4:44 am
michigan. it's a great crowd. thank you all for coming out tonight. our state party chair, laura cox. all the wonderful michiganders who are gathered here from near and far. it is great to be back in the wolverine state. [applause] we are just six days away from a great victory all across michigan and all across america, when we vote four more years of president donald trump in the white house. >> four more years!
4:45 am
four more years! vice pres. pence: and the road to victory goes right through michigan. on november 3, i got a favor to ask. we need you to show them that michigan is trump country. [applause] it really is great to be here with all of you. thank you so much for coming out. i can't tell you how much it means to us. it really does. president's in arizona today. but i can't wait to tell him about this crowd in flint, michigan. it's great to be here with so many friends, but also with a son of midland, a man who served the people of the wolverine state in the michigan state house. but the moment he arrived in washington, d.c., i can tell you he has emerged as one of the strongest advocates not just for michigan, but for everything that has always made america great. join me in thanking congressman john moolenaar. [applause]
4:46 am
thank you, congressman. it is also great to be here with, i am told, a lifelong democrat who is a leader here in flint. we got some good news again that he is supporting president donald trump for four more years. join me in thanking maurice davis, vice president of the city council in flint. where are you? let's hear it for maurice. [applause] i am partial to vice presidents. thank you, maurice, thank you so much. thank you all for being here today. it really is amazing to think about all we have accomplished. >> we love you, mike.
4:47 am
vice pres. pence: i love you. four years ago we inherited a military that was hollowed out by devastating budget cuts, an economy that was 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. in three short years, we rebuilt our military. we revived our economy. we secured our border, supported law enforcement, and stood for life and liberty and the constitution of the united states. i mean, four years ago here in michigan, you believed we could be strong again. you believed we could be prosperous again. you said yes to president donald trump in 2016, and i am here because we need michigan to say yes to four more years of president donald trump in 2020. >> four more years!
4:48 am
four more years! four more years! vice pres. pence: think how far we have come because of the confidence the people of michigan placed in this president. it all starts with our national defense, always. it is the first obligation of the national government, to provide for the common defense. under the last administration when joe biden was vice president, we saw years of reckless budget cuts that hollowed out our military. there is reports in the news even today that democrats in the house and senate are promising to make massive cuts in defense spending to fuel their big government plans. it's incredible. but i am proud to report to you, as your vice president, but as the proud father of a united states marine -- [cheers] that we are finally giving our
4:49 am
soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and coast guard the resources and support they need to defend this nation. president donald trump has signed the largest increase in our national defense since the days of ronald reagan. but you know, it has not just been about supporting those who serve and their families. it has also been about standing with all the courageous men and women that put on the uniform of the united states. in fact, i expect, knowing what a great patriotic state this is, if you wore the uniform of our armed forces, put your hand in the air and let me say thank you one more time for your service. thank you for your service to this country. [applause] god bless you all. you all remember, especially our veterans, when joe biden was vice president, we saw years of scandal at the v.a. that shocked the conscience of our nation.
4:50 am
we literally had veterans dying waiting to get care at v.a. hospitals. underneath president donald trump, we signed the most sweeping reforms at the v.a. in 50 years. he fired 3000 employees that were not giving veterans the care you earned in uniform, and veterans choice is now available for every veteran in america.
4:51 am
support for our national defense, support for our veterans is just one more reason why we need michigan to send a west point grad, an army combat veteran, and a man of leadership and quality to the united states senate. we need michigan to send john james to the u.s. senate. on the economy, it is amazing to think what we accomplished in those first three years. after joe biden and the last administration tried to tax and spend and regulate us back to a growing economy, president donald trump created the greatest economy in american history. it's true. in the midst of a global pandemic, joe biden wants to raise taxes by $4 trillion. he has got this $2 trillion dollar green new deal. the president had to remind him in the first presidential debate, remember? he must have forgotten he was for it. president trump, by contrast, we cut taxes across the board for working families and businesses. we rolled back more redtape than
4:52 am
any administration in history. we fought for free and fair trade, we are least american energy, and in three short years, businesses created more than 7 million good paying jobs, including 112,000 jobs right here in michigan. wages were rising across the board in those first three years. what meant the most to the president and me is wages were rising most rapidly for hard-working blue-collar americans, the forgotten men and women of america were forgotten no more. you know, when joe biden was vice president, america actually lost 200,000 manufacturing jobs. you know, i'm from just south of
4:53 am
here in the hoosier state. just like michigan -- thank you for that. we don't get that often in football season. indiana and michigan are very much alike. we do two things very well, we make things and we grow things, and we market them to the world. the last administration literally said after losing 200,000 manufacturing jobs, they said those jobs were never coming back. the elites on the east coast and left coast talked about our part of the country as the rust belt. there was a fair amount of rust on it when they were in charge. the last president said, when he was confronted with losing those manufacturing jobs, he said, what magic wand do you have? we didn't need a magic wand. we just needed president donald trump in the white house. 500,000 manufacturing jobs created in our first three
4:54 am
years, including 17,000 right here in the wolverine state. manufacturing came roaring back, it really did, with less taxes, less regulation, fighting for free and fair trade that put american jobs and workers first. not far from motor city, the automotive industry is roaring back in michigan and across america. right here general motors announced 400 jobs in oakland county. fiat chrysler is building a $1.6 billion new assembly plant that will create more than 6000 jobs in detroit.
4:55 am
maybe best of all, last year, gm announced they are investing $150 million in their assembly plant right here in flint, michigan. [applause] you know, that's all a result of cutting those taxes and rolling back redtape, but it also has a lot to do with trade. when we took office, half of our international trade deficit was with communist china. it's true. $500 billion a year we were losing in trade with china. joe biden has been a cheerleader for communist china all along the way. he said the rise of china was a positive development. he did. and he scoffed last year as a candidate at the very idea that china was competition to the united states. but president donald trump put china on notice. we said the era of economic surrender is over. we imposed tariffs on china's goods into the united states, and we are going to keep standing strong until they open
4:56 am
their markets to u.s. goods and u.s. agriculture and respect private property rights of americans. you all remember nafta, out here in the heartland. the 25 years after nafta was signed into law, we literally saw -- you have to almost check this because it doesn't even sound right -- but 60,000 factories closed in the united states, and many of those jobs went south of the border to mexico or far overseas. democrats, for years, like joe biden, loved to complain about nafta, but joe biden never lifted a finger to reform it or fix what was wrong with it. after michigan voted for the man who wrote "the art of the deal," michigan and america got a way better deal.
4:57 am
nafta is gone and the usmca is here to stay. [cheers] i mean, the truth is the usmca -- i don't know if you knew about this. i don't know if you knew about this. under nafta, it might have been unintentional. i don't even know. i was not around back then. there were these perverse incentives to move manufacturing out of the country. all auto parts and duty-free cars have to be made in north america, and 40% of the parts have to be made by workers who make the average hourly wage of workers in the united states of america. we have taken the incentive away to move jobs out of the united states. it is a win for workers and a -- workers in michigan and a win for workers all across
4:58 am
america. [applause] it is. >> "four more years!" withpres. pence: i'm her. >> "four more years!" pence: i'm not surprised a woman with the veteran sweatshirt was cheering for the usmca. it is a win for autoworkers, and you know it. you all in michigan deserve to know that kamala harris was one of only 10 senators to vote against the usmca. she and i had a little bit of a debate over in salt lake city a couple of weeks ago. [cheers and applause] thank you. i've tried to call her out on a lot of issues. the truth is, she said that she voted against 1 -- only 10
4:59 am
senators who voted against this. 90 senators in washington do not agree on anything. they did on the usmca. she was rated last year as the most liberal member of the united states senate and actually voted against the usmca because she said it did not go far enough on climate change. you all deserve to know that she put her radical, environmental agenda ahead of michigan jobs and michigan autoworkers. [booing] i promise you, under president donald trump, we are always going to put american jobs and american workers first. [cheers and applause] then you have energy to play
5:00 am
such an important role. it drives prosperity in michigan all across the heartland in this country. i know that you have heard it. joe biden and kamala harris, over the last year, have repeatedly said that they want to ban fracking and abolish fossil fuels. joe biden actually said in the presidential debate the other night -- and how good was president trump in that debate? am i right? that was a great night. 90 minutes at the end of the debate, if you're still up, and they start to talk about energy. joe biden actually said that america needs to transition from the oil industry. [booing] i mean, the president says, that is a big statement.
5:01 am
boy was it. according to a 2017 study, by a nonpolitical group, the oil and gas industry supports 160,000 jobs right here in michigan. they are talking about, whatever they are saying. honestly, joe biden says show the take. we have been showing the tape. [cheers] pretty easy to find. they are going to ban fracking and abolish fossil fuels. but president donald trump has been a champion for american energy and american energy independence. [cheers and applause] we have developed all of the resources of our land, and america is a net exporter of energy for the first time in 70 years. [cheers and applause] you know, when it comes to jobs and trade and energy, president trump will always put michigan and america first. on this economy, honestly, with
5:02 am
six days to go, many women of michigan, we have a choice to make. this state will play an outsized role in deciding this election. make no mistake about it. >> we got your back! years!re four more years! pence: here is the choice. i know that you have got my back. we have just got to make sure that michigan comes through. let me tell you something. the choice and this election is real simple. the president says it all. when you look at our agenda, less taxes, less regulation, free and fair trade, american energy independence, and you more taxes, more regulation, economic surrender on trade.
5:03 am
it is clear. this is a choice between a trump recovery and a biden depression. a non-partisan study just came out last week that said that joe biden's economic policies would cost 5 million american jobs. the average american family would lose $6,500 per year in income. in all of the six days that remain, i want you to reach out to neighbors and friends here in flint and all across the state. a want you to say, i was standing out in the cold and mike pence showed up. [cheers] he told me to ask one question. here is the question that you have got to ask. find somebody who knows you who has not made a decision yet. look at them and say, who do you really think can bring this american economy all the way back? a career politician with 47 years in washington, raising
5:04 am
taxes and stifling the economy, and waving a white flag of economic surrender on trade, or a proven job creator who will keep cutting taxes, fighting for american jobs and american workers? [applause] for a great american comeback in michigan and across this nation, we need four more years of president donald trump in the white house! [cheers and applause] >> four more years! four more years! pence: so it is about our security and about our prosperity. here at home, it is also about the rule of law. i could not be more proud to be vice president to a president who stands every day with the
5:05 am
men and women who serve on the thin blue line of law enforcement. [cheers and applause] >> blue lives matter! vice pres. pence: president trump and i know what you know. the men and women who put on the law-enforcement uniforms at this -- in this country deserve respect every day. the president and i will always support the right of peaceful protests. it is enshrined in our constitution. but rioting and looting, like we saw last night in philadelphia, is not peaceful protesting. burning businesses is not free speech. for months, remember, all summer joe biden talked about were peaceful protesters. he was never condemning people who were literally burning businesses to the ground.
5:06 am
i was in minneapolis a couple of weeks ago, and i met an incredible african-american woman named flora westbrook. flora started a little salon and -- in minneapolis 35 years ago. she built it up with her sister. she told me of the day, a couple of days after the killing of george floyd, how she saw the violent protesters coming closer and closer to her little salon. till they burned it to the ground. the truth is, joe biden would double down on the policies that have led to violence in our cities. when you refuse to condemn those that perpetrate violence against our families and communities, when you start to withdraw support from those who protect and serve, you only embolden those. -- those who are tearing our
5:07 am
communities asunder. joe biden explains it all by saying that he thinks america is systemically racist. [booing] and that he and kamala harris actually believe -- joe biden and kamala harris regularly say that they believe police have an implicit bias against minorities. [booing] if he would cut funding for law enforcement, joe biden actually said yes, absolutely. under president donald trump, i will make you a promise. we are not going to defund the police. not now, not ever. we are going to back the blue and we are going to back the blue for four more years. [cheers and applause] you know, you and i know, the president knows, we do not have to choose between supporting law enforcement and supporting our african-american neighbors and friends and other minorities and families who live in our major
5:08 am
american cities. for the last 3.5 years, we have done both. and we will keep doing both for four more years. under this president, we have funded more than 4000 new police officers the cops program. this summer, we launched operation legend and have arrested more than 2500 of violent offenders working with local law enforcement. at the very same time, i could not be more proud that under our administration, we saw the lowest unemployment ever recorded for african-americans. the highest funding for historically black colleges and universities. we supported educational choice for families and 8000 opportunity zones that are creating jobs in inner cities, including the opportunity zone right here in flint, michigan. [applause] we are going to support law
5:09 am
enforcement, we are going to support our minority communities, and we are going to have law and order in every city and every state in america, for everyone of us of every race, creed, and color, so help us god. [cheers and applause] and in support of the rule of report to all to of the great michiganders gathered here today. as we stand here today, president trump has actually appointed more than 220 conservatives to our federal court. they are all many women who will uphold the god-given liberties enshrined in our cause addition, like the freedom of religion, the freedom of speech, and the second amendment right to keep and bear arms. [cheers and applause] 220 federal judges, three
5:10 am
supreme court justices. justice neil gorsuch, justice brett kavanaugh and justice amy coney barrett. [cheers and applause] isn't she great? >> acb! acb! acb! vice pres. pence: what a brilliant jurist and incredible person who just happens to be from indiana. could not be more proud of her. we think that it is altogether fitting that she now occupies the seat of the latest justice ruth bader ginsburg. , justice ginsburg .as a trailblazer for women she was. women in the law in this country, she inspired generations of women to step forward. i know that the incredible character and life story and jurisprudence of justice amy coney barrett will inspire a new generation of young women to study the law.
5:11 am
in fact, let me just say as a point of parental pride, one of those young women is with me on this trip. she's my youngest, and she just graduated from law school, and she is a part of that rising generation of young, incredible women who is going to do great things. my daughter, audrey pence, everybody. [cheers and applause] when you think about the courts and all that we have been able to accomplish, it is then because of the strong support that we got from the people at -- of michigan. it has been because you have a president who has kept his word to uphold our court and constitution and is one more reason why we need to send john james to a renewed republican majority in the united states senate.
5:12 am
it is just that important. it is about our liberties, everybody. here in michigan, you deserve to know that when joe biden was vice president, we saw a steady assault on the religious freedoms of americans. the last administration actually hauled a group of nuns into federal court to force them to compromise their faith. and live under the mandate of obamacare. and not long ago, when justice -- judge barrett was going through her confirmation two years ago, the leading democrat on the judiciary committee expressed the same religious intolerance that we have seen from so many in their party. she said that she was concerned about judge barrett because of her devout catholic faith. she said, and i quote, "the dogma
5:13 am
within you." and hollywood elites started attacking judge barrett, and they have never stopped. well i have a message for the democrats in washington and their friends in hollywood. that dogma lives loudly in me. that dogma lives loudly in you. and the right to live and work and worship according to the dictates of our faith lives loudly in the constitution of the united states of america. [cheers and applause] under president trump, we have not only appointed many women to -- men and women to our courts who uphold our religious freedoms, but we uphold the constitutional rights of our doctors and charities, and it was president donald trump who ended the legal assault on the little sisters of the poor and the supreme court made it permanent. president donald trump has stood
5:14 am
for the freedom of religion of every american of every faith, and we are going to do it for four more years. [cheers and applause] and finally, where joe biden and kamala harris support taxpayer funding of abortion, all the way up to the moment of birth, i could not be more proud to serve alongside a president who stands without apology for the sanctity of human life. [cheers and applause] so an amazing first three years because of the support of the people in michigan and 2016. -- in 2016. we've rebuilt our military, revived our economy, super law -- stood for law and order and liberties of life. none of that would've been possible without the strong and consistent support of michigan's republican delegation in congress. i have a favor to ask.
5:15 am
right after you reelect president donald trump and send john james to the united states senate, we need you to send congressman john moolenaar to a new republican majority in the house of representatives and retire nancy pelosi once and for all. [cheers and applause] out. you know, when you look at what we were able to accomplish in those first three years, the arst few of which we had republican house and republican senate, there's only one way that you can describe it. in three short years, we made america great again. [cheers and applause] and then 2020 arrived.
5:16 am
and the coronavirus struck from china. before the very first case of community transmission anywhere in america, president trump did what no other american had done in the history of this country. he suspended all travel from china, the second largest economy in the world. president trump but the health of america first. joe biden said it was xenophobic. he literally wrote a few days before the president's action that banning travel during a global pandemic would make things worse. joe biden got it wrong and president donald trump got it right. the truth is, the president's decision at the outset saved untold american lives because it
5:17 am
toght us in valuable time stand up the greatest national mobilization since world war ii. we reinvented testing. we saw the manufacturing all across the heartland of billions of supplies of personal protective equipment and ventilators. no american who has ever required a ventilator has been denied a ventilatory. no one that ever required and icu bed was denied and icu bed. we started at record speed to develop therapeutics and medicines that are saving lives today. before the end of this year, we believe that we will have tens of millions of doses of the first coronavirus vaccine in the world. [cheers and applause] i must tell you. until that day comes that we put this pandemic in the past with a safe and effective vaccine, we are going to keep moving heaven and earth to make sure that our
5:18 am
doctors and nurses all across the country have the resources and support that they need to give anyone that has struggled in this pandemic the level of health care that we would want a family member to have. i promise you that. we are going to keep protecting the vulnerable. we are going to keep saving lives. while joe biden is talking about shutting down our country, we are opening up america again. [cheers and applause] i mean, it is amazing to think -- it is amazing to think on the foundation that the president poured the first three years, and with the unprecedented support of congressman john moolenaar, helped to provide direct payments to families and businesses to keep nearly 50 million americans on the payroll of small businesses.
5:19 am
after we lost 22 million jobs at the height of this pandemic, we have already seen 11.5 million people go back to work in the last five months, including 600,000 people right here in michigan. we are opening up america again. [cheers and applause] so we have gone through a time of testing. but i know you came out on this cold night because, you know six , days from now, we are coming to a time of choosing. the choice in this election has never been clearer. the stakes have never been higher. when you look at their agenda, higher taxes, open borders, socialized medicine, the green new deal, it is clear. [cheering] i love that guy. it is true. joe biden is just going to be a trojan horse for the radical left.
5:20 am
kamala running mate, -- harris, is more liberal than bernie sanders. joe biden says that democracy is on the ballot. well, i think our economic recovery is on the ballot. i think that law and order are on the ballot. but i also believe that there are things more foundational to our country that are on the ballots. in this election, i think that it is not going to be so much whether america ends up more democrat or republican, more liberal or more conservative, more red or more blue. i think the choice in this election is whether america remains america. [applause] it is whether we are going to chart a course for our children and our children. with a renewed commitment to freedom, patriotism, family,
5:21 am
faith, and all of the principles that have made this country great. or whether we are going to let joe biden and the radical left turn our nation toward an inevitable path of less freedom, socialism, and american decline. so for our freedom and for all of the ideals that have always made america great, michigan, we need to 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. [cheers and applause] >> four more years! four more years! four more years! four more years!
5:22 am
vice pres. pence: four years ago when the president called me and asked me to join this ticket, i said yes in a heartbeat. i knew that in the time we spent together, that he had the vision and the leadership qualities that could bring this country back and make this country great again. let me tell you something, let me tell you something. some people think that we are a little bit different. [laughter] but we have got to be very close friends. when we are at the white house, we are together for hours a day over the last 3.5 years. when we travel different places, we speak every day, just like we did this morning. let me tell you firsthand, i have seen our president when the cameras are off and the bright lights are off. i want to tell you.
5:23 am
over the last four years, there has never been a day gone by against unrelenting resistance and opposition by the democrats in washington, against unfair and unrelenting attacks by their allies in the national media, there has never been a day gone by that i have not seen this president get up and fight to keep the promises that he made to the people of michigan. now, it is our turn to fight for him. it is on, michigan. [cheers and applause] it is time. and so, i got a few things i got to ask you to do, and then i have a plane to catch. first and foremost, i already checked on the way here. early voting has already
5:24 am
started. right, john? laura? so first, on behalf of the president, i want to ask you. we need you to vote, michigan. vote to reelect president donald trump to the white house. [cheers and applause] you need to take advantage of that early voting. my wife and i just voted in indianapolis a couple of days ago. the president did down in florida. you need to go get it done. you can vote absentee, i am told. i checked. city clerk's office. 1101 south saginaw street. open 8:00 to 5:00. suite 201 c. remember, friends do not let friends vote alone. bring a neighbor. bring a family member. bring a friend and vote to
5:25 am
reelect president donald trump to the white house. [cheers and applause] just get it done. just get it done, tomorrow. first thing. secondly, secondly, after you vote, with a friend, i want you to go tell somebody. all that we have accomplished under this president's leadership, and the choice that we face in this election, i mean i really believe with all of my heart, that this is one of the most important elections ever in the life of this nation. it really is a moment where we are going to decide for children -- our children and our grandchildren, not just to will be in the white house for the next four years, but what kind of nation they are going to live in.
5:26 am
you know the president and i were on "60 minutes" the other night. there was a moment, i have to tell you, that i just really enjoyed. it was when the reporter looked at the president and she asked him, how would you describe your supporters? the president, without a moment's hesitation, gave an answer that i will never forget. she said, how would you describe your supporters? and he said, they are people who love our country. so go tell your neighbors and friends that we have a president who loves this country. and who is going to continue to fight to put america first. just go tell them. >> usa!
5:27 am
usa! usa! usa! usa! usa! vice pres. pence: i ask you to do that because i really do believe that the history making election in 2016 here in michigan and all across the country, it was proof positive that the most powerful media in this country is not your television networks, not your newspapers, and not your social media. the most powerful media in this country is word of mouth. it is when the american people are talking to each other, and when someone who knows you and respects you hears from you, about an issue that is important, i'm saying to you on behalf of laura cox and the
5:28 am
congressman and the president and myself, take some time to reach out to your neighbors and friends. mike atm, i ran into the airport and he talked for like an hour, trying to summarize everything that we have done. the choice that we face, and what we are going to do to make this country great ident for four more years with president donald trump in the white house. you go tell them. lastly, in these challenging times in which we live, if you are of a mind to pull from the wellspring of strength that has always seen our nation through much more difficult times, i would encourage you to do that too. i've traveled around this country over the last four years, and there are two things i am convinced of.
5:29 am
this is a freedom loving nation. this is a nation of faith. [applause] everywhere the president and i go, it is without fail, people reach across the line and lower their voice a little bit and say, i am praying for you. and we hear all the time. -- we hear it all the time. if you're inclined to bow the head and bend the knee from time to time, the last thing that i would ask you to do is, just consider doing that in the next six days. when you pray, pray with confidence. in those ancient words that americans have clung to through much more challenging times than even we can possibly imagine, are is his people, who called by his name, will humble
5:30 am
