And there he is. You can see him there.

President Trump now walking out there in Kentucky. And so he's waving to the

Kentucky. And so he's waving to the crowd. He has been on a sort of tour in

crowd. He has been on a sort of tour in the area earlier today. He made a stop at a different location in Ohio in order to talk about the price of

pharmaceutical drugs. that company had

pharmaceutical drugs. that company had decided to invest billions of dollars back into the American economy to line up with some of President Trump's views there as far as tariffs go. And so we're

walking, we're watching as President Trump is now stepping into the room.

Just a short time ago, we were also able to see some of the special guests in the crowd there as well. That includes boxer and social media influencer Jake Paul.

We were able to see that vantage point of him behind the scenes. We don't know if he will be making any remarks while President Trump is there speaking in Kentucky. But walking up to the

Kentucky. But walking up to the microphone now, we had been waiting to see when the president would arrive.

Just about 20 or so minutes behind schedule. Stepping up to the microphone

schedule. Stepping up to the microphone now. Let's listen in. The men who died,

now. Let's listen in. The men who died, who gave that life to me, and I gladly stand up next to you and defend her

still today.

>> All right, as you can see, they're still playing some music there in the background and so we want to make sure that we're lowering the audio just we're not able to play some of these songs there for copyright issues. But again,

President Trump there arriving in Kentucky. He's been asked several times

Kentucky. He's been asked several times today as he gave a short press gaggle outside of the White House before heading out on this trip. Asked about

what's happening with the conflict in Iran. And so we do know that the

Iran. And so we do know that the president over the last couple of weeks and days has decided to enter into some of these public speaking events with comments about the conflict there in

Iran. And so we'll continue to see if

Iran. And so we'll continue to see if the president decides to do the same as he addresses the crowd. But again, his mission there in this speech is supposed to be centered on lowering prices for

everyday Americans. Now, let's see if we

everyday Americans. Now, let's see if we can listen in.

>> Uh, thank you.

USA.

>> Well, thank you very much. Thank you.

And a very special hello, Kentucky. I

love Kentucky.

I love Kentucky. We won in a landslide.

We won by so much. We have the all-time record in these state. But it's great to be back in this beautiful Commonwealth with so many proud, hardworking,

unbelievable American patriots. Thank

you.

And we're here today with the men and women of a phenomenal company that has been helping Kentucky grow and prosper for six incredible decades. In other

words, they've been here for a long time. Versed Logistics. Ver Logistics.

time. Versed Logistics. Ver Logistics.

Good company. Just met a lot of the the people that run it. They're good people.

They love you. They love you. Actually,

if they didn't, I wouldn't be here probably. I don't think I'd be

probably. I don't think I'd be if they didn't love you, I'd walk off this stage right now. With your help, this family-owned business has risen

from a small truck in operation into a juggernaut of warehousing, packaging, one of the biggest transportation, all these big labels they put on. But I'll

tell you, America's favorite brands right here. And this has been an

right here. And this has been an unbelievable group of people that built this wonderful company. And I want to thank them very much. It's an honor.

And like the people of Kentucky, you do it with skill and precision and pride using equipment stamped with those beautiful words, made in the USA. Do you

remember? Made in the USA.

We're putting it all over the place. And

we're making more and more things in the USA. More than we ever had. More people

USA. More than we ever had. More people

are working today in the USA than at any time in the history of our country.

>> And by the way, do we have a great military?

>> The best. Better than any military in the world by far. I didn't know that we're going to have to be showing it off so much to be honest with you. I built

it in my first term. We built this military and I didn't know that we'd have to use it quite as much as we're using it. But we're using it well and

using it. But we're using it well and there's no better military. There's

nobody even close. So, we're very proud of it.

So, we have in this company 2,600 employees and they pour out their sweat and their

soul into shipping the products America knows and gloves and they're doing more business than they've ever done before.

And thanks to the record setting tax cuts that we passed in the great big beautiful bill, biggest tax cuts in the history of our country. Tax cuts.

You know, I've been as I grew up, I'd watch politicians and I'd always hear that, "We're going to cut your taxes.

Cut your taxes." This is the first group of opponents. This the first group, the

of opponents. This the first group, the Democrats, they're always saying, "We're going to raise your taxes."

Historically, a politician has to ideally you're going to follow through, but you have to say, "We're cutting taxes." They say, "We're going to

taxes." They say, "We're going to raise." They were going to give you, if

raise." They were going to give you, if they won, Kamala and Joe, sleepy Joe, but they were going to raise your taxes more

than any. It was the biggest tax

than any. It was the biggest tax increase in the history of our country.

And I kept saying, are they really saying this? I don't know. What do I

saying this? I don't know. What do I know about politics? I haven't been doing it that long. But they were going to give you the biggest tax cut. And now

again, the midterms are coming. They

want to raise your taxes higher than you've ever had before. We have to win.

The midterms are going to be very, very important to keep it going.

But thanks to the tax cuts, which are record setting, we passed the great big beautiful bill. And I'm pleased to

beautiful bill. And I'm pleased to report that Verse Logistics is investing more than $10 million into expanding its operations this year right here. 10

million and you're buying brand new tractor trailers and opening up warehouses in two additional states, Texas and North Carolina. And that's what it's all about

Carolina. And that's what it's all about and that's why we did it. And with the help of our tax cuts, all of those trucks and warehouses and equipment purchases, everything that we're doing

and everything that you see in this country that's being built, you get what's called expensing, meaning a deduction in the first year. One year

it's the big Now to a lot of people that doesn't mean to me it means something else. It means jobs. That's why we have

else. It means jobs. That's why we have so many jobs. The best jobs ever.

Perhaps most importantly to the workers here today, I'm pleased to report that the great big beautiful bill also delivers no tax on overtime.

WHO EVER THOUGHT THAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN?

That means every extra hour you work, your overtime pay is now 100% taxree.

You have no tax. Remember that when you go and vote cuz the Democrats want to end it.

So you take home 20 or 30% more to those beautiful or whoever the hell you're bringing it home to. Okay? I don't know who you're bringing it home to. I don't

want to know. That's not my business.

Although it could be interesting.

After so many years of politicians who sold out the working men and women of our country, we finally have a president who puts American workers first.

With us today are the front row joe's.

You know they have followed me. What are

you up to about 350 rallies, right? 350.

I don't know what the hell they do. I

don't know where they get their money, but they follow me a lot. We have a lot of people. They just like a tour,

of people. They just like a tour, but they're front row Joe's. They're

like professionals at getting on the front row. Thank you. There's a And

front row. Thank you. There's a And there's a lot of them, too. Thank you

very much. Great honor.

>> So, a short time ago under a man named Sleepy Joe Biden. Has

anyone heard of him?

Has anyone heard of him? How about

Barack Hussein, Obama?

He went to Jesse Jackson's funeral. He

spoke and it was like a political hit job and the family of Jesse Jackson got angry as hell at him because they understand they hated each other. You

know, he was there. But uh I loved watching that. That was so the family

watching that. That was so the family goes outside and they start screaming at him. A short time ago under Biden and

him. A short time ago under Biden and his allies at Congress, we had a dead We were dead as a door. Now we were a dead country, I'll tell you. And it looked like we weren't going to come back. Now

we have the hottest country anywhere in the world. This is the hottest country

the world. This is the hottest country anywhere in the world. Most powerful

military.

The stock market has set 53 all-time record highs since the election. All

time. And the typical American's 401k is up by almost $35,000 since I took office.

And in four years, Joe Biden got less than $1 trillion of new investment into the United States. So think of this, $1

trillion over a period of much less over a period of four years. We got $18 trillion.

And Jake Paul knows what that means.

$18 trillion in 11 months because they haven't calculated the 12 months. So we have $18

trillion in 11 months. Say in a year what difference does it make compared to less than substantially less than 1 trillion in four years? You would say

they're not doing they didn't do a good job. Jake, I didn't ask Jake who we

job. Jake, I didn't ask Jake who we voted for, but I don't think it was Kamala.

I don't think so. I think your whole reputation would be shocked if you said, "Oh, I voted for Kamla." That would be the end of your whole career, Jake. But

here in the heartland of America, you're already seeing the result of what we've done. I just came from Thermoffisher

done. I just came from Thermoffisher Scientific in Reading, Ohio, right across the way. The great American company that's investing $2 billion in domestic manufacturing. All because of

domestic manufacturing. All because of what we've done with the tariffs and with the deductions and all of the other things that we've done. Ford Motor

Company. And by the way, we have more jobs in terms of construction. We're

building more factories now in this country than at any time in the history of our country. More factories are being built.

And Ford Motor Company, a good old staple, has announced a $2 billion assembly plant in Louisville, Kentucky, which will support more than 2,200

Kentucky jobs.

And I was with Ford the other day. I was

in Detroit and Bill Ford, the head of it, he had an advantage over everybody else in getting the job, but that's okay.

He was born Ford, but he was showing me a plant that was built in like 1914, very old, one of the biggest plants in the country, but one of the oldest. And

they were getting ready to shut it down a year and a half ago. And then he heard Trump was running. And he sort of said, "Let's wait." So they were getting ready

"Let's wait." So they were getting ready to shut it down. It was on minimal time.

It was just a question of time, but he said, "Let's wait." And he waited. And

they just announced two weeks ago that they're now going to run seven days a week, 24 hours a day, building the Ford

150.

A big difference. It's a big difference.

That's a big difference. You shut it down or you run 24 hours a day. And uh

they're doing a good job. Apple, a great company, 2.5 billion to manufacture 100% of the glass for iPhones and Apple watches right here in Kentucky.

Factories, all being made in Kentucky.

And Apple's spending $650 billion on new plants all over the United States. Think of that. Who the

United States. Think of that. Who the

hell else could have done this? Nobody

else.

Nobody else.

>> I say it kiddingly, but I'm actually not kidding. Nobody else has

kidding. Nobody else has >> a uh he's done a good job. Tim Cook, but six $650 billion, think of it. Just two

days ago, GE Aerospace, they're doing phenomenally, announced a $1 billion investment in American manufacturing, including 115

million right across the river in the Queen City, Cincinnati. I love

Cincinnati.

So, jobs, factories, and new investments are pouring in as they do. We have added 70,000 new construction jobs in just a short period of time, including 8,000

brand new construction jobs in Kentucky.

Okay Kentucky.

I love the way a real Kuckian pronounces it, but if I do, I don't get But I love Kentucky.

More Americans are working today than any time in history. And that number is going to be where do you see the numbers? By the end of the year, we did

numbers? By the end of the year, we did an excursion. Do you know what an

an excursion. Do you know what an excursion is? We had to take a little

excursion is? We had to take a little trip to get rid of some evil, very evil people. It should have been done. FOR 47

people. It should have been done. FOR 47

YEARS, they've been killing our people.

47 years.

47 years.

USA USA USA USA.

>> And I can only say this, they were all prepared. They're very

strong. You know, they're going to try and take over the whole Middle East.

They were going to knock out Israel.

>> They don't know what the hell hit them, right? They don't know what

right? They don't know what they got hit by the American military. They don't know. They say,

military. They don't know. They say,

"What the hell is happening?" They

didn't expect anything like this. To

bring down energy costs for American workers and families and businesses like this one, we ended the Green News scam.

You know the scam?

>> Greatest scam in American history.

Well, maybe the election results of the second election were I would say the What was the greater scam? The Green

News scam or the 2020 rigged election?

And I would say the 2020 I think the the election I think the election but what difference we took. But the main thing is we said get out and vote. We're going

to do it again and we're going to make it too big to rig. And that's what we did. We got the highest vote in history.

did. We got the highest vote in history.

We didn't need that big.

We made it too big to rig. We terminated

the insane electric vehicle mandate where you were mandated. And I like electric cars. I think they're great. I

electric cars. I think they're great. I

like Elon. I said, Elon, look, not everybody wants an electric car. And I

like them. And he does. It's a great product, everything, but they have to have We ended the mandate. We ended the mandate. Now you can have gasoline. You

mandate. Now you can have gasoline. You

can have hybrid. You can have whatever the hell you want. You can have electric.

They wanted you to buy an electric car by 2030.

There only one problem. You can't charge it. You ever see a charger, you drive it

it. You ever see a charger, you drive it down the road, you're running a little low and they say electric charging plant 150 miles up the road.

That's a bad feeling.

And we massively increase production of American oil, natural gas, and clean, beautiful Kentucky coal.

And we're not allowed in the Trump administration, we're not allowed to use the word coal without preceding it with two words, clean, beautiful. We say clean,

clean, beautiful. We say clean, beautiful coal. And we had Doug Bergam

beautiful coal. And we had Doug Bergam the other day, Secretary of the Interior, who's great, and Chris Wright, Secretary of Energy. And they were giving a long speech on coal, and I

tried to stop him. I was in the audience. I tried to they kept saying

audience. I tried to they kept saying clean beautiful coal clean beautiful coal clean be and after about like 40 times I said wait a minute just say coal

it's too much it's too much but it's clean beautiful coal and it's back and it's roaring back you know it's interesting China uses a

lot of coal China is very smart they use coal but they don't use much of if at all are windmills so they make all the windmills and they sell garbage to us.

Round and round it goes. Keeps losing

money. Every time it goes around, it loses $25. That's a lot, you know, and

loses $25. That's a lot, you know, and kills a lot of birds. Kills them all.

You know, if you shoot a beautiful bald eagle, they put you in jail for five years. Windmills kill them by the

years. Windmills kill them by the thousands.

Okay, figure that one out. Last year, I took action to save 74 coal power plants from crushing restrictions and regulations. They were putting them out

regulations. They were putting them out of business that would have forced them to shut down, including four plants we saved right here in Kentucky. And some

of the people that work at those plants are here with us now.

It's very powerful and it is now with modern equipment, clean, beautiful, but it's a very powerful fuel. It's very

powerful. And if it wasn't China and some of these other big behemoths would not be using it. They use it because it's powerful. Very, very powerful. The

it's powerful. Very, very powerful. The

wind, you know, you're watching television and you want to watch and your beautiful wife, our first lady, says, "I'm sorry, darling. You can't

watch tonight." The wind has gone down and we have but I WANT TO WATCH myself on television.

I want to watch myself debate.

She says, "I'm sorry, darling. We have

absolutely no energy. There's no wind tonight."

tonight." What a scam. That's a pretty big scam.

That's one of the top I say that's a top five. It's about five that are real

five. It's about five that are real beauties. I also announced a lease

beauties. I also announced a lease agreement for $1.5 billion of private sector uranium enrichment facility in Paduka

Paduka.

And as we take decisive action to stop the threat posed by the terrorist regime in Iran with Operation Epic Fury.

Is that a great name?

Well, it's only good if you win. You

know, you can only And we've won. Let me

say we've won. You know, you never like to say too early you won. We won. We won

the bet. In the first hour it was over.

But we won. But but they gave me a list of names of general. Sir, you can pick the name you'd like. Sir, I said the name of what? The name of the attack on

Iran, sir. And they gave me like 20

Iran, sir. And they gave me like 20 names. And I'm like falling asleep. I

names. And I'm like falling asleep. I

didn't like any of them. Then I see Epic Fury. I said, I like that name. I like

Fury. I said, I like that name. I like

that name.

And my administration, as you know better than anybody, is also working to keep the oil flowing. It's all flowing all over. We knocked out, you know, they

all over. We knocked out, you know, they they wanted to drop some mines. Very

friendly people, mines, so boats blow up. And we knocked out, as of I, you

up. And we knocked out, as of I, you know, every hour I have to change because they knock them out so fast.

I've never seen anything. Think of it.

They knocked out 54 ships in two days.

And they're real ships. In fact, I got angry at my people. I said, "Are they any good?" Yeah, they're warships. I

any good?" Yeah, they're warships. I

said, "Why the hell did we kill them?

Why didn't we just capture them and use them in our navy?"

They said they wouldn't have qualified for that. But I got a little upset with

for that. But I got a little upset with my people. I said, "Why do we have to

my people. I said, "Why do we have to knock them?" And actually, one of my

knock them?" And actually, one of my generals said, "Sir, it's a lot more fun doing it this way."

But we knocked out 58 naval ships. We

knocked out their navy. Okay, let's put it that way. But they also knocked out the uh the mine layers. They call them mine layers. They put mines in the

mine layers. They put mines in the water. Lovely job. Isn't that nice? Blow

water. Lovely job. Isn't that nice? Blow

up ships. And we knocked out 31 of them.

And you know, I suggest I was very proud of myself. I said, "Why don't you use

of myself. I said, "Why don't you use the weapon that we use on the drugs that come in by sea? Do you know that drugs by sea are down 98%.

And I said, "That's a hell of a weapon."

And they said, "We'll give it a shot."

It worked very well. We've knocked out, I think, 28 or 29. All of them. Almost

all of them. They'll they'll all be gone. By the time I'm finished speaking,

gone. By the time I'm finished speaking, they'll be gone. These people work very fast. But I'm pleased to report that

fast. But I'm pleased to report that earlier today, the International Energy Agency agreed to coordinate the release of a record 400 million barrels of oil from various national petroleum reserves

around the world, which will substantially reduce the oil prices as we end this threat to America and this threat to the world. We don't want to

leave early, do we? Huh?

>> WE GOT TO FINISH THE JOB, RIGHT?

Over the past 11 days, our military has virtually destroyed Iran. Tough country.

Their air force is gone.

Totally gone. That took that took the better part of about three hours.

They no longer have radar. They don't

have anti-aircraft equipment. They don't

have anything. Their missiles are down 90%. Their drones are down 85%.

90%. Their drones are down 85%.

We're blowing up the factories where they're made, left and right.

And frankly, nobody has ever seen anything like it.

Nobody's ever seen anything like what you're witnessing now. And that can include the original killing of Solommani and Albaghdaddy, two of the worst killings in the world

that I did.

As well as Operation Midnight Hammer, where we totally obliterated Iran's nuclear potential. We obliterated it.

nuclear potential. We obliterated it.

They don't have nuclear potential.

And then during after Midnight Hammer and then we left, we figured that'll be the end of them for a while. But they

started again. That's why we got to finish it, right? We don't want to go back every two years. And let's see because you know there'll be someday

when you don't have me as president.

You'll have perhaps perhaps perhaps you'll have a weak pathetic person like we've had in the past,

mostly all like Barack Hussein Obama who signed one of the worst deals ever.

with Iran where they were going to give up everything. Remember when he filled

up everything. Remember when he filled up a 757 with billions of dollars of cash and sent it to Iran? Billions. We

people forget that. That's when I realized the presidency is very powerful. When you could put over a

powerful. When you could put over a billion dollars in an airplane and fly it over and give it to a foreign country that's your enemy. How stupid was that?

But that deal, the Iran nuclear deal, gave them the right to have a nuclear weapon as of three years ago. If that

deal, if I didn't terminate that deal, I terminated it very quickly. If I didn't terminate that deal, they would have had nuclear weapons and this world would right now be a different place, much

different place.

>> Believe me.

And then Biden, he came along. He had no clue. He didn't

know what the hell he was doing.

But they uh they really they what they did was incredible. They everything they did was wrong. Think of it. Afghanistan.

Biden Afghanistan. The most

embarrassing day in the history of our country. Embarrassing. 13 dead. But

country. Embarrassing. 13 dead. But

hundreds and hundreds are dead from I count both sides, you know. I do. I

count both sides. Sorry. But hundreds

and hundreds of people dead. And instead

of leaving from Bram, they've fled. You

know, I hate to even say it. There's no

reason. We were in there. I was the one.

We're going to get out. We're going to get out with strength and dignity. We're

pounding the hell out of them. They

didn't like Donald Trump. The Taliban.

They would do anything I asked them to do. You know that. And this guy comes

do. You know that. And this guy comes in, left all the equipment behind. They

said, "Every piece of equipment will be taken out with us." They said, "No, it's better to leave the plane." I said, "Why is it better?" "Well, I think it's more costefficient to leave the plane." "No,

no, you got a brand new fighter jet, $150 million. You give it a tank of gas,

$150 million. You give it a tank of gas, little jet fuel, and you fly it out."

They said, "Sir, I think it's better to leave the plane." These are the exact opposite generals as we have now. Do we

love General Raisin Kane?

This is great.

>> But oil prices are already coming back down and it's going to come down. But

we're we're not leaving until that job is finished. And it's going to be very

is finished. And it's going to be very fast. It's going to be very fast. But

fast. It's going to be very fast. But

we're not we're not going to count on having competent presidents. We have to assume we're going to have incompetent ones like the one we had last time that couldn't walk off a stage. Remember he'd

finish with a speech. The speech would last about two minutes. People would

come out, not many, like two people and he'd be finished with the speech and then he could never find his way off the platform. He'd look around over here.

platform. He'd look around over here.

There's so many stairs like we I have four sets of stairs on this platform.

Usually they have at least that he couldn't find or walking up Air Force One. Now I know the problem with this.

One. Now I know the problem with this.

It can happen. You could slip. I could

slip. I came downstairs today that was soaking wet. You know, it's a little

soaking wet. You know, it's a little rainy today and I have steel stairs and I'm saying, but I'm I do it very slowly. I grab that

thing. I because nobody cares if you set

thing. I because nobody cares if you set a speed record. The only thing I admired about Barack Hussein Obama, which was

nothing actually, but but the only thing is the way he bobbed down. Remember he'd

bob. Hey, it it you talk about unpresidential.

He's bumping. And I couldn't believe that he made it without at least a noticeable major fall.

But Biden was the opposite. Biden

couldn't even walk up the stairs. He

fell three times walking up the And the world watches that and they don't like seeing it. Although they actually do

seeing it. Although they actually do like seeing it because they say, "What the hell is going on?" Or when he fell at the Air Force Academy, right? And the

general was standing there. could have

caught him, but he didn't want to drop the paper that he's holding in his hand.

So, Biden went down for the count.

Now, we have a country now that's respected, and we don't play games, and we have the greatest military, and it's so nice to see. It's so nice to see.

And they want to get back in office for the midterms. And you can't let them.

Did you see that? They went to Munin, Munich, right? You saw that, right? You

Munich, right? You saw that, right? You

saw Gavin Gavin Nuskum. He admitted that he's No, Gavin Nuskum. So, I think his career is over. Okay, we Let's get off the teleprompter for Do you MIND IF I

GET OFF THE TELEPROMPTER FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES?

Because this is, you know, I have these great speech writers. I drive them crazy because half the time I'm not. But Gavin

Newsome >> in an interview in an interview You have a doctor in the house, please.

Wow, he's a good doctor.

Thank you, Oz.

Thank you everybody.

>> Great job. Thank you.

>> Well, thank you very much. We're talking

about Gavin Nuskum.

Doesn't seem like a very good subject right now. It made that young lady not

right now. It made that young lady not feel so good.

Anyway, he admitted he has mental problems, that he's not a smart person, that he is mental a mental lack of

ability, he's unable to read a speech, he can't read, and all of the other things he said. He said he has a lot of mental problems. And I was attacked by a reporter that said, "Well, what's wrong

with that?" I said, "Nothing's wrong

with that?" I said, "Nothing's wrong with it, but I don't want the president of the United States to have a cognitive deficiency."

deficiency." Okay? Right.

Okay? Right.

And when he admitted this, I said, "I think he just lost the Democrat nomination. What do I know?" But you

nomination. What do I know?" But you know what? I'm for everybody, but you

know what? I'm for everybody, but you know, when it comes to president, you got to be sharp. You got to be sharp as hell.

One of the greatest victories we have achieved for hardworking Americans with the help of our great Republican majorities in Congress is no tax on

tips, no tax on social security. And as

I told you before, no tax on overtime, which affects you. 800,000 Kentucky

seniors and every Democrat voted against it. So

remember, and they'll terminate it. If

they take power, they'll terminate it.

800,000 Kuckies. So you have, think of that, you have no tax on Social Security. 800,000 seniors. And they will

Security. 800,000 seniors. And they will they will end it. We got to win the midterms. We also made interest on auto loans taxdeductible. First time that's

loans taxdeductible. First time that's ever happened. But I did put a little

ever happened. But I did put a little proviso. The car has to be made in

proviso. The car has to be made in America for you to get it.

Our tax cuts are projected to raise incomes in the Commonwealth by $5,400,

boost household take-home pay for you by nearly $10,000, and protect more than $84,000 Kentucky jobs at a minimum. And

some of the jobs we're creating or protecting are right here at Verse Logistics. So, let me call up your

Logistics. So, let me call up your outstanding CEO, Paul. Come on up real fast, Paul. Come on, Paul. Verse, come

fast, Paul. Come on, Paul. Verse, come

on up here, Paul. Let's go. DO IT FAST, PAUL. THEY DON'T WANT TO HEAR from you.

PAUL. THEY DON'T WANT TO HEAR from you.

>> I wish I could have gone before him. Mr.

President, thank you, President Trump.

Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to share our experiences. How your

economic policies and the one big beautiful bill have positively impacted our employees, company, and family.

As mentioned in your earlier comments, the no tax on overtime will greatly benefit our employees, producing an average of $1,400

additional take-home pay per year per person.

With this amazing benefit, the savings they will realize can be used to take a family vacation, provide further education for their children, pay bills,

or make a down payment on a house or car. Our family and companies have a

car. Our family and companies have a mission of giving back to our communities. The savings from the lower

communities. The savings from the lower tax rates and permanently full expensing of equipment will allow us to invest back in our local communities of

supporting nonprofit organizations and providing educational scholarship money for students attending local high schools and colleges.

Many of our first family owners and members who are with us today understands how vital the extension of the estate tax credit exemption is for

the continuity and succession planning of our great family business.

Our sweat and equity are tied to this building, many others, and our business.

Without this extension, it is possible our thriving business would one day need to be sold to pay family estate taxes.

President Trump, this is all possible because of your vision to make America great again.

On behalf of our family, company, and employees, we want to take this opportunity to welcome you to Northern Kentucky in the Cincinnati region.

You are in the heart of Kentucky, home of bluegrass, faster horses, and the best damn bourbon in the world.

You are in Trump country right now.

If if wrapping this up, if we can just take a pause and I'm going to say a quick little prayer for President Trump if I could.

May God bless and keep you healthy and safe. And may God bless our beloved

safe. And may God bless our beloved United States of America and everything it stands for. Thank you, President Trump.

>> Thank you, Paul. Wow, he did a good job.

>> You think that's easy to do? That's not

easy.

I often times I'll say to the head of a company, please come up and say, "No, I don't want to do it." Very good. Thank

you very much. Thank you for the prayer.

Also with us today is Sammy Bidd, who works at the restaurant and bar in nearby Newport, Kentucky. Sammy makes

over half of her income through tips.

And now, thanks to the no tax on tips, her tax liability has been slashed by more than 50%. The average filer's tax

refund this year has soared to nearly $4,000. You're saving $4,000. And

$4,000. You're saving $4,000. And

Sammmyy's receiving even more, over $5,000. So Sammmy is going to make over

$5,000. So Sammmy is going to make over $5,000 more than anticipated. All because of the great big beautiful bill that the

Republicans got passed. But with not one with not one Democrat vote, they want to raise your taxes. They're going to raise your taxes. So Sammy, come on up for a

your taxes. So Sammy, come on up for a second and say hello. Sammy.

>> Thank you, Mr. President.

>> Oh, there you go.

>> Hello everyone. My name is Sammy Biddle and I am a general manager and bartender at a local distillery in Newport, Kentucky called Pensive Distilling. And

like most servers and bartenders, a big portion of my annual salary comes from working double shifts and tips. A big

dream of mine has always been to save up enough money to buy a nice piece of land and eventually build a home on that land. And this year, due to our

land. And this year, due to our president's no taxes on tips and overtime policy, I got more year in taxes back than I ever have, which has helped me get that much closer to my

American dream.

Thank you, Mr. President.

>> That's pretty good, right?

Thank you, Sammy.

So, millions and millions of Kentucky families will have more money in their pockets thanks to what we did with respect to tax cuts. And I just described what every single Democrat in

Congress voted against it. Every single

one, not one voted for it. They want tax increases along with >> along with just one Republican voted

against. You know what the name is?

against. You know what the name is?

He is the worst person. His name is What the hell? How did he ever end up in

the hell? How did he ever end up in Kentucky? His name is Thomas Massie.

Kentucky? His name is Thomas Massie.

How did he ever end up here, Paul?

Anyway, no. Massie voted against tax cuts for seniors. He voted against tax cuts for overtime workers. And he voted against tax cuts for earners, tip

earners. No, he wanted to increase the

earners. No, he wanted to increase the taxes. He voted with the Democrats. He

taxes. He voted with the Democrats. He

voted against our historic funding for border security. He voted against border

border security. He voted against border security where we took the worst border in the history of our country, made it the best border in the history of our country in two and a half months. He

voted against and he voted against eligibility verification for welfare recipients.

Nobody has to be eligible. Just pick up whatever you want. The people in this room don't like that. Thomas Massie also voted with the radical left Democrats in

Congress to keep the federal government shut down during the open border crusade while our military went without pay. He

voted for a military not to get that.

And now Massie, he's the worst. And I

don't say I never hit a guy like this.

The guy's the most he just we call him Rand Paul Jr. He votes against everything.

But at least I like Rand a little bit.

Can't love a guy that votes. I got him elected twice. If I didn't endorse him,

elected twice. If I didn't endorse him, he was not going to get elected. Do you

remember that? I came and I did a little rally and Rand votes against us all the time, too. But at least he's okay.

time, too. But at least he's okay.

I wouldn't say the greatest. And now

Thomas Massie is attacking a great Navy Seal hero. This is a real hero,

Seal hero. This is a real hero, Ed Galrine, who's running against him in the primary. You know why?

primary. You know why?

Because he's not doing right for our president. He didn't want to run for

president. He didn't want to run for office. He's a hero. He's a farmer hero.

office. He's a hero. He's a farmer hero.

He's a tremendous war hero, but he's a farmer right here. He's like central casting. I said, "This is the guy I'm

casting. I said, "This is the guy I'm look I want to just I want to just give me somebody with a warm body to beat Massie." And I got somebody with a warm

Massie." And I got somebody with a warm body, but a big beautiful brain and a great patriot. He's unbelievable.

great patriot. He's unbelievable.

And he did it because he said he's disrespecting our country. He votes

against everything.

And Ed became an independent a few years ago because he was so angry at the way the Republican party was operating. And I

don't disagree with him. Other people

did too. But then it came back and he came back strong because I got involved.

And he came back stronger than he ever was. And now he's all the way. He's in

was. And now he's all the way. He's in

this party and he's in it. and he said, "I came back because of the strength and wisdom that Donald Trump displayed." And I appreciate that. That's a nice I think

appreciate that. That's a nice I think I'm going to use him in an ad. I think

I'll use that statement. I'm going to use that statement in an ad.

Strength and wisdom. I put wisdom in quotes because I didn't say it. He did.

But many people have joined and rejoined our party. But Massie did not because he

our party. But Massie did not because he only votes no. He just votes no.

doesn't matter. I could give him the best things in the history of a Republican voter and he'd vote no.

There's something wrong with him. It'll

be interesting to see what he does with the Save America Act, >> which is very simply, I think he has to vote for it, but he's a nut job, so you

never know.

>> All voters must show voter ID.

98%.

That's 98%.

All voters must show a little thing called proof of citizenship in order to vote.

Right. Right. Paul agrees.

NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS EXCEPT FOR ILLNESS, DISABILITY, MILITARY, or travel. You're

away. You can't get there. Well, be

generous.

And then I added two things. We call

them best of. Do you know what they are?

Best of trump. These are the best of. No

men in women's sports.

>> 99%.

That's 99. And no transgender mutilization surgery for our children.

That's it.

That's it. And I think we're going to get it approved in the House. And I hear the Senate has a hard time. How can you have a hard time with that? How can you

have a hard time? But Massie wants to vote no, but on this one he may be forced. I mean, how can you do it? So, I

forced. I mean, how can you do it? So, I

just want to say this.

Thomas Massie is a disaster for our party. He comes from a state that I won

party. He comes from a state that I won by a landslide. Got the highest vote in the history of of your Commonwealth. The

highest vote. I got the highest vote.

That means the people like me and I love them. I love them.

them. I love them.

I love them more than they love me. But

I still got the highest. Remember with

your mother? I love you more than you love me.

We revert back to childhood.

But Massie is a complete and total disaster as a com congressman and frankly as a human being. You know,

he's got one thing going. He went to a good college, but I know a lot of stupid people that went to a good college.

And my uncle was the longest serving professor in the history of that particular college, university, MIT, 41 years. My uncle was

there 41 years. So that means I have much better blood if you go by that. But

I went to the hardest college of all to get into, the Wharton School of Finance.

That means I'm real smart. We got to get rid of this loser. This guy is bad. He's

disloyal to the Republican party. He's

disloyal to the people of Kentucky and most importantly he is disloyal to the United States of America and he's got to be voted out of office

as soon as possible. On the other hand, Ed Galrine has my complete and total endorsement. He's a true American hero

endorsement. He's a true American hero and he's a great patriot and he's doing it because he saw what this guy was doing to our country and he said, "I'm

going to run." He's a He's now a farmer, successful farmer and he's I can tell you he's strong as hell. He shook my hand. My hand is still recovering, SIR.

hand. My hand is still recovering, SIR.

I'D LIKE TO SHAKE YOUR HAND. ABSOLUTELY.

HOLY.

I didn't tell him that, you know. I'm

telling him now officially. Ed, would

you come up for a minute, please?

Mr. President, welcome to Kentucky and thanks for coming to the heartland because you are loved and admired here for your courageous leadership of our

great nation at such a critical time in history. Thank you, Mr. President.

history. Thank you, Mr. President.

Thank you.

This is the land of we the people right here.

I want to thank you for your endorsement because once you did that, my support skyrocketed.

>> So, I look forward to serving to the people as their representative of Kentucky District 4. Because as you folks know, you deserve an authentic,

true Republican conservative that stands shouldertosh shoulder with our president and the Republican party and against the Democrats who are trying to destroy our

nation.

USA, USA USA.

USA.

>> So, Mr. President, I will stand with you in the party to put America first and Kentucky always.

>> Mr. President, I hope the fake news gets this.

Tom Massie stands with the ladies of the view. Tom Massie stands with the ladies

view. Tom Massie stands with the ladies of the view. MR. PRESIDENT, WE STAND WITH YOU. FIGHT. FIGHT. FIGHT.

WITH YOU. FIGHT. FIGHT. FIGHT.

USA. USA.

I'm telling you that is the greatest candidate.

>> You know, I've done this before, not quite as violently and miserably as this one, but I just can't stand this guy.

But I've had some candidates that weren't great. They'd get up, they

weren't great. They'd get up, they wouldn't talk well, and I'm trying to beat like an incumbent bad congressman, senator, somebody. But I do it all the

senator, somebody. But I do it all the time. If somebody's mad, I try and get

time. If somebody's mad, I try and get them out of office. I should just leave it alone. My life would be a lot easier,

it alone. My life would be a lot easier, right? But I have usually candidates

right? But I have usually candidates that don't have what it takes. This guy

is unbelievable. He is central casting.

Just elect him. You're going to have no problems with him. Thank you, Ed. Thank

you. Unbelievable.

That's great.

He's a good man. With us today are some of the amazing warriors who unlike Massie, he stood up for the working people of this commonwealth. This great group

of people, the people that built the nation, including a wonderful man who's been with me all the way, Congressman Andy Bar all the way.

He's a good guy and a warrior. Also with

us is a senator who came from really behind. He really didn't have a good

behind. He really didn't have a good chance of winning. The guy was a longtime senator Democrat that was it's terrible. He's running again. He's

terrible. He's running again. He's

terrible. Was a terrible radical left lunatic.

But Bernie Marino did some job on him and he won the race and it was amazing Bernie. Congratulations.

Bernie. Congratulations.

And thanks as well to CMS administrator.

You just saw him working.

Dr. Memed Oz. He was just working.

Nick Sandman?

Where is Nick? Come here. Come here.

Come on. Hurry up, Nick. He's a young guy. He could get up here for

guy. He could get up here for guy walked away with a lot of money.

They did a number on him. He said,

"We're not going to take it anymore." I

love these guys. Nick. Wow.

Become a big celebrity, too. Nick, say a couple of words. Nick, we love Nick.

>> Well, thank you. Thank you. And and as I just said, really the only thing I can say is Mr. President, thank you. Thank

always stand with you.

I watched that whole thing unfold, Nick, and I said, "That guy is getting scammed."

scammed." And you know what? He scammed them because what he did was pretty amazing.

Him and his group of friends, he had good loyal friends, Nick, and that's great.

I loved it. I loved watching what he did. And another one who's this guy is a

did. And another one who's this guy is a piece of work. He he a very tough cookie. But instead of fighting like a

cookie. But instead of fighting like a guy his own size, he goes he fights a guy who's like 70 pounds bigger who won he's like a two-time Olympian champion.

He's this massive guy. And my friend is a guy named Jake Paul. And

and I said and and I'm watching. I didn't realize there was a slight size variance like

about 7 in and about 70 lbs. This guy

fought like I tell you what, he is courageous. He's an incredible guy. He's

courageous. He's an incredible guy. He's

got a brand new beautiful fiance. And

you're not allowed to use the word beautiful when describing a woman anymore. It's the end of your political

anymore. It's the end of your political career, but I'll say it anyway. What the

hell?

She's beautiful. She just won the Olympic gold medal.

Where's Where is she? Where's Utah?

She gold medalist. Boy, I tell you, she's strong. That means she's strong.

she's strong. That means she's strong.

You better be careful. She's a beautiful person and she's a big strong athlete. I

watched her win that gold. And they have an expression, if that were a fight, they'd stop it, right? She's great. But

Jake Paul is a great guy. And you know, part of the deal is he said, "Do you mind if I do an interview with you?" I

said, "Jake, I'm the president of the United States. I don't do interviews.

United States. I don't do interviews.

Look at Joe Biden." He went two and a half years without doing an interview because he was shot. But he was shot 30 years ago, too. He was no good. But I

said, "Jake, I'm president. How can I do your local podcast?" But his local podcast is big stuff. And he's big stuff. Jake, you got to come up. Come

stuff. Jake, you got to come up. Come

here. Come on. You got

this guy has guts and he had he walked out with a broken jaw. This was not the greatest fight,

jaw. This was not the greatest fight, but you know what it showed? Lots of

courage. Come here, Jake. Say a few words. These are your people.

words. These are your people.

>> Yeah. What Mr. Trump has taught me is courage. You know, we never back down

courage. You know, we never back down from a fight, even if they're much bigger than you. Much, much bigger than you. And I feel all the local Kuckians

you. And I feel all the local Kuckians feel the same way. You guys have that fight. You guys have that swag. There's

fight. You guys have that swag. There's

a lot of young kids in here. The future

of America. I grew up just a few hours away from here. My dad taught me to fight. And all of our voices matter in

fight. And all of our voices matter in America. And I'm never afraid to speak

America. And I'm never afraid to speak the truth. And I know you guys aren't.

the truth. And I know you guys aren't.

We here. We are here representing the United States. And it's just a blessing.

United States. And it's just a blessing.

Thank you, Mr. Trump. We need more factories like this thriving all over the country. And I know he's going to be

the country. And I know he's going to be the one to bring that here to us. I know

God is with us. I know he wants us on the right side of history.

And everyone here has to do their part.

And God's got us. Trump's got us. God

bless. Love you, Kentucky.

No, he's a great guy. He's a courageous guy and a talented guy. He's a hell of a fighter, too, by the way.

>> And I just want to say I predict I'm going to make a prediction that you will be in the not too distant future running

for political office. Okay? AND YOU HAVE MY COMPLETE AND TOTAL ENDORSEMENT. OKAY?

NO, that's what we want. He's an

incredible guy. a lot of courage and smarts. So in four long years, Joe Biden

smarts. So in four long years, Joe Biden and the radical Democrats in Congress gave us the worst inflation in the history of our country, driving up prices all across the board. They left

us a mess. In 12 months, my administration's driven down core inflation down to the lowest level in more than five years. And in the last three months, inflation was less than

1.7%.

Under our policies, prices for chicken, eggs cheese butter potatoes and fresh fruit are lower today by a lot than when I took office. Hotel rates,

automobile prices, and rent payments are way down as well as a result of my direction to purchase $200 billion in mortgage bonds. A risky move perhaps,

mortgage bonds. A risky move perhaps, but not for me. Mortgage rates are now the lowest in more than five years, and the annual cost of a typical new

mortgage is down almost $5,000.

And to help our great citizens afford their American dream, I recently signed an executive order to ban large Wall Street investment firms from buying up single

family homes.

Under my most favored nation agreements for drug prices, we're also slashing drug prices at record levels with price

differences of 400, 500, 600, and even 700%.

Can you believe it?

And I got that with the drug companies.

And then I had to convince foreign nations that it's not fair. And I used the word tariff, the beautiful word. And

they always said one of my most favorite most beautiful words. I used to say this to my favorite word most beautiful word and the fake news killed me. They said,

"What about your wife?" "What about God?

What about religion? What about your children?" I said, "Okay, it's my fifth

children?" I said, "Okay, it's my fifth favorite word. Now I don't get in

favorite word. Now I don't get in trouble." No, they actually went after I

trouble." No, they actually went after I said, "IT'S MY FAVORITE WORD IN THE DICTIONARY, the word tariff." And they killed me. These guys at a worst.

killed me. These guys at a worst.

For decades, Americans have paid the highest drug costs in the world. But

now, thanks to our policies, Americans are going to be paying the lowest drug prices paid anywhere in the world.

And these incredible price reductions are available right now at And I did not name this. This was done by Dr. Oz and

name this. This was done by Dr. Oz and Bobby. Where's Oz? He's back with a

Bobby. Where's Oz? He's back with a patient. So, he stays with the patient.

patient. So, he stays with the patient.

Where's Oz?

>> Oz, is it true that I did not name this after myself?

>> Okay. Thank you. If he said no, it would he'd be out of here. No, he's done a great job. And is she okay, Oz?

great job. And is she okay, Oz?

>> Good. Thank you. Great. Great job. Okay.

So, it's available right now. These

really low prices. Trump rx.gov.

Trump RX and people are using it at record numbers. He named it. I didn't

record numbers. He named it. I didn't

name it.

I'm not sure I want my name on drug.

Well, drug reduction is probably good, right? If prices ever go up, I'm going

right? If prices ever go up, I'm going to say get my name off there. But

they're not going to go up. They're only

going to go down. Other presidents tried to do it, but all they did was talk. It

was all talk. No action. I got it done.

I got it done for you. got it done for Kentucky, but it's doing record type business, right? Biggest biggest price

business, right? Biggest biggest price reduction. I think it's one of the

reduction. I think it's one of the biggest things to happen in medicine because the prices are just a tiny fraction of what they were. So, Trump RX

is a major step toward a larger goal of reducing the cost of health care for hardworking Americans since the passage of the unaffordable care act. You know

what that is? The I love the name, the unaffordable care act. Uh, do the Democrats hate me? I wonder who hates me more, stupid Tom Massie or the

Democrats?

I think it's trust.

Well, they have Trump derangement syndrome.

If we won that war, which we have basically done, if we won that war in one day, HE SHOULD HAVE DONE IT FASTER.

It's unacceptable.

And by the way, if I didn't go in, you know, now they like to complain. It's

hard for them to complain with that military is so incredible. But they like to complain. So let's assume I didn't go

to complain. So let's assume I didn't go in. I I was like every other president.

in. I I was like every other president.

Oh no. Let them kill people. Let them

get an atomic weapon. Let get get let them get a nuclear weapon that can destroy the world. So let's assume I didn't go in. They'd say he should be

going in.

These are the worst people. Since the

passage of the unaffordable care act, sometimes referred to as Obamacare, named after Barack Hussein Obama. Have

you heard of him? Big insurance

companies have gotten rich with our government giving them hundreds of billions of dollars as their stock prices soared up to 1700%.

Under my plan, I want to stop all payments to big insurance companies and instead give the money directly to the people so that they can buy their own

healthcare which will be better health care at a lower cost. Dr. Oz. Okay.

Billions, trillions of dollars a year, literally trillions go to insurance companies and you get rotten health care. Obamacare is a loser. It was meant

care. Obamacare is a loser. It was meant for the insurance companies and the insurance companies totally control the Democrats, not the Republicans.

Just over one year ago, we inherited a mess, a floundering economy, wide open borders, the worst inflation ever, crime, chaos everywhere. Today, just a

short time later, look, we've been there for one year. We have the most secure border in US history. The flow of fentinol across our border is down by 59%.

We get it better.

The murder rate just saw its single largest drop ever recorded, the lowest in 125 years before

my father Fred was born. Before he was born.

And that's despite the fact that we have a lot of people that shouldn't have been allowed in here that are murderers.

Inflation is plummeting, incomes are rising, the economy is roaring back, and America is respected again, perhaps respected like never before. Every

single day of my administration with the help of the great people of Kentucky.

Yeah, I love Kentucky.

We will keep on working and we will fight, fight, fight and we will win, win win win.

And together we will make America powerful again.

Front row, WE WILL MAKE America wealthy again.

We will make America healthy again.

We will make America strong. Strong

again. Strong.

We will make America proud again.

We will make America safe again.

And we will make America great again.

Thank you, Kentucky. Thank you. Thank

you very much.

Thank you very much.
