[cheers and applause]
8:36 am
this is a campaign that is on the move. [cheers and applause] this is a campaign that a year ago was considered a fringe candidacy, 70 points behind secretary clinton. well, they don't consider us fringe anymore! [cheers and applause] this is a campaign that has won eight out of the last nine caucuses and primaries. [cheers and applause] and with your help on tuesday, we're going to win right here in new york state! [cheers and applause]
8:37 am
this is a campaign which will defeat donald trump -- [cheers and applause] mr. trump will not become president of the united states. that's for sure. [cheers and applause] this is a campaign that is bringing millions of people into the political process. working people and young people who are sick and tired of establishment politics and establishment economics, they want, we want a government which represents all of us, not just the 1%. [cheers and applause]
8:38 am
this is a movement of people who are prepared to think big, not small -- [cheers and applause] people who want to elect not just a new president, but to transform america. [cheers and applause] and this is a movement where people understand why it is that we are not addressing the real issues facing our country, and that is we have a corrupt campaign finance system. [cheers and applause] here is a simple truth which everybody understands whether you're progressive or conservative.
8:39 am
and that is, you cannot have a super pac raise many millions of dollars from wall street or special interests and then tell the american people with a straight face that you're going to stand up to the big money interests. not true. [cheers and applause] let me say a few words about some of the differences between secretary clinton and myself. when we began this campaign, we had to make a very important decision, and that decision was should we do like every other campaign, democrat and republican, and establish a super pac? >> no! >> we said no.
8:40 am
[cheers and applause] we do not represent the interests of wall street or the billionaire class or corporate america. we don't want their money. we're going to do it a different way. [cheers and applause] and what we said was so revolutionary and simple. what we said to the american people, to the middle class and working families, if you want a candidate who will stand with you, please stand with us. [cheers and applause] and in the last year, we have received $7 million individual campaign contributions -- seven million individual campaign contributions. [applause]
8:41 am
that is more campaign contributions than any candidate in the history of the united states of america. [cheers and applause] anybody here know what the average contribution is? [cheers and applause] right. $27. and that is what the political revolution is about, and that is that we're going to win this thing without being dependent on wall street or the big money interests. [cheers and applause] secretary clinton has chosen to raise her money a different way.
8:42 am
she has not just one, but a number of super pacs. last reporting period her super pac listed $25 million from special interests, $15 million from wall street alone. but it is not just super pacs receiving, giving her substantial sums of money. it is the fact that today she is reported, as you with -- as you all know, to give speeches before wall street for $225,000 a speech.
8:43 am
now, if you give a speech for $225,000, must be a pretty damn good speech. [cheers and applause] must be a brilliant and insightful speech analyzing all of the world's problems. [laughter] must be a speech written in shakespearean prose, and that is why i believe that secretary clinton should share that speech with all of us. [cheers and applause] but it is not just how we raise our money, it is the major foreign policy issue of our time where we disagree. in 2002 secretary clinton who was then in the senate and i who was in the house, we heard the
8:44 am
same evidence from george bush and dick cheney about whether or not we should go to war in iraq. i listened very, very carefully. i didn't believe what they were saying. i voted against that war. [cheers and applause] then-senator clinton heard the same evidence i did, she voted for that disastrous are -- war. the worst foreign policy blunder in the modern history of america. but it was not just, as congresswoman gabbard often reminds us, it wasn't just iraq. she was active as secretary of state in overthrowing the government of libya without
8:45 am
thinking about what happens the day after. and she wants a no-fly zone in syria which will get us sucked into a never ending war in that area, something that i vigorously oppose. [cheers and applause] secretary clinton and i disagree on trade policy. she supported virtually every disastrous trade agreement from nafta to permanent normal trade relations to china trade agreements that have cost us millions of decent paying jobs as corporations shut down here, throw american workers out on the street and move to china and
8:46 am
other low-wage countries. i not only pose all of these -- oppose all of these trade agreements, i helped lead the opposition to all of them. [cheers and applause] and if elected president, we are going to transform our trade policy. corporate america will start investing in this country, not just in china. [cheers and applause] secretary clinton and i disagree on minimum wage policy. the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour is a starvation wage. [cheers and applause]
8:47 am
she believes we should raise the minimum wage to $12 an hour. not bad but not good enough. we need to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. [cheers and applause] and i am proud of the fast food workers who went out on strike, who had the guts -- and i've been on the picket line with them -- [cheers and applause] to have the guts to tell the american people if you're worth 4040 hours a week, you should not be living in poverty. thank you, fast food workers. [cheers and applause] secretary clinton and i disagree on a major, major environmental issue.
8:48 am
one of the great environmental crises of our time is the need to preserve clean water. we're not going to do that with fracking. we've got to get rid of fracking. [cheers and applause] >> bernie! bernie! bernie! bernie! >> the people, the people of our country and the people of this world need to know that there will be clean drinking water for them and their kids in the years to come. we have got to stand up to the fossil fuel industry and say fracking is eliminated all across this country. [cheers and applause]
8:49 am
and related, i'm a member of the u.s. senate committee on the environment. and anyone who comes before you and tells you that climate change is not real, is not caused by human activity, is not already causing massive problems in our country and around the world, that person is lying to you. [cheers and applause] we have got to understand that leaving this planet healthy and habitable for our children and our grandchildren is a moral issue. and we have got to tell the fossil fuel industry that their
8:50 am
short-term profits are not more important than the future of this planet. [cheers and applause] and we have got to listen to the scientific community who tells us we have got to be bold and aggressive now in transforming our energy system. [cheers and applause] i am proud to let you know that i have introduced the most comprehensive climate change legislation in the history of the united states senate. [cheers and applause] and that legislation includes a tax on carbon. [cheers and applause] secretary clinton does not
8:51 am
support a tax on carbon. i am right, she is wrong on this important issue. [cheers and applause] everybody here knows that as a result of the greed and the recklessness and the illegal behavior of wall street, this country was plunged into the worst economic downturn since the 1930s. millions of people lost their homes, they lost their jobs, they lost their life savings. the united states congress, against my vote, voted to bail out wall street. they bailed out wall street because the major banks were considered too big to fail.
8:52 am
well, it turns out that three out of the four largest banks today are bigger than they were when we bailed them out because they were too big to fail. turns out that five banks recently could not even produce documents as to a living will and how in a financial emergency they would break themselves up. i believe when you have a handful of financial institutions in which the top six have assets equivalent to 58% of the gdp of this country, when they issue two-thirds of the credit cards and one-third of the mortgages, the time is now to break them up. [cheers and applause]
8:53 am
all of you know that last week goldman sachs formalized, formalized a settlement with the united states government for $5 billion. other banks reached even larger settlements. and the reason these guys are paying these fines is because, as everybody knows, they were producing worthless packages of subprime mortgage loans which helped precipitate the great financial crisis of 2008-2009. what i find amazing is that some kid today in brooklyn's going to get arrested for possession of marijuana. that kid will have a criminal record for the rest of his life. but you can be an executive on
8:54 am
wall street, and your illegal actions can impact the lives of millions of people, but you get no criminal record. not you. you get an increase in your compensation. so i'll tell you what we're going to do, we're going to bring justice back to our criminal justice system. [cheers and applause] secretary clinton and i disagree on social security. here's the fact. today in new york city, in vermont and all over this country millions of people are struggling, struggling to keep their heads above water on 11, $12,000 a year social security. kiss abled veterans -- disabled veteran, people with
8:55 am
disabilities not able to buy the medicine they need, not able to keep their homes warm in the winter, not able to buy the food they need. now, my republican colleagues in the senate, they've got a brilliant idea. they think the response to that crisis is to cut social security. well, i've got bad news for them. we are not going to cut social security. we're going to expand social security benefits. [cheers and applause] i have outlined a very specific way to do that. right now somebody makes 5 million a year, somebody makes 118,000, they're both contributing the same amount into the social security trust fund. lift that cap, start at 250,000. we can expand benefits significantly for seniors
8:56 am
getting less than $16,000. [cheers and applause] and extend the life of social security for 58 years. [cheers and applause] i have challenged secretary clinton and challenged her and challenged her. she still refuses to come onboard and lift the cap, demand the wealthy start paying their fair share into the system and expand social security benefits for the elderly and disabled vets. the reason that our campaign is doing so well is that we're doing something really radical in contemporary american politics. we are telling the truth. [cheers and applause]
8:57 am
and here is the truth. when a handful of billionaires like the koch brothers and a few others are able to put more money into the political process in order to elect candidates who will represent the interests of the wealthy and the powerful, when the koch brothers and a few others can spend more money on a campaign than either the democratic or republican party, that is not democracy. that is oligarchy! [cheers and applause] and we will not accept that. [cheers and applause] and we will not accept republican governors trying to suppress the vote. [cheers and applause] cowardly governors who are afraid of free and open and fair
8:58 am
elections. and i say to those governors if you're too afraid of a fair election, get out of politics, get another job. [cheers and applause] this campaign is going to win because we are talking about a rigged economy. brothers and sisters, the united states is not supposed to be about an economy in which the top one-tenth of 1% now owns almost as much wealth as the bottom 90%. it is not about an economy where the 20 wealthiest people own more wealth than the bottom 150 million people. it is not about an economy where
8:59 am
one family, the waltons of walmart, own more wealth than the bottom 40% of the american people. together we are going to create an economy that works for working people, that works for the elderly, the children, the sick and the poor. all of us, not just the 1%. [cheers and applause] and this campaign is gaining momentum because we understand that our criminal justice system is broken. it is an international disgrace that we have more people in jail than any other country on earth.
9:00 am
we are spending $80 billion a year to lock up 2.2 million americans. and together we are going to end that right now. right now in this country youth unemployment is off the charts. you have kids between 17 and 20 where if they are white, 33% are unemployed or underemployed. latino, 36%. african-american kids, 51%. ..
9:01 am
i want them to be in school, not hanging out on street corners. we are going to bring about real police department reform from one end of this country to the other. [cheers and applause] i am tired, and you are tired, of seeing unarmed people being shot and killed by police. [cheers and applause] i was the mayor of burlington, vermont, for eight years and i worked, i worked hard with the police department in my own community how all over my state, and all over the country. here's the truth. the overwhelming majority of police officers are honest,
9:02 am
hard-working, into a very, very difficult job. [cheers and applause] but the of the truth is that just like any other public official, if a police officer breaks the law, that officer must be held accountable. [cheers and applause] we need to demilitarize police departments all over this country. [cheers and applause] we need to make local police departments reflect the diversity of the communities they represent. [cheers and applause] we need to create a culture in which lethal force is the last response, not the first response. [cheers and applause] we need to end private corporate
9:03 am
ownership of presents and detention centers. [cheers and applause] we need to end the so-called war on drugs. [cheers and applause] over the last 30 years, millions of americans have received police records for possession of marijuana. [booing] and lives have been ruined. if you're a kid and you're out looking for a job, your future employer, your prospective employer ask you, have you ever been arrested? i was. well, somebody else they get that job. right now under the federal controlled substance act, mayor one is listed as a schedule one drug right next to heroin. [booing] i think that that is crazy and that is why i have legislation
9:04 am
in and will make happen and president removing marijuana from the federal controlled substance act. [cheers and applause] legalizing marijuana is the state issue but it should not be a federal crime. [cheers and applause] and when we talk about drugs, everybody here understands we have a terrific epidemic of heroin and opioid addiction. people are dying every single day from overdose. we need a radical change in how we treat drug addiction and substance abuse. we must -- [applause] clearly, the sensible approach is understanding these are health related issues, not
9:05 am
criminal issues. [cheers and applause] and that is why we need a revolution in mental health treatment in this country. [cheers and applause] people should be able to get the treatment they need when they need it, not six months from when they need it. [cheers and applause] this campaign is going to win because we listen to ordinary people, not just wealthy campaign contributors. [cheers and applause] a few hours ago i was in brownsville here in brooklyn. and i visited with some new york
9:06 am
city public housing in brownsville, and what i learned is that in brownsville, in brooklyn, all over the city, all over the state, we have a $17 billion backlog in construction needs. [booing] we have community centers for kids that are closing down. [booing] we have kids who are unemployed and have no hope of getting a job. unfortunately, they do have hopes and do you have access in getting guns. our job is to give kids jobs, not guns. [cheers and applause] and that is why, together, we are going to transform our
9:07 am
national priority. we're going to rebuild inner cities in this country, rather than waste trillions on wars we never ever should have gotten into. [cheers and applause] and this campaign is listening to our african-american brothers and sisters. [cheers and applause] they want their kids in good, effective public schools, not in schools that are crumbling. [applause] they want their families to have access to health care, and they want the environment in their neighborhoods to be clean so their kids are not coming down with asthma. [cheers and applause]
9:08 am
i was in flint, michigan, a few months ago. what i saw in flint was literally hard to believe in terms of it occurring here in america in 2016. children being poisoned by lead in the water. [booing] together, we are going to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure, whether it's public housing in brooklyn or the water system in flint, michigan. [cheers and applause] and when we do that we create millions of decent paying jobs. [cheers and applause] this campaign is listening to our brothers and sisters in the latino community. [cheers and applause]
9:09 am
there are 11 million undocumented people in this country. many of them are being exploited, because when you have no legal protection, employers can take advantage of you. many of them are living in fear and living in the shadows. i agree with the latino community, we need comprehensive immigration reform and a path toward citizenship. [cheers and applause] and if congress does not do its job, i will use of executive power of the presidency to do everything i can. [cheers and applause] [chanting] >> this campaign is listening to people who get almost no hearings at all, and that is the native american community. [cheers and applause]
9:10 am
we owe the native american people more than we can ever repay, but from day one before we became a country, they were lied to and cheated and treaties that had been negotiated were broken. if i'm elected president there will be a new relationship with the native american people. [cheers and applause] this campaign is listening to women. [cheers and applause] and women, women are telling me they are sick and tired of our name 79 cents on the dollar compared to men. [cheers and applause] they want the whole damn dollar. [cheers and applause] and they are right.
9:11 am
[cheers and applause] and i know that every man here is going to stand with the women in the fight for pay equity. [cheers and applause] you know, as we speak you've got republican candidates running all over this country talking about family values. and let us be clear what they mean by family values. what they need is that no woman here today or in the state or in this country has the right to control her own body. i disagree. and what they believe as a family value is that our gay brothers and sisters do not have the right to be married. i disagree.
9:12 am
jane and i have been married 27 years. [cheers and applause] we have four kids. [cheers and applause] and seven beautiful grandchildren. [applause] we believe in family values, but those values are a little bit different than republican values. [applause] we believe that it is an international embarrassment that we are the only major country on earth not to guarantee paid family and medical leave. [applause] i have been criticized for saying this, so let me say it again.
9:13 am
it is my very strongly held view that health care is a right of all people. [cheers and applause] and not a privilege. it is my view that there is something wrong when every major country on earth, everyone, the uk, france, germany, italy, holland, scandinavia, canada -- i live 50 miles away from canada -- all of these countries have managed to provide health care to all people as a right. we are the only ones who have not accomplished without. accomplished that. [booing] now, today as a result of the affordable care act we have made
9:14 am
some good progress. we have done away with preexisting conditions. [applause] we've added 17 million in the ranks of the uninsured and we've done away with discrimination in women for the price they pay for their health care they receive. [applause] but despite those gains, 29 million americans still have no health insurance, and many of you are underinsured with high deductibles and high copayments. and every day all of us are getting ripped off by the greed of the drug companies who charge us the highest prices in the world. [booing] and then on top of all that, we end up paying far, far more per
9:15 am
capita for health care than do the people of any other country. [booing] that is why, in my view, we need to move toward a medicare for all single-payer program. [cheers and applause] and that program will save the average middle-class family thousands of dollars a year in their health care costs. [applause] brothers and sisters, all of you know that real change never takes place from the top on down. it always takes place from the bottom on top. [cheers and applause] that is the history of america. that really is the history of america.
9:16 am
history of america is that over 100 years ago when workers were forced to work seven days a week, 14 hours a day, they have no rights, they could be fired at the whim of the employer. workers said enough is enough. we will be treated as human beings with respect and dignity. we will form unions and engage in collective bargaining. [applause] and millions of workers came forward, and in doing so, help create the american middle class. [applause] and hundreds of years ago when slavery was rampant in this country, african-americans and their allies said, we would not accept this abomination. we will not accept segregation.
9:17 am
we would not accept racism. we will not accept bigotry. and millions of people came together and said, in america racism will not be part of what this country is about. [cheers and applaus one hundred years ago, 100 years ago which from an historical perspective is no time at all, 100 years ago women in america did not have the right to vote, to get the education they wanted, or do the work they wanted 100 years ago. but women stood up. women fought back. women went to jail. women went on hunger strikes. [cheers and applause] and women and their male allies
9:18 am
said that in america, women will not be second-class citizens. [cheers and applause] if we were here 100 years ago -- 10 years ago and somebody jumped up and said you know, i think that gay marriage will be legal in 50 states that this country by 2015, person next to her would've said you are nuts. but that is exactly what happened, and it happened not just because of a decision of a conservative supreme court. it happened because millions of people stood up with the gay community. [cheers and applause] they taken nearly and their straight allies said that in america, people will have the right to love whoever they want
9:19 am
regardless of their gender. [cheers and applause] that is how it changed comes about. right now all over this country people are looking at the status quo. they are looking around them and they say, in this great country how does it happen that we have more wealth and income inequality than any major country on earth? how does it happen that we have a proliferation of millionaires and billionaires, and we have the highest rate of childhood poverty of any major country on earth? how does it happen that our infrastructure, our water systems, our wastewater plants, roads, bridges, airports are crumbling in this great country?
9:20 am
how does it happen that we are the only country, major country that doesn't guarantee paid family and medical leave or health care to all? how does it happen that we continue with a corrupt campaign finance system that allows billionaires to buy elections? how does it happen that we have more people in jail than any other country on earth? and all over this country, people are looking around them and saying, this is not what the status quo should be. we are going to change the status quo. [cheers and applause] and people understand that very profound historical lesson, and that is no president, not bernie
9:21 am
sanders or anyone else, can do it alone. the only way we make real change is when we stand together. [cheers and applause] if anybody here thinks we will elect bernie, he will do it all, you are mistaken. can't be done. wall street, or put america, the corporate media, the wealthy campaign donors are so powerful. no president alone can do what has to be done. and what has to be done is that millions of people have got to stand up and demand that we have a government that represents all of us, not the 1%. [cheers and applause] donald trump will not be elected president of the united states.
9:22 am
[cheers and applause] he will not be elected a president because the american people will not support a candidate who insults mexicans and latinos, who insults muslims and islamic people from all over the world, who insults women, who insults veterans. [booing] who insults the african-american community. [booing] let us not forget that before trump was a candidate for president, he was leader come one of the leaders of the so-called birther movement which try to delegitimize the presidency of the first african-american president in history. [booing] donald trump will not become
9:23 am
president because at the end of the day what the american people understand, that our strength as a people is in our diversity. [cheers and applause] that we are strong when blacks and whites and latino and asian americans and native americans, with all of our people come together, and they are coming together is always more important and always trumps dividing us up. [cheers and applause] the american people understand that when we support each other, when i am there for your family and you are there for my family, that supported each other always trumps selfishness.
9:24 am
[cheers and applause] and the american people understand, maybe most profoundly, the lesson of every major religion on earth, whether it is christianity or judaism or islam or buddhism, or whatever it may be, and that is that at the end of the day, love trumps hatred. [cheers and applause] [chanting] >> on tuesday, two days, there's going to be an enormously important democratic primary here in new york. [cheers and applause]
9:25 am
what this campaign has taught me is that we win caucuses and primaries where the voter turnout is high. we lose them when the voter turnout is low. let's have a record-breaking turnout on tuesday.

9:32 am
okay. i'm currently working on a secret plan to delay the primaries so i can spend more time eating in new york. and we have not come we're going to reveal the secret plan soon because, listen, yesterday we were in watertown. the last time the presidential candidate had been in watertown i wasn't born. it was teddy roosevelt. it was fantastic. the only problem was i didn't get an opportunity to see the lake, which is, or this thousand i love. i don't know if you know but a shift from new york city went to watertown and ripped off thousand island dressing. that's just not right. we went to utica yesterday, had a beautiful, beautiful effort in utica.
9:33 am
but today in the city come into neighborhoods, this has been, been so great. i'm back to syracuse, syracuse i should say, on monday, and i had a great time with the legislature up in albany. i mean, it's just been a wonderful, wonderful time. and then there's no question that the opportunity that i was given today to be in this great synagogue, to be given an opportunity to speak to the congregation will go down as one of the great moments in my lifetime. and what a privilege. so, questions? >> are you in the process of examining a vice presidential nominee yet speak was i am not today, no.
9:34 am
>> just in general has that process started? >> somebody, somebody said to me that we needed to begin to think about this and i said it just seems a little early. this was just mentioned it to me so i don't want to mislead you. i will get back to you on that. >> -- about your faith, about the world. why did you decide to come here today and deliver that? >> i really did know what i was going to say when i got here. this was my speech. okay? this was a. and i wrote it about five minutes before i got here. not out of disrespect for the people who i was going to speak you, but i had a lot of things that i wanted to say. but i didn't want to make a political talk.
9:35 am
i just wasn't interested. ego into a synagogue and to talk about faith, i think. well, i don't know other than to say that i felt that i had to follow my instincts. and on two separate occasions during that talk, i reminded everyone that surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and i will dwell in the house of the lord forever. you see, that's about hope. it's also about why sometimes when i see things on the campaign trail about this is not the only thing that matters to me, people have questioned my resolve. it's not my resolve that needs to be questioned. it's the fact that i believe that life is more important than a political campaign. test we are here and then we are gone. that's what i think it's so
9:36 am
important we live a life beyond ourselves, but i don't minimize the critical importance of the leadership of teddy roosevelt, dwight eisenhower, ronald reagan, harry truman. leadership does matter. winston churchill. leadership matters. that's what i run for this office. but at the end, you know, it needs to be kept in perspective. and so i try to work to develop my face as best i can. but as i told him, sometimes you don't know how strong your faith is until the storms into your life, and you hope that with faith, it also puts into perspective your successes. so i can't tell you anything other than i get moved by the
9:37 am
spirit of the moment like this. probably some wished i had talked more about policy or whatever. but that's all i had today. >> governor, you give everybody hope. >> may i ask if you were president, would hurt a lot about the pressures being a neutral broker. what -- >> i'm not a neutral broker when it comes to issue. the one thing i said is that the israelites had entered the promised land, and they always will be in the promised land, forever. until the end of human history. they will be there. i'm not neutral when it comes to israel. i consider them in to be one of the greatest allies, the only democracy in the middle east under constant attack, both above the ground and beneath the
9:38 am
ground. with people walking in and trying to kill jews just because they happen to live in israel. i mean, it's a terrible situation. and as i said, look, we would all love to see some sort of a two-state solution, but that's up to the party. i'm not going to go tell the israelis how to run their security. how to run all the foreign policy. if i have something to tell them i will tell them without any cameras being around. they are undergoing tremendous pressure today because of the stabbings that occurred, one thing after another. but stand with them. i am not a neutral party when it comes to issue. you count me foursquare in their corner. [applause] >> governor one more question. >> i believe they need to constantly of military superiority, and i am very happy
9:39 am
with the fact that is when i was in congress we began the early days of the iron dome. but it's become clear that the attacks, in every single way. and what i also am concerned about is the rise of anti-semitism in this world. and i will tell you this. it will not be tolerated in our college campuses. >> you were saying a two-state solution that would be on the parties to achieve it. what role if any d.c. for you as president to negotiating -- >> look, i united states can always serve as a mediator, and i've done this at times in my life to bring parties together to search for stability and some level of peace. but you have to of willing partners. that's why president don't run around the world having meetings without having an opportunity to
9:40 am
achieve something. you have to of willing partners, and right now i don't think that the israelis have a willing partner for peace. so the moment a partner would appear and say let's see if we can stabilize the situation, i would be the first one fair to help. believe me, i would do that. okay, thank you all. i have to go, everybody. i'm sorry but i have to go. i have to go.
