0:27Trump endorses Texas Republicans and urges voters to support Paxton against Talarico.
4:45He predicts that gasoline and diesel prices will fall sharply.
15:38Trump tells automakers that building cars in the United States avoids tariffs.
49:05He discusses prescription drug costs and removing federal taxes on tips, overtime and Social Security.
54:55Trump pledges a $5,000 dividend if Republicans take Congress, conditioned on spending the money domestically.

Donald Trump ties a proposed $5,000 dividend to Republicans taking Congress, with a condition that the money be spent in the United States. The pledge arrives late in his Corpus Christi rally speech, after an extended pitch about energy, tariffs and the cost of living.

"You're going to get $5,000 if we win," Trump tells the crowd. It is a campaign promise, not an announced payment already available to Americans.

The appearance is aimed at helping Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's Senate campaign against Democratic nominee James Talarico. Trump repeatedly attacks Talarico's positions on fossil fuels, guns and social issues while urging Republican turnout. Early voting in Texas runs through October 30.

Speaking at the Port of Corpus Christi, Trump makes oil and gas central to his argument. He predicts falling gasoline and diesel prices and credits his tariff policies with bringing investment and factories to the country. His message to automakers is direct: "Build your cars in the United States, there's no tariff."

FOX 26 Houston's full recording drew about 16,000 views in its first six hours, already well beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for regular videos. The station also posted Trump's separate Lubbock rally, the second stop in his Tuesday Texas campaign swing.
