To be here with the Vice President , with the honorable david young, who will be coming up after me. This whole concept of people coming along saying america was never great, i wonder where those people came from because do they recognize that this defended by a ragtag bunch of militiamen became the most3 powerful nation in the world in record time . That does not happen to a nation that is not great. And what was the world like before the United States of america . Stop and think about what the world was like. There were despotic leaders trampling over other people. They have to think twice about that now. Then, think about the innovation , the entrepreneurship, the hard makingat went into america into a great place. That is what makes us the kind of place that works for everybody. Some people say, well, america was good some groups, but maybe not so good for other groups. Again, maybe they need a history lesson. Say nothing ever happened for africanamericans in this country and that they didnt contribute, all you have to do is take a walked on the street, and you can start by looking at your shoes. It was a black man who invented the automatic shoe blessing machine, which revolutionized the world of shoes. The street, you look at it so clean. It was a black man who invented the automatic street sweeper. And down that street comes a refrigerated tractor truck, and it was frederick drones, a black man, who invented the system later adopted for planes and trains. It comes to a stop at the traffic signal, and it was a black man who invented the traffic signal, and invented the gas mask. The woman who invented the underwater cannon made it possible to launch missiles from submarines. You see a beautiful black woman walking down the street. A black man did not invent her, but [laughter] [applause] carson you can use that opportunity to talk about madame cj walker, the woman who invented cosmetic products for a woman of dark complexion. Then you walk past the hospital and you talk about the contributions to blood banking, understanding the function of blood plasma. The First Successful open heart surgery in the world. You look at the surgical lights. Thomas edison. You didnt know he was black, did you . [laughter] well, he wasnt, but his right hand man was. He came up with the filament to make the lightbulb work for more than two or three days. Invented the telephone for Alexander Graham bell. Was an incredible inventor in his own rights. Hyou walk past the railroad tracks, the automatic railroad car brought on the industrial revolution. Automatic lubrication system for locomotive engines. People are always trying to copy his stuff, and people say, is that a mccoy . Is that the real mccoy . You have racist people like david duke talking about the real mccoy. He doesnt even know who he is paying homage to. [laughter] [applause] but the fact of the matter is america has been great for a lot of people, and i can take that same walked down the street for virtually every nationality in this country. This is one of the reasons we have become so great, because we have so many people with so much talent. Our goal right now is to make sure that the rising tide lifts all boats. [applause] that is what the president means when he says make America Great again. You get the rising tide. When you look at what happened in the precoronavirus era, the lowest Unemployment Rates for many demographics and the wealth gap closing. It was good for everybody. And the economy was so strong that it has been able to withstand five to six months of shut down. No one thought that it could, particularly some of the opponents, but it has, and that is a tribute to the men and women who work in a place like pbf, who worked all over this country, who have grit and determination and resilience, and it is a tribute to our president and it is a tribute to our next speaker, who served in the United States congress, has been a champion of the resilience of our country, the honorable david young. [applause] mr. Young hey all righ alright thank you. Thank you for your service, dr. Carson. Alright. Do we live in the greatest country on the face of the earth throughout history . We do. We have to keep it that way. If signs are any indication of who is going to win the race november 3, it is trumppence. The signs are everywhere. Everywhere. [applause] we know in third place is bidenharris and secondplace is a garage sale. [applause] work hard, we play hard, we like to have a laugh here and there. We are blessed for this day. Mistake,try is not a right . And we are not going to let it go. My good friend, the former acting attorney general matt whitaker, was out here and he said the words that ben franklin said in 1787 when he came out of Independence Hall and somebody asked him, what did you come up with in there . He said, a republic, if you can keep it. We are the keepers for this generation, the next, and the next. What they are trying to sell us on the others of the aisle, we are not going to buy it. It has never worked before on the face of this earth. They think they have the right team at the right time . Their team is not even going to make it to the Playing Field because we are going to reelect President Trump and Vice President mike pence. [applause] i want to thank this great facility, but he cant do it alone. His workers are here, and they are building america. [applause] this is what it is about. [applause] and it doesnt come easy. It doesnt come easy. You take risks, there is rewards. Sometimes you fail. But if you fail, it should not be at the hands of the government, right . And we have a president and Vice President who knows that the entrepreneurial spirit, the sovereignty of the individual, and freedom is what makes this country great, and can make it better and better. We are the shining city on the hill. Every country out there that has come into being that was out of the dust of dust bits and the dust of out of dust bits and dictators, what did they do . Those here who are doing things in seattle and chicago and portland and kenosha and causing a lot of trouble and looting, the mob, they complain about america, but you know what . They are not leaving because this is the greatest country on the face of the earth. And we have to reelect President Trump and Vice President pence. [applause] now more than ever. Weve got a great president. We got a great team, and he can cant do it without his partner he cant do it without his partner, Vice President mike pence, who is a man of faith, a man of courage. He loves his family, he loves his country. He understands that service is putting yourself before others. He understands the sacrifice that has been made for this country. Aose who have dawnedonned uniform, who are active right now, he and the president are making sure they have the tools to take on bad people. Peace through strength. Bright and shining city on the hill. And we need to make sure that we keep our president and Vice President in that white house for four more years. It is my pleasure to introduce to you a great man, a great Vice President. Ladies and gentlemen, Vice President mike pence. Lets hear it for him [applause] v. P. Pence hello, iowa. [applause] it is great to be with all of to, my friend, david young, the amazing ben carson and his wonderful wife. What great words. [applause] and our former attorney general, matt whitaker. [applause] to all ou my fellow americans from near and far, it is great to be in the hawkeye state, especially here at carter lake with tyler owen and all the great men and women at one of the premier Manufacturing Industries in the country, pbs structures. [applause] and it is especially great to be here just 33 days away from another great victory all across the state of iowa and all across america when we reelect President Donald Trump for four more years. [applause] chanting four more years] v. P. Pence thank you all for coming out today. It is wonderful to see you. It is great to be with you all. If youve got a seat, grab one. Ive got a lot to say. It is a privilege to be here with all of you. But i also want to mention that seventh generation iowan you just heard from. He served a couple terms in the congress of the United States. He was a champion for iowas families, servicemembers members, veterans, and farmers. He is a man of integrity, a man of principle, and i am here to ask all of you to send david young back to a new republican majority in the house of representatives. [applause] but david young and i are here for one reason and one reason only, just like all of you. We know that iowa and america need four more years of President Donald Trump in the white house. [applause] the road to victory goes straight through iowa. [applause] if you didnt know it was on, maybe you missed that debate the other night. President l you what, donald trump took our case to the American People and he took the fight to joe biden, and we are going to keep on fighting for 33 days all the way to victory on november the third. [applause] as the president said, he held joe biden accountable. 47 years of failure. Shipping jobs and dreams abroad, bowing to the violent mob, and i promise you, we are going to keep taking that case every single day. It is amazing to think how far we have come and the story that we have to tell the people of iowa. Four years ago, a movement was born, a movement of Everyday Americans from every walk of life. Here in iowa, you believed we could be strong again. You believed we could be prosperous again. You said yes to President Donald Trump in 2016, and i just know that iowa is going to say yes to four more years of President Donald Trump in 2020. [applause] and it is because of what we have done. It is because of what we have done under this president s leadership. Four years ago, we inherited a military that was hollowed out by years of dollar devastating budget cuts, an economy that was struggling to break out of the slowest economic recovery since the great depression. Terrorism was on the rise around the world. And we witnessed a steady assault on our most cherished values and liberties. In three short years, President Donald Trump in the white house with strong allies on capitol hill, this father of a United States marine is proud to report to you, we rebuilt our military. The arsenal of democracy, and we are finally airmen, andoldiers, sayin space force the resources needed to defend this nation. [applause] to you that my son is a marine, but my unworthy soninlaw is a navy pilot. [laughter] he is actually currently deployed, serving overseas. I will tell you what, not just as your Vice President but having members of our armed forces and their spouses in my immediate family, i could not be more proud to serve as Vice President to a president who cares so deeply about the men and women of our armed forces and their families and our veterans. [applause] under the president s leadership, we have stood with those who serve and we have stood with all of you who wore the uniform of the United States as never before. In fact, if you are able, if you served in the armed forces of the United States, would the men and women in the room who served in our armed forces, would you mind standing up or raising her hand so we could say thank you one more time or raising your hand so we could say thank you one more time . [applause] thank you for your service. We can never say thanks enough. It is amazing to think when joe biden was Vice President , america lived through years of scandal at the v. A. That shocked the conscience of the nation. We saw one story after another, literally tens of thousands of our veterans passed away waiting for the care they had earned in the uniform of the United States. When President Donald Trump came into office, we passed the veterans accountability act, the most being reforms of the v. A. In 50 years. V. A. Red thousands of workers that were not providing the health care that our veterans deserve, and now veterans choice is available for every veteran in america. [applause] we did not just rebuild our military, support our vets, but ever since this president came into office, after years of that slow recovery out of the recession in 2008 and our first three years, it was jobs, jobs, jobs. Where joe biden wants to raise taxes, President Trump cut taxes across the board in our first three years. We rolled back more federal redtape than any administration in American History already. We unleashed American Energy and fought for free and fair trade, and it took just three short years, 7 million jobs created all across america. [applause] including 11,000 jobs right here in the hawkeye state, and iowa saw its lowest Unemployment Rate in more than 20 years. [applause] and it wasnt just over ill jot overall jobs. It was that wages were rising. Ive got to tell you, the president and i could not be more proud that wages are rising across the board, the fastest rate in 10 years, but they were rising most rapidly for hardworking bluecollar americans, the forgotten men and women of america were forgotten no more. [applause] when joe biden was Vice President , america actually lost 200,000 manufacturing jobs. The last president said about this time four years ago, remember . He essentially told the American People those manufacturing jobs were never coming back. Remember, he asked that famous question, what magic wand do you have . Well, we didnt need a magic wand. We just needed President Donald Trump in the white house. 500,000 manufacturing jobs created in just three years. [applause] i come from another i state. I am from indiana. We have a hoosier in the room. That is encouraging. Thingske indiana do two really well, you make things in you grow things. I want to promise you, you have a president who is a champion for the American People who make things. We are going to fight to make manufacturing bigger and better than ever before in the next four years. [applause] on the subject of growing things in this great farming state, i dont think i need to tell you that President Trump has put family farmers and ranchers first. In those tax cuts we passed, we basically eliminated death taxes for virtually every family farm in america. Death is no longer a taxable event. [applause] allowed for the immediate expensing of equipment costs. Our farmers know those costs are the biggest challenge in agriculture. And it was this president who eraaled the biden and obama usa rule and restored private Property Rights for landowners all across iowa and all across america. [applause] and with a passive ministry should turned their backs on farmers, and especially ethanol producers, President Trump told the people of this great state that our administration would expand ethanol markets, and that is exactly what we have done. Last year, the president went to Council Bluffs and announced that he15 is now available yearround. E15 is now available yearround. Can i tell all of you here at carter lake, none of that would have been possible without your president s leadership or without the strong and tenacious support of senator chuck and senator joni ernst. We need senator joni ernst back in the United States senate for six more years. [applause] the progress that we made in this economy, that is also why we need david young, ashley henson, marionette miller makes, Randy Feenstra. And across the river in nebraska, we need congressman don megan back in a new republican majority. We need to retire nancy pelosi once and for all. [applause] we stood strong our National Defense for the farmers and ranchers. President donald trump has stood for the rule of law every single day. High am proud to report for you as we stand here today in iowa, this president has already seen confirmed more than 200 conservatives to our federal includingevery level, Justice Neil Gorsuch and Justice Brett kavanaugh. [applause] i can tellell you, you all of those jurists are men and women of integrity who will hold the godgiven liberties enshrined in our constitution, like the freedom of religion, the freedom of speech, and the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. [applause] one week ago, we as a pot weve the nation pasta remember ruth bader ginsburg. President donald trump did his duty under the constitution of the United States. Nominated ay, he principled conservative woman of extraordinary character and extraordinary intellect, who reveres the constitution to the Supreme Court of the United States. He nominated judge Amy Coney Barrett. To be the next justice of this report. [applause] of the Supreme Court. [applause] i had the privilege of escorting judge barrett to the United StatesSenate Earlier this week. She is in the process of making the rounds. In about awe expect week or so there will be a hearing on capitol hill. Then there will be a vote. I tell you what, as members of the senate and the republican party, and i believe and hope members of the Democratic Party see her character, understand deepntellect, see her commitment to the constitution of the United States of america, after they provide advice and consent, i believe that judge Amy Coney Barrett is going to be justice Amy Coney Barrett. We ar going to fill that seat. We are going to fill that seat on the Supreme Court of the United States. [applause] rule ofstood for the law, strengthen the constitutional foundations in our country through the appointment of principled men and women tower courts. Has stooddonald trump every day with the men and women who serve on the thin blue line of Law Enforcement, and we always will. [applause] the men and women who serve in Law Enforcement across this country are some of the best people in america. My own goal was a cop in chicago for 25 years. When we were young, we drive up from that small town in indiana i grew up in and visit my grandparents house. We would see my uncle walk out wearing that uniform with the side arm on. I remember looking up at him and looking up to him. All of my heroes wear uniforms. [applause] and those who serve in Law Enforcement deserve the spect of every american, every day. [applause] President Trump and i will always support the constitutional right of americans to peaceful protest. Looting like you saw here in iowa, in des moines not long ago, is not peaceful protest. Burning businesses is not free speech. Violence against innocent civilians or Law Enforcement will not be tolerated, and those who do these things will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. For months, all joe biden spoke about was peaceful protesters. All summer long. As people that are major cities watched streets and businesses burn. Joe biden would double down on the very policies that would lead to violence. When you erode support or signal a withdraw of support from those who serve and protect, you only embolden those who would do hard harm to our family. Said america is systemically racist. He said police have an implicit bias against minorities. He said he would approve cutting Law Enforcement. , undermake you a promise President Donald Trump, we will factor the blue back the blue. We will not defund the police, not now, not ever. [applause] President Trump knows we do not have to choose between Law Enforcement and our africanamerican neighbors and other minorities in other cities. We have done both. We will keep doing both. We will support lawenforcement with better training and accountability. We will support safety for African American families. We will have law order in every city, in every state in america, for every american of every race and creed and color. So help us god. [applause] we rebuild our military, revive our economy. We stood for all of our most cherished liberties and law order. We made America Great again. [applause] it is true. Our economy was booming. America was standing tall. And then the coronavirus truck from china. President donald trump did what no american president had ever done when he suspended all travel from china. The second largest economy in the world. Joe biden said that was hysterical. And xenophobic. As the head of the task force, i can tell you firsthand, President Trumps actions saved andld american lives brought us in valuable time to stand up the greatest National Mobilization since world war ii. [applause] and this time we reinvented tes. We just cleared more than 100 million tests across this country, more than any other nation on earth and we just purchased 150 million new tests that are being distributed all across the nation, 15 minute test you can carry in your shirt pocket. We saw the manufacture working with industry just like this one manufacturing personal protective equipment in saw billions of supplies delivered to hospitals and nurses and i believe the American People can be proud that no american who ever required an icu bed was denied in icu bed and no american who required a ventilator was ever denied a ventilator anywhere in the United States. [applause] and we are continuing to meet this moment. New medicines are available remdesivir in convalescent plasma and i can tell you i heard it again when her task force met at the white house we are on track to have the first Coronavirus Vaccine before the end of this year and we will have tens of millions of doses for the American People. [applause] we are slowing the spread. We are going to keep protecting the vulnerable. We will keep saving lives. And we are going to keep opening up america again. [applause] having lost 22 million jobs at the height of this pandemic im proud to report to you with the jobs report just around the corner tomorrow that as of today 10. 6 million americans have already gone back to work including 97,000 people right here in the hawkeye state. [applause] we have a Great American comeback underway. We are just opening up america. We are opening up americas schools and getting our kids back to the classrooms. [applause] those tests i just told about three are distributing 100 million of those in sending them out pro rata every state and country making it possible for School Nurses and School Systems to get our kids back in the classroom and to keep them back in the classroom. Its just extraordinary and im proud to report to you that ive been married to a schoolteacher for 35 years and she is already back in the classroom and a little Christian School just outside of washington. [applause] so we have gone through a time of testing but im here and i in iowa today because in 33 days we are coming to a time for change for the choice in this election has never been been clear and the stakes have never been higher. Think about it in the middle of a Global Pandemic joe biden wants to raise taxes by 4 trillion. President trump may not only cut taxes acrosstheboard in our first three years but we are going to keep cutting taxes for four more years. [applause] jill biden wants to bury our economy under an avalanche of red tape. The other night he didnt even know that he had endorsed the Green New Deal. The next day he got off the train and said the Green New Deal is a good plan but our Green New Deal is a little different. Im telling you what both versions are job killers. You all understand the enormous costs on our economy that either any one of those versions would impose. We have been cutting red tape freeing up Companies Just like this creating jobs and opportunity and we are going to keep cutting red tape for four more years. Thats how you bring an economy back. [applause] joe biden is for open borders and sanctuary cities in Free Health Care for illegal immigrants. President donald trump theyd record investments in border security. Mexico is now doing more to secure their southern border and hours than ever before and we party bill. Miles about wall on the southern border of the United States and with four more years we are going to fix this broken immigration system once and for all. [applause] when it comes to trade the contrast could not be more clear. Out here in the heartland we saw the impact particularly in manufacturing since 1995. There were entire communities in indiana where auto plants were shuttered. Thousands of people put out of work virtually overnight and your jobs were shipped south of the border. In all his 47 years ever since nafta was enacted joe biden never lifted a finger or renegotiated. Thanks to the man who wrote the art of the deal, america has a better deal than nafta. The United States mexico Canada Agreement is now the law for land and its a win for American Manufacturing and a win for american farmers. [applause] if you didnt know im told nearly half of iowas exports go to canada and mexico. The huge win for iowa come incredible. Experts estimate we will sell another 2 billion more in agricultural goods to canada and mexico that includes more than. Million dairy exports alone, a huge win for the heartland. When it comes to jobs and trade when we came into office only half of our International Trade deficit was with one country the peoples republic of china. Communist china represented 500 billion of our annual trade deficit. Joe biden has been a cheerleader for communist china. He said it was a positive thing to see the rise of china to see it admitted into the world trade organization. President trump put china on notice from day one that the era of economic surrender is over. [applause] this president stood strong and we oppose tariffs on china when china started to retaliate against american farmers. We made more than 15 billion in direct support available to farmers from what we were collecting on those tariffs and believe it or not joe biden actually wants to repeal all the tariffs that President Trump put into effect a Playing Field for American Workers and we are not going to let it happen with four more years of President Trump in the white house we will stand strong with china and open markets and respect american jobs and American Workers. I promise you men and women we have made incredible progress. The security and prosperity. The choice that we face in this election is also about our most cherished values. Joe biden in the Democratic Party support abortion on demand and joe biden actually supports using taxpayer dollars to pay for abortion all the way up to the moment of birth. On my part, it couldnt be more proud to be Vice President to present his stance without apology for the sanctity of human life. [applause] President Donald Trump is the most prolife president in American History. [applause] when you look at their agenda, when you look at their agenda one thing is clear, joe biden would be nothing more than a trojan horse for the radical left. Joe biden said at his Convention Speech that democracy is on the battleground. I think our economic recovery is on the law and order are on the ballot. But i also also think there things much more fundamental and foundational to our country. You heard ben carson and you heard david young reflect on it. I honestly will tell you i dont think when the dust settles and the selection its going to be whether america becomes more republican or more democrat whether we are more liberal or more conservative, more red or more blue. I think the choice in this election is whether america remains america. [applause] whether we are going to continue to chart a course based upon freedom and our highest ideals and are most cherished liberties and values are whether we are going to let joe biden in the Democratic Party and the radical left take us on a completely different path to a place america has never been before. Thats why men and women of iowa we have got to decide right here and right now that joe biden will never be president of the United States of america. We are going to reelect President Donald Trump for four more years. [applause] its going to take all of us. You all from nebraska need to go to work too. Youve got to bring this enthusiasm. You have 83 days to go and i promise you as i said at the top we are going to keep fighting every single day. Im going to be in Salt Lake City next wednesday night. [applause] we are going to do our best to take her case one more time to the American People and take the fight to the biden harris party. We need you to go out and tell your neighbors and friends what four more years means. Just tell them, i ran into mike over on pbs and is talking about everything that we have done in the first three years, the president s years through these leadership through these challenging times in the Great American comeback and excited about what we can do for former years. Four more years means more jobs. Four more years means more judges. Four more years means more support for our troops. And you tell them i said it will take four more years to train that. [applause] i love her and enthusiasm. And thank you for that. Thank you for being here today. I just encourage you to leave her today with renewed faith. When you turn on the Television Anymore nothing anything different for the last three and a half years. One Network Exception its been ongoing negativity, ongoing criticism, right . That this president has turned his face like flint against the wind everyday and i can tell you firsthand my friend your president has never stopped fighting to keep the promises he made and in the people of iowa and nebraska and now its your turn to fight for him. [applause] its on. Go tell your neighbors and friends although we talked about here today. Tell them that the road to victory rolls right through iowa and rolls right to nebraska and do your part to make sure to elect those great allies in reelect those great allies who made possible for us to move our nation forward as we have all these days but if you are ever bending the knee from time to time over the next 33 days i encourage you to do that to. I love that ancient verse, it a few. The two those who are called by his name will humble themselves and pray you will do like he has always done. Throughout much more challenging time in the life of our nation and the good that tells us words if we want to hear today. You will hear from heaven and he will heal this land. [applause] this one nation under god with liberty and justice for all. [cheers and applause] so thank you again. I look forward to it a quick hello before i slip away. Im off to des moines and then back to washington. I leave here with renewed confidence, i really do. A pastor friend of mine said everybody is under encouraged and you have been an encouragement to me and i cant wait to tell the president about the enthusiasm i saw here carter lake and i just know if youll carry the same enthusiasm all across iowa and all across nebraska in the next 33 days if you work like it all depends on us and you pray upon whom it does depend i know we are going to make iowa and nebraska more prosperous than ever before. We are going to make iowa and nebraska safer than ever before. And with david young Randy Feenstra and oppressed his own don bacon and the new republican majority in congress and senator joni ernst with a renewed republican majority in the United States senate [applause] with President Donald Trump in the white house for four more years and with gods grace we are going to make America Great again, again. [applause] thank you very much. God bless you and god bless america. He told this that the virus would disappear. That a miracle is coming. Joe biden said we need a plan. A national strategy. A president who is willing to lead, willing to be a role model for our nation. He said no miracle is coming. We think we might be a short time away from when america will produce the first safe and effective Coronavirus Vaccine and we will begin to deliver it to the American People the moment it is approved.
