00:00Hello, America. I'm Mike Rogers, candidate for the United States Senate for the great

00:11state of Michigan. And I want to give a quick shout out to my fellow Michiganders, the hardest

00:19working people in the United States. God bless you right there.

00:22I said because Joe Biden and my liberal opponents runaway spending, American families have been

00:31crushed by inflation, high costs of groceries and gasoline and rent. I was talking to a

00:39grocery clerk just recently. She said, I got it when this carts got a little skinny at

00:44the beginning of Joe Biden's administration because of high costs. But what breaks my

00:50heart is at the end of ringing up an order, they have to reach up and pull something

00:55off the counter and put it back in their cart. Thanks to the Democrats in Washington, D.C.

01:02The most expensive vehicle to operate in Michigan in 2024 is your grocery cart. Thanks to the

01:08Democrats in Washington, D.C. And while pockets are pinched, Biden is trying to force you

01:17to buy an electric vehicle. Better get a long extension cord. Let me be clear. EV mandates

01:30will destroy American jobs. EVs require 40 percent less labor to build than gas cars.

01:38And here's the kicker. Eighty five percent of the critical minerals needed to build them

01:44are processed in China. It is impossible to build an EV without getting into bed with

01:53the Communist Party of China. Listen, my opponent even signed an agreement to use taxpayer money

02:00to bring a Chinese battery company to Michigan. Your taxpayers money. I'll tell you this.

02:08I will never put our children's future at the hands or the matter of fact, the Michigan

02:14auto business in Michigan in the hands of the Chinese Communist Party. And it's the

02:21Republicans that are going to stop them from doing that.

02:27I'm committed to keep Americans safe from threats both at home and abroad. As a former

02:34Army officer, FBI special agent battling organized crime and chairman of the House

02:40Intelligence Committee, I've seen how dangerous the world can be. But in all my time working

02:47to protect America, I have never seen anything like the Biden Harris open border policy.

02:54They are rolling out the red carpet for violent gangs, fentanyl, Chinese spies, individuals

03:02on the terrorist watch list. And listen, our adversaries aren't stupid. They know that

03:08all they need to do is wait until nap time at the White House to push the limit.

03:14Does anyone really believe that another four years of Biden, Harris and the Democrat Senate

03:20will make us safer or more prosperous? I certainly don't. And I don't think Michigan does either.

03:29Listen, it is long past time that we restore law and order. We make groceries affordable

03:37again. We make America respected again. We make America safe again. We flip the United

03:44States Senate and elect Donald Trump and make America great again. Thanks. Get fired up.

03:51This is the election to do your work. God bless.
