>>> WELCOME BACK TO OUR COVERAGE
OF THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL 
CONVENTION SUCH AS IT IS.
EVERYTHING WE HAVE SEEN THUS FAR
HAVE BEEN TAPED.
THIS IS THE FIRST LIVE REMARK 
FROM THE CHAIR REPUBLICAN PARTY.
>> THANK YOU FOR TUNING IN AS WE
KICKOFF THIS HISTORIC 
CONVENTION.
AS WE SPEAK TO YOU TONIGHT, WE 
SEND OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS TO
THOSE FACING TERRIBLE FIRES IN 
CALIFORNIA AND HURRICANES IN THE
GULF COAST.
DEMOCRATS STARTED THEIR 
CONVENTION WITH EVA LONGORIA.
I AM A REAL HOUSEWIFE AND A MOM 
FROM MICHIGAN WITH TWO WONDERFUL
KIDS IN PUBLIC SCHOOL WHO 
HAPPENS TO BE THE ONLY SECOND 
WOMAN IN 164 YEARS TO RUN THE 
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
UNLIKE JOE BIDEN, PRESIDENT 
TRUMP DID NOT CHOOSE ME BECAUSE 
I AM A WOMAN.
HE CHOSE BE BECAUSE I WAS THE 
BEST PERSON FOR THE JOB.
FOUR YEARS AGO PRESIDENT TRUMP 
STARTED A MOVEMENT UNLIKE ANY 
OTHER.
OVER THE NEXT FOUR DAYS WE'LL 
HEAR FROM A FEW OF THE MILLIONS 
HARDWORKING EVERYDAY AMERICANS 
WHO HAVE BENEFITED FROM HIS 
LEADERSHIP.
IF YOU WATCHED THE DNC LAST WEEK
YOU WILL NOTICED DEMOCRATS SPENT
A LOT OF TIME TALKING ABOUT HOW 
MUCH THEY DESPISE OUR PRESIDENT 
BUT WE HEARD LITTLE OF THEIR 
ACTUAL POLICIES.
POLICIES THAT WOULD BE 
UNTHINKABLE DEADES AGO.
TAXPAYERS FUNDED HEALTHCARE FOR 
PEOPLE COMING HERE ILLEGALLY AND
DEFUNDING THE POLICE.
THE ARGUMENT FOR JOE BIDEN BOILS
DOWN TO THE FEEDBACK THAT THEY 
THINK HE'S A NICE GUY.
RAISING TAXES ON 82% OF 
AMERICANS IS NOT NICE.
ELIMINATING 10 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 EMPATHIZED WITH 
EVERYDAY AMERICANS AND BEEN 
FIGHTING FOR THEM THE PAST FOUR 
YEARS AND THAT'S PRESIDENT 
DONALD TRUMP.
IN THE NEARLY FOUR YEARS I 
WORKED ON BEHALF OF PRESIDENT 
TRUMP, I HAVE SEEN UP CLOSE A 
MAN WHO HAS A DEEP LOVE FOR 
FAMILY, A MAN WHO HAS REVERENCE 
FOR THE OFFICER OF PRESIDENCY.
A MAN WITH INCREDIBLE RESPECT 
FOR OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT AND 
MILITARY.
I HAVE SEEN PRIVATE MOMENTS 
WHERE HE COMFORT AMERICANS IN 
TIMES OF PAIN AND SADNESS.
EVERYONE KNOWS HE CAN BE TOUGH.
HE'S TOUGH WHEN HE TAKES ON 
E
CHINA, TOUGH WHEN HE WORKS ON 
OUR UNFAIR DEALS AND TOUGH TO 
SECURE OUR BORDER.
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS ALWAYS TOUGH 
WHEN HE'S FIGHTING FOR THE 
AMERICAN PEOPLE BECAUSE NICE GUY
LIKE JOE CARES MORE ABOUT 
COUNTRIES LIKE CHINA AND IRAN 
THAN THE UNITED STATES OF 
AMERICA.
TONIGHT BEGINS A NEW CHAPTER IN 
THE GREAT AMERICAN STORY, A 
STORY THAT INSPIRES THE WORLD 
FOR GENERATIONS.
WHEN WE RELAX, PRESIDENT TRUMP 
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 AND SECURE YOUR BALLOT 
AND REGISTER TO VOTE, TEXT VOTE 
TO 88022.
EARLIER TODAY PRESIDENT TRUMP 
AND VICE PRESIDENT PENCE CAME TO
NORTH CAROLINA TO THANK OUR 
DELEGATES FOR UNANIMOUSLY RENO, 
RENOMINATING THEM FOR A SECOND 
TERM.
WE CREATED A SHORT VIDEO TO 
SYMBOLIZE THE EXCITEMENT OF 
PRESIDENT TRUMP IN ALL 50 
STATES.
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING, GOD 
BLESS YOU AND GOD BLESS THE 
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

>> MY NAME IS AMY FORD, I HAVE 
BEEN A REGISTERED NURSE FOR 17 
YEARS.
I AM FROM A SMALL TOWN OF 
VIRGINIA WHERE I HAVE LIVED MY 
ENTIRE LIFE.
I WAS THE YOUNGEST OF FOUR 
CHILDREN, I WAS SOME WHAT A 
CARETAKER.
IT CAME NATURAL FOR ME.
IT FELT RIGHT TO FOLLOW MY 
FOOTSTEPS TO BECOME A NURSE.
I KNEW I HAD TO HELP ANY WAY I 
COULD.
I DEPLOYED IN NEW YORK IN APRIL 
AND TO SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, 
WORKING AS A COVID-19 NURSE IN 
BOTH STATES.
I NOTICED THE POLITICS CHANGE IN
OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.
PRESIDENT TRUMP RECOGNIZED THE 
THREAT THIS VIRUS PRESENTED FOR 
ALL AMERICANS EARLY ON AND A 
RAPID POLICY CHANGES.
TELEHEALTH SERVICES ARE 
ACCESSIBLE TO 71 MILLION 
AMERICANS INCLUDING 35 MILLION 
CHILDREN.
PRIOR TO COVID, TELEHEALTH WAS 
NOT COVERED OR REIMBURSED AND 
MEDICARE AND MEDICAID.
THIS LEFT OUR MOST VULNERABLE 
POPULATIONS WITH NO OTHER CHOICE
BUT TO HAVE AN IN-PERSON OFFICE 
VISIT WITH THEIR PHYSICIANS.
INCREASE THEIR RISK OF EXPOSURES
OF COVID-19.
ALLOWING LOVED ONES TO CONTACT 
AND VISUALIZATION AS WELL AS A 
BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF CARE.
TELEHEALTH HAS BEEN ESSENTIAL.
I DON'T WANT THE MEDIA TAKING MY
PERSONAL STORY AND TWEETING IT.
LET ME BE CLEAR, AS A HEALTHCARE
PROFESSIONAL I CAN TELL YOU 
WITHOUT HESITATION, DONALD 
TRUMP'S LEADERSHIP SAVES 
THOUSANDS OF LIVES DURING 
COVID-19.
THE BENEFIT OF THAT RESPONSE 
EXTENDS FAR FROM CORONAVIRUS.
THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE IN RURAL
AMERICA.
I LIVE IN A TOWN OF ABOUT 2,000 
PEOPLE, WE DO NOT HAVE TRAINS 
AVAILABLE TO US.
IN ADDITION, THE AVAILABILITY OF
SERVICES CAN HINDER TREATMENTS 
FOR MANY.
SO INCREASE ACCESS FOR 
TELEHEALTH FOR MILLIONS OF 
AMERICANS HAVE BEEN LOPSIDED, WE
HAVE PRESIDENT TRUMP TO THANK.
>> FROM THE BEGINNING, 
DEMOCRATS, THE MEDIA AND THE 
WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION GOT 
CORONAVIRUS WRONG.
THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION 
SAID AUTHORITIES FOUND NO CLEAR 
EVIDENCE OF HUMAN TO HUMAN 
TRANSMISSION.
>> EVERYTHING IS FINE HERE.
>> COME TO JOIN US.
>> WE DON'T EVEN THINK IT IS 
EVER BAD.
>> GO ABOUT YOUR LIVES AND 
BUSINESS.
>> ONE LEADER TOOK DECISIVE 
ACTION TO SAVE LIVES, PRESIDENT 
TRUMP, BANNING TRAVEL FROM CHINA
AND CORONAVIRUS EPIC CENTER.
PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS RIGHT.
SIGNING THE CARE ACT PROVIDING 
RELIEF TO AMERICAN FAMILIES, 
WORKS AND BUSINESSES, DECLARING 
A NATIONAL EMERGENCY AND QUICKLY
GETTING PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT TO 
THE STATES.
SIGNING THE FAMILY'S FIRST 
CORONAVIRUS RESPONSE ACT.
ENSURING AMERICAN FAMILIES AND 
BUSINESSES IMPACTED BY THE VIRUS
RECEIVES THE STRONG SUPPORT THEY
NEED.
LAUNCHING OPERATIONS AND FAST 
TRACK THE VACCINE IN RECORD 
TIME.
>> HE SAID EVERYTHING THAT I 
COULD HAVE HOPED AND PROMISED 
AND READY AND WILLING AND ABLE 
TO HELP.
>> HE'S BEEN RESPONSIVE AND DONE
A LOT OF GOOD THINGS.
WHAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT 
DID -- 
>> YOU ARE HELPING US IN A BIG 
WAY.
WE WERE IN THE EDGE OF THIS LIFE
OR DEATH AND WE ARE FOREVER 
THANKFUL FOR THAT.
>> SOON WE'LL EMERGE AND 
STRONGER AND GREATER THAN EVER.
>> I AM GOING TO BREAK IN HERE 
FOR A SECOND AS THEY CONTINUE TO
TALK ABOUT COVID-19 AND THE 
NATIONAL RESPONSE TO THAT.
I WANT TO BRING IN THE 
DISCUSSION HERE OF DR. GUPTA IN 
SEATTLE AND A POLICY EXPERT.
MSNBC MADE A DECISION TO PUT UP 
ON THE SCREEN THERE SOME 
CONTACTS AS THE SPEAKER CLAIMS 
THAT THE PRESIDENT'S QUICK 
ACTIONS SAVE THOUSANDS OF LIVES.
WE HAVE ONE OF THE WORST 
OUTBREAKS ON EARTH.
DR. GUPTA LET ME JUST ASK YOU AS
YOU ARE HEARING THIS, WHAT 
SHOULD PEOPLE UNDERSTAND IN 
TERMS OF A BIT OF A REALITY 
CHECK HERE?
>> THANKS RACHEL.
A LOT OF THAT WAS HARD TO LISTEN
TO.
THIS IS NOT AS A PARTISAN BUT A 
CLINICIAN.
FOR MANY WEEKS FOR THE LAST SIX 
MONTHS WHICH WE DID NOT KNOW 
EXISTED TOWARDS THE END OF 2019.
THE NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF DEATH 
FOR AMERICANS.
LAST WEEK WAS THE SECOND LEADING
CAUSE OF DEATH.
TO SAY 120,000 SOULS LOST UP TO 
NOW OF A SUCCESS OF ANY MEASURE 
IS FANTASY.
IT IS DISRESPECTFUL TO FAMILIES 
WHO LOST LOVED ONES AND 
FRONTLINE CLINICIANS WHO PUT 
THEIR LIVES AT RISK.
THAT'S FANTASY.
LET'S TALK ABOUT PPE.
WE HAD TO IMPORT INSUFFICIENT 
AND ADEQUATE PPE AND KN 95 MASKS
THAT DID NOT NEED ANY STANDARD 
FROM CHINA BECAUSE WE DID NOT 
HAVE ENOUGH PPE IN OUR STRATEGIC
STOCKPILE.
FOR ALL YOUR VIEWERS OUT THERE 
OR LISTENING TO WHAT THE RNC IS 
DOING RIGHT NOW IS ALL 
PROPAGANDA.
WE DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH PPE FOR 
OUR NURSES AND DOCTORS TO CARE 
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
WHAT ABOUT TESTING?
WE STILL DON'T HAVE ENOUGH 
TESTING.
THE RIGHT TAPE OF TESTING AND 
RAPID CARE TEST.
THAT'S WHY WE ARE SEEING TESTING
NUMBER GOES DOWN.
THAT'S ONE OF THE LOWEST POINTS 
IT HAS BEEN IN WEEKS, DOWN FROM 
900,000 TOWARDS THE END OF JULY.
THIS NOTION OF TELEHEALTH, THE 
NURSE THAT WAS JUST SPEAKING OF 
TELEHEALTH AND PROGRESSIVE 
POLICIES OF TELEHEALTH.
LET ME FACT-CHECK THAT.
THE ADMINISTRATION DID NOT 
INVENT TELEHEALTH THE LAST FEW 
MONTHS.
THAT'S FALSE.
THAT'S ABSOLUTELY FALSE.
UP UNTIL MAY, YOU NEEDED A SPARK
PHONE AND BROAD BAND INTERNET 
ACCESS TO COMMUNICATE WITH 
TELEHEALTH PROVIDER.
IT WAS NOT UNTIL THE MIDDLE OF 
MAY THEY ALLOWED TO LOOSEN 
RESTRICTIONS TO COMMUNICATE WITH
A PROVIDER BY PHONE.
LET'S BE CLEAR OF WHAT'S TRUE 
AND NOT TRUE.
>> DR. GUPTA, THANK YOU FOR 
HELPING US, KEEPING REALITY 
INSIGHT HERE AS WE CONTINUE TO 
WATCH THIS.
WE'LL BE BACK AS THE EVENING 
PROGRESSES.
WE ARE WATCHING THE FIRST NIGHT 
OF AN RNC TV SHOW PRODUCED BY 
THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND THE 
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE, 
THE CONVENTION PART FINISHED UP 
THIS MORNING.
WE'LL BE BACK INTO THE PROGRAM 
NOW WE ARE EXPECTING OVER THE 
COURSE OF THIS EVENING OF 
SPEECHES OF DONALD TRUMP JR. AND
LOOKS LIKE IT IS GOING TO BE 
REPUBLICAN SENATOR TIM SCOTT.
LET'S GET BACK TO THE PROGRAM 
NOW.
>> WHEN THE CHINA VIRUS INVADED 
OUR COUNTRY, WE LAUNCHED THE 
GREATEST MOBILIZATION SINCE 
WORLD WAR II, SAVED THE LIVES OF
THEIR FELLOW CITIZENS.
OUR HEARTS IS OVER FLOWN WITH 
APPRECIATION FOR THE INCREDIBLE 
FRONTLINE WORKERS WHO RISKED 
THEIR OWN SAFETY TO KEEP AMERICA
STRONG AND SAFE.
WHEN CRISIS CAME, MILLIONS OF 
EVERYDAY AMERICANS ROSE TO THE 
CHALLENGE.
IN THEIR ACTIONS WE SEE TRUE 
GREATNESS OF THE AMERICAN 
CHARACTER.
WE ALWAYS FIND A WAY TO VICTORY.
HISTORY WILL REMEMBER THE 
CELEBRATE THE HEROES OF 2020 FOR
AS LONG AS OUR GREAT AMERICAN 
FLAG WAVES OVER THE LAND THAT WE
LOVE.
I OFFER THE SALUTE OF THE NATION
THAT'S FOREVER IN YOUR DEBT.
THANK YOU, GOD BLESS YOU AND GOD
BLESS AMERICA.
>> THESE ARE MY FRIENDS, THESE 
ARE THE INCREDIBLE WORKERS THAT 
HELPED US SO MUCH WITH THE 
COVID-19.
WE CAN CALL IT MANY DIFFERENT 
THINGS, FROM CHINA VIRUS, I 
DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH THE 
NAMES BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE WILL 
GET INSULTED.
THESE ARE GREAT PEOPLE, DOCTORS 
AND NURSES AND FIREMEN AND 
POLICEMEN.
WE WANT TO THANK YOU, YOU HAVE 
BEEN INCREDIBLE AND WE WANT TO 
THANK YOU.
ALL OF THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE 
THAT YOU REPRESENT.
THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH, GREAT 
JOB.
THANK YOU.
#. 
>> SO TELL ME A LITTLE BIT OF 
YOUR STORY.
HOW ABOUT WE'LL START WITH YOU.
>> I AM A POSTAL WORKER.
I DELIVER FOR THE SENIOR 
COMMUNITY DURING COVID-19.
>> WE ARE TAKING GOOD CARE OF 
OUR POSTAL.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> WE ARE NOT GETTING RID OF OUR
POSTAL WORKERS, YOU KNOW, THEY 
SORT OF LIKE TO PUT IT OUT 
THERE.
IT IS THE DEMOCRATS AND NOT THE 
REPUBLICANS.
I WANT TO THANK YOU VERY MUCH 
N
AND THE WHOLE BEAUTIFUL POSTAL 
SYSTEM.
HOW ABOUT YOU?
>> I AM A TRUCKER.
>> GOOD.
>> WE MAKE HOSPITAL BEDS.
>> I LOVE THE TRUCKERS, THEY ARE
ON MY SIDE.
I THINK PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THEM.
>> HOW ABOUT YOU?
>> I AM A CUSTODIAN.
>> WHAT DO YOU DO?
>> I AM CLEANING UP EVERYBODY'S 
MESS AND GERMS AND ALL THAT.
>> THAT BUSINESS WILL NEVER BE 
OUT OF BUSINESS.
HOW ABOUT YOU?
>> I AM REGISTERED NURSE.
>> GOOD.
>> I WORK AT NEW JERSEY 
HOSPITAL.
I ALSO REPRESENT AN ORGANIZATION
OF PROFESSIONAL NURSES CALLED 
THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF 
NURSES: I WANT TO TELL YOU SIR, 
AS A NURSING SUPERVISOR, I AM IN
AWE OF YOUR LEADERSHIP.
HONESTLY, I KNOW MANY PEOPLE 
HAVE SAID INTERESTING THINGS.
IT TAKES A TRUE LEADER TO DO 
WHAT'S RIGHT AND NOT BE OFFENDED
BY ALL THE WORDS BEING SAID.
YOU REALLY DO SHOW THAT POSITIVE
SPIRIT TO US AND AS NURSES, I 
APPRECIATE THAT.
JUST AS AN INDIVIDUAL I AM 
GRATEFUL FOR THAT.
>> I AM FOR EVERYBODY AND FOR 
THE NURSES.
WE HAVE TO MAKE THIS CHINA VIRUS
GO AWAY AND IT IS HAPPENING.
PLEASE GO AHEAD.
>> I AM ALSO A NURSE.
I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR 
ADMINISTRATION FOR ALL THE 
SUPPLIES AND PPE.
WITHOUT THAT WE COULD NOT DO AS 
WELL AS WE HAVE BEEN.
I SPENT SOME TIME IN NEW JERSEY,
I LIVE IN WEST VIRGINIA AND I 
WENT TO VIRGINIA AND DID SOME 
WORK THERE.
WE STARTED TO SEE THINGS CHANGED
AND TURNED AROUND.
>> WE HAVE DELIVERED BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS OF EQUIPMENT THAT 
GOVERNORS WERE SUPPOSED TO GET 
AND IN MANY CASES THEY DID NOT 
GET.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAD TO 
HELP THEM AND ALL THE PEOPLE 
THAT DID THIS INCREDIBLE WORK.
THEY NEVER GOT CREDIT FOR IT.
YOU UNDERSTAND WHERE IT CAME 
FROM.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU BOTH.
IT IS REALLY NICE.
PLEASE GO AHEAD.
>> I AM AL POLICE OFFICER IN 
ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO.
I CONTRACTED COVID IN LATE MARCH
AND RECOVERED.
>> THAT MEANS WE DON'T HAVE TO 
BE AFRAID OF YOU.
>> ONCE YOU ARE RECOVERED, YOU 
KNOW WE HAVE THE WHOLE THING 
WITH PLASMA HAPPENING, THAT 
MEANS YOUR BLOOD IS VERY 
VALUABLE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
GREAT.
PLEASE.
>> I AM A DETENTION DEPUTY OF 
CALIFORNIA.
>> GREAT.
>> I CONTRACTED COVID ALSO END 
OF MARCH AND RECOVERED FROM 
THAT.
>> HOW LONG WAS YOUR PROBLEM?
>> I WAS SICK ABOUT TEN DAYS 
REALLY BAD AND I GOT EVERYTHING 
BESIDES A COUGH BUT RECOVERED 
AND I WAS OFF WORK FOR A MONTH 
AND A HALF.
I WORK IN OUR LOCAL COUNTY 
JAILS.
>> DID THEY DO ANYTHING 
SPECIFICALLY TO HELP YOU 
RECOVER?
>> THEY GAVE ME COUGH SYRUPS.
>> I WON'T ASK YOU WITH 
HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE.
>> IT IS A SHAME WHAT THEY DID 
TO THAT ONE.
>> I WANT TO THANK YOU VERY 
MUCH.
IT IS AN HONOR TO HAVE YOU AT 
THE WHITE HOUSE.
YOU REPRESENT AN INCREDIBLE 
GROUP OF PEOPLE.
WE LOVE YOU ALL.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
APPRECIATE IT.
>> WE ARE GOING TO JUMP IN HERE 
FOR A SECOND IN TERMS OF SOME OF
THE PRESIDENT'S CLAIMS THERE, 
MOSTLY ABOUT COVID BUT ALSO 
ABOUT THE POSTAL SERVICE.
THE PRESIDENT TALKING ABOUT HIS 
CARING ABOUT THE POSTAL SERVICE 
AND WORKERS AND WANTING TO TAKE 
CARE OF THEM.
THE REASON THAT'S IN THE NEWS 
AND THAT'S IN THIS REPUBLICAN 
SHOW TONIGHT IS BECAUSE 
PRESIDENT'S GENERAL HAD CHANGES 
IN THE POST OFFICE THAT CREATED 
REAL PROBLEMS, NOT JUST THREATS 
BUT MATERIAL DELAYS FOR MAIL 
SERVICE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY IN 
TERMS OF PEOPLE NOT GETTING 
MEDICATIONS ON TIME AND LIVE 
ANIMALS DID NOT GET SHIPPED IN 
TIME AND THOSE CHANGES DELAY 
MAIL DELIVERY TIMES ARE THINGS 
THAT HAPPENED DURING THE TRUMP 
ADMINISTRATION AND FOR THEM TO 
BE TAKING CARE OF POSTAL SERVICE
AND IT IS THE DEMOCRATS ARE UP 
TO GET IT IS BACKWARD.
>> THE INFORMATION THAT COMES 
WITHIN THE POSTAL OFFICE, 
WHISTLE BLOWER INSIDE THE POSTAL
SERVICE ARE CRYING OUT AND SAY 
LOOK AT THESE PACKAGES PILING 
UP.
ALL OVER THIS COUNTRY PEOPLE. 
ARE
SUFFERING.
I AM STRUCK BY THE FEEDBACK THAT
HE'S DOING THIS AND CARING 
FOREFRONT LINE WORKERS.
IT IS A VERSION OF WHAT JOE 
BIDEN DID WHEN HE WAS 
INTERVIEWING PEOPLE.
TRUMP IS DOING IT INSIDE THE 
WHITE HOUSE USING IT AS A SET.
AND JUST USING THE WHITE HOUSE 
IN THAT WAY.
AGAIN, AND NO MASKS ON.
>> THEY ARE APART FROM ONE 
ANOTHER.
PRESUMABLY THEY ALL HAD TO BE 
TESTED.
ONE OF THE PEOPLE TOLD THE 
PRESIDENT SHE HAD COVID AND SHE 
RECOVERED AND THE PRESIDENT SAID
"WE DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID OF 
YOU THEN."
I SHOULD ALSO SAID THE PRESIDENT
SAID "YOUR BLOOD IS VERY 
VALUABLE, WE JUST DID THAT 
PLASMA THING."
THE PRESIDENT IS NOT TALKING 
ABOUT IN A WAY THAT'S COINCIDE 
WITH SCIENCE.
THE WHITE HOUSE DID PRESSURE THE
FDA TO APPROVE PLASMA IN AN 
EMERGENCY USE.
IT IS AGAINST THE RECOMMENDATION
OF FDA SCIENTISTS AND THE HEAD 
OF THE DNA AND DR. FAUCI THAT 
THEY DID THAT.
THERE IS NO STRONG SCIENTIFIC 
EVIDENCE THAT SUGGESTS THAT 
PLASMA AND ANTIBODIES THAT'S A 
TREATMENT FOR PEOPLE.
THE PRESIDENT TALKED ABOUT 
SENDING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO 
SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES 
BECAUSE THE GOVERNOR WOULD NOT.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAVE SENT
VERY LITTLE IN TERMS OF 
SUPPLIES.
THAT'S SOMETHING HE OVER 
PROMISED AND UNDER DELIVERED AND
MISCONSTRUED THERE IN THE WAY 
THAT HE PRESENTED THAT.
>> HOPEFULLY WE DON'T HAVE TO DO
THIS ALL NIGHT.
HERSCHEL WALKER IS UP NEXT.
>> I HAVE KNOWN DONALD TRUMP FOR
37 YEARS.
I AM TALKING ABOUT A PERSONAL 
FRIENDSHIP.
I WATCH HIM AS A PROFESSIONAL 
FOOTBALL TEAM.
RIGHT AFTER HE BOUGHT A TEAM, HE
SENT OUT TO LEARN.
HE LEARNED ABOUT HISTORY AND THE
PLAYERS AND COACHES AND EVERY 
DETAIL.
HE USED WHAT HE LEARNED TO MAKE 
THE TEAM BETTER.
I WATCHED HIM IN A BOARD ROOM, 
HE TAUGHT ME THAT FAMILY SHOULD 
BE TOP PRIORITY.
I WATCH HIM TREAT JANITORS AND 
SECURITY GUARDS.
HE MADE THEM FEEL SPECIAL 
BECAUSE HE KNEW THEY WERE.
HE UNDERSTANDS THAT THEY ARE THE
PEOPLE THAT MAKE THIS COUNTRY 
RUN.
THEY CLEAN, THEY COOK, THEY 
BUILD AND THEY DRIVE AND 
DELIVER.
HE TOLD ME MAKE AN EFFORT.
REMEMBER THAT NAME, THAT STUCK 
WITH ME.
ONE TIME I PLAN TO TAKE HIS KIDS
TO DISNEY WORLD WITH MY FAMILY 
AND AT THE LAST MINUTE DONALD 
SAID HE WOULD LIKE TO JOIN US.
THEY WERE UP IN A BUSINESS SUIT 
IN A SMALL WORLD RIDE.
THAT'S SOMETHING TO SEE.
IT SHOWS YOU WHAT A CARING AND 
LOVING FATHER HE IS.
IT HURTS MY SOUL OF TERRIBLE 
NAMES OF WHAT PEOPLE CALL 
DONALD.
ONE OF THEM IS RACIST.
PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE 
TALKING ABOUT.
GROWING UP IN THE DEEP SIDE, I 
HAVE SEEN RACISM UP CLOSE.
I KNOW WHAT IT IS AND IT IS NOT 
DONALD TRUMP.
JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE LOVE AND 
DEFLECT OUR COUNTRY, DOES NOT 
MEAN THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT 
SOCIAL JUSTICE.
I CARE ABOUT ALL THOSE THINGS SO
AS DONALD TRUMP.
HIS ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN 
SLOGANS IN NEW JERSEY.
HE WORKS NIGHT AND DAY AND NEVER
STOPS.
HE LEAVES NOTHING ON THE FIELD.
SOME PEOPLE DON'T LIKE HIS 
STYLE.
THE WAY THAT HE KNOCKS DOWN 
OBSTACLES THAT GETS INTO HIS 
WAY.
THAT'S HOW YOU GET THE JOB DONE.
I PRAY EVERY NIGHT THAT GOD 
GIVES HIM MORE TIME.
GIVE HIM FOUR MORE YEARS.
HE HAS ACCOMPLISHED SO MUCH AND 
ALMOST ALL BY HIMSELF ON A 
CONSTANT ATTACK BUT THERE ARE 
STILL MORE WORK TO BE DONE.
IF YOU LOVE AMERICA AND WANT TO 
MAKE IT BETTER, DONALD TRUMP IS 
YOUR PRESIDENT.
HE'S MY PRESIDENT AND I AM 
BLESSED TO CALL HIM A FRIEND.
>> FOOTBALL GREAT HERSCHEL 
WALKER WITH HIS ENDORSEMENT WITH
THE PRESIDENT.
WE'LL TAKE A QUICK BREAK AND 
WE'LL BE BACK ON THE OTHER SIDE 
WITH MORE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL 
CONVENTION-ISH.

>>> HAPPY TO HAVE YOU HERE WITH 
US FOR NIGHT ONE OF THE RNC.
WE ARE BROADCASTING THIS BY 
CHOICE.
IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO NOT 
BROADCAST DANGEROUS 
MISINFORMATION ESPECIALLY OF THE
MEDICAL VARIETY.
THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO BRING IN 
ONE MORE TIME DR. GUPTA OF THE 
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, 
MEDICAL CENTER.
THERE IS SOMETHING THAT THE 
PRESIDENT SAID A FEW MOMENTS AGO
THAT I FEEL LIKE WE NEED 
ADDRESS.
THE PRESIDENT RAISED THE FACT 
THAT HE PERSONALLY HE TOOK 
HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE AS WELL AS 
SOMETHING CALLED C-PAC.
HE SUGGESTED THAT THOSE THINGS 
PROTECTED HIM FROM GETTING 
COVID.
I WANT TO ASK IF YOU CAN GIVE 
YOUR VIEWERS MORE CONTACT OF 
WHAT IT MEANS.
>> TO ALL VIEWERS OUT THERE, 
THERE IS NO PILL YOU CAN TAKE, 
HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE OR ANTIBIOTIC
FOR A VITAMIN TO PROTECT YOU 
FROM INFECTION OF COVID-19 AND 
QUICKLY SAY IS THAT THESE 
HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE HAVE BEEN 
STUDIED AMONG IN PATIENTS WITH 
COVID-19, THOSE WHO GET BOTH OF 
THOSE DRUGS DO WORSE THAN 
NOTHING AT ALL.
WE WORRY THIS COULD BE A HARMFUL
REGIMENT THAT'S WHY THE 
PRESIDENT SHOULD NOT BE JOKING 
ABOUT IT.
>> EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT HE HAS 
NOT HAD COVID.
HE'S TALKING ABOUT TAKING IT AS 
ESSENTIALLY A PREVENTIVE AND NOT
JUST THERAPEUTIC WHICH IS 
INVITING PEOPLE TO TRY TO DO 
THAT THEMSELVES WHICH AGAIN 
COULD BE DANGEROUS.
THIS IS WHY WE ARE CUTTING IN 
AND GRATEFUL TO YOU DR. GUPTA.
I HOPE WE DO NOT HAVE TO DO IT 
VERY MUCH TONIGHT BUT WE'LL DO 
IT IF WE NEED TO.
WE'LL GO BACK NOW TO SENATOR 
VERNON JONES.
WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP SOUGHT TO 
EARN THE BLACK VOTES, THE 
DEMOCRATIC PARTY LEADER WENT 
CRAZY.
NANCY PELOSI AND CHUCK SCHUMER 
STARTED IN KANSAS FALLS ARNDS 
THE U.S. CAPITOL.
AND IF PANDERING WERE ENOUGH TO 
KEEP US SATISFIED.
LET ME TELL YOU WHY I AM 
SUPPORTING OUR PRESIDENT.
I GREW UP IN THE SOUTH IN 
SCOTLAND COUNTY, THE GREEN POND 
COMMUNITY TO BE EXACT.
MY PARENTS BUILT WITH THEIR OWN 
HANDS A CINDER BLOCK HOME WITH 
NO IN-DOOR PLUMBING.
AS THEY ARE LIMITED WITH 
EDUCATION, THEY INSTILL IN US A 
STRONG WORK ETHIC THAT DROVE ME 
FROM THOSE TOBACCO FIELD OF 
NORTH CAROLINA TO GEORGIA 
ASSEMBLY.
MY PARENTS TAUGHT ME IF I 
BELIEVE IN GOD AND WORK HARD AND
TREATED EVERY PERSON FAIRLY, 
THERE IS NO LIMITS TO WHAT WE 
COULD ACHIEVE.
I ATTENDED NORTH CAROLINA AND 
HISTORIC BLACK COLLEGE.
SBCU HAS BEEN THE INCUBATOR THAT
DEVELOPED BLACK SCHOLARS AND 
MATH AND SCIENCE AND RELIGION 
AND ENGINEERING AND POLITICS.
BUT, DEMOCRATS HAVE NOT TREATED 
THEM THAT WAY.
WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP TOOK 
OFFICE, HE CHANGED EVERYTHING.
HE DELIVERED HISTORIC FUNDING TO
SBCU AND HE GUARANTEED IT FOR 
TEN YEARS, SOMETHING NEVER 
HAPPENED TO THE HISTORY OF THIS 
COUNTRY.
THAT GAVE SBCUs STABILITY AND 
THE CHANCE TO GROW AND PRODUCE 
THE NEXT GENERATION OF BLACK 
LEADERS.
YES, THAT'S RIGHT, DONALD TRUMP 
DID THAT.
HE'S ALSO SUPPORTED SCHOOL 
CHOICE OF NO MATTER THEIR RACE 
OR ZIP CODE IS LEFT BEHIND.
>> THE PRESIDENT BUILT THE MOST 
INCLUSIVE ECONOMY EVER WITH 
RECORD LOW AFRICAN-AMERICANS.
HE PUT THE INTERESTS OF AMERICA 
WORKERS AND ESPECIALLY BLACK 
WORKERS FIRST.
THAT'S RIGHT, DONALD TRUMP, DID 
THAT.
HE DELIVERED CRIMINAL JUSTICE 
REFORM.
HE ENDED ONCE AND FOR ALL THE 
POLICY OF INCARCERATION OF BLACK
PEOPLE WHICH DECIMATED OUR 
COMMUNITIES CAUSED BY NO OTHER 
THAN JOE BIDEN.
DEMOCRATS WOULD NOT DO IT.
OBAMA DID NOT WANT TO DO IT AND 
JOE BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS 
WOULD NOT DO IT.
DONALD TRUMP DID IT.
HE'S WORKING EVERYDAY TO MAKE 
THE COMMUNITY SAFER.
AS A FORMER EXECUTIVE OF THE 
DeKALB COUNTY, GEORGIA, I 
DIRECTED ONE OF THE LARGEST 
PUBLIC SAFETY DEPARTMENT IF THE 
SOUTHEAST.
I HAVE SEEN TRAGIC SHOOTINGS ON 
BOTH SIDES.
OFFICERS KILLING CITIZENS AND 
CITIZENS KILLING OFFICERS IN THE
LINE OF DUTY.
OUR FELLOW CITIZENS, WE LIVE IN 
OUR COUNTRY, THEY ARE FAMILIES 
AND THEY LIVE IN OUR 
COMMUNITIES.
DEMOCRATS HAVE TURNED THEIR 
BACKS.
THEY CALL IT DEFUNDING.
IT IS A DANGER TO OUR CITIES, 
NEIGHBORHOODS AND OUR CHILDREN.
IS IT IRONIC THAT DEMOCRATS HAVE
PERSONAL POLITICIANS TO PROTECT 
THEM.
WHY DON'T THEY FORGO THEIR 
SECURITY AND REPLACE THEM WITH 
SOCIAL WORKERS ESPECIALLY THAT'S
WHAT THEY WANT FROM YOU AND ME.
WE NEED MORE FUNDING AND NOT 
LESS.
AND FOR MORE DEESCALATION AND 
USE OF FORCE TRAINING.
THESE ARE THE COMMON SENSE 
SOLUTIONS THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP 
SUPPORTS, SINCERE POLICE REFORM.
THAT'S RIGHT.
DONALD TRUMP DID THAT, TOO.
EDUCATION, JOBS, SAFETY, 
SECURITY, ON ISSUE AFTER ISSUE 
AND JUST AS SINGLE TERM HE 
DESTROYED NEGATIVE FORCES THAT 
HAVE VICTIMIZED THE BLACK 
COMMUNITY FOR DECADES.
HE GAVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO 
RISE.
WHEN I MADE THE PUBLIC 
ANNOUNCEMENT OF MY SUPPORT FOR 
PRESIDENT TRUMP, ALL HELL BROKE 
LOOSE, I WAS THREATEN AND CALLED
FOR AN EMBARRASSMENT.
UNFORTUNATELY, THAT'S CONSISTENT
WITH THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND 
HOW THEY VIEW INDEPENDENT 
THINKING OF BLACK MEN AND WOMEN.
I AM HERE TO TELL YOU BLACK 
VOICES ARE BECOMING MORE AWOKE 
AND LOUDER THAN EVER.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS BECOME 
AFFECTED WITH THE PANDEMIC AND 
IN TOLERANCE AND BIGOTRY AND 
SOCIALISM AND ANTI-LAW 
ENFORCEMENT BIAS AND DANGEROUS 
POLICIES FOR PEOPLE WHO ATTACK 
OTHERS AND DESTROY OUR 
PROPERTIES AND TERRORIZING OUR 
OWN COMMUNITY.
THAT'S WHAT THIS ELECTION IS ALL
ABOUT.
THAT'S WHY RIGHT NOW MORE THAN 
EVER AMERICA NEEDS DONALD TRUMP 
FOR ANOTHER FOUR YEARS.
GOD BLESS YOU AND VOTE DONALD 
TRUMP.
>>> 2018, A GUNMAN WALKED INTO 
PARKLAND ELEMENTARY AND CHANGED 
MY LIFE FOREVER.
MY NAME IS ANDREW POLLACK.
ONE OF THE BEAUTIFUL GIRL THAT 
WALKED THE HALL THAT DAY WAS MY 
BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER.
IN THE HALLWAY OF THE THIRD 
FLOOR, THE GUNMAN SAW HER AND 
SHOT HER DOWN THE HALLWAY AND 
HITTING HER FOUR TIMES.
SHE CRAWLED OVER TO ANOTHER 
STUDENT, A FRESHMAN GIRL TO 
PROTECT HER.
THE GUNMAN SHOT MY DAUGHTER FIVE
MORE TIMES, KILLING HER AND THE 
GIRL SHE WAS SHIELDING.
SHE HAD A WHOLE LIFE AHEAD OF 
HER.
IN THAT LIFE SHE COULD HAVE DONE
ANYTHING AND BEEN ANYTHING.
SO MANY MOMENTS I WAITED SO LONG
WOULD TAKE IT FROM ME.
I DIDN'T GET TO DROP HER OFF AT 
COLLEGE OR WALK HER DOWN THE 
ISLE.
EVERY MOMENT WAS TAKEN FROM HER 
AND FOR WHAT?
I NEVER WANTED TO MEET THE 
PRESIDENT LIKE THIS BUT I DID.
I WAS INVITED TO THE WHITE 
HOUSE.
THE TRUTH IS I HAVE JUST BURIED 
MY DAUGHTER AND I WAS NOT 
INTERESTED IN PUBLIC EVENTS LIKE
A PHOTO-OP.
THE PRESIDENT WANTED TO MEET ME 
PERSONALLY.
THEY SAID OF COURSE THAT WAS HIS
PLAN.
AT THE WHITE HOUSE, MY FAMILY 
AND I SAT WITH THE PRESIDENT IN 
THE OVAL OFFICE AND TALKED ABOUT
MEADOW.
I TOLD THEM WHAT WE KNEW.
I TOLD HIM THAT HIS 
ADMINISTRATION NEEDED TO TAKE A 
CLOSER LOOK AT WHAT WENT WRONG 
AND WHY.
I GOT TO SEE WHO PRESIDENT TRUMP
REALLY IS.
HE IS A GOOD MAN AND HE LISTENS.
HE CUTS THROUGH THE B.S.
THE PRESIDENT DID WHAT HE SAID 
HE WOULD DO.
HE TOOK ACTION.
HE FORMED A SCHOOL SAFETY 
COMMISSION TO MAKE SCHOOLS 
SAFER.
I BET YOU NEVER HEARD ABOUT 
THAT.
INSTEAD, THE MEDIA TURNED BACK 
AND WENT TO A COORDINATED ATTACK
ON PRESIDENT TRUMP.
REPUBLICANS AND OUR SECOND 
AMENDMENT.
WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP ASKED ME 
AND OTHER PARENTS OF THE 
CHILDREN THAT WERE MURDERED IN 
SCHOOL SHOOTINGS TO JOIN HIM, 
THE MEDIA'S FIRST QUESTION WAS 
NOT ABOUT PROTECTING KIDS.
SHOCKINGLY, THEY ASKED ABOUT THE
GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN.
PRESIDENT TRUMP TURNED TO ME, 
CAN YOU BELIEVE THESE PEOPLE?
WE ARE TRYING TO TALK ABOUT 
SCHOOL SAFETY.
GUN CONTROL DID NOT FAIL MY 
DAUGHTER, PEOPLE DID.
THE GUNMAN THREATENED TO SHOOT 
UP THE SCHOOL.
EVERY RED FLAG YOU COULD 
IMAGINE.
THE SCHOOL DID NOT JUST MISSED 
THESE RED FLAGS, THEY IGNORED 
THEM.
FAR LEFT DEMOCRATS MADE THE 
SHOOTING POSSIBLE.
THEY IMPLEMENTED SOMETHING THEY 
CALLED RESTORATIVE JUSTICE.
THIS POLICY TEACHES STUDENTS 
FAILURES PUT KIDS AND TEACHERS 
AT RISK AND MAKE SHOOTING 
LIKELY.
THE OBAMA/BIDEN ADMINISTRATION 
TOOK POLICIES AND FORCED THEM IN
TO SCHOOLS ACROSS AMERICA.
WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP SENT 
OBAMA'S GUIDANCE, HE PUT AN END 
TO THAT.
THAT MEANT THE WORLD TO ME.
IT IS HARD TO TELL HOW MUCH MR. 
BIDEN UNDERSTANDS WHAT HAPPENED 
AT PARKLAND.
HE DOES NOT SEEM TO KNOW WHEN 
THE SHOOTING HAPPENED.
HE SAID HE WAS VICE PRESIDENT 
WHEN IT HAPPENED BUT HE WAS NOT.
MR. BIDEN MAY NOT KNOW WHEN MY 
DAUGHTER WAS MURDERED BUT I DO.
FEBRUARY 14, 2018.
MR. BIDEN MAY NOT KNOW WHO'S 
VICE PRESIDENT THAT DAY BUT I 
DO.
IT WAS NOT JOE BIDEN, IT WAS 
MIKE PENCE.
I KNOW WHO THE PRESIDENT WAS, 
TOO.
IT WAS NOT BARACK OBAMA, IT WAS 
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND HE 
TOOK ACTION.
I TRULY BELIEVE THE SAFETY OF 
OUR KIDS DEPEND ON WHETHER THIS 
MAN IS REELECTED.
I HOPE YOU WILL JOIN ME AND MAKE
IT HAPPEN.
MR. PRESIDENT, MYSELF AND 
MILLIONS OF AMERICANS APPRECIATE
YOU AND LOVE YOU.
GOD BLESS AMERICA AND GOD BLESS 
THE PRESIDENT, THANK YOU.
>>> PROTESTS AT ST. LOUIS TURNED
VIOLENT.
>> HE AND HIS FAMILY HAVE BEEN 
THREATENED BY VIOLENT.
>> A SEARCH WARRANT.
>> A HUSBAND AND WIFE RETURNING 
CHARGES.
>> GOOD EVENING AMERICA.
WE ARE SPEAKING HERE TONIGHT 
FROM ST. LOUIS MISSOURI.
WE ARE THE MCCLOSKEYS.
>> THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS WILL 
OFFER YOU FREE ADVISE ON HOW TO 
USE IT.
AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT WE 
EXPERIENCED.
WHAT YOU SAW WHAT HAPPENED TO US
COULD HAPPEN TO ANY OF YOU.
THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO SPEAK TO 
YOU ABOUT TONIGHT.
>> THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.
WHETHER DEFUNDING OF POLICE OR 
ENDING CASH BAILS AND BACK OUT 
ON THE STREETS THE SAME DAY TO 
RIDE AGAIN.
IT SEEMS THAT THE DEMOCRATS NO 
LONGER VIEW THE GOVERNMENT'S JOB
AS PROTECTING OUR CITIZENS FROM 
CRIMINALS BUT RATHER PROTECTING 
CRIMINALS ON OUR CITIZENS.
NOT A SINGLE PERSON WAS CHARGED 
WITH A CRIME.
YOU KNOW WHO WAS?
WE WERE.
THEY ACTUALLY CHARGED US WITH 
FELOIES FOR DARING TO DEFEND 
OUR HOME.
ON TOP OF THAT CONSERVATIVES.
S THE LIBERAL ACTIVISTS STOOD 
OUTSIDE OUR HOME WITH A BULL 
HORN SCREAMING YOU CAN'T STOP 
THE REVELATION.
JUST WEEKS LATER THAT SAME 
ACTIVIST, ONE THAT DEMOCRAT 
NOMINATION TO HOLD THE U.S. AND 
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IN THE 
CITY OF ST. LOUIS, THAT'S THE 
SAME AS THE GENERAL ELECTION.
IT IS NOW GOING TO BE THE 
CONGRESSWOMAN FROM THE FIRST 
DISTRICT OF MISSOURI.
THESE RADICALS ARE NOT CONTEMPT 
WITH MARCHING IN THE STREETS.
THEY WANT TO WALK THE HALLS OF 
CONGRESS AND THEY WANT TO TAKE 
OVER, THEY WANT POWER.
THIS IS JOE BIDEN'S PARTY.
THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN 
CHARGE OF THE FUTURE OF YOUR 
CHILDREN.
>> THEY ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH 
SPREADING THE CHAOS AND VIOLENCE
INTO OUR COMMUNITY.
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP SMARTLY ENDED
THIS GOVERNMENT OVER REACH.
JOE BIDEN WANTS TO BRING IT 
BACK.
THESE ARE THE POLICIES THAT ARE 
COMING TO A NEIGHBORHOOD NEAR 
YOU.
MAKE NO MISTAKE NO MATTER WHERE 
YOU LIVE.
YOUR FAMILY IS NOT SAFE IN THE 
RADICAL DEMOCRATS OF AMERICA.
>> IF YOU STAND UP FOR YOURSELF,
THE MOB WILL TRY TO DESTROY YOU.
YOU SEE US ON YOUR TV SCREEN.
YOU KNOW THAT WE ARE NOT THE 
KIND OF PEOPLE THAT BACKED DOWN.
THANKFULLY NEITHER AS DONALD 
TRUMP.
HE'LL PROTECT HOMES AND 
FAMILIES.
MORE THAN THAT, TRUMP'S VISION 
FOR AMERICA IS A COUNTRY WHERE 
YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO WORK 
HARD AND BUILD A LIFE YOU DREAM 
OF WITH A JOB YOU LOVE WHETHER 
YOUR CHILDREN BEING
WHERE YOUR FAMILY CAN PLAY IN 
THE BACKYARD WITHOUT FEAR OR 
GOING TO CHURCH WITHOUT SHAME 
AND EXPRESS YOUR RELIEVES 
WITHOUT RETRIBUTION.
TRUMP BROUGHT US THE GREATEST 
ECONOMY OUR COUNTRY EVER SEEN.
DEMOCRATS BROUGHT US NOTHING.
>> THAT'S WHAT IS AT STAKE IN 
THIS ELECTION, THAT'S WHY WE 
MUST REELECT DONALD TRUMP.
GOD BLESS YOU AND GOD BLESS THE 
PRESIDENT AND GOD BLESS THE 
UNITED STATES.
 
UNITED STATES.
>> I AM HERE TO HELP US DIGEST 
SOME OF THE FALSE COMMENTS THEY 
SAID THERE.
CLAIRE, WHAT DID YOU THINK?
>> OKAY, I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO 
START.
 MISSOURI YOU CAN SIT ON YOUR 
FRONT PORCH WITH A GUN AND WATCH
THE PARADE GO BY.
THAT'S PERFECTLY LEGAL.
IF YOU GET OFF YOUR PORCH AND 
YOU GO DOWN AND POINTING PEOPLE 
AT THE PARADE, THAT'S CALLED 
BRANDISING.
THE JURY'S QUESTION WILL BE WAS 
THEIR FEAR REASONABLE?
THE FACTS ARE INDISPUTE BUT WE 
KNOW THEY BROUGHT THE GUNS OUT 
AND THE PEOPLE WERE NOT ON THEIR
PROPERTY.
THEY WERE IN THE STREETS AND ON 
THE SIDEWALKS.
WE KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT A 
PRIVATE STREET BECAUSE YOU CAN 
DRIVE-IN ON THESE STREETS ANY 
TIME YOU WANT.
THEY EVEN DESTROY BEHIVES.
THAT'S THE KIND OF GUY THESE 
FOLKS ARE.
THAT'S THE MCCLOSKEYS.
>> IS THERE A DIFFERENCE OF WHAT
THEY EXPLAIN ABOUT THEIR CASE 
AND THEIR LAWYER MAINTAINING IT?
>> THEY HAVE NOT BEEN TO COURT.
THEY BRANDISH THE GUN WHEN THEY 
WERE NOT IN REASONABLE FEAR.
THERE WERE A LOT OF BLACK PEOPLE
WALKING DOWN THEIR STREETS.
THEY KNEW THEY WERE GOING TO THE
MAYOR'S HOUSE.
HE WAS ALL OVER THE NEWS THAT 
THIS GROUP IS GOING TO BE 
PROTESTING THE MAYOR.
THIS WAS NOT A BIG SURPRISE THAT
THESE PROTESTERS WERE IN THEIR 
NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO THE ISSUE REALLY IS WILL A 
JURY AGREE IF THEY DECIDE TO 
CONTEST THIS, WILL THE JURY 
AGREE IF THEY ARE IN REASONABLE 
FEAR FROM PEACEFUL PROTESTERS 
WALKING DOWN THE STREETS.
>> SENATOR McCASKILL.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU, I IMAGINE WE'LL BE
COMING BACK TO YOU OVER THE 
COURSE OF THE EVENING.
WE ARE NOT TRYING TO DO LIVE 
ANALYSIS AS IT ROLLS OUT.
WE DO FEEL THE RESPONSIBILITY WE
ARE NOT BROADCASTING THINGS THAT
ARE FALSE AND DANGEROUSLY FALSE.
TO THAT END, WE WANT TO BRING IN
OUR COLLEAGUES, THE HOST OF 
"AMERICA PODCAST."
THEY WANT TO ABOLISH THE SUBURBS
ALL TOGETHER.
THE IDEA THAT THE DEMOCRATS 
PARTY WANTS TO ABOLISH THE 
PARTY.
WHAT'S THE REACTION AND WHAT'S 
THE REALITY?
>> AS THE McCLOSKEYS -- WE KNOW 
WITH THE COVENANTS AND ALL THESE
THINGS THEY WERE PUT IN PLACE TO
MAKE SURE TO MAINTAIN 
SEGREGATION.
THE ACCUSATION IS JOE BIDEN AND 
DEMOCRATS WILL COME IN AND ONCE 
AGAIN DESEGREGATE IN SEPTEMBER.
I WANT TO GO BACK TO ONE OTHER 
THING THEY MENTIONED, THEY 
PAINTED PICTURES OF DEMOCRATS 
LIKE - BECAUSE THEY WERE 
CONVICTED OF A FELONY, THEY 
WOULD HAVE BEEN IN ORDER TO 
SURRENDER FOR ARREST.
AS FOR EVERYTHING WE HEARD, I 
PAINT THIS UTOPIAN PICTURE OF 
DEMOCRATS HOPING TO -- THE END 
OF WHITE DREAMS AND USHERING 
BLACK AND BROWN AND END THE 
DREAM AS WE KNOW IT AND THE MOST
CYNICAL AMONG US IS OF COURSE 
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION AND THE
HISTORY, WE HAVE SPEAKERS UNDER 
INDICTMENT IN THE OPENING NIGHT 
OF THE CONVENTION.
THIS IS A DIFFERENT WORLD WE 
LIVE IN. WORLD WE LIVE IN. 
>> I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A LONG 
CONVERSATION WITH YOU WHERE 
BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO 
LIVE.
BUT I'M GOING TO MOVE ON AND GO 
BACK TO THE PRESENTATION ON 
HBCUs.
I REMEMBER YOU AND YOUR GOOD 
FRIEND DID A WHOLE PIECE ON 
THIS.
THIS CLAIM THAT DONALD TRUMP 
RESCUED HBCUs MADE A LOT.
IT MADE A TARGET TO BLACK 
VOTERS.
WALK US THROUGH THE REALITY OF 
THAT.
I KNOW THERE IS A PIECE OF 
LEGISLATION CALLED THE FUTURES 
ACT WHICH PASSED AND DONALD 
TRUMP SIGNED IT IN DECEMBER OF 
2019.
BUT DONALD TRUMP DIDN'T WRITE 
IT.
HE SIGNED IT.
IT WAS A BIPARTISAN BILL, 
DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS.
BUT DESPITE THE FUTURES ACT 
WHICH GAVE STEM TO HBCU, WHAT 
HAS DONALD TRUMP DONE FOR HBCUs 
SPECIFICALLY THAT MAKES HIM THE 
SAVIOR IN YOUR MIND. 
>> THERE HASN'T BEEN MUCH.
THERE HAS LONG BEEN THIS 
RELATIONSHIP FROM THE BEGINNING 
OF THIS RECONSTRUCTIVE ERA WHERE
THEY WERE ESTABLISHED, THIS 
RELATIONSHIP.
HOWARD UNIVERSITY HAS MORE OF A 
BINDING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE 
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THAN MANY 
OTHERS.
BUT THERE ISN'T MUCH SPECIAL.
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT HIS KIND OF
SUPPORT AND THEN THE FIRST STEP 
ACT WHICH WAS ACTUALLY 
ENACTED -- THE OBAMA 
ADMINISTRATION ATTEMPTED TO GET 
IT THROUGH BUT IT WAS BLOCKED BY
CONGRESS.
THAT'S THE GO-TO FAVORITE FROM 
MANY BLACK REPUBLICANS 
ESPECIALLY.
BUT MANY OTHERS WHO SAY HERE HE 
IS RESCUING BLACK PEOPLE.
HE'S NOT THE ENEMY WHEN IN FACT 
THERE ISN'T ANYTHING NECESSARILY
REMARKABLE ABOUT HIS RECORD WITH
HBCUs IN PARTICULAR. 
>> YOU MADE THIS STATEMENT OVER 
AND OVER AGAIN THAT BEFORE HE 
SIGNED THAT BILL, THE FUTURES 
ACT, HBCUs WERE GOING TO GO OUT 
OF BUSINESS.
IS IT TRUE THAT HBCUs WOULD HAVE
GONE LITERALLY OUT OF BUSINESS 
IF IT WEREN'T FOR DONALD TRUMP?
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT HE'S 
CLAIMING. 
>> THAT IS WITHOUT QUESTION NOT 
TRUE.
BUT WITH A BIT OF A CAVEAT.
ALL HBCUs ARE NOT ON EQUAL 
FUNDING THEY GET.
THERE HAS BEEN SOME WHO HAVE 
LONG STRUGGLED, REALLY STORIED 
INSTITUTIONS WHO HAVE BEEN 
STRUGGLED.
BUT THE IDEA THAT WITHOUT THE 
SIGNING OF THE SIGNATURE ON THAT
PAIN THEIR THE COLLAPSE OF THESE
STORIED INSTITUTIONS LIKE HOWARD
AND SPELLMAN AND MY WIFE'S 
SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY, MOOREHOUSE 
WOULD HAVE GONE CRUMBLING INTO 
THE EITHER IS JUST A FALSITY. 
>> WE'RE DIPPING IN AND OUT OF 
COVERAGE TONIGHT WHEN THINGS ARE
BEING SAID THAT AREN'T FACTUALLY
BACKED UP AND THAT POTENTIALLY 
HAVE MAJOR IMPLICATIONS.
WE'RE GOING TO GET BACK NOW.
THE NUMBER THREE REPUBLICAN IN 
THE HOUSE, STEVE SCALISE IS 
SPEAKING.
LET'S LISTEN. 
>> WE WANT AN AMERICA TO LEAVE 
TO OUR CHILDREN AND 
GRANDCHILDREN.
JOE BIDEN HAS MADE A CAREER IN 
WASHINGTON.
FOR 47 YEARS.
PROMISING THINGS HE'S NEVER 
DELIVERED.
IN THREE SHORT YEARS, PRESIDENT 
TRUMP DELIVERED HUGE WINS FOR 
FAMILIES.
WHILE JOE BIDEN MADE HOLLOW 
PROMISES, DONALD TRUMP TOOK 
ACTION AND DELIVERED CRIMINAL 
JUSTICE REFORM.
JOE BIDEN CLAIMS TO CARE ABOUT 
THE WORKING MAN.
BUT MILLIONS OF GOOD 
MANUFACTURING JOBS WERE SHIPPED 
OVERSEAS DURING THE OBAMA-BIDEN 
YEARS TO COUNTRIES LIKE CHINA.
DONALD TRUMP BROUGHT THOSE BACK.
I HAVE SEEN HOW DEEPLY DONALD 
TRUMP CARES ABOUT REBUILDING OUR
MIDDLE CLASS.
DONALD TRUMP PROMISED TO GIVE 
THEM A REAL SHOT AT THE AMERICAN
DREAM.
AND AGAIN HE DELIVERED.
THE LOWEST UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN 
OVER 50 YEARS.
WOMEN CREATING SMALL BUSINESSES 
AT RECORD PACE.
WAGES RISING.
THE FASTEST, BY THE WAY, FOR 
LOWEST INCOME LEVELS.
WHAT CAN JOE BIDEN SAY TO THAT?
WHAT HAS JOE BIDEN DONE IN HIS 
47 YEARS IN WASHINGTON THAT CAN 
COMPARE TO THAT?
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS DELIVERED 
FOR THE HARD WORKING PEOPLE OF 
THIS GREAT NATION.
IT'S GOING TO TAKE THAT KIND OF 
BOLD LEADERSHIP TO GET US OUT OF
THIS COVID CRISIS.
AFTER PRESIDENT TRUMP SAVED 
LIVES FROM SHUTTING DOWN FLIGHTS
FROM CHINA AND EUROPE, HE'S 
FOCUSSING THE FULL WEIGHT OF THE
GOVERNMENT ON A REVOLUTIONARY 
PLAN TO CURE THIS VIRUS BY 
EMPOWERING SCIENTISTS TO CREATE 
THIS HAVING SEEN.
THIS IS VISIONARY LEADERSHIP AND
ACTION IN A TIME WHEN WE CAN'T 
AFFORD ANOTHER 47 YEARS OF 
HALLOW PROMISES.
AMERICA HAS BEEN THROUGH TOUGH 
TIMES BEFORE.
WHO BETTER TO LEAD US OUT OF 
THESE TIMES THAN THE PRESIDENT 
WHO ALREADY BUILT THE STRONGER 
ECONOMY OUR COUNTRY HAS EVER 
SEEN?
DONALD TRUMP DID IT BEFORE.
DONALD TRUMP WILL DELIVER FOR US
AGAIN.
GOD BLESS YOU.
AND GOD BLESS THESE UNITED 
STATES OF AMERICA.

>>> I'M SHAWN PARNELL, AND IT IS
AN HONOR TO BE HERE.
IN 2006, THE ARMY SENT ME TO 
AFGHANISTAN AS A YOUNG PLATOON 
LEADER, PLACED IN COMMAND OF 
AMERICANS FROM EVERY CORNER OF 
OUR PLANET.
OUR PLATOON REFLECTED THE 
DIVERSITY OF OUR NATION, EVERY 
RACE, CREED AND RELIGION.
WE WERE BOUND TOGETHER AS 
BROTHERS FROM THE SAME AMERICAN 
FAMILY.
OUR PLATOON WAS ATTACKED JUST 
AFTER DAWN, OUTNUMBERED 10-1, WE
ENDURED MORTAR AND MACHINE FIRE 
AS HUNDREDS OF TALIBAN ATTACKED 
US FROM BOTH SIDES.
WE HAD 24 MEN THAT DAY.
WAVE AFTER WAVE OF TALIBAN 
ADVANCE UP THE HEAL, I WAS 
WOUNDED.
NEARLY ALL OF US WERE WOUNDED, 
BUT THE ENEMY KEPT COMING.
WE FOUND TO OUR LAST ROUNDS OF 
AMMUNITION AND WHEN IT WAS OVER,
WE HELD THE HILL.
IN THE FACE OF DEATH, I SAW 
ORDINARY AMERICANS BECOME 
HEROES.
IN OUR DARKEST HOUR, WHEN OUR 
SURVIVAL DEPENDED ON EACH OTHER,
MY MEN AND I LEARNED AN 
IMPORTANT LESSON: WE ALL BLEED 
RED.
OUR DIFFERENCES DID NOT DEFINE 
US.
UNITED WE WERE UNBEATABLE.
AFTER 485 DAYS OF COMBAT I CAME 
HOME EAGER TO ENJOY THE FREEDOMS
I RISKED MY LIFE TO DEPEND.
BUT I WATCHED WITH ALARM AS THE 
PARTY OF MY GRANDFATHER, A 
LIFELONG UNION DEMOCRAT, TURNED 
AGAINST THE VERY PEOPLE IT 
PROFESSED TO REPRESENT.
I WATCHED AS JOE BIDEN SPIT 
VEMON AT AN AUTO WORKER.
WHERE DEMOCRATS ONCE STOOD FOR 
HARD WORKING, LAW-ABIDING 
AMERICANS WHO DISPLAYED OUR FLAG
WITH PRIDE, THIS NEW DEMOCRAT 
PARTY CONSIDERS THESE PEOPLE 
UNEDUCATED RACISTS CLINGING TO 
GUNS.
THE PARTY OF HARRY TRUMAN BECAME
THE PARTY OF HEDGE FUND 
MANAGERS, HOLLYWOOD CELEBRICELE,
ALL WITH CONTEMPT FOR AMERICA.
I DO NOT SEE A PARTY THAT WANTS 
YOU TO PURSUE YOUR DREAMS.
I SEE A DEMOCRAT PARTY THAT 
WANTS TO DICTATE WHAT THOSE 
DREAMS ARE.
I DON'T SEE A PARTY THAT WANTS 
YOU TO BE FREE.
I SEE A PARTY THAT WANTS TO 
CHAIN YOU TO CONFORMITY.
I SWORE AN OATH TO DEFEND MY 
COUNTRY AND ITS CONSTITUTION.
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS SWORN TO DO 
THE SAME.
THAT'S WHY HE'S ADVANCED 
FREEDOM, DESPITE SAVAGE 
POLITICAL ATTACKS TO OVERCOME 
THE AGENDA OF THE RADICAL LEFT.
PRESIDENT TRUMP UNLEASHED THE 
ECONOMIC MIGHT OF THIS NATION 
LIKE NO OTHER IN HISTORY.
HE TARTED RISING FAMILIES, 
BROUGHT US ENERGY INDEPENDENCE, 
RECLAIMED JOBS FROM OVERSEAS 
THAT DEMOCRATS SAID WOULD NEVER 
RETURN.
HE HAS FIERCELY DEFENDED THE 
FIRST AND SECOND AMENDMENT.
THAT IS JUST A START.
WITH FOUR MORE YEARS, IMAGINE 
WHAT WE CAN ACHIEVE BY SIMPLY 
WORKING WITH OUR PRESIDENT.
I BELIEVE IN OUR PRESIDENT'S 
VISION FOR THE FUTURE.
I STAND HERE TONIGHT CALLING ON 
ALL AMERICANS TO JOIN US.
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU LOOK 
LIKE, WHO YOU LOVE, HOW YOU 
WORSHIP, YOUR GENDER OR YOUR 
JOB.
IF YOU ARE A TRADITIONAL 
DEMOCRAT WHO HAS BECOME 
DISILLUSIONED WITH HOW RADICAL 
YOUR PARTY HAS BECOME, THEN 
STAND WITH US.
YOU ARE MOST WELCOME.
AMERICA NEEDS ALL HER PATRIOTS 
TO RUSH TO HER DEFENSE.
MY FELLOW AMERICANS, I PROMISE 
YOU THIS.
IN OUR TENT, YOU ARE FREE.
FREE TO SPEAK THE TRUTH, CHOOSE 
YOUR JOURNEY, DEFINE YOUR LIFE.
YOU HAVE THE POWER TO GO AS FAR 
AS YOU AIM, THEN AIM HIGHER AND 
KEEP GOING BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT 
AMERICANS DO.
WE ARE IDEALISTS AND DREAMERS, 
LOVERS OF ADVENTURE.
WE'RE RUGGED AND INDEPENDENT.
WE DON'T MAKE EXCUSES.
WE MAKE THE IMPOSSIBLE A 
REALITY.
THINK ABOUT IT.
IN A CENTURY, WE WENT FROM 
GROUND-BOUND DREAMERS GAZING TO 
THE STARS TO DOERS WHO CREATED 
THE MEANS TO REACH THEM.
THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO STAND ON
THE SIDELINES.
IF YOU LOVE OUR COUNTRY AS WE 
DO, AS OUR PRESIDENT DOES, JOIN 
THE CHORUS OF PATRIOT VOICES 
THAT WILL PRESERVE THIS

>> I WAS HELD IN TURKEY FOR TWO 
YEARS AND YOU TOOK UNPRECEDENTED
STEPS, ACTUALLY, TO SECURE MY 
RELEASE AND YOUR ADMINISTRATION 
REALLY FOUGHT FOR ME.
I THINK IF YOU HADN'T DONE THAT,
I MAY STILL BE IN TURKEY.
SO I'M VERY GRATEFUL. 
>> THEY HAD YOU THERE FOR 28 
YEARS.
THEY HAD YOU SCHEDULED FOR A 
LONG TIME.
WE HAD TO GET YOU BACK. 
>> YES. 
>> I HAVE TO SAY THAT TO ME 
PRESIDENT ERDUWAN WAS VERY GOOD.
YOU WERE A VERY INNOCENT PERSON,
AND HE ULTIMATELY, AFTER WE HAD 
A FEW CONVERSATIONS, HE AGREED.
SO WE APPRECIATE THAT AND WE 
APPRECIATE THE PEOPLE OF TURKEY 
AND YOU STILL APPRECIATE THE 
PEOPLE OF TURKEY, I UNDERSTAND, 
RIGHT. 
>> WE LOVE THE TURKISH PEOPLE. 
>> THAT'S GREAT.
IT IS GREAT TO HAVE YOU BACK, 
ANDREW.
THANK YOU. 
>> PLEASE. 
>> MR. PRESIDENT, THANK YOU FOR 
HAVING ME.
MY NAME IS SAM GOODMAN.
I WAS HELD IN SYRIA FOR 63 DAYS.
I'M AS GRATEFUL AS I HAVE EVER 
BEEN FOR ANYTHING TO BE HOME 
SAFELY.
THANK YOU FOR THE INVITATION AND
OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE, 
PARTICULARLY PASTOR O'BRIAN WAS 
INCREDIBLY SUPPORTIVE AND 
HELPFUL TO MY FAMILY AND CAN'T 
SAY ENOUGH NICE THINGS FOR HIM.
THANK YOU FOR PROMOTING HIM AND 
JUST REALLY HAPPY TO BE HERE. 
>> WE GOT YOUR BACK. 
>> YOU GOT MY BACK. 
>> WE GOT YOU ALL BACK.
WE HAVE SOME MORE WE'RE WORKING 
ON RIGHT NOW TO GET BACK. 
>> MY NAME IS MIKE.
I DO ONCE AGAIN -- IT'S AN HONOR
TO BE HERE, HONOR TO MEET YOU IN
PERSON.
BASICALLY WHAT HAD HAPPENED WITH
ME I WENT AND TRAVELED OVER TO 
THE COUNTRY IRAN.
TURNED OUT IT WAS A MAJOR TRAP 
AND I WAS APPREHENDED THERE.
I WENT THROUGH A LOT IN THEIR 
INJUSTICE SYSTEM.
IRAN IS AN OPPRESSIVE 
EXTORTIONIST, TERRORIST REGIME.
YOU WERE ABLE TO GET ME OUT OF 
THAT PRISON IN RECORD TIME.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
>> THE HONOR IS ALL MINE. 
>> PLEASE. 
>> MY NAME IS JOSH AND THIS IS 
MY WIFE TAMMY.
WE WERE HELD HOSTAGE IN 
VENEZUELA FOR TWO YEARS. 
>> I KNOW VERY WELL. 
>> YOU HELPED US GET OUT.
IT WAS A GREAT HONOR TO BE ABLE 
TO MEET YOU RIGHT WHEN WE GOT 
BACK.
I REMEMBER A LOT OF PEOPLE ASKED
ME WHAT WAS IT LIKE MEETING 
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
I WAS BLOWN AWAY.
I'M SHAKING THE HAND OF THE 
PRESIDENT IN THE OVAL OFFICE.
I DON'T REALLY REMEMBER A WHOLE 
LOT OF THAT.
IT IS NICE TO MEET YOU AGAIN.
IT'S BEEN GREAT TO BE BACK 
HELPING PEOPLE THROUGH 
SITUATIONS THAT THEY HAVE GONE 
THROUGH AND NOW WE CAN START OUR
FAMILY. 
>> THE GREAT PEOPLE OF UTAH 
REALLY WANTED ME TO DO SOMETHING
ABOUT THE TWO OF YOU, AND WE 
WERE ABLE TO DO IT.
AND A LITTLE BIT OF A MIRACLE I 
THINK, FRANKLY. 
>> IT WAS. 
>> BECAUSE THAT WAS A VERY 
HOSTILE PERIOD.
WE APPRECIATE EVERYBODY WORKING 
SO HARD WITH US.
BUT WE WERE ABLE TO GET YOU BOTH
BACK.
AND ARE YOU LIVING IN UTAH NOW, 
I HOPE. 
>> YES. 
>> SAY HELLO TO THE FOLKS IN 
UTAH BECAUSE THEY'RE GREAT 
PEOPLE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
CONGRATULATIONS. 
>> THANK YOU. 
>> PLEASE. 
>> I SPENT AN UNEXTEXTED TRIP 
THERE IN INDIA.
I WAS NOT GOING TO INDIA.
I WAS GOING THROUGH INDIA TO 
NEPAL WHERE I HAVE BEEN WORKING 
FOR THE LAST 18 YEARS.
ON BEHALF OF MY FAMILY AND 
MYSELF, THANK YOU, PRESIDENT 
TRUMP, FOR GETTING US OUT.
YOUR LETTER TO MY WIFE CAME AND 
IT REALLY GAVE HER THE HOPE AND 
THE PEACE.
>> THAT'S GREAT. 
>> FROM THAT TIME FORWARD AS 
MORE PEOPLE GOT INVOLVED, 
ESPECIALLY THE AMBASSADOR THERE 
IN INDIA, THINGS BECAME MORE 
PEACEFUL AND THE HOPE WAS THERE 
FOR THE LAST FOUR MONTHS AND WE 
REALLY COULDN'T WAIT TO GET 
HOME.
THEY PLANNED ON KEEPING ME FOR 
35 YEARS.
THE ORIGINAL CHARGE WAS 3 TO 5 
YEARS AND THAT WAS CLEARED.
THEN THEY CAME UP WITH A NEW 
CHARGE. 
>> INDIA RESPONDED VERY WELL TO 
MY REQUEST, SO WE APPRECIATE. 
>> I THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING 
Y'ALL DID. 
>> WE HAVE A FEW MORE PEOPLE WE 
WANT TO GET BACK.
WE WILL GET THEM BACK.
APPRECIATE IT.
GREAT STORIES.

>> HELLO.
I LIVE IN MIAMI, FLORIDA.
NOT FAR FROM A 90 MILE WIDE BLUE
STREET.
DIVIDES FREEDOM FROM FEAR.
IT DIVIDES THE PAST FROM THE 
FUTURE.
I KNOW ALL ABOUT THE PAST.
I'LL NEVER FORGET MY OWN.
MY FAMILY HAS FLED COMMUNISM 
MORE THAN ONCE.
FIRST MY DAD FROM SPAIN.
THEN FROM CUBA.
BUT MY FAMILY IS DONE RUNNING 
AWAY.
BY THE GRACE OF GOD, I LIVE THE 
AMERICAN DREAM.
THE GREATEST BLESSING I EVER 
HAD.
MY DAD ONLY HAD A SIXTH GRADE 
EDUCATION TOLD ME, DON'T LOSE 
THIS PLACE.
I'M SPEAKING TO YOU TODAY 
BECAUSE MY FAMILY IS DONE 
ABANDONS WHAT WE RIGHTFULLY 
EARNED.
THERE IS NO PLACE TO HIDE.
I'M SPEAKING TO YOU TODAY 
BECAUSE PRESIDENT TRUMP MAY NOT 
ALWAYS BE POLITICALLY CORRECT.
HE'S, IN FACT, A SUCCESSFUL 
BUSINESSMAN, NOT YOUR AVERAGE 
CAREER POLITICIAN.
OUR PRESIDENT IS JUST ANOTHER 
FAMILY MAN, A FRIEND, A MOST 
IMPORTANT OUR ELECTED COMMANDER 
IN CHIEF WHO PUTS AMERICA FIRST.
KEEP IN MIND THE OTHER GUY 
RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT IS MOSTLY 
CONCERNED ABOUT POWER.
YES, YES, POWER FOR THEM, BUT 
NOT FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL 
AMERICANS.
I'M SPEAKING TO YOU TODAY 
BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE LIKE 
THIS BEFORE.
I HAVE SEEN MOVEMENTS LIKE THIS 
BEFORE.
I'VE SEEN IDEAS LIKE THIS 
BEFORE.
AND I AM HERE TO TELL YOU, YOU 
CANNOT LET THEM TAKE OVER OUR 
COUNTRY.
I HEARD THE PROMISES OF FIDEL 
CASTRO, AND I CAN NEVER FORGET 
ALL THOSE WHO GREW UP AROUND ME 
WHO LOOKED LIKE ME WHO SUFFER 
AND STARVE AND DIED BECAUSE THEY
BELIEVED THOSE EMPTY PROMISES.
THEY SWALLOW THE COMMUNIST 
POISON PILL.
IF YOU HAVE A CHANCE, GO TO THE 
FREEDOM TOWER IN MIAMI.
STOP AND LISTEN.
YOU CAN STILL HEAR THE SOUNDS OF
THOSE BROKEN PROMISES.
IT IS THE SOUND OF WAVES IN THE 
OCEAN CARRYING FAMILIES CLINGING
TO PIECES OF WOOD, FAMILIES WITH
CHILDREN WHO CAN'T SWIM THAT ARE
WILLING TO RISK EVERYTHING TO 
REACH THIS BLESSED LAND.
IT IS THE SOUND OF TEARS HITTING
THE PAPER OF AN APPLICATION TO 
BECOME AN AMERICAN CITIZEN.
MOST HEARD THE PROMISES.
BUT SOON AFTER THEY EXPERIENCED 
THE REALITY.
LOOK AT THEM.
LISTEN TO THEM.
LEARN THE TRUTH.
THOSE FALSE PROMISES SPREAD THE 
THEWET.
FREE EDUCATION, FREE HEALTH 
CARE, DEFUND THE POLICE?
FIRST A SOCIALIST MORE THAN YOUR
FAMILY AND YOUR COMMUNITY.
THEY DON'T SOUND RADICAL TO MY 
EARS.
THEY SOUND FAMILIAR.
FIDEL CASTRO WAS ASKED IF HE WAS
A COMMUNIST.
HE SAID HE WAS A ROMAN CATHOLIC.
HE KNEW HE HAD TO HIDE THE 
TRUTH.
BUT THE COUNTRY I WAS BORN IN IS
GONE, THOROUGHLY DESTROYED.
WHEN I WATCH THE NEWS IN 
SEATTLE, CHICAGO, PORTLAND AND 
OTHER CITIES, WHEN I SEE THE 
HISTORY BEING RE-WRITTEN, WHEN I
HEAR THE PROMISES I HEAR ECHOES 
OF THE FORMER LIFE I NEVER 
WANTED TO HEAR AGAIN.
I SEE SHADOWS I THOUGHT I HAD 
OUTRUN.
MY PARENTS ONLY WANTED ONE 
PERSON TO DECIDE MY FATE, ME.
NOT SOME PARTY MEMBER, NOT SOME 
GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL, NOT SOME 
BUREAUCRAT.
IN AMERICA, I WOULD DECIDE MY 
OWN FUTURE.
I AM SO GRATEFUL TO AMERICA, THE
PLACE WHERE I WAS ABLE TO BUILD 
MY AMERICAN DREAM THROUGH HARD 
WORK AND DETERMINATION.
PRESIDENT TRUMP KNOWS THAT THE 
AMERICAN STORY WAS WRITTEN BY 
PEOPLE JUST LIKE YOU AND I WHO 
LOVE OUR COUNTRY AND TAKE RISKS 
TO BUILD A FUTURE FOR OUR 
FAMILIES AND NEIGHBORS.
I MAY BE CUBAN-BORN, BUT I AM 
100% AMERICAN.
THIS IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN 
THE WORLD.
AND I SAID THIS BEFORE.
IF I GAVE AWAY EVERYTHING THAT I
HAVE TODAY, IT WOULD NOT EQUAL 
1% OF WHAT I WAS GIVEN WHEN I 
CAME TO THIS GREAT COUNTRY OF 
OURS, THE GIFT OF FREEDOM.
RIGHT NOW IT IS UP TO US TO 
DECIDE OUR FATE AND TO CHOOSE 
FREEDOM OVER OPPRESSION.
PRESIDENT TRUMP, HE'S FIGHTING 
THE FORCES OF ANARCHY AND 
COMMUNISM.
AND I KNOW HE WILL CONTINUE TO 
DO JUST THAT.
AND WHAT ABOUT HIS OPPONENT AND 
THE REST OF THE SWAMP?
I HAVE NO DOUBT THEY WILL HAND 
THE COUNTRY OVER TO THOSE 
DANGEROUS FORCES.
YOU AND I WILL DECIDE.
AND HERE IS WHAT I HAVE DECIDED.
MY DECISION IS VERY EASY.
I CHOOSE PRESIDENT TRUMP BECAUSE
I CHOOSE AMERICA.
I CHOOSE FREEDOM.
AND I STILL HEAR MY DAD.
THERE IS NO OTHER PLACE TO GO.
THANK YOU.
AND MAY THE GOOD LORD BLESS 
AMERICA.

>> EMOTIONAL REMARKS THERE 
TALKING ABOUT HIS FAMILY 
EXPERIENCE.
THEY WILL BE PLAYING A QUICK 
VIDEO HERE THAT DOESN'T HAVE 
CONTENT.
IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO SAY THAT.
BUT WE JUST WANT TO INTERJECT 
ABOUT A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT 
HAVE BEEN SAID OVER THE LAST FEW
MINUTES THAT ARE FACTUALLY 
INACCURATE.
THE CLAIM JUST MADE BY 
CONGRESSMAN STEVE SCALISE THAT 
WE HAVE THE LOWEST UNEMPLOYMENT 
RATE IN OVER 50 YEARS.
WE ACTUALLY HAVE THE HIGHEST 
UNEMPLOYMENT RATE SINCE THE 
GREAT DEPRESSION, WHICH 
EVERYBODY KNOWS, BUT YOU GO WITH
WHAT YOU GOT.
ALSO THE CLAIM FROM 
REPRESENTATIVE STEVE SCALISE.
WE'RE CHECKING THIS NOW BECAUSE 
THIS CLAIM HAS BEEN MADE 
MULTIPLE TIMES THROUGHOUT THE 
COURSE OF THE EVENING.
HE SAID JOE BIDEN HAS EMBRACED 
THE LEFT'S INSANE MISSION TO 
DEFUND THE POLICE.
WHATEVER YOU THINK ABOUT THE 
DEFUND THE POLICE IDEA, JOE 
BIDEN HAS ABSOLUTELY NOT 
EMBRACED IT.
HE HAS NOT ENDORSED IT AT ALL, 
EVEN THOUGH THAT'S BEEN SAID 
MULTIPLE TIMES THIS EVENING.
ALSO ON COVID, REMARKABLE 
REPEATED CLAIMS THAT THE 
PRESIDENT'S CHINA TRAVEL BAN 
SAVED THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS IF
NOT MILLIONS OF LIVES WHEN HE 
PUT THAT IN PLACE.
IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT ABOUT 
40,000 PEOPLE CAME TO THIS 
COUNTRY ON PLANES FROM CHINA IN 
THE TWO MONTHS AFTER HE PUT THAT
BAN IN PLACE.
AGAIN, CONTEXT.
WE'RE GOING TO DIP BACK IN NOW.
FORMER UN AMBASSADOR NIKKI HALEY
IS SPEAKING.
THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW LIVE 
SPEECHES OF THE NIGHT.
>> SHE SERVED, AND SHE CALLED 
OUT HIS DEMOCRATIC OPPONENT, 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 KIRKPATRICK'S 
WORDS ARE JUST AS TRUE AS 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 AMBASSADOR TO THE 
UNITED NATIONS.
THE UN IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF 
HARD.
IT IS A PLACE WHERE DICTATORS, 
MURDERS AND THIEVES ANNOUNCE 
AMERICA AND THEN PUT THEIR HANDS
OUT AND DEMAND THAT WE PAY THEIR
BILLS.
WELL, PRESIDENT TRUMP PUT AN END
TO ALL OF THAT.
WITH HIS LEADERSHIP, WE DID WHAT
BARACK OBAMA AND JOE BIDEN 
REFUSED TO DO.
WE STOOD UP FOR AMERICA AND WE 
STOOD AGAINST OUR ENEMIES.
OBAMA AND BIDEN LET NORTH KOREA 
THREATEN AMERICA.
PRESIDENT TRUMP REJECTED THAT 
WEAKNESS, AND WE PASSED THE 
TOUGHEST SANCTIONS ON NORTH 
KOREA IN HISTORY.
OBAMA AND BIDEN LET IRAN GET 
AWAY WITH MURDER AND LITERALLY 
SENT THEM APLANE FULL OF CASH.
PRESIDENT TRUMP RIPPED UP THE 
DEAL.
OBAMA AND BIDEN LED THE NUCLEAR 
NATIONS TO DENOUNCE OUR FRIEND 
AND ALLY ISRAEL.
PRESIDENT TRUMP MOVED OUR 
EMBASSY TO JERUSALEM AND WHEN 
THE UN 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'S A GOD SEND TO EVERYONE 
WHO WANTS AMERICA TO APOLOGIZE, 
ABSTAIN AND ABANDON OUR VALUES.
DONALD TRUMP TAKES A DIFFERENT 
APPROACH.
HE'S TOUGH ON CHINA.
AND HE TOOK ON ISIS AND WON.
AND HE TELLS THE WORLD WHAT IT 
NEEDS TO HEAR.
AT HOME THE PRESIDENT IS THE 
CLEAR CHOICE ON JOBS AND THE 
ECONOMY.
HE'S MOVED AMERICA FORWARD, 
WHILE JOE BIDEN HAS HELD AMERICA
BACK.
WHEN JOE WAS VP, I WAS GOVERNOR 
OF THE GREAT STATE OF SOUTH 
CAROLINA.
WE HAD A PRETTY GOOD RUN.
MANUFACTURES OF ALL KINDS 
FLOCKED TO OUR STATE OVERSEAS, 
CREATING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF 
AMERICAN JOBS.
PEOPLE WERE REFERRING TO SOUTH 
CAROLINA AS THE BEAST OF THE 
SOUTHEAST, WHICH I LOVED.
EVERYTHING WE DID HAPPENED IN 
SPITE OF JOE BIDEN AND HIS OLD 
BOSS.
WE CUT TAXES.
THEY RAISED THEM.
WE SLASHED RED TAPE.
THEY PILED ON MORE MANDATES.
AND WHEN WE BROUGHT IN GOOD 
PAYING JOBS, BIDEN AND OBAMA 
SUED US.
I FOUGHT BACK AND THEY GAVE UP.
A BIDEN-HARRIS ADMINISTRATION 
WOULD BE MUCH, MUCH WORSE.
LAST TIME JOE'S BOSS WAS OBAMA.
THIS TIME IT WOULD BE PELOSI, 
SANDERS AND THE SQUAD.
THEIR VISION FOR AMERICA IS 
SOCIALISM, AND WE KNOW THAT 
SOCIALISM HAS FAILED EVERYWHERE.
THEY WANT TO TELL AMERICANS HOW 
TO LIVE AND WHAT TO THINK.
THEY WANT A GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER 
OF HEALTH CARE.
THEY WANT TO BAN FRACKING AND 
KILL MILLIONS OF JOBS.
THEY WANT MASSIVE TAX HIKES ON 
WORKING FAMILIES.
JOE BIDEN AND THE SOCIALIST LEFT
WOULD BE A DISASTER FOR OUR 
ECONOMY.
BUT PRESIDENT TRUMP IS LEADING A
NEW ERA OF OPPORTUNITY.
BEFORE COMMUNIST CHINA GAVE US 
THE CORONAVIRUS, WE WERE 
BREAKING ECONOMIC RECORDS LEFT 
AND RIGHT.
THE PANDEMIC 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 KNOWS THE POLITICAL 
CORRECTNESS AND CANCEL CULTURE 
ARE DANGEROUS AND JUST PLAIN 
WRONG.
IN MUCH OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY,
IT IS NOT 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 TURBINE.
MY MOTHER WORE A SAURI.
I WAS A BROWN GIRL IN 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 AND 
THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH CAROLINA 
CHOSE ME AS THEIR FIRST MINORITY
AND FIRST FEMALE GOVERNOR.
AMERICA IS A STORY THAT'S A WORK
IN PROGRESS.
NOW IS THE TIME TO BUILD ON THAT
PROGRESS AND MAKE AMERICA EVEN 
FREER, FAIRER AND BETTER FOR 
EVERYONE.
THAT'S WHY IT'S SO TRAGIC TO SEE
SO MUCH OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY 
TURNING A BLIND EYE TOWARDS 
RIOTS AND RAGE.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE KNOW WE CAN 
DO BETTER.
AND OF COURSE WE VALUE AND 
RESPECT EVERY BLACK LIFE.
THE BLACK COPS WHO HAVE BEEN 
SHOT IN THE LINE OF DUTY, THEY 
MATTER.
THE BLACK SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS 
WHO HAVE WATCHED THEIR LIFE'S 
WORK GO UP IN FLAMES, THEY 
MATTER.
THE BLACK KIDS WHO HAVE BEEN 
GUNNED DOWN ON THE PLAYGROUND, 
THEIR LIVES MATTER, TOO.
AND THEIR LIVES ARE BEING RUINED
AND STOLEN BY THE VIOLENCE ON 
OUR STREETS.
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS.
IT WASN'T LIKE THIS IN SOUTH 
CAROLINA FIVE YEARS AGO.
OUR STATE CAME FACE TO FACE WITH
EVIL, A WHITE SUPREMACIST WALKED
INTO MOTHER 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 
DIDN'T TURN AGAINST EACH OTHER.
WE CAME TOGETHER, BLACK AND 
WHITE, DEMOCRAT AND REPUBLICAN.
TOGETHER WE MADE THE HARD 
CHOICES NEEDED TO HEAL AND 
REMOVED A DIVISIVE SYMBOL 
PEACEFULLY AND RESPECTFULLY.
WHAT HAPPENED THEN SHOULD GIVE 
US HOPE NOW.
AMERICA ISN'T PERFECT.
BUT THE PRINCIPLES WE HOLD DEAR 
ARE PERFECT.
IF THERE IS ONE THING I HAVE 
LEARNED, IT IS THAT EVEN ON OUR 
WORST DAY WE ARE BLESSED TO LIVE
IN AMERICA.
IT'S 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 CLOSEN 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 WITH 
WORSHIP WITHOUT FEAR AND EVERY 
LIFE IS PROTECTED.
WHERE EVERY GIRL AND BOY, EVERY 
WOMAN AND MAN OF EVERY RACE AND 
RELIGION HAS THE BEST SHOT AT 
THE BEST LIFE.
IN THIS ELECTION WE MUST CHOOSE 
THE ONLY CANDIDATE WHO HAS AND 
WHO WILL CONTINUE DELIVERING ON 
THAT VISION.
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND VICE 
PRESIDENT PENCE HAVE MY SUPPORT,
AND AMERICA HAS OUR PROMISE.
WE WILL BUILD ON THE PROGRESS OF
OUR PAST AND UNLOCK THE PROMISE 
OF OUR FUTURE.
THAT FUTURE STARTS WHEN THE 
AMERICAN PEOPLE RE-ELECT 
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP.
THANK YOU.
GOOD NIGHT.
AND MAY GOD ALWAYS BLESS 
AMERICA.
♪♪ 
>>> GOOD EVENING, AMERICA.
I'M DONALD TRUMP JR.
WE'RE 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 
BECOME A REALITY FOR MORE OF OUR
CITIZENS THAN EVER BEFORE.
THE GREATEST PROLONGED ECONOMIC 
EXPANSION IN AMERICAN HISTORY.
THE LONGEST UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN
NEARLY 50 YEARS, THE LOWEST 
UNEMPLOYMENT RATES 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 DEMOCRAT 
ALLIES CALLED MY FATHER A RACIST
AND A XENOPHOBE FOR DOING IT.
THEY PUT POLITICAL CORRECTNESS 
AHEAD OF THE SAFETY AND SECURITY
OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
FORTUNATELY AS THE VIRUS BEGAN 
TO SPREAD, THE PRESIDENT ACTED 
QUICKLY AND ENSURED VENTILATORS 
GOT TO HOSPITALS THAT NEEDED 
THEM MOST.
HE DELIVERED PPE TO OUR BRAVE 
FRONT LINE WORKERS AND HE RAL 
LIED 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'S ALREADY TALKING ABOUT 
SHUTTING THE COUNTRY DOWN AGAIN.
IT'S MADNESS.
DEMOCRATS CLAIM TO BE FOR 
WORKERS, BUT THEY HAVE SPENT THE
ENTIRE PANDEMIC TRYING TO SNEAK 
A TAX BREAK FOR MILLIONAIRES IN 
DEMOCRAT STATES INTO THE COVID 
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 MAN AND WOMAN.
HE SUPPORTED THE WORST TRADE 
DEALS IN THE HISTORY OF PLANET.
HE VOTED FOR THE NAFTA 
NIGHTMARE.
DOWN THE TUBES WENT OUR AUTO 
INDUSTRY.
GOOD-BYE MANUFACTURING JOBS.
BEIJING BIDEN IS SO WEAK ON 
CHINA THAT THE INTELLIGENCE 
COMMUNITY RECENTLY ASSESSED THAT
THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY 
FAVORS BIDEN.
THEY KNOW HE WILL WEAKEN US 
ECONOMICALLY AND ON A WORLD 
STAGE.
BIDEN ALSO WANTS TO BRING IN 
MORE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO TAKE 
JOBS FROM AMERICAN CITIZENS.
HIS 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'S PLEDGED TO REPEAL THE TRUMP
TAX CUTS, WHICH WERE THE BIGGEST
IN OUR COUNTRY.
AFTER EIGHT YEARS OF OBAMA AND 
BIDEN'S SLOW GROWTH, TRUMP'S 
POLICIES HAVE BEEN LIKE ROCKET 
FUEL TO THE ECONOMY AND 
ESPECIALLY TO THE MIDDLE CLASS.
BIDEN HAS PROMISED TO TAKE THAT 
MONEY BACK OUT OF YOUR POCKET 
AND KEEP IT IN THE SWAMP.
THAT MAKES SENSE, THOUGH, 
CONSIDERING JOE BIDEN IS 
BASICALLY THE LOCKENESS MONSTER 
OF THE SWAMP.
FOR THE PAST HALF CENTURY HE'S 
BEEN LURKING IN THERE.
HE STICKS HIS HEAD UP TO RUN FOR
PRESIDENT.
THEN HE DISAPPEARS AND DOESN'T 
DO MUCH IN BETWEEN.
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR HOPE, 
LOOK TO THE MAN WHO DID WHAT THE
FAILED OBAMA-BIDEN 
ADMINISTRATION NEVER COULD DO 
AND BUILT THE GREATEST ECONOMY 
OUR COUNTRY HAS EVER SEEN.
AND PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL DO IT 
AGAIN.
WE WILL BE STRONGER THAN EVER 
BECAUSE WHEN WE PUT OUR MIND TO 
IT, THERE IS NO OBSTACLE THAT 
AMERICA CAN'T 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 DISAGREED 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 ALTER 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'RE TRYING TO 
CANCEL ALL OF THOSE FOUNDERS.
THEY DON'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND 
THIS IMPORTANT PRINCIPLE.
IN ORDER TO IMPROVE IN THE 
FUTURE, WE MUST LEARN FROM OUR 
PAST, NOT ERASE IT.
SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO TEAR DOWN 
MONUMENTS AND FORGET THE PEOPLE 
WHO BUILT OUR GREAT NATION.
INSTEAD, WE WILL LEARN FROM OUR 
PAST SO WE DON'T REPEAT ANY 
MISTAKES, AND WE WILL WORK 
TIRELESSLY TO IMPROVE THE LIVES 
OF ALL AMERICANS.
JOE BIDEN AND THE RADICAL LEFT 
ARE NOW COMING FOR OUR FREEDOM 
OF SPEECH.
THEY WANT TO BULLY US INTO 
SUBMISSION.
IF THEY GET THEIR WAY, IT WILL 
NO LONGER BE THE SILENT 
MAJORITY.
IT WILL BE THE SILENCED 
MAJORITY.
THIS HAS TO STOP.
FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION USED TO BE
A LIBERAL VALUE, AT LEAST BEFORE
THE RADICAL LEFT TOOK OVER.
NOW THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS THE 
HOME OF FREE SPEECH, THE PLACE 
WHERE ANYONE FROM ANY BACKGROUND
CAN SPEAK THEIR MIND AND MAY THE
BEST IDEAS WIN.
PEOPLE OF FAITH ARE UNDER 
ATTACK.
YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO GO TO 
CHURCH.
BUT MASS CHAOS IN THE STREETS 
GETS A PASS.
IT IS ALMOST LIKE THIS ELECTION 
IS SHAPING UP TO BE CHURCH, WORK
AND SCHOOL VERSUS RIOTING, 
LOOTING AND VANDALISM.
OR IN THE WORDS OF BIDEN AND THE
DEMOCRATS, PEACEFUL PROTESTING.
ANARCHISTS HAVE BEEN FLOODING 
OUR STREETS AND DEMOCRAT MAYORS 
ARE ORDERING THE POLICE TO STAND
DOWN.
SMALL BUSINESSES ACROSS AMERICA,
MANY OF THEM MINORITY-OWNED, ARE
BEING TORCHED BY MOBS.
THE DEMOCRAT MAYORS PRETEND IT 
IS NOT HAPPENING.
THEY ACTUALLY CALLED IT A SUMMER
OF LOVE.
AND THAT BRINGS ME TO ANOTHER 
IMPORTANT PRINCIPLE.
EVERY AMERICAN MUST BE FREE TO 
LIVE WITHOUT FEAR OF VIOLENCE IN
YOUR COUNTRY, IN YOUR COMMUNITY 
AND IN YOUR HOMES.
ALL MEN AND WOMEN ARE CREATED 
EQUAL AND MUST BE TREATED 
EQUALLY UNDER THE LAW.
THAT'S WHY WE MUST PUT AN END TO
RACISM AND WE MUST ENSURE THAT 
ANY POLICE OFFICER WHO ABUSES 
THEIR POWERS IS HELD 
ACCOUNTABLE.
WHAT HAPPENED TO GEORGE FLOYD IS
A DISGRACE AND IF YOU KNOW A 
POLICE OFFICER, YOU KNOW THEY 
AGREE WITH THAT, TOO.
BUT WE CANNOT LOSE SIGHT OF THE 
FACT THAT OUR POLICE ARE 
AMERICAN HEROES.
THEY DESERVE OUR DEEPEST 
APPRECIATION BECAUSE NO MATTER 
WHAT THE DEMOCRATS SAY YOU AND I
BOTH KNOW WHEN WE DIAL 911 WE 
DON'T WANT IT GOING TO VOICE 
MAIL.
SO DEFUNDING THE POLICE IS NOT 
AN OPTION.
EVERYTHING STARTS WITH SAFETY 
AND SECURITY.
YOU CAN'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE 
WITHOUT IT.
YOU CAN'T FOCUS ON BUILDING A 
BETTER FUTURE FOR YOUR CHILDREN 
WITHOUT THE PEACE OF MIND THAT 
THEY CAN STUDY SAFELY IN THEIR 
CLASSROOMS, PLAY SAFELY IN THEIR
NEIGHBORHOODS AND SLEEP SAFELY 
IN THEIR BEDS.
BUT SAFETY IS ONLY THE 
BEGINNING.
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'S WHY MY DAD IS 
PRO-SCHOOL CHOICE.
THAT'S WHY HE'S CALLED EDUCATION
ACCESS THE CIVIL RIGHTS ISSUE, 
NOT JUST OF OUR TIME BUT OF ALL 
TIME.
IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT TOO MANY
AFRICAN-AMERICAN AND HISPANIC 
AMERICAN CHILDREN ARE STUCK IN 
BAD SCHOOLS JUST BECAUSE OF 
THEIR ZIP CODE.
DONALD TRUMP WILL NOT STAND FOR 
IT.
IF DEMOCRATS REALLY WANTED TO 
HELP MINORITIES IN UNDERSERVED 
COMMUNITIES, INSTEADING OF 
BOWING TO BIG MONEY UNION 
BOSSES, THEY WOULD LET PARENTS 
CHOOSE WHAT SCHOOL IS BEST FOR 
THEIR KIDS AND LIMIT 
IMMIGRATION, THEY SUPPORT THE 
POLICE WHO PROTECT OUR 
NEIGHBORHOODS, THEY WOULD LEARN 
HOW TO NEGOTIATE TRADE DEALS 
THAT PRIOR ADVERTISE AMERICA'S 
INTEREST FOR A CHANGE, THEY'D 
END THE ENDLESS WARS AND QUIT 
SENDING OUR YOUNG PEOPLE TO 
SOLVE PROBLEMS IN FOREIGN LANDS,
THEY'D CUT TAXES FOR FAMILIES 
AND WORKERS.
THEY'D 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'D DO 
EXACTLY WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP IS 
DOING.
AMERICA IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY 
ON EARTH, BUT MY FATHER'S ENTIRE
WORLD VIEW REVOLVES AROUND THE 
IDEA THAT WE CAN ALWAYS DO 
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 
OPPORTUNITY WHERE HARD WORK PAYS
OFF AND JUSTICE IS SERVED WITH 
COMPASSION AND WITHOUT 
IMPARTIALITY.
YOU CAN HAVE IT.
IMAGINE A WORLD WHERE THE EVILS 
OF THE COMMUNISM AND RADICAL 
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 RADICALS 
WHO WANT TO DRAG US INTO THE 
DARK AND EMBRACING THE MAN WHO 
REPRESENTS A BRIGHT AND 
BEAUTIFUL FUTURE FOR ALL.
IT STARTS BY RE-ELECTING DONALD 
J. TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES.
THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS AMERICA.

SPACE.

CHILDREN'S NUTRITIONAL COMPANY.

SMALL TOWN OUTSIDE OF CHICAGO. 
>> WE BROUGHT TWO DIFFERENT 
CULTURES TOGETHER TO CREATE US, 
A LITTLE BIT OF CRAZY AND. 
>> A LITTLE BIT OF FUN. 
>> YEAH. 
>> THEY TAUGHT US THE VALUES OF 
HARD WORK, LIBERTY, TO LOVE THIS
COUNTRY UNAPOLOGETICALLY.
OUR DAD IS A BEEKEEPER AND JUST 
SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS OUT IN 
THE COUNTRYSIDE AND IT WAS JUST 
SUCH A SWEET THING. 
>> SELLING HONEY AT FARMER'S 
MARKETS.
SO MY LINE WAS, HAVE YOU EVER 
BEEN STUNG BY A BEE. 
>> BUT REALLY IT WAS TEACHING 
US, AGAIN, ENTREPRENEURSHIP, 
SELF-RELIANCE.
AND WE'RE THE ONES THAT NEED TO 
PUT IN THE HARD WORK TO GET WHAT
WE WANT.
>> MY MOTHER BEING FROM 
GUATEMALA, ESCAPING WHAT SHE HAD
THERE, GROWING UP IN POVERTY AND
COMING HERE TO THE UNITED 
STATES, BEING ABLE TO FULFILL 
HER DESTINY AND BE SOMEBODY THAT
SHE COULDN'T THERE IN HER HOME 
COUNTRY. 
>> AND THEY REALLY INSTILLED IN 
US THE SENSE OF PURPOSE BUT ALSO
SELF-ACCOUNTABILITY IN THAT WE 
HAD TO STRIVE TO DO THE THINGS 
THAT WE WANTED AND IT WAS UP TO 
US TO MAKE THOSE THINGS HAPPEN.
>> YOU'RE WATCHING THE FIRST 
NIGHT OF WHAT IS SORT OF THE 
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION.
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ACTUALLY 
CONVENED ITS CONVENTION IN 
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA THIS 
MORNING.
DID ALL THE BUSINESS OF THE 
CONVENTION AND THEN ADJOURNED.
AND NOW THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL 
COMMITTEE AND THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN
ARE BASICALLY PUTTING ON THIS 
SHOW TONIGHT IN THE STYLE OF A 
CONVENTION.
WE HAVE BEEN JUMPING IN AND OUT 
A LITTLE BIT IN PART BECAUSE 
THERE IS A LOT OF THINGS THAT 
HAVE BEEN SAID BY ESTABLISHED 
SPEAKERS TONIGHT THAT HAVE BEEN 
WRONG.
AGAIN, NOT TO ANALYZE WHAT'S 
HAPPENING WHILE IT'S HAPPENING 
BUT, FOR EXAMPLE, NIKKI HALEY IN
HER REMARKS TONIGHT WE ALL SORT 
OF JERKED BACK WHEN SHE 
SUGGESTED THAT THE THREAT FROM 
NORTH KOREA IS OVER. 
>> IT WAS BETTER THAN THAT. 
>> OBAMA AND BIDEN THREAT NORTH 
KOREA THREATEN AMERICA.
PRESIDENT TRUMP REJECTED THAT 
WEAKNESS.
>> NORTH KOREA IS STILL 
THREATENING AMERICA.
AND THERE WAS ALSO THE WHOLE 
LOVE LETTERS THING. 
>> YEAH.
WE LOVE EACH OTHER.
MAYBE TRUMP FINDS STRENGTH IN 
LOVE.
I'M NOT SURE.
BUT THE UNITED STATES HAS NEVER 
HAD A PUBLIC POSTURE TOWARD 
NORTH KOREA MORE WRAPPED IN 
FLOWERY LANGUAGE OF LITERALLY 
LOVE.
THAT'S NOT AN INSULT.
DONALD TRUMP DESCRIBES THEM AS 
LOVE LETTERS.
HE REALLY FINDS A PERSONAL 
CONNECTION WITH KIM JONG-UN 
SOMETHING THAT IS SPECIAL TO 
HIM.
HE'S ALSO TALKED ABOUT TURNING 
THE COAST OF THE COUNTRY INTO 
BOCA.
WE DO NOT PROJECT STRENGTH WHEN 
IT COMES TO NORTH KOREA. 
>> AND THE THREAT FACTUALLY IS 
NOT OVER.
THEY ABSOLUTELY STILL ARE. 
>> YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER, TOO, 
THAT KIM JONG-UN'S FATHER CRAVED
A MEETING WITH AN AMERICAN 
PRESIDENT.
NO AMERICAN PRESIDENT HAS AGREED
TO A FACE-TO-FACE MEETING WITH 
EITHER OF THE KIMS KEPT DONALD 
TRUMP.
WHEN NIKKI HALEY SAID DONALD 
TRUMP STOOD UP TO OUR ENEMIES.
WE COULD FACT CHECK THAT ALL 
NIGHT BASED ON OTHER PEOPLE 
BEYOND THAT, BUT NORTH KOREA. 
>> NIKKI HALEY SAID THAT THE 
REPUBLICANS AND PRESIDENT TRUMP 
IN PARTICULAR REJECTS CANCEL 
CULTURE.
THE PRESIDENT IS CURRENTLY 
CALLING FOR A BOYCOTT OF GOOD 
YEAR TIRES BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T 
PRO-TRUMP ENOUGH FROM SOME STORY
THAT HE -- AND ACTUALLY AN 
INACCURATE STORY HE HEARD ON 
FOX. 
>> THE OTHER LIE SHE TOLD WAS 
THAT JOE BIDEN IS GOOD FOR ISIS.
I MEAN, SECRETARY MATTIS 
RESIGNED AT A PIVOTAL INFLECTION
POINT FOR THE COALITION FIGHTING
ISIS OVER A POLICY DISAGREEMENT 
WITH DONALD TRUMP.
A LOT OF FOREIGN POLICY WATCHERS
ALSO SORT OF JUMPED OUT WHEN HE 
SAID ERDUWAN IS GOOD. 
>> HE SAID HE WAS GREAT TO A MAN
WHO HAD BEEN HELD HOSTAGE IN 
TURKEY BECAUSE OF HIM. 
>> RIGHT, RIGHT.
AND AGAIN DONALD TRUMP DISPLAYED
EPIC WEAKNESS WHEN HE ALLOWED 
THE SLAUGHTER OF THE KURDS, OUR 
GREAT ALLIES FOR. 
>> I'M GOING TO SAY IT WAS 
ERDUWAN'S FORCES THAT BRUTALIZED
PEOPLE IN OUR OWN COUNTRY.
THAT WAS I THINK IN HIS FIRST 
YEAR IN OFFICE. 
>> SO SENATOR TIM SCOTT WILL BE 
THE FINAL HEADLINE SPEAKER OF 
THE NIGHT.
LET'S GO TO HIM NOW. 
>> GOOD EVENING.
I'M SENATOR TIM SCOTT FROM THE 
GREAT STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
TO ALL OF YOU TUNING IN, GOD 
BLESS YOU.
THIS ISN'T HOW I PICTURED 
TONIGHT, BUT OUR COUNTRY IS 
EXPERIENCING SOMETHING NONE OF 
US ENVISIONED, FROM A GLOBAL 
PANDEMIC TO THE DEATHS OF GEORGE
FLOYD AND BREONNA TAYLOR.
2020 HAS TESTED OUR NATION IN 
WAYS WE HAVEN'T SEEN FOR 
DECADES.
BUT REGARDLESS OF THE CHALLENGES
PRESENTED TO US, EVERY FOUR 
YEARS AMERICANS COME TOGETHER TO
VOTE, TO SHARE STORIES OF WHAT 
MAKES OUR NATION STRONG AND THE 
LESS SONS WE HAVE LEARNED THAT 
CAN STRENGTHEN IT FOR FURTHER 
GENERATIONS BECAUSE WHILE THIS 
ELECTION IS BETWEEN DONALD TRUMP
AND JOE BIDEN, IT IS NOT SOLELY 
ABOUT DONALD TRUMP AND JOE 
BIDEN.
IT'S ABOUT THE PROMISE OF 
AMERICA.
IT IS ABOUT YOU AND ME, OUR 
CHALLENGES AND HEARTBREAKS, 
HOPES AND DREAMS.
IT IS ABOUT HOW WE RESPOND WHEN 
TACKLING CRITICAL ISSUES LIKE 
POLICE REFORM WHEN DEMOCRATS 
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 KNOW, I AM LIVING MY 
MOTHER'S AMERICAN DREAM.
MY PARENTS DIVORCED WHEN I WAS 7
YEARS OLD AND WE MOVED IN WITH 
MY GRANDPARENTS INTO A TWO 
BEDROOM HOME WITH ME, MY MOM AND
MY BROTHER SHARING A ROOM AND 
ONE BED.
MY MOM WORKED 16 HOURS A DAY TO 
KEEP FOOD ON THE TABLE AND A 
ROOF 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 FAILS 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'LL 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 MET MY MENTOR, A
CHICK-FIL-A OPERATOR.
JOHN SAW SOMETHING IN ME THAT I 
COULD NOT SEE IN MYSELF AND 
STARTED TEACHING ME VALUABLE 
LIFE LESSONS LIKE HAVING A JOB 
WOULD BE A GOOD THING, BUT 
CREATING JOBS WOULD BE EVEN 
BETTER.
THAT HAVING AN INCOME WOULD 
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'S WHY I FIGHT TO THIS DAY 
FOR SCHOOL CHOICE, TO MAKE SURE 
EVERY CHILD IN EVERY 
NEIGHBORHOOD HAS A QUALITY 
EDUCATION.
I DON'T CARE IF IT'S A PUBLIC, 
PRIVATE, CHARTER, VIRTUAL OR A 
HOME SCHOOL.
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.
RESTED ASSURED THAT DEMOCRATS DO
NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT.
AFTER STARTING MY SMALL 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 STROM THURMAN.
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 THURMAN?
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 ALWAYS 
BENDS BACKWARDS TOWARDS 
FAIRNESS.
WE ARE NOT FULLY WHERE WE WANT 
TO BE, BUT I THANK GOD ALL 
MIGHTY WE ARE NOT WHERE WE USED 
TO BE.
WE ARE ALWAYS STRIDING TO BE 
BETTER.
WHEN WE STUMBLE, AND WE WILL, WE
PICK OURSELVES BACK UP AND TRY 
AGAIN.
WE DON'T GIVE IN TO CANCEL 
CULTURE OR THE RADICAL AND 
FACTUALLY BASELESS BELIEF THAT 
THINGS ARE WORSE TODAY THAN IN 
THE 1860s OR THE 1960s.
WE HAVE WORK TO DO, BUT I 
BELIEVE IN THE GOODNESS OF 
AMERICA, THE PROMISE THAT ALL 
MEN AND ALL WOMEN ARE CREATED 
EQUAL.
AND IF YOU'RE WATCHING TONIGHT, 
I'M BETTING YOU DO, TOO.
OVER THE PAST FOUR YEARS, WE 
HAVE MADE TREMENDOUS PROGRESS 
TOWARDS THAT PROMISE.
PRESIDENT TRUMP BUILT THE MOST 
INCLUSIVE ECONOMY EVER.
SEVEN MILLION JOBS CREATED 
PRE-COVID-19 AND TWO-THIRDS OF 
THEM WENT TO WOMEN, 
AFRICAN-AMERICANS AND HISPANICS.
THE FIRST NEW MAJOR EFFORT TO 
TACKLE POVERTY IN 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 MOTHER'S TAXES 
70% ON AVERAGE.
PRESIDENT TRUMP SUPPORTED THESE 
TAX CUTS FOR THOSE SINGLE MOMS 
AND OTHER WORKING FAMILIES AND 
SIGNED THESE POLICIES INTO LAW.
AND OUR NATION IS BETTER OFF FOR
IT.
SO I'M GOING TO ASK YOU, THE 
AMERICAN PEOPLE, NOT TO SIMPLY 
LOOK AT WHAT THE CANDIDATES SAY 
BUT TO LOOK BACK AT WHAT THEY 
HAVE DONE.
THIS ELECTION IS ABOUT YOUR 
FUTURE AND IT IS CRITICAL TO 
PAINT A FULL PICTURE ABOUT THE 
RECORDS OF DONALD TRUMP AND JOE 
BIDEN.
JOE BIDEN SAID IF A BLACK MAN 
DIDN'T VOTE FOR HIM HE WASN'T 
TRULY BLACK.
JOE BIDEN SAID BLACK PEOPLE ARE 
A MONOLITHIC COMMUNITY.
IT WAS JOE BIDEN WHO SAID POOR 
KIDS CAN BE JUST AS SMART AS 
WHITE KIDS.
AND WHILE HIS WORDS ARE ONE 
THING, HIS ACTIONS TAKE IT TO A 
WHOLE NEW LEVEL.
IN 1994 BIDEN LED THE CHARGE ON 
A CRIME BILL THAT PUT MILLIONS 
OF BLACK AMERICANS BEHIND BARS.
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S CRIMINAL 
JUSTICE REFORM LAW FIXED MANY OF
THE DISPARITIES BIDEN CREATED 
AND MADE OUR SYSTEM MORE FAIR 
AND JUST FOR ALL AMERICANS.
JOE BIDEN ALSO FAILED OUR 
NATION'S HISTORICALLY BLACK 
COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES, 
HEAPING BLAME ON THEM AS THEY 
FOUGHT TO ENSURE OUR YOUNG FOLKS
HAD ACCESS TO HIGHER EDUCATION.
ONCE AGAIN, TO CLEAN UP JOE 
BIDEN'S MESS, PRESIDENT TRUMP M 
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'RE A BLUE STATE 
MILLIONAIRE.
I'M SERIOUS.
THAT'S 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, PASSED 
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 WHAT JOE 
BIDEN SAYS HE'LL DO, LOOK AT HIS
ACTIONS.
LOOK AT HIS POLICIES.
LOOK AT WHAT HE ALREADY DID AND 
WHAT HE DIDN'T DO WHILE HE'S 
BEEN IN WASHINGTON FOR 47 YEARS.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PEOPLE 
DON'T ALWAYS SEE THOSE FAILURES 
BECAUSE THEY THINK WE'RE HAVING 
A POLICY DEBATE ON TWO SIDES OF 
AN ISSUE.
THAT IS NOT WHAT IS HAPPENING.
OUR SIDE IS WORKING ON POLICY 
WHILE JOE BIDEN'S RADICAL 
DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING TO 
PERMANENTLY TRANSFORM WHAT IT 
MEANS TO BE AN AMERICAN.
MAKE NO MISTAKE, JOE BIDEN AND 
KAMALA HARRIS WANT A CULTURAL 
REVOLUTION, A FUNDAMENTALLY 
DIFFERENT AMERICA.
IF WE LET THEM, THEY WILL TURN 
OUR COUNTRY INTO A SOCIALIST 
UTOPIA, AND HISTORY HAS TAUGHT 
US THAT PATH ONLY LEADS TO PAIN 
AND MISERY, ESPECIALLY FOR 
HARDWORKING PEOPLE HOPING TO 
RISE.
INSTEAD, WE MUST FOCUS ON THE 
PROMISE OF THE AMERICAN JOURNEY.
I KNOW THAT JOURNEY 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 PICK COTTON, AND
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'S 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.
♪♪
>> SOUTH CAROLINA REPUBLICAN 
SENATOR TIM SCOTT WRAPPING UP 
THE FIRST NIGHT OF THIS 
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION.
BRIAN WILLIAMS HERE WITH YOU, 
AND GOOD EVENING ONCE AGAIN.
A NEW WEEK BRINGS THE TELECAST 
OR TELETHON, PERHAPS, FROM 
ANOTHER POLITICAL PARTY.
AS WE WELCOME YOU TO A SPECIAL 
TWO-HOUR EDITION OF "THE 11th 
HOUR," LET'S BEGIN WITH WHAT WE 
HAVE JUST WITNESSED, AND LET'S 
BEGIN WITH OUR FRIENDS.
REMAINING WITH US IN OUR NEW 
YORK STUDIOS TO REACT TO WHAT 
WE'VE JUST SEEN, RACHEL MADDOW, 
NICOLLE WALLACE, JOY REID.
RACHEL, YOU FIRST. 
>> OH, BRIAN.
THIS IS IN SOME WAYS, ACTUALLY 
IF YOU LOOKED AT THIS ON PAPER, 
IF YOU KIND OF LOOKED AT THIS AS
A TELEVISION PRODUCTION, IT'S 
MORE SIMILAR TO THE DEMOCRATIC 
EVENT FROM LAST WEEK THAN WE 
THOUGHT.
FOR EXAMPLE, THERE WERE VERY FEW
LIVE EVENTS EVEN THOUGH THE 
REPUBLICANS HAVE PRODUCED THIS 
FROM A CENTRAL HUB, SO EVERYBODY
IS STANDING AT THE SAME PODIUM 
SPEAKING FROM THE SAME PLACE, 
ALMOST EVERYTHING THAT YOU JUST 
SAW TONIGHT, WITH A FEW 
EXCEPTIONS, WAS RECORDED 
BASICALLY LIVE TO TAPE WHERE 
THEY HAD PEOPLE PRERECORD THEIR 
SPEECHES, AND THEY ROLLED THEM 
IN A WAY THAT MADE PEOPLE THINK 
THEY WERE LIVE.
MOST OF THEM WERE NOT LIVE.
IT IS DISTRACTING TO HAVE A LOT 
OF FALSE INFORMATION BROADCAST.
I THINK IT'S DISTRACTING TO US 
AS BROADCASTERS DOING THIS 
BECAUSE WE FEEL A RESPONSIBILITY
TO CORRECT STUFF, AND IT IS 
AWKWARD TO HAVE TO INTERRUPT, 
AND IT MAKES US MAKE HARD 
DECISIONS ABOUT WHAT WE'RE NOT 
SHOWING SO THAT WE CAN CLEAN 
SOME STUFF UP THAT WAS OTHERWISE
SAID THAT PEOPLE MIGHT OTHERWISE
BELIEVE IS FACTUALLY TRUE.
I WILL JUST SAY PERSONALLY I 
FEEL LIKE THERE'S NO CLEAN, 
EASY, AND PERFECT WAY TO DO IT, 
BUT WE DO OUR BEST.
AND MY PRIORITY AT LEAST IS TO 
MAKE SURE THAT WE BROADCAST AS 
LITTLE FALSE MEDICAL INFORMATION
AS POSSIBLE, AND WE HAD A BUNCH 
OF THAT TONIGHT AROUND COVID.
NOT ONLY LYING ABOUT THE 
PRESIDENT'S RECORD, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT DON JUNIOR MEANT WHEN HE 
SAID THE PRESIDENT HAS DELIVERED
PP AND E TO OUR BRAVE FRONTLINE 
WORKERS.
IT'S JUST PPE, BUT THAT DIDN'T 
GET DELIVERED IN A HURRY.
THE PRESIDENT MAKING SOME FALSE 
CLAIMS ABOUT THERAPEUTICS AND 
IMMUNITY AND OTHER THINGS ABOUT 
COVID THAT JUST MAKES ME -- IT'S
REALLY BAD ON A NIGHT WITH THIS 
MANY PEOPLE WATCHING TO STILL BE
BROADCASTING FALSE INFORMATION 
TO A COUNTRY WHERE WE'VE LOST 
176,000 AMERICANS ALREADY, AND 
THE LAST THING WE NEED IS MORE 
LIES AND MISINFORMATION ABOUT 
WHAT THIS VIRUS IS, HOW IT 
WORKS, AND HOW YOU CAN OR CAN'T 
PROTECT YOURSELF FROM IT.
SO I'M -- I GET -- I FEEL THAT 
ACUTELY, BUT TECHNICALLY THEY 
DID -- THEY DID PULL IT OFF.
>> YOU KNOW, BRIAN -- 
>> JOY REID. 
>> SORRY. 
>> GO AHEAD, NICOLLE, SORRY.
>> NO, NO.
YOU GO. 
>> YOU GO. 
>> YOU FIRST.
>> ALL I WAS GOING TO ADD, FIRST
OF ALL, YOU KNOW, RACHEL, WE 
DIDN'T KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THE 
LIES WOULD COME, AND SO IT IS 
SORT OF THIS ON THE FLY THING.
BUT FOR ME, WHY THEY LIE.
WHY THE LIES AND WHY THE SUGAR 
COATING OF THE PANDEMIC BECAUSE 
IF THEY REALLY THOUGHT THAT 
177,000 AMERICANS WAS THE BEST 
AMERICA COULD DO, THERE WOULDN'T
BE ALL THESE DISTRACTIONS.
THEY WOULD HAVE JUST GONE TO THE
HEART OF IT, AND THIS WHOLE 
NIGHT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVID 
NIGHT F. THEY REALLY THOUGHT 
THAT THEY COULD RUN ON THEIR 
RESPONSE TO THE PANDEMIC -- AND,
AGAIN, SINCE WE WERE ANCHORING 
THE HOUR TOGETHER, BRIAN, EVERY 
DAY AS THE NUMBERS TICKED UP IN 
ALARMING AND HEARTBREAKING WAYS,
THE CASE THAT THE PRESIDENT HAS 
TO MAKE TO HIS BASE, EVERY 
SINGLE ONE OF THEM NEEDS TO BE 
ALIVE AND VOTE FOR HIM, IS THIS 
IS THE BEST WE COULD DO.
NOBODY THINKS THIS IS THE BEST 
WE COULD DO, NOT ONE PERSON.
IT WAS NOT THAT THEY LIED AND 
THAT IT WAS AWKWARD AND WE HAD 
TO GET DR. GUPTA.
IT'S WHY THE LIES?
AND THE LIES ARE THERE BECAUSE 
NOBODY THINKS THAT THE BEST THAT
AMERICA CAN DO IS 177,000 DEAD 
PEOPLE. 
>> YEAH, EXCEPT THAT, YOU KNOW, 
THE LATEST POLLING SHOWING THAT 
WHILE LIKE 10% OF DEMOCRATS SAY 
THEY THINK IT'S ACCEPTABLE, IT'S
MAYBE NOT THE BEST WE CAN DO, 
BUT YOU HAVE 67% OF REPUBLICANS 
IN THE LATEST POLLING SAYING 
THEY THINK IT'S ACCEPTABLE THAT 
180,000 PEOPLE ARE DEAD, A 
NUMBER THAT I CHOKE ON, AND I'M 
SURE WE ALL DO TRYING TO GET IT 
OUT EVERY NIGHT.
I MEAN, NICOLLE, WHEN YOU DO THE
PIECE AT THE END WHERE YOU TALK 
ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO DIED, I 
LITERALLY HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, NOT
HAVE MY -- I WANT TO CRY AND 
LISTEN TO IT.
IT'S SO HARD TO SEE THOSE FACES 
AND 180,000, 67% OF REPUBLICANS 
THINK THAT THAT'S ACCEPTABLE.
THAT SHOCKS ME IN A WAY I CAN'T 
GET OVER, AND I'VE KNOWN THIS 
PIECE OF DATA FOR 24 HOURS.
I'M NOT OVER IT.
BUT THE WAY THEY LIE THING, I 
MEAN WHY SAY THAT DONALD TRUMP 
SAVED HBCUs?
THAT ISN'T TRUE.
I MEAN I WAS LITERALLY GOOGLING 
IT ON MY PHONE.
YOU CAN FIND IT IN LIKE TWO 
SECONDS.
IT JUST ISN'T TRUE, BUT THEY'RE 
CLAIM -- THIS WAS A -- IT'S NOT 
A CONVENTION.
I'M SO GLAD THAT RACHEL POINTED 
THAT OUT IN THE BEGINNING 
BECAUSE IT MADE IT MAKE SO MUCH 
SENSE. 
>> IT WAS A PAGEANT ABOUT A 
CONVENTION. 
>> BUT IT WAS ALSO ABOUT A 
PAGEANT ABOUT A CONVENTION 
VERSUS A CANDIDATE WHO DOESN'T 
EXIST.
THEY SHOULD HAVE PRODUCED THIS 
TWO MONTHS AGO BECAUSE IT DIDN'T
MATTER WHO THE DEMOCRAT IS 
BECAUSE THIS PERSON IS A 
COMMUNIST WHO WANTS TO DESTROY 
THE BIBLE AND BURN IT, WHO WANTS
TO, I GUESS, MAKE US INTO CUBA, 
WHO IS NOT STANDING UP TO OUR 
ENEMIES, AND SOMEHOW DONALD 
TRUMP IS. 
>> DONALD TRUMP JR. WARNED 
WHOEVER THIS PERSON IS WILL ALSO
DESTROY THE RULE OF LAW. 
>> WILL DESTROY THE RULE OF LAW.
>> WHICH IS AMAZING COMING 
FROM -- 
>> IT'S BIZARRE.
THEN, YOU KNOW, THEY ENDED WITH 
THE LEAST UNPLEASANT PERSON 
CURRENTLY WORKING IN REPUBLICAN 
POLITICS, TIM SCOTT, WHO IS A 
NICE ENOUGH GUY.
BUT NOTHING THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT
WHAT THIS -- THE REALITY IS 
TRUMPISM IS, IS TRUE.
NIKKI HALEY PIEING THROUGH 
WHICH BLACK LIVES MATTER.
THANK YOU, NIKKI.
I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU POINTING
OUT IT'S EVERYONE EXCEPT PEOPLE 
KILLED BY POLICE.
HERSCHEL WALKER WHO TOUTS DONALD
TRUMP'S BEING INVOLVED IN THE 
USFL.
DONALD TRUMP DESTROYED THE USFL.
TAKE IT FROM AN OLD FANATICAL 
FOOTBALL FAN AS A KID.
EVERYTHING THAT THEY PORTRAYED 
WAS A PAGEANT ABOUT THINGS THAT 
ARE JUST A MADE-UP REALITY.
AND AS A PAGEANT, IT WASN'T -- 
IT DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE VIBRANCY
THAT YOU SAW LAST WEEK.
WE JUST SAW PEOPLE JUST POUNDING
AT THAT SAME PODIUM, PEOPLE WHO 
SEEMED QUITE ANGRY WHEN THEY'RE 
IN POWER.
I DIDN'T GET IT.
I HAVE TO BE HONEST.
I'M JUST SAYING AS TELEVISION I 
DIDN'T GET IT. 
>> BUT THE ANGER PIECE IS 
INTERESTING BECAUSE THERE WAS A 
REASON TO BE ANGRY FOUR YEARS 
AGO.
THEY WERE RUNNING REALLY AGAINST
THE ELITES ON BOTH SIDES.
DONALD TRUMP HAD VANQUISHED 16 
REPUBLICANS, MOST OF THEM FROM 
THE ESTABLISHMENT, AND THEN HE 
WAS OUT TO VANQUISH, YOU KNOW, 
HILLARY CLINTON FROM A DYNASTIC 
AMERICAN POLITICAL FAMILY.
AND SO THE ANGER FOUR YEARS AGO 
ADDED UP.
THERE IS NO RATIONALE FOR THE 
ANGER NOW.
HE'S IN CHARGE. 
>> RIGHT. 
>> SO WHATEVER THE INDICTMENT IS
OF LIFE IN AMERICA TODAY, THIS 
IS DONALD TRUMP'S AMERICA TODAY.
HE'S THE BOSS.
HE'S IN CHARGE.
SO THE ANGER DIDN'T HAVE A 
THREAD.
I THINK THAT IF YOU CAN SORT OF 
PULL AWAY FROM THAT, WHICH 
DOESN'T ADD UP TO US -- AND 
AGAIN, WE WERE NOT THE AUDIENCE.
WE'RE JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND 
WHAT IT MEANS ABOUT HOW THEY SEE
THE RACE.
WHAT IT MEANS ABOUT HOW THEY SEE
THE RACE IS THEY DO NOT HAVE 
THEIR BASE LOCKED UP. 
>> THAT'S AN INTERESTING POINT.
THIS WASN'T TARGETED TOWARD 
PEOPLE WHO AREN'T ALREADY TRUMP 
FANS.
IT'S JUST TO PLEASE PEOPLE WHO 
ALREADY LIKE TRUMP?
>> I THINK THIS -- AND, LISTEN, 
THEY MAY EVOLVE.
THE WEEK MAY, BRIAN, AS WE'VE 
GROWN ACCUSTOMED TO DOING, WE 
MAY -- THERE MAY BE -- 
>> ADJUSTMENTS. 
>> MYSTERY BASKETS.
BUT TONIGHT WAS ABOUT -- THE 
CHARMING OLDER CUBAN GENTLEMAN, 
I MEAN HE'S THERE, AND IT'S 
ALMOST LIKE A REPUBLICAN 
CONVENTION IN THE '80s, RIGHT?
I MEAN IF YOU DON'T HAVE THAT 
GENERATION'S CUBAN VOTE IN 
FLORIDA LOCKED UP TODAY, YOU'RE 
WORRIED ABOUT FLORIDA. 
>> GOOD POINT. 
>> AND THE OLDER CUBAN VOTE.
YOUR CONVENTION PROGRAM REVEALS 
WHERE YOU THINK THE RACE IS 
TODAY, AND WHERE I SAW THEM 
FEELING LIKE THE RACE IS, IS 
THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE TRUMP 
2016 COALITION LOCKED UP YET. 
>> CAN I JUST SAY THE ONE THING,
BRIAN, IN THAT SPEECH THAT 
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, THAT VERY 
EMOTIONAL SPEECH FROM THE 
CUBAN-AMERICAN MAN FROM FLORIDA 
TALKING ABOUT HIS UPBRINGING, 
WHEN HE SAID THAT HE ONCE HEARD 
FIDEL CASTRO ASKED IF HE WAS A 
COMMUNIST, AND HE SAID, NO, I'M 
A ROMAN CATHOLIC, IT WAS A -- HE
WAS SAYING, IN EFFECT, JOE BIDEN
TELLS YOU HE'S A ROMAN CATHOLIC.
WE ALL KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
AS A CATHOLIC, I HAVE TO SAY 
THAT, FOR ME, WAS A LITTLE BIT 
OF A KIND OF I'M NOT SURE I CAN 
TAKE THIS KIND OF A MOMENT.
ACTUALLY, YOU COULD JUST SAY 
YOU'RE ROMAN CATHOLIC, AND IT 
COULD MEAN YOU'RE ROMAN 
CATHOLIC.
IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE FIDEL 
CASTRO AND SECRETLY TRYING TO 
HIDE YOUR COMMUNISM. 
>> I HAD THOUGHT WE LITIGATED 
THIS IN 1960. 
>> YEAH. 
>> BRIAN, CAN WE TALK FOR A 
SECOND ABOUT THE McCLOSKEYS?
CAN WE JUST HAVE A MOMENT?
THAT WAS ONE OF THE STRANGEST 
CHOICES I'VE SEEN MADE IN A 
POLITICAL CONVENTION.
THEY'RE FACING CHARGES FOR 
MENACING, FOR WAVING GUNS AT 
PEACEFUL PROTESTERS WHO WERE 
MARCHING FOR BLACK LIVES MATTER 
AGAINST THE KILLING OF BLACK 
BODIES BY POLICE, AND THEY'RE 
SORT OF HAILED AND GIVEN THIS 
HONORIFIC TO STAND THERE AND 
TALK ABOUT THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN IS
TO ELIMINATE THE SUBURBS.
AND THAT WAS STRANGE.
I'M REALLY GRAD WE HAD TRYMAINE 
LEE TO COME ON AND TALK ABOUT, I
MEAN THE SUBURB THEY LIVE IN HAS
A RESTRICTIVE COVENANT.
IT'S BEHIND IRON GATES.
THEY HAVE A PRIVATE ROAD THAT 30
YEARS AGO I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN 
ABLE TO WALK IN THAT STREET 
BECAUSE IT'S A PRIVATE ROAD AND 
BLACK PEOPLE -- YOU KNOW, IT'S 
VERY DIFFICULT TO EVEN BUY A 
HOME IN THAT COMMUNITY.
SO WHEN THEY'RE SAYING BIDEN IS 
GOING TO ELIMINATE THE SUBURBS, 
WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?
YOU KNOW, IT WAS A STRANGE 
MESSAGE.
AND ON THE LIES THING AGAIN, 
LYING ABOUT LITTLE THINGS.
WHY PRETEND THAT RONNA McDANIEL 
IS A HOUSEWIFE, IS JUST AN 
ORDINARY HOUSEWIFE?
>> SHE'S THE MOST POWERFU
