Thank you, it's great to be here.
How are we doing Milwaukee?
There we go.
So we had
an event earlier today.
Please take a seat, take a seat.
We had an even earlier today at the
Pfister Hotel in downtown Milwaukee.
Beautiful place.
I gotta be honest, I had a little
bit of PTSD because
the last time that I was in that
hotel was the
2024 RNC convention.
And if y'all remember, I
flew to Milwaukee the Monday morning
that the RNC convention starts,
and I get there, and
I have no idea if I'm the VP
nominee or not.
So I get to my hotel, which is not
the Fister, it's at the other hotel
for the RNCs convention, and
I get a phone call.
Actually, it was a text message from
Susie Wiles, who was the campaign
manager in 2024, and the text
message says, JD,
you just missed a very important
phone call, I'm like,
oh no.
So I call the President of the
United States and I say, sir, I hear
I missed an important phone call.
And he said, JD, you did
miss a very important phone call,
and now I'm going to have to pick
somebody else.
And like, you know, my entire
body clenches up.
I'm like, is this real?
And then at the same time, my
seven-year-old, who's now nine, but
at the time, my seven year old boy
is talking to me about Pokemon
cards. So I'm trying to talk to the
President of the United States about
becoming the vice presidential
nominee.
And meanwhile, my 7-year old is
talking to me about Charmander
cards.
And I have no idea
what's going on.
So walking through the Pfister
Hotel, I've got this like
Moment of remembrance of the
moment where I almost missed the
president's phone call, but
here I am it worked out I'm the vice
president United States.
Thanks to you
So we're here to talk about fraud.
We're here it to talk about
protecting your taxpayer money.
And most importantly, we're hear to
talk about protecting the
programs that exist that
are funded by the generosity of the
people in this room and that ought
go to the people they're meant
for and not to make fraudsters
rich. It's a very, very simple
principle.
Now there are a lot of people that I
have to thank and make this
work possible.
And first of all, I've got to thank
our great CMS administrator.
Dr. Oz, where is Dr. Ozz
at? He might be backstage, but
Dr.
Oz and our team at the Fraud Task
Force, Kim Brady and Scott,
excuse me, Kim Brandt and
Scott Brady.
Kim and Scott.
Please give a round of applause to
these guys.
They have protected more of your
money than anybody.
Now, we could not have done
what we did were
it not for the support of our
incredible congressional allies.
We're going to talk a little bit
about the fact that we've saved you
all billions and billions of
dollars that was going to
fraudsters.
That's money in your pocket, which
is exactly where it belongs.
But we couldn't do that without a
couple of great congressional
representatives, and In particular,
I've got to give a shout out.
To Representative Brian
Stile. Where is Brian Stiles?
Please stand up, man.
He has been a phenomenal champion
for the state of Wisconsin.
He has taken the fraud issue more
seriously than anybody, so Brian,
thank you so much for what you're
doing. I've also got to give
a shout out to our great
representative, Derek Van
Orden. Derek, please stand up.
Thank you for everything that you're
doin'.
And I gotta say, it would be
so nice to have a governor
in this incredible state, one of
the most beautiful states in the
union, especially this time of year.
I love Wisconsin, or as you guys
say, Wisconsin.
Love Wisconsin, but we have
got to have a governor
who takes fraud as seriously
as the president of the United
States, who's trying to save your
money as much as we are
in Washington, and that's Tom
Tiffany. Tom Tiffany is who
we gotta elect the next governor.
And I also want to give a shout out
to Representative Glenn
Grothman. Where is Glenn at, Glenn?
Thank you for everything that you're
doing.
God bless you.
And then Representative Tony Weed.
Where is Tony at?
Tony, thank you so much, man.
So proud of you, and of course he's
a little far away from home,
but our representative, or not yet a
representative, run up from North.
Look this, stand up, good looking
guy, young guy, is going to make the
next great congressman.
So here's the crazy
thing, ladies and gentlemen,
we don't have two parties that
disagree about tax policy
or regulatory policy.
We have got a party that
is fighting for fraud and
a party is fighting against
fraud. And I don't know about you,
but how about we give more
authority, more power,
and more influence to the party that
is trying to save your money
and send the fraudsters to prison?
That's all we're trying to do.
Now here's, let me talk about
a few of the things that we've been
accomplishing here.
So the very day after the
State of the Union Address, where
the President makes me the leader of
the Anti-Fraud Task Force, what
we do is we go about
the business of stopping
these companies that
are set up to provide
durable medical equipment.
This is hospital beds, oxygen
tanks, things like that.
Things that the American people need
and the Medicare program exists
to ensure.
That our seniors have access to.
Now, what happens, though, is
that there are people setting
up these programs,
setting up companies that sell
durable medical equipment, and
they're not selling a single
product, but they are billing
for lots of product.
Billions and billions of dollars
was being billed to you,
was being built to the program
that exists to ensure that
our senior have health care.
And you know what that means?
Number one, the fraudsters were
getting rich.
But number two, our seniors
who desperately needed those
resources, who needed the hospital
beds and the oxygen tanks,
they weren't getting them because
the frauds were getting rich off
the generosity of the American
taxpayers. You know what we did?
We came in and we said,
we are not sanctioning a single
one of these companies to
defraud the American people if
you say that you're gonna provide
medical equipment to our seniors.
We're going to confirm that you're
actually delivering product before
we pay a single one of those bills.
And we save billions of dollars.
And you know what happened is we had
great support from Brian Stile and
Derek Van Orden and all of the other
great congressional representatives
to keep that money
out of the hands of fraudsters to
ensure that it went to the seniors
who needed it.
And you what happened?
Not a single congressional Democrat
stood up and said, we are going to
fight back against fraud.
And that's the problem with
modern congressional Democrats.
You know, I was raised by blue
collar Democrats.
They were Christian,
patriotic people.
Union steelworkers who loved
the United States of America, but
my mamaw and papaw, the people who
raised me, they supported Democrats
because they felt like the Democrats
of 20, 30, 40 years ago had better
policy.
Now, you may agree or disagree with
that, but today, this is
not about better or worse policy.
This is about who is supporting the
fraudsters and who's supporting you.
And I know, beyond a shadow
of a doubt, that if mamaw or papaw
were alive today, they would not
recognize.
The modern Democratic Party in 2026.
They would not recognize a party
that tries to send your money to
illegal aliens instead of our
hardworking seniors who earned
those benefits and ought to have
access to them.
They would recognize a Party that
raises your taxes so that we
can give more money to the
fraudsters, and they would not
recognized a Party that rewards
the fraudster rather than sending
them to prison.
So I ask you a very simple question.
When you come to vote in
November. Are you going to vote for
the pro-fraud party?
Are you gonna vote for the party
who is sending your tax money to the
fraudsters?
No, we're going to support the
party that is sending the fraudster
to jail and is protecting your
money. We're gonna vote for Derek
Van Orden and for Brian Stile.
Now I want to talk about another
fraud crackdown and this is
almost hard to believe, but you
know we have a program called the
H-1B visa program.
This goes to show how
broad-based the fraud tax force
is.
We're fighting for your taxpayer
money, but we're also making sure
that fraudsters don't take advantage
of these visa programs.
Now why does this program exist?
This is a visa program that was
set up to ensure that
if you were a brilliant technology
person or a brilliant scientist
or a brilliant doctor, you could
come to the United States and get
access to this visa program.
But you know what's happening way
too much is that big corporations
and fraudsters overseas are
using this program to
undercut the wages of American
workers.
So you know, what we're doing in the
Trump administration, we're saying
no more.
If you were trying to take advantage
of that visa program, you were not
allowed in to the united States of
America.
Today I'm proud to announce that
the Federal Department of Labor has
started dozens of
subpoenas and investigations into
foreign fraudsters who are trying to
take advantage of the H-1B
visa program.
Here's a simple principle,
ladies and gentlemen, American
jobs ought to go to American
workers and not foreign fraudster
and the Department of labor is
fighting back against it.
Now here, I want to talk about
something else here.
To my right, to your left,
this is a program, again, there is
so much fraud, or there
was so much of fraud in the federal
government, we're taking it
off of the books, but so
much fraught, I didn't even know
this program existed, okay?
So what is allografts?
These are the skin grafts
that people get when they get a
wound or they get burn, a very,
very important medical procedure.
But a medical procedure that was
being radically taken advantage
of. So if you go back to 2019,
2020, 2021, you see
less than a billion dollars is
paid for these skin grafts.
Again, these are very important
procedures for the people who need
them. What happens under the Biden
administration?
All of a sudden, we go from
less than a billion dollar spent on
these skin graphs to 15
billion dollars in 2025.
And actually, in 2026,
the number was supposed to be $25
billion.
But because we cut down
on fraudulent payments and
fraudulent billing, we saved
you $25 billion.
That number is now well below $1
billion today.
That's a simple,
good government action.
And again, my friends, we
want the people who deserve these
treatments, who need these
treatments to have access to them.
If we spend all your money giving
these treatments to fraudsters,
instead of giving them to the people
who need them, then those programs
aren't gonna exist anymore.
And I just have this very, look,
we're a generous country.
I love that we're generous country,
my family sometimes
benefited from these programs
that ensured that poor children
would have a bite to eat or be able
to see a doctor.
I sometimes had a meal because
the American people were generous
enough to say that we're not going
to let our young American kids go
hungry because their parents can't
afford a bite eat.
I think that's an amazing, amazing
thing about our great country is
we're generous enough to lend a
helping hand to our fellow citizens
in need. But when we
allow, when your government
allows...
Whether in the state or the federal
level, when we allow that
money that ought by rights go
to feed poor children, but instead
goes to fraudsters, we destroy
the social fabric of the
United States of America.
So what I take very seriously as
your vice president, what Derek Van
Orden and Brian Stile take very
seriously as you congressional
representatives, and what Donald
Trump takes seriously as the
President of the United States is
this sacred promise.
That it exists between the
government of the United States and
its citizens.
That when you pay your tax dollars,
it goes to the people who need
it, not to the fraudsters, which
is why we're throwing those
fraudsters in prison.
It's exactly where they belong.
Let me talk about another program.
So we have, again,
these things that I didn't even know
existed until I got into politics.
We have a program, an amazing
program, to help
young mothers.
And I care about this very
personally. Usha is currently
pregnant with baby number four.
She is 37 weeks pregnant.
And I appreciate your prayers.
I love you, honey, if you're
watching at home.
But we have a program to ensure
that at-risk moms can get the
prenatal care that they need.
Now, you may not know this, but one
of the leading causes of
infant mortality in the world
is actually not what happens when
the baby is born, it's what happens
before the baby's born, when the mom
can't get the medical treatment she
needs, when the Mom can't access
to the resources that
she needs.
Okay, we try to solve that problem.
And again, we are able to
do so in part because of
the generosity of the American
taxpayer.
But you know what, in Milwaukee,
with the government of
this state looking the other way,
we had people who were allowing
fraudsters to get rich
off of that prenatal care without
providing a dime of
services to the young moms who need
it. And I wanna point to
this woman.
Now, I want to be clear
that the woman in the back did
nothing wrong,
but look at this woman in front,
with the smug look and the Louis
Vuitton bag, a woman
who quite literally stole
from young mothers who
needed prenatal care,
and the state of Wisconsin,
ladies and gentlemen, had to scale
down that program because of
insufficient funds so that
this woman could go and buy a Louis
Vuitton bag.
There were young mothers in
Wisconsin who did not
get access to the prenatal care that
they needed.
That endangers the moms.
That endangers the babies.
And you know what?
Derek Van Orden and Brian Stile
fought against it, and the
Congressional Democrats that they go
to work with every single day
fought for it.
So here's a simple question, here's
the simple principle.
If you fight to
take money away from needy
moms and give it to this woman
in her Louis baton bags.
You should have your ass thrown
the hell out of Washington, D.C.
You don't belong there.
You don't belong anywhere in a
position of influence.
And I'm sorry, excuse my language, I
know we got a couple of kids in the
audience.
My wife, I love her, she gets on
me all the time because I've got,
I was raised by a gun-toting
F-bomb-dropping grandmother.
And we've got an F-Bomb-Dropping
grandmother right over here, I can
tell.
And, you know,
old habits die hard, ladies and
gentlemen. That's all I'll say.
Even as Vice President, old habbits
die hard. But I try to work on it.
I try work on.
It. And here's what
I want to close with, and we'll
take some questions from the
reporters.
We have an opportunity to keep the
momentum of the last couple
of years, and particularly the
last few months.
We can keep on fighting fraud or
we can reward the fraudsters.
We can kick criminal illegal aliens
out of our country or we could
reward people for stealing your
tax money.
We can protect those moms
who need that prenatal
care.
Or we can give it away to people who
are trying to take advantage of you
and take advantage to the system.
This is not a normal election
because we're not running against
people who maybe have different
ideas about tax policy
or regulatory policy.
To the people watching at home, I
understand you're of course not
gonna agree with the president and
the vice president about every
single issue.
But what I hope we can all agree on
is the simple principle that the
people's government exists to
fight for the people and not the
fraudsters. So
Thank you
So please, help us out
by sending Derek Van Orden
and Brian Stile back
to Washington D.C.
Keep the pro-fraud party out of
Washington.
Keep these guys fighting for you.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
It's an honor to be here.
Yeah.
I'm gonna take some questions here,
but it's funny, you know,
sometimes people call.
I got to make sure it's not the
president. He's over at NATO right
now.
Okay, it's NOT the president
But let me let me start with the
local reporters here and go
ahead guys and fire
away. I'm an open book.
I'll answer any question
Mr. Vice President, welcome to
Milwaukee, welcome to Wisconsin,
welcome back.
I'm Julia Fellow with 620 WTMJ.
You've been overseas.
The president is just coming back
from Turkey.
Remember our understanding.
We're looking at gas prices, what's
going on with the Strait of Hormuz.
The president was saying that he
was going to strike tonight,
like now.
So can you tell us what is going on
right now?
Where are we with the war on Iran?
Yeah, so look, we made
a deal with the Iranians,
and we had to step back a little
bit. Before you even get to the
deal, the simple fact is that
thanks to the incredible efforts of
our amazing US military,
to Pete Hegseth and Dan Kane, the
president of the United States, just
amazing people.
But most of all, thanks to the
troops, we came into the situation
with maximum leverage and maximum
strength.
Their nuclear program was destroyed,
their conventional military was
destroyed.
And you've got some people within
the Iranian system who are saying,
you know what, we want to change
our relationship with the United
States, we want to turn over a new
leaf. And the president said, okay,
we will sit down at the table and
negotiate and see if the
smart people in that system can take
over from the crazy people.
Well, here's the basic deal that we
cut. The basic deal that we cut
was, we'll lift our blockade
if you stop shooting at ships.
But if you shoot at ships, we're
going to punch back and we're gonna
punch back harder than ever before.
That was the deal.
They said they would stop shooting
ships and what happened 24 hours
ago? They start shooting at chips
again.
Now they were good, they were well
behaved for about a week, but then
they start shooting at the ships.
So the deal is very simple.
If they shoot at the ship, we are
going to knock the hell out of them
and it's that simple and that's the
basic way it's going to work.
Now the president maintains a lot of
options. I'm obviously not going to
tell you exactly what's going to
happen tonight, but the president
has said to them very simply,
the Strait of Hormuz is going to be
open. That means oil and gas is
going flow to the American people.
That's why we see
gas prices starting to come down.
That's we see the oil prices so
low is because the president said
that crucial artery through
which we ship a lot of the world's
energy, that artery has got to
remain open.
And that is what the Brainians have
to know. If they try to close it
down, there's going to be a response
for the American military.
It's that simple.
That's the deal.
They can either follow it or they
can have exactly what happened to
them last night. It's just going to
keep on happening until they open up
that lane and stop shooting
at ships.
It's simple.
Next.
Thank you, Mr. Vice President.
Matt Smith from WISN-TV in
Milwaukee.
The president has talked about
election fraud as well a
lot. Just yesterday, Milwaukee's
mayor sent your office a letter
saying he would love to meet with
you and some election officials
here in the city after
agents started asking questions and
interviewing people about 2020
again.
So I'm curious, what can you tell us
about the FBI investigation here in
Milwaukee into 2020 And why
are they re-looking at that election
here in the city?
Well, first of all,
if...
I did get the letter from the mayor
of Milwaukee and he wants
to meet and he's welcome to come to
Washington D.C. I'll sit down and
meet with him. We don't have time to
meet with them today because we have
to get back to Washington but I'm
happy to meet him. I will say it
was a little bit of a
he doth protest too much because
I came here to talk about financial
fraud. I came to talk about the
fraud against our prenatal program
for our young moms and Some
guy sends me a letter, the mayor of
Milwaukee, and says...
We don't do any election fraud, we
don't do any elections fraud, and we
don t do any election fraud.
And my response to that is, you know
what, it kind of reminds me of like
a couple weeks ago, I get
home to the Naval Observatory,
the nicest public housing anywhere
in the United States of America.
And my six-year-old greets me,
and I love my little boy,
but he's a little mischievous, and
he gives me a big hug.
He says, daddy, I'm glad you're
home. I didn't steal any of the
cookies.
I said, huh, that's interesting that
you volunteered that when I wasn't
even talking about that.
Well, of course, he stole the
cookies.
So when I hear a guy protesting
out of nowhere, I did not
do any election fraud.
I did no do any elections fraud.
It makes me wonder, why is that guy
protesting so aggressively?
It's a little odd.
A second thing I'll say is, look,
there's of course this big debate
about how much election fraud
happens in the United States of
America. You guys know my views.
We're not going to settle this here.
First of all, any
election fraud is too much election
fraud in the world's greatest and
oldest constitutional republic.
And number two, if Democrats
want us to stop talking about
election fraud, I make them a simple
deal. Pass the Save America
Act and get voter ID and we'll
stop talking election fraud.
We are the only advanced
democracy anywhere in the entire
world that doesn't require you to
show a voter ID to vote.
It's simple.
Just give us election
integrity laws, give us voter ID,
and then we will have the confidence
to say to the American people
there's no cheating.
But when they say, number one, we
don't want voter ID and number two,
there's not much cheating in our
elections, it's natural for all
of us to say...
Not much cheating is still
way too much cheating, so stop
it and give the American people
voter ID.
Thank you.
Next question.
Thank you, Mr. Vice President.
Vanessa Kelsen, Gray Media.
What will happen if Wisconsin
Governor Tony Evers does not
hand over the SNAP rolls or
the Medicaid enrollment data to your
administration?
Well, look, we're going to look at
what we can do to force him to
give her that data and just to give
some context to the question for
those of you who don't know.
So the snap program,
which is one of the most important
programs that exists in the federal
government, it ensures that low
income families have enough food to
eat when they're down on their luck.
Would you be shocked to know that
most states do
not do eligibility
checks for the snap
rolls anywhere?
Doesn't happen in California,
doesn't happen a lot of other
places. I'm the Vice President of
the United States, and I could
not tell you, not because I don't
want to, but I cannot tell
you whether the state of
Wisconsin has illegal aliens
who are ineligible who
are receiving food stamp benefits
paid for by your tax dollars.
And the reason why I don't t know
the answer is because
the governor of this state will
not give us the data that allows
us to say...
Well, this person is eligible,
this person is a legal alien,
scratch them off the list.
Now ask yourself.
Ladies and gentlemen, that is, in my
view, borderline
criminal.
If you are
administering a program collecting
billions and billions of dollars,
and you don't check whether
the people you're giving that money
to are actually entitled to it,
that is a complete scam that's being
perpetrated on every single person
in this room.
So, what we've asked the Governor
to do is just give us the
data. So that we can check whether
you've got illegal aliens on your
food stamp rolls and he's saying
absolutely not.
And I think the only plausible
explanation for that is that he
cares more about protecting illegal
aliens than he does the good
citizens of Wisconsin.
It's a scam and it has to stop.
Let's do a couple more questions.
Hi Mr. Vice President, Ellie
Oliver-Tay, Channel 3, out of
Madison.
Now last month, the Wisconsin
Department of Justice joined a
multi-suit lawsuit against the Trump
administration over its
implementation of new Medicaid work
requirements.
Our Attorney General wrote, quote,
the Trump Administration is
lawlessly trying to restrict access
to Medicaid coverage.
What's your response?
Well, my response is,
again, we have what
you might call a social contract
in the United States of America.
It exists between all of us
fellow citizens, between those
citizens and their government.
And the basic idea is, when
I hand over a dollar to the federal
government, I expect my
government officials to spend it
wisely, to make sure it's not going
to fraud.
And if you have somebody who is
receiving those benefits, to makes
sure that they're at least looking
for a job.
Before they get a lot of free money
from the federal government.
So when I hear...
When I hear the attorney general of
this state saying that we don't
want to confirm that people are
looking for work before they
receive federal benefits, my natural
question is why are
you so against people looking
for a job?
That's it.
We're not saying that
want anybody to go without medical
benefits. What we're saying is that
we want you, if you're going to
receive these benefits, we want at
least you to try to find a job.
And I think in the same way...
That every single person in this
room and every single taxpaying
citizen of Wisconsin hands
their money over to the government,
it's totally reasonable for them
to expect the beneficiaries of that
money to at least be looking
for work.
That's the contract, and if you
violate that contract, you shouldn't
get a dime of federal money.
Why don't we do one more question.
Hi, I'm Mary Spacusa with Milwaukee
Journal Sentinel Newspaper.
My coworker and I started
investigating prenatal fraud here
in Milwaukee almost a decade ago.
And we noticed that state
officials started investigating
federal officials, federal
prosecutors.
So two part question, do you
think because all those people came
together, is that an example of
people, of people working together
and doing what they're supposed to
do? And what do you do now
to make sure that the women and
babies who are supposed to be
getting help are actually getting
help?
Yeah, so first of all,
the most important way to ensure
that the people who deserve the
help, who need the help actually get
it, is to cut down on the fraud.
Because money doesn't grow on trees,
and there are limited resources.
This is one of the reasons why I
personally care so much about fraud.
I want to save every single one of
you money, but I also want to
ensure, that when a young mom goes
in to get some prenatal vitamins,
and she can't afford them, she's
able to get access to them because a
fraudster hasn't taken advantage of
that program.
Part of what we're trying to do...
Is to ensure that these programs
exist for the next generation.
Look, just take one of the
biggest federal
programs out there, Social Security.
People pay into Social Security for
their entire working lives.
Every single day, or every two
weeks I should say, we get a
paycheck, and we see on that
paycheck the amount of money that is
going to Social Security I
am worried that if we don't stop
sending Social Security checks to
illegal immigrants Thanks.
The people who paid into it for
their entire lives are never gonna
have access to that money.
That's a scam, and it's
totally unacceptable.
So the most important thing we can
do to ensure those benefits exist
for the people who earned them is
to make sure that the fraudsters
don't get them that the American
people do.
But you also asked about this mail
fraud investigation.
And absolutely, the answer to your
question is yes. I think that's a
great example of the federal
government and the state government
working together to cut down on
fraud. And we wanna see that model
replayed and replicated on a number
of programs.
The problem is there are certain
programs that for whatever reason,
most, not all by the way,
because I'll give great credit to
the blue state governors who are
working with us, but most blue
state governor's, if you wanna
check, for example, whether illegal
aliens are getting food stamps.
Most of them are saying, we're not
going to do that.
If you want to check if illegal
aliens are getting access to
Medicaid health benefits, most
of the blue state governors are not
willing to do.
And I think it's just sad
that this should be a bipartisan
issue.
If you're a Democrat and you believe
that Medicaid should exist
to provide good health benefits
to people who can't afford them,
then why don't you want cut down on
the fraud?
If you care more about fraud than
you do about these health benefits.
It starts to make it look
that you care more about illegal
aliens than you do about the
citizens of Wisconsin.
That's what it looks like to me.
So I'll say to the governor
of this state, even though he's not
in my political party, the attorney
general, anybody else,
you have an
open offer.
To come into the White House and to
talk about how we can combat fraud
together.
I will work with you.
I will make it easier.
I will give you federal resources.
I will do whatever I need to do.
But it's got to be a two-way street.
If you're hiding the food
stamp rolls because you don't want
to tell us whether illegal aliens
are getting food stamped, that's
not cooperation.
That is you hiding
criminal conduct from the American
people, and it's a scandal, and it
absolutely has to stop.
So let me just close here with
an observation, and that's that
we're getting into election season,
and you all obviously care a lot
about politics, and sometimes
in election season it starts to feel
a little bit like Red Team and Blue
Team. People look at the fundraising
numbers, they read the media
stories, they
read scandals, particularly in
Maine, if you're into political
scandals.
Might I recommend a Google search on
Graham Plattner?
But...
We ought to remember that this is
not red team versus blue team,
this is about whether the American
people get wise and
honest political leadership or
whether they are represented by a
bunch of crazy people in their
Congress.
Every two years the American People
get to vote on who represents them
in the United States Congress and
the United States Senate.
Every two year we come
together as a country and make this
determination together.
My pitch to the voters out there,
especially the voters who haven't
made up their minds on Derek
Van Orden, on Brian Stile, on all
of our great congressional
representatives.
It's not that you're going to agree
with us every single time.
Because nobody, even a committed
Republican, is not going to agree
with me on every single issue.
It's NOT that we're always
going to see eye to eye.
What I will tell you is that
what separates Derek Van
Orden and Brian Stiles and all these
great congressional representatives
from their Democrat counterparts.
Is that right now the Democrats
don't even pretend to be fighting
for you.
Now we could disagree, for example,
about what should the police
department's budget be.
That's a reasonable, rational
conversation for Republicans and
Democrats to have.
That's not the conversation that
we're having.
We're having the conversation about
whether we support our police
officers, which is what Republicans
want to do, or whether we abolish
police departments, which what the
Democrats are proposing to do.
We can
We can talk about what our exact
immigration level should be.
Of course, reasonable minds are
going to disagree.
But that's not the debate that we're
having. The Democrats that are
running today are running on
abolishing ICE and opening up
the American southern border.
We can disagree.
We can agree about tax policy
and what the optimal tax rate should
be, that's not what they're doing.
The Democrats are running to
confiscate your money and
give it to fraudsters and illegal
aliens. They openly brag
about fighting not for you,
but fighting for some of the worst
human beings that exist anywhere
in the world.
This is not a normal election.
And so my request to you is not
that you say that the Vice
President is right about every
issue. My request to is
that you send people to
Washington who are of good character
and recognize that you are
their boss. Not the fraudsters,
not the illegal aliens.
And not the bosses of the
21st century Democratic Party.
There are a lot of Democrats out
there, a lot independent and of
course a lot of Republicans who look
to Washington and don't recognize
the congressional leadership of the
Democratic Party in 2026.
Well, I'd say to you, if you don't
recognized that congressional
leadership, you can join
this movement.
If you want an American
political party that fights for the
police instead of against them, Vote
for Derek Van Orden and Brian Stile.
If you want an American political
party that cuts your
taxes instead of raising your
taxes to give it to fraudsters,
then you've got to support Glenn
Grothman and Tony Weed.
If you want somebody who ensures
that whether you're rich or poor
or black or white, public
safety should be the
God-given right of every single
American, that you ought to be able
to walk down the street without the
fear of being mugged, that your
ought to take your family to a nice
dinner downtown without having your
car jacked, if you believe in
basic public safety for all of us,
rich or or poor, then send Michael
Alfonso to Congress.
Don't send the crazy person running
against him.
My point is that this is not a
normal election of people
who disagree about this or that
issue.
By and large, there are exceptions
of course, but by and large the
Democrats have thrown their lot in
with the people who want to abolish
the police, who want open the border
and want to give your money to
fraudsters instead of moms
who need it.
Ladies and gentlemen, I have a
simple request.
When you go to the ballot in
November, when you cast your
vote, send us people to
Washington, D.C.
Who fight for you and
send the crazy people back
home where they belong.
God bless you and thank you for
having me here in Milwaukee.
Detroit Auto Worker, let me
thank you for your time.
You work a 40-hour week for
a living.
Just to send it on down the line.
Hello, Pittsburgh Steel
mill worker, let me thank for your
times.
For a living,
I get to send it on down to mine.
This is for the one who swings the
hammer.
I have to check in
with my supervisor.
I'm good.
Um...
And, um,
you can if you want, you shouldn't,
you should, I mean, cause like,
you're just like,
I'm the guy that Captain Colfax told
me this morning that like,
he's like, you just do what you
gotta do.
Alright guys, we gotta
go.
We are breaking down.
We are breaking, I told you, I
already told Hannah, you couldn't
hold Hannah until she was on the
stage. Give us two seconds, two
seconds.
All right.
Thank you.
It's what happens when you pick up
food you don't want to say it so
many times.
The team was blocking and zipping it
up.
Bye!
