00:00 When I left office, we handed Crooked Joe the fastest economic recovery.
00:05 It was the fastest recovery -- think of this -- economically ever recorded.
00:10 The stock market was at a record high.
00:12 The price of gasoline was $2 and even less than that a gallon.
00:17 Think of that.
00:18 We had periods of time where it was $1.57, $1.87.
00:22 How does that sound to you?
00:29 But under $2 a gallon, the 30-year mortgage rate was at a record low, the lowest ever
00:33 recorded -- $2.
00:35 Think of this -- 2.65 percent.
00:38 That's what your mortgage rates were.
00:40 Now you can't get a mortgage.
00:42 If you want to pay 8 or 9 percent, you still can't get them.
00:45 And we had no inflation.
00:47 We had no inflation.
00:48 We had the greatest economy in history.
00:50 This is -- everybody says -- this isn't me.
00:52 This is everybody.
00:54 We had the greatest.
00:55 We had no inflation.
00:56 Today, your inflation is so high, it doesn't matter.
00:58 If you make money, it doesn't matter.
00:59 It eats you alive.
01:02 Inflation is what they call a "country buster."
01:04 You go back 200 years, 300 years to countries with inflation, they got busted.
01:10 Ask Germany, "How has inflation many, many years ago destroyed the country?"
01:14 It is a country buster.
01:16 And we have record horrible inflation.
01:19 And now it's getting worse.
01:22 And now they think they're not going to be able to cut interest rates because it's getting
01:25 worse.
01:27 You don't hear that, and they don't talk about it.
01:29 And the fake news -- these people right over here, they don't want to talk about it, but
01:32 it's getting worse.
01:35 But then Biden came in and unleashed mayhem on our economy, just like he unleashed mayhem
01:41 on our border.
01:42 The border -- there's never been anything like this, a border like this.
01:46 There's never been anything in the world.
01:48 There's never been a border like this in the history of the world.
01:52 Using COVID as an excuse, crooked Joe Biden launched the greatest confiscation of middle-class
01:59 wealth in the history of our country.
02:02 It's middle-class wealth.
02:03 He confiscated it.
02:05 In three years, Joe Biden and his party stole trillions of dollars from hardworking Americans
02:09 and gave it -- their political -- and he gave it all to their cronies in Washington, their
02:17 heirs to be.
02:18 He gave so much money away.
02:20 And the green news scam -- it's the worst scam in the history of our country.
02:24 They spent $2 trillion -- the green news scam, the greatest scam in history -- they spent
02:30 $2 trillion on their so-called American Rescue Plan, which wasn't rescuing this country.
02:36 How is the Rescue Plan doing?
02:41 Trillions of dollars wasted, which Obama's economic advisers called the original sin.
02:46 They actually called it.
02:47 His advisers said that was the original sin that led to rampant inflation.
02:51 That's where it began.
02:53 They spent another trillion dollars on their misnamed Inflation Reduction Act, and then
02:58 they admitted it really wasn't meant to reduce inflation.
03:02 They call it the Inflation Reduction Act.
03:05 Remember when a certain senator said, "I'll approve it," and that was the end of his career?
03:10 I won't tell you his name was Manchin.
03:12 Oh, I'm sorry.
03:13 (Laughter and applause.)
03:14 No, that was the end of his career.
03:18 He was popular.
03:19 He was getting more and more popular.
03:20 He started out not so popular for many years.
03:22 Then he became popular because he was rejecting all of this madness.
03:26 And then, for some reason, he agreed to sign a couple of things that were not good, and
03:30 it didn't work out too well.
03:32 $1.2 trillion for their fake infrastructure -- he had a package of infrastructure.
03:39 You take a look at it, it's fake.
03:42 It's fake and it's horrible.
03:44 And then all of that money, again, going over to the Green New Scam.
03:47 Joe Biden's economic plan is to make China rich and America poor.
03:51 My economic plan is to make America richer than ever before.
03:55 And that's what we're going to do.
03:58 That's what we're going to do.
04:01 (Applause.)
04:02 With your vote, we're going to save our economy and we're going to bring our country back
04:08 from hell.
04:09 We have a country that's in hell.
