00:00Thank you, President Trump.

00:02We have the greatest economy in the history of our country.

00:06We have never done so well.

00:09Everybody was amazed by it.

00:11Other countries were copying us.

00:12We got hit with COVID.

00:15And when we did, we spent the money necessary so we wouldn't end up in a Great Depression,

00:19the likes of which we had in 1929 by the time we finished.

00:23So we did a great job.

00:24We got a lot of credit for the economy, a lot of credit for the military and no wars

00:28and so many other things.

00:30Everything was rocking good.

00:31But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that

00:35COVID mess.

00:37He created mandates.

00:38That was a disaster for our country.

00:40But other than that, we had given them back a country where the stock market actually

00:46was higher than pre-COVID, and nobody thought that was even possible.

00:50The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounce-back jobs, a bounce-back from the

00:55COVID.

00:56He has not done a good job.

00:57He's done a poor job.

00:58And inflation is killing our country.

01:00It is absolutely killing us.

01:02Thank you.

01:03President Biden?

01:04Well, look, the greatest economy in the world.

01:05He's the only one who thinks that, I think.

01:06I don't know anybody else who thinks he had the greatest economy in the world.

01:11And, you know, the fact of the matter is that we found ourselves in a situation where his

01:17economy, he rewarded the wealthy.

01:20He had the largest tax cut in American history, $2 trillion.

01:23He raised the deficit larger than any president has in any one term.

01:28He's the only president other than Herbert Hoover who has lost more jobs than he had

01:31when he began, since Herbert Hoover.

01:33The idea that he did something that was significant in the military, you know, when he was president,

01:39they were still killing people in Afghanistan.

01:41He didn't do anything about that.

01:43When he was president, we were still finding ourselves in a position where you had a notion

01:47that we were this safe country.

01:50The truth is I'm the only president this century that doesn't have any, this decade, that done

01:57any troops dying anywhere in the world like he did.
