[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
DELEGATES, WELCOME TO THE 2020
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION.
OFFERING TODAY'S INVITATION, --
INVOCATION, PLEASE WELCOME FROM
VERMONT, J SHEPPARD.
>> THANK YOU, RONNA.
MY NAME IS JAY AND I AM A
REPUBLICAN.
I AM ALSO A CATHOLIC DONALD
TRUMP REPUBLICAN.
BY THE GRACE OF GOD, I AM AN
AMERICAN.
SO LET US PRAY.
THANK YOU, O LORD, FOR ALL THE
GIFTS YOU PROVIDE US, NOT
BECAUSE WE DESERVE THEM, BUT
SOLELY THROUGH YOUR GRACE AND
MERCY, LET US ACKNOWLEDGE THE
MANY GIFTS THAT GOD HAS BESTOWED
UPON US, STARTING WITH A
PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT
THAT REFLECT THE VALUES OF OUR
FOUNDING FATHERS.
AND ARE WILLING TO FIGHT FOR
THOSE VALUES, STARTING WITH
LIFE, KNOWING THAT ALL LIFE IS
PRECIOUS, FROM CONCEPTION TO
NATURAL DEATH.
THERE IS NO CHOICE TO FIGHT FOR
THE UNBORN.
FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE TRUE TO
OUR CATHOLIC FAITH, WE PRAY FOR
AN END FOR THE INTRINSIC EVIL
THAT IS ABORTION.
GIVE US THE STRENGTH TO FIGHT
FOR OUR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AS OUR
PRESIDENT DOES, AND INSTILL IN
US A SPIRIT AND COMMITMENT TO
STAND WITH THE POOR IN A
CONTINUED FIGHT FOR RELIGIOUS
FREEDOM.
WE PRAY IN THANKSGIVING FOR THE
MEMBERS OF OUR ARMED FORCES AND
THEIR FAMILIES WHO SACRIFICE
GREATLY TO ENSURE OUR SACRED
FREEDOM.
THAT WE ALL TOO OFTEN TAKE FOR
GRANTED SO THAT WE CAN LIVE IN
THE LAND OF THE FREE.
AND, OH LORD, WE WILL BE FOREVER
RATE FOR THAT YOU HAVE BLESSED
THIS NATION WITH GREAT MEN AND
WOMEN -- GRATEFUL THAT YOU HAVE
BLESSED THIS NATION WITH GREAT
MEN AND WOMEN.
WE WILL NOT FORGET THAT WE
CANNOT BE A GREAT NATION AND
SERVE YOU WITHOUT THE RULE OF
LAW.
WE ARE ALL SINNERS AND NONE OF
US ARE PERFECT.
WE RECOGNIZE THAT FAITH IS A
JOURNEY.
IT IS NOT WHERE WE START THAT
JOURNEY, BUT WHERE WE ARE NOW
AND WHERE WE STRIVE TO BE.
HELP US ALL TO FOLLOW PRESIDENT
TRUMP, WHOSE ACTIONS SHOW HE IS
ON THE JOURNEY TO YOU, LORD.
THAT IS NOT BE DECEIVED BY THOSE
WHO WERE ONCE CLOSE TO YOU BUT
HAVE TURNED AWAY IN FAVOR OF
EMBRACING POLITICAL IDEOLOGY YET
CLAIMING CATHOLIC BELIEFS AND
WORDS WHILE THEIR ACTIONS TURN
THEM AND THEIR FOLLOWERS AWAY
FROM YOU.
WE PRAY THAT YOU WOULD CHANGE
THEIR HEARTS AND BRING THEM BACK
TO YOU.
YOU HAVE CHOSEN US, O LORD, YES,
ALL OF US GATHERED HERE TODAY,
TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE
WORLD.
MOST OF ALL, HELP US RECOGNIZE
THAT WE ARE HERE THROUGH THE
MERCY AND GRACE OF YOU, OUR
CREATOR, AND THAT AS AMERICANS
WE ARE BLESSED AND SHOULD BE
THANKFUL EVERY DAY FOR THE GIFTS
YOU HAVE PROVIDED US.
PLEASE, LORD, CONTINUE TO GUIDE
OUR PARTY TO THE LIGHT.
WE PRAY THAT THOSE FROM THE
OTHER PARTY WILL TURN AWAY FROM
THE DARKNESS AND JOIN US IN OUR
MARCH 2 YOU, OUR LORD AND
SAVIOR.
IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE
SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT, AMEN.
>> AMEN.

THE CHAIR CALLS ON THE DELICATE
FROM ALASKA, PETER GOLDBERG, TO
LEAD US IN THE PLEDGE OF
ALLEGIANCE.
-- ON THE DELEGATE FROM ALASKA,
PETER GOLDBERG, TO LEAD US IN
THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.
PETER: THE WEEK BEFORE LAST, IN
THE DEMOCRAT NATIONAL
CONVENTION, WE KNOW THAT AT
LEAST TWO CAUCUSES REMOVED TWO
WORDS, "UNDER GOD," FROM THE
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.
WE KNOW, TOO, THAT IN A PREVIOUS
DEMOCRAT CONVENTION, A RECENT
ONE, THE WORD "GOD" WAS ALMOST
TOTALLY REMOVED FROM THE
PLATFORM.
THAT COULD NOT AND WOULD NOT
HAPPEN HERE.
[APPLAUSE]
WE KNOW AS REPUBLICANS THAT
AMERICA MUST PUT ITS FULL TRUST
AND FAITH IN THAT GOD.
IN ORDER TO DO SO, SO THAT EVERY
AMERICAN, EVERY AMERICAN CITIZEN
, CAN HAVE THE BLESSINGS OF
SECURITY, THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR
PROSPERITY, AND THE ABILITY TO
ENJOY ALL OF THOSE FREEDOMS THAT
ARE ENSHRINED IN THAT DIVINELY
INSPIRED DOCUMENT, THE
CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA.
SO, AS YOU JOIN ME IN THE PLEDGE
AND RENDER THE APPROPRIATE
SALUTE, I ASK YOU TO REMEMBER
THAT THERE IS NO COMMA BEFORE
THE WORDS "UNDER GOD I PLEDGE
ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND
THE TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT
STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD,
INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND
JUSTICE FOR ALL.
THANK YOU.
RONNA: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
WELCOME TO CHARLOTTE, NORTH
CAROLINA, FOR THE 2020
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
I WENT TO GIVE AN ENORMOUS
THANKS TO OUR HOST, ESPECIALLY
CHARLOTTE MAYOR VIA LILES.
WE ARE OBVIOUSLY DISAPPOINTED WE
COULD NOT HOLD THIS EVENT IN THE
SAME WAY WE ORIGINALLY PLANNED,
BUT YOU AND THE CITY AND
MECKLENBURG COUNTY HAVE BEEN
GREAT PARTNERS AND WE ARE STILL
SO PLEASED WE WERE ABLE TO
RENOMINATE THE PRESIDENT AND
VICE PRESIDENT IN THE QUEEN
CITY.
THANK YOU, MAYOR.
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK
MARCIA LEE KELLY, THE PRESIDENT
AND CEO OF THE 2020 NATIONAL
CONVENTION, AND HER ENTIRE TEAM.
THEY HAVE WORKED SO HARD TO MAKE
THIS EVENT HAPPEN.
NEXT I WOULD LIKE TO THANK TONY
AND A SHOW, THE CHAIR OF THE RNC
COMMITTEE ON ARRANGEMENT.
AND THE MEMBERS WHO SERVED ON
THE COMMITTEE ON ARRANGEMENT.
TONY HAS LEADERSHIP THAT WAS
INDISPENSABLE ON THE COMMITTEE.
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL OF OUR
DELEGATES, GUESTS WHO ARE NOT
WITH US TODAY.
LET US GIVE A HUGE THANKS TO
THEM FOR THEIR SERVICE TO OUR
PARTY.
AND THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU.
WE APPRECIATE YOU AND WE ARE
THANKFUL TO BE WITH YOU.
I ALSO WANT TO THANK MY COCHAIR
TOMMY.
YOU KNOW WHAT A GREAT PERSON HE
IS.
THE COMMITTEE TO REELECT THE
PRESIDENT IS SO HAPPY TO HAVE
HIM AS -- SO LUCKY TO HAVE HIM
.
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK MY FAMILY,
PATRICK, ABIGAIL, ED NASH.
THE ORDER OF BUSINESS, -- AND
NASH.
THE ORDER OF BUSINESS, ANY
MOTION OFFERED OR ANY DEMAND FOR
A ROLL CALL HAS MET THE
REQUIREMENTS FOR 37 E NATIONAL
CONVENTION PROCEDURES, THE CHAIR
WOULD LIKE TO PUT THE DELEGATES
ON  NOTICE THA THERE MUST
BE SATISFACTORY WRITTEN SUPPORT
FROM THE NECESSARY NUMBER OF
TASTE REQUIRED BY RULE 37 E
NATIONAL CONVENTION PROCEDURES.
THIS WRITTEN CONFIRMATION IS
CONSISTENT WITH THE MODERN
PRACTICE AND PRECEDENT DURING
PREVIOUS CONVENTIONS WITH
SIMILAR ANNOUNCEMENTS.
THE 37-E NATIONAL CONVENTION
PROCEDURES ADHERE AS FAITHFULLY
AS POSSIBLE TO THE SPIRIT AND
LETTER OF THE RNC RULES THAT
GOVERN PROCEEDINGS FOR A
TRADITIONAL CONVENTION WHOSE
PRINCIPAL PURPOSE IS TO NOMINATE
THE PARTY'S CANDIDATE FOR
PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES.
AND PROVIDE FOR THE CONTINUED
GOVERNANCE OF THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY'S BUSINESS AFFAIRS.
GIVEN THESE CONSIDERATIONS, WE
WILL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW
PRECEDENT REQUIRING THE SAID --
THE NET A SENSORY -- THE
NECESSARY SATISFACTION WRITTEN
SUPPORT MOTION OFFERED OR ANY
DEMAND FOR A ROLL CALL.
ALSO THE CHAIR WOULD LIKE TO
REMIND ALL DELEGATES THAT THE
RULE 37-E NATIONAL CONVENTION
PROCEDURES REQUIRE THAT
NOTIFICATION OF EVIDENCE OF
WRITTEN SUPPORT NECESSARY TO
RESENT A NAME FOR A CANDIDATE
FOR THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT AND
VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES MUST SUBMIT IT TO THE
SECRETARY OF THE CONVENTION NO
LATER THAN ONE HOUR PRIOR TO
PLACING THE NAMES OF THESE
CANDIDATES FOR NOMINATION.
FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT,
WHILE THE RULE 37-E NATIONAL
CONVENTION PROCEDURES UTILIZED
THE EXISTING RNC RULES 26-42 FOR
CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS WHENEVER
FEASIBLE, ANY MODIFICATION TO
THE RULE TO GOVERN RULE 37-E
NATIONAL CONVENTION PROCEDURES
SHALL APPLY ONLY TO THE 20 TONY
RULE, 37-E -- 2020 RULE 37-E
CONVENTION AND CONSTITUTES IN NO
WAY PERMANENT CHANGES TO THE RNC
RULE.
FURTHER, TO DEPART FROM THE
ROLES, THEY DO SO BY OPTION OF
RULE 37-E AND THE LIMITATIONS
IMPOSED BY THAT RULE.
OUT OF NECESSITY, CAUSED BY THE
CURRENT EMERGENCY SITUATION, AND
BASED ON RECOGNITION THAT
SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES TO THE RNC
RULES AND REPUBLICAN PLATFORM
SHOULD BE AVOIDED IN A
NONTRADITIONAL CONVENTION
SETTING WHERE FEWER DELEGATES
WILL BE DELIBERATING AND
PARTICIPATING IN PERSON.
LASTLY, I ALSO WISH TO REMIND
ANY GUESTS THAT PARTICIPATION IN
CONVENTION VISITS IS LIMITED TO
DELEGATES ON THE FLOOR UNLESS
PERMISSION IS GRANTED.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT ANY GUESTS
IN THE GALLERY REMAIN SILENT
DURING THE VOICE VOTES TO ENSURE
THAT THE CHAIR CAN HEAR THE
ACCURATE RESULTS.

DRUMMOND, SECRETARY OF THE

PRESIDENT PENCE IN 70 DAYS FROM
NOW.
NOW, I KNOW -- I NO THAT -- I
KNOW THAT I AM NOT ALONE WHEN I
SAY THAT THE DEMOCRATS
CONVENTION LAST WEEK WAS HARD TO
WATCH.
IT WAS DEPRESSING, DOOM AND
GLOOM NIGHT AFTER NIGHT.
IT WAS SHORT ON SUBSTANCE, BUT
IT WAS A MASTERPIECE IN FICTION
ABOUT PRESIDENT TRUMP'S RECORD
AND WHAT HE HAS ACCOMPLISHED FOR
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
DEMOCRATS WERE TELLING THE TRUTH
ABOUT ONE THING, THOUGH.
WE ARE AT A CROSSROADS AS A
NATION.
I NEVER THOUGHT -- I NEVER
THOUGHT -- I WOULD AGREE WITH
HILLARY CLINTON.
BUT SHE IS RIGHT ABOUT ONE
THING.
WE HAVE TO VOTE LIKE OUR LIVES
AND OUR COUNTRY DEPEND ON IT
THIS NOVEMBER.
JOE BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS ARE
RUNNING ON THE MOST RADICAL
SOCIALIST EXTREME FAR-LEFT
TICKET IN AMERICAN HISTORY.
POLICIES THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN
UNTHINKABLE A DECADE AGO --
BANNING FOSSIL FUELS,
ELIMINATING PRIVATE HEALTH
INSURANCE, TAX FUNDED HEALTH
CARE FOR PEOPLE WHO COME HERE
ILLEGALLY, AND DEFUNDING THE
POLICE, ARE NOW MAINSTREAM IN
THE DEMOCRAT PARTY.
THEIR ARGUMENT FOR JOE BIDEN
BOILS DOWN TO THE FACT THAT THEY
THINK HE IS A NICE GUY.
WELL, LET ME TELL YOU, RAISING
TAXES ON 82% OF THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE IS NOT NICE.
ELIMINATING 10 MILLION GOOD
PAYING OIL AND GAS JOBS AND
RAISING GAS AND HEATING PRICES
ON AMERICAN FAMILIES IS NOT
NICE.
POLICIES THAT FORCE JOBS TO FLEE
OUR COUNTRY OR ALLOW ABORTION UP
UNTIL THE POINT OF BIRTH ARE NOT
NICE.
THE TRUTH IS -- THE TRUTH IS
THERE IS ONLY ONE PERSON, SO IT
IS EMPHASIZED WITH EVERYDAY
AMERICANS AND FIGHTING FOR THEM
EVERY SINGLE DAY OVER THE PAST
FOUR YEARS, AND THAT IS
PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP.
OVER THE NEXT FOUR DAYS,
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND REPUBLICANS
ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT ALL WE
HAVE ACHIEVED THE PAST FOUR
YEARS AND CAST AN ASPIRATIONAL
FORWARD-LOOKING VISION ABOUT
WHAT WE CAN ACHIEVE IN THE NEXT
FOUR.
OUR CONVENTION IS GOING TO
FEATURE HARD-WORKING, EVERYDAY
AMERICANS, NOT HOLLYWOOD
CELEBRITIES, WHO ARE GOING TO
HELP TELL THE GREAT AMERICAN
STORY AND HOW PRESIDENT TRUMP'S
POLICIES HAVE MADE OUR LIVES
BETTER.
POLICIES LIKE CUTTING TAXES AND
ROLLING BACK JOBS.
CREATING OVER 9000 OPPORTUNITIES
IN ALL 50 STATES, AND FIGHTING
FOR SCHOOL CHOICE.
REBUILDING THE MILITARY AND
SECURING OUR SOUTHERN BORDER,
INCLUDING NEARLY 300 MILES OF
BORDER WALL -- YES, HE IS
BUILDING THAT WALL.
NEGOTIATING CLEAR, FAIRER TRADE
DEALS LIKE THE USMCA, APPOINTING
CONSTITUTIONAL CONSERVATIVES TO
THE FEDERAL BENCH, OVER 200 OF
THEM, INCLUDING NEIL GORSUCH AND
BRETT KAVANAUGH.
USHERING IN A NEW ERA OF
AMERICAN ENERGY INDEPENDENCE,
AND TAKING OUT TARIFFS LIKE
AL-BAGHDADI AND GENERAL
SOLEIMANI FULL -- TAKING OUT
TERRORISTS LIKE AL-BAGHDADI AND
GENERAL SOLEIMANI.
BROKERING A LANDMARK PEACE
AGREEMENT BETWEEN ISRAEL AND THE
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES.
FELLOW REPUBLICANS, AS WE
REFLECT ON THE CROSSROADS WE ARE
AT THIS NOVEMBER, WE CAN LOOK TO
THE WORDS OF OUR FIRST
REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT, ABRAHAM
LINCOLN, FOR GUIDANCE.
LINCOLN CAUTIONED THAT HIS
COUNTRYMEN, THAT IF AMERICA WAS
TO SUFFER THE FAMILIAR FATE OF
SO MANY NATIONS AND EMPIRES
THROUGHOUT HISTORY, THE CAUSE OF
OUR DOWNFALL WOULD NOT COME FROM
ABROAD BUT FROM WITHIN.
LINCOLN WROTE, IF DESTRUCTION BE
OUR LOT, WE OURSELVES MUST BE AN
AUTHOR.
HE SUBSTITUTED WILD PASSION IN
PLACE OF SILVER JUDGMENT, AND
THE DANGER POSED BY SAVAGE MOBS.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN COULD JUST AS
EASILY BE WRITING THESE WORDS
TODAY.
WE SEE THE CHAOS PLAYING OUT IN
PLACES LIKE PORTLAND, SEATTLE,
CHICAGO, NEW YORK, AND OTHER
DEMOCRAT RUN CITIES.
WE SEE SUPPRESSION OF FREE
SPEECH.
MOB RULE INSTEAD OF THE RULE OF
LAW.
ELECTED OFFICIALS PUTTING
POLITICS AHEAD OF PUBLIC SAFETY.
THESE IMAGES ARE A PREVIEW OF
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN NATIONWIDE IF
JOE BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS WIN
THIS ELECTION.
IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THAT WAY.
DONALD TRUMP WILL ALWAYS STAND
FOR THE RULE OF LAW.
DONALD TRUMP WILL DEFEND OUR
FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS, PRESERVE
OUR AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE.
AND WORK DAY AND NIGHT TO BUILD
OUR ECONOMY BACK TO THE HISTORIC
LEVELS OF GROWTH.
[APPLAUSE]
HE HAS BEEN DOING ALL THAT AND
MORE FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS,

GOV. WALKER: THANK YOU, MADAM
CHAIR.
IT WAS MY HONOR TO NOMINATE OUR
FRIEND MIKE PENCE TO SERVE AS
VICE PRESIDENT OF THESE UNITED
STATES FOR FOUR MORE YEARS.
WHILE JOE BIDEN HAS OUTSOURCED
HIS AGENDA TO THE RADICAL LEFT,
INCLUDING SENATOR HARRIS, WHOSE
VOTING RECORD ACCORDING TO
NEWSWEEK IS ACTUALLY MORE
LIBERAL THAN BERNIE SANDERS,
THAT'S RIGHT, JOE BIDEN'S
RUNNING MATE IS ACTUALLY TO THE
LEFT OF A SELF IDENTIFIED
SOCIALIST.
MEANWHILE, MIKE PENCE, A
SUCCESSFUL GOVERNOR FROM
AMERICA'S HEARTLAND, IS THE
PERFECT PARTNER FOR OUR
PRESIDENT AS THEY TAKE ON THE
WASHINGTON ESTABLISHMENT, AN
ASTONISHMENT THAT JOE BIDEN HAS
BEEN PART OF FOR NEARLY 50
YEARS.
THAT MAKES JOE BIDEN A CREATURE
OF THE SWAMP.
MIKE PENCE IS HELPING DONALD
TRUMP DRAIN THAT SWAMP, AND WE
NEED THEM THERE FOR FOUR MORE
YEARS.
[APPLAUSE]
MIKE PENCE IS RESPECTED BY
GOVERNORS AND MAYORS AND MEDICAL
PROFESSIONALS ALL ACROSS THIS
NATION BECAUSE OF HIS LEADERSHIP
WITH THE WHITE HOUSE TASK FORCE.
MIKE PENCE HELP THE PEOPLE OF
INDIANA SEE THEIR TAX RELIEF AS
GOVERNOR AND NOW AS VICE
PRESIDENT HE HAS HELPED OUR
PRESIDENT, DONALD TRUMP, PASS
ONE OF THE LARGEST TAX CUTS IN
AMERICAN HISTORY, A TAX CUT THAT
HELPS NEARLY EVERY TAXPAYER IN
THIS COUNTRY, A TAX CUT THAT JOE
BIDEN WANTS TO REPEAL.
MIKE PENCE BELIEVES IN THE
CENTER TO LIFE.
HE ALWAYS HAS.
-- THE SANCTITY OF LIFE.
HE ALWAYS HAS BEEN GOOD HE
ALWAYS WILL.
.
HE ALWAYS WILL.
[APPLAUSE]
MIKE PENCE BELIEVES THAT EVERY
CHILD, NO MATTER WHERE THEY COME
FROM OR WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE,
EVERY CHILD DESERVES ACCESS TO
AN EXCELLENT EDUCATION.
BE IT AT A TRADITIONAL PUBLIC
SCHOOL, A CHARTER SCHOOL, A
PRIVATE SCHOOL WITH A VOUCHER OR
A SCHOLARSHIP OR A TAX CREDIT,
OR EVEN A HOMESCHOOL
ENVIRONMENT.
HE UNDERSTANDS THAT HE TRUSTS
PARENTS TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE
FOR THEIR CHILDREN.
MIKE PENCE BELIEVES IN PUBLIC
SAFETY.
HE WILL DEFEND OUR
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO PROTECT
OURSELVES, OUR FAMILIES, AND OUR
PROPERTY.
HE SUPPORTS PUBLIC SAFETY WHEN
IT COMES TO NOT WHAT JOE BIDEN
SUPPORTERS OFTEN TALK ABOUT,
DEFUNDING THE POLICE, BUT RATHER
DEFENDING THE POLICE.
MIKE PENCE WILL ALWAYS STAND
WITH THE GOOD AND DECENT MEN
AND WOMEN OF
LAW-ENFORCEMENT WHO PROTECT US
EVERY SINGLE DAY.
[APPLAUSE]
AND MIKE PENCE UNDERSTANDS THE
SERVICE AND SACRIFICE OF OUR
MILITARY.
HE UNDERSTANDS THE PRIDE AND
PRAYERS OF OUR MILITARY FAMILIES
BECAUSE HE IS A PART OF ONE.
AMERICA DESERVES AN OUTSTANDING
VICE PRESIDENT LIKE MIKE PENCE.
IT IS UP TO ALL OF US TO ENSURE
THAT HE IS JUST THAT FOR THE
NEXT FOUR YEARS.
LET ME TAKE A MOMENT TO TELL YOU
ABOUT MIKE PENCE, THE PERSON.
HE RESPECTS OTHERS'S TRADITIONS.
MIKE IS GUIDED BY HIS CHRISTIAN
FAITH.
HE LOVES OUR LORD.
AND HE LOVES ALL WHO ARE CREATED
IN GOD'S IMAGE.
HIS FAITH BROUGHT HIM TOGETHER
WITH HIS WONDERFUL WIFE KAREN,
WHO WAS AN OUTSTANDING FIRST
LADY IN INDIANA AND WHO WILL
CONTINUE TO BE AN EXCEPTIONAL
SECOND LADY FOR THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA.
[APPLAUSE]
MIKE ALWAYS ASKED ABOUT MY SONS
BECAUSE HE UNDERSTANDS THE
IMPORTANCE OF FAMILY.
HE IS SO PROUD OF HIS THREE
CHILDREN.
AND INCREASINGLY NOW OF THEIR
SPOUSES.
HE IS SO PROUD OF MICHAEL AND
CHARLOTTE AND AUDREY.
I THINK THE ONLY THING HE CAN
POSSIBLY BE MORE PROUD OF IS
WHEN GOD BLESSES HIM AND KAREN
WITH GRANDCHILDREN IN THE
FUTURE.
HE IS DEVOTED TO HIS FRIENDS.
I REMEMBER IN THE PAST WHEN HE
CALLED TO SEE HOW MY MOTHER WAS
DOING.
I TOLD HIM THAT I WAS STANDING
WITH HER IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM.
MIKE ASKED ME TO PASS THE PHONE
OVER TO MY MOTHER.
I WATCHED AS HE TALKED TO HER,
AS HE COMFORTED HER, AS HE
PRAYED WITH HER.
AND THEN A FEW MINUTES LATER, MY
MOM GOT ANOTHER CALL.
THIS TIME FROM THE PRESIDENT.
MIKE HAD WALKED DOWN TO THE OVAL
OFFICE AND ASKED THE PRESIDENT
TO GIVE HER A CALL.
THAT IS THE KIND OF PERSON MIKE
PENCE IS.
HE IS MIDWEST NICE.
HE IS MIDWEST NICE, BUT HE IS
STRONG.
OFTENTIMES THE MEDIA DOES NOT
UNDERSTAND HOW DONALD TRUMP AND
MIKE PENCE CAN BE SUCH A GREAT
TEAM.
BUT I GOT TO TELL YOU, THEY ARE
A LOT ALIKE.
BOTH ARE SUCCESSFUL CHIEF
EXECUTIVES.
BOTH ARE DOERS, NOT JUST
TALKERS.
AND BOTH HAVE A DEEP AND ABIDING
LOVE FOR AMERICA AND FOR THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.
THAT IS WHY BOTH OF THEM WERE IN
WISCONSIN LAST WEEK DURING THE
DEMOCRATS'S CONVENTION WHILE JOE
BIDEN WAS HANGING OUT IN HIS
BASEMENT IN DELAWARE.
DELAWARE, THE PLACE HE HAS NOT
LEFT.
NOT JUST TO GO CRISSCROSS THE
COUNTRY, BUT HE HAS NOT BEEN TO
WISCONSIN ONE TIME SINCE THE
START OF HIS CAMPAIGN FOR
PRESIDENT.
MIKE PENCE AND DONALD TRUMP WILL
COME BACK NOT JUST TO WISCONSIN
BUT TO NORTH CAROLINA AND EVERY
OTHER PLACE ACROSS THIS COUNTRY.
PLEASE JOIN WITH ME WITH SHOWING
OUR SUPPORT FOR THE CURRENT AND
FUTURE VICE PRESIDENT OF THESE
UNITED STATES, MIKE PENCE.

YOU KNEW WE COULD HAVE A
PRESIDENT WHO PUT AMERICA FIRST
AGAIN.
AND IN 2016, YOU ELECTED
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP TO THE
WHITE HOUSE.
THINK OF ALL WE HAVE DONE.
WE REVIVED THIS ECONOMY THROUGH
CUTTING TAXES, ROLLING BACK
REGULATIONS, UNLEASHING AMERICAN
ENERGY, AND FIGHTING FOR FREE
AND FAIR TRADE.
AFTER YEARS OF BUDGET CUTS, THIS
PRESIDENT REBUILT OUR MILITARY.
WE RESTORED THE ARSENAL OF
DEMOCRACY, AND WE ARE ONCE AGAIN
GIVING OUR SOLDIERS, SAILORS,
AIRMEN, MARINES, AND SPACEPORTS
THE RESOURCES -- SPACE FORCE THE
RESOURCES THEY NEED TO DEFEND
THIS NATION EVERY DAY.
[APPLAUSE]
WE STOOD UP FOR THE RULE OF LAW
AND FOR OUR MOST CHERISHED
LIBERTIES.
THIS PRESIDENT HAS SEEN WITH
YOUR SUPPORT MORE THAN 200 MEN
AND WOMEN CONFIRMED TO OUR
FEDERAL COURTS AT EVERY LEVEL.
AND THEY ARE ALL CONSERVATIVES
WHO WILL UPHOLD THE GOD-GIVEN
LIBERTIES ENSHRINED IN OUR
CONSTITUTION LIKE THE FREEDOM OF
RELIGION, THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH,
AND THE SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHT
TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS.
[APPLAUSE]
I COULD NOT BE MORE PROUD TO BE
VICE PRESIDENT TO A PRESIDENT
WHO STANDS WITHOUT APOLOGY FOR
THE SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE.
[APPLAUSE]
BUT TODAY IS ABOUT FOUR MORE
YEARS.
THIS WEEK, WE WILL TAKE OUR CASE
TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
WE CERTAINLY HEARD THE
DEMOCRATS'S CASE LAST WEEK.
IT IS REMARKABLE TO THINK.
YOU UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU LISTEN
CAREFULLY TO THEIR AGENDA BEYOND
THE PLATITUDES AND ATTITUDE, YOU
HEAR AN AGENDA THAT JOE BIDEN
AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAVE
BEEN OVERTAKEN BY THE RADICAL
LEFT.
THEIR AGENDA IS HIGHER TAXES,
SOCIALIZED MEDICINE, OPEN
BORDERS, ABORTION ON DEMAND, AND
CUTTING FUNDING TO THE MEN AND
WOMEN WHO SERVE IN LAW
ENFORCEMENT AT EVERY LEVEL.
WE ARE GOING TO TAKE OUR CASE TO
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
IT IS A CASE OF LOWER TAXES,
FREE MARKET, ECONOMICS, SECURE
BORDERS, RIGHT TO LIFE, AND WE
ARE GOING TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT
THIS PRESIDENT, THIS VICE
PRESIDENT, AND THIS PARTY WILL
ALWAYS STAND WITH THE MEN AND
WOMEN WHO SERVE ON THE THIN BLUE
LINE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT.
WE ARE GOING TO BACK THE BLUE.
[APPLAUSE]
[CHANTING "BACK THE BLUE"]
I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU HERE AT
THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL
CONVENTION THE SOURCE IN THIS
ELECTION HAS NEVER BEEN CLEARER.
THE STAKES HAVE NEVER BEEN
HIGHER.
WE WILL BE TAKING OVER CASE TO
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THIS WEEK.
BUT IT WILL BE YOU AND THE
MILLIONS OF AMERICANS INVOLVED
IN OUR PARTY AND EVERY STATE AND
TERRITORY OF THIS NATION WILL BE
CARRYING THAT MESSAGE TO THE
 PHONE LINES AND FRONT
DOORSTEPS OF THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE.
IT IS THE REASON WHY I WANTED TO
BE HERE TODAY.
IT IS THE REASON WHY I GOT A
GOOD FEELING YOU MIGHT JUST SEE
A FRIEND OF MINE AT THE
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION
TODAY.
[APPLAUSE]
BECAUSE WE WANTED TO SAY THANK
YOU.
WE WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR
ALL THE WORK YOU HAVE DONE AND
ALL THE WORK YOU WILL CONTINUE
TO DO ON THE DAYS AHEAD.
IN THE CAR ON THE WAY HERE AFTER
I LANDED IN CHARLOTTE, I WAS ON
THE PHONE WITH MORE THAN 5000
VOLUNTEERS ALL ACROSS AMERICA.
WE ARE GOING TO BE GETTING
PEOPLE TOGETHER IN YOUR STATE
AND IN EVERY STATE AND TERRITORY
ACROSS THIS LAND.
WE ALREADY HAVE THE LARGEST
GRASSROOTS CAMPAIGN IN AMERICAN
HISTORY, AND WE ARE GOING TO
SECURE TWO MILLION VOLUNTEERS
BEFORE ELECTION DAY.
IT REALLY IS ABOUT REELECTING
THIS PRESIDENT FOR FOUR MORE
YEARS, BUT IT IS ALSO ABOUT AN
AGENDA.
ABOUT AN AGENDA THAT MADE
AMERICA PROSPEROUS, MORE
PROSPEROUS THAN EVER BEFORE,
BEFORE THIS GREAT GLOBAL
PANDEMIC STRUCK OUR NATION.
MORE AMERICANS WERE WORKING THAN
EVER BEFORE.
WE WERE SETTING RECORDS IN THIS
ECONOMY LEFT AND RIGHT.
IN THE MIDST OF THIS PANDEMIC,
AS I WILL SPEAK ABOUT WEDNESDAY
NIGHT, THE LEADERSHIP OF THIS
PRESIDENT AND THE COMPASSION OF
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SHOWN FORTH.
[APPLAUSE]
AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK
EVERY DAY UNTIL WE PUT THIS
CORONAVIRUS IN THE PAST.
AND WHEN WE REELECT PRESIDENT
DONALD TRUMP, REMEMBER, IT IS
GOING TO BE FOUR MORE YEARS.
THAT MEANS MORE JOBS.
FOUR MORE YEARS MEANS MORE
JUDGES.
FOUR MORE YEARS MEANS MORE
SUPPORT FOR OUR TROOPS AND OUR
COPS.
[APPLAUSE]
AND IT IS GOING TO TAKE AT LEAST
FOUR MORE YEARS TO DRAIN THAT
SWAMP.
[APPLAUSE]
SO MEN AND WOMEN OF THE
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION,
IT IS ON.
[APPLAUSE]
NOW IS THE TIME.
THIS IS THE MOMENT.
FOR EACH OF US TO DO EVERYTHING
WE CAN IN OUR POWER TO REELECT
THIS PRESIDENT COME OF THIS TEAM
FOR FOUR MORE YEARS.
BUT LET'S ALSO DO OUR PART TO
REELECT AND ELECT REPUBLICANS UP
AND DOWN THE BALLOT.
LET'S REELECT A REPUBLICAN
MAJORITY IN THE UNITED STATES
SENATE.
AND LET'S MAKE SURE THAT LEADER
KEVIN MCCARTHY IS SPEAKER.
KEVIN MCCARTHY IN A NEW
REPUBLICAN MAJORITY IN THE
UNITED STATES HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES.
[APPLAUSE]
SO WE ALL HAVE WORK TO DO.
AND I KNOW YOU ARE UP TO THE
TASK.
I SAW THE WAY THIS PARTY, THIS
MOVEMENT LED I WERE NATION BACK
IN 2016.
AND I JUST KNOW EACH AND EVERY
ONE OF YOU ARE GOING TO DO YOUR
PART THIS YEAR TO REELECT THIS
PRESIDENT AND ELECT AND REELECT
REPUBLICANS WITH STRONG, SOUND,
CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLES EVERY
DAY.
I HEARD THE OTHER DAY THAT
DEMOCRACY IS ON THE BALLOT.
BUT I THINK WE ALL KNOW THE
ECONOMY IS ON THE BALLOT.
[APPLAUSE]
LAW AND ORDER IS ON THE BALLOT.
OUR MOST CHERISHED IDEALS OF
FREEDOM AND FREE MARKETS ARE ON
THE BALLOT.
THAT IS WHY WE NEED FOUR MORE
YEARS OF PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP
IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
[APPLAUSE]
[CHANTING "FOUR MORE YEARS"]
SO I'M GOING TO SLIP AWAY
BECAUSE I HAVE A FEELING
SOMEBODY ELSE WILL BE HERE
BEFORE TOO LONG.
AND AS I SAID, I WILL HAVE MORE
TO SAY ABOUT THE ACTION YOU TOOK
TODAY COME WEDNESDAY NIGHT AT
 FORT MCHENRY.
BUT I NEED TO TELL YOU, IT IS
THE GREATEST HONOR OF MY LIFE TO
BE YOUR VICE PRESIDENT.
AND I AM GOING TO WORK MY HEART
OUT TO BE YOUR VICE PRESIDENT
FOR FOUR MORE YEARS.
[APPLAUSE]
AND I'M ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED.
THAT IF ALL OF US DO ALL WE NEED
TO DO BETWEEN NOW AND NOVEMBER
3, IF WE ORGANIZE, IF WE
MOBILIZE, IF WE HIT THE PHONES,
IF WE HIT THE DOORSTEPS, IF WE
DO OUR PART IN EVERY STATE AND
TERRITORY OF THIS COUNTRY, WE
ARE GOING TO ELECT AND REELECT
REPUBLICAN LEADERS ALL ACROSS
THIS LAND.
WE ARE GOING TO REELECT
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP FOR FOUR
MORE YEARS.
AND WITH YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT
AND WITH GOD'S HELP, WE ARE
GOING TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT
AGAIN.
AGAIN.
[APPLAUSE]
THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.
IT IS AN HONOR TO BE WITH YOU
TODAY.

[PLAYING "GOD BLESS THE USA"]
PRES. TRUMP: THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
[CHANTING "FOUR MORE YEARS!"]
PRES. TRUMP: IF YOU WANT TO
DRIVE THEM CRAZY, YOU SAY "12
MORE YEARS."
[APPLAUSE]
WE CAUGHT THEM DOING SOME REALLY
BAD THINGS IN 2016.
LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
WE CAUGHT THEM DOING SOME REALLY
BAD THINGS.
WE HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL
BECAUSE THEY ARE TRYING IT AGAIN
WITH THIS WHOLE 80 MILLION
MAIL-IN BALLOTS THEY ARE WORKING
ON.
SENDING THEM OUT TO PEOPLE THAT
DIDN'T ASK FOR THEM.
THEY JUST GET THEM.
AND IT IS NOT FAIR.
IT IS NOT RIGHT.
AND IT IS NOT GOING TO BE
POSSIBLE TO TABULATE, IN MY
OPINION.
IT'S JUST MY OPINION.
WE HAVE TO BE VERY, VERY
CAREFUL.
AND YOU HAVE TO WATCH, EVERYONE
OF YOU, YOU HAVE TO WATCH
BECAUSE BAD THINGS HAPPENED LAST
TIME WITH THE SPYING ON OUR
CAMPAIGN.
THAT GOES TO BIDEN AND IT GOES
TO OBAMA.
WE HAVE TO BE VERY, VERY
CAREFUL.
WE HAVE TO BE VERY, VERY
CAREFUL.
THIS TIME, THEY ARE TRYING TO DO
IT WITH THE WHOLE POST OFFICE
SCAM.
DON'T BLAME IT ON THE POST
OFFICE.
YOU CAN SEE THEM SETTING IT UP.
BE VERY CAREFUL AND WATCH IT
CAREFULLY.
BECAUSE WE HAVE TO WIN.
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT
ELECTION IN THE HISTORY OF OUR
COUNTRY.
THIS IS THE MOST -- 
[APPLAUSE]
FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, I
WOULD SAY 2016, HOW SPECIAL WAS
THAT EVENING?
?
WASN'T THAT GREAT?
THAT WAS ONE OF THE GREAT
EVENINGS.
BUT WE HAVE TO BE VERY, VERY
CAREFUL.
WE HAVE TO WIN.
OUR COUNTRY IS COUNTING ON IT.
THIS IS THE BIGGEST.
THIS IS IT.
OUR COUNTRY CAN GO AND A
HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE DIRECTION OR
IN AN EVEN GREATER DIRECTION.
BEFORE THE PLAGUE CAME IN FROM
CHINA, THAT IS WHERE WE WERE
GOING.
WE WERE GOING IN A DIRECTION
LIKE WE HAD NEVER SEEN.
THE MOST SUCCESSFUL ECONOMY IN
THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY.
THE BEST UNEMPLOYMENT NUMBERS IN
HISTORY FOR AFRICAN-AMERICAN,
ASIAN AMERICAN, HISPANIC
AMERICAN, WOMEN, COLLEGE
STUDENTS, THAT STUDENTS, GOOD
STUDENTS, EVERYBODY.
IF YOU HAD A DIPLOMA, IF YOU
DIDN'T HAVE A DIPLOMA, IT DIDN'T
MATTER, YOU WERE DOING WELL.
EVERYBODY WAS DOING WELL.
AND WE WERE ACTUALLY COMING
TOGETHER.
SUCCESS BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER.
MAY BETTER THAN ANYTHING ELSE.
SUCCESS BRINGS PEOPLE -- SO MANY
TIMES PEOPLE SAY, WE WERE
DIVIDED.
WE WERE VERY DIVIDED UNDER
PRESIDENT OBAMA.
PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA HOW DIVIDED.
THEY DIDN'T TALK ABOUT IT AS
MUCH.
THEY DIDN'T SAY IT AS MUCH.
.
BUT WE WERE REALLY COMING
TOGETHER.
AND I WAS SPEAKING WITH THE
DEMOCRATS ALL OF A SUDDEN
BECAUSE THE SUCCESS, THE MARKETS
WERE AT A ALL-TIME HIGH, AND BY
THE WAY, TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT IS
HAPPENING WITH THE MARKETS.
TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR 401(K)S
WHICH YOU PROBABLY DO EVERY
HOUR.
[LAUGHTER]
TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR STOCKS.
WE ARE CLOSING TO BREAK THE --
BREAKING THE RECORD.
THAT STACK HAS ALREADY DONE IT.
NASDAQ HAS BROKEN THE RECORD I
THINK 16 TIMES ALREADY.
[APPLAUSE]
DURING A PANDEMIC.
HOPEFULLY WE WILL PULL THE FINAL
PHASE OF THE PANDEMIC.
BIDEN THE OTHER DAY SAID HE
WOULD SHUT IT DOWN.
HE LISTENED TO SOME GUYS SAY
THAT HE WOULD SHUT IT DOWN.
WE JUST BROKE A RECORD ON JOBS.
AN ALL-TIME RECORD.
THERE HAS NEVER BEEN THREE
MONTHS WHERE WE HAVE PUT MORE
PEOPLE TO WORK, OVER 9 MILLION
PEOPLE.
AND AGAIN, WE ARE JUST ABOUT
READY TO BREAK THE ALL-TIME
STOCK MARKET RECORD.
YOU LOOK AT IT.
[CROWD CHEERING]
WE ARE JUST ABOUT READY TO DO IT
AGAIN.
AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS
EVERYTHING ELSE IS GOING TO
FOLLOW.
VERY SMART OF WALL STREET.
EVERYTHING ELSE IS GOING TO BE
THERE.
THE ECONOMY IS COMING UP
RAPIDLY.
OUR FARMERS ARE DOING WELL.
OUR FARMERS ARE DOING WELL
BECAUSE I GOT CHINA TO GIVE THEM
$28 MILLION BECAUSE THEY WERE
TARGETED BY CHINA.
I GOT THE FARMERS $28 MILLION.
[CROWD CHEERING]
THAT'S WHY.
IN SPITE OF THE PANDEMIC, AND
OUR FARMERS DID A GREAT JOB IN
SUPPLYING THE FOOD AND ALL OF
THE DIFFICULTIES DURING THIS
PERIOD OF TIME.
BUT WE ARE GETTING READY TO DO
THINGS LIKE NO ONE HAS
SEEN IT BEFORE.
.
THE BEST WAY TO BRING UNITY IS
SUCCESS.
SUCCESS BRINGS UNITY.
AND WE WERE THERE.
THEN WE GOT HIT WITH THE PLAGUE.
BUT WE WILL NOT FORGET THAT.
I JUST WANT TO THANK THE PEOPLE
OF NORTH CAROLINA BECAUSE TO BE
HONEST WITH YOU, I FELT AN
OBLIGATION TO BE HERE.
YOU HAVE A GOVERNOR WHO IS IN A
TOTAL SHUTDOWN MODE.
I GUARANTEE ON NOVEMBER 4, IT
WILL ALL OPEN UP.
IT WILL BE PROUD.
ON NOVEMBER 4, THESE DEMOCRATIC
GOVERNORS, THEY LEFT SHUT DOWN
UNTIL AFTER THE ELECTION IS OVER
BECAUSE THEY WANT TO MAKE OUR
NUMBERS LOOK AS BAD AS POSSIBLE
FOR THE ECONOMY.
OUR NUMBERS ARE LOOKING SO GOOD.
I USED TO SAY AV.
PEOPLE WOULD SAY MAYBE NOT, I
DON'T THINK SO.
SOME WOULD SAY NO WAY.
WE HAVE A SUPER V, YOU ARE
RIGHT.
IT IS NOW LOOKING LIKE IT IS A
SUPER V.
OUR AUTOMOBILE NUMBERS ARE
INCREDIBLE.
BOTH USED CARS AND BRAND-NEW
CARS.
OUR MANUFACTURING NUMBER IS
INCREDIBLE.
WE ARE PUTTING MANUFACTURING
JOBS TO WORK THAT THE PREVIOUS
ADMINISTRATION SAID HE WOULD
NEED A MAGIC WAND.
YOU NEED A MAGIC WAND FOR
MANUFACTURING JOBS.
I DON'T THINK SO.
.
I GUESS WE HAD THE MAGIC WAND.
BUT WE ARE PUTTING THEM BACK.
WE ARE BRINGING THEM BACK.
THINK OF YOUR LIFE PRIOR TO THE
PLAGUE COMING IN.
IT WAS THE BEST IT HAS EVER
BEEN.
YOUR STATE HAVE THE BEST NUMBERS
THEY'VE EVER HAD.
BY FAR.
WE HAVE THE BEST EMPLOYMENT
NUMBERS ALSO.
WE WERE UP TO 160 MILLION JOBS.
WE WERE NEVER ANYWHERE NEAR
THAT.
THEN WE HAD TO SHUT IT DOWN.
WE SAVE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF
LIVES.
WE LEARNED THE ENEMY, WE LEARNED
ABOUT THE INVISIBLE ENEMY, HOW
IT AFFECTS REALLY PEOPLE THAT
ARE OLDER, ESPECIALLY OLDER
PEOPLE.
THE ELDERLY.
BUT OLDER PEOPLE WITH PROBLEMS
WITH DIABETES, WITH OTHER
PROBLEMS.
AND WE LEARNED.
MOST OF THE COUNTRY IS RIGHT NOW
DOING VERY, VERY WELL.
THEY HAVE DONE AN INCREDIBLE
JOB.
TO HAVE A MAN SITTING ON
TELEVISION THE OTHER DAY SAY, I
WOULD SHUT IT DOWN, LIKE IT IS
EASY, SHUT IT DOWN.
WHEN YOU SHUT IT DOWN, AND WE
DID THE RIGHT THING, WE SHUT IT
DOWN, AND THEN WE REOPENED.
WE ARE WELL INTO IT.
[CROWD CHEERING]
[APPLAUSE]
IF WE DIDN'T SHUT IT DOWN AT
THAT POINT, WE WOULD HAVE HAD
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE DEAD.
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE DEAD.
YOU SEE THE NUMBERS.
THE JOB THAT MIKE PENCE AND THE
TASK FORCE AND ALL OF US
TOGETHER HAVE DONE HAS BEEN
INCREDIBLE WHAT WE HAVE DONE.
WHAT WE'VE ACHIEVED.
WHETHER IT IS VENTILATORS,
WHETHER IT IS SUPPLYING
EQUIPMENT TO GOVERNORS THAT WERE
TOTALLY ILL-PREPARED.
MANY OF THE GOVERNORS WERE
TOTALLY ILL-PREPARED.
NOBODY WANTS TO SAY THAT.
BUT IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK THAT
WAY.
IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK THAT WAY.
THE GOVERNORS ARE SUPPOSED TO DO
IT.
AND MANY OF THEM DID A FINE JOB.
AND MANY OF THEM CAME BACK WELL.
BUT MOST OF THEM DIDN'T HAVE THE
EQUIPMENT THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE
HAD.
IF YOU HAVE THEM HAD THE
VENTILATORS WHICH ARE VERY, VERY
COMPLEX MACHINES AND HARD TO
MAKE AND HARD TO MANUFACTURE AND
EXPENSIVE.
AND WE ARE RIGHT NOW MAKING
THOUSANDS OF VENTILATORS A MONTH
AND WE ARE SENDING THEM -- WE
HAVE ALL WE CAN USE.
OUR WHOLE COUNTRY, EVERY STATE,
WE ARE STOCKED.
I ALWAYS SAY, AND I WILL SAY IT
AGAIN, THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A
PERSON THAT NEEDED A VENTILATOR
BUT DIDN'T GET A VENTILATOR.
.
EVERY SINGLE PERSON THAT HAS
EVER NEEDED A VENTILATOR, WITH
ALL YOU HAVE HEARD WITH HOW MUCH
-- THEY SAID THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE
IT.
AGAIN, I TOOK OVER A COUNTRY
WHOSE MILITARY WAS DEPLETED AND
WHOSE COVERED ON THIS FRONT WERE
BARE.
THE CUPBOARDS WERE BARE.
WE DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING.
WE DIDN'T HAVE A THING.
WE HAD VERY, VERY LITTLE.
AND WE DID A GREAT JOB.
WE HAVEN'T BEEN GIVEN -- AND IT
IS NOT FOR ME, IT IS FOR THE
INCREDIBLE PEOPLE, THE GENERALS,
ADMIRALS, THE DOCTORS, THE
NURSES, AND YET YOU SAW
YESTERDAY CONVALESCENT PLASMA,
USE OUR REMDESIVIR, YOU WILL
SOON SEEN VACCINES POURING OUT.
YEARS AHEAD OF WHAT THEY WOULD
HAVE BEEN UNDER A MORE
TRADITIONAL, LET'S USE THAT TERM
BECAUSE IT IS NICER, A MORE
TRADITIONAL ADMINISTRATION WHERE
THEY WOULD HAVE TAKEN YEARS TO
COME UP WITH THIS STUFF.
WE ARE COMING UP WITH IT LIKE
NOBODY HAS EVER SEEN BEFORE.
THE FDA, DR. HANA, I WANT TO
THANK THEM, ALEX AZAR, I WANT TO
THANK HIM.
THEY HAVE, WITH THINGS AND DONE
THINGS BUT HAVE NEVER BEEN DONE
IN TERMS OF SPEED.
AND FRANKLY, IN TERMS OF
QUALITY.
IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT WE ARE DOING
AND WHAT WE ARE COMING UP WITH,
DRUG COMPANIES ARE COMING OUT
WITH VACCINES -- I HAVE SEEN
SOME RESULTS ALREADY.
IT IS GOOD TO BE VERY, VERY
SOON.
THEY ARE IN STAGE THREE TRIALS.
IT'S UNHEARD OF.
WE WOULD NOT BE THERE FOR TWO
YEARS IF THIS WERE A MORE NORMAL
SITUATION.
[APPLAUSE]
SO, I JUST WANT TO THANK
EVERYBODY FOR BEING HERE.
AGAIN, I FELT AN OBLIGATION TO
COME TO NORTH CAROLINA.
IT HAS BEEN A PLACE THAT HAS
BEEN VERY GOOD TO ME.
WE WON A LOT OF BIG -- I HAVEN'T
BEEN DOING THIS THAT LONG, BUT I
WANTED EVERY CHANCE I HAD IN
NORTH CAROLINA.
I EVEN STOLE A GREAT CHIEF OF
STAFF, MARK MEADOWS.
[CROWD CHEERING]
[APPLAUSE]
AND HE LEFT CONGRESS AS A
POPULAR GUY.
COULD HAVE BEEN THERE FOR A LONG
TIME.
BY THE WAY, YOU HAVE A FANTASTIC
YOUNG GENTLEMAN GOING TO TAKE
HIS PLACE.
HE IS A FANTASTIC YOUNG GUY.
AND HE IS GOING TO BE A REAL
STAR IN THE PARTY.
HE IS GOING TO BE A REAL STAR IN
THE PARTY.
I JUST WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY
FROM NORTH CAROLINA.
AND I DO WANT TO SHOW A LITTLE
BIT OF A DIFFERENCE, BECAUSE
ANOTHER STATE THAT HAS BEEN GOOD
TO ME IS WISCONSIN.
[CROWD CHEERING]
AND JOE BIDEN WAS GOING TO HAVE
THEIR CONVENTION IN MILWAUKEE.
AND THEY DIDN'T GO THERE AT ALL.
THEY DIDN'T DO THIS.
WE DID THIS OUT OF RESPECT FOR
YOUR STATE.
WE DIDN'T DO THIS FOR ANY OTHER
REASON THEN RESPECT FOR THE
STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA.
BECAUSE WE SAID WE WANTED TO
HOLD OUR CONVENTION IN NORTH
CAROLINA.
AND I THINK YOU ARE GOING TO
REMEMBER THAT ON NOVEMBER 3.
WE WANTED TO HOLD OUR CONVENTION
IN NORTH CAROLINA.
[APPLAUSE]
SO I DID THAT OUT OF RESPECT.
AND IF YOU HAD A GOVERNOR THAT
WOULD HAVE LED US -- LEFT AS
HAVE SOME PEOPLE, HE ACTUALLY
TOLD ME THIS, WE HAD AN ARENA
THAT HOLDS 19,000 PEOPLE, IT WAS
JAM SOLD OUT, EVERY HOTEL WAS
FOR.
I CALLED HIM, HE SAID, WE HAVE A
SHUTDOWN GOING ON.
AND ACCORDING TO THE RULES AND
REGULATION, NOW THIS IS 19,000,
HE DID SAY IT, I DON'T THINK HE
WILL DENY IT.
BUT HE SAID ACCORDING TO THE
RULES AND REGULATIONS, THE MOST
PEOPLE YOU ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE
IN THAT ROOM, MEANING THAT
ARENA, HE VIEWED IT AS A ROOM,
IS 10 PEOPLE.
SO I SAY GOVERNOR, I MET 19,000,
YOU ARE AT 10.
CAN WE WORK SOMETHING IN THE
MIDDLE?
IT DIDN'T SOUND TOO GOOD.
WE REALLY HAD NO CHOICE.
IT WAS A TERRIBLE THING.
I FELT SO BADLY.
ECONOMIC DEVELOP IN MONEY, ALL
THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED.
WE DECIDED, I WAS WITH RHONDA,
THE VICE PRESIDENT, EVERYBODY,
MARK, AND WE SAID LET'S HAVE OUR
BIG DEAL, THE ROLL CALL, LET'S
HAVE IT RIGHT HERE, AND LET'S DO
IT.
AND I'M GOING TO SHOW UP AND NOT
TELL ANYBODY UNTIL A FEW MINUTES
AGO, NOBODY KNEW I WAS COMING.
NOBODY KNEW IT WAS COMING.
[CROWD CHEERING]
BUT WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT ON
THE ROLLCALL?
YOU ARE THE ONES CALLING IT.
WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT?
SO I HAVE TO TELL YOU, WE ARE
GOING TO DO A LOT OF THINGS.
I'M GOING TO GO OVER IT BRIEFLY
BECAUSE WE WILL MAKE A SPEECH ON
THURSDAY NIGHT.
I HOPE YOU ALL WILL BE
LISTENING.
[CROWD CHEERING]
BECAUSE I CAME IN AND I'M ON AIR
FORCE ONE, AND AIR FORCE ONE HAS
MORE TELEVISIONS THAN ANY PLANE
IN HISTORY.
THEY'VE GOT THEM IN CLOSETS, ON
CEILINGS, FLOORS.
THEY'VE GOT MORE -- YOU CAN'T
ESCAPE A TELEVISION.
I TURNED TO CNN AND THEY DIDN'T
HAVE THIS.
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?
THEY DIDN'T HAVE IT.
NO, NO, CNN DIDN'T HAVE OUR
ROLLCALL.
AND I TURNED TO MS A D&C, AS I
CALL HER.
[LAUGHTER]
MSDNC.
IT IS A BRANCH OF THE DEMOCRATS.
I WOULD NOT SAY FULLY OWNED
CORPORATION, BUT IT IS CERTAINLY
A FULLY CONTROLLED.
OR THEY CONTROL THEM.
NOBODY REALLY KNOWS WHO IS
CONTROLLING WHO.
BUT THEY HAD IT ON TELEVISION.
I REMEMBER WATCHING IT.
AND IT WAS INTERESTING.
YOU SEE THE DIFFERENT STATES, WE
SAY THIS, WE SAY THAT.
THE GREAT STATE OF ALASKA, THE
GREAT STATE OF ALABAMA, THE
GREAT STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA, A
GREAT STATE OF ALL OF THEM.
AND IT IS PRETTY INTERESTING TO
ME.
THEY HAVE THEIRS ON.
BUT THEY DIDN'T SHOW IT.
INSTEAD THEY ARE SHOWING THE
SCAM BECAUSE THEY ARE TRYING TO
SHOW THE POST OFFICE, SO THAT
WHEN THEIR WHOLE MAIL IN THING
FIZZLES, THEY WILL TRY BLAMING
IT ON THE POST OFFICE.
THEY ARE SHOWING THESE HEARINGS
THAT ARE VERY BORING, ACTUALLY.
AND THEY ARE NOT SHOWING THIS.
THEY WERE NOT SHOWING THIS.
AND FOX SAID IT, UNFORTUNATELY
FOX WAS NOT SHOWING IT TOO MUCH
BECAUSE THEY HAD THE ANNOUNCERS
TALKING, TALKING, TALKING.
I SET I WANT TO HEAR WHAT THE
DELEGATES ARE SAYING.
SO I THINK WE HAD TO SWITCH OVER
TO C-SPAN OR OAN, OR SOMEBODY.
I WANTED TO HEAR THEM.
[APPLAUSE]
BUT I CAN PROMISE YOU A FEW
THINGS.
NUMBER ONE, WE WILL NOT BE
TAKING THE WORD GOD OUT OF THE
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.
[CROWD CHEERING]
LIKE THEY DID A NUMBER OF TIMES
AT THEIR CAUCUSES.
.
THEY TOOK THE WORD GOD OUT.
I HEARD IT.
I WAS LISTENING.
I SAID, THAT'S STRANGE.
SORT OF WEIRD.
YOU'VE HEARD IT ALL YOUR LIFE.
"UNDER GOD, UNDER GOD."
THOSE TWO WORDS ARE MISSING.
I SAID, OH, HE MUST HAVE MADE A
MISTAKE.
HE MUST -- MAYBE THE
TELEPROMPTER WASN'T WORKING, OR
HIS BOOK WASN'T WORKING, THAT I
HAVE RIGHT HERE.
SOMETHING WASN'T WORKING.
BUT THE PROBLEM WAS, THE NEXT
DAY I HEARD IT AGAIN.
I SAID, THAT'S NOT A MISTAKE.
THEN THEY IMMEDIATELY WENT INTO,
OH NO, WE DIDN'T MEAN THAT.
WE DIDN'T SAY IT FOR THE
CONVENTION.
NO, THAT IS WHERE THEY ARE
COMING FROM.
YOU CAN SAY IT OR NOT SAY IT.
THAT IS WHERE THEY ARE COMING
FROM.
JUST LIKE WITH ENERGY, THEY
DON'T WANT ENERGY.
NOT WORKING WELL IN TEXAS BY THE
WAY.
JUST LOOKED AT A POLE.
BY THE WAY, JUST CAME OUT THAT
WE HAVE RECEIVED 51% IN THE BIG
AND VERY IMPORTANT -- MY NUMBERS
WENT UP DURING THE DEMOCRATIC
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
[APPLAUSE]
51%.
[CHANTING "FOUR MORE YEARS!"]
PRES. TRUMP: THANK YOU.
I LOVE THIS STATE!
I LIKE THIS PLACE.
AND YOU ARE FROM ALL OVER THE
PLACE BUT THIS HAS BEEN A GOOD
ONE FOR ME.
THINK OF IT.
WE ARE AT 51%.
DID YOU READ ABOUT IT, HEAR
ABOUT IT?
YOU DON'T HEAR ABOUT IT.
THEY DO REGISTERED VOTERS
INSTEAD OF, MOST LIKELY, IT IS
SUPPOSED TO BE LIKELY, IN OTHER
WORDS, HOW ABOUT YOU?
YOU ARE LIKELY TO VOTE.
HOW ABOUT YOU?
YOU ARE REGISTERED.
BUT I'M NOT VOTING.
UNDER THEIR PLAN, WHERE THEY
SEND THESE BALLOTS, YOU DON'T
HAVE TO WANT TO VOTE.
YOU GET THE BALLOT, AND THEN
THEY HAVE HARVESTING.
THEY GET GUYS TO GO, YOU WANT TO
VOTE?
?
NOT REALLY, I HAVE A VALID --
BALLOT.
CAN I HAVE IT?
THEY WILL TAKE IT.
IN FACT, HARVESTING IS A LEGAL
IN YOUR STATE.
THEY WANTED TO PUT A REPUBLICAN,
FINE MAN, A PASTOR, THEY WANTED
TO PUT HIM IN JAIL BECAUSE HE
HARVESTED.
NOW THEY WANT TO MAKE HARVESTING
LEGAL ALL OF A SUDDEN.
THEY WILL PUT HIM IN JAIL AS A
REPUBLICAN.
AS A DEMOCRAT, THEY WOULD NOT BE
THINKING ABOUT IT.
.
IN CALIFORNIA, THEY DO THE SAME
THING.
.
NO REPERCUSSION.
IN NORTH CAROLINA, YOU HAD A
FINE PASTOR, A FINE MAN, AND
THEY GOT HIM ON HARVESTING AND
WANTED TO PUT HIM IN JAIL.
NOW THEY WANT TO MAKE IT ALSO
THAT EVERYBODY CAN HARVEST,
BECAUSE THEY KNOW IT IS NOT A
GOOD THING.
SO PEOPLE THAT DON'T WANT TO
VOTE WILL BE SITTING THERE, THEY
WILL BE MAKING -- IF YOU TALK
ABOUT 80 MILLION BALLOTS, 80
MILLION, IT COULD NOT BE HIGHER
THAN THAT.
I USED TO SAY 51 MILLION.
THEY SAID, SIR, YOU ARE OBSOLETE
WITH THE 51.
I SAID, WHAT IS IT?
THEY SAID 80.
I SAID, 80?
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO THINK OF
IT.
THEY WILL BE DUMPING THEM IN
NEIGHBORHOODS, PEOPLE WILL BE
PICKING THEM UP, THEY WILL BE
BRIBING AND PAYING OFF PEOPLE TO
GRAB SOME.
THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE
GREATEST SCAMS.
AND IT IS COMMON SENSE.
THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH
POLITICS.
.
IT'S COMMON SENSE.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW POLITICS.
THEY WILL MAIL OUT 80 MILLION
BALLOTS.
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
THEY HAVE NO IDEA.
WHO IS MAILING THEM?
MOSTLY DEMOCRAT STATES AND
DEMOCRAT GOVERNORS.
SUPPOSING THEY DON'T MAIL THEM
TO REPUBLICAN NEIGHBORHOODS?
THAT MEANS THEY ARE NOT GOING TO
GET THEM.
SO THEY WILL COMPLAIN AND THE
ELECTION WILL BE OVER AND THEN
THEY WILL COMPLAIN AND THEY WILL
SAY OH WELL, WE DIDN'T GET IT.
IN THE MEANTIME, YOU MIGHT LOSE
THE ELECTION.
.
THIS IS THE GREATEST SCAM IN THE
HISTORY OF POLITICS, I THINK.
AND I'M TALKING ABOUT BEYOND OUR
NATION.
AND THEY ACT LIKE THEY ARE
AGGRIEVED.
LIKE BY SAYING THIS, WE ARE
SAYING SUCH A HORRIBLE THING.
WE ARE NOT PATRIOTIC BY SAYING
THIS.
NO.
WE VOTED DURING WORLD WAR I.
WE VOTED AT THE VOTING BOARD --
BOOTH DURING WORLD WAR II.
THE PANDEMIC, WE ARE DOING VALID
-- VERY WELL AND PEOPLE KNOW HOW
TO HANDLE IT.
LOOK AT THE CROWDS.
THEY ARE DOING VERY WELL.
IT'S VERY SAFE.
IT'S GOING TO BE VERY SAFE.
IF YOU HAVE AN ABSENTEE BALLOT
WHERE YOU ARE REQUESTED, WE ARE
ALL IN FAVOR OF THAT.
ABSENTEE, LIKE IN FLORIDA.
THEY HAVE ABSENTEE THAT IS GOOD.
OTHER THAN THAT, THEY ARE VERY,
VERY BAD.
THERE WILL BE MILLIONS OF
BALLOTS.
TAKE A LOOK AT NEW YORK.
TAKE A LOOK AT VIRGINIA.
TAKE A LOOK AT NEW JERSEY.
ALL DIFFERENT CASES.
THEY JUST HAD ONE LAST NIGHT.
NOW THEY ARE THINKING ABOUT
RECALLING CERTAIN ELECTIONS THAT
TOOK PLACE WITH MAIL AND.
AND THESE ARE SMALL ELECTIONS
THAT ARE LOCALLY BASED THAT ARE
EASY TO RUN.
NOT MILLIONS, BUT THOUSANDS OF
BALLOTS.
.
THOUSANDS.
HUNDREDS OF BALLOTS.
BUT THESE ARE SMALL.
THEY CAN'T CONTROL IT.
THEY SAID 23% OF THE BALLOTS
WERE DEFECTIVE.
WHAT DOES DEFECTIVE MEAN?
IT MEANS FRAUD.
IT MEANS A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE
WILL NOT GET INTO BECAUSE I
DON'T WANT TO BE ACCUSED.
YOU SEE THE CAMERAS BACK THERE?
[LAUGHTER]
THE FAKE NEWS, I DON'T WANT TO
BE ACCUSED OF ANYTHING.
BUT WHAT IT MEANS IS THEY ARE
TRYING TO STEAL THE ELECTION
FROM THE REPUBLICANS.
THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS.
IN A VERY, VERY NICE WAY, THEY
ARE TRYING TO STEAL THE ELECTION
JUST LIKE THEY DID IT LAST TIME
WITH SPYING.
AND WE CAUGHT THEM.
THAT INCLUDED PRESIDENT OBAMA.
AND THAT INCLUDED, LET'S BE
NICE.
[LAUGHTER]
THIS CAN ONLY HAPPEN IN NORTH
CAROLINA.
[LAUGHTER]
BUT THAT INCLUDED THEM.
AND I GOT CAUGHT.
THEN SOMEBODY SAID WELL, WHAT
ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
WELL, WE CAN'T ATTACK A
PRESIDENT.
I SEE.
IF IT WAS ME --
[LAUGHTER]
WE CAN'T ATTACK A PRESIDENT, WE
CAUGHT HIM.
WE CAUGHT HIM COLD.
THEY SAY, WE CAN'T ATTACK.
HE WAS AT MEETINGS TALKING ABOUT
IT.
BY THE WAY, THIS WAS SPYING
BEFORE AND AFTER.
I THINK IT IS A DISGRACE TO OUR
COUNTRY.
I THINK WE CAN NEVER LET THAT
HAPPEN AGAIN.
BUT NOW THEY ARE DOING SOMETHING
THAT IN A CERTAIN WAY, IS MORE
DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT IS MORE
EFFECTIVE.
THEY SPIED ON MY CAMPAIGN.
YOU KNOW WHAT THEY FOUND?
NOTHING.
BUT THIS IS BIG STUFF.
THIS IS STEALING MILLIONS OF
VOTES.
AND IT IS GOING TO BE VERY HARD.
NOW WE ARE IN COURTS ALL OVER
THE COUNTRY AND HOPEFULLY WE
HAVE JUDGES THAT ARE GOING TO
GIVE IT A FAIR CALL.
BECAUSE IF THEY GIVE IT A FAIR
CALL, WE ARE GOING TO WIN THIS
ELECTION.
THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN TAKE THIS
ELECTION AWAY FROM US IS IF THIS
IS A RIGGED ELECTION.
WE ARE GOING TO WIN THIS
ELECTION.
[APPLAUSE]
I AM JUST SAYING WE CANNOT HAVE
THESE MAIL-IN BALLOTS SENT TO
EVERYONE, INCLUDING MOSTLY
PEOPLE WHO NEVER ASK FOR THEM.
THINK OF IT!
HERE'S THE BOTTOM LINE.
IT WAS JUST A GIVEN THAT, IN THE
POLLS, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, AND
THAT IS WHY I RESPECT HER AS
MUCIN -- WHY I RESPECT RAZ MUCIN
-- RASMUSSEN.
IF YOU LOOK AT IT, EVERY SINGLE
VOTE THAT THEY HAVE -- EVERY
SINGLE VOTE -- IT IS GOING TO BE
LOOKED AT.
A MAN OR A WOMAN IS SITTING,
WAITING FOR NOTHING, WATCHING
TELEVISION, HAS NO ENTHUSIASM.
BECAUSE ON ENTHUSIASM, THE POLLS
ARE SAYING I AM UP BY MASSIVE
NUMBERS.
NOT JUST A LITTLE.
I AM ALSO WAY UP ON THE ECONOMY,
BY THE WAY.
WHEN I SAY I AM UP, I AM TALKING
ABOUT WE ARE UP.
SO COME IF YOU COULD COME UP
PLEASE.
I AM UP BY MASSIVE NUMBERS ON A
DOOZY AS HIM.
-- ON ENTHUSIASM.
THEY ARE SAYING, I DO NOT CARE
IF BIDEN GETS IT.
HE HAS NO ENTHUSIASM.
WHEN YOU GO TO OHIO, WISCONSIN,
NORTH CAROLINA, A LOT OF STATES,
THEY HAVE THE TRUMP-PENCE SIGN
ON EVERY LAWN.
IT IS ALL OVER THE PLACE.
INDIANA TOO.
INDIANA IS GREAT.
WE LOVE BOBBY KNIGHT.
I WILL TELL YOU.
ALL OF THEM, THEY LOVE US COME
IN WE LOVE THEM.
INDIANA IS GREAT.
THANK YOU.
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY
ENTHUSIASM, ARE YOU GOING TO
VOTE?
I WANT TO WATCH TELEVISION.
ALL RIGHT.
HERE IS A BALLOT.
IT JUST GOT TO YOU.
WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH THIS
THING?
THEY HAVE SOMEBODY KNOCKING ON
YOUR DOOR AND THEIR HARVESTING
-- AND THEY ARE HARVESTING.
HEY, HAVE YOU GOTTEN YOUR
BALLOT?
YEAH, I HAVE MY BALLOT.
WHEN YOU SIGN IT?
YEAH.
GET OUT OF HERE.
THAT IS UNFAIR.
THEY ARE TAKING ALL THAT
ENTHUSIASM OUR PARTY HAS, AND WE
HAVE TREMENDOUS ENTHUSIASM, I
THINK RECORD ENTHUSIASM.
[APPLAUSE]
WE HAVE A BASE THE LIKES OF
WHICH NOBODY HAS SEEN, INCLUDING
THESE PEOPLE.
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL DID A
FANTASTIC STORY THIS WEEKEND, A
COVER STORY, ON THIS BASE.
IT IS AN INCREDIBLE BASE.
EVERYBODY HERE WILL VOTE.
I MEAN, WE HAVE A TREMENDOUS
BASE.
THEY DO NOT.
THEY HAVE NO ENTHUSIASM FOR
THEIR CANDIDATE.
FRANKLY, BERNIE SANDERS, THEY
HAD MUCH MORE ENTHUSIASM FOR
HIM.
BUT BERNIE SANDERS, EXCUSE ME --
AGAIN, HE IS THE GREATEST LOSER
I HAVE EVER SEEN.
THE GUY CAN LOSE AND HE IS SO
HAPPY.
HILLARY CLINTON -- I WANT TO USE
NICE LANGUAGE.
I DO NOT WANT TO USE THE WORD
THAT STARTS WITH S, C.
THEY WILL SAY HE USES FOUL
LANGUAGE.
BUT BERNIE SANDERS GOT TAKEN
ADVANTAGE OF BY HILLARY CLINTON,
BUT WORSE, BY THE DEMOCRATS THIS
TIME BECAUSE POCAHONTAS,
ELIZABETH WARREN, GOT OUT OF THE
CAMPAIGN ONE DAY PRIOR TO THE
SUPER TUESDAY VOTE.
BERNIE SANDERS WOULD HAVE ONE
EVERY SINGLE STATE BECAUSE BIDEN
ONE BY A LITTLE BIT.
SHE DID NOT DO WELL, BUT SHE
TOOK THOUSANDS OF VOTES AWAY.
IF YOU ADD JUST A PERCENTAGE OF
THOSE BOATS BACK, THAT MEANS --
OF THOSE BOATS BACK, THAT MEANS
BERNIE WOULD HAVE EASILY WON THE
NOMINATION.
I'M GLAD HE DIDN'T.
HE HAD THE DOOZY AS HIM.
A MUCH SMALLER BASE, BUT EQUALLY
AS ENTHUSIASTIC.
THEY DO NOT LIKE JOE BIDEN.
I THINK WE WILL GET A LOT OF
VOTES.
PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF TRADE.
I KNOW HOW OTHER COUNTRIES TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF US AND I UNDERSTAND
THAT AND THAT IS SOMETHING
BERNIE SANDERS PEOPLE FEEL.
I UNDERSTAND TRADE.
I HAVE DONE USMCA NOW.
I GOT RID OF NAFTA, THE WORST --
[LAUGHTER]
CHINA TARIFFS.
CHINA HAD THE WORST YEAR.
THE WORST YEAR THEY HAVE HAD IN
DECADES AND DECADES AND WE HAD
THE BEST YEAR WE HAVE EVER HAD,
BUT WE TOOK IN BILLIONS OF FROM
CHINA.
WE NEVER TOOK IN $.10 FROM
CHINA.
THEY TOOK CHINA -- AND NOT ONLY
OBAMA -- FOR 25 YEARS, CHINA WAS
TAKING IN ANYWHERE BETWEEN $200
BILLION AND $550 BILLION FROM
THE UNITED STATES.
I GIVE THEM ALL THE CREDIT,
NUMBER ONE, FOR BEING SMART AND
OUTFOXING ALL THE PEOPLE THAT
STOOD HERE AND THEIR
REPRESENTATIVES, BUT CHINA WE
HELP TO BUILD.
WE GAVE THEM $500 BILLION A YEAR
BECAUSE, BEFORE THAT, AND BEFORE
THE WTO, CHINA WAS FLATLINED.
CHINA -- IT WAS AFTER THAT
HAPPENED.
AND THEY TOOK ADVANTAGE OF US
BECAUSE WE DID NOT HAVE PEOPLE
THAT WERE SMART ENOUGH TO SEE.
AND BY THE WAY, BIDEN WOULD BE
THE WORST OF ALL OF THEM BECAUSE
HIS SON TOOK OUT $1.5 BILLION
AND HE GETS FEES ON $1.5
BILLION.
GIVE ME A BREAK.
CHINA WILL OWN OUR COUNTRY IF
THIS GUY GETS ELECTED.
[APPLAUSE]
SO, SO WE HAVE A BIG ONE COMING.
AND JUST TO FINISH --
ENTHUSIASM.
THEY TAKE THE ENTHUSIASM OUT OF
THE EQUATION BECAUSE THEY WILL
KNOCK ON EVERYBODY'S DOOR.
HERE, WOULD YOU SIGN THIS?
NOBODY KNOWS WHO IS SIGNING
THAT.
THEY WANT TO HAVE IT WHERE THE
SIGNATURE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE
VERIFIED.
THE SIGNATURE DOES NOT HAVE TO
BE VERIFIED.
HOW CAN -- AND THEN THEY WILL
PLAY THE GAME THAT WE ARE NOT
PATRIOTIC.
WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS USING
COVID TO STEAL AN ELECTION.
>> RIGHT.
EXACTLY.
MR. MR. TRUMP: THEY ARE USING
COVID TO DEFRAUD OUR PEOPLE OF A
FREE AND FAIR ELECTION.
[APPLAUSE]
DO NOT LET THEM GIVE YOU THE
POST OFFICE STUFF.
THE POSTAL SERVICE, THEY DO A
GREAT JOB.
LOSE A LOT OF MONEY.
I HAVE SAID IF THEY CHARGED
AMAZON A COUPLE OF DOLLARS MORE
A PACKAGE, THEN AMAZON HAS TO
PAY, NOT THE CUSTOMER.
YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN?
THE POST OFFICE WOULD START
DOING VERY WELL.
AMAZON DUMPS ALL THE PACKAGES,
WHY SHOULD WE DO IT?
IF THEY CHARGED AMAZON, OF
COURSE, HE OWNS THE WASHINGTON
POST, SO WHEN I GET BAD STORIES
IN THE WASHINGTON POST, I WONDER
WHY, BUT I JUST TELL IT LIKE IT
IS, RIGHT?
[APPLAUSE]
WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED MORE DURING
THE FIRST THREE AND A HALF YEARS
OF THIS ADMINISTRATION THAN ANY
PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF OUR
COUNTRY.
I AM NOT EVEN GETTING PUSHBACK.
I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR TWO
YEARS OR THREE YEARS, BUT WE
HAVE DONE MORE -- LET'S SAY JUST
ABOUT, SO THEY CANNOT SAY
SOMEBODY WON A WAR OR SOMETHING
-- JUST ABOUT MORE THAN ANY
ADMINISTRATION IN HISTORY OF OUR
COUNTRY.
WE HAVE SECURED OUR BORDERS.
WE HAVE BUILT OUR WALL, TO WILL
BE FINISHED SHORTLY.
WE HAVE BROUGHT BACK
MANUFACTURING JOBS.
WE HAVE DEFEATED THE ENTIRE ISIS
CALIPHATE AND KILLED ALL
BAGHDADI.
WE HAVE ALSO KILLED THE
GREATEST, BIGGEST TERRORIST,
MAYBE OF THEM ON,  QASEM
SOLEIMANI.
WE APPOINTED 300 NEW JUDGES BY
THE END OF THE FIRST TERM.
WE WILL HAVE APPOINTED 300.
IT IS AN UNHEARD-OF NUMBER.
PRESIDENT OBAMA WAS VERY NICE
AND HE GAVE ME 142 OPENINGS.
HISTORICALLY, HISTORICALLY, YOU
COULD KNOW OPENINGS.
WHEN YOU BECOME PRESIDENT -- THE
FIRST QUESTION IS HOW MANY
JUDGES?
THEY WILL SAY NONE, SIR.
BECAUSE IT IS A VERY IMPORTANT
THING, FEDERAL JUDGES.
WE WILL HAVE APPOINTED 300 -- IT
COULD BE EVEN MORE THAN THAT BY
THE END OF THE FIRST TERM.
FIRST DAY, I SAID, HOW MANY
JUDGES DO I GET TO A POINT?
THEY SAID, 142.
YOU KNOW WHAT, HE THOUGHT
HILLARY WAS GOING TO WIN.
THE REPUBLICANS DID NOT MAKE IT
EASY, BUT IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH
TIME, THERE IS NOT MUCH ANYBODY
CAN DO ABOUT IT.
WE ENDED UP WITH 142 JUDGES AND
WE HAVE ADDED MANY.
WE WILL END UP WITH 300, AND TWO
GREAT SUPREME COURT JUSTICES.
[APPLAUSE]
REMEMBER THIS -- I AM SAYING --
I AM DEMANDING, ACTUALLY, A
LIST.
LET BIDEN PUT UP A LIST OF THE
JUDGES HE IS GOING TO APPOINT.
WE ARE GOING TO TAKE IT OUT OF
THAT LIST.
WE WILL BE ANNOUNCING A LIST IN
THE NEXT WEEK WITH THE JUDGES WE
HAD SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHERE WE
STAND.
HE CANNOT DO IT BECAUSE HE WOULD
APPOINT -- IT IS NOT HIM.
HE HAS NO CHOICE.
THE RADICAL LEFT WILL DEMAND HE
APPOINTS SUPER RADICAL LEFT,
WILD, CRAZY JUSTICES GOING INTO
THE SUPREME COURT.
YOUR AMERICAN DREAM WILL BEHE HD
IF THAT HAPPENS.
IT WILL BE DEAD.
AND BY THE WAY, THE NEXT
PRESIDENT -- I HAVE HAD TWO.
SOME PRESIDENTS HAVE HAD NONE.
I HAVE HAD TWO IN A RELATIVELY
SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, BUT THE
NEXT ONE COULD HAVE 2, 3, 4,
EVEN FIVE.
THIS IS SO IMPORTANT.
WHETHER YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT
LIFE, SECOND AMENDMENT,
MILITARY, THIS IS SO IMPORTANT.
WE HAVE TO DO THIS.
WE HAVE TO WIN THIS ELECTION.
BUT WE BROUGHT BACK
MANUFACTURING, REBUILT OUR
MILITARY, WIPED OUT ISIS.
WHEN I CAME IN, ISIS WAS ALL
OVER.
THE PRESIDENT OF IRAQ WAS IN
LAST WEEK.
HE SAID, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR
DEFEATING ISIS.
I SAID IT ME, OR THE UNITED
STATES?
HE SAID YOU.
YOU DEFEATED HIM, SIR.
I SAID IT, TELL THAT TO THE
MEDIA, PLEASE.
LET'S SEE IF HE DOES.
BUT WE PASSED THE BIGGEST TAX
CUT IN REGULATION CUTS IN THE
HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY.
WE HAVE REPLACED THE WORST TRADE
DEAL EVER MADE, NAFTA, WITH A
GREAT USMCA DEAL THAT WILL KEEP
OUR COMPANIES HERE AND BE
TREATING US VERY NICELY.
I WOULD NOT SAY THE OTHER TWO
COUNTRIES WERE THRILLED WITH IT,
BUT THEY WERE HAPPY ENOUGH.
WE DID THAT, AND THAT IS ANOTHER
THING.
THEY SAID, YOU WILL NEVER BE.
ABLE TO REPLACE NAFTA WE GOT IT.
WE GOT IT THROUGH CONGRESS.
WE FIXED A LOT OF OUR BROKEN
 TRADE DEALS.
WE FIXED A HORRIBLE DEAL THAT
WAS MADE WITH SOUTH KOREA.
REMEMBER, THAT WAS A HILLARY
CLINTON SPECIAL?
SHE SAID THIS WOULD PRODUCE
250,000 JOBS.
SHE WAS RIGHT -- EXCEPT THE JOBS
WENT TO SOUTH KOREA, NOT TO US.
WE STOOD UP TO CHINA LIKE NOBODY
HAS EVER STOOD UP BETWEEN THE
TARIFFS AND THE TRADE DEAL
WHICH, NOW, DO NOT FORGET WHEN I
MADE THAT, THE INK WAS NOT DRIED
BEFORE THE CHINA VIRUS POURED
INTO OUR COUNTRY.
IT IS DONE VERY WELL.
LAST WEEK, THEY HAD THE LARGEST
ORDER OF CORN, THE LARGEST ORDER
OF SOYBEANS.
THEY ARE DOING THINGS.
YOU KNOW, THEY ARE VERY SMART.
A LOT OF PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY SEE
MY ATTITUDE WOULD SAY, WE ARE
NOT GOING TO ORDER.
THEY DO JUST THE OPPOSITE.
THE GREAT SONNY PERDUE IS HERE.
SECRETARY PERDUE.
IS THAT RIGHT, SONNY?
THEY ORDERED THE LARGEST ORDER
OF CORN IN THE HISTORY OF OUR
COUNTRY TWICE.
TWICE.
TWICE.
THE LARGEST ORDER OF CORN.
HERE IS HOW SMART.
SOMEBODY ELSE, RUNNING SOME
COUNTRY, COULD SAY, WE WILL NOT
DO BUSINESS WITH THEM.
CHINA IS VERY SMART.
THEY HAVE ORDERED MORE CORN THAN
WE EVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE,
ORDERED MORE SOYBEANS THAN THEY
EVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE.
NOW I HAVE FARMERS CALLING ME UP
SAYING, SIR, WE LOVE CHINA
VERY MUCH.
PLEASE DO NOT BE TOO TOUGH WITH
THEM.
IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT,
SONNY.
WE DO DUE TO WELL -- WE DO TOO
WELL THE JOB SOMETIMES.
WE HAVE ACHIEVED ENERGY
INDEPENDENCE.
[APPLAUSE]
THESE PHONIES WANT TO END
EVERYTHING WE HAVE DONE.
I THINK THEY BASICALLY WANT TO
CLOSE UP OUR COUNTRY BECAUSE
THEY ARE TAKING AWAY OUR
STRENGTH, BUT THEY WANT TO DO
SOMETHING, BUT THERE IS NO SUCH
THING.
SOLAR CANNOT DO IT.
I LOVE SOLAR.
IT IS ALL FINE.
HEAVILY EXPENSIVE, BUT THEY WANT
TO GO TO OTHER FORMS OF
ALTERNATIVE ENERGY.
I THINK THAT IS OK, EXCEPT WE DO
NOT HAVE THEM.
IT IS NOT GOING TO POWER THESE
MASSIVE FACTORIES.
HYDRO I LOVE.
IT IS ONE OF MY ALL-TIME
FAVORITES.
HYDRO I LOVE, I HAVE TO TELL
YOU.
THE GREAT DAMS.
YOU DO NOT SEE THAT TOO MUCH.
YOU KNOW WHY?
THE ENVIRONMENTALISTS SAY WE
CANNOT BUILD A DAM THERE.
NOW WE CAN.
WE HAVE DONE THINGS NOBODY
THOUGHT WAS POSSIBLE.
FOR EXAMPLE, THE KEYSTONE
PIPELINE.
WE GOT THAT APPROVED.
THE DAKOTA ACCESS PIPELINE.
THEY WERE ALL BOGGED DOWN.
I GOT IT APPROVED.
I GOT THINGS DONE THEY SAID YOU
COULD NOT GET DONE.
WE WERE ENERGY INDEPENDENT AND
THEY SAID WE WANT TO BAN
FRACKING.
RIGHT?
NO FRACKING.
HOW DO YOU THINK THEY WILL DO IN
TEXAS, OKLAHOMA, NORTH DAKOTA,
LOUISIANA.
BASICALLY, THEY WANT NO FOSSIL
FUEL WHATSOEVER.
NO GAS, NO OIL, NO COAL, NO
NOTHING.
OK?
SO THEY DO NOT WANT ANYTHING.
NOW, THEY ARE GETTING KILLED.
THE POLLSTERS CAME OUT IN TEXAS.
TEXAS WAS NOT HAPPY.
THEY WANT NO GUNS, NO OIL AND
GAS, AND THEY WANT KNOW GOD.
SO IT IS NO RELIGION, NO GUNS,
RIGHT?
NO OIL AND GAS.
I DO NOT THINK YOU WILL DO TO
GET IN TEXAS -- YOU WILL DO TOO
GOOD IN TEXAS.
YOU KNOW, GEORGE WASHINGTON
COULD COME BACK AND CHOOSE AS
HIS VP THE GREAT ABRAHAM
LINCOLN, AND YOU WILL NOT WIN
TEXAS IF YOU HAVE NO OIL, NO
GUNS, AND NO RELIGION.
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO WIN TOO
MANY PLACES.
[APPLAUSE]
WE ELIMINATED OBAMACARE'S
HORRIBLE INDIVIDUAL MANDATE,
WHICH BASICALLY KNOCKED OUT
OBAMACARE.
WE HAVE PROTECTED YOUR SECOND
AMENDMENT, SO IMPORTANT.
WE HAVE CUT DRUG PRICES, FIRST
TIME IN 51 YEARS.
WE GOT DRUG PRICES DOWN.
I DID A FAVORED NATIONS CLAUSE,
MEANING WE PAY THE SAME PRICE AS
THE LOWEST COUNTRY THAT HAS THE
BEST DEAL.
THE COMPANIES ARE GOING CRAZY,
THE DRUG COMPANIES.
THEY ARE TAKING ADS ON ME.
I WENT TO MARK MEADOWS.
I SAID IT, MARK, THEY ARE
KILLING ME.
THEY HAVE NOTHING BUT CASH.
BIG PHARMA THEY CALL IT, FOR A
REASON.
NOBODY GIVES THE POLITICIANS
MORE MONEY THAN BIG PHARMA.
NOBODY, NOT EVEN CLOSE.
I SAID, IF YOU WILL NOT
NEGOTIATE A FAIR DEAL, WE WILL
DO A FAVORED NATIONS CLAUSE.
THEY SAID, DO NOT DO THAT STUFF.
FAVORED NATIONS -- BECAUSE, YOU
KNOW, WE HAVE COUNTRIES OUT
THERE THAT ARE PAYING A TINY
FRACTION OF WHAT OUR PEOPLE ARE
EXPECTED TO PAY, SO IF YOU HAVE
A COUNTRY, GERMANY OR OTHERS
-- BY THE WAY, U.K., ALL OF
EUROPE, CANADA PAYS 50% LESS.
PEOPLE LEAVE OUR COUNTRY, GO TO
CANADA, PICK UP THEIR DRUGS, AND
THEN THEY GO BACK HOME.
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?
SO I SAY, I WANT A FAVORED
NATIONS CLAUSE.
I ALSO WANT A REBATE CLAUSE.
INSTEAD OF THE MONEY GOING TO
THE MIDDLEMAN -- THEY WOULD HAVE
TO BE THE RICHEST PEOPLE IN THE
WORLD.
AT LEAST THE DRUG COMPANIES MAKE
A PRODUCT.
I WIPED OUT THE REBATE.
I INSTITUTED WHAT IS CALLED A
FAVORED NATIONS CLAUSE.
IT IS VERY SIMPLE.
YOU HAVE THAT IN DEALS.
IT IS, WHATEVER THE LOWEST PRICE
IN THE WORLD, WE ARE THE BIGGEST
PURCHASER OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS
BY FAR IN THE WORLD.
SO WHATEVER THE LOWEST PRICE IS
THAT OTHER COUNTRIES PAY -- SO
IF YOU HAVE A COUNTRY PAYING
$.10 FOR A PILL AND WE ARE
PAYING $2.50, THEN WE GET IT FOR
$.10.
WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT THEY WILL
GO UP A LITTLE BIT, WE WILL COME
WAY DOWN.
FAVORED NATIONS.
I WANT TO PAY WITH THE LOWEST
PRICE IS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
WE ARE THE BIGGEST PURCHASER.
WE WANT A FAVORED NATIONS.
THEY HAD A HEART ATTACK AND THEN
I SIGNED IT.
THEY DID NOT BELIEVE IT.
[APPLAUSE]
AND NOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS
THEY HAVE-- MAYBE EVEN MORE THAN
PRESCRIPTION DRUG PRICES.
WOULD IT NOT BE A KICK IN THE
ASS IF I LOST, SLEEPY JOE IS
PRESIDENT, AND THIS THING KICKS
IN IN 40 DAYS?
PEOPLE WAKE UP AFTER THE
ELECTION.
BOY, BIDEN HAS DONE A GREAT JOB.
MY DRUG PRICES JUST WENT DOWN BY
70%.
WHAT A GREAT PRESIDENT HE HAS
BEEN.
AND SLEEPY JOE WOULD SAY, I
THOUGHT ABOUT THAT, BUT
EVERYBODY KNEW ABOUT FAVORED
NATIONS.
I WAS CALLED BY MANY
POLITICIANS -- "PLEASE DO NOT DO
IT, SIR."
I SAID WHY?
THEY DO NOT WANT TO TELL ME WHY.
I KNOW WHY.
THEY HAVE BEEN HELPED OUT.
I GUESS WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND
THAT TO.
BUT THE FACT IS WE HAVE SIGNED A
FAVORED NATIONS CLAUSE IN YOUR
NUMBERS WILL COME DOWN 60%, 70%,
AND I HOPE YOU REMEMBER THAT ON
NOVEMBER 3 BECAUSE NOBODY BID ME
WOULD EVER DO IT -- NOBODY BUT
ME WOULD EVER DO IT.
THE OTHER THING I HAVE DONE
BESIDES VERY STRONGLY PROTECTING
YOUR SECOND AMENDMENT, WHICH WAS
NOT EASY.
AND BY THE WAY, THEY WILL TAKE
YOUR GUNS AWAY IT SURE IS YOU
ARE STANDING THERE.
THEY WILL TAKE YOUR GUNS AWAY OR
R OBLITERATE THE SECOND
AMENDMENT.
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU GO TO
PORTLAND, WHEN YOU SEE HOW WEAK
THOSE DEMOCRATS ARE, THEY ARE
PATHETIC.
THEY ARE SAYING, LET US COME IN
AND SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS.
WE WILL SOLVE IT IN ONE HOUR,
JUST LIKE WE DID IN MINNEAPOLIS.
FIVE NIGHTS, SIX NIGHTS.
LET US COME IN.
WE WILL SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM.
THEY ARE ALMOST USE TO IT.
THIS IS THE WAY OUR WHOLE
COUNTRY WOULD BE IF YOU EVER LET
ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN.
SO, WE PROTECTED YOUR
PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS, VERY
STRONGLY.
AND YOU NOT HEAR THAT, BUT WE'RE
 STRONGLY PROTECTED
PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS.
WE ELIMINATED THE HORRIBLE
INDIVIDUAL MANDATE.
EVERY REPUBLICAN IS SWORN TO
PROTECTING YOUR PRE-EXISTING
CONDITIONS.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT.
YOU WILL NOT HEAR THAT.
YOU WILL NOT HEAR THAT FROM THE
FAKE NEWS.
WE PASSED RIGHT TO TRY, WE
PASSED V.A. ACCOUNTABILITY AND
V.A. CHOICE, WE MOBILIZED THE
LARGEST RESPONSE SINCE THE
SECOND WORLD WAR.
WE ARE DOING AN INCREDIBLE JOB
ON THE CHINA VIRUS, BUT I WILL
TALK TO YOU ABOUT THAT THURSDAY
NIGHT.
WILL ANYBODY BE LISTENING ON
THURSDAY, BY THE WAY?
[APPLAUSE]
JUST VERY QUICKLY, AND THE
SECOND TERM, AMONG MANY OTHER
THINGS, WE WILL CONTINUE WITH
THE MILITARY.
WE HAVE BUILT THE STRONGEST
MILITARY BY FAR.
IT WAS DEPLETED.
IT WAS DEPLETED LIKE YOU WOULD
NOT BELIEVE.
WE HAVE THE BEST JETS AND
ROCKETS AND EQUIPMENT OF ANY
TIME -- TANKS, TANKS MADE IN
OHIO, LIMA.
WE WILL CREATE 10 MILLION
JOBS, I THINK IN THE FIRST
MONTH.
THEY WANT TO RAISE YOUR
TAXES.
THIS IS THE ONLY ELECTION WHERE
SOMEBODY HAS SAID IT, WE ARE
GOING TO RAISE YOUR TAXES.
THEY ARE GOING TO QUADRUPLE YOUR
TAXES, THEY ARE GOING TO ADD ON
TO THE REGULATIONS, SO THESE
PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE STARTED
WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET BILL.
THEY ARE GOING TO RAISE YOUR
TAXES, RAISE YOUR REGULATIONS TO
MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO BUILD A
HIGHWAY.
IT USED TO TAKE EIGHT YEARS, 10
YEARS, 21 YEARS TO GET APPROVAL
TO BUILD A HIGHWAY.
WE HAVE IT DOWN TO TWO YEARS.
WE WILL HAVE IT DOWN TO ONE.
IT MAY GET REJECTED, BUT WE WILL
KNOW VERY QUICKLY.
WE ARE NOT GOING TO WAIT SEVEN
YEARS.
THEY ARE COSTING 100 TIMES MORE
AND THEY ARE NOT AS GOOD.
SOME OF THEM GO IN CIRCLES TO
GET TO A POINT.
THEY WANT TO MISS A CERTAIN
NEST.
LET'S PAY 37 MILLION TO MISS A
NEST.
LOOK -- WE HAVE TO BE SMART.
ALSO, WE ARE GOING TO CREATE TAX
CREDITS FOR COMPANIES THAT BRING
BACK JOBS FROM CHINA AND OTHER
COUNTRIES AND IMPOSE TARIFFS ON
COUNTRIES THAT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
THE UNITED STATES, AS THEY HAVE
BEEN FOR YEARS AND YEARS.
I HAVE ALREADY DONE IT IN
CERTAIN CASES.
WE HAVE CERTAIN COUNTRIES THAT
TERRIFY US AND -- THAT TARIFF US
AND WE DO NOT TARIFF THEM.
IT'S SIMPLE.
THEY TARIFF US, WE TARIFF THEM.
WE ARE GOING TO HIRE MORE
POLICE.
[APPLAUSE]
WE ARE GOING TO GO WITH SCHOOL
CHOICE.
WE HAVE MADE A LOT OF PROGRESS
ON SCHOOL CHOICE FOR EVERY
STUDENT IN AMERICA.
WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO
EXPAND OPPORTUNITY ZONES.
THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING BETTER,
DON'T FORGET.
IT WAS US, US, TOGETHER THEY GOT
CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM DONE,
THE GREATEST THING FOR THE BLACK
COMMUNITY, AFRICAN-AMERICAN
COMMUNITY.
THEY CAME AND THEY SAID, WE
CANNOT BELIEVE IT.
OBAMA DID NOT EVEN TRY.
NOT ONLY THAT, I GOT FUNDED THE
HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES AND
UNIVERSITIES.
I GOT THAT -- I GOT THEM FUNDED.
THEY WERE NOT FUNDED.
THEY WERE YEAR-TO-YEAR.
THEY DID NOT KNOW IF THEY WERE
GOING TO BE AROUND FOR ANOTHER
YEAR.
THEY WOULD COME INTO THE WHITE
HOUSE.
AFTER THREE YEARS, I SAID, WHY
DO YOU KEEP COMING BACK?
IT IS A YEAR-TO-YEAR DEAL.
I SAID, THAT IS NOT FAIR.
WE GOT THEM LONG-TERM FINANCING
AND LONG-TERM FUNDING.
NOBODY HAS DONE MORE FOR THE
HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES AND
UNIVERSITIES THE DONALD TRUMP.
NOBODY.
NOBODY HAS DONE MORE FOR THE
AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY, NO
PRESIDENT HAS DONE AS MUCH
SENSE, I MEAN, AND I SAY IT
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
IT'S TRUE.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM,
OPPORTUNITY ZONES, WITH TIM
SCOTT OF SOUTH CAROLINA, A GREAT
SENATOR AND A GREAT GENTLEMAN.
TIM SCOTT IS FANTASTIC.
OPPORTUNITY ZONES.
BUT THINK OF IT.
OPPORTUNITY ZONES.
WHAT WE HAVE DONE HAS BEEN
AMAZING.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS,
PRIOR TO THE VIRUS, THE GREATEST
JOB NUMBERS IN THE HISTORY OF
THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY,
THE HISPANIC COMMUNITY, AND THE
ASIAN, AS I SAID.
I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY.
WE ARE GOING TO GET RID OF OUR
SANCTUARY CITIES AS SOON AS WE
CAN SO THAT THEY DO NOT PROTECT
--
[APPLAUSE]
WE PUT NASA BACK IN ACTION.
NASA HAD GRASS GROWING THROUGH
ITS RUNWAY.
IT HAD GRASS GROWING THROUGH THE
CRACKS OF ITS RUNWAYS.
IT WAS CLOSED ESSENTIALLY.
JUST A DISASTER.
NOW IT IS THE NUMBER ONE SPACE
CENTER ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD BY
FAR.
YOU SAW THE SHIPS GOING UP.
FOR SOME REASON, A LOT OF RICH
PEOPLE LIKE ROCKETS GOING UP, SO
WE SAY, LET'S LEASE THEM OUR
BEAUTIFUL LAUNCHING AREAS.
THEY PAY FOR IT.
WE ARE GOING TO MARS.
WE WILL BE THE FIRST ON MARS.
WE HAVE TO DO IT.
IF WE ARE HERE, IT IS GOING TO
HAPPEN.
IF IT IS SOMEBODY ELSE, PROBABLY
NOT.
I WANT TO THANK YOU FROM THE
BOTTOM OF MY HEART.
YOU ARE INCREDIBLE WARRIORS.
YOU HAVE INCREDIBLE STRENGTH.
YOU HAVE UNBELIEVABLE
INTELLIGENCE AND PATIENCE.
IS A COMBINATION OF BOTH.
I DO NOT KNOW WHICH IS
 GREATER, THE INTELLIGENCER
THE PATIENT'S, BUT LET'S SAY THE
INTELLIGENCE.
WE HAVE THE GREATEST SUPPORT OF
ANYWHERE, ANYTIME, IN ANY
ELECTION, AND I THINK PEOPLE ARE
STARTING TO FIND OUT.
THEY FOUND OUT IN 2016, AND I
WILL BE HONEST, THIS ELECTION, I
BELIEVE WE HAVE FAR GREATER
ENTHUSIASM IN THIS ELECTION.
AND WE HAD A LEVEL THAT WAS A
RECORD.
BECAUSE THEY STILL DO NOT
BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED.
THEY SAID IT, WE STILL DO NOT
BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED?
GREAT AMERICANS WHO NEVER VOTED
BECAUSE THEY DID NOT LIKE WHO
THEY WERE WATCHING OR LOOKING.
I WILL NEVER FORGET IT.
A CONGRESSMAN FROM TENNESSEE
CAME UP.
THEY DO EARLY VOTING.
TENNESSEE, GREAT STATE.
THEY JUST STARTED VOTING AND I
WAS IN PENNSYLVANIA MAKING A
SPEECH.
HE SAID, SIR, I DO NOT KNOW, BUT
I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR A
LONG TIME.
HE SAID, I HAVE NEVER SEEN
ANYTHING LIKE IT.
PEOPLE ARE COMING FROM THE
VALLEYS AND THE HILLTOPS.
THEY ARE COMING FROM ALL OVER.
THEY ARE COMING OUT OF THE
RIVERS.
COMING ALONG THOSE BEAUTIFUL WAR
FIELDS WE HAVE.
SIR, I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING
LIKE IT.
OTHER STATER -- BUT IF OTHER
STATES ARE LIKE TENNESSEE,
YOU'RE GOING TO WIN.
THEY CAME FROM THE MOUNTAINS,
FROM EVERYWHERE.
HE SAID, I HAVE NEVER SEEN
ANYTHING LIKE IT.
PEOPLE, THESE WERE PEOPLE THAT
WERE NEVER POLITICAL PEOPLE.
THEY NEVER WERE A PIN IN THEIR
LIFE HAVING TO DO WITH POLITICS.
IT HAS BEEN AN INCREDIBLE
EXPERIENCE FOR ME.
AND I TELL YOU WHAT, IT IS GOING
TO BE A GREAT YEAR.
IT WILL BE A YEAR OF TREMENDOUS
SUCCESS.
WE ARE FIGHTING OFF THIS
HORRIBLE THING THAT WAS
DELIVERED BY CHINA.
AND IT WAS BY CHINA, AND WE ARE
NEVER GOING TO FORGET IT.
WE ARE NEVER GOING TO FORGET
WHAT THEY DID.
BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT?
WE ARE GOING TO DO GREAT
ECONOMIC -- [APPLAUSE]
--  [NO AUDIO]
WE ARE GOING TO DO BETTER
ECONOMICALLY THAN WE DID LAST
YEAR, BUT WE CAN NEVER FORGET
THE 175,000 PEOPLE, WHICH WILL
GO UP.
REMEMBER THIS, THOUGH.
WE SAVED MILLIONS.
IF I DID NOT PUT THE BAN ON
HEAVILY INFECTED PEOPLE COMING
TO OUR NATION FROM CHINA, THAT
EVERYBODY TOLD ME NOT TO DO,
MONTHS LATER THEY WERE SAYING WE
SHOULDN'T -- AND THEN THEY
APOLOGIZED OR ADMITTED IT WAS
RIGHT.
AND EUROPE.
I DID EUROPE VERY EARLY.
IF WE DID NOT DO THAT, OUR
NUMBERS WOULD BE AT A LEVEL LIKE
YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE.
SO, I JUST WANT TO THANK
EVERYBODY FOR THIS INCREDIBLE
SUPPORT.
BE VERY, VERY CAREFUL.
THIS IS GOING TO BE, AND I
REALLY BELIEVE THIS, THE MOST
IMPORTANT ELECTION IN THE
HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY.
>> IT IS.
MR. TRUMP: DO NOT LET THEM TAKE
IT AWAY FROM YOU.
[APPLAUSE]
NORTH CAROLINA, I LOVE YOU.
THAT IS WHY I AM HERE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
VERY SPECIAL PEOPLE.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
THANK YOU.
