00:00I want to talk a little bit about just the American dream,

00:05because it is under threat in our country.

00:08And when I talk about going from a poor family in Ohio

00:12to standing up here before all of you,

00:15what a great example of what this country makes possible

00:20that I'm here asking to be your next vice president of the United States, isn't it?

00:23Isn't that such a cool thing?

00:25But I hate to say this, because Kamala Harris is such a disaster

00:35that the dreams we have for our country and for our families,

00:39they are on the ballot in November.

00:41And this is why we have got to re-elect Donald J. Trump president of the United States.

00:45We've got to do everything that we can to get President Trump over that finish line.

00:52The contrast could not be more clear.

00:56Kamala Harris's vision is for closed factories and open borders.

01:02It's a government so big it can tell you what to do,

01:05but bank accounts that are getting smaller and smaller and smaller.

01:09Donald Trump delivered, not just talked about it,

01:12this isn't just his vision, it's what he actually did.

01:15He delivered rising wages and a strong border.

01:18What an amazing track record to run on.

01:25Kamala Harris wants to ban fracking and buy energy from every dictator around the world.

01:31Donald Trump wants to drill, baby, drill.

01:35Get American energy from American workers and American land.

01:43Kamala Harris wants to raise your taxes

01:46and make it easier to ship jobs to China and to Mexico.

01:50Donald Trump wants to lower the taxes for hardworking Americans

01:55and reward the companies that hire American and build American.

02:04Kamala Harris wants to defund the police

02:07and the violent criminals who make our streets less safe.

02:10Donald Trump, he's going to lock up the bad guys and back the blue,

02:15which is what all of us in this room believe.

02:22Now, I want to speak to all of you in the audience

02:25and anybody watching who's struggling today.

02:29If you're scraping by instead of thriving, I know what that feels like.

02:34I know what it's like to choose between paying off the credit card debt

02:38or buying groceries.

02:40I know what it's like to watch families fall apart under financial stress.

02:44And I know what it's like to worry that a parent will never kick that habit,

02:48that fear that the habit they have, whether it's drugs or alcohol,

02:51is going to eventually claim their life.

02:54But I also know that our national motto is,

02:57In God We Trust, and God tells us to hope and not despair.

03:02And while the media loves to lie about this movement and this party,

03:14this movement of ours is about a very simple idea,

03:18that we love this country enough to fight for a better future

03:22for our kids and our grandkids.

03:24That's it. It's simple.

03:27And we all know in this room that the best way to give our people hope for the future,

03:34the best way to preserve that American dream,

03:37the best way to give our kids that better life,

03:39is to re-elect Donald J. Trump, President of the United States.

03:43And Kamala Harris, she offers to lead us to a place of despair.

03:56So let me ask you, do we want open borders in this country?

04:00No!

04:02Do we want to bankrupt Medicare by giving it to illegal aliens?

04:05No!

04:06Do we want to defund the police?

04:08No!

04:09Do we want to ban fracking?

04:11No!

04:12Do we want a dangerous San Francisco liberal like Kamala Harris?

04:16No!

04:17Instead, in just a few months, Arizona is going to lead a great American restoration,

04:23a restoration of American safety, of American prosperity and American hope.

04:29We're going to secure our border and stop the endless flow of drugs and crime into our communities.

04:35We're going to bring down the cost of food and housing

04:38so that young Americans can afford to start a family

04:41and put that family in a beautiful home.

04:45We're going to end the radical environmentalist nonsense

04:48and restore American energy dominance.

04:51We're going to turn this country into a manufacturing superpower once again.

04:58We're going to cut taxes for working families,

05:00including on tips for our servers and on Social Security for our seniors.

05:10We're going to secure peace through strength and make sure our allies do their part.

05:15We will, in short, make America great again.

05:19It's going to start in Arizona and spread like wildfire all across our country.

05:24Let's go elect Donald J. Trump, President of the United States.

05:27God bless you all, and thank you so much.

05:30I love you, Arizona.

05:31Thank you for having me.
