Watters: The Democratic Party is running AGAINST America

Fox News alert, it is Trumpapalooza time. Night one of the GOP midterm convention officially underway, and it started with a bang, introducing the presidential tenor. Tonight, Republicans are going to put on a show. The main event? President Trump. He'll be speaking later tonight, and you can watch it here on Fox. But first, Trump had his top cabinet officials, they're warming up in the bullpen, Treasury Secretary Scott Besant is going to hit the stage soon, but before him, running for governor of Florida, Byron Donalds. And later, two UFC champs are going to do their thing. The crowd sold out, over 20,000 in attendance, 47 gave us a little preview before boarding Air Force One. I think we're going to have a tremendous crowd tonight, sold out, looks very big, looks very exciting, and we're going to explain what we've done. We've done things that have never been done in the first term or the second term, frankly, of a president. The economy is very strong, the investment in our country is the biggest in the history of any country, not just our country. We have factories being built all over the world right now, and it's very exciting to see. There was already a surprise. Democrat Senator John Fetterman just made a stunning cameo, praising Republicans for saving the steel industry. This is a major coup for Donald Trump, and if Fetterman switches sides, it's going to leave the Democrat Party in a state of shock. The Republican Party looking for a major upset, trying to defy history. The party in power always loses the midterms. Bill Clinton lost 54 House seats. Obama lost 63. And in Trump's first term, he lost 41. It's usually how it goes. It's not supposed to be close, but this year, it kind of is. The generic congressional ballot has Democrats up by about six. It's not a very big lead and doesn't look like a wave, but anything could happen. It's still early. Even though Republicans are down, they still have some advantages. They won the redistricting wars and have a new strategy and a secret weapon. We are putting the president on the ballot, and that's exactly what we're doing with this midterm convention. He is committed to putting and using his name. He's the best showman that's ever existed in the Republican Party. We're going to use him where we can, where it's going to be advantageous. In order to defy history, you've got to do things a little bit differently, and that's why we're doing this Republican convention. Donald Trump's the most popular Republican president in U.S. history. Insiders call him a turnout machine, saying, quote, we've seen that a lot of Trump voters, they'll crawl over glass to vote for the president. Even though his name's not on the ballot, the party's going to act like it. The House, bit of a climb, but the Senate, Republicans can still hold on, so every vote counts. The president's gearing up to do over 30 rallies, and he's sitting on about a $400 million war chest that he just cracked open. Today, $50 million has been wired to key Senate races. But money can't buy you love. You've got to be able to talk to them. So tonight, Republicans are going to talk to the American people and tell them what they've done. A major theme this evening? The border. You don't really hear much about it anymore, and that's a good thing. It's been completely sealed. Two and a half million illegals were sent home in handcuffs or just walked out on their own. And for the first time in 50 years, America experienced negative immigration. Fentanyl deaths are down, and the cartels on their heels, thanks to the War Department blowing up coke boats. And on top of that, America's murder rate is at an all-time low. Violent crime? Way down, thanks to ICE and the National Guard. And the FBI's 10 most wanted list? We took down nine in record time. Plus the top five fraudsters got nabbed. Tonight, we're not going to hear from politicians. We're going to hear from working Americans testifying about the impact of the Trump tax cuts. Big, fat refund checks. No tax on tips or OT. And moms set up Trump accounts for their little kiddos. We'll hear from factory workers about the blue-collar wage boom. A million private sector jobs have been created. And foreign investment pouring in at a 50 percent higher clip than Joe Biden. Stock market, record high. And inflation's gotten under control after Bidenomics pushed it up about 21 percent over four years. Now, instead of leaving it to the next president or the next, Trump decided to launch trade wars and the Iran war, risky bets that we've won, but the country's still dealing with some blowback. We'll get into more of the president's record later and tomorrow night, but everything we just said, Republicans are confident that they can frame that up against the Democrat record, which is lacking. The party's done nothing in 25 years except Obamacare. But the program went bankrupt and raised premiums. Republicans are calling their agenda a common sense revolution. The last administration, exact opposite. Dylann Mulvaney. It's like a guest of honor at the White House. They recognize transgenders on Easter. Sex changes for kids, guys spiking volleyballs in girls' faces, people concerned about pronouns. That's all over. But Democrats aren't just going to forget they lost the culture war. So they're going to be back and they're going to be weird. So the Republicans are going to press that advantage tonight and show a little patriotism. Gallup poll shows that only 27% of Democrats are proud to be American. That's all the way down from 85% at the start of this century. The Democrat Party and its communist base are running against America. They want to shatter the pillars of Western civilization. Their words, not mine. They want to abolish the Senate, police, ICE, and of course the border. Some of them are even calling for reparations and rent control. Others have a little bit of a problem with whites. And a majority of Democrats don't prefer capitalism. It's like we're fighting the Cold War here in our own country. Now when you ask Democrats what they want to do if they win, they won't tell you. They keep it a little secret because if you heard it, you wouldn't vote for it. Now what are they really going to do? They're going to impeach Trump again and shut down the government again. Oh, and probably investigate every sneeze, sniffle, and hiccup. How does that help you? No idea. But that's what they want, and that's what they'll do. Nothing they've done has worked in decades. Homeless, global warming, defund the police. Now they want government-run grocery stores. And free college for everybody, including illegals, which is crazy town. California giving free breast implants to migrants. So if Republicans turn out, they can stop all that nonsense. Texas, key turf. Tallarico versus Paxton, race is tight. Trump's raising a lot of cash for Paxton, and this convention they're hoping boosts his support. MAGA hats flying off the shelves. I'm not a Trump supporter, I'm a Trump fanatic. I like to attend to think that my job is to make sure that those hats is on people's heads when he's up there speaking. Do hats mean votes? We have no idea. We'll find out in 55 days.
