You know but ive lived a life where everyone continues to say michael, cant you just be realistic, right . And a tell people all the time youre talking to the young like man who was raised by a single father next door to a drug house. Definitely do what people told it was realistic my life is not a possibility, right . [applause] being the first ever collected African American to represent Stafford County in 350 years [cheers and applause] thank you. But it wasnt about me. It was about the people and that is why we are here today. Go ahead, go ahead and call for that because its true. [applause] we are in a time where this is not just about making history, right . Amy klobuchar has artie made history being the first woman elected to the u. S. Senate in minnesota. [applause] yes, this is about beating donald trump bashes all were to prove she can do that when she won those 42 42 world district congressional districts in minnesota that donald trump had one in his election. [applause] but this right here is about as being effective because of the us a call pushing things. She is content to show that over and over and over again. Being one of most effective use senators that we have today passing over 100 bills in the u. S. Senate. [applause] now for those of you have followed me when youre up there or done here you know i have been a part of some amazing campaigns. Ive had a chance to be able to inspire hope and change. Ive been would have people who have lead a revolution but right now what were about to do is were going to bring out the yes, senator that i truly know and i truly believe can help bring together this the tent party and unify our nation because its not just about winning. Its about getting things done. So put your hands together, stand on your feet and we welcome our next president of the United States, u. S. Senator amy klobuchar. [cheers and applause] [cheers and applause] [cheers and applause] [cheers and applause] this is unbelievable. Thank you, Northern Virginia. [cheers and applause] thank you so much. Thank you, michael, for your leadership and your incredible work, and im so honored to have your support. It really means a lot. Standing next to michael is my husband john, right here. [applause] if you saw me pause when i was coming up, he said i have to go get on a flight. That i was saying saying where are you going . Hes going to maine and massachusetts so were excited he will be there. So thank you for that. And then i also wanted to recognize our incredible organizers here, emma, sydney, maria and gabrielle. Thank you for your work. [applause] and as i just was coming in saw a few good friends, sharon and connor, leaders of our disability community. There you are, man. [applause] thank you. And then i also wanted to recognize someone that you probably have not met. Cindy who is the system of Lieutenant Colonel vindman. We want to thank her. [cheers and applause] sisterinlaw. [applause] i think we all know of any state, virginia gets this, the respect for our military, the respect for our federal employees, this idea [applause] this idea that people who devote themselves to our country regardless of party. I saw a few republicans on my way in. We are proud to identify there we go. Some of them are being quiet right now. It was my friend john mccain actually, one of the last things when john and i visited him, he showed me some words in this book, which reminds me of Lieutenant Colonel vindman action and the word said this. He was having trouble speaking at the end and it said theres nothing more liberating in life and fighting for a cause larger than yourself. [applause] and that is so much that is so much about what this election is about. Its what you showing up here in the middle of a friday when you could be doing so many other things, how much of this means to me. Because i think you understand that thats what my campaign is about. Its a little different than some of the other people that are running for president. Its one of the reasons that i announced in the middle of a blizzard and went through with it in the middle of a blizzard. It is one of the reasons that i announced on an island in the middle of the mississippi river, because i wanted to make the point that it is time to cross the river of our divide to get you a higher plane in our politics. [applause] and that a one to make the point that when things go wrong, our country, we stand together. We dont divide. [applause] and that point where i announced was actually just about a mile and half from where the 35w bridge collapsed in the middle of a beautiful summer day, and its right near our house. That place means so much to me, not only because of what happened there and the people that we lost, also what people did when it happened. And i think this is a lot about the spirit of this great state, the extraordinary courage of people, ordinary people when things happen. What do they do . What do they do in the job when theyre threatened . What do they do when they have to help someone when they have to come up with a splitsecond decision about what theyre going to do . Thats what happened that day on that bridge. What you saw, and no one knew what it happened, this humongous highway crashing into the river, 55 cars and trucks submerge it what do people do . Offduty firefighter was walking by tethers herself to the side of the river and dies in and out looking for survivors in the cars and trucks. A tasty truck driver who had one second to decide what to do, he couldve ran in the back of the school bus of kids but instead he veers off to what he must know in that second is almost certain death, and burns to death in his cab but saved the kids in the school bus. The school bus that plummets 30 feet down and is hanging on the side of a guard rail, and theres a Camp Counselor on the bus named hernandez. He has one second to decide what is going to do and the doors open up because it looks like hobos will go over and he couldve just went out. Instead he got every single one of those kids off that bus to safety. [applause] that, that is our country. That is our country, that we are a country of shared dreams, that we have each others back. And that what i think brings us together, i hope what brings you to come to see me today is this simple concept that the heart of america is so much bigger than the heart of the guy in the white house right now. [cheers and applause] so much bigger. So much bigger. So much bigger. [applause] so one of the reasons im looking forward to debating donald trump is because our backgrounds are so different. Well, for one thing im going to be able say that midwest is not fly over country to me. I lived there. The people in this country are not poker chips at a bankrupt casino to me. They are my friends and my neighbors, and that you know, while you were given 413 million in the course of your life from your dad this is my Families Trust that my grandpa was in iron ore mine did. He worked 1500 feet underground. He had nine brothers and sisters and wanted to be in the navy like so many great navy members out of the state but he couldnt do that because he had very sick parents. He was the oldest boy and he had to go to work. His parents died. The youngest, hannah, the youngest sister were sent to an orphanage in duluth and he promised that he would go getter. And two years later he borrowed a car, drove to duluth and brought her back. And everyday he would would go down in that cage with this black lunch bucket that my grandma would pack for him. I always thought about it he think about life that secret did he think about picking blueberries that he loved and hunting . I dont know, but he did his job. Job. That was his duty. After a while the minds which it been so dangerous got safer and safer because of unions actually picked the unions that made those mind safer. [applause] and it enabled, it enabled him and my grandma to save money inn a coffee can in the basement to send my dad to a twoyear Community College. And you know you cannot fit 413 million in the coffee can in the basement of the little house. But they did that and then my dad got to the twoyear Community College degree and then he cut it for your degree at the university of minnesota, and then he went on to become a journalist and he traveled the world and he wrote about all kinds of stuff including politics but for a long time one of his main jobs was he covered the Minnesota Vikings. I just try to show you that im resilient, okay . [laughing] and actually once wrote a book in the early 80s that is sadly still relevant today. It was called will the Minnesota Vikings ever win the super bowl . [laughing] so then my mom grew up in milwaukee which is going to be the site of our national convention. She was the kid of immigrants. They didnt have money. She wanted to be a a teacher. She moved to minnesota and she taught secondgrade until she was 70 years old. [applause] and i still talk to people that tell me she was she was their favorite teacher. So i stand before you today as the granddaughter of an iron ore miner come as a daughter of a teacher and a newspaper man come as the first woman elected to the u. S. Senate from the state of minnesota, and a candidate for president of United States. [cheers and applause] and that, friends, is because we live in a country of shared dreams, but no matter where you come from or who you know or the color of your skin or how much money you have or where you worship or who you love, that you can make it in the United States of america. And that family trust [applause] when people give you opportunity, when they give you like my grandpa did for my dad who did that for me and my mom, when the did that with its a Family Member or grandparent, whether it is someone at work, whether it is a teacher that gave it to you, i figure you o not go into the world with a sense of entitlement. You go into the world with a sense of obligation, an obligation an obligation to lift people up instead of shutting them down. An obligation to bring people with you instead of hoarding it for yourself. An obligation to lead with the decency, which gets me [applause] gets me to the topic at hand. There are a lot of people watching those debates, okay. Those debates have gotten pretty wild. That last debate, just a you know, i think that the president went after mayor bloomberg for being 54. Im the only one that is actually 54. That is on that stage. I have this little step at a stand on so you can see me, okay . And that debate, and that that last debate the Vice President and tom steyer were going at it about something, and tom steyer was getting closer and closer as they were arguing. If you saw this picture come into my space, and i couldnt back way because i wouldve fallen off my step. [laughing] and so then i just stuck there and is motioning and usually close to like than the kind of thought, you know what, hes got really deep pockets of something goes wrong, ill be in pretty good shape myself i guess if i plunge off that stage. [laughing] [applause] by think one of the things i always think about is there are people watching those debates who stayed home in 2016, right . Theres people watching those debates who stayed home in 2016 but then by the way they voted, boy did they vote bigtime in the state of virginia in 2018 and in 2020. [applause] they are watching as debate or maybe in 2016 some of the voters for trump, some of the voted for someone else in the country got what to do. Believe it or not they dont agree with everything that is said on the debate stage. I dont agree with everything that is that on the debate stage, but for them that our economic issues. This present has made all kinds of promises, promises to Rural America and rural virginia, right, that he is going to do all the stuff for them. Whats happened . Has he done anything about world healthcare . No. Real education . Rural broadband . Its still easier to get highspeed access in the country of iceland with all their volcanoes that it is in world virginia. That is a true thing. He has made promises about Prescription Drug prices. He went on fox news and said he would bring prices down so low it would make your head spin here well, our heads are spending but because you are so high. He made promises about education, all kinds of things. It is an economic check for many people, but it is more than that and that is the key to this. It is also a decency check. It is this [applause] it is this idea that back not that long ago i know my parents would turn on the tv when a president was speaking, even if they didnt vote for the president because they thought it was their obligation as a citizen to watch that, to have the kids watch it. Now you turn this present on at one of his rallies and catwalks in the room, you have to mute the volume because they are afraid of what is going to say. There are a lot of people who know that. I think about this guy in minnesota who was a cattle rancher and he took me on a tour of his ranch on this atv and we were dodging these big house and i thought this is not how i want to die. We went inside and everyone had left and he said we voted for trump. And i said what do you mean . Ranchers, your family . He said no, i did but it dont like to talk about myself so i say we pick eddie said and we did it because where matt about healthcare. And then he said, we saw him stand in front of that wall pick i said no, the wall really isnt built. He said no, no, no. The day after the inauguration, the cia wall. And this guy remembers with our president stood in front of that sacred wall that is covered in the stars of the anonymous cia agents, many of them from the state or lived in the state, that lost their lives in the line of duty. And our president had the gall to give a partisan speech about the size of his crowd in front of that wall here in this guy remembers that. Then he said the boy scout jamboree. These or maybe nothing but he remembers when trump gave a highly partisan speech to a group of boy scout we then had a discussion about my husband had been a boy scout, and i noted that his family has six boys and five of the six became eagle scouts. But i never like to say which one didnt make it because i dont want to embarrass my husband. [laughing] hes gone now. He went to maine. Hes gone him hes gone. Hes not here. [laughing] that was that guy, or the voter in northern New Hampshire who was in a long line of people and now has stickers, im a Climate Change voter, im reproductive rights voter, on the Supreme Court vote up or i sent you dont have a sticker. He had a brown and he said that because i was a trump voter and they dont have stickers here for us. And these are my neighbors and they dont know yet. So dont say anything, but i am not doing it again. [cheers and applause] so i want us to remember that. That is [applause] that is the decency check. The patriotism check, i see veterans right out of there. Thank you for your service. [applause] the patriotism check. The patriotism check is about a president that stands next to Vladimir Putin at an international conference, the g20, and when he is asked about interference in our election by a reporter, our president turns to that ruthless dictator and makes a joke about it. Think about it. Hundreds of thousands of americans, thousands of virginians have lost their lives on the battlefield standing up for democracy, for our democracy, for democracies abroad. Thats what world war ii was about. Four legros at the height of the Civil Rights Movement in that church in alabama, they lost their lives, innocence, in a sense because they were trying to be part of that democracy and of the people were trying to show them out of it. The best moment in the worst moment in our countrys history is about democracy and our rights and our freedoms and is willing to stand up for them and who is not and this president makes the joke about it. So i dont want us to shut out those voters. I want us to bring them with us in addition to our fired up, our [applause] our fired up Democratic Base. And i have, i have the press play. The government of kansas ran with fired up Democratic Base and she brought a whole lot of people with us. What just happened down in louisiana . Where we reelected the democratic governor. In kentucky just a few months ago where Mitch Mcconnell now has a democratic governor. [applause]. [laughter] in any case, what we ended up doing because of my friend i believe Mister Lincoln and mark breyer who had their kids in the Northern Virginia schoolin arlington, to be specific , we ended up renting kristin and roslyn and rented a house and she attended arlington school. She graduated from washington and lee. And we ended up, we came to church all the time. We came here for breakfast, we went to that garden store. We went to the pottery place, i still have the paint youre all i know, really cool. But i was able to see because of the change and the investment in the schools, that Beautiful School at washington and lee, what . Okay, good, the new name thank you. I got it. Justice . [inaudible] one person washington liberty , thankyou. And i was able to see what that meant with a school that had i think over 50 percent free and reduced lunch, something in those numbers and was able to see investment in Northern Virginia in school like that and what a difference it made in those kids lives and how proud they were about school and all the activities so i just want to say thank you for the politics, for what youve done elect people. Thank you from my heart but on behalf of so many families in this state so lets get back to what we are talking about with thisdecency check , patriotism check. The other thing i think thats important here is we have an optimistic economic agenda for the people of this country. And that means, that means optimistic economic agenda means things like reducing healthcare and i think we have a clear choice right now for the top of the ticket. I am someone who believeswe should build on the Affordable Care act, not blow it up. [applause] we already have a president thats trying to blow it up in the white house and kick people off their insurance for preexisting conditions despite all the work that we did, that hard work to build a coalition to protect thoseprotections. Ill never forget being in a small town parade and a woman with her toddler in the stroller saysthis is my son. He has down syndrome. I will do anything to fight for his healthcare and then he saidthis is what a preexisting condition looks like. She knew those words and they dont come off the tip of your tongue. She knew those words because we worked hard and we built around that and we brought in the disability community, brought in the Senior Community and we made a case. Thats what i dont want to tear down and i think we need to make things better i would do it when a nonprofit public option to bring down the premiums. I would do it , i would do it with building on it with longterm care, taking on an elephant that doesnt even fit in this room. To make it easier for people to stay in their own home and build more affordable housing. For people in this community. I would do it by taking on without the stigma addiction and Mental Health. For me, this is personal, my dad struggled with alcoholism by the time john and i got married he had three dwis. At that point the judge says taylor treatment and he chose treatment. And in his words, he was pursued by grace because of his faith and his family and that treatment. He is now 91. Hes in assisted living. His aa group will visit in there and in his words, its our get a drink around here anyway. So i think, i think that everyone should have that right to be pursued by grace you and theres going to be a ton of money thats going to come in from those opioid lawsuits. I think having a president that understand how you do that and where that money should go with treatment and making sure Mental Health is not left behind when we look at hospital beds and we look at counselors in school and the like, thats going to make a difference. Having enough workers and virginia knows this well, who work in the area where our economy needs them so what does that mean i know theres this Green College for all Bumper Sticker thing but i think theres a better way and the bigger way to look at it. That is where are our economy and how do we fit our Education System back with our economy. This is what i think, we are going to have over 1 million openings for Home Healthcare workers if im going to use our taxpayer money, we should use it to make sure people are taking those jobs. That means things like using part of the trump tax cuts for the wealthiest and use them to make sure we have childcare for people in this country so they can takethose jobs. It means making sure we have a wage that they can live on if they take those jobs. It means we are going to have , we are going to have over 100,000 openings for nursing assistants in our nation that we dont know how we are going to fill. Those are 1and 2 year degrees. Going to have 70,000 openings forelectrician. We are not want to have a shortage of marketing degrees. We are going to have a shortage of plumbers. I got a little brief from people at Sports Marketing degrees because isaid this, i have nothing against Sports Marketing. As you know thats why im here, my dad was covering sports but i just think we need to look smartly at how we do this so if you look at it that way about the need in our economy you quickly get to these conclusions. One, investments that kind in preschool and k12. Like hes got in the state of virginia. Two, those one and two years degrees with perhaps the people that get them and not being the beginning of completing a fouryear degree. Making those free or the other half,that gives them the education they need for the job. Next, for college, what i favor isdoubling the pell grant. The money that goes to the people that need from 6000 to 12,000. Doubling the income level of 50,000 200,000. Thats where you get the money. I would pay for it by bringing the Capital Gains tax closer to the personal income tax rates, that brings in Something Like 500 billion right there. And making it easier to pay that loans. If multimillionaires can pay back their yachts and refinancethem, students should be able to refinance their studentloans. And this is the , for the state of virginia where we have so many people who sue public service, making tenure 10 year loan payment back Program Actually work area and have it phasedin. I would actually expanded to include these in demand occupations. Theres a list of them the only way you make this work, i have a plan , hundred 37 things i can do in the first hundred days jumpstart our democracy, bill and by the way, they are all legal. And i can do them. I can do them with out congress but they are legal. And the first thing i would do in the first 100 seconds to make all this work is fire betsy divorce. [applause] so other challenges that you face here in virginia. Investment in infrastructure. I have a whole plan thats made and trump completely blew it when he did that tax bill without also doing infrastructure andyou know how important that is in Northern Virginia. Why not change, thing that is affecting your state in a big, big way and its affecting all over the country whetherits the rising sea level, the effect that has in mortal , whether its the fires we seen in california, whether the flooding in the middle of the country and making the case from the middle of the country, its going to be really important because that is where we havent had the votes i worked on that first Climate Change legislation as a member of the Environmental Committee and you know who was a leader on the . John warner john was willing to cross the aisle to work on that bill. So we were not able to pass that bill in the senate, that was a moment but we have this other opportunity we cannot let go again and that is everything fromgetting back into the international Climate Change agreements on day one today to , bringing back the clean power rule. A3, the gas mileagestandard. They 4, five and six introducing sleeping legislation on energy efficiency, putting a price on carbon making sure the dividends go back to the people that need it with incentives in the areas of the country that are going to see changes in jobs and on day seven we will rest. We wont rest area but anyway, thats we can do this and has any area of the country in virginia where you have invented so many things and understand the value of technology, we simply have to put these incentives in place and do it in a way that works for everyone and i know that we can get this done. So these are these challenges but to meet any of them, weve got to win. We have to win. And we just cannot efile a victory at four in the morning. I know, that will be good but we cannot do that because our rule of law cannot tolerate a president that thinks he is about it. Our democracy our democracy cannot tolerate another 4 more years of a Political Party and the president thinks they can bulldoze through it and our American Dream cannot tolerate 4 more years of a president who thinks we can choose wholives it. That is our challenge that is our challenge. And by the way, for a state that takes responsibility for thingsway, way back in our countrys history , that understands the value of that history and the value of actually taking responsibility in your leaders, you get that in such a big way. We cannot tolerate a president that doesnt take any responsibility. He blames everyone for everything. He blames barack obama, he blames the general said that he commands. He blames the head of the Federal Reserve that he appointed. He blames the city of baltimore or my personal favorite, he blamed the entire kingdom of denmark. Who does that mark he does that. He does. I started saying this in New Hampshire and hope a group of danes would follow me around with flags and we must continue to be a beacon of democracy for theworld. That is going to mean , that is going to mean, that means in a state that so values, i think of the great work of my good friend mark warner who has from the very beginning and calling it out on the intelligence side , that means, that means actually renegotiating ourselves back into international agreements. We got the new start treaty with russia that point, right away in a new president s term. Renegotiating our self back into the iranian agreements when this president has made us so much less safe. It means standing up and actually, when youre going to make threats, theres that old saying in foreign policy, keep your promises and keep your threats. This president does neither. As i noted in the debate he goes off and thinks he can have a hastily called summit with kim jongil and things with no deliverable and no allies on our side, hes going to produce something. Course hedoesnt, theres no launching missiles. So the office, i have this council on Foreign Relations you should watch about the five cars , the one personwho saw it. That is, that is renewing our leadership around the world. That is preparing our alliances and instead of standing with tyrants. To stand with our allies. Renegotiating ourselves back into the international agreements. It is about responding appropriately to threats around the world instead of the to your bathroom, in your bathrobe at 4 am and it means reasserting American Values can just some one so far, returning to sanity. In our foreign policy. So. [applause] i know im in virginia when people are cheering this much or foreign policy. Yes. Okay. So to do this as i said, we need to win big and you know icome with the receipts. What does this mean . I have one every race, every place, every time. I am the only one thats one every race all the way back to fourth grade. When my slogan that i sent the man in was all the way with a nikkei. Not going to use that anymore. I have one in those, i know well, it could be viral. I guess i need that area because if you ask saying in the debates and actually answer thequestions, then , never mind. So what im saying here is this. Is that i have one in those rural districts that are soapy, not just in the National Front in the legislative in virginia and one in the suburban districts. I have one every single time including iran against a congressman in his district and i do it by not selling out on our values. I do it by meeting with people, listen to them and then getting things done and respecting the fact that yes, we are going to have major disagreements and you have to stand your ground, especially in the world of richmond,. You also have to work with people that may have different beliefs and you. And you have to find Common Ground because courage right now is no longer just standing in the corner of the boxing ring, pushing out gaps, pushing out rhetoric and speeches, rate is whether or not youre willing to stand next to someone you dont agree with or the betterment of this country. That is courage. That is courage. [applause] and that is why when we were asked on the debate stage about the coronavirus which im sure there will be a lot of Research Going on in this, and there will be a lot of work and this is a serious matter as i said three days ago when i said the president should address the nation, that this shouldnt be politicized and when i said he should come out with an exact amount of money that needs right now which he still has it by responsibility and not done that area when i said that we shouldnt have your back as he did some of the work that was doing across the world on pandemics and the like, that we should be planning ahead but what i didnt say is that still, were going to have to do this as a team area in our country. We are so instead of giving out my own website, any clover chart. Com, i gave out the cdc website. On national tv because like Northern Virginia, i believe in science. And i dont think. [applause]. And i dont think we should be sweltering people or stopping them from putting out the science and the facts and the truth so we can make the decision about how were going to handle this so the stakes are high. My argument is this. I have one in these 691 and by simply telling the truth and looking people in my bringing them with me thats, i told them if you are tired of the extremes in our politics, i said this now. Youre tired of the noise in the nonsense, you have a home with me and as i sat through that impeachmenthearing , until late at night, not the result that i wanted but i saw the incredible courage of my friend doug jones mitt romney and how they voted. And as i sat there, as i sat there and i thought, everyones talking about the Founding Fathers, i felt like i was in the middle of virginia and theyre talking about the Founding Fathers and looking at my colleagues and after a while that my blearyeyed starting to look like Founding Fathers but i thought about all of this incredible courage of so many of our Founding Fathers of our president. And i thought of the story of Franklin Delano roosevelt was so beloved because he got up through one of the worst times in our countrys history and when he died his body in a train and it took the train from georgia to washington dc and people spontaneously lined thetracks including a guy who was coming with his hat in his hand and a reporter saidsir, do you mind me asking did you know the president . The guy says no , i didnt know the president the president knew me. He knew me. [applause] that, in this state thatunderstands history, that is whats missing right now. The sky in the white house, he doesnt have that empathy. He cannot put himself in the shoes of the people in this country because he was always thinking about himself so i can promise you this, if you or someone in your family is figuring out how to stretch your paycheck to pay for your mortgage for your rent for the rent for someone in your family i know you and i will fight for you. If youre trying to figure out how to pay for the longterm care for your parents , the child care or college for your kids, i know you and i will fight for you. If you cannot figure out should i fill the Prescription Drug or insulin or should i fill the refrigerator or someone else for a friend, i know you and i will fight for you. That is what a president should do. Be able to have that sense of empathy and then take that empathy and put it into leadership, to unite our nation. I am not going to be able to out divide the divider in chief but i promise you this , i will be there in a big way. I will have. [applause] i will have the toughness and the nimbleness as you see on the debate stage to take him on, but mostly i will restore the sacred trust to the president people of this country. Because i dont want to be the president for half of america, i want to be the president for all of america. Have you virginia. I need your votes. You. [music].
