[cheers] mr. yang: the biggest crowd anyone has ever seen. [cheers] there are legitimately 7000 people here tonight. that is like 7 million californians and voting power. that is the power you all have to move our country forward and address a challenge, a problem we have been struggling with for the last several years. that problem, that challenges this. why is donald trump our president? [cheers] if you turn on cable news, you would think he was our president because of a combination of russia, racism, facebook, the fbi, the electoral college, on and on. but we know different. i'm a numbers guy, new hampshire. i was well educated here. the numbers tell a very clear and direct story as to why donald trump is our president today. because weident eliminated 4 million manufacturing jobs in this country in michigan, ohio, pennsylvania, wisconsin, missouri, iowa, and it happened here in new hampshire. you lost 12,000 manufacturing jobs in the northern part of the state. when you go to those towns after the mill closes, the shopping center of people left, the schools shrank. the town has never recovered. the same thing has happened in misery, ohio, pennsylvania, michigan. this is why donald trump is our president. this is what we must fight for. we made a mistake when we act like donald trump the source of all of our problems. he's not. he's a symptom of a disease that has been building up in our communities for years and decades. [cheers] is, how do wen cure the disease? if you know anything about my campaign, you heard that i'm saying, we should give every american $1000 a month from age 18 until the day they die. [cheers] mr. yang: i know it seems like an awfully dramatic policy. this is not my idea. it's not a new idea. , is for this at the founding of our country. martin luther king fought for it in the 60's. milton friedman endorsed it. it passed the u.s. house twice and 71. one state actually has a dividend where everyone in the state gets between $1000 and $2000 a year, no question asked. what state is that? how do they pay for it? what is the oil of the 21st century? technology, data, ai, self driving cars and trucks. a study just came out that said our data, your data is now worth more than oil. how many of you saw that study? how many of you got your data check in the mail last month? if you didn't get the data check, where did it go? apple, facebook, google, the trillion dollar tech companies that are paying next to nothing back into our country. this is what we must fight for, new hampshire. we have record high corporate profits in this country right now. what else are at record highs? suicide, drug overdose, substance abuse, stress, financial insecurity, student loan debt, medical bankruptcy, mental illness, depression. what are at record lows in the united states right now? child, married, having a starting a business for a young person. gdp andollowing corporate profits off a cliff, new hampshire. they are leading us the wrong direction. economicw off our measurements are. my wife is at home every day with our boys, one is autistic. how much is her work valued at in a market economy? a zero as does every's other stay-at-home parent in our country. how about caregivers taking care of ailing loved ones? also zero. how about volunteers and activists trying to make things better in our communities? how about coaches and mentors investigate our kids? how about most artists? and increasingly in new hampshire, it's a problem you should care deeply about. how about local journalists? to have a hard democracy function when people don't actually know what's going on in their communities. [cheers] these are the things we claim to value most in our lives, our children, our families, our community, our democracy. they are getting zeroed out one by one. that is what we must reverse. we have to let our fellow americans know that economic values and human values are not the same thing. that we each have intrinsic value as americans, as people, and as owners and shareholders of the richest country in the history of the world. [cheers] i amang: new hampshire, not running for president because i dreamt about being president. those were not the conversations in the yang household. my parents were not like, you will be president someday. they were more like, you are terrible, clean your room. [laughter] mr. yang: i'm running for president because i'm a parent and patriot. i have seen the future that lies ahead for our kids. it is not something i'm willing to accept for them. they deserve better and we must give them better, starting on tuesday. [cheers] new hampshire, donald trump is our president today because he had a very simple, compelling message for our country. he said he was going to make america great again. what did hillary clinton say in response? america is already great. your member that? that response did not work for many americans because the problems in our communities are all too real. we have to would knowledge their depth and severity and reality. we need real solutions to move our country forward. what were donald trump's solutions? build a wall, turn the clock back, bring the old jobs back. you know we have to do the opposite of these things. we have to turn the clock forward. we have to accelerate our realmy and arrive to the challenges of the 21st century by climate change. we have to evolve in the way we see ourselves and our work and our values. i am the ideal candidate for this job, new hampshire. the opposite of donald trump is an asian man who likes math. thank you all very much. let's make america think carter and move this country forward on tuesday. let's give our kids of future we will be proud to leave to them. thank you new hampshire, i love you.

[cheers] gov. patrick: you know it. i do. and small towns and rural communities, young people are moving away to make away. in more than a few suburbs, folks are using credit cards and food pantry just to make ends meet. young people all over are trapped, either by student debt or a criminal record. true that a president the vulnerable, who cages children, who wakes up every day trying to divide us makes it worse. but it was true before president trump that the poor were stuck in poverty and the middle class were just a paycheck or two away from being poor. people who arehe asking themselves today questions not just about the character of the candidate or the party, but about the character of our country. they are asking whether there is a place for them in america's future. and it is the same question asked for generations in the neighborhood i grew up in. on the southside of chicago in poverty, we were surrounded by broken sidewalks, broken schools, broken families. and yet, those people who had no toson to gave me a reason have faith in the american dream. , i had athat faith chance to go to college and law school to serve as a civil rights lawyer and civil rights leader, as a business executive and a business founder, and a two-term governor of massachusetts.

[cheers] gov. patrick: i see the people behind the policy, the voices i hear over the applause line. that's what we have to do. we have to see the people we serve or seek to serve. because we did, i'm proud of the fact that after eight years, the children of massachusetts rank as high as you can get in america in student achievement. 99% of the people of massachusetts have health care today. that the coal plants in massachusetts are closed, the energy is cleaner, and we reached the goals of the paris accord six years ago. [cheers] [cheers] gov. patrick: i'm proud of the fact that we came out of eight -- at a 25 year employment high. why? we see the people we serve. we hear their voices above the applause line. that's what we have to be about. reject falseto choices. i am a proud democrat. you have tothink hate republicans to be a good democrat.

[cheers] gov. patrick: and i explained my decision as coming from a place of both patriotism and faith. even so, on social media, i was called everything but a child of god. a couple of days after that decision was announced, i was running errands at the local home depot. i was confronted by a very angry man in the checkout line. he shouted at me. he said, governor, i think your decision was wrong. my own wife came here as a legal immigrant. that's the way you not to be. i just think you want to know i think you are wrong. i thanked him for his feedback. now i had six other encounters in that store that same day on the same subject. and in each of those, someone whispered, governor you are doing the right thing. governor, thanks for looking out for those kids. [cheers] gov. patrick: the calls to the three to one in favor of sheltering those children. it occurs to me that we have learned to shout our anger and to whisper our kindness and it is completely upside down.
