00:00In Pennsylvania, your beautiful Commonwealth — it's

00:03always good when you remember it's a commonwealth — he

00:06would call it a state office.

00:08Remember when Biden used — I used to love this guy

00:10because you were on pins and needles watching him

00:12speak.

00:13You know, when's he going to blow it?

00:15And it would always happen.

00:16Remember, he'd finish his speech and he couldn't

00:18find the stair.

00:19He'd go — and then these handsome men would run up

00:26and grab him and help him.

00:28And every time I imitate it, the First Lady tells

00:32me, why?

00:32Why do you keep doing that?

00:34Because they keep saying, you can't find the stairs

00:36off the — you know, you've only got about nine

00:38stairways off the podium.

00:41But unlike Kamala Harris, I will keep radical

00:43Islamic terrorists the hell out of our country.

00:46We're going to keep them out.

00:47We're going to be safe.

00:47We're going to have a safe place.

00:50In fact, just four years ago, we were respected

00:53like never before.

00:55I would say like never before.

00:56We were respected by China, by Iran.

00:59Look at Iran.

01:00Iran is going wild now, aren't they?

01:03You know, Iran was broke when I was President.

01:06They didn't have money to give to Hamas.

01:08They didn't have money to give to Hezbollah.

01:10You see what's going on now with Hezbollah now?

01:14You're going to end up in a world war.

01:15You're going to end up in a third world war pretty

01:17soon with this — with this guy, between Ukraine

01:20and Russia and this stupidity with — I will

01:23get that negotiated and ended before I ever take

01:26office.

01:26I'll do it after the election as President-elect.

01:29In addition to her atrocious record on

01:37border security, Kamala Harris would also

01:39obliterate Pennsylvania's economy.

01:42You know about that.

01:43She's against fracking.

01:44She's against oil drilling.

01:45She wants everybody to have one electric car and

01:48share it with the neighbors.

01:50Harris has stated repeatedly that she

01:53supports, quote, banning fracking.

01:55I ban fracking.

01:56I will ban it on my first day.

01:59Now she's denying it.

02:00Remember, a politician always goes back to what

02:03their original thought was, right?

02:06And she cosponsored the $100 trillion Green News

02:09scam designed to abolish the oil, coal, and

02:12natural gas industries entirely.

02:15We have more liquid gold under our feet than

02:17Saudi Arabia, than Russia, by far.

02:20And under me, we took it from fourth place and

02:23third place.

02:23We took it to first place by a lot.

02:26We were energy independent, soon to be

02:28energy dominant.

02:29We were going to make so much money, we were going

02:31to pay off debt and reduce your taxes still further.

02:34Now you can't do anything with these lunatics.

02:39Under a Harris presidency, 423,000 Pennsylvania jobs

02:45are linked to fracking.

02:46They'd all be demolished.

02:47She's against fracking.

02:48She's not going to allow you to frack.

02:50She's not going to allow you to frack.

02:52And the only reason they're allowing it now

02:54— you know, they cut it way back.

02:55That's what caused the inflation.

02:57And then he opened it up again, back to the Trump

02:59days.

03:00He opened it up to the same because it's similar,

03:03because he wanted to try and get reelected.

03:05They didn't know his party was going to overthrow

03:07him.

03:07It was a coup.

03:09This was a coup of a President.

03:11He will be famous.

03:12He will be more famous for the coup than the bad

03:15job he's done.

03:16Okay?

03:17But this was a coup of the President of the United

03:19States.

03:20This was a — like a South American — you know, you

03:22read about South America.

03:23Every week, they have a coup.

03:25And they also do the attacks on political

03:28opponents, by the way.

03:30Your economy would take a $41 billion hit — this is

03:34Pennsylvania — gutting billions of dollars from

03:37your state and local budgets, slashing funding

03:39for your schools and police forces, and

03:42plunging Pennsylvania into severe economic

03:46depression.

03:47Enjoy it.

03:48Look, if they get in, your state is screwed.

03:52Your state is — you guys are screwed.

03:54Good luck, everybody.

03:55Have a — have fun in Congress, Mike.

03:58But I will never let that happen.

04:01But you don't need to take my word for it alone.
