O'Donnell: PRESIDENT.
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS THE LAW
AND ORDER PRESIDENT.
I'M A POSTAL WORKER.
WE'RE TAKING GOOD CARE OF OUR
POSTAL WORKERS.
ABSOLUTELY.
THAT I CAN TELL YOU.
HE TOOK ACTION, HE FORMED A
SCHOOL SAFETY COMMISSION THAT
ISSUED DOZENS OF RECOMMENDATIONS
TO MAKE SCHOOLS SAFER.
IT HURT MY SOUL.
THE WORST ONE IS RACIST.
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS BRINGING
THIS COUNTRY BACK ROARING, HE'S
BRINGING THE AMERICAN SPIRIT TO
LIFE.
WE ARE MAKING AMERICA GREAT
AGAIN AND WITH YOUR VOTE, IN
2020, WE WILL KEEP AMERICA
GREAT!
O'Donnell: GOOD EVENING.
WE ARE 71 DAYS FROM ELECTION DAY
AND TONIGHT THE REPUBLICANS
BEGIN PRESENTING THEIR CASE FOR
GIVING DONALD TRUMP FOUR MORE
YEARS AS PRESIDENT.
I'M NORAH O'DONNELL IN THE
NATION'S COP TOLL AND WELCOME TO
CBS NEWS COVERAGE.
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION.
THIS CONVENTION WILL LOOK
DIFFERENT THAN YEARS BEFORE.
PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL NOT HAVE
THE PACKED ARENA NOR THE
BOISTEROUS CROWDS HE ENJOYS.
MANY OF THE SPEECHES WILL BE
FROM AN AUDITORIUM HERE IN
WASHINGTON.
BUT EARLIER TODAY A FEW HUNDRED
DELEGATES GATHERED IN CHARLOTTE,
IN THE CAROLINA, WHERE THE ROLL
CALL VOTE WAS HELD AND PRESIDENT
TRUMP WAS OFFICIALLY
RENOMINATED.
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT
ELECTION IN THE HISTORY OF OUR
COUNTRY.
DON'T LET THEM TAKE IT AWAY FROM
YOU.
O'Donnell: TONIGHT WE'LL
HEAR FROM FORMER U.N. AMBASSADOR
NIKKI HALEY, THE PRESIDENT'S
OLDEST SON DONALD TRUMP, JR. AND
TIM SCOTT.
THROUGHOUT THE WEEK I WILL BE
JOINED BY OUR CONTRIBUTE ARES
AND ANALYSTS, CBS NEWS SENIOR
POLITICAL AN LISS AND 06 MINCE
CORRESPONDENT JOHN DICKERSON,
CBS NEWS CONTRIBUTOR MARIA ELENA
SALINAS, PRESIDENT TRUMP'S FIRST
CHIEF OF STAFF AND RNC CHIERM
REINCE PREEBUS AND FOR HILLARY
CLINTON'S
CLINTON'S 2016 CAMPAIGN JOEL
PAYNE, WELCOME TO ALL OF YOU, SO
GOOD TO YOU HAVE, LET ME START
WITH YOU, JOHN, PRESIDENT TRUMP
WILL APPEAR ANY MINUTE NOW, WE
WILL TAKE THAT, AND HE WILL
APPEAR EVERY NIGHT AS WILL A
MEMBER OF HIS FAMILY, IS THE
PARTY OF LINCOLN NOW THE PARTY
OF TRUMP?
YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO FORGET
THAT THIS IS DONALD TRUMP'S
PARTY IT IS ALMOST LIKE ONE OF
HIS BUILDINGS WITH HIS NAME ON
IT, AND IT IS NOT JUST BECAUSE
WILL BE THERE EVERY NIGHT, IS HE
IN EVERYBODY'S MOUTH, THIS IS
NOT ABOUT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY T
IS ABOUT THE PARTY OF DONALD
TRUMP.
IN OUR MOST RECENT POLL ALMOST
60% OF VOTERS IDENTIFIED AS
TRUMP VOTERS BEFORE THEY
IDENTIFIED AS REPUBLICAN.
AND THE FEEL OF THE NIGHT SO FAR
AND THROUGH THE WEEK FEELS LIKE
DONALD TRUMP AND FEUNLLY WHEN
YOU LOOK AT THE CONVENTION
COMPARED TO THE ONES WE HAVE
BEEN TO IN THE PAST WHERE YOU
HAVE PAST PRESIDENTS, THIS IS
ALL DONED A TRUMP.
REINCE PREEBUS, YOU
WORKED-- PRIEBUS, YOU WORKED IN
THE WHITE HOUSE, IS THIS ABOUT
REBRANDING IN SOME WAY THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY AND WHO IS THE
PART OF THE ELECTORATE THAT
TRUMP NEEDS TO IMPROVE WITH?
WELL, FIRST OF ALL, NORAH,
THERE AREN'T A LOT OF
PERSUADABLE VOTERS AS WE CALL
THEM WATCHING THESE CONVENTIONS
AND WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON HERE
IS THIS IS AN ELECTION OF
300,000 PEOPLE IF ABOUT EIGHT
STATES.
O'Donnell: 300 MILLION.
BUT THERE ARE ONLY 300,000
PEOPLE THAT WE CAN MOVE IN EIGHT
STATES.
SO WHAT WE'VE GOT HERE IS THE
PRESIDENT TRYING TO TALK ABOUT
COMPASSION AND TALK ABOUT LAW
AND ORDER.
BECAUSE COMPASSION AND LAW AND
ORDER SPEAK TO PEOPLE IN
MILWAUKEE, PHILADELPHIA, AND THE
COUNTIES AROUND PITTSBURGH,
BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE THE
ELECTION IS AT.
O'Donnell: LET'S LISTEN THE
PRESIDENT.
IN VARIOUS COUNTRIES AND I'M
VERY PLEASED TO LET EVERYONE
KNOW THAT WE BROUGHT BACK OVER
50 HOSS TAJES FROM 22
DIFFERENT-- HOSTAGES FROM 22
DURCH COUNTRIES WE WORKED VERY
HARD, AND WE ARE VERY PROUD OF
THE JOB WE DID.
BUT I WOULD LIKE TO ASK MAYBE
PASTOR BRUNSON TO SAY A FEW
WORDS, TO JUST GIVE US A LITTLE
HISTORY OF WHAT HAPPENED AND HOW
IS LIFE TREATING YOU.
I WAS HELD IN TURKEY FOR TWO
YEARS AND.
YOU TOOK UNPRECEDENTED STEPS,
TULLY, 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'M VERY GRATEFUL.
28 YEARS, RIGHT, THEY HAD YOU
SCHEDULE FORD A LONG TIME, WE
HAD TO GET YOU BACK.
AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT TO ME
PRESIDENT ERDOGAN WAS VERY GOOD.
AND I KNOW THEY HAD YOU
SCHEDU
SCHEDULED FOR A LONG TIME AND
YOU WERE A VERY INNOCENT PERSON.
AND HE ULTIMATELY 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,
RIGHT.
I LOVE THE TURKISH PEOPLE.
IT'S GREAT, IT'S GREAT TO YOU
HAVE BACK, ANDREW, THANK YOU.
PLEASE.
MR. PRESIDENT, THRU FOR
HAVING ME, I'M SAM GOODWIN FROM
ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, HELD IN
SYRIA FOR 63 DAYS.
AND I THINK I SPEAK FOR MY
FELLOW FORMER HOSTAGES AND
DETAINEES HERE WHEN I SAY I'M AS
GRATEFUL AS I HAVE EVER BEEN FOR
ANYTHING TO BE HOME SAFELY AND
THANK YOU FOR THE INHAVE I
TAITION AND OPPORTUNITY TO BE

BRAIN WAS INCREDIBLY SUPPORTIVE
AND HELPFUL TO MY FAMILY AND
CAN'T SAY ENOUGH NICE THINGS
ABOUT HIM, THANK YOU FOR
PROMOTEDK HIM AND JUST REALLY
HAPPY TO BE HERE, SO THANK YOU.
HE GOT YOU BACK.
WE GOT YOU ALL BACK AND WE
HAVE SOME MORE WE ARE WORKING ON
RIGHT NOW TO GET BACK, THAT WE
BETTER DO, PLEASE.
MY NAME, MR. PRESIDENT,
MR. PRESIDENT IT IS AN HONOR TO
BE HERE AND MEET NEW PERSON,
BASICALLY WHAT HAD HAPPENED WITH
ME IS I TRAVELED OVER THE
COUNTRY OF IRAN, TURNED OUT
THERE WAS A MAJOR TRAP AND I WAS
APP REHENNED THERE.
I WENT THROUGH A LOT IN THEIR
JUSTICE SYSTEM, THE IT HAS BEEN
EXOPPRESSIVE, EXTORTIONIST
REGIME, WHAT YOU DID WAS ABLE TO
GET ME OUT OF THAT PRISON IN
RECORD TIME TRK WAS AMAZING.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THE HOOR WAS ALL MINE.
PLEASE.
MY NAME IS JASH, WE WERE HELD
HOSTAGE IN VENEZUELA FOR TWO
pYEARS.
I KNOW VERY WELL.
AND YOU HELPED US GET OUT,
SENATOR HATCH WORKED 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 TO MEET
PRESIDENT TRUMP, I SAID I WAS
BLOWN AWAY, JUST GOTTEN RELEASED
AFTER TWO YEARS AND THEN SHAKING
THE HAND OF THE PRESIDENT IN THE
OVAL OFFICE, I DON'T REALLY
REMEMBER A LOT OF IT, IT IS NICE
TO MEET YOU AGAIN, IT IS GREAT
TO BE BACK HELPING PEOPLE
THROUGH SITUATIONS THAT THEY'VE
GONE THROUGH AND NOW WE HAVE 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 LITTLE BIT OF A MIRACLE I
THINK FRANKLY BECAUSE THAT WAS A
VERY HOSTILE PERIOD.
AND WE APPRECIATE EVERYBODY
WORKING SO HARD WITH US.
BUT WE WERE ABLE TO GET YOU BOTH
BACK.
AND ARE YOU LIVING IN UTAH NOW.
WE ARE STILL IN UTAH.
SAY HELLO TO THE FOLKS IN
UTAH BECAUSE THEY ARE GREAT
PEOPLE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
CONGRATULATIONS.
THANK YOU.
PLEASE.
BRIAN, UNEXPECTED TRIP IN
INDIA, I WAS NOT GOING TO INDIA,
I WAS GOING THROUGH INDIA TO
NEPAL BUT WHERE I WORKED 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.
US HOME.
THE DARKEST MOMENT OF OUR WHOLE
TIME TOGETHER, YOUR LETTER TO MY
WIFE CAME.
AND IT REALLY GAVE HER THE HOPE
AND PEACE.
FROM THAT TIME FORWARD, IT'S
MORE PEOPLE GOT INVOLVED,
ESPECIALLY THE AMBASSADOR THERE,
IN INDIA, THINGS BECAME MORE
PEACEFUL AND THE HOPE WAS THERE
FOR THE LAST FOUR MONTHS.
THAT WE WITH GET TO COME HOME,
THEY PLANNED ON KEEPING ME FOR
35 YEARS.
THE ORIGINAL CHARGE THING WAS 35
YEARS.
AND THAT WAS CLEARED AND THEN
THEY CAME UP WITH NEW CHARGES
THAT WAS 7 YEAR TERM.
INDIA RESPONDED VERY WELL TO
MY REQUEST.
SO WE APPRECIATE THAT.
I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING Y'ALL
DID.
THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING WITH
US.
WE HAVE A FEW MORE PEOPLE WE
WANT TO GET BACK AND WE WILL GET
GET
TH
THEM BECOME AND THEY WILL BE
BACK VERY SOON.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
APPRECIATE IT, GREAT STORIES.
O'Donnell: THERE THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
HIGHLIGHTING A NUMBER OF
AMERICANS WHO HAD BEEN HELD
HOSTAGE OVERSEAS AND WERE
BROUGHT BACK THROU EFFORTS OF
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.
I WANT TO BRING IN CBS NEWS
CHEAF WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT
T
M
MAJOR GARRETT WHO IS OUTSIDE THE
ANDREW MELON AUDITORIUM WHERE
TONIGHT'S HEADLINERS ARE
SPEAKING, THAT IS CLEARLY AN
EFFORT BY THE PRESIDENT TO SAY
THIS IS SOMETHING POSITIVE I
HAVE GOTTEN DONE WATCH.
ABOUT SOME OF THE OTHER PROMISES
HE MADE AND PROMISES HE KEPT.
SO A QUICK DISCLAIMER, THIS
LIST WILL NOT BE EXHAUSTIVE.
THE WHITE HOUSE HAS A MUCH
LONGER LIST THAN WE WILL SHOW
YOU OF PROMISES KEPT AND THE
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE
HAS A LONGER LIST OF PROMISES
BROKEN BUT THE ONES WE WILL SHOW
YOU ARE THE ONES THAT WILL BE
LITIGATED AND PART OF THE
GOVERNING REALITY OF THE NEXT
PRESIDENT, WHOEVER THAT MIGHT
BE.
SO THE PRESIDENT REDUCED TAX
RATES FOR INDIVIDUALS AND
CORPORATIONS.
HE REBUILT AND EXPANDED THE
SOUTHERN BORDER WALL.
HE ALSO GOT OUT OF THE PARIS
CLIMATE ACCORD AND DROPPED OUT
OF THE IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL, HE
APPOINTED AND SAW CONFIRMED TWO
SUPREME COURT JUSTICES AND MORE
THAN 200 OTHER JUSTICES TO THE
FEDERAL BENCH.
ON THE NOT KEPT SIDE OF THE
LEDGER THE DEFICIT IS HIGHER, SO
IS THE NATIONAL DEBT.
AFFORDABLE CARE ACT REMAINS AND
THERE IS NO HEALTH CARE REFORM
UNDER REPUBLICAN BANNER.
AND ALSO THE PRESIDENT PROMISED
DURING THE CAMPAIGN I HEARD IT
OVER AND OVER, MEXICO WOULD MAY
FOR THE NEW BOARD-- SHALL BORDER
WALL THARK HASN'T HAPPENED.
BUT WHAT WE HEARD IS NOT ONLY
THESE PROMISES MADE AND KEPT BUT
THE WAY THE PRESIDENT KEEPS HIS
PROMISES.
REPUBLICANS SAYING HIS METHODS
ARE TOUGH BUT THEY ARE
EFFECTIVE.
NORAH, BACK TO YOU.
O'Donnell: ALL RIGHT,
MAJOR, THANK YOU.
STILL AHEAD WE'VE GOT SPEECHES
BY NIKKI HALEY, DONALD TRUMP,
JR. AND SENATOR TIM SCOTT.

ECHOES OF A FORMER LIFE, I NEVER

I SEE SHADOWS.
MY PARENTS ONLY WANTED ONE
PERSON TO DECIDE MY FATE, ME.
NOT SOME GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL,
NOT SOME BUREAUCRAT.
O'Donnell: AND WELCOME BACK
TO OUR COVERAGE OF THE
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION.
THAT IS CONVENTION SPEAKER CUBAN
IMMIGRANT AND FLORIDA
BUSINESSMAN MAXIMO ALVAREZ.
LET'S BRING BACK IN OUR PANEL,
MARIA "ELLEN" D DRK MARIA
ELENA, THIS IS THE ANTI-RASS
TRO, ANTI-CUBA, AND THIS
ANTISOCIALIST MESSAGE.
I THINK WHAT THE REPUBLICANS
HAVE BEEN DOING IS PAINTING THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY AS SOCIALISTS,
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF BERNIE
SANDERS AND ELIZABETH WARREN
AREN'T ON THE TICKET THEY STILL
WANT TO CATEGORIZE THEM AS THEY
ARE SOCIALISTS.
IT REALLY WORKS WELL WITH THE
CUBAN AMERICANS, WITH THE
VENEZUALAANS, NIX ROG WANTS AND
BOLLIVE VANS ESPECIALLY IN
N
FLORIDA BUT THAT IS BETWEEN THE
20 AND 25% OF LATINOS THAT ARE
ALREADY STAUNCH REPUBLICANS THAT
WILL VOTE FOR ANY REPUBLICANMENT
BUT THEN THERE ARE THOSE WHO SAY
IT IS ONLY RHETORIC.
ESPECIALLY IN THE CASE OF
VENEZUELA BECAUSE WE DON'T SEE
HIM OFFERING ANY KIND OF
TEMPORARY PROTECTION STATUS, FOR
EXAMPLE, OR GOING AGAINST PUTIN
AND PRESSING PUTIN BECAUSE OF
HIS SUPPORT OF MADURO IN
VENEZUELA.
O'Donnell: I WANT TO BRING
IN JOEL PAYNE, YOU STUDIED THIS,
ALL THE DIFFERENT DEMOGRAPHICS
TRUMP WOMAN IN 2016 WHERE HE IS
LOSING GROUND TODAY.
INDEPENDENTS, SUBURBAN VOTERS,
COLLEGE-EDUCATED WHITE VOTERS
AND SENIORS.
WHERE DO YOU SEE THAT MAP THERE
WITH THOSE DIFFERENT GROUPS?
WELL NORAH, ACTUALLY T IS
FUNNY, I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH
SOMEONE CLOSE TO THE BIDEN CAMP
TODAY AND THEY POINTED THOSE
FOUR GROUPS OUT TO ME IT IS NOT
JUST THAT THE PRESIDENT WON
THOSE GROUPS IN 2016.
MITT ROMNEY WON THEM IN 2012 AND
HE IS TRAILING IN ALL FOUR OF
THOSE GROUPS AGAINST JOE BIDEN.
AND I THINK THAT THAT JUST KIND
OF BELABORS THE POINT OF WHAT WE
WERE TALKING ABOUT EARLIER
RELATED TO WILL THE PRESIDENT
USE THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO
REACH OUT TO THE MIDDLE.
THE PRESIDENT IS VERY GOOD AT
BASE POLITICS BUT WE'VE NEVER
SEEN AN INCUMBENT PRESIDENT NOT
WIN RE-ELECTION OR RATHER WIN
RE-ELECTION WITHOUT REACHING OUT
TO THE MIDDLE.
YOU HAVE TO DO A BASE PLUS
STRATEGY.
YOU HAVE TO FIGURE OUT IF YOU
ARE BARACK OBAMA IN 2012, HOW DO
YOU BRING ON REPUBLICANS.
YOU TALK ABOUT BALANCING THE
BUDGET AND THE DEFICIT AND YOU
BRING IN SOMEONE LIKE BILLDALEY
TO BE YOUR CHIEF OF STAFF.
GEORGE BUSH DID IN, REAGAN IN
1980.
PRESIDENT TRUMP DOESN'T HAVE ANY
ITEREST IN THAT.
HE IS MAKING A BET ON HIMSELF
AND THAT HIS BASE IS BIG ENOUGH
AND ENTHUSIASTIC ENOUGH TO BRING
HIM TO VICTORY.
WE'LL SEE IF THAT IS THE CASE.
O'Donnell: REINCE, WERE YOU
TALKING ABOUT THAT, THESE GROUPS
OF CALL COLOR COUNTIES WHY IS
PRESIDENT TRUMP FAILING AMONG
THE SUBURBAN COMMUNITIES THIS
YEAR.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE ISSUES ON
THE TABLE, BEFORE COVID AND
CORONAVIRUS, I THINK THE
PRESIDENT WAS DOING PRETTY WELL
AM BUT CORONAVIRUS CAME AROUND,
PEOPLE ARE SCARED.
BUT THAT IS WHY YOU ARE GOING TO
SEE LAW AND ORDER, COMPASSION
COMBINED AND WHERE I THINK THE
REPUBLICANS NEED TO BUILD IS ON
THE COMPASSION PART OF THE LAW
AND ORDER MESSAGE.
BUILDING THAT UP AND THEN GOING
BACK TO WHAT HERSCH-- HERSCHEL
WALK ARED SAID, MAYBE YOU HIT
TOO HARD ONCE IN AWHILE BUT THAT
IS WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO, AND THEN
BACK TO COMPASSION, NIKKI HALEY,
TIM SCOTT, ALL THOSE PEOPLE YOU
HEARD FROM, THAT IS THE FORMULA
FOR BRINGING THE CLAR COUNTIES
BACK-- COLLAR COUNTIES BACK,
SHORING UP YOUR BASE AND GOING
INTO A CLOSE ELECTION.
O'Donnell: SPEAKING OF
NICKERI HALEY, WE MAY BE SEEING
A PREVIEW OF THE 2024 CAM PAWN
TONIGHT AS NIKKI HALEY ADDRESSES
THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
LET'S LISTEN AM TO THE FORMER
GOVERNOR OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
I'M NIKKI HALEY AND IT IS
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 RE-ELECTION
OF THE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT SHE
SERVED.
AND SHE CALLED OUT HIS DEMOCRAT
YOU CAN OPPONENT.
A FORMER VICE PRESIDENT FROM A
FAILED ADMINISTRATION.
THAT AMBASSADOR SAID, AND YOU
QUOTE, DEMOCRATS ALWAYS BLAME
AMERICA FIRST.
THE YEAR WAS 1984.
THE PRESIDENT WAS RONALD REAGAN.
AND AMBASSADOR JANE KIRK
PATRICK'S WORDS ARE 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, MURDERS 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
ENEMIES.
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 A
WHICH WITH MURDER AND LITERALLY
SENT THEM A PLANEFUL OF CASH.
PRESIDENT TRUMP DID THE RIGHT
THING AND RIPPED UP THE IRAN
NUCLEAR DEAL.
OBAMA AND BIDEN LEAD 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 IRAN AND
ISIS, BREAT FOR COMMUNIST CHINA,
AND HE'S A GOD SEND TO EVERYONE
WHO WANTS AMERICA TO APOLOGIZE,
ABSTAIN AND ABANDON OUR VALUES.
DONALD TUMP TAKES A DIFFERENT
APPROACH.
HE IS TOUGH ON CHINA.
AND HE TOOK ON ISIS, AND 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'S MOVED AMERICA FORWARD WHILE
SWROA 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.
MANU
MANUFACTURERS OF ALL KINDS
FLOCKED 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 BIED ENAND HIS OLD
BOSS.
WE CUT TAXES, THEY RAISED THEM.
WE SLASHED RED TAPE, 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 FRACKING AND
KILL MILLIONS OF JOBS.
THE
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
BREKING 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 PLANE WRONG.
IN MUCH OF THE DEMOCRAT YOU CAN
PARTY IT 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 MOTH
ERR WORE A SARU.
WAY A BROWN GIRL IN A BLACK AND
WHITE WORLD.
WE FACED DISCRIMINATION AND
HARDSHIP.
BUT MY PARENTS NEVER GAVE IN TO
GRIEVEANCE AND HATE.
MY MOM BUILT A SUCCESSFUL
BUSINESS.
MY DAD TAUGHT 30 YEARS AT A
HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGE AND
THE PEOPLE MUCH SOUTH CAROLINA
CHOSE ME AS THEIR FIRST MINORITY
AND FIRST FEMALE GOVERNOR.
AMERICA IS A STORY THAT IS A
WORK IN PROGRESS.
NOW IS THE TIME TO BUILD ON THAT
PROGRESS AND MAKE AMERICA EVEN
FREER, FAY FAIRER AND BETTER FOR
EVERYONE.
THAT IS REQUEST 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 LIFE'S
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
OUR 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
ARE PERFECT.
THERE IS ONE THING I HAVE
LEARNED, IT'S THAT EVEN ON OUR
WORST DAY, WE ARE BLESSED TO
LIVE IN AMERICA.
IT'S TIME TO KEEP THATBLESSING
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 AMERICA'S STRENGTHS.
WE ARE STRIFING TO REACH A
BRIGHTER FUTURE WHERE EVERY
CHILD GOES TO A WORLD-CLASS
SCHOOL 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
IS
PROTECTED.
WHERE EVERY GIRL AND BOY, EVERY
WOMAN AND MAN OF EVERY RACE AND
RELIGION HAS THE BEST SHOT AT
THE BEST LIFE.
IN THIS ELECTION WE MUST CHOOSE
TE ONLY CANDIDATE WHO HAS AND
WHO WILL CONTINUE DELIVERING ON
THAT VISION.
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND VICE
PRESIDENT PENCE HAVE MY SUPPORT.
AND AMERICA HAS OUR PROMISE.
WEWILL BUILD ON THE PROGRESS OF
OUR PAST AND UNUNLOCK THE
PROMISE OF OUR FUTURE, THAT
FUTURE STARTS WHEN THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE RE-ELECT PRESIDENT DONALD
TRUMP.
THANK YOU, GOOD NIGHT AND MAY
GOD ALWAYS BLESS AMERICA.
O'Donnell: AND THERE IS THE
FORMER TBOFFER IN OF SOUTH
CAROLINA, NIKKI HALEY TALKING
ABOUT WHEN SHE TOOK DOWN THE
CONFEDERATE FLAG IN SOUTH
CAROLINA AFTER THE SHOOTINGS
THERE AT THE AME CHURCH.
WE ARE EXPECTING TO HEAR SHORTLY
FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP'S ELDEST
SON DONALD TRUMP, JR.
GOOD EVENINGK I'M DN ALD
TRUMP, JR.
WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TO TALK ABOUT
THE GREAT AMERICAN STORY.
TO TALK ABOUT THIS COUNTRY WE
ALL LOVE, TO LAND OF PROMISE AND
OPPORTUNITY, OF HEROES AND
GREATNESS.
JUST A FEW SHORT MONTHS AGO WE
WERE SEEING THE AMERICAN DREAM
BECOME A KREELT.
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
DEMOGRAPHIC GROUP.
AND THEN COURTESY OF THE CHINESE
COMMUNIST PARTY THE VIRUS
STRUCK.
TE PRESIDENT QUICKLY TOOK
ACTION AND SHUT DOWN TRAVEL FROM
CHINA.
JOE BIDEN AND THIS DEMOCRAT
ALLIES CALLED MY FATHER A RACIST
AND XENOPHOBE FOR DOING IT.
THEY PUT POLITICAL CORRECTNESS
AHEAD OF THE SAFETY AND SECURITY
OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
FORTUNATELY AS THE VIRUS BEGAN
TO SPREAD THE PRESIDENT ACTED
QUUKLY AND ENSURED VENTILATORS
GOT TO HOSPITALS THAT NEEDED
THEM MOST.
HE DELIVERED PPE TO OUR BRAVE
FRONT LINE WORKERS AND HE
RALLIED THE MIGHTY AMERICAN
PRIVATE SECTOR TO TACKLE THIS
NEW CHALLENGE.
THERE IS MORE WORK TO DO, BUT
THERE IS A LIGHT AT THE END OF
THE TUNNEL.
JOBS GAINS ARE OUTPACING WHAT
THE SO CALLED EXPERTS EXPECTED.
BUT BIDEN'S RADICAL LEFT WING
POLICIES WOULD STOP OUR ECONOMIC
RECOVERY COLD.
HE IS ALREADY TALKING ABOUT
SHUTTING THE COUNTRY DOWN AGAIN.
IT'S MADNESS.
DEMOCRATS CLAIM TO BE FOR
WORKERS BUT THEY'VE SPENT THE
ENTIRE PANDEMIC TRYING TO SEEK A
TAX BREAK FOR MILLIONARES AND
DEMOCRAT STATES INTO THE COVID
RELIEF BILL.
THEN THEY ATTACK 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
DEAL IN THE HISTORY OF THE
PLANET.
HE VOTED FOR THE NAFTA
NIGHTMARE.
DOWN THE TUBES WENT OUR AUTO
INDUSTRY.
HE PUSHED FOR TPP, GOOD BUY
MNUFACTURING JOBS.
BEIJING BIDEN IS SO WEAK ON
CHINA THAT THE INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY RECENTLY ASSESSED THAT
THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY
FAVORS BIED EN.
THEY KNOW-- BIDEN ALSO WANTS TO
BRUNG IN MORE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
TO TAKE JOBS FROM AMERICAN
CITIZENS.
S.
HIS OPEN BORDER POLICY WAS DRIVE
WAGES DOWN FOR AMERICANS AT A
TIME WHEN LOW INCOME WORKERS ARE
GETTING REAL WAGE INCREASES FOR
THE FIRST TIME IN MODERN
HISTORY.
IS HE HAS PLEDGED TO REPEAL THE
TRUMP TAX CUTS WHICH WERE THE
BIGGEST IN OUR COUNTRY.
AFTER EIGHT YEARS OF OBAMA AND
BIDEN'S SLOW GROWTH TRUMP'S
POLICIES HAVE BEEN LIKE ROCKET
FUEL TO THE ECONOMY AND
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 SWROA BIDEN IS
BASICALLY THE LOCHNESS MONSTER
OF THE SWAMP.
FOR THE PAST HALF ISN'T REE HE'S
BEEN LURKING AROUND IN THERE.
HE STICKS HIS HEAD UP EVERY NOW
AND THEN TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT.
