(bell tolls)
- Waaaaaaaaaaake up!
(whistling, cheering)
- The United States of America
is the most powerful nation in the world.
Yet, the way in which we treat many of our citizens
is a shameful display of our power.
- For hundreds of years,
African- Americans and their allies
stood up and fought back against racism,
segregation and bigotry. (cheering)
- We have been woke from the dream,
the beautiful dream
of having our first black president,
(clapping)
only to find ourselves entering into a new era
of mass incarceration and police brutality
that we call the new Jim Crow.
- People like Michael Brown,
Sandra Bland,
and my father, Eric Garner,
and the list goes on and on.
- This campaign is listening
to our brothers and sisters
in the Latino community.
- And the money that's made
from the raped economy
is paying for their political campaigns.
And they say they're gonna fix things?
Wake up, America.
How are they going to fix a broken system
when they are profiting from a broken system?
(cheering)
- What this campaign is about
is telling Wall Street and the billionaire class
they can not, they will not have it all.
We want a government
that represents all of us,
not wealthy campaign contributors. (cheering)
- Since the recession of 2008, we have seen
the erosion of the black middle class get worse.
We've not just lost our jobs, but we've lost the homes
that we worked so hard to build.
So whether it's the fight for $15 an hour,
or for affordable housing,
the policies that the next president enacts
will either set us on a course towards poverty
or prosperity! (applause)
- People should not have to work two or three jobs
just to get by, and that after all of that,
58% of all low-income
goes to the top 1%.
That's wrong. (cheering)
- We live in the greatest country in the world.
And yet, so many of our citizens
can't get an education.
And if they do, they end up paying their student loans
for the rest of their lives.
Education is a right, not a privilege.
- Instead of schools, they build prisons for profits
and fill them to the brim with more people
than any other society in history.
We must disrupt the school-to-prison pipeline,
reform our criminal justice system.
The time is now. (cheering)
- I'm from Scotland, right?
It's not a particularly rich country,
it's not nearly as wealthy as the United States
of America, for example.
Yet, everyone has access to free education
and health care.
Why don't we have that in America? Hmm?
- We should not be punishing people
for getting an education.
That instead of giving tax breaks to billionaires,
or fighting wars,
we should not be fighting,
we gotta be investing in housing and education,
and health care. (cheering)
- This election is not a popularity contest.
It's not about who you like,
or who you wanna go have a beer with.
It's about our future.
It's about our children.
- What this campaign is about
is creating a political revolution.
(cheering)
- From Strong Island to Staten Island,
wings of the Boogie Down became (mumbles).
We need you New Yorkers.
Don't be just like in this online, you gotta get inline.
It's time to vote, show up, represent.
- At this crucial moment in American history,
we need my brother, Bernie,
because he's a man of integrity,
honesty, dignity and courage.
And he's got a vision and focuses on everyday people.
- Real change takes place
when millions of people look around them,
and they say, "You know what?
"The status quo is unacceptable."
- "We the people of the United States,
"in order to form a more perfect union,
- "establish justice, insure domestic tranquility,
"provide for the common defense,
- "promote the general welfare,
"and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves
"and our posterity,
- "do ordain and establish this constitution
"for the United States of America."
- Hey, Bernie from Brooklyn!
Talk to the people.
- To paraphrase Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg,
this is a campaign "of the people,
(crowd joins in) "by the people,
(crowd joins in) "and for the people."
- [Crowd] Bernie Sanders! (tapping, clapping)
Bernie Sanders! (tapping, clapping)
I'm Bernie Sanders and I approve this message.
