Gradually,
the
shooter claimed the life of 1 of our fellow Americans, Corey,
comparator,
unbelievable person, everybody tells me.
Unbelievable.
And seriously wounded,
2 other great warriors.
Spoke to them today,
David Dutch and James
Kopenhauer,
2 great people.
I also spoke to all 3 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 Cory, unfortunately,
we have to use the past tense. He was incredible.
He was a highly respected former fire chief, respected by everybody.
He was accompanied by his
wife, Helen,
incredible woman. I spoke to her today, devastated,
and 2 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.
I want to thank the fire department and the family for
sending
his helmet, his
outfit,
and
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
million
for
the
$6.3
million
for the families of David, James,
and Corey,
including, from a friend of mine, Just called up, he sent me a check right here. I just got it.
1000000 dollars.
From Dan Newland. 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 2, 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 well.
They're warriors.
So now
I ask that we observe a moment of silence in honor of
our friend Cory.
Thanks
for watching!
