Ted Cruz Slams Biden-Harris Administration, Urges Support for Trump to Protect America's Future

my fellow Republicans president Trump president Trump asked me to speak to this convention in the name of unity it was a gracious invitation and I was happy to [Applause] accept I'll start by making one thing perfectly clear Donald Trump has my strong endorsement period our country is at a critical moment we have a choice to make for more than a year I said a vote for Joe Biden is a vote for president kamla Harris after seeing the debate everyone knows it's true if we have four more years of Biden or a single day of Harris our country will be badly worse off for the sake of our nation we have to go with Donald [Applause] [Applause] Trump but there's more to it than that we should acknowledge that there are some Americans who don't agree with Donald Trump 100% of the time I happen to know some of them and I want to speak to them [Applause] tonight my message to them is simple you don't have to agree with Trump 100% of the time to vote for [Applause] take it from me I haven't always agreed with President Trump but we agree more often than we disagree [Applause] that's Donald Trump is Unstoppable elect him president again and America will be unstoppable too meanwhile Joe Biden's been out of it Democrats have been hiding the real Biden for years we saw people in the witness protection program more often than we saw unscripted Biden under Biden Harris America Has Fallen sicker lonelier and poorer under Trump we Pro ered we were richer inflation was low and there were two [Music] genders under Biden Harris inflation has gotten so bad you can no longer bribe Democrat Senators with cash alone you have to use gold bars just so the bribes hold [Applause] value oh the swamp draining will recommence soon and I will be president Trump's strongest Ally in Congress to pass term limits to stop taxpayer funding for political campaigns to ban members of Congress for life from becoming lobbyists and for the same reason you don't let the referee bet on the game ban members of Congress from Trading individual stocks I am proud to stand before you the only Republican in Congress who takes no lobbyist money no pack money it's not good for me I work for you not them president Trump he'll never defund our police but he will defund for an aid to countries that hate us and president Trump understands that if it isn't racist to check ID for a hunting license or welfare benefits or a fishing license then it is okay to demand an ID to vote everywhere in this country in every election that's held a Democrat Congressman recently said that any criticism of Joe Biden is ableist I don't think it's too much to ask that the American president be able to do the job Camala Harris isn't able to do any job she was appointed borders are appointing Camala Harris to oversee the border is like appointing Bernie maid off to oversee your retirement plan president Trump has shown the world what he is made of and now we will show the world what America is made of by having his back and how about the choice president Trump made for a running mate JD looks like a young Abraham Lincoln but he's from Ohio like General Grant and like General Grant JD Vance knows how to fight so they can run Biden from the nursing home Harris George Clooney Robert dairo whoever they want to run we are on a mission to rescue and save this country and we ride or die with Donald John Trump to the end thank you all so much thank you for having my back let's go get [Applause] him God bless Donald J Trump and let me start by giving thanks to God Almighty for Protecting President [Applause] Trump and for turning his head on Saturday as the shot was fired together we lift up in prayer all of our leaders for protection and our prayers are in particular with the family of fire chief Corey comparator and the others injured on Saturday never before has an election mattered so much we are facing an invasion on our Southern border not figuratively a literal Invasion 11.5 million people have crossed our border illegally under Joe [Music] Biden look around you this Arena holds about 18,000 Souls now imagine 639 Arenas just like this filled to the brim that is 11.5 million people larger than all but eight states in the nation but the numbers don't show us the true price that our country is paying every day Americans are dying murdered assaulted raped by illegal immigrants that the Democrats have released teenage girls and boys wearing colored wristbands are being sold into a life of sex slavery this is evil and it's wrong and it is happening every damn day think of Kate steinley she was 32 walking with her father on a San Francisco Pier when a bullet tore through her heart the man who fired that gun he'd been deported five times every damn day think of lake and Riley just 22 years old a nursing student with dreams of healing others she went for a job and never came home her life takes by someone who should have never been here every damn day or Rachel Marin a beautiful mother of five raped and murdered in Suburban Maryland by an illegal immigrant the Democrats released every damn day or Joselyn nungu only 12 years old it was just one month ago today that she was brutally raped and murdered in Houston by two men who were supposed to be detained and monitored but instead released and allowed to roam free every damn day these aren't just stories or statistics there are daughters our sisters our friends the families don't care about the empty numbers they care about The Empty Chairs at the dinner table about the voices they'll never hear again about the laughter lost and about the dreams that will never be fulfilled I've sat with these families in living rooms where the silence is so loud that it hurts where photo albums are opened with Trembling Hands how did we get here it happened because Democrats cynically decided they wanted votes from illegals more than they wanted to protect our children [Applause] today as a result of Joe Biden's presidency your family is less safe your children are less safe the country is less safe but here's the good news we can fix it and when Donald Trump is President we will fix it [Applause] we know this because he's done it before I know this because I worked hand inand with President Trump to secure our border and we achiev the lowest rate of illegal immigration in 45 years it's real simple he's done it before and he'll do it again so tonight I speak for Kate and Leen and Rachel tonight I speak for Joselyn and let us go forward together and keep our sacred oath to defend the Constitution and to protect the American people let us secure our borders enforce our laws protect our children and restore the [Applause] future because when we do that when we remember who we are and who we love and we act to protect them then and only then will we truly make America great [Applause] again thank you God bless Texas and God bless the United States of America please welcome the mayor of East Palestine Ohio Trent Conaway [Applause] good evening February 3rd 2023 began like any other Midwestern day but in a heartbeat everything changed I'm Trent Conaway the proud mayor of East Palestine Ohio [Applause] when the Train derailed spewing flames and toxic chemicals to our town faced the disaster unlike we'd ever seen and in the chaos we witnessed a clear contrast between leadership and incompetence our First Responders didn't hesitate they raced to the scene they battled the flames and evacuated our citizens and for that I want to thank every one of them tonight unfortunately the Biden administration's Federal response was much different in constant it consisted almost of entirely of meetings and press events they talked and talked but they delivered little help then there was the clear difference between former president Trump and President Biden for the longest time the White House was silent and and we never heard a word from vice president Harris I guess we weren't their type of folks no Hollywood Elites or Wall Street billionaires live in East Palestine just hardworking Americans but Donald Trump cared first he called to ask permission to visit not wanting to intrude and then he asked how he could help when he arrived with fresh palet of drinking water he met with everyone from First Responders to local officials and residents he tore the derailment site he listened to us and he shared a meal with volunteers at the local McDonald's his presence was genuine his concern was real after a year of criticis criticism President Biden finally did show up his appearance was brief forc and scripted he met with a select few and then left we needed so much and he delivered so little I know a thing or two about train wrecks now and let me tell you that's what the Biden Administration has [Applause] been before President Boton derails our entire nation we need to act we need a leader who values small town communities as much as big cities we need need a president who loves all [Applause] Americans we need Donald J Trump thank [Applause] a [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music]

aren looking he always wants to know how we're doing in school when I made the high honor Ral he printed it out to show his friend how proud he was of me I know he calls me during the middle of the school day to ask how my golf game is going and tells me all about his but then I have to remind him that I'm in school and I'll have to call him back later when we play golf together if I'm not on his team he'll try to get inside of my head I know and he's always surprised that I don't let him get to me but I have to remind him I'm a trump too even when he's going through all these court cases he he always ask me how I'm doing he always encourages me to push myself to be the most successful person I can be obviously he sets the bar pretty high but who knows maybe one day I'll catch [Applause] him on Saturday I was shocked when I heard that he has been shot and I just wanted to know if he was okay it was heartbreaking that someone would do that to another person person a lot of people have put my grandpa through hell and he's still [Music] [Applause] standing Grandpa you are such an inspiration and I love [Applause] you the media makes my grandpa seem like a different person

Senate to the house to the president the past president and you owe answers to the the presid the President should have this protection cry out L on the of this country Africa for some of us I'm John barasso chairman of the Senate Republican conference and Senator blacken and I just went B Toof face with the director of The Secret Service asking for specific answers about what happened with President Trump in Pennsylvania and how that shooter was able to get off a clear shot when the FBI and Secret Service knew that there was a suspicious person an hour in advance of when the shooting occurred and they identified a potential threap at 551 she would not answer our questions she wanted to say it was not the time or place this is after we've been through a conference call today where the question queue got cut off but I've got a message for her she can run but she cannot hide because the American people want to know how an assassination attempt was carried out on former president Donald [Applause] Trump good evening good evening when I was asked to introduced my husband JD Vance to all of you I was at a loss what could I say that hasn't already been said before after all the man was already the subject of a Ron Howard movie JD has shared much of his life through his own eloquent words in his book hillbilly yogy during his Senate campaign and now as a sitting United States Senator it occurred to me that there was only one thing to do to explain from the heart why I love and admire JD and stand here beside him today and why he will make a great Vice President of the United [Applause] States I met JD in law school when he was fresh out of Ohio State which he attended with the support of the GI Bill we were friends first because I mean who wouldn't want to be friends with JD he was then as now the most interesting person I knew a workingclass guy who who had overcome childhood traumas that I could barely fathom to end up at Yale law school a tough Marine who had served in Iraq but whose idea of a good time was playing with puppies and watching the movie Babe the most determined person I knew with one overriding ambition to become a husband and a father and to build the kind of tight-knit family that he had longed for as a child my background is very different from JD's I grew up in San Diego in a middle class Community with two loving parents both immigrants from India and a wonderful sister that JD and I could meet at all let alone fall in love in Mary is a testament to this great country [Applause] it is also a testament to JD and it tells you something about who he is when JD met me he approached our differences with curiosity and enthusiasm he wanted to know everything about me where I came from what my life had been like although he's a meat and potatoes kind of guy he adapted to my veget Arian diet and learned to cook food from my mother Indian food before I knew it he'd become an integral part of my family a person I could not man could not imagine living without the JD I knew then is the same JD you see today except for that beard and and his goals in this new role are the same that he has pursued for our family to keep people safe to create opportunities to build a better life and to solve problems with an open mind it's safe to say that neither JD nor I expected to find ourselves in this position but it's hard to imagine a more powerful example of the American dream a boy from Middletown Ohio [Applause] raised by his grandmother through tough times chosen to help lead our country through some of its greatest challenges I am grateful to all of you for the trust youve placed in him and in our family and with that it is my great privilege to introduce my husband and the next Vice President of the United States JD [Applause] Vance we've heard about villains and their victims I've talked a lot about that but let me tell you about the future president Trump's vision is so simple and yet so powerful we're done ladies and gentlemen catering to Wall Street will commit to The Working [Applause] Man we're done importing foreign labor we're going to fight for American citizens and their good jobs and their good wages we're done buy an energy from countries that hate us we're going to get it right here from American workers in Pennsylvania and Ohio and across the country we are done sacrificing Supply chains to unlimited global trade and we're going to stamp more and more products with that beautiful label made in the USA [Applause] we're going to build factories again put people to work making real products for American families made with the hands of American workers together we will protect the wages of American workers and stop the Chinese Communist Party from building their middle class on the backs of American [Applause] citizens together we will make sure our allies share in the burden of securing World Peace no more free rides for Nations that betray the generosity of the American taxpayer [Applause] together we will send our kids to war only when we must but as president Trump showed with the elimination of Isis and so much more when we punch we're going to punch [Applause] hard together we will put the citizens of of America first whatever the color of their skin we will in short make America great again [Applause] you guys are a great crowd wow [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] and it's about our movement is about single moms like mine who struggled with money and addiction but never gave up and I'm proud to say that tonight my mom is here 10 years clean and sober I love you Mom [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] and and and you know Mom I was thinking it'll be 10 years officially in January of 2025 and if president Trump's okay with it let's have the celebration in the White [Applause] House name is Pastor Lorenzo Su I have the honor and the privilege of being a senior pastor at 180 Church and we were blessed last month to have President Donald Trump come to Detroit Michigan let's go can you imagine it can you imagine president Donald Trump coming to a city and calling a pastor like me a pastor who was born and raised on the east side of Detroit I was mentored by m MERS I was a student of the street but I had a radical experience with Jesus Christ that changed my life forever come on if you believe that Jesus still changed lives come on put your hands together and give our great God great [Applause] Glory president Trump came to to a church that is in a democratic stronghold he came to a church to listen to average every day Americans like you and like me he came to a church not to speak to us but to listen to us he came into a church and a lot of people they were upset a lot of people they would ask me questions why would you allow Donald Trump to come in to your church how many know that the Bible says we are all sinners and we all need the grace of God how many know that the Bible says he who has not sinned let him cast the first [Applause] stone president Donald Trump he came during his birthday weekend let me ask you a question grand old party what would you do for your birthday of you were worth $6.7 billion what would you do for your birthday would you come to Detroit would you come into the hood hood he came to the hood because he cares about average everyday Americans brand old party I need to ask you a question what would you ask for your birthday if you could go to maril Lago or if you could go to New York what would you ask for your birthday he asked for [Applause] prayer I believe that prayer is preventative and prayer is proactive I believe believe that praying in the name of Jesus changes [Applause] everything and when we prayed for president Trump only God knew that 30 days later there would be a miracle by a millimeter [Applause] only God knew that if we prayed for him during his birthday there would be a miracle by a [Applause] millimeter if president Trump had moved 1 mimer he wouldn't have been here on Monday to talk to us about how America was going to be made wealthy again if president Donald Trump would have moved just a millimeter he wouldn't have been here on Tuesday to talk about how he was going to make America secure again if president Donald Trump would have moved just a millimeter he wouldn't have been here on Wednesday to tell us how he was going to make America strong again [Applause] again and if president Trump would have moved just a millimeter we will not be hearing tonight how he was going to make America great again [Applause] [Applause] before I take my seat I just got to talk to you about something called Providence and something called sovereignty God's sovereignty is his ability to be able to do what he wants when he wants because he's God and God's Providence it's when he does what he wants when he wants for all of you did you know that President Trump was shy on 611 and do you know that Ephesians chapter number 6 verse number 11 says be strong in the Lord and in his mighty [Applause] power so all my Democrat friends I want to ask you one question do you know anybody that was the 45th president he he was convicted of 34 accounts he raised $53 million in 24 hours and could be the 47th president of the United States of America and he was shot one time do you know anybody like that [Applause] to all my friends back in Detroit who are Democrats I want to ask you just one simple question you can't deny the power of God on this man's life you can't deny that God protected him you cannot deny that it was a millimeter miracle that was able to save this man's life couldn't be that Jesus Christ preserved him for such a time as this could it [Applause] be could it be that when we prayed for him when he came to the Round Table in Detroit that Jesus asked and he received that we sought him and then he found protection could it be that you're king of glory the lord God strong and mighty The God Who is mighty and battled protected Donald Trump because he wants to use him for such a time is this if you believe that come on put your hands together and give a great God great Glory w [Applause] well let me tell you something brother you know something when I came here tonight there was so much energy in this room I felt maybe I was in Madison Square Garden getting ready to win another world title or maybe I thought the vibe was so intense the energy was so crazy it felt like maybe I was going to press that no good stinky giant over my head and slam him through the mat brother but what I found out was I was in a room full of real Americans brother and at the end of the day with our leader up there my hero that gladiator we're going to bring America back together one

president of this United [Applause] States you know guys I've known Donald Trump for over 35 years you know hold on a second hold on I just had a flashback I just had a flashback man this is really tripping you know the last time I was up on stage Donald Trump was sitting at Ringside at the Trump Plaza I was bleeding like a pig and I won the world title right in front of Donald J Trump and you know something he's going to win in November and we're all going to be champions again when he wins and like I said I've known that man for over 35 years and he's always been the biggest Patriot and

winning again [Applause] you know guys over my career I've been in the ring with some of the biggest some of the baddest dudes on the planet and I've squared off against Warriors oo yeah Savages and I've even like I said body slam Giants in the middle of the ring and I know tough guys but let me tell you something brother Donald Trump is the toughest of them all yeah they've thrown everything at Donald Trump all the investigations the impeachments the court cases and he's still standing and kicking their [Applause] butts you know we never had a better than the Trump years back then we had a thriving economy we had strong borders we had Safe Streets we had peace and respect around the world but then we lost it all in a blink of an eye crime is out of control the border is out of control the price of food and gas and housing is out of control and the only person who can clean this up is Donald Trump you know guys I really really love this country and I've lived the American dream and I want my kids your kids and all those little teeny hulkamaniacs out there to live the American dream [Applause] too this November guys we can save the American dream for everyone and Donald Trump is the president who will get the job done so all you criminals all you low lives all you scumbags all you drug dealers and all you crooked politicians need to answer one question brother what you going to do when Donald Trump and all the Trump Maniacs run wild on you brother God bless you and thank you [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] w [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] let me begin this evening by expressing my gratitude to the American people for your outpouring of love and support following the assassination attempt at my rally on Saturday as you already know the Assassins bullet came within a quarter of an inch of taking my life so many people have asked me what happened tell us what happened please and therefore I will tell you exactly what happened and you'll never hear hear it from me a second time because it's actually too painful to tell it was a warm beautiful day in the early evening in Butler Township in the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania music was loudly playing and the campaign was doing really well I went to the stage and the crowd was cheering wildly everybody was happy I began speaking very strongly powerfully and happily because I was discussing the great job my Administration did on immigration at the southern border we were very proud of [Applause] it behind me and to the right was a large screen that was displaying a chart of border crossings under my leadership the numbers were absolutely amazing in order to see the chart I started to like this turn to my right and was ready to begin a little bit further turn which I'm very lucky I didn't do when I heard a loud whizzing sound and felt something hit me really really hard on my right ear I said to myself wow what was that it can only be a bullet and moved my right hand to my ear brought it down my hand was covered with blood just absolutely blood all over the place I immediately knew it was very serious that we were under attack and in one movement proceeded to drop to the ground bullets were continuing to fly as very brave Secret Service agents rushed to the stage and they really did they rushed to this F these are great people at Great risk I will tell you and pounced on top of me so that I would be protected there was blood pouring everywhere and yet in a certain way I felt very safe because I had God on my side I felt that the amazing thing is that prior to the shot if I had not moved my head at that very last instant the Assassin's bullet would have perfectly hit its Mark and I would not be here tonight we would not be together the most incredible aspect ECT of what took place on that terrible evening in the fading sun was actually seen later in almost all cases as you probably know and when even a single bullet is fired just a single bullet and we had many bullets that were being fired crowds Run for the exits or Stampede but not in this case it's very unusual [Applause] [Music] this massive crowd of tens of thousands of people stood by and didn't move an inch in fact many of them bravely but automatically stood up looking for where the sniper would be they knew immediately it was a sniper and then began pointing at him you can see that if you look at the group behind me that was just a small group compared to what was in front nobody ran and by not stampeding many lives were saved but that isn't the reason that they didn't move the reason is that they knew I was in very serious trouble they saw it they saw me go down they saw the blood and thought actually most did that I was dead they knew it was a shot to the Head they saw the blood and there's an interesting statistic the ears are the bloodiest part if something happens with the ears they bleed more than any other part of the body for whatever reason the doctors told me that I said why is there so much blood he said it's the ears they bleed more so we learned something but they just they just this beautiful crowd they didn't want to leave me they knew I was in trouble they didn't want to leave me and you can see that that love written all over their faces incredible people they're incredible people bullets were flying over us yet I felt Serene but now the Secret Service agents were putting themselves in Peril they were in very dangerous territory bullets were flying right over them missing them by a very small amount of inches and then it all stopped our secret service sniper from a much greater distance and with only one bullet used took the Assassin's life took him [Applause] out I'm not supposed to be here tonight not supposed to be here yes you are yes you are [Applause] thank you but I'm not and I'll tell you I stand before you in this Arena only by the grace of almighty God [Applause] in watching the reports over the last few days many people say it was a providential moment probably was when I Rose surrounded by Secret Service the crowd was confused because they thought I was dead and there was great great sorrow I could see that on their faces as I looked at they didn't know I was looking out they thought it was over but I could see it and I wanted to do something to let him know I was okay I raised my right arm looked at the thousands and thousands of people that were breathlessly waiting and started shouting fight fight fight thank you once my clenched fist went up and it was high into the air you've all seen that the crowd realized I was okay and roared with pride for our country like no crowd I have ever heard before never heard anything like that for the rest of my life I will be grateful for the love shown by that giant audience of Patriots that stood bravely on that fateful evening in Pennsylvania tragically the shooter claimed the life of one of our fellow Americans Corey comparator unbelievable person everybody tells me unbelievable and seriously wounded two other great warriors spoke to them today David Dutch and James copenhaver two great people I also spoke to all three families of these tremendous people our love and prayers are with them and always will be we're never going to forget them they came for a Great Rally they were serious trumpsters I want to tell you they were serious trumpsters and still are but Corey unfortunately we have to use the past tense he was incredible he was a highly respected former fire chief respected by everybody was accompanied by his wife Helen in credible woman I spoke to her today devastated and two precious daughters he lost his life selflessly acting as a human shield to protect them from flying bullets he went right over the top of them and was hit What a fine man he was [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] I want to thank the fire department and the family for sending his helmet is outfit and uh it was just something and they're going to do something very special when they get it but we did something which cannot match what happened not even close but I am very proud to say that over the past few days we've raised 6.3 [Applause] million for the families of David James and Corey in including from a friend of mine just called up he sent me a check right here I just got it $1 million from Dan nulan thank you Dan and again when speaking to the family I told them I said well I'm going to be sending you a lot of money but it can't compensate they all said the same thing you're right sir we appreciate so much what you're doing but nothing can take the place in the case of Corey and the other two by the way they were very very seriously injured but now they're doing very well they're going to be okay they're going to be doing very [Applause] well the Warriors so now I ask that we observe a moment of silence in honor of our friend Corey there is no greater love than to lay down one's life for others this is the spirit that forged America in her Darkest Hours and this is the love that will lead America back to the summit of human achievement and greatness is what we need despite such a heinous attack we unite this evening more determined than ever I am more determined than ever and so are you so is everybody in our resolve is unbroken and our purpose is unchanged to deliver a government that serves the American people better than ever before nothing will stop me in this Mission because our vision is righteous and our cause is pure no matter what obstacle comes our way we will not break we will not Bend we will not back down and I will never stop fighting for you your family and our magnificent country never and everything I have to give with all of the energy and fight in my heart and soul I pledge to our nation tonight thank you very much I pledge that to our nation going to turn our nation around and we're going to do it very quickly thank [Applause] you this election should be about the issues facing our country and how to make America successful safe free and great again in an age when our politics too often divide us now is the time to remember that we are all fellow citizens we are one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for [Applause] all and we must not criminalize dissent or demonize political disagreement which is what's been happening in our country lately at a level that nobody has ever seen before in that Spirit the Democrat Party should immediately stop weaponizing the justice system and labeling their political opponent as an enemy of [Applause] democracy especially since that is not true in fact I am the one saving democracy for the people of our country less than four years ago I handed this Administration the strongest Border in American history but you can see on the chart that saved my life that was the chart that saved my life I said look at I'm so proud of it I think it's one of the greatest it was done by the border patrol one of the greatest charts I've ever seen it showed everything just like that you know the chart oh there it is that's pretty good wow last time I put up that chart I never really got to look at it but without that chart I would not be here today never got to look at it I said you got to see this chart I was so proud of it and by the time I got to there I never got to see it that day but I'm seeing it now and I was very proud if you look at the arrow on the bottom that's the lowest level the one on the bottom heavy red arrow that's the lowest level of illegal immigrants ever to come into our country in recorded history right there right there and that was my last week in office and then you see what happened after I left look at the rest and if you go out a little bit further it's getting to be a little bit old but I love it anyway right but you can go much higher with those numbers look what happened right after that The Invasion began we had the opposite we stopped The Invasion but the invasion that we stopped was peanuts by comparison to what happened after I left look at what happened after I left they took over our country we ended all catch and release we shut down Asylum fraud we stopped human trafficking and forg historic agreements to keep illegal aliens on foreign soil we want them to stay on their soil under the Trump Administration if you came in illegally you were apprehended immediately and you were deported you went right back the current Administration terminated every single one of those great Trump policies that I put in place to seal the Border I wanted to seal border again come in but come in Legally you know how unfair it is so many people hundreds of thousands of people have been working for years to come into our country and now they see these people pour into our country at levels that are unprecedented so unfair and we're not going to do it we're not going to stand for it they suspended wall construction ended remain in Mexico we had a policy remain in Mexico you think that was easy to get from the Mexican government but I said you must give it to us if you don't give it to us there will be repercussions and they gave it to us but not easy cancelled our safe third agreements demolished title 42 implemented Nationwide Catch and Release that's Catch and Release where we catch them and release them into our country I had we catch them and release them into Mexico there's a slight difference take [Music] shining for let she be on my my master his I I he and K [Music] Amica God sh his
