00:00Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you all so much. You know, I heard that they were that someone started flying a plane with a banner that said, this is Trump country.
00:21It sure don't look like it today. I don't think this is Trump country. I think this is our country.
00:35Because we're not afraid of them anymore, are we? I want to thank each and every one of you for making the effort to be here today. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
00:51I know it's really not lost on Bernie or myself, the sacrifice that it takes to take the time out of your day to get someone to cover your shift at work, to carpool, to figure out how to be here today.
01:08And we really cannot thank you enough because this is the power of this moment, coming together, being here together, meeting one another.
01:20And I want everyone to look side to side. I want everyone to leave here today, knowing someone new that you didn't know, walking into this on the way out.
01:34Because those are going to be the people right here that are going to change this country and change Folsom in the next year or two. Isn't that right?
01:44My name is Alexandria. Some of you may know me as AOC.
01:57From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for such a warm welcome.
02:02And we are all here together because we share in the frustration and the heartache that comes from watching those in power actively tear down or refuse to fight for everyday working Americans like us.
02:22We are here together because an extreme concentration of power, greed and corruption is taking over our country like never before oligarchy.
02:39And we must acknowledge forthright the terrifying moment that we are in right now, that what we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening.
02:57We are watching as our neighbors, students and friends are being fired, targeted and disappeared.
03:07It is real. People we love are being targeted and harassed just for being LGBTQ.
03:17Our co-workers, U.S. citizens and immigrants alike are being disappeared off the street by men in vans with no uniform.
03:29Educators are being fired for teaching American history accurately.
