Ladies and gentlemen, please Welcome Community leader Deandre Young. Good afternoon, everyone. Good afternoon. Thanks for having me and for joining todays car rally. My name is Deandre Young and i was born and raised here in the city of flint, michigan and have been active in the community my entire life, organizing and engaging people to fight for environment of justice and the fight for clean, affordable water and sustainable infrastructure. I grew up union strong, with my family members working at the general motors, proud members of the uaw. My mother was a Union Representative and liaison for Flint Community schools. My family and my community motivates me to stay committed to the fight for equity, which starts at the Grassroots Level. I always tell people that fighting for change at the Grassroots Level is more than just your typical 9 005 00 job. It is your whole life. Right now, we desperately need a president who recognizes that. This pandemic has shined a light on the inequities that define our system. In this president has used his highestd this Nations Office to stoke the flames of hate and division. I dont need to tell you all that enough is simply enough. This simply will not work for us. [car horns] ladies and gentlemen, we are just three days away from a day we will never forget. This is no doubt the most important election of our lives. And when november 4 rolls around, we need to know that we left it all on the table, that we did everything we could to elect the leaders we know we deserve. We are at a crossroads right now and meeting this moment means exercising your right to vote. It means telling your friends and family to vote. For those of you who have yet to vote, you can go to iwillvote. Com. Again, that is iwillvote. Com to make your plan today. If you care about health care and the water you drink, you need to vote for joe biden. The stakes are too high to sit this one out. Joe biden knows that change starts at the Grassroots Level. He knows that the best laws and policies demand a patient, attentive ear to the ground. He will listen. He cares about us. He helped save the auto industry, which made a huge difference for thousands in flint and he will be more than a 9 005 00 president because he knows that is what it takes to right the ship. Here in flint, we are no strangers to what it means to suffer a Public Health crisis. As our country and the world feels the weight of the covid19 pandemic, we are all looking for hope and leadership to move us forward. I remember a time where we saw that same unique brand of hope when we were going in the wrong direction. We used our own power, made history, and elected the first black president of the United States. [car horns] i am so honored to introduce the man and president who embodies that hope, who forged a bright path forward, but one little housekeeping item before i welcome him to the stage. We are asking that you please refrain from honking your horns during president obama and Vice President bidens remarks. Flint, please join me in welcoming to the stage the 44th president of the United States of america, barack obama. Mr. Obama hello, flint. It is good to be back in michigan. It is good to be back in the midwest, getting a little closer to chicago from here. How is everybody doing . [cheers and applause] can everybody give a round of applause to Deandre Young . Fantastic young man. Thank you for the introduction. Happy halloween, everybody. I love your masks. [laughs] please give a big round of applause as well to governor gretchen whitmer. Your own. Lieutenant governor garland gilchrist. My buddy from the senate, debbie stabenow. A man who is always in there fighting for you, who we need to send back to the United States senate, gary peters. Your congressman, born and raised great here in flint, michigan, dan kildee. Mayor sheldon neely. And the big treat to come, the next president of the United States, joe biden. Three days, flint. Three days until the most important election of our lifetimes. I love you too. Listen, i know right now, you have got the michiganmichigan state game, and that is a big deal. The paul bunyan trophy is on the line, but this tuesday, everything is on the line. Our jobs are on the line, our health care is on the line, whether or not we get this pandemic under control is on the line. But heres the good news. On tuesday, you can choose change. On tuesday, you can elect joe biden and kamala harris. You can choose a better america and what is even better news is you dont have to wait until tuesday to cast your ballot, michigan. You can vote in person right now. Just go to iwillvote. Com, find your polling place, get out there and vote. If somebody like you already voted, go help your friends and family make a plan to vote. Because we need everybody. Not just some people. We have got to get everybody out there. I love you too. Ok, thats it. Put that mask back on. Listen, michigan, joe biden is my brother. I love that i love joe biden and he will be a great president. Now, i will admit, 12 years ago, when i asked him to be the nominee for Vice President with me when i was running, i did not know joe that well. We had served together in the senate, but he and i came from different places, part of different generations, but i quickly came to admire joe as a man who learned early on to treat everybody he meets with dignity and with respect, living by the words his mom taught him no one is better than you, joe, but you are no better than anybody else. And that sense of decency and empathy, the belief in hard work, family, faith, the belief that everybody counts, that is who joe is. And that is who he will be as president. I can tell you that the presidency doesnt change who you are. It shows who you are. It reveals who you are. And for eight years, joe was the last one in the room whenever i faced a big decision, and he made me a better president. Hes got the character and the experience to make us a better country and he and kamala are going to be in the fight not for themselves, but for everyone of us. And we sure cant say that about the president we have right now. You know, ive said this before. I never thought donald trump would embrace my vision. I understood he didnt agree with my policies, but i did hope for the countrys sake he would show some interest in the job. He might take the job seriously. He never has. He hasnt shown any interest in doing the work or helping anybody but himself and his friends or treating the presidency as anything more than a reality show to give him the attention that he craves. But unfortunately, the rest of us have to live with the consequences. Almost 230,000 americans are dead. More than 100,000 Small Businesses have closed. Almost 300,000 jobs are gone in michigan alone. America just had its single ew covid cases. And what is his Closing Argument . Here we are, the worst week, this week. I mean, we have been going through this now for months. His Closing Argument this week is that the press and people are too focused on covid. Covid, covid, covid he is complaining. He is jealous of covids media coverage. And now, he is accusing doctors of profiting off this pandemic. Think about that. He said this just yesterday. He said doctors are over blowing it because they are going to make money off of it. Doctors. He cannot fathom he does not understand the notion that somebody would risk their life to save others without trying to make a buck. His chief of staff says we are not going to control the pandemic. That is a quote. Said it last week. We are not going to control the pandemic. We noticed, mr. Chief of staff. We understand you are not going to control the pandemic, but do you know who will . Joe biden will, when we elect him president of the United States. Do you remember when republicans were saying let detroit go bankrupt . Remember that . Now, they might as well be saying let america get covid, because that is how they are acting. If trump were focused on covid from the beginning, cases would not be reaching new record highs across the country. Some of the places he holds rallies have seen new spikes after he leaves town. There was just a study by Stanford University that just came out showing thousands of people are likely to have gotten sick because of these rallies he is holding. What is his obsession, by the way, with crowd size . Have you noticed this . He is always worried this is the one measure he has of success. He is still worrying about his inauguration crowd being smaller than mine. It really bugs him. He is still talking about that. Does he have Nothing Better to worry about . Did no one come to his Birthday Party when he was a kid . Was he traumatized . Whats with crowds . I have had crowds before, you know. I have had quite a few, but when a country is going through a pandemic, that is not what you are supposed to be worrying about. And that is the difference between joe biden and trump right there. Trump cares about feeding his ego. Joe cares about keeping you and your family safe. And he is less interested in big crowds than making sure he is not going around making more people sick. That is what you should expect from a president. You can expect Something Different from a reality tv star, but from a president , you want them to put you above their own ego. Heres the truth, michigan. This pandemic would have been challenging for any president , but this idea that somehow this white house has done anything but completely screw this up is nonsense. Canada identified its first case the same week that the u. S. Did, just a few miles up. Right . It is not close. I might not be pointing north, but canada is pretty close by. Our mortality rate in the United States is two and a half times higher than canada. Think about that. If we had the same percentage of folks dying in canada as we do here, nearly 90,000 americans would have died instead of 230,000 americans. If we had handled this pandemic like canada did, 140,000 of our fellow americans might still be alive today. Think about that. Think about that. And yet, despite that, last week, when trump was asked if he would do anything different, he said not much. Really . Not much . Cant think of anything. Listen, i understand the president was anxious to downplay it because he wanted to get credit for the economy he inherited and zero blame for the pandemic he ignored, but it does not work that way. The job doesnt work that way. Tweeting things at the tv doesnt change things. Making stuff up does not make peoples lives better. You have got to have a plan. You have got to put in the work. And, along with the experience to get things done, joe biden has concrete plans and policies that will turn our vision of a better, fairer, stronger country into reality. Joe is not going to screw up testing. Joe is not going to call scientists idiots. Hes not going to host super spreader event around the country. What joe will do is get this pandemic under control with a plan to make testing free and widely available, to get a vaccine to every american cost free, and make sure our frontline heroes never have to ask other countries for the equipment that they need. That is what joe biden will do. Joes plan will guarantee paid sick leave for workers and parents affected by the pandemic. Hell make sure that Small Businesses in every community, not just some, not just big corporations, but Small Businesses that hold our communities together and employee millions of americans can reopen safely. Donald trump likes to claim he built this economy. America created 1. 5 million more jobs in the last three years of the Obamabiden Administration than in his first three years and that was before he could blame the pandemic. Joe biden and i, with the help of a democratic congress, rescued the auto industry. Gary peters was there. He told us to bet on michigan and we did. And manufacturing in michigan grew by 15 over our last four years. Trump promised he would make michigan the manufacturing hub of the world again. It is up 1 under his first four years. 15 under obamabiden, 1 under him. That is michigan. Right here. We handed him the longest streak of job growth in american history, but the economic damage he inflicted by botching the Pandemic Response means that he will be the only president since Herbert Hoover to actually lose jobs. Herbert hoover. That is a long time ago. Joe biden and gary peters know that the key to a Strong Economy isnt cutting more taxes for billionaires. It is lifting the prospects for working americans. And joe has got a plan to create one million new auto related jobs by accelerating electric vehicle production. Hes got a plan to create 10 million Good Clean Energy Jobs and fight Climate Change and secure environmental justice. Something that is relevant to flint, michigan. You know something about that. He will pay for his plans by rolling back trumps tax cuts for billionaires. And this is important. Joe sees this moment not to get back to where we were, but to build on the progress we made together and finally make longoverdue changes so that our economy actually makes life a little easier for everybody, for the waitress trying to raise a kid on her own, for the student figuring out how to pay for next semesters classes, or the shift worker always on the edge of getting laid off, or the cancer survivor who is worried that her preexisting condition protections will be taken away. Lets talk about health care for a second. Lets talk about health care for a second. Republicans love to say right before an election that they will protect your preexisting conditions. That is what they say. Well, do you know what . Joe and i actually protected them 10 years ago with the Affordable Care act. [car horns] and since we did so, with no help from republicans, no votes from republicans, republicans have tried to repeal or undermine the aca more than 60 times. 60 times they have tried to take Peoples Health care away. When asked, why are you doing that . Why are you being so mean . You dont think these people should have health care . No, no, we have a plan. It is going to be beautiful. It is going to be terrific. Except it has been 10 years and they still do not have a plan. They are trying to bamboozle you. Instead of actually coming up with a plan, they have attacked the aca at every turn. They have driven up costs, theyve driven up the number of uninsured. Now, they are trying to get the Supreme Court to take your Health Care Away in the middle of a pandemic. In the midst, right at a time when people need health care. They signed on to a case right now in the Supreme Court where they are trying to take insurance away from those who need it, with nothing but empty promises to take its place. And now, Mitch Mcconnell is pouring millions of dollars in super pac dollars into michigan to try to beat gary peters, because that is part of their agenda. Michigan, here is the truth. Joe and kamala and gary will protect your health care, they will expand medicare, they will make insurance more affordable for everybody, and the reason you know that is true is because they were there when we did it the first time. And here is another thing. With joe and kamala at the helm, this is a big benefit. Michelle and i were talking about this over dinner the other day. You are not going to have to think about them every day. You are not going to have to argue with your family about them every day. It wont be so exhausting. You will be able to get on with your life knowing that the president is not going to suggest we inject bleach as a possible cure of covid. You wont have to find out you will not wake up in the morning, open your phone, oh, newsflash. The president retweeted a Conspiracy Theory that the navy seals did not actually kill bin laden. You will not have a president that will go out of his way to insult people that do not support him. This is not normal behavior. We would not tolerate it from a teacher, a coach, a coworker or a family member. If a neighbor was acting like this, you would stay away from that neighbor. Why would we accept it from the president of the United States . And you know what, there are consequences to this action. There are consequences to his actions. It is not just a joke. It is not funny. Those actions embolden other people to be mean and divisive and racist. It affects the fabric of all of our lives and how our children see the world and how they treat each other. It affects how our family gets along, how the world sees america. That is why joe talks about the soul of america. That is why he talks about decency and kindness and responsibility and hard work. That more than anything is what separates joe biden from his opponent. He actually cares about every american. He does not have a meanspirited bone in his body. I have seen him spend time with people, strangers, that he does not know when he hears about their hardship. He talks about what he has gone through. When he sees a kid, his eyes light up because he thinks about his own kids and grandkids. Joe biden tries to live the values we cherish honesty, hard work, kindness, humility, responsibility, helping somebody else out. That used to be the definition of manliness, not strutting and showing off, acting important, bullying people. It used to be being a man meant taking care of other people, not going around bragging, but doing the work. Not looking for credit. Trying to live right, passing on those values to your kids, looking out for a community, carrying your weight, giving up a little bit of what you might have to help somebody who has a real need. When you elect joe, that is what you will see reflected from the white house. And those shouldnt be republican or democratic values. They didnt used to be. They are what we grow up learning from our parents and our grandparents, and they are the values we still try to teach our kids. And they are not white or black or hispanic or asian or native american values, they are american values, and we have got to reclaim them right now, but to reclaim them, we will have to turn out like never before. If we are going to reclaim those values, we need to leave no doubt. We cannot afford to be complacent. Not this time. Not in this election. We got a little complacent the last election. And listen, i understand why americans get frustrated and sometimes think the government is not going to make a difference, voting is not going to make a difference. I understand that. The government is not perfect, the people in government are not perfect, even when it is working. The government is not going to solve every problem, but we can make things better. A president cannot by himself solve every challenge facing the economy here in flint or michigan, but if we elect people like gary peters and dan kildee and we get a house and a senate joined with the white house that are more focused on working people and getting you the help that you need, they will make a difference. And some folks will get jobs that wouldnt otherwise have jobs, and folks will have health care that wouldnt otherwise have health care. A president by himself cannot eliminate all racial bias in our criminal justice system, but if we elect district attorneys and states attorneys, and sheriffs focused on equality and justice and we once again have a Justice Department and Civil Rights Division in the Justice Department that cares about these issues, we can make things better. And that is what voting is about. Not making things perfect, but making things better. It puts us on a track so that generations from now, we can look back and say, you know what . Right about then, things started Getting Better again. The fact you dont get 100 of what you want right away is not a good reason to vote. You just have to keep at it. Typically, just over 50 of us vote who are eligible. Think about that. Almost half of the people in most elections who are eligible to vote dont vote. Imagine if 60 of us voted. Imagine if 70 of us voted. Imagine, january 20, when we swear in a president and Vice President whos got a plan to get us out of this mess, who care about folks like you, who have been in your shoes, who know what it is like to struggle, who know what it is like to have to work hard, who think about working americans and have a plan to help you started getting ahead. Imagine what it will be like to have a president and Vice President who believe and science and protecting this planet for our children, and who believe in racial equality and are sending a clear signal that we are in this together and are doing the work to bring us closer so that we have an america where no matter what we look like or where we come from or who we love or how much money weve got, we can make it and we have a place where we are treated with dignity and respect. Michigan, thats what possible. I am asking you to remember thats possible. I want you to remember what this country can be, but you cannot just imagine a better future. You cant just wish for it. Youve got to fight for it. Youve got to fight for it. We have to outhustle the other side, leave no doubt about who we are and what this country stands for. If we do, we will send gary peters back to the senate and we will elect a man who loves this country and who cares about you and who will fight for every single one of us and look out not just for folks who support him but even the folks who do not. My friends, the next president of the United States of america, joe biden. Joe biden. [applause] [playing of stevie wonders sir duke] obama joe biden. Honk if you are ready to go. Mr. Biden mr. President , thank you, thank you, thank you. It kind of reminds you of how good it can be listening to him, doesnt it . As my mother would say about barack obama, i love him. He is a good man. Folks, it is good to be back with friends. Governor whitmer, debbie stabenow, my buddy, gary peters, who you are going to send back to the United States senate, because i am going to need him. You can always count on him to be a senator for you and your family. My good friend, congressman dan kildee, who we need to send back out. Dans a good man. And, of course, i wish we could figure out how to send back a guy who we used to have an expression up in scranton. We would say when somebody wasnt somebody elses equal. We would say, he was not a patch on his jeans. I tell you what, mr. President , you are still driving him crazy because he is not a patch on your jeans. Barack obama, it is great to be with the president again. He reminds me of what we can be when you have a president of character, a president who is respected around the world, a president our kids looked up to and look up to. I want to throw something we do not say often enough and i mean this from the bottom of my heart. Barack obama was a great president of the United States of america. I want to make sure we say here today, mr. President , thank you, thank you, thank you. We went through eight years without one single trace of scandal. Not one single trace of scandal. Its going to be nice to return to that. Flint, three days. Three days. We can put an end to this presidency we have now that has divided the nation. Three days. We can put an end to a presidency that has failed to protect this nation. Three days. We can put an end to the presidency that has fanned the flames of hate all across this nation and made us a laughing stock around the world. Millions of americans have already voted. Millions more are voting today, tomorrow, and, god willing, all the way through the close of the polls on tuesday. And my message is simple. The power to change the country is not figuratively, it is literally in your hands. I do not care how hard donald trump tries, there is nothing let me say it again there is nothing he can do to stop the people of this nation from voting in overwhelming numbers and taking back this democracy. And when americans vote, no matter how many threats he makes, america will be heard. When america is heard, i believe the message will be loud and it is going to be clear. It is time for donald trump to pack his bags and go home. We are done with the chaos, the tweets, the anger, the hate, the failure, the refusal to take any responsibility. We have got a lot of work to do. We have got a lot of work to do. And if i am elected your president , we are going to do it. We are going to act. We are going to need your help in doing it as well. We are going to have to get covid under control. On day one of my presidency, i will put into action a plan i have been talking about for months, already laid out, a national mandate, mask wearing, social distancing, testing, tracing, all things, as president obama just said, could have and should have been put in place months and months ago. A plan for a full, fair, and free distribution of therapeutics and a vaccine when we get one. Imagine where we would be if we had a president who wore a mask instead of mocking it. I can tell you this, we wouldnt have 9 million confirmed cases of covid in this nation. Over 230,000 deaths. We would not be seeing a Record Number of new cases we are seeing 90,000 cases today, yesterday. 90,000 new cases. By the way, 500,000 in the past week. This guy tells us it is going away. What makes it go away is if he goes away. Folks, we would not be facing another 200,000 deaths in the next few months. This president knew in january the virus was deadly and tried to improve his image. He tried to talk to bob woodward. He thought he could change his mind. But what he did it, he let it be known, all the way back in january, he knew how dangerous this pandemic was and he hid it from the American People. He knew it was worse than the flu, but he lied to the American People. He knew it would not disappear, but he kept telling us a miracle was coming. Yesterday, he had the gall to suggest that american doctors, people who are putting their lives on the line on the front lines to save other lives, along with nurses and so many others, he suggested falsely that they are inflating the number of covid deaths to make more money. What in the hell is wrong with this man . Excuse my language, but think about it. It is perverted. He may believe it because he does not do anything other than for money. People in this nation have suffered and sacrificed for nine months, none more so than the doctors on the front lines and health care workers, and this president is questioning their character, their integrity, their commitment to their fellow americans . It is more than offensive. It is a disgrace, especially coming from a president who has waved the white flag of surrender to this virus. Our Frontline Health care workers have given their all to beat the virus. We have a president who has just given up. I will never raise the white flag of surrender. We are going to beat this virus and we will get it under control. And the first step to doing that is beating donald trump. Look, donald trump keeps telling us what a great job he has done as president. [laughs] oh, man. Well, did you know that president obama and i, as he pointed out, created more jobs in our first year than he did in his first three . How about this . Or did you know donald trump will be the first president in 90 years to finish his term with fewer jobs under his leadership than when he started . Look, that is a lot of president s. That is a lot of crises, but only donald trump will have fewer jobs at the end of his presidency than when he started. You see, i and barack understand something that donald trump does not. Wall street didnt build this country, you did. Working people built this country and unions built the middle class. Hes done nothing but wage war on american labor. I see the uaw sign out there. First outfit that ever endorsed me when i was a 29yearold kid, god love you. Look, we have a different view. We believe we should be rewarding work, not wealth in this country. Under my plan, if you make less than 400,000 a year, you will not pay a penny in additional taxes, but the wealthiest people, the biggest corporations, 91 of the fortune 500 companies paid zero in federal income tax last year. They are going to start to pay their fair share. The super wealthy will pay the same rate they did at the beginning of george bushs administration. And corporations are going to start paying their fair share. Why should a firefighter, an educator, a nurse pay a higher tax rate than someone making literally a billion dollars . Why should you pay more taxes than donald trump . He paid 750 in taxes the year we know of. I released 22 years of my tax returns. You can go online and look. He has not released one. He talks about corruption. What is he hiding . He owes 41 million. Who does he owe it to . If you have noticed, he is the only president i know of that has a secret bank account in china. He paid 50 times more taxes in beijing than he has paid in the United States, and this guy talks about corruption . Look, were also going to act to protect health care. Trump and the republicans just jammed through a Supreme Court nominee for one overwhelming reason. As barack said, the president said, they have tried over 50 shots to take out obamacare, destroy the Affordable Care act, but they will be in court, i believe in seven days after the election, win or lose they will be in court. If they get their way, 100 million americans will lose protections for preexisting conditions, including more than 4 million michiganders. Donald trump thinks health care is a privilege. Barack and i think it is a right for people to have health care. We are not only going to restore obamacare, we will build on it. We will keep your private insurance if you like it, and you can choose a medicare like public option if you dont. We will create subsidies to lower premiums, deductibles, outofpocket spending. Reduce Prescription Drug cost by 60 . We will keep protections for people with preexisting conditions. Meanwhile, donald trump laid out what he will do in his second term if he is elected to Social Security. The actuary at the Social Security Administration Says if he gets that plan passed, it will bankrupt Social Security by 2023, something millions of americans live on, paid for for their whole life. When i said back six years ago, as debby will tell you, republicans are trying to eliminate medicare. They said that is crazy. The first thing paul ryan and the republicans in congress did was try to cut billions of dollars out of medicare. These guys mean what they say. I am going to protect Social Security, medicare, and medicaid. Because it is a lifeline for so many hardworking folks, but folks, i have to admit to you this is kind of personal with me there is nothing worse that this president has done, in my view, than the way he speaks about our women and men in uniform and those who have given their lives. He called them losers and suckers. My son beau was a major in the United States army. He gave up the attorney generals job and petitioned to be able to go with his unit to iraq for one solid year. Being in kosovo, i might add i will be a typical dad he is the only foreigner in kosovo that has a 12 foot memorial dedicated to him, a major highway, the beau biden highway, dedicated to him because of his commitment. Guess what . He wasnt a sucker. He wasnt a loser, nor are any of you who served. You are patriots. And just like all of your sons and daughters, your parents or grandparents who served. The president likes to portray himself i love this. He likes to portray himself as a tough guy. When you were in high school, takent you have liked to anyway, a macho man. But when is the last time you read about, saw, heard about a president of the United States literally being laughed at by World Leaders when he spoke to the United Nations . Laughed at, out loud. When is the last time you saw a president of the United States being openly mocked by the leaders of nato at a nato conference . And can you believe we have a president who acts like Vladimir Putins puppy . Putin put bounties on the heads of american soldiers serving in iraq, and trump was too scared to challenge him. Talked to him six times and hes never mentioned it. Trump is not strong. He is weak. He commands little respect on the international stage. This is a president who not only doesnt understand sacrifice, he doesnt understand courage, the physical courage it takes to serve in uniform in a war zone. Maybe that is why six generals and admirals who worked for him left his administration and said he was unfit to be commanderinchief. When is the last time any president has had that happen . Tough guy. That is why joint special Operations Commander mcchrystal, that is why head of the navy seals who oversaw bin laden, and 22 other four stars support me. To be there next commander in chief, because like obama and bush before him, they know we will respect them, we will support them. I have been in and out of war zones as senator and Vice President over 35 times. I tell you what. These folks we have, only 1 of the country is in the military. We owe them. They are the backbone, the sinew, the heart of who we are. That is why we have to support our military and get rid of trump. Folks, you know, i want to tell you something. Think about this. This is a guy who says there is no such thing as Climate Change. He calls it a hoax. I see it as jobs, health, and safety. The impacts on climate too often fall disproportionately on poor communities and communities of color. We will make sure communities benefit from the hundreds of billions of federal investment we will do as a consequence of the changing structure. We will create local jobs to rebuild roads, build sidewalks, install broadband, create places to live, work, and play safely, modernize infrastructure so you can turn on the faucet and clean water comes out, and what happened in flint will never happen again anywhere in america. We can and must do this. Donald trump has rolled back more than 100 Environment Protection laws, many enacted under barack and me. I will also hold polluters accountable, with the most ambitious environmental plan ever. Protesting is not burning or looting, violence cannot be tolerated and it wont, but these protests are a cry for justice. The names of george floyd, breonna taylor, jacob blake, will not soon be forgotten. They will inspire a new wave of justice in america. Americans have their eyes opened up. They are ready. Look, i believe this country has to come together. I know when i announced well over a year ago when i said i wanted to unite the country, everybody said that is naive. Everybody said that was a long time ago. You did it before, you cannot do it again. Well, we can and we must. We have no choice. That is how democracies work. I am running as a proud democrat, but i will govern as an american president. I will work as hard for those who dont support me as those who do. That is the job of a president. It is the duty to care, the duty to care for everyone, so please vote. If you still have an absentee ballot, get it to a dropbox as soon as you can. You can also safely vote early until monday afternoon or on election day. Just make a plan. Help get out the vote. As you have heard 10 times already, visit iwillvote. Com mi. Folks, we have such an Incredible Opportunity. Well, god love you. Thank you very much, but heres the deal, guys. We have got to vote up and down the ticket here. I, honest to god, believe i give you my word i believe we are at an inflection point. We have the chance to make such enormous progress because the American People have seen what the other looks like. They have gotten a glimpse of the abyss. I really mean it. They are ready. They are ready to change so much. I will never forget what president kennedy said when he promised to send us to the moon, he used a phrase that has guided me. He said, we are doing it because we refuse to postpone. Well, i refuse to postpone the Incredible Opportunity for the American People. There is nothing beyond our capacity. There is no limit to americas future. The only thing that can tear america apart is america itself, and that is exactly what donald trump has been doing from the beginning of this campaign, dividing america, pitting americans against one another based on race, gender, ethnicity, national origin. Its wrong. Its unamerican. That is not who we are. Folks, Everybody Knows who donald trump is. Lets keep showing them who we are. We choose hope over fear, we choose unity over division, we choose science over fiction. And, yes, we choose truth over lies. My fellow americans, it is time for us to stand back and stand up and take back our democracy. We can do this. We are so much better than we have been. We can be what we are at our best, the United States of america. God bless you all and may god protect our troops. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
