Theres blood all over the floors of this hospital, they say its as bad as a military war zone hospital. Knives, knives, knives. London hasnt been used to that, theyre getting used to it, pretty tough. Were here today because we recognize a simple fact, the one thing that has always stood between the American People and the elimination of our Second Amendment rights has been conservatives in congress willing to fight for those rights. We were fighting. [applause] pres. Trump fighting. Were fighting to defend our freedom, we need the people in washington to support our freedom. To support our candidates, to support ted, to support the people that have to raise their hand. You know, they say we have a majority, we have what, majority of one person, thats not really a majority. We need republicans to do it right, to get the kind of things we want, weve got to get republicans elected. Weve got to do great in 2018. Those midterms we have to do. We need judges who are willing to protect our sovereignty and oppose our american way of life, the constitution cant be changed by judges, bureaucrats or the united nations, we are appointing federal judges who will interpret the law, as written. [applause] pres. Trump in my favorite year, i nominated and Senate Confirmed more circuit judges than any new administration, by far, in history and we will have the alltime record very soon. [applause] pres. Trump president obama was nice to us, he left us a lot of judges and i said, thats a lot of judges. Like, almost 140. Thats a lot of judges. I was very surprised. I was very happy. And we put an incredible new justice on the Supreme Court, judge neil gorsuch. [applause] pres. Trump virtually every single democrat in the senate opposed neil gorsuch, just like they have consistently opposes judges who will protect your basic freedoms. And by the way, the way theyre slow walking people that are supposed to be working for us in government. If you look at what they are doing, in the history of this country, there has never been anything like what the democrats are doing on great people who gave up their jobs and their lives to take a job as an ambassador or people working for our government and they cant get approved because every single one of them is being slow walked by the democrats and its never happened before and you know what, i hope we have long memories, but i hope we dont have to worry about it because were going to be there a long time. We wont have to worry. What they are doing is disgraceful. The what they are doing, humor in the group, what they are doing is disgraceful. What they are doing to the wall and immigration is disgraceful. Take a look at the border, take a look. Take a look at what is happening. My administration and conservatives in congress were elected to oppose your rights, to rebuild our military, which we are doing a great job of rebuilding. [applause] pres. Trump to restore our prosperity, secure our community and defend our borders. [applause] pres. Trump we have the worst immigration laws anywhere in the world, but i tell you what, it is not easy for people to come in, i will tell you. We have the worst laws. After years of defending the borders of other countries, we go into wars with other countries, we shouldnt be there. We go into wars to defend their borders, we dont defend our own borders. And were going to start defending our country. Were going to start defending our borders. [applause] pres. Trump youve all seen on television, all over the paper, the Illegal Migrants pouring up through mexico, flooding the borders, many from central america, honduras, all over the place, coming up by the thousands. Were stopping them at different fronts, but we dont have laws, we have laws that were written by people that truly could not love our country. [applause] pres. Trump illegal immigration must end. Illegal immigration must end. We are going to have strong borders. I will tell you, we have maxed out every law. We are going to have truly strong and going to take people into our country, but theyre going to come in based on merit, not based on picking somebody out. We are not going to let our country be overwhelmed and were going to demand congress secure the borders in the upcoming c. R. , very soon, going to be very soon, in recent months, democratic lawmakers voted against legislation to close deadly immigration loopholes, like catchandrelease. How about that one . We caught them. Oh, release them. Byebye. Welcome to america. Welcome to america. That is what we have. Were going to keep violent criminals out. Senate democrats like john castro, you saw what happened there, what he did to one of the finest people in our country, what he did to the admiral, what he did is a disgrace. John castro. Bill nelson and bob casey voted against case law, legislation named for case, who was gunned down by a fivetime deported illegal immigrant. You saw what happened with that court case. Can you believe the result of that court case . Can you believe that . The same standard, along with nearly every other democrat, also voted to protect something thats actually becoming very unpopular, sanctuary cities, can you believe that . Democrats and liberals in Congress Want to disarm lawabiding americans at the same time they are releasing dangerous illegal aliens and savage gang members unto our states. These countries send up their worst. Remember in my opening speech, i got criticized for it. Remember . Guess what, they are not sending their finest, that i can tell you. Were getting the real beauties in here. But were taking ms13, horrible killer gang members, getting them out because our guys are much tougher than theirs, there is not even a little bit of a contest and that is the only language they understand, that is the only language they understand. These are savage killers. My administration believes our cities should be safe havens for americans, not sanctuary for criminals. [applause] pres. Trump and we believe that violent gang members must be thrown out of our country immediately, not left to stay to fester and to get larger. We get them out and we are taking them out by the thousands. [applause] pres. Trump we had the right laws, which we can have very quickly with cooperation, we wouldnt even have a problem, be so much better, so much easier. We believe that politicians who put criminal aliens before american citizens, should be voted out of office immediately. As we secure our borders, were also supporting the heroes who fight crime, serve our citizens and secure our states. Our brave men and brave women in blue, we love them. [applause] pres. Trump in my administrati administration, simple policy, we will protect those who protect us. You saw what i did with the military equipment, the excess equipment sitting all over the country in warehouses never to be used again and other administrations just didnt want to give it to the police. They said, it is too much protection, it looks too strong, it looks like military. Guess what . It is now being distributed all over to our police force. [applause] pres. Trump and it is better than they could ever buy, cant buy stuff like that. Today our love and prayers go out to the family of Slain Dallas Police officer santander, who last week was murdered in the line of duty, very, very close to this arena. We ask god to help the others who were wounded and they will recover, they will be better, they will be back, send our love. So important. Thank you. And we mourn together with the Dallas Police department, great police department, a police force that has lost too many heros and never lost its will to protect and to serve you. [applause] pres. Trump were also taking very strong action to secure and protect our most valuable resource, our children. [applause] pres. Trump all of us here today are deeply committed to School Safety, nothing is more important than protecting innocent lives and i will tell you wayne and chris and all of the people at the n. R. A. , we speak about it all the time, these are great people, these are great americans, these people have great hearts. They know what they are doing. Our entire nation was filled with shock and grief by the monstrous attack when a high school in parkland, florida, we mourn for the victims and families, gotten to know members of those families, these are incredible people. Our hearts break for every american who has suffered the horrors of these School Shootings. In the aftermath of the terrible attack, i met with survivors, parents of School Shooting victims at the white house. I was inspired like all of you were by their incredible courage. We agree it is not enough to simply take actions that make us feel like were making a difference, we must ensure that we actually make a difference. My administration has pursued strategy on community safety, were working to improve Early Warning systems so that when the police are called, when the community sees the red flag, which they saw in parkland all over the place, there has never been a case where more red flags have been shown, swift action is taken by the authorities, lawabiding gun owners want to keep firearms out of those who pose a danger to themselves and to others. We all want that. We all want that. [applause] pres. Trump i recently signed legislation that includes 2 billion to improve School Safety, including the funding for traping and metal detecters and mental health. Mental health is a big one, they dont like to talk about mental health, that was the number one example. That legislation made vital improvement to background check system, which everybody wants. Finally, all of us agree that we must harden certain schools at the same time to police half to be able to get into those schools if theres a problem. We want armed guards. We want to be able to get him. I saw some of the craziest plans that ive ever seen. You can spend a fortune, you will spend so much, nobody knows more about construction than i do. You will spend so much, make it so hard that you cant run a d. H. , you know what that is, right . Through the doors, means a tractor. Only one problem, if one of these maniacs gets in and it is so hard you cant get in, you have to be careful. We strongly believe in allowing highly trained teachers to carry concealed weapons, theyre highly trained. [applause] pres. Trump and we want highly trained security guards. 98 of mass public shootings have occurred in places where guns are banned, just so you understand. Tragically, as we see, there is no sign more inviting to a mass killing than a sign that declared this school is a gunfree zone. Come in and take us. 98 . You know theyre cowards, you saw that in the receipt case, where he did all of his damage and sort of slinked out of the school and the Police Outside caught him in a different community. That policeman did a good job, caught him in a different community. But they are cowards. When they know there are guns inside, they are not going in. We just dont understand that, we cant get that word out. But highly trained people, at the same time, there is no stronger deterrent for sick individual than the knowledge that their attack will end their life and will end in total failure. When they know that, theyre not going in. Youre not going to have school attacks. We support the Second Amendment. Not only because we believe in freedom, but also because we trust in everyday talented, wonderful people. They love our students. [applause] and by the way, these teachers, they love their students, they love their students. They understand their students. They love their students and they are not going to let anybody hurt their students. But you have to give them a chance. In america, we trust the people to be wise and to be good. We trust them to take responsibility for themselves, their families and their communities and that is why in america we have always trusted the people to keep and bear arms. [applause] it is fitting that we gather today in the great state of texas, a place that cherishes their rights like no other. [applause] before i left today, couple of people came up to me, good political people. They said going to the n. R. A. Convention and speaking to them, that will be very controversial, it might not be popular. You know what i said . Byebye. Got to get on the plane. Because we have to do the right thing. [applause] we have to do the right thing. [applause] this proud state would not exist, if not for a handful of determined and defiant texans who refused to surrender their rights nearly two centuries ago. You know who im talking about . You know. In 1835, soldiers from general santa anas army marched into go gonzalez, to protect their lives and protect their homes. The texans refused. [applause] they were not about to give up their only means of selfdefense. In response, santa annas army returned with a large group of additional people. They had men all over the place, the army was big. This time they were met by dozens of texans, soldiers, settlers and ordinary citizens, who had rushed to gonzalez to defend their rights and freedom as santa anas men watched from a distance, brave texans raced the flag for all to see. You know what it said. On the banner, they painted a cannon, along with four words that echoed through the ages. You know what it is. It said come and take it. Come and take it. [applause] usa usa usa pres. Trump like those early texans, americans will never surrender, ever, ever, ever. We will never surrender. We will never give up our freedom. Americans are born free. We will live free and we will die free. [applause] pres. Trump so again, it is a great honor to be with very special people. We truly appreciate your support. Im doing the right thing. Im doing it for you, were doing the right thing. Were doing the right thing together. [applause] i want to thank again all of our friends and patriots from the n. R. A. , we will never fail and we will always protect your Second Amendment. Thank you. God bless you. God bless america. Thank you all. Thank you. [applause] President Trump wrapping up comments to the National Rifle association, the powerful lobbying group for gun manufacturers. He spoke in dallas about far more than the Second Amendment, hitting everything from poll numbers to the Robert Mueller investigation and saying, i love fighting these battles. He got in shoutout to kanye, attacked political opponents, including tester and stated democrats want guns outlawd and gave public support to texas senator ted cruz, whose wifes looks he once attacked while falsely claiming his father was involved in the assassination of j. F. K. Comments come months after he said the n. R. A. Has great power over congress and that lawmakers are afraid of the gun right lobby groups. Those words during a roundtable discussion about gun control and School Safety after the deadly high School Shooting in parkland, florida. Today, he headlined the n. R. A. s convention. Im Shepard Smith in new york. In washington, brandnew series of words presented for our consumption. Maybe Team Trump Just shifting strategies shifting again. Maybe theyre trying to confuse everybody. Certainly the undeniable chaos is definitely not chaos at all, they are clear on that point. What team trump said last month then changed last week, then reimagined again on tuesday, was revised and extended again this morning. And space under the bus is now at a premium. Rudy giuliani found himself wedged there today when the president said his lawyer still has to get his facts straight on payments to the porn star. Pres. Trump when rudy made the statement, rude segreat. Rudy had just started and wasnt totally familiar with everything and rudy, we love rudy, hes a special guy, but when he made certain statements, he just started yesterday, so thats it. Shepard just started yesterday, thats not true. Just weeks ago President Trump denied knowing anything about the hush money his personal lawyer gave to the porn star so shed keep quiet about the sexual relationship she claims she had the president. Giuliani flipped the script a couple days ago and gave interviews to fox and friends and sean hannity. Claimed President Trump reimbursed Michael Cohen for the hush payoff, but said no Campaign Money was involved. Rudy giuliani told the Washington Post that the payments happened last year. Now something new. Giuliani released a statement about an hour ago and said in it he wanted to clarify the views he expressed over the past few days, views clarification. He said, let this one sink in just in case this version lasts more than a few hours. Quoting giuliani, my references to timing were not describing my understanding of the president s knowledge, but my understanding of these matters. Again, my references to timing were not describing my understanding of the president s knowledge, but instead, my understanding of these matters. In other words, when he told hannity a fact he didnt already know, it wasnt a fact, but feeling of personal understanding and misunderstanding of the president s understanding of timing and understanding. Whether you prefer ranch or balsamicon the words, President Trump denies his own story has changed at all. The president also told reporters he would love to speak with special counsel Robert Mueller, said it again and again, love to speak with him as part of the russia investigation and he would override his lawyers to do so under one condition. Only if hes sure he will be treated fairly. Peter with the news on the lawn. Peter. When i asked President Trump how rudy was doing, he did excuse giuliani, he is the new guy and doesnt know what is going on with the legal team. He teased the statement from giuliani we got and there is more to it. Giuliani is cleaning up the comment he made to sean hannity, President Trump reimbursed his lawyer Michael Cohen 130,000 so Stormy Daniels w
