00:00We have the greatest country in the world.

00:07They do not have to be screwed up.

00:09They are terrified that we are going to save this country by deceiving the Communist Democrats.

00:30Oh, I love you.

00:59Oh, I love you.

01:06Well, I have to tell you, flying out of the District of Communism yesterday,

01:12it sure does feel good to be right here in this room.

01:19You all are great.

01:22You're my reason why.

01:24And I tell you what, these guys down front right here with your socialism sucks signs.

01:38You know, that was my first campaign slogan.

01:41Save America, Stop Socialism.

01:46But we have a bigger fight.

01:48We have a bigger fight, ladies and gentlemen.

01:50I really want to talk to you about it.

01:52While I want to come out here and throw you all kinds of prophecies,

01:56I'm sick and tired of the lying politicians that do that, campaign cycle after campaign cycle.

02:02You know, November 4th, 2020, is when the real civil war in this country started.

02:09They stole the election.

02:13They stole it.

02:20They stole the election, and I was a newly elected member of Congress,

02:25but they stole President Trump's election.

02:28And heading into Washington, D.C., I thought to myself, I can't believe this.

02:33I'm from Georgia.

02:34I knew Georgia voted for Donald John Trump.

02:38I knew it.

02:42And so I called up some of my friends.

02:45I called up Jim Jordan.

02:46I called up Matt Yates.

02:47I called up some others.

02:49And I said, We've got to get together and do something about this.

02:52And then I found out that as a member of Congress, I can object to electoral college votes.

03:00And so I organized with many of my colleagues.

03:03There was well over 130 of us.

03:06I called senators and asked them to object with us on January 6th.

03:10I worked diligently on that, and I'm very proud of it.

03:14I'm proud that I objected to Joe Biden's electoral college votes on January 6th.

03:25And then I was shocked, absolutely shocked, at what happened that day.

03:31Americans protested an election.

03:34By the way, American citizens own the elections.

03:38American citizens pay for the elections.

03:41Tax dollars pay for it.

03:43And American citizens have a God-given right by our Constitution to have free and fair elections.

03:57And you have the right.

03:59You have the right to bring your grievances before your government.

04:03Because guess what?

04:05You elected that government.

04:07And your tax dollars pay for that government.

04:10And the American people empower that government.

04:13So if you don't feel good about the election, there's nothing wrong with protesting it.

04:19And there was nothing wrong with protesting the election on January 6th.

04:23And any Democrat, that's right, and any Democrat, and any person from the mainstream media,

04:31and anyone that wants to continue to shame us for January 6th can go to hell.

04:41USA! USA! USA! USA!

04:59Because let's be real.

05:01Let's talk about the two-tiered justice system in America.

05:05Let's talk about the weaponized government.

05:08The reason why I say the real Civil War started in 2020 is because ever since that day, our entire country has changed.

05:15I was in Washington, D.C., and I'll never forget when the Biden administration and Nancy Pelosi, a Speaker of the House,

05:22brought in nearly 30,000 National Guardsmen and turned our Capitol complex into a military base.

05:32And you weren't allowed in there.

05:33The American people weren't allowed in there.

05:35And then they proceeded to shut down the country over COVID.

05:41They masked schoolchildren.

05:43They shut down schools.

05:45They closed beaches.

05:46They silenced your speech.

05:47They kicked you off social media.

05:49They attacked the very core of our freedoms, all for a virus that they made in a lab in Wuhan, China.

06:05And yes, Dr. Anthony Fauci should be tried for crimes against humanity.

06:35Well, I can assure you, if I have anything to do with it, we will lock him up.

06:50But what they did to our country is something you only see in a wartime.

06:55And ever since then, look at what has happened.

06:59I'm one of the only members of Congress that frequently cares about, talks to, and consistently tries to help January 6th defendants.

07:14These people, what you need to know, these people are being locked up for years and years and years by our federal government.

07:22While the same federal government has completely ignored Antifa, which is an organized, Marxist, anti-government, anti-America organization

07:33that has attacked our government, our police officers, and retapped it across America for years now.

07:40They completely ignored violent BLM riots who burned cities, attacked police officers, killed people,

07:48caused over $2 billion in damages in our city streets.

07:53But yet, at the same time, this government has made sure that every single one of you know

07:59that if you dare come to Washington, D.C. to question them, they will lock you up and throw away the key, and your entire family will suffer for it.

08:13Do you think that we are free in America? Are we free?

08:19No, it certainly does not feel like it.

08:22And at the same time they have done this, they have ripped our border wide open,

08:28where millions and millions of people from over 160 countries all around the world have invaded our country.

08:35And at the same time, they want to tell you on television why you should care about some country called Ukraine

08:42that we can't even find on a map, and why hundreds of billions of dollars of your money should go and pay for a war in a country that is not affecting our country.

09:00And listen to this, this one has me beyond pissed off.

09:06Now this same sorry government, these same pathetic individuals,

09:11these same people that aren't smart enough to even do the simplest task,

09:17who have put our people in over $34 trillion in debt,

09:23I mean you talk about math, it's kind of complicated, right, for these people? It's not hard.

09:30These same people that have ripped our border open, allowed terrorists, drug dealers, human trafficking, child sex trafficking,

09:39the worst of the worst, rapists, gangs, criminals to come in America,

09:45are all high and mighty and self-righteous, and they have got to lock up Donald John Trump.

09:54That is their greatest thing. The only thing they care about is putting President Trump in jail.

10:00And here's the one thing that has me infuriated.

10:04This pathetic trash, Alvin Bragg from New York,

10:09yes, trash,

10:12creates his fake charges, his fake felony charges,

10:19it is a bunch of bullshit.

10:28And he goes and convicts Donald Trump in New York.

10:32Now New York is the same state, the exact same state,

10:37where an illegal alien monster was arrested by the great police officers in New York,

10:44and they arrested this guy, but the justice system in New York did not prosecute him.

10:50They released him, and then that scumbag came down to Georgia and killed our girl, Laken Riley.

11:04You can't even comprehend it.

11:06The state of New York convicts a former president

11:10and the Republican candidate for the United States of America on fake charges,

11:16but yet they release an illegal alien that murders an innocent young woman.

11:21We do not have a country anymore, ladies and gentlemen.

11:25We are post-Constitution.

11:28This is serious.

11:30And I want you to understand,

11:32the reason why I'm talking the way I'm talking is because I work in Washington, D.C.

11:38I work with these people.

11:40They have the most unbelievable ideas for your future, for my children's future.

11:47By 2035, they want every single one of you to drive an electric vehicle.

11:51No, no, you can't buy a gas vehicle.

11:56Oh, you won't have a choice because you're a bunch of climate sinners.

12:02It gets worse.

12:04They want you to allow everyone in across our border,

12:08and then you're hateful if you don't allow all these people to just suddenly become citizens and vote in our elections.

12:16Shame on you.

12:20It's insane. It's insane.

12:22And by the way, I serve on the Homeland Security Committee,

12:25and all the Democrats say that all these people are invading our country because of the climate.

12:30Did you know that?

12:32They don't like the weather, apparently, where they come from.

12:36It's ridiculous.

12:38But they have further plans.

12:40They have further plans.

12:42They want to pack the Supreme Court.

12:44They will destroy justice in America.

12:48They hate Alito.

12:50They want Justice Alito taken off the Supreme Court.

12:52They hate Clarence Thomas.

12:54They want to take him off the Supreme Court.

12:57But it gets worse.

12:59They want to take away your guns, your right to defend yourself.

13:13If this government disarms the American citizens, you can forget it.

13:20But that is their greatest goal.

13:22That is their greatest goal.

13:24And think about this.

13:26Here's what I want you to understand.

13:28They stop at nothing.

13:30Because they have not yet stopped.

13:32They're locking up thousands of January 6th defendants.

13:36On average, one new January 6th attendee or protester, whatever you want to call them,

13:43gets arrested one a day, on average.

13:45Two days. One a day.

13:47They don't have a chance for a fair trial.

13:50They are going to put President Trump in prison.

13:54They want to put him in prison.

13:57How do you think we're all going to feel about the Republicans in Washington

14:01when they put President Trump in prison?

14:11I don't know how we can let this happen.

14:14But it will get worse. It will get worse.

14:17Think about it. They have a dementia patient in the White House.

14:22It's true.

14:24And they are concerned about him losing.

14:27Doesn't that concern you? It concerns me.

14:31He ran in the basement in 2020.

14:34And now they don't have him out on the campaign trail.

14:38Aren't y'all worried about that?

14:40I'm worried.

14:42And I'm worried so much that I talk to as many people as I possibly can.

14:46Because I'm telling you, I'm sick and tired of hearing how everybody's like,

14:50we're going to win in November.

14:53And they're practically measuring the drapes for the White House.

14:56And I'm sitting here going, I think they're going to seal it.

15:04So here's what concerns me.

15:07The fact that they aren't worried about Joe Biden being their candidate.

15:11The fact that they are unapologetic about putting people in prison

15:17like Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro.

15:21Innocent grandmothers that protest abortion clinics.

15:24People that just walked into Capitol, talked to Capitol Police officers and walked out.

15:29Parents that held their school boards accountable.

15:32If they're unapologetic about it right now, while poll after poll after poll has Donald Trump winning the election,

15:38you better be concerned.

15:40Because I'm concerned.

15:42And here's what that means, I'll leave you with this.

15:45Here's what that means.

15:47That means it's time to get every single person you know behind Donald Trump.

15:54I don't care if you like him or not.

15:57I don't care if they like him or not.

16:00It does not matter.

16:03Because everybody says it's the most important election of our lifetime.

16:08But I can tell you right now, we already lost our country in 2020.

16:132024 is about getting it back.

16:17Thank you.
