kansas city. i was 26 years old. someone is 26 years old, apparently. in a three-way democratic primary in kansas city. nice young man is probably going to come in a distant third. i started knocking on doors. i remember one of the first doors. i was nervous, the fellow asked me a policy question. i answered him. it was clear from the look on his face that he did not agree. obvious. i was brand-new, so i started to do what i saw politicians on tv do, and i started to tell him how our position was the same and we agree. from the look on his face, he was not buying it. thinkted to turn away and him a should i even be running for office? out of frustration or desperation i blurted out, this is what i believe, i am trying to do the right thing. you probably don't agree, but that is where i am at. to my surprise, he replied "that's fair. all vote for you, and you can put a sign in my yard if you want." from that moment on i became addicted to having an honest conversation with voters. i got johnoment on 20,000 doors and i won a race i was not supposed to win. on 20,000 doors and i won a race i was not supposed to win. we simply focus on making our argument, because that is how we will win people over. my experience as a progressive in a red state is that folks are ok with not agreeing with you on everything, as long as they know that you care about everyone, and that includes them, and we do. when i ran for secretary of state in 2012, i employed this again. it was clear the biggest issue in the race was going to be photo id, which i am very much against. 70%, more than 70%, of the voters disagreed with me on that. they were for it. my campaign team said you have to moderate your position. find a way you can be in favor of requiring photo id to vote. i said no. to this day, i am the only democratic candidate for secretary of state anywhere in the country to run a state-wide at about my opposition to photo id. [applause] the same day that president obama lost missouri by 10 points, i won that race. i stood at the polls shaking people's hands, they shook my hand and a lot of people said " you are wrong about photo id." said, "but you are doing what you believe, and i trust you, so you will get my vote today." [applause] works.this i know we can do this. i know we can turn this around. we should be proud that we are among the 54% of voters that voted for someone not named donald trump to be president of the united states. be real, his time in office so far has proven the point of the 54% who voted that way. he has been a disaster. if this was a season of "the apprentice" donald trump would have fired donald trump at the end of the first episode. problem.art of the he really believes that people use to watch that show because of his so-called business brilliance. no. people watched that show for the same reason they watched any reality television, drama. what do we see right now? drama presidency. you cannot run the united states of america on drama. trump seems to care about dividing the country, turning a profit for his company, and flattering vladimir putin. that is what this presidency is about so far. he pretends that he has this mandate from the people, even though he actually lost five more votes than anyone who has ever won the presidency in the history of this country. he lied every day to the american people, and he makes us less safe. sose are his greatest hits far. it has been a month so far. president trump may have won the election, but we are not about to allow him to take away america's greatness. [applause] this fight starts in 2017. north of here there is a special election for congress we need to work on. [applause] we have to make sure we take back the governor's mansion in new jersey and keep it in virginia. [applause] to 2018, where we have a shot at taking the house and senate. this is not far-fetched. there is something happening in this country right now. you can feel it. thatis a level of activism most of us have not seen in our lifetimes. thehe women's march, to protest against an awful immigration policy, to the town halls flooded with people, even in the most conservative districts, saying that they want to see the president held accountable. the 54% of voters are already standing up and fighting back. that is how i know our future is bright. [applause] i know that it feels like we are more polarized than we have ever been. it feels like you cannot talk to -- you cannot go on to facebook and read what your friends from high school said. i know it feels like you cannot talk to that republican brother-in-law you have, but we are closer together than we realize. theye not as divided as like to say. one last story, in army intelligence school and instructor pulled me aside. another,h soldier to he gave me advice. he said lieutenant, do not tell your translator you are jewish because they will not want to work with you. i did not know any better, so i took his advice. when i got to afghanistan i was paired up with a gentleman. it turns out he had family in kansascity. he considered kansas city his hometown. we spent almost every waking moment together. we were in danger situations with shady characters. we spent a lot of time together. i never had a muslim friend i was that close to, so i asked him all sorts of questions about islam. he answered all of them. i never told him i was jewish. on one of my last days in afghanistan, i decided i would tell him because we were close. i made a big production of it. we were eating leftovers at the safe house, and i make a preface and i tell him. he looks at me funny and says "jason, did you think i didn't know that?"
