[Music]
we come together tonight to imagine a
future
determined by the shining light of our
hopes and values
and faith
[Music]
a country where we are judged by our
character with dignity and respect for
all
[Music]
the belief that all are created equal
that lives matter irrespective of race
creed or color committed to excelling
beyond our dreams
limited only by our imaginations where
rugged individualism and american
exceptionalism
inspire the best in each of us
and when we see injustice to one we act
to fix it for all
this is our story we journey together
[Music]
we stand in a breach to preserve a way
of life that while imperfect
has brought prosperity honor and dignity
to generations past
and will for generations to come
[Music]
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 loves america
and all americans a man who works
tirelessly
for you even tonight during this
nomination
the results jobs were created
embracing the undeniable greatness of
diversity
prosperity safe communities
protecting and serving caring for one
another
still politicians spun their deceptions
and obstructed progress
fanning the flames of lawlessness we all
know that it is easy to criticize
it takes a true leader to solve problems
covet 19 while others criticized without
solutions
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 despite unpredictable
events
we as americans work together to
overcome challenges
write our own stories the legends for
our posterity
america land of promise
land of opportunity land of heroes
land of greatness join us
over the next four nights as we write
the next chapter of our journey
and share our vision as the greatest
country with the greatest citizens
that attain the greatest achievements
from washington d.c welcome to the 2020
republican national convention
tonight celebrating america as the land
of promise
[Music]
let us pray and pray
we must as grateful citizens of a
country
we boldly claim to be one nation
under god pray we must
praising the lord for a country where
freedom of religion is so cherished
where
where both republicans and democrats
begin their conventions
heads bowed in prayer
pray we must conscious of those
suffering from covet
and those unwearied front liners who
care for them
and all of us pray we must that all
lives may be protected
and respected in our troubled cities in
the police who guard them
intense world situations where our men
and women in uniform keep the peace
for the innocent life of the baby in the
womb
for our elders in nursing care and
hospice
for our immigrants and refugees those
lives threatened by religious
persecution throughout the world are
by plague hunger drugs human trafficking
or war
pray we must in thanksgiving in

[Music]
i pledge allegiance to the flag of the
united states of america and to the
republic
for which it stands one nation under god
indivisible with liberty and justice for
all
[Music]
good evening it is an honor to be with
you tonight
my name is charlie kirk i run the
largest pro-american student
organization in the country
turning point usa fighting for the
future of our republic
speaking to you in my personal capacity
tonight as a 26 year old
i see the angst of young people as well
as the challenges
facing new parents i am here tonight to
tell you
to warn you that this election is a
decision between preserving america as
we know it
and eliminating everything that we love
for decades ruling class leaders in both
parties
sold out our future to china to faceless
corporations
and to self-serving lobbyists they did
it to preserve their own power
and enrich themselves all while rigging
the system
to hold down the good decent middle
class patriots
striving to build a family and pursue a
decent life
all of this changed dramatically in 2015
when a billionaire named donald trump
put his own life of luxury on the line
from that moment he came down that
famous escalator
he started a movement to reclaim our
government
from the rotten cartel of insiders that
have been destroying
our country we may not have realized it
at the time
but trump is the bodyguard of western
civilization trump was elected to
protect our families
from the vengeful mob that seeks to
destroy our way of life
our neighborhoods schools churches
and values president trump was elected
to defend
the american way of life the american
way of life
means you follow the law you work hard
you honor god you raise your kids with
strong values
and you work to create a civil society
the american way of life means you speak
your mind
without retribution without being kicked
off social media by a self-righteous
sensor
in silicon valley it means you can
freely practice your religion
and that church is more essential than a
casino
and it means that we judge people on
their actions
not on their immutable characteristics
the american way of life is being
dismantled by a group of bitter
deceitful vengeful activists who have
never built
anything in their lives they have us
locking up pastors
while releasing violent criminals from
prison we are kicking doctors off of
social media
yet promoting chinese state-funded
propaganda on major
tech platforms this election is the most
critical since 1860
when a man named lincoln was elected to
preserve the union
from disintegration this election is not
just the most important of
our lifetime it is the most important
since the preservation of the republic
in 1865. by reelecting trump we will
ensure that our kids are raised
to love our country and respect its
founding fathers
not taught to hate or be ashamed of them
we will build monuments to heroes not
burn down our cities
we'll be a country that rises to higher
heights that dreams big
thinks big and achieves the impossible a
country that values our remarkable
journey the complexities of our past
but clearly communicates to the next
generation
that we have to be grateful not
angry that we live in the united states
we will be a country that makes it
easier to have
many children live quiet and peaceable
lives
and worship your god without a tyrant
getting
in the way we will be a country that has
its best 100 years ahead
we will build a future where america
remains the greatest country
ever to exist in the history of the
world all of that
is within our grasp if we secure four
more years
for the defender of western civilization
our champion
my friend the 45th president of the
united states
president donald j trump
[Music]
i'm rebecca friedrichs a veteran
california public school educator
i'm here to give voice to america's
great teachers
because our voices have been silenced
for decades
by unions who claim to represent us
they do not when other dedicated
teachers and i
served within the unions we spoke up in
defense of children
parents scientific fact and american
values
for our trouble we were brutalized booed
off the platform
barred from committees shouted down
and even spit upon by union leaders
this is how unions treat devoted
teachers
but what's even worse is how their
agenda of control
deceives americans and our children
they've intentionally rewritten american
history
to perpetuate division pervert the
memories of
our american founders and disparage our
judeo-christian virtues
their lenient discipline policies
morphed our schools into war zones
and they back defunding police and
abolishing ice
unions collect billions annually from
unsuspecting teachers
and push this radical agenda into our
classrooms
against our will why
the only way to keep a free republic is
with a well-educated
moral citizenry that can self-govern
unions are subverting our republic so
they undermine
educational excellence morality law
and order that's why they spend
hundreds of millions annually to defeat
charter schools
and school choice trapping so many
precious
low-income children in dangerous corrupt
and low-performing schools to fight back
on behalf of children and america brave
teachers brought a lawsuit against
unions
and do you know who intervened against
us
the obama biden administration and
california attorney general
kamala harris they argued against us
at the u.s supreme court their comrades
labeled us spawns of satan
and slandered us in mainstream media
no matter their abuse we'll keep
fighting for the country and children we
love
just like president trump he's breaking
the union's
grip on our schools that's why unions
have tried to destroy him
since the day he was elected but
president trump isn't afraid to fight
for what's right
he won't back down his courage gives
great teachers
renewed hope he's even proposed
education freedom scholarships
to return control to parents protect
religious liberties
and empower kids to escape dangerous
low-performing schools
the republican platform supports
educational freedom
the democrat party does not
democrats stand with deceptive teachers
unions
who pick on loving teachers and little
kids
president trump stands with america's
families
great teachers and most importantly our
children
so america's great teachers let's stand
with president trump
in protection of the kids and country we
[Music]
love
i am so grateful to speak with you today
my name is tanya weinrice i am from
montana where i live with my husband
my hero a marine and retired police
officer
my husband and i own mountain mud
espresso we are not some multinational
corporation
our success is not measured by
stockholders
but by our neighbors the people we see
at church
and at jiu jitsu school with our son
mountain mud espresso is the american
story
a story not just for entrepreneurs but
for millions of hard-working
men and women who are building their
american dream every day
a few months ago like so many businesses
we got the crushing news
a large event we were serving was
cancelled because of the virus
our business was on the brink threatened
to be shut down
from losses that were not our fault
i was scared i thought of our 50
employees
the mountain mud family and when i
thought of their jobs i thought of their
rent being due
they're kids and i felt personally
responsible
i'm not too proud to admit that i fell
on my knees and prayed
lord what do i do his words rang clear
keep on working it will be okay
i had faith and let me tell you you have
to have faith when your husband is a
marine
and a police officer who is shot at on
the job
and when you run a business a little
faith goes a long way
faith in jesus and faith in america
but i'm worried we have a generation of
americans who have been told that the
american dream
doesn't exist that's a lie
i know because i live that dream it's
why i feel so strongly
that we need a president who believes in
the american dream
like president donald trump now more
than
ever i am so thankful that my
prayers for help were answered my
company was one of the first to receive
a ppp
loan and praise god it has been a
lifesaver
not only were we able to keep every
single employee but we've been hiring
weekly
ever since i feel for local businesses
across america who are under assault
from
shutdowns from riots and now facing the
terrifying prospect of joe biden
coming after everything we've built
i am so grateful we have leaders like
president trump
standing up for local businesses like
mine
thank you president trump it is exciting
to be part of the great american
comeback story
i'm congressman matt gates i'm speaking
to you from an auditorium
emptier than joe biden's daily schedule
but we are a nation of full hearts and
clear minds
we see the choice clearly strength or
weakness
energy or confusion success or failure
president trump is the first president
since reagan not to start a new war
biden has foolishly cheerled decades of
war without winning
without end president trump knows we are
strongest when we fight hardest
not in distant deserts but for our
fellow americans
we must fight to save america now or we
may lose her forever
joe biden might not even notice settle
for biden
that's the hashtag promoted by aoc and
the socialists
the woktopians will settle for biden
because they will make him an extra in a
movie
written produced and directed by others
it's a horror film really
they'll disarm you empty the prisons
lock you in your home
and invite ms-13 to live next door and
the police aren't coming when you call
and democrat-run cities they're already
being defunded
disbanded blaming our best and
allowing society's worst that's the
story they write in hollywood
that's if the lights even stay on in
california anymore
a state that cannot keep power running
for its own people
should not send its junior senator to be
vice president
they used to write only in fiction but
nightmares
are becoming real cops killed
children shot at the democrat convention
they say
if you vote against trump it will all
stop
appeasement is never a winning strategy
no we won't settle for violence in our
neighborhoods or at our border
we won't settle for decades of bad
decisions by basement dwelling joe biden
we settle a continent we know that the
frontier the horizon
even the stars belong to us donald trump
like all builders
is a visionary that which is built in
the mind is
even more powerful than the brick and
mortar that holds it together
first comes the mind then the making
first comes the vision
then the work washington lincoln and
jefferson are immortal
precisely because of the pull they have
on our imagination
you cannot cancel a culture that loves
its heroes
the dangerous left need america to be
weaker to accomplish their goal of
replacing her
we know that to make america great again
we must first make something
of ourselves that is the meaning of true
strength
my great-grandfather was a railroad man
as a florida man i watch our rockets
routinely send
the brightest beyond the heavens with
our flag and our hope
america is the greatest country that has
ever existed
don't let any celebrity athlete or
politician tell you otherwise
president trump sometimes raises his
voice and a ruckus
he knows that's what it takes to raise
an army of patriots
who love america and will protect her
we must win this election if we cherish
our country as much as we should
for there is no place to run no refuge
for freedom should we fail
america is not just an idea or a
constitution
it is our home we must protect our home
with unbreakable made in america
strength
strength i see every day in president
donald trump
thank you
my name is kim klasik and i'm running
for congress in maryland 7th district
and like shirley chisholm i'm unbought
and unbossed
let me remind you the democrats have
controlled this part of baltimore city
for over 50 years
and they run this beautiful place right
into the ground
abandoned buildings liquor stores in
every corner drug addicts guns on the
street
that's now the norm in many
neighborhoods you think
maryland taxpayers would be getting a
whole lot since our taxes are out of
control
instead we're paying for decades of
incompetence and corruption
sadly the same cycle of decay exists and
many of america's democrat-run cities
and yet the democrats still assume that
black people will vote for them no
matter how much they let us down and
take us for granted
we're sick of it we're not going to take
it anymore
the days of blindly supporting the
democrats are coming to an end
in baltimore we have the highest number
of black republicans in the entire
country running for
office this election cycle joe biden
believes we can't think for ourselves
that the color of someone's skin
dictates their political views we're not
buying the lies anymore
you and your party have neglected us for
far too long we want safety in our
neighborhoods
we want to make the most of the federal
opportunity zone i'm standing in right
now in west baltimore
we want higher paying jobs and more
business opportunities
we want lower taxes we want school
choice we want a chance to get ahead not
just get by
that's what president trump promised and
that's what president trump delivered
i want baltimore to be an example to
republicans around the country
that we can compete in our inner cities
if we reach out to the citizens and
deliver real results
president trump is bringing this country
back roaring
he's bringing the american spirit to
life for all americans
so i'm asking you to help president
trump
complete this great american comeback
and then i'm asking you
to help me start this great baltimore
comeback thank you and god bless america
[Music]
good evening i'm ronna mcdaniel
chairwoman of the republican national
committee
and on behalf of everyone in our party
and president trump
thank you for tuning in as we kick off
this historic
convention as we speak to you tonight
we send our thoughts and prayers to
those facing terrible fires in
california
recovering from storms in iowa and
preparing for hurricanes
in louisiana and the gulf coast
democrats started their convention last
week with eva longoria
a famous hollywood actress who played a
housewife on tv
well i'm actually a real housewife and a
mom
from michigan with two wonderful kids in
public school
who happens to be the only only the
second woman in 164 years to run
the republican party and unlike joe
biden
president trump didn't choose me because
i'm a woman
he chose me because i was the best
person
for the job four years ago president
trump started a movement
unlike any other and over the next four
days we will hear from a few of the
millions of hard-working
everyday americans who have benefited
from his leadership
if you watched the dnc last week you
probably noticed
that democrats spent a lot of time
talking about how much they despise our
president
but we heard very little about their
actual
policies policies that would have been
unthinkable
a decade ago policies like banning
fossil fuels
eliminating private health insurance
taxpayer-funded health care for people
who come here
illegally and defunding the police
their argument for joe biden boiled down
to the fact that they think
he's a nice guy well let me tell you
raising taxes on 82 percent 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's only one person who has
empathized with everyday americans
and actually been fighting for them over
the past four years
and that is president donald trump
in the nearly four years i've worked on
behalf of president trump
i've seen up close a man who has a deep
love for family
a man who has reverence for the office
of the presidency
a man with an incredible respect for law
enforcement in our military
i've seen private moments where he
comforts americans
in times of pain and sadness
now everyone knows he can be tough he's
tough when he takes on china
tough when he works to fix our unfair
trade deals
tough when he fights to secure our
borders president trump
is always going to be tough when he is
fighting for the american people
because nice guys like joe cared 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 has inspired the world for
generations
and when we reelect 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

going anywhere because we

america first again america

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
[Music]
[Music]
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 when coveted 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 covert relief nurse
in both states as i contended 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
covenanting 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 healthcare
professional
i can tell you without hesitation donald
trump's quick action and leadership
saved thousands of lives during
covenanting
and the benefits of that response extend
far beyond coronavirus
telehealth will continue to aid many
that are just unable to find
transportation
or away 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 life-saving 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 family's first coronavirus
response act
ensuring that american families and
businesses impacted by the virus
receive the strong support they need
launching
operation warf 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 all literally
are helping us in a big way
we were at the edge and this is life or
death stuff and we're forever thankful
for that
soon we will emerge safer stronger
and greater than ever
i am dr g e golly an oral and
maxillofacial surgeon
and chancellor of a large academic
medical 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 covet
himself
the covet 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
in 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 covid19
let me give you three clear examples
of how president trump's leadership
removed regulatory barriers
so covet patients could have faster
access to effective therapies and
diagnostics
first on february 26 two
phase three clinical trials studying rem
desevere
were initiated just two months later
the fda approved room desevere for
emergency use to treat covet 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 covet 19 convalescent plasma
within 24 hours of this approval we were
administering
convalescent plasma and room desevere 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 abbot 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
room desevere 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 front-line workers
who risked their own health and 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 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
a fireman uh policemen we want to thank
you all you've been incredible
and we want to thank you and all of the
millions of people that you represent
thank you all very much great job thank
you

tell me a little about your stories how
about we'll start with you

senior community during
cove 19. good and we're taking good care
of our postal workers

getting rid of our postal workers you
know they'd like to

good evening i'm congressman jim jordan
representing the fourth 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 values 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
and 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 50 years out of the
iran deal embassy in jerusalem hostages
home from north korea
a new u.s mca agreement and 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's 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've 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
and that's why i'm busting my tail to
help him get reelected
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 hershel 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 ranting to
him from time to time
i'm talking about a deep personal
friendship
i watched him as an owner of a
professional football team
right after he bought the team he set
out to learn
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 board room he can
be in the middle of a big meeting
but if one of the kids was on the phone
he dropped 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 retreated 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 herschel
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 they was in a business suit on uh
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 call donald
the worst one is racist i take it as a
personal insult that people would think
i've had a third or seven year
friendship with the races
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 those
things
so does donald trump he shows how much
he cares about social justice in the
black
community through his actions and his
actions speaks louder than stickers or
slogans on new jersey
he keeps right on fighting to improve
the lives of black americans
and all americans he worked 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 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
almost all by himself on a 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
good 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 a victim of a
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 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
for there 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 even more
families
kidney patients would have no future
except
dying on wait lists for there be no
initiative to increase donations
there'd still be no accountability at
the va 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'd be no price transparency we
wouldn't have health plans up to 60
percent 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
whose 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 what
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
sacrifice 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 third we are going to
keep
america great
[Music]
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've 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 kente cloths around
the u s capital 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 exact
my parents robin and roofer jones built
with their own hands
a four-room cinderblock 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 hallowed halls of the georgia
general 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
and 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 imported
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 10 years
something that has 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 ensure that
no child
no matter their race or zip code is left
behind every child should have access to
a quality education
but education is just the beginning the
president 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 interest 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 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 forego
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 a 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
[Music]
in 2018 a gunman walked into marjory
stoneman douglas high school in parkland
florida
and changed my life forever my name is
andrew pollock
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
graduating 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 a 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
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 bs
then the president did what he said he
would do he took action
he formed the 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
went to a coordinated attack on
president 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 as part of his unity platform
with bernie sanders and has pledged to
implement in school districts across
america but he doesn't even seem to know
when the shooting happened
he said that 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 14 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 reelected
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
a curfew not effect for the city of
saint louis protests in saint louis
turned violent
mark mccloskey says he and his family
have been threatened with violence
under missouri law you have a right to
defend your home and the lives of your
family research warrant has been
executed at the home of mark and
patricia mccleskey
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 mccloskey 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've 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 ball horn
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
representatives
in the city of st louis that's the same
as winning the general election
that marxist revolutionary is now going
to be
the congresswoman from the first
district 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
forestry zoning would bring crime
lawlessness and low-quality apartments
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 reelect donald
trump
god bless you god bless the president
and god bless you the united states
[Music]
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 my mother mercedes
was a special education teacher from
aguadilla 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
an immaculate environment and the
democrats turned it into a land of
discarded heroin needles and parks
riots and streets and blackouts and
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 solemni 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 emancipates and lifts you up 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
hard-working 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 hard-working
people of this great nation
it's going to take that kind of bold
leadership to get us out of this coveted
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 and 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 10 2006 our platoon was attacked
just after dawn
outnumbered ten to one 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
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 joe's
intent to dismantle the second amendment
and take your guns 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 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 heretic
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
we come together to imagine a future
determined by the shining light of our
hopes and values
and faith
[Music]
a country where we are judged by our
character with dignity and 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
[Music]
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
we all know that it is easy to criticize
it takes a true leader
to solve problems covert 19
while others criticize without solutions
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
are finally back on u.s soil after being
held captive in north korea we're
following some breaking news in turkey
where an american pastor andrew brunson
has been released an american jailed in
egypt is back in the us 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 in despair for
news of their loved ones
president trump provided a new spark of
hope
by bringing our hostages home we have
danny burch back home where he should be
he was in
yemen in a very horrible situation
yesterday the united states government
secured the release of caitlyn coleman
joshua boyle and their three children
today we are
bringing home another american citizen
we just had news that turkey
released a prisoner that 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
[Music]
we have six incredible people who were
held hostage by various countries
and i'm very pleased to let everybody
know that we brought back over 50
hostages from
22 different countries we worked very
hard on it
ambassador o'brien and others and i will
tell you we uh

i'd like to ask maybe
pastor brunson to say a few words so we
can go through and
just give us a little history of what
happened and how is life treating you
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

that i may still be in turkey
so i'm very grateful for 28 years right
they had you there for
they had you scheduled for a long time
andrew we had to get you back and i have
to say that to me
president erdogan was very good and i
know they had you scheduled for a long
time and 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 grace
it's great to have you back andrew thank
you
please mr president thank you for having
me my name is sam goodwin i'm from st
louis missouri

anything to be home safely

opportunity to be here

trap and i was apprehended there
i went through a lot in their injustice

moran is an oppressive extortionist
terrorist regime you know what i'm

india i was not going to india i was
going through india to nepal
i've been working for the last 18 years
but on behalf of my family
myself thank you uh president trump for
getting us out and getting us home
the darkest moment of our whole time
together
uh your letter to my wife came and it
really gave her the hope and the peace
and it'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 that
we really would get to come home because
they had planned on keeping me for
three to five years the original charge
thing was three to five years right and
that was cleared and then they came up
with new charges to do a seven-year
term india responded very well to my
request
so we appreciate that and i appreciate
everything y'all did
thank you all for being with us we have
a few more people we want to get back

appreciate it great stories
hello my name is maximo alvarez
i live in miami florida not far from the
state of florida
which isn't just a 90 mile white blue
strip on a map for me it divides freedom
from fear
it divides the past from the press from
the future
i know all about the past i'll never
forget my own my family
has fled totalitarianism and communism
more than once first my dad from spain
then from cuba but my families don't run
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'll never be as
low against me
i'm speaking to you today because my
family is done abandoning
what we rightfully earned there is no
place to hide
speaking to you today because president
trump
may not always be politically correct
he's in fact
a successful businessman your average
career politician
our president is just another family man
a friend
and 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
and 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
and i am here to tell you we 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 suffered
and starved and died because they
believe 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 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 false
promises spread the wealth
free education free health care
to fund the police trust a social estate
more than your family and your community
they don't sound radical to my ears
they sound familiar
and 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 watched the news in seattle
chicago poland and other cities
when i see the history being rewritten
when i hear the promises
of her echoes 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 somebody member not some government
official
not some bureaucrats 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 a 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 dc swamp
i have no doubt that will hand the
country over to those dangerous forces
you and i will decide
and here's what i've 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 i made a good lord bless
america
the democrats are just going more and
more left many positive about socialism
liking it more than capitalism
many of the ideas we fought for that
were considered
radical are now mainstream the
compromise
that uh they came up with if implemented
will make biden the most progressive
president
uh since fdr the radical left has taken
over the democratic party
and joe biden is marching in lockstep
with them
biden and the far left are promising to
crush middle-class families
with trillions in new taxes if you elect
me your taxes are going to be raised not
cut
promising amnesty and health care for 11
million
illegal immigrants citizenship for 11
million undocumented folks
promising to shut down energy
exploration killing jobs
and hurting america's
in economy biden's america the radical
left get whatever they want
and you get to pay for it they've
already taken over joe biden and the
democratic party
don't let them take over america
good evening i'm nikki haley and it's
great to be back at the republican
national convention
i'll 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
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 gene
kirkpatrick's words
are just as true today
joe biden and the democrats are still
blaming america first donald trump
has always put america first and he has
earned
four more years as president
it was in honor of a lifetime to serve
as the united states ambassador to the
united nations
now the u.n is not for the faint of
heart
it'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 all of that with his leadership
we did what barack obama
and joe biden refused to do we stood
up for america and we stood against
our enemies obama and biden let north
korea threaten america
president trump rejected that weakness
and we
passed the toughest sanctions on north
korea in history
obama and biden let iran get away with
murder
and literally sent them a plane full of
cash
president trump did the right thing and
ripped up
the 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 he's a godsend
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 in 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 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
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 socialists 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'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's now
fashionable
to say that america is racist that
is a lie america is not
a racist country
this is personal for me i am the proud
daughter of indian immigrants
they came to america and settled in a
small southern town
my father wore a turban my mother wore a
sorry
i was a brown girl 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've been shot in
the line of duty
they matter the black small business
owners who've watched their lives work
go up in flames they
matter the black kids who've 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
there's one thing i've 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
reelect president donald trump
thank you good night and may god always
bless
[Music]
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 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
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 pp e to our brave frontline
workers
and he rallied the mighty american
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 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've spent the entire pandemic
trying to sneak a tax break for
millionaires and democrat states into
the coveted 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 goodbye manufacturing
jobs
beijing biden is so weak on china that
the intelligence community recently
assessed
that the chinese communist party favors
biden
they know he'll weaken us both
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
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
and keep it in the swamp that makes
sense though considering
joe biden is basically the loch ness
monster of the swamp
for the past half century he's been
lurking around in there
he sticks his head up every now and then
to run for president
then he disappears and doesn't do much
in between
so if you're 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'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
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's 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 the
minority owned
are being torched by mobs the democrat
mayors pretend it's 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 communities 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 9-1-1 we don't want it
going to voicemail
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 and
underserved communities instead of
bowing to big money union bosses
they'd let parents choose what school is
best for their kids
they'd limit immigration to protect
american workers
they'd support the police who protect
our neighborhoods
they'd learn how to negotiate trade
deals that prioritize america's
interests 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 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 partiality
you can have it imagine a world where
the evils of communism and radical
islamic terrorism
are not given a chance to spread where
heroes are celebrated and the good guys
win
you can have it that is the life
that is the country that is the world
that donald trump and the republican
party are
after and yes you can have it
because unlike joe biden and the radical
left democrats
our party is open to everyone
it starts by rejecting 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
[Music]
i'm catalina lauf i work in the
political space
and i'm madeline lau and i'm the founder
of vegan health a children's nutritional
company we grew up in a really small
town outside of chicago
our mom's from guatemala our dad's a
small business owner from chicago
and so we brought two different cultures
together to create us
a little bit of crazy and a little bit
of fun
yes they taught us the values of hard
work liberty
to love this country unapologetically
our dad is a beekeeper and just had so
many different things out in the
countryside and it was just such a sweet
week
selling honey at farmers markets so
my line was uh have you ever been stung
by a bee
but really it was teaching us again
entrepreneurship
small business self-reliance and that
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 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 know you define your own destiny
through personal responsibility through
hard work
through having a moral value system
that's the american dream and
president trump's providing that for
everybody
look at my business begin health as a
small startup that is growing and
launching we are
constantly trying to innovate and the
big challenge that cobit brought that we
just didn't see coming was that
just almost everything kind of just shut
down and when you are a small startup
and you have limited funding
and the funding is really only to kind
of get you to that next milestone
we were really struggling and so we were
able to
apply for a ppp loan which really helped
allow
us to continue hiring and working and
developing our products so that we could
ultimately still launch
it's now more than ever so important to
have a president and administration that
understands that small business is the
backbone of our economy
tax custom jobs act 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
actually understands the need for
small businesses like my sisters to
survive
we aren't the stereotypical conservative
i mean we're
we come from hispanic descent and we're
millennial women
and that's not what the media wants
and so somebody like aoc alexander
ocasio-cortez this far
left these women come out with these
very
very destructive political ideologies
that are trying to infiltrate
millennials and the next generation
i've decided to step up and say well we
need a counter voice to these women
there has been an assault on capitalism
just generally and i think it's very
scary to
imagine a biden world where the
progressive wing
ideas are starting to take front and
center stage
you know that will really choke the
american economy
there will be over-regulation over
taxation
it's very hard to innovate through those
two things
and ultimately what's really sad is the
thought of you know making all of us
dependent on the government
and we are not going to allow that
i've 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 i
mean this the rioting the crime
freedom is at stake now and this is
going to be
the most important election of our
lifetime
we want to preserve the america that our
mother came here for
having a thriving economy that is
keeping america great and president
trump has delivered on that promise
he's truly fighting for the american
people
we're the greatest country in the world
period on our worst day
we're still the greatest country in the
world and in order to preserve that
it's by putting america first
having a thriving economy having
happiness
[Music]
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 picture
tonight
but our country is experiencing
something none of us envisioned
from a global pandemic to the deaths of
george floyd and brianna 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 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 negotiations because they wanted
the issue more than they wanted a
solution
do we want a society that breeds success
or a culture that cancels everything it
even slightly
disagrees with i know where i stand
because you see
i am living my mother's american dream
my parents divorced when i was seven
years old
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 felt
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
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
john moniz 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 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
dollars
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.
rest assured the 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 the 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's ark always 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 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-coveted 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
mothers taxes
70 percent on average president trump
supported these tax cuts
for those single moms and other working
families
and sign 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've done
this election is about your future and
it is critical to paint a full
picture of the records of donald trump
and joe biden joe biden said if a black
man 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 nations
historically black colleges
and universities keeping 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 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 lower
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 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 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
[Music]
you
