[applause] >> thank you, supervisor campos. thank you for being here today, and also for showing up at the rally, like you always do for the lgbt community. i would also like to think the community against violence and a lot of the prominent organizations that always stand up for transgender people, who stood up for me whenever i needed them most. unfortunately, as you are aware, a lot of these agencies are about to receive cuts, cuts that are huge, cuts that could jeopardize the very existence of the work they do. i hope we can see this as a reminder thatsafety, you know, t peopl

i think it's courageous. and i don't think it's going anywhere for the simple reason, look at clarence and eleanor and their response -- [everyone talking at once] >> debate is another question. >> it's not fair to put the whole burden of deficit reduction on poorer people in this country. there's no revenue increases. hedon go after oil subsidies. he keeps tax breaks in place and adds more to the wealthy. it's not -- it's not a document. >> if you look at medicare -- if you look at the medicare reforms, an element of it is means testing. he's going to give more to people who are sicker why. are you give medicare to people upper middle-class and better? paul ryan is courageous up in knuff to take that on and is getting attacked by it. >> that's the kind of debate -- >> what about social security? >> it's not a crisis. 2037 it's solvent. until then and even then -- [everyone talking at once] >> why are there caps on social security? [everyone talking at once] >>> don't want to save social security but that's t

well, to pick one of your words, courage. we are both very taken with human courage. our heroes have been people who had the guts to stick up for what they believed in, and we saw that there had been no one looking at music being used to gather people in a cause as a phenomenon. the two biggest events in the last 50 years in american history were civil rights movement and the vietnam war. civil rights movement was all activism. all. vietnam war-- strongly affected by it, strongly affected the outcome, strongly affected the length of that war. we know that now. we looked at this, and we said, "jeez, you know, nobody's looking at it as what it is." how did it get here? where did it-- nobody mandated, "there shall be benefits," you know? how did this come about? well, right away, you run into the name pete seeger. right away you run into woody guthrie. we--i asked david to research it, and david came back with, there is no other work written on this subject, and that was irresistible to us. you know, we feel very strongly about it. we knew we had an advantage if we went

[applause] i have to ask the first and most basic question. you graduate from harvard in 1956. five. '55. with great distinction. no, i was a terrible student. [laughter] i was in the bottom third of my class. that was the heart of my question. how badly did you do at harvard? [laughs] i think i had-- i mean, i think it's true of a lot of people in journalism. i had in those days what we didn't know was attention deficit disorder. i did not focus well on schoolwork, but i was good at something called journalism. i was on the undergraduate newspaper. and i can now think back to the fifth and sixth grade, and if i had a teacher that did not connect with me, i can see my mind sort of flying out the window. but i didn't know that then. well, i assumed the great distinction because you were the editor of the harvard crimson

and you have to be courageous and go ahead and sing. that path you took professionally and politically began with a rented national guitar, is that right? yes. i had been a pianist, and i studied piano seriously with a teacher who wanted me to become a great pianist. and she said she thought i had the stuff. and i had had a debut with the-- with the symphony orchestra playing mozart at 13, but by the time i was 14, i had heard things like, um, ♪ 'twas in the merry month of may ♪ ♪ when the green birds were swellin'. ♪ ♪ a young man on his deathbed lay ♪ ♪ for the love of barbara allen. ♪ and you know, i think mozart and debussy paled in comparison, because i fell in love with folk music, and i never looked back. and i had this national guitar from the rental joint, and it cost--i don't know what it cost-- like $7 a week or something. and it came with jazz lessons. and so i went to the jazz lessons once, and then i abandoned the jazz lessons and concentrated on learning to finger and learning to play the bluetail fly and other songs. and

serve with.bu but in the end it wasd it serving a higher purpose and ta that is what gave me the courage because i believe in something higher for what i had to do in this life. what do i learn from my nine years at the white house? people ask what is it like taking care of the president of the united states? it is a very humbling doperience. the only job that the president the secretary say dr., the president will see you know, .t' when you go to bethesda where they sacked everything at if you look and the waitingar room in the one by one waiting to see the president said then you have a different perspective i traveled with him everywhere, the first family, your with your patient 24 hours a day sickness and in health whether he is not compliant compliant, the food he eats, you can understand and then down the line you can use that.

president, that several pundits have called this republican tea party budget plan courageous -- courageous. mr. president, there's nothing courageous about targeting the most vulnerable people in our society for the overwhelming share of cuts. there's nothing courageous about giving another huge tax cut bonanza to those who have seen their incomes skyrocket in recent years. there's nothing courageous about destroying the retirement security of tens of millions of american seniors including dismantling medicare and hacking away at social security. there's nothing courageous about gutting medicaid, the program that millions of seniors and people with disabilities depend on to pay for things like nursing home care or home health aids. mr. president, let's be clear, there is nothing courageous in this republican tea party budget. to the contrary, i suggest, it is a cowardly budget. it's a bully's budget. and this -- in this budget the powerful and the privileged attack the weak and the vulnerable. we all understand what's going on here. republicans are seizing on the budget crisis as a pretext

bob's courage on the battlefield was no different from his courage in the legislative arena. as pat listed your accomplishments. i said that you would have a tough time today. but you never let anything stand in your way of helping people, giving them a second chance, and particularly helping your beloved veterans. bob spent his entire career fighting to improve the lives of is that -- fellow veterans in making sure the record of the respect and dignity they had earned. in my 37 years of working with bob dole, he was all about serving the of her -- the other man and woman is dignity. i learned from bob dole going all the way back to 1972 as a 29-year-old kid when i got to the senate and had to wait to be sworn in. i learned that although we have multiple obligations to the nation, we only have one truly sacred obligation. we have numerous obligations, but once sacred obligation. that is to prepare those who we sent into harm's way and care for them and their families when they return. it is the premier obligation. it is the first among our nation's obligations. ladies and gen
