## Transcript

The Russia is a total fabrication. It's just an excuse for the greatest loss in the history of American politics. Cuz that's all it is. [ APPLAUSE ] It just makes them feel better when they have nothing else to talk about. What the prosecutors should be looking at are Hillary Clinton's 33, 000 deleted emails. [ APPLAUSE ] Most people know there were no Russians in our campaign. There never were. We didn't win because of Russia, we won because of you. The reason why Democrats only talk about the totally made up Russia story Is because they have no message, no agenda, and no vision.
