Thank you. | ||
Thank you. | ||
Thank you. . . | ||
Sorry to keep you waiting, complicated business. | ||
The more that a broken system tells you that you're wrong, the more certain you should be that you must keep pushing the more certain you should be that you must keep pushing Because it's the outsiders who change the world, and who make a real and lasting difference. | ||
Nothing worth doing ever came easy. | ||

|
Treat the word impossible as nothing more than motivation. | |
The future belongs to the people who follow their heart no matter what the critics say. | ||
unidentified
|
We must always remember that we share one home and one glorious destiny. | |
We all bleed the same red blood of patriots. | ||
unidentified
|
We all salute the same great American flag. | |
Our best days are yet to come. | ||

|
I am officially running for president of the United States. | |
We need a leader. | ||
I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created. | ||
It can be wonderful if you have smart people. | ||
But we have people that are stupid. | ||
The American dream is dead. | ||
But if I get elected president, I will bring it back. | ||
Bigger and better and stronger than ever before. | ||
The American dream. | ||
And we will make America great again. | ||
We will make America great again. | ||
And we will make America great again. | ||

This is from your biggest positive fan. | ||
May you one day see the light. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, hey, thanks, love you too, but sorry, I believe in religion in the next sense, so... Napoleon, Alexander the Great, Donald Trump were all cut from the same cloth, and that cloth is very, very large. | |
It's not too big, is it? | ||
unidentified
|
It's wrong, isn't it? | |
It feels so right. | ||
And it's a deal? | ||
It's wrong, isn't it? | ||
It feels so right. | ||
It's a deal. | ||
unidentified
|
I put together some real person deals. | |
I like that. | ||
Go dig or go home. | ||
Donald Trump You know, you're really beautiful A woman that looks like that Has to have an official set It's the dollar Oh my god | ||
Hey Donald Oh my god Oh my god Thank you very much. | ||
This is my story. | ||
Listen, are you begging him? | ||
Are you? | ||
You don't. | ||
You speak to fact. | ||
I'm calling this. | ||
Oh. | ||
Look at this right here on the street. | ||
It's Donald Trump. | ||
What? | ||
Everything's set for tonight, Mr. Trump. | ||
I wonder what Trump's game is this time. | ||
unidentified
|
Trump's got a new day. | |
Trump's got a new day. | ||
Trump's got a new deal. | ||
What's your game, though? | ||
Heard about Trump's new deal? | ||
What? | ||
Mr. Trump. Trump has a new game. | ||
What is it? | ||
I'm a new guy, Mr. Trump. | ||
Mr. Trump's got a new game. | ||
My new game is Trump. | ||
The game. | ||
Trump. The game. | ||
This sounds like political presidential. | ||
You said, though, that if you did run for president, you'd believe you'd win. | ||
I like that. | ||
I would say that I would have a hell of a chance of winning. | ||
I'd never go on to lose. | ||
I've never gone on to lose in my life. | ||
I don't know how your audience feels, but I think people are tired of seeing the United States ripped off. | ||
There's the guy on the floor, right? | ||
Mm-hmm. | ||
Touch me. | ||
Thank you. | ||
I will, you know. | ||
Okay, kids, make it fast. | ||
I've got to play the game. | ||
Can you create a magazine? | ||
Mr. Trump, you can do it. | ||
Scamggy. | ||
Thank you. | ||
Thank you. | ||
You can't go back to the past. | ||
That's what people always say, isn't it? | ||
They say, can we really go back? | ||
And the answer is, whether you're conservative or liberal, right wing or left wing, the answer is no. | ||
We're never going back. | ||
unidentified
|
It's done. | |
It's gone. | ||
All of that is gone. | ||
But I would call myself something like a Christian futurist instead, because Jesus Christ was our past before any of us were born or conceived. | ||
Jesus Christ is our present now, and Jesus Christ is our future after we die on Earth. | ||
unidentified
|
We want this century to be the most Christian century in the history of planet Earth. | |
We want this century to be the most Christian century in the history of planet Earth. | ||
We love everybody. | ||
And we want people that can burn, really, more than anybody. | ||
But this country can no longer be held hostage by a small minority that doesn't believe in real hell. | ||
unidentified
|
The mission of our movement is to make this country a Christian country. | |
The mission is to create a Christian, The only way we're going to do it is not by infiltrating, not by subverting, not by lying, which is what a lot of people do. | ||
unidentified
|
The only way that we're going to make this happen is with the fullness of a real Christian. | |
The only way. | ||
We have got to be willing to die for Jesus Christ. | ||
We have to want it more than they do because there are thousands and millions and tens of millions and hundreds of millions of Christians ready to meet their final destiny that nothing can stop us and nothing will. | ||
They've been put on notice here. | ||
If you fuck around with us, if you do something bad to us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before. | ||
Don't sit yet. | ||
I feel like this. | ||
I feel like this. | ||
I feel like this is a noise. | ||
They cannot even begin to imagine the brave and righteous spirit they've unleashed in men and women. | ||
But they're going to find out the hard way. | ||
They will find out like never before. | ||
This nation belongs to you. | ||
to you, belongs to you. | ||
It was patriots like you that built this country, and it's patriots like you that are going to save our country. | ||
To all of those who think that they can coerce and subjugate the citizens of this land, hear these words. | ||
For me tonight, the people of America will not surrender our borders. | ||
We will not surrender our culture. | ||
We will not surrender our faith. | ||
We will not surrender our values. | ||
We will not surrender our history. | ||
We will not surrender our liberty. | ||
And above all, we will not surrender our children. | ||
We are done with their distorted visions for America. | ||
It's time to start talking about greatness for our country again. | ||
We want our country to be great again. | ||
We want our country to be respected. | ||
The time for action has come. | ||
As long as we are led by politicians who will not put America first, then we can be assured that other nations will not treat America with respect, the respect that then we can be assured that other nations will not treat America Years from now, | ||
some of them may look back and ask themselves whether some of them may look back and ask themselves whether they've made the right choice. | ||
Whether they've made the most of the opportunities they've been given. | ||
Together, we have the same mission. | ||
Over the course of your life, you will find that things are not always fair. | ||
You will find that things happen to you that you do not deserve and that are not always warranted. | ||
But you have to put your head down and fight, fight, fight. | ||
Never, ever, ever give up. | ||
Don't give in, don't back down, and never stop doing what you know is right. | ||
Nothing worth doing ever, ever, ever came easy. | ||
And the more righteous your fight, the more opposition that you will face. | ||
In your hearts are inscribed the values of service, sacrifice, and devotion. | ||
Now you must go forth into the world and turn your hopes and dreams into action. | ||
America has always been the land of dreams because America is a nation of true believers. | ||
When the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth, They pray. | ||
When the founders wrote the Declaration of Independence, they invoked our creator four times. | ||
Because in America, we don't worship government. | ||
We worship God. | ||
It is why our currency proudly declares, in God we trust. | ||
And it's why we proudly proclaim that we are one nation under God. | ||
The story of America is the story of an adventure that began with deep faith, big dreams, and humble beginnings. | ||
The next generation of American leaders, never, ever give up. | ||
There'll be times in your life you'll want to quit. | ||
unidentified
|
Never quit. | |
Never stop fighting for what you believe in and for the people who care about you. | ||
Carry yourself with dignity and pride. | ||
unidentified
|
Demand the best from yourself. | |
The more people tell you it's not possible, that it can't be done, the more you should be absolutely determined to prove them wrong. | ||
unidentified
|
Treat the word impossible as nothing more than motivation. | |
Relish the opportunity to be an outsider the more that a broken system tells you that you're wrong. | ||
unidentified
|
The more certain you should be that you must keep pushing ahead. | |
You must keep pushing forward. | ||
And always have the courage to be yourself. | ||
America is better when people put their faith into action. | ||
Pray to God. | ||
And follow his teachings. | ||
Today, each of you begins a new chapter as well. | ||
When your story goes from here, it will be defined by your vision, your perseverance, and your grit. | ||
You will build a future where we have the courage to chase our dreams no matter what the cynics and the doubters have to say. | ||
You will have the confidence to speak the hopes in your hearts and to express the love that stirs your souls. | ||
As long as you have pride in your beliefs, courage in your convictions, and faith in God, Then you will not fail. | ||
As long as America remains true to its values, loyal to its citizens, and devoted to its creator, then our best days are yet to come. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
May God bless the United States of America. | ||
And I just want to let you know that God blesses you. | ||
And I want to just say you are special in every way. | ||
God bless you and God bless America. | ||

At least I will go down as a president. | ||
Now America is once again at a moment of reckoning. | ||
Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you, the American people. | ||
Yeah. | ||
We will make America great again. | ||

Thank you. | ||
Good evening. | ||
You're watching America First. | ||
We are coming to you live with our first day of live coverage of the Republican National Convention. | ||
And it looks like we're about to start the program here, so we're just going to jump into it. | ||
We'll do a little live reaction, and then during the breaks, we'll be analyzing some of the speeches. | ||
And of course, we also have to talk about the vice presidential nominee, J.D. | ||
Vance. | ||
So we're going to dive in, we're going to watch this speech, and then in the next intermission, we're going to get into it a little bit and talk about some of the news from today. | ||
unidentified
|
I am Mark Robinson. | |
I am the first black lieutenant governor of North Carolina. | ||
And come November, I plan on being the first black governor of North Carolina. | ||
But I am not one of the political elite. | ||
I grew up poor as the ninth of ten kids in Greensboro with an alcoholic father who beat my mother. | ||
I love to tell you that I graduated from high school, found success, never worried about money again, but I can't. | ||
I lost two jobs, two manufacturing jobs because of NAFTA, which by the way Joe Biden voted for. | ||
Politicians in D.C. | ||
made bad decisions. | ||
People like me suffered. | ||
I lost my car and my house. | ||
I was desperate. | ||
But you know, my story isn't unique. | ||
A couple of months ago in my travels, I stopped at a gas station. | ||
As I was leaving, a man walked out with a beard. | ||
He looked very stressed. | ||
He got in his car, and I could see him holding an envelope. | ||
My heart dropped. | ||
Because years ago, I held one just like it. | ||
It was bankruptcy papers. | ||
I can see the fear on his face. | ||
It took me back to lying awake at night with that gnawing worry and debating which bills weren't going to get paid. | ||
Unfortunately, many families today are having that same experience. | ||
Under Joe Biden, grocery prices have skyrocketed, and gas has nearly doubled. | ||
In North Carolina, factories just like the one I worked at are closing, leaving families feeling hopeless. | ||
But there is hope, and I'm proof. | ||
My wife and I never gave up. | ||
We kept our faith. | ||
We worked hard and made it through those tough times. | ||
Now I stand before you on the verge of becoming the first black governor of North Carolina. | ||
Let me know, by the way, how the audio levels are. | ||
unidentified
|
Let me know if the... | |
The stream is too loud or I'm too loud. | ||
unidentified
|
Let me know. | |
What's going on with the pyramid? | ||
Someone else who will fight just as hard for you. | ||
President Donald J. Trump. | ||
What's going on with the pyramid? | ||
Did you see that? | ||
unidentified
|
The brave heart of our time, President Trump, has had our economy roaring. | |
Gas was up below $2. | ||
Unemployment was at a historic low. | ||
Watch next time when they zoom out, he's standing in front of the all-seeing eye from the dollar on the pyramid. | ||
unidentified
|
The Press: Under President Trump, the American Dream was alive and well. | |
Under President Trump, there was hope. | ||
And we need that now more than ever. | ||
So this November, let's elect the brave heart of our time, Donald J. Trump, to get our economy back on track, restore the American Dream, and make America great again. | ||
God bless you all, and God bless the United States of America. | ||
Thank you. | ||
Yeah, what's going on with the all-seeing eye? | ||
I know that's just, like, the money, but... Why that? | ||
Alright, so our first speech... Uh, was that Tim Scott, or was that Ben Carson? | ||
I don't- I couldn't really, um... I missed the intro, so I couldn't tell. | ||
Or was that, uh... | ||
Was that Kanye? | ||
Anyway. | ||
So, whatever. | ||
That's a very standard speech. | ||
But we're here. | ||
We got interrupted a little bit. | ||
We had to watch the first speech. | ||
But it's the first day of our coverage of the Republican National Convention. | ||
Just so you know, I'll be here all week. | ||
This program tonight is supposed to go until, I think, 10 o'clock. | ||
But we'll be back here tomorrow, Wednesday, and Thursday all week covering every speech of the RNC. | ||
I believe the programming starts a little bit later tomorrow, but it's roughly around the same time. | ||
So if you are just joining us, this is the official nominating convention for the GOP. | ||
This is the week when Donald Trump becomes the official presidential nominee. | ||
And as we've just learned today, J.D. | ||
Vance will be nominated as the vice presidential nominee. | ||
And so that is the business of this convention. | ||
So we'll be covering, it's a stacked lineup. | ||
Basically, every Republican is gonna be here. | ||
It's 50,000 people in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. | ||
It's a who's who. | ||
Many of the donors will be speaking. | ||
Dozens of senators, congressmen, governors, celebrities. | ||
And we're expecting an appearance from Donald Trump on Thursday, although he might make a surprise appearance maybe earlier. | ||
And historically, the nominee speaks at the very end of the conference on the last day, which is Thursday. | ||
But Donald Trump, at least in 2016, made a surprise appearance on the first day of the convention on a Monday. | ||
That was his famous WWE entrance. | ||
So we'll see. | ||
Trump has promised many surprises. | ||
So we'll see if that's one of them. | ||
Maybe a surprise early appearance tonight. | ||
It would be pretty remarkable. | ||
And of course, we're coming on the heels of the assassination attempt on Thursday. | ||
I did a special show on Saturday night covering the assassin. | ||
Did I say Thursday? | ||
The assassination attempt on Saturday. | ||
I did a show covering it Saturday night. | ||
As you may have already learned, the president is OK. | ||
He sustained minor damage to his right ear, upper right ear. | ||
They say he's missing a small piece of it. | ||
So it'll be interesting to see what that looks like when he walks out on the stage, if that's tonight or Thursday, how intact the ear is, or if they'll get some kind of prosthetic or... I don't know anything about that Hollywood stuff, but it'll be interesting to see if there's any lasting damage or scarring. | ||
But the good news is Donald Trump has survived. | ||
After the assassination attempt, he flew back home on his private jet to New Jersey. | ||
And then he flew to Milwaukee today, undeterred. | ||
Initially, he planned on maybe delaying his visit to Milwaukee, but he said that he would not live in fear. | ||
He said he would not allow the assassin to change his plans. | ||
So he is in Milwaukee. | ||
Thank you. | ||
Thank you, Texas. | ||
and he's expected to speak. | ||
The whole city is on lockdown. | ||
I was considering going to the convention, and I might still, but if you don't know how this works, when the convention comes to town, they lock down the entire city. | ||
You can't get in or out of the downtown without a credential. | ||
You have to be a delegate, a volunteer, or an alternate. | ||
All right, but it looks like we have another speech. | ||
We'll pick this up in a moment. | ||
unidentified

We can fix this disaster when we reelect Donald John Trump as president and send him right back to where he belongs, the White House. | ||

Under President Trump, American families have more money in their pockets and bank accounts. | |
American families can invest, save, and buy a home. | ||
Under President Trump, we have the greatest economy in our lifetime. | ||
And in less than four years, under Joe Biden, everything changed. | ||
Ladies and gentlemen, that is why we must win in November to take our country back! | ||
Alright! | ||

My nigga! | |
We owe it to future generations to embrace this pivotal moment. | ||
I owe it to my two daughters, Victoria and Olivia. | ||

This is a real American. | ||

And I risk my life in combat to preserve our nation. | |
Now, there is another man who is putting it all on the line to save our nation. | ||
His name is President Donald Trump. | ||
Let's go. | ||
And with your help in November, and with his unbending resolve, together we will make America great again. | ||
Alright, let's go. | ||

Our vice presidential nominee, J.D. | |
Vance. | ||
No. | ||
unidentified
|
Bad. | |
We don't like him. | ||
Another Midwestern boy. | ||
He's going to need some help when he comes up to Michigan. | ||
I'll do everything I can, but he might be the first Buckeye to win in Michigan since last time Trump was in office. | ||
But those are two great American dream stories from the Vance family. | ||
But I have another American dream story to tell you about. | ||
It's about a little boy from Starkville, Mississippi, who lived directly across the street from Mississippi State University. | ||
How many people are even watching this convention? | ||
Despite growing up in the Jim Crow South, he refused to let his older brothers come to visit. | ||
He paid his way through college, served honorably in Vietnam, and started a trucking company with one truck, one trailer, and no speeches. | ||
I'm the grandson of a slave! | ||
My daddy grew up in the Jim Crow South! | ||
He ain't got no need. | ||
unidentified
|
He had to work for everything he don't got. | |
I grew up in awe of that story. | ||
Because it's my dad's story. | ||
It's part of my story. | ||
He and my mother raised me never telling me that this is a racist country. | ||
Never. | ||
Never. | ||
Oh my god! | ||
On the white- That's a sea of white people! | ||
America isn't racist. | ||
We have much farther to go. | ||
Yes! | ||
America isn't racist. | ||
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
Even though they endured racism, it did not define the nation they love. | ||
They taught me I could do anything I set my mind to. | ||
They taught me to put the Lord first always. | ||
They taught me to use my blessings to be a blessing to others. | ||
And that's what we're doing here today. | ||
Loomer? | ||
No way. | ||
Were they all Apache pilots? | ||
This is the same guy! | ||
This is the same guy! | ||
Were they on the same helicopter? | ||
They were on the colored division. | ||
Colored Apache division. | ||
unidentified
|
That's crazy. | |
The last guy was a helicopter guy. | ||
That must be the easiest job. | ||
We learned something about the military today. | ||
unidentified
|
Easiest job is flying the Apaches. | |
Alright man, just go fly the Apaches, alright? | ||
I learned something about the military today. | ||
Easiest job is flying the Apaches. | ||
unidentified

By the grace of God, I was able to come home after my deployment. | |
All right, man, just go fly the Apaches, all right? | ||
unidentified
|
We got to meet a quota. | |
I have the honor of representing Michigan's 10th congressional district, the number one manufacturing district in the best state in the entire unit. | ||
My family's story is the American dream story. | ||
But my biggest concern right now, my biggest fear, is will children today be able to look back and share that same story? | ||
Look, I firmly believe Americans have not given up on the American Dream. | ||
Joe Biden and the Democrats have given up on the American Dream. | ||
Joe Biden and the Democrats think they know how to spend your money better than you do. | ||
They want to take your dollars, they want to take your voice, they want to take your control and give it back to D.C. | ||
bureaucrats to execute their woke and green New Deal agenda. | ||
Well, that plan doesn't work because hope is not a plan. | ||
Black people were sold on hope. | ||
Now our streets are rife with crime, our kids can't read, and illegals are getting better help from Democrats in four days than we've gotten in 400 years. | ||
To all white people in the audience, to all black people on the stage. | ||
Look, it's literally not one black person in the crowd. | ||
unidentified
|
The biological males. | |
America was sold on hope. | ||
And now the world's on fire. | ||
Our borders are wide open. | ||
And Americans are going into debt to pay for their groceries. | ||
But look, look, look, look. | ||
We don't even have to imagine a brighter day. | ||
We just have to remember under President Donald J. Trump, we have secure border. | ||
Under President Donald J. Trump, we have peace in Europe. | ||
And under President Donald J. Trump, we had an economy so good. | ||
We had an economy so good, Democrats are trying to give Obama the credit for it. | ||
Look. | ||
Yeah, I heard a little bit earlier today. | ||
Look! | ||
If you don't vote for Donald Trump, you ain't black. | ||
But see, here's the thing. | ||
By the grace of God and the proven leadership of Donald Trump, for every American, regardless of race, color, and creed, we can once again have a land where a child's outcome isn't determined by their zip code. | ||
We can once again have a land where hard work truly does get you ahead. | ||
We can once again have a land where you can go from poverty to prosperity in a single generation. | ||
I believe that land is still America. | ||
America is the greatest idea that's ever been. | ||
idea. | ||
unidentified
|
America, I believe deeply in my heart, America is the greatest idea that's ever been It's worth fighting for, it's worth sacrificing for, and it's worth getting out to vote for, because I truly believe in the deepest heart of hearts that with Donald J. Trump back in the White House, the best is yet to come. | |
God bless you. | ||
Thank you. | ||
God bless America. | ||
All right. | ||

To show families just how much more they're spending on gas under Biden and Harris than they did under President Trump, we placed these signs at gas pumps. | |
When President Trump left office, gas cost only $2.20. | ||
Under Biden and Harris, gas skyrocketed to the highest price in history, over five bucks a gallon. | ||
Five dollars a gallon is the highest historically it's ever been. | ||
It hurts my heart. | ||
It hurts my budget. | ||
It just hurts. | ||
It hurts my budget? | ||
Gas prices are too high. | ||
unidentified
|
They're terrible. | |
They're outrageous. | ||
Overpriced. | ||
unidentified
|
It's true though, but it's true. | |
The inflation is real. | ||
It's true, though, but it's true. | ||
unidentified
|
The inflation is real. | |
Whenever Trump was in office, it took me about $45 to fill up, and now it's about $75 to $80. | ||
A lot of pain every time you go to the gas pump, and I know I'm not the only one. | ||
Pain at the pump? | ||
unidentified
|
Pain at the pump? | |
Anyway, all right. | ||
It's so funny. | ||
It was three black guys in a row and they all had the exact same deal. | ||
But you know what it is? | ||
It's they're not even people confuse this. | ||
When the GOP puts black people on the stage, they think they're pandering to black people. | ||
They think that black people are going to watch this and say, oh, gee, look, black people, the Republican Party isn't racist. | ||
I think I'm going to vote for them. | ||
They think that's what they're doing. | ||
What they're actually doing is pandering to white people who want to feel good and not feel racist, who crave to be accepted by black people and liberals. | ||
That's who it's really for. | ||
That's not the intended target, but that is effectively the target. | ||
Because look at the audience at the RNC. | ||
It's all white people. | ||
And if you go back to 2016, The people that voted for Donald Trump were 90% white. | ||
90% of Trump voters in 2016 were white, according to the exit polls. | ||
So when they roll out these black people to go up and say, I was the son of a bartender and a maid, you know, like Rubio. | ||
I'm a grandson of a slave. | ||
My daddy worked for everything he had. | ||
And they talk about how they're in the military and this, this is not a racist country. | ||
They all say that. | ||
That's when white people, white people, their hair stands up on the back of their neck. | ||
When an articulate black man in a suit and a red tie gets up on a stage and says, I believe in America! | ||
This is not a racist country! | ||
The hair on boomers' necks stands straight up. | ||
A chill goes down their spine. | ||
They're elated. | ||
This is how it feels to chew five gum when you get a black person, whether it's Tim Scott or John James or Wesley, whatever, you know, any of these guys, when they get up and say, the American dream is alive. | ||
unidentified
|
My grandfather was a slave, but I got, but I believe in the Lord. | |
White people love that. | ||
There is nothing white conservatives love more than like for a black person to come up and say, your country isn't racist. | ||
But you know what? | ||
That belies the reality of the country, which, and don't get me wrong, I want to be very clear. | ||
I actually think that's great. | ||
I actually don't have a problem with that at all. | ||
I think that's what we want people to do in this country. | ||
Okay. | ||
I mean, I make jokes and everything, but I don't hate, like, black people or whatever. | ||
We want them to be successful. | ||
We want them to be Christian. | ||
We want them to make money and everything. | ||
Alright, hold that thought. | ||
unidentified
|
We'll pick this up after this speech. | |
Oops. | ||
Good evening. | ||
I'm Sarah Workman from the great state of Arizona. | ||
Okay. | ||
I'm honored to be here tonight on behalf of everyday Americans. | ||
I'm a single mother who works two jobs to support my family. | ||
I know Americans can relate. | ||
Thanks for dressing up. | ||

When I say that every time I fill up my gas tank, Nah, it's a big deal or anything. | |

Wait, is she a congresswoman? | ||
She's just a random? | ||

I'm gonna look her up. | ||
She's not a Congresswoman. | ||
She's just a random. | ||
unidentified
|
I'm going to look her up. | |
She's just a mother. | ||
Mother is mothering. | ||
While the left is trying to divide us with identity politics, we are here tonight. | ||
I'm a mom. | ||
unidentified
|
Because we believe that America is always, and should be, one nation under God. | |
Let's go. | ||
Love that. | ||
America first. | ||
unidentified
|
Amen. | |
In addition to the economic pain, the Democrats' open border policies have shattered my family. | ||
With drugs so readily available, my husband fell victim to the drug epidemic. | ||
It tore our family apart. | ||
And now I raise my son alone. | ||
But I know there is hope. | ||
Beautiful American. | ||
unidentified
|
We love her. | |
These are good people. | ||
These are good people. | ||
I love these people. | ||

The wild guy. | |
This guy's everywhere. | ||
unidentified
|
God bless her. | |
That is what this election represents for all of us who have been forgotten over the last four years. | ||
Hope. | ||
We need God in our hearts and Donald Trump back in the White House. | ||
Let's go. | ||
If you're watching tonight and you hear your own story and mine, Donald Trump put me on this stage to show that he hears us, he sees us, and we are forgotten no more. | ||
I find peace in God's promise that says, if my people who are called by my name would humble themselves and pray, I will heal your nation. | ||
Love it. | ||
Everyday American. | ||
Love that. | ||
These are good people. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, here we go. | |
Alright. | ||
Oh, here she comes again. | ||
Try not to goon. | ||
unidentified
|
No edging. | |
No edging when she talks. | ||
Remember when she gave the response to State of the Union? | ||
unidentified
|
Turn up the AC, sheesh. | |
We need to change the direction of our nation. | ||
She's so bad, it's crazy. | ||
And Donald Trump is the change we need. | ||
To my fellow moms and dads across America, I think we all know that raising a family is hard. | ||
Add in smartphones and social media, and we already had plenty to worry about. | ||
But then Joe Biden and Kamala Harris came around. | ||
Now our lives are that much more difficult and way more expensive. | ||
Under Biden-Harris, prices are high and expectations, well, they're low. | ||
Grocery prices are up more than 21 percent. | ||
Electricity is up 31 percent. | ||
Gas is up 48 percent. | ||
Mortgage rates have more than doubled. | ||
And rent is skyrocketing. | ||
To me, these aren't just numbers. | ||
This is pain for millions of Americans. | ||
It means that so many American families have to live with so much less. | ||
This is too high a price to pay for an administration that has brought us to such lows. | ||
Alright, this isn't as hot as the last one. | ||
unidentified
|
The American people won't have the wool pulled over our eyes. | |
This isn't as hot as the first one. | ||
unidentified
|
We see how Biden and Harris keep making things worse. | |
And we know the current president is not capable of turning things around. | ||
I don't know what happened. | ||
I'm not even chubbed up or anything. | ||
unidentified
|
His weakness is costing us. | |
Our opportunity. | ||
Our prosperity. | ||
Our security. | ||
Our safety. | ||
Each diminished, all in decline, just like the man in the Oval Office. | ||
And it doesn't have to be this way. | ||
Remember the first one? | ||
unidentified
|
Under President Trump, we have been strong in the economy in history. | |
They're getting raped over and over again. | ||
They're locked in a room on a mattress. | ||
That was insane. | ||
Her response to the State of the Union was insane. | ||
This is not it. | ||
This is not nearly as hot as the first one. | ||
unidentified
|
That's what Donald Trump will deliver. | |
Thank you. | ||
With President Trump, the tough choice was which job offer to accept. | ||
Now, it's which second job to take just to pay the bills. | ||
Your family can't afford this costly and dangerous decline for four more years. | ||
Four more years of Biden-Harris will impose a lifetime of financial damage on our children and our nation. | ||
It is time to return President Trump to the White House. | ||
Yes! | ||
Let's go. | ||
Republicans will put parents, families, and hardworking Americans first. | ||
With President Trump back in the White House, we will reawaken the exceptionalism of the greatest nation ever known. | ||
We will defeat decline, dust off our dreams, and forge our future. | ||
Because families across our nation deserve better. | ||
Once again, America will be the land of limitless opportunity for all. | ||
And paving that path starts today. | ||
So let's roll up our sleeves, send President Trump back to the White House, and get America back on track. | ||
God bless. | ||
Great. | ||
Yeah, I don't know. | ||
What was she going for that one? | ||
It wasn't even hot at all. | ||
unidentified
|
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome United States Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina. | |
There we go. | ||
This guy again. | ||
This guy's given another speech. | ||
unidentified

It's like the fourth time he's been up. | |
Bring on somebody else. | ||
Is this the nominee or is Trump? | ||
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
Wow! | ||
Oh my gosh. | ||
Pink tie. | ||
That's not on. | ||
You know, when everyone thinks you're gay, you can't really wear a pink tie, I think, actually. | ||
Hello, Milwaukee! | ||
Are you ready for four more years of Donald Trump? | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, me too! | |
No, that's very racist. | ||
We can't make that joke. | ||
You better be believin' right now! | ||
Thank God Almighty that we live in a country that still believes in the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, the Alpha and the Omega! | ||
unidentified
|
And our God! | |
Our God still saves, he still delivers, and he still sets free. | ||
Because on Saturday, the devil came to Pennsylvania holding a rifle. | ||
But an American lion got back up on his feet and he roared! | ||
unidentified

Oh, yeah! | |
He roared! | ||
Oh brother! | ||
Yes! | ||
Oh, brother. - Yeah! | ||
Yes, he did! | ||
unidentified
|
Yes, he did! - Love it, though. | |
It's innocent. | ||
It's very innocent. | ||
This is a difficult time for our nation. | ||
Inflation is crushing families. | ||
Illegal immigration is crushing American workers. | ||
Failing schools and victimhood culture are crushing our poorest kids. | ||
And the weakness of the Commander-in-Chief has invited world wars all around our world. | ||
Joe Biden is asleep at the wheel and we're headed over a cliff. | ||
We hear despair in the voices of a millennial couple raising two kids in a one-bedroom apartment because they can't afford a house. | ||
We see pain on the faces of Gold Star parents because their Commander-in-Chief Joe Biden literally forgets their son died in uniform on his watch. | ||
America, we deserve better. | ||
We deserve so much better. | ||
I was raised by a single mom in poverty. | ||
We had plastic spoons, not silver spoons. | ||
How many times are we going to do this tonight? | ||
We ate mud. | ||
take responsibility and reject victimhood. | ||
unidentified
|
We ate mud. | |
We ate mud and we lived in a hut. | ||
I know this is going to offend the liberal elites. | ||
Every time I say it, it offends them. | ||
But let me say it one more time. | ||
America is not a racist country. | ||
unidentified
|
No, we're not. | |
Okay, we live in hell. | ||
But if you were looking for racism today, you'd find it in cities run by Democrats. | ||
I know it's not politically correct to say this, but America is not a racist country. | ||
Four black kids trapped in failing schools. | ||
Thousands shot every single year, including one of my former interns, Daquan. | ||
But there's good news. | ||
It's conservative values that restores hope. | ||
Senator Scott? | ||
It's Daquan. | ||
He's in the ER. | ||
Daquan has been shot. | ||
He's in the ER. | ||
I partnered. | ||
I partnered with the greatest president of my generation, President Donald J. Trump. | ||

My intern, Daquan. | |
Oh my goodness. | ||

Daquan, stay with me! | ||
Tax cuts ever for working people and single moms. | ||
Daquan, stay with me. | ||
For neighborhoods that need the most. | ||
unidentified
|
Tell them America's not racist. | |
They give illegal immigrants free hotel rooms while our veterans, while our veterans sleep on the streets. | ||
Disgusting. | ||
Disgusting. | ||
Trump secured our border once and Donald Trump will secure it again. | ||
Hit the Quan. | ||
We all are saying in the chat, hit the Quan. | ||
This November. | ||
That's funny. | ||
We can't laugh about that, though. | ||
We're not deciding simply the fate for the next four years. | ||
We're setting a course for the next 40 years. | ||
I see our heartland filled with huge American factories, powered by abundant American energy, building what America needs, building what America needs, creating generational wealth for blue-collar workers. | ||
You see, We are the Republican Party of Frederick Douglass and of Abraham Lincoln. | ||
What? | ||
unidentified

Of Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump. | |
Oh my goodness. | ||

My mama know how to stretch a dollar. | ||
My mama always told me, Tim, you got to work. | ||
Working 16-hour days in Nevada and a black teenager in Philly starving for opportunity. | ||
We're not just the grand old party of the past. | ||
unidentified
|
My mama always told me the white man ain't gonna respect you, lest you know your history. | |
And there's only, hear me clearly, and there's only one person who can make that vision a reality. and there's only one person who can make that vision Donald J. Trump! | ||
God bless America. | ||

|
America. | |
All right. | ||
Oh! | ||
Another little break. | ||
Coming up, Glenn Youngkin. | ||
unidentified
|
All right. | |
Okay. | ||
I don't think we need to hear from that guy anymore. | ||
I think he's been up like four times. | ||
Can somebody else do a round up there? | ||
unidentified
|
That's funny, man. | |
Literally, didn't I say that? | ||
I'm like, yeah. | ||
White people love to hear America's not racist. | ||
And then one after the other. | ||
unidentified
|
My mama ain't had a dollar. | |
My mama ain't got a dollar. | ||
And then it's, you know, America is not a racist country. | ||
Well, you know, maybe that's part of the problem. | ||
Actually, you know, maybe that's part of the problem. | ||
You know, when I look around at some of the problems, I am reminded that America is not a racist country. | ||
When I see people burning down Minneapolis and George Floyd's head towering over the city skyline, I'm reminded that, yes, you are correct. | ||
America is not a racist country. | ||
But, you know, maybe that's actually part of the issue. | ||
Maybe there's a deficit of racism, actually. | ||
unidentified
|
It's like, correct. | |
But anyway, so what I was saying before he came up there is, you know, I actually, it's good, I think, that black people can succeed in America. | ||
The problem, which I didn't get to, everybody's like, oh, you're cucking. | ||
No, no. | ||
Here's the problem. | ||
The reality is the genetic IQ gap. | ||
And so no amount of this kind of wish-casting and opportunity zones and freedom and all this talk is going to bridge that gap. | ||
The reality is that IQ is a determinative for what you are able to do, what kind of jobs you're able to work, and how well you are able to integrate in society, how groupable and sociable you are. | ||
And so when the average IQ is a full standard deviation below white people, you cannot expect there to be equal outcomes. | ||
That's the reality. | ||
There are millions of black people It's not going to happen for them. | ||
And it's not their fault. | ||
It's sort of a tragic and sad thing. | ||
But the idea that we're going to put guys like Tim Scott on the stage and they're going to be good Republicans and start small businesses, it just belies the reality of the situation. | ||
So, you know, don't get me wrong. | ||
I think there should be opportunity for people to succeed. | ||
But by the same token, Expecting there to be equality of outcome just by liberalizing regulations and things like that, it will never happen. | ||
So we kind of need a more realistic approach. | ||
But I understand this is politics. | ||
I understand this is retail politics, and it is what it is. | ||
You know, there is a certain amount of cynicism in it, and there's a certain amount of pragmatism involved in this kind of display. | ||
Everybody knows what's going on. | ||
It is what it is. | ||
But the sad thing is, people actually buy into it and believe it, and that's the problem. | ||
But anyway, I mean, I, of course, I'm making jokes. | ||
We're having fun. | ||
It is all jokes. | ||
The Republicans are good people. | ||
I think they're earnest. | ||
I think a lot of them are misguided. | ||
I think they're being led by people that are sinister. | ||
But these are very good people. | ||
You know, and that was something that when Trump was shot on Saturday, That was something that really, I think it touched everybody. | ||
Trump goes down, and you could see the people were devastated. | ||
And this is in rural Pennsylvania. | ||
This is in Butler, about an hour north of Pittsburgh. | ||
And so it's all these rural, forgotten white people in Pennsylvania. | ||
They go out to see Trump. | ||
They're in their merch. | ||
They got their shirts and hats on. | ||
They go out there to see their hero, their icon. | ||
And whatever you think about Trump, what he represents to the people is hope. | ||
He represents God, country, order, and true belief itself. | ||
He gave them something to believe in. | ||
And so when they saw him go down, you could see they were devastated. | ||
And when Trump got up and raised the fist, What really gets me, I mean, that's unbelievable by itself. | ||
But to then see the crowd get up, literally jump to their feet, screaming, pumping their fist. | ||
That's when you realize, like, this is such an awesome movement. | ||
All right, we got a video playing. | ||
We don't really need to watch the video. | ||
It's more just like anti-Biden stuff. | ||
But that's what really touched me. | ||
Because Trump, in that moment, instinctually recognizes, and this is what a leader does, He sensed the danger, the fear. | ||
He got shot. | ||
Imagine if they just, if it was Biden, they'd be carrying him out on a stretcher. | ||
If it was Biden, he would have crumpled on the floor and they'd be literally carrying his limp body into an ambulance. | ||
And imagine what that would have felt like and what that would have looked like. | ||
But Trump, in that moment, instinctually said, no. | ||
I need to show them I'm okay. | ||
I need to show them I'm not afraid. | ||
And so he's literally, and he said this, bullets whizzing past his head. | ||
That's how he knew. | ||
He heard a bullet whiz past his head and one of them struck him. | ||
He's getting shot at. | ||
He doesn't know what's going on. | ||
He gets up, wait, raises the fist. | ||
And the people in the midst of the danger, one guy, God bless him, got his head blown off. | ||
Horrible tragedy. | ||
And in the midst of all this, everybody else gets up and they reflect, they give that courage back to him. | ||
And you realize these are good people. | ||
These are decent. | ||
They're simple, but they're decent, earnest, innocent people. | ||
And they're looking for leadership. | ||
And you know, that's what Trump is giving to them. | ||
So, you know, of course, I'm very critical of Trump. | ||
The politics is always more complex. | ||
Trump is a remarkable human being. | ||
He's a remarkable person. | ||
The politics is always more complex. | ||
And the politics, as you know, I have very mixed feelings about it. | ||
But it cannot be overstated what he means to the people. | ||
And what he means to them is the power of belief in itself. | ||
It's the idea that we can believe in ourselves and believe in a country. | ||
And there is something about this. | ||
I think there really is a tension between liberals and conservatives. | ||
Liberals have this clinical view of everything. | ||
Everything is deductive, reductive. | ||
It's about reducing, making things small, deconstructing, shining a harsh light on things. | ||
And stripping away myth, illusion, these kind of poetic truths. | ||
And what Trump and the conservative movement represents is the opposite. | ||
It's the power of faith and belief and believing in something bigger and believing in ourselves. | ||
And telling a story by the fireside and the warmth of the fire and maybe taking some Yes! | ||
Taking some poetic liberties, but to serve a larger truth that we know on a level that's above the rational. | ||
Anyway, but more on that in a moment. | ||

Whoops. | |
Why is this doing this? | ||

|
Okay. | |
Glenn Youngkin. | ||
Yes, Joe must go. | ||
Good evening. | ||
I'm Glenn Youngkin, the governor of the home of Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe, the great Commonwealth of Virginia. the great Commonwealth of Virginia. | ||
Tonight we stop for a moment. | ||
We ask for God's grace to be on innocent victims. | ||
We ask him to be with their families. | ||
We thank him for this moment of unity. | ||
And we thank him for protecting our next president, Donald J. Trump. | ||
And tonight, our nation can have the conversation that so many families have at their kitchen tables. | ||
Yes, those tough conversations. | ||
How do we make it all work? | ||
The conversation young families from Midlothian, Virginia, to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, whose dreams of buying a home have been shattered by 7.5% mortgage rates. | ||
The veterans from Fredericksburg, Virginia, to Phoenix, Arizona, whose raises can't keep up with 30% increases in grocery prices and 40% increases in gas. | ||
The retirees from Roanoke, Virginia, to Reno, Nevada, whose fixed income has been crushed by the silent thief of inflation unleashed by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. | ||
Tonight, America, the land of opportunity, just doesn't feel like that anymore. | ||
But eight years ago, Eight years ago, there was an outsider, a businessman, who stepped out of his career to rebuild a great nation with the strongest economy, the mightiest military, energy independence, unlimited opportunity, lifting up every American. | ||
That outsider businessman was Donald J. Trump, and he will do it again. | ||
I'm proud to be a homegrown Virginian, from a family like a lot of families, with ups and downs and highs and lows. | ||
My mom was a nurse, and she was my hero. | ||
She pulled our family together after my dad lost his job. | ||
At 15, washing dishes and flipping eggs, I learned that there is dignity in work. | ||
At the height of the pandemic four years ago, I asked my amazing wife Suzanne to go on a walk with me. | ||
I told her I planned to quit my job and run for governor. | ||
She looked at me with tears in her eyes and a quivering lip and asked, Governor of what? | ||
People are saying washing eggs and flipping dishes. | ||
Every speech, my parents were poor. | ||
I worked hard. | ||

|
After 12 years of only electing Democrats statewide, in November 2021, Virginians elected a Republican outside businessman as their 74th governor. | |
Youngkin is nothing like Trump, please. | ||
I love how Trump, Trump was such a breath of fresh air because he came out there and he's like, I'm really rich. | ||
I got a lot of money. | ||
Every Republican gets up there and they're like, my parents were poor and I worked hard and I cleaned dishes and Trump was like, I'm really rich. | ||

Top state for business. | ||
I wasn't paying attention. | ||
Friends, could this election be more simple? | ||
It's common sense versus chaos. | ||
It's strength versus weakness. | ||
Friends, it's not just Republicans who see this. | ||
It's Republicans, independents, and lots of Democrats. | ||
It's Americans. | ||
Under President Trump, America had high growth and low inflation. | ||
Under Joe Biden, America has low growth and high inflation. | ||
Sixty-six percent of Americans now live paycheck to paycheck. | ||
Moms and dads worrying, can they buy new shoes for their kids? | ||
All you care about is money. | ||

- To write the tuition check for college. | |
- It's all about money. - Will they ever be able to retire? | ||
Under President Trump, 2.4 million Americans were lifted out of poverty. | ||
Women, black Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans all saw record low employment. | ||
Under Donald J. Trump, we once again will have that rip-roaring economy that lifts up all Americans. | ||
That is our tomorrow. | ||
But it is the money day. | ||
It's make America wealthy again is the theme. | ||
So it makes sense. | ||
Look at this guy. | ||
God bless him. | ||

A tomorrow where work is celebrated. | |
Where taxes are cut and inflation is slashed. | ||
Where we cut red tape. | ||
Where we unleash American energy dominance. | ||
Where businesses proudly say, Made in America! | ||
Yes. | ||
Where entrepreneurs dream and small businesses thrive. | ||
Where Americans from any background can pour their God-given talents into building their American dream. | ||
This is the moment. | ||
This is our moment to make America the land of opportunity again. | ||
A nation built on a basic truth. | ||
That we are granted certain unalienable rights, not by a king, but by an almighty creator. | ||
And that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. | ||
Our foundational principles are non-negotiable. | ||
They are inscribed on our national soul. | ||
My fellow Americans, the spirit of hope is spreading. | ||
Everyone can feel it, and it will sweep across this nation when we elect Donald J. Trump, the 47th President of the United States. | ||
May God bless you. | ||
And may God bless the United States of America. | ||

Four years ago, I dared to say that we were blessed by Donald J. Trump, a builder. | ||
I love Mexicans, though. | ||
Mexicans are awesome. | ||

But more than a builder, he's a great leader. | |
No, do not hate on Mexicans. | ||

And he will bring this nation closer to God. | |
He will bring strength to America. | ||
And he will bring prosperity back to America. | ||
And that's what my grandfather did as a 17-year-old in 1903. | ||
He packed his clothes and his dreams in a suitcase and he got aboard a steamship. | ||
Like millions of other immigrants, he sought nothing more than a chance to build a better life. | ||
Nice. | ||
His American dream began when he opened a small grocery store in Manhattan. | ||
With love and determination, he built it into the largest Hispanic-owned food company in the United States. | ||
Nice. | ||
Thank you. | ||

The Biden-Harris administration disrespects our values and has abused our community. | ||
They buried our businesses with inflation and government red tape. | ||
They even used the FBI to go after traditional Catholics as if we were terrorists. | ||
Let's go. | ||
They put out the welcome mat for drug cartels. | ||
Biden's open door policies is all the more insidious. | ||
Let's go. | ||
In soft terms like compassion and sanctuary. | ||
In reality, it is cruel. | ||
Joe Biden's open southern border facilitates the largest criminal enterprise in the world, which disproportionately victimizes Latinos, especially children. | ||
Last year, an HHS whistleblower testified that the United States was the middleman in a large-scale child trafficking operation. | ||
Very diverse convention if you haven't noticed. | ||

Instead of lifting people out of poverty, Their policies are making our lives worse. | ||
For many Latinos, it's déjà vu. | ||
I'll even know that's French. | ||
I don't know how to say that in Spanish. | ||
I'm sorry. | ||
The Cuban philosopher José Martí said, mankind is composed of two sorts of men. | ||
those who love and create, and those who hate and destroy. | ||
Joe Biden and his allies... | ||
Did they all put those hats on just for him or what? | ||
It feels deeply racist. | ||
unidentified
|
I think they all put the cowboy hats on for the Hispanic guy and I'm a little offended. | |
Or did they have those on the whole time? | ||
On the other hand, Donald Trump loves this country. | ||
He loves us. | ||
And he knows how to build and create. | ||
He understands that lasting prosperity is built on a foundation of family, faith, work, and freedom. | ||
And there he is again. | ||
They keep panning to the only Hispanic guy. | ||
unidentified

That's the third time they showed him. | |
That's funny. | ||
The firm belief that with God all things are possible. | ||
He will make America great again. | ||
Love you guys. | ||
Love you guys. | ||
Thank you. | ||
All right. | ||
I hate this song. | ||
Okay, Goya Bean... Goya Bean W. What do you guys think of the convention so far? | ||
W or L? | ||
Chat, hey chat, what do you think of the convention? | ||
W or L? | ||
W convention or L convention? | ||
I think it's pretty standard fare. | ||
L? | ||
Everybody's saying L. Yeah, you know, this just goes to show what the GOP would be without Trump at the center of it. | ||
And honestly, Trump is drifting closer and closer to this. | ||
That's sort of my problem. | ||
I know that the theme of today is prosperity. | ||
It's make America wealthy again. | ||
So I understand they're all talking about inflation, unemployment, and so on. | ||
Here's the problem. | ||
That message is actually not very based. | ||
Like, we have structural economic problems. | ||
Structural. | ||
In other words, we need a total overhaul of the economy, and it has a lot more to do with currency and trade than it has to do with taxes and spending. | ||
And this is something that Trump was talking about. | ||
Notice the difference. | ||
When Trump came in 2016, he did talk about deregulating and he did talk about cutting taxes, but he also mainly talked about trade. | ||
The first thing he said when he announced he was running in 2016, he came out and said, when was the last time you saw a Chevrolet in Tokyo? | ||
It doesn't exist. | ||
That was like the first or second thing he said in his announcement speech in 2016. | ||
When do Republicans talk about trade? | ||
When do Republicans talk about the trade deficit? | ||
Or what America exports? | ||
Republicans always talk about taxes. | ||
They talk about cutting taxes and deregulating. | ||
But they almost never talk about trade. | ||
And Trump came out there very strongly and said, we're not selling cars to the world. | ||
We have a trade deficit. | ||
He said, everything we make, we make in Mexico, or we make in China, and we're losing manufacturing. | ||
And he said, if an American automobile company opens up a factory in Mexico, he said, I'm going to put a tariff on their cars and say you're going to make it in America. | ||
When do Republicans talk about tariffs, trade, exports? | ||
They never do. | ||
And Trump actually said that we would use tariffs to make our country rich. | ||
He said we would use tariffs to fund the government. | ||
We would tax remittances to fund the border wall. | ||
He said and we would use trade to reindustrialize America. | ||
That is actually a revolutionary platform and that's actually a platform that speaks to the people that have really been screwed over. | ||
Because the people that have been screwed over, it's the next generation. | ||
But in the older generation, it's the manufacturing workers that used to have jobs. | ||
25, 30 years ago, there were small workshops across America. | ||
There was manufacturing in America. | ||
But all those jobs got sent overseas. | ||
And even now, they're not even bringing them back. | ||
They're doing friend-shoring or near-shoring, where they bring in Mexico or Malaysia or Indonesia. | ||
So the GOP without Trump, without 2016 Trump, is just right back to the neoliberal ideology where it's all about cut the corporate tax rate. | ||
It's literally just trickle-down economics. | ||
Cut taxes on corporations. | ||
That's what the 2018 tax bill was about. | ||
Cut the corporate tax rate. | ||
And then the theory is that when these companies have more capital, that they're going to be able to invest and they're going to be able to create jobs and so on. | ||
But I don't think that that actually tracks with American prosperity. | ||
Because yes, nominally the GDP has gone up over the past 45 years. | ||
But in real terms, America is a lot less wealthy now than it was 40 years ago. | ||
The only reason that America has a nominally higher GDP is because of the tech companies, because of the shale oil boom. | ||
But we don't make anything anymore. | ||
If you actually look at the structure of our economy, we don't make anything. | ||
The productive sectors of the economy only account for 15% of the GDP, and that's agriculture, construction, and manufacturing. | ||
85% of the economy is services. | ||
And if you look at the leaders of the stock market, it's all software companies. | ||
It's all tech companies that make their stuff elsewhere. | ||
So this whole neoliberal doctrine of cutting taxes and financialization and the rise of private equity and venture capital, it actually hasn't made America richer. | ||
And you could see that this is what happened in Europe. | ||
We can see this in the war in Ukraine. | ||
When we put all these tariffs on Russia, guess what? | ||
Russia was fine. | ||
Or rather, not tariff sanctions. | ||
When we put all the sanctions on Russia, Russia was fine. | ||
It was Europe that got destroyed. | ||
Because Russia has fertilizer. | ||
And Russia has nickel. | ||
And Russia has natural gas and oil. | ||
And Germany found out that you can't print money and use money to power your factories. | ||
You need natural gas. | ||
And natural gas comes through pipelines which take years to build. | ||
And it can't be easily or cheaply replaced by LNG. | ||
So Trump came in with this revolutionary Protectionist policy in the GOP and realigned the GOP into a protectionist party. | ||
Said maybe we get rid of income tax altogether. | ||
Maybe we fund the government through tariffs because the world needs our markets. | ||
And the world needs our goods. | ||
So maybe we put up all these tariffs and we can fund the government that way, and then use that to diminish the tax burden on Americans. | ||
And we could also use that, by the way, to bring back manufacturing and give Americans manufacturing jobs, which has all sorts of benefits. | ||
So in the absence of that, you get the platform that we've heard today, which is all about, oh, inflation is bad. | ||
But guess what? | ||
The GOP, somebody sent me this article, Lea McGrath, who, she's liberal, but I actually like her. | ||
She sent me this article right before I went live. | ||
They're talking about devaluing the dollar when Trump gets back in. | ||
They talk about inflation, but they don't talk about the root cause. | ||
Why is inflation out of control? | ||
Because 80% of the money that exists today was printed during the pandemic. | ||
Because we had record deficits. | ||
We had five, six trillion dollar deficits during the pandemic while we shut down the economy, while we expanded the money supply. | ||
And people say, oh, inflation, inflation. | ||
Yeah, that tends to happen when there's no productivity for a year, but consumption is subsidized by printing and by spending. | ||
So yes, of course there's inflation. | ||
It's because of the COVID lockdown and the subsequent bailout. | ||
So they're talking about the same playbook. | ||
They complain about inflation. | ||
They complain about people dying of fentanyl in the Rust Belt or in the interior of the country. | ||
But they're not talking about the real problem, which is that America has been de-industrialized. | ||
We have a financialized economy. | ||
It's all services. | ||
There's no production happening. | ||
And on some level, it's deeply related to the military. | ||
They talk about having a mighty military. | ||
Well, how mighty is your military when the things that you need for optics, the things that you need for airplanes and for nuclear reactors and even the nuclear arsenal, all those raw materials we get from China. | ||
Yeah, we could probably make them in America, but all the raw materials, the rare earths, and everything else, it's all in China, it's all in Congo, it's in Zimbabwe. | ||
So, I wish that at this convention... You know, the problem is, here we are, nine years later, after Trump came down the escalator, and it's the same GOP. | ||
That shows the changes were not institutionalized. | ||
So anyway. | ||

|
But that's important stuff. - Hi. | |
Thank you. | ||
Good evening! | ||

Boo! | |
Dog killer! | ||
You all look fantastic! | ||
I love the cowboy hats. | ||
And a shout out to South Dakota! | ||
unidentified
|
Hi! | |
Woo! | ||
I'm Governor Kristi Noem from the great state of South Dakota. | ||
She is hot, though. | ||
You can't deny it, she is hot. | ||
Leadership has consequences. | ||
It matters who's in the White House. | ||
Now, I've been governor under both President Trump and Joe Biden. | ||
And people ask me all the time, what's the biggest difference? | ||
And I tell them that President Trump honored the Constitution. | ||
She probably smells really good though. | ||
Imagine giving her a hug. | ||
If I gave her a hug, I would totally smell her hair. | ||
I'd be subtle about it. | ||
But I'd take a big whiff. | ||
She probably smells good. | ||
And when she walks around, probably all her jewelry jingles. | ||
You can probably hear her coming, like the click-clack of the heels and all the jingling. | ||
You know, these Republican women, they always have the crazy jewelry. | ||
It's crazy. | ||
unidentified
|
Just saying. | |
was the only state in the country that stayed open for business. | ||
unidentified
|
Just saying. | |
I'm just being honest. | ||
We didn't mandate anything. | ||
Oh, you wouldn't? | ||
You wouldn't smell her hair? | ||
Yeah, right. | ||
I never even defined what an essential business was, because I don't believe that the government has the authority to tell you that your business isn't essential. | ||
When other states were pushing mandates and lockdowns, instead in South Dakota, we hit the gas. | ||
We embraced liberty. | ||
We told our story and we invited people to come and to enjoy our beautiful state. | ||
Now, all of the things that conservatives have always talked about, we just did it. | ||
And it worked. | ||
unidentified
|
Our economy took off. | |
And since I've been governor, we broke the national record for the lowest unemployment rate in American history at 1.8 percent. | ||
In South Dakota, everybody works. | ||
We paid off state debts and bonds. | ||
We fixed dams and bridges. | ||
We built roads. | ||
We have a fully funded pension plan and a triple-A credit rating. | ||
We broke records for surpluses and we balance our budget every single year. | ||
And last year, last year in South Dakota, we passed the largest tax cut in South Dakota history. | ||
Under my administration, incomes in our state have gone up 36%. | ||
Women-owned businesses are thriving. | ||
We also have the highest birth rate in the nation. | ||
People are having babies because they're happy. | ||
unidentified
|
W? | |
And in South Dakota, we have babies. | ||
More white babies. | ||
People always say, hey, save the bees. | ||
Save the white race. | ||
unidentified
|
White people are always talking about, save the bees. | |
Save the wilderness. | ||
How about save our race? | ||
How about save our dying race? | ||
unidentified
|
And have kids. | |
We're growing so fast that we needed more workers to catch up. | ||
So we launched the most successful workforce recruitment campaign in the history of South Dakota. | ||
And they have come by the thousands to join us and to live with us. | ||
Do you guys remember those ads when I was a really lousy plumber? | ||
And a really terrible electrician? | ||
Do you remember those? | ||
No. | ||
Well, since we started those ads, we have seen a 78% increase in licensed plumbers in the state of South Dakota. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay, but we kind of need, like, scientists. | |
We've seen a 44% increase in electricians in our state. | ||
Now, people aren't moving to South Dakota for our beaches or for our beautiful January weather. | ||
They are moving to our state for opportunity and for freedom. | ||
And all of this happened because our people were bold. | ||
We took action. | ||
And I was strong. | ||
Now South Dakota proved that freedom will make America wealthy again. | ||
Somebody in the chat says 1-800-LATE-PIPE. | ||
You dirty dog. | ||
You gotta get out of here with that. | ||
I love all the hats by the way. | ||
I love the construction... Wait, did she say JD Vance? | ||
I love the cowboy hats, construction hats, MAGA hats. | ||
Two days ago, the whole world changed. | ||
Evil displayed itself in the very worst way, through a cowardly act. | ||
An innocent American lost his life and we will continue to lift his family up in our prayers every single day. | ||
Prior to this week, we already knew that President Donald Trump was a fighter. | ||
He is the toughest man that I have ever met. | ||
Nobody has endured more than what he has gone through. | ||
They've attacked his reputation, they impeached him, they tried to bankrupt him, and they unjustly prosecuted him. | ||
But even in the most perilous moment this week, his instinct was to stand and to fight. | ||
-Afee. -Donald J. Trump is our man in the arena. | ||
He will never stop fighting for us. | ||
He will never stop, and now he is bringing all of us together. | ||
Now I know that many of you are angry, but now is the time to unite. | ||
And we have to get to work. | ||
We have to win the hearts and minds of every single American. | ||
Wake them up with truth and with wisdom. | ||
We need to listen to them. | ||

|
You can't win people over by arguing with them. | |
Visit with your neighbors, at your job, at your church, at the gas station, or even at the grocery store. | ||
Listen. | ||
There are moments in our history, often after great hardship and tragedy, when true leaders unite our country. | ||
At one time, President Lincoln, he united our country. | ||
He delivered my favorite presidential address of all time. | ||
In fact, it's the only speech or poem or song that I ever made my kids memorize when they were young, when they were little. | ||
It was the Gettysburg Address. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, brother. | |
And it was delivered during our nation's bloodiest conflict. | ||
That speech so inspired people that they continued to fight for years. | ||
They never talk about Georgia. | ||
What about Washington? | ||
And they lost loved ones. | ||
In order to preserve this union, we call... | ||
What about Washington? | ||
...United States of America. What about Hamilton? Hmm? | ||
It's always Lincoln this. | ||
And I like Lincoln, but come on now. | ||
Now at that time, President Lincoln encouraged us to take increased devotion. | ||
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom. | ||
and that a government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from this earth. | ||
Like Lincoln in the midst of our pain and division, Donald Trump is calling us to be touched by the better angels of our nature. | ||
As Paul wrote in 2 Timothy, God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and a sound mind. | ||
We must not be afraid. | ||
Even in our darkest days, we have never once given up hope. | ||
So don't quit on America. | ||
If we lose this country, where else will we go that provides more freedom and opportunity for our kids and our grandkids? | ||
And I've got three grandkids, and I'm counting on a whole lot more. | ||
And yes, democracy can be messy, but there is a great, invisible strength to a people's union. | ||
We have shown the world that we can endure sacrifice, and that we can still unite. | ||
We should still aspire to be worthy of this union. | ||
America. | ||
President Donald J. Trump is the leader we need for such a time as this. | ||
So now, I need you to get to work. | ||
Get out there. | ||
Go do it. | ||
Don't quit. | ||
Keep fighting, keep uniting, keep talking to people, win the hearts and minds, and may God bless you, and may God continue to bless the great United States of America. | ||
Thank you. | ||

Donald Trump's surprise visit to a construction site. | |
Hundreds of cheering union members turned out to meet the former president, who's quite a scene. | ||
These are hardworking New Yorkers, okay, union members who have been working on this big construction site here. | ||
Yeah, like, there's just nothing being said here that is really landing for me. | ||
You compare the rhetoric of Trump in 2015 and 2016 to now, it's just, it's completely different. | ||
In 2015 and 2016, it was about, it was about something tangible, which is American greatness. | ||
It was the idea that we would make things and there would be a new city and the city would be beautiful and it would be orderly. | ||
That's really what Make America Great Again was about. | ||
It was about imagining and experiencing imminently a tangible future that was far better than this one. | ||
Bridges, highways, new buildings, you know, a thriving city. | ||
And where we are now is just more talk about freedom. | ||
Freedom and opportunity. | ||
What does that even really mean? | ||
People say freedom and opportunity, freedom and opportunity. | ||
You're going to cut taxes? | ||
That's not freedom and opportunity. | ||
They're going to cut taxes and cut regulations? | ||
That's not... People say, oh, they're coming to South Dakota for the freedom. | ||
No, I think they're coming to South Dakota because of the fracking, right? | ||

|
All right. | |
Union guy. | ||
Bobby Bartels Jr., business manager of Steamfitters Local 638. | ||
All right. | ||
Union guy. | ||
Good evening, everyone. | ||
My name is Bobby Bartels. | ||
I'm a proud member of Steamfitter's Local Union 638. | ||
And like many of my fellow union members, I've been a Democrat my whole life. | ||
And like so many of my fellow union members, we have come to expect empty promises from Democratic politicians. | ||
In 1986, after a decade of Democratic politicians' mismanagement, Central Park's iconic Wolman Ice Rink had fallen into an unusable state of disrepair. | ||
Politicians made promise after promise to fix the rink, and yet they did nothing. | ||
That's when Donald Trump stepped up. | ||
He wasn't mayor. | ||
He wasn't running for anything, but he was a guy who cared about people and he knew how to get a job done. | ||
He put his money and his reputation on the line and committed to getting it built. | ||
He did it using skilled local union labor like the men of Local 638. | ||
Together, we worked tirelessly on that project, completing it on time and ensuring kids would be skating that fall on that rink. | ||
And a quick note to President Biden, that involved working outside the hours of 10 a.m. | ||
and 4 p.m. | ||
Yeah, I think it's nap time for you, Sleepy Joe. | ||
unidentified
|
Early one hot summer morning on that job, I saw Donald Trump visiting the site. | |
I yelled out, are you here to buy us coffee? | ||
President walked right over, he wasn't a president at the time, but he walked right over, grinning, and handed me some cash, and told us it was too hot for coffee. | ||
Go buy sandwiches and drinks for everyone. | ||
What a guy. | ||
I love stories like that. | ||
Trump is such a guy. | ||
unidentified
|
Now, more than ever, we need a president who knows how to get things done. | |
We have an open border inviting illegal immigrants to take our American jobs and lower our wages. | ||
W. See, this guy's based. | ||
unidentified
|
Out-of-control inflation is squeezing budgets, and both violent crime and drug epidemic are pushing people out of our cities, all while Democrats do nothing. | |
Love it. | ||
That's why this union Democrat will be voting Trump along... | ||
Love it. | ||
Love it. Love it. | ||
Love it. | ||
Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. | ||
So that's why this union Democrat, along with many of my local union members, will be voting Trump this November. | ||
Love it. | ||
Love it. | ||
Yes. | ||
But notice how the union guy is the one that mentioned illegals. | ||
unidentified
|
So that we can take back the middle class, take back the country, and rebuild the middle class that my union has helped build over so many years. | |
God bless America. | ||
Thank you. | ||
That was the first mention of immigration, by the way, the entire night. | ||
Oh, this guy again? | ||
All right, it's getting a little ridiculous. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, get over yourself. | |
Give me a break. | ||
unidentified
|
That is so disrespectful and ignorant. | |
Good evening, Milwaukee. | ||
Jordan! Jordan! Jordan! Jordan! Jordan! Jordan! | ||
Look at this cuck. | ||
Cuck fast over here. | ||
You know, Milwaukee, we're on live television. | ||
You gotta let me get to the speech now. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, stop. | |
Only at the RNC would you get something so ridiculous. | ||
And I come from the great state of Florida. | ||
And I proudly represent the people of Southwest Florida. | ||
But I was raised by a single mother in Brooklyn, New York. | ||
Life was hard and we struggled. | ||
When I was in the first grade, my mother took me out of public school because she could see that public education was failing me. | ||
I needed to be challenged, and I needed the opportunity that only a private school could provide. | ||
My mother is an educator, and she truly believed in my potential. | ||
My mom always told me... The Democrat politicians wanted to trap me in a failing school, but my mom fought for me. | ||
unidentified
|
My mom! | |
Why always, always with the mama? | ||
Mammy! | ||
Mom, I just want to take this opportunity to say thank you. | ||
unidentified
|
It's black guys and their moms, always. | |
Thank you, mom. | ||
Words cannot describe how deeply grateful I am to be your son. | ||
When I was in the seventh grade, my mom lost her job. | ||
We went on government assistance and my grandma helped us pay for private school. | ||
My mom and my grandma sacrificed to ensure that I could build a successful future through a commitment to academic achievement and hard work. | ||
I'm standing here today as a result of their good and safe schools and great teachers. | ||
And to the teachers of America who pour your heart and your soul into your students and teach the next generation to love, honor, and serve our great country, we all say thank you. and serve our great country, we all say thank you. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
But what about those kids whose parents can't scrape money together for private school? | ||
Don't those kids who grew up like I grew up deserve the same chance that I had? | ||
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris sent their kids to high-priced private schools. | ||
But since they are in the pocket of the far-left teachers unions, they trap poor kids like me in failing schools with no way out. | ||
They say they're pro-choice, but not if you want a choice over what your kids are taught. | ||
Donald Trump believes every parent deserves a choice and every child deserves a chance. | ||
And in November, when Donald Trump is elected our nation's 47th president, President, we will make sure all America's children get that chance. | ||
Growing up poor, I know the pain of high food prices, high energy prices, and housing costs. | ||
I remember as a kid, my mom yelling at me, turn off that light! | ||
You don't pay the bill! | ||
We know there's a bunch of kids in America today who are hearing that from their parents. | ||
The massive inflation created by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris has only made it worse. | ||
During my first term in Congress, I stood up on the Budget Committee and the Small Business Committee. | ||
I told Joe Biden that his so-called American Rescue Plan was going to cause inflation. | ||
The Biden-Harris administration told us not to worry, but I knew better. | ||
I have nearly two decades of experience as a financial professional, and the evidence is in. | ||
Go to any grocery store. | ||
Buy eggs. | ||
Buy beef. | ||
Buy milk. | ||
Even housing prices have skyrocketed. | ||
All Americans deserve a shot at the American dream. | ||
But under Joe Biden's debilitating economic policies, far too many Americans, for far too many of them, that dream has slipped away. | ||
This shows that we were right, that Joe Biden was wrong, and that you, the American people, are paying the price. | ||
Yes, he was a financial advisor. | ||
I just looked it up. | ||
He was a financial advisor. | ||
I'mma work in finance. | ||
I'mma get my money right. | ||
I just looked it up. | ||
He was a financial advisor. | ||
But under President Trump, all of this will change. | ||
I'm going to work in finance. | ||
I'm going to get my money right. | ||
Of course, you've got to get your money right. | ||
And if there was ever a time in our nation to come together, that time is now. | ||
With Trump, our economy will boom again. | ||
unidentified
|
Amen. | |
You will have more money in your pocket again. | ||
And your children will have a future again. | ||
Together, I know we will make America wealthy again. | ||
And together, America, we will make America great again. | ||
God bless you, Milwaukee. | ||
God bless the United States of America. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
I I've had enough of that. | ||
Can we just be done with this guy now? | ||
He keeps coming back. | ||
Every single one! | ||
Every single one! | ||
unidentified
|
Growing up, we ain't had a lot of money. | |
And my mama couldn't read. | ||
But we work hard. | ||
We learn how to read. | ||
Give me a break. | ||
I can't take it anymore. | ||
Is that like the whole Republican platform? | ||
And isn't it crazy? | ||
There was one white union worker who comes up and says, yeah, illegals are taking our jobs. | ||
We need to build things. | ||
That's the only guy that made any sense. | ||
Every other, first of all, they're all black guys. | ||
And every black guy comes up and just talks about, you know, my mom, my mama was poor. | ||
unidentified
|
We need opportunity. | |
We ain't got no opportunities, man. | ||
We need some programs to get some opportunities. | ||
Like, seriously? | ||
What about immigration? | ||
I was gonna say that before Byron Donalds came up. | ||
But no one is talking about immigration! | ||
Why is nobody talking about immigration? | ||
Immigration is obviously a major, major factor in why our country is not wealthy anymore. | ||
Because it's a glut of labor. | ||
Okay? | ||
Labor is a commodity. | ||
Labor is a market. | ||
Just like there's a market for dollars. | ||
Just like there's a market for milk. | ||
Labor is a market. | ||
If there's more of it, the price goes down. | ||
The price of labor is wages. | ||
I know this is like common sense, but some people need to hear it. | ||
Firms pay for labor, just like we pay for goods. | ||
Firms want more labor, because the more labor there is in the country, the cheaper it is. | ||
And cheap labor means low wages. | ||
So people say, well, there's no jobs. | ||
There's no jobs for low-skilled people. | ||
There's no jobs for seasonal jobs for high school students. | ||
There's no low-skill, high-paying jobs for high school graduates. | ||
There's no jobs even for college graduates. | ||
College graduates are underemployed. | ||
That has everything to do with immigration. | ||
Because the jobs, the seasonal jobs that high school students would have, or that people might have for part-time work, are being taken by illegals. | ||
And illegals can live off of the low wages because one, they're used to a much lower standard of living, and two, because the difference is made up by government subsidies. | ||
Subsidized housing, subsidized healthcare, subsidized education, and so on. | ||
So while the middle class has to pay for housing and doesn't have food stamps and so on, and they pay taxes, illegals can come here. | ||
They're used to a very low standard of living. | ||
They have a million people in the household, and it's all subsidized. | ||
That's one reason why wages are low, because there's downward pressure on wages from endless immigration of every category. | ||
Legal, illegal, high-skilled, low-skilled, work visas, people overstaying their work visas. | ||
It's another reason, by the way, why education is so expensive, because foreign students who have money pay more than out-of-state students at major universities. | ||
So you go to a major university, in-state tuition is low, out-of-state tuition is high, foreign students pay the most. | ||
So colleges are incentivized to bring in as many foreign students as they can. | ||
Why do they want American students? | ||
American students don't even pay as much even if they're from outside of the states. | ||
That's one of the reasons, by the way, why they're talking about stapling green cards to diplomas. | ||
It's all sponsored by rich people in India and China. | ||
So, you're talking about Make America Wealthy Again. | ||
And the two pillars of Make America Wealthy Again from 2016 were trade and immigration. | ||
Stop the people coming here. | ||
Stop the goods from coming here. | ||
Stop the cars from coming here. | ||
Stop the foreign students from coming here. | ||
Stop the illegals from coming here. | ||
Now it's all about taxes. | ||
Now it's all about inflation. | ||
Now it's all about school choice. | ||
And by the way, American public schools are good. | ||
The American education system is good. | ||
Just like everything else, it's racial. | ||
If you exclude black students, From our education metrics, our education system is better than any European country. | ||
Our students perform better in science, math, and English than any country in Europe, if you exclude the black students. | ||
It's just that black people who have a standard deviation IQ lower than white people, you look at these schools like in Maryland, like in Baltimore, and none of them can read. | ||
That's got nothing to do with the education system. | ||
And it's got nothing to do with school choice, and it's got nothing to do with the system. | ||
It's the fact that they don't have dads. | ||
It's the fact that they're drinking Kool-Aid. | ||
It's the fact that their lunch is Coca-Cola and a bag of Cheetos. | ||
And they're lower IQ to begin with. | ||
I know nobody wants to admit that, but it's just true. | ||
So anyway. | ||

I'm David Sachs, a legal immigrant who worked hard to achieve the American dream. | ||
Now... | ||
Thank you. | ||
Now I'm concerned those same opportunities won't be there for future generations. | ||
As I look out at this convention, I see a party that is strong and unified behind President Donald J. Trump and his pick for Vice President, Senator J.D. | ||
Vance. | ||
More on that in a moment. | ||
Thank you, David Sachs, for letting me on rumble. David Sachs, for letting me on rumble. | ||
Abroad. | ||
will install as their nominee. | ||
But we know what their agenda will be. | ||
Four more years of chaos and failure, both at home and abroad. | ||
Abroad, like in Eretz Yisrael. | ||
Hamas' invasion on October 7th. | ||
Democrat rule has turned the streets of our beautiful city into a cesspool of crime, homeless encampments, and open drug use. | ||
Democrats, led by Border Czar Kamala Harris, have allowed millions of illegal migrants to invade our country. | ||
They passed Homeland Security, not with stopping the illegal aliens, but with busing them all over our country. | ||
Democrats have recklessly spent trillions of dollars of wasteful and unnecessary government programs, setting off the worst inflation since Jimmy Carter. | ||
But worst of all, the Biden-Harris administration has taken a world that was at peace under President Trump and they lit it on fire. | ||
They have abandoned Israel. | ||
They're anti-Semitic and they're the most anti-Israel administration. | ||
unidentified
|
First, President Biden botched the Afghanistan withdrawal. | |
It's coming. | ||
Are you ready? | ||
Are you ready? | ||
That's true, by the way. | ||
unidentified
|
That's based. | |
Are you ready? | ||

|
Then he provoked, yes, provoked, the Russians to invade Ukraine with talk of NATO expansion. | |
That's true, by the way. | ||
That's based. | ||
unidentified
|
Afterward, he rejected every opportunity for peace in Ukraine, including a deal to end the war just two months after it broke out. | |
Now the war is deep into its third year with no end in sight. | ||
How? | ||
Hundreds of thousands of people are dead. | ||
Hundreds of billions of our taxpayer dollars have gone up in smoke. | ||
President Biden sold us this new forever war by promising it would weaken Russia and strengthen America. | ||
Well, how does that look today? | ||
Russia's military is bigger than before, while our own stockpiles are dangerously depleted. | ||
Every day, there are new calls for escalation, and the world looks on in horror as Joe Biden's demented policy takes us to the brink of World War III. | ||
In the Middle East, America is now losing a war with the Houthis. | ||
And the administration's policy towards Gaza has been so incoherent that the only thing that pro-Israel and pro-Palestine protesters agree on is the chant F. Joe Biden. | ||
Rather than bolstering confidence in American leadership, as he promised, President Biden has become the symbol of an America in decline. | ||
This may be our present, but it does not have to be our future. | ||
Okay. | ||
Thank you. | ||
We can replace the Biden-Harris cabal with a president who is strong and smart, rather than sleepy and senile. | ||
That wasn't bad. | ||
I mean, all things considered, that wasn't so bad. | ||
unidentified
|
Or, in her case, clueless and embarrassing. | |
A president who understands that you build the most powerful military in the world to keep America safe, not to play the world's policeman. | ||
A president who is willing to talk to adversaries as well as friends because that is the only way to make peace. | ||
A president who will stand up to the warmongers instead of empowering them. | ||
My fellow Americans, we need a leader who commands respect and demands reciprocity from other nations. | ||
We need strength and savviness in the White House Situation Room, even if the crisis hits after Biden's bedtime. | ||
We need a president who can be president and lead, not a puppet controlled by his or her staff. | ||
We need order in our cities, order at our border, and order restored to a world on fire. | ||
My friends, we need President Donald J. Trump back in the White House. | ||
Thank you! | ||
That wasn't so bad. | ||

I was born in Peru and my family migrated legally to the United States when I was nine years old. | |
Okay. | ||
Like millions of legal immigrants, my family didn't begin our pursuit of the American dream by breaking the law. | ||
We respected America and we wanted to earn our citizenship. | ||
Are you fucking kidding me? | ||
When we arrived in the Bronx, we lived on the sixth floor of a graffiti-painted building. | ||
Both my parents worked two jobs. | ||

He said that we're Hispanics, we vote Democrat. | ||
But the more I learned, the more I saw that the Democratic Party didn't represent my values. | ||

I've had the honor of meeting thousands of moms. | ||
Since Biden took office, I've heard one message from mothers from all backgrounds. | ||
The cost of living is making it harder to meet basic needs. | ||
Moms are reaching down the bottom shelf to just save 35 cents! | ||
Grandmothers, who should be enjoying their golden years, are working again to barely make ends meet! | ||
Abuelita, no! | ||

Ladies and gentlemen, Charlie Kirk. | |
All right, let's go! | ||
Hairline's brutal, man. | ||

Let's see, though. | ||
He might be the most based speech, which is ironic. | ||
unidentified
|
Good evening, I'm Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action, together the largest conservative grassroots organizations in the country. | |
Thanks to our work, I talk to a lot of young people on campuses, at our events, on my radio show, podcast, and social media. | ||
Said differently, I visit college campuses so you don't have to. | ||
I hear a lot from young people about their hopes, their dreams, and their fears. | ||
You see, young people are idealists. | ||
They respond to vision. | ||
For the past four years, they've seen the vision of the Biden-Harris regime. | ||
That vision is, you'll own nothing and be happy. | ||
The Democrats say instead of owning a home, you'll rent a 400 square foot studio apartment. | ||
Instead of owning a car, you'll rent a scooter using some app. | ||
Their vision is this. | ||
Limit your dreams. | ||
Give up. | ||
Aim lower. | ||
Be content with less. | ||
If you're a 20-something in America, life has been really tough. | ||
You've watched home prices rise 47% since 2020. | ||
47%! | ||
Home ownership is now out of reach unless you make over $106,000 a year. | ||
Since I last spoke at the Republican convention four years ago, I've become a husband and father. | ||
In fact, we have two under two. | ||
I think I get extra points for that. | ||
For millions of people my age, that is a dream that feels farther away than ever under the Biden-Harris administration. | ||
According to current projections, one-third of today's young Americans will never get married. | ||
The average American is having fewer children than ever before. | ||
Why? | ||
It's because, for far too many, they simply can't afford them. | ||
I don't think that's true. | ||
The basic things our parents enjoyed are increasingly out of reach for Gen Z and millennials. | ||
You see, the American dream has become a luxury item for the wealthy elite. | ||
Happy countries have children. | ||
Broken countries have addiction, depression, and suffering. | ||
Okay. | ||
Democrats have given hundreds of billions of dollars to illegals and foreign nations, while Gen Z has to pinch pennies just so that they can never own a home, never marry, and work until they die, childless. | ||
Under Biden, our young people own nothing, and they are miserable. | ||
Donald Trump refuses to accept this fake, pathetic, mutilated version of the American dream. | ||
When he was president, young people were richer than ever before, and he will do it again. | ||
Thank you. | ||
Donald Trump is on a rescue mission to revive your birthright, one your grandparents and those before them gave everything to hand down to you. | ||
And listen carefully, everybody. | ||
This is why young men are the most conservative that they have been in 50 years. | ||
Hello? | ||
Is that Patrick Casey? | ||
No way. | ||
To all the Gen Zers watching this convention on TikTok right now, I have a message just for you. | ||
You don't have to stay poor. | ||
You don't have to accept being worse off than your parents. | ||
You don't have to feel aimless and unhappy. | ||
You don't have to support leaders who lied to you and took advantage of you for your votes. | ||
America's future is a series of choices Our current state of slow-motion national decline is a choice. | ||
This November, we're going to choose success. | ||
We're going to choose to put the future of Americans first. | ||
We are going to choose to no longer be spectators this election. | ||
We together are going to do the work to save America. | ||
We are going to choose to work harder than ever before, to chase ballots, to vote early, to register new voters. | ||
And all of us together, working harder than ever, we will fire the Biden-Harris regime and put Donald Trump back in the White House where he belongs. | ||
God bless you guys. | ||
Thank you so much. | ||
He's really improved as a speaker, I have to say. | ||
Very well executed. | ||
unidentified
|
Alright. | |
That's not new. | ||
the White House from crooked Joe Biden, the worst president of our country. | ||
I believe that we're going to have four of the great. | ||
That's not new. | ||
Yeah, that was actually not a bad speech. | ||
You know, he's really improved. | ||
I have to say, because if you go back and watch his speeches, even from like a year ago, it sounds like he's imitating Trump. | ||
He's imitating Tucker. | ||
And he's obviously borrowing extensively from Tucker with the rhetoric. | ||
But that delivery was very solid. | ||
The message was better than everybody else's. | ||
I mean, for the most part, other than the union guy, I think. | ||
So it was an adequate speech. | ||
I mean, I feel like here's the thing. | ||
I think that when people talk about the birth rates and the unhappiness and everything, they're leaving out that it's actually feminism. | ||
You know, to say like, the fertility rate is low and there's no home ownership, I don't actually feel like those are connected. | ||
I think that the fertility rate is almost all due to sociological factors because of modernity. | ||
It's not because of economics, because poor countries have kids. | ||
When he says that it's out of reach, then why is it that the poorest groups have the most kids? | ||
And the poorest countries have the most kids. | ||
So it's not a question of means. | ||
He's really mixing the message there and saying, well, we have this low birth rate because people are unhappy, people are unhappy because they're poor. | ||
And this is where, and so that's where it's like, you know, it sounds correct, but directionally it's off. | ||
Because this is really a class argument. | ||
It's saying that it's a class struggle, and it's really not. | ||
unidentified
|
But more on that later, I guess. | |
So, you know, it sounds good, and like, there's two things that are true. | ||
Fertility rate's bad, homeownership is low, but It's not altogether right. | ||

- Mr. Blackburn from the great state of Tennessee. | |
- Okay. - And yes, last week I did have the honor of chairing the Republican Platform Committee. | ||
We produced a different kind of platform. | ||
One that is dedicated to the forgotten men and women of America. | ||
People like Brad Bordeaux, a small businessman from White Bluff, Tennessee. | ||
People like... Brad leaves Bordeaux Metals. | ||
So-and-so. | ||
unidentified
|
So by the end of the Obama-Biden administration, massive government spending and overregulation almost put him out of business. | |
But things changed when we elected Donald Trump. | ||
Thanks to President Trump's tax and regulation cuts, Brad and those that worked for him prospered. | ||
He hired new workers, expanded the business. | ||
Life was good and getting better. | ||
But Bidenomics was a four-letter word for Bordeaux Metals. | ||
So low IQ. | ||
Green New Deal? | ||
More like Green New Scam! | ||
More like Green New Shit! | ||
high taxes and green new scam are destroying small businesses biden and harris so low iq green new deal more like green new scam more like green new shit the day like really that's not even clever It's not even good wordplay. | ||
Deal? | ||
More like scam. | ||
It'd be one thing if they said, like, Green New Steel. | ||
At least it, like, rhymes. | ||
unidentified
|
We will make America energy dominant. | |
You know? | ||
And let me hear you now. | ||
You know who will make that happen? | ||
Donald Trump. | ||
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris also think that small business owners are wealthy, and they should pay their fair share. | ||
We all know that's left-wing code for you gotta pay more taxes. | ||
Well, in Tennessee, I led the fight against a proposed state income tax. | ||
We killed that thing. | ||
We are income tax-free in Tennessee, so when Donald Trump was president, I helped him spread economic prosperity with the largest tax cut in American history. | ||
Now, President Trump will make those tax cuts permanent. | ||
The Paul Ryan tax cut. | ||
It's a Paul Ryan tax cut. | ||
It's a corporate tax cut. | ||
to an era of prosperity. | ||
Donald Trump. | ||
Now Joe and Kamala, bless their hearts, Bless your heart. | ||
They couldn't help themselves. | ||
They hired 85,000 new IRS agents to harass hardworking Americans. | ||
IRS penalties have surged 300 percent. | ||
And they're not on big corporations. | ||
They're on gig workers, freelancers, small business owners, and the self-employed. | ||
Let me ask you a question. | ||
Who is going to look at those 85,000 IRS agents and say, you're fired, Donald Trump? | ||
Really? | ||
- Thank you. - Thank you. | ||
Under Biden and Harris, people are also crushed by more regulations than at any time since Jimmy Carter. | ||
Their regulations aren't just burdensome. | ||
Often, they include racist DEI requirements. | ||
Many small businesses are going bankrupt. | ||
Some are throwing up their hands in disgust. | ||
Vance, Mike Johnson. | ||
Who's the girl? | ||
To cut regulations that are killing jobs and costing you thousands of dollars. | ||
Now, you know who will slash that red trach and return this country to economic greatness? | ||
Donald Trump. | ||
The harmful Biden-Harris policies are why so many small business owners, like Shana Gray. | ||
She is a black female owner of Gray Jet Cafe right here in Milwaukee. | ||
She She voted for Biden in 2020 and in 24 she is voting for President Donald Trump. | ||
Our platform is a promise to people like Shana, people like Brad, and President Trump will keep his promises just like he did the first time. | ||
So I've got one more question for you. | ||
Who should be the next president of the United States? | ||
Donald Trump! | ||
God bless you, protect you, and God bless and protect the United States. | ||
Thank you. | ||
Right. | ||
Looks like we're coming up to the main event. | ||
I see JD Vance, who of course is selected to be the VP nominee. | ||
unidentified
|
There he is with David Sachs. | |
So on David Sachs, David Sachs is Jewish from South Africa, and he's up with Peter Thiel. | ||
Oh, there's Tucker Carlson, Byron Donalds. | ||
Can I get a picture with you? | ||
unidentified
|
Ah, big fan, big fan. | |
Anyway. | ||
So coming up, we got Amber Rose. | ||
Teamsters Union. | ||
There they are. | ||
So David Sachs, JD Vance. | ||
David Sachs worked with Peter Thiel on Founders Fund, Palantir. | ||
Thiel was part of the PayPal Mafia. | ||
He's German, but South African roots, just like Elon Musk, who's from South Africa. | ||
Palantir is a contractor for the CIA, NSA, Pentagon, winning $100 million contracts, $500 million, $800 million contracts with CIA, NSA, Pentagon. | ||
J.D. | ||
Vance is the protege of Peter Thiel. | ||
So Peter Thiel founds Palantir. | ||
Peter Thiel founds Founders Fund and a whole suite of tech companies that are connected to the national security apparatus. | ||
Peter Thiel is a billionaire He was the single biggest individual donor in the 2022 midterms. | ||
He gave $30 million. | ||
Peter Thiel put up $10 million for J.D. | ||
Vance's Super PAC. | ||
Okay, that made J.D. | ||
Vance a contender for the Republican primary in the Ohio Senate race. | ||
Donald Trump's endorsement elevated J.D. | ||
Vance and made him a senator. | ||
Now J.D. | ||
Vance, protege of Peter Thiel, is tight with David Sachs, business partner of Peter Thiel. | ||
Remember, though, that David Sachs initially backed DeSantis. | ||
Back in 2022 in the spring, or I'm sorry, 2023 in May, David Sachs hosted the announcement of Ron DeSantis for president with Elon Musk on Twitter Spaces. | ||
David Sachs, this Jewish donor right here, who's tight with JD Vance, actually hosted a fundraiser in San Francisco So these guys are all connected. | ||
David Sachs couldn't get Ron DeSantis to be the nominee, so David Sachs is now behind Donald Trump. | ||
David Sachs hosted a fundraiser for Donald Trump in Silicon Valley with Jacob Helberg, with Keith Raboi, his husband. | ||
With those members of the All In podcast, where Donald Trump then went and said that he's in favor of stapling green cards to diplomas. | ||
David Sachs and J.D. | ||
Vance are both investors in Rumble. | ||
There he is, the man! | ||
Wait, hang on. | ||
There he is. | ||
I'm surprised that he would come out with the bandaged ear. | ||
That's very unlike him. | ||
So there he is, President Trump, bandaged right ear, alive, after being shot on Saturday. | ||
Literally shot with an AR-15. | ||
I'm surprised, though, that he would come out with a bandaged ear. | ||
That's very unlike Trump, you know, because Donald Trump is very conscious of optics. | ||
Very conscious... Who's that? | ||
Is that Laura Trump, or...? | ||
That's one. | ||
Tiffany Trump, I think that is. | ||
Anyway, Donald Trump is very optics conscious. | ||
And I believe he hates any display of weakness, so I'm actually very surprised that he would show his face with the bandage on. | ||
That's why I said earlier I would think maybe he'd show up after he had it surgically repaired or a prosthetic attached or something. | ||
I know that sounds maybe far-fetched, but Trump is very optics conscious. | ||
Of course, that's why he raised the fist, but that's also why I believe that he would try to go out With an intact ear without a bandage because a bandage kind of indicates he's wounded. | ||
I know it sounds counterintuitive. | ||
He did just get shot, but it does indicate that he's wounded, that he's weak. | ||
So I would think that he would not want to be photographed at all with the bandage. | ||
I feel like I'm not alone in that. | ||
Maybe many Trump supporters would believe the same thing. | ||
On the one hand, you know that he wanted to make a public appearance as quickly as possible because that demonstrates strength. | ||
He wanted to show that he's undeterred, he's unafraid, he's strong. | ||
And that's why people said he wanted to fly to Denver right after he got shot and show up to the UFC. | ||
I'm sure the Secret Service said that's not going to happen. | ||
But that's why he's here making an appearance in Milwaukee, and we'll see if he speaks. | ||

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Lee Greenwood. | |

Hello, RNC! | |
Oh, he's gonna sing? | ||
unidentified
|
Is there any doubt who's gonna be the next president of the United States? | |
Ah, true. | ||
Prayer works! | ||
This nation, based on faith, prayer works. | ||
Because he was sure, as Donald Trump turned his head just slightly, that the bullet missed him just enough to save his life to be the next president of the United States. | ||
We have believed for so long... | ||
That God will make some changes in this country. | ||
And he's about to make a change in the current administration and send them home. | ||
Thank you everybody for being here tonight. | ||
Tonight we make the decision on what's right for America. | ||
More prosperity. | ||
Less gas prices. | ||
Less food prices. | ||
Help for our veterans. | ||
And God bless our military wherever they are in this United States. | ||
There he is! | ||
Look at him! | ||
See, I told you he'd do an appearance. | ||
Very Trump-esque, and I'm sure that was the compromise. | ||
He has to come out with the bandage, but it was more important to make a public appearance. | ||
unidentified
|
The GOAT! | |
There he is, King Trump. | ||
Unmanned. - Can I do that again? | ||
Undeterred. | ||
Unafraid. | ||

Is he gonna start? | ||

This is your party, by the way. | |
Good evening, I'm Mark Laws and I live in western Michigan. | ||
I'm not a senator or a governor or some other politician, but I'm just a regular guy. | ||
But to my kids and my grandkids who call me Peepa, I'm the guy. | ||
I live on a fixed income, so I'm not one of the people that watch their portfolios. | ||
No, in the big boy Joe economy, I just worry about getting through the day. | ||
But I'm fortunate because I don't have a mortgage. | ||
This is very strange. | ||
unidentified
|
I'm really not sure how I'd make it. | |
The big boy, Joe, inflation has turned our dollars into nickels. | ||
And in Michigan, we got 180,000 plus people that are in tax lien foreclosure right now. | ||
So even though I don't have a mortgage... I don't blame him for being nervous. | ||
I mean, imagine having to follow that. | ||
unidentified
|
And if I don't, they take it away. | |
When I'm asked how I'm doing, I answer honestly, I say, I'm doing okay. | ||
But don't you remember under President Trump, we didn't have to settle for just okay. | ||
we were doing great. | ||
I wanted to make some improvements to my home, but with inflation and the price of materials, that's not possible. | ||
So, I don't want to go into debt, so I just put it off. | ||
I'd also like to spoil my grandkids with some great Peapaw unique gifts for their birthdays. | ||
But with the price of gas and groceries, I don't do that. | ||
Peapaw gifts? | ||
unidentified
|
Why? | |
I settle for cake and ice cream. | ||
His first appearance is being shot in the face. | ||
I just keep putting things off hoping that I'll be able to afford them again someday. | ||
With his vice president. | ||
unidentified
|
It's got me thinking, I've been hoping for better days, but life is happening right now and we can't waste any more time on the big boy Joe terrible economic policy. | |
Why does he keep saying that? | ||
We need to bring Donald Trump back right now. | ||
Look at Trump. | ||
unidentified
|
Trump's pissed. | |
You can tell he's seething. | ||
unidentified
|
He's seething. | |
He knows it's not working. | ||
unidentified
|
We need to know and share the 20 promises that Donald Trump has made. | |
You can read it on his face. | ||
We need to get involved with the Trump 47. | ||
And remember, ballots win elections, so that's the best way to do it. | ||
I know a lot of folks just kind of tune the politics out, but we really can't afford to anymore. | ||
Oh, brother. | ||
Because we're not living in the same country that we grew up in. | ||
Cutesy time is over. | ||
This is so weird, dude. | ||
Well, hey, this is what you wanted, man. | ||
Mr. Trump, Donald Trump, to be number 47 again. | ||
Well, hey, this is what you wanted, man. | ||
unidentified
|
Mr. Trump, Donald Trump, to be number 47 again. | |
Thank you, and God bless America. | ||
Standing ovation for Peepaw. | ||

|
Some random on a fixed income. | |
Bidenomics doesn't just have seniors worried. | ||
It has them scared to death. | ||
What? | ||
Biden's inflation has retirees at risk. | ||
This is crazy. | ||
This is crazy. | ||
See, this is what I'm talking about. | ||
I really hope they can turn this around. | ||
I hope there's something awesome by the end of this. | ||
That was the lamest thing I've ever seen. | ||
I guess I can kind of get where they're coming from. | ||
That's the song he plays at every rally. | ||
They have the live performance. | ||
But so the idea was he was going to walk out to the song after being shot in the face when everybody wants to see and hear from him. | ||
He's going to stand there awkwardly and then just sit down and watch a random guy and let the program resume. | ||
Whose idea was this? | ||
I don't know how they thought that would work or how they thought that was going to go, but it's obvious that after Trump gets shot, everybody wants to hear from him. | ||
So why would he walk out just to sit there and of all speeches, listen to some guy? | ||
Not even like his vice president or... | ||
But just some guy? | ||
I feel bad for the guy! | ||
Imagine having to follow that! | ||
And now who's this? | ||
unidentified
|
Hello, Michigan. | |
Hello, my fellow patriots. | ||
Another guy. | ||
unidentified
|
I'm the owner of a home remodeling business that my father Steve started in 1972. | |
During the Trump boom, we were thriving. | ||
Under Biden, we are surviving. | ||
I know other business owners like many of you in this room can relate. | ||
With the financial strain caused by the Biden-Harris economy, many clients are tightening their belts, closing their wallets, and cutting back on their home remodeling projects. | ||
To keep work coming in, I've had to lower my margins. | ||
And I mean lower them. | ||
I'm now barely making payroll, and our family just has enough to live on. | ||
We can't build up any savings, and we can't move forward. | ||
As parents, we want to provide for our children. | ||
But more and more parents like myself have to look their little girl or their little boy in the eye when they're asked for something and say... But Tucker's on his phone. | ||
Tucker's litera... And by the way, I don't even have a phone, Tucker says. | ||
And bro's on his phone. | ||
I don't even have a phone. | ||
unidentified
|
I don't even watch TV. | |
Okay, bro. | ||
is a businessman, not a crooked career politician. | ||
President Trump understands what business owners need to succeed because he is a business owner himself and has succeeded. | ||
He knew we could create millions of great jobs if given the chance, and we did. | ||
The Trump's tax cuts and regulation cuts empowered entrepreneurs like you and me and enabled us to expand our businesses. | ||
We need him back in the White House. | ||
Awesome. | ||
Yeah, that's great. | ||
As a representative of Michigan at this convention, I want to give a special Michigander thank you to President Trump for being our champion Apparently J.D. | ||
Vance was on Hannity saying we need to hit Iran. | ||
Awesome. | ||
It just keeps getting better. | ||
unidentified
|
I'm checking Twitter right now. | |
to step up and get involved in the fight to save america with his leadership and our help we will make america affordable again wealthy again and great again | ||
i feel bad for these guys because they're like a regular guy does not have the experience to speak in front of 50,000 people and the president who just got shot on a national stage to protect president trump and his family. | ||
Why would you do that to these people? | ||
Put these people on the stage in the afternoon, not in prime time when everyone's watching with the president. | ||
Like, I mean, these speeches are not good. | ||
They're not working. | ||
They don't meet the gravity of the moment. | ||
But it's not even their fault. | ||
You're almost putting them in a bad position. | ||
You know, put on a politician who has experience with public speeches. | ||
unidentified
|
Oops. | |
Shit. | ||
Are you kidding me? | ||
unidentified
|
But most importantly, I'm a mother. | |
My whole world revolves around providing for my children, keeping them safe, and giving them an opportunity for a better life. | ||
That's something that unites all American parents. | ||
Whether we're Republicans, Democrats, conservatives, or liberals, we all want a better country for our children. | ||
Oh, but if I shit on this, I'm disloyal, right? | ||
If I attack this, I'm like, I hate Trump, right? | ||
That's crazy. | ||
unidentified
|
What a joke. | |
What does it say on her face? | ||
- That's crazy. | ||
- That the best chance we have-- - What a joke. - To give our babies a better life is to elect Donald Trump president of the United States. | ||
- What does it say on her face? | ||
Does it say bitch? - Now you may be wondering why I'm up here telling you this. | ||
I'm no politician and I don't want to be. | ||
But I do care about the truth. | ||
And the truth is that the media has lied to us about Donald Trump. | ||
I think it does. | ||
Oh no, it says Bash and Slash. | ||
unidentified
|
I know this because for a long time I believed those lies. | |
So I'm here to set the record straight. | ||
The first person I knew who supported Donald Trump was my father. | ||
I was shocked. | ||
My entire family is racially diverse. | ||
Oh my gosh. | ||
And I believed the left-wing propaganda that Donald Trump was a racist. | ||
Oh my gosh. | ||
unidentified
|
My father said, no he's not Amber, what are you talking about? | |
And when I insisted, he said prove it. | ||
So to prove my father wrong, I did my research and looked into all things Donald Trump. | ||
People have to do their research. | ||
I watched all the rallies, and I started meeting so many of you, his red hat-wearing supporters. | ||
I realized Donald Trump and his supporters don't care if you're black, white, gay, or straight. | ||
It's all love. | ||
Awesome. | ||
Awesome! | ||
And that's when it hit me. | ||
These are my people. | ||
This is where I belong. | ||
God, no! | ||
No! | ||
It's too perfect! | ||
unidentified
|
It's too perfect! | |
I'm vindicated! | ||
unidentified
|
I'm vindicated! | |
I'm being misunderstood of getting attacked by the left and I put the red hat on too. | ||
Unbelievable. | ||
This is where I belong, said the slut. | ||
Said the diverse pro-gay slut. | ||
unidentified
|
Love you too. | |
Awesome. | ||
I never felt more free and more love for my country than I do now. | ||
I want to thank my father who's in the audience tonight for opening my eyes. | ||
He served over 20 years in the U.S. | ||
military. | ||
Thank you for your service, Dad. | ||
I love you, Dad. | ||
I love you. | ||
I love you so much. | ||
Thank you. | ||
When I met the President and Melania for the first time, he was kind and generous and funny as hell. | ||
You deserve this. | ||
unidentified
|
The First Lady was gracious and smart with a smile that will brighten up any room. | |
If you're watching this tonight, you know our country is in trouble. | ||
You didn't believe me, and now you deserve this. | ||

When you go to the store and buy food for your family, you're shocked. | |
I warned you, but you didn't listen. | ||
unidentified

When you fill up your gas tank, you're pissed. | |
You didn't listen! | ||
unidentified
|
I know I am. | |
And now this is what you deserve. | ||
This is what you get. | ||
unidentified
|
And when you turn on the news, you are just exhausted. | |
Inflation is out of control. | ||
And you know in your heart it was not like this under Donald Trump. | ||
My message to you tonight comes from a humble place. | ||
The left told me to hate Trump, and even worse, to hate the other side, the people who support him. | ||
When you cut through the lies, you realize the truth. | ||
American families were better when Donald Trump was president. | ||
We were safer, wealthier and stronger. | ||
A vote for Donald Trump is a vote to put money back in our pockets and good food on our kids' plates. | ||
Yes. | ||
Daquan, eat your juice. | ||
Come get your juice, Daquan. | ||
unidentified
|
It's a vote to make America great again. | |
Thank you so much. | ||
I got my Trump money. | ||
That's a standing ovation for the Slut Walk. | ||

That's crazy. | |
That's crazy. | ||
But not surprising. | ||

Now what? | |
16 years. | ||
16 years ago, I left Nicaragua for a better life in a fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada. | ||
Woo! | ||
America welcomed me, and I embraced the values of hard work, learning the language, and respecting the laws. | ||
It's the American thing to do. | ||
In 2022, my three boys and I faced a devastating house fire. | ||
We lost everything. | ||
And a starting over in Joe Biden's economy is almost impossible. | ||
The Biden economy is driving prices through the roof. | ||
Gas, groceries, everything. | ||
unidentified
|
As a life insurance worker, I see the struggle of people trying to pay for their future while barely managing their basic needs. | |
That's your GOP. | ||
This is your RNC. | ||

I was right. | |
I was right. | ||

You all laughed at me. | |
You all laughed at me. | ||
One of my sons works three jobs, and the other holds down two. | ||
That makes Steve's judge for three people just to survive in Biden's economy. | ||
Our open borders are making this problem worse. | ||
It's upsetting. | ||
It's upsetting to see millions of dollars being sent to help immigrants who came here illegally while hard-working families who did it the right way are left struggling. | ||
Awesome. | ||
Estrago. | ||
A million of dollars. | ||
The fact is that illegal immigration hurts legal immigrants the most. | ||
The government system is backwards and broken. | ||

In 2020, I made a mistake. | |
A mistake that is hard to admit, especially in this room. | ||
Uh-oh. | ||
Let me guess. | ||
unidentified

Let me take a wild guess. | |
In 2020, I voted for Joe Biden. | ||
And now you're here. | ||
I'm sorry. | ||
Just like J.D. Vance in 16. | ||

She has made me regret it. | |
This November, my vote won't be taken for granted. | ||
It's all right. | ||

What's up? | ||
First, I want to thank the hard-working Teamsters and union members here in Milwaukee who play vital roles in the building and operations of this convention. | ||
I do love the Teamsters. | ||
I love the unions. | ||
unidentified
|
I want to thank President Donald Trump for opening the RNC's doors to the Chiefs' Union and inviting me to speak before you tonight. | |
I travel all across this country and meet with my members every week. | ||
You know what I see? | ||
An American worker being taken for granted. | ||
Workers being sold out to big banks, big tech, corporates and the elite. | ||
And I'm not the only one who sees this. | ||
Everyday families see it. | ||
The American people aren't stupid. | ||
They know the system is broken. | ||
We all know how Washington is run. | ||
Working people have no chance of winning this fight. | ||
That's why I'm here today. | ||
Because I refuse to keep doing the same things my predecessors did. | ||
Love her. | ||
She's cute. | ||
She's adorable. | ||
Today, the Chiefs are here to say we are not beholden to anyone or any party. | ||
We will create an agenda and work with a bipartisan coalition, ready to accomplish something real for the American worker. | ||
And And I don't care about getting criticized. | ||
It's an honor to be the first teamster in our 121-year history to address the Republican National Convention. | ||
Several months ago, I asked the RNC and the DNC for the opportunity to speak. | ||
To be frank, when President Trump invited me to speak at this convention, there was political unrest. | ||
On the left and on the right. | ||
Hard to believe. | ||
Anti-union groups demanded the President rescind his invitation. | ||
The left called me a traitor. | ||
And this is precisely why it's so important for me to be here today. | ||
Think about this. | ||
Think about this. | ||
The teachers are doing something correct if the extremes in both parties think I shouldn't be on this stage. | ||
The extremists in both parties. | ||
unidentified
|
True. | |
President Trump had the backbone to open the doors to this Republican convention, and that's unprecedented. | ||
No other nominee in the race would have invited the Teeps into this arena. | ||
Now, you can have whatever opinion you want, but one thing is clear. | ||
President Trump is a candidate who is not afraid of hearing from new, loud, and often critical voices. | ||
And I think we all can agree, whether people like him or they don't like him, in light of what happened to him on Saturday, he has proven to be one tough S.O.B. | ||
Look at Vance, he's such a fucking baby. | ||
Like, have some dignity. | ||
Where's the decorum? | ||
You're the vice president. | ||

|
Now, when I won... when I won... | |
The presidency of the Teamsters in a national election two and a half years ago, we started reaching across the aisle. | ||
In the past, the Teamsters have endorsed GOP candidates including Nixon, Reagan, and George H.W. | ||
Bush. | ||
But over the last 40 years, the Republican Party has really pursued strong relationships with organized labor. | ||
There are some in the party who stand in active opposition to labor unions. | ||
This, too, must change. | ||
And I want to be clear. | ||
At the end of the day, the teamsters are not interested if you have a D, R, or an I next to your name. | ||
We want to know one thing. | ||
What are you doing to help American workers? | ||
Unions suck. | ||
unidentified
|
As a negotiator, I know that no window or door should ever be permanently shut. | |
In my administration, the Chiefs has reached out to eight Republican senators who stood up for railroad chiefs over our fight for paid sick leave. | ||
Josh Hawley was one of them. | ||
We started talking. | ||
Senator Hawley changed his position on national right to work. | ||
Then we started walking. | ||
Senator Hawley walked a Teamsters picket line in St. | ||
Louis and a UAW picket line in Wentzville, Missouri. | ||
More than that, I want to recognize Senator Hawley for his direct, relentless, and pointed questioning of corporate talking heads, lawyers, CEOs, and apologists. | ||
He has shown he is not willing to accept their pillaging of working people's pocketbooks. | ||
I know from a career in negotiating that you get nowhere by slamming your fist on the table. | ||
The first step is to listen. | ||
The Teamsters and the GOP may not agree on many issues, but a growing group has shown the courage to sit down and consider points of view that aren't funded by big money think tanks. | ||
Senators like J.D. | ||
Vance, Roger Marshall, Representatives Nicole Malliotakis, Mike Lawler, and Brian Fitzpatrick are among elected officials who truly care about working people. | ||
And this group is expanding and is putting fear into those who have monopolized our very broken system in America today. | ||
There are far too many people on both sides of the aisle still caught up in knee-jerk reactions to unions, who subscribe to the same tired clap-trap that unions destroy American companies. | ||
Take a moment to consider United Postal Service, which is the largest private sector logistics company, and it's been unionized for more than 100 years. | ||
More than 350,000 Teamsters make it run. | ||
We work for good middle class wages, quality health care, and secure pensions. | ||
There are work rules that ensure fairness and due process for both sides. | ||
UPS is the most efficient package delivery company in the world. | ||
But let's not forget that UPS is the most efficient package delivery company in the world. | ||
UPS doesn't provide these great wages and benefits out of the kindness of its heart. | ||
UPS does it because the Teeps' fight for it, all 350,000 of us. | ||
You know, corporatists hate when working people join together to form unions. | ||
But for a century, major employers have waged a war against labor by forming corporate unions of their own. | ||
We need to call the Chamber of Commerce and the Business Roundtables what they are. | ||
They are unions for big business. | ||
And here's another fact. | ||
Against a gigantic multinational corporation, an individual worker has zero power. | ||
It's only when Americans band together in democratic unions that we win real improvements on wages, benefits, and working conditions. | ||
Companies like Amazon are bigger than most national economies. | ||
Amazon is valued over $2 trillion. | ||
That makes it the 14th largest economy in the world. | ||
What is sickening is that Amazon has abandoned any national allegiance. | ||
Amazon's sole focus is on lining its own pockets. | ||
Remember, elites have no party, elites have no nation. | ||
Their loyalty is to the balance sheet and the stock price at the expense of the American worker. | ||
Mmm, based rhetoric. | ||
In my office in Washington, D.C., I can see the United States Capitol from my window. | ||
Why does this guy have such a long speech? | ||
unidentified
|
speech. | |
This guy's not even conservative. | ||
The responsibility to average Americans takes a back seat. | ||
The objective now becomes survival. | ||
Fundraiser after fundraiser. | ||
Corporate consultants hedge every initiative. | ||
The hill crawls with lifers, bouncing from government jobs to corporate jobs and back again. | ||
I think we can all agree, D.C. | ||
is a pretty treacherous area. | ||
Most legislation is never meant to go anywhere, and it's all talk. | ||
And in America, talk isn't cheap. | ||
It's very expensive, and it comes at the cost of our own country. | ||
Working people know our system is broken. | ||
The elites are not laboring on behalf of workers. | ||
There is a political caste system that prevents citizens from accessing their representatives to hold them accountable. | ||
For a moment in time, working people in America were seen as essential. | ||
Sadly, it took a global pandemic for political and corporate elites to notice this fact. | ||
But ask yourself this question. | ||
Since the end of the pandemic, when was the last time you heard major news outlets regularly refer to workers as essential? | ||
You haven't. | ||
The men and women who provide goods and services, deliver packages, stock grocery shelves, care for patients, pick up your trash, and keep our communities safe are taken for granted. | ||
All the while, the stock market booms, housing prices hit record highs, and corporate salaries skyrocket. | ||
But the income of everyday Americans are shrinking in the face of inflation. | ||
At the gas pumps, at the grocery store, with the electrical bill, and with the car insurance. | ||
This has got to change. | ||
Never forget, American workers own this nation. | ||
This guy isn't even endorsing Trump. | ||
unidentified
|
We're not renters. | |
We are not tenants, but the corporate elite treat us like squatters, and that is a crime. | ||
We've got to fix it. | ||
Now this will shock you. | ||
This will shock you. | ||
To paraphrase Senator Mark Wayne Mullen, it's time for both sides of Congress to stand their butts up. | ||
We need trade policies that put American workers first. | ||
It needs to be easier for companies to remain in America. | ||
We need legal protections that make it safer for workers to get a contract. | ||
We must stop corporations from abandoning local communities to inflate their bottom line. | ||
We need meaningful bankruptcy reform. | ||
Today, corporate vultures buy up companies like Yellow Freight with the intent of driving them into bankruptcy and feasting on their remains. | ||
The courts leave workers begging for crumbs as third-tier creditors. | ||
Labor law must be reformed. | ||
Americans vote for a union but can never get a union contract. | ||
Companies fire workers who try to join unions and hide behind toothless laws that are meant to protect working people but are manipulated to benefit corporations. | ||
This is economic terrorism at its best. | ||
An individual cannot withstand such an assault. | ||
A fired worker cannot afford Corporate delays, and these greedy employers know it. | ||
There are no consequences for the company, only the worker. | ||
We need corporate welfare reform. | ||
Under our current system, massive companies like Amazon, Uber, Lyft, and Walmart take zero responsibilities for the workers they employ. | ||
These companies offer no real health insurance, no retirement benefits, no paid leave, relying on underfunded public assistance. | ||
And who foots the bill? | ||
The individual taxpayer. | ||
The biggest recipients of welfare in this country are corporations, and this is real corruption. | ||
We must put workers first. | ||
What could be more important to the security of our nation than a long-term investment in the American worker? | ||
In 2021, Teamsters nationwide elected me to fight for them, and that's precisely what I'm doing. | ||
Something is wrong in this country, and we need to say it out loud. | ||
I will always speak for America and the American worker, both union and non-union. | ||
I challenge each and every one of you, and especially my friends on the Democratic side, to embrace cooperation. | ||
To truly collaborate to achieve meaningful and productive change. | ||
To ensure we make this great nation, and this world, the bigger, faster, and strongest nation in the entire world. | ||
I love this country. | ||
The Chiefs love this country. | ||
Our 1.3 million members move America on the roads, in the ports, on the rail, and in the air. | ||
And at the end of the day, if the powers that be stop me from raising my voice on behalf of American workers, I will not have one single regret. | ||
I still carry my commercial driver's license. | ||
I still have my place on the union seniority list. | ||
You'll find me back in Boston driving a tractor-trailer, delivering equipment for Shaughnessy and Ahern. | ||
Because I have the protection of a union contract that gives me the freedom to speak my mind and to fight like hell. | ||
God bless the greatest nation. | ||
Thank you very much. | ||
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome back RNC Chairman Michael Watley. - That was insane. | ||

Thank you everyone. | |
These last 48 hours have been some of the most intense, yet most prayerful of our lives. | ||
The heinous attack on President Trump and his supporters made all of us pause and seek answers and comfort. | ||
I come from a family of sick immigrants. | ||
I am honored to share with you, my fellow Republicans and guests tonight, a prayer from my faith tradition, practiced by over 25 million worldwide. | ||
Oh my goodness. | ||
No way. | ||
Are you for real? | ||
A lot of thunder going on. | ||

Receive your blessings and guidance for our beloved country. | ||
Please bless our people with wisdom as they vote in the upcoming election, and please bless with humility, honesty, skill, and integrity all those who conduct the election. | ||
This is total blasphemy. | ||
Finally, we thank you for the Chardikala spirit that we have witnessed in President Trump. | ||
That is, the tireless and uplifting spirit that is sustained even in the face of violent adversity, like a founding father centuries ago. | ||
And we thank you, dear God, for protecting his life. | ||
We thank you for his examples of Nirbha, fearlessness, and Nirver, the absence of hate when faced with vitriol. | ||
These examples of extraordinary calm inspire us. | ||
Nanik nam chardikala terebane sarbatapala. | ||

Get the fuck out of here with that. | ||
Senator Vance, congratulations. | ||
President Trump, We are honored to have you here tonight. | ||
And on behalf of the entire Republican Party all across America, we are grateful for you to be our nominee for the 47th President of the United States of America. | ||
Thank you. | ||
You know, God saves you and then you do that. | ||

Totally unnecessary. | |
The chair declares that the 2024 Republican National Convention stand in recess until tomorrow at 5 p.m. | ||
All right. | ||
All right. | ||
unidentified
|
That was the last word, really? | |
There's your first day of the RNC. | ||
unidentified
|
Just a small town girl There's his click. | |
Byron Donalds, Tucker, J.D. | ||
Vance, Mike Johnson. | ||
Tucker Carlson who said he hates Trump. | ||
Trump is a demon who only destroys and couldn't wait until the day we don't have to talk about Trump. | ||
J.D. | ||
Vance who said that Trump is like Hitler and a noxious racist and didn't even vote for him. | ||
This is the click. | ||
So yeah, I think that about sums it up. | ||
Traitors. | ||
Sluts. | ||
GOP shills. | ||
Endless diversity. | ||
Blasphemy. | ||
You know, but here's the problem. | ||
What a lot of people need to realize about Trump is that Trump wants to be liked by everybody. | ||
And that is at the root of the problem. | ||
In his mind, his fantasy is that he will be beloved by liberals. | ||
And that's why he does this. | ||
He puts the unions up. | ||
He puts Amber Rose up there. | ||
He puts an immigrant who can barely speak English up there. | ||
Because in his mind, he wants to beat the racism allegation. | ||
He wants to beat the Nazi allegation. | ||
So that's why the convention needs to be as big and diverse as possible. | ||
That's why it needs to have a hundred black people. | ||
That's why it needs to have a total slut. | ||
But that's not what we should be striving for. | ||
The other side of the country is motivated by evil. | ||
And I don't mean people necessarily that want legal immigration, but people that are promoting... When Amber Rose goes up there and says gay or straight, that's evil. | ||
When they're promoting abortion, that's evil. | ||
There's no unity with evil. | ||
There's no unity with people that want and celebrate abortion, transgenderism, pedophilia, homosexuality. | ||
There's no unity with people that want crime, that seek vengeance against decent people, decent white people, with this retributive crime. | ||
Because that's what it is. | ||
When you look at Chicago, when you look at all these cities run by black mayors, that's what it is. | ||
They see the stealing and the carjacking as a form of redistributive justice. | ||
And that's why they don't want to police the cities. | ||
They think it'd be wrong to have too many black people in jail. | ||
On some level, they see it like Robin Hood when they see a car drive through a nice store on Michigan Avenue and they loot some designer clothing store. | ||
That's evil! | ||
You can't unite with that! | ||
And those people never like you, and they shouldn't if you're a righteous person. | ||
So, yeah, this convention, it just goes to show it hasn't happened, okay? | ||
Trump ran in 2016 on immigration restriction and nativism. | ||
Implicit white identity, nationalism. | ||
He ran on trade restriction, a kind of anti-corporate populist sentiment, and anti-war. | ||
And what we heard tonight was all the GOP platitudes. | ||
GOP platitudes about taxes and spending, inflation and gas prices, endless pandering to black people desperately trying to prove we're not racist. | ||
How many black men How many white men spoke? | ||
I think there were fewer white men than almost any other demographic. | ||
There was Glenn Youngkin, there was the retiree, there was the union guy who's not even a conservative. | ||
It was a lot of women. | ||
It was two Hispanic women that can't speak English, a Jewish guy, David Sachs, and about a half dozen black people talking about how poor their mothers were and how they worked hard. | ||
And so the main policies were cut taxes, school choice, deepen the Paul Ryan tax cut, energy dominance, unleash American energy. | ||
These are all canned talking points from the big energy lobby. | ||
So it goes to show that Trump changed. | ||
Trump went from an independent talking about immigration and tariffs to a Republican talking about taxes and inflation. | ||
And he went from an independent talking about white people to a Republican pandering endlessly to black people and legal immigrants. | ||
One of the only times we heard about immigration tonight was we heard a legal immigrant say that those most affected by illegal immigration are legal immigrants. | ||
Seriously? | ||
So you come here as a legal immigrant and now you're the most affected by illegal immigration? | ||
What about the native people that have been here for generations? | ||
What about the founding stock Americans? | ||
What about people that have been here for five or six generations or even longer? | ||
People that were here since the Civil War? | ||
Or people that built the country during the Industrial Revolution? | ||
Really? | ||
It's the legal immigrants from Nicaragua from the 90s that are most affected? | ||
Seriously? | ||
What an insult. | ||
What an insult to real Americans. | ||
She can barely speak English. | ||
You're the most affected? | ||
We have an Hispanic immigrant from New York who's gonna complain, the country looks like Mexico. | ||
Yeah, I wonder why. | ||
That's crazy. | ||
Maybe it's because everyone from Mexico moved here. | ||
So, you know, that's just for openers. | ||
We hear nothing about tariffs and trade except for from the communist who's not even going to vote for Trump. | ||
We heard nothing about immigration other than from immigrants in broken English complaining about illegal immigration. | ||
Nothing about white people. | ||
It was all black people and about school choice, which is a spook for the G- You know, that's like a Betsy DeVos, uh, you know, Grand Rapids thing. | ||
Republican wet dream from the Heritage Foundation. | ||
That's your economic agenda. | ||
Devalue the currency, cut taxes, cut regulation, school choice. | ||
And then at the end, the greatest insult of all, you're going to bring up a total slut, Amber Rose. | ||
And I'm not just saying that. | ||
She calls herself a slut. | ||
She said it's a slut walk. | ||
She goes to the slut walk, now she's at the GOP convention with the face tattoo on her forehead, talking about how it doesn't matter if you're gay or straight. | ||
unidentified
|
Seriously? | |
And then at the very end, you get a prayer to a false god. | ||
You get this blasphemous, alien prayer to a false god, which is so unconscionably disrespectful. | ||
And consider the circumstances. | ||
Saturday, it literally was divine intervention. | ||
I actually believe that. | ||
That Trump turned his head in a twentieth of a millisecond and didn't get his head blown up. | ||
And that's how you thank God, is to come in and end the convention, end the session of the convention today, with a prayer to a false god. | ||
She says, the one and only God, blah blah blah. | ||
No, I'm sorry, the one and only God is Jesus Christ, that's who saved your life. | ||
But we're gonna have some, there's no place for that, there's no room for that, and why? | ||
You wanna know why? | ||
J.D. | ||
Vance's wife and Vivek and the Indians that are now in control of the party. | ||
Indians and Jews. | ||
That's who runs our country. | ||
Anybody but Christians. | ||
God forbid. | ||
It's all Indians and Jews praying to their false gods. | ||
So that's just really sick. | ||
That's really sick and really sad. | ||
You know, there was some hope that this near-death experience would have changed Trump and maybe he becomes more spiritual and maybe he leans into a more socially conservative agenda because they removed that from the GOP platform. | ||
But now we get this. | ||
We get a slut talking about gays, we get a communist, and then we get an Indian prayer to a false god. | ||
It sucks. | ||
That just goes to show the GOP has not been captured by Trump. | ||
Trump has been captured by the GOP. | ||
I've been saying this for a long time. | ||
And I and again, I'm glad he's alive. | ||
It made me very emotional that he almost died. | ||
A lot of people said, oh, you switched up. | ||
You're so critical of Trump. | ||
But when he almost got shot in the face, you're giving him a message of support. | ||
Well, obviously. | ||
They're like, Trump just got shot in the face and you're tweeting in support of him. | ||
Why aren't you criticizing his personnel policy? | ||
It's like, well, because he almost got shot in the face and actually it's a big deal. | ||
But it just goes to show he's the same thing. | ||
And that is, by the way, that is the central, central question. | ||
Will Trump conquer the GOP? | ||
Or will the GOP conquer Trump? | ||
Because they are at odds. | ||
Trump has a pro-America, pro-worker, pro-white, non-interventionist, nativist, immigration restrictionist, trade protectionist agenda. | ||
And the GOP has a neoliberal, neocon... | ||
Globalist agenda. | ||
So the question is, who wins the battle of wills? | ||
Does Trump bring his people into the GOP and make the GOP a party that represents his vision? | ||
Or does the GOP fill up his campaign and administration and make Trump work for the GOP? | ||
And we can clearly see it's the latter. | ||
We can clearly see that nine years in, Trump has not institutionalized his revolution, rather the institutions have made the revolution serve them. | ||
And now Trump has trotted out in a normal GOP convention. | ||
Would the convention look any different if it was DeSantis or Rubio? | ||
Maybe, because it wouldn't have the slut. | ||
Like, ask yourself, the convention today with all the black people talking about America's not racist and we need to cut taxes, would that convention look any different if DeSantis were the nominee? | ||
No. | ||
The only difference is that maybe Amber Rose wouldn't be there, so maybe it would be slightly better. | ||
But they bring Trump in with all of his personal charisma and personal aura as a prop. | ||
As a figurehead. | ||
And so now all the Trump guys like me are watching this shit and all the Trump supporters who are a little bit more naive and a little bit more willing to believe and they watch this and say, wow, what a great convention. | ||
But this is no different than if it was DeSantis. | ||
The only difference is that Trump has rubber stamped it and anointed the convention and given it his revolutionary credibility. | ||
So it's very disappointing, not surprising at all. | ||
It vindicates what I said before he got shot, which is that this is not going to go the way you think it's going to go. | ||
You think that Trump is going to win and it's going to be a victory for us. | ||
It's not a victory. | ||
Listen to what they're saying. | ||
This is who's going to work in the administration. | ||
When Trump sits beside Byron Donalds, Mike Johnson and JD Vance, And these are the people speaking. | ||
It's James, what's his name? | ||
Whatever the guy's name is. | ||
When it's all these black guys, and it's Katie Britt, and it's Glenn Youngkin. | ||
These are the people that are going to be running the GOP. | ||
These are the people that are going to be delivering the policy. | ||
unidentified
|
And they all suck! | |
That's what it's going to be. | ||
It's going to be legal immigration. | ||
It's going to be tax cuts deepening and making permanent the Paul Ryan tax cut from 2018. | ||
That's going to be the platform. | ||
We heard tonight, school choice, tonight we heard almost nothing about immigration. | ||
Nothing about legal immigration at all. | ||
Tonight was about the economy. | ||
We heard nothing about legal immigration. | ||
We heard very little about illegal immigration or immigration at all. | ||
We heard almost nothing about trade. | ||
All we heard about was tax cuts to school choice. | ||
And inflation. | ||
And energy dominance. | ||
Nothing about critical minerals, supply chains, trade, immigration. | ||
It wasn't there. | ||
unidentified
|
That's what it's gonna be. | |
So people need to realize this is what you're going to get. | ||
Yes, Trump is going to be swept into the White House in a landslide. | ||
Absolutely. | ||
He's going to be swept in. | ||
It's going to be the biggest GOP victory in 35 years. | ||
They're going to flip Nevada back and all the Rust Belt states, Arizona, Georgia. | ||
It's going to be unbelievable. | ||
But it's going to be swept in with basically your standard GOP fare and all the same personnel. | ||
And J.D. | ||
Vance is the epitome of that. | ||
We didn't get to talk about this yet. | ||
I'm gonna talk about J.D. | ||
Vance, we're gonna read the Super Chats, then we're gonna end for tonight, and we're gonna pick it up tomorrow at about 5 or 6 o'clock in Central Time. | ||
5 or 6 o'clock in the evening. | ||
But the thing about J.D. | ||
Vance is that this guy was the never-Trumper. | ||
He was who we were fighting in 16. | ||
When Trump was Trump, when we let Trump be Trump, and he was himself, and in 16 he was saying, we're going to build a wall. | ||
We're going to ban Muslims. | ||
We're going to put tariffs on cars. | ||
We're going to make Mexico pay for it. | ||
We're going to win on trade. | ||
We're going to bring home the troops. | ||
When Trump was Trump, J.D. | ||
Vance said he's like Hitler. | ||
He's a noxious racist. | ||
He wrote an ode to Obama and said, oh, conservatives only hate Obama because they're jealous of how smart he is. | ||
He voted for Evan McMullin, handpicked by Bill Kristol, a CIA agent handpicked by Bill Kristol to be a spoiler in Utah. | ||
And now that Trump has won, now that Trump won the nomination, won the presidency, stopped the steal, he overcame the coup, beat the charges, beat the assassination attempt, now who's going to be the vice president? | ||
The Never Trumper. | ||
The counter-revolution is complete. | ||
The Never Trumper has become the successor to Trump. | ||
The Never Trumper from 16 that we hated, that we fought against. | ||
The epitome of it. | ||
Voting for the guy backed by Bill Kristol. | ||
He came from Yale Law School. | ||
He did a documentary for Netflix. | ||
He was a contributor for CNN. | ||
He worked at the American Enterprise Foundation or American Enterprise Institute, AEI. | ||
He is now the vice president, the successor, the heir apparent of the Trump revolution, the never Trumper. | ||
If that doesn't tell you that we failed, I don't know what does. | ||
I don't know how much clearer it could get. | ||
And people say, well, he changed. | ||
Well, you know what? | ||
After Mike Pence's betrayal, after the assassination attempt, after the charges, you actually need to pick somebody that has been with you from the beginning. | ||
I don't think that's a stretch. | ||
People say, well, he's changed. | ||
One, I don't think that's true. | ||
In fact, I know that's not true. | ||
But let's put that aside. | ||
People say, well, Nick, grow up. | ||
People change. | ||
You know what? | ||
When you're the president getting shot in the face, when you're the president getting charged, and impeached, and overthrown, and cooed, you need a vice president that has always supported you, not a guy that didn't get it for years, then needed your endorsement, and then had an epiphany. | ||
You can afford to find somebody else. | ||
People say who? | ||
I don't know. | ||
But somebody else. | ||
It could have been anybody else. | ||
They say, pick J.D. | ||
Vance. | ||
Should it have been Chris Christie? | ||
Should it have been Chris Christie? | ||
You know, if Chris Christie apologized, could he be the VP? | ||
What about Nikki Haley? | ||
Nikki Haley endorsed Trump. | ||
Should she be the VP? | ||
Maybe she's changed. | ||
J.D. | ||
Vance was a Trump hater. | ||
Then J.D. | ||
Vance decided he was going to run for Senate, and he couldn't do that without Trump's endorsement, which he eventually got. | ||
And then the people that got him that endorsement, J.D. | ||
Vance doesn't return their phone calls. | ||
unidentified
|
Because he don't give a shit. | |
So, if that doesn't tell you that a counter-revolution has occurred to subvert and take over the Trump administration from within, you're not paying attention. | ||
Look at the people closest to him. | ||
His campaign manager, Chris LaCivita, after January 6th, was calling for the 25th Amendment to be invoked and Trump removed from office. | ||
You could go to his Twitter. | ||
All of his likes, Chris LaCivita, the campaign manager, his likes after January 6th are all tweets saying Trump should be removed. | ||
Trump is a criminal. | ||
Trump is an insurrectionist. | ||
Now he's running the campaign. | ||
Susie Wiles, the other campaign advisor, to this day will not admit the election was stolen. | ||
J.D. | ||
Vance, the vice president, was a never-Trumper. | ||
It's not that he didn't vote for Trump, which he didn't. | ||
He was a never-Trumper. | ||
He said Trump is Hitler-like, racist, noxious, toxic. | ||
And who else is sitting with Donald Trump? | ||
Tucker Carlson, who texted his friends after January 6th, Trump is a demon. | ||
Trump is a destroyer. | ||
He's like the devil. | ||
And I can't wait until he's out of office. | ||
I can't wait until he's gone and we don't have to talk about him. | ||
This is after Trump was shot at, impeached, betrayed by Pence, and undermined by his own administration in the first term. | ||
This is who he surrounds himself with. | ||
This is who's running his campaign. | ||
This is his vice president. | ||
This is who's in a stable in the stands at the convention. | ||
It's unreal. | ||
After you get shot at, you need to surround yourself with loyalists, okay? | ||
After you get charged, you need to surround yourself with loyalists. | ||
After you get impeached, you need to surround yourself with loyalists. | ||
After somebody publishes a front-page editorial in the New York Times saying, I'm in the deep state, I've worked for Trump, and I'm sabotaging him, you need to surround yourself with loyalists. | ||
Not people that had the epiphany when they needed an endorsement. | ||
Not people that turn around to run your campaign when it was clear you were not defeated. | ||
I would understand if you had one person, you know, maybe they weren't always for Trump, but maybe they came around, but it's literally everybody. | ||
And they have completely different priorities than Trump. | ||
And J.D. | ||
Vance getting nominated just proves that. | ||
To be the VP, that is. | ||
And who's gonna take over after Trump? | ||
J.D. | ||
Vance with his Indian wife. | ||
And you know, look, I'm not a racist guy. | ||
So I'm not saying, like, ignorantly, oh, you have an Indian wife, F you. | ||
I'm saying, what kind of values, what kind of values does a man have to marry somebody that far outside your race who isn't even a Christian? | ||
It says something about your values. | ||
I'm sorry, but, you know, people say he's this rural guy from Ohio. | ||
You know something? | ||
I was raised differently. | ||
I was raised with the values that, you know, my parents kind of do expect me to marry. | ||
I mean, I don't want to throw my parents under the bus. | ||
They'd be fine if I didn't. | ||
But it is a value that you marry someone that's like you. | ||
You marry someone that's like you. | ||
You marry someone that's like the kind of people that you grew up with and like your parents. | ||
And you marry a Christian. | ||
What kind of man marries somebody that isn't a Christian? | ||
What kind of man marries somebody named Usha? | ||
Clearly he doesn't value his racial identity, his heritage. | ||
Clearly he doesn't value his religion. | ||
He doesn't marry a woman that professes Jesus Christ? | ||
What does that say about him? | ||
unidentified
|
So... You know, that's just a big problem. | |
And not only that, but he's an ever-Trumper. | ||
And his values are not consistent. | ||
I heard today that he went on TV and was calling for Iran to be bombed. | ||
I'm going to pull it up and see if I can find it. | ||
Let's see. | ||
unidentified
|
Let me see if I can find it really quickly, because somebody said he went and called for war with Iran. - At the end of the day, the teeps But I don't know if that's true because I didn't see it. | |
your name. | ||
We want to know one thing. | ||
What are you doing to help American workers? | ||
But I don't know if that's true because I didn't see it. | ||
Does anybody have the clip? | ||
unidentified
|
The head of the Teamsters from earlier tonight at the Republican National Convention with his message to the Republicans who have gathered here in Milwaukee, about 50,000 people is what they've expected for this week in this. | |
See if I can find it. | ||
Whoops. | ||
unidentified
|
There we go. | |
2,400 delegates who gathered here today whoops there we go I got it on Fox so let's watch this This is J.D. | ||
Vance's first interview since he became the VP. | ||
unidentified
|
Now, Marine, Senator, author of the massive big hit, both in a book form and movie, Hillbilly Elegy, is the Republican vice presidential nominee, J.D. | |
Vance. | ||
Sir, how are you? | ||
Good, man. | ||
How are you? | ||
Good to see you. | ||
I'm sure you've had a very slow day today. | ||
Yeah, that's right. | ||
Nothing happened. | ||
Pretty boring. | ||
Let's talk about the process. | ||
Sure. | ||
A lot of questions for you, obviously. | ||
What was it like, because the last couple of days... Well, speed this up. | ||
Well, it's down to two, you and Senator Rubio. | ||
What was that like for you? | ||
You know, I just tried to enjoy the ride. | ||
What an honor to be considered. | ||
If it had been Senator Rubio, obviously, Mark was a good guy, he's a good friend. | ||
So I tried to just have a good attitude about it. | ||
You know, my family's very excited, obviously, asking a lot of questions. | ||
I will say, Sean, I hope I'm not betraying too many confidences here, but when the President called me today to actually formally offer me to become, you know, the Vice President of the United States, which sounds crazy. | ||
My son, my seven-year-old son, was sort of making noise in the background. | ||
You know, I'm getting so embarrassed. | ||
It's like, oh my God, Donald Trump's asking me to be his Vice President. | ||
So the phone rings, he calls you, and you're like, okay, this is the call, or maybe not the call. | ||
Or maybe it's the bad call, right? | ||
It's the call, he knows whether it's good or bad. | ||
But then he actually has me put my seven-year-old son on the phone. | ||
You think about this, everything that's happened, the guy just got shot at a couple of days ago, and he takes the time to talk to my seven-year-old, it's a moment I'll never forget. | ||
All right, uh, and what did he actually say? | ||
You know, he just said, look, uh, I think I'm gonna go save this country, uh, I think you're the guy who can help me in the best way, you can help me govern, you can help me win, you can help me in some of these Midwestern states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and so forth. | ||
And he said, rightfully, that we have been very, very close for a long time, but especially since I endorsed you in Let me ask you, you know this happens all the time. | ||
You get announced, and incoming begins. | ||
Let's go over some of it. | ||
Please. | ||
And not questions you haven't heard before. | ||
New would be asked. | ||
All of them are fairly predictable. | ||
But I think Americans want the answers. | ||
Let me go back to, for example, after he announced this, the media. | ||
I'm starting to read every article, right? | ||
Yeah. | ||
And criticizing you that, you know, here's a guy. | ||
This came out of Ohio. | ||
His support for a national abortion ban and his twisted belief that women should stay only in Ohio. | ||
for the benefit of their children exemplifies his dangerous extremism. | ||
He's not just wrong for Ohio. | ||
He's wrong for the country. | ||
I actually saw those articles this weekend. | ||
And I said, why would I wait? | ||
I wanted to know the answer. | ||
I called you. | ||
Yeah. | ||
How do you address that? | ||
Well, look, Sean, first of all, Democrats have completely twisted my words here. | ||
And as you know, both me and my mom actually were victims of domestic violence. | ||
When they say that Vance has supported women staying in violent marriages, I think it's shameful for them to take a guy with my history and my background and say that that's what I believe. | ||
It's not what I believe. | ||
It's not what I said. | ||
And I think, Sean, it's evidence of the Democrats' complete inability to talk about the future. | ||
What are Republicans running on? | ||
Delivering the peace and prosperity that Donald Trump already delivered in his four years. | ||
What are Democrats running on? | ||
Lies and complete distortions of people's records. | ||
That is something I think the American people are going to reject. | ||
They're too smart for it. | ||
You know, I said on January 2nd, when the year started, I said, let me tell you what this year is going to be like. | ||
And I tried to give a perspective to my audience. | ||
It's not my first rodeo. | ||
It's RJD. | ||
And I said, Democrats are going to try to make this election about vote, democracy, and peril. | ||
How often have we heard that? | ||
Meanwhile, they might want to disenfranchise every primary voter that they had. | ||
And they wanted to get Donald Trump off the ticket in some states, another example. | ||
It would be about January 6th. | ||
It would be about abortion. | ||
And we hate Donald Trump. | ||
Can they run on the issue, is the country better off than it was four years ago? | ||
Of course they can't, Sean. | ||
They can't run on that at all. | ||
And they can't run on the issue of, is the world more peaceful than it was four years ago? | ||
Remember when Donald Trump left office, you had real, growing peace movements all over the world. | ||
The Abraham Accords that showed real promise of uniting the Israelis with some of the Sunni Arab states. | ||
There was no war in Europe. | ||
Asia looked like it was under pretty good control. | ||
And three years later, it seems like we have a conflict in every corner of the world. | ||
And Americans are poorer, Sean. | ||
You know a little about my background. | ||
I grew up in a poor family. | ||
I remember when my grandmother, who raised me, she used to negotiate with the Meals on Wheels people to give her additional food so that she could feed me. | ||
How does a family like that deal with Joe Biden's grocery price inflation? | ||
How does a family like that deal with gasoline and energy price inflation? | ||
It's gotten more expensive just to live a good life in this country. | ||
Donald Trump and I want to make that better, and we have policies to make it better. | ||
Democrats have lies and distortions, and again, I don't think the American people are going to reward that. | ||
I had an opportunity to talk to Donald Trump, and I knew this question would come up actually for almost every person that was under consideration, and that was past comments that you had made about him. | ||
I'll tell you after what his response was, but you didn't have the nicest things to say about him back in 2016, which seems like a long time ago now. | ||
You literally said, you texted a friend, that Trump is a cynical a-hole like Nixon who wouldn't be that bad and might even prove useful, and that he's America's Hitler, and you compared him to a cultural heroine in the Atlantic Monthly. | ||
Skeptical. | ||
So, he's either Hitler or he's an a-hole. | ||
Well, I was skeptical. | ||
Let's say, well, wait a minute. | ||
What did he mean? | ||
Well, Sean, I don't hide from that. | ||
I was certainly skeptical of Donald Trump in 2016, but President Trump was a great president. | ||
So he's he's either Hitler or he's an a-hole. | ||
Well, I was skeptical. | ||
unidentified
|
I think he changed the minds of a lot of Americans because, again, he delivered that peace and prosperity. | |
If you go back to what I thought in 2016, another thing that was going on, Sean, is I bought into the media's lies and distortions. | ||
I bought into this. | ||
Yeah, he realized that Trump, just like the liberal media, he realized that Trump is not what he said he was. | ||
Like, let's let's just be very honest. | ||
Just like the New York Times is no longer afraid of Trump, for the same reason J.D. | ||
Vance is no longer afraid of Trump. | ||
And by the way, J.D. | ||
Vance clearly went on Ozempic because look at how fatty he is here versus skinny. | ||
J.D. | ||
Vance, when Trump was saying, ban Muslims, build a wall, kick out the illegals, Vance said, he's Hitler. | ||
Then when Trump got in and cut taxes and, you know, banned Obamacare, then J.D. | ||
Vance said, oh, maybe he's not Hitler. | ||
So it's not like he came around to Trump. | ||
It's that Trump You know, he realized that Trump was not actually a threat to the liberal status quo. | ||
unidentified
|
The idea that somehow he was going to be so different, a terrible threat to democracy, it was a joke. | |
Joe Biden is the one who's trying to throw his political opposition in jail. | ||
Joe Biden is the one who's trying to undermine American law and order. | ||
President Trump did a really good job. | ||
And I actually think it's a good thing. | ||
When you see somebody, you were wrong about him. | ||
You ought to admit the mistake and admit you were wrong. | ||
When I brought it up to him, he said, yeah, he goes, but he doesn't think that way now, does he? | ||
So he actually had a very good sense of humor about it. | ||
I also said a lot about him and he understands. | ||
Were you as political back then? | ||
Yeah, we know. | ||
He didn't deliver. | ||
We know. | ||
That's what he's saying. | ||
It's really sort of the story of growing up in poverty, achieving the American dream, starting out in business. | ||
And I really didn't care that much about politics. | ||
I certainly had views. | ||
I was Republican, but I was not nearly as involved, obviously, as I am today. | ||
And again, there's something that really changed for me, and I think for a lot of Americans, is we saw the results of the Trump presidency compared to the obsessive, deranged media reaction in 2019 and 2020. | ||
Like, what's going on? | ||
What's so bad about this guy that he's delivered rising wages for American workers and peace in the world? | ||
Yeah, we know. | ||
He didn't deliver. | ||
We know. | ||
That's what he's saying. | ||
He's like, you know, the media warned us that things would actually change, but they really didn't. | ||
That's what he's saying. | ||
unidentified
|
Hello? | |
Are you listening? | ||
Trump said, like, we're going to have radical change. | ||
Everybody was terrified of that. | ||
Then there wasn't radical change because he was subverted by the GOP and by his personnel. | ||
No, the wall was not built. | ||
It's an 18-foot fence. | ||
They didn't build nearly enough of it. | ||
NAFTA was not thrown out. | ||
NATO was not disbanded. | ||
We did not make allies with Russia. | ||
We did not end any of the wars. | ||
The troops did not come home. | ||
And they say, oh, well, it was a big success. | ||
Illegal and legal immigration didn't come down, contrary to what people say. | ||
I could back that up. | ||
unidentified
|
Why is the media so obsessed with it? | |
I think a lot of Americans actually have had a similar awakening over the last few years because you compare the results with the reaction, and clearly the people with the reaction to the problem, that's not President Trump's problem. | ||
You know, a lot of people forget, too, back in the first debate, I believe it was, and Kamala Harris was on the stage with Joe Biden at the time, and she said, I was that girl, if you remember that moment. | ||
It was a very hard-hitting moment. | ||
What she was referring to is the fact that Joe Biden had partnered with a former Klansman and tried to stop the integration of public schools. | ||
Joe Biden's words, he didn't want those schools to become racial jungles. | ||
Sean, Kamala Harris basically said Joe Biden wouldn't want a little black girl like me to live in her neighborhood. | ||
He also pouted around with Klansmen. | ||
She said this months before she joined his ticket, Sean. | ||
I said some bad things about Donald Trump 10 years ago, but I think it's actually important to be able, again, to admit that you're wrong. | ||
I think I can make a good case to the American people, people who may have been skeptical of the president back in 2016, who can be skeptical now that we've seen the results. | ||
All right, let's talk about it a little bit, and I think these are important times and consequential times. | ||
Sure. | ||
unidentified
|
And we see what's happening with the border, for example. | |
I think it's now become the number one national security threat. | ||
Oh, absolutely. | ||
And we have nearly 11 million unvetted Joe Biden illegal immigrants in this country. | ||
What should we do with them? | ||
Well, Sean, we have to deport people. | ||
We have to deport people who broke our laws, who came in here, and I Do you see what I'm saying? | ||
OK, so we have like 40 million illegals, 25 to 40 million illegals. | ||
And they say, so what are we going to do? | ||
J.D. | ||
Vance says, well, we have to deport them. | ||
Let's start with the criminal, violent, illegal. | ||
That's what Trump did the first time. | ||
And Trump did not have very many deportations. | ||
Let's just be real. | ||
The amount of deportations under Trump was not extraordinarily high, not extraordinarily higher than his predecessors. | ||
And the numbers are a little bit funky because when Obama would turn illegals away at the border, they counted that as a deportation. | ||
So I think Trump's were higher, but they were not extraordinarily higher. | ||
So when J.D. | ||
Vance says, well, we're going to prioritize the criminal illegals and use local law enforcement, that means there's not going to be more than a million that go back. | ||
There's 40 million here. | ||
7 million came in the past 4 years. | ||
They're not going to deport more than a million? | ||
2 million? | ||
When they say we're going to prioritize the violent criminals, they mean nobody is going back. | ||
Nobody is going back. | ||
If an illegal murders somebody, they're going to deport them. | ||
They might do remain in Mexico. | ||
But illegals will keep coming in. | ||
There will be more illegals here by the end of this term than there were at the beginning, if that's the policy. | ||
In the first election, Trump said we're going to deport all of them. | ||
Deportation squads. | ||
We're going to expand ICE, and everyone's going home. | ||
Now they say, everyone's going home, we're going to do local law enforcement, and we're going to prioritize the violent illegals. | ||
Local law enforcement is not going to go door-to-door deporting taxpaying, working illegals. | ||
They're probably going to, mark my words, they're going to enshrine DACA into law. | ||
Mark my words, clip this. | ||
When Trump is president, they're going to protect the DACA recipients. | ||
The DACA recipients won't go home. | ||
And there will be fewer illegals deported in this term than there were in the first term. | ||
Watch. | ||
unidentified
|
Just watch. | |
We are depriving Americans of a second chance with their loved ones. | ||
You cannot keep on doing this. | ||
You're orphaning an entire generation of kids. | ||
Go to Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Sean. | ||
You have thousands of grandparents raising grandchildren that they weren't expecting to raise because of the poison Joe Biden let it come across the border. | ||
President Trump is the guy to stop this, and if we don't stop it, we're gonna lose a generation of kids. | ||
You know, when I saw you in Atlanta, I said, I felt a little embarrassed because I was one of the few Americans, because most people knew Hillbilly Elegy. | ||
He was a massive bestseller that became a movie. | ||
And I didn't, I literally read at least a book a day researching radio and television. | ||
And so I decided I'd watch the movie. | ||
And when I saw you, I did ask you, is this really what your life was? | ||
Appalachia? | ||
And this is the history of your life. | ||
Appalachia. | ||
You become a Marine. | ||
By the way, your mom was a drug addict and an alcoholic. | ||
Your father, not exactly the greatest father in the world. | ||
And you grew up poor. | ||
You had an amazing grandmother that came out of your life, too. | ||
But then you joined the Marines. | ||
You served in Iraq. | ||
You came out of school. | ||
You went to Ohio State. | ||
You went to Yale. | ||
You prospered at Yale. | ||
Then you went on to be successful in business. | ||
Which, by the way, Democrats are criticizing you for. | ||
They wish you failed, I guess, when they wrote that. | ||
Considering where you came from, it's the American dream. | ||
And then, you know, you got into politics. | ||
And you did so successfully. | ||
A pretty amazing story. | ||
Give us some texture and context to that life. | ||
I mean, that's a tough life you had. | ||
Who cares? | ||
Who cares? | ||
Sure. | ||
How do you view your role in terms of handling that moment? | ||
Well, it's very simple, Sean. | ||
I think you owe it to the president to be honest with him if you don't think he's doing the right thing, if you disagree with him. | ||
But you do it in private. | ||
You offer your counsel in private, because a lot of the vultures in the press, they will blow up every public statement. | ||
So you've got my colleague right here. | ||
I call them state-run media. | ||
No, they absolutely are state-run media. | ||
In fact, they're so state-run that even after President Trump was shot, and he showed a remarkable amount of unity and defiance and calmness, they blamed him. | ||
Let's talk about, I'm sure in the course of this process, it had to go through your head, God forbid, what if we saw this on Saturday, President Trump. | ||
Are you ready? | ||
There we go. | ||
Secret Service. | ||
I've gotten no Secret Service. | ||
Gotten people willing to sacrifice their lives. | ||
Just a mere 130 unnoticed, apparently, except by people in the crack force. | ||
Terrible, terrible, terrible. | ||
But the reverberations in the country, it has any skill at all. | ||
Any skill of shooting, it's a big, is wild. | ||
Assuming that in 115 days, early voting starts in about 64 days. | ||
In Pennsylvania State, you know very well. | ||
Let's start with immigration. | ||
What do we do with the nearly 11 million illegal immigrants? | ||
And I might add, many coming from countries with terror ties like Syria and Iran and Afghanistan and people from Venezuela and Egypt and tens of thousands from China and Russia. | ||
What could happen? | ||
Is there an orderly way to say, if you didn't come in legally, we will escort you home? | ||
Yes, they're in, Sean. | ||
First of all, we've got to stop the flow to begin with. | ||
Joe Biden has thrown open the southern border. | ||
President Trump had it under control. | ||
We've got to stop the flow to begin with. | ||
Now, what do you do with the 11 million people? | ||
I actually think it's probably more than 11 million people who are here right now. | ||
Number one, you start with the most violent people. | ||
The people have criminal records, and you've got to be willing to deport them. | ||
Number two, how do we find them? | ||
Well, I think a lot of them, we actually know where they are, Sean. | ||
That's what the crazy thing about the Biden administration is, they let people in, they give them asylum, and we actually know that these people are sort of out there in our country. | ||
Some will be hard to find, sure, but a lot of them you actually can find just because, just if you actually try to look, which is what the Biden administration hasn't done. | ||
See, so this is what I'm talking about. | ||
Everybody is talking about Trump. | ||
They're saying, when Trump gets elected, you're going back. | ||
You have six months because Trump says we're going to carry out the largest deportation in American history. | ||
Do you know what it would require to deport millions of people? | ||
It would require a unique task force under the Department of Homeland Security. | ||
Not local law enforcement. | ||
It would require a massive expansion of ICE, maybe even a new, unique division. | ||
You would need to hire more people. | ||
You would need money to do it. | ||
You would need a sweeping mandate. | ||
And you know what would happen? | ||
It would involve, yes, indeed, going door to door and rounding up a lot of people. | ||
And the media would be attacking every single day. | ||
It would be relentless. | ||
Just like in 2018 when there were the kids in cages and family separation, do you remember the relentless media onslaught and then eventually Trump called Stephen Miller and told him to stop? | ||
It would be that on steroids. | ||
So if there's going to be a massive deportation, They need to be gearing people up and getting ready. | ||
It would need to be a big, ambitious, bold, central plan. | ||
When they ask, how are we going to deport people, and they say, we're going to prioritize the violent illegals, and we're going to do e-verify, that tells you they are not serious. | ||
Okay? | ||
If they were serious, what they would say is, it's going to be unpopular. | ||
The media's not gonna like it. | ||
We're going to expand ICE. | ||
We're going to ask Congress for a billion dollars. | ||
We're going to hire 50,000 border agents. | ||
Like, that is what it would sound like if they were even remotely serious about deporting more than a million or two people. | ||
But when they say, how are you going to deport the 11 million? | ||
There's like probably 23 million at least. | ||
When they say, how are you going to deport 11 million? | ||
And the response is prioritize violent illegals. | ||
And do we verify? | ||
You know they are not serious. | ||
They will not deport anybody. | ||
Local law enforcement won't do it. | ||
Congress will never pass mandatory e-verify. | ||
It's never going to happen. | ||
Republicans wouldn't ask Democrats for mandatory e-verify in September. | ||
When Republicans and Democrats were facing down the government shutdown deadline on September 30, 2023, The debate was whether there would be included in the appropriations bill, E-Verify. | ||
Republicans wouldn't even bring it to the negotiating table. | ||
That's why Kevin McCarthy is no longer the speaker, because Kevin McCarthy would not even allow E-Verify to be included in the appropriations bill as part of the border security concessions, as the starting point in negotiations. | ||
So when they say, We need to make it harder to work. | ||
They mean E-Verify, but he will never say mandatory E-Verify because they won't get it. | ||
So what they are going to get is the regular policy. | ||
Even Biden deports criminal illegal aliens. | ||
Even Biden deports violent offenders. | ||
So when they say we're going to carry out the largest deportation force, how are you going to do it? | ||
Local law enforcement will prioritize violent illegals. | ||
That's what Biden is doing. | ||
That's what Trump was doing. | ||
That's what Obama was doing. | ||
And when they say you verify, it's something Republicans have always talked about. | ||
They've never gotten. | ||
They won't get it now. | ||
That's probably why he didn't even talk about it. | ||
So that's just how, and like, all of that is true, but no one will disagree with that. | ||
If you ask Mark Krikorian from CIS, who doesn't even like me, if you ask Federation for American Immigration Reform, if you ask any anti-immigration group, if you ask Ann Coulter, Ann Coulter hates my guts. | ||
Ann Coulter's not a racist. | ||
Ann Coulter's a fag hag, liberal. | ||
She would say the same thing. | ||
Ann Coulter would say the same thing I'm saying now. | ||
Peter Brimelow would say any anti-immigration or rather immigration restrictionist advocate would tell you the exact same thing that I'm telling you now. | ||
When they say there's a large deportation force, yeah, that and a dollar will buy you a cup of coffee. | ||
And when they listen to this, We have to make it harder to work here and prioritize violent offenders. | ||
That is a political jack-off. | ||
They're not deporting anybody. | ||
So, you know, please spare me all that. | ||
unidentified
|
that. | |
And they know that. | ||
Unleash, unleash American energy. | ||
Do you ever notice they always say the same phrases? | ||
on Unleash American energy. | ||
Energy dominance. | ||
Unleash American energy. | ||
Energy dominance. | ||
Unleash... Because Big Oil wrote on a napkin, here, bitch, this is what everyone's going to say. | ||
Here, bitch, this is what we're all going to say. | ||
Unleash American dominance. | ||
Energy dominance. | ||
Unleash American energy dominance. | ||
We're going to be energy dominant. | ||
You ever notice they all say the same thing? | ||
How are we going to bring down inflation? | ||
Unleash America! | ||
And guess what? | ||
The fracking is tapped, okay? | ||
Global oil production has not been increasing for 20 years. | ||
It's just that the shale oil boom occurred, okay? | ||
We were getting to the point in 2005-2008 when global oil production was not rising with demand. | ||
And it was tapering off and slowing. | ||
And then what happened is that we discovered shale. | ||
Because the price per barrel blew past $100 and kept going up, it made fracking economical. | ||
And we found these reserves in Texas and North Dakota. | ||
Then we started fracking. | ||
But fracking is becoming more expensive. | ||
Because when you begin fracking, It's cheaper and it's easier to exploit. | ||
But the more that you tap these reserves, the more difficult and more expensive it becomes. | ||
So... | ||
You know, this like, well, we're just going to keep fracking, we're just going to keep, this is not actually a long-term solution, okay? | ||
The era of cheap energy is coming to an end soon. | ||
It's not, we're not going to run out of fossil fuels, but the era of cheap energy probably coming to an end, and this is exacerbated by what's happening with Russia. | ||
I don't know how this changes anything. | ||
You know, Russia's natural gas supplies are really off of the market. | ||
LNG is stretched because the pipeline was taken down. | ||
You know, there's not a lot of LNG out there. | ||
It is more expensive. | ||
Liquefied natural gas, which is shipped over on ships. | ||
And Europe has to replace the cheap natural gas they were getting via pipeline from Russia with LNG. | ||
So the LNG is stretched. | ||
The idea that it's like, oh, you know, we just have to deregulate, that's actually not like a super long-term solution. | ||
unidentified
|
We've had energy independence. | |
Joe Biden has destroyed it. | ||
We could have energy dominance. | ||
We could be the main source of energy in the world. | ||
For Europe? | ||
Our allies? | ||
Absolutely, and that would actually weaken Russia and Iran and some of these other regimes. | ||
We're sitting on the Saudi Arabia of natural gas in Ohio and Pennsylvania. | ||
Joe Biden would rather buy this stuff from Iran than buy it from Pennsylvania workers. | ||
It doesn't make an ounce of sense, Sean. | ||
The other thing is you've got to reinvigorate the manufacturing economy. | ||
The biggest contrast the media doesn't talk about between Joe Biden and President Trump is President Trump was right about every single disaster that Joe Biden was wrong about. | ||
So the question was, how do we fix the economy? | ||
So the question was, how do we fix the economy? | ||
Oil. | ||
Really? | ||
Not tariffs? | ||
We're not going to put tariffs on China? | ||
We're not going to bring back manufacturing? | ||
No tariffs, no border control? | ||
If I were going to rebuild the economy, I'd say let's put tariffs on everybody. | ||
Let's put tariffs on China. | ||
Let's put tariffs on all these countries that are exporting their goods. | ||
I would say stop this near-shoring scam. | ||
The near-shoring, friend-shoring thing is a scam. | ||
You know, they say we are reducing our reliance on China because we're moving our operation, American companies are moving their operations to friendly nations, that's why they call it friend-shoring, like India, or Vietnam, or Mexico. | ||
But what's happening is that China is still doing most of the manufacturing. | ||
It's just that the last stage in the production process is now completed in India or Vietnam. | ||
So, from step 1 to step 50, it's in China, but then in step 51, it's in Vietnam or India, and then it gets shipped to America, so we're importing from a friendly country. | ||
And by the way, all the manufacturing is still going to every other country. | ||
It's not actually coming back to America. | ||
The Chips Act, all this stuff, it's not enough. | ||
We're not going to be building chips in America. | ||
It's not economical. | ||
There's not an ecosystem. | ||
There needs to be a much, much, much stronger commitment to rebuilding American industry than the three Biden economic, the infrastructure bill, the what do you call it? | ||
The Chips Act. | ||
And the Inflation Reduction Act. | ||
You need a much bigger commitment to rebuilding workshops, and you need to support a total ecosystem to build chips, not just the paltry amount of money they appropriated with the CHIPS Act. | ||
And it's still not economical to build these plants. | ||
They are building some of the plants. | ||
It's not economical. | ||
It doesn't make any sense. | ||
So there's no talk about chips. | ||
There's no talk about infrastructure. | ||
There's no talk about tariffs. | ||
There's no talk about trade. | ||
It's just energy. | ||
It's a big give me to fracking, it's a big give me to oil. | ||
unidentified
|
Here we go, here we go. | |
Don't call it the Vance Doctrine because it'll be the Trump Doctrine. | ||
Okay, but let's go over some of the hot spots in the world. | ||
I, for the like of me, don't understand Joe Biden's policy towards Iran. | ||
I don't understand why he allows China to have spy balloons. | ||
Here we go. | ||
Here we go. | ||
This is when he talks about Iran. | ||
unidentified
|
...maneuverings against our Air Force and international airways and our Navy and international waterways, why Russia got a waiver for the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, for example. | |
But we've got a lot of hot spots in the world. | ||
It's been very outspoken on the issue of Ukraine. | ||
Hundreds of billions of dollars in Joe Biden. | ||
And then I would argue that Joe Biden surrendered in the war on terrorism with Hamas by not supporting Israel further in their offensive moves after the worst terror attack in their history. | ||
Let's get your overall view. | ||
Let's look at these hotspots. | ||
Ukraine, Iran, the war in the Middle East. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So first of all, Sean, I served in the United States Marine Corps for four years. | ||
One of the things I'm proudest of. | ||
The most important part, I think, of the Trump doctrine of foreign policy is you don't commit America's troops unless you really have to. | ||
But when you do, you punch and you punch hard. | ||
I think that's the way that you respect America's brave men and women who are serving. | ||
Now, let me say something about... When you say that, does that... Like, for example, how President Trump beat the caliphate. | ||
It was an overwhelming force and it was done pretty fast. | ||
How President Trump beat the caliphate, beat ISIS, which people said literally couldn't be done, and he did it in a matter of months. | ||
But also Iran, Sean, a lot of people recognize that we need to do something with Iran, but not these weak little bombing runs. | ||
If you're going to punch the Iranians, you punch them hard, and that's what he did when he took out Soleimani. | ||
By the way, that action, people said that it would lead to a broader war. | ||
It actually brought peace. | ||
It actually checked the Iranians and slowed them down a little bit. | ||
But let me just say something about this Iran issue, because maybe the most important diplomatic breakthrough in the Trump administration was the Abrahamic war. | ||
Wow. | ||
So that's Vance. | ||
That's your base VP. | ||
We need to bomb Iran. | ||
Seriously? | ||
The Trump doctrine is that, you know, when you go to war, you go to war hard. | ||
And we need to bomb Iran. | ||
What is this? | ||
Why did I just do that? | ||
That's crazy. | ||
That's your VP. | ||
There it is. | ||
What's the proposal? | ||
Nothing about a wall. | ||
Hello? | ||
What are you going to do about illegals? | ||
Nothing about a wall. | ||
Nothing about tariffs. | ||
Nothing about trade. | ||
Nothing about immigration. | ||
Nothing about... What are we going to do with illegals? | ||
E-verify and deport violent illegals. | ||
That was Mitt Romney's. | ||
When Mitt Romney said they're going to self-deport, it was about E-verify. | ||
So this is Romney, okay? | ||
Just so you understand, this is Romney. | ||
Deport—prioritize violent illegals by deporting them? | ||
Whoa, that's so radical. | ||
That's Romney. | ||
You know, we gotta make it harder for them to work? | ||
E-Verify? | ||
Romney. | ||
And they don't even want it anymore, and they're not gonna get it. | ||
How do we fix the economy? | ||
unidentified
|
Oil! | |
That's the GOP. | ||
That's been the GOP forever. | ||
Oil! | ||
Not tariffs, not the Chips Act, not an infrastructure bill. | ||
Remember what Trump said? | ||
We're going to do an infrastructure bill, we're going to build roads, bridges, highways, and we're going to pay for it with tariffs. | ||
No, now it's just drill. | ||
Just deregulate energy so we can have more oil. | ||
More mining, more drilling. | ||
And then war! | ||
The Trump doctrine is bomb Iran now? | ||
Really? | ||
Bomb Iran? | ||
No, actually, that's one of the things that Trump made worse. | ||
Trump set us up for the present crisis because Trump ripped up the JCPOA. | ||
And then, consequently, what do you think happened? | ||
When we ripped up the Iran nuclear deal, Iran started enriching uranium, which made the Israelis insecure, which increased the chance of conflict. | ||
Trump killing Soleimani did not deter Iran. | ||
In what way did that deter Iran? | ||
And they were talking about bombing Iran during the lame duck period from November to January 2020. | ||
So, that's unbelievable. | ||
Well, it's not unbelievable. | ||
It's not surprising at all that J.D. | ||
Vance, J.D. | ||
Vance and his BFFs, who do you think benefits when we go to war with Iran? | ||
Palantir. | ||
The Pentagon. | ||
The CIA. | ||
And who did the Pentagon and the CIA give their contracts to? | ||
Palantir, run by Peter Thiel, J.D. | ||
Vance's mentor. | ||
unidentified
|
J.D. | |
Vance is a Marine from Yale, with Peter Thiel, from Palantir, a major contractor for the Pentagon and the intel community. | ||
And we're supposed to believe this guy's going to be anti-war? | ||
This guy's going to be against illegal immigration? | ||
The only reason, by the way, the only reason they're against the war in Ukraine is because they recognize there needs to be an off-ramp. | ||
They know they lost. | ||
They know it's over. | ||
They recognize there needs to be an off-ramp. | ||
There's even elements inside, clearly, the American security state that are seeking an off-ramp. | ||
And they think that Trump is going to be the guy to do it. | ||
Not all of them are aligned, but clearly there are some elements because they're leaking to the press all the time. | ||
Rand Corporation comes out and says it's an unwinnable war. | ||
And that's why J.D. | ||
Vance says it, and I'm sure in part it's because we need the missiles to send to Israel, not Ukraine. | ||
We have a limited supply of defensive missiles. | ||
We have a limited supply of those types of munitions. | ||
And if they're all going to Ukraine to support this war, we're literally going to run out, because we don't make them. | ||
We don't make them as fast as Russia makes them. | ||
We don't really even make them at all. | ||
And so we recognize that if we're going to keep replenishing Israel's stockpile of missiles and munitions, it can't all be going to Ukraine. | ||
I wouldn't be surprised if, in part, they are seeking an off-ramp from the war in Ukraine because we need to better supply Israel. | ||
Because you can't print missiles. | ||
And we don't make missiles anymore. | ||
And you can't give them all- Ukraine has a huge appetite for missiles. | ||
And all the stockpiles in Europe are running out. | ||
We're running out. | ||
They're running out. | ||
They're using way too many of them. | ||
Russia makes more of them, 4 to 1, 10 to 1, what we make in a given week or year. | ||
So it's no surprise that JD Vance wants to bomb Iran. | ||
This is your VP. | ||
Bomb Iran. | ||
Really? | ||
Unreal. | ||
He becomes a vice president, now he wants to bomb Iran. | ||
So yeah, I just don't even know what we're fighting for anymore. | ||
People defend all of this. | ||
People defend any of this. | ||
Trump says we're going to give green cards to every foreign student. | ||
Vance says we're going to bomb Iran. | ||
They don't even talk about building a wall. | ||
They don't even talk about trade. | ||
They just want to unleash energy and deepen the Paul Ryan tax cuts. | ||
And the RNC is an endless parade of based black guys Some Indian song, a slut with a face tattoo. | ||
unidentified
|
J.D. | |
Vance is a Never Trumper spook. | ||
The campaign is being run by Never Trumpers. | ||
And people say, if you criticize this, you're disloyal. | ||
People say, if you criticize this, it's treachery. | ||
If you criticize this, you're not trusting the plan. | ||
Well, you're blackmailing. | ||
Well, you're purity spiraling. | ||
I'm sorry. | ||
These are all the facts. | ||
So I think Trump has a remarkable story. | ||
I think he's a remarkable human being. | ||
I think there's a mythology of Trump. | ||
If you, you know, if you edit the story a certain way, it's pretty remarkable. | ||
But the political legacy is extremely complicated, very mixed, and I think at this point, exceedingly negative. | ||
And if J.D. | ||
Vance is the vice president, I got a newsflash for you. | ||
Project 2025 is not happening. | ||
I'm not going to tell you how I know that, but I do know that. | ||
I know it for a fact. | ||
If J.D. | ||
Vance is the vice president with his best friend, Susie Wiles, and Don Jr., Project 2025 is not going to happen. | ||
There will be no base chief of staff. | ||
There will be no base guy in PPO. | ||
Vance is going to exert a lot of control over the transition and the personnel with Susie Wiles, and they're going to fill it up with Teal allies. | ||
They're going to fill it up with American Moment and your Amazonis guys and Palantir guys. | ||
All the guys that Peter Thiel hired after January 6th are now going to be brought into the White House, and none of the good ones. | ||
So this is a severe crisis, and it's a very big problem, but nobody has the courage to talk about it because they're either overdosing on Cope, and they want to believe, or they are bad actors, or they're afraid of Trump. | ||
Nobody will talk about this because, one, if they do, they will be ostracized by the people that are doing the hiring. | ||
That's one. | ||
If I go up and criticize Trump, I'm not going to work in the administration. | ||
That's the mentality of a lot of people. | ||
That's one. | ||
Two, people are very naive and they have the willingness to believe. | ||
Maybe they weren't there in 2016. | ||
They don't even remember. | ||
They're just ignorant. | ||
And they say, no, the Trump revolution was always about low-black unemployment and E-Verify. | ||
And then the last category is people that know that Trump getting elected means that Netanyahu gets his go-for-broke war against Iran's proxies. | ||
Those are your three categories. | ||
But anyway. | ||
So that's Vance. | ||
It's a huge black pill. | ||
This is why I've been against Vance from the beginning, okay? | ||
Back in 2022, I warned people about this. | ||
I warned everybody. | ||
Nobody listened. | ||
They said I was purity spiraling. | ||
They said he's changed. | ||
They said I was crazy. | ||
They said I was schizo. | ||
They said, oh, so what? | ||
He was at AEI. | ||
So what? | ||
He voted for Evan McMullin. | ||
I was right. | ||
All the political people are wrong and I was right. | ||
All the people that have real serious jobs that are so much smarter than me, they were wrong. | ||
I was right. | ||
And when I warned everybody about Vance, they said, Oh, that's not going to happen. | ||
Marjorie's going to be the VP. | ||
Yeah, fucking right. | ||
Idiot. | ||
If you know the first thing about politics, you know, that was never going to happen ever. | ||
unidentified
|
It's going to be Marjorie. | |
Okay. | ||
No, it was gonna be Vance. | ||
Or somebody worse. | ||
Or similar, I should say. | ||
He's about the worst option you have because he's so smart and capable. | ||
This version will be extremely effective. | ||
So anyway. | ||
So that's that. | ||
That's your first night of the RNC. | ||
We're gonna, I don't know, should we read Super Chats? | ||
I kind of don't want to, and it's not loading, so I might just skip them. | ||
I don't know what's going on. | ||
on there must be some glitch with the super chat app because it won't load so i might not even be able to read it i I'll give it a minute. | ||
Oh, here we go. | ||
Yeah, it's back. | ||
All right. | ||
So I'll read the big ones. | ||
I'll read the big super chats. | ||
And then we're going to because we do have some big ones. | ||
I have some very big super chats. | ||
OK, so I will read these. | ||
And then. | ||
Then I'm going to go. | ||
Just remember, though, before people start to taper off, I'm going to be live tomorrow covering the RNC all over again. | ||
I'm going to be starting at 6 o'clock. | ||
I'll probably start maybe a little bit earlier. | ||
I started a little late today. | ||
So I'm going to shoot for like 5.30, 6 o'clock tomorrow. | ||
I'm going to be here all night tomorrow, just like I was today. | ||
So subscribe to the Rumble channel. | ||
Subscribe to the channel. | ||
Like the video. | ||
Tune in tomorrow, 5.30, 6 o'clock Central. | ||
I'll be doing it all over again. | ||
And if you're new here, remember, I'm the only one that's giving honest coverage here. | ||
And I'm not self-glazing here, but everybody else is part of it. | ||
Everybody loves to remind me that I'm not part of it. | ||
But that allows me to actually speak very candidly and honestly about it, very critically. | ||
I was the number one stream tonight. | ||
Aside from RSBN and Trump, which are the official channels, I was the number one stream on Rumble throughout the convention covering this convention. | ||
And I think that's a huge vote of confidence. | ||
Because I don't have a contract. | ||
I'm not being paid to be here. | ||
I am very critical. | ||
I am the total outsider, and I was the number one stream today. | ||
At one point, I just had 3,000 fewer viewers than Trump. | ||
I was at about 20,000. | ||
Trump's official account was at 23,000. | ||
Which is unbelievable support. | ||
So thanks everybody for tuning in. | ||
We're not done yet. | ||
I'm going to read the superchats, but usually people start to file out. | ||
So just thanks everybody for tuning in. | ||
I'm glad you love the coverage. | ||
I'll be back here, like I said, tomorrow, 536. | ||
It's the only coverage where somebody who's been here from the beginning And has any common sense and some candor is expressing their opinion on this stuff. | ||
Everybody else here is afraid to make an off-color joke. | ||
Everybody else just wants to glaze and blow smoke because they are there at the convention. | ||
I'm not there. | ||
I'm not allowed in. | ||
I got disavowed by Kevin McCarthy. | ||
But, you know, I represent the forgotten people that are saying, hey, man, this is bullshit. | ||
What happened to the 2016 Trump revolution? | ||
This is not actually how it started. | ||
I know people hate to be reminded of it. | ||
So ironic. | ||
You know, Trump is now the hegemonic force in the GOP. | ||
But if you remind everybody about 2016, they get all mad and they say, oh, you're unrealistic, you're purity spiraling. | ||
I'm just holding everybody to the standard of the Trump that won in the first place and that started this movement, not not her meet Dylan and her Hindu prayer to the cow or the elephant or whatever. | ||
So, you know, shame on me, I guess. | ||
But all right, we're going to take a look at these super chats. | ||
We're only going to read the big ones. | ||
We'll do a little replay while we do it. | ||
Let me just get set up a little bit here. | ||
Okay. | ||
unidentified
|
Whoa! | |
Where did it go? | ||
There it is, okay. | ||
Whoa! | ||
Where did it go? | ||
There it is, okay. | ||
Alright, let's see if this works, shall we? | ||
Dallas sent 133. | ||
First time superchatting. | ||
That seek prayer was outrageous. | ||
Appreciate what you're doing to put Jesus first. | ||
unidentified
|
Wow! | |
Well, hey, thank you so much for the huge superchat starting off strong. | ||
Everybody, let's get an 07 in the chat for Dallas. | ||
Appreciate the massive superchat, man. | ||
God bless you. | ||
I'm glad you're not the only one that was outraged by that. | ||
I thought that was ridiculous. | ||
And you know, a lot of people might say, oh, whatever. | ||
It's not whatever, okay? | ||
Jesus Christ does need to be front and center. | ||
This is a Christian country. | ||
Jesus Christ is God. | ||
We're not going to win without him. | ||
Jesus Christ saved Trump's life on Saturday, and yet nobody wants to give him any credit at this convention. | ||
People talk about Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass and my mama! | ||
My mama! | ||
No one talks about Jesus. | ||
Seriously? | ||
The only time his name was invoked was at the tail end of the prayer, and that was it. | ||
And then you have this song saying that one and only God is an elephant. | ||
Seriously? | ||
It is really offensive, and it's really shameful, and it's just inappropriate, and it's wrong. | ||
You get—your life gets saved, you have a near-death experience, you're almost going to die and go to hell, and then—or heaven, maybe, you know, purgatory, whatever. | ||
And you come out and say, oh, we're going to have this big free-for-all, and she goes up there and says, well, it's important that we tolerate everybody's religion. | ||
You know, actually, it's more important that we please God and Jesus. | ||
It's actually more important that we raise up the cross and we bow before the perfect sacrifice, actually. | ||
That's actually the most important thing, and that should be front and center, and that should be—they should have a crucifix on top of the convention the entire time. | ||
Instead, you get a little Nicky-Nack prayer at the end from a Lutheran with this Trump impression, and then you get this elephant call. | ||
It's ridiculous. | ||
So, thank you for the huge super chat, man. | ||
I really appreciate it, and I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels this way, because it's just outrageous. | ||
Bobby Johnson sent $200. | ||
Hey Nick, made some money betting on the VP pick from your prediction a few months back on Snicko's stream. | ||
Let's go! | ||
Thank you. | ||
Thanks a lot for the big super chat. | ||
Yeah, you know what? | ||
If you made money on that, you kind of owe me. | ||
I appreciate the super chat, but it is actually, I just see this as like a justified payment. | ||
I'm kidding, of course. | ||
No, but I appreciate the big super chat. | ||
Yeah, I called it. | ||
I can't take all the credit. | ||
I have good sources. | ||
But it goes to show I'm not bullshitting you. | ||
I'm not, you know, people are always like, oh, you don't know what you're talking about. | ||
You're not connected. | ||
I called this in April. | ||
I said in April it's going to be Vance because I do have good sources and God bless them. | ||
They're good people. | ||
They're good friends of mine. | ||
And I know they must think it's a little risky because I have a big mouth or whatever. | ||
But but yeah, so goes to show I'm not I'm not bullshitting you. | ||
When I tell you what's going on in the GOP, this is coming from people who know, and you know that because I made a correct prediction. | ||
A very big correct prediction. | ||
When everybody was saying, oh it's Rubio, it's, it's Burgum. | ||
Burgum was the favorite for months. | ||
Or weeks. | ||
Excuse me. | ||
But I appreciate the big super chat. | ||
Thank you for the support. | ||
She did! | ||
It is blasphemous and is voodoo. | ||
$200 when the Lutheran pastor said that beautiful benediction I was relieved and uplifted. | ||
Maybe a heretic, but a true Christian after all. | ||
Then the fucking Hindu bitch comes and fucks everything up with her voodoo shit. | ||
Sorry for my uncharacteristically filthy mouth, but she literally cursed the whole RNC with her blasphemy. | ||
unidentified
|
She did. | |
It is blasphemous and is voodoo. | ||
And it's totally inappropriate. | ||
You know, imagine if we had like a Muslim call to prayer. | ||
How would conservatives react to that? | ||
Or imagine if we had a Satanist go up there. | ||
And I'm not comparing whatever that was to Satanism, but it might as well be because it's a false god. | ||
So we have to stop with this indifferentism. | ||
It's Jesus Christ first only. | ||
Christ is king. | ||
That should be the rallying cry, not, you know, religious tolerance or whatever. | ||
So, thank you for the big super chat. | ||
Yeah, the language is justified. | ||
Because it is an outrage. | ||
And I agree, that benediction was nice, even though he's a heretic. | ||
It was a nice benediction. | ||
It was a nice message. | ||
It was wholesome. | ||
But yeah, it was absolutely ruined by this Hindu stuff. | ||
Richard Lyman sent $100. | ||
This was definitely an eerie sign for the fate of our democracy, NickFace. | ||
Richard Lyman sent $100. | ||
Thanks for the big super chat. | ||
Yeah, that's everybody's. | ||
Our democracy, our democracy. | ||
The fate of our democracy. | ||
That's all they know how to say. | ||
Richard Lyman sent $100. | ||
Nick is vindicated for the 1,000th time frown. | ||
You know, I hate when I'm right, but I am mostly always right. | ||
It's not easy. | ||
It's a curse. | ||
I have to see the horrible truth. | ||
I'm not the only one cursed with knowledge. | ||
That's like Thanos. | ||
You're not the only one cursed with knowledge. | ||
How do you know who I am? | ||
I'm like Tony Stark. | ||
Yeah, it's a curse. | ||
But thank you for the big super chat, unfortunately. | ||
Of all the words of tongue and pen, the saddest are these. | ||
Nick Fuentes was right again. | ||
Hate to see it. | ||
But I'm always right. | ||
True. | ||
W. Thanks for the big super chat. | ||
But we like Jack Kennedy. | ||
He got killed for fighting the Israelis and their nuclear bomb. | ||
It's all connected, man. | ||
The JFK, RFK assassinations, this one. | ||
It's all part of the same war. | ||
Shadow war. | ||

A wise man told me J.D. Vance would be VP pick. | ||
Here's your cut of the winnings. | ||
What a great day for us all. | ||
By the way, what did you think of my latest essay, explaining the shadow money system that controls the world? | ||
That's crazy. | ||
It's available alongside all my other essays at KeithWoods.pub. | ||
That's KeithWoods.pub. | ||
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
Thank you so much, Keith. | ||
My best friend, Keith Woods, everybody. | ||
Yeah, buy an ad, will ya, Keith? | ||
That's crazy. | ||
Advertising the substack, huh? | ||
Well, he's gotta beat Ron's Age Pervert or Rye Ignationalist or whatever. | ||
Yes. | ||
Well, hey, it was a good essay. | ||
I'm not gonna lie. | ||
Keith Woods does have a very good essay. | ||
It's about the Eurodollar system. | ||
If you don't know what that is, you gotta read it. | ||
And people talk about the monetary system. | ||
They talk about the international bankers. | ||
So hard to find good information about this. | ||
It's actually a very enlightening article. | ||
People should go and check it out. | ||
It talks about how we all know about fractional reserve banking, but there really are no currency controls from the Federal Reserve. | ||
There's a global system where international bankers are creating and determining what the supply of money will be. | ||
We don't even know how much money there is. | ||
And it talks all about how this discussion of a BRICS currency or some other currency might replace the dollar as the world's reserve. | ||
He talks about how that's never going to happen, or at least it's not going to happen anytime soon. | ||
So if you're interested in that subject, it is good. | ||
I'll shill for my buddy. | ||
I'll shill for my guy. | ||
It's a great, it is a great article. | ||
So check it out. | ||
Thanks for the big super chat. | ||
75 bucks, huh? | ||
That's all you can spare. | ||
Must not have been a really big bet. | ||
Or maybe you're just being stingy. | ||
I don't know. | ||

You know, but Keith Woods is like a gambling addict, so who knows, but... Thanks for the super chat, buddy! | ||
I appreciate it. | ||
Yeah, you're welcome. | ||
I'm a real team player, making everybody richer, you know? | ||
That's... I'm a good guy like that. | ||
So I appreciate it. | ||
And you're welcome too. | ||
- You're welcome too. - It's easy to quietly assassinate people. | ||
What makes me so angry is that they chose the rally to make us witness our symbol of hope and greatness. | ||
- Whoops. - Most ignominious, humiliating manner. | ||
That's how much they hate us. | ||

That's true. | |
Sure. | ||
Bricklayer, $6,969.25. | ||
I'm a leftist woman watching you for the first time out of curiosity on everyone's opinions about what happened to Trump this weekend. | ||
Very interesting witnessing how our views on Israeli influence in the U.S. overlap on both sides. | ||
Can assure you we agree with that sentiment on the far left. | ||
And I agree it's at play here. | ||
I know you do. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
And that's why I've been very criticized by the right, because I call it out, because the GOP is absolutely captured by the Israelis. | ||
And it's not hard to see how I I mean, Thomas Massey talked about it. | ||
AIPAC has a representative in everybody's district. | ||
And of course, AIPAC was formed out of the Jewish Agency back in the 60s. | ||
Because it was determined that probably they would be registered as a foreign agent because it was an organization receiving money from Israel but also putting money in politics. | ||
That's when they splintered and they segregated the activities into AIPAC. | ||
But no doubt AIPAC is still receiving support from the Israeli government. | ||
So you have AIPAC, you've got the Republican Jewish Coalition, you've got Miriam Adelson. | ||
The Adelsons have been the biggest individual donors in every cycle since like 2012, ever since Citizens United in 2010. | ||
And they opened up the floodgate for all this money. | ||
And the Adelsons are gangsters! | ||
They're casino magnates! | ||
They make their money in Macau and Vegas! | ||
So these are dual loyalists. | ||
They're really not even dual. | ||
They're just loyal to Israel. | ||
They make their money in gambling. | ||
They're gangsters. | ||
And then they pump their gambling profits to control the media. | ||
They open up newspapers and publications. | ||
And they dump their money to the Republican Party, and this is why it's such a big part of the GOP platform. | ||
That's why when Netanyahu comes, they give 33 standing ovations, and they're gonna beat that record on July 24th when Netanyahu comes back to Congress. | ||
So, of course, and David Sachs is a part of it. | ||
What's going on in South Africa? | ||
Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and David Sachs, all PayPal mafia, Silicon Valley guys, Founders Fund, Palantir guys, Palantir's a contractor for the CIA, the Pentagon, NSA. | ||
Palantir's providing their AI facial recognition services to the GOP, and they're also providing it for Israel in their war in Gaza. | ||
And Palantir flew their board, their Jewish CEO, Alex Karp, flew their board out to Israel after October the 7th. | ||
And after October the 7th, that's when David Sachs and all these Silicon Valley guys flipped their support behind Trump. | ||
But they initially supported DeSantis, who's a close ally of the Adelsons, who encouraged Trump to move the embassy. | ||
And another thing. | ||
The Israelis were like this with the South African government. | ||
They were like this. | ||
Why did they all come from South Africa? | ||
Thiel, Musk, Sachs, Joel Pollack at Breitbart. | ||
They're all, they're all, well, Joel Pollack and Sachs are Jews. | ||
The others are Gentiles. | ||
They come from South Africa. | ||
And South Africa had a deep relationship with the state of Israel, because the state of Israel was a pariah state like the apartheid regime, and the Israeli government was willing to supply them with weapons, and they were their biggest arms trafficker, and Israel was able to buy out news companies and buy out media and try to give the South African apartheid regime a better public image, because the Israelis specialize in that. | ||
And what did they do? | ||
What did Arnon Milchan do? | ||
He went out and used his vast network of companies, of logistics companies and shipping companies and shell companies, to hide arms smuggling and smuggling nuclear material that's used in triggers to Israel for nuclear material, the yellow cake that was used in their nuclear reactors. | ||
And used that to buy newspapers and used it to turn Hollywood celebrities into spies. | ||
Groomed them to be public relations for Israel. | ||
Like Robert De Niro. | ||
And they produced some of the biggest films. | ||
Used his fortune to buy media companies. | ||
This is how it works. | ||
So Israel, the Israeli regime, and the South African regime were like this. | ||
Now all these Jewish South Africans come here and found these Silicon Valley companies. | ||
Like PayPal, they're doing payments. | ||
They founded all the most valuable tech companies like Tesla, and like LinkedIn, and like PayPal, and Facebook. | ||
And now they're running the Trump administration. | ||
And now they want to bomb Iran. | ||
Okay, so this is all factual. | ||
You're not going to hear this from Charlie Kirk. | ||
You're not going to hear this from Steve Bannon. | ||
Ask Steve Bannon about this. | ||
You think he'll talk about it? | ||
Let's take a bet. | ||
He'll talk about the tricoms. | ||
you won't talk about this. | ||

So, yeah, it's all there. | ||
Anyway. | ||
And I'm not... Look, I'm not a crazy guy. | ||
I just do my homework. | ||
I'm not a hater. | ||
I'm not a nutjob. | ||
I love all people. | ||
I have a wild sense of humor because I'm a genius, but I just do my homework and I just go where other people don't because I'm independent. | ||
So I appreciate the leftists are willing to tune in and listen. | ||
Yeah, everybody says that. | ||
I know a lot of people that started watching me since I came back to Twitter. | ||
They say, wow, this is nothing like what I thought it was. | ||
Hello. | ||
It's because the ADL lies about me. | ||
The ADL got busted. | ||
There was a big bust. | ||
They got investigated by the FBI in 93 because they were spying on Americans. | ||
The ADL had plants in the FBI and in the San Francisco Police Department. | ||
I think it was in 93. | ||
You can look this up. | ||
The ADL is operating as a foreign spying operation and they have a hotline to every social media company and they're the ones creating the cancel culture because they write all these reports about people. | ||
They're, you know, like Nathan Perlmutter and Abe Foxman and now the current guy. | ||
Jonathan Greenblatt. | ||
It's mafia-like tactics. | ||
And their intelligence, and they work with the state of Israel. | ||
So, like, and those are the ones telling everybody that I'm, uh, I praised Hitler, and I'm a Holocaust denier, and a Nazi, and a white supremacist. | ||
Because I bring the real information. | ||
So I appreciate you listening. | ||

No offense to Candace, but I feel like you're the unofficial leader of the right wing. | ||
You had 30,000 people watching your coverage of the attempted Trump assassination. | ||
And I'm sure many people in right wing politics were watching to see what your take on it was. | ||
AF and NJF are the future of right wing politics. - That's totally true. - Papal State of Palestine sent $20. | ||
The shooter was on a Facebook page of a synagogue with a Yarmouk. - No, that's fake. | ||
That's fake. | ||
That was from a synagogue in Butler, but he was from Bethel Hill. | ||
So I saw that. | ||
That's not him. | ||
Butler, Pennsylvania is two hours away from Bethel Hill. | ||
Bethel Hill is on the Outermost southern edge of Pittsburgh. | ||
Butler, where the rally was held and where that video comes from, if it's the one I'm thinking of, the one you're talking about is the one I'm thinking of. | ||
unidentified
|
That's an hour north of Pittsburgh. | |
And he lived in Bethel Hill. | ||
He lived in Bethel Hill. | ||
He worked at a retirement home or an elderly care facility within walking distance of his home. | ||
Graduated Bethel Hill High School. | ||
Went to Bethel Community College. | ||
So, no, I don't believe he was at a synagogue in Butler, if we're talking about the same video. | ||
