Ms. Carnahan it was ready to deliver four more years in eight days . Who is ready to keep America Great and reelect president donald j. Trump and Vice President mike pence . If we take aber, quick walk down memory lane, that for years ago in 2016, our president came within 1. 5 points or 44,000 votes of defeating Hillary Clinton and winning the state. He did something impressive also that year, up here on the iron range he won by 15 points [applause] ms. Carnahan then, we came back later, and because of all of you, we elected congressman pete and flipped the seat. Eight days we sit, until the election, and it is within reach. We can make history, we can flip our town electoral votes for the first time and deliver them to a republican candidate for president since 1972.

I will also say this, because unfortunately our wonderful republican candidate for u. S. Senate, jason lewis, could not be here he had an unfortunate health incident.

[cheers] ladies and gentlemen, mike lindau. Hello, everyone. It seems like a short four years ago, you know, i grew up and spent my whole life in minnesota. Was born and raised here. When i came out of addiction, i thought, what did i miss . What is going on in minnesota . We had been taken out of our schools, we had a long home are elon homar, the trojan horse they came in with a trojan horse, but she is not even a trojan horse, she tells it like it is. She does not like israel, she doesnt like the usa. I have to put up with it with the businesses, what they really want, and it is not good. I told ing was the president said, will we win minnesota . I said, i give you my word we will win minnesota. We have something the other states do not have, we are ground zero for this election. The things that happen in minnesota here, with the terrible decisions by our governor and by the mayor of minneapolis, manifested into some of the worst riots across our country and world, and we know now that what terrible political can do to us in our daily lives. And we have a great president that has the gift of problemsolution, but he knows what it will manifest to. What he did here to bring the iron range back. Let me tell you what kind of president we have. About two months ago, i was up in duluth and i was doing an event and i talked to the loggers. They had all these problems. I reached out to the president , and he said, i will get that fixed. He does not wait. He takes things and he fixes them like a great businessman. Id right now in minnesota, look at i come from a path of addiction. Lets take addiction. Do you know in minnesota, this is where the terrible things they have done in order to lets take minneapolis, when they asked for money from the government to help, they said, ok, we will give you money, but you will take god out of the equation. It starts in minnesota, these crazy ideas that come out of the cities. We have to stop that. We have to stop it now. The president , when you talk of addiction, i was talking to the president , there are 30 states that have it in the books, that in order to be a counselor for an addict, you have to go to college for four years, you have to do 35 sit ups, all these crazy things. I want somebody that has been there, done that, and can lead me out of addiction. Have the right passion. And starting in our state, we have so many great things here going on. For the First Time Ever i mean, growing up, so many democrats. I did a commercial about a month ago in the cities with a bunch of democrats that were flipping to republican. We yet, you probably see it, see it all over, they gave money back to minnesota for our election to run this commercial. But i asked, it was organic, and i asked, why are you switching . Most of them said, the democratic ship has sailed. The president turned to the republican party. Rep. Kim party into the common sense party. Decisions for the people. That is why this is the most important election in history. And we are. And minnesota is going to go red, starting with you all here. Said, likennifer jennifer said, we need we need to vote all red, all the way down the ticket. I heard that the iron range was all going to vote for donald trump, but they were traditional democrats. But that ship has sailed. If you vote democrat, you would be voting for radical leadership, for a party that is no longer the Democratic Party. So you need to talk to your friends. We have eight days to get everybody that we know to get out and vote and vote right. All of our christian values, things like this, in that Party Committees democrats i interviewed, they are going all my family beliefs. The democrats say they are about family. Tina smith, she kills babies, what are you talking about . Thats insanity. And, uh, so you know. We all need to play our part in these next eight days. Get your Family Members to vote. If they need help, bring them to the polls. Get them out to vote, because this is it. We have eight days left. Minnesota is going to shock the world. Just, i am uh, i am always honor to speak to you all. One more thing, if we go red, i will run for governor in 2022. God bless you. [cheers] ladies and gentlemen, welcome your congressman. Good afternoon. It is great to be with you today. You have given me the privilege of a lifetime to serve you in the United States house of representatives. And when i go to vote, i see your faces, i see the men and women, the bluecollar men and women that built this country. I see the best of the best, and i could not be more proud to be here today to bring the Vice President to the iron range. Look where we were eight months ago, our economy was humming, it was turning on all cylinders, Small Business was moving forward, optimism was at an alltime high. And our gdp was rising, wages wr ere rising, and we were feeling the economic boom that we deserve, and it was because of the policies of donald trump and his administration. Then the pandemic hit. It came to our shores. Through no fault of our own. Through no fault of our own. We are going to deal with it. We will get through this as one nation. We are going to be stronger, more resilient and more selfreliant than we have ever been before. And i have to tell you, we have found some supply chain deficiencies in this nation. Guess who will make this rebound . Guess who is going to mine the Strategic Metals that will keep this nation independent forever the iron range is going to do that [cheers] we are so blessed to have these Critical Minerals in our earth. We are so blessed to have the iron or. Makes 85 ofthat the steel this nation makes, comes from right here, from the blood sweat and tears of the miners. Never forget that. Ofalso are on the cusp Copper Nickel mining and strategic metal mining. I was on air force one a couple weeks ago and the president signed that executive order that said the Critical Minerals will us, strategic emergency for because no longer will we allow foreign nations to hold up our opportunities to present ourselves as the mining independence in the world. Right now, we can do that. In this world,e the iron range is going to do that and we are not going to hold or rather, we will not allow china, russia or india to hold our dependence in the palm of their hands. We will own it. Made in america, manufactured in america, and mined in america. Right here on the iron range. You, this is an opportunity. Minnesotas eighth Congressional District is a Strategic Mineral district around the world. Not only do we have mining, but we have manufacturing, logging and timber that we need to harvest from federal land. The logging industry is a 10 billion industry across this great state, and we cannot forget that. We have to make sure that our loggers can harvest that wood when the trees are mature. I have spoken firstly to the president and the Vice President , they understand the value of minnesota and the heart of men and women, the bluecollar workers of minnesota, that help move this country forward. And nobody is going to call the state of minnesota flyover country, is that right . We are hardy people. We are loving people. We are caring people. And the bottom line is, when i am in d. C. , i think about all of you. I think about the wonderful opportunity we have to help carry President Trump and his administrations message across the world. For the men and women that served in our military, this president and his administration will always have your back. To the men and women who served, who gave up for this great nation, i want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. [cheers] and to the men and women in Law Enforcement, you will not have a bigger champion in the United States congress than pete stauber. Wear thend women who blue and brown, the answer the call to service, that keep our streets safe, deserve our admiration, trust and respect. And they are going to get that from this member of congress, an unwavering commitment to Law Enforcement, law and order, safe streets and safe communities. In just a couple minutes, the Vice President of the United States will land here. He will talk about the importance of our region, the importance of our economy, the importance of our manufacturing, the importance of safe streets, safe communities, the importance of our logging industry. Doing are on the cusp of something that has never been done before here on the range. We have talked about reigniting the bluecollar boom. We are not only going to explained the expand iron ore, we are going to enter kel and dominate in mining across this world. Guys knowclusion, you that in minnesota it might be cold, it might be a little snowy, but you know what, i tell my good friends in washington, its just another monday for minnesotans.

In a state of that victory to the white house. So florida is a very divided state. Politically, we have got diversity, diverse ethnic diverse and ethnic ways, economically as well as demographically. Older voters, Younger Voters, people who are, you know, divided by both democratic and republican. So as florida goes, the nation will go. Host we have seen voting problems in the state of florida. Is the stage ready . Guest i think it is ready. It is remarkable, because we have this legacy of, you know, 20 years ago with, um, recounts. So recrafted and updating its voting system, that the state is very prepared for what we are seeing as kind of a record surge in early voting turnout. It has been going pretty smoothly. Host what changes were made . Guest for one thing, we have made it a statewide standard for, what is the standard for recount, so age county does not independently decide when the recount or how to do the recount, so those are uniform across the state. We have also moved, like many other states in the nation, to emphasize early voting and make it much more accessible. And vote by mail in florida is something that the republicans have been pushing for the last two decades. And, as a result, we now have a vote by mail system that many people are comfortable with. And because of that, we have seen just record numbers of vote by mail ballots cast already, over 5. 7 Million People have already voted, as of this morning. Host what percentage or how does that compare to the 2016 turnout . Guest it is already exceeding and we have a week left its already exceeding how many votes were cast in the 2016 election. We had about 10 million votes cast in 2016 and i think we are on course to match that, if not, exceed it this cycle. Host take a look my 29 electoral votes are at stake. The population is 21. 5 million, the Unemployment Rate is 7. 6 . We want to invite viewers to join in on the conversation. If you are supporting the trump ticket, call 2027488001. Iden, 2027488000 if you are undecided, call in at 2027488002. Isrida residents, your line 2027488003. Your opportunity to get the latest on the state of florida. Maryellen, how will the early votes be counted, when will they be counted and when or how where the election day votes be counted . The advantage has of allowing there is a state law that allows a supervisors of ,lections to start counting opening and processing all vote by mail ballots already. Than 4there are more million votes already cast in vote by mail, and those supervisors are starting to review them, make sure that the signatures match, give the voters time to repair the signature if it does not match, and they are put into the voting the counting machines. They will announce those as soon as the polls close in florida. It is because we have two time zones. We have a central time zone as well as an eastern time zone, so one hour later. So 8 00 p. M. Eastern time is when we will see the first results out of florida on election night. Because we have so many early , ies, we will know quickly think, how florida is going. That . Why do you say guest because the number of votes that will be counted and posted by the supervisors. In most counties, the first votes posted are the ones that have already been cast either by vote by mail or early voting. And those results will be the ones that show up immediately or first on the tallies. Voting thatn person happened on tuesday, those will come in increasing to buy precinct commander supervisors will be updating those numbers. I spoke to the secretary of state, and she says she thinks that florida will have a preliminary result, definitely before midnight. Host Mary Ellen Clouse is our guest this morning, here to take your questions and comments about the battleground state of florida. Lets go to gary. Caller yes, i believe that florida is a great state, but what happened four years ago, with hillary and trump, i believe that the same thing is going to happen. Everybody says there was a conspiracy with russia and the deleted votes, votes not counted, votes destroyed. I do not want to see that happen again this year. To clarified, there has been no evidence that any votes were changed. They were two counties in thatda that it is clear they were able to get into the supervisors of elections, the electronic system, but nothing the vote tabulation system is completely separated, so that system, there is no evidence of that that was interfered with in any way. Since then, there has been a great deal of investment put into making sure that they are able to stop any potential hacks. Theyhave cybersecurity and have assured us that they have added layers of protection. What is of bigger concern, and i do not know that they still have isandle on this, but that that when i talk to the secretary of state, she is concerned that conspiracy , youies, misinformation anw, the social media taking unproven accusation and giving it life, those are the things that are being used to suppress the voters, discouraging them from trusting the vote, and that what many Election Officials in the state, their nonpartisan positions and i have talked to many of them, some republicans and some democrat, and they are both confident that the system secure, but they are more concerned about what are the outside forces that could lead to disinformation. We had an example last week where there were emails being thatto democratic voters had the tone of intimidation. They said they were being sent by the proud boys, which is an extremist organization. But there was no evidence that they were connected to the proud boys. Department justice came to the conclusion that it was iran and russia that were behind these emails. And they were trying to intimidate democratic voters. As soon as they announced that they had discovered that those , emails stopped. But that is the kind of thing i think there is more concerned about. Host james in winter haven, florida. Reporting the president. Good morning. Caller how are you doing . Host go ahead. Caller i am definitely supporting trump. As far as the insurance goes, i would like to know if mr. Biden has obamacare. I am just curious. Host mary ellen, the issue of health care. Where does that rate for florida voters . Guest it is very interesting. Florida is one of the states that has not expanded medicaid, that allowed it to take more money from the federal government in order to pay for the uninsured. Yet, floridas uninsured has grown significantly. In the past four years, there are more people in florida who have signed up for obamacare in some communities than in other places around the country that even have expanded medicaid to cover their Health Insurance. So, there really is an uninsured issue that is of concern to a lot of people in florida. It is one of the top issues that voters indicate is important to them. Of course, in the midst of this pandemic, there are so many people who are now facing Health Consequences of getting covid or knowing someone in their family who has. And so Health Insurance remains a top priority. As far as your viewers question, i dont really know what joe bidens Health Insurance situation is. He has 78 years old. He probably has a good medicare plan. I cant give you an answer on that anymore specifically. Host thats alright. We will go next to jeanpierre in washington, d. C. , supporting Vice President joe biden. Caller listen, i was trying to organize my thoughts about why i support biden and not trump, and it has been a staple of trying to figure this stuff out. I am going to keep it simple. First, my values. I have been taught to be polite in public. And in the public arena, when doing my business. I have been taught to follow the law. I have been taught that there are certain ways our government works. And these entire four years have run counter to that. At every single point. Just from proud boys to Supreme Court nominations to health care, just doing things that just for the heck of doing them because cruelty is the point. And at that is why i am voting against donald trump. I like joe biden, i have always liked joe biden, he will be a better president , but i have got to be honest, i am voting against trump. And i want to know how many people in florida are actually as angry about trump as i am have been . Host lets take that question. Host mary ellen . Guest all i can tell you is where the polls are going. As i mentioned, florida has a very diverse population. In the last several months, biden has narrowly led donald trump. But the most interesting thing is what this looks like. And if there has been this donald trump won with a coalition in florida that looked like a lot of older voters supporting him in enormous numbers. He had a 17 point advantage over in 2016 amongn voters over age 65. And those were primarily white voters. That has changed in a significant way this cycle. While his lead in the most recent polls is closer to one point or three points, trumps lead in the age group he has , lost. He has lost the advantage, the dominant advantage that he had. They ares are saying unhappy with some of the points that the viewer raised. They do not like how he handles things. They think his personality and style is something they cant support. And then the other thing that is significant among this age group is that they are very concerned about the way he has handled the covid pandemic. As the most vulnerable group, many people are very unhappy and concerned that he is not doing what he should be doing. So, that is a reflection on one group. Now, there is another coalition that Hillary Clinton actually did better in that donald trump is doing better in this time around, latino voters. And it is very interesting to watch the polls. Four years ago, trump, with his antiimmigration position, antagonized many latino voters and many chose to either stay home or not vote for trump. Hillary clinton had a larger margin in that group than donald trump. This time, it is very clear that the president has been able to consolidate those latino voters. That is a very interesting thing to watch. It has especially been true among cubanamericans in florida who are traditionally republicans. What is interesting is that many younger cubans, and another group, puerto rican men, seem to have been aligning with the president. Host how big are those two groups . What percentage of the electorate . Guest the latino vote, im sorry i do not have the number right off the top of my head, but i think it is about 20 . Im not sure. Host ballpark . Guest yeah. Host what about the senior vote . Guest i dont remember that either. Sorry. Host will move on to jason. Sorry to put you on the spot. Guest within the age groups, i think they are about 35 of the electorate. They are the most reliable voters. There are many voters and many a ge groups, but the ones that show up and can be counted on are senior voters. I think they are about 35 . Host jason in gilroy, california. Supporting the president. Good morning. Caller just want to say hello. Ive got a question. Host we are listening. i was wondering if you guys thought that trump did enough for the people to get reelected . Host that is a question for florida voters. Maryellen, what are you hearing . The reasonsf donald trump continues to have so much support in florida is because of his what people saw as an improvement in the economy. Florida was going great, we had , like the rest of the nation, record unemployment numbers in terms of low unemployment. And the economy was really picking up steam. When the pandemic hit, of course, that went into the tank. While jobsas been have improved in florida, they still have a long way to go. We still have unemployment numbers, as you mentioned earlier almost in the double , digits. Some parts of the state are far worse than others. And at this is the thing that worries people. And this is the thing that worries people. It does not appear as if the pandemic is under control in florida. It is certainly not true across the nation. While our numbers are not rising as fast as other places, we are watching as there are increases in covid cases. I think one of the things that is relatively concerning is that the number of people who are testing positive remains at about 10 . That is a pretty high percentage. And that is not a sign that we have it contained in any way. Host we will go to jimmy in kentucky, who is supporting the biden ticket. Caller how are you doing . I would like to say of mr. Trump, he is down in florida a couple of days ago, asking for the seniors to vote. He didnt let the seniors know eight months ago how serious this virus was. He comes back eight months later [indiscernible] we are slow, but not that slow. If the democrats lose florida, i would not feel bad because democrats you know, god. He might not want all this mess thats getting overlooked on joe biden. Why does joe biden have to you know, god is host ok. Maryellen, lets talk about the state of florida and the different areas, how they vote. Guest we have got urban areas that are traditionally blue and getting bluer. So, they are more inclined to vote for joe biden. Rural areas, and many senior retirement communities, are red. They tended to vote for donald trump. So, it is like clockwork. We can predict why certain candidates are going to certain places based on the propensity of where voters are going. One of the places to watch is the i4 corridor. And that is the stretch between orlando and tampa. And that is an area of the state that as that region votes, most of the state will follow. It is a pretty good barometer. Right now, that looks as though that region is aligning with joe biden. Another thing we are keeping an eye on is in south florida, as i mentioned, the cuban vote in miami and latino vote within that group, there is a lot of trump support there. That is why we have seen the president and the Vice President come a couple of times in the last two weeks. But the president has also made a point to arrive in the villages. This is a Massive Retirement community in Central Florida. It is a little outside of orlando. Three counties big. Enormous amount of republicans. Many of those are reliable voters. The president and Vice President have been there almost every week. The governor was there last friday. Then you move to the panhandle, another very reliable read part ed part of the state. That is where the military bases are. We will continue to see more visitors from the Trump Campaign come to those areas. Meanwhile in south florida, joe biden has announced this morning he is going to be coming to broward and tampa on thursday. Again, the goal of these campaigns is to probably not persuade any of the undecided voters. There are very few of them left, as i am sure your viewers have observed. Instead, their goal is to make sure people dont stay at home, that they get to the polls, fill out a ballot and show up. Because this is a state that is going to be determined i the by the margins. It is going to be very narrow. It is likely to be as close as 2016. And 113,000 votes, people who stay home would make a big difference. As i mentioned there are other , parts of the state that are considered blue or red. The northeast jacksonville area is a pretty mixed area. They tend to be more red, but there is an urban core within the jacksonville region that is democrat. In southwest florida, the stretch from sarasota to naples is also pretty reliably red. Host we will go to miguel in albuquerque, new mexico. Supporting the president. Good morning. Caller good morning. Mago from new mexico miguel from new mexico. I am a new republican, i was previously democrat. One thing i have noticed in regards to the Democratic Party in florida, joe biden was in florida to pander to the latino community. He played desposito on his phone. In terms of policy, i have not heard much. How do they feel joe biden is going to handle the latino vote . Being latino in a prominently blue state, my vote doesnt really count. Lets put it that way. But being in florida i know it , is going to be major. Guest you are right. I think that the latino vote could be very important this cycle. It is an interesting divide. There are Many Puerto Ricans in Central Florida who have come to florida, and they dont have to become a citizen. They already are a citizen. All they do is register to vote. Group, many of them dont register with either party. No party decided to be affiliate, so their vote is up for grabs. Likee watching as it looks more latino women who are puerto rican are supporting joe biden and the men are supporting donald trump. All playse how that out. While immigration was a very important platform for the president for years ago, we are not hearing him talk much about that. I think part of the reason is he realizes many latinos are supporting him and i dont know what your reason is, but what we are hearing as they are very supportive of his economic policies. Sense they could prosper more under a Trump Administration and they have a what the Democratic Party we hear is less patriotic or they are more critical of where as manys a nation where of these latino voters or children of immigrants have embraced this idea that this is a proud country and they are proud to be americans and they see more of that with donald trump. Those are very intangible things that are not policy related and i have to admit im surprised at how little discussion we have heard about the president S Immigration policies. We have not heard him talk a lot about building the wall. He mentions it in his stump speeches, but it is very diminished in terms of relevance, it seems. Host to new york, trisha and hawthorne, new york. You are undecided . Im undecided because when it comes down to is basically what do people want . If they are going to vote for joe biden, they are looking at joe biden as how can they prosper from him . If they are looking at trump, they are looking at the same thing. Its just divide and conquer and lets out there about joe biden and his son and accepting millions of dollars in bribes and whats out there with donald trump and what he has done with his life, this divide and conquer and coronavirus and wear a mask and dont wear a mask and is playing to what crowd in actuality, how are we going to survive . Way are you leaning and why . Caller you said other end of course i have a choice for other. For christte in because we have turned our backs on god and the lord and thats why the world is the way it is. At whatne taken a look has gone on around the rest of the world . All the rallies and protests and you talk about coronavirus and whats going on with coronavirus and now biden is making such a big thing about how hes going to make everybody wear masks. Aboutu look at the truth the studies of masks and they dont do anything. Host im going to leave it there. We havent discussed is the youth vote in florida. Could it make a difference . This is an interesting dynamic as well and i mentioned young voters in florida traditionally dont show up at the polls that much. This election cycle, there were 3. 5 million new voters that 2016. Ered since one point one million were between the ages of 18 and 35. Ist is especially remarkable these Younger Voters are showing up in early voting, vote by mail and ballots cast in unprecedented numbers. With one week left in the overign, they are up 44 where they were at the end of 2016. These Younger Voters are much more energized. We are seeing theres a lot of the progressive setp funded by tom steyer up shop in 2016 and never left and has been building a voters andmong young trying to get them to get energized and get out the vote. There she stood in the seat playingt now by free ] i took her home to my bed she , whats your game baby are you trying to put me in shame i said dont go too fast dont you think that love can last. She said love, lord above, now youre trying to trick me in love now babyht v. P. Pence well hello minnesota. Congressman stoppard, state party chair jennifer con hand, to alld mike lindell my fellow Hardy Minnesotans from near and far, its great to be back in the north state. Thank you for coming out on this blustery day. Crowd,king out at this the pretty obvious to me iron range is trump country. And im here for one reason and one reason only. Minnesota and america need for more years of president donald in the white house. Are just eight days away from another great victory all across america. Being outou all for today. It really is great. I dont even know if there are haves there, but if you one, you can find it. I know i speak on behalf of everybody here when i say our hearts and our prayers today are with former congressman jason lewis. He was supposed to be with us today. You may have heard. He was rushed to the hospital this morning, but i was just came out of ast Successful Surgery and his doctors are optimistic that he will be discharged in the next couple of days. [cheers and applause] prayers for a quick recovery. We know he is going to fight through this and we know hes going to continue fighting for minnesota as the next great senator from this state. Lets hear it for jason lewis, everybody. [cheers and applause] what a great guy. Four years ago, a movement was born. A movement of everyday americans. Rom every walk of life here in the iron range, you believe we could be strong again. You believe we could be prosper again. You said yes to President Donald Trump in 2016 and i know minnesota is going to say yes to four more years of President Donald Trump 2020. [cheers and applause] and it is because of what we have all accomplish together the confidence you have placed in this president for years ago. Just think about it four years ago, we inherited a military hollowed out by devastating budget cuts, an economy that was struggling to break out of the slowest recovery since the great depression. Terrorism was on the rise around the world and we witnessed a steady assault on our most cherished values. We in three short years, we secured economy, our border, supported Law Enforcement, stood for life and liberty and the constitution of the United States. [cheers and applause] and all starts with our National Defense. After years of reckless budget cuts under the last administration, budget cuts when joe biden was president that literally left a large portion of our air force, aircraft were grounded when we took office and those airplanes were being used as spare parts to keep the rest of our air force in the air. Under President Donald Trump, those days are over. [cheers and applause] signed therump has largest investment in our National Defense since todays ronald reagan. You, asve to tell youre Vice President , as the proud father of the United States marine and the fatherinlaw of a United States navy pilot, i can attest we are finally giving our soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, the coast guard the resources they need to defend this nation. Trump willonald always put our American Military first. Its not just those who serve in our military, but i know there are many veterans in the crowd today. If you wore the uniform of the United States, would you mind putting your hands in the air so we can say thank you one more time. Lets hear it for our veterans. Thank you for your service. When joe bidenr was Vice President , we went through years of scandals at the v. A. Literally some of americas greatest veterans were perishing in waiting lines. Perishing waiting to go into va hospital. President donald trump signed the most sweeping reforms of the v. A. In 50 years. We fired 3000 v. A. Employees that were not giving our veterans the care you earned in the uniform of the United States. Veterans choice is now available for every veteran in america. So it has been about standing with those who serve. When it comes to this economy, joe bident years when and the last president tried to taxandspend and bail us back to a better economy, president created the greatest economy in American History. Its amazing to think and you have to tell your neighbors and friends this. Its amazing to think in the midst of a Global Pandemic joe biden wants to raise taxes by 4 trillion. [booing] he said it on television again last night. President trump, we cut taxes across the board for working families and businesses large and small. We rolled back more federal redtape than any administration in American History. We fought for free and fair trade, unleashed American Energy and in just three short years, businesses large and small created more than 7 million good paid jobs, including 70,000 jobs right here in the state of minnesota. [cheers and applause] isnt that incredible . I love those gloved collapse. Glovedurself a round of collapse, will you . You are the toughest people ive seen in a while. God bless you. Economy, what meant so much to the president and me is that wages were rising at their fastest pace in 10 years. But they were rising most rapidly for hardworking bluecollar americans, the forgotten men and women of america were forgotten no more. Here in the iron range, you know the iron has been mind here in northern minnesota for more than makeears, used to everything that makes america strong, our ships, our cars, everything. Appliances, washing machines, our bridges and skyscrapers sore because of the iron that comes out of the iron range. [cheers and applause] you will remember joe biden and the last president tried their best to literally shut down mining in the iron range. [booing] told aar, Joe Biden Group of coal miners that they ought to learn to code. Wastruth is when joe biden Vice President , they withdrew the mineral rights of the largest untapped copper and nickel reserves right here in minnesota. From the beginning, President Donald Trump has been fighting to open up the iron range. [cheers and applause] this president went straight to work, not just to protect mining, to protect the way of life that has defined this great part of the country for so many years. The president took executive action, declared the reduction of minerals is sentient to essential to the nation. I dont have to tell you, the president came to toulouse, signed an executive order that expands good paying jobs in the industry, cuts burdensome regulation and eliminates permitting delays. You areiron range, going to be more prosperous than ever before with four more years of President Donald Trump in the white house. Miners and your families across the iron range, you are going term over what joe biden tried to do last time he was spending time in the white house. I need all of you to tell your neighbors and friends, for your way of life, for the boundless prosperity of the iron range and for strength for all of american industry, we need four more years of President Donald Trump in the white house. [chanting four more years close quote four more years was quote] to. Pence when it comes trade, so important here in minnesota. You know President Donald Trump has been fighting for american jobs and American Workers from day one. When we took office, though, half of our National Trade deficit was with communist china. Joe biden has been a cheerleader for coming as china all along. He said the rise of china was a positive development and he scoffed last year at the idea that china was a competitor of the United States. Trump,resident donald those days are over. That theina on notice era of economic surrender is over. Chinas steel on to fight for american jobs and workers and we are going to stand strong on china until they open up their market and respect what we make and export in this country once and for all. Closer to home, north of the border here in canada and south of the border in mexico. You all remember nafta. Out here in the heartland, we saw in the 25 years since nafta was signed, we saw factories literally shuttered, didnt we. In there Community District i represented in congress for 12 years. Literally overnight saw General Motors shutter a factory that had employed thousands of people for generations. Democrats for the longest time like to talk about how bad nafta was but never lifted a finger to do anything about it. But when the man who wrote the art of the deal got to the white house, minnesota and america got a way better deal. Nafta is gone and the United States, mexico, canada deal is here to stay. And you all deserve to know joe bidens running mate, Kamala Harris [booing] senatorsne of only 10 to vote against the usmca. She said it did not go far enough on climate change. Her radicals put environmental agenda ahead of american jobs and American Workers. But i will make you a promise. With four more years of President Donald Trump white house, we are always going to put american jobs and American Workers first when it comes to interNational Trade. [applause] allon health care, you remember the disaster of obama care, right . All the lies of obama care . Canou like your doctor, you keep them. That wasnt true. If you like your Health Insurance, you can keep it, not true. They said Health Insurance premiums are going to go down. When we took office, Health Insurance premiums under obamacare had doubled. Joe biden, the other night in that president ial debate how well did President Trump do in that debate, am i right . [cheers and applause] i mean, come on. Joe biden says in that president ial debate that not one Single Person lost their private insurance under obamacare. Mean come on, man. 6 million americans lost their health care when obamacare took effect. Thatoe biden has a plan worstliterally import the part of Bernie Sanders medicare for all into the heart of obama care. He calls it a public option. It sounds kind of fancy, right . What it is is he is literally going to import government run Health Insurance and drop it right in the middle of obamacare to compete against private Health Insurance. Drop a publicou option into the middle of obamacare, you are going to threaten the Health Insurance of 180 million americans and you will set our nation on a path, of in evitable path socialized medicine. Take it to the bank. We haveesident trump, been fixing whats broken in health care in america. We repealed the individual mandate. We lowered the cost of Health Insurance for Small Businesses, we cut the cost of prescription to trywe passed right medicare premium plans by 34 and with President Donald Trump in the white house, we will lower the cost of Health Insurance without growing the size of government and america will never be a socialist country. [cheers and applause] the iron range, we have a choice to make. When it comes to this economy. I think its a choice between a trump recovery and a biden depression. Recent study, totally nonpartisan study just came out and said joe bidens policies would cost 5 million american jobs and reduce the average Household Income of americans by 6,500 a year. Todayer you leave here and everything that remains the next eight days, i need you to find a neighbor, Family Member at worship or work and ask them this question i was out at the range airport and i ran into mike and he told me to ask you one question. Who do you really think is going to bring this economy all the way back . Who spent 47tician years in washington raising taxes, growing government, waiving the right waving the white flag or a proven job creator who will keep cutting taxes and put american jobs and American Workers first . Thats why we need four more years of President Donald Trump in the white house. [chanting four more years] v. P. Pence v. P. Pence thats great. Thank you. Its been about security and prosperity, but also about the safety and security of our families in our communities and i couldnt be more proud to be Vice President to a president who has stood every day with the men and women who serve in Law Enforcement at every level in this country. [applause] all my heroes wore uniforms. Its really true. Like one of the strongest allies of Law Enforcement in the congress of the United States, i dont have to tell you a Police Officer in duluth for 20 years. Off dutywas shot while by a criminal with multiple past offenses and threatened at point bank pointblank range, but at the grace of god, he survived and continued to serve. He answered the call not long andto take off that uniform put on the little badge congressman ware on capitol hill and minnesota and america will always be grateful for the service of congressman pete stauber. [cheers and applause] lets hear it for pete stauber, everybody. This man is a champion of Law Enforcement and law and order. [chanting pete] petepence i was for before it was cool. Hes doing an incredible job. What pete and i know, the president also knows and you know. The men and women who serve in Law Enforcement are some of the best people in this country and they deserve the respect of every american every day. Minnesota, letn excuselear theres no for what happened to george floyd and justice will be served. But theres also no excuse for the violence that ensued in the streets of minneapolis. President trump and i will always support the right of americans to peacefully protest, but rioting and looting is not peaceful protest. Burning businesses is not free speech. For months, all joe biden talked about as you saw the mayhem in minneapolis, all joe biden talked about was peaceful protesters, remember . Businessesou watched in that community and cities around the country burned to the ground. Not long ago, i was in minneapolis and met an incredible africanamerican woman. She started a salon in downtown and itolis 35 years ago became a center of the community. About how after the killing of george floyd, she watched in horror on television as the violent protesters came closer and closer and closer to her little salon until they burned it to the ground. Men and women, you deserve to know, joe biden would double down on the policies that have led to violence in our cities. When you start to pull back and support for those who protect and serve, you only embolden those who would do harm to our families and our communities. Joe biden justifies it all by saying in his words, america is systemically racist. [booing] he said it again last night on tv. He and Kamala Harris say often they believe Police Officers have a implicit bias against minorities. When joe biden was asked if he would support cutting for Law Enforcement, he said yes. Absolutely. Under President Donald Trump, with pete stubborn in the congress, i will make you a promise, we are not going to defund the police, not now, not ever. We are going to back the blue and we are going to back the blue for four more years. You we are going to have law and order in every city in every state in this nation for every american of every race and creed and color, so help us god. It has been about law and order and standing with those who protect and serve. But it has also been about strengthening the foundation of our liberties. Im proud to report to you today few hours, there will be more. Has appointed more than 230 conservatives to our court at every level. They are all men and women who will uphold the godgiven liberties enshrined in our constitution like the freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. [cheers and applause] last month, we rightly paused as a nation to honor the life and service of the late Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg. Over,he memorials were President Trump fulfilled his duty under the constitution when he nominated a brilliant woman tod conservative the Supreme Court of the United States, judge Amy Coney Barrett. Isnt she great . I dont just say that because shes from indiana. She is just amazing. The job she did in front of the Senate Judiciary committee did you love it when she held up that pad of paper . Great moment. It really was. We are coming up on a successful moment in her story and in our history. The president and i said early on that this time judge barrett needed to be given a respectful confirmation. But we had reason to be concerned. Yall remember two years ago . Judge barrett was nominated to the court of appeals. The leading democrat on the Judiciary Committee said she was judgened because of barretts sincere catholic faith. Seriously. The dogma lives loudly within you. Elites have been attacking judge barrett and her face and convictions ever since. Ive got news for the democrats and their friends in hollywood. That dogma lives loudly in me. That dogma lives loudly in you. And the right to live and work and worship according to the dictates of our faith lives loudly in the constitution of the United States of america. [applause] as Vice President , i am president of the senate. So when we are done, i am going to head back to washington dc in case they need my vote. [cheers and applause] but even if they dont, i will make a prediction. Judge the day is over, Amy Coney Barrett is going to be justice Amy Coney Barrett. [cheers and applause] having a president that would appoint conservatives to our out, threethe day is conservatives to the Supreme Court has made all the difference, but so has it made a difference to have a republican majority in the United States senate. It is one more reason why we need minnesota to send jason lewis to a larger republican majority in the United States senate. It really is about protecting what we cherish most. Our life, our liberties, our pursuit of happiness. All those things in our founding documents that are at the very heart of america. You deserve to know here across the iron range, when joe biden was Vice President , we saw a steady assault on the religious freedom of americans of every faith. Under the last administration, who hauled a group of nuns had taken a vow of poverty to live a life serving the poor, they hauled a group of nuns into federal court to force them to compromise their faith to live under the mandates of obamacare. [booing] , i think trump President Trump has been the greatest champion of people of faith ever to sit in the oval office. From early in this administration, we restored the conscience rights of doctors and teachers and president donald thep ended the assault on Little Sisters of the poor and the Supreme Court voted 72 to make it permanent. Under this president , we will always stand for the religious freedom of every american of every faith, so help us god. Finally, i couldnt be more president to ae president who stands without apology for the sanctity of human life. [cheers and applause] joe biden and, harris support taxpayer funding of abortion all the way up to the moment of birth and they are calling for record increases in funding for abortion at home and abroad. For years was one of those democrats who even though he said he supported abortion rights always voted for what was called the Hyde Amendment that prevents taxpayer dollars from being used to fund abortion. But not long ago, he abandoned that historic position and now supports taxpayer funding of abortion. Trump, we reinstated the policy to make sure not one penny of american tax dollars goes to promote abortion around the world. We stood strong for the Hyde Amendment to protect taxpayers from seeing their dollars used to promote abortion and President Donald Trump signed a bill that allows states across america to defund planned parenthood. Theident donald trump is most prolife president in American History and we are going to stand for the right to life for four more years. [cheers and applause] years, west three rebuild our military, revived our economy stood for law and order, liberty, and life. None of that would have been possible, but for the strong and the desotosupport of delegation to congress. Right after you reelect President Donald Trump, we need to send congressman pete stauber ina new Republican Majority Congress that retires nancy pelosi once and for all. [cheers and applause] its amazing. We did that in 2010. Pelosi andnancy weve got to do it again in 2020. Its time. We were look at what able to accomplish with a Republican House and Republican Senate in those first few years, theres only one way you can describe it. Years, we made America Great again. Its true. And the20 arrived coronavirus struck from china. But before the first documented case of Community Spread in the United States, President Trump did what no american president had ever done. He suspended all travel from china, the second largest economy in the world. He put that health of america first. The time said that was the ofo. Xenophobic. As he wrote a couple of days before that that the closing off of travel during a Global Pandemic would make worse. Joe biden got it wrong. President trump got it right. I can tell you as the head of the White House Coronavirus task force the last eight months, President Trumps decision to shut off all travel from china saved untold american lives. It brought us in valuable time to stand up the greatest National Mobilization since world war ii. Its true. We reinvented testing. We do more testing now than any country in the world by far. Manufacture and distribution, including Many Companies here, of masks, ppe, and ventilators that have literally save lives. No american that required a ventilator was denied a ventilator. No one who required an icu bed has ever been denied in icu bed. I make you a promise with that same energy and ingenuity, the work of the president , the work of Health Care Providers and doctors and nurses, we will continue to work our hearts out until the day comes when we put this coronavirus in the past. We will develop the medicines and therapeutics that are saving lives. We believe before the end of this year, under operation warp speed, we will have the first Coronavirus Vaccine and tens of millions of doses to distribute to the American People. But we will keep protecting the vulnerable. We will keep saving lives and developing those lifesaving medicines. Talks abouten shutting our economy down again, under President Donald Trump, we are opening up america. [applause] in just the last five months, with that Strong Foundation we poured in those first three years and with the unprecedented that congressman stopper supported for families and businesses in the paycheck protection program, im proud to her port after we lost 22 million jobs, weve seen 11 and a half million americans go back to work, including almost 190,000 people right here in minnesota. Gone through time and testing that i expect you came out in the cold today because you know we are coming to a time for choosing. The choice has never been clearer. The stakes have never been higher. When you look at their agenda of higher taxes, open borders, socialized medicine, the green the police,funding packing the courts, abortion on demand, its clear. Joe biden would be nothing more than a trojan horse for the radical left. Joe biden says democracy is on the ballot. Recovery iseconomic on the ballot. I think law and order are on the ballot. Think there are things much more foundational to our country on the ballot as well. This election, its not going to be so much whether america ends up more liberal or more conservative, more republican or more democrat, more red or more blue, i think the choice in this election is whether america remains america. Whether we are going to chart a course, build on the ideals and principles of freedom andall the liberties traditions of faith and family in this great nation. Or whether we are going to allow joe biden and the radical left steer our nation on a path toward more government, less freedom, socialism and american decline. Heart, forfrom my all the ideals that have always made America Great, we need to decide right here and right now, that joe biden will never be president of the United States. We are going to reelect President Donald Trump for four more years. [cheers and applause] [chanting four more years] v. P. Pence it really is great to be with all of you. But i have to tell you as a hearty midwesterner, this just feels like home. Thank you. This is great. Give yourselves and other gloved round of applause for coming out. I love the sound of that. I dont know if you saw the president on 60 minutes last night didnt he do great . He was asked how he would describe his supporters. He and i were talking later and i told him his answer touched my heart. Saiddent trump last night they are people that love our country. See love for america and support for this president all across this cold tarmac. So thank you very much. [cheers and applause] i didnt know the president that well when he called up and asked me to join the ticket a couple of years ago. I met him a couple of times. I had seen him on tv. [laughter] peoplean tell you some think we are a little bit different. [laughter] actually, we have become very close friends. Ive served at his side every single day. We spend hours together on the days we are both at the white house and when we are traveling as we are today, he in pennsylvania, me here in minnesota, we talk early and talk late and usually talk early and late. President donald trump is the real deal. He means and means what he says. Firsthand that against unrelenting opposition and resistance by the democratic against washington, unrelenting attacks by their allies in the national press, there has never been a day gone by that President Trump hasnt turned his face like flint against the wind and fought to keep the promises he made to the people of this country. Now its our turn to fight for him. [cheers and applause] need you to bring it. Bring all this enthusiasm. Bring the heat. And go talk to your neighbors and friends. Tell them up four more years is going to mean. Say i was out of the airport and ran into mike. Said four more years means more jobs in the iron range and all over minnesota. Four more years means more judges who will defend our liberties. Four more years means more support for our police and more support for our troops and you tell him i said its going to take at least four more years to drain that swamp. [cheers and applause] to do a few things as you leave here today. If you are taking notes. Foremost, the election is eight days away. Startedting has already here in minnesota. If you havent done it already, i need you to vote, minnesota. Vote to reelect President Donald Trump for four more years. Job one. The president cast his vote on saturday down in florida.

Tell them about the passion you feel for all we have been able country strengthen this , to stand up for the people of the iron range and for your way of life. Just tell all your neighbors and friends what we can do. I will always believe the greatest form of media is not your tv networks comments on your big newspapers, its not even your social media. It is wordofmouth. Minnesota,close in right . Last time around. Because people were talking to each other. We made history in this country in 2016 because the American People in a very real sense we could be strong again, new we could be prosperous again, they saw the vision and Leadership Qualities in donald trump to bring america back and they told their neighbors and friends, youve got to do it again. You got to deliver this time again just like you did. Forward, i would encourage you to have faith as you speak to your neighbors and friends. Have faith in the American People. I will always believe a careful study of history shows every time the American People were given a clear choice between a future of more freedom and less freedom, they choose more freedom every single time. Have faith in the American People, and the boundless capacity of the American People to overcome any challenge and choose the path built on our ideals. Joe biden says we are headed toward dark days. But President Trump and i know the best days for america are yet to come. [cheers and applause] finally, as you have faith in our country and in our ideals, i encourage you to have that other kind of faith as well. Have faith that when we stand , we defend it, we make his work on this earth our very own. The bible says we are the bible says where the spirit of the lord is, there is freedom. That means freedom always wins. In this one nation, under god, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. So have faith. Have faith, minnesota. Us do all we of need to do over the next eight you vote with a friend, tell somebody and have faith in the American People and in him who has ever guided the destiny of this great nation. I know we are going to have a great victory all across minnesota and all across america. And with your support and your , i knowand your prayers we are going to make minnesota and america stronger than ever before. We are going to make minnesota and america and the iron range more prosperous than ever before. Minnesotang to make and america more united than ever before.

He will bring you live coverage on cspan beginning at 4 30 eastern. This morning, white house chief of staff, mark meadows, spoke to reporters to clarify comments he made over the weekend about the Trump Administration not trying to control the coronavirus pandemic. Im i look forward to being back with you tomorrow morning. Earlys early us but morning outside my apartment in virginia. There was an incident unrelated to me, shots were fired. I ended up having to shelterinplace. Involved the officers happened,fe and as it it was 5 45 this morning. We ended up having delayed starts. I look forward to being back i had toand others, cancel my tv hits this morning based on that. With arlington police, it was actually an event that was unrelated to me but with shots fired in close proximity to my apartment. We are excited and very hopeful for one of the most that ivejudges gotten to know on a personal basis. That this might happen on the center for this afternoon. Happens, we expect a wearing in later this evening if all goes well. There was an independent mind very wellqualified individual, it was a great testimony to those that stay engaged and love and admire the rule of law. That is an independent body. Looksk whenever anybody thoseto the voting booth, senators that will confirm judges that would largely uphold the rule of law, that obviously breaks down sometimes along partisan lines. Sadly, it should not. Should just look at the qualifications but in this particular case, i think there is no denying, based on the hearing that we had that judge wellqualified candidate and deserves confirmation. [indiscernible] senator mark marrows mark
