Please welcome senator ron johnson and thank you for all the work he does for the citizens of wisconsin. [applause] sen. Johnson thank you. Thank you for hosting this event. On such a gloriously beautiful wisconsin day. I am here first of all to say thank you to be Vice President for coming here again. He is almost an honorary member. He and President Trump have been to wisconsin so often because we love the state, we are concerned about our citizens, and they want to make sure they can do everything they can to recharge our economy, and repower it. The Vice President has done such a great job in the task force. I am hearing the briefings, i am hearing the difficult situation he is trying to manage. For example, the ppe equipment, the things everyone wants, the demand was two to three times greater than what the supply was. The Vice President working with other great manufacturers around the country getting that ppe and making available in an organized fashion so nobody ran out. I think he has done a great job. Unfortunately the Mainstream Media has not given them the kind of credit they deserve for managing a very difficult situation. But i really appreciate the great job the Vice President has done. My other role here is to introduce really a great secretary of labor. You know his father as the towering, powerful and wonderful Supreme CourtJustice Antonin Scalia a. His son is brilliant and well and he has done a great job in a short period of time, also managing the loss up of unemployment benefits, so we provided in the cares act for people who lost their jobs. Again, this administration has done a great job caring for people. Being concerned about those individuals that lost their jobs and helping fund the ppp program recover fromesses this terrible situation. And secretary Eugene Scalia has done a great job of our department of labor secretary. So please welcome Eugene Scalia. [applause] sec. Scalia thank you all. Thank you for the introduction. Thank you for the great work you do for the people of wisconsin in the senate and thank you for being to the senate the experience of somebody he was actually created jobs, which is basic common sense and insight that we so need in washington dc. It is my pleasure to say to all of you as your u. S. Secretary of labor, happy labor day. It is wonderful to be with you. [applause] labor day is actually one of our Oldest National holidays along with christmas, president s day, memorial day, and the fourth of july. And that is because American Workers built this country alongside our great president s, together with our faith in god and this nation of spouting ideals and with the support of the brave men and women who have given their lives for this country. And this year 2020 we have asked a lot of americas workers. And they have done amazing things. Saving lives in hospitals, supply ing our food factories across the country, turning on a dime to produce countless ppe, masks, ventilators, and now progress we are making towards a vaccine. And it is my pleasure to be here to thank all of you here at the Power Cooperative for what you did day in and day out throughout this crisis to keep the lights on and to keep wisconsin powered and keep this great nation powered during this time. So, thank you. [applause] this year began so well for American Workers. Unemployment, the lowest unemployment we had seen in 50 years. We have rising wages across the country. We had wages that were rising especially for lower wage workers. That is why the president and his state of the union said there was a bluecollar boom, and it really was. It was an amazing time. In a great time for American Workers. But the coronavirus definitely challenged this country in a lot of ways. Including onthejob. That is part of the reason i was so pleased friday to be able to release our jobs report the month of august, which was very strong report. It showed in august we created another 1. 4 one million jobs across the country. One million jobs added back just since may. And unemployment dropped almost two full points to 8. 4 unemployment. That number is higher than we want it. We need to bring it down. But let me to you what an achievement it is to get it down to that just four months into the pandemic. And thee last president last demonstration it took us nearly three years, 34 months to get unemployment under 8. 5 . We got it to 8. 4 in just four months. We have work to do. The president is very focused on adding additional jobs back and also helping those who are unemployed. That is why, together with the support senator johnson did with programs like the Paycheck Protection Program, when congress could not get back together to extend on women benefits back in july, the president established a program through fema to divide supplemental wage payments to people who are still out of work. I am grateful for where we are now for workers. I think the president for the decisions he has made going all the way back to january and march and through now to support our workers, to put people to work. Fori also am thankful someone who has been alongside him every step of the way, supporting the president , supporting American Workers, supporting the American People, and that of course is our Vice President. So again, thank you for having me here today. It is great to join you. Thank you for all you have done for wisconsin and the country these past few months, and have a great labor day. [applause] thank you secretary scalia and senator johnson. What great remarks. It is now my pleasure to introduce the Vice President of the United States. Today we welcome the 48th and current Vice President of. He is a native of indiana where he graduated from the Indiana University school of law. After graduating, Vice President pence practiced law of the indiana policy review foundation. In 2000, he lost a successful bid for a congressional seat in indiana and was reelected six times to congress. Elected to the position of governor of indiana in 2016, President Trump selected mike pence as his running mate. On januaryd office 20, 2017. Please join me in giving Vice President mike pence a great dairyland and la crosse welcome. [applause] vp pence well hello, wisconsin. It is great to be with all of you on a Great American holiday. Secretary jean scalia, our great friend, senator ron johnson. [applause] to all of our fellow americans from near and far, all across the badger state. It is great to be with you here in la crosse. And i cannot think of a better place to be on an american holiday where we celebrate americas tradition of hard work and the american dream. For 79 years you have in keeping the lights on here in wisconsin. So to all of the men and women here and every American Worker all across wisconsin, happy labor day. [applause] and you can grab a seat if you have got one. You know, before i go any further, allow me to pay greetings from another friend of mine. Who loves the badger state. Who i think is the best friend American Workers have ever had, sitting in the oval office at the white house. When i told him this morning that i was headed to la crosse, i think he sounded just a little bit jealous. So allow me to bring greetings from a friend of this state and a friend of American Workers, i bring greetings from the 45th president of the United States of america, President Donald Trump. [applause] you know, i am here because i stand with President Donald Trump. This president stands up for faith and family, and for the american flag. I stand with President Donald Trump. When this president stands up to the radical left and their socialist agenda, i stand with President Donald Trump. And when this president stands up every day and fights for American Workers and jobs, jobs, with President Donald Trump. Four years ago, a movement was born. A movement of Everyday Americans from every walk of life. And look how far weve come. Four years ago, we inherited a military hollowed out by devastating budget cuts, an economy struggling to break out of the slowest recovery since the great depression. Terrorism was on the rise around an world, and we witnessed assault on our most cherished values, their freedom of religion and are right your life. But in our first three years, what a difference the discussion wisconsin made decision wisconsin made, made. We are once again giving our soldiers, sailors, airmen, marine, coast guard, and our veterans the resources and support that they deserve, every single day. We revived our economy by cutting taxes across the board, rolling back federal red tape, unleashing American Energy, and fighting for free and fair trade. We appointed judges to uphold all of our godgiven liberties, including the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. [applause] proud to bebe more Vice President to a president who has stood without apology for the sanctity of human life,. The freedom of religion of every american of every faith. And beyond all of that, throughout all of the last 2. 5 years, this5 president and this administration have stood with the men and women of Law Enforcement, and we will stand with them every day. [applause] President Trump and i know that the men and women who serve in Law Enforcement are the best of us. They put their lives on the line every single day. They literally count our lives as more important than their own. And they deserve the respect of every american. Now, to be clear, any incident involving the police use of force will always be thoroughly investigated. But theres no excuse for the rioting and looting that we have seen in kenosha and in cities across the country, and this violence against civilians, against property, and against Law Enforcement must stop, and it must stop now. [applause] President Trump and i will always support the right of americans to peaceful protest. But rioting and looting is not peaceful protests. Burning businesses is not free speech. And those who do so will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. That is why President Trump took action just a few days ago. We sent 200 federal Law Enforcement officers into kenosha. Working with the National Guard and local Law Enforcement, we quelled the violence. To this president , i promise you, we will have law and order in every city in this country for every american of every race and creed and color, so help us god. [applause] months, all joe biden talked about was peaceful protesters. As the American People watched businesses and communities in our major cities burn. And last week, joe biden, after three months of silence, spoke out against violence and every form it takes. But right after he said that, he criticized Law Enforcement. And joe biden never condemned antifa. He never called out his Campaign Staff is running mate for raising money for bailout violent criminals. And he never called on immigrant mayors to get their cities under control. I think the people here in wisconsin, joe biden would double down on the policies that have literally led to violence in our major american cities. Joe biden says america is systemically racist. And that Law Enforcement has an implicit bias against minorities. Sked whether he would support cutting funding to Law Enforcement, joe biden replied, yes, absolutely. But under president donald will, i promise you, we always stand with those who serve on the thin blue line of Law Enforcement. We are not going to defund the police. Not now, not ever. [applause] President Trump and i know what you all in wisconsin know. We do not have to choose between supporting Law Enforcement and standing with our African American neighbors and families to improve the quality of their lives, to improve public safety, create more jobs and better schools. From the first day of this administration, we have done both. And i promise you, we are going to keep supporting Law Enforcement and keep supporting our African American neighbors and all of the minorities in every community in this city every day from here to come. [applause] years, with the support of the people of wisconsin, we rebuilt our military, we revived our economy, we stood for our liberties and for law order. And the result, i can tell you, having traveled to more than 30 countries as youre Vice President , america is respected in the world again. At home, our godgiven liberties are more secure today. And in our first three years, there are only three ways you can describe those years. It was jobs, jobs, jobs, right here in wisconsin and all across america. True. [applause] with less taxes, less religion, more American Energy less regulation, more American Energy, more american businesses, large and small across the country, created with the seven million good paying jobs in just three years. On this labor day it is great or memo that wages were rising. It is great to remember that wages were rising. Proud that inore those first three years, wages rose most rapidly for hardworking bluecollar men ands, the forgotten women of america are forgotten no more. [applause] president sis policies, manufacturing has come roaring back. When joe biden was Vice President , america lost 200,000 manufacturing jobs. And the last president actually said those jobs would never come back. You remember . It was the summer four years ago, 2016. The president back then wondered aloud how you could ever bring manufacturing back to the hartline heartland. He said quote, what magic wand do you have . Well, 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. [applause] that, the lowest on employment rate ever recorded for African Americans and hispanic americans. At the end of our first three years, more americans were working than ever before. And let me just say within present here today, none of that would have been possible without strong and principled support of senator ron johnson. Wisconsin, would you join me . Get on your feet and show how much you appreciate a man who hasnt fighting for wisconsin values who has been fighting for wisconsin values and fighting for wisconsin jobs. Thank you, senator. [applause] with our strong allies in the wegress like you, sir, created the greatest economy in the world in three short years. We made America Great again. And then, the coronavirus struck from china.
