If Donald Trump has shown us anything, it's that when it feels impossible to keep going, those are the times we must keep going. As President Trump raised his fist and gave a rally cry on Saturday, now is our time to fight. He stood up and reminded us that our people and our country are always worth fighting for. It's real simple, he's done it before, and he'll do it again. If you want to seal the border, vote Trump. If you want to restore law and order in this country, vote Trump. If you want to reignite the economy in this country, vote Trump. If you want to revive national pride in this country, vote Trump. If you want to make America great again, vote Trump.

I'm Jim McCollum. I'm the father of Marine Lance Corporal Riley James McCollum and I'm here to speak for him. My name is Alicia Lopez. I'm Herman Lopez and we're the parents of our son Hunter Lopez, the U.S. Marine stationed in Camp Pendleton, San Diego, California. We passed away on August 26, 2021, in Kabul, Afghanistan. My name is Abby Sanchez and I am the voice for my brother Corporal Humberto Sanchez. My name is Coro Briseno and I am Corporal Humberto Sanchez' mother. My name is Steven Nakue. I'm here for my son Karim Nakue. I'm here today to give my son a voice. My name is Cheryl Jules. I am Sergeant Nicole G.'s aunt. She was a U.S. Marine that was killed in the Kabul, Afghanistan withdrawal. My name is Kristie Shamblin and I'm here for Sergeant Nicole G. United States Marine who was killed in the Afghanistan exit. My name is Kelly Barnett. I'm here to give a voice to my son, my best friend Staff Sergeant Taylor Hoover. And my name is Darren Hoover and I'm here to give voice as well for our son Staff Sergeant Taylor Hoover. When we started hearing that the Taliban was moving in, that there wasn't more military being deployed, and that they had decided that the Taliban was our security, that was when I became terrified. They were just kind of left there, hung out to dry. ...from Afghanistan where there are significant casualties, including some Americans from Afghanistan who were attacked outside the country. I heard about it instantly, had that just chill go through me, and I started sending messages. I'm talking to people, I'm calling his girlfriend, I'm saying, "Have you heard from him? Calling his sisters, have you heard from him?" You know, we're texting, we're saying, "Please, just send us a text, just whatever. Just let us know that you're okay." All the explosions went off, I had messaged her and I said, "Hey, I know you can't say anything, but just an emoji, just a bubble." And then 3.30 in the morning that night, I got the knock on the door. You know, there's no other reason two Marines are standing on your door. Right away they told you, "We have news about your son," and he just passed away. I just start screaming, I throw myself on the floor. I pull up the street and I see a white van, and once I saw them, I knew. It's surreal. Seeing all those flag-draped coffins in the back of a C-17 is something you'll never forget. And it really drives home that these young men and women gave the ultimate sacrifice. They had all the families within this large room. The president showed up and that was, it wasn't what I was expecting. You know, this guy's sitting across from me on that tarmac and he keeps looking at his watch. Biden did not want to be there. I don't know what he wanted to do, but he did not want to be there. He looked at his watch multiple times. I saw it three times. He didn't say anything about Riley, and to this day, he has yet to say those 13 kids' names. And that makes me so upset because those kids were serving their country. Those kids, they were giving their life for this country, and I always said they were thinking that their commander in chief was going to have their back because they were fighting for this country and that didn't happen. The administration, the White House, our president has never once mentioned their names, not one of them. Honestly, I don't feel like Joe Biden cared. He just had no empathy for us at all. I do think incompetence played a huge factor in what happened. Bad decision, bad leadership, and it all starts at the top. Joe Biden should not be leading this country. There was no point in making that hard deadline August 31st. It was 100 percent a political stunt. He let my son down. He let the 13 down. He let the 45 wounded down. He let those 174 civilians down. He let our country down. And then what it hurts the most is that they could be here. We fully understand we can't bring back our kids, but there are thousands and thousands more out there that are going to come home the same way if something doesn't change. We're the United States of America. We can do better by our men and women that are risking their lives for this country. We can do better for them than that. To this day, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have never mentioned these fallen soldiers' names.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome World War II hero, William Packrell. Thank you very much. My name is Bill Packrell, I'm a proud Wisconsinite, proud -- I'm a proud husband of 76 years old and my wife Rosemary. I'm a father of 11 children, six girls, five boys. Our family across five generations and a proud World War II veteran. I'm 98 years old, some call us the greatest generation. That's an honor considering America is the greatest nation in the history of the world. I will never forget and witness the horror of the Nazis war camps. From the Battle of the Bulge, my friends and I fought to stop the Nazis last major portion of the Western Front. If you went later, Hitler was dead, the Nazis were defeated. And we gave thanks to Almighty God for delivering us from evil. But not many of us came home. I still miss a lot of my friends on that beach. There were many of us left, there aren't many of us left today. But for us, those of us who are here, that America is still worth fighting for. It hurts my heart to see what our current president and vice president have done to the country I loved so well. They humiliated us in Afghanistan. We pushed around in China, terrorists from wild in the Middle East, and they let our own southern border get overrun. America, people say, America is an idea, but I believe America is much more than that. America is our home. You know, when I was fighting in Europe and I came back home, I kissed a girl, thanking God that I'm back home in my country. And where I come from, when somebody comes for me or my home, you dig in your boots and the ground and never look back. That's the attitude that saved the free world both years ago. And President Trump, back in Commander-in-Chief, I would go back to the re-enlist today, and I would storm whatever beach my country wanted me to, by the time God bless you, God bless your home and the United States of America.

Trump has left the building. We can now project the winner of the presidential race. Donald Trump wins the presidency. What started off as unlikely as impossible is now reality. I will fight for you with every breath in my body, and I will never, ever let you down. We have a president who actually fulfilled the promises he made during the campaign. She's securing the border to foreign policy. She now has a record as president. It's pretty damn impressive. Breaking news out of whole new floor. The FBI has executed an unprecedented search warrant at President Donald Trump against a former president. The former president has both sides of the political aisle up in our... He is the dangerous and unstable moment in American history. The Justice Department has just indicted former President Donald Trump. For seven years, they hated him, they targeted him, they hunted him. This is the epitome of the abuse of the prosecutorial power to preempt political decisions. I never thought anything like this could happen in America. The only crime that I have committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it. The more that a broken system tells you that you're wrong, the more certain you should be that you must keep pushing ahead. They want to take away my freedom because I will never let them take away your freedom. They want to silence me because I will never let them silence you. They're not coming after me, they're coming after you, and I just happen to be standing in their way and I will never be moving. On November 5th, 2024, justice will be done. We will take back our country and we will make America great again. America will always rise to every challenge and overcome every danger. Donald Trump seems to always get stronger when challenged. These types of things, I think, give him strength. When I'm reelected, I will totally obliterate the deep state. As long as we have pride in our beliefs, courage in our convictions, and faith in our God, then we will not fail.

ladies and gentlemen please welcome the next president of the United States president Donald J Trump like the light, the chicken side of the dog, and man she's a boss of the water, my Bible said no, man's a ark, this is a man's world. This is a man's world, man's world, man's world, man's world, man's world, man's world. [Music] Man thinks about a little bit of baby girl and a baby boy. Man thinks I'm happy, but man, make some toys after. Man, make everything he can. Man, look at the lyrics, take your shoulders, dog, loop it.
