The rally in Janesville, Wis., was televised.

Here are some highlights:

The theme of the rally at Southern Wisconsin Regional Airport was "Supporting Law Enforcement." Across the back of the bleachers, Thin Blue Line flags were interspersed with U.S. flags.

On the crowd:
"It's great to be back in Wisconsin with thousands of loyal, hardworking patriots."

On his supporters:
"We've got the most energy in the history of politics and he's got the least."

On the economy:
He said Wisconsin needs a Republican governor.
"You've got to open it up."

On law and order:
"The most menacing aspect of the Biden-Harris agenda is their attack on law and order."
"They will kill your jobs, dismantle your police department — and you have great law enforcement with us."
He said Joe Biden didn't know what to say at the debate when he challenged Biden to name an endorsement from a law enforcement group.
"Then Chris Wallace bailed him out."
He said Joe Biden also wouldn't say the words "law and order."
"If he says law and order, then he loses the radical left."

On protest violence:
"The lawless demonstrators — and they are all Democrat run cities and states. They are. Every one of them. They don't want to take care of law enforcement."
"We saved Minneapolis. We saved Seattle," he said. "We're really saving the whole country if you think about it."
"Biden will appease the rioters and looters and anarchist."
He credited Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers with calling in federal law enforcement to help quell the violence in Kenosha.
"If I didn't get involved there wouldn't be a Kenosha."

On the impacts on African Americans:
"No one is hurt more by the left-wing crusade against law enforcement is African Americans."
He said murder increased this year in cities by more than 30%"We have done more for the black community than any president since Abraham Lincoln. It's true."
"Criminal justice reform. I did it. Prison reform. We did it."

On gun rights:"They want to take away your Second Amendment."

On pandemic:
"We're rounding the corner. You'll see it. The vaccines are incredible."
"We have great therapeutics. I'm here."
"I wasn't feeling good. I wasn't feeling like your president is supposed to feel. I wasn't feeling like Superman."
