today guys? i was born and raised right here in tucson arizona. i graduated from tucson high last year. let's go badgers. now i'm a proud student at the university of arizona working towards my criminal justice degree with hopes to be a u.s. marshal. arizona has always been my home and i have never felt more inspired by the energy sweeping through our state. people are fired up to support vice president harris and governor walz in the selection. -- this election. that's why for the first time ever, i'm casting my vote for them. this is more than a campaign. it's a movement bringing people together from all walks of life. to make our voices heard,

everyone here needs to help. these last days are crucial so please knock on doors, make calls and mobilize your neighbors because we believe in this for a better future. vice president harris is ready to lead. she has the experience, strength and conviction to protect our freedoms and democracy. governor tim walz shares the same passion. as a teacher, coach and veteran, he has delivered working-class families like the one i grew up here in tucson. together, they are ready to fight for what matters most. protecting our freedoms, securing our futures and delivering results for all americans. i'm proud to support them and i'm asking everyone here to join me.

let's make everyone here is on board. let's make history together, guys. is everybody ready? then without further ado, please join me in welcoming our next president of the united states of america, governor tim walz. governor walz: it's good to be back in tucson.

can we just all agree that our future is bright with leadership like orlando? also it's a privilege to be here with someone i went into the 2000 six class of the united states congress with with gabby giffords. gabby giffords is saving lives across this country and we owe her a deep debt of gratitude. good to be back with senator mark kelly. this guy has had one day off in the last nine weeks. he has been out here across the country doing this. last saturday i had the privilege to be with him at window rock and it invitation to be on the navajo nation, and i'm grateful to him for that. glad to be on the ticket with vice president harris and myself who understand the tribal sovereignty is the law of the land and to honor that self-determination is a core principle.

another guy got a serve in congress, whether it was helping get the affordable care act passed through congress or protecting our health every day, javier becerra is a champion of the health of this country. and i saved my final thanks. i'm a minnesota and. -- minnesotan. it snowed this weekend. it is saturday afternoon on a beautiful day and you came here because you love america. thank you. and as bruce springsteen always says, it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive. not that anybody is counting, but we have 30 days to an election. three days to make an impact not just on the next four years but on the next 40 years. not just for us but on future

generations. not just for this country but for the world. and here's the good news. we are winning. we are winning. now notice, i didn't say we have won. because there's work to do. it may be hard for a group of you came here today to believe it but there are still some folks aren't quite sure what they are going to do in this election. some of them are friends, neighbors, family members and they are speaking honestly. i really don't like donald trump's personality and the stuff he does and you are like no --. but they say, but i liked his economy that he had. that's the point. it's a little bit hazy. people get busy. there's a lot of stuff going on.

2.7 million jobs lost. unemployment up. and the way he botched the covid pandemic, tens of thousands of americans died unnecessarily. the rest of us were out there in battles to try to find hand sanitizer and toilet paper is how bad things got. if you were a billionaire or millionaire, you might have liked to that economy because you got a tax cut. the rest of us got squat during that time because that's how donald trump thinks. he doesn't spend time thinking about ways to improve your life. he doesn't spend any time thinking about you. i saw something that was very telling. you know on your phone you've got your lock screen with your puppies or your kids or your car for some of us -- i will admit? not donald trump. he's got a picture of himself. it's true.

that ought to tell you where he's at. now look. i understand. 72 hours is going to have a big impact. we've got work to do yet. this thing is not decided and it's going to be close. this thing could be won in the state of arizona. so if you are stressed and you are on the pull -- poller coaster -- do some of those. but the remedy to this is very simple. go out and vote for kamala harris for president. [proud chanting -- crowd chanting "vote"] these guys know the assignment.

how many of you have voted? it works wonders. instead of wringing your hands, ring the doorbell's. pick up the phone and call some people. we've got a golden opportunity to turn the page on donald trump. there's lots of reasons to win this, but be honest each of you. how damn happy will you be and how good will it feel to turn on your tv and not see this guy again? and how great will the alternative be when we have a new generation of leadership and the president kamala harris? it's about getting things done. here in arizona, created 300 70,000 jobs under the

biden-harris administration. she's offering a new way forward and you saw it and the world sought on tuesday night. that is how president talks standing in the ellipse on the national mall. she talked about being a president for all. she talked about bringing in different voices and she said on the first day in the white house, she will go in with her to do list to improve your lives , not an enemies list to go after those you disagree. and right off the top she said it. lowering the cost of living and putting more money back into the pockets of middle-class people. that is the goal. she talked about and act the first federal price gouging ban. the teacher in me can't pass up an opportunity to explain what that means. i was with a form of the other

day in pennsylvania. he grows corn and potatoes and has some cattle. i asked him what are you getting for a bushel of corn these days. about $4.10 a bushel. when prices were cheaper, he was getting the same. you are paying more in the only thing that changed in this equation was corporate profits are at a record high. that's what price gouging looks like. now another example happened when we had a hurricane helene coming and we put out notice to people in florida, you should leave as quickly as you can. right after they said that, airline prices went through the roof. that's not capitalism, that's unethical and this is what a ban on corporate price gouging stops. and let's be clear, 100 million

americans will see a tax cut under president harrison's plan -- harris's plan. when we did that during the covid pandemic, we reduced childhood poverty by half. this is the surest and best way to reduce childhood poverty and get our children off to a good start. that's what we'll do. and it was kamala harris that made sure our seniors, that they kept the price of a month worth of insulin at $35. this is my third lesson on price gouging. she wants to extend that to all americans and the reason is we did it in minnesota because we had a young man named alex smith. he turned 26 and aged off his

parents insurance. he started rationing his insulin and he died. his mom came to the capital and said no family should ever have to go through this grief again and she helped us pass a cap of $35 on insulin for everybody in minnesota. kamala wants to extend that across the country. but let me give you the less closer. before we put that cap on their, pharmaceutical companies were charging $800 for that vial of insulin. and the real reason to boo is it costs five dollars to manufacture. these are things we can do to improve people's lives. come on the put out a plan that if you are older, you will get it. if you are young, you don't spend a lot of time thinking about medicare. when you turn 60 you will spend about half the day. medicare and social security are the best antipoverty programs we

have ever developed in this country. they are critical and we can make them better having medicare pay for home health care and keep our seniors and parents in their homes longer. the seniors will tell you this, too. medicare today doesn't pay for vision or hearing. we will make sure you can get your glasses and your hearing aids if you need them under medicare. my nearly 90-year-old mom got her hearing aids a few years ago. she is a hell of a lot more fun now that she can hear us. and home ownership is generational wealth for us. it's the most important thing that we buy. they provide security for our families but we know how difficult it is. vice president harris has created -- proposed making sure everyone has access to down payment assistant help.

-- assistance help. that gets you in the door. the average small business costs about $40,000 to get off the ground to have your american dream. we give a $5,000 tax credit right now for that. kamala harris is proposing a $50,000 tax credit to small business owners to get them off the ground. that's a bit of our plan and it's not a concept of a plan, it's a real plan. and when asked how will we pay for this, for starters we can have donald trump pay his federal tax for a change. this is how you enhance the middle-class and grow the economy. as we say in minnesota, we all do better when we all do better. it's as simple as that.

not everybody thinks that way. donald trump and jd vance have a different plane. and it is more than a concept of a plant because they took the time to put it in a 900 page book called project 2025. they were like what is that, i've never heard of that. when everybody found out how crappy it was -- i coach football long enough to know you draw up a playbook, you are going to run the plays that are in it and this playbook is the damn nightmare for the middle class. the first thing they are going to do is repeal the best job creators and modernization programs. the bipartisan infrastructure law and the inflation reduction act that moves us towards a clean energy economy and innovation for the future. those are hundreds of thousands

of good paying union jobs across this country that sustain families. they want to repeal them. he would have thought in his nearly 80 years on earth -- you would have thought in his nearly 80 years on earth and being this stable genius. and he went to the wharton school. you would have thought he would have learned what a tariff was by now. because donald trump is out there saying we will put a tariff on this and the chinese will pay for it. no one buys that because what we know and the economists know is when you put a tariff on it and companies like black & decker and columbia said this week, we will simply raise prices. you will end up paying 20 percent more or $4000 a year. that's what it will mean. i think especially here in

arizona, you remember when the republican party used to talk about freedom, they meant it. this guy is not john mccain's republican party. he means government should have the freedom to be in your exam room, to be in your bedroom, to tell you what books to read and to make those decisions. you know what it was and they have all said it. if they just mind their own damn business, we will mind our own damn business. people should be free to make these decisions, not politicians. no politicians, especially donald trump. freedom means that seniors should be free to retire with dignity when we strengthen social security and medicare, not cutting them as they have proposed.

and you know it in arizona and gabby giffords talks about it. the freedom to send our little ones to school without being shot dead in their classrooms. and don't take the bait on this. i know guns. many of you here know them. i am a veteran, hunter and gun owner. kamala is a gun owner. we understand you can protect the second amendment while also protecting our children. now let me talk to the guys that are here. for a moment, just think about the women in your life who you love. your mothers, sisters, partners, wives, neighbors, daughters. think about them. because of what donald trump did, he appointed three supreme

court justices who took away 52 years of protections so that those women in your life now have fewer rights than their mothers and grandmothers had. he brags about it. 20 states now have trump abortion bands, including arizona. he's just getting started. because this week he told us he would appoint rfk jr. to be in charge of women's health. he said, donald said, that he -- if you are a woman, he will be your protector. he can't even open the door of a garbage truck, let alone do this.

the one thing is if the sky were a comedian, it might be marginally funny. but because he could be president of the united states again, it's deathly serious. and he added to the women after he told you he would be the protector, i'm going to do it whether the women like it or not. and here's what we are seeing. women are turned away from emergency rooms and miscarrying in parking lots whether they like it or not. survivors of rape are being forced to carry those pregnancies to term whether they like it or not. fertility clinics have turned couples away at the door whether they like it or not. for so many of us, me included, this is personal. it was because of those

fertility treatments that we were able to have our beautiful family and i will be damped if anyone in this country should be denied the opportunity that we had. -- damned if anyone in this country should be denied the opportunity that we had. so when we win back the house of representatives. and arizona alexa ruben gallego to the senate -- elects ruben gallego to the senate. and we pass the restoration of reproductive freedoms. president harris will sign it into law. some of this stuff is pretty simple. the mind your own damn

business. we all do better when we all do better. and we simply trust women and that fixes a lot of it. and i'll tell you what. i also have a feeling that all across this country, every age, every background, every political party, that those women are going to send a loud and clear message to donald trump on november 5. whether he likes it or not. we are not going back. arizona, i'm here on behalf of kamala harris and myself to

humbly ask you for your vote and the work over the next 72 hours to get this done. 72 hours but here's the deal. momentum is on our side. but we take nothing for granted. and being in this setting in a high school, i'm not going to pass this up. here's the deal, folks. two minutes left in this game. we got the damn ball. we got the best quarterback on the field in kamala harris. we all know there will be plenty of time to sleep when you're dead, not now. we knew in arizona a vote or two per precinct could be what it takes to win the whole damn race for the country. and all of you, the older folks will get this. younger folks, there will come a

day. you were going to be sitting on that rocking chair in the little ones are going to come up to you after school where they have been studying the 2020 election and they are going to ask, when everything was on the line and the american experiment was on the line and there was somebody running who asked to be a dictator and to overturn the constitution and talk about using the military against our people, what did you do to stop that from happening? and you're going to be able to say every damn thing we could. so here's the deal. make a plan to vote. make a plan to get out and canvas. make a plan to take a neighbor to the polls. polls are open here 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.. 73 and a half hours to get this thing done. if you still have a mail-in

ballot, get it in the dropbox. i will vote.com/az to find your polling place. can you imagine having 75 hours to make an impact on the planet for generations to come? to make an impact to uphold decency and kindness and show grace to your neighbors? when can we tackle our biggest problems? income inequality. and addressing things like climate change. it's hours to do. we are going to vote. we are going to win. but i'm going to ask you this. arizona, win this thing for america. let's go.
