Here. Everybody said you couldnt get that. Theyve been trying to get that passed for 40 years. We have great legislation. Have you heard the liars when they say trump didnt have legislation. I think we have more in the past seven months, i think we have more than even Harry Trueman o who , people treating their veterans badly or not harry truman. We can fire people who are doing their job badly or arent doing a good job. We also obtained historic increase in Defense Spending to prevent and deter conflict. We believe in peace through strength. Were building up our military
like never before. Thousand and thousand of Brave Americans have paid for our freedom and now its time to preserve and protect their legacy. Last night i laid out a vision for an honorable and enduring outcome in a tough place. A place where our country has failed, afghanistan. This is a place where terrorists are trained. You have people that are not exactly United States fans. Can i say that . I will tell you what were going to do with our incredible military, theyre going to make unbelievable sacrifices and theyve already made in some cases the ultimate sacrifice. Were fighting for them and the
trust they need to fight and win. You see as we going on in north korea. All of a sudden, who knows. I can tell you what i said, thats not strong enough. Some people said it was too strong. Its not strong enoughso i but jongun i respect the fact that hes starting to respect that fact very much. And maybe probably not, but maybe something positive can come about. They wont tell you that but maybe something positive can come about. Every american deserve as a country that protects them and fights for them and defends them. And speaking of that you have three congressman in the audience and your governor who pet inside. He said i met me at the plane and said i want to spend my time outside and i said thats a good idea governor. And hes a great governor, governor ducey and congressman andy biggs. Get up here. Re
for us, okay. The same failed Voice Ins Washington who oppose our movement are the same people who gave us one terrible trade deale after another. Who gave us one Foreign Policy disaster after another. Who sacrificed our sovereignty, our wealth and our jobs. We dont need advice from the washington, d. C. Swamp. We need right now to drain the swamp. Thats whats happening to, believe me. Too, believe me. Washington is full of people only looking out for themselves but i Dont Come To Washington ive had a great life. Ive had great success. Ive enjoyed my life. Most people think im crazy to have done this. Agenda. We accomplished historic amounts in a short period of time. We signed more than 50 pieces of legislation. They said we signed none. We signed 50. Appointed Justice Gorsuch and nominated 31 new federal judges with many more on the way. We have canceled jobkilling regulation and creating American Energy like weve never unleashed before. Wea e weve ended the war on clean coal and a second coal mine where theyll take out clean
coal its opening in the state of pennsylvania. The second one. And the state of West Virginia which wasin way behind and laggg was now in terms of gdp increase second last quarter to the state of texas. How about that . West virginia. The governor just quit the democrats and joined the Republican Party. In the proud tradition of our great leaders, George Washington please dont take
his statue down. Please. From lincoln to teddy roosevelt. They want to take him down too. Theyre trying to figure out why. They dont know. Theyre trying to take away our culture and history and our weak leaders do it overnight. These things have been there for 150 years, 100 years. You go back to a university and its gone. Weak, weak people. We are going to protect american industry. We are going to protect the american worker. No longer will we allow other countries to close our factories, steal our jobs and drain our wealth. We are building our future with
american hands, american labor, american iron, aluminum and steel. We will buy americans and hire americans. I immediately withdrew the United States from the disastrous transpacific partnership. Would have been a disaster. You know one of the worst deals anybody in history has ever entered into. We have begun formal renegotiation with mexico and canada on nafta. I have been talking about nafta for a long time and im sorry it
took so long. We have to give notice and then you have to wait and then wait a long time. Anyway, we started two days ago. Personally i dont think we can make a deal because weve been so badly taken advantage of. Theyve made such great deals. Most of the country but in particular mexico, i dont think we can make a deal. I think well end up terminating nafta at some point probably. But i told you from the first day we will renegotiate nafta or terminate nafta. I dont think you can make a deal without it but well see what happens. Youre in good hands i can tell you. We are unleashing American Energy and i withdrew the United States from the jobkilling
paris climate accord. People have no idea how bad it was for this country. Great for other countries. We were like the lap dog. Our country was so behind. Ic since took the oath of office we added more than 1 million jobs. Unemployment is at almost a 17year low. Wages are rising. The stock market is at the alltime high in history and Economic Growth has surged to 2. 6 . Remember, everybody said you wont bring it up to 1 . You wont bring it up to 1. 2 . And we just started. Thee regulations we got rid of and we got rid of regulation but
it will be sensible. Theyree unleashing our economy. We have a gdp two weeks ago was announced for the quarter 2. 6 . I said wed try to hit 3 . Maybe ill have to increase any offer. So many people, the economic count council said well take a pass and people are now calling me. Ow people that were like, well take a pass. Don, Lets Get Together for lunch. Can we do it privately instead of through a council. They dont get it. Theyre calling and saying how about getting together
privately. Why should they be on a council . Thats the way it is, folks. To bring more jobs and industry to our shores we are commit to passingsi the first major tax reform in over 30 years. We need the help of congress. Were giving you the biggest tax cut in the history of our country. The democrats will find a way to obstruct. If they do, remember they are stomp you from getting a massive tax cut. Just remember that, okay. Americas Crushing Business Tax is a massive selfinflicted economic wound. We have one of the highest Business Tax Rates anywhere in the world pushing jobs and
wealth out of our country. Thats why were going to lower the tax on American Business to bring back those Companies Bring them back to our country and we want more product stamped with made in the usa. We also want Everyday Americans to be able to keep more of ther own money. So for the Democratic Senators especially the ones where i won their states by 20 and 30 points, i really hope youre going to come over to our side because when you have 52 republicans, if you lose two thats the end. As good as something is its hard to get 51 out of 52. I hope some of the democrats that will lose their election will come over and give everybody a Big Beautiful Tax Cutan which is going to be grea for the economy. Its time to pass a tax cut for middleclass families. Well make america the best place to hire, grow and start a business again. We want to lift our people from welfare to work. From dependence to independence and from poverty to prosperity. Were going to do an Infrastructure Bill and build highways, railways, waterways across our land. Our greatest creations, our most incredible buildings and works of art are waiting to be brought to life. American hands will build this future. American energy will power this future. We have become an Energy Exporter for the first time just recently. American workers will bring this to light. We are the nation that dug out the panama canal and put a Man On The Moon and defeated communism. We can do anything and build anything. Its time to remember what our brave soldiers never forgot, americans share one flag, one home and one glorious destiny. We live according to the same law, raise our children by the same values and we are all made
by the same almighty god. As long as we remember this and have enough strength and courage in ourselves, there is no challenge too great, no task too large, no dream beyond our reach. We are americans and the future belongs to us. The future belongs to all of you. This is our moment. This is our chance. This is our opportunity to recapture our dynasty like never before. To rebuild our future. To deliver justice for every forgotten man, woman and child in america. Freedom will prevail. Our values will endure. Our citizens will prosper. Arizona will thrive and our beloved nation will succeed like never ever before. So to americans young and old near and far and cities small and large, we say these words again tonight, we will make America Strong again. We will make America Wealthy again. We will make america proud again. We will make america safe again. And we will make America Great again. Thank you, arizona. God bless you. Thank you. Thank you. President donald j. Trump the 45th president of the United States speaking for about an
hour and 15 minutes in front of a friendly crowd in arizona. The president spent about 30 minutes castigating the media for the coverage Of Charlottesville, virginia and his remarks about that. Relitigating his statements to prove how many times he spoke out against racism, bigotry and neonazis and the kkk and the marching. He opened the speech with a long ticktock of his own words. The president did not mention the two arizona sitting senators by name and criticized them nonetheless and the vote that preventing Repealing Obamacare and referred to senator flake but not by name. His administration labelled some successes but some things stoods out tonight. T. On his southern border wall,
said, quote, if we have to close down our government, well build that wall. An interesting comment for the coming weeks. On trade as nafta is being renegotiated he said, quote, well probably end up terminating nafta and ended with Praising Theor troops saying wel make America Strong and safe and great again. With that lets get analysis from our panel. Fox News White House correspondent and matt schlapp the contributor with the hill. Thats as good as anything ive heard on the Campaign Trail and he is relitigating charlottesville. Clearly he had something he wanted to get off his chest and we were discussing this. The president had i think a clear win last fight with his
speech with the new policy in afghanistan. Some people complaineded about lack of detail but that was deliberate on the part of the president and now hes changed the subject again and what youll see is when he was recounting what he said about charlottesville he left out the part that was the most controversial that got him in so much trouble even with members of his own party saying theres blame to go around on both sides and theres fine people on both sides of that argument as well. I thought it was interesting a couple things. He made policy tonight saying hell shut down government if need be in order to get the wall built. I think we also saw a nod towards the midterm elections where he said if the democrats dont give you tax reform they have stood in the way of giving you a tax cut. Thats an argument for the state of california because the democrats are trying to win back what they need to take back the
house. Already theyre laying the groundwork for that. For his supporters this is catnip. Its been Candidate Trump and its trump being trump. However, for people in the administration as the some concern they could have had the speech last night last a few days at least before over taking it by an event like this. This is how President Trump likes to strum the cords of driving the message. Chords of driving the message. If have you a good speech and youre getting good feedback on an importantin issue you want i to play a couple days. Thats just not the way he plays the game. Whats really interesting, ive noticed the last couple of several days, were not talking about a special council and russia and interesting he keeps
flooding the zone with interesting News Coverage and this will do that again tonight. Its a Campaign Rally but i think its his attempt at unity by going in front of a major audience and knew people would be watching. I think his staff is probably not happy he went back to the charlottesville rhetoric and commentary but he felt he needed to defend his words and himself and more importantly something i felt was important he said personally theyre attacking my supporters as if theyre racist and theyre not. Whether youre a trump supporter or not are tired of the left accusing them for racism for simply disagreeing with them. If you disagree with taking down a confederate statue youre a racist. In terms of him getting his message out hell get the last word whether its a distraction to his agenda or not and thats what we saw tonight. Ive said on the panel before
sometimes washington and new york and l. A. Sees it through a different prism and does the scorecard differently and perhaps Middle America and arizona. What did you see tonight and does this walk for him . It does and it doesnt. He played all his Greatest Hits from the campaign to his presidency. The crowd waited outside for hours and placed 1900 people. The base is still there and want to see him and he puts on a she and theye wanted to see the sh. He started with a unifying theme and he had some of that in his beach last night then went off track and relitigated charlottesville. If hes going to recover ground and be seen as the president of all americans and a healer im not sure he made it up tonight. At the end it looked like he was talking to his base and supporters about his agenda. I dont know he was bringing anybody back to him or converting anybody. Does the Media Bashing work . Yeah, it always has for him. We saw this on the Campaign Trail. On a couple occasions he went so far as to almost become dangerous and as a responsible leader he went far and almost did tonight. I thought he was going to call an audible and i saw john kelly in the back going he started winding up on joe arpaio and basically said, dont worry. You can plan to have a nice christmas. You wont be in jail because a pardon is coming. Lets listen to that. Was sheriff joe convicted of doing his job . He should have had a jury. But ill make a prediction. I think hell be just fine. I wont do it tonight because i dont want to cause any
controversy. Sheriff joe can feel good. Hes essentially saying the predictions coming true. The checks in the mail. I think we can expect it in the next if you days. The mayor said please dont do it. Its not appropriate. People were saying to pardon him at a political rally would be the wrong thing for a president to do. The sheriff was convicted of corruption in a court as far as criminal contempt. Its a Misdemeanor Charge but he can be fined or spend time in jail. The president all but said dont worry, joe. Ive giving you a get out of jail free card. The president mentioned he doesnt want to cause controversy. Theres been talk on a National Level about the pardon but he was the sheriff for 27 years in the county and was wildly
popular until a couple months ago and they feel the government singled him out for enforcing the Immigration Law and as the president ed pointed out today, illegal immigration affects every sector of the arizona economy, how people live, the job market, the community safety. For him to say it there of course hes going to get applause. He is still respected there for the job he did as sheriff. Its a Classic Trump moments. There were moments where he was trolling his own staff. I dont want to name names. He had a couple moments. He thrives on this sort of thing thumbing his nose at bi conventions. He even joked at one point saying, well, they say its not being president ial. He knows its not president ial
and its trump doing what trump does and well see if it gets him anywhere. Like when he said they told me not to say it but James Mad Dog Mattis will be my secretary of defense. Dont mention any names. So i wont. I wont. One vote away. Int will not mention any names. Very president ial. Nobody wants me to talk about your other center who is weak on borders, weak on crime so i wont talk about him. Nobody wants me to talk about him. Nobody knows who he is. Thats senator flake who the center Mitch Mcconnell supports. The committee has laws that governs what it does and supports incumbents. What donald trump does is he supports people who support his agenda and goes after people who dont. I will tell you as a strong republican but a conse
