in many ways, 2020 has been a difficult year. this weekend we saw again how difficult the job of law enforcement can be. today, you need to keep two sheriffs deputies in los angeles county in your thoughts as they onover from a difficult act law enforcement in los angeles. the men and women of law enforcement wake up everyday not what it will bring, but they know they will answer it. [applause] i was on the ground in kenosha as law-enforcement was working to restore public safety to our community. i spoke to people who were petrified.

they were scared for personal safety, scared for their family, concerned [indiscernible] they were scared for their city. it was heartbreaking to walk the streets of kenosha and [indiscernible] week,sday morning of that i called the president to get kenosha help is needed. he answered my call and president trump delivered resources to the city of kenosha [indiscernible] [applause] those law-enforcement agents worked hand-in-hand with local law enforcement to restore public safety to kenosha. i can tell you, we are on the road to recovery, we are healing, we are uniting, and kenosha is rebuilding and will be stronger than ever before.

many law enforcement here today [indiscernible] departmentlle police , rock county sheriff's deputies. when neighboring communities need assistance, they answer the call. members of the sheriff's department assisted local law enforcement in kenosha during the recent violence and unrest. when i met with local law enforcement, i heard their stories. i spoke with a rock county sheriff's deputy who showed me a brick that had-- been thrown at one of our rock county sheriff's deputies. i asked the president when i talk to him on the phone to come to kenosha and personally thank the men and women of law enforcement firsthand. as i stood next to the president and kenosha, the look in their eyes as the president said thank you was a sight to see.

president trump, vice president pence, and i oppose defunding police and back the badge. [applause] and as a way to say thanks, i ask you to join me in giving around of applause for all of our local law enforcement officers. janesville to kenosha and across our state. [applause] thank you for what you all do. today, i am proud to have the vice president in wisconsin once again. we are 50 days away from the election, and on november 3, we have a choice. a choice that will take our country down one of two paths. a choice as to who is best to rebuild united states economy.

a choice as to who will keep our communities safe. to me, the choice is clear. president trump and vice president pence are fighting for wisconsin families and workers. [applause] we are fighting to get workers back to work, fighting to protect our health, fighting to keep america safe. fighting because we know this is a country worth fighting for because our better days are ahead. [applause] vice president mike pence may be frequent, but his visits to wisconsin have got me thinking he has some better pride. pride.er [applause] not only does he visit wisconsin, he listens to us.

he understands the importance of ensuring that every wisconsin worker who wants a job can find a job. he knows that trade deals like usmca are good for wisconsin workers and farmers, and vice president pence stands with the men and women of law enforcement. [applause] proud to welcome vice president mike pence to wisconsin. please join me in giving a warm wisconsin welcome to our vice president, mike pence. ♪ there she stood in the street smiling from her head to her

wisconsin,s, here in you believe we could be strong again. you believe we could be prosperous again. you believe america could be respected again. you said yes to president donald trump in 2016 and i know in 50 days from today, wisconsin is going to say yes to four more years of president donald trump in 20. [applause] [chanting] four more years! vice pres. pence: and the road to victory runs right through wisconsin. [applause] look how far we've come because of the confidence you've placed in this president and our team. four years ago we inherited a military hollowed out by devastating budget cuts, and

economy struggling to break out of the slowest recovery since the great depression. terrorism was on the rise around the world and we witnessed a steady assault on our most cherished values and liberties. in three short years, we rebuilt our military. [applause] we revived our economy, cut taxes, rollback redtape, unleashed american energy, fought for free and fair trade and the american economy came roaring back in those first three years. wow. and this president kept his promise. we have appointed more than 200 judges to our federal courts at every level and i am here to tell you, they are all principled conservatives who will support the god-given liberties enshrined in our constitution. like the freedom of religion, the freedom of speech and the second amendment right to keep and bear arms. [applause]

beyond all of those high ideals, i cannot be more proud to serve as vice president to a president who have stood without apology for the sanctity of human life. [applause] under president trump's leadership, we have stood for security, stood for our liberties, stood for prosperity, and our highest values. president donald trump has stood every day with the men and women who serve in law enforcement and we will stand with them for four

more years. [applause] you know, the president and i know that the men and women who serve in law enforcement are some of the best people in this country. they literally put their lives on the line every day. they count our lives more important than their own. lawe who serve in enforcement deserve the respect of every american every day. [applause] tragically this weekend, we all witnessed another round of attacks on those who wear the uniform. sheriffs deputies in los angeles were literally shot in cold load while -- cold blood while some stood on the street corner and left.

-- laughed. gatheredld protesters outside the hospital and chanted we hope they die. one of the sheriffs deputies is the mother of a six-year-old. the other is just 24 years old. they were both on the job for less than a year. i want to tell them and their families and all those who love and cherish law enforcement that we are so glad to hear they are on the road to recovery. they will remain in our hearts and our prayers. [applause] you, the tell president and i will also support the right of americans to peaceful protest, rioting and looting is not peaceful protest, burning businesses is not free speech, bringing violence against innocent surveillance -- and civilians or law enforcement must stop and it must stop now.

[applause] those who do such things will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. [applause] you've seen this president leadership up close not far from here. brokeioting and looting out in kenosha, wisconsin, president trump sent into hundred federal law enforcement officers, worked with your state and local law enforcement and ended the violence. , over the last month, we launch what is called operation legend. literally we have deployed over 1000 federal enforcement -- that have been seeing violent protests, and as we stand here

today, working with state and local law enforcement officials, i am proud to report, they have made over 2000 arrests of violent protesters all across the country. we are going to have law & order in every city, in every state of this country, for every american of every race and creed and color, so help us, god. [usa! usa!] months, all joe biden ever talked about was peaceful protest. businesses inatch our cities burn. two weeks ago, he did condemn violence in every form it takes, but right after that, he criticized law enforcement.

and joe biden has never called out his campaign staff or running mate for raising bail for violent criminals, and he still has not called for mayors to get their cities under control. the fact is, joe biden will double down on all of the policies that have led to violence in our cities. a lack when you signal of support or waning support for law enforcement, it in bold and those. it emboldens those who threaten our families and our cities, so let me be clear. we are going to stand with the men and women who serve on the thin blue line of law enforcement, whether it is los angeles or kenosha or rochester. we are going to back the blue. joe biden says that america is systemically racist. and that law enforcement in his words, as i quote, has implicit

bias against minorities. when asked whether he would support cutting funding to law enforcement, joe biden actually ," butd, "yes, absolutely under this president and this vice president and this administration, i will make you a promise. we are not going to defund the police, not now, not ever. president trump and i know what the people of wisconsin know. we do not need to choose between supporting law enforcement and standing with our african-american neighbors or any of the minorities that live in our cities. to improve the quality of their lives, their education, their jobs, and their security, from the first day of this administration, we have stood

with law enforcement. we have expanded opportunities for african-americans. we have done both for 3.5 years, and we will do them both for four more years in the white house. [applause] years, wee short rebuild our military. we revived our economy. we stood for law and order. youthe results, i can tell having traveled to 30 countries around the world, america is standing tall again. we have a president who embraces his role as leader of the free world. we have a president who does not apologize for america. he stands for america. and america is respected again. our liberties are more secure, and in those first three years, it has also been about jobs,

jobs, jobs. it is amazing to think after we cut taxes, rolled back regulation, unleashed american energy, and negotiated better trade deals, businesses large and small created more than 7 million good paying jobs all across the country, and wages rose at their fastest pace in more than 10 years, and what meant the most to the president and me was wages rose the most dramatically for hard-working, blue-collar americans, the forgotten men and women of america. they were forgotten new more. and we created the greatest economy in the world. at the end of those first three years, there were more americans working than ever before. in three short years, we made america great again. we did. [applause]

coronavirus struck from china. and the people of wisconsin deserve to know that before the very first documented case of community transmission within our country, president trump did what no other american president had ever done. all travel from china. he put the health of america first. biden called that xenophobic. tell youruth is, i can firsthand, having led the white house coronavirus task force, that action alone saved untold american lives, and it bought us in valuable time to stand up the greatest national mobilization since world war ii. at the president's direction, we marshaled not only the full resources of the federal government but the full potential of the american

economy. we reinvented testing. we literally have done more testing than any nation in the world by a factor of five. we are doing 800,000 tests a day. we saw the delivery and manufacture of billions of medical supplies to our doctors and nurses and hospitals, and no american who required a ventilator was ever denied a ventilator in the united states of america. now, our hearts go out to all of the families that have lost loved ones in the course of this pandemic, and there is not a day on by that those families have not been in our thoughts and prayers, including the more than 1000 families here in the state of wisconsin. and i am proud to report to you that every single day, we are developing new medicines that are saving lives across the country. remdesivir, plasma, the development of therapeutics, and even though joe biden said, and i quote, "no miracle is

coming," we are on track to have the first coronavirus vaccine before the end of this year. america is in the miracle business. , because of what we have all done together as a nation because of this presidents president's-- this leadership, we are slowing the spread, protecting lives, and developing lifesaving medicines. in the midst of this pandemic, the president has heard from leaders in congress, and we secured more than $4 trillion in support, direct aid, to american families and a paycheck protection program that saved 50 million american jobs. to, we are going to continue put the health of america first because of the strong foundation that we poured in those first three years, and with the unprecedented aid that we were

able to provide to families and businesses large and small, after losing 22 million jobs at the height of this pandemic, we have seen 10.6 million americans already go back to work, including 200 thousand people right here in wisconsin. [applause] we are opening up america again. are opening up america's schools. we are going to get there, wisconsin. we are going to get there together, and i want to commend each and every one of you for the role that you play in these challenging times. we have gone through a time of testing, but as i like to say, we are soon coming to a time of choosing.

50 days from today, the american people have a choice to make. as president trump said in michigan a few days ago, and i quote, never before has there two a clearer division, philosophies, two agendas for the parties. joe biden has put forward the most extreme platform in history . in the middle of a pandemic, joe biden would like to raise taxes by $4 billion. taxesresident, we cut across the board for working families, and we are going to keep cutting taxes for four more years. joe biden once to bury our economy under an avalanche of redtape, like his own version of the green new deal -- joe biden bury our economy. the only thing green is how much green it is going to cost us if

they ever signed it into law. this president, he actually sighed more laws cutting federal redtape than any president in american history already, and we are going to keep chopping redtape to create jobs for more years to come. you know, when we took office, china was literally half of our international trade deficit. $500 billion a year. going to china in the trade deficit. incredible. president trump made it clear that the era of economic surrender was over. joe biden, he has been a cheerleader for communist china throughout his career. he actually wants repeal all of the tariffs that are leveling the playing field today for american workers. i will make you a promise.

president trump has not just stood up to china. we will keep standing up to china until they open their markets and put american workers on a level playing field. because when american workers are on a level playing field, we can win anywhere in the world. it is true. but it was not just our relationship with china. you know, joe biden was one of those folks who voted for nafta. i do not have to tell neighbors here across the heartland of the impact nafta had. thousands of factories closed in the years since nafta was signed into law, and when joe biden was vice president, they did nothing to fix it, nothing to take out the incentives that existed in nafta to move jobs south of our border. but thanks to president trump's history,p, nafta is and the usmca is here to stay.

no.you all in wisconsin u.s.-mexico-canada agreement, canada is ending the unfair treatment of dairy farmers, and we are actually expected to increase our dairy exports from here in wisconsin and all across the country by $300 million the year. that is a lot of milk. [applause] and it is not just milk. is expected to create 600,000 new jobs, including 50,000 manufacturing jobs. i have got to tell you. it is just amazing. remember the last administration? you had a president in the summer of 2016 who was asked about manufacturing jobs being lost in places like wisconsin and indiana and michigan, and he said they were never coming

back. remember? he said, "what magic wand do you have"? we did not need a magic wand. we just needed president donald trump in the white house. 500,000 manufacturing jobs in our first three years. that is all you need. you know, when it comes to trade, when it comes to taxes, regulation, you have a president who will always put american jobs and american workers first, and where joe biden and the radical left want to crush american energy and be part of what is fueling this american comeback today, it is low cost energy, for families and businesses, and joe biden wants to raise the cost of electricity for every household and business

in wisconsin. this president, he unleashed american energy, and believe it or not, we are now a net exporter in energy for the first time in 70 years. low-cost energy and energy independence. that is the leadership of president donald trump. and there is a choice. the choice is clear, whether it is security and prosperity, but it is also a choice when it comes to values, and this president from very early on has stood strong for our most cherished values, and president donald trump and our administration has stood for the religious freedom of every american of every faith, and we always will. [applause]

you know, the freedom of religion has been called our first freedom, and even a casual study of the american founding will demonstrate to you that people came to this country early on for many reasons, but chief among them was the freedom of religion. and that is why this president took such strong steps early on. he is the first president in american history to actually convene an international liberty,e on religious not once but twice. he spoke at the united nations about our commitment to the freedom of religion. he ended the enforcement of the johnson amendment so that pulpits around the country could be free to speak once again. and president donald trump ended

the assault on the little sisters of the poor, and this year, the supreme court made progress. i mean, why that even had to happen, i don't know. i do not get it. you know, i was an altar boy. i grew up in a wonderful, catholic family. you have got a group of nuns who take a pledge of poverty and spend their entire lives helping the poor, but when joe biden was vice president, they became a target of the administration, a target of obamacare mandates, and believe it or not, after the supreme court by a 7-2 vote, said that president trump was right when we ended the assault on the little sisters of the poor, joe biden actually said they are going to take it up again to impose those obamacare mandates back on the little sisters of the poor, but we are

not going to let it happen. to reelectare going president donald trump for four more years. [applause] years!] more and it is notce: just about our religious issues but items near and dear. in joe biden, you have a candidate actually supports taxpayer-funded abortion all of the way up to the moment of birth. it is extraordinary. throughout his career, joe biden was one of those democrats who said he supported abortion rights, but he always voted for what is known as the hyde amendment, which prevented the use of taxpayer dollars for abortion, but last year, joe

biden abandoned that, and now, he supports taxpayer funding of abortion, and i could not be more proud to serve alongside a president who stands for the right to life. and we always will. you know, joe biden is actually calling for historic increases in funding for the largest abortion provider in the country, planned parenthood. i have got to tell you. it was my privilege, my privilege as president of the senate, to cast the tie-breaking vote that would allow it across america to defund planned parenthood, and president donald trump signed it into law. [applause]

you know, when you look at their agenda in detail, which they did not talk much about at their national convention, did you notice that? if you look at it in detail, i would not want to talk about it either, but men and women across wisconsin, we have to talk about it over the next 50 days, and the truth is, when you look at that agenda, you will see that joe biden will be nothing more than a trojan horse for the radical left. the choice of the selection has never been clearer. the stakes have never been higher. joe biden said in his convention that the micro c was on the ballot. economichink our recovery is on the ballot. law and order are on the ballot. i also believe there are things more foundational to our country that are on the ballot, too. i have said it before. i will say it again.

in this election, i think 50 days from now, it is not going to be so much whether americans are more conservative or more liberal, more republican or more democrat, more red or more blue. i think the choice in this election is whether america remains america. so we have got to decide right here and right now that we are going to fight to leave our children and grandchildren a country grounded in our highest ideals. free markets, the inalienable right to life and liberty. [applause] i mean, we stand. we stand at a crossroads. real sense.-- very

you know, my wife loves poetry. robert frost is her favorite poet. mosthe poem she likes the is the one that talks about two roads diverged in a woods, and it says "two roads diverged in the woods, and i took the road , and it hasd by made all of the difference." the american people have always taken the road less traveled by through more freedom, more personal responsibility, boundless opportunity, and we have got to make sure in 50 days that we choose that again. decide right here and right now that joe biden will never be president of the united states. we are going to reelect

president donald trump for four more years. the stakes are that high, and the opportunity is that great. the president was talking about all of our plans at our national convention, and just a couple of days ago in michigan. you know, four more years means more jobs. a four more years means more judges. if you are more years means more support for our police --four more years means more support for our police, more support for our troops, and it is going to take at least four more years to drain that swap. so it is on, wisconsin. 50 days and counting.

it really is great being with all of you. thank you for coming out. thank you for coming out on a monday morning. and while i have got you, can i just say thank you for the privilege of serving as your vice president. it is the greatest honor of my life. [applause] but now, we have work to do. now we have work to do. because i want to be your vice president for a few are more years. more years. you know, it was interesting.

a little more than four years ago, i had only met our president a couple of times. it is true. we did not know each other very well before he called me to ask me to join his ticket. and we have gotten to be very close over the last four years. and some people think we are kind of different. [laughter] but i have got to tell you. i have to tell you, seeing him when the cameras are off, i tell you, straight from my heart, president donald trump has never stopped fighting to keep promises that he made to the people of wisconsin. ,e has bought for you every day and now, it is our turn to fight for him. i encourage you. i have got a plane to catch.

i am actually going to montana today. sadly, there is not a horse in my future. but it really has been great being with you today. i would encourage you to get out and tell the story. in gainesville the other day, i janesville,e -- in i ran into mike, early on a monday morning. that guy seems so fired up for america, and he said we are just getting started, and that is why we need four more years of donald trump in the white house. tell your neighbors and friends. do, and when you do, when you get out there and talk to your neighbors and friends at work and worship justs the backyard fence, watch and say, i went to get out there. let's go. yes. thank you. thank you. yes, she said where your heart

on your sleeve. your heart on your sleeve. and see what the president has done for this country. that is a beautiful line. just tell them what we have done. tell them what the stakes are. tell them what the stakes are. the choice has never been clearer, and the stakes have never been higher. and when you go out, just have faith. has faith in your neighbors and friends to be able to see through the onslaught of constant attacks that come from the other side and their allies in the media, to see through to know everything this president has done for this country, and everything we have yet to do. people saw american through it in 2016, and i know they are going to see through it on november 3, 2020. and lastly, i would encourage you to have that other kind of faith, too. you know, it seems like if you

turn on the television these days, there is more that divides us in these united states than ever before. that will always believe there has always been more that unites us across this country than could ever divide us, and chief among those things is our faith. this is a nation of faith. say if you are inclined like the pences to bow the head and bend the knee, i would encourage you to do that, too, over the next 50 days, and on this one, i am not so much asking you to pray for a candidate or a cause as much as just pray for our country. pray for all of the american people. because i will always believe those ancient words that if his people who are called by his name will humble themselves and

pray, he will do like he has , through much more challenging times that we face today. hear from him, and he will heal this land. this one nation, under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. america. and if you all do that, i know that with your continued support, with your voice -- she said it. wear thathat passion, red hat for all we have done on your sleeve, between now and november 3, we will lead an american comeback. we will make wisconsin more prosperous than ever before. we will make it safer and more

secure than ever before, and with president donald trump in the white house for a few are more years and congressman brian style with a new republican majority in the congress of the united states, and with gods help, we will make america great again again. thank you very much. god bless you. god bless america.
