Hi everyone! Hi! Hi everyone! Hi! Oh, it's good to be home!
00:26
Thank you! Oh, hi! I'm Andrea! Hi everyone!
00:30
Thank you all! Thank you! Thank you!
00:34
And Dougie's here too!
00:38
Oh, please have a seat!
00:42
Please have a seat!
00:46
Oh, it's wonderful to be home! And thank you all!
00:50
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
00:54
In 20 years, Andrea! My goodness!
00:58
I mean, your babies are grown!
01:02
Good evening, everyone!
01:04
Thank you for supporting Emerge!
01:06
Thank you for supporting Emerge!
01:08
It is so wonderful to be home and to be back
01:14
with all the leaders who are here
01:16
and to celebrate this extraordinary organization,
01:22
which is an organization of so many exceptional leaders,
01:26
those who found the courage to run for office
01:30
and those who support them.
01:32
Emerge, I will say something you know.
01:36
Throughout my entire career and life,
01:38
I have always believed in the ideals of our nation.
01:42
The ideals reflected in the Declaration of Independence
01:46
that all are created equal and endowed by our Creator
01:52
with certain inalienable rights.
01:56
Ideals advanced and affirmed by the service and sacrifice
02:02
generations of patriots.
02:06
The ideals that ground the Constitution of the United States,
02:10
that here in our country,
02:14
power ultimately lies not with the wealthy or well-connected,
02:24
but with all of us,
02:26
with we the people.
02:32
Now, of course,
02:34
I recognize that America
02:36
has never fully
02:38
lived up to these ideals,
02:40
that for all the gains
02:42
we've made,
02:44
the American dream has
02:46
for decades been slipping
02:48
further out of reach
02:50
for so many,
02:52
and that the American people
02:54
deserve leaders
02:56
who make their lives better
03:00
and make our country stronger.
03:06
But sadly,
03:08
we have seen quite the opposite
03:12
over these past few months.
03:14
Now, I know tonight's event happens to coincide
03:20
with the 100 days
03:22
after the inauguration,
03:26
and I'll leave it to others
03:28
to give a full accounting
03:30
of what has happened so far.
03:34
But I will say this.
03:36
Instead of an administration
03:40
working to advance
03:42
America's highest ideals,
03:44
we are witnessing
03:46
the wholesale abandonment
03:48
of those ideals.
03:50
And what we are also seeing
03:52
in these last 14 weeks
03:54
is Americans using their voice
04:10
and showing their courage.
04:12
and showing their courage.
04:18
We all know President Trump
04:20
and his administration
04:22
and their allies
04:24
are counting on the notion
04:26
that fear can be contagious.
04:30
They are counting on the notion
04:34
that if they make some people afraid,
04:38
it will have a chilling effect
04:40
on others.
04:42
But what they're overlooking,
04:44
what they have overlooked,
04:46
is that fear is not the only thing
04:50
that's contagious.
04:52
courage is contagious.
05:02
The courage of Americans
05:04
who are banding together
05:06
in the face of the greatest
05:08
man-made economic crisis
05:10
in modern presidential history.
05:14
Americans across the political spectrum
05:20
who are declaring
05:22
that the President's reckless tariffs
05:26
hurt workers and families
05:28
by raising the cost
05:30
of everyday essentials,
05:32
devastate the retirement accounts
05:36
that people spent a lifetime paying into,
05:40
and paralyze American businesses,
05:44
large and small,
05:46
forcing them to lay off people,
05:48
to stop hiring
05:50
or pause investment decisions.
05:54
The courage of Americans
05:58
we are seeing who are rallying
06:00
at Social Security offices
06:02
to protect their hard-earned benefits.
06:06
Of Americans who are speaking out
06:08
to say,
06:10
it is not okay
06:12
to violate court orders.
06:14
Not okay.
06:16
say,
06:20
it is not okay
06:22
to detain
06:24
and disappear
06:26
American citizens or anyone
06:28
without due process.
06:36
The courage of judges
06:38
to uphold the rule of law
06:40
law in the face of those
06:42
who would jail them.
06:46
Of universities
06:48
that are defying unconstitutional
06:50
demands that threaten
06:52
the pursuit of truth
06:54
and academic independence.
06:56
And I will tell you,
07:04
the courage of all these Americans
07:06
inspires me.
07:08
And I have been inspired
07:10
by the movements
07:12
like the one in Wisconsin
07:14
that put Susan Crawford on the Supreme Court.
07:16
by the State of the People Power Tour
07:20
by the State of the People Power Tour
07:22
that is aiming to ignite
07:24
a grassroots movement
07:26
to lift up voices
07:28
and advance freedom and justice.
07:30
And by leaders across the spectrum,
07:34
including congressional leaders
07:36
like Cory Booker,
07:38
Chris Van Hollen,
07:40
Chris Murphy,
07:42
Jasmine Crockett,
07:44
Maxwell Frost,
07:46
AOC and Bernie Sanders.
07:48
All who, in different ways,
07:54
have been speaking
07:58
with moral clarity
08:00
about this moment.
08:04
So here's one of the other things
08:06
I wanted to talk about tonight.
08:08
And to highlight.
08:10
So look, some people
08:12
are describing what's been happening
08:14
in recent months
08:16
as absolute chaos.
08:20
And of course, I understand why.
08:22
And it's certainly true
08:24
of those tariffs.
08:26
Tariffs that,
08:28
as I predicted,
08:30
are clearly inviting a recession.
08:34
But friends,
08:36
please let us not be duped
08:38
into thinking
08:40
everything is chaos.
08:42
I know it may feel that way.
08:44
But understand,
08:46
what we are, in fact,
08:50
witnessing
08:52
is a high-velocity event.
08:56
Where a vessel
08:58
is being used
09:00
for the swift implementation
09:02
of an agenda
09:04
that has been decades
09:06
in the making.
09:08
An agenda
09:10
to slash
09:12
public education.
09:14
An agenda
09:16
to shrink government
09:18
and then privatize
09:20
its services.
09:22
All while giving tax breaks
09:24
to the wealthiest among us.
09:26
By the way,
09:28
an agenda that is not
09:30
lowering costs,
09:32
not
09:34
lowering costs,
09:36
not making life
09:38
more affordable,
09:40
and not
09:42
what they promised.
09:44
It's an agenda,
09:48
a narrow,
09:50
self-serving
09:52
vision of America.
09:56
Where they punish
09:58
truth,
10:00
favor loyalists,
10:02
cash in on their power,
10:04
and leave everyone
10:06
to fend for themselves.
10:08
All while abandoning allies
10:12
and retreating from the world.
10:16
And folks,
10:18
what we are experiencing
10:20
right now
10:22
is exactly
10:24
what they envisioned
10:26
for America.
10:28
Right now,
10:30
we are living
10:32
in their vision
10:34
for America.
10:38
But this is not a vision
10:40
that Americans want.
10:42
We are living
10:44
in a moment
10:46
when the checks and balances
10:48
upon which we have historically relied
10:50
have begun
10:52
to buckle.
10:54
And we here know
10:56
that when the checks and balances
10:58
ultimately collapse,
11:00
if Congress fails
11:02
to do its part,
11:04
or if the courts
11:06
fail to do their part,
11:08
or if both
11:10
do their part,
11:12
but the President defies them
11:14
anyway,
11:16
well, friends,
11:17
that is called
11:18
a constitutional crisis.
11:20
And that
11:22
is a crisis
11:24
that will eventually
11:26
impact everyone.
11:28
because it would mean
11:30
that the rules that protect
11:32
our fundamental rights
11:34
and freedoms
11:36
that ensure
11:38
each of us has a say
11:40
about how our government works
11:42
will no longer matter.
11:44
will no longer matter.
11:48
And if that happens,
11:50
the one check,
11:52
the one balance,
11:54
the one power
11:56
that must not fail
11:58
must not fail
12:00
is the voice of the people.
12:04
that will not fail.
12:12
And look,
12:14
right now,
12:16
I know a lot of folks
12:18
are wondering
12:20
what's gonna guide us
12:22
through this moment?
12:24
How are we all going to figure out how to chart the course?
12:30
But that's not a reason to throw up our hands.
12:35
In fact, please allow me, friends, to digress for a moment.
12:38
Okay.
12:40
It's kind of dark in here, but I'm asking a show of hands.
12:43
Who saw that video from a couple of weeks ago?
12:45
The one of the elephants at the San Diego Zoo during the earthquake?
12:49
Google it if you've not seen it.
12:56
So that scene has been on my mind.
12:59
Everybody's asking me, what you've been thinking about these days?
13:01
Well, so in the video, for those who haven't seen it, here those elephants were.
13:11
And as soon as they felt the earth shaking beneath their feet,
13:16
they got in a circle.
13:19
And stood next to each other to protect the most vulnerable.
13:27
Think about it.
13:28
What a powerful metaphor.
13:30
Because we know those who try to incite fear are most effective when they divide and conquer.
13:45
When they separate the herd.
13:50
When they try to make everyone think they are alone.
13:56
But in the face of crisis, the lesson is don't, don't scatter.
14:06
The instinct has to be to immediately find and connect with each other.
14:17
And to know that the circle will be strong.
14:29
So I'll end with this.
14:31
I am not here tonight to offer all the answers, but I am here to say this.
14:36
You are not alone and we are all in this together.
14:42
And straight talk, things are probably going to get worse before they get better.
14:49
But we are ready for it.
14:51
But we are ready for it.
14:54
We are not going to scatter.
14:56
We are going to stand together, everyone a leader, and emerge.
15:05
You have a special role to play.
15:06
You have a special role to play.
15:10
Organizing is as important as ever.
15:15
Mobilizing is as important as ever.
15:19
Running for office is as important as ever.
15:24
So please, everyone here, please keep doing what you are doing.
15:30
And to everyone, let's lock it in.
15:33
Lock it in, lock it in, gear up for the hard work ahead.
15:42
And please, always remember, this country is ours.
15:53
It doesn't belong to whoever is in the White House.
15:57
It belongs to you.
15:59
It belongs to us.
16:02
It belongs to we, the people.
16:09
God bless you.
16:10
And God bless America.
16:11
Thank you all.
16:12
Thank you all.
16:13
Thank you all.
