00:00Hello, Michigan. Hello, my fellow patriots. I'm the owner of a home remodeling business
00:09that my father Steve started in 1972. During the Trump boom, we were thriving. Under Biden,
00:18we are surviving. I know other business owners like many of you in this room can relate.
00:25With the financial strain caused by the Biden-Harris economy, many clients are tightening their
00:31belts, closing their wallets, and cutting back on their home remodeling projects. To
00:37keep work coming in, I've had to lower my margins, and I mean lower them. I'm now barely
00:44making payroll, and our family is just half as enough to live on. But we can't build up
00:49any savings, and we can't move forward. As parents, we want to provide for our children.
00:57But more and more parents like myself have to look their little girl or their little
01:01boy in the eye when they're asked for something and say, we can't afford it. Those four words
01:07are heartbreaking. We didn't have to say those words under Donald Trump when he was president.
01:14That's because Donald Trump is a businessman, not a crooked career politician.
01:31President Trump understands what business owners need to succeed, because he is a business
01:36owner himself and has succeeded. He knew we could create millions of great jobs if given
01:44the chance, and we did. The Trump's tax cuts and regulation cuts empowered entrepreneurs
01:51like you and me and enabled us to expand our businesses. We need him back in the White
01:58House. As a representative of Michigan at this convention, I want to give a special
02:14Michigander thank you to President Trump for being our champion. He has inspired so many
02:27of us, even in this room, to step up and get involved in the fight to save America.
02:34With his leadership and our help, we will make America affordable again, wealthy again,
02:41and great again. May God bless each and every one of you. May God bless and continue to
02:56protect President Trump and his family. And may God bless the United States of America.
