"I am thrilled to be back in the great state of Wisconsin with the extraordinary men and women of Derco. We are here today to celebrate the triumphant return of American manufacturing, and everything we are doing to keep the assembly lines rolling."

Lola, you simply DON'T use "auger in" when writing about aviation. Either you are being cute there are you are not qualified to write about aviation. No matter what, that is a terrible descriptor. Maybe you meant to write "inaugurate."
She likely meant “augur” instead of “auger”. Even there, it wouldn’t be the correct use of the word. She doesn’t understand that in good writing, simplicity in wording is clarity.
