America First - Nicholas J. Fuentes - Republican National Convention Day 4

00:00:30.000 We're good.

00:02:25.000 Let's do it.

00:03:11.000 Sorry to keep you waiting, complicated business.

00:03:24.000 The more that a broken system tells you that you're wrong, the more certain you should be that you must keep pushing ahead.

00:03:35.000 Because it's the outsiders who change the world and who make a real and lasting difference.

00:03:41.000 Nothing worth doing ever came easy.

00:03:46.000 Treat the word impossible as nothing more than motivation.

00:03:52.000 The future belongs to the people who follow their heart no matter what the critics say.

00:03:59.000 We must always remember that we share one home and one glorious destiny.

00:04:07.000 We all bleed the same red blood of patriots.

00:04:11.000 We all salute the same great American flag.

00:04:16.000 Our best days are yet to come.

00:05:08.000 The American dream is dead.

00:05:11.000 But if I get elected president...

00:09:39.000 But as soon as people start playing games, I stop.

00:09:41.000 I stop playing games.

00:09:44.000 And at any moment...

00:10:15.000 Not my words, not my rules.

00:10:17.000 I just enforce them, alright?

00:11:01.000 Warming up, everybody.

00:11:30.000 We're good.

00:12:16.000 This is from your biggest Protestant fan, may you one day see the light.

00:12:20.000 Well, hey, thanks, love you too, but sorry, I believe in a religion that makes sense, so... Napoleon, Alexander the Great, Donald Trump were all cut from the same cloth, and that cloth is very, very large.

00:12:34.000 It's not too big, is it?

00:12:38.000 Okay.

00:12:38.000 It's wrong, isn't it?

00:12:40.000 It feels so right.

00:12:41.000 It's a deal.

00:13:46.000 Thank you very much.

00:13:47.000 I'm darling.

00:14:22.000 Everything's set for tonight, Mr. Trump.

00:14:24.000 I wonder what Trump's game is this time.

00:14:27.000 Trump's got a new day!

00:14:31.000 Trump's got a new deal!

00:15:10.000 This sounds like political presidential talk.

00:15:15.000 You said, though, that if you did run for president, you believe you'd win.

00:15:18.000 I like that.

00:15:19.000 I would say that I would have a hell of a chance of winning.

00:15:25.000 I'd never go on to lose.

00:15:27.000 I've never gone on to lose in my life.

00:15:29.000 I don't know how your audience feels, but I think people are tired of seeing the United States ripped off.

00:15:37.000 That's the guy on the far right.

00:16:54.000 We can't go back to the past.

00:16:56.000 That's what people always say, isn't it?

00:16:58.000 They say, can we really go back?

00:17:00.000 And the answer is, whether you're conservative or liberal, right what you're left with, the answer is no.

00:17:06.000 We're never going back.

00:17:08.000 It's gone.

00:17:09.000 All of that is gone.

00:17:10.000 But I would call myself something like a Christian futurist instead, because Jesus Christ was our past before any of us were born or conceived.

00:17:21.000 Jesus Christ is our present now, and Jesus Christ is our future after we die on Earth.

00:17:34.000 We want this century to be the most Christian century in the history of planet Earth.

00:17:41.000 We love everybody.

00:17:42.000 And we want people that can burn, really, more than anybody.

00:17:47.000 But this country can no longer be held hostage by a small minority that doesn't believe in the real God.

00:17:57.000 The mission of our movement is to make this country a Christian country.

00:18:01.000 The mission is to create a Christian,

00:18:04.000 The only way we're going to do it is not by infiltrating, not by subverting, not by lying, which is what a lot of people do.

00:18:15.000 The only way that we're going to make this happen is with the fullness of a real Christian.

00:18:20.000 It's the only way.

00:18:22.000 We have got to be willing to die for Jesus Christ.

00:18:27.000 We have to want it more than they do because there are thousands and millions and tens of millions and hundreds of millions of Christians ready to meet their final destiny that nothing can stop us and nothing will.

00:18:55.000 We've been put on notice.

00:18:56.000 If you fuck around with us, if you do something bad to us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before.

00:19:04.000 Don't sit yet.

00:19:04.000 You're like this.

00:19:32.000 Globalists, Marxists and Communists who are attacking our civilization have no idea of the sleeping giant they have awoken.

00:19:45.000 They cannot even begin to imagine the brave and righteous spirit they've unleashed in men and women.

00:19:53.000 But they're going to find out the hard way.

00:19:55.000 They will find out like never before.

00:19:58.000 This nation belongs to you.

00:20:01.000 Belongs to you.

00:20:17.000 It was patriots like you that built this country, and it's patriots like you that are going to save our country.

00:20:26.000 To all of those who think that they can coerce and subjugate the citizens of this land, hear these words.

00:20:36.000 For me tonight, the people of America will not surrender our borders.

00:20:42.000 We will not surrender our culture.

00:20:45.000 We will not surrender our faith.

00:20:48.000 We will not surrender our values.

00:20:51.000 We will not surrender our history.

00:20:54.000 We will not surrender our liberty.

00:20:56.000 And above all, we will not surrender our children.

00:21:01.000 We are done with their distorted visions for America.

00:21:05.000 It's time to start talking about greatness for our country again.

00:21:09.000 We want our country to be great again.

00:21:12.000 We want our country to be respected.

00:21:28.000 The time for action has come.

00:21:32.000 As long as we are led by politicians who will not put America first, then we can be assured that other nations will not treat America with respect, the respect that we deserve.

00:22:15.000 Years from now, some of them may look back and ask themselves whether they've made the right choice, whether they've made the most of the opportunities they've been given.

00:22:26.000 Together, we have the same mission.

00:22:30.000 Over the course of your life, you will find that things are not always fair.

00:22:35.000 You will find that things happen to you that you do not deserve and that are not always warranted.

00:22:44.000 But you have to put your head down and fight, fight, fight.

00:22:50.000 Never, ever, ever give up.

00:22:54.000 Don't give in, don't back down, and never stop doing what you know is right.

00:23:00.000 Nothing worth doing ever, ever, ever came easy.

00:23:06.000 And the more righteous your fight, the more opposition that you will face.

00:23:12.000 In your hearts are inscribed the values of service, sacrifice, and devotion.

00:23:18.000 Now you must go forth into the world and turn your hopes and dreams into action.

00:23:25.000 America has always been the land of dreams because America is a nation of true believers.

00:23:32.000 When the Pilgrims landed

00:23:35.000 At Plymouth, they prayed.

00:23:38.000 When the founders wrote the Declaration of Independence, they invoked our Creator four times.

00:23:46.000 Because in America, we don't worship government, we worship God.

00:23:51.000 It is why our currency proudly declares, in God we trust.

00:23:57.000 And it's why we proudly proclaim,

00:24:00.000 That we are one nation under God.

00:24:03.000 The story of America is the story of an adventure that began with deep faith, big dreams, and humble beginnings.

00:24:17.000 The next generation of American leaders never, ever give up.

00:24:25.000 There'll be times in your life you'll want to quit.

00:24:28.000 Never quit.

00:24:29.000 Never stop fighting for what you believe in and for the people who care about you.

00:24:35.000 Carry yourself with dignity and pride.

00:24:38.000 Demand the best from yourself.

00:24:41.000 The more people tell you it's not possible, that it can't be done, the more you should be absolutely determined to prove them wrong.

00:24:53.000 Treat the word impossible as nothing more than motivation.

00:25:03.000 Relish the opportunity to be an outsider.

00:25:05.000 The more that a broken system tells you that you're wrong, the more certain you should be that you must keep pushing ahead.

00:25:16.000 You must keep pushing forward.

00:25:20.000 And always have the courage to be yourself.

00:25:26.000 America is better when people put their faith into action.

00:25:32.000 Pray to God and follow his teachings.

00:25:36.000 Today, each of you begins a new chapter as well.

00:25:40.000 When your story goes from here, it will be defined by your vision, your perseverance, and your grit.

00:25:50.000 You will build a future where we have the courage to chase our dreams no matter what the cynics and the doubters have to say.

00:26:00.000 You will have the confidence to speak the hopes in your hearts and to express the love that stirs your souls.

00:26:09.000 As long as you have pride in your beliefs, courage in your convictions, and faith in God,

00:26:18.000 Then you will not fail.

00:26:21.000 As long as America remains true to its values, loyal to its citizens, and devoted to its creator, then our best days are yet to come.

00:27:11.000 May God bless the United States of America.

00:27:16.000 And I just want to let you know that God blesses you.

00:27:20.000 And I want to just say, you are special in every way.

00:27:26.000 God bless you, and God bless America.

00:27:28.000 Thank you very much.

00:27:29.000 Thank you.

00:27:46.000 We are going to make our country great again!

00:29:01.000 I don't care

00:30:00.000 Now it's time for new believable people.

00:30:00.000 69.

00:30:05.000 And we must do it.

00:30:07.000 If we don't control insiders, this will be over and over.

00:30:12.000 To lead by an A. Big, fat, love, find common ground.

00:30:17.000 To halt the spread of lies.

00:30:20.000 And we must do it.

00:30:21.000 Big, fat, love, find common ground.

00:30:24.000 To halt the spread of lies.

00:30:32.000 America First!

00:30:33.000 Non-fatal.

00:30:34.000 We want to build a much better, believable people.

00:30:38.000 And we must do it non-fatal.

00:30:41.000 Communication very much higher.

00:30:44.000 America First!

00:30:45.000 To lead it by an inning.

00:31:01.000 Of course!

00:31:06.000 69 now it's time for new believable people and we must do it if we don't control insiders this will be over and over to lead it by and any big fat love find common ground to halt the spread of lies and we must do it big fat love find common ground to halt the spread of lies and any

00:31:38.000 America first.

00:31:39.000 Non-fatal.

00:31:41.000 We want to build a much better, believable people.

00:31:45.000 And we must do it non-fatal.

00:31:47.000 Communication very much higher.

00:31:50.000 America first.

00:31:52.000 To lead it by an egg.

00:31:54.000 Insiders fighting for insiders.

00:31:56.000 Time to stop.

00:31:57.000 Insiders fighting for insiders.

00:31:59.000 More of.

00:32:01.000 Insiders fighting for insiders.

00:32:03.000 Time to stop.

00:32:05.000 Insiders fighting for insiders.

00:32:14.000 President Obama will go down as perhaps the worst president in the history of the United States.

00:32:21.000 At real Donald Trump.

00:32:23.000 Well, at real Donald Trump.

00:32:27.000 At least I will go down as a president.

00:32:34.000 Now America is once again at a moment of reckoning.

00:32:38.000 Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you, the American people.

00:32:43.000 We will make America great again!

00:33:22.000 I love this country.

00:33:25.000 It's payback time.

00:33:27.000 We're gonna take our country back from these people.

00:33:32.000 He will never be president.

00:33:34.000 I will move to Spain for someone.

00:33:55.000 We will make America great again!

00:34:01.000 I love you!

00:35:33.000 I don't know.

00:36:09.000 Let's do it.

00:37:28.000 I don't know.

00:38:14.000 Sorry to keep you waiting, complicated business.

00:38:27.000 The more that a broken system tells you that you're wrong, the more certain you should be that you must keep pushing ahead.

00:38:38.000 Because it's the outsiders who change the world and who make a real and lasting difference.

00:38:44.000 Nothing worth doing ever came easy.

00:38:49.000 Treat the word impossible as nothing more than motivation.

00:38:55.000 The future belongs to the people who follow their heart, no matter what the critics say.

00:39:01.000 We must always remember that we share one home,

00:39:06.000 And one glorious destiny.

00:39:09.000 We all bleed the same red blood of patriots.

00:39:14.000 We all salute the same great American flag.

00:39:18.000 Our best days are yet to come.

00:40:07.000 It would be wonderful if you have smart people.

00:40:10.000 But we have people that are stupid.

00:44:41.000 But as soon as people start playing games, I stop.

00:44:44.000 I stop playing games.

00:44:46.000 And at any moment...

00:45:16.000 Not my words, not my rules.

00:45:21.000 I just endorse them, alright?

00:46:03.000 We're good to go.

00:46:40.000 Americanism, not globalism, will be our credo!

00:46:47.000 It's going to be only America first.

00:46:52.000 America first.

00:46:56.000 The American people will come first once again.

00:47:22.000 America first!

00:47:25.000 America first!

00:48:04.000 Good evening, everybody.

00:48:06.000 You're watching America First.

00:48:07.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes, and we are back covering day four, final day of the Republican convention.

00:48:15.000 And we got Pompeo on, so we're just going to get to it here.

00:48:19.000 I'll be back in a sec.

00:48:20.000 Pressure campaign.

00:48:21.000 We gave money to the Ayatollah so he could cut more checks to the genocidal maniacs who conducted attacks, barbaric attacks in Israel.

00:48:31.000 And we're back.

00:48:33.000 And we're back.

00:48:49.000 Ladies and gentlemen, President Biden sold out our citizens and our security and our sovereignty, and we need to get it back, and I am confident that we will get it back.

00:48:56.000 He must have went on Ozempic.

00:48:57.000 He used to be huge.

00:48:59.000 They're all on Ozempic.

00:49:00.000 It's crazy.

00:49:02.000 Sarah Huckabee Sanders, this guy.

00:49:04.000 I had this incredible privilege to serve as your top diplomat.

00:49:09.000 I saw how the world always looks to our nation as the unrivaled example of what a free society should look like.

00:49:18.000 But unfortunately, President Biden struts the global stage.

00:49:23.000 Maybe I should say he shuffles the global stage.

00:49:26.000 He talks a big game about American values.

00:49:31.000 But what's he done at home?

00:49:33.000 What's he shown the world?

00:49:34.000 What have he and his leftist base actually shown other nations?

00:49:40.000 He's censored free speech here at home.

00:49:44.000 People are saying gastric bypass, you think?

00:49:46.000 He was really fat before.

00:49:48.000 He looks good though.

00:49:49.000 Wow.

00:50:12.000 And even worse, today this administration treats illegals better than our own citizens.

00:50:19.000 That is indecent.

00:50:22.000 That's indecent?

00:50:25.000 That's not nice.

00:50:27.000 The truth that we all know and is so dangerous to our nation.

00:50:32.000 The truth that Joe Biden can't handle that 3am phone call.

00:50:36.000 Indeed he won't take a phone call after about 4pm.

00:50:41.000 Nap time at the White House.

00:50:43.000 My call to you tonight is really straightforward.

00:50:45.000 It's really simple.

00:50:47.000 We can't trust the Biden administration, and that means we have work to do to uphold American values.

00:50:53.000 It is up to those of us in the room tonight and those of you watching tonight.

00:50:58.000 Donald Trump will, every day, I saw it firsthand, he will put America first.

00:51:10.000 So let's do what's right and what's important.

00:51:14.000 Let's elect a president who isn't ashamed of our nation and will never apologize for our country.

00:51:25.000 And when we do,

00:51:27.000 And when we do, we will put a strong America First leader back in the White House.

00:51:32.000 We'll re-elect Donald J. Trump, and we will make America special, exceptional, and of course, great again.

00:51:39.000 Thank you.

00:51:40.000 God bless you.

00:51:41.000 God bless our veterans and the United States of America.

00:51:44.000 Thank you all.

00:51:46.000 Thank you so much.

00:51:47.000 He should not be here.

00:51:48.000 He was another one who was critical of Trump after January 6th.

00:52:02.000 My name is Pastor Lorenzo Sewell.

00:52:04.000 I have the honor and the privilege of being a senior pastor at 180 Church, and we were blessed last month to have President Donald Trump come to Detroit, Michigan!

00:52:19.000 Let's go!

00:52:24.000 Can you imagine it?

00:52:26.000 Can you imagine President Donald Trump coming to a city and calling a pastor like me?

00:52:34.000 A pastor who was born and raised on the east side of Detroit.

00:52:38.000 I was mentored by murderers.

00:52:40.000 I was a student of the street.

00:52:42.000 But I had a radical experience with Jesus Christ that changed my life forever.

00:52:50.000 Love it.

00:52:52.000 Come on, if you believe that Jesus still changed lives, come on, put your hands together and give our great God great glory!

00:53:01.000 Jesus named W.

00:53:07.000 President Trump came to a church that is in a democratic stronghold.

00:53:14.000 He came to a church to listen to average, everyday Americans like you and like me.

00:53:23.000 He came to a church not to speak to us, but to listen to us.

00:53:28.000 He came into a church and a lot of people, they were upset.

00:53:32.000 A lot of people, they would ask me questions.

00:53:36.000 Why would you allow Donald Trump to come into your church?

00:53:41.000 How many know that the Bible says we are all sinners and we all need the grace of God?

00:53:48.000 How many know that the Bible says, he who has not sinned, let him cast the first stone?

00:53:59.000 President Donald Trump, he came during his birthday weekend.

00:54:04.000 Let me ask you a question.

00:54:06.000 Grand old party, what would you do for your birthday if you were worth 6.7 billion dollars?

00:54:12.000 What would you do for your birthday?

00:54:15.000 Would you come to Detroit?

00:54:16.000 Would you come into the hood hood?

00:54:18.000 He came to the hood because he cares about average, everyday Americans.

00:54:36.000 Brand new party, I need to ask you a question.

00:54:40.000 Love this guy.

00:54:41.000 What would you ask for your birthday?

00:54:44.000 If you could go to Mar-a-Lago or if you could go to New York, what would you ask for your birthday?

00:54:51.000 He asked for prayer.

00:55:04.000 I believe that prayer is preventative and prayer is proactive.

00:55:09.000 I believe that praying in the name of Jesus changes everything.

00:55:24.000 And when we prayed for President Trump, only God knew that 30 days later,

00:55:34.000 There would be a miracle by a millimeter.

00:55:40.000 Only God knew that if we prayed for him during his birthday, there would be a miracle by a millimeter.

00:55:58.000 If President Trump had moved one millimeter,

00:56:02.000 He wouldn't have been here on Monday to talk to us about how America was going to be made wealthy again.

00:56:11.000 If President Donald Trump would have moved just a millimeter, he wouldn't have been here on Tuesday to talk about how he was going to make America secure again.

00:56:27.000 If President Donald Trump would have moved just a millimeter,

00:56:32.000 He wouldn't have been here on Wednesday to tell us how he was going to make America strong again.

00:56:44.000 And if President Trump would have moved just a... This part's a little tedious, but the rest is good.

00:56:50.000 We would not be hearing tonight how he was going to make America great again!

00:57:10.000 Before I take my seat, I just gotta talk to you about something called providence and something called sovereignty.

00:57:17.000 God's sovereignty is his ability to be able to do what he wants, when he wants, because he's God.

00:57:24.000 And God's providence, it's when he does what he wants, when he wants, for all of you.

00:57:36.000 Did you know that President Trump was shot

00:57:40.000 On 611?

00:57:43.000 And do you know that Ephesians chapter number 6, verse number 11 says, Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

00:58:00.000 To all my Democrat friends, I want to ask you one question.

00:58:04.000 Do you know anybody that was the 45th president

00:58:09.000 He was convicted of 34 accounts.

00:58:14.000 He raised $53 million in 24 hours and could be the 47th president of the United States of America and he was shot one time.

00:58:28.000 Do you know anybody like that?

00:58:48.000 To all my friends back in Detroit who are Democrats, I want to ask you just one simple question.

00:58:55.000 You can't deny the power of God on this man's life.

00:58:58.000 You can't deny that God protected him.

00:59:01.000 You cannot deny that it was a millimeter miracle that was able to save this man's life.

00:59:09.000 Could it be that Jesus Christ preserved him for such a time as this?

00:59:15.000 Could it be?

00:59:20.000 Alright, losing steam a little bit, but I do love the speech.

00:59:29.000 Could it be that when we prayed for him when he came to the round table in Detroit, that Jesus asked and he received, that we sought him and then he found protection?

00:59:40.000 Could it be that the King of Glory, the Lord God strong and mighty, the God who is mighty in battle, protected Donald Trump?

00:59:51.000 Nice.

00:59:51.000 Why can't the whole convention be like that?

01:00:14.000 Because the thing is, you know, I'm not Protestant, obviously, and Catholics don't really talk that way.

01:00:22.000 And it's a little bit corny.

01:00:24.000 But I'm fine with the self-aware, wholesome corniness.

01:00:29.000 As long as it's decent.

01:00:32.000 As long as it's directionally correct.

01:00:35.000 Like, I'm a sucker for Christianity.

01:00:39.000 I'm a sucker for family.

01:00:42.000 For those kinds of personal anecdotes, like some of the people were telling yesterday, what I can't stand is all the partisan, like, political nonsense.

01:00:52.000 Stuff about, like, unleash energy!

01:00:56.000 Like, I'm not willing to be a sucker for that.

01:00:59.000 I'm not willing to be self-conscious, self-consciously accepting of that kind of cringe.

01:01:08.000 So, you go to the RNC, you know you're gonna get

01:01:12.000 You know, you basically know what you're gonna get from the outset.

01:01:16.000 But I just can't tolerate, like, for example, the other night about all the Israel stuff.

01:01:21.000 You know, the 45-minute Israel Fest.

01:01:25.000 Closest ally, Jewish values are American values, and so on.

01:01:29.000 Like, I can't... I can't embrace that.

01:01:36.000 But the stuff that we actually stand for, yeah, I'm willing to go all out for the, even if it's a little corny, the stuff that's super patriotic, super religious, super traditional, I'm willing to say, yeah, well, this is our convention, you know?

01:01:54.000 But yesterday we found out, it's actually funny on that point, so yesterday they brought up this Jewish kid named Shabbos Kestenbaum.

01:02:04.000 Well, we'll talk about it in a sec.

01:02:05.000 We have another speech here.

01:02:35.000 There he is.

01:02:38.000 King Trump.

01:03:26.000 I don't recognize them.

01:03:31.000 Or them.

01:03:35.000 Who's that big guy?

01:03:36.000 I don't recognize any of these people other than Ted Cruz.

01:03:44.000 And the guy from Nevada.

01:03:48.000 Jason Aldean?

01:03:49.000 I don't know who that is.

01:03:50.000 Is that a country guy?

01:04:05.000 Yeah, see, I don't, that's the stuff I really don't like.

01:04:10.000 People say, a lot of people don't like that I criticize a lot of white culture, but that's just inappropriate.

01:04:17.000 You're wearing a t-shirt with the tattoos, baseball cap.

01:04:20.000 You're standing next to the president.

01:04:22.000 That's just inappropriate.

01:04:23.000 I know that's your thing, but it's just, show a little decorum.

01:04:31.000 It's an honor to be here this evening.

01:04:33.000 I'm the PGA head golf professional at Trump International Golf Club in Palm Beach, Florida.

01:04:46.000 We all know that President Trump loves his family because we see that.

01:04:52.000 And we all know that President Trump is willing to die for our country because we just witnessed that.

01:04:59.000 But what I'm here to tell you tonight is that Donald Trump is a great boss and one hell of a golfer.

01:05:11.000 At our club championship in March, I watched President Trump hit a perfect 210-yard 4-iron to within 10 feet of the hole.

01:05:23.000 Yep.

01:05:24.000 He needed to sink that putt to win.

01:05:27.000 Do you think he sank it?

01:05:30.000 You better believe you sunk that putt.

01:05:35.000 Donald Trump, 21 club championships.

01:05:40.000 Joe Biden, zero.

01:05:45.000 That's great.

01:05:48.000 For non-golfers out there, that's a pretty good record.

01:05:50.000 He brought up the head of his golf club to talk about how good of a golfer he is.

01:05:56.000 I was working multiple jobs, and one of those jobs was caddying at Trump International, and that's where I met Mr. Trump.

01:06:06.000 My caddy job eventually would turn into a full-time job.

01:06:10.000 One day, I was out caddying for Mr. Trump when he mentioned to me that he needed to find a teaching pro.

01:06:17.000 He knew I could play, so he said, tomorrow, dress like a golf pro and come out and play golf with me.

01:06:25.000 So in true Mr. Trump fashion, on the first tee the next day, he tees up his ball, whacks it right down the middle of the fairway.

01:06:33.000 And I turned to him and I said, hey, I'm pretty nervous.

01:06:36.000 And he said, John, you just relax and play your game.

01:06:41.000 And it was great advice, because after nine holes, he turned to me and he said, I've seen enough.

01:06:46.000 You've got the job.

01:06:50.000 That's an awesome story.

01:06:51.000 Thank you.

01:06:54.000 Later, I went on to become the head golf professional, and I'll never forget that moment with Mr. Trump.

01:06:58.000 He truly changed my life.

01:07:00.000 That's who Donald Trump is.

01:07:03.000 For 25 years, I've seen his generosity and his remarkable character.

01:07:08.000 Firsthand, his entire family reflects these values as well.

01:07:14.000 With all the hate the President gets, I think to myself, how can someone go through all this?

01:07:21.000 He could have chosen a quiet life.

01:07:23.000 He could have played more golf.

01:07:25.000 But he cares so deeply about America and our people.

01:07:30.000 He just keeps working.

01:07:32.000 And he does it for us.

01:07:43.000 Now it's our turn to support him.

01:07:46.000 So let's help him.

01:07:48.000 Let's hear it.

01:07:58.000 Thank you, President Trump, for believing in me and in our country.

01:08:03.000 As much as I'll miss him in the clubhouse, we need to vote him back in the White House.

01:08:08.000 Thank you very much.

01:08:09.000 Alright, well, that's the last line.

01:08:13.000 See, I love when it's just Americana.

01:08:21.000 Why can't the whole convention be that?

01:08:23.000 I just love when it's America.

01:08:25.000 That's America.

01:08:28.000 When you get a white guy like that, loves playing golf, he's a caddy at the Trump golf course, gets the job, loves him as a guy, that's America.

01:08:39.000 Black pastor talking about Jesus Christ, that's America.

01:08:42.000 Ben Carson, Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

01:08:46.000 Those ranchers yesterday, the World War II veteran.

01:08:49.000 The problem is all this other crap.

01:08:52.000 The problem is all this stuff that really doesn't belong here.

01:08:56.000 The stuff that's just alien.

01:09:01.000 And a lot of these people, there's just a refusal to assimilate.

01:09:04.000 It's people that don't speak English.

01:09:06.000 It's people that don't have our values.

01:09:08.000 If the RNC was even what it was 20 years ago, it would be better.

01:09:12.000 Like, that's the irony.

01:09:14.000 Is that 20 years ago, the GOP was worse ideologically.

01:09:19.000 It was more basic.

01:09:25.000 But the texture of it was far more American.

01:09:29.000 And the people that showed up, country club Republicans, they were Americans.

01:09:34.000 And they, like I said, they were probably more cringe.

01:09:37.000 And yeah, there was this, there was still pandering and there was a Jewish ideological element.

01:09:43.000 So we're certainly a more nationalist party now, but we've lost the identity.

01:09:48.000 It's sort of like when J.D.

01:09:49.000 Vance get up there.

01:09:51.000 J.D.

01:09:51.000 Vance is not like a real American.

01:09:55.000 He's whiter than me.

01:09:57.000 He's been in America, I think, probably more generations than me.

01:10:02.000 But this guy has acceded to the transnational elite, this, like, cosmopolitan elite.

01:10:09.000 He doesn't live in Ohio.

01:10:11.000 He lives in a suburb of D.C.

01:10:13.000 He married a rich daughter of Indian immigrants from California.

01:10:18.000 She's loaded.

01:10:19.000 He went to Yale Law School.

01:10:21.000 He never looked back.

01:10:23.000 He got a deal with Netflix, CNN.

01:10:25.000 The guy reads the Wall Street Journal.

01:10:28.000 His kids, they don't have American sounding names.

01:10:33.000 At least one of them doesn't.

01:10:35.000 And this is not me attacking the family.

01:10:37.000 It's just saying he's not like us.

01:10:40.000 His way of life is not like our way of life.

01:10:45.000 When I talk to contractors, when I talk to people in my town, when I talk to my barber, when I talk to my family, when I talk to my family's friends, when I talk to old-school Americans, we all have a cultural milieu in common.

01:11:02.000 These people like Vance, they're not like us.

01:11:05.000 People like us don't do stuff like that.

01:11:09.000 So...

01:11:10.000 You know, and of course there is a lot of diversity within America, but keep it American.

01:11:15.000 Like those ranchers the other day, they're very different than me, you know, when they come out in the bolo tie and the cowboy hat.

01:11:21.000 It's a very different culture than what we have in Chicago.

01:11:24.000 But it's a different shade of America.

01:11:26.000 It's a different part of America.

01:11:29.000 So I guess that's the part that I deeply long for at this convention and within politics.

01:11:37.000 I just want to see America's identity represented, not Kestenbaum and Israeli citizens.

01:11:45.000 I am deeply honored to stand before you tonight and introduce my father.

01:11:50.000 This moment holds special significance as I'm about to become a father myself.

01:11:58.000 Thank you.

01:12:00.000 The nation my son is born into in December will be shaped by the choice we make this November.

01:12:09.000 I saw my father's remarkable journey from relying on a small loan to becoming one of the country's most successful developers.

01:12:17.000 He showed me that success comes from hard work, not handouts.

01:12:23.000 When I joined his business, I started at the bottom, literally handling plumbing jobs and repairing sewage lines late at night in New York City.

01:12:34.000 That's how he started, too.

01:12:37.000 I vividly recall him spending New Year's Eve fixing a broken sewage tank with a bear of a man named Shecky.

01:12:46.000 You see, they couldn't afford to call in a crew.

01:12:49.000 They were the crew.

01:12:52.000 Years later, Shecky was still by my dad's side.

01:12:55.000 This is a Jewish donor.

01:12:56.000 And he became my first boss.

01:12:59.000 He once told me he would run through a wall for my dad.

01:13:02.000 His dad is.

01:13:02.000 Because my dad never asked him to do anything that he wouldn't do himself.

01:13:07.000 And that's exactly how my family feels about our dear friend, President Donald J. Trump.

01:13:20.000 We have seen him stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the American people, time and again, even when it wasn't easy, even when he could be doing something else.

01:13:31.000 Even after getting hit by live sniper fire, he stood with us, my fellow Americans, and that is why we stand with him.

01:13:44.000 And you know what?

01:13:45.000 He makes it fun, too.

01:13:48.000 President Trump and the First Lady were the guests of honor at my wedding at the beautiful Mar-a-Lago Club.

01:13:55.000 The president tore up the dance floor until 3 in the morning with his signature moves.

01:14:01.000 You guys know those moves.

01:14:09.000 The essence of what my dad taught me.

01:14:13.000 Hard work, unwavering loyalty, and perseverance.

01:14:18.000 That is the essence of Donald Trump.

01:14:20.000 Look at his eyes.

01:14:23.000 Look at this guy.

01:14:26.000 As long as we stand united with President Trump, it will remain the essence of the nation that my son and all of our children grow up in.

01:14:36.000 God bless America.

01:14:38.000 God bless Donald Trump.

01:14:40.000 And God bless the greatest nation on Earth, the United States of America.

01:14:46.000 Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to present my father, Stephen Whitcock.

01:15:10.000 Good evening, everybody.

01:15:14.000 That song that you just heard was American Trilogy by Elvis.

01:15:20.000 Is this my impression of Jewish people?

01:15:24.000 A lot of people don't know this about my dear friend President Trump, but he's a big music guy.

01:15:31.000 He's literally doing my impression.

01:15:49.000 But as someone who has had the profound privilege of calling President Donald J. Trump a true and dear friend for many, many years, in good times and bad times.

01:16:03.000 And of all the songs, of all the songs he has shared with me over the years, that is the song that best captures him.

01:16:13.000 Especially those words, his truth is marching on.

01:16:26.000 I thought of that song after my dear friend was shot a few days ago.

01:16:32.000 I gave him a call.

01:16:34.000 I expected to leave him a voicemail.

01:16:37.000 So it surprised me when he answered the phone.

01:16:41.000 His first words surprised me as well.

01:16:44.000 He'd just come within an inch of his own life ending.

01:16:47.000 But he picked up the phone and said, Hi Steve.

01:16:51.000 I'm really glad you called.

01:16:54.000 How are you?

01:16:55.000 How are your kids?

01:16:57.000 It surprised me, but it shouldn't have.

01:17:01.000 I know this man very well.

01:17:03.000 President Trump is as kind and compassionate a man as I've ever met in my lifetime.

01:17:18.000 I've seen the truth of President Trump, and it marches on with me tonight.

01:17:25.000 I know that many here and watching at home have felt that kind of a connection with the President.

01:17:33.000 It's real.

01:17:35.000 I have never seen him refuse a question from somebody, decline a photo, or ignore someone's story or concerns.

01:17:45.000 Everyone he meets gets a family member's embrace from him.

01:17:50.000 I have felt that warmth so many times over the years.

01:17:55.000 Just last week, I told the President about a moment I had with his three sons and how impressed I was with them.

01:18:04.000 He looked at me with a wistful smile, blowing a kiss, and it was a special moment between us as fathers.

01:18:14.000 When my dad fell gravely ill, President Trump didn't just send a note.

01:18:20.000 He didn't just offer words of comfort.

01:18:23.000 He showed up as he always does.

01:18:25.000 He was there, treating my parents with kindness and respect.

01:18:38.000 Including my mom who's 91 and here tonight dressed in red and is going to be voting for the president.

01:18:50.000 Many Americans have only witnessed his leadership on TV, but I have seen his humanity in the quiet moments, away from the spotlight, in hospital rooms he didn't have to be in, where his presence brought real solace in a dark hour for my family and many other families.

01:19:14.000 That's who he is.

01:19:16.000 When times are really tough, when he's got everything to lose and nothing to gain, Donald Trump shows up and he's there for you.

01:19:28.000 Thank you.

01:19:35.000 When I lost my boy Andrew to an opioid overdose, the pain was unbearable.

01:19:44.000 But as usual, Donald Trump showed up.

01:19:50.000 After he became the President Trump, even amid all the responsibilities of his office, he reached out and invited me to speak about Andrew at a conference on opioids, hosted by the First Lady, providing a platform to honor my son's memory.

01:20:19.000 And when the day of the conference came, he went out of his way that day to come and put his hand on my shoulder and say, Steve, as he led me up to the lectern, tell the world about your boy.

01:20:35.000 My boy was the best of us.

01:20:38.000 Where we lived in New York City, a Trump building, 502 Park Avenue,

01:20:44.000 There were 12 homeless people who stayed outside by the church next to the property.

01:20:52.000 My son got to know them all.

01:20:54.000 He fed them every evening.

01:20:56.000 He became their friend.

01:20:58.000 When he passed away, all 12 came to his funeral.

01:21:04.000 He and President Trump shared something in common.

01:21:07.000 My boy stood up for people, no matter which side of the train tracks they came from, exactly as the President does for everybody.

01:21:26.000 Standing here today, I still feel my boy's hand on my shoulder.

01:21:33.000 After Andrew passed away, I found myself clinging to my son's memory, even his things.

01:21:42.000 His college ID is in my pocket right now.

01:21:45.000 I wear his ring since he died.

01:21:51.000 And I came today with his watch on.

01:21:55.000 I kept his guitar.

01:21:57.000 I kept his guitar, too, and thought I would keep that guitar forever.

01:22:03.000 But I gave it to my dear friend, Andrew's friend, and fellow music lover, Donald Trump.

01:22:19.000 I wanted President Trump to have something with which to remember my son.

01:22:25.000 President Trump didn't say something nice to me and put it in a closet somewhere.

01:22:31.000 He put it right out front at his Trump International West Palm Beach property where he and I both see it whenever we walk in and play and where everyone who walks into that beautiful building sees it as well as an acknowledgement to my boy.

01:22:46.000 A sacred tribute to a true friend who is gone and a cause that remains opioid abuse.

01:23:01.000 Thank you.

01:23:04.000 Standing here today, with my boy's hand on my shoulder, I know I'll never hear his music again.

01:23:13.000 His mom and I can only hear the chords of memory now, and we will always hear them.

01:23:20.000 But I know my dear friend, President Trump, hears them too.

01:23:26.000 You don't see this man's reverence, his steady loyalty, his true empathy in the TV coverage.

01:23:37.000 But this is the truth about President Trump.

01:23:40.000 The man I have come to know and admire and love.

01:23:45.000 A man whose truth is marching on.

01:23:49.000 It is a dark hour for America, but there's nobody I trust more in this moment than this man.

01:23:56.000 A man who in the darkest hours shows up, listens, cares, and always acts.

01:24:04.000 The kind of man we need now to be the 47th President of the United States.

01:24:18.000 Thank you.

01:24:20.000 May God bless you all.

01:24:21.000 May God bless President Trump and his extraordinary wife and his wonderful family.

01:24:27.000 And may God bless America.

01:24:28.000 Thank you so much.

01:24:33.000 That was a tough watch.

01:24:36.000 Good story.

01:24:37.000 I believe that we're going to have four of the greatest years in the history of our country.

01:24:43.000 I will, once and for all, secure our elections.

01:24:46.000 We're going to go to paper ballots.

01:24:48.000 We're going to have same-day voting, voter ID.

01:24:51.000 We're going to do it properly.

01:24:53.000 We're going to have good, secure, beautiful elections.

01:24:56.000 We never want what happened in 2020 to happen again.

01:25:00.000 Alright, we've heard this a hundred times.

01:25:09.000 Yeah, that was a good story, but a little bit boring.

01:25:23.000 I don't like when they don't acknowledge God, though.

01:25:25.000 I don't know how you talk about the death of your son and you don't talk about God.

01:25:29.000 But that's really the issue, is that the guy's clearly Jewish, so he's probably an atheist.

01:25:35.000 And if he's not an atheist, he's not a Christian, so... That just doesn't... Don't get me wrong, it's sympathetic, because we're all human beings, and we all have family, and people die, but... If there's no acknowledgement of what makes all of it matter, to me there's just something that's hollow about it.

01:25:55.000 But anyway, I wanna, somebody says in the chat, finish your thoughts about the Jewish guy.

01:25:59.000 Yeah, so, yesterday, they had this guy named Shabbos Kestenbaum speak, and he was this Jewish kid, and he gets up there, and first of all, very like ghostly appearance, but he gets up there and he's like, oh my gosh.

01:26:17.000 All right.

01:26:18.000 Well, we'll get it next time.

01:26:20.000 Next time for sure.

01:26:24.000 Next time, we will have it.

01:26:34.000 Good evening, America.

01:26:38.000 My name is Alina Haba.

01:26:39.000 Where's he going?

01:26:40.000 And I have had the great privilege of representing President Donald J. Trump.

01:26:48.000 Where's he going?

01:26:50.000 What?

01:26:52.000 Now I know you're all used to hearing me shouting outside a courthouse, but tonight I want to take you behind the law and behind the headlines and share with you a side of President Trump that reveals his character, his kindness,

01:27:16.000 and his commitment to saving this great country.

01:27:26.000 As a devout Catholic, a proud first generation Arab American woman,

01:27:43.000 And a feisty Jersey girl who is fed up with far-left corruption in Washington.

01:27:57.000 President Trump championed my journey, empowering me to be who I became today.

01:28:07.000 His unwavering support not only shaped my career,

01:28:11.000 But has inspired other young women with big dreams.

01:28:16.000 President Trump loves this country.

01:28:19.000 He does.

01:28:21.000 And he lifts up those around him.

01:28:26.000 To my children, Luke, Chloe, and Parker.

01:28:33.000 I'm so glad it's the last day of this.

01:28:35.000 He's the man with one heck of a golf swing that lets them ride in a golf cart with some of the world's most famous golfers so they feel included in mom's job.

01:28:46.000 And by the way, he can kick some of those guys' butts.

01:28:51.000 Ken.

01:28:54.000 To my husband.

01:28:57.000 Oh, there it is!

01:28:58.000 There it is!

01:28:58.000 What a traitor.

01:28:59.000 She's Iraqi and she married a Jewish guy?

01:29:02.000 Jewish Zionist?

01:29:28.000 Not too long ago, a supporter shouted, God bless you and President Trump in the middle of Manhattan after one of our trials.

01:29:40.000 Little did that man know that I was on the phone with the president himself.

01:29:46.000 And he immediately asked me to pause, give the man my phone.

01:29:51.000 Uh, wow.

01:29:52.000 And spent time speaking to him and thanking him for his support.

01:29:57.000 Love that.

01:29:58.000 That's a great story.

01:30:06.000 Despite the lawfare and the politics, President Trump loves the American people and he loves this country.

01:30:20.000 I love this dictator energy where you have people one after the other on stage crying.

01:30:26.000 He's the best guy ever.

01:30:28.000 He's so good at golf and he hugs veterans.

01:30:32.000 He has the guitar of my dead son in his club.

01:30:37.000 I don't think it was ever like this before, was it?

01:30:41.000 So I kind of love it.

01:30:47.000 And his drive to turn dreams into reality.

01:30:53.000 But his greatest construction project was yet to come.

01:31:00.000 The left has tried to demolish President Trump.

01:31:05.000 But there is no bulldozer big enough or strong enough to remove the legacy that he has built or the future he is creating.

01:31:15.000 The whole day is like, God save Trump.

01:31:18.000 He's a God-appointed leader.

01:31:21.000 No one can stop him.

01:31:22.000 He's the best guy ever.

01:31:24.000 He's so tough and he loves everyone.

01:31:27.000 He loves this.

01:31:28.000 People are like weeping.

01:31:31.000 But Donald Trump called the veterans, and he really cared.

01:31:36.000 He will build America stronger than ever for we, the people.

01:31:40.000 That's so cool.

01:31:41.000 I do love that aspect of it.

01:31:44.000 I just wish he was more right-wing.

01:31:46.000 Then it would be perfect.

01:31:47.000 If he was like a reactionary, it'd be perfect.

01:31:50.000 As we stand on the brink of a new chapter in America's story, I am reminded of the country my family fled four decades ago.

01:32:02.000 A place marked by religious persecution, oppression, and a lack of freedom.

01:32:12.000 They came here because America is a beacon of liberty and opportunity.

01:32:24.000 It is now our duty to protect the values that define us.

01:32:30.000 And keep this the greatest nation on earth.

01:32:37.000 Amen.

01:32:46.000 That's right.

01:33:06.000 Every attack on President Trump only strengthens our movement.

01:33:12.000 The left's madness is only a sign of desperation.

01:33:19.000 Sham indictments and baseless allegations will not deter us.

01:33:26.000 Because the only crime President Trump has committed is loving America.

01:33:40.000 And America, we are winning.

01:33:55.000 Outside of his family and our country, President Trump also has another love.

01:34:02.000 Music.

01:34:05.000 A few years ago, he wanted me to hear a new song he had selected for an upcoming rally.

01:34:12.000 I could hear it blaring in the background at Mar-a-Lago.

01:34:17.000 He landed on a song called, Hold On, I'm Comin'.

01:34:30.000 America, we no longer have to hold on.

01:34:34.000 We just have to show up.

01:34:36.000 We just gotta show up.

01:34:40.000 We don't gotta hold on.

01:34:41.000 We just gotta show up.

01:34:45.000 All over.

01:34:48.000 That's very juvenile.

01:34:54.000 That's very juvenile.

01:34:56.000 Nobody has time for that.

01:34:59.000 We don't have time for childish humor like that.

01:35:02.000 Gutter humor.

01:35:03.000 Seriously.

01:35:05.000 Grow up.

01:35:08.000 And if you're eager to unleash the best America has to offer, then let's send Donald Trump and JD Vance to the White House in November.

01:35:30.000 The future of America and the world is bright, and it begins with the unwavering spirit of each and every one of us.

01:35:44.000 Because of the resilience and the leadership of my friend, President Donald J. Trump.

01:35:58.000 So let us not forget that President Trump did not just take a bullet in Butler, Pennsylvania.

01:36:06.000 He has and will continue to take them for each and every one of us.

01:36:12.000 I hope not.

01:36:15.000 God bless President Trump.

01:36:18.000 God bless you all.

01:36:19.000 And God bless the United States of America.

01:36:23.000 I get what she's going for, but he didn't just get shot once.

01:36:28.000 He's going to get shot a lot.

01:36:29.000 Like, why would you say it like that?

01:36:32.000 He's going to continue to take bullets.

01:36:34.000 Like, I hope he doesn't actually.

01:36:36.000 I hope that is not the case.

01:36:39.000 No more bullets, please.

01:36:42.000 But I get what she was going for.

01:36:43.000 Or she meant metaphorically.

01:36:46.000 All right, Tucker and Hulk Hogan coming up.

01:36:49.000 Tucker.

01:36:54.000 So like I was saying about Shabbos Kestenbaum, that Jewish kid that spoke yesterday, he said he was going to sue Harvard because they didn't censor anti-Semitic speech, so-called.

01:37:08.000 I go on his Twitter the other day and the guy's a Democrat.

01:37:11.000 The guy tweeted on July 9th, I'm a Democrat and I spoke out against Russian interference in the 2016 election.

01:37:20.000 So it's like, this is who's speaking at the RNC.

01:37:22.000 These people aren't even right wing.

01:37:24.000 And that's kind of my problem is that, and I know people say, well, it's a big tent movement.

01:37:29.000 Well, we're trying to appeal to people in the middle.

01:37:32.000 But what about, I thought the whole premise of the platform this year was that it's about the forgotten men and women.

01:37:39.000 That it's about the people that the party represents, the actual constituency of the GOP.

01:37:46.000 And this year it's like,

01:37:48.000 A porn star, a Sikh.

01:37:50.000 It's- I don't have a problem with Sikhs, but the visibility, it's like, not the time, not the place.

01:37:58.000 And then you get a Jewish Democrat, and then you get Israeli citizens.

01:38:02.000 So much of the people that are showing up here, it's just not representative of the actual party.

01:38:08.000 And it's like, where do people like us even go?

01:38:10.000 Where can we go and have a night for Americans?

01:38:15.000 So I'm just kind of sick of that.

01:38:16.000 It's like everywhere you look, you can't get away from it.

01:38:19.000 Star Wars, SNL.

01:38:22.000 You leave your house, you see it in every major city, and then even at the Republican convention you get this.

01:38:29.000 So, that's why, of course, we're America First.

01:38:34.000 Maybe one day we can have an America First convention.

01:38:36.000 It's all Americans.

01:38:38.000 But, anyway, so I just wanted to finish that thought from earlier about this speaker that was on the stage yesterday.

01:38:47.000 Yeah, today is so far so good.

01:38:49.000 I mean, a lot of it isn't even really all that political.

01:38:53.000 So far, it's all just been about Trump himself.

01:38:56.000 So I don't have too much commentary aside from that.

01:39:01.000 So we'll see.

01:39:02.000 It'll be interesting what the president says, but I believe that doesn't start for another two and a half hours?

01:39:07.000 One and a half, two and a half hours?

01:39:10.000 So it's gonna be a long night tonight.

01:39:13.000 Where they officially have Trump accept the nomination.

01:39:17.000 The other big story from today is that it looks like Biden is going to withdraw from the race, as I predicted a few weeks ago.

01:39:25.000 And the pressure got to be extraordinary this week.

01:39:27.000 Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries, and even Kamala Harris herself have all pleaded with Biden to step down.

01:39:35.000 They've all told him it's time to step aside because of his declining mental condition.

01:39:42.000 And they're saying now that it could come as soon as this weekend.

01:39:46.000 Seemed like the dam finally broke yesterday when it was reported that the Democratic leadership and close personnel inside the inner circle have now moved firmly against him.

01:39:59.000 So it might be the case that this weekend we have a

01:40:03.000 I don't think so.

01:40:23.000 Over the course of a week, they'll have some say it's Kamala and then three to four other Democratic candidates.

01:40:31.000 And then all the delegates who are then unbound will then be able to choose.

01:40:37.000 And so some of the names that have been floated, they say, of course, the Vice President Kamala Harris, although they're saying that she will not get an endorsement from Biden, although that's not 100 percent, but that's the rumor.

01:40:49.000 It will be Kamala Harris, probably Gavin Newsom, Pete Buttigieg, Gretchen Whitmer.

01:40:55.000 Some have suggested Michelle Obama, although she strenuously denied that she would ever become a nominee.

01:41:02.000 Who knows?

01:41:02.000 Maybe even Hillary Clinton.

01:41:04.000 You never know.

01:41:04.000 I mean, there might be some surprises, but it'll be... The Democratic convention actually will be far more interesting than the Republican convention.

01:41:13.000 This GOP convention's just a big glaze fest, and it's all the usual suspects, it's all the greatest hits, it's...

01:41:21.000 Veterans, illegals, Trump's a great guy.

01:41:26.000 The Democratic Convention, they're actually going to pick who their nominee will be if things play out the way the rumors suggest.

01:41:37.000 And that'll be in August.

01:41:38.000 And they say that they're even maybe going to delay the nomination.

01:41:42.000 Maybe not the convention, but they say they're going to delay the nomination, which I believe they were going to do virtually.

01:41:49.000 Now they're going to push that back.

01:41:52.000 So it'll be a very interesting year.

01:41:53.000 But I said, I said after the debate that probably Biden was going to drop out.

01:41:59.000 Everybody said, well, the procedure won't allow him to drop out.

01:42:04.000 And I said, it doesn't matter.

01:42:05.000 They're going to find a way.

01:42:06.000 And people said, well, they can't force him out.

01:42:09.000 I'm like, of course they can.

01:42:10.000 They're the Democrats.

01:42:12.000 Watch them shut it down.

01:42:13.000 Of course they can force him out.

01:42:15.000 Maybe not on a technical level.

01:42:18.000 Maybe not strictly, technically speaking, they can't force him out.

01:42:21.000 There's no procedural mechanism.

01:42:24.000 But they will exert all the pressure that they have from media, money, from the party establishment.

01:42:30.000 I said, if they want him gone, he's gone.

01:42:32.000 And that appears to be exactly what has taken place.

01:42:36.000 And I don't know if we got into it a lot last week, but we talked about this growing pressure, mounting pressure from George Clooney, who did a major fundraiser for Biden, raised nearly $30 million for Biden with a Hollywood fundraiser.

01:42:51.000 And then the next day, put out an open letter in the New York Times saying that Biden is senile.

01:42:57.000 Reid Hoffman said that he's going to withhold donations.

01:43:02.000 Alright, what's this now?

01:43:03.000 Oh no.

01:43:03.000 Whoops.

01:43:04.000 Here we go.

01:43:05.000 Is America

01:43:31.000 It's just like Reagan, guys!

01:43:33.000 It's just like Ronald Reagan!

01:43:35.000 President Trump.

01:43:37.000 He'll make America great.

01:43:39.000 Again.

01:44:01.000 We gotta ditch the Reagan stuff.

01:44:08.000 Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome journalist, author, and American citizen... Alright!

01:44:14.000 Tucker Carlson.

01:44:15.000 So fun!

01:44:20.000 Thank you!

01:44:24.000 Oh, this is wild!

01:44:28.000 Thank you!

01:44:31.000 I've been...

01:44:33.000 Good to see you.

01:44:36.000 Thank you.

01:44:39.000 I feel like I know about half the people in the room.

01:44:43.000 This is wild.

01:44:46.000 What are you doing?

01:44:47.000 Justin Welles.

01:44:49.000 Thank you, guys.

01:44:56.000 Can I just say, Peter Navarro is back.

01:44:59.000 Welcome to Peter Navarro.

01:45:01.000 Suffering the fate that has happened to so many who are friends with Donald Trump.

01:45:05.000 Thank you for having me.

01:45:07.000 I have been to many conventions.

01:45:12.000 I have never been to a more fun convention or a convention with better vibes.

01:45:19.000 They literally let Navarro out of prison.

01:45:21.000 First of all, thank you.

01:45:25.000 This feels a lot different from what I thought it was going to feel like.

01:45:30.000 I can't hear you, but I know it's something good.

01:45:36.000 So, I watched the video of what happened in Butler, Pennsylvania about 15, 50 times.

01:45:45.000 I think I was one of about 8 billion people around the world who watched it.

01:45:49.000 And the more I watched it, the more it struck me that everything was different.

01:45:55.000 After that moment.

01:45:56.000 Everything.

01:45:57.000 This convention is different.

01:45:58.000 The nation is different.

01:45:59.000 The world is different.

01:46:00.000 Donald Trump is different.

01:46:03.000 When he stood up after being shot in the face, bloodied, and put his hand up, I thought at that moment, that was a transformation.

01:46:12.000 This was no longer a man.

01:46:15.000 Well, I think that.

01:46:16.000 I think it was divine intervention.

01:46:18.000 But the effect that it had on Donald Trump

01:46:21.000 He was no longer just a political party's nominee, or a former president, or a future president.

01:46:27.000 This was the leader of a nation.

01:46:32.000 And I think there's a difference.

01:46:36.000 I've spent most of my life in Washington, where the president is at the top of the pyramid, everyone wants to be the president.

01:46:42.000 But if you think about it, the presidency comes with great power, obviously.

01:46:45.000 But if you think about it, that is a title

01:46:47.000 that is bestowed by a process of some sort that can be subverted.

01:46:53.000 And in the end, it does not confer by itself, as no title does, legitimacy.

01:47:00.000 Just because you call yourself the president doesn't mean that much inherently.

01:47:05.000 I can call my dog the CEO of Hewlett-Packard.

01:47:08.000 It doesn't mean she is.

01:47:10.000 You know, it's true.

01:47:15.000 And you hate to say it, but it is also true, is a fact, that you could take, I don't know, a mannequin, a dead person, and make him president.

01:47:22.000 If you... No, you could!

01:47:23.000 You could!

01:47:24.000 I'm just saying, theoretically possible.

01:47:27.000 With enough... With enough cheating, that could happen.

01:47:32.000 Okay, but where were you in 2020?

01:47:34.000 Being a leader is very different.

01:47:38.000 It's not a title.

01:47:39.000 It's organic.

01:47:41.000 You can't name someone a leader.

01:47:44.000 A leader is the bravest man.

01:47:47.000 That's who the leader is.

01:47:49.000 That is true in all human organizations.

01:47:53.000 The leader.

01:47:53.000 This is a law of nature.

01:47:56.000 And in that moment, Donald Trump, months before the presidential election, became the leader of this nation.

01:48:03.000 That was the most obvious to me.

01:48:06.000 And I have to say, you know, I think it changed him.

01:48:13.000 Reached out to Trump within hours of it, that night.

01:48:15.000 And what he said to me that night, having just been shot in the face, he said not a single word about himself.

01:48:23.000 He said only how amazed he was and how proud he was of the crowd, which didn't run.

01:48:30.000 And I thought two things.

01:48:31.000 The first thing I thought was, well, of course they didn't run.

01:48:35.000 His courage gave them heart.

01:48:37.000 A leader's courage gives courage to his people.

01:48:42.000 And the second thing I thought was, this is the selfish guy I've been hearing about for nine years?

01:48:48.000 Really?

01:48:48.000 Not a word about himself?

01:48:50.000 About his people.

01:48:51.000 Period.

01:48:52.000 And the second thing I noticed, which I don't think anyone has remarked upon in public, but I'm just going to since I don't have a script.

01:48:56.000 Like, why not?

01:48:59.000 Is that he turned down the most obvious opportunity in politics to inflame the nation after being shot.

01:49:07.000 To inflame the nation, which is an opportunity that almost every other politician I've ever met, and certainly his opponents, would have taken instantly.

01:49:14.000 And they would have said, well, what is this?

01:49:16.000 How did he get shot?

01:49:18.000 Like, how did this happen?

01:49:20.000 And those are real questions that we have to get to the bottom of.

01:49:23.000 But in the moments, the days, the week after the shooting, he did not say that.

01:49:30.000 He did his best to bring the country together.

01:49:32.000 And I thought, this is the divisive figure?

01:49:33.000 This is the irresponsible person?

01:49:34.000 No.

01:49:36.000 This is the most responsible, unifying behavior of a leader I think I've ever seen.

01:49:41.000 So the question is, where is he leading us?

01:49:48.000 And I could go on for hours, but let me just sum it up.

01:49:50.000 I do think the entire point from the famous escalator ride nine years ago until today of Donald Trump's public life has been to remind us of one fact.

01:50:02.000 Which is, a leader's duty is to his people, to his country, and to no other.

01:50:08.000 That's the point.

01:50:09.000 That's the only point.

01:50:10.000 And another word for this is democracy.

01:50:14.000 Democracy, in case you're a little sick of being beaten in the face with democracy on television, actual democracy is the proposition that the citizens of a country own that country.

01:50:25.000 They're not renters, they're not serfs, they're not slaves, they are the owners of the country.

01:50:29.000 And for that to be true, their leaders have to represent them, which is another way of saying they have to do what the people want them to do.

01:50:41.000 Or a close approximation thereof.

01:50:44.000 But if they completely ignore what people want, not just one year, but generationally, say for 50 years, then it may be, I don't know what, it's not a democracy.

01:50:54.000 And so I think the entire Trump project, paradoxically, is attacked as an enemy of democracy is to return democracy to the United States.

01:51:01.000 Hey, let's pay attention to what people actually want.

01:51:06.000 Great.

01:51:08.000 And the lack of interest in that question in Washington is something that ultimately drove me out of the city after 35 years.

01:51:14.000 I'm so glad that Trump isn't divisive and is truly democratic.

01:51:18.000 Fellow citizens ODing on drugs to go cast votes to send money to some foreign country.

01:51:26.000 Yeah, actually.

01:51:27.000 We've lost more Americans from drugs in the past four years than we lost in World War II.

01:51:35.000 Yeah.

01:51:36.000 Our bloodiest war.

01:51:37.000 More than we lost in World War II.

01:51:41.000 Does anybody care?

01:51:43.000 It is pathetic.

01:51:44.000 It is pathetic.

01:51:45.000 And do you hear a single word from Washington about doing anything about it?

01:51:49.000 We know where the drugs are coming from.

01:51:51.000 We know the supply routes.

01:51:52.000 military spent billions bombing the Ho Chi Minh Trail.

01:51:52.000 The U.S.

01:51:55.000 You don't see our commander-in-chief suggesting that we use our military to protect our country or the lives of its citizens.

01:52:01.000 No!

01:52:02.000 That's for Ukraine.

01:52:04.000 And it's too much, actually.

01:52:06.000 It's too insulting.

01:52:07.000 It's for Ukraine.

01:52:08.000 It's too insulting.

01:52:09.000 It's a middle finger in the face of every American.

01:52:12.000 It's a very clear statement, which is unmistakable.

01:52:17.000 And that is, we don't care about you.

01:52:20.000 Just Ukraine.

01:52:21.000 Nobody else.

01:52:24.000 Whatever you say about him.

01:52:25.000 And I think he's a wonderful person.

01:52:26.000 I know him well.

01:52:27.000 By the way, the funniest person I've ever met in my life, actually.

01:52:31.000 You can't be funny without perspective.

01:52:33.000 Or without empathy, which is true.

01:52:36.000 But everything else about Trump aside, he actually cares.

01:52:39.000 Because he's interested in the people who live here, because that's his job.

01:52:43.000 A father's job, his duty is to his family.

01:52:47.000 An officer's duty is to his men.

01:52:48.000 A president's duty is to his citizens.

01:52:51.000 And he seems to be the only one who thinks that.

01:52:55.000 And in his choice for Vice President, J.D.

01:52:58.000 Vance, he's made that really clear.

01:53:02.000 J.D.

01:53:02.000 Vance, I'll say this about him, is a thoroughly decent man.

01:53:05.000 And I'll just admit it, a friend of mine, one of the very few politicians in Washington who actually is very close to his own wife, which is wonderful to see.

01:53:15.000 And she's wonderful, actually.

01:53:18.000 But J.D.

01:53:19.000 Vance has views that are closer to Trump's voters than anyone else in Washington in office.

01:53:26.000 Therefore, he's the vice president.

01:53:28.000 That's called democracy.

01:53:32.000 Yeah, that's why he called them all racist, right?

01:53:34.000 And that is what's happened over the past month, since the debate, and particularly on Saturday in Butler,

01:53:44.000 I think a lot of people are wondering, what is this?

01:53:47.000 This doesn't look like politics.

01:53:49.000 Something bigger is going on here.

01:53:50.000 I think even people who don't believe in God are beginning to think, well, maybe there's something to this.

01:53:56.000 Actually.

01:53:58.000 And I'm starting to think it's going to be OK, actually.

01:54:04.000 I do think that.

01:54:05.000 I'm relieved.

01:54:06.000 The day after the midterm elections in 2018, Antifa came to my house.

01:54:14.000 The Democratic Party's militia, okay?

01:54:16.000 I was at work.

01:54:16.000 It was obvious when I was at work because it was public.

01:54:18.000 My wife was home alone.

01:54:19.000 They tried to come in through the front door.

01:54:21.000 They terrorized her.

01:54:22.000 She hid in our pantry.

01:54:23.000 It was on television.

01:54:24.000 It was horrible, actually.

01:54:26.000 I mean, I'm not whining about it.

01:54:28.000 It wasn't getting shot in the face, but it wrecked our day.

01:54:32.000 And the next morning, we're lying in bed, and the phone rings for my wife, and it's Donald Trump, who's not like a regular text buddy of Donald Trump's.

01:54:41.000 She picks it up.

01:54:43.000 Susie, it's Donald Trump!

01:54:44.000 And it's coming through.

01:54:45.000 You know, I'm lying in bed.

01:54:45.000 I can hear it.

01:54:47.000 Whoa!

01:54:48.000 And the first thing he says is, I'm going to stand guard outside your house.

01:54:52.000 And she goes, oh, that's so nice.

01:54:55.000 And he says, I'll never forget this as long as I live.

01:54:57.000 He says, you know, there's a lot of hate out there.

01:54:59.000 And she said, you know, there is, Mr. President.

01:55:01.000 And then he says, but there's a lot of love.

01:55:04.000 There's a lot of love.

01:55:07.000 And we are seeing that love.

01:55:10.000 I don't think it's human love.

01:55:13.000 Emperor Trump.

01:55:15.000 It's Donald Trump!

01:55:16.000 That's so awesome.

01:55:16.000 He fixed up the phone.

01:55:17.000 Why?

01:55:17.000 Why would you not say that?

01:55:18.000 That's crazy.

01:55:19.000 Among us?

01:55:43.000 Yeah, weird speech.

01:55:46.000 That's just like a weird Fed speech.

01:55:54.000 I'm glad that Trump didn't inflame division and it's really democracy and JD Vance is gonna bomb China because they're giving us drugs.

01:56:05.000 I'm not sure how I follow Tucker.

01:56:09.000 But I'm gonna give it a go.

01:56:13.000 Good evening, everyone.

01:56:15.000 My name is Carrie Ruiz, and like some people on this stage this evening, I am not a politician.

01:56:23.000 I am not a public figure.

01:56:28.000 I'm a mom of three and a woman of faith who's been fortunate to work side-by-side with Donald Trump and his amazing family.

01:56:39.000 I love the real people.

01:56:41.000 The political people I cannot stand.

01:56:44.000 But I love the real people that have given speeches.

01:57:03.000 With his keen eye for business and uncanny ability to make things better, Donald Trump got to work.

01:57:14.000 He poured hundreds of millions of dollars and his own sweat and tears into the property.

01:57:22.000 He had a hand in virtually everything, and no detail was too small.

01:57:30.000 He didn't just change the carpet or apply a fresh coat of paint.

01:57:36.000 He stripped this legendary resort to its core and rebuilt it the right way.

01:57:50.000 He did the hardest things to make it great again.

01:57:57.000 He also built up the resort's people.

01:58:01.000 Thank you, boss.

01:58:07.000 He empowered us.

01:58:10.000 He listened to us.

01:58:12.000 All of us.

01:58:13.000 And he still does.

01:58:16.000 No matter your role, he asks questions.

01:58:19.000 He wants different opinions.

01:58:23.000 He never demands more of us than he is willing to give.

01:58:28.000 He is as generous as he is brave.

01:58:40.000 And to those who work for him, he provides unwavering support.

01:58:47.000 When he promoted me to the resort's Golf General Manager position, it was an out-of-the-box choice in a historically male-dominated industry.

01:59:00.000 I am not a golf professional.

01:59:02.000 I cannot break 90.

01:59:05.000 Yet.

01:59:07.000 But none of that mattered to President Trump.

01:59:10.000 He looks at things differently.

01:59:14.000 He welcomes the unconventional.

01:59:17.000 And I am proud to be among the countless women he's promoted to leadership positions.

01:59:30.000 I might add, he did it all while no one was looking.

01:59:35.000 The simple truth is, no one can match President Trump's vision and unrelenting drive to make things better.

01:59:52.000 He did it at Doral.

01:59:55.000 He did it as president.

01:59:56.000 The Doral is a great property.

01:59:58.000 He will do it again.

02:00:05.000 The glaze fest.

02:00:07.000 May God continue to bless President Trump, and may God bless the United States of America.

02:00:13.000 Thank you.

02:00:14.000 Awesome.

02:00:17.000 She was good.

02:00:18.000 No, she was fine.

02:00:20.000 This is the final battle.

02:00:22.000 With you at my side, we will demolish the deep state.

02:00:25.000 We will expel the warmongers from our government.

02:00:28.000 We will drive out... The boss!

02:00:29.000 Look at him!

02:00:30.000 Aura!

02:00:30.000 Dude, he's all aura.

02:00:37.000 He's all aura.

02:00:37.000 Aura.

02:00:38.000 Okay.

02:00:38.000 Another intermission.

02:01:06.000 Yeah, Tucker's speech was a little bizarre.

02:01:10.000 Also, let's not forget that Tucker was not only against Trump in 2016, but he's also against Trump in 2020.

02:01:19.000 You can never forget these things, okay?

02:01:21.000 Because, you know, one must remember that when Trump is ascendant, there is a powerful incentive to be on his side.

02:01:31.000 There is a powerful incentive not to piss off the President of the United States and the leader of your movement, the Republican Party, the conservative movement.

02:01:43.000 When their guy is in power, he runs the whole show.

02:01:48.000 He is the economy of the conservative movement.

02:01:52.000 And so that's why it's important to remember that when the chips were down, or when it was controversial before he was hegemonic in the party, it's important to see where people stood.

02:02:04.000 Not when it's easy, not when there's an incentive, but when it was difficult, and when it was not clear that he would be the leader.

02:02:11.000 And I remember that in 2020, when Tucker says this stuff about, oh, elections can be subverted, I have to roll my eyes.

02:02:19.000 Because when the 2020 election was being contested, he did not talk about it on his show.

02:02:25.000 He talked about how the polls were wrong.

02:02:28.000 He did not talk about how the election was stolen at the ballot box.

02:02:32.000 He did not promote Stop the Steal.

02:02:34.000 And then after January 6, we saw the leaked text where he said, I hate Trump.

02:02:38.000 Trump is a demon.

02:02:40.000 He's a divider.

02:02:41.000 He's wrecked the country.

02:02:42.000 I can't wait until he's gone and we never have to talk about him again.

02:02:45.000 He said that privately and for months, he said that for several months.

02:02:53.000 So, it's very easy for everybody now, all this time later, to say, oh, well, everyone just changed their mind.

02:03:01.000 You know, when J.D.

02:03:02.000 Vance called Trump Hitler and said all his supporters are racist, and they hate Obama because they're jealous and they're racist, and when Tucker Carlson said Trump is a demon, I can't wait until he's gone, we never have to talk about him again.

02:03:16.000 It's very easy now, at the big Trump glaze fest, when he's like leading the country, when he's surmounted all the odds, to say, oh, well, now we just love Trump, but we all just changed our minds.

02:03:29.000 But I don't accept that as uncritically as other people do.

02:03:33.000 And granted, yes, people can change their minds.

02:03:36.000 You know, people say, oh, come on, Nick, people can change their minds.

02:03:40.000 Granted.

02:03:42.000 But it's very easy to change your mind when there's a powerful incentive to do so and when it's personally profitable.

02:03:49.000 And that's why we need to discern.

02:03:51.000 It's not a given.

02:03:52.000 Just because somebody says they changed their mind doesn't mean it's a given.

02:03:57.000 And we have to analyze not just whether they changed their mind but when they changed their mind.

02:04:01.000 So some of that stuff I have to roll my eyes a little bit and say it's a little bit rich.

02:04:08.000 You know, oh, J.D.

02:04:09.000 Vance is the VP because this is a democracy.

02:04:12.000 J.D.

02:04:13.000 Vance called all of us Nazis.

02:04:14.000 Thank you.

02:04:14.000 Thank you so much.

02:04:17.000 Good evening.

02:04:18.000 My name is Annette Albright.

02:04:21.000 I grew up in the small town of Mount Airy, North Carolina.

02:04:21.000 Oh, boy.

02:04:29.000 North Carolina!

02:04:33.000 Like my parents and my grandparents, I was a lifelong member of the Democrat Party.

02:04:42.000 Don't worry, the story gets better from here.

02:04:50.000 After completing a degree in criminal justice, I started a career working with the North Carolina Department of Corrections.

02:05:00.000 I left my job in the criminal justice system to work for Charlotte-Mecklenburg School District, to engage our youth before they got stuck in the system.

02:05:14.000 It didn't take long for me to realize that public schools are a part of the problem.

02:05:29.000 Sadly, too many of our schools are more like prisons than places of learning.

02:05:37.000 That must change.

02:05:37.000 Really?

02:05:41.000 In what way?

02:05:44.000 In one public high school, I witnessed a full-blown riot.

02:05:51.000 I saw many violent altercations between students and physical attacks on staff.

02:06:01.000 During my 14 years working with the Department of Public Safety, offenders never laid a hand on me.

02:06:12.000 Yet, I was violently assaulted by a group of students in a public high school.

02:06:28.000 The uptick in school violence was related to an Obama-Biden policy that directed schools to reduce suspension rates and keep dangerous students in the classroom.

02:06:48.000 Okay.

02:06:51.000 Okay.

02:06:52.000 President Trump

02:06:54.000 Reverse the Obama policy and put the safety of our kids first.

02:07:02.000 I was skeptical, but yeah.

02:07:09.000 Violence on public school campuses should not be a Democrat issue.

02:07:16.000 It should not be a Republican issue.

02:07:18.000 It is an American people issue.

02:07:24.000 Well, it's a little more narrow than that.

02:07:29.000 Sadly, I've repeatedly seen that the Democrat Party cares more about appeasing the teachers union than they do about prioritizing the needs of our kids.

02:07:50.000 They champion safe spaces instead of safe schools.

02:07:56.000 This is completely wrong.

02:08:04.000 Little by little, I begin to see the truth.

02:08:08.000 While Democrats spend more money on a broken system, Republicans are empowering parents and fighting for school choice.

02:08:28.000 While Democrats think school resource officers are a threat to our students, Republicans know that they protect our kids.

02:08:44.000 While Democrats won't admit that our schools are failing, Republicans will fix the system and make our schools safe.

02:09:01.000 That's why this year, for the first time in my life, I am registered as a Republican.

02:09:18.000 Thank you.

02:09:20.000 Thank you.

02:09:22.000 And in November, I will proudly cast my vote for Donald J. Trump!

02:09:40.000 Only together, we can make America's schools great again.

02:09:50.000 Thank you, and God bless America.

02:09:58.000 Nice.

02:10:00.000 Yeah, that was alright.

02:10:02.000 That was surprising.

02:10:03.000 I thought, because she had the rainbow skirt on, I thought she was gonna be some progressive or something, but...

02:10:10.000 Yeah, that was fine.

02:10:12.000 Packed house!

02:10:13.000 It's gonna be a big night.

02:10:14.000 They got Hulk Hogan coming up.

02:10:16.000 I can't wait to see what Trump's entrance will be like.

02:10:20.000 I hope it's cool.

02:10:21.000 I mean, Trump's entrance in 2016, at least for the Monday speech, was so iconic.

02:10:27.000 You have to make an entrance after you get shot.

02:10:31.000 And it has to be better than the entrance we got on Monday.

02:10:33.000 I thought that was a little awkward.

02:10:37.000 Big night ahead of us.

02:10:37.000 So we'll see.

02:10:40.000 Cheeseheads are out in Milwaukee.

02:10:46.000 We got Franklin Graham coming up, I believe, also.

02:10:54.000 So we'll see.

02:10:54.000 Yeah, Hulk Hogan, Franklin Graham, Trump.

02:11:05.000 Yeah, so like I was saying about Tucker,

02:11:07.000 He

02:11:29.000 is deeply conservative.

02:11:31.000 The base that elected Trump is deeply nationalistic.

02:11:35.000 And I think that Tucker and Vance, say whatever you will about them, they really are part of the elite.

02:11:45.000 Vance went to Yale Law School.

02:11:47.000 Vance was a desk Marine.

02:11:54.000 Tucker wanted to join the CIA.

02:11:56.000 His father was a intelligence agent.

02:11:59.000 And these are two guys who are pretty liberal.

02:12:02.000 You know, they're part of that liberal milieu.

02:12:04.000 Tucker hosted Crossfire.

02:12:07.000 And was a National Review guy.

02:12:10.000 And wore a bow tie.

02:12:12.000 And he was in favor of the Iraq war.

02:12:15.000 And so when Tucker, who says that Trump is a demon and says that Trump is what you get when the country is corrupt, like it's he was something that was inflicted upon us.

02:12:25.000 And when Vance says that Trump is like Hitler, I think it shows that, you know, they may come around and see that Trump is the better president.

02:12:34.000 But on a deep level, they're really not actually quite like the Republican base.

02:12:38.000 They're actually not like

02:12:40.000 The constituency of the GOP.

02:12:42.000 And again, for better or for worse, say whatever you want about that.

02:12:47.000 But he's saying that it's extremely democratic that J.D.

02:12:50.000 Vance became the vice president.

02:12:51.000 I don't agree with that.

02:12:53.000 In his book, Hillbilly Elegy, which everybody celebrates, these are his Rust Belt roots in Appalachia.

02:13:00.000 In Hillbilly Elegy, he basically blames the people of Appalachia for their own problems.

02:13:06.000 He says that it's their fault.

02:13:09.000 He says they're mired by poverty and addiction, but really their own behavior is to blame.

02:13:17.000 And that's a pretty elitist attitude.

02:13:19.000 I don't see how that's very much different from how anybody else in the mainstream media or any other Wall Street Journal reader would look at the situation, this kind of aloof, condescending attitude.

02:13:34.000 So I think it's all a little bit strange.

02:13:37.000 And of course, Tucker Carlson personally advocated for Vance.

02:13:40.000 The rumor is that Donald Trump was about to select Burgum.

02:13:44.000 Burgum was the favorite to be the vice president, but it was Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson and I believe David Sachs

02:13:52.000 I may have that wrong though, but I know it was Tucker who called him on after the assassination and shortly beforehand and insisted that JD Vance should get the nomination.

02:14:01.000 It was a last minute decision and he was going to go with Burgum before that.

02:14:08.000 So I think the whole thing is very strange.

02:14:10.000 We also have to point out that Tucker Carlson's father was an intelligence agent, and J.D.

02:14:17.000 Vance, his mentor, is a deep state contractor.

02:14:20.000 Now again, I don't know if Tucker Carlson's a federal agent, and I'm not even making a claim necessarily about Vance.

02:14:28.000 Is that Russell Brand?

02:14:31.000 Russell Brand in attendance.

02:14:33.000 It's just a fact that J.D.

02:14:36.000 Vance's mentor, Peter Thiel, founded Palantir, which is a contractor for the NSA, the CIA, all the federal law enforcement.

02:14:44.000 They helped identify with facial recognition people at the Capitol, or Clearview AI did, which Thiel's an investor in also.

02:14:52.000 And so Vance comes from that world, comes from the tech national security world, and he got the strongest endorsement from the PayPal mafia.

02:15:01.000 From Elon Musk, from Teal, from Sachs, from those guys at the Sachs fundraiser, and from Tucker Carlson, whose father was a serious federal agent for his entire career.

02:15:15.000 So, we just have to point these things out so that people are aware.

02:15:18.000 I think people are getting this idea.

02:15:20.000 I saw, for example, on Twitter, people are saying, J.D.

02:15:23.000 Vance is a rural white guy.

02:15:25.000 Oh, that's great.

02:15:26.000 We got a rural white guy.

02:15:27.000 J.D.

02:15:29.000 Vance is not a rural white guy.

02:15:31.000 Okay?

02:15:33.000 J.D.

02:15:34.000 Vance went to Yale Law School, which has a graduating class of 200.

02:15:37.000 It's a very small and very exclusive and very prestigious clique.

02:15:43.000 We're good to go.

02:15:59.000 And then he went to work for American Enterprise Institute, which has never produced anything good.

02:16:04.000 CNN, Netflix, he glazed Obama, said that everyone hates him because they're racist, didn't like Trump.

02:16:11.000 Vance voted for Evan McMullin.

02:16:13.000 Evan McMullin is a CIA agent who was picked by Bill Kristol to run against Trump in 16, as a spoiler.

02:16:22.000 So you start to piece this together and you realize these are not just white guys.

02:16:26.000 Like Tucker's also not just a white guy.

02:16:29.000 Tucker's an extraordinarily privileged guy.

02:16:31.000 And by privileged, I don't mean white privilege.

02:16:34.000 I mean he comes from the American elite.

02:16:36.000 His father was a federal

02:16:40.000 Employee.

02:16:41.000 So these people are actually very much not like us.

02:16:43.000 Curtis Yarvin, who grew up on military bases, who influenced J.D.

02:16:48.000 Vance, is not a white guy.

02:16:50.000 He's Jewish.

02:16:51.000 He's not even really from America.

02:16:53.000 Rene Girard is not just another Catholic who's influenced Thiel and Vance.

02:16:59.000 So, point being is you really have to interrogate who these people are.

02:17:02.000 They're not just, oh, these are just folksy white guys like us.

02:17:05.000 No, they're a little different.

02:17:07.000 They kind of have a different M.O.

02:17:10.000 than we do.

02:17:14.000 So it's just important to be aware of all the facts.

02:17:17.000 So that we don't get duped.

02:17:21.000 Okay.

02:17:25.000 That would be like saying that George Bush Sr.

02:17:27.000 is a white guy.

02:17:28.000 Like, no, he was the head of the CIA.

02:17:30.000 You would never say that George H.W.

02:17:32.000 Bush was a white guy.

02:17:34.000 Uh, no.

02:17:36.000 The guy was former head of the CIA.

02:17:39.000 You would never say that George W. Bush is another white- He's a cowboy from Texas.

02:17:44.000 It's like, no, he's not even from Texas.

02:17:46.000 And his dad was a CIA agent.

02:17:48.000 Like, he's different than us.

02:17:51.000 So...

02:17:55.000 So that's what I have to say about the Tucker speech.

02:17:59.000 And I don't think that speech was... I think that speech was very interesting.

02:18:08.000 Because what were the major points?

02:18:11.000 That Trump did not inflame division?

02:18:15.000 I'm sorry, but I don't think it's actually a foregone conclusion that that's a good thing.

02:18:20.000 Whether you think that Trump was almost killed by the deep state or that Trump was killed by a radical who was created by the media, we have a serious problem.

02:18:32.000 Only one side is getting shot at.

02:18:33.000 Only one side is getting thrown in jail.

02:18:36.000 Only one side is getting censored and the victim of lawfare.

02:18:40.000 And when we are repeatedly victimized and targeted and they try to kill us, isn't... Oh, hey, there's Laura Loomer.

02:18:47.000 There's our girl.

02:18:49.000 There she is.

02:18:52.000 And anyway, when these things happen to us and we take the high road, when they go low, we go high, is that necessarily a good thing?

02:19:01.000 I mean, maybe it is, but is it necessarily?

02:19:03.000 He says, well, he could have inflamed a vision and come up with conspiracy theories about why he was shot, but he didn't.

02:19:09.000 He unified the country.

02:19:11.000 Yeah, I don't know.

02:19:11.000 I mean, maybe that's an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

02:19:17.000 Isn't that a good thing?

02:19:19.000 If it was the other way around, for example, let's say somebody made an attempt on Joe Biden's life.

02:19:26.000 Would the left waste one single solitary second to mobilize law enforcement against Trump supporters?

02:19:34.000 Think about it.

02:19:36.000 Let's say that instead of Trump getting shot, let's say that it happened to Biden and it was one of the MAGA extremists.

02:19:43.000 Let's say it was some rogue Trump supporter.

02:19:45.000 Would they waste a second?

02:19:47.000 Would they wait a second to mobilize the media, law enforcement, politics?

02:19:55.000 It would be a full-on censorship regime.

02:19:57.000 They would arrest everybody connected.

02:19:59.000 They would be calling for Trump to drop out.

02:20:01.000 It would be over.

02:20:06.000 And Tucker praises Trump for not doing that this time.

02:20:10.000 For taking the high road and rewriting his speech to be about unity and inviting Nikki Haley and DeSantis to come to the convention in the name of unity.

02:20:20.000 I don't know if that's necessarily a good thing.

02:20:23.000 Do we want unity with people that want to kill us?

02:20:26.000 It's a totally one-way street.

02:20:28.000 The left does not seek unity.

02:20:31.000 The political left, the left-wing people in the country, they do not want unity.

02:20:36.000 When Trump got shot, they said, oh, it's a shame that the shooter missed.

02:20:41.000 When Trump got shot, not just the politicians, but regular people that work at like Home Depot said, oh, it's a shame he didn't get hit.

02:20:49.000 That's like a popular sentiment.

02:20:53.000 And we're supposed to unify with these people?

02:20:55.000 We're supposed to wrap our arms around them and embrace them?

02:20:58.000 And we're supposed to decline to use this as an opportunity?

02:21:03.000 To expand our power?

02:21:08.000 And by the way, this is the same mistake that they made in 2016.

02:21:11.000 Let's not forget that Trump just got convicted a month ago in Manhattan.

02:21:17.000 And he got convicted because the moment he left office, every Democrat jurisdiction has tried to use law enforcement to take him out of the race and bankrupt him.

02:21:28.000 Civil suits, criminal cases, federal cases.

02:21:33.000 And of course, what I said after he got convicted is, why did Trump not do this to Hillary Clinton?

02:21:41.000 When Trump beat Hillary Clinton in 2016, he said, oh, we're not going to prosecute her.

02:21:45.000 Oh, we're not going to fire everybody.

02:21:47.000 We're not going to fire James Comey.

02:21:49.000 We're not going to fire every Democrat.

02:21:51.000 We're not going to hire only loyalists.

02:21:54.000 We're going to be magnanimous, and we're going to bring in people from the Republican Party.

02:21:58.000 And we're not going to prosecute our opponents.

02:22:01.000 And how did that pay off?

02:22:03.000 How did that work out?

02:22:06.000 We got sabotage and subversion for four years.

02:22:09.000 We got two impeachments.

02:22:12.000 We got a rigged midterm, rigged election in 2020.

02:22:16.000 We got the coup.

02:22:16.000 We got the January 6th lawfare.

02:22:19.000 We got all the other lawfare culminating in an assassination attempt.

02:22:23.000 By no means should Trump have even been the nominee based on what was happening between January 6th and

02:22:31.000 And really, the beginning of the law fair on October 7th.

02:22:37.000 And now here we are, and all these people, they feel, you know, and you know, God bless them, they're earnest people.

02:22:44.000 But they just desperately crave to be accepted by the left.

02:22:50.000 And as long as that's the case, the left will always be in power.

02:22:54.000 When we hold our convention, they try to kill our leader, and our leader comes up and says, oh, come on, they're not so bad, it's all unity, it's all love, it's whatever.

02:23:06.000 If it was the other way around, the Democratic nominee would get up and say, we're going to war against Republicans, and they would be doing war chants.

02:23:15.000 And they would be marching, they'd practically be raising guns in the air, ready to go and kill all of us.

02:23:24.000 And then you have this Home Depot thing, which I haven't talked about.

02:23:27.000 I think it's a giant distraction.

02:23:29.000 But there's been so much discussion about, I guess, this libs of TikTok Twitter account found a Home Depot employee who posted on Facebook, some old woman, that Trump should have gotten hit.

02:23:42.000 The shooter shouldn't have missed.

02:23:43.000 And they got this woman fired.

02:23:44.000 And everybody said, oh, that's such a terrible thing.

02:23:47.000 And it's like the right just never learns the lesson.

02:23:50.000 They never learn that we have to punish our enemies, even as much as they talk about it.

02:23:57.000 And then a guy like Tucker gets up on the stage and says, oh, it's a good thing.

02:24:02.000 I'm glad that he unified the country.

02:24:04.000 He didn't unite the country.

02:24:05.000 They all still hate him.

02:24:10.000 So, all right.

02:24:11.000 What's going on?

02:24:12.000 Why are they not getting on with the program?

02:24:16.000 So those are just some thoughts about it.

02:24:18.000 Like I said, and none of it is even a foregone conclusion.

02:24:21.000 I mean, we can talk about whether or not should Trump have had a unifying message.

02:24:25.000 Should he not have?

02:24:27.000 I mean, maybe.

02:24:28.000 But for Tucker to go up there and that is like his overriding point about the assassination is... And also, he seems to not want to attribute it to God.

02:24:39.000 He says, well, yeah, it's not an act of God.

02:24:42.000 It's like, well,

02:24:45.000 You know, it's just sort of miraculous.

02:24:48.000 Oh yeah, well I'm not gonna say God is with us or I'm with God, he says.

02:24:52.000 I wouldn't say I'm with God.

02:24:54.000 Why would you not say that?

02:24:56.000 You wouldn't say that you're with God?

02:24:57.000 Why not?

02:24:59.000 He says, but God is among us.

02:25:01.000 Yeah, obviously God is omnipresent.

02:25:06.000 He's omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent.

02:25:09.000 God is always among us.

02:25:10.000 God is never not among us.

02:25:13.000 The kingdom of God is within.

02:25:15.000 He's in and around everything.

02:25:18.000 We are participating in His existence.

02:25:20.000 Of course God is among us.

02:25:23.000 So I don't know what that was supposed to mean.

02:25:24.000 That was also a weird message.

02:25:26.000 And this is where I say, again, you have like normal people getting up there on the stage, and like I said earlier, it so vindicates this.

02:25:35.000 You have these people getting up earlier, and yeah, they're a little corny, and yeah, they're like super Protestant, I'm Catholic, but their love of Jesus is sincere.

02:25:45.000 Like, yeah, they're not Catholic, okay.

02:25:48.000 But they profess the name Jesus Christ.

02:25:51.000 And maybe it's corny, but they do it without irony, without self-consciousness.

02:25:57.000 It's earnest.

02:25:59.000 It's an earnest and a sincere and a deep love for God and Jesus.

02:26:04.000 So, you know, I don't think we need to be indifferent about those differences, but there is something valuable about that.

02:26:11.000 You have a black pastor, you have Ben Carson get up there, and you could tell they have the joy and the love of God in their heart.

02:26:18.000 It's the way they talk, it's the way they look, you could see it in their face, you could read it in their eyes.

02:26:23.000 And it's just, hey, give it all to God.

02:26:26.000 God save Trump.

02:26:28.000 God bless this nation.

02:26:29.000 God saves his people.

02:26:31.000 He does not.

02:26:32.000 He does not forsake his people.

02:26:33.000 And then you get Tucker who gets up there.

02:26:35.000 And again, this is the difference.

02:26:36.000 This is where you get kind of like a cynical liberal elite who likes gay marriage and, you know, all the rest.

02:26:44.000 He thinks that aliens are angels.

02:26:47.000 And he gets up there and says,

02:26:49.000 Yeah, well, okay, maybe it was God, but probably not.

02:26:53.000 And yeah, I wouldn't say I'm with God or God's with... I would never say that!

02:26:56.000 But God is among us.

02:26:57.000 It's like, yeah, that... I don't know.

02:27:00.000 I don't... There's something off about that.

02:27:03.000 There's something off.

02:27:04.000 And I'm not trying to be sly.

02:27:06.000 I'm not insinuating anything.

02:27:08.000 There's something off about that.

02:27:10.000 See, look at this.

02:27:11.000 This is a beautiful woman.

02:27:12.000 Look at her.

02:27:14.000 She's dancing.

02:27:15.000 She's having a good time.

02:27:17.000 She's dancing like nobody's watching.

02:27:19.000 She's drinking a beer!

02:27:20.000 She's drinking a- She's drinking a beer!

02:27:23.000 These are good pe- These are good people.

02:27:25.000 These are decent people.

02:27:27.000 But then you get these cynics that come up like J.D.

02:27:29.000 Vance, and he puts- he puts on this folksy, rust belt, you know, man- meme-a said, she liked the F word.

02:27:38.000 And it's a- it's an act.

02:27:40.000 He's an actor.

02:27:41.000 It's a routine.

02:27:42.000 He's pretending to be like us to win over the...

02:27:46.000 Unsuspecting, earnest sympathy of the masses.

02:27:51.000 And so there's something about that that I just deeply resent and I, like I said, I think there's something off about it.

02:27:59.000 So.

02:28:01.000 And don't get me wrong, you know, a lot of people, they're always like, oh, so you hate Tucker.

02:28:06.000 I don't, I don't hate Tucker.

02:28:08.000 I think Tucker's interesting.

02:28:09.000 I think Tucker says a lot of good things.

02:28:13.000 But I don't think Tucker's 100% aligned with us.

02:28:18.000 On race, on God, on a few other key things.

02:28:21.000 I think that Tucker... Tucker, let's not forget, is part of the Republican milieu.

02:28:26.000 He comes from Fox News.

02:28:28.000 He comes from CNN.

02:28:29.000 He comes from National Review.

02:28:32.000 Okay, he wore the bowtie.

02:28:34.000 He came from that crowd.

02:28:36.000 So when Trump came down the escalator in 16 and rocked everybody's world, Tucker was a part of that world.

02:28:42.000 That's very different than the deplorables.

02:28:44.000 That's why it was so insulting.

02:28:45.000 Like the other day, Jack Posobiec put on Twitter, he's like, oh, a deplorable is now the vice president.

02:28:52.000 You know, you could say, maybe you could say J.D.

02:28:54.000 Vance changed his mind.

02:28:55.000 Maybe.

02:28:57.000 Okay, fine.

02:28:58.000 That's possible.

02:28:59.000 But you can't say that J.D.

02:29:00.000 Vance was a deplorable.

02:29:02.000 The deplorables were the forgotten men and women.

02:29:05.000 The deplorables were the people that suffered the abuses in 2016 when you would actually get punched in the face for wearing a MAGA hat when it was actually controversial.

02:29:14.000 I know I was there.

02:29:16.000 In 2016, I wore a MAGA hat in Boston at college and everyone hated me.

02:29:22.000 And I was called racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, the basket of deplorables comment.

02:29:28.000 I was called all those things.

02:29:30.000 It wasn't popular.

02:29:31.000 It was controversial.

02:29:33.000 The GOP reluctantly rallied behind Trump and they tried to toss him out at the last minute in October.

02:29:39.000 That was the basket of deplorables and none of them were elites.

02:29:44.000 Nobody endorsed him from the elites.

02:29:47.000 The GOP was against him.

02:29:48.000 They were all against him.

02:29:50.000 The deplorables were the salt of the earth, the so-called everyday.

02:29:54.000 I hate when people say everyday people, like we're all here every day.

02:29:57.000 I don't know what that means.

02:29:58.000 What's someone that isn't every day and every other day person?

02:30:01.000 I don't know what that is.

02:30:02.000 But if there is an everyman, let's say it that way,

02:30:08.000 Those were the only people behind Trump.

02:30:11.000 It was Trump and the people.

02:30:13.000 It wasn't Trump and the GOP and the Silicon Valley donors and Fox News.

02:30:19.000 All those people hated him.

02:30:21.000 It was Trump and the people.

02:30:23.000 Our leader and the people, it was him and the Fremen army, him and the militia, the deplorables.

02:30:30.000 And so when Jack Posobiec says, oh, J.D.

02:30:32.000 Vance is a deplorable, no, he wasn't.

02:30:37.000 When the deplorables were with Trump, J.D.

02:30:39.000 Vance was calling Trump a racist, Hitler, noxious, toxic guy, blah, blah, blah.

02:30:47.000 And again, you can say he changed his mind, fine, but he was never a deplorable.

02:30:52.000 And that's the kind of thing that's going on.

02:30:54.000 Let's not forget that Tucker, Vance, all these people that have come in since, they've had a lot of negative things to say about Trump in the intervening years.

02:31:04.000 They've had a lot of disagreements and, you know, they've been part of the system their whole lives.

02:31:09.000 Now that Trump is going to be anointed king once again, now they've all come around and had an epiphany.

02:31:17.000 And I just find that very interesting.

02:31:20.000 So, people need to be a little bit more skeptical.

02:31:24.000 You may come to a different conclusion than me on this, which is fine, but people need to be a little bit more skeptical.

02:31:32.000 When Vance comes around and says, oh hey guys, I changed my mind.

02:31:35.000 By the way, can I have your endorsement?

02:31:38.000 People need to be skeptical.

02:31:40.000 You can't just take it uncritically.

02:31:41.000 Like the other day, I said J.D.

02:31:43.000 Vance isn't a deplorable, and I get all these Trump supporters in my replies, and they're like, well, that's a good thing because he saw the light.

02:31:51.000 And it's like, okay, maybe, but what if he didn't?

02:31:56.000 And shouldn't we be a little bit more skeptical?

02:31:58.000 Shouldn't we be a little more critical?

02:32:01.000 And I think with J.D.

02:32:02.000 So...

02:32:02.000 Vance, it's not there.

02:32:26.000 And what's more, he said very specific things.

02:32:28.000 He didn't say, oh, I don't like Trump's style, or whatever.

02:32:33.000 He said, no, Trump is making me afraid for my Muslim and immigrant friends.

02:32:38.000 He said, Trump is an American Hitler, or he's an asshole.

02:32:43.000 Those are very strong remarks that reflect deeply held beliefs.

02:32:48.000 And I don't think we've seen any evidence that his deeply held beliefs have changed.

02:32:53.000 He's also profited from it too, and that always factors in.

02:32:58.000 So anyway, those are my feelings on this in general.

02:33:01.000 I don't know what the holdup is here.

02:33:02.000 We've been in a holding pattern for like 20 minutes.

02:33:05.000 I don't have like a huge monologue prepared, so I'm just kind of riffing.

02:33:09.000 I'm kind of riffing, saying things where I could like wind it down in 10 seconds if there's another introduction.

02:33:14.000 What's going on?

02:33:15.000 Are they waiting for Hulk Hogan?

02:33:18.000 Hulk Hogan is late.

02:33:22.000 It's also weird that Trump left.

02:33:24.000 Trump left the auditorium and as far as I know hasn't returned.

02:33:29.000 I wonder if there's like a problem going on?

02:33:31.000 Is there something happening I'm not aware of?

02:33:39.000 It's a little bit strange.

02:33:43.000 Oh, okay, he's coming back.

02:33:45.000 Alright, he's back.

02:33:55.000 Alright, so the program should be restarting, I assume.

02:33:59.000 Now that he has returned.

02:34:16.000 Alright.

02:34:30.000 Yeah, weird delay going on.

02:34:32.000 Oh, no!

02:34:34.000 No!

02:34:35.000 Dude, no!

02:34:37.000 No!

02:34:38.000 Jared Kushner and Ivanka?

02:34:40.000 Why are they here?

02:34:41.000 Oh, it's over, man.

02:34:45.000 It's so over.

02:34:50.000 It's over.

02:34:56.000 That's crazy.

02:34:59.000 Yeah, that's it.

02:35:01.000 We're cooked.

02:35:03.000 It's over.

02:35:04.000 We're done.

02:35:11.000 There they are.

02:35:13.000 Ivanka and Jared.

02:35:17.000 Jared Kushner.

02:35:20.000 All right, here we go.

02:35:23.000 The Hulk.

02:35:30.000 This is awesome.

02:35:33.000 Finally a real fucking American.

02:35:36.000 This is a real American.

02:35:37.000 I love the WWE.

02:35:39.000 Nothing more American than that.

02:35:41.000 Talk about deplorable.

02:35:42.000 There's nothing more deplorable culture than WWF, WWE.

02:35:52.000 Fuck yeah.

02:36:00.000 Loved it.

02:36:03.000 This is awesome.

02:36:15.000 All right, let's go!

02:36:16.000 The Hulk.

02:36:18.000 All right.

02:36:42.000 Well, let me tell you something, brother.

02:36:49.000 You know something?

02:36:50.000 When I came here tonight, there was so much energy in this room, I felt maybe I was in Madison Square Garden getting ready to win another world title.

02:37:00.000 Or maybe I thought...

02:37:04.000 The vibe was so intense, the energy was so crazy, it felt like maybe I was gonna press that no-good stinky giant over my head and slam him through the mat, brother.

02:37:14.000 But what I found out was I was in a room full of real Americans, brother.

02:37:22.000 Fuck yeah, real Americans.

02:37:26.000 And at the end of the day, with our leader up there, my hero, that gladiator, we're gonna bring America back together.

02:37:36.000 One real American at a time, brother.

02:37:39.000 Real American.

02:37:46.000 You know something?

02:37:47.000 I've seen some great tag teams in my time.

02:37:51.000 Hulk Hogan, and ooh yeah, the Macho Man Randy Savage.

02:37:58.000 But you know something?

02:38:00.000 I see the greatest tag team of my life standing upon us, getting ready to straighten this country out for all the real Americans.

02:38:15.000 You know, even though you guys are real Americans, you better get ready.

02:38:20.000 Because when Donald J. Trump becomes the President of the United States, all the real Americans are going to be nicknamed Trumpites.

02:38:33.000 Because all the Trumpites are going to be running wild for four years.

02:38:40.000 So with the power of Donald J. Trump and all the Trumpites running wild, America is going to get back on track.

02:38:48.000 And like Donald J. Trump said, America is going to be great again.

02:38:59.000 You know, when I look out and I see all the real Americans, I think about

02:39:06.000 How Donald Trump, his family was compromised.

02:39:11.000 When I look out there and I see Donald Trump, I think about how his business was compromised.

02:39:19.000 But what happened last week when they took a shot at my hero?

02:39:28.000 Alright!

02:39:28.000 Let's go!

02:39:29.000 Let's fucking go.

02:39:31.000 That's awesome.

02:40:22.000 You know something, Trumpites?

02:40:25.000 I didn't come here as Hulk Hogan, but I just had to give you a little taste.

02:40:32.000 You know, my name is Terry Bollea, and as an entertainer,

02:40:39.000 I love you too.

02:40:42.000 And as an entertainer, I try to stay out of politics.

02:40:46.000 But after everything that's happened to our country over the past four years, and everything that happened last weekend, I can no longer stay silent.

02:41:03.000 I'm here tonight because I want the world to know that Donald Trump is a real American hero.

02:41:10.000 And I'm proud to support my hero as the next president of this United States.

02:41:30.000 You know, guys, I've known Donald Trump for over 35 years.

02:41:35.000 You know, hold on a second.

02:41:36.000 Hold on.

02:41:37.000 I just had a flashback.

02:41:39.000 I just had a flashback, man.

02:41:41.000 This is really tripping.

02:41:43.000 You know, the last time I was up on stage, Donald Trump was sitting at ringside at the Trump Plaza.

02:41:51.000 I was bleeding like a pig, and I won the world title right in front of Donald J. Trump.

02:41:59.000 And you know something?

02:41:59.000 That's so awesome.

02:42:01.000 He's gonna win in November and we're all gonna be champions again when he wins.

02:42:09.000 That's a real American.

02:42:12.000 And like I said, I've known that man for over 35 years and he's always been the biggest patriot and he still is.

02:42:22.000 He's always told you exactly what he thought, and he still does, brother.

02:42:29.000 And no matter the odds, he always finds a way to win.

02:42:33.000 And when he's back in our White House, America is gonna start winning again!

02:43:01.000 You know guys, over my career, I've been in the ring with some of the biggest, some of the baddest dudes on the planet.

02:43:09.000 And I've squared off against warriors.

02:43:12.000 Ooh yeah, savages!

02:43:14.000 And I've even, like I said, body slammed giants in the middle of the ring.

02:43:19.000 And I know tough guys.

02:43:21.000 But let me tell you something, brother.

02:43:23.000 Donald Trump is the toughest of them all.

02:43:31.000 They've thrown everything at Donald Trump.

02:43:35.000 All the investigations, the impeachments, the court cases, and he's still standing and kicking their butts.

02:43:49.000 You know, we never had it better than the Trump years.

02:43:53.000 Back then we had a thriving economy.

02:43:56.000 We had strong borders.

02:43:58.000 We had safe streets.

02:44:00.000 We had peace and respect around the world.

02:44:04.000 But then we lost it all in the blink of an eye.

02:44:07.000 Crime is out of control.

02:44:09.000 The border is out of control.

02:44:11.000 The price of food and gas and housing is out of control.

02:44:16.000 And the only person who can clean this up is Donald Trump.

02:44:28.000 You know, guys, I really, really love this country.

02:44:31.000 And I've lived the American dream.

02:44:34.000 And I want my kids, your kids, and all those little teeny hulkamaniacs out there to live the American dream, too.

02:44:48.000 This November, guys, we can save the American dream for everyone.

02:44:53.000 And Donald Trump is the president who will get the job done.

02:45:01.000 So all you criminals, all you lowlifes, all you scumbags, all you drug dealers, and all you crooked politicians need to answer one question, brother.

02:45:14.000 What you gonna do when Donald Trump and all the Trumpamaniacs run wild on you, brother?

02:45:21.000 God bless you, and thank you.

02:45:31.000 Awesome.

02:45:37.000 That was my favorite speech of the convention so far.

02:45:41.000 Easily.

02:45:45.000 Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the President and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and President of Samaritan's Purse, the Reverend Franklin Graham.

02:46:11.000 Good evening.

02:46:17.000 I've got the hardest job tonight.

02:46:18.000 I have to follow Hulk Hogan.

02:46:22.000 But I stand here tonight as a private citizen who loves this country.

02:46:31.000 I've been asked to say a few words and then to pray.

02:46:34.000 And we're going to do that.

02:46:37.000 Last Saturday, in Butler, Pennsylvania,

02:46:42.000 President Trump had a near-death experience.

02:46:47.000 No question.

02:46:48.000 But God spared his life.

02:46:54.000 And when we go through those experiences, it changes us.

02:47:01.000 It can cause us to examine our lives and to reevaluate our priorities, as you should.

02:47:07.000 When President Trump

02:47:10.000 I cannot explain why God would save one life and allow another one to be taken.

02:47:17.000 I don't have the answer for that.

02:47:19.000 But one thing I do know,

02:47:38.000 is that God loves us and He wants us to be with Him in heaven one day.

02:47:46.000 And that's through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.

02:47:50.000 You see, the Bible says that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him shouldn't perish but should have everlasting life.

02:48:03.000 For as long

02:48:06.000 For as long as I've known President Trump, I've found him to be a man of his word.

02:48:11.000 Things that he said he'll do, he did.

02:48:15.000 When he told me and our country in 2016 that he was going to appoint conservative justices, guess what?

02:48:24.000 Yeah, well they all suck.

02:48:24.000 He did.

02:48:27.000 In 2016 he said he would defend religious liberty.

02:48:31.000 And guess what?

02:48:33.000 He did.

02:48:36.000 In 2019, I was with him at the United Nations when the first president of history of this country stood there to advocate for religious liberty worldwide.

02:48:53.000 When American citizen and pastor Andrew Brunson was being held in a Turkish jail on false accusations, President Trump demanded that he be released

02:49:06.000 And he applied economic pressure and sanctions until they did that.

02:49:14.000 I'm grateful and thankful for what he did as the 45th President of the United States.

02:49:21.000 And I know that as the 47th President, he will keep his word to the American people to make America great once again.

02:49:37.000 It's an honor for me to be asked to pray for Donald Trump this evening.

02:49:45.000 And so what I'd like to do, I'd like us to pray, but I'd like us all to stand as we call upon the name of the God of heaven.

02:49:58.000 Our Heavenly Father, we come before you this evening with grateful hearts.

02:50:05.000 Thank you for saving the life of President Donald J. Trump.

02:50:12.000 In his own words, it was you and you alone who saved him.

02:50:19.000 We pray for the others that were injured on Saturday, for the family who lost their loved one.

02:50:27.000 Put your loving arms around them.

02:50:30.000 Comfort them, and may they sense your presence.

02:50:34.000 We stand before you tonight.

02:50:36.000 We say thank you for the provisions you have given to the United States of America.

02:50:42.000 You have blessed this country more than any country in the world.

02:50:46.000 Sadly, as a nation, we have forgotten who is responsible for all the freedoms, the liberties, and the bounty that we enjoy.

02:50:54.000 It has all come for you.

02:50:56.000 Thank you.

02:50:58.000 This evening, our nation is in trouble.

02:51:01.000 We're divided politically, racially, economically, with millions of people seeking refuge and hope in our dry and thirsty land.

02:51:10.000 You're the only one who can fix the complexity of the problems that we face today.

02:51:16.000 We pray for President Trump, that you would give him wisdom, strength, and a clear vision

02:51:23.000 for the future of this nation and the task that is at hand.

02:51:27.000 Continue to protect him from his enemies.

02:51:31.000 I pray that you would surround him with men and women who will give him sound counsel and guidance.

02:51:37.000 We pray for Melania, for Barron, and for all the President Trump's children and grandchildren.

02:51:44.000 We pray for Senator J.D.

02:51:45.000 Vance, his wife, Usa, along with their young family.

02:51:49.000 We're thankful for his strong stand for defending life

02:51:54.000 As your word instructs, we also pray for the leaders of our nation, whether they're Republican, Democrat, or Independent.

02:52:02.000 We know that all authority comes from you.

02:52:05.000 You are a great God, and we ask that if it be thy will that you will make America great once again.

02:52:14.000 And we ask that you'll unite our hearts, bring us together, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

02:52:23.000 And we pray this in the mighty name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, the King of kings and the Lord of lords.

02:52:31.000 Amen.

02:52:48.000 Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome businessman and executive vice president of the Trump Organization, Eric Trump.

02:52:57.000 You know what's weird is Melania's not here.

02:52:59.000 I just noticed that.

02:53:01.000 Melania hasn't been here the entire time, which is pretty weird.

02:53:07.000 She's clearly got some kind of beef because she's not been around since 2021.

02:53:11.000 It's kind of sad actually.

02:53:15.000 I feel bad for him.

02:53:17.000 Good evening, America!

02:53:25.000 Eight years ago, my father sat our family down.

02:53:29.000 He spoke of a nation in decline, of dreams slipping away, of a future endangered by failed leadership and broken promises.

02:53:40.000 It was in that moment I knew my father had made a decision that would forever change our lives.

02:53:46.000 We realized he had chosen to step into the arena.

02:53:50.000 To fight for the soul of America.

02:53:53.000 He decided to leave behind the comforts of an unbelievable business empire.

02:53:58.000 To leave behind everything he had ever built.

02:54:02.000 To answer the call to serve our nation.

02:54:07.000 Unlike his predecessor, it was not a decision born out of necessity.

02:54:14.000 Unlike the current president, it was not a decision that would enrich his family.

02:54:20.000 Rather, it was a decision made out of love for this country and a deep concern for America's future.

02:54:40.000 My father was clear it would not be easy, that there would be a huge price to pay, and that the attacks would be vicious.

02:54:48.000 Looking back, that was an understatement.

02:54:50.000 The made-up Russia hoax, the sham impeachments, the efforts to destroy an unbelievable company, a company that I run today, the efforts to cancel us, to silence him, to gag his free speech, and to drag him through every radical left courthouse in America, to take his life,

02:55:11.000 Yet through it all, he's shown unwavering courage and determination, not just in public, but in every private conversation with me and our family.

02:55:30.000 He stood tall, fueled not by personal ambition, but by a profound love for this country,

02:55:37.000 And a love for all of you, the American people.

02:55:40.000 That man is my father.

02:55:42.000 That man is the 45th president and soon to be 47th president of the United States.

02:55:50.000 That man is Donald J. Trump.

02:56:22.000 Each time I've stood on this stage, America has been a dire crossroads.

02:56:26.000 In 2016, many people began to doubt the promise of America.

02:56:31.000 Our economy was struggling.

02:56:33.000 Jobs were scarce.

02:56:34.000 Our standing on the world stage was weak at best.

02:56:38.000 Veterans were forgotten.

02:56:39.000 Our military was in shambles.

02:56:41.000 Our educational system was broken.

02:56:44.000 Ranked 30th in the world.

02:56:46.000 He could no longer tolerate an inept administration that handed $150 billion to Iran, a country that chants death to America, or witness the continued attacks on our Constitution and our religious liberty, or see the disrespect shown to our unbelievable law enforcement officers who are being disarmed, defunded, and persecuted each and every day.

02:57:15.000 He could no longer stand to see words like Christmas stripped from public use or the Pledge of Allegiance removed from our schools.

02:57:22.000 But my father saw potential where others saw despair.

02:57:27.000 Donald Trump built the New York City skyline.

02:57:31.000 He did so during a time when businesses were turning away from the city he loved.

02:57:39.000 Crime was rampant.

02:57:41.000 The streets were dirty.

02:57:43.000 But he had the mightiest touch, and he turned those streets and neighborhoods into gold.

02:57:49.000 He faced every challenge with tremendous vision and grit.

02:57:52.000 As he did during the 2016 election, he rolled up his sleeves.

02:57:56.000 He remained unapologetic.

02:57:58.000 He did not care to be politically correct.

02:58:11.000 He restored hope.

02:58:13.000 He restored a voice to millions of Americans who had been ignored.

02:58:17.000 He restored the American Dream.

02:58:20.000 Under my father's leadership, the economy climbed to record heights.

02:58:24.000 Jobs were created at an unthinkable pace.

02:58:28.000 Unemployment reached historic lows across all demographics.

02:58:32.000 Wage growth soared.

02:58:34.000 He cut taxes for hard-working families and businesses.

02:58:36.000 He slashed regulations.

02:58:39.000 We saw the greatest 401k increase in American history.

02:58:50.000 People bought their first homes in an environment that saw 2-3% interest rates.

02:58:55.000 They started their families.

02:58:59.000 My father made the United States energy independent with the lowest gas prices in decades.

02:59:09.000 My father made the United States safe.

02:59:12.000 Our borders were closed.

02:59:13.000 There was peace in the Middle East.

02:59:15.000 Soleimani, al-Baghdadi, the terrorists were dead.

02:59:24.000 My father made the United States respected again, with the courage to walk into countries like North Korea, with the courage to impose tariffs on China, and with the courage to tear up trade deals that cost Americans their jobs.

02:59:43.000 He brought manufacturing back to America.

02:59:45.000 Small businesses flourished.

02:59:47.000 He did what he promised.

02:59:49.000 He put America first.

02:59:51.000 We were winning.

02:59:53.000 Donald Trump made America great again.

03:00:07.000 But he also created a movement.

03:00:09.000 A movement that threatened the special interests and the political elites.

03:00:14.000 A movement that cast a bright light on the institutions weaponized against the American people.

03:00:20.000 You see it in our schools.

03:00:21.000 God bless the moms who fought back.

03:00:31.000 You see it in your workplace.

03:00:32.000 You see it on every news station, in every newspaper.

03:00:36.000 You see it in the military.

03:00:37.000 The most iconic military installations on planet Earth are stripped of their identity and renamed.

03:00:43.000 Fort Bragg, Benning, Fort Hood.

03:00:47.000 You see it in Hollywood.

03:00:49.000 You see it in our two-tier judicial system.

03:00:51.000 They don't even hide it anymore.

03:00:56.000 My father has been censored, the former president ripped off Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook while terrorist organizations remain intact.

03:01:06.000 My father has been persecuted, targeted by far-left Democrats, funded by special interest groups, and hand-picked judges.

03:01:15.000 My father has been pulled off the ballots of states, radical justices attempting to defy the will of millions of Americans who adore who he is,

03:01:25.000 And what he stands for.

03:01:28.000 My father even became the target of an assassin who almost killed America's single greatest hope for our future.

03:01:37.000 The swamp is terrified of this incredible movement.

03:01:43.000 They're terrified of it.

03:01:45.000 They're terrified of you and the tens of millions of people watching us on TV right now.

03:01:52.000 They've tried everything to keep him from you.

03:01:54.000 Everything.

03:01:55.000 To destroy his legacy, to destroy his family.

03:01:58.000 They have failed and they will not win.

03:02:01.000 I love my Florida delegation right here.

03:02:28.000 This is a snooze fest.

03:02:30.000 My father stands before you with the most votes of any Republican candidate in the history of our nation.

03:02:38.000 He has defied the predictions of every political pundit.

03:02:43.000 He fills stadiums across our country.

03:02:45.000 He energizes Americans to the issues facing this nation, and does so with unvarnished honesty.

03:02:51.000 He is not a threat to democracy.

03:02:53.000 He is a threat to those who despise our republic, many of whom are bought and sold, bribed and coerced, people who have never signed the front of a check, and who have been dependent on the government their entire adult lives.

03:03:15.000 Today, as it was in 2016, America is at that crossroads again.

03:03:19.000 Energy prices are soaring.

03:03:21.000 Interest rates are crippling.

03:03:22.000 Everything is unaffordable.

03:03:25.000 The U.S.

03:03:25.000 dollar has been diminished.

03:03:27.000 Inflation has made it impossible for Americans to live, to save for their future.

03:03:32.000 Our infrastructure is crumbling.

03:03:34.000 Our border is out of control.

03:03:36.000 Millions are dead and displaced in Russia and Ukraine.

03:03:40.000 A war that has no end, and a war that we are funding.

03:03:44.000 The Middle East has become a hornet's nest.

03:03:47.000 Our greatest ally, Israel, totally under siege.

03:03:51.000 Fentanyl is killing our youth and destroying families while the current administration stands idly by, hoping their inaction will import illegal votes.

03:04:02.000 Crime terrorizes our cities and our suburbs as far-left policies handcuff police.

03:04:08.000 Male athletes, guys my height, six foot five, are swimming in women's sports.

03:04:18.000 Destroying the dreams of young girls who have trained every minute of their lives.

03:04:25.000 We no longer trust our elections, we no longer trust our judicial system, and we no longer believe that our government is working in our best interest.

03:04:38.000 Where's the aura?

03:04:39.000 I want aura.

03:04:41.000 I want Riz.

03:04:42.000 In spite of where we are today, I'd like to speak to every American.

03:04:47.000 Oh, stop with this.

03:04:47.000 This just sucks.

03:04:48.000 Dude, what the fuck about us?

03:04:49.000 Enough about homeless people.

03:04:51.000 Let's talk about Americans.

03:05:10.000 I really do resent when they're like, well, for the homeless veterans, what about us?

03:05:14.000 The homeless are in our parks.

03:05:16.000 And they suck.

03:05:18.000 Not the veterans, of course.

03:05:20.000 It's like, what about people that have homes?

03:05:23.000 We're getting fucked over, too.

03:05:25.000 To the parents who lost a son or daughter to fentanyl, including the incredible woman that spoke the other night, while an administration does absolutely nothing, I'm sorry.

03:05:37.000 Your government can do so much better.

03:05:40.000 And it will.

03:05:49.000 To the children who are being brainwashed instead of learning the fundamentals of school, I'm sorry.

03:05:55.000 There are teachers who care, and my father will empower them.

03:06:06.000 To the law enforcement officers, our brave board patrol, Secret Service agents who work every single day to protect our communities, knowing damn well that the system will throw you under the bus.

03:06:16.000 They failed.

03:06:17.000 I'm sorry.

03:06:18.000 We will stand behind you.

03:06:21.000 That's crazy.

03:06:22.000 Why would you give credit to the Secret Service when they failed?

03:06:25.000 Hey, there's our guy.

03:06:29.000 To commuters often petrified to take a bus, take a train, or walk the streets in cities across our nation, I'm sorry.

03:06:37.000 That man right there will fix this.

03:06:48.000 To the construction workers, to the middle-class families, to the families with children with disabilities, families who can no longer afford medical benefits or to take a vacation, I'm sorry, we will make America great again.

03:07:13.000 And to my father,

03:07:15.000 This like, I'm sorry thing is really bad rhetoric.

03:07:17.000 Stop saying I'm sorry.

03:07:52.000 To all Americans watching tonight, the greatest retribution will be our success.

03:07:59.000 Success not just for ourselves, but for our grandchildren and our children.

03:08:04.000 Under President Donald J. Trump, the swamp will be drained.

03:08:07.000 America will be respected.

03:08:09.000 Our cities will be safe.

03:08:10.000 Our streets will be clean.

03:08:12.000 And our border will once again be secure.

03:08:23.000 We will have peace.

03:08:25.000 We will have prosperity.

03:08:27.000 Your hard-earned tax dollars will enrich a better America, not be squandered in corrupt foreign nations.

03:08:34.000 Education will be handed back to the states.

03:08:37.000 We will no longer be 30th in the world.

03:08:40.000 We will be first.

03:08:56.000 Our children will understand family, our children will have values, and our children will love God.

03:09:24.000 Our country will prioritize free speech, respect freedom of religion, and honor our Constitution.

03:09:39.000 As his son, I've never been more proud of a person in my life.

03:09:43.000 A man who has defied all odds more than once.

03:09:47.000 A man who believed in the promise of America when others turned away.

03:09:53.000 A man who saw a nation in need of a champion and answered that call with unwavering determination and courage.

03:10:01.000 A man who survived a bullet that was intended to eliminate him permanently from our future and from our family.

03:10:10.000 Never have I been more proud to be a Trump.

03:10:24.000 Never have I been more proud to stand by my father's side.

03:10:29.000 I remain incredibly honored to be part of this journey.

03:10:31.000 A journey with all of you.

03:10:33.000 A journey to save the greatest country on earth.

03:10:36.000 A journey with the most incredible people I have ever met.

03:10:43.000 Dad.

03:10:46.000 Five days ago, Laura, Luke, Carolina, and I

03:10:53.000 Held our breath as we saw blood pour across your face.

03:10:58.000 By the grace of God, divine intervention, and your guardian angels above, you survived.

03:11:45.000 You are the greatest fighter I have ever seen.

03:11:48.000 You are strong, you are full of life, and you are unapologetic.

03:11:52.000 Your optimism is contagious.

03:11:55.000 Your backbone is unbreakable.

03:11:58.000 Your conviction to fight for what is right and against all that is wrong is truly next level.

03:12:16.000 The whole world saw your strength as you stood up.

03:12:19.000 You wiped the blood off your face.

03:12:21.000 And you put your fist in the air in a moment that will be remembered as one of the most courageous acts in the history of American politics.

03:12:30.000 You shouted, fight, fight, fight!

03:12:52.000 I'm honored to be your son.

03:12:55.000 I'm honored to speak to our great nation tonight.

03:12:58.000 You are a true leader.

03:13:00.000 You epitomize strength.

03:13:02.000 Our country loves you.

03:13:05.000 Our country appreciates you.

03:13:08.000 Our country misses you.

03:13:10.000 And on November 5th, our country will re-elect you as the 47th President of the United States of America.

03:13:22.000 Good night, Milwaukee!

03:13:25.000 God bless you all.

03:13:26.000 I was way too long.

03:13:55.000 Another intermission?

03:13:59.000 This is gonna be a long night.

03:14:01.000 So they have Kid Rock and Dana White coming up, I think?

03:14:06.000 I think that's the rest of the lineup, unless there's somebody else.

03:14:14.000 But since Trump is leaving, I don't know, it seems like we're gonna get another delay.

03:14:19.000 Very bad sign that Jared Kushner and Ivanka are there.

03:14:22.000 I thought they weren't supposed to be a part of this anymore.

03:14:26.000 Let's hope they're just showing up to support him as family.

03:14:42.000 That's the squad.

03:14:43.000 JD, Usha.

03:14:48.000 Jared, Ivanka, Don Jr., Kimberly Guilfoyle.

03:14:56.000 That's rough.

03:14:58.000 It's rough up there.

03:15:03.000 Let's just get this over with.

03:15:05.000 It's been a long week.

03:15:11.000 A lot of... A lot of Trump glazing.

03:15:22.000 Talk about education and energy.

03:15:25.000 None of it's really doing it for me.

03:15:28.000 There's no charisma here.

03:15:30.000 The best speakers aren't even GOP people.

03:15:30.000 There's no energy.

03:15:34.000 The best speakers have been Hulk Hogan and then some of the regular Americans like that black lady.

03:15:42.000 Peter Navarro was pretty good.

03:15:45.000 There's no energy within this party.

03:15:48.000 At least that's how I feel about it.

03:15:51.000 I think there's symbolic energy behind Trump because of the assassination attempt and everything that's going on, but... And here's the other thing, how much of this convention is about the economy?

03:16:02.000 This is just like conventional political wisdom.

03:16:06.000 This is just politics.

03:16:07.000 It's about the economy, stupid!

03:16:09.000 That's like the whole convention.

03:16:12.000 Gas prices, grocery prices, inflation, gas prices, energy, inflation, school choice,

03:16:27.000 So, none of it is really speaking to me in the way that Trump was.

03:16:33.000 And if you were there, you remember.

03:16:34.000 2016 RNC was nuts.

03:16:38.000 I didn't watch any of it other than the Trump speech.

03:16:41.000 Hulk Hogan and Usha and J.D.

03:16:41.000 Oh, there we go.

03:16:43.000 Vance.

03:16:45.000 I love that he kept saying, real American.

03:16:47.000 We need to bring that back.

03:16:50.000 But are you a real American?

03:16:52.000 Everybody calls themselves American.

03:16:55.000 But where are the real Americans?

03:16:58.000 That's the question.

03:17:04.000 So... I'm ready to get it over with.

03:17:18.000 There are new rumors that Joe Biden's going to drop out.

03:17:24.000 They say that after the RNC is over, Joe Biden will retire and withdraw from the race.

03:17:33.000 And that Kamala will be the nominee, not an open convention.

03:17:36.000 That's the latest rumor.

03:17:42.000 Ladies and gentlemen, the next First Lady of the United States, Mrs. Melania Trump.

03:17:51.000 Okay.

03:17:57.000 I really like Melania.

03:17:59.000 Her statement after the assassination was nuts.

03:18:03.000 I mean nuts in a good way.

03:18:03.000 Very good.

03:18:05.000 It's very positive.

03:18:25.000 The Queen of America.

03:18:35.000 She's stunning.

03:18:36.000 Our Queen!

03:18:38.000 Look at her!

03:18:41.000 So elegant.

03:19:10.000 Oh, she's not speaking?

03:19:11.000 I thought she was speaking.

03:19:12.000 This is just her entrance.

03:19:27.000 Now that's a woman.

03:19:28.000 Yeah, look at that, Usha.

03:19:32.000 No, that's mean.

03:19:34.000 Usha's lovely too, but... Melania's next level.

03:19:49.000 And she's Catholic.

03:19:59.000 is uniquely American as the ideals and freedoms we all cherish.

03:20:04.000 A story of a life dedicated to dreaming big.

03:20:08.000 A story about giving back to the people in his beloved city.

03:20:13.000 But most of all, this is a story about putting his country first.

03:20:18.000 And it's a story best told in pictures.

03:20:23.000 Young and confident, Donald Trump wasn't afraid to think big and build even bigger.

03:20:31.000 And he left his mark on the New York skyline that greeted visitors from around the world.

03:20:38.000 But he wasn't just an American entrepreneur.

03:20:41.000 He became a folk hero.

03:20:44.000 Celebrities and sports stars wanted to be seen with him.

03:20:48.000 Politicians sought his approval.

03:20:51.000 And New Yorkers just loved him.

03:20:53.000 And he loved them back.

03:20:55.000 And he gave back.

03:20:57.000 Just one example.

03:20:59.000 Saving the woman's skating rink.

03:21:02.000 The Wollman Skating Rink in Central Park is open again.

03:21:05.000 The city spent nearly six years and twelve million dollars trying to fix it.

03:21:09.000 And then to the rescue, developer Donald Trump.

03:21:11.000 As Tracy Egan tells us now, he accomplished in three and a half months what the city couldn't do in six years.

03:21:17.000 Donald, you perform a great public service.

03:21:24.000 There was no denying that Donald Trump was the toast of the town.

03:21:28.000 But he was also something even more important, a patriotic American.

03:21:33.000 And like many others, he was becoming increasingly troubled by the direction of our country.

03:21:40.000 Because I really am tired of seeing what's happening with this country, how we're really making other people live like kings and we're not.

03:21:48.000 You've said, though, that if you did run for president, you believe you'd win.

03:21:52.000 I think I'd win.

03:21:52.000 Well, I don't know.

03:21:53.000 I tell you what, I wouldn't go in to lose.

03:21:55.000 I've never gone in to lose in my life.

03:21:57.000 And if I did decide to do it, I think I'd be inclined... I would say that I would have a hell of a chance of winning.

03:22:02.000 Because I think people... I don't know how your audience feels, but I think people are tired of seeing the United States ripped off.

03:22:08.000 But who would ever run for president and leave such a glamorous life?

03:22:12.000 Appearances in movies, best-selling books, a widely popular TV show.

03:22:19.000 But for Donald J. Trump, the calling to save his country was even stronger.

03:22:24.000 The mission, more important.

03:22:27.000 The number of Americans being left behind, too large.

03:22:31.000 And so, in Donald Trump fashion, he announced he was running for president, in it to win.

03:22:39.000 And he did.

03:22:50.000 From his first day in office, the Washington politicians learned something about President Trump.

03:22:58.000 He's not afraid to fight for what he believes in.

03:23:02.000 They call that having the courage of your convictions.

03:23:07.000 First up, the Trump tax cuts.

03:23:10.000 Largest in America's history, and it led to higher take-home pay for working families.

03:23:19.000 Unfortunately, today, taxes are up and incomes down.

03:23:24.000 The politicians just never learn.

03:23:29.000 Next for President Trump, secure our border.

03:23:34.000 Check.

03:23:35.000 Miles and miles of wall built.

03:23:39.000 ISIS and other terrorists deterred.

03:23:44.000 Who is this made for when the reference is Barney Fife?

03:23:47.000 Does anybody under the age of 40 understand that reference?

03:23:50.000 I mean, I do, but...

03:24:08.000 President Trump promised he'd keep America out of endless wars.

03:24:14.000 Welcome words to the families of our young men and women who serve.

03:24:20.000 And another promise kept.

03:24:24.000 He started by strengthening our military.

03:24:28.000 Then traveled the world, meeting with our allies.

03:24:32.000 And even with our main adversaries.

03:24:36.000 Just so they understood that America's strength and resolve was back.

03:24:43.000 Because that's what a strong Commander-in-Chief does.

03:24:48.000 And it led to a stable world at peace and our troops safe.

03:24:57.000 Today, a different story.

03:25:00.000 Our enemies smelled weakness.

03:25:04.000 Then set the world on fire.

03:25:06.000 Putin saw it, then invaded Ukraine.

03:25:09.000 Hamas saw it, then started a war in the Middle East.

03:25:13.000 There's one more thing we've learned about President Trump.

03:25:28.000 He believes so strongly in America, so optimistic for our possibilities, and so committed to fighting to once again make our country great, that there is nothing that is going to stop him.

03:26:02.000 Love the gold.

03:26:05.000 Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Kid Rock.

03:26:10.000 I thought Trump was going to come out.

03:26:12.000 Or is he going to sing?

03:26:16.000 Welcome America!

03:26:17.000 If you're ready for President Trump to take the stage, I need everybody to stand up!

03:26:24.000 I need everybody to put a fist up in the air!

03:26:28.000 Everybody, get a fist up in the air!

03:26:33.000 Now follow me!

03:26:33.000 Say fight!

03:26:38.000 Fight!

03:26:39.000 Fight!

03:26:40.000 Fight!

03:26:41.000 Fight!

03:26:42.000 Fight!

03:26:43.000 Fight!

03:26:44.000 Fight!

03:26:45.000 Fight!

03:26:46.000 Fight!

03:26:47.000 Fight!

03:26:48.000 Fight!

03:26:54.000 The devil without a cause.

03:26:55.000 I'm back with the beaver hats and Ben Davis slacks.

03:26:58.000 30 pack of straws, straight rock and roll.

03:27:02.000 No Rogaine in the propane flow.

03:27:04.000 The chosen one, I'm the living proof.

03:27:07.000 With the gift of gab from the city of truth.

03:27:09.000 You know I jab, stab, and I critics back.

03:27:12.000 And I did not start up when I said that.

03:27:15.000 I'm going platinum, selling rhymes.

03:27:18.000 I went platinum seven times.

03:27:20.000 Still the air, they want to see us fry.

03:27:23.000 I guess because only God knows why.

03:27:27.000 They call me cowboy, I'm a singer in black.

03:27:34.000 Throw a fist in the air, let me see where you're at.

03:27:36.000 Say fight!

03:27:39.000 Fight!

03:27:55.000 Both sheepish beasties in the king's upright.

03:27:58.000 Skinner, Sheeter, Lincoln, and Stone.

03:28:01.000 David Attico and No Show Jones.

03:28:03.000 Yeah!

03:28:04.000 Pass that bottle around.

03:28:05.000 Got the rock from Detroit.

03:28:07.000 The soul from Motown.

03:28:09.000 The underground straight Detroit.

03:28:11.000 Pimp with Draxton Mack and Slapback.

03:28:13.000 We're good to go.

03:29:07.000 Oh my gosh!

03:29:38.000 Nice!

03:29:59.000 One more time!

03:30:01.000 I'm a cowboy, badass and black, we say Trump!

03:30:06.000 Trump!

03:30:08.000 Trump!

03:30:08.000 From side to side, from front to back, come on, Trump!

03:30:12.000 Trump!

03:30:13.000 Trump!

03:30:13.000 I put Detroit City back on the map, we say Trump!

03:30:16.000 Trump!

03:30:20.000 Ladies and gentlemen, get ready for the most patriotic American badass on earth, President Donald J. Trump!

03:30:30.000 But first, another American badass, my brother, Dana White!

03:30:35.000 God bless America!

03:30:47.000 Vibe killed.

03:30:51.000 Total ick.

03:30:56.000 That was a rough watch.

03:31:02.000 Maybe I'm a hater.

03:31:36.000 I don't know.

03:31:37.000 I don't know what we're doing.

03:32:10.000 Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

03:32:12.000 I am Dana White.

03:32:13.000 I am the CEO and President of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

03:32:21.000 So two weeks ago, I got a call from President Trump asking me if I'd be willing to speak tonight.

03:32:28.000 As usual, there was no pressure, no demands.

03:32:31.000 He asked me as a friend, and of course I said yes.

03:32:37.000 After I accepted his offer, he sent me a text message, and I just want to read to you a little piece of what President Trump wrote to me.

03:32:46.000 Dana, I'm so honored that you will be doing the introduction at the National Republican Convention.

03:32:53.000 Think of it as the biggest fight you ever had, a fight for our country and even the world.

03:33:00.000 I only wish you didn't have to interrupt your family trip, but I hope they understand, they love you, and they know how important this is.

03:33:11.000 Now think about this.

03:33:12.000 This man's running for President of the United States, he's fighting for the future of this country, and he's concerned about interrupting my family trip.

03:33:22.000 That's the President Trump that I know.

03:33:25.000 A man who truly cares about people.

03:33:32.000 The mainstream media likes to push the narrative that he doesn't care about anyone but himself.

03:33:38.000 I absolutely know that's not the truth because I've been friends with this guy for 25 years.

03:33:46.000 And for the people who know me, they'll know this is true.

03:33:49.000 I just want to make something very clear.

03:33:51.000 Nobody in the Trump campaign has ever told me what to say.

03:33:55.000 Nobody tells me what to say and I'm nobody's puppet.

03:34:04.000 And I'm not telling you what to think.

03:34:07.000 I'm telling you what I know.

03:34:09.000 And I know President Trump.

03:34:12.000 I know President Trump is a fighter.

03:34:15.000 I've been saying this since 2015.

03:34:17.000 Now look at what's happened over the last 10 years.

03:34:20.000 We have all seen it with our own eyes.

03:34:24.000 I'm in the tough guy business.

03:34:26.000 And this man is the toughest, most resilient human being that I have ever met in my life.

03:34:35.000 The higher the stakes, the harder he fights, and this guy never ever gives up.

03:34:41.000 So what's at stake here?

03:34:43.000 The answer is in President Trump's text, and I quote, a fight for our country.

03:34:52.000 I know why he's running for president again.

03:34:55.000 Why else would he put himself through everything he's dealt with just to get back here?

03:34:59.000 We all know he doesn't need this.

03:35:01.000 This guy's got a great life, he has a beautiful family, and he has achieved everything that you could possibly achieve in life.

03:35:09.000 I know President Trump is literally putting his life on the line for something bigger than himself, and he's willing to risk it all because he loves this country.

03:35:26.000 And I know he wants what's best for the American people, all American people.

03:35:33.000 I know he's running for president to save our American dream.

03:35:37.000 I'm living the American dream, and I know the American dream is very real.

03:35:42.000 Whether you were born in this country or came here from someplace else, this is the last real land of opportunity.

03:35:51.000 President Reagan once said,

03:35:55.000 Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.

03:36:00.000 And if you're buried in government red tape, how will you ever start your own business?

03:36:05.000 If you're struggling to pay your bills, how can you ever afford to start a family?

03:36:10.000 And if you don't feel safe in your own town, why would you ever buy a house?

03:36:15.000 I know that President Trump is fighting to save the American dream, and that's what's at stake in this election.

03:36:26.000 We are choosing who we want to lead us in this fight.

03:36:30.000 I know President Trump is a proven leader, a fearless leader, and this country was in a much better place when he was in the Oval Office.

03:36:43.000 In my mind, the choice is clear.

03:36:46.000 But this election, we all get to choose.

03:36:50.000 I know I'm going to choose strength and security.

03:36:53.000 I know I'm going to choose opportunity and prosperity.

03:36:57.000 I know I'm going to choose real American leadership and a real American badass.

03:37:10.000 And I'm not telling you what choice to make, and I'm not telling you what to think.

03:37:14.000 I'm telling you what I know.

03:37:17.000 I know America needs a strong leader, and the world needs a strong America.

03:37:23.000 I know Donald J. Trump is the best choice for President of the United States.

03:37:29.000 My fellow Americans, it is my honor to introduce the 45th and soon-to-be 47th President of the United States,

03:37:39.000 Let's go.

03:37:40.000 All right, here he is.

03:38:10.000 This guy again?

03:38:36.000 Sing it!

03:39:18.000 A little strobe effect.

03:39:20.000 All right, yeah!

03:39:23.000 Yeah, let's go!

03:39:25.000 Oh, that's awesome.

03:39:29.000 So awesome.

03:39:31.000 I love it.

03:39:33.000 I don't like the song, but...

03:39:57.000 God bless the USA!

03:40:50.000 Oh, okay.

03:40:52.000 I was a little confused at first.

03:40:54.000 I'm like, what's... But that's a nice tribute.

03:41:36.000 There he is, the man.

03:41:43.000 Thank you very much.

03:41:45.000 Thank you very, very much.

03:41:47.000 Wow.

03:41:50.000 And thank you, Dana.

03:41:54.000 Thank you, Kid Rock, sometimes referred to as Bob.

03:42:00.000 And thank you, Lee, right from the beginning.

03:42:02.000 Thank you very much.

03:42:03.000 What a talent.

03:42:04.000 What a beautiful, beautiful song.

03:42:05.000 Thank you.

03:42:10.000 Friends, delegates, and fellow citizens, I stand before you this evening with a message of confidence, strength, and hope.

03:42:21.000 Four months from now, we will have an incredible victory.

03:42:25.000 And we will begin the four greatest years in the history of our country.

03:42:36.000 Together, we will launch a new era of safety, prosperity, and freedom for citizens of every race, religion, color, and creed.

03:42:46.000 The discord and division in our society must be healed.

03:42:50.000 We must heal it quickly.

03:42:52.000 As Americans, we are bound together by a single fate and a shared destiny.

03:42:58.000 We rise together or we fall apart.

03:43:03.000 I am running to be president for all of America, not half of America, because there is no victory in winning for half of America.

03:43:17.000 So tonight, with faith and devotion, I proudly accept your nomination for President of the United States.

03:43:27.000 Thank you.

03:43:49.000 Thank you very much.

03:44:05.000 Thank you very much.

03:44:09.000 And we will do it right.

03:44:11.000 We're going to do it right.

03:44:13.000 Let me begin this evening by expressing my gratitude to the American people

03:44:19.000 for your outpouring of love and support following the assassination attempt at my rally on Saturday.

03:44:26.000 As you already know, the assassin's bullet came within a quarter of an inch of taking my life.

03:44:41.000 So many people have asked me, what happened?

03:44:44.000 Tell us what happened, please.

03:44:47.000 And therefore, I will tell you exactly what happened, and you'll never hear it from me a second time because it's actually too painful to tell.

03:44:59.000 It was a warm, beautiful day in the early evening in Butler Township in the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

03:45:13.000 Music was loudly playing.

03:45:16.000 And the campaign was doing really well.

03:45:19.000 I went to the stage, and the crowd was cheering wildly.

03:45:23.000 Everybody was happy.

03:45:26.000 I began speaking very strongly, powerfully, and happily.

03:45:33.000 Because I was discussing the great job my administration did on immigration at the southern border.

03:45:41.000 We were very proud of it.

03:45:48.000 Behind me and to the right was a large screen that was displaying a chart of border crossings under my leadership.

03:46:00.000 The numbers were absolutely amazing.

03:46:04.000 In order to see the chart, I started to, like this, turn to my right and was ready to begin

03:46:18.000 A little bit further turn, which I'm very lucky I didn't do, when I heard a loud whizzing sound and felt something hit me really, really hard on my right ear.

03:46:35.000 I said to myself, wow, what was that?

03:46:40.000 It can only be a bullet.

03:46:43.000 and moved my right hand to my ear, brought it down.

03:46:47.000 My hand was covered with blood, just absolutely blood all over the place.

03:46:54.000 I immediately knew it was very serious, that we were under attack.

03:47:00.000 And in one movement, proceeded to drop to the ground.

03:47:05.000 Bullets were continuing to fly.

03:47:09.000 As very brave Secret Service agents rushed to the stage, and they really did.

03:47:14.000 They rushed to the stage.

03:47:26.000 These are great people at great risk, I will tell you.

03:47:30.000 And pounced on top of me so that I would be protected.

03:47:36.000 There was blood pouring everywhere and yet, in a certain way, I felt very safe because I had God on my side.

03:47:45.000 I felt that.

03:48:01.000 The amazing thing is that prior to the shot,

03:48:04.000 If I had not moved my head at that very last instant, the assassin's bullet would have perfectly hit its mark, and I would not be here tonight.

03:48:17.000 We would not be together.

03:48:20.000 The most incredible aspect of what took place on that terrible evening in the fading sun was actually seen later.

03:48:30.000 In almost all cases, as you probably know,

03:48:34.000 And when even a single bullet is fired, just a single bullet, and we had many bullets that were being fired, crowds run for the exits or stampede, but not in this case.

03:48:47.000 It's very unusual.

03:48:55.000 This massive crowd of tens of thousands of people stood by and didn't move an inch.

03:49:02.000 In fact, many of them bravely but automatically stood up looking for where the sniper would be.

03:49:08.000 They knew immediately it was a sniper.

03:49:11.000 And then began pointing at him.

03:49:13.000 You can see that if you look at the group behind me.

03:49:16.000 That was just a small group compared to what was in front.

03:49:21.000 Nobody ran, and by not stampeding, many lives were saved.

03:49:26.000 But that isn't the reason.

03:49:32.000 that they didn't move.

03:49:33.000 The reason is that they knew I was in very serious trouble.

03:49:37.000 They saw it.

03:49:38.000 They saw me go down.

03:49:39.000 They saw the blood and thought — actually, most did — that I was dead.

03:49:48.000 They knew it was a shot to the head.

03:49:49.000 They saw the blood.

03:49:51.000 And there's an interesting statistic.

03:49:53.000 The ears are the bloodiest part.

03:49:56.000 If something happens with the ears, they bleed more than any other part of the body.

03:50:01.000 For whatever reason, the doctors told me that.

03:50:03.000 And I said, why is there so much blood?

03:50:05.000 He said, it's the years.

03:50:06.000 They bleed more.

03:50:08.000 So we learned something.

03:50:09.000 But they just — they just — this beautiful crowd, they didn't want to leave me.

03:50:17.000 They knew I was in trouble.

03:50:18.000 They didn't want to leave me.

03:50:19.000 And you can see that love written all over their faces.

03:50:27.000 Incredible people.

03:50:29.000 They're incredible people.

03:50:31.000 Bullets were flying over us, yet I felt serene.

03:50:36.000 But now the Secret Service agents were putting themselves in peril.

03:50:40.000 They were in very dangerous territory.

03:50:43.000 Bullets were flying right over them, missing them by a very small amount of inches.

03:50:49.000 And then it all stopped.

03:50:52.000 Our Secret Service sniper

03:50:55.000 From a much greater distance, and with only one bullet used, took the assassin's life.

03:51:05.000 Took him out.

03:51:13.000 I'm not supposed to be here tonight.

03:51:15.000 Not supposed to be here.

03:51:36.000 Thank you.

03:51:39.000 But I'm not.

03:51:41.000 And I'll tell you, I stand before you in this arena only by the grace of Almighty God.

03:52:00.000 In watching the reports over the last few days, many people say it was a providential moment.

03:52:09.000 Probably was.

03:52:10.000 When I rose, surrounded by Secret Service, the crowd was confused because they thought I was dead.

03:52:17.000 And there was great, great sorrow.

03:52:18.000 I could see that on their faces as I looked out.

03:52:22.000 They didn't know I was looking out.

03:52:24.000 They thought it was over.

03:52:26.000 But I could see it.

03:52:28.000 Wanted to do something to let them know I was okay.

03:52:31.000 I raised my right arm, looked at the thousands and thousands of people that were breathlessly waiting, and started shouting, fight, fight, fight.

03:52:55.000 Once my clenched fist went up, and it was high into the air.

03:53:02.000 You've all seen that.

03:53:04.000 The crowd realized I was okay and roared with pride for our country like no crowd I have ever heard before.

03:53:13.000 Never heard anything like it.

03:53:22.000 For the rest of my life, I will be grateful for the love shown by that giant audience of patriots that stood bravely on that fateful evening in Pennsylvania.

03:53:35.000 Tragically, the shooter claimed the life of one of our fellow Americans, Cory.

03:53:42.000 Compare it to our unbelievable person, everybody tells me.

03:53:50.000 Unbelievable.

03:53:53.000 And seriously wounded.

03:53:55.000 Two other great warriors.

03:53:58.000 Spoke to them today.

03:54:00.000 David Dutch and James Copenhaver.

03:54:04.000 Two great people.

03:54:08.000 I also spoke to all three families of these tremendous people.

03:54:13.000 Our love and prayers are with them and always will be.

03:54:17.000 We're never going to forget them.

03:54:19.000 They came for a great rally.

03:54:21.000 They were serious Trumpsters, I want to tell you.

03:54:23.000 They were serious Trumpsters and still are.

03:54:26.000 But Cory, unfortunately, we have to use the past tense.

03:54:29.000 He was incredible.

03:54:31.000 He was a highly respected former fire chief, respected by everybody, was accompanied by his

03:54:38.000 Wife Helen, incredible woman, I spoke to her today, devastated.

03:54:42.000 And two precious daughters.

03:54:45.000 He lost his life selflessly, acting as a human shield to protect them from flying bullets.

03:54:51.000 He went right over the top of them and was hit.

03:54:54.000 What a fine man he was.

03:55:44.000 I want to thank the fire department and the family for sending his helmet, his outfit, and it was just something.

03:55:55.000 And they're going to do something very special when they get it.

03:55:57.000 But we did something which cannot match what happened, not even close.

03:56:02.000 But I am very proud to say that over the past few days, we've raised $6.3 million.

03:56:15.000 For the families of David, James, and Corey, including from a friend of mine just called up.

03:56:23.000 He sent me a check right here.

03:56:25.000 I just got it.

03:56:26.000 One million dollars.

03:56:31.000 From Dan Newland.

03:56:32.000 Thank you, Dan.

03:56:36.000 And again, when speaking to the family, I told them, I said, well,

03:56:41.000 I'm going to be sending you a lot of money, but it can't compensate.

03:56:44.000 They all said the same thing.

03:56:45.000 You're right, sir.

03:56:46.000 We appreciate so much what you're doing, but nothing can take the place in the case of Corey and the other two.

03:56:53.000 By the way, they were very, very seriously injured, but now they're doing very well.

03:56:57.000 They're going to be okay.

03:57:00.000 They're going to be doing very well.

03:57:06.000 They're warriors.

03:57:10.000 I ask that we observe a moment of silence in honor of our friend, Cory.

03:57:34.000 There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for others.

03:57:39.000 This is the spirit that forged America in her darkest hours, and this is the love that will lead America back to the summit of human achievement and greatness.

03:57:50.000 This is what we need.

03:57:52.000 Despite such a heinous attack, we unite this evening more determined than ever.

03:57:59.000 I am more determined than ever, and so are you.

03:58:01.000 So is everybody in this room.

03:58:13.000 Thank you very much.

03:58:13.000 Thank you.

03:58:28.000 Our resolve is unbroken and our purpose is unchanged to deliver a government that serves the American people better than ever before.

03:58:37.000 Nothing will stop me in this mission because our vision is righteous and our cause is pure.

03:58:44.000 No matter what obstacle comes our way, we will not break.

03:58:48.000 We will not bend.

03:58:49.000 We will not back down.

03:58:51.000 And I will never stop fighting for you, your family, and our magnificent country.

03:58:56.000 Never.

03:59:06.000 And everything I have to give with all of the energy and fight in my heart and soul, I pledge to our nation tonight.

03:59:14.000 Thank you very much.

03:59:15.000 I pledge that to our nation.

03:59:17.000 I'm going to turn our nation around, and we're going to do it very quickly.

03:59:21.000 Thank you.

03:59:29.000 This election should be about the issues facing our country and how to make America successful, safe, free, and great again.

03:59:44.000 In an age when our politics too often divide us, now is the time to remember that we are all fellow citizens.

03:59:52.000 We are one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

04:00:08.000 And we must not criminalize dissent or demonize political disagreement, which is what's been happening in our country lately at a level that nobody has ever seen before.

04:00:20.000 In that spirit, the Democrat Party should immediately stop weaponizing the justice system and labeling their political opponent as an enemy of democracy.

04:00:35.000 Especially since that is not true.

04:00:38.000 In fact, I am the one saving democracy for the people of our country.

04:00:42.000 And very big news, as you probably just read.

04:00:56.000 On Monday, a major ruling was handed down from a highly respected federal judge in Florida, Eileen Cannon, finding that the prosecutor and the fake documents case against me were totally unconstitutional, and the entire case was thrown out of court.

04:01:18.000 With all of that publicity thrown out of court.

04:01:25.000 If Democrats want to unify our country, they should drop these partisan witch hunts, which I have been going through for approximately eight years.

04:01:36.000 And they should do that without delay and allow an election to proceed that is worthy of our people.

04:01:41.000 We're going to win it anyway, but worthy of our people.

04:01:48.000 On this journey, I am deeply honored to be joined by my amazing wife, Melania.

04:02:17.000 And Melania, thank you very much.

04:02:19.000 You also did something really beautiful, a letter to America calling for national unity.

04:02:26.000 And it really took the Republican Party by surprise, I will tell you.

04:02:30.000 It was beautiful.

04:02:40.000 In fact, some very serious people said that we should take that letter and put it as part of the Republican platform.

04:02:48.000 That would be an honor, wouldn't it?

04:02:51.000 Right?

04:02:51.000 Mr. Congressman?

04:02:55.000 But it captivated so many, so I also want to thank my entire family for being here.

04:03:01.000 Don, Kimberly, Ivanka and Jared, Eric and Lara, Tiffany and Michael,

04:03:08.000 Baron.

04:03:09.000 We love our Baron.

04:03:17.000 And, of course, my 10 wonderful grandchildren.

04:03:21.000 You saw a few of them up there on my lap before.

04:03:33.000 And how good was Dana?

04:03:35.000 Was Dana good?

04:03:35.000 I mean, was he good?

04:03:39.000 You know, he was on probably the only vacation he's had in about — maybe ever, because he works — but about 10 years with his wife, very far away.

04:03:50.000 I won't tell you where, but very, very far away.

04:03:52.000 Beautiful place.

04:03:54.000 And my people called, and he said, yeah, I won't be able to do it.

04:03:57.000 This is many, many years.

04:03:58.000 I promised my wife I can't do it.

04:04:01.000 And they came in, and they said, Dana won't be able to do it, because he was my first, second, and third choice.

04:04:08.000 I said, well, you know, that's too bad, but I understand.

04:04:11.000 He's away, and it's good.

04:04:13.000 It's good for him.

04:04:14.000 And that was it.

04:04:15.000 About 30 minutes later, she came back in.

04:04:18.000 Sir, Dana just called.

04:04:20.000 He's going to do it.

04:04:22.000 And his wife, she said, you can't turn him down.

04:04:25.000 You just can't do it.

04:04:26.000 You have to go.

04:04:27.000 That's a good wife.

04:04:37.000 So he got on a plane.

04:04:38.000 He got here a little while ago.

04:04:40.000 Now he's going to get on the plane in a little while, and he's going to go back home to his wife.

04:04:45.000 But they're great, and I just want to thank her and him and their whole family, because that's not easy.

04:04:50.000 And Kid Rock, same thing.

04:04:52.000 Called, he said.

04:04:55.000 He said, I want to be a part of it.

04:04:58.000 I want to be a part, because, you know, Kid does his great song, big, big monster song.

04:05:03.000 I had no idea.

04:05:04.000 You know, he became a friend of mine over the last 10 years.

04:05:07.000 And he's amazing.

04:05:09.000 Everyone loves him.

04:05:10.000 I didn't even know how big he was.

04:05:11.000 You know, he has rallies.

04:05:14.000 35,000, 40,000 people he gets every time he goes out.

04:05:17.000 I think he's making so much money, he doesn't know what the hell to do with it, if you want to know.

04:05:25.000 And then we have my other friend, and I've known him so long, and we took that song, and it was a big success, but we made that.

04:05:32.000 I saw a chart of great songs to America.

04:05:35.000 That was number one on the chart recently.

04:05:37.000 Number one.

04:05:38.000 So, that's Lee Greenwood.

04:05:41.000 Very special, beautiful person.

04:05:44.000 He's a beautiful man.

04:05:49.000 But they all wanted to be here, they called.

04:05:51.000 And how about the Hulkster?

04:05:53.000 How good was he?

04:05:55.000 Where is he?

04:05:58.000 Boy, oh boy.

04:06:09.000 You know, they may call it, they may call that entertainment.

04:06:13.000 I know about entertainment, but when he used to lift a 350-pound man over his shoulders and then bench press him two rows into the audience,

04:06:23.000 I say, maybe entertainment, but he is one strong son of a gun, I will tell you.

04:06:27.000 I watched it many times.

04:06:29.000 There aren't a lot of entertainers that can do that, right?

04:06:33.000 You were fantastic.

04:06:35.000 Thank you very much.

04:06:37.000 Followed by Eric.

04:06:40.000 What was that all about?

04:06:41.000 Boy, that was good.

04:06:42.000 I didn't want to really come up here.

04:06:46.000 But he was so great, and he's such a good young man.

04:06:49.000 He went through a lot of trouble.

04:06:51.000 And Don, last night, was incredible.

04:06:53.000 He went through so much trouble.

04:06:54.000 They got subpoenaed more than any people, probably, in the history of the United States.

04:06:59.000 Every week, they get another subpoena from the Democrats.

04:07:03.000 Crazy Nancy Pelosi, the whole thing, just boom, boom, boom.

04:07:11.000 They've got to stop that because they're destroying our country.

04:07:15.000 We have to work on making America great again, not on beating people.

04:07:21.000 And we won.

04:07:21.000 We beat them in all.

04:07:22.000 We beat them on the impeachments.

04:07:24.000 We beat them on indictments.

04:07:25.000 We beat them.

04:07:26.000 But the time that you have to spend, the time that you have to spend, if they would devote that genius to helping our country, we'd have a much stronger and better country.

04:07:49.000 And Jason, the biggest star in country music.

04:07:53.000 Jason, thank you for being here.

04:07:57.000 Jason, thank you very much.

04:08:00.000 Jason Aldean.

04:08:01.000 He's good.

04:08:02.000 I like his wife even better, by the way.

04:08:05.000 She's here.

04:08:06.000 Thank you, Jason.

04:08:09.000 But I'm thrilled to have a new friend and partner fighting by my side.

04:08:14.000 The next Vice President of the United States, the current Senator from Ohio, J.D.

04:08:20.000 Vance, and his incredible wife, Usha.

04:08:39.000 It's going to be a great

04:08:41.000 Vice President, he's going to be great.

04:08:43.000 He'll be with this country and with his movement.

04:08:46.000 Greatest movement in the history of our country.

04:08:48.000 Make America Great Again.

04:08:50.000 When they criticized it, they said, we're going to try and stop MAGA.

04:08:53.000 I said, MAGA is Make America Great Again.

04:08:56.000 There's nothing to stop.

04:08:56.000 What are you going to stop?

04:08:59.000 Then they say, oh, that's right.

04:09:00.000 It's very tough to fight it.

04:09:04.000 And all of the people that did try and fight it have failed.

04:09:07.000 But he's going to be with us for a long time, and it was an honor to select him.

04:09:11.000 Great, great student at Yale.

04:09:13.000 His wife was a great student at Yale.

04:09:15.000 They met at Yale.

04:09:16.000 These are two smart people.

04:09:20.000 So, J.D., you're going to be doing this for a long time.

04:09:23.000 Enjoy the ride.

04:09:33.000 And a very special thank you to the extraordinary people of Milwaukee and the great state of... Oh, there they are.

04:09:45.000 There they are.

04:09:46.000 You are so easy to spot.

04:09:51.000 And Green Bay is going to have a good team this year, right?

04:09:53.000 They're going to have a good team.

04:09:56.000 They're going to have a good team.

04:09:58.000 Most of the audience doesn't like it, but it's true.

04:10:01.000 You're going to have a very good team this year.

04:10:04.000 And by the way, Wisconsin, we are spending over $250 million here creating jobs and other economic development all over the place.

04:10:16.000 So I hope you will remember this in November and give us your vote.

04:10:21.000 I am trying to buy your vote.

04:10:24.000 I'll be honest about that.

04:10:33.000 And I promise we will make Wisconsin great again.

04:10:37.000 We're going to make it.

04:10:41.000 Thank you, Mr. Governor.

04:10:42.000 Thank you very much.

04:10:44.000 Thank you.

04:10:45.000 I'm here tonight to lay out a vision for the whole nation.

04:10:49.000 To every citizen, whether you're a young or old man or woman, Democrat, Republican or Independent, Black or White, Asian or Hispanic, I extend to you a hand of loyalty and of friendship.

04:11:04.000 Together, we will lead America to new heights of greatness like the world has never seen before.

04:11:10.000 We were right there in the first term.

04:11:13.000 We got hit with COVID.

04:11:14.000 We did a great job.

04:11:15.000 Nobody knew what it was, but nobody's ever seen an economy pre-COVID.

04:11:19.000 And then we handed over a stock market that was substantially higher than just prior to COVID coming in.

04:11:26.000 Did a great job.

04:11:27.000 Never got credit for that.

04:11:28.000 We got credit for

04:11:30.000 The war and defeating ISIS and so many things, the great economy, the biggest tax cuts ever, the biggest regulation cuts ever, the creation of Space Force, the rebuilding of our military.

04:11:42.000 We did so much.

04:11:44.000 We did so much.

04:11:45.000 Right to try.

04:11:46.000 Right to try is a big deal.

04:11:49.000 We got right to try.

04:11:50.000 They were trying to get that for 52 years.

04:11:54.000 Somebody is terminally ill.

04:11:57.000 And hopefully there's nobody in this audience, but it does happen a lot.

04:12:01.000 They're terminally ill and they can't use our new space-age drugs and other things.

04:12:06.000 We are way ahead.

04:12:06.000 We have the greatest doctors in the world, the greatest.

04:12:09.000 Laboratories in the world, and you can't do it.

04:12:11.000 They've been trying to get that approved for 52 years.

04:12:14.000 It wasn't that easy.

04:12:15.000 The insurance companies didn't want to do it.

04:12:17.000 They didn't want the risk.

04:12:18.000 The labs didn't want to do it because if it didn't work, people are pretty far down the line toward death.

04:12:23.000 They didn't want to do it.

04:12:24.000 The doctors didn't want to have it on their records, so I got everybody into an office.

04:12:28.000 Fifty-two years they tried.

04:12:29.000 Sounds simple, but it's not.

04:12:31.000 And I got them to agree that somebody that needs it will, instead of going to Asia or Europe or someplace, or if you have no money going home and dying, just die.

04:12:42.000 We got them to sign an agreement, agree to it, where they're not going to sue anybody.

04:12:47.000 They're going to get all of this stuff.

04:12:48.000 They're going to get it really fast.

04:12:49.000 And what's happened is we're saving thousands and thousands of lives.

04:12:54.000 It's incredible.

04:12:55.000 Right to try.

04:12:56.000 It's a great feeling.

04:13:02.000 Under our leadership, the United States will be respected again.

04:13:06.000 No nation will question our power.

04:13:08.000 No enemy will doubt our might.

04:13:10.000 Our borders will be totally secure.

04:13:13.000 Our economy will soar.

04:13:15.000 We will return law and order to our streets, patriotism to our schools, and importantly, we will restore peace, stability, and harmony all throughout the world.

04:13:27.000 But to achieve this future, we must first rescue our nation from failed and even incompetent leadership.

04:13:37.000 We have totally incompetent leadership.

04:13:40.000 This will be the most important election in the history of our country.

04:13:44.000 Under the current administration, we are indeed a nation in decline.

04:13:51.000 We have an inflation crisis that is making life unaffordable, ravaging the incomes of working and low-income families, and crushing, just simply crushing our people like never before.

04:14:03.000 They've never seen anything like it.

04:14:05.000 We also have an illegal immigration crisis, and it's taking place right now as we sit here in this beautiful arena.

04:14:15.000 It's a massive invasion at our southern border that has spread misery, crime, poverty, disease, and destruction to communities all across our land.

04:14:25.000 Nobody has ever seen anything like it.

04:14:28.000 Then there's an international crisis, the likes of which

04:14:32.000 The world has seldom been part of.

04:14:35.000 Nobody can believe what's happening.

04:14:37.000 War is now raging in Europe and the Middle East.

04:14:40.000 A growing specter of conflict hangs over Taiwan, Korea, the Philippines, and all of Asia.

04:14:47.000 And our planet is teetering on the edge of World War III.

04:14:51.000 And this will be a war like no other war because of weaponry.

04:14:54.000 The weapons are no longer army tanks going back and forth, shooting at each other.

04:15:00.000 These weapons are obliteration.

04:15:04.000 It's time for a change.

04:15:06.000 This administration can't come close to solving the problems.

04:15:10.000 We're dealing with very tough, very fierce people.

04:15:15.000 They're fierce people.

04:15:18.000 And we don't have fierce people.

04:15:20.000 We have people that are a lot less than fierce, except when it comes to cheating on elections and a couple of other things.

04:15:26.000 Then they're fierce.

04:15:29.000 Then they're fierce.

04:15:33.000 So tonight, I make this pledge to the

04:15:37.000 Great people of America, I will end the devastating inflation crisis immediately, bring down interest rates, and lower the cost of energy.

04:15:46.000 We will drill, baby, drill.

04:16:13.000 Can you believe what they're doing?

04:16:16.000 But by doing that, we will lead a large-scale decline in prices.

04:16:21.000 Prices will start to come down.

04:16:23.000 Energy raised it.

04:16:25.000 They took our energy policies and destroyed them.

04:16:27.000 Then they immediately went back to them.

04:16:29.000 But by that time,

04:16:30.000 So much was lost.

04:16:32.000 But we will do it at levels that nobody has ever seen before.

04:16:35.000 And we'll end lots of different things.

04:16:38.000 We'll start paying off debt and start lowering taxes even further.

04:16:41.000 We gave you the largest tax cut.

04:16:44.000 We'll do it more.

04:16:45.000 You know, people don't realize I brought taxes way down, way, way down, and yet we took in more revenues the following year than we did when the tax rate was much higher.

04:16:56.000 Most people said, how did you do that?

04:16:58.000 Because it was incentive.

04:17:00.000 Everybody was coming to the country.

04:17:02.000 They were bringing back billions and billions of dollars into our country.

04:17:06.000 The companies made it impossible to bring it back.

04:17:09.000 The tax rate was too high.

04:17:11.000 And the legal complications were far too great.

04:17:15.000 I changed both of them, and hundreds of billions of dollars by Apple and so many other companies were brought back into our nation.

04:17:23.000 And we had an economy the likes of which nobody, no nation had ever seen.

04:17:29.000 China, we were beating them at levels that were incredible.

04:17:35.000 And they know it.

04:17:36.000 They know it.

04:17:37.000 We'll do it again, but we'll do it even better.

04:17:40.000 I will end the illegal immigration crisis by closing our border and finishing the wall, most of which I've already built.

04:17:57.000 On the wall, we were dealing with a very difficult Congress.

04:18:00.000 And I said, oh, that's OK.

04:18:02.000 We won't go to Congress.

04:18:03.000 I call it an invasion.

04:18:05.000 We gave our military almost $800 billion.

04:18:10.000 I said, I'm going to take a little of that money, because this is an invasion.

04:18:13.000 And we built most of the wall.

04:18:14.000 It was already built.

04:18:16.000 And we built it through using the funds, because what's better than that?

04:18:20.000 We have to stop the invasion into our country that's killing hundreds of thousands of people a year.

04:18:30.000 We're not going to let that happen.

04:18:35.000 I will end every single international crisis that the current administration has created, including the horrible war with Russia and Ukraine, which would have never happened if I was president, and the war caused by the attack on Israel

04:18:53.000 Which would have never happened if I was president.

04:18:55.000 Iran was broke.

04:18:57.000 Iran had no money.

04:18:58.000 Now Iran has $250 billion.

04:19:01.000 They made it all over the last two and a half years.

04:19:04.000 They were broke.

04:19:05.000 I watched the other day on a show called Deface the Nation.

04:19:09.000 Has anyone seen it?

04:19:11.000 And they had a congressman who was a Democrat say, well, whether you like him or not, Iran was broke dealing with Trump.

04:19:17.000 I told China and other countries, if you buy from Iran, we will not let you do any business in this country, and we will put tariffs on every product you do send in of 100% or more.

04:19:32.000 And they said to me, well, I think that's about it.

04:19:34.000 They weren't going to buy any oil.

04:19:36.000 And they were ready to make a deal.

04:19:38.000 Iran was going to make a deal with us.

04:19:39.000 And then we had that horrible, horrible result that we'll never let happen again.

04:19:44.000 The election result, we're never going to let that happen again.

04:19:47.000 They used COVID to cheat.

04:19:50.000 We're never going to let it happen again.

04:19:51.000 And they took off all the sanctions, and they did everything possible for Iran.

04:19:58.000 And now Iran is very close to having a nuclear weapon, which would have never happened.

04:20:03.000 This is a shame what this administration, the damage that this administration has done.

04:20:08.000 And I say it often.

04:20:10.000 If you took the 10 worst presidents in the history of the United States, think of it, the 10 worst, added them up, they will not have done the damage that Biden has done.

04:20:19.000 I'm only going to use the term once.

04:20:22.000 I'm not going to use the name anymore.

04:20:22.000 Biden.

04:20:24.000 Just one time.

04:20:26.000 The damage that he's done to this country is unthinkable.

04:20:29.000 It's unthinkable.

04:20:31.000 Together we will restore vision, strength, competence, and

04:20:36.000 We're going to have a thing called common sense making most of our decisions, actually.

04:20:41.000 It's all common sense.

04:20:46.000 Just a few short years ago, under my presidency, we had the most secure border and best economy in the history of our country, in the history of the world.

04:20:56.000 We had the greatest economy in the history of the world.

04:21:00.000 We had never done anything like it.

04:21:02.000 We were beating every country, including China, by leaps and bounds.

04:21:06.000 Nobody had seen anything like it.

04:21:08.000 We had no inflation.

04:21:09.000 Soaring incomes were going.

04:21:12.000 Nobody can believe it.

04:21:15.000 You can't believe what happened four years ago is happening now in reverse.

04:21:21.000 And the world was at peace.

04:21:23.000 Inflation has been a killer for our country.

04:21:26.000 No matter what you make it, it doesn't matter because inflation is eating you alive.

04:21:29.000 People that were putting away money.

04:21:31.000 They were making great wages, the highest they've ever made, but they were putting away a lot of money.

04:21:36.000 Now they are just being destroyed.

04:21:39.000 They're not putting away anything.

04:21:41.000 They're going into savings accounts.

04:21:41.000 They're barely living.

04:21:44.000 They're taking out their money to live because of inflation.

04:21:46.000 Inflation, remember, it's called a country buster.

04:21:49.000 You can go back to Germany from

04:21:52.000 A hundred years ago, you can go back to any country that suffered great inflation.

04:21:57.000 We've suffered the worst inflation we've ever had.

04:22:00.000 But go back and see what's happened to those countries.

04:22:03.000 We've had the worst inflation we've ever had under this person.

04:22:08.000 But in less than four years, our opponents have turned incredible success into unparalleled tragedy and failure.

04:22:16.000 It's been a tremendous failure.

04:22:18.000 Today, our cities are flooded with illegal aliens.

04:22:22.000 Americans are being squeezed out of the labor force, and their jobs are taken.

04:22:26.000 By the way, you know who's taking the jobs?

04:22:28.000 The jobs that are created?

04:22:32.000 107% of those jobs are taken by illegal aliens.

04:22:36.000 And you know who's being hurt the most by millions of people pouring into our country?

04:22:41.000 The black population and the Hispanic population, because they're taking the jobs from our black population, our Hispanic population, and they're also taking them from unions.

04:22:56.000 The unions are suffering because of it.

04:23:00.000 Thank you.

04:23:01.000 I like you, too.

04:23:01.000 Thank you.

04:23:03.000 Thank you very much.

04:23:06.000 Inflation has wiped out the life savings of our citizens and forced the middle class into a state of depression and despair.

04:23:13.000 That's what it is.

04:23:14.000 It's despair and depression.

04:23:16.000 We cannot and will not let this continue.

04:23:19.000 Less than four years ago, we were a great nation, and we will soon be a great nation again.

04:23:26.000 We're going to be a great nation again.

04:23:36.000 Thank you.

04:23:38.000 With proper leadership, every disaster we are now enduring will be fixed, and it will be fixed very, very quickly.

04:23:45.000 So tonight, whether you've supported me in the past or not, I hope you will support me in the future because I will bring back the American Dream.

04:23:55.000 That's what we're going to do.

04:23:56.000 You don't even hear about the American Dream anymore.

04:24:02.000 With great humility, I am asking you to be excited about the future of our country.

04:24:08.000 Be excited.

04:24:09.000 Be excited.

04:24:20.000 And by the way, the news reports, oh, look at all of those big networks.

04:24:27.000 They're all here.

04:24:27.000 Look at them.

04:24:29.000 But every one of them has said this could be the most organized, best run, and most enthusiastic convention of either party that they have ever seen.

04:24:41.000 Every single one.

04:24:48.000 And it's true.

04:24:50.000 It's true.

04:24:51.000 And there's love in the room.

04:24:52.000 There's great love in the room.

04:25:00.000 So I better finish strong.

04:25:02.000 Otherwise, we'll blow it.

04:25:04.000 And we can't let that happen.

04:25:06.000 No, this was great.

04:25:07.000 All of the great people that spoke, and everybody hit a home run.

04:25:11.000 I mean, there's not one that I can think of where I said, oh, gee, that wasn't great.

04:25:15.000 Every single person.

04:25:17.000 I refuse to be the only one.

04:25:19.000 Don't do that to me.

04:25:20.000 They're already getting ready.

04:25:22.000 See, I gave him an idea.

04:25:25.000 No, we had a — this was a great convention.

04:25:27.000 This was — I think we're actually going to go home and miss it.

04:25:30.000 You know, usually with a — first of all, look at these crowds.

04:25:32.000 You'd never have this at a convention.

04:25:34.000 Look at these crowds.

04:25:44.000 Love.

04:25:45.000 It's about love.

04:25:46.000 This week, the entire Republican Party has formally adopted an agenda for America's renewal.

04:25:52.000 And you saw that agenda.

04:25:54.000 And it's very short compared to the long, boring, meaningless agendas of the past, including the Democrats.

04:26:03.000 They write these things that are hundreds of pages long, and they never read them after they're done.

04:26:09.000 In their case, fortunately, they don't read them because they're pretty bad.

04:26:14.000 It's a series of bold promises that we will swiftly implement when you give us a Republican House.

04:26:21.000 And, Mr. Speaker, thank you very much.

04:26:25.000 We have our great Speaker of the House with us tonight, Mr. Speaker.

04:26:30.000 Thank you very much.

04:26:33.000 Thank you.

04:26:36.000 A Republican Senate.

04:26:37.000 We have many senators here.

04:26:40.000 And send me back to our beautiful White House just a few short months from now.

04:26:45.000 We're talking about just months.

04:26:48.000 It can't come fast enough.

04:26:51.000 We have to get it done.

04:26:53.000 First, we must get economic relief to our citizens.

04:26:57.000 Starting on day one, we will drive down prices and make America affordable again.

04:27:02.000 We have to make it affordable.

04:27:03.000 It's not affordable.

04:27:05.000 People can't live like this.

04:27:07.000 Under this administration,

04:27:10.000 Our current administration, groceries are up 57 percent.

04:27:14.000 Gasoline is up 60 and 70 percent.

04:27:17.000 Mortgage rates have quadrupled.

04:27:20.000 And the fact is, it doesn't matter what they are because you can't get the money anywhere.

04:27:24.000 You can't buy houses.

04:27:25.000 Young people can't get any financing to buy a house.

04:27:27.000 The total household costs have increased an average of $28,000 per family under this administration.

04:27:36.000 Republicans have a plan to bring down prices and bring them down very, very rapidly by slashing energy costs.

04:27:44.000 We will, in turn, reduce the cost of transportation, manufacturing, and all household goods.

04:27:50.000 So much starts with energy.

04:27:54.000 And remember, we have more liquid gold under our feet than any other country by far.

04:27:58.000 We are a nation that has the opportunity to make an absolute fortune with its energy.

04:28:07.000 We have it, and China does it.

04:28:10.000 Under the Trump administration, just three and a half years ago, we were energy independent.

04:28:17.000 But soon, we will actually be better than that.

04:28:20.000 We will be energy dominant and supply not only ourselves, but we will supply the rest of the world.

04:28:30.000 With numbers that nobody has ever seen, and we will reduce our debt, $36 trillion.

04:28:36.000 We will start reducing that, and we will also reduce your taxes still further.

04:28:42.000 Next.

04:28:43.000 And by the way, they want to raise your taxes.

04:28:46.000 Four times.

04:28:47.000 Think of it.

04:28:48.000 In all my life, I grew up watching politicians.

04:28:50.000 I always loved politics, I guess.

04:28:52.000 I was on the other side.

04:28:53.000 And they were always talking about, we will give you a tax cut.

04:28:57.000 We will give you a tax cut.

04:28:58.000 My whole life, I was watching, I will give you a tax cut.

04:29:01.000 Right, Mr. Congressman?

04:29:02.000 That's all they talked about.

04:29:04.000 This is the only administration that said, we're going to raise your taxes by four times what you're paying now.

04:29:09.000 And people are supposed to vote for them?

04:29:11.000 I've never heard it.

04:29:13.000 You're paying too much.

04:29:15.000 We're going to reduce your taxes still further.

04:29:18.000 We gave you the biggest one, as I said.

04:29:20.000 We're going to give you more, and it's going to lead to tremendous growth.

04:29:24.000 We want growth in our country.

04:29:26.000 That's what's going to pay off our debt.

04:29:33.000 And next, we will end the ridiculous and actually incredible waste of taxpayer dollars that is fueling the inflation crisis.

04:29:40.000 They spent trillions of dollars on things having to do with the Green New Scam.

04:29:45.000 It's a scam.

04:29:47.000 And that's caused tremendous inflationary pressures in addition to the cost of energy.

04:29:53.000 And all of the trillions of dollars that are sitting there not yet spent, we will redirect that money for important projects like roads, bridges, dams, and we will not allow it to be spent on meaningless, green, new scam ideas.

04:30:17.000 And I will end the electric vehicle mandate on day one.

04:30:27.000 Thereby saving the U.S.

04:30:29.000 auto industry from complete obliteration, which is happening right now, and saving U.S.

04:30:35.000 customers thousands and thousands of dollars per car.

04:30:42.000 And right now, as we speak, large factories, just started, are being built across the border in Mexico.

04:30:50.000 So, with all the other things happening on our border,

04:30:53.000 And they're being built by China to make cars and to sell them into our country.

04:30:57.000 No tax, no anything.

04:31:00.000 The United Autoworkers ought to be ashamed for allowing this to happen.

04:31:05.000 And the leader of the United Autoworkers should be fired immediately.

04:31:09.000 And every single autoworker, union and non-union, should be voting for Donald Trump because we're going to bring back car manufacturing and we're going to bring it back fast.

04:31:25.000 They're building some of the largest auto plants anywhere in the world.

04:31:29.000 Think of it.

04:31:30.000 In the world.

04:31:30.000 And we're going to bring it back.

04:31:31.000 We're going to make them.

04:31:33.000 We don't mind that happening, but those plants are going to be built in the United States, and our people are going to man those plants.

04:31:46.000 And if they don't agree with us, we'll put a tariff of approximately 100 to 200 percent on each car, and they will be unsellable in the United States.

04:31:58.000 We have long been taken advantage of by other countries.

04:32:03.000 And think of it.

04:32:03.000 Oftentimes, these other countries are considered so-called allies.

04:32:07.000 They've taken advantage of us for years.

04:32:09.000 We lose jobs, we lose revenue, and they gain everything and wipe out our businesses, wipe out our people.

04:32:16.000 I stopped it.

04:32:16.000 For four years, I stopped it.

04:32:19.000 And we're really ready to make changes like nobody had seen before.

04:32:23.000 And remember,

04:32:24.000 A USMCA.

04:32:25.000 I got rid of NAFTA, the worst trade deal ever made, and replaced it with USMCA, which is, they say, the best trade deal ever made.

04:32:35.000 Actually, probably the best trade deal was the deal I made with China, where they buy $50 billion worth of our product.

04:32:41.000 They were buying nothing.

04:32:42.000 They buy $50 billion worth.

04:32:44.000 They had to.

04:32:46.000 But I don't even talk about it because of COVID.

04:32:48.000 I don't even mention it, frankly, because of what happened with the China virus.

04:33:00.000 We will not let countries come in, take our jobs, and plunder our nation.

04:33:07.000 They come and do that.

04:33:08.000 They plunder our nation.

04:33:10.000 The way they will sell their product in America is to build it in America.

04:33:16.000 Very simple.

04:33:17.000 Build it in America, and only in America.

04:33:37.000 And this very simple formula, and Congress has to go along with us, and they will.

04:33:42.000 This very simple formula will create massive numbers of jobs.

04:33:46.000 We will take over the auto industry again, and many, many hundreds of thousands of jobs.

04:33:52.000 We lost so many jobs over the years.

04:33:54.000 If you go back 20, 25 years, they've stolen going to China and Mexico about 68 percent of our auto industry manufacturing jobs.

04:34:03.000 We're going to get them all back.

04:34:04.000 We're going to get them all back, every one of them.

04:34:09.000 At the center of our plan for economic relief are massive tax cuts for workers that include something else that's turned out to be very popular, actually.

04:34:21.000 Here it's very popular, in this building and all those hotels that I saw that are so nice.

04:34:26.000 I'm staying in a nice one.

04:34:28.000 It's called no tax on tips.

04:34:31.000 No tax on tips.

04:34:34.000 No tax on tips.

04:34:47.000 Oh gosh.

04:34:49.000 Hello.

04:34:49.000 I'll see you there very soon, everybody.

04:35:02.000 We're having dinner at a beautiful restaurant.

04:35:04.000 What's wrong with the audio?

04:35:06.000 We're having an issue?

04:35:07.000 And it's a great building, and the waitress comes over.

04:35:09.000 How's everything going?

04:35:11.000 Really nice person.

04:35:12.000 How's everything?

04:35:13.000 Oh, sir, it's so tough.

04:35:14.000 The government's after me all the time on tips, tips, tips.

04:35:18.000 I said, well, they give you cash.

04:35:20.000 Would they be able to find him?

04:35:21.000 She said, actually, I didn't know this.

04:35:22.000 She said, very little cash is given.

04:35:24.000 It's all put right on the check.

04:35:26.000 And they come in and they take so much of our money.

04:35:28.000 It's just ridiculous.

04:35:29.000 And they don't believe anything we say.

04:35:30.000 And they've just hired, as you know, 88,000 agents to go after him even more.

04:35:41.000 And I said, this shows the level of my — you know, most people go out, they hire consultants, they're paying millions of dollars.

04:35:48.000 But I said to her, let me just ask you a question.

04:35:51.000 Would you be happy if you had no tax on tips?

04:35:53.000 She said, what a great idea.

04:35:55.000 I got my information from a very smart waitress.

04:35:58.000 That's better than spending millions of dollars.

04:36:02.000 And everybody — everybody loves it.

04:36:06.000 Waitresses, and caddies, and drivers, and everybody.

04:36:11.000 It's a large, large group of people that are being really hurt badly.

04:36:15.000 They make money, let them keep their money.

04:36:18.000 I'm going to protect Social Security and Medicare.

04:36:22.000 Democrats are going to destroy Social Security and Medicare because all of these people, by the millions they're coming in, they're going to be on Social Security and Medicare and other things, and you're not able to afford it.

04:36:36.000 They are destroying your Social Security and your Medicare.

04:36:40.000 Under my plan, incomes will skyrocket, inflation will vanish completely, jobs will come roaring back, and the middle class will prosper like never, ever before, and we're going to do it very rapidly.

04:36:59.000 But no hope or dream we have for America can succeed unless we stop the

04:37:05.000 Illegal immigrant invasion, the worst that's ever been seen anywhere in the world.

04:37:10.000 There's never been an invasion like this anywhere.

04:37:13.000 Third world countries would fight with sticks and stones not to let this happen.

04:37:18.000 The invasion at our southern border, we will stop it and we will stop it quickly.

04:37:22.000 You heard Tom Holman yesterday.

04:37:24.000 Tom Holman, put him in charge and just sit back and watch.

04:37:30.000 Brandon Judd.

04:37:32.000 The Border Patrol is incredible.

04:37:34.000 These guys, you know, really their job is a lot easier if they don't have to do anything, but they want to.

04:37:39.000 They're patriots.

04:37:40.000 Brandon Judd, Border Patrol, ICE.

04:37:43.000 You have to see what ICE does with MS-13.

04:37:43.000 ICE goes out.

04:37:46.000 These are probably the worst gang, and ICE goes in there.

04:37:50.000 And I know a lot of people in these rows here, and they're very tough people, but they don't want to do this job.

04:37:56.000 They'll go into a pack of MS-13 killers.

04:37:59.000 They're the worst — probably the worst gangs in the world.

04:38:02.000 And we have thousands of them.

04:38:04.000 I moved thousands and thousands out in my four years.

04:38:08.000 We moved them out, and it was a pleasure.

04:38:09.000 But ICE would go right into a pack of these killers.

04:38:12.000 And you see fists flying.

04:38:13.000 You see everything flying.

04:38:14.000 And then they take them.

04:38:16.000 They put them in a paddy wagon.

04:38:19.000 They take them back and they get them out of our country.

04:38:21.000 And the other countries weren't accepting them back, and I called up and I said, tell them that we're not giving them economic aid anymore.

04:38:28.000 And the next day I got calls from all of these countries that were terminated.

04:38:33.000 Billions of dollars we spend on economic aid to countries that does us, frankly, no good.

04:38:39.000 And the next day, I was called by everybody.

04:38:41.000 I couldn't take all the calls.

04:38:42.000 Sir, sir, what's the problem?

04:38:43.000 I said, you won't take your killers back that you sent in caravans into America.

04:38:49.000 You won't take them back.

04:38:50.000 Well, sir, if you'd like us to, we would give very serious consideration to doing that.

04:38:56.000 And within 24 hours, they were being taken back.

04:38:59.000 For years and years, when I first came in,

04:39:03.000 They said President Obama tried to get them to go back, and they wouldn't accept him.

04:39:08.000 They put planes on the runway so you couldn't leave the plane.

04:39:10.000 They closed the roads so you couldn't take the buses.

04:39:13.000 It'd all have to turn back.

04:39:14.000 As soon as they said, no more economic aid of any kind to any country that does that, they called back and they said, sir, it would be our great honor to take MS-13.

04:39:23.000 We love them very much.

04:39:29.000 We love them very much, sir.

04:39:30.000 We'll take them back.

04:39:33.000 At the heart of the Republican platform is our pledge to end this border nightmare and fully restore the sacred and sovereign borders of the United States of America.

04:39:42.000 And we're going to do that on day one.

04:39:50.000 That means two things on day one, right?

04:39:53.000 Drill, baby, drill, and close our borders.

04:40:04.000 And by the way, and I think everybody as a Republican, as a patriot in this room, and most Democrats, we want people to come into our country, but they have to come into our country legally.

04:40:19.000 Legally.

04:40:24.000 Less than four years ago, I handed this administration the strongest border in American history.

04:40:31.000 But you can see on the chart that saved my life.

04:40:34.000 That was the chart that saved my life.

04:40:36.000 I said, look at it.

04:40:36.000 I'm so proud of it.

04:40:37.000 I think it's one of the greatest.

04:40:40.000 It was done by the Border Patrol.

04:40:41.000 One of the greatest charts I've ever seen.

04:40:43.000 It showed everything just like that.

04:40:45.000 You know the chart.

04:40:46.000 Oh, there it is.

04:40:47.000 That's pretty good.

04:40:48.000 Wow.

04:40:51.000 Last time I put up that chart, I never really got to look at it.

04:40:57.000 But without that chart,

04:41:00.000 I would not be here today.

04:41:07.000 Never got to look at it.

04:41:20.000 I said, you got to see this chart.

04:41:21.000 I was so proud of it.

04:41:23.000 And by the time I got to there, I never got to see it that day.

04:41:28.000 But I'm seeing it now, and I was very proud.

04:41:30.000 If you look at the arrow on the bottom, that's the lowest level.

04:41:34.000 The one on the bottom, heavy red arrow.

04:41:36.000 That's the lowest level of illegal immigrants ever to come into our country in recorded history.

04:41:41.000 Right there.

04:41:42.000 Right there.

04:41:46.000 And that was my last week in office.

04:41:49.000 And then you see what happened after I left.

04:41:51.000 Look at the rest.

04:41:52.000 And if you go out a little bit further, it's getting to be a little bit old, but I love it anyway, right?

04:41:58.000 But you can go much higher with those numbers.

04:42:00.000 Look what happened right after that.

04:42:03.000 The invasion began.

04:42:04.000 We had the opposite.

04:42:05.000 We stopped the invasion.

04:42:06.000 But the invasion that we stopped was peanuts by comparison to what happened after I left.

04:42:12.000 Look at what happened after I left.

04:42:14.000 They took over our country.

04:42:16.000 We ended all catch-and-release.

04:42:19.000 We shut down asylum fraud.

04:42:21.000 We stopped human trafficking and forged historic agreements to keep illegal aliens on foreign soil.

04:42:28.000 We want them to stay on their soil.

04:42:30.000 Under the Trump administration, if you came in illegally, you were apprehended immediately, and you were deported.

04:42:36.000 You went right back.

04:42:39.000 The current administration terminated every single one of those great Trump policies that I put in place.

04:42:46.000 To seal the border.

04:42:47.000 I wanted to seal the border.

04:42:48.000 Again, come in but come in legally.

04:42:50.000 You know how unfair it is?

04:42:52.000 So many people, hundreds of thousands of people, have been working for years to come into our country.

04:42:58.000 And now they see these people pour into our country at levels that are unprecedented.

04:43:02.000 So unfair.

04:43:04.000 And we're not going to do it.

04:43:05.000 We're not going to stand for it.

04:43:06.000 They suspended

04:43:08.000 Wall construction ended.

04:43:09.000 Remain in Mexico.

04:43:10.000 We had a policy.

04:43:11.000 Remain in Mexico.

04:43:12.000 You think that was easy to get from the Mexican government?

04:43:15.000 But I said, you must give it to us.

04:43:16.000 If you don't give it to us, there will be repercussions.

04:43:19.000 And they gave it to us.

04:43:20.000 But not easy.

04:43:22.000 Canceled our safe third agreements.

04:43:25.000 Demolished Title 42, implemented nationwide catch-and-release.

04:43:29.000 That's catch-and-release where we catch them and release them into our country.

04:43:34.000 I had, we catch them and release them into Mexico.

04:43:37.000 It was a slight difference.

04:43:40.000 And took 93, this is the previous administration, 93 executive actions to throw open our border to the world.

04:43:49.000 The entire world is pouring into our country because of this.

04:43:54.000 Very foolish administration.

04:43:55.000 The greatest invasion in history is taking place right here in our country.

04:44:00.000 They are coming in from every corner of the earth, not just from South America, but from Africa, Asia, the Middle East.

04:44:07.000 They're coming from everywhere.

04:44:08.000 They're coming at levels that we've never seen before.

04:44:11.000 It is an invasion indeed, and this administration does absolutely nothing to stop them.

04:44:19.000 They're coming from prisons.

04:44:20.000 They're coming from jails.

04:44:22.000 They're coming from mental institutions and insane asylums.

04:44:27.000 You know, the press is always on me because I say this.

04:44:31.000 Has anyone seen Silence of the Lambs?

04:44:36.000 The late, great Hannibal Lecter.

04:44:40.000 He'd love to have you for dinner.

04:44:46.000 That's insane asylums.

04:44:48.000 They're emptying out their insane asylums.

04:44:51.000 And terrorists are coming in at numbers that we've never seen before.

04:44:54.000 Bad things are going to happen.

04:44:56.000 Meanwhile, our crime rate is going up while crime statistics all over the world are going down because they're taking their criminals and they're putting them into our country.

04:45:07.000 A certain country, and I happen to like the president of that country very much, but he's been getting great publicity because he's a wonderful

04:45:17.000 Shepherd of the country.

04:45:18.000 He says how well the country is doing because their crime rate is down.

04:45:22.000 And he said he's training all of these rough people.

04:45:25.000 They're rough, rough, rough.

04:45:26.000 He's training them.

04:45:27.000 And I've been reading about this for two years.

04:45:29.000 I think, oh, that's wonderful.

04:45:30.000 Let's take a look at it.

04:45:32.000 But then I realized he's not training them.

04:45:34.000 He's sending all of his criminals, his drug dealers, his people that are in jails, he's sending them all to the United States.

04:45:43.000 And he's different in that he doesn't say that.

04:45:45.000 He's trying to convince everybody what a wonderful job he does in running the country.

04:45:49.000 Well, he doesn't do a wonderful job.

04:45:51.000 And by the way, if I ran one of the countries, many countries, many, many countries from all over, I would be worse than any of them.

04:45:57.000 I would have had the place totally emptied out already.

04:46:06.000 But we become a dumping ground for the rest of the world, which is laughing at us.

04:46:10.000 They think we're stupid.

04:46:12.000 And they can't believe that they're getting away with what they're getting away with, but they're not going to be getting away with it for long.

04:46:19.000 That's what I can tell you.

04:46:27.000 In Venezuela, Caracas, high crime, high crime.

04:46:32.000 Caracas, Venezuela.

04:46:36.000 Really a dangerous place, but not anymore.

04:46:40.000 Because in Venezuela, crime is down 72%.

04:46:43.000 In fact, if they would ever win this election, I hate to even say that, we will have our next Republican convention in Venezuela because it will be safe.

04:46:54.000 Our cities will be so unsafe, we won't be able.

04:46:58.000 We will not be able to have it there in El Salvador.

04:47:01.000 Murders are down by 70%.

04:47:03.000 Why are they down?

04:47:06.000 Now, he would have you convinced that because he's trained murderers to be wonderful people.

04:47:11.000 No.

04:47:12.000 They're down because they're sending their murderers to the United States of America.

04:47:18.000 This is going to be very bad.

04:47:21.000 And bad things are going to happen, and you're seeing it happen all the time.

04:47:26.000 That's why, to keep our families safe, the Republican platform promises to launch the largest deportation operation in the history of our country.

04:47:39.000 Even larger than that of President Dwight D. Eisenhower from many years ago.

04:47:45.000 You know, he was a moderate, but he believed very strongly in borders.

04:47:48.000 He had the largest deportation operation we've ever had.

04:47:52.000 Just recently, I spoke to the grieving mother of Jocelyn Nunn-Gary, a wonderful woman, a precious 12-year-old girl from Houston who

04:48:04.000 Last month, was tied up, assaulted, and strangled to death after walking to the convenience store just a block away from her house.

04:48:12.000 Her body was dumped near the side of the road in a shallow creek found by

04:48:18.000 Some onlookers who couldn't believe what they had witnessed.

04:48:21.000 Charged with Jocelyn's heinous murder are two illegal aliens from Venezuela who came across our border, were in custody, and were then released into the country by this horrible, horrible administration that we have right now.

04:48:37.000 I also met recently with the heartbroken mother and sister of Rachel Moran.

04:48:43.000 Rachel was a 37-year-old mom of five beautiful children who was brutally raped and murdered while out on a run.

04:48:51.000 She wanted to keep herself in good shape.

04:48:52.000 It was very important to her.

04:48:53.000 She was murdered.

04:48:55.000 The monster responsible first killed another woman in El Salvador before he was led into America by the White House.

04:49:02.000 This White House let them in.

04:49:05.000 He then attacked a 9-year-old girl and her mother in a home invasion in Los Angeles before murdering Rachel in Maryland.

04:49:12.000 Traveled all throughout the country, doing tremendous damage.

04:49:16.000 Rachel's mother will never be the same.

04:49:19.000 I spent time with her.

04:49:20.000 She will never be the same.

04:49:22.000 I've also met with the wonderful family of Lakin Riley, the brilliant 22-year-old nursing student.

04:49:30.000 She was so proud of being first in her class,

04:49:34.000 who was out for a jog on the campus of the University of Georgia when she was assaulted, beaten, and horrifically killed.

04:49:43.000 Yet another American life was stolen by a criminal alien set free by this administration.

04:49:49.000 And these were incredible people we're talking about.

04:49:52.000 These were incredible people who died.

04:49:55.000 Tonight, America, this is my vow.

04:49:57.000 I will not let these killers and criminals into our country.

04:50:10.000 I will keep our sons and daughters safe.

04:50:14.000 As we bring security to our streets, we will help bring stability to the world.

04:50:20.000 I was the first president in modern times to start no new wars.

04:50:25.000 You know, we were the toughest, we were the most respected.

04:50:31.000 And you saw this.

04:50:34.000 Hungry, strong country, run by a very powerful, tough leader.

04:50:37.000 He's a tough guy.

04:50:38.000 Press doesn't like him because he's tough.

04:50:41.000 And he came out recently.

04:50:43.000 They were asking him at an interview.

04:50:45.000 The whole world is exploding.

04:50:47.000 What's happening?

04:50:48.000 What's going on?

04:50:50.000 Viktor Orban, Prime Minister of Hungary.

04:50:52.000 Very tough man.

04:50:56.000 He said, I don't want people coming into my country and blowing up our shopping centers and killing people.

04:51:02.000 But they said to him, tell us what's going wrong, what's happening, what is it?

04:51:07.000 He said, there's only one way you're going to solve it.

04:51:09.000 You got to bring President Trump back to the United States because he kept everybody at bay.

04:51:20.000 He used a word I wouldn't use because I can't use that word.

04:51:23.000 Because you'd say it was braggadocious, the press would say.

04:51:27.000 He was a braggart.

04:51:28.000 I'm not a braggart.

04:51:29.000 But Viktor Orban said it.

04:51:31.000 He said Russia was afraid of him.

04:51:33.000 China was afraid of him.

04:51:36.000 Everybody was afraid of him.

04:51:38.000 Nothing was going to happen.

04:51:40.000 The whole world was at peace.

04:51:42.000 And now the world is blowing up around us.

04:51:46.000 All of these things that you read about were not going to happen.

04:51:51.000 Under President Bush, Russia invaded Georgia.

04:51:56.000 Under President Obama, Russia took Crimea.

04:52:01.000 Under the current administration, Russia is after all of Ukraine.

04:52:07.000 Under President Trump, Russia took nothing.

04:52:25.000 We defeated 100% of ISIS in Syria and Iraq.

04:52:30.000 Something that was said to take five years, sir.

04:52:33.000 It'll take five years, sir.

04:52:36.000 We did it in a matter of a couple of months.

04:52:39.000 We have a great military.

04:52:40.000 Our military is not woke.

04:52:41.000 It's just some of the fools on top that are woke.

04:52:52.000 I got along very well.

04:52:54.000 North Korea, Kim Jong-un, I got along very well with him.

04:52:57.000 The press hated when I said that.

04:52:58.000 How could you get along with him?

04:52:59.000 Well, you know, it's nice to get along with somebody who has a lot of nuclear weapons, or otherwise, isn't it?

04:53:07.000 See, in the old days, you'd say, that's a wonderful thing.

04:53:09.000 Now they say, how could you possibly do that?

04:53:12.000 But no, I got along with him, and we stopped the missile launches from North Korea.

04:53:17.000 Now North Korea is acting up again, but when we get back, I get along with him.

04:53:23.000 He'd like to see me back, too.

04:53:25.000 I think he misses me, if you want to know the truth.

04:53:30.000 Our opponents inherited a world at peace and turned it into a planet of war.

04:53:35.000 We're in a planet of war.

04:53:38.000 Look at that attack on Israel.

04:53:39.000 Look at what's happening.

04:53:42.000 With Ukraine, the cities are just bombed out.

04:53:45.000 How can people live like that where buildings, massive buildings, are falling to the ground?

04:53:52.000 It began to unravel with the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, the worst humiliation in the history of our country.

04:53:58.000 We have never had a humiliation like that.

04:54:01.000 Thirteen heroic U.S.

04:54:03.000 service members were tragically and needlessly killed.

04:54:06.000 Forty-five others were horrifically wounded.

04:54:08.000 Nobody ever talks about them.

04:54:10.000 No arms, no legs, face explosions, horrifically, horrifically wounded.

04:54:19.000 And by the way, we have a man in this room who's running for the U.S.

04:54:25.000 Senate from a great state, Nevada, named Sam Brown, who paid the ultimate price.

04:54:36.000 Thank you, Sam.

04:54:38.000 Thank you, Sam.

04:54:41.000 Thank you.

04:54:46.000 He paid the biggest price probably ever paid by anybody that is running for office, and I think he's going to do great.

04:54:55.000 He's running against a person that is not good, not respected, a total lightweight.

04:55:01.000 But Sam, I think, paid — really, we were talking about it with some of the senators that are working so hard for Sam.

04:55:09.000 But he paid the biggest price of any senator ever to run for the Senate.

04:55:14.000 I don't think anybody has ever heard what he did.

04:55:16.000 He was a real hero, a really great person.

04:55:19.000 And he's running, and I hope that everybody gets out and votes for Sam Brown.

04:55:30.000 And we also left behind $85 billion worth of military equipment, along with many American citizens were left behind.

04:55:40.000 Many, many American citizens, emboldened by that disaster, Russia invaded Ukraine.

04:55:46.000 They saw this group of people that were incompetent.

04:55:49.000 We took the soldiers out first.

04:55:50.000 No, no, we're going to take the soldiers out second.

04:55:53.000 If they would have followed my plan, we had a great plan.

04:55:56.000 But the plan only kicked in if they did everything perfectly.

04:55:59.000 And they weren't doing things perfectly, so we said it doesn't matter.

04:56:02.000 Kick in.

04:56:02.000 You know, 18 months in Afghanistan, we didn't have one — they were killing them left and right, snipers.

04:56:10.000 And I spoke to the head of the Taliban.

04:56:14.000 You've heard this story.

04:56:16.000 Abdul — still there, still the head of the Taliban.

04:56:19.000 The press got on me.

04:56:20.000 Why would you speak to him?

04:56:21.000 I said, because that's where the killing is.

04:56:23.000 I don't have to speak to somebody that has nothing to do with it.

04:56:27.000 And I told him, don't ever do that.

04:56:29.000 Don't ever do that again.

04:56:30.000 Don't ever, ever do that again.

04:56:32.000 You're going to stop.

04:56:33.000 Because during the Obama administration, many great people and soldiers, a lot of soldiers, were being killed from long distance.

04:56:42.000 I said, if you keep doing that, you're going to be hit harder than anybody has ever been hit by a country before.

04:56:55.000 And he said, I understand, Your Excellency.

04:56:57.000 He called me Your Excellency.

04:57:00.000 I wonder if he calls the other guy Your Excellency.

04:57:02.000 I doubt it.

04:57:03.000 The other guy gave him everything.

04:57:05.000 I mean, what kind of a deal was that?

04:57:06.000 He walked out, gave him everything.

04:57:08.000 Do you know that, right now, Afghanistan is one of the largest sellers of weapons in the world?

04:57:15.000 They're selling the brand-new, beautiful weapons that we gave them.

04:57:20.000 But think of it.

04:57:22.000 He actually said to me, but why, but why do you?

04:57:25.000 Show me a picture of my home.

04:57:28.000 I said, you'll have to ask your people or one of your wives.

04:57:34.000 But he could figure it out, and for 18 months,

04:57:38.000 We had not one attack on an American soldier by the Taliban.

04:57:43.000 Eighteen.

04:57:53.000 And then we had that horrible day where soldiers were killed.

04:57:56.000 I was not there because of a ridiculous election.

04:57:59.000 But we had that horrible attack.

04:58:02.000 And they also gave up Bagram, one of the biggest bases anywhere in the world — air bases anywhere in the world, the longest runways, the most powerful, hardened, thickened runways.

04:58:12.000 We gave it up.

04:58:13.000 And I liked it, not because of Afghanistan.

04:58:16.000 I liked it because of China.

04:58:17.000 It's one hour away from where China makes their nuclear weapons.

04:58:21.000 And you know who has it now?

04:58:23.000 China has it now.

04:58:25.000 We were keeping that.

04:58:30.000 And now China is likewise circling Taiwan, and Russian warships and nuclear submarines are operating 60 miles off the coast in Cuba.

04:58:39.000 Do you know that?

04:58:40.000 The press refuses to write about it.

04:58:42.000 If that were me running this country and we had nuclear submarines in Cuba,

04:58:48.000 I will tell you that the headlines every day would be, what's wrong with our president?

04:58:52.000 You don't even hear this.

04:58:53.000 You're not hearing about this.

04:58:55.000 Russia has nuclear submarines and warships 60 miles away, Mr. Congressman.

04:59:03.000 From Miami, by the way, happens to be here.

04:59:05.000 Correct?

04:59:08.000 In Cuba.

04:59:10.000 That would not be stood for if it were somebody else.

04:59:13.000 They don't want to mention it, but now maybe they will.

04:59:17.000 And the entire world, I tell you this, we want our hostages back.

04:59:23.000 And they better be back before I assume office, or you will be paying a very big price.

04:59:45.000 With our victory in November, the years of war, weakness, and chaos will be over.

04:59:53.000 I don't have wars.

04:59:55.000 I had no wars other than ISIS, which I defeated, but that was a war that was started.

04:59:59.000 We had no wars.

05:00:00.000 I could stop wars with a telephone call.

05:00:04.000 I could stop wars with just a telephone call.

05:00:08.000 If properly stated, it would never start.

05:00:12.000 We will replenish our military and build an Iron Dome missile defense system to ensure that no enemy can strike our homeland.

05:00:20.000 And this great Iron Dome will be built entirely in the USA.

05:00:26.000 We're going to build it in the USA.

05:00:29.000 And Wisconsin — Wisconsin, just like I gave you that massive ship contract — and you're doing a very nice job, Governor, right?

05:00:42.000 Thank you, Governor.

05:00:44.000 And they're doing a great job.

05:00:45.000 In fact, I had a little design change, and we gave them a tremendous for essentially what we used to call destroyers.

05:00:51.000 These are now the most beautiful.

05:00:53.000 They look like yachts.

05:00:54.000 I said, we have to take the bow, and we have to make it a little nicer and a little point at the top instead of a flat nose.

05:01:01.000 And the people at the shipyard said, this guy sort of knows what he's doing.

05:01:04.000 We have the most beautiful ships, right, Governor?

05:01:07.000 And everybody's sitting over there.

05:01:09.000 And it was a big contract that everybody wanted.

05:01:11.000 I gave it to Wisconsin.

05:01:12.000 But we're going to have a lot of that built right here in the state of Wisconsin and all other states.

05:01:19.000 Israel has an Iron Dome.

05:01:21.000 They have a missile defense system.

05:01:25.000 342 missiles were shot into Israel, and only one got through a little bit.

05:01:29.000 It was badly wounded.

05:01:30.000 It fell to the ground.

05:01:31.000 But most of them are.

05:01:32.000 And Ronald Reagan wanted this many years ago, but we really didn't have the technology many years ago.

05:01:37.000 Remember, they called it Starship, Spaceship.

05:01:40.000 Star Wars.

05:01:40.000 Anything to mock him.

05:01:42.000 But he was a very good president.

05:01:44.000 Very, very good.

05:01:49.000 But now we have unbelievable technology.

05:01:52.000 And why should other countries have this and we don't?

05:01:55.000 No, no.

05:01:55.000 We're going to build an Iron Dome over our country, and we're going to be sure that nothing can come and harm our people.

05:02:02.000 And again, from an economic development standpoint, we're going to make it all right here.

05:02:07.000 No more sending it out to other countries in order to help.

05:02:10.000 It's America first.

05:02:11.000 America first.

05:02:14.000 We will unleash the power of American innovation, and as we do, we will soon be on the verge of finding the cures to cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and many other diseases.

05:02:26.000 We're going to get to the bottom of it.

05:02:30.000 You remember this gentleman that I don't want to mention other than one time I had to, because when you say you're the 10 worst, I had to do it.

05:02:37.000 I didn't want anybody to be confused.

05:02:40.000 But this man said, we're going to find a cure to cancer.

05:02:43.000 Nothing happened.

05:02:45.000 We're going to get to the cure for cancer and Alzheimer's and so many other things.

05:02:48.000 We're so close to doing something great.

05:02:52.000 But we need a leader that will let it be done.

05:02:56.000 We will not have men playing in women's sports.

05:02:59.000 That will end immediately.

05:03:12.000 And we will restore and renovate our nation's once-great cities, making them safe, clean, and beautiful again.

05:03:18.000 And that includes our nation's capital, which is a horrible killing field.

05:03:24.000 So many things.

05:03:25.000 They leave from Wisconsin.

05:03:26.000 They go to look at the Washington Monument.

05:03:28.000 They end up getting stabbed, killed, or shot.

05:03:31.000 We will be very soon very proud of our capital again, Washington, D.C.

05:03:43.000 America is on the cusp of a new golden age, but we will

05:03:48.000 Have the courage to seize it.

05:03:50.000 We're going to take it.

05:03:51.000 We're going to make it a current — I mean, we're going to bring this into a golden age like never seen before.

05:03:57.000 Remember this.

05:03:58.000 China wants to do it.

05:03:59.000 Japan wants to do it.

05:04:00.000 All of these countries want to do it.

05:04:02.000 We have to produce massive amounts of energy if we're going to produce the new — if you look at some of the things that have been done and some of the things that we're going to do.

05:04:16.000 AI needs tremendous — literally twice the electricity that's available now in our country.

05:04:24.000 Can you imagine?

05:04:25.000 But instead, we're spending places where they recharge electric cars.

05:04:31.000 They built eight chargers at a certain location toward the Midwest.

05:04:36.000 Eight chargers for $9 billion.

05:04:39.000 Think of them as a tank for filling up your gas.

05:04:44.000 They spent $9 billion on eight charges, three of which didn't work.

05:04:44.000 Think of it.

05:04:53.000 And if you were going to do this all over our country, this crazy electric mandate, if you're going to do this all... And by the way, I'm all for electric.

05:05:01.000 They have their application.

05:05:03.000 But if somebody wants to buy a gas-powered car, gasoline-powered car, or a hybrid, they're going to be able to do it.

05:05:11.000 And we're going to make that change on day one.

05:05:24.000 So, to conclude, just a few short days ago, my journey with you nearly ended.

05:05:32.000 We know that.

05:05:33.000 And yet, here we are tonight, all gathered together, talking about the future, promise, and a total renewal of a thing we love very much.

05:05:43.000 It's called America.

05:05:46.000 We live in a world of miracles.

05:05:48.000 None of us knows God's plan or where life's adventure will take us.

05:05:53.000 I want to thank Franklin Graham for being here tonight.

05:05:56.000 He's an outstanding man.

05:06:02.000 He wrote me a note recently.

05:06:03.000 I have a lot of respect for him.

05:06:05.000 Sir, I love your storytelling.

05:06:08.000 I think it's great in front of these big rallies.

05:06:10.000 But, sir, please do me one favor.

05:06:12.000 It won't make any difference.

05:06:14.000 Please don't use any foul language.

05:06:19.000 I was a little embarrassed, I said.

05:06:22.000 He said, it won't make any difference.

05:06:23.000 Actually, it does.

05:06:24.000 The story's not quite as good, but I've been very good.

05:06:28.000 The story is not quite as good, to be honest.

05:06:30.000 I've got to have a little talk with Franklin, but he was great.

05:06:34.000 He was a great gentleman.

05:06:35.000 His father was so incredible.

05:06:36.000 Billy Graham.

05:06:38.000 My father used to love taking me to see Billy Graham.

05:06:42.000 My father would take me to see Billy Graham at Yankee Stadium.

05:06:46.000 He had the biggest rallies you've ever seen.

05:06:48.000 He was a good rally guy, too.

05:06:51.000 But he'd get up, and he was a fantastic guy.

05:06:53.000 My father loved Billy Graham.

05:06:56.000 But I love Franklin, Graham.

05:06:58.000 I think Franklin's been fantastic, and I'm trying.

05:07:00.000 I'm working so hard to adhere to his note to me.

05:07:04.000 I'm working hard on it, Franklin.

05:07:07.000 But if the events of last Saturday make anything clear, it is that every single moment we have on Earth is a gift from God.

05:07:21.000 We have to make the most of every day for the people and for the country that we love.

05:07:27.000 The attacker in Pennsylvania wanted to stop our movement, but the truth is, the movement has never been about me.

05:07:35.000 It has always been about you.

05:07:36.000 It's your movement.

05:07:37.000 It's the biggest movement in the history of our country by far.

05:07:40.000 It can't be stopped.

05:07:44.000 It can't be stopped.

05:07:45.000 It has always been about the hardworking, patriotic citizens of America.

05:07:51.000 For too long, our nation has settled for too little.

05:07:54.000 We settled for too little.

05:07:56.000 We've given everything to other nations, to other people.

05:08:00.000 You have been told to lower your expectations and to accept less for your families.

05:08:05.000 I am here tonight with the opposite message.

05:08:08.000 Your expectations are not big enough.

05:08:11.000 Not big enough.

05:08:17.000 It is time to start expecting and demanding the best leadership in the world.

05:08:21.000 Leadership that is bold, dynamic, relentless, and fearless.

05:08:25.000 We can do that.

05:08:27.000 We are Americans.

05:08:28.000 Ambition is our heritage.

05:08:30.000 Greatness is our birthright.

05:08:33.000 But as long as our energies are spent fighting each other, our destiny will remain out of reach.

05:08:40.000 And that's not acceptable.

05:08:42.000 We must instead take that energy and use it to realize our country's true potential and write our own thrilling chapter of the American story.

05:08:52.000 We can do it together.

05:08:53.000 We will unite.

05:08:54.000 We are going to come together.

05:08:56.000 And success will bring us together.

05:09:04.000 It is a story of love, sacrifice, and so many other things

05:09:12.000 And remember the word, devotion.

05:09:15.000 It's unmatched devotion.

05:09:18.000 Our American ancestors crossed the Delaware, survived the icy winter at Valley Forge, and defeated a mighty empire to establish our cherished republic.

05:09:28.000 They fought so hard, they lost so many.

05:09:31.000 They pushed thousands and thousands of miles across a dangerous frontier, taming the wilderness to build a life and a magnificent home for their family.

05:09:42.000 They packed their families into covered wagons, trekked across

05:09:46.000 Hazardous trails, scaled, towering mountains, and brave rivers and rapids to stake their claim on the wide-open, new, and very beautiful frontier.

05:09:59.000 When our way of life was threatened, American patriots marched onto the battlefield, raced into enemy strongholds, and stared down death and stared down those enemies to keep alive the flame of freedom.

05:10:14.000 At Yorktown, Gettysburg, and Midway, they joined the roll call of immortal heroes.

05:10:20.000 So many whole — just so many heroes.

05:10:22.000 So many great, great people.

05:10:25.000 And we have to cherish those people.

05:10:26.000 We can't forget those people.

05:10:28.000 We have to cherish those people.

05:10:34.000 And building monuments to those great people is a good thing, not a bad thing.

05:10:41.000 They saved our country.

05:10:44.000 No challenge was too much.

05:10:47.000 No hardship was too great.

05:10:50.000 No enemy was too fierce.

05:10:52.000 Together, these patriots soldiered on and endured, and they prevailed because they had faith in each other, faith in their country, and above all, they had faith in their God.

05:11:09.000 Just like our ancestors, we must now come together, rise above past differences.

05:11:17.000 Any disagreements have to be put aside and go forward, united as one people, one nation, pledging allegiance to one great, beautiful, I think it's so beautiful, American flag.

05:11:33.000 Tonight I ask for your partnership, for your support, and I am humbly asking for your vote.

05:11:40.000 I want your vote.

05:11:42.000 It's going to make our country great again.

05:11:48.000 Every day I will strive to honor the trust you have placed in me, and I will never, ever let you down.

05:11:55.000 I will never let you down.

05:11:55.000 I promise that.

05:11:59.000 To all of the forgotten men and women who have been neglected, abandoned, and left behind, you will be forgotten no longer.

05:12:08.000 We will press forward, and together we will win, win, win.

05:12:28.000 Win!

05:12:29.000 Win!

05:12:30.000 Win!

05:12:31.000 Win!

05:12:35.000 Win!

05:12:36.000 Win!

05:12:37.000 Win!

05:12:38.000 Win!

05:12:39.000 Win!

05:12:40.000 Win!

05:12:41.000 Win!

05:12:42.000 Win!

05:12:45.000 Win!

05:12:46.000 Win!

05:12:47.000 Win!

05:12:48.000 Win!

05:12:49.000 Win!

05:12:50.000 Win!

05:12:51.000 We will keep striving toward our shared and glorious destiny, and we will not fail.

05:12:57.000 We will not fail.

05:13:02.000 Together, we will save this country, we will restore the republic, and we will usher in the rich and wonderful tomorrows that our people so truly deserve.

05:13:15.000 America's future will be bigger, better, bolder, brighter, happier, stronger, freer, greater, and more united than ever before.

05:13:30.000 Yeah.

05:13:39.000 And quite simply put, we will very quickly make America great again.

05:13:48.000 Thank you very much.

05:13:50.000 Thank you very much, Wisconsin.

05:13:52.000 God bless you.

05:13:54.000 God bless you, Wisconsin.

05:13:56.000 And God bless the United States of America, our great country.

05:13:59.000 Thank you very much, everybody.

05:14:00.000 Thank you.

05:14:15.000 That was awful.

05:14:18.000 Absolutely terrible.

05:15:19.000 All right.

05:15:21.000 All right.

05:15:23.000 Balloons, packed convention, family on stage.

05:15:28.000 Yeah, that was really sad.

05:15:32.000 That was really weak and low energy and sad and did not meet the moment at all.

05:15:38.000 Not even remotely.

05:16:30.000 That's really bad.

05:17:01.000 That's a lot of balloons.

05:17:45.000 Yeah, I think it's official.

05:17:46.000 The MAGA movement died either on the election night in 2016 or on the inauguration in 2017.

05:17:57.000 Because everything since then has just been an unrelenting catastrophe.

05:18:05.000 It's not funny.

05:18:06.000 It's not high energy.

05:18:08.000 There's no tweets.

05:18:10.000 It's not right-wing.

05:18:13.000 It's not nationalist.

05:18:17.000 It's not new.

05:18:18.000 It's not different.

05:18:30.000 And that speech was just a... That was a regular stump speech.

05:18:37.000 He almost got killed on Saturday.

05:18:39.000 It's the Republican convention.

05:18:43.000 And he gave a stump speech.

05:18:51.000 Totally unimpressive.

05:18:57.000 So this is just not the same guy, you know?

05:19:00.000 And maybe I need to accept that, and maybe everybody needs to accept that.

05:19:04.000 But this is literally, or figuratively, not the same person from 2016.

05:19:10.000 This is just a different guy.

05:19:13.000 Different movement.

05:19:16.000 So this is just a Republican candidate now.

05:19:20.000 This is not a revolution.

05:19:23.000 We're not making America great again with this.

05:19:26.000 Does anybody really believe any of that?

05:19:28.000 Does anybody honestly believe there will be a mass deportation?

05:19:32.000 No.

05:19:36.000 Does anybody believe we're gonna cure cancer?

05:19:39.000 No.

05:19:42.000 What we're gonna get is a tax cut.

05:19:46.000 We're gonna get a tax cut.

05:19:49.000 Inflation will be reduced.

05:19:53.000 Most likely the war in Ukraine will end.

05:19:59.000 I think that's it.

05:20:03.000 But there will be no draining of the swamp.

05:20:05.000 The swamp is back.

05:20:06.000 The swamp is coming in.

05:20:09.000 This is the swamp.

05:20:12.000 Industry and manufacturing are not coming back.

05:20:16.000 The border will not be closed.

05:20:19.000 Overall immigration will not be reduced.

05:20:26.000 Nothing will happen.

05:20:36.000 You may not like it.

05:20:39.000 That's the truth.

05:20:43.000 So it's just overwhelmingly disappointing.

05:20:49.000 And that's why I said after the conviction, and I said after he announced he was running for re-election, that I'm not voting.

05:21:02.000 And I think that probably it's better that Trump is president than Biden, but I can't bring myself to care that much at all.

05:21:13.000 It's inarguable.

05:21:14.000 Trump will be a better president than Biden.

05:21:16.000 He will be more competent.

05:21:17.000 He will be more effective.

05:21:19.000 The economy will be better.

05:21:21.000 The country will improve.

05:21:24.000 But that's all that can be said.

05:21:26.000 This is going to be a Republican administration.

05:21:30.000 Okay.

05:21:32.000 I'm not a Republican.

05:21:35.000 I'm not a Republican.

05:21:36.000 And I don't care that much.

05:21:40.000 And I'm not going to turn out

05:21:43.000 Illinois is a blue state anyway, and I don't even really care.

05:21:47.000 I'm not energetic.

05:21:48.000 I'm not enthusiastic.

05:21:51.000 And that's why I say this is a different person.

05:21:54.000 In 2016, this was a movement.

05:21:56.000 It was about change.

05:21:58.000 It was about radical reform.

05:22:00.000 That's not there anymore.

05:22:02.000 This was supposed to be the personal dictator of the executive branch that was going to personally fulfill the promises.

05:22:10.000 It didn't happen.

05:22:12.000 That's not who he is.

05:22:14.000 And he certainly isn't... If he was that then, he's not that now.

05:22:18.000 Although it's arguable that it was never going to be that way.

05:22:23.000 So... The Emperor has no clothes.

05:22:28.000 Everything that we heard this week about strength and change and energy... It's not there.

05:22:39.000 This is a weak, boring, boilerplate speech.

05:22:46.000 That black lady gave a better speech.

05:22:49.000 It was more energetic.

05:22:51.000 Ted Cruz gave a better speech.

05:22:54.000 And Ted Cruz didn't even endorse Trump in 2016.

05:22:59.000 Think about that.

05:23:03.000 All that for that.

05:23:06.000 All the hype, all the fanfare, the glazing for that.

05:23:11.000 But you know what?

05:23:12.000 We knew it was this.

05:23:14.000 Because this is how it's been at the rallies.

05:23:17.000 This is how it's been.

05:23:19.000 The rambling, low energy, moderated position, and all this stuff about unity.

05:23:26.000 This is another Republican.

05:23:30.000 What's the promise?

05:23:31.000 Cut the taxes, control the border,

05:23:38.000 Drill for oil.

05:23:39.000 It's a Republican Party platform.

05:23:48.000 The only difference is more porn stars.

05:23:49.000 More porn stars, less Christianity.

05:23:53.000 It's a Republican platform, except the only difference between the RNC in 2012 and the RNC today is that there never would have been a porn star at the RNC in 2012.

05:24:03.000 That's the only difference.

05:24:04.000 Am I wrong?

05:24:06.000 In 2012, they talked about self-deportations on the border.

05:24:10.000 In 2012, they talked about a tax cut.

05:24:12.000 In 2012, they talked about unity.

05:24:14.000 In 2012, they had this vague patriotism, vague monotheistic religion, support for Israel,

05:24:22.000 Standing up to our enemies and our adversaries.

05:24:26.000 Talking about Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2014.

05:24:33.000 Same convention.

05:24:35.000 Only difference is, in this convention, Amber Rose was there.

05:24:40.000 That's the only difference.

05:24:44.000 So, pack it up.

05:24:49.000 Pack it up.

05:24:49.000 This is not what it used to be.

05:24:53.000 And it's disappointing.

05:24:54.000 And that's why J.D.

05:24:55.000 Vance is behind it.

05:24:56.000 That's why all the billionaires are behind it.

05:24:59.000 You don't believe me?

05:25:01.000 The liberal elite doesn't see this as a threat.

05:25:05.000 They don't see it as radical.

05:25:06.000 They don't even see it as right-wing.

05:25:08.000 They look at this as good governance.

05:25:10.000 And that's why they're supporting it.

05:25:12.000 Because that's all it represents now.

05:25:16.000 All these tech billionaires, all these former leftists, the mainstream media, JD Vance, they are no longer never Trumpers.

05:25:26.000 They no longer hate Trump.

05:25:28.000 They no longer fear Trump.

05:25:32.000 And that is because they saw what he did the first time.

05:25:39.000 And they know that there is zero threat that he is going to bring revolutionary change a second time.

05:25:44.000 Because if there was even the slightest chance of that, he would remain a pariah.

05:25:52.000 That's the truth.

05:25:53.000 That's the honest-to-God truth.

05:25:54.000 Just look at the economic forecast.

05:25:58.000 The market is priced in that Trump will bring down the cost of oil, bring down market volatility,

05:26:10.000 Bring down inflation.

05:26:12.000 They anticipate that defense contractors, chips, artificial intelligence, software, will increase in value.

05:26:22.000 This is what they anticipate.

05:26:26.000 And that's why they're behind it.

05:26:29.000 So... That's the brutal truth.

05:26:37.000 Sucks, but it's true.

05:26:47.000 So I think the RNC just sealed the deal for me.

05:26:52.000 Unless something radical changes, I'm just not, I'm not going to vote.

05:26:56.000 Sorry.

05:26:58.000 And you want to know something?

05:27:00.000 The RNC, nobody watches this other than Republicans, for the most part.

05:27:05.000 This doesn't get the viewership that a general election debate gets.

05:27:10.000 You know, typically the convention will give a candidate a temporary boost, but this will not be seen by 30 million people or anything.

05:27:18.000 The convention is for the base.

05:27:21.000 The convention is for the party.

05:27:24.000 And me, being a very conservative voter, me being an immigration restrictionist, being in favor of economic liberalization on some level,

05:27:37.000 Me opposing foreign wars and foreign aid?

05:27:41.000 It didn't win my vote!

05:27:43.000 Nothing that was said this week won my vote.

05:27:46.000 Nothing that was said this week.

05:27:48.000 I'm not energized.

05:27:49.000 I'm not enthusiastic.

05:27:58.000 I don't like to leave the house to begin with.

05:28:01.000 I'm not leaving my house to vote.

05:28:04.000 Vote for what?

05:28:05.000 For J.D.

05:28:06.000 Vance and Usha?

05:28:08.000 America's not an idea, it's a nation!

05:28:11.000 And anyone can come here, they just have to come legally.

05:28:14.000 Illegal immigration must be stopped because it's affecting black people the most.

05:28:19.000 What a joke.

05:28:20.000 The forgotten men and women, by the way.

05:28:23.000 Forgotten men and women, but you know who's really hurting?

05:28:26.000 Because of illegal immigration?

05:28:28.000 Black and Hispanic people.

05:28:30.000 Seriously?

05:28:31.000 What an insult.

05:28:33.000 Yeah, not the people whose country is being stolen out from under our feet.

05:28:37.000 No, it's black and Hispanic people.

05:28:43.000 Totally lame.

05:28:46.000 And this stuff about the hostages and punching Iran?

05:28:55.000 Nikki Haley was here.

05:28:58.000 What's the point?

05:29:01.000 So, this is my honest reaction.

05:29:11.000 You can feel how you want about it.

05:29:13.000 I'm not going to discourage people from voting.

05:29:15.000 I think you should vote for Trump.

05:29:17.000 I'm not.

05:29:18.000 I'm not going to.

05:29:19.000 Didn't do it for me.

05:29:21.000 I would never vote for Biden.

05:29:23.000 I don't want Biden or whoever will replace him to be the president.

05:29:26.000 We'll have to see who it is.

05:29:27.000 Maybe they'll win my vote.

05:29:29.000 I don't think so, but... I'm not trying to demoralize people.

05:29:36.000 I'm just giving you my honest assessment.

05:29:40.000 You can go out and vote.

05:29:41.000 Knock yourself out.

05:29:42.000 You support Trump.

05:29:43.000 Good for you.

05:29:44.000 I like Trump.

05:29:45.000 I think he's a good guy.

05:29:47.000 But it's clear the problem goes all the way to the top.

05:29:51.000 I don't think it's fair any longer to place the blame solely on the advisors and on the donors.

05:30:00.000 This is Trump.

05:30:01.000 This is what it's really about.

05:30:05.000 If you don't come to your senses after you get shot, it's kind of like, okay, so we're tapped.

05:30:11.000 It's tapped.

05:30:14.000 He almost died for this.

05:30:17.000 Think about that.

05:30:19.000 He said tonight on the stage, I shouldn't be here.

05:30:24.000 He almost died for this.

05:30:27.000 This convention that you just watched, he personally wrote the campaign platform.

05:30:32.000 He struck the references to traditional marriage between a man and a woman.

05:30:38.000 This convention with Amber Rose, with the Democrat Jew suing Harvard for anti-Semitism, with the Israeli citizens, with J.D.

05:30:48.000 Vance and Usha.

05:30:51.000 He almost died for this.

05:30:53.000 Would you die for this?

05:30:56.000 Look at this fool.

05:30:58.000 Look at this fool.

05:31:01.000 Case in fucking point.

05:31:02.000 Would you die for this?

05:31:04.000 I said in 2020 that I would die for Trump.

05:31:07.000 Not anymore.

05:31:08.000 I would not die.

05:31:09.000 I would... I would not die for this.

05:31:14.000 You wanna die for what?

05:31:15.000 A moderate reduction in illegal immigration?

05:31:20.000 You wanna die for what?

05:31:21.000 Cheaper gas prices?

05:31:23.000 Cheaper groceries?

05:31:25.000 Nice life.

05:31:26.000 You wanna die so that we can create a rump state in Ukraine?

05:31:29.000 What difference does it make?

05:31:31.000 I mean, honestly, what difference does it make?

05:31:37.000 I'm not dying for this.

05:31:39.000 I'm not voting for this.

05:31:40.000 I'm not lending my credibility to this.

05:31:45.000 As a real conservative, as a real right-wing American,

05:31:53.000 You could not force me to care about this.

05:31:56.000 You could not bribe me to care.

05:31:58.000 I don't care.

05:31:59.000 I don't even want to look at it anymore.

05:32:08.000 So... Very sad.

05:32:12.000 We knew it was going to be like this, though.

05:32:14.000 Because that's how it's been.

05:32:17.000 And we'll watch.

05:32:18.000 I actually want to play the 2016 convention.

05:32:26.000 Once this ends, I want to play some clips from the 2016 convention, just to show you what I mean.

05:32:31.000 Because I... Honestly, I think people forgot.

05:32:33.000 I think... I think either people are not old enough, because a lot of my audience is younger.

05:32:38.000 A lot of people weren't there for 2016, because they weren't into politics, or they weren't into Trump.

05:32:44.000 So I think a lot of people didn't watch it the first time.

05:32:48.000 And I think a lot of people just forgot.

05:32:50.000 So once this wraps, I want to play some clips from 2016, and I'll show you what I mean.

05:32:57.000 And you will see the differences night and day.

05:33:01.000 It couldn't be clearer.

05:33:03.000 It couldn't be more stark.

05:33:05.000 It's not my imagination.

05:33:07.000 My expectations are not unrealistic.

05:33:11.000 And it's not subtle.

05:33:29.000 That dress is too short.

05:33:59.000 Friends, delegates, and fellow Americans, I humbly and gratefully accept your nomination for the presidency of the United States.

05:34:18.000 Okay.

05:34:20.000 You see what I mean?

05:34:46.000 We started this journey on June 16th, last year.

05:34:52.000 And I say we, because we are a team, would have received almost 14 million votes, the most in the history of the Republican Party.

05:35:07.000 And that the Republican Party would get 60% more votes than it received eight years ago.

05:35:16.000 Who would have believed this?

05:35:18.000 Who would have believed this?

05:35:19.000 I want to fast forward to some of the best parts.

05:35:22.000 I think this is it.

05:35:23.000 Our rigged system will begin with safety at home, which means safe neighborhoods, secure borders, and protection from terrorism.

05:35:35.000 There can be no prosperity without law and order.

05:35:41.000 Literally gives me chills when you watch it in 2016.

05:35:58.000 On the economy, I will outline reforms to add millions of new jobs and trillions in new wealth that can be used to rebuild America.

05:36:11.000 Tonight, we'll be opposed by some of our nation's most powerful special interests.

05:36:17.000 Listen to this.

05:36:18.000 That's because these interests have rigged our political and economic system for their exclusive benefit.

05:36:26.000 Believe me, it's for their benefit.

05:36:35.000 Big business, elite media, and major donors are lining up behind the campaign of my opponent because they know she will keep our rigged system in place.

05:36:54.000 They are throwing money at her because they have total control over every single thing she does.

05:37:03.000 She is their puppet, and they pull the strings.

05:37:12.000 That is why Hillary Clinton's message is that things will never change.

05:37:19.000 Never ever.

05:37:23.000 My message is that things have to change, and they have to change right now.

05:37:51.000 Every day, I wake up determined to deliver a better life for the people all across this nation that have been ignored, neglected, and abandoned.

05:38:05.000 I have visited the laid-off factory workers and the communities crushed by our horrible and unfair trade deals.

05:38:18.000 These are the forgotten men and women of our country, and they are forgotten, but they're not going to be forgotten long.

05:38:33.000 These are people who work hard, but no longer have a voice.

05:38:40.000 I am your voice.

05:39:01.000 I have embraced crying mothers who have lost their children because our politicians put their personal agendas before the national good.

05:39:12.000 I have no patience for injustice.

05:39:31.000 We'll finish this part, we'll go to the end, and then we'll do more analysis.

05:39:36.000 What's going on over at the other convention, hmm?

05:39:40.000 Okay, I don't need to watch that.

05:39:40.000 Is it still going on?

05:40:09.000 How great is- How- Look at this, some protester.

05:40:13.000 See, there's no protest now.

05:40:16.000 How great are our police and how great is Cleveland?

05:40:23.000 It was like WWE.

05:40:24.000 There was so much conflict and energy.

05:40:29.000 People actually protested because people actually cared.

05:40:29.000 Look!

05:40:35.000 No one cares now.

05:40:43.000 No tolerance for government incompetence, of which there is so much.

05:40:47.000 No sympathy for leaders who fail their citizens.

05:40:51.000 When innocent people suffer because our political system lacks the will or the courage or the basic decency to enforce our laws, or still worse, has sold out to some corporate lobbyist for cash

05:41:07.000 I am not able to look the other way, and I won't look the other way.

05:41:18.000 And when a Secretary of State illegally stores her emails on a private server, deletes 33,000 of them so the authorities can't see her crime,

05:41:34.000 Puts our country at risk, lies about it in every different form, and faces no consequence.

05:41:45.000 I know that corruption has reached a level like never ever before in our country.

05:41:52.000 And then I want to go to the end.

05:41:59.000 The ending is so good.

05:42:07.000 So much cheering, too.

05:42:08.000 Do you know, this speech, it's only like a 40-minute speech, but it's 30 minutes of applause.

05:42:16.000 That's what everybody reported the day after the convention.

05:42:20.000 It was so long because people were constantly applauding.

05:42:24.000 People were on their feet the whole time, hanging on every word.

05:42:29.000 I mean, listen to the difference in the crowd.

05:42:35.000 sign of how out of touch she really is.

05:42:39.000 We are going to ask every department head in government to provide a list of wasteful spending.

05:42:51.000 Justices of the United States Supreme Court.

05:42:57.000 The replacement of our beloved Justice Scalia.

05:43:05.000 Then there's my mother Mary.

05:43:08.000 She was strong.

05:43:10.000 Great mother.

05:43:11.000 Character.

05:43:11.000 People.

05:43:13.000 My brother.

05:43:14.000 You are most special.

05:43:16.000 A truly great life and business.

05:43:19.000 But now, my sole and exclusive mission is to go to work for our country

05:43:28.000 To go to work for you.

05:43:31.000 It's time to deliver a victory for the American people.

05:43:36.000 We don't win anymore, but we are going to start winning again.

05:43:56.000 But to do that,

05:43:58.000 We must break free from the petty politics of the past.

05:44:04.000 America is a nation of believers, dreamers, and strivers that is being led by a group of censors, critics, and cynics.

05:44:19.000 All of the people telling you you can't have the country you want are the same people that wouldn't stand.

05:44:30.000 I mean, they said Trump doesn't have a chance of being here tonight.

05:44:36.000 Not a chance.

05:44:37.000 The same people.

05:44:40.000 Oh, we love defeating those people, don't we?

05:44:43.000 Don't we love defeating those people?

05:44:47.000 Love it, love it, love it.

05:44:54.000 No longer can we rely on those same people in the media and politics who will say anything to keep our rigged system in place.

05:45:08.000 Instead, we must choose to believe in America.

05:45:13.000 History is watching us now.

05:45:16.000 We don't have much time, but history is watching.

05:45:21.000 It's waiting to see if we will rise to the occasion and if we will show the whole world that America is still free and independent and strong.

05:45:43.000 I am asking for your support tonight.

05:45:47.000 So that I can be your champion in the White House.

05:45:50.000 And I will be your champion.

05:46:00.000 My opponent asks her supporters to recite a three-word loyalty prudge.

05:46:07.000 It reads, I'm with her.

05:46:12.000 I choose to recite a different pledge.

05:46:17.000 My pledge reads, I'm with you, the American people.

05:46:41.000 I am your voice.

05:46:45.000 So to every parent who dreams for their child, and every child who dreams for their future, I say these words to you tonight.

05:46:59.000 I am with you, I will fight for you, and I will win for you.

05:47:19.000 Ah, yeah, takes me back.

05:47:21.000 See, that's the difference.

05:47:22.000 That's the difference ten years.

05:47:24.000 Not Biden, not Obama, not Clinton.

05:47:27.000 Let's go back.

05:47:28.000 Let's just do a little quick.

05:47:31.000 And right now as we speak, it was peanuts by comparison to what happened after I left.

05:47:37.000 Look at what happened after I left.

05:47:39.000 They took over our country.

05:47:41.000 We ended all catch-and-release.

05:47:44.000 We shut down asylum fraud.

05:47:46.000 We stopped human trafficking and forged historic agreements to keep... Let's go to the end of the speech.

05:47:50.000 ...aliens on fire.

05:47:52.000 We must instead take that energy and use it to realize our country's true potential and write our own thrilling chapter of the American story.

05:48:02.000 We can do it together.

05:48:03.000 We will unite.

05:48:04.000 We are going to come together.

05:48:06.000 And success will bring us together.

05:48:14.000 It is a story of love, sacrifice, and so many other things.

05:48:22.000 And remember the word, devotion.

05:48:25.000 It's unmatched devotion.

05:48:27.000 Our American ancestors crossed the Delaware, survived the icy winter at Valley Forge, and defeated a mighty empire to establish our cherished... Yeah, see, it's just so different.

05:48:38.000 So I just, you know, it's important to do the comparison so people can see

05:48:43.000 And I recognize he's an older man.

05:48:45.000 He's eight years older.

05:48:46.000 He's been through a lot.

05:48:48.000 So it's not even just the delivery.

05:48:52.000 It's the level of effort.

05:48:54.000 This speech is now, it's just rambling.

05:48:57.000 The writing's bad.

05:48:58.000 The rhetoric's different.

05:48:59.000 Back in 2016, the focus was on the special interests, the media.

05:49:05.000 It was about the way the country is.

05:49:07.000 Now it's about the Democrats and it's about inflation and it's about

05:49:14.000 Price of groceries.

05:49:17.000 When have you ever heard any talk about corruption, lobbyists, special interests, like we did in 2016?

05:49:25.000 It's just a different, it's just a different campaign.

05:49:28.000 And I know that.

05:49:29.000 I recognize that.

05:49:31.000 But people need to recognize that and realize that we need a new movement.

05:49:37.000 It's just true.

05:49:38.000 We need a new movement.

05:49:39.000 This one is out of, it's out of gas.

05:49:41.000 Okay.

05:49:42.000 Ironically, there is no energy to unleash here.

05:49:46.000 This is not an energy dominant movement anymore.

05:49:49.000 It used to be, but it's not anymore.

05:49:52.000 In 2016, it was high energy.

05:49:54.000 It was, of course you are with Trump and you were excited to be there now.

05:49:58.000 Okay.

05:50:01.000 People say it's been a long time.

05:50:03.000 They're right.

05:50:04.000 It's time for something new.

05:50:07.000 So, people need to look past Trump.

05:50:09.000 They need to look beyond what's going on now because it's out of momentum.

05:50:14.000 It's tapped.

05:50:15.000 The convention proved that tonight.

05:50:17.000 Even him getting shot in the face.

05:50:19.000 I had feelings about Trump on the weekend, this past weekend.

05:50:24.000 I haven't felt that way about Trump in a long time.

05:50:29.000 I mean, it truly was evocative to imagine him not here.

05:50:36.000 And it took three days for all of those feelings to evaporate.

05:50:39.000 Three days for all of that, you know, whatever that... If that brought feelings back to the surface, if that reminded me of how things used to be, whatever that inspired, it evaporated by Monday.

05:50:58.000 And it is gone now.

05:50:59.000 It's all gone.

05:51:00.000 And you realize that there's nothing that's bringing this back.

05:51:04.000 Nothing.

05:51:06.000 Because Trump is tapped.

05:51:10.000 There's no successor.

05:51:15.000 And so there's no second act.

05:51:17.000 I think it's just kind of done.

05:51:18.000 I think it's just kind of over.

05:51:19.000 The fight is over.

05:51:20.000 There's no fight anymore.

05:51:23.000 No, no one cares.

05:51:24.000 There's no protests.

05:51:25.000 There's no, the media doesn't care.

05:51:30.000 He's calling for unity.

05:51:31.000 He's calling for peace.

05:51:32.000 It's not, we don't feel like we're bursting through the walls and ready to take over.

05:51:37.000 Now it just feels like, well, he's better than Biden.

05:51:39.000 Well, you know, it's going to be, the economy is going to be better than it has been for the past four years.

05:51:47.000 So yeah, I'm, I'm pretty disappointed.

05:51:51.000 Yesterday I gave a pretty strong speech about the whole thing.

05:51:54.000 I don't even feel—I'm just kind of indifferent.

05:51:58.000 It doesn't inspire in me anger or self-righteousness.

05:52:03.000 There's not like a righteous indignation.

05:52:06.000 It doesn't inspire me any kind of love or enthusiasm.

05:52:10.000 It is—I'm completely apathetic about it.

05:52:14.000 This convention has not moved me.

05:52:16.000 It hasn't inspired me.

05:52:18.000 I don't like it.

05:52:19.000 It's not speaking to me.

05:52:20.000 I don't agree with a lot of it.

05:52:23.000 I just don't care.

05:52:24.000 It was boring.

05:52:27.000 And I'm apathetic about the whole thing.

05:52:30.000 I don't feel like I was the audience.

05:52:32.000 And I don't say that as a Nazi groiper.

05:52:35.000 I say that as a young white man in America.

05:52:38.000 I say that as a young, extremely conservative, very religious white man in America.

05:52:44.000 Didn't speak to me.

05:52:48.000 So, you know, I saw people in the live chat they're saying, oh, I can't wait for Nick's monologue after this.

05:52:55.000 I don't even really have anything to say.

05:52:57.000 It's just.

05:52:58.000 This has been more of the same.

05:53:00.000 What else can we expect?

05:53:01.000 My expectations, I thought maybe I'd be pleasantly surprised, but my expectations were very, very low.

05:53:07.000 And it's about what I expected.

05:53:09.000 It's what we see at every rally now.

05:53:12.000 It's what we see at every public appearance, every interview, every softball interview.

05:53:19.000 Who's writing these speeches?

05:53:21.000 Who's giving him this advice?

05:53:23.000 He stopped himself in the middle of the speech.

05:53:25.000 He said Biden.

05:53:26.000 He started to go in on Biden and then said, well, I'm only going to say that one time.

05:53:30.000 Someone's telling him.

05:53:31.000 Someone's coaching him.

05:53:32.000 Hey, boss, tonight, we're not going to attack the left.

05:53:35.000 Tonight's about unity.

05:53:38.000 The people want unity.

05:53:39.000 The independents and the Democrats want unity.

05:53:43.000 So tonight, let's not even say Biden.

05:53:45.000 Yeah.

05:53:46.000 Then the media will say, oh, he's not divisive.

05:53:49.000 Then the media will say, oh, he didn't even mention Biden once.

05:53:53.000 What a guy.

05:53:55.000 You could tell because he caught himself.

05:53:56.000 He said, well, I'm only going to say that once.

05:53:58.000 Why would he say that other than that?

05:54:01.000 The game plan going in was don't mention Biden, just like in the debate.

05:54:05.000 He wasn't on top of Biden even then.

05:54:09.000 So it's sort of like all the faggots that never supported Trump in 2016 have won.

05:54:15.000 They got rid of the mean tweets.

05:54:18.000 They got rid of the aggression.

05:54:19.000 Anybody that might have been confused and thought Trump would be an American Hitler,

05:54:24.000 For better or for worse, whether that means he's going to close the borders, or that means he's going to be a charismatic leader, or it means he's going to install a personal dictatorship in the government, whatever that meant for you, they won.

05:54:38.000 It's no longer the case.

05:54:40.000 It's not dangerous.

05:54:42.000 It's not scary.

05:54:43.000 It's not threatening anybody.

05:54:45.000 It's not even right-wing.

05:54:47.000 They have domesticated and conquered the Trump campaign.

05:54:53.000 They won.

05:54:54.000 No more mean tweets.

05:54:55.000 You won.

05:54:56.000 You got Trumpism without Trump.

05:54:59.000 Now it's about being against China.

05:55:02.000 Now it's about bombing Iran.

05:55:04.000 Now it's about cutting taxes.

05:55:05.000 Now it's about oil.

05:55:09.000 You won.

05:55:10.000 Trumpism without Trump.

05:55:13.000 You know, all those people back in 16 that said, you know, I wish you would just appoint Supreme Court justices and not tweet so much.

05:55:20.000 You won.

05:55:20.000 No tweets.

05:55:23.000 And all these people that said, I just want a president that won't rock the boat.

05:55:27.000 We just want a good economy.

05:55:29.000 You won.

05:55:29.000 This guy's not rocking the boat at all.

05:55:32.000 We're asleep.

05:55:33.000 We're sleeping.

05:55:34.000 It's boring.

05:55:37.000 People used to say, I just wish he was more presidential.

05:55:40.000 Yeah, he's just like Biden now.

05:55:42.000 He's just like Biden.

05:55:44.000 He's like Biden from four years ago.

05:55:47.000 He's old.

05:55:48.000 He's tired.

05:55:51.000 He's very presidential.

05:55:54.000 He's not reading Lindsey Graham's phone number on the stage.

05:55:57.000 He's not calling.

05:55:58.000 He's not saying Ted Cruz's dad killed JFK.

05:56:04.000 He's not saying he's gonna spill the beans about Ted Cruz's wife.

05:56:08.000 Remember that?

05:56:13.000 What did Ted Cruz say to Trump in 2016?

05:56:15.000 He said something like, Stay the hell away from Heidi.

05:56:20.000 What did he say?

05:56:27.000 It was so cringe.

05:56:27.000 What was it?

05:56:30.000 Yeah, he's not doing that anymore.

05:56:35.000 Leave Heidi the hell alone!

05:56:36.000 Remember that?

05:56:38.000 Donald, you're a stifling coward, and leave Heidi the hell alone!

05:56:48.000 You know, I have to say, seeing him go deeper and deeper to the gutter... It's not easy to tick me off.

05:56:58.000 I don't get angry often.

05:57:00.000 I'm ticked off.

05:57:01.000 But you mess with my wife, you mess with my kids, that'll do it every time.

05:57:05.000 Donald, you're a sniveling coward and leave Heidi the hell alone.

05:57:08.000 Real men- This is- it was so different!

05:57:15.000 If only you knew how different things could be.

05:57:19.000 But you know what?

05:57:21.000 I'm gonna smile because it happened.

05:57:22.000 I'm not gonna cry because it's over, I'm gonna smile because it happened.

05:57:28.000 You go after my wife and my kids, and I'll do it every time!

05:57:32.000 Donald, you're a sibling coward!

05:57:35.000 Leave Heidi the hell alone!

05:57:39.000 Oh, man.

05:57:43.000 Now Tucker likes him.

05:57:43.000 Yeah.

05:57:44.000 Now Vance likes him.

05:57:46.000 Now Silicon Valley likes him.

05:57:48.000 The donors, the special interests like him.

05:57:49.000 The media likes him.

05:57:51.000 Project 2025 has been discarded because the media attacked him too much.

05:57:57.000 It's over.

05:57:59.000 It's over.

05:58:01.000 It's over.

05:58:01.000 MAGAs.

05:58:02.000 MAGAs.

05:58:04.000 And you know who's gonna inherit it?

05:58:05.000 JD Vance.

05:58:06.000 That's your MAGA.

05:58:08.000 Make America Something Else.

05:58:10.000 Not Make America Great Again.

05:58:11.000 Now it's Make America Something Else.

05:58:14.000 Make America, we're going to bury Indian immigrants in the Appalachian Cemetery.

05:58:20.000 Make America some other thing.

05:58:22.000 Make America India.

05:58:25.000 That's going to be our country.

05:58:26.000 Because he will be, he has been set up, he was not a deplorable, he was not a supporter in 16.

05:58:32.000 All the things we liked about Trump, he hated.

05:58:35.000 His concerns have been ameliorated.

05:58:37.000 Now he's the inheritor, heir apparent, vice president.

05:58:42.000 It's over.

05:58:43.000 It's time to look to the future.

05:58:45.000 We've outgrown.

05:58:46.000 The country's outgrown this.

05:58:48.000 We've outgrown this.

05:58:49.000 It's no longer about the economy and whatever.

05:58:53.000 It's a different battle.

05:58:55.000 Different generation.

05:58:56.000 So, it's very hard to say that, but that's kind of how it is.

05:59:01.000 I mean, I love the guy.

05:59:04.000 I don't want him to get shot.

05:59:04.000 I don't want him to die.

05:59:06.000 I think he's a hero.

05:59:07.000 I think he's a good man, but clearly,

05:59:14.000 This is not the same person that started the movement.

05:59:16.000 The movement that I joined when I was a young man, you know, when I was 18.

05:59:19.000 It's weaker.

05:59:24.000 It's not conservative.

05:59:27.000 And, uh, you know, I feel like it's just, it left me.

05:59:30.000 So, yeah, I mean, look at this.

05:59:31.000 We got Kid Rock.

05:59:32.000 Anyway.

05:59:33.000 So, that's my feelings on the whole thing.

05:59:35.000 This RNC was just really miserable to get through.

05:59:38.000 It was really tough to get through.

05:59:40.000 Very boring.

05:59:41.000 I know it's always sort of like that, but that's kind of the point, isn't it?

05:59:41.000 Very tedious.

05:59:47.000 It's just like it always was.

05:59:49.000 Boring, lame, no noticeable impact.

05:59:53.000 Eight years, no institutional impact.

05:59:55.000 Not really.

05:59:56.000 So...

06:00:00.000 I appreciate everybody tuning in.

06:00:02.000 It was our biggest stream yet on Rumble, so I appreciate that.

06:00:04.000 We had over 30,000 viewers.

06:00:06.000 It's officially my biggest stream yet on Rumble, so thanks everybody for tuning in, and thanks everybody for joining me over the course of the week.

06:00:14.000 I'm gonna read Super Chats, but I know typically people start to file out before we do that.

06:00:20.000 I can understand why.

06:00:21.000 The Super Chats suck.

06:00:22.000 Some of you sick people like it, but...

06:00:26.000 Um, it's been a great week.

06:00:27.000 We had five streams this week with over 25,000 or over 20,000 live viewers.

06:00:34.000 So it's been an incredible run this week on Rumble.

06:00:37.000 Huge stream on Saturday.

06:00:39.000 Huge streams throughout the convention.

06:00:41.000 And I think that's a positive sign.

06:00:43.000 I have been very negative about the convention.

06:00:46.000 And you know what?

06:00:47.000 A lot of people are saying, oh, you're negative.

06:00:47.000 Shut up.

06:00:50.000 You're miserable.

06:00:52.000 It sucks.

06:01:07.000 People said that about Trump.

06:01:09.000 They said, oh, Trump, you're so negative.

06:01:11.000 And he would say, well, our country sucks, you know?

06:01:14.000 Well, he wouldn't say it like that, but he would say our country's in decline.

06:01:18.000 That's how I feel right now.

06:01:19.000 People say, people recognize it sucks.

06:01:23.000 They're still hanging on.

06:01:25.000 They don't like to hear that.

06:01:26.000 So they blame me.

06:01:27.000 They say, oh, well, you're negative.

06:01:28.000 Well, you're just difficult to please.

06:01:30.000 I'm really not.

06:01:32.000 I'm trying to be charitable, I'm trying to look for the bright spot, but the undeniable, brutal truth is that the system has conquered the MAGA revolution.

06:01:41.000 That's the verdict after tonight, and I will not vote.

06:01:46.000 So...

06:01:48.000 What are we going to do in 2024?

06:01:50.000 Well, we'll have to see what happens at the Democrat convention and then it's an evolving conversation because it's such a dynamic election year and how we approach the forthcoming administration, which will most likely be another Trump administration.

06:02:06.000 Again, we're going to have to see how that takes shape with the transition and with some of our allies, but radical intervention is required.

06:02:14.000 We need to go in and we need to come together and we need to figure out what the future will be.

06:02:19.000 2024 is over.

06:02:21.000 I'm already looking ahead to 2028 and that's what we need to have a mind towards is what comes next.

06:02:26.000 How can we make sure

06:02:28.000 That the spirit of 2016 defines the future of the MAGA movement or whatever comes next, whatever succeeds it after 2028 and into the next decade, into the 2030s.

06:02:40.000 That's where our mind needs to be because this is tapped.

06:02:44.000 The juice is no longer worth the squeeze here.

06:02:48.000 Um, but anyway, it's been a good week.

06:02:49.000 Like I said, I think it's a good sign of things to come.

06:02:52.000 I've been very negative.

06:02:53.000 I've been very critical from my point of view, and yet I've had a massive stream on Rumble, which is a very large Trump-supporting conservative audience, so...

06:03:04.000 I hope that shows on some level that there's agreement with what I'm saying.

06:03:07.000 If the viewership is great, well, that kind of speaks to maybe some dissatisfaction.

06:03:13.000 I've been a lifelong Trump supporter literally my entire adult life.

06:03:17.000 I'm not a Republican, but I'm an America firster and they lost me.

06:03:23.000 They lost me.

06:03:24.000 That's how I see it.

06:03:25.000 So some people say, well, good riddance.

06:03:28.000 I say, well, you know, you can have Vance and Usha.

06:03:33.000 They're all yours.

06:03:35.000 So that's my response to the whole thing, but thanks for watching.

06:03:38.000 I appreciate everybody tuning in.

06:03:39.000 Make sure to follow me here on Rumble.

06:03:41.000 I'll be back tomorrow.

06:03:42.000 I'll be doing a show tomorrow at 8 o'clock Central.

06:03:46.000 I normally do a show every weeknight, Monday through Friday at 8 o'clock Central, so tune in tomorrow.

06:03:52.000 I'll be giving a full review after I have a little bit of time to digest everything and sleep on it.

06:03:58.000 I'll be back tomorrow at 8 o'clock to talk about this whole convention and the developments pertaining to the Democratic Convention, which is coming soon.

06:04:07.000 And excuse me, and whether Joe Biden will drop out of the race.

06:04:11.000 So I'll be doing coverage of that all night tomorrow.

06:04:13.000 Make sure to tune in and smash the follow button, leave a like.

06:04:16.000 With that, we're going to take a look at our super chats.

06:04:18.000 We'll see what you guys have to say about all this.

06:04:21.000 Let me know if you disagree.

06:04:25.000 Tell me what you think about all this, because I know some people think I'm being too hard on Trump, but I don't think so.

06:04:38.000 So let's take a look.

06:04:39.000 Let me get set up here.

06:04:43.000 And we'll read our Super Chats.

06:04:46.000 Tough night.

06:04:50.000 Okay.

06:04:56.000 Oh, all right.

06:04:58.000 And it's still not working!

06:05:00.000 We might not have to even do Super Chats tonight because it's still glitched out from yesterday.

06:05:00.000 Thank God.

06:05:07.000 I'm going to see if I can get it to work.

06:05:08.000 If I can't, we'll just read them tomorrow, I guess.

06:05:16.000 Here, let me try again.

06:05:17.000 Okay.

06:05:39.000 There we go.

06:05:48.000 No, man.

06:05:49.000 I just want Hulk Hogan.

06:05:50.000 We need more Hulk Hogan.

06:05:50.000 Thank you very much, man.

06:05:51.000 I appreciate it.

06:06:14.000 Richard Lyman sent $100, my daily 100 love you Nick.

06:06:19.000 Thank you very much for the big super chat, I appreciate it man.

06:06:23.000 Chad Champion sent $15, also Ben Carson is based because he knifed his best friend, another black guy, so has tough on crime.

06:06:31.000 I forgot about that, yeah.

06:06:35.000 That was a big talking point during the primary in 2016, I totally forgot he stabbed a guy.

06:06:41.000 I know, I've read that.

06:07:01.000 Of course, because they're trying to get these Zionists to turn out for them, with their money that is, not their votes.

06:07:08.000 The black row I percent $25, half.

06:07:10.000 The problem with the right is they long to be validated by the left, even in the short term.

06:07:15.000 They're tired of being ostracized as racist, homophobic, misogynistic, etc.

06:07:20.000 so they concede on the issues.

06:07:22.000 They're tired of being losers so they ape the winners.

06:07:25.000 It's the just wait, they've got a secret plan rhetoric.

06:07:28.000 Yup.

06:07:29.000 The black row I percent $25, two halves, the people that still can't admit the right has lost its way.

06:07:35.000 The people that either can't or refuse to just take the damn L. In truth, the only way to win is to stand on business, make an honest case, and let the people come to you, or not.

06:07:45.000 And you're the true encapsulation of that idea, Nick.

06:07:49.000 Keep fighting.

06:07:49.000 Thank you very much, man.

06:07:51.000 And well said.

06:07:52.000 Well said.

06:07:53.000 That's what Trump did in 16.

06:07:54.000 Now there's just this pleading with the left, pleading with the people in the middle.

06:07:58.000 Please vote for us.

06:07:59.000 Please like us.

06:08:01.000 Look, we're not extreme.

06:08:02.000 We're not right-wing.

06:08:03.000 We're for everybody.

06:08:06.000 It's really pathetic.

06:08:07.000 And that's how Republicans have always been.

06:08:08.000 They don't even play to their own side, ever.

06:08:11.000 They just play to these.

06:08:13.000 And you know, the thing is in 2020, Trump lost a lot of white voters.

06:08:17.000 Yes, there was a fraud, but Trump did decrease with rural white voters, with working class white voters.

06:08:27.000 Yeah he's finished.

06:08:27.000 I mean he's what, 35?

06:08:53.000 And he's still making errors like that.

06:08:55.000 It's over for him.

06:08:56.000 I mean, because he used to be extremely rambunctious, and then he was able to rehabilitate himself.

06:09:01.000 It was a very concerted and deliberate effort.

06:09:04.000 And now he's burning it all to the ground with this pro-violent rhetoric.

06:09:07.000 And I don't know why he's doing it.

06:09:09.000 I don't know if it's for attention.

06:09:10.000 If it is, it's very short-sighted.

06:09:13.000 But it's not smart, and he's really injuring himself.

06:09:18.000 And it all started with Jimbo.

06:09:19.000 Honestly, well, it really started with me going out and streaming with him.

06:09:23.000 I think that was really the beginning of the end for him.

06:09:27.000 But Jimbo did a number on him, exposing how stupid he is.

06:09:31.000 The divorce left a mark.

06:09:35.000 And now he's just totally nuts, self-immolating in real time.

06:09:39.000 So, it's good.

06:09:41.000 Good development.

06:09:42.000 Toad GrowApper sent $50.

06:09:42.000 Good to see.

06:09:43.000 Thank you for all you do, Nick.

06:09:45.000 Less than three.

06:09:46.000 Thanks a lot, man.

06:09:47.000 I appreciate it.

06:09:48.000 LeftEyeLopes12 sent $30.

06:09:50.000 I hate that these Jewish donors who have nothing in common with us can go on stage and talk about what's good for Americans.

06:09:57.000 Send.

06:09:58.000 Them.

06:09:58.000 Back.

06:10:00.000 Well, it's these Israelis.

06:10:01.000 These Israelis, they're dual citizens.

06:10:03.000 There haven't been a ton of Jewish people.

06:10:05.000 It's all Israelis that are going up there.

06:10:08.000 Cookie Baking Granny sent $50.

06:10:10.000 Thank you.

06:10:11.000 Hey, thanks a lot.

06:10:12.000 I appreciate it.

06:10:15.000 Glad you like the coverage.

06:10:16.000 Cookie Baking Granny sent $20.

06:10:18.000 I hate it happened.

06:10:19.000 But how does taking a bullet you don't know is coming heroic?

06:10:22.000 Where would the crowd run to?

06:10:24.000 They sheltered in place.

06:10:25.000 Stunned, I'm sure.

06:10:27.000 So tired of the mindfuck.

06:10:29.000 Well, it's that he got up and raised his fist.

06:10:32.000 I think people saw it.

06:10:33.000 And to his credit, that was an extremely courageous thing to do.

06:10:36.000 That was instinctual.

06:10:39.000 I've never been shot at.

06:10:40.000 You probably haven't either.

06:10:41.000 If you get shot in the head and you're like,

06:10:45.000 I'm being assassinated right now.

06:10:47.000 It does take an extraordinary spirit to get up and defiance and raise your fist like that rather than to just literally make a break for it and push him off the stage.

06:10:58.000 So I'm not going to knock him for that.

06:11:00.000 I do think that was a heroic moment.

06:11:02.000 That's literally heroism in the face of getting shot.

06:11:08.000 You know, you get up and raise your fist.

06:11:09.000 That's like the definition of heroic.

06:11:11.000 This was pretty sweet.

06:11:13.000 But the problem is he had this like Sleepy Joe moment where he's, he's like wandering around.

06:11:21.000 But that was an iconic intro.

06:11:27.000 The problem is he lacks the aura, the visuals grade, but aura's sort of gone.

06:11:34.000 Anyway, so I don't know.

06:11:38.000 I don't think I agree with that, but I just wish it would have woken him up a little bit.

06:11:44.000 It's pretty disturbing stuff.

06:11:46.000 If you read his essay, The Straussian Moment, you might be able to decode it.

06:11:52.000 And he talks about it a lot in more explicit terms, but...

06:11:55.000 It's not good.

06:11:57.000 Has everything to do with Palantir.

06:11:59.000 Yeah, I think so.

06:12:15.000 I think they will.

06:12:16.000 School choice means they're, you know, all the black kids that are in the black neighborhoods, in the black schools and beating up the teachers, they're all going to be sent out to every other.

06:12:27.000 Oh, we like the good schools.

06:12:30.000 We want to go to the good schools where the white people are.

06:12:30.000 We like the good.

06:12:33.000 And guess what's going to happen to the good schools?

06:12:36.000 So, yeah, I think that would actually be in effect.

06:12:37.000 Richard Lyman sent $100.

06:12:38.000 No message.

06:12:40.000 Hey, thank you for the big super chat.

06:12:42.000 This guy's been really supporting us lately.

06:12:44.000 I gotta reply to his email.

06:12:45.000 I've just been busy with this endless coverage of the RNC, but thank you.

06:12:49.000 I think they're all gonna rally around Kamala.

06:12:49.000 I think it's gonna be Kamala.

06:13:07.000 James sent $15.

06:13:09.000 Hey, just want to say love the show.

06:13:11.000 But the performance from Kid Rock was epic.

06:13:14.000 Rock and roll is the white man's music.

06:13:16.000 We need more rock and roll, less rap and gangsta culture.

06:13:19.000 For decades, white Americans ran on rock music, not rap.

06:13:23.000 You need to understand that, dude.

06:13:25.000 This has got to be a troll.

06:13:26.000 It's got to be.

06:13:28.000 This guy's doing his best impression of a baby boomer.

06:13:31.000 I like rock music, but that's not rock music.

06:13:34.000 That's just crap.

06:13:36.000 That performance was just weird and crappy.

06:13:40.000 I love rock music, of course.

06:13:42.000 I listen to mostly alternative and indie music.

06:13:46.000 People think I'm really into rap.

06:13:47.000 I do like some rap music, but I'm mostly actually into alternative and indie music.

06:13:52.000 But I like everything, and I know all the classics.

06:13:55.000 I listen to everything.

06:13:56.000 I know Elvis, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Velvet Underground, Radiohead.

06:14:06.000 You name it.

06:14:07.000 Okay.

06:14:10.000 Rush.

06:14:14.000 Elton John.

06:14:15.000 Billy Joel.

06:14:18.000 Eagles.

06:14:21.000 Captain Beefheart.

06:14:23.000 I know music.

06:14:25.000 I know rock music.

06:14:26.000 I like rock music.

06:14:31.000 Prog rock, Elvis Costello.

06:14:33.000 I know all about rock music, and I like rock music, and I like, I actually think the new white music is alternative.

06:14:42.000 Indian alternative is really the voice of my generation.

06:14:47.000 But that just sucked.

06:14:50.000 I mean, that was just cringe.

06:14:52.000 So I'm not like anti-rock.

06:14:54.000 Everybody's always saying that.

06:14:55.000 They're always like, you're the rap guy.

06:14:57.000 I like rap music.

06:14:58.000 It's no secret I love Kanye.

06:15:03.000 But that, you know, that music, the Kid Rock stuff and this country music, it's just, it's like a class thing.

06:15:09.000 This is like, and even a lot of Southern people will tell you that country music sucks.

06:15:14.000 Even a lot of Southerners will tell you that country music has been ruined by the CMA, by Disney.

06:15:20.000 A friend of mine who actually helped build the studio, I don't want to dodge whatever, but he's a big country music fan.

06:15:29.000 I didn't know this.

06:15:29.000 He said the CMA, Country Music Association, is owned by Disney.

06:15:34.000 And he was telling me how they've really ruined music and they've made it very liberal.

06:15:40.000 So, I mean, even they will tell you that.

06:15:42.000 It's not anti-white to say that modern country music sucks.

06:15:45.000 It objectively does.

06:15:46.000 It's corporate pop trash.

06:15:49.000 So, it's just like everything else in the right.

06:15:53.000 They take what the left does and they make it worse.

06:15:57.000 Regular, normal people make rap music, and it's degenerate.

06:16:00.000 And then right-wing people make really shitty rap music, like that, uh, Forgadio Blow, Trump, Trump, Baby.

06:16:08.000 Really?

06:16:08.000 An Ice Ice Baby Trump parody with Amber Rose?

06:16:11.000 They just take everything that normal people do and make it worse.

06:16:15.000 And country music is like that, too.

06:16:17.000 Pop music is actually not bad.

06:16:21.000 The lyrics are bad.

06:16:22.000 A lot of it's bad.

06:16:23.000 But some of it's catchy.

06:16:25.000 Some of it is catchy.

06:16:26.000 It's popular for a reason.

06:16:29.000 And then country music takes that and just makes it worse.

06:16:33.000 They just put in this caricature of what they think white people are out there in the country.

06:16:42.000 And it's just worse pop music.

06:16:43.000 Country music is worse pop music.

06:16:46.000 MAGA rap is worse rap music.

06:16:49.000 The movies we make are just worse movies.

06:16:52.000 Conservatives say, I'm going to make a movie, and they make God's Not Dead.

06:16:56.000 They take a Sean Hannity Fox News segment about a woke liberal teacher fighting with a conservative student, and they turn it into a major movie.

06:17:07.000 That's conservative culture.

06:17:12.000 And it sucks.

06:17:14.000 You know, when Trump sells a shoe, he just takes some shoe from Alibaba and puts a Trump logo on it.

06:17:22.000 It's not actually cool.

06:17:23.000 No one is going to buy that that isn't on True Social.

06:17:27.000 No one's going to wear that.

06:17:30.000 So in terms of clothes, fashion, music, movies, every aspect of conservative culture,

06:17:40.000 It's

06:18:02.000 A conservative movie isn't God's Not Dead.

06:18:04.000 A conservative movie is Master and Commander.

06:18:08.000 And Master and Commander is not about Trump.

06:18:11.000 It's about white guys on a ship.

06:18:14.000 And there's valor, and there's heroism, and there's music.

06:18:19.000 It's actually just a story about people.

06:18:22.000 And Star Wars is conservative culture.

06:18:27.000 Because it has themes about good and evil, and there's a princess that is rescued, and there's a rogue, but, you know, he's able to seduce the woman and make her fall in love, and he becomes a team player.

06:18:41.000 That's the kind of—these are the kinds of timeless things that we need to embrace.

06:18:47.000 That's why the classical architecture has such an appeal.

06:18:49.000 Classical architecture and classical music, that's ours.

06:18:53.000 Classical music is all ours.

06:18:56.000 Classical architecture is all ours.

06:18:59.000 But instead, we want to lean into Kid Rock.

06:19:01.000 Instead, we want to lean into Magga Rap.

06:19:05.000 So... Anyway.

06:19:15.000 Yeah, that's a big part of the problem.

06:19:20.000 What do you mean?

06:19:20.000 You mean my stream's not on the front page?

06:19:22.000 Kind of a weird way to say it.

06:19:23.000 There she is!

06:19:48.000 Thank you, man.

06:19:49.000 Yeah, and I'm surprised at the old heads.

06:19:51.000 I'm surprised.

06:19:52.000 I don't want to name them, but I'm surprised at a lot of the old heads that were there in 2016 that don't see it.

06:20:01.000 They're just right, they're right there back on board.

06:20:03.000 I'm like one of the only old heads who is being honest about what has happened or even maybe has noticed it.

06:20:15.000 Yeah, you would think.

06:20:20.000 You would think after being shot in the face that he would actually stick to the script.

06:20:24.000 It would actually be a really well-written speech and he would stick to it and it would be poetic and, you know, look, he doesn't need to be screaming like when he was a younger man.

06:20:34.000 But where's the gravitas?

06:20:36.000 Where's the gravitas?

06:20:37.000 Where's the solemnity?

06:20:38.000 Where's the

06:20:40.000 Where's the charisma?

06:20:41.000 It just isn't there.

06:20:42.000 It could have been slower and quieter and steadier.

06:20:44.000 I actually thought when he was speaking about what happened that day, I was on the edge of my seat.

06:20:49.000 That was captivating.

06:20:52.000 Then it turned into a stump speech.

06:20:55.000 Started strong.

06:20:56.000 When he said, I'm never gonna talk about it again because it's so painful.

06:21:01.000 That was good.

06:21:02.000 And it was slower and steadier and quieter, but that's okay.

06:21:06.000 He's an old man.

06:21:07.000 He's the elder statesman.

06:21:08.000 We get that.

06:21:11.000 But then it very quickly devolved into another rambling stump speech.

06:21:15.000 Rambling.

06:21:16.000 Unserious.

06:21:17.000 No.

06:21:18.000 Where's the gravitas?

06:21:22.000 It's not there.

06:21:26.000 And that kind of encapsulates the whole problem.

06:21:29.000 There's just nothing serious about this anymore.

06:21:31.000 He's become flanderized.

06:21:34.000 He's become an impression.

06:21:36.000 He's become a bad Trump impression.

06:21:40.000 And if you watched enough of the stump speeches, I don't anymore, but if you did, you could probably do one better than Trump himself does them because he says the same stuff in the same caricature, intonation.

06:21:56.000 It's not dynamic.

06:21:57.000 It's not fresh.

06:21:58.000 It's not.

06:22:00.000 It's just meh.

06:22:01.000 It's just blah.

06:22:03.000 I mean at this point even like DeSantis is a better speaker, which is a sad state.

06:22:06.000 Normally a respecter sent $10, at least watching the you have 6 months then you are going back crowd, relentlessly coping on the timeline and trying to spin this to be an awesome speech was entertaining.

06:22:16.000 I'm so vindicated on that, right?

06:22:19.000 All these people said, oh you betrayed Trump, oh you're disloyal, you just discredited yourself, you're going back, you have 6 months, then he picks Vance.

06:22:31.000 Then we get the Sikh.

06:22:33.000 Then we get Amber Rose.

06:22:35.000 Then we get the Jew Democrat.

06:22:37.000 Now this.

06:22:41.000 You want to know the reason I'm right?

06:22:42.000 Because I'm just honest.

06:22:45.000 I don't need to appeal to anybody.

06:22:46.000 I don't need to kiss anybody's ass.

06:22:49.000 I call like I see it.

06:22:50.000 There's no filter here.

06:22:52.000 So, for years I've been critical of Trump.

06:22:55.000 For years I've been saying this.

06:22:57.000 People didn't want to believe it, but it took them getting absolutely humiliated for some of them to finally have to cope and say, okay, okay, but it's not all bad, you know?

06:23:06.000 And the reason that I'm right and they're wrong is because, one, they're not being honest.

06:23:13.000 Two, they have no original opinions.

06:23:14.000 They're just kind of going with the flow.

06:23:16.000 They're trying to fit in.

06:23:20.000 I called it out from the beginning.

06:23:22.000 After the conviction, I said, I can't take it anymore.

06:23:24.000 I don't care.

06:23:25.000 And I'm just going to say it.

06:23:27.000 And it was an unpopular thing to say at the time, because everybody was drinking the Kool-Aid and saying, oh, you know, this is so great.

06:23:33.000 And I was like, yeah, whatever.

06:23:35.000 So what?

06:23:36.000 It doesn't even matter.

06:23:38.000 And everybody said, wow, what a tactical mistake that is.

06:23:44.000 Now look.

06:23:47.000 So, yeah.

06:23:48.000 You're going back!

06:23:48.000 All these people.

06:23:49.000 You have six months!

06:23:50.000 Yeah, right.

06:23:52.000 Vinsurrection sent $25.

06:23:54.000 He's orange like a cheeto!

06:23:59.000 ObesePenguin sent $10.

06:24:01.000 Did you see Elomay gave a talk at NatCon?

06:24:03.000 That whole side of Twitter glows like crazy.

06:24:05.000 It makes zero sense that people with arguably worse optics and more extreme positions are tolerated so much more than growipers.

06:24:12.000 Sick of right-wing Twitter acting like all of this is normal.

06:24:17.000 Yeah, nobody cares.

06:24:18.000 It's very sad.

06:24:20.000 Nobody cares.

06:24:21.000 It's so conspicuous.

06:24:23.000 Why does the ADL not care about any of these people?

06:24:26.000 Vance follows people that are calling for TND.

06:24:26.000 J.D.

06:24:29.000 Do you know what that stands for?

06:24:31.000 J.D.

06:24:31.000 Vance follows these accounts that are calling for TND.

06:24:34.000 People talked about my comments about Usha.

06:24:37.000 Look at the way the BAP people talk about Indians.

06:24:39.000 Why is the ADL not interested in that?

06:24:41.000 Why is Right Wing Watch not interested in that?

06:24:44.000 Why is the media not interested in that?

06:24:46.000 Why is that okay?

06:24:51.000 It's because they glow, these people.

06:24:53.000 And every one of them gets doxxed, and they're all these academics.

06:24:57.000 None of them are American.

06:24:58.000 They're all Jewish.

06:24:59.000 They're all in favor of colorblind meritocracy.

06:25:04.000 Spence sent $100, I watched the speech itself, not your stream, but I'm sure you also thought it was incoherent and unoriginal.

06:25:12.000 Very disappointing.

06:25:14.000 Other than a nice intro.

06:25:16.000 In 2016 we all remember I am your voice and I alone can fix it.

06:25:19.000 Who will remember drill baby drill 8 years from now?

06:25:22.000 Nobody.

06:25:23.000 Nobody.

06:25:24.000 Everybody can remember build the wall, Mexico's gonna pay for it, the wall's just got 10 feet taller, you'd be in jail.

06:25:32.000 Endlessly quotable.

06:25:35.000 And now it's dro baby dro.

06:25:38.000 So yeah, thanks for the big super chat.

06:25:40.000 Yeah, my thoughts exactly.

06:25:42.000 Chad Champion sent $20.

06:25:44.000 Maybe Maga was the friends we made along the way.

06:25:46.000 Smile.

06:25:47.000 Literally, that's all we have left.

06:25:50.000 Supreme Groper sent $25.

06:25:51.000 Thank you.

06:25:51.000 No message.

06:25:54.000 Capital Pilot sent $25, well that was depressing but not surprising.

06:25:59.000 So I guess we're getting 4 years of moderate policy with a dash of diversity and inclusion.

06:26:04.000 Business as usual.

06:26:06.000 What a shame.

06:26:07.000 I might actually wear a mask now that I know the street shitters are here to stay.

06:26:11.000 Yup, time to put on the COVID mask.

06:26:15.000 About to be a typist outbreak.

06:26:16.000 Thank you so much man for the big super chat and for your support.

06:26:16.000 Yup.

06:26:35.000 And you know, because you've been there.

06:26:36.000 I was thinking that myself and I was when we played that clip and you heard the screaming from the crowd.

06:26:44.000 You could barely get a word.

06:26:45.000 Trump could barely get a word out because the crowd was on their feet and so energetic.

06:26:50.000 And that's what I was thinking of.

06:26:52.000 The only.

06:26:54.000 I don't know.

06:27:15.000 When we were there on the rooftop bar, and they started playing the music too loud so that we couldn't do our speeches, and I got up there, and I'm like, they're turning the music up, but we could be louder!

06:27:28.000 That was the loudest thing I've ever heard.

06:27:30.000 Like, when people started screaming after that, it was deafening.

06:27:34.000 And it wasn't even that many people, we had to downscale it significantly.

06:27:38.000 It was supposed to be like five times as many people.

06:27:41.000 We had to size it down because we couldn't find a replacement venue big enough.

06:27:46.000 But it was packed.

06:27:48.000 People were shoulder to shoulder, spilling out onto the stage.

06:27:52.000 And it lit up.

06:27:53.000 And when they tried to push us out, people were fighting.

06:27:57.000 And I don't like fighting.

06:27:58.000 I don't like violence.

06:27:59.000 I'm glad that everybody showed restraint.

06:28:02.000 But people were trying to shut us down because they cared.

06:28:05.000 Because there's still pressure.

06:28:06.000 It's still alive.

06:28:09.000 It's not inert.

06:28:12.000 And so when they shut it down, there were fights.

06:28:15.000 People were pissed.

06:28:16.000 People were getting up.

06:28:17.000 And they were fighting for me.

06:28:19.000 They were fighting for the movement.

06:28:21.000 They were fighting for what we're about.

06:28:23.000 You know, there was that bodybuilder, Ian Smith.

06:28:27.000 It was scaring me.

06:28:29.000 He got up to the security guard and got in his face, pointing.

06:28:32.000 The security guard was shitting his pants because this guy is jacked with the beard.

06:28:36.000 And he was saying,

06:28:38.000 You know, he was swearing and saying, you're a traitor and you better do the right thing.

06:28:43.000 And this big black security guard was shitting his pants, wouldn't even look him in the eye.

06:28:49.000 Because that's how much people care.

06:28:54.000 And people are fighting with, and it wasn't like a brawl broke out or anything, but there was shoving and there was, it was intense.

06:29:03.000 And only this movement inspires that kind of intensity.

06:29:06.000 When you go to CPAC and Turning Point, nobody cares.

06:29:08.000 You could do Turning Point in the middle of Detroit.

06:29:10.000 There's no protests.

06:29:12.000 Nobody even cares.

06:29:14.000 Nobody even cares enough to protest.

06:29:16.000 No one cares enough to shut it down.

06:29:18.000 No one's getting in fights.

06:29:19.000 First of all, they're all 100 years old, so no one's getting in fights there.

06:29:23.000 Second of all, the young people that are there have no balls and they don't care enough to get in fights.

06:29:29.000 They're all there to get high and get drunk and get laid.

06:29:32.000 That's what they're there for.

06:29:34.000 When you go to AFPAC, it's a mish.

06:29:36.000 It's a mission.

06:29:38.000 When you go to AFPAC, you're afraid.

06:29:42.000 Is it going to happen?

06:29:44.000 We might get doxxed.

06:29:45.000 There's going to be strife.

06:29:48.000 But people say it's worth it.

06:29:51.000 I'm going to make it my mission to go to AFPAC because we got to show up and fight.

06:29:56.000 And when they stand in our way, people are there and they're charged up because they care about the issues.

06:30:02.000 They care about the movement.

06:30:04.000 They're not there for some ancillary reason.

06:30:07.000 It's energy.

06:30:08.000 It's intensity.

06:30:10.000 It's the opposite of apathy.

06:30:12.000 Nobody is apathetic about AFPAC.

06:30:15.000 It leaves a mark.

06:30:16.000 It's like a meteor hit the city of Detroit when we showed up.

06:30:21.000 Yeah, Turning Point was there.

06:30:23.000 Yeah, they did their thing.

06:30:24.000 Guess what?

06:30:25.000 Nobody cared.

06:30:26.000 Big deal.

06:30:27.000 But AFPAC was like, not literally, but we were setting fires all over the city, figuratively, in people's hearts, right?

06:30:35.000 People hate us.

06:30:37.000 People love us.

06:30:38.000 People are there fighting for us.

06:30:41.000 So you're absolutely right.

06:30:42.000 Thank you for the huge super chat and thanks for your support.

06:30:46.000 You're a good guy.

06:30:47.000 And you know what?

06:30:48.000 It's a young movement.

06:30:49.000 You're a young guy.

06:30:50.000 It's young people.

06:30:52.000 It's about young people.

06:30:53.000 That's who we're after.

06:30:54.000 We're after the next generation.

06:30:56.000 This situation is cooked.

06:30:58.000 But here's the white pill.

06:31:00.000 Everybody that follows me, the average age is 18.

06:31:04.000 Okay?

06:31:05.000 The average age of my followers is probably 18 to 20.

06:31:10.000 So yeah, it sucks right now.

06:31:14.000 But in 10 years, everybody that follows me will be in power.

06:31:18.000 Everybody that follows me will be the professionals that are running the movement.

06:31:22.000 So there's more battles to fight.

06:31:25.000 That's the good news.

06:31:27.000 But I appreciate the big super chat.

06:31:29.000 It's little consolation after something as heartbreaking as that, but it's true.

06:31:33.000 Hitting the Kwan sent $15.

06:31:34.000 Only voting for Trump is a fuck you to the retotypes and freaks who shit on us for years.

06:31:38.000 Why?

06:31:39.000 I have no hope or excitement about Trump himself.

06:31:42.000 Sad.

06:31:43.000 Who even cares?

06:31:43.000 They're all on our side now.

06:31:45.000 You know, Cat Turd?

06:31:46.000 What's more Reddit than Cat Turd?

06:31:48.000 They're on our side.

06:31:49.000 Dude, Elon Musk voted for Trump.

06:31:51.000 What's more Reddit than Elon Musk?

06:31:54.000 And I love Elon.

06:31:55.000 You know I love Elon.

06:31:56.000 Don't ban me!

06:31:58.000 But I mean, what's more Reddit than Dogecoin, okay?

06:32:01.000 Like, I love him.

06:32:03.000 He's a lovable millennial, or what is he, Gen X, but...

06:32:07.000 You know, you say you're voting to stick it to Reddit.

06:32:09.000 Reddit is behind Trump now, okay?

06:32:11.000 Reddit is pro-Trump.

06:32:12.000 Yeah, I wish.

06:32:13.000 That would be awesome.

06:32:21.000 Baby shark sent $100, thank god Trump is fine, god bless Trump, we love him and he is great ally to my leaders, they share same view of peace and prevent world of any wars, nobody want war in our region even though Iran is like Zionists, I'm sure Trump will not do a war against her beloved Iran and will restrict freedom of decadence and solve immigration issues of her country, I wish Trump all the luck!

06:32:43.000 Thank you for the big super chat.

06:32:46.000 I don't know about all that, but I appreciate the support.

06:32:49.000 BaseDollar sent $100.

06:32:51.000 Thank you, Nick.

06:32:52.000 W's.

06:32:53.000 Thank you for the big super chat.

06:32:55.000 Yeah, W's in the chat.

06:32:58.000 BooglyWoogly sent $20.

06:32:59.000 You're not being too hard at all.

06:33:02.000 Anyone still shilling Trump without any attempt at course correction is no different, TickTards.

06:33:07.000 Thanks for telling the truth despite the pressure.

06:33:10.000 Thank you, man.

06:33:12.000 Yeah, I'm glad you appreciate it.

06:33:14.000 Thank you.

06:33:15.000 Oh, you're so... You're so naive.

06:33:37.000 I envy you, I used to be like you.

06:33:39.000 Z sent $50, love the show.

06:33:42.000 Stick to the message.

06:33:44.000 Try to be less negative we are winning folks over just let god work.

06:33:47.000 Trump was almost killed, not even supposed to be at the RNC.

06:33:51.000 That outcome would have been so much worse.

06:33:53.000 Imagery you showed of 16 and 24 is striking how different 16 was awesome.

06:33:58.000 Awesome monologue at the end of the show yesterday.

06:34:02.000 Thank you, but we have to be negative.

06:34:04.000 Somebody has to be courageous enough, even though it's unpleasant, to say the truth.

06:34:11.000 I wish I could be positive, but there's nothing positive to comment on.

06:34:17.000 Trump lived on Saturday.

06:34:19.000 He was unharmed, thank God.

06:34:22.000 But now he needs to run the country, and we have to be honest.

06:34:26.000 It's unpleasant.

06:34:27.000 I don't like it.

06:34:29.000 Nobody likes it, but it's the truth.

06:34:32.000 It's brutal.

06:34:33.000 I know.

06:34:33.000 It's hard to hear.

06:34:34.000 That's why people say you can't handle the truth.

06:34:36.000 It's difficult to hear.

06:34:38.000 It's hard to hear that.

06:34:39.000 It hurts your feelings.

06:34:42.000 We wish it weren't so, and yet we have to have sobriety.

06:34:45.000 It's what I've always said.

06:34:46.000 It's about sobriety.

06:34:48.000 We can't get drunk on

06:34:51.000 This whole charade.

06:34:54.000 We have to be sober minded about these things because it was that drunkenness that made us blind to the vulnerabilities in 2016.

06:35:02.000 We were all high in 2016 on the energy and on the excitement.

06:35:07.000 We didn't realize what was happening under our noses.

06:35:09.000 I wish there was more of a reality check.

06:35:13.000 And there was.

06:35:14.000 You know, we didn't listen.

06:35:18.000 And they have a saying, fool me once, shame on you.

06:35:22.000 I don't think there's anything wrong with being fooled the first time.

06:35:29.000 We have to give some people a chance.

06:35:31.000 We gave him a chance.

06:35:33.000 We see the results.

06:35:35.000 Now it's time for the brutal truth.

06:35:37.000 He's been in this for eight years.

06:35:38.000 If not now, then when?

06:35:39.000 When is the time for honesty?

06:35:42.000 So that's how I feel.

06:35:44.000 I know it's negative.

06:35:45.000 I wish it wasn't negative.

06:35:46.000 I wish it was positive.

06:35:47.000 But it's a very bad situation.

06:35:49.000 And notice nobody is disagreeing with me.

06:35:52.000 It's either delusional cope or it's just tone policing.

06:35:57.000 Nobody is defending what's being said here because it's indefensible.

06:36:00.000 Nobody's defending what has happened because it's indefensible.

06:36:04.000 It's lame excuses and it's tone policing.

06:36:06.000 And that means you're wrong.

06:36:08.000 And we need to be right.

06:36:10.000 So I'm less interested in everybody feeling good.

06:36:14.000 I'm less interested in, you know, selling Trump.

06:36:18.000 I'm not a salesman.

06:36:19.000 I'm not paid by Trump.

06:36:21.000 I'm not a salesman for Trump.

06:36:24.000 I'm not trying to sell anybody on a political party.

06:36:27.000 Okay, everybody's like, come on, if you say that, then people will vote for Trump.

06:36:31.000 Well, good news for me, I'm not a Republican.

06:36:33.000 I'm not part of the party.

06:36:35.000 The party disavowed me.

06:36:37.000 And I'm, you know, I really don't get any love from Trump.

06:36:40.000 He disavowed me, or rather, he did not disavow me, and I appreciated that.

06:36:45.000 But, you know, it's not like

06:36:49.000 I'm welcome in those spaces.

06:36:50.000 They wouldn't let sneak go in Mar-a-Lago because of his association with me.

06:36:54.000 So I'm not really interested in selling Trumpism.

06:36:57.000 So, you know, why would I be coping?

06:37:00.000 Why would I be trying to explain away or rationalize some of the mistakes?

06:37:05.000 And if I thought there was some bigger agenda being served, I would tell you that.

06:37:10.000 I wouldn't be sneaky about it.

06:37:12.000 But this is just honest.

06:37:13.000 And nobody is able to defend what's going on.

06:37:15.000 All they're saying is, well, he's old.

06:37:18.000 Well, what can you expect?

06:37:20.000 Well, we need to win moderates.

06:37:23.000 Well, these are excuses.

06:37:25.000 Well, maybe, maybe he's just hiding.

06:37:25.000 These are lame excuses.

06:37:29.000 They're like, maybe it sucks, but maybe he's hiding his real beliefs.

06:37:32.000 That's delusional.

06:37:34.000 OK, so it's either delusional cope or people say you're too negative.

06:37:39.000 Well, I'm not wrong.

06:37:41.000 You might not like it.

06:37:42.000 It might be unpleasant to hear, but it's not untrue.

06:37:44.000 You know, what you're really complaining about is you don't like how it is.

06:37:47.000 But don't take it up with me.

06:37:49.000 Take it up with your party.

06:37:50.000 Take it up with this with this movement.

06:37:52.000 I'm not running for president here.

06:37:55.000 Richard Lyman sent $100.

06:37:57.000 Reminds me of Hank Hill.

06:37:59.000 Christian rock doesn't make rock better.

06:38:01.000 It just makes Christianity worse.

06:38:03.000 Right-wing music is as bad as left-wing memes.

06:38:06.000 The right can't write or something.

06:38:07.000 Thank you for the big super chat.

06:38:09.000 I agree with that, um, cartoon.

06:38:12.000 Salient point.

06:38:15.000 Yeah.

06:38:16.000 There's, there's right-wing music.

06:38:18.000 It just doesn't call itself right-wing music.

06:38:20.000 It's just music.

06:38:21.000 You know, it's just not talking about trannies and, uh,

06:38:26.000 Gratuitous sax and things.

06:38:28.000 There's a lot of right-wing music out there.

06:38:30.000 Truth Will Prevail sent $10.

06:38:32.000 The Bible never calls Jesus a Jew.

06:38:34.000 The Republican Party needs to abandon the Israel cult and submit to the King of Kings.

06:38:39.000 True.

06:38:40.000 Victor sent $15.

06:38:41.000 When's the last time you heard a build-the-wall chant?

06:38:45.000 They had one the other day.

06:38:47.000 Boss Lurker sent $20.

06:38:49.000 Trump should have said, damn niggas be shootin'.

06:38:51.000 Best show in the world, thanks.

06:38:53.000 Thank you.

06:38:54.000 Rainy days sent $5, so the window is fake?

06:38:58.000 Frown it's night in Chicago.

06:38:59.000 Dallas sent $500, also crazy viewership tonight.

06:39:01.000 Is this the most viewers you've ever had?

06:39:13.000 God bless you, Dallas, putting the show on your back tonight.

06:39:17.000 And this whole week, I really appreciate it, man.

06:39:20.000 Everybody, let's get an 07 for Dallas.

06:39:23.000 Biggest supporter of our RNC coverage.

06:39:26.000 Yeah, this is, well, it's not the most viewers I've ever had.

06:39:29.000 I had more viewers on DLive during the election night.

06:39:35.000 But yeah, I think this might be, this is certainly an all-time high on Rumble.

06:39:39.000 Cozy, YouTube, and it might have even been the second biggest stream I ever had on DLive.

06:39:46.000 On election night, I had like 70,000 in 2020.

06:39:51.000 So yeah, this may be one of my biggest streams of all time.

06:39:54.000 So yeah, thank you very much for the huge super chat and I appreciate everybody tuning in.

06:39:59.000 Certainly is one of the biggest ever.

06:40:01.000 So, it's a good sign.

06:40:04.000 All is not lost because I'm here.

06:40:06.000 This movement is here.

06:40:08.000 Johnny Bravo 7 cent $20.

06:40:11.000 It's insane to see Destiny openly doubling down on his incitement of political violence.

06:40:15.000 This is the guy who's the face of the left-wing streaming world.

06:40:19.000 Thank God that side is losing its credibility.

06:40:21.000 Love you, man.

06:40:23.000 Yeah, it's pretty wild that liberals went all in on Destiny.

06:40:27.000 Even conservatives did.

06:40:28.000 They went all in on Destiny being a representative of the left, and then he turned out to be... Well, he always was.

06:40:34.000 He always called for homicide against conservatives.

06:40:37.000 He's just being honest about it now.

06:40:39.000 So, it's been a spectacular crash out.

06:40:42.000 It must be studied.

06:40:44.000 But it's delicious, and I'm loving it.

06:40:47.000 That's how bad it's always been.

06:40:47.000 Wow.

06:40:49.000 That's the personnel problem.

06:40:50.000 There used to be this joke in Washington during the first administration, during the first term.

06:41:13.000 People used to say that if you worked on the Trump campaign, it made you less likely to get hired in the Trump White House.

06:41:19.000 They'd say that your interview would be over if you mentioned that you worked for the Trump campaign.

06:41:25.000 So this isn't new.

06:41:26.000 This has been the problem for a long time.

06:41:29.000 And everybody within the administration who's a patriot knows that.

06:41:33.000 And you telling me that confirms it's no different now.

06:41:36.000 It's the same as before.

06:41:38.000 None of the problems were fixed.

06:41:39.000 Thank you, man.

06:41:54.000 It was!

06:41:55.000 It was awesome!

06:41:56.000 And hey, thank you, man!

06:41:57.000 I appreciate it.

06:41:59.000 Yeah, it was... Is this THE Ryan Rivera from Censored?

06:42:04.000 If it is, you're a good guy.

06:42:07.000 Maybe it's another... It's a very common last name, but... Yeah, that was an incredible weekend.

06:42:13.000 Having an organic crowd show up like that, materialize out of the blue at an event like that.

06:42:18.000 Pretty substantial crowd, and get up on there.

06:42:21.000 With the megaphone yelling about Israel and Henry Ford and Christianity and then doing that rooftop thing.

06:42:29.000 It was awesome.

06:42:30.000 The whole the whole week was unbelievable.

06:42:34.000 They're just not doing that anywhere else anymore.

06:42:36.000 It's kind of sad.

06:42:37.000 Protest at GROI percent $50.

06:42:38.000 God did work on Saturday to quote my favorite Mormon missionary.

06:42:42.000 We can't expect God to do all the work.

06:42:45.000 True.

06:42:46.000 Tibetan Grove sent $30.

06:42:48.000 Nick thanks for making the RNC tolerable to watch.

06:42:51.000 Your commentary was golden.

06:42:53.000 You are the future.

06:42:54.000 Thank you, man.

06:42:55.000 Yeah, I'm glad I could make it watchable for some of you, because I would not be watching it if I wasn't streaming it, and I know a lot of you wouldn't either.

06:43:02.000 BaseDollar sent $500.

06:43:03.000 They should be thanking you.

06:43:05.000 Will you run in 2036?

06:43:06.000 Whoa!

06:43:07.000 Thanks for the huge super chat, BaseDollar.

06:43:10.000 Let's get an 07 for BaseDollar in the chat.

06:43:14.000 I don't know if I'm gonna run for office.

06:43:16.000 I mean, I think about it, but I also think I'm cooked.

06:43:19.000 Think about everything I've said.

06:43:22.000 Think about everything I've said in the course of this show.

06:43:25.000 Now maybe within 10 years, that will all be mainstream, but then again, maybe not.

06:43:30.000 So, I think about running for office, but I think I'd just be really unpopular.

06:43:36.000 But I'd like to think, sometimes I think I could do it.

06:43:39.000 I'm likable, I'm funny, I would get a lot of media attention and I'd use it to get everybody on my side.

06:43:45.000 But then sometimes I think I'm too cooked.

06:43:48.000 My reputation has been destroyed too much.

06:43:51.000 But never say never.

06:43:52.000 I would never say never about that.

06:43:54.000 So, we'll see.

06:43:58.000 I'd have to be doing a lot of... It would take a long time to get on the on-ramp for something like that and rework some of my positions.

06:44:09.000 But hey, never say never.

06:44:12.000 Sergei Lewis said $20, it appears politics in America is simply managed decline.

06:44:17.000 The left and right want a quibble about how fast the country should crash into a wall and what language to use before impact.

06:44:23.000 The people who get behind this distorted version of MAGA are being brought back on the reservation.

06:44:28.000 That's 100% right.

06:44:29.000 I know!

06:44:29.000 Well said.

06:44:29.000 I was at Boston University.

06:44:29.000 Same!

06:44:50.000 I came into class the following day to my—it was a Wednesday, so it was a discussion section of this literature class, and I had this Jewish woman professor who was in a small group, and I came in with my MAGA hat, and I was like, we fucking won!

06:45:06.000 You know, not actually, but I was like, let's go!

06:45:09.000 And she literally pulled me outside instantaneously.

06:45:12.000 She's like, I let you wear that hat in my class.

06:45:15.000 I let you wear that.

06:45:17.000 You need to be respectful today.

06:45:18.000 She was literally crying.

06:45:19.000 I was like, jeez, alright.

06:45:22.000 Relax, he's your president now.

06:45:27.000 And I went out to Harvard.

06:45:29.000 I went out to the Harvard quad with a buddy of mine who was Assyrian.

06:45:34.000 And some guy ripped my MAGA hat off my head and went running, and my Assyrian friend went running after him and grabbed him by the collar and held him up against the wall.

06:45:43.000 I was like, give me the fucking hat back!

06:45:45.000 That's the kind of stuff that was going on.

06:45:47.000 Me and my buddy, we're like, oh, we're going to go and go and troll the liberals.

06:45:50.000 We jumped on the T. We went on the red line, big mistake, to Harvard over to Cambridge.

06:45:56.000 We got off and

06:45:59.000 Everybody was trying to kill us.

06:46:01.000 On the train, there were these homeless people, and they're like, oh, you're with Trump?

06:46:06.000 Oh, we're going to kill you the next stop.

06:46:09.000 They're like, we're going to kill you when you get off the train.

06:46:12.000 And we're like, OK, we're out of here.

06:46:14.000 So we left the train.

06:46:15.000 Then we ran into a bunch of black people, and they're like, make America great again?

06:46:19.000 Yo, fuck Trump!

06:46:21.000 And there was almost a riot in the subway.

06:46:23.000 We had to get out of the subway.

06:46:25.000 Then we got on the quad and some black guy ran and grabbed my hat and ran away.

06:46:30.000 Like I said, me and this big brown Assyrian guy went running after him, got the hat back.

06:46:39.000 And we were talking to some African immigrant.

06:46:41.000 He was like, oh, that's not cool.

06:46:46.000 So that's how it was back then.

06:46:47.000 I remember during the election night viewing party, we went to all the viewing parties, of which there were several, with the Trump flag, with the hats, and there was this, like, Sudanese woman in a hijab, and she was crying.

06:47:02.000 And we're like, fuck yeah, dude.

06:47:05.000 Four years, bitch.

06:47:07.000 Four years.

06:47:08.000 Trump is your president.

06:47:12.000 I wonder, remember that video of Sam Hyde?

06:47:20.000 You have no place in America!

06:47:22.000 It's for everyone!

06:47:23.000 Where's that video?

06:47:48.000 Anybody remember it?

06:47:49.000 Man, I wish I had that clip.

06:47:59.000 Where's that video?

06:48:00.000 I wonder if I could find it.

06:48:01.000 I probably not.

06:48:02.000 You can't find anything now.

06:48:14.000 And he went up to this lesbian.

06:48:15.000 He's like, four years, bitch.

06:48:18.000 It was so good.

06:48:20.000 Here it is.

06:48:22.000 Here it is.

06:48:22.000 I got it.

06:48:25.000 This was a good, this is classic.

06:48:33.000 It's over.

06:48:33.000 Despair.

06:48:34.000 You're saying it's not over?

06:48:36.000 You gonna rally in four years and take over?

06:48:38.000 I'm gonna rally every day.

06:48:55.000 I've spent hours making this sign.

06:48:57.000 You guys, how long does that sign take?

06:48:59.000 10 minutes?

06:49:00.000 I mean, come on!

06:49:02.000 It's a terrible sign.

06:49:03.000 I've spent hours making this sign.

06:49:05.000 You know, she didn't, like, she only, she didn't, when she married Bill Clinton, she didn't change her name, and that ended political pressure, because she was stuck in white.

06:49:13.000 So what?

06:49:14.000 Who cares about her name?

06:49:15.000 My argument is to ask her back.

06:49:19.000 It's fine as long as it's you.

06:49:20.000 How is that any different from Germany saying that Jews needed to leave the country or... I don't know, it sounds similar.

06:49:27.000 Why did you come today?

06:49:28.000 I came...

06:49:35.000 Oh, such a different time, you guys.

06:49:37.000 You youngsters.

06:49:39.000 You just don't know.

06:49:40.000 Truth will prevail sent $15.

06:49:42.000 Chances are that Trump won't radicalize, but he can be used to point to the right.

06:49:47.000 It leaves a spot open for someone like you.

06:49:49.000 He's 78.

06:49:50.000 He is not our future.

06:49:52.000 Hopefully so.

06:49:52.000 You are.

06:49:54.000 Harry Sisson sent $10.

06:49:56.000 You need to run for state rep in that one town they make documentaries about being the most racist town in America.

06:50:01.000 Good idea!

06:50:02.000 I believe that she will!

06:50:04.000 I believe that she will!

06:50:06.000 I believe that she will win!

06:50:07.000 I believe that she will win!

06:50:55.000 I believe that she will win!

06:50:56.000 I believe that she will win!

06:50:57.000 I believe that she will win!

06:50:58.000 Man, ah man.

06:51:01.000 The good old days, huh?

06:51:03.000 Based Mountaineer sent $10, Jim Justice is a boomer, and approaching 400 pounds, but in defense of my old coach, he's also a multi-billionaire, 6 foot 8 inches tall, a Christian, and a real human being.

06:51:16.000 I do get how he comes off, though.

06:51:19.000 LOL.

06:51:20.000 Love ya man, thanks for these long streams.

06:51:22.000 Hey, thank you, man.

06:51:23.000 Yeah, he seems alright.

06:51:24.000 It's just the fatness is a little too much, but yeah, he seems like not a bad guy.

06:51:28.000 Based Mountaineer sent $10, and for what it's worth, I have it on solid advice that Baby Dog is a longtime secret grouper.

06:51:35.000 Ah, very good.

06:51:37.000 Baby Dog.

06:51:46.000 We lost.

06:51:47.000 I'm leaving the country, I swear to God.

06:51:50.000 I was going to go to Mexico, but then I decided Canada would be better for me to leave to.

06:51:58.000 And it's not because I don't like Mexicans.

06:52:01.000 I'm not racist, but I just like Canada more.

06:52:04.000 It's got a better vibe.

06:52:06.000 Better like... Don't take this off camera.

06:52:10.000 Better like cool hipster restaurants.

06:52:12.000 But in Mexico they do like gang killings and like beheading people and like cutting... Have you ever gone on Live League and seen the guys that cut the shirt off and they pull it?

06:52:21.000 No!

06:52:21.000 I had narcos.

06:52:23.000 Country is for everyone!

06:52:26.000 Dude!

06:52:26.000 This is not... You are the one!

06:52:28.000 You are so bad!

06:52:30.000 I was not surprised.

06:52:31.000 Good, I'm glad.

06:52:32.000 You have no ethics whatsoever!

06:52:36.000 Degenerate.

06:52:38.000 Pete!

06:52:39.000 Your seats are full of paint.

06:52:44.000 There's no place to get there.

06:52:50.000 Yeah, hopefully so.

06:53:18.000 Hey!

06:53:18.000 Hey, thank you!

06:53:19.000 Thanks for the super chat.

06:53:19.000 Yeah, remember he did it to fuel his addiction and race mixing isn't wrong and neither is being gay, so I think Sketch would be perfect.

06:53:25.000 He's the face of...

06:53:45.000 A Trump voter, right?

06:53:47.000 Forced into doing OnlyFans by addiction.

06:53:49.000 But it's not bad to race mix.

06:53:52.000 Who says it's wrong to be a gay man with a black boyfriend and you're sketched and you do OnlyFans, huh?

06:54:00.000 I mean, literally, how is that any different?

06:54:02.000 So far, the GOP

06:54:04.000 At the RNC, they had a porn star on OnlyFans.

06:54:08.000 Check.

06:54:09.000 A race mixer's the vice president.

06:54:11.000 Check.

06:54:13.000 And the chair of the RNC said that it doesn't matter if you're gay or straight.

06:54:17.000 Check.

06:54:18.000 Check, check, check.

06:54:19.000 So why would Sketch not be allowed at the RNC if we have no problem with any of that?

06:54:24.000 Remember, they all defended Amber Rose.

06:54:26.000 They all defended Usha against the racist attacks.

06:54:32.000 And they all defended the exclusion of traditional marriage from the platform, so... All right.

06:54:36.000 Okay, that's our last Super Chat.

06:54:39.000 That's our last Super Chat.

06:54:40.000 That's gonna do it for me tonight.

06:54:57.000 That's gonna do it for our coverage of the RNC.

06:55:00.000 Tough week this week, okay?

06:55:01.000 Long, boring week.

06:55:03.000 But thanks everybody for tuning in.

06:55:05.000 I appreciate all the support this week.

06:55:07.000 It's not over, okay?

06:55:09.000 I'm a young man.

06:55:10.000 We still have a lot of game left, okay?

06:55:13.000 But that's it for tonight.

06:55:14.000 Remember to smash the follow button and like the video here on Rumble.

06:55:20.000 We had record viewership all week, so God bless you guys.

06:55:23.000 America First is still alive, even though Trump is no longer with America First.

06:55:29.000 Normally, I'm on the air Monday through Friday at 8 o'clock Central, 9 o'clock Eastern.

06:56:15.000 The American people will come first once again.

06:56:41.000 America first!

06:56:44.000 America first!
