again ingather here brewery, in this city of -- brotherly love to reaffirm our values before the nation and the whole world. my purpose is not like there's tostart a great nation, but ensure that we continue in the best of our tradition. to, with humble homage generations and patriots before. we put forth to great americans. our nominee for president and vice president, hillary clinton and tim kaine. applause] now, look at that core history. looking back to our founding fathers. documentsfounding that were indeed genius.

but the founding documents were not genius because they were perfect. they were saddled with the imperfections and even the bigotry of the past. native americans were referred to as savages. black americans were fractions beings. and, women were not mentioned at all. of ourse ugly parts histories do not distract from our nation's greatness. and fact, i believe we are in even greater nation not because we started perfect but the cousin every generation has successfully labored to make us a more perfect union. applause] senator booker: generations of her rogue americans have made our nations more inclusive. more expansive. and, more just.

our nation was not founded because we all look alike or prayed alike or descended from the same family tree. what our founders, in their genius, and this, the oldest constitutional democracy on the planet earth, they put forth the idea that all are created equal. rights have in alienable . and i am so proud that it was upon this foundation that we build a great nation and today, no matter who you are, rich or or white, man or woman, gay or straight, any you are or none at all, entitled to the civil rights and responsibilities of citizenship. city, our founders put forth a declaration of independence but let me tell it -- a that also made

historic independence. they knew that if this country was to survive and thrive, we an unusual and extraordinary commitment to each other. look, i respect and value the ideals of individuals and self-reliance. but rugged individualism did not the feet deep british. it did not get us to the moon. nation'st build our highways. rugged individualism did not map the human genome. we did that together. cheers and applause] sen. booker: said this is the high call of patriotism. patriotism is love of country but you cannot love your country without loving your countrymen enter countrywomen.

applause] sen. booker: we do not always have to agree but we must be there for each other. we must empower each other. we must find common ground and we must build bridges across our differences to pursue the common that. let me tell you, we cannot devolve into a nation where our highest aspiration is that we tolerate each other. we are not called to be a nation of tolerance. we're called to be a nation of love. [cheers and applause] is why the: that last line of the declaration of independence says it so clearly. it says to make this nation work we must mutually latched together our lives, our fortunes. tolerance is the runway.

says, i am going to stomach your right to be different. if you'd disappear from the face of the earth i am no better or worse. but love, love knows that every american has worth and value so no matter what your background, and a matter what their race or religion or sexual orientation, we need torecognizes each other. that to we as a nation are better together. divided we are weak. when we are united we are strong, when we are indivisible, we are invincible. -- this -- this is the understanding of love. embodied in one of my favorite sayings. it is an african saying and it says, if you want to go fast go alone. if you want to go far, go

together. applause] sen. booker: this is the reason i'm so motivated in this election because i believe this election is a referendum on who best and bodies the leadership we need to go far together. donald trump is not that leader. we have watched him. try to get laughs at other peoples expense. try to incite fear at a time we courage.nspire try to rise in the polls by dragging our national conversation into the gutter. ,e have watched him mock cruelly mock, a journalist ross disabilities. we have watched him do mean the service of my colleagues saying he is not a war hero. he was a war here because he was

captured. john said, i do not like people to get captured. when you say that to pows from world war ii, when you say that to pows from vietnam, would he say that to the brave men and women in iraq and afghanistan right now risking capture or worse question mark that is not the commander-in-chief. we have watched donald trump paint with a broad brush saying that mexican immigrants who came to build a better life in america are in his words, bringing crime, bringing drugs. he called many of them rapists. he says that an indian-born federal judge cannot be trusted to do his job because of his mexican ancestry. a statement that his fellow have to -- we have watched donald trump, i were children, our grandkids

have watched donald trump and heard him calling women names.ng and demeaning dogs. fed pigs. disgusting animals. it is a twisted hypocrisy when he treats other women in a manner he would never, ever accept from another man speaking about his daughter or his wife. applause] sen. booker: in this great nation where our nation founders put a fundamental core of religious freedom, he says ban all muslims. do not let certain people into america because of how they prayed. take an interest in the fact trumps says he would run our country like he runs his businesses. well, i am from jersey. applause]

cory booker: and i am from the great garden say and we see -- great garden state and we see how he leads in atlantic city. he got rich while his company declared multiple bankruptcy, yet without remorse, even as people got hurt and lost jobs through his failure he bragged and i quote, the money i took out of there was incredible. yes, he took out a lot of cash. contractors,ed many of them small businesses. refusing to pay them for the work they had done. we in america have seen enough of a handful of people getting rich at the cost of a nation descending into crisis. america at our best, we stand up to bullies. and we fight those who seek to demean and degrade other americans. and times of crisis, we do not

abandon our values. we double down on them. ] heers and applause sen. booker: even in the midst of the crisis of the civil war, lincoln took office and called out to all of our country saying, with malice towards non-and charity towards all. this is our history. this is a history was taught right parents. my parents never wanted my get to heady to from the gravity said they never we got showing us that our freedom by ordinary americans who showed extraordinary kindness, decency, and love. people who sweat and bled for our rights. paid the ultimate price for the freedoms we enjoy. i was told we cannot pay those

americans back for their colossal acts of courage but we have an obligation to pay it forward to others through our service and our sacrifice. hillary clinton because she's -- these are her values and she has been paying it forward her entire life. politics,e she got in she was in massachusetts going door-to-door collecting the stories of children's with disabilities. in south carolina, she fought to reform the justice system so that children would not be brought into adult prisons. and alabama, she has exposed the remnants of segregation. and arkansas, she started and eight -- and the -- a legal aid clinic to make sure people can

get their day in court. she delivers. that is why we trust her to fight in to deliver for us as president. let me tell you, we have a presidential nominee in clinton who knows that and a time of stunningly wide disparity of the wealth in our nation, and america's greatness must not be measured by how many millionaires and billionaires we have that how few people we have living in poverty. that when workers make a fair wage it does not just help their family at bills a more stronger and herbal economy that expands opportunity and makes all americans wealthier. she knows in a global knowledge-based economy, the country that out-educates the world will out-our new world, out-innovate the world, and will lead the world. she knows the debt-free college is not a gift, it is not

charity, it is in investment that represents the best of our values. the best of our interests. and the best of our parties. our shared ideals and values together. hillary clinton knows that when we have paid family leave, this is something that must happen because when a parent does not have to choose between being there for a sick child and paying rent, when a single mom earns an equal wage for equal work, it empowers the most important building block in all of our nation and that is the family. thatry clinton knows security does not come from scapegoating other people because of their religion. alienating our allies. stoking fear. pointing fingers. it comes when we band together to face down and defeat our

common enemies and she knows something i fight for every day, that our terminal justice system desperately needs reform. we need to bring back fairness to a system that is filled, as professor brian stevenson said, you do better if you're rich and guilty the import and innocent. she knows we can be a nation officerseves police user more respect, more support, more cooperation and love and believes that a black, 20-something protester deserves to be valued, deserves to be heard, they should be listened to with more courageous empathy and that change is needed in the system. and hillary clinton knows what betrays time and again and his campaign, that we are not a zero-some nation.

it is not you or me. it is not one american against another american. it is you and i together. interdependent, interconnected, with one single interwoven destiny. when we respect each other, stand up for each other, work together against all challenges, against our neighbors challenges, be it a neighbor with a beautiful special needs child or one struggling with the ugly disease of addiction, when we as americans help them, when we show compassion and grace, when we evidence our truth that we are the united states of america, one nation under god indivisible, that is when we are stronger. we build from an already great america to and even greater america. -- [cheers applause and applause]]

[cheering] you aboutow i told his character and his conviction? his decency and grace? the traits we have seen every day he has served our country in the white house. [cheering] also told you about our daughters, how they are the heart of our hearts, the center of our world and during our time in the white house, we have had the joy of watching them grow from bubbly little girls into poised young women. a journey that started soon

after we arrived in washington when they set off for the first day at the new school. i will never forget that winter morning as i watched our girls, just seven and 10 years old pile into those black suvs with all those men with guns. [laughter] and that's all their little faces pressed up against the window and the only thing i could think was, what have we done? [laughter] at that moment, i realized that our time in the white house would form the foundation of who they would become. and how well we manage this experience could truly make or break them. that is what rock and i think about -- barack and i think about everyday as he tried to guide and protect our girls from the challenges of this unusual life and the spotlight. ignoreurged them to those who question their father

citizenship or faith. [cheering] insist that the hateful language they hear from public figures on tv does not represent the true spirit of this country. [cheering] explain that when someone is cruel or acts like a bully, you don't stoop to their level. our motto is, when they go low, we go high. [cheering] with every word we utter, with every action we take, we know our kids are watching us. we as parents are the most important role model. let me tell you, barack and i take that same approach to our jobs as president and first lady wordse we know that our and actions matter, not just to our girls, but the children across this country. [cheering]

kid to tell as i saw you on tv, i wrote the report on you for school. kids like the little black boy who looked up at my husband, his eyes wide with hope and he wondered, as my hair like yours? [cheering] it, thisistake about november, when we get to the polls, that is what we are decided. not democrat or republican, not left to right, in this election, and every election, it is about who will have the power to shape our children for the next four or eight years of their lives. [cheering] i am you tonight because in this election, there is only one person who i trust with that responsibility, only one person who i believe is truly qualified to be president of the united states and that is our friend

hillary clinton. [cheering] that is right. [cheering] i trust hillary to lead this country because i have seen her lifelong devotion to our nations children. not just her own daughter who she has written protection -- raised to perfection. but every child who needs a champion. kid to take the long way to school to avoid the gangs. kids who wonder how they will ever afford college. n'ts whose parents do speaker word of english but dream of a better life. who look to us to dream of what they can be.

hillary has spent decades doing the relentless work to actually make a difference in their lives. [cheering] advocating for kids with disabilities as a young lawyer fighting for children health care as first lady and for quality childcare in the senate. and when she did not win the nomination eight years ago, she did not get angry or disillusioned. [cheering] hillary did not pack up and go home because as a true of exurban, hillary knows that this is so much bigger than her own disappointment. [cheering]

she probably stepped up to serve our country once again as secretary of state traveling the globe to keep art kids safe. kids say. there were budget moments when hillary could have decided that this work was too hard, that the price of public service was too high, that he was tired of being active part for how she looked or how she talked or even how she laughed. thing, what i admire most about hillary is that she never buckles under pressure. she never takes the easy way out. and hillary clinton has never quit on anything in her life. [cheering] and when i think about the kind of president that i want for my girls and all our children, that is what i want.

i want someone with the proven strength to persevere. somebody who knows this job and takes it seriously. somebody who understand that the issues of our nation are not black or white. it cannot be boiled down to 140 characters. [cheering] because when you have the nuclear codes at your fingertips and the military in your command , you can't make snap decisions. you can't have a thin skin or a tendency to lash out. you need to be steady and measured and well-informed. [cheering] i want a president without --

with a record of public service. someone who's life work shows our children that we don't chase fame and fortune for ourselves, we fight to give everyone a chance to succeed. [cheering] arewe get back even when we struggling ourselves because we know that there there is someone worse off. i the grace of god, go by. i want a president who will teach our children that everyone in this country matters. believesnt that truly in the patient that our founders put forth all those years ago that we are all created equal, each a beloved part of the great american story. [cheering] when crisis hits, we don't turn against each other, we listen to each other. we lean on each other. together.ays stronger [cheering]

i am here tonight because i know that that is the kind of president hillary clinton will be and that is why in this election, i'm with her. [cheering] you see, hillary understands that the president is about one thing and one thing only, it is about leaving something better for our kids. that is how we have always moved this country forward by all of us coming together on behalf of our children. team,eering to coach the teach the sunday school class, because they know it takes a village. [cheering] heroes of every color and creed who wear the uniform and risk

their lives to pass on those blessings of liberty, police officers and protesters in dallas who all that really want to keep our children safe, people who lined up in orlando to donate blood because it could have been their son, or the daughter in the club. [cheering] leaders like tim kaine. [cheering] who show our kids what decency and devotion look like. leaders like hillary clinton who have the guts and the grace to keep coming back and putting those cracks in the highest and hardest glass ceiling until they finally breakthrough lifting all of us along with her. [cheering]

that is the story of this country. the story that has brought me to the stage tonight. the story of generations of people who felt the lash of bondage, the shame of servitude. the sting of segregation who caps on striving and hoping and doing what needed to be done so that today, i wake up every morning and a house that was built by slaves. [cheering] daughter's, two beautiful intelligent black young women played with the dog on the white house lawn. [cheering] and because of hillary clinton, my daughters and all of our sons

and daughters now take for granted that a woman can be president of the united states. [cheering] don't let anyone ever tell you that this country is not great. that somehow we need to make a great again. because this right now is the greatest country on earth. [cheering] and as my daughter per person set out on the world, i want a leader who is worthy of that

let's get to work. thank you all and god bless. [cheering] ♪

gentlemen, please welcome representative joseph kennedy the third from massachusetts. ♪ >> thank you. thank you thank you. [cheering] my first day of law school, my very first class, the goal escape unscathed. not three seconds in, and i get the first question. kennedy, what is the definition of a subset? uhh. you realize it is the first word

in your reading? yeah. i circled it coveted not know what it meant. -- because i did not know what it meant. do you have a dictionary? that is what people do when they don't know what a word means. unprepared forup professor elizabeth warren ever again. [cheering] she was the toughest teacher on campus but the wait list for her class was a mile long. she pushed us hard, she brought out our best and she believed in us and she believed in the law. not as an abstraction, but as a living force with the power to make life better or worse. in the society for

wages had not budged in 40 years. where 2.5 milling children are homeless. where we can expect one in three black men to go to prison. laws have human consequences. that fueled a logical professor to take on this country's most entrenched financial interest. brought middle class champion back to a message to -- massachusetts senator. first-term senator become our government that check. a sea of power and privilege, and anchor for the voiceless and the demise. she asks more from all those because she believes deeply in each of us. country andn our

the american people is the very foundation of our credit party. already.atic it echoes through the arena tonight and every classroom, senator warrenat has ever touched. ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to introduce to you, your senator, my senator, our senator senator elizabeth warren. [cheering] >> thank you. thank you massachusetts for the

great honor of serving as your senator. thank you. [cheering] what a night. wow. michelle obama, cory booker. [cheering] and we still have burning coming up. -- bernie coming up. [cheering] us what democrats fight for every day. thank you, bernie. [cheering] we are here tonight because america faces a choice. the choice of a new president. man who inherited a fortune from his father and kept it going by teaching people, why skipping out on that. a man who has never sacrificed anything for anyone.

himselfo cares only for , every minute of every day. side, it's one of those smartest, toughest, most tenacious people on this planet, children,o buy for women, health care, human rights. a woman who fights for all of us it is strong enough to win this fight. [cheering] today because our choice is hillary clinton. i'm with hillary. [cheering] i'm with hillary. [cheering] for me, this choice is personal. it is about who we are as a people, what kind of a country we want to be. i grew up in oklahoma.

my daddy ended up as a maintenance man. my mom worked a minimum wage job. my three brothers served in the military. oldest was a career, 288, missions. the second, construction. the third started his own small business. 19, graduatedat from a commuter college in texas that cost $50 a semester. [cheering] the way i see it, i'm a janitor's daughter became a public school teacher, a professor in the united states senator. is truly a country of opportunity. [cheering] i'm deeply grateful to that america. i believe in that america. but i'm worried. i'm worried that my story is locked in the past.

worried that opportunity is slipping away for people who work hard and play by the rules. look around. americans that their tail, some working two or three jobs. wages stay flat. meanwhile, the basic cost of making a month-to-month keeps going up. housing, health care, child care. the cost are out of sight. young people are getting crushed by student loans. working people are in debt. seniors can't stretch a social security check to cover the basics and even families who are ok today worry that it could all fall apart tomorrow. this is not right. [cheering] it is not. here's the thing, america is not going broke. the stock market is breaking records. corporate profits are at

all-time highs. ceos make tens of millions of dollars. there is light lot of wealth in america but it is not trickling down to hard-working families like yours. [cheering] does anyone here have a problem with that? [cheering] i do too! people get it. the system is rigged. [cheering] it is true. so-called experts claim america is in trouble because both political parties in washington refused to compromise. gridlock. that is just wrong. [cheering] washington works great for those at the top. when jack companies want more tax loopholes, washington got it done. companiesenergy

wanted to tear up our department, washington got it done. when an enormous wall street breaks wanted loopholes, washington got it done. no gridlock there. but try to do something, anything for working people, you will have a fight on your hands. democrats have taken on those bites. that is what we do. [cheering] fought to get health insurance for more americans. the regrets but for a strong consumer agency so big banks can't keep -- cheat people. we improve the lives of millions of people. thank you, barack obama. [cheering] yes, we won but republicans and

lobbyists battled us every step of the way. five years later, that consumer agency has returned $11 billion to families who were treated -- cheated and republicans, they are still trying to kill it. thatot someone who thinks republicans are always wrong and democrats are always right. there is enough blame to go around. but there is a huge difference between people fighting for a level playing field and the people fighting to keep the system rigged. [cheering] look at congress. since the republicans took over. refinancingopose student loans. and republicans said no. democrats proposed ending tax breaks for corporations that ship jobs overseas. republicans said no.

democrats opposed raising the minimum wage and republicans, they said no. to every republican in congress who said no, this november, the american people are coming for you. [cheering] that is right. [cheering] where was donald trump and all of these bites -- fights? not once did he lived a finger to help working people. and why would he? his whole life has been about taking advantage of that rigged system. time after time, he prayed on working people people in debt.

it that followed on hard times. he the fraud at them and he has ripped them off. look at his history. donald trump said he was excited for the 2008 housing crash that devastated millions of americans because he thought it would help him get more real estate on the cheap. donald trump set up a fake university to make money by teaching people and taking their life savings. on andtrump goes on and on. about being a successful isinessman, by filing this bankruptcy six times, always to protect his own money and stick the investors and contractors with the bills. >> boo! >> donald trump hired construction workers and painters to do hard labor for his businesses and that he told

them, you get only a fraction of what he owes and fights the lawyers and courts for years. >> boo! >> what kind of a man acts like that? what kind of a man roots for an economic crash that cost millions of people their jobs, their homes, their life savings? what kind of a man cheats students and investors and workers? i will tell you what kind of a man. a man who must never be president of the united states. [cheering] never. [cheering] leaders toot the make it happen. hillary clinton and tim kaine. [cheering]

donald trump knows that the american people are angry. can see itbvious he from the top of the trump tower. now, he is insisting that he, and he alone can fix the rigged system. last week, donald trump spoke for more than an hour on the biggest stage he has ever had, but other than talking about building a stupid wall, which will never get built -- [laughter] wall, did yout hear anything, any actual ideas? >> no!

>> did you hear even one solid proposal from trump to increase income or improving your kids education? or creating even one single good paying job? >> no! it, donald trump has no real plans for college kids or for seniors. no plans to make anything great for anyone. except rich guys like donald trump. just look at his ideas. donald trump was to get rid of the federal minimum wage. donald trump wants to roll back financial regulations and turned wall street loose to wreck our economy again. plannald trump has a tax that gives multimillionaires and billionaires like himself an average tax cut of $1.3 million a year. >> boo! >> if you are struggling to put

your kid third college and donald trump thinks he needs a don'tn-dollar tax break, touch entire campaign is just one more late-night trump infomercial. hand over your money, your job, your children's future and that trump audio machine will reveal all the answers [cheering] . [cheering] and for one low price, he will even throw in a juicy had -- goofy hat. [laughter] here is the really ugly underside to his pitch, trump thinks he can win votes by fanning the flames of fear and hatred. by turning neighbor against neighbor. by persuading you that the real problem in america is your fellow americans.

people who don't look or talk like you or don't worship like you. he even pick the vice president famous for trying to make it legal to openly discriminate against gays and lesbians. >> boo! >> that it donald trump to america. and america here and hate. apart.ica where we break white against blacks and latinos. christians against muslims and jews. straight against day. everyone against immigrants. race, religion, heritage, gender, the more factions the better. this, whenrself white lakers -- what workers in ohio are pitted against black workers in north carolina or latino workers in florida, who really benefits? divide and conquer is an old story in america. dr. martin luther king knew it. after his march from selma to about how, he spoke

segregation was created to keep people divided. instead of higher wages for workers, dr. king described how poor white in the south were fed jim crow which told of poor white worker that no matter how bad off you are, at least he was a white man better than the black man. racial hatred was part of keeping the powerful on top. [cheering] when we turn on each other, anchors can run our economy from wall street. oil companies can fight off linn energy. giant corporations can ship the last good jobs overseas. when we turn on each other, rich guys like trump can push through more tax breaks for themselves and then we will never have enough money to support our

schools, or rebuild our highways or reinvest in the kids futures. when we turn on each other, we can't unite to fight back against a rigged system. [cheering] ,'ve got news for donald trump the american people are not falling for it. [cheering] we have seen this ugliness before and we are not going to hate filledump's america, not now, not ever. [cheering] this is about our values. about our shared values with our candidate hillary clinton and tim kaine. [cheering] let's talk about those values. we believe that no matter who you are, no matter where you are

love,no matter who you equal means equal. hillary will fight to make sure discrimination has no place in america and we are with her. [cheering] we believe that no one who works full-time should live in poverty. hillary will fight for raising the minimum wage, or scheduling, paid family and medical leave and we are with her. [cheering] we believe every kid in america should have a chance for a great education without getting crushed by debt. hillary will fight for refinancing student loans and debt free college. we are with her. [cheering] believe that after a

lifetime of hard work, seniors should be able to retire with dignity. hillary will fight to expand social security, medicare, and protect our retirement account and we are with her. [cheering] we believe that oil companies should not call the shots in washington. that science matters, that climate change is real. [cheering] preserveill fight to this earth for our children and grandchildren and we are with her. [cheering] we believe, and i can't believe inave to say this in 2016, equal pay for equal work and a warm and -- woman's right to control over her own body. hillary will fight for women and

we are with her. [cheering] believe we don't need weaker rolls on wall street, we need stronger rules and when big banks get too risky, break them up. bigary will fight to hold bank accountable and we are with her. [cheering] believe that the united find tradeld never deals that helped corporations that leaves workers and the dirt.hillary will fight for american workers and we are with her. [cheering] ok. and just one more, just one more. must get big money out of politics and root out corruption.

[cheering] hillary will fight to overturn citizens united and return this government to the people. [cheering] if you believe that america must work for all of us, not just the rich and powerful, if you believe we must reject the politics of fear and division, if you believe that we are stronger together, then let's work our hearts out to make a literary poco coming to the next president of the united states. together to make hillary clinton the next president of the united states. [cheering] thank you. [cheering]

[cheering] trump, he wants to divide and conquer us with his ,nti-muslim, anti-mexican anti-worker message. they don't want us to vote. they want to push voter id laws that block black and latino voters. paul ryan want even allow a vote to restore voting rights act. we must push back. not voting is--

not a protest, it is a surrender. [cheering] fear, we bring the bring the kurds. when they bring the division, we bring the unity. [cheering] proudroud, and that's a bernie sanders supporter, -- [cheering] i will always remember feeling the bern in minnesota. [cheering] there are my minnesotans over there. 6000 in the. 14,000, st. paul. bernie started the beginning of a revolution. [cheering] he packed them in from davenport to detroit. yorktown -- your town to my. 13 million americans voted for progressive dies and millions

more made an investment in building that movement $27 at a time. [cheering] together, together we call for justice. we call for racial justice. we call for wage justice.

let me be as clear as i can be. this election is not about, and has never been about, hillary clinton, or donald trump, or bernie sanders or any of the other candidates who sought the presidency. this election is not about political gossip. it's not about polls. it's not about campaign strategy. it's not about fund-raising. it's not about all the things the media spends so much time discussing. [cheering] this election is about, and must be about, the needs of the american people and the kind of

future we create for our children and grandchildren. [cheering] this election is about ending the 40-year decline of our middle class. [cheering] reality that 47 million men, women and children live in poverty. it is about understanding that if we do not transform our economy, our younger generation will likely have a lower standard of living then their parents. this election is about ending the grotesque level of income and wealthne
