00:00Thank you, thank you, please. It's great to be in Peachtree City, and I gotta say, you guys have got a hell of a congressman. How much do we love Brian Jack here in the 3rd District of Georgia? Thank you, Brian.
00:30Now, we've got a few other people. I want to thank, of course, the great EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin Lee. Thank you so much. And proud Atlanta native Kelly Loeffler, thank you for all you're doing at the Small Business Administration.
00:46All right, you guys are lucky to have a great Trump-endorsed Lieutenant Governor Burt. Burt, good to see you, man. How we doing?
00:58Burt greeted me on the tarmac today. He had been on the tarmac, I think, for a few minutes, because he was sweating bullets. And that hot Atlanta sun, I felt bad for him. But Burt, thank you. You're going to make a great governor for the state of Georgia. And we're with you every step of the way.
01:15Now, I understand we've got a little preview. This is my idea. A little preview of the Senate race here in the great state of Georgia. How'd they do, ladies and gentlemen? Do good?
01:28Let me thank Coach Derek Dooley. Derek, thank you for being here. Let me thank Representative Buddy Carter. Buddy, thank you. Good to see you, man. And, of course, the great Mike Collins. Mike, thank you for everything that you do. It's good to see you, man.
01:43Now, here's the thing. We're at a great American facility. I want to thank these great workers behind me. I feel bad for these guys, because they've got to stand up the whole time I'm talking.
01:55You guys get to take a seat. And, boys, strap in, because we're going to be up here for about three hours. You give a politician a microphone, and it's always tough. Boys and girls. We've got a few ladies back there, too.
02:06But here's the thing. This facility, this manufacturing plant represents what makes America great, because the products that you build, the jobs created here, the ingenuity, and the technology, and the development, and all the things that actually make America run are built right here at this incredible facility.
02:27So thank you to Alta. Thank you to the workers, and thanks to the people who make this facility run.
02:33Now, I heard something before I went on, because there's this big refrigerator right behind me, right? And somebody told me it was 13 tons. Is that right?
02:43That's a big refrigerator. Now, am I also right that a lot of the products that you guys make go into Chick-fil-A? Is that right?
02:53Okay, I know that's a great Atlantic company, but as a customer, a frequent customer at Chick-fil-A, I've got a personal connection, because you guys make a great American company.
03:03And that's what I love about this country. When you guys make a great product, it enables more great products to be made.
03:10That creates more jobs for our people. That creates more American innovation, and it creates more prosperity for the American worker.
03:19And I'm here, of course, as a representative of the President of the United States that has done more for the prosperity of the American worker than a president, any president in a generation.
03:29So can we give it up for President Donald J. Trump? Because I know he's watching.
03:34And I know what the President ran on, and what the President cares about is building things right here in the United States of America.
03:58It's another reason why I'm proud to be at Alta today. Because for a generation in this country, we had American presidents and American political leaders.
04:07And let's be honest, folks, it wasn't just Democrats. It was Democrats and Republicans who would ship our jobs overseas, close our factory doors, and do not a damn thing for the American worker.
04:18So how nice is it in Washington, D.C. to have a government that is going to protect your jobs, that's going to fight for this facility, and say, very simply,
04:27if you're building it here, if you're making it here, if you're producing it here, we are going to give you, and already have given you, a big fat tax cut.
04:35That's a good thing.
04:36But if you make it overseas, if you try to do something with a foreign worker as opposed to an American worker, if you try to ship our great American jobs and great American factories overseas,
04:55then you are going to pay a big fat tariff before you bring that crap back into the United States of America.
05:06And that's what President Trump's economic policies are all about, my friends. It's the carrot and the stick.
05:13We want to make it easier to build in America. We want to make it harder to build overseas.
05:18We want to make it easier to rely on our great American workers, because we've got a lot of them, American businesses, ought to employ American workers.
05:27And we want to make it harder to employ foreigners to take those jobs from the Americans who deserve them.
05:33And most importantly, if you're working hard every single day right here in the United States, or if you're building a business right here in the United States,
05:40you ought to have a tax code that rewards you instead of punishes you.
05:45And that's what happened when we passed the working families tax cut just a couple of months ago.
05:50And of course, Brian Jack was a critical part of that, so you should be proud of your congressman.
06:00Now, what does this law mean for you?
06:02What this law means for you is that your take-home pay is going to go up over $10,000 over the next few years.
06:08What that means is that if you're working an hour of overtime, the federal government is going to keep its money the hell out of your pocket.
06:17Because if you're working hard, the government ought to leave you alone. Ain't that the truth?
06:21Do you have any single moms out there? Any single dads? Any people who work hard every single day?
06:33I had a single mom, and for a time my mom worked at a restaurant. She waited tables, like a lot of folks out there.
06:41And you know what we did in this new law? We said that if you're working hard and you're making your income via tips, we are not going to tax tips anymore because we want to give everybody out there that's working hard for those tips a little bit of relief.
06:55And that's what the working families tax cut did. No matter where you are in this country, if you're working hard and played by the rules, you ought to have a government that stands up for you instead of fights against you.
07:10That's why we increased the child tax credit in the working families tax cut. That's why we eliminated taxes on overtime and on tips. And that's why we had the biggest tax cut for families that this country has ever seen.
07:25Because we believe that you ought to keep more of your hard-earned money. And we believe that if you're busting your rear end every single day, the government ought to make it easier for you and not harder for you. And that's why we fought for that legislation.
07:40Now, I am just a vice president. I'm just a lowly politician, but I'm going to try my hand at prophecy today, ladies and gentlemen, because I see the future of the state of Georgia. And in about a year, you are not going to be able to turn on the television without Senator John Ossoff pretending that he supported the working families tax cut. And when in reality, he voted against it.
08:08And I saw a TV clip of him today. You know why he said he voted against no taxes on overtimes? You know why he said he voted against no taxes on tips? You know why he said that he voted to raise your taxes by the biggest amount in a generation in this country?
08:24Because he's allegedly worried about people getting kicked off their health care.
08:29Well, you know what the president of the United States made a promise, a sacred promise, that the only people who are going to lose access to health care are illegal aliens who shouldn't be in this country to begin with.
08:40Because I happen to believe that Medicaid belongs to American workers and American families. I happen to believe that when you are struggling in this country, we're generous people and we want to help you.
09:03But we want to help the people who have the legal right to be in the United States of America. So it's not about kicking people off of health care. It's about kicking illegal aliens the hell out of this country so that we can preserve health care for the American families who need it.
09:22And that's what the Democrats never talk about. That's what they'll never tell you. They'll say, well, Republicans want to do this to health care. They want to do that. They want to, they want to do all these terrible things.
09:35When in reality, if you look at what the Democrats have done, what they've tried to do is to allow millions and millions of illegal aliens into this country to give them benefits that ought go by right to American citizens.
09:48And then to attack Republicans when we dare to stand up for the American citizens who have the right to be here. So when you watch those TV commercials in a year and John Ossoff, I tell you, he's going to pretend to be a reasonable moderate.
10:02He's actually going to run TV advertisements. I promise you, because I ran against a guy like this in the state of Ohio where he says that he supported President Trump's agenda.
10:11But in reality, while John Ossoff pretends to be a moderate when he comes to Atlanta, he is a far left liberal in Washington, D.C. And that's the only place that it actually counts if you're a United States Senator.
10:26So why, why don't we ask John Ossoff, why did you vote to raise taxes? Why did you vote to keep illegal aliens on Medicaid? Why did you vote to bankrupt Medicare? Why did you vote to make sure that people who work overtime and earn their income from tips pay as much to the federal government as possible?
10:44And the simple answer is because John Ossoff, whatever he pretends to be in his television commercials, he doesn't give a damn about the third district and he doesn't give a damn about the people of Georgia, but we do. And we're going to fight for you every single day.
10:58Let me just leave you, my friends, with a final thought. I want to thank you all for being out here. And again, thank the folks behind me, the great workers of this facility. And I'll take a few questions. Should I take a few questions from the media?
11:25Okay, I'll do that. So we'll take a few questions from our great reporters, hopefully some local reporters back there. But I'm sure some national fake news as well. But, you know, I went to Union Station in Washington, D.C. yesterday. Anybody here ever been to Union Station? Okay. It's a beautiful, beautiful building, really a monument to American greatness. I was walking around, I was looking up at it, these beautiful high ceilings. It looks like something out of a fair
11:55fairytale. And I remember that two years ago, when I took my kids to Washington, D.C.'s Union Station, I actually had a crazy person screaming at my three year old kid. Because for some reason, and I never understood this, American leaders decided it was compassionate to allow people to fester on the streets, yelling at our young families, instead of giving them the medical care that they need and getting them off the streets, which by the way, makes it easier for
12:25us to all enjoy these great public spaces in our country. And I haven't been to Atlanta in a little while, at least now with the Secret Service detail, I haven't walked around Atlanta in a little while. But I bet that as great as Atlanta is, and as beautiful of an American city as it is, there are places in Atlanta where you wouldn't take your family today. Is that correct?
12:47Just like in Washington, D.C., the national capital of the greatest nation in the history of the world, there are no go zones where you would not take a young family or you would not take young children.
12:58And that's true, I'm sure all across the state of Georgia, all across our country, because our leaders decided that they would make our streets safe for criminals, instead of safe for the people who pay our taxes and keep our communities going.
13:13And I think that of all the things that I'm most proud of the president, the thing that I'm most proud about is that he finally put the government to work for the people who actually make this country function and run in the first place.
13:25We're cutting taxes for American taxpayers. We're securing the border. We've got 99% reduction in illegal border crossings in this country because we've got a president who empowered Border Patrol to keep us safe.
13:38And we've got a president who's standing with law enforcement to make it easier to clean up our streets, to make them safe for our young families.
13:51If you're a person, I don't care what your political party is, but if you're a family and you want to take your kid to a nice meal in downtown Atlanta, it's about a 40-minute drive, take your kid to a nice meal in downtown Atlanta, you ought to be able to without being harassed by a criminal.
14:06We've got to take America's streets back for the American people, and that's what the president of the United States is doing every single day.
14:19And as a person who grew up in a family where we often struggled with money, you know, it is never the rich people that lack public safety in this country.
14:27When we go to war against our cops, when we flood the border with illegal immigration, when we close down great American factories, it is the people the Bible calls the least of us that struggle the most and hurt the most.
14:40So I'm proud to be here as your vice president. I'm proud to be here as a representative of President Trump.
14:50But I'm most proud that we have an administration that is making it easier, whether you're rich or poor, to walk down the street with a semblance of public safety.
15:05I'm most proud that we're fighting for the jobs of the people behind me and the jobs of every single working person in this country, and we're fighting to make sure that you pay low taxes instead of a bunch of garbage to the federal government.
15:17I'm proud that we serve an administration that cares more about American citizens and our public safety than giving Medicaid and Medicare to illegal aliens, which is what John Ossoff wants to do.
15:28In other words, I am proud that the kind of family that made me who I am, finally, has a representative and a fighter in Washington, D.C.
15:37I promise you, we'll keep on fighting for you every step of the way.
15:41God bless you, and thank you for having me.
15:47I don't think I'm going to get the same chant from the fake news media, do you?
16:15But we'll let him ask some questions anyway.
16:18Let's take a few questions back there from the rafters.
16:21I would prefer to take at least a few local media questions first, and then we can get to the national folks.
16:27Semper Fi, sir.
16:28God bless you.
16:31I think we have a microphone back there.
16:33If we could pass it around.
16:34Sir, go ahead.
16:35Mr. Vice President, I'm Richard Elliott with WSB-TV here in Atlanta.
16:38You've heard the criticism from Democrats that making the Trump tax cuts permanent comes at a cost to Medicare, SNAP benefits, and other things like that.
16:48How would you answer some of those criticisms by the Democrats?
16:51Yeah, well, I appreciate that question.
16:53Look, there are a couple of responses to that criticism.
16:55First of all, the only people that we say should not get free government health care benefits are illegal aliens and those who refuse to try to even look for a job.
17:06It's very common sense.
17:08We want, and look, we are going to bankrupt this country if we keep on giving the people's benefits, the people's Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security benefits to illegal aliens who have no legal right to be in this country and never paid into the system to begin with.
17:26That is never the design of those programs is to give them to every person all over the world.
17:31They ought by right to belong to the American citizens who paid into those programs to begin with.
17:37And that's what we're fighting to make sure happens.
17:41And the second response I'd say to that is, look, we did a lot in this legislation.
17:49Brian worked on it.
17:50The other representatives here worked very hard on this to make sure that a lot of our rural hospitals are struggling because of some of the policies of the Biden administration.
17:58So what we did is we put a lot of resources and a lot of changes in regulations to make it possible for our rural hospitals to stay open despite what the Biden administration did to them for four years.
18:10So our policy is very simple.
18:12Whether you're in a big city or a small town, we're going to fight for your access to health care.
18:17Whether you're an American citizen who's been here for 70 years or an American citizen who's been here for two years, we're going to fight for your access to a government that serves you.
18:26But if you're an illegal alien, you do not deserve government-paid health care benefits.
18:32You need to get out of our country.
18:34And that's as simple as that.
18:43Next question.
18:46Mr. Vice President, Greg Blustein with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
18:49Thanks for being here.
18:50I have a follow-up to Richard's great question on those health care funding cuts.
18:56There are Georgia Republican leaders who are legitimately concerned that more than 100,000 people could be knocked off the Medicaid rolls, not just people who are here undocumented or illegally, but people who are working class who are struggling to get their health care.
19:10What message do you have for state Republican leaders on what they should do to reconcile those issues?
19:14Well, the first thing I'd say is to state Republican leaders and, frankly, state Democratic leaders, if you're worried about American citizen losing access to health care, the Trump administration always has an open-door policy.
19:26And we've worked with a number of our colleagues, Democrats and Republicans, at the federal legislature but also at the state level to make it possible to ensure that American citizens have access to the medical benefits that they need.
19:38It's as simple as that.
19:40So you're always going to have an open door.
19:41Now, we understand that reforms are complicated.
19:44Sometimes this stuff takes time to work itself through the system.
19:48Many of the changes in the working families' tax cuts to Medicare or, excuse me, to Medicaid, you're not going to see that stuff.
19:55It's not even – some of it doesn't even go to effect for six or seven years, in part because we want to give enough time to work with people to make sure that American citizens do not lose access to those critical benefits.
20:06So if you look at the way we design the law, if you look at the way that those reforms are implemented, and if you look at all the other things that we're doing, we want to work with people to make sure that American citizens get what they're entitled to.
20:19What we do not want is people who have no legal right to be here to benefit from the generosity of the American taxpayer and to bankrupt those programs.
20:28So long as you're willing to work with us on those goals, we'll work with anybody, whether you've got a D or an R next to your name, because we care about this country.
20:34We want to make sure it's secure and healthy.
20:43Next question.
20:43We had a couple hands back here, but –
20:45We're at a school back there.
20:47We're at a school back there.
20:50Okay, we got a school back there.
20:51We do.
20:52Okay.
20:53Let's give them a microphone.
20:55My name is Virgil Garrett.
20:56Thank you, Mr. Vice President.
20:58Of course.
20:59I'm here with the Central Educational Center, CCSTV.
21:01The CEC is a college and career academy focused on training high school students to enter technical and trade industries.
21:08Can you tell us how the Big Beautiful Bill will impact us and our prospective jobs?
21:12And also, how is the administration focusing on schools like ours?
21:16So tell me – is it – you said your name was Virgil?
21:20Virgil, tell me a little bit more about your school.
21:23So, Central Educational Center, we have classes focusing on trade and other industries.
21:28We have audio, video, aviation, cosmetology, dentistry, and students have –
21:34Got it.
21:35Okay, thank you.
21:36He asked me – Virgil, he asked me to comment on the school.
21:38I figured I should learn a little bit about it.
21:41I should learn a little bit about it before I commented on it, but I appreciate the clarification there.
21:46I mean, our proposal and our principle in the Trump administration is quite simple.
21:51We want Americans to be able to pursue their American dream.
21:55Whether that means going to a trade school or going to a four-year education, going to the military, we want to give you as many options as possible.
22:02And what happened for a long time in this country is that you had both parties, both sets of leaders saying,
22:09no, no, no, no, the only pathway that we're going to fund, the only pathway we're going to help you with is if you want to get a four-year degree.
22:16If you want to get a four-year degree, great.
22:18But if you want to be a plumber or an electrician or a pipe fitter, your government ought to fight for you, too.
22:23And that's exactly what we want to make happen.
22:25And I do, you know, Virgil, part of that is policy.
22:34Part of that is making sure that things like Pell Grants and other federal benefits, they don't pick and choose.
22:39They don't discriminate against our great trade schools.
22:42But part of that is leadership.
22:44And I think it's important for those of us who are in positions of leadership to say that, you know, there are so many great careers,
22:50so many great careers that require you to use your hands and your head at the same time.
22:55Where you can earn a great living, you can build something great for your fellow citizens and people in your community.
23:01We're not going to have enough housing.
23:03We're not going to have plumbing that works.
23:05We're not going to have lights that turn on unless we've got enough people going into our trade schools.
23:10We've got to have more kids doing it and more young people doing it because they're the ones building the American dream of homeownership.
23:16They're the ones building the future, and we're going to fight for you every step of the way.
23:20Thank you for your question, Virgil.
23:25And let's do a few more questions here, and then I'm going to have to hit the road.
23:31Sir.
23:33Where have we got a microphone?
23:34Good afternoon, Vice President.
23:34Raul Bally, WABE Radio here in Atlanta.
23:37Wanted to ask you about something, your final topic on safety.
23:41Do you see the administration putting soldiers in the city of Atlanta?
23:45Well, look, what we've done is we have focused on Washington, D.C. because it's a federal city under our jurisdiction.
23:52But we certainly hope that whether it's Atlanta or anywhere else, people are going to look around and say, we don't have to live like this.
23:58It turns out if you just go and arrest the bad guys, you can have cities and streets that are safe again.
24:03And we hope that people see what we're doing in Washington, D.C. and follow our example all across the country.
24:09I'm a big fan.
24:11Look, I grew up in a small town.
24:13I love our beautiful countryside and our rural areas, but I love our big cities, too.
24:18And I want you to be able to go shopping or go and get a nice meal with your family without the fear that you're going to get mugged or even worse,
24:24because you have the audacity to take your family out for a day in one of our great American cities.
24:30We don't have to live like this.
24:33All we need is politicians who actually care more about public safety for American citizens than they do for violent criminals.
24:40In Washington, D.C., in 10 days, 10 days of what Donald Trump has done in Washington, D.C.,
24:47did you know armed robberies are down 55 percent in our nation's capital?
24:51It's amazing.
24:54You know, murderers in Washington, D.C. are down over 35 percent.
25:00Again, that's in a week and a half of just taking crime seriously.
25:05And there's something, you know, Democrats had this weird sickness in the head five, six years ago,
25:12where they decided that all law enforcement was racist.
25:16You know who suffers the most, especially in our urban areas,
25:19when you don't allow the police to enforce the laws against bad guys?
25:23It is the good citizens, disproportionately black Atlantans, who suffer the most from high violent crime,
25:31because you've got more or at least a disproportionate number of black Georgians living in Atlanta compared to other places.
25:37So when you empower police to prosecute violent criminals, that's not racism.
25:43That's empowering everybody, black or white, to live safely in their communities.
25:48And that should be the God-given right of every American citizen to walk down the street in safety and comfort.
25:54God bless the city.
26:04I know you're here to talk about business and manufacturing.
26:08I wanted to ask you about the spending bill's impact on individuals.
26:11There was a nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office report that came out last week
26:16showing that the bottom 10 percent, the poorest Americans, would lose about $1,200 a year on their income,
26:24while the top 10 percent, they would add about $13,000 annually to their income.
26:29Can you justify for those poorest Americans those differences?
26:33Well, first of all, the Congressional Budget Office, sometimes they put out reports that are absolutely atrocious,
26:39and I think this is a good example of a very atrocious report.
26:42The most important thing for people who are living at the bottom of the income ladder
26:51is that they not pay taxes on their income sources.
26:56So if you're working hard and you're working overtime, you're going to get a big fat tax cut.
27:00If you're working at a restaurant or some other business where you're earning your wages primarily through tips,
27:06you're going to get a big fat tax cut.
27:07And most importantly, the President's economic policies are going to prevent your job
27:12from being shipped off to Asia or to Mexico.
27:14That is the very best thing for people at the bottom of the income ladder,
27:18and that's why we have the economic policies that we do.
27:21If you go back 50, 60 years,
27:24what is the fastest period for blue-collar wages rising in the United States of America?
27:30It is the time that we are living in right now,
27:33thanks to the economic policies of Donald J. Trump.
27:36You know what the worst thing for people at the bottom of the income ladder is?
27:39It's when you flood the country with millions upon millions of illegal aliens
27:43and force our poor Americans to compete for jobs against low-wage foreigners
27:49who don't even have the legal right to be here.
27:51That is what destroys the wages and the livelihoods of people who are struggling in this country.
27:57We want to empower them to live the American dream.
28:00That's why we're protecting their jobs, lowering their taxes,
28:03and fighting to make their country safe again.
28:07And I'll do one more question.
28:13Sir, I'm George Chidi.
28:16I write for The Guardian.
28:17I live in a small town, less than 1,000 people.
28:20I'm also a military veteran.
28:22I am a DINFO-strained killer just like you.
28:24Thank you for your service, George.
28:27In 1996, in Atlanta, when the Olympics was coming through,
28:32Atlanta very famously rounded up people who were homeless on the street, downtown,
28:38bought them bus tickets, and sent them out of town and off and out of state.
28:42There's a lot of negative sentiment about that later.
28:45It's one of the things that people remember.
28:46I am concerned that in the press to eliminate encampments in D.C., something similar to that
28:53is happening.
28:55What is happening to the people who are homeless, often poor, often have a mental health problem
29:03or a drug problem?
29:04Where are they actually going when these encampments are being broken?
29:08So, first of all, George, I was 12 years old when the 1996 Summer Games happened in Atlanta,
29:15so I don't remember exactly the background there.
29:18I was worried about football and fishing and doing all the things that a 12-year-old in
29:23Southwestern Ohio was worried about.
29:24But I think that the question betrays a certain misunderstanding of what we're trying to do
29:33and what is the nature of real compassion.
29:36I talked earlier about my son being harassed at Union Station a couple of years ago.
29:40Now, first, as a father, you have some vagrant screaming crazy stuff.
29:45I'm sure a lot of us have had this experience where you have some vagrant screaming crazy stuff
29:50at your three-year-old.
29:51As a father, my first reaction is, grab my son closer, make sure that he's safe.
29:56Okay, then you realize the person's not going to maybe run and charge and attack us.
30:01We'll just keep our distance.
30:03But then you think, wait a second, why have we convinced ourselves that it's compassionate
30:08to allow a person who's obviously a schizophrenic or suffering from some other mental illness,
30:13why is it compassionate to let that person fester in the streets?
30:16You see them, they're, you know, a lot of them have clear mental health issues.
30:23A lot of them have clear physical health issues.
30:26They're not properly clothed.
30:27They're not properly cared for.
30:29Some of them are wasting away.
30:31The compassionate thing is to have people who are having mental health crises,
30:35to get them in treatment, not to let them sit on the streets and yell at our people
30:40while they're walking by.
30:41And so the president actually signed an executive order to make it easier for some of these people
30:51to get access to mental health treatment.
30:53And I don't know for the life of me what happened in this country where we decided that the compassionate
31:00thing was to let somebody fester on the streets instead of be, instead of get the treatment that
31:06they need, it's very simple to me.
31:08And I don't know why we accepted as parents and as grandparents and as people who just
31:13want to walk down the street in comfort, why we accepted that it was, that it was reasonable
31:18to have crazy people yelling at our kids.
31:21You should not have to cross the street in downtown Atlanta to avoid a crazy person yelling at your
31:28family.
31:28Those are your streets paid for with your tax dollars.
31:32And you ought to be able to use them like any other citizen in this country.
31:38So let me, let me, let me close.
31:40I know I, I said that was the last question.
31:43So let me just close with this thought.
31:45You know, there are, there are a number of things I could say about President Trump's leadership
31:48and a number of things I could say about what we're trying to accomplish in the Trump administration.
31:53Put very simply, we're trying to make America great for Americans again.
31:57When you hear that phrase, make America great, we want you as a taxpayer, as a worker, as
32:05a business owner, we want you to be able to enjoy the incredible benefits and bounty of
32:11the United States of America.
32:12This country was built by your grandparents, by your parents, by your forebears.
32:19You ought to have the right to live a good life in this country that wouldn't even exist
32:24were it not for the hard work of so many generations who came before us.
32:28They didn't put in that work.
32:29They didn't build this great country.
32:30They didn't carve the greatest civilization in the history of the world out of a wilderness
32:35so that their ancestors and their descendants could see it fall into disrepair.
32:41They did not build.
32:42Look at Atlanta.
32:43It's a beautiful city.
32:44It's one of the most beautiful cities anywhere in the world.
32:46The people who built Atlanta did not build it so that you would not be able to walk down
32:51the streets of Atlanta safely at night.
32:53They built it so that you could enjoy it.
32:55They built this country so that we could make an even greater America out of it.
33:00And the policies of the Trump administration are meant for one simple reason.
33:04To empower you to live a great life in this country that all of us love.
33:09We've got a lot of work done in the last seven months.
33:12We're going to do a hell of a lot more work in the next three and a half years.
33:16And we're going to fight for you every single step of the way.
33:18God bless you.
