And the people of this country need to really ask the question, which they do every day. And I think this election is going to give them the answer. Who is standing by working people in America? Working people. People who work hard every day if they're working one job or three jobs. People who just want others to recognize the dignity of their work and their labor.
Folks who just want to know if I work hard and I do the right thing, am I going to be able to keep a roof over my head and not worry about it? Am I going to be able to feed my kids and not worry about it? Am I going to be able to take a vacation once a year? And whatever. And just... Standing by working people. How do you do that? You have affordable child care. You have paid family leave.

You do not try to destroy organized labor, but you support organized labor and collective bargaining. You support a public education system and fund it instead of right now, which is that public teachers, when school was in normal session, two-thirds were coming out of their own back pocket to help pay for school supplies.

But to your point, we need to have water policy that invests in the storage of water, right? The capture of water, desalination, recycling, conservation. And to do these things is to be smart. And guess what the other thing about it is?

To do a lot of that, it requires building up the infrastructure around it for capture and storage. That's jobs. That's the creation of jobs. You want to talk about plumbers, that's the building trades jobs. That's carpenters. That's bricklayers. That's all of the folks who actually can do the work that is about also protecting our environment and a diminishing resource, which is water.
