kearse cheers [cheers and applause] >> i've been to g.m.'s plant.chrysler's jefferson north plant. i've seen detroit prove the cynics and naysayers wrong. we didn't just stop there. we said american workers can manufacture the best products in the world so we invested in high-tech manufacturing and we invested in clean energy. and right now there's an advanced battery industry taking root here in michigan that barely existed before. half of the workers at one plant in detroit were unemployed before a new battery company came to town. and we're growing our exports so that more of the world buys products that are stamped with three simple words, "made in america." [cheers and applause] that's what we're fighting for, michigan. >> that's right! >> we're fighting for good jobs with good wages. we're fighting for health care when you get sick. we're fighting for a secure retirement even if you're not rich. >> that's right. >> we're fighting for the chance to give our kids a better life than we had. that's what we're doing to restore middle class security
