FirstDraft - Speech: Donald Trump Holds a Political Rally in Bossier City, Louisiana

will replace this with a proofread transcript when complete.] Wow. Thank you very much. Hello, Louisiana. Hello, Louisiana. You know I happened to watch a football game

last weekend that was in a bad that wasn't too bad. Was it but I'm thrilled to be back in the beautiful bayou state, with thousands of hardworking American citizens who

believe in God, family and country, but I'm down for a reason this Saturday, the eyes of history, are looking upon. The great people of Louisiana saturday remembers

Saturday. You're gonna vote on Saturday, it's a close one and you're going to have a great Republican Governor. You know that we've got have a great that's going to bring

down the car insurance and bring down your taxes. If you want to defend your values, your jobs and your freedom, then you need to replace radical, liberal John Bel Edwards

with a true Louisiana patriot, Eddie Rispone. Eddie Rispone. Great guy, loves you back in two days. I really need you, but you really need you to send a message to the

corrupt two Democrats in Washington. They are corrupt, they are crazy. They are crazy, that you're not going to let them destroy our country and rob your children of their

future. You have to let them know it. So after you come back because duck hunting is early, see they almost got me on that one. They almost got me. Those people in New

York almost got me on that one. But after you come back, you can leave real early, then you're going to come back. You have to go and vote and then go to the game and have

a lot of fun. But you got to vote on Saturday got a vote on Saturday under Republican leadership. Our nation's economy is booming, wages are rising, confidence is soaring,

liberty is thriving, and America is stronger than ever before. We are supporting our police and rebuilding our military, including $1 billion to totally revamp the

legendary B-52 bombers, like those at Barksdale Air Force Base. Barksdale. We like Barksdale right, we've totally rebuilt our military, we're rebuilding everything our

country is respected again, with the awesome strength of the American warrior. We are defeating radical Islamic terrorism and the bloodthirsty savage known as al Baghdadi

is dead and so important, our rebuilt military. We can say with total confidence, not that we ever want to do this, but our enemies don't stand a chance against the power

of the United States. No America is winning again like never before, and America is respected, again respected at the highest levels. Every country that comes to see me

they respect our country again, but while we are creating jobs and killing terrorists, the radical left Democrats is ripping our country apart they're, trying to overthrow

American democracy and erase the votes of tens of millions of Americans. First. There was the Russia hoax, then it was the Muller witch hunt. You remember that one so far,

much more than 100 percent because it goes before the election ever took place. We've been going through this from before the election took place, a bunch of bad people,

and then one of the single greatest lies ever told by anybody in this government that I think one of the great scandals right from the beginning. All of the things that

they've been doing and now the absolutely crazed lunatics the Democrats, radical left and their media partners standing right back here - are Pushing the deranged

impeachment witch hunt for doing nothing wrong, doing nothing wrong. You know we did nothing wrong and they are doing nothing. They haven't done anything since Nancy

Pelosi. Is They haven't done a thing, but once again their lies will be exposed. Just like the last times their schemes are already unraveling. You saw yesterday how about

when they ask these two: never tempers. What exactly do you think you impeach him for and they stood there went like what but they're unraveling and their sinister plans

will fail. They've already failed as far as I'm concerned, in fact, so as I'm getting out of that beautiful airplane Air Force, One, it is a beautiful plane. This just

came out big story, new remarks. From top Ukrainian official damages democrats, impeachment narrative just came out. I only read it because they don't like to report

stories like this. You know, because we're fighting the Democrats but much more difficult to fight is the fake news. I'm telling you and they're a partnership. I call them

a partnership made in hell here. It is Ukrainian foreign minister said on Thursday, listen to this the and they won't even want to report it step because it ends it.

Didn't it it's all about that Ukrainian foreign minister said on Thursday that the United States ambassador did not link financial military assistance to a request for

Ukraine to open up an investigation into former vice president and current Democratic project. Can you believe like we need help to beat sleepy Joe Biden? I don't think

so. You know last election by the way I hate to say this, but now I have a lot of experience whose experience is important, but talent is more important than experience

right, but I had no experience. Last election we took down the Bush dynasty with no experience. Bush dynasty, we took down the Clinton dynasty applause. Then we took down

the very crooked obama group, so we took down Bush clinton obama with no experience, but I had you and we won so think about that and then think about me gee. Let's get

some help from Ukraine in order to beat slippy Joe Biden. I don't think so so just to finish this up. So there was nothing, no leak, no, nothing. Two presidential

candidates sleepy Joe Biden - I edit the words slightly because this is a serious deal here at his son Hunter Biden - hunter Where's Hunter. What happened on, I think he

made more money than anybody in history for somebody with absolutely no talent or experience he's number one in the world. Ok, the ambassador did not tell us, and

certainly did not tell me about a connection between the assistance and the investigation. Never said, in other words, nothing happened. I have never seen a direct

relationship between the investigations and security assistance, so they have said now nothing happened, and yet you don't even read this not only came out a little while

ago. In all fairness, I'll give him a chance. Can you report this tonight and tomorrow please so if Pelosi were honest which is not, and if shifty Schiff little, or shifty

Schiff got the little, little 10 inch neck? What size shirts do you need out of might wear size? 9? 9. He will not make the LSU football team that I can judge for, and the

neck is gone now, he's a bad guys, a dishonest guy he's the guy that went up and fabricated a whole story and read what I supposedly said to the new and very good. I think

new ukrainian president and Adam shifty Schiff went up and he made up think of it. He made up my statement and it was horrible what he said and he finished it by saying

you don't call me I'll call you I said: where did this come from? He's sick he's sick, but then one thing happened. Here's what happened! You know what happened. I said I

better release the real call, so they had transcribers. The call is perfect and we released it, and that was the beginning of the end for them they are disgraced now found

that Justice. Honestly and honestly, they hurt our country incredibly badly, because I don't like releasing calls with other presidents and prime ministers. You don't like

to do that. You don't want to do that, but you had to because he totally fabricated he made up. He made up. My conversation. He's a thief he's a crook and you know what

he's a corrupt politician and frankly, he should be prosecuted. The only problem is, he has immunity because he's a congressman and he made the statement in the halls of

Congress. He made the statement he made the statement while in that great beautiful building, so therefore he has immunity, so he can be crooked as hell. In the meantime,

they gave the Republicans who, by the way, have really stuck together. It's a beautiful thing to see. So we don't have rights to lawyers, we don't have rights to anything.

We don't have rights to it's the most incredible thing, but you know what, by them being so ridiculous people see, we've been taking away. Our due process has been taken

away, but here's what we have we have truth. We have the fact that everything is absolutely perfect, perfect and based on the poll numbers and other numbers, but based on

the poll numbers the people of this country aren't buying it. You see it because we're going up and they're going down, let's keep it going for a while, let's keep it

going for a while. I mean I have one problem. I have one problem and it has been: it's been very hard on my family. Whoever heard impeachment to me is a dirty word. It's

been very unfair, very hard on my family me. My whole life is crazy. Well, I a life. I lead. You think this is fun, don't you, but it's been very hard on my family very,

very hard, but I'll tell you what I found the Republicans they stick together for me they have really stuck, but you know what they're doing now the Republicans are

coming. Sir, our poll numbers are going through the roof. Do you think we could keep this going? I said: do me a favor? Let's get it ended, they said, but let's keep it

going. President, it's so great, because we've never had a time like this. I got a call from the evangelical leaders the other day, a whole lot of them. They said the

church has never been more energized, as it is right now because of what they're trying to do to our President ever so. We have a great group of Republicans, but I said

you know fellows, I don't know, but they actually said. Let's keep this sucker going for a while. Mr. President, I said that or something nice about ending it, but it's

dirty stuff. But let me just say with this from the Ukrainian front right here from the Ukrainian president and the Ukrainian foreign minister. This is the whole ballgame,

so in theory they should end it tonight, but they won't they'll find something they'll find something. These are very dishonest people. Democrats are trying to overthrow

the last election because they know they're not going to win the next election. That's all and never forget the Democrat. The Democrats in Washington are trying to stop me

because I'm fighting for you fighting they're attacking and they don't that's what he just said. They don't care about us who said that raise your hand, that's right. They

don't they don't care and they don't care about African-Americans. They talk, they work for the African-American very hard two months before an election, and then people

don't hear from him anymore. I remember when I said What the hell you have to lose remember that they said that they saw that, and you know what happened. We have the best

employment numbers and the best unemployment numbers in the history of our country, records and they're attacking me and they're attacking the rubber Republican Party.

Really it's an attack on the whole party because I'm taking on the broken establishment and restoring government's loyalty to the people. If you want to see what

corruption looks like just watch the video of sleepy Joe and watch him as he brags about withholding a billion dollars in aid money to Ukraine until Ukraine, fires, the

prosecutors, gets rid of the prosecutor, that's been going after his son and His son's company in Ukraine, his son, got millions of dollars from a company, see how much he

made before the father was vice president. So no experience, no nothing. Millions of dollars paid approximately one hundred sixty $8,000 a month, plus millions of dollars

with no expense. Would anybody here take that job? I think so I think so. I think I might take that job. Ok, that's a good job and then Hunter flew to China. You know

we're making a great deal with China or we're taking in billions in tariffs. I could live either way they want to make the deal much more than I did, but he flew to China

with his father when Air Force 2, which is a slightly smaller version of Air Force One and while the vice president was going soft on China, his son picks up $1.5 billion

for his stupid fund that he never did before, meaning he could make tens of millions of dollars a year, and I was with the top Wall Street people the other day. They love

us because we're setting records every week virtually on this island so which, by the way, means companies coming in and jobs jobs, jobs, that's what it's about, but I was

with the top guys that I was talking to and these guys that do this. For a living I said, can you go into China and pick up 1.5 billion in ten minutes, they said

impossible, I said. Well, supposing like you guys, can you do it can't do it can't do it, but a guy with no experience can do it and the fake news does he want to write

about it, but it will become a major campaign issue. It will become, it will become a major campaign issue. Americans deserve assuming he wins, which I hope he does. I

mean the only problem is, we will have the lowest ratings in the history of debates, because he's a very sleepy person he's exhausted joe is exhausted. Tired Americans

deserve to know the truth, but the fake news, media they're, covering it up like they've, never covered it up before ever in the history of our country fact, I saw a

report today. We kill al Baghdadi, the worst terrorist head of ISIS, founder of ISIS building a new ISIS. We were the ones that took 100 percent of the caliphate when I

took it over ISIS was all over the place. We defeated one hundred percent of the caliphate right when, when we took down Al Baghdadi two weeks ago, they said President

Trump out of the stories written had 64 percent bad publicity. How do you get bad publicity? Not only that we kill them, we didn't lose one of our 68. Incredibly talented

and the fake is gave me bad publicity. We can't win the other thing. One of the papers, the Washington Post, which is a terrible newspaper, started talking about al

Baghdadi as a great religious leader. I'll give me a if the other side were to kill them. He would have been the worst human being ever created, but he was a bad guy and

we got him and that's the way we want it. That's why we are more determined than ever to drain the swamp and that's what we're doing draining the swamp. Washington

Democrats have declared war on your values and the values of a great great place called Louisiana. Have you ever heard of so in two days you can show the far left

Democrats that you won't stand for their socialism and their corruption. You know you for one case it through the roof right. You know that sincerely. If you want to see

him, go down start voting Democrat you'll, see him cut in half you'll, see him cut a lot further than that on Saturday. You need to fire. Your far left Governor again, he

talks, but he won't be there when it needs a vote, because when Pelosi and all of these characters from Washington call them up Schumer How about Chuck crying, I call him

crying Chuck, because I saw him cry one time while making His speech, I said, Isn't that said: I've never seen him cry before I go home, crying Chuck, cryin', Chuck little

your stuff, you know little and you have a chance to elect a true Louisiana champion. Eddie Rispone to a real success by gotta get out. You gotta get out, you know in in

Mississippi. Two weeks ago we had a tremendous success. We elected a Governor. He won by much more than anticipated, really good guy and everybody down the ticket elected

by more than people thought. In Kentucky we elected everybody. The Governor got brought up in a few short days, 19 points. I went we made a speech. The whole ticket was

there, everybody won big Governors are really good guy, but 19 points is a big thing and he lost by just a few thousand votes in the headlines. The next day trump took a

loss. I lift him up. A lot so Trump took a loss, so you got to give me a big win. Please, oK! Ok! Now he made a lot of hard decisions and he didn't win, but we brought him

up a lot and the rest of Kentucky I'll. Tell you what they had record record numbers, but Eddie Rispone, you have to understand - is pro family pro-life pro Second

Amendment and 100 percent pro American, so I've known Eddie for a long time. But you know you have to know a little background. He was a very, very successful. Guy made a

lot of money, he went against a phenomenally, talented and a wonderful human being. We all know Ralph and love Ralph, and I'm gonna bring Ralph up here in a second Eddie

agro. They want criminal aliens off our streets and dangerous offenders behind bars, and they want him behind bars and he's going to cut your taxes. You pay very high

taxes in case you haven't, noticed, reduce your regulations and protect Louisiana energy, which is under siege. If any of these other people get in, you know it's going to

happen, there won't be any energy will be. I don't know what the hell we're gonna be doing right. They don't want any petroleum product, they don't want coal, they

probably don't even want wind with the windmills. You know: try like a windmill when it's 50 feet away from your house and blowing and noisy and the birds are dropped all

over the place, not the great. We weren't responding by supporting any you will deliver a powerful rebuke to the socialists, trying to sabotage our democracy and to erase

your cherished way of life in Louisiana. And you really can you can send a tremendous message back to Washington because Ed is running against the failed? Far left man,

John Bel Edwards, I mean he's, he's failed. He has let you down so badly economic development, he's a tool of Nancy he's, a tool of Chuck he's, probably even a tool of

that guy, adam shifty chef. I don't think Chef plays very well down here, he's controlled by the same extremists who are pushing the impeachment witch hunt and John Bel

Edwards if he gets ever involved in that he's going to push it like hell and ice honestly, I didn't have to be done. All I do is make enemies, because if he wins I got

another enemy mean what the hell difference does it make. I have so many, but then I have an enemy in Louisiana. I don't want that and you need a Republican here.

Everyone's Republican, you need a Republicannot, a Democrat, it's one of the reasons he gets. Nothing done he's a chosen candidate. Think of this John Bel. He wants open

borders, he wants radical pro-abortion policies and he loves the fake news media. I hear they treat him great. They love him. You know why they love him because he does

what they want and what they want is exactly the opposite of what you want. We know that a vote for John Bel Edwards is a vote for radical leftists who despise your

values, hate your beliefs and want to crush the workers of the state you're doing lousy compared to others. Look. The whole country is doing great. We're having a great

great surge like we've. Never had in the history of our country is the strongest it's ever been, but you're ranked number 50 on economic development, so you're doing fine,

but you're not doing like you should be doing and that's after I gave you a $10 billion. I was down two months ago when the LNG plant on the Gulf, right, a $10 billion

plant, and now they want to expand it. It's doing so well. Edwards broke his solemn vow to the people of Louisiana when he rammed through the largest tax site. He went he

pushed through the largest tax hike in the history of your state. He lied to you, he double crossed you and you can never trust him. He will not vote for us. It's called

Make America Great Again. It's called Keep America Great and just to finish up, and I want to hit him strong because what the hell he hates me now I mean I don't know. I

don't think ever liked me, although he used to really be nice to me in person, used to go out and say I really like. I really liked the president, then he'd go inside and

say I don't like him at all, but just to finish up he's in the pocket of the trial lawyers who have sent your car insurance rate to the highest level anywhere in the

United States. Grace he allowed illegal aliens to steal millions of healthcare dollars from hardworking Louisiana families and John Bel Edwards supports illegal aliens,

not American citizens. It is pretty simple and here's another one that I hate to say because we don't want to hurt your state, but on John Bel Edwards watch Louisiana has

the highest murder rate in all of America. You know that, so on Saturday, your choice is clear: you've got to send a message back a vote for John Bel Edwards, your current

Governor, where your taxes are too high. Your car insurance is a disaster. Your unemployment, compared to other states, isn't great at all. You're fiftieth in economic

development and number one in murders, it's a vote for the Washington swamp. It's a vote for the Washington establishment, so one Saturday get out. That's the last thing

to do: get out and vote for Eddie Rispone who's for jobs, safety and freedom. So with that man, that was a long harangue, but I want to make I want to choose, I want to

put it in your head is very important, and you know what, even if John Bel wanted to do good, he can't he's got to go through all The Republicans that can't stand this

guy, so you got to vote for Eddie eddie. Can I ask Eddie to come on up and say a few words Eddie. Eddie Rispone. Get out and vote. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you for

being here Louisiana. We are Trump country. We love President Trump and he loves Louisiana. You might not know this, but this is the fourth time he's been to Louisiana. To

help us win back our state. He went to Alabama last weekend to help the LSU Tigers beat Bama. Now we have to now. We have to far our liberal tax and Spend socialist

leaning Governor John Bale Edwards John Bel Edwards has been. He is past. The highest tax in the history of Louisiana he's attacked the oil and gas industry where we've

lost thousands of jobs. He is released over a thousand dangerous criminals. He supports New Orleans as a sanctuary city and his he and his greedy trial lawyer friends.

They are causing us to have the second highest car insurance in America. We have to get rid of John Bel Edwards And we need your help, but this is bigger than Louisiana.

We have got to send a message to these liberal socialist Democrats in Washington that we support our president and we are not going to put up with all the lies that you're

calling out us on. This. Send a message to him and, like the president, just said: how do we send that message is that we elect me as your Governor and say that we are

going to fire John Bel and we're going to be back where we belong. We are red state, we're going to work with the conservatives, we're going to work with this president to

make no Louisiana number one in the South when it comes to jobs and opportunities for our children and grandchildren. So they can stay here, call Louisiana home. That's

what we here for folks. We want him to stay here, and what can you do? You can vote for me. Send a message to Washington turn our state around, but we're going to need

your help. We need to get out the vote. We need to tell our friends and families and everyone we know to get out and vote Saturday, so we can turn Louisiana around and in

support our president in 2020. God bless you. Great businessman, that's what you need. Thank you Eddie great job. Thank you. So we're also thrilled to be joined tonight by

many of your terrific Louisiana leaders, and I want to ask a few of these people to come up. I must well ask them all to come out, as you have the Warriors, all of them, a

man who knows more about the medical world than just about anybody. I know it helps that he's also a doctor, in addition to being a senator and he's a great man and a

great person, senator Bill Cassidy come on up Bill and a man who's become a great friend of mine, he's so tough and he's so smart. You know who I'm talking about and he's

got the greatest name. A very special guy went to Oxford. He went to Oxford. You know what that means. That means good. That means you're very good, but he's an incredible

guy and he loves his state. John Kennedy. Senator John Kerry - and I think what we'll do is we'll have some of our incredible warriors - come up also right, because we

have a man that you never heard up before he's the toughest guy. He got hit hard. He got hit hard and you know when they had him out at second base less than a year after

he couldn't move to. Well, he didn't have a big range. I tell the story: he was in the big stadium and they were playing the Democrats of all people and the first pitch. A

hard shot was hit to the second baseman and that ball was hit hard, and I said Oh, this is a disaster and Steve got down Steve Scalise said he caught that ball and he

threw that ball to first base that he came off to a hero's. Welcome steve Scully, it's come up see. I went to the hospital with the first lady, the night that he was hit

and he wasn't looking too good. The doctor said not looking good sir, and he wasn't and I told him one thing: I learned that night, your wife loves you because she was

crying. You know. I've done many wives that weren't trying in those cases, but I said Steve, your wife is in love with you man, but you got better fast and we love you

he's a great guy and another brave man and a highly respected man and a man who gave Eddie, a hell of a fight that was close and they've developed a real relationship and

a respect for each other when the campaign trail - and it was a nasty campaign but not really nasty enough, because Ralph respects Eddie a lot and Eddie respects Ralph a

lot. And I want to ask Ralph Abraham, please come up Ralph. Congressman, and I want Garret Graves come on up here. Garrett. Clay Higgins, your great Congressman Mike

Johnson. These are all incredible, Mike Johnson, great man, great people, your former Congressman John Fleming, your state's Attorney General, Jeff Landry state, Treasurer

John Schroeder, come on up come on John, you got to say. And we can't forget our Secretary of State who's also on the ballot card. Well hello Louisiana Hello Shreveport

Hello Bossier City. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, president Trump for visiting our state. Yet again I stand before you to night. I stand before you to night as a proud

deplorable and, unlike unlike some of the folks in Washington D.C..I'm talking about the cultured cosmopolitan goat's milk latte drinking advocate avocado toast eating

insiders latte as the deplorable. I believe that every body counts. I care about. You, and so does the president of the United States of America go vote Saturday. Let's

listen to me: unless you're happy with crappy vote for Eddie Rispone for Governor. Unless, unless you're happy with crappy, vote for Kyle Ardoin for Secretary of State.

Unless you're happy with crappy vote for Robert Mills for the state senate. God bless America. God bless our president and God bless the state of Louisiana. Now you know

I'm a little confused tonight and I want to make sure the record is straight now: I'm gonna give you a choice. You know the president's been speaking as if he might run

against Joe Biden, so so so let me ask you, who do you think is more pro military, Joe Biden or Donald and who do you think is going to protect your second amendment

rights, Joe Biden or Donald and who do you think who do you think uh who do you think is going to protect your borders? Now there is one question: there is one question:

you're Joe Biden to that would be who's going to vote for our incumbent Governor, but if he was a resident of our state who would vote for and he responded Joe Biden or

Donald now, we need not just You to vote for for Eddie Rispone, but we also need you to get your neighbor and your neighbors neighbor. This is gonna be a close election.

This could be decided by 1,000 votes in the entire state you're going to make a difference if you vote and if you get your friend to vote and if you get your friend's

friend to vote and if you get your girlfriend to vote your boyfriend to vote And if you do that and Eddie Rispone, he gets elected, do you know where they're gonna credit,

they're gonna credit, Donald Trump, and they're also gonna credit you. Thank you. Thank you Bill. Thank you, John. I want to bring up a man who has shown a lot he's

incredible, so respected in Congress, so respected by me and he's become a real friend and they're all war is this. Guy, though, has been something very special. He ran a

tough tough campaign. I would say he had a little less money to spend than that, but that's OK and it was tight and now he's a thousand percent for Eddie and Ralph. Could

you come up? Ralph Abraham come up and say. Thank you so much. Well, thank you President Trump for making America great again without a President Trump or was allowing me

to ride with him on Air Force, One to get away from that insanity, Pelosi and Schiff and, Mr. President, thank you so much for doing the United States, Mexico and Canada

agreement. Thank you for taking care of our military. Thank you for taking care of our law enforcement and Pelosi will not allow us to vote on that in the United States

Congress. This great president has got our backs, but Pelosi won't. Let us vote on that now. Mr. President, Mr. President, in Louisiana we know what horse manure looks

like, and we know that this impeachment inquiry is a trunk full of it, and we know that Pelosi and Adam Shields are up to their necks in it. And I've got a new theme song

for Adam Shields: it's Marvin Gaye's. We heard it through the grapevine because there is no direct conversation except between you and President Zelinsky, and you said it,

Mr trump. They can't beat you at the polls so they're trying to overturn our vote in the last election. We're not going to let that happen. We also said President. Thank

you, Mr. President, for pointing out that we are last an economy. We are last in jobs. We are last and murder everything that we should be first in Louisiana, we're dead

last. We are much better than that and while the Democrats are trying to convince us that three makes a couple, I don't have any idea what a throughput is, but that's what

they're telling us that three makes to this great man is working for us every day of The week so we appreciate you, Mr. President, and and with and in Louisiana, we know

we know that we have the most fertile farmland. We have oil and gas industry that will rival most countries and we have our wonderful peoples whose ingenuity is second to

none. We are not going to be fooled again, Mr. President, go out and vote Saturday vote for Eddie and let's get this thing done. Thank you, they're great people. Thank you

all very much now tell me something to Thursday night, because we didn't want to interrupt your high school football right. We didn't want to interrupt other things that

you were doing. I always liked Friday night for these things, but I'll tell you what this is some Thursday night. Would you rather be anyplace else than a Trump ballot

right, a truck rally on Thursday night now, but with the help of everyone here tonight America is booming like never before we created 6.7 million new jobs, unemployment

recently reached the lowest rate in over 50 Years, think of that half a century African-American unemployment just reached its lowest rate ever recorded history. Hispanic

American Asian American unemployment have also recently hit the lowest rates in the history of our country. African-American, poverty has reached the lowest rate in the

history of our country. Nearly 2.5 million people have risen out of poverty. The number of Americans quitting the job they hate to take. A new job is higher than ever

before. You go out get another job. You are not stuck in a job, you don't want and you get more money when you go out. Sometimes that hasn't happened in many many decades.

After years of painful stagnation and decline, wages and incomes are rising at one of the fastest rates in history. Real wages for low income workers have gone up nearly 9

percent average median income under President Bush, as an example rose only four hundred dollars over an eight year period, $400 over eight years under President Obama, it

rose only nine hundred and seventy five dollars Over eight years and under your favorite president, it rose $5,000 in just two and a half years. In addition, in our case

to the 5,000, we can add another $5,000 in savings from tax cuts, regulation cuts and energy production and energy costs. So when you add it up, it went up for one hundred

dollars for President Bush, nine hundred and seventy five dollars under President Obama. Those are eight years and eight years, and just a little more than two and a half

years, it went up $10,000 under President George Bush. That's pretty good. Those are tough numbers to beat we're boldly adopting a policy of American energy independence,

which is great for your state, in particular. Texas happens to be pretty happy also, and you know what North Dakota Dakota's not too unhappy. We got a lot of states that

are very happy. America is now the number one producer of oil and natural gas anywhere in the world. Meanwhile, the far left Democrats in Washington want to abolish the

production of oil and natural gas. How do you like that idea? How about this clown better? He was against guns, religion and oil and he lives in Texas. That's not going to

work! Somebody call him and explain that wasn't a good idea. Well, you know the Democrats want to raise your taxes. My whole life. It was the politician that could lower

taxes. We gave you the biggest tax decrease in the history of our country, and that was always a good thing. They want to raise your taxes and I'm trying to figure out,

because I've been doing this for a lot shorter time than most of them, trying to figure out. How does that work? We're gonna raise your taxes. Is that a good thing? I

don't think so. I don't think so. No, your taxes are going down still further. What do you say so far? We haven't found a form of energy, that's acceptable to the left. We

have nothing to gain no jobs, no energy, no nothing close down every business in the country, we're ending decades of ruinous trade policies that cause this state, one in

four manufacturing jobs and the numbers are actually higher than that weak leaders and corrupt politicians sold you Out they let other countries plunder our factories and

steal the crown jewels of your economy. Past administrations financed the rise of China. They had no idea what the hell they were doing on the backs of the American middle

class, but under this administration the great betrayal is over. We are fighting for our workers, our families, our communities and our great American dream. We're

fighting for our American we're replacing the NAFTA catastrophe, one of the worst trade deals in history with the U.S.-Mexico-Canada agreement USMCA. If we could only get

Pelosi to do something she's not doing it, she sits around and should have been approved months ago. That's a huge win and by the way all the Democrats want it, everybody

wants it, but she doesn't want to put it up for a vote. She's too busy doing other things. It's a huge win for Louisiana farmers and manufacturers. Pelosi and the

Democrats need to stop their ridiculous witch hunts and pass the USMCA because we have a country to run and they want to get back to running it. Before my election, our

leaders used the great American middle class as a piggy bank to fund their delusional global projects. We took care of nations all over the world nations you never even

heard of. They decimated American manufacturing to promote economic growth in foreign countries. They used our military to defend the immensely wealthy nations,

subsidizing their welfare states with your money and they poured precious American blood and treasure into the Middle East, while our cities fell into decay and disrepair.

But I was elected to be president of the United States not to be president of the world after years of rebuilding other nations, we are finally rebuilding our nation. We

are finally putting America first and that's. What's happening, past leaders transform faraway nations into chaotic war zones, then they demanded that the Americans accept

unlimited migration to protect our families and block migration from some of the world's most dangerous places. I implemented something that some people loved some people

didn't like. It's called excuse me, a travel ban and it was recently voted on very favorably in a thing called the United States Supreme Court, which held totally

constitutional, and we are now keeping terrorists, criminals and violent extremists, the hell out of our country or know you have Democrat Politicians more totally

betrayed you than on immigration. The radical Democrats, open border agenda, invites deadly drugs, vicious gangs and dangerous criminals to pour into your communities.

Your neighborhoods, your state right here in Louisiana. Our brave ice officers have arrested criminal aliens charged or wanted for murder, manslaughter sexual battery,

assault fraud, forgery, malicious bodily injury, drug dealing, possession of stolen weapons and child abuse all across America. We're finding that criminal, illegal aliens

and getting them out by the thousands - and that includes MS-13, we're getting them out by the thousands, and I want to thank our border patrol. I want to thank ice and I

want to thank law enforcement. Their incredible we've launched historic and unprecedented action to secure our southern border. We have just released brand new border

numbers today, showing that we have successfully reduced illegal crossings by more than 70 percent since May, and I can proudly announced that we have ended catch and

release and we are building the wall faster than anyone thought possible. It's being built on up good and it's it's a big deal and I'll tell you what this we had to fight

for every inch. We have the help of our military, because it is it's national security. Let's face it, it turned out it's national security. Our message to those seeking

to break our laws is very simple: don't try it, you will fail, you will be sent back home, that's the way it works, and if you want a Governor who supports that theory, if

you want a Governor who supports what we're doing On the border and supports the heroes of ICE and Border Patrol, you have only one choice and that's to get out on

Saturday and vote for Eddie Rispone you have to Democrats are becoming more and more extreme by the day. Their planned government takeover of health care would deny you

the coverage you need, and the doctor that you want. My administration will always protect patients with pre-existing conditions, and we will also protect your pre

existing physicians. How about that? Virtually every top Democrat also now supports late term abortion ripping babies straight from the mother's womb right up until the

moment, and that is why I've asked Congress to prohibit extreme late term abortion, because Republicans believe that every child is a sacred gift from God. Democrats are

now the party of high taxes, high crime, open borders, late term, abortion, socialism and blatant corruption that corrupt the Republican Party is the party of the American

worker, the American family and the American dream. We've appointed more than 160 federal judges it'll be very soon. One hundred and eighty two, including court of

Appeals, judges and they will interpret the Constitution as written, including our two great Supreme Court justices, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, and we've invested

over two trillion dollars in our military you're, a big beneficiary. This state, with better ships, airplanes bombers, tanks, ammunition missiles rockets better than ever

before, all built in the USA. I withdrew from the horrible one sided Iran nuclear deal. I recognized Israel's true capital and opened the American embassy in Jerusalem and

we have recognized Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights. For years you watched as your politicians apologized for America. Now you have a president who is standing

up for America and we are standing up for the people of Louisiana. The next step to victory begins on Saturday. Your vote on Saturday is your chance to show the radical

left Washington Democrats that Louisiana rejects their extremism and their corruption. You will not allow your voice to be silenced. You will not allow your vote to be

canceled. You will not allow your country to be demolished, which is what would happen if they get in, and you've already got a little headstart because you have one lousy

Governor here. That's why you need to get your friends get your family, get your neighbors and get out to vote for Eddie. You have to do it saturday. With your help, we

will lift millions more of our citizens from welfare to work dependence to independence and poverty to prosperity. Together, we will elect a Republican Congress. We have

to do that. Please get rid of these maniacs. These are maniacs to create a fair, safe, sane and lawful system of immigration. We will enact trade deals that result in more

products proudly stamped with that beautiful term made in the USA. We will achieve new breakthroughs in science and medicine. Finding new cures for childhood cancer and

ending the AIDS epidemic in America within 10 years we've started that whole process. Who would have thought that could have happened? We will defend privacy, free speech,

free assembly, religious liberty and the right to keep and bear arms. Above all, we will never stop fighting for the sacred values that bind us together. As one America,

we love our country, we love our country, we love our country, we support, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. We stand with the incredible heroes of

law enforcement, we believe in the dignity of work and the sanctity of life. We believe that faith and family, not government and bureaucracy, are the true American way.

We believe that children should be taught to love our country honor. Our history and to always respect our great American flag and we live by the words and there'll,

always be those words as long as I'm here and hopefully for a long time for ever the words of our national motto. In God We Trust we stand on the shoulders of American

patriots who cross the oceans settle a continent tame the wilderness, revolutionized industry, pioneered sciences won two World. Wars, defeated fascism and communism and

made America the greatest nation in the history of the world, and we are making it greater than ever before. That's what's happening right now, proud and incredible.

Citizens like you, helped build this country and together we are taking back our country. We are returning power to you, the American people, that's what this is all

about. With your help, your devotion and your drive, we are going to keep on working, we are going to keep on fighting and we are going to keep on winning winning winning.

We are one movement, one people, one family and one glorious nation under God, America is thriving like never before and, ladies and gentlemen of Louisiana, the best is

yet to come. Together we will make America wealthy again. We will make America strong against already happening. We will make America proud again, that's happening, we

will make America safe again and we will make America great again. Thank you. Thank you very much Louisiana. Thank you.
