00:00:01SHUTTING DOWN OR HOSPITALS --
00:00:07OUR HOSPITALS.
00:00:14WHEN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS AND OUR
00:00:15NEIGHBORS ARE [INDISCERNIBLE]
00:00:21IT IS TOM TIFFANY WHO SHOWS UP IN SUPPORT.
00:00:28WHILE HE'S DOING THAT, WE ARE FIGHTING FOR HOPE.
00:00:34WE ARE FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM TO
00:00:38SHOW COMPASSION TO ONE ANOTHER, TO SHOW CARE FOR THE PEOPLE
00:00:41AROUND US.
00:00:44ARE COMPASSION IS NOT [ INDISCERNIBLE]
00:00:55>> FOLLOWING THE RESULTS OF PRIMARY ELECTIONS IN SOUTH CAROLINA, WISCONSIN, MINNESOTA, ALABAMA, CONNECTICUT, AND
00:00:57VERMONT, SEVERAL CANDIDATES IN THESE RACES DELIVERED THEIR VICTORY AND CONCESSION SPEECHES.
00:01:04>> THE ECONOMIC GAINS THAT ARE
00:01:08MAKING A FEW AMERICANS WEALTHY BEYOND ALL IMAGINING OUR LEAVING
00:01:12TOO MANY AMERICANS OUT.
00:01:14THE COST OF EVERYTHING, FROM
00:01:18HEALTH CARE TO HOUSING TO ELECTRICITY, I MEAN, THE NUMBERS
00:01:22DO NOT JUST ADD UP FOR MOST PEOPLE.
00:01:25-- JUST DON'T ADD UP FOR MOST PEOPLE. ICE IS OPERATING WITH A LEVEL OF
00:01:29CRUELTY AND LAWLESSNESS THAT BETRAYS OUR BASIC HUMANITY. AND DONALD TRUMP HAS TAKEN A WRECKING BALL TO OUR ALLIANCES, MADE THE WORLD MORE DANGEROUS,
00:01:33AND HE'S ENGAGED IN A LEVEL OF CORRUPTION THAT GOES BEYOND OUR FOUNDERS' WORST FEARS AND RESEMBLES WHAT I WITNESSED WHEN
00:01:37I SERVED ON THE ANTI-CORRUPTION
00:01:37TASK FORCE IN AFGHANISTAN.
00:01:48AND DESPITE ALL OF THAT, I AM HOPEFUL. AND NOT BECAUSE WE WON TODAY, BUT BECAUSE OF WHAT I HEARD ALL ACROSS THIS DISTRICT ALL YEAR,
00:01:51BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE ARE JUST TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING TO LIVE GOOD LIVES, DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THEIR KIDS AND FOR
00:01:55THEIR COMMUNITIES, BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE CARE ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE AND AREN'T WILLING TO ACCEPT AN AMERICA OF THE FEW, BY THE FEW,
00:01:58FOR THE FEW.
00:02:12BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE IN THIS DISTRICT AND I BELIEVE AROUND
00:02:16THIS COUNTRY ARE NOT WILLING TO GIVE UP ON THE IDEA THAT AMERICA MUST BE A FORCE FOR HUMAN LIBERTY AND DIGNITY IN THIS
00:02:19WORLD.
00:02:34AND BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE STILL WILLING TO WORK FOR THOSE
00:02:36THINGS.
00:02:44ON THIS CAMPAIGN, I'VE SEEN OUR TEAM OF YOUNG DEMOCRATS GET BIGGER AND BIGGER AND MORE AND
00:02:47MORE CONFIDENT. THEY'VE BEEN THIS CAMPAIGN'S NOT
00:02:50SO SECRET WEAPON. AND THEY'VE GIVEN ME THE MOST
00:02:52HOPE OF ALL. FROM THE START, THIS CAMPAIGN
00:02:56WAS ABOUT SOMETHING VERY SIMPLE.
00:03:01THAT IF WE ARE GOING TO FIX THIS MESS THAT WE'RE IN, WE NEED TO
00:03:04BUILD A DEMOCRATIC PARTY THAT'S BRINGING A WHOLE NEW ENERGY TO
00:03:06THIS FIGHT.
00:03:13A DEMOCRATIC PARTY THAT IS COURAGEOUS AND BOLD AND CLEAR
00:03:14ABOUT WHAT WE ARE FIGHTING FORA
00:03:21YEAH, WE NEED TO STOP THE DAMAGE THAT DONALD TRUMP IS DOING AND DEFEAT THE MAGA MOVEMENT.
00:03:25BUT NOT JUST THAT.
00:03:36WE'RE DOING THIS WORK SO WE CAN BUILD AN AMERICA THAT REMEMBERS THAT WE CAN DO BIG THINGS, THAT WE CAN BE A COUNTRY WHERE
00:03:39HEALTHCARE DOESN'T BANKRUPT YOU. WHERE YOU CAN AFFORD A PLACE TO
00:03:42LIVE. AND WHERE CHILDCARE DOESN'T COST
00:03:44MORE THAN A GOOD JOB PAYS.
00:03:51THAT WE CAN BUILD AN AMERICA WHERE WE'RE GETTING OUR
00:03:53ELECTRICITY FROM RENEWABLE SOURCES THAT COST LESS AND LEAVE
00:03:56OUR KIDS A BETTER WORLD. WHERE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE IS THE
00:04:00ENVY OF THE WORLD AND NOT AN
00:04:01EMBARRASSMENT.
00:04:05THAT WE CAN GET IT RIGHT WITH AI, PROTECTING OUR KIDS,
00:04:09GUARDING AGAINST THE RISKS, REFUSING TO ACCEPT THE FUTURE
00:04:13WITH FEWER JOBS AND INVESTING IN GOOD JOBS FOR PEOPLE DOING
00:04:16THINGS FOR PEOPLE.
00:04:20WE ARE CAPABLE OF DOING BIG
00:04:20THINGS.
00:04:26AND WE'RE CAPABLE OF MAKING THE BIG CHANGES THAT WILL HELP US DO THOSE THINGS LIKE OVERTURNING CITIZENS UNITED AND GETTING
00:04:29CORPORATE PAC MONEY OUT OF OUR
00:04:30POLITICS.
00:04:39WE CAN DO THOSE THINGS. WE HAVE THE TOOLS TO FIX WHAT'S
00:04:43BROKEN.
00:04:47AND I STILL BELIEVE THAT PRESIDENT THAT I WAS SO PROUD TO
00:04:50SERVE UNDER WHO SAID YES WE CAN.
00:04:57BUT WE CAN ONLY DO THOSE THINGS WHEN WE BUILD A PARTY THAT IS
00:05:00STRONG ENOUGH TO DO IT.
00:05:06YET THIS CAMPAIGN IS JUST ONE
00:05:06CAMPAIGN IN ONE DISTRICT.
00:05:11BUT I HOPE THAT THIS CAMPAIGN HELPS TO SEND A MESSAGE THAT IF LEADERS IN OUR PARTY DON'T
00:05:15RECOGNIZE THAT WE NEED TO MAKE CHANGES, THEN THE CHANGES ARE
00:05:18GOING TO COME FROM THE GROUND
00:05:19UP.
00:05:24AND THAT'S A MESSAGE OUR PARTY
00:05:25NEEDS TO HEAR.
00:05:29THERE ARE, THERE ARE SO MANY
00:05:30PEOPLE TO THANK.
00:05:36BUT I WANT TO START BY THANKING
00:05:41MY FAMILY. MY MOM AND DAD, WHO WORKED SO
00:05:45HARD TO GIVE ME OPPORTUNITIES THAT THEY COULD NEVER HAVE IMAGINED. AND ANYTHING GOOD IN ME COMES
00:05:48FROM THEM.
00:05:57LUNA, TEO, AND ROMY, WHO HAVE SHARED ME WITH THIS WORK FOR THEIR ENTIRE LIVES, I LOVE YOU
00:05:59SO MUCH.
00:06:07SARAH, I'M GRATEFUL FOR HALF A LIFETIME OF FRIENDSHIP AND
00:06:09PARTNERSHIP.
00:06:16AND OUR TEAM. UH, FIRST, OUR CAMPAIGN MANAGER,
00:06:18AKASH KHAZA.
00:06:38THAT CHEER TELLS YOU WHAT KIND OF A LEADER HE IS. PEOPLE KEEP TELLING ME WE RAN A GREAT CAMPAIGN.
00:06:42HE RAN A GREAT CAMPAIGN.
00:06:54TO OUR ENTIRE CAMPAIGN TEAM, EVERY SINGLE MEMBER OF OUR TEAM, TO OUR SUPPORTERS IN LABOR, TO
00:06:58THE FIREFIGHTERS, TO THE
00:07:03CARPENTERS, TO ASK ME 1716.
00:07:08TO EVERY VOLUNTEER WHO KNOCKED ON A DOOR, MADE A PHONE CALL, STUFFED AN ENVELOPE, YOU BUILT
00:07:10THIS CAMPAIGN.
00:07:14AND TO OUR INTERNS AT ALL HOURS.
00:07:21AT ALL HOURS, WE HAD A CAMPAIGN HEADQUARTERS PACKED WALL TO WALL WITH YOUNG PEOPLE, MOST OF WHOM HAD NEVER BEEN AROUND A CAMPAIGN
00:07:25BEFORE.
00:07:28AND TO THEM I WANT TO SAY I HOPE YOU SEE WHAT YOU HAVE THE POWER
00:07:32TO DO IN THIS DEMOCRACY THAT IS STILL A DEMOCRACY SO LONG AS WE
00:07:35WORK TO KEEP IT.
00:07:42TO THE PEOPLE OF THIS DISTRICT,
00:07:45THE PEOPLE WHO TALKED TO US AT THEIR FRONT DOORS, WHO TOLD US
00:07:49WHAT KEEPS THEM UP AT NIGHT, WHO TRUSTED US WITH THEIR VOTES, THANK YOU.
00:07:53AND WHETHER YOU VOTED FOR ME OR
00:07:55NOT, WHETHER YOU'RE A DEMOCRAT
00:07:59OR NOT, MY COMMITMENT TO ALL OF
00:08:02YOU IS THIS, WE WILL DO THIS
00:08:05WORK TOGETHER. WITH A WILLINGNESS TO CHALLENGE
00:08:09OLD ASSUMPTIONS, TO TAKE ON POWERFUL INTERESTS, AND TO COMMUNICATE CLEARLY ENOUGH THAT
00:08:12AMERICANS CAN ACTUALLY SEE AND FEEL THAT WE'RE FIGHTING FOR THE THINGS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN
00:08:17THEIR LIVES.
00:08:21SO, SO MANY AMERICANS HAVE GIVEN
00:08:22UP ON OUR POLITICS.
00:08:29AND THE WAY WE TURN THAT AROUND IS BY BUILDING A MOVEMENT OUTSIDE THE WALLS OF THE CAPITOL THAT IS STRONG ENOUGH TO SHIFT
00:08:32THE POLITICAL TIDE.
00:08:39A MOVEMENT, A MOVEMENT THAT RECOGNIZES WHEN THE PROBLEMS ARE
00:08:43BIG, SOLUTIONS CAN'T BE SMALL. A MOVEMENT COMMITTED TO THE IDEA THAT WE STILL HAVE THE ABILITY
00:08:46TO DO BIG THINGS FOR THE COMMON GOOD AND THAT WE DON'T HAVE TIME
00:08:49TO WAIT, THAT WE REFUSE TO WAIT.
00:08:53BECAUSE THERE'S TOO MUCH AT STAKE.
00:08:56THAT IS THE HEART OF THIS CAMPAIGN, AND IT WILL GUIDE THE
00:08:59WORK EVERY SINGLE DAY AHEAD. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT. THANK YOU FOR BELIEVING IN THIS
00:09:03CAMPAIGN.
00:09:07WE STILL GOT A LOT OF WORK TO DO, BUT FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY
00:09:09HEART, THANK YOU.
