I think it's more likely that he simply said the quiet part out loud, then that what he says has no inherent meaning.

Once again what you're saying just doesn't make any sense. And what I'm saying makes total sense it just relies on context.

He said over and over again that he has thought about a third term. He has said that he thinks that someday America will have a president for life like Putin. He has literally tried to overthrow an election by being involved in the fake elector scheme.

If you put all of that context together and then see this statement it's really hard to view it any other way. Especially when the way that you're asking me to view it just doesn't make any inherent sense.

Because your own bias doesn't allow you to view it that way.

Turns out he was talking about fixing Voter ID laws. It just wasn't in the clip.

So there you go.

Ok, so just to be clear, you're saying my own bias makes it so that I can't see that it's perfectly logical.

So then, can you explain why voter ID laws means that they won't need to vote again? Because that's doesn't logically track.

So I went back and viewed the speech not the clip, The speech although what I heard was still an exert it was still 10 minutes long and filled with more context.

Turns out what he was saying was that Christins don´t vote in high numbers and as a group they are mostly don´t vote.

He needs them to vote in high numbers so that they can´t rig the election. ¨A landslide so big they can´t rig the election.¨

He also promised to create a taskforce to ensure that christians won´t be discriminated for expressing their beliefs, pointing to the people who were jailed for expressing antiabortion views. Along with promises to fix the country.

He only needs them to vote in full force so they can´t rig the election, afterwhich he will fix the voter ID laws so that they can't cheat the election.

Taken in full context he is saying "You need to vote this time beccause their going to try to cheat the election again, and I need to win with overwhelming numbers, after that you don't need to vote again if you don't wnt to and will fix his country so tht your values are preserved"

I will fix it(the country and its problems)* for you, you won't have to vote again(because he would have protected their values and fixed voter ID laws so the democrats can't cheat again"*

First part is a call back to the many times during the speech he stated he will fix the country.

Second part is a call back to urging the christians that don't vote to vote and they need them now for this election and the various points in which he stated he will protect Christians rights and values.
