other as seniority. we had a conversation into the night talking about annapolis and his time as a prisoner and we pledged to each other right then we thought we needed to try to find a way to make peace.

>> every time we tried to pull herself closer to the american idea that we are endowed by our creator certain unalienable rights. somebody who likes things the way they are benefits for power and privilege pushback. they will push anyway they can sometimes they are sneaky but they will try to divide feel as if you have no power because it helps them keep power and privilege and we are living through one of those moments right now. with one of overnight there

has been here and tidy with the world and the economy changes the face of america is changing and that challenges who we are we see things we are not accustomed to we get stressed and scared we don't know what the future will bring. and because these are serious challenges it is easy sometimes when people are feeling uncertain and insecure to make us feel more divided and we are in one of those moments right now where there

is backlash against progress when i was president we had to work through the worst economic crisis since the great depression. and those actions that we took turned the economy around starting the longest streak of job creation on record. [applause] which continues to this day and because another 20 million with health insurance and we can our deficits in half to make sure the wealthiest americans pay their fair share of taxes. [applause] so by the time we were don done, wages were up the uninsured rate was down folks take credit for this economic

miracle hold up. hold up. please. anyhow. [laughter] here is the thing. with some of these long-term trends we have seen manufacturing jobs. rising inequality still take place and the unionization that made life harder for working people.

once the republicans took over congress they would not even do something they use to support. so we did pull the economy out of crisis, there were still issues that needed addressed that were once soldered the middle class we took out bin laden and we would wind down the iraq war. [applause] but there were a lot of threats out there. >> speed nine.

>> okay. [laughter] so these challenges make people feel like the game was rigged and then the big money comes into politics they listen to the lobbyist or pull the strings behind the scene. and then to exploit those frustrations with ethnic and religious divisions. they appeal to pride and fear pitting people against each other. thinking it would be restored if not for those folks. that is an old playbook.

but the closer you get to election day this is what politicians fall back on. they will say candidate such and such to put murderers in your house. the fear mongering of a healthy democracy doesn't work. from both parties.

but then other voices filled the room. even as they help the wealthiest and most powerful. and then they start to undermine the institutions of democracy. that makes it even harder for young people sometimes those corporate polluters. one .-point $5 trillion of tax cuts.

and then to argue with working families. but none of that is conservative. it is radical what they are doing. even if it hurts their own constituents. even though they have hundreds of thousands of people. [applause] you've got folks who are entirely comfortable high priced lobbyist should set the agenda.

the republicans in congress they are the shields. from accountability. i'm not telling you anything you don't know. on november 6 you have a chance to restore sanity to our politics. [cheers and applause] you can set the balance of power back to the people. [cheers and applause] and there is only one real check on the abuse of power.

>> and then sometimes you go to vote and you have a reason to vote. with that amazing democratic candidates right here. and the reason it is so important and they stand up for you. they will stand up to bad behavior and stand up for you. now this fall they will try to come out again but they

believe healthcare is a right and stand up to those five .-point 3 million in pennsylvania and for those that depend on the coverage but you have to vote. [applause] the republicans inside the governor's mansion the fall lung - - this fall. that was the need people with disabilities that would put folks with this terrible opioid epidemic at even greater risk governor wolf expanded medicaid under the

affordable care act. you know he will protect your care. but you have to vote. [applause] >> democrats believe a growing economy so rather than let congress keep attacking you stand up those that are organizing for higher wages. rather than stand up for big banks and for-profit colleges we need to let pennsylvania students earn a higher education so they can get a better job. [applause] rather than side with the big drug companies we need to

bring down prescription medicine. and talk with those who have a plan to do that and have a history of doing that and will follow through on doing that. you have to convert one - - convince those on every issue that you have to think about things even those that are not democrat. we should be concerned about their government they should want to see a restoration decency. lawfulness. [cheers and applause] you don't have to be a democrat or republican to say it's not good to pressure the fbi or the attorney general

that is what they do in some dictatorships but not here in the united states. [cheers and applause] you don't have to be a democrat or republican. or with newspapers or tv stations. there are a bunch of stories i did not like. i did not tell michelle that's not fair. [laughter] but in order to protect those basic rights you have to vote you don't have to be a democrat or republican to say we cannot target people based on how they look. [cheers and applause] their last name or their sexual orientation that is not right.

treating people fairly with their innate dignity is not a republican or a democratic issue that is a human issue and that is an american issue. [cheers and applause] how hard is it to treat people fairly? >> come on we were supposed to learn that in the sandbox. you say no to that person nicely. right? >> there are conservatives who think it's not possible to run up to 11 - - trillion dollar deficits for our children and

compassion about separating immigrant children from their moms. i believe they think we need a limited government but make sure when the hurricane comes people are taken care of. [cheers and applause] so i say this because in some degree i'm preaching to the choir left mac. [laughter] but hopefully some folks beyond this amphitheater also listen. we don't have to agree on everything. but we do have to agree on some basic things. we have to have elected officials even if we don't agree on everything, we trust them to do the basic things and the core values.

[applause] we need leaders who will stand up for what is right and fight for you. and fight for what's best for the american. you can tell i'm losing my voice. i am out of practice. [laughter] but i am wrapping up. come on. here's the last thing i want to talk about. the fact that i am actually hopeful right now. the reason is because out of this political darkness i see a great awakening happening. [applause] i am so encouraged because i am watching people get involved for the first time waking up to the fact they

need to be involved after a very long time they are organizing people to vote even those who have never ran for office before have decided this is too crazy i have got to get in there. because they understood this moment is too important. military veterans. [applause] they are advocates to fight for americans in need like scott wallace. s17. moms who fought to protect our kids from gun violence. [applause] by the way madeleine taught

ethics in college and you know we need that in congress. [laughter] so you have a movement of citizens by the way a record number of women. [applause] pennsylvania is a great state. right now you have no women in congress democratic women to washington if you vote. [cheers and applause] and i will tell you and michelle did not put me up to this. [laughter] politics work better when women are involved. [cheers and applause]

government works better when women are represented. [cheers and applause] so we have great candidates that the to the government to organize and energize this election will not fix everything but it could rest. but you have to start it in this election and then every election. every day. pay attention. be involved. the biggest threat to this democracy is not just one person in the white house or republican but the biggest

threat is difference and cynicism. i am talking to you, young people. [applause] you. pay attention the biggest threat to our democracy when people think it's not about me. look at your phone to see where you can vote. [cheers and applause] look at your phone to see how can i get involved? >> if you don't like what's going on right now don't complain. don't hashtag. don't eight be anxious. don't put your hand lung

--dash head in the sand. do not do long - - don't just sit back with your boys and act like you are too cool. vote. vote. vote. i want you to vote for bob casey and tom and these congressional candidates. but this is important but also vote for the mayors in the sheriffs and the state legislators and the states attorneys and district attorneys. [applause] if you are a young person that cares about the criminal justice system, who do you

think enforces the criminal justice system? >> who do you think decides whether or not if there will be justice done of something bad has happened? >> not the president. it somebody at the local level you have the power to decide. [applause] when you vote you can make sure you are fair. your state supreme court is not the electoral map. that's because people voted. when you vote you have the power to make sure women are protected and ended discrimination. equal pay. when you vote you can make

college more affordable for students. you can make it harder for someone to shoot up a classroom. when you vote you can make sure somebody keeps their health insurance you can save somebody's life you have that power in your tape article that have been through harder times than these in every generation just sit around and wait for somebody else. but by leading a movement for change. that is the power you have right now. if you get involved and knock on doors and talk to family members and talk to new voters and get them to vote for the entire pennsylvania to

something powerful will happen per host will happen and every time you help the kid read over a new law helps the family get shelter or a veteran get support. it gets a little more hopeful. take one more step in the direction of justice and equality. and that hope spreads. you need to spread hope it is up to you to make change. pennsylvania are you going to vote? >> thank you. god bless.
