the choice in this election is whether america remains america.t is whether we will leave to our children and our grandchildren a country grounded in our highest ideals of freedom, free markets, and the unalienable right to life and liberty or whether we will leave them a country that is fundamentally transformed into something else. we stand at a crossroads, america. president trump has set our nation on a path of freedom and opportunity. set america on a path of socialism and decline. but we are not going to let it happen.

pence: good, america.o youn honor to speak tonight from the hallowed grounds of fort mchenry, the site of the very battle that inspired the words of our national anthem. those words have inspired this land of heroes in every generation since. 6 yearson this site 20 ago when our young republic heroically withstood a ferocious naval bombardment from the most powerful empire on earth. they came to crush our revolution, to divide our nation , and to end the american experiment. the heroes who held this fort took their stand for life, liberty, freedom, and the american flag. and those ideals have to defined our nation. but they were hardly ever mentioned in last week's democratic national convention. instead, democrats spent four attacking america. joe biden said that we were living through a season of darkness, but as president trump said, where joe biden sees we seen darkness, american greatness. [applause] these challenging times, our country needs a president who believes in america, who believes in the bou

from that moment forward, america came first. america started winning again.merica became respected again. with every movement, there is a counter movement. if you are the radical democrats, america is a source of the world's problems. they believe the only path forward is to erase history and forget the past. they want to destroy the monuments of our forefathers. they want to disrespect our flag. the stars & stripes that represent patriotism and the american dream. they want to disrespect our national anthem by taking a knee while our armed forces lay down their lives every day to protect our freedom. they do not want the pledge of allegiance in our schools. many don't want one nation under god. the democrats want to defund and disrespect our law enforcement. the democrats want an america where your thoughts and opinions are censored when they do not align with their own. president reagan said freedom is never more than one generation away from extension. it must be fought for and protected. this is a fight we are in right now. it is a fight that only my fath

[cheering] if we may turn to the future, we must recognize that the foreign policy problems will be different and they will be vastly more difficult than those of the 1950's of which we have just passed. we are in a race for survival in which our lives, our fortunes, our liberties are at stake. we are ahead now, but the only way to stay ahead in a race is to move ahead. the next president will make decisions that will determine whether we win or whether we lose this race. what must we do? these things i believe. he must resolve, first and above all, that the united states must never settle for second-best in anything.

that is our america. that is the america i believe in. that is the america i know we believe in. and as we embark on this campaign, i will tell you this, i am not perfect. lord knows i am not perfect. but i will always speak with decency and moral clarity, and treat all people with dignity and respect.

this is all about whether america remains america. well, whose america?uch what we have seen over the last two weeks with the democratic convention earlier and now the republican convention, both presenting starkly different visions of the future. on point, he did make mention of hurricane laura menacing the gulf coast at the moment and spoke of sacrifices and hardship of this year like no other that it is as if they we re no other that it is as if they were passed. what you make of the tone and whether the speech felt, whether the administration feels in touch with the sacrifices, hardships and tragedies around america at the moment. i think they are playing to a specific audience tonight because most of the support that the republicans will enjoy or do enjoy come from the rural heartland. most cities in america which have borne the brunt of the deaths from the pandemic have been in democratic areas where there have been greater calls for lockdowns, for social controls, for distancing, for wearing of masks. the america that i think we have heard being ad

[laughter] [cheers and applause] and told them he felt their pain. and then he flew back to washington and voted to shipped our jobs to china and many other distant lands. joe biden spent his entire career outsourcing their dreams and the dreams of american workers. off shoring their jobs, opening their borders, and sending their sons and daughters to fight an endless foreign wars, wars that never ended. a four years ago, i ran for president because i could not watch this betrayal of our country any longer. i could not sit by his career politicians lead to countries take advantage of us on trade, borders, foreign policy, and national defense. our nato partners, as an examp example, were very far behind in their defense payments. but at my strong urging, they agreed to pay $130 billion mo

america is that from jesus's cement on the mount. america is that shining city.e are the beacon of hope for the world — sermon. at this point in time, president donald trump is the amount of the courage, the vision and the ability to keep it shining brightly. that was ben carson the secretary of housing and urban development and a presidential candidate in 2015. jane is still standing by in front of the west wing. what did you think? he tackled head on the allegations from many of president trump as my critics that he is racist. carson said directly that nothing could be more wrong and he went on to say that the president is someone say that the president is someone who does not submit to identity politics and its forces and does not dabble in identity politics. there you have it, robust different of criticism, allegations that he has used racially insensitive language and allegations that sometimes that language veers into outright racism. coming from ben carson, obviously, i was talking a few minutes ago about the number of african—american speakers we have had

we will make america stronger. we will make america stronger. we will make america proud of.l make america greater than ever before, i am very, very proud to be the nominee of the republican party. i love you all, god bless you and god bless america. thank you very much. cheering and applause. song. president donald trump, accepting his party ‘s nomination to run for a second term of office. he spoke for one hour and ten minutes from the south lawn of the white house, a highly controversial location, given the political nature of his speed and now fireworks are being sent off near the washington monument. 2020, you can see that, as well as the name trump. within the grounds is our correspondent. jane, can you hear the fireworks and what did you of this speech? i am struggling to hear anything else above the noise of the fireworks going off, proclaiming trump 2020, and using not just off, proclaiming trump 2020, and using notjust the white house as the backdrop for a political party but also the washington monument on the national lawn. the hallowed ground of american history.

as america at this point in time. but if you take a step back, and think, what is it that america could do if it wanted to, it could rally the western world, europe, japan, it could add to that india, much of southeast asia in saying we need a proper strategic response to the emerging power and more aggressive position of china and we need to rally together in order to provide that. and we should do that not just in the basis of our interest, but in the basis of certain values, america could do that. it could say what this global pandemic has taught us is that we need to be prepared as a world for the next pandemic, and we have to create the capability and institutional capability, globally in order to do that, it could probably say in relation so climate change, we have got as good a chance as any in america and certainly in conjunction with our allies of developing the technology and science that will allow us to consume sustainably. it could probably be the leader of the process of modernization in the middle east.

the future america must choose and with your help and with your commitment, it is the future america will choose. but there is another possible feature. and that other future i see despair. despair of millions who would struggle for equal opportunity in a better life and struggle alone. i see surrender, the surrender of our energy future to the merchants of oil. the surrender of our economic future to a bizarre program of massive tax cuts to the rich, service cuts to the poor and massive inflation for everyone. and i see risk, the risk of international confrontation, the risk of an uncontrollable, unaffordable and unwinnable nuclear arms race. no one, democratic or republican consciously seek such a future. i do question the disturbing commitments and policies already made by reagan and those with him have now captured republic captured control of the republican party. the consequences of those commitments and policies would drive us on the wrong road. it's up to all of us to make sure america rejects this alarming and even perilous destiny. the only way to build a better future as t

a fight to keep america true to america.ment based on results and not rhetoric. if you believe in criminal justice reform, there is only one president that passed the first act giving people a second chance, a chance at a life again . if you believe in expanding the quality and affordable health care, only president trump, my ofher, signed the law favored nations and other actions to lower drug prices and keep americans from getting ripped off. people must recognize that our thoughts, opinions and the choice of who we are voting for may be manipulated and coerced by the media and tech giants. if you tune into the media you get a biased opinion, and what you share, if it does not fit into the narrative, then it is ignored or deemed a lie regardless of the truth. this regulation of information ,e receive in peds our freedom rather than allowing americans the right to form our own beliefs, this misinformation system keeps people mentally enslaved. this is unnecessary divisiveness. why are so many in the media and technology and
