it is wonderful to be here with all of you. o'malley, thetin former mayor of baltimore, the governor of maryland. , am not a former socialist republican. i am a lifelong democrat and running for president of the united states and i need your help and i intend to win. [applause] best parts of running for the united states is looking over the horizon to see how our country is headed. young people who share the idealism and believe in all things possible. that when we look at our national congress and national politics that it is sometimes easy to be discouraged about the
12:39 am
, the division, and the polarization, so i urge you to do as i do. if you want to know where our country is headed, talk to our young people under 30, because you will rarely find they deny climate change is real or think their government should not do something about it. you will rarely find him people under 30 who want to bash new immigrants or slam a door on syrian refugees or deny rights to gay couples and their children. [applause] and all of this tells me that we are actually moving to a much more connected, much more generous, and a much more compassionate place as a country. vicemonth, when president biden announced he would not be a candidate for nomination, he shared some import and wisdom for all of us. he reminded us all of the values that we share. in thee of our belief
12:40 am
dignity of every person, the common good we share, respect for one another, truth about ourselves, and he called upon all of us, not just as democrats, but as americans, not to run away from the progress of the obama-byte years to build a better america -- obama-biden years to build a better america. [applause] >> in other words, he challenged all of us to be fearless about values, ourive ability to solve this problem of income inequality, and our ability to make our economy and country work again for all of us. now look, all of this here tonight can agree on one important thing, and it is this, we cannot allow donald trump or any of the one of these republican party to take over -- or any of the
12:41 am
nabes to take over our white house. every election is a choice. only true in the general election, that is true in our party. the three of us who are running what we nomination do can to lead america forward especially in these new, challenging, and changing times. gives us the best chances to win in november? ofjust 71 days, the people new hampshire, not the big banks , not the polls, not the pundits, but the people of new hampshire will make that critical decision, once you? won't you? [applause] >> it is about the future of children were share, tomorrow.
12:42 am
ago, americans voted for the future, i knew leader in barack obama, and now we need to keep moving forward with new leadership to build upon his record. while all of us here sharet on the stage progressive values, not all of us have a record of actually bringing people together to get things done to turn those values into actions. i do. with 15 years of executive experience as a mayor and governor, i have learned how to be an effective leader. thingslearned how to get done, because i am clear about my principles. passing a living wage, raising the minimum wage, freezing college tuition for years in a row -- [applause] -- these were actions not
12:43 am
words could i made it easier for people, workers, to join unions and bargain collectively for better wages, actions not words. [applause] instead of cutting public education, we invested more in public education and made our public schools the best in america for five years in a row. actions not words. [applause] >> i brought people together to to pass dream act, marriage equality, and to pass the most comprehensive gun safety legislation in the nation with background checks and a ban on combat assault weapons. actions not words. [applause] know, might wife katie and i have four great kids, fact, william, jack, in william is here with me tonight.
12:44 am
my oldest daughter grace is a first grade teacher in her third year as a first grade teacher at walter p carter elementary school in the heart of baltimore city. [applause] and a few short months ago, iner her dad had announced baltimore, she went back to her first grade class and the classroom was all abuzz, adorable, eager to learn, african american, and when the togo came up to her and tugged her on the sleeve and said, "ms. o'malley, i'm not sure about this idea of your father running for president. quite frankly, i like barack obama." [laughter] [applause] well, a lot of us like barack obama, right?
12:45 am
[applause] now the republican presidential candidates would like us all to have a convenient sense of amnesia, but you remember how it was eight years ago, eight years ago, now we have come a long ways is that wall street crash of 2008 when millions of families lost their homes and jobs. obama'so president leadership, our nation is creating jobs again. get this, 68 months in a row of positive job growth in the united states. [applause] and there is no progress without jobs. our country is clearly doing better, but get this, we elected a president. we did not elect a magician, and there is urgent work that still needs to be done.
12:46 am
30 years of failed trickle-down concentrate the wealth economics that keeps wages low. [applause] and it must be said that there is in our country today a growing economic injustice. our middle class is shrinking. our poorest families are becoming poor. 70% of us today are earning less than we did. that is not how our country is supposed to work. we, us,not how -- together come a we must solve it with new leadership in with action. what sort of actions? actions to make wages go up again for all americans to work -- who work hard. [applause] actions to invest in our own
12:47 am
country's potential to make college a gateway to opportunity, not a trap door to a lifetime of crushing debt. [applause] actions that actually square our shoulders to the great challenges of our times, whether it is climate change or the threat of global terror, and makes these challenges our opportunities. look, as americans, we still make our own future. in order to make a better future, save for future, we must return to our true selves and remember that our economy is n .oney, our economy is people it is all of our people. [applause] in other words, a stronger middle class is not the
12:48 am
consequence of economic growth. a stronger middle class is the cause of economic growth. [applause] no family in the united states of america who works hard and plays by the rules should have to raise their children in poverty. must take action together to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour wherever we can and however we can. [applause] we must pay overtime pay for overtime work, equal pay for men and women, and expand paid family leave so that women can participate fully in our workforce. [applause] because when women succeed, america succeeds. [applause] these are the things we do.
12:49 am
this is our formula. this is our american genius for success for individuals and for our country, that we include more people every generation more fully in the economic, social, and political life of our nation. put forwardi have 15 goals to rebuild the american dream that we share, making the option of college a debt free option and a reality within the next five years. [applause] cutting youth unemployment in half by making national service a universal option for every kid in america. [applause] eradicating childhood hunger in the united states of america within the next five years. [applause] and instead of cutting social security like all of those republican candidates want to do, i say we must expand social
12:50 am
security and in peru benefits. [applause] -- and improve benefits. [applause] candidate, the first but hopefully not the last, to move america towards a 100% clean energy grid and create jobs along the way. we are americans. [applause] let me give you another action we can take. our grandparents and parents used to do it. ande want wages to go up not down, then let's bring a love and million of our neighbors out of the author book shadow economy by passing comprehensive immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship. [applause] and seeing it with me on this
12:51 am
one, people, to that immigrant , carnival barker, donald trump, let us stand up together and say the enduring symbol of our nation is not the barbed wire fence, it is the statue liberty. [applause] >> we are a good people. we are a compassionate people we are a generous people. and to win this general election, we must speak to the goodness within. nothing we care about can be accomplished by words alone. we must take action. as democrats, we have to cast aside the worn out politics of the past.
12:52 am
we have to find our backbone again to stand up what is best for our country and best for all americans. as democrats, that means we also have to break with a couple of bad habits. first, we must stop giving a free pass to the voice of wall street who wrecked our economy to begin with. [applause] i have never represented wall street. won't bee as hell taking orders from wall street as your president. [applause] president, i will have the independence and backbone to fight for you. if a bank is too big to fail, too big to jail, and too big to bigge, then it is to damn and it needs to be broken up before it breaks us up. [applause] is thatell me how it
12:53 am
not a single wall street ceo was ever convicted of a single crime related to the 2008 economic meltdown, not a single one. as ahave we come to country when you can get pulled over for a broken tail light, but if you wrecked the nation's economy, you are somehow untouchable. presidential leadership is about the good of the many, not the greed of the few. we need a president who will stand up for us. [applause] second bad habit, trade for the sake of trade. regardless of whether that trade helps our national interests. i say that we must up sending american jobs and profits overseas in bad deals like the transpacific partnership. [applause] now many of us remember nafta
12:54 am
however well intentioned it might have been. we were given a lot of provinces. .- promises in turn we got back empty pockets and md promises. i'm fundamentally and adamantly opposed as an american to secret radios that our congress is forced to to vote on before the rest of us are even allowed to read them. [applause] and it is not what the other countries are doing to us, it is what we are not doing for ourselves. we need to invest in our own economy and build the united states economy that works for all of us. [applause] as we gather here this hampshire, we cannot help but to think of, to remember, and to honor, the victims -- i should say the latest victims -- of another
12:55 am
mass shooting. this time in colorado springs. who lost their lives or were hurt in the latest act of what we might call domestic terrorism . this most recent act of terror took place at a planned parenthood office. others have taken place in classrooms, schools, church basements. we cannot treat these acts of terrible violence as isolated incidents. we have to call them out for what they are. they are acts motivated by intolerance, racism, and hate. they are designed to prey upon the vulnerable and unsuspecting. they are in fact acts of murder and ask of terror, and where ever it happens, it is an assault on all of us. [applause] now so what do we do about
12:56 am
it? we cannot allow ourselves to become in different to it. solution, part of this challenge, is common sense and comprehensive gun safety legislation in the united states. [applause] we have to have the courage to put out children's safety and public safety had of the craven corrupts and morally interests of the national rifle association. [applause] look, it is a free country. it is a free country. the nra has one goal and one go only, and that is selling as
12:57 am
many guns as possible no matter the cost in lives. well, it might be their interests, but that is not what is best for america, and we need to stand up and say no to the nra. [applause] years, for 40 years, they have bullied, threatened, pushed their legislation through congress, told our own members of congress what we can pass and what we can't pass for the people. i say it is high time we found our backbone as democrats and stand up together and say no to the mra -- in ra. -- nra. [applause] >> and what am i talking about? i'm talking about universal background checks. to save lives, we muscles are banned the sale of combat assault weapons. [applause] , we must useves
12:58 am
the buying power of our own federal government, the biggest customer, by the way, the gun companies have, and refuse to buy guns for an any company that does not use the latest, highest, and best to safety technology. any company that does not use the latest, highest, and best safety technology. [applause] >> and we must stop giving immunity to gun manufacturers and gun dealers who sell their weapons of mass murder to criminals on psychopaths, no immunity. [applause] and since every a lecture and is an opportunity to forge a new consensus, i call on senator sanders to join me now, secretary clinton, join me now, and together we can forge a new consensus for common sense gun safety legislation. [applause] >> and the truth, and the truth
12:59 am
here is on our side. the truth is that one american life is worth and more all of the gun sales in america. [applause] the most important responsibility of the president of the united states is to safeguard the lives of the citizens of the united states. that has been driven home for all of us over the course of these last few weeks. airliner down to egypt, suicide bombings in beirut, the terror in paris, hundred skilled and wounded in ,nkara, two dozen dead in mali violent jihadist extremism known as iso-must be defeated and destroyed. this is a global problem that requires a global solution, and
1:00 am
american leadership is essential on both of those fronts. now the un security council unanimously issued a call for member states to " islamic state. we must lead a surge of international effort to destroy the operational capacity of isis. make no mistake about it. ultimately, our success in confronting this threat, our long-term success in defeating this evil, depends upon the as they playvalues out on the actions we take and the actions we refused to take here at home. i am talking about this. democracies are very vulnerable to turning upon themselves in the aftermath of a terror attack. denying this victory to terror depends upon the courage and the
