So this fight is my own, and you can count on me being on the front lines if this happens.

Well, let's start with we've got to speak plainly to the American people about what really matters, right? The things that I think in the hearts of all four of us about standing up for working families, about being the party that fights for the middle class and for the working class and for the most vulnerable in our country.

And we've got to make sure that people understand what we're doing to get things done. Every one of the four governors on here have accomplished really important things in our state. So I'll give you an example in my state. You know, there's a federal minimum wage, $7.25. Nobody can live on $7.25 anymore. It's $14,000 a year if you're working full time. You've got to work.

two to three jobs to take care of your family at $7.25. It's impossible. So in my state, we raised the minimum wage to $15. It was important to us to make sure that we're lifting people out of poverty. If you're going to work full time, you ought to get a wage that's appropriate to that, that you can live on. So that's something that we ought to be talking about federally.

The $7.25 minimum wage, not enough. And Democrats are for raising it. Republicans don't want to raise it. In fact, many of them would like to do away with the minimum wage. So we should be speaking plainly about raising wages. We should be speaking plainly about the fact that we are for universal health care. Every one of us believes that. Health care is a right, not a privilege.

And we can have disagreements about how you get there. Some say Medicare for all. Some say that we ought to expand private insurance to cover more people with a state subsidy, for example, or a federal subsidy, but whatever that is. It's we believe that everybody should have a doctor and that no one should go without. Republicans are trying to take away. You're about to see this.

They're trying to take away Medicaid and Medicare from people who need it most. So I believe that the way to communicate is to start with the simple messages of the things that we believe that are reflective of our values. And then we've got to choose the media response. where messages are really getting to people. And this is one example of it.
