Take radical action within the next 10 or 15 years, we could be talking about a civilization collapse. We could be talking about food shortages, mass starvation, hunter is possibly of millions of refugees hundreds of millions of refugees and social collapse that we have not talked about in the modern era. And need to talk more about ben and liz preparation for war endless preparation for war. Bring the boys home. We should be talking about waiting peace, waging peace. We cannot just deal with the guns and just deal with the military budget, we also need to have a u. S. Department of peace, department of children and youth, we need to pay reparations, we need to get real in this country about the things that we need to get real about. Donald trump has ushered in an era of political theater. And we will not be going back. Ladies and gentlemen, it is not just a politician. He is a phenomenon. And the only way we will defeat them is if we create a phenomenon of our own. And a phenomenon of our own is not an individual but it is an arousal, an inspiration, it is a motivation among the American People that will not occur with the same old same old. This is our plan and this is how we fix it. When he to have something that is so real and that people all over this country know thats telling it like it is and that is the moral values about which proud to beay, im an american. I might be a conservative, i might be liberal, i mightve been a republican or a democrat but you know what . That woman i s right. Ladies and gentlemen, i know what you have been told. Marianne williamson she is not one of them. Dont you get it . I challenge the idea that only those whose careers have been trans entrenched in the decade in the system could d rive is out of it. Womens suffrage did not come from the government. People rose up and people stepped in. Civil rights did not come from the government. It started because the people rose up in the people stepped in. Ladies and gentlemen, it is time once again for the people to step in. Time i hope youll look at my website marianne2020. Com and at least consider deep in your heart next time somebody says, you could never win. You might want to think of saying, actually she might be the only one who can. Thank you very, very, very much. Not the only one but we will make sure the democrat wins. I appreciate it. God bless you. Hey. Who are you voting for, teddy . He said the meeting is called to order. If you cannot tell he is a county chair kid. Attorney general tom miller is serving in his tent four year term as the attorney general of iowa. No, you cant do it. The longestserving attorney general in american history. He has done so much to help hundreds of thousands of iowans, reducing telemarketing crimes. This is a terrible idea. And helping people all over the nation. He was a leader in the multistate Settlement Agreement that resulted in the Tobacco Industry paying billions of dollars to states in changing the way conducts its business. He is not running for president. Although as iowans we wish he was. He is here to introduce governor steve bullock. Join me in welcoming attorney general tom miller. Hello. [applause] hey. Hey, welcome. Hearty iowa democrats. Bullock for 12 years since he first became attorney general of montana. Here is what i know about him and is also the reasons why i am supporting him for president. He is a man of immense integrity and character. He is a person of extraordinary qualities and abilities when it comes to Public Policy and serving in government. He has an enormously good judgment on how to make decisions. Hes roughly the same place i am i wouldssues, which describe as mainstream liberal, mainstream progressive, not a moderate nor on the left. But what stands out in my mind is his ability to connect with people and voters. Of all the people ive seen come over decades,ses he and Barack Obama Connect with People Better than anybody else. And the reason i say this is they both respect everybody equally. Everybody is important. He goes everywhere, rural, urban areas. He listens to people. He empathizes with people. He connects with people. Him tockage has allowed win in montana, a very difficult state. Win in rural and urban areas, run 24 points ahead of hillary clinton. Those kinds of qualities will allow him to be, i think the best of the candidates in iowa. When we have such difficult fights an important fight for the senate, for congress, for the iowa house. He could help our candidates. The same reason why he would run y hetrong in iowa is wh would want so strong in wisconsin, pennsylvania, michigan, and other places. This is the man that can lead us to victory. And the same qualities i have talked about are the kind of qualities that we needed a president as well. So, iowa democrats, take a good look at this man. And think about him. My friend, steve bullock. Tom. Bullock thank you, thank you, iowa look, about this time of year you got all kinds of visitors trying to make some distant connection to your state, so im not going to tell you my great great grandparents settled henry countyi in 1850. Because that is not why we gather. We gather for the sake of our nation, for the sake of our e world and for the sake of the america we will pass on the next generation. Make sureto donald trump is a one term president. You know, it is more than just that. Its soundly rejecting this behavior he has normalized, the lies, the abuse of power, the dividedness of race and gender and geography. For goodness sakes, we expect more out of our preschoolers than we do the president of the United States. As democrats we win when we offer something better, when we show up, we listen, when we vote the challenges of everyday americans. I was raised in a singleparent household, paychecktopaycheck. Only knew there was a governors house because i delivered newspapers as a kid. Ive made it literally four blocks in life. But i worked my way through college. I borrowed my way through law school. Never forget that day when my wife and i paid off 175,000 in todays terms of student debt. You know what, though . When i growing up 90 of 30 year olds were doing better than her parents were. Today it is only half. 60 of americans have not had a pay increase in 40 years. 2 3 of the countys loss businesses over the last decade and you should not have to leave your church, your school or your Community Just to make a decent living. When you go from delivering newspapers to the governors house as a kid, to now actually raising our family and it, youve lived the American Dream. You got a recognized for so many folks in this country that fair shot at a better life, no longer exists. For far too many that shot never did. Yeah, this is about winning the election. But it is also about making sure the economy in washington, d. C. , is finally working for working people. First things first. We need make this a single issue election and that single issue is kicking donald trump out of the white house. The only democrat in the country to win a statewide reelection the state trump won. To 35 of myr, 25 voters voted for donald trump. This election is about math. We need to take back 270 electoral votes. Path to our maker does not just go to the coasts or through the urban areas, it goes to the places like iowa. A third of your counties voted obama, obama, trump. This election is about the state house and the white house. Dark secret is we spend a lot of time loving you all to death. And then byebye. Come february, we all leave and you are left with a legislature that is gutting health care, stripping away rights from women, from workers. We need to make sure we have somebody at the top of the ticket that is actually going to help out all throughout the ticket. I believe i am the best candidate to carry that message to all of america. I refuse to see the votes of r ural america as the folks that work the land, feed the world and pass the plate on sundays somehow are forever wedded to a lying with orange hair and a golden toilet. I have won three election and a red states not by compromising our values by by getting stuff done. But by getting stuff done. Even with the legislation that is a more republican than yours, we actually passed health care for 100,000 folks. We made it so we had mental icked darkity, we k money out of our elections and we froze college to and more and we have done that with ever once without ever once compromising womans right to make her own health care decisions. Union side labor lawyer we have done that without ever once taking away a workers right to organize and collectively bargain. The only democrat left in this race, the only governor left in this race and somehow i have not made it through those dnc debate role so far because i only got in four months ago. And is set up chasing donors, i was actually working with our Republican Legislature to get and Save Health Care for 100,000 montanans. Signed by last bill on monday, announced on tuesday and by thursday i was in iowa. Trying to they are do, but if we really are the party of the people, we ought to actually prioritize not chasing donors but actually saving peoples lives along the way. Most important election certainly in all of our. Lifetimes yeah, it is about beating donald trump, preserving a 243 year experiment called Representative Democracy. We need to be able to win back some of those places that we lost along the way. 135 days from now is when you all, you voters start making the decision, taking a big field into a small field. Ive learned a lot about iowa nice. You are somewhere on my list. I ask you take a good look over the next 135 days. Put me at the top of my list because i can bring those places and because there is something else. It is not just donald trump that is on the ballot. Experimentust a 243 called Representative Democracy that is on the ballot. Indeed, the American Dream is on the ballot right now. Big problems in this country. Remember how united we were as a nation after 9 11 . We came came together with purpose, compassion, unity. We need that now. We need to be able to bridge some of these divides. We need to be able to heal some divisions and challenge the greatest thing that is happening right now and that really is that so many folks in this country do not feel they can live the American Dream, have a fair shot at a better future. We can do that. My most solemn vow when i take the oath of office, to preserve, protect and defend the also thaton, yes, but American Dream, to make it real for the next generation. I ask you to take a closer look, go to steve bullock. Com. This will not be the last time you see me in iowa. Thanks so much for being here today. Thanks for what you will do over the next 135 days. Take care. Believe in steve believe in steve believe in steve believe in steve it is not easy to give a speech in the rain. Lets have another round of applause for governor steve bullock, who we all love so much. Our last speaker is here just before the rainstorm is really going to pick up. Congressman tim ryan is the u. S. Representative for ohios 13 district. He has served in Congress Since 2003 and represents traditionally bluecollar towns from youngstown to akron. He is a vocal supporter of unions and has led the charge on lost a crackdown on currency manipulation by foreign countries. A fiery and impassioned speaker, he is also an advocate for a more balanced life. He has authored books on meditation and healthy eating. He actually closed down our first steak fry revival in 2017, and by the look of the draw, he gets to close it down and bring us home again. Please join me in welcoming my friend. Congressman tim ryan is our last beaker tonight. [cheers and applause] our last speaker tonight. [cheers and applause] representative ryan thank you, io. Thank you so much. This is great. We dont stop playing football if it rains, do we . So we dont stop politicking when it rains. My name is tim ryan. I have been in the United States congress for 13 years. I represent the state of ohio, northeast ohio, and we have a tragedy in our community, one of our communities several weeks back in dayton, where we saw a terrible act of violence where a bunch of young people who went out to go have a few drinks one mass ended up watching gun that somebody should not have had. These young people literally watch people bleeding out on the iteets of dayton, ohio, like happens in so many other communities across the United States every single day, so i want to be very, very clear here with you in iowa today. Mitch mcconnell needs to get off s and passed the comprehensive background check till that is sitting in the United States senate that will save lives all over the United States. I dont think we can take this issue lightly or any other, but i am running for president because i believe we have to get away from the current left right divide. Weve got to get away from the left right divide. I want to tell you, im prepared for this. I got my Progress Iowa hat on here. Let me just say let me just say a couple things. One is weve got to get away from the left and right as a Democratic Party. We have got to be the party of new and better. New and better ways of addressing the issues around the economy. New and better ways of addressing the issues around health care, new and better ways of addressing the issues around climate change, and i want to share a couple of them with you thank you, my brother. Give this gentleman a hand. [cheers and applause] representative ryan this is where my wife would say, you run for president , you get spoiled. This would be an example of that. I want to talk to you about a few issues. We only have a few minutes left. We got to come up with new ideas that are going to solve our problems. One of the first things i want to do is appoint a chief manufacturing officer. We need to make sure we start making things again in the United States, and if we are going to fix the issue of climate and climate change, we need to build our way out of this, and that means we need to build electric vehicles. We need to build solar. We need to build wind, batteries, charging stations. This is a multitrillion dollar opportunity for us here in the United States of america, and right now, china dominates electric vehicles. China dominates batteries. China dominates solar. When i am president , those products will be built by American Workers here in the communities that have lost so much over the last 30 or 40 years. I believe we have got to have a new conversation around health care. Of course we all believe that health care is a right. Of course we all believe everybody should have access to it, and there should be a public option, but the conversation we are having today around Health Conversation around a broken system. It is around a disease care system, a sick care system, and 3. 5 trillion a year is spent on chronic diseases that are largely preventable. I want to be the president that shifts the Health Care System to a system where we reverse chronic disease in the United States of america, where we adopt things like food as medicine, where we are literally today reversing things like type 2 diabetes using food and medicine and other intervention. I want us to play offense in Rural America. Too often, the Democratic Party has forgotten rural communities. I have an agenda for us to move into Rural America and win, and there is not a better opportunity because President Trump has screwed the American Farmers in ways they have never had to deal with before. I want us to convert our farming system away from an industrial agriculture system to a system of regenerative and sustainable agriculture. [cheers and applause] want ustative ryan i to build a system where we get rid of algae blooms in our lakes, where we heal our planet, heal things like the dead zones at the mouse mouth of the river at the mouth of the Mississippi River and we literally can start sequestering carbon so we can deal with the issue around climate. The is the best part of regenerative agriculture movement. That farmers can finally make money because they are reducing all of the pesticides, they are reducing all of the fertilizer that they have to buy in a broken system that they are trapped in. We can go to Rural America and say we are going to rebuild downtown, renovate that theater, build a river walk, build an amphitheater, make sure we have housing in the downtowns. We are going to build community again. I represent a lot of small and midsize cities. I will tell you as your president , you will not be forgotten. We are going to rebuild small towns in the united of america again. I lastly want to talk about education. In order to build those vehicles, we are going to need to rebuild the Vocational Training and all of our schools. One of the worst decisions we made in this country was getting rid of vocational education, so we need to make sure we do that, but if we do not shift the conversation away from how we get higher test scores to a conversation that says how we take care of our kids, how we traumainformed care, how we have social and emotional learning, how do we have art therapy and Music Therapy and play therapy if we dont heal the trauma, our kids will never be able to learn, and we have learned more about the brain and the last 20 years then in the previous 200, and we know when the brain is traumatized. We know when theres violence in a community or in a household that the childs brain literally is not working. Education,ot reform i want to transform it. I will be the education president in the American People<\/a> that will not occur with the same old same old. This is our plan and this is how we fix it. When he to have something that is so real and that people all over this country know thats telling it like it is and that is the moral values about which proud to beay, im an american. I might be a conservative, i might be liberal, i mightve been a republican or a democrat but you know what . That woman i s right. Ladies and gentlemen, i know what you have been told.
