Trump delivers remarks at launch of 'Black Voices for Trump' coalition

thank you, thank you very much and thank you for your bravery to be here because in the society that we live in today it takes a lot of courage to say that you are supporting President Trump and you know it's very interesting how people I have tried to manipulate people and how to intimidate her and change her mind. This has been happening since we have been in the United States. You know, you go back to the days of slavery. You know, and in many states there were more slaves than there. They owned it, so what did they do?

They had to divide the slaves so that they would give the paw to those who are in the house, you are better than those who are in the yard now, why is it in a yard, you are better than those who are in the field and then? slavery ended, light skinned people, you are better than dark skinned people and I want to know what happened trying to divide people today they say if you are conservative then somehow you are an Uncle Tom, you are a horrible person. You're a demon, what a load of rubbish you know, but you know it's been going on for hundreds of years and it's really time to put an end to it, so I'm really happy to see you have the courage to come out.

You know it doesn't bother me anymore because you know I only worry about what God thinks like nowhere, but you know sometimes people ask me what happened to you you changed I haven't changed I changed about 35 years ago because she sees me I grew up in Detroit, a bastion of liberalism, they call it progressivism, now they keep changing the name, but anyway, from there to Boston, a bastion of liberalism, back to Detroit and then to New Haven, Connecticut, a bastion of liberalism and then an hour away in Michigan. bastion of liberalism and then to Baltimore, Maryland, a bastion of living alone, so I had no chance.

He was liberal. I was too far away and then I did something liberals are never supposed to do. I would listen to a conservative. I listen to Ronald. Reagan and I said, you know, he doesn't sound like a horrible racist person, he sounds just like my mother and at that moment I started thinking for myself and that made a big difference, it also made a big difference in my medical career. I didn't do what everyone else did. I always started thinking outside the box, how do you solve this problem? And that's why God gave us these complex brains.

Your brain has billions and billions of neurons, hundreds of billions of interconnections. Remember everything you have done. Have you ever seen everything you've heard. It can process more than two million bits of information in one second. Would God give you something like that just so you can be a sheep and follow what someone else tells you to do or think for yourself? You know, don't you find it fascinating that so many people say that presidents are racist? He is a horrible racist and everything he does is right. You know, it seems to me that a few years ago, Jesse Jackson gave the president an award in New York City because he opened so many opportunities for

black

people is what erases us and then when he moved to Palm Beach, he was right at the forefront of fighting clubs that didn't admit Jews and

black

s, does that sound like what race is he? who finally got the second chance act because that's not like the races that were when he took office, brought the HBCU office to the White House, who could get the right care, more money than ever, Opportunity Zones for that people could take this money and direct it to the places where people didn't have opportunities before an economy where there are the lowest unemployment rates for black people in history and it goes on and on and on, let me tell you something: if he is a racist, he is terribly bad and needs it. to learn a lesson from real races, people who look at someone like you and me and say because your skin is a certain color you have to think a certain way and if you don't, there's something wrong with you and they start saying their names, those are the real races, but you know the president believes that a rising tide lifts all boats, he doesn't believe in identity politics and that's why he's doing things that work for everyone and we should be happy with that and with the media.

I like to bother him with every little thing. You know he's not perfect. I'm not perfect. You are not perfect. The only one who was ever perfect was Jesus and he was crucified. So think about this and we just have to look at the. big picture think about all the amazing things that are happening think for ourselves and be missionaries go out and talk to your family talk to your friends help them realize why see if all they are doing is watching certain media that they don't even see do you know about of these things that we just talked about that he's done and that's why they can perpetrate this horrible image of him as a bad person, it's not at all trying to work with them all the time, he's a wonderful person, he's become a good friend, do you remember during a campaign when we were having a debate and he couldn't hear my name I went out I stood there I was waiting to hear everyone else walk by happily he was the only one who was with me until they cleared things up that's the kind of person who our president is my friend and will be your friend as you get to know him, ladies and gentlemen, the 45th president of the United States, Donald J.

Trump, next from the leaves of Minnesota and Tennessee, some attention from Detroit to the Houston American Park. and the time of him we are standing thank you what a group Wow thank you well I want to thank you all and there is a big crowd of people outside, we couldn't fit them in, we will make a bigger room next time, but we want to thank you. Thank you very much and I want to thank a special friend of mine, Ben Carson, for the presentation and for doing so many things. There's a great job at HUD and Vice President Mike Pence, he's always been there, he's always been there, he's great, great gentleman, great man and me.

I'm thrilled to be here in the heart of Georgia to

launch

our incredible new nationwide grassroots effort. Black people think about this. Blacks for Trump. Black

voices

for African Americans for Trump. Call it whatever you want. We like. Why do you prefer black people? Trump or African Americans, well, I want to thank you and I'll tell you what we're doing right. We have our best employment numbers and we're going to address it, but the support we're getting from African Americans. The community has been overwhelming and I want to thank each and every one of you for your courage, tenacity and devotion in what is truly turning out to be a movement.

This was like a movement in 2016, there was a movement of a lot of people and the way you created a good part of that movement, you know the diamond is so beautiful, so cool, and I hear you tearing them down, you're all over the place, that It's good, so it's supposed to work out well someday, you have to save a ticket for me. I'm walking in with the first lady and she's not going to be very happy, seriously, when you're in Washington. I want you to let me know what a great job you are doing. I really appreciate your help.

Let's all travel. across the country to every urban, rural and suburban community and we will campaign for every last African American vote in 2020. From the beginning of our campaign, we stood up to Washington lobbyists and special interests and corporate media to see how does it work. I come with you, but you know what we are winning, we are winning like no one has ever won before, we are facing the corrupt media, many of their corrupt people and the political establishment that has failed America for decades and has failed the African American community for decades and We are starting to learn about things we never thought were possible, even exactly three years ago.

Tonight, November 8, 2016, the people spoke and we took back our country and that is what is happening. We won an extraordinary victory for all Americans and within a year. We're going to win another incredible victory and we're going to do it with a groundswell of support from hard-working African American Patriots and you know exactly what I'm talking about because collectively we've never done better. We have never done better than what we are doing now. The Republican Party was the original home of African Americans and now African Americans are returning. It was a journey of a hundred years, if you think about it.

Paris, it was a hundred years and now you are returning. and going back to the Republican Party, people forget that Abraham Lincoln was a Republican, we have to remember that and you will come back in record numbers, we will make 2020 an opportunity, we will actually give it something we are going to do. It's a risk you take, but it's not a risk because you know exactly what's going on, you've seen it, you know, when I first came out and started talking about voting for me, that was taking a risk because I wasn't a politician, Now everything that was said has come true except more, more, much more than we ever thought possible.

When we look at the numbers and we're going to get into the numbers, we're going to make 2020 a year of change in Black communities across the country. We've already been doing it, and Black Americans will join us in our mission to protect their jobs, defend their safety, and create a better future for every citizen. Together we will make America greater than ever and that is what is happening right now in much of our country. What's going on? We are thrilled to be joined by Harrison Floyd from our Black Voices

coalition

. Get ready, where's Harrison? Where's Harrison?

Harrison you didn't even get a good placement there, that's why he's doing so well. In fact, you let other people have that. good location Harrison, thank you so much, I appreciate it, thank you, great job you're doing in our fantastic co-chairs, Herman Cain and Pastor Daryl Scott, you mentioned this guy. I saw him be so hard. I said to him: is he really a pastor? Is he the toughest guy? I've ever seen that I would disarm them, go into enemy territory fake news like CNN, disarm them, that was easy for you, huh? Do you want to say a couple of words?

Did you talk before? Oh my God, bless everyone. One thing I learned from watching this master debater was that if I can't win the debate, I turned it into an argument, I might lose the debate, but I'm not going to lose the argument, but listen, there's a scripture in the Bible that Jesus said of Abraham. Abraham said he was glad to see my day and he saw it and he was glad and we rejoiced to see this day we see it, we rejoice you know 2015 2016 a handful of black people who are brave enough to come forward and publicly announce their support for the then candidate Donald Trump and not only now do they support him but they actively defend him with diamonds and silk in Paris denied and two minutes: I'm going to leave someone out, but we will resolve the day when people would listen for every five people who criticize us. one person would listen to us and that person made another person listen to them and you know courage is brave once someone steps forward others say well I can step forward if they can do it now look at us and not anymore Not yet I have seen nothing, this is nothing, yes, this is just a seed.

Wait until we see the harvest in 2020. Fantastic guy, he is a champion and again a diamond and silk. I really appreciate you being here. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it and a very special thank you to someone who has been with us from the beginning. Katrina, where is Katrina? Katrina Pierson and she went. I met her, one of the first people I met. In fact, I don't think she was running at the time. I told her she was thinking about running, she said it's a good idea and I think it was a good idea because here we are, we go back to that beautiful Oval Office and then we do a lot of things for a lot of people.

Thanks Katrina. great job you have done thank you and a very special woman who constantly defends me sometimes I don't need it but sometimes I will be the king she is a great she is a great woman a great woman and we never forget it we will never forget it, thank you, I appreciate it You must because we are delighted that we are also joined by former Governor Sonny Perdue with Sonny and now he is head of Agriculture Sonny Perdue, the great Sonny Perdue, has given away much of the money from China that we took. We gave the money from China to the farmers' right and to Mrs.

Perdue, so Sony is now, as you know, Secretary of Agriculture and has done an incredible job. Thank you very much, Sonny, what a job, thank you. Now we have Senator David Perdue, where is David? Where is the great David Perdue? Your senator and I just want to say thank you. You, David, have been instrumental in the success of the state. We're doing well in the state when we were campaigning, we actually weren't doing that well in Georgia and now it's doing phenomenally well, so we want to thank David. I want to thank you, we want to thank you, great Governor Bryan, why don't I go somewhere around here?

I think Bryan Bryan, this state is doing much better than when you arrived. Bryan Brian Kemp, much better so thank you Bryan, David and Sonny and all of you are amazing people and we also have a couple of warriors who are amazing and have been right from the beginning. They helped us with all these witch hunts every week. It's a different witch hunt and we have Rep. Rick Allen. Rick, thank you Rick, representatives, I mean, my friend Congressman, my friend Carter, these are people you fight with. Jody, you know? Jody is great and a warrior like few people have been.seen before.

I saw him during the Muller hearing and a lot of people were very, very nervous when he started going after everyone and he's been, he really has been, he's been incredible and he's ahead of the curve and he's also a special man. His name is Congressman Doug Collins. Thank you, great job, thank you, thank you. You see that they like you. Doug, they better like you. a great job forIn the state, we also have a first lady in this room, you know, my fan, our first lady in the whole country, she is very popular, right? snake she loves everything and she has made life so much easier because life is not that easy for Bryan he is working all the time so I want to thank him a lot of money thank you so much for being here Lt.

Governor Jeff Duncan former fantastic. baseball player, by the way, for those of you who don't know well, Jeff, your Georgia Attorney General, Chris Carr, Chris has been a real job, thank you Chris, thank you Chris, great job and the elective Attorney General. Kentucky is here and has become a big star. "I don't know, I don't know, we had a great Kentucky, but we didn't get any credit for it. You know, we had a guy running for governor who really worked hard, really worked hard, but he was really down and almost won, and maybe we" . I think he's contesting it, that's right, I think he's contesting it, but we raised him 19 points and then the media said it was a bad night for Trump, but we also won five out of six of the races and the first African-American prosecutor.

General in Kentucky history, this is going to be a star, let's see if I'm right. I predicted you. I predicted you. Daniel Cameron Daniel, you are there somewhere, great job Daniel, so proud of you. Wow, he won by a lot. He won by We had a lot of fun, we were there the night before and it was a night, you know, it was a night, but it was a tremendous record, you set a record, you know, what you were running for, it's been a long time ago too, when I I ran for office three years ago, looked at the dismal record of the Democratic Party and asked the African-American community what the hell do they have to lose, right?

What do they have to lose? And I walked off the stage. That night and all these professional handlers, right, I don't have too many handlers, but they say sir, I don't think they like that. I said don't look because I read a list last in crimes less than this last in home ownership. last in the economy the lowest wages all these things and I said wait a minute. I'm just reading a list and I said wait a minute and that's what I said. This was not part of the script. I do my best work. off script my first time, I hate to say this.

I also do my worst work off script so you never get in trouble when you follow the script. Paris, now I do the best I can at my worst job and that also makes things very exciting, but that was my best job, I mean, it was a very important statement because, honestly, the Democrats have let them down and then I made a solemn promise that whether you voted for me or not, I would be your biggest advocate, okay? And you did. We went out, we did very well, we would do much better this time because now you know we do it now, it's not just talk, don't forget, I didn't come as a politician, I came as a businessman and I said we will do it. things that are going to be a big businessman slash TV star right, we had a lot of fun with The Apprentice but I said we're going to do a job and so on, but who knew, I mean a lot of people didn't know what I chose right.

The judges did not know many things. How do you see what we have done with the judges we elected? We are at one hundred and fifty-seven federal judges and the Court of Appeals will be at one hundred and eighty to see a record by record and the previous administration left us with one hundred and forty-two. judges to cover, can you imagine that? I thought maybe they won, maybe they don't have any. I said how many sir you have one hundred and forty-two. I said it has to be. Just kidding, you've got to be kidding me 142 so we're going to be 182 two great Supreme Court justices so it's great for the great Supreme Court justices and we're going to look at that whole situation with the justices because we have a lot ahead of us. and you know there are some who say the best thing you can do, the greatest legacy, the most important thing a president can do.

I say that the army and defense are always the most important thing. In some ways, I would say defense, we have totally rebuilt our army, our army was strong. quite a large number now Baghdadi last week didn't know what the hell hit him. I can tell you they came and they weren't playing, they weren't playing, they came in and those new those beautiful helicopters. and they said they went through the world, they didn't go through the door, you know, I said why because I'm watching this like you're watching your movie, okay, like you watching a movie, and they went through that, boom boom boom, that was dynamite. boom they made a hole I said why don't you just walk in the front door it's called booby traps I said that makes sense but you've never seen anything happen so fast and it was violent but it was incredible it was incredible he killed a lot of people he was the founder of Isis and Isis was bad and when you saw those people in orange suits and the horrible things that happened to those people in orange suits, this is the man and we took him out and then we took he took out his second and we have our eyes on his third and I promised pouring out all my heart and soul to fight for their families and their future, that was after it was true.

I was reading that horrible list, that list was ten points. and they were all Thor stores, the worst, the worst for African Americans and each and every one of them was the worst. They had statistics. What I'm saying is you know, man, this is really bad and we take care of it now, now you get the worst. The best numbers you've had for decades, Democrats have taken African American voters for granted, done nothing for you. Democrats have ruled America's slums at all levels of government for 50, 60, 70 years and really a hundred. Years I see, I think Paris is right a hundred years ago, when Detroit last had a Republican mayor in 1962, it had a strong and beautiful economy, per capita income was among the highest in the country and after almost 60 years of really corrupt Democratic government, it is one of the poorest cities in the United States it was one of the most successful cities in the United States Philadelphia has a poverty rate more than double the national average the city has had a Democratic mayor every year since 1952 20 of the 20 most dangerous cities in America last year were run by Democrats, I'd say that's not very good nationally, 58 percent of murder victims are under 22 or African American, America is waking up to the Democratic party's history of suffering and neglect, that's what they want, your vote, they're nice. right before the election and then they forget about you for four years or two years or six years or whatever, then they come and hit you hard for three months and then they get your vote and say goodbye now.

Look at it, I mean, I deal with them all the time, I deal with a corrupt politician, this guy, Adam Schiff, that's him, no, he's a corrupt politician. Nancy Pelosi should return to her home in San Francisco and clean up her district that is falling apart with drugs and homelessness. and with all the problems, it is not the same San Francisco as all of California, it is a disaster, it is true, of all the Washington traitors who have hurt our nation, none have been worse than the cruelty and betrayal of the Democratic party, I'm talking about the betrayal of the black community.

It's unbelievable what's happened, it's unbelievable, the Democrats bowed to the special interests and got their kids and the failing government schools. Look at the schools, they were schools where we are making a lot of progress, but you have the worst schools in the country. By far, it's not even close to them sending their jobs overseas with catastrophic and horrible trade deals that were rapidly changing. We have to see what happens to us. We cannot get Nancy Pelosi to approve the MCA that is between Canada and the United States. It's phenomenal. a deal for us Democrats by opening America's borders to the deadly drugs and ruthless gangs that are everywhere to massively illegal immigration that hurts the black community so much that they passed bills against crime that devastated their communities and Democrats

launch

ed a relentless attack on their most cherished values. that have always defined African American families, you know it's amazing that you've stayed this long to be honest, it almost becomes a habit, right, it's a habit like oh we voted for a Democrat, no one knows why they vote for a democrat. if they don't do the job, you change, you have a change and progress has been made like never before, perhaps in such a short period of time, but under this administration all that has changed and it is changing even faster now that we are undoing the damage inflicted by decades of corrupt Democratic government and the creation of a historic tide of new opportunity and prosperity.

We have done more for African Americans in three years than the broken Washington establishment has done in more than 30 years. We have created six point seven. millions of new jobs since the election, a number that if I had said that to the fake news media over there, look at all those cameras, if I had said that now, if I had said that during the campaign, I would have been vilified. They have gone crazy, how dare you create six point seven million new jobs? They have been gone since last month's election. The African American unemployment rate reached the lowest level ever recorded in our country's history.

How does that argument get lost in a debate? American youth unemployment this was so important to me, remember I was sixty and seventy percent? It has now reached the lowest number ever recorded in the history of our country. It's very nice. The poverty rate for African Americans has reached an all-time low. For the first time, the majority of new employees of prime working age are minorities and women. It is the first time this has happened. Wages are rising very quickly, up nine percent since the election, a figure that was unthinkable, and they are rising proportionally faster for low-income workers. are rising more rapidly for low-income workers who would have thought this would happen.

Nearly 2.5 million Americans have been lifted out of poverty since my election, including 150,000 African American children. 150,000 (I see when I hear 150,000), many people don't. I don't know if it means, you know what it means to me, we filled Yankee Stadium three times three, that's a lot of people to bring investment to underserved communities. We have cut a record number of job-destroying regulations, more than any administration in history. Although we've only been here for a short time by comparison, we passed huge tax cuts for working families, saving the typical family $4,200 a year, and over the past two years my administration has also provided more than $8 billion in contracts. and funding for minority-owned small businesses, which alone has resulted in at least twenty thousand new, beautiful jobs, which is why they're with us today, Kelvin and Janelle King, from here in Atlanta.

Kelvin graduated from the United States Air Force Academy, a great place. where he was also an all conference football player today Kelvin and his wife Ginny alone a general contracting business and doing very well Kelvin and Janelle please come say a few words please come he looks so happy he should be happy hello thank you well thank you mr. President, this is really cool, by the way, I'm a builder too, you know? My wife Janelle and I own Osprey Management Osprey is a general contractor construction company based here in Georgia as a businessman. I started Ospreys seven years ago. of my room and eventually we were able to generate enough cash to move into the basement, so I built my basement.

We operated out of my basement for a few years, but just last year we were able to buy and operate out of our own My own 12,000 square foot office building near Braves Stadium comes with huge Braves fans because of this president's policies, The economy is the strongest it has ever been in my lifetime, but it may be too strong considering record low unemployment and how hard it is to find employees, so we're hiring Ospreys. It's okay for everyone to listen. Our future success depends on our ability to ignore the distractions we see every day. Participate in this economy.

Take advantage of these policies. Don't stay on the sidelines. Due to the emotions of fillings and being in the game as an Air Force veteran, I took advantage of your VA health services update where I was able to see a private doctor due to an unreasonable appointment time, in the words of Tuskegee Airmen and Air Force. General Benjamin or Davis Jr. The privileges of beingAmerican belonged to those brave enough to fight for them and to you, Mr. President, thank you, thank you for being brave, thank you, thank you for making the black community a priority and thank you for fighting for all Americans and that is why you will get our vote in 2020.

I am very, very brief, thank you everyone here. Thank you. You mr. president, you were amazing and my husband continually inspires me every day. He does a great job and being a business owner is hard, so I'm very proud and I thank him for his policies and making it easier for Trump 2020 to be beautiful, to be really beautiful, thank you. Congratulations, every day we are reversing ruinous trade policies that have devastated black middle class citizens after the two NAFTA disasters and China's entry into the World Trade Organization, which was a horrible thing for us, one in four manufacturing jobs held by African Americans. disappeared completely, died out in the last three decades Milwaukee lost 27 percent of all manufacturing jobs Cleveland lost 42 percent Dayton lost 44 percent Philadelphia lost 74 percent but under this administration job shipping days Americans and wealth to foreign countries is over it's over they're coming back here everyone's coming back it's happening you said 10,000 plants are opening in the United States or it happened since we took over, 60,000 have been lost before that, think about those 60,000 on behalf of African Americans and all Americans, we are now putting America first, it is really good, we have had it, in other words, we have done well, we are standing up to decades of chronic trade abuses of China and replacing the NAFTA catastrophe with a new USMC a giant victory for farmers, ranchers and manufacturers from coast to coast does nothing Democrats that's what they are I came up with that name I don't think they like it too much but who cares , they don't do anything, all they do is waste time instead of doing the things they give, they just go and let's accuse him, we can't beat him, what about the guy, we can't beat him so let's accuse him?

You see she was a beauty, we can't beat her, let's beat her, good idea, the do nothing Democrats are blocking a vote on the USMC to Nancy Pelosi, she is blocking the vote, she doesn't want the vote to happen because They prefer to hurt their political opponents and help their black constituents. That's what happens under my administration. We've added nearly 10,000 new factories in just three years and we're just getting started. Tremendous numbers are coming. Everyone wants to be in the United States. You know, with an attractive location, with the most attractive economy in the world, by far, to keep jobs in the United States.

I withdrew the United States from the disastrous, job-killing Paris Climate Agreement. The only one who was upset about this in the entire country was Paris. Dennard, I mean, even you like Paris, right, okay, he said he liked her okay. Democrats want to invest in global green projects. I want to invest in black American communities. It's true, thank you very much, there are sixteen tickets, 16 more years have passed and they. I'll watch again I told you he wants to be a dictator here these people are crazy about revitalizing stressful neighborhoods we created 9000 opportunity zones Tim Scott from South Carolina was pretty incredible, including 26 here in Atlanta eight million African Americans live in opportunity zones, However, all the Democrats voted against giving these black citizens the future they deserve, the Republicans got it passed, it was not easy, we had no votes from the Democrats and now the Democrats say we made a big mistake, but we never They are going to admit that publicly I can.

I guarantee it, but they were totally against it, but we had great help. I said Tim Scott was so incredible, his senators were incredible, David and Johnny, and it's been incredible, no one thought that could happen to the extent that it did, areas were revitalized and jobs were created like No one thought it would be possible to attract investment. to these impoverished communities. We cut the capital gains tax and Opportunity Zones to zero because people are coming in with money that, you know, would have been high risk and now they're coming in and they're excited. and they're coming in with more and more money and property values ​​are skyrocketing in the communities and values ​​have gone up twenty percent twenty five thirty percent today we're glad that Paul will be with us tomorrow a great proud military veteran. person and small business owner in Selma Alabama, is building a new concrete plant and opportunity zone in Montgomery to help support the future home of the new F-35 fighter jets and tomorrow I will be in Alabama watching a game of football that It will be a good game, it would be a good game, I think so, so what happened to Georgia is not in the game, we have teams that do well, but we will be there tomorrow, hey Paul, come up, say some words , please. thank you, thank you oh yeah, I can't, are you ready for this, let's make it clear that I'm not a politician, I'm just a regular human being from Alabama, the beans, the beans and the okra fields, and I'm going to do Sure, I got my PhD in the corn fields and the climate bill fields of Alabama, but that's a small town right outside of Selma, Alabama.

You know, now I'm standing there in our space on the spot stage, but Donald Trump traveled in our United States of America, you can see right behind us the stars and stripes, the American flag, and I always thought about the Republic that it represents and I thank God because they run a nation, okay, I'll tell you a little history here, pass the story a stack and what they represent is sdhd, which means South Dade air conditioning, yes, this is not like that, they are a community air conditioning repair company in Homestead, Florida. You know it originated in 1985 and now you know we went through Andrews and different things there and Andrew writes, you know, we became known and then we are attacked by a family or a reason to increase the fact of becoming war combatants and that hit a war on unemployment, so I got my 80, you know, in 2009 and now we grew, you know we kept going and you know we created a lot of jobs, we created a lot of opportunities for other people and stuff, and you know, then the recession hit, You know it was the recession in the Technol hostage that trapped everyone, but in a way I found myself with a debt of around 75,750 thousand dollars that trickled down, you know, to almost over a million points, something, but the reason was found, you know, you know, God knows what he did, he fought with me to get back to Alabama.

I know I wanted to have my sick mother there and when I got there I met an ex football player, Alban football player, in a Macmillan, he was a fool, but I and I read United, you know, and we did some things in Alabama in Selma. Alabama, it's amazing, you know, we have some of the most valid work that was being created in Selma, Alabama, and you know, I'll just say I read it, I know it'll probably beat me up, but I'll re-read it, grandkids, I think You're one of the wonderful firefighters who had two hoses in his hand in 1965, now Reeve works for me and we create opportunities that have been fighting for Reid, so about meeting each other, we read, you know, I was able to close that gap with the $ 775,000 on yours to maybe close out a couple million dollars in debt in 2017.

I made it a prisoner of war winner for a year. You know, he came here and to Washington DC and I met with the administration. You know the administration says you can't rule them out. Right now you know that we are going to a different phase in life, no, we have not found the new era, the new administration, they are, you know, guided by, you know, mr. Donald Trump do not believe what he called opportunity zone Rosie and mr. Donald trum hired a lawyer in an enlightened person's name asking for bail for Ashley, its founder, he pulled a robbery to come to Homestead, Florida and come to Alabama and meet with my team and now you know I did it when somehow way you came out of nowhere.

Coming to your business, you know, we were all excited and everyone was too excited because one of the presidents of the United States, Donald Trump, stopped them from coming to see us, but somehow it happened that once Ashley got there, he will continue forward. pills about what we were doing I already have about six million different nails hanging out of my sleeve their thing is that we didn't create it, you know, do the 8a program and other things we have them doing that now, so right now I and Reid Mike Miller, yeah, we know we're bringing that back to the net level, you know, we just bought their first 275 acres of a whole egg, apply on the new opportunities and you heard the president talk about the opportunities and on the Instead , the resource became available now.

I made it pretty strong and you know, thanks to the help of Miss Annabelle and wouldn't you know it, overall, you know, we got one of her professional team from the president to come and I didn't. mastering it as small business owners in opportunities is not a bad thing and we did not have a hundred percent growth pattern in the last four years, but Lee projected that now we do not have 200 percent growth in the next 18 months because of your new opportunities in things, so this is the new era to just take a new view and say: I have to change.

May I greet this audience. You know, I can greet the nation and I know some who are not in the world. Elsewhere, looking at me today, some greet the world and now and as you see me here, I cannot speak about the State of the Union for the nation, but I can say that the state of Unum 4 is strong and then my closing. with my closing I'm going to say God bless the president of the United States, most of Donald Trump, God bless yesterday and the new opportunities in the new job that we are about to create in Selma Alabama and God bless America.

Wow, thanks, what a job. I think he liked that too. He is doing very well in the concrete business. I don't think he wants to be a politician. You want to be a politician. I don't believe it. What a great job. Thank you very much and that is from the heart. Also, by the way, after my election I heard from countless African American leaders who asked me to get involved in a cause that is dear to many of them in this room right now. I see many of you that it was very important to you. That's criminal justice reform and last year with Jared's help, where's Jared?

He's here, get up, Jack Jared was amazing. I proudly signed bipartisan criminal justice reform into law. They've been trying to do it for many, many, many years, they never came close, including the last administration I don't know if they really tried, but they tried, then they didn't, they didn't even try, and you know why they didn't try, because they knew that they were not going to get it, it is probable. great reason, but it is called a first step bill to reverse the unjust provisions of Clinton's 1994 crime bill, which was so unfair to her community and which severely and disproportionately harmed African Americans.

We are also moving forward in hiring second chances to rehabilitate citizens with criminal records. Record return to work What are the things we have going for us? The economy is so good that it is so good that today we have opportunities that, frankly, years ago we wouldn't have them and people are very happy with the employers who pay the check every week they are so happy with the result that they can't believe they did it. seen as an opportunity. Where has this been for 30 years? Why haven't we been doing this for so long? When we say "more American" we mean "taller all Americans." That's what we mean, we are also restoring security in America's big cities in the two years before I was elected murders increased by more than 20 percent nationwide in the last two years murders in America's major cities have shrunk by more than 10 percent and to protect the valuable role of Historically Black Colleges and Universities we increased federal funding for HBCUs by more than a hundred million dollars they do a great job they do a great job and some needed help, frankly, but they do great work, we can't lose them, but While we are delivering results for African Americans, the far left Democrats have been busy doing absolutely nothing for you for over three years in a row, they have been obsessed with only one delusional goal: to nullify the votes of the great elections we had in 2016 and really If you think about overthrowing American democracy, first it was the Russian hoax, then it was the Muller report, the biggest lie ever perpetrated against the American people .

Russia, give me a break, well I felt a little better because I see two weeks ago. Hillary Clinton said Jill Stein was a rookie, she was a rookie, okay,The head of the right-wing Green Party ran against Hillary, the Paris right-wing, and that Tulsi Gabbard, I don't know, tell her cigarettes, but she said they're Russian agents, they're involved with Russia now. I don't know any of these women. , but I know they're not involved with Russia when they said that about me it took me two years to get out of this it took them two minutes people said we think she's crazy At this point now the Democrats and the media have launched and are partners , you know, the deranged hyperpartisan impeachment witch hunt, a sinister effort to nullify the ballots of 63 million patriotic Americans, which is not happening, by the way, it's failing, it's failing fast, it's all a hoax it's all a deception is fair enough the democrats are willing to destroy the foundations of our society and the pillars of our justice system and judicial system in their cowardly pursuit of power and money imagine if the democrats only devoted 10% of the energy they spend attacking Me and my administration to make this a better country to consider 'children, can you imagine what they could do?

They don't care, but we do it well, that's really the truth and I think you're learning that fast, we're all learning that. With Republicans in Congress we are fighting for school choice. We believe that no parent in America should be forced to send their child to a substandard public school. If that didn't happen, today's Democratic party has no ideas on how to help black people. Americans just want to use radical socialism and want to open their borders so anyone can enter. You are here, anyone can come in and they have bad people who want to come in.

Really bad people. We have really strengthened the borders. as you know, and if we get some help from them, we need some votes to get rid of the loopholes that have loopholes that they call loopholes. Democrats want to provide free welfare and healthcare to illegal aliens, courtesy of you, the American taxpayers, and the African American community. Republicans believe that public benefits for American citizens should be protected. For the money we spend on illegal immigrants, we could completely rebuild our urban centers and repair our ruined infrastructure and fix our terrible public schools, schools that are in terrible condition, but instead the Democrats want to redistribute their wealth all over the world. world to places they had never heard of before.

Every day, Democratic sanctuary cities release dangerous foreign criminals and gang members. like ms-13 on your streets Republicans believe our city should be sanctuaries for law-abiding Americans and not criminal aliens last year Democrats even shut down the government to preserve benefits for illegal immigrants they have never fought so hard hard to do something for the African American community, they don't fight that way, I see it, I'm with the video of fighting for the African American community, they would rather illegal aliens come to health care schools, I said jokingly, once Rolls- Royce, every illegal immigrant receives a Rolls Royce and the media said that Donald Trump exaggerated said that everyone buys Rolls Royce this is a lie these people are the worst now they don't give them Rolls Royce they are just shorter pearls that give them little less than the Rolls Royce true Democrats care more about illegal aliens than African American citizens or our military or citizens everywhere care more under Democratic politicians.

African Americans become and have been, they have truly been forgotten, literally, forgotten Americans, but under my administration you have seen what we have been able to do because they are forgotten they are no longer correct the radical Democrats are waging an all-out assault on values and historical traditions of the black community are trying to attack the heroes in charge of enforcing the law and keeping us safe these are people who keep us safe there is nothing wrong with us wanting security because when I read that list of ten, a of things is that it's the most insecure that the African American community is, so the numbers are different like you don't believe that we want to be safe.

I want to take away your right to self-defense crush your religious freedom and silence your pastors pastors are being silenced but no longer because of the Johnson amendment the Johnson amendment they are allowed to speak to you now your pastors and ministers are allowed to Let me talk to you now without retaliation. Black churches have always been exalted and have always truly been the conscience of our nation, yet Democrats now want to take faith out of the public square and attack Christians and other religions. believers that's what they're doing they've gone crazy they really are that's what's going on out there it's crazy like your president I will always appreciate our nation's religious heritage we will always appreciate that it means a lot you know it when you look at things What's happening in large part it is because they have lost that incredible foundation, especially the vital and indispensable role of African American churches in our society.

Unbelievable, we have some ministers here and some pastors here, you heard an incredible man, but we have some. ministers, pastors and others who are people we all admire and their voice has to be heard, they have to be heard, they have tried, they are trying to remove that voice, it won't happen, don't worry, it will happen. This doesn't happen, so don't worry too much about it, don't lose sleep tonight. Well, virtually every major Democrat now also supports late-term abortion, taking the baby directly from the mother's room until the moment of birth, and then you have the governor of Virginia, where it was, birth after birth, that's evil, for That's why I asked Congress to ban extreme late-term abortion because Republicans believe that every child is a sacred gift from God to every African American, of course I will and you won't.

You have to choose to leave the Democratic Party because the Democratic Party already left you a long time ago. It's true that they left you. Well, they come back before the elections for a few months, but that's it if you don't want to have radical socialism, that's what you need. you don't want if you don't want open borders if you don't want out of control political correctness how about some of this political correctness? If you don't want your jobs going overseas, if you don't want your kids trapped in failing schools, if you don't want liberal extremists ruling your lives, today we welcome you to the Republican Party.

Honest Abe, right. Honest Abe now, in every sense, Republicans are the party of Lincoln and Frederick Douglas, the Civil Rights Act and hard law. -hardworking American patriots of all races, religions, colors and creeds, the Republican Party knows that our rights, liberties and liberties are given to us by the hand of Almighty God, guided by that immortal truth. Republicans are fighting for great jobs, great schools, safe streets, fair laws and a government that listens and responds to the American people when we talk about draining the swamp, we're talking about replacing the corrupt bureaucrats and politicians that crony lobbyists brought in and they paid and you know that they bring them and pay for them, they are really disgracing a class of people and a group of people and I am not talking about African Americans, I am talking about all Americans, they are disgracing us as a nation, they have dismissed you, they have hurt and have been sabotaged for a long time. too long, it's time, it's time to see what has happened in the last short period of time.

We have a lot of great commentators in the front, we have a lot of commentators, in fact, in the back, we have a couple of really great commentators, in the back. What the hell are you doing back there, but they're cool and they get it, they know what's going on and some of them didn't get it right at first, they weren't, but they see they've seen what's happened in the last three. years but your day is over your day has just begun it has just begun that is why we need everyone in this room and all like-minded voters across the country to participate in our righteous campaign to extend the blessings of all of America to all of our citizens.

Share our message of job opportunities and freedom with everyone you know, we need you to reach out to your friends, your neighbors, your churches and your communities, all of your communities, including your faith communities, that we are bringing back to our nation. We need them very much. has gone wrong, we need to be told to judge us based on that and everything we have achieved and we have achieved more than anyone has achieved in three years and it has not been done in the spheres of media or lies. of those who defend the old status quo they want to defend it they are defending their territory but their territory is no good tell them you are fierce and brave and proud and independent Black

We have had an economy like this before in our history and that makes things easier, but if our opponent had entered this economy instead of going up 60%, the 70% would have gone down 60 or 70% and that is guaranteed, but we are thriving like never before. and ladies and gentlemen of the African American community, I just want to tell you very strongly that the best is yet to come, the best is yet to come, so I want to thank all my friends and many of them came to see. to thank the people outside who couldn't come in because next time we will make a much bigger room, but you are very, very, very special people and I want to congratulate you all. because what's happened in the last three years for the black community, the African American community has been truly incredible and I'm honored to have been there with you and we're going to work together and we're going to get this done together. and we will succeed together thank you very much everyone thank you a great honor thank you very much god bless America thank you
