00:00Thank you, Senator Blackburn.

00:13It was such an honor to serve with you as the co-chair of the platform committee.

00:18This platform is historic because it was written with one group of people in mind, the forgotten

00:26men and women of America, you.

00:31That means something to me.

00:33Many of you know, and I'm proud to say, I'm the first Green Beret ever elected to Congress.

00:43And I'm also the son of a single mother raised on the wrong side of Jacksonville who worked

00:49three jobs just to get us by.

00:52Me and my family were the forgotten men and women of America.

00:57And now I stand as a testament to the American dream.

01:00And I tell you that under the leadership of the Republican Party, no American will be

01:05forgotten anymore.

01:08It's over.

01:11On the strong foundation of this platform and with President Trump and the Republicans

01:17at the helm, at every level of government, we will overcome every threat facing this

01:24nation.

01:25We will close our disastrously open border.

01:28We will defend our justice system.

01:31We will restore our economy.

01:33We will unleash American energy and flood the world with clean, cheap American oil and

01:40gas.

01:41Drill, baby, drill.

01:42We will.

01:48And most of all, we will strengthen our depleted military and make it strong again.

01:57Folks, this platform, the leadership of President Trump, we will destroy inflation.

02:05We're going to send a cruise missile right into the heart of it, and we will bring back

02:09the American dream.

02:11Only in America, only in America can someone like me stand up on a stage like this.

02:18The Republican Party believes in the potential of every American, which is why this platform

02:25was personally approved by President Donald J. Trump.

02:33So I hope you will join me to support this platform, that we will propel our party and

02:42America to victory this November and get Donald J. Trump back in the White House.

02:47I thank you.

02:50And please join me in welcoming back our awesome RNC Chairman, Mike Watley.
