Trump Visits Border Wall in Arizona to Mark 200th Mile of Construction Read Transcript


- President Trump is in Arizona tonight

for his second rally duringthe coronavirus pandemic,

coming just days after whatwas a disappointing turnout

for the campaign in Tulsa.

- And as more campaign staffers

test positive for the virus.

CBN White House Correspondent, Ben Kennedy

joins us with the latest.

Ben.

- Well, Jenna, as ya all know,

that rally you guys were talkin' about,

will be held at DreamCenter Church in Phoenix.

It can hold around 3,000 people.

This is President Trump'sthird time visiting the state.

The most recent was in May,

when he toured a mask-making facility.

President Trump boarded AirForce One, bound for Yuma,

as the state battles aspike in COVID-19 cases,

the virus, even hittinghis campaign staff.

Six tested positive beforeTrump's rally in Tulsa.

And now we've learned two more staffers,

who attended the campaignstop in Oklahoma,

tested positive afterwards.

- At the Tulsa rally, when themedia's hitting you on that,

where you said, "I told mystaff, stop the testing."

They're saying, was thattongue in cheek or--

- It's semi-tongue in cheek.I say it all the time.

I know well, some peoplethought it was tongue in cheek.

It's unfair.

We're doing so much testing,

so much more than any other country.

And to be honest with you,when you do more testing,

you find more cases.

And then they report ourcases are through the roof.

- But just to clear up,

there wasn't a direct order, if you will,

to staff to stop the testing?

- No, but I think we putourselves at a disadvantage.

- [Ben] Arizona Senator MarthaMcSally, traveled with Trump

to see the progress beingmade at our southern border.

She recently appeared on Faith Nation

with a message of hope,

as the country facesa surge in infections,

and the U.S. death toll hitting 120,000.

- So let's all work together

to allow people to safely work,

safely go about their lives

while we still fight this virus.

We will defeat this virus,as we're investing in cures,

and we're investing intreatments and vaccines.

But it's going to be among us,

so let's each do our part.

- And aside from thatrally in Phoenix tonight,

President Trump also toured a border fence

between Mexico and Yuma,

and then held a round table discussion

about border secure.
