Justed new leadership not here but around the world because the United States is not leading. It is great to be with you. This is my 20th trip. Any overtime,ear my 23rd trip. Chris, my state director, and my whole team was worried because i was on the bill mars show friday night. Which was a last minute thing. And chris was like, you know youre speaking at 11 00 in manchester . Theres a 955 american flight to boston. And if you can meet me at the boston airport at 730 near port ill make it to the speech. I had a good nights sleep last night. [laughter] i will not be back for a few weeks because my oldest daughter is getting married in two weeks. [applause] yes very excited about that. I have a fourth daughters. April and i are very blessed. This is my first wedding. The other day the program for the wedding came around and they would have the timing of all the stuff. Then there was a point in the program where i give a toast about my daughter. And i say, you know this is funny because now i speak for living and i get speeches for letting but this is a hard one. As i head back to maryland tonight, im going to start thinking about all the things i want to say about my daughter who i love so much. So i will not be back for a few weeks. Trip 24 will be in a couple weeks. It is great to be with you. I talked about a couple things yesterday. I think we have to broaden the discussion this primary. The point i was trying make yesterday is how everything is actually interconnected. I really think it is. And i think we have to think about the next president s as someone who fundamentally understands that. Yesterday, a few weeks ago a watch in horror as the amazon burned. Im sure Climate Change is a very important issue for everyone here in this room. I know it is for New Hampshire. But we watched in horror as it burned. When you relay realize why this happened, you understand what is actually really going on in the world. It is a bunch of farmers in brazil, set fires 2d forest the amazon. The reason they did this is because they wanted to plant soybeans. And why did they want to plan soybeans . Well, because the biggest buyer of soybeans in the world is china. They used to bite most of their soybeans from the United States of america. They used to purchase most of their soybeans from the United States america. They do not do that anymore. Why . Because we are in a totally stupid to trade war. Which, by the way is killing american farmers. Every acre of farmland in this country is worth less today than it was when the president was inaugurated. And we can win a euro america on that point. And we have to be Rural America on that point. And we have to be making it. It also shows how trade policy is so interconnected to climate policy. As a local community, we should be using every acre of land as efficiently as possible. And if we are engaged in destabilizing trade wars, it results in a lot of land and converted into farmland. We watched last week what happened with brexit. Which, lets face it, that was entirely based on a progressed a protectionist instinct. A dangerous protectionist instinct. And the Prime Minister and parliament wrestled with how to handle it. You know this will be good for . This is good for proc trump and putin. This will destabilize the european union. Mr. Delaney so it is all interconnected. This notion of isolationism. We are watching how this president is engaging in a war on children, on immigrant children. Children. Separating them from their parents. Threatening to deport them even if they are receiving critical medical care. We are better than this. All of us are better than this. He has doneh how nothing to deal with the huge number of our citizens left behind because of globalization and technological invasion, forces that have been incredibly powerful. But forces that also left 40 of our country not able to afford the basic necessities. Literally, 40 of the murky people cannot afford their rent, their food, or their utilities. All of this is interconnected. The fires in the amazon with trade policy. What is going on in europe with the trump putin alliance. That we have protectionist interest thinks he is stoking in our country instincts that are causing us to build not only physical walls but economic walls. And the fact that so many citizens have been left behind. Which is why believe we need new leadership. And we need a leader who wants to lead a modern Democratic Party. Someone who understands the world is in fact interconnected and interdependent. And we do not need a United States of america that is retreating from the world stage rate we need a United States of america that is leading on the world stage. On all of the important issues. Weather is Climate Change, whether it is global migration challenges, whether it is human rights violations, whether Security Issues and trade. Ismps form of isolationism the wrong answer to every single question. At democrats cannot adopt democratic form of isolationism. We have to have a compelling vision for the world that has the u. S. Leadership at the center of it. We need a president who understands we have an enormous opportunity to build a Better Future if we invest. I believe we are and at the threshold of extraordinary breakthroughs. In Life Sciences and energy research. We can in fact cure cancer. We can, in fact, cure alzheimers. We can in fact, develop new technologies whether they be battery technologies, transmission technologies, direct air capture technologies, our will not only save country, but save the planet. But you actually have to invest in you need to eradicate increases in basic research. You need a president who understands how to harness the extraordinary innovation economy that the United States america has. And we need a president at a leader who is committed to solving real problems that are facing hardworking americans. In their daytoday lives. Not with impossible promises, both Real Solutions. That can get done. And that a majority of the American People can get behind. As president i promised to fight for a 2 trillion infrastructure program. It is the simplest thing we can do to can mitt create good middle class jobs in this country, make our businesses more competitive, and improve the lives of our citizens. As president , i promise to fight to double the earned income tax credit. Families,elp working that is a simple thing we can do. We should double the amount families receive and expand eligibility to include 20 million more americans. That one thing can lift up tens of millions of americans. Out of poverty. President , i promised to fight for creating a form of universal health care, where every american has health care as a human right. Also program where americans have choices. Because the American People fundamentally what choices. These are the kinds of Real Solutions that can get done. Hardworking americans need is not ideology, not for partisanship, not worker law, they actually need us to solve these problems. Differenthip style is , probably because i have a different background. My grandparents were immigrants. They had to struggle to get into this country. One of my grandparents came to the country as a young boy with a Seven Brothers and sisters and his mother. They were all let into the country except for him. He was separated from his pack from his parents, from his mom and his brothers and sisters when he came as the country. And they set him up for deportation. The reason was because he had one arm. Back then, we do not let disabled people into our country. 1923, littleher, boy, comes into the country, his whole family is let in, he is separated, sent to Staten Island to be deported. But he got an appeal. Several months later. The appeal was held in the great hall of ellis island. There were hundreds of people, my grandfather the little boy was in the back of the room with his one arm. And the judge walks in. And my grandfather sees the judge also had one arm. So the only reason he was let into this country, is because the one arm to judge looked at the one armed boy and said im going to let you in, but make something of your life. So my grandparents struggled to get into this country. My dad was a construction worker. Fortunately, he was a Union Construction worker. He was in a union called the International Brotherhood of electrical workers. As a great union. [applause] it took great care of us growing up in north jersey. It paid for half of my tuition to college. I became an entrepreneur. Started two businesses from scratch. Created thousands of jobs. Was the youngest ceo and history of the new york stock exchange. I can go toe to toe with trump on business and economics any day of the week. He was handed his business by his dad. And had six backup sees. I started my from scratch, crated thousands of jobs, my company was voted the best has to work in this community and the obama been a stretch and gave us an award for our investment in disadvantaged communities. [applause] so i will put my Business Record against him any day the week. And i had the privilege of serving in the congress of the United States. So i have a very different background. Bluecollar, successful entrepreneur, and public servant. That is the kind of background makes you focus on making progress and solving problems. The biggest problem we need to solve is to beat donald trump. That is number one issue by any measure. Nothing else compares. To beating this reckless, lawless, in my opinion immoral individual who is leading our country at this moment in time. But the way we have to beat him as we have to capture independent voters, like we did in 2018. We flipped the house in a remarkable turn of events. No one thought we would do that. We flipped 40 seats that were republican. We flipped them to democrats. And we did it with problemsolving candidates. Candidates that built big tents, where progressives, moderates, independents and even disaffected republicans were welcome. Those kind of voters what Real Solutions. They want us to focus on solving problems that affect their daytoday lives. They want us to run on bringing people together. On unity. In 2020. Ur path to win not only the white house, but in the senate and in the house of representatives. I believe we have a once almost in a generational opportunity to build a new coalition, a coalition based on decency. Based on a rally. Based on Solutions Based on morality. Based on solutions. Based on the kind of future we can build together if we invest in our country and in ourselves. That. Oblem goes beyond because i think trump is a symptom of a disease. And the disease is divisiveness. That your enemy is your fellow american. Because they look different than you do. Or they worship a different god. Or they have a different sexual orientation. Or increasingly, because they are in a different local party. This is the core of our problem that is rotting out our country. This is the problem i believe we, the Democratic Party, have to solve. We have to solve it by talking about this notion of common purpose. That we are all actually in this together. We have to get back to the roots that this amazing country grew from, that the tree of liberty grew from, in the sunshine of a cause worth fighting for. Do fact that united we stand. In 1958, john of kennedy gave her mark boal speech where he said we should not seek the democratic answer, we should not seek the republican answer, we should seek the right answer. He gave the speech for weeks after sputnik was launched. The American People were terrified, they thought they had lost their future. The great leaders like john kennedy stepped forward and said no, our future is ours to build. But we have to build it together. And i think we are in a similar moment in time. Theres not one rocket into space. But there is tremendous change in the world. Driven by very powerful forces, globalization and technological innovation, things that are remark of the positive. But have also left huge numbers of our citizens behind. It is deep stabilizer politics. His ds to blessing the world. It is destabilizing the world. This is the call of the Democratic Party to respond to this. To respond to it with decency, with solutions, by bringing the country together and leading around the world. And that is why running for president. That is why i am running for president. Privilegen an amazing. Thank you for coming out. Thank you for all you do for democrats here in New Hampshire and for this whole country. Remember, this is a magnificent country. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise. It is true. [applause] advantage any nation could possibly want to have in the world in 2019. Except one thing. We have a broken government. The good news is that is fixable. That is six both new leaders who are serving for the right reasons, who have ideas about how to bring us together, and solve the problems facing so many americans. Investing in creating a Better Future that is absolutely obtainable to all of us. Leading on the world stage. Because the world desperately needs us to do that. That i believe is the calling of this Amazing Party at this moment in time. Together we can do it. God bless you. Thank you for having me. [applause] to folks who walked in, the food is here to the left, please help yourself. We will be back with her next speaker in a few minutes. Thank you.
