This is about 40 minutes. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the daughter of the Vice President of the United States, charlotte pence bond. [applause] charlotte hello, everyone. Thank you for being here today. Well, i have the honor and joy of introducing a very special person to me, your Vice President , my dad, mike pence, today. [cheers and applause] charlotte and im traveling with him on the campaign trail today. But four years ago, i did travel quite a lot. I traveled almost every day my parents were on the campaign trail from when we were picked in july up until election day. And i saw the country, saw places ive never been before, i met people i was so inspired by, people who were excited about this message and still are today. But a lot happens in four years. And i kind of i realized even more so than in the past. Even though ive grown up around politics. That campaigns end and the day after election day is when the work really starts. And thats i think when true character and leadership is really proven. Ive been so impressed, but not surprised that the country has gotten to see President Trump and my dad really lead in a way thats shown that character. [cheers and applause] charlotte and improve so many lives. But 2020 has been an especially challenging year. Yeah. For everyone in the whole world. Everyones been really impacted by this. And i think ive been especially proud to and just really blessed to see my dad lead during this time, especially, with the Coronavirus Task force. Probably the most proud ive really been of him in his career in politics. [cheers and applause] charlotte ive been able to watch firsthand that really calming and that steady nature that i know hes had as my dad my whole life, but i think the country really got to see that as well. And throughout the coronavirus epidemic i mean, i had friends reaching out to me from all sides of the aisle, republicans, democrats, people who dont care at all about either one, texting me and telling me that watching my dad every day just reassured them. Just gave them some ease. [applause] charlotte yeah, i know. And that is true. And that ability to be calm in the midst of the storm i think is a really irreplaceable trait. But other than that other than a political message that my dad has taught me, other than the ability to be calm in a storm is the lesson from whom that peace really comes. It doesnt come, actually, from us. It doesnt come from inside of him. That comes from our faith in god. [applause] charlotte and well all go through more storms in our lives, and weve been through the storms before, but the ability to really find that peace and to know who were supposed to seek in the midst of a storm i think is the most important lesson my dad has taught me and i think shown the country during this time. So with that, ill introduce to you my dad, Vice President mike pence. [cheers and applause] [applause] v. P. Pence well, hello, florida [cheers and applause] v. P. Pence it is great to be back in the Sunshine State. And i dont know that ive ever ive ever been more moved by an introduction. I tell you what, my daughter is the wife of a navy pilot. [applause] v. P. Pence she is an author and a speaker and a great champion for conservative values. Would you join me in thanking charlotte pence bond one more time. [cheers and applause] shes a voice of the generation. Proud of you. So proud of you. And all of you gathered here today. To my friend, congressman Gus Bilirakis is here. Thank you so much, congressman. My friend of many years. Chairman joe. To everyone that has come out today, i have got to tell you its great to be back in the Sunshine State for a Trump Victory rally celebrating faith in america. [cheers and applause] v. P. Pence because i have faith in america [cheers and applause] v. P. Pence but its so good to be with so many friends of so many years. Congressman bilirakis and i served together on capitol hill. I was in congress for 12 years, although it seemed longer. [laughter] congressman, i have to tell you, you have been a champion of conservative values every day new served florida in washington, d. C. , and im proud. Im proud to call you a friend. And speaking of friends, allow me to bring greetings from another friend of mine. A man who loves the Sunshine State. And when i told him last night i was headed down to florida, i think he sounded just a little bit jealous. So allow me to bring greetings and gratitude at this faith in america rally from the 45th president of the United States of america, President Donald Trump [cheers and applause] [chanting four more years] v. P. Pence well, thank you for that, everybody. It is great to see all the view, but i am here for all of you, but im here and here for one reason only. Thats because florida and america need four more years of President Donald Trump in the white house. [cheers and applause] v. P. Pence it really is amazing when you think of the last 3. 5 years. It has been 3. 5 years of action, 3. 5 years of results. It has been 3. 5 years of promises made and promises kept. [applause] v. P. Pence i mean, from the first day of this administration, President Trump has kept the promises that hes made to the American People. To the people of florida. And especially to people of faith. Weve stood for the sanctity of life without apology. [applause] we have stood for the religious liberty of every american of every faith. V. P. Pence and beyond that, we made the Strongest Military in the history of the world stronger still. We rebuilt our military. [cheers and applause] this president has appointed more conservatives to our courts of appeals than any president in American History and we revived the American Economy in three short years. True. In those first three years, President Trump kept the promises he made to the people of florida. We cut taxes across the board for working families and businesses large and small. This president actually signed more bills cutting federal red tape than any president in American History. We fought for free and fair trade. The usmca is now the law of the land. We unleashed american energy. In those first three years, businesses large and small created more than seven million goodpaying jobs all across this country. [applause] v. P. Pence and then the coronavirus pandemic struck. Its been a challenging time. It has been a challenging time. Throughout the course of this year. Especially over the last especially over the last four weeks here in the state of florida. But early in this pandemic, the American People saw the leadership of this president shine forth. President trump marshaled not only a whole of government response, but a whole of america response. We reinvented testing. We started delivering hundreds of millions of medical supplies to the Extraordinary Health care workers that have saved lives all across this country. [applause] v. P. Pence weve been developing medicines known as therapeutics at a record pace and we are well on our way to having the first coronavirus vaccine, i believe before the end of this year. We have a ways to go on all fronts. You know our hearts are with the more than 150,000 families that have lost loved ones in this pandemic. And our gratitude is with all of the amazing first responders, especially those doctors an nurses and Health Care Workers who have been nothing less than heroic every day of this pandemic. [applause] they have our thanks. But were encouraged, were encouraged by the progress that were making. Encouraged, were encouraged by the progress that were making. In the Sunshine State and all across the sun belt. Because of this president s leadership and our on fwoing effort, because of the strong leadership of Governor Ron Desantis in this challenging time. I got a report from the Coronavirus Task force yesterday that cases are coming down in the Sunshine State. Positive tests are coming down. Nd our economy is coming back. Its amazing to think after losing 22 million jobs at the height of this pandemic, because of the Solid Foundation that our president poured of less taxes, less regulation, more american energy, free and fair trade in our first three years, the american comeback has begun and weve already added eight million jobs back to the American Economy. Were opening up america again and were opening up american schools again. But ill make you a promise. Ill make you we will soon come to a time for choosing. The choice has never been clearer. Mr. The stakes have never been higher. Thats why im here today. I want to talk about whats at stake, the choice our nation faces. Im here to talk about faith in america and keeping faith with everything thats always made America Great. [applause] making a mistake about it. Our economic recovery is on the ballot. Also, there are things on the ballot more fundamental and more foundational to our country as well. Election, the choice will not be whether america will be more conservative or more liberal. More republican or more democrat, more red or more blue. Re republican or more democrat, more red or more blue. The chase we face is whether america remains america. Its whether we will leave to our children and our grandchildren a country grounded in our highest ideals of freedom, free markets, the inalienable right to life and liberty. Or whether we will leave to our children and grandchildren a country thats fundamentally transformed into something else. We stand at a crossroads of freedom. Before us lie two paths. One base on the dignity and worth of every individual. And the other on the growing control of the state. One road leads to greater freedom and opportunity. The other road leads to socialism and decline. I know the American People. I know the merp people will choose freedom an opportunity when we reelect President Donald Trump for four more years. [applause] the truth is, joe biden and the radical democrats would send america on a path of socialism and decline. President trump set our nation on a path of freedom and opportunity from the very first day of this administration. I submit to you that that is the choice we face. Between a society grounded in freedom and one grounded in socialism. One grounded in opportunity for all. Or decline. Its amazing when you look at their agenda. I mean, in the midst of a pandemic, joe biden would raise axes by 1 trillion. To contrast, President Donald Trump cut taxes for the American People and were going to keep fighting for tax relief for the American People for four more years. Joe Biden Joe Biden would bury this economy under an avalanche of red tape. More regulation. More bureaucracy. And this president has cut more federal red tape than any president in history. Joe biden has a 2 trillion plan to abolish fossil fuels. Hed rejoin the paris climate accord. And implement a. O. C. s green new deal. President trump . Hes proceeded on an all of the above Energy Strategy and made our Nation Energy independent for the first time in 75 years. Were a net exporter of energy to the world. Its not just the choice at home. Its on the world stage. The American People need to remember that joe biden was a leading voice of appeasement toward iran. And the Iran Nuclear Deal. President trump got us out of he Iran Nuclear Deal and soleimani is gone. [applause] and were and where four previous president s made promises to the American People about our most cherished ally, it was President Donald Trump who kept his promise. When he moved the American Embassy to jerusalem. The capital of the state of srael. So this president has stood with our allies and stood up to our enemies. Closer to home President Donald Trump has stood for law and rder every single day. [applause] joe biden actually said he believes that america is systemically racist. Nd that Law Enforcement has an implicit bias against minorities. When joe biden was asked whether he would cut funding to Law Enforcement, he said, and i quote, yes. Absolutely. President trump and i know that the men and women who put on the uniform of Law Enforcement every day are the best people in this country. With this president and this administration, we will always back the blue, we will always stand with the men and women on the thin blue line of Law Enforcement. Were not going to defund the police, not now, not ever. Cheers and applause] despite what joe biden and the radical left think, the American People know Law Enforcement isnt the problem. Law enforcement is the solution. Men and women, we dont need to choose between supporting Law Enforcement and supporting our men our minority communities. This president has done both every single day and we will continue to deliver. We will support Law Enforcement. We will support our minority communities. With liberty and justice for all. [applause] and on the issues important to people of faith in america, what brings us here today, americans who cherish life and religious liberty. E biden and the radical left are deeply out of step with the American People. Joe biden and the radical left support abortion on demand. They support taxpayer funding of abortion. Even though throughout his career, joe biden supported whats known as the hyde amendment, which prevented taxpayer dollars from going to Fund Abortion, the pressure from the radical left, joe biden abandoned that position. And now pledges to use taxpayer dollars to Fund Abortion at home and abroad and joe biden is calling for historic increases in funding to planned parenthood of america. Joe biden has also promised to reimpose obamacare mandates on religious institutions. Fortunately this president ended the assault on the Little Sisters of the poor and the Supreme Court by 72 ended it forever. While joe biden is advancing a social agenda of the radical left, by contrast, President Donald Trump is the most prolife president in American History. And this president has stood for the religious freedom of every american of every faith, every day that weve been in office. Thanks to this president s leadership, im proud to report to you that now we have more than 200 new judges appointed to our federal courts at every level. And they are all men and women who will uphold the godgiven liberties enshrined in our constitution. Line the freedom of religion. The freedom of speech. And the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. Cheers and applause] from day one of this administration, this president has stood for life. Literally, we were in office less than a week when the president reinstated whats known as the mexico city policy which would ensure that no taxpayer dollars would ever be used to provide or promote abortions around the world. This president also recognizes the importance of freedom of speech to people of faith. We know that the freedom of speech should not end at the front door of your church or synagogue or place of worship. He stopped enforcing the Johnson Amendment and freed up the ulpits of this nation. [applause] and i must tell you, one of my proudest moments as your Vice President was sitting in the chair in the United States senate and being given the opportunity to cast the tiebreaking vote to allow states across the nation to defund planned parenthood. [cheers and applause] and President Donald Trump signed the bill. Joe biden and the Democratic Party support lateterm abortion. Democrats in the senate even blocked a bill that would require medical care for children that survived abortion. By contrast, this president has consistently defended the sanctity of life and President Trump and our administration will continue to call on the congress to outlaw lateterm abortion once and for all. Cheers and applause] and we stood without apology for the sanctity of human life. In fact this past january, President Donald Trump became the first president ever to address the annual march for life on the National Mall in erson. With this president s leadership , conscience rights of doctors, nurses, teachers and reals you charities have been preserved. For all hes done for life and real jus liberty. For all hes done for people of faith, of every faith, across america. We need four more years of President Donald Trump. N the white house. Cheers and applause] [chanting four more years brts] Vice President pence it is gad to be with you today. Good to be with you for this faith in america rally. I love my daughters introduction today but she knows the one i prefer is a little bit shorter. Im a christian, a conservative and a republican, in that order. [applause] but thats why its so humbling for me to be Vice President to a president who has been such a steadfast defender of life and faith and freedom. Let me take this opportunity with my family present, she talked about four years ago, can i just say thank you to the people of florida for giving our family the privilege of serving you as Vice President of the United States. Its the greatest honor of my life. You know, the foundation of america is freedom. But the foundation of freedom is faith. The American People know as president john adams said so ng ago, and i quote, our constitution was designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. I have traveled all across this country. Sometimes with my wife at my side. And as charlotte said, sometimes with our daughter along. Four years on im more convinced than ever of two things. America is a freedomloving nation. And this is a nation of faith. People across this people across this country know how precious freedom is. I see the passion in this room, i see it all across the country, on street corners and conversations. From sea to shining sea. But men and women, weve got a tough fight ahead of us. But it only means the prize is going to be more glorious. I hope youll all see yourselves as part of a great story. The story of promises made and promises kept. Its a story of renewing american strength. Story of reating jobs and opportunity for every american. Ts a story of resilience. Through the trial of this past year, story of law and order and protecting all thats made this country strong and prosperous and good. But like all great stories, the ending is up to us. From this day forward, what remains of this election, roughly 90 days, weve all got to do our part. Weve got to go tell the story. And weve got to write the end of the story by reelecting President Donald Trump for four ore years. I have faith. I know that you will do. Because this is a freedomloving nation. The love of freedom beats in the heart of every american. I know the American People will make the choice for freedom and opportunity. Theyre going to reject socialism and decline. A study of the long and storied history of this country teaches that every time, every time the American People have been given the choice between more freedom and less freedom, they stand for freedom, they fight for freedom, and they choose freedom every single time. And i know you will again. I know well rise to the occasion. Well return President Donald Trump to the white house for four more years. I want to thank you for coming out today. I really do. This is i cant tell you what it means to see you all. And to see so many people out on the streets. That greeted us. [applause] we got a great florida welcome. I want you to bring your determination. I want you to bring your voice. I want you to reach out to your neighbors an friends. At woffer ship and at work. Send out an email. Tweet, instagram. Let people know how important this election is. Inclined if youre from time to time to bow the head and bend the knee id ncourage you to do that too. Know, the you sweetest words that we ever hear as we travel across this country are when people will reach out and say im praying for you. You know when people mean it. You can feel it. Every single day i have a briefing book and my staff all the way back from my days in congress, im someone who believes in read your mail. So my staff always scoops out some mail and puts it in my briefing book every day. Almost without fail, letters end with people telling me, praying for you, praying for the president. And if youre among them, i want to tell you, we feel those prayers. Keep it up. T matters. But on this one, in these divided time, where it seems like its more that divides us in this country than unites us, i just encourage you, not so much to pray for a candidate or cause, pray for america. Pray for all of the American People. In this one nation under god. With liberty an justice for all. And we will heal our land. We will heal our land. From that wellspring of strength on which the American People have always drawn. From faith in america. [applause] the bible says where the spirit of the lord is, theres freedom. That means when we stand for free dom, when we fight for freedom, we make his cause on this earth our very own. And it also means freedom always ins. So thats the choice we face, my fellow americans. Between freedom and opportunity versus socialism and decline. I have no doubt that if all of us do all we need to do between now and election day, even in these challenging days, well see our way through. Well help our neighbors and family and friends to heal our land. And come november 3, were going to win a great victory. For freedom and our way of life. Were going to elect and reelect principled conservatives at every level from the congress to the state house. And when we reelect President Donald Trump for four more years, were going to make America Great again. Again. Thank you very much. God bless you. And god bless america.
