We were totally unprepared.
We had to fight a war against Japan, a war against Hitler in Europe, right?
Totally unprepared.
And yet the country came together.
Instead of building cars, they built tanks and planes.
Literally in two or three years, we had put the Nazis on the defensive.
The war was won.
So what I'm saying is this is perhaps the most difficult moment, in my view, in modern American history.
And it's because Trump is an authoritarian who happens not to believe in democracy, and I think he's corrupt, and it's tough.
But we have won great battles in the past, and I believe if we do not allow our people to become divided up,
we will win this as well.
And not only defeat Trumpism, which I worked very hard to do, but also create the kind of nation that we can become.
Healthcare is a human right.
You know what?
If you have some kids, children, they have a right to get all the education they need.
We are not some poor third world country.
So we have got to have a vision of where we want to go as a nation.
And I think if we fight for that vision, if we bring people together, we can succeed.
