00:00I kind of like a little Ted Nugent keep going. That's good stuff. Actually, okay, that's

00:19a good question. Let's start with this. Who was there on election eve of 2016? I had the

00:29honor of speaking at that. Who was there on election eve of 2020? You know, I had the

00:37honor of speaking at that one, too. Ted Nugent and I have something in common. That's about

00:42it, I think. I can't play a guitar, either. But I just want to say welcome to West Michigan.

00:47I'm Bill Huizinga. I'm the Trump-endorsed candidate for the 4th Congressional District

00:53and I am thrilled to be here today with you. Now, I also, I also have endorsed President

01:01Trump. We did that in June. Actually, Jack and Tim and all of the Republican Michigan

01:06delegation did that. Now, not just this past June, June of last year, so 13 months ago,

01:14we came on board because we knew Donald J. Trump was the right man at the right time

01:18for the right job. Don't you agree? That's right. So, you may be asking yourself, well,

01:27at least the media might be asking themselves, Grand Rapids, Michigan. Why are we in Grand

01:32Rapids, Michigan? Why are we in Michigan at all? Well, I'll tell you why. I'll tell you

01:37why. It's Trump country, that's right. But it's also a self-declared, quote, blue wall

01:44from Joe Biden's campaign. Well, guess what? Joe Biden, just like Hillary Clinton in 2016,

01:50is going to find out that that blue wall here in the Midwest, in Wisconsin, Michigan, and

01:54Pennsylvania, that wall is crumbling for them like a cookie and it's going in for Donald

01:59Trump. So, Donald Trump knows that. That's why he's here. And in fact, he even took a

02:08guy from Ohio to come here. Okay, pause for boos from the Michigan fans. I know. But we're

02:17making progress, folks. We're making progress. J.D. Vance did admit he needs Michigan. Now,

02:24that might be the first time we've seen that from a person from Ohio. But we know that

02:29Michigan is part of this because, guess what? The road to the White House runs through Michigan.

02:34And what happens when we deliver Donald Trump at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, we have to make

02:40sure there's two other allies there. A Senate majority, and that's why we need to get Trump

02:46endorsed Senator Mike Rogers elected here from Michigan. And we need to have a House,

02:53a Republican majority in the House. And Michigan's got an amazing opportunity with people like Tom

03:00Barrett to be able to add seats to that majority. And here's why it's so important. In 2017,

03:06February 14 of 2017, the first bill that President Trump signed into law happened to be a bill that

03:13I authored. And it had to do with energy security. Now, guess what? That agenda of border security,

03:19energy security, economic security, that goes nowhere if Donald Trump doesn't have allies

03:27up from 1600 Pennsylvania at the Capitol. So that's why we need to make sure he has a

03:32Republican majority in the House and the Senate. And he needs one other vital thing.

03:37This movement, our movement, this Make America First movement, is a Michigan First movement.

03:45But guess what, folks? Donald Trump is making you, you the movement right there,

03:52and he's putting you first. It's not just make Michigan and make America first and great,

03:57it's make you great. So thank you everybody for being here. We're looking forward to this

04:01election. We're going to be working hard, working hard, and let's deliver Michigan.
