do we continue on the road to prosperity? or do we turn back to obama stagnation? [booing] do we defend freedom? [cheering] or do we give into tyranny? [booing] do we embrace jobs? [cheering] or do we give into mobs? [booing] here in texas, the united states senate race provides the clearest contrast of any race in the country and 2018. we have had a couple of debates. distinction as anyone could hope for. on every issue. , i'm proud to have worked hand-in-hand with president trump to pass the

biggest tax cut in a generation. [cheering] we cut taxes on small businesses on small businesses and ranchers throughout the state of texas. that o'rourke wants higher taxes. [booing] cut,voted against the tax he voted repeatedly in favor of .igher property taxes in el paso, he even voted for something called a rain tax. [booing] i don't even know what that is! but here in texas, we celebrate when it rains, we don't tax you for it! [cheering]

i'm proud to have worked with president trump to repeal job killing regulations that were hammering texas. [cheering] supports higher regulations hammering oil and gas, hammering the state of texas. devoted on a tax -- he voted on oil inn every barrel of the state of tax. that is a terrific vote if you want to raise money in san francisco, but that is a terrible vote if you care about jobs in the great state of texas. [cheering] because there are millions of jobs in the state of texas that depends on a vibrant oil and gas

industry and energy industry voting in the state of texas. [cheering] and the combination of the tax cuts and cutting job killing regulation, the economy in texas is booming. [cheering] we are producing 33% more oil than we did in 2016. we have the lowest unemployment nationally in 49 years. [cheering] we have the lowest african-american unemployment that has ever been recorded. [cheering] we have the lowest hispanic

unemployment that has ever been recorded. [cheering] we have the lowest asian-american unemployment that has ever been recorded. [cheering] we have a whole lot of young people here tonight. we have the lowest unemployment for young people in 52 years. look across the toyota center where we are used to seeing our rockets when and by the way, they are going all the way this year -- [cheering] this is houston! this is texas! this is the diversity of our city and state! we want jobs, we want freedom, we want opportunity and we are

delivering all of those. [cheering] there.getting we are getting there. on the second amendment -- [cheering] i'm for it. beto is against it! [booing] beto tweeted out to the world how proud he is to have an f rating from the nra. not a d-. i promptly retweeted him. elections are about choices. if you want a big government gun grabbing liberal, the democrats are giving you one. , today, the united states embassy is in jerusalem,

the once and eternal capital of israel. [cheering] president trump made the bold, courageous, right decision to move the embassy and i was proud to be in jerusalem for the opening of the embassy on the 70th anniversary of the creation of the modern state of israel. o'rourke has the most anti-israel record of any democratic senate nominee in the country. when hamas was raining rockets bet was oneel, eight members of the house of representatives against funding the iron dome missile defense system. [doing] virtually every republican voted yes.

virtually every democrat voted yes. nancy pelosi voted yes. [booing] maxine waters voted yes. [booing] o'rourke voted no and would not stand with the people of israel. [booing] on judges, i'm proud to have helped lead the effort to confirm justice neil gorsuch. [cheering] and justice breyer kavanaugh! [cheering] >> usa, usa, usa!

>> and for everyone of us who cares about the constitution, the bill of rights, free speech, and religious liberty and the second amendment and the 10th amendment rights for the federal government to leave us the hell alone! [cheering] those judges matter. and for the record, i am not spartacus. but you can be sure if beto in the senate,en he would have put on the toga and started the spartacus circus. on immigration, there is no race in the country with a stark divide on immigration then this u.s. senate race in the state of texas. i'm honored to have the formal endorsement of the

national border patrol council, the union of the men and women who risk their lives keeping the border safe and protecting our country. we need to build the wall. [cheering] >> build the wall, built the wall, build wall! [senator cruz laughing] [cheering] >> so, this is texas! beto says we have too many border walls and fences already. we need to tear down the border walls we already have. he supports sanctuary cities. and he has said he is "open to abolishing ice."

[booing] radical, that is reckless, and that is not the state of texas. bet o'rourkeo is the only seminar many -- senate nominee in the country to come out explicitly for impeaching donald trump. [booing] he said he would vote right now today to impeach president trump. is running to the left of elizabeth warren, bernie sanders, and the state of texas is not going to stand for it. in texas, we support law enforcement. [cheering] in texas, we support our

veterans. [cheering] texas, we stand for the national anthem and we have a hand over our hearts and we salute if we are in uniform. [cheering] that is who we are. i'm going to make a prediction, in 2020, donald trump will be overwhelmingly reelected as president of the united states. [cheering] i'm honored that president trump is here endorsing and supporting my campaign and i look forward to campaigning alongside him in 2020 for his reelection as president of the united states. [cheering]

it is a great privilege now to have the opportunity to give to you the 45th president of the united states. [cheering] a man who has presided over record jobs, record unemployment , the president of the united states, president donald j. trump! [raucous cheering] ♪

[raucous cheering and applause] ♪

♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] president trump: wow! "usa!"]hanting

pres. trump: do we have a great country or what? great country. hello, houston. , wererilled to be back you treated me very well during a certain election two years ago. with all my friends from the ,one star state, a special special place. thank you very much for being here. this is some record crowd. and they just told me we broke the record, but we would really break it if we can get all the people outside in here. we would break it three times.

say, true what they everything in texas is just bigger. [cheering] pres. trump: bigger. in just 15 days, the people of texas are going to reelect a man who has become a really good friend of mine. you know, we had are really little difficulties. at the beginning, it was a lovefest. the fake news back here -- [booing] remember they kept saying when is it going to break up? we had a rally in washington dc together and nobody could believe it. they said what is going on? what are you doing. andad the rally together send it got nasty.

and then it ended. and i will tell you, nobody has helped me more with your tax cuts, with your regulation, with all of the things that we are doing including military and the vets then senator ted cruz. nobody. he defended your jobs. he defended your borders. we are defending the order, by the way. in case you haven't noticed.

we are defending the border. he defends your families. we are defending together, with a lot of other great republicans, your freedom. [cheering] early voting is underway. get out there and vote. if you would like to leave now, go ahead. go vote and come back. get behind 50,000 people. the big screens out for them. let's waved to them. wave. [cheering] you got a better location. ted is leading congress for more tax cuts. i just left kevin brady. how great is kevin brady? [cheering] he is here. we are putting a 10% tax cut for middle income families. it is going to be put in next quarter. 10% tax cut. kevin brady is working on it. we have been working on it for a few months. that is in addition to the big tax cuts you have already gotten. this one is for middle income. no business. business is good and they are coming back and jobs are coming back. plants and factories are coming back like never before.

this is for middle income people. 10%. [cheering] the democrats -- i can't speak, i'm sorry. instead of a tax cut, a tax raise, they are for open borders, meaning crime and massive tax cuts. they are against law enforcement, against ice. they are against the military and they are not good to veterans. how do you win on that platform? we have done the biggest regulation cuts in the history of the country. i am only here for almost two years, less than two years, if

you think about it. we have already done more tax cuts and more regulation cuts than any other president in the history of it there for years. 12 years. we want people to come into our country. we have 3.7% unemployment but they have to come and legally and they have to come in through merit. [cheering] [chanting build the wall] that is happening.

we started the wall. they have another billion six and a third billion six. what is happening right now is a caravan. [booing] do you know how the caravan started? the democrats had something to do with it. they are saying, i think we made a big mistake. people are seeing how bad it is, how pathetic it is, how that our laws are. that is an assault on our country. [cheering] in the caravan are some very bad people. we cannot let that happen to our country.

i was just talking to your governor and senator and attorney general, who i will be introducing. a lot of your people are going to form a wall, a different kind, until we get it built. we need a wall built fast. we have to protect our border. if we do not have borders, we do not have a country. ted, you probably saw, did a beautiful job in staring down an angry left wing mob in our recent supreme court battle victory. [cheering] he was great. thanks to ted, and other great republicans. we had no help from the other side.

we have a brand-new member of the united states supreme court, justice brett kavanaugh. [cheering] also, this is an honor because you have had many presidents and they never get to put a justice on this in. the story of our lives. i have been there less than two years and i have two of them. because we also have a fantastic new justice and neil gorsuch. just confirmed. we have a record number of circuit court judges. [cheering] we fully expect that to go to an all-time record.

percentagewise it is up there. percentagewise, has more justices, federal judges appointed, than any other president? who is it? who appointed the highest percentage of justices? [cheering] no. hillary clinton did not make it. remember. you will never guess. george washington. after george washington. why? because he is. he did 100%. nobody is ever going to break the record of george washington. [applause]

good old george. he never told a lie. that is what they say. he never told a lie. he did 100% of the judges. we are getting close. what the radical democrats did to justice kavanagh and his beautiful family is a national disgrace. they were on a ruthless submission to obstruct, resist, delay, demolished, and destroy. they are lousy politicians and have horrible policy but they stick together. the only thing they have. they always stick together. other than that, they are not doing too well. if you want the fake news media to finally investigate -- [booing]

by the way, -- [chanting] [cheering] don't worry. i do not like them either. look at this. here we are doing a rally for ted and it is great and there are a lot of people. look how many made it. this is the academy awards,

which has gone down the tubes. look how many. look how many. look at them. [cheering] do you recognize many of those happy faces? i know every one of them. i know everyone of them and 15% of them are great. [laughter] i know everyone. every one. if you want the news to finally investigate hillary clinton -- [cheering] man. [cheering]

i did not do it. i didn't do it. i didn't do it. if you want them to investigate, we will have to nominate hillary clinton to the u.s. supreme court. how do you like that? let's see how she does. if judge kavanaugh had to go through what he went through -- he is a fine man -- can you imagine hillary up there? that would take 3-4 years of questions. [laughter] at stake in this election is whether we continue the extraordinary prosperity we have achieved or whether we let the radical democrat mob take a giant wrecking ball and destroy our country and our economy.

the unemployment rate fell to the lowest level in more than 50 years. five oh. here is one hard to beat. the number of americans working at this moment -- the number of americans working has reached the highest in the history of our country. all time high. [cheering] we have eliminated a record number of job killing

regulations. that is one of the reasons are companies are coming back. republicans passed the biggest tax cut and reforming history with massive tax cuts for the middle class. we are adding 10% to those numbers. we have saved family farms, ranches, and small businesses from the estate tax, also known as the death tax. [cheering] most of you love your children. some of you don't. [laughter] the ones who don't, don't listen to me. if you don't love your children and if your children did not treat you good, do not leave them anything. [laughter] give it to charity or somebody else. for those of you who would like your small businesses, farms, ranches left to your children instead of having your children go out when you kick the bucket. sad day.

two or three dave later they are happy as how. forget it. [laughter] they don't have to go out and borrow a tremendous amount of money to pay the estate tax. they don't have to borrow anything. there is no tax. nobody talks about it. that was in our tax cuts. a lot of small business, farms, ranches -- there will be no tax. that is great. only if you love them. anybody in here does not love their child? anybody? [booing and cheering] a couple of you. two people. my administration also ended the fourth of war on american energy, something you people know a lot about.

we withdrew the u.s. from the unfair one sided paris climate accord, which was putting us out of business. on day one, i approved the keystone and the code access pipeline. day one. they spent years and years trying to get these pipelines built. by the way, we are speeding up the process for your pipelines that you desperately need in texas to get the oil to its destination.

we are speeding it up. i have heard so much. with texas leading the way, the u.s. is now -- this happened over a short period of time -- the largest producer of crude oil and natural gas anywhere in the world. [cheering] we are the number one energy producer in the world. who would think that? we are going to get the pipelines rapidly. i called the agencies and said get them approved. if there is a problem, let them know about the problem immediately. we do not take 20 years and say we cannot approve it. let them know immediately. for the first time in more than 60 years, america is an exporter of it natural gas. here is good news for texas.

just today, germany is chancellor angela merkel has announced her country will purchase massive amounts of lng. great news for your state. [cheering] i told all of the european nations it is not fair -- there all of the horrible trade and balances. they are not taking advantage anymore. under republican leadership, america is winning again. america is a respected again because we are putting america first. [cheering] we are putting america first. it hasn't happened in decades. we are taking care of ourselves for a change.

[cheering] thank you. i like that guy. radical democrats want to turn back the clock and rule and corrupt power hungry globalists. you know what a globalists is, right? a person who wants the globe to do well, frankly, not caring about our country so much. we cannot have that. they have a word. it sort of became old-fashioned. it is called a nationalist. we're not supposed to use that word. i am a nationalist, ok. i am a nationalist. [cheering]

nationalist. use the word. [chanting usa] they reported yesterday that donald trump is unpopular with the nation, one of the most unpopular presidents in the history of polling. i said, of course i am unpopular with foreign nations because they are not letting them rip us up anymore. they meant it to be banned. to this the 30% and why would they vote for them? honestly, you are treating

everybody good. when we protect with our military, the greatest in the world, and now it is a lot better, we have to be reimbursed for the protection. we are protecting the wealthiest nations in the world. we are subsidizing them. they take advantage of us. those days are over. time to be fair. [cheering] the most unpopular president. think of that. i am one of the most popular presidents in this country. [cheering] in our country.

a couple of polls came out today that were very good. they did not want to announce them. they paid for the polls. we have a new poll out. let me see. let's get to another subject. [laughter] the democrats want to replace freedom with socialism. [booing] they want to replace texas values with nancy pelosi values. [booing] and they want to replace the rule of law that the rule of the mob. that is what is happening. democrats would rather destroy american communities then defend america's borders. got to vote for ted cruz. [cheering]

the democrats are a big risk to the american family and our country. we cannot afford to take those kind of risks. this will be the election of the caravan, kavanaugh, law and order, tax cuts, and common sense. [cheering] ted opponent in this race is a stone cold phony. named robert francis o'rourke. [booing]

sometimes referred to as beto. he pretends to be a moderate. he is actually a radical open borders left winger. i know texas well. do not forget, they tried to convince you on election night that texas is in play. i would go to a thing and room or the lines i would have for the speeches. remember the lines? i hate to tell you, i think the lines are bigger tonight than two years ago. because i produced. [cheering] because i produced. the lines are bigger tonight and it is easier. two years ago, i had to say, we will give you tax cuts, we will cut regulations. it was all words. now i have produced so this is easy. [cheering]

in fact, some of those guys will say i produced more than i promised, which is true. which is true, actually. o'rourke voted against the tax cuts and went against tax cuts with job killing regulations and taxes that were really hurting jobs and companies. beto supports a socialist takeover of health care. it will triple your taxes and it will not be enough. and it will be lousy health care. you will end up waiting for five weeks to see a doctor. i heard ted say just before it went on, this is the beauty, i don't know of armory -- anybody who had earned this rating, he got an f from the nra. one of the few. an f means they want to take away your guns.

n f.ver even heard of a do we love louie? look at him. louie gohmert. [cheering] i do not know what his rating is but i assume it is an a plus. a plus plus. he has guts. they defend you. and they defend your second amendment. if ted does not win, the second amendment will be in trouble. his opponent voted against the border wall, case law, and voted -- kate law, and he voted for obama amnesty.

he voted to shield ms 13 gang members from deportation. he doesn't want to deport them. he says they are people. they are people. they carve you up with a knife, but they are people. voted in favor of sanctuary cities resulting in the death of countless americans. today's democratic party would rather protect illegal aliens than american citizens which is why democrats must be voted out of office. we need more republicans. [cheering] a vote for a democrat thisvoteor congress to nancy pelosi, chuck schumer, and the great maxine waters, that's the beauty. maxine waters. [booing]

did you get that one? maxine. she would be in charge of your finances. [booing] good old maxine. low iq individual. [laughter] low iq. how about this one? senator dianne feinstein. [booing] the mayor who did one of the worst jobs of any mayor other than the guy running for governor in florida. it was a horrible mayor. cory booker. he destroyed what he did. he was so bad. and a sad thing happened last week. because elizabeth warren was fraudd as being a total

and i can no longer call her pocahontas because she has no indian blood. [cheering] i cannot call her pocahontas. she does not qualify. i've been saying for a long time. i've been saying for a year and a half that i have more indian blood then she does, and i have none. but i cannot use the name pocahontas anymore. but i will anyways. is that ok with you? we have to keep her down. the people of texas will make a giant and beautiful stand. you are going to elect a republican house.

they are getting a little nervous. about a month ago, they were talking about this blue wave. you do not hear about the blue wave. you do not hear it for much. the blue wave is being dissipated a little bit. are you still talking about the blue wave? [booing] the blue wave is coming. let me tell you. you have to get out and vote. the party that has the presidency -- i do not know why. i guess you get a little sedate or something. you lose something. two times since the great depression, it was a positive.

nobody ever had the condition of ever producing the greatest economy and history of our country. i do not understand why we would lose the house. history is against us, but the fact i with us. -- the facts are with us. we can keep making america great again. [cheering] we will be changing. let me ask your advice. texas is more and tough. make america great again is the greatest slogan in the history of politics. what does she have? some debate slogan like stay together. -- stupid slogan like stay together. i got up and said see, that is all she can talk about is herself.

they paid her a million dollars for that slogan and changed it the next day. they decided not to do that. make america great again. now we are running, we are doing good. we have exceeded -- created $11 trillion. we are hitting china hard. we are doing this. $11.7 trillion. it was always china is doing so great, everything china. what about us? we are down. we are not done anymore. we are way up.

[cheering]ay, want china to do well, but they were down 32% over the last six months and w went way up. $11.7 trillion we created. china has lost about $20 trillion. we want them to be happy and do well, but they had to treat us fairly. they will. they have a wonderful, great leader, and they will. the choice in november cannot because -- could not be more clear. republicans produce jobs. [cheering]

thank you. thank you everybody. these are great people. honestly, you know we were here a lot. did we help you with that lousy hurricane? that was brutal. i never saw anything like it. it kept coming in. it was taunting us. it was and and then it went out. then it dumped and then it went out. three times. i am paying for that. is this ever going to stop or go away? that was a brutal hurricane.

you know what was fantastic? the u.s. coast guard. it was a big deal and it was a lot of water. these guys with ". -- the little boats. they want to go into the hurricane to show their wife had great they are? they get out there and they i am dead. let me ask you a question. the coast guard saved in texas more than any other place. in texas, the u.s. coast guard saved 16,000 lives. think about that. these are great people.

i said let me ask you a question. what happens? they want to go out and play at the edge, but there was no edge. it gobbled them up. how big is a thing like that? you are looking at -- they said we have the greatest boats, but if we hit that wrong, we go down just like anybody else. they ride the crest, they come in and save a lot of people and go back out. the coast guard, their brand has appreciated more than any other brand in this country. the u.s. coast guard.

they did a great job. [cheering] next time, all you guys come when there is a hurricane, do you not take your boat out. get out of town for a little while. that was brutal. fema was great. first responders was great. incredible. we are honored to be joined this evening by many great republican leaders. here tonight is a man who is incredible. he is a man with tremendous spirit. he asked me for more money than any other human being have asked. his name happens to be governor greg abbott. where is he? [applause] where is he? he is the greatest guy. where is he?

there are a lot of people in this room. you know greg. i took pictures with him backstage. the we like him more than trump? yes. i do. you he called me up. we have given billions of dollars to the state of texas. he said can i ask you one small question? he said, sir, we would like to build a dam, and it is not much money, but it would really help us for the next hurricane to keep the waters out of houston. he said it was a small favor, but i would like to ask you for that money. greg, how much is it? sir, it is only $10 billion. i said, state again. it is only $10 billion.

i said, that is the most expensive dam i have ever heard of. he loves texas. he is a great man. he did a fantastic job under a lot of pressure. you got all a's. the lieutenant governor, dan patrick. [cheering] finally, i see them. they are over here. it was -- it is hard to find one person in a room of 20,000 people. another tall guy, who is an incredible senator.

he represents you so well. he is always fighting for you. he was the one who asked dianne feinstein. he was the one. he said, remember? those horrible hearing, to a great job -- gentlemen. will he goes out and he is on the committee. he says did you leak? no, we did not leak. that was the worst body language. she was so guilty.

john was great. he was great during the hearing. he surprised her. she did not know what happened. use the her with that beautiful texas accent. great job. always a great job. you have an attorney general who does not stop. he is tough, smart and he collects more money for this date. he loves the state. thank you, ken. great job. we are working closely with your state leaders in the recovery effort, following the devastation of harvey.

we continue to work. in this case, it went very fast. we will never rest until the hurricane is totally out of our site and vision. it is very close to being finalized, but we will never rest until every last brick, every piece of asphalt and concrete is perfect. right? and if we did rest, ted cruz and john conan, and dan. they will not let me rest, will you? they will never let me rest. we stand ready to help texas respond to the storm that are continuing to cause flooding through the region. we are doing things to alleviate

some of those storms. i do not know what we will do with the one that the governor asked for. would you name it the trump dam? name it the trump dam. it is beautiful, big and expensive. i am kidding. i did not ask him that. tomorrow's headline, trump demands his name on the dam. chairman kevin brady, what a guy. what a guy. talk about help with taxes. kevin, we are putting in next week, the 10% reduction for income taxes. he promised in front of 22,000 people. he promised to me.

what a great job. a great man. thank you, bill. great job. congressman john connor. a friend of mine, you do not need to vote for him because he is so far ahead already. you do not have to vote for this guy because he is leading by 60 points. do me a favor. because i do not want to have a depressed man on my shoulders. go out there and vote for him anyways because he is out the ending. -- he is outstanding. [cheering] louis.

is it over? you want them to vote. go out there and vote for louis. another congressman who has been so helpful. ted. thank you. congressman pete olson. thank you. great job. congressman randy webber. thank you. great job. you have great people in this state. these are great people. congressman brian badin.

congressman john culberson is a great guy. get out and vote for him. get out and vote for him. get out and vote for pete sessions. he is a fantastic congressman. he is still leading, but get out. jodey arrington. she has done a great job. and congressman michael cloud.

thank you, michael. great job, michael. these are great people. great patriots who love texas. you do not want to be saying the words speaker nancy pelosi. [booing] for the next two years, he and you need to go out and vote for these tremendous republican lawmakers. thank you. thank you. this election is about protecting the sacred values that we all share. the values that texas republicans are fighting for every day. we believe in the right to free speech, the right to religious pretty and the right to keep and bear arms. we believe in law and order and we cherish the incredible men and women of law enforcement.

we believe that judges should always interpret the constitution as written. we believe that schools should teach our children to be proud of their country and to respect our great american land. we kneel in prayer and we proudly stand for our national anthem, as our american flag. we know that faith and family, not government and your accuracy -- bureaucracy are the true center. above all else, the -- in america we do not worship government. we worship god. [cheering] these are the values that unite

people all across the great state of texas. this election, you can send a message to the radical democrat. do not mess with texas. vote for ted cruz and vote republican. a future under democratic rule would be a total catastrophe. democrats in congress have already signed up for a socialist takeover of health care that would eliminate private insurance of more than 15 million texans. the democrat plan would destroy medicare and terminate medicare advantage for 1.4 million texas seniors who depend on it. republicans want to protect medicare for our great seniors who have earned it and paid for it for a long time.

republicans will always protect american with pre-existing conditions. we protect you. the plan to destroy american health care. thank you very the american taxpayer. they absolutely want to be able to vote. do not worry about it. the illegals -- i had -- hate to tell you they voted anyway and they are not supposed to. they got so many people voting a legally in this country, it is a disgrace.

voter id. you have to put your voter id on everything. the only thing you have to do it for is when you vote. republicans believe we should protect public benefits for truly needy americans, not illegal aliens. as we speak, the democrat party is openly encouraging millions of a legal aliens to break our laws, violate our borders and overwhelm our nation. the democrats have launched an assault on the sovereignty of

our country. the security of our nation and the safety of every single american. the crisis on our border as least the is the sole result of democrat laws and activists. democrat judges that prevent us from returning illegal aliens from central america and all over the world. it is called catch and release. [booing] you know what catch and release is. you have these people from border patrol. these are great people. ice and border control. a tough job. they catch them and then they release them. they say you have to come back for a court case. you have to come back in two years for a court case. number one, they never come back. 3% -- and i do not believe that 3%. we release them into the country because that is what the

democrats want. a lot of bad things happen when that happens. the democrats do not care what their extremist agenda will do to your neighborhoods, hospitals or your schools. they do not care that the last illegal immigration will totally bankrupt our country because all the democrats care about is regaining power, no matter how they have to go about doing it. all the witchhunts want to gain power. we will not let them gain power. and that is why the democrats all support catch and release. that is why they support visa lottery. countries put name in a batch and you pick them. then you have nothing but problems. you think those countries are putting their finance? i do not think so. -- their finest?

i do not think so. a guy comes in -- as an example, midwest highway in manhattan. a beautiful highway. he is driving a car down and decides he is going to make a right into the park where everyone is working on exercising, running and bicycling. he knocks everything down, including killing eight people. they never talk about the people who are wounded, when they lose their arms, legs and there -- their life can never be the same. they do not talk about the 12 people that lost something so important. will these are people in a park where they go to exercise, so they can be in perfect shape.

i go home months later without their legs, without their arms. will this animal, going at a very fast speed makes the decision to make a right into the park and run people over. he is here. it is called a chain migration. he is here. in a his mother comes with him, his father comes, his uncle, his aunt come his brother, his nephew, his sister. 22 people. no jobs, just 22 people. no more chain migration. democrats want to give illegal aliens free welfare and the right to vote. that is why they want to abolish ice.

you will see it over the next two weeks. i am stuck with it. i want to change it, but we have a tiny majority. i need the votes. with the senate, we need 60 votes, but we have the one. we need 60 votes. so they do not allow us to do it. they are killing and hurting innocent americans. democrat immigration policies allow poisonous drugs and ms 13 to pour into our country. democrat sanctuary cities release violent criminals from jail and straight into your neighborhoods. republicans believe our country should be a sanctuary for an law-abiding americans, not for criminal aliens. common sense.

the republican party will always stand proudly with the heroes of ice. these are tough people. they are great americans, but you do not want their jobs. they do not like using guns because it is too quick. ms 13 likes cutting people up and killing them like they did with two beautiful girls coming home from school. killing them, slicing them. these are evil people. that's right. he said it. they are animals. when i see -- in long island, i grew up near there. these are great town. for some reason, a lot of the ms 13 went after long island.

i have heard from friends of mine. we put ice in there. it is like a war. those people are clapping and screaming. these people and i walk in their and they are tougher and smarter. ms 13 respect them because none of you guys want that job. i do not want that job. i do not want that job. these are the heroes. they get them out of our country. we have removed thousands of them. they came in through the wonderful obama administration. we removed thousands of these people. the towns are liberated. you see the people clapping. it is like a war zone. these are great places, but we

have to cherish ice and law enforcement. we are getting the wall finished because it is an important element. even the democrats are seeing it. i got a call today. we really do need the wall. you need to have a wall. if you want to secure our borders and all the other things i just spoke about, go out and vote republican. if you want america to enter -- endure as a sovereign, independent nation, go out and vote. if you want a booming economy, go out and vote republican. in less than two years time, we

have created over 4.2 million new jobs and listed over 4 million americans off of route stamps. we have added 600,000 new manufacturing jobs. remember the previous administration? i will not be specific, but the head of the previous administration -- does anybody know who i am talking about? you cannot have manufacturing jobs in these -- this country. i guess we found the magic wand. the best jobs. manufacturing confidence hit an all-time high in the history of our country. economic growth last quarter reached 4.2%. they said that would not happen for years.

you we have another great one coming up. we had an interest rate climate. give me a zero interest rates. we are being conservative. hispanic americans, think of it. media income reached an all-time high. you hispanic american are poverty has reached an all-time low. hispanic american homeownership recently hit its highest rates in much more than a decade. african-american, asian american unemployment has reached the lowest level ever recorded in our country's history.

women's unemployment just fell to 3.6%, the lowest rate in 65 years. earlier this month, i announced that we are replacing the horrible nafta deal with an incredible new agreements. that is a great deal. our manufacturers are happy. you will not have countries leaving for other countries. i do not want our company is moving to other countries, firing all their people, making the product and putting it in with no tax and selling it back to our people. that is not going to happen. no more. we lost 35% of our automobile

business. nafta was a disaster. i do not want the name nafta. so many people worked so hard. we take in the toughest ever action to correct on -- crackdown on china's practices. we made a new trade deal for our farmers and manufacturers. we have taken bold action to reduce the price of prescription drugs. americans should not be forced to subsidize lower drug prices in other countries will paying the highest drug prices ever in the history of this world. we have gone through the process. it is a statutory process. drug prices will soon be plunging. watch.

a great job to help critically ill patients get life-saving treatments. a person is very sick and terminally ill and they want hope. they want to be able to get something. we have the greatest medical people. we have the greatest. people are told they are terminally ill. if we had a treatment that gave great hope and looked promising, we would not get close to letting them use it. we have something in the pipeline that looks really good. i know people who travel all over the world, looking for hope. they were looking for hope. now they sign a simple document and they go out and get it.

we have had tremendous results already. one of the other things, because john was very much involved. it is the ultimate test. it was very hard to get approval. it is done. i hope nobody has to use it. if you are really sick and they have something in the pipeline, you never had a chance to but now you get it. and we obtained $6 billion to fight the opioid epidemic, which is a big problem. with tad, he was incredible. with his help, we repealed the horrible obamacare, the individual mandate that everybody hated.

everybody hated it. and we passed veterans choice, giving our veterans the right to see a private doctor, instead of waiting in line for one month, two months, four months. and having a simple illness corrected. people stand in line so long they would have a simple problem and by the time they saw a doctor, they were terminally ill. now, they have to wait. it's our veterans have to wait, they go out and they see a private doctor. we pay the bill. we get them fixed up. we also passed for the veterans, the accountability law to ensure that anyone who mistreat our veterans -- you cannot fire

these people. they could do whatever they wanted to do and you could not but -- you cannot fire them. for our military, we secured money to fully rebuild the u.s. military. we are getting other countries to pay up and pay their fair share for a military protection, including nato. billions and billions of dollars. you have to pay up. they were not paying. close to $100 billion a year, we got it. they pay. we are protecting them. that is great.

but they have to pay. the pentagon is now working to create the sixth branch of the american armed forces, the space force. so important. people love it. it is so important. it is where it is that. to keep america safe from terrorism, we have put in place the travel ban. recently upheld by the u.s. supreme court. remember that? you'll never get it approved, mr. president. we just got it approved. i withdrew the u.s. from the horrible, one-sided nuclear deal. we have recognized israel and opened the american embassy in jerusalem.

together, we have made extraordinary progress, but we are just getting started. if you vote to elect a republican house and a republican senate, we will continue to cut your taxes, cut your regulations, raise your income, help your jobs, take care of your medical problems. you we willwill protect medicare and social security. we will defend the second amendment and continue to confirm great judges who will abide i our laws and our constitution. -- by our laws and our constitution. we will secure our border. we will pass kate's law. we will stop visa lottery.

we will get them out of our country. we will lift million of our -- millions of our citizens. from poverty to prosperity. for years, you watched as your leaders apologized for america. you now you have a president standing up or american area we are standing up to the great state of texas.

to continue this incredible momentum, to protect your state and your country, you need to elect a republican house and a republican senate. you need to vote for ted cruz. he is a terrific, great senator. loyal citizens like you helped to build this country, and together we are taking back our country, returning power to you, the american people. the greatest movement in history of our country. look at this as an example. a president would come to texas. they would have 300 to 400 people in a hotel and it would be considered a success. over 100,000 people wanted to come here today. the greatest movement in history

of our country. i am just laying it out and telling it like it is. from dallas to el paso. from the red river to the rio grande, this date was settled by some of the toughest men and strongest women ever to walk the face of the earth. [cheering] this is the state where william kravitz and davy crockett made their last stand at the alamo. this is the state where a small band of patriots at the battle of gonzales, armed with a single cannon stared down a foreign army and declared, and take it.

-- come and take it. [cheering] come on. what happened? texas is the state where generations of farmers and ranchers and oil workers and pioneers built a life and a home with their own two hands. will will will you they did not have a lot of money, they did not have a lot of luxury, but they all had one thing in common. they loved their families. they love their country and they loved their god. [cheering]

these courageous texas patriots did not shed their blood, sweat and tears so that we could sit at home while others try to erase their legacy, tear down our history and destroy our proud, american heritage. for the sake of our freedom and for the sake of our children, we are going to work. we are going to fight and we are you going to win and keep on winning. we will not bend. we will not break. we will never give in or give up. we will never back down. we will never surrender, and we will always fight on to victory. because we are americans. you our hearts lead red, white

and blue. -- our hearts bleed red, white and blue. together, we will make america a wealthy again. we will make america strong again. we will make america safe again. and we will make america great again. thank you, texas. ♪ [captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2018] [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, which is responsible for its caption content and accuracy. visit ncicap.org]

conscience, but this time i think i am voting for who i think will have the moral high ground. >> i think i would like to see congress go to the democrats, just to see a change in values and views and try that for a while. i'm not sure if that's going to matter, but i would like to see a change. >> as a democrat, i would like to see my party take control of congress. if the congress changes hands, and democrats are in charge we will have policies that are more prounion, pro-life, pro-environment, and a necessary check on an erratic and unreliable white house. ,> voices of from the states part of c-span's 50 capitals to our. c-span's "washington journal" live every day with news and policy issues that impact you.
