radical -- what the crazy, radical democrats did to justice kavanagh is a national disgrace. kavanaughoment brett was known, you know what happened, we announced the name, we nominated him, and literally from the moment he was nominated, they didn't even know, it's actually, if you think of it, it's from before he was nominated, nobody knew anything about who it was going to be. i didn't even make my decision yet, and they started saying horrible things about whoever the person might be. they were on a mission to stract, resist -- delay, damagest, and destroy.

obamacare repealed and replaced. we did not get one democrat vote, but we will get it done. we had a little disappointment that night. a little bit of a disappointment great but it is essentially done anyway, because when you get rid of the mandate, the individual mandate, it's done. and what we have done with the remnants of obama care is we've kept your premiums down far below what anybody would have thought, through good management, through secretary alex azar. a friend of mine who has helped us so much, he is really smart, but i have to say his wife the last couple of days has become maybe the biggest star in the family. i said, rand, you have to get

her on television more. she has become the biggest star in the family. yes. [applause] a man that really has been a friend of mine, a special friend, and he's really something, he's a great guy. not everybody knows that, believe it or not. it's like mitch, not everybody knows that mitch is a great guy. he's a great people. there is something that happens to you when you grow up in kentucky, i guess. he's a great people. but you know, i call rand a senator of tremendous common sense. that is a great complement, common sense. and you know what?

spry,he is young, he is come up here for a second. come up here, rand. senator paul: the president says he's tired. i could take 20 or 30 minutes. i will tell you a story that shows he is different than any other politician. i went to him with an idea on health care. i said, let individuals by in a group, let them join an association and let competition drive prices down. the president said, it's a great idea. his staff said, we could never do that. his middle managers said, we could never do that. what in the president say? did the -- -- what president say? he said, make it happen, and it did. but it's true.:

we were talking about health care and rand had this concept that, he was so far advanced, and after -- and even the experts didn't know, and after they checked they said, he's right. he's right. association health care, where you can team up with other companies, you go in and you get phenomenal pricing, you have no problems with crossing borders so you get every insurance company, and it has taken off, rand'snd that was initial idea. that's true. and it's doing really well. inexpensive and terrific. and another man, a very special friend of mine, he was a great businessman, decided to win and run in kentucky. by the way, does that sound familiar? successfuls a really guy and he saw things happening in kentucky and he said, i can do tremendous stuff, and he really has done. and he doesn't want to be

political, he wants to get the job done. this state is doing so well. you have your lowest unemployment numbers in history. you have your best incomes in history. you have jobs and companies flowing back in. and all of that wouldn't matter if i didn't like him, if i didn't like him i'd say, forget about him, right? like him a lot. he's a terrific man and a terrific governor, matt bevin. thank you, matt. thanks, matt. trulyare here for a special guy. these are all special people. there is something about this place. by a lot.e win what did we win by, 38? 38. we won by a lot.

i have a feeling that mitch is going in two years to do very good, very good. he's going to do very good. you know, he goes down as the greatest leader, in my opinion, in history. what we've done is incredible together. that he is better when i'm president than he ever was before. doing much better. introduce the leader that we are all here for and all of our congressmen know exactly what i'm talking about. he has been so strong on all of the things that we stand for. tax cuts, regulation cuts, every single event that we passed, and it is record numbers of events, he has been at the forefront, and he's got a little bit of a

of aace -- a little bit tough race with a nancy pelosi-picked figure. booing] and i guess they did a lot of changing, they did this and that, the democrats do, that's the only way they can win. havenow outside, you 25,000, 30,000, some crazy number of people, and we set up movie screens. we set up beautiful movies green sent to those people outside, we love you. we love you. [applause] you have to see the lines, they go all the way back, many miles. a lot of them say they are watching screens outside. i like your location better, do you agree? but this is a special guy, and normally i wouldn't make a trip, but i have two reasons. one was, i love the state of kentucky.

andy barrher was that is a great congressman. come on up. [applause] rep. barr: mr. president, welcome to kentucky's 6th congressiomal district. [applause] a swing district that two years ago, you sent a message to the nation because you won it by 15 points. and welcome to madison county. a county mr. president, that you won by a whopping 32 points. home of eastern kentucky

university where we are right now. the most pro-veteran university in america. home to workers who relocated from eastern kentucky, who value a paycheck to put food on the table, and mr. president, thank you for ending the war on coal. [applause] madison county, home of the department of criminal justice training, the kentucky state police, two awesome police departments, and democrat sheriff mikecoil, the sheriff of the year who says mr. president, to keep the drugs out of our community, we need to build the wall. -- communities, we need to build

the wall. [applause] and when i first met you, mr. president, i told you about our drug problem in kentucky and you listened. six months later, i was in the white house with you when you declared a national public health emergency to fight the drug epidemic, the opioid epidemic, and we work together and we funded the most significant investment to fight drug crisis in american history. this president is a man of action. a man of action. other people resist, of this -- but this president gets results.

and so, i want to turn it over to him but i want to remember one special night two years ago in cleveland. the moment i knew this man would be the next president of the united states. remember? remember what he said, he said that my opponent has a slogan, and that slogan is i am with her. remember what he said next? what he said was, i have a different slogan, and that slogan is i am with you, the american people. mr. president, i am with you, to fight for the american people! [applause]

pres. trump: thank you. that is pretty good. now, you know the one thing andy didn't say is that she paid a lot of money for that slogan. [laughter] and the morning after i came up with my little feel on it, they changed the slogan. it was gone. it was gone. but we weren't gone. because this was the single greatest movement in the history of american politics. [applause] and our slogan was a great slogan. i think it's the greatest slogan that anybody will ever come up with. although in two years, ours is, make america great again, look at all these hats, and at the

rate we're going it's going to happen fast, it's called keep america great. got to be that. right? [applause] so i am here for andy barr, and that is a vote for safe communities, strong borders and kentucky values. a vote for andy's opponent, i had to do a little checking, who's he running against? this is an extreme liberal named amy mcgrath. [audience boos] chosen by nancy pelosi, maxine waters, that's a real beauty, and the radical democrat mob. now, amy supports socialist -- a socialist takeover of your

healthcare, which by the way means your taxes will triple if you are lucky, she supports open borders, she needs the tax hikes to cover her through the roof garbage that you want no part of. and she wants to immediately decimate your thriving coal industry. -- your now thriving coal industry. so if you want to stop nancy pelosi from becoming speaker of the house, no, we can't do that. that will not be good. then you have to get out and vote for andy barr, a great man. actually i must tell you, kentucky, you are always

involved in the middle of politics. the election of andy is a very important thing, it could mean the difference between unbelievable continued success and frankly, failure, where we fight two more years with these people, with these obstructionists, so it is really in important race. an important race. it could be the congressman -- we don't have to talk about him anymore. right? we don't have to talk about them but we were talking backstage and they said it, this could be the most important race there is, so get out and vote. we can't let this happen. a majority of house democrats have already signed up for socialist healthcare, by the way, it doesn't work anywhere in the world. it's good if you don't mind waiting like five weeks to see your doctor.

they come from socialist countries, they come from canada, because they want to use our doctors. they come from all over the world. and we are making it now better, and they want to destroy everything that has been built. all of that great foundation. they want to outlaw the private insurance plans of 2.4 million kentucky residents, and some of those plans are fantastic and inexpensive. the democrat plan would obliterate medicare and terminate medicare advantage for nearly 250,000 kentucky seniors, who depend on it. republicans want to protect medicare, and we will for our great seniors who have earned it and to have -- and who have paid for it. and republicans only will always protect patience with

pre-existing conditions. we will protect it. the new platform of the democrat party is radical socialism and it is open borders. democrats want to abolish ice and they want to turn america into a giant sanctuary for criminal aliens and ms-13 thugs. and do not kid yourself, that's what's going to happen. and they want to get rid of ice. they think ice isn't nice. first of all, they're incredible patriots and have a job that nobody in this group wants. [applause] they go in there and they meet the most vile, vicious people on earth. you don't want to do it. you might do it.

this guy might do it. you want a job? i'll get it to you. look at this guy, this guy will do it. he might do it. you might do it. but you don't want to do it. they go in there and they liberate towns, these people came in by the thousands and we are taking them out by the thousands. they are getting out. republicans believe our country should be a sanctuary for law-abiding americans, not criminal aliens. and you know this, republicans stand proudly with the heroes of ice and border patrol and law enforcement. you know that. we are finding the illegal aliens, criminals,

predators, drug dealers, ms-13 killers, and we are sending them back home. we are liberating american cities and towns. that's what we're doing. [applause] the only immigration policy democrats support is catch and release. how about that one? you catch a criminal thug, take the name, and you release them, saying please show up in five years to court. number one, it is ridiculous. number two, they never show up. what a mess. we have the dumbest immigration laws in the world. the world laughs at us, but we are getting them changed. we need more republicans, we need some votes. andy bar and if you elect republicans

this november. we will pass legislation to end catch and release. we will i will tell you, have you heard the other one? lottery. moderate. --lottery. out, comingick them to the united states. let me ask you, these countries set up lotteries. do you really believe they are giving us their finest? no. this is a lottery. this was chuck shumer's special deal. need to elect people so how crazy.of it and then you have chain migration. you know what that is, right?

the west side in manhattan, where i live, right along the hudson river, he is driving a car down this roadway where the speed limit is 35, he went about 70, and he decides to make a into a beautiful park that goes along the river with lots of people. many people were killed. into a beautifulnobody ever tae people that were horribly injured. they lost legs, arms, these are people that were running. they wanted to keep themselves in shape. they were working out. they were walking hand-in-hand together. they are dead. they are horribly wounded. many will never, ever recover. now what happens? what happened to him? it will be years of litigation, he came in, and then he took

chain migration, and he brought his mother, and his father, and his brother, and his sister, and his aunt, and his grandfather. none of them working. approximatelying 22 people came in. it is called a chain. isn't that wonderful? a chain. [audience boos] and we are stuck with them. where stuck with these people. and i do not want a chain. i want people to come into our country or -- on a merit-based system. [applause] and i want them to help all of the great companies that are moving back into the united states. they are moving to michigan, ohio, pennsylvania, they are

moving to north and south carolina. they are coming in and moving to florida, and yes, they are moving into kentucky. and with what we have done, we have become so successful, that we need people to come in with all these companies that are coming in. but we want great people that love our country, that respect our country, and want to work. [applause] safetyection is about and it is about prosperity. ande the last election, these are numbers that the figures back then, the fake news would never have allowed me to say, they would never in a --lion years, if i've ever

if i ever said this during the campaign, they would've had headlines, we have created over , and liftednew jobs over 4 million americans off of food stamps. [applause] you know what that means? means number one, we get rid of an unbelievable cost. you would not even believe it. and you know what else? you have a lot of happy people that are working. [applause] nearly 600,000 manufacturing jobs. manufacturing is never going to come back? remember? oh,previous administration, you think that is going to happen?

i guess we have a magic wand. we had the magic wand. and these are great jobs and important jobs. manufacturing jobs, companies pouring back in. african-american unemployment has reached its lowest level ever recorded in history. [applause] poverty hasican reached its lowest level in history. hispanic american and asian american unemployment has reached its lowest level in history. [applause] -- i am soieve sorry, i apologize to the women in the room. remember, i have 52% -- i got

52%. remember he said, they were all saying, he will not do well with women. ow, did we do well with women. we did really well with women. but unfortunately, the women's number is the best and 65 years. with letdown women. -- we let down women. 65 years, 3.6%. as the charts grow just a little bit, it will be historic very soon. the only reason to vote democrat

is if you are tired of winning. [applause] you know about winning, you people are winners. i am just afraid that kentucky is winning too much. send -- to see rand paul and mitch mcconnell and they are going to come to the oval office to see me and they are going to say mr. president, we cannot do it anymore. kentucky is winning too much. they cannot do it. they don't like it. they don't want to do it anymore. they're going to say, we are winning so much, we just can't. mitch, and that, iran, i am and rand, i'matt,

sorry, we are going to keep winning. i am going to send them happily back to kentucky. lot -- you are winning a lot. we won today with the great pastor. last week i announced that we are replacing the horror show, one of the worst trade deals ever made known as nafta with an incredible brand-new u.s. mexico-canada agreement called the usmca, usmca. and even the democrats are saying wow, what a great deal that is. if it is too good they will not supported. -- support it. even shook schumer likes it --

even chuck shumer likes it. we have taken the toughest ever action to crack down on china's abusive trade practice. [applause] china, and i have great respect for china, and i have great , thect for president xi absolute head of china. but you know what? they have been making 300 million dollars a year taking it out of our country. we have rebuilt china. and i do not blame china. i blame our past leaders. they should never have let it happen. i do not when china. -- i do not blame china. and thanks to our strong trade greatonomic policies, industries recently broke ground

on a billion-dollar aluminum mill that will create up to 1500 jobs right next to ashland, kentucky. ashland. under republican leadership, we also passed the biggest package of tax cuts and tax reforms in the history of our country. bigger than any have ever been passed. we have taken historic action to reduce the price of prescription drugs. ago, visor,e weeks a lot of drug companies announced substantial increases. and i said to secretary alex, and to alex azar, this is no good. we have to do something. i want to call them. so i hold -- called the head of

pfizer, i called the heads of i said sir,ies, and we will immediately drop the price back to where it was. timeand paul is the first i realize, how powerful it was to be the president of united states. now, they reduced -- and by the way, i kid, but i do respect that they did that. i really appreciate it. and know because of what secretary azor is doing it was a prescription drugs going down. we have countries on this theet, the exact same pill, exact same prescription, made in the exact same factory or plant, in canada, and in other countries all over the world, is

much less sometimes 50 percent sometimes more than that, it is much less than what americans pay. we are getting rid of the middleman. i will beng a number, hated so much by some people in this country that have made a fortune. but we are getting drug prices way down. and we started it last friday with the signing of two bills.
