00:00Let the rest of the world help us for change, and let's rebuild America first.

00:15Our highways and bridges are falling apart, who's blessed and who has been cursed?

00:21There's things to be done all over the world, but let's rebuild America first.

00:29Well, I have the distinct honor of getting to talk with you again, but for this time,

00:36to introduce the next President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.

00:42But, before I do, let me just say...

00:50Sorry.

00:56I had to screw with you a little bit, right?

01:11How do you introduce the guy?

01:15You know, pretty much everybody knows everything about him.

01:18They know he was a great President, and we want to make him President again.

01:21You know, what I thought I'd say is, you know, what are the qualifications you need to be a good President?

01:28Well, number one, you need to love this country, right?

01:32We've got a lot of leaders who don't love this country, but there are frankly, if we're being honest,

01:36a lot of people who love this country, you wouldn't want to make President just because they love the country.

01:41You need something else, and when I wrote my convention speech, and I wrote it mostly myself,

01:47I had some help from some friends, but, you know, I was looking at the history of President Trump's engagement with his country,

01:55and one of the things that jumped out at me is, if you think about the biggest mistakes we've made as a country,

02:01the things that have hurt my home state of Ohio, this state, Michigan, the most,

02:07you could have run through the list of things.

02:09I'd start with...

02:17Obviously, obviously Gretchen Whitmer's a problem. I'm talking about even further back than that.

02:24NAFTA, giving China the sweetheart trade deal and letting them into the World Trade Organization,

02:39the Iraq War in 2003, on every single one of those issues, Joe Biden was wrong and President Donald J. Trump was right.

02:55Even though, even though he was a real estate developer in New York, he knew instinctively what this country needed

03:03and how to put the interests of the citizens of this country first.

03:07Now, we had a hell of a four years with President Donald J. Trump, didn't we?

03:12In four years, he undid, I believe, 30 years of damage, of terrible leadership.

03:26Are we ready to give him four more years?

03:28Are we ready to hear from the next president of the United States, President Donald J. Trump?

03:34Come on out, sir.

03:43And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that fight to me.

03:49And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.

03:56Because there ain't no doubt I love this land.

04:01God bless the USA.
