look, i grew up in kentucky and a small town called dawson springs. my dad and granddad were baptist preachers. my family owned a funeral home. my wife, jane and i have been married for almost 50 years. i became governor at the start of the global recession. after eight years, we left things a lot better than we found them. by being fiscally responsible, i even cut my own pay. we balanced our budget and turned deficits into surpluses without raising taxes. we cut our unemployment rate in half. we made huge gains in high school graduation rates and we found health coverage for over half a million kentuckians. we did that through trust and mutual respect. i listened, and i built partnerships with business leaders and with republicans in our legislator. we put people first and politics second. the america i love allowed his small-town preacher's kid to be elected governor. it taught me to embrace people who are different from me, not vilify them. the america i love has always been about looking forward, not backwards. about working together to find solut

kentucky governor steve beshear. chuck todd, let's talk about the message deputies are trying to send there. >> they're trying to speak to a part of america that they got swamped in, older white rural americans. there aren't any current democrats that are ready to give that speech, they had to go to a former office holder, i think he was trying to speak to that voter that democrats lost in michigan, ohio in particular. >> nicole wallace, you said you thought this was the political speech of his short political career, donald trump tonight. but we have seen time and time again where he can step on his own good news very quickly with one tweet. >> that's right. >> so what do you expect tomorrow?

now, back to kentucky. >> president trump: ladies and gentlemen of kentucky, are over. is that okay? those days are over. it's crazy. you know what that is? much more than 60,000 factories. you know what that is? i said, if you have a map, how do you put that many dots on the map, more than 60,000 factories. but they are all coming back. you see them coming back. you see car companies that were going to build elsewhere and now, they are saying that because of trump, we are going to build in michigan. we are going to build in ohio. we are going to build in kentucky. they are saying it loud and clear. because, from now on, it is going to be america first. america first. we will be, i promise you, a rich nation once again. and we will do what we have to do and we will not allow other countries to take advantage of us like they have been doing to a level that is hard to believe. hard to believe. it is not going to happen. not going to happen anymore, kentucky, remember that, okay? you just worry about your basketball team, i will take care of the rest. but to be a rich nati
