Vivek Ramaswamy full speech at Ohio campaign rally makes case against Amy Acton as governor

[0:04] This is the greatest country known to the history of mankind, [0:08] the United States of America, and we're going to fight for it. [0:11] We're going to defend it. [0:17] 250 years ago, our founding fathers, they fought a revolution. [0:21] They sacrificed their lives, their honor, their treasure, [0:24] so we could enjoy the blessings of freedom 250 years later. [0:29] The question for us is, what are you willing to do? [0:32] What are we willing to do to fight for it? [0:35] In six days, they made it real easy for us. [0:38] All you got to do is get out and vote, and we're counting on you to do it. [0:48] Let me tell you what President Trump has done to fight for this country. [0:55] You know, you remember the last time you turned on the news in the last couple of weeks [0:58] and they showed you millions of migrants and miscreants crossing the southern border? [1:03] I don't remember that either, because it hasn't happened since President Trump sealed the border, [1:07] yet two years ago that's what happened in this country. [1:09] It is common sense. [1:14] That is the fork in the road for the future of America and the future of Ohio. [1:21] It is on the ballot in six days. [1:24] It is a fork in the road between common sense and communism. [1:28] And if you think that that's not serious, let me give it to you straight. [1:31] Look at what's happening in Paris. [1:34] Paris is burning. [1:35] France is burning. [1:36] You may say, well, that's across the ocean. [1:38] What does that have to do with us? [1:39] Look at socialist New York City as of today. [1:43] Look at what's happening in Los Angeles. [1:45] Look at Minneapolis, Minnesota. [1:48] Tim Waltz's Minnesota. [1:50] Heck, look what's happening in Dearborn, Michigan, for God's sake. [1:55] We're not going to let that come to our state of Ohio. [1:58] We will defend this state. [2:00] We will defend our way of life. [2:02] We will defend our state and our people, the American people, until the very end. [2:09] And we will not apologize for who we are. [2:13] We're Americans. [2:15] I will fight to the end as your governor for it. [2:21] Now, I'm running against a woman who has already shown you who she is and what she's made of. [2:48] She was the health director under COVID where she shut down this state. [2:58] She shut down our economy. [3:01] She shut down our public schools, leading to the largest learning loss in the history of Ohio. [3:09] And then when the Republicans in charge in our legislature told her to get her act together, [3:17] you want to know what she did? [3:19] She quit on the state of Ohio. [3:22] I'll give it to you straight. [3:23] I will never quit on this state. [3:25] I will never quit on you. [3:26] I will fight for you to the very end. [3:28] You fight for your families. [3:32] I'm going to fight for you. [3:33] That is my job as your next governor. [3:37] This woman has never held. [3:43] It turns out when she quit that job, that's the longest job she's ever had. [3:47] She's 60 years old, never held a job for more than two years. [3:51] Now she wants a four-year job to lead the state. [3:54] We say absolutely not to Amy Acker. [3:57] Now I'll give you something the media has covered for. [4:02] This is a big deal. [4:03] It's come out even more recently. [4:04] The job that she did have before she became the failed COVID health director [4:11] was being the grants director at the Columbus Foundation, [4:15] where she was handing out six figures, $125,000, [4:19] to a foreign terrorist organization, CARE, [4:23] an Islamic terrorist organization. [4:25] We say no. [4:28] We don't do things that way in the state of Ohio. [4:31] My job as your next governor, just as President Trump puts Americans first, [4:38] my job is to put Ohioans first. [4:41] That is my job as your next governor, to fight for the 12 million people in this state [4:48] to have a better life. [4:52] You deserve a better life. [4:53] You live in the greatest country on earth. [4:55] It's your home, not the government, slash the property taxes, [4:59] which have gotten insanely high in the state of Ohio. [5:02] Put that money in your pocket where it belongs. [5:04] It is your home. [5:06] You should not pay rent to the government. [5:08] I'm going to fight for you. [5:11] I want to prosecute the Medicaid waste, fraud, and abuse by the billions [5:17] and put it in your pockets, in real Ohioans' pockets, where it belongs. [5:22] We're going to fight for you. [5:26] And just like President Trump sealed the border [5:28] so we don't see caravans of migrants and miscreants, [5:32] I'm going to, in this state, the day I take office, by executive order, [5:37] we will end sanctuary cities in the state of Ohio. [5:41] We're done with it. [5:44] We stand for the rule of law. [5:46] We're going to fight for you. [5:47] This is the greatest state at the heart of the greatest country [5:49] known to the history of mankind. [5:51] You guys, you get out and vote. [5:53] You do your part. [5:54] I'm going to do mine. [5:55] And we're going to celebrate on Tuesday night [5:57] when we win this election in a decisive victory. [6:01] Thank you, Ohio. [6:02] God bless you and your families. [6:04] God bless the United States of America.
