00:00Please welcome Amber Rose from South Philadelphia.
00:07Hello, my name is Amber Rose. I'm a model and entrepreneur. Thank you. But most importantly, I'm a mother.
00:26My whole world revolves around providing for my children, keeping them safe, and giving them an opportunity for a better life.
00:33That's something that unites all American parents, whether we're Republicans, Democrats, conservatives, or liberals.
00:41We all want a better country for our children.
00:50But I'm here tonight to tell you, no matter your political background, that the best chance we have to give our babies a better life is to elect Donald Trump President of the United States.
01:11Now you may be wondering why I'm up here telling you this. I'm no politician and I don't want to be.
01:17But I do care about the truth. And the truth is that the media has lied to us about Donald Trump.
01:32I know this because for a long time I believed those lies. So I'm here to set the record straight.
01:38The first person I knew who supported Donald Trump was my father. I was shocked. My entire family is racially diverse.
01:47And I believed the left-wing propaganda that Donald Trump was a racist.
01:52My father said, no, he's not, Amber. What are you talking about?
01:57And when I insisted, he said, prove it.
02:00So to prove my father wrong, I did my research and looked into all things Donald Trump.
02:10People have to do their research. I watched all the rallies and I started meeting so many of you, his red hat wearing supporters.
02:27I realized Donald Trump and his supporters don't care if you're black, white, gay or straight. It's all love.
02:43And that's when it hit me. These are my people. This is where I belong.
02:58So I let go of my fear of judgment, of being misunderstood, of getting attacked by the left, and I put the red hat on, too. Thank you.
03:12Love you, too.
03:14I never felt more free and more love for my country than I do now.
03:18I want to thank my father who's in the audience tonight for opening my eyes.
03:22He served over 20 years in the U.S. military. Thank you for your service, Dad.
03:32I love you, Dad. I love you. I love you so much. Thank you.
03:40When I met the president and Melania for the first time, he was kind and generous and funny as hell.
03:48Very funny. The first lady was gracious and smart with a smile that will brighten up any room.
03:55If you're watching this tonight, you know our country is in trouble, just like me.
04:00When you go to the store and buy food for your family, you're shocked.
04:04When you fill up your gas tank, you're pissed. I know I am.
04:16And when you turn on the news, you are just exhausted.
04:20Inflation is out of control, and you know in your heart it was not like this under Donald Trump.
04:35My message to you tonight comes from a humble place.
04:38The left told me to hate Trump, and even worse, to hate the other side, the people who support him.
04:44When you cut through the lies, you realize the truth.
04:47American families were better when Donald Trump was president.
04:59We were safer, wealthier, and stronger.
05:02A vote for Donald Trump is a vote to put money back in our pockets and good food on our kids' plates.
05:15Or, as Trump would say, it's a vote to make America great again.
05:19Thank you so much.
