It's an honor to speak to you tonight from the hallowed grounds of Fort McHenry, the site of the very battle that inspired the words of our national anthem.

The heroes who held this for took their stand for life, Liberty, Freedom in the American flag.

And those ideals have defined our nation.

But they were hardly ever mentioned at last week's Democratic National Convention.

Instead, Democrats spent four days attacking America.

Joe Biden said that we were living through a season of darkness.

But as President, Trump said, where Joe Biden sees American darkness, we see American greatness.

In a city known for talkers, President Trump is a do ER and few presidents have brought Mawr, independence, energy or determination to that office.

This president signed the largest increase in our national defense since the days of Ronald Reagan and created the first new branch of our armed forces in 70 years, the United States Space Force.

In our first three years, we built the greatest economy in the world.

We made America great again, all right, and then the coronavirus struck from China before the first case of the coronavirus spread within the United States, the president took unprecedented action and suspended all travel from China, the second largest economy in the world.

Now that action saved untold American lives, and I'm proud to report that we're on track to have the world's first safe, effective coronavirus vaccine by the end of this year.

My fellow Americans were passing through a time of testing.

But in the midst of this global pandemic, just a czar nation had begun to recover.

We've seen violence and chaos in the streets of our major cities.

President Trump and I will always support the right of Americans to peaceful protest.

But rioting and looting is not peaceful protest.

Whether in Minneapolis, Portland or Kenosha too many heroes have died defending our freedom to see American strike each other down.

We will have law and order on the streets of this country for every American of every race and creed and color.

My fellow Americans, we're going through a time of testing.

But if you look through the fog of these challenging times, you will see our flag is still there today.

Thank you for the honor of addressing you tonight and the opportunity to run and serve again.

As your vice president, we will re elect our president and principled Republican leaders across the land and with President Donald Trump in the White House for four more years and with God's help, we will make America great again.
