8:02 pm
[applause] hagedorn: a quick update on the democrat party in minnesota. they moved far to the left like democrats across the country. we actually have a guy running for governor who wants to make minnesota a sanctuary state. have two people running for senate on the democrat party. they love late-term abortions and they believe in gun control. all thesee congressional candidates, including the guy i am running against, who thinks we should have socialized medicine, single-payer. does that make sense for the mayo clinic and rochester? no. they want to replace and take us back to obama and then some. will we let that happen? president, we will work tirelessly, and because of your support and endorsement, i

if democrats take charge, maxine , now, listen to this one. she will take over financial services in congress. can you believe it? maxine waters. that is one of the most powerful committees in congress. if you want to stop pelosi from becoming speaker, if you want to stop chuck schumer from becoming majority leader, and if you want to stop the radical democrats from running congress, then you need to vote republican. you have to get out there on november 6 and vote republican. you have to vote for these people. these are great people. a democrat-controlled congress would also pose a grave threat to medicare.
Check
8:06 pm
you know what they are doing with medicare? they will destroy it. the majority of house democrats have cosponsored a socialist takeover of health care that would obliterate medicare. their plan is called medicare for all, except they have no money. but it is really medicare for none. their plan would rob american seniors of the benefits they paidpaid, and they have these benefits and they have paid so much money for their entire lives. you take it away. thank you, darling. love these people. these people are so great. republicans want to protect medicare for our great seniors, who have earned it, and they have paid for it. and we will always protect americans with pre-existing conditions. we are going to take care of them.
8:07 pm
some of the democrats have been talking about ending pre-existing conditions, and some people have, you know what i say? we will get a little more money from china. it will be just fine. it will be good. will be just fine. we will take care of pre-existing conditions, remember that. the lead sponsor of the democrats, think of this. the health care takeover, who is the lead sponsor? i have been reading so much about him. he did predict i was going to win, by the way. that is the only thing he has gone right in a long time. keith ellison. do you know him? right, he was on the show a day after i announced, on june 16, i came down the stairs with melania, who is right now in .frica, the first lady doing a great job for the people of africa. amazing.
8:08 pm
but ellison was on a show the day after i announced and he looked at two people, the hosts, and he said, you know he is going to win, don't you? and they smiled, one laughed. they thought i was doing this for fun. you think this is fun? it is a lot more work than anybody knew. and that is the last time he has been right. but i am glad he was right about that. allison is the number two official in the entire democrat marchednd he recently in a parade wearing a shirt that read, "i do believe in borders." that is wonderful. by the way, you don't have borders, you don't have a country, folks. you don't have a country. keith ellison's democratic party embraces radical socialism and
8:09 pm
open borders. the new platform of the democrat .arty is to abolish ice they want to unleash violent predators and ruthless killers, and you know it. whybody would say, oh gee, is he saying that? it is true. our schools,ear near our families, and into our communities. no good. americaans believe should be a sanctuary for law-abiding americans, not criminal aliens. republicans proudly stand with the brave men and women of ice, border patrol, and law enforcement and police. great people. they do an incredible job. my administration has also reformed our refugee program to protect american communities
8:10 pm
like you have in minnesota, where you are being treated very unfairly. to protect your families and your taxpayer dollars. if you want security, if you want a border, then what you have to do is immediately go out, think about it, that your friends and neighbors and your workers. you have to go november 6, vote republican. that will do it. we need the votes. i keep hearing we have a majority. if somebody has a cold, we don't have a majority. if somebody is not feeling great, we don't have a majority. it is like the saying, that is why we are getting the wall by hook, by crook, we are getting the wall but it is so difficult. these guys want to stop it. they want to say, it is interesting. we have $700 billion for the
Check
8:11 pm
$716 billion for the military. we are rebuilding the military. to get money for the wall, their whole life is trying to obstruct the wall because they know we wanted. but you know what? it is not working. i would like to do it a lot faster but it is not working. we are getting the money. you think it is easy? not easy. we are getting it built and it is already going up in san diego and lots of other places along the border. this election is about safety, and it is about prosperity. since the election, we have 4 million new jobs. the media will tell you there was no way we could have said that during the campaign. nobody would have believed it. lifted 4 million americans off of food stamps. think of that.
8:12 pm
you know, when you do that, you save a lot of money and you also make a lot of people really happy. when you think about it, right? nearly half a million new many fracturing jobs. remember, you need a magic wand, you will never do that. we don't build anything anymore, and we have companies pouring into our country and they are coming to minnesota and a lot of states. but we have companies, they are all coming back. they want to be were the action is. they are all coming back. they are all coming back. i was with prime minister abe two days ago. he said many auto companies are coming back. i said that is not good enough. all of them have to come back. and he is going to do that. they are all coming back. they have already started. you look at what is going on in michigan where they are coming back so fast, but they are coming back, to ohio,
8:13 pm
pennsylvania, south carolina, north carolina. and they are coming in to a place called minnesota. we love minnesota?

8:14 pm
then, on election night, i said, let's go to minnesota but they a great state,ed michigan. that is another one that hasn't been won in many years. i went to michigan, we had 32,000 people in michigan at 1:00 a.m. and it was already election day. i had to skip minnesota. i felt so badly because one more speech, i could have showed up at 3:00 a.m. maybe, i don't know. but we are going to be in. we are going to win minnesota. and you see that just by this crowd. this place is unbelievable. of,omething i am very proud african-american unemployment has reached its lowest rate ever recorded. poverty hasican reached its lowest rate ever
8:15 pm
recorded. think of that. the lowest unemployment, the lowest rate of poverty. think of this. african-american, how do you vote for somebody else? i have done more for them in two years. african-americans are coming up and they are saying, mr. president, thank you. thank you. and their median income is the highest. but not only for african-americans, for asian, or hispanic. hispanic unemployment is the lowest it has ever been. think of it. asian unemployment, the lowest it has ever been. people with no high school diploma, that is a very important group of people to me, is by far the lowest it has ever been.

8:18 pm
these countries, but take saudi arabia. would you say they have some money? we defend them, and they pay us a small percentage. i said, excuse me. is my friend.he do you mind paying for the military? do you mind? hey. are paying for 30%. i said, do you mind paying? but nobody has asked me. i said, ims can you, king. he is great. . said, i am serious trust me. he said nobody has ever asked me . they will do it. you are talking about billions and billions of dollars. japan, president obama would never have asked. that is not his thing. to beuld somebody asked paid back billions of dollars? japan, very rich, very great country.

8:20 pm
missiles and the the nuclear. but no president has done anything. it is like, three months, and they will say, the all-time great, what is taking so long? i said, it has been three months and you don't have rockets. you don't have missiles. you don't have nuclear testing. and we get all about her, i mean, it is crazy. here is what they say. one of them actually said, a friend of mine, why is the tosident giving some much north korea? i haven't given anything. what have i given? i didn't pay one point billion dollars -- $1.8 billion for the hostages like president obama did. he gave them, i haven't given but i have a good relationship with chairman camp. -- chairman kim. because of that relationship come i think we will work something out. your nose? let's see. so far, when did i leave?
8:21 pm
three months ago? , he agreed tog meet. you know what? i agreed to meet. i agreed to meet. is that a big deal? i agreed to meet. i asked the democrats before, we were close to a war with north korea. i tell you what. my rhetoric was tough at the beginning. really really tough. cause a said i would war with north korea. then, with of russia -- with putin of russia, that was a great meeting. they want me to get into a boxing match with him. i think i would do very well. , the fake news some of fake news, they said with russia, he was too nice. with north korea, they said he was too tough. let me tell you, if i was really
8:22 pm
rough with russia, they would say he was too tough. these people are loco, i am telling you. loco. people are crazy. fake news, the fake news, everybody. they are fake. after years of rebuilding our nation, we are finally rebuilding our nation. right? to give our workers and businesses a level playing field , republicans passed the biggest package of tax cuts and tax reforms in the history of our country. better vote for karin. they want to take them away. we have taken historic action to make health care more affordable
8:23 pm
thed we have gotten rid of premiums. the premiums on obamacare were going up 116%, 138%, 200%. through great management and great people, we have kept them down. we have mostly obliterated obamacare, although we had it, at 2:00 a.m., i am not going to do it. 2:00 in the morning. think of it differently. we didn't get one democrat vote, so we are stuck with it but it is obliterated. and the big thing is, we get rid of the most unpopular part of obamacare, the individual mandate, where you have the privilege of paying a fortune so you don't have to pay a fortune for wearable health care, right? -- for affordable health care, so the premiums in
8:24 pm
minnesota this year are coming down by double digits. think of that. it, butn't even like while we have the remnants of obamacare, we are working to make it more affordable. and reducing drug prices. the fda approved a record number of affordable generic medicines. and that's not all. drug prices are coming down. you might have seen last month, where i called up some of the drug companies. i said, folks, you raised the drug prices. you can't do that. and they all reduced them. do you believe it? that is what i said. i have a lot of power. pfizer, you saw that. they raised their drug prices and i am bringing them down. i said, what are you doing raising them? i'm sorry, mr. president, we
8:25 pm
will reduce them. i said, man, this is a powerful position. the first time in the history of drug companies that they did it. i called them the next day and said i was extremely unhappy. do you think hillary clinton would have done that? i don't think so. i don't think so. by the way, she or whoever it might have been, crazy bernie, they wouldn't have done any of the things, we did the greatest trade deal. look at the money. we did 4.2% gdp. they were going down. they would've had a minus four point, they said 4.2% is impossible. it will go higher, much higher. we have such potential, between military and trade deals. we have hundreds of billions of
8:26 pm
