FULL: Trump’s speech on Day 2 of RNC Midterm Convention

USA. >> Well, thank you. Thank you very much everybody. And. I want to thank our great vice.

president. What a job he did tonight. You know, the Democrats are getting nervous. They. said if we did a midterm convention, nobody would show up. This place is. packed. It was packed last night. But even more important is the spirit. The spirit. And I'm watching from. backstage and I'm seeing spirit like we. haven't seen in this country for a long. time. [cheering].

Long time. But it came back about a year and a half. ago. We went through four years of. embarrassment, hurt, harm, sickness, filth. It was bad. But now it's good. And it's. going to soon be greater than ever. before. better than ever before. It's. going to be it's going to be something. very special. And I'm going to be a little bit brief. because last night I spoke for two hours.

and I don't feel like going over the. same material again. So, what I'm going to do tonight is a little. bit different. We all love music, right? We're going to get a little music. I'm. going to stand on the stage at the end. with our great opera star Christopher. Mchio. and he's going to sing America the. Beautiful Nessa Dorma and All I Ask of.

You from the Phantom of the Opera and. we're going to have a good time. listening to music because I'm getting a. little bit tired of politics now. So, I'll be brief. I'll be brief. I don't know if you. should I be brief or should I not be. brief though? [cheering].

>> No, I look I look forward. now. Thank you very much. What a great country. What a great. country we have. What a great country. I just want to thank everybody. This has. been so amazing. You know, maybe this is going to be.

happening at midterms again. And maybe. not. We're going to find out. But based. on this, I would say we're going to be. doing it a lot. Uh perhaps I'll be here. I'll be standing with you one of these. days. But. You are a very special group. So I look forward to the performance. And he's considered, as you know, really one of the most brilliant since a. very good friend of mine, the late great.

Luchiano Pavarati. So we're going to. have a lot of fun. But less than two. years ago, the American people gave us a. mandate to save America. And in 19. months, I've delivered on every single. promise I made. And I think I delivered. on far more. Joe Biden and the radical left Democrats. created the worst inflation in American.

history. They gave us wide open borders. with 25 million people pouring in from. all over the globe. They turned our cities into scenes of. death and misery, murder, poverty, and. destruction, and made America a. laughingtock. We were a laughingtock all. over the world. But we took that dark age of America and. turned it into the golden age of. America.

We delivered the largest tax cuts in. American history, the largest regulation. cuts in American history, the largest. investment in our military in the. history of our country, and made America. the energy and military superpower of. the world. We're the superpower of the. world. [cheering].

I built almost 2,000 miles of wall and. created the strongest, most secure. border that America has ever seen. And it was just announced, you saw that, that we achieved the lowest level of. violent crime in. 125 years since the year 1900.

We gave you the largest drop in. prescription drug prices ever recorded. And I wish the news would report it. I. wish the fake media would report it, but. they just don't want to do that with. discounts of 60, 70, 80, and even 90% in. many cases. We have cuts. You remember. when I announced I was the only one in. 28 years that cut drug prices in my. first term. 1/8 of 1%. I was so proud of it because.

nobody's ever done it from January to. December. And now we're cutting your. prices by 50, 60, 70, 80, and a couple. of cases 90%. We went. we went from the highest prescription. drug prices by far anywhere in the world. to the lowest prescription drug prices. anywhere in the world. And that alone.

should get us a big victory. in our midterms that are coming up. Get. out and vote. Please. get out and vote. The stock market has set 80 all-time. record highs. Think of it. In a short. period of time, 80 80 days we sit. records and more Americans are working. today than ever before. Your 401ks, by. the way, are up 44,000 on average.

$44,000. And most of you much higher than that. We terminated all diversity, equity, and. inclusion mandates all across the. federal government. We banned transgender ideology and. critical race theory in our schools. and ended the transgender mutilization.

of our beautiful children. No more. mutilization. And as you know, we had big court. victories in this. We will not have men. playing in women's sports. And if the radical left Democrats and. communists win this election, they're. promising to confiscate your wealth, tax. your social security, abolish no tax on.

tips, no tax on overtime. They're going. to defund the police, giving voting. rights and welfare to 25 million illegal. aliens. Destroy Texas oil and gas, thereby doubling and tripling your. taxes. Have men playing in women's. sports, transgender for everybody, the. mutilization of your children, and set. loose criminals to rob, rape, and kill.

like we had just two years ago. What we. went through, we went through hell. If we win the midterms, we will, on the. other hand, provide a, let's call it. Trump dividend, $5,000 for every adult. citizen in our country. [applause]. And we can do that because our country. has never done better. We're taking in.

trillions, trillions of dollars. There's. never been any country, not even close, that's come anywhere near. So, it's. five, we win $5,000. for every adult. We love our adults. It's about time we take care of our. adults. >> And we will make all Trump tax cut. We're going to take those beautiful tax. cuts. We're going to make them permanent. because the Democrats want to end all.

those tax cuts. They want you to pay. much higher taxes. I never got it. All. my life I've watched politicians say, "We will cut your t," even if they. didn't mean it to be honest with you. "We will cut your taxes. We will cut.". This is the only group I've ever seen. They say, "We are going to give you a. major tax hike. But we will lend all payments to big. health insurance companies and give you. the money directly so that you can buy. your own health care and have money left. over for yourself.

And we will make our very incredible. They tried getting it. Some presidents, most presidents didn't try because they. never had a shot. Most favored nation. prescription drug discounts. We're going. to make it permanent in law. We will pass the No invasion of our. country act. We don't want any more.

invasions of our country. And with JD and everybody else, we will. win the war on fraud. You know, we've. got billions and billions of dollars. already in our coffers of money that we. caught on fraud. It's going to be, I. would bet it will be over a trillion. dollars by the time we're finished. Over. a trillion dollars. And we will end. And it started with.

this and we're going to end it. No cash. bail. How about the no cash bail? Somebody kills somebody and they're out. in the streets two hours later. No cash. bail. We're going to end it and we will. pass the Save America Act mandating. voter ID and proof of citizenship. [cheering].

And we have our great speaker of the. house, Mike Johnson, up there. He's. going to. get it done, Mike. Get it done. So, when I'm on the ticket, everybody. comes to vote. We have, you know, we won. Texas three times. The highest vote in. the history of Texas for any race.

And by the way, you've got to elect Ken. Paxton. You got to do it. And I said something yesterday and I. don't know if he'll ever talk to me. again. Perhaps he will, but I said it. My people said, "Please. don't say that." So, I won't say it. But. I'll tell you what I was thinking about. saying. I said, "I don't like the way Ken. dresses.".

Although I also said he looked really. sharp in that suit yesterday. I thought. spiffy. And then I said, "I don't really like the way Ken talks.". And then I said something that they. really hated. Please, sir, don't say it, sir. So, I'm not going to say it, but. I'll tell you what I was thinking about. saying. I said,

I don't really like the way he looks. I. don't like it. I DON'T LIKE ANY. But you. know what I do like? He was the greatest. attorney general in the history of. Texas. He was the greatest attorney. general in the history of our country. He helped us so much with the walls, with illegal immigration, with. everything. He was our greatest attorney. general and he deserves to go to the. United States Senate.

So, I don't know if he's going to ever. speak to me again, but you know, I don't. care as long as he wins. I really don't. care. I don't have to I don't have to. speak to him. He's going to vote the way. we would vote. So, I don't have to speak. to him. I don't care. You got to vote. for him. So, they're going to vote for. me. But when I don't I'm not on the ticket.

You got to pretend I'm not on the. ticket. You got to do me a big The. biggest favor you've ever done me. You've got to do this for me. You've got. to pretend I'm on the ticket. I'm on the. ticket. I'm on the ticket. He's on the. ticket. Pretend I'm on the ticket. because this. is going to turn out to be one of the. most important elections. It's a. midterm. It's going to be one of the. most important elections. You know, you. can tell just by this. Everybody said if.

you have a midterm convention, it's. going to be a disaster. Nobody. Look at. that. The highest rafter. No empty. seats. The fake news. They they search the arena. There are. thousands of people outside. They search. the arena for a seat. That's why last. night I said, "Please don't get up and. go to the bathroom. Just sit.". Because they're fake people. They're. fake, horrible, horrible human beings. Not all. Not all. You have some fine.

journalists. Not too many, to be honest. with you. But they search when somebody gets up. Yesterday a couple got up. Two people. That's a disaster. And you immediately see cameras running. to take pictures of those two. No, we were packed last night. We had. thousands of people outside and they. said there was some seats that weren't. filled. There were no seats at all. In. fact, look, even the boxes, the rich.

people boxes, they usually have them. blocked as people. Look at them. Every. box is loaded up. Every box, every. corner. Look at that. Look at those boxes up. there. I don't know if they're rich or. they're poor, but they're there. We got. a lot of people in this place. Look at. the upper ring. Look, everything is. taken. And tomorrow you'll say, you'll. read. You know what happens? They have.

they get angry. Tomorrow you're gonna. read there was some empty seats. Headline empty seats. First of all, if. we had one fifth of this crowd, it would. be a success. But we have a packed arena. with thousands of people outside. And I. just want you to know it. It's unbelievable. But look at that. Look at that. [cheering].

>> [cheering]. >> I got to do a little bit better on the. back right there. I don't like that little skin that's. showing. I'm not happy with That's not. good. I shouldn't have looked up there. No, but look at this arena. This is a. big arena. This is the arena. where we had Luca playing just a little. while ago. What the hell happened? But.

this is this is a beautiful place. But. look at it respect. So I say this only. because. they're dishonest. They're fake. And you know what? Honestly, to have a really great. country, you have to have an honest. press. We really have a very largely. dishonest press. But that is impressive. Look, every. single box, I don't know how the hell, you know, the rich people have those. things locked off. I don't know how all. you people got into those boxes,

but if the Democrats get in, they'll. destroy everything that we built. They'll ruin our country. So on election. day, November 3rd, you got to do me a. favor. You got to get out and vote and. you're going to pretend I'm on the. ballot because in a way I am on the. ballot because. if they get in, they're going to take. away all of the things that we got and. we can't let that happen. In many cases, look, they don't want to.

give you voter ID. Why? Because they. want to cheat. They don't want to give. you proof of citizenship. Why? They say, "Well, it's a very complicated process.". They have more lines as to why we want. voter ID. We want proof of citizenship. We want honesty in our elections. We. want honesty in our country. So, please raise your right hand.

>> I pledge. >> to the greatest president in the history. of the United States. >> THAT LOVES US SO MUCH HE CAN'T even. breathe. THAT I WILL GO OUT WITH MY FAMILY, my. friends. I'll do it anyway. I DON'T CARE. IF I'M REGISTERED OR NOT. I'm going to. try and cheat like hell like they do.

They never There's never been bigger. cheaters. I don't care. I am going to go. out and I'm going to get my friends, my. family, and we are going to vote on. November 3rd or we are going to vote. before that. Right. I Okay. Ready? Ready. Here's the way you're Okay. Are you. ready? Look. Front row Joe's. Are you. ready?

>> The great Oh, look at him. The great. ladies of North Carolina. He's about number 300 rally. I don't. know how the hell they do it. They are. beautiful. Okay. Are you ready? >> Ready to finish the pledge. So, we swear. that on November 3rd, we are going to go. out and vote. And you know what? If you want, you can vote Democrat. But.

I don't think there's one person in this. room that's going to vote. I don't think so. >> So, I don't have to preface. I don't. want to waste the words. Vote. Republican. Just go out. If you vote, you're voting Republic. Okay. So help me God. >> So help me God. >> Whoa. >> Now I know. Now. I'd say just about everybody was sc You.

know what happens if you don't vote? You go to hell. You know that. Okay. You go to hell. And I don't want that to. happen to you. So please go and vote. Because together we will defeat the. communists. We will reject. [laughter].

>> We will defeat the communists. We will. reject. And that's what they are. They're not socialist. They're not. Democrats. They're communists. We will. reject these radical left lunatics. We. will demolish the extremists, fanatics, lunatics, and criminals who. want to destroy our country. They want. to destroy the country. There's some. honestly there's something wrong with.

them. Remember at the State of the. Union, they wouldn't clap for people. The 104 year old man got the. Congressional Medal of Honor, the great. helicopter pilot, who's phenomenal. He. was phenomenal. And I will tell you, he took that chopper down and we took. out Maduro with a fort loaded up with. soldiers. Took 25 minutes. And we took over the. oil of Venezuela, 65 billion barrels of. oil. [cheering].

Remember we talked about the pilot, that. handsome guy? He stood up bravely stood. up. He had a hard time with the leg and. now he's got a really hard he's still. suffering greatly with that leg very. greatly. He was shot but it didn't stop. him. He landed that chopper perfectly. exactly in the spot and if he didn't we. would have had a big problem and as you. probably heard he lost the leg. That. beautiful guy lost his leg. And these. Democrats wouldn't applaud. They're.

sick. There's something wrong with them. There's something wrong with them. They. wouldn't applaud. We gave him that day. We gave him the Congressional Medal of. Honor and they wouldn't applaud. There's. something wrong with them. But my one thing when I started this. whole beautiful journey, it's a journey. and we did it together. I didn't do it. You did it. You were just waiting for. somebody to say the words because it's. common sense. It's you could call it.

lots of We want strong borders. We want. great education. We want a tremendous We. built the strongest military in the. world. We had to use it a little more. than I thought, but we cannot let Iran. have a nuclear weapon, and they will. never have a nuclear weapon. And they're folding all over the place. And by the way, we control the straight. The Trump straight, I call it. We control the Trump straight. But I started out with a very simple. thing, little theme. I I came up with.

this little few words. Make America. great again. That's what I want. That's. all I want. And we are making America. far greater than anybody in this room. thought would be part. Think of it. $22. trillion coming into this country when a. record was three trillion many years ago. by a totally different country. 22. trillion. It's never happened before. So, I just want to say we will make. America great again. We will make it.

greater than ever before. And now, and now that's enough of polit. I've. been doing this now for seven days. straight. I want a little music if you. don't mind. Enough with the politics. [cheering]. So ladies and gentlemen, one of the greatest talents, one of the. greatest opera singers anywhere in the. world. And as I said, Luchiano Pavarati. was a friend of mine. And I see nobody.

was greater than Luchiano, but I see no. difference. And I asked Christopher, I. said, Christopher, and I thought the answer was so nice. because I wouldn't have said that. I. would have said, yeah, I'm much better. than him if I were if I were. Christopher. I asked her, I said, "Christopher, can I ask you a question?". Pavarati was a great friend of mine. He. was a great guy. He was a diva like no. woman. Believe me, there was no diva. He. was the all-time diva. Screaming those. fools, those fools. He was great. But he. was a diva. But I said to Christopher,

"So Christopher, let me ask you this. question. Are you as good as Pavarati?". You know what he told me? No. No, sir. He is the maestro. He's the greatest of. them all. I would never have said that. If if if I were him and that question. were asked, I would have said, "Sir, I'm. far better than Pavari." I WOULD HAVE. SAID, "PAVARATI IS nothing compared to. me." But I'll tell you what, Luchiano. was a friend of mine for a long time and. he was great and I see very little. difference. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr.

Christopher Mchio, have a good time. We. love you all. Go out and vote. Go out. and vote. Thank you. >> [music]. [music]. [music].
