00:00Alexandria, they told us this was a conservative state.
00:12They got it wrong.
00:16Before I go on, I want to say a word about Alexandria.
00:24Yes, she is an excellent congresswoman from New York.
00:34Yes, she has been an inspiration to young people all over the country.
00:42But I want to say something that is even more important about Alexandria.
00:48Six years ago, she was a waitress in New York City.
00:53And she looked around her in a community which has a whole lot of issues.
01:03She looked around her and she said, you know what, we can do better.
01:08So with no money, no organization, she took on one of the most powerful democratic leaders in the U.S. Congress and she beat him.
01:24Now my point is not to grow her ego.
01:36That's not my point in saying that.
01:38My point is to say that in this arena of 12,000 people, there are hundreds of Alexandrias and Josephs and Tom's and Mary's.
01:50And what we are here today is not just to be with you in this rally as wonderful as that is.
02:00We're here for a deeper purpose and that is to understand that in this very, very difficult moment in American history, all of us have got to get outside of our comfort zone.
02:16We have got to do tomorrow what we hesitated to do yesterday.
02:35And as Alexandria just said, when we stand together, when we do not allow them to divide us up by the color of our skin or where we were born or our sexual orientation, there is no stopping us.
