Ladies and gentlemen, the Vice President of the United States, mike pence [applause] v. P. Pence hello, North Carolina [applause] v. P. Pence wow. What a beautiful day. Thank you for coming out. Lieutenant governor forrest, gop chairman michael whatley, all of you who have been with us every step of the way, it is great to be back in the tar heel state. [applause] v. P. Pence we are all here for one reason and one reason only and that is that North Carolina and america need four more years of President Donald Trump in the white house. [applause] v. P. Pence it is on, North Carolina and the road to victory goes right through the tar heel state [applause] v. P. Pence we need the people of this freedomloving state to do just what you did in 2016. On november 3, we need North Carolina to show america that this is trump country. [applause] v. P. Pence it really is great to be with you all. Thank you for coming out on such a beautiful day. Give yourselves a round of applause. [applause] v. P. Pence it is a special privilege for me today to be with a man who personifies North Carolina. I have gotten to know him over the last several years. He is a husband, father, a man of integrity and faith. He left a successful Business Career here in North Carolina to become lieutenant governor. He has been a champion for North Carolinas jobs, School Choice and the values that make this state great. For our families, the future of North Carolina, and for opening up North Carolina again, we need you to vote to make dan forrest the next governor of North Carolina. [applause] v. P. Pence we are also joined today by his wonderful wife, alice, and olivia. They will make a great first family. Lets hear it again for the family. [applause] v. P. Pence four years ago, you believed we could be strong again, here in North Carolina you believed we could be prosperous again. You said yes to President Donald Trump in 2016, and looking out at this crowd, i know North Carolina will say yes to four more years of President Donald Trump in 2020. And it is because of what we have done, and all we have accomplished over the past four years. Think about it, four years ago we inherited a military, hollowed out by devastating budget cuts. An economy struggling to break out of the slowest recovery since the great depression. Terrorism on the rise, and we witnessed a steady assault on our most cherished values. In three short years, we rebuilt our military. We revived our economy, we secured our border, supported Law Enforcement, stood for life, liberty, and the constitution of the United States. On the economy, on the economy, i have to tell you. After joe biden spent the previous eight years trying to tax, spend, and fail us bail us back to a growing economy, President Trump created the greatest economy in American History, and we are doing it again. I mean, i do not know if you saw, how about those new gdp numbers that came out this week . [applause] the American Economy grew by more than 33 in the Third Quarter. It shattered any previous record by far, the Great American comeback is on. And, with four more years of President Donald Trump, we will bring the economy back bigger and better than ever before. [shouting four more years] as President Trump said yesterday, the Third Quarter gdp was the biggest in history. He said, not even close. The next year will be our best year ever. [applause] this Great American comeback, i think the president would first to say is the testament to the character, resilience, and strength of the american people, but it is also a tribute to a president and to our allies in the congress who worked to create the greatest economy the world has ever known. It is amazing to think, as we stand here three days before an election that joe biden actually wants to raise taxes by 4 trillion in the midst of a Global Pandemic. He has a 2 trillion perversion of the green new deal. And he wants the put a public option in the middle of obamacare, and reimpose the taxes of obamacare on the american people. President trump, by contrast, we cut taxes across the board for working families and businesses. We rolled back more federal regulation than any administration in history. We fought for free and fair trade, unleashed American Energy, and in three short years, businesses created 7 million good paying jobs including 250,000 jobs in the tar heel state. In those first three years, North Carolina saw its Unemployment Rate since the Great Recession and the highest homeownership ever. In a state where manufacturing is so important, i always feel right at home in North Carolina, because it reminds me of the Hoosier State where i am from. Where i come from we do two things well, we make and grow things. When joe biden was Vice President , america lost 200,000 manufacturing jobs. And, in the last president who i see is back on the campaign trail [laughter] remember the last president . He said the manufacturing jobs that they lost was never coming back. Remember he asked what magic wand do you have . We did not need a magic wand. We just needed President Donald Trump in the white house. 500,000 manufacturing jobs created in just three years, including 13,000 right here in North Carolina. Manufacturing is back. I am telling you, and trade is so important to what we make and grow. But, you all also deserve to know that when we took office, half of our International Trade deficit was with one country, communist china. And, joe biden has been a cheerleader for communist china all along the way. President trump of china on notice, he said the era of economic surrender is over. We imposed tariffs on china and we will keep Standing Firm until they open their markets to what we make and grow, and respect to the private Property Rights of americans. [chanting usa] i like her. You know, closer to home, you all remember nafta, right . That where i come from we saw on the 25 years from when nafta was signed into law, we saw thousands of factories shattered and jobs move south of the border. Four years ago after we won the election, i went back to indiana and heard that a company that had been in indiana for 75 years was shutting their doors and moving south. Democrats like joe biden likes to spend a lot of time complaining about nafta, saying how bad it was, they never lifted a finger to do anything about it. But when the man who wrote the art of the deal got to the oval office, North Carolina and america got a way better deal. Nafta is gone, and the usmca is a huge win for North Carolina and america. I mean, there are estimates that we will sell another 2 billion more in agricultural goods alone to mexico and canada. And not just joe biden, senator warrens record of doing nothing, but you should know something about his running mate. I had a little debate with Kamala Harris in Salt Lake City a couple of weeks back. Thank you. It is quite a night. But, i tried to point out then that Kamala Harris was one of 10 senators to vote against the usmca. I mean, here is a trade deal that puts our manufacturers first and agriculture first, a huge win for North Carolina. Kamala harris said that it did not go far enough on climate change. Kamala harris put her radical environmental agenda ahead of North Carolina jobs and North Carolina farmers. I promise you that President Donald Trump and i will put North Carolina workers and farmers first. And, on energy, and on energy, joe biden and Kamala Harris spent the whole last year talking about how they want to ban fracking and abolish fossil fuels. They started to say different and the president is in pennsylvania all day, so they have been going to pennsylvania and they have been starting to say, no, we are not, and this and that. I mean, and then in the president ial debate last week, how well did President Trump do in the president ial debate everybody, wasnt that great . How good was that . In the president ial debate, if you watched it all the way to the end, they get to talking about energy and joe biden says we need to transition from the oil industry. And the president said, that is a big statement. And, the truth is they have been talking about abolishing fossil fuels and establishing their radical green new deal. Evers they are saying now, that is what they are planning on doing. President donald trump has been a champion for American Energy from day one, and now we are a net exporter of energy for the first time in 70 years. [applause] what a choice. Men and women of North Carolina, i really think the choice we face this tuesday is a choice between a trump boom, and a biden depression. There was a recent study that came out, nonpartisan, that said joe bidens economic policies, for trillion dollar tax increase and to trillion dollar green new deal, new taxes backing obamacare with their socialized medicine will cost americans 5 million jobs and reduce your Household Income by 6,500 a year. [booing] after you leave here today, every hour between now and when the polls close in North Carolina, you run into somebody who has not made a decision yet, i got one question for you to ask them, just one . Say i was out of out at the airport and i ran into mike. [applause] and, he said if i could ask you one question this is what i would ask you, look them in the eye and say, as americans are starting to move our country forward, who do you really think can bring this economy all the way back . Just ask them that. Who do you really think can bring the American Economy all the way back and then some in 2021 . A career politician who spent 47 years in washington, d. C. Raising taxes, growing government, stifling our economy under regulation and economic surrender on trade, or a proven job creator who is driving the greatest economic recovery in American History . You tell them, for this Great American comeback we need four more years of President Donald Trump in the white house. [applause] [chanting four more years] so, it is about prosperity. I think our economic recovery is on the ballot, i really do. But, of course, security is the foundation of our prosperity. And, it all starts with National Defense. And here in North Carolina, home of fort bragg. I do not think i need to tell all the patriotic people gathered here today that, under the last administration you saw budget cuts that impacted our readiness, it is true. When we took office i heard there was about one third of the aircraft in our air force kept on the ground to be used as spare parts to keep other aircraft in the air. Democrats in washington are talking this week about massive cuts in defense spending to fund their Big Government programs. [booing] i am proud to report that not just your Vice President , but as the proud father of a United States marine [applause] and, i have an unworthy soninlaw that is a navy pilot currently deployed. Under President Donald Trump, i can tell you that we have seen the largest investment in our National Defense since the days of ronald reagan. We are finally giving our soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and coast guard the support they need to defend this nation. And, with that renewed american strength, we have stood with our allies and stood up to our enemies. Speaking of our allies, you know four president s in a row made a promise to our most cherished ally, but it was President Donald Trump who kept his word and moved the American Embassy to jerusalem, the capital of the state of israel. And, for the first time in 25 years, three arab nations have recognized israels right to exist. We stood with our allies. With american strength, and last year our armed forces captured the last inch of territory under the black flag of the isis caliphate, and took out their leader without one american casualty, and the iranian general responsible for the death of hundreds of our servicemembers Qasem Solemani is gone. I do not know if youve heard about it, the news broke on your way here, last night, u. S. Navy seals rescued an american taken captive in niger a couple of days ago. The u. S. Citizen is safe, and no military personnel were injured in the operation. [applause] the armed forces of the United States of america are the greatest force for good in the history of the world. [applause] [chanting usa] so, we have stood with those who serve and their families and we have also stood strong with all of you who have worn the uniform of the United States. In this great crowd i expect there is an awful lot of men and women who have served in our armed forces. If you want to just raise your hand in the air, would you give us an opportunity to say thank you for your service one more time . Thank you for your service. Thank you for your service. [applause] thank you for our freedom. Thank you. [applause] when joe biden was Vice President , you all remember, we saw years of scandal at the v. A. That shocked the conscience of the nation. We literally had veterans who were dying, waiting to receive the care at v. A. Hospitals that they earned in the uniform of the United States. Under President Donald Trump, those days are over. We signed the most sweeping reform of the v. A. In 50 years. We fired 3000 employees that were not giving veterans the care that they earned and veterans choice is now available for every veteran in america. And, when it comes to law order, i could not be more proud to serve alongside a president who has stood every day with the men and women who serve on the thin blue line at dutch of Law Enforcement and we always will. You know, when i was growing up in a small town in indiana we used to drive up to chicago, where my parents were from, over the holidays. We would go to my grandparents home, me and my three brothers would stand in the living room when my own cool would come out dressed for work. Wearing the uniform of the Chicago Police department, that blue uniform, badge, side arm, and me and my three brothers would look up in awe. All of my heroes wear uniforms. [applause] i know what you know, the men and women in lawenforcement are some of the best people in this country and they deserve the respect of every american every day. Let us hear it for our Law Enforcement that are with us today. Can you show them how much you appreciate all they do to protect and serve our families . [applause] we are going to back the blue. You know, joe biden and his running mate say often that america is systemically racist. And, they explain it in part that they believe that Law Enforcement officers of every background have a implicit bias against minorities. When joe biden was asked if he would support cutting funding for Law Enforcement, he said yes, absolutely. Kamala harris praised the mayor of los angeles for cutting 150 million out of the lapds budget. Let me make you a promise, people of North Carolina and america, with four more years of President Donald Trump in the white house, we are not going to defund the police, not now or not ever. We are going to back at the blue for four more years. You all know, we do not have to choose between supporting Law Enforcement and our africanamerican neighbors, or other minorities or families who live in our major cities. We have done both for the past four years and will continue to do both. We 4000 new Police Officers on the street. Violence broke out in our cities this program we launched operation legend and seen the arrest of 2500 violent offenders in cities across america. And, at the same time, in those first three years, we had the lowest unemployment ever recorded for africanamericans. We fought for educational choice for families across this nation. We signed historically black colleges and universities their biggest funding ever. We passed criminal Justice Reform and created 8000 opportunity zones, bringing jobs and opportunities to major cities. We are going to support Law Enforcement, and support our africanamerican community, and we are going to do it for four more years. [applause] [chanting four more years] so, law and order is really about standing with those who protect and serve. But, it is also about strengthening the foundations of the rule of law. I am proud to report, with the support of the people of North Carolina in 2016, we have already appointed more than 220 conservatives to our federal courts at every level, and they are all men and women of integrity who will uphold the godgiven liberties enshrined in our constitution like the freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. 220 judges, and more counting, and that includes justice neil gorsuch, Justice Brett kavanaugh, and Justice Amy Coney barrett. [applause] isnt she great . How much did you love it when she held up that piece of paper . All these senators got stacks of papers in front of them, what did you bring . Nothing. I will tell you, she will be an incredible justice on the Supreme Court. She is emblematic of all of those that we have been able to appoint to our courts. It is a legacy of really strengthening the foundations under our liberties, it is true. President trump kept aware that he gave to the people of North Carolina in appointing strict constructional lists will not legislate from the bench. And of that wouldve been possible without the support of both senators from North Carolina. So, right after you reelect President Donald Trump for four more years, we need North Carolina to send senator thom tillis back to the United States senate for six more years. [applause] because, this is really about protecting our liberties. And, the courts are the vanguard of our liberties. Upholding all that is enshrined in the founding documents in the heart of the american people. Because when joe biden was Vice President , our liberties and most cherished values were under assault. When joe biden was Vice President , the freedom of religion was under steady assault by the federal government. The rights of doctors and nurses was eroded. Religious charities had their conscious rights compromised, and joe biden, in the last administration, called a group of nuns who had taken a vow of poverty to help the underserved community, hauled them into court to force them to compromise their faith. [booing] and, heal under the mandates of obamacare. And if you doubt that this intolerance is broadbased and the Democratic Party, the leading democrat on the judiciary committee, two years ago, when Amy Coney Barrett was being considered for the court of appeals said that they were concerned about judge barretts catholic faith because she said the dogma lives loudly within you. And, hollywood elites started to ridicule Amy Coney Barretts faith ever since. Well, i have news for the democrats in washington and their friends in hollywood, that dogma lives loudly in me. That dogma lives loudly in you. And, the right to live, work, and worship according to the dictates of our faith lives loudly in the constitution of the United States of america. [applause] under President Donald Trump we have stood strong for the freedom of religion. We have freed up the pulpits of churches and places of worship across the country. We restored the conscience rights of doctors, nurses, and religious charities. President donald trump ended the assault on the Little Sisters of the poor and the Supreme Court made it permanent. Under President Donald Trump we will defend the freedom of religion of every american of every faith so help us god. And, with regard to values. Where joe biden and Kamala Harris support taxpayer funding of abortion all the way up to the moment aboard of birth, i could not be more proud to serve alongside a president who stands without apology for the sanctity of human life. [applause] so, it is amazing to think what we accomplished in the first three years, and the choice that we face. Our first three years we rebuild our military, revive our economy, stood for law, order, liberties, and life. None of that wouldve been possible without the strong and inconsistent support of North Carolinas republicans in congress. It is true. So, right after you reelect President Donald Trump, right after you send dan forrest to the Governors Office, and reelect senator thom tillis to the senate, we need you to send all of North Carolinas republican congressmen and women to a new republican majority in the house and retire nancy pelosi once and for all. [applause] out. You know, when you look at what we were able to accomplished with a Republican House and senate in the first two years, there is only one way you can describe it, in three short years, with your support we made America Great again. [applause] and then, 2020 arrived, and the coronavirus struck from china. Before the first case of Community Spread anywhere in this country, President Donald Trump did what no american president has ever done, suspended all travel from china, the second largest economy in the world. President trump with the help of america first. Joe biden said at the time that was xenophobic, and said it was racist. He said it was hysterical, and that banning travel during a Global Pandemic would make things worse. But joe biden got it wrong. President trump got it right. I can tell you, as the head of the White House Coronavirus task force, his decision to shut down all travel from china saved untold american lives because it bought us time to stand up greatest National Mobilization since world war ii. It is true. We reinvented testing, we saw to the manufacture and distribution of billions of supplies of ppe to our incredible doctors and nurses. We went to work on medicines and therapeutics that are saving lives even as we speak. And, as i stand here today, we are just a short time away, before the end of this year of having the first safe Coronavirus Vaccine and tens of millions of doses for the american people. And, as we continue to contend with this pandemic, we see cases arising in communities around the country, i want to promise each and everyone of you that we will continue to move heaven and earth to make sure that doctors and nurses have all the supplies and resources they need to give any member of your family the level of care that we would want a member of our family to have. [applause] we are going to keep protecting the vulnerable, keep saving lives, we will keep developing saving medicines until we reach the day that we put this coronavirus in the past with a vaccine, and under President Donald Trump, we are opening up america again. [applause] it is amazing to think, amazing to think after losing 20 2 million jobs at the height of this Global Pandemic, in the last five months alone, on the foundation that we poured in the first three years in the unprecedented relief efforts that the president secured for families and businesses from the congress, we have already seen 11. 5 million americans go back to work including 320,000 people right here in the tar heel state. We are opening up america. And, the North Carolina economy is rolling back. But to open up america again, we need four more years of President Donald Trump in the white house, and to open up North Carolina, we need dan forrest in the governors mansion. [chanting run forrest run] i love that, how about win, forrest, win . Let us hear it for dan forrest. He will go out there. He will bring North Carolina all the way back. The truth is, for all the progress we have made in the last five months, joe biden is talking about shutting down our economy again. [booing] he is. A couple of days ago we actually heard that several European Countries are starting lockdowns, so you can bet that joe biden will lock down the American Economy if he gets into the white house. Your schools are going to be closed again, churches will be closed again, and Small Businesses shuttered. You know, right at the moment, the American Economy is coming back and getting back on our feet. Right at the moment that we are making extraordinary progress with lifesaving medicines and on the verge of a new vaccine, joe biden in august told a reporter that he would shut it down. Joe biden says we are in for a long, dark winter. Under President Trump, we are going to distribute the vaccine, defeat the virus, open up america, and the best is yet to come. [applause] we have gone through a time of testing. But we are coming for a time for choosing. We have three more days to win four more years. [applause] and i think you know the choice has never been clear. The stakes have never been higher. When you look at their agenda, higher taxes, open borders, socialized medicine, abortion on demand, a green new deal, defunding police, it is clear, joe biden will be a trojan horse for the radical left. I mean, i saw in the newspapers that Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are angling for cabinet positions. Now, joe biden says that democracy is on the ballot. Well, i think our economic recovery is on the ballot. I think law and order are on the ballot. I also think this thing is far more foundational to the country that are on the ballot. In this election i think it is not going to be whether america ends up more republican or democrat, more liberal or conservative, more red or blue. I think the choice in this election is whether america remains america. [applause] it is whether we are going to chart a course for our children and ran grandchildren, build on our Great American heritage of faith and family, and freedom, and patriotism, and limited government, and individual responsibility, or whether we will let joe biden and the Democratic Party surrender to the radical left, shut down our economy, topple our heritage of freedom and traditional values. And, send america on an inevitable path to socialism, and decline. So, men and women of North Carolina, let me say from my heart, for everything that has always made this country exceptional and great, for the freedom that heroes through the generations have fought to defend, 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. [chanting four more years] it is that important. It is that real, North Carolina. I appreciate you all coming out today. I want to thank you for the honor of coming in hearing me out. You know, when the president called me four years ago to join his ticket, i said yes in a heartbeat. [applause] because, i knew he had the vision and Leadership Qualities to bring america all the way back. Now, some people think we are a little bit different. But actually, i can tell you, we have become close friends. We speak every day we are traveling, like we did this morning and spent hours together when we are both at the white house. And i want to tell all of you, here in North Carolina, firsthand, i have been there when the cameras are off, and the bright lights are off. When nobody is looking. And, i can assure you, against overwhelming resistance and obstruction by the democrats in washington, against the most unfair and unrelenting attacks by the National Media that i have ever seen in my lifetime. There has never been a day gone by that my friend, your president has not gotten up, turned his face like flint against the wind and fought to keep the promises that he made to the people of North Carolina. Now it is our turn to fight for him. It is on, North Carolina. We need you to bring it. We have three more days. The fight for america, to let freedom ring throughout our land, and it is going to take all of us. Before i leave here i have a couple of things i would encourage you to do. And all that remains between now and when the polls close in the tar heel state. First and foremost, i need you to vote, North Carolina. Vote reelect President Donald Trump to the white house. I heard on the way here that today is the last day to vote early, and North Carolina. So after we get on here, you can go down to the Wilson County board of elections, 112 douglas street east. They are open until 3 00. Plenty of time to vote to reelect President Donald Trump for four more years. [applause] so, get it done, leave from here, and remember, friends do not let friends vote alone. Bring a neighbor, a coworker, and vote to reelect President Donald Trump for four more years. [applause] you know, those that get the most votes when, right . So we need you to vote. Secondly, after you vote with a friend, i encourage you to do two more things. First of them is just go tell somebody. Tell somebody why you came out on this beautiful saturday to hear this president s Vice President. Tell them why you feel so passionately about what youve done as a country. All that we have accomplished in the first three years under this president s steady leadership and the challenging year in my lifetime. Tell them about the choice that we face, and what we owe to our children and grandchildren to preserve. And i do not know if we saw, we were on 60 minutes the other night. But the president got this question in his interview, which was not a friendly interview. But, he gets a question in the interview where the reporter said so, how would you describe your supporters . Without hesitation President Trump said they are people who love our country. [applause] so, go out and tell your neighbors and friends about your love for this country, and that we need a president who loves america, and loves our freedom for four more years. [applause] finally, in these challenging times, i would encourage you to have faith. Have faith in america and the boundless capacity of the people of america to overcome any challenge, and have that other kind of faith. If you are inclined, as we are at the pence house, to bow the head and bend the knee, i would encourage you. Three days until election day, a good day to pray for america. Pray for our families who have suffered loss, for the doctors and nurses caring for those struggling. Pray for those who have not gotten back to work or back to school yet. Pray for our military, at home and abroad, and all of those who protect and serve. And pray for every freedom loving american that we will do, in our time, all that we can to preserve our freedom for ourselves and our posterity. And, when you pray, pray with confidence. In those ancient words that americans have clung to and much more challenging times, that if his people who are called by his name will humble themselves and pray and turn, that he will do like he has always done in the long and storied history of this nation. He will hear from heaven, and he will heal this land. [applause] this one nation, under god, indivisible, with liberty, and justice for all, so pray for america. Pray for all of the american people. It will make a difference. And i am just absolutely confident seeing all of your shining faces today that if all of us do all that we need to do, to vote, to speak out, and to pray, that we will have a great victory, all across North Carolina and all across america. [applause] and with senator thom tillis in a renewed republican majority in the United States senate, with North Carolinas republican delegation in a new republican majority in the house of representatives, with dan forrest in the Governors Office [applause] with President Trump in the white house [applause] and, with gods help, we will make North Carolina and america more prosperous and secure than ever before. We will make North Carolina and america more united than ever before. And we will make America Great again. Again. Thank you all very much. God bless you, god bless america. Now let us go get it done, North Carolina. The sun is coming up over new york city, bus driver in a traffic jam. Staring at the bank in her rearview mirror, looking at the plan.
