THIS IS GOING ON.
DAVID: BRENT BOZELL, AS YOU MAY
BE ABLE TO SEE, DONALD TRUMP IS
JUST GETTING UP TO THE PODIUM
THERE IN CHARLOTTE, NORTH
CAROLINA.
WE THANK YOU VERY MUCH, BRENT
BOZELL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
GREAT RESEARCH. >> THANK YOU, DAVID.
DAVID: THAT IS DONALD TRUMP
SPEAKING IN CHARLOTTE, NORTH
CAROLINA.
HE WILL TALK ABOUT INNER CITIES,
HOW YOU REVIVE THEM.
TALKING ABOUT LAW AND ORDER AS
WELL.
>> GREAT TO BE HERE IN CHARLOTTE
TO DISCUSS AN ISSUE THAT MEANS
SO MUCH TO ME.
THAT'S THE ISSUE OF URBAN
RENEWAL, SOMETHING YOU DON'T
HEAR VERY MUCH ABOUT, AND
REBUILDING OF OUR INNER CITIES.
TODAY I WANT TO TALK ABOUT HOW
TO GROW THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN
MIDDLE CLASS AND TO PROVIDE A
NEW DEAL FOR BLACK AMERICA.
THAT DEAL IS GROUNDED IN THREE
PROMISES, SAFE COMMUNITIES,
GREAT EDUCATION, AND HIGH-PAYING
JOBS.
MY VISION RESTS ON A PRINCIPLE
THAT HAS DEFINED THIS CAMPAIGN
RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING YOU'VE
SEEN WHERE WE COME FROM AND
WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW.
IT IS CALLED AMERICA FIRST.
EVERY AFRICAN-AMERICAN CITIZEN
IN THIS COUNTRY IS ENTITLED TO A
GOVERNMENT THAT PUTS THEIR JOBS,
WAGES, AND SECURITY FIRST.
I AM ASKING TODAY FOR THE HONOR
OF YOUR VOTE, AND THE PRIVILEGE
TO REPRESENT YOU AS YOUR
PRESIDENT.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
AND I WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN.
YOU WATCH.
[CHEERING]
HERE IS THE PROMISE I MAKE TO
YOU.
WHETHER YOU VOTE FOR ME OR NOT,
I WILL BE YOUR GREATEST
CHAMPION.
WE LIVE IN A VERY DIVIDED
COUNTRY, BUT I WILL BE YOUR
GREATEST CHAMPION.
[CHEERING]
[APPLAUSE]
I HAVE NO SPECIAL INTERESTS.
I TAKE NO ORDERS FROM DONORS OR
LOBBYISTS.
PUT A LOT OF MONEY INTO THIS CAMPAIGN, BELIEVE ME.
I WILL BE IN FOR OVER
$100 MILLION.
THAT'S A LOT.
I WORK FOR YOU.
AND I WORK ONLY FOR YOU.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
OUR CAMPAIGN IS ABOUT CHANGE,
OPTIMISM, AND THE FUTURE.
I AM ASKING PEOPLE TO BREAK FROM
THE BITTER FAILURES OF THE PAST
AND TO IMAGINE THE AMAZING
POSSIBILITIES FOR OUR FUTURE AND
OUR FUTURE TOGETHER.
OUR OPPONENT REPRESENTS THE
RIGGED SYSTEM, AND THE FAILED
THINKING OF YESTERDAY.
HILLARY CLINTON'S CAMPAIGN
OFFERS ONLY THE DIE PRESSING
PESSIMISM -- DEPRESSING
PESSIMISM, SAYING THIS IS AS
GOOD AS IT GETS AND IT IS NEVER
GOING TO GET BETTER.
SHE HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR 30
YEARS AND FOR 30 YEARS IT HAS
ONLY GOTTEN BORES.
AMERICAN POLITICS IS CAUGHT IN A TIME LOOP.
WE KEEP ELECTING THE SAME PEOPLE
OVER AND OVER AND OVER.
[APPLAUSE]
AND THEY KEEP COMING BACK TO THE
AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY AND
THE HISPANIC COMMUNITY, AND THEY
KEEP TALKING ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE
GOING TO DO THEY DON'T DO IT.
AND FOUR YEARS LATER YOU SEE THEM AGAIN.
IT'S ENOUGH.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
THEY KEEP MAKING THE SAME
MISTAKES AND THEY KEEP OFFERING
THE SAME, OLD, LAME EXCUSES WHEN
NOTHING HAPPENS. YOU KNOW THAT.
I KNOW THAT.
FRANKLY EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT.
THE FACT THAT OUR CORE RESULT
WASHINGTON ESTABLISHMENT HAS
TRIED SO HARD TO STOP OUR
MOVEMENT, WE HAVE A MAJOR
MOVEMENT, THERE HAS NEVER BEEN
ANYTHING LIKE IT IN THIS COUNTRY.
[APPLAUSE]
AND THIS IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME
WHAT I'M SAYING TODAY.
I WANTED A SMALL GROUP OF VERY,
VERY POWERFUL, INFLUENTIAL
PEOPLE FROM THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN
COMMUNITY AND THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO DO.
ENOUGH WITH THE RALLIES OF 25 AND 30,000 PEOPLE.
THIS WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME.
[APPLAUSE]
AND I JUST MET WITH SOME OF THE
FINEST PEOPLE I HAVE EVER MET
BACKSTAGE.
WE HAD A GREAT MEETING AND I
JUST WANT TO THANK THOSE PEOPLE
RIGHT NOW.
THEY ARE PHENOMENAL PEOPLE.
SO I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU VERY
MUCH.
[APPLAUSE]
BUT IT IS JUST MORE PROOF THAT
WE REPRESENT THE KIND OF CHANGE
THAT ARRIVES ONLY ONCE IN A
LIFETIME.
THIS IS A MOVEMENT.
IT IS ONCE IN A LIFETIME.
NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN.
NEVER WILL HAVE ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY.
EVERY DAY I'M OUT ON THE TRAIL
PROPOSING FRESH LUTIONS AND
NEW THINKING, AND EVERY DAY THE
SAME PEOPLE GETTING RICH OFF OF
OUR BROKEN SYSTEM TELL US THAT
WE CAN'T CHANGE AND THAT WE
CAN'T TRY ANYTHING NEW BECAUSE
IT IS NOT GOOD FOR THEM.
I HAVE A MESSAGE MESSAGE FOR ALL
THE DOUBTERS IN WASHINGTON.
AMERICA'S FUTURE BELONGS TO THE
DREAMERS, NOT THE CYNICS AND NOT
THE CRITICS.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
AND IT IS TIME TO EXTEND
AND IT'S TIME TO EXTEND THAT
DREAM TO EVERY AFRICAN-AMERICAN
CITIZEN IN THIS COUNTRY.
AFRICAN-AMERICAN CITIZENS HAVE
SACRIFICED SO MUCH FOR OUR
NATION.
THEY FOUGHT AND DIED IN EVERY
WAR SINCE THE REVOLUTION, AND
FROM THE PEWS AND THE PICKET
LINES THEY LIFTED UP THE
CONSCIENCE OF OUR COUNTRY IN
THE LONG MARCH FOR CIVIL
RIGHTS.
YET TOO MANY --
[APPLAUSE] THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
YET TOO MANY AFRICAN-AMERICANS
HAVE BEEN LEFT BEHIND.
MASSIVE NUMBERS HAVE BEEN LEFT
BEHIND. 45% OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN
CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 6
LIVE IN POVERTY.
58% OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN YOUTH
ARE NOT CURRENTLY EMPLOYED.
AFRICAN-AMERICANS COMPRISE
ROUGHLY 13% OF THE POPULATION
YET MAKE UP 60% OF MURDER
VICTIMS UNDER THE AGE OF 22.
THAT'S SOME NUMBER, ISN'T IT?
SOME NUMBER.
IN 2015, VIOLENT CRIME IN
CHARLOTTE INCREASED BY 18%, AND
IT'S EXPECTED TO RISE TO 24%
THIS YEAR.
IN CHICAGO, NEARLY 3,500 PEOPLE
HAVE BEEN SHOT SINCE JANUARY
1st OF THIS YEAR.
IT'S NOT A VERY LONG TIME.
THINK OF IT, 3500 PEOPLE.
THE CONDITIONS IN OUR INNER
CITIES TODAY ARE TOTALLY
UNACCEPTABLE AND WE HAVE TO FIX
THEM.
[APPLAUSE] THE DEMOCRATS HAVE RUN OUR
INNER CITIES FOR 50, 60, 70
YEARS OR MORE, UNINTERRUPTED.
THEY'VE RUN THE SCHOOL BOARDS,
THE CITY COUNCILS, THE MAYOR'S
OFFICE, AND THE CONGRESSIONAL
SEATS. THEIR POLICIES HAVE FAILED, AND
THEY FAILED MISERABLY.
THEY'VE TRAPPED CHILDREN IN
FAILING GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS AND
OPPOSED SCHOOL CHOICE AT EVERY
SINGLE TURN. THE CLINTONS GAVE US NAFTA.
ONE OF THE WORST ECONOMIC DEALS
IN THE HISTORY OF ANY COUNTRY.
[APPLAUSE]
IT'S TAKEN OUR JOBS.
IT'S TAKEN OUR COMPANIES.
IT'S TAKEN EVERYTHING.
SO MUCH OUT OF OUR COUNTRY.
AND CHINA'S ENTRY INTO THE
WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION, TWO
DEALS THAT DEINDUSTRIALIZED
AMERICA, UPROOTED OUR INDUSTRY
AND STRIPPED DETROIT AND
BALTIMORE AND THE INNER CITIES
OF NORTH CAROLINA, WHERE WE ARE
REALLY FOCUSING, AND BY THE
WAY, YOU SEE THE NEW POLLS
COMING OUT, WHERE WE'RE REALLY
DOING WELL.
WHICH IS OKAY.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
THANK YOU. WE'RE GOING TO WIN NORTH
CAROLINA. I'LL TELL YOU.
WE'RE GOING TO WIN FLORIDA,
TOO. [APPLAUSE]
ACTUALLY, WE'RE GOING TO WIN
FLORIDA, TOO. WE'RE GOING TO WIN OHIO.
WE'RE GOING TO WIN IOWA.
WE'RE WINNING A LOT OF STATES.
A LITTLE WORRIED BACK THERE.
THE MEDIA IS SAYING WHAT'S
GOING ON OVER HERE.
YOU HAVE TO SEE IN FLORIDA,
THEY HAVE LINES FOUR BLOCKS
LONG TRYING GET INTO THE
POLLING BOOTHS.
THEY'VE NEVER SEEN THAT.
AND SAME THING IN MANY OTHER
STATES THAT HAVE STARTED.
THIS STATE HAS LOST NEARLY HALF
OF ITS MANUFACTURING JOBS SINCE
BILL AND HILLARY'S NAFTA.
THINK OF IT, HALF.
DECIMATING, BY THE WAY, AND
THEY HAVE BEEN DECIMATED,
DECIMATING THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN
COMMUNITY AND THE
AFRICAN-AMERICAN MIDDLE CLASS.
DECIMATED. THESE JOBS WENT TO MEXICO AND
OTHER PLACES.
POLITICIANS. DEMOCRATIC POLICIES HAVE ALSO
GIVEN RISE TO CRIPPLING CRIME
AND TOTAL VIOLENCE.
THEN THERE'S THE ISSUE OF
TAXATION AND REGULATION.
MASSIVE TAXES, MASSIVE
REGULATION OF SMALL BUSINESS
AND RADICAL RESTRICTIONS ON
AMERICAN ENERGY, HAVE DRIVEN
JOBS AND OPPORTUNITIES OUT OF
OUR INNER CITIES AND MANY CASES
OUT OF OUR COUNTRY.
HILLARY WANTS TO RAISE TAXES
VERY, VERY SUBSTANTIALLY ON
EVERYBODY AND ON BUSINESS, AND
ESPECIALLY ON SMALL BUSINESS AS
HIGH AS 45%, WHICH WILL ONL
DRIVE MORE JOBS OUT OF YOUR
COMMUNITY, OUT OF OUR COUNTRY
AND INTO OTHER COUNTRIES.
ONE OF THE GREATEST BETRAYALS
HAS BEEN THE ISSUE OF
IMMIGRATION.
ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION VIOLATES
THE CIVIL RIGHTS OF
AFRICAN-AMERICANS.
THAT'S WHAT'S BEEN
