FOUR 
MORE YEARS.
WELCOME TO DAY ONE OF THE 
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION. 
I'M LINDY CASEY AND YOU'RE 
WATCHING A SPECIAL REPORT FROM 
THE WASHINGTON POST. THE 
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION GOT 
UNDERWAY THIS MORNING IN 
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA. HER 
DELEGATES HEARD AN IN PERSON 
MEETING AND WILL CALL TO 
OFFICIALLY NOMINATE DONALD 
TRUMP. TONIGHT THE PRIME TIME 
PROGRAMMING BEGINS. THE 
PRESIDENT HAS PROMISED A WEEK OF
OPTIMISM BUT IN A SPEECH EARLIER
THIS MORNING HE ATTACKED 
DEMOCRATS AND ABSENTEE VOTING. 
WITH ME TONIGHT FOR THE LATEST 
NEWS AND ANALYSIS, KAREN 
PENALTY, COLONIST 
COVERING POLITICS, RHONDA COVEN 
AND JAMES HOMAN NATIONAL 
POLITICAL REPORTER. I'LL COME TO
YOU WELL, KAREN LET'S START 
WITH YOU, WHAT DOES THE 
PRESIDENT NEED TO ACCOMPLISH 
THIS WEEK? 
>> I THINK THAT HE NEEDS TO 
CONVINCE AMERICANS AND I THINK 
HE NEEDS TO REACH OUT BROADER, 
THEN HIS BASE. TO CONVINCE 
AMERICANS ESSENTIALLY TO GIVE 
THEM FOUR MORE YEARS. THAT 
HE SUCCEEDED THAT HE IS 
DELIVERED, AND THAT HE HAS A 
PLAN FOR GETTING US OUT OF THIS 
ECONOMIC AND HEALTH CRISIS BEEN 
SPARKED BY THE 
CORONAVIRUS. 
>>
RHONDA COVEN CERTAINLY AN 
UNPRECEDENTED TIME IN AMERICAN 
HISTORY TO BE RUNNING FOR 
REELECTION TO BE MAKING A CASE 
TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, TALK TO 
US ABOUT WHAT WE WILL BE SEEING 
THIS WEEK WITH THE EFFORT WILL 
BE BY THE RNC, TO GIVE 
TRUMP THAT
WIND IN HIS SALE, TO GO INTO THE
CAMPAIGN SEASON? 
>> FIRST OF ALL THE RNC A LOT OF
THE BUSINESS AND THE REASON WHY 
THE PARTY CONVENES THAT WAS 
HANDLED BETWEEN YESTERDAY, AND 
TODAY. AND AT THROUGHOUT THE 
REST OF THIS WEEK ESPECIALLY 
DURING THE NIGHTTIME PRIME TIME,
BROADCAST PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS A 
LONG LIST OF SUPPORTERS AND 
LOYALISTS AND ADVOCATES WILL BE 
SPEAKING ON HIS BEHALF. AND 
TODAY, WE JUST FOUND OUT SOME OF
THE SPEAKERS AND THE ORDER THAT 
WILL BE HAPPENING AND IT LOOKS 
LIKE WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO IS
HAVE 20 SPEAKERS TODAY. SOME OF 
THEM ARE KNOWN INDIVIDUALS, YOU 
MENTIONED NIKKI HALEY OF FORMER 
U.N. AMBASSADOR THERE IS 
ALSO 
STEVE'S RELEASE.
THERE IS GOING TO BE AVERAGE 
CITIZENS WHO ARE ALSO GOING TO 
BE A PART OF TODAY'S LINEUP 
THERE'S GOING TO BE A WOMAN WHO 
WAS A COFFEE SHOP OWNER IN 
MONTANA AND SHE REQUESTED A PPP,
ALONE AND FOR HER SMALL BUSINESS
TO STOP STAY AFLOAT DURING 
THE CORONAVIRUS
YOU WILL HEAR FROM HER, YOU WILL
HEAR FROM AN EDUCATOR, WHO IS A 
STAUNCH ADVOCATE FOR THE 
PRESIDENT ABOUT ANTI-EDUCATION 
UNIONS. THERE IS A LOT OF VOICES
TONIGHT I THINK ONE OF THE 
THINGS THEY WILL HIT ON IS GUN 
RIGHTS, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THE 
COUPLE FROM ST. LOUIS WHO 
POINTED GUNS AT PROTESTERS WHO 
PASSED BY THEIR HOME DURING THE 
PROTEST AFTER THE GEORGE FLOYD 
CASE, SO THERE IS A LOT OF 
VOICES LIKE I SAID THERE IS A 
LITTLE OVER 20 SPEAKERS TONIGHT 
WHO 
WILL ALL BE TALKING ABOUT HOW 
THEY SEE THIS PRESIDENT MOVING 
FORWARD IN THE NEXT FOUR YEARS. 
>> THANK YOU RHONDA, 
LET'S BRING JAMES INTO THE 
CONVERSATION. THIS IS HOT OFF 
THE PRESS WE HAVE BEEN WAITING 
IN SUSPENSE TO GET A BETTER 
SENSE OF WHAT WE WOULD BE SING 
TONIGHT, TELL US ABOUT HOW 
ORGANIZED WE ARE, WHO IS SORT OF
PULLING THE 
STRINGS HERE YOU KNOW, THERE IS 
DRAMA AND EXCITEMENT THAT COMES 
INTO NOT KNOWING UNTIL THE LAST 
MINUTE WHAT IS HAPPENING BUT 
THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF FEAR 
CHAOS AS WELL. DONALD TRUMP IS A
SHOWMAN HE'S OUR FIRST REALITY 
TELEVISION PRESIDENT. TWO OF THE
PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN WORKING ON 
PUTTING THIS PRODUCTION TOGETHER
ACTUALLY WORKED WITH TRUMP, ON 
THE APPRENTICE, THE REALITY TV 
SHOW THAT MADE HIM ONE OF THEM 
WAS THE 
PRODUCER OF THE MISS UNIVERSE 
PAGEANT, AND ONE WAS A JUDGE IN 
THE CONTEST, AND THE PRESIDENT 
AS A SHOWMAN LIKES SOME 
SUSPENSE, BUT THEY ALSO HAVE HAD
A FAR LESS TIME 
TO PLAN THAN THE DEMOCRATS DID, 
TRUMP HAS BEEN FAR MORE HANDS-ON
IN PLANNING THE SCHEDULE BUT JOE
BIDEN WAS DURING THE DEMOCRATIC 
CONVENTION LAST WEEK. UNTIL VERY
RECENTLY, TRUMP WAS INSISTING HE
WANTED A LARGE IN PERSON RALLY, 
THAT'S WHY THEY MOVED IT FROM 
CHARLOTTE TO 
JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA, WHEN NORTH
CAROLINA HEALTH OFFICIALS 
WOULDN'T LET TRUMP HAVE A FULL 
STADIUM THAT JACKSONVILLE 
OFFICIALS WHO THEY ORIGINALLY 
GONE TO BECAUSE THEY WERE 
FRIENDLY REPUBLICAN SAID THEY 
COULDN'T DEAL 
WITH IT FROM THE PUBLIC HEALTH 
ELEMENT TO THE SECURITY ELEMENT.
SO THEN, THEY KIND OF PULL THE 
PLUG, 
RELUCTANTLY ON A LARGE IN PERSON
AT BIG ARENA TRADITIONAL 
CONVENTION THAT THE PRESIDENT 
WANTED AND THE PRESIDENT WAS 
WATCHING THE DNC ALL FOUR NIGHTS
LAST WEEK, REPORTING TELLS US 
TRUMP WAS TAKING NOTES. DURING 
THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION, 
LOOKING FOR WHAT HE LIKED AND 
DIDN'T LIKE, WE ARE TOLD HE 
DIDN'T LIKE THE TELETHON 
ZOOM MEETING FEEL OF THE 
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION I WANTED 
TO AVOID THAT THAT'S WHY WERE 
GOING TO HAVE SOME IN PERSON 
SPEECHES, THAT KIND OF RE-CREATE
THE FEEL OF A TRADITIONAL RALLY 
A 
LITTLE BIT. AND IT MAKES UP THE 
BACKDROPS AND THE BACKGROUNDS. 
BUT THE PRESIDENT IS VERY 
HANDS-ON HERE, AND HE DOES WANT 
SOME ELEMENT 
OF SURPRISE, THIS WAS TRUE IN 
2016 DURING THE CONVENTION IN 
CLEVELAND WHEN HE KIND OF 
UNEXPECTEDLY WOULD COME OUT AND 
TALK TO THE CROWD. BUT, I THINK 
THERE ARE STILL SOME SURPRISES 
UP 
THEIR SLEEVES. 
>>> LET'S LISTEN IN. 
>> ARKANSAS, THE NATURAL STATE. 
THE REDDEST STATE NOT ONLY IN 
THE SOUTH, BUT IN THE 
ENTIRE NATION.
THE HOME OF JOHNNY CASH, OF 
COUNTRY MUSIC FAME, AND DAISY 
BATES, CIVIL RIGHTS LEADER TO 
THE LITTLE ROCK NINE. BOTH OF 
WHOM WILL BE MEMORIALIZED IN THE
U.S. CAPITAL. THE NUMBER ONE 
PRODUCER OF RICE, 49% OF THE 
NATIONS RISE, IS RAISED BY 
ARKANSAS FARMERS. THE WORLD 
SHOPS 
AT ARKANSAS-BASED WALMART. AND 
DINES ON TYSON FOODS. AS 
ARKANSAS AND TRAVELERS FLED TO 
THE NATIONAL BUFFALO RIVER ON A 
DAILY BASIS, THEY ALSO DIG FOR 
DIAMONDS AT THE NATION'S ONLY 
DIAMOND MINE. ARKANSAS, THE 
STATE THAT GAVE DONALD J TRUMP A
30% MARGIN OF VICTORY OVER 
FORMER RESIDENT 
CROOKED HILLARY. AND WILL DO SO 
AGAIN, OVER THE RADICAL 
DEMOCRATIC TICKET, THAT HAS 
EMERGED OUT OF THE DEMOCRATIC DC
SWAMP. ARKANSAS, 
PROUDLY CAST IT'S 40 VOTES FOR 
DONALD J 
TRUMP. 
>> SERVED FROM THE SPEECHES THIS
MORNING THE ROLL CALL 
JAMES HOMAN THAT DOES GIVE US A 
FLAVOR OF WHAT WE SAW AND HEARD 
THIS MORNING. 
>> IT REALLY CAPTURES WHAT IT 
WAS LIKE THIS MORNING, A 
DIFFERENT VIBE THAN THE 
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION LAST WEEK 
WHERE THEY KIND OF CAME IN FROM 
ALL OVER THE COUNTRY PEOPLE HERE
ACTUALLY DID SORT OF FLY 
INTO CHARLOTTE, TO HAVE THE 
TRADITIONAL ROLL CALL, IT LOOKED
MORE LIKE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. 
WHICH IS AN OLDER WIDER, MORE 
MALE-DOMINATED PARTY THAN IT DID
AMERICA. BUT, YOU KNOW THERE WAS
STILL YOU KNOW, IT IS FUN TO 
HEAR STATES PUT THEIR BEST FOOT 
FORWARD, AND THE STUFF THAT THEY
ARE PROUD OF. YOU KNOW, THIS IS 
THE QUADRENNIAL PROCESS, AND 
THAT REALLY WAS WHAT IT WAS LIKE
FOR IT AND ALL 57 STATES AND 
TERRITORIES 
WENT THROUGH THE REPORTS. 
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP IS EXPECTED 
TO GIVE HIS EXPECTANCE SPEECH ON
THURSDAY BUT HE DID MAKE AN 
APPEARANCE TODAY AT THE RNC 
IN CHARLOTTE. JOYCE KOH IS LIVE 
OUTSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE. WHAT IS
THE PRESIDENT BEEN DOING TO THE 
LEAD UP OF THIS WE? 
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS BEEN 
RAMPING UP HIS  CAMPAIGN 
SCHEDULE AND THE LEFT COUPLE OF 
WEEKS. ALL OF LAST WEEK HE WAS 
KIND 
OF AROUND ALL OF THE KEY 
BATTLEGROUND STATES IN MINNESOTA
AND WISCONSIN, WE SAW HIM IN 
IOWA, AND GOING DOWN TO ARIZONA,
HE HAS HELD RALLIES TALKING TO 
VOTERS AND JUST YESTERDAY WE SAW
HIM GETTING A BRIEFING, FROM THE
WHITE 
HOUSE ON
COVID-19 UPDATES, SAYING HE WAS 
GOING TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY 
AUTHORIZATION FOR THE USE OF 
CONVALESCENT PLASMA. NOW TODAY 
HE WAS IN NORTH CAROLINA, HE WAS
IN ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA 
SPEAKING AT A FOOD DISTRIBUTION 
CENTER THERE. BUT BEFORE THAT, 
HE WAS IN CHARLOTTE SPEAKING AT 
THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION TO THE
GROUP OF STATE DELEGATES, THAT 
WERE IN ATTENDANCE TAKE A LISTEN
TO WHAT HE HAD TO SAY. 
>> THIS IS BIG STUFF, THIS IS 
STEALING MILLIONS OF VOTES, AND 
IT'S 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, WERE GOING 
TO WIN THIS ELECTION. THE ONLY 
WAY THEY CAN TAKE THIS ELECTION,
AWAY FROM US. IS 
IS IF THIS IS A RIGGED ELECTION.
WE'RE GOING TO WIN THIS 
ELECTION. 
>> NOW PRESIDENT TRUMP HAD MADE 
THIS UNFOUNDED CLAIM, NUMEROUS 
TIMES SAYING THAT MAIL IN 
VOTING, WILL LEAD TO WIDESPREAD 
FRAUD, THAT IS REFUTED BY THE 
DATA AS WELL AS WHAT ELECTION 
OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN TELLING US 
ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THAT 
MAILING IN YOUR BALLOT IS ONE OF
THE SAFEST WAYS TO CONDUCT AN 
ELECTION. THIS YEAR, ESPECIALLY 
WITH THE PANDEMIC. PRESIDENT 
TRUMP RHETORIC AROUND 
MAIL IN
BALLOTING IS ALSO SOMETHING THAT
IS A CONCERN TO SOME REPUBLICAN 
LEADERS IN THE COUNTRY, WHO ARE 
AFRAID OF WHAT IT COULD DO, TO 
THE GOP PROSPECT COME NOVEMBER. 
AND OF COURSE, PRESIDENT TRUMP 
HIMSELF HAS VOTED BY MAIL 
CAPTAINING HIS ABSENTEE VOTE IN 
FLORIDA LAST WEEK DESPITE HIS 
CRITICISM OF THE PROCESS. LIBBY,
THANK YOU. 
>> LET'S GO BACK TO KAREN 
TUMULTY, 
WHO DOES PRESIDENT TRUMP NEED TO
MOTIVATE AND ACTIVATE KAREN, I 
WANT TO SAY FIRST WE SAW 
REPUBLICAN I'M SORRY 
DEMOCRAT APPEALS
TO BRINGING PEOPLE ON THE FENCE 
OR CONSERVATIVES OVER. WE ALSO 
SAW THE DEMOCRATS DO SUCH AN 
EFFORT TO GET OUT THE VOTE. 
MICHELLE OBAMA WEARING A 
NECKLACE, THAT SAID VOTE. 
COMPARED TO WHAT THE DEMOCRATS 
WERE TRYING TO DO AND WHO THEY 
WERE TRYING TO MOTIVATE AND WHO 
HAS TRUMP GOT TO MOTIVATE? ? 
IT'S STRIKING HOW MANY OF THE 
SPEAKERS AND THE DEMOCRATIC 
CONVENTION WERE ACTUALLY 
REPUBLICANS. PEOPLE WHO USED TO 
BE CONSIDERED STALLINGS OF THE 
REPUBLICAN PARTY. 
COLIN POWELL, FORMER SECRETARY 
OF STATE, YOU KNOW JOHN KASICH. 
YOU KNOW GIVEN FINE SPEAKING 
SPOTS. WHAT THE REPUBLICANS SEEM
TO BE DOING IS DIGGING DOWN INTO
THEIR 
BASE. AND YOU KNOW, WE WILL SEE 
IF THEY PRESENT A RATIONALE FOR 
A SECOND TERM. A RATIONALE TO 
CONVINCE PEOPLE, WHO VOTED FOR 
DONALD TRUMP IN 2016, BUT MAYBE 
AREN'T SO SURE RIGHT NOW, TO 
COME BACK INTO THE FOLD. BUT, 
CERTAINLY WHAT WE HAVE HEARD 
SO FAR, IS REALLY THEM JUST 
DIGGING DOWN INTO THEIR OWN 
BASE. NOT TRYING TO EXPAND AT 
ALL. AND, THE TERM OF ALL OF 
THIS REMINDS ME, A LITTLE BIT OF
THE 
ONE OF THE MOST DISASTROUS 
CONVENTIONS IN MODERN HISTORY. 
WHICH WAS THE 1992 CONVENTION 
WHERE GEORGE HERBERT WALKER BUSH
WAS RUNNING FOR A SECOND TERM, 
IT WAS 
A TIME WHEN YOU KNOW, THE 
COUNTRY WAS IN A PRETTY DEEP 
RECESSION. AND WHAT 
HAPPENED IS ONE SPEAKER AFTER 
ANOTHER GOT UP AND GAVE THESE 
ANGRY SPEECHES REALLY ALL ABOUT 
SOCIAL ISSUES, NOT MUCH KIND OF 
TOUCHING THE LIVES OF YOU KNOW, 
THE DAILY STRUGGLE OF AVERAGE 
AMERICANS. AND I THINK THAT IS 
THE REAL DANGER HERE AS WELL, 
YOU KNOW I JUST DON'T THINK THAT
IF THEY GET UP WHERE WITH 
CONSPIRACY THEORIES AND ANGER, 
AND 
SCARING PEOPLE,
I JUST DON'T THINK THEY'RE GOING
TO EXPAND THEIR BASE AT ALL. 
>> THE PRESIDENT HAS PROMISED TO
GIVE AN OPTIMISTIC PORTRAYAL OF 
THE AMERICAN FUTURE BUT THAT IS 
NOT WHAT WE HAVE HEARD FROM HIM 
TODAY. 
>> IT IS NOT WHAT WE HAVE HEARD 
FROM ANY OF THE OTHER SPEAKERS, 
THAT HAVE BEEN SORT OF BUZZING 
GROUND GIVING SPEECHES, I 
INTERVIEWED CONGRESSMAN JIM 
JORDAN TODAY FOR "THE WASHINGTON
POST" LIVE, HE 
ACTUALLY RECORDED HIS SPEECH 
LAST THURSDAY, BUT CERTAINLY THE
PREVIEW THAT HE GAVE OF IT DID 
NOT SOUND LIKE AN OPTIMISTIC 
UPLIFTING SPEECH.
>>> THIS REALLY HAS 
BECOME THE PARTY OF DONALD 
TRUMP. 
>> YOU CAN TELL FROM THE RUNDOWN
THAT HE LIKELY HAD A VERY BIG 
HAND IN DESIGNING WHAT TONIGHT 
LOOKED LIKE SOME OF THE SPEAKERS
KAREN MENTIONED, JIM JORDAN, OF 
OHIO. HE IS ONE OF THE FIERCEST 
ALLIES OF TRUMP ON THIS HILL. 
I WATCHED
JIM JORDAN THE APPEASEMENT 
TRAIL, HE MOVED AROUND SOME 
COMMITTEE SO HE COULD BE ON THE 
THREE COMMITTEES THAT HANDLED 
THE IMPEACHMENT PROCESS IN THE 
HOUSE. HE'S ONE OF THE BIGGEST 
ADVOCATES FOR THE PRESIDENT. 
WITH HIM BEING IN THE LINEUP, ON
THE FIRST NIGHT I THINK THAT 
SHOWS YOU WHAT THE PRESIDENT IS 
TRYING 
TO DO.
APPEAL TO THE FAITH AND APPEAL 
TO THOSE THAT WANT TO HEAR FROM 
JIM JORDAN AND HOW THE MAIL IN 
BALLOT ISSUE IS GOING TO STEAL 
VOTES AWAY FROM TRUMP HE ALSO 
HAS MATT GAETZ WHO IS ANOTHER 
FIERCE ADVOCATE OF HIS ON THE 
HILL, HE'S GOING TO HAVE 
SPEAKING TIME TODAY, SO IT LOOKS
LIKE JUST BY LOOKING AT THE 
RANGE OF PEOPLE ON THIS RUNDOWN.
IT'S GOING TO BE A NIGHT OF 
HEARING ABOUT TRUMP. HE DOESN'T 
EVEN HAVE TO BE THERE. HE'S 
GOING TO HAVE ALL OF THESE 
PEOPLE SPEAK FOR HIM. 
>> LET'S GO TO OUR COLLEAGUE 
NICOLE ELLIS,  OUTSIDE THE 
AUDITORIUM. NICOLE, WE HAVE 
COVERED THE SUMMER OF NATIONWIDE
PROTESTS AGAINST RACIAL 
INJUSTICE, WHAT IMPACT WILL THE 
PROTESTS HAVE ON THE 
CONVENTION? 
>> YOU ARE COMPLETELY RIGHT, 
CONVENTION SEASON IS PRECEDED BY
A SUMMER FULL OF PROTESTS 
AGAINST RACIAL INJUSTICE, 
ESPECIALLY IN WAKE OF THE DEATH 
OF GEORGE FLOYD, BREONNA TAYLOR 
AND SO MANY OTHERS. MORE 
RECENTLY, THE VIDEO FOOTAGE OF 
BLAKE BEING SHOT IN THE BACK IN 
WISCONSIN HAS CREATED MORE 
PROTEST. AND THIS HAS 
PUT RACE AND DEALING WITH RACE 
AT THE FOREFRONT OF THIS 
ELECTION. AND YOU SEE THAT 
REFLECTED IN THE DEMOCRATIC 
NATIONAL CONVENTION 
WHICH HAS A STRONG LINEUP OF 
SPEAKERS OF COLOR. IN COMPARISON
TO THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION IT 
IS SPARSE, BUT WE ARE GOING TO 
HEAR FROM PEOPLE LIKE STATE 
REPRESENTATIVE VERNON JONES. WE 
WILL HEAR FROM THE LOAN 
REPUBLICAN SENATOR THE LOAN LACK
REPUBLICAN SENATOR KIM 
CLAY SIX,
IT'S ALSO WORTH NOTING, THAT THE
50th ANNIVERSARY OF THE MARCH ON
WASHINGTON IS ALSO TAKING PLACE 
ON THE HEELS OF THE CONVENTION 
ON FRIDAY. THAT COULD 
POTENTIALLY EITHER DIVERT 
ATTENTION OR STARK CONTRAST OF 
THE CONVENTION IF RACE ISN'T 
THAT WITH HEAD ON. WE WILL 
BE KEEPING
AN EYE OUT FOR THOSE NODS OF 
RACIAL JUSTICE OR SEEING HOW THE
SPEAKERS REPRESENT THEIR OWN 
ROLES AS SYMBOLS OF A MORE 
INCLUSIVE REPUBLICAN PARTY. BACK
TO YOU LIBBY. 
>>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, THIS IS 
LIFE COVERED FROM THE WASHINGTON
POST UP AHEAD A BIG NIGHT OF 
SPEECHES FROM FORMER INVESTOR 
NIKKI HALEY ALSO DONALD TRUMP 
JR., STAY 
WITH US.
>>> THIS IS LIVE COVERAGE FROM 
THE WASHINGTON POST. JOINING YOU
LIVE WE WILL HAVE LIFE COVERED 
ALL FOUR 
NIGHTS, PLUS YOU WON'T MISS THE 
LATEST NEWS DURING THE POLITICAL
SEASON. JOINING ME TONIGHT KAREN
TUMULTY, RHONDA COLVIN,  AND 
NICOLE 
ELLIS.  IT REALLY MAKES ME 
WONDER HOW RELEVANT CONVENTIONS 
ARE TODAY. WE USED TO WATCH FOR 
THE BIG BUMP IN POLLING AFTER 
THE CONVENTIONS. HOW IMPORTANT 
ARE THESE TWO WEEKS, IN THE 
LIFECYCLE OF THE 2020 CAMPAIGN? 
>> LESS AND LESS ACTUALLY. YEAH,
CONVENTIONS NO LONGER PICK 
THE NOMINEE. CONVENTIONS AND 
OTHER THINGS THAT THEY USED TO 
BE USED FOR IS SORT OF BRINGING 
THE PARTY BACK 
TOGETHER AFTER A DIFFICULT 
SOMETIMES VERY BITTER PRIMARY 
SEASON. WE SAW SOME 
OF THAT LAST WEEK, WITH THE 
DEMOCRATS WITH BERNIE SANDERS 
GETTING UP AND ESSENTIALLY 
VOUCHING FOR JOE BIDEN, BUT THE 
FACT IS, ESSENTIALLY CONVENTIONS
HAVE BECOME
LONG INFOMERCIALS. IT WAS SO 
INTERESTING FOR INSTANCE, TO 
HEAR THE ROLL CALL OF THE STATES
TODAY, BUT NOT BEING DONE IN A 
CONVENTION HALL WITH PEOPLE IN 
FUNNY HATS. IT'S A LOT OF THAT, 
THAT'S JUST 
SORT OF
ABSENT THIS YEAR. I THINK IT IS 
ALSO BEEN SORT OF THE SPECTACLE 
HAS BEEN LESS AND LESS INTEREST 
TO AMERICANS AS THE YEARS HAVE 
GONE ON. BUT WHEN A CANDIDATE 
HAS A CONVENTION BUMP, THESE 
CASES USUALLY NOT ALL THAT BIG 
AND IT REALLY DOESN'T LAST ALL 
THAT LONG. 
>> 
>> ONE OBSERVATION I HAD AFTER 
THE END OF LAST WEEK AT THE 
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION, WAS 
I UNDERSTOOD
WHAT THEIR MESSAGE WAS ABOUT JOE
BIDEN THEY REALLY BUILT UP TO A 
TAKE AWAY MESSAGE OF WHY THEY 
BELIEVE JOE BIDEN IS THE 
CANDIDATES. REPUBLICANS WILL 
WORK TO DO THE SAME EXACT THING 
FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP THIS WEEK. 
DOES IT GIVE THE PARTIES A 
CHANCE TO CREATE A UNIFORM 
MESSAGE ABOUT THEIR CANDIDATE? 
>> YOU'RE RIGHT, LAST WEEK DID 
HAVE THE NARRATIVE DID HAVE 
EMBARK MEANT, WE STARTED WITH 
MICHELLE OBAMA ON MONDAY NIGHT, 
ESSENTIALLY OUTLINING THIS WAS 
YOU KNOW, A VERY DANGEROUS AND 
DIRE AND URGENT TIME. AND THEN 
WE HAD JOE BIDEN SORT OF PIVOT 
FROM FEAR TO HOPE, AND THEN I 
THINK YOU KNOW 
WE HAD
BARACK OBAMA, AND KAMALA HARRIS 
REALLY SORT OF TEEING UP JOE 
BIDEN SPEECH THERE WAS AN ARC TO
IT, THERE WAS A RATIONALE TO IT,
I AM NOT SURE THAT IS WHAT WE 
ARE GOING TO SEE THIS WEEK. IN 
PART BECAUSE PRESIDENT TRUMP 
WANTS TO BE OUT THERE SORT OF 
POUNDING 
HIS METHOD EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. 
WE KNOW THAT HE IS NOT SOMEBODY 
WHO KIND OF FOLLOWS A STORYLINE 
HE JUST SORT OF GOES WITH 
WHATEVER HIS INSTINCTS ARE 
TELLING HIM AT THE MOMENT. SO 
THIS IS GOING TO BE FASCINATING 
TO WATCH, AND THERE IS JUST ONE 
MORE THING THAT IS REALLY 
INTERESTING ABOUT THIS YEAR, 
WHICH IS THERE IS NO PLATFORM. 
NOW THEY CONVENTION PLATFORM, IS
SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE DON'T 
REALLY PAY THAT MUCH ATTENTION 
TO THE CANDIDATE WILL 
OFTEN IGNORE
IF IT IS THERE. BUT FOR THE 
REPUBLICAN PARTY IT IS NOT EVEN 
HAVING A PLATFORM NOT EVEN 
HAVING A SET OF PRINCIPLES, AND 
SAYING BASICALLY OUR PLATFORM IS
WHATEVER DONALD TRUMP WANTS. 
IT'S A PRETTY BIG 
AND EXTRAORDINARY STATEMENT 
ABOUT WHAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY 
THESE DAYS IS. 
>> REMARKABLE KAREN A REFLECTION
OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY PALMA 
JAMES I WOULD LOVE TO 
HAVE YOU WEIGH IN ON THE NOTION 
OF A PLATFORM AND WHAT THAT SAYS
ABOUT THE MODERN REPUBLICAN 
PARTY. 
>> KAREN IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT THE
CANDIDATES OFTEN IGNORE 
PLATFORMS BUT PEOPLE USED TO 
REALLY READ THEM, BACK 
IN 1920, WHAT WILLIAM WAS 
TALKING ABOUT, PEOPLE WOULD 
REALLY READ THE REPUBLICAN AND 
DEMOCRATIC PLATFORMS AND LOOK AT
WHAT THEY WERE SAYING ABOUT THE 
GOLD STANDARD, OR ISSUES LIKE 
THAT. THERE 
ARE STILL PEOPLE ACTAVIS, WHO 
CARE DEEPLY ABOUT WHAT GOES INTO
THESE DOCUMENTS IN 2016 THERE 
WAS QUITE A SCANDAL. BECAUSE 
PAUL MANAFORT SLAUGHTER DOWN 
SOME OF THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN 
LANGUAGE RELATED TO UKRAINE, AND
SUPPORTING THE UKRAINIANS 
AGAINST RUSSIANS. BUT, IT REALLY
SAYS A LOT THAT THIS HAS BECOME 
FOR A LACK OF A BETTER WORD A 
PERSONALITY 
TRUMP POLICY,
THIS IS ABOUT THE TRUMP FAMILY 
THIS IS ABOUT THE PRESIDENT 
HIMSELF. AND THE REPUBLICANS DID
PASS ON SUNDAY AS PART OF THEIR 
BUSINESS UNANIMOUSLY A ONE-PAGE 
RESOLUTION THAT SAYS WE ARE NOT 
PASSING A PLATFORM BUT, IF WE 
DID 
IT WOULD
EXPRESS SUPPORT FOR DONALD TRUMP
AND HIS SECOND TERM AGENDA. NOW 
AT THAT POINT TRUMP HAD THEM PUT
ANYTHING OUT LIKE A SECOND TERM 
AGENDA AT ALL. WE STILL HAVEN'T 
REALLY GOTTEN A GOOD EXCLAMATION
ABOUT WHAT THE PRESIDENT WANTS 
TO DO WITH THE SECOND TERM, LATE
LAST NIGHT THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN 
BLASTED OUT A PRESS RELEASE 
AFTER 9:00 P.M. WITH LITERALLY A
LIST OF 50 BULLET POINTS UNDER 
THE SUBJECT LINE PRESIDENT TRUMP
SECOND TERM AGENDA. IT IS A LOT 
OF GENERAL AUDIS DIVIDED INTO 
CAN CATEGORIES OF THINGS LIKE 
CREATE 9 MILLION NEW JOBS AND 
BRING 1 MILLION JOBS BACK FROM 
CHINA. CUT YOU KNOW, IT IS ALL 
JUST GENERAL AUDIS, ONE OF THEM 
IS CREATING PERMANENT MOON 
COLONY WHICH ISN'T GOING TO 
HAPPEN, CONGRESSIONAL TERMINAL 
WHICH IS ASSUMING HE RAN ABOUT 
FOUR YEARS AGO AND WOULD TAKE A 
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT NOT 
GOING TO HAPPEN. THEY'RE TRYING,
THEY'RE SENSITIVE TO THE IDEA 
THAT THERE IS NO POLICY BEHIND 
THIS CONVENTION WHICH IS WHAT 
THAT WAS ABOUT TO ALSO IN SOME 
WAYS SERVES TO UNDERSCORE THE 
EXTENT TO WHICH THE REPUBLICAN 
CONVENTION IS SORT OF NOT AT ALL
DRIVEN BY POLICY AND ENTIRELY 
ABOUT THIS COLD PERSONALITY 
AROUND DONALD TRUMP. 
>> SO MANY SEEKERS RELATED TO 
DONALD TRUMP, FOR NOW, LET'S GO 
TO HANNAH JEWELL WHO IS HERE IN 
WASHINGTON ON THE STRETCH OF 
16th STREET RECENTLY RENAMED 
BLACK LIVES PLAZA BY 
THE DC
MAYOR. 
>> IT IS BEEN A CENTER OF 
PROTESTANT COMMUNITY ORGANIZING 
OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS IT IS 
RIGHT BY THE WHITE HOUSE. IT IS 
A VERY MEANINGFUL CLOSE 
LOCATION, BUT YOU CAN PERHAPS 
SEE FROM A HELICOPTER ON YOUR 
WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE. AND IT'S
ALSO NEAR WHERE THE CHURCH IS 
FOR DONALD TRUMP WHERE HE MADE 
HIS PHOTO OP PULLING UP THE 
BIBLE. BUT THINGS ARE A LITTLE 
QUIET OUT HERE, I WILL BE HERE 
ALL WEEK, I DID FIND ONE 
PROTESTER MIKE G, TELL ME WHY 
YOU'RE OUT HERE TONIGHT? 
>> I'M OUT HERE BECAUSE I WANT 
PEOPLE TO 
KNOW THAT I'M OUT HERE BECAUSE I
WANT TO KNOW THAT BIDEN IS GOING
TO EARN MY VOTE. 
>> AND THEY WANT HIM TO EARN MY 
VOTE. AND I WANT HIM TO MOVE HIS
POLICIES A LITTLE MORE TO THE 
LEFT OF WHERE PEOPLE LIKE ME, 
PEOPLE MIKE MY AGE THE 
MILLENNIAL PROGRESSIVE VOTE CAN 
GET DOWN WITH HIM, AND WE ALL 
CAN WORK TOGETHER AS 
PROGRESSIVES AND VOTE BLUE WE 
CAN WORK TOGETHER. TO GET TRUMP 
OUT OF THE WHITE 
HOUSE. 
>> ¬SAYS BIDEN HAS TO EARN MY 
VOTE. YOU'VE BEEN OUT HERE EIGHT
OR NINE TIMES WITH THE SIGN, 
WHAT IS YOUR REACTION BEEN? 
>> IT IS BEEN MIXED, MORE OF THE
YOUNGER CROWD, THE MILLENNIAL'S 
PROGRESSIVE, NOT EVEN THE 
MILLENNIAL CROWD THEY UNDERSTAND
WHERE I'M COMING FROM. THEY 
CHEER ME ON, THE OLDER VOTERS I 
GET A REACTION OF YES I 
UNDERSTAND. BUT,
THERE ARE OTHER REACTIONS WHERE 
NO, I'M NOT GOING TO LISTEN TO 
ANYTHING THAT YOU SAY. 
>> I HAVE TO ASK ARE YOU GOING 
TO WATCH ANY RNC COVERAGE THIS 
WEEK QUESTION MARK 
>> I PRETTY MUCH KNOW WHAT HIS 
PLATFORM IS, THE SIGN ISN'T 
ABOUT HIM,
THIS SIGN IS ABOUT THE 
PROGRESSIVES, THE YOUNGER VOTERS
AND THE BIDEN VOTERS WORKING 
TOGETHER. 
>> THANK YOU FOR TALKING TO ME I
WILL BE OUT HERE LOOKING FOR 
PROTESTERS IN AND AROUND HERE 
ALL WEEK. 
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH HANNAH 
JEWELL AT BLACK LIVES MATTER 
PLAZA. I WANT TO READ SOMETHING 
TO YOU THE ANDREA YANG, A 
ONETIME PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE 
AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, HE 
SAID THE MAGIC OF JOE BIDEN IS 
THAT EVERYTHING HE DOES, BECOMES
THE NEW REASONABLE. AND IT STOOD
OUT TO A LOT OF US, BECAUSE IT 
SHOWS THAT WHEN JOE BIDEN TAKES 
ON A PLATFORM, EVEN IF IT MAY BE
OVER TO THE LEFT TO BECOME SORT 
OF MAINSTREAM AND IN THE PUBLIC 
OPINION ACCORDING TO ANDREW YANK
ON THIS. NOW, I WAS THINKING 
ABOUT THAT AS MIKE WAS TALKING. 
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE EFFORT TO 
MOVE JOE BIDEN ON HIS PLATFORM 
AND THEN COMPARE THAT WITH ANY 
EFFORTS ON THE REPUBLICAN RANKS 
TO MOVE DONALD TRUMP ON HIS 
PLATFORM. 
>> I THINK THE MAN THAT JUST 
SPOKE TO HANNAH SAID SOMETHING 
THAT A LOT OF VOTERS WHO AREN'T 
SUPPORTING BIDEN BUT WANT HIM TO
EARN THEIR VOTE AS HE SAID, WANT
BIDEN TO
WORK WITH OTHER PEOPLE THEY WANT
HIM TO WORK WITH PROGRESSIVES I 
BELIEVE THE MAN'S NAME WAS MIKE 
HE MENTIONED THAT, THAT BIDEN 
NEEDS TO WORK WITH PROGRESSIVES.
AND I THINK THAT IS SOMETHING 
THAT THE DEMOCRATS TRIED TO 
HIGHLIGHT LAST WEEK BY TALKING 
ABOUT HOW BIDEN WORKED ACROSS 
THE AISLE WHEN HE WAS IN THE 
SENATE, I KNOW JUST TALKING TO 
PEOPLE ON THE HILL ABOUT A BIDEN
CANDIDATE SEE, A LOT OF 
LAWMAKERS ARE SOMEWHAT EXCITED 
DEMOCRATS WERE 
EXCITED, BUT
THEY WANT SOMEONE WHO WILL BE 
ABLE TO COME IN, AND WORK WITH 
THEM AND WORK WITH ALL PEOPLE. 
AND HE IS SEEN AS SOMEONE WHO 
CAN DO THAT. AND DEMOCRATS HAVE 
CERTAINLY BEEN TOUTING THAT IS 
ONE OF HIS ASSETS. SO, I THINK 
YANK WAS SORT OF POINTING TO THE
IDEA OF BIDEN BEING SORT OF A 
PEACEMAKER WHEN WE NEED A TIME 
FOR PEACEMAKING. 
>> IN QUEUE RHONDA. LOOKING AT 
THE SCHEDULE I WANT TO GO TO 
JAMES AND POINT OUT, THE DONALD 
TRUMP JR.'S SPEECH IS GOING TO 
BE ON TAPE, AS IS KIMBERLY 
GUILFOYLE.  WE HAVE MANY OTHERS 
ON TAPE. THIS DESPITE THE FACT 
THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP CRITICIZED 
AND PANNED 
THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION FOR 
HAVING TAPED ELEMENTS. 
>> YES, LIBBY, IT IS A 
REFLECTION OF ANOTHER BOW 
TO REALITY.
BY THE PRESIDENT. YOU KNOW THE 
PRESIDENT WENT PUBLIC HEALTH 
EXPERTS ARE SAYING DON'T HOLD AN
IN PERSON TO MENTION HIM SAYING 
I WANT EVERYTHING TO BE FULL, 
VERY CONTENTIOUS PHONE 
CONVERSATION WITH THE GOVERNOR 
OF NORTH CAROLINA, TO THREATEN 
TO MOVE THE CONVENTION BEFORE HE
DID SAYING I NEVER SPOKE TO AN 
EMPTY ARENA BEFORE I'M NOT ABOUT
TO START, AND HAVING PRETAPED 
SPEECHES, IS EASIER. THERE IS A 
LOT OF MOVING PARTS, IN 
SOMETHING LIKE THIS. AND SO I 
THINK IT IS ABOUT TIME TO CHECK 
REALITY AND RECOGNIZE IT'S 
DIFFICULT DC HAS RESTRICTIONS ON
HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN BE GATHERED 
SIMULTANEOUSLY, AND THAT IS WHAT
I THINK THIS IS ABOUT. 
>> A LOT OF THE SPEAKERS ARE 
RELATED TO PRESIDENT TRUMP, 
KAREN TUMULTY LET'S 
TALK ABOUT WHO IN THE TRUMP 
FAMILY IS SPEAKING AND ALSO WHO 
IS NOT. 
>> 
Reporter: WELL, WE ARE GOING TO 
HEAR FROM ALL OF THE TRUMP 
CHILDREN OVER THE COURSE OF THIS
WEEK EXCEPT FOR HIS YOUNGEST. 
BUT, THERE 
HAS BEEN A BIT OF INTRIGUE, 
WITHIN THE TRUMP FAMILY OVER THE
LAST 
FEW WEEKS, WITH THE TELL-ALL 
BOOK THAT CAME OUT FROM DONALD 
TRUMP'S NIECE MARY. AND THEN, 
JUST IN THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS 
WITH OUR COLLEAGUE AT THE POST. 
IT TURNED OUT THAT MARY 
WAS TAPING HER AUNT, WHO IS 
DONALD TRUMP'S OLDER SISTER WHO 
IS A JUDGE. ESSENTIALLY TRASHING
HER 
BROTHER. SO, YOU KNOW THERE IS A
LOT OF FAMILY DRAMA AT THE 
MOMENT. BUT, I DO THINK THE BASE
WILL BE JUST DELIGHTED TO SEE 
ALL OF THE TRUMP KIDS OUT THERE,
THEY ARE VERY POPULAR ON THE 
CAMPAIGN TRAIL. BUT, AGAIN, 
LOOKING AT YOU KNOW THE REST OF 
THE COUNTRY, IT IS A REMINDER OF
THE DEGREE 
TO WHICH DONALD TRUMP HAS HIS 
DAUGHTER, AND HIS SON-IN-LAW 
WORKING IN THE WHITE HOUSE, HE 
CONTINUES TO RUN HIS BUSINESS 
WHILE PRESIDENT, IT IS IN THE 
HANDS OF HIS SUN, BUT HE IS NOT 
STEPPED AWAY FROM IT. SO, ON THE
ONE HAND IT'S FOOD FOR THE VASE 
BUT ON THE OTHER HAND IT DOES 
SORT OF GO TO SOMETHING THAT HAS
RAISED SOME
ETHICAL QUESTIONS WITH REGARDS 
TO THE TRUMP FAMILY AND THE 
TRUMP BUSINESS AND THE TRUMP 
PRESIDENCY. AND HOW THEY SORT OF
ARE CO-MINGLED IN A WAY WE HAVE 
NEVER SEEN BEFORE. 
>> IT SHOWS HOW SMALL THE CIRCLE
IS, THE RELATIONSHIPS THAT 
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS KEPT UP AND 
CONTINUED THROUGHOUT HIS TENURE 
IN THE WHITE HOUSE. YOU KNOW, 
THERE ARE RELATIVELY FEW AND 
FAR BETWEEN.
WE DO SEE NIKKI HALEY SPEAKING. 
TONIGHT, NIKKI HALEY IS SOMEONE 
WHO HAS STAYED LOYAL TO 
PRESIDENT TRUMP, EVEN AS SHE 
LEFT THE ADMINISTRATION. BUT, 
SEEING A LOT OF THE FAMILY 
MEMBERS ON THE DOCKET, SHOWS 
THAT THAT IS WHO HAS BEEN 
STICKING AROUND THROUGHOUT THE 
SOUL. 
>> I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO SEE 
BECAUSE IT IS NEVER TOO EARLY IN
POLITICS YOU'RE ALSO GOING TO 
SEE A LITTLE BIT OF POSITIONING 
FOR 2024. 
I THINK, THAT IS WHAT PEOPLE ARE
SIZING UP NIKKI HALEY AS A 
POTENTIAL PRESIDENTIAL 
CANDIDATE. YOU KNOW, MIKE POMPEO
AS WELL, SO YOU KNOW, PEOPLE 
ARE ALWAYS SORT OF POSITIONING 
THEMSELVES, FOR THE NEXT GO 
AROUND AS WELL. 
>> LET'S GO BACK TO MY COLLEAGUE
NICOLE ELLIS OUTSIDE THE MELLON 
AUDITORIUM WITH MORE DETAILS ON 
TONIGHT'S PROGRAM.
WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT WHO 
IS PUTTING THIS TOGETHER AND 
WHAT WE SHOULD BE PAYING 
ATTENTION TO? 
>> I LIBBY, OUR COLLEAGUE JAMES 
ALREADY MENTIONED THAT TO 
PRODUCERS OF THE APPRENTICE SHOW
ARE GOING TO BE PLANNING THIS 
CONVENTION, AND THEY WILL BE 
PLANNING EVERYTHING FROM THE 
VIDEO PRODUCTION, TO LIVE SHOW, 
TO PLANT TAPINGS, TO THE 
INVOLVEMENT OF NONPOLITICAL 
SPEAKERS, LET'S GET INTO THE 
NEWS ABOUT WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE 
FOR A LITTLE 
BIT. SO, MARK BURNETT, FOR 9+ 
YEARS, HE COEXECUTIVE PRODUCED 
ONE OF THE EPISODES IN SEASON 
13, IN ADDITION TO THAT, HE 
WORKED ON THE MARTHA STEWART 
SPINOFF OF THE SHOW CALLED THE 
APPRENTICE MARTHA STEWART. SOME 
OF WHICH WAS FILMED WHILE SHE 
WAS ON HOUSE ARREST. 
>> 
DONALD TRUMP'S
OWNED FRANCHISE, AND SO DID MARK
EXCUSE ME SO DID CHUCK LABELLA. 
HE WAS THE TALENT PRODUCER FOR 
THE 2011 AND 2012 SEASON 
PAGEANT, HE WORKS ON THE TALENT 
PRODUCED, 
ON THE ROAST ON 2011 HE IS 
NOTABLY KNOWN 
ABOUT THE TALENT EXECUTIVE AT 
NBC WHERE HE PRODUCED SOME 40 
EPISODES OF THE APPRENTICE. SO 
WHEN YOU TAKE A LOOK AND TAKE A 
STEP BACK ON THE TEAM THAT IS 
WORKING ON THIS CONVENTION, YOU 
KIND OF WANT TO THINK A LITTLE 
BIT MORE ABOUT WHAT THE MEASURES
OF SUCCESS ARE AND HOW 
WE CAN CONTEXTUALIZE IT WHILE I 
AGREE IT IS IMPORTANT TO LOOK AT
CONVENTIONS LIKE
THE GEORGE HERBERT WALKER BUSH 
CONVENTION IN 2002. THE BEST 
CONTACTS WERE GOING TO GET AND 
THE BEST SENSE OF THE MEASURES 
OF SUCCESS, THAT DONALD TRUMP 
CARES ABOUT HER GOING TO BE MORE
SO REFLECTED IN HOW THESE PEOPLE
HIMSELF INCLUDED LEVERAGE THEIR 
ROLES AND SUCCESSES, AS TV SHOW 
MAKERS INTO A CONVENTION. 
>> WE ARE KEEPING AN EYE OUT FOR
HOW THEY -- 
>> NICOLE, YOU WERE SAYING 
SOMETHING THAT MADE ME THINK OF 
A QUESTION. IF IT IS A SUCCESS 
OR A FAILURE, IS THAT 
DICTATED BY THE RNC OR PRESIDENT
TRUMP? 
>> IT'S IMPLICIT IN THE 
STRUCTURE OF THE EVENT 
CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT ALL OF
DONALD TRUMP'S CHILDREN WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF THE YOUNGEST. IS A 
PART OF EVERY DAY OF 
THIS CONVENTION.
SPEAK TO THE FACT THAT THIS IS A
TRUMP PRODUCTION, NOT 
NECESSARILY A REPUBLICAN 
NATIONAL COMMITTEE PRODUCTION 
WHICH MEANS AT THE END OF THE 
DAY, ALL OF THE SUCCESSES AND 
FAILURES ARE GOING TO FALL ON 
TRUMP'S SHOULDERS AND NOT 
NECESSARILY THE COMMITTEE. 
>> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
WITH US TONIGHT AND THROUGHOUT 
THE EVENING UNTIL THE REPUBLICAN
NATIONAL CONVENTION BEGINS, 
AARON BLAKE, SENIOR REPORTER FOR
THE SIX, ALSO KAREN TUMULTY 
CALLING TO WRITE US ABOUT 
POLITICS, CAPITOL HILL REPORTER 
AND JAMES TILLMAN NATIONAL 
MEDICAL REPORTER, WELCOME TO THE
CONVERSATION I WILL LOOK FORWARD
TO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING TONIGHT AS
WELL AS THIS WEEK. 
>> I THINK ONE OF THE BIG 
QUESTIONS, IS HOW OBVIOUSLY WHAT
THE OVERALL MESSAGE IS, 
BUT GENERALLY HOW OPTIMISTIC IT 
IS VERSUS HOW PESSIMISTIC IT IS,
THE PRESIDENT IS MADE CLEAR, IN 
RECENT WEEKS THAT HE'S GOING TO 
BE BRINGING THIS CAMPAIGN 
ESSENTIALLY LIKE A CHALLENGER, 
ARGUING THAT THE SCENES OF 
DEMONSTRATIONS AND RIOTS AND 
CERTAIN CITIES ARE THE FUTURE 
THAT AWAITS THIS COUNTRY UNDER A
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION. THESE 
THINGS ARE HAPPENING DURING 
TRUMP'S PRESIDENCY FOUR YEARS 
AFTER HE PROMISED TO ESSENTIALLY
AND VIOLENT CRIME IN THIS 
COUNTRY AND BRING AN 
END TO AMERICAN CARNAGE. CAN HE 
GO TO THE WELL REPEATEDLY CAN HE
MAKE THIS ABOUT A FEAR OF A 
DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION OR 
DOES HE FEEL THE NEED, TO MAKE A
MORE FORWARD LEANING CASE FOR 
HIS CANDIDACY, I THINK WHAT WE 
WILL PROBABLY SEE IS SOME OF 
THESE OTHER SPEAKERS, THEY WILL 
LEAN INTO THE MORE OPTIMISTIC 
MESSAGE AND TALK ABOUT THOSE 
KINDS OF THINGS, BUT THE 
PRESIDENT HAS SHOWN AND I THINK 
EVEN IN 
HIS SPEECH EARLIER TODAY, HE 
MADE PRETTY CLEAR, THAT HIS 
MOTIVES ARE VERY MUCH UNCHANGED,
HE'S GOING TO RUN THE CAMPAIGN 
HE WANTS TO, AND I THINK IT'S 
GOING TO BE DIFFICULT FOR HIM TO
REALLY BREAK OUT OF THAT KIND OF
CHALLENGER MODE, BUT HE HAS BEEN
IN BASICALLY THROUGH THE 
ENTIRETY OF HIS 
PRESIDENCY. 
>>
JAMES HOHMANN, LET'S TURN TO YOU
FOR SPEAKERS ON THE AGENDA 
TONIGHT AND THIS WEEKEND WHAT 
ABOUT THE RISING STARS? KAREN 
TALKED ABOUT THE JOCKEYING 
TAKING PLACE FOR 2024. AND WE DO
SEE THE LIKES OF NIKKI HALEY AND
MIKE POMPEO SCHEDULED TO SPEAK. 
BUT, WE TALKED A LOT DURING THE 
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION 
ABOUT THE RISING STARS OF THE 
PARTY, WHO ARE WE SEEING, ARE 
THEY FEATURING THEM ENOUGH, WHAT
ABOUT THE REPUBLICANS? 
>> SO, SOME OF THEM ARE 2024 
CONTENDERS SO SOMEONE LIKE  
KRISTI MILLS HE USED TO BE IN 
CONGRESS GETTING A GOOD SPEAKING
PLOT, SHE IS SOMEONE WHO GAVE 
THE PRESIDENT A FOUR FOOT BUS TO
MOUNT RUSHMORE WHEN HE FLEW UP 
FOR JULY 4th LAST MONTH, THERE 
WERE SUSPICIONS IN THE WHITE 
HOUSE THAT SHE WAS MATCHING 
EATING TO REPLACE PENS ON THE 
TICKET, AND SO SHE SUMMONED HER 
TO THE WHITE HOUSE AND DIDN'T 
LET 
HER MEET
WITH TRUMP BUT SHE REASSURED HIM
SHE WASN'T AFTER THE JOB, THE 
PRESIDENT WAS SPEAKING WITH THE 
RUNNING MATE. BUT IN THE INTERIM
SHE HAS TRAVELED TO IOWA, SPOKEN
TO REPUBLICAN PARTIES, COUNTY 
DINNERS, SO
HER TEAM SEES THIS AS A BIG 
BREAKOUT MOMENT FOR HER, TOM 
COTTON I'M NOT SURE HE COUNTS AS
A RISING STAR BUT HE'S IN HIS 
40s STILL YOUNG, STILL VERY 
AMBITIOUS AND WANTS TO WORK FOR 
THE PRESIDENT IN 2024. 
INTRODUCING HIMSELF BEYOND THE 
BELTWAY, AND I THINK TIM SCOTT 
STILL COUNTS AS A RISING STAR 
HE'S GOING TO GIVE A BIG SPEECH 
TONIGHT, THE LONE BLACK 
REPUBLICAN IN THE SENATE. HE'S 
GOOD AT CONVEYING THE OPTIMISTIC
MESSAGE WITH THE CHAMPION OF THE
OPPORTUNITY ZONES IN THE TAX-CUT
BILL IN 2017 SOMEONE WHO COULD 
HAVE A BRIGHT FUTURE IN THE 
PARTY AS A POTENTIAL RUNNING 
MATE FOR 2024 CONTENDER OR 
SORT OF
A RISING STAR IN THE SENATE 
REPUBLICAN CONFERENCE, AND THEN 
THERE IS A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE 
AS WELL. BUT THOSE ARE KIND OF 
THE MID-LEVEL PEOPLE WHO I THINK
ARE GOING TO BE MAJOR PLAYERS 
FOR A LONG TIME IN THE PARTY. 
>> I WANTED TO JOIN YOU ON THAT 
FOR A MOMENT, I WANT TO POINT 
OUT WE ARE SEEING ON THE SCREEN 
CHARLIE KIRK, HE WAS IN 2012. A 
VERY YOUNG RISING STAR, AND 
TRUMP SUPPORTER, THE RNC IS 
GETTING UNDERWAY WE WILL GO TO 
THAT WHEN THE MAIN SPEECHES 
START. BUT, THERE IS JAMES, A 
LITTLE BIT OF AN ELEMENT OF 
TRYING TO GET YOUNG PEOPLE 
INVOLVED IN THIS, IN EVENT 
SPICING MR. KIRK. 
>> THERE ARE GOING TO BE SOME 
YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
IS AMAZING ABOUT THIS CONVENTION
THAT IS UNUSUAL IS THERE A DRINK
WHITE HOUSE STAFF, WERE GOING TO
HEAR A SPEECH FROM SOMEONE NAMED
JAY RON SMITH, IS VERY YOUNG, 
SOMEONE WILL RUN FOR OFFICE AT 
SOME POINT AND IT WILL BE KIND 
OF A DESIRE BY THE RNC TO 
SHOWCASE THAT THE PARTY IS MORE 
DIVERSE THAN PEOPLE THINK IT IS.
AND THAT HE CAN MOVE IN THAT 
DIRECTION. 
>>
LET'S GO DOWN TO JOYCE, WHO IS 
OUTSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE FOR MORE
ON WHO YOU WILL BE WATCHING 
TONIGHT SOME OF THE NAMES WE 
HAVE BEEN MENTIONING I WOULD 
LOVE TO HEAR WHAT YOU WILL 
SPECIFICALLY BE LISTENING FOR. 
>> WELL, TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT OF
MUCH SOUTH CAROLINA PROMINENCE, 
STATING THE PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS 
A LOT OF CLOSE TIES, WITH VOTES 
FORMER GOVERNOR OF SOUTH 
CAROLINA AND TRUMP U.N. 
AMBASSADOR NIKKI HALEY SPEAKING 
TONIGHT AS WELL AS SOUTH 
CAROLINA SENATOR TIM SCOTT 
SPEAKING. NIKKI HALEY OF COURSE 
RISING TO PROMINENCE AMONG THE 
REPUBLICAN PARTY NATIONALLY BACK
IN 2015. WHEN SHE HANDLED THE 
CONFEDERATE FLAG TAKEDOWN AT THE
SOUTH CAROLINA STATE CAPITAL 
FOLLOWING THE CHARLESTON 
MASSACRE. BUT,
AFTER SHE WAS PITCHED TO BE U.N.
AMBASSADOR UNDER THE TRUMP 
ADMINISTRATION, SHE RESIGNED 
FROM THAT ROLE BACK IN 2018 AND 
SINCE THEN HAS REMAINED LARGELY 
OUT OF THE NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT, 
SO TONIGHT WE WILL BE LOOKING TO
SEE WHAT SHE HAS TO SAY, AND 
JAMES MENTIONED, HALEY IS 
SOMEONE THAT YOU KNOW, THERE HAS
BEEN A LOT OF SPECULATION AROUND
WHETHER SHE WILL BE RUNNING FOR 
PRESIDENT IN 2024. AND AS A 
REMINDER GOING INTO TONIGHT, 
HALEY IS SOMEONE WHO HAS NOT 
ALWAYS BEEN APPROVING OF 
PRESIDENT TRUMP. SHE DID NOT 
BACK 
HIM UNTIL
SHE GOT THE U.N. AMBASSADOR SLOT
THAT SHE CAME OUT IN SUPPORT OF 
PRESIDENT TRUMP NUMEROUS TIMES. 
THE OTHER SPEAKER TONIGHT I WILL
BE LOOKING FOR IS SENATOR TIM 
SCOTT HE WILL BE THE LAST 
SPEAKER OF THE NIGHT, GIVING HIS
REMARKS AND HE IS THE LONE 
REPUBLICAN BLACK SENATOR IN THE 
U.S. SENATE AND HE HAS SPOKEN ON
RACIAL ISSUES HE HAS BEEN ONE TO
EDUCATE HIS REPUBLICAN 
COLLEAGUES ON RACIAL ISSUES. 
ESPECIALLY THIS SUMMER ACROSS 
YOU KNOW WHEN WE SAW ALL OF THE 
RACIAL RECKONING HAPPENING 
FOLLOWING THE POLICE SHOOTINGS 
OF UNARMED BLACK PEOPLE, IN THE 
COUNTRY HE SPOKE ON THE SENATE 
FLOOR ABOUT HIS OWN EXPERIENCES 
WITH RACISM, IN ADDITION TO THAT
HE WAS THE LEAD REPUBLICAN 
LEADING THE LEGISLATION IN THE 
SENATE SIDE, FOR CRIMINAL 
JUSTICE AND POLICE REFORM, AND 
THAT BILL ENDED UP BEING BLOCKED
BY DEMOCRATS WHO SAID IT DIDN'T 
GO QUITE FAR ENOUGH. SO SENATOR 
TO TIM SCOTT, IS THE 
OTHER MAIN PERSON I WILL BE 
LOOKING FOR THIS BACK WEEKEND HE
WAS ON FOX NEWS TALKING ABOUT 
WHAT WE CAN LOOK FORWARD TO AND 
HE MENTIONED
HE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT 
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S ECONOMY BEFORE
THE CORONAVIRUS IT AND HE ALSO 
MENTIONED PRESIDENT TRUMP'S WORK
ON SIGNING THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE 
REFORM BILL INTO LAW THE FIRST 
STEP OF THAT. SO I WILL 
CERTAINLY BE LOOKING AT THE 
SPEAKERS WHO SHOULD BE COMING UP
MUCH LATER ON IN THE PROGRAM 
TONIGHT, LIBBY. 
>> THANK YOU, JOYCE KOH, KAREN 
TUMULTY, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE 
CONTROVERSY REGARDING SPEAKERS 
THE ONE I'M THINKING OF 
PRIMARILY, MIKE POMPEO. 
>> WELL, JUST TO HAVE A 
SECRETARY OF STATE STEP INTO 
THIS POLITICAL ROLE, IS UNUSUAL.
I MEAN, HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE 
AMERICA'S FORWARD FACING 
DIPLOMAT TO THE 
WORLD. NORMALLY, YOU USE YOUR 
CABINET MEMBERS VERY 
SPARINGLY, ESPECIALLY ONES WHO 
ARE AS CRUCIAL AS THE SECRETARY 
OF STATE. OR SAY THE ATTORNEY 
GENERAL IN SETTINGS LIKE THIS. 
SO, THERE 
HAS BEEN IT'S A LITTLE BIT 
SURPRISING, BUT IN THE TRUMP 
ADMINISTRATION, BASICALLY 
NOTHING IS SURPRISING. 
>> 
ANOTHER CONTROVERSIAL ADDITION 
TO THE PROGRAM THE McCLOSKEY'S, 
LET'S GO TO RHONDA COLVIN. THE 
COUPLE BECAME NATIONALLY 
NOTORIOUS THIS SUMMER. 
>> 
THAT'S RIGHT
THEY WERE A COUPLE WHO WERE 
EATING I THINK AND A BARBECUE IN
THE BACK OF THEIR HOUSE AND SAID
THEY CAME AROUND AND SAW 
PROTESTERS IN FRONT OF THEIR 
LAWN THEY SAID THEY WERE SCARED 
FOR THEIR LIVES THERE IS A 
PICTURE RIGHT HERE, AND THEY 
POINTED THE GUNS OF THE 
PROTESTERS AND THE GROUP OF 
PROTESTERS SAID THEY WERE 
ACTUALLY MARCHING THROUGH THAT 
AREA, THEY WEREN'T STOPPING TO 
ACCOST OR BOTHER THE FAMILY, BUT
YES, I THINK INCLUDING THEM ON 
THE FERRY
RNC THEY WANT TO SPEAK TO THE 
BASE ABOUT GUN RIGHTS AND SAYING
HE IS AN ADVOCATE FOR THE SECOND
AMENDMENT THAT IS CERTAINLY AN 
ISSUE THAT DEFINITELY HAS A LOT 
OF ENTHUSIASTS WHO ARE YOU KNOW,
HARD-CORE REPUBLICANS THERE 
PROBABLY GOING TO BE ENERGIZED 
BY SAYING THAT COUPLE WHO IN 
THEIR TERMS, 
WOULD BE
TRYING TO DEFEND THEIR LAND AND 
DEFEND THEIR RIGHTS. SO IT IS A 
VERY INTERESTING CHOICE TO HAVE 
FOR THE FIRST NIGHT. 
>> WE WILL JOIN THE REPUBLICAN 
NATIONAL CONVENTION FIRST NIGHT 
IN JUST A FEW MINUTES, STAY WITH
US. 
>>
'S YOU'RE WATCHING LIVE COVERAGE
OF THE
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION. 
WE WILL BE WITH YOU THROUGHOUT 
THIS WEEK BRINGING YOU COVERAGE 
OF THE CONVENTION AND ANALYSIS 
FROM POST REPORTERS BEFORE AND 
AFTERWARD SO STICK AROUND WE 
WILL BE BACK ON THE BACKEND 
AROUND 11:00. THE REPUBLICAN 
NATIONAL CONVENTION IS GETTING 
UNDERWAY WE WILL GO TO IT LIVE 
IN JUST A FEW MOMENTS, TONIGHT'S
THEME IS LAND OF PROMISE. WITH 
ME THIS EVENING AARON BLAKE. 
KAREN TUMULTY, RHONDA COLVIN, 
ALSO JAMES HOMAN, ALL OF MY 
GUESTS THIS 
EVENING. NOW, AS WE TALK ABOUT 
THE THEME TONIGHT, DO YOU SEE 
SOME THROUGH LINES AS YOU THINK 
ABOUT THE SPEAKERS AND WHAT THE 
GOAL OF TONIGHT SPECIFICALLY IS?
>> THIS IS A TABLE SETTING, IT 
IS DEFINITELY INTERESTING AS WE 
WERE HEARING ABOUT TIM SCOTT, 
THERE IS 
A TENSION
IN THE PROGRAMMING BETWEEN YOU 
KNOW, IF YOU TAKE SOMETHING KIND
OF LIKE LAW AND ORDER, TRUMPS 
TERMS, WHICH HAS GIVEN A WHOLE 
NEW MEETING WE HAVE HEARD THE 
SOUND OF HIM TODAY TALKING ABOUT
YOU KNOW, GOING TO COURT, AND 
BEING 
PURSUANT TO
PROTECT THE VOTE. ONE OF THE KEY
SPEAKERS ON THURSDAY NIGHT IS 
ALICE JOHNSON WHO HAS FEATURED 
IN THE SUPER BOWL AD EARLIER 
THIS YEAR. AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN 
WOMAN WHO HE GRANTED CLEMENCY 
TO, TIM SCOTT IS GOING TO TALK 
ABOUT THE FIRST STEP BACK WHICH 
WAS A BIG CRIMINAL JUSTICE BILL.
THEN YOU HAVE THE McCLOSKEY'S, 
WHO ARE KIND OF PROJECTING THE 
MESSAGE OF GET TOUGH ON CRIME, 
CRACKDOWN ON THE PROTESTERS. AND
SO I THINK THAT THERE ISN'T 
REALLY A THROUGH LINE AND THERE 
ISN'T GOING TO BE THIS 
ASPIRATIONAL IDEA OF 
HOPE, WHICH
THEY SAY THEY'RE GOING TO 
PROJECT. BUT THEN, TRUMPS 
IMPULSE WHICH WE SAW IN 2016 HAS
BEEN TRUE THROUGHOUT HIS 
PRESIDENCY WHICH IS TO KIND OF 
PLAY ON PEOPLE'S FEARS. AND PLAY
TO HIS BASE, SO I THINK THAT 
THAT IS GOING TO BE THE 
ATTENTION TONIGHT AND ALL WEEK 
LONG. 
>> AARON BLAKE, THE CORONAVIRUS 
IS CERTAINLY HAPPENING 
EVEN AS
WE GO THROUGHOUT THIS CONVENTION
PROCESS USUALLY A CELEBRATORY 
PROCESS FOR THE POLITICAL 
PARTIES, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE 
NEWS PRESIDENT TRUMP IS TRYING 
TO MATE WHEN IT COMES TO THE 
UNITED STATES REACTION TO 
CORONAVIRUS AND ALSO WHAT THE 
HEADLINES ARE REGARDLESS OF WHAT
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS TRYING TO 
STEER THE STORY TO. 
>> SO I THOUGHT THERE WAS AN 
INTERESTING POLL THAT CAME OUT 
THIS WEEKEND THAT SHOWED, THE 
MAJORITY OF REPUBLICANS WERE 
ESSENTIALLY RESIGNED TO THE IDEA
THAT WE HAVE THIS LEVEL OF 
DEATHS FROM THE CORONAVIRUS 
OUTBREAK THERE SEEMS TO BE THIS 
REAL RELIEF AT LEAST IN THE 
PRESIDENTS SPACE,
THAT THE CORONAVIRUS IS JUST A 
DEADLY PHENOMENON THAT IS GOING 
TO COST LIVES. THEY DON'T SEEM 
TO BE JUDGING HIM TERRIBLY 
HARSHLY AT THE SAME TIME THERE 
WAS ANOTHER POLL FROM THE 
ASSOCIATED PRESS THIS WEEKEND 
THAT SHOWED THE PRESENCE OF 31% 
DOWN FROM 44% 
IN MARCH.
IT'S CLEAR THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE
THAT AGAIN, WAS HIS WORST ISSUE 
IN THAT POLL, WHEN YOU COMPARE 
IT TO FOREIGN POLICY. WHEN YOU 
COMPARE TWO HEALTH CARE EVEN 
MORE THAN HIS OVERALL RATING 
WHICH WAS VERY LOW AND THAT 
WHOLE THING COMPARED TO OTHER 
POLLS. SO REALLY THIS IS 
SOMETHING THAT I WOULD IMAGINE 
WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE HEARING A
LOT ABOUT, AT LEAST NOT AS MUCH 
AS WE DID LAST 
WEEK. BECAUSE,
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT ONE ISN'T
A GREAT STORY TO TELL RIGHT NOW,
PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO HEAR 
NECESSARILY ABOUT THIS. IT'S NOT
SOMETHING THAT THE BASE IS 
TERRIBLY CONCERNED ABOUT. AND 
MOST IMPORTANTLY, THIS IS 
SOMETHING THAT PER THE PRESIDENT
HAS SHOWN HE IS NOT TERRIBLY 
INTERESTED IN TALKING ABOUT, 
UNTIL THEY REINSTITUTED THE 
FREQUENT BRIEFINGS ON THE 
CORONAVIRUS THERE WERE MYRIAD 
STORIES HOW THE PRESIDENT HAD 
POTENTIALLY SEEN THIS ISSUE, AND
HAD DELEGATED AUTHORITY ON THIS 
OTHER PEOPLE. DIDN'T REALLY WANT
TO HEAR ABOUT IT, AND EVEN IN 
HIS PUBLIC COMMENTS OVER THE 
LAST SEVERAL WEEKS, WE ARE 
SEEING HIM FOCUS ON THINGS LIKE 
THE 
CORONAVIRUS TREATMENT, THE 
CONVALESCENT PLASMA. HE WANTS TO
FOCUS ON FIXES FOR THIS RATHER 
THAN TALK ABOUT THE IMPACT THAT 
IT IS HAVING ON THE AMERICAN 
PEOPLE. 
AND SO,
TO THE EXTENT HE TALKS ABOUT IT 
HE WILL PLAY OUT THINGS LIKE 
CONVALESCENT PLASMA. THE 
QUESTION IS HOW FAR HE GOES WITH
THAT. IF HE'S TALKING ABOUT 
HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE WHICH THE FDA
REVERSED COURSE ON, IF HE'S 
TALKING ABOUT SOME OF THESE 
GRIEVANCES THAT HE HAS WITH THE 
FDA. WITH VARIOUS HEALTH 
OFFICIALS LIKE ANTHONY FAUCI, I 
THINK ONCE HE SPURTS DOWN 
THAT LINE, HIS INCLINATION IS TO
TAKE IT FURTHER THAN THE PEOPLE 
AROUND HIM WOULD LIKE IT TO. 
>> ANOTHER BIG STORY IN THE NEWS
WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE U.S. 
POSTAL SERVICE LET'S GO TORONTO 
FOR MORE ON THAT. RHONDA THE 
POSTMASTER GENERAL TESTIFIED 
BEFORE A DEMOCRATIC-LED 
COMMITTEE TODAY, WE EXPECTED IT 
TODAY TO BE CONTENTIOUS, HOW 
HARD IT DID DEMOCRATS PUSH HIM? 
>> KAREN MALONEY WHO IS THE 
CHAIR AND THE COMMITTEE STARTED 
OFF BY TELLING POSTMASTER THAT 
SHE WOULD SUBPOENA RECORDS THAT 
HE WAS THE CLOSEST TO SUBMIT AND
THAT IF HE DOES NOT SUBMIT THE 
BY WEDNESDAY SHE AND THE 
COMMITTEE WOULD GIVE HIM 
SUBPOENA FOR THE RECORDS. IT WAS
CONTENTIONS AT TIMES HE APPEARED
FORTHCOMING AT SOME POINTS 
ESPECIALLY WHEN REPUBLICAN 
MEMBERS QUESTIONED HIM, BUT 
THERE WERE MOMENTS ONES I WOULD 
LIKE TO SHOW OF THIS MORNING'S 
HEARINGS, WHERE BOSTON 
CONGRESSMAN STEPHEN LYNCH 
QUESTIONED LEWIS TO JOY ABOUT 
THE MACHINES THAT HAD PULLED OUT
SO FAR, 
>> AS A FACT FINDER WE CAN 
ONLY REACH TWO CONCLUSIONS, ONE 
EITHER THROUGH 
GROSS INCOMPETENCE, YOU HAVE 
ENDED THE 240 YEAR HISTORY OF 
DELIVERING THE MAIL RELIABLY ON 
TIME. OR, THE SECOND CONCLUSION 
THAT WE 
COULD GATHER
IS THAT YOU ARE DOING THIS ON 
PURPOSE. AND THAT YOU ARE 
DELIBERATELY DISMANTLING THIS 
ONCE PROUD TRADITION. 
>> THE GENTLEMAN'S TIME HAS 
EXPIRED, THE GENTLEMAN MAY 
ANSWER THE QUESTION. 
>> MY LAST QUESTION IS THIS, 
WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING. 
>> WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING. 
>> THE GENTLEWOMAN TIME HAS 
EXPIRED, 
>> FIRST OF ALL I WOULD LIKE TO 
AGREE WITH YOU ON THE HEROIC 
EFFORTS OF OUR 650,000 EMPLOYEES
ACROSS THE NATION, AND THE 
HISTORY OF THE POSTAL SERVICE, 
WHERE THERE ARE 250 HISTORY OF 
SERVING THE AMERICAN PUBLIC, 
>> I'M 
VERY PROUD TO LEAD THE 
ORGANIZATION THE REST OF YOUR 
ACCUSATIONS ARE ACTUALLY 
OUTRAGEOUS. 
>> NO, I WILL NOT. 
>> THERE YOU 
GO. 
>>
SO THERE IS THE POSTMASTER 
DOUBLING DOWN THAT HE WILL NOT 
REPLACE ANY OF THE SORTING 
MACHINES OR ANY OF THE MAILBOXES
THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN TAKEN 
OUT, SO IT WAS VERY CONTENTIOUS 
AND SAID YOU MENTIONED THIS IS 
OVERSHADOWING THE CONVENTION 
SEASON, THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN 
TO HEARINGS ON THE HILL ABOUT 
THE POSTAL SERVICE ISSUES AND 
THE HOUSE VOTED ON A MEASURE, 
OVER THE WEEKEND THAT WOULD 
IN PEACE SOME CASH INTO THE 
POSTAL SERVICE AND STOP THEM FOR
MAKING CHANGES BEFORE ELECTION 
DAY BUT THAT OF COURSE IS NOT 
EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN UP BY THE 
SENATE. 
>> ALL RIGHT, RHONDA COLVIN, 
THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU CAN SEE 
THERE IN THE CORNER OF YOUR 
SCREEN, KIM KLACIK RUNNING FOR A
SEAT IN MARYLAND. SHE HAD A 
VIRAL VIDEO ABOUT DEMOCRATS. 
WHAT SHE CALLED A TREATMENT OF 
WRITING OFF INNER CITIES, THEY 
ARE ONE OF THE EARLIEST SPEAKERS
TONIGHT. WERE GOING TO HEAD TO 
THE CONVENTION IN JUST A MOMENT,
RHONDA McDANIEL WHO IS THE 
CHAIRPERSON OF 
THE GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE. AND 
SOMEONE INVOLVED IN RNC PLANNING
BUT THE REAL PLANNER OF A LOT OF
THIS IS PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP 
AND HIS TEAM. WE WILL HEAD TO 
THE CONVENTION IN A MOMENT, I 
WANT TO THANK MY GUESTS FOR 
SPENDING THEIR EVENING WITH US, 
LET'S THINK RHONDA COLVIN,  
JAMES HOHMANN, THANK YOU SO MUCH
TO AARON BLAKE,  AND KAREN 
TUMULTY. WE WILL BE BACK AFTER 
TONIGHT 
CONVENTION PROGRAMMING 
CONCLUDES, SO TAKE A MOMENT TO 
SUBSCRIBE WHILE YOU'RE WATCHING 
TO SO WE CAN KEEP YOU INFORMED 
ABOUT THIS CAMPAIGN SEASON WE 
WILL BE BACK THROUGHOUT THIS 
WEEK, SO STAY TUNED AND WE WILL 
BE BACK WITH YOU AT 11:00 P.M. 
AS THIS EVENT CONCLUDES, THE 
LAST SPEAKER SCHEDULED IS 
SENATOR TIM SCOTT, LET'S GO NOW 
TO THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL 
CONVENTION. 
>>> 
GOOD EVENING,
I'M RONNA McDANIEL CHAIRWOMAN OF
THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL 
COMMITTEE AND ON PATH OF 
EVERYONE IN OUR PARTY AND 
PRESIDENT TRUMP, THANK YOU FOR 
TUNING IN AS WE KICK OFF THIS 
HISTORIC CONVENTION. AS WE SPEAK
TO YOU TONIGHT, WE SEND OUR 
THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS TO THOSE 
FACING TERRIBLE FIRES IN 
CALIFORNIA, RECOVERING FROM 
STORMS IN IOWA, AND PREPARING 
FOR HURRICANES IN LOUISIANA, AND
THE GULF COAST. DEMOCRATS 
STARTED THEIR CONVENTION LAST 
WEEK WITH EVA LONGORIA. A FAMOUS
HOLLYWOOD ACTRESS WHO PLAYED A 
HOUSEWIFE 
ON TV. I AM ACTUALLY A REAL 
HOUSEWIFE, AND A MOM, FROM 
MICHIGAN. WITH TWO WONDERFUL 
KIDS IN PUBLIC SCHOOL, WHO 
HAPPENS TO BE THE ONLY SECOND 
WOMAN IN 164 YEARS TO RUN THE 
REPUBLICAN PARTY. UNLIKE JOE 
BIDEN, PRESIDENT TRUMP DIDN'T 
CHOOSE ME BECAUSE I AM A WOMAN, 
HE CHOSE ME BECAUSE I WAS THE 
BEST PERSON FOR THE JOB. 
>> FOUR YEARS AGO, PRESIDENT 
TRUMP STARTED A MOVEMENT UNLIKE 
ANY OTHER. OVER THE NEXT FOUR 
DAYS WE WILL HEAR FROM THE 
HARD-WORKING EVERYDAY AMERICANS 
WHO HAVE BENEFITED FROM HIS 
LEADERSHIP. IF YOU WATCH THE DNC
YOU PROBABLY NOTICED THAT 
DEMOCRATS SPENT A LOT 
OF TIME TALKING ABOUT HOW MUCH 
THEY DESPISE OUR PRESIDENT. BUT 
WE HEARD VERY LITTLE ABOUT THEIR
ACTUAL POLICIES. POLICIES THAT 
WOULD HAVE BEEN UNTHINKABLE A 
DECADE AGO. POLICIES LIKE 
BANNING FOSSIL FUELS, 
ELIMINATING PRIVATE HEALTH 
INSURANCE, TAXPAYER-FUNDED 
HEALTH CARE FOR PEOPLE WHO COME 
HERE ILLEGALLY, AND DEFUNDING 
THE POLICE. THEIR ARGUMENT FOR 
JOE BIDEN BOILS DOWN TO THE FACT
THAT THEY THINK HE IS A NICE 
GUY. LET ME TELL YOU, RAISING 
TAXES ON 82% OF AMERICANS IS NOT
NICE. ELIMINATING 10 MILLION 
GOOD PAYING OIL GAS DROPS 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, THERE IS ONLY ONE 
PERSON WHO HAS EMPATHIZED WITH 
EVERYDAY AMERICANS, AND ACTUALLY
BEEN FIGHTING FOR THEM OVER THE 
PAST FOUR YEARS. AND THAT IS 
PRESIDENT DONALD 
TRUMP. 
>> IN THE NEARLY 4 YEARS I HAVE 
WORKED ON BEHALF OF PRESIDENT 
TRUMP, I HAVE SEEN UP CLOSE A 
MAN WHO HAS A DEEP LOVE FOR 
FAMILY, A MAN 
WHO IS REVERENT FOR THE OFFICE 
OF THE PRESIDENCY. A MAN WITH AN
INCREDIBLE RESPECT FOR LAW 
ENFORCEMENT AND OUR MILITARY. I 
HAVE SEEN PRIVATE MOMENTS WHERE 
HE COMFORTS AMERICANS IN TIMES 
OF PAIN, AND SADNESS. NOW, 
EVERYONE KNOWS HE CAN BE TOUGH, 
HE IS TOUGH WHEN HE TAKES 
ON CHINA,
TOUGH WHEN HE WORKS TO FIX OUR 
UNFAIR TRADE DEALS, TOUGH WHEN 
HE FIGHTS TO SECURE OUR BORDERS,
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS ALWAYS GOING 
TO BE TOUGH WHEN HE IS FIGHTING 
FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, BECAUSE
NICE GUYS LIKE JOE, CARE MORE 
ABOUT COUNTRIES LIKE CHINA, AND 
IRAN THAN THE UNITED STATES OF 
AMERICA. TONIGHT, BEGINS A NEW 
CHAPTER IN THE GREAT AMERICAN 
STORY. A STORY THAT HAS INSPIRED
THE WORLD FOR GENERATIONS. AND 
WHEN WE REELECT PRESIDENT TRUMP,
THIS NOVEMBER, THE BEST IS YET 
TO 
COME.

MY NAME IS AMY FORD I'VE BEEN A 
REGISTERED NURSE FOR 17 YEARS. 
I'M FROM THE SMALL TOWN OF 
WILLIAM TING, WEST VIRGINIA 
WHERE I HAVE LIVED MY ENTIRE 
LIFE. THE DAUGHTER OF A NURSE 
AND A COALMINER. EVEN THOUGH I 
WAS THE YOUNGEST OF FOUR 
CHILDREN I WAS ALWAYS SOMEWHAT 
OF A CARETAKER. IT CAME NATURAL 
FOR ME. SO IT FELT RIGHT TO 
FOLLOW IN MY MOTHER'S FOOTSTEPS 
AND BECOME A NURSE. AND THIS 
MARCH, WITH COVID-19 IN OUR 
COUNTRY INTO CRISIS. I KNEW I 
HAD TO HELP ANY WAY THAT I 
COULD. I DEPLOYED TO NEW YORK IN
APRIL, AND THEN TO SAN ANTONIO, 
TEXAS WORKING AS A COVID-19 
RELIEF NURSE IN BOTH STATES. AS 
I CONTINUED WITH THE CHALLENGES 
OF TREATING OUR PATIENTS, WHO 
HAD THEIR WORLD TURNED UPSIDE 
DOWN, I NOTICED A POSITIVE 
CHANGE IN OUR HEALTH 
CARE SYSTEM. PRESIDENT TRUMP, 
RECOGNIZE THE THREAT THIS VIRUS 
PRESENTED FOR ALL AMERICANS 
EARLY ON, AND MADE RAPID POLICY 
CHANGES. AND AS 
A RESULT, TELEHEALTH SERVICES 
ARE NOW ACCESSIBLE TO MORE THAN 
71 MILLION AMERICANS, INCLUDING 
35 
MILLION CHILDREN. PRIOR TO 
COVID-19 TELEHEALTH WASN'T 
COVERED OR REIMBURSED UNDER 
MEDICARE, MEDICAID, 
OR CHIPS. THIS LEFT OUR MOST 
VULNERABLE POPULATIONS WITH NO 
OTHER CHOICE, BUT TO HAVE AN IN 
PERSON OFFICE VISIT WITH THEIR 
PHYSICIANS. INCREASING THEIR 
RISK OF EXPOSURE TO 
COVID-19 EXPONENTIALLY.
THE EXPANSION OF TELEHEALTH 
SERVICES HAS ALSO RESULTED IN 
THE INTEGRATION OF VIDEO VISITS 
BETWEEN PATIENTS AND THEIR 
FAMILIES. ALLOWING LOVED ONES 
WHO HAD CONTACT AND 
VISUALIZATIONS AS WELL AS A 
BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF CARE. 
TELEHEALTH HAS BEEN ESSENTIAL 
DURING THIS PANDEMIC. I DON'T 
WANT THE MEDIA TAKING MY 
PERSONAL STORY AND TWISTING IT, 
SO LET ME 
BE CLEAR. AS A HEALTH CARE 
PROFESSIONAL, I CAN TELL YOU 
WITHOUT HESITATION, DONALD 
TRUMP'S QUICK ACTION AND 
LEADERSHIP SAVED THOUSANDS OF 
LIVES DURING COVID-19. AND 
BENEFITS OF THAT RESPONSE EXTEND
FAR BEYOND CORONAVIRUS. 
TELEHEALTH WILL CONTINUE 
TO AID 
REGULAR CHECKUPS. THIS IS 
ESPECIALLY TRUE IN RURAL 
AMERICA. I LIVE IN A TOWN OF 
ABOUT 2000 PEOPLE. WE DO NOT 
HAVE BUSES, TRAINS, TROLLEYS OR 
GOOBERS AVAILABLE TO US. 
IN ADDITION, THE UNAVAILABILITY 
OF SERVICES CAN ALSO HINDER 
TREATMENT FOR ME. SO ACCESS 
TO HOTEL TELEHEALTH IS 
LIFESAVING. WE HAVE PRESIDENT 
TRUMP TO 
THINK. 
>>>
FROM THE VERY BEGINNING 
DEMOCRATS, THE MEDIA, AND THE 
WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION GOT 
CORONAVIRUS WRONG. THE WORLD 
HEALTH ORGANIZATION SAID 
AUTHORITIES HAVE FOUND NO CLEAR 
EVIDENCE OF HUMAN TO HUMAN 
TRANSMISSION. 
>> OVERALL MOST PEOPLE SHOULD 
NOT BE TERRIBLY CONCERNED BY IT.
>> EVERYTHING IS FINE HERE. WE 
DO WANT TO SAY COME TO 
CHINATOWN, WE ARE HERE, COME 
JOIN US. 
>> WE DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO 
BE AS BAD, ABOUT YOUR LIVES, GO 
ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS. 
>> ONE 
LEADER TOOK DECISIVE ACTION TO 
SAVE LIVES, PRESIDENT DONALD 
TRUMP, BANNING TRAVEL FROM CHINA
AND CORONAVIRUS 
EPICENTERS BIDEN
CHARGES XENOPHOBIA. PRESIDENT 
TRUMP WAS RIGHT SIGNING THE 
C.A.R.E.S. ACT PROVIDING 
IMMEDIATE RELIEF TO AMERICAN 
FAMILY WORKERS, AND BUSINESSES. 
DECLARING A NATIONAL EMERGENCY, 
TOPPING EMERGENCY FUNDING AND 
GETTING CRUCIAL PERSONAL 
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT TO THE 
STATES. SIGNING THE FAMILY'S 
FIRST CORONAVIRUS CONTRACT. 
INJURING AMERICAN FAMILIES AND 
BUSINESSES IMPACTED BY THE VIRUS
RECEIVED THE STRONG SUPPORT THEY
NEED, LAUNCHING OPERATION WARP 
SPEED TO FAST-TRACK A VACCINE IN
RECORD 
TIME. 
>>> HE SAID EVERYTHING THAT I 
COULD'VE SAID. PROMISED MATIC 
PROMISED KEPT HE IS 
READY, WILLING,
AND ABLE. 
>> HE HAS BEEN RESPONSIVE AND 
HAS DONE A LOT OF GOOD THINGS. 
>> WHAT THE GOVERNMENT DID, WAS 
A PHENOMENAL ACCOMPLISHMENT. IN 
OUR HOUR OF NEED YOU ALL ARE 
LITERALLY HELPING US IN A BIG 
WAY, WE WERE AT THE EDGE AND 
THIS IS LIFE OR DEATH STUFF, WE 
WERE FOREVER GRATEFUL TO DONALD 
TRUMP. 
>> WE ARE SAFER, STRONGER, AND 
GREATER THAN EVER. 
>>> I AM DR. G.E. 
GHALI,  CHANCELLOR OF A LARGE 
ACADEMIC MEDICAL RESEARCH CENTER
IN LOUISIANA. I FEEL UNIQUELY 
POSITIONED TO SHARE HOW 
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S DECISIVE 
LEADERSHIP LED TO 
A RAPID AND EFFICIENT RESPONSE 
TO THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC. I 
KNOW THIS AS A HEALTH 
PROFESSIONAL AND AS SOMEONE WHO 
HAS RECOVERED FROM COVID-19 
HIMSELF. THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, 
EXPLODED INTO OUR GREAT NATION 
WITH AN 
INTENSITY UNPARALLEL IN HISTORY.
BUT OUR MEDICAL INVESTIGATION 
AND DRUG DEVELOPMENT SYSTEMS 
WERE NOT DESIGNED FOR A 
PANDEMIC. THE DEVASTATING 
EFFECTS OF THE CORONAVIRUS 
DEMANDED IMMEDIATE CHANGES AT 
THE REGULATORY LEVEL. A 
PROMPT RESPONSE, LED BY 
PRESIDENT TRUMP, CLEARED AWAY 
THE RED TAPE THAT USUALLY MAKES 
DRUG APPROVALS A LONG AND DRAWN 
OUT PROCESS. BY HARNESSING THE 
RESOURCES THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
AND THE 
PRIVATE SECTOR
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S OPERATION WARP
SPEED IS ACCELERATING THE 
TESTING, SUPPLY, DEVELOPMENT, 
AND DISTRIBUTION OF 
THERAPEUTICS, DIAGNOSTICS, AND 
VERY SHORTLY AFFECTIVE VACCINES 
TO COUNTER COVID-19. LET ME GIVE
YOU THREE CLEAR EXAMPLES, OF HOW
PRESIDENT 
TRUMP'S LEADERSHIP WAS MOVED TO 
REGULATORY BARRIERS TO COVID-19 
PATIENT SO THEY COULD HAVE 
FASTER ACCESS TO EFFECTIVE 
THERAPIES AND DIAGNOSTICS. 
FIRST, ON 
FEBRUARY 26th, TWO PHASE THREE 
CLINICAL TRIALS, STUDYING 
REMDESIVIR, 
WERE INITIATED.
JUST TWO MONTHS LATER, THE FDA 
APPROVED REMDESIVIR FOR 
EMERGENCY USE TO TREAT COVID-19.
NORMALLY, THIS IS A 3 TO 5 YOUR 
PROCESS. THE AMAZING SPEED OF 
WHICH THIS HAPPENED IN A SAFE 
BUT EFFICIENT MANNER, IS UNHEARD
OF. SECOND, 
THE FDA GRADED EXPANDED ACCESS 
TO COVID-19 
CONVALESCENT PLASMA. WITHIN 24 
HOURS OF DISAPPROVAL, WE WERE 
ADMINISTERING CONVALESCENT 
PLASMA AND REMDESIVIR TO 
CRITICALLY ILL PATIENTS. A 
FORMER ARMY RANGER, 
AND PHYSICIAN. HAD IT NOT BEEN 
FOR THE RAPID DEPLOYMENT OF 
THESE MEDICINES, THIS PATIENT 
WHO IS MY COLLEAGUE AND FRIEND, 
WOULD HAVE SURELY DIED, AND A 
THIRD, AT THE END OF JULY 
I DEVELOPED A FEVER AND COUGH. I
REACHED OUT TO THE TESTING TEAM 
AND RECEIVED ONE OF THE HABIT 
RAPID TESTS. ANOTHER TOOL 
QUICKLY APPROVED BY 
THIS ADMINISTRATION. WITHIN 15 
MINUTES MY TEST CAME BACK 
POSITIVE AND WITHIN FOUR HOURS I
WAS RECEIVING MY REMDESIVIR 
DOSES FOLLOWED BY AN INFUSION OF
CONVALESCENT PLASMA. AS 
A PHYSICIAN, I HAVE SEEN 
FIRSTHAND HOW THESE 
BREAKTHROUGHS HAVE SAVED 
COUNTLESS LIVES. AS 
A PATIENT, I HAVE BENEFITED FROM
THE EXPEDITED THERAPIES MADE 
POSSIBLE BY THE SWIFT ACTION OF 
THIS ADMINISTRATION. PRESIDENT 
TRUMP TRULY MOVES MOUNTAINS TO 
SAVE LIVES AND HE 
DESERVES CREDIT. THANK YOU 
PRESIDENT TRUMP, FOR PROVIDING 
TIMELY ACCESS TO CRITICAL 
DIAGNOSTICS AND THERAPEUTICS 
DURING THIS PANDEMIC. THANK YOU 
MR. PRESIDENT FOR YOUR STRONG 
LEADERSHIP IN THESE 
CHALLENGING TIMES.
>> WHEN THE CHINA VIRUS INVADED 
OUR COUNTRY WE LAUNCH THE 
GREATEST MOBILIZATION OF 
AMERICAN SOCIETIES SINCE WORLD 
WAR II. PATRIOTS OF EVERY RACE, 
COLOR, AND CREED RALLIED 
TOGETHER TO DEFEAT THE INVISIBLE
ENEMY, AND SAVE THE LIVES OF 
THEIR FELLOW CITIZENS. TODAY, 
OUR HEARTS OVERFLOWED WITH 
APPRECIATION FOR THE INCREDIBLE 
FRONT-LINE WORKERS WHO RISK 
THEIR OWN HEALTH AND SAFETY TO 
KEEP AMERICA STRONG 
AND SAFE. WHEN CRISIS CAME 
MILLIONS OF EVERYDAY AMERICANS 
ROSE TO THE CHALLENGE. IN THEIR 
ACTIONS, WE SEE TRUE GREATNESS 
OF THE AMERICAN CHARACTERS. WE 
ALWAYS FIND A WAY 
TO VICTORY.
HISTORY WILL REMEMBER AND 
CELEBRATE THE HEROES OF 2020, 
FOR AS LONG AS OUR GREAT 
AMERICAN FLAG WAVES OVER THE 
LAND THAT WE LOVE. TO EVERY 
FRONT-LINE WORKER, I OFFER THE 
SALUTE OF A NATION FOREVER IN 
OUR DEBT. GOD BLESS YOU, AND GOD
BLESS AMERICA.
THESE ARE MY FRIENDS, THESE ARE 
THE INCREDIBLE WORKERS, THAT 
HELPED US SO MUCH WITH THE 
COVID-19. WE CAN QUOTE MANY 
DIFFERENT THINGS FROM CHINA 
VIRUS I DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH
ALL THE NAMES BECAUSE SOME 
PEOPLE MAY GET INSULTED THAT IS 
THE WAY IT IS. THESE ARE GREAT, 
GREAT PEOPLE. DOCTORS, 
NURSES, FIREMEN, POLICEMEN, WE 
WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU, YOU 
HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLE AND WE WANT
TO THANK YOU AND ALL OF THE 
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THAT YOU 
REPRESENT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
GREAT JOB, THANK YOU.

RID OF THE 
POSTAL WORKERS, I'VE GOT TO PUT 
THAT OUT THERE IF ANYONE DOES IT
IS THE DEMOCRATS, NOT THE 
REPUBLICANS, I WANT TO THANK YOU
VERY MUCH AND THINK EVERYONE IN 
THE BEAUTIFUL POST OFFICE 
SYSTEM, WE APPRECIATE IT. 
>> HOW ABOUT YOU? 
>> I AM A TRUCKER, I HAVE A 
SMALL BUSINESS IN OHIO, SOME OF 
OUR CUSTOMERS MADE HOSPITAL 
BEDS WITH MATERIALS. 
>> THAT IS FANTASTIC, 
CONGRATULATIONS, I LOVE THE 
TRUCKERS THERE ON MY SIDE. I 
THINK ALL OF THEM FRANKLY, I 
THINK PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THEM. 
>> I AM A CUSTODIAN, OF AN 
OFFICE AS WELL.

EVERYBODY'S DRUMS, ALL OF 
THAT.

HERE. 
>> HOW ABOUT YOU? 
>> I AM A REGISTERED NURSE, I 
WORK AT A NEW 
JERSEY HOSPITAL
I ALSO REPRESENT A NEW 
ORGANIZATION OF PROFESSIONAL 
OWNERSHIP CALLED THE NATIONAL 
ORGANIZATION OF PROFESSIONALS. I
WANT TO TELL YOU AS A NURSING 
SUPERVISOR I AM SO IN ALL OF 
YOUR 
LEADERSHIP, HONESTLY MANY PEOPLE
HAVE SAID OFTEN, INTERESTING 
THINGS BUT IT TAKES A TRUE 
LEADER TO BE ABLE TO IGNORE ALL 
OF THAT STUFF AND DO WHAT IS 
RIGHT, AND NOT BE OFFENDED BY 
ALL THE WORDS BEING SAID. AND 
YOU REALLY DO SHOW THAT POSITIVE
SPIRIT TO US, AND I APPRECIATE 
THAT, IT'S A GREAT, 
I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR THAT. 
>> I'M FOR THE NURSES AND THE 
DOCTORS, AND FOR EVERYBODY WE 
JUST HAVE TO MAKE THE CHINA 
VIRUS GO AWAY, AND IT ENDS 
HAPPY. PLEASE, GO AHEAD. 
>> I AM 
A NURSE OF A SKILLED NURSING 
FACILITY, I WANT TO THANK YOU 
AND YOUR ADMINISTRATION FOR ALL 
OF THE SUPPLIES AND THE SUPPORT 
AND THE FUNDING YOU HAVE GET THE
SKILLED NURSING UNITS, WITHOUT 
THAT WE COULDN'T DO AS WELL AS 
WE HAVE DONE, I SPENT SOME TIME 
IN NEW JERSEY, I LIVE IN WEST 
VIRGINIA, I DID SOME WORK THERE,
AND WE FINALLY STARTED A FEW 
THINGS, I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU 
SAID BECAUSE WE HAVE DELIVERED 
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS 
OF EQUIPMENT
THAT GOVERNORS WERE SUPPOSED TO 
GIVE AND IN MANY CASES THEY 
DIDN'T GET. SO THE FEDERAL 
GOVERNMENT HAD TO HELP THEM, AND
ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT DID THIS 
INCREDIBLE WORK THEY NEVER GOT 
CREDIT FOR IT. BUT YOU 
UNDERSTAND WHERE IT CAME FROM, 
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, THANK YOU 
BOTH, VERY NICE, PLEASE GO 
AHEAD. 
>> I'M A POLICE OFFICER IN 
ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO. I 
CONTRACTED COVID-19 IN LATE 
MARCH. I HAVE RECOVERED. 
>> THAT MEANS WE DON'T HAVE TO 
BE AFRAID OF YOU ANYMORE.

>> I WAS SICK FOR 10 DAYS, I GOT
EVERYTHING BESIDES THE COUGH, 
RECOVERED I WAS OFF WORK FOR A 
MONTH AND A HALF AND I WORK IN 
THE LOCAL COUNTY JAILS. 
>> DID THEY DO ANYTHING 
SPECIFICALLY TO HELP YOU 
RECOVER? 
>> THEY GAVE ME AS A PACK 
MEDICINE, AND IT WON'T EVEN ASK 
YOU ABOUT THE 
HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE, BECAUSE IT 
IS A SHAME WHAT THEY HAVE DONE 
TO THAT ONE. 
>> BUT, I TOOK IT I TOOK THE Z 
PACK ALSO, AND ZEKE. I WANT TO

AN HONOR TO HAVE YOU, YOU ARE 
FANTASTIC PEOPLE AND THE PEOPLE

YOU ALL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
>> THANK YOU 
VERY MUCH, I APPRECIATE IT. 
>> GOOD EVENING I'M CONGRESSMAN 
JIM JORDAN, REPRESENTING THE 
FOURTH DISTRICT OF OHIO. THE 
REPUBLICAN PARTY IS THE 
PRO-AMERICAN PARTY AND PRESIDENT
TRUMP IS THE PRO-AMERICAN 
CANDIDATE, THIS IS 
ABOUT RESERVING INSTITUTIONS 
THAT MAKE AMERICA GREAT, DON'T 
BELIEVE ME, LOOK AT WHAT IS 
HAPPENING IN AMERICAN CITIES. 
CITIES RUN BY DEMOCRATS, CRIME, 
VIOLENCE, AND MOB WOULD, 
DEMOCRATS REFUSED TO DENOUNCE 
THE MOB AND THE RESPONSE TO THE 
CHAOS, THE FUND THE POLICE, 
DEFINED BORDER PATROL, AND HE 
FROM THE MILITARY. WHILE THEY 
ARE DOING ALL OF THIS. THEY'RE 
ALSO TRYING TO TAKE AWAY YOUR 
GUNS, LOOK AT THE POSITIONS THEY
HAVE TAKEN IN THE PAST 
FEW MONTHS.
DEMOCRATS WON'T LET YOU GO TO 
CHURCH, BUT THEY WILL LET YOU 
PROTEST. DEMOCRATS WILL LET YOU 
GO TO WORK, BUT THEY WILL LET 
YOU RIOT. DEMOCRATS WON'T LET 
YOU GO TO SCHOOL, BUT THEY WILL 
LET YOU GO LOOT. PRESIDENT TRUMP
IS FOUGHT AGAINST THE GREEDY 
IDEAS. HE'S TAKEN ON THE SWAMP. 
ALL OF THE SWAMP. THE DEMOCRATS,
THE PRESS, AND THE TRUMPER'S. 
WHEN YOU TAKE ON THE SWAMP THE 
SWAMP FIGHTS BACK. THEY TRIED TO
RUSH A HOAX, THE MOLAR 
INVESTIGATION AND THE FAKE 
IMPEACHMENT. BUT IN SPITE OF 
THIS UNBELIEVABLE OPPOSITION 
THIS PRESIDENT HAS DONE WHAT HE 
SAID HE WOULD DO. TAXES CUTS, 
REGULATIONS REDUCED, ECONOMY 
GROWING, LOWEST UNEMPLOYMENT IN 
50 YEARS, HOSTAGES HOME FROM 
NORTH KOREA, THE YOU U.S. 
AGREEMENT, AND HE IS BUILDING 
THE WALL AND REBUILDING OUR 
ECONOMY AS 
WE SPEAK.
I LOVE THE PRESIDENT'S 
INTENSITY, AND HIS WILLINGNESS 
TO FIGHT EVERYDAY IN WASHINGTON 
FOR OUR FAMILIES. WHAT I ALSO 
APPRECIATE ABOUT THE PRESIDENT 
IS SOMETHING MOST AMERICANS 
NEVER GET TO SEE. HOW MUCH HE 
TRULY CARES ABOUT PEOPLE. OUR 
FAMILY HAS SEEN IT, TWO 
YEARS AGO, OUR NEPHEW ELI WAS 
KILLED IN A CAR ACCIDENT, HE 
LIVED A MILE UP THE ROAD FROM 
US, GREW UP WRESTLING AND 
TRAINING WITH OUR BOYS. WAS A 
HIGH SCHOOL STATE CHAMPIONSHIP 
VARSITY ATHLETE, FOR THE 
UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN, 
SATURDAY MORNING, THREE DAYS 
AFTER THE ACCIDENT, I WALKED TO 
THE CAR TO HEAD UP TO ELI'S 
PARENTS HOME WHEN THE PRESIDENT 
CALLED. WE TALKED ABOUT A FEW 
ISSUES, AND THEN HE ASKED HOW 
THE FAMILY 
WAS DOING.
I SAID THEY'RE DOING OKAY, BUT 
IT IS TOUGH. 
>> THE PRESIDENT SAID YEAH, 
LOSING A LOVED ONE IS ALWAYS 
DIFFICULT. AND IT IS REALLY 
TOUGH, WHEN THEY'RE SO YOUNG. I 
THEN SAID MR. PRESIDENT I AM 
ACTUALLY WALKING INTO THE HOUSE 
RIGHT NOW. OBVIOUSLY THEY DON'T 
KNOW I AM TALKING TO YOU, BUT IF
YOU WOULD BE WILLING TO SAY 
HELLO TO ELI'S DAD, YOU WOULD 
MAKE A TERRIBLE DAY A LITTLE 
LESS TERRIBLE, WHAT'S HIS NAME 
THE PRESIDENT ASKED, I WALKED 
THROUGH THE DOOR AND SAID TODD, 
THE PRESIDENT WANTS TO TALK TO 
YOU, FOR THE NEXT FIVE MINUTES 
FAMILY AND FRIENDS SAT IN 
COMPLETE SILENCE AS THE 
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES 
TOOK TIME TO TALK TO A DAD WHO 
WAS HURTING. THAT IS THE 
PRESIDENT I'VE GOTTEN TO KNOW 
THE PAST FOUR YEARS. PRESIDENT 
TO SHARED PRIVATE MOMENTS LIKE 
THIS WITH SOLDIERS, VICTIMS OF 
VIOLENT CRIMES, AND PEOPLE WHO 
HAVE HAD BUSINESSES DESTROYED BY
THE MOB. THAT IS THE INDIVIDUAL 
WHO HAS MADE AMERICA GREAT 
AGAIN, AND WHO KNOWS AMERICA'S 
BEST DAYS ARE STILL IN FRONT OF 
US. THAT IS WHY I AM BUSTING MY 
TAIL TO GET HIM REELECTED. I'M 
ASKING YOU TO DO THE SAME. THANK
YOU, GOD BLESS OUR COUNTRY. 
>> I'M NOT AN ACTOR, A SENIOR OR
POLITICIAN. I'M HERSCHEL WALKER.
MOST OF YOU KNOW ME AS A 
FOOTBALL PLAYER, BUT I'M ALSO A 
FATHER, A MAN OF FAITH, AND A 
VERY GOOD JUDGE OF CHARACTER. I 
HAVE KNOWN DONALD TRUMP FOR 37 
YEARS. AND I DON'T 
MEAN JUST CASUALLY RAN INTO HIM 
FROM TIME TO TIME I'M TALKING 
ABOUT A DEEP PERSONAL 
FRIENDSHIP. I WATCHED 
HIM AS A PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL 
TEAM LEADER, RIGHT AFTER HE 
BOUGHT THE TEAM HE SAID I HAVE 
TO LEARN. HE LEARNED ABOUT THE 
HISTORY OF THE TEAM, THE 
COACHES, 
EVERY DETAIL. THEN HE USED WHAT 
HE LEARNED TO MAKE THE TEAM 
BETTER. I WATCHED HIM IN THE 
BOARD ROOM, HE CAN BE IN THE 
MIDDLE OF A BIG MEETING BUT IF 
ONE OF THE KIDS WAS ON THE 
PHONE, HE WOULD DROP EVERYTHING 
TO TAKE THE CALL. HE TAUGHT ME 
THAT FAMILY SHOULD BE YOUR TOP 
PRIORITY. I WATCHED 
HIM TREAT
JANITORS, SECURITY GUARDS, AND 
WAITERS THE SAME WAY HE WOULD 
TREAT A VIP. HE MADE THEM FEEL 
SPECIAL, BECAUSE HE KNEW THEY 
WERE. HE UNDERSTANDS THAT THEY 
ARE THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE THIS 
COUNTRY RUN. THEY CLAIM, THEY 
COOK, THEY BUILD, THEY DRIVE, 
THEY DELIVER. HE TOLD ME, 
HERSCHEL WALKER MAKE AN EFFORT 
TO GET TO KNOW PEOPLE. REMEMBER 
THEIR NAMES, THAT STUCK WITH ME.
AT RUN TIME, I PLAN TO TAKE HIS 
KIDS TO DISNEY WORLD WITH MY 
FAMILY, AND AT THE LAST MINUTE 
DONALD TRUMP SAID HE WOULD LIKE 
TO JOIN US. SO THERE HE WAS, IN 
A BUSINESS SUIT, ON IT'S A SMALL
WORLD RIDE, THAT WAS SOMETHING 
TO SEE. IT JUST SHOWS YOU WHAT A
CARING AND LOVING FATHER HE IS, 
IT HURT MY SOUL TO HEAR THE 
CHILDREN'S NAME THAT THEY CALL 
HIM. THE WORST ONE IS RACIST. I 
TAKE IT AS A PERSONAL INSULT THE
PEOPLE WOULD THINK I HAD A 37 
YEAR FRENCH UP WITH A RACIST. 
PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT DON'T KNOW
WHAT THEY'RE 
TALKING ABOUT. GROWING UP IN THE
DEEP SOUTH, I HAVE SEEN RACISM 
UP CLOSE. I KNOW WHAT IT IS. AND
IT ISN'T DONALD 
TRUMP. 
>> JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE LOVES 
AND RESPECTS THE FLAG, OUR 
NATIONAL ANTHEM AND OUR COUNTRY,
DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEY DON'T 
CARE ABOUT SOCIAL JUSTICE. I 
CARE ABOUT ALL OF THOSE THINGS. 
SO DOES DONALD TRUMP. HE SHOWS 
HOW MUCH HE CARES ABOUT SOCIAL 
JUSTICE IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY 
THROUGH HIS ACTIONS. AND HIS 
ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN 
STICKERS OR SLOGANS ON A JERSEY.
HE COMES RIGHT ON FIGHTING TO 
IMPROVE BLACK AMERICANS, AND ALL
AMERICANS. HE WORKED NIGHT AND 
DAY, HE NEVER STOPPED, HE LEAVES
NOTHING ON THE FIELD. SOME 
PEOPLE DON'T LIKE 
HIS STYLE, THE WAY HE KNOCKS 
DOWN OBSTACLES THAT GET IN THE 
WAY OF 
HIS GOALS. PEOPLE ON THE 
OPPOSING TEAM ARE GOING TO GET 
RAN OVER BY HIM, BUT THAT IS HOW
YOU GET THE JOB DONE. I PRAY 
EVERY NIGHT THAT GOD GIVES HIM 
MORE TIME, GIVES HIM FOUR MORE 
YEARS, HE HAS ACCOMPLISHED SO 
MUCH ALL BY HIMSELF ON A 
CONSTANT ATTACK.
BUT THERE IS STILL MORE WORK TO 
BE DONE, IF YOU LOVE AMERICA AND
WANT TO MAKE IT BETTER, DONALD 
TRUMP IS YOUR PRESIDENT. HE IS 
MY PRESIDENT, AND I AM BLESSED 
TO CALL HIM A FRIEND. 
>> GOOD EVENING, I'M 
NATALIE HARP OF FORMERLY 
FORGOTTEN AMERICA FROM 
CALIFORNIA. IN THE CLASSIC JIMMY
STEWART FILM IT'S A WONDERFUL 
LIFE, GEORGE BAILEY IS GIVEN A 
GREAT GIFT, THE CHANCE TO SEE 
WHAT THE WORLD WOULD BE LIKE 
WITHOUT HIM. TONIGHT MR. 
PRESIDENT WE WOULD LIKE TO GIVE 
YOU THE SAME GIFT. BECAUSE 
WITHOUT YOU, WE WOULD ALL BE 
LIVING IN POTTERSVILLE. SOLD OUT
TO A CROOKED MR. OR I SHOULD SAY
A CROOKED 
MR. POTTER. WITH NO HELP TO 
ESCAPE BUT ITSELF. I WOULDN'T BE
ALIVE TODAY, IF IT WASN'T FOR 
YOU. ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO I WAS 
A VICTIM OF A 
NOTORIOUSLY MEDICAL
ERROR, I SURVIVED BUT ONLY TO BE
DIAGNOSED WITH A RARE N-TERMINAL
BONE CANCER. YOU KNOW, THE 
DEMOCRATS LOVE TO TALK ABOUT 
HEALTH CARE BEING A HUMAN RIGHT.
BUT A RIGHT TO WHAT? WELL, I 
WILL TELL YOU. TO THEM, IT IS A 
RIGHT TO MARIJUANA, OPIOIDS, AND
THE RIGHT TO DIE WITH DIGNITY. A
POLITICALLY CORRECT WAY OF 
SAYING ASSISTED SUICIDE. I WAS 
TOLD I WAS A BURDEN TO MY 
FAMILY, AND TO 
MY COUNTRY, AND IF BY CHOOSING 
TO DIE EARLY I WOULD ACTUALLY BE
SAVING THE LIVES OF OTHERS, BUT 
PRESERVING RESOURCES FOR THEM, 
RATHER THAN WASTING THEM ON A 
LOST CAUSE 
LIKE MYSELF.
AND WHEN I FEEL THE 
CHEMOTHERAPIES THAT WERE ON THE 
MARKET, NO ONE WANTED ME IN 
THEIR CLINICAL TRIALS, I WOULD 
MAKE THEM LOOK BAD. THEY DIDN'T 
GIVE ME THE RIGHT TO TRY 
EXPERIMENTAL TREATMENTS MR. 
PRESIDENT YOU DID. AND WITHOUT 
YOU, I WOULD HAVE DIED WAITING 
FOR THEM TO BE APPROVED, NOW, 
WITH THE CORONAVIRUS EVERYONE 
KNOWS WHAT THAT FEELS LIKE TO BE
WAITING FOR A CURE. BUT WE HAVE 
ONLY BEEN WAITING A FEW MONTHS, 
JUST IMAGINE WHAT 2020 WOULD'VE 
LOOKED LIKE FIGHTING FOR YOUR 
LIFE, WITHOUT DONALD TRUMP. 
FIGHTING FOR 
IT TO. AND, IN JANUARY THERE 
WOULD HAVE BEEN NO TRYING TO 
TRAVEL BAN, MILLIONS WOULD HAVE 
DIED, MILLIONS MORE WOULD HAVE 
BEEN INFECTED, THERE WOULD BE NO
RECORD LEVELS OF TESTING, NO 
RIGHT TO TRY TREATMENTS, NO FAST
TRACK FOR A VACCINE, NOR 
OPERATION WARP SPEED READY TO 
DELIVER IT. AND WITHOUT DONALD 
TRUMP, AS OUR PATIENT ADVOCATE 
FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS, WELL, 
THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC WOULD HAVE 
STOLEN EVEN MORE LIVES FOR MORE 
FAMILIES. KIDNEY PATIENTS, WOULD
HAVE NO FUTURE, EXCEPT DYING ON 
WAIT LISTS, FURTHER BE KNOWN AS 
INITIATIVES TO INCREASE 
DONATIONS. THERE WOULD STILL BE 
NO ACCOUNTABILITY AT THE VA, AND
OUR BRAVE VETERANS WOULD STILL 
BE SUFFERING LONG WAIT TIMES 
WITH NO CHOICE, OR ACCESS TO 
FASTER CARE, INSULIN AND OTHER 
DRUG PRICES WOULD HAVE CONTINUED
TO RISE WHILE THE RECORD NUMBER 
OF GENERIC DRUGS WOULD STILL BE 
STUCK IN THE PIPELINE. THERE 
WOULD BE NO PRICE TRANSPARENCY. 
WE WOULDN'T HAVE HEALTH PLANS OF
60% CHEAPER THAN OBAMA CARE AND 
WE WOULD STILL BE STUCK WITH 
THAT INFAMOUS INDIVIDUAL 
MANDATE. AND GOD FORBID, WITH 
THE NEXT FOUR YEARS WOULD 
LOOK LIKE. JOE BIDEN'S AMERICA? 
CHINA WOULD CONTROL OUR DRUG 
PRODUCTION. WE WOULD BE ONE STEP
CLOSER TO GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH 
CARE, 
WE WOULDN'T JUST BE UNABLE TO 
KEEP HER DOCTORS WE WOULD BE 
LUCKY IF WE COULD SEE ANY 
DOCTOR, AND EVEN THEN, SOME OF 
US WOULD BE DENIED CARE, FOR 
SOCIALIZED MEDICINE, YOU DON'T 
BEAT THE ODDS, YOU BECOME THE 
ODDS. AND I WOULD LOSE MY RIGHT 
TO TRY. JUST LIKE CHARLIE GUARD,
THE TERMINALLY ILL BRITISH BABY,
WHOSE GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE
SYSTEM DECIDED IT WAS TOO 
EXPENSIVE, AND TO CRUEL, TO KEEP
HIM ALIVE. YOU SHOULD SEE MR. 
PRESIDENT, HE HAS DONE SO MUCH 
MORE THAN YOUR PROMISES MADE AND
PROMISES KEPT, FOR NUMBERS ONLY 
UNTIL PART OF THE STORY. WE ARE 
THE REST 
OF IT. FAX WITH FACES OF 
AMERICANS WHO WOULD STILL BE 
FORGOTTEN, 
IF YOU AND OUR FAVORITE FIRST 
LADY, HADN'T GIVEN UP YOUR OWN 
WONDERFUL LIFE, SO THAT WE COULD
HAVE THE CHANCE 
AT ONE. GEORGE BAILEY, FATHER 
WAS RIGHT. ALL YOU CAN TAKE WITH
YOU, IS THAT WHAT YOU HAVE GIVEN
AWAY. MR. PRESIDENT, THAT MAKES 
YOU THE RICHEST MAN IN THE 
WORLD. FOR YOU HAVE USED 
YOUR STRENGTHS,
TO MAKE AMERICA STRONG AGAIN. 
SACRIFICED THE LIFE YOU BUILT, 
TO MAKE AMERICA PROUD AGAIN. AND
YOU RISKED EVERYTHING, TO MAKE 
AMERICA SAFE AGAIN. IT IS A 
WONDERFUL LIFE, 
YOU MADE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN AND
ON NOVEMBER 3rd, WE ARE GOING TO
KEEP AMERICA 
GREAT. 
>>
HELLO AMERICA, MY NAME IS VERNON
JONES AND I'M THE STATE 
REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE GREAT 
STATE OF GEORGIA. AS YOU CAN 
SEE, I AM A MAN OF COLOR. AND 
I'M A LIFELONG DEMOCRAT TOO. YOU
MAY 
BE WONDERING, WHY IS A LIFELONG 
DEMOCRAT SPEAKING AT THE 
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION. 
AND THAT IS A FAIR QUESTION. AND
HERE IS 
YOUR ANSWER. THE DEMOCRATIC 
PARTY DOES NOT WANT BLACK PEOPLE
TO LEAD THEIR MENTAL PLANTATION.
WE HAVE BEEN FORCED TO BE THERE 
FOR DECADES AND GENERATIONS. 
BUT, I HAVE NEWS FOR JOE BIDEN, 
WE ARE FREE, WE ARE A FREE 
PEOPLE WITH FREE MINDS, AND I'M 
TALKING ABOUT A LARGE AND 
GROWING SEGMENT OF THE BLACK 
COMMUNITY OR INDEPENDENT 
THINKERS AND WE BELIEVE THAT 
DONALD TRUMP, IS THE PRESIDENT 
THAT AMERICA NEEDS TO LEAD 
US FORWARD. THIS IS NO TIME FOR 
SLEEPING IN THE BASEMENT. JOE 
BIDEN HAS HAD 47 YEARS TO 
PRODUCE RESULTS.
BUT, HE'S BEEN ALL TALK AND NO 
ACTION. JUST LIKE SO MANY OF THE
DEMOCRATS WHO HAVE BEEN MAKING 
PROMISES TO THE BLACK VOTERS FOR
DECADES, WE HAVE BEEN THEIR 
CAPTIVE AUDIENCE, WHEN PRESIDENT
TRUMP SOUGHT TO EARN THE BLACK 
VOTE, THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY 
LEADERS WENT CRAZY. NANCY PELOSI
AND CHUCK SCHUMER LITERALLY 
STARTED WORRYING CLOTHS AROUND 
THE U.S. CAPITAL. AND, IT'S 
PANDERING IF THAT WEREN'T ENOUGH
TO KEEP US SATISFIED. LET ME 
TELL YOU WHY I AM SUPPORTING 
OUR PRESIDENT. I GREW UP IN THE 
SOUTH, AT LAURA HILL NORTH 
CAROLINA, SCOTLAND COUNTY. THE 
GREEN POND COMMUNITY TO BE 
EXACT. MY PARENTS BUILT WITH 
THEIR OWN HANDS OF FOUR ROOM 
CINDERBLOCK HOME WITH NO INDOOR 
PLUMBING. THEY HAD NO LIMITED 
EDUCATION. BUT THEY 
ARE STILL INSTILLING A STRONG 
WORK ETHIC THAT DROVE ME FROM 
THOSE TOBACCO FIELDS OF NORTH 
CAROLINA, TO THOSE HOLLOWED 
HALLS OF THE GEORGIA 
GENERAL ASSEMBLY. MY PARENTS 
TAUGHT ME, IF I BELIEVED IN GOD,
WORKED HARD, AND TREATED EVERY 
PERSON FAIRLY, THERE WAS NO 
LIMIT TO WHAT WE COULD ACHIEVE. 
I ATTENDED NORTH CAROLINA 
CENTRAL UNIVERSITY IN A 
HISTORICAL BLACK COLLEGE. FOR 
GENERATIONS, HBCUs HAVE BEEN THE
INCUBATORS THAT DEVELOP LACK 
SCHOLARS AND MASS AND SCIENCE 
AND ENGINEERING, AND POLITICS. 
THEY HAVE 
BEEN IMPORTED
SPRINGBOARDS FOR THE BLACK 
SUCCESS. BUT, DEMOCRATS HAVE 
ENTREATED THEM THAT WAY. WHEN 
PRESIDENT TRUMP TOOK OFFICE HE 
CHANGED EVERYTHING. HE DELIVERED
HISTORIC FUNDING TO HBCUs, AND 
HE GUARANTEED IT FOR 10 YEARS, 
SOMETHING HAS NEVER HAPPENED IN 
THE HISTORY OF 
THIS COUNTRY. THAT GAVE OUR 
HBCUs, STABILITY, THE CHANCE TO 
GROW, AND PRODUCE THE NEXT 
GENERATION OF BLACK LEADERS. 
THAT IS RIGHT, DONALD TRUMP DID 
THAT. HE IS ALSO SUPPORTING 
SCHOOL 
OF CHOICE, TO ENSURE THAT NO 
CHILD, NO MATTER THEIR RACE, OR 
ZIP CODE IS 
LEFT BEHIND.
EVERY CHILD SHOULD HAVE ACCESS 
TO A QUALITY EDUCATION. BUT 
EDUCATION IS JUST THE BEGINNING.
THE PRESIDENT ALSO BUILT THE 
MOST INCLUSIVE ECONOMY EVER, 
WITH LOW UNEMPLOYMENT FOR 
AFRICAN-AMERICANS AND RECORD 
HIGH PARTICIPATION IN THE 
WORKFORCE. HE PUT OPPORTUNITIES 
ON 
THE TOP TAX BILL THAT WOULD 
DRIVE INVESTMENT INTO OUR 
COMMUNITIES FOR DECADES TO COME.
HE PUT THE INTEREST OF AMERICAN 
WORKERS AND ESPECIALLY BLACK 
WORKERS, FIRST. THAT'S RIGHT, 
DONALD TRUMP 
DID THAT. HE DELIVERED HISTORIC 
CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM, HE 
ENDED ONCE AND FOR ALL THE 
POLICY OF INCARCERATIONS OF 
BLACK PEOPLE. WHICH HAS 
DECIMATED OUR COMMUNITIES CAUSED
BY NO OTHER THAN JOE BIDEN. 
DEMOCRATS WOULDN'T DO IT, OBAMA 
DIDN'T WANT TO 
DO IT,
AND JOE BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS 
DEFINITELY WOULDN'T DO IT. BUT 
DONALD TRUMP DID IT. HE IS ALSO 
WORKING EVERY DAY TO MAKE OUR 
COMMUNITY SAFER. AS A FORMER 
EXECUTIVE OF DeKALB COUNTY, 
GEORGIA, I DIRECTED ONE OF THE 
LARGEST PUBLIC SAFETY 
DEPARTMENTS IN THE SOUTHEAST. I 
HAVE SEEN TRAGIC SHOOTINGS ON 
BOTH SIDES. OFFICERS KILLING 
CITIZENS AND CITIZENS KILLING 
OFFICERS IN THE LINE OF DUTY. 
POLICE OFFICERS ARE CITIZENS, 
THEY LIVE IN OUR COUNTRY, THEY 
HAVE FAMILIES TO. THEY LIVE IN 
OUR COMMUNITIES, UNFORTUNATELY 
DEMOCRATS HAVE TURNED 
THEIR BACKS ON OUR BRIEF POLICE 
OFFICERS. THEY CALL 
IT DEFUNDING. AND IT IS A DANGER
TO OUR CITIES, OUR 
NEIGHBORHOODS, AND 
OUR CHILDREN. ISN'T IT IRONIC 
THAT DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS HAVE
PERSONAL SECURITY TO PROTECT 
THEM SO WHY DON'T THEY FORGO 
THEIR SECURITY AND REPLACE THEM 
WITH 
SOCIAL WORKERS? ESPECIALLY SINCE
THAT IS WHAT THEY WANT FOR YOU 
AND ME. OUR POLICE NEED MORE 
FUNDING NOT LESS. FOR FREQUENT 
PSYCHOLOGICAL EXAMINATIONS, OR 
NON-LETHAL REMOTE RESTRAINT 
TECHNOLOGY AND FOR MORE 
DE-ESCALATION AND USE OF FORCE 
TRAINING. THESE ARE OUR COMMON 
SENSE SOLUTIONS THAT PRESIDENT 
TRUMP SUPPORTS, TRUE SINCERE 
POLICE 
REFORM IT. THAT IS RIGHT, DONALD
TRUMP DID THAT TOO. EDUCATION, 
JOBS, SAFETY, SECURITY, ON ISSUE
AFTER ISSUE, AND IN JUST A 
SINGLE TERM, HE DESTROYED THESE 
NEGATIVE FORCES THAT HAD 
VICTIMIZED THE BLACK COMMUNITY, 
FOR DECADES. HE GAVE US THE 
OPPORTUNITY 
TO RISE. NOW, YOU KNOW WHEN I 
MADE THE PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT OF 
MY SUPPORT FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP, 
ALL BROKE LOOSE.  I WAS 
THREATENED, CALLED AN 
EMBARRASSMENT, AND ASKED TO 
RESIGN BY MY OWN PARTY. 
UNFORTUNATELY, THAT IS 
CONSISTENT WITH THE DEMOCRATIC 
PARTY AND HOW THEY VIEW 
INDEPENDENT THINKING BLACK MEN 
AND WOMEN. BUT I AM HERE TO TELL
YOU, THAT BLACK VOICES ARE 
BECOMING MORE WOKE, AND LOUDER 
THAN EVER. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY 
HAS BECOME INFECTED WITH THE 
PANDEMIC, OF INTOLERANCE, 
BIGOTRY, SOCIALISM, 
ANTI-LAW ENFORCEMENT,
AND A DANGEROUS TYRANT FOR 
PEOPLE WHO ATTACK OTHERS DESTROY
THEIR PROPERTY, AND TERRORIZE 
OUR OWN COMMUNITIES. THAT IS 
WHAT THIS ELECTION IS ALL ABOUT.
IN THAT IS WHY RIGHT NOW MORE 
THAN EVER, MORE THAN EVER 
BEFORE, AMERICA NEEDS DONALD 
TRUMP IN THE OVAL OFFICE FOR 
ANOTHER FOUR YEARS. GOD BLESS 
YOU, AND VOTE DONALD J TRUMP, 
THANK 
YOU. 
>>>
IN 2018 A GUNMAN WALKED INTO 
STONEMAN DOUGLAS HIGH SCHOOL AND
CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER.  MY 
NAME IS ANDREW POLLACK HIS NAME 
ISN'T 
WORTH SAYING. ONE OF THE SENIORS
WALKING IN THE HALLWAY THAT DAY 
WAS MY BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER. 
MEADOW, SHE WAS JUST MONTHS AWAY
FROM GRADUATING AND BEGINNING A 
NEW LIFE. WE WERE SO PROUD OF 
THE WOMAN SHE HAD BECOME. BUT IN
THE HALLWAY ON THE THIRD FLOOR, 
THE GUNMEN SAW MEADOW, AND SHOT 
HER DOWN THE HALLWAY. HITTING 
HER 
FOUR TIMES,
AFTER SHE WAS SHOT, AND ON THE 
FLOOR, SHE CRAWLED OVER TO 
ANOTHER STUDENT, A FRESHMAN GIRL
TO 
PROTECT HER. SHE PUT HER BODY 
OVER HERS AND THEN THE SCUMBAG 
GUNMEN SHOT MY DAUGHTER AT POINT
BLANK RANGE FIVE MORE TIMES. 
KILLING MEADOW, AND THE GIRL SHE
WAS SHIELDING. SHE HAD HER WHOLE
LIFE AHEAD OF HER. AND IN 
THAT LIFE, SHE COULD HAVE DONE 
ANYTHING AND BEEN ANYTHING. SO 
MANY MOMENTS, THAT I WAITED SO 
LONG FOR WERE TAKEN FROM ME. I 
DIDN'T GET TO DROP HER OFF AT 
COLLEGE, I DIDN'T GET TO WALK 
HER DOWN 
THE AISLE.
BUT EVERY MOMENT, WAS TAKEN FROM
HER AND FOR WHAT? I NEVER WANTED
THIS TO BECOME A POLITICAL 
SPECTACLE, BUT IT DID. I NEVER 
WANTED TO MEET THE PRESIDENT 
LIKE THIS, BUT I DID. I WAS 
INVITED TO THE WHITE HOUSE, THE 
TRUTH IS I JUST BURIED MY 
DAUGHTER THAT WEEK. I REALLY 
WASN'T INTERESTED IN PUBLIC 
EVENTS LIKE A TOUR OR A PHOTO 
OP, I WAS INTERESTED IN ANSWERS 
AND SOLUTIONS. SO IF THE 
PRESIDENT WANTED TO MEET ME 
PERSONALLY I SAID I WOULD GO, 
THEY SAID OF COURSE THAT WAS HIS
PLAN. AT THE WHITE HOUSE MY 
FAMILY AND I SAT WITH THE 
PRESIDENT IN THE OVAL OFFICE AND
TOLD HIM ABOUT MEADOW. I TOLD 
THEM WHAT 
WE KNEW, I TOLD THEM THAT HIS 
ADMINISTRATION NEEDED TO TAKE A 
CLOSER LOOK AT WHAT WENT WRONG 
AND WHY. AND I GOT TO SEE WHO 
PRESIDENT TRUMP REALLY IS. HE IS
A GOOD MAN AND A GREAT LISTENER 
AND HE CUTS THROUGH THE BS. THEN
THE PRESIDENT DID WHAT HE SAID 
HE WOULD DO, HE TOOK ACTION. HE 
FORMED THE SCHOOL SAFETY 
COMMISSION THAT ISSUED DOZENS OF
RECOMMENDATIONS TO MAKE 
SCHOOLS SAFER. BUT I WILL BET 
YOU NEVER HEARD ABOUT THAT. 
INSTEAD, THE MEDIA TURNED MY 
DAUGHTER'S MURDER INTO A 
COORDINATED ATTACK ON PRESIDENT 
TRUMP. REPUBLICANS, AND OUR 
SECOND AMENDMENT, 
IN FACT WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP 
ASKED ME AND OTHER PARENTS OF 
CHILDREN THAT WERE MURDERED IN 
SCHOOL SHOOTINGS TO JOIN HIM AS 
HE ANNOUNCED THE COMMISSION'S 
FINDINGS THE MEDIA'S FIRST 
QUESTION WASN'T ABOUT PROTECTING
KIDS, SHOCKINGLY THEY ASKED 
ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP TURNED TO ME 
APPALLED AND SAID CAN YOU 
BELIEVE 
THESE PEOPLE. WE ARE TRYING TO 
TALK ABOUT SCHOOL SAFETY, AND 
THIS IS WHAT THEY DO. BUT I 
COULD BELIEVE IT. AFTER MY 
DAUGHTER'S MURDER, THE MEDIA 
DIDN'T SEEM INTERESTED IN THE 
FACTS. I FOUND THEM MYSELF. I 
LEARNED THAT GUN CONTROL LAWS 
DIDN'T FILL MY DAUGHTER 
PEOPLE DID. THE GUY HAD 
THREATENED TO KILL HIS 
CLASSMATES BEFORE, HE HAD 
THREATENED TO SHOOT UP THE 
SCHOOL, EVERY RED FLAG YOU COULD
HAVE IMAGINED. BUT THE SCHOOL 
DIDN'T JUST MISS THESE RED 
FLAGS, THEY KNOWINGLY AND IGNORE
THEM. FAR LEFT DEMOCRATS IN THE 
SCHOOL DISTRICT MADE THE 
SHOOTING POSSIBLE, BECAUSE THEY 
IMPLEMENTED SOMETHING THEY CALL 
RESTORATIVE JUSTICE. THIS POLICY
WHICH REALLY JUST BLAMES 
TEACHERS FOR 
STUDENTS FAILURES PUTS KIDS AND 
TEACHERS AT RISK. AND IT MAKES 
SHOOTINGS MORE LIKELY. BUT IT 
WAS BILLED AS A PIONEERING 
APPROACH TO DISCIPLINE AND 
SAFETY. I WAS JUST FINE WITH THE
OLD APPROACH TO DISCIPLINE AND 
SAFETY IT WAS CALLED DISCIPLINE 
AND SAFETY. BUT THE OBAMA BIDEN 
ADMINISTRATION TOOK PARKLAND'S 
BY THE POLICY AND FORCED THEM 
INTO SCHOOLS 
ACROSS AMERICA. WHEN PRESIDENT 
TRUMP RESCINDED OBAMA'S GUIDANCE
ON RESTORATIVE JUSTICE POLICIES 
HE PUT AN END TO THAT. AND THAT 
MEANT THE WORLD TO ME. IT IS 
HARD TO TELL HOW MUCH MR. BIDEN 
UNDERSTANDS OF WHAT HAPPENED IN 
PARKLAND ESTHER BIDEN HAS 
CAMPAIGNED ON BRINGING BACK 
RESTORATIVE JUSTICE. AS PART OF 
THE UNITY PLATFORM, WITH BERNIE 
SANDERS, AND THE IMPLEMENT IN 
THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS 
ACROSS AMERICA. THAT HE DOESN'T 
EVEN SEEM TO KNOW WHEN THE 
SHOOTING HAPPENED. HE SAID THAT 
HE WAS VICE PRESIDENT WHEN IT 
HAPPENED BUT 
HE WASN'T. MR. BIDEN MAY NOT 
KNOW WHEN MY DAUGHTER WAS 
MURDERED, BUT I DO. FEBRUARY 
14th, 2018. MR. BIDEN MAY NOT 
KNOW THAT THESE POLICIES MAKE 
SHOOTINGS MORE LIKELY, BUT 
I DO.
MR. BIDEN MAY NOT KNOW, WHO WAS 
VICE PRESIDENT THAT DAY, BUT I 
DO. IT WASN'T JOE BIDEN, IT WAS 
MIKE PENCE. THANK GOD. AND I 
KNOW WHO THE PRESIDENT WAS TO, 
IT WASN'T BARACK OBAMA, IT WAS 
PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP AND HE 
TOOK ACTION. I TRULY BELIEVE THE
SAFETY OF KIDS DEPENDS ON 
WHETHER THIS MAN IS REELECTED, I
HOPE YOU WILL JOIN ME IN HELPING
TO MAKE THAT 
HAPPEN. 
>>> MR. PRESIDENT, MYSELF AND 
MILLIONS OF AMERICANS APPRECIATE
YOU AND LOVE YOU, GOD BLESS 
AMERICA, AND GOD BLESS OUR 
PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP. THANK 
YOU. 
>>> BACK TO THE CITY OF ST. 
LOUIS, PROTEST IN ST. LOUIS 
TURNED 
VIOLENT. 
>>
MARK McCLOSKEY SAID HE AND HIS 
FAMILY HAVE BEEN THREATENED 
WITH VIOLENCE UNDER MISSOURI LAW
YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO DEFEND YOUR 
HOME AND THE RIGHTS OF YOUR 
FAMILY. A SEARCH WARRANT HAS 
BEEN EXECUTED AT THE 
HOME OF MARK AND PATRICIA 
McCLOSKEY. 
>> THEY WERE TRYING TO PROTECT 
THEIR HOME. 
>> GOOD EVENING AMERICA, WE ARE 
MARK AND PATRICIA 
McCLOSKEY.  WE'RE SPEAKING WITH 
YOU TONIGHT FROM ST. LOUIS 
MISSOURI, WHERE WEEKS AGO YOU 
MAY HAVE SEEN US, DEFENDING OUR 
HOME AS A MOB OF 
PROTESTERS DEFENDED
OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. 
>> AMERICA IS SUCH A GREAT 
COUNTRY NOT ONLY DO YOU HAVE THE
RIGHT TO OWN A GUN AND USE IT TO
DEFEND YOURSELF, BUT TO 
THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS WILL 
OFFER YOU FREE ADVICE ON HOW TO 
USE IT. AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT WE
EXPERIENCED. WHAT YOU SAW HAPPEN
TO US, COULD JUST AS EASILY 
HAPPEN TO ANY OF YOU WHO ARE 
WATCHING FROM QUIET 
NEIGHBORHOODS AROUND OUR 
COUNTRY. AND THAT IS WHAT WE 
WANT TO SPEAK TO YOU ABOUT 
TONIGHT. THAT IS EXACTLY RIGHT. 
WHETHER IT IS THE DEFUNDING OF 
POLICE, ENDING CASH BALES OR 
CRIMINALS BEING RELEASED BACK 
OUT INTO THE STREETS THE SAME 
DAY, TO WRITE IT AGAIN, OR 
ENCOURAGING OUR ANARCHY AND 
CHAOS ON THE STREETS. IT SEEMS 
AS IF THE DEMOCRATS NO LONGER 
VIEW THE GOVERNMENT'S JOB AS 
PROTECTING HONORS CITIZENS FROM 
CRIMINALS BUT RATHER PROTECTING 
CRIMINALS FROM HONEST CITIZENS. 
NOT A SINGLE PERSON IN THE 
OUT-OF-CONTROL MOB YOU SAW AT 
OUR HOUSE WAS CHARGED WITH A 
CRIME. BUT DO YOU KNOW WHO WAS? 
WE WERE. THEY HAVE ACTUALLY 
CHARGED US WITH FELONIES FOR 
DARING TO DEFEND OUR HOME. ON 
TOP OF THAT, 
CONSIDER THIS
A MARXIST LIBERAL ACTIVIST 
LEADING THE MOB TO OUR 
NEIGHBORHOOD STOOD OUTSIDE OUR 
HOME WITH A BULLHORN SCREAMING 
YOU CAN'T STOP THE REVOLUTION. 
JUST WEEKS LATER THAT SAME 
MARXIST ASKED OF US WON THE 
DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION TO HOLD A 
SEAT IN THE U.S. HOUSE OF 
REPRESENTATIVES. IN THE CITY OF 
ST. LOUIS, THAT IS THE SAME AS 
WINNING THE GENERAL ELECTION, 
THE MARXIST REVOLUTIONARY IS NOW
GOING TO BE THE CONGRESSWOMAN 
FROM THE FIRST DISTRICT 
OF MISSOURI.
THESE RADICALS ARE NOT CONTENT 
WITH MARCHING THE STREETS, THEY 
WANT TO WALK THE HALLS OF 
CONGRESS THEY WANT TO TAKE OVER,
THEY WANT POWER, THIS IS JOE 
BIDEN'S PARTY, THESE ARE THE 
PEOPLE WHO WILL BE IN CHARGE OF 
YOUR FUTURE AND THE FUTURE OF 
YOUR 
CHILDREN. 
>> THEY ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH 
SPREADING THE CHAOS AND VIOLENCE
INTO OUR COMMUNITIES, THEY WANT 
TO ABOLISH THE SUBURBS 
ALTOGETHER. BY ENDING 
SINGLE-FAMILY HOME ZONING. THIS 
FOREST REZONING WOULD BRING 
LOW-QUALITY APARTMENTS IN NOW 
THRIVING SUBURBAN NEIGHBORHOODS,
PRESIDENT TRUMP SMARTLY ENDED 
THIS GOVERNMENT OVERREACH. BUT 
JOE BIDEN WANTS TO BRING 
IT BACK. THESE ARE THE POLICIES 
THAT ARE COMING TO A 
NEIGHBORHOOD NEAR YOU. SO MAKE 
NO MISTAKE, NO MATTER WHERE YOU 
LIVE, YOUR FAMILY WILL NOT BE 
SAFE IN THE RADICAL 
DEMOCRATS AMERICA. 
>> AT THIS MOMENT IN HISTORY IF 
YOU STAND UP FOR YOURSELF, AND 
FOR THE VALUES OUR COUNTRY WAS 
FOUNDED ON THE MOB SPURRED ON BY
THEIR ALLIES IN THE MEDIA WILL 
TRY TO 
DESTROY YOU. YOU HAVE SEEN US ON
YOUR TV SCREENS, YOU KNOW THAT 
WE ARE NOT THE KIND OF PEOPLE 
WHO BACK DOWN, THANKFULLY 
NEITHER IS 
DONALD TRUMP. PRESIDENT TRUMP, 
WILL DEFEND THE GOD-GIVEN RIGHTS
OF EVERY AMERICAN'S TO PROTECT 
THEIR HOMES, AND THEIR FAMILIES.
BUT MORE 
THAN THAT TRUMPS A VISION FOR 
AMERICA IS A COUNTRY WHERE YOU 
HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY, TO 
WORK HARD, AND BUILD A LIFE YOU 
WOULD DREAM OF, WITH THE JOB 
THAT YOU LOVE, WITH YOUR 
CHILDREN BEING EDUCATED IN GRADE
SCHOOLS, AND IN A COMMUNITY 
WHERE YOUR FAMILY CAN PLAY IN 
THE BACKYARD WITHOUT FEAR, 
WORSHIP IN A CHURCH WITHOUT 
SHAME, AND EXPRESS YOUR BELIEFS,
WITHOUT RETRIBUTION. TRUMP 
BROUGHT US THE GREATEST ECONOMY 
OUR COUNTRY HAD EVER SEEN. THE 
DEMOCRATS HAD BROUGHT US NOTHING
BUT DESTRUCTION. 
>> WHEN WE DON'T HAVE BASIC 
SAFETY AND SECURITY IN OUR 
COMMUNITIES WE WILL NEVER BE 
FREE, TO BUILD A BRIGHTER FUTURE
FOR OURSELVES, OUR CHILDREN AND 
FOR OUR COUNTRY. THAT 
IS A STAKE IN THIS ELECTION AND 
THAT IS WHY WE MUST REELECT 
DONALD TRUMP. GOD BLESS YOU, GOD
BLESS THE PRESIDENT. AND GOD 
BLESS THE UNITED 
STATES. 
>> GOOD EVENING AMERICA 
I AM KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE, I SPEAK
TONIGHT AS A MOTHER, A FORMER 
PROSECUTOR IS A LaTINA AND A 
PROUD AMERICAN  ARID AND YES, A 
PROUD SUPPORTER OF PRESIDENT 
DONALD J TRUMP. 
WHY, BECAUSE HE IS THE PRESIDENT
WHO DELIVERS FOR AMERICA. HE 
BUILT THE GREATEST ECONOMY THE 
WORLD HAS 
EVER KNOWN. FOR THE STRIVERS, 
THE WORKING-CLASS, AND 
MIDDLE-CLASS. AS COMMANDER IN 
CHIEF, HE ALWAYS PUTS 
AMERICA FIRST. PRESIDENT TRUMP 
IS THE LAW AND ORDER PRESIDENT. 
NOW, PRESIDENTIAL LEADERSHIP IS 
NOT GUARANTEED, IT IS A CHOICE. 
BIDEN, HARRIS, AND THE REST OF 
THE SOCIALIST WILL FUNDAMENTALLY
CHANGE THIS NATION. THEY WANT 
OPEN BORDERS, CLOSE TO 
SCHOOLS, DANGEROUS AMNESTY, AND 
WILL SELFISHLY SEND YOUR JOBS 
BACK TO CHINA WHILE THEY GET 
RICH. THEY WILL DEFUND, THIS 
MANTLE AND DESTROY AMERICA'S LAW
ENFORCEMENT. WHEN YOU ARE IN 
TROUBLE, AND NEED POLICE, DON'T 
COUNT ON THE DEMOCRATS. AS A 
FIRST 
GENERATION AMERICAN, I KNOW HOW 
DANGEROUS THEIR SOCIALIST AGENDA
IS. MY MOTHER WAS A SPECIAL 
EDUCATION TEACHER FROM PUERTO 
RICO. MY FATHER ALSO AN 
IMMIGRANT CAME TO 
THIS NATION IN PURSUIT OF THE 
AMERICAN DREAM, NOW, I CONSIDER 
IT MY DUTY TO FIGHT TO PROTECT 
THAT DREAM. RIOTERS MUST NOT BE 
ALLOWED TO DESTROY OUR CITIES, 
HUMAN SEX, DRUG TRAFFICKERS 
SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO CROSS 
OUR BORDERS. THE SAME SOCIALIST 
POLICIES WITH WHICH DESTROYING 
PLACES LIKE CUBA, AND VENEZUELA 
MUST NOT TAKE ROOT IN OUR 
CITIES, AND 
OUR SCHOOLS. IF YOU WANT TO SEE 
THE SOCIALIST BIDEN HARRIS 
FUTURE FOR OUR COUNTRY, JUST 
TAKE A LOOK AT CALIFORNIA. IT IS
A PLACE OF IMMENSE 
WEALTH, IMMEASURABLE 
ENVIRONMENTS AND THE DEMOCRATS 
TURNED INTO A 
LAND OF DISCARDED HEROIN NEEDLES
AND PARKS, RIGHTS AND STREETS 
AND BLACKOUTS AND HOMES. IN 
PRESIDENT 
TRUMP'S AMERICA, WE LIGHTEN 
THINGS UP, WE DON'T DIM THEM 
DOWN. WE BUILD THINGS UP, WE 
DON'T BURN THEM DOWN. WE KNEEL 
IN PRAYER, AND WE STAND FOR OUR 
FLAG. THIS 
ELECTION IS A BATTLE FOR THE 
SOUL OF AMERICA. YOUR CHOICE IS 
CLEAR. DO YOU SUPPORT THE CANCEL
CULTURE, THE COSMETOLOGY 
AND OLD
WHO BLAME AMERICA FIRST, DO YOU 
THINK AMERICA IS TO BLAME, OR DO
YOU BELIEVE IN AMERICAN 
GREATNESS, BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, 
IN PRESIDENT TRUMP, AND 
INDIVIDUAL AND PERSONAL 
RESPONSIBILITY. THEY WANT 
TO DESTROY THIS COUNTRY AND 
EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE FOUGHT 
FOR, AND HOLD DEAR. THEY WANT TO
STEAL YOUR LIBERTY, 
YOUR FREEDOM, THEY WANT TO 
CONTROL WHAT YOU SEE AND THINK, 
AND BELIEVE THAT THEY CAN 
CONTROL HOW YOU LIVE. THEY WANT 
TO ENSLAVE YOU TO 
THE WEEK, DEPENDENT, LIBERAL 
VICTIM IDEOLOGY TO THE POINT 
THAT YOU WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THIS
COUNTRY OR YOURSELF. FROM 
THE BEGINNING, WHEN PRESIDENT 
TRUMP SPOKE ABOUT MAKING AMERICA
GREAT AGAIN, HE WAS SPEAKING 
ABOUT THE SHINY CITY ON A HILL. 
AND THE STORY A BEACON OF LIGHT 
THAT ONCE SHINED 
SO BRIGHT. HIS PROMISE WAS TO 
PUT AMERICA FIRST, AND HE HAS. 
WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP CAUGHT 
MIDDLE TAX PUTTING THOUSANDS OF 
DOLLARS BACK IN THE POCKETS OF 
WORKING-CLASS AMERICANS THE 
BEACON AGAIN TO FLICKER ONCE 
AGAIN. WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP 
COMMANDED THE DEFEAT OF ISIS 
TOOK THAT SOUL OF MONEY, AND 
PAVED THE WAY FOR PEACE IN THE 
MIDDLE EAST, THAT BEACON STARTED
TO GLOW, WHEN HE NEGOTIATED 
TRADE DEALS 
WITH MEXICO, JAPAN, AND CHINA 
BRINGING BACK THOUSANDS OF 
MANUFACTURING JOBS TO 
AMERICA THAT WEEKEND SIGNED, 
ONCE AGAIN FOR THE WORLD TO SEE.
>> AMERICA, IT IS ALL ON THE 
LINE, PRESIDENT TRUMP BELIEVES 
IN YOU, HE EMANCIPATED AND LIFTS
YOU UP TO LIVE YOUR 
AMERICAN DREAM. YOU ARE CAPABLE,
YOU ARE QUALIFIED, YOU ARE 
POWERFUL AND YOU HAVE THE 
ABILITY, TO CHOOSE YOUR LIFE, 
AND DETERMINE 
YOUR DESTINY. DON'T LET THE 
DEMOCRATS TAKE YOU FOR GRANTED, 
DON'T LET THEM STEP ON YOU, 
DON'T LET THEM DESTROY YOUR 
FAMILIES, YOUR LIVES AND YOUR 
FUTURE. DON'T LET THEM KILL 
FUTURE GENERATIONS BECAUSE THEY 
TOLD YOU AND BRAINWASHED YOU AND
FED YOU LIES THAT YOU WEREN'T 
GOOD ENOUGH. LIKE MY PARENTS, 
YOU CAN ACHIEVE YOUR AMERICAN 
DREAM, YOU CAN BE THAT SHINING 
EXAMPLE TO THE WORLD, MANIFEST 
AND BE THE CHANGE IN THIS 
COUNTRY THAT YOU DREAM. THAT YOU
HOPE, THAT YOU 
BELIEVE IN, STAND FOR AN 
AMERICAN PRESIDENT WHO IS 
FEARLESS, WHO BELIEVES IN YOU, 
AND WHO LOVES THIS COUNTRY AND 
WILL FIGHT 
FOR HER. PRESIDENT TRUMP IS THE 
LEADER WHO WILL REBUILD THE 
PROMISE OF AMERICA. AND ENSURE 
THAT EVERY CITIZEN CAN REALIZE 
THEIR AMERICAN DREAM. LADIES 
AND GENTLEMEN, LEADERS AND 
FIGHTERS FOR FREEDOM AND LIBERTY
AND THE AMERICAN DREAM, THE BEST
IS YET 
TO COME.
I'M CONGRESSMAN 
STEVE SCALISE.
I HAVE WORKED CLOSELY WITH 
DONALD TRUMP OVER THE PAST FEW 
YEARS IF THERE IS ONE CONSTANT 
THEME TO HOW WE APPROACH THE 
PROBLEMS IT IS HOW MUCH HE CARES
ABOUT THE HARD-WORKING PEOPLE 
THAT WASHINGTON LEFT BEHIND. I 
HAVE SEEN THIS FIRSTHAND, AFTER 
I WAS SHOT ON A BASEBALL FIELD 
BY LEFTIST GUNMEN FIRST 
RESPONDERS RUSHED INTO A 
HOSPITAL WHERE I BATTLED FOR MY 
LIFE. THAT SAME NIGHT, DONALD 
TRUMP CAME TO 
THE HOSPITAL AS WELL AS FIRST 
LADY MELANIA TRUMP, THEY 
CONSOLED MY WIFE JENNIFER THEY 
WERE THERE FOR MY FAMILY IN MY 
DARKEST HOURS. DONALD TRUMP 
WOULD CALL TO CHECK ON ME 
THROUGHOUT THE FOLLOWING WEEKS, 
JUST TO SEE HOW I WAS DOING. 
THAT IS THE KIND OF PERSON HE 
IS. THAT IS THE SIDE OF DONALD 
TRUMP THAT THE MEDIA WILL NEVER 
SHOW 
YOU. LOOK, THERE IS A LOT AT 
STAKE, THIS IS AN ELECTION 
BETWEEN THE PARTY THAT WANTS TO 
BURN DOWN THE FOUNDATIONS OF OUR
COUNTRY TO THE GROUND, AND A 
PARTY THAT WANTS TO REBUILD AND 
PROTECT OUR GREAT NATION. THE 
LEFT WANTS TO DEFUND 
THE POLICE. THIS IS PERSONAL TO 
ME. I WOULDN'T BE HERE WITHOUT 
THE BRAVERY AND HEROISM OF MEN 
AND WOMEN IN LAW ENFORCEMENT TO 
SAVE MY LIFE. PRESIDENT TRUMP 
STANDS WITH THOSE BRAVE MEN AND 
WOMEN, JOE BIDEN HAS EMBRACED 
THE LEFT IN SAME MISSION TO 
DEFUND THEM. THERE WON'T BE AN 
AMERICA TO LEAVE TO OUR CHILDREN
AND GRANDCHILDREN WITHOUT THOSE 
BRAVE LAW-ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS 
AND 
FIRST RESPONDERS. JOE BIDEN'S 
MADE A CAREER IN WASHINGTON FOR 
47 YEARS PROMISING THINGS HE HAS
NEVER DELIVERED. AND IN JUST 
THREE SHORT YEARS PRESIDENT 
TRUMP HAS DELIVERED HUGE WINS 
FOR AMERICAN FAMILIES. WHILE JOE
BIDEN MADE PROMISES WHEN HE 
SHARED THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE 
DONALD TRUMP TOOK ACTION, AND 
DELIVERED CRIMINAL JUSTICE 
REFORM. JOE BIDEN CLAIMS TO CARE
ABOUT THE WORKING MAN, BUT 
MILLIONS OF GOOD MANUFACTURING 
JOBS WERE SHIPPED OVERSEAS 
DURING THE OBAMA BIDEN YEARS, TO
COUNTRIES LIKE CHINA, DONALD 
TRUMP BROUGHT THOSE JOBS BACK. I
HAVE SEEN HOW DEEPLY PRESIDENT 
TRUMP CARES ABOUT REBUILDING OUR
EVAPORATING MIDDLE CLASS. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP PLEDGED TO GIVE 
THE FORGOTTEN MEN AND WOMEN A 
REAL SHOT AT THE AMERICAN DREAM.
AND AGAIN, HE DELIVERED. THE 
LOWEST UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN OVER
50 YEARS,
WOMEN CREATING SMALL BUSINESSES 
AT RECORD PACE, WAGES RISING, 
THE FASTEST BY THE WAY FOR 
LOWEST INCOME LEVELS. WHAT CAN 
JOE BIDEN SAY TO THAT? WHAT HAS 
JOE BIDEN DONE IN HIS 47 YEARS 
IN WASHINGTON, THAT CAN COMPARE 
TO THAT? PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS 
DELIVERED FOR THE HARD-WORKING 
PEOPLE OF THIS GREAT NATION, IT 
IS GOING TO TAKE 
THAT TIME AND BOLD LEADERSHIP TO
GET US OUT OF THIS COVID-19 
CRISIS, AFTER PRESIDENT TRUMP 
SAVED LIVES, BY SHUTTING DOWN 
FLIGHTS, FROM CHINA AND EUROPE. 
HE IS NOW FOCUSING THE FULL 
WEIGHT OF THE GOVERNMENT ON A 
REVOLUTIONARY PLAN TO CURE THIS 
VIRUS BY CUTTING RED TAPE, AND 
EMPOWERING SCIENTISTS TO CREATE 
A VACCINE. THIS IS A VISIONARY 
LEADERSHIP IN ACTION. AT A TIME 
WHEN WE CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER 47 
YEARS OF 
HOLLOWED PROMISES. AMERICA HAS 
BEEN THROUGH TOUGH TIMES BEFORE.
WHO BETTER TO LEAD US OUT OF 
THESE TIMES THAN THE PRESIDENT 
TO ALREADY BUILT THE STRONGEST 
ECONOMY OUR COUNTRY HAS EVER 
SEEN. DONALD TRUMP DID IT 
BEFORE, DONALD TRUMP WILL 
DELIVER FOR US AGAIN. GOD BLESS 
YOU, AND GOD BLESS THESE UNITED 
STATES OF 
AMERICA. 
>>>
I AM SEAN PARNELL, IT IS AN 
HONOR TO BE HERE. IN 2006 THE 
ARMY SENT ME TO AFGHANISTAN AS A
YOUNG PLATOON LEADER PLACED IN 
COMMAND OF AMERICANS FROM EVERY 
CORNER OF OUR PLANET.  OUR 
PLATOON REFLECTED THE DIVERSITY 
OF OUR NATION. EVERY RACE CREATE
AND RELIGION. DESPITE 
THOSE DIFFERENCES
WE WERE BOUND TOGETHER AS 
BROTHERS FROM THE SAME AMERICAN 
FAMILY. ON JUNE 10th, 2006 OUR 
PLATOON WAS ATTACKED JUST AFTER 
DAWN. OUTNUMBERED 10 TO 1, WE 
ENDURED MORTAR AND MACHINE GUN 
FIRE AS TALIBAN AND CHARGED US 
FROM THREE SIDES. WE HAD 24 MEN 
THAT DAY, WAVE AFTER WAVE OF 
TALIBAN AND ADVANCE UP THE HILL,
I WAS WOUNDED THREE TIMES IN THE
FIGHTING NEARLY ALL OF MY 
PLATOON WAS WOUNDED IN THE FIRST
MINUTES, BUT THE ENEMY KEPT 
COMING. WE FOUGHT TO OUR LAST 
ROUND OF AMMUNITION AND WHEN IT 
WAS OVER, WE HELD THE HILL. IN 
THE FACE 
OF DEATH, I SAW ORDINARY 
AMERICANS BECOME HEROES, IN THE 
DARKEST HOURS WHEN OUR SURVIVAL 
DEPENDED ON EACH OTHER, MY MEN 
AND I LEARNED AN IMPORTANT 
LESSON. WE 
ALL BELIEVED
DIFFERENTLY, BUT OUR DIFFERENCES
DIDN'T DEFINE US, AFTER 485 DAYS
OF COMBAT I CAME HOME, EAGER TO 
ENJOY THE FREEDOMS I RISKED MY 
LIFE TO DEFEND. BUT I WATCHED 
WITH ALARM AS THE PARTING OF MY 
GRANDFATHER IN LIFELONG UNION 
DEMOCRAT, TURNED AGAINST THE 
VERY PEOPLE IT PROFESSED TO 
REPRESENT. I WATCHED AS JOE 
BIDEN 
SPIT VENOM, WHO DARED TO 
DISMANTLE THE SECOND AMENDMENT 
AND TAKE YOUR GUNS. FOR 
DEMOCRATS, ONE 
STOOD FOR LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS 
WHO DISPLAYED OUR FLAG WITH 
PRIDE, THIS
NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY, CONSIDERS 
THESE PEOPLE UNEDUCATED RACISTS,
CLINGING TO GUNS AND BIBLES, THE
PARTY OF HARRY TRUMAN BECAME THE
PARTY OF HEDGE FUND MANAGERS, 
HOLLYWOOD CELEBRITIES, TEXT 
MOGULS AND UNIVERSITY 
PROFESSORS, ALL BLOATED WITH 
CONTEMPT FROM AN AMERICA. I LOOK
ACROSS THE AISLE, AND I DO NOT 
SEE A PARTY THAT WANTS YOU TO 
PURSUE YOUR DREAMS, I SEE A 
DEMOCRATIC PARTY THAT WANTS TO 
DICTATE WHAT THOSE DREAMS ARE. I
DON'T SEE A PARTY THAT WANTS YOU
TO BE FREE, I SEE A PARTY THAT 
WANTS TO CHAIN YOU TO CONFORMITY
AND WILL DESTROY ANYONE THEY 
DEEM HERITAGE. I DEEMED AN OATH,
TO DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION 
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS SWORN TO DO 
THE SAME. THAT IS WHY HE HAS 
ADVANCED FREEDOM, DESPITE SAVAGE
POLITICAL ATTACKS TO OVERCOME 
THE AGENDA OF THE 
RADICAL LEFT.
PRESIDENT TRUMP, HAS UNLEASHED 
THE ECONOMIC MIND OF THIS NATION
LIKE NO OTHER PRESIDENT IN OUR 
HISTORY. HE TRIGGERED THE RISING
TIDE OF WORKING FAMILIES, 
BROUGHT US ENERGY AND 
INDEPENDENCE RECLAIM JOBS FROM 
OVERSEAS THAT YOU KNOW, 
DEMOCRATS SAID WOULD NEVER 
RETURN. HE IS FIERCELY DEFENDED,
THE FIRST AND SECOND AMENDMENT, 
THAT IS JUST A START. 
>> WITH FOUR MORE YEARS, IMAGINE
WHAT WE CAN ACHIEVE, BY SIMPLY 
WORKING WITH 
OUR PRESIDENT.
I BELIEVE IN OUR PRESIDENT'S 
VISION FOR THE FUTURE. I STAND 
HERE TONIGHT, CALLING ON ALL 
AMERICANS TO JOIN US, IT DOESN'T
MATTER WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE, WHO 
YOU LOVE, HOW YOU WORSHIP, YOUR 
GENDER, OR YOUR JOB, IF YOU ARE 
A TRADITIONAL DEMOCRAT WHO HAS 
BECOME DISILLUSIONED WITH HOW 
RADICAL YOUR PARTY HAS BECOME, 
STAND WITH US YOU ARE MOST 
WELCOME. AMERICA NEEDS ALL OF 
HER PATRIOTS TO RUSH TO HER 
DEFENSE. MY FELLOW AMERICANS, I 
PROMISE YOU THIS, IN OUR TENT, 
YOU 
ARE FREE.
FREE TO SPEAK THE TRUTH, CHOOSE 
YOUR JOURNEY, DEFINE YOUR LIFE, 
YOU HAVE THE POWER TO GO AS FAR 
AS YOU AIM, AND AIM HIGHER AND 
KEEP GOING BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT 
AMERICANS DO. WE ARE IDEALISTS 
AND DREAMERS LOVERS OF 
ADVENTURE, RUGGED AND 
INDEPENDENT, WE DON'T MAKE 
EXCUSES, WE MAKE THE IMPOSSIBLE 
OF REALITY. INC. ABOUT IT, AND 
ASKED ENTRY, WE WENT FROM GROUND
BOUND DREAMERS GLAZING TO THE 
STARS TO DOERS, TO CREATING 
MEANS TO 
REACH THEM. THIS IS NOT THE TIME
TO STAND ON THE SIDELINES IF YOU
LOVE OUR COUNTRY AS WE DO, AS 
OUR PRESIDENT DOES, JOIN THE 
CHORUS OF PATRIOT VOICES THAT 
WILL PRESERVE THE EXCEPTIONAL 
UNION. MR. PRESIDENT, LEAD THE 
WAY. MILLIONS IN OUR AMERICAN 
FAMILIES BELIEVE, IN THE PATH TO
DESTINY. GUIDE US TO THAT 
HORIZON. THANK YOU, MAY GOD 
BLESS THE UNITED STATES 
OF AMERICA. 
>>> WE COME TOGETHER TO IMAGINE 
A FUTURE, DETERMINED BY THE 
SHINING LIGHT OF OUR HOPES AND 
VALUES 
AND FAITH. A COUNTRY, WHERE WE 
ARE JUDGED BY HER CHARACTER WITH
DIGNITY AND RESPECT 
FOR ALL. THE BELIEVE THAT ALL 
ARE CREATED EQUAL THAT 
LIVES MATTER IRRESPECTIVE OF 
RACE, CREED, OR COLOR. COMMITTED
TO EXCELLING BEYOND OUR DREAMS, 
FOUR 
YEARS AGO, WE FACED A HISTORIC 
CROSSROAD, CAREER POLITICIANS 
PROMISING CHANGE EVERY ELECTION.
BUT 
DELIVERING EMPTINESS. WE CHOSE A
DIFFERENT PATH, A MAN WHO IS NOT
A POLITICIAN A MAN WHO CARES, A 
MAN WHO WORKS TIRELESSLY, 
FOR YOU. STILL, POLITICIANS FUND
THEIR DECEPTIONS AND DESTRUCTIVE
PROMISE FANNING 
THE FLAMES. WE ALL KNOW IT IS 
EASY TO CRITICIZE AND TAKES A 
TRUE LEADER, TO SOLVE 
PROBLEMS, COVID-19 WHILE OTHERS 
CRITICIZE THE ABSOLUTION US TO, 
PRESIDENT TRUMP SWIFT ACTION 
SAVED LIVES. AND IS LEADING 
DEMOCRATS WANT TO KEEP 
BUSINESSES CLOSE DOWN, OUR 
PRESIDENT IS LEADING THE WAY FOR
A FULL ECONOMIC RECOVERY. WE ARE
AMERICA, WE AS AMERICANS WORK 
TOGETHER TO OVERCOME CHALLENGES,
TO WRITE OUR 
OWN, AMERICA. LAND OF PROMISE, 
LAND OF OPPORTUNITY, LAND OF 
HEROES, LAND 
OF GREATNESS. 
>>> I THOUGHT I HAD FORGOTTEN. I
NEARLY GAVE 
UP HOPE. I WAS 
SO AFRAID. I BELIEVED I WOULD 
DIE HERE.
>>> AMERICAN HOSTAGES, 
FORGOTTEN, AND WASTING AWAY IN 
FAR-OFF PRISONS. WRONGFULLY 
DETAINED BY FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS.
AMERICANS WERE BEATEN, ABUSED, 
STARVED, AND LEFT FOR DEAD. 
UNTIL PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP 
STEPPED IN. 
>> THE THREE AMERICAN HOSTAGES 
ARE FINALLY BACK ON U.S. SOIL 
AFTER BEING HELD CAPTIVE IN 
NORTH 
KOREA. 
>>>
AND AMERICAN JAILED IN EGYPT IS 
BACK IN THE U.S. THIS MORNING 
AFTER AN INTERVENTION BY THE 
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION. 
>> SKILLED NEGOTIATORS. MY 
PRESIDENT TRUMP SUCCESSFULLY WON
THE RELEASE OF DETAINEES AND 
PRISONERS AMONG THE MOST OF ANY 
PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 
WHILE FAMILIES WAITED IN DESPAIR
FOR NEWS OF THEIR LOVED ONES 
PRESIDENT TRUMP PROVIDED A NEW 
SPARK OF HOPE, BRINGING OUR 
HOSTAGES HOME. 
>> WE HAVE FAMILY 
BACK HOME, HE WAS IN YEMEN IN A 
VERY HORRIBLE SITUATION 
YESTERDAY THE UNITED STATES 
GOVERNMENT SECURE THE RELEASE OF
KAITLIN COLE. JOSHUA BOYLE, AND 
THEIR THREE CHILDREN, TODAY WE 
ARE BRINGING HOME ANOTHER 
AMERICAN 
CITIZEN. 
>> WE JUST FOUND OUT WAS THAT 
TURKEY RELEASED A PRISONER THAT 
WE WERE TRYING TO GET TO THE 
UNITED STATES. 
>> UNDER THIS ADMINISTRATION 
AMERICA HAS AND WILL NOT TURN 
ITS BACK ON OUR PEOPLE. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP, WILL BRING THEM
HOME. 
>>> DIPLOMACY, NEGOTIATION 
SKILLS, PERSEVERANCE, SAFETY, 
THE INGREDIENTS OF HOPE WHEN 
THERE IS NO HOPE, NO AMERICAN 
SHOULD EVER BE LEFT BEHIND, 
PRIORITY, FREEING 
AMERICAN HOSTAGES,
WE HAVE SIX INCREDIBLE PEOPLE 
WHO WERE HELD HOSTAGE BY VARIOUS
COUNTRIES. AND I AM VERY PLEASED
TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT WE 
BROUGHT BACK OVER 50 HOSTAGES 
FROM 22 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES WE 
WORKED VERY HARD 
ON IT AND AMBASSADOR O'BRIEN AND
OTHERS, I WILL TELL YOU WE ARE 
VERY PROUD OF THE JOB WE DID, 
BUT I WOULD LIKE TO ASK MAY BE, 
PASTOR BRONSON WOULD YOU SAY A 
FEW WORDS AND GIVE US A LITTLE 
HISTORY OF WHAT HAPPENED, AND 
HOW IS LIFE TREATING YOU? 
>> I WAS IN TURKEY FOR 
TWO YEARS,
AND YOU TOOK UNPRECEDENTED STEPS
TO SECURE MY RELEASE AND YOUR 
ADMINISTRATION REALLY FOUGHT FOR
ME, AND I THINK IF YOU HADN'T 
DONE THAT I MAY STILL BE IN 
TURKEY. 
>> I AM VERY GRATEFUL. 
>> THEY HAD YOU THERE FOR 28 
YEARS? 
>> THEY HAD YOU SCHEDULED FOR A 
LONG TIME WE HAD TO GET YOU BACK
I HAD TO SAY, TO ME PRESIDENT 
ERTL ONE WAS VERY GOOD, AND I 
KNOW THEY HAD YOU SCHEDULED FOR 
A LONG TIME, AND IT WAS 
PRESIDENT. 
I KNOW
AFTER WE HAD A FEW CONVERSATIONS
HE AGREED, SO WE APPRECIATE 
THAT. AND WE APPRECIATE THE 
PEOPLE OF TURKEY AND YOU STILL 
APPRECIATE THE PEOPLE OF TURKEY 
I UNDERSTAND. 
>> WE LOVE THE TURKISH PEOPLE. 
>> IT IS GREAT TO HAVE YOU BACK 
ANDREW, THANK YOU. 
>> MR. PRESIDENT, THANK YOU FOR 
HAVING ME MY NAME IS TIM 
GOODWIN, I WAS HELD IN SYRIA FOR
63 DAYS. I SPEAK FOR MY FELLOW 
FORMER HOSTAGES AND DETAINEES 
WHEN I SAY I'M GRATEFUL AS I 
HAVE EVER BEEN FOR ANYTHING TO 
BE 
HOME SAFELY AND THANK YOU FOR 
THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE, 
PARTICULARLY PASTOR O'BRIEN WAS 
INCREDIBLY SUPPORTIVE AND 
HELPFUL TO MY FAMILY AND I CAN'T
SAY ENOUGH NICE THINGS ABOUT HIM
THANK YOU FOR PROMOTING HIM AND 
REALLY I'M JUST HAPPY TO BE 
HERE, SO THANK YOU. 
>>> WE'VE GOT YOU BACK. WE GOT 
YOU ALL BACK. WE HAVE SOME MORE 
WE ARE WORKING ON RIGHT NOW TO 
GET BACK THAT WE BETTER DO, 
PLEASE GO AHEAD. 
>> MY NAME IS MIKE IT IS AN 
HONOR TO BE HERE, HONOR TO MEET 
YOU IN PERSON BASICALLY WHAT IT 
HAPPENED 
WITH ME, AS I TRAVELED OVER TO 
THE COUNTRY OF IRAN AND IT 
TURNED OUT IT WAS A MAJOR TRAP, 
AND I WAS APPREHENDED THERE. I 
WENT THROUGH A LOT IN THEIR 
INJUSTICE SYSTEM, RON IS IN AN 
EXTORTIONIST REGIME, BUT WHAT 
YOU DID, IS YOU WERE ABLE TO GET
ME OUT OF THE PRISON IN RECORD 
TIME, IT WAS AMAZING. 
>> THINK YOU VERY MUCH. 
>> THANK YOU. 
>> PLEASE. 
>> MY NAME IS 
JOSH HOLTMAN, TAMMY AND MY WIFE 
WERE HELD HOSTAGE IN VENEZUELA 
FOR TWO YEARS. NOW, YOU HELPED 
US 
GET OUT, SENATOR HATCH WORK WITH
YOU ON THAT AS WELL. AND IT WAS 
A GREAT HONOR, TO BE ABLE TO 
MEET YOU RIGHT WHEN WE GOT BACK,
I REMEMBER A LOT OF PEOPLE ASKED
WHAT WAS IT LIKE MEETING 
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND IT WAS LIKE 
I WAS BLOWN AWAY MEETING FOR TWO
YEARS AND 
I'M MEETING, SO IT'S NICE TO 
MEET YOU AGAIN, BUT IT HAS BEEN 
A GREAT FEEDBACK, HELPING PEOPLE
THROUGH SITUATIONS THAT THEY 
HAVE GONE THROUGH, TO START A 
FAMILY. 
>> THE GREAT PEOPLE OF UTAH 
REALLY WANTED ME TO DO SOMETHING
ABOUT THE TWO OF YOU, AND WE 
WERE ABLE TO 
DO IT, AND A LITTLE BIT OF 
AMERICA, FRANKLY. THAT WAS A 
VERY HOSTILE., AND WE APPRECIATE
EVERYBODY WORKING SO HARD WITH 
US, BUT WE WERE ABLE TO GET YOU 
BOTH BACK, ARE YOU LIVING IN 
UTAH NOW? 
>> I WILL STAY HELLO TO THE 
FOLKS IN UTAH, THEY ARE GREAT 
PEOPLE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, 
CONGRATULATIONS. PLEASE. 
>> IT IS AN 
UNEXPECTED TRIP TO INDIA I WAS 
NOT GOING TO INDIA I WAS GOING 
THROUGH INDIA TO NEPAL, WORKING 
FOR THE LAST 18 YEARS, BUT ON 
BEHALF OF MY FAMILY AND MYSELF, 
THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR 
GETTING US OUT, AND GETTING US 
HOME. THE DARKEST MOMENT OF OUR 
HOME TOGETHER, YOUR LETTER TO 
MY WIFE, AND IT REALLY GAVE HER 
THE HOPE AND THE PEACE FROM THAT
TIME FORWARD, 
IT HAS BEEN GETTING MORE PEOPLE 
INVOLVED LIKE THE INVESTOR IN 
INDIA, THINGS BECAME MORE 
PEACEFUL AND THE HOPE WAS THERE,
FOR THE LAST FOUR MONTHS. WE 
WOULD POSSIBLY 
GET TO COME HOME. THEY PLAN TO 
KEEP ME FOR 3 TO 5 YEARS. THAT 
WAS CLEARED AND THEN THEY CAME 
UP WITH NEW CHARGES TO DO A 
SEVEN YEAR THING, BUT THEY 
RESPONDED VERY WELL TO YOUR 
REQUEST. WE 
APPRECIATE THAT. 
>> WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU 
DID. THANK YOU ALL FOR DOING 
THINGS, WE WANT TO GET BACK, WE 
WILL GET BACK VERY SOON, THANK 
YOU VERY MUCH, WE APPRECIATE YOU
BEING HERE, 
GREAT STORIES.
>>> BY THE GRACE OF GOD I LIVE 
THE AMERICAN DREAM, THE GREATEST
BLESSING I EVER HAD. MY DAD, 
ONLY HAD A SIXTH GRADE EDUCATION
AND HE TOLD ME DON'T LOSE THIS 
PLACE, YOU WILL NEVER BE AS 
LUCKY AS ME. MY NAME IS MAXIMO 
ALVAREZ, I'M SPEAKING TO YOU 
TODAY BECAUSE  MY FAMILY IS DONE
ABANDONING WHAT WE RIGHTFULLY 
EARNED. THERE IS NO PLACE TO 
HIDE, SPEAKING TO YOU TODAY, 
BECAUSE PRESIDENT TRUMP MAY NOT 
ALWAYS BE POLITICALLY CORRECT, 
HE IN FACT IS A SUCCESSFUL 
BUSINESSMAN, HIS AVERAGE 
CAREER POLITICIAN, OUR PRESIDENT
IS JUST ANOTHER FAMILY MAN, A 
FRIEND, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, 
OUR ELECTED COMMANDER IN CHIEF, 
WHO PUTS AMERICA FIRST. KEEP 
IN MIND, THE ONE RUNNING FOR 
PRESIDENT IS OVERLY CONCERNED 
ABOUT POWER. YES, POWER FOR 
THEM. BUT NOT FOR THE BENEFIT OF
ALL AMERICANS. AND SPEAKING TO 
YOU TODAY, BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN 
PEOPLE LIKE 
THIS BEFORE. I HAVE SEEN 
MOVEMENTS LIKE THIS BEFORE. I 
HAVE SEEN IDEAS LIKE THIS 
BEFORE. AND I AM HERE TO TELL 
YOU DO NOT LET THEM TAKE OVER 
OUR COUNTRY. I HEARD THE 
PROMISES OF FIDEL CASTRO, AND I 
CAN NEVER FORGET ALL THOSE WHO 
GREW UP AROUND ME, WHO LOOKS 
LIKE ME, WHO SUFFERED, AND 
STARVED, AND DIED, BECAUSE THEY 
BELIEVE THE PROMISES. THEY 
SWALLOW THE 
COMMUNIST PILL. IF YOU HAVE A 
CHANCE, GO TO THE FREEDOM TOWER 
IN MIAMI. STOP AND LISTEN, YOU 
CAN STILL HEAR THE SOUNDS OF 
THOSE 
BROKEN PROMISES, IT IS THE SOUND
OF WAVES IN THE OCEAN, CARRYING 
FAMILIES PLEADING TO PIECES OF 
WOOD. FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN WHO
CAN'T SWIM, BUT WILLING TO RISK 
EVERYTHING, TO REACH THIS 
BLESSED LAND. IT IS THE SOUND OF
TEARS HITTING THE PAPER OF AN 
APPLICATION TO BECOME AN 
AMERICAN CITIZEN. MOST DON'T 
LIKE THE PROMISES BUT SOON AFTER
THEY EXPERIENCE THE REALITY. 
LOOK AT THEM, LISTEN TO THEM, 
LEARN 
THE TRUTH. THOSE FALSE PROMISES,
SPREAD THE WEALTH, FREE 
EDUCATION, FREE HEALTH CARE, 
DEFUND 
THE POLICE, HAVE THE SOCIAL 
STATE MORE THAN THE FAMILY, AND 
THE COMMUNITY. THEY'RE GOING TO 
SOUND RADICAL TO MY EARS. THEY 
SOUND FAMILIAR. FIDEL CASTRO WAS
ASKED IF HE WAS A COMMUNIST. HE 
SAID HE WAS A ROMAN CATHOLIC, HE
KNEW HE HAD TO HIDE 
THE TRUTH. THE COUNTRY HE WAS 
BORN AND IS GONE, TO 
BE DESTROYED. WHEN I WATCH THE 
NEWS IN SEATTLE, CHICAGO, AND 
OTHER CITIES, WHEN I SAW THE 
HISTORY BEING WRITTEN, WHEN I 
HEAR THE PROMISES, I 
HEAR ECHOES I NEVER WANTED TO 
HEAR AGAIN, I 
SEE SHADOWS, I HAVE THEM OUT 
AGAIN. MY PARENTS, ONLY WANTED 
ONE PERSON TO DECIDE MY FATE, 
ME. 
NOT SOME BODY MEMBER OR 
GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL, NOT 
SOME BUREAUCRAT. AS AN AMERICAN 
I WOULD DECIDE MY OWN FUTURE, I 
AM SO GRATEFUL 
TO AMERICA, THE PLACE WHERE I 
WAS ABLE TO BUILD MY AMERICAN 
DREAM, THROUGH HARD WORK, 
AND DETERMINATION. WE KNOW THAT 
THE AMERICAN STORY, WAS REDONE 
BY PEOPLE JUST LIKE YOU AND I, 
WHO LOVE OUR COUNTRY, AND THEY 
WISH TO BUILD A FUTURE FOR OUR 
FAMILIES AND NEIGHBORS. I 
MAY BE CUBAN BORN BUT I AM 100% 
AMERICAN. THIS IS THE GREATEST 
COUNTRY IN 
THE WORLD.
NOW, IT IS UP TO ME TO DECIDE 
OUR FATE. AND TO CHOOSE FREEDOM,
OVER OPPRESSION. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP, HE'S FIGHTING 
THE FORCES OF ANARCHY AND 
COMMUNISM. AND I KNOW HE WILL 
CONTINUE TO DO JUST THAT. AND 
WHAT ABOUT HIS APPOINTMENT, AND 
THE REST 
OF THE
BUSINESSES I HAVE NO DOUBT WE 
WILL HAND THE COUNTRY OVER TO 
THOSE DANGEROUS FORCES, YOU AND 
I WILL DECIDE. AND HERE IS WHAT 
I HAVE DECIDED, MY DECISION IS 
VERY EASY. I CHOOSE PRESIDENT 
TRUMP. BECAUSE I CHOOSE AMERICA.
I 
CHOOSE FREEDOM. I STILL HEAR 
MY DAD, THERE IS NO OTHER PLACE 
TO GO, THANK YOU, MAY THE GOOD 
LORD 
LESS AMERICA.
THE DEMOCRATS ARE GOING MORE AND
MORE LEFT. 
>> VERY POSITIVE ABOUT 
SOCIALISM, MANY OF THE IDEAS WE 
FOUGHT FOR THAT WERE CONSIDERED 
RADICAL ARE NOW MAINSTREAM. 
>> THE COMPROMISE THAT THEY CAME
UP WITH, IF IMPLEMENTED WILL 
MAKE JOE BIDEN THE MOST 
PROGRESSIVE PRESIDENT
EVER TO BE IN OFFICE. 
>> THE RADICAL LEFT HAS TAKEN 
OVER THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND 
JOE BIDEN IS MARCHING IN 
LOCKSTEP WITH THEM, BIDEN AND 
THE FAR LEFT ARE PROMISING TO 
CRUSH MIDDLE-CLASS FAMILIES WITH
TRILLIONS IN NEW TAXES. 
>> IF YOU'RE LIKE ME YOUR TAXES 
ARE GOING TO GO UP. 
>> PROMISING HEALTH CARE FOR 11 
MILLION IN 
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.
IN JOE BIDEN'S AMERICA, THE 
RADICAL LEFT GET WHATEVER 
THEY WANT AND YOU GET TO PAY FOR
IT, THEY HAVE ALREADY TAKEN OVER
JOE BIDEN AND THE DEMOCRATIC 
PARTY, DON'T LET THEM TAKE OVER 
AMERICA. 
>>>
GOOD EVENING, I'M NIKKI HALEY 
AND IT'S GREAT TO BE BACK AT THE
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION. 
I WILL START WITH A LITTLE 
STORY. IT IS ABOUT AN AMERICAN 
AMBASSADOR TO THE UNITED NATIONS
AND IT IS ABOUT A SPEECH SHE 
GAVE TO THIS CONVENTION. SHE 
CALLED FOR THE REELECTION OF THE
REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT SHE SERVED,
AND SHE CALLED OUT HIS 
DEMOCRATIC OPPONENT. A FORMER 
VICE PRESIDENT, FROM A FIELD 
ADMINISTRATION. THAT AMBASSADOR 
SAID AND I QUOTE, DEMOCRATS 
ALWAYS BLAME 
AMERICA FIRST. THE YEAR WAS 
1984. THE PRESIDENT WAS RONALD 
REGAN. AND AMBASSADOR JEAN 
KIRKPATRICK'S WORDS WERE JUST AS
TRUE TODAY. JOE BIDEN AND THE 
DEMOCRATS ARE STILL BLAMING 
AMERICA FIRST. DONALD TRUMP HAS 
ALWAYS PUT AMERICA FIRST. AND HE
HAS EARNED FOUR MORE YEARS, 
AS PRESIDENT.
IT WAS AN HONOR OF A LIFETIME, 
TO SERVE AS THE UNITED STATES 
AMBASSADOR TO THE UNITED 
NATIONS. NOW, THE U.N. IS NOT 
FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. IT IS A 
PLACE WHERE DICTATORS, 
MURDERERS, AND THIEVES DENOUNCE 
AMERICA. AND THEN PUT THEIR 
HANDS OUT, AND DEMAND THAT WE 
PAY THEIR BILLS. WELL PRESIDENT 
TRUMP PUT AN END TO ALL OF THAT.
WITH HIS LEADERSHIP WE DID WHAT 
BARACK OBAMA AND JOE BIDEN 
REFUSED TO DO. WE STOOD UP FOR 
AMERICA. AND WE STOOD AGAINST 
OUR ENEMY.
OBAMA AND BIDEN LET NORTH KOREA 
THREATEN AMERICA. PRESIDENT 
TRUMP REJECTED THAT WEAKNESS AND
WE PASSED THE TOUGHEST SANCTIONS
ON NORTH KOREA IN HISTORY. OBAMA
AND BIDEN LET IRAN GET AWAY WITH
MURDER AND LITERALLY 
SENT THEM A PLANE FULL OF CASH. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP DID THE RIGHT 
THING, AND RIPPED UP THE IRAN 
NUCLEAR DEAL. OBAMA AND BIDEN 
LET THE UNITED NATIONS TO 
DENOUNCE OUR FRIEND AND ALLY 
ISRAEL, 
PRESIDENT TRUMP MOVED OUR 
EMBASSY TO JERUSALEM AND WHEN 
THE U.N. TRIED TO CONDEMN US, I 
WAS PROUD TO CAST THE 
AMERICAN VETO. THIS PRESIDENT 
HAS A RECORD OF STRENGTH, AND 
SUCCESS. THE FORMER VICE 
PRESIDENT HAS A RECORD OF 
WEAKNESS 
AND FAILURE
. JOE BIDEN IS GOOD FOR A RUN 
AND ISIS, GREAT FOR COMMUNIST 
CHINA, AND HE IS A GOD SEND TO 
EVERYONE WHO WANTS AMERICA TO 
APOLOGIZE ABSTAIN, AND ABANDON 
OUR VALUES. DONALD TRUMP, TAKES 
A DIFFERENT APPROACH. HE IS 
TOUGH ON CHINA, AND HE TOOK ON 
ISIS. AND HE WON, AND HE TELLS 
THE WORLD, WHAT IT NEEDS 
TO HEAR.
AT HOME, THE PRESIDENT IS THE 
CLEAR CHOICE ON JOBS AND THE 
ECONOMY. HE HAS MOVED AMERICA 
FORWARD WHILE JOE BIDEN HAS HELD
AMERICA BACK. WHEN JOE WAS VP, I
WAS GOVERNOR OF THE GREAT STATE 
OF SOUTH CAROLINA. WE HAD A 
PRETTY GOOD RUN, MANUFACTURERS 
OF ALL KINDS, SWAPPED TO OUR 
STATE FROM OVERSEAS, CREATING 
TENS OF THOUSANDS OF AMERICAN 
JOBS. PEOPLE WERE REFERRING TO 
SOUTH CAROLINA AS THE BEAST OF 
THE SOUTHEAST WHICH I LOVED. 
EVERYTHING WE DID HAPPENED IN 
SPITE OF JOE BIDEN AND HIS OLD 
BOSS. WE 
CUT TAXES, THEY RAISED THEM, WE 
SLASHED REDTAPE, THEY PILED ON 
MORE MANDATES, AND WHEN WE 
BROUGHT IN GOOD PAYING JOBS, 
BIDEN AND OBAMA SUED US I FOUGHT
BACK, AND THEY GAVE UP. A BIDEN 
HARRIS ADMINISTRATION WOULD 
BE MUCH
, MUCH WORSE. LAST TIME, JOE'S 
BOSS WAS OBAMA. THIS TIME, IT 
WOULD BE PELOSI. SANDERS, AND 
THE SQUAD. THEIR VISION FOR 
AMERICA IS SOCIALISM AND WE KNOW
THAT SOCIALISM HAS 
FAILED EVERYWHERE.
THEY WANT TO TELL AMERICANS HOW 
TO LIVE, AND WHAT TO THINK. THEY
WANT A GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER OF 
HEALTH CARE, THEY WANT TO BAN A 
FRACKING AND KILLED MILLIONS OF 
JOBS. THEY WANT MASSIVE TAX 
HIKES ON WORKING FAMILIES. JOE 
BIDEN AND THE SOCIALIST LEFT 
WOULD BE A DISASTER FOR 
OUR ECONOMY. BUT PRESIDENT TRUMP
IS LEADING A NEW ERA OF 
OPPORTUNITY. BEFORE COMMUNIST 
CHINA GAVE US THE CORONAVIRUS WE
WERE BREAKING ECONOMIC RECORDS 
LEFT 
AND RIGHT, THE PANDEMIC HAD SET 
US BACK, BUT NOT FOR LONG. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP BROUGHT OUR 
ECONOMY BACK BEFORE, AND HE WILL
BRING IT 
BACK AGAIN.
THERE IS ONE MORE IMPORTANT AREA
WHERE OUR PRESIDENT IS RIGHT, HE
KNOWS THAT POLITICAL CORRECTNESS
AND CANCEL CULTURE ARE DANGEROUS
AND JUST PLAIN WRONG. IN MUCH OF
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS NOW 
FASHIONABLE TO SAY THAT AMERICA 
IS RACIST. THAT IS A LIE. 
AMERICA IS NOT A RACIST COUNTRY.
THIS IS PERSONAL 
FOR ME.
I AM THE PROUD DAUGHTER OF 
INDIAN IMMIGRANTS, THEY CAME TO 
AMERICA AND SETTLED IN A SMALL 
SOUTHERN TOWN. MY FATHER WORE A 
TURBAN, MY MOTHER WORE A SORRY. 
I WAS A BROWN GIRL, IN A BLACK 
AND WHITE WORLD. WE FACED 
DISCRIMINATION AND 
HARDSHIP, BUT
MY PARENTS NEVER GAVE INTO 
GRIEVANCE AND HATE. MY MOM BUILT
A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS. MY DAD 
TAUGHT 30 YEARS AT A 
HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGE. AND 
THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH CAROLINA 
CHOSE ME AS THEIR FIRST MINORITY
AND FIRST 
FEMALE GOVERNOR. AMERICA IS THE 
STORY THAT IS A WORK IN 
PROGRESS. NOW IS THE TIME TO 
BUILD ON THAT PROGRESS AND MAKE 
AMERICA EVEN FREER, FAIRER, AND 
BETTER FOR EVERYONE. THAT IS WHY
IT IS SO TRAGIC TO SEE SO MUCH 
OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY TURNING 
A BLIND EYE TOWARDS RIOTS, 
AND RAGE. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE 
KNOW WE CAN DO BETTER, AND OF 
COURSE WE VALUE AND RESPECT 
EVERY BLACK LIFE. THE BLACK COPS
WHO HAVE BEEN SHOT IN THE LINE 
OF DUTY, 
THEY MATTER. THE BLACK SMALL 
BUSINESS OWNERS WHO HAVE WATCHED
THEIR LIVES WORK GO UP IN 
FLAMES, THEY MATTER. THE BLACK 
KIDS WHO HAVE BEEN GUNNED DOWN 
ON THE PLAYGROUND, THEIR LIVES 
MATTER TOO. AND THEIR LIVES ARE 
BEING RUINED AND STOLEN BY THE 
VIOLENCE ON 
THE STREETS. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO 
BE LIKE THIS. IT WASN'T LIKE 
THIS IN SOUTH CAROLINA, FIVE 
YEARS AGO. OUR STATE CAME 
FACE-TO-FACE 
WITH EVIL. A WHITE SUPREMACIST 
WALKED INTO MOTHER EMMANUEL 
CHURCH DURING BIBLE STUDY. 12 
AFRICAN-AMERICANS PULLED UP A 
CHAIR, AND PRAYED WITH HIM, FOR 
AN HOUR. THEN HE BEGAN 
TO SHOOT. AFTER THAT HORRIFIC 
TRAGEDY, 
WE DIDN'T
TURN AGAINST EACH OTHER, WE CAME
TOGETHER, BLACK AND WHITE, 
DEMOCRAT AND REPUBLICAN TOGETHER
WE MADE THE HARD CHOICES, NEEDED
TO HEAL. AND REMOVED A DIVISIVE 
SYMBOL PEACEFULLY, AND 
RESPECTFULLY. WHAT HAPPENED 
THEN, SHOULD GIVE US HOPE NOW. 
AMERICA ISN'T PERFECT, BUT THE 
PRINCIPLES WE HOLD DEAR 
AREN'T PERFECT. THERE IS ONE 
THING I HAVE LEARNED, EVEN ON 
HER WORST DAYS, WE ARE BLESSED 
TO LIVE IN AMERICA. IT IS TIME 
TO KEEP THE BLESSING ALIVE FOR 
THE NEXT GENERATION. THIS 
PRESIDENT AND THIS PARTY ARE 
COMMITTED TO THAT 
NOBLE TASK. WE SEEK A NATION 
THAT RISES TOGETHER, NOT FALLS 
APART IN ANARCHY AND ANGER. WE 
KNOW THAT THE ONLY WAY 
TO OVERCOME
AMERICA'S CHALLENGES IS TO 
EMBRACE THE STRENGTHS. WE ARE 
STRIVING TO REACH A BRIGHTER 
FUTURE WHERE EVERY CHILD GOES TO
A WORLD-CLASS CHOSEN BY THEIR 
PARENTS. WHERE EVERY FAMILY 
LIVES IN A SAFE COMMUNITY WITH 
GOOD JOBS, WHERE EVERY 
ENTREPRENEUR HAS THE FREEDOM TO 
ACHIEVE AND INSPIRE. WHERE EVERY
BELIEVER CAN WORSHIP WITHOUT 
FEAR, AND EVERY LIFE 
IS PROTECTED. WHERE EVERY GIRL 
AND BOY, EVERY WOMEN AND MEN, OF
RACE AND RELIGION HAS THE BEST 
SHOT IN THE BEST LIFE. IN THIS 
ELECTION, WE MUST CHOOSE THE 
ONLY CANDIDATE WHO HAS AND WILL 
CONTINUE DELIVERING ON THAT 
VISION. PRESIDENT TRUMP AND VICE
PRESIDENT PENTZ, HAVE 
MY SUPPORT. AND AMERICA HAS MY 
PROMISE. IT WILL BUILD ON THE 
PROBLEMS OF 
OUR PAST. AND UNLOCK THE 
PROBLEMS OF THE FUTURE. THE 
FUTURE STARTS WHEN THE AMERICAN 
PEOPLE REELECT PRESIDENT 
DONALD TRUMP. THANK YOU, GOOD 
NIGHT, AND MAY GOD ALWAYS BLESS 
AMERICA. 
>>>
GOOD EVENING AMERICA, I'M DONALD
TRUMP JR., WE ARE HERE TONIGHT 
TO TALK ABOUT THE GREAT AMERICAN
STORY. TO TALK ABOUT THIS 
COUNTRY WE ALL LOVE. THIS LAND 
OF PROMISE AND OPPORTUNITY. BOTH
HEROES, AND GREATNESS. JUST A 
FEW SHORT MONTHS AGO WE WERE 
SEEING THE AMERICAN DREAM BECOME
A REALITY. FOR MORE OF OUR 
CITIZENS THAN EVER BEFORE. THE 
GREATEST PROLONGED ECONOMIC 
EXPANSION IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 
THE LOWEST UNEMPLOYMENT RATE, IN
NEARLY 50 YEARS. THE LOWEST 
UNEMPLOYMENT RATE EVER, FOR 
BLACK AMERICANS, HISPANIC 
AMERICANS, WOMEN, AND PRETTY 
MUCH EVERY OTHER DEMOCRATIC 
GROUP. AND THEN, COURTESY OF THE
CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY THE 
VIRUS STRUCK. THE CO-RESIDENT HE
TOOK ACTION, JOE BIDEN AND HIS 
DEMOCRAT ALLIES CALLED MY FATHER
A RACIST AND A XENOPHOBE FOR 
DOING IT. THEY PUT POLITICAL 
CORRECTNESS AHEAD OF SAFETY AND 
SECURITY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
FORTUNATELY, AS THE VIRUS BEGAN 
TO SPREAD THE PRESIDENT ACTED 
QUICKLY AND INSURED VENTILATORS 
GOT TWO HOSPITALS, HE DELIVERED 
P PND, 
HE RALLIED THE PRIVATE SECTOR TO
TACKLE THE 
NEW CHALLENGE. THERE IS MORE 
WORK TO DO, BUT THERE IS A LIGHT
AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL. JOB 
GAINS ARE OUTPACING WITH THE 
SO-CALLED EXPERTS EXPECTED. BUT 
BIDEN'S RADICAL LEFT WING 
POLICIES, WOULD STOP THE 
ECONOMIC 
RECOVERY COLD.
HE'S TALKING ABOUT SHUTTING THE 
COUNTRY DOWN AGAIN, IT IS 
MADNESS. DEMOCRATS CLAIM TO BE 
FOR WORKERS BUT THEY HAVE SPENT 
THE ENTIRE PANDEMIC TRYING TO 
SNEAK ATTACK FOR MILLIONAIRES 
AND DEMOCRATS RELIEF BILLS. THEN
THEY ATTACKED MY FATHER FOR 
SUSPENDING THE PAYROLL TAX FOR 
MIDDLE-CLASS WORKERS. IN FACT, 
IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT JOE 
BIDEN'S ENTIRE ECONOMIC PLATFORM
SEEMS DESIGNED TO CRUSH THE 
WORKING MAN AND WOMAN. HE 
SUPPORTED THE WORST TRADE DEALS 
IN THE HISTORY OF THE PLANET. HE
VOTED FOR THE NAFTA NIGHTMARE. 
DOWN THE TUBES WENT OUR AUTO 
INDUSTRY. HE PUSHED FOR PPP, 
GOODBYE 
MANUFACTURING JOBS. BEIJING 
BIDEN IS SO WEAK ON CHINA THAT 
THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY 
RECENTLY ASSESSED THE CHINESE 
COMMUNIST PARTY FAVORS BIDEN. 
THEY KNOW HE WILL WEAKEN US BOTH
ECONOMICALLY AND ON THE 
WORLD STAGE.
BIDEN ALSO WANTS TO BRING IN 
MORE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO TAKE 
JOBS FROM AMERICAN CITIZENS. HIS
OPEN BORDER POLICIES WILL DRIVE 
WAGES DOWN FOR AMERICANS AT A 
TIME WHEN LOW INCOME WORKERS ARE
GETTING REAL WAGE INCREASES FOR 
THE FIRST TIME IN MODERN 
HISTORY. HE'S PLEDGED TO REPEAL 
THE TRUMP TAX CUTS WHICH WERE 
THE BIGGEST IN OUR COUNTRY. 
AFTER EIGHT YEARS OF OBAMA 
AND BIDEN SLOW GROWTH TRUMPS 
POLICIES HAVE BEEN LIKE ROCKET 
FUEL TO THE ECONOMY ESPECIALLY 
TO THE MIDDLE CLASS. BIDEN HAS 
PROMISED TO TAKE THAT MONEY BACK
OUT OF YOUR POCKET, AND KEEP IT 
IN 
THE SWAMP.
THAT MAKES SENSE THOUGH 
CONSIDERING JOE BIDEN IS 
BASICALLY THE LOCH NESS MONSTER 
OF THE SWAMP. FOR THE PAST 
HALF-CENTURY, HE'S BEEN LURKING 
AROUND IN THERE, STICKS HIS HEAD
UP EVERY NOW AND AGAIN TO RUN 
FOR PRESIDENT THEN HE DISAPPEARS
AND DOESN'T DO MUCH IN BETWEEN. 
SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR HOPE, 
LOOK TO THE MAN WHO DID WHAT THE
FAILED OBAMA BIDEN 
ADMINISTRATION NEVER COULD DO, 
AND BUILD THE GREATEST ECONOMY 
OUR COUNTRY HAS EVER SEEN. AND 
PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL DO IT 
AGAIN. WE WILL BE STRONGER THAN 
EVER, BECAUSE WHEN WE PUT OUR 
MINDS TO IT, THERE IS NO 
OBSTACLE THAT AMERICAN CANCER 
BOUND. EXCEPT THERE IS A 
DIFFERENCE THIS TIME, IN THE 
PAST BOTH PARTIES BELIEVED IN 
THE GOODNESS 
OF AMERICA, WE AGREED ON WHERE 
WE WANTED TO GO, WE JUST 
DISAGREED ON HOW TO GET THERE. 
THIS TIME, THE OTHER PARTY IS 
ATTACKING THE VERY PRINCIPLES OF
WHICH OUR NATION WAS FOUNDED. 
FREEDOM OF THOUGHT? FREEDOM OF 
SPEECH? FREEDOM OF RELIGION? THE
RULE 
OF LAW? THOMAS JEFFERSON 
FAMOUSLY SAID, I HAVE SWORN UPON
THE ALTAR OF GOD ETERNAL 
HOSTILITY, BEGINS EVERY FORM OF 
TYRANNY OVER THE MIND OF MAN. 
OUR 
FOUNDERS BELIEVED THERE WAS 
NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN 
PROTECTING THE GOD-GIVEN RIGHT 
TO THINK FOR OURSELVES. NOW, THE
LEFT, THEY'RE TRYING TO CANCEL 
ALL OF 
THOSE FOUNDERS, THEY DON'T SEEM 
TO UNDERSTAND THIS IMPORTANT 
PRINCIPLE. IN ORDER TO IMPROVE 
IN THE FUTURE, WE MUST LEARN 
FROM OUR PAST, NOT ERASE IT. SO 
WERE NOT GOING TO TEAR DOWN 
MONUMENTS AND FORGET THE PEOPLE 
WHO BUILT OUR GREAT 
NATION, INSTEAD WE WILL LEARN 
FROM OUR PAST, SO WE DON'T 
REPEAT ANY MISTAKES. AND WE WILL
WORK TIRELESSLY TO IMPROVE THE 
LIVES OF ALL AMERICANS. JOE 
BIDEN AND THE RADICAL LEFT ARE 
NOW COMING FOR OUR FREEDOM OF 
SPEECH. THEY WANT TO BULLY US 
INTO SUBMISSION, IF THEY GET 
THEIR WAY, IT WILL NO LONGER BE 
THE SILENT MAJORITY. IT WILL BE 
THE 
SILENCED MAJORITY.
THIS HAS TO STOP, FREEDOM OF 
EXPRESSION USED TO BE A LIBERAL 
VALUE. AT LEAST BEFORE THE 
RADICAL LEFT TOOK OVER. NOW, THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY IS THE HOME OF 
FREE SPEECH. THE PLACE WHERE 
ANYONE FROM ANY BACKGROUND CAN 
SPEAK THEIR MIND, AND ME THE 
BEST IDEAS WIN. PEOPLE OF FAITH 
ARE UNDER ATTACK. YOU ARE NOT 
ALLOWED TO GO TO CHURCH, BUT 
MASS CHAOS IN THE STREETS GETS A
PASS. IT'S ALMOST LIKE THIS 
ELECTION IS SHAPING UP TO BE 
CHURCH, WORK, AND SCHOOL VERSUS 
RIOTING, LOOTING, AND VANDALISM.
OR, IN THE WORDS OF BIDEN, AND 
THE DEMOCRATS, PEACEFUL 
PROTESTING. ANARCHISTS
HAVE BEEN FLOODING THE STREETS 
AND DEMOCRAT MAYORS ARE ORDERING
THE POLICE TO STAND DOWN. SMALL 
BUSINESSES ACROSS AMERICA MANY 
OF THE MINORITY OWNED ARE BEING 
TORCHED BY MOBS, THE DEMOCRAT 
MAYORS PRETEND IT IS NOT 
HAPPENING THEY ACTUALLY CALLED 
IT A SUMMER 
OF LOVE. AND THAT BRINGS ME TO 
ANOTHER 
IMPORTANT PRINCIPLE. EVERY 
AMERICAN MUST BE FREE TO LIVE 
WITHOUT FEAR OF VIOLENCE IN YOUR
COUNTRY, IN YOUR COMMUNITIES, 
AND IN YOUR HOMES. ALL MEN AND 
WOMEN ARE CREATED EQUAL AND 
MUST BE TREATED EQUALLY UNDER 
THE LAW THAT IS WHY WE MUST PUT 
AN END TO RACISM AND WE MUST 
ENSURE THAT ANY POLICE OFFICER 
WHO ABUSES THEIR POWERS IS HELD 
ACCOUNTABLE. WHAT HAPPENED TO 
GEORGE FLOYD IS A DISGRACE AND 
IF YOU KNOW A POLICE OFFICER YOU
KNOW THEY AGREE WITH 
THAT TOO. BUT WE CANNOT LOSE 
SIGHT OF THE FACT THAT OUR 
POLICE ARE AMERICAN HEROES. THEY
DESERVE OUR DEEPEST 
APPRECIATION. BECAUSE NO MATTER 
WHAT THE DEMOCRATS SAY, YOU AND 
I 
BOTH KNOW, THAT WHEN WE DIAL 
911, WE DON'T WANT IT GOING TO 
VOICEMAIL. SO DEFUNDING THE 
POLICE, IS NOT 
AN OPTION. EVERYTHING STARTS 
WITH SAFETY AND SECURITY, YOU 
CAN'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE WITHOUT
IT. YOU CAN'T FOCUS ON BUILDING 
A BETTER FUTURE FOR YOUR 
CHILDREN WITHOUT THE PEACE OF 
MIND THAT THEY CAN STUDY SAFELY 
IN THEIR CLASSROOMS. PLAY SAFELY
IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS, AND 
SLEEP SAFELY IN 
THEIR BEDS. BUT SAFETY IS ONLY 
THE BEGINNING, TRUMPS AMERICA IS
A LAND OF OPPORTUNITIES, A PLACE
OF PROMISE, I WAS FORTUNATE 
ENOUGH TO GROW UP IN A FAMILY 
THAT COULD AFFORD THE BEST 
SCHOOLS IN THE FINEST 
UNIVERSITIES. WHAT A GREAT 
EDUCATION CANNOT BE THE 
EXCLUSIVE RIGHT OF THE RICH AND 
POWERFUL. IT MUST BE ACCESSIBLE 
TO ALL.
AND THAT IS WHY MY DAD IS A PRO 
SCHOOL CHOICE, THAT IS WHY HE IS
CALLED EDUCATION ACCESS THE 
CIVIL RIGHTS ISSUE NOT JUST OF 
OUR TIME, BUT OF ALL TIME. IT IS
UNACCEPTABLE, THAT TOO MANY 
AFRICAN-AMERICAN AND HISPANIC 
AMERICAN CHILDREN ARE STUCK IN 
BED SCHOOLS, BECAUSE OF THEIR 
ZIP CODE. 
DONALD TRUMP, WILL NOT STAND FOR
IT. IF DEMOCRATS REALLY WANTED 
TO HELP MINORITIES 
AND UNDERSERVED
COMMUNITIES, INSTEAD OF BOWING 
TO BIG BOSSES, THEY WOULD LET 
PARENTS CHOOSE WHAT SCHOOLS ARE 
BEST FOR THEIR KIDS. THEY WOULD 
LIMIT IMMIGRATION TO PROTECT 
AMERICAN WORKERS, THEY WOULD 
SUPPORT THE POLICE WHO PROTECT 
OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. THEY WOULD 
LEARN HOW TO NEGOTIATE TRADE 
DEALS, THE PRIORITIZE AMERICANS 
INTEREST FOR 
A CHANGE.
THEY WOULD END THE ENDLESS WARS 
AND QUICK SENDING OUR YOUNG 
PEOPLE TO SOLVE PROBLEMS IN 
FOREIGN LANDS. THEY WOULD CUT 
TAXES FOR FAMILIES AND WORKERS, 
THEY WOULD CREATE OPPORTUNITY 
ZONES THE DRIVE INVESTMENT, INTO
INNER CITIES. IN OTHER WORDS, IF
DEMOCRATS CARED FOR THE 
FORGOTTEN MEN AND WOMEN FOR OUR 
COUNTRY THEY WOULD DO EXACTLY 
WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP 
IS DOING. AMERICA, IS THE 
GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH, BUT 
MY FATHER'S ENTIRE WORLDVIEW 
REVOLVES AROUND THE IDEA THAT WE
CAN ALWAYS DO 
EVEN BETTER. IMAGINE THE LIFE 
YOU WANT TO HAVE, ONE WITH A 
GREAT JOB, A BEAUTIFUL HOME, A 
PERFECT FAMILY, YOU CAN 
HAVE IT. IMAGINE THE COUNTRY YOU
WANT TO LIVE IN, ONE WITH TRUE 
EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES. WHERE HARD 
WORK PAYS OFF AND JUSTICE IS 
SERVED WITH COMPASSION WITHOUT 
SOCIOLOGY. YOU CAN HAVE IT. 
IMAGINE A WORLD, 
WHERE THE EVILS OF COMMUNISM AND
TERRORISM ARE NOT GIVEN A CHANCE
TO SPREAD, WHERE HEROES ARE 
CELEBRATED AND THE GOOD GUYS 
WIN, YOU CAN HAVE IT. THAT IS 
THE LIFE, THAT IS THE COUNTRY, 
THAT IS THE WORLD THAT DONALD 
TRUMP IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY 
ARE AFTER. AND YES, YOU CAN HAVE
IT. UNLIKE JOE BIDEN AND THE 
RADICAL 
LEFT DEMOCRATS,
OUR PARTY IS OPEN TO EVERYONE. 
IT STARTS BY REJECTING RADICALS 
WHO WANTED TO DRIVE US INTO THE 
DARK, AND EMBRACING THE MAN WHO 
REPRESENTS A BRIGHT AND 
BEAUTIFUL FUTURE FOR ALL. IT 
STARTS BY REELECTING DONALD J 
TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED 
STATES, THANK YOU, AND GOD 
BLESS AMERICA. 
>>> 
I'M CATALINA BLOUSE, I WORK IN A
POLITICAL SPACE. I AM THE 
FOUNDER OF A NUTRITIONAL 
COMPANY. WE GREW UP IN A SMALL 
TOWN OUTSIDE 
OF CHICAGO,
OUR MOM IS FROM GUATEMALA OUR 
DAD SMALL BUSINESS OWNER FROM 
CHICAGO, AND SO HE BROUGHT TWO 
DIFFERENT CULTURES TOGETHER TO 
CREATE US. A LITTLE BIT OF 
CRAZY, AND A LITTLE BIT OF FUN. 
THEY TAUGHT US THE VALUES OF 
HARD WORK, LIBERTY, AND TO LOVE 
THIS 
COUNTRY UNAPOLOGETICALLY. OUR 
DAD IS A BEEKEEPER, AND SO MANY 
DIFFERENT THINGS, IT WAS SUCH A 
SWEET 
THING. 
>> MY LINE WAS HAVE YOU EVER 
BEEN STUNG BY A BEE. 
>> REALLY IT WAS TEACHING 
US SELF-RELIANCE, AND WE ARE THE
ONES WHO NEED TO PUT IN THE HARD
WORK, AND GET WHAT WE 
WANT. 
>> THE MOTHER BEING FROM 
GUATEMALA ESCAPING WHAT SHE HAD 
THERE, GROWING UP 
IN POVERTY, AND COMING HERE TO 
IT STATES BEING ABLE TO FULFILL 
HER DESTINY, AND BE ABLE TO BE 
SOMEBODY THAT SHE COULDN'T, SHE 
REALLY INSTILLED IN US, THE 
SENSE OF PURPOSE, BUT ALSO 
SELF ACCOUNTABILITY AND THAT WE 
HAD TO STRIVE TO DO THE THINGS 
WE WANTED AND IT WAS UP TO US TO
MAKE THINGS HAPPEN. IN AMERICA, 
THERE IS NO LACK OF OPPORTUNITY 
YOU DESIGN YOUR OWN DESTINY, THE
PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY THROUGH 
HER WORK, THEY'RE HAVING A MORAL
VALUE SYSTEM. THAT IS THE 
AMERICAN DREAM, PRESIDENT TRUMP 
IS PROVIDING THAT 
FOR EVERYBODY.
LOOK AT MY BUSINESS, BEGIN 
HEALTH. AS THE SMALL START OFF I
AM GROWING AND LAUNCHING, WE ARE
CONSTANTLY TRYING TO INNOVATE, 
AND THE BIG CHALLENGE THE 
COVID-19 BROUGHT THAT WE DIDN'T 
SEE COMING WAS MOST EVERYTHING 
KIND OF SHUT DOWN. AND WHEN YOU 
ARE A SMALL START UP AND YOU 
HAVE LIMITED FUNDING, AND THE 
FUNDING IS REALLY ONLY TWO GET 
YOU TO THE NEXT MILESTONE, WE 
WERE REALLY STRUGGLING, AND SO 
WE WERE
ABLE TO APPLY FOR A PPE LOAN, 
WHICH REALLY HELPED ALLOW US TO 
CONTINUE HIRING, AND WORKING AND
DEVELOPING OUR PRODUCTS SO THAT 
WE COULD ULTIMATELY STILL 
LAUNCH. IT IS NOW MORE THAN EVER
SO IMPORTANT TO HAVE A PRESIDENT
AND ADMINISTRATION THAT 
UNDERSTANDS THAT SMALL BUSINESS 
IS THE BACKBONE OF 
THE ECONOMY. THE JOBS ACT WAS 
HUGE, MANUFACTURING, 
DEREGULATION, FAIR TRADE, THESE 
ARE THINGS THAT AFFECTED REAL 
AMERICANS. 
>> WE HAVE A CHAMPION IN THE 
OVAL OFFICE WHO HAS THIS 
BUSINESS BACKGROUND AND 
UNDERSTANDS THE NEED FOR SMALL 
BUSINESSES LIKE MY SISTERS TO 
SURVIVE. WE AREN'T THE STEREO 
TYPICAL CONSERVATIVES, WE COME 
FROM HISPANIC DESCENT, AND WE 
ARE MILLENNIAL WOMEN, AND THAT 
IS NOT WHAT THE MEDIA WANTS. AND
SO, SOMEBODY LIKE 
ALEXANDER CORTEZ, THE LAST WOMEN
WHO COME OUT WITH 
THESE VERY
DESTRUCTIVE POLITICAL IDEOLOGIES
THAT ARE TRYING TO OVER TRADE 
MILLENNIAL'S IN THE NEXT 
GENERATION. I HAVE DECIDED TO 
STEP UP AND SAY WE NEED A 
COUNTER VOICE TO 
THESE WOMEN.
THERE HAS BEEN ASSAULT ON 
CAPITALISM, JUST GENERALLY. AND 
I THINK IT IS VERY SCARY TO 
IMAGINE A ABIDING WORLD, WHERE 
THE PROGRESSIVE WING IDEAS, ARE 
STARTING TO TAKE FRONT AND 
CENTER STAGE. THAT WILL REALLY 
CHOKE THE AMERICAN ECONOMY. 
THERE WILL BE OVER REGULATION 
OVER TAXATION, IT IS VERY HARD 
TO INNOVATE THROUGH THOSE 
TWO THINGS. AND ULTIMATELY WHAT 
IS REALLY SAD, IS THE THOUGHT OF
YOU KNOW, MAKING ALL OF US 
DEPENDENT ON THE GOVERNMENT, AND
WE ARE NOT GOING TO ALLOW THAT. 
>> I'VE SEEN A LOT OF MODERATE 
PEOPLE, NOW CHANGING OVER 
BECAUSE OF EVERYTHING THAT HAS 
BEEN HAPPENING. THIS 
IS A TASTE OF BIDENS AMERICA, 
THE WRITING, THE CRIME, THE 
FREEDOM IS AT STAKE NOW AND THIS
IS GOING TO BE 
THE MOST MOURNFUL ACTION OF OUR 
TIME. WE WANT TO PRESERVE THE 
AMERICA THAT HER MOTHER CAME 
HERE FOR. HAVING A THRIVING 
ECONOMY, THAT IS KEEPING AMERICA
GREAT, AND PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS 
DELIVERED ON THAT PROMISE. HE IS
TRULY FIGHTING FOR THE 
AMERICAN PEOPLE. WE ARE THE 
GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, 
ON OUR WORST DAY. WE ARE STILL 
THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE 
WORLD AND IN ORDER TO PRESERVE 
THAT, BY PUTTING AMERICA FIRST. 
BY HAVING A THRIVING ECONOMY, BY
HAVING HAPPINESS.
>> GOOD EVENING I'M SENATOR TIM 
SCOTT FROM THE GREAT STATE OF 
SOUTH CAROLINA, FOR ALL OF THOSE
TUNING IN IN THE POLITICAL 
PROCESS, GOD BLESS YOU. THIS 
ISN'T HOW I PICTURED TONIGHT, 
OUR COUNTRY IS EXPERIENCING 
SOMETHING NONE OF US ENVISIONED.
FROM A GLOBAL PANDEMIC TO THE 
DEATHS OF GEORGE FLOYD, AND 
BREONNA TAYLOR. 2020 HAS TESTED 
OUR NATION, IN WAYS WE HAVEN'T 
SEEN FOR DECADES. BUT REGARDLESS
OF THE CHALLENGES PRESENTED TO 
US, EVERY FOUR YEARS, AMERICANS 
COME TOGETHER TO VOTE. TO SHARE 
STORIES OF WHAT MAKES OUR NATION
STRONG, AND THE LESSONS WE HAVE 
LEARNED THAT CAN STRENGTHEN IT 
FOR FURTHER GENERATIONS. WHILE 
THIS ELECTION, IS BETWEEN DONALD
TRUMP AND JOE BIDEN IT IS NOT 
SOLELY ABOUT 
DONALD TRUMP
AND JOE BIDEN. IT IS ABOUT THE 
PROMISE OF AMERICA. IT IS ABOUT 
YOU AND ME, OUR CHALLENGES AND 
HEARTBREAKS, HOPES AND DREAMS, 
IT IS ABOUT HOW WE RESPOND WHEN 
TACKLING CRITICAL 
ISSUES LIKE POLICE REFORM, WHEN 
DEMOCRATS CALL OR WORK, A TOKEN 
EFFORT. AND WALKED OUT OF THE 
ROOM, DURING THE NEGOTIATIONS. 
BECAUSE THEY WANTED THE ISSUE 
MORE AND
THEN THEY WANTED THE SOLUTION. 
DO WE WANT A SOCIETY, THAT 
BREEDS SUCCESS, OR CULTURE THAT 
CANCELS EVERYTHING IT EVEN 
SLIGHTLY DISAGREES WITH? I KNEW 
WHERE I STAND, BECAUSE YOU SEE, 
I AM LIVING MY MOTHER'S AMERICAN
DREAM, MY PARENTS DIVORCED WHEN 
I WAS SEVEN YEARS OLD, WE MOVED 
IN WITH MY GRANDPARENTS INTO A 
TWO-BEDROOM HOME, WITH ME, MY 
MOM, AND MY BROTHER SHARING A 
ROOM, AND ONE BED. MY MOM WORKED
16 HOURS A DAY TO KEEP FOOD ON 
THE TABLE AND A ROOF ON OUR 
HEADS. SHE KNEW, THAT IF WE 
COULD FIND 
THE OPPORTUNITY,
OF BIGGER THINGS THEY WOULD 
COME. I THOUGHT I HAD TO USE 
FOOTBALL TO SUCCEED IN LIFE. AND
MY FOCUS ON ACADEMICS FADED 
AWAY. MY FRESHMAN YEAR, I FAILED
OUT. I FAILED FOUR SUBJECTS. 
SPANISH, ENGLISH, WORLD 
GEOGRAPHY, AND EVEN CIVICS. 
TRUST ME, AFTER SEVEN YEARS IN 
THE SENATE, I KNOW I AM NOT THE 
ONLY ONE IN CONGRESS WHO FAILED 
CIVICS. BUT EVEN WHILE I WAS 
FEELING THE 
NINTH GRADE
MY MOTHER ALWAYS SAID TO ME 
TIMMY, IF YOU WOULD JUST SHOOT 
FOR THE MOON EVEN IF YOU MISS, 
YOU WOULD BE AMONG THE STARS. 
SHE NEVER LOST FAITH IN ME, EVEN
WHEN I LOST FAITH IN MYSELF. 
BECAUSE OF HER ENCOURAGEMENT, I 
WENT TO SUMMER SCHOOL IN COTTA, 
THE NEXT YEAR I MET 
MY MENTOR
A CHICK-FIL-A OPERATOR, JOHN SAW
SOMETHING IN ME THAT I COULDN'T 
SEE IN MYSELF. AND STARTED 
TEACHING ME VALUABLE LIFE 
LESSONS, LIKE HAVING A JOB TO BE
A GOOD THING, BUT CREATING JOBS 
WOULD BE 
EVEN BETTER. AND HAVING AN 
INCOME WOULD CHANGE MY 
LIFESTYLE, CREATING A PROFIT 
COULD CHANGE MY COMMUNITY. HE 
PLANTED THE SEEDS OF WHAT WOULD 
BECOME OPPORTUNITY ZONES. THIS 
INITIATIVE THAT THE PRESIDENT 
AND I WORKED TOGETHER ON, IS NOW
BRINGING MORE THAN $75 BILLION 
OF PRIVATE SECTOR INVESTMENTS 
INTO 
DISTRESSED COMMUNITIES.
TO MAKE SURE EVERY CHILD IN 
EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD HAS A QUALITY
EDUCATION. I DON'T CARE, IF IT 
IS 
A PUBLIC WHEN A PARENT HAS A 
CHOICE, THEIR KID HAS A 
BETTER CHANCE.
AND THE PRESIDENT HAS FOUGHT 
ALONGSIDE ME ON THAT. LATER IN 
LIFE, I STARTED MY OWN SMALL 
BUSINESS, THAT IS WHY I KNOW, 
THAT IT IS CRITICAL FOR US TO 
HAVE A TAX CODE THAT ENCOURAGES 
GROWTH. WE ACTUALLY SAW REVENUES
TO THE TREASURY INCREASE, AFTER 
WE LOWERED TAXES, IN 2017. REST 
ASSURED, THE DEMOCRATS DO NOT 
WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT. AT THE 
START OF MY SMALL BUSINESS, IT 
IS BEEN SOME TIME AND LOCAL 
GOVERNMENTS I DECIDED TO RUN FOR
CONGRESS IN 2010. THE DISTRICT 
IS BASED IN CHARLESTON, SOUTH 
CAROLINA. WHERE THE CIVIL WAR 
STARTED, AGAINST A SUN OF THE 
LEGISLATOR SENATOR. YOU MAY BE 
ASKING YOURSELF, HOW DOES A POOR
BLACK KID FROM A SINGLE-PARENT 
HOUSEHOLD RUN AND WIN IN A RACE,
PRODDED WITH REPUBLICANS. 
AGAINST CONCERN. BECAUSE OF THE 
EVOLUTION, OF THE 
SOUTHERN HEART.
IN AN OVERWHELMINGLY WHITE 
DISTRICT, THE VOTERS JUDGED ME 
NOT, ON THE COLOR OF MY SKIN, 
BUT ON THE CONTENT, OF MY 
CHARACTER. WE LIVE IN A WORLD 
THAT ONLY IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO 
BELIEVE AND THE BAD NEWS 
RACIALLY, ECONOMICALLY, AND 
CULTURALLY POLARIZING NEWS, THE 
TRUTH IS, OUR NATIONS ARE ALWAYS
BENDING BACK 
TOWARDS FAIRNESS. WE ARE 
ALWAYS STRIVING
TO BE BETTER. WHEN WE STUMBLE, 
AND WE WILL, WE PICK OURSELVES 
BACK UP, AND TRY AGAIN. WE DON'T
GIVE IN TO CANCEL CULTURE OR THE
RADICAL AND FACTUALLY BASELESS 
BELIEFS THAT THE 
WORST TODAY, THEN IN THE 1860S 
OR THE 1960s. WE HAVE WORK TO 
DO, BUT I BELIEVE IN THE 
GOODNESS, OF AMERICA. THE 
PROMISE THAT ALL MEN AND ALL 
WOMEN ARE CREATED EQUALLY. AND 
IF YOU'RE 
WATCHING TONIGHT, I'M BETTING 
YOU DO TOO. OVER THE PAST FOUR 
YEARS, WE HAVE MADE TREMENDOUS 
PROGRESS, TOWARDS THAT PROMISE. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP BUILT A MOST 
INCLUSIVE ECONOMY, 7 MILLION 
JOBS 
CREATED, PRE-COVID-19. AND TWO 
THIRDS, OF THEM WENT TO 
WOMEN, AFRICAN-AMERICANS, AND 
HISPANICS. THE FIRST NEW MAJOR 
EFFORT TO TACKLE POVERTY IN 
GENERATIONS. OPPORTUNITIES, 
WE PUT
HARD EARNED TAX DOLLARS BACK 
INTO PEOPLE'S POCKETS BY CUTTING
THEIR TAXES, ESPECIALLY FOR 
SINGLE-PARENT HOUSEHOLDS, LIKE 
THE ONE I GREW UP IN, CUTTING 
SINGLE MOTHER TAXES, 70%, 
ON AVERAGE. PRESIDENT TRUMP 
SUPPORTED THESE TAX CUTS FOR THE
SINGLE MOMS AND OTHER WORKING 
FAMILIES, AND SIGN THESE 
POLICIES INTO LAW. AND OUR 
NATION, IS BETTER OFF FOR IT. 
SO, I'M GOING TO ASK YOU THE 
AMERICAN PEOPLE. NOT TO SIMPLY 
LOOK AT WHAT THE CANDIDATES SAY 
BUT TO LOOK BACK, AT WHAT THEY 
HAVE DONE. THIS ELECTION, IS 
ABOUT YOUR FUTURE AND IT IS 
CRITICAL TO PAINT A FULL PICTURE
OF THE RECORDS OF DONALD TRUMP, 
AND JOE BIDEN. JOE 
BIDEN SAID IF A BLACK MAN DIDN'T
VOTE FOR HIM HE WASN'T TRULY 
BLACK, JOE BIDEN SAID BLACK 
PEOPLE ARE A MONOLITHIC 
COMMUNITY, IT WAS JOE BIDEN WHO 
SAID POOR KIDS CAN BE JUST AS 
SMART. AS WHITE KIDS. AND WHILE 
HIS WORDS ARE ONE THING, HIS 
ACTIONS TAKE IT TO A WHOLE NEW 
LEVEL. 
IN 1994, BIDEN LED THE CHARGE OF
THE CRIME BILL THAT PUT MILLIONS
OF BLACK AMERICANS BEHIND BARS. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S
CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM LAW 
FIXED MANY OF THE DISPARITIES 
BIDEN CREATED AND MADE OUR 
SYSTEM MORE FAIR AND JUST, FOR 
ALL AMERICANS. JOE BIDEN ALSO 
FAILED OUR NATIONS HISTORICALLY 
BLACK COLLEGES AND 
UNIVERSITIES KEEPING
BLAME ON THEM, AS THEY FOUGHT TO
ENSURE OUR YOUNG FOLKS HAD 
ACCESS TO HIGHER EDUCATION. ONCE
AGAIN, TO CLEAN UP JOE BIDEN'S 
MESS, PRESIDENT TRUMP SIGNED 
INTO LAW HISTORICALLY HIGH 
FUNDING FOR HBCUs, AS WELL AS A 
BILL, TO GIVE THEM PERMANENT 
FUNDING, FOR THE FIRST TIME 
EVER. AND NOW JOE BIDEN WANTS TO
COME FOR YOUR POCKETBOOKS UNLESS
OF COURSE YOU ARE A BLUE STATE 
MILLIONAIRE I'M SERIOUS. THAT IS
ONE OF THEIR SOLUTIONS FOR THE 
PANDEMIC. THEY WANTED TAKE MORE 
MONEY FROM 
YOUR POCKET,
AND GIVE IT TO MANHATTAN ELITES,
AND HOLLYWOOD MOGULS SO THAT 
THEY GET A TAX BREAK. 
REPUBLICANS HOWEVER, PAST 
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S GENERATION TAX
REFORM BILL THAT LOWERED TAXES, 
FOR SINGLE MOMS. WORKING 
FAMILIES, AND THOSE IN NEED. SO 
WHEN IT COMES TO IT WHAT JOE 
BIDEN SAYS HE WILL DO, LOOK AT 
HIS ACTIONS. LOOK AT HIS 
POLICIES. LOOK AT WHAT HE 
ALREADY DID, AND WHAT HE DIDN'T 
DO, WHILE HE HAS BEEN IN 
WASHINGTON FOR 47 YEARS. LADIES 
AND GENTLEMEN, PEOPLE DON'T 
ALWAYS SEE THOSE FAILURES. 
BECAUSE THEY THINK WE'RE HAVING 
A POLICY DEBATE ON TWO SIDES OF 
AN ISSUE. THAT IS NOT WHAT IS 
HAPPENING. OUR SIDE IS WORKING 
ON POLICY, JOE BIDEN HAS RADICAL
DEMOCRATS TRYING TO PERMANENTLY 
TRANSFORM WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN
AMERICAN. MAKE NO MISTAKE. JOE 
BIDEN AND 
KAMALA HARRIS WANT A CULTURAL 
REVOLUTION, A FUNDAMENTALLY 
DIFFERENT AMERICA, IF WE 
LET THEM, THEY WILL TURN OUR 
COUNTRY INTO A SOCIALIST UTOPIA 
AND HISTORY HAS TAUGHT US THAT 
PATH ONLY LEADS TO PAIN 
AND MISERY, ESPECIALLY FOR 
HARD-WORKING PEOPLE, HOPING TO 
RISE. INSTEAD, WE MUST FOCUS ON 
THE PROMISE OF THE AMERICAN 
JOURNEY. I KNOW THAT JOURNEY 
WELL. MY 
GRANDFATHER IS HAVING HIS 99th 
BIRTHDAY IT WOULD HAVE BEEN 
TOMORROW. GROWING UP, HE HAD TO 
CROSS THE STREET IF A WHITE 
PERSON 
WAS COMING HE SUFFERED THE 
INDIGNITY, OF BEING FORCED OUT 
OF SCHOOL AS A THIRD GRADER TO 
PICK COTTON, HE NEVER LEARNED TO
READ 
OR WRITE. YET, HE LIVED LONG 
ENOUGH TO SEE 
HIS GRANDSON
BECOME THE FIRST 
AFRICAN-AMERICAN TO BE ELECTED 
TO BOTH THE UNITED STATES HOUSE,
AND THE UNITED STATES SENATE IN 
THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY. OUR
FAMILY, WENT FROM COTTON TO 
CONGRESS IN 
ONE LIFETIME. AND THAT IS WHY I 
BELIEVE THAT THE NEXT AMERICAN 
CENTURY, CAN BE BETTER THAN THE 
LAST. THERE ARE MILLIONS OF 
FAMILIES, JUST LIKE MINE ALL 
ACROSS 
THIS NATION, FULL OF POTENTIAL, 
SEEKING TO LIVE THE 
AMERICAN DREAM. AND I AM HERE 
TONIGHT, TO TELL YOU THAT 
SUPPORTING THE REPUBLICAN TICKET
GIVES YOU THE BEST CHANCE, OF 
MAKING THAT DREAM A REALITY. GOD
BLESS YOU, AND FATHER, THESE 
CONTINUE BLESSING THE UNITED 
STATES OF AMERICA. GOD 
BLESS. 
>>> THERE YOU 
HAVE IT A COMBATIVE KICKOFF FROM
THE PARTY BEHIND THE PRESIDENT 
OF THE UNITED STATES. THIS IS 
LIFE COVERED FROM THE WASHINGTON
POST I AM LIBBY CASEY. DAY ONE 
OF THE NATIONAL CONVENTION 
OFFERED A SHARP CONTRAST WITH 
THE DEMOCRATS SPECIFICALLY JOE 
BIDEN'S OFFER TO BE A CHOICE OF 
LIGHT. SEEKERS TONIGHT HIT 
SOCIALIST COMMUNIST CHINA AND 
THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE JOE BIDEN
REPRISING DONALD TRUMP. WITH ME 
TONIGHT, WE HAVE RHONDA COLVIN, 
AND  JAMES HOHMANN,  WHAT ARE 
YOUR TOP THOUGHTS AFTER WATCHING
TONIGHT QUESTION MARK 
>> IT WAS NOT THE HOPEFUL 
OPTIMISTIC TONE WE WERE PROMISED
THAT IS A BIG DEBATE, IT IS SO 
NEGATIVE. THERE WAS THE TENSION 
WE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE HAND, 
WHICH IS THIS KIND 
OF DESIRED TO PROJECT OPTIMISM 
WITH THE ECONOMY, BOUNCING BACK 
AND AMERICA IS GOING TO TURN A 
CORNER WITH SORT OF RUNNING LIKE
A CHALLENGER IN SOME WAYS. IT'S 
LIKE THEY'RE PAINTING THIS 
PICTURE 
OF THIS DYSTOPIAN HELLS GATE, 
AND YOU SAW THE TENSION THERE 
TOWARDS THE END OF 
THE NIGHT. WITH GOING FROM NIKKI
HALEY, WHO TALKED ABOUT HER 
INSPIRING IMMIGRANT STORY TO 
GOING TO DONALD TRUMP JR., AND 
THEN GOING TO SCOTT AND IN SOME 
WAY NIKKI HALEY AND SCOTT GAVE 
TRADITIONAL REPUBLICAN SPEECHES 
BUT THEY HAD AN EDGE TO THEM, 
THAT IS VERY FITTING WITH SORT 
OF THE THEME OF THE TRUMP 
PRESIDENCY AND THIS CONVENTION 
YOU SAW THIS WITH A COUPLE IN 
ST. LOUIS WHO 
TALKED ABOUT YOU KNOW, THEY'RE 
COMING FOR YOU NEXT, NO ONE IS 
SAFE, SO I THINK THAT ULTIMATELY
WILL END UP BEING WHAT IS 
REMEMBERED MORE THAN SORT OF THE
EFFORTS TO OFFER SOME UPLIFT 
EARLIER IN THE EVENING. 
>> RHONDA, WHAT ARE YOUR INITIAL
THOUGHTS? 
>> LOOKING BACKWARD I THINK TIM 
SCOTT GAVE A FEATURE, I WAS 
WONDERING WHY HE WAS GIVING THE 
LAST SPOT,
THE SPEAKING POSITION TONIGHT. 
AND I THINK HE WAS UTILIZED TO 
SHOW THAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY 
IS ABOUT PROGRESS HE TALKED 
ABOUT HOW HE IS AN ILLUSTRATION 
OF HOW THE SOUTH HAS CHANGED IN 
PROGRESS, AND HE IS DIFFERENT 
THAN WHAT HIS FATHER'S 
GENERATION IS, AND YES THERE 
WERE PROBLEMS, BUT AMERICA CAN 
WORK THROUGH THEM, SO IT WAS 
REALLY INTERESTING THAT HE WAS 
THE LAST RACE BECAUSE HE ISN'T A
LOYALIST TO THE PRESIDENT I 
WOULDN'T PUT THEM IN THE SAME 
CALL MS. JIM JORDAN OR MATT 
GAETZ, HE WAS CRITICAL OF THE 
PRESIDENT EARLIER THIS SUMMER 
WHEN THE PRESIDENT RETWEETED A 
PHOTO OF A TRUMP SUPPORTER 
IN FLORIDA
SAYING WHITE POWER, TIM SCOTT 
WENT ON NETWORK TV AND SAID THE 
PRESIDENT NEEDS TO TAKE THAT 
DOWN. SO HE WAS GIVEN THAT LAST 
POSITION, AND SORT OF AN APPEAL 
TO AMERICANS, TO SAY THAT THINGS
AREN'T GREAT, BUT THEY CAN BE 
BETTER LOOK AT ME. ALSO, I THINK
RACE WAS CERTAINLY A PART OF THE
NIGHT, RUN DOWN. NIKKI HALEY 
DISCUSSED IT 
VERNON JONES,
HERSCHEL WALKER SAID HE HURTS 
WHEN HE HEARS THAT DONALD TRUMP 
IS A RACIST. BUT CERTAINLY THAT 
IS ADDRESSING CRITICISMS THAT 
MANY HAVE HAD ABOUT THE TRUMP 
ADMINISTRATION AS WELL AS 
CRITICISMS FOR THE REPUBLICAN 
PARTY AND HOW THEY HAVE HANDLED 
SOME OF THE LEGISLATION ON THE 
HILL WITH POLICE REFORM, SO 
THOSE WERE PROBABLY TWO OF MY 
TOP TAKEAWAYS. 
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH RHONDA, 
LET'S GO BACK TO JOYCE KOH 
OUTSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE. 
>> WELL, LIBBY, NIKKI HALEY 
SPEAKING TONIGHT, AND REALLY 
TALKING ABOUT HER FORMER 
POSITION IN THE U.N. AMBASSADOR 
STARTING OFF BY COMPARING IT TO 
THE OBAMA BIDEN FOREIGN POLICY 
WITH THAT OF PRESIDENT TRUMP, 
AND SHE SPOKE TO SOME OF HER 
EXPERIENCE AT THAT LEVEL BUT 
THEN SHE BEGAN 
TALKING ABOUT THE CURRENT MOMENT
THAT WE ARE IN, AND DEFENDING 
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND I THINK ONE 
OF THE QUOTES THAT STICKS OUT 
FROM TONIGHT FROM HER SPEECH 
TONIGHT, IS WHEN SHE SAID POINT 
BLANK AMERICA IS NOT A RACIST 
COUNTRY, WHAT IS INTERESTING 
ABOUT THAT IS THAT SHE WENT INTO
A STORY OF WHEN SHE WAS A 
LITTLE GIRL, IN THE DEEP SOUTH 
OF SOUTH CAROLINA, AS AN INDIAN 
AMERICAN, SHE HAD PARENTS THAT 
WERE IN THE END SHE SAID HER DAD
WORE A TURBAN AND THIS IS 
SOMETHING WE HAVE HEARD BEFORE 
BUT SHE 
SAID THAT
DESPITE THE DISCRIMINATION THEY 
FACED THEY WENT ON TO BECOME 
SUCCESSFUL IN THIS COUNTRY THEIR
DAD GOING ON TO BECOME A 
PROFESSOR FOR 30 YEARS, AT AN 
HBC YOU AND HER MOTHER BEING AN 
ENTREPRENEUR, SO IT'S 
INTERESTING THAT SHE SAID THAT 
AMERICA IS NOT A RACIST COUNTRY 
THAT GAVE AN EXAMPLE OF THE 
RACISM THAT SHE FACED, HER 
FAMILY FACED IN SAYING THAT THEY
OVERCAME THAT THE THEIR FAMILY 
OVERCAME THAT SHE ALSO TALKED 
ABOUT BLACK LIVES MATTER, AND IT
WAS IN THE REGARD OF SAYING THAT
BLACK POLICE MATTER AND BLACK 
STORE CLERKS 
MATTER, WHEN WRITING AND WAITING
HAPPENS, AND SHE ALSO GIVE AN 
EXAMPLE OF HER 
OWN LEADERSHIP THROUGH RACIAL 
TENSION TALKING ABOUT THE 
CHARLESTON MASSACRE THAT 
HAPPENED IN HER STATE WHILE SHE 
WAS THE GOVERNOR. AND EXPLAINING
HOW SHE WORKED WITH REPUBLICANS 
AND DEMOCRATS TO BRING THE STATE
THROUGH A REALLY 
TOUGH TIME. I'M COVERING THE 
SOUTH CAROLINA STATEHOUSE DURING
THE TIME SHE DID WORK WITH 
DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS IN 
BOTH THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE, 
TO PASS A BILL TO BRING DOWN THE
CONFEDERATE FLAG OFF THE 
STATEHOUSE GROUNDS THERE. AND 
IT IS WHAT SHE WAS PRAISED FOR, 
SHE WAS PRAISED FOR BEING A 
LEADER IN SOUTH CAROLINA AT THE 
TIME MOVING THE STATE THROUGH 
A PRETTY
TOUGH TIME, A REALLY PAINFUL 
TIME, IN THE STATES HISTORY. AND
SHE WAS YOU KNOW, PRAISED FOR 
BEING THAT LEADER OF UNITY AND 
THAT IS IN SHARP CONTRAST TO 
WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP HAD DONE, 
WHAT WE HAVE SEEN HIM DONE, IN 
THESE TIMES OF RACIAL TENSION IT
IS EXACTLY WHAT HE HAS BEEN 
CRITICIZED FOR NOT DOING. YOU 
KNOW, BRINGING THE REPUBLICANS 
OF THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE TOGETHER 
OF COURSE, WE REMEMBER HIS WORDS
IN 
THE CHARLOTTESVILLE
UNITE THE RIOTS RALLY, WHERE 
THERE WERE NEO-NAZIS AND WHITE 
SUPREMACIST ACUMEN TO THE TOWN 
HE SAID THEY WERE GOOD PEOPLE ON
BOTH SIDES. SO IT IS 
INTERESTING, THAT THIS SPEECH 
THAT NIKKI HALEY WAS ABLE TO 
GIVE TONIGHT ONE THAT REALLY 
SPOKE TO THE CURRENT MOMENT BUT 
IN A LOT OF WAYS, WAS IN 
CONTRAST TO THE WAY THE 
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS HANDLED THESE
MOMENTS. LIBBY. 
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
>> WELL, THIS IS LIVE COVERED 
FROM THE WASHINGTON POST. COMING
UP POLITICS REPORTER JOINS US 
AND WE WILL HAVE A PREVIEW OF 
THE FIRST LADIES BIG MOMENT, 
STAY 
WITH US.
>>>
THERE WAS A LOT OF DARK WARNINGS
ABOUT JOE BIDEN, THAT WERE MORE 
ABOUT MEMBERS OF THE 
LARGER DEMOCRATIC
PARTY, ABOUT THE LEFT THAN ABOUT
BIDEN SPECIFICALLY SO WHAT YOU 
HEARD FROM DELEGATES IN 
CHARLOTTE AS THEY NOMINATED, WAS
THE SAME THING BUT MORE SPECIFIC
YOU HAVE THE TAX ON THE DNC 
CAUCUSES THE TWO OF THEM THAT 
DIDN'T GET THE PLEDGE, THE 
SPECIFIC WARNINGS ABOUT WHAT 
DEMOCRATS WERE REALLY LIKE I 
THINK, THERE WAS STUFF ABOUT JOE
BIDEN, I THOUGHT PAULA, THE 
DEPARTMENT FATHER, ANDREW 
POLLACK I SHOULD SAY, MENTIONING
THIS BIDEN GAP WHICH A LOT OF US
NOTICE, SAYING HE MET 
WITH THE
PARSONS KID HE MIGHT HAVE MEANT 
FAMILIES IN CONNECTICUT AND 
NEWTOWN BUT HE SAID PARKLAND 
KID, HOW HE SOUNDED CONFUSED 
THAT WAS THE FIRST SHARP ATTACK 
THEN NEARED WITH THE TRUMP 
CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN SOMEWHAT 
EFFECTIVE WITH. A LOT OF THE 
REST WAS AGAIN ATTACKING PEOPLE 
WHO ARE NOT JOE BIDEN, WARNING 
HE HAS AN AGENDA IF HE WINS. 
MIXED WITH TIM SCOTT, SO JOE 
BIDEN IS BOTH SO WEAK THAT 
THEY'RE GOING TO DISMANTLE THE 
POLICE BUT JOE BIDEN IS ALSO THE
SPONSOR FOR CRIME BUILDING, IT'S
DIFFICULT TO WIND IT TOGETHER, 
YOU FINALLY ANSWERED A QUESTION 
WE ALL HAD HERE HOW CAN YOU BE 
IN TWO PLACES AT ONCE. I THOUGHT
YOU WERE IN CHARLOTTE EARLIER 
TODAY. SO, ONE THING THAT HASN'T
CHANGED IS DAVE MANAGES TO GET 
EVERYWHERE, I'M GLAD CORONAVIRUS
DOESN'T STOP YOU FROM DOING 
THAT. BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO OTHER
THINGS WHAT ELSE IS IT LIKE OUT 
THERE TODAY WERE THEY TAKING 
PRECAUTIONS WHERE THEY BEING 
CAREFUL BECAUSE OF COVID-19, IT 
IS SUCH A DIFFERENT DECISION BY 
REPUBLICANS TOGETHER THIS 
MORNING DIFFERENT THAN WHAT 
DEMOCRATS SHOW TO DO. 
>> THEY WERE CAREFUL, THERE WAS 
A COVID-19 TEST EVERYONE 
ENTERING THE SPACE HAD TO TAKE, 
THE REALLY INTENSE ONE, THE ONE 
THAT GOES BACK INTO HER SCHOOL. 
AND THAT WAS TAKEN ENTERING THE 
BUILDING REQUIRED WEARING A 
MASK, AND GETTING A HEAD 
THERMOMETER 
IT WAS
LOOSER INSIDE IN THE CONVENTION 
SPACE, THESE ARE ALL PEOPLE THAT
HAVE JUST BEEN TESTED BUT PEOPLE
WERE ROAMING FREELY AND THEY 
WERE OBSERVING THE SIGNS, THAT 
SAID DON'T GET WITHIN 60 DON'T 
HUG AND SHE CAN'T, I SAW 
HANDSHAKING BUT WHEN THE 
PRESIDENT ADDRESSED TO THE 
IN-PERSON CONVENTION THIS 
AFTERNOON, PEOPLE WHO HAD BEEN 
SITTING FAR APART IN CHAIRS THAT
WERE SOCIALLY DISTANCE RAN UP 
TO THE PRESIDENT TO BE CLOSE TO 
HIM. SO AGAIN I DIDN'T IN THAT 
ROOM TO FEEL LIKE IT WAS UNSAFE 
IF EVERYONE IN AMERICA WAS 
TAKING A COVID-19 TESTING GOING 
ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS 
QUARANTINING IF THEY WERE SICK 
IT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT 
CONVERSATION RIGHT NOW. 
>> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. 
>>> LET'S GO BACK TO JAMES 
HOHMANN,  DAVE MENTIONED ANDREW 
POLLACK'S FATHER A PARKLAND HIGH
SCHOOL VICTIM HE BLAMED 
DEMOCRATS AND RESTORATIVE 
JUSTICE FOR SCHOOL SHOOTINGS, 
AND HE REALLY WENT SPECIFICALLY 
AFTER HOW
CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM HAS IN 
HIS MIND, CAUSED SCHOOLS TO BE 
MORE DANGEROUS. 
>> YEAH, IT WAS QUITE A CONTRAST
TO FRED GUTTENBERG WHO ANNOUNCED
FLORIDA'S DELEGATES FOR BIDEN 
LAST WEEK WHO ALSO LOST A 
DAUGHTER THE EXACT SAME AGE, AND
HAS BECOME A CHAMPION FOR GUN 
CONTROL, THIS IS YOU KNOW, THIS 
IS BECOME A VERY PERTINENT 
ISSUE, THE POLITICS OF CHANGE 
DRAMATICALLY IT IS STRIKING THE 
MOVING SPEECH THE MAN WHO LOST 
HIS DAUGHTER, DIFFERENT 
THAN HOW IT WAS GUN VIOLENCE AND
GUN CONTROL, YOU KNOW TALKING 
ABOUT RESTORATIVE JUSTICE, 
POLICY. AS OPPOSED TO 4 YEARS 
AGO YOU KNOW WHERE IT WAS YOU 
KNOW DON'T TAKE OUR GUNS, FROM 
PULLED FROM HER HANDS, YOU HAVE 
THE 
NRA OFFICIALS CURRENTLY 
EMBATTLED SPEAKING DURING THE 
CONVENTION, THIS IS AN 
INCREDIBLY SYMPATHETIC VOICE, 
TALKING ABOUT IT IN A WAY THAT 
YOU KNOW, THAT WASN'T THE WAY 
THAT YOU NORMALLY HEAR 
REPUBLICANS TALK ABOUT GUN 
CONTROL. THERE 
WAS SOME SEWING OF FEAR IN THE 
MESSAGES TONIGHT, SPECIFICALLY 
FROM DONALD TRUMP JR. BUT ALSO, 
FROM THE COUPLE THAT WE TALKED 
ABOUT, WHO WERE YOU KNOW, 
DEMURELY ON THE COUCH TONIGHT, 
BUT WE ARE ALL SEEING REST OF 
AMERICA TOTING GUNS AND 
PROTESTERS WALKING BY THEIR 
HOUSE, TALK TO US ABOUT THE 
MESSAGES 
OF FEAR,
AND TALKING TO AMERICANS, WHO 
THAT MIGHT RESONATE WITH? 
>> THAT'S RIGHT, A SENSE OF FEAR
POLITICS IS CERTAINLY ON DISPLAY
DURING THIS LAST COUPLE OF 
HOURS, THE McCLOSKEY'S SAY 
THINGS LIKE THERE WILL BE 
ANARCHY IN THE STREETS, THERE IS
MOB VIOLENCE THAT COULD BE 
COMING YOUR WAY, IF WE DON'T 
HAVE A PRESIDENT TRUMP AGAIN. 
THERE ARE MANY TIMES THAT 
SPEAKERS TALKED ABOUT DEMOCRATS 
WANTING TO DEFUND THE POLICE. WE
HAVE TO REMEMBER THESE ARE VERY 
EFFECTIVE ATTEMPTS AND 
STRATEGIES THAT GETTING VOTERS. 
MANY, MANY POLITICIANS IN 
HISTORY, HAVE ONE OVER TOUGH ON 
CRIME PLATFORMS, AND THIS IS 
SOMETHING THAT WILL PLAY VERY 
WELL, IN PLACES THAT YOU SEE A 
LOT OF SUPPORT FOR TRUMP, OR 
EVEN SOME SUPPORT OF TRUMP, IF 
THEY ARE TOLD THAT ANARCHY WILL 
BE UNLEASHED IN THE STREETS, SO 
THAT WAS THE MESSAGE WE HEARD 
FROM THE McCLOSKEY'S WE ALSO 
HEARD IT FROM KIMBERLY 
GUILFOYLE,  THE GIRLFRIEND OF 
DON JUNIOR AS WELL AS A FOX 
HOST. SHE HAD A VERY ROBUST 
SPEECH AND TALKED ABOUT THE FEAR
AS WELL. THESE ARE STRATEGIES 
THAT CAN REALLY WORK IN MANY 
PLACES ACROSS AMERICA I WAS IN 
OHIO, MY HOME STATE A FEW WEEKS 
AGO AND THERE WERE MANY ADS 
PLAYING THERE IN HEAVY ROTATION 
THAT ARE FROM THE TRUMP 
CAMPAIGN. TALKING ABOUT THE FEAR
POLITICS. 
>>> WE HAVEN'T TALKED MUCH ABOUT
KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE, LET'S GO TO 
YOU 
JAMES HOHMANN, THAT GARNERS HER 
ATTENTION THAT GETS HER A LOT OF
PLAY IN CONVERSATION AND THAT IS
EXACTLY WHAT PRESIDENT DONALD 
TRUMP LIKES. 
>> IT IS WHAT HE LOVES. SHE IS  
YOU KNOW, IT DEFINITELY WAS A 
CAFFEINATED SPEECH THERE WAS AN 
INTENSITY TO IT, AND THERE 
DEFINITELY WAS
SOME KIND OF BUILDUP TO APPLAUSE
LINE TO SEE IF SHE COULD GET A 
REACTION FOR THE CIRCUIT, SHE'S 
ON THE CAMPAIGN'S PAYROLL, AND 
DON JUNIOR'S GIRLFRIEND BUT SHE 
KNOWS WHAT SHE'S DOING SHE KNOWS
SHE WAS CREATING VIRAL MOMENTS. 
IT WAS YOU KNOW, VERY STRATEGIC 
TO SAY THE BEST IS YET TO COME, 
HER EX-HUSBAND IS CALIFORNIA 
GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM, SO SHE 
KNEW THAT MY ATTACKING 
CALIFORNIA, AS A STATE AND ITS 
LEADERSHIP, AND TALKING ABOUT 
HEROIN NEEDLES EVERYWHERE, THAT 
SHE WAS CREATING A VIRAL 
SENSATION THE PEOPLE WILL TALK 
ABOUT TOMORROW. IT WAS VERY IN 
KEEPING WITH HER PERSONALITY, 
THAT IS HOW SHE WAS AS AN ANCHOR
ON FOX, BEFORE SHE LEFT TO FOCUS
FULL-TIME ON THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN.
>> SO, SOME OF THE THEMES THAT 
WERE REPEATED THROUGHOUT 
TONIGHT, REALLY DO RESONATE WITH
SOME 
AMERICANS, AND IF YOU HAVEN'T 
HEARD SOME OF THE SPEAKERS 
TALKED BEFORE, IF YOU HAVEN'T 
PAID ATTENTION YOU MIGHT HAVE 
BEEN SURPRISED THAT THE TONE, 
THE FEAR STROKING THAT THEY WERE
DOING. I WANT TO TALK TO YOU 
ABOUT WHO
THE RNC IS REACHING OUT TO AND 
WHO ARE THEY TRYING TO MOTIVATE 
AND ACTIVATE RIGHT NOW? 
>> THE RESONATE WITH SOME 
AMERICANS, THAT IS TRUE AND THAT
HAS BEEN THE PROBLEM, THE WAY 
THE PRESIDENT TALKS, THE WAY 
THAT THEY TALK ABOUT THE 
ELECTION, IS THROUGH PASSIONATE 
SUPPORT THROUGH BASE OF VOTERS, 
AND THROUGH PEOPLE WRITING THEIR
VOTES ON THE WEEKEND WITH TRUMP 
LIVES, ON 
THEM IN FLOTILLAS WHICH IS FINE,
THOSE PEOPLE SHOULD VOTE FOR 
YOU, BUT THE DEMOCRATIC 
CONVENTION WAS WHAT LEANED INTO 
A LOT OF IT, THE CULTURAL 
EMPHASIZED A LOT OF 
ISSUES LIKE BEAUTY RIGHTS, 
THINGS THAT MAYBE 10 YEARS AGO 
THE PARTY WOULDN'T HAVE TALKED 
ABOUT, IT DID FOCUS ON OUTREACH 
AND THE IDEA, I REMEMBER THE 
SPEECH ABOUT WORKING WITH JOE 
BIDEN AND YOU CAN TRUST IF 
YOU'RE REPUBLICAN YOU CAN TAKE A
CHANCE ON HIM, NONE OF THAT 
TONIGHT YOU GOT IF YOU ARE A 
SKEPTICAL VOTER OR A DEMOCRAT, 
TRUMP HAS SOMETHING TO OFFER YOU
WAS VERNON JONES, AND SOMEONE 
WHO NOTORIOUSLY THE DEMOCRATIC 
LEGISLATURE MORE ON THE IDEA 
THAT DEMOCRATS WIN THE BLACK 
VOTE BECAUSE THEY KEEP BLACK 
PEOPLE 
ON THE PLANTATION WHERE THEY 
CAN'T THINK FREELY, THAT HAS 
BEEN A MESSAGE 
FOR DECADES
IT RESONATES WITH SOME PEOPLE, 
BUT THIS CONVENTION THE PARTY IS
GOING INTO A 41-42% OF THE VOTE.
NOW IF YOU'RE NOT A NORMAL FOX 
NEWS WATCHER MAYBE YOU HAVEN'T 
HEARD THE SPECIFICALLY BUT THESE
ARE ALL VERY COMFORTABLE TOPICS 
THAT THE PARTY TALKS ABOUT, THAT
THEY HAVE NOT GOTTEN IT ABOVE 
THE LOW 40s BEFORE. 
>> DAVE, YOU KNOW YOU MENTIONED 
VERNON JONES CAN YOU TELL US 
MORE ABOUT HIM, FOR THOSE THAT 
HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT HIM BECAUSE 
THAT WAS THE MOMENT THE 
REPUBLICANS WERE TRYING TO 
COUNTER WITH, PRESIDENT TRUMP. 
>> WELL, JOE, HAS BEEN IN 
POLITICS FOR TWO DECADES HE'S A 
STATE LEGISLATOR AND HAS BEEN A 
CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE,
HE IS VOTED FOR GEORGE BUSH 
BOTH TIMES. HE RAN FOR SENATE IN
2008, AND RAN AS AN ALLY OF 
BARACK OBAMA, BARACK OBAMA 
ACTUALLY NOT DENOUNCED HIM IN 
THE MOST PASSIONATE TERMS BUT 
SAID IT CLEARLY THIS IS NOT MY 
CANDIDATE, SO JOHNS LOST THAT 
RACE, HE RETURNED TO POLITICS 
AND 
HE IS ROASTED REPUBLICANS ON A 
LOT OF THINGS HE'S BASICALLY 
WITHIN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, 
BUT VOTES IN MOST WAYS LIKE A 
REPUBLICAN CONSERVATIVE, AND HE 
HAS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR A WHILE, 
AND YOU SEE WITH THE PRESIDENT, 
IN THE SEGMENTS HE WAS HOSTING 
HIS SELF, HE LIKES TO 
ELEVATE PEOPLE WHO HAVE A 
PASSIONATE STORY TO TELL BUT 
OFTEN WHO AGREE WITH HIM 100%. 
SO HE WAS DOING THAT, IT WAS 
VERY DIFFERENT 
IN TONE, THEN THE FREQUENT 
REPUBLICAN GUESTS OF THE 
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION, SO MUCH 
THAT IT WAS A SOURCE OF 
COMPLAINT ON THE LEFT. I DON'T 
THINK THERE WAS A SINGLE 
REPUBLICAN 
SPEECH AND BIDEN'S FAVOR THAT 
THAT I LEFT THE PARTY BECAUSE 
THEY TREATED ME LIKE I DON'T 
HAVE A BRAIN OF MY OWN, THEY 
SAID I LEFT THE PARTY BECAUSE I 
TRUST JOE BIDEN. AND BECAUSE HE 
WILL GOVERN FOR YOU, AS IF YOU 
DON'T SCREW WITH HIM. WHICH WAS 
DIFFERENT THAN THE TONE WE SAW 
TONIGHT. LET'S GO ROUND BACK TO 
RHONDA COLVIN, WE DID SEE THE 
PRESIDENT WE WERE WONDERING WHAT
FORM HIS  PARTS OF TONIGHT WOULD
TAKE TRADITIONALLY, BACK IN THE 
WAY IT USED TO BE YOU DON'T SEE 
MUCH OF THE CANDIDATE UNTIL THE 
BIG 
FINAL REVEAL. BUT JOE BIDEN AND 
DONALD TRUMP HAS DONE AWAY WITH 
THAT, TELL US WHAT WE SAW FROM 
DONALD TRUMP TONIGHT. 
>> THE APPEARANCES FROM DONALD 
TRUMP, THEY WERE VERY 
REMINISCENT OF LAST WEEK WHEN 
JOE BIDEN VISITED VIRTUALLY, 
WITH PEOPLE, AND THEY TOLD THEM,
HIS EXPERIENCE, WITH CERTAIN 
POLICIES, OR THEY WERE 
GOING THROUGH. THAT TIMES THAT 
WE SAW PRESIDENT TRUMP TONIGHT, 
DIDN'T STAND OUT TO ME BECAUSE 
THEY WERE TRYING TO ADDRESS THE 
CHARACTER ISSUE THE DEMOCRATS 
LAST WEEK WERE 
SAYING, THAT TRUMP DOESN'T HAVE 
THE TEMPERAMENT TO BE PRESIDENT.
JOE BIDEN DOES, IF YOU NOTICE IN
THE SEGMENTS WHERE DONALD TRUMP 
WAS SITTING, WITH FRONT-LINE 
WORKERS IN THE BEGINNING OF THE 
PROGRAM, HE WAS VERY MEASURED, 
VERY CALM, VERY CARING AND THIS 
IS NOT THE BRAND WE MAY KNOW HIM
AS PRESIDENT, OR EVEN 
BEFORE PRESIDENT
WHEN HE WAS ON THE APPRENTICE I 
DON'T KNOW IF THERE WERE MANY 
EPISODES WHERE HE CAME ACROSS 
THAT SAME WAY. BUT HE WAS 
TALKING TO FRONT-LINE WORKERS, 
POSTAL WORKERS, NURSE, A WOMAN 
WHO HAD SURVIVED COVID 19 AND HE
WAS ASKING ABOUT THEIR 
SITUATION, AND IT WAS DEFINITELY
A DIFFERENT DONALD TRUMP, AND HE
SAW IT AGAIN LATER ON IN THE 
PROGRAM WHEN HE MET WITH 
HOSTAGES WHO HAD BEEN RELEASED 
UNDER THE ADMINISTRATION. I 
THINK BECAUSE THEY RNC, WAS 
TRYING TO COME ACROSS TONIGHT, 
AND ATTACK THE CRITICISMS FROM 
DEMOCRATS THAT HE DOESN'T HAVE A
CHARACTER. 
>> THEY ALSO HAVE TESTIMONIES BY
OTHER PEOPLE 
INCLUDING CONGRESSMAN 
STEVE SCALISE, MOMENTS THEY FELT
THAT TRUMP WAS BEING 
USED EMPATHETIC.
JIM JORDAN SAID HE WAS VERY 
MEASURED HE WAS NOT THE JIM 
JORDAN I HAVE SEEN IN THE HILL, 
IN THE HIGH-PROFILE HEARINGS, HE
TALKED ABOUT HE LOST A FAMILY 
MEMBER A FEW WEEKS BACK AND HE 
WAS ON THE PHONE WITH THE 
PRESIDENT AND THE PRESIDENT TOLD
HIM HIS CONDOLENCES AND 
MENTIONED JORDAN PASS THE PHONE 
ALONG TO HIS RELATIVES, WHO LOST
THE SUN. AND HE SAID THAT AS A 
SIGN OF DONALD TRUMP THE PEOPLE 
DON'T GET TO SEE, AND THAT IS 
WHY JIM JORDAN AND OTHERS ARE 
TRYING TO GET HIM REELECTED 
BECAUSE THERE IS A SOFTER SIDE. 
SO THOSE WERE DEFINITELY 
STANDOUT MOMENTS, I THOUGHT WE 
WOULD SEE FROM SOMEONE LIKE JIM 
JORDAN, A VERY PASSIONATE TAPED 
SEGMENT ABOUT THE PRESIDENT, BUT
IT WAS REALLY TRYING TO STRIKE A
CHORD, ABOUT THE PRESIDENT 
CHARACTER, THE PEOPLE DON'T 
OFTEN SEE. A MAC LET'S TALK 
ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE, 
THIS IDEA THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO
PAINT PRESIDENT TRUMP OF HAVING 
A SOFT SIDE AND A CARING SIDE. 
THE LOGIC AND STRATEGY BEHIND 
THAT, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS 
QUESTION MARK 
>> IT WAS FUNNY BECAUSE 
SOMETIMES IT WAS VERY OBVIOUS 
WHAT THEY WERE DOING. THE WORDS 
THAT COMES UP IN FOCUS GROUPS, 
BASED ON MY REPORTING, 
REPUBLICAN STRATEGIST, 
CONSULTING WITH THE DRUM 
CAMPAIGN. THERE IS THIS SENSE 
THAT KIND OF TRUMP MAY BE A GOOD
ECONOMIC STEWARD, HE MAY BE A 
GOOD CEO, BUT HE DOESN'T FEEL MY
PAIN HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT 
PEOPLE LIKE ME, AND SO THAT WAS 
ONE OF THE WORDS YOU HEARD OVER 
AND OVER AGAIN, WHICH WE SAW 
DURING THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
IS THE PRESIDENT KARAS HE CARES 
ABOUT YOU, HE CARES ABOUT ME, HE
CARE DURING MY HOUR OF NEED, HE 
CARES ABOUT AFRICAN-AMERICANS, 
THAT WAS THE WORD THAT CAME UP 
OVER AND OVER AGAIN, AND IT IS 
THEM TRYING TO DEAL WITH WHAT 
THEIR FOCUS GROUPS SHOW IS A 
REAL LIABILITY FOR THE 
PRESIDENT. 
>> I'M
GLAD THAT RHONDA BROUGHT UP THE 
COMPARISON ABOUT WHAT PRESIDENT 
TRUMP DID AND WHAT PRESIDENT 
BIDEN DID LAST WEEK, WITH THOSE 
GROUPS. AND SHE POINTED OUT THAT
WHEN JOE BIDEN DID AND THEY WERE
SOCIALLY DISTANCE BASICALLY, HE 
WAS TALKING TO PANELS AND 
SCREENS, AND IT WENT SMOOTHLY 
AND IT WAS WELL ORCHESTRATED, IT
WASN'T AWKWARD, AND THE 
DELIVERY, BUT JAMES TONIGHT 
PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS MEETING IN 
PERSON, WITH PEOPLE, WHAT 
MESSAGE IS ASCENDING BY YOU, NOT
WEARING A MASK, NOT SOCIAL 
DISTANCING QUESTION MARK 
>> YOU KNOW BIDEN HAS BEEN DOING
THOSE KINDS OF EVENTS, 
ROUNDTABLES INTERSPERSED 
THROUGHOUT THE DEMOCRATIC 
CONVENTION, I'VE DOESN'T EVERY 
TUESDAY FOR MONTHS. HE WAS DOING
THOSE KIND OF 
VIDEOS SETUPS.
AND THAT IS NOT WHAT TRUMP HAS 
BEEN DOING IT ALL, HE'S BEEN 
TRAVELING AROUND HE WAS IN 
CHARLOTTE TODAY, DAVE SAID, AND 
SO HE VERY MUCH WANTS TO PROJECT
A SENSE OF NORMALCY AND SENSE 
THAT THINGS ARE UNDER CONTROL. 
AND HE DOESN'T LIKE THE OPTICS 
OF SOCIAL DISTANCING. AND YOU 
KNOW, THAT WAS KIND OF THE WAY 
THAT EVERYONE WAS GROUPED 
TOGETHER I ASSUMED, WHAT THEY 
WOULD 
TELL YOU THOSE PEOPLE HAD TAKEN 
THE INSTANT COVID-19 TEST, THOSE
TESTS ARE IMPERFECT. THE INSTANT
TESTS AREN'T AS 
RELIABLE, AS THE ONES THEY PUT 
UP TOWARDS YOUR BRAIN. BUT, IT 
IS ABOUT OPTICS AND WITH THE 
PRESIDENT IS TRYING TO PROJECT 
TO 
THE COUNTRY WHICH IS THAT LIFE 
CAN GO ON AND THINGS WILL GET 
BETTER. 
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THE OPTICS, 
HE WAS TALKING TO FRIENDLY 
WORKERS AND HEALTH CARE 
PROVIDERS, AND USUALLY, WHEN I 
TALKED TO HEALTH CARE WORKERS IN
FRONT LINE WORKERS THEY WANT TO 
WEAR A MASK AND TAKE 
PRECAUTIONS, JUST TO MAKE THE 
POINT THAT WE ALL SHOULD BE 
DOING IT. 
>> AND THAT IS FOR BIDEN, 
YOU KNOW,
IT IS ABOUT SIGNALING VIRTUAL 
SIGNALING, MIGHT BE ONE WAY TO 
PUT IT, BUT SENDING BIDEN WOULD 
SAY LEADERSHIP, THAT IS WHAT THE
PRESIDENT SHOULD BE DOING. AND 
SO YOU WILL SEE BIDEN EVEN WHEN 
NO ONE IS AROUND, WEARING A MASK
DRAPED OVER HIS EAR, AND ABOUT 
PROJECTING LOOK, YOU SHOULD BE 
WEARING A MASK, AND THAT IS A 
7525 ISSUE, IN OUR POLLING. AND,
TRUMP JUST HAS NOT GOTTEN ON 
BOARD BECAUSE IT IS A 75-25 
ISSUE, 75% THINK THERE SHOULD 
BE A MASK MANDATE THE PRESIDENT 
HAS BEEN PRODDED TO SAY YOU 
SHOULD WEAR MASKS, HE'S WON A 
MASK A COUPLE OF TIMES. BUT HIS 
HEART IS NOT IN IT, HE WANTS TO 
PROJECT THAT THIS IS BUSINESS AS
USUAL. 
>> THE 10:00 HOUR HERE ON THE 
EAST COAST STARTED WITH VIDEO, 
OF HOSTAGES THAT HAVE BEEN FREED
DURING THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION 
10:00 SIGNIFICANT, WHEN THE 
MAJOR NETWORKS ARE CARRYING 
THIS CONVENTION. THEN WE SAW THE
PRESIDENT MEETING WITH SOME OF 
THOSE PEOPLE WHO WERE 
FREED, BUT, IT SORT OF OFTEN THE
CASE, HE DID A LOT OF THE 
TALKING. 
>> HE DID, NO I THOUGHT 
THE SECOND
HE WAS TALKING TO PEOPLE, WITH 
THE EXCEPTIONS I WILL GET INTO, 
I THOUGHT THEY WERE MORE 
EFFECTIVE THAN SOME OF THE STUFF
THAT I HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING. THE
CRITICISM OF JOE BIDEN AND A 
DIFFERENT PERSON THAN JOE BIDEN.
I THINK THEIR EFFECTIVENESS 
BECAUSE THEY DID SHOW, TANGIBLE 
RESULTS, THE POLICIES WHEN NIKKI
HALEY TALKED ABOUT THE SKILLED 
NORTH KOREA, AS HARD AS 
AMERICANS TO NOTICE WHAT THE 
RELATIONSHIP IS BEEN NOW, IT IS 
HARD NOT TO NOTICE SOMEBODY WHO 
WAS A HOSTAGE IN VENEZUELA AND 
IS NOW FREE. BUT, THE HOSTAGE 
THING I FELT WAS MORE EFFECTIVE,
THE RESPONSE WAS OFTEN ABOUT 
HIM. BUT 
THE DIFFERENCE
, WITH THE BIDEN APPEARANCES, 
THIS WAS CALCULATED BY DEMOCRATS
BUT I THINK THIS ALSO REFLECTS 
THE WAY BIDEN TALKS, AND REACTS,
IS BIDEN WAS JUST LISTENING TO 
PEOPLE AND COMMENTING AT ASKING 
QUESTIONS, WHEREAS THE TRUMP 
REAL PEOPLE SEGMENTS, 
WERE ABOUT IN THE END PEOPLE 
PRAISING THE PRESIDENT FOR 
ACTING, AND LOOK HE'S BECOMING 
PRESIDENT SO IT'S GOING TO BE A 
DIFFERENT FRAME BUT IT WAS 
HANDLED DIFFERENTLY THAN THE WAY
DEMOCRATS THINK THEY NEED TO 
PRESENT. 
>> TRUMP WILL DEFEAT VIOLENCE IN
OUR STREETS. LET'S TALK ABOUT 
THIS. 
>> RIGHT, WELL, I WAS CURIOUS 
BECAUSE I KEPT HEARING BOTH 
TODAY IN CHARLOTTE, AND THEN 
INTO SPEECHES TONIGHT ABOUT 
UNREST, AND WHEN YOU'RE TALKING 
ABOUT YOU NEED TO BE CAREFUL, 
THERE HAVE BEEN TONS OF PEACEFUL
PROTESTS, THEY 
ARE DEFINING
BLACK LIVES MATTER AND WHY IT IS
POPULAR FOR THE FIRST TIME. 
THERE HAS ALSO BEEN OUTBREAKS OF
LOOTING, PROPERTY DAMAGE, THAT 
IS BEEN WELL COVERED. SO, 
MULTIPLE SPEECHES FOCUSED ON 
THAT, DONALD TRUMP JR. AND OTHER
PEOPLE SAYING THAT IS WHAT 
DEMOCRATS WANT AND THEY GOVERN. 
I WENT BACK AND TRACKED THE RNC 
SPEECH IN 2016, WAS REFERRING TO
THE SAME STUFF SAYING IF HE IS 
ELECTED HE'S GOING TO FIX IT. 
AND THERE WAS NOT AS MUCH FOR 
UNREST, THERE WAS SOMETIMES 
TRUMP RALLIES PROTESTERS 
OUTSIDE, BROKE OUT INSIDE THE 
RALLIES. BUT LESS THAN WE SAW 
THIS SUMMER, AND IT WAS I THINK,
EVOKING THIS TRUMP PROBLEM 
WHICH IS RUNNING AS AN INCUMBENT
PRESIDENT AND INSISTING IF THERE
IS SOMETHING WRONG RIGHT NOW 
DEMOCRATS DID THAT, AND JOE 
BIDEN CAN'T FIX IT IF THERE IS 
STUFF RIGHT, HE FIXED IT AND JOE
BIDEN WOULD WRECK IT. DOING BOTH
OF THOSE THINGS AT ONCE IS 
TRICKY, GEORGE W. BUSH COULD DO 
SOME OF THIS WHEN HE'S RUNNING, 
BUT THE 
MOOD AROUND WHERE PEOPLE ARE 
AGAINST, THIS IS NOT A PRESIDENT
WHO HAS BUNDLED, NOT 
QUITE YET,
BUT THERE WAS NOT AS MUCH 
POSITIVE STUFF ABOUT THE 
PRESIDENT INTERMINGLED WITH WHAT
YOU HEARD ABOUT JOE BIDEN. 
>> LET'S GO TO JAMES TILLMAN FOR
MORE OF THE POSITIVE MESSAGE. 
JAMES, WHAT DID YOU HEAR ABOUT 
WHAT THE PRESIDENT WOULD DO IN 
THE EYES OF THE REPUBLICANS. 
>> HE IS RESTORING HOPE THAT 
HE'S GOING TO CREATE JOBS AND 
LEAVE THE ECONOMIC COMEBACKS, 
ONE OF THE THINGS HE KEPT SAYING
OVER AND OVER WAS PULLING BY THE
FOCUS GROUPS AND THEIR MESSAGING
ABOUT HOW THEY CAN REACH 
INDEPENDENCE IN OUR POLLING LAST
WEEK, TRUMP ACTUALLY 
STILL HAS DECIDED TO IS BEST TO 
GET THE ECONOMY BACK, BIDEN HAS 
A BIG ADVANTAGE ON WHO IS BETTER
TO HANDLE THE CORONAVIRUS 
ITSELF. ON THE ECONOMY THE 
ADVANCE GOES TO TRUMP, AND THEY 
PLAY TO THAT. ONE OF THE TALKING
POINTS YOU HEARD OVER AND OVER 
AGAIN TONIGHT, IS THE ECONOMY IS
GOING GANGBUSTERS IT WAS FIRING 
ON ALL CYLINDERS, UNTIL THE 
VIRUS CAME TO AMERICA, THEY EVEN
TALKED ABOUT HOW DON JUNIOR 
SAID IT CAME FROM THE COMMUNIST 
PARTY. THAT IS NOT TRUE. THE 
RECESSION OFFICIALLY BEGAN IN 
FEBRUARY, BEFORE 
THE PANDEMIC. IN THE AMERICAN 
ECONOMY HAD BEEN SLOWING DOWN 
AND WE HAVE THIS DECADE OF 
UNINTERRUPTED GROWTH COMING OUT 
OF THE GREAT RECESSION. BUT, 
THEY WERE TRYING VERY MUCH 
TONIGHT, TO SAY 
YOU KNOW, THE ECONOMY WAS GOOD 
BEFORE AND IT WILL BE GOOD ONCE 
WE GET THE VIRUS PACKED UP. AND,
TRYING TO EMPHASIZE HOW GOOD 
THINGS MIGHT'VE FELL TO PEOPLE 
BEFORE THE PANDEMIC, BECAUSE 
THAT IS REALLY 
THEIR PASS
TO VICTORY. MacRODANTIN THAT WE 
HEARD FROM RHONDA McDANIEL THE 
CHAIR OF THE RNC, LET'S GO TO 
RHONDA COLVIN WITH HER MESSAGE 
FOR PORTRAYING HERSELF AS A 
REGULAR HARD-WORKING MOM, WANDA,
AND TALKING ABOUT HER ROLE AS A 
TRAILBLAZER AMONG REPUBLICAN 
WOMEN. 
>> THAT'S RIGHT, SHE ALSO HAD A 
LINE VERY EARLY IN HER SPEECH 
WHERE SHE SAID SHE WAS CHOSEN 
FOR HER JOB NOT BECAUSE SHE WAS 
A WOMAN LIKE BIDEN CHOSE KAMALA 
HARRIS BUT THAT SHE HAD THE 
CREDENTIALS. TO BE A LEADER, SO 
SHE HAD A DIG READY IN THE FIRST
FEW MINUTES OF HER SPEECH, SHE 
HAS BEEN 
THE LEADER
THROUGH ALL OF THIS. SHE DID 
SOME CABLE INTERVIEWS OVER THE 
WEEKEND, AND SHE TALKED ABOUT 
HOW SHE WANTED TO HAVE AN RNC 
THAT SHOWS PEOPLE THEY CAN LIVE 
THEIR LIVES, SHE'S VERY ATTACHED
TO THE REPUBLICAN MESSAGE. AND 
SHE HAS BEEN A SUPPORTER OF THE 
PRESIDENT AS WELL. SO I THINK 
YOU KNOW, SHE DIDN'T SPEAK VERY 
LONG I LOOKED AT THE TIMING IT 
WAS LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES, BUT 
SHE REALLY WANTED TO BRING 
ACROSS THAT SHE WAS A REPUBLICAN
WOMAN WHO IS LEADING THE WAY, 
AND WITH ALL OF THE TALK LAST 
WEEK OF KAMALA HARRIS MAKING 
HISTORY I THINK THAT WAS AN 
ATTEMPT BY HER TO SHOW THAT THEY
HAVE FEMALE LEADERS TWO. 
>> USING THE NAME HOUSEWIFE FOR 
THE WORD HOUSEWIFE IN THE WAY 
THAT SHE TOOK PRIDE IN, YOU KNOW
WE SAW PRESIDENT TRUMP TWEETING 
ABOUT HOUSEWIVES IN A TWEET THAT
SOUNDED TONE DEAF, FROM ANOTHER 
TIME OR SOMETHING BUT HERE SHE 
WAS, PUTTING THAT TITLE ON 
HERSELF. 
>> THAT'S RIGHT, AND THAT COULD 
BE YOU KNOW, THE BRIEF ATTEMPT 
TO ATTRACT FEMALE VOTERS. THIS 
IS AN APPEAL TO THOSE FEMALE 
VOTERS, IT MATCHES PRESIDENT 
TRUMP'S RHETORIC, THEY'VE BEEN 
TALKING ABOUT SUBURBAN WOMEN AND
PROTECTING THE SUBURBS FROM 
PEOPLE, COMING IN FROM THE INNER
CITIES, OR OUTSIDE OF THE 
SUBURBS, SO I THINK 
IT IS
SOMETHING SHE IS MATCHING THAT 
THE PRESIDENT HAD ALREADY. 
>> THERE IS A DOG WHISTLE WHEN 
WE TALK ABOUT THE SUBURBS AND 
KEEPING HOUSEWIVES SAFE, AND 
TALKING ABOUT URBAN AMERICA. YOU
KNOW, IS THERE A DANGER IN 
OVERPLAYING THAT TONIGHT IN 
TERMS OF TURNING PEOPLE OFF? 
>> WELL, THE DANGER OF SOME 
CLASHING, I MEAN AGAIN, IT IS 
FEARED VERY JAGGED LAY BETWEEN 
TIM SCOTT SAYING JOE BIDEN AND 
OTHER 
PEOPLE, RESPONSIBLE FOR POLICIES
THAT WERE TOO TOUGH ON CRIME, 
WERE GOING TO HEAR MORE OF THAT 
A LITTLE LATER IN THE WEEK. 
AND THEN INSISTENT HE WAS GOING 
TO MAKE CITIES LESS SAFE, YOU 
SAW THEM USE, THEY DIDN'T 
MENTION BY NAME, BUT THEY WERE 
REFERRING TWICE TO CORY BUSCH, 
WHO HAS BEEN NOMINATED IN ST. 
LOUIS, TO REPRESENT THEM 
LITERALLY IN CONGRESS, AND SHE 
WAS SUPPOSED 
TO PERSONIFY THE THREATENING 
THINGS COMING TO THE SUBURBS, OR
GOING TO GOVERN IN WASHINGTON, 
BUT JOE BIDEN GOT IN THE WAY. 
IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE LABORED 
AND THEY'RE TRYING TO MAKE THE 
ARGUMENT FOR HILLARY CLINTON I'M
ANTI-VOTE JOE BIDEN IN AN 
ARGUMENT. THE SEPARATION, AND 
IT'S NOT 
PRODUCTIVE AGAIN, BOTH PARTIES 
NOTICE WHEN YOU'RE MAKING 
SOMETHING UP WITH THE PARTIES 
TRYING TO PRESENT AN IMAGE THAT 
IS NOT CREDIBLE. I DON'T THINK 
IT WOULD 
LOOK TERRIBLY
CREDIBLE IF REPUBLICANS WERE NOT
TALKING LIKE THIS BECAUSE THIS 
IS HOW THE PRESIDENT TALKS, THIS
IS HOW THEY TALK ABOUT DEMOCRATS
BEING WE, ETC. SO THE PRESIDENT 
IN DOING THAT HAS NOT REACHED 
PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE HIM 
ALREADY, HE HAS LOW PEOPLE 
RATINGS, AND I WANT TO SEE THE 
MOMENTS TONIGHT, THE PEOPLE 
MIGHT FOCUS A BIT MORE ON, LIKE 
TIM SCOTT, LIKE KIMBERLY 
GUILFOYLE STOCK, BECAUSE TRUMP 
IS GOING TO HIGHLIGHT THEM. BUT 
THE ONES IN PRIMETIME THAT SHIFT
THE MESSAGE TO SOMETHING AS MORE
ELECTABLE. THAT DEPENDS ON THE 
PROGRAMMING FOR THE WEEK. 
>> LET'S GO BACK TO JOYCE KOH 
JOINING 
US  FROM IN FRONT OF THE WHITE 
HOUSE. WHAT SHOULD WE EXPECT FOR
TOMORROW NIGHT. 
>> THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL 
CONVENTION HAS SAID TOMORROW'S 
THEME IS THE LAND OF 
OPPORTUNITIES WE SHOULD BE 
HEARING FROM FIRST LADY MELANIA 
TRUMP FROM THE ROSE GARDEN, AND 
SECRETARY 
OF STATE MIKE POMPEO, HE WILL BE
SPEAKING SENATOR RAND PAUL, OF 
KENTUCKY WILL BE SPEAKING AS 
WELL AND TRUMPS TWO CHILDREN 
ERIC TRUMP, AND TIFFANY TRUMP 
WILL ALSO 
BE ADDRESSING THE RNC TOMORROW 
NIGHT. AND I THINK SOME OF THE 
TOPICS THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO 
HEAR, NOT JUST 
TOMORROW BUT GOING FORWARD 
THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE WEEK 
WE WILL PROBABLY HEAR MORE ABOUT
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S RESPONSE TO 
THE CORONAVIRUS I ASSUME WE WILL
HEAR MORE ABOUT 
THESE ANTI-BIDEN SPEECHES 
TALKING ABOUT HIM AS A 
SOCIALIST, AND I ALSO THINK YOU 
KNOW WE WILL HEAR MORE FOR 
PEOPLE REALLY DEFENDING 
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS NOT A 
RACIST AND PAINTING THEM TO BE 
MORE EMPATHETIC MAY BE MORE 
PERSONAL ANTIDOTES, THAT WE 
COULD HEAR TOMORROW, AND MOVING 
FORWARD INTO THE REST OF THE 
WEEK, LIBBY, THANK 
YOU. 
>> JAMES HOHMANN, LET'S TALK 
ABOUT PROGRAMMING A LITTLE BIT. 
IT ENDED BEFORE 11:00, SEVEN OR 
EIGHT MINUTES EARLY,  TOO MANY 
BROADCASTERS FEELS LIKE A WASTED
OPPORTUNITY AND TIME BECAUSE YOU
HAVE 
THIS VALUABLE REAL ESTATE YOU'VE
GOT FROM THE NETWORKS AND 
EVERYONE TO HAVE THE EYEBALLS. 
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS, AND HOW 
THE NIGHT WENT IN TERMS OF 
ORDERLINESS, 
AND HAVING SORT OF A SMOOTH 
PROGRAM FOR THE OPTICS OF 
THINGS. 
>> THEY KEPT THE TRAINS RUNNING 
ON TIME, THE RUNDOWN FROM THE 
REPUBLICAN SAID IT WAS WRAP UP 
AT 10:53. AND IT DID. IT WAS 
SORT OF AMAZING THAT THEY WERE 
ABLE TO STAY AS ON SCHEDULE AS 
THEY 
WERE, CONSIDERING YOU KNOW, SOME
OF THE LIGHT ELEMENTS BUT THAT 
IS ONE OF THE ADVANTAGES OF 
HAVING A LOT OF PRETAPED CONTENT
WHICH THEY DID, AND THE IRONY IS
THE PRESIDENT 
ATTACKED THE PRETAPED CONTENT 
LAST WEEK. THEY STARTED A HALF 
HOUR EARLIER THAN DEMOCRATS DID,
SO THEY ENDED UP HAVING KIND OF 
A LONGER PROGRAMMING BY 23 
MINUTES. YOU'RE RIGHT, THE TIME 
IS AT THE END OF THE NETWORK 
NEWS, THAT HOUR THAT THEY GOT, 
MAYBE 
THEY FIGURED I SORT OF THOUGHT 
THERE WAS SOME CHANCE TRUMP 
WOULD MAKE A SURPRISE APPEARANCE
AND JUMP IN A 
THIRD TIME.
AND MAYBE THEY WILL STILL DO 
SOME SURPRISES LIKE THAT, BUT 
THERE WERE A LOT OF SHOCKING 
THINGS ABOUT TONIGHT'S PROGRAMS,
IT WAS SORT OF TO BE EXPECTED, 
IT LOOKED LIKE THE REPUBLICAN 
OFFICIALS DURING A CONFERENCE 
CALL, WITH US EARLIER TODAY. SO,
I WAS SURPRISED THEY WERE ABLE 
TO KEEP THE TRAINS RUNNING ON 
TIME. 
>> WRAP US UP HERE, WHAT SHOULD 
WE BE LISTENING FOR 
THIS WEEK? 
>> Reporter: I WANT TO SEE WHERE
ELSE THEY TAKE THE CRITIQUE OF 
JOE BIDEN IF IT GETS ANY MORE 
COHERENT, AND THERE ARE ANY MORE
REFERENCES ON WHAT THE CAMPAIGNS
ARE, IT WAS A 
MIX MATCH, WHAT IS LEAVING INTO 
INCOMPETENCE. 
>> ARE YOU STAYING IN DC THE 
REST OF THE WEEK OR ARE YOU 
GOING TO HAVE TO GET A TRACKER 
PUT ON YOU? 
>> I'M STAYING IN DC, I DON'T 
WANT TO DO THAT AGAIN FOR A 
WHILE. ALL OF THE 
CONVENTION UNFOLDS,
WE WILL BE HERE FOR THE REST OF 
THE WEEK, THIS OFFICIALLY WRAPS 
UP A NIGHT OF POLITICAL JAZZ AND
THE FIGHT FOR AMERICA'S FUTURE, 
TONIGHT IS THE FIRST LADY ON 
YOUR TRUMP BIG NIGHT, WE WILL 
SEE YOU RIGHT BAKULA COVERAGE 
BEGINS TOMORROW AT 7:30 EASTERN 
TIME AND THANK YOU FOR WATCHING 
AND SUPPORTING THE NEWSROOM, ON 
"THE WASHINGTON POST," THANK YOU
SO MUCH TO ALL OF MY 
GUESS, GUESTS HAVE A 
GOOD NIGHT.
