soldiers who sacrifice so much to protect all of us around the world. police, first responders, risking life and limb for us. medical workers, custodians, front lines against covid-19. before tonight's show i actually had the honor of meeting many of them that you will meet tonight. the factory workers, the truckers, the farmers, growry store workers, everyone else never took a day off, kept this country open during the worst pandemic in 100 years. to forget what you heard in last week's mean-spirited dnc, united states of america is god's gift to mankind. here in this country, we all know anything is possible. this hour will be commercial free. my interruptions will be minimal, i can't think of anything more important than to honor our fellow great americans. there can be no pursuit of happy noz without law and order. the violent rise in wisconsin, around the country were a unacceptable, murder rates in america's inner cities are unacceptable. liberal governors and mayors need to cooperate with federal assistance. the bloodshed, violence must be stopped. the president has been ready, willing to do anything, and whatever it takes to restore law and order and safety and security to make it a safe country for every american living in every neighborhood. all right, we'll go right back to the convention. our first speaker up is kayleigh mcenany, press secretary of the president of the united states. when a great personal story, and so much more as we begin tonight's coverage, night three of the republican national convention. in fort mchenry, baltimore, maryland. thank you for being with us, commercial free hour, straight ahead. >> president trump granted a full pardon to susan b. anthony on the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment ratification. women's sufferage was born from a desire for the desire to fight for freedom offers this. we the great patriots band together once again and with one unified voice we will vote for freedom. >> i'm kayleigh mcenany. you know he as a supporter of president trump. i'm here to show you how he supported me as a new mom and as an american with a pre-existing condition. when i was 21 years old i got a call that changed my life. it was my doctor, informing me that i had tested positive for the jeanetgenetic mutation, a mn that put my chances of breast cancer at 84%. it was the same mutation that my mom had, compelling her to get a double mastectomy. removing her breast, but protecting her from a disease that has taken far too many of our mothers, our sisters, our friends. in my family, eight women alone were diagnosed with breast cancer. several in their young 20s. i now faced the same prospect. to for nearly a decade i was routinely at the cancer center getting mris, ultrasound and necessary surveillance. during the visits, i crossed paths with brave women battling cancer and fighting through chemotherapy. they were a testament to american strength. they are american heros. on may 1, 2018, i followed in my mother's footsteps. choosing to get a preventive mastectomy. i was scared, and the night before i fought back tears. as i prepared to lose a piece of myself forever. but the next day, with my mom, dad, husband, and jesus christ by my side i underwent a mastectomy. almost eliminating my chance of breast cancer, a decision i now celebrate. breast reconstruction has advanced remarkably. while it is an individual decision, my doctor and i chose a course of surgery that left me virtually unchanged. but more than physical results, i developed a strength and a confidence that i carry with me. during one of my most difficult times, i expected to have the support of my family. but i had more support than i knew. as i came out of thesia, one of the first calls -- anesthesia, one of the first calls i received was from i vank a trump. my phone rang again, it was president trump calling to check on me. i was blown away. here was the leader of the free world caring about my circumstance. at the time, i had only met president trump on a few occasions. but now, i know him well. and i can tell you that this president stands by americans with pre-existing conditions. in fact, president trump called me this morning, i spoke with him several times today, and he told me how proud he was of me for sharing this story. the same way president trump has supported me, he supports you. i see it every day. i've heard him say the hardest part of his job is writing to loved ones of fallen soldiers. i've seen him offer heart-felt outreach to grieving parents who lost their children to crime in the street. and i have watched him fight for americans who lost their jobs. president trump fights for the american people, because he cares about stories like these. i have a 9-month-old daughter. she's a beautiful, sweet little girl. and i choose to work for this president for her. when i look into my baby's eyes i see a new life. a miracle. for which i have a solemn responsibility to protect. that means protecting america's future, a future president trump will fight for. where our neighborhoods are protected, where lifeix sacred. where god -- life is sacred. god is cherished. not taken out of the schools, removed from the pledge and erased from our history. i want my daughter to grow up in president donald j. trump's america. choosing to have a preventtive mastectomy was the hardest decision i had to make. but supporting president trump, who will protect my daughter and our children's future, was the easiest. plaintiff. >> grek, i'm karen pence. my husband is vice president mike pence. 1 hnl years ago today the 19th amendment was adopted into the united states constitution guaranteeing women the right to note. because of heros like susan b. anthony and lucy stone, women today like our daughters audrey and charlotte, and future generations will have their voices heard and their votes count. the women sufferage movement was the gateway that led to women having the opportunity to achieve monumental milestones and accomplish significant achievement in both civic and governmental roles. this evening, we look at heros in our land. as second lady of the united states for the past 3 1/2 years, i have had the honor of meeting many heros across this great country. the pences are a military family. our son, michael, serves in the united states marines and our son-in-law, henry, serves in the u.s. navy. and one of my key initiatives is to elevate and encourage military spouses. these men and women like our daughter, charlotte, and our daughter-in-law sarah are the home front heros. i have been privileged to hear so many stories of selfless s port, volunteer spirit, and great contributions to the armed forces and our communities. military spouses make frequent moves and job changes. periods of being a single past while their loved one is destroyed. all while exhibiting pride, strength, and determination. and being a part of something bigger than themselves. to all of the military spouses, thank you. president trump and vice president pence have supported our armed forces including our military families on a significant scale. while traveling throughout our nation, to educate military spouses, about policy solutions that president trump has promoted, involving real, tangible progress in military spouse employment, i have been inspired to meet heros like lisa bradley and cameron cruz. these military spouses beside to start their own business, r riveter, named after the rhodesie the riveter campaign used to recruit women. they make beautiful handbags, designed by military spouses exclusively, many of those spouses will all over the country. they prepare and send their section of the bag to the company located in north carolina where the final product is assembled. military spouse hero jilan hall johnson in billings, montana is a culinary artist who dreamed of starting her own restaurant. working with the small business administration development center, she started her restaurant, the sassy biscuit, and just opened a second restaurant in dover, new hampshire. as second lady i've brought awareness to a form of therapy for our heroic veterans suffering from ptsd. art therapy facilitated by a professional art therapist is especially effective with post traumatic stress disorder. master gunnery sergeant chris stowe, marine veteran i met in tampa, de tlo employed for combat in iraq and afghanistan said nothing helped him deal with the trauma from his service in the marines until he finally agreed to meet with the art therapist at walter reed medical center. chris credits art therapy with saving his marriage and his life, and chris went on to establish a glass blowing wo workshop to help other veterans. many struggle as they transition into civilian life and sometimes the stress is too difficult to manage alone. a few weeks ago, i had the honor of speaking with some amazing americans who answer the veterans crisis line. one in particular, sydney morgan, especially impacted me. a veteran herself, sydney said it is the highest honor of her life until they physically walk into a clinic to receive help they deserve, and she can cast their hand to some one ready to help. we have all seen everyday americans reaching out a hand in need. those in humility considered others more important than themselves. we have seen healthcare workers, teachers, first responders, mental health providers, law enforcement officers, grocery and delivery workers, and farmers. and so many others. heros all. 100 years ago women secured the right to vote. so let's vote, america, let's honor our heros, let's re-elect president trump and vice president pence for four more years. god bless our heros and god bless the united states of america. >> we hold these truths to be self evident, all men are created equally. endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. >> good evening. i'm kellyanne kol way. 100 -- conway. 100 years ago kur ageous warriors -- cower rageous warriors helped women secure the vote. our democracy is young and fragile. a woman in leadership role can still seem novel. not so for president trump. for decades he's elevated women to senior positions in businessnd in government he con fiedz in and consults us, respects our opinions, and insists that we are on equal footing with the men. president trump helped me shat area barrier in the world of politics, by empowering me to manage his campaign to a successful conclusion. with the help of millions of americans, our team defied the critics, the naysayers, the conventional wisdom, and we won. for many of us, women empowerment is not a slogan. it comes not from strangers on social media or sanitized language in a corporate handbook. it comes from the everyday heros who nurture us, shape us, and believe in us. i was raised in a household of all women. they were self reliant and resilient. their lives were not easy. but they never complained. money was tight but we had an abundance of what mattered most -- family, faith, and freedom. i learned that in america limited means does not make for limited dreams. the promise of america, belongs to us all. this is a land of inconvenient terse and innovators, of entrepreneurs and educators, of pioneers and parents. each contributing to the success and the future of a great nation and her people. these rday heros every a champion in president trump. the teacher, who took extra time to help students adjust to months of virtual learning. the nurse who finished a 12-hour covid shift and then took a brief break only to change her mask, gown, and gloves to do it all over again. the small business owner striving to reopen after the lockdown was lifted. and then again after her store was vanldlized and looted. the single mom with two kids, two jobs, two commutes who ten years after that empty promise finally has health insurance. president trump and vice president pence have lifted americans, provided them with dignity, opportunity, and results. i have seen first hand many times the president comforting and encouraging a child who has lost a past, a past who has lost a child. a worker who lost his job, an adolescent who lost her way to drugs. don't lose hope he's told them. assuring them they are not alone and that they matter. they're always -- there always will be people who have far more than us. our responsibility is to focus on those who have far less than us. president trump has done precisely that in taking unprecedented action to combat the nation's drug crisis. he told me this is so important, kellyanne, so many lives have been ruined by adings and will never even know it -- addiction and we'll never know it, people are ashamed to reach out for help. they aren't sure who to turn to in their toughest hour. rather than look the other way, president trump stared directly at the drug crisis next door and to landmark bipartisan legislation has helped secure historic investments in surveillance, interdiction, education, prevention, treatment, and recovery. we has a long way to go. but the political inertia that costs lives and the silence and the stigma that prevents people in need from coming forward is melting away. this is the man i know, and the president we need for four more years. he picks the toughest fights and tackles the most complex problems. he has stood by me. and he will stand up for you. in honor of the women who empowered me and for the future of the children we all cherish, thank you and god bless you always. srng three powerful speeches -- espn three powerful speeches, fix the woman to manage a winning presidential campaign. continue from fort mchenry. she will be stepping out of her role. our coverage continues. >> the little workers and the sacred hearts of jeeseous and mary. last fourth of july i was honored to be a president's guest at his salute to america celebration. i must confess that i recently prayed while in chapel weging me to be a voice, instrument for human life. now here i am, speaking at the republican national convention. i guess you better be careful what you pray for. my journey through this life is not a traditional route in there's such a thing. in 1978 as a medical school student at georgetown university, i joined the army to help pay for my tuition. and ended up devoting 29 years to the military, serving as a doctor and surgeon in places like afghanistan and egypt, the sinai peninsula. after much prayer and contemplation i entered my religious order in 2002, working to serve the poor and the sick in haiti, sudan, kenya, iraq, and washington, d.c. humility is at the foundation of our order which makes it difficult to talk about myself. i can speak about my experience working for those fleeing war-torn and impoverished countries all around the world. those refugees share a common experience. they have been all marginalized, viewed as insignificant, powerless and voiceless. and while we tend to think of the marginalized as living beyond our bore dpers the truth is the largest marginalized group in the world can be found here in the united states. they are the unborn. as christians we first met jesus as a stirring embryo in the womb of an unborn mother and saw him born in the poverty of a cave. it's no coincidence that jesus stood up for what was just and ultimately crucified because what he said wasn't politically correct or fashionable. as followers of christ we are called to stand up for life against the politically correct or fashionable of today. we must fight against the legislative agenda that supports and even celebrates destroying life in the womb. keep in mind the laws we create define how we see our humanity. and we must ask ourselves what are we saying when we go into a womb and snuff out an innocent, powerless voice's life. as a physician i can say without hesitation life begins at conception. while what i have to say may be difficult for some to hear i am saying it because i'm not just pro-life, i'm pro eternal life. i want all of us to end up in heaven together some day. which brings me to why i'm here today. donald trump is the most pro-life president that this nation has ever had, defending life at all stages. his life in the sanctity of life trance dend. he will stand up against biden-harris who are the most anti-life ever. because of his courage and conviction, president trump has earned the support of america's pro-life community. moreover, he has a nationwide religious standing behind him. you'll find us with our weapon of choice, the rosary. thank you mr. president, we're all praying for you. >> i'm lou holtz. many of you know me as coach holtz, maybe that football guy. it is a pleasure, a blessing and an honor, for me to explain why i believe that president trump is a consistent winner. an outstanding leader. and deserves to be re-elected as our president. first, i want you to know that i grew up in a one-bedroom house in west virginia. i may have been poor but the lessons my parents taught me were priceless. they taught me that life is about making choices. wherever you are, good or bad, don't blame anyone else. go get an education, get to work. you can overcome any obstacle. always remember, that in this great country of ours anyone can amount to something special. i live by those principles of hard work, and responsibility my whole life. living of the the american story, and it works. but there are people today like politicians, professors, protesters, and of course president trump's nay-sayers in the media who like to blame others for problems. they don't have pride in our country. they make us say no longer ask, what can i do for my country. only what the country should be doing for them. they don't have pride in themselves. that's wrong. when i was an officer in the army, i served with so many great americans who embraced the responsibilities of our country. i'm so proud of their sacrifices and the opportunity that it provided for so many millions. america remains a land of opportunity, no matter what the other side says or believes. you know, there's a statue of me at notre dame. i guess they needed a place for the pigeons to land. but if look closely, you will see these three words there. trust, commitment, and love. all my life, i have made my choices based on these three words. i used these three rules to make choices about everything. my beloved wife of 59 years, as i coached, and politicians. even president trump. i asked myself three thing. one, can i trust them. when a leader tells me something you got to be able to count on it. that is president trump. he says what he means, he means what he says. and he's done what he said he would do at every single turn. one of the important reasons he has my trust, is because nobody has been a stronger advocate for the unborn than president trump. the biden-harris ticket is the most radically pro abortion campaign in history. they and other politicians are catholic in name only. abandoned innocent lives. president trump protects those lives. i trust president trump. the second question i ask is are they committed to doing their very best. president trump, always finds a way to get something done. if you want to do something bad enough, you will find a way. if not, you will find an excuse. and excuses are a lot easier to find than solutions. . trump finds solutions, he's committed. the third question i ask is do they love people, do they care about others. to me this is very clear. president trump has demonstrated through his prison reform, advocating for school choice, and welfare reform. he wants americans from all walks of life to have the opportunity to see and live the american dream. president trump loves our country and our great people. trust, commitment, and love. president trump we have a president we can trust. who works hard at making america greater. and who genuinely cares about people. if i apply this test to joe biden, i can't say yes to any of these three questions. i used to ask our athletes at notre dame if you did not show up, who would miss you and why. can you imagine what would happen to us if president trump had not shown up in 2016 to run for president. i'm so glad he showed up. thank you for showing up, mr. president. i encourage everyone who loves this country, who loves america, to show up in november for president trump. thank you. >> i'm michael mchale, active member of law enforcement in florida and president of the national association of police organizations. our organization recently endorsed donald trump for re-election as president of the united states. our endorsement recognized his strong support for the men and women on the front lines, particularly during these challenging times. we val oh his support -- we value his support of aggressive prosecution of those who attack our police officers. lis signing of the law enforcement mental health and wellness act and his support for permanently authorizing funds to support 9/11 first responders and their families. law enforcement officers across the nation take an oath to run towards danger when everyone else is running away. they do so willingly to protect our families and communities. i'm proud that the overwhelming majority of american police officers are the best of the best and put their lives on the line without hesitation. and good officers need to know their elected leaders, and the department brass, have their backs. unfortunately, chaos results when failed officials in cities like portland, minneapolis, chicago, and new york make the conscious decision not to support law enforcement. murders, looting, rioting occur unabated. the violence and bloodshed we see in these and other cities isn't happening by chance. it's the direct result of refusing to allow law enforcement to protect our communities. joe biden has turned his candidacy over to the far left anti-law enforcement radicals. kamala harris pushed to purchase they are restrict police, cut their training, and make our american communities and streets even more dangerous than they already are. conversely. trump supports the creation of the national standard for training on deescalation and communication to give officers more tools to resolve conflict without violence. the differences between trump-pence and biden-harris are crystal clear. your choices are the most pro law enforcement president we've ever had, or the most radical anti-police ticket in history. we invite those who value the safety of their family and loved ones to join the hundreds of thousands of members of the national association of police organizations and support the re-election of president donald j. trump. thank you and god bless america. >> i'm congresswoman e lease stefanik proud to represent the new york area. brave patriots fought in the battles of saratoga to turn the tide of the revolutionary war. where 40 years ago in lake placid, a team of amateur hockey players outhustled, outskated, and defeated the soviet union stunning the world and giving up the unforgettable miracle on ice. home to fort drumm and the tenth mountain division the most deployed unit in the u.s. army since 9/11, i saw first hand president trump graciously thank and honor our men and women in uniform and sign the largest pay raise for our troops in a decade. since our nation's founding generation after generation of everyday americans served and sacrificed to preserve and strengthen the american dream. the vision of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and the idea that if you work hard and dream big, you can achieve anything you imagine. i believe in the american dream because i lived it. like millions of americans, i grew up in a small business family where i learned the values of hard work and determination. i was the first person in my immediate family to graduate from college, ran for congress to serve upstate new york, and am proudly the youngest republican woman elected to congress in history. i am honored to support president trump for re-election because i know that he is the only candidate who will stand up for hard working families and protect the american dream for future generations. since his first day in office, president trump has fought tirelessly to deliver results for all americans, despite the democrats' baseless and illegal impeachment sham and the media's endless obsession with it. i was proud to lead the effort standing up for the constitution. president trump, and most importantly the american people. this attack was not just on the president. it was an attack on you, your voice and your vote. but the american people were not swayed by the partisan attacks. our support for president trump is stronger than ever before. we know what's at stake in this historic election. americans from all walks of life are unified in support of our president. more republican women than ever are running for office this year. we understand that this election is a choice between the far left democratic socialist agenda versus protecting and preserving the american dream. president trump is working to safely reopen our main street economy. he understands that the engine of our country is fuelled by the ingenuity and determination of american workers, entrepreneurs, and small businesses. joe biden wants to keep them locked up in the basement and crush them with $4 trillion in new taxes. we face a critical choice. joe biden's far left failed policies of the past 47 years, or president trump who will stand up for the american people and the constitution. i believe in the wisdom and spirit of the american people to elect the only candidate who is capable of protecting the american dream. president donald j. trump. thank you to the north country for the opportunity to serve as your voice supporting his re-election. god bless the united states of america, the greatest country on earth. >> good evening, i'm madison hawthorne, running to represent north carolina's 11ed congressional district. this is a time of great adversity for our country and i know something about adversity. at 18 years old, i was in a horrific car accident that's left me paralyzed from the waist down. instantly, my hopes and dreams were seemingly destroyed. i was given a 1% chance of surviving. but thanks to the power of prayer, very loving community and many skilled doctors, i made it. it tack me over a year to recover. my first public outing in a wheelchair was to a professional baseball game. you know, before my accident i was 6'3". i stood out in a crowd. but as i wheeled through the stadium i felt invisible. at 20, i thought about giving up. however, i knew i could still make a difference. my accident has given me new eyes to see and new ears to hear. god protected my mind and my ability to speak. so i say to people who feel forgotten, ignored and invisible, i see you. i hear you. at 20, i made a choice and 2020 our country has a choice. we can give up on the american ideal or we can work together to make our imperfect union more perfect. i choose to fight for the future, to creed the high ground and retake the shiny city on a hall. while the radical left wants to dismantle the fund and destroy, republicans under president trump's leadership want to rebuild, restore and renew. i just turned 25. when i'm elected this november i will be the youngest member of congress in over 200 years. and if you don't think young people can change the world, then you just don't know american history. george washington was 21 when he received his first military commission. abe lincoln, 22 when he first ran for office. my personal favorite, james madison, 25 years old when he signed the declaration of independence. in times of peril, young people have stepped up and saved this country, abroad and at home. we held the line, scaled the cliffs, crossed oceans, liberated camps, and cracked codes. yet today, political forces want to usher in the digital dark ages. a time of information without wisdom. and tribalism without truth. national leaders on the left have normalized emotion-based voting and radicalized identity politics that rejects martin luther king's dream. mlk's dream is our dream. for all americans to be judged solely on their character. millions of people risk their lives every year to come here, they believe in the team of mlk and the american dream. join us as we, the party of freedom, double down on ensuring the american dream for all people. committed to building a new town square, welcoming all ideas and all people. here we will have freedom of speech not freedom fro speech. to liberals, have a conversation. be a true liberal, listen to other ideas and let the best one prevail. to conservatives, i say let's define what we support and win the argument. areas like healthcare, on the environment. and this new town square, you don't to have apologize for your beliefs. or could youer to a mob. you kneel before god but stand for the flag. the american idea, my ancestors fought for during the revolutionary war, is just as exciting and revolutionary today as it was 250 years ago. i say to americans who love our country, young and old, be a radical for freedom. be a radical for liberty. be a radical for our republic, for which i stand. one nation, under god, with liberty and justice for all. thank you and may god bless america. >> sean: wow, madison cawthorne, live at fort mchenry tonight, tonight's theme america land of heros, vice president pence, donald trump expected any moment as we continue coverage from fort mchenry. >> college professor, coach, husband, son and father. i'm also a lifelong democrat but i support donald trump. let me be clear. i didn't come here for the popularity or the praise, the lights or the retweets. i'm here as a servant of god. a servant to the people of our nation and a servant to our president. i grew up in texas, a town that my great grandfather was the first black community member to settle and share cropper. early high school experience included fighting with skinheads and being the witness in an attempted murder trial after my friend shot a skinhead in self-defense. i remember my dad's bravery when he stood up against a kkk rally in my town. in my house, my father taught me to back down for no one. i know what racism looks like. i've seen it first hand. america it has no resemblance to president trump. and i'm fed up with the way he is important trade in the media. who refuse to acknowledge what he's actually done for the black community. it's confusing the minds of our innocent children. before i left to come to deliver this message my energetic 8-year-old son, jackson, stopped me and said, dad, can you please just tell everyone that all lives need to matter, and that god loves everyone. i realized that my 8-year-old had figured out what so many adults have seemed to have forgotten, we are not as divided as our politics suggest. at some point for the sake of our children, the policy must take priority over the personality. so because you have an issue with president trump's tone you are going to allow biden and harris to deny our underserved black and brown children school choice? are we so offended by the president's campaign slogan, make america great again, we're going to ignore that joe biden and andca kamala have locked up hundreds of black men for nonviolent crimes. going to allow the media to lie to you by claiming that he says there are very fine white supremacists in char slotsville? that's a lie. and ignore the black lives matter organization that openly, on their website, call for the destruction of the nuclear family. my fellow americans, our families need each other. we need black fathers in the homes with their wives and children. the future of our community depends on it. running inner city youth programs and teach across america. the inmates at my federal prison program receive days off their sentence just for attending my class. thanks to president donald trump and his first step act. president trumped about these americans and their families even when so many others have left them behind and have written them off. i'm forever grateful for president trump for that. he endures relentless attacks and so do many of us, like myself, who support him. but my mama always told me when the lord starts blessing, the devil starts messing. this convention marks a time to celebrate our history. republicans, are the party that freed the slaves. and the party that put the first black men and women in congress. it's a party of frederick douglas and abraham lincoln. now, tim scott and donald trump. our president has made massive strides for mass incarceration and getting black americans to rise. america, let this election be a call for all god's people who are called by his name to humble ourselves and pray together, and to seek his face and to turn from our wicked ways. then he will hear us from heaven and he will forgive our since and he will heal our land. amen, and god bless america. ♪ 6 >> greetings. my name is kwang kong kim. standing up to tyranny is not easy. i know. when i spoke out against china's one child policy, and other injustices, i was prosecuted, beaten, sent to prison and put under house arrest by the chinese communist party, the ccp. april 2005, i escaped and found shelter in the american embassy in beijing. i'm forever grateful to the american people for bling bringing me and my family to the united states where we are now free. ccp is an enemy of the humanity. it is terrorizing its own people and it is threatening the well being of the world. in china, expressing belief or ideas not approved by the ccp, democracy, human rights, can lead to prison. the u.s. must use its values of freedom, democracy, and the role of law to counter the unleashing of the democracy to stop ccp's aggression. president trump has led this, and we need the other countries to join him in this fight. a fight for our future. sfachbding up isn't easy. i know. so does president trump. but he has shown the courage to lead that fight. we need to support, vote, and fight for president trump for the sake of the world. thank you. >> i'm congressman lee zelvin. as we celebrate america as a land of heros i'm at a vfo post of heros in west hampton beach, new york. i've seen amazing americans in action, raised in a law enforcement family, deployed to iraq as an 82nd airborne paratrooper and serving in the army reserve. my generation, of post-9/11 veterans, has huge shoes to fill. following our greatest generation. i fought tyranny, and saved the world. all over our country, everyday heros serve and sacrifice for the greater good. farmer, truckers, drafts men, the heros keep america running. craftsmen. president trump fights for them every day. this year we have especially relied on one particular group of heros, front line medical workers. my twin daughters, michaela and arianna, were born over 14 weeks airily. they weighed just a pound and a half. at two weeks, michaela went into septic shock, had a stroke, and underwent brain surgery leaving one-third of the left side of her brain a hole. her doctors didn't believe michaela would survive. fearing dire permanent consequences even if she did. through the miracles of modern medicine, power the prayer, and her will to live my daughters are now starting high school and doing great. with no long-term effects from those frightful months in the nicu. when i learned my county's ppe stockpile was depleted i immediately thought of those healthcare workers who saved my baby girls. jared kushner and i were on the phone late into that saturday night. the very next day, president trump announced he was sending us 200,000n-95 masks. he actually delivered almost 400,000. that number quickly grew to 1.2 million. masks, gowns, and more. the president sent thousands of ventilators to new york. he deployed the uss comfort and converted the javitz center to a field hospital. his administration authorized our lab testing requests at blinding speed. during the once in a century pandemic, an unforeseeable crisis, sent to us from a far away land, the president's effort for new york was phenomenal. for our nation, to emerge even stronger, more prosperous, freer, and more secure than ever. to make our country greater than ever before, we must re-elect president trump. we are the land. free because of the brave. we are the land of opportunity because we have a president who wants to

could do it i would do it all over again. especially for this president. he's the kind of president you run through a brick wall if he asked you to. >> there have been many presidents but this one i can say is the best president we've ever had and ever will have. >> hello, everyone, thank you for inviting me into your home this evening. it's truly a privilege. my name is joanie earns the. i was raised on a small family warm in iowa where i learned the importance of faith, hard work, and service. i worked my way thu college and dedicated my life to serving my country. as a local official of italian commander in the military, and as a u.s. senator. service, it's more than a word to me. it's a mission, a way of life. it's what brought me to cedar rapids, iowa in 2008 when i was in the national guard. we saw historic floods that swept through the communities. we lent a helping hand to our fellow iowians who were literally under water. we thought we had seen the worst, but 12 years later these same communities have faced an even more devastating disaster. the recent storm. if you don't live in iowa, you may not have heard much about it at first. while reporters here in the state were in the trenches covering the equivalent of a category 2 hurricane, most of the national media looked the other way. to them, iowa is still just flyover country. houses, farms were destroyed. about one-third of our crops here were damaged. in some cases these storms wiped out a lifetime of work, and yet iowa farmers didn't hesitate to grab their chainsaws and check on their neighbors. our farmers live every day with that sense of service. the stewards of the land. the ones who feed and fuel the world. president trump quickly signed an emergency declaration for iowa to provide relief. and of course when president trump came to cedar rapids, the national media finally did too. for years, i've worked closely with the president for farmers in iowa and across the country. we have scrapped obama and biden's punishing waters of the united states rule which would have regulated about 97% of land in iowa. in some cases even puddles. it would have been a nightmare for farmers. the president delivered on major trade deals with japan, and the united states-mexico-canada agreement. and he implemented the sale of e-15 fuel year-round. that means more choices for you at the pump, and more jobs for farmers in the heartland. this is something the obama-biden administration failed to do in eight years. in fact, i can't recall an administration more hostile to farmers than obama-biden. unless you count the biden-harris ticket. the democratic party of joe biden is pushing the so-called green new deal. if given power, they would essentially ban animal agriculture and eliminate gas-powered cars. it would destroy the agriculture industry. not just in iowa, but throughout the country. when the pandemic hit president trump heard us and our call for assistance for our farmers. knowing we have an ally in the white house is important. folks, this election is a choice between two very different paths. freedom, prosperity, and economic growth under trump-penced a mshgs. -- administration. or the biden-harris platform, paved by radical environmentalists. where farmers are punished, taxes destroying the middle class. that is our choice and it's a clear one. thank you. and god bless. >> sean: joni ernst. we're live, we're at the historic fort mchenry. with u.s. congressional candidate burgess owens coming up in a few minutes. vice president pence, president trump has landed a few moments ago, 69 days away from law, order, safety, security, taxes, bureaucracy, open borders, secure borders, every single thing is on the ballot. foreign policy on

time. and please listen to your local authorities, they are very serious about this, going to be significant storm tonight. we'll have full coverage throughout the evening and all day tomorrow on the
