Becausedefeat it, america is where innovation happens. We have developed vaccines in record time. We will defeated, because President Trump unleashed a Marshall Plan for mainstream. To get taxpayers back on their feet. We will defeat it, because tough times dont last. That americans do. That is what this election is all about. You, not us. Joe biden and Kamala Harris think this election is about government, the law. It is about your family, your future, and to secure what really matters. To call on the bedrock of what makes us the greatest country in the world, the american promise. And promise everyone is equal under god. Under the constitution and under the law. And promise that government is accountable to we, the people. That if you work hard, your opportunities are endless. As republicans, it is our mission to renew the American Dream. Andore our way of life rebuild the greatest economy in the world. The socialist democrats have a different agenda. They will dismantle our institution. Defund our police. Destroy our economy. As you cast your vote this november, remember this, for years ago, 4 years ago, trump made a promise to be your voice. He kept that promise, but there is so much more to do. The choice before you could not be clear. Forward as freedom, backward is socialism. Forward is prosperity, backward as poverty. Forward and personal liberty, backwards and more government control. I know in which direction i am headed. For the best is yet to come. Hello. 20 years ago, i moved to washington, d. C. To attend howard university. Just like crossroads, america is today. In cleveland, a bluecollar street in a bluecollar city. When the media talks about forgotten places, or workingclass people, who were overlooked and struggling hard, are overlooked and struggling hard, they never seem to show people like my mom, who worked two jobs at the gas station as a clerk. My mom showed me how to persevere. They never seem to show people ine my dad, who plowed snow the winter and paved streets in the summer. Who stood by me through thick and thin and taught me strong values everyday. They never seem to show people like me. At first, i didnt live the values my parents taught me. I a starting spot on the for city football team, but i only had a 1. 9 gpa. But then, i broke my leg. Leg for me toen really get moving in life. I prioritized schoolwork, what inard went to howard, and that up working for the president of the United States. Ended up working for the president of the United States. Up, i believed all the stereotypes. It took a meeting, republicans who shared my values, to show me i was wrong. Donald trump knows that in the work of revitalizing communities, americas strength is americas people. And i can tell you, he really cares. And he takes action. Important to black communities have been a priority for him. Prison reform, rebuilding broken families, bringing jobs back to america, jobs in cleveland, and traitt, in the in detroit, in milwaukee. Securedwhat he permanent funding for historic black colleges and universities and is fighting hard for School Choice. Murder ofe of the ahmaud arbery, george floyd, and National Moment of racial consciousness. I have seen his true consciousness. I just wish everyone would see the deep sympathy he shows the families whose loved ones were killed due to senseless violence. President trump has made it clear that if you want safe communities, you must have Police Departments with the highest standards. The roadver forget were the people of cleveland. They are tough, smart, and tell it like it is. That is President Trump. For a new yorker, hes got a lot of cleveland heart. And im proud to say that he is my president. God bless america. People assume that if i am not a democrat anymore, that i must be a republican or must be conservative. I still consider myself a liberal, but liberalism changed. I dont fit there anymore. Up, we black kid growing were taught that you had to support democrats, because republicans were for what people supporting the rich. Im a democrat. My parents are democrats. I was a huge obama supporter. I voted for Bernie Sanders. I was a socialist. It wasnt until i got married and began expecting our own family that i began to question whether or not the things that we were really promoting and supporting were in line with the way we were living. That was when the shift kind of began for us. I was renting a room. Fromad three or four kids three or four different fathers, she was my age. Most of them were incarcerated. Offeels like democrats sort get people hooked on this drug of free money, where they basically say if you want your fix, you have to keep voting for us. This bold man comes down the escalator in new york city. Deep down inside, i knew it would be the first republican i would vote for. His entire campaign worked for all americans. That was a turning point for me. One of the hardest things to do is to challenge your unbelief. Go straight your own belief. Go straight to the source. I want people to hear my story and know that you can actually go from being a democraticsocialist to a trump supporter, but you have to look deeper. I think theres a political realignment taking place. Have always been very antiwar. I am very much for prespeech. For free speech. He is a profreespeech candidate. Everywhere you look, you either say prosperity and liberty and things you want to preserve, or if you are a democrat, you see something you want to tear down and remake in the image of some other country not as successful as we are. It took me a good, long time to get here, but i hope that trump wins and that we can continue with the progress he has made and the policies hes put into place, get our economy back on track and move in the right direction. Good evening. My name is jeff. I speak to you as a member of the Republican Party. But it wasnt always that way. How i became a republican says a lot about todays Democratic Party. Where wesouth jersey, work hard, look after our neighbors, and care about her communities. About our communities. Use ago, i was asked by the democrats to run for a town council seat. I had my doubts. Wereined to them my views middleoftheroad to conservative, but the Democratic Party was a big tent, and they accepted people like me. I was elected to counsel is a democrat. As a democrat. But as i won seats, state legislature, then congress, i noticed things were changing. The Democratic Party has become less accepting of american tradition, less believing in american exceptionalism, less supportive of traditional faith and family. This was not the party that i knew. In 2018, after being elected to congress as a democrat, i was already uncomfortable with the San Francisco liberal running the house. Which is why my first vote in congress was cast against nancy pelosi for speaker. But imagine how i felt after seeing members of the squad quickly take control of the Democratic Party just weeks after being elected. The party had moved from liberal to radical. This new Democratic Party wasnt just for higher taxes, they were for open borders, against our police, and against our godgiven rights. When the radical democrats went after President Trump with impeachment, they made another mistake. Democratic leaders told me that i had to vote for impeachment, or my life would be made difficult. And i wouldnt be allowed to run again. Im from south jersey, you better come at me with more than just words and empty threats. I voted no on impeachment. It was an easy call. Soon after, i met with President Trump. He made me feel more comfortable. A few days later, i officially changed parties and i became a republican. Let me tell you about joe biden. When the democrats tried to order me around, i was ready, illing, and able to say, have had enough with the radical, socialist agenda. Do you really believe joe biden is ready, willing, and able to do the same . As joe says, come on, man. Joe biden is being told what to do by the radicals running my former party, the same medicals trying to radicals trying to install him as their local president. I tell people that america is the best nation in the world, and that President Trump has helped make it that way. Republicans, independence, and even democrats all know that. America, we trumps have strong military, strong support for police, strong support for veterans and strokes of work for seniors. WePresident Trumps america, have a strong supply chain, good schools, we are energy independent, and we protect our environment. Whoe are a lot of democrats support our president and are disgusted for what their old party, what mild party has become what my old party has become. Here is my advice. Be true to who you are now. Not who the democrats used to be. That is why im a proud republican and why i will be voting for donald trump. Thank you, and may god bless you, bless our president , and the United States of america. For me, the most important issue is jobs. You need to be able to pay our bill pay a bill. I trust donald trump way more than i do joe biden. There is no doubt donald trump has built the strongest economy we have ever seen. I know he will do it again. Joe biden doesnt have the energy. His ideas, like raising taxes, will hurt us. Electing joe biden as the president is a huge risk. I dont want the future of my son in the hands of joe biden. I want my son to be able to go out and get a good education. I want the economy to be strong. I want the country that he lives in to be safe. And i want our borders to be secure. I dont want that in joe bidens hands. Donald trump has built a strong us economy we have ever seen. ,e has made our country safe and as a mom, those are things that i am very proud of and those are things that are very important to me when i am looking for a president. I am sticking with donald trump. Im a single mother of two boys and a work in Houston Texas with engineers and constructors. After serving my country in the marine corps, i worked various jobs. I thought i needed a degree in order to have a career. I put myself into significant debt to earned my bachelors degree in finance. One point, my board we found ourselves homeless. I was a bit skeptical at first, but i thought, i should be willing to take a chance on myself. At the start of the program, i was making 16 an hour while i trained to to the position. It was not easy, but was it worth it. I was learning new skills and was able to support my family again. I worked hard, got promoted and even got a few raises. President trump started the National Council for the American Worker and the American Workforce policy advisory board. He wrote policies that made it easy for states and companies to give opportunities to hardworking americans like me. President and ivanka partner to launch a website helping to commend workers with commit workers with training apprenticeship programs where they live. If you find yourself in a situation like mine where you feel like you have nowhere to turn, nothing to fall back on, you feel like no one believes in you, go online to find somethingnew. Org. President trump believes in you, and more importantly, believe in yourself. Remember, just a few years ago, i was homeless. Now, i have a brandnew home at the end of the month. My message to you is, keep pushing. You can do it. Find a Training Program like the one i participated in. Like me, you have an opportunity to build a career you are proud of. I would like to talk to you about a different kind of change. This is the trump campaigns National Week of volunteer training. You know how important it is to put americans back to work. Comtrumpvictory and keep the president fighting for you for another four years. Thank you and god bless. When i was 16 years old, i got a parttime job at a golf course just outside of new york city. One day, i was cleaning golf clubs, when a man pulled into the parking lot. There was not a Single Person who did not know who it was. Were on theaws ground. It was donald trump. All i could think was, nobody will believe this at school tomorrow. I have now been at President Trumps site from a 30 years. All these years later, theres a part of me that still feels a sense of wonder every day when i consider the journey we have taken together. And taken with so many of you watching tonight. My personal story with donald trump in so many ways is yours, too. Me, a spark. Ial in the possibility that i could be more, do more, and achieve more than even i thought was possible. Thats how he views this country, too. We have all scratched the surface of how of what we can do together. Trump is a kind and decent man. With me toould be see his endless kindness to everyone he meets. Be a fogng could machine creating a partisan mist around everything that is hard to see through. But in 2016, you navigated through it all. You found your way through the swamp and you arrived safely on the other side. With donald j. Trump is your new president as your new president. There are some things that were todayhen that remain true as to why you chose them as your leader. The president cannot be bought. The American People must know the president is not building his life. He is building yours. He knows the president cannot be bullied. President trump is the first leader who has been too strong, to tough, and to savvy to be crushed by the status quo establishment too tough and savvy to be crushed by the status of the proestablishment media. Hes got a fighting spirit, like so many of you do. Winning for america is what he does. While they called it chaos, President Trump calls a change. Think about what we achieved together. The strongest economy in history. The lowest Unemployment Rate for almost all demographic groups, black americans, hispanic americans, women, and so many more. He did that once, and he will do it again. You know it, and i know it. Will on the somebody to believe in our capacity to do great things. Donald trump believed in me when i was a teenage golf caddy. He was already one of the wealthiest, most famous people on the entire planet. He saw my potential even when i couldnt. He sees greatness in our country, too. And in each of you. He believes the world you dream about at night can be yours. He truly is a man of the people. Just think about when he has done with this convention. You heard from real americans with real stories. People who are just like us. People whose lives have been forever impacted by the president and his policies. You have heard from people like john peterson, has a factory in ohio who has a factory in ohio. Jason joyce, a fisherman from maine. Chris peterson, a dairy farmer from wisconsin. You see a man who turned his life around, get a Second Chance with a president ial you felt the passion of prolife and religious freedom advocates. On november 3, vote for the man who believes in america and believes in you. For my friend, your friend, our friend, donald j. Trump. Thank you, and god bless the United States of america. Senator mcconnell good evening. It is an honor to come to you tonight from the commonwealth of kentucky. I consider it my responsibility to look out for the middle of america. This election is consequential for middle america. President trump inherited the first generation of americans who couldnt promise their children a better life than their own. Hisas made it a mission of administration to change that. I know, because i have worked beside him every day. Todays democrat doesnt want to improve life for middle america. They prefer all of us in flyover lettry keep flying, and them decide how we should live our lives. They want to tell you when you can go to work, when your kids can go to school, they want to tax your job out of existence and then send you a government check for unemployment. They want to tell you what kind of our you can drive, what sources of information are credible, and even how many hamburgers you can eat. They want to defund the police and take away your Second Amendment rights. They want Free Health Care for Illegal Immigrants yet they offer no protection for unborn americans. They want to pack the Supreme Court with liberals intent on eroding our constitutional rights, and the want of 5 and they want to quantify all this by making the swamp americas 51st states. We cant undo the damage they have done. Now you understand why democrats spent a week telling us about who joe biden is, not what he intends to do. Im proud of the work the Republican Senate has done. We are the firewall against Nancy Pelosis agenda. Like President Trump, we wont be bullied by a liberal media intent on destroying americas institutions. We will stand our post on be half of the millions of americans whose stories are told in the newspapers, whose struggles are just as real. We will continue to support American Families as we defeat the coronavirus and return our economy to the envy of the world. The stakes have never been higher. Which is why i am asking you to support Republican Senate candidates across the country and reelect my friend, President Donald Trump. To all these titans of american sport, know that many valuable lessons are learned on the field competition and the ability to overcome adversity. [inaudible] and your relentless will to win, win, these qualities embodied the americans. Of pushing boundaries, defying limits, and always striving for greatness. You stay in the fight, you finish the fight, often bumpy roads lead to beautiful places. This rate delving is celebrating great people this great building is celebrating great people. [laughter] [applause] it is our honor to be in the company of great, great champions. [applause] we cant wait to see what is next. Never give up. Never lose faith. Never, ever quit just keep forging ahead. Give everything you have got. Victory is always within reach. White, president of the usc. Many of you know what i do, and i am friends with the president. I spoke at this convention four years ago and i am back because i believe we need President Trumps leadership now more than ever. Before the pandemic, President Trump built the greatest economy and our history and created opportunities for all americans like one before him. Financial markets hit alltime highs, unemployment was at an alltime low, and we werent facing the lawless distraction that now is occurring in a few of our great cities. It blows my mind how quickly some of the leadership in this country has forgotten the Critical Role First Responders play in our society. Police departments and other Law Enforcement, even some fire departments, have faced opposition from many in this country, but they are always the people asked to step up when things are at their worst, and put themselves at risk. That has been the case during this pandemic. America, defunding these vital positions is not the answer. First responders have always taken care of us. And now, more than ever, we need to take care of them. Now, lets talk about covid and lets be very honest about it. No one place and could have anticipated the challenges that covid would bring, but President Trump placed all these obstacles faced all these obstacles headon. He immediately put protective measures in lace and reached out to the best and brightest leading american businesses across all industries to discuss what entS Administration could do to get the economy up and running safely. That may give you detail. In early april, President Trump organized a task force of business leaders, and i was fortunate enough to serve on that task force. Firsthand, i had the opportunity to witness how hardworking and interment president from was, to solve unprecedented problems our country was facing. I observed his ability to listen and understand issues impacting americans of all backgrounds. It was clear his highest priority was always the health and save the of every and safety of everyone in our country, not just republicans, not just supporters, but every single american. President trump recognized that one of the ways to instill normalcy peoples lives was to bring back entertainment. The president went above and beyond to help all sports leagues to figure out a way to overcome the challenges of staging live, professional sporting events in the middle of a pandemic. And we did it. First to do it and we are continuing to do it. Now, other sports have joined us. And some Lessons Learned are being used to help reopen other types of businesses and schools. Make no mistake about it. We still have a long way to go. That is why we need a leader with President Trumps unique attributes at this critical time. I have said it before and i will say it again, he is one of the most loyal human beings have ever met. The man has unstoppable energy. No one is going to out work this guy, but most of urgently, he loves and believes in our country. He believes in the people of this country. Lace place Everyone Wants a solid job, they want to take care of their family, take care of their community, assist the less fortunate done enjoy the freedom this country has provided to all of us. We have certainly experienced a ton of negativity into thousand 20, President Trumps mindset is andork to find solutions help restore america. He needed once and he can do it again. And remember, President Trump may be the only president in modern times who has actually done everything he said he would do during his campaign. Love is this quote that i from ronald reagan. He said, there isnt any problem we cant solve if government will give us the facts, tell us what needs to be done, then get out of the way and let us have at it. What that means is, as americans, we work hard to overcome adversity and face tough times headon, irrespective of your gender, race, religion or sexual oriented nation what unites us as a nation is freedom, equality, and opportunity. That is what it means to be an american. Ladies and gentlemen, lets reelect President Trump, figure out what the problems are, and continue to find solutions to those problems. Then, lets get to work. I would like to close with his. While it is critically important to reelect President Trump, this pandemic has also taught us to be very, very careful. Who you select as your next governor, senator, congressperson and mayor, it is so important about important to vote. Dont think your vote doesnt matter. It has never mattered more than it does right now. Thank you, and have a great evening, america. [speaking foreign language] good evening. Im a proud american and proud descendent of warrior ancestors, women and men alike, from my hawaiian, latino, japanese and spanish heritage. My father demonstrated his Warrior Spirit over 50 years ago, fighting a dictator in his homeland, the philippines. Barely escaping with his life, he started a new in america. He arrived with nothing but faith, determination, and a willingness to work hard. He lived the American Dream, building businesses, a family, and seeing the tops first minority statewide elected official. Today, i channel my warrior battling Human Trafficking. I have been able to lead some of the largest trafficking prosecutions in america, and traveled to Foreign Countries working with Law Enforcement and ngos to dismantle Trafficking Networks and rescue people from the most brutal conditions andinable, young earls women sold into sex slavery, young boys and men, forced into labor servitude, illegal adoptions, organ harvesting, human life debased. President donald trump is a fierce warrior against Human Trafficking. How do i know . Occasion to visit with him about our rescues. Westerns,nsightful expressed deep concern for victims, overwhelmed with compassion, he promised to attack people attack this people. Ivankant trump summoned and leaders of his cabinet to help victims, prosecute creditors and empower survivors. Together they have done more to combat Human Trafficking or than any other administration in history. Pt. T is a promise ke President Trump has taken similar, aggressive action to break the chains of drug addiction and mental and behavioral health. He declared the Opioid Epidemic a National Public Health Emergency and made available billions of dollars to confront this threat. He signed a bill creating a phone number like 911, but for mental health. Will be aated, 988 lifeline for those struggling with thoughts of suicide, depression, addiction, selfharm harm or even hurting others. It will save countless american lives. My father, mygo, warrior hero, lost his fight with cancer. When he passed, he had by his bedside his scriptures, family pen President Trump gave me to give him. Dad loved that pen. It represented freedom to him, the freedom that only exists when someone is willing to fight for it. To my father, President Trump is that ultimate warrior, fighting for freedom. If you listen to democrats, the media and liberal elites, they will tell you that americas light doesnt shine as brightly around world as it once did eerie deck is simply not true. As it once did. That is simply not rude. The same light that brought my father to america inspires the downtrodden equally today. I interact with some of the most marginalized victims on earth, and they love america. They left President Trump because he is fighting for their freedom in americas freedom. Thank you, President Trump. God bless you, and god bless america, this land of greatness.

Today we are one of the only u. S. Companies left to make our products from start to finish under one roof. We make things and we love it. 50 of ourt nearly business to china in the mid2000s, we wondered how a Small Company like ours could compete. Joe biden was a senator biden was a senator. He voted to normalize trade with china and pave the way to join the wto, even though they were hurting American Companies like ours. But we are to nations but we are tenacious and we are creative. We took a risk and did and purchased a 3d printer. A customersake idea from sketch to sample to production in just a weeks. This opened new opportunities for us. Later, we fought our way the great recession. Trump wasd elected, and we breathed a sigh of relief. He fought for American Workers and american craftsman. He actually cared about ringing back those three words about bringing back those three words, made in america. Now the government was on our side. We enjoyed a thriving economy stimulated by President Trumps probusiness central worker andcies probusiness proworker policies. Thanks to the trump tax cuts, i raise my employee wages, so they got a pay raise and a tax cut. Even in the face of the pandemic, the president tumbled the president doubled down on support business. Our is this was approved for the paycheck protection program, that allowed us to keep our people working at a time when the future was very uncertain. Our president understands the best solutions unleash the innovation of american entrepreneurs and the creativity of American Workers. Joe biden doesnt know anything about business or creating jobs. He spent 47 years in government. It is doubtful he will figure it year 48. Ur 48 in he wants to raise our taxes and bring back excessive regulation read i own a business Whose Mission it is to solve problems. Creativity takes courage, commit to and ideas, and those are all things that come naturally to president rob. And that President Trump. And that is what he has my support. He has my support. Judy my name is judy smith. My name is manwell martinez. My name is claudia perez. I live in new york city Public Housing. I am Resident Council resident at washington houses, which is in spanish harlem. I am the president of douglas houses. 3500 strong resident. Residents. I am a lifelong democrat. Blasio and the way he has dealt with Public Housing residents is disgraceful. This mayor has made our lives here and i think every housing development, very uncomfortable. Under the Trump Administration come of the new York City Housing Authority received an influx of cash it has teens and 1997 influx of since 1997. t seen i am grateful for the spotlight President Trump is putting on new york Public Housing. Democrats put immigrants before black americans. We have people waiting on waiting lists for new york city Public Housing for 10 years or more, but yet we have the Illegal Immigrants living here . Something is wrong with that x are with that picture. Since i came in with lynn patton as regional director, it helped us identify systemic problems we are putting on the table and having discussions on. President S Administration has opened their ear and has lifted. There has been improvement in Public Housing. We are very appreciative of thiS Administration, that has finally shined a light on what is going real solutionsg to a real problem. Dorn. Lo, my name is ann ofhusband david is a father five, brother of 12, grandfather of 10, friend of thousands. He was the kindest, most dedicated, lovingest partner i could have hoped for. He had a big smile and a heart to match. He was blessed with the gift of gab, and i gift enabled him to touch souls and inspire people, especially young people. How kids love him. And he really loved them back. Dave was all about service. He served 38 years in the st. Louis metropolitan police avenueent, as six years six years as chief of police in another department. He retired from Law Enforcement but never retired from helping a friend in need. Since he befriended every person, e was a very busy man he was a very busy man. One example is his friendship with a man named lee. David met him after members of his family were murdered. Dave took a special interest in the boy, they bonded, and their friendship remained strong over the years. Lee opened a pawnshop. He trusted dave and asked dave to help with security. David readily agreed. When the shop alarm would go off, the Alarm Company called dave. He would investigate. If you got a call after i went to bed, he would wake me and tell me he was going to leave, just to make sure everything was all right. Most of the time they were false alarms, triggered by a storm or animals, but i never rested easily until i heard daves key turn in the door, knowing he was home safe. The morningnt off of june 2. It was for real. It was a violent night in st. Louis. Four officers were shot, others were hit rocks and fireworks, at least fives misses were damaged, did, or sent on fire. As the cit coordinator at the police department, i was aware of the writing and spent evening getting ready to support officers who were impacted. After i went to bed, david received a call from the Alarm Company. The front door of the pawnshop had been read this time, he didnt wake me to tell me. He probably knew i would have tried stop him, or insist on going with him. As i slept, looters were ransacking the shop. They shot and killed david in and thend, livestreamed his execution and last moments on earth. Davids grandson was watching on ace book in real time on facebook in real time, not realizing he was watching his own grandfather dying on the sidewalk. I learned of all this around four clock a. M. When our doorbell rang. The chief of police was outside. I wondered why dave hadnt answered the door. It wasnt uncommon for him to be up watching tv. I called out to him several times. It was no reply. He just wasnt there. I let in the chief, and fighting back tears, he said the words every officers spouse dreads. Breaking] i relive that horror in my mind every day. My hope is that having you relive it with me now will help shake this country from this nightmare we are witnessing in our cities, and bring about positive, peaceful change. How did we get to this point where so many people are callous and indifferent towards human life . This isnt a videogame where you and commit mayhem and hit reset and bring all the characters back to life. Backis never, never coming to me. He was murdered by people who didnt know did care. He would have done anything to help them. Violence and destructions are not and distraction are not legitimate forms of road test. They dont see our black lives, they only destroy them. President trump understands this, has offered federal help to help restore our communities at a time when Police Departments are short of manpower. We need that help. We should accept that help. We must deal before weekend affect change, but we can deal amid devastation and chaos. President trump needs we President Trump knows we need more davids in our community, not fewer. Need to come together in peace and remember that every life is precious. Secretary carson good evening. Im ben carson, overtired neurosurgeon and public servant. Our hearts go out to the blake family and other families who have in impacted by the tragic event in kenosha. As jacobs mother has urged the , ourry, lets our hearts love and our intelligence to work together, to show the rest of the world how humans are supposed to treat each other. America is great when we behave greatly. In order to succeed in change, we must come together in love of our fellow citizens. History reminds us that necessary change comes through not senseless and destructive violence. Said to ancoln once yourca divided that, purpose then, plainly stated, is that you will destroy the government unless you be allowed the constitution as you please on all points of dispute between you and us. You will rule or ruin in all events. These words of warning are relevant today. We have a choice. Do we want Big Government that controls our lives from cradletograve . Powerwe believe in the and wisdom of the people in their ability to self govern, with help from a limited federal government . Trump,sident, donald j. Believes in the people. He is one of us. He makes promises and he keeps them. He is transparent, and we certainly know what he is aching. He does not submit know what he is thinking. He does not submit to Political Correctness or its enforcers, the media. He israel. Right now, we need real. We need courage. We cant cower in the corner and hope no one calls us a name, believing that will keep us safe. That is not courage and that will not lead us to a good and just lays just place. We must remember all those who sacrificed everything to give us freedom, and we must be willing to do the same for those who come after us. President trump does not dabble in identity politics. He wants everyone to succeed, and believes in the adage, a rising tide lifts all boats. Many on the other side left inside division by claiming that President Trump is a racist. They could not be more wrong. Years ago, Jesse Jackson gave donald trump an award for the Economic Opportunities he created for black people. In palm beach, florida, donald trump led a crusade to allow blacks and jews in private clubs and resorts. One of the first things he did as president was bring the office of historically black colleges and universities into the white house, so it could get proper attention and financial support. Pandemic, africanamerican unemployment was at an alltime low. President trump accomplished prison reform. He created incentives to encourage investors to become involved with economicallydeprived areas of america. He strongly supports School Choice, fully recognizing that no matter what circumstances a person is born into, they can achieve success with a good education. It was true for me. When my mother forced me to read books about doctors and entrepreneurs and inventors and scientists, i began to recognize that has most to do what happens to you in life is you. My mother always told me, b en, you can do anything, but i will never allow you to become a victim. It was then that i stopped listening to people who were trying to convince me that i was a victim, and that others were responsible for my victimhood. What is racist is the fact that africanamericans have the highest abortion rate. Mostdent trump is the prolife president in the countrys history. He will continue to fight for those who cannot yet speak. The vision of a shining city up on a hill came from jesus sermon on the mount. America is that shining city. We are the beacon of hope for the world. At this moment in time, President Donald Trump is the man with the courage and vision and ability to keep it shining rightly shining brightly. Im pat lynch, president of the Police Benevolent association, speaking on behalf of 50,000 active and retired new York City Police department. We are proud men and women who wear a shield and put ourselves in harms way to protect our city. We are proud to endorse donald j. Trump for reelection the stakes have never been higher. We are staring down the barrel of a Public Safety disaster. More than 1000 people have been shot in new york city this year. Almost 300 have been killed. These are not just numbers, they are real people. A father gunned down while holding his sevenyearold daughters hand, a beloved peacemaker killed by a stray bullet, a 17yearold who made the right choices, work hard to go to college and earned a scholarship, murdered before he could tell his mother the news, a oneyearold child shot dead in his stroller, innocent people, innocent lives lost. One tragedy is too many, but every day the number keeps growing, and every day our communities are asking us, why is this happening . The answer is simple. Democrats have walked away from us. They have walked away from Police Officers and the innocent people would protect. Democratic politicians have surrendered our streets and our institutions. Have taken voices control, and our socalled leaders are scrambling to catch up with them. In city after city, they have cut police budgets, hijacked and dismantled the criminal justice laws making it impossible for Police Officers to do our job effectively. Here is the sad truth. The violence and chaos we are seeing is not a side effect. It is not an on and ended consequence. It is the goal. The radical left doesnt really want that are policing, they dont care about making the Justice System fairer. What they want is no policing. They want the Justice System that stops working altogether. In places where democrats are in power, the radical left is getting what they want and our country is suffering for it. I have been a new York City Police officer for 36 years and spent 21 of those years protecting the cop to protect new yorkers. I have never seen our streets go this bad so quickly. I have never heard from so many cops from every corner of the country who are saying our hands are tied. If we return if we turn the tide and restore law and order, we can fall into the trap nobody hates bad cops more than good cops, but that doesnt matter to the radical left, we are all bad because we are all blue. Their antiLaw Enforcement campaign isnt about a single incident or the result of one bad law or policy. It is about a message. The message is, police are the enemy. The message is, criminals have the right to resist. The message is, if you commit a crime, victimize the most vulnerable people, the Justice System will not hold you accountable. That is the messaging echoing through city halls and statehouses throughout the country and playing on a loop in the media. Metals heard that message and are taking full advantage criminals heard that message and are taking full advantage. We must expose the lefts lies about Police Officer and the job we do. And we have something they dont. We have a real leader. We have a powerful voice in the most powerful office in our country. We have president donald j. Trump erie unlike the democrats running fear of the mob in the street, President Trump never apologized for supporting Police Officers and standing up for law and order. Unlike democrats who rose in the face of rioting, President Trump matches with action. He gives Law Enforcement this important tools we need. End of story. It has never been harder to be a Police Officer in this country, but two things keep us going. Theook at the victims, vulnerable, regular working people who count on us. We strap on our due to belts and estset resistant v because we cant let them down. And when we do that, we are the words of our president says to Police Officers everywhere, i will never let you down. We know that he wont. We have been fortunate to have him in office and no we cant afford to lose him. When it comes to your safety, your family on the safety of all americans, there is no other choice. You wont be safe in joe bidens america. We can have or more years of President Trump or you can have no safety, no justice and no peace. Rudy good evening. My name is Rudy Giuliani and i am the former mayor of york. My city elected a progressive democrat as mayor. New york city, once described as americas crime capital, had become by the mid1990s americas safest large city. Today, my city is in shock. Violent shootings, crime, increasing at percentages theard of in the past, return of rioting and looting. During riots, the democrat mayor, like others, often vented police from making arrests. And even when arrests are made, progressive das release the rioters so as not to disrupt the rioting. New yorkers wonder, how did we get overwhelmed by crime so quickly and the client so fast . Dont let democrats do to america what they have done to new york. Democrats are urging you to vote for an obviously defective candidate. His principlesed so often he no longer has principles. He is a trojan horse with bernie, aoc, pelosi and black lives matter in his partys entire left wing. They are procriminal, antipolice, socialist. The unprecedented wave of lawlessness began with a truly the unforgivable Police Killing of george floyd in minneapolis. Peaceful protests began all over the land. Condemnation of the killing was universal, from President Trump democrat readers. It seemed for a few reef, shining moments, democrat moments, democrat and Republican Leaders would come together with the uniform proposal to reduce police misconduct. This possibility was dangerous to the left. They had a president to be tenday country to destroy. And although an action on Police Brutality would be very valuable to the country, it would also make President Trump appear to be an effective leader. They could have none of that. So black lives matter and antifa sprang into action and in a flash, the hijacked protests into vicious, brutal rioting. Protests turned into riots in other american cities, almost all democrat. Businesses were crushed. People beaten, shot and killed. Police officers assaulted, badly beaten and occasionally murdered, and police handcuffed by progressive, crack mayors from doing anything but observe crimes and absorb the blows. But the worst was the slaughter of innocent young people with their whole lives ahead of them. The murder of fouryearold talifarro shocked the nation, but not black lives matter were democrat supporters. 17yearold ascot allstar brendan hendrix was killed in the bronx days after graduating high school and on his way to st. Johns to play basketball. Passed with only a brief mention. A oneyearold was shot and killed in a stroller at a cookout in brooklyn. It caused no outrage. And ussident trump republicans, all black lives theer, and the lives of grand and rendon matter to rendonf legrand and matter toand brandon us. This gives you a look at the future under biden,. All the cities being looted are governed by aggressive democrats using the progressive democrat approached a crime, which is to do nothing, to release visitors, as many as soon as possible, and to go to war with only, the only group capable of protecting your citizen. And theor biden democrats creates the risk will bring this lawlessness to your city, to your town, to your suburb. There is no question that this awesome job of restoring safety to our people cannot be done from your basement, joe. There is no question that President Trump will fight with all his strength to preserve the american system of government and our way of life. In critical times in our history, america has always blessed the right person to handle the crisis. Washington. Lincoln. Roosevelt. Reagan. Perfect for the challenges they faced, they brought our nation room gloriously nation through gloriously. President trump, with his bliss love for our country and all our people, his disciplined work ethic, his exceptional ability to inspire, his deep understanding of our government and the strength of American Values is the man we can trust to improve the american way of life. Mr. President , make our nation safe again. The u. S. Attorney announced charges against a doctor and two chinese nationals. A systematic decision by many powerful leaders to sell out america to china. China is going to be our lunch. A 2013 trip to china, getting due attention, not for what joe biden, but for who he brought with him. As the threat from china grew larger, biden grew more accommodating to the chinese government. Questions about foreign business dealings while his father was vice resident. Vice president. To raise biden hoped 1. 5 billion. When it was clear china lied the deadly coronavirus, biden was still cking for the chinese government. Guess what, they are not, but should or us they are not competition for us. Senator cotton good evening. Im senator tom cotton. A lot has changed in four years. Back then, we gathered in an arena. Tonight, you are probably at home, while i stand alone. Standalone. Old was the motto of my army unit, the 506 infantry, the original band of others. Brothers. We fought alongside each other but were always prepared to stand alone. So it is with our nation we lead the world so it is with our nation. We lead the free nation but are prepared to stand alone. Donald trump put america first. That is why the nation is safer. Joe biden would return us to a week and dangerous past. Barack obamas own secretary of defense said joe biden has been wrong on nearly every Major National security decision over or decade over four decades. Lets compare records. Joe biden cut defense spending again and again President Trump rebuilt our military and enacted the space force. Joe biden let isis terrorists rampage across the middle east. President trump eliminated the isis leader and destroyed the caliphate. Joe biden opposed the mission to kill osama bin laden. President trump avenged the murder of hundreds of americans by killing irans mastermind, qassem soleimani. Of cashn sent pallets to the ayatollahs. President trump ripped off the dangerous iran nuclear deal. Joe biden treated israel like a nuisance. President trump moved our embassy to jerusalem and brokered a peace deal in the middle east. Joe biden coddled socialist dictators in cuba and is wailing. President trump fights communism in americas backyard and around the world. And on the communist party of china, there is no comparison. Joe biden aided and abetted nas rise for for years 450 years with eric chinas rise for 50 years with terrible trade deals for our workers. President is standing up to chinas stealing and cheating and lying. President trump sanctioned chinese drug dealers. Joe biden said chinese communists arent even are competitors arent even our competitors, months before they unleashed display unleashed this play. This play. Plague. Andbiden would be as wrong weak over the next four years as he has been for the last 50. We need a president who stands up for america, not one who takes a knee. A strong and proud america is a safe america, safe from our enemies and safe from war. No one who has seen the face of war desires to see it again. Aremany fellow americans honored already i darlie at arlington. Weaknesses provocative. President trumps strength has kept us out of war. Joe biden wont stand up for america. Donald trump will. This november, lets stand with the president and devote keep vote togreat and keep America Great. Marsha my name is marsha mueller. This is my husband, carl. Our doctor, kayla, was taken hostage and murdered by isis. Kayla was amazing. She taught herself languages, how to write music, how to play guitar, she worked with troubled youth, military veterans and native americans. Everywhere kayla went, people smiled. Kayla had a gift, to be able to see the world through someone elses eyes. She became a humanitarian aid worker, and when she was helping children at an orphanage in india, kayla wrote, i find god and the suffering eyes were ducted in minde. This is how i shall forever seek you. She went turkey to help syrian in 2012. In 2013, she was asked by another aid worker to cross the border into syria to help out at a hospital. On august 4, 2013, isis terrorists stopped her vehicle and took her captive. Kayla was mostly held in a 12 x 12 cell that was cold and dirty. Terrorists shined bright lights in her face, shaved her head, feet hurt, and torture. The leader of isis raped her repeatedly. And18 months, she endured, we endured an agonizing back and forth between us, the Obama Administration and isis. We put our faith in the government, but the government let us down. President obama refused to meet with us until isis already beheaded other americans. To this day, we never heard from joe biden. Instead, the Obama Administration hid behind policy, so much that we hopeless when they cap us from negotiating to save kaylas life. Moredministration showed concern for terrorists in guantanamo that american hostages in syria. The military prepared a rescue mission, but the white house delayed it by the time it went forward, kayla had been moved to another location after 18 months of brutal torture. We learned from isis kayla had been killed. The Obama Administration kept administration telling us they were doing everything they could, but it wasnt enough. Under President Trump, operators conducted a raid on the al back baghdadi compound and he was killed. The Task Force Members named after august 14, kaylas birthday. Thank you. Kayla is looking down on you. The trump team gave us empathy we never received from the Obama Administration. The Obama Administration said it was doing everything it could. The Trump Administration is. Kayla should be here. If donald trump had been president when kayla was captured, she would be here today. Hostage, iwas a would go outside and look at the moon, look at the moon and promised her i would do everything i could to get her home. Now, when i see the moon, i am reminded of a promise to her i couldnt keep. All kayla wanted was to make it home. We are still working to find her and god willing, we will bring her home. Kayla was born a miracle. We were told we would never have a second child, but not gave us kayla, and she gave herself to the world. Kaylasnths into captivity, another hostage was able to smuggle out a letter kayla had written. We could see that god was holding her in his arms. In her words, she felt tenderly cradled. She also wrote, i have been shown in darkness light and have learned that even in prison, one can be free. I am grateful. I have had many hours to think how only in your absence i have finally come at 25 years old, realized your place in my life. None of us could know it would be this long, but i am also fighting in the ways i am able, and i have a lot of fight left in side of me left inside of me. I am not breaking down and i will not gave in, no matter how long it takes. Kayla top so many things as her mom taught me so many things as her mom. She is still teaching us. Carl and i support donald trump because of his commitment to make and keep America Great, not with the power of government, but with the passion of people like kayla, americans who even in the darkest days have more fight left inside of them, americans who dont just talk, they act. That was our doctor. That was President Trump our daughter. That was President Trump. As long as we refuse to break, we will be great. Thank you. My family,e to hug free to start over. It is the greatest day of my life. I want to thank president donald john trump. [hearing] [cheering] group. Ame together as a we worked across party lines that we got it done. I am an example of a woman who has been given a Second Chance in life. God bless you, god bless america. [applause] alice good evening. Im alice marie johnson. I was once told that the only way i would be reunited with my family would be as a corpse. Andby the grace of god the compassion of president donald john from, i stand before you tonight at the assure you that i am not a ghost. Am well, and most importantly, i am free. In 1996, i began serving time in his, life plus 25 time in years. Life plus 25 i had never been in trouble. I was a firsttime, nonviolent inventor nonviolent offender. What i did was wrong. I made decisions i regret. Some say you do the crime, you do the time. However, the time should be fair and just. We all make mistakes. None of us want to be find forever based on our worst decision. I became aison, playwright, mentor, certified hospice volunteer and ordained received a Special Olympics Event Coordinator of the year award for my work with disabled women. Worsee the only thing than unjustly imprisoning my body is trying to imprison my mind. My transformation was described as extraordinary. The truth is, there are thousand justlike me thousands like me who deserve the opportunity to come home. I never stopped fighting my freedom. My Christian Faith and the prayers of many capped hope alive. Aboutresident trump heard the injustice of my story, he saw me as a person. And he acted. Ion, free in body thanks to President Trump, but free in mind thanks to the almighty god. I couldnt believe it. God knewremember that my name in my darkest hour, but i never felt our president would. When i was released on june 6, 2018, i run across that road and hugged my grandchildren for the first time. I will never forget that feeling. And then, i remembered a promise i made to the men and women i left behind, that i would never stop fighting for them. And i havent. Im using my voice to tell their stories, and i pray that my face reminds you of those forgotten faces. Six months after President Trump granted me a Second Chance, he signed the First Step Act into law. It was real Justice Reform and it wrought joy, hope and freedom to thousands of welldeserving people i hollered welldeserving people. I hollered hallelujah. My faith in justice and mercy was rewarded. Imagine getting to hug your loved ones again. And to think this first step meant so much to so many. I cant wait, because we are just getting started. The nearly 22 years i spent in prison were not wasted. God had a purpose and a plan for my life. Denied. T delayed or i pray that you will not just hear this message, but that you will be inspired by my story, and your compassion will lead you to take action for those who are forgotten. That is what our president , donald trump, did or me. And for that, i will be forever grateful. God bless you. Andbless President Trump, god bless america. Thank you. Is one of the Great American success stories, a builder who left his mark on skylines around the world, a businessman with extraordinary ability to communicate directly with the American People, a leader who grew tired of politicians leading our country down a road to ruin. He didnt do it for money or power or fame. He had all that. He did it because of his love for our great country. We will make America Great again. Trump beat thed odds, smashed the establishment, and won the presidency for the American People. Donald trump has defeated hillary clinton. Hillary clinton called donald trump concede the race. It they were all, all of them wrong, making this one of the greatest upsets in american political history. Immediately upon taking office, trump changed things. Change threatened the establishment and the establishment fought back, democrat obstruction, phony investigations, the dishonest funny media, 92 of stories are negative. No president has seen everything anything like it. Trump delivered for the American People and he delivered like never before. Building the strongest economy in american history, at 7 million new jobs, the lowest ever unemployment for black and hispanic americans, ending the biden era of lopsided trade deals that sent our factories overseas, fasting passing the historic u. S. Sca, winning the trade work, protecting and strengthening medicare and social security, delivering the first real drop in drug prices in 50 years on that restoring our military, fixing the v. A. , bringing our troops home, and taking the worlds deadliest terrorists, soleimani, albaghdadi brought to justice. Having a new era of strength and solidarity with israel, negotiating a story peace deal between israel and the united arab emirates, securing our borders, miles of new border wall being built, illegal immigration to the lowest point of the decade, tackling the coronavirus head on, bending travel from china, mobilizing and lodging operation warp speed, and unprecedented effort to develop a vaccine to eradicate the coronavirus from the face of the earth in record time. President trump has accomplished more for the American People in four years than any other president in history, and in his second term, he will lead america to even greater heights, draining the swamp, rebuilding the economy, bringing back millions of jobs, creating 10 million new jobs in 10 months, new opportunities for all americans, not just those at the top, lowering drug costs, expanding access to highquality health care for every american family, defending americas police, restoring law and order to out cities, stopping illegal immigration, and protecting American Families, and ending americas reliance on china once and for all. Bringing back jobs and factories, making medicine and products in america again. President trump will rebuild americas infrastructure, renew hope, and our entrepreneurial spirit for a new generation, and restored the American Dream. It will not be easy, never pretty. The stolen swap will continue to fight every step of the way, but under President Trump our families will thrive, our incomes will rise, our communities will be kept safe, our factories will , our flag will fly high, our country will sort, and we will make America Great again. [applause] pleasees and gentlemen, welcome ivanka trump. Trump good evening. Before i begin, i want to send out a special message to everyone who has been affected by hurricane laura. Our hearts are with you. The president will continue to support you every step of the way, and it just like americans always do, the nation will come together to help you rebuild your homes, businesses, and communities stronger and more resilient than ever before. [applause] four years ago, i introduce to you a builder, an entrepreneur, an outsider, and the peoples nominee for the president of the United States. Tonight, i stand before you as the proud daughter of the peoples president. [applause] he is our commanderinchief, champion of the American Worker, defender of common sense, and our voice for the forgotten men and women of this country. Here is our president and my father, donald j. Trump. [applause] this evening, i want to tell you about the leader i know in the moments i wish every american could see. I want to tell you the story of a president who is writing from you from dawn until midnight when the cameras have left, the microphones are off and the decisions really count. When jared and i moved with her three Young Children to washington, d. C. , we did not know what we were in for, but our kids loved it from the start. My son joseph promptly built grandpa a lego replica of the white house. The president still displays it on the mantle in the office oval office right over there so he can show World Leaders that he has the greatest grandchildren on earth. [applause] i agree. Over the last four years, we have learned a lot. I have seen in washington, d. C. , it is easy for politicians to survive if they silence their convictions and skipped the hard fight. I could not leave so many politicians actually prefer to complain about a problem whether than fixit rather it. I was shocked to see people. Eave issues unsolved donald trump did not come to washington to win praise from the beltway elite. Donald trump came to washington for one reason and one reason alone, to make America Great again. [applause] my father has strong convictions. He knows what he believes, and he says what he thinks. Whether you agree with him or not, you always know where he stands. I recognize that my dads munication style is not to everyones taste and i know his tweets can feel a bit unfiltered , but the results speak for themselves. [applause] she is so unapologetic about his beliefs he is so unapologetic about his week that he has caused me and so many other americans to take a hard look at themselves and ask ourselves what do we stand for . What kind of america do we want to leave for our children . I am more certain than ever before it we want a future where our kids can believe in american greatness. We want a society where every child can live in a Safe Community and go to a great school of their choice. [applause] we want a culture where differences of opinion debates are encouraged, not canceled, where Law Enforcement is respected, where our countrys is celebrated and where people of all races, backgrounds, colors, and creeds have the chance to achieve their godgiven potential. This is the future my father is working to build each and every day. [applause] building, after all, is what he has done his whole life. She has admired and befriended construction workers on job sites. It has been a new and profound experience for him and for me to steel and machine workers and thank him for be the only person willing to go to bat for them for their jobs, for their families, and for their future. To the hardworking men and women across america and here tonight, you are the reason my father fights with all of his heart and all of his might. You are the reason he ran for president in the first place and you are the reason he is going to keep fighting for four more years. [applause] [chanting four more years] i remember one evening in february of 2018, we were in the oval office with my fathers top economic advisors and he was trying to keep his promise to renegotiate the trade deal that it darted millions of middleclass jobs. Most of the advisors argued that the economy was so strong following tax and regulatory cuts that it did not make sense to risk rocking the boat. After the meeting as i walked with my father, he said the reason this as never been done before is because our leaders never had the guts. When the economy is good, they settle for good, edwin the economy is bad, and when the economy is bad, they kick the can. If my father did not take on these fights, no one would. In the months that followed, President Trump refused to settle for a good deal. He wanted a great deal, and ultimately that is what we got. [applause] remember each time he was updated on the progress, the new trade deal with mexico and canada, he would say do not let those Dairy Farmers in wisconsin i do not want them to like this deal. I want them to love it. [applause] this, in the midst of unprecedented global pandemic, it is more clear than ever that our president was corrected to take on trade when he did and bring our jobs, our factories, and our lifesaving medicine back to the usa. [applause] nation endures this great trial, i pray for families mourning the loss of loved ones, for those who are battling covid19 and for First Responders and Health Care Heroes were made on the front line of this fight. The grief, sorrow, and anxiety during this time is felt by all. I have been with my father and i have seen the pain in his eyes when he receives updates on lives that have been stolen by this plague. I have witnessed to make some of the most difficult decisions of his life. I sat with him in the oval office as he stuck traveled to europe. I watched him take the strongest and most inclusive economy in a lifetime, the lowest unemployment in half a century and the largest wage increase for working families and decades and close it down to save american lives. [applause] it is why our president rapidly mobilized the full force of government in the private sector to produce ventilators within weeks, to build the most robust testing system in the world, and to develop safe and effective treatments and very soon a vaccine. My father is not deterred by defeatist thinkers. The word impossible only motivates him. Donald trump projects the cynical notion that this countries countrys greatest achievements are behind us. He leaves nothing is beyond our reach and the best is yet to come. [applause] seen all of my life how my dad believes and the potential of each individual. Earlier this evening, we were all inspired by the incredible testimony of alice johnson, a greatgrandmother who was sentenced to life in prison for a first time nonviolent drug offense. I was with my father when he decided to commute her life sentence. Together, we watched alice leave prison after nearly 22 years. As she ran into the arms of her family and they celebrated a joyful reunion, my father got very quiet. I could see the emotion on his face. After a long silence, he looked at me and said, imagine how many people there are just like alice. Aom that point on, key became voice for those who had been unfairly silenced in our prison system. President trump rectified the disparities of the 1994 biden crime bill that disproportionately hurt africanamericans. [applause] odds, he brought together republicans and democrats and pass the most significant criminal Justice Reform of our generation, and we are just getting started. [applause] my father did not campaign on this issue. She tackled this injustice because he tackled this injustice because he has a deep compassion for those treated unfairly. The ability to build consensus and achieve bipartisan success will help heal our countrys racial inequities and bring us forward together. President trump is advancing the American Values of work and family. In cleveland, i said President Trump would deliver for working women. Last year, over 70 of all new jobs were secured by women. [applause] years ago, i told you my father would focus on making childcare affordable and accessible. Term,sident trumps first we secure the largest ever increase for child care funding, even more than 800,000 low income families great childcare at a cost they could afford. As part of republican tax cuts into thousand 19 alone, our over 2000redit sent into the pockets of 40 million American Families. Democrat politicians recently introduced a plan to increase the child tax credit, yet when i was fighting less than three years ago at the president s direction to get congress to double the child tax credit, not a single democrat voted to pass the law. We got it done anyway. [applause] ago, i promise trump would support mothers in the workforce. In his first year in office, he signed into law the First Ever National paid leave tax credit. Today, 8 million more americans have access to this benefit. [applause] ago i said americans needed an economy that permits people to rise again. First President Trumps years in office, 72 of all new jobs what do americans who had been outside of the workforce. [applause] four years ago, i told you i would fight alongside my father, and four years ago years later, here i am. [applause] asy of the issues my father champion are not historically republican priorities, yet where washington, d. C. Chooses sides, my father chooses common sense. Party,oliticians choose our president chooses people. [applause] since the day he took the oath of office, i have watched my father take on the failed policies of the past and do what no leader has done before. Recently, he took dramatic action to cut the cost of prescription drugs, despite fielding angry calls from the ceos of nearly every major pharmaceutical company. Ads paid we see attack for by big pharma, my dad smiles and says to me, you know, we are doing something really right if they are hitting us so hard. [applause] president g, our sought that american crops were going to waste because Food Supply Chains were disrupted by the virus. He directed secretary perdue and me to get fresh food to families most in need. Within a matter of days, we launched the farmers to families food box program, which is now delivered over 100 million meals into the hands of American Families. [applause] to protect the most vulnerable among us, i have worked alongside the president as he signed into law nine pieces of legislation to combat the evil of Human Trafficking. [applause] i have stood by my fathers side as he has received our fallen it stealsd each time his resolve to finally stop the endless foreign wars. [applause] to change the paradigm in the middle east, he took a fresh approach. I heard foreign leaders begged him not to move the American Embassy to jerusalem, yet he delivered in promise also made an unfulfilled by past president s because my father knew it was the right thing to do. [applause] expectations, just weeks ago, he rewrote history again by making a Peace Agreement in the middle east, the biggest breakthrough in a quartercentury. [applause] for the first time in a long time, we have a president who has called out washington, d. C. s hypocrisy, and they hate him for it. Dad, people hate you for being unconventional, but i love you for being a real, and i respect you for being effective. [applause] our president refuses to surrender his police to score points with the big political elite. To my father, you are the elite. Carese the only people he about scoring influence with. If these problems were easy to solve, previous president would have done so. You do not achieve different results by doing things the same way. Washington, d. C. Has not changed donald trump. Donald trump has it changed washington, d. C. [applause] america does not need another empty vessel who will do whatever the media and the fringe of his party demand. Now more than ever, America Needs four more years of a warrior in the white house. [applause] , i could not be more proud to introduce my father, a man i know was made for this moment in history.

We are working closely with state and local officials in texas, louisiana, arkansas, mississippi. Sparing no effort to save lives while the hurricane was fierce, one of the strongest to make landfall in 150 years, the casualties and damage were far onlythen thought possible 24 hours ago.

[applause] let us also take a moment to show our profound appreciation for a man who has always fought by our side and stood up for our andes, a man of deep faith steadfast conviction, our Vice President , mike pence. [applause] and mike is joined by his beloved wife and teacher and pence. Y mom, karen [applause] my fellow americans, tonight with a heart full of gratitude and boundless optimism, i profoundly accept this nomination for president of the United States. [applause] [cheers] [chanting u. S. A. ] party, the party of Abraham Lincoln, goes forward and ready toined welcome millions of democrats, ents andence independ anyone who believes in the greatness of america and the righteous heart of the American People. [applause] term as president , we will again build the greatest economy in history, quickly returning to full employment, soaring incomes, and record prosperity. [applause] we will defend america against all threats and protect america against all dangers. We will lead america into new frontiers of ambition and discovery, and we will reach four new heights of national new heights of national achievement. We will rekindle faith in our values, new bright in our history, and a new spirit of unity that can only be realized through love for our great country. [applause] thatse we understand america is not a land cloaked in darkness. America is the torch that enlightens the entire world. [applause] gather to hear at our beautiful and majestic white house known all over the world as the peoples house, we cannot help but marvel at the miracle that is our Great American story. This has been the home of larger than life figures like teddy ,oosevelt and Andrew Jackson who rallied americans to pull divisions of a bigger and brighter future. Within these walls lived tenacious generals like president grant and eisenhower, who led our soldiers in the cause of freedom. Grounds, tom is jefferson sent Thomas Jefferson sent lewis and clark to chart our continent. In the depths of a bloody civil war, president Abraham Lincoln looked out dees very windows look out these very windows and asked god and his providence to save our nation. Two weeks after pearl harbor, Franklin Delano roosevelt welcomed Winston Churchill and just inside, they set our people on course to victory in the second world war. In recent months, our nation and the entire planet has been struck by a new and powerful invisible enemy. Like those brave americans before us, we are meeting this challenge. We are delivering lifesaving will produce a vaccine before the end of the year or maybe even sooner. [applause] we will defeat the virus and the pandemic and emerge stronger than ever before. [applause] what United Generations past was an unshakable confidence in anricas destiny and unbreakable faith in the American People. They knew that our country is blessed by god and has a special purpose in this world. It is that conviction that inspired the formation of our expansion,westward the abolition of slavery, the passage of civil rights, the overthrowram, and the of fascism, tyranny, and communism. This powerful american spirit has prevailed over every challenge and has lifted us to the summit of human endeavor. And to get despite all of our greatness as a nation, everything we have achieved is now in danger. This is the most important election in the history of our country. [applause] thank you. [laughter] at no time before have voters faced a clearer choice between two parties, two visions, two philosophies, or two agendas. This election will decide if we save the American Dream or allow these socialist allow a socialist agenda to tarnish the american destiny. It will decide whether we rapidly create millions of highpaying jobs or whether we crush our industries and send millions of these jobs overseas, as has been foolishly done for many decades. Your vote will decide whether we protect lawabiding americans or whether we give free reign to agitatorsarchists and and criminals who threaten our citizens. And this election will decide whether we will defend the american way of life or allow a radical Left Movement to completely dismantle and destroy it. It will not happen. [applause] at the Democratic National convention, joe biden and his party repeatedly assailed america as a land of racial, economic, and social injustice, so tonight, i ask you a simple question. How can the Democratic Party asked to lead our country when it spent so much time tearing down our country . [applause] they do not see america as the most free, just, and exceptional nation on earth. Instead, they see a wicked nation that must be punished for it since. Our opponents ate redemption for you can only come from giving power to them. This is a tired anthem spoken by every repressive movement throughout history, but in this country, we do not look to career politicians for salvation. In america, we do not turn to ourselves. To restore we put our faith in almighty god. [applause] joe biden is not a savior of americas soul. He ise destroyer the destroyer of americas jobs, and if given the chance, he will be the destroyer of americas greatness. Took thears, joe biden donations of bluecollar workers, gave them hugs, and even kisses. [laughter] [applause] and told them he felt their pain , and then he flew back to washington, d. C. And voted to ship our jobs to china and many other distant lands. Joe biden spends his entire career of country any longer. As careerit by politicians let other countries trade,vantage of us on borders, foreign policy, and national defense. Example partners as an were very far behind in their defense payments, but at my strong urging, they agreed to billion more a year, the first time in 20 years that payments. Upped their [applause] add this 130 billion will ultimately go to 400 billion a generald secretary stoltenberg was amazed after watching for so many years and said that trump did what no one else was able to do. Thank you. [applause] from the moment i left my former life behind, and it was a good life. [laughter] i have done nothing but fight for you. I did what our political establishment never expected and could never forgive, breaking the Cardinal Rule of washington, d. C. Politics. I kept my promise. [applause] together we have ended the rule of the failed political class, and they are desperate to get their power back by any means necessary. You have seen that. They are angry at me because instead of putting them first, i americamply said, first. [applause] thank you. Office, wetaking shot the washington, d. C. Establishment and withdrew from the last administrations job transpacific partnership. I then immediately approve the keystone xl and dakota at pipelines. [applause] costlyhe unfair and very Paris Climate Accord and secured for the first time American Energy independence. [applause] we passed recordsetting tax and regulation cuts at a rate nobody had ever seen before. Within three short years, we built the strongest economy in the history of the world. Washington, d. C. Insiders asked me not to stand up to china. They pleaded with me to let china continue stealing our jobs, ripping us off, and rubbing our country blind, but i our my word and robbing country blind, but i kept my word. This he strongest, toughest kidding action against china hitting action against china by far. They said it would be impossible to replace nafta, but again they were wrong. Earlier this year, i ended the nafta nightmare and signed the u. S. Canadaxico agreement into law. Andur Building Plant factories in america, not firing their employees, and not deserting us for other countries. [applause] in perhaps no area did the washington, d. C. Special interest try harder to stop us then on my policy of proamerican immigration. [applause] but i refused to back down, and today americas borders are more secure than ever before. [applause] thank you. We ended catch and release, stopped asylum fraud, took down human traffickers who prey on women and children, and we have deported 20,000 gang members and 500,000 criminal aliens. [applause] built 300 miles of border wall, and we are adding 10 new miles every single week. The wall will soon be complete, and it is working beyond our wildest expectations. [applause] evening byed this members of the Border Patrol Union Representing our countrys courageous Border Patrol agents. Thank you very much for being here. Brave, brave people. [applause] [chanting u. S. A. ] loves our Law Enforcement. [applause] they really do. Love and respect them. When i learned that the Tennessee Valley authority ad laid off hundreds of American Workers and forced them to train their lower paid foreign replacements, i promptly removed the chairman of the board, and now those talented American Workers have been rehired and our back provide and are back providing power to georgia, alabama, kentucky, mississippi, north carolina, and virginia. [applause] back,ave their old jobs and some are here with us this evening. Please stand. You went through a lot. Please stand. [applause] you have been through a lot. Thank you very much. Last month, i took on big pharma. You think that is easy . I signed orders that would massively lower the cost of your prescription drugs and give critically ill patients access to lifesaving cures. We passed the decades , rightaited right to try to try. [applause] v. A. So passed choice,bility and v. A. Our great veterans. We are taking care of our veterans. [applause] 91 Approval Rating this month, the v. A. Given by our veterans. The first time anything like that has happened. By the end of my first term, we will have approved more than 300 tworal judges, including new great Supreme Court justices. [applause] and to bring prosperity to our forgotten inner cities, we worked hard to pass historic criminal Justice Reform, prison , andm, opportunity zones longterm funding of historically black colleges and universities, and before the china virus came in, produced the best unemployment numbers for africanamericans, hispanic americans, and Asian Americans ever recorded. [applause] and i say very modestly that i have done more for the Africanamerican Community than any president since Abraham Lincoln, our first republican president. [applause] and i have done more in three years for the black community then joe biden has done in 47 years. [applause] and when i am reelected, the best is yet to come. [applause] years]g four more thank you very much. When i took office, the middle east was in total chaos. Rampaging, karen i was on the rise and the war had no end in sight. I withdrew from the terrible onesided i run i irannuclear deal. Unlike president s before me, i kept my promise, recognized israels true capital, and moved our embassy to jerusalem. [applause] but not only did we talk about it as a future site, we got it built. Rather than spending 1 billion on a new building as planned, we took an already owned existing building and a better location. Real estate deal, right . [laughter] cost of less at a than 500,000. [applause] like that the government is doing right now. Recognized israeli sovereignty over the golan heights, and this month we achieved the first middle east peace deal in 25 years. [applause]. Hank you to the uae thank you to israel. [applause] 100 dition, we obliterated of the isis caliphate and killed ,ts founder and leader albaghdadi. [applause] then in a separate operation, we eliminated the worlds number one terrorist by far, qasem soleimani. [applause] previouS Administrations, i have kept america out of new wars, and our troops are coming home. 2. 5ve spent nearly trillion on completely rebuilding our military, which was very badly depleted when i took office, as you know. Separate pay three raises for our great warriors. [applause] we also launched the space force , the first new branch of the United States military since the air force was created almost 75 years ago. We have spent the last four years reversing the damage joe biden inflicted over the last 47 years. Bidens record is a shameful local of the most catastrophic betrayals and blunders in our lifetime. He has spent his entire career on the wrong side of history. Biden voted for the nafta disaster, the single worst trade deal ever enacted. Entry intod chinas the world trade organization, one of the greatest economic disasters of all time. After those biden calamities, the United States lost one in fo ur manufacturing jobs. We laid off workers in michigan, ohio, pennsylvania, and many other states. They did not want to hear bidens hollow words of empathy. They wanted their jobs back. [applause] as Vice President , he supported the transpacific partnership, which would have been a death sentence for the u. S. Auto industry. He backed the horrendous south korea trade deal, which took many jobs from our country, and which i reversed and made a great deal for our country. He repeatedly supported mass amnesty for illegal agreement Illegal Immigrants. He voted for the iraq war. He opposed the mission that took out osama bin laden. He opposed killing sulla many, oversaw the rise of choices and cleared the rise of china as a positive development for the world. Some positive development. That is why china supports joe biden and it desperately wants him to win. Upon very you that good information. [laughter] china would own our country if joe biden got elected. Hold themen, i will fully accountable for the tragedy that they caused all over the world, they caused. In recent months our nation and in the world has been hit by the once in a century pandemic that china allowed to spread around the globe. They could have stopped it, but they allowed it to come out. We are grateful to be joined tonight by several of our incredible nurses edit First Responders. Please stand and accept our profound thanks and gratitude. [applause] many americans, including me, i have sadly lost friends and cherished loved ones to this horrible disease. As one nation, we mourn, we grieve, and we hold in our hearts forever the memories of all of those lives that have been so tragically taken, so unnecessary. In their honor, we unite in their memory, we will overcome. Hit, wethe china virus nationale largest mobilization since world war ii, invoking the defense production act. We produce the Worlds Largest supply of ventilators. Not a single america as needed a ventilator was denied single american who has needed a ventilator was denied a ventilator. [applause] heading the task force by our great Vice President. [applause] we shipped hundreds of millions of masks, gloves, and gowns to Frontline Health care workers to protect our nation seniors, we rushed supplies. Do nursing homes, we gave everything we possibly could give edit we are still getting it because we are taking care of our senior citizens. [applause] the army corps of engineers built field hospitals, and in the navy deployed our great hospital ships. We developed from scratch the largest and most advanced testing system anywhere in the world. America as tested more than every country in europe put together and more than every nation in the western hemisphere combined. A 40 millioncted more tests then the next closest nation, which is india. We developed a wide array of effective treatments, including a powerful antibody treatment known as convalescent plasma. You saw that on sunday night, that will save thousands and thousands of lives. Thanks to advancements, we have pioneered the fatality rates, and you look at it, and you look at the numbers. It has been reduced by 80 since april, 80 . [applause] among the states as lowest case fatality rates of any major country anywhere in the world. Case fatalitynion rate is nearly three times higher than ours, but you do not hear about it. They do not write about it. They do not want you to know those things. Altogether, the nations of europe have experienced a 30 greater increase in excess mortality then the United States. Think of that. We enacted the largest package of Financial Relief in american history. Thanks to our paycheck protection program, we have 50ed or supported more than million american jobs. That is one of the reasons we are as a result, we have seen the smallest Economic Contraction of any nation, and we are recovering at a much faster rate than anybody over th. Over the past three months, we have gained 9 million jobs, and that is a record in the his area of our country that is a record in the history of our country. [applause] they have shown themselves capable of nothing but a partisan ability to criticize. When i took bold action to issue a travel ban on china very early indeed, joe called it hysterical and xenophobic. Then i introduced a ban on europe very early again. Joe, had listened to hundreds of thousands more americans would have died. Instead of following the science, joe biden wants to inflict a shutdown on the entire country. The shutdown would inflict lasting harm on our nations families and citizens of all backgrounds. The cost of the biden shutdown would be measured in increased drug overdoses, depression, alcohol addiction, suicides, heart attacks, economic devastation, job loss, into much more. Is not as plan solution to the virus, but rather it is a surrender to the virus. [applause] my administration has a very different approach. To save as many lives as possible, we are focusing on the science, the facts, and the data. We are aggressively sheltering those most at risk, especially the elderly, allowing lower risk americans to safely return to work and to school, and we want to see so many of those great states be open by democrats. We want them to be open. They have to be open. They have to get back to work. [applause] they have to get back to work, and they have to get back to school. Most importantly, we are marshaling americas scientific genius to produce a vaccine in record time. , wer operation warp speed have three different vaccines in the final stage of trials right now, years ahead of what has been achieved before. No one has ever thought it could be done this fast. Normally it would be years. We are producing them an advance so hundreds of millions of doses can be quickly available. We have a safe and effective vaccine this year, and together we will crush the virus. [applause] at the democrat convention, you barely heard a word about their agenda. But that is not because they dont have one. It is because their agenda is the most extreme set of proposals ever put forward by a major party nominee. Joe biden may claim he is an ally of the light, but when it comes to his agenda, biden wants to keep us completely in the dark. He doesnt have a kahlua. He doesnt have a clue. Almostged a tax hike on all American Families, which would totally collapse are rapidly improving economy, and once again record stock markets that we have right now will also collapse. That means your 401 k s, although stocks you have. On the other hand, just as i did in my first term, i will cut taxes even further for hardworking moms and dads. I will not raise taxes, i will cut them, and very substantially. [applause] taxwe will also provide credits to bring jobs out of china back to america, and we will impose tariffs on any company that leaves america to produce jobs overseas. [applause] we will make sure our companies and jobs stay in our country, as i have already been doing for quite some time, if you have noticed. Joe bidens agenda is made in china. Usa. Enda is made in the [applause] [chanting u. S. A. ] biden has promised to abolish the production of american oil, coal, shale, and natural gas, laying waste to the economies of pennsylvania, ohio, texas, north , anda, oklahoma, colorado new mexico, destroying those states, absolutely destroying those states, and others. Millions of jobs will be lost and Energy Prices will soar. These same policies lead to crippling Power Outages in california just last week. Everybody saw that. Tremendous power outage. No one has seen anything like it, but we saw it last week in california. How can joe biden claim to be an ally of the light when his own party cant even keep the lights on . [applause] joe bidens campaign has even published a 110 page policy platform. You cant get away from this. Coauthored with farleft senator crazy Bernie Sanders. The bidenburnie manifesto calls removals of providing illegal aliens with free taxpayerfunded lawyers. Everybody gets a lawyer. Come over to our country, everybody has a lawyer. That is all we need is more lawyers. [laughter] [applause] joe biden recently raised his hand on the debate stage and he was going to give it away, your health kill dollars, to Illegal Immigrants, which will bring massive numbers of immigrants into our country, massive numbers will pour into our country in order to get all the goodies they want to give. Education, health care, everything. He also supports deadly sanctuary cities that protect criminal aliens. End nationalo security travel bans from jihadist nations, and he pledged to increase refugee admissions by 700 . This is in the manifesto. The biden plan would eliminate americas borders in the middle and he isl pandemic, even talking about taking the wall down. How about that . [booing] biden also vowed to oppose School Choice and close all Charter Schools, ripping away the ladder of opportunity for black and hispanic children. Willsecond term, i expand Charter Schools and provide School Choice for every family in america. [applause] and we will always treat our teachers with the tremendous respect that they deserve. [applause] great people. Great, great people. Joe biden claims he has empathy for the vulnerable, yet the party he leads supports the extreme lateterm abortion of defenseless babies, right up until the moment of birth. Democrat leaders talk about moral decency, but they have no problem with stopping a babys beating heart in the ninth month of pregnancy. Democrat politicians refused to protect innocent life, then they lecture us about morality and saving americas soul. Tonight, we proudly declare that all children born and unborn have a godgiven right to life. [applause] during the democrat convention, the words under god were removed from the pledge of allegiance. Not once, but twice. We will never do that. [applause] is, this is where they are coming from. Like it or not, this is where they are coming from. If the left gains power, they will demolish the suburbs, confiscate your guns, and appoint justices who will wipe away your Second Amendment and other constitutional freedoms. Biden is a trojan horse for socialism. If joe biden does not have the strength to stand up to wild eyed marxists like Bernie Sanders and his fellow radicals, and there are many. We see them all the time. It is incredible, actually. Then how is he ever going to stand up for you . Hes not. The most dangerous aspect of the biden platform is the attack on Public Safety. Manifesto calls for denying cash bail, immediately releasing 400 thousand criminals onto the streets and into your neighborhoods. When asked if he supports Cutting Police funding, joe biden replied, yes, absolutely. Omarcongresswoman ilhan called the Minneapolis Police department a cancer that is rotten to the root, biden would not disavow her support and reject her endorsement. He proudly displayed it later on his website. Displayed it in big letters. Make no mistake, if you give power to joe biden, the radical left will defund Police Departments all across america. They will pass federal legislation to reduce Law Enforcement nationwide. They will make every city look like democrat run portland, oregon. No one will be safe in bidens america. My administration will always stand with the men and women of Law Enforcement. [applause] every day, Police Officers risk their lives to keep us safe, and every year many sacrifice their lives in the line of duty. One of these incredible americans was detective familia. She was part of a team of american heroes called the nypd, or new yorks finest, who i was very proud to get there endorsement just the other day. Great people. [applause] they were allowed to do their job. You have no crime in new york. Rudy giuliani knows that better than anybody. Thank you, rudy. Three years ago on the fourth of july weekend, detective familia was on duty in her vehicle when she was ambushed just after midnight and murdered by a monster who hated her purely for wearing the badge. Detective familia was a single mom. She recently asked for the night shift so she could spend more time with her kids. Frontars ago, i stood in of the u. S. Capitol alongside those beautiful children and held their grandmothers hand as they mourned the terrible loss. And we honored detective familias extraordinary life. It was extraordinary. Detective familias three children are with us this evening. Janice, peter, delilah, we are so grateful to have you here tonight. Thank you very much for coming. [applause] thank you very much. [applause] thank you very much. [applause] i promise you that we will treasure your mom in our memories forever. We must remember that the overwhelming majority of Police Officers in this country, and that is the overwhelming majority, are noble, courageous, and honorable. We have to give Law Enforcement, our police, back their power. [applause] they are afraid to act. They are afraid to lose their pension. They are afraid to lose their jobs. And by being afraid, they are not able to do the job that they so desperately want to do for you. And those who suffer most are the great people who they protect and who they want to. Rotect at an even higher level when there is police misconduct, the Justice System must hold wrongdoers completely accountable, and it will. But when we can never have a situation where things are going we mustey are today, never allow mob rule. We can never allow mob rule. [applause] strongest possible terms, the Republican Party condemns the rioting, looting, arson, and violence we have seen in democrat run cities all, like kenosha, minneapolis, portland, chicago, and new york, and many others. There is violence and danger in the streets of many democrat run cities throughout america. This problem could easily be fixed if they wanted to. Just call, we are ready to go in. We will take care of your problem in a matter of hours. Just call. We have to wait for the call. It is too bad we have to, but we have to wait for the call. We must always have law order. All federal crimes are being investigated and punished to the full extent of the law. When the anarchists started ripping down our statues and monuments right outside, i signed an order immediately, 10 years in prison, and it was a miracle. It all stopped. No more statues. [applause] they said, that is too long. They said, 10 years in prison . I think that is too long. Lets go home. During their convention, joe biden and his supporters remained completely silent about the rioters and criminals spreading mayhem in democrat run cities. They never even mentioned it during their entire convention. Never once mentioned. Now, they are starting to mention it because their poll numbers are going down like a rock in water. [applause] it is too late, joe. Leftwinge of anarchy and mayhem in minneapolis, chicago, and others, joe bidens campaign did not condemn it. They donated to it. At least 13 members of joe hasens campaign donated to a fund to bailout vandals, arsons, and arcus, looters, and writers from jail anarchists, looters, and rioters from jail. Joining us is an eight year voter and of the st. Louis police department, a great man and a highly respected man by all. Was shotcaptain dorn and killed as he tried to protect a store from rioters and looters. Or as the democrats would call them, peaceful protesters. They call them peaceful protesters. We are honored to be joined tonight by his wonderful wife and beloved family members. To each of you, we will never forget the heroic legacy of captain david dorn. Thank you very much for being here. [applause] thank you very much. Great man. Long as i am president , we will defend the absolute right of every american citizen to live in security, dignity, and peace. If the Democrat Party wants to stand with anarchists, agitators, rioters, looters, and flag burners, that is up to them. But i as your president will not be part of it. The Republican Party will remain the voice of the patriotic heroes who keep america safe and salute the American Flag. s [applause] [applause] last year, over 1000 africanamericans were murdered as a result of Violent Crime in just four democrat run cities. The top 10 most dangerous cities in the country are run by democrats and have been for many decades. Thousands more africanamericans crime inms of violent these communities. Joe biden and the left ignore these american victims. I never will help. I never will. They will apply their disastrous policies to every town, city, and suburban america. Imagine if the socalled peaceful demonstrators were in charge of every lever of power in the u. S. Government. Just think of that. Politicians claim to be concerned about the strength of american institutions, but who exactly is attacking them . Who is hiring the radical professors, judges, and prosecutors . Who is trying to abolish Immigration Enforcement and establish speech codes designed to muzzle dissent . In every case, the attacks on american institutions are being waged by radical left. Always remember, they are coming after me because i am fighting for you. That is what is happening. [applause] it has been going on from before i even got elected. [applause] remember this, they spied on my campaign and they got caught. Lets see now what happens. Must reclaim our independence from the lefts repressive mandates. Americans are exhausted, trying to keep up with the latest lists of approved words and phrases, and the ever more restrictive political decrees. Many things have a different name now, and the roles are constantly changing and the rules are constantly changing. The idea of cancel culture is to make americans shamed, humiliated, and driven from society as we know it. The farleft wants to coerce you into saying what you know to be false and scare you out of saying what you know to be true. Very sad. Sendn november 3, you can them a very thundering message they will never forget. [applause] thank you. Years]g four more joe biden is weak. He takes his marching orders who liberal hypocrites drive their cities while fleeing from the scene of the wreckage. The same liberals want to eliminate School Choice while they enroll their children into the finest private schools in the land. They want to open the borders while living in waldorf compounds and communities and the best neighborhoods in the world. They want to defund the police while they have armed guards for themselves. This november, we must turn the page forever on this failed political class. The fact is, i am here. [applause] what is the name of that building . [applause] the fact is, we are here and they are not. [applause] to me, one of the most beautiful buildings anywhere in the world is not a building, it is a home, as far as i am concerned. Not even a house, it is a home. Wonderful place with an incredible history. But it is all because of you. The next we will write chapter of the Great American story. Over the next four years, we will make america into the manufacturing superpower of the world. We will expand opportunity zones. Thank you, tim scott. Bring home our medical supply go rightnd we will after china. We will not rely on them one bit. We are taking our business out of china. We are bringing it home. We want our business to come home. We will continue to reduce taxes and regulations at levels not seen before. We will create 10 million jobs in the next 10 months. And it will be higher than that.
