[cheers and applause] v. P pence in one of his first acts in office, this president reinstituted the mexico city policy, to make sure no tax dollars would be used to promote or provide abortions overseas. He made history by becoming the first president to attend the march for life last month on the national mall. [applause] v.

Plannednding grandparen parenthood [applause] v. P pence life is winning in america. Because of the compassion and care and the principled stand about all of you have taken. That is what makes it so remarkable that every leading democrat running for president is actually has actually said that there is no room in todays Democratic Party for prolife voters. Say, to every prolife american, republican, independent, or democrat, you have a home in todays republican party. President donald trump is the most prolife president in american history. [applause] v. P pence it has been about security, about liberty, about our most cherished values, and it has been about three more things, it has been about jobs, jobs, jobs. [applause] from the first day of this administration, President Trump promised we could revive the American Economy. We went straight to work, working with our allies in the congress. We cut taxes across the board. For working families, businesses large and small. This president has rolled back more federal red tape already than any president in american history. [applause] we have unleashed american we will bethis year, a net exporter of energy for the first time in 75 years. [applause] and from day one, this president has fought for free and fair trade. After more than 30 years of trade policy that seemed to be more about just managing economic decline, the u. S. M. C. A. And the phase one china deal marked the beginning of a new era of International Trade that puts american jobs and American Workers first. [applause] it is true. The president put china on notice that the era of economic surrender is over. Will continue to stand strong until china opens their markets and addresses all the issues that emerged in years. Under his leadership, after decades that saw factories in small towns like my home state of indiana sh uttered, jobs move south of the border, n. A. F. T. A. Is gone and the u. S. M. C. A. Is here to stay. [applause] and i dont have to tell all of you that the American Economy is booming. Since election day 2016, businesses large and small have created more than 7 million good paying jobs. The Unemployment Rate is at a 50 low. There is more americans working today than ever before in the history of this country. And the American People know it. It is true. Karen and i slipped away for spring break last year. A whole day and a half. [laughter] we went we like to go to a place called sanabel island. We were sitting on the beach wearing our ball caps, sunglasses. We were reading some books. These two boys came walking by me very budweiser shirts. I think they had heard in the local paper that you were on island. This one fellow stopped and looked at me and said, hey, you are pence. [laughter] i said, yes sir, i am. That he read over and said to me, you got to tell the president to keep doing what hes doing because i made twice as much money last year as i made the year before. And i told him, i would. [applause] then he started to walk away and turn around and start him a the way, i dont know what you do, but keep doing what youre doing too [laughter] and i told him i would. [applause] is, thanks to President Trump leadership in all of your support all across this country, in three short years, we have made America Great again. [applause] but to keep America Great, we need you to decide right here americasnow that going to vote for four more years of resident donald trump and dust President Donald Trump fourhite house former years of President Donald Trump in the white house. [cheers and applause] [crowd chanting four more years] v. P pence think about it. Four more years means more jobs. [chanting four more years ] is more judges four more years means more judges. It means more support for our troops. And it will take at least four more years to drink that swamp drain that swamp. [applause] 4 more years will give space for us the launch it deserves. In four more years, we will lower the cost of health care and prescription drugs without growing the size of government. And we will always protect americans with preexisting conditions. With four more years, we will rebuild the roads and bridges and ports and airports so that america has the finest infrastructure in the world. , willth four more years give every parent in america the right to choose where their children go to school. Public, private, parochial, or homeschool. [applause] pence the choice has never been clear. And the stakes have never been higher. With your support today, america has a president who loves this ourtry, who stands by military, our workers, and our freedoms. He believes in you. I can tell you firsthand, he fights for you every single day. Its true. [applause] but elections are about choices. Weve got our president in the oval office, then youve got this crowd of democrats running for president. [crowd booing] v. P pence any of you see the debate tuesday night . Or the one before it . Was not a democratic debate, that was a demolition derby. [laughter] [applause] v. P pence i mean, really. I grew up in a small town. Every year we would have a county fair. That people with the crummiest cars in town would drive them into the field than they would crash into each other until only one was left driving. [laughter] v. P pence i mean, think about it. You got these democrats with the crummiest ideas and politics. They are all smashing into each other. And eventually, there will be one left driving. But i think we all know how this is going to end. There is going to be a monster hood with a big t on the that is going to drive into the infield and roll right over them [cheers and applause] v. P pence is going to happen. They have been trying to figure out who won them of these debates. Let me help them out. President donald trump won the democrat debate in a knockout. Hands down, no contest. Lights out. [applause] v. P pence and we are going to keep on winning. As you know, the truth is todays Democratic Party has been taken over by radical leftists who want higher taxes, open borders, lateterm abortion. It is really astonishing to think that the party of harry truman and jfk is actually on the verge of nominating an avowed socialist as their party standardbearer. The Democratic Party today is on the verge of nominating a candidate who honeymooned in the soviet union, wants to take away the Health Insurance of 160 million americans, and speaks glowingly of socialist dictatorships in cuba and venezuela. Lets be clear, it isnt just about he bernie. Despite what the media last to tell you, there are no moderate in this democratic field. [applause] everyone of the other democrats running for president embraces bernese socialist agenda. Whether they call it medicareforall or the green new deal, democrats have been overtaken by a leftist ideology but history tells us has literally impoverished millions of people around the world and rob the liberties of therations robbed liberties of generations. That system is socialism. Far too many of people rally to their cause. So many women of cpac, he got work to do. Men and women of cpac, we have work to do. It would not be enough to win the next election, we got to win the next generation. [applause] weve got to tell the truth about socialism and the benefits of freedom. When many in this rising generation speak of socialism, i believe they think of Better Health care, that education or a cleaner environment. But the reality of socialism is very different. In theth is, citizens most free countries in the world earn over seven times more than citizens in the least free countries. Socialism has failed everywhere it has been tried, in every era on every continent, and among every class of people. Freedom works. [applause] socialism does not. And we need look no further than our own hemisphere to prove the point. Venezuela was once the second wealthiest country in our hemisphere. Within the wake but in the wake of more than a decade of socialist dictatorship, almost 5 Million People in that country have fled to neighboring lands to escape the deprivation and the poverty. Karen and i saw it first hand venezuelanited with families at a chapel in columbia back in august of 2017. Ill never forget as we went table to table at this little church, speaking to one family after another that had fled their home country. Meet a grandmother who told that she had left that country with her four grandchildren in her arms, because it had gotten so bad in her small town that her grandchildren had to rise at 4 00 in the morning to get a ticket to stand in line to buy a piece of bread in the afternoon. Talked to told us the same heartbreaking story of poverty. Families unable to find food and medicine they need. As we meet here today, innocent children are still perishing everyday in venezuela from starvation and deprivation. This president and this administration will continue to stand strong with the people of venezuela until their liberty and democracy are restored. [applause] but many women, that is what socialism looks like. When it is put into practice. , that is whaten socialism looks like when it is put into practice. That is the story we have to tell the presentation. Because you here at cpac no better than most know better than most that it was freedom, not socialism, but give us the strongest most prosperous nation in the history of the world. [applause] it was freedom, not socialism , two worldslavery wars, and has made america a beacon of hope for all mankind. It was freedom. [applause] seeksthe Democratic Party to nominate and embrace the failed policies of socialism, we must renew our resolve in this year, 2020, as the president said one year ago, america will never be a socialist country. [applause] [indistinct shouting] v. P pence but i have confidence. This rising generation is a generation that increasingly everyday embraces life and liberty. Its a freedom loving generation. People that can hear a song, downloaded on their phone and seconds later, they like freedom. [laughter] and thats who we have to speak to. I want to challenge each and everyone of you particularly the young people among us, to go out and talk to your neighbors and friends, to school and work, tell them about the choices that would have. Tell them it is a choice between freedom and socialism. Tell them have a freedom loving president of the United States of america. [applause] v. P pence ladies and gentlemen of cpac 2020, President Donald Trump i can tell you is the real deal. He is a man who says what he means and means what he says. He never quits. He never backs down. He has never stopped fighting to keep the promises that he made to all of you. Now it is our turn to fight for him. Its on [applause] so i want to challenge her. I wanted to challenge all of you and any that might be looking on. Every day that remains between now and election day in november, keep bringing this same level of enthusiasm. Keep bringing your support. Keep telling yourfriends everyte accomplished. Faith. E [applause] v. P. Pence keep faith in this distinctly american president who embodies the rugged thatidualism and optimism characterizes this nation. Keep the faith in our fellow americans and that this generation rising today loves liberty and freedom every bit as much as every american generation that has come before. [applause] keep faith finally that when we hold the banner of , when we make freedom our cause, we make his work on this earth our own for the spirit of the lord is freedom. That means freedom always wins. [applause] v. P. Pence men and women of cpac, thank you for the honor of addressing you. Ofnk you for the privilege serving as your Vice President. [applause] v. P. Pence i leave here today with renewed confidence that seeing all of your bright and shining faces all of the Tremendous Energy and optimism in this room, all we have done ahead, withhat lies your continued support and prayers, every day between now and november 3, we are going to keep on winning.
