'Do It Fast!': Donald Trump Tells CEO to 'Hurry' Up With His Speech Because They 'Don't Want to Hear From You' 

During a rally at Verst Logistics in Hebron, Kentucky, on Wednesday, March 11, President Donald Trump told the company's CEO, Paul Verst, to rush through his speech because no one was interested in hearing from him.

While calling the CEO to the podium, Trump told him to hurry up and speak quickly.

“And some of the jobs we’re creating and protecting are right here at Verst Logistics. So, let me call up your outstanding CEO, Paul, come on up, real fast, Paul. Come on. Paul Verst. Come on up here, Paul. Let’s go. Do it fast, Paul! They don’t wanna hear from you,” the POTUS quipped.

Despite the request to be brief, Verst spoke for approximately three minutes, thanking Trump for his economic policies and concluding with a prayer for the president's health and safety.

“Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to share our experiences, how your economic policies and the One Big Beautiful Bill have positively impacted our employees, company, and family,” Verst said.

The CEO then concluded with a prayer.

“I’m going to say a quick little prayer for President Trump if I could,” he said. “May God bless and keep you healthy and safe, and may God bless our beloved United States of America, and everything it stands for. Thank you, President Trump.”

The event was held at the family-owned warehousing and transportation facility to promote the administration's economic record and the "One Big, Beautiful Act," a tax-and-spending bill signed in July 2025.

The speech was briefly paused when a rally-goer fainted behind the president. First responders and CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz provided aid while Trump waited for the person to receive medical attention.

The president, known for long-winded, meandering speeches, spoke for approximately an hour and ten minutes about the economy, recent military actions in Iran, and criticism of Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie, a vocal critic of his who has worked with the Democrats diligently to release the files of dead financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump spent much of the rally railing at Massie, calling him a "disaster," "nutjob," and "the worst person,” before endorsing Massie’s primary challenger, Ed Gallrein, who also addressed the crowd.

Massie fired back, claiming the campaign had to pay to bus people in to ensure attendance.

“They’re paying to bus people to the Trump event in my Congressional District,” Massie wrote X. “What they’ll discover is Trump fans in KY-4 and across the entire Commonwealth also support my work on the Epstein files, reigning in spending, ending forever wars, draining the swamp, and food freedom!”
