Donald Trump, Jr. on attacks against Covington Catholic teen Nicholas Sandmann and the second night of the RNC.
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
I fought back hard to expose.
I fought back hard to expose
the media for what they did to
me, and I want a personal victory.
We must all embrace our first
amendment rights and not hide in
fear of the media or from the
tech companies or from the
outraged mob either.
One more thing
lets make America great again.
Steve didnt, see that part
coming until he did it.
Anything Sandmanns speech was
one of the highlights from night,
two Covington High school
graduate calling out the media
over their coverage of that
viral confrontation caught on
video.
He wound up suing a bunch of
media companies, and here with
his reaction, is Donald Trump Jr
Don Good morning to you.
You actually went to bat early
on for Nick Sandmann.
I did.
I saw what was going on and its
amazing. It took a 16 year old to
actually stand up to the
nonsense that we have in the
media and I think for the
american people who are
watching imagine a scenario
where the media, because the
narrative was so good. He was
a white christian conservative
male from the
south.
Oh, this is the perfect story.
We must cancel him immediately
if the left and their media is
willing to destroy a 16 year old
child to push their nonsense.
What wont they destroy Steve,
Steve? Well, you know and he
wasnt going to be canceled.
He hired Lynn, wood, a legendary
attorney and he sued a bunch of
media companies and hes sued
the Washington Post and CNN for
about a quarter of
a billion dollars.
The settlement terms are
confidential, but nonetheless
he settled with them because
they wanted to get that over
with, but he did say last night
nobody has been a victim
of unfair media coverage more
than your father.
Well, I think thats, one hundred percent
accurate when you look at the
Trump adminitration when you
look at the accomplishments even
prior to covid. Ninety six percent negative
coverage with all time: low
unemployment number all time
high start up: businesses for
every demographic in the
country for Hispanics
African Americans, women just
across the board. There wasnt a
single economic metric where we
werent significantly better off
than the failed Obama Biden
administration. And yet you
dont hear about it, because the
media refuses to cover that
they literally got a peace deal
done in the Middle EAST within
the last two weeks and theres
almost zero coverage, so thats
like the holy GRAIL of GEO,
political politics, and nobody
is talking about it because they
want to shield for Joe Biden
they want to push for a guy
thats a fifty year d, dot c swamp
creature and you cant name his
accomplishments. But now after
half a century hes going to
start deliving for the american
people, give me a break Steve.
Does anyone believe this
nonsense? Any more
Steve? You were one of the
keynote speakers on the
first night Monday night
and speaking of the media.
Afterwards I saw that the main
concern was: why were his eyes so
glassy?
Well, I guess there must have
been something with the lighting,
but they started doing this
trending thing, Donald
Trump Jrs on cocaine, and all
of that
I said no, no. You have me
confused with Hunter Biden,
Steve. Oh,
it was pretty ridiculous. So
when they cant attack the
delivery, when they cant
attack the substance, they got
to attack something just like be
Tte, Midler and all of
these last night attacking
Melania, because she didnt speak
English, the same way that they
would
well. She speaks five languages
shes from a foreign country. She
got up on a world stage and
knocked it out of the park. But
do you know what
attack her
its ridiculous?
Its the same as watching the
Dnc attacking the Rnc,
because the Rnc has the gall to
showcase real Americans who
have benefited for Donald Trump
S, policies who have
benefited from this
administration, rather than
the out of touch Hollywood
celebrities that they put on
their never ending zoom call of
I hate America last week
its truly mind boggling. How out
of touch the Democrats? Are
they dont even see it
Steve? Before you go im sure
youve talked to your father
after two nights were half way
through
whats his reaction to how its
been going so far.
You know, honestly, I think
he seems really excited.
He called me after my delivery
and each of us as weve gone,
hes called us and just been
very thankful for that and for
our performance, but, more
importantly, he was so excited
to see again those real
Americans. I was speaking to
isnt that an incredible story,
its amazing to see and thats
whats, amazing,
thats, whats, so great about
America,
unlike the dncs hate FEST last
week. This is showcasing the
american Dream
MAX Alvarez, the other night
coming over from Cuba escaping
communism. Talking about those
things you saw last night,
prison reform, opportunity zones
thats what America is
about,
thats, the american dream,
thats the american story and
those stories could only happen
in America.
This is the greatest country on
earth and we shouldnt be
afraid to embrace that.
If you even attempted to embrace
that last week, you get nothing
at the Dnc four straight nights.
No one even denounced they
didnt even touch the violence,
the looting, the rioting, but man.
If you go to church, they will
make sure they arrest you,
you open up your business to put
food on your table. Youre in
trouble. Youll lose your
business license and also arrest
you,
its ridiculous,
Steve. Well, people are watching
tonight night, three Don Jr.
Thank you very much for.
