1. SOUNDBITE (English) Donald Trump, US President:
"And you see it now better than ever, with all of the resignations of bad apples, they're bad apples. They tried for a coup, didn't work out so well. And I didn't need a gun for that one, did I? All was taking place at the highest levels in Washington D.C. You've been watching, you've been seeing it. You've been looking at things that you wouldn't have believed possible in our country. Corruption at the highest level. A disgrace. Spying, surveillance, calling for an overthrow and we caught em. We caught em."
++WHITE FLASH BETWEEN SOUNDBITES++
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Donald Trump, US President:
"America's future has never been brighter and yet Democrats have never been angrier. Especially now that their collusion delusion has been exposed to the world as a complete and total fraud."
++BLACK BETWEEN SOUNDBITES++
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Donald Trump, US President:
"Democrats are obsessed with hoaxes, delusions and witch hunts, that's what they're obsessed with, that's what they want to do. And we can play the game just as well or better than they do. Far left radicals in Congress want to take away your voice, your jobs, your rights and they especially want to take away your guns, you know that. They want to take away your guns. You better get out there and vote. You better get out there and vote. It seems like it's a long ways away it's not. I was saying to Melania, our great first lady whose birthday it is today. Happy birthday Melania."

STORYLINE:
President Donald Trump is launching his speech to the National Rifle Association with a recitation of grievances about special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.
Speaking to the gun rights group's annual convention Friday, Trump said his political enemies "tried for a coup, didn't work out so well. And I didn't need a gun for that one, did I?'
The friendly audience applauded the quip, but Trump wasn't done. He said he's seen "corruption at the highest levels. A disgrace. Spying. Surveillance trying for an overthrow."
Mueller's probe found no evidence that Trump and his campaign colluded with the Russians to influence the 2016 presidential election.
But his report contained damning detail about Trump's efforts to shut down the investigation, fire Mueller and lie. Some Democrats say there's ample evidence of obstruction of justice.
Trump said Democrats are "obsessed with hoaxes, delusions and witch hunts." And in a pre-emptive attack against his 2016 Democratic challengers, Trump also claimed that Democrats "want to take away your guns.
And he told the thousands in the crowd: "You better get out there and vote," saying of the 2020 election, "It seems like it's a long ways away. It's not."
Trump also wished his wife, First Lady Melania Trump a happy birthday.
