Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2018 Remarks at A Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2018 Remarks at a "Make America Great Again" Rally in Duluth, Minnesota June 20, 2018 Audience members. U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! The President. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much, Duluth. Thank you very much. I am thrilled to be back in the great State of Minnesota, with truly some of the most incredible people anywhere on Earth. You know that. And you know, I hate to bring this up— [laughter]—but we came this close to winning the State of Minnesota. And in 2½ years, it's going to be really easy, I think. [Applause] Really easy. It's been many, many decades since a Republican did that, and I thought I was going to do it. I needed one more visit, one more speech. That's why never give up. Never, ever give up. One more speech. No, we're very proud of Minnesota. Let me also say congratulations to the Bulldogs on winning the NCAA Championship hockey tournament. Wow, that's a big deal. Right in this arena. This is where they play, right? Boy, I hear they're a great team. And how many are going to the NHL? [Laughter] How many? Two? Three? That's a lot. They're going to do it. Great team. Thank you. Great team. The Bulldogs. So we're honored to be joined tonight by many wonderful Republican leaders, including our incredible House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy. Kevin, come up please. Where's Kevin? Where is he? Kevin. He sends a lot of money this way, I want to tell you. I also want to thank and maybe just ask him to come up—we have all night long, right? [Laughter] Do we have time? All night. We're not going anywhere. Some great people. Congressman Sean Duffy. Great champion. Come up, Sean. Come up. Great champion. You know, there—you know, the whole thing going up the trees and down the trees. Number one in the world for 4 or 5 years. Come here. With a great, great wife by the way. Very talented. [Laughter] Tom Emmer, Congressman, loves this State. And a very popular man in the State of Minnesota, Jason Lewis. I also want to thank Lieutenant Governor Michelle Fischbach for being here. She has been so great. Got a big race coming along. It's going to do great. Along with State Senator Karin Housley. Karin. Come on up here. Get them up here. Where are you? Stay there. It's too much of a deal. Good luck, Karin. Good luck, Michelle. Thank you. Also, a friend of mine and a man who's been incredible and a great supporter, Minnesota Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka. And Minnesota Republican Party Chair Jennifer Carnahan, who has been fantastic. Thank you. Thank you. And finally, the person we're all here to support tonight, somebody who's very special—by the way, loves ice hockey—[laughter]—real ice hockey family. In fact, his brother, you know, the coach of the winning women's team in the Olympics. Not bad. Great family. The next Congressman from Minnesota's Eighth Congressional District, the great Pete Stauber. Come on up. I'll tell you, is this a pretty good sendoff for Pete? This is not bad, right? Hey, Pete. Come here. Say a few words. He wasn't supposed to do this, but let's hear him. Right? [Laughter] Come on. Come on. 1 Republican congressional candidate Peter Stauber. Thank you, Mr. President. Welcome to the city of Duluth and the great State of Minnesota. And as you alluded to, the home of college hockey's National Champions, the University of Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs. I'm Pete Stauber, and I'm running in Minnesota's Eighth Congressional District because, like President Trump, I love this country. I love our freedoms. And I love our Constitution. Mr. President, before your election, you made a promise to visit Minnesota. And you promised more jobs, fewer regulations, and a better economy for everyone. Now, jobs are up, unemployment numbers are at a historic low, small businesses and manufacturers are surging, and optimism is at an alltime high. My blue-collar, commonsense conservative message is resonating throughout the 8th District. Mr. President, these people support you. And, Mr. President, these are the same people that are going to send me to Washington so together we can unleash the economic engine in Northern Minnesota. On behalf of the Minnesotans here today, thank you for coming to our great State and for always putting America—— Audience members. First! Mr. Stauber. ——for always putting America and the American worker first. Thank you. God bless America. Thank you very much. The President. So I didn't know he was going to do that, and then he takes out a speech and reads it. I said, "That's pretty good." [Laughter] He is a great guy, and he loves you, and he loves this country. And he's going to do fantastically. He's going to win. We're going to keep on winning. Remember, I used to say in a little jest, but I really meant it, "We're going to win so much." Remember? We're going to win, win, win. It's what we're doing. Remember? I said, your Governor or your Senator or Pete or somebody, they're going to come into Washington say: "Mr. President, please, we're winning too much. The people of Minnesota cannot stand winning so much. Please, can we take it easy?" And I said, "No, we're going to keep winning, winning, winning." So we've created 3.4 million new jobs since election day—3.4. And I've said before, if I would have said that to you during the campaign, those very dishonest people back there, the fake news—— Audience members. Boo! The President. Very dishonest. They would have said, "He's exaggerating." Audience members. CNN sucks! CNN sucks! CNN sucks! The President. These are very dishonest people. Many of them. And we have some people, too, doing that. But there's a lot of very dishonest people. For instance, I just got back, as you know, from Singapore, where I met Kim Jong Un. And we had a great meeting, great chemistry. We got along really well, which is very important. They didn't want us too. But they—you know, it's like nice to do that. And very interestingly, at first everybody was amazed—amazed that we had the meeting. They couldn't believe it the first 24 hours. They said, "I can't believe it." You remember that, a while ago? They said, "They're going to meet." Then, about a day later, they said: "What's the big deal with the meeting? What's the big deal?" In other words, their bosses said, "You can't say that." 2 But the beauty was this: So we had a meeting. It was an incredible success. And they said: "The President gave away so much. He met with them." I said, "What else?" That was—I met. What am I supposed to do? I have to meet. Right? "He met." Now, sentence one says, a total denuclearization of North Korea. That's what it says. We got back our hostages. And I didn't pay $1.8 billion to get back our hostages. Paid—— [At this point, the President indicated a "zero" with his hand.] We got back our great fallen heroes, the remains. In fact, today already 200 have been sent back. They stopped shooting missiles over Japan. They stopped all nuclear testing. They stopped nuclear research. They stopped rocketry. They stopped everything that you'd want them to stop. And they blew up sites where they test and do the testing. And it was a great meeting. And Kim Jong Un will turn down—and I will tell—he will turn—Chairman Kim will turn that country into a great, successful country. And let me tell you, and let me tell you—let me tell you this: A year and a half ago, nobody thought that was possible. In fact, before I was elected, everybody assumed we were going to war. It would be a vicious war. In Seoul, you have 28 million people living 30 miles off the border. They don't even need nuclear weapons for that. They have thousands of cannons aiming right on top of Seoul. You could have lost millions and millions of people. But I got along with Kim Jong Un. I got along. And that's a good thing, not a bad thing. And these people—you remember, I said, I can't believe it—"He's given away so much." You know what I gave away? A meeting. [Laughter] That was a meeting. And the fact that we do get along means we're safe. I'm not saying things can't happen. Things go wrong. Mistakes are made. Relationships get broken. But right now you are so safe, and such a great event took place. And all over Asia, they're celebrating the great achievement that we made because you were the ones that put me here. We made—that we made—all over Asia. And really all over the world. And by the way, in our country. Everybody knows what a great achievement this is not only for us, but for North Korea, for South Korea, for Japan, for China, for everybody. And I have to say, you know, you've been reading where I've been putting very large tariffs on China.

Your partnership has helped hospitals, health systems and health care providers continue to meet the needs of their patients and communities. Hospitals and health systems in Minnesota and across the U.S. received just over $100 billion in Medicare accelerated and advanced payment loans during 2020 to help fight COVID-19 (section 3719 of the CARES Act). Also last year, Congress extended the repayment terms of the expanded accelerated and advanced payment policy for Medicare providers, which was a tremendous help to providers.

  • Ten Years Ago, Chair Tony Sutton Resigned Because Under His Leadership, the Republican Party of Minnesota Was Financially Bankrupt
    Ten years ago, Chair Tony Sutton resigned because under his leadership, the Republican Party of Minnesota was financially bankrupt. Today, the Party is morally bankrupt due to the leadership of Chair Jennifer Carnahan. This week, thanks to the courageous efforts of a few of the MN GOP State Executive Committee members, the NDAs that have silenced the four of us and many others have been lifted. Since it appears that may change again in just over 24 hours, we felt it was important to take this opportunity – together – to make our voices heard before we are silenced again. As the four most recent MN GOP Executive Directors under Carnahan, we have a unique perspective into the toxic environment, inappropriate behavior and manipulation that she has facilitated. While we did not have knowledge of many of the saddening stories of sexual assault or harassment, unfortunately, we can corroborate and back up many of the other stories that have been shared to date. While Carnahan points to her re-election percentage as to why she should remain, we would argue that race may have had a different outcome if those of us under NDAs – some with non-disparagement clauses – were able to share our stories. And now, due to the blatant lies being pushed by Carnahan, HR Director Ron Huettl, other members of the Executive Committee, and members of the Personnel Committee we believe that it is our duty to do just that. To share our stories while we still can. Carnahan ruled by grudges, retaliation, and intimidation. She delayed sharing lists from candidates for a variety of party offices so “her chosen person” could have a leg up.

  • April 26, 2021 the Honorable Rosa Delauro Chairwoman U.S. House
    April 26, 2021 The Honorable Rosa DeLauro The Honorable Tom Cole Chairwoman Ranking Member U.S. House Subcommittee on Labor, Health U.S. House Appropriations Subcommittee and Human Services, Education and Related on Labor, Health and Human Services, Agencies Education and Related Agencies 2358-B Rayburn House Office Building 1016 Longworth House Office Building Washington, DC Washington, DC 20515 Chairwoman DeLauro and Ranking Member Cole, As you develop the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations bill, we are writing to respectfully request that you provide robust funding for the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG). Recognizing the need to direct taxpayer resources to programs that can demonstrate a return on federal investments, quality child care - which has a strong evidence base - plays a crucial role in supporting children's healthy development, learning, and school readiness, while also enabling parents to work, train, or pursue an education. In this way, CCDBG not only improves future opportunities for children, but also invests in parents by supporting their ability to work and be successful. Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, families at every income level struggled to find and afford high-quality care, and less than twenty percent of eligible children received support through the CCDBG subsidy program. These challenges have only been exacerbated over the last year, and now, more than ever, access to affordable high-quality child care remains a barrier for many parents who wish to enter and remain in the workforce. Given the importance of this program to working families across the country and the fundamental role of child care in our economic recovery, there is a critical need for robust CCDBG funding.
