WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:04.000
How's everybody doing?

00:04.000 --> 00:08.000
Come on, how's everybody doing?

00:08.000 --> 00:12.000
Are you guys ready to save this state?

00:12.000 --> 00:16.000
Are you ready to save our state?

00:16.000 --> 00:20.000
This is Wisconsin. We know we know close elections.

00:20.000 --> 00:24.000
On their side, there's a close election. On our side,

00:24.000 --> 00:28.000
Tom Tiffany won.

00:28.000 --> 00:32.000
This is going to be whatever candidate

00:32.000 --> 00:36.000
comes out on the Democratic side. This is going to be a contrast election.

00:36.000 --> 00:40.000
A contrast election between the radical Democrats, socialist

00:40.000 --> 00:44.000
policies that left and the common sense policies of

00:44.000 --> 00:48.000
all of us in this room and Tom Tiffany. Do you agree?

00:48.000 --> 00:52.000
The other side wants to raise your utility rates

00:52.000 --> 00:56.000
through crazy, green, new deal policies. Tom Tiffany wants to

00:56.000 --> 01:00.000
lower your utility rates so you have more money in your pocket.

01:00.000 --> 01:04.000
The other side looks at

01:04.000 --> 01:08.000
every problem wants to spend money. They want to spend money in their plan.

01:08.000 --> 01:12.000
Their plan is to raise your taxes.

01:12.000 --> 01:16.000
Tom Tiffany knows you work darn hard for that money

01:16.000 --> 01:20.000
and we're going to put more of that money back in your pocket.

01:20.000 --> 01:24.000
We need Tom Tiffany in the governor's office.

01:24.000 --> 01:28.000
The other side wants to end school choice.

01:28.000 --> 01:32.000
Tom Tiffany knows that moms and dads should be able to choose a school that's best

01:32.000 --> 01:36.000
for their child. This

01:36.000 --> 01:40.000
is a contrast election.

01:40.000 --> 01:44.000
We've heard the left talk about all sorts of topics.

01:44.000 --> 01:48.000
Tom Tiffany is talking about the topics that matter to all of us

01:48.000 --> 01:52.000
in the state of Wisconsin and this election is going to be a lot more than just between

01:52.000 --> 01:56.000
red and blue. This election is about the future of

01:56.000 --> 02:00.000
our state. Do we want to listen to the sirens call of socialism

02:00.000 --> 02:04.000
and radical liberal policies and the path that takes us down?

02:04.000 --> 02:08.000
Are we going to listen or are we going to drive forward with common sense

02:08.000 --> 02:12.000
policies that gets this state back on track?

02:16.000 --> 02:20.000
We know who can do that. We can save this state.

02:20.000 --> 02:24.000
We can pull this state together because we know in the state of Wisconsin

02:24.000 --> 02:28.000
our best days are in front of us and so

02:28.000 --> 02:32.000
let's give a big welcome to the man that I call my friend, the man from northern

02:32.000 --> 02:36.000
Wisconsin, the damn man, the next governor of this state, the state of Wisconsin

02:36.000 --> 02:40.000
and that is our next governor,

02:40.000 --> 02:44.000
Tom Tiffany.

02:50.000 --> 02:54.000
Thank you.

02:58.000 --> 03:02.000
How do you like that Congressman Brian style?

03:02.000 --> 03:08.000
First off I want to start by saying thank you.

03:08.000 --> 03:12.000
You are the reason that we've knocked over

03:12.000 --> 03:16.000
250,000 doors already in this campaign.

03:16.000 --> 03:20.000
You are the reason our common sense message

03:20.000 --> 03:24.000
is being delivered in every corner of the state of Wisconsin.

03:24.000 --> 03:28.000
Yes. And you are the reason

03:28.000 --> 03:32.000
why we are going to turn the governorship red in November, aren't you?

03:32.000 --> 03:36.000
Yes.

03:36.000 --> 03:40.000
You know as a kid who grew up on a small

03:40.000 --> 03:44.000
dairy farm in Elmwood I cannot tell you truly how

03:44.000 --> 03:48.000
humbling this is.

03:48.000 --> 03:52.000
This state gave me every chance to achieve the American dream.

03:52.000 --> 03:56.000
My wife and I were able to start our own small business

03:56.000 --> 04:00.000
and most importantly it gave me my family.

04:00.000 --> 04:04.000
My wife Chris and our three daughters

04:04.000 --> 04:08.000
I just want to deliver a message to my wife Chris. I love you

04:08.000 --> 04:12.000
and I look forward to seeing you again soon.

04:12.000 --> 04:16.000
Thank you.

04:16.000 --> 04:20.000
Unfortunately she had to work tonight along with lots of

04:20.000 --> 04:24.000
poll workers across the state of Wisconsin.

04:24.000 --> 04:28.000
This isn't about just where I live though this is my home

04:28.000 --> 04:32.000
just like it's your home. I love Wisconsin but I

04:32.000 --> 04:36.000
see the direction that our state is going in and I know

04:36.000 --> 04:40.000
that we can do better. You know we can do better don't you?

04:40.000 --> 04:44.000
Our property taxes are among the 10 highest in the country.

04:44.000 --> 04:48.000
Our utility rates

04:48.000 --> 04:52.000
are the second highest in the Midwest

04:52.000 --> 04:56.000
and from 2018 to 2025

04:56.000 --> 05:00.000
we ranked number 40 in job creation.

05:04.000 --> 05:08.000
These aren't numbers that are just on a page.

05:08.000 --> 05:12.000
They represent working families struggling to keep more of their paycheck.

05:12.000 --> 05:16.000
They represent parents wondering

05:16.000 --> 05:20.000
whether their children are getting the education they deserve

05:20.000 --> 05:24.000
and they represent graduates wondering whether they'll be able to

05:24.000 --> 05:28.000
land a job here. This is why the

05:28.000 --> 05:32.000
fight matters. This isn't a

05:32.000 --> 05:36.000
typical election about red versus blue. This is an

05:36.000 --> 05:40.000
election about the very soul of the state of Wisconsin.

05:40.000 --> 05:44.000
It's about what kind of Wisconsin we're going to leave

05:44.000 --> 05:48.000
the next generation. Do we pass on a Wisconsin

05:48.000 --> 05:52.000
built on freedom?

05:52.000 --> 05:56.000
Freedom and opportunity? Or do we accept a future

05:56.000 --> 06:00.000
where government gets bigger? Taxes

06:00.000 --> 06:04.000
keep rising. In opportunity becomes harder to find.

06:04.000 --> 06:08.000
No. Because at the heart of this election

06:08.000 --> 06:12.000
is a fundamental difference in how we see Wisconsin's future.

06:12.000 --> 06:16.000
Democrats want government to have more.

06:16.000 --> 06:20.000
I want government to be open,

06:20.000 --> 06:24.000
transparent and accountable to you.

06:24.000 --> 06:28.000
Yes.

06:28.000 --> 06:32.000
You know how to spend your paycheck

06:32.000 --> 06:36.000
better than any politician. You know how to raise your kids better than any

06:36.000 --> 06:40.000
bureaucrat and you know how to build your future better than any

06:40.000 --> 06:44.000
government ever will. The question isn't

06:44.000 --> 06:48.000
whether government should promise more. The question

06:48.000 --> 06:52.000
is who will pay for all of those promises.

06:52.000 --> 06:56.000
And every time government grows, the bill grows

06:56.000 --> 07:00.000
with it, doesn't it? And sooner or later

07:00.000 --> 07:04.000
the bill lands on your doorstep.

07:04.000 --> 07:08.000
We have seen it with property taxes. We have seen it with health

07:08.000 --> 07:12.000
care costs. We have seen it with the waste

07:12.000 --> 07:16.000
and fraud that goes on. And we see it in the size of our state

07:16.000 --> 07:20.000
budget. A budget that went up 15%

07:20.000 --> 07:24.000
in 2025.

07:24.000 --> 07:28.000
For the first time topping over a hundred billion dollars.

07:28.000 --> 07:32.000
And I have a couple simple questions for you.

07:32.000 --> 07:36.000
Did your government services get 15% better?

07:36.000 --> 07:40.000
Did our schools get 15% better?

07:40.000 --> 07:44.000
Did our roads get 15% better?

07:44.000 --> 07:48.000
We're going to go back to common sense in Madison.

07:48.000 --> 07:52.000
We're going to respect the taxpayers

07:52.000 --> 07:56.000
who foot the bill. And we are going

07:56.000 --> 08:04.000
to make government accountable to the working people of the state of Wisconsin.

08:04.000 --> 08:08.000
And so if you're with me

08:08.000 --> 08:16.000
Yes, it is time for you,

08:16.000 --> 08:20.000
Betcha. Are we going to end the 400-year property tax

08:20.000 --> 08:24.000
increase? Are we going to audit every corner of state

08:24.000 --> 08:28.000
government? Are we going to protect our farmland

08:28.000 --> 08:32.000
from big data centers?

08:32.000 --> 08:36.000
And are we going to stand up

08:36.000 --> 08:40.000
for safe communities and make sure there are no sanctuary

08:40.000 --> 08:44.000
cities in the state of Wisconsin?

08:44.000 --> 08:48.000
And are we going to put education back at the center of our schools, pay good

08:48.000 --> 08:52.000
teachers more money and protect girls sports?

08:52.000 --> 08:56.000
No!

08:56.000 --> 09:00.000
These guys are good at this.

09:00.000 --> 09:04.000
No! No!

09:04.000 --> 09:08.000
No! No! No! No! No!

09:08.000 --> 09:12.000
No! No! No! No! No! No!

09:12.000 --> 09:16.000
No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!

09:16.000 --> 09:20.000
Yes, tonight is about you.

09:20.000 --> 09:24.000
It is about the farmers that get up before sunrise,

09:24.000 --> 09:28.000
the small business owners opening their doors, the parents working over time

09:28.000 --> 09:32.000
to give their kids a better life, the teacher who shows up every day

09:32.000 --> 09:36.000
because they believe in their students, and the Wisconsin family

09:36.000 --> 09:40.000
that simply wants a fair shot.

09:40.000 --> 09:44.000
Whatever your political label, Republican,

09:44.000 --> 09:48.000
independent, politically homeless or a Democrat,

09:48.000 --> 09:52.000
is a place for you in the common sense movement.

09:52.000 --> 09:56.000
If you want your children and grandchildren to grow up in the land of opportunity,

09:56.000 --> 09:59.000
join us.

09:59.000 --> 10:04.000
If you're ready for new leadership that puts Wisconsin families first,

10:04.000 --> 10:08.000
join us. If you want to keep what makes Wisconsin,

10:08.000 --> 10:12.000
Wisconsin, then join us.

10:12.000 --> 10:16.000
We inherited freedom from those who came before us.

10:16.000 --> 10:20.000
Now it's our responsibility to preserve it

10:20.000 --> 10:24.000
for those who come next. The fight is

10:24.000 --> 10:28.000
bigger than just one party. The fighter is bigger,

10:28.000 --> 10:32.000
the fight is bigger than just one candidate. The fight is about

10:32.000 --> 10:36.000
Wisconsin. So I ask you tonight to stand with me.

10:36.000 --> 10:40.000
Stand with me for our fight, for lower taxes

10:40.000 --> 10:44.000
and good paying jobs. Stand with me

10:44.000 --> 10:48.000
as we demand accountability of our state government.

10:48.000 --> 10:52.000
Stand with me as we fight for

10:52.000 --> 10:56.000
better schools and safer communities. Stand

10:56.000 --> 11:00.000
with me as we protect the Wisconsin way of life

11:00.000 --> 11:04.000
and stand with me as we move Wisconsin forward.

11:04.000 --> 11:16.000
Because Wisconsin's best days are ahead of us, aren't they?

11:16.000 --> 11:20.000
They are ahead of us. If we stand together

11:20.000 --> 11:24.000
work together and believe in the people of this great state

11:24.000 --> 11:28.000
there is nothing we cannot accomplish.

11:28.000 --> 11:32.000
We must fight.

11:32.000 --> 11:36.000
We must fight. We must fight for what we believe in as Wisconsinites.

11:36.000 --> 11:40.000
We must rise to meet the challenge.

11:40.000 --> 11:44.000
For our freedom, for our future,

11:44.000 --> 11:48.000
for Wisconsin.

11:52.000 --> 11:56.000
Thank you. Thank you all for joining us tonight

11:56.000 --> 12:00.000
and let's deliver victory on November 3rd.

12:00.000 --> 12:04.000
Yeah.

12:30.000 --> 12:36.000
School bus driver in a traffic jam

12:36.000 --> 12:42.000
staring at the faces in a rearview mirror

12:42.000 --> 12:50.000
looking at the promise of the promised land.

12:50.000 --> 12:58.000
One kid dreams their fame and fortune.

12:58.000 --> 13:02.000
One kid helps pay her rent.

13:02.000 --> 13:06.000
One could end
