Elizabeth Warren

help get paid family leave through the state legislature, help raise the minimum wage. She's out there for working families. She has the receipts. But the second reason, she takes no corporate PAC money. And to me, that gives me a lot of confidence that when Peggy Flanagan says she's working for your family, it's not just words. She really is walking the walk. She's really putting it all in for your family and not

her message in order to attract billionaire donors. And that was a big part of what my speech was about today, is about in the Democratic Party, we cannot be a party that narrows

that grows up our agenda, that doesn't take on hard questions, that doesn't say, backs off from universal childcare because it might mean raising taxes on billionaires, doesn't back off so that we can continue to attract corporate money, so that we can continue to attract billionaires and CEOs of giant companies. This really is the moment. We decide who we are as Democrats.

And I believe we do that because it's right. But I also believe that we got to make clear that we are in this fight for families, not for our billionaire donors, because that's going to be the only way that we can win. You are right. It is a credibility issue. And Democrats

We know how we can prove our credibility, and that is, let's get focused on families and not on corporate PAC money or satisfying billionaires.

Olen tehnyt tämän puheenvuoron ja puhunut kosteista. Q&A-palveluissa minulta kysyttiin Trumpin kriittikortin suunnitelmaa, joka laittoi kappaleita kriittikortilla.

And I said, look, I've been arguing for that for years. And when Donald Trump ran for president, he said that was one of the things he wanted to do. And I said, great, let's do it. And what has he done since then? Not lifted a single finger, right? And I just went on and added, he claims that he wants to reduce housing costs. But what have we heard from him? Nothing on this. So anyway, I...

Puhuin näistä asioista niin kuin minä näen niitä, kun esitin tämän puheenvuoron. Ja sitten, kun se oli loppu, ja minä olin autossa, menossa takaisin täältä, sain puheenvuoron Dot Promista. Tiedän, että se ei ole hauskaa, mutta minun täytyy vain rauhoittaa nyt. Mutta tässä on asia, ja minä todellakin tarkoitan tätä.

I'll work with anybody. And boy, this proves it. I will work with anyone to bring down costs for working families. I want to see a cap on interest rates on credit cards. I think that is a fabulous idea. I've been arguing for it for a long time. And if the president of the United States

is willing to twist some arms in the Republican Senate and the Republican House to get it done, it will help American families and that's what matters to me. Same thing, while I had him on the phone, he called about the credit cards, I said, hey, while I've got you, what about this housing bill?

Joten olemme saaneet sen koko Senaattia. Teemme sen myös Suomessa. Kutsutaan nämä ihmiset Suomessa ja sanotaan heille, että he voivat laittaa tämän lopun. Republikaatit ovat ne, jotka laittavat tämän. Mitä hän sanoo? Katsotaanpa, mitä tapahtuu seuraavaksi. Haluan vain ymmärtää, että tämä ei ole puhuja, vaan se on tehtävää työtä.

Ihmiset tarvitsevat, että me saamme heille. Ja olen valmis hakemaan sitä nyt. Olen valmis kutsumaan Donaldun ja republikaanit, kun he eivät. Mutta olen myös valmis työskennellä heitä, jos he ovat valmiita menemään eteenpäin. Jotain lainsäädäntöä, joka voisi tehdä todellista eroa työpaikkojen kanssa. Siksi olen täällä.

Well, the speech had been about how Democrats need to get out there and fight to lower costs for American families.

I pointed out that Donald Trump had run for office and every day for a year he promised that on day one he would lower costs for American families.

He gets elected and said the reason he got elected was because he promised on day one to lower costs.

It's been a year now and the cost of groceries is up, the cost of health care is up, the cost of housing is up, the cost of utilities is up.

all because of Donald Trump and Republican policies.

And I said it's time both to hold Donald Trump accountable and for Democrats to get in there and put out our proposals to lower costs and to show that we're willing to fight for them.

And after that speech was over, Donald Trump gave me a call.
