The sanders who took the stage was the same man who pitched his economic populist message to adoring crowds across the country, but also worked hard to connect with a skeptical audience by framing his message as one of morality and justice. He quoted from the bible and praised pope francis. He bowed his head in prayer and spoke about how to bring people together. Here is the speech now. It is 50 minutes. Thank you. David, they do that chant a lot better than you do. Thank you for that warm introduction and welcome to convocation this morning. We are humbled to welcome a very special guest. Senator Bernie Sanders. [applause] the democratic candidate for president of the United States. We made roomrs, for a lot of your supporters locally on the front row, so you have a fan club. 2006, senator sanders was elected to the u. S. Senate for the first time after serving for 16 years as the sole congressman from vermont. He went on to be reelected in 2012. He was born in oakland, new york and a
Spaces to people. Theres a probability that the young people today, sometime in their lives, even if theyck te n galactic and others that a starting on this road to space. It is exciting. See a lot more. Right now there are 550 people that have ever been in space. I think that number is going to grow substantially over the next decade. Mr. Huges do you think there is more excitement now about prospects in space than at any point . People arelly starting to think that this will affect them. ,n some of our lifetimes instead of taking a flight to new york or london, that or seven takes 6. 5 hours, maybe some of us will take that flight and how fast we can do it in the space shuttle, that is 40 minutes. There is no reason why that is not possible in the coming decade. I think people are starting to think about those differences. Mr. Huges how about a round of applause for our guests . [applause] our nationalnk press club staff, including the Journalism Institute for their work on todays pr
Countries like honduras or others that have two times the murder rate of mexico but mexico does have a high murder rate. I think its about four time, over four times the american rate. Five times four times the american rate. I wonder if some of you could the differences in some cities compared to other cities and whether you think it is right now particularly dangerous in these cities with the higher the differences in rates themselves. Sir, i think the embassy in mexico city and the different types of agencies that are represented there mr. Starr and the different mr. Starr and the different agencies represented there have different types of violence. That fuels a lot of murder rates. As we said earlier, 25 million americans visit mexico every single year. Very few of those people have any type of problem there. You know, tourism is a very big dizz. Is a very big business. Were acutely aware of certain places where the drug cartels, one is trying to take over another, or theres a spl
Your Retirement Security by proposing to change your health care program. Into a voucher system. The program, on the republican l 6,000 more a year out of the pocket. People have to make their own Investment Decisions on Retirement Funds going forward. What contributes to uncertainty and feeling like they are not sure that the ground is going to remain firm. So, i think that that causes voters to turn to candidates and leaders who are going to focus on policies that will ensure that their chance to reach, and remain in, the middle class are greater. Do you think the democratic arctic in the u. S. . Rep. Wasserman schultz of course, absolutely. I think the left is the center of america right now. Not the far left, or the far right, that i think the messages that come from left and center, that focus on reaching the cornerstones of the middle class where americans are today.

Way things used to be. We also have one that meets the needs for our economy. As you know, my aspiration for this country is to grow is far as the eye can see. If we were doing that, i can promise you that the demands on government will subside. Here will be a lot more people they will be working for companies that would be able to increase their pay. Instead of having to push off their health care costs. Oppression of wages today is obamacare. It is not working. More of the costs are associated and put on the backs of employees. Takehome pay has declined. We are in the sixth year of a recovery. Disposable income is less than it was the day recovery started. Health care costs are part of this. Moving to a different system would make it work. According to the Congressional Budget Office repealing obamacare would increase gdp growth i point 77 . Over five years.
