00:00You know the big difference with Trump's campaign in 2024 compared to 2016, it was so much more
00:07professional. It was completely different. There was an atmosphere of calm at Mar-a-Lago over the
00:12course of the last 18 months despite everything that he was being put through. You know Susie
00:18Wiles had been put in there, she'd given it authority, she'd given it direction. It was a
00:23completely different campaign. They go into, they go in on the 20th of January into the White House
00:31and he's got the power to appoint 3,000 people to positions. They've been working on those people
00:37for the last 18 months. It wasn't just Donald Trump they were voting for. Yes he was the
00:42towering figure but on one side was Robert F. Kennedy, on the other side was Elon Musk.
00:47He presented a much broader front than just the one man to the American people and that's very
00:52much what I want to do with reform. You know this is not going to be a one-man band just with me at
00:58the front. You're going to see other, well you'll see a couple of them today, prominent figures that
01:02will be up there. What he also did was put together a remarkable coalition of voters.
01:07You know with a big rise in the black vote for Trump, an even bigger rise in the Hispanic vote
01:13for Trump and I'll just leave you with this thought that in the last general election
01:19more members of what they call the BAME community voted reform than voted Liberal Democrat.
01:28And are Trump and Elon going to support me in the run-up to 2029? Well that's what friends are for isn't it?
01:38All right ladies and gentlemen.
