 
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. 
>> I HAVE SAID IT OVER AND OVER 
AGAIN AND THEN AGAIN. 
>> READ MY LIPS. 
>> WORKING FOR A SPECIAL 
INTEREST. 
I DON'T WORK FOR MYSELF. 
I WORK FOR YOU. 
>> CONGRATULATIONS, DAD. 
WE LOVE. 
, KNOWS THE SYSTEM 
BETTER THAN ME WHICH IS WHY I 
ALONE CAN FIX IT. 
>> AND A GOOD EVENING. 
I'M CHUCK TODD AND WELCOME TO 
NBC NEWS. 
SPECIAL COVERAGE OF WEEK TWO OF 
THE POLITICAL CONVENTION THAT 
THIS WEEK IS THE 2020 POLITICAL 
NATIONAL CONVENTION E ON NBC NE 
NOW. 
WE ARE JUST ABOUT 30 MINUTES 
FROM THE START OF NIGHT ONE OF 
THE CONVENTION, REPUBLICANS 
WILL BE STARTING A HALF HOUR 
EARLIER THAN THE DEMOCRATS. 
THE PARTY IS ALREADY 
RENOMINATED. 
DOWN TO OFFICIAL BUSINESS AND 
NOMINATED THEIR INCUMBENT 
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND HIS 
INCUMBENT RUNNING MATE VICE 
PRESIDENT CUMIKE PENCE FOR A 
SECOND TERM. 
IT HAPPENED THIS MORNING. 
JUST LIKE THE LAST CONVENTION 
THIS IS UNUSUAL. 
POSITION OF THE MAJOR SPEECHES 
WILL BE DELIVERED NOT IN SINORT 
CAROLINA OR JACKSONVILLE BUT IN 
WASHINGTON D.C. AND AT A VENUE 
NEAR THE WHITE HOUSE THE 
PRESIDENT WILL DELIVER ITS 
CONVENTION ADDRESS AT THE WHITE 
HOUSE ON THURSDAY. 
SOME OVER NO PRESIDENT HAS DONE 
IN THE MODERN ERA. 
FDR ACCEPTED IT NOT %BEING AT 
THE CONVENTION AND NOMINEES 
USUALLY WAIT UNTIL THE LAST 
NIGHT TO SPEAK. 
BUT PRESIDENT TRUMP ADDRESSED 
DELEGATES EARLIER TODAY. 
WHEN THEY VOTED ON HIS 
RENOMINATION THIS AFTERNOON. 
MORE REON THOSE REMARKS AND 
EXPECT HIM TO SPEAK EVERY DAY 
OF THIS CONVENTION AND EXPECT 
TO SEE HIM TONIGHT. 
>> 
REPUBLICANS ARE NOT, REPEAT 
NOT ADOPTING A NEW PLATFORM AT 
THIS CONVENTION. 
PLATFORMS TYPICALLY SERVE AS 
FOUNDATIONAL SET OF PRINCIPLES 
EVEN WHEN NOMINEES ARE RUNNING 
FOR RE-ELECTION AND ADOPTING A 
RESOLUTION THAT SIGNALS THAT 
THEY SEE THE FOUNDATION OF THE 
PARTY AS MR. TRUMP HIMSELF. 
IN SUPPORTING EVERYTHING ON HIS 
AGENDA. 
AMONG THE NOTABLE SPEAKERS ARE 
SUSAN KOMEN SOUTH CAROLINA  IN 
THE HOUSE NIKKI HALEY AND JIM 
SCOTT AND THAT FAMILY MEMBER 
TONIGHT IS DONALD TRUMP, JR. AS 
REPUBLICANS KICK OFF THEY HOPE 
TO HAVE A COME BACK FOR THE 
CAMPAIGN AS POLLS SHOW THEM 
TRAILING THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE 
JOE BIDEN. 
THE LAST TIME AN INCUMBENT 
TRAILED WAS TIGEORGE HW BUSH WA 
1992. 
JOINING ME FROM DOWNTOWN 
WASHINGTON THE LOCATION OF 
SEVERAL SPECIES SHAND THE REST  
THE WEEK IS MY COLLEAGUE HALLY 
JACKSON. 
I WOULD SAY GIVE US A PREVIEW 
TONIGHT BUT IT SEEMS TO ME AND 
WE HAVE ALREADY LEARNED A 
LESSON. 
JASON MILLER TOLD ME ON AIR 
UPBEAT AND OPTIMISTIC 
CONVENTION. 
AND THEN PRESIDENT TRUMP'S 
INITIAL REMARKS WERE HARD TO 
CLASSIFY AS UPBEAT AND 
OPTIMISTIC. 
WE KNOW WHAT THE INTENTION IS 
SO TELL US WHAT THE INTENTION 
IS. 
>> IT IS JUST THAT. 
ASPIRATIONAL OPTIMISM AND 
LOOKING AT A PATH FORWARD. 
THE REALITY AT LEAST FROM WHAT 
WE HEARD FROM THE PRESIDENT ON 
DAY ONE THIS GRIEVANCES AND FAL 
CLAIMS. 
THAT IS WHAT WE HEARD FROM 
PRESIDENT TRUMP WHEN HE VISITED 
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA AND 
DELIVERED THAT NO TELEPROMPTER 
ALMOST AB LIBBED IN LIMANY PART 
SPEECH THROUGH THE LIMITED 
NUMBER OF DELEGATES IN 
CHARLOTTE. 
THE PRESIDENT SET THE TONE AND 
SET THE STAGE FOR PRTONIGHT IF 
YOU WILL BUT I DO THINK THERE 
WILL BE SOME MOMENTS TONIGHT. 
AND OVERALL METHE CAMPAIGN IS 
HOPING THAT TONIGHT PEOPLE WILL 
GET A SENSE OF THAT 
ASPIRATIONAL MESSAGE. 
WILL THERE BE DISCUSSIONS OF 
WHAT  BOFFICIALS AND SOURCES AR 
TELLING US ARE THE FAILURES AS 
THEY DESCRIBE IT OF WHAT WOULD 
BE ABIDEN, HARRIS TICKET? 
OF COURSE. 
THERE WILL BE A ATTACK LINE 
COMING FROM DONALD TRUMP, JR. 
LATER, THE PRESIDENT'S SON THAT 
PLAYS THAT TOP DOG ROLE ON THE 
CAMPAIGN TRAIL AND EMOTIONAL 
MOMENTS. 
I WILL TELL EMYOU HAVE THE LESS 
HIGH PROFILE SPEAKERS THERE IS 
EVERY  DAY AMERICANS BEING 
FOCUSED FOR THE REPUBLICANS 
THIS WEEK THAT WILL GIVE WHAT 
THE CAMPAIGNS TO BE EMOTIONAL 
SET OF REMARKS. 
ONE WOMAN, NATALIE PARK THAT 
WILL TALK ABOUT THE RIGHT TO 
TRY LAW AND A CANCER SURVIVER 
AND THE MCCLOSKEYS, A COUPLE, 
THE ST. LOUIS COUPLE THAT 
PULLED GUNS ON BLACK LIVES 
MATTER PROTESTORS ON THEIR 
PROPERTY AND A SPEECH THAT WILL 
RESONATE WITH PEOPLE LIKELY 
BECAUSE THAT IS THE FANNING OF 
THE FLAME THAT THE PRESIDENT 
LIKES TO DO AND A STATE 
DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATIVE FROM 
GEORGIA, A BLACK REPRESENTATIVER
WHO IS A DEMOCRAT THAT WILL BE 
SUPPORTING DONALD TRUMP. 
BIG NAMES WE  
TALKED ABOUT DONALD TRUMP, JR. 
AND ONE OF HIS -- SOMETHING 
FAMILIAR WITH HITHE PLANNING OF 
THIS SAYS PEOPLE THAT MAY BE 
SURPRISED BY DON, JR. SPEECH 
THAT IT IS A SERIOUS SPEECH. 
IN THE WORD OF ONE NAILED JOE 
BIDEN AND WILL TALK PRESIDENT 
POPPALLOUS UNDER PINS AND YOU 
HAVE NIKKI HALEY, THE FORMER 
CABINET MEMBER FOR PRESIDENT 
TRUMP AND FORMER SOUTH CAROLINA 
GOVERNOR AND THIS IS 
INTERESTING. 
CHUCK, YOU KNOW THIS, SHE HAS 
LONG BEEN THE SUBJECT OF RUMORS 
AND SPECULATIONS THAT 
POTENTIALLY SHE COULD REPLACE 
MIKE PENCE ON THE TICKET AND AS 
OF TODAY THAT OFFICIAL AIN'T 
GOING TO HAPPEN, RIGHT? 
BUT SHE DID GET A PRIME 
SPEAKING SPOT BEFORE SENATOR 
TIM SCOTT OF SOUTH CAROLINA 
THAT WILL TALK ABOUT FOR 
EXAMPLE, HOW THE PRESIDENT IS 
IN THE EYES OF TIM SCOTT A 
REPUBLICAN LIFTED PEOPLE OUT OF 
POVERTY AND HAVE DONE A LOT TO 
HELP THE BLACK COMMUNITY. 
>> THERE MAY BE THREE FUTURE 
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES 
SPEAKING. 
DONALD TRUMP, JR., TIM SCOTT. 
>> YES. 
EXACTLY. 
THERE'S QUITE A FEW POTENTIAL 
PEOPLE NOT ATTENDING BUT 
TONIGHT THERE IS THREE TO KEEP 
AN EYE ON AND WATCH FOR THOSE 
REASONS IF YOU WANT TO WATCH 
THOSE FOLKS AS WELL. 
HALEY JACKSON GETTING US 
STARTED. 
THANK YOU. 
LET'S GO TO THE BIG BOARD WHERE 
STEVE KURKNACKY IS STANDING BY. 
NO REPUBLICAN HAS TRAILED BY AS 
MUCH AS DONALD TRUMP SINCE 
GEORGE HW BUSH. 
SO TELL US WHERE THINGS ARE 
WITH INCUMBENT PRESIDENT. 
WHERE DOES TRUMP STAND AND IS 
THERE A PATH TO -- DOES HISTORY 
GIVE US A PATH TO VICTORY 
RECOVERY HERE FOR DONALD TRUMP? 
>> YOU MENTIONED BUSH. 
HE DID LOSE THERE, WAS NO PATH 
FOR HIM IN '92 BUTLET LOOK AT 
THE MOST RECENT INCUMBENT 
PRESIDENT AND WHERE THEY STOOD 
AT THIS POINT, THE OPENING DAY, 
OPENING NIGHT OF THEIR 
CONVENTION, WHAT WAS THEIR 
APPROVAL RATING AND WHAT DOES 
THE HORSE RACE LOOK LIKE. 
SIX MOST RECENT PRESIDENTS AND 
TWO EACH INTO THREE VERY 
DISTINCT CATEGORIES. 
FIRST 
UP, RONALD REAGAN, HEAVY 
FAVORITE CAME IN ROLLING 53% 
APPROVAL RATING AND WENT UP AS 
THE CAMPAIGN WENT ALONG AND 
DOUBLE DIGITS AHEAD OF HIS 
OPPONENT WALTER MONDALE AND WON 
BY TO POINTS OVER MONDALE AND 
SO DID BILL CLINTON 53% 
APPROVAL RATING OVER BOB DOLE. 
IT WASN'T DOUBLE DIGITS ON 
ELECTION DATE BUT AN 8 POINT 
WIN. 
TWO HEAVY FAVORITES FOR THEIR 
CONVENTION. 
THE NEXT GROUP IS GEORGE W. 
BUSH IN 2012. 
47 OF 45 OVER CAREY GOING TO 
THAT REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. 
BUSH WAS ABLE TO WIN THAT FIGHT 
BY THREE POINTS. 
MUCH CLOSER RACE. 
VERY COMPETITIVE RACE. 
47% APPROVAL. 
2012 OBAMA. 
SIMILAR APPROVAL THERE. 
48, 48 IN THE HORSE RACE AND 
AGAIN THIS E WAS A FIGHT. 
OBAMA WINS IT BY A FEW POINTS. 
VERY COMPETITIVE RACE AND NOW 
THE THIRD CATEGORY AND YOU 
MENTIONED IT GEORGE H.W. 
BUSH THE COULD INCUMBENT 
PRESIDENTS IN THE LAST 40 YEARS 
THAT CAME IN BEHIND. 
BUSH'S APPROVAL RATING WAS 35%. 
UNEMPLOYMENT HAD GONE UP FIVE 
STRAIGHT MONTHS IN THIS 
CONVENTION. 
HE WAS HT18 POINTS BEHIND BILL 
CLINTON. 
HE HAD THE BIGGEST MODERN 
CONVENTION HIBOUND AND THE FINA 
ONE HERE WAS JIMMY CARTER 32% 
APPROVAL AND DOWN DOUBLE 
DIGITS. 
ONE AND LOST BY TEN POINTS AND 
IN COMPARISON THAT IS WHERE 
TRUMP STACKS UP. 
>> THAT'S INTERESTING. 
HE ACTUALLY IS RIGHT IN BETWEEN 
THE WE CATEGORIES OF WINNING 
AND LOSING. 
YOU GAVE US A LITTLE SUSPENSE 
THERE. 
SEE WHAT YOU DID. 
>> LEYOU ARE PROVING ANOTHER 
POINT, THE JOB APPROVAL NUMBER 
IS PRETTY MUCH YOUR RAW VOTE 
NUMBER IF YOU ARE A SITTING 
PRESIDENT. 
AT THE END SIOF THE DAY IF YOU 
SEE TRUMP'S NUMBERS CREEPING UP 
TOWARDS ELECTION DAY GET YOUR 
CALCULATORS OUT. 
WHEN  HIS APPROVAL GOT TO 48%. 
>> THERE YOU GO. 
STEVE, GREAT WAY TO GET US 
STARTED. 
THANK YOU. 
>> JOINING ME MY COLLEAGUE TEAS 
SHE HAS MYDONE ALL LAST WEEK AS 
WELL CASEY HUNT AND THE HOST OF 
CASEY DC SUNDAY ON MSNBC AND 
STEWART STEVENS A STRATEGY FOR 
MITT ROMNEY CAMPAIGN AND AUTHOR 
OF IT WAS A LIE AND HOW THE 
REPUBLICAN PARTY BECAME DONALD 
TRUMP. 
CASEY LET  ME START WITH WHAT W 
THINK THE REPUBLICANS WANT TO 
DO THIS WEEK AND WHAT THE 
REALITY MIGHT BE BECAUSE OF 
PRESIDENT TRUMP. 
>> I THINK THE  BIG QUESTION, 
CHUCK IS AT WHAT POINT ARE 
AMERICANS UCTIRED OF THE TRUMP 
SHOW? 
THERE ARE TIREPORTS THAT REFER  
TRUMP THIS WEEK AS THE TALENT 
IN CHIEF AND THAT SEEMS TO BE 
HOW HE HAS APPROACHED THIS AND 
APPROACHED HIS REALITY 
TELEVISION CAREER AND HOW HE IS 
APPROACHING THIS WEEK. 
THEY WATCHED JOE 
BIDEN DO A 
VERY NICE JOB. 
THE DEMOCRATS BUY ALL ACCOUNTS 
HAD A BASICALLY GLITCH FREE 
CONVENTION IN CRTHE AGE OF COVI-
19 AND BRAND NEW AND THEY 
BASICALLY PULLED IT OFF AND 
TRUMP OF COURSE WATCHES A LOT 
OF TELEVISION AND WAS SITTING 
AROUND SAYING I WANT MINE TO 
BLOW THAT OUT OF THE WATER AND 
WE KNOW. 
WE THINK WE WILL HEAR FROM HIM 
NIGHT AFTER NIGHT AFTER NIGHT. 
THE QUESTION IS DOES NITHAT KIL 
THE SUSPENSION FOR THURSDAY? 
IS HE ABLE TO ACTUALLY KEEP THE 
PROGRAM ON MESSAGE. 
HOW MANY TIMES CHUCK, HAVE WE 
SAT HERE AND TALKED ABOUT THAT 
VERY APPROVAL RATING AND IF THE 
PRESIDENT WAS STAYING ON THE 
MESSAGE THAT HIS ADVISERS WERE 
ADVISING THAT HE STICKS TO AND 
HIS APPROVAL RATING DRIFTED 
UPWARD AND WHEN HE DECIDED HE 
WOULD BE HIMSELF IT WOULD TEND 
TO GO IN THE OTHER DIRECTION. 
IT SEEMED AS YOU SAY THE NUMBER 
ONE WILD CARD HERE. 
>> STEWART STEPHENS, I HAVE TO 
SAY WHEN I WOKE UP THEY ARE NOT 
PASSING A PLATFORM AND YOU CAN 
SAY THE FOLLOWING PHRASE. 
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY 
TECHNICALLY HAS 
NO PRINCIPLES 
THIS YEAR. 
I THOUGHT MY GOODNESS IT MAKES 
IT EASIER FOR THOSE THAT WANT 
TO CRITICIZE THE PARTY FROM 
BECOMING A PERSONALITY. 
IT APPEARS THAT IS WHAT THEY 
DECIDED TO DO. 
>> LOOK, I WROTE A BOOK ABOUT 
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND I 
FINISHED CALLED IT WAS ALL A 
LIE AND I THINK I WAS OVERLY 
OPTIMISTIC. 
NEVER IN MY WILDEST DREAMS DID 
I THINK THAT PARTY WOULD INTEND 
TO HAVE A PLATFORM. 
IT HAPPENS IN RUSSIA AND NORTH 
KOREA THAT THE CANDIDATE IS THE 
PLATFORM. 
BELIEVE IN THAT PERSON. 
BELIEF IN OUR DEAR LEADER IS 
THE PLATFORM. 
I THINK IT IS SAD. 
TWO THREADS THAT YOU WILL HEAR 
IN THIS CONVENTION AND  BOTH OF 
WHICH I THINK ARE SAD FOR OUR 
COUNTRY. 
ONE IS THE IDEA THAT A MAJOR 
POLITICAL PARTY THAT IS VERY 
POSITIVE THINGS IN THE PAST FOR 
THIS COUNTRY. 
HAS NOW ABANDONED ANY PRETENSE 
THAT ABIT STANDS FOR COHERENT 
GOVERNMENT. 
THE OTHER IS YOU WILL 
CONSTANTLY HEAR THE LEGITIMACY 
OF THIS ELECTION ITSELF. 
SERVES TWO PURPOSES 
FOR TRUMP. 
ONE IT PREPARES HIM IF HE LOSES 
TO SAY THAT HE DIDN'T LOSE 
FAIRLY THAT HE WILL NEVER ADMIT 
THAT HE LOST FAIRLY THAT IS TO 
ON SAY HE WILL NEVER ADMIT THAT 
AMERICA HAD A FAIR AND FREE 
ELECTION THAT IS A TERRIBLE 
THING FOR A PRESIDENT TO SAY 
AND PREPARING A WAY TO DO 
ANYTHING HE CAN TO DESTABILIZE 
THE ELECTION AND TO HELP HIM 
WIN. 
>> CASEY, I HAD TOM REED, NEW 
YORK MODERATE ON MY SHOW THAT 
RIGHT AFTER THE PRESIDENT 
FINISHED AND I SAID ARE YOU 
COMFORTABLE THE PARTY NOT 
HAVING A PLATFORM AND HE WAS 
LIKE WELL IT DOES. 
IT IS REALLY JUST USING THE 
2016 PLATFORM AND INTERPRETING 
IT ANOTHER WAY. 
WHEN YOU ANREAD THE STATEMENT I 
WAS NOT MEANT TO RECYCLE THA 
PLATFORM AND MEANT TO SUPPORT 
WHAT THE PRESIDENT IS FOR. 
I GUESS WHAT I'M CURIOUS ABOUT, 
CASEY IS WHAT DO ELECTIVE M 
REPUBLICANS ON CAPITOL HILL 
WANT THIS CONVENTION TO DO? 
DO THEY HOPE IT DOES NO HARM 
AND FORGOTTEN ABOUT OR DO THEY 
THINK IT COULD HELP THEM? 
>> WELL, CHUCK I MEAN THIS IS 
EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY 
AS I WAS LISTENING TO YOU AND 
STUWART TALK ABOUT THIS. 
I HAVE HAD CONVERSATION AFTER 
CONVERSATION AFTER CONVERSATION 
WITH REPUBLICAN ELECTED 
OFFICIALS WITH CAMPAIGN 
STRATEGISTS AND PEOPLE RUNNING 
FOR OFFICE OVER THE COURSE OF 
THE LAST THREE YEARS, FOUR 
YEARS NOW AND I SAID TO THEM 
OVER AND OVER AGAIN WHY ARE YOU 
SUPPORTING THIS PRESIDENT WHEN 
HE SAYS AND CONDUCTS HIMSELF IN 
WAYS THAT YOU HAVE EITHER 
PUBLICLY SAID BEFORE OR 
PRIVATELY SAID TO ME THAT YOU 
DON'T BELIEVE IN. 
DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS 
CHARACTER AND THEY ALWAYS SAY 
WELL JUDGES, WELL TAXES, WELL 
ALL OF THESE PRINCIPLES 
STANDING FOR AND THEY HAVE NOT 
COME OUT AND SAID THAT NO 
ACTUALLY WE ARE NOT GOING TO 
OUTLINE ANY OF THAT BUT THIS IS 
ALL ABOUT THE PERSON THAT SO 
MANY PEOPLE WERE SAYING WE ARE 
JUST SWALLOWING AND LOOKING THE 
OTHER WAY BECAUSE WE ARE HERE 
FOR THE PRINCIPLES AND PUTS HIM 
IN AN IMPOSSIBLE POSITION. 
THE STRATEGIST THAT I TALKED TO 
IN THE LAST WEEK POINTED OUT 
THAT SENATE CANDIDATES SENATE 
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES ARE 
RUNNING BEHIND THE PRESIDENT 
AND UNDERSCORES THEIR PROBLEMS 
ON THE OTHER SIDE. 
>> I DON'T D KNOW IF YOUR LINDS 
GRAHAM WHAT YOU WANT. 
LINDSEY GRAM IS ACTUALLY HAVE 
TO PERFORM AS WELL AS TRUMP IN 
ORDER TO WIN IN A PLACE LIKE 
SOUTH CAROLINA. 
BUT A CORY GARDNER NEEDS 
SOMETHING DIFFERENT. 
IF YOU ARE %A CANDIDATE I ASSUM 
YOU WISH THIS CONVENTION WASN'T 
TELEVISED IN YOUR CANDIDATE. 
>> I WILL TELL YOU WHAT YOU 
WANT, YOU WHAT ABOUT TETHIS 
CONVENTION TO BE , OVER AND TO 
MOVE ON IF YOU TRY TO RUN THE 
CAMPAIGN. 
THERE IS A TREMENDOUS WEIGHT ON 
THE TICKET AND NO REASON TO 
BELIEVE THIS WILL CHANGE. 
IF HE WAS GOING TO MAKE SOME 
SORT OF ATTEMPT TO SAVE THE 
PARTY IT WOULD BE ABOUT BIG 
ISSUES. 
REPUBLICANS AND BIG IDEAS. 
HE WON'T DO THAT. 
IT WILL ALWAYS BE ABOUT DONALD 
TRUMP AND HE WILL TAKE ALL OF 
THESE PEOPLE DOWN WITH HIM AND 
ALL LIKELIHOOD. 
>> I SAY EVERYBODY HAS THEIR 
LINE. 
EVERYBODY'S LINE IS DIFFERENT 
THAN THE PERSON NEXT TO THEM. 
SOME PEOPLE, YOUR LINE GOT 
CROSSED A LONG LINE AGO STEWART 
AND I AM GUESSING YOU WILL HAVE 
PEOPLE TO BE  FRIENDS WITH AND 
THE LINE WILL CROSS FOR THEM AS 
WELL. 
>> CASEY AND STEWART STICK 
AROUND. 
WHAT ARE REPUBLICAN VOTERS 
LOOKING FOR ON THIS FIRST NIGHT 
OF THE CONVENTION. 
WE WILL CHECK IN WITH THE NBC 
REPORTERS AND FIRST A MEMORABLE 
MOMENT FROM NIGHT ONE FROM THE 
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION, LET'S GO 
BACK TO 1988 WHEN OUTGOING 
RONALD REAGAN OFFERED A MESSAGE 
FOR HIS FELLOW REPUBLICANS AS 
HE PREPARED TO LEAVE THE OVAL 
OFFICE. 
>> WE CAN NEVER LET THE FIRE GO 
OUT AND QUIT THE FIGHT BECAUSE 
THE BATTLE IS NEVER OVER. 
OUR FREEDOM MUST BE DEFENDED 
OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND THEN 
AGAIN. 
THERE IS STILL A LOT OF BRUSH 
TO CLEAR OUT AT THE RANCH AND 
FENCES THAT NEED TO BE REPAIRED 
AND HORSES THAT EDNEED TO RIDE 
BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT IF 
THE FIRES OF EVER DIM I'LL 
LEAVE MY PHONE NUMBER AND 
ADDRESS BEHIND IN CASE YOU NEED 
A FOOT SOLDIER.

COUNTRY WHAT THE NEW NORMS FOR

BETWEEN THE JOBS THAT THEY LOVE 
AND THE FAMILY.

CARE OF MY FAMILY OR HAVE A 
JOB.

THE . TRUMP CAMPAIGN SETTING TH 
STAGE FOR THIS CONVENTION WITH 
UPBEAT AND OPTIMISTIC. 
BUT THAT IS NOT THE MESSAGE 
THAT PRESIDENT DELIVERED AND SO 
WHAT ARE THE REPUBLICAN VOTERS 
HOPING TO HEAR DURING THIS 
CONVENTION. 
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT JOSHUA 
BURNS ARE ASKING VOTERS IN KEY 
STATES. 
VAUGHN IS TALKING TO FARMERS IN 
WISCONSIN AND HE JOINS US IN 
BLANDARDVILLE WISCONSIN AND 
TASHA BURNS IS WHERE THE 
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION 
WAS GOING TO PUBE IN DUVALL 
COUNTY FLORIDA THAT IS IN 
JACKSONVILLE. 
VAUGHN YOU ARE IN THE NORTHERN 
TIER STATES. 
SORT OF TWO SETS OF SWING SETS. 
THREE HEIN THE NORTH AND THREE  
THE SOUTH. 
YOU ARE IN WISCONSIN, WHAT DID 
YOU LEARN? 
>> CHUCK I KNOW WE ARE FOCUSING 
ON KENT COUNTY. 
THE URBAN COURSES BUT IF YOU 
ARE DOWN RIGHT HERE ON DAN 
TROUTMAN'S FARM IN SOUTHWEST 
WISCONSIN. 
IF YOU GO BACK UTTO THE 2012 MA 
ALL OF THE COUNTIES BEYOND 
MADISONVILLE WENT BLUE FOR 
BARACK OBAMA. 
IN 2016 THEY FLIPPED FOR DONALD 
TRUMP. 
THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION HERE. 
WHAT NUMBER OF THE FARMERS IN 
THIS AREA WILL SAY ENOUGH IS 
ENOUGH? 
I WENT TO THESE FARMS BACK IN 
2018 WHEN THERE WAS CONCERN 
OVER THE IMPACT OF THE TARIFFS. 
WE ARE NOW AND YEAR THREE AND 
WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN IS 20 
BILLION-DOLLARS HANDED OUT IN 
SUBSIDIES IN AGRICULTURAL 
INDUSTRIES TO INTHE FARMERS TO 
LARGELY KEEP THEM AFLOAT 
BECAUSE OF THE IMPACT OF LOST 
PROFIT FROM THOSE TRADE WARS 
AND CONCERN GOING FORWARD. 
I WAS TALKING WITH DAN 
TROUTMAN. 
HE TOLD ME OVER THE NEXT 72 
DAYS WE HAVE ANXIETY ABOUT THE 
NEXT ELECTION BECAUSE WE ARE 
ACCUSTOMED TO TOO MUCH CHAOS. 
THAT CONTINUES AT A HEIGHTENED 
LEVEL BUT TO WHAT EXTENT DO THE 
SENTIMENTS PERMEATE BEYOND. 
I WAS HAVING A CONVERSATION 
BEHIND THE STATE LINE IN IOWA 
WITH ANOTHER FARMING THAT IS 
WEIGHING AFTER VOTING FOR 
DONALD TRUMP IN 2016 AND 
WERE SOME ED THERE 
GAINS FROM THE SIGNING OF USMCA 
BUT AT THE SAME TIME FOLKS HERE 
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT LOOK, WE ARE AR
STILL IN A TRADE WAR WITH CHINA 
AND EVEN DONALD TRUMP HIMSELF 
SUGGESTED LAST WEEK HE DIDN'T 
KNOW WHAT THE FUTURE OF THE 
TRADE DEAL TUWOULD LOOK LIKE. 
WHEN YOU LOOK AT DONALD TRUMP 
JUST THIS MONTH AGAIN 
IMPLEMENTING NEW TARIFFS ON 
CANADIAN ALUMINUM. EN
WHAT WOULD A TRUMP SECOND 
ADMINISTRATION LOOK LIKE? 
WOULD IT CONTINUE TO CLOSE THAT 
FINANCIAL DAMAGE TO FARMS LIKE 
THIS. 
>> FASCINATING. 
MUCH APPRECIATED AND WE HEARD A 
LOT OF THESE STORIES WHEN WE 
WERE COVERING THE CAUCUSES. 
>> TASHA YOU ARE IN A COUNTY 
THAT ENCOMPASSES A COUNTY WITH 
A REPUBLICAN MAYOR AND DUVALL 
COUNTY IS A A COUNTY THAT 
REPUBLICANS HAVE TO WIN TO 
CARRY THE STATE  TBUT IT HAS BE 
TRYING TO TURN PURPLE. 
WHAT ARE YOU FINDING? 
>> YES, THIS MAY BE A SURPRISE 
CONSIDERING THE GEOGRAPHICAL 
DISTANCE BUT IN DUVALL COUNTY 
THERE IS FASCINATING PARALLELS 
TO WHAT ERI WAS REPORTING ON YO 
SHOW LAST WEEK FROM KENT COUNTY 
MICHIGAN. 
BOTH AREAS THAT ARE TRADITIONAL 
REPUBLICAN STRONG HOLDS AND 
SEEN NARROWER MARGINS HERE IN 
DUVALL IN 2018. 
THE COUNTY SAW GUBERNATORIAL 
CANDIDATE ANDREW GUILLEN TAKE 
THE  COUNTY. 
YOU HAVE SEEN THESE SHIFTS IN 
THE SUBURBS, GROWING AND 
GETTING MORE DIVERSE AND 
COLLEGE EDUCATED AND THIS 
CONTINGENT OF THESE MODERATE 
CHAMP PER OF COMMERCE 
REPUBLICANS AND I HAVE TO TELL 
YOU I WHAT I HEARD FROM THEM GA 
ME DE JAVU FROM KENT COUNTY 
MICHIGAN. 
THEY DON'T RECOGNIZE THE  PARTY 
THEY GREW UP WITH THE RNC NOT 
HAVING A PARTY PLATFORM. 
SO TAKE A LISTEN TO WHAT I 
HEARD HERE.
I'M LIKE A NOMAD IN NO-MAN'S 
LAND AND GIVEN CREDIT IN THIS 
SITUATION. 
AT A INCERTAIN POINT WHEN YOU 
CAN'T DO THE ETHICAL GYMNASTICS 
TO SUPPORT THE PARTY TICKET IT 
IS NOT THE PARTY THAT IT SAYS 
IT IS. 
>> IS DOESN'T RESEMBLE THE 
PARTY I JOINED AN I AM HOPING 
THIS IS RESET ELECTION AND LIKE 
MANY TRUE PATRIOTS WHO HAVE 
BEEN REPUBLICAN FOR A LONG TIME 
I'M REALLY QUESTIONING NOT ONLY 
THE STANDARD BUT MORE 
IMPORTANTLY TRUMP IS -- 
>> BOTH OF THESE GENTLEMEN 
VOTING FOR JOE >>BIDEN AND ONE 
DONATING TO THE CAMPAIGN AND 
MAKING CALLS FOR THE BIDEN 
CAMPAIGN THAT HE COULDN'T HAVE 
IMAGINED DOING SEVERAL YEARS 
AGO. 
NOW, THE GOP IMERPARTY CHAIR DI 
TELL ME BECAUSE THE RNC WAS 
SUPPOSED TO BE HERE THEY BUILT 
OUT A SIGNIFICANT 
INFRASTRUCTURE WITH THOUSAND 
MORE VOLUNTEERS THAN THEY WOULD 
HAVE OTHERWISE AND NOW FEELING 
CONFIDENT WITH THE GAME CHANGE 
AND A FIGHT FOR DUVALL COUNTY. 
CAN THE PRESIDENT GAIN MORE 
VOTERS THAN HE HAS LOST HERE? 
>> HE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD 
LOSING VOTERS IN DUVALL. 
WE WILL SEE. 
VAUGHN HILLIARD IN FARMLAND IN 
WISCONSIN, DASHA BURNS IN 
DUVALL COUNTY. 
WE APPROACH  THE 8:30 MORNING A 
THE BEGINNING OF THE 
CONVENTION. 
STEWART, I AM SURE YOU HEARD 
THE VOTERS WATCHING WHAT IS 
HAPPENING IN JACKSONVILLE AND 
YOU HEARD DASHA TALK ABOUT 
GRAND RAPIDS. 
INDIANAPOLIS WE ARE SEEING THE 
SAME THING. 
IT SEEMS AS IF THE FINAL SHOES 
ARE FOLLOWING ON THESE LAST 
REPUBLICAN LEANING CITIES. 
>> I THINK THAT DONALD TRUMP 
BECAUSE OF THE THVIEWS OF 
REPUBLICANS, A LOT OF 
REPUBLICANS WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT 
SUBURBAN HOUSEWIVES. 
THE WEEK AFTER 
THE MISSISSIPPI 
LEGISLATURE TOOK DOWN THE STATE 
FLAG HE END UP ON THE WRONG 
SIDE OF THE CULTURAL WAR ON THE 
CONFEDERATE FLAG WITH NASCAR. 
TRUMP IS BLOCKED INTO THIS 1978 
QUEENS RACIALLY DECISIVE 
POLITICS AND I DON'T THINK THAT 
PEOPLE LIKE TO SEE THEMSELVES 
THAT SEDONALD TRUMP IS APPEALIN 
TO. 
>> CASEY, WHAT YOU HEARD THERE 
FROM VAUGHN. 
ABOUT THE AG ISSUES. 
I THASSUME YOU HAVE BEEN HEARIN 
IT HAFROM THOSE MEMBERS OF 
CONGRESS. 
THEY HAVE BEEN UNCOMFORTABLE 
SOME OF EYTHE CONSERVATIVE 
MEMBERS OF HOW IMPORTANT THE 
SUBSIDIES HAVE BEEN. 
>> FOR 
SURE AND THE PRIME 
EXAMPLE OF THAT IS JOEY ERNST 
IN IOWA THAT IS INTERESTING 
THAT SHE IS SPEAKING AT THE 
CONVENTION BECAUSE THAT IS ONE 
STATE THAT WE HAVE SEEN CLOSED 
IN A WAY THAT I EXPECTED TO SEE 
THE NUMBERS THAT I WAS SEEING 
PUBLICLY AND CONVERSATIONS WITH 
OPERATIVES PRIVATELY ABOUT 
WHERE THINGS STAND VAIN THE STA 
BUT EVENT AFTER EVENT AND THEY 
JUST HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH 
THAT TERRIBLE STORM IN CEDAR 
RAPIDS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 
STATE AND LAG TIME FROM THE 
REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR IN DEALING 
WITH IT IF YOU TALK TO SOME 
FARMERS AND DEMOCRATS. 
IT IS 
CAUSING PAIN AND PROBLEMS 
AND WE HAVEN'T FIGURED PAOUT TH 
EXTENT IT IS TRUE BUT THERE IS 
SOMETHING GOING ON THAT VAUGHN 
HIT ON. 
>> STEWART, MEARE YOU CONCERNED 
THAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING 
TO RUN THE SAME CAMPAIGN 
AGAINST TRUMP JUST WITH THE 
CANDIDATE THAT LEFT? 
>> NO, I 
THINK THEY HAVE HELD 
TO THE RULE OF POLITICS. 
PUTTING TOGETHER AN OLD-
FASHIONED CAMPAIGN WITH 
COALITION BUILDING. 
WE USED D TO DO THIS. 
AND WE USED TO THINK THAT WE 
WERE GOOD AT IT. 
ANYTIME YOU GET COALITION 
TOGETHER WITH NEGATIVES AND 
THAT TIME NEGATIVE OF THE 
OPPOSITION IS THE GLUE THAT 
HOLDS TOGETHER THE DEMOCRATIC 
PARTY. 
I THINK THEY ARE RUNNING A 
SMART CAMPAIGN. 
>> CASEY HUNT, VERY QUICKLY 
WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD ON THE HILL 
ABOUT THE DEMOCRAT CONVENTION 
FROM DEMOCRATS? 
>> DEMOCRATS ARE HAPPY. 
THERE'S DISCONTEST ON THE LEFT. 
AO C FOR EXAMPLE, DID NOT HAVE 
A SPEAKING CLUSTER AND SOME 
WOULD HAVE LIKED FOUR HER TO 
SEE BUT STEWART IS RIGHT AT THE 
END OF THE DAY IT IS BEATING 
DONALD TRUMP AND THEY HAVE TO 
SING OUT THE SAME HYMNAL AND 
WILLING TO DO IT. 
I THINK BERNIE SANDERS TOLD YOU 
AFTER THE ELECTION FORGET IT. 
ALL BETS ARE OFF. 
>> ASSUMING WE KNOW THE WINNER 
ON NOVEMBER 4th. 
CASEY HUNT AND STEWART STEVENS, 
NIGHT ONE,  AOUR PRESHOW HERE A 
THANK YOU FOR HELPING US KICK 
IT OFF AND THANK YOU FOLK FOR 
BEING WITH US HERE. 
THE PROGRAM FOR NIGHT ONE OF 
THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL 
CONVENTION STARTS RIGHT NOW. 
>> DETERMINED BY THE SHINING 
LIGHT OF OUR HOPES AND VALUES 
AND FAITH. 
A COUNTRY WHERE WE ARE JUDGED 
BY OUR CHARACTER WITH DIGNITY 
AND RESPECT FOR ALL. 
CREATED EQUAL THAT LIVE MATTER 
IRRESPECTIVE OF RACE, CREED OR 
COLOR AND  COMMITTED TO 
EXCELLING BEYOND OUR DREAMS AND

THE BREACH TO 
PRESERVE A WAY OF LIFE THAT

DIVERSITY G AND PROSPERITY AND 
SAFE COMMUNITIES AND FOR 
PROTECTING AND SERVING AND 
CARING FOR ONE ANOTHER. 
STILL POLITICIANS FIND THEIR 
DECEPTIONS AND OBSTRUCTIVE 
CONGRESS FANNING THE FLAMES. 
WE ALL KNOW THAT IT IS EASY TO 
CRITICIZE. 
AND IT TAKES A TRUE LEADER TO 
SOLVE PROBLEMS. 
COVID-19. 
WELL OTHERS CRITICIZE WITHOUT 
SOLUTIONS. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S SWIFT ACTIONS 
SAVE LIVES AND LEADING 
DEMOCRATS WANT TO KEEPS WITHS 
CLOSED DOWN OUR PRESIDENT IS 
LEADING THE WAY FOR A FULL 
ECONOMIC RECOVERY. 
WE ARE AMERICANS. 
DESPITE PREDICTABLE EVENTS.

POLICE THAT GUARD THEM INTENSE 
SITUATIONS WHERE OUR MEN AND

AMEN. 
GOOD EVENING. 
IT IS AN HONOR TO BE WITH YOU. 
MY NAME IS CHARLIE KIRK. 
THE LARGEST PRO AMERICAN 
ORGANIZATION IN THE COUNTRY 
TURNING POINT USA FIGHTING FOR 
THE FUTURE OF OUR REPUBLIC. 
SPEAKING IN MY PERSONAL 
CAPACITY TONIGHT AS A 26-YEAR-
OLD I SEE THE ANGST OF YOUNG 
PEOPLE AND CHALLENGES FACING 
NEW PARENTS. 
I AM HERE TONIGHT TO TELL YOU 
TO WARN YOU THAT THIS ELECTION 
IS A DECISION BETWEEN 
PRESERVING AMERICA AS SIWE KNOW 
IT AND ELIMINATING EVERYTHING 
THAT WE LOVE. 
FOR DECADES RULING CLASS 
LEADERS IN BOTH PARTIES SOLD 
OUT OUR FUTURE. 
TO CHINA, TO FACELESS 
CORPORATIONS AND TO SELF 
SERVING LOBBYISTS. 
THEY %DID IT TO PRESERVE THEIR 
OWN POWER AND ENRICH THEMSELVES 
AND RIGGING THE SYSTEM TO HOLD 
DOWN THE GOOD DISCEPT MIDDLE 
CLASS PATRIOTS TRYING TO PURSUE 
DISTANT LIFE AND WHEN A 
BILLIONAIRE NAMED DONALD TRUMP 
PUT HIS NAOWN LIFE OF LUXURY ON 
THE LINE FROM THAT MOMENT HE 
CAME DOWN THAT FAMOUS ESCALATOR 
HE STARTED A MOMENT TO RECLAIM 
OUR GOVERNMENT FROM THE ROTTEN 
CARTEL OF INSIDERS THAT HAVE 
BEEN DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY. 
WE  MAY NOT HAVE REALIZED IT AT 
THE TIME BUT TRUMP IS THE BODY 
GUARD OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION. 
TRUMP WAS ELECTED TO PROTECT 
OUR FAMILIES FROM THE VENGEFUL 
MOB THAT SEEKS R TO DESTROY OUR 
WAY OF LIFE, OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. 
SCHOOLS. 
CHURCHES AND VALUES. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP ODWAS ELECTED T 
DEFEND THE AMERICAN WAY OF 
LIFE. 
THE AMERICAN WAY  OF LIFE MEANS 
YOU FOLLOW THE LAW. 
YOU WORK HARD. 
YOU HONOR GOD. 
YOU RAISE YOUR KIDS WITH STRONG 
VALUES. 
AND YOU WORK TO CREATE A CIVIL 
SOCIETY. 
THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE MEANS 
YOU AMSPEAK YOUR MIND WITHOUT 
RETRIBUTION AND WITHOUT BEING 
KICKED OFF SOCIAL MEDIA BY A 
SELF-RIGHTEOUS CENSOR IN SILL 
LA CAN VALLEY AND FREELY 
PRACTICE YOUR RELIGION AND THAT 
CHURCH IS MORE ESSENTIALLY THAN 
A CASINO AND IT MEANS THAT WE 
JUDGE PEOPLE ON THEIR ACTIONS, 
NOT ON THEIR CHARACTERIZISTICS. 
THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE IS 
BEING DISMANTLED BY A GROUP OF 
BITTER DECEITFUL ACTIVISTS THAT 
HAVE NEVER BUILT ANYTHING IN 
THEIR LIVES. 
THEY HAVE US LOCKING UP PASTORS 
AND RELEASING VIOLENT CRIMINALS 
FROM PRISON. 
WE ARE KICKING INDOCTORS OFF OF 
SOCIAL MEDIA BUT YET PROMOTING 
STATE FUNDED PROPAGANDA ON DA
MAJOR TECH PLATFORMS. 
THIS ELECTION IS THE POSITION 
CRITICAL SINCE 1860 WHEN A MAN 
NAMED LINCOLN WAS ELECTED TO 
SERVE THE UNION OLFROM DISSIN N 
GRACIOUS. 
IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT OF OUR 
LIFETIME AND THE MOST IMPORTANT 
SINCE THE PRESERVATION OF THE 
REPUBLIC IN 1865. 
BY REENLACKING PRESIDENT TRUMP 
OUR KIDS WILL BE RAISED TO LOVE 
OUR COUNTRY  AND RESPECT 
FOUNDING FATHERS AND NOT TALK 
HATE AND BE ASHAMED OF THEM AND 
BUILD MONUMENTS AND NOT BUILD 
DOWN OUR CITIES AND A COUNTRY 
THAT RISES TO HIGHER HEIGHTS 
AND THAT THINKS BIG AND 
ACHIEVES THE IMPOSSIBLE. 
COUNTRY THAT VALUES A 
REMARKABLE JOURNEY. 
THE COMPLEXITIES OF OUR PAST 
BUT CLEARLY COMMUNICATES TO THE 
NEXT GENERATION THAT WE HAVE TO 
BE GRATEFUL, NOT ANGRY THAT WE 
LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES. 
WE WILL BE A COUNTRY THAT MAKES 
IT EASIER TO HAVE MANY 
CHILDREN. 
LIVE QUIET AND PEACEFUL LIVES. 
AND WORSHIP YOUR GOD WITHOUT A 
TYRANT GETTING IN THE WAY. 
WE WILL BE A COUNTRY THAT HAS 
ITS ONE HUNDRED YEARS AHEAD AND 
AMERICA IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY 
TO EVER EXIST IN THE HISTORY OF 
THE WORLD. 
ALL OF THAT IS WITHIN OUR GRASP 
IF WE SECURE FOUR MORE YEARS 
FOR THE DEFENDER OF WESTERN 
CIVILIZATION, OUR CHAMPION, MY 
FRIEND, THE 45th PRESIDENT OF 
THE UNITED STATES, PRESIDENT 
DONALD J TRUMP. 
I'M REBECCA PRICHARD. 
A PUBLIC SCHOOL EDUCATOR. 
I'M HERE TO GIVE VOICE TO 
AMERICA'S GREAT TEACHERS 
BECAUSE OUR VOICES HAVE BEEN 
SILENCED FOR DECADES. 
BY UNIONS WHO CLAIM TO 
REPRESENT US. 
THEY DO NOT. 
WHEN OTHER USDEDICATED TEACHERS 
AND I SERVE WITHIN THE UNION, 
WE SPOKE UP IN DEFENSE OF 
CHILDREN, PARENTS, SOUTH AFRICA 
FACT AND TROUBLE WE WERE BARRED 
FROM COMMITTEES AND SHOUTED 
DOWN AND EVEN SPIT UPON BY 
UNION LEADERS. 
THIS IS HOW UNIONS TREAT 
DEVOTED TEACHERS. 
BUT WHAT IS WORSE IS HOW THEIR 
AGENDA OF CONTROL DECEIVES 
AMERICANS AND OUR CHILDREN. 
THEY HAVE INTENTIONALLY 
REWRITTEN AMERICAN HISTORY TO 
PERPETUATE DIVISION AND PERVERT 
THE MEMORIES OF OUR AMERICAN 
FOUNDERS AND DISPARAGE OUR 
JUDEA CHRISTIAN VIRTUES. 
THEIR LENIENT POLICIES MORPHED 
OUR SCHOOLS INTO WAR ZONES AND 
ABOLISHING POLICE. 
UNIONS COLLECT BILLS FROM 
UNSUSPECTING TEACHERS AND 
PUSHED THIS RADICAL AGENDA INTO 
OUR CLASSROOM AGAINST OUR WILL. 
WHY? 
THE ONLY WAY NSTO KEEP A FREE 
REPUBLIC IS WITH A WELL 
EDUCATED, MORAL CITIZEN 
REUSABLE THAT CAN SELF GOVERN. 
UNIONS ARE SUBVERTING OUR 
REPUBLICAN. 
THEY UNDERMINE EDUCATIONAL 
EXCELLENCE, THMORALITY AND LAW 
AND ORDER. 
THAT IS WHY THEY SPEND HUNDREDS 
OF MILLIONS ANNUALLY TO DEFEAT 
CHARTER SCHOOLS AND SCHOOL 
CHOICE. 
TRAPPING SO MANY PRECIOUS LOW-
INCOME CHILDREN IN DANGEROUS 
CORRUPT AND LOW PERFORMING 
SCHOOLS. 
TO FIGHT NGBACK ON BEHALF OF 
CHILDREN AND AMERICA, BRAVE 
TEACHERS D BROUGHT A LAWSUIT 
AGAINST UNIONS. 
AND DO YOU KNOW WHO INTERVENED 
AGAINST THAT? 
THE OBAMA-WIDE AN 
ADMINISTRATION AND CALIFORNIA 
ATTORNEY GENERAL KAMALA HARRIS. 
THEY ARGUED AGAINST THAT AT THE 
U.S. SUPREME COURT. 
THEIR CONRADS LADLE US BONDS OF 
SATAN AND SLANDERED US. 
WE WILL KEEP FIGHTING JUST LIKE 
PRESIDENT TRUMP. 
HE E IS BREAKING THE UNION'S GR 
ON OUR SCHOOLS. 
THAT IS WHY UNIONS HAVE TRIED 
TO DESTROY HIM SINCE THE DAY HE 
WAS ELECTED. 
BUT PRESIDENT TRUMP IS NOT 
AFRAID TO FIGHT FOR WHAT IS 
RIGHT. 
HE WON'T BACK DOWN. 
HIS COURAGE GIVES GREAT 
TEACHERS RENEWED HOPE. 
HE IS EVEN PROPOSED EDUCATION 
FREEDOM SCHOLARSHIPS TO RETURN 
CONTROL EETO PARENTS AND PROTEC 
RELIGIOUS LIBERTIES AND EMPOWER 
KIDS TO ESCAPE DANGEROUS LOW 
PERFORMING SCHOOLS. 
THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM 
PROMOTES EDUCATIONAL FREEDOM. 
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY DOES NOT. 
DEMOCRATS STAND  WITH DECEPTIVE 
TEACHER'S UNIONS THAT PICK ON 
LOVING TEACHERS IOAND LITTLE 
KIDS. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP STANDS WITH 
AMERICA'S FAMILIES AND GREAT 
TEACHERS AND MOST IMPORTANTLY 
OUR CHILDREN. 
SO AMERICA'S GREAT TEACHERS, 
LET'S STAND WITH PRESIDENT 
TRUMP AND IN PROTECTION OF THE 
KIDS AND COUNTRY WE LOVE. 
>> I AM SO GRATEFUL TO SPEAK 
WITH YOU. 
MY NAME IS TONYA WINERICE. 
I AM FROM MONTANA WHERE I LIVE 
WITH MY HUSBAND, MY HERO. 
A MARINE AND RETIRED POLICE 
OFFICER. 
MY HUSBAND AND I OWN MOUNTAIN 
LETTUCE ESPRESSO I AND NOT FROM 
CORPORATION. 
OUR SUCCESS IS NOT MEASURED BY 
STOCKHOLDERS BUT BY OUR 
NEIGHBORS, THE PEOPLE WE SEE AT 
CHURCH AND AT SCHOOL WITH OUR 
SON. 
MOUNTAIN LETTUCE ESPRESSO IS 
THE AMERICAN STORY, A STORY NOT 
JUST FROM ENTREPRENEURS BUT 
HARD WORKING MEN AND WOMEN 
BUILDING THEIR DREAM EVERY DAY. 
A FEW MONTHS AGO LIKE SO MANY 
BUSINESSES LIWE GOT THE CRUSHIN 
NEWS THAT A LARGE EVENT WAS 
CANCELED BECAUSE OF THE VIRUS. 
OUR NCBUSINESS WAS ON THE BRINK 
THREATENED TO BE SHUT DOWN FROM 
LOSSES THAT WERE NOT OUR FAULT. 
I WAS SCARED. 
I THOUGHT OF OUR 50 EMPLOYEES, 
THE MOUNTAIN MUD FAMILY AND 
WHEN I THOUGHT OF THEIR JOBS I 
THOUGHT OF THEIR RENT BEING 
DUE. 
THEIR KIDS AND I FELL 
PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE. 
I AM NOT TOO PROUD TO ADMIT 
THAT I FELL ON MY KNEES AND 
PRAYED. 
LORD WHAT DO I DO. 
HIS WORDS WERE LIKE KEEP ON 
WORKING IT WILL BE OKAY. 
I HAD FAITH AND LET ME TELL YOU 
YOU HAVE TO HAVE FAITH WHEN 
YOUR HUSBAND IS A MARINE AND A 
POLICE OFFICER WHO WAS SHOT AT 
ON THE JOB. 
AND WHEN YOU RUN A BUSINESS 
FAITH GOES A LONG WAY. 
FAITH IN JESUS AND FAITH IN 
AMERICA. 
AND I AM WORRIED WE HAVE A 
GENERATION OF AMERICANS WHO 
HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE 
AMERICAN DREAM DOESN'T EXIST. 
THAT IS A LIE. 
I KNOW BECAUSE I LIVE THAT 
DREAM. 
IT IS WHY I FEEL SO STRONGLY 
THAT WE NEED A PRESIDENT THAT 
DREAMS IN THE AMERICAN DREAM 
LIKE PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. 
NOW MORE THAN EVER. 
I AM SO THANKFUL THAT MY 
PRAYERS FOR HELP WERE ANSWERED. 
MY COMPANY WAS ONE OF THE FIRST 
TO RECEIVE A PPE E LOAN AND 
PRAISE GOD IT HAS BEEN A 
LIFESAVER. 
NOT ONLY WERE WE ABLE TO KEEP 
EVERY SINGLE EMPLOYEE BUT 
HIRING WEEKLY EVER SINCE. 
I RIFEEL FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES 
ACROSS AMERICA THAT ARE UNDER 
ASSAULT FROM SHUT DOWNS AND 
FROM RIOTS AND NOW FACING THE 
TERRIFYING PROSPECT OF JOE 
BIDEN COMING AFTER EVERYTHING 
WE HAVE BUILT. 
I AM SO GRATEFUL THAT WE HAVE 
LEADERS LIKE PRESIDENT TRUMP 
STANDING UP FOR LOCAL 
BUSINESSES LIKE MINE. 
THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP. 
IT IS EXCITING TO BE PART OF 
THE GREAT AMERICAN COMEBACK 
STORY. 
I'M CKCONGRESSMAN MATT GATES AN 
SPEAKING YOU NGFROM AN AUDITORI 
EMPTIER THAN JOE BIDEN'S 
ARE A NATION OF 
FULL HEARTS AND CLEAR MINDS. 
WE SEE THE CHOICE CLEARLY, 
STRENGTH OR WEAKNESS AND ENERGY 
OR CONFUSION AND SUCCESS OR 
FAILURE. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS THE FIRST 
PRESIDENT SINCE REAGAN NOT TO 
START A NEW WAR. 
BIDEN HAS FOOLISHLY CHEER LED 
DECADES OF WAR WITHOUT WINNING 
AND WITHOUT END. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP ANKNOWS WE ARE 
STRONGEST WHEN WE FIGHT HARDEST 
AND NOT IN DISTANT DESERTS BUT 
FOR OUR FELLOW AMERICANS AND 
MUST FIGHT TO SAVE AMERICA NOW 
OR LOSE HER FOREVER. 
JOE BIDEN MIGHT LONOT EVEN 
NOTICE. 
SADDLE FOR BIDEN. 
THAT'S THE # PROMOTED BY AOC 
AND THE SOCIALISTS. 
THE UTOPIANS WILL SETTLE FOR 
BIDEN BECAUSE THEY WILL MAKE 
HIM IN A MOVIE WRITTEN AND 
DIRECTED BY OTHERS. 
A HORROR FILM THEY WILL DISARM 
YOU AND EMPTY THE PRISONS AND 
LOCK YOU IN YOUR HOME AND 
INVITE MS13 TO LIVE NEXT DOOR 
AND THE POLICE AREN'T COMING 
WHEN YOU CALL AND DEMOCRAT 
ROUNCY IS ITS, THEY ARE ALREADY 
BEING DISFUNDED AND DISBANDED 
AND BLAMING OUR BEST AND 
ALLOWING SOCIETY'S WORSE THAT'S 
THE STORY THEY BRIGHT IN 
HOLLYWOOD THAT IS IF THE LIGHTS 
STAY ON IN CALIFORNIA ANYMORE. 
THE STATE THAT CANNOT KEEP 
POWER RUNNING FOR ITS OWN 
PEOPLE SHOULD NOT SEND ITS 
JUNIOR SENATOR TO BE VICE 
PRESIDENT. 
THEY USED BETO WRITE ONLY IN 
FICTION BUT NIGHTMARES ARE 
BECOMING REAL. 
COPS KILLED. 
CHILDREN SHOT. 
AT THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION 
THEY SAY L.% DIF YOU VOTE AGAIN 
TRUMP IT WILL ALL STOP. 
APPEASEMENT IS NEVER A WINNING 
STRATEGY. 
WE WON'T SETTLE FOR VIOLENCE IN 
OUR NEIGHBORHOODS OR AT OUR 
BORDER, WE WON'T SETTLE FOR 
DECADES OF BAD DECISIONS BY 
BASEMENT DWELLING JOE BIDEN. 
WE SETTLE A CONTINENT. 
WE KNOW THE FRONTIER AND THE 
HORIZON AND THE STARS BELONG TO 
US. 
DONALD TRUMP LIKE ALL BUILDERS 
IS A VISIONARY. 
THAT WHICH IS %BUILT IN THE MIN 
IS EVEN MORE POWERFUL THAN THE 
BRICK AND MORETOR THAT HOLDS IT 
TOGETHER. 
FIRST COMES THE MIND AND THE 
MAKING AND FIRST COMES THE 
VISION AND THEN THE WORK. 
WASHINGTON, LINCOLN AND 
JEFFERSON ARE IMMORTAL 
PRECISELY BECAUSE OF THE PULL 
THEY HAVE ON OUR IMAGINATION. 
YOU CAN'T CANCEL A CULTURE THAT 
LOVES ITS HEROES. 
THE DANGEROUS LEFT AMERICA WITH 
THE GOAL OF REPLACING AMERICA. 
TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN WE 
MUST FIRST MAKE SOMETHING OF 
OURSELVES. 
THAT IS THE MEANING OF TRUE 
STRENGTH. 
MIGRATE GRANDFATHER WAS A 
RAILROAD MAN AND I WATCH THE 
ROCKETS SEND THE BRIGHTEST 
BEYOND THE HEAVENS WITH OUR 
FLAG. 
AMERICA IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY 
AND DON'T LET ANY CELEBRITY OR 
MUSICIAN TELL YOU OTHERWISE 
WISE. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP KNOWS WHAT IT 
TAKES TO RAISE AN ARMY OF 
PATRIARCHS THAT LOVE AMERICA 
AND MUST PROTECT HER. 
WE MUST WIN THIS ELECTION IF WE 
CHERISH N OUR COUNTRY BECAUSE 
THERE IS NO PLACE TO RUN AND NO 
REFUGE IF WE FAIL. 
AMERICA IS OUR HOME. 
WE MUST PROTECT OUR HOME. 
WITH UNBREAKABLE MADE IN 
AMERICA STRENGTH. 
STRENGTH THAT I SEE EVERY DAY 
IN PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. 
THANK YOU. 
>> MY NAME IS KIM CLANCY AND 
RUNNING FOR CONGRESS IN 
MARYLAND. 
I AM UNBOUGHT. 
LET ME REMIND YOU THE DEMOCRATS 
HAVE CONTROLLED . THIS PART OF 
BALTIMORE CITY FOR OVER 50 
YEARS AND THEY HAVE RUN THIS 
BEAUTIFUL PLACE IN THE GROUND. 
ABANDONED BUILDINGS AND LIQUOR 
STORES ON EVERY CORNER AND DRUG 
ADDICTS AND GUNS ON THE STREET. 
THAT IS THE NORM IN MANY 
NEIGHBORHOODS. 
YOU THINK MARYLAND TAXPAYERS 
WOULD BE GETTING A LOT SINCE 
OUR TAXES ARE OUT OF CONTROL 
BUT INSTEAD PAYING FOR 
CORRUPTION. 
THE SAME CYCLE EXISTS 
IN MANY P 
DEMOCRATIC RUN CITIES AND THE 
DEMOCRATS ASSUME THAT BLACK 
PEOPLE WILL VOTE FOR THEM NO 
MATTER HOW MUCH THEY LET US 
DOWN AND TAKE US FOR GRANTED. 
WE ARE SICK OF IT AND NOT GOING 
TO TAKE IT. 
THE DAYS OF BLINDLY SUPPORTING 
THE DEMOCRATS ARE COMING TO AN 
END. 
IN BALTIMORE WE HAD THE HIGHEST 
NUMBERS OF BLACK REPUBLICANS 
RUNNING THIS CYCLE. 
JOE 
BIDEN BELIEVES WE CAN'T 
THINK FOR OURSELVES THAT THE 
COLOR OF SOMEONE'S SKIN 
DICTATES THEIR POLITICAL VIEWS. 
WE ARE NOT DOING THAT ANYMORE. 
YOU HAVE NEGLECTED US. 
WE WANT SAFETY AND THE MOST OF 
THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT I AM 
STANDING IN RIGHT NOW IN WEST 
BALTIMORE. 
WE WANT HIGHER PAYING JOBS AND 
MORE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES AND 
LOWER TAXES AND SCHOOL CHOICE 
AND WE WANT A CHANCE TO GET 
AHEAD AND NOT JUST GET BY. 
THAT'S WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP 
PROMISED AND THAT IS WHAT 
PRESIDENT TRUMP NDDELIVERED. 
I WANT PRBALTIMORE TO BE AN 
EXAMPLE TO REPUBLICANS AROUND 
THE COUNTRY. 
THAT WE CAN OUCOMPETE IN OUR 
INNER CITIES IF WE REACH OUT TO 
THE CITIZENS AND DELIVER REAL 
RESULTS. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS ANVEBRINGING 
THIS COUNTRY BACK ROARING. 
BRINGING THE AMERICAN 
SPIRIT TO LIFE FOR ALL 
AMERICANS. 
SO I'M ASKING YOU TO HELP 
PRESIDENT TRUMP COMPLETE THIS 
GREAT AMERICAN COMEBACK. 
I'M ASKING YOU TO HELP 
ME START THIS GREAT BALTIMORE 
COMEBACK. 
THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS 
AMERICA. 
>> GOOD EVENING. 
I'M RONNA MCDANIEL CHAIRWOMAN 
OF THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL 
COMMITTEE. 
AND ON BEHALF OF EVERYONE IN 
OUR PARTY AND PRESIDENT TRUMP, 
THANK YOU FOR TURNING IN AS WE 
KICK OFF THIS HISTORIC 
CONVENTION. 
AS WE SPEAK TO YOU TONIGHT WE 
SEND OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS 
TO THOSE FACING TERRIBLE FIRES 
IN CALIFORNIA. 
RECOVERING FROM STORMS IN IOWA 
AND PREPARING FOR HURRICANES IN 
LOUISIANA AND THE GULF COAST. 
DEMOCRATS STARTED LAST WEEK 
WITH EVAN LONGANO, A FAMOUS 
HOLLYWOOD ACTRESS THAT PLAYED A 
HOUSEWIFE ON TV. 
I'M A ACTUALLY A REAL HOUSEWIFE 
AND A MOM FROM MICHIGAN WITH 
TWO WONDERFUL KIDS IN PUBLIC 
SCHOOLS WHO HAPPEN TO BE THE 
ONLY, ONLY THE SECOND WOMAN IN 
164 YEARS TO RUN THE REPUBLICAN 
PARTY. 
AND UNLIKE JOE ICBIDEN, PRESIDE 
TRUMP DIDN'T CHOOSE ME BECAUSE 
I'M A UMWOMAN, HE CHOSE ME 
BECAUSE I WAS THE BEST PERSON 
FOR THE JOB. 
FOUR YEARS AGO PRESIDENT TRUMP 
STARTED A MOMENT UNLIKE ANY 
OTHER. 
AND OVER THE NEXT FOUR DAYS WE 
WILL HEAR FROM A FEW OF THE 
MILLIONS OF HARD WORKING, EVERY 
DAY AMERICANS WHO HAVE 
BENEFITED FROM HIS LEADERSHIP. 
IF YOU WATCH THE DNC LAST WEEK 
YOU PROBABLY NOTICED THAT 
DEMOCRATS SPENT A LOT OF TIME 
TALKING ABOUT HOW MUCH THEY 
DESPISE OUR PRESIDENT. 
BUT WE HEARD VERY LITTLE ABOUT 
THE ACTUAL POLICIES. 
POLICIES THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN 
UNTHINKABLE A DECADE AGO. 
POLICIES LIKE BANNING FOSSIL 
FUEL, ELIMINATING PRIVATE 
HEALTH INSURANCE. 
TAX PAYER FUNDED HEALTH CARE 
FOR PEOPLE THAT COME HERE 
ILLEGALLY AND DEFUNDING THE 
POLICE. 
THEIR ARGUMENT FOR JOE BIDEN 
BOILED DOWN TO THE R FACT THAT 
THEY THINK HE IS A NICE GUY. 
WELL, LET ME TELL YOU, RAISING 
TAXES ON 82% OF AMERICANS IS 
NOT NICE. 
ELIMINATING TEN MILLION GOOD 
PAYING OIL AND GAS JOBS IS NOT 
NICE. 
POLICIES THAT FORCE JOBS TO 
FLEE OUR COUNTRY OR ALLOW 
ABORTION UP UNTIL THE POINT OF 
BIRTH ARE NOT NICE. 
THE TRUTH IS THERE IS ONLY ONE 
PERSON WHO HAS EMPHASIZED WITH 
EVERY DAY AMERICANS AND 
ACTUALLY BEEN FIGHTING FOR THEM 
OVER THE PAST FOUR YEARS. 
AND  THAT IS PRESIDENT DONALD 
TRUMP. 
IN ENTHE NEARLY FOUR YEARS I HA 
WORKED ON BEHALF OF PRESIDENT 
TRUMP I HAVE SEEN UP CLOSE A 
MAN THAT HAS A DEEP LOVE FOR 
FAMILY AND A MAP THAT HAS 
REFERENCE FOR THE PRESIDENCY 
AND WITH RESPECT TO FOR A RELAW 
ENFORCEMENT AND OUR MILITARY. 
I HAVE SEEN PRIVATE MOMENTS 
WHERE HE COMFORTS AMERICANS IN 
TIMES OF PAIN AND SADNESS. 
NOW, EVERYONE PAKNOWS HE CAN BE 
TOUGH. 
HE IS TOUGH WHEN HE TAKES ON 
CHINA. 
TOUGH WHEN HE WORKS TO FIX OUR 
UNFAIR TRADE DEALS. 
TOUGH WHEN HE FIGHTS TO SECURE 
OUR BORDERS. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS ALWAYS ECGOI 
TO BE TOUGH WHEN HE IS FIGHTING 
FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BECAUSE 
NICE GUY LIKE JOE CARES MORE 
ABOUT COUNTRIES KELIKE CHINA AN 
IRAN THAN THE UNITED STATES OF 
AMERICA. 
TONIGHT BEGINS TAA NEW CHAPTER  
THE GREAT AMERICAN STORY. 
A STORY THAT IS INSPIRED THE 
WORLD FOR GENERATIONS. 
WHEN WE FOREELECT PRESIDENT TRU 
THIS NOVEMBER, THE BEST IS YET 
TO COME. 
THIS ELECTION IS THE MOST 
IMPORTANT IN OUR LIFETIME. 
YOUR VOTE COUNTS MORE THAN 
EVER. 
IF YOU WANT TO CHECK YOUR 
VOTING STATUS, SECURE YOUR

WHEN YOU TAKE ON 
THE SWAMP, IT 
FIGHTS BACK, 
THEY TRIED THE 
RUSSIA HOPES, 
THE MOLAR 
INVESTIGATION 
AND THE FAKE 
IMPEACHMENT. 
BUT THIS 
PRESIDENT HAS 
DONE WHAT HE 
SAID TO DO, 
TAXES CUT, 
ECONOMY GROWING. 
OUT OF THE RENT 
DEAL, AND WAS IN 
JERUSALEM, 
HOSTAGES HOME

UM CA AGREEMENT, 
BUILDING THE 
WALL AND 
REBUILDING THE 
ECONOMY, I LOVE 
HIS INTENSITY 
AND HIS 
WILLINGNESS TO 
FIGHT EVERY DAY 
IN WASHINGTON, 
WHAT I ALSO 
APPRECIATE ABOUT 
THE PRESIDENT IS 
SOMETHING MOST 
AMERICANS NEVER 
GET TO SEE, HOW 
MUCH HE TRULY 
CARES ABOUT 
PEOPLE, OUR 
NEPHEW WAS 
KILLED IN A CAR 
ACCIDENT, HE 
GREW UP 
WRESTLING IN 
TRAINING WITH 
OUR BOYS, HIGH 
SCHOOL STATE 
CHAMPION, 
VARSITY ATHLETE. 
SATURDAY 
MORNING, THREE 
DAYS AFTER THE 
ACCIDENT, WHEN 
THE PRESIDENT 
CALLED THE ASKED 
HOW THE FAMILY 
WAS DOING, AND I 
SAID THEY'RE 
DOING A CHEMIST 
PRESENT, IT'S 
TOUGH, HE SAID 
LOSING A LOVED 
ONE IS ALWAYS 
DIFFICULT, AND 
REALLY TOUGH 
WHEN THERE'S SO 
YOUNG. 
AND I SAID I'M 
WALKING INTO THE 
HOUSE RIGHT NOW, 
THEY DON'T KNOW 
I'M TALKING TO 
YOU, BUT IF YOU 
WOULD BE WILLING 
TO SAY HELLO TO 
ELI'S DAD, YOU 
WOULD MAKE IT A 
LITTLE LESS 
TERRIBLE, WHAT'S 
HIS NAME THE 
PRESIDENT ASKED, 
AND I SAID TODD, 
THE PRESIDENT 
WANTS TO TALK TO 
YOU, FOR THE 
NEXT FIVE 
MINUTES, FAMILY 
AND FRIENDS SET 
COMPLETE SILENCE 
AS THE PRESIDENT 
TOOK TIME TO 
TALK TO A DADDY 
WAS HURTING. 
THAT IS THE 
PRESIDENT I'VE 
GOTTEN TO KNOW 
THE LAST FOUR 
YEARS. 
SHARING PRIVATE 
MOMENTS LIKE 
THIS WAS 
SOLDIERS, 
VICTIMS OF 
VIOLENT CRIME, 
AND PEOPLE 
WHO'VE HAD 
BUSINESSES 
DESTROYED BY THE 
MOB, MAKING 
AMERICA A GREAT 
AGAIN. 
GETTING HIM 
REELECTED, I'M 
ASKING YOU TO DO 
THE SAME, , 
BLESS OUR 
COUNTRY.>>> I'M 
NOT AN ACTOR, OR 
A POLITICIAN, I 
AM HERSCHEL 
WALKER, A 
FOOTBALL PLAYER 
BUT I'M ALSO A 
FATHER A MAN OF 
FAITH, IN A GOOD 
JUDGE OF 
CHARACTER. 
I'VE KNOWN 
DONALD TRUMP FOR 
37 YEARS, NOT 
JUST CASUALLY 
RUNNING INTO 
HIM. 
A DEEP PERSONAL 
FRIENDSHIP. 
HE SET OUT TO 
LEARN, LEARNING 
ABOUT THE 
HISTORY OF THE 
TEAM, THE 
PLAYERS AND THE 
COACHES, EVERY 
DETAIL, THEN HE 
USED WHAT HE 
LEARNED TO MAKE 
THE TEAM BETTER. 
I WATCHED HIM IN 
THE BOARDROOM, 
HE CAN BE IN THE 
MIDDLE OF A BIG 
MEETING, BUT IF 
ONE OF THE KIDS 
WAS ON THE 
PHONE, HE WOULD 
DROP EVERYTHING 
TO TAKE THE 
CALL, FAMILY 
SHOULD BE YOUR 
TOP PRIORITY. 
SECURITY GUARDS 
AND WAITERS, 
MAKING HIM FEEL 
SPECIAL, HE KNEW 
WHO THEY WERE, 
MAKING THE 
COUNTRY RUNNING, 
THEY BUILD AND 
DRIVE AND THEY 
DELIVER. 
HE TOLD ME MAKE 
AN EFFORT TO GET 
TO KNOW PEOPLE, 
I REMEMBER THEIR 
NAMES, AND THAT 
STUCK WITH ME, I 
PLAN TO TAKE HIS 
KIDS TO DISNEY 
WORLD, AND THE 
LAST MINUTE, HE 
SAID HE WOULD 
LIKE TO JOIN US, 
IT'S A SMALL 
WORLD RIDE, 
SOMETHING TO 
SEE. 
SHOWING YOU WHAT 
A CARING AND 
LOVING FATHER HE 
IS, IT HURT MY 
SOUL TO HEAR 
TERRIBLE NAMES 
THEY CALLED 
DONALD, THE 
WORST ONE IS 
RACIST, I TAKE 
IT AS A PERSONAL 
INSULT THAT 
PEOPLE WOULD 
THINK I'VE HAD A 
37 YEAR 
FRIENDSHIP WITH 
A RACIST, PEOPLE 
WHO SAY THAT 
DON'T KNOW WHAT 
THEY'RE TALKING 
ABOUT, GROWING 
UP IN THE DEEP 
SOUTH, I'VE SEEN 
RACISM UP CLOSE, 
I KNOW WHAT IT 
IS, AND IT IS 
DONALD TRUMP. 
JUST BECAUSE 
SOMEBODY LOVES 
AND RESPECTS THE 
FLAG, OUR 
NATIONAL ANTHEM 
IN OUR COUNTRY, 
DOESN'T MEAN 
THEY DON'T CARE 
ABOUT SOCIAL 
JUSTICE, I CARE 
ABOUT ALL OF 
THOSE THINGS, 
AND SO DOES 
DONALD TRUMP, HE 
SHOWS HOW MUCH 
HE CARES IN THE 
BLACK COMMUNITY 
THROUGH HIS 
ACTIONS, THEY 
SPEAK LOUDER 
THAN STICKERS OR 
SLOGANS ON A 
JERSEY, HE KEEPS 
ON FIGHTING, 
IMPROVING THE 
LIFE OF ALL 
AMERICANS, 
WORKING NIGHT 
AND DAY, HE 
NEVER STOPS, HE 
LEAVES NOTHING 
ON THE FIELD, 
THE WAY OF ALL 
THE GOALS. 
PEOPLE ON THE 
OPPOSING TEAM, 
DIDN'T LIKE IT 
WHEN I RAN OVER 
THEM EASIER, 
THAT'S HOW YOU 
GIVE AND GET THE 
JOB DONE, GIVE 
HIM FOUR MORE 
YEARS, HE WILL 
ACCOMPLISH SO 
MUCH ALL BY 
HIMSELF UNDER 
CONSTANT ATTACK, 
BUT THERE IS 
STILL MORE WORK 
TO BE DONE. 
IF YOU LOVE 
AMERICA AND YOU 
WANT TO MAKE IT 
BETTER, DONALD 
TRUMP IS YOUR 
PRESIDENT, HE'S 
MY PRESIDENT, 
AND I'M BLESSED 
TO CALL HIM A 
FRIEND.
>> THE CLASSIC 
FILM IT'S A 
WONDERFUL LIFE, 
HE WAS GIVEN A 
GREAT GIFT. 
TO SEE WHAT THE 
ROLE WOULD BE 
LIKE THAT, WE 
WOULD LIKE TO 
GIVE YOU THE 
SAME GIFT, 
WITHOUT YOU WE 
WOULD ALL BE 
LIVING IN 
POTTERSVILLE, 
SOLD OUT TO A 
CROOKED MR. OR A 
CROOKED MRS. 
POTTER, WITH NO 
HOPE TO ESCAPE 
EXCEPT DEATH 
ITSELF, I 
WOULDN'T BE 
ALIVE IF IT 
WASN'T FOR YOU. 
ABOUT FIVE YEARS 
AGO I WAS THE 
VICTIM OF A 
NOTORIOUSLY 
DEADLY MEDICAL 
ERROR, I 
SURVIVED, BUT 
ONLY TO BE 
DIAGNOSED WITH A 
RARE AND 
TERMINAL BONE 
CANCER. 
THE DEMOCRATS 
LOVE TO TALK 
ABOUT HEALTHCARE 
BEING A HUMAN 
RIGHT, BUT RIGHT 
TO WHAT? 
I WILL TELL YOU, 
IT IS A RIGHT TO 
MARIJUANA, 
OPIOIDS, AND THE 
RIGHT TO DIE 
WITH DIGNITY. 
A POLITICALLY 
CORRECT WAY OF 
SAYING ASSISTED 
SUICIDE. 
A BURDEN TO MY 
FAMILY AND MY 
COUNTRY, BY 
CHOOSING TO DIE 
EARLY, SAVE THE 
LIVES OF OTHERS, 
RATHER THAN 
WASTING THEM ON 
A LOST CAUSE, 
WHEN I FEEL THE 
CHEMOTHERAPY, 
NOBODY WANTED ME 
IN THEIR 
CLINICAL TRIALS, 
DIDN'T GIVE ME 
THE RIGHT TO TRY 
EXPERIMENTAL 
TREATMENTS, YOU 
DID, THE WAY 
WE'VE BEEN 
WAITING FOR 
MONTHS, IMAGINE 
20/20 WHATEVER 
IT'S LIKE 
FIGHTING FOR 
YOUR LIFE 
WITHOUT DONALD 
TRUMP FIGHTING 
FORD, TOO. 
IN JANUARY THERE 
WOULD HAVE BEEN 
NO CHINA TRAVEL 
BAN, MILLIONS 
WOULD'VE DIED 
AND MILLIONS 
WOULD'VE BEEN 
INFECTED, NO 
RECORD LEVELS OF 
TESTING, NO 
RIGHT TO TRY, NO 
FAST TRACK, 
OPERATION WARP 
SPEED, WITHOUT 
DONALD TRUMP IS 
OUR PATIENT 
ADVOCATE FOR THE 
PAST FOUR YEARS, 
STILL IN EVEN 
MORE LIVES FOR 
MORE FAMILIES. 
AND NO FUTURE 
EXCEPT DYING ON 
WAIT LISTS, NO 
ACCOUNTABILITY, 
AT THE VA, AND 
THE BRAVE 
VETERANS, 
SUFFERING LONG 
WAIT TIMES, AND 
NO ACCESS TO 
FASTER CARE, 
INSULIN AND 
OTHER DRUG 
PRICES WOULD 
HAVE CONTINUED 
TO RISE, WE 
STILL WOULD BE 
STUCK WITH THE 
INFAMOUS 
INDIVIDUAL 
MANDATE, , FOR 
BID WITH THE 
NEXT FOUR YEARS 
WOULD LOOK LIKE, 
JOE BIDEN'S 
AMERICA, CHINA 
WOULD CONTROL 
OUR DRUG 
PRODUCTION, 
GOVERNMENT RUN 
HEALTHCARE, WE 
WOULD BE ABLE TO 
KEEP HER 
DOCTORS, WE WILL 
BE LUCKY IF WE 
COULD SEE ANY 
DOCTOR, 
SOCIALIZED 
MEDICINE, YOU 
DON'T BEAT THE 
ODDS, YOU BECOME 
THE ODDS, I 
WOULD LOSE MY 
RIGHT TO TRY. 
JUST LIKE 
CHARLIE, THE 
TERMINALLY ILL 
BRITISH BABY, 
WHOSE GOVERNMENT 
RUN HEALTHCARE 
SYSTEM DECIDED 
IT WAS TOO 
EXPENSIVE AND 
TOO CRUEL TO 
KEEP HIM ALIVE. 
SO YOU SEE MR. 
PRESIDENT, 
YOU'VE DONE SO 
MUCH MORE THAN 
YOUR PROMISES 
MADE IN PROMISES 
KEPT. 
NUMBERS ONLY 
TELL PART OF THE 
STORY, WE ARE 
THE REST OF IT, 
FAX WITH FACES, 
AMERICANS WOULD 
STILL BE 
FORGOTTEN, IF 
YOU AND OUR 
FAVORITE FIRST 
LADY HAD NOT 
GIVEN UP YOUR 
OWN WONDERFUL 
LIFE, AND MR. 
PRESIDENT, THE 
RICHEST MAN IN 
THE WORLD, 
MAKING AMERICA 
STRONG AGAIN, 
SACRIFICE THE 
LIFE YOU BUILD 
TO MAKE AMERICA 
PROUD AGAIN, AND 
YOU RISK 
EVERYTHING TO 
MAKE AMERICA 
SAFE AGAIN, IT'S 
A WONDERFUL

AMERICA GREAT 
AGAIN, ON 
NOVEMBER 3, WE 
ARE GOING TO 
KEEP AMERICA 
GREAT.

MIGHT BE 
WONDERING WHY AM 
I SPEAKING AT

NATIONAL 
CONVENTION, 
THAT'S A FAIR 
QUESTION, HERE'S 
YOUR ANSWER. 
THE DEMOCRATIC

FORCED TO BE 
THERE FOR 
DECADES AND

THIS IS NO TIME 
FOR SLEEPING IN 
THE BASEMENT, 
JOE BIDEN HAS 
HAD 47 YEARS TO 
PRODUCE RESULTS, 
HE HAS BEEN ALL 
TALK AND NO 
ACTION, JUST 
LIKE SO MANY OF 
THE DEMOCRATS, 
MAKING PROMISES 
TO BLACK VOTERS 
FOR DECADES. 
WHEN PRESIDENT 
TRUMP SOUGHT TO 
EARN THE BLACK 
VOTE, DEMOCRATIC 
PARTY LEADERS 
WENT CRAZY, 
NANCY PELOSI AND 
CHUCK SCHUMER 
LITERALLY 
STARTED WEARING,

WITH NO INDOOR 
PLUMBING. 
VERY LIMITED 
EDUCATION, BUT 
THEY INSTILLED 
IN US A STRONG 
WORK ETHIC, THAT 
DROVE ME FROM 
THE TOBACCO 
FIELDS OF NORTH 
CAROLINA TO 
THOSE HALLOWED 
HALLS OF THE 
GEORGIA GENERAL 
ASSEMBLY. 
MY PARENTS 
TAUGHT ME IF I 
BELIEVED IN ,, 
WORKED HARD AND 
TREATED EVERY 
PERSON FAIRLY, 
THERE WAS NO 
LIMIT TO WHAT WE 
COULD ACHIEVE. 
I ATTENDED NORTH 
CAROLINA CENTRAL 
UNIVERSITY, AN 
HISTORICAL BLACK 
COLLEGE, FOR 
GENERATIONS, THE 
INCUBATORS, 
DEVELOPING BLACK 
SCHOLARS IN MATH 
SCIENCE AND 
RELIGION, 
ENGINEERING AND 
POLITICS, FOR 
THE BLACK 
SUCCESS. 
BUT DEMOCRATS 
HAVE NOT TREATED 
THEM THAT WAY, 
WHEN PRESIDENT 
TRUMP TOOK 
OFFICE, HE 
CHANGED 
EVERYTHING, HE 
DELIVERED 
HISTORIC 
FUNDING, AND 
GUARANTEED IT 
FOR 10 YEARS, 
SOMETHING THAT 
HAS NEVER 
HAPPENED IN THE 
HISTORY OF THE 
COUNTRY. 
THAT GAVE THEM 
STABILITY, A 
CHANCE TO GROW, 
AND PRODUCE THE 
NEXT GENERATION 
OF BLACK 
LEADERS. 
THAT'S RIGHT, 
DONALD TRUMP DID 
THAT, ALSO 
SUPPORTED SCHOOL 
CHOICE TO ENSURE 
THAT NO CHILD, 
NO MATTER THEIR 
RACE OR ZIP 
CODE, IS LEFT 
BEHIND, EVERY 
CHILD SHOULD 
HAVE ACCESS TO A 
QUALITY 
EDUCATION. 
BUT EDUCATION IS 
JUST THE 
BEGINNING. 
THE PRESIDENT 
BUILT THE MOST 
INCLUSIVE 
ECONOMY EVER, 
RECORD LOW 
UNEMPLOYMENT FOR 
AFRICAN-
AMERICANS AND 
RECORD HIGH 
PARTICIPATION IN 
THE WORKFORCE, 
OPPORTUNITY 
ZONES AND THE 
TRUMP TAX BILL 
THAT WOULD DRIVE 
INVESTMENT INTO 
OUR COMMUNITIES 
FOR DECADES TO 
COME. 
HE PUT THE 
INTEREST OF 
AMERICAN 
WORKERS, AND 
ESPECIALLY BLACK 
WORKERS, FIRST. 
THAT'S RIGHT, 
DONALD TRUMP, 
DONALD TRUMP DID 
THAT. 
HISTORIC 
CRIMINAL JUSTICE 
REFORM, THE 
POLICY OF 
INCARCERATION OF 
BLACK PEOPLE, NO 
OTHER THAN JOE 
BIDEN, DEMOCRATS 
WOULD DO IT, 
OBAMA DID NOT 
WANT TO DO IT, 
AND JOE BIDEN AND
KAMALA HARRIS 
WOULDN'T DO IT, 
BUT DONALD TRUMP 
DID IT, HE'S 
MAKING OUR 
COMMUNITIES 
SAFER,  AS A 
FORMER EXECUTIVE 
OF DeKALB 
COUNTY, GEORGIA, 
I DIRECTED ONE 
OF THE LARGEST 
DEPARTMENTS IN 
THE SOUTHEAST, 
I'VE SEEN TRAGIC 
SHOOTINGS ON 
BOTH SIDES, 
OFFICERS KILLING 
CITIZENS, AND 
CITIZENS KILLING 
OFFICERS IN THE 
LINE OF DUTY. 
POLICE OFFICERS 
ARE FELLOW 
CITIZENS, THEY 
LIVE IN OUR 
COUNTRY, THEY 
HAVE FAMILIES, 
TOO. 
THEY LIVE IN OUR 
COMMUNITIES, 
UNFORTUNATELY 
DEMOCRATS HAVE 
TURNED THEIR 
BACKS ON OUR 
BRAVE POLICE 
OFFICERS, THEY 
CALL IT 
DEFUNDING, IT'S 
A DANGER TO THE 
CITIES, 
NEIGHBORHOODS 
AND CHILDREN. 
ISN'T IT IRONIC 
THAT DEMOCRAT 
POLITICIANS A 
PERSONAL 
SECURITY, WHY 
DON'T THEY FORGO 
THEIR SECURITY 
AND REPLACE THEM 
WITH SOCIAL 
WORKERS, 
ESPECIALLY 
BECAUSE THAT IS 
WHAT THEY WANT 
FOR YOU AND ME. 
OUR POLICE NEED 
MORE FUNDING, 
NOT LESS, FOR 
PSYCHOLOGICAL 
EVALUATIONS, 
NONLETHAL 
RESTRAINT 
TECHNOLOGY, AND 
MORE DE-
ESCALATION AND 
USE OF FORCE 
TRAINING. 
THESE ARE THE 
COMMONSENSE 
SOLUTIONS THAT 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
SUPPORTS, A 
TRUE, SINCERE 
POLICE REFORM, 
THAT'S RIGHT, 
DONALD TRUMP DID 
THAT, TOO. 
EDUCATION, JOBS, 
SAFETY, 
SECURITY, ON 
ISSUE AFTER 
ISSUE, AND IN 
JUST A SINGLE 
TERM, HE 
DESTROYED 
NEGATIVE FORCES 
THAT HAVE 
VICTIMIZED THE 
BLACK COMMUNITY 
FOR DECADES. 
GIVING US 
OPPORTUNITY TO 
RISE. 
WHEN I MADE THE 
PUBLIC 
ANNOUNCEMENT OF 
MY SUPPORT 
PRESIDENT TRUMP, 
ALL HECK LOOSE. 
I WAS 
THREATENED, COLD 
AND 
EMBARRASSMENT, 
AND ASKED TO 
RESIGN BY MY OWN 
PARTY. 
UNFORTUNATELY, 
THAT IS 
CONSISTENT WITH 
THE DEMOCRATIC 
PARTY, 
INDEPENDENT 
THINKING, BLACK 
MEN AND WOMEN, 
I'M HERE TO TELL 
YOU, THAT BLACK 
VOICES ARE 
BECOMING MORE 
WOKE AND LOUDER 
THAN EVER. 
THE DEMOCRATIC 
PARTY HAS BECOME 
INFECTED DID 
WITH THE 
PANDEMIC OF 
INTOLERANCE, A 
TREE, SOCIALISM, 
ANTI-LAW 
ENFORCEMENT 
BUYERS, AND A 
DANGEROUS 
TOLERANCE FOR 
PEOPLE WHO 
ATTACK OTHERS, 
DESTROY THE 
PROPERTY, AND 
TERRORIZE OUR 
OWN COMMUNITIES. 
THAT IS WHAT THE 
SELECTION IS ALL 
ABOUT, AND 
THAT'S WHY RIGHT 
NOW, MORE THAN 
EVER, MORE THAN 
EVER BEFORE, 
AMERICA NEEDS 
DONALD TRUMP IN 
THE OVAL OFFICE 
FOR ANOTHER FOUR 
YEARS. 
, BLESS YOU, GOD 
BLESS YOU AND 
VOTE DONALD J 
TRUMP. 
THANK YOU.
>>> IN 2018, A 
GUNMAN WALKED 
INTO MARJORY 
STONEMAN DOUGLAS 
HIGH SCHOOL AND 
CHANGED MY LIFE 
FOREVER. 
MY NAME IS 
ANDREW HIS NAME 
IS WORTH SAYING. 
ONE OF THE 
SENIORS WALKING 
THE HALLWAYS WAS 
MY BEAUTIFUL 
DAUGHTER, ADELE, 
SHE WAS JUST 
MONTHS AWAY FROM 
GRADUATING AND 
BEGINNING A NEW 
LIFE, WE WERE SO 
PROUD OF THE 
WOMAN SHE HAD 
BECOME. 
BUT IN THE 
HALLWAY ON THE 
THIRD FLOOR, THE 
GUNMAN SAW 
MEADOW AND SHUT 
HER DOWN THE 
HALLWAY. 
HITTING HER FOUR 
TIMES. 
AFTER SHE WAS 
SHOT IN ON THE 
FLOOR, SHE 
CRAWLED OVER TO 
ANOTHER STUDENT, 
A FRESHMAN GIRL, 
TO PROTECT HER, 
SHE DRAPED HER 
BODY OVER HER 
AND THE SCUMBAG 
GUN MAN SHOT MY 
DAUGHTER AT 
POINT BLANK 
RANGE FIVE MORE 
TIMES. 
KILLING MEADOW 
AND THE GIRL SHE 
WAS SHIELDING. 
SHE HAD HER 
WHOLE LIFE AHEAD 
OF HER, AND IN 
THAT LIFE, SHE 
COULD'VE DONE 
ANYTHING AND 
BEEN ANYTHING. 
SO MANY MOMENTS 
THAT I WAITED SO 
LONG FOR WERE 
TAKEN FROM ME. 
I DIDN'T GET TO 
DROP HER OFF AT 
COLLEGE, I DID 
GET TO WALK HER 
DOWN THE AISLE, 
BUT EVERY MOMENT 
WAS TAKEN FROM 
HER, AND FOR 
WHAT? 
I NEVER WANTED 
THIS TO BECOME A 
POLITICAL 
SPECTACLE BUT IT 
DID, I NEVER 
WANTED TO MEET 
THE PRESIDENT 
LIKE THIS BUT I 
DID, I WAS 
INVITED TO THE 
WHITE HOUSE, THE 
TRUTH IS, I HAD 
JUST BURIED MY 
DAUGHTER THAT 
WEEK, I WASN'T 
REALLY 
INTERESTED IN 
PUBLIC EVENTS 
LIKE A TOUR OR A 
PHOTO OP, I WAS 
INTERESTED IN 
ANSWERS AND 
SOLUTIONS, SO 
THE PRESIDENT 
WANTED TO MEET 
ME PERSONALLY, 
AND I SAID I 
WOULD GO, THEY 
SAID OF COURSE, 
THAT WAS THE 
PLAN, AT THE 
WHITE HOUSE, MY 
FAMILY AND I SAT 
WITH THE 
PRESIDENT IN THE 
OVAL OFFICE, AND 
TOLD HIM ABOUT 
MEADOW, AND I 
TOLD HIM WHAT WE 
KNEW, HIS 
ADMINISTRATION 
NEEDED TO TAKE A 
CLOSER LOOK AT 
WHAT WENT WRONG 
AND WHY, AND I 
GOT TO SEE WHO 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
REALLY IS, A 
GOOD MAN AND A 
GREAT LISTENER 
AND HE CUTS 
THROUGH THE BS. 
THAN THE 
PRESIDENT DID 
WHAT HE SAID HE 
WOULD DO, HE 
TOOK ACTION, HE 
FORMED A SCHOOL 
SAFETY 
COMMISSION THAT 
ISSUED DOZENS OF 
RECOMMENDATIONS 
TO MAKE SCHOOLS 
SAFER, BUT I BET 
YOU NEVER HEARD 
ABOUT THAT, 
INSTEAD, THE 
MEDIA TURNED MY 
DAUGHTER'S 
MURDER INTO A 
COORDINATED 
ATTACK ON 
PRESIDENT TRUMP, 
REPUBLICANS AND 
THE SECOND 
AMENDMENT, IN 
FACT, WHEN 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
ASKED ME AND 
OTHER PARENTS OF 
CHILDREN THAT 
WERE MURDERED IN 
SCHOOL SHOOTINGS 
TO JOIN HIM AS 
HE KNOWS THE 
COMMISSION'S 
FINDINGS, THE 
FIRST QUESTION 
WASN'T ABOUT 
PROTECTING KIDS, 
SHOCKINGLY, THEY 
ASKED ABOUT THE 
GOVERNMENT 
SHUTDOWN. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
TURNED TO ME AND 
SAID ANDY, CAN 
YOU BELIEVE 
THESE PEOPLE, WE 
ARE TRYING TO 
TALK ABOUT 
SCHOOL SAFETY 
AND THIS IS WHAT 
THEY DO, THAT I 
COULD BELIEVE 
IT, AFTER MY 
DAUGHTER'S 
MURDER, THE 
MEDIA DIDN'T 
SEEM INTERESTED 
IN THE FACTS, SO 
I FOUND MYSELF, 
I LEARNED THAT 
GUN CONTROL LAWS 
DIDN'T FEEL MY 
DAUGHTER, PEOPLE 
DID, THE GUN MAN 
THAT THREATENED 
TO KILL HIS 
CLASSMATES 
BEFORE, HE HAD 
THREATENED TO 
RAPE THEM AND 
THREATENED TO 
SHOOT OF THE 
SCHOOL, EVERY 
RED FLAG YOU CAN 
IMAGINE, BUT THE 
SCHOOL DIDN'T 
JUST MISS THE 
RED FLAGS, THEY 
KNOWINGLY 
IGNORED THEM. 
FAR LEFT 
DEMOCRATS MADE 
THE SHOOTING 
POSSIBLE BECAUSE 
THEY IMPLEMENTED 
SOMETHING THEY 
CALLED 
RESTORATIVE 
JUSTICE, THIS 
POLICY, WHICH 
JUST BLAMES 
TEACHERS FOR 
STUDENTS 
FAILURES, PUTS 
KIDS AND 
TEACHERS AT 
RISK, AND MAKES 
SHOOTINGS MORE 
LIKELY, A 
PIONEERING 
APPROACH. 
I WAS FINE WITH 
THE OLD 
APPROACH, IT WAS 
CALLED 
DISCIPLINE AND 
SAFETY, BUT THE 
OBAMA AND BIDEN 
ADMINISTRATION 
TOOK PARKLAND'S 
BAD POLICIES IN 
FORCE THEM TO DO 
THAT. 
HE PUT AN END TO 
THAT, THAT MEANT 
THE WORLD TO ME. 
IT'S HARD TO 
TELL MUCH ABOUT 
WHAT MR. BIDEN 
UNDERSTANDS, HE 
HAS CAMPAIGNED 
ABOUT BRINGING 
BACK RESTORATIVE 
JUSTICE AS PART 
OF HIS UNITY 
PLATFORM, WITH 
BERNIE SANDERS 
AND HAS PLEDGED 
TO IMPLEMENT 
SCHOOL DISTRICTS 
ACROSS AMERICA. 
BUT HE DOESN'T 
EVEN SEEM TO 
KNOW WHEN THE 
SHOOTING 
HAPPENED, HE 
SAID HE WAS VICE 
PRESIDENT WHEN 
HE -- WHEN IT 
HAPPENED BUT HE 
WASN'T, HE MAY 
NOT KNOW WHEN MY 
DAUGHTER WAS 
MURDERED BUT I 
DO, FEBRUARY 14, 
2018. 
HE MAY NOT KNOW 
THAT THESE 
POLICIES MAKE 
SHOOTINGS MORE 
LIKELY BUT I DO, 
MR. BIDEN MAY 
NOT KNOW WHO WAS 
VICE PRESIDENT 
THAT DAY, BUT I 
DO, IT WASN'T 
JOE BIDEN, IT 
WAS MIKE PENCE, 
AND I KNEW WHO 
THE PRESIDENT 
WAS, IT WASN'T 
BROCK OBAMA, IT 
WAS DONALD J 
TRUMP AND HE 
TOOK ACTION. 
I BELIEVE THE 
SAFETY OF OUR 
KIDS DEPENDS ON 
WHETHER THIS MAN 
IS REELECTED, 
JOIN ME TO MAKE 
THAT HAPPEN. 
MR. PRESIDENT, 
MYSELF AND 
MILLIONS OF 
AMERICANS 
APPRECIATE AND 
LOVE YOU, , 
BLESS AMERICA, 
AND , BLESS OUR 
PRESIDENT, 
DONALD J TRUMP. 
THANK YOU.

WITH DONALD 
TRUMP OF THE 
LAST TWO YEARS, 
IF THERE IS ONE 
CONSTANT THEME, 
IT'S HOW MUCH HE 
CARES ABOUT THE 
HARD-WORKING 
PEOPLE THAT 
WASHINGTON LEFT

I'VE SEEN THIS 
FIRSTHAND, AFTER 
I WAS SHOT ON A 
BASEBALL FIELD 
BY LEFTIST 
GUNMEN, I WENT 
TO A HOSPITAL

THE HOSPITAL 
ALONG WITH THE 
FIRST LADY, THEY 
CONSOLED MY WIFE 
AND THEY WERE 
THERE FOR MY 
FAMILY AND MY 
DARKEST HOURS, 
HE WOULD CALL TO 
CHECK ON ME 
THROUGHOUT THE 
FOLLOWING WEEKS 
TO SEE HOW I WAS 
DOING, THAT'S 
THE KIND OF 
PERSON HE IS IN 
THE SIDE OF 
DONALD TRUMP 
THAT THE MEDIA 
WILL NEVER SHOW 
YOU. 
THERE'S A LOT AT 
STAKE, THIS IS 
AN ELECTION 
BETWEEN A PARTY 
THAT WANTS TO 
BURN DOWN THE 
FOUNDATIONS OF 
THE PARTY TO THE

THAT WANTS TO

HUGE WINS FOR 
AMERICAN

JOE BIDEN MADE 
HOLLOW PROMISES, 
DONALD TRUMP 
TOOK ACTION AND 
DELIVERED

REFORM. 
JOE BIDEN CLAIMS 
TO CARE ABOUT 
THE WORKING MAN, 
BUT MILLIONS OF 
GOOD

JOBS WERE 
SHIPPED OVERSEAS 
DURING THE OBAMA

COUNTRIES LIKE

>>> I'M SEAN 
PARNELL, IT'S AN 
HONOR TO BE 
HERE, IN 2006, 
THE ARMY SEMI TO 
AFGHANISTAN AS A 
YOUNG PLATOON 
LEADER PLACED IN 
COMMAND OF 
AMERICANS FROM 
EVERY CORNER OF 
OUR PLANET, OUR 
PLATOON THE 
REFLECTED THE 
DIVERSITY OF THE 
NATION, EVERY 
RACE, CREED AND 
RELIGION, 
DESPITE THE 
DIFFERENCES, WE 
WERE BOUND 
TOGETHER AS 
BROTHERS, ON 
JUNE 10, 2006, 
OUR PLATOON WAS 
ATTACKED JUST 
AFTER DAWN, 
OUTNUMBERED 10-1,
WE HAD 24 MINUTE 
DAY, AND WOUNDED 
THREE TIMES IN 
THE FIGHTING, 
WOUNDED WITHIN 
THE 1st MINUTE, 
NEARLY A THIRD 
OF MY PLATOON, 
FIGHTING FOR THE 
LAST ROUNDS OF 
AMMUNITION, WHEN 
IT WAS OVER, WE 
HELD THE HILL, 
IN THE FACE OF 
DEATH, ORDINARY 
AMERICANS BECOME 
HEROES IN THE 
DARKEST HOUR, 
WHEN OUR 
SURVIVAL 
DEPENDED ON IT, 
WE LEARNED AN 
IMPORTANT 
LESSON, WE ALL 
BLEED RED, OUR 
DIFFERENCES DID 
NOT DEFINE US, 
WE WERE 
UNBEATABLE. 
AFTER 485 DAYS 
OF COMBAT, I 
CAME HOME EAGER 
TO ENJOY THE 
FREEDOMS I 
RISKED MY LIFE 
TO DEFEND, I 
WATCHED WITH 
ALARM, AS THE 
PARTY OF MY 
GRANDFATHER 
TURNED AGAINST 
THE VERY PEOPLE 
IT PROFESSED TO 
REPRESENT, AS 
JOE BIDEN SPIT 
VENOM AT AN AUTO 
WORKER WHO DARED 
TO QUESTION HIS 
INTENT TO 
DISMANTLE THE 
SECOND AMENDMENT.
WHERE DEMOCRATS 
ONCE STOOD FOR 
LAW-ABIDING 
AMERICANS WHO 
DISPLAY THE FLAG 
WITH PRIDE, THIS 
NEW PARTY 
CONSIDERS PEOPLE 
UNEDUCATED 
RACISTS CLEANING 
TO GUNS AND 
BIBLES, THE 
PARTY OF HARRY 
TRUMAN, BECAME 
HEDGE FUND 
MANAGERS, 
HOLLYWOOD 
CELEBRITIES, 
UNIVERSITY 
PROFESSORS, I 
LOOK ACROSS THE 
AISLE AND I 
DON'T SEE A 
PARTY THAT WANTS 
YOU TO PURSUE 
YOUR DREAMS, I 
SEE A PARTY THAT 
WANTS TO DICTATE 
WITH THOSE 
DREAMS ARE. 
I DON'T SEE A 
PARTY THAT WANTS 
YOU TO BE FREE, 
I SEE A PARTY 
THAT WANTS TO 
CHAIN YOU TO 
CONFORMITY AND 
DESTROY ANYBODY 
THEY DEEM TO BE 
A HERETIC. 
I SWORE IN BOTH, 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
HAS SWORN TO DO 
THE SAME, THAT'S 
WHY HE HAS 
ADVANCED FREEDOM 
DESPITE SAVAGE 
POLITICAL 
ATTACKS TO 
OVERCOME THE 
AGENDA OF THE 
RADICAL LEFT. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
HAS RELEASED THE 
ECONOMIC MIGHT 
OF THIS NATION 
LIKE NO OTHER 
PRESIDENT IN 
THIS HISTORY, 
RISING TIDE OF 
WORKING 
FAMILIES, AND 
RECLAIMING JOBS, 
THAT THEY SAID 
WOULD NEVER 
RETURN, FIERCELY 
DEFENDED THE 
BESIEGED FIRST 
AND 2nd 
AMENDMENT, AND 
THAT IS JUST A 
START. 
WITH FOUR MORE 
YEARS, IMAGINE

ACHIEVE BY 
SIMPLY WORKING 
WITH OUR

FUTURE, I STAND

WE HAD FACED A 
HISTORIC 
CROSSROADS WITH 
CAREER 
POLITICIANS 
PROMISING CHANGE 
IN EVERY 
ELECTION, 
DELIVERING 
EMPTINESS. 
WE CHOSE A 
DIFFERENT PATH. 
A MAN WHO WAS 
NOT A 
POLITICIAN. 
AND MAN WHO CARES
. A MAN WHO 
WORKS TIRELESSLY 
FOR YOU. 
STILL, 
POLITICIANS GAVE 
DECEPTION AND 
FANNED THE FLAMES
. WE ALL KNOW IT 
IS EASY TO 
CRITICIZE BUT IT 
TAKES A TRUE 
LEADER TO SOLVE 
PROBLEMS. 
COVID-19, WHILE 
OTHERS 
CRITICIZED, 
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S
SWIFT ACTION 
SAVED LIVES. 
OUR PRESIDENT IS

BASICALLY WHAT 
HAPPENED WITH ME 
AS I TRAVELED 
OVER TO THE 
COUNTRY OF IRAN. 
IT TURNED OUT IT 
WAS A MAJOR TRAP 
AND I WAS 
APPREHENDED 
THERE. 
I WENT THROUGH A 
LOT IN THE 
AMERICAN JUSTICE 
AND IRANIAN 
JUSTICE SYSTEM. 
RAN IS AN HIT 
TERRORIST REGIME

NEPAL. ON BEHALF 
OF MY FAMILY AND 
MYSELF, THANK 
YOU, PRESIDENT 
TRUMP FOR 
GETTING US OUT 
AND GETTING US

THE DARKEST 
MOMENT OF OUR 
WHOLE TIME 
TOGETHER IS WHEN 
YOUR LETTER TO 
MY WIFE CAME AND 
GAVE HER HOPE 
AND PEACE AND 
FROM THAT TIME 
FORWARD AS MORE 
PEOPLE GOT 
INVOLVED 
ESPECIALLY 
AMBASSADOR OF 
INDIA, THINGS 
BECAME MORE 
PEACEFUL AND THE 
HOPE WAS THERE 
FOR THE LAST 
FOUR MONTHS AND 
WE REALLY ARE 
GLAD TO BE HOME 
BECAUSE THEY 
WERE PLANNING ON 
KEEPING ME FOR 3 
TO 5 YEARS. 
THE ORIGINAL 
CHARGE WAS 3 TO 
5 YEARS AND THAT 
WAS CLEARED AND 
THEN THEY CAME 
UP WITH NEW 
CHARGES FOR 
SEVEN YEARS.

RESPONDED VERY 
WELL TO MY 
REQUEST SO WE 
APPRECIATE THAT.

AROUND THE WORLD 
SINCE PRESIDENT 
TRUMP HAS TAKEN 
OFFICE THE 
UNITED STATES' 
POSITION AS A 
GLOBAL 
SUPERPOWER HAS 
DECLINED. 
HE IS NOT 
TRUSTED BY OUR 
ALLIES. 
OUR ALLIES 
GENERALLY TRY TO 
AVOID HIM. THE 
ADVERSARY THING 
THAT THEY CAN 
FLATTER AND 
MANIPULATE HIM 
AND THEY HAVE 
SEEN HIM AS 
SOMEONE TEARING 
DOWN THE VERY 
INSTITUTION THE 
UNITED STATES 
HELPED CREATE 
AFTER WORLD WAR 
II WITH A TAX ON 
NATO, ATTACKS ON 
CLIMATE 
AGREEMENTS AND 
IT LEAVES IN 
GENERAL A LACK 
OF RESPECT FOR 
THE UNITED 
STATES AND THAT 
IS SOMETHING 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
SAID THAT UNDER 
HIS LEADERSHIP 
THE U.S. WOULD 
BE RESPECTED 
MORE BUT A 
RECENT OPINION 
POLE FOUND THAT  
UNDER PRESIDENT 
TRUMP, THE 
UNITED STATES IS 
NOT SEEN AS MUCH 
OF A WORLD POWER 
AS IT USED TO 
BE.

BIG SPEECH OF 
THE NIGHT, NIKKI 
HALEY SERVED THE 
TRUMP 
ADMINISTRATION 
FOLLOWED BY 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
JUNIOR, THE 
PRESIDENT'S SON 
AND TRISTAN 
WALKER HAS BEEN 
REPORTING ON 
WHAT TO EXPECT. 
GOOD EVENING. 
>> HELLO, 
SAVANNAH AND 
LESTER, GOOD 
EVENING TO YOU. 
ALL EYES WILL BE 
ON NIKKI HALEY, 
SOMEONE WHO HAS 
GOTTEN A BUZZ AS 
A POTENTIAL 
CANDIDATE IN 
2024. 
SHE IS GOING TO 
SPEAK TO 
PRESIDENT TRUMP
'S FOREIGN 
POLICY. 
EXPECT HER TO 
PAINT THE 
PICTURE OF A 
STRONG LEADER, 
SOMEONE WHO HAS 
TAKEN STRONG 
ACTION ON NORTH 
KOREA, TAKEN 
ACTION TO STOP 
OUT ISIS BUT OF 
COURSE IT IS A 
CHECKERED RECORD 
ESPECIALLY WHEN 
YOU THINK ABOUT 
NORTH KOREA 
PRESIDENT MET 
WITH KIM JONG-UN 
A NUMBER OF 
TIMES AND STILL 
NO FOR NUCLEAR 
DISARMAMENT BUT 
SHE IS GOING TO 
MAKE THE CASE 
THAT HE IS A 
STRONG LEADER 
AND THAT IS THE 
TYPE OF ARGUMENT 
THAT APPEALS TO 
PRESIDENT TRUMP. 
WE HAVE TALKED 
ABOUT WHO THE 
PRESIDENT IS 
TRYING TO REACH 
OUT TO DURING 
THIS CONVENTION, 
PARTICULARLY ON 
THIS FIRST 
NIGHT. 
IT IS A 
CONVENTION THAT 
IS LARGELY 
TRYING TO 
ENERGIZE THE 
PRESIDENT'S 
BASE, TRYING TO 
MAKE SURE HE IS 
NOT LOSING ANY 
OF THOSE KEY 
REPUBLICAN 
VOTERS INCLUDING 
IN THE SUBURBS 
SO ISSUES LIKE 
FOREIGN-POLICY 
MATTER A WHOLE 
LOT AND OF 
COURSE, NIKKI 
HALEY, A FORMER 
U.N. AMBASSADOR 
HERE, ONE OF THE 
FEMALES SERVING 
HIS 
ADMINISTRATION 
SO SHE HELPS 
ENERGIZE FEMALE 
VOTERS AS WELL. 
>> MANY WOULD 
ARGUE POSITION 
IN THIS 
CONVENTION 
BECAUSE SHE IS A 
RISING STAR. 
AS YOU NOTED, 
SHE IS SEEN AS A 
POTENTIAL 
CANDIDATE THE 
NEXT TIME 
AROUND. 
THE GOVERNOR OF 
SOUTH CAROLINA 
IN 2010, 
REELECTED 2014, 
NAMED U.N. 
AMBASSADOR BY 
DONALD TRUMP TWO 
WEEKS AFTER HE 
WAS ELECTED IN 
2016. 
WE EXPECT TO SEE 
NIKKI HALEY NOW 
AS SHE MAKES HER 
WAY IN FRONT OF 
THE CAMERA, ONE 
OF THE MAJOR 
SPEECHES OF THE 
NIGHT. 
,
>> AMERICA. 
,
GOOD EVENING. 
I'M NIKKI HALEY 
AND IT'S GREAT 
TO BE BACK AT 
THE REPUBLICAN 
NATIONAL 
CONVENTION. 
I WILL START 
WITH A LITTLE 
STORY. 
IT IS ABOUT AN 
AMERICAN 
AMBASSADOR TO 
THE UNITED 
NATIONS AND IT 
IS ABOUT A 
SPEECH SHE GAVE 
TO THIS 
CONVENTION. 
SHE CALLED FOR 
THE REELECTION 
OF THE 
REPUBLICAN 
PRESIDENT SHE 
SERVED AND SHE 
CALLED OUT HIS 
DEMOCRATIC 
OPPONENTS. 
A FORMER VICE 
PRESIDENT FROM A 
FAILED 
ADMINISTRATION. 
THAT AMBASSADOR 
SAID AND I 
QUOTE, 
"DEMOCRATS 
ALWAYS BLAME 
AMERICA FIRST." 
THE YEAR WAS 
1984. 
THE PRESIDENT 
WAS RONALD 
REAGAN. 
AND AMBASSADOR 
JUNE 
KIRKPATRICK'S 
WORDS ARE JUST 
AS TRUE TODAY. 
JOE BIDEN AND 
THE DEMOCRATS 
ARE STILL 
BLAMING AMERICA 
FIRST. 
DONALD TRUMP HAS 
ALWAYS PUT 
AMERICA FIRST 
AND HE HAS EARNED
FOUR MORE YEARS 
AS PRESIDENT. 
IT WAS AN HONOR 
OF A LIFETIME TO 
SERVE AS THE 
UNITED STATES 
AMBASSADOR TO 
THE UNITED 
NATIONS. 
NOW, THE U.N. IS 
NOT FOR THE 
FAINT OF HEART. 
IT IS A PLACE 
WHERE DICTATORS, 
MURDERERS AND 
THIEVES DENOUNCE 
AMERICA. 
AND THEN PUT 
THEIR HANDS OUT 
AND DEMAND THAT 
WE PAY THEIR 
BILLS. 
WELL, PRESENT, 
PUT AN END TO 
ALL OF THAT. 
WITH HIS 
LEADERSHIP, WE 
DID WHAT BARACK 
OBAMA AND JOE 
BIDEN REFUSED TO 
DO: WE STOOD UP 
FOR AMERICA. 
AND WE STOOD 
AGAINST OUR 
ENEMIES. 
OBAMA AND BIDEN 
LET NORTH KOREA 
THREATEN 
AMERICA. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
REJECTED THAT 
WEAKNESS AND WE 
PASSED THE 
TOUGHEST 
SANCTIONS ON 
NORTH KOREA IN 
HISTORY. 
OBAMA AND BIDEN 
LET IRAN GET 
AWAY WITH MURDER 
AND LITERALLY 
SENT THEM A 
PLANE FULL OF 
CASH. PRESIDENT 
TRUMP DID THE 
RIGHT THING AND 
RIPPED UP THE 
AROUND NUCLEAR 
DEAL. 
OBAMA AND BIDEN 
LED THE UNITED 
NATIONS TO 
DENOUNCE OUR 
FRIEND AND ALLY, 
ISRAEL. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
MOVED OUR 
EMBASSY TO 
JERUSALEM AND 
WHEN THE U.N. 
TRIED TO CONDEMN 
US, I WAS PROUD 
TO CAST THE 
AMERICAN VETO. 
THIS PRESIDENT 
HAS A RECORD OF 
STRENGTH AND 
SUCCESS. THE 
FORMER VICE 
PRESIDENT HAS A 
RECORD OF 
WEAKNESS AND 
FAILURE. 
JOE BIDEN IS 
GOOD FOR IRAN 
AND ISIS, GREAT 
FOR COMMUNIST 
CHINA AND HE IS 
A GODSEND TO 
EVERYONE WHO 
WANTS AMERICA TO 
APOLOGIZE, 
ABSTAIN AND 
ABANDON OUR ABOUT
VALUES. 
DONALD TRUMP 
TAKES A 
DIFFERENT 
APPROACH. 
HE IS TOUGH ON 
CHINA AND HE 
TOOK ON ISIS AND 
WON. 
AND HE TELLS THE 
WORLD WHAT IT 
NEEDS TO HEAR. 
AT HOME, THE 
PRESIDENT IS THE 
CLEAR CHOICE ON 
JOBS AND THE 
ECONOMY. 
HE HAS MOVED 
AMERICA FORWARD. 
WHILE JOE BIDEN 
HAS HELD AMERICA 
BACK. 
WENZHOU WAS VP 
-- WHEN JOE WAS 
VP I WAS 
GOVERNOR OF THE 
GREAT STATE OF 
CAROLINA. 
WE HAD A PRETTY 
GOOD RUN. 
MANUFACTURERS OF 
ALL KINDS 
FLOCKED TO OUR 
STATE FROM OVER 
SEAS CREATING 
TENS OF 
THOUSANDS OF 
AMERICAN JOBS BE 
PEOPLE WERE 
REFERRING TO 
SOUTH CAROLINA 
AS THE BEAST OF 
THE SOUTHEAST 
WHICH I LOVED. 
EVERYTHING WE 
DID HAPPENED IN 
SPITE OF JOE 
BIDEN AND HIS 
OLD BOSS. 
WE CUT TAXES. 
THEY RAISED 
THEM. 
WE SLASHED RED 
TAPE. 
THEY PILED ON 
MORE MANDATES. 
AND WHEN WE 
BOUGHT IN 
BROUGHT IN GOOD 
PAYING JOBS, 
BIDEN AND OBAMA 
SUED US. 
I FIGHT BACK AND 
THEY GAVE UP. 
A BIDEN/HARRIS 
ADMINISTRATION 
WOULD BE MUCH, 
MUCH WORSE CHECK
. LAST TIME, 
JOE'S BOSS WAS 
OBAMA. 
THIS TIME IT 
WOULD BE PELOSI, 
SANDERS AND THE 
SQUAD. 
DIVISION FOR 
AMERICA IS 
SOCIALISM AND WE 
KNOW THAT 
SOCIALISM HAS 
FAILED 
EVERYWHERE. 
THEY WANT TO 
TELL AMERICANS 
HOW TO LIVE, 
WHAT TO THINK. 
THEY WANT TO 
HAVE A 
GOVERNMENT 
TAKEOVER OF 
HEALTHCARE. 
THEY WANT TO BAN 
FRACKING AND 
KILL MILLIONS OF 
JOBS. 
THEY WANT MASSIVE
TAX HIKES ON 
WORKING 
FAMILIES. 
JOE BIDEN AND 
THE SOCIALIST 
LEFT WOULD BE A 
DISASTER FOR OUR 
ECONOMY. 
BY PRESIDENT 
TRUMP IS LEADING 
A NEW ERA OF 
OPPORTUNITY. 
BEFORE COMMUNIST 
CHINA GAVE US 
THE CORONAVIRUS, 
WE WERE BREAKING 
ECONOMIC RECORDS 
LEFT AND RIGHT. 
THE PANDEMIC HAS 
SET US BACK BUT 
NOT FOR LONG. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
BROUGHT OUR 
ECONOMY BACK 
BEFORE AND HE 
WILL BRING IT 
BACK AGAIN. 
THERE IS ONE 
MORE IMPORTANT 
AREA WHERE OUR 
PRESIDENT IS 
RIGHT. 
HE DOES THAT 
POLITICAL 
CORRECTNESS AND 
CANCEL CULTURE 
ARE DANGEROUS. 
AND JUST PLAIN 
WRONG. 
IN MUCH OF THE 
DEMOCRATIC 
PARTY, IT IS NOW 
FASHIONABLE TO 
SAY THAT AMERICA 
IS RACIST. 
THAT IS A LIE. 
AMERICA IS NOT A 
RACIST COUNTRY. 
THIS IS PERSONAL 
FOR ME. 
I AM THE PROUD 
DAUGHTER OF 
INDIAN 
IMMIGRANTS. 
THEY CAME TO 
AMERICA AND 
SETTLED IN A 
SMALL SOUTHERN 
TOWN. 
MY FATHER WORE A 
TURBAN. 
MY MOTHER WORE A 
SORRY. 
I WAS A BROWN 
GIRL AND A BLACK 
AND WHITE WORLD. 
WE FACED 
DISCRIMINATION 
AND HARDSHIP BUT 
MY PARENTS NEVER 
GAVE IN TO 
GRIEVANCE AND 
HATE. 
MY MOM BUILT A 
SUCCESSFUL 
BUSINESS. 
MY DAD TAUGHT 30 
YEARS AT A 
HISTORICALLY 
BLACK COLLEGE. 
THE PEOPLE OF 
SOUTH CAROLINA 
CHOSE ME AS 
THEIR FIRST 
MINORITY AND 
FIRST FEMALE 
GOVERNOR. 
AMERICA IS A 
STORY THAT IS A 
WORK IN 
PROGRESS. 
NOW IS THE TIME 
TO BUILD ON THAT 
PROGRESS AND 
MAKE AMERICA 
EVEN FREER, 
FAIRER AND 
BETTER FOR 
EVERYONE. 
THAT IS WHY IT 
IS SO TRAGIC TO 
SEE SO MUCH OF 
THE DEMOCRATIC 
PARTY TURNING A 
BLIND EYE TOWARD 
RIOTS AND RAGE. 
THE AMERICAN 
PEOPLE KNOW WE 
CAN DO BETTER. 
AND OF COURSE, 
WE VALUE AND 
RESPECT EVERY 
BLACK LIFE. THE 
BLACK COPS WHO 
HAVE BEEN SHOT 
IN THE LINE OF 
DUTY, THEY 
MATTER. 
THE BLACK SMALL 
BUSINESS OWNERS 
WHO WATCHED THEIR
LIFE'S WORK GO 
UP IN FLAMES. 
THEY MATTER. 
THE BLACK KIDS 
WHO HAVE BEEN 
GUNNED DOWN ON 
THE PLAYGROUND, 
THEIR LIVES 
MATTER, TOO. 
AND THEIR LIVES 
ARE BEING RUINED 
AND STOLEN BY 
THE VIOLENCE ON 
OUR STREETS. 
IT DOESN'T HAVE 
TO BE LIKE THIS. 
IT WASN'T LIKE 
THIS IN SOUTH 
CAROLINA FIVE 
YEARS AGO. 
OUR STATE CAME 
FACE-TO-FACE 
WITH EVIL. A 
WHITE 
SUPREMACIST 
WALKED INTO 
MOTHER EMANUEL 
CHURCH DURING 
BIBLE STUDY. 
12 AFRICAN-
AMERICANS PULLED 
UP A CHAIR AND 
PRAYED WITH HIM 
FOR AN HOUR. 
THEN HE BEGAN TO 
SHOOT. 
AFTER THAT 
HORRIFIC 
TRAGEDY, WE DID 
NOT TURN AGAINST 
EACH OTHER. 
WE CAME TOGETHER
, BLACK AND 
WHITE, DEMOCRAT 
AND REPUBLICAN, 
TOGETHER, WE 
MADE THE HARD 
CHOICES NEEDED 
TO HEAL AND 
REMOVED A 
DIVISIVE SYMBOL 
PEACEFULLY AND 
RESPECTFULLY. 
WHAT HAPPENED 
THEN SHOULD GIVE 
US HOPE NOW. 
AMERICA IS NOT 
PERFECT BUT THE 
PRINCIPLES WE 
HOLD DEAR ARE 
PERFECT. 
THERE IS ONE 
THING I HAVE 
LEARNED. 
IT IS THAT EVEN 
ON OUR WORST DAY,
WE ARE BLESSED 
TO LIVE IN 
AMERICA. 
IT IS TIME TO 
KEEP THAT 
BLESSING ALIVE 
FOR THE NEXT 
GENERATION. 
THIS PRESIDENT 
AND THIS PARTY 
ARE COMMITTED TO 
THAT NOBLE TASK. 
WE SEEK A NATION 
THAT RISES 
TOGETHER, NOT 
FALLS APART IN 
ANARCHY AND 
ANGER. 
WE KNOW THAT THE 
ONLY WAY TO 
OVERCOME 
AMERICA'S 
CHALLENGES IS TO 
EMBRACE 
AMERICA'S 
STRENGTHS. 
WE ARE STRIVING 
TO REACH A 
BRIGHTER FUTURE 
WHERE EVERY 
CHILD GOES TO A 
WORLD-CLASS 
SCHOOL CHOSEN BY 
THEIR PARENTS, 
WHERE EVERY 
FAMILY LIVES IN 
A SAFE COMMUNITY 
WITH GOOD JOBS, 
WHERE EVERY 
ENTREPRENEUR HAS 
THE FREEDOM TO 
ACHIEVE AND 
INSPIRE, WHERE 
EVERY BELIEVER 
CAN WORSHIP 
WITHOUT FEAR, AND
EVERY LIFE IS 
PROTECTED. 
WHERE EVERY GIRL 
AND BOY, EVERY 
WOMAN AND MAN, 
EVERY RACE AND 
RELIGION HAS THE 
BEST SHOT AT THE 
BEST LIFE. 
IN THIS 
ELECTION, WE 
MUST CHOOSE THE 
ONLY CANDIDATE 
WHO HASN'T WHO 
WILL CONTINUE 
DELIVERING ON 
THAT VISION. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
AND VICE 
PRESIDENT PENCE 
HAVE MY SUPPORT 
AND AMERICA HAS 
OUR PROMISE. 
WE WILL BUILD ON 
THE PROGRESS OF 
OUR PAST AND 
UNLOCK THE 
PROMISE OF OUR 
FUTURE. 
THAT FUTURE 
STARTS WHEN THE 
AMERICAN PEOPLE 
WE ELECT 
PRESIDENT DONALD 
TRUMP. 
THANK YOU, GOOD 
NIGHT AND MAY 
GOD ALWAYS BLESS 
AMERICA. 
,
>>> ♪ 
>> NO. 
>> GOOD EVENING, 
AMERICA. 
I'M DONALD TRUMP 
JR. WE ARE HERE 
TONIGHT TO TALK 
ABOUT THE GREAT 
AMERICAN STORY. 
TO TALK ABOUT 
THIS COUNTRY WE 
ALL LOVE. 
THIS LAND OF 
PROMISE AND 
OPPORTUNITY, OF 
HEROES AND 
GREATNESS. 
JUST A FEW SHORT 
MONTHS AGO, WE 
WERE SEEING THE 
AMERICAN DREAM 
CAN BECOME A 
REALITY. 
FOR MORE OF OUR 
CITIZENS THAN 
EVER BEFORE. 
THE GREATEST 
PROLONGED 
ECONOMIC 
EXPANSION IN 
AMERICAN 
HISTORY. 
THE LOWEST 
UNEMPLOYMENT 
RATE IN NEARLY 
50 YEARS. 
THE LOWEST 
UNEMPLOYMENT 
RATE EVER FOR 
BLACK AMERICANS, 
HISPANIC 
AMERICANS, WOMEN 
AND PRETTY MUCH 
EVERY OTHER 
DEMOGRAPHIC 
GROUP AND THEN, 
COURTESY OF THE 
CHINESE 
COMMUNIST PARTY, 
THE VIRUS 
STRUCK. 
THE PRESIDENT 
QUICKLY TOOK 
ACTION AND SHUT 
DOWN TRAVEL FROM 
CHINA. 
JOE BIDEN AND 
HIS DEMOCRATIC 
ALLIES CALLED MY 
FATHER A RACIST 
AND A XENA 
PHOBIC FOR DOING 
IT. 
THEY PUT 
POLITICAL 
CORRECTNESS 
AHEAD OF THE 
SAFETY AND 
SECURITY OF THE 
AMERICAN PEOPLE. 
FORTUNATELY, AS 
THE VIRUS BEGAN 
TO SPREAD, THE 
PRESIDENT ACTED 
QUICKLY AND IN 
SHORT 
VENTILATORS GOT 
THE HOSPITALS 
THAT NEEDED THE 
MOST. 
HE DELIVERED PPE 
TO OUR BRAVE 
FRONT-LINE 
WORKERS AND 
RALLIED THE 
MIGHTY AMERICAN 
PRIVATE SECTOR 
TO TACKLE THIS 
NEW CHALLENGE. 
THERE IS MORE 
WORK TO DO BUT 
THERE IS A LIGHT 
AT THE END OF 
THE TUNNEL. 
JOB GAINS ARE 
OUTPACING WHAT 
THE SO-CALLED 
EXPERTS 
EXPECTED. 
BUT BIDEN'S 
RADICAL LEFT-
WING POLICIES 
WOULD STOP OUR 
ECONOMIC 
RECOVERY COLD. 
HE IS ALREADY 
TALKING ABOUT 
SHUTTING THE 
COUNTRY DOWN 
AGAIN. 
IT IS MADNESS. 
DEMOCRATS CLAIM 
TO BE FOR 
WORKERS BUT THEY 
HAVE SPENT THE 
ENTIRE PANDEMIC 
TRYING TO SNEAK 
A TAX BREAK FOR 
MILLIONAIRES AND 
DEMOCRATS INTO 
THE COVID-19 
RELIEF BILL. 
THEN THEY 
ATTACKED MY 
FATHER FOR 
SUSPENDING THE 
PAYROLL TAX FOR 
MIDDLE-CLASS 
WORKERS. 
IN FACT, IF YOU 
THINK ABOUT IT, 
JOE BIDEN'S 
ENTIRE ECONOMIC 
PLATFORM SEEMS 
DESIGNED TO 
CRUSH THE 
WORKING MEN AND 
WOMEN. HE 
SUPPORTED THE 
WORST TRADE DEAL 
IN THE HISTORY 
OF THE PLANET. 
HE VOTED FOR THE 
NAFTA NIGHTMARE. 
DOWN THE TUBES 
WENT OUR AUTO 
INDUSTRY. 
HE PUSHED FOR 
TPP. 
GOODBYE, 
MANUFACTURING 
JOBS. 
BEIJING BIDEN IS 
SO WEAK ON CHINA 
THAT THE 
INTELLIGENCE 
COMMUNITY 
RECENTLY 
ASSESSED THAT 
THE CHINESE 
COMMUNIST PARTY 
FAVORS BIDEN. 
THEY KNOW WHO 
WILL WEAKEN US 
ECONOMICALLY AND 
ON A WORLD 
STAGE. 
BIDEN ALSO WANTS 
TO BRING IN MORE 
ILLEGAL 
IMMIGRANTS TO 
TAKE JOBS FROM 
AMERICAN 
CITIZENS. 
IS OPEN BORDER 
POLICIES WOULD 
DRIVE WAGES DOWN 
FOR AMERICANS AT 
A TIME WHEN LOW 
INCOME WORKERS 
WERE GETTING 
REAL WAGE 
INCREASES FOR 
THE FIRST TIME 
IN MODERN 
HISTORY. 
HE HAS PLEDGED 
TO REPEAL THE 
TRUMP TAX CUTS 
WHICH WERE THE 
BIGGEST IN OUR 
COUNTRY. 
AFTER EIGHT 
YEARS OF OBAMA 
AND BIDEN'S SLOW 
GROWTH, TRUMP'S 
POLICIES HAVE 
BEEN LIKE ROCKET 
FUEL TO THE 
ECONOMY AND 
ESPECIALLY TO 
THE MIDDLE 
CLASS. 
BIDEN'S PROMISE 
TO TAKE THAT 
MONEY BACK OUT 
OF YOUR POCKET 
AND KEEP IT IN 
THE SWAMP. 
THAT MAKES 
SENSE, THOUGH, 
CONSIDERING JOE 
BIDEN IS 
BASICALLY THE 
LOCH NESS 
MONSTER OF THE 
SWAMP. 
FOR THE FAST 
PAST HALF 
CENTURY, HE HAS 
BEEN LURKING IN 
THERE, STICKING 
HIS HEAD UP 
EVERY NOW AND 
THEN TO RUN FOR 
PRESIDENT AND 
THEN HE 
DISAPPEARS AND 
DOES NOT DO MUCH 
IN BETWEEN. 
SO IF YOU'RE 
LOOKING FOR 
HOPE, LOOK TO 
THE MAN WHO DID 
WHAT THE FAILED 
OBAMA/BIDEN 
ADMINISTRATION 
COULD NEVER DO 
AND BUILD THE 
ECONOMY OUR 
COUNTRY HAS EVER 
SEEN. 
AND PRESIDENT 
TRUMP WILL DO IT 
AGAIN. 
WE WILL BE 
STRONGER THAN 
EVER BECAUSE 
WHEN WE PUT OUR 
MIND TO IT, 
THERE IS NO 
OBSTACLE THAT 
AMERICA CANNOT 
SURMOUNT. 
EXCEPT THERE IS 
A DIFFERENCE 
THIS TIME. 
IN THE PAST, 
BOTH PARTIES 
BELIEVED IN THE 
GOODNESS OF 
AMERICA. 
WE AGREED ON 
WHERE WE WANTED 
TO GO, WE JUST 
DISAGREE ON HOW 
TO GET THERE. 
THIS TIME, THE 
OTHER PARTY IS 
ATTACKING THE 
VERY PRINCIPLES 
ON WHICH OUR 
NATION WAS 
FOUNDED. 
FREEDOM OF 
THOUGHT. 
FREEDOM OF 
SPEECH. 
FREEDOM OF 
RELIGION. 
THE RULE OF LAW. 
THOMAS JEFFERSON 
FAMOUSLY SAID, 
"I HAVE SWORN 
UPON THE ALTAR 
OF GOD ETERNAL 
HOSTILITY 
AGAINST EVERY 
FORM OF TYRANNY 
OVER THE MIND OF 
MAN." 
OUR FOUNDERS 
BELIEVED THERE 
WAS NOTHING MORE 
IMPORTANT THAN 
PROTECTING OUR 
GOD-GIVEN RIGHT 
TO THINK FOR 
OURSELVES. 
NOW, THE LEFT, 
THEY ARE TRYING 
TO CANCEL ALL OF 
THOSE FOUNDERS. 
THEY DON'T SEEM 
TO UNDERSTAND 
THIS IMPORTANT 
PRINCIPLE: IN 
ORDER TO IMPROVE 
IN THE FUTURE, 
WE MUST LEARN 
FROM OUR PAST. 
NOT ERASE IT. 
SO WE ARE NOT 
GOING TO TEAR 
DOWN MONUMENTS 
AND FORGET THE 
PEOPLE WHO BUILT 
OUR GREAT 
NATION. 
INSTEAD, WE WILL 
LEARN FROM OUR 
PAST SO WE DON'T 
REPEAT ANY 
MISTAKES. 
AND WE WILL WORK 
TIRELESSLY TO 
IMPROVE THE 
LIVES OF ALL 
AMERICANS. 
JOE BIDEN AND 
THE RADICAL LEFT 
ARE NOW COMING 
FOR OUR FREEDOM 
OF SPEECH. 
THEY WANT TO 
BULLY US INTO 
SUBMISSION. 
IF THEY GET 
THEIR WAY, IT 
WILL NO LONGER 
BE THE SILENT 
MAJORITY. 
IT WILL BE THE 
SILENT MAJORITY. 
THIS HAS TO STOP.
FREEDOM OF 
EXPRESSION USED 
TO BE A LIBERAL 
VALUE AT LEAST 
BEFORE THE 
RADICAL LEFT 
TOOK OVER. 
NOW, THE 
REPUBLICAN PARTY 
IS THE HOME OF 
FREE SPEECH. 
THE PLACE WHERE 
ANYONE FROM ANY 
BACKGROUND CAN 
SPEAK THEIR MIND 
AND MAY THE BEST 
IDEAS WHEN. 
WIN. 
PEOPLE OF FAITH 
ARE UNDER 
ATTACK. 
YOU ARE NOT 
ALLOWED TO GO TO 
CHURCH. 
BUT MASK MASS 
CHAOS GETS A 
PASS. 
IT IS ALMOST 
LIKE THIS 
ELECTION IS SHAKY
SHAPING UP TO BE 
CHURCH, WORK AND 
SCHOOL VERSUS 
WRITING, LOOTING 
AND VANDALISM OR 
IN THE WORDS OF 
BIDEN, "AND THE 
DEMOCRATS, 
"PEACEFUL 
PROCESSING 
PROTESTING." 
DEMOCRATS HAVE 
BEEN FLOODING THE
STREETS AND 
DEMOCRATS ARE 
ORDERING POLICE 
TO STAND OUT. 
SMALL BUSINESSES 
IN AMERICA, MANY 
DEMOCRATIC OWNED 
ARE BEING 
TORCHED BY MOBS. 
THE BIDEN CAMP 
CALLED IT A 
SYMBOL OF LOVE. 
EVERY AMERICAN 
MUST BE FREE TO 
LIVE WITHOUT 
FEAR OF VIOLENCE 
IN YOUR COUNTRY, 
IN YOUR 
COMMUNITIES, AND 
IN YOUR HOMES. 
ALL MEN AND 
WOMEN ARE 
CREATED EQUAL 
AND MUST BE 
TREATED EQUALLY 
UNDER THE LAW. 
THAT IS WHY WE 
MUST PUT AND AN 
END TO RACISM AND
WE MUST ENSURE 
THAT ANY POLICE 
OFFICER WHO 
ABUSES THEIR 
POWERS IS HELD 
ACCOUNTABLE. 
WHAT HAPPENED TO 
GEORGE FLOYD IS 
A DISGRACE AND 
IF YOU KNOW A 
POLICE OFFICER, 
YOU KNOW THEY 
AGREE WITH THAT, 
TOO. 
BUT WE CANNOT 
LOSE SIGHT OF 
THE FACT THAT 
OUR POLICE ARE 
AMERICAN HEROES. 
THEY DESERVE OUR 
DEEPEST 
APPRECIATION. 
BECAUSE NO 
MATTER WHAT THE 
DEMOCRATS SAY, 
YOU AND I BOTH 
KNOW WHEN WE 
DIAL 911, WE 
DON'T WANT IT 
GOING TO 
VOICEMAIL. 
SO DEFUNDING THE 
POLICE IS NOT AN 
OPTION. 
EVERYTHING 
STARTS WITH 
SAFETY AND 
SECURITY. 
YOU CANNOT HAVE 
ANYTHING ELSE 
WITHOUT IT. 
YOU CAN'T FOCUS 
ON BUILDING A 
BETTER FUTURE 
FOR YOUR 
CHILDREN WITHOUT 
THE PEACE OF 
MIND THAT THEY 
CAN STUDY SAFELY 
IN THEIR 
CLASSROOMS, PLAY 
SAFELY IN THEIR 
NEIGHBORHOODS 
AND SLEEP SAFELY 
IN THEIR BEDS. 
BUT SAFETY IS 
ONLY THE 
BEGINNING. 
TRUMP'S AMERICA 
IS A LAND OF 
OPPORTUNITY, A 
PLACE OF PROMISE.
I WAS FORTUNATE 
ENOUGH TO GROW 
UP IN A FAMILY 
THAT COULD 
AFFORD THE BEST 
SCHOOLS AND THE 
FINEST 
UNIVERSITIES. 
BUT A GREAT 
EDUCATION CANNOT 
BE THE EXCLUSIVE 
RIGHT OF THE 
RICH AND 
POWERFUL. 
IT MUST BE 
ACCESSIBLE TO 
ALL. 
AND THAT IS WHY 
MY DAD IS A PRO 
SCHOOL CHOICE. 
THAT IS WHY HE 
HAS CALLED 
EDUCATION ACCESS 
THE CIVIL RIGHTS 
ISSUE NOT JUST 
OF OUR TIME OF 
ALL TIME. 
IT IS 
UNACCEPTABLE 
THAT TOO MANY 
AFRICAN-AMERICAN 
AND HISPANIC 
AMERICAN 
CHILDREN ARE 
STUCK IN BAD 
SCHOOLS JUST 
BECAUSE OF THEIR 
SUBCODE. 
DONALD TRUMP 
WILL NOT STAND 
FOR IT. 
IF DEMOCRATS 
REALLY WANTED TO 
HELP MINORITIES 
IN UNDERSERVED 
COMMUNITIES, 
INSTEAD OF 
BOWING TO BIG 
MONEY UNION 
BOSSES THEY 
WOULD LET 
PARENTS CHOOSE 
WHAT SCHOOL IS 
BEST FOR THEIR 
KIDS. 
THEY WOULD LIMIT 
IMMIGRATION TO 
PROTECT AMERICAN 
WORKERS BUT THAT 
WOULD SUPPORT 
THE POLICE WHO 
PROTECT OUR 
NEIGHBORHOODS 
BUT THEY WOULD 
LEARN HOW TO 
NEGOTIATE TRADE 
DEALS THAT 
PRIORITIZE 
AMERICA'S 
INTERESTS FOR A 
CHANGE. 
THEY WOULD END 
THE ENDLESS WARS 
AND QUICK 
SENDING OUR 
YOUNG PEOPLE TO 
SOLVE PROBLEMS 
IN FOREIGN 
LANDS. 
THEY WOULD CUT 
TAXES FOR 
FAMILIES AND 
WORKERS. 
THEY WOULD 
CREATE 
OPPORTUNITY 
ZONES THAT DRIVE 
INVESTMENT INTO 
INNER CITIES. 
IN OTHER WORDS, 
IF DEMOCRATS 
CARED FOR THE 
FORGOTTEN MEN 
AND WOMEN OF OUR 
COUNTRY, THEY 
WOULD DO EXACTLY 
WHAT PRESIDENT 
TRUMP IS DOING. 
AMERICA IS THE 
GREATEST COUNTRY 
ON EARTH BUT MY 
FATHER'S ENTIRE 
WORLDVIEW 
REVOLVES AROUND 
THE IDEA THAT WE 
CAN ALWAYS DO 
EVEN BETTER. 
IMAGINE THE LIFE 
YOU WANT TO HAVE
, ONE WITH A 
GREAT JOB, A 
BEAUTIFUL HOME, 
A PERFECT 
FAMILY. 
YOU CAN HAVE IT. 
IMAGINE THE 
COUNTRY YOU WANT 
TO LIVE IN, ONE 
WITH TRUE, EQUAL 
OPPORTUNITIES 
WHERE HARD WORK 
PAYS OFF AND 
JUSTICE IS 
SERVED WITH 
COMPASSION AND 
WITHOUT 
PARTIALITY. 
YOU CAN HAVE IT. 
IMAGINE A WORLD 
WHERE THE EVILS 
OF COMMUNISM AND 
RADICAL ISLAMIC 
TERRORISM ARE 
NOT GIVEN A 
CHANCE TO 
SPREAD, WHERE 
HEROES ARE 
CELEBRATED AND 
THE GOOD GUYS 
WIN. 
YOU CAN HAVE IT. 
THAT IS THE LIFE
. THAT IS THE 
COUNTRY. 
THAT IS THE 
WORLD THAT 
DONALD TRUMP AND 
THE REPUBLICAN 
PARTY ARE AFTER 
AND YES, YOU CAN 
HAVE IT. 
BECAUSE UNLIKE 
JOE BIDEN AND 
THE RADICAL LEFT 
DEMOCRATS, OUR 
PARTY IS OPEN TO 
EVERYONE. 
IT STARTS BY 
REJECTING RADICAL
S WANT TO DRIVE 
US INTO THE DARK 
AND EMBRACING 
THE MAN WHO 
REPRESENTS A 
BRIGHT AND 
BEAUTIFUL FUTURE 
FOR ALL. 
IT STARTS BY 
REELECTING 
DONALD J TRUMP 
PRESIDENT OF THE 
UNITED STATES. 
THANK YOU AND 
GOD BLESS 
AMERICA. 
AMERICA. ,
>> SO WE JUST 
HEARD BACK TO 
BACK SPEECHES AT 
THE REPUBLICAN 
NATIONAL 
CONVENTION ON 
NIGHT ONE, NIKKI 
HALEY, RISING 
STAR REPUBLICAN 
POLITICIAN 
AMBASSADOR TO THE
U.N. AND DONALD 
TRUMP JR., 
OBVIOUSLY THAT 
PRESIDENT'S 
ELDEST SON. 
LET'S GO TO 
ANDREA MITCHELL 
AND WHAT WE HAVE 
BEEN LISTENING. 
YOUR THOUGHTS? 
>> TWO VERY 
DIFFERENT 
SPEECHES AND 
TONE. 
YOU HAD NIKKI 
HALEY TALKING 
ABOUT BEING THE 
PROUD DAUGHTER 
OF AN IMMIGRANT, 
A BROWN GIRL IN 
A BLACK AND 
WHITE COUNTRY, A 
BLACK-AND-WHITE 
WORLD AND 
CELEBRATING 
THOSE VALUES AND 
THEN YOU HAD 
DONALD TRUMP 
JR., IN A REALLY 
TOUGH SPEECH. 
HE TALKED OF JOE 
BIDEN BEING THE 
LOCH NESS 
MONSTER OF THE 
SWAMP. HE COULD 
NOT HAVE BEEN 
MORE AGGRESSIVE. 
I DON'T KNOW HOW 
MANY TIMES HE 
USED THE TERM 
"RADICAL LEFT" 
BUT THAT IS THE 
TRUMP DEFINED BY 
A LOT OF THE 
SPEECHES FOR 
THIS CONVENTION. 
WE WILL SEE HOW 
THE TONE GOES AS 
THE DAYS 
PROGRESSED BUT 
DONALD TRUMP, 
THIS IS A TRUMP 
REPUBLICAN 
PARTY. 
THEY HAVE NO 
PLATFORM OTHER 
THAN A 
RESOLUTION 
ENDORSING THE 
TRUMP AGENDA AND 
THERE REALLY IS 
NO PLACE HERE 
FOR A LOT OF THE 
ELECTED 
OFFICIALS WHO 
ARE NOT SHOWING 
UP. 
THERE ARE VERY 
FEW OF THEM ON 
THE PODIUM. 
TONIGHT AND IN 
THE NEXT THE, 
ESPECIALLY SOME 
VULNERABLE 
SENATORS FACING 
TOUGH REELECTION 
SO THIS IS 
REALLY THE TRUMP 
CONVENTION AND 
THE PARTY IS 
APPEALING TO THE 
BASE. 
>> LET ME BRING 
IN CHUCK TODD 
ABOUT THAT AND 
TALK ABOUT 
WHETHER IT IS 
EXPANDING THE 
BASE OR BEYOND 
THAT. 
A LOT OF THE 
SPEECHES WE HAVE 
HEARD IN THIS 
HOUR EVEN BEFORE 
TALK ABOUT THE 
VIOLENCE IN THE 
STREETS MAKING 
NO 
DIFFERENTIATION 
BETWEEN TRUE 
VIOLENCE AND 
PEOPLE WHO ARE 
PROTESTING SOME 
OF THESE THINGS. 
IS THAT A 
MESSAGE THAT 
POTENTIALLY 
BROADENS THE 
BASE? 
FINDS AN YEAR 
THAT THEY MAY 
NOT HAVE HAD? 
>> I WANT TO GO 
BACK TO IT ALL 
DEPENDS ON WHAT 
YOU FIND WHEN WE 
SAY BASE. 
THERE IS THE 
DONALD TRUMP 
BASE WHICH IS 
THE CORE OF THE 
REPUBLICAN PARTY 
RIGHT NOW. 
I THINK 
EVERYBODY IS 
GETTING A TASTE 
OF IT BUT THERE 
IS ANOTHER 
ASPECT OF THE 
REPUBLICAN BASE 
THAT ACTUALLY 
HAS BEEN 
SHRIEKING UNDER 
DONALD TRUMP AND 
WHEN I SAY THE 
REPUBLICAN BASE, 
SORT OF MORE 
TRADITIONAL 
SUBURBAN VOTERS. 
IN OUR 
DEMOGRAPHIC 
ROBOCALL THAN 
THE COLLEGE-
EDUCATED WHITE 
GUYS OF THE 
CHAMBER OF 
COMMERCE TYPE OF 
REPUBLICANS. 
THESE ARE THE 
PEOPLE THAT HAVE 
BEEN FLEEING THE 
PARTY RIGHT NOW. 
THIS IS THE 
REASON WHY 
DEMOCRATS LOOK 
TO BE IN SUCH A 
STRONG POSITION 
RIGHT NOW. 
WHAT I HAVE 
WATCHED TONIGHT 
IS I HAVE 
WATCHED, IN 
SYSTEMATIC WAYS, 
THEIR STRATEGY 
TO WIN BACK 
THOSE VOTERS. 
THEY ARE JUST 
TRYING TO WIN 
BACK FORMER 
REPUBLICANS, 
TRYING TO WIN 
BACK FORMER 
ROMNEY VOTERS, 
FORMER EVEN 
PERHAPS TRUMP 
FIRST TERM 
VOTERS. 
THAT TO ME IS 
ABOUT THE BEST I 
CAN TELL. 
FOR INSTANCE, 
ALL OF THIS 
APPEAL YOU, HAVE 
SEEN QUITE A FEW 
AFRICAN-AMERICAN 
SPEAK AT THIS 
CONVENTION. 
A LOT OF THIS IS 
ABOUT TRYING TO 
GET BACK THOSE 
SUBURBAN WHITE 
VOTERS BACK WHO 
HAVE NOT LIKED 
THE PRESIDENT'S 
TONE SO I SEE 
THEIR STRATEGY 
BUT IT IS A 
STRATEGY JUST TO 
WIN BACK FORMER 
REPUBLICANS. 
I HAVE NOT SEEN 
A STRATEGY YET 
THAT GETS THEM 
TO THE 50% 
COLUMN OR THINGS 
LIKE THAT. 
HE IS JUST 
TRYING TO GET 
BACK THE VOTERS 
WHO GOT IN 2016. 
MAGA DID NOT 
TAKE YOU LONG TO 
GET TO SOME 
PERCENTAGES. 
THAT BRINGS ME 
TO MY QUESTION. 
IT'S MONDAY 
NIGHT, AND THE 
START OF THE 
REPUBLICAN 
CONVENTION. 
WE HAD THE 
DEMOCRATIC 
CONVENTION LAST 
WEEK. 
DID BIDEN GET 
ABOUT 10 WHAT IS 
THE STATE OF THE 
RACE TONIGHT? 
MAKE THE STATE 
OF THE RACE IS 
ABOUT WHERE WAS. 
WE DID NOT 
EXPECT IT TO 
MOVE IN FAIRNESS 
BECAUSE BOUNCES 
WENT AWAY WHEN 
CONVENTIONS 
STOPPED BEING 
SEPARATED BY ONE 
MONTH EACH. 
WHEN THEY ARE 
COMPACTED WE ARE 
IN THE MIDDLE OF 
CONVENTION 
SEASON. 
THE BOUNCE HAS 
BEEN MORE FOR 
JOE BIDEN'S 
PERSONAL RATING 
AMONG DEMOCRATS, 
DEMOCRATS 
FEELING MORE 
POSITIVE ABOUT 
HIM THAN THEY 
DID BEFORE BUT 
THE NUMBERS 
HAVEN'T REALLY 
CHANGED AND I 
DON'T EXPECT 
BIDEN'S NUMBERS 
TO GO UP ANY 
FURTHER. 
HE IS ABOUT AT 
HIS CEILING. 
THE REAL 
QUESTION IS 
GOING TO BE CAN 
DONALD TRUMP GET 
BACK TO HIS 
APPROVAL RATING 
NUMBER? 
HIS APPROVAL 
RATING NUMBER IS 
IN THE FORTY FORT
THE IS 44 TO 45% 
RANGE BUT BUT 
BIDEN IS A 
SITTING AT 40 TO 
41. 
A SUCCESSFUL 
CONVENTION DEAR 
WILL BE SIMPLY 
GETTING BACK TO 
45 IN THE BALLOT 
TEST WHICH 
SHOULD BE THAT 
HARD BECAUSE YOU 
ARE JUST TRYING 
TO WIN BACK 
FORMER 
REPUBLICANS BUT 
I DO WONDER 
ABOUT THE TONE 
OF THIS THUS FAR 
AT THE 
CONVENTION. 
>> HE ALSO HAS 
SOME OF THE 
ECONOMY STILL 
THE WIND AT HIS 
BACK AS BAD AS 
THINGS HAVE 
GOTTEN, EVEN. 
>> YES OR NO. 
IT IS THE 
PERCEPTION. 
THERE ARE PEOPLE 
THAT STILL THINK 
THEY FEEL THE 
WIND THERE. 
THE PROBLEM IS 
THE NUMBERS ARE 
MOVING FAST AND 
WE KNOW THAT 
WITHOUT THIS 
ADDITIONAL 
RELIEF, THE 
AMOUNT OF 
CONSUMER 
SPENDING HAS 
BEEN GOING DOWN 
RAPIDLY AS THAT 
$600 HAS GONE. 
>> ALL RIGHT, 
CHUCK TODD, 
THANKS VERY 
MUCH. 
UP NEXT, SENATOR 
TIM SCOTT WITH 
THE FINAL SPEECH 
OF THE PRIME 
TIME OUR. 
>> LET'S LISTEN 
TO SENATOR SCOTT 
OF SOUTH 
CAROLINA AS HE 
TAKES THE 
PODIUM. 
>> ♪ ♪ 
>> GOOD EVENING. 
I'M SENATOR TIM 
SCOTT FROM THE 
GREAT STATE OF 
SOUTH CAROLINA. 
TO ALL OF YOU 
TUNING IN AND 
PARTICIPATING IN 
THE POLITICAL 
PROCESS, GOD 
BLESS YOU. 
THIS IS NOT HOW 
I PICTURED 
TONIGHT BUT OUR 
COUNTRY IS 
EXPERIENCING 
SOMETHING NONE 
OF US 
ENVISIONED. 
FROM THE GLOBAL 
PANDEMIC TO THE 
DEATH OF GEORGE 
FLOYD AND 
BREONNA TAYLOR, 
THE 2020 HAS 
TESTED OUR 
NATION IN WAYS 
WE HAVEN'T SEEN 
FOR DECADES. 
BUT REGARDLESS 
OF THE 
CHALLENGES 
PRESENTED TO US, 
EVERY FOUR 
YEARS, AMERICANS 
COME TOGETHER TO 
VOTE. 
TO SHARE STORIES 
AND WHAT MAKES 
OUR NATION 
STRONG AND THE 
LESSONS WE HAVE 
LEARNED CAN 
STRENGTHEN IT 
FOR FURTHER 
GENERATIONS. 
BECAUSE WHILE 
THE SELECTION IS 
BETWEEN DONALD 
TRUMP AND JOE 
BIDEN, IT IS NOT 
SOLELY ABOUT 
DONALD TRUMP AND 
JOE BIDEN. 
IT IS ABOUT THE 
PROMISE OF 
AMERICA. 
IT IS ABOUT YOU 
AND ME, OUR 
CHALLENGES AND 
HEARTBREAKS, 
HOPES AND 
DREAMS. 
IT'S ABOUT HOW 
WE RESPOND WHEN 
TACKLING 
CRITICAL ISSUES 
LIKE POLICE 
REFORM, WHEN 
DEMOCRATS CALLED 
OUR WORK A TOKEN 
EFFORT AND 
WALKED OUT OF 
THE ROOM DURING 
NEGOTIATIONS 
BECAUSE THEY 
WANTED THE ISSUE 
MORE THAN THEY 
WANTED A 
SOLUTION. 
DO WE WANT A 
SOCIETY THAT 
BREEDS SUCCESS 
OR A CULTURE 
THAT CANCELS 
EVERYTHING IT 
EVEN SLIGHTLY 
DISAGREES WITH? 
I KNOW WHERE I 
STAND BECAUSE 
YOU SEE, I AM 
LIVING MY 
MOTHER'S 
AMERICAN DREAM. 
MY PARENTS 
DIVORCED WHEN I 
WAS SEVEN YEARS 
OLD. 
WE MOVED IN WITH 
MY GRANDPARENTS 
INTO A TWO 
BEDROOM HOME 
WITH ME, MY MOM 
AND MY BROTHER 
SHARING A ROOM 
AND ONE BED. 
MOM WORKED 16 
HOURS A DAY TO 
KEEP FOOD ON THE 
TABLE AND A ROOF 
OVER OUR HEADS. 
SHE KNEW THAT IF 
WE COULD FIND 
THE OPPORTUNITY, 
BIGGER THINGS 
WOULD COME. 
I THOUGHT I HAD 
TO USE FOOTBALL 
TO SUCCEED IN 
LIFE. 
AND MY FOCUS ON 
ACADEMICS FADED 
AWAY. 
MY FRESHMAN YEAR,
I FAILED OUT. I 
FAILED FOUR 
SUBJECTS. 
SPANISH, ENGLISH,
WORLD GEOGRAPHY 
AND EVEN CIVICS. 
TRUST ME, 
THOUGH, AFTER 
SEVEN YEARS IN 
THE SENATE, I 
KNOW I'M NOT THE 
ONLY ONE IN 
CONGRESS WHO 
FAILED TO CIVICS.
BUT EVEN WHILE I 
WAS FAILING THE 
NINTH GRADE, MY 
MOTHER ALWAYS 
SAID TO ME, 
TIMMY, IF YOU 
WOULD JUST SHOOT 
FOR THE MOON, 
EVEN IF YOU MISS,
YOU WILL BE 
AMONG THE STARS. 
SHE NEVER LOST 
FAITH IN ME EVEN 
WHEN I LOST FAITH
IN MYSELF. 
BECAUSE OF HER 
ENCOURAGEMENT, I 
WENT TO SUMMER 
SCHOOL AND 
CAUGHT UP. 
THE NEXT YEAR, I 
MEANT BY MENTOR, 
JOHN WHO WAS A 
CHIK-FIL-A 
OPERATOR. 
HE SAW SOMETHING 
IN ME THAT I 
COULD NOT SEE 
MYSELF AND 
STARTED TO JIMMY 
VALUABLE LIFE 
LESSONS LIKE 
HAVING A JOB 
THAT WOULD BE A 
GOOD THING BY 
CREATING JOBS 
WOULD BE EVEN 
BETTER. 
HAVING AN INCOME 
COULD CHANGE MY 
LIFESTYLE BUT 
CREATING A 
PROFIT COULD 
CHANGE MY 
COMMUNITY. 
HE PLANTED THE 
SEEDS OF WHAT 
WOULD BECOME 
OPPORTUNITY ZONES
. THIS 
INITIATIVE THAT 
THE PRESIDENT 
AND I WORKED 
TOGETHER ON IS 
NOW BRINGING 
MORE THAN $75 
BILLION OF 
PRIVATE SECTOR 
INVESTMENT INTO 
DISTRESSED 
COMMUNITIES. 
I TOOK THOSE 
LESSONS TO HEART 
AND STARTED 
PUTTING THE 
PIECES OF MY LIFE
BACK TOGETHER. 
I REALIZED A 
QUALITY EDUCATION
IS THE CLOSEST 
THING TO MAGIC 
IN AMERICA. 
THAT IS WHY I 
FIGHT TO THIS 
DAY FOR SCHOOL 
CHOICES TO MAKE 
SURE EVERY CHILD 
IN EVERY 
NEIGHBORHOOD HAS 
A QUALITY 
EDUCATION. I 
DON'T CARE IF IT 
IS A PUBLIC, 
PRIVATE, 
CHARTER, VIRTUAL 
OR HOMESCHOOL. 
WHEN A PARENT 
HAS A CHOICE, 
THEIR KID HAS A 
BETTER CHANCE 
AND THE 
PRESIDENT HAS 
FOUGHT ALONGSIDE 
ME ON THAT. 
LATER IN LIFE, I 
STARTED MY OWN 
SMALL BUSINESS. 
THAT'S WHY I KNOW
IT IS CRITICAL 
FOR US TO HAVE A 
TAX CODE THAT 
ENCOURAGES 
GROWTH. 
WE ACTUALLY SAW 
REVENUES TO THE 
TREASURY 
INCREASE AFTER 
WE LOWERED TAXES 
IN 2017. REST 
ASSURED, THE 
DEMOCRATS DO NOT 
WANT YOU TO KNOW 
BUSINESS, AND 
SPENDING SOME 
TIME IN LOCAL 
GOVERNMENT, I 
DECIDED TO RUN 
FOR CONGRESS IN 
2010. 
THE DISTRICT IS 
BASED IN 
CHARLESTON, 
SOUTH CAROLINA 
WHERE THE CIVIL 
WAR STARTED. 
AGAINST A SON OF 
OUR LEGENDARY 
SENATOR, STRONG 
SERMON. 
YOU MAY BE 
ASKING YOURSELF, 
HOW DOES A POOR 
BLACK KID FROM A 
SINGLE-PARENT 
HOUSEHOLD RUN 
AND WIN IN A 
RACE CROWDED 
WITH REPUBLICANS?
AGAINST A SERMON?
BECAUSE OF THE 
EVOLUTION OF THE 
SOUTHERN HEART. 
IN AN 
OVERWHELMINGLY 
WHITE DISTRICT, 
THE VOTERS 
JUDGED ME, NOT 
ON THE COLOR OF 
MY SKIN, BUT ON 
THE CONTENT OF 
MY CHARACTER. 
WE LIVE IN A 
WORLD THAT ONLY 
WANTS YOU TO 
BELIEVE IN THE 
BAD NEWS. 
RACIALLY, 
ECONOMICALLY AND 
CULTURALLY 
POLARIZING NEWS. 
THE TRUTH IS, 
OUR NATION HAS 
ALWAYS BEEN BACK 
TOWARD FAIRNESS. 
WE ARE NOT FULLY 
YOU WANT TO BE 
BUT I THINK GOD 
ALMIGHTY WE ARE 
NOT WHERE WE 
USED TO BE. 
WE ARE ALWAYS 
STRIVING TO BE 
BETTER. 
WHEN WE STUMBLE, 
AND WE WILL, WE 
PICKED OURSELVES 
BACK UP AND TRY 
AGAIN. 
WE DON'T GIVE IN 
TO CANCEL 
CULTURE OR THE 
RADICAL AND 
FACTUALLY 
BASELESS 
BELIEVES THAT 
THINGS ARE WORSE 
TODAY THAN IN 
THE 1860S OR THE 
1960s. 
WE HAVE WORKED 
AND WE HAVE WORK 
TO DO BUT I 
BELIEVE IN THE 
GOODNESS OF 
AMERICA. 
THE PROMISE THAT 
ALL MEN AND ALL 
WOMEN ARE 
CREATED EQUALLY. 
IF YOU ARE 
WATCHING TONIGHT,
I'M BETTING YOU 
DO, TOO. 
OVER THE PAST 
FOUR YEARS, WE 
HAVE MADE 
TREMENDOUS 
PROGRESS TOWARD 
THAT PROMISE. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
BUILT THE MOST 
INCLUSIVE 
ECONOMY EVER. 7 
MILLION JOBS 
CREATED PRE-
COVID-19 AND TWO-
THIRDS OF THEM 
WENT TO WOMEN, 
AFRICAN-
AMERICANS AND 
HISPANICS. 
THE FIRST NEW 
MAJOR EFFORT TO 
TACKLE PROPERTY 
IN A GENERATION, 
OPPORTUNITY 
ZONES. 
WE PUT HARD-
EARNED TAX 
DOLLARS BACK IN 
PEOPLE'S POCKETS 
BY CUTTING THEIR 
TAXES, 
ESPECIALLY FOR 
SINGLE-PARENT 
HOUSEHOLDS LIKE 
THE ONE I GREW 
UP IN, CUTTING 
SINGLE MOTHERS' 
TAXES 70% ON 
AVERAGE. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
SUPPORTED THESE 
TAX CUTS FOR 
THOSE SINGLE MOMS
AND OTHER 
WORKING FAMILIES 
AND ASSIGNED 
THESE POLICIES 
INTO LAW AND OUR 
NATION IS BETTER 
OFF FOR IT. 
SO I'M GOING TO 
ASK YOU, THE 
AMERICAN PEOPLE, 
NOT TO SIMPLY 
LOOK AT WHAT THE 
CANDIDATES SAY 
BUT TO LOOK BACK 
AT WHAT THEY 
HAVE DONE. 
THIS ELECTION, 
IT'S ABOUT YOUR 
FUTURE AND IT IS 
CRITICAL TO 
PAINT A FULL 
PICTURE OF THE 
RECORDS OF 
DONALD TRUMP AND 
JOE BIDEN. 
JOE BIDEN SAID 
IF A BLACK MAN 
DID NOT VOTE FOR 
HIM, HE WASN'T 
TRULY BLACK. 
JOE BIDEN SAID 
IF BLACK PEOPLE 
ARE A MONOLITHIC 
COMMUNITY. 
IT WAS JOE BIDEN 
WHO SAID, POOR 
KIDS CAN BE JUST 
AS SMART AS 
WHITE KIDS. 
AND WHILE HIS 
WORDS ARE ONE 
THING, HIS 
ACTIONS TAKE IT 
TO A WHOLE NEW 
LEVEL. 
IN 1994, BIDEN 
LED THE CHARGE 
OF THE CRIME 
BILL THAT PUT 
MILLIONS OF 
BLACK AMERICANS 
BEHIND BARS. 
PRESIDENT 
TRUMP'S CRIMINAL 
JUSTICE REFORM 
LAW, FIXED MANY 
OF THE 
DISPARITIES 
BIDEN CREATED 
AND MADE OUR 
SYSTEM MORE FAIR 
AND JUST FOR ALL 
AMERICANS. 
JOE BIDEN FAILED 
OUR NATIONS 
HISTORICALLY 
BLACK COLLEGES 
AND 
UNIVERSITIES. 
HE HEAPED BLAME 
ON THEM AS THEY 
THOUGHT TO 
ASSURE OUR YOUNG 
FOLKS HAD ACCESS 
TO HIGHER 
EDUCATION. 
ONCE AGAIN, TO 
CLEAN UP JOE 
BIDEN'S MESS, 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
SIGNED INTO LAW 
HISTORICALLY 
HIGH FUNDING FOR 
HBCUS AS WELL AS 
A BILL TO GIVE 
THEM PERMANENT 
FUNDING FOR THE 
FIRST TIME EVER. 
AND NOW, JOE 
BIDEN WANTS TO 
COME FOR YOUR 
POCKETBOOKS. 
UNLESS, OF 
COURSE, YOU ARE 
A BLUE STATE 
ALIEN AIR. 
I'M SERIOUS. 
THAT IS ONE OF 
THEIR SOLUTIONS 
FOR THE 
PANDEMIC. 
THEY WANT TO 
TAKE MORE MONEY 
FROM YOUR POCKET 
AND GIVE IT TO 
MANHATTAN ELITES 
AND HOLLYWOOD 
MOGULS SO THEY 
GET A TAX BREAK. 
REPUBLICANS, 
HOWEVER PAST 
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S
ONCE IN A 
GENERATION TAX 
REFORM BILL THAT 
LOWERED TAXES 
FOR SINGLE MOMS, 
WORKING 
FAMILIES, AND 
THOSE IN NEED. 
SO WHEN IT COMES 
TO IT, JOE BIDEN 
SAYS HE WILL DO 
BUT LOOK AT HIS 
ACTIONS, LOOK AT 
HIS POLICY, LOOK 
AT WHAT HE 
ALREADY DID AND 
WHAT HE DIDN'T 
DO. 
WHILE HE HAS 
BEEN IN 
WASHINGTON FOR 
47 YEARS. LADIES 
AND GENTLEMAN, 
PEOPLE DON'T 
ALWAYS SEE THOSE 
FAILURES BECAUSE 
THEY THINK WE 
ARE HAVING A 
POLICY DEBATE ON 
TWO SIDES OF AN 
ISSUE. 
THAT IS NOT WHAT 
IS HAPPENING. 
OUR SIDE IS 
WORKING ON POLICY
, ON JOE BIDEN'S 
RADICAL 
DEMOCRATS TRYING 
TO PERMANENTLY 
TRANSFORM WHAT 
IT MEANS TO BE 
AN AMERICAN. 
MAKE NO MISTAKE. 
JOE BIDEN AND, 
HARRIS WANT A 
CULTURAL 
REVOLUTION, A 
FUNDAMENTALLY 
DIFFERENT AMERICA
. IF WE LET THEM,
THEY WILL TURN 
OUR COUNTRY INTO 
A SOCIALIST 
UTOPIA AND 
HISTORY HAS 
TAUGHT US THAT 
PATH ONLY LEADS 
TO PAIN AND 
MISERY, 
ESPECIALLY FOR 
HARD-WORKING 
PEOPLE HOPING TO 
RISE. 
INSTEAD, WE MUST 
FOCUS ON THE 
PROMISE OF THE 
AMERICAN 
JOURNEY. 
I KNOW THAT VERY 
WELL. 
MY GRANDFATHER'S 
99th BIRTHDAY 
WOULD HAVE BEEN 
TOMORROW. 
GROWING UP, HE 
HAD TO CROSS THE 
STREET IF A 
WHITE PERSON WAS 
COMING. 
HE SUFFERED THE 
INDIGNITY OF 
BEING FORCED OUT 
OF SCHOOL AS A 
THIRD GRADER. 
TO. 
COTTON HE NEVER 
LEARNED TO READ 
OR WRITE. 
YET, HE LIVED 
LONG ENOUGH TO 
SEE HIS GRANDSON 
BECOME THE FIRST 
AFRICAN-AMERICAN 
TO BE ELECTED TO 
BOTH THE UNITED 
STATES HOUSE AND 
THE UNITED 
STATES SENATE IN 
THE HISTORY OF 
THIS COUNTRY. 
OUR FAMILY WENT 
FROM COTTON TO 
CONGRESS IN ONE 
LIFETIME. 
AND THAT IS WHY 
I BELIEVE THE 
NEXT AMERICAN 
CENTURY CAN BE 
BETTER THAN THE 
LAST. 
THERE ARE 
MILLIONS OF 
FAMILIES JUST 
LIKE MINE ALL 
ACROSS THIS 
NATION FULL OF 
POTENTIAL 
SEEKING TO LIVE 
THE AMERICAN 
DREAM AND I'M 
HERE TONIGHT TO 
TELL YOU THAT 
SUPPORTING THE 
REPUBLICAN TICKET
GIVES YOU THE 
BEST CHANCE OF 
MAKING THAT DREAM
A REALITY. 
GOD BLESS YOU 
AND FATHER, 
PLEASE CONTINUE 
BLESSING THE 
UNITED STATES OF 
AMERICA. 
GOD BLESS. 
,
>>> FROM THE 
STATE OF SOUTH 
CAROLINA, 
SENATOR TIM 
SCOTT THERE. 
LET ME BRING IN 
KRISTEN WELKER 
RIGHT NOW. 
CHRISTIAN HE 
SEEMED TO BE 
TRYING TO CHANGE 
THE NARRATIVE 
ABOUT RACE IN 
THIS COUNTRY. 
>> HE WAS, 
LESTER AND I 
THINK THAT'S 
ABSOLUTELY 
RIGHT. 
I THOUGHT IT WAS 
NOTABLE HE WAS 
MAKING THE 
BROADER ARGUMENT 
OF THIS 
CONVENTION THAT 
JOE BIDEN AND A, 
LEE HARRIS WILL 
TURN THE UNITED 
STATES INTO A 
SOCIALIST COUNTRY
THROUGH THE 
PRISM OF RACE 
AND LOOKING BACK 
AT JOE BIDEN'S 
POLICIES, 
NOTABLE HE RAISED
A 1994 CRIME 
BILL. 
I CAN TELL YOU A 
LOT OF THE 
PRESIDENT'S 
ALLIES THINK HE 
SHOULD BE 
SPENDING MORE 
TIME THINKING 
ABOUT JOE 
BIDEN'S RECORD. 
JOE BIDEN SAID 
THAT CRIME BILL 
WAS PASSED WITH 
BY CYTOSINE THE 
MUST BIPARTISAN 
SUPPORT. 
HE WAS ALSO HIT 
WITH THE NUMBER 
OF ISSUES ON 
RACE. 
BIDEN HAS 
APOLOGIZED FOR 
IT AND OF COURSE 
TIM SCOTT IS A 
SIGNIFICANT 
BLACK VOICE, THE 
ONLY BLACK GOP 
SENATOR, 
SOMEBODY WHO HAS 
CHOSEN HIS WORDS 
CAREFULLY WHEN 
IT COMES TO THE 
PRESIDENT. 
HE WILL SPEAK 
OUT WHEN HE 
THINKS THE 
PRESIDENT HAS 
DONE SOMETHING 
THAT IS 
OFFENSIVE. 
HE COULD HELP 
WIN OVER A FEW 
AFRICAN-AMERICAN 
VOTERS BUT 
BROADER CONTEXT 
HERE RIGHT NOW 
JOE BIDEN LEADS 
WITH AFRICAN-
AMERICAN VOTERS 
MORE THAN 80%. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP 
RIGHT NOW 
REGISTERED IN 
THE SINGLE 
DIGITS, LESTER. 
>> ALL RIGHT, 
THANK YOU. 
>> LET'S TAKE A 
LOOK AHEAD 
TOMORROW AS WE 
WRAP UP TONIGHT 
EVENTS. 
THE FIRST LADY 
WILL SPEAK FROM 
THE ROSE GARDEN 
TOMORROW MY. 
THIS WILL BE THE 
FIRST EVENT ON 
WHITE HOUSE 
GROUNDS WHICH 
HAS RAISED 
QUESTIONS ABOUT 
THE 
EXTRAORDINARY 
NATURE OF 
HOLDING A 
POLITICAL EVENT 
LIKE THIS 
CONVENTION ON 
CAMPUS AT THE 
WHITE HOUSE BUT 
YOU WILL SEE AN 
AUDIENCE IN THE 
ROSE GARDEN. 
PLANNERS TELL ME

THE FIRST TIME A

WE WILL TAKE A 
QUICK BREAK AND 
COME BACK WITH 
FINAL THOUGHTS,
