00:00A place called America.
00:03In less than four months, our new administration has achieved more than most other administrations accomplish in four years or even eight years.
00:13We've actually done, for the most part, more.
00:16The day I took office, we inherited a colossal invasion on our southern border.
00:30An evasion like you'd never want to see here.
00:33Nobody should ever want to see it.
00:35But within weeks, we slashed illegal border crossings to an all-time low, down 99.999%.
00:44That's good, even for this great gentleman standing right in front of me.
00:49That's a good number.
00:50We had hundreds of thousands of people.
00:57They came in at the same time last year.
01:00And last month, we had, in this massive border, three people that got in.
01:09That's quite a difference.
01:12And we have no choice but to get a lot of the people that came in because they were not the best people.
01:18They were, in many cases, very bad people.
01:20We're getting them out.
01:21We're getting them out very fast.
01:22We're bringing them back to where they came from.
01:24We have no choice.
01:25After years of military recruiting shortfalls, enlistments in the U.S. armed forces are now the highest in 30 years because there is such an incredible spirit in the United States of America.
01:39We have tremendous spirit again.
01:41Just about a year ago, it was a big story, front page on every paper all over the world, that nobody wanted to enlist in our military, meaning we were way under enlisted.
01:53And just last week, it came out that we had the strongest enlistment, they say 30 years, but probably it's maybe ever.
02:04They don't go back that far.
02:05It's the best.
02:06And that includes police officers, firemen, everything else.
02:09There's a great spirit in the United States right now.
02:12A brand new poll from Rasmussen just showed that the number of Americans who believe the nation is on the right track, they have a right track, wrong track, is now the highest in over 20 years.
02:27And it hasn't been anything like this because for many years it was the wrong track.
02:33And I can tell you for the last four years it was definitely the wrong track, but it's the highest it's been in many, many years.
02:40We renamed the Gulf of Mexico into the Gulf of America.
02:47That was very popular, other than perhaps with Mexico.
02:52And most importantly for the people in this room, the days of economic misery under the last administration are rapidly giving way to the greatest economy in the history of the world.
03:03We are rocking.
03:04The United States is the hottest country, with the exception of your country, I have to say, right?
03:08I won't.
03:10I'm not going to take that on.
03:13No, Mohammed, I'm not going to take that on.
03:17Wouldn't that be a terrible thing if I made that full statement?
03:20But I will not do it.
03:21You're hotter.
03:22At least as long as I'm up here, you're hotter.
03:26But groceries, gasoline, energy, and all other prices are down with no inflation.
03:31We have no inflation in a few short weeks.
03:34We've created 464,000 brand new jobs.
03:39Think of that.
03:40It's almost a half a million jobs created just in a matter of weeks.
03:45Thanks.
03:46Thanks.
03:48Thanks a lot.
03:52Thanks.
03:54Thanks.
04:09Thanks.
