FULL TRANSCRIPT: Trump Addresses Fraternal Order of Police Meeting

It’s strictly third-world banana republic stuff. Importantly, the public understands this, and so does every legal scholar, expert, and luminary, including highly respected people like Andy McCarthy, Jonathan Turley, Alan Dershowitz, Mark Levin, Stephen Calabrese, David Rivkin, Gregg Jarrett, Katie and Andrew Kierkowski, and even from CNN, Elie Honig. I appreciate that, Elie, because he’s been great. They all said it’s a case that is not a case, shouldn’t even be brought – politics.

I greatly appreciate the words in the letter today from the judge. He said, “If necessary,” being utilized in the decision. But there should be no “if necessary.” This case should rightfully be terminated immediately.

The Importance of the Upcoming Election

As we prepare for the most important election in the history of our country – it’s the most important election we’ve ever had because our country is going bad. You may have noticed. You take a look at some of the people pouring into our country by the millions.

North Carolina Victory and Family Mentions

In addition, there was a big political victory today in a certain place called North Carolina. Has anybody heard of North Carolina? I even have a grandchild, a very beautiful grandchild named Carolina. And Laura’s here today. Where is Laura? Right there, right there. Carolina is a beauty. She’s beautiful, and Eric came. He doesn’t come too often for this. You know, he’d rather do his own speeches. People would rather hear him. So it’s a great couple, beautiful children.

You know, she loves this state so much, and she said, “Oh, don’t worry, you’re gonna win. They love you here.” And she grew up here and had a great life here. I don’t know if her life is as good now, frankly. She loves this place, and she says, “Don’t worry.” I said, “Well, if anything bad happens, I’m blaming you.” That’ll be the end. But we’ve won it four times. We won the primaries, we won everything. We’ve won the primaries, and then we won just another big one. We won by a lot, and we have to win one more election, and we’ll be 6-0 in North Carolina. We love North Carolina.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Endorsement

Your appeals court ruled today that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s name should be taken off the ballot. And that sounds like a bad thing for him – it’s not. It’s actually a great thing. He’s an incredible team player, and he didn’t want anybody to be voting his name because, as you know, he fully endorsed us. He’s with us. He’s gonna be watching out for women’s health and everybody’s health and got a lot of great things to say. He’s very smart, very good, great person, very popular.

Respect for Law Enforcement

When I grew up, we revered the men and women that we knew. As I grew up in New York, and you’ve all heard of New York’s Finest. Who’s from New York? Oh, there they are. You guys have been – you guys, you know New York’s Finest endorsed me, and they’re not supposed to. They said, “We don’t care, we’re endorsing you anyway,” right? But I appreciate it. Thank you very much.

I think we’ve been endorsed by every police group or slightly related. Even if they’re slightly related, we’ve gotten every one of them, and I appreciate it. Just nobody we can respect more. But we also, when we look around and we see, because I consider you in this room to be America’s Finest. You’re all over the country, all over from the country, all over the place, and we really appreciate you being here.

Crime and Public Safety

American cities, suburbs, and towns are totally under siege. Kamala Harris and the communist left have unleashed a brutal plague of bloodshed, crime, chaos, misery, and death upon our land. Other than that, they’re doing actually quite well, thank you.

Yesterday, three police officers were shot in Milwaukee, very tragically. 31 people were shot and five were killed in Chicago over Labor Day weekend. Can you imagine that? It’s worse than in Afghanistan. We hear about Afghanistan and all these places. They don’t compare with numbers like this. Baltimore is now facing the single most deadly drug crisis of any city in American history, and the number of homeless people on the streets of New York has just reached a 20-year high, and it’s going a lot higher than that.

Illegal Immigration and Crime

Hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens – you know, you can’t, according to the look at all that fake news back there, but you can’t – they don’t like “illegal migrant,” they don’t like “illegal alien,” they don’t like anything. They want you to call them citizens, future citizens. You ever hear that one? Future citizens, future citizens of our country. That’s what they want to hear. But I don’t think this room’s inclined to do that.

In city after city, the law-abiding citizen is forced to live in fear and danger and in filth. Mothers can’t take their kids to the park. Graffiti is everywhere. The innocent are victimized in random attacks. Very brutal attacks and slayings are absolutely commonplace. Mobs of criminals walk into stores and clean out thousands of dollars in merchandise with absolutely no fear of punishment because you’re not allowed to do your jobs.

Retail Crime and Theft

You can’t even go to a pharmacy without everything being locked behind glass. The new thing in New York, you go to a pharmacy to buy aspirin, to buy a toothbrush, and it takes you 45 minutes to get a clerk to open up the glass because people are walking and just taking as much as they want.

I don’t know if you know that in San Francisco, which this woman, our opponent – I would say our opponent, I think we can – anybody in favor of her in this room, by the way? Let me just – okay, then I can safely say our opponent. But she now destroyed – she destroyed San Francisco, but she came up with a great idea. You can steal as much as you want up to $950, and nothing happens to you. After that, nothing happens to you also.

Crime Statistics Under Harris Administration

Under the Harris regime, 99% of law-abiding citizens suffer while criminals run free, and our country is plagued into literally third-world conditions. In many ways, we’re a third-world country, but we’re gonna clean that up real fast. I’m here today to declare that we do not have to live this way, and when I’m president of the United States, we are not going to take it anymore.

Since Kamala Harris took office, she has presided over a 43% increase in violent crime, including a 58% increase in rape and an 89% increase in aggravated assault. Under Comrade Kamala, assaults on police officers are up a minimum of 32%, and many of them are not reported, and if they are reported, they’re not taken down. Shootings of our police officers are up by over 16%.

Promises for the Future

The day I take office is the day that Kamala’s crime wave comes to an end. It’s a crime wave in our country. We’ve never seen anything like it, and frankly, you know, we talk about all of the problems that we have, and they list them, and usually, the economy is number one. To me, the number one thing that I get spoken to by the people – and I meet so many people – is crime.

With your help, we will restore public safety to our streets. We will bring back law and order to our nation, and we will give the heroes in blue the power to legally protect us and the respect that you deserve more than any other group of people.

Closing Remarks

What you have to go through, and then you don’t get the backup at all. You’re going to have the backup like you never had it before. Well, you had it four years ago, but even more so now because they’ve let it get so out of control.

Over the past four years, Kamala Harris and the Radical Democrat Party have led a war on law enforcement in America. They’re against you so strongly. As a result, families that do everything right and carry this country on their shoulders have watched helplessly as their communities dissolved all around them.

Kamala Harris and the radical liberals force anarchy on the American people while they live in safety, in many cases behind walls. You know that? Nancy Pelosi has a big wall wrapped around her house. Of course, it didn’t help too much with the problem she had, did it? But she had a big wall, a big wall wrapped around her house. But since she says we don’t want to, you have no idea what it was to get the wall done.

Border Wall and Immigration

Kamala Harris opposed me, Nancy Pelosi, everybody, the Democrats largely – not all of them, but they largely opposed it. But we got it built. I actually took it out of the military. I considered it an invasion because dealing with Congress is so crazy.

I said, “Okay, ready? We’re going to take $10 billion out of the military budget. You’re going to buy about three less army tanks, and we’re going to build a wall because this is an invasion of our country.” As soon as I said that, everybody said, “You’re right.”

And we did. We built over 571 miles of wall. And that’s what gave us the best. We had the best border numbers in history. And now we have the worst border numbers in history. There’s never been anything like it.

The Chart

I pulled down a chart, if you remember, about two and a half months ago on my right. I said, “I’m so proud of that chart.” Now I love it more than almost anything in the world. I love it more than I even love the police. Can you believe it? No, I pulled down a chart.

I always look to my left, always. And I seldom use it. I use it maybe 20% of the time for speeches, but it’s always on my left. It’s always at the end of the speech. And this time at the beginning of the speech, I said, “Pull down that chart.” And if I didn’t turn, I wouldn’t be speaking with you today. So I love that chart. That chart is beautiful.

I love that chart. I pulled it down. I said, “Boy, that is one beautiful… That’s one beautiful, the yellow and the blue and the red.” Right? Anyway, but what that chart showed and shows is the numbers. You see, it went way down to almost nothing. And that was my final week in office. And then it went like a rocket ship right through the sky. We’ve never had anything like it. No country has ever had anything like it.

Liberal Policies and Crime

Wealthy liberals destroy cities with defund the police. And there’s still that movement that you just can’t shake. And sanctuary for illegals while they move further into gated compounds. They set loose violent repeat offenders with no bail while Marxist prosecutors harass and threaten police officers who protect the hardworking citizens. They don’t want you to protect the people.

It’s hard to believe, actually. You know, sometimes you say these things and as you’re saying them, you’re saying that, right? But that’s right. It’s pretty hard to believe. Like, why would anybody say we don’t want to have a border? Why would anybody say the whole world can empty out into our country, even though it’s not sustainable?

Transgender Athletes in Sports

Why would anybody say something sort of simple like we want men to play in women’s sports? Why do they want to say we want men to play in women’s sports? Why was that?

Did you see the Olympics where they had two fighters, two transition fighters? They transitioned. This is the proper way of saying it. I say that just in case I don’t want to get myself in trouble with the media, the fake news.

And they had two fighters. And you see the one young lady, beautiful young lady. And she was a fighter from Italy. And she fought a transitioned person who gave her just a left jab, a jab for those that don’t know. That’s just sort of, you know, keep it going before you give it. Boom. She backed up. Whoa.

Then he did another jab and she quit. She said, “I’ve never been hit like that in my life.” Right? She quit.

Anyway, he went on to win the gold medal easily. And the other one went on to win the gold medal easily. But you have to see the weightlifting stats where an eighth of an ounce is added on. And for 18 years, they had a record. And some guy comes along. I mean, some transition person. “Have you lifted before?” “No, no, I haven’t done much.” “Oh, good. Well, good luck. Let’s see.” Boing.

It’s crazy. These people are crazy. And it’s so demeaning to women. I mean, there’s some… some day that, you know, these women are great athletes. The whole thing is crazy.

Promises for Law Enforcement

But as president, I will break the grip of the Marxists on our justice system and I will end Kamala’s war. And it’s her. It’s her and a group of people. But it’s a war on police. And together we will launch a war on violent crime in America. We have to. We are a laughingstock all over the world.

You know, everyone’s always talking about these terrible countries to live in, that regime and this or that. But those countries don’t have crime like we do. Not even close. Under Harris, the number of police resignations surged recently to over 60 percent. You’ve never had a number like that.

And the first spending bill I sign, I will make a record investment in hiring, retention, and training for police officers. So important. It’s powerful.

Military Equipment for Police

And you remember when I was president, I gave you billions of dollars worth of military equipment that was unused. It was in the storage rooms. We talked about it. Remember that a few years ago? And I made it available to the police. I took such heat.

They said it looks too powerful. It looks police-like. I said, “Isn’t that a good thing? I mean, that’s a good thing.” But I gave you billions of dollars. It was sitting there drawing dust, billions and billions. It had storage houses all over the country, big storage houses of trucks. And a lot of it was defensive material, too, and defensive jeeps with armor plates all over them and a lot of great stuff. And I gave it all out to the police.

Took a lot of heat. I’d never thought… I thought it would be a popular thing. It was with the police. But the crazies out there, they thought it was just a terrible thing. They thought it looked too powerful. And you got it. And we saved a lot of lives with that equipment. Right? We saved a lot of lives and we saved a lot of rent. We also saved a lot of rent that we didn’t have to pay to all these storage places all over the country.

Police Support and Kamala Harris

We’re going to get you pay raises and reinforcements. We’re going to get you reinforcements because you need them. And Harris repeatedly sponsored legislation to strip police officers’ immunity.

You know, it’s interesting when you say the word Harris, nobody knows who the hell I’m talking about. Harris, Harris. They say, “Who is Harris?” If you say to a person, “What’s our vice president’s name?” They don’t know. Now, Kamala is an unusual name, but at least, you know who we’re talking about. When I say Harris, nobody knows who the hell I’m talking about. They say, “Who is that?” So maybe we’ll refer to him more as Kamala. It’s a little friendlier, too, but it’s hard to be friendly with somebody that wants to destroy our country.

She’s right now practicing. Do you know that she’s in Pennsylvania and she’s practicing for the debate? She’s locked herself in a room. It’s got a lot to learn. She’s locked herself in a room and they have one problem. You know what the problem is? They have MAGA people outside screaming, “We love Trump, we love Trump, we love Trump,” and they can’t focus. Can you believe it? This came over. They got MAGA people all over the place and they’re screaming, “We love Trump,” and she can’t focus. That’s okay.

Plans for Law Enforcement and Crime Prevention

As president, I will sign legislation to strengthen protections for police officers, so important, and I will crack down on Marxist prosecutors like Philadelphia’s Larry Krasner and LA’s George Gascón. No, it’s unbelievable. These people, you get a murderer. This guy just shot three people and he’s out on the streets in two hours. It’s crazy. No bail. Cashless, they call it.

No longer will corrupt DAs be allowed to engage in selective and race-based enforcement of the law. My administration will issue hundreds of millions of dollars in federal grants to reward cities and towns and return to proven crime-fighting methods, including stop-and-frisk and broken windows policing. We did that with Rudy Giuliani.

It was so successful. New York, before Giuliani, New York was at the edge. It was a hopeless situation. Rudy came in and he did the stop-and-frisk thing, and he did at numbers that were moderate, good, you can’t go crazy, but they knew what they were doing. They did the windows, and the window sounds like a ridiculous idea, but when they had all these burned-out places, they made them look livable. And we went from a crime-ridden city to the safest big city anywhere in the world. That’s a big accomplishment. He doesn’t get the credit he deserves, I will tell you that.

Addressing Homelessness and Mental Health

But we’ll get the homeless and the dangerously deranged, of which we have many, off of our streets, and many are coming in because I said they’re coming in from the mental institutions all over the world. And we’ll get them the help they need. It’s a very hard thing to get the help they need, and many of these people are never going to make a comeback. You know that.

They can’t make a comeback. It’s horrible. It’s a horrible thing. But we’ll make our towns and cities safe again. We’ll make them clean and beautiful once again, and we’ll have places that you live in the manner to which you’re supposed to be living, because people are living in hell right now.

Combating Gangs and Crime

And working with local law enforcement, we will launch a federal task force to dismantle the gangs, the street crews, and the criminal networks that are ravaging our towns. This will include a 10-year mandatory minimum sentence for anyone guilty of human smuggling, a guaranteed life sentence for any guilty child trafficking, and the death penalty for drug dealers and anyone guilty of child or woman sex trafficking, which they are doing at numbers which are massive.

And we’re also calling for a strong death penalty for anyone who kills a police officer. Right? We’ll get that done. We’ll get that done. We’ll get it done.

Crime Statistics and Reporting

Kamala actually claims that crime is down on her watch. Can you believe this? Crime’s down. They lie. Crime’s down. Crime is through the roof. They forgot to include about nine cities that are the worst cities in the world. You know, they forgot to include Chicago and a few of the others. And that was the FBI. That’s a shame.

They issued stats, and everybody was surprised that crime was about the same or maybe a little bit down. And then we found out that they didn’t include, just like they didn’t include 818,000 jobs in their jobs report. They were missing 818. They said 818,000 more people. It turned out to be a total fraud. You know, at a certain point, it becomes fraud when you’re down by 5,000 or 10,000 people. But 818,000 fake job numbers were put in a month ago. And it was revealed by a leaker or somebody, but he came out and it was really pretty bad.

But they did the same thing on the crime numbers in order to make the crime numbers look better, which is still atrocious, but they want to make them look better. And Kamala’s crime statistics are really as fake, essentially, as those job numbers. But you just think of it. I mean, think of it. 818,000 fake jobs they put in order to make their job numbers look better.

The FBI’s crime report does not include crime numbers from the most dangerous war zones and ganglands in America. Chicago, I’ll tell you, the ones that weren’t included are Chicago, Oakland, New Orleans, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Jose, which is rough. Nearly 30 percent of jurisdictions did not report their crime stats, and they were the ones that had the highest numbers.

So that’s why your crime numbers were terrible, but they didn’t look as bad as they should. Crime is worse today than at any time in our country’s history. Kamala Harris destroyed San Francisco. She destroyed California.

Kamala Harris’s Impact on America

Now she’s destroying America. She will destroy this country. And now that people are seeing what’s going on, nobody knew who the hell she was in all fairness. She was vice president that nobody knew. She shouldn’t have been vice president. They call her a threat to democracy. She’s a threat to democracy.

The way they call me a threat… I take a bullet in the head and I’m a threat. No, no. She’s a threat to democracy. Think of it. But she didn’t get any votes. He got 14 million votes. She got none. Zero. She was the first one out of 22 people to leave. She left the race because she got no support. And now she’s running as the Democrat candidate.

And I say that’s a threat to democracy. They’re the real threat to democracy. They use that. That’s just the standard line. Donald Trump is a threat to democracy because he wants to stop crime. These people are very mixed up people.

The Upcoming Election

This November, the law-abiding citizens of our country are going to tell her, “Kamala, you’ve done a horrible job.” Remember “The Apprentice”? You couldn’t be worse. And we’re not going to let you do it again. Kamala, you’re fired. Get out of here.

It is true. She’s got no votes. And now she’s running. So she explained that one. Not the Democratic way. It’s not a Democrat. I never could. They call it the Democratic Party because it sounds so nice. I call it the Democrat Party. It’s actually the Democrat Party. They ought to change the name.

They’re always arguing that. I always call it that. It’s called Democrat Party. Democratic sounds so beautiful, the Democratic Party. It’s even nicer in a speech. But they ought to change the name instead of complaining.

Kamala’s Current Role

And you know what she could do? All these things that she complains about right now. She should go and fix them. She shouldn’t even go to the debate. She should go back to Washington, D.C., and fix all the things she’s complaining about. There’s no problem.

Kamala’s Record as D.A. and Attorney General

As D.A. of San Francisco, Kamala was the original Marxist prosecutor. She was the original. She shielded illegal alien crack dealers from deportation at a level that nobody has ever seen before. She refused to seek the death penalty for an animal who killed a police officer. She didn’t even call the officer’s family. She refused.

As California Attorney General, Kamala redefined sex trafficking, child sex trafficking, and assault with a deadly weapon, and rape of an unconscious person as totally nonviolent crimes. Kamala then called herself a leader of the movement for no cash bail. She was very proud of that, no cash bail. That has done more to hurt our cities than almost anything I can think of. Where these people are getting out of jail one hour later, they don’t even see the jail, and they’re violent criminals, and they’re out of jail immediately.

She called for abolishing ICE. And these ICE people are incredible patriots, and they have a tough job, and you work with them very closely. But they are incredible, and they’re tough, and they love our country. And ending all jail sentences for parole violators, no more jail sentences. What’s the purpose of even reporting if you don’t go to jail for parole violations?

Political Persecution and Voter Fraud

Unless, again, you’re involved in political activity, meaning you want to run a democratic country, you want to run a country that is based on fair and free voting, you’re in serious trouble if you get caught trying to find out what are the real results of an election. It’s an amazing thing. Do you ever see that? They go after the people that are looking at the crime, and they do terrible things to them. But the people that committed the voter fraud and everything, they can do whatever they want to do.

It’s so crazy. And I hope you as the greatest people, just as great as there is anybody in our country, I hope you watch for voter fraud. So it starts early. It starts in a week, but I hope you can watch, and you’re all over the place. Watch for the voter fraud, because we win. Without voter fraud, we win so easily. Hopefully, we’re going to win anyway, but we want to keep it down. You can keep it down just by watching, because believe it or not, they’re afraid of that badge.

Kamala’s Actions During 2020 Riots

During the 2020 riots, Kamala Harris urged her followers to donate to a fund to bail out violent rioters, arsonists, and looters out of jail. You remember in Minnesota, one of the criminals she helped bail out of jail went on to murder a man in St. Paul, shooting him six times in the head and torso. Most disqualifying of all, Kamala Harris endorsed defunding the police, and she endorsed it for so many years.

No politician who endorsed Marxist defund the police lunacy should ever be the president of the United States, because that’s your philosophy. I promise you I will never tell you we’re going to defund the police. I will only tell you that we might overfund the police. We’ll be over budget.

Border Crisis

But no crime Kamala has committed against the rule of law is worse than her nation-wrecking border invasion. There’s never been anything like it. For nearly four years, Border Czar Harris, and she’s the Border Czar, but now she denies that term, and she denies that she had much to do with the border. She was put in charge by sleepy Joe, right?

Polls and Joe Biden

And who likes, oh, you got to, let me have a free poll, please. I love these free polls. You know, you go out to a pollster, they charge you $300,000 for a stupid poll. They interview like 200 people and they send you numbers. I don’t even think they leave the office. I think they just make them up. Let’s see. It’s 50, 51 to 49. And, but here I get a truth.

If you had a name and he’s gone now, so don’t worry about it. But just out of curiosity, who likes crooked Joe? Who likes sleepy Joe? Who likes crooked Joe? Who likes sleepy Joe? Yeah. A lot of people do. A lot.

Well, now he’s got plenty of time to sleep. You ever see a guy, somebody told him he looks great in a bathing suit on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday during the week. And he goes to the beach with a thing that’s built, you know, it’s built for children to lift up, you know, it’s aluminum and he can’t lift it. He can’t lift his feet out of the sand.

And then he’s dead cold, knocked out sleeping. And I say, you know, if I ever hit that kind of a condition and hopefully it won’t happen for a long time, the last thing I’m going to want to do is be sleeping with cameras all over the place, taking your picture. I don’t want to be sleeping in public. He sleeps like I’ve never seen anybody sleep like that.

Joe Biden’s Golf Claims

He hits the chair and he’s within seconds, seconds, he’s gone. He’s out. And oh, and he’s a six handicap. Yeah. You ever see him swing? He goes like. The ball goes three yards if he’s lucky, if it doesn’t go backwards. Somebody said, you know, that angered you because they said I was very good in the debate.

John King from CNN, that was one of the great debate performances. I didn’t think about it, but they said the only time he got angry was when he said he was a six handicap. And did you notice he said, “I’m a six handicap.” He always says 6.2. You know, he wants to be accurate. The guy’s not a hundred handicap. He couldn’t break 200. I offered him a million dollars if he could break. You saw that. Now, a six handicap can easily break a hundred, right? Easily for those golfers. I said one million dollars to your favorite charity.

If you go out to set a nice course, we’ll pick from the blue tees like middle tees. If you can shoot a hundred, one million dollars. They never heard back from him. But did you notice he said, “I’m a six handicap.” And then within about 30 seconds, he said, “Well, I’m an eight handicap.” I said, that was quick. We got him up two strokes. Yeah.

Closing Remarks on the Current Administration

They said I was the most angry when I heard that because it may have been more fabricated than almost anything else he said. Anyway, no, the whole that’s the whole story with these people. Look, they lie and they cheat and they’ve destroyed our country. They’ve destroyed our country.

He has… he’s the worst president our country’s ever had. She’s the worst vice president. There’s never been such destruction. And I mean, a war that would have never been had. There’s no way Russia was going in. I know Putin very well. He was not going in. There’s no way that Israel would have been attacked on October 7th.

We wouldn’t have inflation. You wouldn’t have had that travesty in Afghanistan, the most embarrassing day in the history of our country. No, we’ve never had a person like this. But of all of them, I think allowing 21 million plus, plus, plus people to come in from places unknown.

The Border Crisis and Its Impact

I think it’s… I really think it’s probably the hardest thing to solve. And it’s the worst thing that’s happened to our country. But they’ve invaded our country. And as I said, they came from the prisons and the jails and the mental institutions and more terrorists than we’ve ever seen come into our country.

We actually had a year where Border Patrol said that we had no terrorists. I didn’t… I didn’t believe it, but I love it. 2019, they said no terrorists have come into our country. None. I didn’t… I don’t believe it. I don’t believe it. But I use it anyway because it’s… what a hell that… what a stat.

But they said… But we were very tough on that. And there were very few. I doubt the worst. I’m sure there was some. But they said there was zero terrorists in 2019. Check it out. Border Patrol.

And now we have numbers coming in, the likes of which we’ve never seen. And the worst terrorists in the world are coming in from Yemen. They’re coming in from all over the Middle East and they’re coming in from places that even you don’t want to know about.

Crime Statistics in New York

An estimated 75 percent of arrests in midtown Manhattan and over 60 percent of arrests in Queens are now illegal aliens. Can you imagine that? So more than… much more than half are illegal aliens. And all they do is talk about how people that come into our country illegally don’t commit the same crimes as our people. They’re so wrong. And they’re more violent. They’re more violent.

Our country is being ravaged by migrant crime like nobody can believe.

Crimes Committed by Illegal Immigrants

In June, 12-year-old… And I got to know the parents… Jocelyn Nungari in Texas was tied up, assaulted and strangled to death by migrant criminals from Venezuela that Border Czar Harris released into our country. In February, an illegal alien shot three D.C. police officers right through a door. In June, an illegal alien shot two NYPD officers, one in the chest, one in the leg. Many have died. Many, many have died. You could go over these stats all day long… death.

In July, another illegal alien reportedly shot a San Antonio police officer with a rifle and shot him in a bad place. Only days ago, a migrant from Haiti who Kamala flew into our country very specially was arrested in Massachusetts for molesting a 10-year-old boy. Last month, another Haitian migrant was arrested in the same state for raping a 15-year-old girl.

They’re raping and they’re killing people at levels that we’ve never seen. And you’ve seen what’s going on in Colorado and you see what’s gone on in Chicago.

Gang Activity in Colorado

As we speak, heavily armed Venezuelan gangs have taken over entire apartment buildings and apartment complexes in Aurora, Colorado, terrorizing the residents. They’re taking over… the old days, you had to pay to buy that building. They just take it over. Oh, the people are living in such fear. They’ve… they’ve left.

Under Border Czar Harris, we are being conquered. We’re being actually conquered if you think of it from within. But as soon as I’m back in the White House, the conquest will end and the great liberation of America will begin. And you’re going to be the ones leading the pack.

Plans to Address the Issue

We will take back every single square inch of American territory. And that’s been invaded by these migrant gangs. It’s been taken over. I mean, real estate patches have been taken over. And this is just the beginning. You haven’t seen anything yet because they’re just getting… They’re just sort of assimilating.

And how about what they’re doing to our schools? They’re going into the schools. They’re beating the hell out of our other pupils. We’re giving them chairs. And we’re telling people that have been there, families that have had their children in that school, you can’t go to that school anymore.

We will dispatch ICE and the elite teams of federal law enforcement to clear out the gangs from Aurora and every other American city that’s being torn up and victimized. And we’ll get MS-13 and other vicious gangs out of our schools, out of our high schools, your communities and out of our country. We’re going to get them out of our country fast.

Dealing with MS-13 and Foreign Countries

You know, when I first came in, MS-13 was all over the place. We had so much. And I said, take them back to their country, Honduras, Guatemala, take them back, El Salvador. And a general told me, “Sir, we can’t take them back.” “Why?” “They won’t accept them back.” “Why?” “They won’t accept them.”

When the plane is ready to land, they have major aircraft landed all over the runway. So you can’t land the plane. The bus, the buses are stopped. They broke up the road. So you can’t get the buses in. We can’t get them back. They won’t take them. They told us don’t even think about bringing, we’ll end up in a big fight.

I said, “How much money do we pay those?” It was three countries in particular. And they have MS-13 criminals, the worst gang members. They make our gang members look like very sweet people. That’s the only thing good about it. Our people, our criminals look so nice by comparison. These are rough people. I said, “How much money do we give these people?”

They said, “750 million. Sir, it’s 750 million dollars, sir.” I said, “Let them know that effective immediately, they’re not getting any more money.” You know, we give it as foreign aid, like fools. We give so much money to people that don’t have any respect for us at all. Tell them the money is cut off. They are defunded.

I wish I used that term. We’re defunding. We’re defunding them. They’re delinquent. We’re defunding them. And they told them that. And the next day I get a call from the three countries. It was like almost early in the morning on the Oval Office.

“Sir, there seems to be a problem. Is there anything I can do?” They wouldn’t let for years anybody come back. They got them out. They got their criminals out of the country, gave them to us. When we sent them back, they said, “Sir, is there anything? Is there a problem?” I said, “Yeah. You sent in caravans, all of these people, and you’re not taking them back. You’re going to take them back.” “Sure, we would love to take them back, please. Would be a great honor to have MS-13 back in our country, sir. We love MS-13 very much. They only kill five people a year per person.” And they took them back. I still didn’t pay them.

Proposed Policies for Illegal Immigrants and Foreign Aid

I will support mandatory minimum sentences of 20 years for illegal alien gang members caught committing gun crimes, drug trafficking crimes, or acts of violence, or we’ll send them back to their country with the assurance that they’ll be put in prison. And I will make their home countries pay for the cost of their imprisonment through reduced foreign aid and high tariffs or taxes if they don’t behave.

You know, the tariffs are great. If they don’t behave, you just say, “That’s OK. You don’t have to behave. I’m putting a 50 percent tariff on everything you send in.” And they behave like little babies.

The days of foreign nations dumping their criminals into America are over. I will stop the invasion. I will shut down deadly sanctuary cities. And we will carry out the largest deportation operation because we have no choice in the history of our country.

Drug Crisis and Proposed Solutions

By sealing the border, we will also push back the flood of fentanyl and other deadly drugs that’s pouring into our country at record numbers. Under my administration, we reduced drug overdose deaths by… first time in nearly three decades by quite a bit, but nothing like it could be.

Because the only thing that’s going to stop drug dealers from doing their job is a thing called the death penalty. And I don’t know, people are ready for the death penalty. You know, a drug dealer kills during his or her life an average of… an average of 500 people.

So when you say the death penalty and it ends, I was in China with President Xi before COVID. I got along with him very well. After COVID, I didn’t really deal with him. I wasn’t so thrilled with him, but I got along with him. I had a good relationship. I said, “You have 1.4 billion people. Do you have a drug problem?” “No, no, no. We have no drug problem.” “And what do you attribute that to?” “Death penalty. Death penalty for drug dealers.” They have no problem with one point… They have no problem. The only problem they have is they send the drugs to us.

Under Kamala, drug overdose deaths are up 18 percent, but we’re going to stop the scourge. I will sign an executive order on my first day, making it the official policy of the U.S. government to completely eliminate the presence of drug cartels and foreign gangs in the United States. We’re going to eliminate them.

And as I did four years ago, we will deploy the U.S. Navy to impose a full blockade on cartel activity, because what they do is you block up the land… all of a sudden. The money they make is astronomical. Boats are no problem. Getting the boats, buying the boats, owning the boats, no problem.

I will get China to give their maximum death penalty to dealers of fentanyl. I had that deal worked out with President Xi. And then when I left, they didn’t do it. They didn’t get it done. He probably said they forgot. They probably did. But we had a deal where he was going to impose the maximum penalty, which was death on dealers that were sending fentanyl to the United States. How good would that have been?

Closing Remarks

Starting on November 5th, the most important day in the history of our country, no neighborhood will be left to rot from the plague of drugs. No citizen will be abandoned to migrant gangs and no community will be surrendered to violent crime. We will take back our cities. We will clean up our streets. We will restore peace to our schools.

And together, we will make America safe again for citizens of every race, religion, color and creed. Together, we will make America great again.

And thank you very much for this great honor of the endorsement. God bless you. God bless. God bless our great police. And God bless America. Thank you very much.
