[applause] president trump: -- years. more four more years. president trump: at no time before have voters faced a clearer choice between two parties, to visions, two agendas.ies or two

this election will decide whether we save the american dream or whether we allow a socialist agenda to demolish our cherished destiny. [applause] trump: it will decide whether we rapidly create millions of high-paying jobs, or whether we crush our industries and said millions of these jobs overseas, as has foolishly been done for many decades. your vote will decide whether we protect law-abiding americans or whether we give free reign to violent and artists -- violent anarchists, agitators and criminals who threaten our citizens. and this election will decide whether we will defend the american way of life or whether we will allow a radical movement to completely dismantle and destroy it. that won't happen.

going to touch social security and medicare, now he is trying to destroy that with a payroll tax. and it will be over in three years. another thing i want to tell the american people, some people may not know. this is a fact. harris, she mentioned about we know he did, a good job on viruses, like and anyway, he put places around the world to detect viruses. and china was one of them. happened, they were doing a good job to control the viruses. and then trump dismantled that. that is why we have this now,

with 180,000 people dead or more. host: tony in texas. we will go to maine. jeanette is supporting the president. hi. are you with us? you are on the air. caller: hello. hi. host: good morning. why are you supporting the president? caller: i support president trump because he is a god loving man and he is pro-life. we have no right to kill unborn babies. and we hope and pray people stop all this killing and shooting and looting. thank you very much, president trump. god bless you and god bless the usa. hill,kathleen in chestnut massachusetts, supporting the former vice president. caller: he has a lack of empathy. i mean, people are hanging on their own -- with the flooding.

and people are hungry. they are worried about their kids' safety. they do not trust donald trump with their lives of their children. he puts a rosy glow on everything. everything will be fine, it will be perfect. just follow me, i am the pied piper. no matter what, no matter what they just are not in touch with reality. you know, they are in this ivory tower up there. you know, all his friends are billionaires and he just -- anybody that does not agree with him, he says they are people vil, almost.e e they are going to destroy the country. they are going to move into your

neighborhood. i live in chestnut hill and people from all over the world are welcome. that is what makes us great. this fear, the fear mongering is -- i -- and all those flags. and using the white house for all of this pageantry. i just think of people in other countries -- the europeans must be going crazy with watching just our government, detached from people dying and discussing it. what are we going to do? we have no platform. we are not discussing what health care we will give you. he is in court trying to dismantle obamacare. i mean, people are going to need health care. host: i need to give other people a chance as well. allison in louisville, kentucky,

supporting the president. good morning. caller: good morning. the reason i think we should have donald trump for another term is because i think that trump has done things that other presidents were scared to do. have he took office, we come back from where we were and we have come up a lot better. and now everybody is trying to put them back out of office. the man is trying to do good for people like me that draws disability, that needs help. and the veterans stuff. four-starther was a general in world war ii and was killed, ok? all these people defacing these statues and police and all that, i think that is uncalled for. talk about defunding the police department, if we do not have police we will be dodged city. host: the president addressed

the issue of defunding the police last night. [video clip] president trump: they will confiscate your guns and appoint justices who will wipe away your second amendment and other constitutional freedoms. biden is a trojan horse for socialism. if he does not have the strength to stand up to wild item eyedsts like -- wild bernie sanders and his radicals, then how will he ever stand up for you? he is not. the most dangerous aspect of the biden platform is the attack on public safety. en-bernie manifesto calls for abolishing cash bail, immediately releasing 400,000 criminals onto the streets and into your neighborhoods. when asked if he supports

cutting police funding, joe biden replied, yes, absolutely. eden congresswoman omar call the minneapolis police department a cancer that is rotten to the root, biden would not disavow her support. he proudly displayed her endorsement shortly later on his website. displayed in big letters. make no mistake, if you give power to joe biden, the radical left will defund police departments all across america. they will pass federal legislation to reduce law enforcement nationwide. they will make every city look like democrat run portland, oregon. no one will be safe in joe biden's america. host: now, the head of the convention, the biden campaign released this ad.

[video clip] >> the basic duty of government is to defend the lives of its own citizens. in a government that fails to do so is unworthy to lead. we will lead our country back to safety, prosperity and peace. we will be a country of generosity and warmth. and anyone who endorses violence, hatred or oppression countryelcome in our and never ever will be. endured one have humiliation after another. i alone can fix it. history is watching us now. it's waiting to see if we will rise to the occasion, and if we will show the whole world that america is still free and independent and strong. >> i'm joe biden and i approve

this message. host: an ad released by the democratic national committee, joe biden and the kamala harris campaign. we are asking who you are supporting, president trump and to the vice president, or the former vice president and senator kamala harris. travis in south carolina. good morning, why do you support joe biden? caller: because i support somebody who actually has integrity and does not lie during their convention on national television. quite frankly, i want america to actually do well. it seems like trump does not know how to do anything except file for bankruptcy and everything illegal. host: ok, travis. a caller supporting the president. caller: yes, i support the president because he is the best president we have ever had. he is fighting for the american people, he is fighting to save this country, and he is the only

thing saving us right now from the democrats. he stands for the things god stands for. he stands by israel. i mean, he is really fighting for us. and i hate all the stuff he goes through from the democrats. it's illegal what they put him through. him for alld thank the good he has done. it's a shame. now, nancy pelosi is trying to say she does not want joe biden to debate him. i think the american people need to demand that they have adb -- have a debate. host: jeffrey in massachusetts, supporting the president, jeffrey? caller: yes? host: good morning. did you watch last night? caller: yes, i did watch. the republicans have an advantage. i am a republican, but i look at

these things from a broadcast standpoint. anytime you go last, you have the advantage, so their convention was better because the democrats, it was vanilla. it was so rehearsed and everything was on film. the fact the president had a live audience really helped to get in the campaign mood. that's not why i called. i'm voting for donald trump, and i mean, he is positive. if you look at what he promised promised quitee a few things and most of them he accomplished. so that is why i am voting for him. joe biden has not done anything for 47 years, and i do not think that is going to change. trump will figure out what to do that he did not do correctly and i think he will rectify the situation. he is much more positive. i am not going to not joe biden, really. i wantositive person, so

to accentuate the positives with the president here. i'm voting for him not because of his tweets or his personality, but people are voting against him for that reason. i'm voting for policy. that policy is or are -- i am a law and order guy. we do not have law and order currently. there's violence, you cannot have that. i am also free speech. whether i agree or disagree with you, i would defend your right to disagree, but not with violence. two, he closed up the borders. three, the economy was never better, until we had the china virus. and we will get it back. nasdaq broke a record. s&p is going to break the record. he is on the right track. and i like the fact that he will not be killing babies, either. host: hang on the line, i want to show you and whether viewers what kamala harris had to say

yesterday about the protests and the ongoing violence. [video clip] >> people are rightfully angry and exhausted. after the murders of breonna taylor, george, and it so many others, it is no wonder that people are taking to the streets. and i support them. we must always defend peaceful protests and peaceful protesters. we should not confuse them with those looting and committing acts of violence, including the shooter arrested for murder. make no mistake, we will not let these vigilantes and extremists derail the path to justice. those my promise to mothers, fathers and all who stand with them, in a bi

den-harris administration, you will have a seat at the table. in the halls of congress and in the white house. host: jeffrey? caller: yes, i am here. host: what did you think? caller: i think she is a phony and she is saying all of this after the fact. why didn't she say that when all of this was going on? she is saying it because it is politically correct. this is not about joe biden, he is a figurehead. the left-wing progressive socialists are trying to take over the country. sanders's.the bernie i think what they will have to do is just put more pressure on joe biden, and then they will try to take it over. that's my theory. host: ok. nancy in new york, supporting the president. good morning. did you watch last night? caller: i did. i was so impressed with the

president. he's supporting us, backing our country. he is supporting the constitution. we need rights. away,ghts are being taken like free speech, the right to bear arms. there his writing. the democrats are doing nothing to stop it. it is so obvious. and if people are not able to see that, i do not know how anybody can support the democrats. the republicans are backing law and order and that is what we need, the best for our country and the best for my kids' future. host: in washington today, the annual march on washington. this year, the march is "get your knee off our necks." it begins at 11:00 a.m. eastern time. folks are gathering on the national mall for the rally today, and the march.

and thenl be speakers, the group -- and they are expecting thousands -- they will them march over to the martin luther king monument. our coverage of the rally begins here on c-span at 11:00 a.m., and on our website, c-span.org. or listen with the free c-span radio app, as well. stanley supporting joe biden. good morning. caller: that is right. this is one of the most corrupt presidents i have ever seen. everybody sitting together like that, no masks. first of all, joe biden is not a socialist. he wants to help people with their insurance. if donald trump stays, social security will be gone. my union supports joe biden, that is another reason. gotp got all of them -- you money, he has rudy giuliani'

s son working for him. he has his son-in-law getting paid in his campaign. girlfriendtrump's makes $200,000 a month, she does nothing. is using the cash count -- he is using the office as a cash cow. everything he touches, dies. his university was a fraud. his charity was a fraud. even his nice says he is -- nei ce says he is a fraud. i do not like him. i think he is a con artist. this virus would not have been as bad if he paid attention to the virus at the beginning and cap the country closed. we would not be in this shape today. but 100,080 people have died -- 180 thousand people have died and he says he is doing a good job. host: did you vote for hillary

clinton? caller: i did. if she won, we would not be in this mess. police.t defunding the he is adding money to the police department. amebody said -- someone, like husband and wife dispute, should not take a police officer to go out. it should be a social worker, not a police officer. not taking -- he's away guns. he's not taking away your insurance. he will save social security and donald trump will take it away, if he does that tax cut. that is where social security gets its money. he hates the post office, because -- he needs anything that is union. he needs anything that is union. let me talk to the people in new jersey for one moment. hit?emember when sandy host: let me move on to andrea and connecticut.

andrea, you are undecided. caller: i was undecided. i want to address that gentlemen. host: what are you now? caller: i am going with the president. host: you have to call back on the correct line. autumn in arkansas, supporting the president. caller: good morning. host: good morning. thenr: i watched the dnc, the rnc. it's. a complete contrast my concerns -- it's a complete contrast. my concern is people do not do the proper research. it is hard to research anymore because everything is being censored. my thing is if people actually website and follow where the funding is going, it is going directly to the democratic platform. if people looked and followed

the breadcrumbs, they would see that these riots are being funded. i live in a minority community, i am the minority. not ae -- blm is grassroots movement. it's not. and they are using this as a platform to take on the president, and if you look, all in a things going on are democratic state, if you pay attention. the news is not covering it and they are not peaceful at all. i have family members in that state. i used to be a democrat. me thateally saddens people will not shut off the news and question why these people hate trump so much, because the majority of people love him. i do research and i see live streams from different

countries, because i want to know where we stand, and people are rooting for him. that's in fact. host: -- rudy giuliani also had a speaking slot on the republican national convention. he about the ongoing protest. here's what he had to say. [video clip] >> the unprecedented wave of lawlessness began with a truly just cause. the unforgivable police killing of george floyd in minneapolis. all overprotest began the land. the combination of the killing was universal from president trump to democrat leaders. brief moments, it seemed that leaders would come together with a unified proposal to reduce police misconduct. this possibility was very dangerous to the left.
