[00:16:09] ≫Good evening, I'm proud to report that our country is [00:16:11] safer, stronger, and far wealthier than it has ever been [00:16:13] before. We are doing great. [00:16:17] Less than 2 years ago, we inherited an economic and [00:16:19] social disaster. [00:16:23] After the worst inflation and 48 years, [00:16:28] the wide open borders with millions and millions of people [00:16:30] pouring in from all over the world including criminals of [00:16:32] all types, [00:16:35] and 11,888 murderers - many of whom killed more than one [00:16:37] person. We had transgender for everyone. [00:16:42] Men and women sports. [00:16:50] Crime ravaging our cities, and the world was laughing at us as [00:16:52] a nation. But, not anymore. [00:16:58] 2 years ago our country was dead, now, we are the hottest [00:17:00] country anywhere in the world. America is respected like we [00:17:04] have never been respected before. [00:17:10] We have more money being invested in the United States [00:17:12] than at any time in the history of our country. More Americans [00:17:15] are working today than ever before. [00:17:22] This week it was announced that inflation saw the largest [00:17:24] monthly decline in more than 6 years. [00:17:26] It just happened. [00:17:33] It was just given out, the media reported that and we [00:17:35] accept it. The best in 6 years. [00:17:41] Tax cuts in our great Big Beautiful Bill are saving [00:17:43] hard-working families thousands and thousands of dollars [00:17:45] like with the provisions, no tax on tips, no tax October-- [00:17:48] on overtime, and [00:17:55] no tax on Social Security for our craz-- great seniors, and [00:17:58] no interest [00:18:05] -- tax on interest for car, [00:18:11] our stock markets are at their highest point in many years, [00:18:14] but we can actually say [00:18:17] , of all time. [00:18:20] Your 401(k), pensions and retirement accounts are setting [00:18:22] records every single day. [00:18:31] We paid the highest price for prescription drugs anywhere in [00:18:33] the world, now we pay the lowest price under my Most [00:18:35] Favored Nations policy. Because, I was able to get the [00:18:37] rest of the world and the pharmaceutical companies to act [00:18:40] responsibly. [00:18:45] Drug prices are coming down by 70, 80, and 90%. Trump RX. [00:18:52] gov will ultimately reduce the cost of healthcare. [00:18:56] You have to go to Trump RX. gov and take advantage of it. [00:19:02] The cost of healthcare is coming way down because of what [00:19:04] we have done with prescription drugs. [00:19:10] And, with proper counts every child has an [00:19:15] access to tax-free investment accounts [00:19:21] billions of dollars are being invested, put and by companies [00:19:23] en-- and individuals that at age 18 [00:19:29] they will have hundreds of thousands of dollars in their [00:19:31] account and get off to a great start in life. For that, go to [00:19:33] Trump's. [00:19:37] gov and sign up [00:19:41] your child or any child that you would like to sign up. [00:19:48] Most secure borders in the history of our country, [00:19:53] with zero illegal aliens being admitted into the United States [00:19:55] in the past 14 months. That's zero. No one thought was [00:19:57] possible. [00:20:01] We had the worst border in the history of our country and now [00:20:03] we have the best. [00:20:07] Crime is plummeting nationwide with the murder rate [00:20:10] at its lowest level since 1900 or more than 125 years ago. [00:20:21] We are making a record investment in our Armed Forces [00:20:23] and we have the strongest and most powerful military by far [00:20:25] anywhere in the world. I built it during my first term, and [00:20:27] unfortunately we are forced to use it now. [00:20:34] We one in Venezuela which is now working with us to produce [00:20:36] millions and millions of barrels of oil. [00:20:41] We are likewise winning big in Iran and you will see the [00:20:43] fruits of that labor very shortly. America is back, and [00:20:45] doing really well. [00:20:52] But we still have a major challenge that must be urgently [00:20:54] addressed, [00:20:56] because no country can be great without fair and honest [00:20:58] elections. [00:21:02] You have to trust your country because if they can be no [00:21:04] trust, there can be no greatness. [00:21:07] That's very simple. Note trust, no greatness. [00:21:16] I called for bold swift and decisive action to protect the [00:21:18] integrity [00:21:23] of America's elections, every American deserves to know that [00:21:25] when they cast their vote, that vote will be counted accurately [00:21:27] and a system and that is to make that system secure. [00:21:32] One where cheating and interference are not just [00:21:34] difficult, but virtually impossible. [00:21:40] Unfortunately, the system we have today follows [00:21:42] catastrophically short of that standard. [00:21:50] I'm announcing the immediate declassification and release of [00:21:52] critical intelligence revealing shocking vulnerabilities in our [00:21:54] election infrastructure. [00:21:59] This evidence shows that the election system we have [00:22:01] dangerously exposes, and really exposes, like levels [00:22:05] never thought possible, the hacking exploitation and [00:22:09] foreign interference [00:22:12] just as disturbing laid this [00:22:15] information has been covered up [00:22:20] and hidden from you, the American people, our beautiful [00:22:22] great American people, but that all changes right now. [00:22:26] The documents we will release starting tonight have been [00:22:29] gathered by the White House government [00:22:33] transparency task force. A great group of people. [00:22:37] Along with the staff of the president intelligent [00:22:39] environment-- [00:22:41] presidents to intelligence advisory board. [00:22:46] They have all personally reviewed the findings and we [00:22:49] are presenting this evening, and fully confirmed their [00:22:51] authenticity. You can see these documents for yourself at [00:22:55] Whitehouse. gov. Go check it out. [00:23:03] Our purpose in disclosing this information is not to weekend [00:23:05] confidence in election. But to earn the confidence [00:23:12] by confronting vulnerabilities and correcting them very [00:23:14] quickly. That's what we are doing. [00:23:16] The documents cover 5 major areas of concern. [00:23:21] First, they show that [00:23:26] over a period of years starting during the 2020 election cycle, [00:23:32] the People's Republic of China carried out what is believed to [00:23:34] be the largest compromise of election data in history. [00:23:40] Resulting in China's illicit acquisition of 220 million US [00:23:42] voter files. [00:23:45] That information includes need-- names, addresses, [00:23:53] political party preferences and other sensitive data [00:23:56] and engage in other nefarious activities which is exactly [00:23:58] what was happening. [00:24:01] This data loss presents [00:24:07] security nightmare. The intelligence even shows that [00:24:10] China signed a data exploitation unit specifically [00:24:12] to this new project. [00:24:20] Compounding the travesty, the 2nd step of documents we are [00:24:22] releasing reveals that members of the deep state - [00:24:29] very famous group of people in many cases, and our [00:24:31] intelligence agency work to actively suppress and downplay [00:24:33] a information about China's [00:24:39] election meddling covering it up from the president and the [00:24:41] American people like no one thought was possible. [00:24:48] US agencies began learning about the compromise of voter [00:24:50] registration files in 2020 when they discovered that tens of [00:24:52] millions of voter data .. Think of that, tens of millions [00:24:57] do it or-- voter data, [00:25:03] have been bought, stolen, or hacked by China. [00:25:06] Those responsible for sounding the alarm instead The [00:25:08] information secret and hidden. [00:25:11] They did not disclose the [00:25:16] information to me, as president, or anyone else. They [00:25:18] did not inform Congress. [00:25:22] In fact all they kept saying is, this is the most secure [00:25:24] election in the history of our country. [00:25:26] Standard line that was divvied out. [00:25:32] The cover-up of this security breach [00:25:39] is even more disturbing in light of the additional [00:25:41] information showing that China engaged in other election [00:25:43] related activities to undermine my first administration and our [00:25:45] 2020 campaign. [00:25:51] They did not want, and they just didn't want it, they [00:25:53] fought like hell not to have Donald Trump to win. And for [00:25:55] good reason. As the documents we are releasing [00:26:03] CIA reporting explicitly stated, and I quote [00:26:07] "in mid-2018 the Chinese Communist Party [00:26:11] was to leverage all domestic and foreign elements [00:26:17] that were opposed to the US president in an effort to [00:26:19] reduce the US president votes and make him resign or prevent [00:26:21] his reelection. " Isn't that nice? [00:26:30] Also, in mid-2018 China was working to influence the [00:26:32] results of the US midterm elections and later the results [00:26:34] of the 2020 presidential election itself. [00:26:40] Separately made 2019 the Chinese government strategy [00:26:42] against the United States was focused on undermining domestic [00:26:44] confidence in the US president. [00:26:49] They wanted to just make you sound like a president wasn't [00:26:51] so hot. When actually, your president has done a great job. [00:26:54] And they did everything possible to do exactly that. [00:27:02] Going on this document, this is by the CIA, [00:27:08] the strategy included efforts to include Chinese context with [00:27:10] big US companies to influence US patent -- business leaders [00:27:12] to turn against the United States president. [00:27:19] They identifies [00:27:23] journalists that reported negatively on the US president [00:27:25] and pay them large sums of money [00:27:33] to write as much [00:27:38] as they could do. [00:27:44] They wanted the US president to lose the next election and the [00:27:46] reason why they wanted me to lose is because they knew I was [00:27:48] wise to them. Charge them billions and billions of [00:27:50] dollars worth of tariffs and built the strongest military [00:27:52] anywhere in the world. We have the strongest military anywhere [00:27:54] in the world. [00:27:57] These are exact quotes from the CIA reporting. [00:28:01] " The name of the person doing [00:28:05] the quote is now hundred-- now under review, [00:28:19] buried by rogue bureaucrats, including an attempt to [00:28:21] manufacture illegal ballots [00:28:25] for Joe Biden. [00:28:30] Documents show that during this time, dozens of significant CIA [00:28:32] and NSA reports about China's election targeting were kept [00:28:34] out of the presidential breathing. These were [00:28:36] briefings--- presidential briefings. These were briefings [00:28:39] I would get every day. That was kept out. [00:28:44] One email among intelligence admitted that they had the brew [00:28:47] -- " [00:28:51] deliberately massaged daily briefing to [00:28:55] withhold Chinese briefings regarding to the election. " [00:28:59] There's another [00:29:04] that said that she was running a shadow government from [00:29:13] keeping it away from the Honorable price, and other [00:29:15] officials that witnessed such efforts perceive the [00:29:17] motivations to be blatantly political. Recently we found [00:29:19] significant [00:29:22] numbers of burn bags [00:29:27] in formation, and this is a group of bags that were used to [00:29:29] destroy information. [00:29:34] Given by President Barack Obama to be burned. It was supposed [00:29:36] to be burned. These bags were supposed to be [00:29:43] at a different level by different people incinerated [00:29:45] and checked but it never happened. Maybe we got lucky. [00:29:53] We believe this was not done on purpose but rather through [00:29:55] gross incompetence of the people that were supposed to [00:29:57] burn them. [00:30:03] But the findings are stunning. [00:30:07] Today I'm asking the office of the director of national [00:30:09] intelligence, the Department of Justice, FBI and CIA to [00:30:11] investigate how and why such crucial information was hidden [00:30:13] - to fire those involved in the cover-up and file which-- [00:30:19] criminal charges against these people concealing China's [00:30:21] meddling was only the beginning. The 3rd set of [00:30:24] documents we are releasing [00:30:29] many years Americans were blatantly lied to about [00:30:33] the security of our election infrastructure including [00:30:36] electronic voting machines and ballot counting [00:30:40] systems. Dishonest, almost all. They are vulnerable and easily [00:30:44] compromised and people within our government knew that. [00:30:53] Tonight we are publishing a seriously of previously [00:30:55] classified US intelligence community assessments and [00:30:57] other reports proving that our government has [00:31:00] known these machines are extremely exposed to attacks. [00:31:08] The United States adversaries including [00:31:13] in a minimum Russia, China, North Korea, [00:31:17] and nonstate groups have the capability to compromise US [00:31:19] American infrastructure. That's some statement. [00:31:25] Made by supposedly great patriots of our country. [00:31:34] The document goes on to further state that we assess [00:31:36] centralized election related data repositories such as voter [00:31:38] registration databases [00:31:42] old books and other official election websites are most [00:31:44] vulnerable to exploitation [00:31:47] and adversaries [00:31:51] use as access to the systems to disrupt election processes [00:31:53] within the United States of America. [00:31:57] Tonight we are releasing all of those findings [00:32:01] and spanning from January 2020- June 2026 this is cyber threat [00:32:04] aimed at the heart of our democracy. [00:32:11] Many people have questioned whether it could actually be [00:32:13] possible [00:32:16] to electronically manipulate vote totals or change election [00:32:21] results all these terrible machines. [00:32:26] We are releasing documents that show the CIA obtained reporting [00:32:28] of a specific plot to [00:32:30] do a big number in favor of the corrupt Maduro regime [00:32:35] in Venezuela and that's exactly [00:32:40] what happened. Conspiring to digitally rated their own [00:32:42] countries elections in 2020 and that's what they did. [00:32:47] This reporting included precise details about methods to regime [00:32:49] develop [00:32:54] digitally alter vote totals in ways that could not [00:32:56] be detected even with an audit no matter how deep they went. [00:33:03] This intelligence underscores why we must take urgent action [00:33:05] to ensure that our own system can never ever be hacked or [00:33:07] compromised like it was in the past. [00:33:16] The 4th set of documents reveals even when significant [00:33:18] evidence of fraud has been detected, it has been buried [00:33:20] and covered up. Among the disclosures tonight are FBI [00:33:24] files [00:33:28] detailing evidence of alleged fraud by a large-scale voter [00:33:30] registration operation in Michigan. In 2020 Michigan [00:33:35] State police raided a Democrat "get out the vote" organization [00:33:38] corrupt [00:33:41] vote and we are so concerned by what they found. [00:33:47] They couldn't believe it actually, that they contacted [00:33:49] the FBI in Detroit. [00:33:53] The documents state that some [00:33:58] canvassers admitted to FBI agents that they signed voter [00:34:00] registration forms and other people names, submitted [00:34:02] fraudulent registration for people that did not exist. [00:34:06] And received gift cards tied to their number of applications [00:34:08] they produced. [00:34:13] In other words, it was pay, play, and cheat. [00:34:22] The FBI agents working on the case believes that crimes were [00:34:24] committed to get the Biden Department of Justice slow walk [00:34:26] to the investigation and killed it. Tonight I am asking the [00:34:30] FBI director to ensure that the matter is fully investigated, [00:34:34] and to work with the Department of Justice to prosecute those [00:34:36] responsible for any crimes. [00:34:42] Finally, to reveal just how vulnerable our elections [00:34:44] continue to be, [00:34:46] we are releasing the results of a stunning investigation by the [00:34:48] Department of Homeland Security. [00:34:53] According to the DHS review, state voter [00:35:00] and public record they identified approximately [00:35:02] 278,000 noncitizens who are registered to vote in federal [00:35:04] elections. [00:35:06] Since Democrat state refused to share their voter files, the [00:35:08] real number is higher than that. [00:35:12] Yet, [00:35:18] even this limited analysis found more than 1/4 of them [00:35:20] allowing-- 1/4 of a million [00:35:26] foreigners registered to vote, [00:35:30] no one can possibly defend the voter system. [00:35:41] Hundreds of millions of US voter files are in the hands of [00:35:43] foreign governments, our machines and ballot counting [00:35:45] systems are exposed to packing and manipulation and [00:35:47] corruption, China and other countries [00:35:51] have been trying to meddle in our elections, evidence of [00:35:53] fraud have been buried. [00:35:55] Hundreds of thousands of noncitizens and that people are [00:36:02] listed and active on the voter rolls yet we still have [00:36:04] elections with no voter ID, [00:36:06] no proof of citizenship, and tens of millions of ballots [00:36:08] floating aimlessly through the mail. [00:36:13] As one example of the insanity California's recent election [00:36:17] for Mayor of LA and governor was held on June 2, [00:36:22] a long time ago, but it was just completed a few days ago [00:36:24] on July 10. [00:36:26] Much more than one month. It took a month to count the [00:36:29] votes, I wonder what they were doing. [00:36:32] This is worse than any Third World country. There's no Third [00:36:35] World country that has elections like we have. [00:36:44] In a rare move NBC and ABC fake news have both said that they [00:36:46] would not cover this speech. They knew what it was about. [00:36:49] Because of the fact that they don't like the topic [00:36:51] because they know how corrupt our system is and they don't [00:36:53] want to reveal it. [00:36:56] They and other [00:37:02] in the media want to continue this fraud and keep it going [00:37:04] for whatever reason. [00:37:09] They want to protect the radical left, they can't have a [00:37:11] great country and that's true. You can have a great country [00:37:13] without free and fair elections. Fraud like this [00:37:15] should mean a revocation of their licenses. They use are [00:37:17] public multibillion dollar [00:37:23] airways for absolutely no money. They pay nothing. [00:37:26] All we want is honesty in our elections and honesty and [00:37:28] reporting. [00:37:31] They pain-- pay nothing for multibillion-dollar assets. [00:37:37] Great damage has been done to our country, [00:37:43] our elections were left vulnerable, to being rigged and [00:37:45] stolen, and the trust of the American people was lost. This [00:37:47] cannot be allowed to [00:37:54] continue every American whether you are a Republican, Democrat, [00:37:56] independent or otherwise, should be able to agree that we [00:37:58] deserve the most secure honesty and fair election system [00:38:00] anywhere in the world. Secure elections should be a partisan [00:38:02] .. [00:38:06] . We should be together. Democrats, Republicans, [00:38:10] independents, everyone. It should not be a partisan issue, [00:38:14] it should cause to unite as not divide us. [00:38:21] We should be united not divided. [00:38:25] In light of the brand-new and irrefutable information I have [00:38:30] revealed tonight my administration is in the [00:38:32] process of notifying the states with election data was [00:38:35] compromised by the People's Republic of China and many [00:38:37] others. [00:38:41] We will work closely to mitigate any harm and we are [00:38:43] taking swift action to ensure that [00:38:46] sensitive voter data is better protected [00:38:51] so it can never be bought, it can never be hacked, and we can [00:38:53] never watch a stolen election again. [00:39:00] Tomorrow the Secretary of Homeland security will hold a [00:39:02] briefing [00:39:06] to outline his department's recent work concerning cyber [00:39:08] vulnerabilities and electronic voting systems. They are bad. [00:39:14] We are in the process of informing governors, senators [00:39:16] and members of Congress of potential issues in their [00:39:18] states. If you look at voting today, it's in such bad shape [00:39:20] in so many states. And we are committing to fix it. [00:39:31] We are also committing to be working with the states and [00:39:33] local jurisdictions to help them X and patch known [00:39:35] technical vulnerabilities before the elections. We have [00:39:38] very important election coming up and we want those elections [00:39:40] to be honest. [00:39:47] I've also ordered DHS to notify every state about noncitizens [00:39:49] on their wi-- [00:39:51] voter rolls and direct them to remove all in eligible voters [00:39:54] from the re-- [00:39:57] list immediately. [00:40:02] But most importantly, demands that Congress must pa-- past [00:40:04] the Save America Act. [00:40:06] How easy is that to do? Unless you want to cheat. [00:40:15] The only reason you wouldn't do it is that you want to cheat [00:40:17] because your policies are so bad and your candidates are so [00:40:19] pathetic [00:40:21] that you cannot get away or can't get elected any other [00:40:23] way. [00:40:26] This landmark bill requires all voters must show floater -- [00:40:29] voter [00:40:33] -- photo voter ID. [00:40:41] You must provide proof of citizenship. Are you a citizen [00:40:43] of our country? [00:40:49] Hopefully there will be no corrupt mail-in ballots, if you [00:40:51] watched California, mail-in ballots are inherently corrupt. [00:40:54] So you would have no mail-in ballots except for [00:41:00] illness, disability, military deployment, [00:41:06] or travel, if you are going away on business or vacation, [00:41:11] these reforms are urgently needed to stop the [00:41:13] vulnerabilities [00:41:15] that I've mentioned. [00:41:21] To all Americans I ask you to pick up your phone tomorrow, [00:41:23] call your representatives in the house and Senate and demand [00:41:25] they pass the Save America Act without delay. Together we will [00:41:29] restore faith and confidence in our country [00:41:34] and we will be bigger, better, and stronger than [00:41:39] ever before. Thank you, God bless you, God bless our great [00:41:41] military and God bless America. Thank you very much.
