family and a a woman who was a Democrat then was a independent she went independent and last week she said I want to be a republican because this is what I stand for and I've always admired her and I've admired her because she was loaded up with common sense and it's all all about common sense I mean we're conservative in this room but we we can understand the other side but what we really are as people with common sense and I think that's why we won with the numbers that we won by Tulsi gabard thank
you Tulsi great common [Applause] sense and you have VI ramish Swami it's taken people a long time and now that name is emblazoned into their brain but uh V wherever you may be where are you V thank you V good he working with Elon on uh efficiency they're working on efficiency among other things and they're going to be saving a lot of money and making our country stronger and better and they'll be coming out with individual reports but a big one toward the end and uh you put those two together it's going to be really
great so we look forward to seeing it working with Elon and that'll be a great experience you're going to learn something from Milan I think right he's it's going to be great thank you very much Viv and great job what you've done is fantastic and somebody that I've admired for a long time but I've really gotten to know him in my political life but especially I think over the last year more than maybe ever before maybe more than even than the first four years because we had a a tremendous Success Through the first the my
first term and then bad things happened and we had to wait I couldn't wait I was going I was I was say we got to they're not going to do it they're not going to help us they're not going to save this country and uh it really dawned on me about 10 days out I said wait a minute with 10 days I waited four years 3 years two years all of a sudden it's 10 days and then every day seemed so long but I Knew by the crowds we were getting it was going to be
really something and new grid got up and he said this is a very special thing this happening because nobody has uh ever had crowds and and uh they just wanted hope they wanted something they just didn't want what they had and nobody expressed it more beautifully than n Gingrich and thank you n very much it was really beautiful and kalista thank you very much thank you [Music] kalista but the American people have just delivered really something very uh very amazing the biggest political victory in 129 years can you believe that new 120 they said the
the most consequential election I love that word it's a beautiful word most consequential election in the last 129 years well that's something so we swept all swing States we won the popular vote oh I love that you know in the last [Applause] one in my first term they said uh he won the election but he did he they always followed but he didn't win the popular vote that's what they say I don't even know is it true or not who knows but they would say he didn't win the popular vote and and we won the
popular vote by records now which still nobody can say that anymore about us nobody can say that cuz we won the popular vote and I didn't win it the people won it the great people of our country won the popular vote and that's what they wanted and this was uh something really special won the White House recaptured the Senate and now as of today recaptured the house thank you very much [Applause] congressman and on track looks like we have it the largest margin in the National vote in presidential year since 1928 that's a long time
ago well that's interesting that's when this house was built 1928 it took a lot of years but that was what it was going completed and something that I just read here and I saw from one of our friends from the uh from the news from the media we won I didn't know this we won 49 out of 50 states shifted toward the GOP significantly that's a big that's a big [Applause] number so we won the largest share of Black and Hispanic votes of any Republican in the history of our country recorded history of our country
so we want think of that we won the largest share of Black and Hispanic voters that's so incredible they unbelievable people we respect them we admire them they've been through a lot and uh they like us and it's it wasn't easy it wasn't easy but uh on the uh if you take a look at the border of Texas the governor called me Greg Abbott who's a great guy called me up he said you want every single town on the border and these towns were always blue they were a dark strong blue and we won every
single Town up and down the Border in Texas we won with married women what about unmarried women what happened to unmarried wom we won with married women we won half of all ages think of that more than 50% of the 18 to 29 year olds the highest in many decades the highest number and again it it really has to do with common sense you know people don't want Men playing in women's sports right they don't want they don't want you know I I said that during the last few weeks I was very heavy on the
common sense things like they want a border they want people to come into our country they do they don't want to have exclusion but they want to come in Legally through a system they don't want them coming in through prisons and through where you dump a prison from countries all over the world dumping prisons into our country the prisoners dumped into our country by the by the millions they don't want that they don't want all of the kind of things that you they don't want drug Deals they don't want gang members they don't want people
that are causing trouble they don't want people that the country doesn't want and they had a uh I would say a truth Elon would say an X but it came out and it had 12 different things and it went down a list of things and part of it was that the cartels were bringing in drugs they don't want them much stopping you where do you see where do you see the numbers that are going to be released in two days things happen to our country this is two days as of three days ago but things
are happening to our country that we we didn't see happening for years the Caravans on the way up 35,000 people they're breaking up they're breaking up they're not even they're not making the journey and we had three or four of the highest I guess almost every single day we set new records in the stock market we set new records economically we we're doing good now the only thing is Mr Speaker I think it's important maybe you should pass a bill you have to start my term from November 5th okay or November 6th if you want
November 5th because the Market's gone through the roof enthusiasms doubled it's doubled in the last short while and I watched a liberal commentator say you know whether you like them or not there seems to be a beautiful light shining over our country and even over the world I said this guy didn't say that but we're going to Def we have to defeat inflation and while inflation's down the costs are way too high and when I went around I heard something that was very interest the word grocery it's sort of such a strange and simple nice
word you know I'm going out for groceries today they talked about that more than any other item the groceries are too high and when you think about it that's a very bad bad thing and I talked about that a lot in the last couple of weeks and it resonated I tell a story about a woman she got three apples an old woman she had three apples and she brought them up to the cash register and she looked at the woman and she said is that the right price and the woman said yes ma'am I'm sorry
yes it is and she said oh that's okay could you wait one minute and she took one of the three apples and she brought it back to the refrigeration and she came back gently up to the cash register and she paid for two apples instead of three that should not be happening in our country that should not be happening here it's not going to happen here we're going to we're going to make it a much a much different place we're going to SL energy cost we're going to get your energy bills in half and that's
going to bring down the cost generally speaking and we're gonna have a whole new we have a big we have a big announcement and I won't tell you it's I won't tell you the name of his uh the exact name I think he's an incredible person got an unbelievably wonderful wife named Catherine so I won't tell you his name might be something like beram beram he's from North Dakota he's going to be announced tomorrow for a very big position so everybody's waiting there he is hi Doug he's going to be announced tomorrow and we have
