Transcripts
hello Virginia it is great to be in
Radford
[Applause]
wow I love you guys
too I grew up in a place a lot like this
one called Middletown Ohio
and that's where I learned the values of
loyalty family Duty and
honor and that's where I decided to
enlist in the United States Marine Corps
when I graduated from high school in
[Applause]
2003 now it's also where I
land learned that if you grow up poor
come from a chaotic family
and get D's and Fs in
English you can still by the grace of
God write a bestselling book and become
the nomy to be your next Vice President
of the United States of
[Applause]
America now my friends I want to say I
make a simple pledge president Trump and
I make a simple pledge that we will pour
out every last drop of sweat we will
work our tails off and we will make
America great again and we're going to
do it
[Applause]
together now we got to talk about the
news of the day here
right I was swimming with my kids
yesterday and my wife told me that Joe
Biden had decided to withdraw from the
presidential race
[Applause]
now see you guys are excited about that
I I don't know I was looking forward to
debating kamla Harris
actually so to the Democrats who
are to the Democrats who are watching
please find some way to make kamla vice
president I was promised a debate with
kamla Harris and that's what I plan
again
Now history will remember Joe Biden as
not just a quitter which he is but one
of the worst Presidents of the United
States of America but my friends KLA
Harris is a million times worse and
everybody knows
[Applause]
it she signed up for every single one of
Joe Biden's failures and she lied about
his mental capacity to serve as
president our country has been saddled
for three and a half years with a
president who cannot do the job and that
is all because kamla Harris and the rest
of the Democrats lied about his ability
to be our president I think we ought to
kick them all out come November and
replace him with some people who care
about this country
[Applause]
now to remember this let's talk about
some of those substantive failures Kam
Harris is America's borders
are and how's our border doing ladies
and
gentlemen she hasn't talked to the chief
of border patrol a single time in her
entire tenure as borders
are remember on her very first day in
office she and Biden suspended
deportations they stopped construction
of the border wall and they
reimplemented catch and release the
Border crisis is a comma Harris crisis
let's not her ever let her ever forget
let's never stop reminding her of that
fact and let's never stop reminding
people the fact that when President
Trump was President we had a secure
border and we put our Citizens First
now it doesn't stop there Harris is
actually even more extreme than Biden
even though that's hard to believe she
wants to totally decriminalize illegal
immigration well kamla if you'd make it
if you stop making a crime to come into
this country illegally you're just going
to invite more and more illegal aliens
and we know that communities like
Radford and middle
we are the ones who suffer the
consequences now I know this area has
been affected by a lot of stupid trade
deals a lot of deals that have shipped
good American manufacturing jobs overse
Seas well Biden supported NAFTA back in
1994 but kamla Harris voted to keep
NAFTA again and again even after it was
obvious that it was disaster for our
people
I agree she voted to eliminate the
filibuster and passed the green news
scam destroying energy jobs in Virginia
and Pennsylvania and driving up the cost
of goods that's why we've got an
affordability crisis in this country my
friends because Joe Biden in kamla
Harris they'd rather buy oil and gas
from tinpot dictators all over the world
I say they should buy it right here from
American workers and from Americas who
are
[Music]
[Applause]
[Applause]
it's simple drill baby drill it's not
that complicated we've got it right here
our own workers want to get it out of
the ground why don't we just let them
it'll make our country stronger we all
know that's the case you know it gets
even worse she supported abolishing ice
and wanted to defund the
police
even even Joe Biden never went so far as
to say he wanted to fund the
police now of course he supported all
these policies because him or somebody
else we don't know who's been in charge
of this country the last three and a
half years but Joe Biden supported it
every step of the way or at least the
person who's actually running the show
she wants to ban
fracking she said that you can go and
look it up she said that she wanted to
ban fracking that is going to destroy
hundreds of thousands of energy jobs all
across our country it's going to empower
the very worst and the very most
dangerous regimes in the world this is
crazy there is simply no way that you
can sit here and say the policies of Joe
Biden have worked which is to say that
we got to kick kamla Harris out of the
Oval Office don't give her a
[Applause]
chance don't give her a chance to run
away from the Biden record the Biden
record is the kamla Harris record and
given what we know about Joe Biden kamla
Harris probably did a lot more than Joe
Biden does over the last three and a
half
years and while we're on the subject of
Joe bid
can can anybody just admit that if Joe
Biden is not fit to run for president he
ain't fit to serve as president of the
United States
[Applause]
either and if kamla Harris is too blind
or too corrupt to admit to the American
people that Joe Biden should have never
been in there she's not fit to serve
either we got to get them both out of
there we're going to get president
Donald J Trump back in the White
[Applause]
House they both have to go it's that
simple it really
is now look the thing is I am a member
of a
community that has been affected by all
these terrible
policies I grew up in a workingclass
family
I grew up in a family where kids said
other people said that kid's not going
to turn out to be anything I remember
when I didn't have any hope for my
future I didn't have any hope for my
community I thought that chaos and
instability was going to be The
Narrative of my life that there was no
future and now I'm
running now I'm running as Donald J
Trump's vice president it turned out
pretty well for me
[Applause]
now here's the crazy
thing speaking of President Trump and
and by the way I'll tell you a
story on Monday
morning when President Trump I guess it
was Monday afternoon early afternoon
president Trump called to offer me the
job as his vice presidential running
mate and I didn't answer the phone
now I don't it went straight to
voicemail or something I never heard it
ring I was staring at my phone hoping
that he would call me but of course I
called him back and we had a nice
conversation you know talk a lot about
this he put my son on the phone he
talked to my little seven-year-old boy
it was great but the first thing he said
actually when I called him back is he
said you know JD you just missed a very
important phone
call and maybe I should offer to
somebody
else now he was messing with me of
course cuz is here I stand and I'll tell
you something else about President Trump
and I I want to get to the fact that the
media lies about him and so many people
don't realize the real president Trump
and here here's the real president Trump
president Trump called me right before
my RNC convention speech on Wednesday it
was a great time and didn't my wife do
such a good job I was so proud of her
for introducing
me but he he called me and he said JD
you're going to do a great job it was
just a nice pep talk said don't worry
about anything you're going to do great
and then I said sir I agree with you I
think I am going to do a good job but
it's too late now no takebackspace
when he took an Assassin's bullet stood
up a minute later raised his fist in the
air and said fight fight
[Applause]
fight that's the president Trump I know
the guy who stood in defiance of an
Assassin's bullet and then just a few
moments later called for National calm
and unity and they say that he's
mean-spirited that's not the Donald
Trump I know that's not the Donald Trump
that any of us in this room know they
also say that he's a threat to democracy
but if I recall Donald Trump won the
Republican primary in 2016 won the
election and won another Republican
primary just a few months ago Democrats
are the ones who want to throw out 14
million ballots and not elect kamla
Harris but select kamla Harris with a
bunch of billionaires and Barack Obama
and Nancy Pelosi making the decision
instead of democrat voters it's
disgraceful and that's the threat to
American democracy that corruption and
that broken
[Applause]
process now I'm obviously not a a
Democrat primary voter and I imagine
none of you are either but if you are
welcome Republican part's happy to have
you but if you are a Democrat primary
voter they don't give a damn about you
because they don't give a damn who you
voted for if you are a Democrat and you
look at this corrupt process I invite
you to the Republican party we want to
make America great again we believe in
elections we believe in persuading
voters not lying to them for three and a
half years and then doing a switcheroo
it really doesn't matter who we run
against let's be honest because every
Democrat in leadership has supported
these broken policies and every last
Democrat in leadership lied about Joe
Biden's Fitness for the office about his
mental competency about whether he could
basically function and do the job and
aside from that every last Democrat
contenders wants open borders more legal
immigration they want more trade
giveaways and they supported them from
the very beginning they want more
endless Wars and more criminals on the
streets ladies and gentlemen that is a
crappy platform whoever they put as the
figurehead of the democratic
party now I want to say something about
our lik
opponent kamla Harris because you know
she said a couple of days ago that I
showed no loyalty to the United States
that I have no loyalty to the United
States well you know I I I don't know
kamla I served in the United States
Marine Corps and I built a business what
the hell have you done other than
collect a government check for the past
20 years
but I want to say my friends whether
it's kamla Harris or anybody else it's
the same Democrat machine it's the same
lies and Corruption it is the same
broken promises inflation crisis border
crisis we don't need any of it we need
president Donald J Trump back in the
White House
[Applause]
[Music]
now before we keep going I want to take
a moment to thank some of the
outstanding Republican leaders that we
have with us today Republicans who I
think are going to turn Virginia red in
the coming decade and we're so grateful
to have
them you you guys of course have a great
governor in Glen y I understand he's

state couldn't join us today but we do

bit an incredibly special veteran of
armed forces a true patriot and the next
senator from the state of Virginia hung
Cal thank you hung
now these are great candidates and of
course we're joined by numbers of the
general assembly and state and local
officials who are doing fantastic work
on behalf of this Commonwealth and like
I said they're going to help turn
Virginia
red
now for those of you who don't know me
let me just give you a little bit of
background on where I come from and who
I am I'm a former
Marine urah
Cy I graduated from the Ohio State
University and Yale law
school I started a business to create
jobs in places like the one that I grew
up in places that have been left behind
by Washington's leadership but still
have a lot of grit a lot of
determination and a lot of opportunity
if we could stop screwing up in
Washington DC
now I was raised by my workingclass
grandmother I called her mamal do we
have any other mamals in the room right
now we're in Appalachia right we got a
lot of
mamals I just want to say to all of you
thank you for everything that you do
especially those who are rais in the
mamals and papa the grandparents the
aunts and the uncles that are raising
kids they didn't expect to raise because
of this terrible opioid problem trust me
it's appreciated we love you and we're
grateful to you God bless you
[Applause]
now my M raised me because my mom
struggled with addiction opioid
addiction for a big chunk of my early
life now mamal was a tough tough old
bird she was a very devout Christian and
a very thoughtful Christian but she also
loved the
F-word she was a woman of contradiction
she could make a sailor blush I'm not
kidding you she was my guardian angel in
so many ways and thanks to her I had a
chance to live the American dream and if
there's anything that President Trump's
leadership is about it is about ensuring
that your kids have access to the
American dream that your kids have
access to the incredible opportunity of
this
country now for years Washington
insiders in both parties have sold out
places like Middletown Ohio like Radford
Virginia both parties shipped millions
of good manufacturing jobs overseas they
decided that we didn't need to make
anything in America again and now we're
way too dependent on the Communist
Chinese to make the critical things that
we need from our weapons of war to the
drugs that we put into the bodies of our
children you know 95% of the IBU profit
in this country is manufactured in
China guess where the majority the
antibiotics that we put into the bodies
of our children are made in China that
was a decision ladies and Gentlemen by
Broken leadership that decided we didn't
need to make anything in this country
again president Trump has a different
Vision let's make more things in America
let's make our own country self-reliant
and let's do it with American workers
making good wages isn't that simple
now the left calls president Trump and
his supporters
radicals but what's radical about
thinking that we should make more of our
own products in Virginia Ohio and
Pennsylvania there's nothing radical
about that it's common
sense and under President Trump's
leadership my friends we're going to
change some things around and you're
going to see more and more products
stamped with that beautiful Loco made in
the USA it's
[Applause]
time now there's nothing radical about
having a national security that is
strong and smart who is sick of
ascending America's Sons and Daughters
off to foreign lands they have no
business in we got to focus on our own
problems right here at
home and sometimes we do have to go to
war our national security depends on it
but as president Trump showed when he
took out Isis when we punch we punch
hard and we punch to
[Applause]
win there's nothing radical about
telling the drug cartels and the violent
gangs America is closed for business we
don't want you in our country you got to
go back obey the law and go
back we're going to secure that border
under President Trump's leadership we're
going to stop the poison fentanyl that's
coming into our country and we're going
to make America safe for Americans again
not the drug cartels and the criminals
now I mentioned that my own mom
struggled with addiction for a big chunk
of my life and I stand here and I'm very
proud to to say and I don't know if you
saw this at the RNC convention but she
had a really lovely moment but Mom has
been clean and sober for almost 10 years
it'll be 10 years in January thank you
but I got to be honest with you if the
same poison that's coming across the
border now was coming across the border
20 years ago I don't know that I would
have gotten a second chance with my
mother and there are a lot of families
all across this country who have not
getting Second Chances with their loved
ones because the cartels are bringing
poison across this country at a level we
have never seen we've got to shut that
border down make America safe again it's
sense it's not radical and we're going
to do it under President Donald Trump's
[Applause]
leadership now I don't know if any of
you watched the RNC convention did you
went pretty well
[Applause]
right but you know something happens
there was a speaker at the RNC
convention she spoke about her
15-year-old son who had taken one pill
under peer pressure and it happened to
be laced with fentol and it took its
life isn't that so sad a handsome
gorgeous little boy one mistake and now
his mother will mourn him for the rest
of her life that is the fruit of Joe
Biden's open border and I'm sick of it
I'm sick of allowing this stuff into our
country I I heard people say after this
woman gave her speech really disgraceful
disgusting people say well maybe maybe
he shouldn't have taken that pill to
begin with and I've got three little
kids myself I've got a 7-year-old a
4-year-old and a 2-year-old and we all
know kids make
mistakes I want to grow up in a country
I want them to grow up in a country
where a simple childly mistake doesn't
cost our kids their
lives I want to grow up and I want my
children to grow up in a country where
they can work a good job whether they
went to college or didn't go to college
they can work in a manufacturing economy
where we make things with our own hands
and we do it with American
workers I want my children to grow up in
a world where they go to school and they
lead learn Reading Writing and
arithmetic not indoctrination from crazy
progressives who want to talk about sex
in the classroom instead of
[Applause]
Education I want my kids to grow up in a
country where the police are respected
and they're empowered to keep our
children safe and secure in their own
neighborhoods I want my children to grow
up in a country where the leaders of
this country put their Citizens
First and I want my children to grow up
in that country and the only only way
it's going to happen if we make better
decisions in Washington DC we have got
to send Donald J Trump back to the White
House to do all these things and so much
[Music]
[Applause]
more my friends I am so grateful to be
here here with you today I'm grateful to
stand on this stage I'm grateful for the
incredible opportunities that this
country has has afforded me and I
grateful to be president Donald J
Trump's running mate
[Applause]
[Applause]
we've got an incredible opportunity here
we've got an opportunity to win races up
and down the ballot we have the
opportunity to reestablish American
Energy dominance restore American
manufacturing defeat this crazy
inflation and kick the drug cartels the
hell out of our country
[Applause]
so to everybody listening certainly to
Radford Virginia but all across this
Commonwealth and forgotten communities
in Virginia Michigan Wisconsin
Pennsylvania and Ohio I make this very
simple promise to you I will fight
president Trump will fight we will fight
every single day to restore an America
that works for you for your children and
for your
[Applause]
grandchildren we'll fight to bring down
the cost of groceries and housing isn't
it a shame that our young people can't
afford to buy a home in Joe Biden and
KLA Harris's
economy we'll fight to bring down the
cost of energy we'll fight to close the
border we'll fight to get this fentol
out of our communities we will do all of
these things but the only way to do it
is to reelect president Donald J Trump
