And think of a clean sustainable system where our homes are efficient and our transportation is energy efficient, where we move aggressively to talk about solar, wind, geothermal, and other sustainable technologies, we can create millions of goodpaying green jobs [cheers and applause] senator sanders let me repeat now what i have been criticized for saying on many occasions. Let me be Crystal Clear and say it again. And that is, it is my view, that health care is a right of all people, not a privilege. [cheers and applause] senator sanders now, the Corporate Media does not talk about this a whole lot. They are too busy getting as from the insurance and the Drug Companies. Let me tell you what they may not see on tv. We are the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care to all all as a right. They do it in the u. K. , france germany, scandinavia, holland. I live 50 miles away from the canadian border, they do in canada. Right now, as a result of the gains of the Affordable Care act, we have made some progress. We have 17 million americans who now have Health Insurance, who previously did not. We have done away with preexisting conditions. Many young people are now able to be on their parents insurance plan. [cheers and applause] [cheers and applause] senator sanders all of that is good, but it is not good enough. Today, 29 Million People have no Health Insurance. Even more, including many here tonight, or underinsured, with high deductibles and copayments, and every person here is getting ripped off by the Drug Companies who charges higher prices. [cheers and applause] senator sanders and despite all of that, we end up spending much more per capita on health care then do the people of any other major country. In my view, and this is thinking outside the box, envisioning a new america, in my view, we need to pass a medicare for all singlepayer program. [cheers and applause] think of an america where every person has health care as a right. Think of an america where you can quit your job and start your own business and not worry about having Health Insurance. And if youre a Small Business person, you dont have to worry about how you will provide Health Insurance to your employees, because they will already have Health Insurance. [cheers and applause] senator sanders everybody here understand that what American History has been about is the understanding that real change real change never takes place from the top down, always from the bottom up. [cheers and applause] senator sanders that is the history of america. Think back 100 plus years ago. Workers in this country, forced to work seven days a week, 12 hours a day. Children working in factories. People could be fired arbitrarily, they had no rights on the job. And workers stood up and said we are not beasts of burden, we are not animals, we are human beings. We want dignity, we will form trade unions and negotiate contracts. [cheers and applause] senator sanders think back several hundred years ago. With the abomination of slavery, African Americans and their allies said, we will struggle for as long as it takes, to end racism and segregation and bigotry in the United States of america. [cheers and applause] senator sanders millions of people stood up to fight for an america not based on racism. Think about 100 years ago. Not a long time from a historical perspective. 100 years ago today, women did not have the right to vote, to not get the education they wanted. Could not do the work they wanted. But women stood up. [cheers and applause] senator sanders they stood up and they said, the status quo aint good enough, it is unacceptable. And women and their male allies said in this america, women will not be secondclass. [cheers and applause] senator sanders and on and on it goes. That is how change takes place. Think about this, if we were in this room 10 years ago, which is no time at all from a historical perspective. 10 years ago, somebody jumps up and says bernie, i think that gay marriage will be made legal in this country in 50 states by the year 2015. Do you know what the person next to her would have said . You are crazy. You are thinking too stupid. It cant happen. But what happened is the Gay Community [cheers and applause] senator sanders the Gay Community and their straight allies made the claim that became impossible to argue against, and that is that people have a right to love each other regardless of their gender. [cheers and applause] senator sanders that is how change takes place. Always takes place when people stand up and reject the status quo and come together. I will give you one more example, five years ago. If we were in his room five years ago, somebody jumps up and says bernie, this 7. 25 an hour minimum wage is an outrage people cannot live on it. We have got to raise that to 15 per hour. Person next to him would have said, 15 an hour, you want to more than double the minimum wage . You are nuts. You are thinking to make. Too being. You are too radical. Maybe eight dollars, maybe 10 you cannot go to 15 an hour. But workers in the fast Food Industry went out on strike. And they said to the american people, we cant make it on 7. 25 an hour. And then you know what happened . In seattle, washington, they passed a 15 an hour minimum wage. And then in los angeles, San Francisco california, new york state here is my point. The major crisis we face, it is not the crises themselves, it is the belief held everything will day every single day by the establishment, the media, the congress, that you cannot make change. This is the status quo, the way it is, and the way it always will be. It does not matter what you believe and that is what this campaign is challenging. [cheers and applause] senator sanders and that is why we are going to win this election. [cheers and applause] senator sanders because change takes place when people look around them and say, what is going on, this is not acceptable. And that is what is happening in america today. People all over the country see that the grotesque level of income and wealth inequality, it is going to the top 1 unacceptable. People are beginning to see that it is absurd that we are the only major country on earth not to provide paid family and medical leave. People are asking, how come every other major country on earth can somehow provide health care to all of their people, but we cant do it . Unacceptable. People are asking, how does it happen, why does it happen at that our infrastructure continues to crumble . Why does it happen that we have the highest rate of childhood poverty of any country on earth . Why do we have a corrupt Campaign Finance system that allows billionaire to buy elections . Why do we have more people in jail than any other country on earth . Why are kids graduating school 30,000, 50,000 in debt . Those are the questions that people are beginning to ask. [cheers and applause] senator sanders and as soon as they ask those questions, they quickly realize that establishment politics and establishment economics are not going to solve those problems. [cheers and applause] senator sanders i am the only candidate for president to tell you a simple truth, and that is that no president , not Bernie Sanders or anybody else, can solve these crises alone. We need a millions of people including many people who have given up on the political process, who have turned away from the process in disgust. We made them back into the system to reclaim american democracy. [cheers and applause] senator sanders we need young people. [cheers and applause] senator sanders many of whom may have not voted yet in their lives, to say, excuse me, the decisions you make now will impact me and my kids for many decades. You better listen to what we have to say. [cheers and applause] senator sanders but what this Political Revolution is about is the understanding that no president , not Bernie Sanders or anybody else, can do it alone. The only way we go forward and rebuild america, and create the economy that works for all of us, the environment that works for all of us, is when millions of people stand up and say loudly and clearly, enough is enough [cheers and applause] senator sanders and if we do not allow the Donald Trumps of the world to divide us, if we understand that our strength is in our diversity, and if we stand together, and if we demand a government that represents all of us, and not just the 1 , when we stand together, there is nothing that we cannot accomplish. [cheers and applause] senator sanders next tuesday here in pennsylvania, there will be an enormously important democratic primary. What i have learned so far from this campaign, is when voter turnout is high, we win. [cheers and applause] senator sanders when voter turnout is low, we lose. So next tuesday, let us have the highest voter turnout in pennsylvania history. [cheers and applause] senator sanders and let pennsylvania go forward and tell the world, you are going to lead this country into a Political Revolution. Thank you all. [cheers and applause] i had to phone someone so i picked on you hey, thats far out so you heard him too switch on the tv we may pick him up on channel two look out your window i can see his light if we can sparkle he may land tonight dont tell your poppa or hell get us locked up in fright theres a starman waiting in the sky hed like to come and meet us but he thinks hed blow our minds theres a starman waiting in the sky hes told us not to blow it cause he knows its all worthwhile he told me let the children lose it let the children use it let all the children boogie starman waiting in the sky hed like to come and meet us but he thinks hed blow our minds theres a starman waiting in the sky hes told us not to blow it cause he knows its all worthwhile he told me let the children lose it let the children use it let all the children boogie [captions Copyright National cable satellite corp. 2016] [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, which is responsible for its caption content and accuracy.

Next, Ohio Governor john kasich campaigns for president in annapolis, maryland. Governor kasich spoke about the National Debt, the economy, and job training. Maryland primary voters go to the polls next tuesday. [applause] thank you. My name is mike and im the mayor of annapolis maryland. I want to thank you all so much for coming out and supporting john kasich to be our next president. [applause] it is only a cheat if i need it. Well governor, where only proud of the work youve done as a governor, as a congressman and of the work youre going to do as president of the United States on day one. [applause] i was coming here and somebody asked me, why are you supporting john kasich for president . I told them, because the country needs a strong leader to take us forward. I said the National Debt, taxes we are on an unsustainable path. When you look at someone who has the leadership to do it, weve seen that with governor kasich. Let me put this in perspective. The last time the federal government was balanced was when john kasich was the budget chairman. [applause] we need someone who can be a commander in chief. America used to have a lot of respect and prominence in the world and some of that has gone away. I was speaking to the service academies. I was congratulating them on two new majors, Cyber Operations and nuclear engineering. The challenges we face in america are historic and unprecedented. The country has never seen a threat like we face before. People from other countries are able to hack our Bank Accounts steal our records, and can even take control of a nuclear reactor. Who is the one person running that has more experience than everyone combined . This man right here, john kasich. [applause] a lot of evil ask people ask, what is someone going to do . In ohio, he took away an 8 billion deficit and created a surplus. He cut taxes, he cut regulations, and he put people back to work, which is what hes going to do for america when hes president. [applause] thank you. Havent cheated yet. You dont need it. [laughter] so a man whos ready to be commander in chief standing in this room, kind of looks like a boxing match, we need somebody who is ready to take it on. The challenges we face weve never seen before. Weve got a man with leadership, with vision, with passion, and a proven track record. I want you to make some noise get excited for the next president of the United States, Governor John Kasich [applause] gov. Kasich wow, ive got to tell you, you guys have a great mayor here, dont you . Young, articulate, a good leader. How old are you . 32. Gov. Kasich and what is your experience that it took you to the mayor . I sent out a fiveyear plan. I had worked on campaigns. I managed political campaigns worked for a Software Company selling management software, other things, had a fiveyear plan, i set out what i want to accomplish, and it has been a blessing. Gov. Kasich how many people do you represent estimate represent . 38,000. Gov. Kasich i think youve got an up and comer. Have a seat. Well its such a nice who made these signs . I thought somebody might have paid you for them. Resist the rage. Research, think. That is like a think tank or something, isnt it . Research . No, we like the signs. You are all very nice to come out here and cram in here and we want to make sure that we take your questions. I had a really interesting day. I flew into pittsburgh last night. And this morning, i went to this place called the Duquesne Club. When i was a very fancy schmancy when i was a kid, we used to take a bus to downtown pittsburgh and then we would kind of walk to the different stores, my buddies and i, and we would go past this Duquesne Club , and there was always a red carpet in front of the Duquesne Club, and there was a general was always station there. And we would walk by and we would look like this, like, wonder what goes on in there. And then we would all salute the general. I found out 25 years later he was the doorman. [laughter] [applause] gov. Kasich honestly. So now ive been there a couple times and we had some events and then we went to this place called the oyster house, which has been there for 125 or 130 years. They wanted to take me to some retail place, so i said the oyster house. I got to see some people who i literally hadnt seen in about 30 years. They came and gathered and i looked around, and what a country we have. What an amazing country. [applause] gov. Kasich s a mailman. He carried mail on his back. His father was a coal miner. He died of black lung and as he was getting older, he was losing his eyesight. There was nobody to stick up for my grandmother. My mothers mother could barely speak english. I remember the night she was taken from our home and she didnt survive the attack she had. She could barely speak english. My mother was one of four kids and she was the only one to have regulated from high school have graduated from high school and really the only one to have gotten out of the eighth grade. My mother and father are gone, but i had some relatives there today, and we all look at one another and we are amazed. And i have to tell you that to have a beautiful crowd like this, to have people come and listen and eight signs and whatever, im really humbled by it. And i want you to know that im just like a normal guy in a big office ok, and i will be a normal guy in even Bigger Office if i would become president. [applause] gov. Kasich so i happen to believe that what i have been given in my life is i dont want to get anybody to sue uptight, too uptight but the lord has given me grace to do many things in my life. [applause] gov. Kasich so when that happens, if you recognize it, then you have to always try to honor that grace. And so for me, the thing that ive always been committed to is making sure that people like my grandfather there was a guy that lived catty corner from our house. He would go up in the morning and he would always have clean clothes and he would get in i dont remember, it was a van or a truck. He had a couple kids and a wife. She worked at the little bakery down the road, trying to make some money. He would come home at night usually later than my father or the other fathers in the neighborhood. He was basically a fix it man. He would come home and h
