Fascinating so many news and entertainment outlets had the same claims at nearly to the minute of Melania.
They even coincided on reports of Don Jr, yet the author admits he helped write the speech.
Rudy’s Speech
What stands out to you, that you could put on a bumper sticker and get agreement on both sides?
Before I post Rudy’s speech, what about Marcus Luttrell speech stands out to you that you can repeat over and over and over and no one could agree or maybe disagree?
There is the common ground argument and little yeses lead to agreements.
Transcript of Rudy’s speech:
The title should be how he opened the theme of his speech “ how to make America safe”
Thank you. Thank you, New York! For a New Yorker for once on the ticket – Donald Trump.
I’m here to speak to you about a very serious subject – how to make America safe.
The vast majority of Americans today do not feel safe. They fear for their children. They fear for themselves. They fear for our police officers, who are being targeted, with a target on their back.
We pray for our police officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge and their families. And we say thank you to the Cleveland Police Department for protecting us. Thank you!
We – we know – we know the risk you are taking, and we say thank you to every police officer and law enforcement agent who is out tonight protecting us – black, white, Latino, of every race, every color, every creed, every sexual orientation.
When they come to save your life, they don’t ask, if you are black or white. They just come to save you!
We also – we also reach out. We reach out our arms with understanding and compassion to those who have lost loved ones because of police shootings – some justified, some unjustified.
Those that are unjustified must be punished. Those that are justified, we must apologize to.
It’s time to make America safe again. It’s time to make America one again. One America!
What happened – what happened to – what happened to, there’s no black America, there’s no white America, there is just America?! What happened to it? Where did it go? How did it float away?
I know – I know we can change it because I did it by changing New York City from the crime capital of America to the safest large city in the United States.
What I did for New York, Donald Trump will do for America.
I have known Donald Trump for almost 30 years. And he has created and accomplished great things in my city and all over the world.
But beyond that, this is a man with a big heart. Every time New York suffered a tragedy, Donald Trump was there to help.
He’s not going to like my telling you this, but he did it anonymously. When police officers were shot, when firefighters were hurt, when people were in trouble, he came forward and he helped and he asked not to be mentioned.
Well, I am going to break my promise to him. I am going to mention it, this is a man with a big heart who loves people. All people. From the top, to the bottom, from the middle to the side.
I am telling you this because I am sick and tired of the defamation of Donald Trump by the media and by the Clinton campaign. I am sick and tired of it! This is a good man.
And America should be sick and tired of their vicious, nasty campaign.
You deserve to know this about your next president. He’s been great a great father, father-in-law, grandfather, and friend to me, my wife Judith, and my family for now almost 30 years.
I know him personally, and this is a very good and decent man. And he will be a great president!
In the last seven months, there have been five major Islamic terrorist attacks on us and our allies. We must not be afraid to define our enemy. It is Islamic extremist terrorism!
I… I, for the purposes of the media, I did not say all of Islam. I did not say most of Islam. I said Islamic extremist terrorism. You know who you are! And we’re coming to get you!
Failing to identify them… failing to identify them promptly maligns all those good Muslims around the world who are being killed by them. They are killing more Muslims than anyone else.
It also sets up a fear of being politically incorrect that can have serious consequences. It did in San Bernardino. It did with Major Nidal. He was yelling “Allah Akbar”.
The only person who couldn’t figure out this was an Islamist terrorist extremist attack was Barack Obama, who called it workplace violence! This is why our enemies see us as weak and vulnerable.
Donald Trump has said the first step in defeating our enemies is to identify them properly and see the connections between them so we can find them and catch them.
To defeat Islamic extremist terrorists, we must put them on defense.
If they are at war against us, which they have declared, we must commit ourselves to unconditional victory against them!
This includes undoing one of the worst deals America ever made – Obama’s nuclear agreement with Iran that will eventually let them become a nuclear power and is putting billions of dollars back into a country that’s the world’s largest supporter of terrorism. We are actually giving them the money to fund the terrorists who are killing us and our allies! We are giving them the money. Are we crazy?
Donald Trump will make sure that any agreement with Iran meets the original goals of the UN and our allies – a non-nuclear Iran.
Donald Trump is a leader. He will reassert America’s position as the nation with the best values to lead the world.
It was Hillary Clinton who advocated for the overthrow of Gaddafi in Libya. Now Libya is in chaos. Hillary Clinton is accountable for this and much more.
Her dereliction of duty and failure to keep her people safe played a major role, as you heard tonight, in the horrific Islamic terrorists murders on Sept. 11 and 12, 2012 in Benghazi which claimed the lives of four brave Americans: Ambassador J. Christopher Stephens, U.S. Foreign Service Officer Sean Smith, and CIA Agents Tyrone S. Wood and Glen Doherty. May they rest in peace.
And Clinton and the Obama administration for political reasons lied about the purpose of the attacks, including Hillary Clinton lying directly to the families of the people who were killed right to their face.
Hillary Clinton’s answer to Congress about the deaths of these four brave Americans because of her gross failures as Secretary of State was, “What difference at this point does it make?”
What difference does it make? Watch the video yourselves and see the arrogant disregard for American lives lost unnecessarily because of her and then make up your own mind.
Anyone who… It means were getting to them. It means we’re getting to them. It means we’re getting to them.
Anyone who can say that it makes no difference how or why people serving America are killed, should not be entrusted with the awesome responsibility to protect them and us and should not be allowed to be our commander-in-chief.
Who would trust Hillary Clinton to protect them? I wouldn’t. Would you?
Donald Trump will change all of that and more. In short, he will lead by leading, not by following.
You know Donald Trump will secure our borders. His opponent has had her chance to do this and she has failed. Hillary Clinton is for open borders. She is in favor of even taken Syrian refugees even though the Islamic State has told us they’re going to put their operatives in with the Syrian refugees. Operatives who are terrorists who are going to come to Western Europe and come here and kill us. They’ve told us that and she’s still wants to take in these Syrians.
We can’t afford to repeat the mistakes of the past.
Hillary Clinton’s experience is the basis for her campaign. Hillary Clinton’s experience is exactly the reason she should not be president of the United States.
There’s no next election. This is it. There’s no more time for us left to revive our great country. No more time to repeat our mistakes of the Clinton-Obama years.
Washington needs a complete turnaround and Donald Trump is the agent of change and he will be leader of the change we need.
He will make America once again, like the president I worked for, Ronald Reagan, the shining city on the hill.
Vote for Donald Trump for a safer America and for an America headed in a different direction – greatness.
God bless our next president Donald Trump and God bless the United States of America.
Show Melania speaks 3-5 languages?
What did she say? why are you excited? and why is it important?
Is it something generally anyone could agree with?
I still have yet to see anyone write in glowing terms what was important to them about the speeches, who spoke them and so forth
Why was my post removed in this thread regarding Jarrett Hill? The media picks up on this after this laid off journalist Jarrett Hill comes out and says he remembers some obscure line from 2008. I documented how all this played out previously on FR. I updated in after looking at his Twitter updates and taking time to personally transcribe part of his interview on MSNBC where I questioned his explanation. I don’t see where I did anything wrong.
After reading through this full thread, nevermind. I see why it was deleted.
I still stand by the fact there is something odd that guy was able to expose that speech that quickly by remember Michelle spoke an obscure line in 2008.
Gravitas...awk! Gravitas...awk!
Right on cue!z
The entire process of putting a candidates wife out there to give a speech is ridiculous, imho. I could have lived without Melania and certainly without Mooch spouting a bunch of half true platitudes.
The democrats have long plagiarized ideas form the communists and socialists. For decades they have trotted out these failed notions as if they were original and inspired rather than ineffectual and useless. I guess they are just, “recycling” instead of appropriating.
Hillary Clinton inexplicably had dozens of above Top Secret Compartmentalized Special Access Program documents re typed word for word ( ie plagerism) but with the Top Secret markings illegally stripped off found on her rouge e mail server
Not sure Hillary should be making a big deal about copying text word for word because it leads to some really bad places where she does not want to go - Hillary's own illegal misappropriation and plagiarism of Above Top Secret classified national security secret information on her home brew bathroom server
Interesting how the the few sentences in Melania's speech draw attention to areas where Michelle Obama lied her fat butt off in her 2008 speech
History has shown that Michelle Obama hates America, as does her husband
History has shown that Michelle Obama’s word is not her bond, nor is her husbands
Hidtory has shown that Michelle Obama does not raise her own children, Michelle's mother, living in the White House at our expense ( and even more at the expense of the long suffering White House Staff) , has been paid a reported 170,000 dollars a year for the last 8 years be care giver to Michelle obamas two daughters. The Grandma business pays well for the Obamas
History has shown that Michelle Obama does not feel that America is a land where every child can realize their dreams if they work hard to reach for those dreams. She has publicly stated that she feels America is an unfair country that intentionally denies opportunity to children
In pretty much every parallel sentence in Malania and Michelle's speeches history over the last 8 years shows Michelle Obama lied and misrepresented her true character and beliefs in her 2008 speech, just like her husband, the President, has lied and misrepresented his true character and beliefs
instead of "hey maybe I can vote for trump--they had some good speeches last night"...
we got the reprehensible slimeball Stephen Colbert and moosechelle's rehashed speech to distract them.
Those are two cases of someone along the way failing Trump. No one should have let Colbert near the stage. And some one let a speechwriting saboteur get the best of them.
if your reply wasn't an answer to my original question, can you please answer my question... What would be so brilliant about getting caught ripping off the wookie's speech? What is the masterstroke, as the bush bots used to say back 10 plus years ago, when ever duh-bya screwed up.
Skip Melania.
Of course you know who you are voting for
What about those we could influence?
Pick some other speaker whose message excited you and you could repeat common ground phrases.
The point is we should be influencing them, instead of them influencing us or throwing us off message.
My thought exactly. They did not just quit and disappear when outted a few years ago. To much opportunity and need for them to coordinate their propaganda. Too obvious when everyone picks up the same theme time-after-time. Unethical collusion, but probably not illegal. Just a vast left-wing-conspiracy that we can marvel at but likely never stop. I don't think it is helping them at the moment. Trump's real supporters are solid and unwavering. I don't think the same can be said of Clinton.
Besdies the lefist MSM traitors, NO ONE gives a #### about this story already. Or ever did.
What’s an independent gonna say?
“I was gonna vote to save the country but his wife stole lines from a speech so now I’ll have to vote for the criminal”
absurd
Your second post plagiarized your first one.
Which was what exactly? Have no clue as to what you are talking about.
Day 2 of this stupid story.
What’s wrong with conservatives? They take the bait each and every time.
The only reason the left is going after her is because she would be the most gorgeous, gracious woman to enter the WH since about 1961.
I notice that freeper men don’t even seem to GET how beautiful and charismatic she is. I guess ‘cause Hollywood’s uglies and radical feminism have so watered down men’s responses to feminine beauty that they don’t even notice it anymore!
The left gets that she makes Hillary look like a hog-slopper - that’s why they’re out to destroy her. They get it better than conservative panty-waists and hysterics!
I get it, but I choose not to quote Laz. Out loud. :)
Adapting two lines of a trite, cliche ridden speech that was plenty adapted from prio cliche-ridden speeches is so much more important than lying with every sentence to the American people; is so much more important than committing thousands of violations of the espionage act, and is so very much more important than setting fire to everything you touch, leaving a trail of dead bodies behind.
In addition to Melania, there were a number of great speeches given by people like Shreiff Clarke, Rudy Guiliani, and others. The mainstream media knew this, and knew they had to do something to divert attention away from the powerful messages delivered that night, hence the attack on Melania.
Waste of time worrying about the education level (good or not-so-good) of any first lady. If it were me? It would be nice to see a hot trophy wife as a FLOTUS and not some activist hag bent on stealing our chil’ren’s school lunches. As for the current choices for potential “first ladies”? Definitely the trophy wife over the serial sex-predator.
