meetings and there was nobody and i say nobody that five harder for unions and working people than tom harkin did. tom, thank you so much. [applause] i am going to be very brief. but first of all let me thank wisconsin, montana and alaska for your support. [cheers and applause] i was in montana. we campaigned and my wife jane did the work and alaska. [applause] and that is where we got the largest vote so i don't know. my son is here, there he is. [applause] look i just want to pick up on a few of the points that senator harkin made and the point is first of all this is an unbelievably critical moment in american economic and political history. i don't have to explain to anybody in this room that while we have come a long way economically in the last seven and a half years a republican friends don't talk about it. they don't talk about the economy and that's president obama inherited and the fact that we are losing 800,000 jobs a month and that the world's finances were literally on the verge of collapse. that is what obama and biden inherited and nobody but the most cynical people in the wor

it was spear headed by tom harkin. it was signed into law by george h.w. bush.ut on stage, i am going to introduce with me on set some of the organizers of the convention are not happy but the nomination of the green party for the president of the united states and that's the green party and the delegation. you're here and going to get out and say that you're looking for bernie sanders supporters to come over and vote for you. >> i think that it's fair to say that the supporters are looking for a place and the work that they have been doing and creating the revolution and then seeing this past weekend the treachery behind closed doors being practiced by the committee and by hillary clinton's campaign and the members of the big corporate press that sabotaged his bernie's campaign. >> reporter: you saw the polls that said that 85 percent of sand er's voters say that whatever grudge that they have on the process, they're going to be hillary clinton in the fall. >> there's a variety of polls out there and they say that 80 percent stay and 50 percent stay. i find tha
