the democrat party is actually working
against religion against freedom and and
shutting down churches i see the holy
spirit the evidence of the Holy Spirit
working in the in the president when he
takes the kind of actions who does we
want justice for George Floyd and his
family everybody agrees on that
but this utter destruction and violence
is not the way to do that and president
Trump brought this back again to the
country with Joe Biden
he hasn't even condemned Antipa just
think about that for one minute
he hasn't condemned the rioters you
ain't black you have a problem figuring
out whether you're from mere Trump and
you ain't black no I am black HBCUs and
the things that the president has done
to invest and to support the black
community that's how we throw out of
this key finding the police is inside
the police or what protect us all from
we will
wait again
welcome
I understand the pain that people are
feeling the death of George Floyd on the
streets of Minneapolis was a grave
tragedy it should never have happened it
has failed Americans all over the
country with horror anger and grief we
support the right of peaceful protesters
and we hear their pleas the voices of
law-abiding citizens must be heard and
heard very loudly we will stand with the
family of George Florida with the
peaceful protesters and with every
law-abiding citizen who wants decency
civility safety and security
but what we are now seeing on the
streets of our cities has nothing to do
with justice or with miss the memory of
George Floyd is being dishonored by
rioters looters and anarchists the
violence and vandalism
is being led by an tyfa and other
radical left-wing groups who are
terrorizing the innocent destroying jobs
but no reason it the mobs are
devastating the life's work of good
people and destroying their dreams
soars it harms those who have the least
we cannot and must not allow a small
group of criminals and vandals to wreck
our cities and lay waste to our
communities we must defend the rights of
every citizen to live without violence
prejudice or fear healing not hatred
justice not chaos are the mission at
hand
I stand before you as a friend and Ally
to every American seeking justice and
peace no one is more upset than fellow
law enforcement officers by the small
handful who failed to abide by their
oath to serve and protect
we support the overwhelming majority of
police officers who are incredible in
every way and devoted public servants we
must all work together as a society to
expand opportunity and to create a
future of greater dignity and promise
for all of our people every citizen in
every community has the right to be safe
in their workplace safe in their homes
and safe in our city streets we are
working toward a more just society
but that means building up not tearing
down joining hands not hurling fists
standing in solidarity not surrendering
to hostility this is the sacred right of
all Americans that I am totally
determined to defend and will defend
[Music]
good evening everyone welcome to Team
Trump online I'm Mercedes schlopp senior
advisor for strategic communications to
president Trump's re-election campaign
be sure to like and share this broadcast
with your friends joining me for
tonight's show
is a top member of the House Republicans
leadership team Republican whip Steve
Scalise from the great state of
Louisiana congressman how are you doing
tonight
I'm doing great Mercedes it's great to
be with you and all of team Trump out
there yeah we were just talking about
our homeschooling experiences so the
kids just finished school that was quite
a task as we've gone through this
coronavirus pandemic
yeah families have pulled together and
have had to do some real challenging
things I mean obviously with the economy
shut down you know you've got a lot of
turmoil out there but in the midst of
all this parents are having to
homeschool their kids as well so we we
had some real interesting times with
that I I relearned all of those math
formulas like you know area of a circle
equals pi r-squared it still works and
uh you know we we had a good time with
the kids though and the kids were good
about it too yeah but I gotta say I
think these kids are ready to go back to
school I don't know about you they are
open schools again in the fall no
kidding I think the parents definitely
want the school's back open that's
that's for sure but let's get started I
know it's been such busy weeks that
we're seeing obviously this past week
we've seen a split-screen unfolding
across America on the one hand we're
seeing thousands of peaceful protesters
on the streets on the other hand we're
seeing violent looters rioters and
antifa hijacked the noble cause of
justice for George Floyd
we've even seen Joe Biden who has not
condemned these violent riders some of
them who have attacked even our own
police officers President Trump will not
allow the cries of peaceful protestors
to be drowned out by an angry mob I was
with them
tweek he said congressman that he is the
president of law and order I'm sure he
shared that with you as well yes he has
and you know and he's made it clear to
the country we all mourn the loss of
George Floyd and would happen in
Minneapolis justice needs to be served
and nobody in law enforcement has the
right to abuse their position of power
and there needs to be accountability but
at the same time you also can't have
violent outbursts where people are
literally just going out and looting and
rioting and you know burning down cities
I can't it can't happen and I'm glad
President Trump has been very clear that
he's going to stand up for law and order
and and when you look at you know for
example that the death of that retired a
police captain David Dorn that should
not have happened that murder was was
cold-blooded and I think all of us were
outraged when we saw that as well but
it's a shame that you don't see more
people on the left from Joe Biden and
Nancy Pelosi standing up against the
violence and the and the rioting and the
looting that's not what we should be
about we should be about protesting and
demanding justice that is absolutely
right I think we can all say we stand
with the peaceful protesters as they you
know exercise their First Amendment
rights but going down this path of
violent rioting and destruction of our
cities I mean we also saw the attempt to
burn down the historic st. John's Church
by the White House let's watch this clip
unfortunately I can add just a moment
ago it does appear that st. John's
Church is on fire that we saw graffiti
once the door was broken we saw
something similar happen earlier and as
you can see there's definitely a fire
here and Kevin so people know that is an
historic church that's just across
Lafayette Park from the White House
numerous presents dozens of presidents
have sat in those pews they have gone
there in times of national trouble
they've gone there for regular Sunday
services for generations and generations
presidents and their families have
walked across Lafayette Park and gone
and sat in the pews of Saint John's and
President Trump went went to go see st.
John and what had happened there stand
there for a moment you know it's very
and of course the media mocked him the
Democrats went after him Nancy Pelosi
then decided to read a passage from the
Bible but let me get your reaction to
the clip and the destruction that we're
seeing in our communities Mercedes you
know my heart dropped when I heard the
initial reports that st. John's Church
was burning and and initially they
didn't know just how bad it was and you
just think about the history of that
church and what it represents to our
country to think that that was burning
down and you know you in this country
they're threatening some people to be
arrested if you go to church and yet
they're allowing a church to be burned
down right there in Washington DC it was
a it was heartbreaking you know thank
God and I'm sure there were miracles
that happened to save the church but it
just went and I think open people's eyes
up to the fact that wait a minute we you
know we're all in unison that George
Floyd should not have been murdered that
day and the Minneapolis police have real
issues they've got to deal with there
but at the same time to burn a church
down in to burn cities down is not the
answer
yeah and I think we want to find
constructive solutions obviously and
what we're seeing instead from the left
is that their solution congressman is
defunding our police this includes some
of the members from the House of
Representative also calling for
defunding our police
congresswoman Elan Omar and
congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortes
congressman you've seen multiple
examples of cities saying they're going
to defund our police why is this such a
dangerous move Mercedes this is
incredibly dangerous because you're
seeing the socialist left really take
over the Democrat Party and coming up
with things like this and look I
wouldn't be alive today if it wasn't for
the heroic actions of police officers
the Capitol Police not only saved my
life but so many others that day three
years ago on the baseball field
and and you know they don't talk about
those stories I mean if if a cop does
the wrong thing and and in the case of
George Floyd clearly justice needs to be
served there and everybody is in
agreement on that but the idea that if
you're in a community
where you live if you call nine-one-one
there's going to be nobody to answer
that call I think there would be a
chilling thought to to most people in
this country yeah there's no question I
mean you're talking about unsafe streets
unsafe community and I would say chaos
and I think Joe Biden is promoting this
chaos and he has even barely mentioned
that you've had police for example in
New York City who have been violently
attacked by these rioters ending up in
the hospital yet you see these mayors
like Bill de Blasio saying we're going
to move away from funding the police
putting that money shifting that over to
social services or you also see the
veto-proof majority in in Minnesota
Minneapolis their City Council also
saying we need to dismantle the police
it's dangerous dangerous moves by these
Democrat far-left representatives that
we're seeing across the board but
congressman what does it say about Joe
Biden and the Democrats who are
embracing the defund the police movement
which will lead to unsafe communities
Mercedes this is one of those telling
times and you know when you're in the
midst of a campaign obviously you're
going to have issues go back and forth
and the president takes positions but
the Democrat nominee Joe Biden has to be
clear about where he is on this he's
trying to play both sides of it Mercedes
and you can't look Donald Trump has been
very clear he supports the ability of
law enforcement to protect communities
and hold people accountable if they
cross that line Joe Biden is
mysteriously silent I guess he's stuck
in his basement right now because
they're afraid to let him out and answer
this tough question frankly it's not a
tough question it's a very
straightforward question are you for or
against defunding police in this country
and Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi are
literally dodging this question right
now and and when you want to run for
president at states you can't hide from
the tough issues so Joe Biden's gonna
have to be very vocal and it has to
happen soon he can't he can't let this
go on for days and days
well you mentioned about that faith
fateful day in June 2017 when you nearly
lost your life at the Republican
baseball
practice I have to tell you we were all
just so sad to hear that you had been
shot you know we were all praying for
your quick recovery and it was really
the US Capitol Police including your
special agent crystal Greiner and Cori
Bailey that saved your life I mean it
just shows how important American law
enforcement is in keeping our country
safe share with our viewers you know
that it was a dreadful day just what you
went through how those special agents
those police officers saved your life
and why it's so critical to give our
police officers the the backing they
need to do their jobs in Mercedes this
was one of those days you never hold
hope or think what happened crazed
gunman shows up on a ball field of you
know we're just getting ready to play
for a charity baseball game and he
starts shooting at Republicans because
they wanted to kill all of us and if it
wasn't for that heroic action as you
mentioned you know David Bailey and
crystal Greiner were there that day if
they weren't there all of us would have
been killed because he he went there
with the element of surprise and a lot
of ammunition and capabilities but they
were well-trained they did their job
exactly as they were trained to do and
ultimately both of them were shot during
the shootout and and kept going at it to
protect all of us and took the shooter
down and you know law enforcement does
that every day unheralded they don't do
it for notoriety they do it because it's
a calling to protect and serve people in
our communities and again if anybody
abuses their position of power they need
to be held accountable nobody's
disputing that but you've also got to
recognize the heroic action that's taken
every day that goes to often unnoticed
and and clearly on that day I saw it
firsthand I wouldn't be here and a lot
of other members of Congress wouldn't be
here on this planet today if not for
that that heroic action of those Capitol
police officers David in Crystal and to
your point I think the key is you do
have those officers we know they have
those infractions they should not be on
the front line in any way and should not
be out in the communities those people
the bad cops no room for them there's no
tolerance for that but we can't just
because you have this one bad person
literally try to destroy our law
enforcement I mean that is just a
horrible direction to go in because
there is the you know the police
officers who are there to save people's
lives to keep community safe to ensure
that we're decreasing violent crimes in
our communities they play a critical
role in our communities how does it work
in Louisiana with the police departments
well if you if you look for example at
the New Orleans Police Department and
you know we've got Mardi Gras every year
so you've got about a million people
that congregate and come into New
Orleans to celebrate Mardi Gras and and
it's always so very peaceful because you
know imagine being a law enforcement
officer with that many people and you
know some people are imbibing and you
know enjoying the moment
and yet they're able to keep the calm
and the peace and keep people safe and
this is families that come from all
around the world they want to come and
have a good time and they want to feel
safe and and that's able to happen and
again if you've got a law enforcement
officer that crosses the line they ought
to be held accountable but when you
watch how they're able to keep that many
people safe in a peaceful environment it
shows you how it can be done the right
way yeah we we definitely don't want to
go down this route of demoralizing law
enforcement during this time let's take
a quick break but we'll be right back

online I'm Mercedes sloth and I'm joined
by Congressman Steve Scalise one of our
great American patriots thank you Steve
for being with us great to be with you
Mercedes so obviously there was a really
big story last week but you know the
media didn't cover too much of it the
great American comeback story it is well
underway after the economy was
artificially interrupted by the global
pandemic to the surprise of many
including the media the economy added
back 2.5 million jobs in May the largest
one-month job gain in US history I want
to play this clip about the historic
jobs report
it is a stunner this is a stunner it is
optimistic the jobs number from a two
point five million jobs added had to
double check those numbers because that
was absolutely not what we were
expecting it appears to be a stunner
much better than expected I could say it
all pretty much in three words
do you have any idea what they are jobs
jobs jobs May jobs report is out and it
is far better than analysts had
predicted I'm so stunned I mean I've
never seen anything like this this does
show that the US economy is perhaps a
lot more resilient than we anticipated
it's such great news for the American
people and the fact is is that we're bad
today is probably if you think of it the
greatest comeback in American history
but you it's not gonna stop here it's
going to keep going it's gonna keep
going jobs jobs dogs it's a stunner
what's the word that you want to
describe about the latest jobs report
congressman look president Trump brought
this economy back after it was on its
heels for eight years he did it once
he's doing it again people want to get
back to work people want to get back to
the things that they enjoy doing look we
know covent is out there and then look I
see the medical research being done at a
tremendous pace by the way President
Trump is the one who moved agencies like
the FDA to expedite the tests that we're
seeing come online new testing
capabilities as well as the search for a
cure and a vaccine this is all because
President Trump has put the whole focus
of the government on doing this but he
also knows that we've got to get our
economy back going again and we can get
it back safely the states that have
moved aggressively are not seeing an
uptick in their hospitals in fact
they're seeing people getting around
again and want to get their hair cut and
going their restaurants again that they
enjoyed going to people or getting
around seeing each other at a social
distance but jobs are coming back it's
what it's what this president did once
he's doing it again and we're going to
continue to see a great economic
recovery faster than other countries in
the world because every country around
the world has dealt with this in
different ways but America I think can
lead the way on the comeback led by
President Trump well congressman the
media was completely shocked by these
job numbers we also saw Joe Biden and
he pretty much had to change his speech
on Friday I think they were thinking the
numbers were gonna be pretty bad so tell
me why and how did President Trump and
the Republicans bold leadership begin to
bring our kind of economy roaring back
you know when Democrats were talking
about mailing ballots to illegal
illegally registered people the
president was talking about holding on
to small businesses and keeping families
going through this and when finally we
passed a relief package that was focused
on families and businesses the Paycheck
protection program
may be one of the most successful
programs that Congress put together
during a crisis that's been effective at
saving millions of small businesses
around the country in fact last week
President Trump signed into law another
revision to make that program work even
better for small businesses and that's
why they're able to stay afloat and then
keep and start bringing people back to
work
that's why you're seeing these job
numbers increase because businesses were
able to stay together because of
president Trump's leadership at a time
when a lot of people were on their heels
and wondering if they were going to be
able to make it back so president
Trump's focus from day one was on making
sure to protect the health and safety of
families holding small businesses
together and you saw the Democrats all
the Pelosi and AOC and the far left and
Biden we're trying to do is bail out the
failed states that we're failing before
koban and give ballots in health care to
illegals
I think it's a big big stark contrast
and adding energy credits and all the
green New Deal stuff that we know
handles on airplanes when the airline
industry is about to go under they're
talking about carbon emissions on
airplanes I mean what planet are they
coming from and you know who are they
who are they trying to fool with this
kind of radical left eye agenda so
frankly I think the president's
leadership has put us in this position
where we're starting this great comeback
there's even more to come as the
president says the best is yet to come
Mercedes well the planet the Democrats
are coming from his planet clueless that
would be my take on it so Joe Biden's
40-plus years in office they've shown us
that his policies would be a disaster
for the American economy
now he's embracing extreme socialist
policies like we were talking about the
green New Deal
congressman how would a Joe Biden
presidency devastate the economy
especially at a time that we are
recovering from the corona virus
pandemic oh my gosh let's uh let's all
keep that vision in our mind as we
recognize just what's at stake this
November and why we need to stay focused
on doing everything we can to to reelect
president Trump and take the house back
and keep the Senate because Joe Biden
you know who knows what he really stands
for these days he's taken just about
every position on every issue but what
he's doing lately is embraced this
socialist left positions the far left
radical ideas of you know he was one of
those ones that raised their hand when
they said should people that are here
illegally get free health care and there
was Joe Biden raising his hand I mean
you know what he's gonna stand for it's
going to be about crushing our small
businesses that are just starting to
come back with mountains of taxes
mountains of regulations this is this is
a real contrast election you know let
alone who you would put on the Supreme
Court in the federal benches when
President Trump has put great
constitutionalists people had actually
believed in the Constitution as it was
written versus people that want to just
make up their own view based on what
their their vision is today of the
radical left so I think there's a clear
choice people have you know if they let
Joe Biden out of his bunker for more
than a couple of minutes at a time you'd
see even more about how dangerous his
radical positions and become yeah
there's no question these historic
economic results make it clear we need
to continue reopening up our country
safely and get Americans back to work
that's what President Trump is working
on every day which is this transition to
greatness Republican Run states that
have been opened for a month are reaping
the benefits but what we're seeing with
the Democrat governors across the
country is that they're still
slow-walking
reopening these states including putting
restrictions on churches as we know we
know President Trump for example said
for the churches that these would be
essential services essential businesses
congressman wire Democrat governor's so
unwilling to let people go back to work
are they playing politics
well you
I think it's an important question
that's been raised and especially when
you look at the data this is all about
the health and safety of families go
look at the states that aggressively
opened over a month ago and by the way
the mainstream media was out there
saying oh there's gonna be death in the
streets and they're gonna have a spike
they didn't have the spike in fact their
health care numbers and their hospital
numbers are the same as the states who
have stayed closed which tells you you
can safely reopen your economy the
roadmaps there you don't have to wonder
about it and by the way and you brought
this up the attacks on religious freedom
from some of those very same governors
that's been going on since before
President Trump took office Donald Trump
said he would restore religious freedom
again one of the many promises that was
made that a promise is kept by Donald
Trump is to fight and stand up for
religious freedom and the sanctity of
life when you've got some of these same
governors including in in New York
saying that if a baby is born alive
outside the womb Mercedes they say you
can kill the baby and call that abortion
it's murder and President Trump has made
it clear it's murder he wants a bill on
his desk that would protect those unborn
babies that are finally born alive we
have a bill that Pelosi won't even bring
to the floor so President Trump has been
very clear and standing up for life
standing up for religious freedom and
it's been at stake for a long time now
what if you can remember although you
were probably quite young back then joe
biden flip-flopped on the hyde amendment
as we know we just there was you know
where he was on anything dealing with
abortion he's become more extreme
through the years and as a career
politician so it just showed that joe
biden is not where the american people
are on this issue of abortion especially
late term abortion which we know is so
horrific yeah and you don't even need to
ask him anymore who he would put on the
Supreme Court of course we all know the
kind of constitutionalist conservative
judges that President Trump has put on
the Supreme Court by the way exactly the
ones he put a list out remember this no
no presidents really done this before
where the Scalia seat was open and as a
candidate Donald Trump said this is a
list of people I would pick from and
then of course you know you got Cavett
okay Cavanaugh and our switch on the
bench now and who would who would Joe
Biden by the way put on the bench if
there was a vacancy nobody asks him that
I think we have an idea of who would be
though and it would be somebody from the
farthest radical left somebody that's
just going to make up the rules as they
go along not read the Constitution and
say this is how it's supposed to be yeah
four months Democrats and the media
shamed men and women who lost their jobs
and wanted the economy to reopen so they
could feed their families we've seen
this in a variety of states now they're
completely silent about protesters and
writers not social distancing so the
latest example of this absurdity is in
Contra Costa County California where
they are limiting outdoor social
gathering gatherings for up to 12 people
right now however they are permitting
protests up to a hundred people
congressman how hypocritical are the
Democrats and the media on this well you
know here they're treading on the very
constitutional rights that we have in
the First Amendment and so you know you
can't say this part of the First
Amendment applies but that part doesn't
religious freedom is front and center
and one of our ingrained rights that we
have is in as Americans and they can't
take that away if it's going to be
challenged I think they would lose that
challenge but yet it shows you just
where they're leanings are when the
first thing they want to do is go after
your right to exercise your role your
religious freedom and to go worship in
your place of worship but you you you
know you can have that right if you're
going to burn the city down it's just
not it's not who we are
we know we've got to restore what what
this is all about and I think president
Trump's been very clear that he stands
up for for that right of religious
freedom yeah and I know congressman you
know our faith is so important I mean in
helping to get us through this
coronavirus pandemic you see Americans
turning to their faith during this very
difficult time and it's been tough to
have the churches closed you know and I
think you see these individuals who also
want to get back to work as well that
they're saying okay we got to move on
get the country moving again you know so
I think those are all exactly where
President
mindset is which is let's get our
churches open let's get the economy
going again because we are going to get
our country back we've seen it America
is very resilient the spirit of the
merit of America is strong and we will
also work on restoring our communities
but before we let you go we have one
final break and we'll be right back with
more team trump online this is Brad
parts co-president Trump's campaign
manager without a doubt 2020 will be the
most important election of the history
of our great nation America has come too
far the last four years to give up now
and let the Democrats undo all of our
incredible progress don't listen to the
fake news media they said we had no
chance in 2016 and I've seen it again
now the future of our nation depends on
you the only way to ensure victory to
keep America great is to get out and
folks use the link below make sure that
you're registered to vote mass
incarceration has put hundreds of
thousands behind bars for minor offenses
Joe Biden wrote those laws come out of
this Congress has had the name Joe Biden
that bill we do everything but hang
people for jaywalking in this bill Joe
Biden's policies destroyed millions of
black lives Joe Biden may not remember
but we
[Music]
welcome back to Team Trump online I'm
joined with our great Congressman Steve
Scalise how are we doing congressman
we're doing great and and the
president's doing great too so it's
always good to to talk about what we're
dealing with here yeah there's no
question I mean we obviously also stay
focused on the fact that we've got this
election coming in November and I know
that we here at Team Trump are focused
every day and making our calls getting
our grassroots motivated there's huge
enthusiasm on the Republican side I mean
what are you sensing out there when
you're talking to Republicans in terms
of what they think could happen in this
election
Mercedes people are focused on what's at
stake in November and they see a front
and center it's no longer a debate
between moderates and conservatives or
even liberals and conservatives it's
truly about the freedom that we as
conservatives believe in versus
socialism and that's why the Democrat
Party in Washington has moved there are
a lot of Democrats across the country
that don't embrace that socialist view
and so the leadership that president
Trump has provided not only through this
crisis but through his whole presidency
where he took over when the economy was
in the tank for eight years he got the
economy back going here II instilled
confidence in America here e'en stilled
the the support of our allies around the
world standing up to the bullies like
China like North Korea like Iran and
like Russia when when the previous
administration refused to do it Joe
Biden by the way was part of that
administration where they let Russia try
to interfere with our elections
president Trump's been standing up to
him but to get through this crisis
Mercedes and I think this is going to
have a lot at stake in in terms of how
we go into November as this economy
starts to recovery and it's already
starting to happen and it's going to
only get better as businesses come back
as as people are able to get more and
more the economy back open and get back
to doing the things that they believe in
this idea that you should just cower and
hide in a basement and not confront this
challenge that's not who America is you
know just two days ago we recognized the
anniversary of d-day and
you think about what the greatest
generation did and the challenge of that
day they didn't hide in whimper from
that they went towards the danger and
they confronted the enemy we're going to
confront this hidden enemy as well and
we're gonna be successful because as
Americans we take on challenges we don't
run and hide from them and that's why
we're gonna come back and president
Trump has that philosophy and that
belief in America the greatness of
America and so you know some of these
people just want to sit back and maybe
you know let's not do anything until
there's a cure and a vaccine or do you
just say we're gonna go out there we're
smart as Americans we know how to get
back doing the things that we do and
we're not going to shut this economy
down we're gonna get back to what is
great about America we've got to keep
America great we need to keep Donald
Trump in office with vice president
Pence doing the great work that they've
been doing for so long yeah and as a
president has mentioned obviously we
want to reopen these this economy do it
in a safe and responsible way and you
know but at the same time what we're
also saying you were talking about this
is the stark contrast between President
Trump and Joe Biden's leadership we know
President Trump has risen to this moment
right now he is offering a unifying
message to bring our country together
and just think about this just months
ago we just saw that having to deal and
deal with this corona virus pandemic I
mean you've seen the president up close
and personal how focused has the
president been in helping us get through
this pandemic and now obviously dealing
what with what we're seeing in the
country Mercedes I've worked with the
president a lot through this and what I
see is a man focused on protecting the
health and safety of the American people
that was his primary goal as president
and he's focused on it right now you
seen bringing in the top health experts
he's bringing in people from all around
that can give the best guidance on how
to do this safely but he also knows that
if we're going to have the kind of the
kind of American dream that that's out
there the opportunity for people to
succeed you've got to open our economy
back up again yeah you can't just keep
this shut down and people want to get
back to their jobs they want to
have a job to get back to and we're
seeing by the way dire health
consequences by people staying at home
there's a lot of data out there that
shows that people are missing their
mammograms in their colonoscopies and
kids aren't getting immunized and it's
having devastating consequences on
family we need to get back going again
we need to get back to open up the
economy that's why president Trump's
leadership has been so vital because
he's been focused on how to safely do it
getting the best experts out there but
also having that vision to say we're
gonna confront this hidden enemy we're
going to succeed we're gonna be
successful at getting our country back
on track again
yeah and Joe Biden has no shame he has
sought to divide the country for
political gain he has consistently
attempted to sow discord during this
incredibly painful time for our nation
in a town hall last week
Biden openly showed how much he detest
millions of Americans let's watch this
clip there probably anywhere from 10 to
15 percent the people out there they're
just not very good people congressman
how does Joe Biden expect to be
President of the United States when he
basically disrespects 15 percent of
Americans would you say this is his
deplorable moment Wow Marcedes it's
eye-opening each time you see it you
just wonder who exactly is he talking
about and what America is he thinking
about I mean President Trump believes in
the greatness of people he signed the
Second Chance Act I mean he's the one
who's led the way to help give people
more opportunity and and to create so
many so many things that this country
wants and to fulfill that promise of
America and then you contrast it with
Joe Biden who's just trying to look for
areas of division even within his own
party so I think again people see
through this they don't want that kind
of division in these times of crisis
they want a leader who's going to look
forward and work towards helping people
get back to what is great about this
country and that's that's the leadership
that President Trump has continued to
provide and it's the kind of leadership
we need we also just saw Biden campaign
staffers who are actually bailing out
violent criminals they set up this fund
to with these bailouts and it
basically be so destructive I mean they
are wanting to bail out the violent
criminals who are would destroy you know
these homes and businesses I mean what
does it say about Joe Biden in his
campaign yeah wonder if the people that
are contributing to those funds are
proud of the fact that maybe some of
that money might have gone to bail out
the murderer of retired police captain
David Warren or when you saw that video
of that couple coming out trying to stop
their building from being destroyed and
burned down and looted and they were
beaten with clubs and ladders I mean you
know that's that's not who we are as
Americans that's not peaceful protest
that's going to advance the cause of
justice and so I think when people see
that it just reminds them we need to
maintain law and order especially in
difficult times yeah we also want to
work on healing our nation I mean the
president said it in his remarks it's
healing not hatred justice not chaos and
I think that is the contrast with what
you're seeing with President Trump and
his leadership versus Joe Biden
basically endorsing chaos and just to
close what final message would you like
to leave with the American people well
the message I would leave is that we're
resilient people we've been through
tough times
these are definitely part of those tough
times and we'll look back and say you
know what we confronted something that
nobody had ever seen before and yet we
stayed together through this in then we
had some difficult times that we worked
through even more challenges with George
Floyd and calling for justice there and
yet as America we're only gonna get
through this if we stay united and we
are and in President Trump is providing
the leadership that is going to get us
through this and get us back to that
place that that shining city on the hill
that we know we can be and we always
strive to be a greater nation than we
are and to leave a better nation to the
next generation and we're headed on that
track and we need to see president
Trump's leadership continue to get us
through this well thank you Congressman
