IN FULL: Former US President Donald Trump hints at 2024 run

over an hour late donald trump has arrived at the cpac conference in florida about to make his first speech since leaving the white house speaking there to an audience of american conservatives taking a long time to clap his audience perhaps as a thank you for their rather long wait and they haven't heard from him for a few weeks he's of course been silenced by social media and so his usual outlet for letting us know how he thinks and uh we've not had a huge amount of reaction from him since his impeachment trial of course where he was cleared but where a number of republicans from his own side voted against him we're told he may have scores to settle tonight perhaps with some of those republicans but also of course with his successor joe biden he will no doubt be in his sights in this speech willie announced that he'll run for office again in 2024 the experts think not the crowd no doubt would like him to he's got a lot of supporters at that conference so a long build up to him starting to speak maybe he particularly likes this song [Music] we know that he's going to go for joe biden on the subject of immigration we've been told that and although he's not expected to formally say that he'll run in 2024 he is expected to talk about his political journey being far from over and there's been a straw poll taken there amongst those grassroots conservatives that this cpac conference represents that it's the largest annual gathering of those grassroots conservatives in the us and a straw poll has been taken amongst them and they have put donald trump as their top candidate to run in 2024 he's the most popular person there and actually there's the signs of his popularity throughout the conference not least amongst the speakers who are attending but also the general mood there as well interestingly mike pence mitch mcconnell not speaking there aside perhaps of the schism that still remains within the republican party [Music] [Applause] well thank you very much and hello cpac do you miss me yet do you miss me a lot of things going on to so many wonderful friends conservatives and fellow citizens in this room and all across our country i stand before you today to declare that the incredible journey we've begun together we went through a journey like nobody else there's never been a journey like it there's never been a journey so successful we began it

borders and most cherished principles our security our prosperity and our very identity as americans is at stake like perhaps at no other time so no matter how much the washington establishment and the powerful special interests may want to silence us let there be no doubt we will be victorious and america will be stronger and greater than ever before [Music] i want to thank my great friends

to our ears cancel culture and i want you to know that i'm going to continue to fight right by your side we will do what we've done right from the beginning which is to win we're not starting new parties you know they kept saying he's going to start a brand new party we have the republican party it's going to unite and be stronger than ever before i am not starting a new party that was fake news fake news no wouldn't that be brilliant let's start a new party and let's divide our vote so that you can never win no we're not interested in that now we have tremendous uh mr mclaughlin just gave me numbers that nobody's ever heard of before more popular than anybody that's all of us it's all of us those are great numbers and i want to thank you very much those are incredible numbers i came here and they were giving me 95 97 92 percent i said they're great and i want to thank everybody in this room and everybody all throughout the country throughout the world if you want to really know the truth thank you though thank you we will be united and strong like never before we will save and strengthen america and we will fight the onslaught of radicalism socialism and indeed it all leads to communism once and for all that's what it leads to you'll be hearing more and more about that as we go along but that's what it leads to you know that we all knew that the biden administration was going to be bad but none of us even imagined just how bad they would be and how far left they would go he never talked about this we would have those wonderful debates he would never talk about this we didn't know what the hell he was talking about actually [Applause] his campaign was all lies talked about energy i thought i said you know this guy actually he's okay with energy he wasn't okay with energy he wants to put you all out of business he's not okay with energy he wants windmills the windmills the windmills that don't work when you need them joe biden has had the most disastrous first month of any president in modern history that's true already the biden administration has proven that they are anti-jobs anti-family anti-borders anti-energy anti-women and anti-science in just one short month we have gone from america first to america last you think about it right america last there is no better example than the new and horrible crisis on our southern border we did such a good job it was all worked nobody's ever seen anything like we did and now he wants it all to go to hell when i left office just six weeks ago we had created the most secure border in u.s history we had built almost 500 miles of great border wall that helped us with these numbers because once it's up you know they used to say wall doesn't work well you know what i've always said walls and wheels those are two things that will never change the wall has been amazing it's been incredible and little sections of it to complete they don't want to complete it they don't want to complete little sections in certain little areas they don't want to complete but it's had an impact that nobody would have even believed it's amazing considering that the democrats number one priority was to make sure that the wall would never ever get built would never ever happen would never get financed we got it financed we ended catch and release ended asylum fraud and brought illegal crossings to historic lows when illegal aliens trespass across our borders they were promptly caught detained and sent back home and these were some rough customers i want to tell you some rough customers were entering our country it took the new administration only a few weeks to turn this unprecedented accomplishment into a self-inflicted humanitarian and national security disaster by recklessly eliminating our border security measures controls all of the things that we put into place joe biden has triggered a massive flood of illegal immigration into our country the likes of which we have never seen before they're coming up by the tens of thousands they're all coming to take advantage of the things that he said that's luring everybody to come to america and we're one country we can't afford the problems of the world as much as we'd love to we'd love to help but we can't do that so they're all coming because of promises and foolish words perhaps worst of all joe biden's decision to cancel border security has single-handedly launched a youth migrant crisis that is enriching child smugglers vicious criminal cartels and some of the most evil people on the planet you see it every day just turn on the news you'll see it every day under my administration we stop the child smugglers we dismantle the criminal cartels we greatly limited drug and human trafficking to a level that nobody actually thought was possible and the wall helped us a lot and we protected vulnerable people it's ten o'clock you're watching sky news we're live in florida as former us president donald trump makes his first public appearance since leaving the white house at a conference of american conservatives well listen again and it has done so in a very very big way under the new administration catch and release has been restored can you imagine we work so hard catch you know what that is you catch them you take their name they may be killers they may be rapists they may be drug smugglers you take their name and you release them into our country we did the opposite we not only didn't release them we had them brought back to their country illegal immigrants are now being apprehended and released along the entire southern border just the opposite of what it was two months ago they weren't coming because they couldn't get in once they think they can get in they're coming and they are coming at levels that you haven't even seen yet by the hundreds of thousands by the millions they'll be coming the biden administration is now actively expediting the admission of illegal migrants enabling them to lodge frivolous asylum claims and admitting them by the thousands and thousands and thousands a day crowded together in unsanitary conditions despite the ongoing economic and public health crisis covet 19 or as i call it the china virus there's no masks there's no double mass that was a new one that came out two weeks ago first vauch he said you don't eat mask no mess no good no no then all of a sudden you want him and now he wants double masks no social distancing nothing no nothing they're together and it's sad actually and it said for them and it said for our country what the biden administration is doing to push young migrants into the hands of human traffickers and coyotes is dangerous immoral and indefensible hard to believe it's happening biden has failed in his number one duty as chief executive enforcing america's laws this alone should be reason enough for democrats to suffer withering losses in the midterms and to lose the white house decisively four years from now [Applause] actually as you know they just lost the white house but it's one of those things but who knows who knows i may even decide to beat them for a third time okay joe biden defunded the border wall and stopped all future construction even on small open sections that just needed to be finished up routine little work it's already been bought wait till the contractors get to them and they say no it costs us much more money not to finish the small section than if we finished it that's going to be nice where do you see those bills start pouring in he revoked the executive order cracking down on deadly sanctuary cities he has effectively ordered a shutdown of ice halting virtually all deportations everyone murderers everybody no more let's not deport people and restricting our law enforcement professionals and they are great professionals you have many of them represented here today from conducting almost any immigration enforcement of any kind the biden policy of releasing criminals into the u.s interiors making america into a sanctuary nation where criminals illegal immigrants including gang members and sex offenders are set free into american communities they have no idea who's coming up and remember with the caravans these countries not only the three of them but many many countries all over the world they're not giving us their best and their finest because they're intelligent they're not giving us their best and their finest remember i said that i said that a long time ago when i made the first remarks when i came down the escalator with our great future first lady who says hello who loves you as much as i love you but i said that a long time ago and we turned out to be 100 correct biden's radical immigration policies aren't just illegal they're immoral they're heartless and they are a betrayal of our nation's core values it's a terrible thing that's happening the republican party must hold joe biden and the democrats accountable they ripped up the diplomatic agreements we negotiated with honduras guatemala and el salvador to shut down illegal immigration you know they got a fortune they got paid 500 million dollars a year when i came into office those countries were refusing to take back illegal alien gang members including ms-13 the most vicious probably of them all no matter where you go in the world ms-13 they do things that even the worst don't think about so i asked how much do we pay these countries how much do we pay them sir we pay them approximately 500 million dollars a year that's a lot of money i mean it's peanuts compared to the way other countries rip us off but that's a lot of money i said okay we aren't going to pay them anymore because they wouldn't take back the criminals and this was true with the obama administration it was true for many many years so we'd catch a murderer we'd want to bring them back to guatemala or honduras el salvador they wouldn't take them back no we don't want them we'd fly them in they wouldn't let the plane land we'd bust them in they wouldn't let the buses get anywhere near the border and i said we're not going to pay them anymore so after i said that and i stopped payment you know like a term that we use in the world of business let's stop payment so we stopped payment they were delinquent we stopped payment and they very quickly came to the table and we made a deal very quick deal we still kept the money we still didn't pay because but we made a deal [Applause] and when illegal aliens came across our border they were rapidly deported and lovingly accepted by those countries from where they came and it worked out great so now they accept the people and then we ultimately got along very well with those countries those three countries and many countries throughout the world because they respected us again they didn't respect us they couldn't believe what they were getting away with but now joe biden has wrecked this great deal wrecked it and they're already doing what they were doing before and they're taking the money and that's just a small portion of what's going on to top it all off the biden people are pushing a bill that would grant mass amnesty for millions of illegal aliens while massively expanding chain migration that's where you come in and everybody comes in your grandmother your father your mother your brother your cousins they come in so easily so so crazy so crazy it even requires that the u.s government provide illegal border crosses with taxable funded lawyers lawyers anybody need a good lawyer you can't have one they get the lawyers they get lawyers they're probably very good too the democrat immigration bill is a globalist corporate you take a look at the corporatists big tech attack on hard-working citizens of every race religion color and creed and republicans must ensure that it never is allowed to become federal law which is what they want to do [Applause] we must stand tall in the party we have to do this we have to stand tall as the party for law abiding americans and others when they're in our country border security is just one of the many issues on which the new administration has already betrayed the american people he didn't talk about this stuff i debated him he wasn't talking about this he wasn't what he signed with those executive orders they weren't things that were discussed we didn't know all about him and the press because they're fake news they're the biggest fakers there are but the press refused to ask the questions and when i asked the questions on television on the debate chris wallace in this case and others refused to let him answer they refused to let him answer the questions maybe we could have found something or if the media did its job which they don't their callous indifference to working families equally clear when it comes to the critical matter of getting america's children back to school and they must get back and get back right now right now crazy terrible the biden administration is actually bragging about the classroom education they are providing to migrant children on the border while at the same time millions of american children are having their futures destroyed by joe biden's anti-science school closures think of it we're educating students on the border but our own people the children of our citizens citizens themselves are not getting the education that they deserve there's no reason whatsoever why the vast majority of young americans should not be back in school immediately the only reason that most parents do not have that choice is because joe biden sold out america's children to the teachers unions his position is morally inexcusable you know that joe biden has shamefully betrayed america's youth and he is cruelly keeping our children locked in their homes no reason for it whatsoever they want to get out they're cheating the next generation of americans out of the future that they deserve and they do deserve this future they're going to grow up and they're going to have a scar it's a scandal of the highest order and one of the most craven acts by any president in our lifetimes it's the teachers union it's the votes and it shouldn't happen and i have nobody has more respect for teachers than i do and i'll bet you a lot of the people within that union they agree with everything i'm saying even the new york times is calling out the democrats the mental and physical health of these young people is reaching a breaking point tragically suicide attempts have skyrocketed and student depression is now commonplace and at levels that we've never seen before the democrats now say we have to pass their 1.9 trillion dollar boondoggle to open schools but a very small part of it has to do with that you know where it's going it's going to bail out badly run democrat cities so much of it but billions of dollars for schools remain unspent from the covert relief bills that were passed last year so on behalf of the moms dads and children of america i call on joe biden to get the schools open and get them open now be a great thing to do when i left office and were very proud of this because this was something that they said could not be done the fda said it everybody said it any article you read said it couldn't be done it would be years and years i handed the new administration what everyone is now calling a modern day medical miracle some say it's the greatest thing to happen in hundreds of years hundreds of years two vaccines produced in record time with numerous others on the way including the johnson and johnson vaccine that was approved just yesterday and therapeutic relief also if you're sick if you're sick we have things now that are incredible what has taken place over the last year under our administration would have taken any other president at least five years and we got it done in nine months everyone says five years five years can you imagine if you had to go through what all of the countries of the world who are now getting the vaccine or soon will be getting it from various companies but can you imagine if all of those countries had to go through what they've been going through over the last year you'd lose hundreds of millions of people i pushed the fda like they have never been pushed before they told me that loud and clear they have never been pushed like i pushed them i didn't like them at all but once we got it done i said i now love you very much what the trump administration has done with vaccines has in many respects perhaps saved large portions of the world not only our country but large portions of the world [Applause] not only did we push the fda far beyond what the bureaucrats wanted to do we also put up billions and billions of dollars 10 billion to produce the vaccines before we knew they were going to work it was called a calculated bet or a calculated risk we took a risk because if we didn't do that you still wouldn't have the vaccines you wouldn't have them for a long time so think of that we took this this bet we made a bet because we thought we were on a certain track but you'd be starting to make them right now would be a long time before you ever saw them it takes 60 to 100 days to manufacture and inspect new doses and that means that 100 of the increased availability that we have now was initiated by our administration 100 [Applause] in fact the director of national institutes of health francis collins he's fouchy's boss actually i think he's a democrat too by the way recently said that our operation warp speed was absolutely breathtaking and that the trump administration deserves full credit which we do and as conservatives and republicans never forget that we did it never let them take the credit because they don't deserve the credit they just followed now they're following our plan but this has been something that they really call they call it a an absolute miracle joe biden is only implementing the plan that we put in place and if we had an honest media which we don't they would say it loud and clear by the time i left that magnificent house at 1600 pennsylvania avenue almost 20 million americans had already been vaccinated 1.5 million doses were administered on my final day alone 1.5 million in a day yet biden said just a few days ago that when he got here meaning the white house there was no vaccine he said there's no vaccine oh good say it again joe now i don't think he said that frankly in a malicious way i really don't i actually believe he said that because he didn't really know what the hell was happening but never let them forget this was us we did this and the distribution is moving along according to our plan and it's moving along really well we had the military what they've done our generals and all of the people what they've done is incredible but remember you know we took care of a lot of people including i guess on december 21st we took care of joe biden because he got his shot he got his vaccine he forgot it shows you how unpainful that vaccine shot is so everybody go get your he forgot so it wasn't very traumatic obviously but he got a shot and it's good that he got a shot last year i predicted to you that the extremist corruption and incompetence of the biden administration would be literally unprecedented in american history unfortunately he has proven me 100 percent right already as president biden has urged congress to pass legislation shredding your second amendment your second amendment is in far bigger trouble than you know and for four years i fought like hell to save your second amendment and we saved it 100 percent we saved it he signed an order to conduct correct far-left indoctrination trainings in every department of the federal government including the u.s military after i had terminated these horrible things that were being preached to our military and he wants it to go forward it's insane within his first few hours biden eliminated our national security travel bans or nations plagued by terrorism his first priority was to open our borders to unvetted travelers from libya yemen syria somalia and many other countries where strict vetting cannot occur countries that have tremendous problems countries with tremendous terrorism problems we did a travel ban it was a real achievement we told those countries sorry straighten out your act we don't want people coming in where they had an ideology or a problem we just couldn't have it and it was incredible how it worked was incredible and he terminated it we had to get it approved it went all the way up to the supreme court of the united states we got it approved and he terminates it in addition he's already increased refugee admissions by nearly 10 times but in effect it'll soon be hundreds of times as millions of people flow up through our soon-to-be open borders and by the way the border patrol and isis are some of the great heroes of our country these are incredible people i got to know him very well your family still cannot go out to eat at local restaurants but joe biden is bringing in thousands upon thousands of refugees from all over the world people that nobody knows anything about we don't have crime records we don't have health records what are they bringing in with them when i left office we had virtually ended the endless wars these endless wars they go on forever they go on forever i would go to dover and i would see caskets coffins coming in i'd see the parents and the wives and husbands i would see the kids endless wars 19 years in afghanistan we have it down to almost nothing left and i hear they might want to go back in iraq remember i used to say don't go in but if you're going to go in keep the oil well we went in and we didn't keep the oil we had made historic peace deals in the middle east like nobody thought were even possible with not a drop of bloodshed and by the way not one american soldier has been killed in afghanistan in over a year think of that not one those troops have largely come home at the same time the new administration unilaterally withdrew our crippling sanctions on iran foolishly giving away all of america's leverage before negotiations have even begun leave the sanctions negotiated does anybody understand what i'm saying here are there any good business people you don't have to be a good are there any bad business people they took off the sanctions they took off the sanctions they said well we're going to not have any sanctions let's negotiate a deal i don't know matt schlapp i don't think you would have done that do you think so man i don't think so mercedes wouldn't that now you do that you make a deal and then you do it they wanted i will tell you something and i said it had we had a fair election the results would have been much different and we would have had a deal we would have had a deal with iran within the first week they wanted those sanctions off he took them off for nothing for nothing now you watch how tough they negotiate in another horrendous surrender he agreed to get back into the world health organization for approximately 500 million dollars a year which is what we were paying when i withdrew from the w.h.o and you know the whole story with that they called it badly they really are puppets for china they called and they wanted us to stay in i said how much are we paying approximately 500 million dollars how much is china paying a much larger in terms of population country sir they're paying 39 million i said why are we paying 500 million and they're paying 39. i could tell you why because the people that made the deal is stupid that's why so so and i had no idea how popular it was i didn't even know if i would be able to politically because people were so happy when i did get out but i said so we went in we could get it for 39 million which is what china not 500 million which is what we were stupidly paying and they said we can make a deal we want you to go in we can make a deal okay and i did i decided not to do it but we could have had it for 39 we could could've had it for the same as china and they decide now to go back into the world health organization and pay 500 million what the hell is wrong with them no no this is just this is just emblematic it's a tremendous amount of money but compared to trillions it's not but it's a tremendous amount of money why would china pay 39 million and we're paying almost 500 million why so we could have made the same deal that china had 39 million and they just say we're going back in we're going back into the world health organization they go back in they pay 500. it is so sad just like the iran and the world health organization joe biden put the united states back into the very unfair and very costly paris climate accord without negotiating a better deal they wanted us so badly back in i'll tell you they wanted us i was getting called from all of the countries you must come back into the paris accord i said tell me why give me one good reason first of all china doesn't kick in for 10 years russia goes by an old standard which was not a clean standard in other countries but we get hit right from the beginning would have cost us hundreds of thousands and millions of jobs it was a disaster but they go back in i could have made an unbelievable deal and gone back in but i didn't want to do that surrending millions of jobs and trillions of dollars to all of these other countries almost all of them that were in the deal so they have favorable treatment we don't have favorable treatment and we just said we're going back in to go back in they wanted us so badly you could have negotiated if you wanted to go back in which frankly we have the cleanest air the cleanest water and everything else that we've ever had so i don't know why we have to and what good does it do when we're clean but china's not and russia's not and india is not so they are pouring fumes you know the world is actually a small piece of the universe right they're pouring fumes and we're trying to protect everything and building products for three times more than is necessary no they could have made a great deal if they were going to go back in that's fine but they could have made a great deal instead of just say we're back in these people and in one of his first official acts which was incredible because again he talked about energy he never said he was going to do this he cancelled the keystone xl pipeline destroying not the 8 000 or the 9 000 or the 11 000 jobs that you hear but 42 000 great paying jobs on just about day one right he never talked about that during a debate because he wouldn't have gotten away with it well he would have because they cheated so much it probably wouldn't have been no but that was not a topic of conversation remember fracking you can frack oh we love fracking during the primary no fracking as soon as he got through that he said no of course everybody can break no fracking you wait do you see what happens with your gasoline when you see what happens and we cannot let this stuff continue to go on one of my proudest accomplishments as president was to make america energy independent the united states became the number one energy superpower on earth number one became number one bigger than saudi arabia bigger than russia by a lot we left them all in the dust they were all in the dust but if the democrats have their way we are heading from energy dominance to energy disaster that's what's happening you have to see what's going on everything's being closed up it's a disaster the blackouts we saw in california last summer and all the time and the windmill calamity that we're witnessing in texas great state of texas we love texas but it's so sad when you look at it that'll just be the start how bad is wind power so i talk about it all the time at cpac right we went to cpac remember last i said we're going to watch the president well uh alice the wind isn't blowing i don't believe we'll have any electricity remember we would we would kid but i wasn't actually kidding it's such an important such an expensive form of energy it's so bad for the environment it kills the birds it destroys the landscapes and remember these are structural columns with fans on them they wear out and when they wear out all over the country you see them nobody takes them down they're rotting they're rusting how this is environmentally good for our country and it costs many many times more than natural gas which is clean it costs many more and can fuel our great factories wind can't do that and and solar i love solar but it doesn't have the capacity to do what we have to do to make america great again sorry it just doesn't happen under the radical democrat policies the price of gasoline has already surged thirty percent since the election and will go to five dollars six dollars seven dollars and even higher so enjoy that when you go to the pump and they'll say that'll be about uh two hundred dollars to fill up your van you'll go to this remember this used to go to the little small vans they got away from the big ones that everybody wanted they went to the small ones well you know what probably a good investment as long as these guys have their say because you know it's it's a shame what's happening energy prices are going to go through the roof and that includes your electric bills that includes any bill having to do with energy our biggest cause we will now be relying on russia and the middle east for oil and they talk about russia russia russia what's better than what this guy's done for russia i had oil where they were actually paying you to take it okay you know that was a little remember they were going to give you 37 a barrel but got to take it away you had free oil almost for a period of time and one way i was proud of it but we also had to save the energy industry and it worked out well and i dealt with russia and saudi arabia and they cut back on production and we got it back up but now it's going the opposite because now they're taking this incredible energy independence away from the people of our country and you're going to see costs go like you have never seen them go before it's a very sad and very stupid thing that they're doing the biden policies are a massive win for other oil producing countries and a massive loss for the united states and our great citizens joe biden and the democrats are even pushing policies that would destroy women's sports [Applause] a lot of new records are being broken in women's sports hate to say that ladies but got a lot of new records they're being shattered you know for years the weightlifting every ounce is like a big deal for many years all of a sudden somebody comes along and beats it by a hundred pounds now young girls and women are in sense that they are now being forced to compete against those who are biological males it's not good for women it's not good for women's sports which worked so long and so hard to get to where they are the records that stood for years even decades are now being smashed with ease smashed if this has not changed women's sports as we know it will die they'll end it'll end what coach if i'm a coach you know i want to be a great coach what coach as an example wants to recruit a young woman to compete if her record can easily be broken by somebody who was born a man not too many of those coaches around right they are around they won't be around long because they're going to have a big problem when their record is we're oh and 16 but we're getting better no i think it's crazy i think it's just crazy what's happening we must protect the integrity of women's sports so important after and i don't even know is that controversial no somebody said well that's going to be very controversial i said that's okay you haven't heard anything yet as you can see the early weeks of the biden administration of nothing less than they've been a catastrophe for american workers and for american families the task of our mission and for us it's our movement as i said a movement like has never been seen i think we can probably say never been seen anywhere in the world i mean nobody's ever seen a movement like this i i'd grow up and i'd watch somebody who came in second in new hampshire or first in iowa and that was the end and they became famous for the rest of their lives we won the election twice i mean you know think about it the task for our movement and our party is to stand up to this destructive agenda with confidence and with resolve the future of the republican party is as a party that defends the social economic and cultural interests and values of working american families of every race color and creed that's why the party is growing so rapidly and it's becoming a different party and it's becoming a party of love you have to see outside the streets i mean there's such love the flag amazing [Applause] you know it's a party that's incredible the people the spirit and there as you probably heard a little while ago i mean there's more spirit now than there's ever been including even before the election more spirit now than we've ever seen because people are seeing how bad it can be and again i want to thank rush and catherine because what he did to get the word out has been incredible some people are irreplaceable as sean hannity would say and he said rush is irreplaceable but his spirit lives on and that's something that we need and we love republicans believe that the needs of every citizen must come first in fact america must come first we don't put it first they don't put it first over the past four years my administration delivered for americans of all backgrounds like never before like never before we built the strongest economy in the history of the world raised wages and achieved the lowest african-american hispanic hispanic-american asian-american unemployment rates ever ever ever recorded it was so great for everybody of all backgrounds that even after the china virus we are leading the world nobody's even close we're leading it in the comeback our economic comeback has been incredible that's because the financial and economic foundation we built was so strong that unlike other countries were having a hard time we didn't break we came roaring back and now our stock market and your 401ks are again at record levels higher than ever before actually many people have asked what is trumpism a new term being used more and more i'm hearing that term more and more i didn't come up with it but what it means is great deals great trade deals great ones not deals where we give away everything or jobs or money like the usmca replacement of the horrible nafta nafta was one of the worst deals ever made probably the worst trade deal ever made and we ended it you know a lot of people forget we ended it now we have the us mca mexico canada it's incredible what it's done for our farmers who are doing fantastically did you see grain prices and grain sales are at an all-time high wheat all-time high so many elements of farms and farmers and they love me and remember it's going to be very close in iowa well it wasn't close we won in a landslide iowa because our farmers know and they put up with it and we did a lot of work with the tariffs and all these things that we had to do to get it and now the farmers are doing great but they're setting records it means low taxes and eliminating job-killing regulations trumpism it means strong borders but people coming into our country based on a system of merit so they come in and they can help us as opposed to coming here and not being good for us including criminals of which there are many it means no riots in the streets it means law enforcement it means very strong protection for the second amendment and the right to keep and bear arms it means support for the forgotten men and women who have been taken advantage of for so many years and they were doing great they were doing great before that horrible thing from china came in and hit us and now they're starting to do really well again you know if you think about it we built the economy twice we built it then and then like every other country in the world it went down and then we built it again now it's higher in many ways certainly in the stock market it's higher in many ways than it was before that's because of the foundation and no country comes even close to competing with our comeback and it means a strong military and taking care of our vets but a strong military which we have totally rebuilt we have rebuilt it and our military has never been stronger than it is today it was tired it was depleted it was obsolete and now we have the best brand new equipment ever made and it was all produced right here in the usa isn't that nice and we take care of our vets you know we had a poll recently just before leaving office the vets had a 91 approval rating for the way we took care of them that's the highest number in the history of the polls the vet polls on top of all of that we have even created the space force the first new branch of the united states military in nearly 75 years the mission of the democrat party is to brought socialism they want to promote socialism ultimately leading unfortunately to communism and that will happen if you look at venezuela you look at some of these countries that's why some of our biggest supporters are from south america latin america because they've seen what goes on with all of this cancer culture and you can't speak and let's cut them off and let's not give them words the mission of our movement and of the republican party must be to create a future of good jobs strong families safe communities a vibrant culture and a great nation for all americans and that's what we're creating their party is based upon unvarnished disdain for america its past and its people you see that happening it's horrible the way they treat the legacy of our country the culture of our country our party is based on love for america and the belief that this is an exceptional nation blessed by god we take great pride in our country we teach the truth about history we celebrate our rich heritage and national traditions we honor george washington abraham lincoln thomas jefferson and all national heroes and of course we respect our great american flag thank you thank you very much thank you very much [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] thank you very much i started that hearing we really were were getting word of that hearing that during some of the rallies especially the latter rallies where we set records we had 56 unbelievable packed rallies and nobody's ever had anything like we had and we started hearing we love you and i asked somebody you know because we really liked ronald reagan right he was a great president we had others but i said did anybody ever say that to ronald reagan or to any of our great and to the best of all of these political professionals knowledge and pollsters nobody's ever heard that chant before man so it's an honor it's believe me it's an honor great honor it's a great honor you know when you think about we love you you're saying that about i hate to say it am i a politician i don't know maybe i'm a problem i hate to i hate to admit it but that's really it's an honor that you would say we believe in patriotic education and strongly oppose the radical indoctrination of america's youth horrible we are committed to defending innocent life and to upholding the judeo-christian values of our founders and of our founding we embrace free thought we stand up to political correctness and we reject left-wing lunacy and in particular we reject cancer culture we know that the rule of law is the ultimate safeguard and we affirm that the constitution means exactly what it says as written as written they want to change it they want to change it they want to get rid of it frankly we believe in law and order and we believe that the men and women of law enforcement are heroes who truly deserve our absolute support we don't defund the police we are not defunding we believe in standing up to china shutting down outsourcing bringing back our factories and supply chains and ensuring that america not china dominates the future of the world that's what's going to happen and by the way we took in hundreds of billions of dollars from china during my administration hundreds of they never gave us 10 cents it was a one-way street we took in hundreds of billions and during negotiations they would say look the one thing we don't want any more of these tariffs these tariffs those tariffs we took in so much money and what happened is they became competitive so what happened with people they wouldn't go to china they'd build a lot of it back in our country they would make it here instead and in addition to that we would take it in billions and billions and billions of dollars from china but in all fairness to china they we made a trade deal with them this was prior to covet once covert happened i no longer cared so much about the trade deal because what happened with that was just disgraceful but that's one of the things that's one of the reasons that right now our farmers are doing so good i used to celebrate look look go and get a lot of wheat get a lot of different things all of the things we just talked about you better go out and do it because this country has not been treated fairly by you for many many years many many years we used to lose 504 billion dollars trade deficit with john 500 for not million 504 million a lot right you know that through the world health organization now take 504 million make it 504 billion dollars we had deficits with china it was absolutely insane that this could keep going on it's amazing that you still have a country left the people that did this to our country they should be ashamed of themselves they should be ashamed companies that leave america to create jobs in china and other countries that have ripped us off for years should not be rewarded they should be tariffed fined and punished they should not be rewarded [Applause] and that's what the biden administration that's what the biden administration is doing but of course as you know they have a very close personal relationship with china so i don't i don't expect much to happen it's a shame because it really is a threat it's a tremendous economic threat and thank god we've rebuilt our military but it's a tremendous economic threat never forget it these are the convictions that define our movement today and must define the republican party in the years ahead very simple it's really quite simple isn't it another one of the most urgent issues facing the republican party is that of ensuring fair honest and secure elections such a disgrace such a disgrace [Applause] such a disgrace we must pass comprehensive election reforms and we must do it now the democrats use the china virus as an excuse to change all of the election rules without the approval of their state legislatures making it therefore illegal it had a massive impact on the election again you have to go to the legislatures to get these approvals this alone would have easily changed the outcome of the election at levels that you wouldn't have even believed even with covid even with all of the things the numbers are staggering we can never let this or other abuses of the 2020 election be repeated or happen again can never let that happen again you see what's going on we've been set back so greatly with other countries and with the world we need election integrity and election reform immediately republicans should be the party of honest elections that can give everyone confidence in the future of our country without honest elections who has confidence who has confidence this issue is being studied and examined but the reality is you cannot have a situation where ballots are indiscriminately pouring in from all over the country tens of millions of ballots where are they coming from they're coming all over the place where illegal aliens and dead people are voting and many other horrible things are happening that are too voluminous to even mention but people know i mean it's being studied and the level of dishonesty is not to be believed we have a very sick and corrupt electoral process that must be fixed immediately this election was rigged and the supreme court and other courts didn't want to do anything about it two [Applause] if you just take that one element where they didn't go through legislatures it's illegal you can't do it it's in the constitution they didn't have the courage the supreme court they didn't have the courage to act but instead used process and lack of standing i was told the president of the united states has no standing it's my election it's your election we have no standing we had almost 20 if you think of it we had almost 20 states go into the supreme court so that we didn't have a standing problem they rejected it they rejected it they should be ashamed of themselves for what they've done to our country they didn't have the guts or the courage to make the right decision they didn't want to talk about it you had the case led by the great state of texas 18 states went in you don't have standing oh let's not talk about it they didn't have the guts to do what should be done and that's on top of all of the other forms of cheating but this is the most basic of all they would have local courts and local politicians change the rules in some cases a day or two before the election they should never be allowed to happen to another presidential candidate or presidential race should never be allowed to happen today i want to outline the steps that we must take to have an election system in this country that is honest fair and accurate we need one election day not 45 30. one day like it's been and the republicans don't get this and the other things i'm going to say that you should like the supreme court be ashamed of yourselves one day one day and the only people that should be allowed to vote by mail are people that can so former u.s president donald trump making his first public appearances leaving the white house at a cpac conference of american conservatives there he started by asking hello cpac do you miss me yet and he talked about the incredible journey we've begun together four years ago is far from being over and he said our very identity as americans is at stake he said he wouldn't start a new party he said we have the republican party but he did say as far as the democrats are concerned i may well decide to beat them for a third time giving his audience a hint he could run again but also repeating his lie that he won the election in november 2020 more analysis of his speech coming up in the next hour along with the top stories
