The massive levels of income and wealth inequality in this country. What i mean by democratic socialism is creating a government that works for everybody. Not controlled either legislatively or politically by a handful of very wealthy people. Senator sanders speech comes as President Trump hosts his polish counterpart at the white house. The two leaders will hold a News Conference in a couple of minutes from the rose garden. Much more on that in just a moment. But lets go straight to senator sanders about to speak there. Thank you very much for being here. And let me begin by saying my friends we are in the midst of a defining and Pivotal Moment for our country and the planet. And with so many crises converging upon us simultaneously, it is easy for us to become overwhelmed or depressed or even to throw up our hands in resignation. But my message to you today is that if there was ever a moment in the history of our country where despair was not an option, this is that time. [ applause
