Video Transcript:
If you don't mind, I'll make a quick digression.
Mr. President, have you ever seen the movie True Grit? Yes, John Wayne. Yes, so I
was my honor
to
live under you and help get you elected for 8 years ago and then I watched those 4 years and I have seen what's happened in intervening 4 years to everything that was done with you leading up to the calamity
of Butler PA
and I hope you don't mind me saying this but you have true grit. You have true grit.
It
is our honor
to do all we can. I live in Montgomery County in Abington Township, and the GOP in Montgomery County in Abington Township
is working every day from now through November 5th to get you elected. And we're doing it. So thank you very much.
I know I, I know I digress, but I honestly mean it. And my wife will add some more. But you asked about
how we can help seniors.
Mr. President, for 4 years you showed us what a strong economy looks like.
A strong economy helps seniors.
A strong economy helps people on fixed income. A strong economy helps people who are below the average amount of money or maybe struggling, and we have them in our own neighborhood. What a strong economy
we need is low energy prices, and I know you're all for low energy.
We need an all of the above solution.
We need nuclear, we need natural gas, we need coal, we need electrical coming from wind and we need it from water and everywhere else we can get it. But it's all of the above.
That will lower our prices for food prices,
gasoline prices,
the prices that seniors and fixed income people pay in the wintertime,
and basically it's going to lower inflation, which is the tax of crypto to solve.
And we've had that before, we'll have that with you. From what I understand of the Harris Plan, it consists of 2 things.
1 is divide people. And the second 1 is raise taxes.
That doesn't solve anything, and any economist will tell you, you tax things, you get less of it. You lower the taxes on things, you get more of it. And the other thing I'd like to say, and folks, I hope you understand this, Tim Walz is the governor of Minnesota.
Minnesota is 1 of only 10 states that tax
Social Security
income
at the state level. So she chose him. So for all of us in Pennsylvania,
we don't have that right now. What can we expect? That is anti-fixed
income. That is anti-senior. And I'm afraid that that's what we may look forward to. And the last thing I'll ask you, just because I don't know the answer to this,
what does 10 million plus illegal aliens coming into our country
look forward to as far as the Social Security Trust fund is concerned, as far as Medicare is concerned.
How can we look at our own kids and go forward and say, we have any idea about it because nobody does? This is a catastrophe.
So those are my thoughts.
Well, there's a good thought.
And the only the only mistake that this great husband of yours made was it's not 10 million, it's probably 21 million, you know, which is — and that doesn't include the Gadaways. You know the Gadaway. Those are the people that just pour in and, you know, They're just — they're all pouring in.
And
we're not going to stand for it, number 1. And number 2 — — number 2, we can't. And, you know, the reason they come is because we say we'll give you — I mean, they actually tell them, we're going to give you health care, we're going to give you this, We're going to give you Social Security. We're going to give you education.
We have a community in Springfield, Ohio,
with 32, 000
illegal migrants who are put into a 50, 000-person
community, and you can't get into the hospitals, you can't get into the schools, You can't do anything. It's a disaster
and it's all got a chance. It's not sustainable I mean, it's not yet a nice community Springfield
and now it's you heard about this Mike 32, 000
illegal migrants now, they sort of made it legal by playing cutie with the law, but they're illegal migrants. And
it's just not sustainable. This is happening all over the country. In terms of pricing,
what you're really alluding to is drill, baby, drill. Because when we bring the energy costs down, everything is coming down. And we have more energy under our feet than any other country including Saudi Arabia and Russia
And we were as you know energy independent 4 years ago, and now it's a mess We're buying it from we're buying tar big bats of tar from Venezuela, and we're refining it It's a mess, and we have the best energy with the best oil We have the most oil and we don't want to we don't want to use it. We want to go and give money. You know, Venezuela is the enemy, and we now are making them a very rich enemy. It's not even believable what they're doing.
They don't know what the hell they're doing. But we're going to drill, baby, drill. We're going to use ourself. We don't need anybody else's.
And we're going to open up ANWR in Alaska, which is as big as Saudi Arabia, they say, the biggest in the world. I got it open. Ronald Reagan couldn't do it. Nobody could do it for 60 years. They couldn't do it. I got it done. And Biden comes in and he decides to not let it happen. I'll get that thing open so fast. We'll supply to everybody
And we'll start paying down our debt and all of those good things. But your costs are going to come down. You bring energy. Energy is really more than anything else who was there spending, but it was also energy. That's really what brought up the costs. Because energy, you need it for everything.
If you make donuts, you need it for the stove, you need it for the trucks for delivery, you need. And we're going to have so much energy. And 1 of the pledges that I make is that we are going to have energy costs, which are very high right now. And that includes gasoline. We're going to get rid of the mandate, by the way, the electric mandate for your cars.
That's going to come off. And that's great. You know, if somebody wants an electric car, I mean, Elon Musk gave me the biggest endorsement you've ever seen, and his cars are great.
But
not everybody needs to have an electric car or wants to have an electric car. You're going to be able to get hybrids, you get regular gasoline powered cars, but we're going to bring your energy cost down
by 50 percent within 1 year. By the way, it's going to be easy. We can do it. Nobody else can because we have so much. It's right under us. Even in New York State, they don't realize that New York State
is sitting on a tremendous amount. And
if they used it, Lee would I told Lee, Lee would have opened that up in 2 seconds. They don't want to drill for the environment
And the people in Pennsylvania,
they're sitting there. They have a Cadillac, and the people across the line, the line is right here, and they don't have a car.
And it's just absolutely — we have so much energy in this country. We're going to bring down the prices. That'll bring down everything else, and you'll be in great shape.
