Donald Trump shakes his hand, then steps aside to listen. At the Port Huron rally, Todd Beamer's father moves from remembering his son aboard United Flight 93 on September 11 to asking Michigan voters to support Republicans.
The speech, posted as a separate broadcast excerpt by Right Side Broadcasting Network, drew about 45,000 views in eight hours, an unusually fast start for the channel's regular videos. Its comment section was already far busier than a typical full first day, with viewers returning to Todd's memory and the words associated with him.
The address is both a remembrance and an explicitly partisan campaign speech. Beamer's father calls for the election of Mike Rogers and John James, criticizes Abdul El-Sayed and Democratic socialists, and asks independent and Democratic voters to cross party lines. "Do a little cross over, America depends on it," he says.
RSBN also posted the full Port Huron rally replay and a separate excerpt featuring Nicki Minaj's remarks about Trump, both drawing unusually quick audiences for their respective formats.
Beamer's father closes by bringing his son's familiar words into the rally, leading the crowd in a chant of "Let's roll!"
