donald j. trump ran for office to represent the average working american patriot who is sick and tired of their country being sold out, sick and tired of an arrogant bureaucracy which you just discussed, the whole notion of what the fbi was doing, it was exactly why the american people were upset. trump has proven he has great courage. he took it to them to have three years of getting beaten up every single day, he didn't back off 1 inch. he kept coming. i think the average, my guess is his potential now is somewhere between 55 and 60% when the election is over, between the economy more african-americans employed than ever before, more latinos employed, wages going up, and the value choice between

thanks to you and many like you around the world, donald j. trump is president of the united states of america today. cheers and applause] he has a vision. he didn't come from the bubble here in washington. he's an outsider like i am. this guy's focused on getting results, guys. after eight years of the lowest economic growth in u.s. history under barack obama, president trump said, the job, one, was to grow the economy. i was honored to be in a small group in the white house two weeks after president trump was inaugurated to determine the agenda for the first two years. we agreed to focus on regulation, energy, taxes and dodd-frank. and guess what. the president went to work and made it happen, guys. in the first two years, you know we talk about the shining object of the democrats all the time. in the first two years, under president trump's leadership, right away we reversed over 2,000 regulations. we unleashed america's energy potential. and became the world's largest provider of natural gas and oil in the world.

>> yes, but is he going to copy donald j. trump and boeat trump at his own game?th, facts, that's the game biden is capable of winning. >> one of the issues for 2020 democrats has been reparations for slavery. yesterday there was a hearing in the house about that. do you think the conversation is moving in the right direction? >> i do. i think it's the right direction. none of us were alive when we did this as a nation, bondage of human beings, a terrible sin against humanity and a blot on our record. we can do something about it now from the standpoint of not only saying to ourselves and the people in this country, we're sorry, we're going to make amends, but to the world. the united states is that beacon of humanity's hope, and if we let down our standards, well, we're ruined and the world is poorer for it. if we stole our standards and say, look what we're doing, we want to make amends, i think it does us all a good. the problem is, don, figuring out the structure for reparations. you can't just throw a bunch of money at everybody and say, here, take some money
