Trump Closes Iowa Rally Vowing Voter ID, Sanctuary City Ban, 'Save America Act'; Claims Iran War Will Be Over 'Very Soon'

The president told a Dubuque crowd Republican control of Congress is needed to enact an immigration and election agenda, while defending his handling of prices and the war with Iran.

DUBUQUE, Iowa — President Donald Trump ended a rally of more than two hours here by telling Iowans that if they elect a Republican House and Senate on Nov. 3, "we will continue to put America first every single day," and pledging to pass voter identification, proof-of-citizenship requirements and the Save America Act, ban sanctuary cities and write a ban on men in women's sports into permanent law.

Iran war, prices and the economy

Trump said the war with Iran would end soon and that gas prices would fall afterward. "It's gonna be over very soon," he said, adding that gasoline would drop back to "the $1 and 85 cents that I saw in Iowa." He called higher oil prices "a very small price to pay for the security of this country and for the world."

Trump said he had "inherited high prices from sleepy Joe Biden" and claimed inflation over the last three months was 1.7 percent. He also said income had "soared to the highest level ever recorded." Later he said Venezuela had paid "10 times over" for the cost of the Iran war, saying of Venezuela: "we won the war in Venezuela in one day." He also said Maduro "is now awaiting trial." Those figures and the claim about the cost of the war are Trump's own and were not independently verified in the transcript.

He announced a "harvest fuel relief program" providing farmers $8 billion to offset diesel costs, including what he estimated at $400 million for Iowa farmers. He also said Democrats "hate farmers."

Midterm message and the Republican agenda

Trump framed the election as a choice between "the radical Democrat communist" and Republicans, saying Democrats would raise taxes by $5 trillion and give 25 million "illegal aliens amnesty and the right to vote." He said every Democrat in Congress voted against Republican tax cuts, including no tax on tips, overtime and Social Security, and against voter ID and proof of citizenship.

In his closing list, he said Republicans would pass the "no invasion of our country act," ban sanctuary cities and pass the death penalty for large-scale drug dealers, human traffickers and anyone who kills a police officer. He urged supporters to vote Republican and said he expected "a tremendous victory on Tuesday."

Candidates, allies and a Greenland aside

Trump endorsed Ashley Hinson for Senate and Zach Lane for governor and also named House candidates and incumbents, including Joe Mitchell, Chris McGowan, Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Zach Nunn. He praised House Speaker Mike Johnson, Majority Leader Steve Scalise, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, envoy Steve Witkoff and Sens. Chuck Grassley and John Barrasso, and invited wrestling coach Dan Gable on stage.

Trump also said the U.S. had acquired Greenland "for $0" and that his deal there is "forever and ever." He said Denmark "was terrific."

Trump spent a long stretch on transgender athletes in women's sports, recounting a weightlifting story. After the rally he was set to fly to Kansas.

And I announced a harvest fuel relief program.

providing our farmers with $8 billion in addition to what I said to offset

Diesel costs in this harvest season, including an estimated $400 million.

for Iowa farmers, which is a lot. We made the largest ever investment in the

U.S. armed forces, over $1 trillion. We captured and brought to justice.

The outlaw dictator of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, who is now awaiting

Trial. And we won the war in Venezuela in one

day, and we're now working with them to produce millions and millions of barrels of

Oil, which is flowing into our country. You know, I watched this total loser. He's a congressman.

named Roe Connor. He's on Fox all the time. What's that all

About? What the hell is that? And he said, "Donald Trump has spent

$25 billion on his war with

Iran. And nobody says anything. And he just keeps going on. Nobody told him.

That we've made 10 times that amount with our war on

Venezuela, with our acquisition for zero

dollars of Greenland. You know, we got Greenland, the press, we got Greenland.

Member?

We have billions and billions and billions of dollars of

Oil flowing in from Venezuela. Greenland is another one, like Alaska. Greenland's

Another big thing, and what we did with Alaska, which was absolutely dead until I

came along, as we have pipelines going into going to ships that go to

Japan, South Korea, China, and many others. We're making, in other words, we're making

a fortune. Our country is making a fortune. And that price at the

Prices will be coming down very, very shortly.

And everything else is part?

And I terminated Barack Hussein Obama's JCPOA, or

The Iran nuclear deal, which was a road, an absolute road. They would have

Right now. You know, that deal expired three years ago if I didn't terminate it, which I did.

But that it was a terrible deal. It was a road to a nuclear weapon. It

Expired three years ago. It was a short-term deal. Countries can't make short-term

Deals. You know how long my deal is with Greenland? Infinite. Infinite.

forever. It's not a hundred years. It's not, I mean, that one

was like 8 years. You don't make 8 countries. Don't make 8-year deals. Countries don't do

that. But no, my deal on Greenland is forever, forever and ever. What a

Deal. And we got along great with Denmark. Denmark was terrific, and the European

Union was, I disagree with what they do. They got to be a little bit, a lot tougher on

Immigration. Otherwise, you look at what's happening in France, we're never going to let that happen here, we'll stop it.

Fast.

We obliterated Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity with Operation Midnight Hammer.

Hammer and Operation Epic Fury, they didn't know what the hell hit them, and defeated them.

Military, financially, and otherwise. And I paid for the cost of the war ten times.

over with Venezuela alone. And by the way, Venezuela, one-day war,

Nobody killed. If you look at Iran.

You know, you look at these wars, look at these wars. I have a

Chart. Vietnam, 21 years, thousands and thousands of people kill, hundreds of

Thousands of people killed in Afghanistan, years and

years, and then we never fight to win. We don't fight to win, we fight to

Die. I don't know what we do. There's stupid, stupid presidents. But Afghanistan, we could have won.

That. I could have won that war in three weeks. I could have won the Vietnam War in a

Week. You know, they drop whatever the hell that red

Crap is that they dropped, kept dropping it in the forest.

Agent Orange, even though it's red. Agent Orange, they drop it in the

forest for years and years and years instead of going after Hochi

Minh City and the different places, I would have won that war in one week. I would have won

the war in Afghanistan in a very short period of time. And the only reason why not

Finished with Iran. Is I want to be nice? I want to try and save all those lives if I can.

And they're sitting there with a very bad, but at some point we're going to have to give them the

Hammer. Most of it's gone. Their

Ships, their airplanes, most of it's gone. I got most favored

Nations' agreements. And you know, if you do anything else but this.

You should win the midterms. Because for years we had the highest drug prices anywhere in the

world by far. They never came down, they were always the highest. And I cut drug

prices. We had the highest prices anywhere in the world, and now we have the

lowest drug prices anywhere in the world. And to do that, to do

That, I had to get countries to raise the price of their drugs, and they wouldn't do

it. Like I spoke to friends, uh, President Macron, Macron.

Beautiful accent. And he goes, "No, no, no, I cannot do that." I said, "No,

Emmanuel, you're gonna have to raise the price of your drugs because you're getting a

Bargain. For instance, a pill that costs $10 in France would cost

$130 in New York, in

Washington, Los Angeles, in Iowa, cost $130.

It costs 13 times more. It's not fair. They said, "Well, research and development. They do also

All sorts of reasons, ridiculous. No other president ever tried it. I got it.

reduced by 300, 400, 500, 600, even

700%. Nobody's ever, in 31 years, it's never.

gone down. And I

Said to Macron and the others, I said, "You're going to have to raise the price of your drugs."

They said, of course, they said this. "No way, we're not going to do that." "Yes, you're going

to do it, Emmanuel. If you don't do it, I'm going to put a massive tariff on everything.

coming in from your country into the United States, including wine and champagne. They view

That was very, that's a big one for them. And I said it'll be at least

a hundred percent, maybe two hundred percent. Uh, Donald, like I said, I would love to raise the price of our

drugs. And I did that with every freaking country. You know, the reason I

Got it from the, I got it from the drug companies because they knew I couldn't get it from the country, so they didn't care too.

Much. And then I got it from all the countries, and the drug companies said, "We didn't figure that."

One. And what we did is we lowered your price of drugs by 70, 80, and

90%. What a difference it's going to make. And it's already happened. And

On that reason alone, Mike, you should win the midterms. Ashley, you don't use that a

lot because, for that reason alone, you're going to win the midterms, because there's nothing

Bigger. And the fake news doesn't want to talk about it. We abolished all discriminatory

Diversity, equity, and inclusion policies throughout the federal government.

We got critical race theory and transgender insanity out of

Our school. And we made English the official language of the United

U.S.

States.

See you now, I'm a bad.

I'm not sure if I can do it.

Everything. But remember, just recently I gave all members of our

Military, $1,776, as opponents.

And the Democrats said it'll never be done. And I told

You. The story was 1775. General, what can we

Do? They came back the following day. These guys, central casting. I could make movie stars at three of

them. Sure, we could do

$1,775. I said, "General, do you know what you just said?" No,

Sir. I said, one more dollar at $17.76. Think of

$70. Do you know what that means? Yes, sir. Can we scrounge up an

Extra dollar, General? Make it 7, and we did it, and they got their money a year ago, and every

Soldier thanks me every time I see him. So we can do the $5,000 worth.

So it's $5,000. Of course, the Trump dividend is

approximately $1 trillion, but the wealth of the United States since my election is

Up $25 trillion. So this is $1 trillion.

The only caveat of the Trump dividend is that you

Can only get the money if you're going to spend it in the United States of America.

We don't want you, we don't want you going to China.

to Japan. We don't want you to go to France. So let's go to France and have a nice

Time. We can study revolution, darling. We can see how revolution works.

You have to spend the money in the United States of America, and the choice is very

Simple in this election. You could vote for the radical Democrats, communists, to loot your

Wealth, raise your taxes by $5 trillion, annihilate your

Borders, decimate Iowa farms and factories, mutilate your children, and give $25

million illegal aliens amnesty and the right to vote. They want

These people coming in, so they have the right to vote. They want to give them

amnesty, and many of these people are killers, drug

Dealers, people from mental institutions, and almost all of them

were released from jails all over the world. Or you can defeat the

Democrat Communist and vote for more money in your pockets, bigger paychecks for your families, lower

taxes, less crime, a booming Iowa economy, no

Amnesty for illegal aliens. But you must, you have to vote.

You have to vote for Republicans if you're going to do that. So every single Democrat in

Congress voted against our tax cuts. They voted against no tax

On tips. 100%, right, Mike? 100%. I

Don't mean one or two, 100% voted against no tax on

overtime, and they all voted against no tax on Social Security for our

Seniors. And by the way, they want to change it so you pay in all those things. The reason, one of the

Reasons our economy is taught to believe, it sort of doesn't make sense, but it does really.

You pay less taxes, you work harder, you do things. I don't know. We're doing much more income.

Now, taking in less tax than we did if we raised the taxes. They voted against

voter ID because they wanted cheap. They voted against proof of citizenship because they

want to cheat. They voted against securing our border.

Millions, 25 million people came in over four years. No

People have come into our country in the last 18 months.

They voted in favor of the worst.

inflation and highest energy costs in American history in favor of

transgender mutilation of your children, in favor of men playing in women's sports, on

Election night, Iowa is going to prove that America does not belong to those who hate.

It. America belongs to those who love it.

And the only choice for your next senator is Ashley Hinson, and your next

Governor is Zach Lane. So, Ashley and Zach, please come

Up.

Well, thank you, Mr. President, for working so hard for Iowans. Do we know how hard this man works for

Us? That's right.

Well, I can tell you, Mr. President, I know how late nights you're working, how early mornings you're putting

in. My opponent, Josh Turek, not only is he too liberal for Iowa, he didn't skip, he

or skipped a lot of his votes, right? He missed 58% of his votes at the state capitol this year. What happens when you

Don't show up to work two out of every five days? You're getting fired, right? You're

not getting promoted. So, common sense versus crazy is on the ballot. We need to defy

Chuck Schumer. Are you going to show up and help us get that done on Tuesday? Thank you very much.

Iowans, President Trump could be anywhere in the country right

Now, but he is here in Iowa because Iowa matters that much to him.

He shows it, $15 billion steel plant.

Right here in the state of Iowa, for Iowa jobs, for Iowa kids, for Iowa opportunity. That's you.

Mr. President, you did that.

But let me tell you something else. You know, he's

Sometimes a bit modest in how he speaks. He doesn't give himself credit like he should.

Because just a couple days ago, your FBI, Mr. President,

announced that they were prosecuting Somali fraud in Minnesota and issuing

search warrants. That was you, Mr. President.

500

million, and I have a feeling that's just the tip of the iceberg. This man is not going to stop. I promise you

that. But neither are we. Look, this is our moment, Iowa. This is

It. They all think that we're not motivated. Are we motivated? That's

Right. And here's something.

I got to tell you, when I look out over this crowd, you know what I love seeing?

You know what my friend, our friend Charlie Kirk, would love seeing? All the young people here today to

Support America.

You are fighting, you are fighting, you are sleeping, you are fighting, you are sad, you are scared, you are fighting, you are

So, just as this president has supported Iowa, we have to go out.

And show that we are dedicated to the next generation, that we are not going to let this place fall to

socialism, communism, whatever it might be. We are going to be out on November 3rd and we are going

To win these races.

Thank you both. Thank you. Great.

People. Hey, I gave up a lot. I've been here a few times. We've got to win.

We gotta win. You know, if I didn't care, or if I didn't see what the progress you've made.

Is incredible. We have to keep it going. Even at higher levels, that's what's going to happen.

So, also get out and vote for a fantastic guy, Joe Mitchell,

Here in the Second Congressional District.

Great guy, Chris.

McGowan for the fourth district. He's doing great.

and re-elect a person

That's really terrific, works so hard, and she's really become a

Friend. Representative Marionette Miller-Meeks.

And a great guy, a great

Warrior, Zach Nunn. Great

Job, sir. Great job. And Iowa attorney

General, this is your talk about a friend. She's been with me for a long time. Brennan

Bird. Love her. Thank you. Thank you,

Brennan. Thanks as well. I have to thank the Speaker of the House. He really

He's one of the probably most respected people there is anywhere in the country.

Mike Johnson, thank you very much.

And another great friend of mine, House Majority Leader, Steve

Scalese. You talk about a strong

You know, Steve was the one who was so badly shot by that

lunatic during the little baseball field situation, and I

Went to the hospital that night, and the doctor said, "Almost no chance that he

survives. And his wife, Jennifer, I mean, the only good thing is that I

Realized how much she loved him, because who the hell knows about a wife loving? I don't know.

Some do, some don't. She was so devastated. I've had people that were on the

deathbed, and the wife doesn't give a damn, and I'm not. And she was

Literally, we thought it was not going to make it. The doctor said he's never seen such blood.

loss and they had to replace the blood. They've never, I think he said it was a record. He said, very

Small chance, sir. We're going to do the best we could. The wife, she was the whole

Family, just devastated. Couldn't speak, couldn't do anything. When he finally

Got to where you could talk to him, I said, "Well, at least you have a wife that loves you. That's good."

But Steve went through hell and

He recovered, and it was amazing that he recovered, and then he went to the

baseball game like the following year. That recovery was tough. And yet he

Worked. He walked around. He could hardly walk. He was really hit badly. The

I mean, nobody gave him much of a chance. And they put him at second.

base during the game, and they had a lot of people. It's a good game between the Democrats and the

Republicans. It's sort of a tradition for many, many decades. And Steve was a good

player, but you know, he didn't have exactly great mobility. He couldn't even walk. And they put him

In second base, and this was only a few months later, four months later, and he

Really, could barely do anything. I don't even know who the hell the coach is that put you

there. There's a second baseman named Bobby Richardson. He was with the Yankees for like 14,

He was known for range. He could feel the ball at shortstop. He could feel it.

This was not Bobby Richardson. Bobby Richardson, right?

MVP, but Steve was in second base. And this could only happen to

US. The first batter gets up. Strong guy, Democrat. First

pitch ripped, ripped. Ground ball ripped right at Steve. The

Good news, he didn't have to move. He got down on his knees. The ball hit him really

Hard. He picked the ball, threw it to free. You know, the stitches, the

Guys, bleeding, all. He threw it to first base. He was out, and they

Took Steve out of the game. They said, "Congratulations." It was the craziest thing.

Right?

And then on top of it, he had a very tough battle with a thing called the Big C, not

Good. And he's cancer-free. Got to go check the

Right? And Mike Durant, and Mike loves

you. And during this whole time, Mike said, "I can't believe the guy works as hard as anybody can work."

And so these warriors, these are great, it's a great honor, Steve. I'm telling you, Mike

And I were talking about it before. Amazing what you went through. I don't think almost

Anybody could have done what you did. Thank you for being here. Appreciate it.

And we have Secretary of the Interior, Doug Burgum, and his wife,

Catherine, who's incredible, by the way. What a couple this is, and great job he's

Done. My friend, he's my friend, she's my friend. I watched

him, you know, he was the governor of North Dakota, and he was a spectacular

Governor, one of the most successful governors in the country. I said, "Boy, if I ever win this thing, I'm going to use him."

for something. And I was able to get him. And the Department of the Interior,

where he has a big impact on Iowa, and he pretty much gives you everything you want when it comes to

The farmers in Iowa, Nebraska, the whole group. So I just want to thank you, Doc.

Doing a great job. Does a great job. And my

Special envoy, he's a great negotiator. He's doing unbelievable things.

He helped us with Venezuela, helped us with a lot. He's now working on Iran.

and he'll pull it off too. If one way or the other, we're going to pull it off. Even if he doesn't, we'll pull it

Off. We'll do it a little bit tougher way. But Steve Witkoff has been

Fantastic. So I wonder.

And I said something about it before, but I will tell you that Chuck Grassley is one of the

most respected men in the history of the United States Senate, and it's an

Honor to have him with us tonight with his beautiful wife. Beautiful

Wife. Thank you, Chuck. He's a great guy. He's

A great, strong man who loves. He loves Iowa.

Another man who's so respected, the whole country respects him.

But he's a special guy, he's become a friend of mine. He's the doctor, and there's nobody that knows more.

About medicine. When we got the most favored nations, he couldn't even believe it, right? Couldn't believe

it. But John Barrasso is one of the truly respected people in

Washington. Thank you. Thank you very much. Just

Incredible guy. You know, it's really great that these big guys are all coming to

Iowa, to listen to what we have to say. We know how important this race is in there.

Case, Ashley, they just want her so badly in the Senate, and she'll be one of our best senators.

I really believe we have some good ones too.

And you heard him speak before, and he's my friend, the president of

the National Border Patrol, Paul Perez. Thank you, Paul.

Thank you. What a job.

And a man I won every race with, and I watched him ranting and

Raving. He was a dynamo up. I watched him from Air Force One. I said, Jeff Koffman, he's really, he's

Really putting it on tonight. He moved. We won every single race, so I have to love

him. And his son is going to be a champion.

Bobby Kaufman, majority leader. House majority leader is going to be a

Champion. Who is Bobby? Good. Hello, Bobby. What a good job. Good.

Genetics. Good genetics. And former state

Senator, I call him the Marlboro Man. This guy was the first man in the whole

country. He endorsed me a year before I ran. He said, "The one that should"

Run is Donald Trump. And he didn't stop, he just kept going. Brad

Zawn. He has been incredible. Where is

He? Where is that? The Marlboro Man. Handsome guy.

If I were an agent, I'd move him right into that.

Marlboro. I don't know if you want to be doing that nowadays with Marlborough. Don't smoke, everybody, if you

Can't. Don't smoke, don't drink, don't take drugs, as I say to my kids all the

Time. State Representatives Shannon Lundgren and

Heather Hora, please. Thank you. Thank you.

Great job you're doing. And

A man, oh boy, do I respect this guy? Because, you know, I tried to be a wrestler for a little

While in high school, it didn't work out well for me.

Well, my first match was against a New York State wrestling champion. I just found out about two months

ago. Somebody said, "You wrestled so-and-so." But the greatest wrestler in the

History of college and wrestling is a man named

Dan Gable, and he's here someplace, he's here.

Somewhere. Where's Dan? Dan, could you come up, please? I'm such a fan of Dan Gable. Could

You come up? Come up.

Everybody said there's never been anybody, I don't

Know. Could I take him? I was a little bit larger than him. I think I would have been in trouble. Come

Here, Dan. Thank you.

I think we've had enough. I'm a pretty

Good coach, and I read everything really well.

This guy's doing the job that needs to be done, and

That's my coaching expertise. So, and I'm a pretty damn good

Coach. Thank you.

By the way, he was the best coach, the best ever. You have another great coach around,

too, but he was a great wrestler and a great coach. I just, I'm looking at Dan, and I'm saying.

To look at him, I say, so why would you know? You can't tell.

Right? Okay, if I'm gonna look at Dan, I'm gonna say, what makes him like almost

undefeated in history. I mean, he won everything. What's special? You never

Really know, right? But there's something in there between the head and the muscle.

That's different and better than anybody else. And you really are a legend, and you're a

Fantastic guy with a fantastic family. And we love you, Dan. Everybody loves you.

Thank you. Great honor to have you here. What an honor to have Dan here.

So, everyone here today is part of the greatest movement in the history of our country.

And our spirit is stronger than it's ever been before. We're going to have an amazing Tuesday.

And I just thought I'd send before finishing up. I'd want you to see these two.

Charts done by CNN, and it tells it all. Thank you.

Okay, MAGA GOP on Trump. In the 2024 election versus Kamala Harris, he got

99% of the MAGA GOP vote. Perhaps surprisingly, I might have thought it would be 100%, but it

was 99%. Compare that to his approval rating now at the MAGA

GLP. It's 98%. That is, there's been no real decline in MAGA support.

These folks say that they're going to vote for congressional Republicans come the midterm elections.

Again, that's the 99% that Trump got against Kamala Harris. Look now, in terms of the congressional

vote, 98% of them say they're going to be voting for House Republican candidates. So that support

Is actually really holding up strong. It's really, really strong when it comes to

Mega GOP and Republicans holding on to that vote. This one. Okay. The president

Republicans most admire, it's Donald Trump. This is a historic comparison.

A majority of Republicans say, 53% say he's the Republican president they most

Admire. Ronald Reagan, who traditionally has won that match, Donald Trump nearly triples up on

This, Reagan at just 18%, and then Abraham Lincoln, who, by most historic accounts,

is the greatest president of all time, but Republicans say that the president that they most

admire by what is this, this is 6, 7 times as many, Donald John Trump at

53%, easily crushing Abe Lincoln at 8%, and the Elon poll showed that he was the greatest president

As well. I feel like this slide might end up on a printout on his desk. Thank you very much. It's an

Honor. That's an honor. So, in conclusion.

If you elect a Republican House and a Republican Senate on November 3rd, we will

Continue to put America first every single day. We have to put America first.

We will win the war on corruption and

Fraud, led by our great Vice President, J.D. Vance. He's doing a great job.

We will pass the No

Invasion of our Country Act prohibiting any future president from ever opening our borders to

Illegal immigrants again.

We will ban sanctuary cities and pass the death penalty for

Large-scale drug dealers, human traffickers, and anyone who kills a police officer.

officer or a member of law enforcement.

And we will pass voter identification,

Proof of citizenship, and the SAVE America Act to defend our sacred American.

Elections. And we will

Enshrine in permanent law: no men in women's sports, and no transgender

mutilation of our children. So,

Ladies and gentlemen of Iowa, the golden age of America is upon us, but you must

Get out and vote, and you have to vote Republican. We're going to keep it going, we're going to be bigger, better,

Stronger than anyone's ever even imagined. Go vote early or vote on

Election Day. Probably now, you better off just wait till Election Day.

day, but go and make sure your vote is tabulated, that your vote counts, and we're going to have

A big, we're going to have a tremendous, I think we're going to have, look at the crowds, I think we're going to have a tremendous

victory on Tuesday. So we've already made.

Unbelievable progress, and now we will reach new levels of

Greatness. It's my honor to be your president during this such an exciting period of

Time, it's such an honor for me to be. You are the people that built this country. It's such an

Honor for me, it really is such an honor.

For me to be your president during this unbelievable period of time, the

growth, $25 trillion in growth in a short period of time. We've never

Seen anything like it. We've been doing this for 11 years now, and

They're just, I don't think anything like this will ever happen again. We have to enjoy

it and appreciated it. We have to appreciate it. So let's go out and do

What we do best. Like Dan Gable, win, win,

win on November 3rd. Win, win, win.

Because together that's the only thing that's

Thank you, Dan. It's true. That guy knows how to win, only a lot.

Probably still does. Because together, we will make America powerful again.

Wealthy again, healthy again, strong again, proud again, safe again.

And most importantly, we will make America

Great again. Thank you, Iowa. Thank you. God bless you all.

God bless you.

Oh my God,

And that's a wrap. I don't know how he does it. President Donald Trump just spoke for

Over two hours here in Dubuque, Iowa, and now he's going to get on the plane and head over to Canada.

I had the absolute tremendous honor of interviewing President Trump before he took the

stage. And one thing he said to me backstage: when he was signing my poll picture, he

Had the TV on, and it was our broadcast, the right-side broadcasting of Tori and

Michelle, who were interviewing the rallygoers in Kansas. He says, "I love all of your reporters at

RSBN. They do a tremendous job, and right now, we're going to throw it over to our

Coverage on RSBN in Kansas with Toria Brooks, Michelle

Myers. They're gonna take it from here. God bless all you listeners out there. Get out and vote,

Vote, vote. And I don't think it's ever been more relevant than

It is today. It has blown my mind, the

stark directional change that we're considering in this election. How many of you guys have voted?

Already? That's good.

That's good. Thank you. Thank you for getting out. But I got to tell you, your job's not done either.

I need you to work until 7 p.m. on Tuesday. If you

Haven't got out. I need you to get out because it is that important.

We are on the precipice. I mean, just think about it. We are, this isn't, I

that. We have trillions of dollars of investment coming to this country to

Give your kids and your grandkids a hope for the future and growth.

And we're finally investing in
