Before we would lead, we would stand on the railing about car, both of us waving to the crowd. It was as far as the eye could see. We were told there were 50,000 people that came out to the county care around county fairgrounds. [applause] they know a better deal is coming. Know that they are part of a movement. Donald says that to me more often than anything else. When we see the crowds, he will say, this is a movement, mike. It is bigger than us. He says it with the kind of humility that we so admire leaders. In leaders. I admire him as my running mate. Americas choice has never been clearer. The most straight talking candidate since Ronald Reagan is running against one of the most dishonest candidates ever. [applause] let me say, as i stand in this hallowed place, the American People picked a bold truth teller in 1980 and i know theyre going to elect a bold truth teller in 2016. [applause] these challenging times, let me reflect on the policies and then i will close. Challenging times are similar to the times we faced in 1980. Then, as now, we stand at a fault line of history. An economy and decline. Joblessness stretched as far as the eye can see. Upheaval inial america pushed around abroad. We need smart and decisive leadership to fix americas problems while there is still time. Respects,old, in many elites in both political parties, then as now have failed to give Us Government as good as our people but that is about to change again. [applause] how will it change . It all because of security. Americans of every act Ronald Reagan at the common dangers we face. This week it will be 15 years since 9 11. It is hard to believe. The threats and dangers have not receded. In fact, as you have learned and shocking and heartbreaking tragedy here in california, they are closer and more serious and never before. During a trump residency, i can assure you we will restore the arsenal of democracy. We will restore the alliances that keep a strong and secure. You will have a commanderinchief as you have heard last night, and heard yesterday who will take those resources and of those new alliances and we will hunt down and destroy those who threaten our people and inspire those who would bring us harm. [applause] donald trump, like Ronald Reagan, will rebuild americas military. It is extraordinary to think that since 1991, our active duty armed forces have diminished from 2 million to just 1. 3 million today. Our navy has shrunk from a fleet of over 500 chips down to 272. The air force is roughly one third smaller. The armed forces deserve better. Knowseagan, donald trump that we can only have peace if america is strong. On day one of a cap administration, donald trump will submit a new budget to rebuild our military and active army of 540,000 soldiers. He will build a remain core marine corps of 36 the times. Improve the navy. Our air force will have at least 1200 fighter aircraft. We will modernize our naval cruisers and force our last vacation roles, command Relevant Department to conduct a thorough iniew of cyber defenses america, america will once again. E known as the arsenal [applause] as a proud father of the united commanderg, our new marine, our new commanderinchief will support our soldiers, sailors and airmen with attorney did need to get the job done safe and come home to us. [applause] that is probably why so many million families military families are supporting our campaign. Why somebody veterans make their way to our rallies around the United States. Any men and women who have for the uniform of the United States of america, could you stand or raise your hand to allow us to show one more installment of appreciation . [applause] thank you for your service. A Strong Military and a Strong America makes for a Strong America in the world. In america that the world takes seriously. Whatd trump and i know Ronald Reagan knew, America Needs to be strong for the world to be safe. Of thispolicy record and ministers and has weakened americas place in the world. Its a store near to think of the policies of this administration. It was secretary of state Hillary Clinton. The picture of the middle east on the day they took office and look at the map of the middle east today, it does not look like the same place. Civil war in syria. Rise and role of the isis caliphate. Civil war in libya. Terrorist forces that have overrun the hardfought gains that were secured in the last Republican Administration by our soldiers. Libya, the wider middle of a greater and more emboldened russia and china, activities in the south china sea. Russs interventions in ukraine. It all has a big familiarity to it. Vague familiarity to it. That the examples truth of history, reagan knows, donald trump knows that weakness arouses evil. Week Foreign Policy by the United States of america embo ldens our enemies and abandons our friends. Those days are over starting november 8. [applause] but semi my to those times as well as the times we live in similar to those times as well as the times we live in. Policies that have stifled the American Economy. There in the midst of slowest economic recovery since the great depression. We have a few days after labor day, we had the lowest river Labor Participation rate since the 1970s. Do not be deceived by the low unemployment. The truth is that there are millions and millions of men and women in this country who are not counted in that number because they are not looking for work anymore. All, they aref nearly 7 million more americans living in poverty today in the day that barack obama became president of the United States. Their nominee, her plan is more of the same. More taxes. More regulation, more obamacare and more of the war on American Energy that has run our nations economy into a ditch. You, just as in those days that we celebrate and remember on this false, we are about to elected president who knows that the strength of the American Economy is in the ingenuity and freedom of the American People. Donald trump will empower the American People to revive this economy again. [applause] donald trump and the detroit economic club, a place that Ronald Reagan used to like. Out ant a plan to lay revive our economy. I like to say that conservative ideas work every time you try them. They work in the future state hoosier state. They will work in washington dc. Donald will sound familiar. Lower marginal rates. We will end that taxes once and for all. Death taxes once and for all. We will lower Corporate Tax rates so american businesses can compete with businesses around the world and keep jobs here. Reagan also knew what donald trump knows that is regulation is a form of taxation. Donald trump will do what we did, we will sign a moratorium on any new federal regulation and he will repeal everything one of Barack Obamas job killing executive orders. Every single one of Barack Obamas job killing executive orders. [applause] donald trump becomes negotiator and chief. We also will have trade deals that work for american workers. [applause] donald trump and i believe in free trade. We believe in arms length transaction. We believe trade is to be a winwin. We need to renegotiate nafta to ensure it works for the people of the united days. We will get out of this multinational deals like the tpp. At the end of the day, we will hold our trading partners to the promises they make when they sign a deal with the people of the United States of america. [applause] lastly, the fact that we are running against someone who boasted, if she was elected president , we will put a lot of coal miners and Coal Companies out of business. One, we will end the war on coal once and for all. We will unleash the boundless power of the Natural Resources of the United States of america. [applause] matterspeak to one other and then close and get to your questions. Elects on, we will literally, as the calendar speaks today, on september the , we willwo months elected president for the next four years. It is so important for those of us that church the ideals and legacies of Ronald Reagan to remember that what we are electing a president for the next four years, the president will likely set the course and direction of the Supreme Court of the United States for the next 40 years. We need to think long and hard about that. Donald trump for his part has made it clear, when he becomes president of the United States of america, from the Supreme Court on down, we will appoint to the federal judiciary men and women who will strictly construe the constitution of the United States and not legislate from the bench. [applause] Ronald Reagan said it so well. I quote, the importance of judicial restraint, the belief of our Founding Fathers that the role of the judges to interpret the law, not preempt the rights of the people and their legislatures by making the law. [applause] judicial restraint. The role of the judge. I have said throughout this breach that Ronald Reagan and views trump had similar on some key issues. Similar ideals and several similar backbone. The me be clear, after my tenures on the Judiciary Committee on capitol hill, working in and around these , ronaldor a lifetime reagan and donald trump views on the Supreme Court are not similar, they are identical. He will appoint justices that will make the reagan tradition proud on our Supreme Court. [applause] finally, one last point, for too many in washington, for too many seems togton, politics have morphed into a rigged game of selfenrichment and cronyism. One great democrat that im pretty sure Ronald Reagan said,d, harry truman, he no young man should go to politics if he wants to get rich. He said an honest Public Servant cannot become rich and politics. [applause] in politics. [applause] past thatpences test. Pass that test. [applause] today . D we see politicians enter office with modest needs and merge as minors. Auction access and policies. Allentown,ike pennsylvania, youngstown, ohio, fort wayne, indiana, people do not know how to work the system. They just know how to work. All they ask for is that chance. In our ministry to come will make sure they havent. Americans are fed up. That is what independents and republicans and Many Democrats are reeling from the headlines that we see one day after another. Reagan knew what donald trump knows. We must have the highest standards of integrity in the highest office of the land. We will when donald trump comes president of the United States. Becomes president of the United States. [applause] 1980, 2016, 2 different men, two different times. Seems familiar. The challenges that we face. The opportunity that we have. I cracked open that old but this bookng and i happened this morning and i happen to land in ecclesiastes. Ago, there isnnia nothing new under the sun. What has been will be again. What has been done will be done again. Boy, i sure hope so. [applause] you that imell very humbled to be in this place with you all. Charlotte and i have the great privilege of laying a wreath at the final resting place of this wonderful couple that change their country and change the world. It was an emotional moment for me. I want to give you a word of encouragement as well. Something big is touring in our country. Stirring in our country. It is coming from the American People. Thatpirit of 1880 propelled Ronald Reagan into the white house is alive and kicking. I see it every day. I just joined this ticket little more than six weeks ago. Trumpgning with donald and for donald trump, i see in the faces of americans in big cities and small towns and thatism and determination i think is going to turn this country around. I see it in the faces of the thousands that we meet on the campaign trail. People feel that out of touch washington elites. I had a woman walk up to me and she said, thank you for running with donald trump. Wait to vote. [applause] 61 days. An opportunity we have to restore confidence to our people. To have america standing tall again. T home and abroad in economy working for all of foundationand the and constitution with people we all respect. I have faith. I think we will do it. It is not because of the polls. I dont pay a lot of attention to the polls. Ago, you a long time get into a rough campaign, you have to turn on the television with a stick every morning. What is going to be there. It is something else. Intos manifested conversations i will close with. One is with my running mate and one with a man whose name is on this building. The rest of the conversation with Ronald Reagan happened in the east room. I did a little photo op thing with him. I got up, started reading again. I walked into the east room and my wife was waiting there with some other couples. A were maybe 30 of us. We were there. We wait until the president the party. He burst into the room. You might remember those days. That i heard there were some ladies and here and i wanted to meet you all. In here and i wanted to meet you all. My wife got to ask him a question. Several people asked about policies and important things. My wife raised her hand and said, where is nancy . [laughter] he really melted. Made a point to reach over and shake her hand before he left the room. He said something that day that i will never forget. I guess a couple other people must have said to him what i said. I wanted to thank him for what he had done for the country. Said, several, he of you made a point to thank me for what i have done for this country for the last eight years. It was august, 1928. 1988. The soviet union was on it tells heels. He said several of you have thanked me for what i did for this country. Then he said, i want you to know that id dont think i did anything for the country. Said, i think the American People decided to write the ship ship and i was just the cap they put on the bridge when they did it. We were running over to the convention. The night of his speech. Donald trump, ever the coach, ever the ceo was sitting next to me. He said, mike, we have a great opportunity. He said, we will have to work. It felt like i was in a locker room. [applause] were going to have to go after it and roll our sleeves. And,e get to election day we get this thing done with the iraqi people the American People and it will be great. This confidence. I had not heard that since 1988. Men, i justhese want to tell you that there is so much that is different in terms of style and background. , oath ronaldore reagan and donald trump are Ronald Reagan and donald trump are united in a boundless faith in the American People. That is where i know that if all of us will do all that we can to as the 45thood man president of the United States of america, if we put that new know weon the bridge, i will make America Great again. Thank you very much. God bless you. [applause] thank you for the honor of being here today. [applause] just a remarkable speech. Think you very much. Thank you very much. We have time for one, maybe two questions. Some people are nice enough that they came to read questions. We have a whole stack here. Propose a lawou or rule that would prevent influence selling by anyone in government so a Clinton Foundation type fiasco does not happen again . Gov. Pence donald trump has already laid out policy points. And he will continue to lay out those plans. Regard to individuals in their ability to advocate for four interests. It is one of the things that is so troubling about what we see unfurling and becoming more public every day. Foreignlking about contributors to the Clinton Foundation. There are some schoolkids here. And foreignrest contributors cannot participate in american politics. Vehicle that there is a while she was secretary of state for Foreign Companies and four interests to donate foreign interests to donate to the Clinton Foundation come i think it should be troubling to every american. And thanks to the associated press, three found that more than half of the private meetings that the secretary of 85 of the more than 150 meetings were extended to people who are given millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation in many cases, for contributors. Senator Richard Lugar who is an icon in indiana and a man of enormous integrity warned senator clinton of this issue in her confirmation hearings. He warned her against the interest
