Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the chairman of the Republican National Committee, Michael Watley of North Carolina.
Good evening.
As we prepare to open our final session for the 2024 Republican National Committee, I feel
compelled to note this has been a pretty awesome convention.
We've heard from governors, senators, members of Congress, candidates, and leaders from
across our great party.
We've heard from real Americans who've shared their stories of loss and heartbreak, of their
bravery, and their vision for a better America.
We've heard from the Trump family, Donald Trump, Jr., Laura and Tiffany, you have all
been incredible, almost as good as the president's granddaughter, Kai.
And we've heard from the next vice president of the United States, Senator Jay D. Vance.
I also feel compelled to note, once again, that it is a miracle that we are here tonight.
The fact that Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania just days
ago, and is here tonight to accept his nomination, is proof that we are all protected by the
hand of a mighty God.
We have a lot of work to do in this election cycle.
Tomorrow, we will all go back to our respective states, roll up our sleeves, and get to work
to win this election.
But first, we have some business to attend here tonight.
Are you ready?
Are you ready to hear from the man who has the vision and strength to make America wealthy
again?
To make America safe again?
To make America strong again?
And to make America great again?
Are you ready to hear from the next president of the United States?
And let's get this show on the road.
I hereby open the final session of the 2024 Republican National Committee.
Offering today's invocation, please welcome B.J. James McLaughlin from Des Moines, Iowa,
delegate at large for Iowa.
Good evening.
If you bungle raising your children, nothing much matters.
Jackie Kennedy's words speak louder today than when she said them over 60 years ago.
And this is why we gather on this historic occasion, isn't it?
We as parents and grandparents would move heaven and earth to protect our children
and the opportunities that a strong, free America offers them.
Raising our children is the single most important job we have, which is why we dedicate endless
hours organizing, volunteering, and advocating on behalf of President Trump.
We owe it to our children to give them the kind of America we all remember growing up
again, the proud, patriotic, and safe America that President Trump wants for all of us.
Thank you.
At home every night, when we finish our prayers, we finish our prayers with the prayer to
St. Michael.
We pray for all the children, our grassroots warriors, our country, and President Trump
and his family.
I would like to add my boys, J.J., Jack and George, and God bless you, Kevin.
And President Trump, St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him.
We humbly pray.
And do thou, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan
and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world, seeking the ruins of souls.
Amen.
And God bless President Trump.
Please rise for the presentation of colors.
The colors are presented by veterans for the flag honor guard.
Let's give them a warm welcome.

Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in the Pledge of Allegiance.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for
which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Thank you, thank you, and may God bless our great nation.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Chairman
chairman of the National Republican
Senatorial Committee, United States
Senator Steve Danes of Montana.
Wow, how about that National Anthem
sung by Mary Melbourne?
I'm U.S. Senator Steve Danes, and I
represent the great state of Montana
right over there.
You know, when I was a kid growing up in Montana,
my grandma taught me an important lesson,
and that is to have a thankful heart
to count your blessings.
So this morning, as I was headed down to breakfast,
I thanked God for my sweet wife's
Cindy of 37 years.
I thanked God for four children and their spouses.
I thanked God for our six grandchildren.
And then I thanked God that in six months,
Joe Biden will no longer be president of the United States.
Now think about this moment we're in here this evening.
It was just five days ago.
We were a quarter inch away from having
a memorial service instead of a nominating convention.
And we thank God here tonight for protecting President Trump.
But we have important work to do because going forward,
we must fight, fight, fight.
And I will tell you, as chairman of the National
Republican senatorial committee,
I'm working with President Trump to win the Senate majority
and to fire Chuck Schumer.
Back in early 2023, President Trump and I met at Mar-a-Lago.
We agreed our highest priority is electing an America
first Senate majority that has his back.
Senators that will stand with President Trump.
And tonight, tonight I want to speak directly to the voters
of West Virginia, of Montana, of Ohio, of Pennsylvania,
of Nevada, of Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Virginia,
and New Mexico.
And here's why, because your Democrat senators
are lying to you.
Look, they talk like moderates, but they vote like radicals.
You'll they say they're with you,
but they vote with Joe Biden.
Never forget, these liberal senators
voted to impeach President Trump twice.
And I will tell you, an America first majority
will stand with President Trump.
These liberal senators allowed millions
of illegal immigrants into our country.
And America first majority will secure the border,
and we're going to build the wall.
These liberal senators shut down the Keystone pipeline.
In America first majority, we're going to drill baby drill.
These liberal senators want to take away
your second amendment rights.
Those are fighting words back in Montana.
And America first majority will protect your precious right
to keep and bear arms.
These liberal senators covered for Biden
after 13 American service members were
killed during his botched Afghanistan withdrawal.
And America first majority, by the way,
I'm the son of a US Marine, and America first majority
is going to stand with our military.
These liberal senators stood with anti-Semitic mobs.
In America first majority is going to stand with Israel.
And look, these liberal senators want boys in girls sports.
I'm the father of two daughters.
They want men in your daughters and my daughters locker room.
And you know, they can't even define what a woman is.
But let me tell you something.
Back in Montana, we know the difference
between a bull and a cow.
We must replace these liberal senators
with great Republican leaders,
like Jim Justice and Baby Dog in West Virginia.
Like Tim Sheehy in Montana.
Like Bernie Moreno in Ohio.
Like Dave McCormick in Pennsylvania.
Like Sam Brown in Nevada.
Mike Rogers in Michigan.
Eric Hovey right here in Wisconsin.
Hong-Kao in Virginia.
Nella Domenici in New Mexico.
And of course, Carrie Lake in Arizona.
We must elect an America first senate majority.
That will stand with President Donald J. Trump.
But look, right now, the left-wing billionaires
are massively outspending us.
That's what's keeping me up at night.
And we need your help.
You can go to senate24.com.
Senate24.com today.
Help us fight back.
Because together, we're going to win back the senate.
We're going to grab that gavel out of Schumer's hands.
We're going to deliver historic victory for President Trump.
And we're going to make America great again.
God bless you.
We're going to make America great again.
We're going to make America great again.
We're going to make America great again.
We're going to make America great again.
We're going to make America great again.
We're going to make America great again.
We're going to make America great again.
We're going to make America great again.
We're going to make America great again.
We're going to make America great again.
We're going to make America great again.
We're going to make America great again.
We're going to make America great again.
We're going to make America great again.
We're going to make America great again.
And we're going to make America great again.
Yeah, there was Frankie Lam and Bobby for the Midster Battle.
Game of luck, Jackie knows her, she has a young rascal.
Game of luck, she's about that on my fellow lead.
We don't forget James Brown.
I came into U.S.A.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the chairman of the National Republican Congressional
Committee, Congressman Richard Hudson of North Carolina.
My name is Richard Hudson and I'm a congressman from North Carolina.
Great to see my North Carolina folks over here. Also want to acknowledge my
brilliant amazing smoking hot wife Renee who worked four years in the Trump White
House. She's here with us tonight. Love you. I love you too AJ. I also want to
acknowledge my son Lane who's at home watching this on TV and finally I want
to acknowledge God above who redeemed this center and on Saturday saved
President Donald Trump's life. Now my job as then our CC chairman is to grow the
House majority. But in my district of North Carolina, we have the largest
military base in the world. Fort Bragg, home of the airborne and special forces.
The men and women there, the men and women at Fort Bragg are willing to give their
lives for the flag. And if they make that ultimate sacrifice, that same flag
accompanies them home on that final journey. They deserve a commander-in-chief
who respects them and who honors their service. Ladies and gentlemen, Donald
Trump is that commander-in-chief.
You see, Donald Trump loves America. He literally embraces the flag. But extreme
Democrats, they'll burn it in the streets and on college campuses. Joe Biden and
Kamala Harris, they stand with those flag burners because they want to rule
over you. But House Republicans, we stand with President Trump. We stand for
America and we stand up for the flag.
Because House Republicans understand we don't rule over you. We work for you.
In just the last two years, House Republicans have passed a historic border
security bill that would lock down Biden's open border. We passed legislation
on leash energy production and lower cost. We passed legislation to remove
woke indoctrination from our military. We passed the parents bill of rights
because we think parents ought to make decisions about how their children are
educated. And we impeach Biden's failed border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas.
But Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer killed those bills and blocked any progress for
the American people. For the last two years, House Republicans have fought
alone. Ladies and gentlemen, we need backup. To save America, we need to grow
our majority. And we need President Donald Trump back in the White House.
A Republican House is also essential to ensuring Donald Trump's success as our
President. Can you imagine? Can you imagine what Nancy Pelosi's protege,
Hakeem Jeffries, would do if he was Speaker of the House to undermine Donald Trump?
If Democrats control the House, they'll block every tax cut, budget, border bill,
and crime bill that he proposes. They'll hold sham investigations and hearings to
bog down his agenda. They'll impeach him for doing his job. But we're not gonna
let that happen. Together, a Republican House and President Donald Trump will
preserve the historic Trump tax cuts and eliminate taxes on tips. Together, a
Republican House and President Donald Trump will fund the police. We will rebuild
our military. We will stand up to Communist China. And ladies and gentlemen,
we will finish the wall. A House majority will make Donald Trump's second term even
more successful than his first. So let me ask you, let me hear from you. Who can we
count on? Who can we count on to return us to unprecedented American prosperity?
Who can we count on to stand up to our enemies? Who can we count on for a secure border and
safer neighborhoods? Absolutely right. We can count on President Donald Trump. So let's
work together. Let's elect President Donald Trump. Let's grow our House Republican
majority together. We can make it happen. Thank you. God bless you. God bless Donald
Trump and God bless America. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome American
businesswoman Diane Hendricks. Good evening. My name is Diane Hendricks. And I'm living
proof that the American dream is possible with hard work and determination. I grew
up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin. I was one of nine girls, no boys. I dreamed of moving
to the city and wearing a blue suit. But at the age of 17, I became pregnant. That was
not part of my plan. But I truly believe that every life is a sacred gift from God.
And I give thanks every day for my son. As a single mom, I worked two jobs to pay the
bills. I found my passion in the field of real estate, which is still my passion. When
I met my husband, Ken, he was a roofing contractor. And together, we saw an opportunity and a
need to develop a distribution chain. And we risked everything we had to start that
company. Today, ABC supply employs over 22,000 Americans. We are the largest roofing distributor
in the country. But what's even more important is we are creating these jobs right here in
the United States of America. I lost my husband 16 years ago. It was the toughest time in
my life. Thank God I had our seven children to be my support. But I had to decide whether
to fight or fold. And I chose to fight. Since then, I've quadrupled the size of our companies.
And to my surprise, I was recently just recognized as the most successful self-made woman in American
history. So to all of you aspiring entrepreneurs out there, if I can make it, you can make it
too. My success story as a teenage mom without a college degree was only possible because I was so
blessed to be born in the United States of America. But today, the American dream is under threat. Since
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris took over the offices, prices have risen over 20%. Aspiring
entrepreneurs can't afford to take out a loan at 7, 10, 15% interest. Regulations have surged and the
administration has proposed 7 trillion in tax increases. I know how hard it is to build a company
from nothing. And we need a president who understands that too. We need a builder back in the White
House. Someone who will cut the job killing regulations, lower taxes on working families, and give the
power back to the American people. In life, it's easy to quit. And it's very hard to win. President
Trump is not a quitter. He's a fighter. And I am confident that if we do all of our part, we can and
we win. We'll win right here in Wisconsin. And he will win for America over the next four years.
Thank you. God bless you. God bless America. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome this Diane Evans
volunteer and Republican executive committee woman from Palm Beach, Florida.
Hello Milwaukee. My name is Diane Evans. I'm a volunteer with more than a thousand hours working for the
Trump campaign since last year. If you told me I'd be here five years ago, I just said you're crazy. But
here I am. And I'm very excited to reelect Donald Trump as president of the United States this November.
I've never spoken at a convention before. I've never used a teleprompter before. But I figure if Joe Biden can, I
can manage all right. I'm pretty new to politics. I voted my whole life. But I've never got involved as a
volunteer. I was busy raising my family, spending time with my husband, starting a small business, and
walking the dog. Moms are busy people. When it came to politics, I always figured let everybody else take care of it. But
then the 2020 election happened. After that, you better believe I got involved. I joined my local Republican
executive committee. And when Trump headquarters asked for a volunteer to help with office staff, I started showing
up whenever they needed me. Or if they didn't need me, I showed up anyway. I showed up once a week and did little
things like refilling coffee creamers, anything that they needed, even taking out the garbage. And now I'm helping to take
out the garbage at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. As long as I can remember, these politicians have said what they think we
want to hear, then they do just what the hell they want. And Joe Biden has been the worst offender for the last 50
years. President Trump is different. I knew he would get things done for the American people, and he did. He isn't part of the swamp. He's
going to drain the swamp. The Democrats are going to do everything in their power to stop him. We can't rest for a minute.
If you're not sure how to get involved, reach out to your local Republican Party. And most important, get out and vote Republican on
November 5th. Tell 20 people to tell 20 people to vote. That's how we can get our landslide. And they can't cheat or
rig their way out of a landslide. I know that together, we can win. We can all take out the garbage in Washington, D.C. And we can make America
great again. God bless President Trump. And God bless Team Trump. And thank you so much. I'll see you all out there.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the 25th administrator of the United States Small Business Administration, Linda McMahon.
Thank you. Well, hello, Milwaukee. And good evening, America. Let me take one second to say hello to my fellow delegates from Connecticut.
My name is Linda McMahon, and I am the chair of the America First Policy Institute. I'm perhaps one of the few people who's been privileged to call Donald Trump a colleague and a boss, but he's also a friend.
Let me share a little story that's probably not the typical Donald Trump story. I had a meeting scheduled with him at Marlago. And as he welcomed me, his little four-year-old granddaughter ran up to him.
He scooped her up with delight and asked her, who's the most beautiful girl in the world? And she said, me. Then he asked, and who do you love the most in the world?
And she said, you, grandpa. And he kissed her on both cheeks. Then she whisked off his hat and must his hair.
And he smiled with the love that only a grandfather could have given.
I first met Donald Trump when I was the CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment.
For fun, he became part of some of the most compelling and highest-rated storylines in the company's history.
And when he became president, I was honored to serve in his cabinet, running the Small Business Administration.
I traveled to country, talking to business owners and job creators. They knew they had a president who understood them and fought for them.
He knew that small businesses are the engine of the American economy, and the Trump tax cuts proved to be like rocket fuel for them.
Almost every business owner I spoke with was using their tax savings to grow their businesses.
And ladies and gentlemen, the U.S. economy was flourishing.
But no moment during my time in the government was more poignant for me than one that happened in 2018.
I traveled with the president to view the destruction which Hurricane Florence had levied on my hometown of New Bern, North Carolina.
I stepped off of Air Force One and walked side-by-side with the president of the United States.
Through the hangar where my father had been a shop foreman and my mom had been a budget analyst.
I watched Donald Trump walk through neighborhoods of my childhood, comforting those who had suffered such great damages.
Because he was a builder, he talked to them about what it would take to rebuild, what kind of materials they should use.
And he didn't just show a personal interest, he was one of them.
But now Joe Biden and the Democrats want to penalize small businesses again by hiking their taxes.
But when he's reelected, Donald Trump will make those tax cuts permanent.
And he will also offer new tax cuts like no taxes on tips.
Instead of taxing American companies, Donald Trump put tariffs on China that raise billions of dollars in protected American industries.
And if reelected, he'll do it again.
President Trump is a job creator and the best friend American workers have ever had in the White House.
He is a champion of the forgotten men and women, as I have experienced firsthand.
But the media doesn't like to acknowledge that very often.
Donald Trump is not only a fighter, ladies and gentlemen, he is a good man.
He has the heart of a lion and the soul of a warrior.
And I believe that if necessary he would stand at the gates of hell to defend our country.
He loves this country and he would do anything to defend it and to protect us from all harm.
I am confident that he will make America great again and why? Because he did it before.
So I ask all of you here tonight and those of you who are watching from home to re-elect Donald J. Trump as the 47th President of the United States.
Thank you, good night.
Everywhere you look, the Trump economy crushes the Biden economy. Gas prices, they were low under President Trump, then skyrocketed under Biden.
And credit card fees have increased 50% under Biden.
Grocery store prices, everything from meats and vegetables to apples, now astronomical under Biden.
Take home pay, up six grand under President Trump.
Under Biden, Americans' income has gone down three straight years.
Mortgage rates, they were low under President Trump.
Now they're punishing under Biden and personal and retirement investments, up 40% under Trump.
Under Biden, your investments fell along with other things.
President Trump, he'll make America's economy strong again.
You're the best in summer, you can see a bit of the best.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
The 70th United States Secretary of State
Mike Pompeo
Good evening, my fellow Americans.
It's great to be with you.
A special shout out to Kansas over there, my good friends from Kansas.
You know, I had the incredible privilege to serve as President Trump's CIA Director
and Secretary of State.
It was my greatest honor to work with him every single day to serve you the American
people.
Now you all are paying attention, so you know what the Trump administration achieved,
but it's worth going through a few of these accomplishments.
Let's start with this.
There were no new American wars.
Our border, our southern border closed.
It may seem like a long time ago, but when we took office, there were people's heads
being cut off at the beaches.
We destroyed ISIS and it's caliphate.
And you know, you know, here's another fun fact.
We never lost our Secretary of Defense for two weeks either.
You'll remember, for those four years, the evil of Vladimir Putin was held at bay.
When we walked out January of 2021, the Iranian regime was afraid and the people of Israel
were strong and secure.
And we treated like the friend and ally that they need to be.
Everywhere we went, everywhere we went, religious freedom was protected.
We held three summits in North Korea and North Korea was quieted.
We had begun too.
We'd begun an honorable exit from Afghanistan.
Not a single Chinese spy balloon flew across the United States of America, four years.
I've been the Secretary of State and the Chinese spy balloon flew across our country.
I would have been the former Secretary of State and rightfully so.
You know, under President Trump, the Chinese Communist Party, which to this day presents
the greatest threat to our nation from outside of our country.
We confronted it like never before.
Look ladies and gentlemen, in short, we put America first every single day.
42 months on what it's Joe Biden and Kamala Harris done and their leftist handles.
What have they delivered to us for security and prosperity?
Almost nothing.
Let's start with this.
You saw some of them last night, 13 new gold star families from Afghanistan.
As an Army veteran, I want to speak to everybody who served in Afghanistan.
I'm disgusted by the Biden administration's incompetent pullout from that country.
To those of you who served there, know this.
Know that your service was honorable, that you saved American lives and that the Pompeo's
love and admire you for what you did for America.
Thank you and God bless each and every one of you.
Every one of you has served in uniform and the families of those you deserve a president,
a president who will not check his watch while he is honoring our fallen brothers and sisters.
It was indecent.
And of course, it was that very weakness, that very weakness we saw in Afghanistan that prompted
Putin's butchery in Ukraine.
Last week we saw what it meant, a children's hospital bombed, innocence killed.
It did not have to be.
And now, of course, a second war in Gaza.
President Biden won't even talk about the fact that Americans are still being held there
by the Iranian regime.
Contrast that.
Contrast that with what we did, what Americans were wrongfully held.
President Trump sent me to North Korea to bring home three American pastors.
We brought them home.
We brought them home along with dozens of others, dozens of other hostages.
And we did so without paying one single penny to the terrorists.
And what about Iran today?
When Joe Biden eased up on President Trump's maximum pressure campaign, we gave money to
the Ayatollah so he could cut more checks to the genocidal maniacs who conducted attacks
barbaric attacks in Israel.
And now, of course, closer to home, a massive national security challenge.
Our southern border is a welcome mat.
It's a welcome mat for Islamist terrorists, drug dealers, Chinese spies, and violent criminals.
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.
I had this incredible privilege to serve as your top diplomat.
I saw how the world always looks to our nation as the unrivaled example of what a free society
should look like.
But unfortunately, President Biden struts the global stage.
Maybe I should say he shuffles the global stage.
He talks a big game about American values.
But what's he done at home?
What's he shown the world?
What if he and his leftist base actually shown other nations?
He's censored free speech here at home.
He's put woke into the military that I and you so desperately love.
We must reclaim it.
He put it in our schools as well.
He's weaponized the justice system against our political opponents.
And even to this day, as we sit here today, he and Vice President Harris are providing
appeasement to the pro-Hamas radicals on our streets here inside the United States.
And even worse, today this administration treats illegals better than our own citizens
that is indecent.
And the entire administration, the entire administration, has failed to tell us the truth.
The truth that we all know and is so dangerous to our nation.
The truth that Joe Biden can't handle that 3 AM phone call.
Indeed, he won't take a phone call after about 4 PM.
My call to you tonight is really straightforward.
It's really simple.
We can't trust the Biden administration.
And that means we have work to do to uphold American values.
It is up to those of us in the room tonight and those of you watching tonight.
Donald Trump will every day I saw it firsthand, he will put America first.
So let's do what's right and what's important.
Let's select a president who isn't ashamed of our nation and will never apologize for
our country.
And when we do, and when we do, we will put a strong America first leader back in the
White House, will re-elect Donald J. Trump and we will make America special, exceptional,
and of course, great again.
Thank you.
God bless you.
God bless our veterans and the United States of America.
Thank you all.
Thank you so much.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Pastor Lorenzo Sewell from Michigan.
My name is Pastor Lorenzo Sewell.
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.
Let's go.
Can you imagine it?
Can you imagine President Donald Trump coming to a city and calling a pastor like me, a
pastor who was born and raised on the east side of Detroit?
I was mentored by murderers.
I was a student of the street, but I had a radical experience with Jesus Christ that
changed my life forever.
Come on.
If you believe that Jesus still changed lives, come on, put your hands together and give
our great God, great glory.
President Trump came to a church that is in a democratic stronghold.
He came to a church to listen to average, everyday Americans like you and like me.
He came to a church not to speak to us, but to listen to us.
He came to a church and a lot of people, they were upset.
A lot of people, they would ask me questions.
Why would you allow Donald Trump to come into your church?
How many know that the Bible says we are all sinners and we all need the grace of God?
How many know that the Bible says he who has not sinned, let him cast the first stone?
President Donald Trump, he came during his birthday weekend.
Let me ask you a question, grand old party, what would you do for your birthday if you
were worth $6.7 billion?
What would you do for your birthday?
Would you come to Detroit?
Would you come into the hood?
He came to the hood because he cares about average, everyday Americans.
Grand old party, I need to ask you a question.
What would you ask for your birthday if you could go to Marilago or if you could go to
New York?
What would you ask for your birthday?
He asked for prayer.
I believe that prayer is preventative and prayer is proactive.
I believe that praying in the name of Jesus changes everything.
And when we prayed for President Trump, only God knew that 30 days later, there would be
a miracle by a millimeter.
Only God knew that if we prayed for him during his birthday, there would be a miracle by
a millimeter.
If President Trump had moved one millimeter, he wouldn't have been here on Monday to talk
to us about how America was going to be made wealthy again.
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.
If President Donald Trump would have moved just a millimeter, he wouldn't have been here
on Wednesday to tell us how he was going to make America strong again.
And if President Trump would have moved just a millimeter, we would not be hearing tonight
how he was going to make America great again.
Before I take my seat, I just got to talk to you about something called provenance and
something called sovereignty.
But sovereignty is his ability to be able to do what he wants when he wants because
he's God and God's providence.
It's when he does what he wants, when he wants for all of you.
Did you know that President Trump was shot on the 611?
And do you know that Ephesians chapter number 6 verse number 11 says be strong in the Lord
and in his mighty power?
To all my Democrat friends, I want to ask you one question.
Do you know anybody that was the 45th president, he was convicted of 34 accounts.
He raised $53 million in 24 hours and could be the 47th president of the United States
in America and he was shot one time, do you know anybody like that?
To all my friends back in Detroit who are Democrats, I want to ask you just one simple
question.
You can't deny the power of God on this man's life.
You can't deny that God protected him.
You cannot deny that it was a millimeter miracle that was able to save this man's life.
Could it be that Jesus Christ preserved him for such a time as this?
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.
Could it be that the king of glory, the Lord God strong in mighty, the God who is mighty
and battle protected Donald Trump because he wants to use him for such a time as this.
If you believe that, come on, put your hands together and give our great God a great glory.
You can't stay there and I'm sure you will find many ways to have a good life.
It's fun to stay at the YMCA, it's fun to stay at the YMCA, it's fun to stay at the YMCA.
It's fun to stay at the YMCA, it's fun to stay at the YMCA, it's fun to stay at the YMCA, it's fun to stay at the YMCA.
You can't get yourself free and nothing happens to me. You can do whatever you feel.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the next President of the United States, President Donald J. Trump.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome John Neaporte from Florida.
It's an honor to be here this evening. I'm the PGA head golf professional at Trump International Golf Club in Palm Beach, Florida.
We all know that President Trump loves his family because we see that and we all know that President Trump is willing to die for our country because we just witnessed that.
But what I'm here to tell you tonight is that Donald Trump is a great boss and one hell of a golfer.
At our club championship in March, I watched President Trump hit a perfect 210 yard foreiron to within 10 feet of the hole.
Yep, he needed to sink that putt to win. Do you think he sank it?
You better believe you sunk that putt.
Donald Trump, 21 club championships, Joe Biden, zero.
For non-golfers out there, that's a pretty good record. That's real good. That's not good. That's great.
Twenty-five years ago, I was working multiple jobs and one of those jobs was caddying at Trump International.
And that's where I met Mr. Trump.
My caddie job eventually would turn into a full-time job.
One day, I was out caddying for Mr. Trump when he mentioned to me that he needed to find a teaching pro.
He knew I could play, so he said, tomorrow, dress like a golfer and come out and play golf with me.
So in true Mr. Trump fashion on the first tee the next day, tees up his ball, whacks it right down the middle of the fairway.
And I turned to him and I said, hey, I'm pretty nervous. And he said, John, you just relax and play your game.
And it was great advice, because after nine holes he turned to me, he said, I've seen enough. You've got the job.
Thank you.
Later, I went on to become the head golf professional, and I'll never forget that moment when Mr. Trump be truly changed my life.
That's who Donald Trump is.
For 25 years, I've seen his generosity and his remarkable character.
First hand, his entire family reflects these values as well.
With all the hate the president gets, I think to myself, how can someone go through all this?
He could have chosen a quiet life. He could have played more golf.
But he cares so deeply about America and our people.
He just keeps working, and he does it for us.
Now it's our turn to support him.
So let's help him. Let's hear it.
Make America great again.
That's it.
Thank you, President Trump, for believing in me and in our country.
As much as I'll miss him in the clubhouse, we need to vote him back in the White House. Thank you very much.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, President Trump.
I'm Zach Wickoff. I am deeply honored to stand before you tonight and introduce my father.
This moment holds special significance as I'm about to become a father myself.
Thank you.
The nation my son is born into in December will be shaped by the choice we make this November.
I saw my father's remarkable journey from relying on a small loan to becoming one of the country's most successful developers.
He showed me that success comes from hard work, not handouts.
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.
That's how he started, too.
I vividly recall him spending New Year's Eve fixing a broken sewage tank with a bear of a man named Shecky.
You see, they couldn't afford to call in a crew. They were the crew.
Years later, Shecky was still by my dad's side and he became my first boss.
He once told me he would run through a wall for my dad because my dad never asked him to do anything that he wouldn't do himself.
And that's exactly how my family feels about our dear friend, President Donald J. Trump.
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.
Even after getting hit by live sniper fire, he stood with us, my fellow Americans, and that is why we stand with him.
And you know what? He makes it fun, too.
President Trump and the First Lady were the guests of honor at my wedding at the beautiful Mar-a-Lago Club.
The President tore up the dance floor until three in the morning with his signature moves.
You guys know those moves.
The essence of what my dad taught me, hard work, unwavering loyalty, and perseverance, that is the essence of Donald Trump.
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.
God bless America, God bless Donald Trump, and God bless the greatest nation on earth, the United States of America.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to present my father, Stephen Wakeoff.
Good evening, everybody.
That song that you just heard was American Trilogy by Elvis.
It was playing for a reason.
A lot of people don't know this about my dear friend, President Trump.
But he's a big music guy, and he's got a playlist, and he's the DJ wherever he goes.
See, I stand before you tonight, not just as a speaker, not just as someone who came up as a builder with the President in the world of real estate,
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.
And of all the songs he has shared with me over the years, that is the song that best captures him, especially those words his truth is marching on.
I thought of that song after my dear friend was shot a few days ago.
I gave him a call.
I expected to leave him a voicemail, so it surprised me when he answered the phone.
His first word surprised me as well.
He just come within an inch of his own life ending, but he picked up the phone and said,
Hi, Steve, I'm really glad you called.
How are you? How are your kids?
It surprised me, but it shouldn't have.
I know this man very well.
President Trump is as kind and compassionate a man as I've ever met my lifetime.
I've seen the truth of President Trump and it marches on with me tonight.
I know that many here and watching at home have felt that kind of a connection with the President.
It's real.
I have never seen him refuse a question from somebody, decline a photo, or ignore someone's story or concerns.
Everyone he meets gets a family member's embrace from him.
I have felt that warmth so many times over the years.
Just last week, I told the President about a moment I had with his three sons and how impressed I was with them.
He looked at me with a wishful smile, blowing a kiss, and it was a special moment between us his fathers.
When my dad fell gravely ill, President Trump didn't just send a note.
He didn't just offer words of comfort.
He showed up as he always does.
He was there, treating my parents with kindness and respect.
Including my mom, who's 91 and here tonight dressed in red and is going to be voting for the President.
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.
That's who he is.
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.
Thank you.
When I lost my boy Andrew to an opioid overdose, the pain was unbearable, but as usual, Donald Trump showed up.
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.
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.
My boy was the best of us.
Where we lived in New York City, a Trump building, 502 Park Avenue, there were 12 homeless people who stayed outside by the church next to the property.
My son got to know them all.
He fed them every evening.
He became their friend.
When he passed away, all 12 came to his funeral.
He and President Trump shared something in common.
My boy stood up for people, no matter which side of the train tracks they came from, exactly as the President does for everybody.
Thank you.
Standing here today, I still feel my boy's hand on my shoulder.
After Andrew passed away, I found myself clinging to my son's memory, even his things.
His college ID is in my pocket right now.
I wear his ring since he died.
And I came today with his watch on.
I kept his guitar.
I kept his guitar, too, and thought I would keep that guitar forever.
But I gave it to my dear friend, Andrew's friend, and fellow music lover, Donald Trump.
I wanted President Trump to have something with which to remember my son.
President Trump didn't say something nice to me and put it in a closet somewhere.
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.
A sacred tribute to a true friend who is gone and a cause that remains opioid abuse.
Thank you.
Standing here today with my boy's hand on my shoulder, I know I'll never hear his music again.
His mom and I can only hear the cords of memory now, and we will always hear them.
But I know my dear friend, President Trump, hears them, too.
You don't see this man's reverence, his steady loyalty, his true empathy in the TV coverage.
But this is the truth about President Trump, the man I have come to know and admire and love, a man whose truth is marching on.
It is a dark hour for America, but there's nobody I trust more in this moment than this man.
A man who in the darkest hours shows up, listens, cares, and always acts.
The kind of man we need now to be the 47th President of the United States.
Thank you.
May God bless you all.
May God bless President Trump and his extraordinary wife and his wonderful family.
And may God bless America.
Thank you so much.
From the very first day that we take back the White House from Crooked Joe Biden, the worst President in the history of our country,
I believe that we're going to have four of the greatest years in the history of our country.
I will once and for all secure our elections.
We're going to go to paper ballots.
We're going to have same day voting, voter ID.
We're going to do it properly.
We're going to have good, secure, beautiful elections.
We never want what happened in 2020 to happen again.
But until then, Republicans must win.
And we must use every appropriate tool available to beat the Democrats.
They are destroying our country.
Finally, you vote early absentee by mail or in person.
We are going to protect the vote.
That's the most important thing we have to do is protect the vote.
Keep your eyes open because these people want to cheat and they do cheat.
And frankly, it's the only thing they do well.
We will make sure your ballot is secure and your voices heard.
Many Republicans like to vote on Election Day and we must swamp the radical Democrats with massive turnout on Tuesday, November 5th.
The way you win is to swamp them.
If we swamp them, they can't cheat.
It just doesn't work out.
But if you can't make it, you need to make a plan, register, and vote any way possible.
We've got to get your vote.
So with your vote, we will win a victory, the likes of which no one has ever seen before.
We will evict Crooked Joe Biden from the White House and we will take back our country on November 5th, 2024,
the most important day in the history of our country.
That's what it's going to go down as.
Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Attorney and Senior Advisor for President Donald J. Trump, Alina Haba.
Good evening, America.
My name is Alina Haba, and I have had the great privilege of representing President Donald J. Trump.
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,
and his commitment to saving this great country.
As a devout Catholic, a proud first generation Arab American woman,
and a feisty jersey girl who is fed up with far left corruption in Washington.
President Trump championed my journey, empowering me to be who I became today.
His unwavering support not only shaped my career, but has inspired other young women with big dreams.
President Trump loves this country.
He does.
And he lifts up those around him.
To my children, Luke, Chloe, and Parker.
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,
and he'll include it in mom's job.
And by the way, he can kick some of those guys' butts.
Ken.
To my husband, whose family members have survived the Holocaust, he is a champion of the Jewish faith.
To my Iraqi parents, he is a mentor to their daughter.
But to me, he is my friend.
Not too long ago, a supporter shouted, God bless you and President Trump in the middle of Manhattan after one of our trials.
Little did that man know that I was on the phone with the President himself.
And he immediately asked me to pause, give the man my phone, and spent time speaking to him and thanking him for his support.
Despite the law fair and the politics, President Trump loves the American people, and he loves this country.
For decades, the Trump Organization transformed Skylines and created thousands of jobs.
His buildings and businesses are a testament to his commitment to excellence and his drive to turn dreams into reality.
But his greatest construction project was yet to come.
The left has tried to demolish President Trump, but there is no bulldozer big enough or strong enough to remove the legacy that he has built or the future he is creating.
As the 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump built a legacy of putting America first.
And as the 47th President, he will build America stronger than ever for we, the people.
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.
A place marked by religious persecution, oppression and a lack of freedom.
They came here because America is a beacon of liberty and opportunity.
It is now our duty to protect the values that define us and keep this the greatest nation on Earth.
Every attack on President Trump only strengthens our movement.
The left's madness is only a sign of desperation.
Sham indictments and baseless allegations will not deter us.
Because the only crime President Trump has committed is loving America.
And America, we are winning.
Outside of his family and our country, President Trump also has another love.
Music. A few years ago, he wanted me to hear a new song he had selected for an upcoming rally.
I could hear it blaring in the background at Merilago.
He landed on a song called, Hold on, I'm coming.
America, we no longer have to hold on. We just have to show up.
So if you're ready to end the Democrat destruction, 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.
The future of America and the world is bright and it begins with the unwavering spirit of each and every one of us.
Because of the resilience and the leadership of my friend, President Donald J. Trump.
So let us not forget that President Trump did not just take a bullet in Butler, Pennsylvania.
He has and will continue to take them for each and every one of us.
God bless President Trump. God bless you all and God bless the United States of America.
I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
Hold on. I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming. I'm coming.
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
Just hold on. I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming.
I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming.
Hold on. I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming.
Hold on. I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming. Hold on.
I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming.
Hold on. I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming.
Hold on. I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming.
I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming.
I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming.
Hold on. I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming.
Hold on. I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming. Hold on.
I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming. Hold on. I'm coming.
Hold on. I'm coming.
Hold on. I'm coming.
Hold on.
Please welcome President Ronald Reagan, who has a few questions for you.
I think when you make that decision, it might be well if you would ask yourself.
Are you better off than you were four years ago? Is it easier for you to go and buy things in the stores than it was four years ago?
Is there more or less unemployment in the country than there was four years ago?
Is America as respected throughout the world as it was? Do you feel that our security is as safe that we're as strong as we were four years ago?
If you don't think that this course that we've been on for the last four years is what you would like to see us follow for the next four,
then I could suggest another choice that you have. President Trump, he'll make America great again.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome journalist, author, and American citizen, Tucker Carlson.
So fun. Thank you.
Oh, this is wild.
Thank you.
Good to see you.
Thank you.
I feel like I know about half the people in the room.
This is wild.
What are you doing? Justin Wells.
Thank you, guys.
Can I just say Peter Navarro is back.
Welcome to Peter Navarro.
Suffering the faith that has happened to so many who are friends with Donald Trump.
Thank you for having me.
I have been to many conventions.
I have never been to a more fun convention or a convention with better vibes.
They literally let Navarro out of prison.
First of all, thank you.
This feels a lot different from what I thought it was going to feel like.
I can't hear you, but I know it's something good.
So I watched the video of what happened in Butler, Pennsylvania about 15, 50 times.
I think I was one of about 8 billion people around the world who watched it.
The more I watched it, the more it struck me that everything was different after that
moment.
Everything.
This convention is different.
The nation is different.
The world is different.
Donald Trump is different.
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.
This was no longer a man.
Well, I think that.
I think it was divine intervention.
The fact that it had on Donald Trump, he was no longer just a political party's nominee
or a former president or a future president.
This was the leader of a nation.
And I think there's a difference.
I mean, I've spent most of my life in Washington where the president is at the top of the pyramid
of Deborah wants to be the president.
But if you think about it, the presidency comes with great power, obviously.
But if you think about it, that is a title that is bestowed by a process of some sort
that can be subverted.
And in the end, it does not confer by itself, as no title does, legitimacy.
Just because you call yourself the president doesn't mean that much inherently.
I can call my dog the CEO of Hewlett Packard.
It doesn't mean she is.
It's true.
And you hate to say it, but it is also true.
It is a fact that you could take, I don't know, a mannequin, a dead person and make him president.
No, you could.
You could.
I'm just saying theoretically possible.
With enough cheating, that could happen.
But being a leader is very different.
It's not a title.
It's organic.
You can't name someone a leader.
A leader is the bravest man.
That's who the leader is.
That is true in all human organizations.
This is a law of nature.
And in that moment, Donald Trump, months before the presidential election became the leader of this nation.
That was the most obvious to me.
And I have to say, you know, I think it changed him.
I, you know, reached out to Trump within hours of it that night.
And what he said to me that night, having Justin shot in the face, he said not a single word about himself.
He said only how amazed he was and how proud he was of the crowd, which didn't run.
And I thought two things.
The first thing I thought was, well, of course they didn't run.
His courage gave them heart.
A leader's courage gives courage to his people.
And the second thing I thought was this is the selfish guy I've been hearing about for nine years.
Really not a word about himself.
About his people, period.
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 like why not,
is that he turned down the most obvious opportunity in politics to inflame the nation after being shot.
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.
And they would have said, well, what is this?
How did he get shot?
Like, how did this happen?
And those are real questions that we have to get to the bottom of.
But in the moments, the days, the week after the shooting, he did not say that.
He did his best to bring the country together.
And I thought this is the divisive figure.
This is the irresponsible person.
You know, this is the most responsible unifying behavior of a leader I think I've ever seen.
So the question is, where is he leading us?
And I could go on for hours, but let me just sum it up.
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,
which is a leader's duty is to his people, to his country and to no other.
That's the point.
That's the only point.
And another word for this is democracy.
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.
They're not renters.
They're not serfs.
They're not slaves.
They are the owners of the country.
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.
Or a close approximation thereof.
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.
And so I think the entire Trump project paradoxically, he's attacked as an enemy of democracy,
a return democracy to the United States.
Hey, let's pay attention to what people actually want.
And the lack of interest in that question in Washington is something that ultimately drove me
out of the city after 35 years.
Lawmakers stepping over the prostrate bodies of their fellow citizens odeing on drugs
to go cast votes to send money to some foreign country.
Yeah, actually, we've lost more Americans from drugs in the past four years than we lost in World War II.
Yeah, our bloodiest war.
More than we lost in World War II.
Does anybody care?
It is pathetic.
It is pathetic.
And do you hear a single word from Washington about doing anything about it?
We know where the drugs are coming from.
We know the supply routes.
The US military spent billions bombing the Ho Chi Minh Trail.
You don't see our commander-in-chief suggesting that we use our military to protect our country
or the lives of its citizens.
No, that's for Ukraine.
And it's too much, actually.
It's too insulting.
It's too insulting.
It's a middle finger in the face of every American.
It's a very clear statement, which is unmistakable.
And that is, we don't care about you.
And Donald Trump, whatever you say about him, and I think he's a wonderful person.
I know him well.
By the way, the funniest person I've ever met in my life, actually.
You can't be funny without perspective or with that empathy, which is true.
But everything else about Trump aside, he actually cares.
Because he's interested in the people who lives here because that's his job.
A father's job, his duty is to his family.
An officer's duty is to his men.
A president's duty is to his citizens.
And he seems to be the only one who thinks that.
And in his choice for vice president, J.D. Vance, he's made that really clear.
J.D. Vance, I'll say this about him, is a thoroughly decent man.
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.
And she's wonderful, actually.
But J.D. Vance has views that are closer to Trump's voters than anyone else in Washington in office.
Therefore, he is the vice president.
That's called democracy.
So I will stop at just one point.
And that is what's happened over the past month.
Since the debate.
And particularly on Saturday in Butler, I think a lot of people are wondering, what is this?
This doesn't look like politics.
Something bigger is going on here.
I think even people who don't believe in God are beginning to think, well, maybe there's something to this.
Actually.
And I'm starting to think, I'm starting to think, it's going to be okay, actually.
I do think that.
The day after the midterm elections in 2018, Antifa came to my house.
The Democratic Party's militia, okay?
I was at work.
It was obvious when I was at work because it was public.
My wife was home alone.
They tried to come in through the front door.
They terrorized her.
She hid in our pantry.
It was on television.
It was horrible, actually.
It was, I mean, I'm not whining about it.
I wasn't getting shot in the face, but it wrecked our day.
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.
She picks it up.
Hello?
Susie, it's Donald Trump.
And it's coming through.
I can hear it.
You know, I'm lying in bed.
Oh.
And the first thing he says is, I'm going to stand guard outside your house.
And she goes, oh, it's so nice.
And he says, I'll never forget this as long as I live.
He says, you know, there's a lot of hate out there.
And she said, you know, there is, Mr. President.
And then he says, but there's a lot of love.
There's a lot of love.
And we are seeing that love.
I don't think it's human love.
And I'll just stop with this.
I'm not always convinced that I'm on the right side.
I've been on the wrong side many times.
You'll never hear me say, I'm on God's side, or God's with me, or even I'm with God.
I want to be.
Not sure I am.
But I will say this unequivocally and conclusively, God is among us right now.
And I think that's enough.
God bless you.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Golf General Manager Trump National Dural,
Kerry Tamosco Ruiz.
I'm not sure how I follow Tucker.
But I'm going to give it a go.
Good evening, everyone.
My name is Kerry Ruiz.
And like some people on this stage this evening, I am not a politician.
I am not a public figure.
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.
12 years ago, the Trump Organization purchased the iconic Dural Golf Resort after so many
companies tried and failed to create a world-class golf experience all while turning a profit.
With his keen eye for business and uncanny ability to make things better, Donald Trump got to work.
He poured hundreds of millions of dollars and his own sweat and tears into the property.
He had a hand in virtually everything and no detail was too small.
He didn't just change the carpet or apply a fresh coat of paint.
He stripped this legendary resort to its core and rebuilt it the right way.
He did the hardest things to make it great again.
He also built up the resort's people.
Thank you, boss.
He empowered us.
He listened to us.
All of us.
And he still does.
No matter your role, he asks questions.
He wants different opinions.
He never demands more of us than he is willing to give.
He is as generous as he is brave.
And to those who work for him, he provides unwavering support.
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.
I am not a golf professional.
I cannot break 90 yet.
But none of that mattered to President Trump.
He looks at things differently.
He welcomes the unconventional.
And I am proud to be among the countless women he's promoted to leadership positions.
I might add he did it all while no one was looking.
The simple truth is no one can match President Trump's vision
and unrelenting drive to make things better.
He did it at Doral.
He did it as President.
He will do it again.
May God continue to bless President Trump,
and may God bless the United States of America.
Thank you.
This is the final battle.
With you at my side, we will demolish the deep state.
We will expel the warmongers from our government.
We will drive out the globalists.
We will cast out the communists, Marxists and Fascists.
We will throw off the sick political class that hates our country.
We will rout the fake news media.
And we will liberate America from these villains once and for all.
Thank you very much.

Hi.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi.
STEPHANIE
Ladies and Gentleman, please welcome advocate for Safe Schools.
Thank you, thank you so much.
Good evening.
My name is Annette Albright.
I grew up in the small town of Mount Airy, North Carolina, North Carolina.
Like my parents and my grandparents, I was a lifelong member of the Democrat Party.
Don't worry, the story gets better from here.
After completing a degree in criminal justice, I started a career working with the North
Carolina Department of Corrections.
I left my job in the criminal justice system to work for Charlotte MacLiburr School District
to engage our youth before they got stuck in the system.
It didn't take long for me to realize that public schools are a part of the problem.
Sadly, too many of our schools are more like prisons than places of learning.
That must change.
In one public high school, I witnessed a full-blown riot.
I saw many violent altercations between students and physical attacks on staff.
During my 14 years working with the Department of Public Safety, offenders never laid a hand
on me, yet I was violently assaulted by a group of students in a public high school.
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.
President Trump reversed the Obama policy and put the safety of our kids first.
Violence on public school campuses should not be a Democrat issue, it should not be
a Republican issue, it is an American people issue.
Sadly, I have repeatedly seen that the Democrat Party cares more about appeasing the teachers
union than they do about prioritizing the needs of our kids.
They champion safe spaces instead of safe schools, this is completely wrong.
Little by little, I begin to see the truth.
While Democrats spend more money on a broken system, Republicans are in power with parents
and fighting for school joys.
While Democrats think school resource officers are a threat to our students, Republicans
know that they protect our kids.
While Democrats won't admit that our schools are failing, Republicans will fix the system
and make our schools safe.
That's why this year, for the first time in my life, I am registered as a Republican.
Thank you, thank you, and in November, I will proudly cast my vote for Donald J. Trump.
Only together, we can make America's schools great again.
Thank you, and God bless America.
Thank you, and God bless America.
Thank you, and God bless America.

Well, let me tell you something, brother.
You know something 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, or maybe
I thought the vibe was so intense, the energy was so crazy, it felt like maybe I was going
to press that no good sticky giant over my head and slam him through the mat, brother.
But what I found out was I was in a room for a real American's brother, and at the
end of the day, with our leader up there, my hero, that gladiator, we're going to bring
America back together, one real American at a time, brother.
You know something, I've seen some great tag teams in my time, Hulk Hogan, and oh, yeah,
the macho man Randy Savage, but you know something, I see the greatest tag team of my life standing
upon us, getting ready to straighten this country out for all the real Americans.
You know even though you guys are real Americans, you better get ready, because when Donald
J. Trump becomes the President of the United States, all the real Americans are going to
be nicknamed Trumpites, because all the Trumpites are going to be running wild for four years.
So with the power of Donald J. Trump in all the Trumpites running wild, America is going
to get back on track, and like Donald J. Trump said, America is going to be great again.
You know when I look out and I see all the real Americans, I think about how Donald Trump,
his family was compromised. When I look out there, and I see Donald Trump, I think about
how his business was compromised. But what happened last week when they took a shot at
my hero, and they tried to kill the next President of the United States. Oh, no, was
enough. And I said, let Trumpomania run wild, brother. Let Trumpomania rule again. Let
Trumpomania make America great again.
You know something, Trumpites. I didn't come here as Hulk Hogan, but I just had to give you a
little taste. You know, my name, my name is Terry Bolea, and as an entertainer, I love you too.
And as an entertainer, I tried to stay out of politics, 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. I'm here tonight, because I want the world to know that Donald Trump is a
real American hero. And I'm proud to support my hero as the next President of this United
States. You know, guys, I've known Donald Trump for over 35 years. You know, hold on a second,
hold on, I just had a flashback. I just had a flashback, man. This is really tripping. You know,
the last time I was up on stage, Donald Trump was sitting at ringside at the Trump Plaza. I was
bleeding like a pig, and I won the world title right in front of Donald J. Trump. And you know
something he's going to win in November, and we're all going to be champions again when he wins.
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. He's always told you exactly what he thought. And he still does,
brother. And no matter the odds, he always finds a way to win. And when he's back in our White House,
America is going to start winning again.
You know, guys, over my career, I've been in the rain with some of the biggest, some of the
baddest dudes on the planet. And I've squared off against warriors. Yes, savages. And I've even
like I said, body slam giants in the middle of the ring. And I know tough guys. But let me tell
you something, brother, Donald Trump is the toughest of them all. They've thrown everything at
Donald Trump, all the investigations, the impeachments, the court cases, and he's still standing and
kicking their butts. You know, we never had it better than the Trump years. Back then, we had a
thriving economy. We had strong borders. We had safe streets. We had peace and respect around the
world. But then we lost it all in a blink of an eye. Crime is out of control. The border is out of
control. The price of food and gas and housing is out of control. And the only person who can
clean this up is Donald Trump. You know, guys, I really, really love this country. And I've lived
the American dream. And I want my kids, your kids, and all those little teeny Hulkamaniacs out
there to live the American dream too. This November, guys, we can save the American dream for everyone.
And Donald Trump is the president who will get the job done. So all you criminals,
all you low-lives, all you scumbags, all you drug dealers, and all you crooked politicians
need to answer one question, brother. What you gonna do when Donald Trump and all the Trumpamaniacs
run wild on you, brother? God bless you. And thank you.
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.
Good evening.
I've got the hardest job and I'd have to follow Hulk Hogan. But I stand here tonight as a private
citizen who loves this country. I've been asked to say a few words and then to pray. And we're
going to do that. Last Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania, President Trump had a near-death
experience. No question. But God spared his life. And when we go through those experiences,
it changes us. It can cause us to examine our lives and to reevaluate our priorities as you should.
When President Trump rose from that platform, he rose with his fist raised in strength,
showing America his unshakeable resolve to fight for them in this nation.
I cannot explain why God would save one life and allow another one to be taken. I don't have
the answer for that. But one thing I do know is that God loves us and he wants us to be with him
in heaven one day. And that's through faith in his son, Jesus Christ. 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. For as long as I've known the President
Trump, I found him to be a man of his word. Things that he said he'll do, he did. When he told me
in our country in 2016 that he was going to appoint conservative justices, guess what? He did.
In 2016, he said he would defend religious liberty. And guess what? He did.
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.
When American citizen and pastor Andrew Brunson was being held in a Turkish jail
on false accusations, President Trump demanded that he be released and he replied economic
pressure and sanctions until they did that. I'm grateful and thankful for what he did as a
45th president of the United States. And I know that as the 47th president, he will keep his word
to the American people to make America great once again.
It's an honor for me to be asked to pray for Donald Trump this evening.
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. Our Heavenly Father, we come before you this evening with grateful hearts.
Thank you for saving the life of President Donald J. Trump. In his own words, it was you
and you alone who saved him. We pray for the others that were injured on Saturday.
For the family who lost their loved one. Put your loving arms around them.
Comfort them and may they sense your presence. We stand before you tonight. We say thank you
for the provisions you have given to the United States of America. You have blessed this country
more than any country in the world. Sadly, as a nation, we are forgotten who is responsible for
all the freedoms, the liberties, and the bounty that we enjoy. It has all come for you. Thank you.
This evening, our nation is in trouble. We're divided politically, racially, economically,
with millions of people seeking refuge and hope in our dry and thirsty land. You're the only one
who can fix the complexity of the problems that we face today. We pray for President Trump
that you would give him wisdom, strength, and a clear vision for the future of this nation.
And the task that is at hand, continue to protect him from his enemies.
I pray that you would surround him with men and women who will give him sound counsel and guidance.
We pray for Melania, for Barron, and for all the President Trump's children and grandchildren.
We pray for Senator J.D. Vance, his wife, Usa, along with their young family. We're thankful
for his strong stand for defending life. As your word instructs, we also pray for the leaders of
our nation. Whether they're Republican, Democrat, or independent, we know that all authority comes
from you. You are a great God, and we ask that if it be thy will that you will make America
great once again. And we ask that you'll unite our hearts, bring us together,
one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. And we pray this in the mighty
name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Amen.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome businessman and executive vice president of the Trump
Organization, Eric Trump.
Good evening, America.
Eight years ago, my father sat our family down. He spoke of a nation in decline,
of dreams slipping away, of a future endangered by failed leadership and broken promises.
It was in that moment I knew my father had made a decision that would forever change our lives.
We realized he had chosen to step into the arena, to fight for the soul of America.
He had decided to leave behind the comforts of an unbelievable business empire,
to leave behind everything he had ever built, to answer the call to serve our nation.
Unlike his predecessor, it was not a decision born out of necessity. Unlike the current president,
it was not a decision that would enrich his family. Rather, his decision made a love for this country
and a deep concern for America's future.
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. Looking back, that was an understatement. 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. 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.
He stood tall, fueled not by personal ambition, but by a profound love for this country
and a love for all of you, the American people. That man is my father. That man is the 45th
president and soon to be 47th president of the United States. That man is Donald J. Trump.
Each time I've stood on this stage, America has been a dire crossroads. In 2016, many people
began to doubt the promise of America. Our economy was struggling. Jobs were scarce.
Our standing on the world stage was weak at best. Veterans were forgotten. Our military was in
shambles. Our educational system was broken, ranked 30th in the world. He could no longer
tolerate an inept administration that handed $150 billion in Iran, a country that chants
death to America, or witness and continue to tax 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.
He could no longer stand to see words like Christmas stripped from public use,
or the Pledge of Allegiance removed from our schools. But my father saw potential where
others saw despair. Donald Trump built the New York City skyline. He did so during a time.
He did so during a time when businesses were turning away from the city he loved.
Crime was rampant. The streets were dirty. But he had the Midas touch, and he turned those streets
and neighborhoods into gold. He faced every challenge with tremendous vision and grit.
As he did during the 2016 election, he rolled up his sleeves. He remained unapologetic. He did
not care to be politically correct. He restored hope. He restored a voice to millions of Americans
who had been ignored. He restored the American dream. Under my father's leadership, the economy
climbed to record heights. Jobs were created at an unthinkable pace. Unemployment reached
historic lows across all demographics. Wage growth soared. He cut taxes for hardworking
families and businesses. He slashed regulations. We saw the greatest 401k increase in American history.
People bought their first homes in an environment that saw 2-3% interest rates. They started their
families. My father made the United States energy independent with the lowest gas prices in decades.
My father made the United States safe. Our borders were closed. There was peace in the
Middle East. Soleimani Al-Baghdadi, the terrorists were dead. 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.
He brought manufacturing back to America. Small businesses flourished. He did what he promised.
He put America first. We were winning. Donald Trump made America great again.
But he also created a movement. A movement that threatened the special interests in the
political elites. A movement that cast a bright light on the institutions weaponized against
the American people. You see it in our schools. God bless the moms who fought back.
You see it in your workplace. You see it on every news station, in every newspaper.
You see it in the military. The most iconic military installations on planet Earth
are stripped of their identity and renamed. Fort Bragg, Benning, Fort Hood. You see it in Hollywood.
You see it in our two-tier judicial system. They don't even hide it anymore.
My father has been censored. The former president ripped off to Twitter,
Instagram, and Facebook, while terrorist organizations remain intact.
My father has been persecuted, targeted by far-left Democrats, funded by special interest groups,
and hand-picked judges. 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,
and what he stands for. My father even became the target of an assassin who almost killed
America's single greatest hope for our future. The swamp is terrified of this
incredible movement. They're terrified of it. They're terrified of you,
and the tens of millions of people watching us on TV right now. They've tried everything to
keep him from you, everything, to destroy his legacy, to destroy his family. They have failed,
and they will not win.
I love my Florida delegation right here.
My father stands before you with the most votes of any Republican candidate in the history of
our nation. He has defied the predictions of every political pundit. He fills stadiums
across our country. He energizes Americans to the issues facing this nation, and does so with
unvarnished honesty. He is not a threat to democracy. He is a threat to those who despise our republic,
many 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.
Today, as it was in 2016, America is at that crossroads again. Energy prices are soaring.
Interest rates are crippling. Everything is unaffordable. The U.S. dollar has been diminished.
Inflation has made it impossible for Americans to live, to save for their future.
Our infrastructure is crumbling. Our border is out of control. Millions are dead and displaced in
Russia and Ukraine, a war that has no end, and a war that we are funding. The Middle East has
become a hornet's nest. Our greatest ally is real, totally under siege. Fentanyl is killing our youth
and destroying families, while the current administration stands idly by hoping their inaction
will import illegal votes. Crime terrorizes our cities and suburbs as far left policies,
handcuffed police. Male athletes, guys, my height, six foot five, are swimming in women's sports.
Destroying the dreams of young girls who have trained every minute of their lives,
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.
In spite of where we are today as a nation, I'd like to speak to every American,
to the homeless veteran, sleeping under a bridge as illegal immigrants are housed in the most
expensive hotels in New York. I'm sorry, we know it's wrong, and we will fix it.
To the single mother who can no longer afford her rent, afford groceries, and has been forced
to work three jobs, I'm sorry, it does not have to be this way. 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, your government can do so much better, and it will.
To the children who are being brainwashed instead of learning the fundamentals of school,
I'm sorry, there are teachers who care and my father will empower them.
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, I'm sorry, we will stand behind you.
To commuters often petrified to take a bus, take a train, or walk the streets in cities
across our nation, I'm sorry, that man right there will fix this.
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.
And to my father, who has been ruthlessly silenced, slandered, and attacked by a corrupt
administration, I'm sorry, we know and America knows that they're not just after you, they're
after all of us, and you just happen to be standing in their way.
To all Americans watching tonight, the greatest retribution will be our success.
Success, not just for ourselves, but for our grandchildren and our children.
Under President Donald J. Trump, the swamp will be drained, America will be respected,
our cities will be safe, our streets will be clean, and our border will once again be secure.
We will have peace. We will have prosperity. Your hard-earned tax dollars will enrich a
better America, not be squandered in corrupt foreign nations. Education will be handed back
to the states. We will no longer be thirtieth in the world. We will be first.
Our children will understand family, our children will have values, and our children will love God.
Our country will prioritize free speech, respect freedom of religion, and honor our constitution.
As his son, I've never been more proud of a person in my life. A man who has defied all odds
more than once. A man who believed in the promise of America when others turned away.
A man who saw a nation in need of a champion, an answer to that call with unwavering determination
and courage. A man who survived a bullet that was intended to eliminate him permanently from our
future and from our family. Never have I been more proud to be a Trump.
Never have I been more proud to stand by my father's side. I remain incredibly
honored to be part of this journey, a journey with all of you. A journey to save the greatest
country on earth. A journey with the most incredible people I have ever met.
Dad, five days ago, Laura, Luke, Carolina, and I held our breath as we saw blood pour across your
face. By the grace of God, divine intervention, and your guardian angels above, you survived.
You are the greatest fighter I have ever seen. You are strong. You are full of life and you are
unapologetic. Your optimism is contagious. Your backbone is unbreakable. Your conviction to fight
for what is right and against all that is wrong is truly next level.
The whole world saw your strength as you stood up. You wiped the blood off your
face 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. You shouted, fight, fight, fight.
I'm honored to be your son. I'm honored to speak to our great nation tonight. You are a true leader.
You have paid my strength. Our country loves you. Our country appreciates you. Our country
misses you. And on November 5th, our country will reelect you as a 47th president of the United
States of America. Good night Milwaukee. God bless you all.

Ladies and gentlemen, the next First Lady of the United States, Mrs. Melania Trump.
The First Lady of the United States, Mrs. Melania Trump.
This is a story as uniquely American as the ideals and freedoms we all cherish.
A story of a life dedicated to dreaming big.
A story about giving back to the people in this beloved city.
But most of all, this is a story about putting his country first.
And it's a story that's told in pictures.
Young and confident, Donald Trump wasn't afraid to think big and build even bigger.
And he left his mark on the New York skyline that greeted visitors from around the world.
But he wasn't just an American entrepreneur, he became a folk hero.
Celebrities and sports stars wanted to be seen with him.
Politicians sought his approval.
And New Yorkers just loved him. And he loved them back. And he gave back.
Just one example, saving the woman's skating rink.
The woman's skating rink in Central Park is open again.
The city spent nearly six years and $12 million trying to fix it.
And then to the rescue, developer Donald Trump.
As Tracy Egan tells us now, he accomplished in three and a half months.
What the city couldn't do in six years.
Donald, you performed a great public service.
There was no denying that Donald Trump was the toast of the town.
But he was also something even more important.
A patriotic American.
And like many others, he was becoming increasingly troubled by the direction of our country.
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.
You've said, though, that if you did run for president, you believe you'd win.
Well, I don't know. I think I'd win. I tell you what, I wouldn't go in to lose.
I've never gone in to losing my life.
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.
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.
But who would ever run for president and leave such a glamorous life?
Appearances in movies, the selling books, a widely popular TV show.
But for Donald J. Trump, the calling to save his country was even stronger.
The mission, more important.
The number of Americans being left behind.
Too large. And so, in Donald Trump fashion,
he announced he was running for president in it to win.
And he did.
From his first day in office,
the Washington politicians learned something about President Trump.
He's not afraid to fight for what he believes in.
They call that having the courage of your convictions.
First up, the Trump tax cuts,
largest in America's history,
and it led to higher take-home pay for working families.
Unfortunately, today, taxes are up and in comes down.
The politicians just never learn.
Next for President Trump, secure our border.
Check.
Miles and miles of wall built.
ISIS and other terrorists deterred.
But now, we have the Barney Fife of border security,
leading to a quarter of a million Americans dead from fentanyl coming in.
Brutal migrant crime spreading across America.
And ISIS, now here.
President Trump promised he'd keep America out of endless wars.
Welcome words to the families of our young men and women who serve.
And another promise kept.
He started by strengthening our military,
then traveled the world, meeting with our allies,
and even with our main adversaries.
Just so they understood that America's strength and resolve was back.
Because that's what a strong commander-in-chief does.
And it led to a stable world at peace, and our troops safe.
Today, a different story.
Our enemies smelled weakness.
Then set the world on fire.
Putin saw it, then invaded Ukraine.
Hamas saw it, then started a war in the Middle East.
There's one more thing we've learned about President Trump.
He believes so strongly in America.
He's 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.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Kid Rock.
What up America?
If you're ready for President Trump to take the stage,
I need everybody to stand up.
I need everybody to put a fist up in the air.
Everybody get a fist up in the air.
Now follow me.
Safe fight, fight,
safe fight, fight,
safe fight, fight,
the central body screams.
The devil was not a cause.
I'm back with the beaver,
the bad David Slacks, 30 pack of straws,
straight rock and roll.
No road gain in the pro paint firm,
but Jones had won.
I'm the living proof with the gift of gas from the city of truth.
You know what damn staff and not critics back,
and I did not start a win.
I said, yeah, I'm going platinum selling rhymes.
I went platinum seven times,
still the air that want to see us fry.
I guess because only God knows why.
Why? Why? Why?
They call me cow boy.
I'm the singer of the black,
throw a fist in the air.
Let me see where you're at.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!
I am Dana White.
I am the CEO and President of the Ultimate fighting Championships.
So, two weeks ago, I got a call from President Trump asking me if I'd be willing to speak
tonight.
As usual, there was no pressure, no demands, he asked me as a friend, and, of course,
I said yes.
Then 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.
Dana, I'm so honored that you will be doing the introduction at the National Republican
Convention.
Think of it as the biggest fight you ever had, a fight for our country, and even the world.
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.
Now, think about this, 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.
That's the President Trump that I know, a man who truly cares about people.
The mainstream media likes to push the narrative that he doesn't care about anyone but himself.
I absolutely know that's not the truth, because I've been friends with this guy for 25 years.
And for the people who know me, they'll know this is true, I just want to make something
very clear.
Nobody in the Trump campaign has ever told me what to say, nobody tells me what to say,
and I'm nobody's puppet.
And I'm not telling you what to think, I'm telling you what I know, and I know President
Trump.
I know President Trump is a fighter.
I've been saying this since 2015, now look at what's happened over the last 10 years.
We have all seen it with our own eyes.
I'm in the tough guy business, and this man is the toughest, most resilient human being
that I've ever met in my life.
The higher the stakes, the harder he fights, and this guy never ever gives up.
So what's at stake here?
The answer is an President Trump's text, and I quote, a fight for our country.
I know why he's running for President again.
Why else would he put himself through everything he's dealt with just to get back here?
We all know he doesn't need this.
This guy's got a great life, he has a beautiful family, and he has achieved everything that
you could possibly achieve in life.
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.
And I know he wants what's best for the American people, all American people.
I know he's running for President to save our American dream.
I'm living the American dream, and I know the American dream is very real.
Whether you were born in this country or came here from someplace else, this is the last
real land of opportunity.
President Reagan once said, government's first duty is to protect the people, not run
their lives.
And if you're buried in government red tape, how will you ever start your own business?
If you're struggling to pay your bills, how can you ever afford to start a family?
And if you don't feel safe in your own town, why would you ever buy a house?
I know President Trump is fighting to save the American dream, and that's what's at
stake in this election.
We are choosing who we want to lead us in this fight.
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.
In my mind, the choice is clear, but this election, we all get to choose.
I know I'm going to choose strength and security.
I know I'm going to choose opportunity and prosperity.
I know I'm going to choose real American leadership and a real American badass.
And I'm not telling you what choice to make, and I'm not telling you what to think.
I'm telling you what I know.
I know America needs a strong leader, and the world needs a strong America.
I know Donald J. Trump is the best choice for President of the United States.
My fellow Americans, it is my honor to introduce the 45th and soon to be 47th President of
the United States, Donald J. Trump.
Thank you very much, and thank you very much, and thank you very much, and thank you very

thank you very much, and thank you very much,
thank you very much, and thank you very much,
and thank you very much, and thank you very much,
and thank you very much, and thank you very much,
and thank you very much for being here,
and thank you very much, and thank you very much,
and thank you very much, and thank you very much,
And thank you, Dana.
Thank you, Kid Rock.
Sometimes referred to as Bob.
And thank you, Lee, right from the beginning.
Thank you very much.
What a talent.
What a beautiful, beautiful song.
Thank you.
Friends, delegates and fellow citizens, I stand before you
this evening with a message of confidence, strength,
and hope.
Four months from now, we will have an incredible victory.
And we will begin the four greatest years in the history
of our country.
Together, we will launch a new era of safety, prosperity,
and freedom for citizens of every race, religion,
color, and creed.
The discord and division in our society must be healed.
We must heal it quickly.
As Americans, we are bound together by a single fate
and a shared destiny.
We rise together, or we fall apart.
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.
So, tonight, with faith and devotion,
I proudly accept your nomination for President
of the United States.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
And we will do it right.
We're going to do it right.
Let me begin this evening by expressing my gratitude
to the American people for your outpouring of love
and support following the assassination attempt
at my rally on Saturday.
As you already know, the Assassin's Bullet came
within a quarter of an inch of taking my life.
So many people have asked me what happened.
Tell us what happened, please.
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.
It was a warm, beautiful day in the early evening
in Butler Township in the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Music was loudly playing, and the campaign was doing really well.
I went to the stage and the crowd was cheering wildly.
Everybody was happy.
I began speaking very strongly powerfully and happily
because I was discussing the great job my administration did
on immigration at the southern border.
We were very proud of it.
Behind me and to the right was a large screen
that was displaying a chart of border crossings under my leadership.
The numbers were absolutely amazing.
In order to see the chart, I started to, like this, turn to my right
and was ready to begin 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, I said to myself,
wow, what was that?
It can only be a bullet and moved my right hand to my ear,
brought it down, my hand was covered with blood.
Just absolutely blood all over the place.
I immediately knew it was very serious that we were under attack
and in one movement proceeded to drop to the ground.
Bullets were continuing to fly as very brave secret service agents rushed
to the stage and they really did.
They rushed to the stage.
It was a great people, had great risk, I will tell you,
and pounced on top of me so that I would be protected.
There was blood pouring everywhere and yet in a certain way I felt very safe
because I had God on my side.
I felt that.
The amazing thing is that prior to the shot,
if I had not moved my head at that very last instant,
the assassins bullet would have perfectly hit its mark
and I would not be here tonight, we would not be together.
The most incredible aspect of what took place on that terrible evening
in the fading sun was actually seen later in almost all cases,
as you probably know, 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 were stampeded, but not in this case.
It was very unusual.
This massive crowd of tens of thousands of people stood by and didn't move an inch.
In fact, many of them bravely, but automatically stood up looking for where the sniper would be,
they knew immediately it was a sniper, and then began pointing at him.
You can see that if you look at the group behind me,
that was just a small group compared to what was in front.
Nobody ran and by not stampeding, many lives were saved,
but that isn't the reason that they didn't move.
The reason is that they knew I was in very serious trouble.
They saw it. They saw me go down.
They saw the blood and thought, actually, most did, that I was dead.
They knew it was a shot to the head.
They saw the blood, and there's an interesting statistic.
The ears are the bloodiest part.
If something happens with the ears, they bleed more than any other part of the body.
For whatever reason, the doctors told me that life said,
why is there so much blood?
He said, it's the ears. They bleed more.
So we learned something, but they just...
They just this beautiful crowd. They didn't want to leave me.
They knew I was in trouble. They didn't want to leave me.
You can see that love written all over their faces.
APPLAUSE
Incredible people.
They're incredible people.
Bullets were flying over us, yet I felt serene.
But now the Secret Service agents were putting themselves in peril.
They were in very dangerous territory.
Bullets were flying right over them, missing them by a very small amount of inches.
And then it all stopped our Secret Service sniper from a much greater distance,
and with only one bullet used, took the assassin's life, took him out.
APPLAUSE
I'm not supposed to be here tonight.
Not supposed to be here.
APPLAUSE
Thank you.
But I'm not, and I'll tell you,
I stand before you in this arena only by the grace of Almighty God.
APPLAUSE
In watching the reports over the last few days, many people say it was a
providential moment, probably was.
When I rose surrounded by Secret Service,
the crowd was confused because they thought I was dead,
and there was great, great sorrow.
I could see that on their faces as I looked out.
They didn't know I was looking out.
They thought it was over.
But I could see it.
I wanted to do something to let them know I was OK.
I raised my right arm, looked at the thousands and thousands of people
that were breathlessly waiting and started shouting,
fight, fight, fight.
Thank you.
Once my clenched fist went up, and it was high into the air,
you've all seen that, the crowd realized I was OK and roared with pride
for our country like no crowd I have ever heard before.
APPLAUSE
Never heard anything like that.
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.
Tragically, the shooter claimed the life of one of our fellow Americans,
Corey, comparator, unbelievable person.
Everybody tells me.
Unbelievable.
And seriously wounded two other great warriors, spoke to them today.
David Dutch and James Copenhagen, two great people.
I also spoke to all three families of these tremendous people.
Our love and prayers are with them, and always will be.
We're never going to forget them.
They came for a great rally.
They were serious trumpsters, I want to tell you.
They were serious trumpsters, and still are.
But Corey, unfortunately, we have to use the past tense.
He was incredibly, he was a highly respected former fire chief, respected by everybody,
was accompanied by his wife, Helen, incredible woman.
I spoke to it today, devastated, and two precious daughters.
He lost his life selflessly acting as a human shield to protect them from flying bullets.
He went right over the top of them and was hit.
What a fine man he was.
I want to thank the fire department and the family for sending his helmet, his outfit,
and it was just something, and they're going to do something very special when they get it.
But we did something which cannot match what happened, not even close.
But I am very proud to say that over the past few days, we've raised $6.3 million.
For the families of David, James, and Corey, including from a friend of mine,
just called up, he sent me a check right here, I just got it.
$1 million.
From Dan Newland, thank you, Dan.
And again, when speaking to the family, I told them, I said,
well, I'm going to be sending you a lot of money, but I can't compensate.
They all said the same thing. You're right, sir.
We appreciate so much what you're doing, but nothing can take the place in the case of Corey.
And the other two, by the way, they were very, very seriously injured, but now they're doing
very well. They're going to be okay. They're going to be doing very well.
The Warriors, so now I ask that we observe a moment of silence in honor of our friend Corey.
There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for others. 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. This is what we need. Despite such a heinous attack,
we unite this evening more, determined than ever. I am more determined than ever, and so are you.
So is everybody in this room.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Our resolve is unbroken, and our purpose is unchanged to deliver a government that serves
the American people better than ever before. Nothing will stop me in this mission because
our vision is righteous and our cause is pure. No matter what obstacle comes our way,
we will not break. We will not bend. We will not back down, and I will never stop fighting for
you, your family, and our magnificent country. Never.
And everything I have to give with all of the energy and fight in my heart and soul,
I pledge to our nation tonight. Thank you very much. I pledge that to our nation.
I'm going to turn our nation around, and we're going to do it very quickly. Thank you.
This election should be about the issues facing our country and how to make America
successful, safe, free, and great again. In an age when our politics too often divide us,
now is the time to remember that we are all fellow citizens. We are one nation under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
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. In that spirit,
the Democrat Party should immediately stop weaponizing the justice system and labeling
their political opponent as an enemy of democracy, especially since that is not true. In fact,
I am the one saving democracy for the people of our country.
And very big news, as you probably just read, when 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,
with all of that publicity thrown out of court.
If Democrats want to unify our country, they should drop these partisan witch hunts,
which I have been going through for approximately eight years. And they should do that without
delay and allow an election to proceed that is worthy of our people. We're going to win it anyway,
but worthy of our people.
On this journey, I am deeply honored to be joined by my amazing wife, Melania.
Thank you very much. You also did something really beautiful, a letter to America calling for
national unity, and it really took the Republican Party by surprise. I will tell you, it was beautiful.
Thank you very much.
Fracts from very serious, people said that we should take that letter and put it as part of the
Republican platform. That would be an honor, wouldn't it? Right? Mr. Congressman.
But it captivated so many. So I also want to thank my entire family for being here
Don Kimberly, Ivanka and Jared, Eric and Lara, Tiffany and Michael, Baron. We love our Baron.
And of course, my 10 wonderful grandchildren, you saw a few of them up there on my lap before.
And how good was Dana? Was Dana good? You know, he was on probably the only vacation he's had at
about maybe ever because he works, but about 10 years with his wife, very far away. I won't tell
you where, but very, very far away, beautiful place. And my people called and he said, yeah,
I won't be able to do it. This is many, many years. I promised my wife I can't do it. And they
came in and they said, Dana won't be able to do it because he was my first second and third choice.
I said, well, you know, that's too bad, but I understand he's away and that's good. It's good
for him. And that was it about 30 minutes later. She came back in, sir. Dana just called. He's going
to do it. And his wife, she said, you can't turn him down. You just can't do it. You have to go.
That's a good wife.
So he got in a plane. He got here a little while ago. Now he's going to get on the plane in a little
while and he's going to go back home to his wife. But they're great. And I just want to thank her
and him and their whole family because that's not easy. And Kid Rock, same thing.
Called. He said, he said, I want to be a part of it. I want to be a part because, you know,
Kid does his great song, big, big monster song. I had no idea. You know, it became a friend of mine
over the last 10 years. And he's amazing. Everyone loves him. I didn't even know how big he was.
You know, he has rallies. 35, 40,000 people. He gets every time he goes out.
I think he's making so much money. He doesn't know what the hell to do with it. You want to rise?
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. I saw a chart of great songs to America. That was number one on
the chart recently, number one. So let's leave Greenwood. Very special. Beautiful person. He's a
beautiful man. But they all wanted to be here, they called. And how about the Hulkster? How good
was he? Is he? Nice. Boy. Oh boy.
You know, they may call it, they may call that entertainment. 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, I say maybe entertainment, but he is one strong son of a gun. I wouldn't tell you.
I watched it many times. There aren't a lot of entertainers that can do that, right?
You were fantastic. Thank you very much. Followed by Eric. What was that all about? Boy, that was
good. I didn't want to really come up here. But he was so great. And he's such a good young man.
He went through a lot of trouble. And Don last night was incredible. They went through so much
trouble. They got subpoenaed more than any people probably in the history of the United States.
Every week they get another subpoena from the Democrats, crazy Nancy Pelosi, the whole thing.
Just boom, boom, boom.
They've got to stop that because they're destroying our country. We have to work on making America
great again, not on beating people. And we won. We beat them in all. We beat them on the impeachments.
We beat them on indictments. We beat them. 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.
And Jason, the biggest star in country music, Jason, thank you for being here.
Jason, thank you very much. Jason Aldini's good. I like his wife even better, by the way. She's here.
Thank you, Jason. But I'm thrilled to have a new friend and partner fighting by my side.
The next vice president of the United States, the current senator from Ohio,
J.D. Vance, and his incredible wife, Usha.
He's going to be a great vice president. He's going to be great. He'll be with this country and
with his movement, greatest movement in the history of our country. Make America great again.
When they criticize it, they say, we're going to try and stop Mag. I said, Mag is make America
great again. What are you going to stop? There's nothing to stop.
Then they say, oh, that's right. It's very tough to fight it.
And all of the people that did try and fight it have failed. But he's going to be with us for a
long time. And it was an honor to select him. Great, great student at Yale. His wife was a great
student at Yale. They met at Yale. These are two smart people. So J.D., you're going to be doing
this for a long time. Enjoy the ride.
And a very special thank you to the extraordinary people of Milwaukee and the great state of,
oh, there they are. There they are. That's, you are so easy to spot.
And Green Bay is going to have a good team this year, right? They're going to have a good team.
They're going to have a good team. Most of the audience doesn't like it, but it's true. You're
going to have a very good team this year. And by the way, Wisconsin, we are spending over $250
million here creating jobs and other economic development all over the place. So I hope you will
remember this in November and give us your vote. I am trying to buy your vote. I'll be honest about
that. And I promise we will make Wisconsin great again. We're going to make it.
Thank you, Mr. Governor. Thank you very much. Thank you. I'm here tonight to lay out a vision
for the whole nation 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. Together, we will lead America to new heights of greatness like the world has
never seen before. We were right there in the first term. We got hit with COVID. We did a great job.
Nobody knew what it was, but nobody's ever seen an economy pre-COVID. And then we handed over
a stock market that was substantially higher than just prior to COVID. Coming in did a great
job. Never got credit for that. We got credit for the war and defeating ISIS and so many things,
a great economy, the biggest tax cuts ever, the biggest regulation cuts ever, the creation of
space force, the rebuilding of our military. We did so much. We did so much. Right to try.
Right to try is a big deal. We got right to try. They were trying to get that for 52 years.
Somebody's terminally ill, and hopefully there's nobody in this audience, but it does happen a
lot. They're terminally ill and they can't use our new space age drugs and other things that we
away had were the greatest doctors in the world, the greatest laboratories in the world,
and you can't do it. They've been trying to get that approved for 52 years. Was it that easy?
The insurance companies didn't want to do it. They didn't want the risk. The labs didn't want
to do it because if it didn't work, people are pretty far down the line toward death. They didn't
want to do it. The doctors didn't want to have it on their records, so I got everybody into an
office. 52 years they tried. Sounds simple, but it's not. And I got them to agree that
somebody that needs it will, instead of going to Asia, Europe, or someplace, or if you have no
money going home and dying, just die. We got them to sign an agreement, agree to it where they're
not going to sue anybody. They're going to get all of this stuff. They're going to get it really
fast. And what's happened is we're saving thousands and thousands of lives. It's incredible.
Right to try. It's a great feeling. Under our leadership, the United States will be
respected again. No nation will question our power. No enemy will doubt our might.
Our borders will be totally secure. Our economy will soar. We will return law in order to our
streets. Patriotism to our schools. And importantly, we will restore peace, stability, and harmony
all throughout the world. But to achieve this future, we must first rescue our nation from
failed and even incompetent leadership. We have totally incompetent leadership.
This will be the most important election in the history of our country. Under the current
administration, we are indeed a nation in decline. 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. They've never seen anything like it.
We also have an illegal immigration crisis, and it's taking place right now as we sit here in this
beautiful arena. It's a massive invasion at our southern border that has spread misery, crime,
poverty, disease, and destruction to communities all across our land. Nobody's ever seen anything
like it. Then there is an international crisis, the likes of which the world has
seldom been part of. Nobody can believe what's happening. War is now raging in Europe, in the
Middle East. A growing specter of conflict hangs over Taiwan, Korea, the Philippines,
and all of Asia. And our planet is teetering on the edge of World War III, and this will be a war
like no other war because of weaponry. The weapons are no longer army tanks going back and forth
shooting at each other. These weapons are obliteration. It's time for a change. This administration
can't come close to solving the problems. We're dealing with very tough, very fierce people.
They're fierce people. And we don't have fierce people. We have people that are a lot less than
fierce, except when it comes to cheating on elections and a couple of other things. Then they're fierce.
So tonight, I make this pledge to the great people of America. I will end the devastating
inflation crisis immediately. Bring down interest rates and lower the cost of energy. We will drill,
baby, drill.
Can you believe what they do? But by doing that, we will lead a large-scale decline in prices.
Prices will start to come down. Energy raised it. They took our energy policies and destroyed
them. Then they immediately went back to them, but by that time, so much was lost. But we will
do it at levels that nobody's ever seen before, and we'll end. Lots of different things. We'll
start paying off debt and start lowering taxes even further. We gave you the largest tax cut.
We'll do it more. 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.
Most people said, how did you do that? Because it was incentive. Everybody was coming to the
country. They were bringing back billions and billions of dollars into our country. The companies
made it impossible to bring it back. The tax rate was too high. And the legal complications
were far too great. I changed both of them. And hundreds of billions of dollars by Apple and so
many other companies were brought back into our nation. And we had an economy, the likes of which
nobody, no nation, had ever seen China. We were beating them at levels that were incredible.
And they know it. They know it. We'll do it again, but we'll do it even better.
I will end the illegal immigration crisis by closing our border and finishing the wall,
most of which I've already built.
On the wall, we were dealing with a very difficult Congress.
And I said, oh, that's okay. We won't go to Congress. I call it an invasion. We gave our
military almost $800 billion. I said, I'm going to take a little of that money because this is an
invasion. And we built, most of the wall is already built. And we built it through using the funds
because what's more, what's better than that? We have to stop the invasion into our country
that's killing hundreds of thousands of people a year. We're not going to let that happen.
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, which would have never happened if I was president.
Iran was broke. Iran had no money. Now Iran has $250 billion. They made it all over the last
two and a half years. They were broke. I watched the other day on a show called
Deface the Nation. Has anyone seen it? And they had a congressman who was a Democrat,
said, well, whether you like them or not, Iran was broke dealing with Trump. 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 percent or more.
And they said to me, well, I think that's about it. They weren't going to buy any oil.
And they were ready to make a deal. Iran was going to make a deal with us. And then
we had that horrible, horrible result that will never let happen again.
The election result would never going to let that happen again. They used COVID to cheat.
You're never going to let it happen again. And they took off all the sanctions and they did
everything possible for Iran. And now Iran is very close to having a nuclear weapon,
which would have never happened. This is a shame what this administration, the damage
at this administration has done. And I say it often, 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. Only going to use the term once, Biden. I'm not going to use
the name anymore, just one time. The damage that he's done to this country is unthinkable.
It's unthinkable. Together, we will restore vision, strength, competence.
And we're going to have a thing called common sense, making most of our decisions, actually.
It's all common sense.
Just a few short years ago, under my presidency, we had the most secure border and best economy
in the history of our country and the history of the world. We had the greatest economy
in the history of the world. We had never done anything like it. We were beating every country,
including China, by leaps and bounds. Nobody had seen anything like it. We had no inflation,
soaring incomes were going. Nobody's... Nobody can believe it. You can't believe what happened
four years ago is happening now in reverse. And the world was at peace. Inflation has been
a killer for our country. No matter what you make it, it doesn't matter because inflation is
eating you alive. People that were putting away money, they were making great wages the highest
they've ever made. But they were putting away a lot of money now. They are just being destroyed.
They're not putting away anything. They're barely living. They're going into savings accounts.
They're taking out their money to live because of inflation. Inflation, remember,
it's called a country buster. You can go back to Germany from 100 years ago. You can go back
to any country that suffered great inflation. We've suffered the worst inflation we've ever had.
But go back and see what's happened to those countries. We've had the worst inflation we've
ever had under this person. But in less than four years, our opponents have turned incredible
success into unparalleled tragedy and failure. It's been a tremendous failure. Today, our cities
are flooded with illegal aliens. Americans are being squeezed out of the labor force and
their jobs are taken. By the way, you know who's taking the jobs, the jobs that are created.
107 percent of those jobs are taken by illegal aliens. And you know who's being hurt the most by
millions of people pouring into our country? 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. The unions are suffering because of it.
Thank you. Thank you. I like you too. Thank you very much.
Inflation has wiped out the life savings of our citizens and forced the middle class into a
state of depression and despair. That's what it is. It's despair and depression. We cannot and
will not let this continue. Less than four years ago, we were a great nation and we will soon be a
great nation again. We're going to be a great nation again.
Thank you. With proper leadership, every disaster we are now enduring will be fixed,
and it will be fixed very, very quickly. 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. That's what
we're going to do. You don't even hear about the American dream anymore.
With great humility, I am asking you to be excited about the future of our country. Be excited.
Be excited.
And by the way, the news reports, oh, look at all of those big networks. Look at them. They're all here,
but every one of them has said this could be the most organized, best-run, and most enthusiastic
convention of either party that they've ever seen, every single one.
And it's true. It's true. And there's love in the room. There's great love in the room.
So I better finish strong. Otherwise, we'll blow it, and we can't let that happen.
Now, this was great. All of the great people that spoke, and everybody hit a home run.
I mean, there's not one that I can think of where I said, oh, gee, that wasn't great. Every single person.
I refuse to be the only one. Don't do that to me. They're already getting ready. See, I gave them an idea.
Now, we had a... This was a great convention. I think we're actually going to go home and miss it.
You know, usually with a... First of all, look at these crowds. You'd never have this
at a convention. Look at these crowds.
Love, it's about love. This week, the entire Republican party has formally adopted an agenda
for America's renewal, and you saw that agenda. And it's very short compared to the long, boring,
meaningless agendas of the past, including the Democrats. They write these things at
hundreds of pages long, and they never read them after their time. In their case, fortunately,
they don't read them because they're pretty bad. It's a series of bold promises that we will
swiftly implement when you give us a Republican House. And, Mr. Speaker, thank you very much.
We have our great Speaker of the House with us tonight. Mr. Speaker, thank you very much.
Thank you. A Republican Senate, we have many senators here.
And send me back to our beautiful White House just a few short months from now. We're talking
about just months. It can't come fast enough. We have to get it done. First, we must get economic
relief to our citizens starting on day one. We will drive down prices and make America
affordable again. We have to make it affordable. It's not affordable. People can't live like this.
Under this administration, our current administration, groceries are up
57 percent. Gasoline is up 60 and 70 percent. Mortgage rates have quadrupled.
And the fact is, it doesn't matter what they are because you can't get the money anywhere.
You can't buy houses. Young people can't get any financing to buy a house. The total household
costs have increased an average of $28,000 per family under this administration.
Republicans have a plan to bring down prices and bring them down very, very rapidly
by slashing energy costs. We will, in turn, reduce the cost of transportation, manufacturing
and all household goods. So much starts with energy. And remember, we have more liquid gold
under our feet than any other country by far. We are a nation that has the opportunity
to make an absolute fortune with its energy. We have it, and China does it.
Under the Trump administration, just three and a half years ago, we were energy independent.
But soon, we will actually be better than that. We will be energy dominant in supply,
not only ourselves, but we will supply the rest of the world
with numbers that nobody has ever seen. And we will reduce our debt, $36 trillion. We will start
reducing that, and we will also reduce your taxes still further. Next. And by the way,
they want to raise your taxes four times. Think of it. In all my life, I grew up watching politicians.
I always loved politics, I guess. I was on the other side. I'd watched the politics. And they
were always talking about, we will give you a tax cut. We will give you a tax cut. My whole
life I was watching, I will give you a tax cut, right, Mr. Congressman? That's all they talked about.
This is the only administration that said, we're going to raise your taxes by four times what
you're paying now. And people are supposed to vote for them. I've never heard it. You're paying too
much. We're going to reduce your taxes. Still further, we gave you the biggest one. As I said,
we're going to give you more, and it's going to lead to tremendous growth. We want growth in our
country. That's what's going to pay off our debt.
And next, we will end the ridiculous and actually incredible waste of taxpayer dollars that is
fueling the inflation crisis. They spent trillions of dollars on things having to do with the green
new scam. It's a scam. And that's caused tremendous inflationary pressures in addition to the cost of
energy. 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. And I will end the electric vehicle mandate on day one
and day one.
Thereby saving the U.S. auto industry from complete obliteration, which is happening right now,
and saving U.S. customers thousands and thousands of dollars per car.
And right now, as we speak, large factories, just started, are being built across the border in
Mexico. So with all the other things happening our border, and they're being built by China to
make cars and to sell them into our country. No tax, no anything. The United Auto Workers ought
to be ashamed for allowing this to happen. And the leader of the United Auto Workers should be fired
immediately in every single auto worker. 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.
They're building some of the largest auto plants anywhere in the world. Think of it
in the world. We're going to bring it back. We're going to make them. We don't mind the
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. 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.
We have long been taken advantage of by other countries.
And think of it, oftentimes these other countries are considered so-called allies.
They've taken advantage of us for years. We lose jobs, we lose revenue, and they gain everything
and wipe out our businesses, wipe out our people. I stopped it for four years, I stopped it,
and we're really ready to make changes like nobody had seen before. And remember,
a USMCA, 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. Actually, probably the best trade deal was the
deal they made with China, where they buy $50 billion worth of our product. They were buying
nothing. They buy $50 billion worth they had to. But I don't even talk about it because of COVID.
I don't even mention it, frankly, because of what happened with the China virus.
We will not let countries come in, take our jobs, and plunder our nation. They come into the,
they plunder our nation. The way they will sell their product in America is to build it in America.
A very simple, build it in America, and only in America.
And this very simple formula in Congress has to go along with us, and they will.
This very simple formula will create massive numbers of jobs. We will take over the auto
industry again, and many, many hundreds of thousands of jobs. We lost so many jobs over the years.
If you go back 20, 25 years, they've stalled and go into China and Mexico,
about 68 percent of our auto industry manufacturing jobs. We're going to get them all back. We're
going to get them all back every one of them. At the center of our plan for economic relief,
our massive tax cuts for workers that include something else that's turned out to be very popular
actually. Here, it's very popular in this building, and all those hotels that I saw that are so nice,
I'm staying in a nice one. It's called no tax on tips. No tax on tips.
I got that by having dinner recently in Nevada where we're leading by about 14 points.
Hello. I'll see you there very soon, everybody.
We're having dinner at a beautiful restaurant in the Trump building on the Strip, and it's
a great building, and the waitress comes over. How's everything going? A really nice person. How's
everything going? Oh, sir, it's so tough. The government's after me all the time on tip-stip-stips.
I said, well, they give you cash. Would they be able to find them? She said, actually,
I didn't know this. She said, very little cash is given. It's all put right on the
check, and they come in, and they take so much of our money. It's just ridiculous,
and they don't believe anything we say, and they've just tired, as you know,
88,000 agents to go after them even more.
And I said, this shows the level of my, you know, most people who have the higher consultants,
they pay millions of dollars. But I said to her, let me just ask you a question.
Would you be happy if you had no tax on tips? She said, what a great idea.
I got my information from a very smart waitress. That's better than spending millions of dollars.
And everybody loves it. Waitresses, and caddies, and drivers, and everybody's a large,
large group of people that are being really hurt badly, they make money, let them keep their money.
I'm going to protect Social Security and Medicare. 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. They are destroying
your Social Security and your Medicare. 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.
But no hope or dream we have for America can succeed unless we stop the
illegal, immigrant invasion, the worst that's ever been seen anywhere in the world. There's
never been an invasion like this anywhere. Third world countries would fight with sticks and stones
not to let this happen. The invasion at our southern border, we will stop it, and we will stop it
quickly. You heard Tom Homan yesterday. Tom Homan put him in charge and just sit back and watch.
Brandon Judd. The Border Patrol is incredible. These guys, you know, they really, their job is
a lot easier if they don't have to do anything, but they want to. They're patriots. Brandon Judd,
Border Patrol, ICE, ICE goes out. You have to see what ICE does with MS-13. These are probably
the worst gang, and ICE goes in there. And I know a lot of people on these rows here,
and they're very tough people. But they don't want to do this job.
They'll go into a pack of MS-13 killers. They're the worst, probably the worst gangs in the world.
We have thousands of them. I moved thousands and thousands out in my four years. We moved them
out, and it was a pleasure. But ICE would go right into a pack of these killers, and you see fist
flying. You see everything flying, and then they take them. They put them in a patty wagon.
They take them back, and they get them out of our country. 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. And the next day, I got calls from all of these countries that were terminated.
Billions of dollars we spend on economic aid to countries that does us, frankly, no good.
And the next day, I was called by everybody. I couldn't take all the calls. Sir, sir,
what's the problem? I said, you won't take your killers back. That you sent
in caravans into America. You won't take them back. Well, sir, if you'd like us to,
we would give very serious consideration to do that. And within 24 hours, they were being taken
back for years and years. When I first came in, they said, President Obama tried to
get them to go back, and they wouldn't accept them. They'd put planes on the runway so you couldn't
lead the plane. They'd close the road so you couldn't take the buses. They'd all have to turn
back. As soon as I said, no more economic aid of any kind to any country that does that.
They called back, and they said, sir, it would be a great honor to take MS-13. We love them very
much. We love them very much, sir. We'll take them back. At the heart of the Republican platform
as our pledge to end this border nightmare and fully restore the sacred and sovereign borders
of the United States of America. And we're going to do that on day one.
That means two things on day one, right? Drill baby drill and close our borders.
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. Legally.
Less than four years ago, I handed this administration the strongest border in American history.
But you can see on the chart that saved my life. That was the chart that saved my life. I said,
look it. I'm so proud of it. I think it's one of the greatest. It was done by the border patrol,
one of the greatest charts I've ever seen. It showed everything just like that. You know the chart.
Oh, there it is. That's pretty good. Wow.
Last time I put up that chart, I never really got to look at it.
But without that chart, I would not be here today.
Never got to look at it.
I said, you got to see this chart. I was so proud of it. And by the time I got to there,
I never got to see it that day. But I'm seeing it now and I was very proud.
And if you look at the arrow in the bottom, that's the lowest level, the one on the bottom,
heavy red arrow. That's the lowest level of illegal immigrants ever to come into our
country and recorded history right there.
That was my last week in office. And then you see what happened after I left.
Look at the rest. And if you go out a little bit further, it's getting to be a little bit
old, but I love it anyway, right? But you can go much higher with those numbers. Look what happened
right after that. The invasion began. We had the opposite. We stopped the invasion. But the
invasion that we stopped was peanuts by comparison to what happened after I left. Look at what
happened after I left. They took over our country. We ended all catch and release.
We shut down asylum fraud. We stopped human trafficking and forged historic agreements to
keep illegal aliens on foreign soil. We want them to stay on this soil. Under the Trump
administration, if you came in illegally, you were apprehended immediately and you were deported.
You went right back. The current administration terminated every single one of those great
Trump policies that I put in place to seal the border. I wanted a seal border. Again,
come in, but come in legal. You know how unfair it is? So many people, hundreds of thousands of
people, have been working for years to come into our country. And now they see these people pour
into our country at levels that are unprecedented. It's so unfair. Now, we're not going to do it.
We're not going to stand for it. They suspended wall construction, ended, remain in Mexico in a
policy, remain in Mexico. You think that was easy to get from the Mexican government? But I
said, you must give it to us. If you don't give it to us, there will be repercussions and they
gave it to us. But not easy. Cancelled our safe third agreements, demolished Title 42,
implemented nationwide catch and release. That's catch and release where we catch them
and release them into our country. I had we catch them and release them into Mexico. It was a
slight difference. And took 93. This is the previous administration. 93 executive actions to throw
open our border to the world. The entire world is pouring into our country because of this
very foolish administration. The greatest invasion in history is taking place right here in our country.
They are coming in from every corner of the earth, not just from South America, but from
Africa, Asia, the Middle East. They're coming from everywhere. They're coming at levels that
we've never seen before. It is an invasion indeed. And this administration does absolutely nothing
to stop them. They're coming from prisons. They're coming from jails. They're coming from mental
institutions and insane asylums. I, you know, the press is always on me because I say this,
has anyone seen silence of the lambs? The late, great Hannibal Lecter.
He'd love to have you for dinner. That's insane asylums. They're emptying out there
insane asylums. And terrorists are coming in at numbers that we've never seen before. Bad things
are going to happen. 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,
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 shepherd of the country. He says how
well the country's doing because their crime rate is down. And he said he's training all of these
rough people. They're rough, rough, rough. He's training them. And I've been reading about this
for two years. I think, oh, that's wonderful. Let's take a look at it. But then I realized he's
not training them. 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. And he's different in that he doesn't say that.
He's trying to convince everybody what a wonderful job he does in running the country. Well, he
doesn't do a wonderful job. 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. I would have had the
place totally emptied out already. But we become a dumping ground for the rest of the world,
which is laughing at us. They think we're stupid. 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. That's what I can tell you. In Venezuela, Caracas, high crime, high crime,
Caracas, Venezuela, really a dangerous place, but not anymore.
Because in Venezuela, crime is down 72 percent. In fact, if they would ever win this election,
hate to even say that. We will have our next Republican convention in Venezuela because it
will be safe. Our cities, our cities will be so unsafe, we won't be able. We will not be able to
have it there. And El Salvador murders are down by 70 percent. Why are they down?
Now, he would have you convinced that because he's trained murderers to be wonderful people,
no. They're down because they're sending their murderers to the United States of America.
This is going to be very bad. And bad things are going to happen, and you're seeing it happen
all the time. That's why to keep our families safe. The Republican platform promises
to launch the largest deportation operation in the history of our country.
Even larger than that of President Dwight D. Eisenhower from many years ago. You know,
he was a moderate, but he believed very strongly in borders. He had the largest deportation
operation we've ever had. Just recently, I spoke to the grieving mother of
Jocelyn Nungari, a wonderful woman. A precious 12-year-old girl from Houston who,
last month, was tied up, assaulted, and strangled to death after walking to the convenience store,
just a block away from her house. Her body was dumped near the side of the road in a shallow creek
found by some onlookers who couldn't believe what they had witnessed.
Charged with Jocelyn's heinous murder, 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. I also met recently with the heart
broken mother and sister Rachel Moran. Rachel was a 37-year-old mom of five beautiful children
who was brutally raped and murdered while out on a run. She wanted to keep herself in good shape.
It was very important as she was murdered. The monster responsible first killed another woman
in El Salvador before he was led into America by the White House. This White House let them in.
He then attacked a nine-year-old girl and her mother in a home invasion in Los Angeles before
murdering Rachel in Maryland, traveled all throughout the country doing tremendous damage.
Rachel's mother will never be the same. I spent time with her. She will never be the same.
I've also met with the wonderful family of Lake and Riley, the brilliant 22-year-old nursing
student. She was so proud of being first in her class who was out for a jog on the campus
of the University of Georgia when she was assaulted, beaten, and horrifically killed.
Yet another American life was stolen by a criminal alien set free by this administration,
and these were incredible people we're talking about. These were incredible people who died.
Tonight, America, this is my vow. I will not let these killers and criminals into our country.
I will keep our sons and daughters safe. As we bring security to our streets, we will help bring
stability to the world. I was the first president in modern times to start no new wars.
You know, we were the toughest. We were the most respected.
And you saw this hungry, strong country run by very powerful, tough leaders, tough guy.
Press doesn't like him because he's tough. And he came out recently. They were asking him at an
interview, the whole world is exploding. What's happening? What's going on?
Victor Orban, the Prime Minister of Hungary. Very tough, man.
He said, I don't want people coming into my country and blowing up our shopping centers
and killing people. But they said to him, tell us, what's going wrong? What's happening?
What is it? He said, there's only one way you're going to solve it. You've got to bring
President Trump back to the United States because he kept everybody at bay.
He used a word I wouldn't use because I can't use that word because you'd say it was
braggadocious. The press would say he was a braggart. I'm not a braggart. But Victor Orban said it.
He said Russia was afraid of him. China was afraid of him. Everybody was afraid of him.
Nothing was going to happen. The whole world was at peace. And now the world is blowing up around us.
All of these things that you read about were not going to happen.
Under President Bush, Russia invaded Georgia. Under President Obama, Russia took Crimea.
Under the current administration, Russia is after all of Ukraine.
Under President Trump, Russia took nothing.
We defeated 100% of ISIS in Syria in Iraq. Something that was said to take five years,
sir. It'll take five years, sir. We did it in a matter of a couple of months.
We have a great military. Our military is not woke. It's just some of the fools on top that are woke.
I got along very well. North Korea, Kim Jong-un. I got along very well with him. The press hated
when I said that, how could you get along with him? Well, it's nice to get along with somebody
who has a lot of nuclear weapons, or otherwise, isn't it?
See, in the old days, they'd say, that's a wonderful thing. Now they say, how can you possibly do that?
But now I got along with him, and we stopped the missile launches from North Korea now.
North Korea is acting up again, but when we get back, I get along with him.
He'd like to see me back, too. I think he misses me if you want to know that, sir.
Our opponents inherited a world that peace had turned it into a planet of war. We're in a planet
of war. Look at that attack on Israel. Look at what's happening with Ukraine. The cities are just
bombed out. How can people live like that where buildings, massive buildings, are falling to the
ground? It began to unravel with the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, the worst humiliation
in the history of our country. We have never had a humiliation like that.
Thirteen heroic U.S. servicemembers were tragically and needlessly killed.
Forty-five others were horrifically wounded. Nobody ever talks about them.
No arms, no legs, face explosions, horrifically wounded.
And by the way, we have a man in this room who's running for the U.S. Senate from a great state,
Nevada, named Sam Brown, who paid the ultimate price.
Thank you, Sam. Thank you, Sam.
Thank you.
Thank you.
He paid the biggest price probably ever paid by anybody that is running for office,
and I think he's going to do great. He's running against a person that is not good,
not respected, a total lightweight. But, Sam, I think, paid really. We were talking about it
with some of the senators that are working so hard for Sam. But he paid the biggest price
of any senator ever to run for the Senate. I don't think anybody's ever what he did.
He was a real hero, a really great person, and he's running, and I hope that everybody
gets out and votes for Sam Brown.
And we also left behind $85 billion worth of military equipment,
along with many American citizens, we're left behind.
Many, many American citizens emboldened by that disaster. Russia invaded Ukraine.
They saw this group of people that were incompetent. We took the soldiers out first.
No, no, we're going to take the soldiers out second. If they would have followed my plan,
we had a great plan. But the plan only kicked in if they did everything perfectly, and they
weren't doing things perfectly. So we said it doesn't kick in. You know, 18 months in Afghanistan,
we didn't have one, so they were killing them left and right snipers.
And I spoke to the head of the Taliban. You've heard the story.
Abdul, still there, still the head of the Taliban. The press got on me. Why would you
speak to him? I said, because that's where the killing is. I don't have to speak to somebody
that has nothing to do with it. And I told him, don't ever do that. Don't ever do that again.
Don't ever ever do that again. You're going to stop. Because during the Obama administration,
many great people and soldiers, a lot of soldiers were being killed from long distance.
I said, if you keep doing that, you're going to be hit harder than anybody's ever been hit by
a country before. And he said, I understand your excellence. He called me your Excellency.
I wonder if he calls the other guy your Excellency. I doubt it. The other guy gave him everything.
I mean, what kind of a deal was that? He walked out and gave him everything.
Do you know that right now Afghanistan is one of the largest sellers of weapons in the world?
They're selling the brand new beautiful weapons that we gave them. But think of it,
he actually said to me, but why but why do you show me a picture of my home?
I said, you'll have to ask your people or one of your wives.
But he could figure it out. And for 18 months, we had not one attack on an American soldier
by the Taliban. 18.
And then we had that horrible day where soldiers were killed. I was not there because of a
ridiculous election. But we had that horrible attack. And they also gave up Bagram, one of the
biggest bases anywhere in the world, air bases, anywhere in the world, the longest runways, most
powerful, hardened, thickened runways. We gave it up. And I liked it, not because of Afghanistan.
I liked it because of China. It's one hour away from which China makes their nuclear weapons.
And you know who has it now? China has it now. We were keeping that.
And now China is likewise circling Taiwan and Russian warships and nuclear submarines are
operating 60 miles off the coast in Cuba. Do you know that? The press refuses to write about it.
If that were me running this country and we had nuclear submarines in Cuba, I will tell you that
headlines every day would be, what's wrong with our president? You don't even hear this. You're
not hearing about this. Russia has nuclear submarines and warships 60 miles away, Mr.
Congressman from Miami, by the way, happens to be here. Correct? In Cuba.
That would not be stood for if, or somebody else. They don't even, they don't want to mention it,
but now maybe they will. And the entire world, I tell you this, we want our hostages back,
and they better be back before I assume office, where you will be paying a very big price.
With our victory in November, the years of war, weakness, and chaos will be over. I don't
have wars. I had no wars other than ISIS, which I defeated, but that was a war that was started.
We had no wars. I could stop wars with a telephone call.
I could stop wars with just a telephone call. If properly stated, it would never start.
We will replenish our military and build an Iron Dome missile defense system to ensure that no
enemy can strike our homeland, and this great Iron Dome will be built entirely in the USA.
We're going to build it in USA. And Wisconsin,
Wisconsin, just like I gave you that massive ship contract, and you're doing a very nice job,
Governor Wright. Thank you, Governor. And they're doing a great job. In fact, I had a little design
change, and we gave them a tremendous, for essentially what we used to call destroyers.
These are now the most beautiful. They look like, yes, they 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.
And the people at the shipyard said, this guy sort of knows what he's doing. We have the most
beautiful ships, right, Governor? And everybody's sitting over there. And it was a big contract
that everybody wanted. I gave it to Wisconsin, but we're going to have a lot of that built right
here in the state of Wisconsin, and all other states, Israel has an Iron Dome. They have a
missile defense system. 342 missiles were shot into Israel, and only one got through a little bit.
It was badly wounded. It fell to the ground, but most of them are. And Ronald Reagan wanted this
many years ago, but we really didn't have the technology many years ago. Remember, they called
its starship, spaceship, anything to mock him. But he was a very good president, very, very good.
But now we have unbelievable technology. And why should other countries have this? And we don't.
No, no, 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. And again, from an economic development standpoint,
we're going to make it all right here. No more sending it out to other countries in order to help.
It's America first, America first. 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. We're going to get to the bottom of it.
You remember this gentleman that I don't want to mention other than one time I had to, because
when you say the 10 worst, I had to do it. I didn't want anybody to be confused.
But this man said, we're going to find the cure to cancer. Nothing happened.
We're going to get to the cure for cancer, and Alzheimer's and so many other things.
We're so close to doing something great. But we need a leader that will let it be done.
We will not have men playing in women's sports. That will end immediately.
And we will restore and renovate our nations once great cities, making them safe, clean,
and beautiful again. And that includes our nation's capital, which is a horrible killing field.
So many things. They leave from Wisconsin. They go to look at the Washington Monument.
They end up getting stabbed, killed, or shot. We will be very soon, very proud of our capital.
Again, Washington, D.C.
America is on the cusp of a new golden age, but we will
have the courage to seize it. We're going to take it. We're going to make it a current.
I mean, we're going to bring this into a golden age like never seen before.
Remember this, China wants to do it. Japan wants to do it. All of these countries want to do it.
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,
but AI needs tremendous, literally twice the electricity that's available now in our country.
Can you imagine? But instead, we're spending places where they recharge electric cars.
They built eight chargers at a certain location toward the Midwest.
Eight chargers for $9 billion. Think of them as a tank for filling up your gas.
Think of it. They spent $9 billion on eight chargers, three of which didn't work.
And if you were going to do this all over our country, this crazy electric band-aid,
if you're going to do this all- and by the way, I'm all for electric. They have their application.
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. And we're going to make that change on day one.
So, to conclude, just a few short days ago, my journey with you nearly ended. We know that.
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. It's called America.
We live in a world of miracles. None of us knows God's plan or where
life's adventure will take us. I want to thank Franklin Graham for being here tonight as an outstanding man.
He wrote me a note recently. I have a lot of respect for him.
Sir, I love your storytelling. I think it's great in front of these big rallies.
But, sir, please do me one favor. It won't make any difference. Please, don't use any foul language.
I was a little embarrassed. I said, he said, it won't make any difference. Actually,
it's not quite as good, but I've been very good. The story is not quite as good, to be honest.
I've got to have a little talk with Franklin. But he was great.
He's a great gentleman. His father was so incredible. Billy Graham. My father used to love
taking me to see Billy Graham. My father would take me to see Billy Graham at Yankee Stadium.
He had the biggest rally ship ever seen. He was a good rally guy, too.
But he'd get up, and he was a fantastic guy. My father loved Billy Graham.
But I love Franklin Graham. I think Franklin's been fantastic.
And I'm trying. I'm just working so hard to adhere to his note to me.
I'm working hard on it, Franklin. 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.
We have to make the most of every day for the people and for the country that we love.
The attacker in Pennsylvania wanted to stop our movement, but the truth is, the movement has
never been about me. It has always been about you. It's your movement. It's the biggest movement
in the history of our country by far. Can't be stopped. It can't be stopped.
It has always been about the hardworking, patriotic citizens of America.
For too long, our nation has settled for too little. We settled for too little.
We've given everything to other nations, to other people. You've been told to lower your
expectations and to accept less for your families. I am here tonight with the opposite message.
Your expectations are not big enough. It is time to start expecting and demanding
the best leadership in the world, leadership that is bold, dynamic, relentless, and fearless.
We can do that. We are Americans. Ambition is our heritage. Greatness is our birthright.
But as long as our energies are spent fighting each other, our destiny will remain out of reach.
And that's not acceptable. 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. We can do it
together. We will unite. We are going to come together. And success will bring us together.
It is a story of love, sacrifice, and so many other things.
And remember the word devotion. It's unmatched devotion.
Our American ancestors crossed the Delaware, survived the icy winter at Valley Forge,
and defeated a mighty empire to establish our cherished republic. They fought so hard,
they lost so many. 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.
They packed their families into covered wagons, trekked across hazardous trails,
scaled towering mountains, and braved rivers and rapids to stake their claim on the wide open,
new, and very beautiful frontier. 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.
At Yorktown, Gettysburg, and Midway, they joined the roll call of immortal heroes,
so many horror, just so many heroes, so many great, great people. And we have to cherish those
people. We can't forget those people. We have to cherish those people.
And building monuments to those great people is a good thing, not a bad thing.
They saved our country. No challenge was too much. No hardship was too great.
No enemy was too fierce. Together these patriots sold you 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. Just like our ancestors, we must now come together, rise above past
differences. 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.
Tonight, I ask for your partnership, for your support, and I am humbly asking for your vote.
I want your vote. I'm going to make our country great again.
Every day I will strive to honor the trust you have placed in me, and I will never, ever let you
down. I promise that. I will never let you down. To all of the forgotten men and women who have
been neglected, abandoned, and left behind, you will be forgotten no longer. We will press forward
and together we will win, win, win.
Win, win, win, win, win, win.
Win, win, win, win, win. Nothing will sway us, nothing will slow us, and no one will ever stop us.
No matter what dangers come our way, no matter what obstacles lie in our path,
we will keep striving toward our shared and glorious destiny, and we will not fail. We will not fail.
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. America's future will be bigger,
better, bolder, brighter, happier, stronger, freer, greater, and more united than ever before.
And quite simply put, we will very quickly make America great again. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much. Wisconsin, God bless you. God bless you Wisconsin, and God bless the United
States of America, our great country. Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you.
God bless you Wisconsin, God bless you Wisconsin, and God bless you Wisconsin, and God bless you Wisconsin,
and God bless you Wisconsin, and God bless you Wisconsin, and God bless you Wisconsin,

with two and now ladies and gentleman please welcome back the chairman of the then
And now, to deliver this evening's benediction, please welcome Dr. Mario Dickens from Milwaukee.
Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I want to thank God for being here and granting me this opportunity to address the Republican National Convention 2024.
I'm staying on script, but I got to say one thing.
Just four hours ago, my granddaughter was born.
Diana Leia Dickens.
Yes, my granddaughter is here. I just wanted to welcome her into the world on this stage.
One nation under God, reflecting on the significance of this phrase is crucial in the days to come.
The path we have traveled has not been easy, but it must be navigated with dignity and perseverance.
The Holy Scriptures state that the peace of God surpasses all understanding.
I pray for peace in this nation, peace on the campaign trail, peace on our streets, and peace in our homes.
We extend prayers for Corey Compertor, who tragically lost his life in Saturday's assassination attempt.
For the innocent bystanders injured, and for their grieving families, made the presence of God be with them.
It is God who established governments as explained in Romans 13, verse 1.
And for that, we are grateful.
My wife, Shari, I love you.
My parents and my children know that God is the ultimate answer.
As you leave this Republican National Convention, do so with the confidence that he will guide your path and keep you in his grace.
My hope is that we all find joy in the days to come and embrace leadership in the up-and-coming elections
that will guide the next four years with wisdom and peace.
So please stand with me as I end this prayer.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands.
One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
In Jesus' name, we pray.
God, we give you the honor, the praise, and the glory.
Hallelujah!
President Trump, Senate Advanced, may God lead you and guide you.
Amen. Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
