greatest threat is not from the outside of our country. I really believe this. It's from within. It's the people from within our country that are more dangerous than the people outside. We can handle China. We can handle Russia. We can handle all of them if you have a smart leader. But the inside people are very dangerous. They're very sick people, in my opinion, in many cases. They're sick. I'm here today because I know that to achieve victory in this fight, just like in the battles of the past, we still need the hand of our Lord and the grace of Almighty God. We have to have that. (Applause.) They're weaponizing law enforcement, two target parents, conservatives, and Catholics, Catholics. More than anybody, Catholics, what's going on with Catholics? Do we have any Catholics in this audience? Raise your hand, please. I just want to see. Not too many, but I will tell you, how the hell do you vote for this person? They have gone after Catholics. That's probably why we don't have any of this audience. There are none left. (Laughter.) But there's one sitting in first row, and he's a very important one, I will tell you. No, but how Catholics? I mean, they've been -- they're being persecuted. Catholics. What they cannot stand is that, in the end, we do not answer to bureaucrats in Washington. We answer to God in heaven. We do -- we answer to God in heaven. (Applause.) So today, I come before you as a friend and an ally and a fellow believer to ask for your help and your support and your prayers for this country. We need your prayers, most importantly. And I make you a simple promise. In my first term, I fought for Christians harder than any President has ever done before. You know that. You know that. And I will fight even harder for Christians with four more years than the White House. We did things at the likes of which nobody has ever done for Christians in this country, and I'm very proud of that. And I really believe it's the biggest thing missing from this country. It's the biggest thing missing. We have to bring back our religion. We have to bring back Christianity in this country. (Applause.) Thank you very much. Joe Biden, because of his gross incompetence, is a threat to democracy, a big threat to democracy. To reverse these monstrous abuses of power, the moment I win the election, I will appoint a special task force to rapidly review the cases of every political prisoner who has been unjustly victimized by the Biden regime. (Applause.) Never again will the federal government be used to target religious believers. They are target -- the other day, they wanted to take the name George Washington off of school, George Washington. When you lose George Washington, you've just about hit the bottom. That means everything comes off the names of buildings. Even the name Trump is going to be off the buildings. There won't be a Trump up there. I can guarantee you that. If Washington can't make it and Lincoln can't make it, I'm going to have a big problem having my name on buildings. But no one will be touching the cross of Christ under the Trump administration. I swear to you that will never happen. Never happen. (Applause.) I will stand proudly with our friend and ally the state of Israel. We will stand proudly with Israel. (Applause.) I will stop the disaster known as Bidenomics, and we will return to Megadomics, putting America first at all times. We will stop Biden's inflation nightmare. I will cut your taxes and regulations, and we will drill, baby, drill, our, our -- (Applause.) -- we have more than anybody. Remember that. More than anybody. Liquid gold, I call it. On day one, I will sign a new executive order to cut federal funding for any school, pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content onto our children. (Applause.) Thank you. I will support a policy of universal school choice, allowing parents to choose the public-private charter or religious school that that best suits their children. (Applause.) And I will support America's homeschool families, including allowing 529 education savings accounts to be used for homeschooling expenses up to $10,000 a year per child, completely tax-free. So you can do that if you like it. We also take historic action to defeat the toxic poison of gender ideology and restore the timeless truth that God created to genders male and female. (Applause.) So crazy. In God, we trust we will never change that motto. You know, there are many, many people that want to change that motto. That motto will never change. That motto will -- that motto will never change. It's a magnificent motto, and we've had it. And we're not going to let people talk about that. It will never change. Ladies and gentlemen, with your help and God's grace, the great revival of America begins on November 5th, 2024. (Applause.) It's a great revival. So, again, I want to thank you, and I want to thank the national religious broadcasters. I cannot state strongly enough what an incredible job you do. God bless you. And God bless America. Thank you very much. Thank you. (Applause.) Thank you. (Applause.) (Music.)

And we will get them, but I will not, not now, not ever, support raising the gas tax. Finally, let's increase the gas tax by 10 cents over the next three years. I would not run if President Trump ran. I'm Nikki Haley, and I'm running for president. Every person on social media should be verified by their name. I never said government should go and require anyone's name. That's false. But what we do know is 65 is way too low, and we need to increase that. Proclaiming the retirement age is "way, way too low." I have never once said that. I never said Hillary Clinton was an inspiration. I went with my friend, Eleanor Kitzman, to a firm and leadership program where Hillary Clinton was speaking. And I walked out of there, and I sent one for office.

This Saturday, the primary, how do you get there beyond the state when you haven't won a state yet? How do you win your first state? I mean, it's amazing to say I haven't won a state yet. You've only had three states that have voted. Well, it's not amazing. We need to go ahead and let these states... South Carolina's winner take all. I mean, it's... Yeah, but we need to let these states... She's going to pick up more delegates. South Carolinians have not voted yet. Kelly on your reaction. Lara, Lara, this is simple. You don't need to be a pollster or mathematician to know that Nikki Haley has lost 149 of the 151 counties that have voted so far. And for all the people out there, always screening about your election deniers, your election deniers, stop denying the election and the will of the people they've spoken. As of this Saturday, Nikki Haley will have lost to Donald Trump by double digits in all four major geographic areas, the Midwest, Iowa, the Northeast New Hampshire, the Rocky Mountain West, Nevada, and the South, South Carolina. I think she's giving way too much fodder to the Democrats and the hard left's ads that they're going to run in the fall. And I think it's regrettable that it's coming from a "Republican." Well, she's certainly helping Biden at this point. Kellyanne and Charlie, great to see both.

>> You know when you look at what these people have done to him, you know above board what they've openly done to him. You know and the price he has had to pay in the prices families had to pay for getting involved in politics and you know it's it's truly extraordinary and so you know I think that people are right to be worried about it. I know that I've asked him many times you know what you know why you got a great life why not just go back to your great life and that's the answer he always gives which is he really does care about the country and he's very worried and he thinks that you know the matter you know the amount of time we have left before these people absolutely destroy the country beyond repair and what we have seen in the last 3 years has been a perfect example of that these people are not going to stop until they completely destroy the country destroy our the way we do elections the fact they're trying to put him in jail, they're trying to bankrupt him they're trying to take everything away from him and his family in order to punish him for being a political enemy if if if democrats win and are allowed to run this election this way and I think Kellyanne would agree with this they will never run another election for the rest of time ever any other way this is how they will run all elections forever.

we need four more years of Donald Trump, four more years of low inflation, low crime, low unemployment and high enthusiasm. Four more years requires all of us to do our job. Vote for Donald Trump this Saturday, February 24th. Let's get this focused back on Joe Biden versus Donald Trump. Can't wait for four more years. See you soon.

remember that nothing worth doing is ever easy. You'll have bad moments. You gotta love what you're doing. And if you don't, just do something else. Keep standing up always for your values. Keep loving your country. And one of the most important things, never, ever quit. Never quit. Then ask yourself what imprint will you leave in the sands of history. What will future Americans say we did in our brief time right here on earth? Did we take risks? Did we dare to defy expectations? Did we challenge accepted wisdom and take on established systems? In my short time in Washington, I've seen firsthand how the system is broken. A small group of failed voices who think they know everything and understand everyone. Want to tell everybody else how to live and what to do and how to think. But you aren't going to let other people tell you what you believe, especially when you know that you're right. I know that each of you will be a warrior for the truth, will be a warrior for our country and for your family. I know that each of you will do what is right, not what is the easier way. And that you will be true to yourself and your country and your beliefs. Remember this, nothing worth doing ever, ever, ever came easy. Following your convictions means you must be willing to face criticism from those who lack courage or the guts or the stamina to take it and to do it. It's called the road less traveled.
