00:00 And we have millions of illegals crossing our border.
00:08 And can you imagine that a bunch of them are not terrorists?
00:14 I mean, three years of open borders, if the terrorists are not coming here and planning
00:20 something, they're guilty of terrorist malpractice.
00:24 I'm sure they are doing something.
00:26 And we've got to get the right people back in place.
00:30 And you know, when they do do something, guess who they're going to blame it on?
00:33 They're going to say somehow that it's Trump's fault.
00:37 Everything in their opinion is Trump's fault.
00:39 Well, what is going to be his fault is bringing our country back again.
00:52 And you know, it wasn't that long ago that we had a secure southern border, that we were
00:58 energy independent, that people could put gas in their cars, they could put groceries
01:04 in their refrigerator.
01:07 And we had a leader who was willing to protect our freedom of speech.
01:12 Now we have people worried when they say something.
01:15 Am I going to be punished?
01:16 Am I going to be canceled?
01:19 I got to tell you something, we need the kind of leadership that will protect us.
01:25 And we also need courage ourselves.
01:29 You know, when I was running for president, I discovered that most of the American people
01:34 had common sense.
01:37 What they lacked was courage.
01:38 There were a lot of people who just looked at the floor and they won't say anything because
01:43 they don't want some negative repercussions.
01:46 But what we have to remember is that we cannot be the land of the free if we're not the home
01:53 of the brave.
01:58 But one man had the courage to take on a political establishment and give the people a voice
02:09 in Washington with no concern about what it would cost him.
02:13 You know, Donald Trump lost millions, if not billions of dollars.
02:19 And he's been attacked constantly and demonized.
02:24 And yet he's still there.
02:26 They haven't gotten rid of him.
02:28 They're trying to do everything in their power to get rid of him because he's the biggest
02:34 threat to the administrative state and to the swamp.
02:38 I don't call it a swamp.
02:39 I call it the cesspool.
02:40 And they will do anything possible to get rid of him because he's the existential threat
02:54 to their continuation of power.
02:57 So don't be surprised some of the other things that they're going to try.
03:02 But they see his poll numbers and they're really worried.
03:05 What those poll numbers tell me is that the American people are a lot smarter than they
03:09 think they are.
03:10 And they're able to -- the American people recognize that if the left is successful in
03:21 using the Justice Department and using our system of checks and balances in an aberrant
03:27 way to keep him from running or gaining the presidency, then we will have lost the republic.
03:36 You know, Benjamin Franklin was asked in 1787 after they finished the Constitutional Convention,
03:41 "Sir, what do we have here, a monarchy or a republic?"
03:45 He said, "A republic if you can keep it."
03:49 The way we can keep it is we can put Donald J. Trump back in office.
04:01 And as I stand here today, I want to offer my most confident and full endorsement of
04:09 Donald J. Trump because -- and Donald Trump -- Donald Trump believes in our freedom of
04:33 speech, freedom of religion, and the right to keep and bear arms.
04:43 Don't you get tired of those people who say you don't need a high-power weapon to go duck
04:47 hunting?
04:48 Well, the Constitution and the Second Amendment is not about duck hunting.
04:55 It's about the right of the people to protect themselves from an overly aggressive government.
05:00 And we don't want that to happen.
05:06 So we can fix our country, and we can make America great again.
05:12 And President Donald J. Trump is the person to do that.
05:15 So welcome to stage now my friend and your friend and a friend of America, Donald J.
05:23 Trump.
05:24 (Applause.)
