00:00But, I just think, when I consider how good this country has been to me, I just think

00:09about how much I owe to it.

00:12That gratitude should come with a sense of responsibility.

00:15And when I think about Kamala Harris, who I guess is our vice presidential candidate

00:19officially, but I guess she's going to run for president now because Joe Biden dropped

00:23out of the race, I'm going to take bets here, I'm going to start a betting pool just in

00:37this auditorium.

00:39But I wonder, when I see her give a speech, and she talks about the history of this country,

00:47not with appreciation, but with condemnation.

00:51Of course, every country, just like every family, certainly mine, has its pockmarks.

00:57Not everything is perfect, it's never going to be.

00:59But you, if you want to lead this country, you should feel grateful for it.

01:03You should feel a sense of gratitude.

01:05And I never hear that gratitude come through when I listen to Kamala Harris.

01:18And that's what we've got to do.

01:21Fundamentally, you're going to agree, hopefully, since you're here, you're going to agree hopefully

01:25with most of what President Trump and I want to do.

01:28We want to...

01:33We're going to drill baby drill, we're going to shut down that border, we're going to put

01:36America's citizens first, because that's what America's citizens are going to elect us to

01:41do.

01:42That's common sense.

01:54But thank you, sir.

01:55But even when, even when you disagree with us, nobody's ever perfect.

02:01No politician is perfect, certainly not me.

02:03But you deserve to be led by people who are grateful, who are grateful for the community

02:09they came from, who are grateful for this country and its boundless opportunities, who

02:13are grateful for the service of our veterans and the people who put their lives on the

02:17lines from police and firemen on down.

02:30I believe that you deserve to be led by people who are grateful.

02:33And I know that President Trump is grateful for this country, and I know that I am, and

02:37I know we're never going to stop fighting to give you the same opportunities that we

02:41got.

02:42That's what this whole thing is all about.
