00:00Well, let me tell you something, brother.
00:13You know something?
00:14When I came here tonight, there was so much energy in this room, I felt maybe I was in
00:20Madison Square Garden getting ready to win another world title, or maybe I thought the
00:28vibe was so intense, the energy was so crazy, it felt like maybe I was going to press that
00:34no-good stinky giant over my head and slam him through the mat, brother.
00:41But what I found out was I was in a room full of real Americans, brother.
00:47And at the end of the day, with our leader up there, my hero, that gladiator, we're going
00:57to bring America back together, one real American at a time, brother.
01:05You know something?
01:06I've seen some great tag teams in my time, Hulk Hogan and, ooh, yeah, the Macho Man Randy
01:13Savage.
01:16But you know something?
01:18I see the greatest tag team of my life standing upon us, getting ready to straighten this
01:24country out for all the real Americans.
01:27You know, when I look out and I see all the real Americans, I think about how Donald Trump,
01:39his family was compromised.
01:41When I look out there and I see Donald Trump, I think about how his business was compromised.
01:49But what happened last week when they took a shot at my hero, and they tried to kill
02:00the next president of the United States?
02:03Enough was enough, and I said, let Trumpamania run wild, brother, let Trumpamania rule again,
02:15let Trumpamania make America great again.
02:24And as an entertainer, I try to stay out of politics, but after everything that's happened
02:31to our country over the past four years, and everything that happened last weekend, I can
02:37no longer stay silent.
02:45I'm here tonight because I want the world to know that Donald Trump is a real American
02:53hero.
