That's why I'll always fight for your freedom and your safety. And I'll veto any legislation that diminishes your humanity. I got your back. We're not done yet. Michiganers expect us to compete and win. Michigan is open for business. New factories making batteries, cars, ships are opening in Marshall, Lake Orion, Holland Bay City, Calumet, Hemlock, Ann Arbor and Delta Township. A new fighter mission is coming to Selfridge Air National Guard base in Macomb County. Probably not on the bingo card, but I want to thank President Trump for his work on this. (44:07–44:19)
