1
00:00:00,0 --> 00:00:06,704
IVANKA TRUMP STANDING UP TO INTRODUCE 
HER FATHER DONALD 

2
00:00:06,706 --> 00:00:04,908
TRUMP ABOUT TO UNVEIL HIS PROPOSAL 
TO MAKE CHILDCARE MORE 

3
00:00:04,910 --> 00:00:06,258
AFFORDABLE AND MORE ACCESSIBLE 
FOR MERRICK AND WORKING 

4
00:00:06,260 --> 00:00:10,386
FAMILIES. HERE SHE IS. 

5
00:00:10,388 --> 00:00:12,876
HER CHILDREN HAD BEEN HOSPITALIZED 
AND SHE WAS JAILED 

6
00:00:12,878 --> 00:00:15,413
AND CHARGED WITH FELONY CHILD ABUSE. 

7
00:00:15,415 --> 00:00:19,777
AS I HAVE TRAVELED AROUND THE COUNTRY 
WITH MY FATHER STORIES 

8
00:00:19,779 --> 00:00:23,434
ABOUT HARDSHIPS CAUSED BY OUR INSISTING 
CHILDCARE SYSTEM ONE 

9
00:00:23,436 --> 00:00:27,508
THAT IS TOO EXPENSIVE, TOO OUTDATED 
INTO THE INACCESSIBLE 

10
00:00:27,510 --> 00:00:32,125
COME UP TIME AND TIME AGAIN. JUST 
LAST WEEK I SPOKE WITH A 

11
00:00:32,127 --> 00:00:36,453
MILITARY SPOUSE WHO RECOUNTED THE 
VICIOUS CYCLE RESPONSIBLE 

12
00:00:36,455 --> 00:00:39,429
FOR HOLDING SO MANY AMERICAN FAMILIES 
BACK ECONOMICALLY. 

13
00:00:39,431 --> 00:00:43,84
SHE RELAYED TO ME THE FRUSTRATION 
I HAVE HEARD ALL TOO 

14
00:00:43,86 --> 00:00:46,468
OFTEN OF NOT BEING ABLE TO WORK 
AND BRING HOME A SECOND INCOME 

15
00:00:46,470 --> 00:00:52,388
BECAUSE SHE CAN'T AFFORD QUALITY 
AND RELIABLE CHILDCARE. 

16
00:00:52,390 --> 00:00:56,211
STORIES LIKE THESE GO STRAIGHT 
TO MY HEART AND THEY FIELD MY 

17
00:00:56,213 --> 00:00:59,866
BELIEF THAT THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER 
WAY. 

18
00:00:59,868 --> 00:01:01,355
I HAVE THREE YOUNG CHILDREN MYSELF 
AND I AM GRATEFUL DAILY 

19
00:01:01,357 --> 00:01:05,629
FOR THE MEANS TO PURSUE TWO OF 
MY DREAMS, BEING A MOTHER AND 

20
00:01:05,631 --> 00:01:10,146
INVESTING IN A CAREER THAT FULFILLS 
ME. 

21
00:01:10,148 --> 00:01:13,411
I RECOGNIZE THAT FAR TOO FEW WOMEN 
CAN SAY THE SAME FOR 

22
00:01:13,413 --> 00:01:16,221
THEMSELVES AND THAT I AM MORE FORTUNATE 
THAN MOST. 

23
00:01:16,223 --> 00:01:20,986
THIS MUST CHANGE. AS A SOCIETY 
WE NEED TO CREATE 

24
00:01:20,988 --> 00:01:24,946
POLICIES TO CHAMPION ALL PARENTS 
ENABLING THE AMERICAN FAMILY TO 

25
00:01:24,948 --> 00:01:28,802
THRIVE. MY DAD AGREES THAT HE'S 
IN A 

26
00:01:28,804 --> 00:01:32,911
VERY UNIQUE POSITION TO DO SOMETHING 
ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND 

27
00:01:32,913 --> 00:01:35,375
THE NUMEROUS OTHER PROBLEMS FACING 
TENS OF MILLIONS OF 

28
00:01:35,377 --> 00:01:40,594
PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS ACROSS OUR 
COUNTRY. 

29
00:01:40,596 --> 00:01:43,434
TODAY CHILDCARE IS THE SINGLE GREATEST 
EXPENSE FOR MANY 

30
00:01:43,436 --> 00:01:47,884
AMERICAN FAMILIES EVEN EXCEEDING 
THE COST OF HOUSING IN MUCH OF 

31
00:01:47,886 --> 00:01:51,955
THE COUNTRY. IT'S DEPLETING THE 
HARD-EARNED 

32
00:01:51,957 --> 00:01:56,804
SAVINGS OF MEN AND WOMEN ACROSS 
OUR NATION AND IT'S AT THE ROOT 

33
00:01:56,806 --> 00:01:54,332
OF WAGE INEQUALITY BY DISPROPORTIONATELY 
AFFECTING 

34
00:01:54,334 --> 00:01:58,164
WOMEN. THE FEDERAL POLICIES THAT 
ARE IN 

35
00:01:58,166 --> 00:02:00,50
PLACE TO BENEFIT FAMILIES WERE 
WRITTEN MORE THAN 65 YEARS AGO 

36
00:02:00,52 --> 00:02:07,60
TO SERVE A PRIMARILY MALE WORKFORCE 
THAT NO LONGER EXISTS. 

37
00:02:07,62 --> 00:02:13,731
DUAL INCOME FAMILIES WERE NOT THE 
NORM IN 1949 WHEN THE 

38
00:02:13,733 --> 00:02:12,717
CURRENT TAX CODE PROVISIONS REGARDING 
FAMILIES WERE 

39
00:02:12,719 --> 00:02:16,386
ESTABLISHED. TODAY HOWEVER WOMEN 
REPRESENT 

40
00:02:16,388 --> 00:02:20,753
47% OF THE WESLEY REPORT AND ITS 
ALMOST TWO-THIRDS OF MARRIED 

41
00:02:20,755 --> 00:02:25,391
COUPLES, BOTH SPOUSES WORK OUTSIDE 
OF THE HOME. 

42
00:02:25,393 --> 00:02:29,128
70% OF MOTHERS WITH CHILDREN AT 
HOME ALSO WORK IN A PROFESSIONAL 

43
00:02:29,130 --> 00:02:34,667
CAPACITY AND 64% OF THESE MOMS 
HAVE KIDS AGED SIX AND UNDER. 

44
00:02:34,669 --> 00:02:37,638
THE NUMBER OF HOUSEHOLDS LED BY 
SINGLE MOTHERS HAS DOUBLED IN 

45
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:43,223
THE LAST 20 YEARS AND APPROXIMATELY 
TWO-THIRDS OF 

46
00:02:43,225 --> 00:02:45,903
THESE WOMEN WORK IN LOW-WAGE JOBS 
THAT OFFER NEITHER 

47
00:02:45,905 --> 00:02:51,718
FLEXIBILITY NOR BENEFITS. MY FATHER 
HAS CREATED A PLAN 

48
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:57,199
THAT IS DESIGNED TO BRING RELIEF 
AND TO PROVIDE WORKING PARENTS 

49
00:02:57,201 --> 00:03:00,693
WITH OPTIONS SO THAT THEY CAN MAKE 
THE DECISIONS THAT ARE IN 

50
00:03:00,695 --> 00:03:05,886
THE BEST INTEREST OF THEIR FAMILIES. 

51
00:03:05,888 --> 00:03:06,199
SAFE, AFFORDABLE, HIGH-QUALITY 
CHILDCARE SHOULD NOT BE THE 

52
00:03:06,201 --> 00:03:11,733
LUXURY OF A FORTUNATE FEW. HISTORICALLY 
THIS HAS NOT BEEN 

53
00:03:11,735 --> 00:03:14,473
AN AREA THAT HAS RECEIVED NEARLY 
AS MUCH ATTENTION IN THE POLICY 

54
00:03:14,475 --> 00:03:16,376
WORLD AS IT DESERVES. WHILE THERE 
ARE SYSTEMS IN PLACE 

55
00:03:16,378 --> 00:03:21,416
FOR OLDER CHILDREN HARDLY ANY INTELLECTUAL 
ENERGY HAS BEEN 

56
00:03:21,418 --> 00:03:26,412
DEVOTED TO ADDRESSING THE NEEDS 
OF FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN FROM 

57
00:03:26,414 --> 00:03:31,817
BIRTH TO FOUR YEARS OLD. IN PARTICULAR 
LITTLE FOCUS HAS 

58
00:03:31,819 --> 00:03:33,927
BEEN PUT ON DETERMINING HOW BEST 
TO ALLEVIATE ENORMOUS FINANCIAL 

59
00:03:33,929 --> 00:03:36,729
BURDEN'S CHILDCARE PLACES ONGOING, 
AND MIDDLE INCOME 

60
00:03:36,731 --> 00:03:41,867
FAMILIES. AT THE SAME TIME THE 
UNITED 

61
00:03:41,869 --> 00:03:45,272
STATES IS THE ONLY INDUSTRIALIZED 
NATION IN THE 

62
00:03:45,274 --> 00:03:46,673
WORLD THAT DOES NOT PROVIDE NEW 
MOTHERS WITH PAID MATERNITY 

63
00:03:46,675 --> 00:03:52,111
LEAVE. MY FATHER'S POLICY WILL 
GIVE 

64
00:03:52,113 --> 00:03:54,981
PAID LEAVE TO MOTHERS WHOSE EMPLOYERS 
ARE ALL AMONG THE 90% 

65
00:03:54,983 --> 00:03:56,949
OF U.S. BUSINESSES THAT CURRENTLY 
DO NOT OFFER THIS 

66
00:03:56,951 --> 00:04:02,88
BENEFIT. THIS IS A REFORM THAT 
IS OF 

67
00:04:02,90 --> 00:04:06,792
CRITICAL VALUE AND LONG OVERDUE. 
MY FATHER'S PLAN ALSO RECOGNIZES 

68
00:04:06,794 --> 00:04:13,967
AND SUPPORTS THE MANY WOMEN WHO 
MAY NOT BE MOTHERS BUT WHO HAVE 

69
00:04:13,969 --> 00:04:15,301
LESS PAYING JOBS TO PROVIDE CARE 
FOR ELDERLY DEPENDENTS. 

70
00:04:15,303 --> 00:04:17,871
THIS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF PEOPLE 
WHO BEEN ROUTINELY 

71
00:04:17,873 --> 00:04:24,110
IGNORED BY FEDERAL POLICIES. HAVING 
EMPLOYED AND EMPOWERED 

72
00:04:24,113 --> 00:04:28,648
THOUSANDS OF WOMEN AT EVERY LEVEL 
OF THIS COMPANY THROUGHOUT 

73
00:04:28,651 --> 00:04:31,761
HIS ENTIRE CAREER MY FATHER UNDERSTANDS 
THE NEEDS OF THE 

74
00:04:31,763 --> 00:04:35,526
MODERN WORKFORCE AND IS OFFERING 
A NEW AND INNOVATIVE SOLUTION 

75
00:04:35,528 --> 00:04:40,192
WHERE OTHERS HAVE NOT. MY FATHER'S 
PLAN ALSO 

76
00:04:40,195 --> 00:04:41,528
ACKNOWLEDGE IS THE VITAL CONTRIBUTIONS 
OF STAY-AT-HOME 

77
00:04:41,530 --> 00:04:47,33
MOMS AND PARENTS, FATHERS AND MOTHERS, 
WHO WILL ENSURE THAT 

78
00:04:47,36 --> 00:04:50,236
THEY TOO WILL RECEIVE THIS NEW 
TAX BENEFIT. 

79
00:04:50,239 --> 00:04:53,773
RAISING CHILDREN FULL-TIME IS ONE 
OF THE HARDEST JOBS ANYONE 

80
00:04:53,776 --> 00:04:58,445
CAN DO AND IT'S ESSENTIAL THAT 
OUR POLICIES RECOGNIZED AND 

81
00:04:58,447 --> 00:05:03,884
HONORED THAT REALITY. AS AN EMPLOYER, 
A MOTHER AND A 

82
00:05:03,886 --> 00:05:09,890
WOMAN WHO WORKS BOTH INSIDE AND 
OUTSIDE THE HOME, THESE ARE 

83
00:05:09,892 --> 00:05:14,994
TOPICS I CONSIDER CRITICAL IN IMPORTANCE. 

84
00:05:14,997 --> 00:05:29,617
THE POLICY MY FATHER IS ABOUT TO 
OUTLINE IS ONE THAT I AM PROUD 

85
00:05:29,619 --> 00:05:33,546
TO HAVE HELPED CONCEPTUALIZE AND 
INSURING ITS ANNOUNCEMENT WILL 

86
00:05:33,548 --> 00:05:41,188
BE ONE OF MY TOP PRIORITIES WHEN 
HE IS ELECTED COME NOVEMBER. 

87
00:05:41,190 --> 00:05:47,408
[APPLAUSE] THIS IS NOT A WOMEN'S 
ISSUE. 

88
00:05:47,410 --> 00:05:44,435
IT'S A FAMILY ISSUE, IT'S AN AMERICAN 
ISSUE. 

89
00:05:44,437 --> 00:05:47,512
IT'S AN ISSUE THAT'S OFTEN DISCUSSED 
BUT IS YET TO BE 

90
00:05:47,514 --> 00:05:49,329
SOLVED. MY FATHER PLANS TO CHANGE 
THAT 

91
00:05:49,331 --> 00:05:53,600
AND NOW HE WILL TELL YOU HOW. IT 
IS WITH GREAT ADMIRATION AND 

92
00:05:53,602 --> 00:05:58,872
RESPECT THAT I INTRODUCE TO YOU 
OUR NEXT PRESIDENT AND MY 

93
00:05:58,874 --> 00:06:11,684
FATHER, DONALD J. TRUMP. [APPLAUSE] 

94
00:06:11,687 --> 00:06:19,493
[APPLAUSE] THANK YOU. 

95
00:06:19,495 --> 00:06:23,696

THANK YOU EVERYBODY. THAT'S VERY 
NICE. 

97
00:06:27,469 --> 00:06:32,71
[APPLAUSE] THANK YOU VERY MUCH 
AND I WANT 

98
00:06:32,74 --> 00:06:34,540
TO APPLAUD MY DAUGHTER IVANKA FOR 
HER LEADERSHIP ON THIS 

99
00:06:34,542 --> 00:06:38,377
ISSUE. SHE HAS BEEN WORKING SO 
VERY 

100
00:06:38,380 --> 00:06:42,48
HARD. [APPLAUSE] 

101
00:06:42,50 --> 00:06:44,785
IVANKA HAS BEEN DEEPLY INVESTED 
IN THIS SINCE LONG BEFORE THE 

102
00:06:44,787 --> 00:06:48,187
CAMPAIGN BEGAN I CAN TELL YOU THAT 
AND I'M VERY GRATEFUL TO 

103
00:06:48,190 --> 00:06:51,725
HER FOR HER WORK, HER EFFORTS AND 
THIS PROPOSAL WHICH WE ARE 

104
00:06:51,727 --> 00:06:56,329
GOING TO BE OUTLINING RIGHT AWAY. 

105
00:06:56,331 --> 00:06:58,864
I THINK IT'S GOING TO MAKE A LOT 
OF PEOPLE VERY HAPPY, A LOT OF 

106
00:06:58,867 --> 00:07:03,536
MOMS VERY HAPPY. [APPLAUSE] 

107
00:07:03,539 --> 00:07:07,239
I WANT TO ALSO TAKE A MOMENT TO 
RECOGNIZE CONGRESSWOMAN CATHY 

108
00:07:07,242 --> 00:07:11,845
MET DORIS ROGERS THE CHAIRWOMAN

CONFERENCE AND A MOTHER OF THREE 
SMALL CHILDREN WHO HAS BEEN SUCH 

110
00:07:17,753 --> 00:07:19,585
A LEADER AND WORKS SO HARD WITH 
US. 

111
00:07:19,588 --> 00:07:23,290

MUCH. 

112
00:07:23,292 --> 00:07:27,194

117
00:08:04,32 --> 00:08:16,9
MY NAME IS MARJAH BLACK URN URN 
-- BLACK URN AND I'M FROM 

118
00:08:16,11 --> 00:08:18,945
THE GREAT STATE OF TENNESSEE. [APPLAUSE] 

119
00:08:18,947 --> 00:08:23,849
I WANT TO SAY TO ALL OF YOU WITH 
A WARM RECEPTION THAT YOU HAVE 

120
00:08:23,851 --> 00:08:31,291
GIVEN TO US AND I WANT TO SAY A 
SPECIAL THANK YOU TO MR. TRUMP. 

121
00:08:31,293 --> 00:08:33,392
FOCUSING ON THE ISSUES THAT AFFECT 
WORKING WOMEN IS 

122
00:08:33,394 --> 00:08:36,62
SOMETHING THAT IS VITALLY IMPORTANT 
TO EACH OF US STANDING 

123
00:08:36,64 --> 00:08:37,731
ON THE THIS STAGE. WE COME FROM 
A VARIETY OF 

124
00:08:37,733 --> 00:08:42,135
BACKGROUNDS. WE HAVE A NURSE, WE 
HAVE 

125
00:08:42,137 --> 00:08:45,638
FARMERS, WE HAVE RANCHERS, WE HAVE 
TEACHERS. 

126
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,674
WE HAVE SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS AND 
ENTREPRENEURS. 

127
00:08:47,676 --> 00:08:54,781
THAT'S THE SKILL SET THAT WE BRING 
TO CONGRESS AND THE 

128
00:08:54,783 --> 00:08:57,83
EXPERIENCE THAT WE DRAW FROM AND 
WE KNOW THAT EACH OF YOU ARE NOT 

129
00:08:57,85 --> 00:09:02,421
LIKE US. THOSE ARE THE EXPERIENCES 
THAT 

130
00:09:02,424 --> 00:09:04,924
YOU HAVE. WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE 
ISSUES 

131
00:09:04,927 --> 00:09:08,228
WHEN IT COMES TO CHILDCARE, WHEN 
IT COMES TO DEALING WITH THE 

132
00:09:08,230 --> 00:09:15,568
WORK PLACE AND JUST AS IVANKA SAID 
SO PERFECTLY. 

133
00:09:15,570 --> 00:09:20,674
THIS IS A FAMILY ISSUE. WE KNOW 
MEN ALWAYS WANT MORE 

134
00:09:20,676 --> 00:09:23,643
MONEY. WHAT DO WOMEN WANT? 

135
00:09:23,645 --> 00:09:27,880
MORE TIME. [APPLAUSE] 

136
00:09:27,882 --> 00:09:32,484
AND WE ARE THRILLED TO FINALLY 
HAVE A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED 

137
00:09:32,486 --> 00:09:37,90
STATES WHO WAS GOING TO PUT THE 
FOCUS ON WORKING WITH WOMEN TO 

138
00:09:37,92 --> 00:09:41,828
MAKE CERTAIN THAT YOU CAN ACHIEVE 
YOUR AMERICAN DREAMS. 

139
00:09:41,830 --> 00:10:01,281
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME. 
[APPLAUSE] 

140
00:10:01,283 --> 00:10:05,651
MAYOR GIULIANI PLEASE STAND UP. 
[APPLAUSE] 

141
00:10:05,653 --> 00:10:12,591
THE NATION'S MAYOR. HE HAS DONE 
A GOOD JOB. 

142
00:10:12,593 --> 00:10:17,731
SO OUR CAMPAIGN IS ABOUT IDEAS. 
WE ARE ABOUT SOLUTIONS TO BIG, 

143
00:10:17,733 --> 00:10:21,67
BIG PROBLEMS, PROBLEMS THAT OF 
DON ON FOREVER. 

144
00:10:21,69 --> 00:10:24,169
I HAVE TRAVELED ALL OVER THE COUNTRY 
IN RECENT WEEKS OFFERING 

145
00:10:24,171 --> 00:10:30,276
DETAILED PLANS TO MAKE THINGS BETTER 
FOR YOU AND FOR YOUR 

146
00:10:30,278 --> 00:10:32,278
FAMILIES. IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO 
ME. 

147
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:38,684
I'VE OUTLINED DETAILED PROPOSALS 
BY PROVIDING SCHOOL CHOICE, WE 

148
00:10:38,687 --> 00:10:42,88
HAVE TO DO THAT, REFORMING OUR 
TAX AND REGULATORY CODES. 

149
00:10:42,90 --> 00:10:49,129
[APPLAUSE] LIFTING RESTRICTIONS 
ON AMERICAN 

150
00:10:49,131 --> 00:10:52,799
ENERGY, REBUILDING OUR MILITARY, 
CHANGING OUR FOREIGN-POLICY, 

151
00:10:52,801 --> 00:10:59,705
FIXING OUR IMMIGRATION, SO IMPORTANT, 
AND KEEPING OUR
