The freedom to do what is right and good. For yourself and your family. To accomplish dreams. To live securely. To help others. Not by the force of government, but by the goodness of heart. Where rights are not granted by government or claimed by identities, but are unalienable. As members of the human race. Today, americas greatness is challenged by those with extreme notions. Defunding Law Enforcement as lawlessness abounds. Hateful rhetoric telling you what to wear and when you can work. Limiting free speech and freedom of worship. Ideas. Let us restore the values that made America Great. We will make america strong again. Returned to the highest standard. We will make america proud again. A land of freedom of speech and worship. We will make america safe again. Command of security and prosperity. And we will make America Great again. A land of greatness. From washington, d. C. , welcome to the 2020 Republican National convention. Tonight, celebrating america is the land of greatnes

Reopen schools safely and effectively. Backtoschool has always been a special time. It is in your family and mine, but particularly in mine, all the years jill and i were married, she was going back to school, too, as a teacher. She would be the first one to tell you this should be a season of promise for our country. Times when classrooms are crackling with the possibilities of the new year, students hopes, all about the future. But this year, we are facing the most difficult circumstances. We are seeing a lot of heart and grit from our educators, our students, to try to rise to the occasion. But our government has not come up to that bar. Hasnt shown much grit or determination. To be clear, if President Trump and his administration had done their jobs early on with this crisis, american schools would be open and open safely. Instead, American Families across this country are paying the price for his failures and his administrations failures. Like many of you, because you are reporter

I will be going this weekend and congratulations, thank you for that greatjob out there. We really appreciate it.
