UPDATE: Video and Transcript Added

[Transcript] – THE PRESIDENT: Well, thank you very much. And keep that enthusiasm going. Get out and vote. We got to vote. We got to vote these people into oblivion. (Applause.) Vote them into oblivion. Got to get rid of them. So bad for our country.
First of all, I’m feeling great. I don’t know about you. How’s everyone feeling? Good? (Applause.)
And I’m honored to welcome — we call this a “peaceful protest” — to the White House in support of the incredible men and women of law enforcement and all of the people that work so well with us. And I have to tell you, our black community, our Hispanic community, thank you very much. Thank you. (Applause.)
But before going any further, I want to thank all of you for your prayers. I know you’ve been praying, and I was — (applause) — in that hospital. I was watching down over so many people. And I went out to say hello to those people, and I took a little heat for it, but I’d do it again, let me tell you. I’d do it again. (Applause.)
And on behalf of myself and the First Lady, it just has been really an incredible outpouring. And we’re starting very, very big with our rallies and with our everything, because we cannot allow our country to become a socialist nation. (Applause.) We cannot let that happen. And that’s what would happen — or worse. By the way, or worse.
I want you to know our nation is going to defeat this terrible China virus, as we call it. (Applause.) And we’re producing powerful therapies and drugs, and we’re healing the sick, and we’re going to recover. And the vaccine is coming out very, very quickly, in record time, as you know. It’s coming out very, very soon. We have great, great companies doing it, and they’ll be distributing it, and we will — through our military — very, very rapidly.
Through the power of the American — the American spirit, I think more than anything else, science, medicine will eradicate the China virus once and for all. We’ll get rid of it. All over the world, you see big flare-ups in Europe, big flare-ups in Canada — a very big flare-up in Canada; you saw that today. A lot of flare-ups. But it’s going to disappear; it is disappearing. And vaccines are going to help, and the therapeutics are going to help a lot.
I just want to thank everyone this afternoon. What beautiful colors. Where did you get that color, Candace? (Applause.) Where did that come from? That’s — what a beautiful color. I want to get one of them. I want to put one of them on instead of a white shirt. I want to thank you, though, seriously.
Every day, more black and Latino Americans are leaving behind left-wing politicians and their failed ideology. (Applause.) That’s what they are. They failed for many years and many, many decades.
Democrats have run nearly every inner city in America — and I mean for a hundred years — and their policies have delivered nothing but calamity, poverty, and trouble. Sleepy Joe Biden has betrayed black and Latino Americans. If you think he can run this country, you’re wrong.
AUDIENCE: Booo —
THE PRESIDENT: For half a century — shipping your jobs to China. That’s what they’ve been doing. We’re bringing the jobs back. We’ve been bringing them back. (Applause.) We’ve been charging China a lot of money too, with the tariffs. A lot of money. Billions and billions of dollars.
Opening your borders to mass illegal immigration. The wall is now 380 miles long; it’ll soon be finished. (Applause.) Trapping us in endless foreign wars — these ridiculous foreign wars that last for 19 years. Our people are coming back home. You know that.
And selling you out to the rich, globalist Wall Street donors. They have the Wall Street donors. They want the Wall Street donors. Someday, somebody is going to have to write a little story about that.
Black and Latino Americans are rejecting the radical socialist left, and they’re embracing our pro-jobs, pro-worker, pro-police — we want law and order; we have to have law and order — and pro-American agenda.
I want to thank the BLEXIT Foundation for organizing this event. (Applause.) Thank you very much. Thank you. And especially your two founders, two friends of mine, great people: Candace Owens and former Tucson police officer Brandon Tatum. Thank you both. (Applause.) Great job. What a great job. Two really brilliant, smart, young people. Great. And thank you very much for being here. We really appreciate it.
So you just marched to the White House because you understand, to protect the lives of black Americans and all Americans, you have to have your police support you. You have to have that. (Applause.)
If the left gains power, they’ll launch a nationwide crusade against law enforcement. And they’ve already done that. And you see them; they’re doing that at a level that nobody has ever seen before.
The other day, in the debate, Biden couldn’t even use the words “law enforcement.” I said, “Say ‘law enforcement.’ Say ‘law enforcement.’” And he was bailed out by the anchor. Then I said — then I said, very simply — I said, “Name one law enforcement group that’s supporting you.” He couldn’t do it. But he was bailed out by the anchor. Second time bailed. He got bailed out by that anchor a lot.
Taking their funds away, their firearms, their fundamental authorities — taking everything away, including your freedom. Joe Biden even said, when you call 911, a therapist should answer the call. That doesn’t work. That doesn’t work. But this is the people telling him what, because he doesn’t say. He’s told what to say.
You saw what they introduced today. They’ve gone through a period of years: “No fracking, no fracking, no fracking.” All of a sudden, he gets the nomination and he says there’s going to be fracking. For Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Texas, North Dakota, all of you, there will be — if it happens, all of those jobs are gone; your energy jobs are gone, if they get in. Just remember I said it. Okay? Just remember.
Biden —
AUDIENCE MEMBER: It’s not going to happen!
THE PRESIDENT: I don’t think so either. (Applause.)
There’s been — and I have to say, there’s been more enthusiasm — we have had more enthusiasm right now, right now, this year, than we had four years ago by a factor of three times. (Applause.) And we had a lot. And they had none. They have no enthusiasm.
AUDIENCE: Four more years! Four more years! Four more years!
THE PRESIDENT: They have no enthusiasm. In fact, the gap is so incredible, and a poll just came out. I think it said 56 percent of the people prefer their position now in the midst of a pandemic than they did four years ago. Think of what that means — 56. And it’s a Gallup poll, and it’s the highest poll ever recorded — 56 percent. Now, tell me about that.
No, we had it going, and we really had it going, and then the plague came in from China, but we’re getting rid of that, and we’re rebuilding it, and it’s going to be better than it was even before. (Applause.)
But the homes and churches and businesses of black and Hispanic Americans have been looted; you know that. They’ve been vandalized and burned by left-wing fanatics. Total bad people. They know what they’re doing. Yet Biden likes to call them “peaceful protesters.” You see people —
AUDIENCE: Booo —
THE PRESIDENT: You see anchors from a couple of the very bad, very corrupt networks standing, and behind them, the cities are burning and they’re saying these are peaceful protests. And you look, and everything is on fire.
And I want to thank our law enforcement, and I want to thank everybody in the community and the community drives who are working with law enforcement. I want to thank them. (Applause.) I think we probably have the support of every law enforcement group in this country, practically. I don’t know of any that I don’t. Maybe there must be some; there must be one. They’ll find one tonight. They’ll say, “No, he misrepresented.”
But we have a level of support the likes of which nobody has I don’t think ever seen before. I don’t think so. And you’re going to see that. And you see how many crooked ballots are being found and turned back in and fraudulent? Just what I said. Then they’ll say, “He doesn’t believe in freedom.” I totally believe in freedom. That’s called “freedom.” What we’re doing is freedom. (Applause.)
Tremendous problems with the ballots. Fifty thousand in Ohio. Twenty-five thousand — you have to see it. I mean, every day, there’s a story about ballots. Some thrown out; they happen to have the name “Trump.” Military ballots were thrown out with the name “Trump” on them. Okay?
AUDIENCE: Booo —
THE PRESIDENT: But I think we’re to swamp them by so much. Hopefully it’s not going to matter. And we have law enforcement watching. We have law enforcement watching all those ballots. They’re being found for a reason.
Left-wing politicians like Kamala Harris, who really did not do very well the other night —
AUDIENCE: Booo —
THE PRESIDENT: By the way, did our Vice President do a good job, Candace? Did he? (Applause.) That was — that was easy for him.
No, he did a great job, because we’re on the side of right. We really are. We’re on the side of right. And, by the way, we are, and it’s true. And I say it, and I say it all the time now, more and more: We are draining the swamp like nobody in history has ever drained the swamp. (Applause.) Nobody in history has ever drained.
We’re here today to deliver a united message to police officers all across our great land that American — and I mean every American, every race and color, we love you. Every race, color, creed, we support you, we honor you. It’s a dangerous profession. They’ve been doing an incredible job, and I just want to thank them on behalf of everybody here today, because that’s why we’re safe. (Applause.)
In contrast, the Democrats’ socialist program and platform — and it really is more than socialist. It’s not just socialist; it’s beyond socialism.
AUDIENCE MEMBER: Communist!
THE PRESIDENT: (Laughs.) He says “communist.” That’s — yeah, that’s about right.
But I recently announced my plan to deliver more opportunity, security, fairness, and prosperity to the black community, to the Hispanic community. (Applause.) And you know what it is — I don’t have to go over it — but it’s the Platinum Plan, and it’s going to bring back new jobs, like at a level that you’ve never seen before. And we’ve done a lot. We’ve done a lot.
But increase capital. It’s going to increase money coming into the black community, to the Hispanic community, where it’s been very much shut out. In advance, very much homeownership and wealth building. And it’s already taken place, and it’s taken place at a level. And had we not been hit by the pandemic, you would have seen numbers like you’ve never seen before. But those numbers are already rebuilding again. (Applause.)
We’re going to build up a peaceful and safer neighborhood program, like — like you haven’t seen, with the highest standards of policing. We’ll create a healthcare system that delivers better care at a lower cost. Obamacare is a disaster. We want to terminate it, we want to get great healthcare, and that’s what we’re doing: great healthcare. And we’ll always take care of preexisting conditions, always. (Applause.)
And I think we’re at a point where we’re getting. And right now, if you look at what we’ve done in healthcare — people don’t talk about it; we’ve done an incredible job. Less expensive healthcare at a much, much — much better healthcare at a much less expensive price. You can’t do better than that. And it’s happening, and it’s happening fast.
Another thing is school choice. (Applause.) You have to have school choice. Charter schools, school choice.
So I make this statement every once in a while, and people think it’s a little bit on the bold side, but we’ve achieved a historic reduction in violent crime. We signed a landmark criminal justice reform bill that nobody thought was possible to even think about. (Applause.) I did that. I did that. I got that done. And I worked with a lot of people, but we got it done. The Obama administration couldn’t get it done. Biden couldn’t even think about it. He doesn’t even know what it is. (Laughter.)
We have a — we have prison reform. We achieved the lowest black and Hispanic unemployment rate in the history of our country. (Applause.) The black youth unemployment rate reached the lowest ever, again, in the history of our country.
And last year, black and Hispanic American poverty reached the lowest ever in the history of our country. It’s all building back up so quickly. (Applause.)
And if you look at what we’ve done with criminal justice reform, if you look at what we’ve done with historically black colleges and universities, where we funded them; they couldn’t get funded. Nobody was funding them. For years and years and decades, nobody was funding them.
And if you look at what we’ve done with Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, Opportunity Zones and the jobs created — and I’ve said it very strongly, and perhaps — I don’t know, criminal justice reform, people say maybe that’s the best of all, but the fact is they’re all great. Every one of them is great. And I say the fact is that I’ve done more for the black community than any president since Abraham Lincoln. I say it. Nobody can dispute it. (Applause.) Nobody can dispute it. It’s true. Nobody can dispute it.
So we are now beginning the fastest economic recovery in history. We created a record 11.4 million jobs just in the last four months. That’s the fastest ever. The U.S. has seen the smallest economic contraction of any major nation anywhere in the world. So we’ve seen the smallest going down. If you look at it, that’s an incredible statement.
Our opponents will crush the comeback with unscientific lockdowns. They want to lock everything down. Here we go again. They want to lock it down. No.
AUDIENCE: Booo —
THE PRESIDENT: We’re not going to let it happen. We’re not going to let it happen. So important you get out and vote. You got to get out and vote.
So we got a great poll in Florida, got a great poll in North Carolina, got a great poll in Arizona. (Applause.) Got a great poll in Nevada. Actually got it. Just got a great poll in Nevada. I think we’re doing really well. I mean, this is in addition to states that we’re going to win. Georgia is looking fantastic. Texas is looking fantastic. (Applause.)
Well, think about Texas: They have no oil. They don’t want oil, they don’t want guns, they don’t want religion. I don’t think you’re going to win Texas very well. (Applause.)
No, we got a great poll in Texas. We’re getting great polls all over the place, and they understand it. It’s driving them crazy. And you know why though? And, Candace, it is — it’s because of the spirit. There’s a spirit the likes of which this country hasn’t seen in a very, very long time.
So I just want to thank you all for being on the White House lawn, this beautiful great lawn. (Applause.) And I’m very proud of this country. I’m very, very proud.
I want to thank all of the doctors and labs and scientists and all of the people that are working so hard, because we’re way ahead of everybody. But I just want to thank most particularly you, because you people come out and you come out, and you cheer and you love your country, and you get it. You’re way, way ahead of many, many people in this country.
But the country is getting it. The country is seeing something now.
AUDIENCE: We love you! We love you! We love you!
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. I love you too. Thank you.
AUDIENCE: We love you! We love you! We love you!
THE PRESIDENT: The people of our country — and the whole world is watching — are seeing things now that they haven’t seen in this country for decades. They’re seeing a spirit and a resilience like they haven’t seen.
I just want to thank you. And get out and vote. We got to make this bigger than even four years ago. It’s more important. This is the most important election we’ve ever had. This is more important than even four years ago. I used to say “the most important,” and it was true at the time. This is the single-most important election in the history of our country.
Get out and vote. And I love you. Thank you. Thank you very much. (Applause.)
Thank you. Thank you, Candace.

Will be watching ??♀️
SO WHO IS BLOCKING ALL THESE VIDEOS OR THESE TRUMP REMARKS
I haven’t noticed blocking..except by the usual Lamestream suspects
Something I notice, that I was very upset I hadn’t noticed for quite a while and frequently commented about on other forums is that whenever President Trump speaks in front of our United States flag, there is no gold fringe on them anymore. That says a lot to me. It’s a good sign.
Can you explain the gold fringe please oldguy? Ty
It’s go time for POTUS.
God bless the President
Nigella, Lovingly agree. God Bless and Protect our President!
Joe Biden to nearly double his campaigning time by calling lids at 9:40am instead of 9:30am.
Funny!
I see nothing wrong with the President giving speeches outdoors, even if he’s still positive, because he was away from people. People could wear as much protection as they choose. They can self-distance. They can choose to stay home or watch from further away.
Biden threw a huge hissy fit….What does Trump think he’s doing?
VP Biden, IMHAO, Pres. Trump has saved this country from the worst President ever & you were his VP, so that makes you even worse than the previous worst VP, Spiro Agnew, who was forced to resign over his corruption.
And we do know your record of corruption for you & your family members makes Agnew look like he was stealing coins out of vending machines.
The difference between you & the President. You want only chaos for the American people; Pres. Trump wants peace & prosperity for all Americans.
Sundance hope you will keep us apprised of the real election results on Election Day. We can’t count on tv any longer!??♀️
YES, thank you so much for mentioning this. And not just TV, but social media like Tw!tter have announced they’ll ban certain types of tweets. The censorious, leftist MSM only reveal their true colors by trying to shut out conservative communications. It seems to me they fear Trump will triumph and want to quash any celebration of his victory.
Patience I think Sundance won’t be able to resist covering early results. ??♀️
Hell, I’m tuning in to Young Turks
If it’s merely HALF as entertaining as last time …
Where are the guardians and protectors or the constitution and free speech ?
Those who have taken that oath and sit silently by as our speech is censored should be immediately removed and arrested for not defending it.
Their oaths of office are pure perjury. Seems to me that that is a felony and sitting senators and representatives ought to be charged and arrested for it.
This is a blexit event.
Can’t see it but the crowd sounds yuge.
PBS showed the backs of the crowd at the beginning and end.
Was about 500 people organized by Candace Owens.
Thank you very much SanJac for posting this musical video. I have never heard her sing this in my many decades. It’s simply beautiful and her voice is incredible as is the orchestra. Very opportune for today. What movie was that? I’ve been watching many old war movies lately. Check out Midway (2019).Thanks, Skippy.
Skippy, It’s from This Is the Army (1943)
Directed by Michael Curtiz. With George Murphy, Joan Leslie, George Tobias, Alan Hale. In WWI dancer Jerry Jones stages an all-soldier show on Broadway, called Yip Yip Yaphank. Wounded in the war, he becomes a producer. In WWII his son Johnny Jones, who was before his father’s assistant, gets the order to stage a new all-soldier show, called This is the Army.
…. & featuring a 26-yr-old Ronald W. Reagan, FUTURE President of the USA
whoops. It started on time!
Guess that’s what happens when the crowd comes to your home.
media – cant kill this man, cant stop his message, and cant understand why their power isnt enough
It is funny that the media made a huge deal about him taking his mask off on the balcony as a strongman dictator power move. Now here he is addressing a crowd from the balcony. That has to drive them nuts.
Perfect.
My favorite & only rapper I like would say “can”t touch this!!”
Short and sweet!
Awesome speech by President Trump to a wonderful group of people!
POTUS looks completely healed and recovered. Like he wasn’t even ever sick. Amazing recovery.
Yes, but can he move whole cities for one state to another with his bare hands?
He looks and sounds fantastic. It’s so good to see.
Such a terrific crowd. Looking forward to seeing some photos and videos posted.
Here is a pic.
Thank you! LOVE THAT.
I cannot make the like button work.
Verboten, click on Reply then click on the blue W underneath the reply box. That signs you into word[press, cancel your reply and your like button should work until you close out of The Treehouse. Boggystew taught me that yesterday.
Beautiful
Look at ALL those RED HATS…??
This is what matters.
Every reply to this pic are disgraceful.
Doug Mills is New York Times….. what else would we expect….
Only arrogant know-it-all elitists would actually be following @dougmillsnyt or any NYT reporter.
Every reply to this pic are disgraceful.
Candance has a live video.
****Candace Owens
Dozens of anonymous sources are now saying that Joe Biden has promised that, if elected, he will personally move the White House to Arizona, right next to its new city of Las Vegas that he just moved there.
Watched some boat parades last night – mostly in Florida but there were actually some in S. California and Oregon as well as other states. Also there were truck parades, golf cart parades. The thing is – the JOY – the SPIRIT – I’ve never seen anything like it!
Here are a couple videos – I think you have to be on Twitter to watch – not sure..
TRUMP Road Rally, Sun., 18OCT20, Lubbock, TX, 2-5 PM CDT (our SECOND rally – the FIRST one on 27SEP20 featured over 8,000 vehicles as we circled the city on Loop 289 – total of 27 mi.). People came from a dist. of 100 mi.
See: Cook’s Garage website – will be the host AGAIN!
WOW!
Awesome! (WP not letting me like again – sad face)
Up here in Amarillo. I heard they did a 4,000 truck last night down in Lubbock. If I would have known I would have taken the wife and gone down.
I don’t have a video but there was a Trump road rally in Bluffton and Hilton Head Island today. There were lines of cars adorned with American and Trump flags. It was a beautiful sight.
this was great … annnnnd right on cue Fox news dummy says he’s “Pandering” to the blacks … THEY are ones who MARCHED to the WH and begged him to come out. That black chick is STUPID
@realeyecandy1 – “That black chick is STUPID” lol
She ain’t “blackfolk” she’s “crackfolk”!!
(I based this on the “skinfolk not “kinfolk” saying that was going around in the BLM sphere – lol. Pretty cool huh? lol AND about JUST as silly , stupid!!)
“Crackfolk” ?. Good one bleep!
Replay..
Let God arise and His enemies be scattered.Father ,we thank you that your hand is upon our president mightily,we cover him with the precious shed blood of Jesus Christ,and decree and declare Zachariah 2;5 over him and his family..Let the fire of your glory surround them and that no witchcraft,no voodoo,no hex,no vex,no curse no power,no principality and no demon in hell shall prosper against them.Father we ask that you dispatch legions of your warring angelic hosts to destroy every plot and plan of the enemy.Father let your anointing rest strongly upon him at all times and our nation is brought totally back to you.Father ,we praise you,we glorify you in the name above all names ,Jesus Christ,King of Kings,Lord of Lords and soon to return Messiah,Amen.
Amen.
Pretty good optics today. CNN and the rest could not ignore it. Even though they did their utmost to marginalize it …. posting a crazy-cropped photo of only a handful of Blexit supprters they still reported 2,000 in attendance. Plus they put Candice Owens’ name in print.
Ok Treepers…I going to go out on a limb (mind you I’m a big kinda guy lol)…
Been popping in on cnn, to get the “melting faces” today, in light of the WH event…
Anyways…IS IT POSSIBLE that President Trump is going to FORCE America (AND the world through MSM) to deal with this “contagious” pandemic, by simply going about HIS business as , holding rallies, etc.?
I mean – IF in fact he is “sick” (as cnn is insisting), yet he DEFIES the current pandemic zeitgeist, the ‘science”, he doesn’t share his medical information (as cnn INSIST), yet carries on with LIFE…lives FREE, what can any of the media actually “narrate”?
What “spin”, what negative “news”, other than FAKE news concerning the outcome of his battle against the china virus”
Perhaps he DID learn a lot since being infected lol!
… the only spin they can put on it is “he’s endangering lives” by being out and about before he “should”
Trump is “a Media”. There is the Fake-Media and a Trump-Media. People who watch Fake-Media are sheep waiting to be led by evil Communist/Democrat goats up slaughterhouse chutes.
President Trump, cooler than the other side of your pillow.
ok, I’m stealing that one
I will be at the rally on Monday in Sanford, Florida, hopefully representing my family on CTH! Today I went to the Seminole County Republican office and they told me most of the calls now are from Democrats who are voting for Trump and Republicans but do not yet want to change their party affiliation to confuse the pollsters! In the past few days I am feeling a calmness that it is all going to be okay. God Bless America!
Interesting you bring that up, those are my feelings also, but I hate relying on feelings, so I am still preparing for the worst case scenario. Win or lose we have a lot of work ahead of us.
Can democrats vote for Trump in General election? Even if they are registered democrats?
I guess Pompeo has come through. CFP has a hot link to the Clinton emails:
https://foia.state.gov/search/results.aspx?collection=Clinton_Email
While many are bland nothing routine pieces, there are also a number in which significant text is completely blanked … which tells me there are plenty of classified passages or these are so sensitive as would embarrass the US before the county being discussed.
Guess I could take a few hours to bore myself to see what gems may be buried.
It is silly to blank out ANY of these emails or “sensitive” parts. Why? Because if it was on an unsecure private computer in Chappaqua we can be certain all these emails have been freely available to the Russians, Chinese, Iranians and North Koreans for the past 4 years or longer. This information is so stale they probably print them out and use it to wrap their kids lunches. Every peasant in Afghanistan probably has translated copies to use for joke-telling at wedding parties.
Only American citizens have been deprived of this entertainment. So dont tell me its “sensitive” , or will reveal “sources and methods” – they have already been revealed to the entire world – for years!
Too many redactions. Feels like a waste of time to read because of that. I will keep trying every so often. I am interested in clinton foundation emails-looking for quid pro quo. Haven’t run across wedding or yoga letters yet haha.
Why redactions for “weddings and yoga”?
Platinum Plan!
45 is investing in Capitalism!!!
let regular people in local communities build wealth the old fashioned way…grit hard work prayer!!!
There’s an hour and a half vid of the D.C. Blexit/Back the Blue March here (from Breitbart)
