. TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST >>> WE WANT THIS NATION TO CONTINUE TO BE THE BEACON OF HOPE FOR THE WORLD. >> HOW MANY PEOPLE SAID THEY'RE GOING TO LEAVE AMERICA IF DONALD TRUMP WAS ELECTED?

WHAT HE'S DOING FOR THE POOR PEOPLE, WHAT HE'S DOING FOR EVERYBODY. >> WE ARE GOING TO APPOINT JUSTICES OF THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT WHO WILL UPHOLD OUR LAWS AND OUR CONSTITUTION. >> SUPPORTING LAW ENFORCEMENT IS SO IMPORTANT FOR KEEPING AMERICA GREAT. >> AS LONG AS I AM PRESIDENT, I WILL NEVER DEFUND YOUR POLICE. THAT I PROMISE YOU. IT'S TIME TO DELIVER A VICTORY FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. WE ARE GOING TO START WINNING AGAIN. IT'S CALLED PROMISES MADE, PROMISES KEPT. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> MY NAME IS AMY FORD. I'VE BEEN A REGISTERED NURSE FOR 17 YEARS. I'M FROM THE SMALL TOWN OF WILLIAMSON, WEST VIRGINIA, WHERE I'VE LIVED MY ENTIRE LIFE, THE DAUGHTER OF A NURSE AND A COAL MINER. EVEN THOUGH I WAS THE YOUNGEST OF FOUR CHILDREN, I WAS ALWAYS SOMEWHAT OF A CARETAKER. IT CAME NATURAL FOR ME. SO IT FELT RIGHT TO FOLLOW IN MY MOTHER'S FOOTSTEPS AND BECOME A NURSE. AND THIS MARCH WILL COVID-19 SENT OUR COUNTRY INTO CRISIS, I KNEW I HAD TO HELP ANY WAY THAT I COULD. I DEPLOYED TO NEW YORK IN APRIL AND THEN TO SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, WORKING AS A COVID RELIEF NURSE IN BOTH STATES. AS I CONTINUED WITH THE CHALLENGES OF TREATING OUR PATIENTS WHO HAD THEIR WORLDS TURNED UPSIDE DOWN, I NOTICED A POSITIVE CHANGE IN OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. PRESIDENT TRUMP RECOGNIZED THE THREAT THIS VIRUS PRESENTED FOR ALL AMERICANS EARLY ON AND MADE RAPID POLICY CHANGES. AND AS A RESULT, TELEHEALTH SERVICES ARE NOW ACCESSIBLE TO MORE THAN 71 MILLION AMERICANS, INCLUDING 35 MILLION CHILDREN. PRIOR TO COVID, TELEHEALTH WAS NOT COVERED OR REIMBURSED UNDER MEDICARE, MEDICAID, OR CHIP. THIS LEFT OUR MOST VULNERABLE POPULATIONS WITH NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO HAVE AN IN-PERSON OFFICE VISIT WITH THEIR PHYSICIANS, INCREASING THEIR RISK OF EXPOSURE TO COVID-19 EXPONENTIALLY. THE EXPANSION OF TELEHEALTH SERVICES HAS ALSO RESULTED IN THE INTEGRATION OF VIDEO VISITS BETWEEN PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES, ALLOWING LOVED ONES TO HAVE CONTACT AND VISUALIZATION AS WELL AS A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF CARE. TELEHEALTH HAS BEEN ESSENTIAL DURING THIS PANDEMIC. I DON'T WANT THE MEDIA TAKING MY PERSONAL STORY AND TWISTING IT, SO LET ME BE CLEAR. AS A HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL, I CAN TELL YOU WITHOUT HESITATION DONALD TRUMP'S QUICK ACTION AND LEADERSHIP SAVED THOUSANDS OF LIVES DURING COVID-19, AND THE BENEFITS OF THAT RESPONSE EXTEND FAR BEYOND CORONAVIRUS. TELEHEALTH WILL CONTINUE TO AID MANY THAT ARE JUST UNABLE TO FIND TRANSPORTATION OR A WAY TO THE DOCTOR FOR REGULAR CHECKUPS. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE IN RURAL AMERICA. I LIVE IN A TOWN OF ABOUT 2,000 PEOPLE. WE DO NOT HAVE BUSES, TRAINS, TROLLEYS, OR UBERS AVAILABLE TO US. IN ADDITION, THE UNAVAILABILITY OF SERVICES CAN ALSO HINDER TREATMENT FOR MANY. SO INCREASED ACCESS TO TELEHEALTH FOR MILLIONS OF AMERICANS HAS TRULY BEEN LIFESAVING, AND WE HAVE PRESIDENT TRUMP TO THANK. >> FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, DEMOCRATS, THE MEDIA, AND THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION GOT CORONAVIRUS WRONG. THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION SAID AUTHORITIES HAVE FOUND NO CLEAR EVIDENCE OF HUMAN-TO-HUMAN TRANSMISSION. >> OVERALL, MOST PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE TERRIBLY CONCERNED ABOUT -- >> EVERYTHING IS FINE HERE. >> WE DO WANT TO SAY TO PEOPLE, COME TO CHINATOWN. HERE WE ARE. COME JOIN US. >> WE DON'T EVEN THINK IT'S GOING TO BE AS BAD AS IT WAS IN OTHER COUNTRIES. >> GO ABOUT YOUR LIVES. GO ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS. >> ONE LEADER TOOK DECISIVE ACTION TO SAVE LIVES, PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP, BANNING TRAVEL FROM CHINA AND CORONAVIRUS EPICENTERS. BIDEN CHARGED XENOPHOBIA, BUT PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS RIGHT. SIGNING THE CARES ACT, PROVIDING IMMEDIATE RELIEF TO AMERICAN FAMILIES, WORKERS, AND BUSINESSES, DECLARING A NATIONAL EMERGENCY, TAPPING INTO $42 BILLION IN EXISTING EMERGENCY FUNDING. QUICKLY GETTING CRUCIAL PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT TO THE STATES. SIGNING THE FAMILIES FIRST CORONAVIRU RESPONSE ACT. ENSURING THAT AMERICAN FAMILIES AND BUSINESSES IMPACTED BY THE VIRUS RECEIVE THE STRONG SUPPORT THEY NEED. LAUNCHING OPERATION WARP SPEED, TO FAST-TRACK A VACCINE IN RECORD TIME. >> HE SAID EVERYTHING THAT I COULD HAVE HOPED FOR. PROMISE MADE, PROMISE KEPT. >> HE IS READY, WILLING, AND ABLE TO HELP. >> HE HAS BEEN RESPONSIVE. HE'S DONE A LOT OF GOOD THINGS. >> WHAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DID WAS A PHENOMENAL ACCOMPLISHMENT. >> IN OUR HOUR OF NEED, YOU ARE HELPING US IN A BIG WAY. WE WERE AT THE EDGE. THIS IS LIFE OR DEATH STUFF, AND WE ARE FOREVER THANKFUL FOR THAT. >> SOON, WE WILL EMERGE SAFER, STRONGER, AND GREATER THAN EVER. >> I AM DR. G.E. GHALY, AN ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGEON AND CHANCELLOR OF A LARGE ACADEMIC AND RESEARCH CENTER IN LOUISIANA. I FEEL UNIQUELY POSITIONED TO SHARE HOW PRESIDENT TRUMP'S DECISIVE LEADERSHIP LED TO A RAPID AND EFFICIENT RESPONSE TO THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC. I KNOW THIS AS A HEALTH PROFESSIONAL AND AS SOMEONE WHO HAS RECOVERED FROM COVID HIMSELF. THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC EXPLODED INTO OUR GREAT NATION WITH AN INTENSITY UNPARALLELED IN HISTORY. BUT OUR MEDICAL INVESTIGATION AND DRUG DEVELOPMENT SYSTEMS WERE NOT DESIGNED FOR A PANDEMIC. THE DEVASTATING EFFECTS OF THE CORONAVIRUS DEMANDED IMMEDIATE CHANGES AT THE REGULATORY LEVEL. A PROMPT RESPONSE LED BY PRESIDENT TRUMP CLEARED AWAY THE RED TAPE THAT USUALLY MAKES DRUG APPROVALS A LONG AND DRAWN OUT PROCESS. BY HARNESSING THE RESOURCES OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THE PRIVATE SECTOR, PRESIDENT TRUMP'S OPERATION WARP SPEED IS ACCELERATING THE TESTING, SUPPLY, DEVELOPMENT, AND DISTRIBUTION OF THERAPEUTICS, DIAGNOSTICS, AND VERY SHORTLY, EFFECTIVE VACCINES TO COUNTER COVID-19. LET ME GIVE YOU THREE CLEAR EXAMPLES OF HOW PRESIDENT TRUMP'S LEADERSHIP REMOVED REGULATORY BARRIERS SO COVID PATIENTS COULD HAVE FASTER ACCESS TO EFFECTIVE THERAPIES AND DIAGNOSTICS. FIRST, ON FEBRUARY 26th, TWO PHASE-THREE CLINICAL TRIALS STUDYING REMDESIVIR WERE INITIATED. JUST TWO MONTHS LATER, THE FDA APPROVED REMDESIVIR FOR EMERGENCY USE TO TREAT COVID-19. NORMALLY THIS IS A THREE TO FIVE-YEAR PROCESS. THE AMAZING SPEED WITH WHICH THIS HAPPENED IN A SAFE BUT EFFICIENT MANNER IS UNHEARD OF. SECOND, THE FDA GRANTED EXPANDED ACCESS TO COVID-19 CONVALESCENT PLASMA. WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THIS APPROVAL, WE WERE ADMINISTERING CONVALESCENT PLASMA AND REMDESIVIR TO A CRITICALLY ILL PATIENT, A FORMER ARMY RANGER AND PHYSICIAN. HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE RAPID DEPLOYMENT OF THESE MEDICINES, THIS PATIENT, WHO IS MY COLLEAGUE AND FRIEND, WOULD HAVE SURELY DIED. AND THIRD, AT THE END OF JULY, I DEVELOPED A FEVER AND COUGH. I REACHED OUT TO OUR TESTING TEAM AND RECEIVED ONE OF THE ABBOTT RAPID TESTS. YET ANOTHER TOOL QUICKLY APPROVED BY THIS ADMINISTRATION. WITHIN 15 MINUTES, MY TEST CAME BACK POSITIVE, AND WITHIN FOUR HOURS, I WAS RECEIVING MY REMDESIVIR DOSES FOLLOWED BY AN INFUSION OF CONVALESCENT PLASMA. AS A PHYSICIAN, I'VE SEEN FIRSTHAND HOW THESE BREAKTHROUGHS HAVE SAVED COUNTLESS LIVES. AS A PATIENT, I'VE BENEFITED FROM THE EXPEDITED THERAPIES MADE POSSIBLE BY THE SWIFT ACTION OF THIS ADMINISTRATION. PRESIDENT TRUMP TRULY MOVED MOUNTAINS TO SAVE LIVES, AND HE DESERVES CREDIT. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP, FOR PROVIDING TIMELY ACCESS TO CRITICAL DIAGNOSTICS AND THERAPEUTICS DURING THIS PANDEMIC. THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT, FOR YOUR STRONG LEADERSHIP IN THESE CHALLENGING TIMES. >> WHEN THE CHINA VIRUS INVADED OUR COUNTRY, WE LAUNCHED THE GREATEST MOBILIZATION OF AMERICAN SOCIETY SINCE WORLD WAR II. PATRIOTS OF EVERY RACE, COLOR, AND CREED RALLIED TOGETHER TO DEFEAT THE INVISIBLE ENEMY AND SAVE THE LIVES OF THEIR FELLOW CITIZENS. TODAY OUR HEARTS OVERFLOW WITH APPRECIATION FOR THE INCREDIBLE FRONTLINE WORKERS WHO RISK THEIR OWN HEALTH AND SAFETY TO KEEP AMERICA STRONG AND SAFE. WHEN KRICRISIS CAME, MILLIONS O 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 AND CELEBRATE THE HEROES OF 2020 FOR AS LONG AS OUR GREAT AMERICAN FLAG WAVES OVER THE LAND THAT WE LOVE. TO EVERY FRONTLINE WORKER, I OFFER THE SALUTE OF A NATION THAT IS 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. WE CAN CALL IT MANY DIFFERENT THINGS FROM CHINA VIRUS. I DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH ALL THE NAMES BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE MAY GET INSULTED, BUT THAT'S THE WAY IT IS. THESE ARE GREAT, GREAT PEOPLE. DOCTORS, NURSES, FIRE MMEN, POLICEMEN. WE WANT TO THANK YOU ALL. YOU HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLE, AND WE WANT TO IT YOU AND ALL THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE YOU REPRESENT. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. SO TELL ME A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR STORIES. HOW ABOUT WE'LL START WITH YOU? >> I'M A POSTAL WORK. I DELIVER TO THE SENIOR COMMUNITY DURING COVID-19. >> GOOD. AND WE'RE TAKING GOOD CARE OF OUR POSTAL WORKERS. >> ABSOLUTELY. >> THAT I CAN TELL YOU. BELIEVE ME, WE'RE NOT GETTING RID OF OUR POSTAL WORKERS, YOU KNOW? THEY LIKE TO SORT OF PUT THAT OUT THERE. IF ANYONE DOES, IT'S THE DEMOCRATS, NOT THE REPUBLICANS. I WANT TO THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND THANK EVERYBODY IN THAT WHOLE BEAUTIFUL POST OFFICE SYSTEM. WE APPRECIATE IT. HOW ABOUT YOU? >> I'M A TRUCKER. >> GOOD. >> I OWN A SMALL BUSINESS IN OHIO, HAULING STEEL. SOME OF US MADE HOSPITAL BEDS WITH THE MATERIAL. >> THAT'S FANTASTIC. I LOVE THE TRUCKERS. YOU KNOW THEY'RE ON MY SIDE. I THINK ALL OF THEM FRANKLY. I THINK PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THEM. HOW ABOUT YOU? >> I'M A CUSTODIAN AT THE POST OFFICE AS WELL. >> WHAT DO YOU DO EXACTLY? >> CLEAN UP EVERYBODY'S MESS AND EVERYBODY'S GERMS AND ALL THAT. >> CAN I TELL YOU THAT WORLD, THAT PROFESSION WILL NEVER BE OUT OF BUSINESS. YOU KNOW THAT, RIGHT? THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING HERE. HOW ABOUT YOU? >> I'M A REGISTERED NURSE, PRESIDENT TRUMP. I WORK AT A NEW JERSEY HOSPITAL. I ALSO REPRESENT AN ORGANIZATION OF PROFESSIONAL NURSES. IT'S CALLED THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF CATHOLIC NURSES. >> VERY GOOD. >> I WANT TO TELL YOU, SIR, AS A NURSING SUPERVISOR, I AM SO IN AWE OF YOUR LEADERSHIP. HONESTLY, I KNOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE SAID OFTEN INTERESTING THINGS, BUT IT TAKES A TRUE LEADER TO BE ABLE TO IGNORE ALL THAT STUFF AND DO WHAT IS RIGHT AND NOT BE OFFENDED BY ALL THE WORDS BEING SAID. >> YEAH. >> AND YOU REALLY DO SHOW THAT POSITIVE SPIRIT TO US. AND AS NURSES, I APPRECIATE THAT. >> THANK YOU. >> BUT JUST AS AN INDIVIDUAL, I'M GRATEFUL FOR THAT. >> WELL, I'M FOR THE NURSES. I'M FOR THE DOCTORS. I'M FOR EVERYBODY. WE JUST HAVE TO MAKE THIS CHINA VIRUS GO AWAY, AND IT'S HAPPENING. PLEASE GO AHEAD. >> I'M ALSO A NURSE. I REPRESENT GENESIS HEALTH CARE, WHICH IS A SKILLED NURSING FACILITY COMPANY. >> OH, SURE. >> I WANT TO THANK YOU AND YOUR ADMINISTRATION FOR ALL THE SUPPLIES AND SUPPORT AND FUNDING THAT YOU'VE GIVEN THE SKILLED NURSING UNITS. WITHOUT THAT, WE COULDN'T DO AS WELL AS WE HAVE DONE. I SPENT SOME TIME IN NEW JERSEY. I WENT TO NEW JERSEY AND DID SOME WORK THERE AND WE STARTED TO SEE THINGS CHANGE AND TURN AROUND. >> I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU SAID BECAUSE WE HAVE DELIVERED BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF EQUIPMENT THAT GOVERNORS WERE SUPPOSED TO GIVE, AND IN MANY CASES, THEY DIDN'T GET. SO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAD TO HELP THEM, AND ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT DID THIS INCREDIBLE WORK, THEY NEVER GOT CREDIT FOR IT. BUT YOU UNDERSTAND WHERE IT CAME FROM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU BOTH. IT'S REALLY NICE. PLEASE GO AHEAD. >> I'M A POLICE OFFICER IN ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO, AND I CONTRACTED COVID IN LATE MARCH AND RECOVERED. >> THAT MEANS WE DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID OF YOU AT ALL, RIGHT. >> GOOD TO KNOW. >> ONCE YOU'RE RECOVERED, YOU KNOW WE HAVE THE WHOLE THING WITH PLASMA HAPPENING. THAT MEANS YOUR BLOOD IS VERY VALUABLE. YOU KNOW THAT, RIGHT? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. PLEASE. >> I'M A DETENTION DEPUTY OUT IN CALIFORNIA. I ALSO CONTRACTED COVID END OF MARCH AND RECOVERED FROM THAT ALSO. >> HOW LONG WAS YOUR PROBLEM? >> I WAS SICK ABOUT TEN DAYS REALLY BAD. I GOT EVERYTHING BESIDES A COUGH BUT RECOVERED. I WAS OFF WORK FOR A MONTH AND A HALF, AND I WORK IN OUR LOCAL COUNTY JAILS. >> DID THEY DO ANYTHING SPECIFICALLY TO HELP YOUR RECOVERY? >> THEY GAVE ME Z-PAKS MEDICATION, COUGH SYRUP. >> I WON'T EVEN ASK YOU ABOUT THE HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE BECAUSE IT'S A SHAME WHAT THEY'VE DONE TO THAT ONE, BUT I TOOK IT. I TOOK THE Z-PAK ALSO AND ZINC. I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. IT'S AN HONOR TO HAVE YOU IN THE WHITE HOUSE. YOU'RE FANTASTIC PEOPLE, AND THE PEOPLE YOU REPRESENT, YOU REPRESENT AN INCREDIBLE GROUP OF PEOPLE, AND WE LOVE YOU ALL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE IT. >> GOOD EVENING. I'M CONGRESSMAN JIM JORDAN REPRESENTING THE 4th DISTRICT OF OHIO. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS THE PRO-AMERICA PARTY. PRESIDENT TRUMP IS THE PRO-AMERICA CANDIDATE. THIS ELECTION IS ABOUT WHO CAN PRESERVE THE VAL YUDS, PRINCIPLES AND INSTITUTIONS THAT MAKE AMERICA GREAT. DON'T BELIEVE ME? LOOK AT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN AMERICAN CITIES, CITIES ALL RUN BY DEMOCRATS. CRIME, VIOLENCE, AND MOB RULE. DEMOCRATS REFUSE TO DENOUNCE THE MOB AND THEIR RESPONSE TO THE CHAOS, DEFUND THE POLICE, DEFUND BORDER PATROL, AND DEFUND OUR MILITARY. WHILE THEY'RE DOING ALL THIS, THEY'RE ALSO TRYING TO TAKE AWAY YOUR GUNS. LOOK AT THE POSITIONS THEY'VE TAKEN THE PAST FEW MONTHS. DEMOCRATS WON'T LET YOU GO TO CHURCH, BUT THEY'LL LET YOU PROTEST. DEMOCRATS WON'T LET YOU GO TO WORK, BUT THEY'LL LET YOU RIOT. AND DEMOCRATS WON'T LET YOU GO TO SCHOOL, BUT THEY'LL LET YOU GO LOOT. PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS FOUGHT AGAINST EACH OF THEIR CRAZY IDEAS. HE'S TAKEN ON THE SWAMP, ALL OF THE SWAMP, THE DEMOCRATS, THE PRESS, AND THE NEVER TRUMPERS. AND WHEN YOU TAKE ON THE SWAMP, THE SWAMP FIGHTS BACK. THEY TRIED THE RUSSIA HOAX, THE MUELLER INVESTIGATION, AND THE FAKE IMPEACHMENT. BUT IN SPITE OF THIS UNBELIEVABLE OPPOSITION, THIS PRESIDENT HAS DONE WHAT HE SAID HE WOULD DO. TAXES CUT, REGULATIONS REDUCED, ECONOMY GROWING. LOWEST UNEMPLOYMENT IN 50 YEARS. OUT OF THE IRAN DEAL. EMBASSY IN JERUSALEM. HOSTAGES HOME FROM NORTH KOREA. OF COURSE HE'S BUILDING THE WALL AND REBUILDING OUR ECONOMY AS WE SPEAK. I LOVE THE PRESIDENT'S INTENSITY AND HIS WILLINGNESS TO FIGHT EVERY DAY IN WASHINGTON FOR OUR FAMILIES. BUT WHAT I ALSO APPRECIATE ABOUT THE PRESIDENT IS SOMETHING MOST AMERICANS NEVER GET TO SEE, HOW MUCH HE TRULY CARES ABOUT PEOPLE. OUR FAMILY HAS SEEN IT. TWO YEARS AGO, OUR NEPHEW ELI WAS KILLED IN A CAR ACCIDENT. HE LIVED A MILE UP THE ROAD FROM US, GREW UP WRESTLING AND TRAINING WITH OUR BOYS, WAS A HIGH SCHOOL STATE CHAMPION, VARSITY ATHLETE FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN. IT WAS A SATURDAY MORNING THREE DAYS AFTER THE ACCIDENT. I WALKED TO THE CAR TO HEAD UP TO ELI'S PARENTS HOME WHEN THE PRESIDENT CALLED. WE TALKED ABOUT A FEW ISSUES, AND THEN HE ASKED HOW THE FAMILY WAS DOING. I SAID, THEY'RE DOING OKAY, MR. PRESIDENT, BUT IT'S TOUGH. THE PRESIDENT SAID, YEAH, LOSING A LOVED ONE IS ALWAYS DIFFICULT, AND IT'S REALLY TOUGH WHEN THEY'RE SO YOUNG. I THEN SAID, MR. PRESIDENT, I'M ACTUALLY WALKING INTO THEIR HOUSE RIGHT NOW. OBVIOUSLY THEY DON'T KNOW THAT I'M TALKING TO YOU, BUT IF YOU'D BE WILLING TO SAY HELLO TO ELI'S DAD, YOU'D MAKE A TERRIBLE DAY A LITTLE LESS TERRIBLE. WHAT'S HIS NAME, THE PRESIDENT ASKED? I WALKED THROUGH THE DOOR AND SAID, TODD, THE PRESIDENT WANTS TO TALK TO YOU. FOR THE NEXT FIVE MINUTES, FAMILY AND FRIENDS SAT IN COMPLETE SILENCE AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TOOK TIME TO TALK TO A DAD WHO WAS HURTING. THAT'S THE PRESIDENT I'VE GOTTEN TO KNOW THE LAST FOUR YEARS. THE PRESIDENT WHO SHARED PRIVATE MOMENTS LIKE THIS WITH SOLDIERS, VICTIMS OF VIOLENT CRIME, AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD BUSINESSES DESTROYED BY THE MOB. THAT'S THE INDIVIDUAL WHO'S MADE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN AND WHO KNOWS AMERICA'S BEST DAYS ARE STILL IN FRONT OF US. THAT'S WHY I'M BUSTING MY TAIL TO HELP HIM GET RE-ELECTED. I'M ASKING YOU TO DO THE SAME. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS OUR COUNTRY. >> I'M NOT AN ACTOR, A SINGER, OR A POLITICIAN. I'M HERSCHEL WALKER. MOST OF YOU KNOW ME AS A FOOTBALL PLAYER, BUT I'M ALSO A FATHER, A MAN OF FAITH, AND A VERY GOOD JUDGE OF CHARACTER. I'VE KNOWN DONALD TRUMP FOR 37 YEARS, AND I DON'T MEAN JUST CASUAL RAN INTO HIM FROM TIME TO TIME. I'M TALKING ABOUT A DEEP PERSONAL FRIENDSHIP. I WATCHED AS THE OWNER OF A PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM. HE LEARNED ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE TEAM, THE PLAYERS, 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'D DROP EVERYTHING TO TAKE THE CALL. HE TAUGHT ME THAT THE FAMILY SHOULD BE YOUR TOP PRIORITY. I WATCHED HIM TREAT JANITORS, SECURITY GUARDS, AND WAITERS THE SAME WAY HE WOULD TREAT A VIP. HE MADE THEM FEEL SPECIAL BECAUSE HE KNEW THEY WERE. HE UNDERSTANDS THAT THEY ARE THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE THIS COUNTRY RUN. THEY CLEAN, THEY COOK, THEY BUILD, THEY DRIVE, THEY DELIVER. HE TOLD ME, HER SHELL, MAKE AN EFFORT TO GET TO KNOW PEOPLE. REMEMBER THEIR NAMES. THAT STUCK WITH ME. ONE TIME I PLANNED TO TAKE HIS KIDS TO DISNEY WORLD WITH MY FAMILY. AT THE LAST MINUTE, DONALD SAID HE'D LIKE TO JOIN US. SO THERE HE WAS IN A BUSINESS SUIT ON THE IT'S A SMALL WORLD RIDE. THAT WAS SOMETHING TO SEE. IT JUST SHOWS YOU WHAT A CARING, LOVING FATHER HE IS. IT HURT MY SOUL TO HEAR THE TERRIBLE NAMES THAT PEOPLE 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 THINK 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 ISN'T DONALD TRUMP. JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE LOVES AND RESPECTS THE FLAG, OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM, AND OUR COUNTRY DOESN'T MEAN THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT SOCIAL JUSTICE. I CARE ABOUT ALL OF THOSE THINGS. SO DOES DONALD TRUMP. HE SHOWS HOW MUCH HE CARES ABOUT SOCIAL JUSTICE AND THE BLIGHT COMMUNITY THROUGH HIS ACTIONS, AND HIS ACTIONS SPEAKS LOUDER THAN STICKERS OR SLOGANS ON A JERSEY. HE KEEPS RIGHT ON FIGHTING TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF BLACK AMERICANS AND ALL AMERICANS. HE WORKS NIGHT AND DAY. HE NEVER STOPS. HE LEAVES NOTHING ON THE FIELD. SOME PEOPLE DON'T LIKE HIS STYLE, THE WAY HE KNOCKS DOWN OBSTACLES THAT GET IN THE WAY OF HIS GOALS. PEOPLE ON THE OPPOSING TEAM DIDN'T LIKE WHEN I RAN OVER THEM EITHER, BUT 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 ALL BY HIMSELF ALMOST UNDER CONSTANT ATTACK. BUT THERE'S 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'M BLESSED TO CALL HIM FRIEND. >> GEOOD EVENING, I'M NATALIE HARP, A FORMERLY FORGOTTEN AMERICAN FROM CALIFORNIA. IN THE CLASSIC JIMMY STEWART FILM "IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE" GEORGE BAILEY IS GIVEN A GREAT GIFT, THE CHANCE TO SEE WHAT THE WORLD WOULD BE LIKE WITHOUT HIM. TONIGHT, MR. PRESIDENT, WE'D LIKE TO GIVE YOU THAT SAME GIFT BECAUSE WITHOUT YOU, WE'D ALL BE LIVING IN POTTERSVILLE, SOLD OUT TO A CROOKED MISTER -- OR I SHOULD SAY A CROOKED MRS. POTTER, WITH NO HOPE OF ESCAPE EXCEPT DEATH ITSELF. I SHOULD KNOW BECAUSE I WOULDN'T BE ALIVE TODAY IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU. ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO, I WAS THE VICTIM OF AN NOTORIOUSLY DEADLY MEDICAL ERROR. I SURVIVED BUT ONLY TO BE DIAGNOSED WITH A RARE AND TERMINAL BONE CANCER. YOU KNOW, THE DEMOCRATS LOVE TO TALK ABOUT HEALTH CARE BEING A HUMAN RIGHT, BUT A RIGHT TO WHAT? WELL, I'LL TELL YOU. TO THEM, IT'S A RIGHT TO MARIJUANA, OPIOIDS, AND THE RIGHT TO DIE WITH DIGNITY. A POLITICALLY CORRECT WAY OF SAYING ASSISTED SUICIDE. I WAS TOLD I WAS A BURDEN TO MY FAMILY AND TO MY COUNTRY AND THAT BY CHOOSING TO DIE EARLY, I'D ACTUALLY BE SAVING THE LIVES OF OTHERS BY PRESERVING RESOURCES FOR THEM RATHER THAN WASTING THEM ON A LOST CAUSE LIKE MYSELF. AND WHEN I FAILED THE CHEMOTHERAPIES THAT WERE ON THE MAR MARKET, NO ONE WANTED ME IN THEIR CLINICAL TRIALS. I'D MAKE THEM LOOK BAD. THEY DIDN'T GIVE ME THE RIGHT TO TRY EXPERIMENTAL TREATMENTS, MR. PRESIDENT. YOU DID. AND WITHOUT YOU, I'D HAVE DIED WAITING FOR THEM TO BE APPROVED. NOW WITH THE CORONAVIRUS, EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT THAT FEELS LIKE TO BE WAITING FOR A CURE. BUT WE'VE ONLY BEEN WAITING A FEW MONTHS. JUST IMAGINE WHAT 2020 WOULD HAVE LOOKED LIKE FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE WITHOUT DONALD TRUMP FIGHTING FOR IT TOO. IN JANUARY, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO CHINA TRAVEL BAN. MILLIONS WOULD HAVE DIED. MILLIONS MORE WOULD HAVE BEEN INFECTED. THERE WOULD BE NO RECORD LEVELS OF TESTING, NO RIGHT TO TRY TREATMENTS, NO FAST TRACK FOR A VACCINE, NOR OPERATION WARP SPEED READY TO DELIVER IT. AND WITHOUT DONALD TRUMP AS OUR PATIENT ADVOCATE FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS, WELL, THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC WOULD HAVE STOLEN EVEN MORE LIVES FROM ANESEVEN MORE FAMILIES. KIDNEY PATIENTS WOULD HAVE NO FUTURE EXCEPT DYING ON WASTE LISTS FOR THERE WOULD BE NO INITIATIVE TO INCREASE DONATIONS. THERE WOULD STILL BE NO ACCOUNTABILITY AT THE V.A., AND OUR BRAVE VETERANS WOULD STILL BE SUFFERING LONG WAIT TIMES WITH NO CHOICE NOR ACCESS TO FASTER CARE. INSULIN AND OTHER DRUG PRICES WOULD HAVE CONTINUED TO RISE WHILE A RECORD NUMBER OF GENERIC DRUGS WOULD STILL BE STUCK IN THE PIPELINE. THERE WOULD BE NO PRICE TRANSPARENCY. WE WOULDN'T HAVE HEALTH PLANS UP TO 60% CHEAPER THAN OBAMACARE, AND WE'D STILL BE STUCK WITH THAT INFAMOUS INDIVIDUAL MANDATE. AND GOD FORBID WHAT THE NEXT FOUR YEARS WOULD LOOK LIKE FOR IN JOE BIDEN'S AMERICA, CHINA WOULD CONTROL OUR DRUG PRODUCTION. WE'D BE ONE STEP CLOSER TO GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE. WE WOULDN'T JUST BE UNABLE TO KEEP OUR DOCTORS. WE'D BE LUCKY IF WE COULD SEE ANY DOCTOR. AND EVEN THEN, SOME OF US WOULD BE DENIED CARE FOR IN SOCIALIZED MEDICINE, YOU DON'T BEAT THE ODDS. YOU BECOME THE ODDS. AND I WOULD LOSE MY RIGHT TO TRY JUST LIKE CHARLIE GARD. THAT TERMINALLY ILL BRITISH BABY WHO'S GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM DECIDED IT WAS TOO EXPENSIVE AND TOO CRUEL TO KEEP HIM ALIVE. YOU SEE, MR. PRESIDENT, YOU'VE DONE SO MUCH MORE THAN YOUR PROMISES MADE AND PROMISES KEPT FOR NUMBERS ONLY TELL PART OF THE STORY. WE ARE THE REST OF IT. FACTS WITH FACES OF AMERICANS WHO WOULD STILL BE FORGOTTEN IF YOU AND OUR FAVORITE FIRST LADY HADN'T GIVEN UP YOUR OWN WONDERFUL LIFE SO WE COULD HAVE THE CHANCE AT ONE. GEORGE BAILEY'S FATHER WAS RIGHT. ALL YOU CAN TAKE WITH YOU IS THAT WHICH YOU'VE GIVEN AWAY. AND, MR. PRESIDENT, THAT MAKES YOU THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD FOR YOU HAVE USED YOUR STRENGTH TO MAKE AMERICA STRONG AGAIN, SACRIFICED THE LIFE YOU BUILT TO MAKE AMERICA PROUD AGAIN, AND YOU RISKED EVERYTHING TO MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN. IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE. YOU MADE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, AND ON NOVEMBER 3rd, WE ARE GOING TO KEEP AMERICA GREAT. >> HELLO, AMERICA. MY NAME IS VERNON JONES, AND I'M A STATE REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE GREAT STATE OF GEORGIA. AS YOU CAN SEE, I'M A MAN OF COLOR, AND I'M A LIFELONG DEMOCRAT TOO. YOU MAY BE WONDERING WHY IS A LIFELONG DEMOCRAT SPEAKING AT THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION? AND THAT'S A FAIR QUESTION. AND HERE'S YOUR ANSWER. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY DOES NOT WANT BLACK PEOPLE TO LEAVE THEIR MENTAL PLANTATION. WE'VE BEEN FORCED TO BE THERE FOR DECADES AND GENERATIONS. BUT I HAVE NEWS FOR JOE BIDEN. WE ARE FREE. WE ARE FREE PEOPLE WITH FREE MINDS, AND I'M PART OF A LARGE AND GROWING SEGMENT OF THE BLACK COMMUNITY WHO ARE INDEPENDENT THINKERS, AND WE BELIEVE THAT DONALD TRUMP IS THE PRESIDENT THAT AMERICA NEEDS TO LEAD US FORWARD. THIS IS NO TIME FOR SLEEPING IN THE BASEMENT. JOE BIDEN HAS HAD 47 YEARS TO PRODUCE RESULTS, BUT HE'S BEEN ALL TALK AND NO ACTION JUST LIKE SO MANY OF THE DEMOCRATS WHO HAVE BEEN MAKING PROMISES TO THE BLACK VOTERS FOR DECADES. WE'VE BEEN THEIR CAPTIVE AUDIENCE. WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP SOUGHT TO EARN THE BLACK VOTE, THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY LEADERS WENT CRAZY. NANCY PELOSI AND CHUCK SCHUMER LITERALLY STARTED WEARING KENTA CLOTHS AROUND THE U.S. CAPITOL AS IF PANDERING WERE ENOUGH TO KEEP US SATISFIED. LET ME TELL YOU WHY I'M SUPPORTING OUR PRESIDENT. I GREW UP IN THE SOUTH IN LAUREL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, SCOTLAND COUNTY THE GREEN POND COMMUNITY TO BE ACT. MY PARENTS ROBIN AND RUEFORD JONES BUILT WITH THEIR OWN HANDS A FOUR-ROOM CINDER BLOCK HOME WITH NO INDOOR PLUMBING. THEY HAD VERY LIMITED EDUCATION, BUT THEY INSTILLED IN US A STRONG WORK ETHIC THAT DROVE ME FROM THOSE TOBACCO FIELDS OF NORTH CAROLINA TO THOSE HALL LOWED HALLS OF THE GEORGIA ASSEMBLY. MY PARENTS TAUGHT ME IF I BELIEVED IN GOD, 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, HBCUs HAVE BEEN THE INCUBATORS THAT DEVELOP BLACK SCHOLARS IN MATH AND SCIENCE AND RELIGION, ENGINEERING, AND POLITICS. THEY HAVE BEEN IMPORTANT SPRINGBOARDS FOR THE BLACK SUCCESS. BUT DEMOCRATS HAVEN'T TREATED THEM THAT WAY. WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP TOOK OFFICE, HE CHANGED EVERYTHING. HE DELIVERED HISTORIC FUNDING TO HBCUs, AND HE GUARANTEED IT FOR TEN YEARS, SOMETHING THAT'S NEVER HAPPENED IN THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY. THAT GAVE OUR HBCUs STABILITY, THE CHANCE TO GROW, AND PRODUCE THE NEXT GENERATION OF BLACK LEADERS. THAT'S RIGHT, DONALD TRUMP DID THAT. HE'S ALSO SUPPORTED SCHOOL CHOICE TO ASSURE 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 A BEGINNING. THE PRESIDENT ALSO BUILT THE MOST INCLUSIVE ECONOMY EVER WITH RECORD LOW UNEMPLOYMENT FOR AFRICAN-AMERICANS AND RECORD HIGH PARTICIPATION IN THE WORKFORCE. HE PUT OPPORTUNITY ZONES IN THE TRUMP TAX BILL THAT WOULD DRIVE INVESTMENT INTO OUR COMMUNITIES FOR DECADES TO COME. HE PUT THE INTERESTS OF AMERICAN WORKERS AND ESPECIALLY BLACK WORKERS FIRST. THAT'S RIGHT, DONALD TRUMP DID THAT. HE DELIVERED HISTORIC CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM. HE ENDED ONCE AND FOR ALL THE POLICY OF INCARCERATION OF BLACK PEOPLE WHICH HAS DECIMATED OUR COMMUNITIES CAUSED BY NO OTHER THAN JOE BIDEN. DEMOCRATS WOULDN'T DO IT. OBAMA DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT. AND JOE BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS DEFINITELY WOULDN'T DO IT. BUT DONALD TRUMP DID IT. HE'S ALSO WORKING EVERY DAY TO MAKE OUR COMMUNITY SAFER. AS A FORMER EXECUTIVE OF DeKALB COUNTY, GEORGIA, I DIRECTED ONE OF THE LARGEST PUBLIC SAFETY 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, AND IT'S A DANGER TO OUR CITIES, OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, AND OUR CHILDREN. ISN'T IT IRONIC THAT DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS HAVE PERSONAL SECURITY TO PROTECT THEM, SO WHY DON'T THEY FORGO THEIR SECURITY AND REPLACE THEM WITH SOCIAL WORKERS, ESPECIALLY SINCE THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT FOR YOU AND ME. OUR POLICE NEED MORE FUNDING, NOT LESS. FOR FREQUENT PSYCHOLOGICAL EXAMINATIONS, FOR NON-LETHAL REMOTE RESTRAINT TECHNOLOGY, AND FOR MORE DE-ESCALATION AND USE OF FORCE TRAINING. THESE ARE THE COMMON SENSE SOLUTIONS THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP SUPPORTS, 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 THESE NEGATIVE FORCES THAT HAVE VICTIMIZED THE BLACK COMMUNITY FOR DECADES. HE GAVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO RISE. NOW, YOU KNOW, WHEN I MADE THE PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT OF MY SUPPORT FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP, ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE. I WAS THREATENED, CALLED AN EMBARRASSMENT, AND ASKED TO RESIGN BY MY OWN PARTY. UNFORTUNATELY, THAT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND HOW THEY VIEW INDEPENDENT-THINKING BLACK MEN AND WOMEN. BUT I'M HERE TO TELL YOU THAT BLACK VOICES ARE BECOMING MORE WOKE AND LOUDER THAN EVER. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS BECOME INFECTED WITH THE PANDEMIC OF INTOLERANCE, BIGOTRY, SOCIALISM, ANTI-LAW ENFORCEMENT BIAS, AND A DANGEROUS TOLERANCE FOR PEOPLE WHO ATTACK OTHERS, DESTROY THEIR PROPERTY, AND TERRORIZE OUR OWN COMMUNITIES. THAT'S WHAT THIS ELECTION 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. GOD BLESS YOU AND VOTE DONALD J. TRUMP. THANK YOU. >> IN 2018, A GUNMAN WALKED INTO MARJORY STONEMAN DOUGLAS SCHOOL IN PARKLAND, FLORIDA, AND CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER. MY NAME IS ANDREW POLLACK. HIS NAME ISN'T WORTH SAYING. ONE OF THE SENIORS WALKING IN THE HALLWAYS THAT DAY WAS MY BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER, MEADOW. SHE WAS JUST MONTHS AWAY FROM GLAD WAITING AND BEGINNING A NEW LIFE. WE WERE SO PROUD OF THE WOMAN SHE HAD BECOME. BUT IN THE HALLWAY ON THAT THIRD FLOOR, THE GUNMAN SAW MEADOW AND SHOT HER DOWN THE HALLWAY, HITTING HER FOUR TIMES. AFTER SHE WAS SHOT AND ON THE FLOOR, SHE CRAWLED OVER TO ANOTHER STUDENT, A FRESHMAN GIRL, TO PROTECT HER. SHE DRAPED HER BODY OVER HER, AND THEN THE SCUMBAG GUNMAN 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 HAVE 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 DIDN'T 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 REALLY WASN'T INTERESTED IN PUBLIC EVENTS LIKE A TOUR OR A PHOTO OP. I WAS INTERESTED IN ANSWERS AND SOLUTIONS. SO IF THE PRESIDENT WANTED TO MEET ME PERSONALLY, I SAID I'D GO. 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 TOLD HIM ABOUT MEADOW. I TOLD HIM WHAT WE KNEW. I TOLD HIM THAT HIS ADMINISTRATION NEEDED TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT WHAT WENT WRONG AND WHY. AND I GOT TO SEE WHO PRESIDENT TRUMP REALLY IS. HE'S A GOOD MAN AND A GREAT LISTENER, AND HE CUTS THROUGH THE B.S. THEN 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'LL BET YOU NEVER HEARD ABOUT THAT. INSTEAD, THE MEDIA TURNED MY DAUGHTER'S MURDER INTO A COORDINATED ATTACK ON PRESIDENT TR TRUMP, REPUBLICANS, AND OUR 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 ANNOUNCED THE COMMISSION'S FINDINGS, THE MEDIA'S FIRST QUESTION WASN'T ABOUT PROTECTING KIDS. SHOCKINGLY, THEY ASKED ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. PRESIDENT TRUMP TURNED TO ME APPALLED AND SAID, ANDY, CAN YOU BELIEVE THESE PEOPLE? WE'RE TRYING TO TALK ABOUT SCHOOL SAFETY, AND THIS IS WHAT THEY DO. BUT I COULD BELIEVE IT. AFTER MY DAUGHTER'S MURDER, THE MEDIA DIDN'T SEEM INTERESTED IN THE FACTS, SO I FOUND THEM MYSELF. I LEARNED THAT GUN CONTROL LAWS DIDN'T FAIL MY DAUGHTER. PEOPLE DID. THE GUNMAN HAD THREATENED TO KILL HIS CLASSMATES BEFORE. HE HAD THREATENED TO RAPE THEM. HE HAD THREATENED TO SHOOT UP THE SCHOOL. EVERY RED FLAG YOU COULD IMAGINE. BUT THE SCHOOL DIDN'T JUST MISS THESE RED FLAGS, THEY KNOWINGLY IGNORED THEM. FAR-LEFT DEMOCRATS IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT MADE THIS SHOOTING POSSIBLE BECAUSE THEY IMPLEMENTED SOMETHING THEY CALLED RESTORATIVE JUSTICE. THIS POLICY, WHICH REALLY JUST BLAMES TEACHERS FOR STUDENTS' FAILURES, PUTS KIDS AND TEACHERS AT RISK AND MAKES SHOOTINGS MORE LIKELY. BUT IT WAS BILLED AS A PIONEERING APPROACH TO DISCIPLINE AND SAFETY. I WAS JUST FINE WITH THE OLD APPROACH TO DISCIPLINE AND SAFETY. IT WAS CALLED DISCIPLINE AND SAFETY. BUT THE OBAMA/BIDEN ADMINISTRATION TOOK PARKLAND'S BAD POLICIES AND FORCED THEM INTO SCHOOLS ACROSS AMERICA. WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP RESCINDED OBAMA'S GUIDANCE ON RESTORATIVE JUSTICE POLICIES, HE PUT AN END TO THAT, AND THAT MEANT THE WORLD TO ME. IT'S HARD TO TELL HOW MUCH MR. BIDEN UNDERSTANDS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AT PARKLAND. MR. BIDEN HAS CAMPAIGNED ON BRINGING BACK RESTORATIVE JUSTICE AS PART OF HIS UNITY PLATFORM WITH BERNIE SANDERS AND HAS PLEDGED TO IMPLEMENT IT IN SCHOOL DISTRICTS ACROSS AMERICA. BUT HE DOESN'T EVEN SEEM TO KNOW WHEN THIS SHOOTING HAPPENED. HE SAID HE WAS VICE PRESIDENT WHEN IT HAPPENED, BUT HE WASN'T. MR. BIDEN MAY NOT KNOW WHEN MY DAUGHTER WAS MURDERED, BUT I DO. FEBRUARY 14th, 2018. MR. BIDEN 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, THANK GOD. AND I KNOW WHO THE PRESIDENT WAS TOO. IT WASN'T BARACK OBAMA. IT WAS PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, AND HE TOOK ACTION. I TRULY BELIEVE THE SAFETY OF OUR KIDS DEPENDS ON WHETHER THIS MAN IS RE-ELECTED. I HOPE YOU'LL JOIN ME IN HELPING TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. MR. PRESIDENT, MYSELF AND MILLIONS OF AMERICANS APPRECIATE YOU AND LOVE YOU. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND GOD BLESS OUR PRESIDENT, DONALD J. TRUMP. THANK YOU. >> PROTESTS IN ST. LOUIS TURNED VIOLENT. >> [ BLEEP ]. >> [ BLEEP ]. >> [ BLEEP ]. >> MARK McCLASSKY SAYS HE AND HIS FAMILY HAVE BEEN THREATENED WITH VIOLENCE. >> UNDER MISSOURI LAW YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO DEFEND YOUR HOME AND THE LIVES OF YOUR FAMILY. >> A SEARCH WARRANT HAS BEEN EXECUTED AT THE HOME OF MARK AND PATRICIA McCLUSKEY. >> THE HUSBAND AND WIFE ATTORNEYS CHARGED WITH POINTING GUNS AT PROTESTERS. >> THEY WERE SIMPLY TRYING TO PROTECT THEIR HOME. >> GOOD EVENING, AMERICA. WE ARE MARK AND PATTY McCLUSKEY. WE'RE SPEAKING TO YOU TONIGHT FROM ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, WHERE JUST WEEKS AGO YOU MAY HAVE SEEN US DEFENDING OUR HOME AS A MOB OF PROTESTERS DESCENDED ON OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. >> AMERICA IS SUCH A GREAT COUNTRY THAT NOT ONLY DO YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OWN A GUN AND USE IT TO DEFEND YOURSELF, BUT THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS WILL OFFER YOU FREE ADVICE ON HOW TO USE IT. AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT WE EXPERIENCED. WHAT YOU SAW HAPPEN TO US COULD JUST AS EASILY HAPPEN TO ANY OF YOU WHO ARE WATCHING FROM QUIET NEIGHBORHOODS AROUND OUR COUNTRY, AND THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO SPEAK TO YOU ABOUT TONIGHT. >> THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. WHETHER IT'S THE DEFUNDING OF POLICE, ENDING CASH BAIL SO CRIMINALS CAN BE RELEASED BACK OUT ON THE STREETS THE SAME DAY TO RIOT AGAIN, OR ENCOURAGING ANARCHY AND CHAOS ON OUR STREETS, IT SEEMS AS IF THE DEMOCRATS NO LONGER VIEW THE GOVERNMENT'S JOB AS PROTECTING HONEST CITIZENS FROM CRIMINALS BUT RATHER PROTECTING CRIMINALS FROM HONEST CITIZENS. NOT A SINGLE PERSON IN THE OUT-OF-CONTROL MOB YOU SAW AT OUR HOUSE WAS CHARGED WITH A CRIME. BUT YOU KNOW WHO WAS? WE WERE. THEY ACTUALLY CHARGED US WITH FELONIES FOR DARING TO DEFEND OUR HOME. ON TOP OF THAT, CONSIDER THIS. THE MARXIST, LIBERAL ACTIVIST LEADING THE MOB TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD STOOD OUTSIDE OUR HOME WITH A BULLHORN SCREAMING "YOU CAN'T STOP THE REVOLUTION." JUST WEEKS LATER THAT SAME MARXIST ACTIVIST WON THE DEMOCRAT NOMINATION TO HOLD A SEAT IN THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESE REPRESENTATIVES. IN THE CITY OF ST. LOUIS, THAT'S THE SAME AS WINNING THE ELECTION. THAT MARXIST REVOLUTIONARY IS NOW GOING TO BE THE CONGRESSWOMAN FROM THE 1st DISTRI OF MISSOURI. THESE RADICALS ARE NOT CONTENT WITH MARCHING IN THE STREETS. THEY WANT TO WALK THE HALLS OF CONGRESS. THEY WANT TO TAKE OVER. THEY WANT POWER. THIS IS JOE BIDEN'S PARTY. THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO WILL BE IN CHARGE OF YOUR FUTURE AND THE FUTURE OF YOUR CHILDREN. >> THEY'RE NOT SATISFIED WITH SPREADING THE CHAOS AND VIOLENCE INTO OUR COMMUNITIES. THEY WANT TO ABOLISH THE SUBURBS ALTOGETHER BY ENDING SINGLE-FAMILY HOME ZONING. THIS FORCED REZONING WOULD BRING CRIME, LAWLESSNESS, AND LOW-QUALITY APARTMENTS IN INTO NOW THRIVING SUBURBAN NEIGHBORHOODS. PRESIDENT TRUMP SMARTLY ENDED THIS GOVERNMENT OVERREACH BUT JOE BIDEN WANTS TO BRING IT BACK. THESE ARE THE POLICIES THAT ARE COMING TO A NEIGHBORHOOD NEAR YOU, SO MAKE NO MISTAKE. NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE, YOUR FAMILY WILL NOT BE SAFE IN THE RADICAL DEMOCRATS' AMERICA. >> AT THIS MOMENT IN HISTORY, IF YOU STAND UP FOR YOURSELF AND FOR THE VALUES OUR COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED ON, THE MOB, SPURRED ON BY THEIR ALLIES IN THE MEDIA, WILL TRY TO DESTROY YOU. YOU'VE SEEN US ON YOUR TV SCREENS AND TWITTER FEEDS. YOU KNOW THAT WE'RE NOT THE KIND OF PEOPLE WHO BACK DOWN. THANKFULLY, NEITHER IS DONALD TRUMP. PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL DEFEND THE GOD-GIVEN RIGHT OF EVERY AMERICAN TO PROTECT THEIR HOMES AND THEIR FAMILIES. BUT MORE THAN THAT, TRUMP'S VISION FOR AMERICA IS A COUNTRY WHERE YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO WORK HARD AND BUILD THE LIFE YOU DREAM OF WITH A JOB YOU LOVE, WITH YOUR CHILDREN BEING EDUCATED IN GREAT SCHOOLS, IN A COMMUNITY WHERE YOUR FAMILY CAN PLAY IN THE BACKYARD WITHOUT FEAR, WORSHIP IN A CHURCH WITHOUT SHAME, AND EXPRESS YOUR BELIEFS WITHOUT RETRIBUTION. TRUMP BROUGHT US THE GREATEST ECONOMY OUR COUNTRY HAD EVER SEEN. THE DEMOCRATS HAVE BROUGHT US NOTHING BUT DESTRUCTION. >> WHEN WE DON'T HAVE BASIC SAFETY AND SECURITY IN OUR COMMUNITIES, WE'LL NEVER BE FREE TO BUILD A BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR OURSELVES, FOR OUR CHILDREN, OR FOR OUR COUNTRY. THAT'S WHAT'S AT STAKE IN THIS ELECTION, AND THAT'S WHY WE MUST RE-ELECT DONALD TRUMP. GOD BLESS YOU. GOD BLESS THE PRESIDENT. >> AND GOD BLESS THESE UNITED STATES. >>> GOOD EVENING, AMERICA. I'M KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE. I SPEAK TO YOU TONIGHT AS A MOTHER, A FORMER PROSECUTOR, A LATINA, AND A PROUD AMERICAN. AND, YES, A PROUD SUPPORTER OF PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP. WHY? BECAUSE HE IS THE PRESIDENT WHO DELIVERS FOR AMERICA. HE BUILT THE GREATEST ECONOMY THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN. FOR THE STRIVERS, THE WORKING CLASS AND MIDDLE CLASS. AS COMMANDER IN CHIEF, HE ALWAYS PUTS AMERICA FIRST. PRESIDENT TRUMP IS THE LAW AND ORDER PRESIDENT. NOW PRESIDENTIAL LEADERSHIP IS NOT GUARANTEED. IT IS A CHOICE. BIDEN, HARRIS, AND THE REST OF THE SOCIALISTS WILL FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE THIS NATION. THEY WANT OPEN BORDERS, CLOSED SCHOOLS, DANGEROUS AMNESTY, AND WILL SELFISHLY SEND YOUR JOBS BACK TO CHINA WHILE THEY GET RICH. THEY WILL DEFUND, DISMANTLE, AND DESTROY AMERICA'S LAW ENFORCEMENT. WHEN YOU ARE IN TROUBLE AND NEED POLICE, DON'T COUNT ON THE DEMOCRATS. AS A FIRST-GENERATION AMERICAN, I KNOW HOW DANGEROUS THEIR SOCIALIST AGENDA IS. EDUCATION TEACHER FROM PUERTO RICO. MY FATHER, ALSO AN IMMIGRANT, CAME TO THIS NATION IN PURSUIT OF THE AMERICAN DREAM. NOW I CONSIDER IT MY DUTY TO FIGHT TO PROTECT THAT DREAM. RIOTERS MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO DESTROY OUR CITIES. HUMAN SEX/DRUG TRAFFICKERS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO CROSS OUR BORDER. THE SAME SOCIALIST POLICIES WHICH DESTROYED PLACES LIKE CUBA AND VENEZUELA MUST NOT TAKE ROOT IN OUR CITIES AND OUR SCHOOLS. IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE SOCIALIST BIDEN/HARRIS FUTURE FOR OUR COUNTRY, JUST TAKE A LOOK AT CALIFORNIA. IT IS A PLACE OF IMMENSE WEALTH, IMMEASURABLE INNOVATION AND IMMACULATE ENVIRONMENT. AND THE DEMOCRATS TURNED IT INTO A LAND OF DISCARDED HEROIN NEEDLES IN PARKS, RIOTS ON STREETS AND BLACKOUTS IN HOMES. IN PRESIDENT TRUMP'S AMERICA, WE LIGHT THINGS UP. WE DON'T DIM THEM DOWN. WE BUILD THINGS UP. WE DON'T BURN THEM DOWN. WE KNEEL IN PRAYER, AND WE STAND FOR OUR FLAG. THIS ELECTION IS A BATTLE FOR THE SOUL OF AMERICA. YOUR CHOICE IS CLEAR. DO YOU SUPPORT THE CANCEL CULTURE, THE COSMOPOLITAN ELITES OF NANCY PELOSI, CHUCK SCHUMER, AND JOE BIDEN, WHO BLAME AMERICA FIRST? DO YOU THINK AMERICA IS TO BLAME, OR DO YOU BELIEVE IN AMERICAN GREATNESS, BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, IN PRESIDENT TRUMP, IN INDIVIDUAL AND PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY? THEY WANT TO DESTROY THIS COUNTRY AND EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE FOUGHT FOR AND HOLD DEAR. THEY WANT TO STEAL YOUR LIBERTY, YOUR FREEDOM. THEY WANT TO CONTROL WHAT YOU SEE AND THINK AND BELIEVE SO THAT THEY CAN CONTROL HOW YOU LIVE. THEY WANT TO ENSLAVE YOU TO THE WEAK, DEPENDENT, LIBERAL, VICTIM IDEOLOGY TO THE POINT THAT YOU WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THIS COUNTRY OR YOURSELF. FROM THE BEGINNING, WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP SPOKE ABOUT MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, HE WAS SPEAKING ABOUT THAT SHINING CITY ON A HILL AND RESTORING THE BEACON OF LIGHT THAT ONCE SHINED SO BRIGHT. HIS PROMISE WAS TO PUT AMERICA FIRST, AND HE HAS. WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP CUT MIDDLE CLASS TAXES, PUTTING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS BACK IN THE POCKETS OF WORKING-CLASS AMERICANS, THAT BEACON BEGAN TO FLICKER ONCE AGAIN. WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP COMMANDED THE DEFEAT OF ISIS, TOOK OUT AL BAGHDADI AND SOLEIMANI, AND PAVED THE WAY FOR PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST, THAT BEACON STARTED TO GLOW. WHEN HE NEGOTIATED HISTORIC TRADE DEALS WITH CANADA, MEXICO, JAPAN, AND CHINA, BRINGING BACK THOUSANDS OF MANUFACTURING JOBS TO AMERICA, THAT BEACON SHINED BRIGHT ONCE AGAIN FOR THE WORLD TO SEE. AMERICA, IT'S ALL ON THE LINE. PRESIDENT TRUMP BELIEVES IN YOU. HE E MMANCIPATES AND LIFTS YOU TO LIVE YOUR AMERICAN DREAM. YOU ARE CAPABLE. YOU ARE QUALIFIED. YOU ARE POWERFUL, AND YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO CHOOSE YOUR LIFE AND DETERMINE YOUR DESTINY. DON'T LET THE DEMOCRATS TAKE YOU FOR GRANTED. DON'T LET THEM STEP ON YOU. DON'T LET THEM DESTROY YOUR FAMILIES, YOUR LIVES, AND YOUR FUTURE. DON'T LET THEM KILL FUTURE GENERATIONS BECAUSE THEY TOLD YOU AND BRAINWASHED YOU AND FED YOU LIES THAT YOU WEREN'T GOOD ENOUGH. LIKE MY PARENTS, YOU CAN ACHIEVE YOUR AMERICAN DREAM. YOU CAN BE THAT SHINING EXAMPLE TO THE WORLD. MANIFEST AND BE THE CHANGE IN THIS COUNTRY THAT YOU DREAM, THAT YOU HOPE, THAT YOU BELIEVE IN. STAND FOR AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT WHO IS FEARLESS, WHO BELIEVES IN YOU AND WHO LOVES THIS COUNTRY AND WILL FIGHT FOR HER. PRESIDENT TRUMP IS THE LEADER WHO WILL REBUILD THE PROMISE OF AMERICA AND ENSURE THAT EVERY CITIZEN CAN REALIZE THEIR AMERICAN DREAM. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, LEADERS AND FIGHTERS FOR FREEDOM AND LIBERTY AND THE AMERICAN DREAM, THE BEST IS YET TO COME! >> I'M CONGRESSMAN STEVE SCALISE. WE'RE FACING SOME TOUGH CHALLENGES IN AMERICA. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME WE'VE BEEN HERE. I'VE WORKED CLOSELY WITH DONALD TRUMP OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, AND IF THERE'S ONE CONSTANT THEME TO HOW HE APPROACHES PROBLEMS, IT'S HOW MUCH HE CARES ABOUT THE HARDWORKING PEOPLE THAT WASHINGTON LEFT BEHIND. I'VE SEEN THIS FIRSTHAND. AFTER I WAS SHOT ON A BASEBALL FIELD BY A LEFTIST GUNMAN, FIRST RESPONDERS RUSHED ME TO A HOSPITAL WHERE I BATTLED FOR MY LIFE. THAT SAME NIGHT, DONALD TRUMP CAME TO THE HOSPITAL ALONG WITH FIRST LADY MELANIA TRUMP. THEY CONSOLED MY WIFE JENNIFER. THEY WERE THERE FOR MY FAMILY IN MY DARKEST HOURS. DONALD TRUMP WOULD CALL TO CHECK ON ME THROUGHOUT THE FOLLOWING WEEKS JUST TO SEE HOW I WAS DOING. THAT'S THE KIND OF PERSON HE IS. THAT'S THE SIDE OF DONALD TRUMP THAT THE MEDIA WILL NEVER SHOW YOU. LOOK, THERE'S A LOT AT STAKE. THIS IS AN ELECTION BETWEEN A PARTY THAT WANTS TO BURN DOWN THE FOUNDATIONS OF OUR COUNTRY TO THE GROUND AND A PARTY THAT WANTS TO REBUILD AND PROTECT OUR GREAT NATION. THE LEFT WANTS TO DEFUND THE POLICE. THIS IS PERSONAL TO ME. I WOULDN'T BE HERE WITHOUT THE BRAVERY AND HEROISM OF THE MEN AND WOMEN IN LAW ENFORCEMENT WHO SAVED MY LIFE. PRESIDENT TRUMP STANDS WITH THOSE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN. JOE BIDEN HAS EMBRACED THE LEFT'S INSANE MISSION TO DEFUND THEM. THERE WON'T BE AN AMERICA TO LEAVE TO OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN WITHOUT THOSE BRAVE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND FIRST RESPONDERS. JOE BIDEN'S MADE A CAREER IN WASHINGTON FOR 47 YEARS PROMISING THINGS HE'S NEVER DELIVERED. IN JUST THREE SHORT YEARS, PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS DELIVERED HUGE WINS FOR AMERICAN FAMILIES. WHILE JOE BIDEN MADE HOLLOW PROMISES WHEN HE CHAIRED THE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE, 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 JOBS BACK. I'VE SEEN HOW DEEPLY PRESIDENT TRUMP CARES ABOUT REBUILDING OUR EVAPORATING MIDDLE CLASS. PRESIDENT TRUMP PLEDGED TO GIVE THE FORGOTTEN MEN AND WOMEN OF AMERICA 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 HARDWORKING 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 BY SHUTTING DOWN FLIGHTS FROM CHINA AND EUROPE, HE'S NOW FOCUSING THE FULL WEIGHT OF THE GOVERNMENT ON A REVOLUTIONARY PLAN TO CURE THIS VIRUS BY CUTTING RED TAPE AND EMPOWERING SCIENTISTS TO CREATE A VACCINE. THIS IS VISIONARY LEADERSHIP IN ACTION AT A TIME WHEN WE CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER 47 YEARS OF HOLLOW PROMISES. AMERICA'S BEEN THROUGH TOUGH TIMES BEFORE. WHO BETTER TO LEAD US OUT OF THESE TIMES THAN THE PRESIDENT WHO ALREADY BUILT THE STRONGEST 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 SEAN 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. DESPITE THOSE DIFFERENCES, WE WERE BOUND TOGETHER AS BROTHERS FROM THE SAME AMERICAN FAMILY. ON JUNE 10th, 2006, OUR PLATOON WAS ATTACKED JUST AFTER DAWN. OUTNUMBERED 10 TO 1, WE ENDURED MORTAR AND MACHINE GUN FIRE AS HUNDREDS OF TALIBAN CHARGED US FROM THREE SIDES. WE HAD 24 MEN THAT DAY. WAVE AFTER WAVE OF TALIBAN ADVANCED UP THE HILL. I WAS WOUNDED THREE TIMES IN THE FIGHTING. NEARLY ALL OF MY PLATOON WAS POU WOUNDED WITHIN THE FIRST MINUTE. BUT THE ENEMY KEPT COMING. WE FOUGHT 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 DEFEND. 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 VENOM AT AN AUTO WORKER WHO DARED TO QUESTION'S JOE INTENT TO DISMANLTLE THE SECOND AMENDMENT AND TAKE YOUR GUNS. WHERE DEMOCRATS ONCE STOOD FOR HARDWORKING, LAW-ABIDING AMERICANS WHO DISPLAYED OUR FLAG WITH PRIDE, THIS NEW DEMOCRAT PARTY CONSIDERS THESE PEOPLE UNEDUCATED RACISTS CLINGING TO GUNS AND BIBLES. THE PARTY OF HARRY TRUMAN BECAME THE PARTY OF HEDGE FUND MANAGERS, HOLLYWOOD CELEBRITIES, TECH MOGULS AND UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS, ALL BLOATED WITH CONTEMPT FOR MIDDLE AMERICA. I LOOK ACROSS THE AISLE, AND 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 AND WILL DESTROY ANYONE THEY DEEM A HER ATICK. 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 HAS UNLEASHED THE ECONOMIC MIGHT OF THIS NATION LIKE NO OTHER PRESIDENT IN OUR HISTORY. HE TRIGGERED THE RISING TIDE OF WORKING FAMILIES, BROUGHT US ENERGY INDEPENDENCE, RECLAIMED JOBS FROM OVERSEAS THAT YOU KNOW DEMOCRATS SAID WOULD NEVER RETURN. HE HAS FIERCELY DEFENDED THE BESIEGED 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'RE A TRADITIONAL DEMOCRAT WHO'S 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 EXCEPTIONAL UNION. MR. PRESIDENT, LEAD THE WAY. MILLIONS IN OUR AMERICAN FAMILY BELIEVE IN THIS PATH TO DESTINY. GUIDE US TO THAT HORIZON. THANK YOU AND MAY GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. RESPECT FOR ALL. THE BELIEF THAT ALL ARE CREATED EQUAL, THAT LIVES MATTER IRRESPECTIVE OF RACE, CREED OR COLOR, COMMITTED TO EXCELLING BEYOND OUR DREAMS. FOUR YEARS AGO, WE FACED AN HISTORIC CROSSROAD. CAREER POLITICIANS PROMISING CHANGE EVERY ELECTION BUT DELIVERING EMPTINESS. WE CHOSE A DIFFERENT PATH, A MAN WHO IS NOT A POLITICIAN, A MAN WHO CARES, A MAN WHO WORKS TIRELESSLY FOR YOU. STILL, POLITICIANS SPUN THEIR DECEPTIONS AND OBSTRUCTED PROGRESS FANNING THE FLAMES OF LAWLESSNESS. IT'S EASY TO CRITICIZE. IT TAKES A TRUE LEADER TO SOLVE PROBLEMS. COVID-19, WHILE OTHERS CRITICIZED, PRESIDENT TRUMP'S SWIFT ACTION SAVED LIVES AND AS LEADING DEMOCRATS WANT TO KEEP BUSINESSES CLOSED DOWN, OUR PRESIDENT IS LEADING THE WAY FOR A FULL ECONOMIC RECOVERY. WE ARE AMERICA. WE AS AMERICANS WORK TOGETHER TO OVERCOME CHALLENGES, WRITE OUR OWN STORIES. AMERICA, LAND OF PROMISE, LAND OF OPPORTUNITY, LAND OF HEROES, LAND OF GREATNESS. >> I THOUGHT I HAD BEEN FORGOTTEN. I NEARLY GAVE UP HOPE. >> I WAS SO AFRAID. >> I BELIEVED I WOULD DIE HERE. >> AMERICAN HOSTAGES, FORGOTTEN AND WASTING AWAY IN FAR-OFF PRISONS, WRONGFULLY DETAINED BY FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS. AMERICANS WERE BEATEN, ABUSED, STARVED AND LEFT FOR DEAD. UNTIL PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP STEPPED IN. >> THE THREE AMERICAN HOSTAGES FINALLY BACK ON U.S. SOIL AFTER BEING HELD CAPTURE IN NORTH KOREA. >> BREAKING NEWS IN TURKEY WHERE AN AMERICAN PASTOR HAS BEEN RELEASED. >> AN AMERICAN JAILED IN EGYPT IS BACK IN THE U.S. THIS MORNING AFTER AN INTERVENTION BY THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION. >> A TOUGH AND SKILLED NEGOTIATOR, PRESIDENT TRUMP SUCCESSFULLY WON THE RELEASE OF DETAINEES AND PRISONERS, AMONG THE MOST OF ANY PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY, WHILE FAMILIES WAITED FOR NEWS OF THEIR LOVED ONES, PRESIDENT TRUMP PROVIDED A NEW SPARK OF HOPE BY BRINGING OUR HOSTAGES HOME. >> WE HAVE DANNY BACK HOME WHERE HE SHOULD BE. HE WAS IN YEMEN IN A VERY HORRIBLE SITUATION. YESTERDAY, THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT SECURED THE RELEASE OF KATELYN, JOSHUA AND THEIR THREE CHILDREN. TODAY WE ARE BRINGING HOME ANOTHER AMERICAN CITIZEN. WE HAD NEWS TURKEY RELEASED A PRISONER WE WERE TRYING TO GET TO THE UNITED STATES. >> UNDER THIS ADMINISTRATION, AMERICA HAS NOT AND WILL NOT TURN ITS BACK ON OUR PEOPLE. PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL BRING THEM HOME. >> DIPLOMACY, NEGOTIATION SKILLS, PERSEVERANCE, FAITH. THE INGREDIENTS OF HOPE WHEN THERE IS NO HOPE. NO AMERICAN SHOULD EVER BE LEFT BEHIND. PRIORITY, FREEING AMERICAN HOSTAGES. >> WE HAVE SIX INCREDIBLE PEOPLE WHO WERE HELD HOSTAGE BY VARIOUS COUNTRIES. AND I'M VERY PLEASED TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW WE BROUGHT BACK OVER 50 HOSTAGES FROM 22 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES. WE WORKED VERY HARD ON IT. AMBASSADOR O'BRIEN AND OTHERS. I WILL TELL YOU, WE ARE VERY PROUD OF THE JOB WE DID. I'D LIKE TO ASK MAYBE PASTOR BRUNSON TO SAY A FEW WORDS. GIVE US HISTORY. >> I WAS HELD IN TURKEY FOR TWO YEARS. 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. I'M VERY GRATEFUL. >> 28 YEARS? THEY HAD YOU SCHEDULED FOR A LONG TIME. WE HAD TO GET YOU BACK. TO ME, PRESIDENT ERDOGAN WAS VERY GOOD. I KNOW THEY HAD YOU SCHEDULED FOR A LONG TIME. YOU WERE A VERY INNOCENT PERSON. HE ULTIMATELY, AFTER WE HAD A FEW CONVERSATIONS, HE AGREED. SO WE APPRECIATE THAT. WE APPRECIATE THE PEOPLE OF TURKEY. YOU STILL APPRECIATE THE PEOPLE OF TURKEY, I UNDERSTAND. RIGHT? >> WE LOVE THE TURKISH PEOPLE. >> IT'S GREAT TO HAVE YOU BACK. THANK YOU. PLEASE. >> MR. PRESIDENT, THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. MY NAME IS SAM GOODWIN. I WAS IN SYRIA FOR 63 DAYS. I THINK I SPEAK FOR MY FELLOW FORMER HOSTAGES AND DETAINEES WHEN I SAY I'M AS GRATEFUL AS ANYTHING TO BE HOME SAFELY. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE. PARTICULARLY PASTOR O'BRIEN WAS HELPFUL TO MY FAMILY. I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH NICE THINGS ABOUT HIM. THANK YOU FOR PROMOTING HIM. HAPPY TO BE HERE. THANK YOU. >> WE GOT YOUR BACK. WE GOT YOU ALL BACK. WE HAVE SOME MORE THAT WE ARE WORKING ON TO GET BACK THAT WE BETTER DO. GO AHEAD. >> I DO WANT -- IT'S AN HONOR TO BE HERE, MEET YOU IN PERSON. BASICALLY WHAT HAPPENED WITH ME IS I WENT TO TRAVEL OVER TO THE COUNTRY OF IRAN. TURNED OUT, THERE WAS A MAJOR TRAP. I WENT THROUGH A LOT IN THEIR INJUSTICE SYSTEM. IRAN IS AN OPPRESSIVE EXTORTIONIST TERRORIST REGIME. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. YOU WERE ABLE TO GET ME OUT OF THAT PRISON IN RECORD TIME. IT WAS AMAZING. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THE HONOR IS ALL MINE. >> PLEASE. >> THIS IS MY WIFE TAMMY. I'M JOSH. WE WERE HELD HOSTAGE IN VE VENE VENEZUELA. YOU HELPED US GET OUT. SENATOR HATCH WORKED WITH YOU ON THAT AS WELL. IT WAS A GREAT HONOR TO BE ABLE TO MEET YOU WHEN WE GOT BACK. I REMEMBER A LOT OF PEOPLE ASKED, WHAT WAS IT LIKE MEETING PRESIDENT TRUMP? I WAS BLOWN AWAY. I GOT RELEASED AFTER TWO YEARS. I'M SHAKING THE HAND OF THE PRESIDENT. I DON'T REMEMBER A LOT. IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU AGAIN. IT'S BEEN GREAT. IT'S BEEN GREAT TO BE BACK HELPING PEOPLE THROUGH SITUATIONS THAT THEY HAVE GONE THROUGH. WE START OUR FAMILY. >> THE GREAT PEOPLE OF UTAH REALLY WANTED ME TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE TWO OF YOU. WE WERE ABLE TO DO IT. A LITTLE BIT OF A MIRACLE, I THINK. >> IT WAS. >> IT WAS A VERY HOSTILE PERIOD. WE APPRECIATE EVERYBODY WORKING SO HARD WITH US. WE WERE ABLE TO GET YOU BACK. ARE YOU LIVING IN UTAH NOW? >> WE ARE LIVING IN UTAH. >> SAY HELLO TO THE FOLKS IN UTAH. THEY ARE GREAT PEOPLE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. CONGRATULATIONS. >> THANK YOU. >> PLEASE. >> UNEXPECTED TRIP IN INDIA. I WAS NOT GOING TO INDIA. I WAS GOING TO NEPAL. ON BEHALF OF MY FAMILY AND MYSELF, THANK YOU FOR GETTING US OUT AND HOME. THE DARKEST MOMENT OF OUR WHOLE TIME TOGETHER, YOUR LETTER TO MY WIFE CAME. IT REALLY GAVE HER HOPE AND PEACE. 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 WE WOULD GET TO COME HOME. THEY PLANNED ON KEEPING ME FOR THREE TO FIVE YEARS. THE ORIGINAL CHARGE WAS THREE TO FIVE YEARS. THAT WAS CLEARED. THEN THEY CAME UP WITH NEW CHARGES TO DO A SEVEN-YEAR TERM. >> INDIA RESPONDED VERY WELL TO MY REQUEST. WE APPRECIATE THAT. >> I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU DID. >> THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US. WE HAVE A FEW MORE PEOPLE WE WANT TO GET BACK. WE WILL GET THEM BACK. THEY WILL BE BACK VERY SOON. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GREAT STORIES. >> HELLO. I LIVE IN MIAMI, FLORIDA. NOT FAR FROM FLORIDA WHICH IS NOT JUST A BLUE STRIP ON A MAP FOR ME. IT DIVIDES FREEDOM FROM FEAR. IT DIVIDES THE PAST FROM THE FUTURE. I KNOW ALL ABOUT THE PAST. I WILL NEVER FORGET MY OWN. MY FAMILY HAS FLED TOTALITARIANISM AND COMMUNISM MORE THAN ONCE. FIRST MY DAD FROM SPAIN. THEN FROM CUBA. MY FAMILY 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. YOU WILL NEVER BE AS LUCKY AS ME. I'M SPEAKING TO YOU TODAY BECAUSE MY FAMILY IS DONE ABANDONING WHAT WE RIGHTFULLY EARNED. THERE'S NO PLACE TO HIDE. I'M SPEAKING TO YOU TODAY BECAUSE PRESIDENT TRUMP MAY NOT ALWAYS BE POLITICALLY CORRECT, IS IN FACT A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSMAN, NOT YOUR AVERAGE CAREER POLITICIAN. OUR PRESIDENT IS JUST ANOTHER FAMILY MAN. A FRIEND. A MOST IMPORTANT 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'VE SEEN MOVEMENTS LIKE THIS BEFORE. I'VE SEEN IDEAS LIKE THIS BEFORE. I AM HERE TO TELL YOU, WE CAN NOT LET THEM TAKE OVER OUR COUNTRY. I HEARD THE PROMISES OF FIDEL CASTRO. I CAN NEVER FORGET ALL THOSE WHO GREW UP AROUND ME WHO LOOK 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 BUT 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 UNLIKE THE PROMISES, BUT SOON AFTER THEY EXPERIENCED THE REALITY. LOOK AT THEM. LISTEN TO THEM. LEARN THE TRUTH. THOSE PROMISES SPREAD THE WEALTH, FREE EDUCATION, FREE HEALTH CARE, DE-FUND THE POLICE. FIRST A SOCIALIST STATE 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, TOTALLY DESTROYED. WHEN I WATCH THE NEWS IN SEATTLE, CHICAGO, PORTLAND AND OTHER CITIES, WHEN I SEE THE HISTORY BEING REWRITTEN, WHEN I HEAR THE PROMISES, I HEAR ECHOS OF A 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 WILL 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 A CUBAN BORN BUT I'M 100% AMERICAN. THIS IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. AND I SAID THIS BEFORE. IF I GAVE AWAY EVERYTHING 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 IS FIGHTING THE FORCES OF ANARCHY AND COMMUNISM. I KNOW HE WILL CONTINUE TO DO JUST THAT. 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. HERE IS WHAT I HAVE DECIDED. MY DECISION IS VERY EASY. I CHOOSE PRESIDENT TRUMP BECAUSE I CHOOSE AMERICA. I CHOOSE FREEDOM. I STILL HEAR MY DAD. THERE IS NO OTHER PLACE TO GO. THANK YOU, AND MAY THE GOOD LORD BLESS AMERICA. >> THE DEMOCRATS ARE GOING MORE LEFT. >> MANY POSITIVE ABOUT SOCIALISM. >> MANY OF THE IDEAS WE FOUGHT FOR THAT WERE CONSIDERED RADICAL ARE NOW MAINSTREAM. >> THE COMPROMISE THAT THEY CAME UP WITH, IF IMPLEMENTED, WILL MAKE BIDEN THE MOST PROGRESSIVE PRESIDENT SINCE FDR. >> THE RADICAL LEFT HAS TAKEN OVER THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. JOE BIDEN IS MARCHING IN LOCKSTEP WITH THEM. THEY ARE PROMISING TO CRUSH MIDDLE CLASS FAMILIES WITH TRILLIONS IN NEW TAXES. >> IF YOU ELECT ME, YOUR TAXES WILL BE RAISED. >> PROMISING AMNESTY AND HEALTHCARE FOR 11 MILLION ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. >> 11 MILLION UNDOCUMENTED FOLKS. >> PROMISING TO SHUT DOWN ENERGY EXPLORATION, KILLING JOBS AND HURTING AMERICA'S ECONOMY. >> I GUARANTEE WE WILL END FOSSIL FUEL. >> IN JOE BIDEN'S AMERICA, THE RADICAL LEFT GET WHATEVER THEY WANT AND YOU GET TO PAY FOR IT. THEY HAVE TAKEN OVER JOE BIDEN AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. DON'T LET THEM TAKE OVER AMERICA. >> GOOD EVENING. I'M NIKKI HALEY. IT'S GREAT TO BE BACK AT THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION. I WILL START WITH A LITTLE STORY. IT'S ABOUT AN AMERICAN AMBASSADOR TO THE UNITED NATIONS AND IT'S ABOUT A SPEECH SHE GAVE TO THIS CONVENTION. SHE CALLED FOR THE RE-ELECTION OF THE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT SHE SERVED. 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. AMBASSADOR JEAN KIRPATRICK'S WORDS ARE JUST AS TRUE TODAY. JOE BIDEN AND THE DEMOCRATS ARE STILL BLAMING AMERICA FIRST. DONALD TRUMP HAS ALWAYS PUT AMERICA FIRST. 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. THE U.N. IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. IT'S A PLACE WHERE DICTATORS, MURDERERS AND THIEVES DENOUNCE AMERICA AND THEN PUT THEIR HANDS OUT AND DEMAND THAT WE PAY THEIR BILLS. WELL PRESIDENT TRUMP PUT AN END TO 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 IRAN 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 A GODSEND FOR EVERYONE WHO WANTS US TO ABANDON OUR VALUES. DONALD TRUMP IS TOUGH ON CHINA. HE TOOK ON ISIS AND WON. 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. WHEN JOE WAS VP, I WAS GOVERNOR OF THE GREAT STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. WE HAD A PRETTY GOOD RUN. MANUFACTURERS OF ALL KINDS FLOCKED TO OUR STATE FROM OVERSEAS, CREATING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF AMERICAN JOBS. PEOPLE WERE REFERRING TO SOUTH CAROLINA AS THE BEAST OF THE SOUTHEAST, WHICH I LOVED. EVERYTHING WE DID HAPPENED IN SPITE OF JOE BIDEN AND HIS OLD BOSS. WE CUT TAXES. THEY RAISED THEM. WE SLASHED RED TAPE. THEY PILED ON MORE MANDATES. 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. 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. 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'S ONE MORE IMPORTANT AREA WHERE OUR PRESIDENT IS RIGHT. HE KNOWS 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 SORI. 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 TOUT 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'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. 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. 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 SYMBOLRE. WHAT HAPPENED THEN SHOULD GIVE US HOPE NOW. AMERICA ISN'T PERFECT, BUT THE PRINCIPLES WE HOLD DEAR ARE PERFECT. THERE'S ONE THING I HAVE LEARNED, IT'S THAT EVEN ON OUR WORST DAY, WE ARE BLESSED TO LIVE IN AMERICA. IT'S TIME TO KEEP 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 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 JUNIOR. WE ARE HERE TONIGHT IT 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 LOWEST UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN NEARLY 50 YEARS. THE LOWEST UNEMPLOYMENT RATES EVER FOR BLACK AMERICANS, HISPANIC AMERICANS, WOMEN AND PRETTY MUCH EVERY OTHER DEMOGRAPHIC GROUP. 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 SDXENOPHOBE FOR IT. THE PRESIDENT ENSURED HOSPITALS GOT VENTILATORS AND DELIVERED PPE FOR WORKERS AND RALLIED THE PRIVATE SECTOR TO TACKLE THIS NEW CHALLENGE. THERE'S MORE WORK TO DO. BUT THERE IS A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL. JOB GAINS ARE OUTPACING WHAT THE SO-CALLED EXPEPERTS EXPECTED. BIDEN WOULD STOP OUR ECONOMIC RECOVERY COLD. HE IS TALKING ABOUT SHUTTING THE COUNTRY DOWN AGAIN. IT'S MADNESS. DEMOCRATS CLAIM TO BE FOR WORKERS. BUT THEY HAVE SPENT THE PANDEMIC TRYING TO SNEAK A TAX BREAKS 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 THE PLANET. HE VOTED FOR THE NAFTA NIGHTMARE. DOWN THE TUBES WENT OUR AUTO INDUSTRY. HE PUSHED FOR TPP. GOOD-BYE MANUFACTURING JOBS. BEIJING BIDEN IS SO WEAK ON CHINA THAT THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY ASSESSED THAT THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY FAVORS BIDEN. THEY KNOW HE WILL WEAKEN US ECONOMICALLY AND ON A WORLD STAGE. BIDEN 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 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 CONSIDERING JOE BIDEN IS BASICALLY THE LOCHNESS MONSTER OF THE SWAMP. HE HAS BEEN LURKING AROUND 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. PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL DO IT AGAIN. WE WILL BE STRONGER THAN EVER BECAUSE WHEN WE PUT OUR MIND TO IT, THERE'S NO OBSTACLE THAT AMERICA CAN'T SURMOUNT. EXCEPT THERE'S 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 ALTAR OF GOD ETERNAL HOSTILITY AGAINST EVERY FORM OF TYRANNY. OUR FOUNDERS BELIEVED THERE WAS NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN TO THINK FOR OURSELVES. THE LEFT IS TRYING TO CANCEL THOSE FOUNDERS. THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS IMPORTANT PRINCIPAL. IN ORDER TO IMPROVE IN THE FUTURE, WE MUST LEARN FROM OUR PAST. NOT ERASE IT. 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. 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. MAY THE BEST IDEAS WIN. PEOPLE OF FAITH ARE UNDER ATTACK. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GO TO CHURCH. BUT MASS CHAOS IN THE STREETS GETS A PASS. IT'S ALMOST LIKE THIS ELECTION IS SHAPING UP TO BE CHURCH, WORK AND SCHOOL, VERSUS RIOTING, LOOTING AND VANDALISM OR IN THE WORDS OF BIDENTHE DEMOCRATS, PEACEFUL PROTESTING. ANARCHISTS ARE FLOODING OUR STREETS. SMALL BUSINESSES ACROSS AMERICA, MANY OF THEM MINORITY OWNED, ARE BEING TORCHED BY MOBS. THE DEMOCRAT MAYORS PRETEND IT'S NOT HAPPENING. THEY CALLED IT A SUMMER OF LOVE. THAT BRINGS ME TO ANOTHER IMPORTANT PRINCIPAL. 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. IF YOU KNOW A POLICE OFFICER, YOU KNOW THEY AGREE WITH THAT, TOO. WE CANNOT LOSE SITE OF THE FACT OUR POLICE ARE AMERICAN HEROES. THEY DESERVE OUR DEEPEST APPRECIATION. NO MATTER WHAT THE DEMOCRATS SAY, YOU AND I BOTH KNOW WHEN WE DIAL 911, WE DON'T WANT IT GOING TO VOICEMAIL. DE-FUNDING 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. SAFETY IS ONLY THE BEGINNING. TRUMP'S AMERICA IS A LAND OF OPPORTUNITY. A PLACE OF PROMISE. I WAS FORTUNATE TO GROW UP IN A FAMILY THAT COULD AFFORD THE BEST SCHOOLS AND FINEST UNIVERSITIES. A GREAT EDUCATION CANNOT BE THE EXCLUSIVE RIGHT OF THE RICH AND POWERFUL. IT MUST BE ACCESSIBLE TO ALL. THAT'S WHY MY DAD IS PRO-SCHOOL CHOICE. THAT'S WHY HE HAS CALLED EDUCATION ACCESS THE CIVIL RIGHTS ISSUE 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 AND UNDER DPLT SERV DPLTSERVED COMMUNITIES, THEY WOULD LET PARENTS CHOOSE WHAT SCHOOL IS BEST FOR THEIR KIDS. THEY WOULD LIMIT IMMIGRATION TO PROTECT AMERICAN WORKERS. THEY WOULD SUPPORT THE POLICE WHO PROTECT OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. THEY WOULD LEARN HOW TO NEGOTIATE TRADE DEALS THAT PRIORITIZE AMERICA'S INTERESTS FOR A CHANGE. THEY WOULD END THE ENDLESS WARS AND QUIT 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. MY FATHER'S ENTIRE WORLD VIEW 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 OPPORTUNITY. WHERE HARD WORK PAYS OFF AND JUSTICE IS SERVED WITH COMPASSION AND WITHOUT P PARTIALITY. 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. 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. >> I WORK IN THE POLITICAL SPACE. >> I'M THE FOUNDER OF BEGIN HEALTH, A CHILDREN'S NUTRITIONAL COMPANY. >> WE GREW UP IN A SMALL TOWN OUTSIDE OF CHICAGO. >> OUR MOM IS FROM GUATEMALA. OUR DAD IS A SMALL BUSINESSOWNER FROM CHICAGO. WE BROUGHT TWO CULTURES TOGETHER TO CREATE US. A LITTLE CRAZY AND A LITTLE FUN. >> THEY TAUGHT US VALUES OF HARD WORK, LIBERTY, TO LOVE THIS COUNTRY UNAPOLOGETICALLY. OUR DAD IS A BEEKEEPER. HAD SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS OUT IN THE COUNTRYSIDE. IT WAS SUCH A SWEET -- >> WE DEGREE UP SELLING HONEY. >> AT FARMER'S MARKETS. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN STUNG BY A BEE? REALLY, IT WAS TEACHING US ENTREPRENEURSHIP, SMALL BUSINESS, SELF-RELIANCE AND THAT WE ARE 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. >> THEY INSTILLED IN US THE SENSE OF PURPOSE BUT ALSO SELF-ACCOUNTABILITY AND THAT WE HAD TO STRIVE TO DO THE THINGS THAT WE WANTED AND IT WAS UP TO US TO MAKE THOSE THINGS HAPPEN. >> IN AMERICA, THERE'S NO CEILING OF OPPORTUNITY. YOU DEFINE YOUR OWN DESTINY THROUGH HARD WORK, THROUGH HAVING A MORAL VALUE SYSTEM. THESE THE AMERICAN DREAM. PRESIDENT TRUMP IS PROVIDING THAT FOR EVERYBODY. >> LOOK AT MY BUSINESS. AS A SMALL STARTUP THAT IS GROWING AND LAUNCHING, WE ARE TRYING TO INNOVATE AND THE BIG CHALLENGE THAT COVID BROUGHT THAT WE DIDN'T SEE COMING WAS THAT JUST ALMOST EVERYTHING KIND OF JUST SHUT DOWN. WHEN YOU ARE A SMALL STARTUP AND YOU HAVE LIMITED FUNDING AND THE FUNDING IS REALLY ONLY TO GET YOU TO THAT NEXT MILESTONE, WE WERE REALLY STRUGGLING. SO WE WERE ABLE TO APPLY FOR A PPP LOAN WHICH ALLOWED US TO CONTINUE HIRING AND WORKING AND DEVELOPING OUR PRODUCTS SO WE COULD STILL LAUNCH. >> IT'S NOW MORE THAN EVER SO IMPORTANT TO HAVE A PRESIDENT AND ADMINISTRATION THAT UNDERSTANDS SMALL BUSINESS IS THE BACKBONE OF OUR ECONOMY. THE JOB ACTS WAS HUGE. MANUFACTURING, DEREGULATION, FAIR TRADE, THESE ARE THINGS THAT AFFECTED REAL AMERICANS. >> WE HAVE A CHAMPION IN THE OVAL OFFICE WHO HAS THIS BUSINESS BACKGROUND. HE UNDERSTANDS THE NEED FOR SMALL BUSINESSES LIKE MY SISTER'S TO SURVIVE. >> WE AREN'T THE STEREOTYPICAL CONSERVATIVE. WE COME FROM HISPANIC AND WE ARE MILLENNIAL WOMEN. THAT'S NOT WHAT THE MEDIA WANTS. SOMEBODY LIKE AOC, FAR LEFT WOMEN COME OUT WITH THESE VERY DESTRUCTIVE POLITICAL IDEOLOGIES THAT ARE TRYING TO INFILTRATE MILLENNIALS AND THE NEXT GENERATION. I HAVE DECIDED TO STEP UP AND SAY, WE NEED A COUNTER VOICE TO THESE WOMEN. THERE HAS BEEN AN ASSAULT ON CAPITALISM, JUST GENERALLY. I THINK IT'S VERY SCARY TO IMAGINE A BIDEN WORLD WHERE THE PROGRESSIVE WING IDEAS ARE STARTING TO TAKE FRONT AND CENTER STAGE. THAT WILL REALLY CHOKE THE AMERICAN ECONOMY. THERE WILL BE OVERREGULATION, OVERTAXATION. IT'S VERY HARD TO INNOVATE THROUGH THOSE TWO THINGS. ULTIMATELY, WHAT'S REALLY SAD IS THE THOUGHT OF MAKING ALL OF US DEPENDENT ON THE GOVERNMENT. WE ARE NOT GOING TO ALLOW THAT. >> I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF MODERATES, A LOT OF PEOPLE NOW CHANGING OVER BECAUSE OF EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN HAPPENING. THIS IS A TASTE OF BIDEN'S AMERICA. THE RIOTING, THE CRIME, FREEDOM IS AT STAKE NOW. THIS IS GOING TO BE THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF OUR LIFETIME. WE WANT TO PRESERVE THE AMERICA OUR MOTHER CAME HERE FOR. >> HAVING A THRIVING ECONOMY, THAT IS KEEPING AMERICA GREAT. PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS DELIVERED ON THAT PROMISE. HE IS TRULY FIGHTING FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. WE ARE THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, PERIOD, ON OUR WORST DAY, WE ARE STILL THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. IN ORDER TO PRESERVE THAT, IT'S BY PUTTING AMERICA FIRST, HAVING A THRIVING ECONOMY, HAVING HAPPINESS. >> 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 ISN'T HOW I PICTURED TONIGHT. 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. REGARDLESS OF THE CHALLENGES PRESENTED TO US, EVERY FOUR YEARS, AMERICANS COME TOGETHER TO VOTE. TO SHARE STORIES OF WHAT MAKE OURS NATION STRONG AND THE LESSONS 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'S 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 THE 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. I AM LIVING MY MOTHER'S AMERICAN DREAM. MY PARENTS DIVORCED WHEN I WAS 7. WE MOVED IN WITH MY GRANDPARENTS INTO A TWO BEDROOM HOME WITH ME MY MOM AND 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. 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 CIVICS. EVEN WHILE I WAS FAILING THE NINTH GRADE, MY MOTHER ALWAYS SAID TO ME, TIM, 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 MET MY MENTOR, A CHICK-FIL-A OPERATOR. JOHN SAW SOMETHING IN ME I COULD NOT SEE IN MYSELF AND STARTED TEACHING ME VALUABLE LIFE LESSONS. LIKE HAVING A JOB WOULD BE A GOOD THING. CREATING JOBS WOULD BE EVEN BETTER. THAT 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 WORK 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. 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 THAT. AFTER STARTING MY SMALL BUSINESS, AND SPENDING 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 THUHMAN. HOW DOES A POOR BLACK KID RUN AND WIN IN A RACE CROWDED WITH REPUBLICANS? 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'S ARC BENDS BACK TOWARDS FAIRNESS. WE ARE NOT FULLY WHERE WE WANT TO BE, BUT I THANK GOD ALMIGHTY, WE ARE NOT WHERE WE USED TO BE. WE ARE ALWAYS STRIVING 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 FACT DIDNFA FACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT THINGS ARE WORSE. WE HAVE WORK TO DO. I BELIEVE IN THE GOODNESS OF AMERICA. THE PROMISE THAT ALL MEN AND ALL WOMEN ARE CREATED EQUAL. IF YOU ARE 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 -- TWO-THIRDS 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 HOUSEHOLD TAXES -- FOR THOSE SINGLE MOMS AND OTHER WORKING FAMILIES AND SIGN THESE POLICIES INTO LAW. OUR NATION IS BETTER OFF FOR IT. 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. IT IS CRITICAL TO PAINT A FULL PICTURE OF 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. 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 FAILED OUR NATION'S HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES. HEAPING BLAME ON THEM ON THEY FOUGHT TO ENSURE HIGHER EDUCATION, 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. NOW JOE BIDEN WANTS TO COME FOR YOUR POCKETBOOKS. UNLESS, OF COURSE, YOU ARE A BLUE STATE MILLIONAIRE. I'M SERIOUS. THAT'S ONE OF THE SOLUTIONS FOR THE PANDEMIC. THEY WANT TO TAKE MORE MONEY FROM YOUR POCKET AND GIVE IT TO MAN HOLLYWOOD MOGULS. 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. WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT JOE BIDEN SAYS HE WILL DO, LOOK AT HIS ACTIONS. LOOK AT HIS POLICIES. LOOK AT WHAT HE ALREADY DID AND WHAT HE DIDN'T DO WHILE HE HAS BEEN IN WASHINGTON FOR 47 YEARS. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, 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 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. THAT LEADS TO PAIN AND MYSTERY, ESPECIALLY FOR HARD WORKING 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. 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. 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. 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. FATHER, PLEASE CONTINUE BLESSING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. GOD BLESS.
