00:00On Monday, a major ruling was handed down
00:02from a highly respected federal judge in Florida, Eileen Cannon,
00:08finding that the prosecutor and the fake documents case
00:12against me were totally unconstitutional,
00:16and the entire case was thrown out of court.
00:22With all of that publicity thrown out of court.
00:25If Democrats want to unify our country,
00:33they should drop these partisan witch hunts,
00:35which I have been going through for approximately eight years.
00:40And they should do that without delay
00:42and allow an election to proceed that is worthy of our people.
00:45We're gonna win it anyway.
00:49On this journey, I am deeply honored to be joined
00:53by my amazing wife, Melania.
01:05And, Melania, thank you very much.
01:07You also did something really beautiful,
01:11a letter to America calling for national unity,
01:14and it really took the Republican Party by surprise.
01:17I will tell you, it was beautiful.
01:23But I'm thrilled to have a new friend
01:27and partner fighting by my side,
01:30the next vice president of the United States,
01:33the current senator from Ohio, J.D.
01:35Vance, and his incredible wife, Usha.
01:44But he's gonna be with us for a long time,
01:46and it was an honor to select him.
01:48Great, great student at Yale.
01:50His wife was a great student at Yale.
01:52They met at Yale. These are two smart people.
01:57So, J.D., you're gonna be doing this for a long time.
02:00Enjoy the ride.
02:05If you took the 10 worst presidents
02:07in the history of the United States,
02:09think of it, the 10 worst, added them up.
02:11They will not have done the damage that Biden has done.
02:15Only gonna use the term once.
02:18Biden. I'm not gonna use the name anymore.
02:20Just one time.
02:22The damage that he's done to this country is unthinkable.
02:25It's unthinkable.
02:27Under this administration, our current administration,
02:31groceries are up 57%.
02:34Gasoline is up 60% and 70%.
02:37Mortgage rates have quadrupled.
02:40And the fact is, it doesn't matter what they are
02:42because you can't get the money anywhere.
02:43Can't buy houses.
02:44Young people can't get any financing to buy a house.
02:47The total household costs have increased
02:50an average of $28,000 per family under this administration.
02:55Republicans have a plan to bring down prices
02:58and bring them down very, very rapidly
03:01by slashing energy costs.
03:03We will, in turn, reduce the cost of transportation,
03:07manufacturing, and all household goods.
03:10So much starts with energy.
03:13And remember, we have more liquid gold under our feet
03:16than any other country by far.
03:18We are a nation that has the opportunity
03:22to make an absolute fortune with its energy.
03:27We have it, and China does it.
03:29Under the Trump administration just three and a half years
03:33ago, we were energy independent.
03:36But soon, we will actually be better than that.
03:39We will be energy dominant and supply not only ourselves,
03:44but we will supply the rest of the world.
03:47So to conclude, just a few short days ago,
03:52my journey with you nearly ended.
03:55We know that.
03:57And yet, here we are tonight, all gathered together,
04:00talking about the future, promise,
04:02and a total renewal of a thing we love very much.
04:07It's called America.
04:09We live in a world of miracles.
04:11None of us knows God's plan or where life's adventure
04:15will take us.
04:17And quite simply put, we will very quickly
04:22make America great again.
04:25Thank you very much.
04:27Thank you very much, Wisconsin.
04:29God bless you.
04:32God bless you, Wisconsin.
04:33And God bless the United States of America, our great country.
04:37Thank you very much, everybody.
04:40Oh, no.
04:42I'm coming.
04:44Oh, I'm coming.
04:48Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
