Trump thank you. It is great to be joined by a number of champions for americans veterans, including secretary of education betsy devos. Betsy . Betsy, doing a great job. Deputy v. A. Secretary james byrne. James, thank you. Great job. A man who has really done a great job, i do not know if the is always appreciated, that he has done an incredible job, and your state is doing phenomenal business, and i want to take all of the credit, but i cant, because he has done a lot, too, because he has been a truly great governor, matt bevin. Thank you, matt. Kentucky has had record numbers some of the best theyve ever had in any category. It is a really incredible thing. And a man that i just watched on television, he is so good. Congressman thomas massie, where is thomas . Good job. Thomas, say hello to our friends back in washington. That was a good job. I just watched you. I cannot come to kentucky without also praising the exceptional work of senator mitch mcconnell. [applause] pres. Trump i have to tell you, this guy is a true fighter for our veterans and for kentucky. He has worked tirelessly to enact massive tax cuts, record defense spending, and that crucial be a reform that i was just talking about. And i have to think about all the things with respect to mitch, mitch is a good person, has let his leadership in the senate, we confirmed, think of it, almost 150 federal judges to hold our nations beloved constitution and the foundation of american freedom, and mitch and i have worked very hard. Were up to 150. Within two months, we will be at 179 federal judges and two Supreme Court judges. [applause] pres. Trump and it is your senator, and for him, that is a passion like i have never seen before. There is nothing more important. When i became president , they said the most important thing you can do is judges, and they said Supreme Court justices, and as you know, we have named two Supreme Court justices, justice kavanagh, justice gorsuch. I want to congratulate mitch mcconnell, and you have him come and he is a champion, and he fights hard. He really is something special, and he loves your state. I will be campaigning for mitch, and i will be campaigning for matt, and we are going to get them both back in. I just have to say, because mitch has been somebody very special, and matt knows that as well. This year, we commemorated the 75th anniversary of dday, june 6, 1944, when thousands of american patriots stormed the beaches of normandy and went incredible job. Today we celebrate amvets, who are 75 years of love and loyalty and Lifelong Service to our military personnel, to our veterans, and to their families. Congratulations. Thank you very much. [applause] pres. Trump thank you. Amvets posts across the nation has become pillars of pride in our community. So true. And shining symbols of the enduring power of the american spirit. Your support of our troops overseas, welcome them when they come back home, and you welcomed them, and you are there for them in every way, medically, physically, morally, you are with them all the way, and they appreciate it much more than you would even know. You safeguard our values, pass on our traditions, and teach generation after generation to love our country, honor our heroes, and always respect our Great American flag. [applause] pres. Trump we gather today at a truly incredible time for our nation. We are reawakening American Pride and american greatness. We are america first. [applause] pres. Trump it is about time, too. It is about time, wouldnt you say . American first. You did not used to hear that, right . You did not used to hear it at all. You hear a lot now. I dont think you will. Not this group. Not too many people in this country will feel that way. We are respected again as a nation. We are respected again. We are restoring the fundamental principles of government and first obligation, the highest loyalty is to our citizens. The loyal to our citizens really is the first obligation. No longer will we sacrifice americas interest to any foreign power. In all things, we are putting our country first. We are saying, lets say make America Great again, but we are almost there, make America Great again. We may have to switch it. You know what were going to switch it to . Huh . Yeah . That is right. I will not say it to you, because this is not a campaign speech. [laughter] [cheers and applause] pres. Trump i will not say keep America Great, but we are going to keep America Great. [cheers and applause] pres. Trump we are going to keep America Great. There is a lot of press back there. Look at all of them. Thats a lot of cameras going. Look at all the red lights down there. The red light means you are on. When the lights are off, people get a little sleepy back here. [laughter] pres. Trump nowhere is this allegiance more essential than fulfilling a duty to the American Warrior in the American Veterans. We are holding our nations solemn pledge to protect those who protect us, and they have protected us brilliantly. With americas core interests, guiding us as we do, we are making unprecedented strides. Our American Warriors pulverized the bloodthirsty killers of isis. We defeated 100 of the caliphate in syria. We are Holding Thousands of isis fighters right now, prisoners, and we are going to give them to where they came, europe, certain countries in europe, they have got to take them back, because we do not want to hold them. We are going to give them back. They have got to take them. They let us hold them for 50 years. We dont want them. They should take them. Do we agree . They should take them . [applause] pres. Trump they say to us, why dont you hold them in Guantanamo Bay for 50 years . And we spent billions of dollars taking them. Now europe has to take them and Different Countries where they came from have to take them. Do we agree with that . [applause] pres. Trump i am just curious as to what you thought. We withdrew from the horrible iran nuclear deal, horrible deal. [applause] pres. Trump we brought home the remains of our fallen north korean war heroes. We brought them home, so many of them. Many more are coming. So they can rest alongside their brothers and sisters in american soil. We believe in our sacred responsibility to ensure no one is left behind, right . [applause] pres. Trump we are rebuilding the awesome might of the United States military, whether it is big budgets, like i just described, and think of it thank you, thank you very much, i appreciate it and we are very proud of it. Very proud of it. Those in the military are proud, too. Beautiful, new, the best equipment in the world, we make the best planes, we make the best missiles, the best ships, we make the best everything. And it also, in this case, secondarily, it also happens to be made in the usa, each of it, and it is called jobs, jobs, jobs. That is secondary, but [applause] pres. Trump and the army will very soon have 300 powerful new m1 tanks. The navy is deploying the most advanced class of aircraft carriers in history, with hundreds of new f35s and f18s, american airmen will continue to own the skies wherever we fly. We have the greatest air force in the world. [applause] pres. Trump and we are preparing to dominate the newest warfighting domain by extending a sixth branch of the armed forces, it is called the space force. We need that. The space force. [applause] pres. Trump it is moving along through approval, and it has become very popular. People see it now more than they did two and a half years ago. They see it now, and know how important it is for defense and offense, and so forth. We delivered the largest pay raise for every sailor, airman, coast guardsman, and marine, one of the largest increases. [applause] pres. Trump our activeduty personnel are the best equipped, best trained, most technologically advanced fighting force in the history of the world. The best equipment in the world, the best training in the world. America is a peaceloving nation. We seek friendship, we seek harmony, not conflict and division, but if we are threatened, we will never hesitate to defend our people, as they should be defended. [cheers and applause] pres. Trump and if our enemies should dare to fight us, they will be crushed with overwhelming american might, no adversary stands a chance against the awesome power of the red, white, and blue. There is no military even close to ours. You read all sorts of things, well, maybe this country, maybe that it is only propaganda put out by different areas in Different Countries. There is nothing else close, and they all know it, and they tell me that. There is nobody close. And we have to keep it that way. And we dont want to use it, but we have to have it just in case, right . [applause] pres. Trump the members of our armed forces, and you understand that very well, the members of our armed forces have always lived by the word of douglas macarthur, in war, there is no substitute for victory. We have an armed forces that is unparalleled, and to achieve victory, there is no substitute for the unmatched character and courage of those who probably wear the nations uniform. And we even have different uniforms. Did you see some of the different designs of the uniforms . We are going back to a style and a look that nobody thought we would go back to, because of expense, and now we have brandnew, the most beautiful uniforms you have ever seen. But much more importantly, are the people who wear that uniform, what is inside that uniform that is much more important. Much more important. [applause] pres. Trump the best in the world. Every warrior who serves has poured out their hearts and souls for america. We believe their government must show them the same devotion, and return, and we have been doing that. At least for the last two and a half years, we have. Can you believe it is almost three years now . I have been saying two and a half years now for a number of months, and we are getting close to three. I will have to change it to three very soon. After years of neglect, we are fixing the heartbreaking failures from the last \administration at the \department of veterans affairs. America must never abandon our heroes in their hour of need. We will never do that. For that reason, i proudly signed into law the v. A. Accountability act. [applause] pres. Trump for years, they could not get it done, 50 years, and i will not blame unions, i wont blame civil servants, i will not blame any of it, but, man, was their power against it. And we got it done. People mistreat people in the v. A. , and we know what happens, vets the care they so richly deserve. 7,600. Think about it. They were treating some of them most of them are fantastic, but some of them were treating our people, our brave heroes so badly, sadistic, terrible people. They were terrible people, and they are gone. They are fired. 7,600. I did not know you are that vicious to get rid of so many. And everyone deserves to be out. That was a big deal. That was a hard one to get. [applause] pres. Trump and as i said, something i guess i am most proud of because, i dont know, accountability was very important. Some people think it was as important, maybe not, but most significantly, the v. A. Reforms, we did the veterans choice. I do not know which was more difficult. They were pretty much equal. But since i took office, nearly three million veterans have been able to choose a private doctor in their own community. And have you ever seen and this is a great tribute to the people at the v. A. , the people and the leadership of the v. A. I dont hear these horror stories. I used to see, growing up, i would see v. A. , v. A. , v. A. I dont know [laughter] pres. Trump i am not hearing bad stories, i am hearing all good stories, but the fake news, they will go find somebody in the system. They will find somebody. They will find somebody in this giant medical system, the largest system in the world, by far. They are going to find somebody that was not treated perfectly, and he will be on the top of the news tonight. We have breaking news. [laughter] pres. Trump we have also slashed wait times at the v. A. By more than 33 . That is a great thing. And the care is better. More importantly, the care is even better. A recent study published in the journal of American Medical Association found that wait times are now shorter for primary care at the v. A. Than at to improve the efficiency of the v. A. , i signed the veterans appeals improvement and modernization act. Do you know what that is . The v. A. Has pressed 1. 2 million claims and increased the number of appeals decisions by 70 compared to two years ago when i started doing this. That is a big number. [applause] pres. Trump we are modernizing your medical records to begin a seamless transition from the department of defense into the v. A. Something they said they couldnt do. They said, we cant do it. Its too complicated. We did it. The v. A. Has also cut opioid prescriptions by 30 over the last 2. 5 years. [applause] pres. Trump and we are committed to defeating the Opioid Epidemic in america. And i have instructed all of our people to give so many grants to lots of geniuses all over the country. I said, find a painkiller that is nonaddictive. Get a painkiller that when you break your arm and go to the hospital, you dont come out of the hospital addicted to opioids. Get a painkiller that is nonaddictive. We are closer than you think. We are closer than you think. [applause] pres. Trump our veterans are seeing dramatic improvements in the quality of care across the board. Patients trust increased at 92 of the va medical centers. 92 increase. We will not rest until we reach 100 . We will get there. [applause] pres. Trump probably there already. Probably there already. No issue facing our veterans is more urgent than ending the National Crisis of veteran suicide. [applause] pres. Trump my administration is determined to do everything in our power to save the lives of our heroes. If you think about whats going on, we have a new drug that came out. Johnson johnson. I know you are dealing very strongly with johnson johnson. They should make a contribution to the United States of america. They have something that really takes that horrible anxiety, whatever causes somebody to be so desperate to commit suicide. You take it. Its an inhaler. You take it. Its results are incredible. I dont know, longterm. It really has an incredible effect on a lot of people. Ive instructed the top officials to go out and get as much of it as you can from johnson johnson. And i think they have done so well. They have made so much money. I think they should give it to us for free. [applause] pres. Trump give it a shot. Give it a shot. Its incredible, actually. It does something pretty amazing. Its due. Its been approved. It has been fully approved. It has gone through a long process. It has been fully approved. We think that is going to have a great impact. We have secured a record 8. 6 billion for mental services. [applause] pres. Trump its a record. We opened the white house v. A. Hotline to ensure no claim ever again falls through the cracks. A lot of claims were having a lot of problems, going on for years. We work it out. The v. A. Is now providing sameday Emergency Mental Health care and Mental Health screenings to every patient that walks through the door. Its incredible. The difference between now and three years ago. It will require government and society at all levels working together. We have to Work Together with a lot of different groups and people. A lot of progress is being made. Things are happening. We must strive to build communities that serve, support, and protect our veterans from the very first moment they return to civilian life. Its an incredible adjustment. Thats exactly what we aim to achieve with the prevents initiative. Its a task force created earlier this year to unify the efforts of government, business, and nonprofit groups. We want to build on proven strategies like the amvets heal, you know what it is. Its an amazing partnership with the v. A. That has served over 600 families in crisis in the last year without a single life lost to suicide. Not one. [applause] pres. Trump to every veteran who is facing the struggle, i want you to know that you are not alone. We are with you. You are not forgotten. We are with you all the way. You are not beaten. You will overcome. You will prevail. You will triumph. You will thrive. You will thrive. A lot of progress has been made. So many different things, were making progress in. Millions of americans are right by your side. We are with you every single step of the way. One of those americans is someone that you know very well. Jim pigeon, a navy veteran and former National Commander of amvets. Wheres jim . [applause] pres. Trump come on up here, jim. For the past 1,257 consecutive days, jim has challenged americans to join him in doing 22 pushups. Dont challenge me. [laughter] pres. Trump dont make me do that. Representing the number of veterans whose lives thats the number of suicides per day. Can you believe it . I said, this cant be possible. You would think a year. A month. A day. Nobody believes it. Thousands of patriots have joined him in raising awareness. Together, they are summoning the national will to act. I want to thank jim. Jim, say a few words. Please. [applause] jim thank you. Mr. President , its an honor to be here. I would not be able to do this without the support and love and prayers of my beautiful wife, paulette. [applause] pres. Trump hes got strong arms. [laughter] pres. Trump its like a piece of steel. Thank you, jim. No one deserves the blessings of freedom more than the heroes who risk their lives to defend it. For this reason, my administration is worked aggressively to boost veteran employment, and we are setting records. Since my election, we have reduced the number of unemployed veterans by 37 . Thats pretty good. [applause] pres. Trump veteran unemployment has reached the lowest level ever recorded. [applause] pres. Trump same thing with africanamerican unemployment. Same thing with asian unemployment. Same thing with hispanic unemployment. Same thing with many other groups. It has been amazing. To every employer in america, if you are looking for a worker, of unrivaled skill, integrity, and devotion, all you have to do is hire a veteran. That is what is happening and they are doing it. [applause] pres. Trump i have a friend who has been doing it lately. He said, why didnt i do this 25 years ago . I said, thats your problem. Hes very happy. Every Service Member has the right to return to civilian life with dignity and security. Driven by this, we have helped 30,000 veterans find permanent housing over the last two years. 30,000. [applause] pres. Trump we have also expanded the g. I. Bill so that veterans can use their benefits to get an education at any point in their lifetime. A crucial reform to expand opportunity to veterans in every stage of their career. Thats a big thing. [applause] pres. Trump and today, im proud to announce that i am taking executive action to ensure that our Wounded Warriors are not saddled with mountains of student debt. In a few moments, i will sign a memorandum directing the department of education to eliminate every penny of federal Student Loan Debt owed by American Veterans who are completely and permanently disabled. [applause] [cheers and applause] pres. Trump incredible. Nobody can complain about that. Nobody can complain about that. The debt of these disabled veterans will be entirely erased. It will be gone. [cheers and applause] pres. Trump they will sleep well tonight. Altogether, this action will wipe out an average of 30,000 in debt owed by more than 25,000 eligible veterans who have made immense sacrifices. The ultimate sacrifice, in many ways. For our nation. They have made a sacrifice that is so great and are such incredible people. And they never complain. They never complain. Thats hundreds of millions of dollars in student debt held by our severely Wounded Warriors. It is gone forever. [applause] pres. Trump i want to thank secretary devos for her leadership in making veteran Debt Forgiveness a top priority for the department of education. Betsy, thank you very much. Stand up. Stand up.

All we have to do is sign it which we will do it that beautiful desk. Ok . [applause] pres. Trump today, im also calling upon all 50 states to immediately waive all applicable state taxes, as well.

And after that, a form on time a change with president ial candidates tim ryan and john cspan. Live here on and coming up tonight at 930 p. M. Eastern, we will bring you a conversation on campaign debates and how they are planned and why some candidates refuse to take part. Here is a preview. Political debate has been an integral part of the american political process at all levels. And yet, over the last decade, debates between candidates seeking Political Office has declined. Not for lack of effort as community and civic groups including the city club as well as television stations and other media organizations have organized debates only to have candidates often incumbents turned down invitations, refusing to debate their opponents or desiring highly choreographed abates. In 2006, the city club famously gubernatorial candidates after their refusal to participate in an unscripted debate. Debates, so tor speak, has gained momentum. The proliferation of social media, cable news, and other Online Platforms has given candidates opportunities to connect with audiences in ways that debates used to provide. Furthermore, when it comes to debates, there is often no agreedupon authority, no shared sense of what best practices are, and no clear idea as to what debates all to look like or strive to accomplish. All things we have seen in the recent debates among Democratic Candidates for the president of the United States. In an effort to preserve political debates as part of our democratic process, several states have created debate commissions with the goal to convene highquality debates that play a substantive role in informing citizens about issues and candidates on the ballot. In 2018, the Ohio Debate Commission was formed, joining indiana, utah, and washington as states with this type of statewide collaboration. How are they working . What should the future of debates look like . Entirecan watch this form on candidate debates from the city club of cleveland tonight at 9 30 p. M.
