Raphael Warnock

Well, as we say in Georgia, God bless his heart.

Katsotaanpa, että pohjoisjärven ihmiset kestävät, kuten esitit aiemmin seuraavassa segmentissä. Puhun paljon niistä ihmisistä. Voitko kuvitella, että nuori henkilö, joka käsittelee syrjintäkanseraa, nyt näkee, että hänen rahoitusprosenttejaan on kasvanut seitsemän kertaa? Ollaan todella selkeämmät, mitä se tarkoittaa monille ihmisille, että he eivät voi tarjota rahoitusta.

We see that all across our state. I personally know folks who started small businesses and were doing pretty good because they were able to get healthcare on the exchange. Now with these premiums going way up, they're literally having to shutter their businesses.

Järjestäjät, jotka sanovat, että he eivät halua rahaa, eivät halua apua, tekevät Trumpin huonoja tariffipolitiikkoja. Joukossa on haastavaa, ihmiset yrittävät tehdä parhaan elämänsä Trumpin huonoista poliiseista. Ja kun he katsovat presidentin, kuten sinä voisit tehdä jotain ekonomiasta,

If he's not sleeping in cabinet meetings, he's watching cable news and tweeting against his political adversaries in the middle of the afternoon. Man, you're the leader of the free world. People actually need you to bring relief. And I'm not worried about his attacks on me. I'm going to keep on doing everything I can for the people of Georgia. For me, this is a sacred trust to be able to bring their needs to the seat of power in our federal government.

Yleisöllä on paljon rahaa, jolloin amerikkalaiset ja kulttuurit sanovat, että mitä sellaista tapahtuu? Donald Trumpin kysymys viime päivänä, kuinka hän valmistaisi ekonomin, hän sanoi, että hän antaisi sen A+++++. Ja sinut jätettiin rauhassa, kun hän sanoi, että kuka hän puhuu? Tietysti hän puhuu itseään.

He's never had it so good. His family has never been as wealthy as it is right now. This is naked corruption in real time. And what I'm concerned about is that we've watched this awful movie so long that we become spiritually and morally numb. And we just say, oh, that's just the way it is. Well, we need to shake ourselves and remember, no, that's not the way it should be. And while he's trying to divide us,

We have witnessed the largest transfer of wealth from the bottom to the top in American history thanks to the one awful and ugly bill. He's giving tax cuts to his billionaire friends while imposing a tariff tax on everyday goods, which means he's taxing the rest of us. And as you see your utility bills go up, there's a reason for that.

Donald Trump told his friends in the oil and gas industry that you give me a billion dollars to get me reelected. I mean, he said that in the mic. Give me a billion dollars and I'll give you a good return on your investment. And so as you're watching your utility bills go up, know that he has pulled green energy off of the grid, which, by the way, is cheaper these days. So we've witnessed that generational fall.

Thanks to technology and advancements and investments. Solar and wind would do us a lot of good right now, but he's pulling all of that off the grid. And that's one of the reasons why you're seeing your utility bills go up. And sadly, it's going to get worse.

As a pastor, I would appeal to my Christian brother, because he wears his Christian identity on his sleeve. I'm a Matthew 25 Christian, where Jesus said, I was hungry and you fed me.

Jumala sanoi, että olin syvällä ja sinä tuli nähdä minua, sinä keskustelit minua. Minä olin ystävä ja sinä ilmoitit minua ja joku kysyi Jumalaa, kun olit syvällä, kun olit syvällä, kun olit syvällä? Ja hän sanoi, että niin kauan kuin olet tehnyt sitä, mitä olet tehnyt, olet tehnyt sitä myös minulle.

You can't claim to love God whom you have not seen and not love your sister or your brother whom you see every day. Public policy is our values made real and come alive in the world. And so he can send the Congress, send the House on vacation. But the people in my state right now who are literally opening up the portal and they're seeing their health care bills double, triple.

quadruple. They don't get a vacation from that kind of misery. We ought to be working overtime in this body to create the conditions for human thriving,

to ensure that working people have a path, that they can make it, that every child has a chance. And for me, not only is that an obligation I have to the people who have elected me in political terms, it's a covenant. And we can do so much better than this.

He yrittävät vahvistaa huolta. Olemme nähneet hallituksen päätöksiä, joita he tekevät, ja heidän luonnollisuuttaan. Toinen asia, jota he yrittävät tehdä, on vahvistaa alueella. He yrittävät vahvistaa meitä. He yrittävät vahvistaa meitä, että olemme vallassa yhdessä. He yrittävät vahvistaa meitä, että ei ole tarvitse vahvistaa. He yrittävät vahvistaa huolta.

The thing about this holy season is that it is the season of light. For Christians it's Christmas. For my Jewish sisters and brothers it's Hanukkah. It's the season of light. One of my favorite scriptures says that the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness overcometh it not. I know I'm talking to folks who may not claim any particular religious tradition, and that's fine. Just hear me out. It is the recognition that there is darkness in the world.

It's honest. It's an honest recognition. And yet the light shines in the darkness. I would call on all of us.

To be that light shining through the darkness. Don't give up. Don't give in. Don't give up. Straighten up your back. Know that we've seen hard times before. We've seen strong men before. We've seen tyrants before. I think about my parishioner, John Lewis, crossing that Edmund Pettus Bridge with brute force under the color of law on the other side of that bridge.

He had no reason to think that he could win, but he kept on walking. And not only did he cross a bridge, he built the bridge. And many of us in my generation crossed that bridge. I crossed it over into the United States Senate. And so we have to keep fighting the good fight, keep the faith and draw closer to one another and toward one another rather than on one another.
