>> ANNOUNCER: Please welcome a
retired United States Army
Lieutenant, Mike Flynn.
>> I don't know how you all -- M
Melania Trump, whose going to be
the next first lady of the
United States the of America.
Another big round of applause
for
 her.
>> MIKE: Unbelievable.
What an exciting -- I'm here
tonight as a determined American
who loves our country.
And my message to you is very
clear.
Wake
 up, America.
There is no substitute for
American leadership and
exceptionalism.
America should not fear
enemies.
In fact, we should clearly
define our enemies.
Face them head on.
And defeat those that seek to
turn our country and our way
 of
lifeful.
That's right.
Good for you.
Tonight, we stand together as
proud patriots who dearly love
our country and believe in
freedom, democracy, and
liberty.
[ cheering ]
>> MIKE: USA, you're darn
right.
Get it going.
USA,
 USA.
USA.
Get fired up.
This is about this country.
This is about the future of our
children.
We know that America, our
nation, is the greatest country
in the history of the world.
[ clapping ]
>> MIKE: There will never be a
substitute for America.
And let us say our country holds
a unique place and role in
America
 American history and
exceptionalism.
It will never fade.
It is up to us.
And you cannot sit this election
out.
I stand with you as a citizen, a
veteran, a patriot, but more
importantly, as an American to
tell you
 that the path -- in the
interest of other nations ahead
of our own will end when Donald
Trump is President.
[ cheering and applause ]
>> MIKE: Trump, Trump, Trump.
There you go.
[ chanting "Trump" ]
>> MIKE: From this day forward,
we must stand tougher and
stronger together with
 an
unrelenting goal to -- and to
never be satisfied with --
Obama -- like Hillary Clinton.
[ cheering and applause ]
>> MIKE: We must draw from the
rich foundation of our founding
fathers' fight for
 democracy,
and lead friends and allies with
more determination than ever
before, with conviction in our
beliefs that pierces through the
ideology of any people or any
nation that attacks America,
America's way of life, and our
proud heritage of fearlessness
and courage.
[ cheering and applause ]
>> MIKE: Tonight, Americans
stand as one, with strength and
confidence to overcome the last
eight years of the
 Obama/Clinton
failures, such as bumbling
indecisiveness, ignorance, and
total incompetence that
challenged the very heart and
soul of every American and
single-handedly continued
mayhem, murder, and destruction
in our neighborhoods and on the
streets.
[ cheering and applause ]
>> MIKE: On this day, we start
the beginning of a new American
sanctuary, a time when we turn
our heads forward with
persistent and relentless focus,
and -- our communities, our
families, and our country, our
feet firmly planted on the
ground, and by holding
individuals accountable for
their actions, equally and
fairly.
Our new American century does
not risk its future on political
correctness and senseless
hyperbole.
[ cheering and applause ]
>> MIKE: Exactly.
Exactly.
[ cheering and applause ]
>> MIKE: USA.
You've got it.
That's exactly right.
It's about this country.
That's right.
The time is
 now.
The time is now to recognize our
obligation that we have to the
world, an obligation to lead the
world with un-waiverring
integrity,
 and unapologetic
resolve.
With Donald Trump in the White
House, we will make America
great again!
[ cheering and applause ]
>> Damn right.
America's one traditional,
undisputed role as world leader
is now in jeopardy.
It's in jeopardy, folks.
The Obama/Clinton duo failed our
country by -- America's -- and
betraying our nation's history
and our founding fathers'
revolutionary spirit that
established America on the
principles of freedom and
democracy.
American exceptional itch was
 --
exceptionalism was a core
principle.
The United States said, our
battles -- on this doctrine, we
led the Allies to victory in
World War II, against Nazi
Germany.
[ cheering and applause ]
>> MIKE: USA, USA, USA.
God help us.
Get fired up.
[ chanting "USA" ]
>> MIKE: You are right.
I love it.
We are the first country to put
a man on the moon.
We ended the Cold War.
We ended a war.
And we stopped.
We stopped communism.
We stopped communism's quest for
world domination.
As Ronald Reagan
 said, and I
quote, "If we lose freedom here,
there is no place to escape
to."
This is the last stand on
Earth.
[ cheering and applause ]
>> MIKE: USA.
I love it.
Great.
[ chanting "USA " ]
>> MIKE: A centerpiece of
American foreign policy was once
the protection of the United
States and its people and
interests in the world.
Sadly, under the current
leadership, that is no longer
the case.
This cannot stand, period.
[ cheering and applause ]
>> MIKE: We must recognize
America has enemies in the
homeland and abroad.
And our military needs to be
capable of protecting the nation
by finding and capturing our
enemies.
The President must have the
tools to deal with all threats
to this country, and must have
guts to put them into action
whenever necessary.
[ cheering and applause ]
>> MIKE: And Donald Trump is
that leader!
[ cheering and applause ]
>> MIKE: And I'm going to say
that again.
Donald Trump is the that
leader!
[ cheering and applause ]
>> MIKE: We must regain our
ability to thoroughly crush our
enemies.
Our soldiers
 deserve to hear
from their leaders with clarity
and precision.
Too often -- way too often --
our troops are instead
distracted by trivial matters,
trivial matters of our words,
what terminology is politically
correct, and what bathroom door
to open up.
[ cheering and applause ]
>> MIKE: My God.
My God.
War is not in about bathrooms.
War is not about political
correctness, or words that are
meaningless.
War is about winning.
War is about winning.
[ cheering and applause ]
>> MIKE: There is no substitute.
There is no such thing as a
runner-up.
And there are no consolation
prizes.
A commander in chief does not
draw red lines and retreat.
[ cheering and applause ]
>> MIKE: America does not back
down from anyone or anything.
[ cheering and applause ]
>> MIKE: That's right.
USA, USA, USA.
You've got it right, baby.
That is exactly right.
Get fired up.
[ chanting "USA" ]
>> MIKE: This is about this
country.
It's about our country.
We are tired of Obama's end
speeches and his misguided
rhetoric.
This has caused the world to
have no respect for America's
word, nor does it fear our
might.
Let me be clear.
Coddling and displays of empathy
towards terrorists is not a
strategy for defeating these
murderers, as Obama and Hillary
Clinton would like us to
believe.
[ cheering and applause ]
>> MIKE: Releasing terrorists
will not end this war.
[ cheering and applause ]
>> MIKE: On the contrary, it
simply emboldens the terrorists
and it prolongs the war.
Under Barack Obama, we have no
coherent strategy to protect our
citizens.
And under Hillary Clinton, it
will be more of the same.
You've got it right.
I'm
 infuriated when our
President bans criticism of our
enemy.
I'm dead certain that we cannot
win this war unless we are free
to call enemies by name --
radical Islamists and failed
tyrants!
[ cheering and applause ]
>> MIKE: Because
 Obama's
ill-advised actions, the world
lost faith in American
leaderships,
 leadership, radical
Islam
 is developing across the
world.
A complete lack of being age
able to face multiple fronts.
Untold cyber threats.
A struggling United States
economy unable to compete with a
burgeoning Chinese economy.
Growing
 nuclear capabilities.
Russia and North Korea.
And a lack of respect and
confidence around the globe.
We have become the best enemies
and worst friends.
And I'm going to say that
again.
We have become the best enemies
and the worst friend.
That has to change.
[ cheering and applause ]
>> MIKE: The next four years
will become -- the perils we
face, and the so-called reset
buttons -- failure.
The Obama/Clinton failed foreign
policy list goes on, and on, and
on.
We need a commander in chief who
understands these challenges and
is willing to do whatever it
takes to meet them head-on.
Our adversaries must never mock
American will power.
And we must never give them a
reason to doubt our resolve to
win.
[ cheering and applause ]
>> MIKE: Thank you.
The most damaging example of the
President's failure to
understand the consequences of
putting political expediency
ahead of national security is
the emergence of ISIS.
We cannot continue down this
path.
Lives are at stake.
Our very life -- way of life is
in jeopardy.
Our very existence is
threatened.
What keeps me up at night?
What keeps me up at night is the
sobering realization that evil
exists.
The radicalization of Islam and
barbaric cause
 that influences
potentially millions in the
world to join their cause should
keep us all up at night.
We must -- must -- take
seriously the possibility that
these enemies have weapons of
mass destruction and intend to
use them.
That is a very serious issue.
We must understand and define
our enemies if we intend to
defeat them.
America and Americans deserve no
less.
Because Obama chose to conceal
the actions of terrorists, with
Osama and the rise of radical
Islam, Americans are at a loss
to fully understand the enormous
threat that they pose against
us.
Now is the time for our -- a
leader that is honest and
strong.
[ cheering ]
>> MIKE: That's exactly right.
A leader who will stand up for
America and make -- there you
go.
And make absolutely clear that
if you cross her path, you will
pay a price.
[ cheering and applause ]
>> MIKE: You've got it.
We do not need a weak,
 spineless
President who is more concerned
about making apologies than
presenting protecting
Americans.
We do not need a reckless
president who believes she is
above the law.
[ cheering and applause ]
>> MIKE: Lock her up.
That's right.
That's right.
Lock her up.
It's unbelievable.
[ chanting "lock her up" ]
>> MIKE: Yeah.
I use #neverHillary.
That's what I use.
I have called on Hillary
Clinton.
I have called on Hillary Clinton
to drop out of the race, because
she put our nation's security at
extremely high risk with their
careless use of private email
servers.
Lock her up.
[ chanting "lock her up " ]
>> MIKE: You guys are good.
Damn right.
Exactly right.
There's nothing wrong with
that.
[ chanting
 "lock her up "[.
>> MIKE: And you know why we're
saying that?
We're saying that because if I,
a guy who knows this business,
if I did a tenth of what she
did, I would be in jail today.
So, Crooked Hillary Clinton,
leave this race now.
[ cheering and applause ]
>> MIKE: She needs to go.
[ chanting
 "lock her up " ]
>> MIKE: Before I
 end, I will
repeat my belief that American
exceptionalism is very real.
Let us not fear what we know to
be true.
Let us not fear what we know to
be true.
Instead, we should always
remember that our country -- our
country -- was built upon Judeo
Christian values and principles.
[ cheering and applause ]
>> MIKE: And let us remember the
sacrifice of those who have gone
before us.
America is unique.
America is the greatest country
in the history of the
 world.
[ cheering ]
>> MIKE: You're darn right.
So get ready, America.
Get ready.
Now is the time for fresh, bold
leadership.
[ cheering and applause ]
>> MIKE: Trump, trump, Trump.
Let's go, come
 on.
[ chanting "Trump " ]
>> MIKE: We are just beginning.
I promise you that Donald Trump,
Donald Trump, knows that the
primary role of the president is
to keep us safe.
[ cheering and applause ]
>> MIKE: He recognizes the
threats we face, and is not
afraid to call them what they
are.
Donald Trump's leadership,
decision-making, and
problem-solving abilities will
restore America's role as
undeniable and unquestioned
world leader.
[ cheering and applause ]
>> MIKE: He will lead from the
front, not behind.
He will lead with courage.
Never vacillating when facing
our enemies or competitors.
And he knows that the advantage
advantage -- Donald Trump knows
that the advantage in life, in
business, and in wartime goes to
the competitor that does not
flinch and does not broadcast
his game plan.
[ cheering and applause ]
>> MIKE: Hey.
Don Trump, execute the
fundamental tenet of peace
through strength.
And there will
 be no apologies
for our American exceptionalism
or leadership standing around
the world.
[ cheering and applause ]
>> MIKE: Once
 again, once again,
wake up, America.
You cannot sit this one out.
You cannot sit this election
out.
Get out of your houses and get
out there and vote.
And instead, let Donald Trump,
as the next President of the
United States of America, thank
