President Donald Trump made a big appearance in the Bluegrass State yesterday as he visited a packaging facility in Hebron, Kentucky.

He spoke to around 1000 attendees, touting affordability and endorsing a congressional candidate.

He also talked about the attacks on Iran as fuel prices are on the rise.

Our Emily Sisk was there and she has the latest.

We will make America great again.

Thank you.

Kentucky.

President Donald Trump addressed this crowd in Hebron for more than an hour, talking about a multitude of things, from affordability to the attacks in Iran.

The event was held at First Logistics, a packaging facility near the airport.

The president said because of the one big beautiful bill which passed last summer, more products are being made in America.

We're making more and more things in the USA more than we ever had.

More people are working today in the USA than at any time in the history of our country.

And Ford Motor Company, a good old staple, has announced the $2 billion assembly plant in Louisville, Kentucky, which was importing more than 2200 Kentucky jobs.

The president shouted out a few more Kentucky economic developments, including Apple's glassmaking factory in Harrodsburg and a uranium enrichment facility in Paducah.

While Trump boasted about the tax cuts in his One Big Beautiful bill, he also called out the Republican congressman from Kentucky who voted against it.

You know what the name is?

He is the worst person.

His name is.

What the hell?

How did he ever end up in Kentucky?

His name is Thomas Massie.

Trump went on to spend much of his address talking about the fourth district congressman, who he called a nut job.

Massie is up for reelection in the May Republican primary.

Thomas Massie is a disaster for our party.

He comes from a state that I won by a landslide, got the highest vote in the history of of your Commonwealth.

Trump has endorsed Massey's primary challenger, Ed Garin, a former Navy Seal and farmer.

The president called him an American hero.

Just give me somebody with a warm body to beat Massie.

And I got somebody with a warm body but a big, beautiful brain and a great patriot.

He's unbelievable.

Garin then joined Trump on the stage, pledging his support to the president.

You deserve an authentic, true Republican conservative that stand shoulder to shoulder with our president and the Republican Party and against the Democrats are trying to destroy our nation.

The president was also certain to address the attacks on what he called the terrorist regime in Iran.

Late last month, the U.S.

military began bombing Iran as part of Operation Ethnic Fury.

Over the past 11 days, our military has virtually destroyed Iran.

Its tough country.

Their air force is gone.

Totally gone.

That took that took the better part of about three hours.

They no longer have radar.

They don't have anti-aircraft equipment.

But oil prices are already coming back down.

And it's going to come down.

But we're not leaving until that job is finished and is going to be very fast.

Toward the end of his speech, Trump made mention of all three Republican candidates in the race for the U.S.

Senate, starting with the sixth district Congressman Andy Barr.

With us today are some of the amazing warriors who, unlike Massie, stood up for the working people, including a wonderful man who's been with me all the way.

Congressman Andy Barr.

The former Kentucky Attorney General, Daniel Cameron.

Daniel, and chairman and CEO of Morris Industries, good man Nate Morris.

The president did not endorse a specific candidate.

All three of whom have been vying for Trump's support.

For Kentucky Edition, I'm in the latest.

Thank you so much, Emily.

The president also touted his Save America Act.

The legislation would require proof of citizenship and ID for voters.

It also looks to ban gender reassignment surgery for minors, as well as banning biological men from playing and women's sports.

Coleman Eldridge, chair of the Kentucky Democratic Party, commented on President Trump's visit to Kentucky and this message.

He said, quote, President Trump can't sell his failing economy to Kentuckians struggling to buy groceries and gas.

All of Kentucky's toughest economic challenges of the past year are directly tied to his policies.

His one big beautiful bill is actively closing rural health care facilities.

The only prescription for lowering costs for the American people is to hold Trump accountable by electing more Democrats.

And quote from Coleman Elrich.

While President Trump did mention the war in Iran, Governor Andy Beshear criticized him for not using his Northern Kentucky appearance to explain the reasons for the war.

Here's the governor today.

And what concerned me is he talked a lot about politics when he currently is waging a war with Iran.

He had a chance just like he did in the state of the Union, to justify the war, to tell the American people the why and the how.

And he spent very little time on it.

I think if you were going to take the United States to war, number one, you've got to have a strong justification that you share and sell to the American people, not a justification that's changed 4 or 5 times in ten days.

Second, you've got to have an imminent threat.

Why?

You're going to move from diplomacy to force and not start with with, with force.

Then you've got to have just a clear vision of what winning looks like.

I have real concerns when we have to have unconditional surrender.

And then I hear the president say, but we may have killed anyone who could actually do that.

And the last thing is, you need planning so that you can get, Americans out of the area before instead of leaving them, to now scramble.
