00:00 Hello, Philadelphia! How are you guys doing today?

00:04 [Cheers]

00:06 Alright, listen, we're here for a really good reason today.

00:12 One day you're going to look back on this day and you're going to say, "I was there on that day when something really special happened."

00:20 I want to thank you all so much for being here.

00:26 It means a lot to me and I know it means a lot to my husband, Robert Kennedy Jr.

00:33 [Cheers]

00:35 So thank you.

00:39 We all love Bobby.

00:42 Well, you know, it's interesting because I've been traveling around with Bobby across the country

00:48 and something's been happening that I've never seen happen before.

00:53 He draws crowds and they are full of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents.

01:01 All in one place.

01:03 [Cheers]

01:06 So what that's telling me is that Americans want to work together.

01:15 They want someone to bring them together and make this country better.

01:23 [Cheers]

01:28 So that's what Bobby's ready to do.

01:30 He is ready to fight for the working class American because he's been doing it all his life.

01:38 I've been watching him do it.

01:40 As a matter of fact, you know, he's an environmental attorney and for decades he's been fighting against

01:48 these big corporations, these corrupt corporations that were stealing from the working class American.

01:56 I was in San Francisco when Bobby and his law firm stood up against Monsanto.

02:07 [Cheers]

02:10 On behalf of one man, a man named Mr. Johnson, who was a groundskeeper at a school

02:17 and he would wear Roundup weed killer on a tank on his back and do his job, kill the weeds,

02:26 spray the lawn, and he started developing lesions on his back.

02:31 He reached out to Monsanto and told them what was happening, could this possibly be caused by Roundup,

02:40 and Monsanto never responded.

02:43 So Mr. Johnson went back to work.

02:46 He kept using the Roundup.

02:49 He got sicker and sicker and developed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

02:57 And Bobby and his law firm sued Monsanto.

03:02 They proved that Monsanto did indeed see these messages.

03:07 They saw what Mr. Johnson had said and how he had reached out,

03:12 and they didn't respond because they were making too much money.

03:17 So Bobby has stood up for the little guy, for the average person who's just trying to make a living.

03:28 He's been doing that all his life.

03:30 They won the Monsanto suit, which of course, yeah,

03:34 [Cheers]

03:36 and then that of course opened up to other suits because Roundup is killing people.

03:42 So one thing I know about Bobby is if he hears that can't be done or you can't do it,

03:52 it only sparks a fire in him and it makes him fight harder.

03:58 [Cheers]

04:01 So I'm here to tell you that Bobby is ready to fight for you guys.

04:05 Are you ready for him to fight for you?

04:08 [Cheers]

04:12 Okay. One more time. I just want to hear it one more time.

04:15 Are you really ready for Bobby Kennedy?

04:19 [Cheers]

04:23 Okay. Okay.

04:26 All right, listen, I know you didn't come here to hear me talk.

04:30 I--thank you. One person.

04:32 Oh, two people, two people. Thank you.

04:37 I am not going to make you wait any longer.

04:42 The moment you've been waiting for, we're all dying to hear from Bobby.

04:48 So why don't you please make a lot of noise and welcome

04:52 the next president of the United States of America, Robert Kennedy Jr.

04:58 [Cheers]
