Are you all ready for the most epic party in all of American history?

What we've been seeing over the last half hour is people connect and mix and network,

and it's a real carnival atmosphere here, Steve.

Can you make some noise for the greatest nation on the planet in God we trust?

We trust. The The You know, the celebration doesn't stop here.

This birthday party will continue from sea to shining sea.

In the coming days, our nation will enjoy an iconic Mount Rushmore celebration, an international

parade of majestic ships in New York, and of course, the biggest fireworks

display of all time right here on July 4th.

These events are so much more than just dates on a calendar.

This is a moment that will inspire a new era of American greatness.

As we honor our extraordinary history, cherish our God-given freedoms,

and look to the future with optimism, excitement, and yes, love of country.

This movement, uniting our country to commemorate its 250th birthday has no greater champion than President Donald

J. Trump.

None of this would have been possible without him and his tremendous leadership and vision to make this

great celebration possible for all Americans.

Now we have a very special evening ahead as we launched the fair and pay tribute to all

56 states and territories with grandeur, ceremony, inspiration, and of course, fun.

So please enjoy the sights and sounds of America's big birthday party on this absolutely gorgeous summer night,

and welcome to the Great American State Fair.

God bless you, and may God continue to bless the United States of America.
