00:00There are a lot of reasons. I could be here all day telling you all the reasons we're going to
00:02win,
00:03but ultimately this boils down to one thing.
00:04The Democrat Party is being overtaken by communists, okay?
00:09There is a Marxist element you see happening in New York as clearly as anywhere else.
00:14This is not our father's Democrat Party.
00:16And though some of these people are trying to claim they're not for the DSA,
00:20the Democrat Socialists of America,
00:21I'm afraid to tell you they already put in writing what they're for,
00:24and they are winning elections all around the country.
00:27They won in New York City, they're winning in New York,
00:30but that record stops right here, okay?
00:34We are not going to allow them to abolish the border and abolish the prisons
00:39and defund the police and abolish the U.S. Senate and remove the president
00:44and not fund the Department of War.
00:46We're not down with that. That's not what America's for.
00:49And this is a contrast election for generations to come.
00:52We're at a crossroads right now.
00:54Now, on the 250th anniversary of the greatest nation in the history of the world,
00:58we have a cataclysmic battle in front of us right now.
01:01Are we going to hold the greatest nation in the history of the world?
01:05Are we going to keep the republic?
01:06Are we going to break this thing down to the foundation
01:08and go down this dark, dangerous, deadly road to communism?
01:12That is not what we're going to do.
01:14We're going to win in November, and we're going to keep this republic.
01:19What's going to happen 75 days from today?
01:22We are going to divide history,
01:24and the House Republicans are going to keep and grow our majority,
01:27and Michael Petri is going to be growing our majority.
01:34We need us here as well.
01:35We have extraordinary candidates up and down New York.
01:38New York is at the center of this strategy, okay?
01:41We have to hold the majority because the stakes are so high.
01:43This is a contrast election.
01:45This is not a midterm like one we've ever seen before.
01:48It's true that we have to defy history.
01:50Only twice in 90 years as a sitting president picked up seats for his party
01:53in that first two-year cycle,
01:54but I'm telling you that's what's going to happen this time.
01:57A number of reasons for that.
01:58We have an incredible record to run on.
02:01We have kept our promises in 2024,
02:02and we have made life better for Americans.
02:05We sealed that border close, my friends, immediately after that election.
02:11We've restored American energy dominance.
02:14We've gotten back to peace through strength.
02:16We have done what we said we were going to do in terms of tax policy.
02:19We did cut tax on tips and overtime and Social Security.
02:22We infused our legislation with pro-growth policies
02:24to make sure that small business owners, just like Gus,
02:27can continue to expand and grow and add even new locations.
02:31Gus, could we do this elsewhere?
02:33I know we could, brother.
02:34This is a model.
02:35Come to Washington, he says.
02:37Anybody who is a job creator, an entrepreneur, a risk taker,
02:40they now have a better environment in which to do that.
02:43They can grow more jobs, increase wages, increase opportunities,
02:46widen the pathway out of poverty for more hard-working Americans
02:49because of the policies that we did.
02:51We also have far superior candidates.
02:54And I'm telling you, in a contrast election,
02:56look no further than New York's 3rd District, okay?
02:59Michael Petrie is far and above his opponent.
03:07This is a hard-working guy who comes from a blue-collar family.
03:10He knows the travails of hard-working Americans.
03:13He's working every day to make life better for them.
03:15He's a trusted, tested warrior in the assembly.
03:18He has stood by law enforcement.
03:20He has fought for lower taxes, lower regulations,
03:22and a better way of life.
03:23And he's going to do that in Washington, D.C.
03:25We need warriors like this to continue to move the America First agenda,
03:29to make sure America continues this great comeback.
03:32We're going to do that.
03:33We also, because the stakes are so high, my friends,
03:36we have, for the first time in 10 years,
03:38a slight fundraising advantage over the Democrats.
03:41And that's a big deal for us as well, okay?
03:44And I'm going to tell you,
03:45we just left an event with Michael Petrie,
03:47hosted by some friends here in the county.
03:49And I'm telling you what,
03:50he set the all-time record, less than an hour ago,
03:53all-time record of any new challenger,
03:57new incoming freshman of Congress
03:59at a fundraiser at a single event.
04:00That's an awesome achievement.
04:02Thank you very much.
04:02Thank you very much.
04:07Listen, there's a lot of reasons.
04:08I could be here all day telling you all the reasons we're going to win,
04:11but ultimately this boils down to one thing.
04:12The Democrat Party is being overtaken by communists, okay?
04:16There is a Marxist element you see happening in New York
04:21as clearly as anywhere else.
04:22This is not our father's Democrat Party.
04:24And some of these people are trying to claim
04:26they're not for the DSA,
04:28the Democrat Socialists of America.
04:29I'm afraid to tell you,
04:30they already put in writing what they're for,
04:32and they are winning elections all around the country.
04:35They won in New York City,
04:37they're winning in New York,
04:38but that record stops right here, okay?
04:42We are not going to allow them
04:43to abolish the border and abolish the prisons
04:47and defund the police
04:49and abolish the U.S. Senate
04:51and remove the president
04:52and not fund the Department of War.
04:54We're not down with that.
04:56That's not what America's for.
04:57And this is a contrast election for generations to come.
05:00We're at a crossroads right now.
05:02On the 250th anniversary
05:04of the greatest nation in the history of the world,
05:06we have a cataclysmic battle in front of us right now.
05:09Are we going to hold the greatest nation in the history of the world?
05:12Are we going to keep the republic?
05:14Are we going to break this thing down to the foundation
05:16and go down this dark, dangerous, deadly road to communism?
05:20That is not what we're going to do.
05:22We're going to win in November,
05:24and we're going to keep this the republic.
05:31That's right, USA.
05:33I'm grateful, too,
05:34that we have a strong candidate at the top of this ticket,
05:36Bruce Blakeman,
05:37who's going to get this job done.
05:44Hey, I'll leave you with this thought.
05:46This is a turnout election, okay?
05:47Midterm elections.
05:49It's usually a lower turnout.
05:51We need everybody who loves America.
05:53Every single vote is going to count, okay?
05:56In 2024, think of this.
05:58Ten races that decided the majority in the Congress
06:02were decided by less than 6,000 votes.
06:05Every single vote counts,
06:07especially in New York.
06:09God bless this great state.
06:11God bless this amazing county and all of you,
06:13and God bless the United States of America.
06:15Let's get it done.
