00:00:00 - 00:00:05 (6 sec)

Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States.

Donald Trump

00:00:05 - 00:00:31 (26 sec)

Hello, Georgia. I'm really thrilled to be talking with you today. There are a lot of people on this call and I like that and you like that. We have a lot of spirit, never been so much spirit, even beyond 2016, but we're thinking about and talking about the critical decision Americans will make on November 3rd and to pass forward to really having our country be better than ever before, greater than ever before.

Donald Trump

00:00:31 - 00:00:58 (26 sec)

There's never been a bigger difference between two candidates and two parties. Our movement is about building up America and protecting our prosperity. When you look at the stock market, it's setting almost record highs again, which is amazing. NASDAQ is actually at its all time high. It's been setting records on a daily basis, our security and our Liberty, but the radical Democrats want to burn it all down, tear it all down.

Donald Trump

00:00:58 - 00:01:19 (21 sec)

If Joe Biden gets in the far left, Democrats have total control over him, total control. He's a puppet, and they will get into power and they'll destroy our country. You see what's happening all over. You see what's happening in Seattle and you see what's happening in Portland. They'll have that all over the country.

Donald Trump

00:01:19 - 00:01:43 (24 sec)

They won't have the law and order that we have to have. The Democrats are consumed with hatred for our history, for our heritage and our constitution, our values, our police, our traditional values, our businesses, and most of all, the hatred for anyone who rejects their politically insane ideas, their dogma, but their ideas.

Donald Trump

00:01:43 - 00:02:07 (24 sec)

They can't stand it, but our movement is based on love of our country and our communities, our fellow citizens, and our American flag. We're fighting to save America and with your help, we will win. It will indeed be greater than ever before. It was better. We had the greatest economy in the history of the world until the China virus hit.

Donald Trump

00:02:07 - 00:02:30 (23 sec)

I want to just thank some of the incredible Republicans who are on the line now and fighting right by our side. Senator David Perdue, an incredible Senator, totally respected in Washington. He's really an idol to many. He's a fantastic man. David Perdue, he's going to be running. His opponent is a not much.

Donald Trump

00:02:30 - 00:02:57 (27 sec)

Super liberal, going to be totally controlled by Schumer. David Perdue is just a highly respected man. He gets what he wants. He's brought so much back to Georgia, including aid for farmers when we had the bad weather hits. Governor Brian Kemp, another great friend of mine. He's been a really strong leader and he's been through so much opposition with somebody that refuse to believe.

Donald Trump

00:02:57 - 00:03:21 (24 sec)

That he sort of had a little bit what I had, refused to accept the fact that she was fairly easily defeated. He's been really a fantastic champion for your state. He loves Georgia. He loves the people of Georgia, and it's great to have him on the call. Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan, somebody that's been really a big help to Brian and to everybody.

Donald Trump

00:03:21 - 00:03:50 (29 sec)

It's great to have him on the call. Two great candidates for Congress. A friend of mine, Karen Handel, who is a somebody that was in. She is missed dearly in Congress. She's going to get back. We need her so much for the second amendment for life, for so many different things, including our military. The same goes to Rich McCormick, who is just a winner and a warrior.

Donald Trump

00:03:50 - 00:04:13 (23 sec)

We need Karen and we need Rich back. We have to get Karen back and Rich. They both have my total and complete endorsement. They're strong on second amendment. They're strong in our military. They're strong in reducing taxes and regulations. All of the things that MAGA stands for, that we stand for and most of the people on this call stand for.

Donald Trump

00:04:13 - 00:04:40 (27 sec)

So Karen and Rich, we have to get them back and we'll be helping them a lot. No administration has ever done so much in the first three and a half years as the Trump administration. We achieved record low unemployment for African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, Asian-Americans, women, young people, people with a diploma, without a diploma, with high school, without high school, workers at all levels of education.

Donald Trump

00:04:40 - 00:05:03 (23 sec)

Georgia unemployment was the lowest in its history. Last year, it was the most successful economy of the history of Georgia. That's not bad. We're getting it back to right where it was. We're going to be back very soon too. Next year is going to be an incredible year. When the China virus invaded our country, we had no choice but to shut down our economy.

Donald Trump

00:05:03 - 00:05:22 (19 sec)

We saved millions of lives by doing so. We had to shut it down. We had no choice. We had the greatest economy ever. We had to shut it down, but we did the right thing and we saved millions of lives. Now, were reopening and we've already gained 7.5 million jobs. Seven and a half million jobs, that's a new record.

Donald Trump

00:05:22 - 00:05:48 (26 sec)

Never happened before that number. New business applications have doubled. Retail sales have been through the roof. Car sales and car production just announced yesterday is massive, far greater than anybody would have thought even possible at this stage under a pandemic. Under my administration, China will also be held fully accountable for unleashing the China virus upon the world.

Donald Trump

00:05:48 - 00:06:16 (28 sec)

That's what happened. They could have stopped it. They stopped it going into China, but they didn't stop it going to the US or Europe or all of the other places, 188 countries around the world. Many countries that were once held up as models for fighting the virus are now experiencing rising case loads including Germany, Australia, Japan, Israel, and France, which proves that the blanket shutdowns are not longterm solutions.

Donald Trump

00:06:16 - 00:06:40 (25 sec)

These were countries that were being looked up to and now they're being hit and they're being hit pretty hard in some cases. Two vaccine candidates are in the final phases of clinical trials, which is at a record. This could take years and we did it in a matter of months. We will have that vaccine. We expect to have the vaccine itself available before the end of the year, as I said, and maybe long before.

Donald Trump

00:06:40 - 00:07:07 (27 sec)

I hope it's going to be long before and certainly far ahead of schedule. We've also cut mountains of red tape to speed the development of hundreds of new therapeutics and treatments and all sorts of things that nobody thought possible this quickly. Through the paycheck protection program, we provided more than $14 billion over 156,000 small businesses in your state, meaning you have a big state.

Donald Trump

00:07:07 - 00:07:32 (25 sec)

Think of that. 156,000 small businesses in your state saving 1.5 million Georgia jobs. We're restoring law and order to Democrat run cities like, I hate to say it, like Atlanta because we love Atlanta. It's a great place. It's a great city, but they've had a lot of problems with the crime. Nearly 350 people have been shot this year.

Donald Trump

00:07:32 - 00:07:59 (27 sec)

Murder is increased by 34%. An eight year old girl was gunned down in cold blood after local politicians surrendered to the anarchist mob and the agitators, anarchist, that's exactly what they are. We're surging federal law enforcement into the communities to help solve the violent crime problem you have in Atlanta and other cities all throughout the country.

Donald Trump

00:07:59 - 00:08:21 (23 sec)

We're starting a process. This has to do with drugs. It has to do with this basic good policing and we're putting criminals behind bars. Many, many criminals behind bars. By contrast, Joe Biden is flooding our neighborhoods with dangerous criminals by abolishing cash bail. Biden also supports sanctuary cities, which are a disaster in Atlanta.

Donald Trump

00:08:21 - 00:08:44 (23 sec)

Last year, ICE arrested over 12,000 criminal aliens charged or convicted with heinous crimes like rape and murder. Biden would let local politicians set them free as is happening in Philadelphia and many other places. The FBI has opened 300 domestic terror investigations as a result of the left wing riots.

Donald Trump

00:08:44 - 00:09:09 (24 sec)

You've been seeing these riots, they're out of control and so easy to solve. We sent in the national guard into Minneapolis. By the way, Atlanta, if you have any problems, we'll have that national guard there so fast, you won't even believe it. We're also defending our national monuments. Anyone who defaces our statues or any of our monuments, automatically it's 10 years in prison.

Donald Trump

00:09:09 - 00:09:27 (18 sec)

Once we announced that a couple of months ago, incredibly and amazingly it stopped happening. They weren't knocking down any of our statutes, and we have numerous people in jail right now that have long prison sentences. I recently signed four groundbreaking executive orders to bring down the cost of prescription drugs.

Donald Trump

00:09:27 - 00:09:54 (26 sec)

Drug prices had skyrocketed, more than 35% under the last administration. They went way up and I'm the first President to lower drug prices in 51 years. First President in 51 years and prices will soon be dropping like a rock. They'll be dropping 50% and more, because for decades, America was forced to pay much higher prices for prescription drugs than other nations.

Donald Trump

00:09:54 - 00:10:20 (27 sec)

We subsidized socialist countries and we funded R&D for literally for the entire world and we paid the price, but now the global freeloading is over and my orders require Medicare to purchase drugs at the exact same price as other countries pay. We are finally allowing the safe importation of low cost prescription drugs from Canada and other countries.

Donald Trump

00:10:20 - 00:10:39 (18 sec)

So, if other countries sell them for less, we buy them from the other countries and avoid all of the problems of the crazy drug laws that have cost so much. We are most importantly though, when they sell, it's called favored nations. We put in a favored nations and I just signed it, a favored nations law.

Donald Trump

00:10:39 - 00:11:04 (25 sec)

So, if Germany or UK or any place, European Union, anyone gets the drugs for less, we get them for the same price. We may reduce prices by 50%, 60%, 70% or more. We also passed right to try for those people that are very terminally ill. Well, we have great drugs possibly, but they haven't been approved and final stages by the FDA.

Donald Trump

00:11:04 - 00:11:24 (20 sec)

You have a right to try now, which for 40 years, they've been trying to get it more than that. To defend Georgia farmers and ranchers, we officially replaced the disaster known as NAFTA with a brand new USMCA opening incredible new opportunities for Georgia agriculture, textiles and manufacturing of all kinds.

Donald Trump

00:11:24 - 00:11:56 (32 sec)

To increase Georgia exports even further, I've asked Congress for more than $90 million to deepen the port of Savannah. So the port of Savannah, after working on it for so many years, we're getting it done. We'll be getting it done very quickly. When China targeted our farmers, I provided $28 billion in relief all paid for with tariffs that I charged China, so compliments of China, but they targeted the farmers and ranches $28 million over a two year period.

Donald Trump

00:11:56 - 00:12:29 (33 sec)

I got the money and I gave it back to the farmers. Nobody else would do that. No other President would do that. We've invested more than $2.5 trillion in our great military including major contracts to build the F-35 Lightning in Marietta, we're doing an F-35 Lightning. It's a fantastic. We've now have 277 miles of wall completed and we'll have up to 500. In fact, we'll probably go a little bit over 500 miles shortly after the end of the year.

Donald Trump

00:12:29 - 00:12:55 (26 sec)

We had total opposition from the Democrats, but it's working and we're setting record numbers of people coming across the border. Record in a positive sense. It's very hard and with all of those miles, people don't get through the wall. You can't. We passed veterans choice and veterans accountability for the VA. We fired more than 8,000 employees who were not giving our vets that care and the respect that they deserve.

Donald Trump

00:12:55 - 00:13:30 (35 sec)

They were treating our vets badly. You couldn't get rid of the people that were treating them badly. I pass veterans accountability or accountable to our veterans. Now, the VA has a 91% approval rating from our veterans. The highest rate we've ever had. Remember, veterans choice for 50 years, they've been trying to get it and I got it. So, when you have to wait two weeks or three weeks or one week or five days or a long period of time, which unfortunately was happening, you go out, you get a private doctor, you get fixed, we pay the bill.

Donald Trump

00:13:30 - 00:13:48 (18 sec)

Number one, we take care of our vets, and number two, it actually saves us money. Again, they've been trying to get veterans choice and veterans accountability for many, many decades, and they were unable. I got it done. I got them both signed. They're done. They're in effect and we're very proud of them.

Donald Trump

00:13:48 - 00:14:06 (18 sec)

We're working with governors to safely reopen our school in the fall. We want to get our schools open. A lot of Democrat governors and Democrat mayors don't want to do it because they think it'll be good for the election, on November 3rd, where you got to get out and vote, but I'm also fighting for school choice.

Donald Trump

00:14:06 - 00:14:29 (23 sec)

Every parent should be able to send their child to the public private charter, religious or independent school of their choice. We passed the largest package of tax cuts and regulation cuts in American history saving the average family of four substantially over $5,000 a year. You see that in your paycheck.

Donald Trump

00:14:29 - 00:14:50 (21 sec)

You see that with what's happening. We've saved a lot of money, and you also have $2 gasoline, which nobody thought would happen. It's actually going to be below that and has been below that. We ended the war on American energy. We're now a net exporter of energy for the first time. Again, that gasoline price we're having.

Donald Trump

00:14:50 - 00:15:09 (19 sec)

We have millions jobs. We're getting a great deal on gasoline for your car, so you can travel around and it's made a massive difference. We are energy independent. The first time ever, we're energy independent. So, we don't have to go to the faraway lands and do things that we certainly would prefer not doing.

Donald Trump

00:15:09 - 00:15:31 (22 sec)

We'll have appointed close to 300 federal judges by the end of my first term, including two great Supreme Court justices. So, we'll have 300 judges, could even be a little bit more than that by the end of the first term. That's a record. It hasn't been done before, including two great Supreme Court justices and you'll see that in the court system.

Donald Trump

00:15:31 - 00:15:55 (24 sec)

These are great judges, talented judges, conservative judges, judges that do it the right way. Joe Biden has signed a joint manifesto. It's a manifesto literally with Bernie Sanders and the radical left, which means that Biden is now running as the most extreme left wing candidate in history. He's a left wing candidate and he's not calling the shots.

Donald Trump

00:15:55 - 00:16:10 (15 sec)

They're calling all the shots at telling him what to do. You know that. All you have to do is watch him and you'll see that. Biden has vowed to defund the police and to take away your guns. Joe Biden, under him, you're going to have a real problem with your second amendment. I protected your second amendment.

Donald Trump

00:16:10 - 00:16:36 (26 sec)

Nothing's happening to it. Nothing whatsoever has happened to it, except that it's been totally protected. In Joe Biden's America, you and your family will not be safe. Maybe that's the most important thing I can say, because ultimately it's about your safety, but in his America, if he were ever President and I hope that's not going to happen for the good of our country, you and your family will not be safe.

Donald Trump

00:16:36 - 00:17:10 (34 sec)

Biden supported every globalist attack on the American worker, NAFTA, TPP, the horrible Korea deal, and China's entry into WTO. That's a World Trade Organization. China lost nearly 10,000 factories. We lost to China 10,000 factories while Biden was Vice President. That includes what left for Mexico. We have so many businesses move to Mexico, but under our new great trade bill with Mexico and Canada, they'll all start coming back.

Donald Trump

00:17:10 - 00:17:39 (29 sec)

You watch what's going to happen. It's already happening. Biden voted for the war in Iraq and he voted for mass amnesty of millions and millions of illegal immigrants. Now, Biden supports raising your taxes by many times in some cases. We're talking about massive tax increases, massive regulation increases, packing the courts with radical far left judges and destroying your 401(k)s and your stocks.

Donald Trump

00:17:39 - 00:17:55 (16 sec)

If you have stocks, you can forget about it, because your 401(k)s and stocks will be literally destroyed. You're going to have open borders and you're going to have a ripping down the wall. They want to rip down the wall, so people just flood in indiscriminately into our country. That's not what we want.

Donald Trump

00:17:55 - 00:18:14 (19 sec)

The ones that really like what I'm saying are our great Hispanic American people that love our country. They love what we're doing on the border. They understand the border better than anybody, and they don't want that to happen. They don't want people taking their jobs and they don't want people taking their homes and their safety.

Donald Trump

00:18:14 - 00:18:40 (26 sec)

So to the many Hispanic Americans on the line, you know it better than anybody else. So Biden, if you look, and literally Biden, Sanders, AOC plus three, these are the real leaders. Nancy Pelosi, if you can believe that, they want to abolish borders, stop all deportations. This is in their manifesto and prosecution of illegal border crossers.

Donald Trump

00:18:40 - 00:19:07 (27 sec)

In other words, they come in illegally and you don't prosecute. They want to support horrible sanctuary cities, which protect some very bad people. Incentivize illegal alien child smuggling, provide tax payer funded lawyers for illegal alien so everybody gets a lawyer, provide government healthcare for illegal aliens, free community college for illegal aliens, end all travel bands including from jihadist regions.

Donald Trump

00:19:07 - 00:19:30 (24 sec)

I got the travel ban approved. Everybody said it would never happen. I got it approved. They want to grant mass amnesty, end cash bail if you can believe that releasing dangerous criminals onto the streets, increase refugee admissions by 700%. So, increase refugee admissions by seven. We've never had anything like this in the country.

Donald Trump

00:19:30 - 00:19:54 (23 sec)

Incentivize prison closure so that they close your prisons and then provide free federal housing for former inmates. This is things that Bernie Sanders never dreamed about and he's got them in the agreement made with Biden. Mandate net zero carbon emissions for homes, offices, and all new buildings, mandate zero carbon emissions from power plants.

Donald Trump

00:19:54 - 00:20:15 (21 sec)

Now, when you do that, your electrical costs will go literally through the roof. They want to end school choice, abolish charter schools, abolish suburbs. What we're doing is we got rid of low income housing in the suburbs. People's dream was being ripped from them. Now, if you live in the suburbs, you don't have to worry about that.

Donald Trump

00:20:15 - 00:20:41 (26 sec)

You have a beautiful home. You fought like crazy to get into the suburbs. By the way, African American, Hispanic American, Asian American have a big percentage of the housing that was so badly affected in the suburbs and the house values would go down and the crime would go up, but tremendous African American population, Asian American population, Hispanic American population in the suburbs.

Donald Trump

00:20:41 - 00:21:05 (23 sec)

So with your help, it's going to be something very special. We're getting very good poll numbers. The real polls, not the fake polls that the papers put out just like they did the last time. We were in Texas recently, it's been unbelievable the response. We have law enforcement endorsements. It was an incredible trip and the same thing with Florida.

Donald Trump

00:21:05 - 00:21:27 (22 sec)

With Georgia, I've done so much for Georgia. Again, you had the best economy you've ever had in the history of the state and the history of our country. A few of the things just in ending, we will at least the full power of the American economy, we created an unprecedented economic miracle once and now we're doing it again and already you see the numbers coming back very quickly.

Donald Trump

00:21:27 - 00:21:45 (18 sec)

We'll shut down illegal immigration and we'll finish the wall, but if you're a farmer, you'll be able to get the same people that you've had for many years. We'll shut it down, but the farmers will be allowed to have those same people come in. We're not going to make... Otherwise, you'd make it very tough on the farmers, that we've made it very easy on the farmers.

Donald Trump

00:21:45 - 00:22:07 (23 sec)

We'll be tough on China, demanding accountability and fair trade. We'll bring medical, manufacturing and critical supply chains back to America, which I've been fighting for and succeeding in, but we've never ever done the things that I'm doing. We're going to bring them back to our country. We'll root out anti-American bias in our public schools and colleges.

Donald Trump

00:22:07 - 00:22:36 (29 sec)

We will bring big tech assault. As you know, we have... big tech is being assaulted by so many, both in terms of China assaulting and stealing and big techs assaulting of us, because big tech, what they're doing is assaulting free speech. At the same time, we're being assaulted because China is stealing our companies and our secrets.

Donald Trump

00:22:36 - 00:22:55 (19 sec)

So, it's a double whammy, but we are going to end big tech assault on free speech. At the same time, we're not going to let China and other countries take our great secrets. It's sort of an interesting combination. We'll defend your God Given rights to bear arms. Your second amendment will be totally secure.

Donald Trump

00:22:55 - 00:23:18 (23 sec)

Your right to bear arms will be totally secure. Under Biden, they will end, your second amendment. They will take away your guns as sure as you're listening. We will support the heroes of law enforcement. We will defend sanctuary cities. We will create an immigration system based on merit. So people come in and they'll love our country and they'll want to work hard and make it successful.

Donald Trump

00:23:18 - 00:23:41 (23 sec)

We're bringing our troops back as you know from Afghanistan and all these endless far away places, endless wars, and that's happening rapidly, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria. We've done a great job on that, but we're not the policemen of the world. We'll drain the Washington swamp, and we will make America greater than ever before.

Donald Trump

00:23:41 - 00:24:08 (26 sec)

So, I just want to tell you next year is going to be an incredible year for our country, unless somebody raised taxes like the other side wants to do or they want to raise him viciously and violently, next year will be one of the greatest years we've ever had. We have more regulation cutting to do. We have more tax cutting to do. I'll always fight for the people of Georgia, just like I've been doing for three and a half years and that's why you're doing so well.

Donald Trump

00:24:08 - 00:24:34 (27 sec)

I've never let you down and I never will. So, get out and vote on November 3rd. So important. Just get out and vote. It's big stuff. There's never been a more important vote. This is the equivalent to what happened in 2016. I want to thank you for joining this call. So many people, I want to thank you all and God bless America. God bless you all. Thank you very much.
