F
POLITICS.
>> IT HAS BEEN TWO WEEKS OF BACK
TO BACK PARTY CONVENTIONS.
CONCLUDING THIS EVENING WITH THE
PRESIDENT ACCEPTING THE
REPUBLICAN NOMINATION.
HE WILL DO SO FROM THE LAWN OF
THE WHITE HOUSE.
TONIGHT'S SCENE IS AMERICA, -
-- THEME IS AMERICA, LAND OF
GREATNESS.
IF FIREWORKS DISPLAY WILL FOLLOW
HIS SPEECH.
IT WAS 80 YEARS AGO IN JULY OF
1940 THAT PRESIDENT
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT ALSO
 DELIVERED HIS SPEECH
FROM THE WHITE HOUSE IN HOPES OF
SEEKING A THIRD TERM.
YOU WILL HEAR FROM THE SENATE
REPUBLICAN LEADER, MITCH
MCCONNELL, KEVIN MCCARTHY, AND
RUDY GIULIANI.
MANY OF THOSE SPEECHES WILL TAKE
PLACE INSIDE THE EDITORIAL HERE
IN WASHINGTON, INCLUDING
FRANKLIN GRAHAM, BEN CARSON, AND
THE IVANKA TRUMP.
THE PRESIDENT DOES THE HEADLINE
TONIGHT.
WHAT ELSE ARE WE LOOKING FOR.
-- IS THE HEADLINE TONIGHT.
WHAT ELSE ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
>> I THINK IT GOES WITHOUT
SAYING THAT THIS IS THE
PRESIDENT'S NIGHT TO MAKE A
DIRECT PITCH TO THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE AS TO WHY THEY SHOULD
SUPPORT HIM IN THIS REELECTION
CAMPAIGN OVER JOE BIDEN.
WE WILL SEE A CONTINUATION OF
WHAT THE VICE PRESIDENT SAID
LAST NIGHT, WHICH IS A CONTRAST
OF WHAT A DEMOCRATIC
ADMINISTRATION WOULD BRING TO
THE WHITE HOUSE VERSUS WHAT
TRUMP WANTS TO CONTINUE TO
BRING.
THAT MAINS TALKING ABOUT
LAW AND ORDER, DEMOCRATS
POTENTIALLY EMBRACING SOCIALIST
VALUES AND ALLOWING FOR
LAWLESSNESS AND DEFUNDING THE
POLICE.
AS MANY FACT CHECKERS NOTED
TODAY, THE VICE PRESIDENT, JOE
BIDEN, CALLED TO IMPROVE AND
INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF FUNDING
TO POLICE.
BUT AGAIN, DESPITE THE FACTS, WE
WILL SEE THE PRESIDENT DRIVE
HOME THIS NARRATIVE THAT UNDER A
DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION, THERE
WOULD BE VIOLENCE AND LOOTING.
BUT AGAIN, AS BIDEN SAID TODAY,
THAT AS A REBUTTAL TO WHAT WE
SAW LAST NIGHT, THOUGH SEEMS THE
PRESIDENT HAS BEEN DESCRIBING
THROUGHOUT THE WEEK ARE ACTUALLY
ALL HAPPENING UNDER THE JUMP
ADMINISTRATION.
>> THAT WAS THE HEADLINE THIS
MORNING AT OUR UP -- POWER OF.
THE PROTESTS CONTINUE IN
KENOSHA, WISCONSIN AND
ELSEWHERE.
ALSO, THIS REBUTTAL FROM EARLIER
TODAY FROM KAMALA HARRIS.
>> BARACK OBAMA AND JOE BIDEN
HAD A PROGRAM CALLED PREDICT.
THAT TRACKED EMERGING DISEASES
IN PLACES LIKE CHINA.
I'M GOING TO REPEAT THAT.
THE PROGRAM TRACKED EMERGING
DISEASES IN PLACES LIKE CHINA.
BEFORE THE VIRUS HIT, TRUMP MADE
OUR COUNTRY VULNERABLE.
AFTER IT WAS STRUCK, HE FAILED
TO DO WHAT WAS NECESSARY.
AS IT CONTINUES, HE IS MAKING IT
WORSE EVERY DAY.
>> WE HEARD FROM THE VICE
PRESIDENT LAST NIGHT GOING AFTER
THE DEMOCRATS ON COVID-19 AND
THEIR INITIAL RESPONSE TO THE
PRESIDENT SHUTTING DOWN TRAVEL
WITH CHINA.
YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE COMMENTS
TODAY BY SENATOR HARRIS?
>> I THINK HER COMMENTS
UNDERSCORE WHAT WE ARE LIKELY
NOT TO SEE TONIGHT HIGHLIGHTED
DURING THE RNC.
AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE DEATHS
AND RECORD NUMBER OF CASES THAT
HAVE HAPPENED IN THE U.S.,
ESPECIALLY IN COMPARISON TO
OTHER MODERN COUNTRIES.
THERE'S BEEN A LITTLE BIT OF
HISTORY HERE WITH THE WAY THE
PRESIDENT HAS HANDLED THE
PANDEMIC, BUT THAT DOES NOT TAKE
AWAY FROM THE FACT THAT 80 DOZEN
AMERICANS ARE DEAD AND RECORD
NUMBERS OF CASES IN THE U.S..
THAT IS THE ADMINISTRATION'S
FAILURE TO STOP THE SPREAD OF
THE VIRUS EARLY ON.
THE PRESIDENT IS GOING TO TRY
AND PROJECT AN OPTIMISTIC
VIEWPOINT.
HE IS NOT GOING TO DWELL IN THE
DETAILS.
IT IS A BIT PROBLEMATIC
CONSIDERING THAT THE PANDEMIC
HAS REALLY ROCKED THE ECONOMY,
CAUSING MILLIONS OF OF AMERICANS
TO BE UNEMPLOYED AND HAVING A
DIFFICULT TIME TO PUT FOOD ON
THE TABLE, WHICH WAS THE THRUST
OF THE PRESIDENT'S REELECTION
FISH.
>> EVEN SOME REPUBLICANS ARE
CRITICAL.
OF ADMINISTRATION, BASICALLY
DISMISSING THOSE COMPLAINTS.
MARK MEADOWS, SAYING IT IS AN
INSIDE ABOUT WE STORY.
WHAT ARE YOU HEARING ABOUT THAT?
>> I DO THINK THAT AMERICANS
INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE BELTWAY
CARE ABOUT FEDERAL LAW AND THE
WAY TAXPAYER MONEY IS ALLOCATED.
THE HATCH ACT IS DESIGNED AND
IMPLEMENTED TO PREVENT FEDERAL
EMPLOYEES FROM ACTING IN THEIR
OFFICIAL CAPACITY TO SUPPORT A
POLITICAL CANDIDATE OR ANY
POLITICAL ACTIVITY.
THIS WAS IMPLEMENTED ORIGINALLY
IN ORDER TO PREVENT THE ABUSE
AND MISUSE OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS,
SO REGARDLESS OF YOUR POLITICAL
AFFILIATION OR BELIEF, YOUR
TAXPAYER MONEY WAS NOT GOING TO
A POLITICAL CAMPAIGN, BUT RATHER
TO FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO ENSURE
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WAS
FUNCTIONING AS IT SHOULD UNDER A
FUNCTIONING DEMOCRACY.
JOURNALISTS LAY OUT THE HATCH
ACT IN THAT MANNER.
IT IS SOMETHING PEOPLE CARE
ABOUT.
ESPECIALLY DURING A PANDEMIC,
DURING A TIME WHEN THERE IS
HURRICANES AND HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE BEING KILLED
OR DISPLACED DUE TO THE ONGOING
NATIONAL DISASTERS.
I THINK PEOPLE DO WANT TO TRUST
THAT THEIR RESOURCES, THEIR
HARD-EARNED TAX DOLLARS ARE
GOING TO MAKING SURE THE
GOVERNMENT IS TAKING CARE OF
THEM.
WE ARE STILL WAITING ON THE
ADDITIONAL STIMULUS RELIEF
PACKAGE, SOMETHING CONGRESS HAS
NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET THEIR ACT
TOGETHER TO CRAFT.
THINK THE CONVENTION TAKING
PLACE AT THE WHITE HOUSE AND
POTENTIALLY THERE BEING FEDERAL
EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE BEEN UTILIZED
IN ORDER TO PRODUCE IT IS A
JUXTAPOSITION OF WHAT IS GOING
ON IN THE COUNTRY RIGHT NOW.
>> WE KNOW THE SPEAKER HAS BEEN
IN TALKS WITH THE WHITE HOUSE
CHIEF OF STAFF, MARK MEADOWS.
YOU MENTIONED HURRICANE LAURA,
WHICH STRUCK AT ABOUT 2:00 A.M.
THIS MORNING.
THE PRESIDENT SAYING HE WAS
CONSIDERING DELAYING HIS SPEECH
TONIGHT AND MOVING IT TO MONDAY
BECAUSE OF THE STORM.
BUT AUGUST THE, THE WHITE HOUSE
IS MOVING AHEAD.
WE GET A SENSE OF THE DAMAGE
ALONG THE GULF COAST.
THE PRESIDENT WILL SAY THE
FOLLOWING, "AT NO TIME BEFORE
HAVE MOTORS -- VOTERS FACED
A CLEAR CHOICE BETWEEN TWO
PHILOSOPHIES ARE TWO AGENDAS.
WE HAVE SPENT THE LAST TWO YEARS
REVERSING THE JOE BIDEN
INFLICTED DAMAGE.
HE BARELY HEARD A WORD OF THE
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION ABOUT
THEIR AGENDA NOT BECAUSE THEY
DON'T HAVE ONE, BECAUSE THEIR
AGENDA IS THE MOST EXTREME SET
OF PROPOSALS EVER PUT FORWARD BY
A MAJOR PARTY NOMINEE."
THEY ARE REALLY TRYING TO CREATE
DIVISION BETWEEN DEMOCRATS AND
REPUBLICANS.
>> YEAH.
CAMPAIGNS ARE ALL ABOUT
CONTRASTS.
IT IS INCUMBENT ON THEM TO MAKE
THOSE CONTRASTS.
BUT I WILL SAY, THE DEMOCRATS
ACTUALLY PUT OUT A PARTY
PLATFORM THAT INCLUDED SPECIFIC
POLICY AGENDAS.
THE REPUBLICANS ACTUALLY
ANNOUNCED THEY WERE NOT GOING TO
BE PUTTING OUT A SPECIFIC
PLATFORM AND THEIR PLATFORM FROM
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WAS
ACTUALLY JUST TO SUPPORT THE
PRESIDENT AND WHATEVER HIS
AGENDA MIGHT BE GOING FORWARD.
WE DID HEAR MORE SPECIFICS FROM
JOE BIDEN.
THIS PRESIDENT IS STILL CRAFTING
WHAT HE WANTS TO DO IN THE NEXT
FOUR YEARS, AS WE HEARD FROM
MIKE PENCE LAST NIGHT.
THE THING GOING FORWARD SEEMS TO
BE MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN,
AGAIN, WHICH PEOPLE FIND TO BE
PROBLEMATIC IN THAT IT IS
TALKING ABOUT OUR CURRENT
SITUATION, WHICH AGAIN, INVOLVES
A PANDEMIC, HURRICANES, THIS
RACIAL RECKONING AND VIOLENCE
AROUND THE COUNTRY, ARGUING FOR
A CONTINUATION OF THAT.
I DON'T THINK IT QUITE SHARPENS
THE MESSAGE JUST YET.
>> THE PRESIDENT TRAVELING TO
NEW HAMPSHIRE TOMORROW.
VICE PRESIDENT TRAVELING TO THE
MIDWEST.
WE STILL DON'T HAVE A TRAVEL
SCHEDULE FOR JOE BIDEN.
ARE YOU HEARING?
>> THE FORMER VICE PRESIDENT DID
SAY HE IS CONSIDERING TRAVEL,
LOOKING AT POTENTIALLY GOING TO
WISCONSIN NEXT WEEK IF HE CAN
SAFELY DO SO.
AFTER LABOR DAY, HE WOULD
POTENTIALLY PICK UP CAMP IN
TROUBLE AGAIN.
THERE'S AN ADVANTAGE TO THE
PRESIDENT AND MIKE PENCE GETTING
OUT THERE.
SPEAKING DIRECTLY TO PEOPLE
DESPITE THE PANDEMIC.
>> THANKS VERY MUCH FOR BEING
WITH US.
OUR LIVE COVERAGE OF DAY 4 OF
THE RNC, RIGHT NOW.
>> AMERICA IS GREAT, BECAUSE IT
IS GOOD.
IF AMERICA CEASES TO BE GOOD, IT
WILL NO LONGER BE

GOODNESS AND AMERICANS

>> GOOD EVENING.
MY NAME IS JEFF.
I SPEAK TO YOU AS A MEMBER OF
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
BUT IT WASN'T ALWAYS THAT WAY.
HOW I BECAME A REPUBLICAN SAYS A
LOT ABOUT TODAY'S DEMOCRATIC
PARTY.
I'M FROM SOUTH JERSEY, WHERE WE
WORK HARD, LOOK AFTER OUR
NEIGHBORS, AND CARE ABOUT HER
COMMUNITIES.
-- ABOUT OUR COMMUNITIES.
USE AGO, I WAS ASKED BY THE
DEMOCRATS TO RUN FOR A TOWN
COUNCIL SEAT.
I HAD MY DOUBTS.
EXPLAINED TO THEM MY VIEWS WERE
MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROAD TO
CONSERVATIVE, BUT THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY WAS A BIG TENT, AND THEY
ACCEPTED PEOPLE LIKE ME.
I WAS ELECTED TO COUNSEL IS A
DEMOCRAT.
-- AS A DEMOCRAT.
BUT AS I WON SEATS, STATE
LEGISLATURE, THEN CONGRESS, I
NOTICED THINGS WERE CHANGING.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS BECOME
LESS ACCEPTING OF AMERICAN
TRADITION, LESS BELIEVING IN
AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM, LESS
SUPPORTIVE OF TRADITIONAL FAITH
AND FAMILY.
THIS WAS NOT THE PARTY THAT I
KNEW.
IN 2018, AFTER BEING ELECTED TO
CONGRESS AS A DEMOCRAT, I WAS
ALREADY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE
SAN FRANCISCO LIBERAL RUNNING
THE HOUSE.
WHICH IS WHY MY FIRST VOTE IN
CONGRESS WAS CAST AGAINST NANCY
PELOSI FOR SPEAKER.
BUT IMAGINE HOW I FELT AFTER
SEEING MEMBERS OF THE SQUAD
QUICKLY TAKE CONTROL OF THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY JUST WEEKS
AFTER BEING ELECTED.
THE PARTY HAD MOVED FROM LIBERAL
TO RADICAL.
THIS NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY WASN'T
JUST FOR HIGHER TAXES, THEY WERE
FOR OPEN BORDERS, AGAINST OUR
POLICE, AND AGAINST OUR
GOD-GIVEN RIGHTS.
WHEN THE RADICAL DEMOCRATS WENT
AFTER PRESIDENT TRUMP WITH
IMPEACHMENT, THEY MADE ANOTHER
MISTAKE.
DEMOCRATIC LEADERS TOLD ME THAT
I HAD TO VOTE FOR IMPEACHMENT,
OR MY LIFE WOULD BE MADE
DIFFICULT.
AND I WOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO RUN
AGAIN.
I'M FROM SOUTH JERSEY, YOU
BETTER COME AT ME WITH MORE THAN
JUST WORDS AND EMPTY THREATS.
I VOTED NO ON IMPEACHMENT.
IT WAS AN EASY CALL.
SOON AFTER, I MET WITH PRESIDENT
TRUMP.
HE MADE ME FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE
.
A FEW DAYS LATER, I OFFICIALLY
CHANGED PARTIES AND I BECAME A
REPUBLICAN.
LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT JOE BIDEN.
WHEN THE DEMOCRATS TRIED TO
ORDER ME AROUND, I WAS READY,
WILLING, AND ABLE TO SAY, "I
HAVE HAD ENOUGH WITH THE
RADICAL, SOCIALIST AGENDA."
DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE JOE BIDEN
IS READY, WILLING, AND ABLE TO
DO THE SAME?
AS JOE SAYS, COME ON, MAN.
JOE BIDEN IS BEING TOLD WHAT TO
DO BY THE RADICALS RUNNING MY
FORMER PARTY, THE SAME MEDICALS

INSTALL HIM AS THEIR LOCAL
PRESIDENT.
I TELL PEOPLE THAT AMERICA IS
THE BEST NATION IN THE WORLD,
AND THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS
HELPED MAKE IT THAT WAY.
REPUBLICANS, INDEPENDENCE, AND
EVEN DEMOCRATS ALL KNOW THAT.
IN PRESIDENT TRUMP'S AMERICA, WE
HAVE STRONG MILITARY, STRONG
SUPPORT FOR POLICE, STRONG
SUPPORT FOR VETERANS AND STROKES
OF WORK FOR SENIORS.
IN PRESIDENT TRUMP'S AMERICA, WE
HAVE A STRONG SUPPLY CHAIN, GOOD
SCHOOLS, WE ARE ENERGY
INDEPENDENT, AND WE PROTECT OUR

THERE ARE A LOT OF DEMOCRATS WHO
SUPPORT OUR PRESIDENT AND ARE
DISGUSTED FOR WHAT THEIR OLD
PARTY, WHAT MILD PARTY HAS
BECOME -- WHAT MY OLD PARTY HAS

HE IS BUILDING YOURS.
HE KNOWS THE PRESIDENT CANNOT BE
BULLIED.
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS THE FIRST
LEADER WHO HAS BEEN TOO STRONG,
TO TOUGH, AND TO SAVVY TO BE
CRUSHED BY THE STATUS QUO
ESTABLISHMENT -- TOO TOUGH AND
SAVVY TO BE CRUSHED BY THE
STATUS OF THE PRO-ESTABLISHMENT
MEDIA.
HE'S GOT A FIGHTING SPIRIT, LIKE
SO MANY OF YOU DO.
WINNING FOR AMERICA IS WHAT HE
DOES.
WHILE THEY CALLED IT CHAOS,
PRESIDENT TRUMP CALLS A CHANGE.
THINK ABOUT WHAT WE
ACHIEVED TOGETHER.
THE STRONGEST ECONOMY IN
HISTORY.
THE LOWEST UNEMPLOYMENT RATE FOR
 ALMOST ALL DEMOGRAPHIC
GROUPS, BLACK AMERICANS,
HISPANIC AMERICANS, WOMEN, AND
SO MANY MORE.
HE DID THAT ONCE, AND HE WILL DO
IT AGAIN.
YOU KNOW IT, AND I KNOW IT.
WILL ON THE SOMEBODY TO BELIEVE
IN OUR CAPACITY TO DO GREAT
THINGS.
DONALD TRUMP BELIEVED IN ME WHEN
I WAS A TEENAGE GOLF CADDY.
HE WAS ALREADY ONE OF THE
WEALTHIEST, MOST FAMOUS PEOPLE
ON THE ENTIRE PLANET.
HE SAW MY POTENTIAL EVEN WHEN I
COULDN'T.
HE SEES GREATNESS IN OUR
COUNTRY, TOO.
AND IN EACH OF YOU.
HE BELIEVES THE WORLD YOU DREAM
ABOUT AT NIGHT CAN BE YOURS.
HE TRULY IS A MAN OF THE PEOPLE.
JUST THINK ABOUT WHEN HE HAS
DONE WITH THIS CONVENTION.
YOU HEARD FROM REAL AMERICANS
WITH REAL STORIES.
PEOPLE WHO ARE JUST LIKE US.
PEOPLE WHOSE LIVES HAVE BEEN
FOREVER IMPACTED BY THE
PRESIDENT AND HIS POLICIES.
YOU HAVE HEARD FROM PEOPLE LIKE
JOHN PETERSON, HAS A FACTORY IN
OHIO
-- WHO HAS A FACTORY IN OHIO.
JASON JOYCE, A FISHERMAN FROM
MAINE.
CHRIS PETERSON, A DAIRY FARMER
FROM WISCONSIN.
YOU SEE A MAN WHO TURNED HIS
LIFE AROUND, GET A SECOND CHANCE
WITH A PRESIDENTIAL
YOU FELT THE PASSION OF PRO-LIFE
AND RELIGIOUS FREEDOM ADVOCATES
.
ON NOVEMBER 3, VOTE FOR THE MAN
WHO BELIEVES IN AMERICA AND
BELIEVES IN YOU.

FRIEND, DONALD J. TRUMP.
THANK YOU, AND GOD BLESS THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
SENATOR MCCONNELL: GOOD EVENING.
IT IS AN HONOR TO COME TO YOU
TONIGHT FROM THE COMMONWEALTH OF
KENTUCKY.
I CONSIDER IT MY RESPONSIBILITY
TO LOOK OUT FOR THE MIDDLE OF
AMERICA.
THIS ELECTION IS CONSEQUENTIAL
FOR MIDDLE AMERICA.
PRESIDENT TRUMP INHERITED THE
FIRST GENERATION OF AMERICANS
WHO COULDN'T PROMISE THEIR
CHILDREN A BETTER LIFE THAN
THEIR OWN.
HE HAS MADE IT A MISSION OF HIS
ADMINISTRATION TO CHANGE THAT.
I KNOW, BECAUSE I HAVE WORKED
BESIDE HIM EVERY DAY.
TODAY'S DEMOCRAT DOESN'T WANT TO
IMPROVE LIFE FOR MIDDLE AMERICA.
THEY PREFER ALL OF US IN FLYOVER
COUNTRY KEEP FLYING, AND LET
THEM DECIDE HOW WE SHOULD LIVE
OUR LIVES.
THEY WANT TO TELL YOU WHEN YOU
CAN GO TO WORK, WHEN YOUR KIDS
CAN GO TO SCHOOL, THEY WANT TO
TAX YOUR JOB OUT OF EXISTENCE
AND THEN SEND YOU A GOVERNMENT
CHECK FOR UNEMPLOYMENT.
THEY WANT TO TELL YOU WHAT KIND
OF OUR YOU CAN DRIVE, WHAT
SOURCES OF INFORMATION ARE
CREDIBLE, AND EVEN HOW MANY
HAMBURGERS YOU CAN EAT.
THEY WANT TO DEFUND THE POLICE
AND TAKE AWAY YOUR SECOND
AMENDMENT RIGHTS.
THEY WANT FREE HEALTH CARE FOR
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS YET THEY
OFFER NO PROTECTION FOR UNBORN
AMERICANS.
THEY WANT TO PACK THE SUPREME
COURT WITH LIBERALS INTENT ON
ERODING OUR CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHTS, AND THE WANT OF 5 -- AND
THEY WANT TO QUANTIFY ALL THIS
BY MAKING THE SWAMP AMERICA'S
51ST STATES.
WE CAN'T UNDO THE DAMAGE THEY
HAVE DONE.
NOW YOU UNDERSTAND WHY DEMOCRATS
SPENT A WEEK TELLING US ABOUT
WHO JOE BIDEN IS, NOT WHAT HE
INTENDS TO DO.
I'M PROUD OF THE WORK THE
REPUBLICAN SENATE HAS DONE.
WE ARE THE FIREWALL AGAINST
NANCY PELOSI'S AGENDA.
LIKE PRESIDENT TRUMP, WE WON'T
BE BULLIED BY A LIBERAL MEDIA
INTENT ON DESTROYING AMERICA'S
INSTITUTIONS.
WE WILL STAND OUR POST ON BE
HALF OF THE MILLIONS OF
AMERICANS WHOSE STORIES ARE TOLD
IN THE NEWSPAPERS, WHOSE
STRUGGLES ARE JUST AS REAL.
WE WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT
AMERICAN FAMILIES AS WE DEFEAT
THE CORONAVIRUS AND RETURN OUR
ECONOMY TO THE ENVY OF THE
WORLD.
THE STAKES HAVE NEVER BEEN
HIGHER.
WHICH IS WHY I AM ASKING YOU TO
SUPPORT REPUBLICAN SENATE
CANDIDATES ACROSS THE COUNTRY
AND REELECT MY FRIEND, PRESIDENT
DONALD TRUMP.

DANA: I'M DANA WHITE, PRESIDENT
OF THE USC.
MANY OF YOU KNOW WHAT I DO, AND
I AM FRIENDS WITH THE PRESIDENT.
I SPOKE AT THIS CONVENTION FOUR
YEARS AGO AND I AM BACK BECAUSE
I BELIEVE WE NEED PRESIDENT
TRUMP'S LEADERSHIP NOW MORE THAN
EVER.
BEFORE THE PANDEMIC, PRESIDENT
TRUMP BUILT THE GREATEST ECONOMY
AND OUR HISTORY AND CREATED
OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL AMERICANS
LIKE ONE BEFORE HIM.
FINANCIAL MARKETS HIT ALL-TIME
HIGHS, UNEMPLOYMENT WAS AT AN
ALL-TIME LOW, AND WE WEREN'T
FACING THE LAWLESS DISTRACTION
THAT NOW IS OCCURRING IN A FEW
OF OUR GREAT CITIES.
IT BLOWS MY MIND HOW QUICKLY
SOME OF THE LEADERSHIP IN THIS
COUNTRY HAS FORGOTTEN THE
CRITICAL ROLE FIRST RESPONDERS
PLAY IN OUR SOCIETY.
POLICE DEPARTMENTS AND OTHER LAW
ENFORCEMENT, EVEN SOME FIRE
DEPARTMENTS, HAVE FACED
OPPOSITION FROM MANY IN THIS
COUNTRY, BUT THEY ARE ALWAYS THE
PEOPLE ASKED TO STEP UP WHEN
THINGS ARE AT THEIR WORST, AND
PUT THEMSELVES AT RISK.
THAT HAS BEEN THE CASE DURING
THIS PANDEMIC.
AMERICA, DEFUNDING THESE VITAL
POSITIONS IS NOT THE ANSWER.
FIRST RESPONDERS HAVE ALWAYS
TAKEN CARE OF US.
AND NOW, MORE THAN EVER, WE NEED
TO TAKE CARE OF THEM.
NOW, LET'S TALK ABOUT COVID AND
LET'S BE VERY HONEST ABOUT IT.
NO ONE PERSON AND NO ONE PLACE
COULD HAVE ANTICIPATED THE
CHALLENGES THAT COVID WOULD
BRING, BUT PRESIDENT TRUMP
PLACED ALL THESE OBSTACLES --
FACED ALL THESE OBSTACLES
HEAD-ON.
HE IMMEDIATELY PUT PROTECTIVE
MEASURES IN LACE AND REACHED OUT
TO THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST
LEADING AMERICAN BUSINESSES
ACROSS ALL INDUSTRIES TO DISCUSS
WHAT ENT'S ADMINISTRATION COULD
DO TO GET THE ECONOMY UP AND
RUNNING SAFELY.
THAT MAY GIVE YOU DETAIL.
IN EARLY APRIL, PRESIDENT TRUMP
ORGANIZED A TASK FORCE OF
BUSINESS LEADERS, AND I WAS
FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO SERVE ON
THAT TASK FORCE.
FIRSTHAND, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY
TO WITNESS HOW HARD-WORKING AND
INTERMENT PRESIDENT FROM WAS, TO
SOLVE UNPRECEDENTED PROBLEMS OUR
COUNTRY WAS FACING.
I OBSERVED HIS ABILITY TO LISTEN
AND UNDERSTAND ISSUES IMPACTING
AMERICANS OF ALL BACKGROUNDS.
IT WAS CLEAR HIS HIGHEST
PRIORITY WAS ALWAYS THE HEALTH
AND SAVE THE OF EVERY -- AND
SAFETY OF EVERYONE IN OUR
COUNTRY, NOT JUST REPUBLICANS,
NOT JUST SUPPORTERS, BUT EVERY
SINGLE AMERICAN.
PRESIDENT TRUMP RECOGNIZED THAT
ONE OF THE WAYS TO INSTILL
NORMALCY PEOPLE'S LIVES WAS TO
BRING BACK ENTERTAINMENT.
THE PRESIDENT WENT ABOVE AND
BEYOND TO HELP ALL SPORTS
LEAGUES TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO
OVERCOME THE CHALLENGES OF
STAGING LIVE, PROFESSIONAL
SPORTING EVENTS IN THE MIDDLE OF
A PANDEMIC.
AND WE DID IT.
THE UFC WAS FIRST TO DO IT AND
WE ARE CONTINUING TO DO IT.
NOW, OTHER SPORTS HAVE JOINED
US.
AND SOME LESSONS LEARNED ARE
BEING USED TO HELP REOPEN OTHER
TYPES OF BUSINESSES AND SCHOOLS.
MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT.
WE STILL HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO.
THAT IS WHY WE NEED A LEADER
WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP'S UNIQUE
ATTRIBUTES AT THIS CRITICAL
TIME.
I HAVE SAID IT BEFORE AND I WILL
SAY IT AGAIN, HE IS ONE OF THE
MOST LOYAL HUMAN BEINGS HAVE
EVER MET.
THE MAN HAS UNSTOPPABLE ENERGY.
NO ONE IS GOING TO OUT WORK THIS
GUY, BUT MOST OF URGENTLY, HE
LOVES AND BELIEVES IN OUR
COUNTRY.
HE BELIEVES IN THE PEOPLE OF
THIS COUNTRY.
AMERICA IS A LACE -- PLACE
EVERYONE WANTS A SOLID JOB, THEY
WANT TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR
FAMILY, TAKE CARE OF THEIR
COMMUNITY, ASSIST THE LESS
FORTUNATE DONE ENJOY THE FREEDOM
THIS COUNTRY HAS PROVIDED TO ALL
OF US.
WE HAVE CERTAINLY EXPERIENCED A
TON OF NEGATIVITY INTO THOUSAND
20, PRESIDENT TRUMP'S MINDSET IS
TO WORK TO FIND SOLUTIONS AND
HELP RESTORE AMERICA.
HE NEEDED ONCE AND HE CAN DO IT
AGAIN.
AND REMEMBER, PRESIDENT TRUMP
MAY BE THE ONLY PRESIDENT IN
MODERN TIMES WHO HAS ACTUALLY
DONE EVERYTHING HE SAID HE WOULD
DO DURING HIS CAMPAIGN.
THERE IS THIS QUOTE THAT I LOVE
FROM RONALD REAGAN.
HE SAID, "THERE ISN'T ANY
PROBLEM WE CAN'T SOLVE IF
GOVERNMENT WILL GIVE US THE
FACTS, TELL US WHAT NEEDS TO BE
DONE, THEN GET OUT OF THE WAY
AND LET US HAVE AT IT."
WHAT THAT MEANS IS, AS
AMERICANS, WE WORK HARD TO
OVERCOME ADVERSITY AND FACE
TOUGH TIMES HEAD-ON,
IRRESPECTIVE OF YOUR GENDER,
RACE, RELIGION OR SEXUAL
ORIENTED NATION WHAT UNITES US
AS A NATION IS FREEDOM,
EQUALITY, AND OPPORTUNITY.
THAT IS WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN
AMERICAN.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, LET'S
REELECT PRESIDENT TRUMP, FIGURE
OUT WHAT THE PROBLEMS ARE, AND
CONTINUE TO FIND SOLUTIONS TO
THOSE PROBLEMS.
THEN, LET'S GET TO WORK.
I WOULD LIKE TO CLOSE WITH HIS.
WHILE IT IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT
TO REELECT PRESIDENT TRUMP, THIS
PANDEMIC HAS ALSO TAUGHT US TO
BE VERY, VERY CAREFUL.
WHO YOU SELECT AS YOUR NEXT
GOVERNOR, SENATOR,
CONGRESSPERSON AND MAYOR, IT IS
SO IMPORTANT ABOUT -- IMPORTANT
TO VOTE.
DON'T THINK YOUR VOTE DOESN'T
MATTER.
IT HAS NEVER MATTERED MORE THAN
IT DOES RIGHT NOW.
THANK YOU, AND HAVE A GREAT
EVENING, AMERICA.

GOOD EVENING.
I'M A PROUD AMERICAN AND PROUD
DESCENDENT OF WARRIOR ANCESTORS,
WOMEN AND MEN ALIKE, FROM MY
HAWAIIAN, LATINO, JAPANESE AND
SPANISH HERITAGE.
MY FATHER DEMONSTRATED HIS
WARRIOR SPIRIT OVER 50 YEARS
AGO, FIGHTING A DICTATOR IN HIS
HOMELAND, THE PHILIPPINES.
BARELY ESCAPING WITH HIS LIFE,
HE STARTED A NEW IN AMERICA.
HE ARRIVED WITH NOTHING BUT
FAITH, DETERMINATION, AND A
WILLINGNESS TO WORK HARD.
HE LIVED THE AMERICAN DREAM,
BUILDING BUSINESSES, A FAMILY,
AND SEEING THE TOP'S FIRST
MINORITY STATEWIDE ELECTED
OFFICIAL.
TODAY, I CHANNEL MY WARRIOR
BATTLING HUMAN TRAFFICKING.
I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO LEAD SOME OF
THE LARGEST TRAFFICKING
PROSECUTIONS IN AMERICA, AND
TRAVELED TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES
WORKING WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT AND
NGOS TO DISMANTLE TRAFFICKING
NETWORKS AND RESCUE PEOPLE FROM
THE MOST BRUTAL CONDITIONS
IMAGINABLE, YOUNG EARLS AND
WOMEN SOLD INTO SEX SLAVERY,
YOUNG BOYS AND MEN, FORCED INTO
LABOR SERVITUDE, ILLEGAL
ADOPTIONS, ORGAN HARVESTING,
HUMAN LIFE DEBASED.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IS A
FIERCE WARRIOR AGAINST HUMAN
TRAFFICKING.
HOW DO I KNOW?
IN 2017, I HAD OCCASION TO VISIT
WITH HIM ABOUT OUR RESCUES.
HE ASKED INSIGHTFUL WESTERNS,
EXPRESSED DEEP CONCERN FOR
VICTIMS, OVERWHELMED WITH
COMPASSION, HE PROMISED TO
ATTACK PEOPLE -- ATTACK THIS
PEOPLE.
PRESIDENT TRUMP SUMMONED IVANKA
AND LEADERS OF HIS CABINET TO
HELP VICTIMS, PROSECUTE
CREDITORS AND EMPOWER SURVIVORS.
TOGETHER THEY HAVE DONE MORE TO
COMBAT HUMAN TRAFFICKING OR THAN
ANY OTHER ADMINISTRATION IN
HISTORY.
THAT IS A PROMISE KEPT.
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS TAKEN
SIMILAR, AGGRESSIVE ACTION TO
BREAK THE CHAINS OF DRUG
ADDICTION AND MENTAL AND
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH.
HE DECLARED THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC
A NATIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH
EMERGENCY AND MADE AVAILABLE
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO CONFRONT
THIS THREAT.
HE SIGNED A BILL CREATING A
PHONE NUMBER LIKE 911, BUT FOR
MENTAL HEALTH.
WHEN ACTIVATED, 988 WILL BE A
LIFELINE FOR THOSE STRUGGLING
WITH THOUGHTS OF SUICIDE,
DEPRESSION, ADDICTION, SELF-HARM
HARM OR EVEN HURTING OTHERS.
IT WILL SAVE COUNTLESS AMERICAN
LIVES.
A FEW MONTHS AGO, MY FATHER, MY
WARRIOR HERO, LOST HIS FIGHT
WITH CANCER.
WHEN HE PASSED, HE HAD BY HIS
BEDSIDE HIS SCRIPTURES, FAMILY
PHOTOS, AND A PEN PRESIDENT
TRUMP GAVE ME TO GIVE HIM.
DAD LOVED THAT PEN.
IT REPRESENTED FREEDOM TO HIM,
THE FREEDOM THAT ONLY EXISTS
WHEN SOMEONE IS WILLING TO FIGHT
FOR IT.
TO MY FATHER, PRESIDENT TRUMP IS
THAT ULTIMATE WARRIOR, FIGHTING
FOR FREEDOM.
IF YOU LISTEN TO DEMOCRATS, THE
MEDIA AND LIBERAL ELITES, THEY
WILL TELL YOU THAT AMERICA'S
LIGHT DOESN'T SHINE AS BRIGHTLY
AROUND WORLD AS IT ONCE DID
EERIE DECK IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE.

>> HELLO, MY NAME IS ANN DORN.
MY HUSBAND DAVID IS A FATHER OF
FIVE, BROTHER OF 12, GRANDFATHER
OF 10, FRIEND OF THOUSANDS.
HE WAS THE KINDEST, MOST
DEDICATED, LOVINGEST PARTNER I
COULD HAVE HOPED FOR.
HE HAD A BIG SMILE AND A HEART
TO MATCH.
HE WAS BLESSED WITH THE GIFT OF
GAB, AND I GIFT ENABLED HIM TO
TOUCH SOULS AND INSPIRE PEOPLE,
ESPECIALLY YOUNG PEOPLE.
HOW KIDS LOVE HIM.
AND HE REALLY LOVED THEM BACK.
DAVE WAS ALL ABOUT SERVICE.
HE SERVED 38 YEARS IN THE ST.
LOUIS METROPOLITAN POLICE
DEPARTMENT, AS SIX YEARS AVENUE
-- SIX YEARS AS CHIEF OF POLICE
IN ANOTHER DEPARTMENT.
HE RETIRED FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT
BUT NEVER RETIRED FROM HELPING A
FRIEND IN NEED.
SINCE HE BEFRIENDED EVERY
PERSON, E WAS A VERY BUSY MAN --
HE WAS A VERY BUSY MAN.
ONE EXAMPLE IS HIS FRIENDSHIP
WITH A MAN NAMED LEE.
DAVID MET HIM AFTER MEMBERS OF
HIS FAMILY WERE MURDERED.
DAVE TOOK A SPECIAL INTEREST IN
THE BOY, THEY BONDED, AND THEIR
FRIENDSHIP REMAINED STRONG OVER
THE YEARS.
LEE OPENED A PAWNSHOP.
HE TRUSTED DAVE AND ASKED DAVE
TO HELP WITH SECURITY.
DAVID READILY AGREED.
WHEN THE SHOP ALARM WOULD GO
OFF, THE ALARM COMPANY CALLED
DAVE.
HE WOULD INVESTIGATE.
IF YOU GOT A CALL AFTER I WENT
TO BED, HE WOULD WAKE ME AND
TELL ME HE WAS GOING TO LEAVE,
JUST TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WAS
ALL RIGHT.
MOST OF THE TIME THEY WERE FALSE
ALARMS, TRIGGERED BY A STORM OR
ANIMALS, BUT I NEVER RESTED
EASILY UNTIL I HEARD DAVE'S KEY
TURN IN THE DOOR, KNOWING HE WAS
HOME SAFE.
THE ALARM WENT OFF THE MORNING
OF JUNE 2.
IT WAS FOR REAL.
IT WAS A VIOLENT NIGHT IN ST.
LOUIS.
FOUR OFFICERS WERE SHOT, OTHERS
WERE HIT ROCKS AND FIREWORKS, AT
LEAST FIVE'S MISSES WERE
DAMAGED, DID, OR SENT ON FIRE.
AS THE CIT COORDINATOR AT THE
POLICE DEPARTMENT, I WAS AWARE
OF THE WRITING AND SPENT EVENING
GETTING READY TO SUPPORT
OFFICERS WHO WERE IMPACTED.
AFTER I WENT TO BED, DAVID
RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE ALARM
COMPANY.
THE FRONT DOOR OF THE PAWNSHOP
HAD BEEN READ THIS TIME, HE
DIDN'T WAKE ME TO TELL ME.
HE PROBABLY KNEW I WOULD HAVE
TRIED STOP HIM, OR INSIST ON
GOING WITH HIM.
AS I SLEPT, LOOTERS WERE
RANSACKING THE SHOP.
THEY SHOT AND KILLED DAVID IN
COLD BLOOD, AND THEN
LIVESTREAMED HIS EXECUTION AND
LAST MOMENTS ON EARTH.
DAVID'S GRANDSON WAS WATCHING ON
ACE BOOK IN REAL TIME -- ON
FACEBOOK IN REAL TIME, NOT
REALIZING HE WAS WATCHING HIS
OWN GRANDFATHER DYING ON THE
SIDEWALK.
I LEARNED OF ALL THIS AROUND
FOUR CLOCK A.M. WHEN OUR
DOORBELL RANG.
THE CHIEF OF POLICE WAS OUTSIDE.
I WONDERED WHY DAVE HADN'T
ANSWERED THE DOOR.
IT WASN'T UNCOMMON FOR HIM TO BE
UP WATCHING TV.
I CALLED OUT TO HIM SEVERAL

IT WAS NO REPLY.
HE JUST WASN'T THERE.
I LET IN THE CHIEF, AND FIGHTING
BACK TEARS, HE SAID THE WORDS

IN PALM BEACH, FLORIDA, DONALD
TRUMP LED A CRUSADE TO ALLOW

OFFICE OF HISTORICALLY BLACK
COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES INTO
THE WHITE HOUSE, SO IT COULD GET
PROPER ATTENTION AND FINANCIAL
SUPPORT.
BEFORE THE PANDEMIC,
AFRICAN-AMERICAN UNEMPLOYMENT
WAS AT AN ALL-TIME LOW.
PRESIDENT TRUMP ACCOMPLISHED
PRISON REFORM.
HE CREATED INCENTIVES TO
ENCOURAGE INVESTORS TO BECOME
INVOLVED WITH
ECONOMICALLY-DEPRIVED AREAS OF
AMERICA.
HE STRONGLY SUPPORTS SCHOOL
CHOICE, FULLY RECOGNIZING THAT
NO MATTER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES A
PERSON IS BORN INTO, THEY CAN
ACHIEVE SUCCESS WITH A GOOD
EDUCATION.
IT WAS TRUE FOR ME.
WHEN MY MOTHER FORCED ME TO READ

IT WAS THEN THAT I STOPPED

PEACEMAKER KILLED BY A STRAY
BULLET, A 17-YEAR-OLD WHO MADE
THE RIGHT CHOICES, WORK HARD TO
GO TO COLLEGE AND EARNED A
SCHOLARSHIP, MURDERED BEFORE HE
COULD TELL HIS MOTHER THE NEWS,
A ONE-YEAR-OLD CHILD SHOT DEAD
IN HIS STROLLER, INNOCENT
PEOPLE, INNOCENT LIVES LOST.
ONE TRAGEDY IS TOO MANY, BUT
EVERY DAY THE NUMBER KEEPS
GROWING, AND EVERY DAY OUR
COMMUNITIES ARE ASKING US, WHY
IS THIS HAPPENING?
THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE.
DEMOCRATS HAVE WALKED AWAY FROM
US.
THEY HAVE WALKED AWAY FROM
POLICE OFFICERS AND THE INNOCENT
PEOPLE WOULD PROTECT.
DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS HAVE
SURRENDERED OUR STREETS AND OUR
INSTITUTIONS.
THE LOUDEST VOICES HAVE TAKEN
CONTROL, AND OUR SO-CALLED
LEADERS ARE SCRAMBLING TO CATCH
UP WITH THEM.
IN CITY AFTER CITY, THEY HAVE
CUT POLICE BUDGETS, HIJACKED AND
DISMANTLED THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE
SYSTEM, PASSED LAWS MAKING IT
IMPOSSIBLE FOR POLICE OFFICERS
TO DO OUR JOB EFFECTIVELY.
HERE IS THE SAD TRUTH.
THE VIOLENCE AND CHAOS WE ARE
SEEING IS NOT A SIDE EFFECT.
IT IS NOT AN ON AND ENDED
CONSEQUENCE.
IT IS THE GOAL.
THE RADICAL LEFT DOESN'T REALLY
WANT THAT ARE POLICING, THEY
DON'T CARE ABOUT MAKING THE
JUSTICE SYSTEM FAIRER.
WHAT THEY WANT IS NO POLICING.
THEY WANT THE JUSTICE SYSTEM
THAT STOPS WORKING ALTOGETHER.
IN PLACES WHERE DEMOCRATS ARE IN
POWER, THE RADICAL LEFT IS
GETTING WHAT THEY WANT AND OUR
COUNTRY IS SUFFERING FOR IT.
I HAVE BEEN A NEW YORK CITY
POLICE OFFICER FOR 36 YEARS AND
SPENT 21 OF THOSE YEARS
PROTECTING THE COP TO PROTECT
NEW YORKERS.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN OUR STREETS GO
THIS BAD SO QUICKLY.
I HAVE NEVER HEARD FROM SO MANY
COPS FROM EVERY CORNER OF THE
COUNTRY WHO ARE SAYING OUR HANDS
ARE TIED.
IF WE RETURN -- IF WE TURN THE
TIDE AND RESTORE LAW AND ORDER,
WE CAN FALL INTO THE TRAP NOBODY
HATES BAD COPS MORE THAN GOOD
COPS, BUT THAT DOESN'T MATTER TO
THE RADICAL LEFT, WE ARE ALL BAD
BECAUSE WE ARE ALL BLUE.
THEIR ANTI-LAW ENFORCEMENT
CAMPAIGN ISN'T ABOUT A SINGLE
INCIDENT OR THE RESULT OF ONE
BAD LAW OR POLICY.
IT IS ABOUT A MESSAGE.
THE MESSAGE IS, POLICE ARE THE
ENEMY.
THE MESSAGE IS, CRIMINALS HAVE
THE RIGHT TO RESIST.
THE MESSAGE IS, IF YOU COMMIT A
CRIME, VICTIMIZE THE MOST
VULNERABLE PEOPLE, THE JUSTICE
SYSTEM WILL NOT HOLD YOU
ACCOUNTABLE.
THAT IS THE MESSAGING ECHOING
THROUGH CITY HALLS AND
STATEHOUSES THROUGHOUT THE
COUNTRY AND PLAYING ON A LOOP IN
THE MEDIA.
METALS HEARD THAT MESSAGE AND
ARE TAKING FULL ADVANTAGE --
CRIMINALS HEARD THAT MESSAGE AND
ARE TAKING FULL ADVANTAGE.
WE MUST EXPOSE THE LEFT'S LIES
ABOUT POLICE OFFICER AND THE JOB
WE DO.
AND WE HAVE SOMETHING THEY
DON'T.
WE HAVE A REAL LEADER.
WE HAVE A POWERFUL VOICE IN THE
MOST POWERFUL OFFICE IN OUR
COUNTRY.
WE HAVE PRESIDENT DONALD J.
TRUMP ERIE UNLIKE THE DEMOCRATS
RUNNING FEAR OF THE MOB IN THE
STREET, PRESIDENT TRUMP NEVER
APOLOGIZED FOR SUPPORTING POLICE
OFFICERS AND STANDING UP FOR LAW
AND ORDER.
UNLIKE DEMOCRATS WHO ROSE IN THE
FACE OF RIOTING, PRESIDENT TRUMP
MATCHES WITH ACTION.
HE GIVES LAW ENFORCEMENT THIS
IMPORTANT TOOLS WE NEED.
END OF STORY.
IT HAS NEVER BEEN HARDER TO BE A
POLICE OFFICER IN THIS COUNTRY,
BUT TWO THINGS KEEP US GOING.
WE LOOK AT THE VICTIMS, THE
VULNERABLE, REGULAR WORKING
PEOPLE WHO COUNT ON US.
WE STRAP ON OUR DUE TO BELTS AND
BULLET RESISTANT VESTS
BECAUSE WE CAN'T LET THEM DOWN.
AND WHEN WE DO THAT, WE ARE THE
WORDS OF OUR PRESIDENT SAYS TO
POLICE OFFICERS EVERYWHERE, I
WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN.
WE KNOW THAT HE WON'T.
WE HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE TO HAVE
HIM IN OFFICE AND NO WE CAN'T
AFFORD TO LOSE HIM.
WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR SAFETY,
YOUR FAMILY ON THE SAFETY OF ALL
AMERICANS, THERE IS NO OTHER
CHOICE.
YOU WON'T BE SAFE IN JOE BIDEN'S
AMERICA.
WE CAN HAVE OR MORE YEARS OF
PRESIDENT TRUMP OR YOU CAN HAVE
NO SAFETY, NO JUSTICE AND NO
PEACE.

RUDY: GOOD EVENING.
MY NAME IS RUDY GIULIANI AND I
AM THE FORMER MAYOR OF YORK.
IN 2013, MY CITY ELECTED A
PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRAT AS MAYOR.
NEW YORK CITY, ONCE DESCRIBED AS
AMERICA'S CRIME CAPITAL, HAD
BECOME BY THE MID-1990'S
AMERICA'S SAFEST LARGE CITY.
TODAY, MY CITY IS IN SHOCK.
MURDERS, SHOOTINGS, VIOLENT
CRIME, INCREASING AT PERCENTAGES
UNHEARD OF IN THE PAST, THE
RETURN OF RIOTING AND LOOTING.
DURING RIOTS, THE DEMOCRAT
MAYOR, LIKE OTHERS, OFTEN VENTED
POLICE FROM MAKING ARRESTS.
AND EVEN WHEN ARRESTS ARE MADE,
PROGRESSIVE DA'S RELEASE THE
RIOTERS SO AS NOT TO DISRUPT THE
RIOTING.
NEW YORKERS WONDER, HOW DID WE
GET OVERWHELMED BY CRIME SO
QUICKLY AND THE CLIENT SO FAST?
DON'T LET DEMOCRATS DO TO
AMERICA WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO
NEW YORK.
DEMOCRATS ARE URGING YOU TO VOTE
FOR AN OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE
CANDIDATE.
BIDEN HAS CHANGED HIS PRINCIPLES
SO OFTEN HE NO LONGER HAS
PRINCIPLES.
HE IS A TROJAN HORSE WITH
BERNIE, AOC, PELOSI AND BLACK
LIVES MATTER IN HIS PARTY'S
ENTIRE LEFT WING.
THEY ARE PRO-CRIMINAL,
ANTI-POLICE, SOCIALIST.
THE UNPRECEDENTED WAVE OF
LAWLESSNESS BEGAN WITH A TRULY
JUST CAUSE, THE UNFORGIVABLE
POLICE KILLING OF GEORGE FLOYD
IN MINNEAPOLIS.
PEACEFUL PROTESTS BEGAN ALL OVER
THE LAND.
CONDEMNATION OF THE KILLING WAS
UNIVERSAL, FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP
DEMOCRAT READERS.
IT SEEMED FOR A FEW REEF,
SHINING MOMENTS, DEMOCRAT --
BRIEF, SHINING MOMENTS, DEMOCRAT
AND REPUBLICAN LEADERS WOULD
COME TOGETHER WITH THE UNIFORM
PROPOSAL TO REDUCE POLICE
MISCONDUCT.
THIS POSSIBILITY WAS DANGEROUS
TO THE LEFT.
THEY HAD A PRESIDENT TO BE
TEN-DAY COUNTRY TO DESTROY.
AND ALTHOUGH AN ACTION ON POLICE
BRUTALITY WOULD BE VERY VALUABLE
TO THE COUNTRY, IT WOULD ALSO
MAKE PRESIDENT TRUMP APPEAR TO
BE AN EFFECTIVE LEADER.
THEY COULD HAVE NONE OF THAT.
SO BLACK LIVES MATTER AND ANTIFA
SPRANG INTO ACTION AND IN A
FLASH, THE HIJACKED PROTESTS
INTO VICIOUS, BRUTAL RIOTING.
PROTESTS TURNED INTO RIOTS IN
OTHER AMERICAN CITIES, ALMOST
ALL DEMOCRAT.
BUSINESSES WERE CRUSHED.
PEOPLE BEATEN, SHOT AND KILLED.
POLICE OFFICERS ASSAULTED, BADLY
BEATEN AND OCCASIONALLY
MURDERED, AND POLICE HANDCUFFED
BY PROGRESSIVE, CRACK MAYORS
FROM DOING ANYTHING BUT OBSERVE
CRIMES AND ABSORB THE BLOWS.
BUT THE WORST WAS THE SLAUGHTER
OF INNOCENT YOUNG PEOPLE WITH
THEIR WHOLE LIVES AHEAD OF THEM.
THE MURDER OF FOUR-YEAR-OLD
LEGEND TALIFARRO SHOCKED THE
NATION, BUT NOT BLACK LIVES
MATTER WERE DEMOCRAT SUPPORTERS.
17-YEAR-OLD ASCOT ALL-STAR
BRENDAN HENDRIX WAS KILLED IN
THE BRONX DAYS AFTER GRADUATING
HIGH SCHOOL AND ON HIS WAY TO
ST. JOHN'S TO PLAY BASKETBALL.
HE PASSED WITH ONLY A BRIEF
MENTION.
A ONE-YEAR-OLD WAS SHOT AND
KILLED IN A STROLLER AT A
COOKOUT IN BROOKLYN.
IT CAUSED NO OUTRAGE.
FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP AND US
REPUBLICANS, ALL BLACK LIVES
MATTER, AND THE LIVES OF THE
GRAND AND RENDON MATTER TO --
LIVES OF LEGRAND AND RENDON
METRIC -- AND BRANDON MATTER TO
US.
THIS GIVES YOU A LOOK AT THE
FUTURE UNDER BIDEN.
ALL THE CITIES BEING LOOTED ARE
GOVERNED BY AGGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS
USING THE PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRAT
APPROACHED A CRIME, WHICH IS TO
DO NOTHING, TO RELEASE VISITORS,
AS MANY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, AND
TO GO TO WAR WITH ONLY, THE ONLY
GROUP CAPABLE OF PROTECTING YOUR
CITIZEN.
A VOTE FOR BIDEN AND THE
DEMOCRATS CREATES THE RISK WILL
BRING THIS LAWLESSNESS TO YOUR
CITY, TO YOUR TOWN, TO YOUR
SUBURB.
THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT THIS
AWESOME JOB OF RESTORING
SAFETY TO OUR PEOPLE CANNOT BE
DONE FROM YOUR BASEMENT, JOE.
THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT
PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL FIGHT WITH
ALL HIS STRENGTH TO PRESERVE THE
AMERICAN SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT
AND OUR WAY OF LIFE.
IN CRITICAL TIMES IN OUR
HISTORY, AMERICA HAS ALWAYS
BLESSED THE RIGHT PERSON TO
HANDLE THE CRISIS.
WASHINGTON.

PERFECT FOR THE CHALLENGES THEY
FACED, THEY BROUGHT OUR NATION

PEOPLE, HIS DISCIPLINED WORK
ETHIC, HIS EXCEPTIONAL ABILITY
TO INSPIRE, HIS DEEP

VALUES IS THE MAN WE CAN TRUST

MARSHA: MY NAME IS MARSHA
MUELLER.
THIS IS MY HUSBAND, CARL.
OUR DOCTOR, KAYLA, WAS TAKEN
HOSTAGE AND MURDERED BY ISIS.
KAYLA WAS AMAZING.
SHE TAUGHT HERSELF LANGUAGES,
HOW TO WRITE MUSIC, HOW TO PLAY
GUITAR, SHE WORKED WITH TROUBLED
YOUTH, MILITARY VETERANS AND
NATIVE AMERICANS.
EVERYWHERE KAYLA WENT, PEOPLE
SMILED.
KAYLA HAD A GIFT, TO BE ABLE TO
SEE THE WORLD THROUGH SOMEONE

SHE BECAME A HUMANITARIAN AID
WORKER, AND WHEN SHE WAS HELPING
CHILDREN AT AN ORPHANAGE IN
INDIA, KAYLA WROTE," I FIND GOD
AND THE SUFFERING EYES WERE
DUCTED IN MINE.
THIS IS HOW I SHALL FOREVER SEEK
YOU."
SHE WENT TURKEY TO HELP SYRIAN
REFUGEES IN 2012.
IN 2013, SHE WAS ASKED BY
ANOTHER AID WORKER TO CROSS THE
BORDER INTO SYRIA TO HELP OUT AT
A HOSPITAL.
ON AUGUST 4, 2013, ISIS
TERRORISTS STOPPED HER VEHICLE
AND TOOK HER CAPTIVE.
>> KAYLA WAS MOSTLY HELD IN A 12
X 12 CELL THAT WAS COLD AND
DIRTY.
TERRORISTS SHINED BRIGHT LIGHTS
IN HER FACE, SHAVED HER HEAD,
FEET HURT, AND TORTURE.
THE LEADER OF ISIS RAPED HER
REPEATEDLY.
FOR 18 MONTHS, SHE ENDURED, AND
WE ENDURED AN AGONIZING BACK AND
FORTH BETWEEN US, THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION AND ISIS.
WE PUT OUR FAITH IN THE
GOVERNMENT, BUT THE GOVERNMENT
LET US DOWN.
PRESIDENT OBAMA REFUSED TO MEET
WITH US UNTIL ISIS ALREADY
BEHEADED OTHER AMERICANS.
TO THIS DAY, WE NEVER HEARD FROM
JOE BIDEN.
INSTEAD, THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION HID BEHIND

WHEN THEY CAP US FROM
NEGOTIATING TO SAVE KAYLA'S
LIFE.
THE ADMINISTRATION SHOWED MORE
CONCERN FOR TERRORISTS IN
GUANTANAMO THAT AMERICAN

THE MILITARY PREPARED A RESCUE
MISSION, BUT THE WHITE HOUSE
DELAYED IT BY THE TIME IT WENT

THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION SAID IT
WAS DOING EVERYTHING IT COULD.
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS.
KAYLA SHOULD BE HERE.
IF DONALD TRUMP HAD BEEN
PRESIDENT WHEN KAYLA WAS
CAPTURED, SHE WOULD BE HERE
TODAY.
WHEN KAYLA WAS A HOSTAGE, I
WOULD GO OUTSIDE AND LOOK AT THE

PROMISED HER I WOULD DO
EVERYTHING I COULD TO GET HER
HOME.
NOW, WHEN I SEE THE MOON, I AM
REMINDED OF A PROMISE TO HER I
COULDN'T KEEP.

KAYLA WAS BORN A MIRACLE.
WE WERE TOLD WE WOULD NEVER HAVE

EIGHT MONTHS INTO KAYLA'S
CAPTIVITY, ANOTHER HOSTAGE WAS
ABLE TO SMUGGLE OUT A LETTER
KAYLA HAD WRITTEN.
WE COULD SEE THAT GOD WAS
HOLDING HER IN HIS ARMS.
IN HER WORDS, SHE FELT TENDERLY
CRADLED.
SHE ALSO WROTE, I HAVE BEEN
SHOWN IN DARKNESS LIGHT AND HAVE
LEARNED THAT EVEN IN PRISON, ONE

I AM GRATEFUL.
I HAVE HAD MANY HOURS TO THINK

[APPLAUSE]
MY FATHER HAS STRONG
CONVICTIONS.
HE KNOWS WHAT HE BELIEVES, AND
HE SAYS WHAT HE THINKS.
WHETHER YOU AGREE WITH HIM OR
NOT, YOU ALWAYS KNOW WHERE HE
STANDS.
I RECOGNIZE THAT MY DAD'S
MUNICATION STYLE IS NOT TO
EVERYONE'S TASTE AND I KNOW HIS
TWEETS CAN FEEL A BIT UNFILTERED
, BUT THE RESULTS SPEAK FOR
THEMSELVES.
[APPLAUSE]
SHE IS SO UNAPOLOGETIC ABOUT HIS
BELIEFS -- HE IS SO UNAPOLOGETIC
ABOUT HIS WEEK THAT HE HAS
CAUSED ME AND SO MANY OTHER
AMERICANS TO TAKE A HARD LOOK AT
THEMSELVES AND ASK OURSELVES
WHAT DO WE STAND FOR?
WHAT KIND OF AMERICA DO WE WANT
TO LEAVE FOR OUR CHILDREN?
I AM MORE CERTAIN THAN EVER
BEFORE IT WE WANT A FUTURE WHERE
OUR KIDS CAN BELIEVE IN AMERICAN
GREATNESS.
WE WANT A SOCIETY WHERE EVERY
CHILD CAN LIVE IN A SAFE
COMMUNITY AND GO TO A GREAT
SCHOOL OF THEIR CHOICE.
[APPLAUSE]
WE WANT A CULTURE WHERE
DIFFERENCES OF OPINION DEBATES
ARE ENCOURAGED, NOT CANCELED,
WHERE LAW ENFORCEMENT IS
RESPECTED, WHERE OUR COUNTRY'S
RICH DIVERSITY IS CELEBRATED AND
WHERE PEOPLE OF ALL RACES,
BACKGROUNDS, COLORS, AND CREEDS
HAVE THE CHANCE TO ACHIEVE THEIR
GOD-GIVEN POTENTIAL.
THIS IS THE FUTURE MY FATHER IS
WORKING TO BUILD EACH AND EVERY
DAY.
[APPLAUSE]
BUILDING, AFTER ALL, IS WHAT HE
HAS DONE HIS WHOLE LIFE.
SHE HAS ADMIRED AND BEFRIENDED
CONSTRUCTION WORKERS ON JOB
SITES.
IT HAS BEEN A NEW AND PROFOUND
EXPERIENCE FOR HIM AND FOR ME TO
SEE THESE STEEL AND MACHINE
WORKERS AND THANK HIM FOR BE THE
ONLY PERSON WILLING TO GO TO BAT
FOR THEM FOR THEIR JOBS, FOR
THEIR FAMILIES, AND FOR THEIR
FUTURE.
TO THE HARD-WORKING MEN AND
WOMEN ACROSS AMERICA AND HERE
TONIGHT, YOU ARE THE REASON MY
FATHER FIGHTS WITH ALL OF HIS
HEART AND ALL OF HIS MIGHT.
YOU ARE THE REASON HE RAN FOR
PRESIDENT IN THE FIRST PLACE AND
YOU ARE THE REASON HE IS GOING
TO KEEP FIGHTING FOR FOUR MORE
YEARS.
[APPLAUSE]
[CHANTING FOUR MORE YEARS]
I REMEMBER ONE EVENING IN
FEBRUARY OF 2018, WE WERE IN THE
OVAL OFFICE WITH MY FATHER'S TOP
ECONOMIC ADVISORS AND HE WAS
TRYING TO KEEP HIS PROMISE TO
RENEGOTIATE THE TRADE DEAL THAT
IT DARTED MILLIONS OF
MIDDLE-CLASS JOBS.
MOST OF THE ADVISORS ARGUED THAT
THE ECONOMY WAS SO STRONG
FOLLOWING TAX AND REGULATORY
CUTS THAT IT DID NOT MAKE SENSE
TO RISK ROCKING THE BOAT.
AFTER THE MEETING AS I WALKED
WITH MY FATHER, HE SAID THE
REASON THIS AS NEVER BEEN DONE
BEFORE IS BECAUSE OUR LEADERS
NEVER HAD THE GUTS.
WHEN THE ECONOMY IS GOOD, THEY
SETTLE FOR GOOD, EDWIN THE
ECONOMY IS BAD, -- AND WHEN THE
ECONOMY IS BAD, THEY KICK THE
CAN.
IF MY FATHER DID NOT TAKE ON
THESE FIGHTS, NO ONE WOULD.
IN THE MONTHS THAT FOLLOWED,
PRESIDENT TRUMP REFUSED TO
SETTLE FOR A GOOD DEAL.
HE WANTED A GREAT DEAL, AND
ULTIMATELY THAT IS WHAT WE GOT.
[APPLAUSE]
I REMEMBER EACH TIME HE WAS
UPDATED ON THE PROGRESS, THE NEW
TRADE DEAL WITH MEXICO AND
CANADA, HE WOULD SAY DO NOT LET
THOSE DAIRY FARMERS IN WISCONSIN
-- I DO NOT WANT THEM TO LIKE
THIS DEAL.
I WANT THEM TO LOVE IT.
[APPLAUSE]
TODAY, IN THE MIDST OF THIS
UNPRECEDENTED GLOBAL PANDEMIC,
IT IS MORE CLEAR THAN EVER THAT
OUR PRESIDENT WAS CORRECTED TO
TAKE ON TRADE WHEN HE DID AND
BRING OUR JOBS, OUR FACTORIES,
AND OUR LIFE-SAVING MEDICINE
BACK TO THE USA.
[APPLAUSE]
AS OUR NATION ENDURES THIS GREAT
TRIAL, I PRAY FOR FAMILIES
MOURNING THE LOSS OF LOVED ONES,
FOR THOSE WHO ARE BATTLING
COVID-19 AND FOR FIRST
RESPONDERS AND HEALTH CARE
HEROES WERE MADE ON THE FRONT
LINE OF THIS FIGHT.
THE GRIEF, SORROW, AND ANXIETY
DURING THIS TIME IS FELT BY ALL.
I HAVE BEEN WITH MY FATHER AND I
HAVE SEEN THE PAIN IN HIS EYES
WHEN HE RECEIVES UPDATES ON
LIVES THAT HAVE BEEN STOLEN BY
THIS PLAGUE.
I HAVE WITNESSED TO MAKE SOME OF
THE MOST DIFFICULT DECISIONS OF
HIS LIFE.
I SAT WITH HIM IN THE OVAL
OFFICE AS HE STUCK TRAVELED TO
EUROPE.
I WATCHED HIM TAKE THE STRONGEST
AND MOST INCLUSIVE ECONOMY IN A
LIFETIME, THE LOWEST
UNEMPLOYMENT IN HALF A CENTURY
AND THE LARGEST WAGE INCREASE
FOR WORKING FAMILIES AND DECADES
AND CLOSE IT DOWN TO SAVE
AMERICAN LIVES.
[APPLAUSE]
IT IS WHY OUR PRESIDENT RAPIDLY
MOBILIZED THE FULL FORCE OF
GOVERNMENT IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR
TO PRODUCE VENTILATORS WITHIN
WEEKS, TO BUILD THE MOST ROBUST
TESTING SYSTEM IN THE WORLD, AND
TO DEVELOP SAFE AND EFFECTIVE
TREATMENTS AND VERY SOON A
VACCINE.
MY FATHER IS NOT DETERRED BY
DEFEATIST THINKERS.
THE WORD IMPOSSIBLE ONLY
MOTIVATES HIM.
DONALD TRUMP PROJECTS THE
CYNICAL NOTION THAT THIS
COUNTRIES -- COUNTRY'S GREATEST
ACHIEVEMENTS ARE BEHIND US.
HE LEAVES NOTHING IS BEYOND OUR
REACH AND THE BEST IS YET TO
COME.
[APPLAUSE]
I HAVE SEEN ALL OF MY LIFE HOW
MY DAD BELIEVES AND THE
POTENTIAL OF EACH INDIVIDUAL.
EARLIER THIS EVENING, WE WERE
ALL INSPIRED BY THE INCREDIBLE
TESTIMONY OF ALICE JOHNSON, A
GREAT-GRANDMOTHER WHO WAS
SENTENCED TO LIFE IN PRISON FOR
A FIRST TIME NONVIOLENT DRUG
OFFENSE.
I WAS WITH MY FATHER WHEN HE
DECIDED TO COMMUTE HER LIFE
SENTENCE.
TOGETHER, WE WATCHED ALICE LEAVE
PRISON AFTER NEARLY 22 YEARS.
AS SHE RAN INTO THE ARMS OF HER
FAMILY AND THEY CELEBRATED A
JOYFUL REUNION, MY FATHER GOT
VERY QUIET.
I COULD SEE THE EMOTION ON HIS
FACE.
AFTER A LONG SILENCE, HE LOOKED
AT ME AND SAID, IMAGINE HOW MANY
PEOPLE THERE ARE JUST LIKE
ALICE.
FROM THAT POINT ON, KEY BECAME A
VOICE FOR THOSE WHO HAD BEEN
UNFAIRLY SILENCED IN OUR PRISON
SYSTEM.
PRESIDENT TRUMP RECTIFIED THE
DISPARITIES OF THE 1994 BIDEN
CRIME BILL THAT
DISPROPORTIONATELY HURT
AFRICAN-AMERICANS.
[APPLAUSE]
AGAINST ALL ODDS, HE BROUGHT
TOGETHER REPUBLICANS AND
DEMOCRATS AND PASS THE MOST
SIGNIFICANT CRIMINAL JUSTICE
REFORM OF OUR GENERATION, AND WE
ARE JUST GETTING STARTED.
[APPLAUSE]
MY FATHER DID NOT CAMPAIGN ON
THIS ISSUE.
SHE TACKLED THIS INJUSTICE
BECAUSE -- HE TACKLED THIS
INJUSTICE BECAUSE HE HAS A DEEP
COMPASSION FOR THOSE TREATED
UNFAIRLY.
THE ABILITY TO BUILD CONSENSUS
AND ACHIEVE BIPARTISAN SUCCESS
WILL HELP HEAL OUR COUNTRY'S
RACIAL INEQUITIES AND BRING US
FORWARD TOGETHER.
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS ADVANCING THE
AMERICAN VALUES OF WORK AND
FAMILY.
FOUR YEARS AGO IN CLEVELAND, I
SAID PRESIDENT TRUMP WOULD
DELIVER FOR WORKING WOMEN.
LAST YEAR, OVER 70% OF ALL NEW
JOBS WERE SECURED BY WOMEN.
[APPLAUSE]
FOUR YEARS AGO, I TOLD YOU MY
FATHER WOULD FOCUS ON MAKING
CHILDCARE AFFORDABLE AND
ACCESSIBLE.
IN PRESIDENT TRUMP'S FIRST TERM,
WE SECURE THE LARGEST EVER
INCREASE FOR CHILD CARE FUNDING,
EVEN MORE THAN 800,000 LOW
INCOME FAMILIES GREAT CHILDCARE
AT A COST THEY COULD AFFORD.
AS PART OF REPUBLICAN TAX CUTS
INTO THOUSAND 19 ALONE, OUR
CHILD TAX CREDIT SENT OVER $2000
INTO THE POCKETS OF 40 MILLION
AMERICAN FAMILIES.
DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS RECENTLY
INTRODUCED A PLAN TO INCREASE
THE CHILD TAX CREDIT, YET WHEN I
WAS FIGHTING LESS THAN THREE
YEARS AGO AT THE PRESIDENT'S
DIRECTION TO GET CONGRESS TO
DOUBLE THE CHILD TAX CREDIT, NOT
A SINGLE DEMOCRAT VOTED TO PASS
THE LAW.
WE GOT IT DONE ANYWAY.
[APPLAUSE]
FOUR YEARS AGO, I PROMISE TRUMP
WOULD SUPPORT MOTHERS IN THE
WORKFORCE.
IN HIS FIRST YEAR IN OFFICE, HE
SIGNED INTO LAW THE FIRST EVER
NATIONAL PAID LEAVE TAX CREDIT.
TODAY, 8 MILLION MORE AMERICANS
HAVE ACCESS TO THIS BENEFIT.
[APPLAUSE]
FOUR YEARS AGO I SAID AMERICANS
NEEDED AN ECONOMY THAT PERMITS
PEOPLE TO RISE AGAIN.
DURING PRESIDENT TRUMP'S FIRST
YEARS IN OFFICE, 72% OF ALL NEW
JOBS WHAT DO AMERICANS WHO HAD
BEEN OUTSIDE OF THE WORKFORCE.
[APPLAUSE]
FOUR YEARS AGO, I TOLD YOU I
WOULD FIGHT ALONGSIDE MY FATHER,
AND FOUR YEARS AGO -- YEARS
LATER, HERE I AM.
[APPLAUSE]
MANY OF THE ISSUES MY FATHER AS
CHAMPION ARE NOT HISTORICALLY
REPUBLICAN PRIORITIES, YET WHERE
WASHINGTON, D.C. CHOOSES SIDES,
MY FATHER CHOOSES COMMON SENSE.
WHERE POLITICIANS CHOOSE PARTY,
OUR PRESIDENT CHOOSES PEOPLE.
[APPLAUSE]
SINCE THE DAY HE TOOK THE OATH
OF OFFICE, I HAVE WATCHED MY
FATHER TAKE ON THE FAILED
POLICIES OF THE PAST AND DO WHAT
NO LEADER HAS DONE BEFORE.
RECENTLY, HE TOOK DRAMATIC
ACTION TO CUT THE COST OF
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS, DESPITE
FIELDING ANGRY CALLS FROM THE
CEOS OF NEARLY EVERY MAJOR
PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY.
NOW, WHEN WE SEE ATTACK ADS PAID
FOR BY BIG PHARMA, MY DAD SMILES
AND SAYS TO ME, YOU KNOW, WE ARE
DOING SOMETHING REALLY RIGHT IF
THEY ARE HITTING US SO HARD.
[APPLAUSE]
THIS SPRING, OUR PRESIDENT
SOUGHT THAT AMERICAN CROPS WERE
GOING TO WASTE BECAUSE FOOD
SUPPLY CHAINS WERE DISRUPTED BY
THE VIRUS.
SHE DIRECTORATE -- HE DIRECTED
SECRETARY PERDUE AND ME TO GET
FRESH FOOD TO FAMILIES MOST IN
NEED.
WITHIN A MATTER OF DAYS, WE
LAUNCHED THE FARMERS TO FAMILIES
FOOD BOX PROGRAM, WHICH IS NOW
DELIVERED OVER 100 MILLION MEALS
INTO THE HANDS OF AMERICAN
FAMILIES.
[APPLAUSE]
TO PROTECT THE MOST VULNERABLE
AMONG US, I HAVE WORKED
ALONGSIDE THE PRESIDENT AS HE
SIGNED INTO LAW NINE PIECES OF
LEGISLATION TO COMBAT THE EVIL
OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING.
[APPLAUSE]
I HAVE STOOD BY MY FATHER'S SIDE
AS HE HAS RECEIVED OUR FALLEN
HEROES, AND EACH TIME IT STEALS
HIS RESOLVE TO FINALLY STOP THE
ENDLESS FOREIGN WARS.
[APPLAUSE]
TO CHANGE THE PARADIGM IN THE
MIDDLE EAST, HE TOOK A FRESH
APPROACH.
I HEARD FOREIGN LEADERS BEGGED
HIM NOT TO MOVE THE AMERICAN
EMBASSY TO JERUSALEM, YET HE
DELIVERED IN PROMISE ALSO MADE
AN UNFULFILLED BY PAST
PRESIDENTS BECAUSE MY FATHER
KNEW IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO
DO.
[APPLAUSE]
DEFYING ALL EXPECTATIONS, JUST
WEEKS AGO, HE REWROTE HISTORY
AGAIN BY MAKING A PEACE
AGREEMENT IN THE MIDDLE EAST,
THE BIGGEST BREAKTHROUGH IN A
QUARTER-CENTURY.
[APPLAUSE]
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG
TIME, WE HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO
HAS CALLED OUT WASHINGTON,
D.C.'S HYPOCRISY, AND THEY HATE
HIM FOR IT.
DAD, PEOPLE HATE YOU FOR BEING
UNCONVENTIONAL, BUT I LOVE YOU
FOR BEING A REAL, AND I RESPECT
YOU FOR BEING EFFECTIVE.
[APPLAUSE]
OUR PRESIDENT REFUSES TO
SURRENDER HIS POLICE TO SCORE
POINTS WITH THE BIG POLITICAL
ELITE.
TO MY FATHER, YOU ARE THE ELITE.
YOU ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE HE CARES
ABOUT SCORING INFLUENCE WITH.
IF THESE PROBLEMS WERE EASY TO
SOLVE, PREVIOUS PRESIDENT WOULD
HAVE DONE SO.
YOU DO NOT ACHIEVE DIFFERENT
RESULTS BY DOING THINGS THE SAME
WAY.
WASHINGTON, D.C. HAS NOT CHANGED
DONALD TRUMP.
DONALD TRUMP HAS IT CHANGED
WASHINGTON, D.C.
[APPLAUSE]
AMERICA DOES NOT NEED ANOTHER
EMPTY VESSEL WHO WILL DO
WHATEVER THE MEDIA AND THE
FRINGE OF HIS PARTY DEMAND.
NOW MORE THAN EVER, AMERICA
NEEDS FOUR MORE YEARS OF A
WARRIOR IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
[APPLAUSE]
TONIGHT, I COULD NOT BE MORE
PROUD TO INTRODUCE MY FATHER, A
MAN I KNOW WAS MADE FOR THIS
MOMENT IN HISTORY.
MY FELLOW AMERICANS, OUR FIRST
LADY AT THE 45TH PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES, DONALD J
TRUMP.

PRES. TRUMP: THANK YOU VERY

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
FRIENDS, DELEGATES, AND
DISTINGUISHED GUESTS, PLEASE, I
STAND BEFORE YOU TONIGHT HONORED
BY YOUR SUPPORT, PROUD OF THE
EXTRAORDINARY PROGRESS WE HAVE
MADE TOGETHER OVER THE LAST FOUR
INCREDIBLE YEARS AND BLOOMING
WITH CONFIDENCE IN THE BRIGHT
FUTURE, WE WILL BUILD FOR
AMERICA OVER THE NEXT FOUR
YEARS.
[APPLAUSE]
WE BEGIN THIS EVENING, OUR
THOUGHTS ARE WITH THE WONDERFUL
PEOPLE WHO HAVE JUST COME
THROUGH THE WRATH OF HURRICANE
LAURA.
WE ARE WORKING CLOSELY WITH
STATE AND LOCAL OFFICIALS IN
TEXAS, LOUISIANA, ARKANSAS,
MISSISSIPPI.
SPARING NO EFFORT TO SAVE LIVES
WHILE THE HURRICANE WAS FIERCE,
ONE OF THE STRONGEST TO MAKE
LANDFALL IN 150 YEARS, THE
CASUALTIES AND DAMAGE WERE FAR
LESS THEN THOUGHT POSSIBLE ONLY
24 HOURS AGO.
[APPLAUSE]
AND THIS IS DUE TO THE GREAT
WORK OF FEMA, LAW ENFORCEMENT,
AND THE INDIVIDUAL STATES.
I WILL BE GOING THIS WEEKEND,
AND CONGRATULATIONS, THANK YOU
FOR THAT GREAT JOB OUT THERE.
WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
WE ARE ONE NATIONAL FAMILY, AND
WE WILL ALWAYS PROTECT, LOVE,
AND CARE FOR EACH OTHER.
HERE TONIGHT ARE THE PEOPLE WHO
HAVE MADE MY JOURNEY POSSIBLE
AND FILLED MY LIFE WITH SO MUCH
JOY.
FOR HER INCREDIBLE SERVICE TO
OUR NATION AND ITS CHILDREN, I
WANT TO THANK OUR MAGNIFICENT
FIRST LADY.
[APPLAUSE]
I ALSO WANT TO THINK MY AMAZING
DAUGHTER FOR THAT INTRODUCTION
AND TO ALL OF MY CHILDREN.
IVANKA, PLEASE STAND UP, AND TO
ALL OF MY CHILDREN AND
GRANDCHILDREN, I LOVE YOU MORE
THAN WORDS CAN EXPRESS.
I KNOW MY BROTHER ROBERT IS
LOOKING DOWN ON US RIGHT NOW
FROM HEAVEN.
SHE WAS A GREAT BROTHER -- HE
WAS A GREAT BROTHER AND WAS VERY
PROUD OF THE JOB WE ARE ALL
DOING.
THANK YOU.
WE LOVE YOU, ROBERT.
[APPLAUSE]
LET US ALSO TAKE A MOMENT TO
SHOW OUR PROFOUND APPRECIATION
FOR A MAN WHO HAS ALWAYS FOUGHT
BY OUR SIDE AND STOOD UP FOR OUR
VALUES, A MAN OF DEEP FAITH AND
STEADFAST CONVICTION, OUR VICE
PRESIDENT, MIKE PENCE.
[APPLAUSE]
AND MIKE IS JOINED BY HIS
BELOVED WIFE AND TEACHER AND
MILITARY MOM, KAREN PENCE.
[APPLAUSE]
MY FELLOW AMERICANS, TONIGHT
WITH A HEART FULL OF GRATITUDE
AND BOUNDLESS OPTIMISM, I
PROFOUNDLY ACCEPT THIS
NOMINATION FOR PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES.
[APPLAUSE]
[CHEERS]
[CHANTING U.S.A.]
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, THE PARTY
OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN, GOES FORWARD
UNITED DETERMINED AND READY TO
WELCOME MILLIONS OF DEMOCRATS,
INDEPENDENCE --INDEPENDENTS AND
ANYONE WHO BELIEVES IN THE
GREATNESS OF AMERICA AND THE
RIGHTEOUS HEART OF THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE.
[APPLAUSE]
IN THE NEAR TERM AS PRESIDENT,
WE WILL AGAIN BUILD THE GREATEST
ECONOMY IN HISTORY, QUICKLY
RETURNING TO FULL EMPLOYMENT,
SOARING INCOMES, AND RECORD
PROSPERITY.
[APPLAUSE]
WE WILL DEFEND AMERICA AGAINST
ALL THREATS AND PROTECT AMERICA
AGAINST ALL DANGERS.
WE WILL LEAD AMERICA INTO NEW
FRONTIERS OF AMBITION AND
DISCOVERY, AND WE WILL REACH
FOUR NEW HEIGHTS OF NATIONAL
ACHIEVE --FOR NEW HEIGHTS OF
NATIONAL ACHIEVEMENT.
WE WILL REKINDLE FAITH IN OUR
VALUES, NEW BRIGHT IN OUR
HISTORY, AND A NEW SPIRIT OF
UNITY THAT CAN ONLY BE REALIZED
THROUGH LOVE FOR OUR GREAT
COUNTRY.
[APPLAUSE]
BECAUSE WE UNDERSTAND THAT
AMERICA IS NOT A LAND CLOAKED IN
DARKNESS.
AMERICA IS THE TORCH THAT
ENLIGHTENS THE ENTIRE WORLD.
[APPLAUSE]
GATHER TO HEAR AT OUR BEAUTIFUL
AND MAJESTIC WHITE HOUSE KNOWN
ALL OVER THE WORLD AS THE
PEOPLE'S HOUSE, WE CANNOT HELP
BUT MARVEL AT THE MIRACLE THAT
IS OUR GREAT AMERICAN STORY.
THIS HAS BEEN THE HOME OF LARGER
THAN LIFE FIGURES LIKE TEDDY
ROOSEVELT AND ANDREW JACKSON,
WHO RALLIED AMERICANS TO PULL
DIVISIONS OF A BIGGER AND
BRIGHTER FUTURE.
WITHIN THESE WALLS LIVED
TENACIOUS GENERALS LIKE
PRESIDENT GRANT AND EISENHOWER,
WHO LED OUR SOLDIERS IN THE
CAUSE OF FREEDOM.
FROM THESE GROUNDS, TOM IS
JEFFERSON SENT -- THOMAS
JEFFERSON SENT LEWIS AND CLARK
TO CHART OUR CONTINENT.
IN THE DEPTHS OF A BLOODY CIVIL
WAR, PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN
LOOKED OUT DEE'S VERY WINDOWS --
LOOK OUT THESE VERY WINDOWS AND
ASKED GOD AND HIS PROVIDENCE TO
SAVE OUR NATION.
TWO WEEKS AFTER PEARL HARBOR,
FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT
WELCOMED WINSTON CHURCHILL AND
JUST INSIDE, THEY SET OUR PEOPLE
ON COURSE TO VICTORY IN THE
SECOND WORLD WAR.
IN RECENT MONTHS, OUR NATION AND
THE ENTIRE PLANET HAS BEEN
STRUCK BY A NEW AND POWERFUL
INVISIBLE ENEMY.
LIKE THOSE BRAVE AMERICANS
BEFORE US, WE ARE MEETING THIS
CHALLENGE.
WE ARE DELIVERING LIFESAVING
THERAPIES AND WILL PRODUCE A
VACCINE BEFORE THE END OF THE
YEAR OR MAYBE EVEN SOONER.
[APPLAUSE]
WE WILL DEFEAT THE VIRUS AND THE
PANDEMIC AND EMERGE STRONGER
THAN EVER BEFORE.
[APPLAUSE]
WHAT UNITED GENERATIONS PAST WAS
AN UNSHAKABLE CONFIDENCE IN
AMERICA'S DESTINY AND AN
UNBREAKABLE FAITH IN THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.
THEY KNEW THAT OUR COUNTRY IS
BLESSED BY GOD AND HAS A SPECIAL
PURPOSE IN THIS WORLD.
IT IS THAT CONVICTION THAT
INSPIRED THE FORMATION OF OUR
UNION, OUR WESTWARD EXPANSION,
THE ABOLITION OF SLAVERY, THE
PASSAGE OF CIVIL RIGHTS, THE
SPACE PROGRAM, AND THE OVERTHROW
OF FASCISM, TYRANNY, AND
COMMUNISM.
THIS POWERFUL AMERICAN SPIRIT
HAS PREVAILED OVER EVERY
CHALLENGE AND HAS LIFTED US TO
THE SUMMIT OF HUMAN ENDEAVOR.
AND TO GET DESPITE ALL OF OUR
GREATNESS AS A NATION,
EVERYTHING WE HAVE ACHIEVED IS
NOW IN DANGER.
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT
ELECTION IN THE HISTORY OF OUR
COUNTRY.
[APPLAUSE]
THANK YOU.
[LAUGHTER]
AT NO TIME BEFORE HAVE VOTERS
FACED A CLEARER CHOICE BETWEEN
TWO PARTIES, TWO VISIONS, TWO
PHILOSOPHIES, OR TWO AGENDAS.
THIS ELECTION WILL DECIDE IF WE
SAVE THE AMERICAN DREAM OR ALLOW
THESE SOCIALIST -- ALLOW A
SOCIALIST AGENDA TO TARNISH THE
AMERICAN DESTINY.
IT WILL DECIDE WHETHER WE
RAPIDLY CREATE MILLIONS OF
HIGH-PAYING JOBS OR WHETHER WE
CRUSH OUR INDUSTRIES AND SEND
MILLIONS OF THESE JOBS OVERSEAS,
AS HAS BEEN FOOLISHLY DONE FOR
MANY DECADES.
YOUR VOTE WILL DECIDE WHETHER WE
PROTECT LAW-ABIDING AMERICANS OR
WHETHER WE GIVE FREE REIGN TO
VIOLENT ANARCHISTS AND AGITATORS
AND CRIMINALS WHO THREATEN OUR
CITIZENS.
AND THIS ELECTION WILL DECIDE
WHETHER WE WILL DEFEND THE
AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE OR ALLOW A
RADICAL LEFT MOVEMENT TO
COMPLETELY DISMANTLE AND DESTROY
IT.
IT WILL NOT HAPPEN.
[APPLAUSE]
AT THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL
CONVENTION, JOE BIDEN AND HIS
PARTY REPEATEDLY ASSAILED
AMERICA AS A LAND OF RACIAL,
ECONOMIC, AND SOCIAL INJUSTICE,
SO TONIGHT, I ASK YOU A SIMPLE
QUESTION.
HOW CAN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
ASKED TO LEAD OUR COUNTRY WHEN
IT SPENT SO MUCH TIME TEARING
DOWN OUR COUNTRY?
[APPLAUSE]
THEY DO NOT SEE AMERICA AS THE
MOST FREE, JUST, AND EXCEPTIONAL
NATION ON EARTH.
INSTEAD, THEY SEE A WICKED
NATION THAT MUST BE PUNISHED FOR
IT SINCE.
OUR OPPONENTS ATE REDEMPTION FOR
YOU CAN ONLY COME FROM GIVING
POWER TO THEM.
THIS IS A TIRED ANTHEM SPOKEN BY
EVERY REPRESSIVE MOVEMENT
THROUGHOUT HISTORY, BUT IN THIS
COUNTRY, WE DO NOT LOOK TO
CAREER POLITICIANS FOR
SALVATION.
IN AMERICA, WE DO NOT TURN TO
GOVERNMENT TO RESTORE OURSELVES.
WE PUT OUR FAITH IN ALMIGHTY
GOD.
[APPLAUSE]
JOE BIDEN IS NOT A SAVIOR OF
AMERICA'S SOUL.
SHE IS THE DESTROYER -- HE IS
THE DESTROYER OF AMERICA'S JOBS,
AND IF GIVEN THE CHANCE, HE WILL
BE THE DESTROYER OF AMERICA'S
GREATNESS.
FOR 47 YEARS, JOE BIDEN TOOK THE
DONATIONS OF BLUE-COLLAR
WORKERS, GAVE THEM HUGS, AND
EVEN KISSES.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
AND TOLD THEM HE FELT THEIR PAIN
, AND THEN HE FLEW BACK TO
WASHINGTON, D.C. AND VOTED TO
SHIP OUR JOBS TO CHINA AND MANY
OTHER DISTANT LANDS.
JOE BIDEN SPENDS HIS ENTIRE
CAREER
-- OF COUNTRY ANY LONGER.
I CANNOT SIT BY AS CAREER
POLITICIANS LET OTHER COUNTRIES
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF US ON TRADE,
BORDERS, FOREIGN POLICY, AND
NATIONAL DEFENSE.
OUR NATO PARTNERS AS AN EXAMPLE
WERE VERY FAR BEHIND IN THEIR
DEFENSE PAYMENTS, BUT AT MY
STRONG URGING, THEY AGREED TO
PAY $130 BILLION MORE A YEAR,
THE FIRST TIME IN 20 YEARS THAT
THEY OPT --UPPED THEIR PAYMENTS.
[APPLAUSE]
ADD THIS $130 BILLION WILL
ULTIMATELY GO TO $400 BILLION A
YEAR, AND SECRETARY GENERAL
STOLTENBERG WAS AMAZED AFTER
WATCHING FOR SO MANY YEARS AND
SAID THAT TRUMP DID WHAT NO ONE
ELSE WAS ABLE TO DO.
THANK YOU.
[APPLAUSE]
FROM THE MOMENT I LEFT MY FORMER
LIFE BEHIND, AND IT WAS A GOOD
LIFE.
[LAUGHTER]
I HAVE DONE NOTHING BUT FIGHT
FOR YOU.
I DID WHAT OUR POLITICAL
ESTABLISHMENT NEVER EXPECTED AND
COULD NEVER FORGIVE, BREAKING
THE CARDINAL RULE OF WASHINGTON,
D.C. POLITICS.
I KEPT MY PROMISE.
[APPLAUSE]
TOGETHER WE HAVE ENDED THE RULE
OF THE FAILED POLITICAL CLASS,
AND THEY ARE DESPERATE TO GET
THEIR POWER BACK BY ANY MEANS
NECESSARY.
YOU HAVE SEEN THAT.
THEY ARE ANGRY AT ME BECAUSE
INSTEAD OF PUTTING THEM FIRST, I
VERY SIMPLY SAID, "AMERICA
FIRST."
[APPLAUSE]
THANK YOU.
DAYS AFTER TAKING OFFICE, WE
SHOT THE WASHINGTON, D.C.
ESTABLISHMENT AND WITHDREW FROM
THE LAST ADMINISTRATION'S JOB
KILLING PLANS -- TRANSPACIFIC
PARTNERSHIP.
I THEN IMMEDIATELY APPROVE THE
KEYSTONE XL AND DAKOTA AT
PIPELINES.
[APPLAUSE]
ENDED THE UNFAIR AND VERY COSTLY
PARIS CLIMATE ACCORD AND SECURED
FOR THE FIRST TIME AMERICAN
ENERGY INDEPENDENCE.
[APPLAUSE]
WE PASSED RECORD-SETTING TAX AND
REGULATION CUTS AT A RATE NOBODY
HAD EVER SEEN BEFORE.
WITHIN THREE SHORT YEARS, WE
BUILT THE STRONGEST ECONOMY IN
THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
WASHINGTON, D.C. INSIDERS ASKED
ME NOT TO STAND UP TO CHINA.
THEY PLEADED WITH ME TO LET
CHINA CONTINUE STEALING OUR
JOBS, RIPPING US OFF, AND
RUBBING OUR COUNTRY BLIND, BUT I
KEPT MY WORD -- AND ROBBING OUR
COUNTRY BLIND, BUT I KEPT MY
WORD.
WE GET THE STRONGEST, THIS --
TOUGHEST KIDDING ACTION AGAINST
CHINA -- HITTING ACTION AGAINST
CHINA BY FAR.
THEY SAID IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE
TO REPLACE NAFTA, BUT AGAIN THEY
WERE WRONG.
EARLIER THIS YEAR, I ENDED THE
NAFTA NIGHTMARE AND SIGNED THE
BRAND-NEW MEXICO-U.S.-CANADA
AGREEMENT INTO LAW.
-- OUR BUILDING PLANT AND
FACTORIES IN AMERICA, NOT FIRING
THEIR EMPLOYEES, AND NOT
DESERTING US FOR OTHER
COUNTRIES.
[APPLAUSE]
IN PERHAPS NO AREA DID THE
WASHINGTON, D.C. SPECIAL
INTEREST TRY HARDER TO STOP US
THEN ON MY POLICY OF
PRO-AMERICAN IMMIGRATION.
[APPLAUSE]
BUT I REFUSED TO BACK DOWN, AND
TODAY AMERICA'S BORDERS ARE MORE
SECURE THAN EVER BEFORE.
[APPLAUSE]
THANK YOU.
WE ENDED CATCH AND RELEASE,
STOPPED ASYLUM FRAUD, TOOK DOWN
HUMAN TRAFFICKERS WHO PREY ON
WOMEN AND CHILDREN, AND WE HAVE
DEPORTED 20,000 GANG MEMBERS AND
500,000 CRIMINAL ALIENS.
[APPLAUSE]
WE HAVE ALREADY BUILT 300 MILES
OF BORDER WALL, AND WE ARE
ADDING 10 NEW MILES EVERY SINGLE
WEEK.
THE WALL WILL SOON BE COMPLETE,
AND IT IS WORKING BEYOND OUR
WILDEST EXPECTATIONS.
[APPLAUSE]
WE ARE JOINED THIS EVENING BY
MEMBERS OF THE BORDER PATROL
UNION REPRESENTING OUR COUNTRY'S
COURAGEOUS BORDER PATROL AGENTS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING
HERE.
BRAVE, BRAVE PEOPLE.
[APPLAUSE]
[CHANTING U.S.A.]
THIS COUNTRY LOVES OUR LAW
ENFORCEMENT.
[APPLAUSE]
THEY REALLY DO.
LOVE AND RESPECT THEM.
WHEN I LEARNED THAT THE
TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY AD
LAID OFF HUNDREDS OF AMERICAN
WORKERS AND FORCED THEM TO TRAIN
THEIR LOWER PAID FOREIGN
REPLACEMENTS, I PROMPTLY REMOVED
THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD, AND
NOW THOSE TALENTED AMERICAN
WORKERS HAVE BEEN REHIRED AND
OUR BACK PROVIDE -- AND ARE BACK
PROVIDING POWER TO GEORGIA,
ALABAMA, KENTUCKY, MISSISSIPPI,
NORTH CAROLINA, AND VIRGINIA.
[APPLAUSE]
THEY HAVE THEIR OLD JOBS BACK,
AND SOME ARE HERE WITH US THIS
EVENING.
PLEASE STAND.
YOU WENT THROUGH A LOT.
PLEASE STAND.
[APPLAUSE]
YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH A LOT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
LAST MONTH, I TOOK ON BIG PHARMA
.
YOU THINK THAT IS EASY?
I SIGNED ORDERS THAT WOULD
MASSIVELY LOWER THE COST OF YOUR
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS AND GIVE
CRITICALLY ILL PATIENTS ACCESS
TO LIFESAVING CURES.
WE PASSED THE DECADES
LONG-AWAITED RIGHT TO TRY, RIGHT
TO TRY.
[APPLAUSE]
WE ALSO PASSED V.A.
ACCOUNTABILITY AND V.A. CHOICE,
OUR GREAT VETERANS.
WE ARE TAKING CARE OF OUR
VETERANS.
[APPLAUSE]
91% APPROVAL RATING THIS MONTH,
THE V.A. GIVEN BY OUR VETERANS.
THE FIRST TIME ANYTHING LIKE
THAT HAS HAPPENED.
BY THE END OF MY FIRST TERM, WE
WILL HAVE APPROVED MORE THAN 300
FEDERAL JUDGES, INCLUDING TWO
NEW GREAT SUPREME COURT
JUSTICES.
[APPLAUSE]
AND TO BRING PROSPERITY TO OUR
FORGOTTEN INNER CITIES, WE
WORKED HARD TO PASS HISTORIC
CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM, PRISON
REFORM, OPPORTUNITY ZONES, AND
LONG-TERM FUNDING OF
HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES AND
UNIVERSITIES, AND BEFORE THE
CHINA VIRUS CAME IN, PRODUCED
THE BEST UNEMPLOYMENT NUMBERS
FOR AFRICAN-AMERICANS, HISPANIC
AMERICANS, AND ASIAN AMERICANS
EVER RECORDED.
[APPLAUSE]
AND I SAY VERY MODESTLY THAT I
HAVE DONE MORE FOR THE
AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY THAN
ANY PRESIDENT SINCE ABRAHAM
LINCOLN, OUR FIRST REPUBLICAN
PRESIDENT.
[APPLAUSE]
AND I HAVE DONE MORE IN THREE
YEARS FOR THE BLACK COMMUNITY
THEN JOE BIDEN HAS DONE IN 47
YEARS.
[APPLAUSE]
AND WHEN I AM REELECTED, THE
BEST IS YET TO COME.
[APPLAUSE]
[CHANTING "FOUR MORE YEARS"]
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WHEN I TOOK OFFICE, THE MIDDLE
EAST WAS IN TOTAL CHAOS.
ISIS WAS RAMPAGING, KAREN -- I
RAN --IRAN WAS ON THE RISE AND
THE WAR HAD NO END IN SIGHT.
I WITHDREW FROM THE TERRIBLE
ONE-SIDED I RUN --I
IRAN-NUCLEAR DEAL.
UNLIKE PRESIDENTS BEFORE ME, I
KEPT MY PROMISE, RECOGNIZED
ISRAEL'S TRUE CAPITAL, AND MOVED
OUR EMBASSY TO JERUSALEM.
[APPLAUSE]
BUT NOT ONLY DID WE TALK ABOUT
IT AS A FUTURE SITE, WE GOT IT
BUILT.
RATHER THAN SPENDING $1 BILLION
ON A NEW BUILDING AS PLANNED, WE
TOOK AN ALREADY OWNED EXISTING
BUILDING AND A BETTER LOCATION.
REAL ESTATE DEAL, RIGHT?
[LAUGHTER]
AND OPENED IT AT A COST OF LESS
THAN $500,000.
[APPLAUSE]
ANYTHING LIKE THAT THE
GOVERNMENT IS DOING RIGHT NOW.
WE ALSO RECOGNIZED ISRAELI
SOVEREIGNTY OVER THE GOLAN
HEIGHTS, AND THIS MONTH WE
ACHIEVED THE FIRST MIDDLE EAST
PEACE DEAL IN 25 YEARS.
[APPLAUSE]
THANK YOU TO THE UAE.
THANK YOU TO ISRAEL.
[APPLAUSE]
IN ADDITION, WE OBLITERATED 100%
OF THE ISIS CALIPHATE AND KILLED
ITS FOUNDER AND LEADER,
AL-BAGHDADI.
[APPLAUSE]
THEN IN A SEPARATE OPERATION, WE
ELIMINATED THE WORLD'S NUMBER
ONE TERRORIST BY FAR, QASEM
SOLEIMANI.
[APPLAUSE]
UNLIKE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS,
I HAVE KEPT AMERICA OUT OF NEW
WARS, AND OUR TROOPS ARE COMING
HOME.
WE HAVE SPENT NEARLY $2.5
TRILLION ON COMPLETELY
REBUILDING OUR MILITARY, WHICH
WAS VERY BADLY DEPLETED WHEN I
TOOK OFFICE, AS YOU KNOW.
THIS INCLUDES THREE SEPARATE PAY
RAISES FOR OUR GREAT WARRIORS.
[APPLAUSE]
WE ALSO LAUNCHED THE SPACE FORCE
, THE FIRST NEW BRANCH OF THE
UNITED STATES MILITARY SINCE THE
AIR FORCE WAS CREATED ALMOST 75
YEARS AGO.
WE HAVE SPENT THE LAST FOUR
YEARS REVERSING THE DAMAGE JOE
BIDEN INFLICTED OVER THE LAST 47
YEARS.
BIDEN'S RECORD IS A SHAMEFUL
LOCAL OF THE MOST CATASTROPHIC
BETRAYALS AND BLUNDERS IN OUR
LIFETIME.
HE HAS SPENT HIS ENTIRE CAREER
ON THE WRONG SIDE OF HISTORY.
BIDEN VOTED FOR THE NAFTA
DISASTER, THE SINGLE WORST TRADE
DEAL EVER ENACTED.
HE SUPPORTED CHINA'S ENTRY INTO
THE WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION,
ONE OF THE GREATEST ECONOMIC
DISASTERS OF ALL TIME.
AFTER THOSE BIDEN CALAMITIES,
THE UNITED STATES LOST ONE IN FO
UR MANUFACTURING JOBS.
WE LAID OFF WORKERS IN MICHIGAN,
OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, AND MANY
OTHER STATES.
THEY DID NOT WANT TO HEAR
BIDEN'S HOLLOW WORDS OF EMPATHY.
THEY WANTED THEIR JOBS BACK.
[APPLAUSE]
AS VICE PRESIDENT, HE SUPPORTED
THE TRANSPACIFIC PARTNERSHIP,
WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN A DEATH
SENTENCE FOR THE U.S. AUTO
INDUSTRY.
HE BACKED THE HORRENDOUS SOUTH
KOREA TRADE DEAL, WHICH TOOK
MANY JOBS FROM OUR COUNTRY, AND
WHICH I REVERSED AND MADE A
GREAT DEAL FOR OUR COUNTRY.
HE REPEATEDLY SUPPORTED MASS
AMNESTY FOR ILLEGAL AGREEMENT --
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.
HE VOTED FOR THE IRAQ WAR.
HE OPPOSED THE MISSION THAT TOOK
OUT OSAMA BIN LADEN.
HE OPPOSED KILLING SULLA MANY,
OVERSAW THE RISE OF CHOICES AND
CLEARED THE RISE OF CHINA AS A
POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT FOR THE
WORLD.
SOME POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT.
THAT IS WHY CHINA SUPPORTS JOE
BIDEN AND IT DESPERATELY WANTS
HIM TO WIN.
I CAN TELL YOU THAT UPON VERY
GOOD INFORMATION.
[LAUGHTER]
CHINA WOULD OWN OUR COUNTRY IF
JOE BIDEN GOT ELECTED.
UNLIKE BIDEN, I WILL HOLD THEM
FULLY ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE
TRAGEDY THAT THEY CAUSED ALL
OVER THE WORLD, THEY CAUSED.
IN RECENT MONTHS OUR NATION AND
IN THE WORLD HAS BEEN HIT BY THE
ONCE IN A CENTURY PANDEMIC THAT
CHINA ALLOWED TO SPREAD AROUND
THE GLOBE.
THEY COULD HAVE STOPPED IT, BUT
THEY ALLOWED IT TO COME OUT.
WE ARE GRATEFUL TO BE JOINED
TONIGHT BY SEVERAL OF OUR
INCREDIBLE NURSES EDIT FIRST
RESPONDERS.
PLEASE STAND AND ACCEPT OUR
PROFOUND THANKS AND GRATITUDE.
[APPLAUSE]
MANY AMERICANS, INCLUDING ME, I
HAVE SADLY LOST FRIENDS AND
CHERISHED LOVED ONES TO THIS
HORRIBLE DISEASE.
AS ONE NATION, WE MOURN, WE
GRIEVE, AND WE HOLD IN OUR
HEARTS FOREVER THE MEMORIES OF
ALL OF THOSE LIVES THAT HAVE
BEEN SO TRAGICALLY TAKEN, SO
UNNECESSARY.
IN THEIR HONOR, WE UNITE IN
THEIR MEMORY, WE WILL OVERCOME.
WHEN AT THE CHINA VIRUS HIT, WE
LAUNCH THE LARGEST NATIONAL
MOBILIZATION SINCE WORLD WAR II,
INVOKING THE DEFENSE PRODUCTION
ACT.
WE PRODUCE THE WORLD'S LARGEST
SUPPLY OF VENTILATORS.
NOT A SINGLE AMERICA: AS NEEDED
A VENTILATOR WAS DENIED --
SINGLE AMERICAN WHO HAS NEEDED A
VENTILATOR WAS DENIED A
VENTILATOR.
[APPLAUSE]
GOOD JOB HEADING THE TASK FORCE
BY OUR GREAT VICE PRESIDENT.
[APPLAUSE]
WE SHIPPED HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS
OF MASKS, GLOVES, AND GOWNS TO
FRONTLINE HEALTH CARE WORKERS TO
PROTECT OUR NATION SENIORS, WE
RUSHED SUPPLIES.
DO NURSING HOMES, WE GAVE
EVERYTHING WE POSSIBLY COULD
GIVE EDIT WE ARE STILL GETTING
IT BECAUSE WE ARE TAKING CARE OF
OUR SENIOR CITIZENS.
[APPLAUSE]
THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS
BUILT FIELD HOSPITALS, AND IN
THE NAVY DEPLOYED OUR GREAT
HOSPITAL SHIPS.
WE DEVELOPED FROM SCRATCH THE
LARGEST AND MOST ADVANCED
TESTING SYSTEM ANYWHERE IN THE
WORLD.
AMERICA AS TESTED MORE THAN
EVERY COUNTRY IN EUROPE PUT
TOGETHER AND MORE THAN EVERY
NATION IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE
COMBINED.
WE HAVE CONDUCTED A 40 MILLION
MORE TESTS THEN THE NEXT CLOSEST
NATION, WHICH IS INDIA.
WE DEVELOPED A WIDE ARRAY OF
EFFECTIVE TREATMENTS, INCLUDING
A POWERFUL ANTIBODY TREATMENT
KNOWN AS CONVALESCENT PLASMA.
YOU SAW THAT ON SUNDAY NIGHT,
THAT WILL SAVE THOUSANDS AND
THOUSANDS OF LIVES.
THANKS TO ADVANCEMENTS, WE HAVE
PIONEERED THE FATALITY RATES,
AND YOU LOOK AT IT, AND YOU LOOK
AT THE NUMBERS.
IT HAS BEEN REDUCED BY 80% SINCE
APRIL, 80%.
[APPLAUSE]
THE UNITED STATES AS AMONG THE
LOWEST CASE FATALITY RATES OF
ANY MAJOR COUNTRY ANYWHERE IN
THE WORLD.
THE EUROPEAN UNION CASE FATALITY
RATE IS NEARLY THREE TIMES
HIGHER THAN OURS, BUT YOU DO NOT
HEAR ABOUT IT.
THEY DO NOT WRITE ABOUT IT.
THEY DO NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW
THOSE THINGS.
ALTOGETHER, THE NATIONS OF
EUROPE HAVE EXPERIENCED A 30%
GREATER INCREASE IN EXCESS
MORTALITY THEN THE UNITED
STATES.
THINK OF THAT.
WE ENACTED THE LARGEST PACKAGE
OF FINANCIAL RELIEF IN AMERICAN
HISTORY.
THANKS TO OUR PAYCHECK
PROTECTION PROGRAM, WE HAVE
SAVED OR SUPPORTED MORE THAN 50
MILLION AMERICAN JOBS.
THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS WE
ARE
AS A RESULT, WE HAVE SEEN THE
SMALLEST ECONOMIC CONTRACTION OF
ANY NATION, AND WE ARE
RECOVERING AT A MUCH FASTER RATE
THAN ANYBODY.
OVER THE PAST THREE MONTHS, WE
HAVE GAINED 9 MILLION JOBS, AND
THAT IS A RECORD IN THE HIS AREA
OF OUR COUNTRY -- THAT IS A
RECORD IN THE HISTORY OF OUR
COUNTRY.
[APPLAUSE]
THEY HAVE SHOWN THEMSELVES
CAPABLE OF NOTHING BUT A
PARTISAN ABILITY TO CRITICIZE.
WHEN I TOOK BOLD ACTION TO ISSUE
A TRAVEL BAN ON CHINA VERY EARLY
INDEED, JOE CALLED IT HYSTERICAL
AND XENOPHOBIC.
THEN I INTRODUCED A BAN ON
EUROPE VERY EARLY AGAIN.
IF WE HAD LISTENED TO JOE,
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS MORE
AMERICANS WOULD HAVE DIED.
INSTEAD OF FOLLOWING THE
SCIENCE, JOE BIDEN WANTS TO
INFLICT A SHUTDOWN ON THE ENTIRE
COUNTRY.
THE SHUTDOWN WOULD INFLICT
LASTING HARM ON OUR NATION'S
FAMILIES AND CITIZENS OF ALL
BACKGROUNDS.
THE COST OF THE BIDEN SHUTDOWN
WOULD BE MEASURED IN INCREASED
DRUG OVERDOSES, DEPRESSION,
ALCOHOL ADDICTION, SUICIDES,
HEART ATTACKS, ECONOMIC
DEVASTATION, JOB LOSS, INTO MUCH
MORE.
JOE BIDEN'S PLAN IS NOT A
SOLUTION TO THE VIRUS, BUT
RATHER IT IS A SURRENDER TO THE
VIRUS.
[APPLAUSE]
MY ADMINISTRATION HAS A VERY
DIFFERENT APPROACH.
TO SAVE AS MANY LIVES AS
POSSIBLE, WE ARE FOCUSING ON THE
SCIENCE, THE FACTS, AND THE
DATA.
WE ARE AGGRESSIVELY SHELTERING
THOSE MOST AT RISK, ESPECIALLY
THE ELDERLY, ALLOWING LOWER RISK
AMERICANS TO SAFELY RETURN TO
WORK AND TO SCHOOL, AND WE WANT
TO SEE SO MANY OF THOSE GREAT
STATES BE OPEN BY DEMOCRATS.
WE WANT THEM TO BE OPEN.
THEY HAVE TO BE OPEN.
THEY HAVE TO GET BACK TO WORK.
[APPLAUSE]
THEY HAVE TO GET BACK TO WORK,
AND THEY HAVE TO GET BACK TO
SCHOOL.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE ARE
MARSHALING AMERICA'S SCIENTIFIC
GENIUS TO PRODUCE A VACCINE IN
RECORD TIME.
UNDER OPERATION WARP SPEED, WE
HAVE THREE DIFFERENT VACCINES IN
THE FINAL STAGE OF TRIALS RIGHT
NOW, YEARS AHEAD OF WHAT HAS
BEEN ACHIEVED BEFORE.
NO ONE HAS EVER THOUGHT IT COULD
BE DONE THIS FAST.
NORMALLY IT WOULD BE YEARS.
WE ARE PRODUCING THEM AN ADVANCE
SO HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOSES
CAN BE QUICKLY AVAILABLE.
WE HAVE A SAFE AND EFFECTIVE
VACCINE THIS YEAR, AND TOGETHER
WE WILL CRUSH THE VIRUS.
[APPLAUSE]
AT THE DEMOCRAT CONVENTION, YOU
BARELY HEARD A WORD ABOUT THEIR
AGENDA.
BUT THAT IS NOT BECAUSE THEY
DON'T HAVE ONE.
IT IS BECAUSE THEIR AGENDA IS
THE MOST EXTREME SET OF
PROPOSALS EVER PUT FORWARD BY A
MAJOR PARTY NOMINEE.
JOE BIDEN MAY CLAIM HE IS AN
ALLY OF THE LIGHT, BUT WHEN IT
COMES TO HIS AGENDA, BIDEN WANTS
TO KEEP US COMPLETELY IN THE
DARK.
HE DOESN'T HAVE A KAHLUA.
-- HE DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE.
HE PLEDGED A TAX HIKE ON ALMOST
ALL AMERICAN FAMILIES, WHICH
WOULD TOTALLY COLLAPSE ARE
RAPIDLY IMPROVING ECONOMY, AND
ONCE AGAIN RECORD STOCK MARKETS
THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW WILL ALSO
COLLAPSE.
THAT MEANS YOUR 401(K)S,
ALTHOUGH STOCKS YOU HAVE.
ON THE OTHER HAND, JUST AS I DID
IN MY FIRST TERM, I WILL CUT
TAXES EVEN FURTHER FOR
HARD-WORKING MOMS AND DADS.
I WILL NOT RAISE TAXES, I WILL
CUT THEM, AND VERY
SUBSTANTIALLY.
[APPLAUSE]
AND WE WILL ALSO PROVIDE TAX
CREDITS TO BRING JOBS OUT OF
CHINA BACK TO AMERICA, AND WE
WILL IMPOSE TARIFFS ON ANY
COMPANY THAT LEAVES AMERICA TO
PRODUCE JOBS OVERSEAS.
[APPLAUSE]
WE WILL MAKE SURE OUR COMPANIES
AND JOBS STAY IN OUR COUNTRY, AS
I HAVE ALREADY BEEN DOING FOR
QUITE SOME TIME, IF YOU HAVE
NOTICED.
JOE BIDEN'S AGENDA IS MADE IN
CHINA.
MY AGENDA IS MADE IN THE USA.
[APPLAUSE]
[CHANTING "U.S.A."]
BIDEN HAS PROMISED TO ABOLISH
THE PRODUCTION OF AMERICAN OIL,
COAL, SHALE, AND NATURAL GAS,
LAYING WASTE TO THE ECONOMIES OF
PENNSYLVANIA, OHIO, TEXAS, NORTH
DAKOTA, OKLAHOMA, COLORADO, AND
NEW MEXICO, DESTROYING THOSE
STATES, ABSOLUTELY DESTROYING
THOSE STATES, AND OTHERS.
MILLIONS OF JOBS WILL BE LOST
AND ENERGY PRICES WILL SOAR.
THESE SAME POLICIES LEAD
TO CRIPPLING POWER OUTAGES IN
CALIFORNIA JUST LAST WEEK.
EVERYBODY SAW THAT.
TREMENDOUS POWER OUTAGE.
NO ONE HAS SEEN ANYTHING LIKE
IT, BUT WE SAW IT LAST WEEK IN
CALIFORNIA.
HOW CAN JOE BIDEN CLAIM TO BE AN
ALLY OF THE LIGHT WHEN HIS OWN
PARTY CAN'T EVEN KEEP THE LIGHTS
ON?
[APPLAUSE]
JOE BIDEN'S CAMPAIGN HAS EVEN
PUBLISHED A 110 PAGE POLICY
PLATFORM.
YOU CAN'T GET AWAY FROM THIS.
CO-AUTHORED WITH FAR-LEFT
SENATOR CRAZY BERNIE SANDERS.
THE BIDEN-BURNIE MANIFESTO CALLS
FOR REMOVALS OF --
PROVIDING ILLEGAL ALIENS WITH
FREE TAXPAYER-FUNDED LAWYERS.
EVERYBODY GETS A LAWYER.
COME OVER TO OUR COUNTRY,
EVERYBODY HAS A LAWYER.
THAT IS ALL WE NEED IS MORE
LAWYERS.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
JOE BIDEN RECENTLY RAISED HIS
HAND ON THE DEBATE STAGE AND
PROMISED HE WAS GOING TO GIVE IT
AWAY, YOUR HEALTH KILL DOLLARS,
TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, WHICH
WILL BRING MASSIVE NUMBERS OF
IMMIGRANTS INTO OUR COUNTRY,
MASSIVE NUMBERS WILL POUR INTO
OUR COUNTRY IN ORDER TO GET ALL
THE GOODIES THEY WANT TO GIVE.
EDUCATION, HEALTH CARE,
EVERYTHING.
HE ALSO SUPPORTS DEADLY
SANCTUARY CITIES THAT PROTECT
CRIMINAL ALIENS.
HE PROMISED TO END NATIONAL
SECURITY TRAVEL BANS FROM
JIHADIST NATIONS, AND HE PLEDGED
TO INCREASE REFUGEE ADMISSIONS
BY 700%.
THIS IS IN THE MANIFESTO.
THE BIDEN PLAN WOULD ELIMINATE
AMERICA'S BORDERS IN THE MIDDLE
OF A GLOBAL PANDEMIC, AND HE IS
EVEN TALKING ABOUT TAKING THE
WALL DOWN.
HOW ABOUT THAT?
[BOOING]
BIDEN ALSO VOWED TO OPPOSE
SCHOOL CHOICE AND CLOSE ALL
CHARTER SCHOOLS, RIPPING AWAY
THE LADDER OF OPPORTUNITY FOR
BLACK AND HISPANIC CHILDREN.
IN A SECOND TERM, I WILL
EXPAND CHARTER SCHOOLS AND
PROVIDE SCHOOL CHOICE FOR EVERY
FAMILY IN AMERICA.
[APPLAUSE]
AND WE WILL ALWAYS TREAT OUR
TEACHERS WITH THE TREMENDOUS
RESPECT THAT THEY DESERVE.
[APPLAUSE]
GREAT PEOPLE.
GREAT, GREAT PEOPLE.
JOE BIDEN CLAIMS HE HAS EMPATHY
FOR THE VULNERABLE, YET THE
PARTY HE LEADS SUPPORTS THE
EXTREME LATE-TERM ABORTION OF
DEFENSELESS BABIES, RIGHT UP
UNTIL THE MOMENT OF BIRTH.
DEMOCRAT LEADERS TALK ABOUT
MORAL DECENCY, BUT THEY HAVE NO
PROBLEM WITH STOPPING A BABY'S
BEATING HEART IN THE NINTH MONTH
OF PREGNANCY.
DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS REFUSED TO
PROTECT INNOCENT LIFE, THEN THEY
LECTURE US ABOUT MORALITY AND
SAVING AMERICA'S SOUL.
TONIGHT, WE PROUDLY DECLARE THAT
ALL CHILDREN BORN AND UNBORN
HAVE A GOD-GIVEN RIGHT TO LIFE.
[APPLAUSE]
DURING THE DEMOCRAT CONVENTION,
THE WORDS "UNDER GOD" WERE
REMOVED FROM THE PLEDGE OF
ALLEGIANCE.
NOT ONCE, BUT TWICE.
WE WILL NEVER DO THAT.
[APPLAUSE]
BUT THE FACT IS, THIS IS WHERE
THEY ARE COMING FROM.
LIKE IT OR NOT, THIS IS WHERE
THEY ARE COMING FROM.
IF THE LEFT GAINS POWER, THEY
WILL DEMOLISH THE SUBURBS,
CONFISCATE YOUR GUNS, AND
APPOINT JUSTICES WHO WILL WIPE
AWAY YOUR SECOND AMENDMENT AND
OTHER CONSTITUTIONAL FREEDOMS.
BIDEN IS A TROJAN HORSE FOR
SOCIALISM.
IF JOE BIDEN DOES NOT HAVE THE
STRENGTH TO STAND UP TO WILD
EYED MARXISTS LIKE BERNIE
SANDERS AND HIS FELLOW RADICALS,
AND THERE ARE MANY.
WE SEE THEM ALL THE TIME.
IT IS INCREDIBLE, ACTUALLY.
THEN HOW IS HE EVER GOING TO
STAND UP FOR YOU?
HE'S NOT.
THE MOST DANGEROUS ASPECT OF THE
BIDEN PLATFORM IS THE ATTACK ON
PUBLIC SAFETY.
THE BIDEN-BERNIE MANIFESTO CALLS
FOR DENYING CASH BAIL,
IMMEDIATELY RELEASING 400
THOUSAND CRIMINALS ONTO THE
STREETS AND INTO YOUR
NEIGHBORHOODS.
WHEN ASKED IF HE SUPPORTS
CUTTING POLICE FUNDING, JOE
BIDEN REPLIED, YES, ABSOLUTELY.
WHEN CONGRESSWOMAN ILHAN OMAR
CALLED THE MINNEAPOLIS POLICE
DEPARTMENT A CANCER THAT IS
ROTTEN TO THE ROOT, BIDEN WOULD
NOT DISAVOW HER SUPPORT AND
REJECT HER ENDORSEMENT.
HE PROUDLY DISPLAYED
IT LATER ON HIS WEBSITE.
DISPLAYED IT IN BIG LETTERS.
MAKE NO MISTAKE, IF YOU GIVE
POWER TO JOE BIDEN, THE RADICAL
LEFT WILL DEFUND POLICE
DEPARTMENTS ALL ACROSS AMERICA.
THEY WILL PASS FEDERAL
LEGISLATION TO REDUCE LAW
ENFORCEMENT NATIONWIDE.
THEY WILL MAKE EVERY CITY LOOK
LIKE DEMOCRAT RUN PORTLAND,
OREGON.
NO ONE WILL BE SAFE IN BIDEN'S
AMERICA.
MY ADMINISTRATION WILL ALWAYS
STAND WITH THE MEN AND WOMEN OF
LAW ENFORCEMENT.
[APPLAUSE]
EVERY DAY, POLICE OFFICERS RISK
THEIR LIVES TO KEEP US SAFE, AND
EVERY YEAR MANY SACRIFICE THEIR
LIVES IN THE LINE OF DUTY.
ONE OF THESE INCREDIBLE
AMERICANS WAS DETECTIVE FAMILIA.
SHE WAS PART OF A TEAM OF
AMERICAN HEROES CALLED THE NYPD,
OR NEW YORK'S FINEST, WHO I WAS
VERY PROUD TO GET THERE
ENDORSEMENT JUST THE OTHER DAY.
GREAT PEOPLE.
[APPLAUSE]
THEY WERE ALLOWED TO DO THEIR
JOB.
YOU HAVE NO CRIME IN NEW YORK.
RUDY GIULIANI KNOWS THAT BETTER
THAN ANYBODY.
THANK YOU, RUDY.
THREE YEARS AGO ON THE FOURTH OF
JULY WEEKEND, DETECTIVE FAMILIA
WAS ON DUTY IN HER VEHICLE WHEN
SHE WAS AMBUSHED JUST AFTER
MIDNIGHT AND MURDERED BY A
MONSTER WHO HATED HER PURELY FOR
WEARING THE BADGE.
DETECTIVE FAMILIA WAS A SINGLE
MOM.
SHE RECENTLY ASKED FOR THE NIGHT
SHIFT SO SHE COULD SPEND MORE
TIME WITH HER KIDS.
TWO YEARS AGO, I STOOD IN FRONT
OF THE U.S. CAPITOL ALONGSIDE
THOSE BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN AND
HELD THEIR GRANDMOTHER'S HAND AS
THEY MOURNED THE TERRIBLE LOSS.
AND WE HONORED DETECTIVE
FAMILIA'S EXTRAORDINARY LIFE.
IT WAS EXTRAORDINARY.
DETECTIVE FAMILIA'S THREE
CHILDREN ARE WITH US THIS
EVENING.
JANICE, PETER, DELILAH, WE ARE
SO GRATEFUL TO HAVE YOU HERE
TONIGHT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING.
[APPLAUSE]
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
[APPLAUSE]
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
[APPLAUSE]
I PROMISE YOU THAT WE WILL
TREASURE YOUR MOM IN OUR
MEMORIES FOREVER.
WE MUST REMEMBER THAT THE
OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF POLICE
OFFICERS IN THIS COUNTRY, AND
THAT IS THE OVERWHELMING
MAJORITY, ARE NOBLE, COURAGEOUS,
AND HONORABLE.
WE HAVE TO GIVE LAW ENFORCEMENT,
OUR POLICE, BACK THEIR POWER.
[APPLAUSE]
THEY ARE AFRAID TO ACT.
THEY ARE AFRAID TO LOSE THEIR
PENSION.
THEY ARE AFRAID TO LOSE THEIR
JOBS.
AND BY BEING AFRAID, THEY ARE
NOT ABLE TO DO THE JOB THAT THEY
SO DESPERATELY WANT TO DO FOR
YOU.
AND THOSE WHO SUFFER MOST ARE
THE GREAT PEOPLE WHO THEY
PROTECT AND WHO THEY WANT TO
PROTECT AT AN EVEN HIGHER LEVEL.
WHEN THERE IS POLICE MISCONDUCT,
THE JUSTICE SYSTEM MUST HOLD
WRONGDOERS COMPLETELY
ACCOUNTABLE, AND IT WILL.
BUT WHEN WE CAN NEVER HAVE A
SITUATION WHERE THINGS ARE GOING
ON AS THEY ARE TODAY, WE MUST
NEVER ALLOW MOB RULE.
WE CAN NEVER ALLOW MOB RULE.
[APPLAUSE]
AND IN THE STRONGEST POSSIBLE
TERMS, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
CONDEMNS THE RIOTING, LOOTING,
ARSON, AND VIOLENCE WE HAVE SEEN
IN DEMOCRAT RUN CITIES ALL, LIKE
KENOSHA, MINNEAPOLIS, PORTLAND,
CHICAGO, AND NEW YORK, AND MANY
OTHERS.
THERE IS VIOLENCE AND DANGER IN
THE STREETS OF MANY DEMOCRAT RUN
CITIES THROUGHOUT AMERICA.
THIS PROBLEM COULD EASILY BE
FIXED IF THEY WANTED TO.
JUST CALL, WE ARE READY TO GO
IN.
WE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOUR
PROBLEM IN A MATTER OF HOURS.
JUST CALL.
WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE CALL.
IT IS TOO BAD WE HAVE TO, BUT WE
HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE CALL.
WE MUST ALWAYS HAVE LAW & ORDER.
ALL FEDERAL CRIMES ARE
BEING INVESTIGATED AND PUNISHED
TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW.
WHEN THE ANARCHISTS STARTED
RIPPING DOWN OUR STATUES AND
MONUMENTS RIGHT OUTSIDE, I
SIGNED AN ORDER IMMEDIATELY, 10
YEARS IN PRISON, AND IT WAS A
MIRACLE.
IT ALL STOPPED.
NO MORE STATUES.
[APPLAUSE]
THEY SAID, THAT IS TOO LONG.
THEY SAID, 10 YEARS IN PRISON?
I THINK THAT IS TOO LONG.
LET'S GO HOME.
DURING THEIR CONVENTION, JOE
BIDEN AND HIS SUPPORTERS
REMAINED COMPLETELY SILENT ABOUT
THE RIOTERS AND CRIMINALS
SPREADING MAYHEM IN DEMOCRAT RUN
CITIES.
THEY NEVER EVEN MENTIONED IT
DURING THEIR ENTIRE CONVENTION.
NEVER ONCE MENTIONED.
NOW, THEY ARE STARTING TO
MENTION IT BECAUSE THEIR POLL
NUMBERS ARE GOING DOWN LIKE A
ROCK IN WATER.
[APPLAUSE]
IT IS TOO LATE, JOE.
IN THE FACE OF LEFT-WING
ANARCHY AND MAYHEM IN
MINNEAPOLIS, CHICAGO, AND
OTHERS, JOE BIDEN'S CAMPAIGN DID
NOT CONDEMN IT.
THEY DONATED TO IT.
AT LEAST 13 MEMBERS OF JOE
 BIDEN'S CAMPAIGN HAS
DONATED TO A FUND TO BAILOUT
VANDALS, ARSONS, AND ARCUS,
LOOTERS, AND WRITERS FROM JAIL
-- ANARCHISTS, LOOTERS, AND
RIOTERS FROM JAIL.
JOINING US IS AN EIGHT YEAR
VOTER AND OF THE ST. LOUIS
POLICE DEPARTMENT, A GREAT MAN
AND A HIGHLY RESPECTED MAN BY
ALL.
IN JUNE, CAPTAIN DORN WAS SHOT
AND KILLED AS HE TRIED TO
PROTECT A STORE FROM RIOTERS AND
LOOTERS.
OR AS THE DEMOCRATS WOULD CALL
THEM, PEACEFUL PROTESTERS.
THEY CALL THEM PEACEFUL
PROTESTERS.
WE ARE HONORED TO BE JOINED
TONIGHT BY HIS WONDERFUL WIFE
AND BELOVED FAMILY MEMBERS.
TO EACH OF YOU, WE WILL NEVER
FORGET THE HEROIC LEGACY OF
CAPTAIN DAVID DORN.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING
HERE.
[APPLAUSE]
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
GREAT MAN.
AS LONG AS I AM PRESIDENT, WE
WILL DEFEND THE ABSOLUTE RIGHT
OF EVERY AMERICAN CITIZEN TO
LIVE IN SECURITY, DIGNITY, AND
PEACE.
IF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY WANTS TO
STAND WITH ANARCHISTS,
AGITATORS, RIOTERS, LOOTERS, AND
FLAG BURNERS, THAT IS UP TO
THEM.
BUT I AS YOUR PRESIDENT WILL NOT
BE PART OF IT.
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WILL REMAIN
THE VOICE OF THE PATRIOTIC
HEROES WHO KEEP AMERICA SAFE AND
SALUTE THE AMERICAN FLAG.
'S [APPLAUSE]
--  [APPLAUSE]
LAST YEAR, OVER 1000
AFRICAN-AMERICANS WERE MURDERED
AS A RESULT OF VIOLENT CRIME IN
JUST FOUR DEMOCRAT RUN CITIES.
THE TOP 10 MOST DANGEROUS CITIES
IN THE COUNTRY ARE RUN BY
DEMOCRATS AND HAVE BEEN FOR MANY
DECADES.
THOUSANDS MORE AFRICAN-AMERICANS
ARE VICTIMS OF VIOLENT CRIME IN
THESE COMMUNITIES.
JOE BIDEN AND THE LEFT IGNORE
THESE AMERICAN VICTIMS.
I NEVER WILL HELP.
-- I NEVER WILL.
THEY WILL APPLY THEIR DISASTROUS
POLICIES TO EVERY TOWN, CITY,
AND SUBURBAN AMERICA.
IMAGINE IF THE SO-CALLED
PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATORS WERE IN
CHARGE OF EVERY LEVER OF POWER
IN THE U.S. GOVERNMENT.
JUST THINK OF THAT.
LIBERAL POLITICIAN'S CLAIM TO BE
CONCERNED ABOUT THE STRENGTH OF
AMERICAN INSTITUTIONS, BUT WHO
EXACTLY IS ATTACKING THEM?
WHO IS HIRING THE RADICAL
PROFESSORS, JUDGES, AND
PROSECUTORS?
WHO IS TRYING TO ABOLISH
IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT AND
ESTABLISH SPEECH CODES DESIGNED
TO MUZZLE DISSENT?
IN EVERY CASE, THE ATTACKS ON
AMERICAN INSTITUTIONS ARE BEING
WAGED BY RADICAL LEFT.
ALWAYS REMEMBER, THEY ARE COMING
AFTER ME BECAUSE I AM FIGHTING
FOR YOU.
THAT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING.
[APPLAUSE]
IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FROM BEFORE
I EVEN GOT ELECTED.
[APPLAUSE]
REMEMBER THIS, THEY SPIED ON MY
CAMPAIGN AND THEY GOT CAUGHT.
LET'S SEE NOW WHAT HAPPENS.
WE MUST RECLAIM OUR INDEPENDENCE
FROM THE LEFT'S REPRESSIVE
MANDATES.
AMERICANS ARE EXHAUSTED, TRYING
TO KEEP UP WITH THE LATEST LISTS
OF APPROVED WORDS AND PHRASES,
AND THE EVER MORE RESTRICTIVE
POLITICAL DECREES.
MANY THINGS HAVE A DIFFERENT
NAME NOW, AND THE ROLES ARE
CONSTANTLY CHANGING -- AND THE
RULES ARE CONSTANTLY CHANGING.
THE IDEA OF CANCEL
CULTURE IS TO MAKE AMERICANS
SHAMED, HUMILIATED, AND DRIVEN
FROM SOCIETY AS WE KNOW IT.
THE FAR-LEFT WANTS TO COERCE YOU
INTO SAYING WHAT YOU KNOW TO BE
FALSE AND SCARE YOU OUT OF
SAYING WHAT YOU KNOW TO BE TRUE.
VERY SAD.
BUT ON NOVEMBER 3, YOU CAN SEND
THEM A VERY THUNDERING MESSAGE
THEY WILL NEVER FORGET.
[APPLAUSE]
THANK YOU.
[CHANTING "FOUR MORE YEARS"]
JOE BIDEN IS WEAK.
HE TAKES HIS MARCHING ORDERS
FROM LIBERAL HYPOCRITES WHO
DRIVE THEIR CITIES WHILE FLEEING
FROM THE SCENE OF THE WRECKAGE.
THE SAME LIBERALS WANT TO
ELIMINATE SCHOOL CHOICE WHILE
THEY ENROLL THEIR CHILDREN INTO
THE FINEST PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN
THE LAND.
THEY WANT TO OPEN THE BORDERS
WHILE LIVING IN WALDORF
COMPOUNDS AND COMMUNITIES AND
THE BEST NEIGHBORHOODS IN THE
WORLD.
THEY WANT TO DEFUND THE POLICE
WHILE THEY HAVE ARMED GUARDS FOR
THEMSELVES.
THIS NOVEMBER, WE MUST TURN THE
PAGE FOREVER ON THIS FAILED
POLITICAL CLASS.
THE FACT IS, I AM HERE.
[APPLAUSE]
WHAT IS THE NAME OF THAT
BUILDING?
[APPLAUSE]
THE FACT IS, WE ARE HERE AND
THEY ARE NOT.
[APPLAUSE]
TO ME, ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL
BUILDINGS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD
IS NOT A BUILDING, IT IS A HOME,
AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED.
NOT EVEN A HOUSE, IT IS A HOME.
WONDERFUL PLACE WITH AN
INCREDIBLE HISTORY.
BUT IT IS ALL BECAUSE OF YOU.
TOGETHER, WE WILL WRITE THE NEXT
CHAPTER OF THE GREAT AMERICAN
STORY.
OVER THE NEXT FOUR YEARS, WE
WILL MAKE AMERICA INTO THE
MANUFACTURING SUPERPOWER OF THE
WORLD.
WE WILL EXPAND OPPORTUNITY
ZONES.
THANK YOU, TIM SCOTT.
BRING HOME OUR MEDICAL SUPPLY
CHAINS, AND WE WILL GO RIGHT
AFTER CHINA.
WE WILL NOT RELY ON THEM ONE
BIT.
WE ARE TAKING OUR BUSINESS OUT
OF CHINA.
WE ARE BRINGING IT HOME.
WE WANT OUR BUSINESS TO COME
HOME.
WE WILL CONTINUE TO REDUCE TAXES
AND REGULATIONS AT LEVELS NOT
SEEN BEFORE.
WE WILL CREATE 10 MILLION JOBS
IN THE NEXT 10 MONTHS.
AND IT WILL BE HIGHER THAN THAT.
WE WILL HIRE MORE POLICE,
INCREASE PENALTIES FOR ASSAULTS
ON LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND SURGE
FEDERAL PROSECUTORS INTO HIGH
CRIME COMMUNITIES.
WE WILL BAN DEADLY SANCTUARY
CITIES AND ENSURE FEDERAL HEALTH
CARE IS PROTECTED FOR AMERICAN
CITIZENS, NOT FOR ILLEGAL
ALIENS.
[APPLAUSE]
WE WILL HAVE STRONG BORDERS.
I HAVE SAID FOR YEARS, WITHOUT
BORDERS, WE DON'T HAVE A
COUNTRY.
WE DON'T HAVE A COUNTRY.
STRIKE DOWN TERRORISTS WHO
THREATEN OUR PEOPLE AND KEEP
AMERICA OUT OF ENDLESS AND
COSTLY FOREIGN WARS.
[APPLAUSE]
WE WILL APPOINT PROSECUTORS,
JUDGES, JUSTICES WHO BELIEVE IN
ENFORCING THE LAW, NOT ENFORCING
THEIR OWN POLITICAL AGENDA.
WHICH IS ILLEGAL.
WE WILL ENSURE EQUAL JUSTICE FOR
CITIZENS OF EVERY RACE, RELIGION
, COLOR, AND CREED.
WE WILL UPHOLD YOUR RELIGIOUS
LIBERTY AND DEFEND YOUR SECOND
AMENDMENT RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR
ARMS.
[APPLAUSE]
AND IF WE DON'T WIN, YOUR SECOND
AMENDMENT DOESN'T HAVE A CHANCE,
I CAN TELL YOU THE.
I HAVE TOTALLY PROTECTED IT.
WE WILL PROTECT MEDICARE AND
SOCIAL SECURITY.
WE WILL ALWAYS AND VERY STRONGLY
PROTECT PATIENTS WITH
PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS, AND
THAT IS A PLEDGE FROM THE ENTIRE
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
THANK YOU.
[APPLAUSE]
WE WILL END SURPRISE MEDICAL
BILLING, REQUIRE PRICE
TRANSPARENCY, AND FURTHER REDUCE
THE COST OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS
AND HEALTH INSURANCE PREMIUMS.
THEY ARE COMING WAY DOWN.
WE WILL GREATLY EXPAND ENERGY
DEVELOPMENT, CONTINUING TO
REMAIN THE NUMBER ONE IN THE
WORLD, AND KEEP AMERICA ENERGY
INDEPENDENT.
[APPLAUSE]
AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO STILL
DRIVE A CAR, LOOK HOW LOW YOUR
GASOLINE BILL IS.
YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THAT IN A LONG
TIME.
WE WILL WIN THE RACE TO 5G AND
BUILD THE WORLD'S BEST CYBER AND
MISSILE-DEFENSE, ALREADY UNDER
CONSTRUCTION.
WE WILL FULLY RESTORE PATRIOTIC
EDUCATION TO OUR SCHOOLS AND
ALWAYS PROTECT -- WE WILL ALWAYS
PROTECT FREE SPEECH ON COLLEGE
CAMPUSES.
[APPLAUSE]
AND WE PUT A VERY BIG PENALTY IN
IF THEY DO ANYTHING HAVING TO DO
WITH YOUR FREE SPEECH.
COLLEGES HAVE TO PAY A
TREMENDOUS, TREMENDOUS FINANCIAL
PENALTY.
AGAIN, IT IS AMAZING HOW OPEN
THEY HAVE BEEN LATELY.
WE WILL LAUNCH A NEW AGE OF
AMERICAN AMBITION IN SPACE.
AMERICA WILL LAND THE FIRST
WOMAN ON THE MOON, AND THE
UNITED STATES WILL BE THE FIRST
NATION TO PLANT ITS BEAUTIFUL
FLAG ON MARS.
[APPLAUSE]
THIS IS THE UNIFYING NATIONAL
AGENDA THAT WILL BRING OUR
COUNTRY TOGETHER.
SO TONIGHT, I SAY TO ALL
AMERICANS, THIS IS THE MOST
IMPORTANT ELECTION IN THE
HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY.
THERE HAS NEVER BEEN SUCH A
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWO PARTIES
OR TWO INDIVIDUALS IN
IDEOLOGY, PHILOSOPHY, OR VISION
THAN THERE IS RIGHT NOW.
OUR OPPONENTS BELIEVE AMERICA IS
A DEPRAVED NATION.
WE WANT OUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS
TO KNOW THE TRUTH.
AMERICA IS THE GREATEST AND MOST
EXCEPTIONAL NATION IN THE
HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
[APPLAUSE]
OUR COUNTRY WASN'T BUILT BY
CANCEL CULTURE, SPEECH CODES,
AND CRUSHING CONFORMITY.
WE ARE NOT A NATION OF TIMID
SPIRITS.
WE ARE A NATION OF FIERCE,
PROUD, AND INDEPENDENT AMERICAN
PATRIOTS.
WE ARE A NATION OF PILGRIMS,
PIONEERS, ADVENTURERS,
EXPLORERS, AND TRAILBLAZERS WHO
REFUSE TO BE TIED DOWN, HELD
BACK, OR IN ANY WAY REINED IN.
AMERICANS HAVE STEEL IN THEIR
SPINES, GRIDS IN THEIR SOULS,
AND FIRE IN THEIR HEARTS.
THERE IS NO ONE LIKE US ON
EARTH.
I WANT EVERY CHILD IN AMERICA TO
KNOW THAT YOU ARE PART OF THE
MOST EXCITING AND INCREDIBLE
ADVENTURE IN HUMAN HISTORY.
NO MATTER WHERE YOUR FAMILY
COMES FROM, NO MATTER YOUR
BACKGROUND IN AMERICA, ANYONE
CAN RISE WITH HARD WORK,
DEVOTION, AND DRIVE.
YOU CAN REACH ANY GOAL AND
ACHIEVE EVERY AMBITION.
OUR AMERICAN ANCESTORS SAILED
ACROSS THE PERILOUS OCEAN TO
BUILD A NEW LIFE ON A NEW
CONTINENT.
THEY BRAVED THE FREEZING
WINTERS, CROSSED THE
RAGING RIVERS, SCALED THE ROCKY
PEAKS, TRACKED THE DANGEROUS
FORESTS, AND WORKED FROM DAWN
TILL DUSK.
THESE PIONEERS DID NOT HAVE
MONEY.
THEY DIDN'T HAVE FAME.
BUT THEY HAD EACH OTHER.
THEY LOVED THEIR FAMILIES, THEY
LOVED THEIR COUNTRY, AND THEY
LOVED THEIR GOD.
WHEN OPPORTUNITY BECKONED,
THEY PICKED UP THEIR BIBLES,
PACKED UP THEIR BELONGINGS,
CLIMBED INTO THEIR COVERED
WAGONS, AND SET OUT WEST FOR THE
NEXT ADVENTURE.
RANCHERS AND MINERS, COWBOYS AND
SHERIFFS, FARMERS AND SETTLERS.
THEY PRESSED ON PAST THE
MISSISSIPPI TO STAKE A CLAIM IN
THE WILD FRONTIER.
LEGENDS WERE BORN.
WYATT EARP, ANNIE OAKLEY, DAVEY
CORRECTED, AND -- DAVEY
CROCKETT, AND BUFFALO BILL.
AMERICANS BUILT THEIR HOMESTEADS
ON THE OPEN RANGE.
SOON, THEY HAD CHURCHES AND
COMMUNITIES, THEN TOWNS, AND
WITH TIME GREAT CENTERS OF
INDUSTRY AND COMMERCE.
THAT IS WHO THEY WERE.
AMERICANS BUILD THEIR FUTURE.
WE DON'T TEAR DOWN OUR PAST.
[APPLAUSE]
WE ARE THE NATION THAT WON A
REVOLUTION, TOPPLE TYRANNY AND
FASCISM, AND DELIVER MILLIONS
INTO FREEDOM.
WE LAID DOWN THE RAILROADS,
BUILT THE GREAT SHIPS, RAISED UP
THE SKYSCRAPERS, REVOLUTIONIZED
INDUSTRY, AND SPARKED A NEW AGE
OF SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY.
WE SET THE TRENDS IN ART AND
MUSIC, RADIO AND FOAM, -- RADIO
AND FILM, SPORT AND LITERATURE.
WE DID IT WITH STYLE AND
CONFIDENCE AND FLAIR BECAUSE
THAT IS WHO WE ARE.
WHENEVER OUR WAY OF LIFE WAS
THREATENED, OUR HEROES ANSWERED
THE CALL, FROM YORKTOWN TO
GETTYSBURG, FROM NORMANDY TO IWO
JIMA.
AMERICAN PATRIOTS RACED INTO
CANNON BLASTS, BULLETS, AND
BAYONETS TO RESCUE AMERICAN
LIBERTY.
THEY HAD NO FEAR, BUT AMERICA
DID NOT STOP THERE.
WE LOOKED INTO THE SKY AND KEPT
PRESSING ONWARD.
WE BUILT A 6 MILLION POUND
ROCKET AND LAUNCHED IT THOUSANDS
OF MILES INTO SPACE.
WE DID IT SO TWO BRAVE PATRIOTS
COULD STAND TALL AND SALUTE OUR
 WONDROUS AMERICAN FLAG
PLANTED ON THE FACE OF THE MOON.
FOR AMERICA, NOTHING IS
IMPOSSIBLE.
OVER THE NEXT FOUR YEARS, WE
WILL PROVE WORTHY OF THIS
MAGNIFICENT LEGACY.
WE WILL REACH STUNNING NEW
HEIGHTS, AND WE WILL SHOW THE
WORLD THAT FOR AMERICA THERE IS
A DREAM, AND IT IS NOT BEYOND
YOUR REACH.
TOGETHER, WE ARE UNSTOPPABLE.
TOGETHER, WE ARE UNBEATABLE.
BECAUSE TOGETHER, WE ARE THE
PROUD CITIZENS OF THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA.
[APPLAUSE]
ON NOVEMBER 3, WE WILL MAKE
AMERICA SAFER.
WE WILL MAKE AMERICA STRONGER.
WE WILL MAKE AMERICA PROUDER.
AND WE WILL MAKE AMERICA GREATER
THAN EVER BEFORE.
I AM VERY PROUD TO BE THE
NOMINEE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
I LOVE YOU ALL.
GOD BLESS YOU, AND GOD BLESS
AMERICA.
