2005 video was released in which he made lewd comments about women. The Campaign Said that mr. Trump would instead be preparing for his next debate against Hillary Clinton that takes place tomorrow in st. Louis. Vice president ial candidate mike pence, who was going to take his place, also did not ppear at this event. [applause] hey there, how are you doing . Thank you all for coming. Every year, paul ryan has a fallfest. Every year people come to the fall post say their appreciation and their support for paul. Not no more. Ok then ok, if youre not going to be for the whole ticket. Im for donald trump. Why dont you listen to what i have to say rather than interrupting me . Theres something about courtesy involved here. Paul ryan is the top elected leader of the Republican Party nationally. He is the leader of the conservative republicans in the ouse of representatives. And for throughout his service in the congress of the United States, he has been an idea person, figuring out how we can do things to change this country around. And he is continuing to do that. [cheers] as speaker, he has announced a very comprehensive program that House Republicans will pass if we are returned to the majority in involvement it is detailed. It is not vague. It isnt b. S. It is something that shows what republicans will do contrasted to what democrats will do. We need to have a president of the listen to me, lease. Ok . Be respectful. We are asking people to be respectful in this campaign. Theres an awful lot of lack of that. Clean up your act, ok . President Hillary Clinton will eto this plan. That is why we cannot have a president Hillary Clinton sitting in the white house. She is more of the same. She is a third term for barack obama, except a little bit more to the left. And this country doesnt have to move a little bit more to the left. Now let me say what this election is all about. It is not about individuals. Its about issues. Its about ideas. And its about the direction the country should take. And the biggest thing that is up in this election is the fact that the next president of the United States will appoint probably three or four new justices of the Supreme Court. President Hillary Clinton ill appoint three or four more ruth bader ginsburgs. That will last for a generation. So this election is not about the next four years because a Supreme Court will frustrate anything any republican president will do simply by judicial fiat. And we have seen the four obama and clinton appointees to the Supreme Court go right down the line on the ultraleft agenda, not only on social issues but they have rubber stamped every Regulatory Overreach that has come out of the obama administration. That costs our country jobs, it and us less competitive, if we want to bring jobs back from overseas, we need to have a competitive, less regulated, less taxed business community, because we cant compete against the chinas and the mexicos and the indias we add all these costs of regulations and tacks on top of everything else. That is what is going on in this election. We need support not just for the top of the ticket, but for the republicans who are running for the United States senate and the United States house of representatives. And one of the top targets to the democrats is our own senator ron johnson. Weve got to send him back to the d. C. [applause] and just remember, we had 18 years of an ineffective Russ Feingold. Audience boo he brags about the fact that he is a supporter of the bill of rights, and then he passed the mccainfeingold bill, which has been declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court several times for infringing upon every one of our First Amendment rights of freedom of speech and freedom of political expression. Russ feingold, despite what he says, has ripped up the bill of ights. Lets not give him a chance to rip it up still further. Our constitution means something. The framers did the right thing. James madisons prose was great. He not only wrote the constitution, but he also wrote the bill of rights. So the stakes in this election are bigger than any of us as individuals, us as candidates or incumbent officeholders, you as individual voters. It is the country that is at stake. Ets not let america down. So thank you all for coming. Thank you for supporting paul ryan and ron johnson. God bless you all and god bless america. [applause] support trump thank you all. Thank you all for coming. Appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thanks, thanks. You all know im right . Im pretty good with numbers. Not the normal way i start off a speech but i was doing a debate prep. I have a debate on friday with that same senator feingold that jay was talking about. Id love, to trust me, so he can make 8,000 a lecture, right . Let me tell you whats happened since i brad the senate in terms of just government spending. I dont think many of you know his. 2011, which was the last year under russ fine gold and the democrats controlled the senate. Discretionary budget was you know what it was a week or so ago . 1. 172. We have decreased Discretionary Spending by 175 billion. Decrease in the part of the budget we actually control. Give yourself some credit for electing fiscal conservatives. The bad news is mandatory spending, the stuff is out of control. The stuff thats going to mortgage your childrens and grandchildrens much. Thats up 19 . Thats the problem. Thats the fiscal cliff that we have to be concerned about. Let me put it in percentages. 2011, thats the last budgets the democrats were in control of. Discretionary spending was 37 of the budget. Mandatory spending was 63 . Last year Discretionary Spending was only 30 . Mandatory spending had increased to 70 . A few more years it will be 25 and 75 . The federal government is completely out of control. Were getting really immune to these big numbers. Had president obamas 2012 budget been enacted, if we had followed their path we would have spent about 20 trillion over the last five years. Instead we spent about 18 trillion. Our debt would be 2 trillion dollars higher had we voted in that budge. Im throwing a lot of numbers at you but the fact of the matter is, election matter a whole lot. Its not like fingernails on a chalkboard when i hear team people say oh, theres no difference between democrats and republicans. Theres a tremendous amount of difference. Im running against senator feingold and lets face it, like every other democrat, hes got a lot of plans and all of his plans involve growing government. And when you grow goverbingts you know what else you do . You take more out of your paycheck. You demand more money out of hardworkinging taxpayers. Republicans, certainly from my standpoint, we want to grow the private sector, we want to leave more of your money in your pocket. Now, you also have to compare records of people. Senator fine gold was in office for 34 years. A 34year career politician. What has he got to show for it . Virtually nothing, right . I know he says hes traveled to every 72 counties. So do i. My personal best is all 72 counties in just 42 days. Its really not that big a deal. Its the easiest and most enjoyable part of the job. I had somebody comment on my facebook page, binge pigeons do that. I know hes answered that question, well, more than ron johnson did. Prove it. What he did do, he voted for a lot of bad stuff. 2 88 times he voted in favor of tax increases which proves the point his only solution is growing government and taking more of your hard earned money. He was one of the 60 deciding votes on obamacare and i saw him on mike he said the Health Care Bill really isnt as bad as some people are pretending it was. Pretend something ive gotten hundreds of letters from real people. Not pretending when their presumes premiums skyrocketed, they lost their health care as he promised they will they wouldnt and they lost access to doctors they knew and they trusted. Theres a tremendous difference between the parties. We believe the top power priority of government is national defense. Senator feingold has a plan to defeat isis. Senator feingold has a plan to defeat isis. The problem is that president obamas plan isnt working. You realize senator feingold, in 18 years, he voted against authorizing the military. But now hes got a plan to use that very same military that he did not authorize, didnt want to authorize, hes going to have them clean up the mess that he and president obama, lets face it, kind of helped create. Senator feingold is the first member of congress to recommend pulling our troops, the best among us, in iraq. It was that strategic blunder, historical portions that allowed isis to rise in what had been the ashes about canada in iraq. That was a blunder. Senator feingold was a first of coffee that blunder. We need to understand that. The first to call for that blunder. We need to understand that. A party that actually wants the private sector to leave more money in your park it your pocket versus the one that wants to control your lives. That is what this election is about. This is what haunts me. You might remember the little speech president obama gave right before he got elected. He said, in five days, we will fundamentally transform america. He meant it. Hes been doing it. Lesson, i am chairman of homeland security. I understand that we have a lot problems in this nation. We have a lot of challenges. We have many threats. We have to solve those problems, address them, admit that we have them. We have to call rss by what its name is, islamic terror. Kol isis by what its name is come islamic terror. We can prevent that fundamental transformation of america from being cemented in the very fabric of the society. This is a are shot. We wont be able to repeal obamacare the next time. This is our shot. Again, thats what haunts me. But let me tell you what gives me hope. Weve all seen it. After 9 11, during 9 11, weve seen the pictures, the iconic pictures of the firefighters, Police Officers who now have a target painted on their back, as they walked up those stairs to help save their fellow citizens. We have all seen a no one heard about shanksville. Do you know the passengers of flight 93, before he spoke those ironic words, took a vote to sacrifice themselves for the fellow citizens . Weve all seen the finest among us who sacrificed everything, lost their limbs. To preserve our freedom and liberty. We still in this country produce exceptional people. We are an extraordinary nation. We are a phenomenal force for good in the world. This is what this election is about. This is about saving this country. [applause] wisconsin is a firewall. Weve got to make sure the 10 electoral votes of wisconsin do not get turned over to Hillary Clinton. We need to do everything we can to win this election here in wisconsin. And what gives me hope as i look out to the crowd, talking to the folks of wisconsin, i cant think of a better group of people to shoulder that burden, to accept that challenge. So let me leave you with just a final thought. The attitude that we must take over the next 31 days, because we know what is at stake, weve seen how close these elections can be we have seen in florida, a president ial election decided by a few hanging chads. Somehow, al franken is serving a second term. These elections and this one any luck in wisconsin will be decided by a narrow, thin margin. So the attitude must take is that your own efforts, the effort you put in over the next 31 days, your time, your talent, your effort is little the effort that will save this country. Thats my attitude. That is what your attitude has to be. So got blast you god bless you. God bless your effort. And god bless america. [applause] Hillary Clinton could never pull of the stairs we have been on this thing. Ive been up and down six or seven times now. Would you just raise your hands. Lets give them an appropriate applause. Not only thanking those men and uniform, butr the keep a safe back at home, lets get a round of applause for our lawenforcement, the sheriffs department, police department, the others who risk their lives to keep us safe. Thank you. They deserve our thanks each and every day. It is great to be here. I grew up here. Hamburgers. Ip theres the dell of in group. My first job was actually right on the county line between walworth and rock county. I washed the dishes at the countryside restaurant. Then i started flipping hamburgers at mcdonalds ride on highway 50, before all that stuff came out further along the way. Every year on labor day, we would come to the well recounted fairgrounds. I can still remember watching the Demolition Derby over there. When i was a kid, my dad loved the statler brothers. We saw the statler brothers and Charley Pride in those grandstands. Great memories on the way. Its great to be here with all of you. And its one of those where, Going Forward, we want to make sure that for the memories that i had an the you had come about for our children. I got my son alex here. My other son is have is helping governor Pat Mcquarrie in south carolina. But alex is here. He is the statewide chair of the College Republicans. I see a lot of younger College Republicans with us. There is a great group of College Republicans in this state. When i think about being back here, it reminds me that for matt and for alex, for my nieces and for all the other young people like them, thats really what these elections are about. You just heard a moment about a moment ago from ron johnson. You see, in our state, it is not just about the president and the Vice President. You look at the race in the United States senate and it is about as clear as it gets. You got ron johnson, a manufacturer, who spent most of his life outside of the private sector, who understands about numbers and bottom line and ashleigh putting people to work again. Hes done a phenomenal job. Versus Russ Feingold, who, for 18 years, served in the United States senate. Remember what we did to Russ Feingold six years ago . We fired him, right . We fired senator feingold. Why . For a number of reasons, but the number one reason on that list is that he was the deciding vote for obamacare and we said back then it didnt work. And today we know it works even less. It works even less. They call it the if or double care act. But we have seen in the state the results, it doesnt work then it doesnt work for farmers. It doesnt work for families. It works for people like president obama and other liberals in washington who think it is a good idea. But its not affordable in this state. Once and fraud, we fired Russ Feingold a years ago. We dont need to send him back to the United States senate. We need a said someone we need to send someone with wisconsin values, not washington values. We need someone like ron johnson in the United States senate. [applause] you know, it is one of those where every vote is going to count. I turn on the tv i dont do it too often, thankfully, but i turn it on for the packers games and watch shows here and there. I got a tell you. It is overwhelming to me the number of ads i see from senator feingold. For all his talk, remember back in 1992 and he had that add in front of his garage where he said all these promises, and one was that he would get the majority of the money for his races from the people here wisconsin . He broke his promise. Thats what he has all those commercials. He has a people from the west coast and the east coast running those ads even though they are directly opposed to what he said he was going to do. And there tried to twist the facts, make pretend like Russ Feingold was never in the senate. He was there for 18 years. He had a chance to do something for the people of the state and he failed. And hes done nothing for the past six years except to get ready to come back and run again so he can hang out with his friends in washington instead of serving the people of wisconsin. I need your help. I appreciate the signs and i appreciate putting up signs in your yard. I appreciate those who donate to rons campaign. But i get to tell you, between now and a month from now, we need your help, going out door to door, talk to people at church, to people at work and talk to your family and friends about why we need to go out and help ron johnson. If you think you can make a difference, remember this. We found out over the years that we have never gone to a new restaurant for the first timebased solely on an ad or a flyer. We go to a new restaurant for the first time at least an ad or a fire my remind us about death or flyer might remind us why it is a good idea to go back there. You know what got us to go there . A family member, a friend or a neighbor who said this is a nice restaurant. You ought to try it out. If you can influence your family and your friends about why its important to go eat somewhere, how much more important is it to tell them who should be the United States in for the state of wisconsin, something that will have a dynamic impact on not just your future but the future of your children and your grandchildren and people all across his country. Are you are committed to go out and help ron johnson by talking to your friends and neighbors and coworkers . [applause] and then the other part we need your help on is particularly here in the state. Can these elections, there is a lot of national attention, but i want to tell you how important it is to elect people to the state assembly in the States Senate in the state of wisconsin. Before the november elections in 2010, democrats controlled every thing in the state. State assembly, state senate, governor, lieutenant governor, all the state offices but one. And remember how great things were background . Back in the beginning of 2010,. The Unemployment Rate was 9. 2 . The areas before we took office, the stimulus 3000 jobs. Called a special session. We went from 9. 2 unemployment down to 4. 2 unemployment. Weve seen the lowest and implement weve had for the past 15 plus years. You can clap for that, sure. [applause] when fact, the last time the last time we had an employment that low was march 2000 one, which may not seem that far back for some of us, but matt and alex were 21 and 22 today, the last time on a planet was that low, matt and alex were five and six years old and that with it in perspective. And it and even better, its not just that an employment is located weve had more people employed in the state of wisconsin than we have ever had before. This year, we hit an alltime high. In an alltime high. Nationally, the president talks about unemployment dipping down a little bit, one of the things they ignores the part is that is that part of the reason nationally is that the percentage of people going down is the lowest it has incensed 1977. That means a lot of people have given up. They had given up about entering the workforce. Our Labor Force Participation rate, the percentage of the people in the workforce is one of the highest in the country. We are consistently the top 10. That means when unemployed and goes down, that is because people are action working in the state. And we want to make sure more people are working in the state. If you any of you Small Business owners know that one of the challenges we have is not creating jobs, but finding enough people to fill those jobs. People with the qualifications to fill those jobs. So one of the things we put a focus on is how can we not only help trim are people in our schools and our technical colleges and our worker training programs, but Going Forward, how can we make sure theres even more people in the workforce . So we made also to changes to make it easier to create jobs and put people to work. We lowered property taxes. They are lower today than they were five years ago. We lowered income taxes. They are lower today than they were five years ago. We passed changes to make sure that we got the outofcontrol regulations and tried to do more to enforce common sense and not bureaucratic red tape. There is still more work to be done. The one of the big challenges we have is we need to have even more people enter the workforce. Today, i think about this packers windbreaker come and make a bigger football. Weve got too many people in on the sidelines and not enough people in the game. I want to tell you about one of the things that we did. Not that i did. One of the things we did in the state is say, if you are in adult who is physically and mentally capable of working, if you are physically and mentally capable of working, particularly those for dont have children in the home, if you want assistance, things like food stamps from the stake him he dont get them anymore unless you are enrolled in our job turning program and or working at least 80 hours a month, looking for work five is away, and youre able to pass a drug test in the state of wisconsin. [cheers and applause] now you can only imagine you can only imagine what the liberals in madison said when we tried to do that. Some of them are still fighting us on the drug testing in washington under the obama administration. The you can only imagine what they said. They said, governor, youre making it harder to get government assistance. I said, no, im not. I love the people of this state so much, i know there are so many jobs out there. Just last week, we so over 90,000 job openings listed on job center wisconsin. Gov. We know that there is work to be had. We are not making a harder to get government assistance. We are making it easier to get a job in the state of wisconsin. [applause] because you see that is what its all about. Here in this stage, its about wisconsin getting back to work. Its about getting this state back to work. Thats what wed done over the last five years and thats what we are going to continue to do Going Forward because, for matt and for alex and all your sons and daughters, your grandsons or your granddaughters and your nieces and your nephews, that is what the future of the state is all about. And that is why we need more members in the us only in the senate to help us along that cause. Because, you see, when i was growing up down here, i got to tell you, i dont ever remember anybody my graduating class signing my yearbook saying, scott, goodlatte becoming goodlatte becoming dependent on the government. Right good luck becoming dependent on the american government. Right . No matter who you are, we come from, what your parents did for a living, what their background was come out your zip code, if you work hard with dissemination, you live in a country. The other side thinks that the outcome should be determined by the government. We think the opportunity should be guaranteed that the outcome should be up to each and everyone of us. That is the american dream. That is alive and well here in the state of wisconsin. And with republicans in charge of your stay government, that is what it will be Going Forward. Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for your determination. God bless wisconsin. God bless america. And most of what only, god bless our young men and women in uniform. Thanks for coming out. [applause] i feel like congressman paul good to see you. Welcome to fall fest, you guys. Welcome to fall fest. Look, let me start off by saying there is a bit of an elephant in the room. And it is a troubling situation. Im serious. I put out a statement about this last night. I meant what i said and its still how i feel. But that is not what we are here to talk about today. You know what we do here at fall fest . We talk about our ideas. We talk about our solutions. We talk about our conservative principles. And we promote our candidates right here in wisconsin that are fighting for us, candidates like our senator ron johnson. [applause] you know, what matters in elections is are we giving people real choices . Seven people out of 10 people in america, seven out of 10 people in america, they dont think this country is on the right track, do they . Seven out of 10 people, they think that their kids will be worse off in this country. We have never done that before in this country. We have never given the next generation a darker future. We have always stepped up and fix the problems in front of us and our generation so that our children and grandchildren can be better off. And you know what . You know what we are doing about it in the house . You know what we are doing about it as conservatives . We are offering people a better way. We are offering solutions. Ill tell you what can last generate, we got together. We said we need to take an agenda to the country. We need to show men and women in america those seven out of 10 people, those are not just republicans and independents. Those are democrats also. They need solutions and we are offering them. Let me tell you a few things. Number one, go to best six things. Weve got to get people out of welfare and back in the workforce. Our welfare system is working. Our welfare system tells people to stand work and we needed a people back into work so they can get on the latter life, so they can reach their dreams. We are showing you exactly what welfare reform looks like. Second thing, we are not safe. You know this. You see the terrorist attacks in this country. You see what is going on overseas. We have a president , president obama that is phoning it in on national security. We have a president who has been hallowing out national security. We have exactly what it takes to rebuild our military, to secure our border, to go on offense against isis and to keep america safe. This is important. Ill tell you what and if you want to get jobs in this economy, get the federal government out of the business of micromanaging every little aspect of our lives, and our communities, bauer society, of our Small Businesses. We are losing selfgovernment in this country. Weve got this new Fourth Branch of government, unelected bureaucrats are writing our laws. Youve got this waters of usa coming from the epa telling farmers how, where, when they got to do if they want to farm. And these things dont go through congress. So here is what we are saying. All of these rules and all of these regulations that come from these unelected bureaucracies that dont know our communities, they dont know our people, the dont know our businesses, all of that has got to go through congress. It has to go through commerce for approval before goes into effect. Its a civil principle. The principle is one of our founding principles. We go now selves we govern ourselves as americans. We believe in selfgovernment. The laws that we live under in this country need to be written by us through our elected representatives, not by these unelected bureaucracies. And that is exactly what we are offering. That is exactly what we are running on. That is exactly what we are giving people. Let me tell you what. How many of you think obamacares working . I dont think he things obamacare is working either. Obamacare is failing. The Biggest Health insurance country in the world come in the country, united, they pulled out. Aetna pulled out. This thing is in a debt spiral. Premiums are going up, double every year. The duck doubles are so high, you might as will not have health insurance. We are showing you, first time in six years, republicans have an alternative. Its not just repeal, its repeal and replace obamacare with patientcentered health care so we can choose what we want for our families. More choice, more competition, lower prices. [applause] and ive got to tell you, you are not going to fix this economy, youre not going to grow jobs, you are not going to get Economic Growth and job creation if you do not scrap this passcode and reform the irs and our tax code. You need to go to better. Gop and see what our solutions are. We need to go from being seen as just an Opposition Party to being a proposition party. And that is exactly what we are doing. We are showing you, our fellow citizens, that we as republicans, that we as conservatives have answers and solutions to this countrys big problems. And i just want to tell you something. We have got a responsibility for ourselves right here in wisconsin. Weve got a responsibility right here in wisconsin. And our responsibility right here in wisconsin is to make sure that we do not send Russ Feingold to the United States senate to join the liberal progressives, giving us liberal judges. Weve got to do everything for that man and your sign, ron johnson, to make sure ron johnson is and stays and remains our United States senator. This is something that is right here within our power. This is something that we as wisconsinites need to do. So i just want to say to all of you for fall fest, thank you for coming out and supporting us. I see so many friends. I see so many people who have been out there working hard for us. Thank you so much for working for us. Thank you so much. I want to ask ron johnson and scott walker to come out here. We got remembered ron johnson is the man we have to put forth. With conservatives are offering solutions. This is a we what we will do here in wisconsin. We will deliver our electoral votes. We will fight for our conservatives. And we will offer this country solution than meet the moment for what it is. Thank you for coming out of office, everybody. Thank is so much, you guys. God bless you all. Thank you. Appreciate it. [applause] [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, which is responsible for its caption content and accuracy. Visit ncicap.
