president trump will keep america america. if you are watching tonight and wrestling with your vote, i implore you, tune out the biased commentary and hear it from someone who knows. i am from the south. i was raised a carolina girl. i went to public school and worked my way through state university. my teacher was right. what i learned about our president is different than what you might have heard. i learned he is a good man, he loves his family, he didn't need this job. no one on earth works harder for the american people, that he is willing to fight for his beliefs and the people in the country that he loves. he is a person of conviction. he is a fighter and will never stop fighting for america. he will uphold our values and preserve our families and build on the great american edict that our nation will never be perfect until opportunity is equal for all, especially for women. our 40th president ronald reagan said it best. the dreams of people may differ, but everybody wants their dreams to come true. america above all pl

i believe the choice in this election is whether america remains america. will leave towe our children and grandchildren a country grounded on our highest ideals of freedom. free markets, the in a legal right to life and liberty and whether we leave to our children and grandchildren, a country that is fundamentally transformed into something else. we stand at the crossroads of freedom. before us lie two paths. i know the people of wisconsin and america are going to choose the path of freedom and opportunity. we are going to choose to reelect president donald trump for four more years. [applause] the truth is joe biden and kamala harris would send america on a path towards socialism and decline. senator sanders said it himself of the democratic convention. he said, "many of the ideas we fought for that just a few years ago were considered radical are now mainstream." [crowd booing] it is amazing but not surprising when you look at their agenda. in the midst of a global pandemic, joe biden would raise taxes by $4 trillion. that is more than twice the tax incr

he has moved america forward, while joe biden has held america back. when joe was vp, i was governor of the great state of south carolina. we had a pretty good run. manufacturers of all kind flocked to our state from overseas, creating tens of thousands of american jobs. people were referring to south carolina as the beast of the southeast, which i loved. everything we did happened in spite of joe biden and his old boss. we cut taxes. they raised them. we slashed red tape, they piled on more mandates. when we bought in good paying jobs, biden and obama sued us. i thought back. they gave up. foughtought back -- back. a biden-harris administration would be much much worse. this time it will be pelosi, sanders and the squad. their vision for america is socialism. we know that socialism has failed everywhere. they want to tell americans how to live and what to think. they want a government takeover of health care. they want to ban fracking and kill millions of jobs. they want massive tax hikes on working families. joe biden and the socialist left would be

stuff happening in trump's america, well that's actually joe biden's america. so, wait, when is it trump's america? when things are going well. and as for the idea that you won't be safe when joe biden is president, people are not safe now! forget the riots, coronavirus is waiting to punch me in the lungs as soon as i leave the house! you won't be safe in the future! bitch, i can't even go to a denny's right now! so meeps talking about riots and protest wasn't exactly on the up and up, but nothing compared to his bullshit about trump's handling of the coronavirus pandemic, which to hear him tell it was more per feck than trump's call with ukraine. >> before the first case of the coronavirus spread within the united states, the president took unprecedented action and suspended all travel from china, the second largest economy in the world. now, that action saved untold american lives, and i can tell you firsthand, it bought us invaluable time to launch the greatest national mobilization since world war ii. president trump martialed the full resources of our fede

that is our america. and that is the america i believe in. that is the america i know we believe in. and as we embark on this campaign, i will tell you this, i am not perfect. lord knows i am not perfect. but i will always speak with decency and moral clarity, and treat all people with dignity and respect. [cheers and applause] sen. harris: i will lead with integrity and i will speak the truth. course, we know this is not going to be easy, guys. it is not going to be easy. and we know what the doubters will say. it is the same thing they have always said. they will say, it's not your time. they will say, wait your turn. they will say, the odds are long. they will say, it can't be done. >> yes it can! storyarris: but america's has always been written by people who can see what can be, i'm burdened -- unburdened by what has been. that is our story. that is our story. and as robert kennedy many years ago said, only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly. [cheers and applause] he also said, i

president trump will keep america america. if you're watching tonight and wrestling with your vote on november 3, i implore you tune out the bias news and hear it straight from 1 that knows. i wasn't born a trump. i was raised a carolina girl. i went to public schools and worked my way through a state university. mrs. b from my seventh grade english class was right. what i learned about our president is different than what you might have heard. i learned that he's a good man. that he loves his family. that he didn't need this job. that no one on earth worked harder for the american people. that he's willing to fight for his beliefs and for the people and the country that he loves. he's a person of conviction. he's a fighter and will never stop fighting for america. he will uphold our values. he will preserve our families. he will build upon the great american edict that our union will never be perfect until opportunity is equal for all, including and especially for women. our 40th president, ronald reagan, said it best. the dr

this is our america. [applause] hubert humphrey: there can be no compromise on securing of human rights. if america is to make a crucial judgment of leadership in this coming election, then let that selection be made without either candidate hedging or equivocating. winning the presidency for me is not worth the price of silence or evasion on the issue of human rights. [applause] hubert humphrey: and winning the presidency, and listen well, winning the presidency is not worth a compact with extremism. [applause] hubert humphrey: i choose not simply to run for president. i seek to lead a great nation. [applause] hubert humphrey: and either we achieve true justice in our land or we shall doom ourselves to a terrible exhaustion of body and spirit. i base my entire candidacy on the belief which comes from the very depths of my soul, which comes from basic religious conviction that the american people will stand up, that they will stand up for justice and fair play, and that they will respond to the call of on

the choice in this election is if america remains america. [applause] if in this moment in our generation, we will stand up for everything that has always made america unique and exceptional -- our commitment to freedom and liberty and justice for all, but i have to tell you, looking out at all of you, i know we are going to choose the path of freedom. we are going to choose the path of opportunity. 4 moregoing to choose years of president trump in the white house. [cheers and applause] and i believe it is going to happen because i see faces like yours everywhere i go. just like 4 years ago, when the pundits were all counting him out, i never did. because i was out traveling among the american people. in 2016. our campaign he would go to cities and literally draw tens of thousands of people. i would go to places and literally hundreds of people would show up. [laughter] same. was all the it was people who knew we could be strong again, who knew america could be respected again, could be standing tall again, and the great news is, as we travel

pence: good, america. to youn honor to speak tonight from the hallowed grounds of fort mchenry, the site of the very battle that inspired the words of our national anthem. those words have inspired this land of heroes in every generation since. 6 yearson this site 20 ago when our young republic heroically withstood a ferocious naval bombardment from the most powerful empire on earth. they came to crush our revolution, to divide our nation , and to end the american experiment. the heroes who held this fort took their stand for life, liberty, freedom, and the american flag. and those ideals have to defined our nation. but they were hardly ever mentioned in last week's democratic national convention. instead, democrats spent four attacking america. joe biden said that we were living through a season of darkness, but as president trump said, where joe biden sees we seen darkness, american greatness. [applause] these challenging times, our country needs a president who believes in america, who believes in the b

america. we will choose hope over fear, fact over fiction, fairness over privilege. i'm a proud democrat, and i will be proud to carry the banner of our party to the general election. so it is with great honor and humility i accept this nomination for president of the united states of america. but while i'll be a democratic candidate, i'll be an american president. i will work hard for those who did not support me -- as hard for them as i did for those who did vote for me. that is the job of a president, to represent all of us, not just our base or our party. this is not a partisan moment. this must be an american moment. it's a moment that calls for hope and light and love -- hope for our future, light to see our way forward, and love for one another. america isn't just a collection of clashing interests, of red states or blue states. we are so much bigger than that. we are so much better than that. nearly a century ago, franklin roosevelt pledged a new deal in a time of massive unemployment,

we will defend america against all threats and protect america against all dangers. we will lead america into new frontiers of ambition, and discovery. we will reach for a new it new heights of national achievement. we will rekindle new faith in our values, new pride in our history, and a new spirit of unity that can only be realized through love for our great country. because we understand that america is not a land cloaked in darkness, america is the torch that enlightens the entire world. gathered here at our beautiful and majestic white house, known all over the world is the people's house, we cannot help, but marvel at the miracle that is our great american story. this has been the home of larger-than-life figures like teddy roosevelt, and andrew jackson who rallied america two bold visions of a bigger and brighter future. within these walls lived tenacious generals, like president grant, and eisenhower who led our soldiers in the cause of freedom. from these grounds, thomas jefferson sent lewis and clark on a daring expedition to cross a wild and uncharted cont

it is a sign-post toward that new america. it speaks of the issues of our time with passion for justice, with reverence for our history and our character, with a long view of the american future, and with a sober, fervent dedication to the goal of peace on earth. nor has it evaded the current problems in the relations between the races who comprise america, problems which have so often tormented our national life. of course, there is disagreement in the democratic party on desegregation. it could not be otherwise in the only party that must speak responsibly and responsively in both the north and the south. [applause] if all of us are not wholly satisfied with what we have said on this explosive subject, it is because we have spoken the only way a truly national party can, in by substituting realism and persuasion for the extremes of force and nullification.

bottom line, the left flames america first. the right puts america first. they want law and order back in america. in fact, the message of the man who chose to bring us out of the biden years, the man both our language and understand our pain and work to satisfy our needs. president trump's speech itself was a litany of this success his administration has achieved an compelling argument why joe biden cannot be elected president. >> make no mistake, if you give power to joe biden, the radical left will defund police departments all across america. they will pass federal legislation to reduce law enforcement nationwide. they will make every city look like democrat run portland, oregon. judge jeanine: was after the convention, the left were on full display with a stark difference between the left and right painfully apparent. the left intimidated, threatened and will menaced peaceful individuals as they left president trump's acceptance speech. the individuals were frightened for their lives. senator rand paul and his wife both frightened and terrified. here t
