Powerful things are happening,
and our country is doing very
well
joining us now, with
reaction, a senior legal advisor
to trump two thousand and twenty Jenna Ellis along
with Arizona congressman,
Andy Biggs and Civil Rights
attorney LEO to row.
Thank you all for joining us
here on this wonderful Friday
night.
I want to start with LEO want
to start with you.
Is there anything wrong with
Donald Trump visiting one of the
great monuments we have in this
country and Mount Rushmore
Jason? I am embarrassed
to answer your question
absolutely not
and to celebrate our
independence. This is a great
place for the president to
celebrate our nations birthday,
but that tweet. I want people
to hear this.
The democratic party calling it
a white supremacy, meeting the
race card at its highest level
and that came from the
Democratic Party.
They knew it and they want to
find a racist. All they need to
do was go back to Joe Biden,
insulting every african American
that, if you dont vote Democrat
and secondly, Kamala Harris
calling Joe Biden a racist,
the bottom line is simply this.
You are a Democrat. You can be a
racist, but the point here is
you accuse the Republicans of
being racist and there was no
evidence of that whatsoever
is embarrassing and I am
embarrassed to be a Democrat
tonight,
Congressman Biggs. I
want to go to you.
Politicians wrap themselves in
the flag, they do things like
visit Mount Rushmore.
We had Hillary Clinton visit
Mount Rushmore. You had
Barack Obama visit
Mount Rushmore,
you had Bernie Sanders visit
Mount Rushmore.
I never heard any of this from
the Democrats had now. All of a
sudden. This is some sort of
white supremacy event.
Donald Trump has had so much
success and is living in their
heads.
Youve got an iconic president,
going to an iconic monument and
hes, going to give an iconic
speech about how great America
is
theyre, going to play the race
card and yell and scream and
bellyache. But the reality is
this, what the president should
be doing and if we were in a
rational time I would say this
is a time that he could
emphasize a more perfect union,
and this would typify that has
opposed to the division. They are
trying to sell.
Jenna ive got to
tell you you were with the
Trump campaign
when I was a member of Congress
and the governor of South Dakota
when she was serving in
Congress. She told me about a
meeting she had with
Donald Trump when she very first
went in there, two thousand and seventeen, and she
said she invited Donald Trump
said when I become the governor
of South Dakota. I want you to
come here for fourth of July
and she said it was amazing.
Have this great conversation
with the president talking about?
Hopefully, when I become
governor, you can come out and
now it is coming to fruition, but
the Democrats are trying to
change the reality of what
actually happened and how that
invitation even started.
It is such an amazing honor
to be here with the president,
and I think we will hear from
him the Spirit of optimism and
the American Spirit, because
truly the truth on the founding
of our country is not built upon
perfect men, but that they served
a perfect God and that our
american optimism and the
opportunity we have for
Providence for liberty and
prosperity is because of our
founding principles and values.
President Trump is such a
citizen president, because he
understands that he is bringing
in that spirit of optimism and
opportunity back to Americans
im surrounded by thousands of
people here who are so excited
to be trump supporters.
My dad and I were coming in
today. We saw all of the flags
if you get out of the swamp, get
out of the fake news media get
out of Joe Bidens basement. You
see. America loves
president Trump because he has
emboldened us with true and
genuine leadership as the
Republican Party, but even more
as Americans, because we are
built on that eternal truth and
that recognition that we are all
created equal and its only
through that equality and
prosperity that our principles
and our rights have been endowed
by God, our creator that then we
can generally be so proud to be
american.
This is not a symbol of white
supremacy.
This is a symbol of imperfect
men who recognize the truth.
They are on the
ground, they are in South Dakota,
but this is just what seems like
a daily string of the Democrats,
telling good old fashioned
Americans that what they do,
what they believe in the mother
country and patriotism, is wrong.
At what point did the Democrats
overstep their bounds?
I think Americans are tired of
being told that you cant love
America, and if you do theres
something wrong with you,
I think youre absolutely
right.
He will see a shift, because this
democratic rhetoric does not
sell to the general public
whats wrong with loving God and
country and putting America
first.
I will tell you the truth and be
very honest. The Democrats do
not want the president to
succeed.
They will do everything in their
power to defeat this president,
not because hes not
accomplishing things.
They are just power hungry and
they are using the most vile
thing. You can do race every
day to portray Trump as a racist.
Racist
Donald Trump is not a racist. He
is not.
They need to stop playing the
race card and give the american
voters some policy and stop the
race card.
Its ridiculous
part of what bothers
me and a lot of Americans is the
hypocrisy because, like I said,
Clinton and Obama and
Bernie Sanders, no one ever even
thought that this was part of
being racist by going to
Mount Rushmore for goodness
sakes
thats the biggest problem
ive seen. The biggest exposure
of the Democrats is that problem
of hypocrisy, that they have
youve got everything from this
allegation, so its okay for
Democrats to come, but a
Republican cant, and you start
laying that down on a whole
series of violations of what I
would call moral code of the
United States in our country.
Its okay for the Democrats to
violate that moral code, but they
are going to attack the
president and the Republicans
every way they can, and I think
LEO is right. What happens? Is
they dont have any kind of
policy initiatives to make this
country a more perfect union? So
what theyre going to do is
castigate everybody else and
attack those who love this
country, who believe that we are
founded on greatness and thats,
where they are going to be that
the hypocrisy is how they live
and choose to campaign and do
everything that they condemn.
You want to know what they are
doing. Look at what the
Democrats are condemning us for
thats what they are doing and
thats the hypocrisy thats the
evidence of the hypocrisy,
one of the things
the president mentioned before
he got on air force. One this
morning was the incredible jobs
numbers that have come out in
this economy: good news for the
economy, but some of these other
networks didnt even cover this.
They didnt even mention it.
They wanted to just play on the
idea that this was some sort of
white supremacy event. By going
to Mount Rushmore
thats, where its all
ridiculous at the left will
shape the narrative in any way
that they can to be anti trump,
they dont want this economy to
rebound or for President Trump
to succeed. But we need to keep
telling the truth, and the truth
is that this president has built
the greatest economy and the
lowest unemployment, and that has
been for minorities and all
Americans, and he has built it
once and he is going to rebuild
it again.
We are pushing through a very
difficult time in american
history and thats why he is a
wartime president, but he will
push through in leadership, and
we have had so many other things
in our nation that we have had
to push through with courage and
leadership in the Democrats want
to hold that. They want to focus
on the negative and we have to
reject the premise of their
argument and have to push
forward and truth, which is that
President Trump has built it
once and will build again, and he
is the only option for two thousand and twenty that
will secure and protect our
rights and liberties. That are
founders recognized given by God
and creator, and he understands
it is the sole purpose of
government to serve and protect
those rights.
That is not what Joe Biden in
the radical left stand for.
They dont want to give you
liberty and freedom.
I think the whole
election is going to be about
liberty and freedom and the
economy, and I dont see that
Joe Biden has any economic
agenda and if he does, he is
hiding it awfully well there in
his basement in Delaware,.
