A story of you getting involved in politics. I know you will be standing and cheering and all of that. When mike and i were dating, ago, hes about 37 years told me that he wanted to run for congress, someday in the far future. Got married, he went and asked the county chairman, what should i do if i want to run for congress and represent my hometown in 20 or 30 years . The guy said, run for congress. The best way to get prepared to run for congress is to run. We decided that we are going to do this. We ran for congress in 1988. We decided to run on the theme of faith, family, and freedom. [applause] and we lost. [laughter] we were young back then. Two years went by. We are going to do this again and 1990. We are going to run on faith, family, and freedom. [applause] and we lost. Know, navye, you this was our idea, and may be a was not gods calling on our life. We built our dream home and started our family. Mike started a radio show that was all over the state of indiana. I started a watercolor business. We were very comfortable. Usually when god puts her life in a blender. That is what happened to us. 2000, we felt a calling on our lives to run. Mica said that the seat he would run for is open. He said lets ride. We did. He faith,on the theme of family and freedom. , and we won. From 2000 to 2012, unless there was a delay in the flights, we Work Together on sundays and we worshiped together as a family. Mike would go back and forth to indiana all the time. On sundays, we were together as a family. The principles of freedom and the United States congress. Highestto the third position in the house of the representatives. Hill and come the toour sons lacrosse game go a violin lesson. Or he would go and see audrey in a school play. We go to the hill and said on the steps of the capital and have tacos. He made family a priority back then. 2012, we decided that it was time to go home to indiana, and mike ran for governor. Faith,on the theme of family, and freedom. And we want. We won. Mike was the governor of indiana. Four years later, we were getting to run for reelection. When we were doing that, somebody called and had another idea for us. And after we had met with president and melania and had time to figure out what they to do, what they wanted to do the president called and this is , what he said. Mike, its going to be great. Ill bet you can hear him saying that cant you . Mike said, well if theres a question there the answer is yes. We ran again on the theme of faith, family, and freedom. And for four years President Donald Trump has been fighting for your faith, your family and your freedom, yes. [applause] and somebody else has been standing right next to him. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome the Vice President of the United States, mike pence. [applause] hello arizona man ill tell you what its , great to be with all of you today. To congressman david swygert, congresswoman Debbie Lesko Jane jane and jason back and all two the men and women here, fellow americans from near and far its great to be back in the , grand canyon state. [applause] and ive got to tell you, its a special joy to be here with the marine corps mom, a champion of military families. She teaches at a christian school, and you just heard firsthand how blessed i am to be married to 35 years for to the wonderful karen pence. Would you thank our second lady one more time . She is doing an amazing job for america. Are excited to be here in arizona today. We are here for one reason and one reason only. And america need four more years of President Donald Trump in the white house. It is on, arizona. Away from another great victory for the American People. In the road for victory runs right through arizona. [applause] is great to be with all of you. Thank you for coming out here in the cool and breezy arizona desert. [cheering and applause] our son is stationed at the air force base yuma, arizona and we are proud of him. [cheering and applause] karen and i just got back from a little stop in Salt Lake City utah. [cheering and applause] and we had a little debate with Kamala Harris last night. [cheering and applause] some people think we did all right. [applause] thank you. Let me be clear, folks. It was a privilege to be on that stage and i think last nights debate was not so much a debate between two candidates for Vice President , but a debate between two visions. Joe biden and Kamala Harris want higher taxes, open borders, socialized medicine and they want to abolish fossil fuels. They want to use taxpayer funding to pay for abortion all the way up to birth. If you did not figure out i will tip you off they want to pack the Supreme Court and defund the police. President donald trump, weve rebuilt our military and we cut taxes and rollback regulations and we unleashed American Energy and we secured our border , supported Law Enforcement and we stood for life and liberty every single day. [cheering and applause] so when you compare the bidenharris agenda with all that President Trump has done these last 3. 5 years i think there is no question it, President Donald Trump won that debate hands down and we will win again in 26 days when we reelect President Donald Trump for four more years. [cheering and applause] four more years vp pence four years ago a movement was born in a moment of Everyday Americans from every walk of life. Here in arizona you believe we could be strong again and you believe we could be prosperous again. I heard that joe biden and Kamala Harris are both in arizona today. [crowd boos] ive got a feeling its because arizona said yes to President Donald Trump in 2016. And i know arizona will say yes to four more years of President Donald Trump. Come november 3. [cheering and applause] it is because of what weve done and all weve accomplished. Four years ago we inherited a , military that was hollowed out by devastating budget cuts and an economy struggling to break free of the slowest economic recovery since the great depression. Terrorism was on the rise and we witnessed a steady assault on our most cherished veterans. Our most cherished values. In three short years we rebuilt that military and we restored the arsenal of democracy and we are finally giving our soldiers and sailors, airmen, marines and coast guard the resources and the support they deserve to accomplish their mission and defend our nation. [applause] now we are standing here a short drive from Luke Air Force base, pride of the nation. Im proud to report the President Donald Trump has signed the Largest Investments in our National Defense days of days of ronald reagan. [cheering and applause] we stood with those who serve but weve also stood with all of you who have warned the united who have warned the uniform of the United States. When joe biden was president america saw years of scandal at when joe biden was Vice President , america saw years of scandal at the va that shocked the conscience of the nation. We all remember those days. Some of the worst abuses happened not far from here in phoenix at the va. Veterans were literally dying while waiting for the medical care they needed. Medical care they earned in the uniform of the United States. When President Trump came into office that all changed. We passed the veterans accountability act of the most sweeping reforms of the va in 50 years and we fired thousands of va workers for not giving our veterans the healthcare that they earned an veterans choice is now available for every veteran in america. [cheering and applause] you know, i know this close to the air force base, i know there more than a few that served in are uniform so if you are able would you mind standing up or raising your hand and let us thank you one more time for your service . [cheering and applause] thank you for your service. God bless you. So it has been about security and supporting our veterans. In our first three years, it was about restarting the engine of the American Economy. Where joe biden wants to raise taxes in our first three years President Donald Trump cut taxes across the board for working families in business. We rollback more federal red and American History. In just three short years businesses large and small , created 7 million good paying jobs, including more than 250,000 jobs right here in arizona. [cheering and applause] wages were rising across the board and what meant the most to the president and me was that wages were rising rapidly for the middleclass america. When joe biden was Vice President , i may have brought this up last night. When joe biden was Vice President , america lost 200,000 manufacturing jobs, and the last president said that those jobs are never coming back. Four years ago he said and i quote, 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 in just three years. [cheering and applause] that means you dont need to look further than right here and i just heard back stage from jason and jane that it was because of President Trumps tax cuts that they were actually able to expand the facility we are standing in right now and they are building another facility that will create 80 more good paying arizona jobs. Can we give jason and jane a big round of applause . [cheering and applause] thank you for growing in peoria. We stood for our National Defense. Our veterans and jobs. And every day this President Donald Trump has said for the rule of law. Weve appointed more than 200 principled conservatives to our courts at every level, including two Supreme Court justices and i will tell you, they are all men and women who will uphold the godgiven liberties in our constitution like the freedom of religion and the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. [cheering and applause] last month we paused as a nation to rightly honor the life and service of the late Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg. When the memorials were over , President Donald Trump fulfilled his constitutional duty and nominated a principled experienced brilliant conservative woman to the Supreme Court of the United States, judge Amy Coney Barrett. [cheering and applause] ive got to be honest, im a big fan of judge barrett and not just because shes from indiana. [laughter] judge barrett is exactly the kind of judge that President Trump promised the American People he would appoint and that weve appointed all along the way. Judges will interpret the law as written and not legislate from the bench and who will uphold the constitution of the United States and that is why we need , judge Amy Coney Barrett to the to be justice Amy Coney Barrett. I promise you after the senate does their job of advise and consent, we will fill that seat. [cheering and applause] phil betsy x Mission Point fill that seat vp pence we stood for the rule of law and strengthen the Constitutional Foundation of our republic and President Donald Trump has stood every single day with the men and women who serve on the thin blue line of Law Enforcement and we always will. The president and i know what jason just said that men and women who serve in Law Enforcement across america are some of the best people in this country and they deserve the , respect of every american, every single day. [cheering and applause] could you join me in thanking all of the members of Law Enforcement who are gathered here today . [cheering and applause] President Trump and i will always support the rights of americans to peaceful protest. Rioting and looting is not peaceful protest. Burning businesses is not free speech. Last night in Salt Lake City i had with me a wonderful woman. An africanamerican Business Owner from minneapolis. It was just a few days after the killing of george floyd. Let me say again there is no , excuse for what happened to george floyd and justice will be served. [applause] but in the days that followed, westbrook watched as the protesters and rioters and looters moved closer and closer to a business she had built in the largely Africanamerican Community 35 years ago and they burned it to the ground. Men and women of arizona, let me be clear, violence against innocent civilians and the destruction of private property, violence against Law Enforcement will not be tolerated and those who do so will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. [cheering and applause] for months, all joe biden talked about were peaceful protests. Right . The American People literally watched businesses in their communities burn in our major cities. The truth is, joe biden would double down on the very policies that led to violence in america. When you suggest that you will withdraw support from those who protect and serve you embolden , those who would harm our families. Now, joe biden justifies it by saying that america is, in his words, systemically racist. [crowd boos] and he has actually said and Kamala Harris repeated it last night that police have an , implicit bias against minorities in this country. When joe biden was asked if he would support cutting funding for Law Enforcement he replied , yes, absolutely and his running mate has said that we need to reimagine Law Enforcement and she recently applauded the mayor of los angeles efforts to cut 150 million from las budget. [crowd boos] let me make a promise. Under President Donald Trump, we are not going to defund the police, not now, not ever and we are going to back the blue. [cheering and applause] and here at this Great Company when every single day, not only employees people across the region but makes equipment for our heroes in Law Enforcement im proud to report to you that under President Trumps leadership, we are fighting more funding for Law Enforcement, more training and more resources and we will keep supporting Law Enforcement for four more years. [cheering and applause] now, the president and i know that we dont have to choose between supporting Law Enforcement and supporting our africanamerican families and other minorities in our major cities. The truth is we have supported lawenforcement with new resources and deployed personnel to cities struggling with violence and all along the way in this administration we saw the lowest on the plemons ever the lowest number of unemployment ever for for africanamericans in the highest investment in historically back colleges and universities and this president was a champion of educational choice for all our families and we passed prison justice reform. [cheering and applause] the truth is, we can support Law Enforcement and support more opportunities, better education, better Public Safety and africanamerican communities, and we have done both for the last three and half years and we will continue to do both for four more years in the white house. [cheering and applause] it really is an honor to be here at a familyowned business that is literally saving the lives of our men and women in lawenforcement every day. Under this president s leadership im told that he created more than 120 new arizona jobs and every year this company make some 20000 protective vests that are worn by Law Enforcement across america and American Forces stationed all around the world. Would you just give one more round of applause for the incredible family that is all about fait
