## Transcript

Donald Trump calls America a failing nation. No, I'm sorry. But think about this. Think about this. He publicly says to the whole world. I'm gonna say something outrageous. I know more foreign leaders by their first names and know them well than anybody live. Just because I'm so damn old. But I'm not joking. Think of the message he sends around the world, when he talks about America being a failing nation. He says we're losing. He's the loser. He's dead wrong. And we'll keep working to bring hostages home and end the war in Gaza and bring peace and security to the Middle East. As you know, I wrote a peace treaty for Gaza.

Few days ago, I put forward a proposal that brought us closer to doing that than we've done since October 7. We're working around the clock, my Secretary of State, prevent a wider war and reunite hostages to their families, and surge humanitarian health and food assistance into Gaza now. To end the civilian suffering of the Palestinian people, and finally finally finally deliver a cease fir. End this war. Studies show the major bills we had passed actually delivered more to Red states than blue because the job of the president is to deliver to all America. Because of you. And I'm not exaggerating, because of you.

We've had one of the most extraordinary four years of progress ever. Period. When I say we, I mean Kamala and me. Folks, I've got five months left in my presidency. I've got a lot to do. I intend to get it done. See, I've been the honor of my lifetime. To serve as your present. I love the job, but I love my country more. I love my country more. And all this talk about how I'm angry all those people who said I should step down. That's not true. Selecting Kamala was the very first decision I made before I when I became our nominee. And it was the best decision I made my whole career. We've not only gotten to know each other.

We become close friends. She's tough. She's experienced, and she has enormous integrity, enormous integrity. Her story represents the best American story. And like many of our best presidents, she was also vice President. That's a goo. I've made. I made a lot of mistakes in my career. But I gave my best to you. For 50 years, like many of you, I've given my heart and soul to our nation. And I've been blessed 1 million times in return for the support of the American people. I've really been too young to be in the Senate because I wasn't 30 yet, and too old to stay as president. But I hope you know how grateful I am to all of you.

Wait Wait Wait.
