[crowd cheering] meanwhile, donald trump would be a disaster for students, young people, and his project 2025 agenda includes plan to ban abortion nationwide. economists agree, his plan would

increase costs for working arizona families by $4000 a year and he also wants to gut social security and medicare. the families in my community cannot afford another trump presidency. none of us can. no. not going back. the question is, do you want a criminal or a prosecutor? do you want to candidate who is going to continue to grow the economy and bring jobs home arizona or a man who only looks out for his billionaire friends?

gov walz: well hello, flagstaff. my goodness. one more time. she was talking about her hometown of winslow. how about deb haaland? [crowd cheering] please. thank you. my first opportunity to be in this incredible community. thank you. [crowd cheering] bruce springsteen was right. it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive, people. we've got work to do and you know it. i want to give shadows because i know you will get the work done. i had the opportunity to be a window rock last weekend. former president -- with jonathan as, our next congressman. served in congress with a great fighter.

a special thank you to emily. our future is right. thanks for bringing minnesota weather. this is summer. really grateful. i got the opportunity to travel all across the state. i was happy to stand with the navajo nation. the sovereignty of art indigenous tribes is paramount. when she's president, we keep our promises. [crowd cheering] it's an incredible day. saturday and here you are. it lifts my heart. i hope for everybody else to cheer. you came out for one beautiful reason. you love this country and that's why you are here.

all right. you've heard it. you know it. three days to go. you are as excited as i am about that, aren't you? look. we are winning this thing. we are winning this thing. it hasn't been one yet. think of the privilege. over the next 72 hours, we get to shape not just the four years but generations to come. maybe stunning to some of you but i know you talking to folks, you are hearing from folks. some folks haven't made their mind up yet. folks are busy out there saying, all right. i don't really like trump and his personality and how he acts. we are like, yeah. we get that.

but then they will follow up and say, but i think his economy was good. look, remember the mr. rogers thing. go find a helper. be a helper and help them understand what the economy look like. under donald trump, that hazy memory of that, we lost 2.7 million jobs. when he was president. more than any other time. [crowd booing] unemployment shot through the ruth -- ruth. because of donald trump's stubbornness and ignorance around the covid pandemic that he botched, we were out there fighting with our neighbors to find toilet paper. you've got ideas but he says, to

fix this economy, we are going to have to crash it first. what does a billionaire know about hardships? [crowd cheering] he'd also tell us he will help balance the budget. here's how he's going to do it. he will cut $2 trillion from discretionary spending. just to give you an idea of what that means. all the discretionary spending the government does and a year is $1.6 trillion. they are telegraphing what they are going to do. if they do that cut, it means they cut medicare and social security. that's the only way to do it. [crowd booing] vance said they have to go after

those things. he called social security the biggest impediment to fiscal sanity. donald trump called it a ponzi scheme. [crowd booing] our family called it a lifesaver when my dad died and we needed social security survivor benefits to get by. that's the way it works. [crowd cheering] we are hardy people. in minnesota, we walk on water half the year. we are tough. we don't mind pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps. that's what social security and medicare do for so many of us. this week, i like it that they are getting cocky about things. they are singing the quiet stuff out loud now. speaker of the house johnson. he said, we have to get rid of obamacare. [crowd booing] all of us know what that means. the reason why the aca is so

popular for the first time in american history, insurance companies couldn't deny us care for pre-existing conditions. we know how that works. insurance companies are good at this. donald has had nine years in a couple months ago he came up and he said he had a concept of a plan. on health care. and republicans -- he went on to say, jd vance was saying, donald trump has been a big supporter of the aca. donald trump was there. donald trump ran on getting rid of the aca. he signed an executive order to get rid of the aca. he signed on to a lawsuit to get rid of the aca. if it wasn't for john mccain, they would've gotten rid of it.

just to be clear, this shouldn't be that surprising. donald trump is in thinking about how to make your lives better. i think you can be certain, donald trump is in thinking about you at all. this guy gives us something every day. it would be funny if it weren't so dangerous. i saw a clip they got of him when he was golfing. it showed his bone, the lock screen where we have our dogs or kids or whatever. not that guy. he's got a picture of himself on his lock stream -- screen. true story. [laughter] this is stressful times. i know this. we've been through a lot. you've seen the misinformation. the russians, the chinese. you are wondering, people are stressed out about it. here's the deal. there's a remedy does that. vote for kamala harris for president. [crowd cheering] then if you are still stressed, take another person to go vote for kamala harris for president.

instead of wringing your hands, ring doorbells and get them to vote for kamala harris. [crowd cheering] there are so many reasons. we have a chance to turn the page on donald trump. so many reasons. so many reasons to vote against this guy. i will tell you, this one may be petty but we've earned it, living with this guy for nine years. how great will it be not to see him on tv anymore? [crowd cheering] and not only that. we get to see a new generation of leadership with kamala harris. [crowd cheering] with kamala harris, arizona created 370,000 jobs. [crowd cheering] offering us a new way forward, focusing on the middle class. she said it and you saw it on tuesday night. that's what a president looks like standing on an ellipse at the national mall.

the president for all americans. a president with a vision. a president who promised you on the first day she would go to the white house with a to do list for your life, not an enemies list that gets added to every day. [crowd cheering] she said it. top of that list, lowering costs for you and families across the country, keeping more money in your pocket. [crowd cheering] she said that's a priority everything will day in the white house. donald trump's priority is to get on tv and make it about him every single day. that's why she comes with a plan that makes sure we have a federal ban on price gouging that gets put in place. let me give you a little bit of this of how this price gouging stuff works. i was with a farmer in erie, pennsylvania the day before yesterday. he grows corn, potatoes, and some cattle. i asked him, how much are you getting for a bushel of corn?

he set about 410. when food prices were cheaper, how much were you getting? about 410. we are paying more. he's not getting anymore. corporate profits shot through the roof. that's price gouging. there's a hurricane coming to florida. they tell people to get out as soon as you can. so weird. airline prices went through the roof. and then the most despicable one. insulin and drugs that people need to be alive. [crowd cheering] 35 bucks because of kamala harris for our seniors to be capped. minnesota, we had a young man named alex smith. he turned 26 and aged off of his parents insurance. he started rationing insulin and he died from it. his mom nicole came to the state capital and said, never again. in minnesota, we extended the $35 to all minnesotans.

[crowd cheering] that's what we do. here is your price gouging on that. $35 for that little vial. they were charging $800. it cost five to manufacture. when you hear kamala harris say we will put more money back in your pocket by taking on corporate greed, that's what we are talking about. [crowd cheering] hundred million americans get a tax cut. focusing on $6,000 on a child tax credit. during the covid pandemic when we instituted the child tax credit, we reduced childhood poverty by half, the most in our history. [crowd cheering] and then for all of you, the thing all of us want. to be able to have a home. it is generational wealth. security. making sure we are creating affordable housing. for the first time, offering $25,000 down payment assistance.

as we are surrounded by small businesses, people with the american dream, there's been a $5,000 tax credit to start your new business. the average start up cost is $40,000. kamala harris is proposing a $50,000 tax credit for new businesses. [crowd cheering] that was a little snippet of what we call a plan. not a concept of a plan. but a plan. [crowd cheering] and i'm proud of that. it focuses on the middle class. look. i should be fair to the other side -- know i shouldn't. but i will be. they do have a plan. they did us a favor by putting it in a 900 page book. it's project 2025. [crowd booing] some of you know this. i coached for a long time. if you will take the time to make a playbook, you are going to run the place. you don't just make it up. these guys are like, i don't know anything about project 2025. jd vance wrote the forward to the book of the architect of

that plan. he said, i don't know anything about it. i've never written a forward for someone's book but i assure you if i did do that, i would remember doing it. this is a nightmare for the middle class. you can go on and on. in terms project 2025, it reveals the most significant investment in our country in over 50 years and infrastructure. taking back billions of investments all across the country. taking the inflation reduction act, moving us towards a clean energy future and thousands of new jobs across the country. taking that back. we are not going back. we are not going back. and then this dude is nearly 80 years old. he tells us he's a genius, a stable genius. he apparently went to the wharton school. in those 80 years, you would have thought he learned what a tariff is and who pays for it. we pay for it.

his tariff plan, his national sales tax plan will add 20% of the cost of most things you buy, adding up to $4000 to families across the country. that's his plan. now luck. we got asked, how are you going to pay for your plan? for starters, he can pay his taxes. that would be a start. make some fairness to it. i don't want to be clear -- i want to be clear. i'm sure in a crowd this big, there's folks who remember it. independents and republicans. let's just be very clear. these guys under donald trump, this is not john mccain republican party. this is not john mccain's republican party. when these guys talk about freedom, we -- they mean the freedom to be in your bedroom, the freedom to tell you what to read, the freedom to dictate things in your life that we all know is none of their business to be in. none. none of it.

when kamala harris talks about freedom, she means the people. you should be free to make those most personal decisions about your health care, about your family, about your personal choices. [crowd cheering] let's be very clear about helping the middle class. social security and medicare benefits in hand. [crowd cheering] this next one for all of you here. you brought the little ones. i'm sorry about that colorful language. i've about had it with the guys on the others. i'm expressing it like a good midwesterner. but look, this one is serious. i say this as a dad, as a teacher, as a governor. our little ones, getting them dressed up in their best close, sending them off to school to meet with fantastic teachers who

are paired affairs -- paid a fair wage. [crowd cheering] have those little ones to be kids and learn, to give them the freedom to go to school without being shot dead in their classrooms. [crowd cheering] and i know here in arizona, i know guns. i'm a veteran, i'm a hunter, i'm a gun owner. kamala is a gun owner. we have both protected and understand that you can protect the second amendment while upholding our first responsibility, the protection of our children and our people. [crowd cheering] and all these wonderful guys who came out today, think about those loved ones in your life. think about the women in your life. moms, sisters, partners. all of those people in your life. your neighbors. when you think about them, think that this election literally has their lives on the line in this election.

donald trump when he made that decision to pick those supreme court justices who went in front of the senate and lied about upholding roe v. wade, they overturned it and he brags about it. picture those loved ones in your life. he's glad that they have less rights than their mothers or grandmothers had. [crowd booing] kamala harris asked those judges. can you name a single law that governs men's bodies? she couldn't get it. by doing this now, we have 20 states including arizona that have trump abortion bans in place. [crowd booing] now this week he tells us, he's going to put rfk junior in charge of women's health. [crowd booing] he even made it clear for you. donald himself said, don't worry.

he will be your protector. [crowd booing] can't even open the door of a garbage truck. look. he fumbled and said, he's going to do that whether women like it or not. [crowd booing] crowd: we don't like it! gov walz: so some of this stuff might be comedy fodder if this guy would go back to just being a buffoon on tv. but he's not. he's asking to be president of the united states again. what he means is, women are turned away from emergency rooms and miscarriage in parking lots. whether they like it or not. survivors of rape and incest are being forced to carry those pregnancies to term, whether they like it or not. [crowd booing] fertility clinics have turned couples away at the door, whether they like it or not. for so many out here and for the women who serve it's personal.

on the fertility side, women are struggling with this. we struggled for years with infertility because we had insurance treatments we had our beautiful family. i will be damped if anyone will take that from anybody in this country. [crowd cheering] but when we elect a democratic congress, when we hold the senate and we have a president harris, she will sign into law the reproductive freedom bill that we all know. [crowd cheering] this stuff is not that complicated. we simply trust women to make the decisions about their own bodies. [crowd cheering] here's the good news. i have a feeling that women all across this country, from every walk of life from either party, are going to send a loud and clear message to donald trump next tuesday, november 5. [crowd cheering] whether he likes it or not. [crowd cheering]

we are not going back. so i'm here today, flagstaff. on behalf of the next president of the united states. we humbly ask for your vote. how many of you have voted? how many of you took somebody else to vote we have three days. the momentum is on our side. literally everything is on the line. the good news is, we've got the ball.

we have the best quarterback in kamala harris. we don't get tired because there will be plenty of time to sleep with your dad. every vote we get, this will happen. there will be a day will you will be sitting on the rocking chair on the parts -- porch and the little one will come home from school. they will have learned about the 2024 election. they will look at you and ask you, what did you do in 2024 to protect the democracy and do what 250 years of american patriots have done to defend our constitution. they will ask you that question and you will get up and he will probably say, everything i could. everything i could. [crowd cheering] so folks, one vote for arizona

could be enough to turn this thing in the direction we know it needs to go. get out there and spy inch, door by door. don't bring the hands, ring the doorbell's. get on the phone, get people out there. make a plan. we are not going back people. [crowd cheering] we are going to the polls. we are going to the polls. to the young people out here, they did a study. when young people 18 to 25 here that one of their friends are -- or acquaintances are going to vote, they voted 80% rate. [crowd cheering] if they don't hear it, it drops to near 30. this is your time. have you voted? if they say no say, i can help you with the plan. offer to take them to the polls. buy them a cup of coffee. do whatever you need to do. i'll tell you why. when we wake up on wednesday morning, and this guy is history

, and the world sees what a president harris looks like, and a unified america who stands with our allies, stands for human rights, stands for a better future, stands for tackling climate change, the rest of the world will have flagstaff to thank for making that happen. [crowd cheering] so it's time, folks. when we felt -- vote, we win! when this for america. let's go. ♪ >> minnesota governor tim walz rallies the crowd in flagstaff, arizona. one of the battleground states.
