00:00It's about time.

00:03And just as I did before, I will also rescue the

00:06Minnesota Iron Range.

00:08I rescued it.

00:09It was so beautiful.

00:11I'll never forget when I did that.

00:15I came up, and there were guys that worked there

00:19that had lost their jobs for years.

00:21These crazy people, they closed it down for no

00:23reason.

00:24It's the best material, the best iron ore there is

00:27in the world.

00:27You know that.

00:28The best in the world.

00:29And it's unlimited.

00:30It's not like, oh, gee.

00:32Unlimited.

00:33And I met four guys that were so tough.

00:35They never cried, maybe when they were babies, you

00:38know, like at one or two.

00:40But after two, all four of them were crying.

00:43They were standing there bawling like a baby

00:46because I rescued their jobs.

00:47I gave them something that should have never been

00:49taken away.

00:50And they were doing great.

00:51And then Biden comes in.

00:52He has no idea what he's doing.

00:55And in his first week, he closed it.

00:58His first week.

00:59What a shame.

01:00But we're going to have it open.

01:01Tell those four guys, if you happen to meet them,

01:04no reason to cry.

01:05We're going to get it open again.

01:06All right?

01:07This is the first time they've cried, maybe, ever

01:09in their whole lives.

01:10They were rough-looking suckers, let me tell you.

01:12Four years ago, I saved the iron range from the

01:15radical left, but the Biden-Harris

01:17administration shut the iron range down.

01:19You know, they did it immediately, imposing a

01:22brutal 20-year mining ban on a quarter of a million

01:25acres.

01:26But I'll — I will end that mining ban.

01:28We'll do it together, Tom.

01:30We will end that ban in about — what do you

01:32think?

01:33— about 10 minutes?

01:33I would say 10 to 15 minutes.

01:35Right, Pete?

01:36And tonight, I pledge to Minnesota miners that

01:41when I'm reelected, I will reverse the Biden-Harris

01:44attack on your way of life, and we will turn the

01:47iron range into a mineral powerhouse like never

01:52before.

01:53That's what it is.

01:53It's a minerals powerhouse.
