## Transcript

Thank you very much. I want to start by thanking the Supreme Court for its unanimous decision today. It was a very important decision were very well-crafted and I think it will go a long way toward bringing our country together with your country days and they work long. They worked hard and frankly, they work very quickly on something that will be spoken about 100 years from now and two hundred years from now extremely important essentially you cannot take somebody out of a race because Nick would like to have it that way and it has nothing to do with the fact that it's the leading candidate whether it was the leading candidate or a candidate.

That was well down. On the totem pole you cannot take somebody out of a race. The voters can take a person out of there is very quickly, but a court shouldn't be doing that in the Supreme Court so that very well and I really do believe that will be a unifying Factor because while Most states were thrilled to have me and there were some that I didn't and they didn't want that for political reasons. I didn't want that because our poll numbers cuz the phone numbers are very good. We're beating President Biden and almost every pole New York Times came out yesterday with a very big hole for a selfie.

They didn't like that and you can't do that can do what they tried to do and while we're on the subject and another thing that will be coming up very soon. We'll be immunity for president did not immunity for me, but for any president if the president doesn't have full immunity, you really don't have a president because nobody that is serving in that office. Will have the courage to make in many cases. What would be the right decision or could be the wrong decision? It could be in some cases the wrong decision, but they have to make decisions and they have to make them free of all Terra is that can be rained upon them when they leave office or even before they leave office President Biden number one, stop weaponization fight your fight yourself don't use prosecutors and judges to go after your phone into dry and damaged your opponent.

So you can win an election our country is much bigger than that. The other thing I say to President Biden Close the borders now. This is not sustainable for our country. It's not sustainable for our cities. A country is under siege closed the borders. You can do it right. Now. You have everything use my policies. My policies were great. Everybody said it use my policies. So just to finish I have great respect for The Supreme Court and I want to just thank them for working so quickly and so diligently and so brilliantly and again, this is a unifying Factor. So I just want to thank all of you for being here.

I think it's a very big day for America. I think it's a very big day for Liberty and I think it's just a great day for this country again. I hope it's unifying like I think but it is it's a big step toward unification. I hope that the justices because I'll be working on some other cases but one in particular presidents have to be given total immunity. They have to be allowed to do their job if they're not allowed to do their job. It's not what the founders wanted, but perhaps even more importantly it will be terrible for our country. Thank you all very much. I appreciate it. Thank you.
