PAUL RYAN
17:50:09
Mr. Ryan: Hey, everybody. Hey, Wisconsin. [ cheers and applause ] Hello, everyone. It is an honor to be here. Before we begin, I would like to remind the delegates of the provisions of the rules which require that each candidate for nomination for president of the United States demonstrates sufficient support prior to the presentation of the name of the candidate for nomination. The chair wishes to inform delegates at this time it has been furnished in a timely manner with evidence of sufficient support of the candidates who will be presented for president and vice president of the United States in compliance with the rules of the convention. [Applause]
17:51:04
Also, as prescribed under the rules, the total time for nominating speeches and seconding speeches for any candidate for president or vice president shall not exceed 15 minutes. It is also been custom at past conventions to prevent the chair to recognize non-delegates for the purpose of making nominating speeches and seconding speeches. Without objection, the reading of the roll call for states presenting the names for candidates for nomination is dispensed with and non-delegates will be permitted to make nominating and seconding speeches.
17:51:47
[ gavel ] The chair now recognizes the senator from Alabama, Jeff Sessions, for the purpose of nominating. Please give him a warm welcome.
JEFF SESSIONS
17:52:18
Sen. Sessions: Mr. Speaker, Americans love our country like no other people on Earth. [cheers and applause] But we have gotten course and the American people know it. Our political system is not working. We operate like the trench warfare battles of World War I, where hundreds of thousands die, but no ground is gained. Good Americans will stand for this no longer. They want the political games, the posturing and the show votes to end.
17:53:04
They want their country on the right track again. [ cheers and applause ] Median incomes have declined. Terrorist attacks are increasing. Respect for America has fallen. Crime is rising. And the president, he blames the police. The president does not lead. Congress is deadlocked. The political, corporate and media establishments, they say calm down. Don't overreact, don't be politically incorrect. Unstated is a threat. If you persist in your complaints, we will attack you. But, this time it's different.
17:53:57
One man, Donald Trump, was not intimidated. He would not be silenced. [people begin standing up on floor]. He spoke the truth. He gave voice to the people's concerns. He said that the (hide the?) trade deals have hurt America and her people. That our border must be secured.
17:54:30
That our nation, that our nation must be strong. That we must defeat the terrorists who threaten us. That we must restore law and order. And, support our courageous law enforcement officers.
[Applause] The Americans -- the American voters heard this message and they rewarded his courage and his leadership with a huge victory in our primaries. He dispatched one talented, fine candidate after another. Momentum continued to grow.
17:55:28
A movement started. Democrats and independents responded. He received far more primary votes than any Republican candidate in history. [Applause] Let me tell you about the Donald Trump I have come to know. He has a wonderful family which he loves intensely. In his personal relations, he's unfailing courteous and generous and he's positive by nature. He has tremendous energy and strength.
17:56:11
He is a warrior and a winner. He loves his country and he is determined to see it be a winner again. I, I have been proud of this party and its principles since I was a teenager. It is not given to us to know the future. I certainly don't. But I came to believe some months ago that Donald Trump is the singular leader that can get this country back on track. [Applause]
17:56:55
He, he has the strength, the courage and will to get it done. He and the American people share a common goal, and together, we will make America great again. [Applause]
>> [ chant ] Trump!
>> [ chant ] USA!
17:57:35
Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker, it is my distinct honor and great pleasure to nominate Donald J. Trump for the office of president of the United States of America. Thank you. And god bless.
PAUL RYAN
Mr. Ryan: Off to a good start. All right, the chair now recognizes the delegate and congressman from the state of New York, representative Chris Collins.
[Applause]
CHRIS COLLINS
17:58:51
Mr. Collins: Thank you, my fellow new yorkers. Speaker Ryan, thank you for your introduction. Thank you for your leadership and willingness to put forth policies that will truly make America great again. As the first member of congress to endorse Donald Trump, I also want to thank senator sessions who has stood with me from the beginning in support of Donald Trump.
[Applause] I proudly represent western new York.
17:59:40
Which has been devastated by unfair trade deals, allowing countries like China and Mexico to steal our jobs, robbing our children of the opportunity to live the American dream. The stakes in this election cannot be overstated. We will either make America great again or travel down the path of a third Obama term. [Boos] Under Barack Obama, we have been losing. The federal government tramples on our rights. Our allies can no longer depend on us. Our enemies defy us. Our country has no borders and China and Mexico continue to steal our jobs.
18:00:34
Enough is enough. [Applause]
>> [ chant ] Enough is enough!
It is time to take back our country, the great United States of America! [Applause] President Trump is going to build a wall and secure our borders. [Applause] President Trump is going to defeat terrorism and make our country safe again. [Applause] President Trump is going to bring back our stolen jobs. We in western New York know Donald Trump is not merely a candidate, Donald Trump is a movement. [Applause]
18:01:41
That is why, Mr. Speaker, I have the honor of seconding the nomination of Donald J. Trump as the next president of the united States of America. [Applause]
>> [ chant ] Trump!
You got it. Thank you all. Thank you all. Thank you.
PAUL RYAN
18:02:27
Mr. Ryan: The chair now recognizes the delegate from South Carolina, lieutenant governor Henry McMaster. [Applause]
GOV MCMASTER
18:02:45
Lt. Gov. Mcmaster: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Hello, delegates. Isn't this wonderful? I'm so happy to be here with you. I asked Peggy, my wife, if she had ever in her wildest dreams seen me standing here nominating Donald Trump for president. Peggy said and I quote, "I hate to tell you but I have never seen you in any of my wildest dreams. " [laughter]
18:03:21
Ladies and gentlemen, this is not a dream. This is the real thing. And it's deadly serious. We got a lot of work to do. They tell me that I was the first elected official to endorse Donald Trump in the country and it was lonely for a while, but no more. So, it is with greatest pride and happiness that I second his nomination for president of the United States of America. [Applause] Yes.
18:04:06
On December 7, 1941, after the withering attack on pearl harbor, admiral Yamamoto said and I quote: , "I feel all that we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve." Well ladies and gentlemen, he was right and for many years, the resolve of America made the world a better place. Today, the current administration has abandoned what little confidence they ever had in our constitution and our country.
18:04:46
And the world has lost confidence in us. The inevitable consequence, weakness, decline and ultimately chaos and oblivion. We feel an eerie unease in C.S. Lewis's haunting words of men without chests. But ladies and gentlemen, hat is about to change. It is about the change because finally after eight years of incompetence, arrogance and disrespect for the rule of law, the American people have had enough. [Applause] I've had enough. You've had enough.
18:05:30
We've all had enough. [ cheers and applause ] And it is time to act and we are going to act. [Applause]The sleeping giant of the American spirit has been awakened and it sounding the (inaudible word) to make America great again. Let me tell you what I know. Donald Trump is a remarkable man. He's a man of uncommon strength, uncommon determination, accomplishment and vision. He may be the only man perfectly equipped to win the ferocious battle ahead. Perhaps you have not seen Donald Trump with the people as I have.
18:06:26
Thousands of them at the rallies, sometimes waiting in line eight hours, ten hours for the chance just to get inside the building to see the man. I have never seen anything like it. Perhaps you've not heard the people, the men and women, the old and the young crying we love you, Donald. And him answering I love you too as he autographs every book, photograph, camp (?), and t shirt thrust his way, all the while smiling and posing for countless photographs. You must have glimpsed this tenderness last night with Melania. [Applause]
18:07:16
We know this man loves his family and he is walking away from a business enterprise many can hardly imagine, because he loves his country and he wants to go to work for us. [Applause] Yes, we are awakened and we are filled with a furious resolve to fight and win for our children and their children and their children and for the world. Finally, to paraphrase one of the poets of our time, Buffalo Springfield, "There's something happening here." [ cheers ] What it is is precisely clear, we are going to make America great again with Donald Trump! Thank you and god bless you. [Applause]
PAUL RYAN
18:08:38
Mr. Ryan: As required by rule 37 of our convention rules, during the roll call, the states will
Be called in alphabetical order. Any delegation may pass when it's name is called. Without objection, the state of New York may cast its votes out of order. That is not an objection, for the record. During the roll call, the chairs of each respective delegation or their designee will announce the vote of each state. During the roll call of the states, the secretary will announce each state its total number of available votes and the number of votes bound to each candidate. As required by rule 37-C, no delegation will be recognized to change its votes until all delegations who have passed have been given a second opportunity to vote.
18:09:39
Additionally, the chair like to remind all delegates that the secretary is required under the rules of the convention to announce and record delegates' votes in accordance with their obligations under rule 16 of the convention rules, state law or state, or state party rule to reflect the voter's preference in each state. [ cheers ] The official results from each state are those announced by the secretary.
18:10:13
The chair wishes to announce that if a delegate requests a poll be taken of their delegation under rule 37, the secretary will send representatives of the convention to supervise the polling of the delegation. After the poll is completed, the results will be delivered to the secretary and the secretary shall announce the results of the end of the roll call of states in accordance with the rules.
18:10:44
Shh. Yes.Lastly, I wish to remind our delegates, or alternates and guests that maintaining order is extremely important. If the convention is not in order, it is difficult for the secretary or the presiding officer to hear the vote announcement or otherwise acknowledge delegates seeking recognition. To conduct the roll call of states, I'm pleased to introduce at this time our distinguished secretary of the convention, Suzy Hudson and the assistant Jeff Kent. [Applause]
