>>> THIS IS NIGHT THREE OF THE 
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION.
CONGRESS THAN DAN CRENSHAW.
>> BUT HE DIDN'T.
DAVE WAS KILLED TWO MONTHS 
LATER.
HE DIED A HERO TO THIS GREAT 
COUNTRY.
HERE'S THE TRUTH ABOUT AMERICA.
WE ARE A COUNTRY OF HEROES.
I BELIEVE THAT.
SO SHOULD YOU.
WE HAVE A COMMON SET OF IDEALS, 
PEOPLE THAT HAVE SACRIFICED TIME
AND AGAIN FOR OUR FREEDOM AND 
THE FREEDOM OF OTHERS.
THAT'S SOMETHING NO OTHER 
COUNTRY EVER ANYWHERE CAN CLAIM.
SINCE 9/11, I HAVE SEEN 
AMERICA'S HEROES UP CLOSE, SOME 
OF THEM SAVED MY LIFE, SOME OF 
THEM SAVED MANY OTHERS LIVES, 
MANY OF THEM NEVER MADE IT HOME.
THESE HEROES ACTED AS IF THE 
WHOLE STRUGGLE DEPENDED ON THEM 
ALONE, AS IF ANY WEAKNESS OF 
THEM WOULD BE A REFLECTION OF 
THE WHOLE NATION.
THAT'S CALLED DUTY.
AMERICA HAS A LONG HISTORY OF 
IT.
OUR ENEMIES FEAR US BECAUSE 
AMERICANS FIGHT FOR GOOD AND WE 
KNOW IT.
IT GIVES US STRENGTH.
WHEN OUR HEROES ARE TRUSTED AND 
EQUIPPED, THEN FREEDOM PREVAILS.
THE DEFEAT OF ISIS WAS THE 
RESULT OF AMERICA BELIEVING IN 
OUR HEROES.
OUR PRESIDENT HAVING THEIR BACKS
AND REBUILDING OUR MILITARY SO 
WE WOULD HAVE WHAT WE NEEDED NEH
THE MISSION.
AMERICA'S HEROISM IS NOT 
RELEGATED TO THE BATTLEFIELD.
EVERY SINGLE DAY WE SEE THEM IF 
WE JUST KNOW WHERE TO LOOK.
IT IS THE NURSE THAT VOLUNTEERS 
FOR BACK-TO-BACK SHIFTS CARING 
FOR COVID-19 PATIENTS BECAUSE 
SHE FEELS THAT'S HER DUTY.
PARENTS RELEARNING ALGEBRA, 
THERE IS NO WAY THEY'RE LETTING 
THEIR KIDS BEHIND WHEN SCHOOLS 
ARE CLOSED.
AMERICA IS THE COUNTRY WHERE THE
YOUNG MILITARY WIFE OF TWO YOUNG
CHILDREN ANSWER THE UNEXPECTED 
KNOCK AT THE DOOR AND LOOKS AT 
THE MAN IN THE UNIFORM AND TAKES
CARE OF HER FAMILY BECAUSE SHE 
MUST.
THIS IS WHAT HEROISM LOOKS LIKE.
IT IS WHO WE ARE.
NATION OF HEROES.
WE NEED YOU NOW MORE THAN EVER.
WE NEED TO REMIND OURSELVES 
HEROISM WHAT IT REALLY IS.
HEROISM IS GREAT, NOT PERPETUAL 
OUTRAGE.
HEROISM IS REBUILDING OUR 
COMMUNITY AND NOT DESTROYING 
THEM.
HEROISM IS RENEWING OR FAITH AND
THE SYMBOLS THAT UNITE US, NOT 
TEARING IT DOWN.
AMERICAN SPIRIT REFLECTS THE 
OLDEST AND MOST IMPORTANT 
VIRTUES, COURAGE, TOLERANCE AND 
LOVE OF COUNTRY AND PASSION FOR 
HUMANS ACHIEVEMENT.
WE CAN DECIDE RIGHT NOW THAT 
AMERICAN GREATNESS WILL NOT BE 
REJECTED.
IF WE ARE TO REDISCOVER OUR 
STRENGTHS, IT MUST BE ENDEAVORED
AND UNDER TAKEN BY EACH AND 
EVERYONE OF US.
WE MUST BECOME HEROES THAT WE SO
ADMIRED AND AMERICANS WAS BUILT 
BY THEM.
OUR FUTURES ARE PROTECTED BY 
THEM.
IT WILL BE PROTECTED BY YOU.
GOD BLESS AMERICA.
>>> GOOD EVENING, I AM RETIRED 
LIEUTENANT GENERAL KEITH 
KELLOGG.
I HAVE GONE WHERE MY NATION 
ASKED.
I HAVE ONE WITHIN TO SOLDIERS 
LAST MOMENT ON EARTH.
THEIR LIVES HAVE BEEN IN HOPES 
AND PROMISE FOR A BETTER FUTURE 
FOR ALL AMERICANS.
I WAS IN THE PENTAGON ON 
SEPTEMBER 11th, 2001, I LOST 
FRIENDS THERE THAT DAY.
IN THE YEARS THAT FOLLOWED, I 
WATCH MY DAUGHTER, SON, AND 
SON-IN-LAW DEPLOYED TO 
AFGHANISTAN.
I HAVE LOOKED IN THE EYES OF MY 
CHILDREN AS THEY SAID GOOD-BYE 
TO THEIR FATHERS AND I HUGGED 
THEM ONE LAST TIME.
I LIVE TO SERVE.
I UNDERSTAND SACRIFICES.
I KNOW LEADERSHIP.
OVER THE PAST THREE AND A HALF 
YEARS, I WITNESSED EVERY MAJOR 
FOREIGN POLICIES AND NATIONAL 
SECURITY BY THIS PRESIDENT.
I HAD BEEN IN THE ROOM WHERE IT 
HAPPENED.
I SAW ONLY ONE AGENDA AND ONE 
GUIDING QUESTION WHEN TOUGH 
CALLS HAD TO BE MADE.
IS THIS DECISION RIGHT FOR 
AMERICA.
WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP TOOK 
OFFICE, DECADES OF FAILED 
FOREIGN POLICIES CRIPPLED US.
CREATION OF FAILED STATES BY 
LIBYA AND SYRIA.
LEADERSHIP IN WASHINGTON THAT 
ALLOWED OUR MILITARY TO ATROPHY 
WHILE WE SPEND TRILLIONS ABROAD 
INSTEAD OF INVESTING IT AT HOME.
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS RESTRUCTURED
OUR NATIONAL SECURITY STRATEGY 
WITH HISTORIC INVESTMENT AND 
VISION.
OUR MILITARY IS BETTER EQUIPPED 
AND A BETTER MAN THAN ANY 
MILITARY IN THE WORLD.
HE ELIMINATED ONE OF THE BIGGEST
LEADERS, AL BAGHDADI.
OUR NATO ALLIES FAILED TO MEET 
THEIR COMMITMENT, PRESIDENT 
TRUMP DEMANDED PARODY.
PRESIDENT TRUMP CHALLENGEDDS AN 
CONTINUES TO CHALLENGE.
HE RISE WHEN REQUIRED AND HE 
BELIEVES IN SEEKING PEACE.
JUST OVER WEEKS AGO, OUR 
PRESIDENT BROKE A PIECE 
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNITED 
EMIRATES AND ISRAEL.
THE FIRST IN THE MIDDLE EAST 
OVER 25 YEARS AND THIS WEEK 
AFGHAN NEGOTIATORS WITH HELP 
FROM OFFICIALS WILL START PEACE 
NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN THE TALIBAN
AND THE AFGHAN GOVERNMENT TO END
AMERICA'S LONGEST WAR.
ASK YOURSELF, HAS THIS PRESIDENT
KEPT HIS PROMISES TO KEEP US OUT
OF NATO CONFLICTS AND PURSUE 
D
ENDING WARS.
HAS HE FULFILLED HIS COMMANDER 
IN CHIEF ROLE BY GOING AFTER OUR
NATION'S ENEMIES?
YOU AND I KNOW THE ANSWER IS 
YES.
THE CHOICE IS CLEAR.
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT 
ELECTION OF OUR LIFETIME.
THE NEXT FOUR YEARS WILL BE 
DECIDED FOR THE COURSE OF OUR 
COUNTRY FOR DECADES TO COME.
I AM ASKING YOU TO STAND UP TO 
BE COUNTED SO WE NEVER HAVE TO 
LOOK BACK AND RECALL WHAT IT WAS
ONCE LIKE AMERICA WHEN MEN AND 
WOMEN ARE FREE.
OUR FAMILIES ARE SECURE AND WE 
HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO SERVE THE 
PEOPLE.
GOD BLESS AMERICA.
THANK YOU AND GOOD NIGHT.
>> THAT'S KEITH KELLOGG ON THE 
THIRD NIGHT OF THE NATIONAL 
CONVENTION.
IT MAY SOUNDED LIKE GENERAL 
KELLOGG WAS ANNOUNCING A BIG 
PIECE OF NEWS.
IT SOUNDED LIKE HE WAS 
ANNOUNCING THE ENDS OF THE WAR 
IN AFGHANISTAN.
HE SAID PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS NO 
HAWK, HE WISELY WHEELS THE SWORD
WHEN REQUIRED AND SEEKING PEACE 
IN STET OF PERPETUAL COMPLEX.
GENERAL KELLOGG GAVE THE 
IMPRESSION MEANS THAT THE 
AMERICAN WAR IN AFGHANISTAN IS 
GOING TO START TO END THIS WEEK.
A LITTLE MORE CONTEXT ON THAT, 
WE WANT TO BRING IN OUR NATIONAL
SECURITY ADVISOR BEN ROADS.
GENERAL KELLOGG SEEMS TO IMPLY 
THAT THIS MEANS THE WAR IS ABOUT
TO BE OVER.
>> WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL HERE.
AND IT IS WORTH FACT-CHECKING 
SOMETHING HE SAID.
PRESIDENT TRUMP INCREASED THE 
NUMBER OF TROOPS IN AFGHANISTAN 
BY SEVERAL THOUSAND TROOPS FROM 
WHEN BARACK OBAMA LEFT OFFICE IN
A SURGE THAT WAS TWOMT.
GENERAL KELLOGG WAS WORKING AT 
THE NFC.
THE NUMBER OF TROOPS IN 
AFGHANISTAN DESPITE ALL THE 
DIFFERENT TIMES THEY TOLD US THE
ING WAR IN AFGHANISTAN OF WHAT 
THEY WERE WHEN BARACK OBAMA TOOK
OFF, THERE WERE MORE THAN 10,000
ADDITIONAL AMERICAN TROOPS AND 
THE MIDDLE EAST, MANY OF THEM 
SENT THERE BECAUSE OF THE 
INCREASE TENSIONS WITH IRAN.
WE ALREADY HAD THIS PEACE DEAL 
WITH THE TALIBAN BETWEEN THE 
UNITED STATES AND THE TALIBAN.
THE PROBLEM, RACHEL, AT THE TIME
THERE HAS BEEN AN INCREASE 
ATTACK FROM THE TALIBAN ON THE 
AFGHAN NATIONAL.
WHAT IS HAPPENING IN AFGHAN 
RIGHT NOW HARDLY FEELS LIKE 
PEACE AND THERE CONTINUES TO BE 
AMERICAN TROOPS THERE.
WHILE YES WE ALL SUPPORT AN END 
TO THIS WAR, WE HAVE TO BE 
CAREFUL OF THIS PRESIDENT AND 
HIS SURROGATE BECAUSE THEY HAVE 
SAID MANY TIMES IN THE PAST AND 
NOT MUCH HAVE CHANGED.
>> BEN RHODES.
THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US ON 
SHORT NOTICE AS WE TRY TO KEEP 
THIS BROADCAST AS HONEST AS WE 
CAN TONIGHT.
IT IS GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE.
NICOLE, BEFORE WE JUMP BACK AT 
THIS NOTING THAT, AND GOD WE 
HOPE THERE ARE SUCCESSFUL PEACE 
NEGOTIATIONS.
PEACE NEGOTIATIONS DOES NOT MEAN
U.S. TROOPS COME HOME 
AUTOMATICALLY.
>> IN IRAQ, PRESIDENT OBAMA ONCE
YOU CREATE AN AGREEMENT WITH A 
COUNTRY TAKES YEARS TO TROOPS TO
COME HOME.
>> IT USUALLY DOES.
>> THIS IS SOMETHING THEY HAVE 
TRIED AT DIFFERENT POINT.
THIS WAS WHEN JOHN BOLTON WAS 
THE NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR 
LEFT OVER WANTED THE TALIBAN AT 
CAMP DAVIS TO ENGAGE IN THESE 
KINDS OF TALKS.
>> AND PROMISING.
TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
THIS IS A HIGHLIGHT ON THE ISSUE
OF WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE.
>> IT STARTED AT A TEA PARTY, 13
YEARS BEFORE THE AMERICAN CIVIL 
WAR, CIVIL UNREST AND DIVISIONS 
SEPARATED TWO CAMPS.
ONE IS TO KEEP AFRICAN-AMERICAN 
ENSLAVED AND THE OTHERS TO 
DETERMINE TO HAVE THEM FREE.
WHEN THEY WERE SELECTED AS 
DELEGATE FOR AN ANTI-SLAVERY 
CONVENTION.
ON JULY 9th, 1848, STANTON AND 
THREE OTHER WOMEN MET FOR TEA.
BY THE END OF THE DAY, THEY 
FORMED A COALITION FOR WOMEN TO 
VOTE.
WOMEN ACROSS AMERICA UNITED, 
WORKING TIRELESSLY TO WIN THE 
VOTE.
SUSAN B. ANTHONY BECAME ONE OF 
THE LEADERS OF WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE 
IN 1872, SHE REGISTERED AND 
VOTED FOR EVERY REPUBLICAN ON 
THE BALLOT.
AS PUNISHMENT, SHE WAS ARRESTED 
FOR ILLEGAL VOTING.
AT THE REQUEST OF SUSAN ANTHONY,
THE 19th AMENDMENT WAS 
INTRODUCED.
WOMEN CONTINUE TO FIGHT.
MANY DEFIDES SEGREGATION AND 
FIGHTING FOR WOMEN TO VOTE.
THE TWO YEARS -- WHEN 
REPUBLICANS REGAIN CONTROL OF 
CONGRESS ON AUGUST 26th, 1920, 
THE EQUAL SUFFRAGE WAS SIGNED 
INTO LAW.
THE VICTORY WAS ACHIEVED 
PEACEFULLY THROUGH THE EFFORTS 
OF WOMEN PATRIOTS AND THE 
DEMOCRATIC PROCESS.
100 YEARS LATER, A BOLD 
DECLARATION OF RIGHTS FOR WOMEN,
PRESIDENT TRUMP GRANTED A FULL 
PARDON TO SUSAN B. ANTHONY ON 
THE 19th AMENDMENT RADIFICATION.
NOW WE THE GREAT PATRIOTS OF 
AMERICA WILL BAND TOGETHER ONCE 
AGAIN AND WITH ONE UNIFIED 
VOICE, WE'LL VOTE FOR FREEDOM.
>> I AM KAYLEIGH McENANY.
WHEN I WAS 21 YEARS OLD, I GOT A
CALL THAT CHANGED MY LIFE.
IT WAS MY DAUGHTER INFORMING ME 
THAT I HAD TESTED POSITIVE FOR 
THE GENETIC MUTATION, A MUTATION
THAT PUT MY CHANCES OF BREAST 
CANCER AT 84%.
IT WAS THE SAME MUTATION THAT MY
MOM HAD COMPELLING HER TO GET A 
PREVENTIVE DOUBLE MASTECTOMY, 
REMOVING HER BREAST TISSUE BUT 
PROTECTING HER FROM THE DISEASE 
THAT'S TAKEN FAR TOO MANY, OUR 
MOTHERS AND SISTERS AND OUR 
FRIENDS.
MY FAMILY, EIGHT WOMEN ALONE 
WERE DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST 
CANCER, SEVERAL WERE IN THEIR 
20s.
I NOW FACE THE SAME PROSPECT.
FOR NEARLY A DECADE, I AM 
GETTING MRIs AND ULTRASOUNDS AND
NECESSARY SURVEILLANCE.
DURING THESE VISITS, I CROSS 
PATHED WITH BRAVE WOMEN, THEY 
WERE A TESTAMENT TO AMERICAN 
STRENGTHS.
THEY ARE AMERICAN HEROES.
ON MAY 1st, 2018, I FOLLOWED MY 
MOTHER'S FOOTSTEPS CHOOSING TO 
GET A PREVENTIVE MASTECTOMY.
I WAS SCARED.
THE NIGHT BEFORE I FOUGHT BACK 
TEARS AS I PREPARE TO LOSE A 
PIECE OF MYSELF FOREVER.
THE NEXT DAY WITH MY MOM, DAD 
AND HUSBAND, AND JESUS CHRIST BY
MY SIDE, I UNDER WENT A 
MASTECTOMY.
A DECISION I NOW CELEBRATE.
BREAST RECONSTRUCTION AS 
ADVANCED REMARKABLY.
WHILE IT IS AN INDIVIDUAL'S 
DECISION, MY DOCTOR AND I CHOSE 
A COURSE OF SURGERY THAT LEFT ME
UNCHANGED.
MORE IMPORTANT THAN PHYSICAL 
RESULTS IS I DEVELOPED A 
STRENGTH AND CONFIDENT THAT I 
CARRY WITH ME.
DURING MY DIFFICULT TIMES, I 
EXPECTED TO HAVE THE SUPPORT OF 
MY FAMILY BUT I HAD MORE SUPPORT
THAN I KNEW.
AS I CAME OUT OF ANESTHESIA, ONE
OF THE FIRST CALLS I RECEIVED 
WAS FROM IVANKA TRUMP AND MY 
PHONE RANG AGAIN AND IT WAS 
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
I WAS BLOWN AWAY.
HERE IS THE LEADER OF THE FREE 
WORLD CARES ABOUT MY 
CIRCUMSTANCE.
AT THE TIME I ONLY MET PRESIDENT
TRUMP ON A FEW OCCASIONS BUT NOW
I KNOW HIM WELL.
THIS PRESIDENT STANDS BY 
AMERICANS WITH PREEXISTING 
CONDITIONS.
IN FACT, PRESIDENT TRUMP CALLED 
ME THIS MORNING AND I SPOKE WITH
HIM SEVERAL TIMES TODAY AND HE 
TOLD ME HOW PROUD HE WAS OF ME 
FOR SHARING THIS STORY.
THE SAME WAY PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS
SUPPORTED ME, HE SUPPORTS YOU.
I SEE IT EVERYDAY.
I HAVE HEARD HIM SAY THE HARDEST
PART OF HIS JOB IS WRITING TO 
LOVED ONES OF FALLEN SOLDIERS.
I HAVE SEEN HIM OFFERED 
HEARTFELT OUTREACH, GRIEVING 
PARENTS WHO LOST THEIR CHILDREN 
TO CRIMES IN THE STREETS.
I HAVE WATCHED THEM FIGHT FOR 
AMERICANS WHO LOST THEIR JOBS.
PRESIDENT TRUMP FIGHTS FOR THE 
AMERICAN PEOPLE BECAUSE HE CARES
ABOUT STORIES LIKE THESE.
I HAVE A NINE-MONTH-OLD 
DAUGHTER, SHE'S A BEAUTIFUL 
SWEET LITTLE GIRL AND I CHOOSE 
TO WORK FOR THIS PRESIDENT FOR 
HER.
WHEN I LOOK INTO MY BABY'S EYES,
I SEE A NEW LIFE.
A MIRACLE FOR WHICH I HAVE A 
SOLEMN RESPONSIBILITY TO 
PROTECT.
THAT MEANS PROTECTING AMERICA'S 
FUTURE, A FUTURE PRESIDENT TRUMP
WILL FIGHT FOR WHERE OUR 
NEIGHBORHOODS ARE PROTECTED AND 
LIFE IS SACRED AND GOD IS 
CHERISHED AND NOT TAKEN OUT OF 
OUR SCHOOLS AND REMOVED FROM OUR
PLEDGE AND ERASED FROM OUR 
HISTORY.
I WANT MY DAUGHTER TO GROW UP IN
PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP'S 
AMERICA.
CHOOSING TO HAVE A MASTECTOMY 
WAS THE HARDEST DECISION I EVER 
HAD TO MAKE.
SUPPORTING PRESIDENT TRUMP AND 
PROTECT MY DAUGHTER AND OUR 
CHILDREN'S FUTURE WAS THE 
EASIEST.
>>> GOOD EVENING, I AM KAREN 
PENCE, MY HUSBAND IS VICE 
PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE.
100 YEARS AGO TODAY, THE 19th 
AMENDMENT WAS ADOPTED INTO THE 
CONSTITUTION GUARANTEEING WOMEN 
THE RIGHT TO VOTE.
BECAUSE OF HEROES LIKE SUSAN B. 
ANTHONY AND SUSIE STONE, WOMEN 
LIKE TODAY WILL HAVE THEIR 
VOICES HEARD AND THEIR VOTES 
COUNT.
THE WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT 
WAS THE GATEWAY TO LET WOMEN 
ACHIEVE MONUMENTAL MILESTONES 
AND ESTABLISH ACHIEVEMENTS IN 
BOTH CIVIC AND GOVERNMENTAL 
RULES.
THIS EVENING WE LOOK AT HEROES 
IN OUR LAND.
A SECOND LADY OF THE UNITED 
STATES FOR THE PAST 3.5 YEARS.
I HAVE HAD THE HONOR OF MEETING 
MANY HEROES ACROSS THE GREAT 
COUNTRY.
THE PENCES ARE A MILITARY 
FAMILY.
OUR SON MICHAEL SERVES IN THE 
UNITED STATES MARINES AND OUR 
SON-IN-LAW, HENRY, SERVE IN THE 
U.S. NAVY.
ONE OF MY KEY INITIATIVES IS TO 
ELEVATE AND ENCOURAGE MILITARY 
SPOUSES.
THESE MEN AND WOMEN LIKE OUR 
DAUGHTER, CHARLOTTE, AND OUR 
DAUGHTER-IN-LAW, SARAH, ARE THE 
HOME FRONT HEROES.
I HAVE BEEN PRIVILEGED TO HEAR 
SO MANY STORIES OF SELFLESS 
SUPPORT, VOLUNTEER SPIRITS AND 
GREAT CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE ARMED
FORCES AND OUR COMMUNITIES.
YOU KNOW MILITARY SPOUSES MAY 
EXPERIENCE FREQUENT MOVES AND 
CHANGES AND ALL WHILE EXHIBITING
PRIDE, STRENGTH AND 
DETERMINATION AND BEING APART OF
SOMETHING BIGGER THAN 
THEMSELVES.
TO ALL MILITARY SPOUSES, THANK 
YOU.
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND VICE 
PRESIDENT PENCE HAVE BEEN 
SUPPORTING OUR UNITED STATES 
ARMED FORCES INCLUDING OUR 
MILITARY FAMILIES ON A 
SIGNIFICANT SCALE.
WHILE TRAVELING THROUGHOUT OUR 
NATION TO EDUCATE MILITARY 
SPOUSES ABOUT POLICY SOLUTIONS 
THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS 
PROMOTED INVOLVING REAL TANGIBLE
PROGRESS IN MILITARY SPOUSE 
EMPLOYMENT.
I HAVE BEEN INSPIRED TO MEET 
HEROES LIKE LISA BRADLEY AND 
CAMERON CRUZ.
THESE MILITARY SPOUSES DECIDED 
TO START THEIR OWN BUSINESS.
NAMED AFTER THE CAMPAIGN USED TO
RECRUIT WOMEN WORKERS DURING THE
WORLD WAR II.
IT MAKES BEAUTIFUL HANDBAGS AND 
DESIGNED EXCLUSIVELY BY MILITARY
SPOUSES.
MANY OF THOSE SPOUSES LIVER ALL 
OVER THE COUNTRY.
THEY PREPARE AND SEND THEIR 
SECTIONS OF THE BAGS TO THE 
COMPANY LOCATED IN NORTH 
CAROLINA WHERE THE FINAL PRODUCT
IS ASSEMBLED.
MILITARY SPOUSE HERO, JALAN 
JOHNSON, IN MONTANA IS A 
CULINARY ARTIST WHO HAVE DREAMT 
TO START HER RESTAURANT.
SHE STARTS HER RESTAURANT THE 
SASSY BISCUIT AND SHE JUST 
OPENED A SECOND RESTAURANT IN 
DOVER, NEW HAMPSHIRE.
AS THE SECOND LADY, I HAVE ALSO 
BEEN ABLE TO BRING AWARENESS TO 
A FORM OF THERAPY FOR OUR HEROIC
VETERANS SUFFERING FROM PTSD.
OUR THERAPY FACILITATED BY A 
PROFESSIONAL ART THERAPIST IS 
EFFECTIVE WITH POST-TRAUMATIC 
STRESS DISORDER.
CHRIS STOWE, A MARINE VETERAN I 
MET IN TAMPA BAY WHO DEPLOYED 
FROM IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN SAID 
NOTHING HAS HELPED HIM DEAL WITH
THE TRAUMAS WITH HIS SERVICE IN 
THE MARINES UNTIL HE AGREED TO 
MEET WITH THE THERAPIST AT THE 
MEDICAL CENTER.
HIS LIFE AND MARRIAGE WAS SAVED.
CHRIS WENT ONTO ESTABLISH A 
GLASS BLOWING WORKSHOP TO HELP 
OTHER VETS.
MANY OF OUR VETERAN HEROES 
STRUGGLE AS THEY TRANSITION BACK
INTO CIVILIAN LIFE.
SOMETIMES THE STRESS IS TOO 
DIFFICULT TO MANAGE ALONE.
A FEW WEEKS AGO, I HAD THE HONOR
TO SPEAK WITH SOME AMAZING 
AMERICANS WHO ANSWER THE VETERAN
CRISIS LINE.
ONE IN PARTICULAR IS CINDY 
MORGAN, A VETERAN HERSELF, SHE 
CAN PASS THEIR HAND TO SOMEONE 
READY TO HELP.
IN THESE DIFFICULT TIMES WE HAVE
ALL SEEN SO MANY EXAMPLES AND 
EVERYDAY AMERICANS REACHING OUT 
A HAND TO THOSE IN NEED.
THOSE WHO IN HUMILITY HAVE 
CONSIDERED OTHERS MORE IMPORTANT
THAN THEMSELVES.
WE HAVE SEEN HEALTHCARE WORKERS,
TEACHERS, FIRST RESPONDERS AND 
MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS AND LAW 
ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND 
GROCERIES AND DELIVERY WORKERS 
AND FARMERS AND SO MANY OTHERS, 
HEROES ALL.
100 YEARS AGO, WOMEN SECURE THE 
RIGHT TO VOTE.
SO LET'S VOTE, AMERICA, LET'S 
HONOR OUR HEROES AND LET'S 
REELECT PRESIDENT TRUMP AND VICE
PRESIDENT PENCE FOR FOUR MORE 
YEARS.
GOD BLESS OUR HEROES AND GOD 
BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF 
AMERICA.
F
AMERICA.
>> ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL 
THAT THEY ARE IN DOUBT BY THEIR 
CREATOR OF CERTAIN RIGHTS THAT 
AMONG THIS IS LIFE, LIBERTY AND 
THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.
>>> GOOD EVENING, I AM KELLYANNE
CONWAY.
100 YEARS AGO, COURAGEOUS 
WARRIORS HELPED WOMEN SECURE THE
RIGHT TO VOTE.
THIS HAS BEEN A CENTURY WORTH 
CELEBRATING.
IT IS A REMINDER THAT OUR 
DEMOCRACY IS YOUNG AND FRAGILE.
NOT SO FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP, FOR 
DECADES HE HAS ELEVATED WOMEN TO
SENIOR POSITIONS IN BUSINESS AND
GOVERNMENT.
HE CONFIDES THEM AND CONSULS US 
AND RESPECTS OUR OPINIONS AND 
INSIST THAT WE ARE ON EQUAL 
FOOTING OF THE MEN.
PRESIDENT TRUMP HELPED ME SHADOW
THE BARRIER IN THE ROLE OF 
POLITICS BY EMPOWERING ME TO 
MANAGE HIS CAMPAIGN.
WITH THE HELP OF MILLIONS OF 
AMERICANS, OUR TEAM DEFINE THE 
CRITICS AND THE NAY SAYERS AND 
WE WON.
WOMEN EMPOWERMENT IS NOT A 
SLOGAN.
IT COMES FROM THE EVERYDAY 
HEROES WHO NURTURES US AND 
SHAPES US AND BELIEVES IN US.
I WAS RAISED IN A HOUSEHOLD OF 
ALL WOMEN.
THEIR LIVES WERE NOT EASY BUT 
THEY NEVER COMPLAINED.
MONEY WAS TIGHT.
I LEARNED THAT IN AMERICA, 
LIMITED MEANS DOES NOT MEAN 
LIMITED DREAMS.
THE PROMISE OF AMERICA BELONGS 
TO US ALL.
THIS IS A LAND OF INVENTORS AND 
INNOVATORS AND ENTREPRENEURS AND
EDUCATORS AND PIONEERS AND 
PARENTS, EACH CONTRIBUTING TO 
THE SUCCESS AND THE FUTURE OF A 
GREAT NATION AND HER PEOPLE.
THESE THREE-DAY HEROES HAVE A 
CHAMPION IN PRESIDENT TRUMP.
THE TEACHERS WHO TOOK EXTRA TIME
TO HELP STUDENTS ADJUST OF TWO 
MONTHS OF VIRTUAL LEARNING.
THE NURSE WHO FINISHED OF 
12-HOUR OF COVID SHIFT AND THEN 
TOOK A BRIEF BREAK ONLY TO 
CHANGE HER MASK, GOWN AND GLOVES
AND TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN.
THE SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS 
STRIKING TO REOPEN AFTER THE 
BREAK DOWN.
THE SINGLE MOM WITH TWO KIDS AND
TWO JOBS AND TWO COMMUTES WHO 
TEN YEARS AFTER THAT EMPTY 
PROMISE FINALLY HAS HEALTH 
INSURANCE.
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND VICE 
PRESIDENT PENCE HAVE LIFTED 
AMERICANS, PROVIDED THEM WITH 
DIGNITY AND OPPORTUNITY AND 
RESULTS.
I HAVE SEEN FIRSTHAND MANY TIMES
THE PRESIDENT COMFORTING AND 
ENCOURAGING A CHILD WHO HAS LOST
A PARENT OR A PARENT WHO HAS 
LOST A CHILD.
A WORKER WHO LOST HIS JOB, AN 
ADOLESCENCE WHO LOST THEIR WAYS 
TO DRUGS.
DON'T LOSE HOPE HE HAS TOLD THEM
AND ASSURING THEM THEY ARE NOT 
ALONE AND THEY MATTERED.
THERE ARE ALWAYS WILL BE PEOPLE 
WHO HAVE FAR MORE THAN US.
OUR RESPONSIBILITY IS TO FOCUS 
ON THOSE WHO HAVE FAR LESS THAN 
US.
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS DONE 
PRECISELY THAT IN TAKING 
UNPRECEDENTED ACTION TO COMBAT 
THIS NATION'S DRUG CRISIS.
HE TOLD ME THIS IS SO IMPORTANT 
, SO MANY LIVES HAVE BEEN RUINED
BY ADDICTION AND NOT EVERYONE 
KNOW IT BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE TOO 
ASHAMED TO ASK FOR HELP.
PRESIDENT TRUMP STARED AT THE 
DRUG CRISIS AND HELPED SECURE 
INVESTMENTS AND SURVEILLANCE AND
EDUCATION AND PREVENTION AND 
TREATMENT AND RECOVERY.
WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO.
BUT, THE POLITICAL ENERTIA THAT 
CAUSE LIVES AND PREVENTING 
PEOPLE IN NEED OF COMING 
FORWARD.
THIS IS THE MAN I KNOW AND THE 
PRESIDENT WE NEED FOR FOUR MORE 
YEARS.
HE PICKS THE TOUGHEST FIGHTS AND
TACKLES IN THOSE COMPLEX 
PROBLEMS.
HE HAS STOOD BY ME AND HE'LL 
STAND UP FOR YOU.
IN HONOR OF THE WOMEN WHO 
EMPOWERED ME, AND FOR THE FUTURE
OF THE CHILDREN WE ALL CHERISH, 
THANK YOU.
GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS.
>> WHITE HOUSE'S ADVISOR, 
KELLYANNE CONWAY, GIVING REMARKS
THERE.
KELLYANNE CONWAY SORT OF A 
REMARKABLE FIGURE, SHE'S ABOUT 
TO LEAVE HER SENIOR ROLE AT THE 
WHITE HOUSE.
SHE'S ONE OF THE ORIGINALS.
SHE'S ONE OF THE ORIGINALS 
THAT'S BEEN THERE FROM THE 
BEGINNING.
SHE AND HER HUSBAND BOTH 
ANNOUNCING THEY'RE STEPPING BACK
FROM THE PUBLIC LIFE IN ORDER TO
TAKE CARE OF FAMILY ISSUES AND 
SPEND MORE TIME WITH HER KIDS.
>> IT WAS AN ISSUE FRONT AND 
CENTER.
THE PRESIDENT IS ACTIVE ON 
SOCIAL MEDIA AND FOLLOWED THE 
ATTACKS LAUNCHED AT HIM BY HER 
HUSBAND.
IF YOU TALK TO HER DURING THESE 
TIMES, SHE SPOKE ABOUT THE 
PRESIDENT BEING SUPPORTIVE OF 
HER BECAUSE IT BECAME SO 
PERSONAL AND SO PUBLIC THAT IT 
IS A WEIRD THING TO WATCH.
IT BECAME A NORMAL FUTURE OF 
LIFE IN THE TIME OF TRUMP.
>> SHE WAS ALSO THE CAMPAIGN 
MANAGER JUST AFTER PAUL MANAFORT
SO SHE CAME ON BOARD TO RUN THE 
CAMPAIGN AND CAME INTO THE WHITE
HOUSE AND AS YOU SAID GEORGE 
CONWAY CALLED DONALD TRUMP A 
RACIST.
>> DONALD TRUMP IS MENTALLY 
UNFIT FOR PRESIDENT.
>> IT IS INTERESTING TO HEAR 
KELLYANNE CONWAY GIVES THOSE 
REMARKS ABOUT HOW SHE FEELS 
ABOUT THE PRESIDENT AND MAKING 
CLEAR SHE'S NOT BEING PUSHED OUT
AND LEAVING ON HER OWN TERMS AND
WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE FAMILY'S 
DRAMA IS BEHIND IT.
WE'LL TAKE A QUICK BREAK AND 
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH MORE OF
THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL 
CONVENTION.
STAY WITH US.
 
CONVENTION
STAY WITH US
>>> THANKS FOR BEING WITH US AS 
WE CONTINUE OUR REPUBLICAN 
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
TODAY IS THE LARGEST DAY OF 
SPORTS ACTIVISM IN U.S. HISTORY 
AS THE NBA AND NOW THE WNBA AND 
MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL CALLED OFF
GAMES TONIGHT IN PROTEST OVER 
RACIAL JUSTICE ISSUES.
HERE IS A FORMER NOTRE DAME 
COACH SPEAKING OUT.
>> IT IS A PLEASURE FOR ME TO 
EXPLAIN WHY I BELIEVE THAT 
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS A CONSISTENT 
WINNER.
AND THAT'S A STANDING LEADER AND
DESERVES TO BE REELECTED AS OUR 
PRESIDENT.
FIRST, I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I
GREW UP IN A ONE-BEDROOM HOUSE 
IN WEST VIRGINIA.
I MAY HAVE BEEN POOR BUT THE 
LESSON MY PARENTS TAUGHT ME IS 
PRICELESS.
THEY TAUGHT ME LIFE IS ABOUT 
MAKING CHOICES, WHERE EVER WE 
ARE GOOD OR BAD, GO GET AN 
EDUCATION, GET TO WORK.
YOU CAN OVER COME ANY OBSTACLES.
IN THIS GREAT COUNTRY, ANYONE 
CAN WORK.
BUT, THERE ARE PEOPLE TODAY 
POLITICS AND PROFESSORS AND OF 
COURSE PRESIDENT TRUMP'S 
NAYSAYERS IN THE MEDIA WHO LIKES
TO BLAME PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR 
THEIR PROBLEMS.
WHAT CAN I DO FOR MY COUNTRY?
ONLY WHAT OUR COUNTRY SHOULD BE 
DOING FOR THEM.
THEY DON'T HAVE PRIDE FOR 
THEMSELVES.
THAT'S WRONG.
WHEN I WAS IN THE ARMY, I SERVED
WITH SO MANY GREAT AMERICANS, 
EMBRACING THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES
AND COUNTRY.
I AM SO PROUD OF THEIR 
SACRIFICES AND THE OPPORTUNITIES
PROVIDED FOR SO MANY MILLIONS.
AMERICA REMAINS A LAND OF 
OPPORTUNITY NO MATTER WHAT THE 
OTHER SIDE SAYS OR BELIEVES.
IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY, YOU WOULD 
SEE THESE THREE WORDS THERE.
TRUST, COMMITMENT AND LOVE.
ALL MY LIFE I HAVE MADE MY 
CHOICE BASED ON THESE THREE 
WORDS.
I USE THESE THREE RULES TO MAKE 
CHOICES OF EVERYTHING.
MY BELOVED WIFE OF 59 YEARS AND 
OF COURSE POLITICIANS EVEN 
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
I ASK MYSELF THREE THINGS, ONE, 
CAN I TRUST THEM?
WHEN A LEADER TELLS YOU 
SOMETHING, YOU GOT TO BE ABLE TO
COUNT ON IT.
HE SAYS WHAT HE MEANS AND HE 
MEANS WHAT HE SAYS AND HE'S DONE
WHAT HE SAID HE WOULD DO.
ONE IMPORTANT REASON HE HAS MY 
TRUST IS BECAUSE NOBODY HAS BEEN
A STRONG ADVOCATE FOR THE UNBORN
THAN PRESIDENT TRUMP.
THE BIDEN/HARRIS IS THE MOST 
RADICALLY CAMPAIGN IN HISTORY.
PRESIDENT TRUMP PROTECTS THOSE 
LIES.
I TRUST PRESIDENT TRUMP.
THE SECOND QUESTION I ASK IS ARE
THEY COMMITTED TO DOING THEIR 
VERY BEST?
PRESIDENT TRUMP FINDS A WAY TO 
GET SOMETHING DONE.
IF YOU WONDER SOMETHING BAD 
ENOUGH, YOU WILL FIND A WAY AND 
IF NOT YOU WILL FIND AN EXCUSE.
EXCUSES ARE A LOT EASIER TO FIND
THAN SOLUTIONS.
PRESIDENT TRUMP FINDS SOLUTIONS.
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS COMMITTED.
THE THIRD QUESTION I ASK IS DO 
THEY LOVE PEOPLE?
DO THEY CARE ABOUT OTHERS?
THIS IS VERY CLEAR.
PRESIDENT TRUMP DEMONSTRATED 
THROUGH HIS REFORM AND 
ADVOCATING FOR SCHOOL CHOICE AND
WELFARE REFORM.
HE WANTS AMERICA FROM ALL WALKS 
OF LIFE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY 
TO SUCCEED AND LIVE THE AMERICAN
DREAMS.
PRESIDENT TRUMP LOVES OUR 
COUNTRY AND OUR GREAT PEOPLE.
TRUST, COMMITMENT AND LOVE.
IN PRESIDENT TRUMP WE HAVE A 
PRESIDENT WE CAN TRUST.
HE WORKS HARD IN MAKING AMERICA 
GREATER THAN GENUINELY CARES 
ABOUT PEOPLE.
IF I APPLY THIS TEST TO JOE 
BIDEN, I CAN'T SAY YES TO ANSWER
THESE THREE QUESTIONS.
I USED TO ASK OUR ATHLETES AT 
NOTRE DAME, IF YOU DID NOT SHOW 
UP WHO WOULD MISS YOU OR WHY?
CAN YOU IMAGINE IF THIS HAPPENS 
TO US IF PRESIDENT TRUMP DID NOT
SHOW UP IN 2016 AND RUN FOR 
PRESIDENT.
I AM SO GLAD HE SHOWED UP.
I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO SHOW UP 
IN NOVEMBER FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP.
THANK YOU.
>> I AM GOING TO INTERJECT HERE.
THAT WAS THE BELOVED NOTRE DAME 
FOOTBALL COACH.
HE SAID A LOT THERE.
HE SAID HE AND OTHER POLITICIANS
ARE CATHOLICS IN NAME ONLY WHICH
IS A SERIOUS THING TO SAY ABOUT 
A PERSON IN THEIR RELATIONSHIPS 
WITH THEIR GOD AND THEIR FAITHS.
WHEN YOU SAY THAT ABOUT SOMEBODY
LIKE JOE BIDEN, JUST TO PUT A 
FINER PIECE OF UNDERSTANDING ON 
THAT POINT.
WE CALL OUR FATHER JAMES MARTIN,
YOU MAY REMEMBER HIM FROM 
DELIVERING THE BENEDICTION AT 
THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL 
CONVENTION LAST WEEK, FATHER 
MARTIN SAID AT THE SAID HE WOULD
HAVE BEEN HAPPY TO DO SO AT THE 
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION AS WELL 
HAD HE BEEN ASKED.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE 
TONIGHT.
>> MY PLEASURE.
>> IT STRUCK ALL OF US HERE TO 
HEAR VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN THERE 
TO CALL A CATHOLIC IN NAME ONLY.
I WANT TO GET YOUR REACTION 
GIVEN OF WHAT YOU KNOW OF VICE 
PRESIDENT BIDEN AND WHAT IT 
MEANS.
>> I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD SAY 
THAT ABOUT ANYBODY.
HE MAY BE A TERRIFIC FOOTBALL 
COACH BUT HE CAN'T LOOK IN THE 
THE SOUL OF JOE BIDEN.
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION 
DISAGREES WITH CHURCH TEACHING 
ALL SORTS OF THINGS.
I THINK IT IS A TERRIBLE THING 
TO SAY.
HE HAS NO CLUE WHAT'S GOING ON 
WITH JOE BIDEN.
>> CAN I ASK YOU, SIR, IF THE 
VICE PRESIDENT, HIS WILLINGNESS 
TO TALK ABOUT HIS FAITH AND "THE
WASHINGTON POST" DID AN 
INTERESTING SORT OF FOLLOW-UP 
ABOUT JOE BIDEN'S FAITH AND HOW 
IT PLAYS A ROLE IN THE CAMPAIGN 
AND AFTER WHAT THE PRESIDENT 
SAID ABOUT HIM AND JOE BIDEN 
WANT TO HURT THE BIBLE AND HE'S 
AGAINST GOD AND HOW VICE 
PRESIDENT HAS BEEN OPENED ABOUT 
IT OVER THE COURSE OF HIS PUBLIC
LIFE INCLUDING TALKING ABOUT 
THEM.
I DON'T THINK CATHOLIC VOTERS, 
IS IT SIGNIFICANT THAT VICE 
PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS BEEN OPENED 
ABOUT HIS FAITH AND IT WOULD BE 
A LANDMARK ELECTION FOR HIM IF 
HE BECAME PRESIDENT.
>> IT COULD BE FOR CATHOLIC 
VOTERS.
MOST CATHOLIC VOTERS DO NOT VOTE
ACCORDING TO WHO'S CATHOLICS.
THEY VOTE MORE FOR THE ISSUES.
THIS IDEA THAT HE NEEDS TO BE 
JUDGED BASED ON ONE PARTICULAR 
STAND HE'S TAKING IS RIDICULOUS.
WE SHOULD NOT BE GETTING INTO A 
SET OF DEVINING OR WHETHER OR 
NOT SOMEONE IS A GOOD CHRISTIAN 
OR NOT.
>> NOBODY IS GOING TO ARGUE WITH
YOU.
>> FATHER JAMES MARTIN, THANK 
YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING WITH US 
TONIGHT, IT IS AN HONOR.
>> IT IS MY PLEASURE.
>> WE ARE GOING TO TAKE A QUICK 
BREAK AND WE'LL RESUME OUR 
COVERAGE.
OH, I AM NOT TAKING A QUICK 
BREAK.
WE ARE BACK.
COMPLETELY MY FAULT.
HERE SHE COMES.
I AM CONGRESSWOMAN ELISE 
STEFANIK.
40 YEARS AGO IN LAKE PLACID OF A
TEAM OF AMATEUR HOCKEY PLAYERS 
OUT HUSTLED AND OUT STATED AND 
DEFEATED THE SOVIET UNION, 
GIVING US THE UNFORGETTABLE 
MIRACLE ON ICE.
TODAY IS HOME, THE MOST DEPLOYED
UNIT IN THE U.S. ARMY SINCE 9/11
WHERE I SAW PRESIDENT TRUMP 
GRACIOUSLY THANKED AND HONORED 
OUR MEN AND WOMEN IN UNIFORM AND
SIGNED THE LARGEST PAY RAISE FOR
OUR TROOPS IN A DECADE.
GENERATION AFTER GENERATION OF 
EVERYDAY AMERICANS SERVED AND 
SACRIFICED TO PRESERVE AND 
STRENGTHEN THE AMERICAN DREAM.
THE VISION OF LIFE, LIBERTY AND 
THE PURSUITS OF HAPPINESS AND 
THE IDEA THAT IF YOU WORK HARD 
AND DREAM BIG, YOU CAN ACHIEVE 
ANYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE.
I BELIEVE IN THE AMERICAN DREAM 
BECAUSE I LIVED IT.
LIKE MILLIONS OF AMERICANS I 
GREW UP IN A SMALL BUSINESS 
FAMILY WHERE I LEARN THE VALUES 
OF HARD WORK AND DETERMINATION.
I WAS THE FIRST PERSON IN MY 
IMMEDIATE FAMILY TO GRADUATE 
FROM COLLEGE, RAN FOR CONGRESS 
TO SERVE UPSTATE NEW YORK AND 
PROUDLY THE YOUNGEST REPUBLICAN 
WOMAN ELECTED TO CONGRESS IN HIS
HISTORY.
I AM HONORED TO SELECT PRESIDENT
TRUMP, I KNOW HE'LL STAND UP FOR
AMERICAN FAMILIES AND PROTECT 
THE AMERICAN DREAMS FOR FUTURE 
GENERATIONS.
PRESIDENT TRUMP FOUGHT 
TIRELESSLY TO DELIVER RESULTS 
FOR ALL AMERICANS DESPITE THE 
DEMOCRATS BASELESS AND ILLEGAL 
CHANTS.
I WAS PROUD TO LEAVE THE EFFORTS
STANDING UP FOR THE CONSTITUTION
AND PRESIDENT TRUMP AND MOST 
IMPORTANTLY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
THIS ATTACK WAS NOT JUST ON THE 
PRESIDENT, IT WAS AN ATTACK ON 
YOU.
YOUR VOICE AND YOUR VOTE.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WERE NOT 
SWAYED BY THESE ATTACKS.
OUR SUPPORT FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP 
IS STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE.
WE KNOW WHAT'S AT STAKE IN THIS 
HISTORIC ELECTION.
AMERICANS FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE
ARE UNIFIED IN SUPPORT OF OUR 
PRESIDENT.
IT IS WHY MORE REPUBLICAN WOMEN 
THAN EVER ARE RUNNING FOR OFFICE
THIS YEAR.
WE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS ELECTION
IS A CHOICE BETWEEN THE FAR LEFT
DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST AGENDA 
WORKED AS PROTECTING AND 
PRESERING THE AMERICAN DREAMS.
PRESIDENT TRUMP UNDERSTANDS THE 
ENGINE OF OUR COUNTRY IS FUELLED
BY THE INGENUITY, JOE BIDEN 
WANTS TO KEEP THEM LOCKED UP IN 
THE BASEMENT AND CRUSH THEM WITH
$4 TRILLION WITH NEW TAXES.
JOE BIDEN'S FAR LEFT FAILED 
POLICIES OF THE PAST 47 YEARS OR
PRESIDENT TRUMP WHO'LL STAND UP 
FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND THE 
CONSTITUTION.
I BELIEVE IN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
TO ELECT THE ONLY CANDIDATE 
WHO'S CAPABLE OF PROTECTING THE 
AMERICAN DREAM.
PRESIDENT, DONALD J. TRUMP.
THANK YOU FOR THE NORTH COUNTRY 
FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE AS 
YOUR VOICE, GOD BLESS THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA, THE GREATEST 
COUNTRY ON EARTH.
 
COUNTRY ON EARTH
>>> MADISON CAWTHORN.
THIS IS A TIME TO VOTE FOR OUR 
COUNTRY AND I KNOW SOMETHING 
ABOUT THIS COUNTRY.
AT 18-YEAR-OLD I WAS IN A CAR 
ACCIDENT.
I WAS GIVEN A 1% CHANCE OF 
SURVIVING.
THANKS TO MANY SKILLED DOCTORS, 
I MADE IT.
IT TOOK ME A YEAR TO RECOVER.
MY FIRST PUBLIC OUTING ON A 
WHEELCHAIR WAS TWO PROFESSIONAL 
FOOTBALL GAMES.
BEFORE MY ACCIDENT, I WAS 6'3".
AT 20, I THOUGHT ABOUT GIVING 
UP.
I KNEW I CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
MY ACCIDENT HAS GIVEN ME NEW 
EYES TO SEE AND NEW EARS TO 
HEAR.
GOD PROTECT MY MIND AND THE ABLE
TO SPEAK.
I SEE YOU AND I HEAR YOU.
AT 20 I MADE A CHOICE AND 2020 
OUR COUNTRY HAS A CHOICE.
WE CAN'T GIVE UP ON OUR IDEA.
WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER.
I CHOOSE TO FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE
AND SEE THE HIGH GROUNDS AND 
RETAKING THE CITY.
REPUBLICANS WANT TO REBUILD AND 
RESTORE AND RENEW.
I JUST TURNED 25.
WHEN I AM ELECTED THIS NOVEMBER,
I WILL BE THE YOUNGEST MAYOR IN 
CONGRESS IN OVER 200 YEARS.
IF YOU DON'T THINK YOUNG PEOPLE 
CAN CHANGE THE WORLD, THEN YOU 
DON'T KNOW AMERICA'S HISTORY.
ABE LINCOLN, 22 WHEN HE RAN FOR 
OFFICE.
JAMES MADISON WAS 25 YEARS OLDS 
WHEN HE SIGNED THE DECLARATION 
OF INDEPENDENCE.
YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE STEPPED UP TO 
SAVE THIS COUNTRY ABROAD AND AT 
HOME.
HE CROSSED OCEANS AND CRACKED 
CODES.
A TIME OF INFORMATION WITHOUT 
WISDOM AND TRIABLISM WITHOUT 
TRUTH.
NATIONAL LEADERS ON THE LEFT 
HAVE RADICALIZE IDENTITY 
POLITICS THAT REJECTS MARTIN 
LUTHER KING'S DREAMS.
ALL AMERICANS TO BE JUDGED 
SOLELY ON THEIR CHARACTER.
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE RISK THEIR 
LIVES TO COME HERE BECAUSE THEY 
BELIEVE IN THE DREAM OF MLK AND 
THE AMERICAN DREAM.
JOIN US AS WE DOUBLE DOWN ON 
AMERICAN DREAMS FOR ALL PEOPLE.
WE ARE COMMITTED TO BUILDING A 
NEW TOWN SQUARE AND WELCOMING 
ALL IDEAS AND PEOPLE.
HERE WE'LL HAVE FREEDOM OF 
SPEECH AND NOT FREEDOM FROM 
SPEECH.
TO LIBERALS, LET'S HAVE A 
CONVERSATION, LISTEN TO OTHER 
IDEAS AND LET THE BEST ONE 
PREVAILS.
LET'S DEFINE WHAT WE SUPPORT AND
WIN THE ARGUMENT AND AREAS LIKE 
HEALTHCARE ON THE ENVIRONMENT 
AND THIS NEW TOWN SQUARE YOU 
DON'T HAVE TO APOLOGIZE FOR YOUR
BELIEVES OR COWARD TO A MOB.
YOU CAN KNEEL BEFORE GOD BUT 
STAND FOR OUR FLAG.
THE AMERICAN IDEA, MY ANCESTORS 
FOUGHT FOR DURING THE 
REVOLUTIONARY WAR IS JUST AS 
EXCITING AS IT IS TODAY.
I SAY TO AMERICANS WHO LOVE OUR 
COUNTRY, YOUNG AND OLD, BE A 
RADICAL FOR FREEDOM.
BE E RADICAL FOR ALL REPUBLIC 
FOR WHICH I STAND.
THANK YOU, MAY GOD BLESS 
AMERICA.
S
AMERICA.
>>> I AM A FORMER THREE TIMES 
NFL CAPTAIN, JACK BREWER, COACH,
HUSBAND AND SON AND FATHER.
I AM ALSO A LIFELONG DEMOCRAT 
BUT I SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP.
LET ME BE CLEAR, I DID NOT COME 
HERE FOR THE POPULARITY OR THE 
PRAISE OR THE LIKES OR THE 
RETWEETS.
I AM HERE TO SERVE GOD, A SER 
VANTS TO THE PEOPLE OF OUR 
NATION.
I GREW UP IN TEXAS, A TOWN WHERE
MY GRANDFATHER WAS THE FIRST 
BLACK MAN.
MY EARLY HIGH SCHOOL EXPERIENCE 
INCLUDING FIGHTING WITH SKIN 
HEADS AND BEING A WITNESS.
I REMEMBER MY DAD'S BRAVERY WHEN
HE STOOD UP.
I KNOW WHAT RACISM LOOKS LIKE.
I HAVE SEEN IT FIRSTHAND.
AMERICA HAS NO RESEMBLANCE TO 
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
I AM FED UP WITH THE WAY HE'S 
PORTRAYED IN THE MEDIA WHO 
REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT HE'S 
DONE FOR THE BLACK COMMUNITY.
IT IS CONFUSING THE MINDS OF OUR
CHILDREN.
MY SON STOPPED ME AND SAID DAD, 
CAN YOU TELL EVERYONE THAT ALL 
LIVES NEED TO MATTER AND THAT 
GOD LOVES EVERYONE.
IN THAT MOMENT, I REALIZED THAT 
MY EIGHT-YEAR-OLD HAVE 
UNDERSTOOD WHAT SO MANY ADULTS 
HAVE SEEM TO FORGET.
WE ARE NOT AS DIVIDED.
FOR THE SAKE OF OUR CHILDREN, 
THE POLICY MUST TAKE PRIORITIES.
WE ARE GOING TO IGNORE THAT JOE 
BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS HAVE 
COLLECTIVELY BEAR RESPONSIBLE 
FOR BLOCKING UP CATHOLICS FOR 
NON-VIOLENT CRIMES.
ARE YOU GOING TO ALLOW THE MEDIA
LYING TO YOU BY FALSELY CLAIMING
THERE ARE WHITE SUPREMACY IN 
CHARLOTTESVILLE.
IGNORE THE BLACK LIVES MATTER 
ORGANIZATION THAT OPENLY ON 
THEIR WEBSITE CAUSING THE 
DESTRUCTION OF THE NUCLEAR 
FAMILY.
MY FELLOW AMERICANS, OUR FAMILY 
NEEDS EACH OTHER.
WE NEED BLACK FATHERS IN THE 
HOME WITH THEIR WIVES AND 
CHILDREN.
THE FUTURE OF OUR COMMUNITY 
DEPEND ON IT.
I AM BLESSED TO BE ABLE TO RUN 
IN THE PROGRAM AND TEACH IN 
PRISON ACROSS AMERICA.
THE INMATES OF MY FEDERAL PRISON
PROGRAM LITERALLY RECEIVING DAYS
OFF THEIR SENTENCE JUST BY 
ATTENDING MY CLASS AND THAT'S 
ALL THANKS TO PRESIDENT TRUMP.
PRESIDENT TRUMP CARES ABOUT 
THESE AMERICANS THE THEIR 
FAMILIES EVEN WHEN SO MANY 
OTHERS LEFT THEM BEHIND AND 
WRITTEN THEM OFF.
I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL FOR 
PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR THAT.
HE ENDURES RELENTLESS ATTACKS.
WHEN THE LORD STOPS BLESSING, 
THE DEVIL STARTS MESSING.
IT IS THE PARTY OF FREDERICK 
DOUGLAS AND ABRAHAM LINCOLN AND 
NOW TIM SCOTT AND DONALD TRUMP.
OUR PRESIDENT HAS MADE AN 
INCREDIBLE STRIVE TO END MASS 
INCARCERATION.
AMERICA, LET THE ELECTION BE A 
CALL FOR ALL WHO ARE CALLED BY 
HIS NAME TO HUMBLE OURSELVES AND
PRAY TOGETHER AND SEE KIDS' FACE
AND TURN FROM OUR WAYS AND THEN 
YOU WILL HEAR US FROM HEAVEN AND
HE'LL FORGIVE OUR SINS AND HE'LL
HEAL OUR LAND.
AMEN AND GOD BLESS AMERICA.
>> WE'LL TAKE A QUICK BREAK AND 
I WANT TO DO A FACT-CHECK.
THAT PERSON YOU JUST HEARD WAS 
FORMER NFL PLAYER NAMED JACK 
BREWER WHO PLAYED FOR A NUMBER 
OF TEAMS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
HE'S IN AN ORGANIZATION CALLED 
BLACK VOICES FOR TRUMP.
HE MADE A STATEMENT ARE YOU 
GOING TO ALLOW THE MEDIA LIE TO 
YOU THAT THERE ARE WHITE 
SUPREMACISTS IN CHARLOTTESVILLE,
HE DID NOT SAY THAT, IT IS A 
LIE.
THE FRAMING OF IT MAKES IT 
TRUE-ISH.
>> HE DID NOT USE THAT PHRASE.
>> OH, THESE ARE FINE WHITE 
SUPREMACISTS.
HE CERTAINLY DID NOT SAY THAT 
BUT IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMIND 
OURSELVES WHAT HE ACTUALLY DID 
SAY FOLLOWING THE 
CHARLOTTESVILLE RIOT WHICH WERE 
WHITES BY SUPREMACISTS ON ONE 
SIDE.
HEATHER HEYER WHO WAS KILLED 
BIDE A CAR HIT AND RAN BY A CAR 
AND KILLED AND SHE WAS MARCHING 
WITH BLACK LIVES MATTER.
THAT'S THE FRAMING.
LET'S JUST PLAY WHAT DONALD 
TRUMP ACTUALLY SAID, HERE IT IS.
>> YOU HAD SOME VERY BAD PEOPLE 
IN THAT GROUP.
YOU ALSO HAD PEOPLE THAT WERE 
FINE PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES.
>> SO HE SAID THEY'RE BOTH FINE 
PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES.
>> THE PEOPLE WHO WERE 
PROTESTING AGAINST WERE -- 
>> JUST TO BE FAIR, DONALD TRUMP
DID NOT LITERALLY SAY WELL, THEY
WERE FINE WHITE SUPREMACISTS IN 
CHARLOTTESVILLE.
HE SAID THE PEOPLE WHO WERE 
MARCHING ON THE WHITE 
SUPREMACIST SIDE WHO WERE 
NEO-NAZI AND AMONG THEM WERE 
SOME FINE PEOPLE.
>> THE WAY WE KNOW JACK BREWER 
IS NOT CORRECT IS WHERE HE SAYS 
BECAUSE WE STILL HEAR STORIES OF
PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO LEAVE AT 
THE MOMENT.
GARY COHN WAS THE ONE WHO SAID I
ALMOST LEFT.
>> DONALD TRUMP ENCOURAGES WHITE
NATIONALISTS AND THAT'S WHY SHE 
HAD TO LEAVE BUT DID SHE BELIEVE
WHITE SUPREMACISTS INSIDE.
>> SO JUST TO BE CLEAR.
>> A LITTLE BIT OF CONTROVERSY 
ABOUT MR. BREWER GIVEN THOSE 
REMARKS.
IT WAS UP IN THE AIR UNTIL LAST 
MINUTE WHETHER OR NOT THEY'LL 
ALLOW BREWER TO GIVE THESE 
REMARKS.
HE WAS CHARGED INSIDE A TRADING.
THOSE FEDERAL CHARGES MADE IT 
AWKWARD IN ADDITION TO THE FACT 
THAT WE NEED TO JUMP INTO THE 
RNC AND FACT-CHECK.
THERE IT WAS.
>> WE ARE EXPECTING LARA TRUMP 
WHO'S MARRIED TO ONE OF TRUMP'S 
SON IS ON DECK.
LET'S GET BACK TO THE 
CONVENTION.
>> TONIGHT AS WE CELEBRATE 
AMERICA AS A LAND OF HEROES.
I AM HERE AT WESTERN NEW YORK.
I HAVE SEEN AMAZING AMERICANS IN
ACTION, RAISED IN LAW 
ENFORCEMENTDEPLOYED TO IRAQ AND 
SERVING TODAY IN THE ARMY 
RESERVE.
MY GENERATION OF POST-911 SET 
RANS HAS HUGE SHOES TO FILL.
FOLLOWING OUR GREATEST 
GENERATION THAT FOUGHT TYRANNY 
AND SAVED THE WORLD.
ALL OVER OUR COUNTRY EVERY DAY 
HEROES SERVE AND SACRIFICE FROM 
THE GREATER GOOD.
FARMERS, TRUCKERS, CRAFTS MEN.
THESE HEROES KEEP AMERICA 
RUNNING AND PRESIDENT TRUMP 
FIGHTS FOR THEM EVERY DAY.
THIS YEAR WE HAVE ESPECIALLY 
RELIED ON ONE PARTICULAR GROUP 
OF HEROES, FRONT LINE MEDICAL 
WORKERS.
MY TWIN DAUGHTERS WERE BORN OVER
14 WEEKS EARLY.
THEY WEIGHED JUST A POUND AND A 
HALF.
AT TWO WEEKS, SHE WENT INTO 
SEPTIC SHOCK, HAD A STROKE AND 
UNDERWENT BRAIN SURGERY.
HER DOCTORS DIDN'T BELIEVE SHE 
WOULD SURVIVE.
FEARING DIRE PERMANENT 
CONSEQUENCES EVEN IF SHE DID.
THROUGH THE MIRACLES OF MODERN 
MEDICINE, THE POWER OF PRAYER 
AND HER WILL TO LIVE, MY 
DAUGHTERS ARE NOW STARTING HIGH 
SCHOOL AND DOING GREAT WITH NO 
LONG-TERM EFFECTS FROM THOSE 
FRIGHTFUL MONTHS IN THE NICU.
WHEN I LEARNED MY COUNTY'S PPE 
STOCKPILE WAS DEPLETED, I 
THOUGHT OF THOSE HEALTH CARE 
WORKERS THAT SAVED MY BABY 
GIRLS.
THE VERY NEXT DAY, PRESIDENT 
TRUMP ANNOUNCED HE WAS SENDING 
US 200,000 N95 MASKS.
HE ACTUALLY DELIVERED ALMOST 
400,000.
THAT NUMBER QUICKLY GREW TO 1.2 
MILLION MASKS, GOWNS AND MORE.
THE PRESIDENT SENT THOUSANDS OF 
VENTILATORS TO NEW YORK.
HE DEPLOYED THE "USS COMFORT" 
AND CONVERTED THE CENTER TO A 
FIELD HOSPITAL.
HIS ADMINISTRATION AUTHORIZED 
OUR LAB TESTING REQUESTS AT 
BLINDING SPEED.
DURING A ONCE IN A CENTURY 
PANDEMIC, AN UNFORESEEABLE 
CRISIS SENT TO US FROM A FAR 
AWAY LAND, THE PRESIDENT'S 
EFFORT FOR NEW YORK WAS 
PHENOMENAL.
FOR OUR NATION TO EMERGE EVEN 
STRONGER, MORE PROSPEROUS, FREER
AND MORE SECURE THAN EVER, TO 
MAKE OUR COUNTRY GREATER THAN 
EVER BEFORE, WE MUST RE-ELECT 
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
WE ARE THE LAND OF THE FREE 
BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE.
AND WE ARE THE LAND OF 
OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE WE HAVE A 
PRESIDENT WHO WANTS TO EMPOWER 
THE BEST OF WHO WE ARE TO BE THE
BEST OF WHAT WE CAN BE.
THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A NATION 
GREATER THAN OURS.
NEVER A PEOPLE MORE RESILIENT 
THAN OURS.
AND NEVER A FUTURE MORE AMERICA 
MORE PROMISING THAN OURS RIGHT 
NOW.
KEEPING AMERICA GREAT IS UP TO 
US AND LOSING IS NOT AN OPTION.
>> SO YOU JUST HEARD THE 
CONGRESSMAN TALKING ABOUT THE, 
QUOTE, PHENOMENAL JOB THAT 
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND HIS 
ADMINISTRATION DID WHEN IT CAME 
TO SECURING PPE OR AS DON JR. 
WOULD SAY PPND.
NOW WE WANT TO TURN TO DR. VIN 
GUPTA WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF 
WASHINGTON MEDICAL CENTER.
DR. GUPTA, YOUR REACTION?
>> NEARLY 1,000 OF MY FRONT LINE
HEALTH CARE WORKERS HAVE DIED 
SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THIS 
PANDEMIC BECAUSE OF COVID-19.
SO NO ONE IS GOING TO TOLERATE 
IT ON OUR END, NURSES, 
RESPIRATORY THERAPISTS, DOCTORS.
LET'S BE CLEAR ON THE MAGNITUDE 
OF PPE SHORTAGES.
THE MAYOR BILL de BLASIO SAID WE
NEED AT LEAST A MILLION AMONG 
OTHER ITEMS, GOWNS.
200,000 WAS A SMALL FRACTION OF 
WHAT NEW YORK CITY ACTUALLY 
NEEDED.
THAT'S WHY YOU HAD NURSES AND 
OTHER HEALTH CARE STAFF IN TRASH
BAGS AS THEIR MAIN FORM OF PPE 
MULTIPLE TIMES THROUGHOUT THE 
WORST OF IT.
THE CDC ON MARCH 18th SAID IF 
YOU CAN'T GET AN N95 MASK, YOU 
CAN WEAR A SURGICAL MASK.
I HAD TO SWITCH.
SO THE CDC MASSAGED GUIDANCE 
BASED ON EXISTING REALITIES.
FINALLY, WHAT DID THEY DO WITH 
RESPONSE?
THEY IMPORTED KKN95 MASKS, WHIC 
WERE NOT AS GOOD.
SO THERE IS NO TRUTH TO ANY OF 
THIS.
HONESTY MATTERS. 
>> DR. GUPTA, THANK YOU SO MUCH 
FOR HELPING US TRACK THAT.
WE WILL DIP BACK INTO THE 
CONVENTION.
>> AS A LOCAL OFFICIAL AND AS A 
U.S. SENATOR, SERVICE, IT IS 
MORE THAN A WORD TO ME.
IT IS A MISSION.
A WAY OF LIFE.
IT IS WHAT BROUGHT ME TO CEDAR 
RAPIDS, IOWA, IN 2008 WHEN I WAS
IN THE NATIONAL GUARD.
WE SAW HISTORIC FLOODS THAT 
SWEPT THROUGH THE COMMUNITIES.
WE LENT A HELPING HAND TO OUR 
FELLOW IOWANS WHO WERE LITERALLY
OUT OF WATER.
12 YEARS LATER, THESE 
COMMUNITIES FACED A BIGGER 
DISASTER.
IF YOU DON'T LIVE IN IOWA, YOU 
MAY NOT HAVE HEARD MUCH ABOUT IT
AT FIRST.
WHILE REPORTERS HERE IN THE 
STATE WERE IN THE TRENCHES 
COVERING THE EQUIVALENT OF A 
CATEGORY TWO HURRICANE, MOST OF 
THE NATIONAL MEDIA LOOKED THE 
OTHER WAY.
TO THEM, IOWA IS STILL JUST 
FLY-OVER COUNTRY.
HOUSES, FARMS WERE DESTROYED.
ABOUT ONE-THIRD OF OUR CROPS 
HERE WERE DAMAGED.
IN SOME CASES, THESE STORMS 
WIPED OUT A LIFETIME OF WORK.
AND, YET, IOWA FARMERS DIDN'T 
HESITATE TO GRAB THEIR CHAIN 
SAWS AND CHECK ON THEIR 
NEIGHBORS.
OUR FARMERS LIVE EVERY DAY WITH 
THAT SENSE OF SERVICE, THE 
STEWARDS OF THE LAND, THE ONES 
THAT FEED AND FUEL THE WORLD.
PRESIDENT TRUMP QUICKLY SIGNED 
AN EMERGENCY DECLARATION OR IOWA
TO PROVIDE RELIEF.
AND, OF COURSE, WHEN PRESIDENT 
TRUMP CAME TO CEDAR RAPIDS, THE 
NATIONAL MEDIA FINALLY DID, TOO.
FOR YEARS I HAVE WORKED CLOSELY 
WITH THE PRESIDENT FOR FARMERS 
IN IOWA AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
WE SCRAPPED OBAMA AND BIDEN'S 
PUNISHING WATERS OF THE UNITED 
STATES RULE, WHICH WOULD HAVE 
REGULATED ABOUT 97% OF LAND IN 
IOWA.
IN SOME CASES, EVEN PUDDLES.
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A NIGHTMARE 
FOR FARMERS.
THE PRESIDENT DELIVERED ON MAJOR
TRADE DEALS WITH JAPAN, AND THE 
UNITED STATES/MEXICO/CANADA 
AGREEMENT AND HE IMPLEMENTED THE
SALE OF E-15 FUEL YEAR-ROUND.
THAT MEANS MORE CHOICES FOR YOU 
AT THE PUMP AND MORE JOBS FOR 
FARMERS IN THE HEART LAND.
THIS IS SOMETHING THE 
OBAMA/BIDEN ADMINISTRATION 
FAILED TO DO IN EIGHT YEARS.
IN FACT, I CAN'T RECALL AN 
ADMINISTRATION MORE HOSTILE TO 
FARMERS THAN OBAMA/BIDDEN UNLESS
YOU COUNT THE BIDDEN/HARRIS 
TICKET.
THEY ARE PUSHING THIS SO-CALLED 
GREEN NEW DEAL.
THEY WOULD ESSENTIALLY BAN 
ANIMAL AGRICULTURE AND ELIMINATE
GAS POWERED CARS.
IT WOULD DESTROY THE ARICULTURE
INDUSTRY, NOT JUST HERE IN IOWA 
BUT THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.
WHEN THE PANDEMIC HIT, PRESIDENT
TRUMP HEARD US.
KNOWING WE HAVE AN ALLY IN THE 
WHITE HOUSE IS IMPORTANT.
FOLKS, THIS ELECTION IS A CHOICE
BETWEEN TWO VERY DIFFERENT 
PATHS: FREEDOM, PROSPERITY AND 
ECONOMIC GROWTH UNDER A 
TRUMP/PENCE ADMINISTRATION OR A 
BIDEN/HARRIS PATH.
AN AMERICA WHERE FARMERS ARE 
PUNISHED, JOBS ARE DESTROYED AND
TAXES CRUSH THE MIDDLE CLASS.
THAT IS OUR CHOICE, AND IT'S A 
CLEAR ONE.
THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS. 
>> IOWA SENATOR.
I WILL JUST NOTE VERY BRIEFLY 
FOR THE RECORD THAT THERE IS NO 
INDICATION -- WE ALL BURST OUT 
LAUGHING.
THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT JOE 
BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS WANT TO 
BAN FARM ANIMALS AND CARS THAT 
THEY WILL ONCE THEY SEIZE POWER.
>> REGULATE PUDDLES. 
>> WELL, THEY WILL REGULATE THE 
HELL OUT OF THOSE PUDDLES, BUT 
THEY WILL LEAVE YOU YOUR FARM 
ANIMALS AND YOUR CARS. 
>> PHEW. 
>> I WASN'T PLANNING TO 
INTERJECT THERE.
WE WANT TO CHECK IN WITH BILL 
WHO IS WATCHING HURRICANE LAURA 
AS IT IS BEARING DOWN ON THE 
LOUISIANA/TEXAS COAST.
BILL, WHAT IS THE LATEST?
>> WELL, WINDS ARE NOW UP TO 150
MILES AN HOUR.
THIS IS ONLY 10 MILES AN HOUR 
SHY OF BEING A CATEGORY FIVE.
IT MAY NOT MAKE IT TO CATEGORY 
FIVE.
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
THIS WILL STILL BE INCREDIBLY 
STRONG AND DESTRUCTIVE.
THE NORTHERN EYE IS ONLY 45 
MILES FROM LOUISIANA.
THAT'S WHERE LAND FALL IS LIKELY
IN ABOUT THREE HOURS FROM RIGHT 
NOW.
AS WE GO THROUGH SOME OF THE 
MAPS AND GRAPHICS, THE STORM 
MOVES ON SHORE JUST TO THE 
RIGHT.
LOOKS LIKE LAKE CHARLES TO 
CAMERON, THAT WILL BE THE 
HIGHEST STORM SURGE AND WIND 
GUST.
THAT WILL BE MOVING ON SHORE 
OVER THE NEXT 8 TO 10 HOURS.
WE ARE APPROACHING HIGH TIDE 
HERE AFTER MIDNIGHT.
ALONG WITH IT WILL COME THE 
STORM SURGE.
15 TO 20 FEET OF WATER, A WALL 
OF WATER GOING ALL THE WAY 
THROUGH THE SWAMPLANDS, 30 TO 40
MILES INLAND.
THAT'S PASSED I-10, PASSED LAKE 
CHARLES.
TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA HOW FAR 
INLAND THAT WATER WILL GO, WE 
HAVE GRAVE CONCERNS ABOUT LAKE 
CHARLES BECAUSE THE RIVER THERE 
IS EXPECTED TO HAVE ITS HIGHEST 
WATER LEVEL EVER RECORDED AND IT
IS SUPPOSED TO FLOOD AT LEAST 
HALF THE CITY MAYBE EVEN MORE OF
THE CITY.
LOOK AT THESE INCREDIBLE WIND 
GUSTS.
THIS IS THE FORECAST MAX WINDS.
LAKE CHARLES 127, CAMERON 127.
NOTICE THE BACKSIDE OF THE 
STORM, THE WINDS WILL BE A 
LITTLE BIT WEAKER.
HOUSTON GETS SPARED.
BUT EVEN AS FAR NORTH AS 
SHREVEPORT COULD HAVE GUSTS OF 
60 TO 70 MILES AN HOUR.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE SAYING WE WILL 
HAVE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS, IF 
NOT MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WITHOUT 
POWER ALL THE WAY TO NORTHERN 
ARKANSAS FROM THIS STORM.
THE HURRICANE FORCE WINDS AND 
THE STORM SURGE WILL BE ARRIVING
ON THE TEXAS AND LOUISIANA 
COASTLINE AS WE GO THROUGHOUT 
THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. 
>> BILL, LET ME ASK YOU TO ZOOM 
IN ON THE HUMAN IMPACT HERE IN 
TERMS OF HURRICANE FORCE WINDS, 
THE MOST DAMAGING WINDS.
THE POPULATION CENTERS THAT ARE 
AT HIGHEST RISK RIGHT NOW, YOU 
KEEP MENTIONING LAKE CHARLES, 
LOUISIANA.
THAT'S ABOUT 78,000 PEOPLE YOU 
SAID EARLIER.
THAT'S THE MOST POPULATED PLACE 
IN THE MOST DANGER AT LEAST AT 
THE OUTSET?
>> YEAH.
IT'S INTERESTING.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE POPULATIONS 
ALL AROUND THE GULF COAST, IT IS
HITTING THE MOST POPULATED 
SPOTS.
THERE IS LITTLE SMALL 
COMMUNITIES, BUT THERE IS NOT A 
LOT OF POPULATIONS WHERE THE 
ACTUAL EYE IS GOING TO MAKE LAND
FALL, SO THAT'S GOOD NEWS.
BUT THIS IS THE EQUIVALENT.
THE WINDS IS GOING
EQUIVALENT TO AN EF-2 TORNADO.
SO, YES, THE SWAMMY AREAS AND 
THE WILDLIFE REFUGEES, THOSE 
AREAS WILL BE -- THERE WON'T BE 
A LOT OF DAMAGE OBVIOUS TO THE 
EYE.
BUT ONCE WE GET TO THE 
POPULATION CENTERS, THAT'S WHERE
WE WILL HAVE POWER OUTRAGES FOR 
DAYS, IF NOT WEEKS.
WE MENTION LAKE CHARLES THE MOST
BECAUSE 135 MILES AN HOUR WIND 
GUSTS ARE POSSIBLE AND A HUGE 
PORTION OF THE CITY IS EXPECTED 
TO FLOOD.
I MEAN, YOU CAN'T IMAGINE A 
WORSE SCENARIO FOR THE 78,000 
PEOPLE THAT CALLED THAT HOME. 
>> BILL, IN TERMS OF WHAT TO 
WATCH FOR OVER THE COURSE OF THE
NIGHT, WHAT WE EXPECT TO WAKE UP
TO IN THE MORNING, OBVIOUSLY WE 
HAVE SEEN MASS EVACUATIONS.
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE 
EVACUATED OFF THE COAST IN 
ADVANCE OF THIS.
AROUND TOMORROW MORNING AROUND 
DAWN, WHAT DO WE EXPECT 
CONDITIONS TO BE THEN WHEN WE 
CAN SEE WHAT'S HAPPENED AND WHEN
WE'RE LOOKING AT IMPACTS INTO 
TOMORROW DAYTIME?
>> YEAH.
THIS STORM IS DIFFERENT THAN SAY
HARVEY THAT LINGERED.
THIS WILL BE A QUICK HITTER.
IT'S IN AND IT'S OUT.
THE SUN WILL BE OUT TOMORROW 
AFTERNOON IN SOUTHWEST 
LOUISIANA.
NO ONE WILL HAVE POWER, BUT AT 
LEAST THE SUN WILL COME OUT AND 
IT WON'T BE RAINING.
HERE IS THE TIMING ON IT BEHIND 
ME HERE.
THIS IS WHEN WE GET THE LAND 
FALL, AROUND 3:00 A.M.
THE HEAVIEST RAINS GOING ALONG 
THE SHORE.
WE TAKE THAT STORM NORTH WARDS.
4:00 A.M. COMPLETELY ON SHORE 
AND WE HEAD UP TO SHREVEPORT BY 
TOMORROW NIGHT. 
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I KNOW WE WILL BE BACK WITH YOU 
OVER THE COURSE OF THE NIGHT AS 
WE CONTINUE TO WATCH THIS THREAT
FROM HURRICANE LAURA ON THE 
COAST.
WE WILL GET BACK NOW TO THE 
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION 
IN PROGRESS.
NIGHT THREE.
LARA TRUMP EXPECTED TO SPEAK 
NOW.
>>> GOOD EVENING, AMERICA.
I'M LARA TRUMP.
SISTER TO KYLE, MOTHER TO LUKE 
AND CAROLINA AND THE 
DAUGHTER-IN-LAW OF OUR 45th 
PRESIDENT, DONALD J. TRUMP.
BUT TONIGHT I COME TO YOU SIMPLY
AS AN AMERICAN.
MY LIFE BEGAN LIKE MANY IN OUR 
COUNTRY.
I GREW UP IN NORTH CAROLINA.
MY PARENTS WERE SMALL BUSINESS 
OWNERS AND WORKED HARD TO MAKE 
SURE THAT MY BROTHER AND I HAD 
EVERYTHING WE NEEDED BUT NOT 
EVERYTHING WE WANTED.
MY PARENTS RAISED ME TO BELIEVE 
THAT IN AMERICA I COULD ACHIEVE 
ANYTHING WITH HARD WORK AND 
DETERMINATION.
BUT THE OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE 
TO ME WERE LIMITED ONLY BY THE 
SIZE OF MY AMBITION, THAT I 
SHOULD DREAM BIG, AND I DID.
THOSE VERY DREAMS ARE WHAT LED 
ME TO NEW YORK CITY.
I HAD HEARD THE ADAGE IF I COULD
MAKE IT THERE, I CAN MAKE IT 
ANYWHERE, AND I INTENDED TO DO 
JUST THAT.
NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS DID I 
THINK THAT I WOULD BE ON THIS 
STAGE TONIGHT AND I CERTAINLY 
NEVER THOUGHT I'D END UP WITH 
THE LAST NAME TRUMP.
MY SEVENTH GRADE ENGLISH TEACHER
USED TO TELL US BELIEVE NONE OF 
WHAT YOU HEAR, HALF OF WHAT YOU 
READ AND ONLY WHAT YOU ARE THERE
TO WITNESS FIRSTHAND.
THE MEANING OF THOSE WORDS NEVER
FULLY WEIGHED ON ME UNTIL I MET 
MY HUSBAND AND THE TRUMP FAMILY.
ANY PRECONCEIVED NOTION I HAD OF
THIS FAMILY DISAPPEARED 
IMMEDIATELY.
THEY WERE WARM AND CARING.
THEY WERE HARD WORKERS, AND THEY
WERE DOWN TO EARTH.
THEY REMINDED ME OF MY OWN 
FAMILY.
THEY MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WAS 
HOME.
WALKING THE HALLS OF THE TRUMP 
ORGANIZATION, I SAW THE SAME 
FAMILY ENVIRONMENT.
I ALSO SAW THE COUNTLESS WOMEN 
EXECUTIVES WHO THRIVED THERE 
YEAR AFTER YEAR.
GENDER DIDN'T MATTER.
WHAT MATTERED WAS THE ABILITY TO
GET THE JOB DONE.
I LEARNED THIS DIRECTLY WHEN IN 
2016 MY FATHER-IN-LAW ASKED ME 
TO HELP HIM WIN MY CHERISHED 
HOME STATE AND MY DAUGHTER'S 
NAME SAKE NORTH CAROLINA.
THOUGH I HAD NO POLITICAL 
EXPERIENCE, HE BELIEVED IN ME.
HE KNEW I WAS CAPABLE, EVEN IF I
DIDN'T.
SO IT DIDN'T SURPRISE ME WHEN 
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP APPOINTED
SO MANY WOMEN TO SENIOR-LEVEL 
POSITIONS IN HIS ADMINISTRATION.
SECRETARY OF THE UNITED NATIONS,
SECRETARY OF THE AIR FORCE, THE 
FIRST FEMALE CIA DIRECTOR, THE 
FIRST BLACK FEMALE DIRECTOR OF 
THE FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE 
AND COUNTLESS AMBASSADORS JUST 
TO NAME A FEW.
UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP'S 
LEADERSHIP, WOMEN'S UNEMPLOYMENT
HIT THE LOWEST LEVEL SINCE WORLD
WAR II.
4.3 MILLION NEW JOBS HAD BEEN 
CREATED FOR WOMEN IN 2019 ALONE.
WOMEN TOOK OVER 70% OF ALL NEW 
JOBS.
FEMALE SMALL BUSINESS OWNERSHIP 
REMAINS AT AN ALL-TIME HEIGHT 
AND 600,000 WOMEN HAVE BEEN 
LIFTED OUT OF POVERTY ALL SINCE 
PRESIDENT TRUMP TOOK OFFICE.
HE DIDN'T DO THESE THINGS TO 
GAIN A VOTE OR CHECK A BOX.
HE DID THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE THE 
RIGHT THINGS TO DO.
100 YEARS AGO TODAY, THE 19th 
AMENDMENT WAS RATIFIED GRANTING 
THE RIGHT TO VOTE TO EVERY 
AMERICAN WOMAN.
AND SINCE THAT DAY, INCREDIBLE 
STRIDES HAVE BEEN MADE BY WOMEN 
IN AMERICA.
FROM AMELIA, WOMEN SHAPED OUR 
HISTORY.
I OFTEN THINK BACK TO MY 
14-YEAR-OLD SELF DRIVING ALONE 
IN MY CAR FROM NORTH CAROLINA TO
NEW YORK CITY AND I THINK ABOUT 
WHAT I'D TELL MYSELF NOW AS WE 
HEAD TOWARDS THE MOST CRITICAL 
ELECTION IN MODERN HISTORY.
THIS IS NOT JUST A CHOICE 
BETWEEN REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRAT 
OR LEFT AND RIGHT.
THIS IS AN ELECTION THAT WILL 
DECIDE IF WE KEEP AMERICA 
AMERICA OR IF WE HEAD DOWN AN 
UNCHARTERED FRIGHTENING PATH 
TOWARDS SOCIALISM.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN ONCE FAMOUSLY 
SAID AMERICA WILL NEVER BE 
DESTROYED FROM THE OUTSIDE.
IF WE FALTER AND LOSE OUR 
FREEDOMS, IT WILL BE BECAUSE WE 
DESTROYED OURSELVES.
WHILE THOSE WORDS WERE SPOKEN 
OVER 150 YEARS AGO, NEVER HAVE 
THEY BEEN MORE RELEVANT.
WILL WE CHOOSE THE PATH THAT 
MAKES THIS COUNTRY THE GREATEST 
IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD?
WILL WE REMAIN THE BEACON OF 
HOPE FOR THOSE FIGHTING 
OPPRESSION, COMMUNISM AND 
TYRANNY?
I KNOW THE PROMISE OF AMERICA 
BECAUSE I LIVED IT, NOT JUST AS 
A MEMBER OF THE TRUMP FAMILY BUT
AS A WOMAN WHO KNOWS WHAT IT'S 
LIKE TO WORK IN BLUE COLLAR JOBS
AND TO ASPIRE TO RISE.
WHEN I LOOK AT MY SON LUKE AND 
MY DAUGHTER CAROLINA, I WONDER 
WHAT SORT OF COUNTRY WILL I BE 
LEAVING FOR THEM, FOR OUR FUTURE
GENERATIONS?
WE HAVE SEEN WEAK, SPINELESS 
POLITICIANS SEEK CONTROL OF OUR 
CITIES.
DEFUND POLICE IS THE RALLYING 
CRY FOR THE NEW RADICAL 
DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
JOE BIDEN WILL NOT DO WHAT IT 
TAKES TO MAINTAIN ORDER, TO KEEP
OUR CHILDREN SAFE IN OUR 
NEIGHBORHOODS AND IN THEIR 
SCHOOLS, TO RESTORE OUR AMERICAN
WAY OF LIFE.
WE CANNOT DARE TO DREAM OUR 
BIGGEST DREAMS FOR OURSELVES OR 
FOR OUR CHILDREN WHILE CONSUMED 
BY WORRY ABOUT THE SAFETY OF OUR
FAMILIES.
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS THE LAW AND 
ORDER PRESIDENT, FROM OUR 
BORDERS TO OUR BACKYARDS.
PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL KEEP 
AMERICA SAFE.
PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL KEEP 
AMERICA PROSPEROUS.
PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL KEEP 
AMERICA AMERICA.
IF YOU ARE WATCHING TONIGHT AND 
WRESTLING WITH YOUR VOTE ON 
NOVEMBER 3rd, I IMPLORE YOU: 
TUNE OUT THE DISTORTED NEWS AND 
BIAS COMMENTARY AND HEAR IT 
STRAIGHT FROM SOMEONE WHO KNOWS.
I WASN'T BORN A TRUMP.
I'M FROM THE SOUTH.
I WAS RAISED A CAROLINA GIRL.
MRS. B. FROM MY 7th GRADE 
ENGLISH CLASS WAS RIGHT.
WHAT I LEARNED ABOUT OUR 
PRESIDENT IS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT
YOU MIGHT HAVE HEARD.
I LEARNED THAT HE IS A GOOD MAN,
THAT HE LOVES HIS FAMILY, THAT 
HE DIDN'T NEED THIS JOB, THAT NO
ONE ON EARTH WORKS HARDER FOR 
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, THAT HE'S 
WILLING TO FIGHT FOR HIS BELIEFS
AND FOR THE PEOPLE AND THE 
COUNTRY THAT HE LOVES.
HE IS A PERSON OF CONVICTION.
HE IS A FIGHTER AND WILL NEVER 
STOP FIGHTING FOR AMERICA.
HE WILL UPHOLD OUR VALUES.
HE WILL PRESERVE OUR FAMILIES, 
AND HE WILL BUILD UPON THE GREAT
AMERICAN EDICT THAT OUR UNION 
MAY NEVER BE PERFECT UNTIL 
OPPORTUNITY IS EQUAL FOR ALL 
INCLUDING AND ESPECIALLY FOR 
WOMEN.
OUR 40th PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN
SAID IT BEST.
THE DREAMS OF PEOPLE MAY DIFFER,
BUT EVERYBODY WANTS THEIR DREAMS
TO COME TRUE.
AND AMERICA, ABOVE ALL PLACES, 
GIVES US THE FREEDOM TO DO THAT.
IT'S UP TO US TO KEEP THIS 
COUNTRY A PLACE WHERE NO DREAM 
IS OUT OF REACH FOR OUR CHILDREN
IN GENERATIONS BEYOND.
TO MY FATHER-IN-LAW, THANK YOU 
FOR BELIEVING IN ME.
THANK YOU FOR BRAVELY LEADING 
THIS COUNTRY AND THANK YOU FOR 
CONTINUING TO FIGHT EVERY DAY 
FOR AMERICA.
MAY GOD BLESS AND PROTECT THE 
GULF STATES IN THE PATH OF THE 
HURRICANE.
MAY GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS AND MAY
GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS THIS 
INCREDIBLE COUNTRY.
>> LARA TRUMP, WHO IS MARRIED TO
ONE OF THE PRESIDENT'S ADULT 
SONS, ERIC TRUMP.
WE WILL TAKE A QUICK BREAK.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

I KNOW FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.
WALKING INTO A DEPARTMENT STORE 
IN 1960, I KNEW IT WAS UNLIKE 
ANY DAY I HAD EXPERIENCED 
BEFORE.
MY FRIENDS HAD BEEN DENIED 
SERVICE THE DAY BEFORE BECAUSE 
OF THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN.
WE KNEW IT WASN'T RIGHT.
BUT WHEN WE WENT BACK THE NEXT 
DAY, I DIDN'T KNOW IF I WAS 
GOING TO COME OUT IN A VERTICAL 
OR PRONE POSITION IN HANDCUFFS 
OR IN A STRETCHER OR EVEN IN A 
BODY BAG.
MY SITTING DOWN TO ORDER A CUP 
AFTER COFFEE, WE CHALLENGED 
INJUSTICE.
WE KNEW IT WAS NECESSARY, BUT WE
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN.
WE FACED DOWN THE KKK.
WE WERE CURSED AT AND CALLED ALL
KINDS OF NAMES.
THEY THREATENED TO KILL US AND 
SOME OF US WERE ARRESTED.
BUT IT WAS WORTH IT.
OUR ACTIONS INSPIRED SIMILAR 
PROTESTS THROUGHOUT THE SOUTH 
AGAINST RACIAL INJUSTICE.
AND IN THE END, IT WAS ABOLISHED
AND OUR COUNTRY MOVED THROUGH 
WITH EQUALITY FOR ALL.
AMERICA ISN'T PERFECT.
WE'RE ALWAYS IMPROVING.
BUT THE GREAT THING ABOUT THIS 
COUNTRY IS IT'S NOT WHERE YOU 
COME FROM.
IT IS WHERE YOU'RE GOING.
I WAS BORN ON WHAT SOME WOULD 
CALL THE WRONG SIDE OF THE 
TRACKS.
I DON'T EVEN HAVE A BIRTH 
CERTIFICATE.
I NEVER ATTENDED AN INTEGRATED 
SCHOOL.
AND I'M THE ONLY ONE OUT OF MY 
IMMEDIATE FAMILY WHO GARAGE 
WAITED FROM COLLEGE AT HBCU.
I'M A MILITARY VETERAN AND A 
CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVIST.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE?
I'M A REPUBLICAN.
AND I SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP.
IF THAT SOUNDS STRANGE, YOU 
DON'T KNOW YOUR HISTORY.
IT WAS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY THAT
PASSED THE 13th AMENDMENT, 
ABOLISHING SLAVERY.
IT WAS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY THAT
PASSED THE 15th AMENDMENT, 
GIVING BLACK MEN THE RIGHT TO 
VOTE.
FREEDOM OF THOUGHT IS A POWERFUL
THING.
THERE ARE AMERICANS, VOTERS ALL 
OVER THE COUNTRY WHO MEDIA IS 
TRYING TO CONVINCE TO CONFORM TO
THE SAME, OLD DEMOCRATIC TALKING
POINTS.
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT WILL GET YOU?
IS SAME OLD RESULTS.
JOE BIDEN HAD THE AUDACITY TO 
SAY THAT IF YOU DON'T VOTE FOR 
HIM, YOU AIN'T BLACK.
WITH THAT I SAY, IF YOU DO VOTE 
FOR BIDEN, YOU DON'T KNOW 
HISTORY.
DONALD TRUMP IS NOT A 
POLITICIAN.
HE'S A LEADER.
POLITICIANS ARE A DIME A DOZEN.
LEADERS ARE PRICELESS.
THE RECORD FUNDING TRUMP GAVE 
HBCUs IS PRICELESS, TOO.
SO ARE THE RECORD NUMBER OF JOBS
HE CREATED FOR THE BLACK 
COMMUNITY AND THE INVESTMENT HE 
DROVE INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOODS 
WITH TAX INCENTIVES AND 
OPPORTUNITY ZONES.
AND SO ARE THE LIVES HE RESTORED
BY PASSING CRIMINAL JUSTICE 
REFORM WHERE 91% OF THE INMATES 
RELEASED ARE BLACK.
THESE ACHIEVEMENTS DEMONSTRATE 
THAT DONALD TRUMP TRULY CARES 
ABOUT BLACK LIVES.
HIS POLICIES SHOW HIS HEART.
HE HAS DONE MORE MORE BLACK 
AMERICA IN FOUR YEARS THAN JOE 
BIDEN HAS DONE IN 50.
DONALD TRUMP IS OFFERING REAL 
AND LASTING CHANGE AND 
UNPRECEDENTED OPPORTUNITY TO 
RISE.
A COUNTRY THAT EMBRACES THE 
SPIRIT OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS 
MOVEMENT OF THE '60s, A PLACE 
WHERE PEOPLE ARE DUJED BY THE 
CONTENT OF THEIR CHARACTER, 
THEIR TALENTS AND ABILITIES, NOT
BY THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN.
THIS IS THE AMERICA I WAS 
FIGHTING FOR 60 YEARS AGO.
THIS IS THE AMERICA DONALD TRUMP
IS FIGHTING FOR TODAY.
LET'S ALL JOIN IN THIS FIGHT FOR
RE-ELECTING DONALD TRUMP ON 
NOVEMBER 3rd.
THANK YOU.
>>> DURING THE PRESIDENTIAL 
PRIMARY DEBATES FOUR YEARS AGO, 
ONE OUTSIDER STOOD ALONE AND 
SAID IN PUBLIC WHAT MOST 
AMERICANS THOUGHT IN PRIVATE.
IT WAS 14 YEARS AFTER THE START 
OF THE WAR IN AFGHANISTAN AND 12
YEARS AFTER THE INVASION OF 
IRAQ.
WITH THOUSANDS OF AMERICAN 
TROOPS HAD DIED AND TRILLIONS IN
TAXPAYER DOLLARS HAD BEEN SPENT.
AND, YET, NO CANDIDATE COULD 
BRING THEMSELVES TO ADMIT THAT 
SOMETHING HAD GONE BADLY WRONG 
WITH AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY.
BUT THE AMERICAN VOTER, THE 
AMERICAN SOLDIER AND THE 
AMERICAN TAXPAYER HAD ALL BEEN 
LET DOWN EXCEPT FOR ONE, DONALD 
TRUMP.
HE CALLED AMERICA'S ENDLESS WARS
WHAT THEY WERE, A DISASTER.
THE MEDIA WAS SHOCKED BECAUSE 
DONALD TRUMP WAS RUNNING AS A 
REPUBLICAN.
AND, YET, HE SAID OUT LOUD WHAT 
WE ALL KNEW, THAT AMERICAN 
FOREIGN POLICY WAS FAILING TO 
MAKE AMERICANS SAFER.
AFTER THE END OF THE COLD WAR, 
DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS IN 
WASHINGTON BOUGHT INTO THE 
ILLUSION THAT THE WHOLE WORLD 
WOULD START TO RESEMBLE AMERICA,
SO THEY STARTED TO PURSUE 
UNLIMITED GLOBALIZATION.
THEY WELCOMED CHINA INTO THE 
WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION.
THEY ENGAGED IN NATION BUILDING 
IN AFGHANISTAN AND TRIED TO 
EXPORT DEMOCRACY TO IRAQ.
THEY SIGNED A NEW CLEAR DEAL 
WITH IRAN AND A GLOBAL CLIMATE 
AGREEMENT IN PARIS.
BUT THEY DIDN'T GROUND ANY OF IT
IN THE INTEREST OF THE AVERAGE 
AMERICAN.
SO FOR DECADES WHILE WASHINGTON 
POLITICIANS BUILT A GLOBAL 
SYSTEM, AMERICAN WAGES 
STAGNATED.
OUR GREAT CITIES AND INDUSTRIES 
WERE HALLOWED OUT.
ENTIRE COMMUNITIES WERE 
DEVASTATED AND OUR MANUFACTURING
PLANTS WERE SHIPPED OFF TO 
CHINA.
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED WHEN 
WASHINGTON STOPPED BEING THE 
CAPITAL OF THE UNITED STATES AND
STARTED BEING THE CAPITAL OF THE
WORLD.
AS U.S. AMBASSADOR TO GERMANY, I
HAD A FRONT ROW SEAT TO DONALD 
TRUMP'S AMERICA FIRST FOREIGN 
POLICY.
I WISH EVERY AMERICAN COULD SEE 
HOW PRESIDENT TRUMP NEGOTIATES 
ON THEIR BEHALF.
I HAVE WATCHED PRESIDENT TRUMP 
CHARM THE CHANCELLOR OF GERMANY 
WHILE INSISTING THAT THEY PAY 
ITS NATO OBLIGATIONS.
I WAS PROUD TO SEE PRESIDENT 
TRUMP.
I WON'T LET THE AMERICAN 
TAXPAYER BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF.
DONALD TRUMP'S ADMINISTRATION 
HAS ALWAYS MADE CLEAR THAT OUR 
PRIORITY IS THE AMERICAN 
PEOPLE'S SECURITY.
THAT'S THE JOB OF ALL LEADERS, 
TO PUT THEIR PEOPLE FIRST.
AND WE HAVE SEEN HOW THIS 
STRATEGY HAS SUCCEEDED.
IN FOUR SHORT YEARS, DONALD 
TRUMP HAS LED EVEN SOME 
WASHINGTON DEMOCRATS TO AGREE ON
THE CHINESE THREAT, ON TRADE 
DEALS THAT BENEFIT AMERICA 
FIRST, ON ALLIANCES THAT SHARE 
RESPONSIBILITY.
IN FOUR YEARS, DONALD TRUMP 
DIDN'T START ANY NEW WARS.
HE BROUGHT TROOPS HOME.
HE REBUILT THE MILITARY AND 
SIGNED PEACE DEALS THAT MAKE 
AMERICANS SAFER.
THE WASHINGTON ELITES WANT YOU 
TO THINK THIS KIND OF FOREIGN 
POLICY IS IMMORAL.
AND, SO, THEY CALL IT 
NATIONALIST.
THAT TELLS YOU ALL YOU NEED TO 
KNOW.
THE D.C. CROWD THINKS WHEN THEY 
CALL DONALD TRUMP A NATIONALIST 
THEY'RE INSULTING HIM.
THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT ISN'T 
SUPPOSED TO BASE FOREIGN POLICY 
ON AMERICAN'S NATIONAL 
S
INTERESTS.
A PLAIN LOAD OF CASH IN THE 
MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
WELL, YOU SEE, PRESIDENT TRUMP 
ALSO SENT AN AIRCRAFT IN THE 
MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT TO DEAL WITH
IRAN, BUT THAT PLANE WAS ON A 
DIFFERENT MISSION.
AN AIR STRIKE TO TAKE OUT THE 
HEAD OF IRAN'S TERROR MACHINE 
WHO PLOTTED THE DEATHS OF 
AMERICANS.
BUT WE ALSO MUST BE CLEAR THAT 
WHEN THOSE WHO SEEK FREEDOM TAKE
PERSONAL RISK, THERE IS NO DOUBT
WHO PRESIDENT TRUMP'S 
ADMINISTRATION SUPPORTS.
WE WILL ALWAYS STAND WITH THE 
PEOPLE WHO FIGHT FOR THEIR 
GOD-GIVEN FREEDOMS.
DON'T BE FOOLED.
THE WASHINGTON ESTABLISHMENT IS 
TRYING TO SELL YOU ON THEIR 
CANDIDATE.
JOE BIDEN WAS FIRST ELECTED TO 
THE SENATE IN 1972, 48 YEARS 
AGO.
WELL, IT'S ACTUALLY THE TYPICAL 
WASHINGTON STORY.
JUST THIS YEAR 22 DEMOCRATS RAN 
FOR PRESIDENT.
THEY REJECTED ALL OF THE 
OUTSIDERS AND NOMINATED THE 
ULTIMATE WASHINGTON INSIDER.
SOMEONE THEY HAD TO PULL OUT OF 
RETIREMENT.
EVERY TIME JOE BIDEN OFFERS A 
NEW IDEA, YOU SHOULD ASK 
YOURSELF, WHY DIDN'T HE TRY THAT
OVER THE LAST 48 YEARS?
TODAY THE DEMOCRATS BLAME A 
GLOBAL PANDEMIC THAT STARTED IN 
CHINA ON PRESIDENT TRUMP, AND 
THEY STILL BLAME RUSSIA FOR 
HILLARY CLINTON'S LOSS IN 2016.
AS ACTING DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL 
INTELLIGENCE, I SAW THE 
DEMOCRATS' ENTIRE CASE FOR 
RUSSIAN COLLUSION.
AND WHAT I SAW MADE ME SICK TO 
MY STOMACH.
THE OBAMA/BIDEN ADMINISTRATION 
SECRETLY LAUNCHED A SURVEILLANCE
ON THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND 
SILENCED THE MANY OFFICIALS WHO 
SPOKE UP AGAINST IT.
THEY PRESENTED BOGUS INFORMATION
AS FACTS.
THEY LIED TO JUDGES.
THEN THEY CLASSIFIED ANYTHING 
THAT UNDERMINED THEIR CASE.
AND AFTER DONALD TRUMP WON THE 
ELECTION, WHEN THEY SHOULD HAVE 
CONTINUED THE AMERICAN TRADITION
OF HELPING THE PRESIDENT-ELECT 
TRANSITION INTO THE WHITE HOUSE,
THEY TRIED INSTEAD TO UNDERCUT 
HIM EVEN MORE.
FORMER VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN 
ASKED INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS TO 
UNCOVER THE HIDDEN INFORMATION 
ON PRESIDENT TRUMP'S INCOMING 
NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER THREE 
WEEKS BEFORE THE INAUGURATION.
THAT'S THE DEMOCRATS.
BETWEEN SURVEILLANCE 
CLASSIFICATIONS, LEAKS AND 
PUPPET CANDIDATES, THEY NEVER 
WANT THE AMERICAN PUBLIC TO KNOW
WHO IS ACTUALLY CALLING THE 
SHOTS.
BUT WITH DONALD TRUMP, YOU 
ALWAYS KNOW EXACTLY WHO IS IN 
CHARGE.
BECAUSE THE ANSWER IS YOU.
YOU'RE IN CHARGE.
NOT LOBBYISTS, NOT SPECIAL 
INTERESTS.
WITH DONALD TRUMP AND MIKE PENCE
IN THE WHITE HOUSE, THE BOSS IS 
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
PRESIDENT TRUMP RIGHTLY CALLS 
HIS FOREIGN POLICY AMERICA 
T
FIRST.
AMERICA FIRST DOES NOT ADVANCE 
THE INTEREST OF ONE GROUP OF 
AMERICANS AT THE EXPENSE OF 
ANOTHER.
IT HAS NO BIAS ABOUT RED OR 
BLUE, EDUCATED OR NOT EDUCATED, 
URBAN OR RURAL.
AMERICA FIRST IS SIMPLY THE 
BELIEF THAT POLITICIANS SHOULD 
FOCUS ON QUALITY AND DIGNITY OF 
EVERY AMERICAN AND THAT THIS 
DUTY IS FULFILLED BY PROMOTING 
THE SAFETY AND WEALTH OF THE 
AMERICAN PEOPLE ABOVE ALL ELSE.
THAT'S AMERICA FIRST.
THAT'S THE TRUMP DOCTRINE.
AND THAT, MY FRIENDS, IS FOUR 
MORE YEARS.
>> THAT WAS AN AMBITIOUS PRESS 
AID IN THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION 
WORKING HIS WAY UP IN JOBS FOR 
HIS CHIEF JOB WAS TO DEFEND THE 
WARS IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN.
BUT THAT WAS THEN.
NOW HE IS SPINNING PLATES WITH 
REALLY SOME OF THE WHACKIEST 
CONSPIRACY THEORIES THAT HAVE 
BEEN PEDDLED OVER THE PAST THREE
AND A HALF YEARS AND HOW THE 
TRUMP CAMPAIGN ENDED UP.
THOSE ARE BY NATURE SECRET.
JOINING OUR CONVERSATION NOW, 
FORMER DEPUTY NATIONAL SECURITY 
ADVISER BEN ROSE.
BEN, THIS FALLS UNDER THE 
CATEGORY OF FALSE, MISLEADING 
AND PRETTY DANGEROUS.
>> YEAH, NICOLE.
I'M NOT SURE WHERE TO START.
TO FACT CHECK A COUPLE THINGS, 
HE TALKS ABOUT TRUMP BRINGING 
TROOPS HOME.
THERE ARE MORE THAN 10,000 
ADDITIONAL TROOPS SERVING THE 
MIDDLE EAST NOW THAN WHEN DONALD
TRUMP TOOK OFFICE.
ANGELA MERKEL AND DONALD TRUMP 
FAMOUSLY DON'T GET ALONG.
AND AMERICANS STANDING HAS 
COLLAPSED IN EUROPE AND AMONG 
ALL OF OUR ALLIES.
HE TALKS ABOUT JOE BIDEN AND THE
DEMOCRATS CASE ABOUT RUSSIAN 
INTERVENTION IN OUR 2016 
ELECTION.
IT WASN'T THE DEMOCRATS CASE.
IT WAS THE UNITED STATES 
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY, THE 
UNITED STATES LAW ENFORCEMENT 
COMMUNITY, THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE 
BEEN ATTACKING EVER SINCE DONALD
TRUMP SET FOOT IN OFFICE.
I THINK IT'S DANGEROUS ABOUT THE
REALITY OF TRUMP'S FOREIGN 
POLICY AND ALSO DANGEROUS IN 
OBSCURING VERY REAL THREATS TO 
OUR SECURE LIKE THE FACT THAT 
RUSSIA INTERFERED IN OUR 
ELECTION ONCE AND ARE DOING IT 
AS WE SPEAK. 
>> THIS WAS MIKE FLYNN ON THE 
PHONE WITH RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR 
KISLYAK TALKING ABOUT THE OMA 
SANCTIONS ON PUTIN.
I MEAN, THIS WASN'T A POLITICAL 
OPERATION.
THIS WAS A NATIONAL SECURITY 
OPERATION.
AND EVEN THERE THE FACTS ARE 
WRONG.
>> THE FACTS ARE WRONG RIGHT 
THERE.
WHY WAS MIKE FLYNN TALKING TO 
THE RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR IN THE 
FIRST PLACE?
WE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH 
LAUNCHING COUNTER INTELLIGENCE 
OPERATIONS BY THE FBI WHEN YOU 
SEE A DANGER TO NATIONAL 
SECURITY.
WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT DONALD TRUMP
PUTTING AMERICA FIRST, THAT'S 
THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT HAPPENED 
HERE.
THEY PUT DONALD TRUMP'S INTEREST
ABOVE THE NATIONAL SECURITY OF 
THE UNITED STATES, ABOVE THE 
SECURITY OF OUR DEMOCRACY.
WHAT DID HE NOT TALK ABOUT OTHER
THAN SAYING WE DEMOCRATS BLAMED 
DONALD TRUMP FOR A GLOBAL 
PANDEMIC.
THE FACT THAT 180,000 AMERICANS 
ARE DEAD FROM COVID, WHICH IS 
ENORMOUSLY HIGHER THAN ANY OTHER
COUNTRY IN THE WORLD PRECISELY 
BECAUSE DONALD TRUMP IS UNABLE 
TO WORK WITH OTHER COUNTRIES, 
UNABLE TO LISTEN TO EXPERTS, 
UNABLE TO MARSHALL THE RESOURCES
OF THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT TO 
ACTUALLY HELP AMERICANS.
SO WHEN WE TALKS ABOUT AMERICA 
FIRST, WE'RE LAST, NICOLE, IN 
DEALING WITH THIS PANDEMIC JUST 
AS WE HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY 
UNWILLING UNDER THIS PRESIDENT 
TO STAND UP TO THE NATIONAL 
SECURITY THREAT FROM RUSSIA. 
>> I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT THE 
REMARKS HE MADE.
WHEN THOSE TWO SEEK FREEDOM TAKE
TREMENDOUS PERSONAL RISKS IN 
PLACES LIKE HONG KONG, TIE RAN 
OR THE CAPITAL OF BELARUS, HE'S 
MAKING IT SOUND LIKE DEMOCRATIC 
ADMINISTRATIONS IN THE PAST 
NEVER SUPPORTED PRO-DEMOCRACY 
MOVEMENTS IN OTHER PLACES.
WHEREAS, TRUMP HAS BEEN VOCAL 
AND OBVIOUSLY COMING DOWN HARD 
ON THE SIDE OF PROTESTERS IN 
PLACES LIKE THAT.
HOW DOES THAT COMPORT WITH 
REALITY. 
>> WHEN DONALD TRUMP WAS ASKED 
ABOUT THE HONG KONG PROTESTS 
WHEN THERE WAS A BILL SITTING ON
HIS DESK UNANIMOUSLY PASSED BY 
THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS, HE 
SAID HE WANTED PRESIDENT XI TO 
BE ABLE TO WORK IT OUT.
HE ONLY CAME TO THIS LINE HE'S 
NOW USING ON HONG KONG MONTHS 
AFTER HE CALLS THE CHINA VIRUS 
WHEN HE DECIDED HE HAD TO GO IN 
WITH AN ANTI-CHINA STRATEGY.
THE UNITED STATES STOOD UP FOR 
HUMAN RIGHTS AROUND THE WORLD 
UNDER BARACK OBAMA AND 
PRESIDENTS OF BOTH PARTIES, 
INCLUDING GETS CHINESE DISDENTS 
OUT OF CHINA.
WHERE WAS NIVALNY IN THAT 
SPEECH?
THE LEADING OPPOSITION FIGURE, 
HE WAS POISONED RECENTLY, DAYS 
AGO, AND IS NOW BEING HELD IN 
GERMANY, THE COUNTRY THAT HE WAS
AMBASSADOR TOO. 
>> BEN ROSE, THANK YOU, BEN.
INVALUABLE TO HAVE YOU HERE.
MIKE PENCE, VICE PRESIDENT MIKE 
PENCE ABOUT TO BEGIN HIS 
REMARKS.
>> PLEASE WELCOME, THE VICE 
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, 
MIKE PENCE.
ACCOMPANIED BY THE SECOND LADY, 
MRS. KAREN PENCE.
>> THIS IS FORT McHENRY, AMARI 
LAND NATIONAL MONUMENT, A PLACE 
THAT WAS THE SETTING FOR THE 
STAR-SPANGLED BANNER.
THIS MONUMENT HAS BEEN CLOSED TO
THE PUBLIC BECAUSE OF COVID 
REASONS FOR FIVE MONTHS NOW.
[ APPLAUSE ]
>> FOUR MORE YEARS!
FOUR MORE YEARS!
FOUR MORE YEARS!
>> GOOD EVENING, AMERICA.
IT IS AN HONOR TO SPEAK TO YOU 
TONIGHT FROM THE HALLOWED 
GROUNDS OF FORT McHENRY, THE 
SITE OF THE VERY BATTLE THAT 
INSPIRED THE WORDS OF OUR 
NATIONAL ANTHEM.
THOSE WORDS HAVE INSPIRED THIS 
LAND OF HEROES IN EVERY 
GENERATION SINCE.
IT WAS ON THIS SITE 206 YEARS 
AGO WHEN OUR YOUNG REPUBLIC WITH
STOOD NAVAL BOMB BOARDMENT FROM 
THE MOST POWERFUL EMPIRE ON 
EARTH.
THEY CAME TO CRUSH OUR 
REVOLUTION, TO DIVIDE OUR NATION
AND TO END THE AMERICAN 
EXPERIMENT.
THE HEROES WHO HELD THIS FORT 
TOOK THEIR STAND FOR LIFE, 
LIBERTY, FREEDOM AND THE 
AMERICAN FLAG.
AND THOSE IDEALS HAVE DEFINED 
OUR NATION.
BUT THEY WERE HARDLY EVER 
MENTIONED AT LAST WEEK'S 
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION.
INSTEAD, DEMOCRATS SPENT FOUR 
DAYS ATTACKING AMERICA.
JOE BIDEN SAID THAT WE WERE 
LIVING THROUGH A SEASON OF 
DARKNESS, BUT AS PRESIDENT TRUMP
SAID, WHERE JOE BIDEN SEES 
AMERICA DARKNESS, WE SEE AMERICA
GREATNESS.
[ APPLAUSE ]
>> IN THESE CHALLENGING TIMES, 
OUR COUNTRY NEEDS A PRESIDENT 
WHO BELIEVES IN AMERICA.
WHO BELIEVES IN THE BOUNDLESS 
CAPACITY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE,
TO MEET ANY CHALLENGE, DEFEAT 
ANY FOE AND DEFEND THE FREEDOMS 
WE HOLD DEAR.
AMERICA NEEDS FOUR MORE YEARS OF
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IN THE 
WHITE HOUSE.
BEFORE I GO FURTHER, LET ME SAY 
TO THE FAMILIES IN THE PATH OF 
HURRICANE LAURA.
OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU 
TONIGHT.
FEMA HAS MOBILIZED RESOURCES AND
SUPPLIES FOR THOSE IN HARM'S 
WAY.
THIS IS A SERIOUS STORM, AND WE 
URGE ALL THOSE IN THE AFFECTED 
AREAS TO HEED LOCAL AUTHORITIES.
STAY SAFE AND KNOW WE WILL BE 
WITH YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY 
TO SUPPORT, RESCUE, RESPOND AND 
RECOVER IN THE DAYS AND WEEKS 
AHEAD.
THAT'S WHAT AMERICANS DO.
[ APPLAUSE ]
>> FOUR YEARS AGO, I ANSWERED 
THE CALL TO JOIN THIS TICKET 
BECAUSE I KNEW THAT DONALD TRUMP
AND THE LEADERSHIP AND THE 
VISION TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT 
AGAIN.
AND FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS, I 
HAVE WATCHED THIS PRESIDENT 
ENDURE UNRELENTING ATTACKS, BUT 
GET UP EVERY DAY AND FIGHT TO 
KEEP THE PROMISES THAT HE MADE 
TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
SO WITH GRATITUDE FOR THE 
CONFIDENCE PRESIDENT DONALD 
TRUMP HAS PLACED IN ME, THE 
SUPPORT OF OUR REPUBLICAN PARTY 
AND THE GRACE OF GOD, I HUMBLY 
ACCEPT YOUR NOMINATION TO RUN 
AND SERVE AS VICE PRESIDENT OF 
THE UNITED STATES.
[ APPLAUSE ]
>> SERVING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE 
IN THIS OFFICE HAS BEEN A 
JOURNEY I NEVER EXPECTED.
IT'S A JOURNEY THAT WOULD NOT 
HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE 
SUPPORT OF MY FAMILY.
BEGINNING WITH MY WONDERFUL WIFE
KAREN.
SHE'S A LIFELONG SCHOOLTEACHER, 
AN INCREDIBLE MOTHER TO OUR 
THREE CHILDREN AND SHE IS ONE 
OUTSTANDING SECOND LADY OF THE 
UNITED STATES.
I'M SO PROUD OF YOU.
AND WE COULDN'T BE MORE PROUD OF
OUR THREE CHILDREN.
MARINE CORPS CAPTAIN MICHAEL J. 
PENCE AND HIS WIFE SARA.
OUR DAUGHTER CHARLOTTE PENCE 
VAUGHN, AN AUTHOR AND A WIFE TO 
LIEUTENANT HENRY BOND WHO IS 
CURRENTLY DEPLOYED AND SERVING 
OUR NATION IN THE UNITED STATES 
NAVY.
AND OUR YOUNGEST, A RECENT LAW 
SCHOOL GRAD, OUR DAUGHTER AUDRY

OTHER AMERICANS HAD TO DELAY 
THEIR WEDDING THIS SUMMER, BUT 
WE CAN'T WAIT FOR DAN TO BE A 
PART OF OUR FAMILY.
IN ADDITION, MY WIFE AND KIDS, 
THE PERSON WHO SHAPED MY LIFE 
THE MOST IS ALSO WITH US 
TONIGHT, MY MOM, NANCY.
SHE IS THE DAUGHTER OF AN IRISH 
IMMIGRANT.
87 YEARS YOUNG.
AND MOM FOLLOWS POLITICS VERY 
CLOSELY.
AND THE TRUTH BE TOLD, SOMETIMES
I THINK I'M ACTUALLY HER SECOND 
FAVORITE CANDIDATE ON THE 
TRUMP/PENCE TICKET.
THANK YOU, MOM.
I LOVE YOU.
OVER THE PAST FOUR YEARS, I HAVE
HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO WORK 
CLOSELY WITH OUR PRESIDENT.
I HAVE SEEN HIM WHEN THE CAMERAS
ARE OFF.
AMERICANS SEE PRESIDENT TRUMP IN
LOTS OF DIFFERENT WAYS.
BUT THERE IS NO DOUBT HOW 
PRESIDENT TRUMP SEES AMERICA.
HE SEES AMERICA FOR WHAT IT IS, 
A NATION THAT HAS DONE MORE GOOD
IN THIS WORLD THAN ANY OTHER, A 
NATION THAT DESERVES FAR MORE 
GRATITUDE THAN GRIEVANCE.
AND IF YOU WANT A PRESIDENT WHO 
FALLS SILENT WHEN OUR HERITAGE 
IS DEMEANED OR INSULTED, HE'S 
NOT YOUR MAN.
[ APPLAUSE ]
>> NOW, WE CAME BY VERY 
DIFFERENT ROUTES TO THIS 
PARTNERSHIP.
AND SOME PEOPLE THINK WE'RE A 
LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
BUT, YOU KNOW, I HAVE LEARNED A 
FEW THINGS WATCHING HIM, 
WATCHING HIM DEAL WITH ALL THAT 
WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH OVER THE 
PAST FOUR YEARS.
HE DOES THINGS IN HIS OWN WAY, 
ON HIS OWN TERMS.
NOT MUCH GETS PASSED HIM.
AND WHEN HE HAS AN OPINION, HE'S
LIABLE TO SHARE IT.
HE CERTAINLY KEPT THINGS 
INTERESTING.
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, PRESIDENT 
DONALD TRUMP HAS KEPT HIS WORD 
TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
[ APPLAUSE ]
>> IN A CITY KNOWN FOR TALKERS, 
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS A DOER.
AND FEW PRESIDENTS HAVE BROUGHT 
MORE INDEPENDENCE, ENERGY OR 
DETERMINATION TO THAT OFFICE.
FOUR YEARS AGO WE INHERITED A 
MILITARY HALLOWED OUT BY 
DEVASTATING BUDGET CUTS, AN 
ECONOMY BREAKING OUT.
ISIS CONTROLLED A LAND MASS 
TWICE THE SIZE OF PENNSYLVANIA, 
AND WE WITNESSED A STEADY 
ASSAULT ON OUR MOST CHERISHED 
VALUES, FREEDOM OF RELIGION AND 
THE RIGHT TO LIFE.
THAT'S WHEN PRESIDENT DONALD 
TRUMP STEPPED IN, AND FROM DAY 
ONE HE KEPT HIS WORD.
WE REBUILT OUR MILITARY.
THIS PRESIDENT SIGNED THE 
LARGEST INCREASE IN OUR NATIONAL
DEFENSE SINCE THE DAYS OF RONALD
REAGAN AND CREATED THE FIRST NEW
BRANCH OF OUR ARMED FORCES IN 70
YEARS, THE UNITED STATES SPACE 
FORCE AND WITH THAT RENEWED 
ENERGY, WE ALSO RETURNED 
AMERICAN ASTRONAUTS TO SPACE ON 
AN AMERICAN ROCKET FOR THE FIRST
TIME IN NEARLY TEN YEARS.
AND AFTER YEARS OF SCANDAL THAT 
ROBBED OUR VETERANS OF THE CARE 
THAT YOU EARNED IN THE UNIFORM 
OF THE UNITED STATES PRESIDENT 
TRUMP KEPT HIS WORD AGAIN.
WE REFORMED THE VA AND VETERANS 
CHOICE IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR 
EVERY VETERAN IN AMERICA.
[ APPLAUSE ]
OUR ARMED FORCES AND VETERANS 
FILL THIS LAND OF HEROES AND 
MANY JOIN US TONIGHT IN THIS 
HISTORIC FORM.
TONIGHT WE HAVE AMONG US FOUR 
RECIPIENTS OF THE MEDAL OF 
HONOR.
[ APPLAUSE ]
SIX RECIPIENTS OF THE PURPLE 
HEART.
[ APPLAUSE ]
A GOLD STAR MOTHER OF A GALLANT 
NAVY SEAL.
AND WOUNDED WARRIORS FROM 
SOLDIERS STRONG, A GROUP THAT 
SERVES OUR VETERANS EVERY DAY.
WE ARE HONORED BY YOUR PRESENCE 
AND WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR 
SERVICE.
[ APPLAUSE ]
>> WITH HEROES JUST LIKE THESE, 
WE DEFEND THIS NATION EVERY DAY.
BUT UNDER THIS COMMANDER IN 
CHIEF, WE HAVE TAKEN THE FIGHT 
TO RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISTS ON
THEIR SOIL.
LAST YEAR AMERICAN ARMED FORCES 
TOOK THE LAST INCH OF ISIS 
TERRITORY, CRUSHED THEIR 
CALIPHATE AND TOOK DOWN THEIR 
LEADER WITHOUT ONE AMERICAN 
CASUALTY.
[ APPLAUSE ]
AND I WAS THERE.
WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP GAVE THE 
ORDER TO TAKE OUT THE WORLD'S 
MOST DANGEROUS TERRORIST, IRAN'S
TOP GENERAL WILL NEVER HARM 
ANOTHER AMERICAN BECAUSE 
SOLOMANI IS GONE.
MY FELLOW AMERICANS YOU DESERVE 
TO KNOW JOE BIDEN CRITICIZED 
PRESIDENT TRUMP FOLLOWING THOSE 
DECISIONS, DECISIONS TO RID THE 
WORLD OF TWO TERRORIST LEADERS.
BUT IT'S NOT SURPRISING BECAUSE 
HISTORY RECORDS THAT JOE BIDEN 
EVEN OPPOSED THE OPERATION THAT 
TOOK DOWN OSAMA BIN LADEN.
IT IS NO WONDER THAT THE 
SECRETARY OF DEFENSE UNDER THE 
OBAMA/BIDEN ADMINISTRATION ONCE 
SAID THAT JOE BIDEN HAS BEEN, 
AND I QUOTE, WRONG ON NEARLY 
EVERY MAJOR FOREIGN POLICY AND 
NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE OVER THE
PAST FOUR DECADES.
SO WE HAVE STOOD UP TO OUR 
ENEMIES, AND WE HAVE STOOD WITH 
OUR ALLIES.
LIKE WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP KEPT 
HIS WORD AND MOVED THE AMERICAN 
EMBASSY TO JERUSALEM, THE 
CAPITAL OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL, 
SETTING THE STAGE FOR THE FIRST 
ARAB COUNTRY TO RECOGNIZE ISRAEL
IN 26 YEARS.
CLOSER TO HOME WE APPOINTED MORE
THAN 200 CONSERVATIVE JUDGES TO 
OUR FEDERAL COURTS, WE SUPPORTED
THE RIGHT TO LIFE AND INCLUDING 
THE SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHT TO 
KEEP AND BEAR ARMS.
AND WHEN IT CAME TO THE ECONOMY,
PRESIDENT TRUMP KEPT HIS WORD 
AND THEN SOME.
WE PASSED THE LARGEST TAX CUT 
AND REFORM IN AMERICAN HISTORY.
WE ROLLED BACK MORE FEDERAL RED 
TAPE THAN ANY ADMINISTRATION 
EVER HAD.
WE UNLEASHED AMERICAN ENERGY AND
FOUGHT FOR FREE AND FAIR TRADE.
AND IN OUR FIRST THREE YEARS 
BUSINESSES LARGE AND SMALL 
CREATED MORE THAN SEVEN MILLION 
GOOD PAYING JOBS, INCLUDING 
500,000 MANUFACTURING JOBS ALL 
ACROSS AMERICA.
[ APPLAUSE ]
>> OUR COUNTRY BECAME THE NET 
EXPORTER FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 
70 YEARS.
UNEMPLOYMENT RATES FOR 
AFRICAN-AMERICANS AND HISPANIC 
AMERICANS BECAME AT THE LOWEST 
LEVEL EVER RECORDED.
AND I'M PROUD TO REPORT THAT 
UNDER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP WE 
ACHIEVED THE LOWEST UNEMPLOYMENT
RATE FOR WOMEN IN 65 YEARS.
AND MORE AMERICANS WORKING THAN 
EVER BEFORE.
IN OUR FIRST THREE YEARS, WE 
BUILT THE GREATEST ECONOMY IN 
THE WORLD.
WE MADE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
AND THEN THE CORONAVIRUS STRUCK 
FROM CHINA.
BEFORE THE FIRST CASE OF THE 
CORONAVIRUS SPREAD WITHIN THE 
UNITED STATES, THE PRESIDENT 
TOOK UNPRECEDENTED ACTION AND 
SUSPENDED ALL TRAVEL FROM CHINA,
THE SECOND LARGEST ECONOMY IN 
THE WORLD.
NOW, THAT ACTION SAVED UNTOLD 
AMERICAN LIVES, AND I CAN TELL 
YOU FIRSTHAND, IT BOUGHT US 
INVALUABLE TIME TO LAUNCH THE 
GREATEST NATIONAL MOBILIZATION 
SINCE WORLD WAR II.
PRESIDENT TRUMP MARSHALLED THE 
FULL RESOURCES OF OUR FEDERAL 
GOVERNMENT FROM THE OUT SET AND 
FORGE A SEAMLESS PARTNERSHIP 
WITH GOVERNORS ACROSS AMERICA IN
BOTH POLITICAL PARTIES.
WE PARTNERED WITH PRIVATE 
INDUSTRY TO REINVENT TESTING AND
PRODUCE SUPPLIES THAT WERE 
DISTRIBUTED TO HOSPITALS AROUND 
THE LAND.
TODAY WE'RE CONDUCTING MORE THAN
800,000 TESTS A DAY, AND WE HAVE
COORDINATED THE DELIVERY OF 
BILLIONS OF PIECES OF PERSONAL 
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR OUR 
AMAZING DOCTORS, NURSES AND 
HEALTH CARE WORKERS.
[ APPLAUSE ]
WE SAW THE MANUFACTURE OF 
100,000 VENTILATORS IN 100 DAYS.
AND NO ONE WHO REQUIRED A 
VENTILATOR WAS EVER DENIED A 
VENTILATOR IN THE UNITED STATES.
[ APPLAUSE ]
WE BUILT HOSPITALS, SURGED 
PERSONNEL AND ENACTED A RESCUE 
PACKAGE THAT SAVED 50 MILLION 
AMERICAN  WE SPEAK, WE'RE DEVEL 
GROWING NUMBER OF TREATMENTS 
KNOWN AS THERAPEUTICS, INCLUDING
CONVELESCENT PLASMA, THAT ARE 
SAVING LIVES ALL ACROSS AMERICA.
NOW, LAST WEEK JOE BIDEN SAID 
THAT NO MIRACLE IS COMING.
WHAT JOE DOESN'T SEEM TO 
UNDERSTAND IS THAT AMERICA IS A 
NATION OF MIRACLES.
I'M PROUD TO REPORT WE'RE ON 
TRACK TO HAVE THE WORLD'S FIRST 
SAFE, EFFECTIVE CORONAVIRUS 
VACCINE BY THE END OF THIS YEAR.
[ APPLAUSE ]
AFTER ALL THE SACRIFICE IN THIS 
YEAR LIKE NO OTHER, ALL THE 
HARDSHIP, WE ARE FINDING OUR WAY
FORWARD AGAIN.
BUT TONIGHT OUR HEARTS ARE WITH 
ALL THE FAMILIES WHO HAVE LOST 
LOVED ONES VAN FAMILY MEMBERS 
STILL STRUGGLING WITH SERIOUS 
ILLNESS.
IN THIS COUNTRY WE MOURN WITH 
THOSE WHO MOURN.
WE GRIEVE WITH THOSE WHO GRIEVE.
AND THIS NIGHT I KNOW THAT 
MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WILL PAUSE
AND PRAY FOR GOD'S COMFORT FOR 
EACH OF YOU.
YOU KNOW, OUR COUNTRY DOESN'T 
GET THROUGH SUCH A TIME UNLESS 
ITS PEOPLE FIND STRENGTH WITHIN.
THE RESPONSE OF DOCTORS, NURSES,
FIRST RESPONDERS, FARMERS, 
FACTORY WORKERS, TRUCKERS, AND 
EVERY DAY AMERICANS WHO PUT THE 
HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THEIR 
NEIGHBORS FIRST HAS BEEN NOTHING
SHORT OF HEROIC.
[ APPLAUSE ]
VERONICA SAYES PUT ON HER SCRUBS
EVERY DAY, DAY IN AND DAY OUT, 
WENT TO WORK IN ONE OF NEW YORK 
CITY'S BUSIEST HOSPITALS.
SHE STAYED ON THE JOB, PUT IN 
THE LONG HOURS UNTIL IT WAS 
DONE, AND THEN GOT BACK IN HER 
NEIGHBORHOOD AND HELPED 
NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS 
STRUGGLING.
HER BROTHER WILLIAM IS A NEW 
YORK CITY FIREFIGHTER, AND 
THEY'RE BOTH EMBLEMATIC OF 
HEROES ALL ACROSS THIS COUNTRY.
THEY'RE WITH US TONIGHT, AND I 
SAY TO THEM AND TO ALL OF YOU, 
YOU HAVE EARNED THE ADMIRATION 
OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND WE 
WILL ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR
SERVICE AND CARE.
[ APPLAUSE ]
THANKS TO THE COURAGE AND 
COMPASSION OF THE AMERICAN 
PEOPLE, WE'RE SLOWING THE 
SPREAD.
WE'RE PROTECTING THE VULNERABLE.
WE'RE SAVING LIVES.
WE'RE OPENING UP AMERICA AGAIN.
BECAUSE OF THE STRONG FOUNDATION
THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP POURED IN 
OUR FIRST THREE YEARS, WE'VE 
ALREADY GAINED BACK 9.3 MILLION 
JOBS IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS 
ALONE.
AND WE'RE NOT JUST OPENING UP 
AMERICA AGAIN.
WE'RE OPENING UP AMERICA'S 
SCHOOLS.
AND I'M PROUD TO REPORT THAT MY 
WIFE KAREN, THAT SCHOOL TEACHER 
I'VE BEEN PLAYER ID TO, WILL BE 
RETURNING TO HER CLASSROOM NEXT 
WEEK.
SO TO ALL OF OUR HEROIC TEACHERS
AND FACULTY AND STAFF, THANK YOU
FOR BEING THERE FOR OUR KIDS.
WE'RE GOING TO STAY WITH YOU 
EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.
IN THE DAYS AHEAD AS WE OPEN UP 
AMERICA AGAIN, I PROMISE YOU, 
WE'LL CONTINUE TO PUT THE HEALTH
OF AMERICA FIRST.
AS WE WORK TO BRING THIS ECONOMY
BACK, WE ALL HAVE A ROLE TO 
PLAY.
WE ALL HAVE A CHOICE TO MAKE.
ON NOVEMBER 3rd YOU NEED TO ASK 
YOURSELF, WHO DO YOU TRUST TO 
REBUILD THIS ECONOMY?
A CAREER POLITICIAN WHO PRESIDED
OVER THE SLOWEST ECONOMIC 
RECOVERY SINCE THE GREAT 
DEPRESSION OR A PROVEN LEADER 
WHO CREATED THE GREATEST ECONOMY
IN THE WORLD?
THE CHOICE IS CLEAR.
TO BRING AMERICA ALL THE WAY 
BACK WE NEED FOUR MORE YEARS OF 
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP.
 IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
[ APPLAUSE ]
[ CHANTING ]
FOUR MORE YEARS!
FOUR MORE YEARS!
>> MY FELLOW AMERICANS, WE'RE 
PASSING THROUGH A TIME OF 
TESTING, BUT IN THE MIDST OF 
THIS GLOBAL PANDEMIC JUST AS OUR
NATION HAD BEGUN TO RECOVER, 
WE'VE SEEN VIOLENCE AND CHAOS IN
THE STREETS OF OUR MAJOR CITIES.
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND I WILL 
ALWAYS SUPPORT THE RIGHT OF 
AMERICANS TO PEACEFUL PROTEST.
BUT RIOTING AND LOOTING IS NOT 
PEACEFUL PROTEST.
TEARING DOWN STATUTES IS NOT 
FREE SPEECH.
THOSE WHO DO SO WILL BE 
PROSECUTED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
OF THE LAW.
[ APPLAUSE ]
LAST WEEK JOE BIDEN DIDN'T SAY 
ONE WORD ABOUT THE VIOLENCE AND 
CHAOS ENGULFING CITIES ACROSS 
THIS COUNTRY, SO LET ME BE 
CLEAR.
THE VIOLENCE MUST STOP.
WHETHER IN MINNEAPOLIS, 
PORTLAND, OR KENOSHA.
TOO MANY HEROES HAVE DIED 
DEFENDING OUR FREEDOM TO SEE 
AMERICANS STRIKE EACH OTHER 
DOWN.
WE WILL HAVE LAW AND ORDER ON 
THE STREETS OF THIS COUNTRY 
FOREVERY AMERICAN OF EVERY RACE 
AND CREED AND COLOR.
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND I KNOW THAT 
THE MEN AND WOMEN THAT PUT ON 
THE UNIFORM OF LAW ENFORCEMENT 
ARE THE BEST OF US.
EVERY DAY WHEN THEY WALK OUT 
THAT DOOR THEY CONSIDER OUR 
LIVES MORE IMPORTANT THAN THEIR 
OWN.
PEOPLE LIKE DAVE PATRICK 
UNDERWOOD, AN OFFICER IN THE 
DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND 
SECURITY'S FEDERAL PROTECTIVE 
SERVICE, WHO WAS SHOT AND KILLED
DURING THE RIOTS IN OAKLAND, 
CALIFORNIA.
DAVE'S HEROISM IS EMBLEMATIC OF 
THE HEROES THAT SERVE IN BLUE 
EVERY DAY.
AND WE'RE PRIVILEGED TONIGHT TO 
BE JOINED BY HIS SISTER ANGELA.
ANGELA, WE SAY TO YOU, WE GRIEVE
WITH YOUR FAMILY.
AND AMERICA WILL NEVER FORGET OR
FAIL TO HONOR OFFICER DAVE 
PATRICK UNDERWOOD.
[ APPLAUSE ]
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE KNOW WE 
DON'T HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN 
SUPPORTING LAW ENFORCEMENT AND 
STANDING WITH OUR 
AFRICAN-AMERICAN NEIGHBORS TO 
IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF THEIR 
LIVES, EDUCATION, JOBS, AND 
SAFETY.
AND FROM THE FIRST DAYS OF THIS 
ADMINISTRATION, WE'VE DONE BOTH 
AND WE WILL KEEP SUPPORTING LAW 
ENFORCEMENT AND KEEP SUPPORTING 
OUR AFRICAN-AMERICAN AND 
MINORITY COMMUNITIES ACROSS THIS
LAND FOR FOUR MORE YEARS.
JOE BIDEN SAYS THAT AMERICA IS 
SYSTEMICALLY RACIST AND THAT LAW
ENFORCEMENT IN AMERICA HAS, AND 
I QUOTE, AN IMPLICIT BIAS.
 AGAINST MINORITIES.
WHEN ASKED WHETHER HE'D SUPPORT 
CUTTING FUNDING TO LAW 
ENFORCEMENT JOE BIDEN REPLIED, 
YES.
ABSOLUTELY.
JOE BIDEN WOULD DOUBLE DOWN ON 
THE VERY POLICIES THAT ARE 
LEADING TO VIOLENCE IN AMERICA'S
CITIES.
THE HARD TRUTH IS, YOU WON'T BE 
SAFE IN JOE BIDEN'S AMERICA.
AND UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP WE 
WILL ALWAYS STAND WITH THOSE WHO
STAND ON THE THIN, BLUE LINE, 
AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO DEFUND 
THE POLICE, NOT NOW, NOT EVER.
[ APPLAUSE ]
MY FELLOW AMERICANS, WE'RE 
PASSING THROUGH A TIME OF 
TESTING.
BUT SOON WE WILL COME TO A TIME 
FOR CHOOSING.
JOE BIDEN HAS REFERRED TO 
HIMSELF AS A TRANSITION 
CANDIDATE, AND MANY WERE ASKING 
TRANSITION TO WHAT?
LAST WEEK DEMOCRATS DIDN'T TALK 
VERY MUCH ABOUT THEIR AGENDA.
IF I WERE THEM, I WOULDN'T 
EITHER.
I MEAN, BERNIE SANDERS DID TELL 
HIS FOLLOWERS THAT JOE BIDEN 
WOULD BE THE MOST LIBERAL 
PRESIDENT IN MODERN TIMES.
IN FACT, HE SAID, AND I QUOTE, 
THAT MANY OF THE IDEAS HE FOUGHT
FOR THAT JUST A FEW YEARS AGO 
WERE CONSIDERED RADICAL ARE NOW 
MAIN STREAM IN THE DEMOCRATIC 
PARTY.
AT THE ROOT OF THEIR AGENDA IS 
THE BELIEF THAT AMERICA IS 
DRIVEN BY ENVY NOT ASPIRATION, 
THAT MILLIONS OF AMERICANS 
HARBOR ILL WILL TOWARD OUR 
NEIGHBORS INSTEAD OF LOVING OUR 
NEIGHBORS AS OURSELVES.
THE RADICAL LEFT BELIEVES THAT 
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MUST BE 
INVOLVED IN EVERY ASPECT OF OUR 
LIVES TO CORRECT THOSE AMERICAN 
WRONGS.
THEY BELIEVE THE FEDERAL 
GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO DICTATE HOW 
AMERICANS LIVE, HOW WE SHOULD 
WORK.
HOW WE SHOULD RAISE OUR 
CHILDREN.
AND IN THE PROCESS DEPRIVE OUR 
PEOPLE OF FREEDOM, PROSPERITY, 
AND SECURITY.
THEIR AGENDA IS BASED ON 
GOVERNMENT CONTROL.
OUR AGENDA IS BASED ON FREEDOM.
WHERE PRESIDENT TRUMP CUT TAXES,
JOE BIDEN WANTS TO RAISE TAXES 
BY NEARLY $4 TRILLION.
WHERE THIS PRESIDENT ACHIEVED 
ENERGY INDEPENDENCE FOR THE 
UNITED STATES, JOE BIDEN WOULD 
ABOLISH FOSSIL FUELS AND 
FRACKING AND IMPOSE A REGIME OF 
CLIMATE CHANGE REGULATIONS THAT 
WOULD DRASTICALLY INCREASE THE 
COST OF LIVING FOR WORKING 
FAMILIES.
WHERE WE FOUGHT FOR FREE AND 
FAIR TRADE, AND THIS PRESIDENT 
STOOD UP TO CHINA AND ENDED THE 
ERA OF ECONOMIC SURRENDER, JOE 
BIDEN HAS BEEN A CHEERLEADER FOR
COMMUNIST CHINA.
HE WANTS TO REPEAL ALL THE 
TARIFFS THAT ARE LEVELING THE 
PLAYING FIELD FOR AMERICAN 
WORKERS.
HE ACTUALLY CRITICIZED PRESIDENT
TRUMP FOR SUSPEND GO ALL TRAVEL 
TO CHINA AT THE OUTSET OF THIS 
PANDEMIC.
JOE BIDEN IS FOR OPEN BORDERS, 
SANCTUARY CITIES, FREE LAWYERS 
AND HEALTH CARE FOR ILLEGAL 
IMMIGRANTS.
PRESIDENT TRUMP SECURED OUR 
BORDER AND BUILT NEARLY 300 
MILES OF THAT BORDER WALL.
[ APPLAUSE ]
JOE BIDEN WANTS TO END SCHOOL 
CHOICE.
PRESIDENT TRUMP BELIEVES THAT 
EVERY PARENT SHOULD HAVE THE 
RIGHT TO CHOOSE WHERE THEIR 
CHILDREN GO TO SCHOOL REGARDLESS
OF THEIR INCOME OR AREA CODE.
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS STOOD 
WITHOUT APOLOGY FOR THE SANCTITY
OF HUMAN LIFE EVERY DAY OF THIS 
ADMINISTRATION.
JOE BIDEN SUPPORTS TAXPAYER 
FUNDING OF ABORTION RIGHT UP TO 
THE MOMENT OF BIRTH.
WHEN YOU CONSIDER THEIR AGENDA, 
IT'S CLEAR JOE BIDEN WOULD BE 
NOTHING MORE THAN A TROJAN HORSE
FOR THE RADICAL LEFT.
THE CHOICE IN THIS ELECTION HAS 
NEVER BEEN CLEARER, AND THE 
STAKES HAVE NEVER BEEN HIGHER.
LAST WEEK JOE BIDEN SAID 
DEMOCRACY IS ON THE BALLOT.
AND THE TRUTH IS OUR ECONOMIC 
RECOVERY IS ON THE BALLOT.
LAW AND ORDER ARE ON THE BALLOT.
BUT SO ARE THINGS FAR MORE 
FUNDAMENTAL AND FOUNDATIONAL TO 
OUR COUNTRY.
IN THIS ELECTION IT'S NOT SO 
MUCH WHETHER AMERICA WILL BE 
MORE CONSERVATIVE OR MORE 
LIBERAL.
MORE REPUBLICAN OR MORE 
DEMOCRAT.
THE CHOICE IN THIS ELECTION IS 
WHETHER AMERICA REMAINS AMERICA.
IT'S WHETHER WE WILL LEAVE TO 
OUR CHILDREN AND OUR 
GRANDCHILDREN A COUNTRY GROUNDED
IN OUR HIGHEST IDEALS OF 
FREEDOM, FREE MARKETS, AND THE 
UNALIENABLE RIGHT TO LIFE AND 
LIBERTY OR WHETHER WE WILL LEAVE
THEM A COUNTRY THAT IS 
FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORMED INTO 
SOMETHING ELSE.
WE STAND AT A CROSSROADS, 
AMERICA.
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS SET OUR 
NATION ON A PATH OF FREEDOM AND 
OPPORTUNITY.
JOE BIDEN WOULD SET AMERICA ON A
PATH OF SOCIALISM AND DECLINE.
BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO LET IT 
HAPPEN.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP BELIEVES 
IN AMERICA AND IN THE GOODNESS 
OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
THE BOUNDLESS POTENTIAL OF EVERY
AMERICAN TO LIVE OUT THEIR 
DREAMS IN FREEDOM EVERY DAY.
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS BEEN 
FIGHTING TO PROTECT THE PROMISE 
OF AMERICA.
EVERY DAY OUR PRESIDENT HAS BEEN
FIGHTING TO EXPAND THE REACH OF 
TH AMERICAN DREAM.
EVERY DAY PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP
HAS BEEN FIGHTING FOR YOU.
AND NOW IT'S OUR TURN TO FIGHT 
FOR HIM.
ON THIS NIGHT IN THE COMPANY OF 
HEROES, I'M DEEPLY GRATEFUL.
DEEPLY GRATEFUL FOR THE 
PRIVILEGE OF SERVING AS VICE 
PRESIDENT OF THIS GREAT NATION.
AND TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO 
SERVE AGAIN.
I PRAY TO BE WORTHY OF IT, AND I
WILL GIVE THAT DUTY ALL THAT'S 
IN ME.
IN THE YEAR 2020, THE AMERICAN 
PEOPLE HAVE HAD MORE THAN OUR 
SHARE OF CHALLENGES, BUT 
THANKFULLY WE HAVE A PRESIDENT 
WITH THE TOUGHNESS, ENERGY, AND 
RESOLVE TO SEE US THROUGH.
NOW, THOSE TRAITS ACTUALLY RUN 
IN OUR NATIONAL CHARACTER.
AS THE INVADING FORCE LEARNED ON
APPROACH TO THIS FORT IN 
SEPTEMBER OF 1814, AGAINST 
FIERCE AND SUSTAINED 
BOMBARDMENT, OUR YOUNG COUNTRY 
WAS DEFENDED BY HEROES.
NOT SO DIFFERENT FROM THOSE WHO 
ARE WITH US TONIGHT.
THE ENEMY WAS COUNTING ON THEM 
TO QUIT.
BUT THEY NEVER DID.
FORT McHENRY HELD, AND WHEN 
MORNING CAME OUR FLAG WAS STILL 
HERE.
MY FELLOW AMERICANS, WE'RE GOING
THROUGH A TIME OF TESTING.
BUT IF YOU LOOK THROUGH THE FOG 
OF THESE CHALLENGING TIMES, YOU 
WILL SEE OUR FLAG IS STILL THERE
TODAY.
THAT STAR SPANGLED BANNER STILL 
WAVES OVER THE LAND OF THE FREE 
AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE.
[ APPLAUSE ]
FROM THESE HALLOWED GROUNDS 
AMERICAN PATRIOTS IN GENERATIONS
GONE BY DID THEIR PART TO DEFEND
FREEDOM.
NOW IT'S OUR TURN.
SO LET'S RUN THE RACE MARKED OUT
FOR US.
LET'S FIX OUR EYES ON OLD GLORY 
AND ALL SHE REPRESENTS.
LET'S FIX OUR EYES ON THIS LAND 
OF HEROES.
AND LET THEIR COURAGE INSPIRE.
LET'S FIX OUR EYES ON THE AUTHOR
AND PERFECTER OF OUR FAITH AND 
OUR FREEDOM AND NEVER FORGET 
THAT WHERE THE SPIRIT OF THE 
LORD IS, THERE IS FREEDOM.
THAT MEANS FREEDOM ALWAYS WINS.
[ APPLAUSE ]
MY FELLOW AMERICANS, THANK YOU 
FOR THE HONOR OF ADDRESSING YOU 
TONIGHT AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO 
RUN AND SERVE AGAIN AS YOUR VICE
PRESIDENT.
I LEAVE HERE TODAY INSPIRED, AND
discovering that feeling has
never been more effortless.
I LEAVE HERE TODAY MORE 
CONVINCED THAN EVER THAT WE WILL
DO IN OUR TIME AS AMERICANS HAVE
DONE THROUGHOUT OUR LONG AND 
STORIED PAST.
WE WILL DEFEND OUR FREEDOM AND 
OUR WAY OF LIFE.
WE WILL RE-ELECT OUR PRESIDENT 
AND PRINCIPLED REPUBLICAN 
LEADERS ACROSS THE LAND.
AND WITH PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP 
IN THE WHITE HOUSE FOR FOUR MORE
YEARS, AND WITH GOD'S HELP, WE 
WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, 
AGAIN.
[ APPLAUSE ]
THANK YOU.
GOD BLESS YOU.
GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF 
AMERICA.
[ APPLAUSE ]
>> BRIAN WILLIAMS WITH YOU HERE 
10 MINUTES AFTER 11:00 ON THE 
EAST COAST.

BOSS THE PRESIDENT IN ATTENDA
