Democrats and joe biden and Kamala Harris referring to them as radical leftists, and violence and chaos is a result of democratic leadership. And so the president again stressing that issue of law and order but certainly paramount in americans minds, the coronavirus pandemic, we have yet to hear about that except in economic terms and lives it has claimed. And also paramount is the racial tension that were seeing and calls for justice that much of our newscast has been about, especially athletes that President Trump publicly quarreled with, kneeling for the national anthem. So there is a lot at play here tonight. And it will be interesting to see how the speakers particularly Vice President pence address those issue is, so with that well have a full wrapup later, lets get back to the rnc stream. We need more leaders like President Trump who understand freedoms that pay up the fabric of america. My fellow americans, specifically my democrat and independent friends, it is now time for us tonight and put aside partisan barriers, help us win back the house, keep the senate, and give our president four more years and i will promise you, we will make you proud. Thank you, and god bless the United States of america. Standing guard over Baltimore Harbor are is the remains of an earthen star a relic of time past. It was recall acetyl when the spirit of liberty stirred in men of renoun who stood in the gap against the most powerful force in the world, 27 hours a thousand men, low on ammunition firing scrap metal, the bad he will raged, insurmountable odds, a darkness fell upon this new nation. In the midst of the fight the heros of fort mchenry were unmoved. The light of dawn overcame the darkness. The gallant flag hoisted above fort mchenry torn and battered stood victoriously observing a dejected enemy slowly retreating into the rising sun, inspiring the anthem of our nation. The spirit of liberty, not to be denied, the earth earn star, fort mchenry, a reminder of those brave patriots who having done all stood and prevailed. It is why we stand today. Honoring past, present and future generations of freedom loving americans when we hear the anthem. And raise the stars spangled banner. Good evening, america. Im lara trump. Sister to kyle, mother to luke and carolina, and the daughter inlaw of our 45th president donald j trump. I come to you simply as an american. My life began like many in our country, i grew up in wrightsville beach, North Carolina, my parents were Small Business owners and worked hard to make sure my brother and i had everything we needed but not everything we wanted. My parents raised me to believe that in america, i could achieve anything with hard work and determination. But the opportunities available to me were limited only by the size of my ambition, that i should dream big and i did. Those very dreams are what lead me to new york city, i herd the add damage if i can make it there i can make it anywhere and i intended to do just that. Never in a million years did i think i would be on this stage tonight and i certainly never thought that i would end up with the last name trump. My 7th grade english teacher mrs. B used to tell us, believe none of what you hear, half of what you read, and only what youre there to witness firsthand. The meaning of those words never fully weighed on me until i met my husband and the trump family. Any preconceived notion i had of this family disappeared immediately. They were warm and caring. They were hard workers. And they were down to earth. They reminded me of my own family, they made me feel like i was home. Walking the halls of the Trump Organization i saw the same family environment. I also saw the count less women executives who thrived there year after year. Gender didnt matter, what mattered was the ability to get the job can you. I learned this directly when in 2016 my fatherinlaw asked me to win my cherished home state and my daughters namesake, North Carolina. I had no political experience, he believed in me. He knew i was capable even if i didnt. So it didnt surprise me when President Donald Trump appointed so many women to senior level positions in his administration. Secretary of the united nations, secretary of the air force, the first female cia director, the first black female director of the fish and wildlife service, and countless ambassadors just to name a few. Under President Trumps leadership, womens unemployment hit the lowest level since world war ii. 4. 3million new jobs have been created for women in 2019 alone, women took over 70 of all new jobs. Female Small Business ownership remains at an all time high, 600,000 women have been lifted out of poverty all since President Trump took office. He didnt do these things to gain a vote or check a box, he did them because they are the right things to do. 100 years ago today the 19th amendment was ratified granting the right to vote to every american woman. And since that day incredible strides have been made by women in america. From Amelia Ehrhardt to rosa parks and sally ride, women shaped our history and part of what made our country the most exceptional nation in the world. I often think back to my 24 yearold self, driving alone in my car from North Carolina to new york city, and i think about what i would tell myself now as we head towards the most critical election in modern history. This is not just a choice between republican and democrat. Or left and right. This is an election that will decide if we keep America America or if we head down an uncharted frightening path toward socialism. Abraham lincoln once said, america will never be destroyed from the outside. If we faulter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. While those word were spoken over 150 years ago, never have they been more relevant. Will we choose the right path and maintain the unique freedoms and boundless opportunities that make this country the greatest in the history of the world. Will remain the beacon of hope for those around the world fighting oppression, communism and tyranny, the choice is ours. I know the promise of america because ive lived it. Not just as a member of the trump family but as a woman who knows what its like to work in blue collar jobs to serve customers for tips and to aspire to rise. When i look at my son luke and my daughter carolina, what sort of country will i be leaving for them, for our future generations, weve seen weak spine less politicians seek control of defund the bliss is the rallying cry for the new radical democrat party. Joe biden will not do what it takes to maintain order. To keep our children safe and our neighborhoods and in their schools, to restore our american way of life. We cannot dare to dream our biggest dreams for ourselves or for our children while consumed by worry about the safety of our families. President trump is the law and order president. From our borders to our backyards. President trump will keep america safe. President trump will keep america prosperous. President trump will keep America America. If youre watching to night and wrestling with your vote on november 3rd , i implore you, tune out the distorted news and bias commentary and hear it straight from someone who knows. I wasnt born a trump, im from the south. I was raised a carolina girl. I went to Public Schools and worked my way through a state university. Mrs. B from my 7th grade english class was right, what i learned about our president is different than what you might have heard. I learned that he is a goodman, he didnt need this job, that no one on earth works harder for the American People, that he is willing to fight for his beliefs and for the people and the country that he loves. He is a person of conviction. Is he a fighter and will never stop fighting for america. Reuphold our values. He will preserve our families. And rebuild upon the Great American ticketed that our union will never be perfect until opportunity is equal for all, including and especially for women. And america above all places gives us the freedom to do that. Its up to us to keep this country a place where no dreams is out of reach for our children and generations beyond. To my fatherinlaw, thank you for believing in me. Thank you for bravely leading this country and thank you for continuing to fight every day for america. May god bless and protect the gulf states in the path of the hurricane. May god bless our troops and may god continue to bless this incredible country. Good evening. My name is sam, there is a whole in my heart since my beloved jackie was taken from me. This is her story. There were two things that jackie loved to do every day. One was to go to the gym and put out bible verts and prayers to her friends. On november 19th the tweets stopped. That day started out like any other day, she left are for the gym early in the morning. I heard the garage door open. Seconds later i herd the car horn, i went outside to see if she had forgotten something. What i saw was a jeep blocking her car in the driveway. I noticed the bullet hole in jackies window. I saw someone jumping into the jeep and speeding away. Jackie had just been shot and killed in cold blood. We think this was a carjacking gone wrong, very wrong. Every time i open the garage door or stand in the driveway i hear that horn. I see her slumped in the seat where when i go to bed at night, that sound and image haunt me, thats my life sentence, its a sentence being served by too many families left behind by senseless skillings. Albuquerque where i live is one of the most violent cities in the country, fewer than 50 of homicides are solved. It is a sad irony that jackie immigrated to the u. S. For a better life than never native columbia to be gunned down in her own driveway. For eight months there were no arrests, no leads in connection with jackies murder. The police were overwhelmed. They needed help. Help arrive from President Trump launched operation legend in july of this year. Almost immediately, the fbi took over jackies case. In a matter of days, they arrested four people, the fifth suspect killer was arrested in texas on unrelated charges. He is an illegal immigrant with a long criminal record, had he been deported in september and had come back in october to terrorize our community. I am extremely grateful to President Trump and the fbi for the reference to deliver justice for jackie and all the other innocent victims of violent crime. I am honored to support the president because he is supporting us of the i know he will never stop fighting for justice, law and order, peace, security in our communities. Greetings my fellow americans. I am clarence henderson. There have been movements that have changed the course of history. Among the most extraordinary was the Civil Rights Movement. 60 years ago segregation was legal and enforce. The simple act of sitting at a lunch counter could lead to physical harm, jail time or worse. I know from personal experience. Walking into a Woolworth Department store february 2nd, 1960 i knew it was unlike any day i had experienced before. My friends had denied service the day before because of the color of their skin. We knew it wasnt right. But when we went back the next day, i didnt know whether i was going to come out in assert call or prone position in handcuffs or on a stretcher. Or even answer body bag. By sitting down to order a cup of coffee, we challenged injustice, we knew it was necessary. But we didnt know what would happen. We faced down the kkk. We were cursed at and called all kinds of names. They fronted to kill us and some of us were arrested. But, it was worth it. Our actions inspired similar protests throughout the south against racial injustice. And in the end, segregation was abolished and our country move add step closer to true equality for all. Thats what actual peaceful protests can accomplish. America isnt perfect. We are always improving but the great thing about this country is that its not where you come from, its where you are going. I was born on what some would call the wrong side of the tracks. I dont even have a birth certificate. I never attended an integrated school. And am the only one out 0 of my immediate family who graduated from college. Im a military veteran and a civil rights activist and do you know what else . Im a republican. And i support donald trump. If that sounds strange, you dont know your history. It was the Republican Party that passed the 13th amendment, abolishing slavery, it was the Republican Party that passed the 14th amendment giving black then citizen ship. It was the Republican Party that passed the 15th amendment giving black minute right to vote. Freedom is a powerful thing. They are americans, voters all over the country who media is trying to convince to conform to the same old democratic talking points. Do you know what that will get you this the same old results. Joe biden had the audacit to say if you dont vote for him, you aint black. Well to that i say if you do vote for biden you dont know history. Donald trump is not a politician. Is he a leader. Politicians are a dime a dozen, leaders are priceless. The record funding trump gave hbcu is priceless, so are the Record Number of jobs he created for the black community. And the investment he drove into our neighborhoods with tax incentives and opportunity zones, and so are the lives he restored by past and criminal Justice Reform where 91 of the inmates released are black. These achievements demonstrate that donald trump truly cares about black lives, his policies show his heart. He has done more for black americans in four years than joe biden has done in 50. Donald trump is offering real and lasting change, and unprecedented opportunity to rise. A country that embraces the spirit of the Civil Rights Movement of the 60s. A place where a people are judged by the conduct of their character, their talents and abilities not by the color of their skin. This is the america i was fighting for 60 years ago. This is the America Donald trump is fighting for today. Lets all join in this fight for reelecting President Trump on november 3rd. Thank you. During the president ial primary debates four years ago, one outsider stood alone. Instead in public what most americans said in private. It was 14 years after the start of the war in afghanistan and 12 years after the invasion of iraq. Where thousands of american troops had died, and trillions in taxpayer dollars had been spent. And yet no candidate could bring themselves to admit that something had gone badly wrong with American Foreign policy. But the american voter, the american soldier, and the american taxpayer had all been let down. Except for one. Donald trump. He called americas endless wars what they were. A disaster. The media was shocked because donald trump was running as a republican. And yet he said out loud what we all knew. That American Foreign policy was failing to make americans safer. After the end of the cold war, democrats and republicans in washington bouts into the illusion that the whole world would start to resemble america so they started to pursue unlimited globalization. They welcomed china into the world trade organization. They engaged in nation building in afghanistan. And tried to export democracy to iraq. They signed a nuclear deal with iran. And a Global Climate agreement in paris. But they didnt ground any of it in the interests of the average american. So for decades while washington politicians built a global system, american wages stagnanted. Our great cities and industries were hallowed out, entire communities were testify stated and manufacturing plants were shipped off to china. Thats what happened when washington stopped being the capital of the United States and started being the capital of the world. As u. S. Ambassador to germany, hi a front row seat to Donald TrumpsAmerica FirstForeign Policy. I wish every american could see how President Trump negotiates on their behalf. Ive watched President Trump charm the chancellor of germany, while insisting that germany pay its nato obligations. I was proud to witness President Trump say to foreign leaders, i dont blame you for wanting america to pay for your security, i actually respect you for out negotiating the president s before me. But it stops with me. I wont let the american taxpayer be taken advantage of. Donald Trumps Administration has always made clear that our priority is the American Peoples security. Thats the job of all leaders. To put their people first. And weve seen how this strategy has succeeded. In four short years donald trump has led even some washington democrats to agree on the chinese threat. On trade deal that benefit America First, on alliances that share responsibility. In four years donald trump didnt start any new wars, he brought troops home. He rebuilt the military, and signed peace deal that make americans safer. The washington elites want to you think this kind of Foreign Policy is immoral. And so they call it nationalists. That tells you all you need to know. The dc crowd thinks when they call donald trump a nationalist, they are insulting him. As if the american president isnt supposed to base Foreign Policy on Americas National interests. A return to the biden way of thinking means america gives the radical terrorists regime in tehran a plane load of cash in the middle of the night. Well you see, President Trump also sent an aircraft in the middle of the night to deal with iran. But that plane was on a different mission. An air strike to take out the head of irans terror machine who 0 plotted the deaths of americans. But we also must be clear, that when those who seek freedom take tremendous personal risk in places like hong kong, tehran or minsk. We will always stand with the people who fight for their god given freedoms. Dont be fooled. The washington establishment is trying to sell you on their candidate. Joe biden was first elected to the senate in 1972. 48 years ago. Well, its actually the typical washington story. Just this year 22 democrats ran for president. They rejected all of the outsiders and nominated the ultimate washington insider. Someone they had to pull out 0 of retirement. Every time joe biden offer has new idea, you should ask yourself, why didnt he try that over the last 48 years . Today the democrats blame a Global Pandemic that started in china on President Trump. And they still blame russia for Hillary Clintons loss in 2016. As acting director of national intelligence, i saw the democrats entire case for russian collusion and what i saw made me sick to my stomach. The Obama Biden Administration secretly launched a surveillance operation on the Trump Campaign and silenced the many brave intelligence officials who spoke up against it. They presented bogus information as facts. They lied to judges. Then they classified anything that undermined their case. And after donald trump won the election, when they should have continued the american tradition of helping the president elect transition into the white house, they tried instead to under cut him even more. Former Vice President joe biden asked intelligence officials to uncover the Hidden Information on President Trumps Incoming National security advisor three weeks before the inauguration. Thats the democrats. Between surveillance classifications, leaks and puppet candidates, they never want the American People to know who is actually calling the shots. But with donald trump, you always know exactly who is in charge. Because the answer is you. Youre in charge. Not lobbyists, not special interests. Not war mongers or globalization fanatics. With donald trump and mike pence in the white house, the boss is the American People. President trump rightly calls his Foreign PolicyAmerica First. America first does not advance the interests of one group of americans at the expense of another. It has no bias about red or blue, educated or not educated, urban or rural. America first is simply the belief that politicians should focus on the equality and dignity of every american. And that this duty is fulfilled by promoting the safety and wealth of the American People above all else. Thats America First. Thats the trump doctrine. And that, my friends, is four more years. By dawns early might, millions of americans give thanks for this land, our libbers and those who defend it. That same pride inspired the words of our national anthem, and here as the smoke of battle lifted over two centuries ago. When those american soldiers bravely fought and died, they did so not only for our people which that flag represented, but for our principles for which the flag stood. Our god given freedoms, the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of lab pi necessary, equality under the law. Government by the people, these are the threads that bind us together as americans. For we are not a nation born of blood but of belief. There are heros throughout our history who have picked up those at that timerred strands, mended them and raised our flag i cant new. Greeting across the am per waves of grain, this is mike pence. Across indiana highways and homes. His voice warmly welcomed hoosiers each morning, mike pence filled the radio waves with conservative commentary guarding our american ideals. But like the man who inspired him. Mike didnt grow up a republican. As president reagan said, freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. His grandfather was a hard working irish immigrant who drove a bus. His father served our nation bravely in the korean war and earned a bronze star. Mike was the third of six children raised here in columbus, indiana with a corn field in his backyard. The foundation of america is freedom. And the foundation of freedom is faith. It was in this small indiana town, his foundation of faith in jesus christ was laid. And from that conviction, sprung his love of people and service to others. It was at a Church Service where mike met the love of his life, karen. They married and have three children, michael, charlotte and audrey. Im a christian, a conservative and a republican in that order. Mike became the president of a free market think tank, the host of a state wide conservative radio show and then a congressman. In washington, mike quickly became known as a foremost defender of freedom, he led conservatives in the family, faith, life, liberty and limited government. Our nations strength begins at home because Strong Families make a strong america. Mike earned the trust of the people of his state and became the 50th governor of indiana. He delivered the large estate tax cut in indiana history expanded school of choice, led the country in manufacturing, and helped more hoosiers get to work. But he wasnt through. Donald trump will choose indiana governor mike pence to be his running mate. Would like to introduce a man who i truly believe will be the next Vice President of the United States. Governor mike pence. As our Vice President , mike pence has held tightly to those threads of freedom, woven through our history, leading with those principles alongside President Trump our nation experienced prosperity like never before. He is solid as a rock, he has been a fantastic Vice President. And now in these uncertain days, we are equipped to overcome. In times of trouble, some call to retreat from those ideals. But americans throughout history have lifted them in triumph, hope and resilience. Mike pence knows those stars and stripes do not merely represent who we are, but more importantly what we can be. As the sun rises again on america, we lift our eyes to those lofty truths, to guide our country and everyone of us to greater heights. In this land of the free, and home of the brave. Vice president mike pence. Please welcome the Vice President of the United States, mike pence. Accompanied by the second lady, mrs. Karen pence. Good evening america. Its an honor to speak to you tonight. From the hallowed grounds of fort mchenry. The site of the very battle that inspired the words of our national anthem. Those words have inspired this land of heros in every generation since. It was on this site 206 years ago when our heroic public with stood a bomb beyond a reasonable doubtment from the most powerful empire on earth. They came to crush our revolution. To divide our nation and to end the american experiment. The heros who held this fort took their stand for life, liberty, freedom and the american flag. And those ideals have defined our nation. But they were hardly ever mentioned at last weeks Democratic National convention. Instead, democrats spent four days attacking america. Joe biden said that we were living through a season of darkness. But as President Trump said, where joe biden sees american darkness we see american greatness. In these challenging times our country needs a president who believes in america. Who believes in the boundless capacity of the American People. To meet any challenge, defeat any foe and defend the freedoms we hold dear. America needs four more years of President Donald Trump in the white house. Before i go further allow me to say a word to the families and communities in the path of hurricane laura. My prayers are with you tonight. And our administration is working closely with authorities in the states that will be impacted. Fema has mobilized resources and supplies for those in harms way. This is a serious storm. And we urge all those in the affected areas to heed state and local authorities. Stay safe and know we will be with you every step of the way to support, rescue, respond and recover in the days and weeks ahead. Thats what americans do. Four years ago i answered the call to join this ticket. Because i knew that donald trump had the leadership and the vision to make America Great again. And for the last four years i have watched this president endure unrelenting attacks but get up every day and fight to keep the promises that he made to the American People. So with gratitude for the confidence President Donald Trump has placed in me, the support of our Republican Party, and the grace of god, i humbly accept your nomination to run and serve as Vice President of the United States. Serving the American People in this office has been a journey i never expected. Its a journey that would not have been possible without the support of my family. Beginning with my wonderful wife karen. She is a lifelong School Teacher, an incredible mother to our three children, and she is one outstanding second lady of the United States. Im so proud of her. And we couldnt be more proud of our three children. Marine corps captain michael j pence and his wife sarah. Our daughter, charlotte pence bond, an author and a wife to lieutenant henry bond who is currently deployed and serving our nation in the United States navy. And our youngest, a recent law school grad, our daughter audrey and her fiance who like so many other americans had to delay their wedding this summer. But we cant wait for dan to be a part of our family. In addition, my wife and kids, the person who shaped my life the most is also with us tonight. My mom, nancy. She is the daughter of an irish immigrant. 97 years young. And mom follows politics very closely. The truth be told sometimes i think im second favorite candidate on the trump pence ticket. Thank you, mom. I love you. Over the past four years, ive had the privilege to work closely with our president. Ive seen him when the cameras are off. Americans see President Trump in lots of different ways. But there is no doubt how President Trump sees america. He sees america for what it is. A nation that has done more good in this world than any other. A nation that deserves far more gratitude than grievance. And if you want a president who falls silent when our heritage is demeaned or insulted, he is not your man now we came by very different routes to this partnership. And some people think were a little bit different. But you know i learned a few things watching him. Watching him deal with all that weve been through over the past four years. He does things in his own way on his own terms. Not much gets passed him. And when he has an opinion he is liable to share it. He certainly kept things interesting. But more importantly, President Donald Trump has kept his word to the American People. In a city known for talkers, President Trump is a doer. And few president s have brought more independence, energy or determination to that office. Four years ago we inherited a military hollowed out by devastating budget cuts, an economy struggling to break out of the slowest recovery since the Great Depression. Isis control add land mass twice the size of pennsylvania. And we witnessed a steady assault on our most cherished values, freedom of religion and the right to life. Thats when President Donald Trump stepped in. And from day one he kept his word. We rebuilt our military. This president signed the largest increase in our National Defense since the days of Ronald Reagan and created the first new branch of our armed forces in 70 years, the United States space force. And with that renewed energy we also returned american astronauts to space on an american rocket for the first time in nearly ten years. And after years of scandal that robbed our veterans of the care that you earned in the uniform of the United States, President Trump kept his word again. We reformed the va and veterans choice is now available for every veteran in america. Our armed forces and our veterans fill this land of heros. And many join us tonight in had historic fort. Tonight we have among us four recipients of the medal of honor. Six recipients of the purple heart. Gold star mother of a gallant navy seal. And Wounded Warriors from soldiers strong, a group that serves our injured veterans every day. We are honored by your presence and we thank you for your service. Heros just like thee defend this nation every day. Under this commander in chief, weve taken the fight to radical islamic terrorists on our terms on their soil. Last Year American armed forces took the last inch of isis territory, crushed their caliphate and took down their leader without one american casualty. And i was there when President Trump gave the order to take out the worlds most dangerous terrorist, irans top general will never harm another american because salomani is gone. My fellow americans you deserve to know, joe biden criticized President Trump following those decisions. Decision is to rid the world of two terrorist leaders. But its not surprising. Because history records that joe biden even opposed the operation that took down osama bin laden. Its no wonder that the secretary of defense under the Obama Biden Administration once said that joe biden has been and i wrong on nearly every major Foreign Policy and National Security issue over the past four decades. So weve stood up to our enemies. And we stood with our allies. Like when President Trump kept his word and moved the American Embassy to jerusalem, the capital of the state of israel. Setting the stage for the first arab country to recognize israel in 26 years. Closer to home, we appointed more than 200 conservative judges to our federal courts. We supported the right to life. And all the god given liberties enshrined in our contusion including the 2nd amendment right to keep and bear arms. And when it came to the economy, President Trump kept his word and then some. We passed the largest tax cut and reform in american history. We rolled back more federal tape than any administration ever had. Unleashed American Energy and fought for free and fair trade. In our first three years businesses large and small created more than 7 million good paying jobs including 500,000 manufacturing jobs all across america. Our country became a net exporter of energy are for the first time in 70 years. Unemployment rates for African Americans and hispanic americans hit the lowest level ever recorded. And on this 100th anniversary of the womans right to vote, im proud to report that under President Donald Trump we achieved the lowest Unemployment Rate for women in 65 years. And more americans working than ever before. In our first three years we built the greatest economy in the world. We made America Great again. And then the coronavirus struck from china. Before the first case of the Coronavirus Spread within the United States, the president took unprecedented action and suspended all travel from china the second largest economy in the world. Now that action saved untold american lives. And can i tell you firsthand, it bought us in valuable time to launch the greatest National Mobilization since world war ii. President trump marshalled the full resources of our federal government from the outset, form a Seamless Partnership with governors across america in both political parties. We partnered with private industry to reinvent testing. And produce supplies that were distributed to hospitals. Today were conducting more than 800,000 tests a day. And we have coordinated the delivery of billions of pieces of personal protective equipment for our amazing doctors, nurses and healthcare workers. We saw the manufacturer of 100,000 ventilators in 100 days. And no one who required a ventilator was ever denied a ventilator in the United States. We built hospitals. Surged medical military personnel. As we speak, were developing a growing number of treatments, known as therapeutics including convalescent plasma that are saving lives all across america. Now last week joe biden said that no miracle is coming. Well what joe doesnt seem to understand is that america is a nation of miracles. And im proud to report that were on track to have the worlds first is, effective Coronavirus Vaccine by the end of this year after all the sacrifice in this year like no other, all the hardship, were finding our way forward again. But tonight our hearts are with all the family whose have lost loved ones. And have family members still struggling with serious illness. In this country we mourn with those who mourn, we grieve with those who grieve. And this night i know that millions of americans will pause and pray for gods comfort for each of you. You know, our country doesnt get through such a time unless its people find strength within. The responsive doctors, nurses, first responders, farmers, factory workers, truckers and every day americans who put the health and safety of their neighbors first has been nothing short of heroic. Veronica seyes put on her scrubs every day, day in and day out went to work in one of new york citys busiest hospitals. Chested on the job, put in the long hours until it was done. And then got back in her neighborhood and helped neighbors and friends struggling. Her brother william is a new york city firefighter. And they are both emblematic of heros all across this country. They are with us tonight. And i say to them and all of you, you have earned the admiration of the American People and we will always be grateful for your service and care. Thanks to the courage and compassion of the American People, were slowing the spread. Were protecting the vulnerable. And were saving lives. And were opening up america again. Because of the Strong Foundation that President Trump poured in our first three years weve already gained back 9. 3 million jobs in the last three months alone. And were not just opening up america again, were opening up americas schools. And im proud to report that my wife karen, that School Teacher i have been married to, will be returning to her classroom next week and so all of our heroic teachers and faculty and staff, thank you for being there for our kids, were going to stay with you every step of the way. In dad i Jason Sunderland head as we open up america again i promise you. Well continue to put the health of America First. On november 3rd you need to ask yourself, who do you trust to rebuild this economy . A career politician who presided over the slowest economic recovery since the Great Depression or a proven leader who created the greatest economy in the world, the choice is clear to bring america all the way back, we need four more years of President Donald Trump in the white house. My fellow americans were passing through a tile of testing. In the midst of this Global Pandemic, just as our nation had gun to recover, weve seen violence and chaos in the streets of our major cities. President trump and i will always such port the right of americans to peaceful protests. But rioting and looting is not peaceful protests. Tearing down statues is not free speech. And those who do so will be prosecutorred to l fullest extent of the law. Last week joe biden didnt say one word about the violence and chaos engulfing cities across this country. So let me be clear, the violence must stop whether in minneapolis, portland, or kenosha, too many heros have died defending our freedom to see Americans Strike each other down. We will have law and order on the streets of this country for every american of every race and creed and color President Trump and i know the men and women who put on the uniform of Law Enforcement are the best of us.
