02:42 - we have the privilege and the opportunity to lead the way this year in the election

02:47 - Pennsylvania is the swing state

02:50 - in the country

02:52 - so as good as Pennsylvania the country goes

02:56 - all almost exactly evenly divided

02:59 - when you look at our registration numbers

03:01 - that Scott and others have worked so hard on

03:06 - and democrats when you look at our state house

03:09 - it is one hundred and two democrats to one

03:11 - hundred and one Republicans it does not get

03:13 - any closer than that

03:15 - and you work

03:16 - at.

03:16 - All state senate it's

03:18 - the other way twenty seven Republicans twenty three democrats

03:21 - and this election is absolutely crucial

03:24 - does Pennsylvania want to be more like

03:27 - new York

03:28 - new Jersey California

03:30 - higher taxes less freedom

03:32 - declining population or do we want to be more like

03:35 - growing states like Tennessee Florida tech access

03:38 - that is the choice that we have on the ballot today

03:41 - and we need people who are

03:43 - focused on growing our state

03:46 - we have an amazing opportunity here in Pennsylvania

03:49 - beneath us we sit on the Saudi Arabia

03:52 - of natural gas

03:53 - we have the best workforce in the country

03:56 - we have amazing educate tunnel institutions hospitals

03:59 - cultural we are continuously in our region is rated

04:02 - as one of the best places to live in the world

04:06 - that's why I chose to start my own company here to raise my family here

04:10 - because I know how great

04:12 - that Pennsylvania is

04:13 - but we

04:14 - need a leader

04:16 - who can take Pennsylvania to the next step

04:18 - was not looking at

04:20 - another office

04:21 - but who's going to

04:22 - focus on making Pennsylvania the best it can be

04:25 - and I know that in Stacey guarantee we have that leader

04:28 - we have someone who served our country in the military

04:32 - who

04:32 - was

04:33 - god

04:33 - award after award for her service in Iraq

04:36 - who

04:37 - is a business leader who knows how to grow a

04:39 - business who knows what it takes to create jobs

04:43 - and

04:43 - someone who's already served our state

04:46 - as the person who received the most votes

04:49 - ever in the state of Pennsylvania as our state

04:52 - treasurer

04:54 - and so I am very excited to now introduce our

05:02 - next governor of Pennsylvania

05:05 - Stacey garrity.

05:07 - Hi.

05:22 - Oh happy birthday

05:24 - if he.

05:29 - You guys thank you so much for coming out and that

05:33 - it's so great to have Scott pressler in the house

05:36 - isn't it.

05:39 - And my good friend Jeremy thanks for the kind introduction

05:44 - and I would thank your chair but he's been traveling with me for two days so I'm not

05:48 - sure how much you had to do with this

05:50 - but you know what

05:51 - if you want to fire him that just vote for him

05:54 - tomorrow

05:55 - because then it can't be your chair.

05:57 - That's really a joke

05:58 - and it's nice to have some young people here it is so great

06:02 - but I love being in allegheny county young people over there it's

06:05 - yeah it's wonderful but you guys I'll just touch a little bit of

06:09 - my military background so this is my first

06:11 - public office that I think a lot of you know

06:13 - but not my first time in public service

06:16 - Sarah spent thirty years then the army reserve now I'm going to

06:19 - date myself

06:21 - so operation desert storm

06:23 - operation enduring freedom operation Iraqi freedom

06:26 - so hit my mandatory retirement age in two thousand and sixteen

06:30 - had I not hit my mandatory retirement date I would have never

06:33 - even considered running for treasure because serving was

06:37 - and is the one honor of my lifetime

06:40 - but I have to say thank you.

06:42 - Huh

06:45 - but I do have to say as your state treasure every

06:48 - day that I get to wake up and serve pennsylvanians

06:51 - is truly a blessing.

06:54 - Now I want you to think about that so two hundred and

06:56 - fifty years ago this summer our founding fathers did

06:59 - something

07:00 - totally

07:01 - amazing

07:02 - what a gift to us

07:03 - based it up.

07:06 - To the entire wall to the largest empire the

07:08 - world had ever seen and what did they say

07:10 - enough

07:11 - is enough.

07:13 - Our commonwealth is the birthplace

07:15 - of freedom

07:16 - and Liberty

07:18 - and it's the place where

07:20 - america is enjoying dream

07:22 - of life Liberty and the pursuit of happiness begin

07:25 - but today

07:27 - that dream of life Liberty and the pursuit of happiness is fleeting

07:30 - for summer and the commonwealth and that is because of the failed

07:34 - policies of Josh shapiro.

07:37 - Now we have a governor you will know this

07:39 - that is more interested in Pennsylvania Avenue

07:43 - than helping Pennsylvania families

07:46 - and that's exactly why I'm reading really wasn't on my bucket list

07:50 - but you know what.

07:52 - When you consider we rank thirty eighth economically.

07:56 - Thirty ninth in education

07:58 - although top ten in spending

08:00 - thirty first

08:02 - overall

08:03 - three thousand deficient Bridges

08:05 - our infrastructure is the same minus I could go on and on I won't but I'll end with

08:09 - this one because I am your state treasure

08:11 - we.

08:12 - Spend

08:12 - five billion one dollars more a year

08:15 - than what we bring in.

08:17 - So.

08:18 - It's absolutely crazy because think about the blessings that we have

08:22 - we have the best

08:23 - hardest working people

08:25 - you

08:25 - know that.

08:26 - We have

08:27 - world class industries

08:29 - I mean look at what we have here in the Pittsburgh area

08:32 - we have natural resources that are the envy of the entire world

08:37 - we are the Saudi Arabia of natural gas

08:40 - but it's you know we're squandering our blessings

08:43 - but here's my message

08:45 - it doesn't

08:46 - have to be that way

08:48 - with everything we had we should be leading the nation

08:51 - and all these metrics not being in the bottom

08:54 - okay

08:54 - so we have to make sure that we are not failing our kids up

08:58 - and letting them fall behind in the classroom

09:01 - we need to make sure our children are set up for success

09:04 - so whether they want to pursue a four year degree

09:07 - a two year degree

09:08 - get technical or vocational training or just enter the workforce

09:12 - after high school

09:13 - we need to make sure that they are set up

09:16 - to succeed

09:17 - and guess what parents

09:18 - not

09:19 - bureaucrats

09:20 - should decide

09:21 - the best

09:22 - way to educate their kids

09:23 - right.

09:25 - He.

09:29 - Can

09:30 - be the hub of global commerce

09:33 - that we should be

09:34 - so that when those kids

09:36 - you know

09:37 - they stay here instead of leaving for other opportunities

09:41 - raise their families here and start businesses here.

09:45 - Emily we will unleash the natural gas that we have right under our feet

09:49 - because that is going to create tens of thousands

09:52 - of.

09:53 - Family sustaining jobs

09:55 - create billions of dollars in economic

09:57 - opportunity that our communities desperately need

10:01 - okay and when we do all that

10:03 - yeah we're going to be able to

10:04 - lower your property taxes

10:05 - income tax get rid of the

10:07 - death tax

10:08 - okay

10:09 - does that sound good.

10:11 - Huh

10:14 - okay

10:15 - now listen

10:15 - we all know

10:17 - that shapiro.

10:19 - Is he's not going to be easy to beat but guess what

10:21 - failure

10:22 - is not

10:23 - an option

10:24 - and I want you to consider what happened don't forget

10:27 - this what happened in Virginia this past November

10:30 - right Abigail spam berger

10:32 - ran as a matter didn't she's got

10:34 - sound familiar

10:35 - and what did she do

10:37 - immediately when she came into office

10:39 - she reduced

10:40 - mandatory

10:41 - minimum sentences

10:43 - for rape

10:44 - child porn

10:45 - and assaulting police officers.

10:47 - Banned him counting of ballots for any reason whatsoever

10:51 - Scott cooperation with ice

10:54 - and you know what she came close to succeeding in this thank god she did

10:57 - gym manager those congressional districts

11:00 - and they would have never gotten their state back again

11:03 - still I think it could take a generation alright

11:06 - so.

11:07 - Not on my watch

11:08 - not on your watch

11:09 - because if Josh shapiro

11:11 - what he wants he said he's laser focused on two things

11:14 - so the first being

11:15 - flipping for us house seats

11:18 - so that's Fitzpatrick Mckenzie bresnahan

11:21 - and Scott Perry

11:22 - and

11:23 - he said he is laser focused on getting the trifecta in the state.

11:27 - So you guys.

11:29 - Jeremy shaffer would like a friend

11:31 - just won.

11:32 - So we can take back the statehouse

11:34 - and I want you to think about this.

11:37 - We.

11:37 - Have a three seat state senate majority

11:40 - and they stop

11:42 - all

11:42 - the crazy bills

11:44 - that's why you don't see

11:45 - and you know all the crazy second amendment bills

11:49 - all the the green energy

11:50 - so many things that don't make it because the senate won't run them

11:55 - so I'm going to tell you this

11:56 - if somehow shapiro got in

11:58 - and took the trifecta you guys he would have to go so

12:02 - far

12:02 - to the left.

12:04 - Because

12:05 - that is the only way he can get any interest.

12:08 - In running for president.

12:10 - Alright so we're not going to let him habit that

12:12 - happen at all are we.

12:14 - Ok no not on my watch

12:16 - not I never watch but

12:18 - think about this when you draft shapiro and you've never had.

12:22 - A serious challenge

12:24 - in ten races.

12:26 - When you haven't had a negative ad run against you Emma at least a decade.

12:31 - It is so easy to start thinking

12:33 - that it's all about you

12:35 - and you forget about those voters that elected

12:37 - you that you're supposed to be serving.

12:40 - So memo

12:41 - that I'm new to politics but I am not new to the

12:44 - demand for transparency and accountable realty.

12:47 - The army teaches you to stand firm because your mission is

12:51 - to protect those people that you serve

12:53 - and when you're in a foxhole.

12:56 - Your battle buddy doesn't ask you what your political affiliation is.

13:00 - Do they.

13:01 - They

13:02 - want to know that you

13:04 - have

13:05 - their back

13:06 - and I promise you I promise you I will always

13:10 - have your back.

13:12 - Hey.

13:19 - I will wake up every day with one goal one goal in mind and that is how

13:23 - do

13:24 - I make the lives of pennsylvanians better.

13:27 - Now our state has led before

13:29 - we are the state that sparked

13:31 - a revolution

13:33 - we are the state that powered

13:35 - the industrial

13:36 - revolution and we are the state

13:37 - that built

13:38 - the American working class

13:40 - there is no reason

13:42 - none

13:43 - that we can't lead again

13:45 - but you know what.

13:46 - Leadership matters

13:48 - accountability matters

13:49 - and putting Pennsylvania families first matters.

13:53 - This is

13:54 - thank you.

13:56 - Hi.

13:57 - This is our moment.

13:59 - This is a turning point and I mean this I believe

14:01 - this from the bottom of my heart or I wouldn't run.

14:05 - Together together everybody in this room we can restore

14:09 - opportunity

14:10 - affordability and promise to our great commonwealth.

14:14 - Hey

14:19 - now it is my honor

14:22 - to get to and

14:22 - introduce your hometown guy

14:25 - Jason ricci our next lieutenant governor

14:27 - so.

14:28 - Don't come here know.

14:31 - So.

14:32 - You

14:33 - know I'm not

14:34 - I have a lot to say about you.

14:37 - So I am so thrilled to be running with somebody there is going to be such a wonderful

14:42 - governing partner what I love about Jason

14:44 - number one is not a career politician right.

14:47 - Number two

14:48 - he has blue collar roots.

14:51 - Right he put you guys all know this he put himself through college on a wrestling

14:54 - scholarship put himself through law school working at the steel mills in aliquippa pa

14:59 - and so he loves western Pennsylvania

15:02 - and what is great about him

15:04 - is that he has skin in the game

15:05 - because he has three sons.

15:08 - Arguing to college oh they all Russell surprise surprise

15:11 - and so Jason has skin in the game because he wants these kids

15:15 - to stay in Pennsylvania

15:18 - right get married here raise their families

15:19 - here this is where he wants his grandchildren

15:22 - and start businesses here

15:24 - so Jace knows great

15:25 - I was a little irritated because the Pittsburgh po the gazette today.

15:29 - Ran an article about the gentleman running

15:31 - against him which you all know he's a bad bad guy

15:34 - right and talked about how he's

15:36 - not you know he's running against the establishment he's not

15:40 - you know against the endorsement blah blah blah

15:42 - and so you guys know

15:45 - that.

15:47 - If we had the other person

15:49 - on the ticket we would explain between now and

15:51 - the general why we're not a party of racists

15:54 - okay

15:55 - so with that

15:56 - Jason ricci is absolutely

15:59 - the best person that I could have

16:01 - to run with and I personally called him and asked him to run so with that.

16:42 - we've come all the way

16:44 - across the state this is the end

16:47 - of a statewide journey

16:49 - we started in Philadelphia

16:51 - would seem like a long long time ago on Sunday that we went to allentown.

16:57 - From allentown we went to wilkes barre

17:01 - and we

17:02 - we stayed in a hotel there

17:03 - that wilkes barre

17:05 - we get a radio show rally

17:08 - then we did a Philadelphia radio interview

17:11 - with the Harrisburg

17:13 - with johns town

17:15 - and now we're here

17:16 - with

17:16 - many many radio

17:18 - we are working or tails off.

17:21 - Because we were going to win

17:23 - in November.

17:25 - Hey

17:30 - now.

17:31 - Just to

17:32 - give you guys how I got into this

17:34 - cause you know

17:35 - I love being the chair love being here my headquarters here or cac

17:40 - get my picture on the wall Jon would you do it.

17:44 - I love it

17:45 - and I was very happy working here

17:48 - and the progress we have been making in

17:50 - allegheny county we're going to continue to do it

17:53 - we have a role we are the most important

17:56 - to you guys

17:57 - we are the most the board committee of all of them.

18:00 - We can get forty percent here

18:02 - we can't Wednesday why

18:04 - begin Wednesday while you cannot win the presidency united states

18:07 - so as allegheny county committee people we take that very seriously

18:12 - and I took it very seriously.

18:14 - But then Stacey Cole

18:17 - and I

18:18 - was

18:19 - thinking about it

18:20 - but she said

18:21 - hey.

18:23 - This is an important election I want you to campaign with me

18:27 - I want you to

18:28 - government

18:29 - and.

18:31 - I know from running.

18:33 - For governor four years ago oh

18:35 - my wife most over there will tell you

18:37 - you you you have to

18:39 - drop

18:39 - your life

18:40 - everything you're doing at that moment.

18:43 - Commit to this extraordinary endeavor because the state is so big

18:47 - is sober and I've driven adorned turnpike

18:50 - too many times

18:52 - but always told her I gotta think about

18:55 - and then.

18:56 - The hammer called

18:58 - the fellow wrestler

18:59 - center Dave mccormick

19:01 - and Dave said Jason you've gotta do it

19:04 - this is going to be the most important

19:06 - election

19:08 - in Pennsylvania history and what happens at the top of the ballot

19:12 - impacts everything else.

19:14 - Plus de I gotta think about.

19:16 - So I started to think about it

19:19 - and I thought about the fact.

19:22 - That this is the first time since I've been in college.

19:26 - That the democrats could take full control

19:29 - of the Pennsylvania governor

19:30 - they just need two senate seats

19:33 - and.

19:34 - Ships zero is one of the most liberal

19:37 - politicians despite what his PR is

19:40 - and what he has lined up to prove his

19:42 - worth

19:43 - as a far left liberal for a presidential primary.

19:47 - The house democrats in December pass an abortion bill that

19:50 - would allow abortion on demand up to the day of birth.

19:54 - When republican senators pass the bill

19:58 - to prevent men from being in girls' sports.

20:02 - Shapiro called them extremists.

20:06 - Shapiro then filed a lawsuit

20:08 - is currently pending

20:09 - to make sure that kids under the age of eighteen

20:13 - can get healthcare for gender transition those who are mono and mutilation

20:19 - and on top of that

20:20 - he has a budget

20:22 - that is seven billion over what we bring in

20:25 - and he wants to get rich

20:26 - entire rainy day fund and put a bunch of new taxes

20:29 - on you

20:30 - that's his vision.

20:32 - For Pennsylvania

20:34 - move.

20:35 - Then you think about it from the federal level

20:38 - and I heard Stacey talking about the endangered species or congressmen

20:42 - if we lose those spots

20:45 - and we lose the house evaporates tentative.

20:48 - The united states government is going to move into two years of impeachment trials

20:52 - and nothing's going to get

20:54 - accomplished

20:55 - that's not good.

20:58 - And then I thought

20:59 - about all the reasons why I ran for governor four years ago.

21:03 - They all still exist

21:04 - we are away forty first out of fifty overall performance.

21:08 - Horrible we have more natural resources the most countries of the world

21:12 - we sit on the perfect spot on planet earth between Chicago DC Boston new York.

21:17 - We should be thriving.

21:20 - Seven out of

21:21 - ten

21:22 - eighth graders right now in Pennsylvania.

21:25 - Are not proficient in math or read.

21:28 - Unacceptable

21:30 - and you know it from living here.

21:33 - We are the

21:34 - top ten most tax people in the country

21:37 - and we are in the top five for people fleeing our state

21:41 - and I go all up and down western Pennsylvania you can see it doesn't matter if you go

21:45 - to union town my hometown aliquippa new castle Sharon

21:48 - johns town that we just came from

21:50 - erie.

21:52 - Towns are dying and you can visibly

21:55 - see it

21:56 - because so many people are or leaving.

21:59 - So when I put that all together.

22:02 - I said to myself.

22:05 - I better call Stacy

22:07 - and I called Stacy and I said very simply

22:10 - amen.

22:12 - Yeah fine

22:18 - and I want you to know

22:19 - that I'm not in because I need a title.

22:23 - I got one of those.

22:24 - I'm chair.

22:26 - And I don't need a job I got a real good one again no gates downtown

22:31 - partner for the partner and a lot with the largest law firms in the world.

22:35 - So I don't need a job

22:37 - but when I

22:38 - also recognize

22:40 - is that we are only two seats away from taking full control of the government

22:45 - we need one house

22:46 - that's Jeremy's friend that he needs

22:48 - right one new friend

22:50 - and one governor seat which that's what Stacey and I are going to provide

22:53 - and if we do that

22:55 - we can put conservative economic principles into play

22:59 - that will help the lives of millions and millions of people

23:03 - could in many right here in Pittsburgh.

23:05 - Hey

23:09 - now Stacey also said.

23:12 - I do have a personal agenda.

23:15 - That's because Melissa and I

23:17 - have three boys Justin Logan

23:19 - Marcus

23:20 - all wrestlers

23:21 - are all out working very hard right now putting

23:23 - signs at every polling place around allegheny county.

23:27 - That's why they're not here

23:29 - and

23:30 - but we we want them to live

23:33 - here.

23:34 - We want them to get married here

23:37 - we want our grandchildren

23:40 - to live here

23:41 - because that's happiness when you're around

23:42 - friends and family that love you and care about you

23:45 - that's what life's all all about but right now

23:48 - Pennsylvania is not a place of opportunity for our kids

23:52 - it is a place they are forced to fleet

23:55 - and I know about opportunity.

23:58 - I grew up in aliquippa Pennsylvania

24:01 - and I grew up at a time when the steel mills were failing

24:05 - and our mill was Jane I structural

24:07 - geno

24:08 - Jones in law

24:09 - and when it went down.

24:11 - Or people hurt

24:12 - like I can my mom was a

24:14 - shootout group of girls basketball coach and gym teacher my dad was a mechanic.

24:19 - So we were a little insulated from it

24:21 - but I can remember us doing meals on wheels making sure people had food

24:25 - it was that bad

24:27 - and I can remember my classmates disappearing from

24:29 - my classes one day because they had to move away

24:32 - or my friends'

24:33 - parents getting divorced because of the economic stress

24:36 - aliquippa was a tough town to grow up in but it taught me at a very early age age.

24:43 - Nothing is given to you

24:44 - you have to work for it

24:46 - you have to earn it.

24:48 - And that's always been with me

24:50 - my my growing up

24:52 - and I was a wrestler Russell

24:53 - hope well high school

24:54 - also wrestled at allegheny college.

24:57 - In meadville

24:58 - where I was the third wrestler in college history to have one hundred wins.

25:03 - That I get it I get a pause here for that most people say Jason why do you mentioned

25:09 - that wrestling thing in your political speech

25:11 - and I just tell him I want him to know I can take Josh shapiro at any moment.

25:15 - No problem

25:16 - no prob.

25:19 - But then in the summers.

25:22 - I went to law school

25:23 - in the

25:23 - summer

25:24 - I worked in the last remaining steel mill in aliquippa

25:28 - and the reason they hired a summer kids was because it was so hot

25:32 - it's hot today is a hundred and thirty degrees in these places and the old union guys

25:38 - they used to put them in the air conditioning

25:40 - and then every once in a while they come out and sweep and then they

25:43 - they'd run right back in the air condition

25:44 - they gave us the hardest physical labor jobs to do

25:48 - and you would have black stuff on you you had to scrub off like with special soap or

25:52 - you blow your nose and all this crap would come out of your head you're like

25:56 - how that all get in there

25:58 - but the one thing I always remember

26:00 - about working there

26:01 - was one of those old guys came out of the room.

26:04 - He's sweeping he comes up to me goes.

26:07 - Heard you going to law school

26:09 - and I said yes sir

26:10 - he said

26:11 - you study hard

26:12 - you don't want to end up like me

26:14 - and I always remember that guy

26:16 - you know when I'm in the library

26:18 - it's two in the morning thought

26:19 - I had another hour

26:20 - I could do this

26:22 - and up so that that's how I

26:24 - grew up

26:25 - and now I'm at cano gates downtown for thirty years.

26:30 - I do energy infrastructure and construction law

26:33 - I practice over the world Asia south america every state.

26:38 - Europe.

26:39 - I also do a lot of bid protests which is challenging

26:42 - government

26:43 - procurement for bias and corruption.

26:45 - That

26:46 - that span of experience I've spent my whole life on

26:49 - is exactly what we need in Pennsylvania

26:52 - to turn us around.

26:55 - So we're ready to go

26:56 - and I went from aliquippa

26:59 - to now lieutenant governor candidate

27:01 - and I want you to know in November.

27:05 - You are going to have the clearest choice you have ever had in an election.

27:11 - On the one hand you're going to have Josh

27:14 - shapiro and his lieutenant governor candidate.

27:18 - Now we don't mentioned lieutenant governor candidate because no one knows who he is

27:22 - and he doesn't do anything so even though

27:24 - he's from Pittsburgh you don't know who he is

27:26 - so that's that's one person

27:29 - but Josh shapiro.

27:31 - This is what you need to know about him.

27:34 - He is a fraud.

27:36 - He is a charlatan

27:38 - he will say anything about any topic if he

27:41 - thinks it's in his best political interests.

27:44 - When he ran for governor last time he said he was for school choice

27:47 - legislature put it in the budget

27:49 - line item vetoed it out

27:51 - he lie what

27:52 - he said when he would be made governor he would get rid of Reggie which was

27:56 - carbon taxes

27:57 - tax on the carbon that go in the air

27:59 - never did it

28:00 - didn't do until a year ago as part of a budget

28:02 - impasse

28:03 - and he's still threatening carbon taxes

28:05 - why does that matter

28:06 - because he's been shutting down coal fired power

28:09 - plants he's been shutting down nuclear enter origi

28:12 - and the threat of carbon taxes has prevented

28:15 - other

28:16 - energy electricity making from coming into this state

28:19 - and I guarantee you

28:21 - every single person this room your energy bills went up

28:24 - and the reason it went up

28:26 - is this guy has completely

28:28 - and incompetently managed our economy

28:31 - and our energy resource

28:33 - it is totally his fault no matter what he says some agency or whatever.

28:37 - This man.

28:40 - Is bad for Pennsylvania

28:41 - he doesn't

28:43 - even want to be governor.

28:45 - Right

28:46 - he has a goal since he's four years old to run for president

28:50 - of the united states

28:52 - and when he was asked if he would complete his term.

28:56 - He said I won't commit to that.

28:59 - I

29:00 - Will not even commit he doesn't even want the job who would hire someone

29:04 - that doesn't even want the job that they're applying for.

29:08 - Right.

29:09 - So this man

29:10 - cares not about you.

29:13 - He does not care about one of you in the room.

29:16 - He's not about western Pennsylvania

29:18 - he's not about making our lives better

29:21 - he's about

29:22 - getting Josh.

29:24 - Elected president.

29:25 - Josh cares

29:27 - about Josh and he has accomplished nothing

29:30 - you can't tell me.

29:31 - One substantive

29:33 - legislative achievement he's had in three years

29:36 - you know why

29:37 - because he doesn't have any

29:38 - he hasn't

29:38 - done anything in three years

29:40 - I haven't watched unfortunately I get forced to watch his

29:43 - TikTok

29:44 - crap

29:44 - he has literally these he's so fake

29:47 - he tries to talk like Obama

29:49 - he wears lifts in his shoes to make himself a little taller because he's like this tall

29:52 - and he does these tick tock things

29:55 - that are totally scripted

29:56 - like

29:57 - Josh go over here and bounce a basketball three times and then go over

30:00 - there it looks so phony it's it's it's crazy but.

30:03 - He had a woman interview I'm on there and said

30:06 - what's your

30:07 - what's your best accomplishment as governor

30:09 - and he said oh fixing the I ninety five

30:12 - bridge on the road.

30:13 - Oh.

30:14 - That's good that we got that

30:15 - Philadelphia bridge

30:17 - fixed in a quick period of time but

30:19 - you've been governor of one of the most powerful states

30:22 - one of the most powerful places

30:24 - on planet earth

30:25 - and your accomplishment is a bridge.

30:29 - Wouldn't miss it.

30:30 - You've got to be kidding me.

30:32 - This guy is bad news and we gotta get rid of that one choice.

30:38 - The other choice state security

30:40 - Jason Richard

30:41 - yeah.

30:43 - Huh.

30:47 - Unlike

30:47 - superhero he will reelect.

30:51 - Every morning he'd wake up

30:53 - and he'd think about.

30:55 - South Carolina

30:56 - how can I get another vote

30:58 - in new Hampshire.

31:00 - I gotta get the Iowa.

31:01 - Right

31:02 - Stacy and I will wake up every day

31:05 - thinking about

31:06 - how do we make your lives better

31:08 - how do we improve Pennsylvania

31:11 - and while we will do on day one

31:13 - as we will unleash the incredible energy power that Pennsylvania has

31:18 - we have more natural gas than Saudi Arabia has oil

31:22 - if the united states at the run or Pennsylvania

31:24 - natural gas only it could do it for one hundred years.

31:28 - That's how much energy but we barely tap that because

31:31 - we've been stuck

31:32 - with twelve years of wolf shapiro incompetence is that technology has come around

31:36 - and we start drilling we start bringing in the natural gas fired power plants we

31:41 - build the infrastructure to connect them

31:43 - and most importantly

31:45 - we build the infrastructure to get the natural gas to Philadelphia

31:49 - where we have lng capacity which simply

31:52 - calls the natural gas we could put her on boats

31:55 - and send it around the world

31:57 - and we will become wealthy

31:59 - and we will make sure that our NATO allies as a dependent.

32:05 - On Pennsylvania natural gas not Russian.

32:08 - How

32:14 - are estimates show that will bring in

32:16 - five billion in new revenue to the commonwealth

32:20 - and a quarter of a million jobs

32:22 - many of which

32:23 - will be in western Pennsylvania

32:25 - and I project

32:26 - it will make

32:27 - Pittsburgh

32:28 - the energy capital of the united states of america.

32:32 - Hey

32:37 - with that five billion we will work

32:40 - to lower.

32:41 - Your property taxes which are

32:43 - onerous

32:44 - and hurt our seniors incredibly

32:47 - but on fixed income

32:49 - it's it's crazy and these democrats are about to raise your property taxes again

32:53 - did it thirty percent.

32:54 - Were going to bring your property taxes down

32:56 - we were going to bring income tax down to zero

33:00 - we know that yeah.

33:03 - Hey

33:05 - we know that states that do that like Tennessee Texas

33:08 - and Florida have all boom but all income tax is is a penalty

33:14 - on those who dare to go out and work for a living

33:18 - right

33:19 - we.

33:20 - Don't do that don't penalize people to work

33:22 - give them zero

33:24 - people bring their business zero

33:25 - the population declines that we suffer in allegheny county

33:29 - year after year after year

33:31 - will reverse.

33:33 - Secondly on day one.

33:35 - We will bring school choice to Pennsylvania.

33:39 - Hey

33:43 - right now the big beautiful bill.

33:46 - Gave all states

33:47 - a billion dollars.

33:49 - Available.

33:50 - For parents

33:51 - to utilize the qualify

33:54 - to get their kid to the type

33:55 - of school they need.

33:57 - Whether it's charter cyber prime but another public school

34:01 - home school.

34:02 - Every kid's different the parents should be able to choose.

34:07 - And

34:07 - all it involves is just.

34:09 - Saying we're in

34:11 - thirty seven states even new York.

34:13 - Opted in

34:15 - like even new York

34:16 - thirty seven states have opted in

34:19 - it's extra money like Joshua Pierce keeping money

34:21 - from education he's keeping money from your kids

34:23 - why would he do that.

34:26 - One reason he's owned

34:28 - by the teachers'

34:29 - union

34:30 - that doesn't want it

34:31 - and that's bad for his presidential run.

34:35 - Right

34:35 - he does again he does not care about the children

34:38 - he does not care that seven out of ten

34:40 - eighth graders are proficient reading the map he cares about Josh

34:44 - and we will supplement it with a Pennsylvania scholars

34:46 - Ben

34:47 - this is going to be critical when I was campaigning in Pittsburgh

34:51 - and I met this family and they said

34:53 - you know my daughter's really gifted but the

34:56 - school can't challenge her we can't get her we

34:58 - don't have the money to get her at school we need

35:00 - and my son

35:02 - has special needs to know how many programs for them either.

35:05 - Help

35:06 - and you think about

35:07 - the poor

35:08 - the poor kids who are born into a horrible situation

35:11 - the city of Philadelphia is constantly ranked in

35:13 - the top ten of the worst schools in the country

35:16 - and these kids off to have one parent they don't have social means

35:19 - and they don't get an education

35:21 - and they're stuck in an inevitable cycle of poverty

35:24 - that goes over and over and over again.

35:26 - This would empower the parents

35:28 - to get those kids out of that site

35:31 - and lift up

35:32 - and earn.

35:34 - So we have to bring school choice

35:36 - to Pennsylvania

35:38 - and finally we've got to cut the regulations we have one hundred

35:42 - and sixty thousand regulations in Pennsylvania

35:45 - third most of any state and it doesn't matter

35:48 - when I go to a pharmacy

35:50 - I go to cosmetology school

35:53 - I go to farmers

35:54 - they all tell me the same thing

35:55 - it's so hard to do business in the state

35:57 - there are so many agencies the report too

35:59 - there are so many requirements

36:01 - we are going to cut down the number of regulations and add a rule

36:04 - for every new one

36:05 - you've got to take one away.

36:07 - Right

36:08 - and we've got to get out and root out.

36:11 - The fraud and corruption is in our system

36:14 - and you know it's there because

36:15 - we were driving here

36:17 - I was looking at Josh shapiro his account he says

36:19 - we're always getting we've we've

36:22 - found

36:22 - ten million dollars in fraud and corruption

36:26 - we're always we're we're we're always at it we're going to get.

36:29 - Folks there's like three billion

36:31 - interruptions when he by his own admission he

36:34 - said it when he was attorney general but he said

36:36 - I can't really do anything about it as attorney general medicaid fraud because

36:40 - that's something for the governor

36:41 - now he's governor.

36:43 - He hasn't done anything

36:45 - right

36:46 - so we got lunch we do that.

36:48 - Unleash the energy

36:50 - we.

36:50 - Make school choice

36:52 - and make our government more efficient

36:54 - we will become one of the most powerful states

36:57 - in the united states.

36:59 - Now to do that.

37:01 - We need all of your help

37:02 - everyone in this room

37:04 - this

37:04 - November election

37:06 - will be the Superbowl a Pennsylvania election

37:09 - because both sides can take full control something that's

37:11 - really never happen

37:13 - in our lifetimes.

37:15 - But first is tomorrow

37:17 - and I've got a kook as my opponent

37:22 - and.

37:23 - This man

37:24 - just

37:24 - Google his name if you know what it is like

37:27 - there's a lot of bad

37:28 - bad

37:29 - bad stuff he is incompetent.

37:32 - I wouldn't even let him be in charge of a little league baseball team.

37:36 - And if he somehow were to upset me tomorrow.

37:40 - Stacy's done

37:41 - and we will lose the legislature we will slide to the left.

37:44 - Because we are going to have to explain.

37:46 - There goes those crazy Republicans again look at this

37:49 - goofball that they elected

37:51 - hey

37:52 - so we need you tomorrow.

37:54 - Hey this is the first hurdle we need you tomorrow

37:58 - to get me over the hump.

38:00 - Get out on social media tonight when you go home

38:03 - call your friends

38:04 - make sure people are voting it is important

38:07 - we cannot slip up

38:09 - because he has the top ballot position

38:11 - and if people don't know who I am and they don't

38:13 - know either of our names they pick the bar the one

38:16 - that's the threat

38:17 - I wouldn't even be talking to you about this right now if I was on top

38:20 - there was a random draw and I lost.

38:23 - So we've got to do it tomorrow we've gotta win

38:26 - tomorrow and I need you

38:28 - I look out at sea friends but this is important.

38:32 - Once we get past tomorrow.

38:35 - Don't listen to the naysayers adult think oh Josh shapiro

38:38 - first of all John shapiro has never been attacked

38:41 - he hasn't had a negative ad run on him in ten years

38:44 - there was no negative attack

38:45 - on him

38:46 - last time

38:47 - so.

38:47 - He is going to

38:49 - own his record.

38:51 - Earned the kind of person he is.

38:53 - Because it's common.

38:54 - It's common jaw

38:56 - day

38:57 - but

38:58 - do not forget

39:00 - do not forget

39:01 - who is the number one vote getter in Pennsylvania history.

39:07 - That's right

39:08 - it's not Donald trump.

39:10 - Sarah and Josh shapiro

39:12 - it Stacey garrity

39:13 - no one works harder it gets the vote out

39:17 - and if that's not enough for you do not forget.

39:23 - The last time we elected a republican governor sixteen years ago sixteen years ago.

39:33 - with that time when he won the registration difference

39:36 - with one million more democrats than Republicans.
