- well good evening everyone and welcome to an evening an historic night Donald
- Trump is the first convicted felon ever to accept a major party's nomination the
- first public official former official who had been impeached twice to accept a
- major party nomination uh the former the first uh Heather the first official who
- attempted a coup on the United States government a lot of Firsts uh to uh
- accept a major party's nomination uh in any EV it uh 3 weeks ago Heather loft house and I were with you
- at the debate many people thought you like that you liked the comfort of having some company uh in that what
- turned out to be a fairly painful evening uh and you asked us to do it
- again well this may be an equally painful if not more painful evening uh
- but we thought it was an opportunity also to take a look uh with all of us uh
- at Donald Trump uh what he represents what this convention has actually been
- and thank you so much Heather loft house here we are for Jo for joining well I'm
- glad to be here with you and everyone else who finds I don't know like you said Comfort watching it together but
- here we are Republican National Convention 2024 what has struck you what themes or
- what what what notables do you have for us well a number of uh you know just watching uh the Reverend Franklin Graham
- 2:04
- just now um I remember his father Billy Graham uh but Billy Graham became more
- and more of an Evangelical he was a very close friend of Richard Nixon's uh and uh Billy Graham actually
- left the political stage uh and left it to essentially his son Franklin Graham
- uh Franklin Graham is an Evangelical uh and what strikes me is that there have been a lot of religious overtones and
- undertones to this convention uh beginning with almost the spiritual
- notion that Donald Trump was saved from uh the assassination attempt oh yeah
- I've I would be willing to bet that God has been said more also the people who
- are playing music have played for churches it felt very much like a an Evangelical experience at the beginning
- I think the music that he walked on with that first night and by the way the fact that he's been there every night you
- 3:06
- know well it's been he has been there every night and um this is really a way
- of getting attention because a lot of people want to see him Y and there's
- nothing else that goes on at this convention at most conventions nothing else happens uh but given the proximity
- in time to the assassination and given the extraordinary sense uh that some people
- have particularly Republicans that he is a martyr somehow uh that God he was saved that he was saved uh and he was
- saved for this purpose uh this convention has made the most of that it without actually well they've they've
- said it over and over again yeah they really have every all the different people who are speaking right entertainers politicians new politicians
- old politicians media personalities it's wild I mean I feel like the whole
- convention has been camera on speaker camera on Trump taking in speaker camera
- 4:03
- on speaker camera on Trump I mean just back and forth and then some crowd shots of people with hats and lanyards and
- cowbells and then a little JD Vance and little JD Vance beard I know I'll tell you the other
- thing speaking of JD Vance that has struck me is there is a quality of
- misogynist in this in this convention misogyny uh you know not only do we have
- a president uh a former president who appointed a supreme court that got
- rid of roie Wade uh and is very proud of it but also we have JD Vance who has
- said he is against abortion for of under any circumstances even for rape or
- incest uh and uh it's interesting to me we didn't we haven't heard at this
- convention very much about abortion but certainly it's a macho convention we see
- over and over again I mean uh you know uh the Hulk right there I mean talking
- 5:03
- about men and talking about Macho themes brother and brother uh this is this is
- not a convention that is designed particularly for attracting women you don't or including women it's really not
- it's been fascinating who who they've chosen to have speak and yeah the tones
- I mean it's been incredible but this is your point when we met before and talked about this um this is not a policy event
- this is not let's pick the top the people who really nailed it in my Administration and bring them back and
- it'll be a mix of men and women and we'll talk about policy I mean he doesn't want to talk about his
- administration uh in fact he's he's called a former president but actually
- there is a kind of Indulgence in Collective Amnesia about what happened there's no mention obviously of January
- 6th y of people who were involved in January 6th uh now it is true that at
- least one person involved indirectly in January 6 who said he would not testify
- 6:04
- and was jailed for it came into the convention and got a huge Ovation so the
- undercurrent is there but no mention of what happened on January 6 no and even
- Hulk Hogan tonight when he spoke he said the last four years and then this past weekend it's like they're resetting the
- clock it's a it's it's a fascinating Indulgence um you know no mention of the
- fact that uh that Donald Trump tried to overturn the election results uh no
- mention of the fact that Donald Trump uh you know put up false slates of electors uh that he encouraged people to come to
- Washington for that Riot uh that he refused and still refuses to accept the 2020 election results uh that he that
- all of the people all of the JD Vance one of them who said who would not
- accept the 2020 election results on the basis of no information on the basis of
- no evidence that there was anything wrong with that election and anything in futur looking is just imag it's making
- 7:07
- America great I mean it's at this level there is no project 2025 what I'd actually be doing for the working people
- there's no there there yeah uh I mean I I think that this is uh the sort of the extreme exercise in conventions that are
- just not even in info infotainment uh they are just infomercial MH uh but
- there is nothing there's no there there right uh Eric Trump who's now speaking
- uh Eric Trump is is one of these people who has you know he has said that any
- woman who is worries about harassment sexual harassment is just not living in
- the real world she ought to be I think that was Don junr a a kindergarten teacher yeah I think that was Don junor
- well Don junor said something pick your Trump yeah uh yeah no it's horrendous
- and I think you're so right about the mass one other thing that you I think you
- 8:02
- just touched on is this I think there's a lot of hypocrisy so we're not talking about January 6 when people like Nikki
- Haley who spoke the other day said this man cannot run the country full stop around January 6 was it mentioned T
- nights ago no it is as though the past doesn't exist well JD Vance himself was
- extremely anti- Trump initially uh and in fact Peter teal uh the financier the
- uh you know who who put money into the campaign in in Ohio that got him elected
- JD Vance uh took Vance to meet Trump to
- apologize to make sure that Trump understood that Vance had had a change of heart change of view but tell me how
- do these people I'm interested in what you think about how these people justify to
- themselves Heather they hypocrisy oh I know I mean what is it
- 9:03
- what is it that they say to I mean Nikki Haley uh and JD Vance for example when
- they have been so critical of trump in the past I know do they say well this is the the means justify the ends or the
- ends justify the means or I if I get back in politics or I'm in politics I have power I can do good things well so
- do they have a conscience I mean do you think actually when they're falling asleep at night they say oh God feels
- had to do it I mean is there a reg are they registering or when they're brushing their teeth when they're
- looking in the mirror are they saying de diary or dear diary you know I feel awful about myself so either they're so
- cynical right that's one option or this is how politics works today and I just
- I've got to get the paycheck I've got to be famous I've got to do the thing this is and I'm just going to do it or I like
- ends justify the means perhaps they think with all this power that I will
- get from doing this and saluting then I will be able to do good things down the line I mean that would be best case but
- 10:03
- I don't know if that's the but they are participating in a hoax that is
- undermining our democracy and they are going back on what they said they are going back on a truth and living in an
- alternate reality while applauding him and smiling and staring into a camera
- and this entire convention is a plug for this alternative reality it's not in
- other words the Press plays it up as if this is well this is the Republican vention and there will be a democratic
- convention and both parties do this and this is part of the political system but
- it's not any longer I mean after January 6th after Trump's rejection of the 2020
- election after the big lie after everything that Trump has done this this
- cannot this coronation of trump is not just an ordinary convention uh this is
- something that is extraordinary uh and under in a very fundamental way the entire
- 11:03
- American political system it's disgusting now follow the money is something you've said over the years yes
- I have a qu I mean how much is this thing costing first of all because I mean I can only imagine and then also
- it's been interesting to listen to different people talk about money right I know you were saying that Wall Street
- was mentioned twice by JD Vance yes JD Vance interestingly uh he said that wall
- he's not from Wall Street he doesn't we are not we are not any longer of Wall Street we being the Republican Party
- presumably uh we are for working people working man working man clear working
- man not working women U but what he didn't say is that he got his start uh
- in finance with Peter teal in San Francisco in Venture Capital uh that his
- big support has come from Elon Musk Elon Musk is sing got talk about that by the
- 12:01
- way $45 million a month into Trump's campaign Elon Musk 45 million I mean if
- there was ever a poster child for why we have got to tax billionaires mean why we
- can't let people become billionaires and have monopolies like Elon Musk has uh
- it's it's this money and politics it's the it's the purchasing of politics uh and Elon Musk was one of the people who
- went to Trump and said you have got to make JD Vance your vice president now
- why is that they're all from the same PayPal Mafia uh they go back years JD
- Vance worked for the same people yeah H but so he's
- making a distinction then right Wall Street is different than new newvo well Wall Street he says I mean it's it's a
- distinction without a difference right because I mean venture capital is not literally Wall Street venture capital in
- San Francisco is more Silicon Valley than it is Wall Street but these are billionaires and they are people who are
- 13:06
- polluting our political system and they're people who uh many of them are
- doing good things but many of them are doing terrible things yep it's so much money we've tried to visualize it in
- different ways for people but it's difficult to show how much money a billion dollars is because you can't even fathom it well at a time in
- American history when the typical worker earns a typical working family earns
- $75,000 a year uh and has not in adjusted for inflation has not earned that much more
- than that typical working family earned 40 years ago so much of the economy so
- much of the gains that have not gone to working people have gone to the top they've gone to venture capital they've
- gone to Silicon Valley they've gone to Wall Street CEOs and CEO pay and uh and
- to private Equity uh and this is the reality that so many people intuitively
- 14:04
- understand this is why they're so angry at the system Heather but the Democrats instead of becoming economic populists
- and saying look we can't have this any longer this is wrong this is ruining our
- democracy uh the Democrats are drinking at the same trough as the Republicans in terms of campaign finance and they've
- usurped the message this week in a compelling way I mean well look at the
- the the head of the teamsters is is the leadoff speech at the Republican National Convention I just want a time
- check so it's 7 o'clock yes so you and I are getting ready to do commentary and factchecking I'm getting ready I'm ready
- as I'm going to be but my expectations are fairly low I mean I think a Donald
- Trump's speech is let's face it a Donald Trump speech now he's going to be reading from a monitor there's a
- difference between a Donald Trump speech when he reads from Monitor and when he doesn't but the big question in my mind
- 15:00
- is how much red meat is going to be in that monitor speech or is he going to
- try to tone it down or is he going to try and tone it down and not actually do
- that I mean it may be his his intention and his AIDS have told him to do that including to stay in line with this you
- know recovering from a horrific assassination attempt well I think listen very very carefully because this
- is given that it's the it's a monitor he's reading from the monitor given that
- somebody has obviously written it now Trump may have looked it over but one of
- his AIDS or a group of his AIDS have written it there is some strategy in mind oh for sure so what is that
- strategy going to be uh I think it is going to be to deliver a strong anti-
- Democratic Big D uh anti-biden anti Harris and I think we're going to hear a
- 16:01
- lot of anti-h Harris because uh they are worried that maybe Biden is not going to
- stay in the race very much longer it's going to be it's going to be KLA Harris uh and there were going to there're going to be a lot of references to
- they listen for how many times you hear the pronoun they yes undifferentiated
- UNP specified but an horrible they who are trying to do what trying to
- undermine the working class trying to ruin America trying to do this or that
- uh and sometimes it'll apply to immigrants I'm sure in his sentences right but the what when they use they
- yes they're talking about immigrants but they're also talking about the Deep state they're talking about Coastal
- Elites and Democrats and then they'll do the working class play and the populism play and so it'll be perhaps there may
- be a dog whistle or two uh in terms of black Americans they want to court black
- Americans so there's not going to be very much but listen for those as well uh those are very carefully thought out
- 17:06
- in advance um anything else you are going to be listening for well I think
- it's so interesting to think about his lies right so I was going back and forth with this um psychiatrist who was saying
- from the on an email who emailed us you're psychiatrist share not yours I
- know no but somebody he teaches at a medical school but we were talking about where he was saying the differ between
- lies and untruths and how a child who's 3 years old
- developmentally doesn't mean to lie because lying means I know that outside of my brain is someone else with a brain
- and I'm going to try and deceive you you have to have a certain minimum degree of empathy yes to and self-awareness to be
- to be upset about a lie and so I'm going to be looking for what I think are untruths because I think what Trump does
- is he is the three-year-old when you say you can't have a cookie we're about to have dinner and then you come back and they have cookie all over their face and
- 18:02
- you say did you eat the cookie and they say I didn't eat the cookie and that's because at three you're true you're saying what you believe is true and then
- when you say it it is true for you now now Heather that was true the debate yes that's unscripted uh when when Trump is
- unscripted he just does nothing but kind of bloviate lies that's it but here
- tonight we're going to get a scripted version well I think it'll be similar
- well the the that's the interesting question what is the difference and does it make any difference that there was an
- assassination attempt that'll be it'll be now he was going he's going to talk about that obviously right and but it's
- is it going to modulate uh what would otherwise be some fairly uh awful
- accusations about them out there I would think that if he has been coached it
- should he should do that should do quote unquote he should modulate modulate well modulate for
- 19:01
- Donald Trump to modulate it'll be interesting to see what that actually means JD Vance was told to modulate he
- was told to play Down um the fact that he doesn't like Trump play that down but also there was
- a there was a kind of a sense with JD Vance that um there there ought to be um you know
- very very little that uh that gets people uh upset or the very very little
- red meat thrown at the crowd and I think JD Vance um was then accused by some
- Republicans of being boring did you see that some of the reviews well uh and kind of traditional
- and kind of traditional boring and traditional um but that's why Trump picked him I mean you can't have someone
- rival him no that's right that's right and he knows to play his role I think he that he's got to be uh kind of Mike
- 20:00
- Pence type he's got to be very very uh kind of respectful and Fade Into the
- woodwork when he needs to fade into the W woodwork but at the same time he's young enough he's 39 years old I know he
- has a political future he knows he has a political future he is the presumptive Republican candidate in
- 20128 I mean he has been in politics for basically just over a year right he was
- elected in 2022 but he didn't start serving I don't think until 2023 I mean January of 2023 feels like a minute ago
- it was less than a minute ago I mean he has no real experience uh what has he done he has
- written a bestselling uh what Memoir which was optioned by Hollywood it was optioned by
- Hollywood now that gives him some what Ronald Reagan Credence I mean honestly though I think it's like well you know
- what's I mean Donald Trump was a businessman I'm a business guy I mean
- it's obscene well I I I think that in many ways Donald Trump wanted a young
- 21:06
- person you see the the and this is something I'm going to look for and and
- listen for in his speech because if he can frame the issue in the Public's mind
- as strength versus weakness and that's something that Trump always tries to do
- I am strong my opponent is weak uh and given that Joe Biden had a I mean let's face it I mean he
- appeared three weeks ago tonight as extraordinarily weak at the debate at
- the debate and Joe Biden now has covid and you know here we have um a a
- president who looks in Acts 81 or older versus what Trump but also Vance A 39y
- old two men uh and again the notion is strength yep and the other thing so
- 22:01
- we've talked about there's been a lot of mention of God there's been a lot of mention of maleness in various forms
- right he came out to what song was it it's a man's world did you see that it's a that's right I mean come on but now
- there's a lot about family too which also feels religious and I think JD
- Vance said family and Grandpa I mean they don't really say grandpa too much because I don't think he loves that
- concept but remember it's a family that is very traditional with the male is the
- dominant figure in that family um and one thing that Vance has talked about in
- the past uh is that the new economy has
- disempowered uh men it you know a lot of men who used to have factory jobs used
- to bring the major Breadwinners they now have to be in the service sector and
- they are effectively uh kind of taking jobs that women used to have and women
- are taking jobs that women have always had and in fact the old concept of the family that had a single bread winner
- 23:06
- has been replaced by a family with two Breadwinners and a lot of conservatives
- and a lot of traditionalists oh yeah like JD vents hate this uh this is the and they're very worried for the male I
- know archetype yes yes this is so I but there is some reality to this right this is psychology this is how someone feels
- in on the home front whether you feel inse cure because you can't bring enough money in so I accept that but I mean
- they are taking it way too far well this is one of the also the major
- features of Neo fascism yes it is the male hierarchy uh in which the male
- warrior and it is a male warrior uh takes precedence and is prominent and is
- uh is is the most important person in a family and the most important people in a community
- uh and we see the cave in the cave with the Tigers and the president and we have Trump and we have Vance the most
- 24:05
- important male members in the tribe and it is tribal it is a cult and it is
- people are under a spell I mean it's kind of wild to watch these crowd shots
- and these people just you know mouths a gape and cheering and they seem kind of
- taken to a different place well it is also uh consistent with white Christian
- nationalism uh you know the evangelicals uh the the numerous
- mentions of God uh the notion that uh Trump has been saved for this role uh
- and uh the uh the the the the undercurrent of racism uh and certainly
- nationalism uh the other point that I was thinking about with both Vance and
- Trump uh in terms of and again there are no policies here but to the extent that there are any policy even even sense of
- 25:07
- policy uh it's policy that has to do with isolationism uh it's uh tariffs that
- will keep out foreign Goods y uh it is U walls that will keep out foreign workers
- have you seen the signs Mass deportation now I mean throughout the arena well um
- that's another thing we're going to hear I think tonight uh about immigrants uh there's also been there's
- been quite a lot of discussion about immigrants but when we talk about them the other there's
- Melania this is her first appearance wearing red shocker well I'm shocked well I mean the
- traditional family she's making a late appearance interesting might at home a migrant also from Slovenia
- mhm know well I I think that the contradictions and
- 26:01
- hypocrisies um people want not to see them if they are trumpers if they are
- Republicans uh and if they are kind of being sucked into this Fox News Vortex
- um you know a lot of people don't like ambiguity they don't like the responsibility they don't don't like the
- anxieties of Modern Life and if they can have a strong man I mean that's the
- whole that was musolini that was Hitler that was uh Frank the idea of a strong man who will take
- from you all the responsibilities and all the anxieties you just give of yourself you give up your own valtion
- you give up your agency and you let the strong man take over right but I think there's also the triangle right so it's
- the strong man but then the other so the they is back to your point about this pronoun of just so it feels safer and
- better to not live in the nuance and complexity and the torture of your own reality and your own anxieties if you
- can say so it's not me I don't have much control over it's that over there you kind of park it over there and you have
- 27:05
- this momentary I think relaxation I consciously or unconsciously I think
- that's part of this is this Tri Abol absolutely you're projecting a a lot of your anxieties onto this other quote
- unquote and the strong man uh says to you in effect don't worry I'll take care
- of the other yeah and we heard Hulk Hogan say they tried to get him on
- Saturday they trying to get him yeah and that again is something I think when we
- do hear Donald Trump speak tonight the they let's keep track of who the they
- are yes how does he Define they right because that's you're absolutely right
- uh the under current the under the under uh structure of this speech is
- probably going to be very much about I am strong enough and now we have the Next Generation with regard to JD Vance
- 28:05
- we are strong enough to take on them uh the enemies of America the enemies of uh
- of you all of of average working people yeah it's their fault over there not
- yours and I'm going to save you I mean it's that it can be reduced that much right
- exactly okay well here we go we've got away so we saw Melania which was interesting she hasn't been um but a lot
- of the other family I don't know if Ivanka was there I saw Ivanka was there
- okay no I oh yeah that's right I almost got the wrong parent um so I think so
- here's what we'll do let's as soon as it starts I think what we can do is we can
- press pause um and just quickly when there's an egregious something where we want to
- comment just thinking back to how people processed our debate night so we'll do a quick pause and we'll say something and
- 29:01
- then we'll keep going but very quick but so we will do that and then I think
- afterwards we will have some concluding analysis uh yes I just wanted to point
- out this video was provided by the Republican National Committee this is the video that introduces Donald Trump
- this is called free advertising uh and it uh it is part it has become part of
- every convention uh but here they are lionizing Donald Trump they are making
- him Larger than Life uh they are making him into somebody who is Invincible uh
- and they are also by implication and sometimes directly uh talking about
- Biden as being weak yep and I think they pick screenshots of him you know when he's mid sentence and then they say
- there he is but so this is free airtime but the whole the the premise is that
- it's for both parties get it so and you it's your choice to use it as you wish basically that's what's happened I mean
- 30:06
- remember the conventions no longer have any kind of a function I know a real
- other than simply an infer there's no decision point I mean we kind of nothing there's nothing there there I mean you
- hear you got the VP reveal but it was at the only news item well it'll be
- interesting to see Heather if the Democrats actually decide to have an open convention or if there is any kind
- of movement by any other potential Democratic candidates if Joe Biden
- decides not to run uh and the pressure is obviously building on is I know um I
- and more will be revealed in the coming days will be revealed I had a a sense today if Biden really wanted to step on
- Donald Trump's speech and his uh coronation uh this would be a great day
- to do it it would have say well I'm you know I have covid and I I my doctors do
- 31:03
- your press event in a mask you do your press event in a mask or now you do hard to be able to to pass the Baton in a I
- know we'll have to see what he decides right also this notion that the other theme is
- fighting uh keep fighting now the irony is they don't they don't want the the United States uh to be fighting or to be
- even in a proxy war in Ukraine they don't want the United States to have a
- robust foreign policy they don't want to support NATO uh but this notion of keep fighting who are they fighting they are
- fighting the them they are fighting the they they are fighting these forces the
- Enemy Within and that's what Trump has talked about over and over again the enemy within within the United States uh
- you are either with Trump or you are an enemy Within right that's what we are
- fighting fight fight fight now so many pollsters and pundits and all of us are
- 32:02
- talking about swing States who these undecided voters these persuadable
- voters people who voted for Biden before and are now saying I'm not sure who I'm
- going to vote for or I'm leading third party or you know what I might just pick Trump or I really don't know yet or I'm
- going to leave The Talk at the top of the ticket blank is anyone like that actually watching the RNC uh yes
- undoubtedly there are some and changing their minds and there are some who are changing their minds there are some who
- are wavering uh part of the reason for this uh event this infomercial is to
- attract those wavering voters uh some Independents some people who had voted
- for Biden uh Last Time Around in 2020 but now are not sure uh they watch this
- a few of them you don't need that many because remember uh if you had it's something in the order of 45,000 people
- 33:00
- in the swing States really went for Biden had they gone for Trump the entire
- 2020 election would have been different yep uh and it's not that different in
- 2016 uh there are fewer and fewer people because of the electoral college now
- there's no question Heather that uh Biden won the popular vote by even more than Hillary Clinton won it uh but the
- Electoral College makes the entire Democratic process
- very different and makes these swing States hugely important important but I wonder I mean it's funny to think about
- oh God here goes Kid Rock um it's funny to think about you know an undecided
- person coming or you know someone who's in between things and watching this and
- there's no policy so it almost feels like you want to be part of the click or what is it that is it the the you know
- he's so viral compared to it's partly that you but leaving with I want to be part I want to
- 34:00
- be I want to I want it's the identity politics I want to be part of this movement yeah uh I want to wear the red
- hat and have the paraphenalia and I want to be uh part of this uh this this
- strong right group and also religion relig religio relig to bind yes right
- the Latin absolutely I mean all of that makes sense it's like come join this religio to bind yeah I maybe I think
- it's religio religio probably uh but yes so you combine that with a hats with the
- um the rock stars uh and the Maga um you know all all of this the
- influencers and the uh the the cult I mean this is where the notion of the cult comes in make America great once
- again uh is is a meaningless term uh it it goes back to what when were we great
- uh are we denying all of our embarrassing history are we denying the
- 35:03
- Vietnam War are we denying uh what we did to Native Americans are we denying what we did to black people we denying
- slavery I mean where where are we going terms of making America great again when
- exactly I think they're denying all of that right I mean obviously it's like the ultimate dog whistle is that
- horrific well this see I think that's the membership that's the attraction uh
- being part of a club or a a a religious like group that believes in this past U
- fiction this this notion that we were once we were once great as opposed to them and we can be great again and they
- are trying to destroy us and have tried to destroy the greatness of America so
- that's one level and then I do think obviously a lot of people are thinking you know what my pocket book's been
- hurting and I actually really feel that he would be better for me because I have amnesia or because you know I'm not
- 36:04
- paying attention to the data or because the mass media is not showing it in a way they should well the the media um
- the mainstream media I think have all along the way have failed failed number
- one to remind people of what the Trump Administration was like people again
- there's a kind of a a fog that sets in and I'm guilty of it everybody is we we
- we all tend to view the past through Rose Colored Glasses we tend to forget
- how bad things were uh we don't we're built to do that otherwise we would be you know very depressed if we thought
- about it's like when you have a baby and you say never again and then you're like maybe just one more time I mean
- actually but yes yes and and it's it's also true with regard to um the media's
- failure to talk about the Trump presidency again with regard to the big
- 37:00
- lie uh and the attack on the capital right uh and his attack on the Judiciary
- um you know all of things that would in any other democratic system probably
- disqualify somebody from running for president I have friends abroad who say I can't believe this man uh who is an
- indicted or not indicted he was convicted a convicted criminal uh who orchestrated an attempted coup is is
- you're allowing him to run again I know allowing encouraging um so I mean it's so
- interesting so I think up next is the head of the UFC because when and doubt let's not have more politicians up there
- let's have more CE Bros yeah CE Bros um but I was going to say I feel naive
- sometimes I feel naive and I should have a sign that says naive I think that just this is one of my moments I thought that
- the more Republicans would not fall in line around Trump this time
- 38:06
- around I really did I really did I mean I see Liz Cheney on Twitter I think is
- she the only one at this point I mean it's wild there there's also Mitt Romney there are others they've all been purged
- every single one of them has been purged from the Republican Party um here we
- have uh the Ultimate Fighting Championship president now what do you mean misogyny I don't know what you're
- talk what do you mean manliness Macho I mean this is this is ma this is another
- Ultimate Fighting Championship I know I mean but so you remember that so when um
- Trump first got on Twitter the first I mean excuse me Tik Tok the first video that blew up was him at a UFC fight and
- everyone kind of chanting and lights and and that's it's this again it's this
- same kind of they did that on purpose you know what I'm hoping video uh and and maybe this is naive talk about naive
- 39:02
- I'm hoping that the women of America overwhelmingly overwhelmingly vote
- against Donald Trump I'm hoping too uh not only on abortion but on the entire
- uh notion of hierarchy and male dominance and fighting and uh everything
- that Trump represents you know Trump was found by a court to have raped a woman
- Trump talks about uh you know his his exploits in terms of grabbing so
- disparaging I know I mean this is this is this is a this is a man who has
- no respect for women at all and never has yeah um and uh and maybe the women
- of America have had enough I mean I think many of them have but we'll have to see did I just say men
- many of them have no I mean we'll have to really truly we'll have to see I don't I mean I think you're right that a
- lot of women and including on abortion alone will say this doesn't work for me
- 40:04
- I think it's just fascinating that they put up the last speaker before Donald Trump
- is the Ultimate Fighting Championship president Dana White I mean what in the world is going on what are they trying
- to communicate here it's pretty obvious there's no substance there's no substance and also the blind worship of
- trump you know it's just I'm going to go up and I'm going to say he's incredible in America and he's a businessman it's I
- mean I think they must get all the talking points right but it's also the blind warship of strength of dominance
- of domineering of of people who can uh subjugate others I mean remember this is
- working on many many subconscious levels uh and what they're doing is putting on
- these these wrestlers and these Fighting Championships we're getting so psychological tonight well but this is
- wasn't prepared this is this is Heather this is what this is all about uh been watching
- 41:04
- it this is what advertising is about we're working on the subconscious and The Reptilian Brain I know and getting
- in there but it's so it's wild to be watching this it's wild okay so can you
- can can I bother you to tell me when you went to conventions I went to the let's see the
- first one I went to was the 198 8 democratic convention in Atlanta Georgia
- who's there dakus that was dakus and uh then the next one was
- 19 uh 96 okay uh and that was the convention
- that nominated Bill Clinton again uh and then the third one are you interested in
- this you you look like your eyes are glazing over why did I ask this question I don't know why
- so who no but you've told me this so at at the 88 um convention didn't you see who was
- 42:05
- it Jesse Jackson that was 96 oh that was 96 what's that story that's a goodie
- that was when uh I was just about to address uh a state delegation Jesse
- Jackson had finished addressing them and he came and they were all cheering this
- is remember this is a democratic convention and uh Jackson was coming down off the stage I
- was coming up we passed on the stairway and he said to me he whispered to me he
- said Dick Morris is toast oh right and I said well why is Dick Morris toast he
- said he's been sucking toes oh I said what what and then I he just left and I
- didn't have time to find out so I I had to address this delegation off of the dick moris sucking
- toes in my head I mean but so politicians have always been dirt bags this is shocking um well let's put
- 43:02
- it this way I think to become a national politician to run for the president
- presidency or to be close to a politician in terms of a dick Mars advisory role um if you're a man
- especially uh not exclusively but I think especially if you're a man uh it brings out uh some
- aspects of uh sort of of narcissism a kind of a male dominant
- narcissism uh now Trump is coming on speaking of speaking of male dominant
- narcissism yeah also the UFC CEO is a big Union Buster
- yes and that's important to note um that um the um UFC fighters don't get healthc
- care he uh or any other benefits I mean the again but they but they love the
- 44:01
- Working Man I thought we already established that about six speeches ago I know so and this is this is the this
- is the gap discrepancy the gap between the reality and uh the truth they're
- being I'm being sassy here but I don't know what else to do so um it's hard to take all of this but I'm glad to be here
- with you have I said that I stand by it well I really I'm glad to be here with you too I'm I'm glad to be here with all
- of you we are glad to be here with all of you uh and the reason we are here with all of you you not there in
- Milwaukee but with you is because we feel that it's important for all of us
- to hang together and to have some mutual support uh and to uh feel that we're not
- alone that the the country's not gone crazy uh that actually there most of us
- I think are Tethered to reality tether to reality and some values that make
- sense I Know It uh you know that that social justice that equality that equal
- 45:00
- opportunity uh are are values that we believe in uh that uh the notion that
- this country really is made up of people who care about the common good uh is
- something that I believe uh and oh even though here we go
- look at this now again the imagy he is a showman oh yeah uh this is all organized
- around his imagery look at the lights I mean it really
- is I mean it's a marquee it's the you know
- Thea now is he going to begin it looks like he's going to begin speaking I think he's just taking it
- in I think he's taking it in and he's allowing his he's allowing his music and
- his crowd and his worshippers well unless he's having a
- a time what's called a Biden moment you know he's very old he's 78 years old I
- 46:03
- mean somebody who's 78 years old cannot function terribly well says the 70 the
- 78y old here we go Podium up is that the White House behind him that's the White
- House wow what is this a prop fireman I can't tell what
- that is huh the stage now it's all it's all
- staged and this is all you know the crowd is going wild do you see those photographers on the stage are they
- actually taking photos are they making him feel like they're taking photos they're making them feel like they're taking phot I I think what they are
- doing is not only if it's possible oh that's horrible that I guess
- that is the I see what they're doing I think that is the um firemen who died on
- Saturday as part of the assassination attempt is that what that is supposed to be I don't
- know well it's hard to tell but it is an elaborate Set uh that they've just
- 47:03
- revealed it's like a stage show it really is where the uh the the major actor comes out goes down again the cost
- of this I can only imagine it'll be interesting when we watch the DNC together and compare and
- contrast okay get ready everybody [Applause]

- nomination for president of the United States thank you Trump has promised to
- bring back this Muslim B right but all religions but so it's not exactly all
- all religions here we go with the
- lies but this is much more of a a message of unity oh yeah than he has
- ever given before call a lot of thanking lot of [Music]
- [Applause]
- gratitude this is where it becomes thank you very much cult and we will do it
- 50:01
- right going to do it right I know what that means let me begin this evening by
- expressing my gratitude to the American people for your outpouring of love and
- support following the assassination attempt at my rally on
- [Music]
- Saturday as you already know the assassins bullet came within a quar of
- an inch of taking my life so many people have asked me what
- happened tell us what happened please and therefore I will tell you exactly
- what happened and you'll never hear it from me a second time because it's actually too painful to
- tell it was a warm beautiful day in the early evening in Butler Township in the
- great Commonwealth of [Music]
- 51:03
- Pennsylvania music was loudly playing and the campaign was doing really well I
- went to the stage and the crowd was cheering wildly everybody was happy I
- began speaking very strongly powerfully and
- happily because I was discussing the great job my Administration did on
- immigration at the southern border we were very proud of
- it first reference to immigration yep behind me and to the right was a
- large screen that was displaying a chart of border crossings under my
- leadership the numbers were absolutely amazing in order to see the
- chart I started to like this turn to my
- 52:04
- right and was ready to begin a little bit further turn which
- I'm very lucky I didn't do when I heard a loud whizzing sound and felt something
- hit me really really hard on my right ear
- I said to myself wow what was that it can only be a
- bullet and moved my right hand to my ear brought it down my hand was covered with
- blood just absolutely blood all over the place I immediately knew it was very
- serious that we were under attack and in one movement proceeded to
- drop to the ground bullets were continuing to
- fly as very brave Secret Service agents rushed to the stage and they really did
- 53:05
- they rushed to the
- stage these are great people at Great risk I will tell you and
- pounced on top of me so that I would be protected
- there was blood pouring everywhere and yet in a certain way I felt very safe
- because I had God on my side I felt
- that the amazing thing is that prior to the shot if I had had not moved my head
- at that very last instant the Assassin's bullet would have perfectly hit its Mark
- 54:05
- and I would not be here tonight we would not be together the most incredible aspect of
- what took place on that terrible evening in the fading sun was actually seen
- later in almost all cases as you probably know and when even a single
- bullet is fired just a single bullet and we had many bullets that were being
- fired crowds Run for the exits or Stampede but not in this case it's very
- unusual now why what's the point he's making there this massive crowd of tens of
- thousands of people stood by and didn't move an inch in fact many of them bravely but
- automatic stood up looking for where the sniper would be they knew immediately it was a
- 55:01
- sniper and then began pointing at him you can see that if you look at the group behind me that was just a small
- group compared to what was in front nobody ran and by not stampeding many
- lives were saved but that isn't the
- reason that they didn't move the reason is that they knew I was in very serious
- trouble they saw it they saw me go down they saw the blood and thought actually most did that
- I was dead they knew it was a shot to the Head they saw the blood and there's
- an interesting statistic the ears are the bloodiest part if something happens
- with the ears they bleed more than any other part of the body for whatever reason the doctors told me that I said
- why is there so much blood he said it's the ears they bleed more so we learned something but why are we talking as much
- 56:02
- about this in as much detail it's very hard for him to talk about they just this beautiful crowd they didn't want to
- leave me they knew I was in trouble they didn't want to leave me because they adore him you can see that love wor all
- over their faces incredible people they're not
- Traders they're incredible people bullets were flying over us yet I felt
- serene but now the Secret Service agents were putting themselves in Peril they were in
- very dangerous territory bullets were flying right over them missing them by a very small amount of
- inches and then it all stopped our secret service
- sniper from a much greater distance and with only one bullet
- used took the Assassin's life took took him
- 57:03
- out I'm not supposed to be here tonight not supposed to be here Trump and have
- made it easier for mentally ill people to buy guns by removing mental illness
- from background checks Heather oh there were a lot of mass shootings under Trump
- America suffered more than 1,700 mass shootings we're not talking about that part obviously thank
- you but I'm not and I'll tell you I stand before you in this Arena
- only by the grace of almighty
- God in watching the reports over the last few days many people say it was a a
- providential moment probably was when I Rose surrounded by Secret
- 58:03
- Service the crowd was confused because they thought I was dead and there was
- great great sorrow I could see that on their faces as I looked out they didn't know I was looking out
- they thought it was over but I could see it and I wanted to do something to let
- him know I was okay I raised my right arm looked at the thousands and
- thousands of people that were breathlessly waiting and started
- shouting fight fight fight now why was
- that logically what why did the fight fight fight follow from wanting to
- reassure the crowd that he was okay once my clenched fist went up maybe logic
- isn't part it was high into the air you've all seen that the crowd really
- realized I was okay and roared with pride for our country like no crowd I
- 59:03
- have ever heard before I mean any assassination attempt
- is horrendous and disgusting and but this rest of my life I will be grateful
- for the love shown by that giant audience of Patriots that stood bravely
- on that fateful evening in Pennsylvania tragically the shooter claimed the life
- of one of our fellow Americans Corey comparator unbelievable person everybody
- tells me
- unbelievable and seriously wounded two other great warriors spoke to them
- today David Dutch and James copenhaver who great
- people I also spoke to all three families of these tremendous people our
- 1:00:04
- love and prayers are with them and always will be we're never going to forget them they came for a Great Rally
- they were serious trumpsters I want to tell you they were serious trumpsters and still are but Corey unfortunately we
- have to use the past tense he was incredible he was a highly respected former fire chief respected by everybody
- was accompanied by his wife Helen incredible woman I spoke to her today
- devastated and two precious daughters he lost his life selflessly acting as a
- human shield to protect them from flying bullets he went right over the top of them and was
- hit What a fine man he was
- 1:01:03
- [Applause]
- oh please the NRA spent $30
- million to elect Trump in 20166 million more in 2020 he is the
- candidate of the National Rifle Association yes I want to thank the fire department
- and the family for sending his helmet his outfit and uh it
- was just something and they're going to do something very special when they get it but we did something which cannot
- match what happened not even close but I am very proud to say that over the past few days we've raised $6.3
- 1:02:05
- million for the families of David James and Corey including from a friend
- of mine just called up he sent me a check right here I just got it $1
- million from Dan new thank you Dan
- I don't think and again when speaking to the family I told them I said well I'm going to be sending you a lot of money
- but it can't compensate they all said the same thing you're right sir we appreciate so much what you're doing but
- nothing can take the place in the case of Corey and the other two by the way they were very very seriously injured
- but now they're doing very well they're going to be okay they're going to be doing
- the Warriors so now Warriors I ask that we observe a moment of silence in honor
- 1:03:05
- of our friend
- Corey there is no great love than to lay down one's life for others this is the
- spirit that forged America in her Darkest Hours and this is the love that
- will lead America back to the summit of human achievement and greatness this is
- what we need despite such a heinous attack we unite this evening more
- determined than ever I am more determined than ever and so are you so is everybody in

- nation going to turn our nation around and we're going to do it very quickly thank
- you this election should be about the issues facing our country and how to

- again in an age when our politics too often divide us now is the time to
- remember that we are all fellow citizens we are one nation under God indivisible
- with liberty and justice for all hea this is the man who divided the nation more than any man any single person has
- divided this nation and continues to on true social daily and we must not
- 1:06:00
- criminalize dissent or demonize political disagreement which is what's
- been happening in our country lately at a level that nobody has ever seen before
- because of you in that Spirit the Democrat Party should immediately stop weaponizing the justice system and
- labeling their political opponent as an enemy of democracy you label opponents vermin
- and promise Mass detention camps that is not true in fact I am the one saving
- democracy for the people of our country
- okay this we need a bigger sign a bigger a big lie B news as you probably just read
- when one day a major ruling was handed down from a highly respected federal
- judge in Florida she's not highly respected finding that the prosecutor
- and the fake documents case against me were totally unconstitutional and the
- 1:07:04
- entire case was thrown out of court I've got to say the 11th Circuit Court of
- Appeals has twice found that elen Cannon was wrong in delaying the trial twice
- and then the third time she's done it once more she has a theory that it is
- that you can't have a special prosecutor no we've had special prosecutors since ulyses S Grant in this country I know
- ien publicity thrown out of
- cour if Democrats want to unify our country they should drop these partisan
- witch hunts which I have been going through for approximately eight years and they should do that without
- delay and allow an election to proceed that is worthy of our people we're going to win it
- anyway but worthy of our people Trump has PR on journey I am
- deeply honored to be joined he' prosecute my amazing wife Melania
- and Melania thank you very much you also did something really beautiful a letter
- to America calling for National unity and it really took the Republican Party
- by surprise I will tell you it was beautiful I haven't seen
- it my dictator on day one is going to unify is that yes he's going to be
- serious people said that we should take that letter and put it as part of the
- 1:09:01

- term we got hit with Co we did a great job nobody knew what it was but nobody's

- billion dollars in exchange for getting rid of environmental regulations talking about buying votes they didn't want to

- simple but it's not and I got them to agree that somebody that needs it will
- instead of going to Asia Europe or someplace or if you have no money going home and dying just
- die we got them to sign an agreement agree to it where they're not going to sue anybody they're going to get all of
- this stuff they're going to get it really fast and what's happened is we're saving thousands and thousands of lives

- deficit was blown up I brought taxes way down way way down and yet we took in
- more revenues the following year than we did when the tax rate was much higher most people said how did you do that
- because it was incentive everybody was coming to the country they were bringing
- 1:25:02
- back billions and billions of dollars into our country the companies made it impossible to bring it back the tax rate

- 1:26:05
- immigration crisis is something that he conjured up I mean illegal immigration
- news helped illegal immigration is way
- down on the wall we were dealing with a very difficult Congress and I said oh
- that's okay we won't go to Congress I call it an invasion we gave our military
- almost $800 billion I said I'm going to take a little of that money because this is an invasion and we built most of the
- wall is already built and we built it through using the funds because what's more what's better than that we have to
- stop The Invasion into our country that's killing
- hundreds of thousands of people a year I'm not going to let that happen this is
- not it's this this is a law boldface law I will end every single International
- crisis that the current Administration has created including the horrible war
- 1:27:05
- with Russia and Ukraine which would have never happened if I was President because he and the War caused by the
- attack on Israel which would have never happened if I was President Iran was broke Iran
- had no money now Iran has $250 billion doll they made it all over the last two
- and a half years they were broke I watched the other day on a show called deface the nation has anyone seen it and
- they had a congressman who was a Democrat say well whether you like them or not Iran was broke dealing with Trump
- I told China and other countries if you buy from Iran we will not let you do any
- business in this country and we will put tariffs on every product you do send in of 100% or
- more yeah you just thought and they said to me well I think that's about it they weren't going to buy any oil and they
- were ready to make a deal Iran was going to make a deal with us and then we had that horrible horrible result that
- 1:28:03
- will'll never let happen again the election result we're never going to let that happen again they used Co to cheat
- you're never going to let it happen again and they took off all the sanctions and they did everything
- possible for Iran and now Iran is very close to having a nuclear weapon which
- would have never happened this is a shame what what this Administration the dam another line that this
- Administration has done and I say it often if you took the 10 worst Presidents in the history of the United
- States think of it the 10 worst added them up they will not have done the damage that Biden has done okay only
- going to use uh a survey uh of 154 respected historians ranked Trump the
- worst president in American history and put Biden in the top 20 best because of
- his success at leading us out of the covid crisis ter once Biden I'm not going to
- 1:29:04
- use the name anymore just one time the damage that he's done to this country is
- Unthinkable it's Unthinkable together we will restore
- Vision strength confidence and we're going to have a thing called common
- sense making most of our decisions actually it's all common sense about the common
- good just a few short years ago under my presidency we had the most secure border
- and best economy in the history of our country in the history of the world we had the greatest economy in the history
- of the world we had never done anything like it we were beating every country
- including China by Leaps and Bounds nobody had seen anything like it we had no inflation soaring incomes were going
- nobody's nobody can believe it you can't believe what happened four years AG I know about
- the economy hit hit us with it okay Trump lost 2.9 Million jobs during the his
- 1:30:05
- four years the economy slowed even before covid economic growth was slower
- than it has been in fact Biden's economic growth is twice as great as
- Trump's he is now getting away with what saying things that are completely
- opposite to the truth history yep is happening now in reverse and the
- world was at peace inflation has been a killer for our country no matter what you make it it doesn't matter because
- inflation is eating you alive people that were putting away money they were making great wages the highest they've
- ever made but they were putting away a lot of money now they are just being destroyed they're not putting away
- anything they're barely living they're going into savings accounts they're taking out their money to live because
- of inflation inflation remember it's called a country Buster you can go back to Germany from a hundred years ago you
- 1:31:03
- can go back to any country that suffered great inflation we've suffer the
- worst inflation okay during his years we went into the worst covid crisis of any
- country he did nothing he did absolutely nothing uh and because of that we had to
- we had had to he agreed to pump huge amounts of money into the economy uh to
- just simply sustain the economy because of his failure to reign in the covid
- crisis and when you put that kind of money into the economy you get inevitably some inflation so the FED has
- now brought inflation down to 3% core inflation I know and remember what he
- did with Tyson chicken and all of it I mean we've ever had but go back and see
- what's happened to those countries we've had the worst inflation we've ever had under this
- person but in less than four years our opponents have turned incredible success
- 1:32:04
- into unparalleled tragedy and failure it's been a tremendous failure today our
- cities are flooded with illegal aliens Americans are being squeezed out of the labor force and their jobs are taken by
- the way you know who's taking the jobs the jobs that are created 107% of those
- jobs are taken by illegal aliens and you know who's being hurt the most by
- millions of people pouring into our country the black population and the
- Hispanic population because they're taking the jobs from our black
- population our Hispanic population and they're also taking them from unions the
- can I just saying because the notion that there are black jobs or Hispanic jobs is itself such a a discriminatory
- bigoted idea you know I mean how can if you were a black person or if you were a Hispanic if or Latino how would you like
- 1:33:03
- it if somebody said oh well that's a that's a Latino job or that's a black job I know absurd and more jobs were
- created in Pre President Obama's last three years than in Trump's oh verse
- three I mean come on he's just the jobs and the inflation lies thank you thank you I like you too
- thank you very much inflation has wiped out the life savings of our citizens and forc the
- middle class into a state of depression and despair that's what it is it's Despair and depression we cannot and
- will not let this continue less than four years ago we were a great nation
- and we will soon be a great nation again we're going to be a great nation again
- he hasn't mentioned project 2025 has thank you with proper leadership every
- 1:34:01
- disaster we are now enduring will be fixed and it will be fixed very very quickly so tonight whether you've
- supported me in the past or not I hope you will support me in the future because I will bring back the American
- dream that's what we're going to do you don't even hear about the record low unemployment as you like to point out
- with humility I am asking you to be excited about the future of our country
- be excited be excited this is hard to I'm glad we're
- together and by the way the news reports all look at all of
- those big networks look at them they're all here but every one of them has said
- this could be the most organized best run and most
- enthusiastic Convention of either party that they've ever seen every single
- 1:35:04
- one uh wait a minute every convention has about the same number of people I mean are supposed to come conventional
- Halls only hold a certain number of people also I don't see anybody up there
- no pretty standard size for a convention point is to have the Press there
- otherwise we'll blow it and we can't let that happen what now this was great all
- of the great people that spoke and everybody hit a home run I mean there's not one that I can think of where I said
- oh gee that wasn't great every single person I refused to be the only one
- don't do that to me they're already getting ready see I gave him an idea now we had a this was a great
- convention this was uh I think we're actually going to go home and miss it you know usually with a con first of all
- look at look at these crowds you'd never have this at a convention look at these crowds you never have what people you
- have real people at most
- 1:36:05
- conventions love it's about love this week the entire Republican party has
- formerly adopted an agenda for America's renewal and you saw that agenda and it's
- very short compared to the long boring
- meaningless agendas of the past including the Democrats they write these things that are hundreds of pages long
- and they never read them after they're done there is nobl fortunately they don't read them because they're pretty
- bad it's a series they had we will swiftly Implement when you give us a
- republican house and Mr speaker thank you very
- much we have our great speaker of the house with us tonight Mr speaker thank
- you very much thank you not going to say his name a Republican Senate we have many
- senators here and send me back to our beautiful white house just a few short months from
- 1:37:06
- now we're talking about just months it can't come fast enough we have to get it
- done first we must get economic relief to our citizens starting on day one we
- will drive down prices and make America affordable again we have have to make it affordable it's not
- affordable people can't live like this under this
- Administration our current Administration groceries are up 57%
- gasoline is up 60 and 70% mortgage rates have quadrupled okay I've got to say he
- has not put forward one single idea for bringing these costs down the only way
- to deal with these costs is through antitrust enforcement because a lot of them are being driven by big companies
- that are just raising their prices because they have Market power he doesn't believe in antitrust he treding to gut the antitrust division of the
- 1:38:03
- justice department he wants to close the Federal Trade Commission this is the opposite the opposite of what he is now
- talking about and the fact is it doesn't matter what they are because you can't get the money anywhere can't buy houses young
- people can't get any financing to buy a house the total household costs have increased an average of
- $228,000 per family under this Administration Republicans have a plan
- to bring down prices and bring them down very very rapidly by slashing energy
- costs we will in turn reduce the cost of Transportation manufacturing and all
- household goods so we also know that Moody has found Biden's policies better
- for the economy than Trump's I mean and he could trigger a recession again as
- well what they're saying much starts with energy and remember we have more Liquid
- Gold under our feet than any other country by far we are a nation that has
- 1:39:05
- the opportunity to make an absolute Fortune with its energy we have it and
- China does it under the Trump Administration just three and A2 years
- ago we were energy independent but soon we will actually be better than that we
- will be energy dominant and Supply not only ourselves but we will wait a we're
- already energy independent we are already producing more energy than we need and by the way he is not
- acknowledging that fossil fuels are responsible for this incredible climate
- crisis we're going through half the nation is suffering the more the worst heat that they have ever suffered do you
- think anybody is watching this and saying oh I feel great about the climate
- Supply the rest of the world with numbers that nobody has ever
- 1:40:00
- seen and we will reduce our debt $36 trillion we will start reducing that and
- we will also reduce your taxes still further next by the way they want to
- raise your taxes four times think of it and all my life I grew up watching
- politicians I always love politics I guess I was on the other side I'd watched Pol and they were always talking
- about we will give you a tax cut we will give you a tax cut we my whole life I was watching I will give you a tax cut
- right Mr Congressman that's all they talked about this is the only Administration that said we're going to
- raise your taxes by four times what you're paying now and people are supposed to vote for them I've never heard it Biden has no plans to raise
- taxes on America tax earning less than 400k still further we gave you the biggest one as I said we're going to
- give billionaires he going to lead to tremendous growth million billion offb a huge tax cut and
- corporations that's why the debt that's why ridiculous
- 1:41:04
- and of tax dollars that is fueling the inflation crisis they spent trillions of
- dollars on things having to do with the green new scam it's a scam and that's
- caused tremendous inflationary pressures in addition to the cost of energy and
- all of the trillions of dollars that are sitting there not yet spent we will redirect that money for important
- projects like roads Bridges dams and we will not allow it to be spent on
- meaningless green new scam ideas he promised at
- infrastructure repeatedly never happened Biden produced the first major
- infrastructure no mandate on day one there's no mandate
- what what mandate to be a dictator there by saving the US Auto industry from complete obliteration which is happening
- 1:42:01
- right now and saving us customers thousands and thousands of dollars per
- car and right now as we speak large factories just started are being built
- across the border in Mexico so with all the other things happening on our border and they're being built by China to make
- cars and to sell them into our country no tax no anything can I just say the United aut work manufacturing employment
- manufacturing jobs has surged under Biden it actually did went nowhere under
- Trump this ought to be ashamed for allowing this to happen and the leader
- of the United aut workers should be fired immediately in every single order worker Union and non union should be
- voting for Donald Trump because we're going to bring back car manufacturing and we're going to bring it back
- fast it fell to a 10year low man us manufacturing under Trump they're build
- 1:43:03
- some of the largest Auto plants anywhere in the world think of it in the world we're going to bring it back we're going
- to make them we don't mind the we don't mind that happening but those plants are going to be built in the United States
- and our people are going to man those PL Trump when he was president awarded more than $425 billion in federal contracts
- to corporations off put approximately 100 to 200% on each car and they will be
- unsellable in the United States we have long been taken advantage
- of by other countries and think of it often times these other countries are considered
- so-called allies they've taken advantage of us for years we lose jobs we lose revenue and they gain everything and
- wipe out our businesses wipe out our people I stopped it for four years I stopped it and we really ready to make
- changes like nobody had seen before and remember usmca I got rid of NAFTA the
- 1:44:04
- worst trade deal ever made and replaced it with usmca which is they say the best
- trade deal ever made almost no difference actually probably the best trade deal was the deal I made with
- China where they buy 50 billion dollar worth of our product they were buying nothing they buy $50 billion worth they
- had to but I don't even talk about it because of Co I don't even mention it frankly
- because of what happened with the China virus what it's so
- horrific we will not let countries come in take our jobs and plunder our nation
- they come and do that they plunder our nation the way they will sell their product in
- America is to build It in America very simple Build It in America and only in
- America so he's going to have what tariffs 100% tariffs on
- 1:45:03
- all products coming into the United States so Zero Sum in black or white not
- to mention false and this very simple formula in
- Congress has to go along with us and they will this very simple formula will
- create massive number numbers of jobs we will take over the Auto industry again and many many hundreds of thousands of
- jobs we lost so many jobs over the years if you go back 20 25 years they've
- stolen going to China and Mexico about 68% of our Auto industry manufacturing
- jobs we're going to get them all back we're going to get them all back every one of them that's what you promised
- before bid at the C plan for economic relief are massive tax cuts for workers
- that include something else that's turned out to be very popular actually
- here it's very popular in this building and all those hotels that I saw that are so nice I'm staying TI workers it's
- 1:46:05
- called no tax on tips no tax on tip no
- tax on tips Trump's Labor Department actually had made it easier for
- employers to take the tips of workers
- this is the faux workingclass populism right I got that by having dinner
- recently in Nevada where we're leading by about 14 points
- hello I'll see you there very soon everybody and we're having dinner at a
- beautiful restaurant in the Trump building on the strip and it's a great building and the waitress comes over
- how's everything going really nice person how's everything oh Sirah it's so tough the government after me all the
- time on tips tips tips I said well they give you cash would they be able to find them she said actually and I didn't know
- this she said very little cash is given it's all put right on the check and they come in and they take so much of our
- 1:47:05
- money it's just ridiculous and they don't believe anything we say and they've just hired as you know
- 88,000 agents to go after them even [Music] more those agents by the way have been
- going after Millionaires and billionaires bring huge amounts of
- Consultants they pay millions of dollars but I said to her let me just ask you a question would you be happy if you had
- no tax and tips she said what a great idea I got my information from a very smart waitress that's better than
- spending millions of dollars and everybody everybody loves it waitresses
- and caddies and drivers and everybody is a large large group of people that are
- being really hurt B ly they make money let them keep their money I'm going to protect Social
- Security and Medicare Democrats are going to destroy Social Security and Medicare because all of these people by
- 1:48:05
- the millions they're coming in they're going to be on okay let me be clear if you are an immigrant who's here
- illegally undocumented you cannot draw any Social Security but you've got to
- pay into Social Security right we debunked this at the debate you and I are getting repetitive
- Social Security and Medicare and other things and you're not able to afford it
- they are destroying your Social Security and your Medicare under my plan incomes
- will Skyrocket will vanish completely jobs will come roaring back and the middle
- class will prosper undocumented immigrants have paid in about 27 billion dollar more into Social Security than
- they've got back that's 27 billion that is supporting right Americans who
- are here legally I mean this is never ever before and we're going to do it
- 1:49:00
- very
- rapidly but no hope or dream we have for America can succeed unless we stop the
- illegal immigrant Invasion the worst that's ever been seen anywhere in the world there's never been an invasion
- like this anywhere third world country would fight with sticks and stones not to let this happen and the ourn B we
- will stop we will stop it quickly you heard Tom Homan yesterday Tom Homan put him in charge and just sit back and
- watch demagog Brandon Jud a border patrol he's incredible
- these guys you know they they really their job is a lot easier if they don't have to do anything but they want to their Patriots Brandon Jud border patrol
- ice ice goes out you have to see what ice does with MS13 you have these These
- are probably the worst gang and Ice goes in there and I know a lot of people in these Ro Biden and the Republicans had a
- 1:50:04
- deal to make it even stricter in terms of border security and the Republicans
- in the house listening to Trump said no we're not going to go along he wanted it
- to be a campaign issue here and they're very tough people but they don't want to do this job they'll go into a pack of
- MS-13 Killers they're the worst probably the worst gangs in the world we have thousands of them I moved thousands and
- thousands out in my four years we moved them out and it was a pleasure but ice would go right into a pack of these
- killers and you see fists flying you see everything flying and then they take them they put them in a Patty
- wagon they take him back and they get them out of our country and the other countries weren't accepting them back
- and I called up and I said tell them that we're not giving them economic aid and anymore and the next day I got calls
- from all of these countries that were terminated billions of dollars we spend on economic aid to countries that does
- 1:51:02
- US frankly no good and the next day I was called by everybody I couldn't take all the call sir sir what's the problem
- I said you won't take your Killers back that you sent in Caravans into America
- you won't take them back well sir uh if you'd like us to we would give very serious consideration to doing that what
- is happening so when he says sir of being taken back
- Years first came tell tale they said President Obama tried to get him to go
- back and they wouldn't accept him they'd put planes on the runway so you couldn't lead the plane they'd closed the road so
- you couldn't take the buses at all have to turn back as soon as I said no more economic aid of any kind to any country
- that does that they called back and they said sir it would be our great honor to take MS13 we love them very much
- this is we love them very much sir we'll take most dangerous form of democra at the heart of the Republican platform is
- 1:52:01
- our pledge to end this border Nightmare and fully restore the sacred and Sovereign borders of the United States
- America and we're going to the Border illegal border crossings are
- down with the said Invasion that means two things in day one right drill baby
- drill and close our borders what happened to dictator you know Heather not a single American
- has been killed by a terrorist crossing our Southern border by the way and I
- think everybody as a republican as a patriot in this room and most Democrats
- we want people to come into our country but they have to come into our country
- legally
- Legally less than four years ago I handed this Administration the strongest
- Border in American history but you can see on the chart that saved my life that
- was the chart that saved my life I said look at I'm so proud of it I think it's one of the greatest it was done by the border
- 1:53:06
- patrol one of the greatest charts I've ever seen it showed everything just like that you know the chart oh there it is
- that's pretty good wow last time I put up that chart I
- never really got to look at it now we're making but without that
- chart I would not be here today Trump's massive deportation
- plan is would be a disaster a humanitarian
- disaster it would be an economic disaster he wants to round up 11 to 15
- million people put them concentration camps I never got to see it that that
- day but I'm seeing it now and I was very proud if you look at the arrow in the bottom that's the lowest level the one
- on the bottom heavy red arrow that's the lowest level of illegal immigrants ever
- 1:54:05
- to come into our country in recorded history right there that's the that's because that's 2020 that's
- Co and that was my last week in office and then you see what happened after I
- left look at the rest and if you go out a little bit further it's getting to be a little bit old but I love it anyway
- right but you can go much higher with those numbers look what happened right after that The Invasion began we had the
- opposite we stopped The Invasion but the invasion that we stopped was peanuts by
- comparison to what happened after I left look at what happened after I left they took over our country this makes end 20
- referen to the word Invasion we shut down Asylum fraud stopped human trafficking and forged historic
- agreements to keep illegal aliens on foreign soil we want them to stay on their soil under the Trump
- Administration if you came in illegally you were apprehended immediately and you were deported and you were put if you
- 1:55:03
- were a child you were put in a cage the current Administration terminated every single one of those great Trump policies
- that I put in place to seal the Border I wanted to seal border again come in but
- come in Legally you know how unfair it is so many people hundreds of thousands of people have been working for years to
- to come into our country and now they see these people pour into our country at levels that are unprecedented so
- unfair and we're not going to do it we're not going to stand for it they suspended wall construction ended remain
- in Mexico we had a policy remain in Mexico you think that was easy to get from the Mexican Government but I said
- you must give it to us if you don't give it to us there will be repercussions and they gave it to us that's exactly the
- policy we have right now canel our safe third agreements demolished title 42
- implemented Nationwide Catch and Release that's Catch and Release where we catch them and release them into our country I
- had we catch them and release them into Mexico there was a slight difference and took 93 this is the
- 1:56:08
- previous administration 93 executive actions to throw open our border to the world the
- entire world is pouring into our country because of this very foolish Administration the greatest invas in
- history is taking place right here in our country they are coming in from every corner of the earth not just from
- South America but from Africa Asia the Middle East they're coming from everywhere they're coming at levels that
- we've never seen before it is an invasion indeed and this Administration
- does absolutely nothing to stop them they're coming from prisons they're
- coming from jails they're coming from mental institutions and insan true say
- this immigrants are 60% less likely as a
- percentage to commit crimes than are people who are born in the United States
- 1:57:04
- also this is just a smear there is no evidence that people are coming for mental institutions or jails which is
- his other favorite thing say is always on me because I say this has anyone seen
- Silence of the Lambs the late great Hannibal Lector
- he'd love to have you for dinner not his joke that's insane
- asylums they're emptying out their inane asylums and terrorists are coming in at numbers that we've never seen before bad
- things are going to happen meanwhile our crime rate is going up while crime
- statistics all over the world are going down because they're taking their criminals and they're putting them into
- our country a certain country and I happen to like the president of that country
- very much but he's been getting great publicity because he's a wonderful Shepherd of the country he
- 1:58:02
- says how well the country is doing because their crime rate is down and he said he's training all of these rough
- people they're rough rough rough he's training them and I've been reading about this for two years I think oh
- that's wonderful let's take a look at it but then I realized he's not training them he's sending all of his criminals
- his drug dealers his people that are in jails he's sending them all to the United States and he's different and

- wonderful thing now they say how can you possibly do that but now I got along
- with them and we stopped the missile launchers from North nor Korea now North Korea is acting up again but when we get
- back I get along with them he did not stop laun from North Korea I think he misses me if you want to know the
- to comedic our opponents inherited a world at peace and turned it into a
- planet of War we're in a planet of war look at that attack on Israel look
- at what's happening with Ukraine the cities are just bombed out how can
- people live like that buildings massive buildings are falling to the ground remember when he delay to unravel
- with the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan the worst humiliation in the history of our country we have never had
- 2:07:03
- a humiliation like that 13 heroic US service members were tragically and
- needlessly killed 45 others were horrifically wounded nobody ever talks about them no arms no
- legs face explosions you know US troops were killed in Afghanistan in every year
- of the a man yeah wars were going on not a who's running for the US sener from a
- great state Nevada Named Sam Brown who paid the ultimate
- price thank you Sam thank you
- Sam thank you he paid the biggest
- price probably ever paid by anybody that is running for office and I think he's
- going to do great he's running against a person that is not good not respected a
- 2:08:04
- total lightweight but Sam I think paid really we were talking about it with
- some of the Senators that are working so hard for Sam but he paid the biggest
- price of any Senator ever to run for the Senate I don't think anybody's ever what he did he was a real a really great
- person and he's running and I hope that everybody gets out and votes for Sam
- Brown this this still am I is this real life is this still are we still here are
- we still here I don't know Left Behind 85 billion worth of military equipment
- along with many American citizens were left behind many many American citizens
- emboldened by that disaster Russia invaded Ukraine they saw this group of people that were incompetent we took the
- soldiers out first no no we're going to take the soldiers out second if they would have followed my plan we had a
- great plan but the plan only kicked in if they did everything perfectly and they weren't doing things perfectly so
- 2:09:05
- we said it doesn't kick in you know 18 months in Afghanistan we didn't have one
- s they were killing them left and right snipers and I spoke to the head of the
- Taliban you've heard this story Abdul still there still the head of the
- Taliban the Press got on me why would you speak to him I said because that's where the killing is I don't have to
- speak to somebody that has nothing to do with it and I told him don't ever do that don't ever do that again don't ever
- ever do that again you got to stop because during the Obama Administration many great people and soldiers a lot of
- soldiers were being killed from long distance I said if you keep doing that you're going to be hit harder than
- anybody's ever been hit by a country before do you think they're flashing a light
- saying it's time to wrap it up or do you think there's we you know with the teleprompter there's a and he said I
- 2:10:00
- understand your Excellency call me your Excellency I wonder if he calls the other guy your Excellency I doubt it
- other guy gave him everything I mean what kind of a deal was that he walked out gave him everything do you know that
- right now Afghanistan is one of the largest sellers of weapons in the world
- they're selling the brand new beautiful weapons that we gave them but think of
- it he actually said to me but why but why do you show me a picture of my home I said
- you'll have to ask your people or one of your wives but he could figure it out and for
- 18 months we had not one attack on an American Soldier by the Taliban 18 this
- is so many lies and so many deviations and stories I'm it's hard to track if
- someone actually wrote this speech I feel like it's going back and forth from the teleprompter to his own stream of
- 2:11:01
- Consciousness ridiculous election but we had that horrible attack and uh they
- also gave up barram one of the biggest bases anywhere in the world air bases anywhere in the world the longest runways most
- powerful Harden thickened runways we gave it up and I liked it not because of
- Afghanistan I liked because of China it's 1 hour away from where China makes their nuclear weapons and you know who
- has it now China has it now we were keeping
- that and now China is likewise circling Taiwan and Russian warships and nuclear
- submarines are operating 60 miles off the coast in Cuba do you know that the
- Press refuses to write about it the Press refus me running this country and we had nuclear submarines and Cuba this
- is worrying I will tell you the headlines every day would be what's wrong with our president you don't even
- hear this you're not hearing about this Russia has nuclear submarines and
- 2:12:03
- warships 60 miles away Mr congressman from Miami by the way
- happens to be here correct in Cuba that would not be stood for if it
- were somebody else they don't even me they don't want to mention it but now maybe they will
- and the entire world I tell you this we want our hostages back and they better be back
- before I assume office or you will be paying a very big
- price who's going to be paying a price and how is he going to make them pay a price
- they see the subtext here is I am powerful I am macho man I'm connected I
- can call anyone witness and Chaos will be over I don't have wars I
- had no Wars other than Isis which I defeated but that was a war that was started we had no Wars I could stop Wars
- 2:13:05
- with a telephone call right I could stop war with just a telephone
- call if properly stated it would never start we will replenish our military and
- build an iron Dome missile defense system to ensure that no enemy can strike our homeland and this great Iron
- Dome will be built entirely in the USA we're going to build it this is like the Star Wars
- defense system that Reagan came up with Wisconsin just like I gave you that
- massive ship contract and you're doing a very nice job Governor
- right thank you governor and they're doing a great job in fact I had a little design change we gave him a tremendous
- for essentially what we used to call the names of these people now most beautiful
- they look like yachs they said we have to take the bow and we have to make it a little nicer and a little point at the
- 2:14:03
- top instead of a flat nose he's losing it and the people at the ship yard said this guy sort of knows what he's doing
- we most beautiful ships right governor and everybody sitting over there and it was a big contract that everybody wanted
- I gave it to but are worrying a lot of that built right here the state of
- Wisconsin and all other states Israel has an Iron Dome they have a missile
- defense system 342 missiles were shot into Israel and only one got through a
- little bit it was badly wounded it fell to the ground but most of them are and Ronald Reagan wanted this many years ago
- but we really didn't have the technology many years ago remember they called it Starship spaceship Star Wars anything to
- mock him but he was a very good president very very good
- but now we have unbelievable technology and why should other countries have this
- and we don't no no we're going to build an iron Dome over our country and we're going to be sure that nothing can come
- 2:15:05
- and harm our people and again from an economic development standpoint we're going to make it all right here no more
- sending it out to other countries in order to help it's America First America
- First isolationism we will Unleash the Power of American Innovation and as we
- do we will soon be on the verge of finding the cures to cancer Alzheimer's
- disease and many other diseases wow we're going to get to the bottom of it
- oh you remember this gentleman that I he come up with a health plan because when
- you say the 10 worst I had to do I didn't want anybody many since 2015 but
- this man said we're going to find the cure to cancer nothing happened we're going to get to the cure for cancer and
- Alzheimer's covid test happening the parking lot on the website I mean do we remember that but we need a leader that
- will let it be done we will not have men playing in women's sports that will end
- 2:16:05
- immediately okay now here we go finally it gets to some of the unalo
- bigotry against people in the we will restore and renovate our nation's once great cities making them safe clean and
- beautiful again and that includes our nation's capital which is a horrible
- killing field so many things they leave from Wisconsin they go to look at the Washington Monument they end up getting
- stabbed killed or shot what we will be very soon very proud of our Capital
- again Washington DC our school's coming up he hasn't said too only mention him
- once America is on the cusp of a new golden age but we
- will have the courage to seize it we're going to take it we're going to make it a current I mean we're going to bring
- this into a golden age like never seen before remember this China wants to do
- 2:17:03
- it Japan wants to do it all of these countries want to do it we have to produce massive amounts of energy if
- we're going to produce the new if you look at some of the things that have been done and some of the things that
- we're going to do but what AOH needs
- tremendous literally twice the electricity that's available now in our country can you imagine but instead
- we're spending places where they recharge electric cars they built eight charges
- at a certain location toward the Midwest what eight charges for 9 billion think
- of them as a this is a tank for filling up the gas bizarre think of it they
- spent N9 bill million dollar I don't believe it on eight charges it feels like we're on hour
- 42 and if you are going to do this all over our country this crazy electric
- 2:18:01
- mandate you're going to do this no I'm all for electric they have their
- application but if somebody wants to buy a gas powered car gasoline powered car
- or a hybrid they're going to be able to do it and we're going to make that change on day one there is no manate
- there's no electric
- Commander so to conclude woo just a few short days ago my journey with you
- nearly ended we know that and yet here we are tonight all gathered together
- talking about the future promise and a total renewal of a thing we love very much
- it's called America we live in a world of Miracles none of us knows God's plan or where
- Life Adventure will take us back to the Frankl for being here tonight he's an outstanding
- 2:19:03
- man he wrote me a note recently I have a lot of respect for him sir I love your
- storytelling I think it's great in front of these big rallies but sir please do me one favor it won't make any
- difference please don't use any foul language I was a little embarrassed I
- said what he said it won't make any difference actually it does the story is not quite as good but I've been very
- good the story is not quite as good to be honest just I've got to have a little talk with Franklin but he was great he's
- a great gentleman his father was so incredible Billy graah my father used to love taking me to see Billy graah my
- father would take me to see Billy Graham at Yankee Stadium he had the biggest rallies you've ever seen he was a good
- rally guy too but he'd get up and he was a fantastic guy my father loved Billy
- 2:20:00
- Graham I love Franklin Graham I think Franklin's been fantastic and I'm trying I'm working so hard to adhere to his
- note to me it feels like I'm working hard on it Franklin but if the events of last
- Saturday make anything clear it is that every single moment we have on Earth is
- a gift from God
- we have to make the most of every day for the people and for the country that we love the attacker in Pennsylvania
- wanted to stop our movement but the truth is the movement has never been about me it has always been about you
- it's your movement it's the biggest movement in the history of our country by far the biggest hist America it can't
- be stopped it has always been about the hardworking patriotic citizens of
- America for too long our nation has settled for too little we settle for too
- 2:21:00
- little we've given everything to other nations to other people you have been
- told to lower your expectations and to accept less for your families I am here
- tonight with the opposite message your expectations are not big enough they're
- not big enough
- it is time to start expecting and demanding the best leadership in the world leadership that is bold Dynamic
- Relentless and fearless we can do that we are Americans ambition is our
- heritage greatness is our Birthright but as long as our energies are spent
- fighting each other our destiny will remain Out Of Reach and that's not
- acceptable we must instead take that energy and use it to realize our country's true potential and write our
- own thrilling chapter of the American story we can do it together we will unite we are going to come together and
- 2:22:01
- success will bring us
- together it is a story of love sacrifice and so many other
- things so much othering and remember the word devotion it's unmatching
- devotion our American ancestors crossed the Delaware survived the icy winter at
- Valley Forge and defeated a mighty Empire to establish our cherished
- Republic they fought so hard they lost so many they push thousands and
- thousands of miles across a dangerous Frontier taming the Wilderness to build a life and a magnificent home for their
- family they packed their families into covered wagons treed across
- hazardous Trails scaled towering mountains and braved rivers and Rapids
- to stake their claim on the wide openen new and very beautiful
- 2:23:03
- Frontier when our way of life was threatened American Patriots marched onto the battlefield raced into enemy
- strongholds and stared down death and stared down those enemies to keep alive
- the flame of Freedom at Yorktown Gettysburg and Midway they join the roll call of
- immortal Heroes so many hor just so many Heroes so many great great people and we
- have to cherish those people we can't forget those people we have to cherish those
- people it's called Fallen Soldiers losers and Su ear to those great people
- is a good thing not a bad thing they saved our country building
- monuments these no challenge was too much no hardship was too great this is a
- dog no enemy was too together these Pat Soldier on and
- 2:24:00
- endured and they prevailed because they had faith in each other faith in their
- country and above all they had faith in their
- God just like our ancestors we must now come together rise above past
- differences any disagreements have to be put aside and go forward United as one people one
- nation pledging allegiance to one great beautiful I think it's so beautiful

- quickly make a America great again thank you very much thank you very
- much God bless you longest accept speech I ever remember states of
- 2:27:03
- Amica thank you very much everybody I mean this is longer than most fulllength motion pictures I mean Dumbo remember
- Dumbo went on forever interesting that you picked that one I mean this is also a model I mean
- what the Press is going to say about this is it was a Kinder and gentler Donald Trump I mean he talked about
- Unity over and over again but under the surface of unity and asking for Unity he
- actually is dividing Americans over and over again tougher and tougher the
- divisions over whether you were born outside the United States or whether you
- use the boys' rooms and girls' rooms based upon your birth uh upon where you
- are in America upon your income level and
- what you actually get in terms of his tax cuts I mean he was a total failure
- he Not only was a failure economically in terms of his economic policies but he also and let's not forget he created the
- 2:28:05
- big lie that he lost that he actually won the 2020 election and he
- mounted a a an attempted coup against the government of the United States He
- orchestrated a riot a an ass assault on the United States capital he endangered
- the lives of our entire Congress this is a man who should not get close to the
- presidency but what you saw and what you saw what I saw was a demagogue lied
- repeatedly lied through his teeth said over and over again what is not true but
- said it with a degree of convincing self-confidence and used the themes of
- strength and dominance to win over certainly this audience and I hope let's
- hope not a majority of Americans and US versus them it's all US versus them it's
- 2:29:04
- all a zero sum y contest yep and it's America First isolationism which is
- going to if he would ever actually try to implement it would bring on another
- great depression but the cognitive dissonance trying to listen to him it's like having R record scratch let's bring
- us all together and then here are a thousand ways I'm now pulling us apart right and then but I'm back but I'm not
- I mean it's so it's really actually difficult to follow well he was incoherent when he was off script
- several times he went off script uh and he started to talk about artificial intelligence and energy and several at
- the for and I mean horrible but the word but the but the
- word uh kind of that he kept on using over and over and over again was the
- word Invasion yep that is the most memorable word here his theme is that
- 2:30:00
- America is being invaded others are taking advantage of us I am a strong
- enough powerful enough dominant enough person chosen enough man male uh that I
- will stop all of this it was a I felt it was a depressing I don't know how all of
- you felt um also long depressive I mean 90 90 plus minutes of that it's wild
- really veering all over the place with the stories I remember in third grade learning what a tall tale was you know
- we had an exercise now everyone has to so it's not a normal story what it is is a tall tale so you're going to
- exaggerate everything for effect I mean that everything there was a veering off
- story like your you know I mean I this is too subtle but your worst Uncle at a
- wedding or something you in the audience this and that reminds me of this and and then
- debasing humans all over the place and exaggerating and lies I mean it was
- 2:31:03
- brutal to watch this is also an extraordinarily uh White audience I mean
- the I know that the the Press tries to find examples of people of color uh
- There is almost nobody here it's the most undiverse audience
- um but look we've kept you very late uh and we've kept you very late and you and
- be U but I think it was I think it was worth it to actually see Donald Trump in
- operation the end of his coronation uh and uh let's just hope and
- pray that was a doozy that he does not get the presidency again that the
- Democrats get their act together you're here listen thank you all for joining us I I
- particularly want to thank Dan Davis Michael Lanes Calderon Drew towan Nai
- Bradford Jordan alport Mia Rosenthal Emily Palos and Alan Piper for their
- extraordinary help tonight thank you all thank you for joining
