manchester, new hampshire. >> >> thank you. my name is joe biden. i am jill's has been. -- i am jill's husband. we are here to say thank you. so many of you in this audience have been my friends for such a long, long time. i was a 29-year-old kid when i made my first become a senate floor. i stood between.mac entire's desk -- i stood between todd mcintyre's desk and -- but i go all the way back and it has been a great pleasure to get to know so many people. we know, we know, finally, you aren't the title grand state -- finally you earned the title grand state because you have for women running the show. [laughter] [applause] mr. biden: this is solid. the amazing thing is i campaigned for all of them. [laughter] [applause] jill: i want to ecowas joe said -- i want to echo what joe said. it is nice to be back among friends. i want to thank everyone for supporting us through our administration, through our tough time with beau and it has been such an honor to serve the people of this nation, so thank you. [applause] mr. biden: unfortunately, like so many in the audience remembers that god-awful club. the thing i was not going to say, but jill said it, so many of you were so good to our beau and the way in which you wrapped your arms around us. if i started naming names, i would name half the room. i mean it, the things you did for jill and me and hunter and ashley and injuries about beau's kids. -- and the inquiries you made about beau's kids. it has been remarkable. but i have been saying for some time, and i mean it, and you are part of the reason i say it, is that all politics is personal. it is all personal. and your state, and you heard me say it so many times before, it is almost -- it is so much like my state of delaware. everybody knows everybody, literally. everybody kind of knows everybody. [laughter] mr. biden: but nonetheless, the policies are not quite as course. you can still talk to one another. and so, if i were to write a book and just listen, the personal things, the incredibly thoughtful things, quietly done that they really do. many of you have been touched by it. it helps, it helps, it helps. when i got asked by ray to come up, there was not a doubt in my mind, even though i know it caused a lot of speculation, guys, i am not running. [laughter] mr. biden: i know that has caused a lot of speculation. look look -- i, you know, jeannie and maggie and carolyn we have become friends. i know their families. and give ben a big kiss when i get back. and they have become friends. one reason they had become friends is we share the same value set. i stood for billie when he was introduced because he is the kind of guy i grew up with. my mother used to have an expression, and i made it sincerely. she said, from the time i was old enough to remember -- joe, remember, you are defined by your courage and you are redeemed by your loyalty. [applause] mr. biden: so -- [applause] mr. biden: the neighbors i came from and's grand -- the neighbors i came from -- you were always measured by the guys you helped. billy, i love you. i also want to mentor the loss of scott. the state suffered a real loss. -- i want to mention the loss of scott. the state suffered a real loss. i have read the stories about the kids he helped. now gone at age 51. imagine how many more stories about how kids who could've helped? but it is part of the tradition appear. you know folks, let me begin by saying, there is a second reason why i am here. and i mean it sincerely. that is to say thanks. to say thank you for the support you have given me over the years . i especially want to thank you for the support you gave me and barack over the last eight years, and thank you for supporting hillary. thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. she would've made a great president. [applause] mr. biden: folks iou -- i owe you. we owe you. and we could never repay you. [applause] mr. biden: there is a second reason i'm here. i used to always judge, and some of you know me well, like chief justice broderick. i always measured in my state the sincerity and authenticity of a public official based on what they did when there were no longer running. if they still showed up, if they still went to that columbus club meeting, or still worked at the boys and girls club, and still did the things they said in their heart, they are the ones that i respected the most. we no longer hold public office, but i made a promise to myself first of all, but to my constituency that when i left the vice presidency, i continued to do everything in my power to support the democratic party elect democrats at every level across this nation. i meant it because it is important. i'm ready to help raise money and recruit candidates, campaign, so is barack, whatever you want, let me know because it is important. i am not looking for applause. it is really generally -- it is really really, genuinely important. i am also committed to do what i can to help shape the public debate. you know, i thought about it. from my entire adult life i have been 26 result, every morning i have gotten up, there has been an issue that has intimated -- that has animated my day. that is what it has been about. and to levy to go out and do a lot of other things, i thought it just, i don't know how i would do it. jill and i when we decided to finally announce we want running -- announced we were not running, we went down to a friend's beach, the end of october -- friend's beach home at the end of october. the front page of the wall street journal, it said, it is possible. we really asked ourselves, if you have all the money in the world, what would you do different? what would you do differently? because we were raised in the same neighborhood 50 miles apart, by the same parents, we decided that there were only a few things he wanted to do. jill is a beach girl, raised in southern new jersey. i have always wanted her to have a house not on the beach, but at the beach. and then set up a trust fund for our son beau's children so they would never have to worry about their education. thirdly, quite frankly, pay off the mortgage on the house the second mortgage on the house the wedding mortgage on the house, so if i dropped dead tomorrow, jill has the house. [laughter] mr. biden: once we make a decision, we decided we had time to do the things we care about. jill continues to teach. jill is now the chairman of the "save the children worldwide." [applause] mr. biden: and i know i talked about it because i get to hang out with her a little bit. i talked to maggie about this. i was looking for a platform to be able to take all of those brilliant, young, and not so young folks in our administration out of the white house and still be with me. and so, i was able to because of the generosity of two universities, who came to me. i was able to do that. they just started the biden institute at the university of delaware, which is staffed -- [applause] mr. biden: i was able -- they gave me $2.5 million to higher the best that i could hire. they are out of the white house. they are out of power administration. so we can and like the best minds in the country to do serious, serious policy work. and then the university of pennsylvania asked me whether i would become a professor? the only reason i agreed is so i wouldn't be the soul is one of the family. [laughter] mr. biden: i am insisting that jill call me professor from now on. [laughter] mr. biden: i am the benjamin crump and professor, anyway, i am a big deal. [laughter] mr. biden: by the way, jeannie i did not know this -- they pay professors more than a pay the vice president for god's sake. [laughter] mr. biden: and they were generous enough to rename the school for policy, the biden institute for foreign policy and they gave me a staff number. [applause] mr. biden: the people who literally would be running hillary's state department. i don't mean at a second or third level, but the people who would be running. we plan on having a voice intellectual input, not just political input. on great issues of the day. i called maggie and i asked her to sit in on one of my policy briefings. look folks -- the fact is we have -- i'm really a lucky man. on top of that, there was a lot of generous help that raised millions. i am determined to continue my fight against violence against women. [applause] mr. biden: i'm determined, and i mean this sincerely -- to protect the rights of lgbtq community. [applause] mr. biden: we have again the people who ran along with me are there. they are the experts in the nation. they are there at that foundation. so, it is a great, great great opportunity. and then, i think with the help of your delegation, i think we made enormous progress in the cancer moonshot. we moved things along in a way that i do have time to explain but the truth is, when i went to the administration to see if they wanted to pick it up, they are not there yet. a group of the leading cancer experts in the world concluded -- including eric lander at m.i.t. elizabeth jaffey, and the committee that we will be announcing at the end of the month, that we will continue -- and we will continue to push the barriers because we are close. we are close to making such fundamental changes that we can actually extend life. we can cure some cancers. [applause] mr. biden: your children -- remember i said this when children get their vaccinations for measles and mumps, they will be able to get vaccinations against various forms of cancer. [applause] mr. biden: jill and i decided that we will devote the rest of our lives to promote this. here is the point -- the point is that we feel extremely fortunate, but everything i -- i listen to all of your speakers, and i call them the salt on things we value so deeply. and i am not bad. i think i could probably give a very good version of that speech, too. but as i go around the country speaking on the issues i just named, which i do about country a lot, there is something else happening. there is something else happening, and that is -- jeannie, you said it am i think that was you who said it -- there are things we have to focus on that we are going to do. in my view, the thing i want to talk with you a few minutes about tonight is what kind of country are we becoming? what kind of country do we want to be? and how to beget their -- and how do we get there? what made you a democrat in the first place? not a joke. what made you a democrat? why did you choose to be a democrat? there are a lot of decent, honorable republicans, but why did you choose to be a democrat? i would like to refocus our attention on the thing that i think people in new hampshire presumes to be the same. how do we unite america again? how do we unite this country? how do we end this bitter bitter bitter political division? and i think the way to do that is for us to start to talk more about the core values that make us americans. what are those core values? >> last piece is optimism. first, dignity. it is so basic but it's missing in so much today's discussion. how we talk about each other, how we treat each other, how we think about other people. it's a core american concept. dignity is deeply embedded in literally without trying -- mounding principle of this nation. i've met every major world leader in the last 44 years. i can say that without exception. i know personally every major world leader today because of my job and because of my responsibilities in the administration. they look at us, they respect us because they think we remain committed to all men and women are created equal. we've had terrible periods but at the core, we've managed. we hold these rights. certain and ail enable rights. of late, to be run rough shot over. not just the new guy. to me it starts with this. it's a simple proposition. the way i was raised, there's one essential requirement everyone and i mean everyone is entitled to be treated with dignity and respect, no matter who they are. it's foundational about how you take the most nation in the world and hold it together. but it's not happening today. the immigrant the minority, the transgender. anyone who seems as the other. anyone not like me is on receiving end so much bile and so much hate. scapegoating has become a national political occupation. they are the reason behind the i'm falling behind. they're the reason i can't compete. that's why i lost my job. just build a wall. that will keep them out. the fears of these people have been hurt, are being played upon instead of appealing to their better angels. as lincoln would say, better nationangels of our nation. unless you think the american people let us remember, for 172,100 votes we wouldn't be having this conversation. this is the lowest turnout in nine elections. [applause]. we've been here before in our history. post civil war the rise to the immigration, no nothing party in 1880. mccarthyism in the 1950's and the kennedy campaign. we've always returned to our better angels and our better nation. we've always overcome xenophobia and bigotry. we fought back as all your elected officials said tonight. we fought back with the truth then we won. if we do it we'll win again. look folks this last election, i think hillary in disadvantage because there was a double standard because she was a woman. beyond that, trump was pretty smart. he made it all personal. it wasn't the president's fault. they focused on that. responded the same way. one of the leading schools of journalism in the country university of pennsylvania, did a study they just put out. this last campaign, there were fewer words spoken relating to any issue of any campaign in modern history. nobody can tell you because of the way it was skewed. what hillary's position was on child care, free education, for college on a whole range of things. because this bile sucked up all the oxygen. the truth pointed out diversity, diversity has been our strength. immigration. one of the reasons we are the nation we are is we've been able to cherry pick the best of every culture from over 250 years. that's not hyperbole. he asked me to come and meet with him. i asked him, i said, because i spent more time with president xi than any world leader. 25 hours of private dinners with him. he wanted to talk. he wanted to pick my brain. this is the henry kissinger of age, written about the future of china, future of russia and the future the united states. so about -- he died shortly there after. he was sharp. he was 92 years old. they had a silk chord around him holding him up. i said, mr. president what's russia doing now? he looked back at me, god's truth, he said there in the united states of america. looking for the very black box. it's absolutely true. unlike you, i looked at him like, this is a time aircraft went down in the indian ocean. remember they never found the box. i said i don't understand mr. president. he said in america, trying to find the secrets that allow american the only country in the history of the world able to constantly remake itself. i said mr. president, i'm old enough now and presume to give you an answer. if they find that box, they'll find two things in that box. the first is we're all taught and raised to be suspect of orthodoxy. no child gets criticized for challenging anything in school. no matter how poor the school. unlike any nation in the world including our allies, great britain and france, we do not worship at the sign of orthodoxy. that's why we're the most progressive and innovative nation in the world. for real. i said the second thing they'll find, mr. president, they'll find an unrelenting wave of immigration from 1735 on. mr. president we have our periods of xenophobia. he looked at me like why that's so important. i said because we've been able to cherry pick are the best of every culture. think about it folks, where they came over in 1842 from the potato family, you came from guadalajara a week ago. it's not like people say, let's sell everything we have. let's give it to a criminal or coyote in the case of mexico. let's go to a country that doesn't want us, where we don't speak the language, where we know nothing about. won't that be fun? i'm serious. think about it. who are the people that come? people of courage and people of imagination, people with a sense of optimism. people with can do spirit. that's why who we are. that's what we've become. you can't define what an american is for me based on race and ethnicity and religion. you can't define it. it's an idea. an idea. when i was in a town 15 years ago, now 22 million people, tibetan plateau. i meant it. possibilities. possibilities. in america it's always been about possibilities. this diversity has been our strength. we're a nation of immigrants, constantly revitalizing our economy. you may remember when i went over to china after we have been downgradeed i think, carol we talked about it. i don't want to get you in trouble, i think we did. this was the whole thing about america now on its heels. what are we going to be able to do? how can we get back on our feet? the president politely embarrassed me with more press that i've seen, packed, 35 in his foreign policy people about 35 of ours. sitting to my left and right. we think you'll come back. we hope you can figure out how to do something about your entitlement system. some of you will remember this. i looked at him said don't worry, mr. president you bought $10 billion u.s. treasury notes two days we were downgraded. i said you really got criticized for it. i said don't buy anymore. i appreciate the help. americans own 87% of all assets. china owns 1%. i said, by the way, entitlement is a political problem in america. not an economic problem. my god mr. president, your situation, my god, by 2022 you have fewer people working than are retired. what are you going to do? if we can help in any way, let us know. [applause] here's the point. in the process, i said, your one china policy i will not criticize. it was during the election. that's when romney went after me saying, biden is supporting euthanasia and he didn't criticize the policy. you know why they don't have enough replacement workers. nor does japan. nor does any country in europe. but united states does. it does. folks, tolerance long been our greatest attributes. it has a profound positive economic impact on us. earn is the respect of the entire world. keeping us together to do great things. as i've said we had our ugly periods. we had our moments of shame. but the arc of this nation really has been towards justice to paraphrase. when i was a kid in scranton there 1 enough -- wasn't enough work for my dad to support the family. there was good jobs in the delaware and wilmington area. i remember dad come up to my grand pa's house. my mom had four brothers, big irish family. my dad have to say, can you take care of jeannie and the kids pop. i'll be back in a year. he came up and sat on the end of the bed, he told me it took the longest walk any parent had to make. he told his child you can't live in that house anymore. we're going to have to move. he said it with conviction. he said joe, take about a year, i'll be able to get a good job and when i do, i'll come home every weekend. it's only 157 miles pip thought that was like going to the moon. he kept his commitment. he got a good job. after that, the one thing my siblings and anyone who hung out at our home, i was one of those guys the mother wished he was their mother. my dad would say when recession could occur, someone lost a job he said joey, remember, a job is about a lot more than a paycheck. it's about your dignity. it's about your respect. it's about your place in society. he's about saying, honey is going to be okay. and meaning it. what is the most stunning statistic i can think of relating to longevity in america. published just a few years ago. the only demographic group in america for the last 50 or more years, actually seen their age decline is a class. white men between the age of 40 and 55. middle aged men. middle aged americans. a statistic that has driven down because of high suicide rates. highest substance abuse rates alcoholism drug overdose. it's a measure of the hopeless hopelessness to so many people out there feels. it proves my pop point's, you can live without a lot of things. you can't live without hope. you cannot live without hope. another one of my -- i don't expect the government to solve my problems. i expect them to understand my problems. we've got to prove as a party. that we understand their problems. millions of voter, 172,000 would not have voted the way they did. but for the fact they doubt whether we still remembered. because of the way he drowned out everything, did you hear any talk about the guy making $62,000 in assembly line and woman as a hostess making $32,000 with three kids and they're not able to make it folks. they're not able to make it. awful lot of cities in america. did we hear discussion about that middle class person? hillary cared about it but never got covered. question is, did we understand? i'm positive that want to be with us. but we have to prove again we understand that hopelessness. when you lose your job and you're 45, digitalization, artificial intelligence, globalization, all these things taking place. there is no obvious place to go for that high school educated black or white man or woman. we have to show them. we have to be the source of their hope. rake now it's hard to do in this political environment. it's so course and birth bitter and angry. when i first got to the senate, i didn't want to be the -- to go to the senate. my wife and daughter just been killed. i got elected. they got killed several weeks later. i didn't want to go. there were a number of people from mike mansfield age majority leader to teddy kennedy and couple of republicans who said, just be sworn in. there's only 1702 people sworn in. you owe it to your family and then leave after six months. every tuesday, i'd be summoned to the majority leader's office. i get an assignment. i swear to god, i thought everybody got assignments. can you imagine majority leader giving an assignment to a new senate? i'm serious. i'm the first senator ever knew. i didn't know any better. what mike was doing, he was taking my pulse to see how i was doing. was i going to be okay. he saved my sanity. i was walking in, end of may, for my 3:00 appointment and senators can tell you, walking through double doors see when the last vote will be and planning the schedule. i walked in, jesse jesse helms. he got elected same year as me. he was excoriateing, teddy kennedy and bob dole still a close friend of mine. for introducing the precursor for the americans with disabilities act. saming there's no obligation of the american government he went on and on. i thought it was heartless. i had my meeting with senator mansfield. i sat in front of the senator mansfield desk. i didn't understand how he can be here. i really mean it. i was truly upset. kind of like up -- upset some of the things trump is doing. he let me go on. he said joe, what would you say if i told you that in 1970, dot and jesse holmes sitting at their home in raleigh, picture of young man, 14-point face-to-face years old with steel braces and steel crutches. all i wanted was someone to love me. i said i feel like a fool. he said, joe, they did. he sat back and mansfield fashion, he said, you know, joe i learned couple things. it's always appropriate to question another man or woman's judgment. it's never appropriate to question a motive because you do not know. think about it, husband, wives, brothers sisters, friends and or competitors. whenever you question other person's motive, it makes them impossible to get to an agreement. when i say you're in the pocket of or i say you done this, you can't get there. think of what we do today. we attack first the motive -- you're unamerican, you're not christian, you're a racist, you're this and that. you wonder why. folks, when i got there the nation was more divided. we had nine pure racist in our caucus. the whole crowd. we had a war that ripped the country apart and families apart. the women's movement was causing such turmoil. the environment movement was almost stillborn. but we actually talked to each other. we don't know each other anymore. these women, speech out to the other side. but you go ask any democrat or republican, how many democrats do you know? john, when i learned if you're on opposite side you just lost your way. no matter how much i disagree with you. it's hard to dislike you. when you learned that i had this problem or that problem, we don't take time to know each other. for real. we can get so much more done. second thing we have to do, you have to begin to think big again. democrats as well. thinking big is just part of who we are as americans. it's stamped in our dna. this is country born out of the biggest david goliath battle in history. we overcome one of the bloodiest civil war, dividing families and ripping countries apart. abe lincoln not only brought it together he brought the continent together. he built the transcontinental railroad. ladies and gentlemen it's an incredible vision. he thought big. nothing small. we've always thought big. from the hoover damn landing man on the moon, curing polio building the internet, sequencing human genome. i can go on and on. that is united states of america. that's who we are. that's in our dna we got to start thinking big again. [applause] folks. this is all within our wheel house. we're going to cure cancer. we are. we're going -- what's going to happen in the next ten years we'll astound your children. be able to circle a globe in an hour. hyperloop to travel on the ground from california to new york in a matter of hours. 3d printers begin to literally think body parts to be transplanted into your body. there's so much progress. so much promise. so many possibilities. you know, if you ever forget this, if you ever stop thinking big, we'll lose the soul of this nation. third thing, we have to remember why we have reason to be optimistic. i'm so sick and tired of what even amongst some democrats whoa, this is so hard. whoa what a hill to climb. folks, we're better positioned -- this is a fact -- we're position than any nation on earth to lead the world in the 21st century. i remember going to the warden school the debate leading economist from the heritage foundation. remember japan was eating our lunch? you remember that? japan hasn't gotten in the banking system. i'm not happy for that. how many of you were here at the great university? well, european union is 385 million people. america is not going to compete. give me a break. china, ladies and gentlemen i want china to succeed. i have a better relationship with china most anybody in the country. guess what, they don't have enough water. they're talking about $2 trillion project to turn the rivers around because 35% of their population will not have water to drink. plus the 30% of their land, they got to find 9 million new jobs a year to keep from being a revolt. i want them to do well. it's in our interest for them to do well. but china, for all you think we're behind the eight ball with china, name me one product out of china that changed the world. name me one in the last 50 years. it's america! this isn't chauvinism. this is an opportunity to better relations. we should be helping them build renewable energy foundation. we should be helping them -- by the way she signed agreement with me but he cancer together. there's so much we can do. but it's like, it's me. ladies and gentlemen, we have the strongest military in the world. we have the largest economy in the world and it's not shrinking, it is growing. we have the best research universities in the world. dwight d. eisenhower most under estimated president in the world. they recommended that we invigorate science and technology in america. they said put all this money in the federal government. he said, we'll do that. i want most of the money to go where. to research universities. we have more great research universities in america out of which all this initiative is coming. than the rest of the world combined. that's not hyperbole. that is a fact. they said, every foreign born student who walks across the stage this may with a ph.d. should be handed a seven year green card. [applause] folks. for all of the excesses of wall street, thank god we had dodd-frank. we have the most creative entrepreneurs and the most agile venture capital system in the world. and fact, those who are economic professors, not opinion fact, we have the post productive workers in the world. an american worker objectively is three times product as worker in asia. one ###-###5 and ###-###5 -- what-- what are we talking about? we have energy capacity. epicenter of energy for the 21st century is north america. not saudi arabia. not iraq, not iran not nigeria not venezuela. it's north america. we have real problems but every generation had problems. most considerably more severe than the ones we face. we always overcome because there was until about 15 years ago this notion that there's nothing beyond our capacity. today's atmosphere we act as if everything is beyond our control. one of the things hillary never got to talk about. free college education. give one example, just community college, if we put nine million kids in community college or people up from six because it's now free. that's the estimate. that will increase growth .2 one percent every year. it cost $6 billion. folks when reagan was president we had about $800 million in tax expenditures. only for two reasons. one, social welfare or generate people taking chances in productivity and growth. now there are $1.3 trillion in taxes that are not collected and otherwise should be collected. we just take one of them. i hope some of you know i didn't know what stepped up bases is. it means if you go out and i go out on buy million dollars in stock and i sell it, i got to pay capital gains of $500,000. if i get hit by a truck and my son or daughter inherit it they pay nothing. there's not one single study, not one single model that demonstrates that that promotes growth or social welfare objective. you eliminate it. you know how much it cost a year one tiny thing $17 billion a year not collected. we can pay for all the community colleges for increasing our productiveity .2% a year and still have $11 billion towards the deficit. what are we talking about? where is our courage? i won't take the time because i'm taking too long already. i get very upset about this. if we want to change the way we take advantage of opportunities move public financing and elections. you'll change the whole darn world. [applause]. it's time to stand up. recognize who we are as a nation. understand that we need the world not just by the example of our power but by the power of our examples. without our power the move nation, there's nothing we can't do. i really mean it. i mean it. folks, look, here we are, we're now in a situation where, the last point i want to make is this there's a false debate going on in democratic party now. the debate is, i talk, i don't want to -- i talked to one of your party officials. i asked, how it's going. there's this debate. either we have to demonstrate we're more progressive and forget about those folks out there being left out particularly those middle class folks, or we got to start talking about working people and forget our progressive values. take a backseat to no one. the 36 years rated among the third most liberal senators. i take no backseat. i'm the guy that did the thing with regards to same-sex marriage. i make no apologies. none. the point is, i can't -- out match my progressive record against anybody in american life today. here's the deal though to make a point to democrats running last time in the midwest in particular i literally about four weeks out, i was going up to lorraine, ohio to speak at a uaw plant. i asked the campaign to take a look what i was about to say. i started off with 4000 people there. i'm pretty popular with labor. i got sent to these places. the places where my base is. here's where i started off to make a point to the campaign. i said, you know what, marriage should be based on who you love not their gender. they clapped. i then said, this idea women not getting equal pay is outrageous. they went nuts. you know why, they're not getting paid. the families are being denied. these are not a bunch of racist. i said any man raises his hand to a woman deserves to get the living crap kicked out of him. did it to make a point. i was in what supposed to be those angry white guys who supposed to be racist. by the way a black man named barack obama won the previous two times. on college campuses, i talk about the devastating impact of the lost of a job. i've not had any audience i spoke spoken to say, i got that. why don't you talk about something that interest me. look folks, we have so much to look forward to. there's no inconsistency defending the right to marriage, defining the rights of women control their own bodies and standing up for the air we breathe and water we drink demanding safe working conditions a living wage and sick leave. whether it's the government or politician or polluter or a corporation, you don't get to run rush out on people. everyone is entitled to a chance regardless of their creed gender or sexual orientation. it seems like we're hopelessly divided. i know it seems like we're stuck in the political death match, we can't figure out. we're better than this. i've always believed and we act as one american. black, white, asian, spanish gay and straight. folks, we're like a family in this country. we're like a family that has to come together. we have to come together. folks, when we do that things are going to begin to change. the american people are ready. my grandkids and the dreamer who sits next to him in the classroom, that's one america. that's what we have to become again. let me tell you something if we come together, there's no stopping us. i know this, this is the history of the journey of america. we're in ordinary people doing extraordinary things. i can tell you this the american people have never ever, let their country down when given the chance. not once. give them a chance. folks, remember the core reason why you're a democrat. you have poor abuse of power where there is financial power psychological power physical power. think about what made you a democrat. it's the abuse of power. you got to remember who we are. you all know in your heart. whether i said it well enough or not, you know i'm right. no, you really do. folks, 172,000 people we needed lot of them wondered whether we forgotten how they're being abused by the system. just because they were poorest and the richest, they wondered whether or not we remember. there's decent as anyone one of us are. folks, let's go win it back. god bless you all and may god protect our troops.
