TRANSCRIPT:

Thank you very much. I’m thrilled to be back with the hardworking patriots of the great state of Michigan, the United States. I also want to thank Alro Steel CEO Randy Glick. I just met Randy, and he’s fantastic. The job the family’s done, he’s done, it’s beautiful. And to all of the talented workers here at Alro Steel, I hope you’re all happy. Are you happy with the company? I think yes, right? Great company.

Congratulations on 76 years of manufacturing in Michigan. You had your best years four years ago, but you’re going to have even better years coming up, I can tell you that. You’re going to have even better.

Message to American Workers

I’m here today with a simple message for the American autoworker and for the American worker: your long economic nightmare will very soon be over. It’s going to be over. I’m going to turn it around. With your vote, we will defeat comrade Kamala Harris, and we will bring back the American dream, bigger, better, stronger, and just better.

We love the American dream. You don’t hear about the American dream. When was the last time you heard about the American dream? They don’t talk about it, although they copy everything else I do, so I guess that’ll be it. They’ll be copying. They’ll be saying, “Oh, the American dream.” She doesn’t know what the American dream is.

Economic Criticism

Over the past four years, Kamala and crooked Joe Biden have presided over an economic reign of terror, committing one financial atrocity after another. As vice president, Kamala cast the deciding votes that caused the worst inflation in American history. You’re all victims of it. We all are. Everybody is a victim of it.

It’s a nation buster, costing the typical family $28,000. Under her policies, household wealth has plummeted by $33,000 per family. The cost of the typical monthly mortgage has really tripled, and you can’t get the money. So, you know, you go from 2% to 10%, but you can’t get the money at 10%. I guess they want more than that, but you just can’t get the money. Credit card debt has ballooned by 40%, and they have the highest numbers in history right now, as of about three days ago, the highest number in history.

Kamala’s Record

Now Kamala says she wants to talk about the future, but she’s been there for three and a half years. She only wants to talk about the future because the past has been so… The job they’ve done, let me tell you, he’s the worst president in the history of our country, and she’s the worst vice president. And she’s the worst borders are in the history of the world.

She’s the one who gave us every single disaster that our country is facing right now. Look at Afghanistan. She said, “I was the last person in the room.” What a horrible, horrible event that was.

Kamala’s made middle-class life unaffordable and unlivable, and I’m going to make America affordable again. In addition to making it great again, we’re going to make it affordable again, and that’s going to be starting on day one.

Criticism of Flip-Flopping

Isn’t it amazing? They go three years and now they say, “Oh, we’re going to do this. We’re going to do that.” The only good thing is that she’s a flip-flopper. She’s the greatest flip-flopper. Things that she never even thought of. She probably goes back to her room and gets sick to her stomach when she says what she has to say because she’s a Marxist, she’s a fascist, and she never believed it.

And now she’s saying, “Oh, we want to build a strong border.” Where has she been for three and a half years? As we took in 20 million people, many of them horrible criminals.

Vision for the Middle Class

My vision is for a middle class that is once again the envy of the entire world. It’s going to happen. It’s going to happen fast. Workers like you and communities like this should be able to afford a nice house, a new car, and a growing family on a single income, all while enjoying the highest standard of living on Earth, right? Thank you.

Americans deserve safe streets, secure borders, great schools, healthy children, bustling factories, and a nation that is confident and strong. That’s the future that I intend to deliver, and I will deliver.

Economic Concerns and World War III

When you had the best economy in the history of our country just a short while ago, and now you have what they call inflation, what that has done to this country. And frankly, they’ve done also worse. And you’re going to end up in World War III with these people. I’ll tell you what, we’ve never been so close to World War III. And you know, with the power of weapons, I always say this isn’t two army tanks running back and forth shooting at each other. The power of weapons today, very dangerous, very bad.

Criticism of Current Leadership

We have people. Do we even have a president? He just got back from California. He was supposed to go to the White House. He never got there. He went to Delaware, and he’s laying on a beach sleeping all day long. No, no, she said, who the hell wants to sleep and who wants to sleep in public? He’s sleeping.

Do you think President Xi of China is at a beach sleeping? Do you think Kim Jong Un is sleeping from North Korea with his nuclear weapons all over the place? They don’t sleep so much. And we have a guy sleeping, and she’s… Look, she’s incompetent. She can’t do an interview. It’s been months. She can’t.

Recent Interview Experience

I just did an interview backstage. It was a very terrible person, but she was OK, actually.
