00:00God bless each and every one of you. I'm House Majority Leader Steve Scalise from
00:14the great state of Louisiana.
00:21Now I was born in New Orleans, so I've seen some crazy things in my time. But
00:26New Orleans has nothing on Washington D.C. these past four years. Joe Biden and
00:32Kamala Harris have spent your tax dollars trashing America's finances in
00:37ways no sane or sober-minded person ever would.
00:41Let's talk energy. They've eroded the American energy dominance that President
00:47Trump delivered. Joe Biden approved the Nord Stream pipeline for Russia, but he
00:54killed the Keystone pipeline here at home. Thousands, thousands of American
01:01jobs gone. It doesn't end there.
01:04Biden let Iran and Venezuela export their oil, but he stopped liquefied
01:11natural gas exports here in America.
01:16President Biden's not done. President Biden waived taxes on Chinese solar
01:21panels, but he raised taxes on Americans. When we elect Donald
01:29Trump as our next president and expand our Republican House Majority, we will
01:34end the Democrats' assault on American energy once and for all.
01:43Now let's look at taxes. Biden and Harris won a $5 trillion tax hike, and our
01:51first hundred days, President Trump and a Republican majority will make the Trump
01:57tax cuts permanent. And yes, we will end taxes on tips and deliver
02:08another tax cut for working families. On the border, Biden and Harris opened it up
02:16to the entire world. Prisons are being emptied. President Trump and a Republican
02:23majority will repass H.R. 2, the strongest border security bill in decades.
02:28We will lock down the border, and yes, we will finish building the wall.
02:46On voting, our most sacred right as citizens, voting. Biden and Harris want
03:07illegals to vote now that they've opened up the border. Republicans will repass
03:13the SAVE Act to block illegal aliens from voting in our elections. On foreign
03:23policy, Biden and Harris brought us weakness and war. President Trump and a
03:29Republican majority will begin rebuilding our military and will end the
03:34woke indoctrination in its ranks. We will restore American power and peace. On
03:43education, Biden and Harris opposed school choice. They actually investigated
03:49parents at school boards. President Trump and a Republican majority will pass
03:53legislation expanding school choice and will repass the Parents' Bill of Rights.
03:59Parents should be free to choose what their children are taught and where.
04:06Now, lastly, I need to say something about Saturday's attempt on President
04:17Trump's life. Many of you know I was the survivor of a politically motivated
04:24shooting in 2017. Not many know that while I was fighting for my life, Donald
04:31Trump was one of the first to come console my family at the hospital.
04:43That's the kind of leader he is. Courageous under fire. Compassionate
04:51towards others. Let's put Donald Trump back in the White House this November so
04:57we can make America great again. God bless you.
05:01May Donald Trump continue to receive God's blessing and God bless these great
05:07United States of America.
