VP Travel Note #7 - remarks and en route to airport

Vance gave remarks. They lasted around 20 minutes

Pool is en route to airport. Departed Hatch at 2:16.

Notes from the remarks:

Loud “JD” chants when he walked in.

Someone in the crowd yelled out “O-H” and Vance did not take the bait because he’s in Michigan.

“I’m not gonna do that here.” Vance says.

Vance on drug cartel boat strikes: “I'm proud to have a president who is sending our military to light up the cartels that threaten our people in our own backyard.”

Vance on Rep. Barrett:

“First of all, you guys are lucky to have a great congressman who fights for working people in the state of Michigan.”

“We talk about no taxes on overtime, which we are proud to deliver, no taxes on tips, which we are proud to deliver, the lowest taxes that we've had in this country in a very long time, because Tom Barrett went to Washington and fought for the people of this district,”

Vance on Charlie Kirk:

“He felt that the most important American political virtue was to just get out there and talk to our fellow Americans. And I hate to say that a week ago, he was doing what he did best. He was doing what he loved, and an assassin gunned him down for daring to say things that that assassin thought were wrong or shouldn’t be said.”

“I'll never forget, Charlie, that I would not be here if not for you. He was a good guy. He was a good friend. I mean, all of these people who’ve been involved in TPUSA, it wasn't just a debate society. It wasn't just a political organization. It gave these kids a sense of hope and a sense of purpose in often very hostile places. If you were a young conservative, or you were a young Christian and you were worried that a professor might give you a bad grade for being who you were, Charlie's Turning Point USA gave you a home.”
