Thank you, thank you, thank you. It is great to be here. There is a reason why hv you posit are doing really well. They will do even at her. I tell you what stop what. You are making your family proud, maam. The speakersnk ahead of me. Soon to be commissioner, jessica holmes, i know you are here somewhere. Iste representative louis here. [honking] and a great coach. My granddaughter is with me today and went to a school coach lawson went to for little while in washington. She is recruiting some of the Girls Basketball team for my granddaughter went to school. A video you were were you made a competing inetween the heart of winning. Hardalked about working and competing. Everyone works hard but you said working hard is essential but competing is even more consequential. Did you compete with everything you had . Competing because you know what is at stake in what is at the winning. Ning my good friends who represent the first and fourth distant district with decency and honor both,ll you we are doing working hard and competing like we never did before because so much is at stake for this nation. The very soul of the nation is at stake. As my cook as my folks used to say in college, it is go time. The most important election in our lifetime. The choice is as clear as it has ever been and stakes have never been higher. The stakes in this election remind me of something my dad ind to say when we lost scranton, pennsylvania, when i was a kid. He owes used to say a job is a lot about a lot more than a paycheck. Respect,ut dignity, and your place in the community. He said, and this is the gods truth, it is about being able to look at your kid in the eye and say honey, it will be ok. That is a lesson i have never forgotten. I grew up around a lot of hardworking folks. How many people today think they could look there kid in the eye right now and say, it will be ok, and mean it . So many people are hurt. Over half of people in america say they have a bill for 400 they did not expect in one month and they would not be able to pay it. They either borrow money or sell something. Unemployment is way up. 1,000,200 thousand people file for unemployment just this week. Folks are worried about making the next mortgage payment, whether health care would be ripped away in the middle of the sending, worrying about their kids to school or not. Doingee folks at the top better than ever while left to wonder, who is looking out for me . That is down froms presidency. Deadthan 217,000 americans because of covid19. Nearly 4000 in the state of North Carolina. On friday, we saw the highs number of new cases in one day since july stop in the last two july. The worst day since yes, the other night yet, the other night, trump set at one of turned the we have quarter corner. My grandfather would say, this guy is around the bend if he thinks that. Things are getting worse. He continues to lie to us about the circumstances. Experts say we are lucky to lose as many as 200,000 additional end ofetween now and the the year all because this president cares more about his park avenue perspective around the world, the stock market, then he does about you. He refuses to follow the science. Estimated between the end of the year now in the end of the year, 100,000 lives. His own head of the cdc said that. The president knew how dangerous the virus was all the way back in january. He hit it from the country. E is on record he told bob woodward in a taped interview that the disease was deadly and much worse than the flu and heres what he did. According to the new york times, i gaver four days ago, wall Street Investors a heads up but he did not tell us. Muchis why they made so money by selling short. You all got sold short. You know what is coming . What happened to the rest of us tried to claim with woodward that he did not want to panic the American People. The American People do not panic. Trump panics. [honking] no selfish behaviors surprise. This is the same man who looks at americans who put their lives on the line for the nation, like so many tens of thousands in North Carolina have done, like my son did winning a bronze star. He calls them suckers and losers. Think he is does he talking about . These are heroes. These are the people sacrificing. They are the backbone of the country. The consequence of all of irresponsible action, how many chairs were emptied at the table last night because of this negligence . We are so much better than this. Despite the crisis we face, we have an enormous opportunity. We could build back better. We just have to stand up and take it back. Look. Build the economy and an equal chance to get ahead. In northes of color carolina and across the country, the question is, in the good times come you lag behind. The answer is about justice. Criminal justice and police reform. Tos nation is Strong Enough be honest that we face systemic racism for the families and Small Businesses that too often bear the brunt of looting and burning. We have no need roaming the americans americas streets. This is the United States of america and we should have no tolerance for an extremist White Supremacist Group marching in our communities. No nou say we have need to face Racial Injustice in this country, you have not hope open your eyes to the truth. There have been powerful voices for justice in recent months. George floyds sixyearold daughter, i knelt down to say hi to her and she looked at me and said, mr. Vice president , daddy changed the world. Jacob blakes mother says violence does not reflect her son and the nation needs healing and she said she prays for police officers. Coach,ers, a basketball choking back tears when he said we are the ones getting killed. We are the ones getting shot. We have been hung. It is amazing why we keep loving this country in this country does not love us back. Think about that, what it takes to be a black person, to love the country today as he does, a deep love for the country. We need leadership to deescalate tensions, open lines of communication, and bring us hope. Er, to heal and to as president , that is precisely what i will do. True justice is also about good paying jobs, financial stability. Here a century ago that an oasis of blackowned businesses thrived. Even in the era of jim crow. Was one of thees first examples of flourishing black middleclass americans. A playset offered the at ag families a real shot home, send a child to college debtfree so they could build wealth and pass opportunity down. Every other middleclass group in america. That is how we deliver equality and equity. Another example, more women are dropping out of the workforce in this recession, whether in cities or suburbs. I have a plan to deal with this pandemic responsibly, testing, planning for ag, safe and equitable distribution, providing funding for ppe and other resources, for schools to reopen safely. So many families are experiencing, squeezed between raising her kids and caring for an aging loved one. Protecting your health care. In the middle of this pandemic, why the republicans have the time to hold a hearing on the Supreme Court instead of addressing the Economic Needs of local communities. Will tell you why, for real. I will tell you why. It is about wiping obamacare off the books, that is what it is about. Their nominee has set in the past, the law should be struck down. If they get their way, 100 million americans will lose their protections for preexisting conditions. , 7plications of covid19 Million People infected, will become the next preexisting condition, allowing insurers to jack up your premiums or denied your coverage. Women will be charged more for their health just because they are women. Folks, we can do so much better. I will build on the Affordable Care act so you can keep your private insurance, you can choose the medicarelike option. To lower your premiums and deductibles and outofpocket spending. Your governor has been working hard to expand medicaid, but it is being blocked by republican legislature. 357,000will involve uninsured with carolinians in a public option for free automatically. It is going to make a lifechanging difference for so many families. We can only do any of this if we come together as a country. A need to revive the spirit bipartisanship, especially being able to work with one another. I said that from the moment i told, maybe wes used to be able to do that, that was your reputation in the senate, but things have changed, they dont work that way anymore. Im here to tell you they can and they will and they must if we are going to get anything done in america. , im running as a proud democrat, but i will govern as an american president. States, no blue states, just the United States. I will work as hard for those who dont support me as those who did, that is the job of a president , a duty to care for everyone in america. Have a sacred too duty, to vote, and it matters. North carolina matters. Senator harris and i are asking you for your trust and support. We will always have your back, so please vote and help get out the vote. Com nc. Willvote. Early voting started on thursday. We have to keep the momentum going. We cant let up. You can vote early in person until the 31st, but dont wait. Go vote today and dont just vote for me and senator harris, you have a governors race, senate race, a Record Number of black women on the ballot, labor commissioners, the courts. Folks, they are ready to deliver for North Carolina families, so vote. It is time. When i announce my candidacy, i had not planned on running again and i have said it before, my son had just died and i had no interest. Then i saw those folks come out of the fields in charlottesville carrying torches. Close your eyes and remember what it looked like, their veins bulging, shouting antisemitic bile, the same pile that was shouted in the streets of germany in the 1930s, carrying nazi flags, accompanied by the ku klux klan and a young woman was killed who was protesting the opposite direction. For comment, this president said something no other president has ever said. , there are very fine people on both sides. Very fine people. I mean it when i say this. It is time to restore americas soul. It is time to rebuild the backbone of america, the middle class, and bring everybody along, no matter your race, age, religion, gender, ethnicity, or disability. We can do this. The blinders have been taken off, they have seen what happened. It is time to unite america. Whatl never forget president kennedy said when i was a kid when we were going to the moon. Every kid in school hurt his speech. In that speech, my Senate Colleagues in the white house heard me use all the time, that made the most impression on me. He asked, why are we doing this . Said,sponse was, he because we refuse to postpone. This is america. We refuse to postpone americas work that must be done. There is nothing beyond our capacity. Nevere never, never, mailed here and there is no it on our future here in never failed. There is no limit on our future. Everyone knows who donald trump is, so let him do who we are. We choose unity over division, science over fiction. And yes, we choose truth overlies. Folks, it is time to stand up and take back our democracy. No more time god bless you all and may god protect our troops. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
