strikingly similar. his business career in the private sector, grading tens of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars of value. the other has excelled in the public sector, also creating indexhile lowering taxes ending educational opportunities for our most vulnerable citizens. the level of shall we say, directness, rarely experienced in public life. the other is reserved and soft-spoken. one has unapologetically most pressing
12:09 pm
issues of our time. the other has been one of our most unflinching voices of conservative values. for all their differences, donald trump and mike pence have in common. both have wonderful families and deep sense of gratitude for the opportunity that their nations have given them. came to this next great challenge in their lives as s, disruptors, .isrupting the status quo both needed change in the dysfunctional washington at a time when seven out of 10 americans feel our country is wrong direction. both seek with clarity and conviction -- because with terrorism and disaster -- disastrous effects government that companies both

washington's gridlock, they are proving that one struggling state can be made great again. [applause] >> thank you all. you, john, members of the board, recession committee, detroit economic club, i am welcome.for that warm it was just a few short weeks
12:12 pm
ago as a fellow midwesterner, a governor from a state just south here, that i was humbled to accept the republican nomination as vicend it serves president of the united states of america.

[applause]
12:13 pm
and it is an honor for me to , a man who i have just gotten to know personally over the past couple of months. friends.ecome fast it seems like someone i have life, quite frankly. so -- like so many other entrepreneurs in america, donald trump is a dreamer, builder, a driver, and a man who speaks his mind. sayhe is also a man i would -- what is so refreshing about donald trump and explains the connection he is literally made to millions of americans, thatse even as he is told -- skyscrapers to the sky, the largest cities, he is never forgotten the men and women who work with their hands, who grow our food, build our roads, who protect our families. sense, he has who has built
12:14 pm
alongside the men and women who have done the work. far off theim campaign trail, to see him among the people of work with him and for him for years, you see that connection. level around donald trump, and he is the kind of leader that is continuously andng questions of everyone at everyone in his organizations. it is truly inspiring to see him work. is quite the contrast from other party's nominee. they tell us this economy is the best we can do. american people know it is a little bit different than that. the last quarter gdp report, 1.2% growth, the slowest and smite 49. extraordinary to think the rate and labor in since the the lowest 1970's. and probably most heartbreaking of all, the number of americans increasedpoverty has million over the
12:15 pm
years.5 the american people know it is nowhere near the best we can do, it is just the best they can do. and donald trump is going to this nation back to a dynamic and growing economy that people.r all of our today donald trump were outlined in vision that will unleash the thedless potential of american people and the american economy by empowering working large andbusinesses small, and entrepreneurs to hire to invest, to build and to grow americaroduce here in again. --let me say [applause] it is truly a privilege, but also a high honor or me to iou a man who believe will make america great
12:16 pm
again and will be the next president of the united states of america, your speaker, donald trump. [applause] mr. trump: thank you, everybody. thank you very much. thank you. such a crowd. beautiful. thank you very much. thank you. thank you. please. thank you for the invitation to speak to you today. wonderful to be in detroit . many times. we now begin a great national conversation about economic renewal for america.
12:17 pm
a conversation about how to make america great again for , especially, and i say those who have at the very least. ourcity of detroit is where city begins. detroit was once the economic envy of the world. the people of detroit help to america for the position of global dominance in the 20th century. [crowd cheers] thank you. thank you very much.
12:18 pm
when we were governed by the detroitfirst policy, was absolutely booming. engineers, laborers, shippers and countless others went to work each day, provided for families and lived out, out the american dream. many living in this city that dream has long ago vanished. we abandon the policy of america first, we started countries other instead of our own. skyscrapers went up in beijing and many other cities around the world while factories and neighborhoods crumbled right here in detroit. roads and bridges fell into disrepair, yet we found the money to resettle millions of refugees at taxpayer expense
12:19 pm
today detroit has a per capita $15,000, about half of the national average. resident live in poverty. times -- over 2.5 times the national average. half of all detroit residents do work. detroit tops the list of the most dangerous cities in terms of violent crime. >> [indiscernible] [applause] thank you.
12:20 pm
detroit tops the list of most dangerous cities in terms of violent crime. these are silent victims whose stories are never told by clinton, but the victim suffering is no less real or permanent. in short, the city of detroit is living, breathing example of failed economic agenda. [applause] every policy that has failed to it -- this city and so many others is a policy supported by clinton. she supports high taxes and regulation that forced and out of your community the crime policy have made you far less safe and the
12:21 pm
immigration policies that have strained local budgets and the nafta, signedke husband, that have shipped your jobs to mexico and , and shentries supports the education policies that deny your students choice, freedom, and opportunity. [applause] she is the candidate of the past , ours is the campaign of the future. [applause] this is a city controlled by democratic politicians at every , and unless we change policies, we will not change results, 100%. [applause] today i will outline my economic
12:22 pm
vision. in the coming weeks we will be offering more detail on all of these policies and the ones we out [applause]ed thank you, everybody. this is what happens when you go from 35 people too close to 2000 guess.i , we will beg weeks on all ofore details these policies, and the ones we have artie rolled out can be viewed on my campaign website. our opposition, on the other hand, has long ago run out of ideas.
12:23 pm
all hillary clinton has to offer same.e of the more taxes, more regulation, , moreureaucrats restrictions on american energy and more restrictions on american production. if you are a foreign power looking to weaken america, you could not do better than hillary clinton's economic agenda. [applause] nothing would make a foreign than for ourpier country to tax and regulate our right out of jobs existence. everye common feature of hillary clinton idea is it punishes you for working and doing business in the united states. [applause] every policy she has builds the
12:24 pm
playing field for other countries that are its ends, and tries tohy she distract us with tired political rhetoric that seeks to label us, divide us and pull us apart. my campaign is about reaching everyone as americans and returning to a government that the american people first. [applause] thank you. thank you. here is what an american first economic plan looks like. first, let's talk tax reform.
12:25 pm
taxes are one of the biggest race.ences in this hillary clinton, who has spent her career voting for tax increases, plans another job killing $1.3 trillion tax increase. big increase, one of the biggest ever. would tax small businesses by almost it be percent. recently, at a campaign event clinton short-circuited -- you know this one, short-circuited again to use a term when she accidentally told the truth and taxeshe wanted to raise on the middle class. [applause] i am proposing an across-the-board income tax reduction, especially for middle americans.
12:26 pm
this will lead to millions of new and really good paying jobs. rich will pay their fair share, but no one will pay so that it destroys jobs or undermines our ability as a compete. [applause] as part of this reform, we will eliminate the carried interest induction. reduction. thank you. as part of this reform, we will carried interest , well-known deduction, and other special interest loopholes that have been so good investors andt people like me, but unfair to american workers.
12:27 pm
tax simplification will be a major feature of the plan. [applause] our current tax code is so burdensome and so complex that we waste 9 billion hours per year in tax code compliance. my plan will reduce the current number of rockets from seven to three and dramatically streamline the process. [applause] we will work with house republicans on this plan using brackets they have proposed. 12%, 25%, and 33%. for many american workers, their tax rate will be zero.
12:28 pm
[applause] while we will develop our own assumptions and policies, areas while not an all or in others, we will be goalsd on the same shared and guidance of the same shared principles, jobs, growth, and opportunity. [applause] reforms will open the revolution since the reagan tax reform, which unleashed years of continued economic growth and job creation. america grow again. [applause]
12:29 pm
in the days ahead, we will provide more details on this you,and how it will help and most importantly, your families. it will present a knife and a taxrast to the job killing raising, poverty-inducing, obama -clinton agenda. [applause] so important, the state of new already lived through leadership.led -- soshington post important, the state of new york has artie lived through hillary pledged 200,000 jobs for upstate new york when she was a senator.
12:30 pm
what happened? writes and in post quote, upstate job growth stagnated overall during her tenure with manufacturing jobs plunging to record-setting force was --y 25% nearly 25%. she was unable to pass big-ticket legislation. many promised jobs. vote for jobs, she will bring back jobs. many promised jobs never materialized and others migrated to other states. she turned her first presidential run, which also was a disaster. [applause]
12:31 pm
thank you. then it shows that upstate actually lost jobs, a lot of them, during her first term. she was all talk, no action, upstate new york, a disaster. it is a disaster, what's happened to new york. reason. a big compare that to my record. in a recent new york post article, how donald trump helped save new york city. the paper writes that i, and this is a direct quote, in other words, not from me.
12:32 pm
[booing] [applause] thank you. all very well planned out. [applause] quote. a direct anald trump waded into landscape of empty 5th avenue. balls, central park so dangerous and a wall street area seemingly on its last legs as companies moved out.
12:33 pm
then, almost by sheer force of rescue, rode to the expressing rare faith in the future. he was instrumental in kickstarting the regeneration of neighborhoods and landmarks, almost given up on for dead. i did not say it, they said it. this is what i want to do. remember, new york city was a disaster. we made it great. this is what i want to do. thank you. this is what i want to do for our country. america, andpstart
12:34 pm
it can be done, and it won't even be that hard. [applause] let's look at what the obama policies have done nationally. their policies produced 1.2% growth, the weakest recovery since the great depression. debtbling of the national during the obama years. there are now 94.3 million americans outside of the labor force. million when president obama took office, an increase of 14 million people. agenda haslinton
12:35 pm
created a silent nation of jobless americans. homeownership is at its lowest rate in 51 years. [shouting] [applause] thank you very much. i will say the bernie sanders people had far more energy and spirit. [applause] nearly 12 million people have been added to the food stamps
12:36 pm
and these people are growing and growing so rapidly. since president obama took office. another nearly 7 million people, great americans are right now living in poverty. forcee the lowest labor participation rates in four decades. 58% of the african-american youth are either outside of the labor force or not employed. one in five american households do not have a single member in the labor force, not a single member of the household. are real under -- unemployment numbers. the 5% figures is one of the biggest hoaxes and american modern politics -- in american
Check
12:37 pm
modern politics. [applause] meanwhile, american households lessarning more than $4000 today than they were 16 years ago. the average worker today pays 31.5% of their wages to income and payroll taxes. on top of that, state and local taxes consume another 10%. a very grim picture. the united states also has the highest business tax rate among the major industrialized nations of the world, at 35%. almost 40%. [shouting]
12:38 pm
[applause] it's almost 40% when you add in taxes at the state level and in many cases and many states, it is higher than that. in other words, we punish companies for making products in america, but let them ship products into the united states tax-free if they move overseas. this is backwards. all of our policies should be geared toward keeping jobs and wealth inside of the united states. [applause] under my plan, no american
12:39 pm
company will pay more than 15% of their business income in taxes. [applause] in other words, we are reducing the taxes from 35% to 15%. thank you. small businesses will benefit the most from this plan. hillary clinton's plan will require small business to pay as much as three times more taxes than what i am proposing. her regulations will put them totally out of business, and you won't be able to start. you cannot ever start a small business under the tremendous
12:40 pm
regulatory burden that you have today in our country. we are going to end it. cut regulations massively. [applause] alsoower business tax will end job killing corporate inversions and cause trillions in new dollars and wealth to come pouring into our country. by the way, into cities like right here in detroit. [applause] to help unleash this new job creation, we will allow businesses to immediately expense new business investment. no one will gain more from these proposals than low and middle income americans.
12:41 pm
[applause] reduce thel also cost of childcare by allowing parents to fully deduct the average cost of childcare spending from their taxes. [applause] we are also going to bring back trillions of dollars from american businesses that are now parked overseas. they can bring their money back into our country. bring that cash home, applying only a 10% tax. this money will be reinvested in states like michigan. [applause] family will have to pay the death tax.
12:42 pm
american workers -- [applause] workers have pay taxes their whole lives and they -- it ist be taxed just plain wrong and most people agree with that. we will repeal it. next comes regulatory reform. as with taxes, i will have one overriding goal when it comes to regulation. wealthjobs, and i want to stay in america. motor vehicle manufacturing is one of the most heavily regulated industries in the country and even in the world. is 25%. economy today
12:43 pm
smaller than it would have been without the surge of regulations since 1980. it is estimated that current overregulation is costing our economy as much as $2 trillion a year. that is money taken straight out of cities like detroit. so many of our cities are suffering so gravely, right out of detroit and others. the federal register is now over 80,000 pages long. at the wall street journal noted, president obama has issued close to 400 new major ,egulations since taking office each with a cost to the american economy of $100 million or more. alone, the obama
12:44 pm
administration unilaterally issued more than 2000 new regulations, each a hidden tax on american consumers and a massive lead weight on the american economy. anchorime to remove the dragging us down, and that is what it is doing. it is dragging us down. [applause] upon taking office, i will issue a temporary moratorium on new agency regulations. [applause] pence, ag mate, mike great guy, signed -- [applause] signed a similar order when a -- when he worked so hard in indiana as its governor. this will give our american
12:45 pm
companies the certainty they our to reinvest in communities, get cash off of the sidelines and start hiring, new jobs and expanding their businesses. that is what it's about. i will also immediately cancel all illegal and overreaching executive orders. [applause] next, i will ask each and every federal agency to prepare a list of all of the regulations they impose on americans which are not necessary, do not improve public safety, and which needlessly kill many jobs. those regulations will be eliminated quickly.
12:46 pm
[applause] we are in a competition with the world, and i want america to win. [applause] anymore, but when i am president, we will start winning again, big-league. [applause] one of the most important reforms of all is trade reform. as bernie sanders has said, hillary clinton has bad judgment. we have seen this bad judgment overseas, in libya, iraq and syria. iran, we havet in seen it from president obama when he gives $150 billion to iran, the number one terrorist state and even gives them $400
12:47 pm
million in money laundered cash as a ransom payment. we have also seen the terrible obama, clinton judgment, right here for everybody to see in detroit. hillary clinton has supported the trade deals, stripping this city and this country of its jobs and it's well. she supported bill clinton's nafta. she supported china's entrance into the world trade organization. she supported job killing trade deals, and that was a really bad one, with south korea and she supports the transpacific partnership. not now, but very soon, if she wins. that will be a disaster for detroit and everybody else. [applause] korea,alk about south
12:48 pm
because it is perfectly illustrating the broken promises that have hurt so many american workers. and the usuala so-called experts who have been wrong about every trade deal for decades predicted that the trade deal with south korea would increase our exports to south korea by more than $10 billion, resulting in 70,000 jobs. like clinton's broken promises to new york, these pledges all turned out to be false. instead of creating 70,000 jobs, it has killed nearly 100,000 jobs according to the economic policy institute. our exports to south korea have not increased at all, but their imports to us have surged more than $15 billion, more than
12:49 pm
doubling our trade deficit with that country. what else is new? it is happening with everyone. the next the trail will be the transpacific partnership. hillary clinton's closest friend confirmed what i have been saying, and this is from the beginning. if sent to the oval office, she will enact the tpp as sure as you are sitting there. her donors will make sure a vote for hillary clinton is a vote for the tpp, and it is also a vote for nafta. our annual trade deficit in goods with mexico has risen from close to zero, think of that, close to zero in 1993 to almost $60 billion today. our total trade deficit in goods hit nearly $800 billion last
12:50 pm
year. almost $800 billion. this is a strike at the heart of michigan and our nation as a whole. according to the bureau of labor statistics, before nafta went into effect, there were 285,000 autoworkers in michigan. today, that number is only 160,000 autoworkers. detroit is still waiting for hillary clinton's apology. she has been a disaster. obama has been a disaster. i expect detroit will get that apology right around the same time hillary clinton turns over the 33,000 e-mails she deleted. [applause] hillary clinton's transpacific
12:51 pm
partnership will be an even bigger disaster for the auto industry and even worse than nafta. ford motor company has announced its opposition to the deal. according to the economic policy institute, the u.s. trade deficit with the proposed tpp member, all the member countries, cost is over one million manufacturing jobs in the year 2015. by far, the biggest losses occurred in motor vehicles and parts, which lost nearly 700 -- 740,000 manufacturing jobs. what are we doing? michigan ranks first for jobs of trade share workforce due to the deficit with tpp members. imagine how many more automobile jobs will be lost if the tpp is
12:52 pm
actually approved. it will be catastrophic. that is why i have announced we will withdraw from the deal before that can ever happen. [applause] clinton will never withdraw from tpp. she is bought, controlled and pay for -- paid for by her donors and special interests. [applause] because my only interest is the american people, i have previously laid out and detailed a seven point plan available on my website. it includes strong protections ,gainst currency manipulation tariffs against any countries
12:53 pm
that cheat by unfairly subsidizing their goods, and it includes a total renegotiation of nafta, which is a disaster for our country, a total renegotiation. [applause] if we don't get a better deal, we will walk away. at the center of my plan is trade enforcement with china. this alone could return millions of jobs to our country. china is responsible for nearly half of our entire trade deficit. they break the rules in every way imaginable, including militarily. china engages in illegal exports , subsidies, prohibited currency manipulation and rampant that of
12:54 pm
intellectual property. it is out of control. they also have no real environmental or labor protections, further undercutting american workers. just enforcing intellectual property rules alone could save millions and millions of american jobs. [applause] according to the u.s. international trade commission, improved protection of america's intellectual property in china would produce more than 2 million more jobs right here, right now in the united states. [applause] add that to the same jobs protected from enforcing --
12:55 pm
cracking down on cheating and currency dumping and we will bring new wages back to our country, the united states of america. thank you. [cheering and applause] so simple. trade has big benefits. thank you. benefits, and i am , but i wanttrade trade deals for our country that create more jobs and higher wages for american workers. isolation is not an option. [shouting]
12:56 pm
thank you. [applause] isolation is not an option. holy great and well-crafted trade deals -- only great and well-crafted trade deals where we are once benefit instead of being taken advantage of. to benefit, and our workers are going to benefit or we will not make those deals. also critical to our economic renewal will be energy reform. obama/clinton administration has blocked and destroyed millions of jobs through their anti-energy regulations while raising the price of electricity for both families and businesses. as a result of recent obama epa actions, coal fired plants across michigan have either shut down entirely or undergone
12:57 pm
expensive conversions, making them noncompetitive. the obama/clinton war on coal has cost michigan over 50,000 jobs. hillary clinton says the plan will put a lot of coal companies and coal miners out of business. we will put our coal miners and our steelworkers back to work, where they want to be. [applause] clinton not only embraces president obama's job killing energy restrictions, but wants to expand them, including going after oil and natural gas production that employs some 10 million americans. according to the heritage foundation, by 2030, the obama/clinton energy restrictions will eliminate another half a million manufacturing jobs, reduce
12:58 pm
trillionoutput by $2.5 and reduce income by $7,000 per person. a trump administration will end this war on the american worker and unleash an energy revolution that will bring fast new wealth to our country. according to the institute for energy research, lifting the restrictions on all sources of american energy will do the following. than $100dp by more billion annually. add over 500,000 new jobs annually and increase annual wages by more than $30 billion over the next seven years. [applause]
12:59 pm
additionally, it will increase federal, state and local tax revenue by almost $6 trillion over four decades. activitytotal economic by more than $20 trillion over the next 40 years. the reforms i have outlined today are only the beginning. trade, reformed our tax, energy and regulatory policies, we will open a new chapter in is soan prosperity, which desperately needed. we need a new chapter. we can use this new wealth to rebuild our military which is desperately needed and our infrastructure. as part of this new future, we will also be rolling out proposals to increase choice and reduce cost in childcare, offering much-needed relief to
1:00 pm
american families. they are suffering. we are going to get them as much needed relief. i will unveil -- thank you. i will unveil my plan on this in the coming weeks that i have been working on with my daughter, who is here. [cheering and applause] stand up. she feels so strongly about this. an incredible team of experts. likewise, our education reforms will help parents send their kids to a school of the work -- of their choice. it will be so good for detroit. we will also give our police and law enforcement the funds in support they need to restore law and order to this country.
1:01 pm
[applause and cheering] thank you. without -- without security, there can be no prosperity. [shouting] [cheering] security, there can be no prosperity. we must have law and order. we must have law and order. [applause and cheering] way, our police in this
Check
1:02 pm
country are really unrecognized for the incredible job that they do. thank you. [applause] in the coming days, we will be rolling out plans on all of these items. one of my first acts as president will be to repeal and replace disaster is obamacare, saving another 200 million american jobs. [cheering and applause] we will also rebuild our military and get our allies to pay their fair share for the protection we provide to them, saving us countless more billions of dollars to invest in
1:03 pm
our own country. [applause] we also have a plan on our website for complete reform of the veterans administration. [applause] something so desperately needed, to make sure our that's and getare supported the care they deserve, which they have not been getting, not even close. [applause] city, wille motor come roaring back. [cheering and applause] offer a new future, not this same old failed policies of the past. our party has chosen to make new
1:04 pm
history by selecting a nominee from the outside, and that is outside of the very, already proven rigged system. the other party has reached backward into the past to choose a nominee from yesterday who offers only the rhetoric of yesterday and the policies of yesterday. take a look at what happened to new york state manufacturing and take a look at her promises before this happened. there will be no change under hillary clinton, only four more years of weakness and president obama. we are going to look boldly into the future. we will build the next generation of roads, bridges,
1:05 pm
railways, titles, seaports and airports. that is what our country deserves. american cars will travel the roads. american planes will connect our cities. american ships will patrol the seas. [applause] will send new skyscrapers soaring all over our country. we will put new, american metal into the spine of this nation. [applause] it will be american hands that rebuild this country, and it will be american energy mind
1:06 pm
from american sources that powers this country. be american workers who are hired to do the job. americanism, not globalism, will be our new credo. reach amazingll new heights, maybe heights never obtained before. all we have to do is stop relying on the tired voices of the past. system by a rigged relying on the people and just remember, this is so important, we are reliant on people.
1:07 pm
