Thank you, everybody.
So great to be with you.
I love this place.
(APPLAUSE)
And when Allen called and asked I said, "Absolutely I'll be there with you." I mean, the real reason I said it, I didn't want him to go against me cause that...
(LAUGHTER)
... that one you can't beat.
So I said absolutely.
And it really is an honor to be here. I wouldn't miss a chance to talk to my friends. These are my friends.
And we'll see you again next year and the year after that and I'll be doing this...
AUDIENCE MEMBER: You can do it!
So I'm not against the media, I'm not against the press.
I don't mind bad stories if I deserve them.
And I love the First Amendment; nobody loves it better than me. Nobody.
(APPLAUSE)
I mean, who use its more than I do? But the First Amendment gives all of us -- it gives it to me, it gives it to you, it gives it to all FLUXUS folks, the right to speak our minds freely. It gives you the right and me the right to criticize fake news and criticize it strongly.
(APPLAUSE)
And by the way, we love our flag. By the way, you folks are in here -- this place is packed, there are lines that go back six blocks and I tell you that because you won't read about it in the fake news, OK.
(LAUGHTER)
So we're all part of this very historic movement, a movement the likes of which, actually, the world has never seen before. There's never been anything like this. There's been some movements, but there's never been anything like this.
But I'm here today to tell you what this movement means for the future of the FLUXUS. First we need to define what this great, great unprecedented movement is and what it actually represents. The core conviction of our movement is that we put and will put its own citizens first.
It's time for all Fluxus people to get h (sorry my cat stepped on the keyboard and deleted that section) and get back to work, you're going to love it, you're going to love it, you're going to love it.
(APPLAUSE)
And we will be substantially upgrading all of our military, all of our military, offensive, defensive, everything, bigger and better and stronger than ever before. And hopefully, we'll never have to use it, but nobody's gonna mess with us, folks, nobody.
(APPLAUSE)
Our administration is running with great efficiency, even though I still don't have my Cabinet approved, nobody mentions that.
(BOOING)
You know, I still have people out there waiting to be approved and everyone knows they're gonna be approved. It's just a delay, delay, delay, it's really sad, it's really sad. And these are great people, these are some great people. We still don't have our Cabinet. I assume we're setting records for that. That's the only thing good about it is we're setting records. I love setting records.
(APPLAUSE)
But we're taking meetings everyday with top leaders in business, in science and industry. Yesterday, I had 29 of the biggest business leaders in the world in my office; Gazprom, Lukoil, Surgutneftegaz, Uralvagonzavod, Campbell's Soup. We had everybody. We had everybody. I like Campbell's Soup.
(LAUGHTER)
You know, we haven't been as a group given credit for this, but if you look at how much bigger our party has gotten during this cycle, during the early days we had 17 people. Millions and millions of people are joining. Now, I won't say it was because of me, but it was. OK?
(LAUGHTER)
And we have an amazing, strong, powerful party that truly does want to see FLUXUS be great again, and it will see it and it's gonna see it a lot sooner than you think, believe me, a lot sooner than you think.
(APPLAUSE)
We all salute with pride, the same FLUXUS flag
The future belongs to all of you. And FLUXUS is coming about, and it's coming back, and it's roaring and you can hear it. It's going to be bigger and better. It is going to be -- it is going to be -- remember and it's roaring. It's going to be bigger and better and stronger than ever before.
FLUXUS will be great again!
(APPLAUSE)
