This footage was filmed and produced 21 February 2023. [WARNING: Violent and sensitive content] Police in Wisconsin shot and killed a 31-year-old armed suspect following a high-speed chase on February 21. Body-cam and dash-cam footage, as well as CCTV footage of the incident, was released by the Milwaukee Police Department on April 7. The suspect, Herman Lucas, fled from a traffic stop and led police on a chase before crashing his vehicle at a petrol station and attempting to flee on foot. He was shot by an officer after allegedly refusing to drop his weapon. Officers dragged Lucas' body by one foot, which generated criticism when footage of the incident surfaced on social media. An investigation into the shooting is ongoing, and the officer responsible for shooting Lucas has been placed on administrative duty

The female driver pulls over on Leo Frigo bridge, gets out, jumps off the bridge and is caught by a police officer STORYLINE There was a dramatic rescue in Green Bay, Wisconsin on Monday morning when a policeman prevented a woman from jumping off the Leo Frigo Bridge. Trooper Les Boldt of the Wisconsin State Patrol was chasing a car driving at high speed. The driver, identified only as a 36 year-old woman, reached 100 miles per hour (160.9 kilometres per hour) during the chase. She did not stop until she reached the top of the Leo Frigo Bridge on Interstate 43. She got out of her car, walked to the railing and jumped. At the same time, Boldt got out of his police car and ran to the railing. Remarkably, Boldt was able to catch the woman and pull her to safety with the help of other officers who had arrived on the scene. Officials say Boldt was treated for minor injuries and the woman was taken to the hospital.

On Monday police released dramatic videotape of the incident shot from a dashboard camera installed in a police car. The chase happened last Thursday when the suspect, 23-year-old Dana Bettin, fled after he was allegedly involved in a domestic dispute. With the child of the alleged victim still strapped into a baby seat in the car, Bettin rammed a Wisconsin State Patrol car near Appleton and continued north on US Highway 41 into Brown County, police said. The chase reached speeds of around 100 mph (160 kph). At one point, however, Bettin slowed down and tossed out the baby, who was still buckled into a baby capsule. Bettin then sped off, eventually smashing into a Brown County Sheriff's squad car and rolling the car. He was pinned underneath the car and later died of his injuries in hospital. The baby was recovered unharmed by officers.

A wild car chase caught on camera ended in a crash in Wisconsin.KSTP picked up the chase in progress shortly after 1 p.m. on the MnDOT traffic cameras on Highway 36 near Interstate 694.A dark pickup truck was seen swerving in and out of traffic, narrowly missing dozens of cars. Several minutes later, the truck crossed the centerline of Highway 36 and was driving directly into traffic as it headed toward Stillwater.Cameras caught various law enforcement vehicles in pursuit, attempting on at least two occasions to use roadside stop sticks. The driver evaded the tire-puncturing devices each time as it crossed over the new bridge spanning the St. Croix from Stillwater into Wisconsin.A law enforcement source confirmed to KSTP the suspect has been identified as Jeffrey Morgan Groves, 51.KSTP crews were en route to Wisconsin when the truck drove onto Interstate 94 in Hudson, once again driving head-on into traffic the wrong way.Cameras captured the truck as it took the WI 35 exit south toward River Falls.Around 2:15 p.m., a KSTP crew reached the scene where a multi-car crash took place moments before. The KSTP crew could see the truck that appeared to be the vehicle from the chase had crashed and appeared to roll off the side of the highway.St. Louis Park Police said a woman reported that a man had broken into her home overnight on Nov. 3, adding that she'd been sexually assaulted by the suspect, who also forced her to go to two ATMs in the metro area and forced her to withdraw cash for him.A law enforcement source tells 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS the chase started at Highway 61 and Interstate 494 when the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force tried to execute an arrest warrant on that suspect Wednesday in Newport, Minnesota. The suspect fled with U.S. marshals in pursuit.Those involved in the chase included U.S. Marshals, the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office, the Washington County Sheriff's Office, the St. Croix County Sheriff's Office, the North Hudson Police Department and the Hudson Police Department. A news release from the U.S. Marshals Service said the crash ended with a pit maneuver in Hudson, Wisconsin.The suspect was taken to Regions Hospital for treatment of serious injuries, but police said he's in custody for probable cause burglary, criminal sexual conduct and unrelated Ramsey County warrants. Investigators will work with the Hennepin County Attorney's Office on issuing formal criminal charges.A KSTP reporter on scene captured images of the aftermath.

TRANSCRIPT: President Obama Remarks at Northwestern University - STIX DC SLUG: 1540 WH IL PATH1 REFEED RS33 73 NYRS: WASH3 DISC#: 929 15:42:41 PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Hello, Evanston! (Cheers, applause.) Hello, Northwestern! (Cheers, applause.) Thank you so much. Everybody, have a seat, have a seat. It is so good to be here. Go, Cats. (Cheers, applause.) I want to thank your president, Morty Schapiro, and the dean of the Kellogg Business School, Sally Blount, for having me. I brought along some guests. Your governor, Pat Quinn, is here. (Cheers, applause.) Your senator, Dick Durbin, is here. (Cheers, applause.) Your congresswoman, Jan Schakowsky, is here. (Cheers, applause.) We've got some folks who represent the Chicagoland area in Congress and do a great job everyday: Danny Davis, Robin Kelly, Mike Quigley, Brad Schneider. (Applause.) We've got your mayor, Elizabeth Tisdell. (Cheers, applause.) Where's Elizabeth? There she is. One of my great friends, former chief of staff, the mild-mannered mayor of Chicago -- (laughter) -- Rahm Emanuel is here. (Applause.) 15:44:04 It is great to be back home. It's great to be back -- (applause) -- great to be back in Northwestern. Back when I was a senator, I had the honor of delivering the commencement address for the class of 2006. (Applause.) And as it turns out, I've got a bunch of staff who graduated from here, and so they're constantly lobbying me about stuff, and so earlier this year I popped in via video to help kick off the dance marathon. (Laughter, applause.) I figured this time I'd come in person -- (laughter) -- not only because it's nice to be so close to home but it's also just nice to see old friends, you know, people who helped to form how I think about public service, people who helped me along the way. You know, Toni Preckwinkle was my alderwoman before -- (cheers, applause) -- and was a great supporter. Lisa Madigan, your attorney general, was my seatmate. You know, State Senator Terry Link was my golf buddy. You know, so you've got people here who I've just known for years and really not only helped me be where I am today but helped develop how I think about public service. And I'm also happy to be here because this is a university that is brimming with the possibilities of a new economy: your research and technology, the ideas and the innovation, the training of doctors and educators and scientists and entrepreneurs. You can't help but visit a campus like this and feel the promise of the future, and that's why I'm here, because it's going to be young people like you and universities like this that will shape the American economy and set the conditions for middle-class growth well into the 21st century. 15:46:10 And obviously recent months have seen their fair share of turmoil around the globe. But one thing should be crystal clear: American leadership is the one constant in an uncertain world. It's America -- our troops, our diplomats -- that lead the fight to degrade and ultimately destroy the terrorist group known as ISIL. It's America -- our doctors, our scientists, our know-how -- that leads the fight to contain and combat the Ebola epidemic in West Africa. It's America -- our colleges, our graduate schools, our unrivaled private sector -- that attracts so many people to our shores to study and start businesses and tackle some of the most challenges problems in the world. When alarms go off somewhere in the world, whether it's a disaster that is natural or man-made; when there's an idea or an invention that can make a difference -- this is where things start. This is who the world calls, America. They don't call Moscow. They don't call Beijing. They call us. And we welcome that responsibility of leadership because that's who we are. That's what we expect of ourselves. But what supports our leadership role in the world is ultimately the strength of our economy here at home. And today, I want to step back from the rush of global events to take a clear-eyed look at our economy -- its successes and its shortcomings -- and determine what we still need to build for your generation, what you can help us build. 15:48:14 As Americans, we can and should be proud of the progress that our country's made over these past six years. And here are the facts, because sometimes the noise clutters and I think confuses the nature of the reality out there. Here are the facts: When I took office, businesses were laying off 800,000 Americans a month. Today, our businesses are hiring 200,000 Americans a month. (Applause.) The unemployment rate has come down from a high of 10 percent in 2009, to 6.1 percent today. (Applause.) Over the past four and a half years, our businesses have created 10 million new jobs. This is the longest uninterrupted stretch of private sector job creation in our history. Think about that. And you don't have to applaud, because I'm going to be giving you a lot of good statistics. (Laughter, applause.) Right now, there are more job openings than at any time since 2001. All told, the United States has put more people back to work than Europe, Japan and every other advanced economy combined. I want you to think about that. We have put more people back to work here in America than Europe, Japan and every other advanced economy combined. Now, this progress has been hard, but it has been steady and it has been real. 15:50:07 And it's the direct result of the American people's drive and their determination and their resilience. But it's also the result of sound decisions made by my administration. So it is indisputable that our economy is stronger today than when I took office. By every economic measure, we are better off now than we were when I took office. At the same time, it's also indisputable that millions of Americans don't yet feel enough of the benefits of a growing economy where it matters most, and that's in their own lives. And these truths aren't incompatible. Our broader economy in the aggregate has come a long way, but the gains of recovery are not yet broadly shared -- or at least not broadly shared enough. We can see that homes in our communities are selling for more money and that the stock market's doubled, and maybe the neighbors have new health care or a car fresh off an American assembly line. And those are good things. But the stress that families feel -- that's real, too. It's still harder than it should be to pay the bills and to put away some money. Even when you're working your tail off, it's harder than it should be to get ahead. And this isn't just a hangover from the Great Recession. I've always said that recovering from the crisis of 2008 was our first order of business, but I also said that our economy won't be truly healthy until we reverse the much longer and profound erosion of middle-class jobs and incomes. 15:51:59 So here's our challenge. We're creating more jobs at a steady pace. We've got a recovering housing market, a revitalized manufacturing sector - - two things critical to middle-class success. We've also begun to see some modest wage growth in recent months. And all of that has gotten the economy rolling again, despite the fact that economies of many other countries around the world are softening. But as Americans, we measure our success by something more than our GDP or a jobs report. We measure it by whether our jobs provide meaningful work, they give us a sense of purpose, and whether it allows folks to take care of their families. And too many families still work too many hours with too little to show for it. Job growth could be so much faster, and wages could be going up faster if we made some better decisions going forward, with the help of Congress. So our task now is to harness the momentum that is real, that does exist, and make sure that we accelerate that momentum, that the economy grows and jobs grow and wages grow. That's our challenge. 15:53:!6 When the typical family isn't bringing home any more than it did in 1997, that means it's harder for middle-class Americans to climb the ladder of success. It means that it's harder for poor Americans to grab hold of the ladder into the middle class. That's not what America is supposed to be about. It offends the very essence of who we are, because if -- if being an American means anything, it means we believe that even if we're born with nothing, regardless of our circumstances, our last name, whether we were wealthy, whether our parents were advantaged, no matter what our circumstances, with hard work, we can change our lives and then our kids can too. And that's about more than just fairness. It's -- it's more than just the ideal of what America's about. When middle-class families can't afford to buy the goods or services our businesses sell, it actually makes it harder for our economy to grow. Our economy cannot truly succeed if we're stuck in a winner-take-all system where a shrinking few do very well while a growing many are struggling to get by. Historically, our economic greatness rests on a simple principle: when the middle class thrives and when people can work hard to get into the middle class, then America thrives. And when it doesn't, America doesn't. 15:54:55 This is going to be a central challenge of our times. We have to make our economy work for every working American. And every policy I pursue as president is aimed at answering that challenge. 15:55:08 Over the last decade we learned the hard way that it wasn't sustainable to have an economy where too much of our growth was based on inflated home prices and bubbles that burst and a casino mentality on Wall Street, where the recklessness of a few could threaten all of us, where incomes at the top skyrocketed while working families saw theirs decline. That was not a formula for sustained growth. We need an economy that's built on a rock, and that -- a rock that is durable and competitive, and that's a steady source of good middle-class jobs. When that's happening, everybody does well. 15:55:45 So that's why on day one, when I took office, with Rahm and Dick Durbin and others who were working with us, I said we would rebuild our economy on a new foundation for growth and prosperity. And with dedicated, persistent effort, we've actually been laying the cornerstones of this foundation every single day since. 15:56:09 So I mentioned earlier that there's not an economic measure by which we're not better off than when we took office, but let me break down what we've also been doing structurally to try to make sure that we have a strong foundation for growth going forward. 15:56:26 The first cornerstone is new investments in the energy and technologies that make America a magnet for good, middle-class jobs. So right off the bat, as soon as I came into office, we upped our investments in American energy to reduce our dependence on foreign oil and strengthen our own energy security. 15:56:44 And today, the number-one oil and gas producer in the world is no longer Russia or Saudi Arabia; it's America. (Applause.) For the first time in nearly two decades, we now produce more oil than we buy from other countries. We're advancing so fast in this area that two years ago I set a goal to cut our oil imports by half by - in half by 2020, and we've actually - we will meet that goal this year, six years ahead of schedule. (Applause.) 15:57:29 So that's in the traditional fossil fuel area, but at the same time we've helped put tens of thousands of people to work manufacturing wind turbines and installing solar panels on homes and businesses. We have tripled the electricity we harness from the wind. We have increased tenfold what we generate from the sun. We have brought enough clean energy online to power every home and business in Illinois and Wisconsin 24/7. 15:57:58 And that's the kind of progress that we can be proud of and, in part, accounts for the progress we have also made in reducing carbon emissions that cause climate change. And I know that here at Northwestern, your researchers are working to convert sunlight into liquid fuel, which sounds impossible or at least really hard. (Laughter.) But the good news is, if you need to get the hard or the impossible done, America and American universities are a pretty good place to start. 15:58:34 Meanwhile, our 100-year supply of natural gas is a big factor in drawing jobs back to our shores. Many are in manufacturing, which produce the quintessential middle-class job. During the last decade, it was widely accepted that American manufacturing was in irreversible decline, and just six years ago, its crown jewel, the American auto industry, could not survive on its own. With the help of folks like Jan and Dick and Mike Quigley and others, we helped our automakers restructure and retool. Today they're building and selling new cars at the fastest rate in eight years. 15:59:16 We invested in new plants, new technologies, new high-tech hubs like the Digital Manufacturing and Design Institute that Northwestern has partnered with in Chicago. Today, American manufacturing has added more than 700,000 new jobs. It's growing almost twice as fast as the rest of the economy. And more than half of all manufacturing executives have said they're actively looking at bringing jobs back from China. 15:59:44 To many in the middle class, the last decade was defined by outsourcing good jobs overseas. If we keep up these investments, we can define this decade by what's known as "insourcing," with new factories now opening their doors here in America at the fastest pace in decades. And in the process, we've also worked to grow American exports and open new markets, knock down barriers to trade, because businesses that export tend to have better-paying jobs. So today our businesses sell more goods and services made in America to the rest of the world than ever before - ever. And that's progress we can be proud of. 16:00:25 Now, we also know that many of these manufacturing jobs have changed. You're not just punching in and pounding rivets anymore. You're coding computers and you're guiding robots. You're mastering 3D printing, and these jobs require some higher education or technical training. And that's why the second cornerstone of the new foundation we've been building is making sure our children are prepared and our workers are prepared to fill the jobs of the future. 16:00:58 America thrived in the 20th century because we made high school free. We sent a generation to college. We cultivated the most educated workforce in the world. But it didn't take long for other countries to look at our - our policies and caught on to the secret of our success. So they set out to educate their kids, so they could out-compete our kids. We have to lead the world in education once again. (Cheers, applause.) 16:01:39 That's why we launched a Race to the Top in our schools, trained thousands of math and science teachers, supported states that raised standards for learning. Today teachers in 48 states and D.C. are teaching our kids the knowledge and skills they need to compete and win in the global economy. Working with parents and educators, we turned around some of the country's lowest-performing schools. We're on our way to connecting 99 percent of students to high-speed Internet and making sure every child at every seat has the best technology for learning. 16:02:16 And look, let's face it, some of these changes are hard. Sometimes they cause controversy. And we have a long way to go. But public education in America is actually improving. Last year, our elementary and middle school students had the highest math and reading scores on record. The dropout rates for Latinos and African-Americans are down. (Applause.) The high school graduation rate -- the high school graduation rate is up. It's now above 80 percent for the first time in history. 16:02:51 We've invested in more than 700 community colleges -- which are so often gateways to the middle class -- and we're connecting them with employers to train high school graduates for good jobs in fast-growing fields like high-tech manufacturing, and energy, IT and cybersecurity. Here in Chicago, Rahm just announced that the city will pay community college tuition for more striving high school graduates. We've helped more students afford college with grants, and tax credits, and loans. 16:03:20 And today, more young people are graduating than ever before. We've sent more veterans to college on the Post-9/11 GI Bill -- including several veterans here at Northwestern, and a few of us -- (applause) -- few of them are in this hall today. And we thank them for their service. (Applause.) So we've made progress on manufacturing and creating good jobs. We made progress on education. 16:03:50 Of course, even if you have the right education, for decades one thing that made it harder for families to make ends meet and businesses to grow was the high cost of health care. And so the third cornerstone had to be health care reform. In the decade before the Affordable Care Act, aka "Obamacare" -- (laughter, cheers, applause) -- in the decade before the Affordable Care Act, double-digit premium increases were common. CEOs called them one of the biggest challenges to their competitiveness. And if your employer didn't drop your coverage to avoid these costs, they might pass them on to you and take them out of your wages. 16:04:41 Today, we've seen a dramatic slowdown in the rising cost of health care. When we passed the Affordable Care Act, the critics were saying, what are you doing about cost? Well, let me tell you what we've done about cost. If your family gets your health care through your employer, premiums are rising at a rate tied for the lowest on record. And what this means for the economy is staggering. 16:05:08 If we hadn't taken this on and premiums had kept growing at the rate they did in the last decade, the average premium for family coverage today would be $1,800 higher than they are. Now, most people don't notice it, but that's $1,800 you don't have to pay out of your pocket or see vanish from your paycheck. That's like a $1,800 tax cut. That's not for folks who signed up for "Obamacare," that's the consequences of some of the reforms that we've made. 16:05:44 And because the insurance marketplaces we created encourage insurers to compete for your business, in many of the cities they've announced that next year's premiums -- well, something important is happening here -- next year's premiums are actually falling in some of these markets. One expert said this is defying the law of physics. (Laughter, applause.) But we're getting it done. And it is progress we can be proud of. 16:06:11 So we're -- we're slowing the cost of health care and we're covering more people at the same time. In just the last year, we reduced the share of uninsured Americans by 26 percent. That means one in four uninsured Americans, about 10 million people, have gained the financial security of health insurance in less than one year. 16:06:37 And for young entrepreneurs, like many of you here today, the fact that you can compare and buy affordable plans in the marketplace, frees you up to strike out on your own, chase that new idea, something I hope will unleash new and -- new services and products and enterprises all across the country. So the job lock that used to exist because you needed health insurance, you're free from that now. You can go out and do something on your own and get affordable health care. 16:07:10 And meanwhile, partly because health care prices have been growing at the slowest rates in nearly 50 years, the growth in what health care costs the government is down also. I want everybody to listen carefully here because when we were debating the Affordable Care Act, there was a lot of complaining about how we couldn't afford this. The independent, nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office recently reported that in 2020, Medicare and Medicaid will cost us $188 billion less than projected just four years ago. And here's what that means in layman's terms. Health care has long been the single biggest driver of America's future deficits. It's been the single biggest driver of our debt. Health care is now the single biggest factor driving down those deficits. 16:08:06 And this is a game-changer for the fourth cornerstone of this new foundation: getting our fiscal house in order for the long run so we can afford to make investments that grow the middle class. Between a growing economy, some prudent spending cuts, health care reform and asking the wealthiest Americans to pay a little bit more on their taxes, over the past five years we've cut our deficits by more than half. When I took office, the deficit was nearly 10 percent of our economy. Today it's approaching 3 percent. In other words -- (applause) -- in other words, we can shore up America's long-term finances without falling back into the mindless austerity or manufactured crises or trying to find excuses to slash benefits to seniors that dominated Washington budget debates for so long. 16:09:08 And finally, we put in place financial reform to protect consumers and prevent a crisis on Wall Street from hammering Main Street ever again. We have new tools to prevent "too big to fail," to stop taxpayer-funded bailouts. We made it illegal for big banks to gamble with your money. We established the first-ever consumer watchdog to protect consumers from irresponsible lending or credit card practices. We secured billions of dollars in relief for consumers who get taken advantage of. And working with states attorney general like Lisa Madigan, we've seen industry practices changing. 16:09:52 Now, an argument you'll hear oftentimes from critics is that the way to grow the economy is just to get rid of regulations, free folks up from the oppressive hand of the government. And you know, it turns out, truth be told, there are still some kind of dopey regulations on the books. (Laughter.) There are regulations that are outdated or are no longer serving a useful purpose. And we have scrubbed the laws out there and identified hundreds that are outdated that don't help our economy, that don't make sense. And we're saving businesses billions of dollars by gradually eliminating those unnecessary regulations. 16:10:45 But yet to contrast that with rules that discourage a casino-style mentality on Wall Street, or rules that protect the basic safety of workers on the job, or rules that safeguard the air our children breathe and keep mercury or arsenic out of our water supply -- these don't just have economic benefits. These are rules that save lives and protect families, and I'll always stand up for those. And they're good for our economy. 16:11:18 So here's the bottom line. For all the work that remains, for all the citizens that we still need to reach, what I want people to know is that there are some really good things happening in America -- unemployment down, jobs up, manufacturing growing, deficits cut by more than half, high school graduations up, college enrollment up, energy production up, clean energy production up, financial system more stable, health care costs rising at a slower rate. Across the board, the trend lines have moved in the right direction. 16:12:14 That's because this new foundation is now in place: new investments in the energy and technologies that create new jobs and new industries; new investments in education that will make our workforce more skilled and competitive; new reforms to health care that cut costs for families and businesses; new reforms to our federal budget that will promote smart investments and stronger -- a stronger economy for future generations; new rules for our financial system to protect consumers and prevent the kinds of crises we endured from happening again. 16:12:47 You add it all up and it's no surprise but that for the first time in more than a decade, business leaders from around the world -- these are business surveys; Kellogg, you're familiar with these. (Laughter.) Business leaders from around the world have said that the world's most attractive place to invest is not India or China. It's the United States of America. And that's because the financial sector is healthier; because manufacturing is healthier; because the housing market is healthier; because health care inflation is at 50-year low; because our energy boom is at new highs. Because of all these things, our economy isn't just primed for steadier, more sustained growth. America is better poised to lead and succeed in the 21st century than any other nation on Earth. We've got the best cards. 16:13:48 And I will not allow anyone to dismantle this foundation because for the first time we can see real, tangible evidence of what the contours of the new economy will look like. It's an economy teeming with new industry and commerce and humming with new energy and new technologies; and bustling with highly skilled, higher-wage workers. It's an America where a student graduating from college has the chance to advance through a vibrant job market and where an entrepreneur can start a new business and succeed and where an older worker can retool for that new job. 16:14:28 And to fully realize this vision requires steady, relentless investment in these areas. We can't let up and we cannot be complacent. We have to be hungry as a nation. We have to compete. When we do -- if we take the necessary steps to build on the foundation that through some really hard work we have laid over the last several years -- I promise you, over the next 10 years we'll build an economy where wage growth is stronger than it was in the past three decades. It is achievable. 16:15:00 So let me just talk a little more specifically about what we should be doing right now. First of all, we've got to realize that the trends that have battered the middle class for so long aren't ones we're going to reverse overnight. The facts I just laid out don't mean that there aren't a lot of folks out there who are underpaid, they're underemployed, they're working long hours, they're having trouble making ends meet. I hear from them every day. I meet with them. And it's heartbreaking, because they're struggling hard. And there are no silver bullets for job creation or faster wage growth. Anybody who tells you otherwise is not telling the truth. But there are policies that would grow jobs and wages faster than we're doing right now. 16:15:50 If we rebuild roads and bridges, because we've got $2 trillion of deferred maintenance on our infrastructure, we won't just put construction workers and engineers on the job. We will revitalize entire communities and connect people to jobs and make it easier for businesses to ship goods around the world. And we can pay for it with tax reform that actually cuts rates on businesses but closes wasteful loopholes, making it even more attractive for companies to invest and create jobs here in the United States. Let's do this and make our economy stronger. 16:16:27 If we make it easier for first-time homebuyers to get a loan, we won't just create even more construction jobs and speed up recovery in the housing market; we'll speed up your efforts to grow a nest egg and start a new company and send your own kids to college and graduates -- and graduate school someday. So let's help more young families buy that first home, make our economy stronger. 16:16:49 If we keep investing in clean energy technology, we won't just put people to work on the assembly lines, you know, pounding into place the zero-carbon components of a clean energy age; we'll reduce our carbon emissions and prevent the worst cost of climate change down the road. Let's do this, invest in new American energy and make our economy stronger. 16:17:18 If we make high-quality preschool available to every child, not only will we give our kids a safe place to learn and grow while their parents go to work; we'll give them the start that they need to succeed in school and earn higher wages and form more stable families of their own. In fact, today I -- I'm setting a new goal. By the end of this decade, let's enroll 6 million children in high-quality preschool. That is an achievable goal that we know will make our workforce stronger. (Applause.) 16:17:57 If we redesign our high schools, we'll graduate more kids with the real-world skills that lead directly to a good job in the new economy. If we invest more in job training and apprenticeships, we'll help more workers fill more good jobs that are coming back to this country. If we make it easier for students to pay off their college loans, we'll help a whole lot of young people -- AUDIENCE MEMBER: Yes! (Cheers, applause.) PRESIDENT OBAMA: -- breathe easier and feel freer to take the jobs they really want. 16:18:28 So look, let's do this. Let's keep reforming our education system to make sure young people at every level have a shot at success, just like folks at Northwestern do. 16:18:42 If we fix our broken immigration system, we won't just prevent some of the challenges like the ones that we saw at the border this summer; we'll encourage the best and brightest from around the world to study here and stay here and create jobs here. Independent economists say that a big bipartisan immigration reform bill that the House has now blocked for over a year would grow our economy, shrink our deficits, secure our borders. Let's pass that bill. (Applause.) Let's make America stronger. 16:19:17 If we want to make and sell the best products, we have to invest in the best ideas, just like you do here at Northwestern. Your nanotechnology institute doesn't just conduct groundbreaking research; that research has spun off 20 startups and more than 1,800 products. (Applause.) That means jobs. 16:19:37 And here's another example. Over a decade ago, America led the international effort to sequence the human genome. One study found that every dollar we invest returned $140 to our economy. Now I don't have an MBA, but that sounds like a good return on investment. (Laughter, applause.) 16:19:54 Today, though, the world's largest genomics center is in China. That doesn't mean America is slipping. It does mean America isn't investing. We can't let other countries discover the products and businesses that will shape the next century and the century after that, so we've got to invest more in the kinds of basic research that led to Google and GPS, and makes our economy stronger. 16:20:24 If we raise the minimum wage, we won't just put -- (applause) -- we won't just put more money in workers' pockets; they'll spend that money at local businesses, who in turn will hire more people. In the two years since I first asked Congress to raise the national minimum wage, 13 states and D.C. went ahead and raised theirs, and more business owners are joining them on their own. It's on the ballot in five states this November, including Illinois. (Applause.) 16:21:02 And -- and here's the thing. Recent surveys show that a majority of small business owners support a gradual increase to $10.10 an hour. A survey just last week showed that nearly two-thirds of employers thought the minimum wage should go up in their state and more than half of them think it should be at least $10. So what's stopping us? Let's agree that nobody who works full time in America should ever have to raise a family in poverty. Let's give America a raise. It'll make our economy stronger. (Cheers, applause.) 16:21:49 If we make sure a woman is paid equal to a man for her efforts -- (cheers, applause) -- that -- that is not just giving women a boost. Gentlemen -- (laughter) -- you want your wife making that money that she has earned. (Laughter, cheers, applause.) It give the entire family a boost. And it gives the entire economy a boost. Women now outpace men in college degrees, they -- and graduate degrees. But they often start their careers with lower pay. And that gap grows over time. And that affects their families. It's stupid. (Laughter.) Let's inspire and support more women -- (applause) -- especially in fields like science and technology and engineering and math. (Applause.) Let's catch up to 2014 -- (laughter) -- pass a fair pay law, make our economy stronger. 16:22:54 And while we're at it, let's get rid of the barriers that keep more moms who want to work from entering the workforce. Let's do what Dean Blount here at Kellogg. She's been working with us on at the White House helping business and political leaders who recognize that flexibility in the workplace and paid maternity leave are actually good for business. (Applause.) And let's offer that deals to dads too, because we want to make sure that they can participate in childrearing. And let's make sure work pays for parents who are raising young kids. It's a good investment. California adopted paid leave, which boosted work and earnings for moms with young kids. Let's follow their lead. Let's make our economy stronger. 16:23:39 Now, none of these policies I just mentioned on their own will entirely get us to where we want to be. But if we do these things systematically, the cumulative impact will be huge. Unemployment will drop a little faster, which means workers will gain a little more leverage when it comes to wages and salaries, which means consumer confidence will go up, which means families will be able to spend a little more and save a little more, which means our economy grows stronger and growth will be shared. More people will feel this recovery, rather than reading about it in the newspapers. That's the truth. 16:24:30 And I'm going to keep making the argument for these policies, because they are right for America. They are supported by the facts. And I'm always willing to work with anyone, Democrat or Republican, to get things done. And every once in a while, we actually see a bill land on my desk from Congress. I'm -- (laughter) -- and -- and we do a bill signing. And I look at the members and I say -- I tell them, look now how much fun this is. Let's do this again. (Laughter, applause.) Let's do it again. (Applause.) 16:25:12 But if gridlock prevails, if cooperation and compromise are no longer valued but vilified, then I'll keep doing everything I can on my own if it will make a difference for working Americans. (Cheers, applause.) I will keep teaming up with governors and mayors and CEOs and philanthropists who want to help. Here's an example: There are 28 million Americans who would benefit from a minimum wage increase -- 28 million. Over the past two years -- because we teamed up with cities, states, and businesses and went around Congress -- seven million of them have gotten a raise. So until Congress chooses to step up and help all of them, I will keep fighting to get an extra million here and an extra million there with a raise. We'll keep fighting for this. 16:26:03 And let me say one -- one other thing about the economy, because oftentimes you hear this from the critics. The notion is that the agenda I've just outlined is somehow contrary to pro-business, capitalist, free market values -- and since we're here at a business school, I thought it might be useful to point out that Bloomberg, for example, I think came out with an article today saying that corporate balance sheets are the strongest just about that they've ever been. Corporate debt is down. Profits are up. Businesses are doing good. So this idea that somehow, any of these policies, like the minimum wage or fair pay or clean energy are somehow bad for business is simply belied by the facts. It's not true. And if you talk to business leaders, even the ones who really don't like to admit it because they don't like me that much -- (laughter) -- they'll admit that actually, their balance sheets look really strong and that this economy is doing better than our competitors around the world. So don't -- don't buy this notion that somehow this is a anti-business agenda. This is a pro-business agenda. This is a pro-economic growth agenda. 16:28:03 I'm not on the ballot this fall. Michelle's pretty happy about that. (Laughter.) But make no mistake: These policies are on the ballot, every single one of them. This isn't a -- some official campaign speech or political speech, but -- and I'm not going to tell you who to vote for, although I suppose it's kind of implied. (Laughter, applause.) 16:28:41 But -- but what I have done is laid out my ideas to create more jobs and to grow more wages. And I've also tried to correct the record because as I said, there is a lot of noise out there. Every item I ticked off, those are the facts. It's not conjecture. It's not opinion. It's not partisan rhetoric. I -- I just laid out facts. 16:29:10 So I laid out what I've -- I know has happened over the six years of my presidency so are, and I've laid out an agenda for what I think should happen to make us grow even better, grow even faster. A true opposition party should now have the courage to lay out their agenda, hopefully also grounded in facts. 16:29:37 There's a reason fewer Republicans are preaching doom on the deficits. It's because the deficits have come down at almost a record pace, and they're now manageable. There' s a reason fewer Republicans, you head them running around about Obamacare, because while good, affordable health care might seem like a fanged threat to the freedom of the American people on Fox News -- (laughter) -- it turns out it's working pretty well in the real world. (Cheers, applause.) 16:30:15 Now, when push came to shove this year and Republicans in Congress actually had to take a stand on policies that would help the middle class and working Americans -- like raising the minimum wage enacting fair pay or refinancing student loans or extending insurance for the unemployed -- the answer was "no." The one thing they did vote "yes" on was another massive tax cut for the wealthiest Americans. 16:30:39 In fact, just last month, at least one top Republican in Congress said that tax cuts for those at the top are -- and I'm quoting here -- "even more pressing now" than they were 30 years ago. "More pressing." (Laughter.) When nearly all the gains of the recovery have gone to the top 1 percent, when income inequality is at as high a rate as we've seen in decades, I find that a little hard to swallow that they really desperately need a tax cut right now. It's urgent. (Laughter.) Why? (Laughter.) What are the facts -- what is the empirical data that would justify that position? Kellogg Business School, you guys are all smart. You do all this analysis, you run the numbers. Has anybody here seen a credible argument that that is what our economy needs right now? 16:31:44 Seriously. (Laughter.) But this is the -- if you watch the debate, including on the -- some of the business -- news -- casts. (Laughter.) And the -- and folks are just pontificating about how important this -- based on what? What's the data? What's the proof? If there were any credible argument that says, when those at the top do well, and eventually, everybody else will do well, it would have borne itself out by now. We'd see data that that was true. It's not. 16:32:25 American economic greatness has never trickled down from the top. It grows from a rising, thriving middle class and opportunity for working people. That's what makes us different. (Cheers, applause.) So I just want to be clear here, because you guys are going to be business leaders of the future. And you're going to be making decisions based on logic and reason and facts and data. And right now, you've got two starkly different visions for this country. 16:33:06 And I believe with every bone in my body that there's one clear choice here, because it's supported by facts. And this is our moment to define what the next decade and beyond will look like. This is our chance to set the conditions for middle-class growth in the 21st century. The decisions we make this year and over the next few years will determine whether or not we set the stage for America's greatness in this century just like we did in the last one, whether or not we restore the link between hard work and higher wages, whether or not we continue to invest in a skilled, educated citizenry, whether or not we rebuild an economy where everyone who works hard can get ahead. 16:33:54 And some of that depends on you. There is a reason why I came to a business school instead of the school of government. I actually believe that capitalism is the greatest force for prosperity and opportunity the world has ever known, and I believe in private enterprise, not government, but innovators and risk-takers and makers and doers driving job creation, but I also believe in a higher principle which is, we're all in this together. That's the spirit that made the American economy work. (Applause.) That's what made the American economy not just the world's greatest wealth creator, but the world's greatest opportunity generator. 16:34:43 And because you're America's future business leaders and civic leaders, that makes you the stewards of America's greatest single asset, and that's our people. So as you engage in the pursuit of profits, I challenge you to do so with a sense of purpose. As you chase your own success, I challenge you to cultivate more ways to help more Americans chase their success. 16:35:12 It is the American people who have made the progress of the last six years possible. It is the American people who will make our future progress possible. It is the American people that make American business successful. And they should share in that success. It's not just for you; it's for us, because it's the American people that made the investments over the course of generations to allow you and me to be here and experience this success. That's the story of America. America is a story of progress. Sometimes halting, sometimes incomplete, sometimes harshly challenged, but the story of America is a story of progress. And it's now been six long years since our economy nearly collapsed, despite that shock -- through the pain that so many fellow Americans felt, for all the gritty, grueling work required to come back, all the work that's left to be done, a new foundation is laid. A new future is yet to be written. And I am as confident as ever that that future will be led by the United States of America. Thank you, everybody. God bless you. God bless America.

A car being chased by police in Wisconsin is hit by a train -- and it's all caught on tape! La Crosse police say they were pursuing the stolen truck when it got stuck on the tracks. The officer's dash cam was rolling when the train hit the truck -- just moments after police arrested the driver. The train dragged the truck about two-hundred feet.

Universal International Newsreel

President Barack Obama speech on the Economy and Jobs at Milwaukee AFL-CIO Laborfest Event in Milwaukee, Wisconsin SLUG: 1345 WH MIL PATH1 RS33/x83 AR: 16x9 Disc: 885 / 361 Missing very top of President Barack Obama speech 15:15:30 So it is good to be back in Milwaukee. Of course, this isn't my first time at Laborfest. I stood right here with you two years ago, when I was still a candidate for this office. During that campaign, we talked about how, for years, the values of hard work and responsibility that built this country had been given short shrift, and how that was slowly hollowing out our middle class. About how some on Wall Street took reckless risks and cut corners to turn huge profits, while working Americans were fighting harder and harder just to stay afloat. And about how the decks were too often stacked in favor of the special interests and against working Americans. What we knew, even then, was that these years would be some of the most difficult in our history. And then, two weeks later, the bottom fell out of the economy. Middle-class families suddenly found themselves swept up in the worst recession in our lifetimes. 15:16:55 So the problems facing working families are nothing new. But they are more serious than ever. And that makes our cause more urgent than ever. For generations, it was the great American middle class that made our economy the envy of the world. It's got to be that way again. It was folks like you, after all, who forged that middle class. It was working men and women who made the twentieth century the American century. It was the labor movement that helped secure so much of what we take for granted today - the 40-hour work week, the minimum wage, family leave, health insurance, Social Security, Medicare, retirement plans, those cornerstones of middle class security that all bear the union label. 15:18:16 And it was that greatest of generations that built America into the greatest force for prosperity, opportunity and freedom the world has ever known. Americans like my grandfather, who went off to war just boys, returned home men, and traded one uniform and set of responsibilities for another. Americans like my grandmother, who rolled up their sleeves and worked in factories on the home front. When the war was over, they studied under the GI Bill; bought homes under the FHA; raised families buttressed by good jobs that paid good wages with good benefits. It was through my grandparents' experience that I was brought up to believe that anything is possible in America. But they also knew the feeling when that opportunity is pulled out from under you. They would tell me about seeing their fathers or uncles losing jobs during the depression; how it wasn't just the loss of a paycheck that stung. It was the blow to their dignity; their sense of self-worth. I'll bet a lot of us have seen people changed after a long bout of unemployment; how it can wear down even the strongest spirits. 15:20:11 So my grandparents taught me early on that a job is about more than a paycheck, as important as that is. A job is about waking up every day with a sense of purpose, and going to bed each night fulfilled. A job is about meeting your responsibilities to yourself, to your family, to your community. I carried that lesson with me all those years ago when I got my start fighting for men and women on the South Side of Chicago after their local steel plant shut down. I carried that lesson with me through my time as a state senator and a U.S. Senator. I carry that lesson with me today. And I know that there are folks right here in Milwaukee and all across America who are going through these kinds of struggles. Eight million Americans lost their jobs in this recession. And while we've had eight straight months of private sector job growth, the new jobs haven't been coming fast enough. Now, the plain truth is, there's no silver bullet or quick fix to the problem. Even when I was running for this office, we knew it would take time to reverse the damage of a decade's worth of policies that saw a few folks prosper while the middle class kept falling behind - and it will take more time than any of us wants to dig out of the hole created by this economic crisis. But on this Labor Day, there are two things I want you to know, Milwaukee. Number one: I'm going to keep fighting, every single day, to turn this economy around; to put our people back to work; to renew the American Dream for your families and for future generations. 15:22:45 Number two - and this I believe with every fiber of my being: America cannot have a strong, growing economy without a strong, growing middle class, and the chance for everybody, no matter how humble their beginnings, to join that middle class. A middle class built on the idea that if you work hard and live up to your responsibilities, you can get ahead - and enjoy some basic guarantees in life. A good job that pays a good wage. Health care that'll be there when you get sick. A secure retirement even if you're not rich. An education that'll give our kids a better life than we had. These are simple ideas. American ideas. I was thinking about this last week. On the day I announced the end to our combat mission in Iraq, I spent some time, as I often do, with our soldiers and veterans. This new generation of troops coming home from Iraq has earned its place alongside that greatest generation. Like them, they have the skills and training and drive to move America's economy forward once more. And from the time I took office, we've been investing in new care, new opportunity, and a new commitment to their service that's worthy of their sacrifice. But they're coming home to an economy hit by recession deeper than any we've seen. And the question is, how do we create the same kind of middle class opportunity my grandparents' generation came home to? How do we build our economy on the same kind of strong, stable foundation for growth? 15:25:21 Well, anyone who thinks we can move this economy forward with a few doing well at the top, hoping it'll trickle down to working folks running faster and faster just to keep up - they just haven't studied our history. We didn't become the most prosperous country in the world by rewarding greed and recklessness. We didn't come this far by letting special interests run wild. We didn't do it by just gambling and chasing paper profits on Wall Street. We did it by producing goods we could sell; we did it with sweat and effort and innovation. We did it by investing in the people who built this country from the ground up - workers, and middle-class families, and small business owners. We did it by out-working, out-educating, and out-competing everyone else. 15:27:39 Milwaukee, that's what we're going to do again. That's what's been at the heart of all our efforts: building our economy on a new foundation so that our middle class doesn't just survive this crisis - but thrives once we emerge. And over the last two years, that's meant taking on some powerful interests who had been dominating the agenda in Washington for too long. That's why we passed financial reform that provides new accountability and tough oversight of Wall Street; reform that will stop credit card companies from gouging you with hidden fees and unfair rate hikes; reform that ends the era of taxpayer bailouts for Wall Street once and for all. 15:28:34 That's why we eliminated tens of billions of dollars in wasteful taxpayer subsidies to big banks that provide student loans. We're using those savings to put a college education within reach for working families. That's why we passed health insurance reform that will make coverage affordable; reform that ends the indignity of insurance companies jacking up your premiums at will or denying you coverage just because you get sick; reform that shifts control from them to you. 15:29:52 That's why we're making it easier for workers to save for retirement, with new ways of saving your tax refunds, a simpler system for enrolling in plans like 401(k)s, and fighting to strengthen Social Security for the future. And to those who may still run for office planning to privatize Social Security, let me be clear: as long as I'm President, I'll fight every effort to take the retirement savings of a generation of Americans and hand it over to Wall Street. Not on my watch. 15:30:52 That's why we've given tax cuts to small business owners. Tax cuts to clean energy companies. A tax cut to 95 percent of working Americans, just like I promised you on the campaign. And instead of giving tax breaks to corporations to create jobs overseas, we're cutting taxes for companies that put our people to work here at home. That's why we're investing in growth industries like clean energy and manufacturing. And you've got leaders here like Tom Barrett and Jim Doyle who have been fighting to bring those jobs to Milwaukee and to Wisconsin. Because we want to see the solar panels and wind turbines and electric cars of tomorrow manufactured here. We don't just want to buy stuff made elsewhere; we want to grow our exports so the world buys products that say "Made in America." 15:32:30 Because there are no better workers than American workers, and I'll place my bet on you any day of the week. When the naysayers said we should just let the American auto industry vanish and take hundreds of thousands of jobs down with it, we said we'd stand by them if they made the tough choices necessary to compete once again - and today, that industry is on the way back. 15:33:21 Now, another thing we've done is make sound and long-overdue investments in upgrading our outdated and inefficient national infrastructure. We're not just talking new roads, bridges, dams and levees; but also a smart electric grid and the broadband internet and high-speed rail lines required to compete in the 21st century economy. We're talking investments in tomorrow that are creating hundreds of thousands of private sector jobs today. 15:34:20 It was because of these investments, and the tens of thousands of projects they spurred all over the country, that the battered construction sector actually grew last month for the first time in a long time. Still, nearly one in five construction workers are unemployed. And it doesn't do anybody any good when so many American workers have been idled for months, even years, at a time when there is so much of America to rebuild. That's why, today, I am announcing a new plan for rebuilding and modernizing America's roads, rails and runways for the long-term. 15:35:46 Over the next six years, we are going to rebuild 150,000 miles of our roads - enough to circle the world six times. We're going to lay and maintain 4,000 miles of our railways - enough to stretch coast-to-coast. We're going to restore 150 miles of runways and advance a next generation air-traffic control system to reduce travel time and delays for American travelers - something I think folks across the political spectrum could agree on. This is a plan that will be fully paid for and will not add to the deficit over time - we're going to work with Congress to see to that. It sets up an Infrastructure Bank to leverage federal dollars and focus on the smartest investments. It will continue our strategy to build a national high-speed rail network that reduces congestion, travel times, and harmful emissions. It will cut waste and bureaucracy by consolidating and collapsing more than 100 different, often duplicative programs. And it will change the way Washington spends your tax dollars; reforming the haphazard and patchwork way we fund and maintain our infrastructure to focus less on wasteful earmarks and outdated formulas, and more on competition and innovation that gives us the best bang for the buck. All of this will not only create jobs now, but will make our economy run better over the long haul. It's a plan that history tells us can and should attract bipartisan support. It's a plan that says even in the still-smoldering aftermath of the worst recession in our lifetimes, America can act to shape our own destiny, to move this country forward, to leave our children something better - something lasting. 15:38:23 So these are the things we've been working for. These are some of the victories that you helped us achieve. And we're not done. We've got a lot more progress to make. And I believe we will. 15:38:50 But there are some folks in Washington who see things differently. When it comes to just about everything we've done to strengthen the middle class and rebuild our economy, almost every Republican in Congress said no. Even where we usually agree, they say no. They think it's better to score political points before an election than actually solve problems. So they said no to help for small businesses. No to middle-class tax cuts. No to unemployment insurance. No to clean energy jobs. No to making college affordable. No to reforming Wall Street. Even as we speak, these guys are saying no to cutting more taxes for small business owners. I mean, come on! Remember when our campaign slogan was "Yes We Can?" These guys are running on "No, We Can't," and proud of it. Really inspiring, huh? To steal a line from our old friend, Ted Kennedy: what is it about working men and women that they find so offensive? 15:41:41 When we passed a bill earlier this summer to help states save the jobs of hundreds of thousands of teachers, nurses, police officers and firefighters that were about to be laid off, they said "no" to that, too. In fact, the Republican who's already planning to take over as Speaker of the House dismissed them as "government jobs" that weren't worth saving. Not worth saving? These are the people who teach our kids. Who keep our streets safe. Who put their lives on the line for our own. I don't know about you, but I think those jobs are worth saving. We made sure that bill wouldn't add to the deficit, either. We paid for it by finally closing a ridiculous tax loophole that actually rewarded corporations for shipping jobs and profits overseas. It let them write off the taxes they pay foreign governments - even when they don't pay taxes here. 15:43:17 How do you like that - middle class families footing tax breaks for corporations that create jobs somewhere else! Even a lot of America's biggest corporations agreed the loophole should be closed, that it wasn't fair - but the man with the plan to be Speaker is already aiming to open it up again. 15:44:00 Bottom line is, these guys refuse to give up on the economic philosophy they peddled for most of the last decade. You know that philosophy: you cut taxes for millionaires and billionaires; you cut rules for special interests; you cut working folks like you loose to fend for yourselves. They called it the ownership society. What it really boiled down to was: if you couldn't find a job, or afford college, or got dropped by your insurance company - you're on your own. Well, that philosophy didn't work out so well for working folks. It didn't work out so well for our country. All it did was rack up record deficits and result in the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. 15:45:05 I'm not bringing this up to re-litigate the past; I'm bringing it up because I don't want to re-live the past. It would be one thing if Republicans in Washington had new ideas or policies to offer; if they said, you know, we've learned from our mistakes. We'll do things differently this time. But that's not what they're doing. When the leader of their campaign committee was asked on national television what Republicans would do if they took over Congress, he actually said they'd follow "the exact same agenda" as they did before I took office. The exact same agenda. 15:45:57 So basically, they're betting that between now and November, you'll come down with a case of amnesia. They think you'll forget what their agenda did to this country. They think you'll just believe that they've changed. These are the folks whose policies helped devastate our middle class and drive our economy into a ditch. And now they're asking you for the keys back. 15:47:10 Do you want to give them the keys back? Me neither. And do you know why? Because they don't know how to drive! At a time when we're just getting out of the ditch, they'd pop it in reverse, let the special interests ride shotgun, and hit the gas, careening right back into that ditch. Well, I refuse to go backwards, Milwaukee. And that's the choice America faces this fall. Do we go back to the policies of the past? Or do we move forward? I say we move forward. America always moves forward. And we are going to keep moving forward today. 15:48:37 Let me just close by saying this. I know these are difficult times. I know folks are worried, and there's still a lot of hurt out here. I hear about it when I spend time in towns like this; I read about it in your letters at night. And when times are tough, it can be easy to give in to cynicism and fear; doubt and division - to set our sights lower and settle for something less. 15:49:41 But that is not who we are. That is not the country I know. We do not give up. We do not quit. We are a people that faced down war and depression; great challenges and great threats; and lit the way for the rest of the world. Whenever times have seemed at their worst, Americans have been at their best. Because it is in those times when we roll up our sleeves and remember that we will rise or fall together - as one nation, and one people. That's the spirit that started the labor movement. The idea that alone, we are weak. Divided, we fall. But united, we are strong. That's why we call them unions. That's why we call this the United States of America. 15:50:15 Milwaukee, that's the case I am going to make across the country this fall - yours. And I am asking for your help. If you are willing to join me, and Tom Barrett, and Gwen Moore, and Russ Feingold, we can strengthen our middle class and make our economy work for working Americans again. We can restore the American Dream and deliver it safely to our children. That's how we built the last American century. That's how we'll build the next. We don't believe in the words "No, we can't." We are Americans, and in times of great challenge, we push forward with an unyielding faith that we can. Yes, we can. Thank you, God Bless You and the work you do, and God Bless the United States of America. 15:51:50 Obama gladhanding, walking off stage / Obama shaking hands. 15:55:17 Obama leaving event

TVU 22 ANDREW YANG CEDAR RAPIDS IA TOWN HALL ABC UNI 013020 2020 Yang blurted out an Asian stereotype after trying very hard not to say it at the last event (see further below for that event) 160518 Democrats, in my view, make a grave mistake by acting like Donald Trump is the cause of all of our problems. He is not. He is a symptom of a disease that has been building up for years, even decades. 160548 What we have to do on Monday is start doing the harder work of curing the disease, and I'm the Asian doctor for the job. [laughter, applause] Ahead of Monday's caucus, he also started touting his connection to Iowa, going as far as to say his kids love it here too: 160640 I got to tell you, on a personal level, it's great to be at this point because I've been campaigning here in Iowa for the last two years. I started coming -- spring 2018. So it's been almost two years. I've been to two of your state fairs. I've eaten four turkey legs at those state fairs. This is my twenty sixth trip here, but this trip, I'm on a 17 day bus tour and the first time there was no bus, no crowds, no nothing. 160711 I was just walking around, trying to find small groups of Iowans who wanted to hear about my vision for what we needed to do to move our country forward. And I have to say, this state's been so welcoming to me the entire time. My family was here on this trip. Been incredibly warm and welcoming to my family. My kids love it here. He also dropped an expletive while talking about the president: Man, he's he's he's really done a lot of dumb shit, hasn't he? (crowd laughs) I think that list, it' like a reminder of all these great days we had with, with our president. Cedar Rapids, you know that his solutions are the opposite of what we need. HIGHLIGHTS Jaime Diamond 160017 So in this context, this thousand dollars a month starts to seem like an overdue rebalancing. You know who came out for a similar proposal recently? Jamie Diamond, the CEO of JP Morgan Chase. And he does not exactly seem like a far out individual, right? He's not running around like wearing tie dye or anything. I don't know what that was about. 160040 So the CEO of JP Morgan Chase recently came out and said we should declare a national emergency around the fact that the US economy is not working for most Americans. And then when someone asked him, what should we do about it? He said we should have a negative income tax, which is that you should have a guaranteed income level that you can't fall below in the United States of America. Does that sound familiar? 160100 That's pretty much like the, the sibling to this dividend. I'm proposing. This dividend that you can make real very, very quickly. Imagine being able to look our kids in the eyes and say to them, your country loves you, your country values you, and your country will invest in you and your future. I mean, wouldn't that be a game changer for our kids to actually know that that's happening? Asian Doctor for the Job 160424 Cedar Rapids, these are the things we're supposed to value most in our lives -- our kids, our families, our communities, our democracy -- And they're getting zeroed out one by one by one. And how is this happening? How are we allowing it to happen? I was talking to my wife about this when I was starting my campaign. And she said, "how is it that ideas that were so mainstream in the 60s and 70s now require the futuristic Asian man to, like, drag them back out into the light?" 160452 Like what the heck happened in the United States of America over the last 50, 60 years? And we concluded that, somehow, we have all been confused to think that economic value and human value are the same things. And Cedar Rapids, we have to say on Monday, "they are not," that we all have intrinsic value as Americans, as citizens and as shareholders of the richest country in the history of the world. 160518 We have to say "it's not that we must work for the economy. This economy has to start working for us." [applause] Democrats, in my view, make a grave mistake by acting like Donald Trump is the cause of all of our problems. He is not. He is a symptom of a disease that has been building up for years, even decades. 160548 What we have to do on Monday is start doing the harder work of curing the disease, and I'm the Asian doctor for the job. [laughter, applause] AUDIENCE MEMBER: [inaud] YANG>> I was hanging out with Dave Chappelle a couple of days ago. I don't -- I don't think he's in any danger. AUDIENCE MEMBER: [inaud] YANG>> Oh, really? Oh, good for him, because comedians fall (?) that artists category. Oh, really? That's good. Comedians do seem to like me. I don't know if y'all know that. Maybe because they're not threatened by me [laughter] 160640 I got to tell you, on a personal level, it's great to be at this point because I've been campaigning here in Iowa for the last two years. I started coming -- spring 2018. So it's been almost two years. I've been to two of your state fairs. I've eaten four turkey legs at those state fairs. This is my twenty sixth trip here, but this trip, I'm on a 17 day bus tour and the first time there was no bus, no crowds, no nothing. 160711 I was just walking around, trying to find small groups of Iowans who wanted to hear about my vision for what we needed to do to move our country forward. And I have to say, this state's been so welcoming to me the entire time. My family was here on this trip. Been incredibly warm and welcoming to my family. My kids love it here. Donald Trump's Solutions 160938 That response did not go over well with many Americans because the problems in our communities are all too real. We have to acknowledge their depth and severity, but then we need real solutions that will actually move our communities and our country forward. What were Donald Trump's solutions? Build a wall. Turn the clock back. Bring the old jobs back. Cedar Rapids. [AUDIENCE MEMBER speaks, inaudible] 161002 YANG>> Oh, yeah. Bring back coal, too. Bring back coal. Audience member>> Tariffs. 161007 YANG>> The tariffs. Yeah, that was terrible too. Man, he's he's he's really done a lot of dumb shit, hasn't he? (crowd laughs) I think that list, it' like a reminder of all these great days we had with, with our president. Cedar Rapids, you know that his solutions are the opposite of what we need. 161033 We need to move the clock forward. We have to accelerate our economy and society to rise to the real challenges of the 21st century, like climate change. We have to evolve in the way we see ourselves and our work and our values. I am the ideal candidate for this job because the opposite of Donald Trump is an Asian man who likes math. TRINT YANG CEDAR RAPIDS.wav [15:37:09] Sabrina Davies, Iraqi attorney. Straight ahead, it's going to be great. Thank you all. I appreciate the heck out of you. [15:37:31] I'm not sure. But I think it's Friday and Monday the voting starts. Is that right? [15:37:45] I really enjoyed it. That's why I said I wasn't sure. Well put, well put. [15:38:00] Yeah, it's a thrill to be this close to voting. And you all have the future of the country in your hands. You're all among the most powerful and influential people in our nation today. [15:38:11] I know it doesn't feel like it because you're living your lives doing your thing. Occasionally you check out a presidential candidate who comes through. But I've done the math. You know how many Californians each Iowan caucus goers were? A thousand each. That's right. So how many of us are here together today? I'm gonna give a trumpet, an estimate. [15:38:32] There are about a thousand people in this world. [15:38:38] The biggest room anyone has ever seen. [15:38:43] I think there are about 80 of us here today and 80 Iowans is like two football stadiums full of Californians. That's the power you all have to do something that the rest of our country only dreams about, which is actually push us in a new direction. Now, if you've seen the ads, raise your hand, if you've seen the ads and try that. That's good because we spent a lot of money on those ads. Have you seen the ads? You know anything about me? You know, I'm not a career politician. I'm an entrepreneur and problem solver. And I'm running for president in large part to address this challenge or problem that we've been wrestling with, struggling with as a country over the last several years and still haven't fully understood. And that question or challenge is this. Why is Donald Trump our president today? How did Donald Trump win Iowa? This purple swing state by almost 10 points. Now, if you turn on cable news, at any point over the last several years, we've been offered a whole series of explanations as to why Donald Trump won. I know you've heard them go ahead and shout out an explanation that you've seen out there. Electoral College. Drain the swamp a.i.d.s.. Hillary Clinton is definitely on the list. Hillary Clinton, the globalist left behind. [15:40:05] Racism. Russia. Russia. Sexism. Facebook. FBI collusion. [15:40:16] Collusion. DNC evangelicals. [15:40:21] And NRA A. [15:40:23] Everything mixed together into a cocktail saying this is why Donald Trump won. But Cedar Rapids, I'm a numbers guy, and the numbers tell a very clear and compelling story that many of you will find very familiar. Over the last number of years, we eliminated four million manufacturing jobs in this country. And where were those jobs primarily located? Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Missouri and forty thousand right here in Iowa. I have been to those towns in Iowa where the manufacturing jobs dried up. And after those jobs dried up, the shopping district closed, people left, the schools shrank, and that community has never recovered. I saw the same thing play out in Missouri, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, because I spent the last seven years running a nonprofit that helped create thousands of jobs in those states. And unfortunately, what we did to those jobs is now shifting to other parts of our economy. How many of you have noticed stores closing around where you work and live? And why are those stores closing? Amazon. That's right. Ten years ago, you might've said Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart was like a tank that came to town and started running over mom and pop retailers. Amazon's was like a spaceship hovering over everything. Amazon's soaking up 20 billion dollars in business every year, closing 30 percent of your stores and malls. Most common job in our economy is retail clerk. Average retail clerk is a 39 year old woman making between eight and twelve dollars. Now, what is her next job when the store closes? McDonald's, unless they have a seltzer kiosk. How much did Amazon pay in taxes last year? Zero. That is the math. Cedar Rapids, 20 billion out 30 percent of your store is close. You get zero back. I was just at a mall the other day in Iowa where the J.C. Penney just closed. And we all know that these malls can go from cheery to spooky awfully quick. As soon as some of the bigger stores start closing. These are changes you can see around us, but many of the changes are so subtle you don't notice them. [15:42:34] When you will call the customer service line of a big company and you get the bot or the software on the other end, I'm sure you do the same thing I do, which is you pounds 0 0 0 with a human. [15:42:43] Human representative of human human. [15:42:46] And to get some a little line. Raise your hand. That's what you do. Yeah, we all do that. We're all like a person still works at this company somewhere and I will now find that person. But in two or three short years, Cedar Rapids, the software, on the other hand, is gonna sound like this. Hello, Andrew, how are you? What can I do for you? It'll be fast, seamless, efficient. You might not even know its software. What will this mean for the two and a half million Americans who work at call centers in our country right now making 10 to 14 dollars now? Same thing as the store clerks. We're not quite sure how many of you all know a truck driver here in Iowa. It's most common job in twenty nine states. Three and a half million truckers. Ninety four percent men. Average age. Forty nine. My friends in California are working on robot trucks that can drive themselves. They say they're 98 percent of the way. They're a robot truck just successfully transported 20 tons of butter from California to Pennsylvania a month ago with no human intervention. Why did they choose butter for this maiden voyage? I have no idea. But if you Google robot butter truck, you will see the story and at the end of the route was a giant stack of pancakes. [15:44:01] I made up the pancakes, but everything else. [15:44:05] What will this mean for the three and a half million truckers or the seven million plus Americans who work at truck stops, motels and diners that rely upon the truckers stopping every day and having a meal? How many have you been to Iowa? Adrian Davenport. They say that 5000 people stop there every day. How many people will stop at Iowa? 80 if the trucks no longer have drivers? [15:44:28] Fewer than 5000. [15:44:31] 250 is very precise. Oh, yeah. That's us. No, I get it. I mean, it's quite nice. [15:44:37] Cedar Rapids, we're in the midst of the greatest economic transformation in the history of our country right now. What experts are calling the fourth industrial revolution. Chances are you never heard a politician say the words fourth industrial revolution. Also, until just now, because I'm barely a politician. I spent years trying to do work in communities, creating jobs where they were losing jobs. And I began to feel like my work was like pouring water into a bathtub. They had the giant hole up in the bottom. Things were going downhill, not uphill, uphill and many, many of these communities. The Donald Trump wins in 2016. I go through the numbers and I say, oh my gosh, what we did to these jobs we're now going to do to the most common jobs in our economy. The technology is getting smarter, faster, stronger. While most of us are just hoping to stay about the same. Now, if you're young, you're actually getting smarter. [15:45:30] But after you become an adult, like all of us, you're just hoping not to get dumber. You know what I mean? [15:45:38] But the technology is getting faster all the time and it's about to accelerate in unprecedented ways. I'm friends with some of the senior most technologists in our country. The folks who are developing the artificial intelligence. [15:45:49] And they tell me that when this starts hating organizations in earnest, it will be a transformation on the scale that we have not seen perhaps in our country's history. [15:46:02] I also realized that we were scapegoating immigrants for problems immigrants had very little to do with. If you go to a factory in Michigan, you don't find wall to wall immigrants doing work. What do you find? Wall to wall robots and machines doing work. So I went to our leaders in D.C. and I asked what are we going to do to help our people manage this transformation? Because this is going to speed up and what do you think the folks in D.C. said to me when I said, what are we going to do? [15:46:33] Oh, you laugh about that, but that's the most common thing I got. [15:46:37] The three things I heard in D.C. were, number one, we cannot talk about this. Number two, we should study this. And number three, we must educate and retrain all Americans for the jobs of the future. How many of you heard that before? Oh, yeah, that sounds half way responsible, but I looked at the studies. Y'all want to guess how effective the government funded retraining programs were for the manufacturing workers who lost their jobs. [15:47:04] On a percentage basis. [15:47:08] You know, it's low because I'm anchoring you low, but do you also know it's low because, you know, people you know that you don't have hundreds of manufacturing workers who just lose their jobs and are like, I'm here for my coding retraining program now. Now I'll be at this laptop in no time. The success rates of these programs were between zero and 15 percent. There were a total dud. The truth is, almost half of the manufacturing workers who lost their jobs in the Midwest left the workforce and didn't work again. Of that group, almost half filed for disability. We then saw surges in suicides and drug overdoses in these communities to the point where America's life expectancy declined for three years in a row. You know, the last time America's life expectancy declined for three years in a row. It's a little after the Civil War, but I think we had that a little bit before the Great Depression. It's the Spanish flu of 1918. A global pandemic that killed millions. You have to go back a century because it's highly unusual for life expectancy to go down in a developed country. And ordinarily just goes up because we're getting richer, stronger and healthier. But here in the U.S., it went down and then down and then down again. And when I pose this to the folks in D.C., one of them cut me off and said something that brought me here to you all today. [15:48:23] Cedar Rapids, he said, Andrew, you're in the wrong town. No one here in D.C. will do anything about this because fundamentally this is a town of followers, not leaders. [15:48:34] And the only way we will do something about it is if you were to create a wave in other parts of the country and bring that wave crashing down on our heads. And I said challenge accepted. I'll be back in two years. And that is how I came to run for president of the United States. Applause. [15:48:55] So now you're right about on the cusp of voting. And I stand before you fourth in the polls and rising to be the Democratic nominee. [15:49:07] He raised sixteen and a half million dollars last year. It's the Russians. Always trying to mess with my events because they know I'm coming for their guy. [15:49:27] We raised sixteen and a half billion dollars last quarter and grow in increments of only thirty five dollars each. So my fans are almost as cheap as Burns, but there was no corporate PAC money in there. This is an uprising of the people to take back our government and get it working for us again and improving our way of life because our government is not working for us anymore. Who is it working for? [15:49:51] It's working for the Amazons and the drug companies and the military contractors and the other people that are just getting rich while our communities sink ever deeper into the ground. That's the harsh truth of it. Your corporate profits are at record highs and your life expectancy is going down. Which do you value more? I mean, we value our life expectancies more, I'd imagine. But for them, they can't even see life expectancy. Staring at the money. Washington, D.C. today is the richest city in our country. Think about that for a second. What do they produce? [15:50:29] None of us knows yet. Business is awfully good. Donald Trump wanted to drain the swamp. Cedar Rapids, I want to do something a little bit different. I want to distribute the swamp. Why do you employ hundreds of thousands of government workers in the most expensive city in your country? Why wouldn't you move some of those jobs to Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa? You'd say billions of dollars right off the bat. And I would argue that those government agencies would make better decisions because they'd be living someplace normal and not in a D.C. bubble where they just talk to each other. [15:51:11] I'm for term limits for members of Congress. [15:51:17] In Cedar Rapids, I know how to get it passed. I'll be your president a year from now. Thank you for that. [15:51:25] And then I'll go to Congress and say, hey, you guys really should just try and work for the American people and then head home, you shouldn't just try and stay here forever. So we should have 12 year term limits for members of Congress. [15:51:38] But current law makers will be exempt when you pass this. Do you think that they'll pass that? Oh, yeah. They passed out the next day. They would say, we do this for the American people. [15:51:50] Because they'd be exempt. They'd be like, this doesn't affect me. That's just a fact. Whoever's coming in after me. But then pretty soon they would get phased out and you'd have a legislature that actually responds to us. We need to wash out the lobbyist cash that has taken a complete stranglehold on our legislature and I have a way we can do that too. Right now, only five percent of American voters donate to political campaigns. So if you've donated by putting yourself on the back. That's a very unusual. [15:52:19] Level of commitment here in America. My plan is to give everyone in the country you can vote one hundred democracy dollars that you can give to any candidate or campaign every year it or lose it. So if you don't use, it disappears. But if you do like someone, you can give them a hundred dollars. That's essentially like a ballot for the government. Just sends that 100 dollars. You could even break it up. What do you think the percentage of Americans who give to campaigns would be then, if you had one hundred three dollars? [15:52:49] Someone's at 90 percent. I think that's awfully high. Americans are pretty lazy. [15:52:55] But let's say it was 50 percent, if it was 50 percent, we'd wash out the lobbyist cash by a factor of four to one. [15:53:02] Because if you get ten thousand Americans to give you one hundred democracy, that is a million dollars. And then when the lobbyist comes and says, I've got eighty thousand dollars for you're lying, I'm not sure I want to touch that because, you know, they might not support me and then, like, I'd lose them in their dollars. The tough truth in this country is that if you have money on one side and people on the other, who's winning? Right now, it's money and Cedar Rapids. The big thing we have to do is we have to unite the people in the money because the money is winning against us. [15:53:32] And so we have to put the money into our hands. That includes to retake our democracy in the form of this washing out the lobbyist cash. And this also. Is how we're going to improve. Our towns, our communities and the foundation for our kids. If you are here today and you saw the ads, you know, my flagship proposal is to give every American adult a thousand dollars a month from age 18 until the day you die. Raise your hand if you saw that. Keep your hand up if you thought that's a gimmick. That's unrealistic. That's too good to be true. [15:54:03] Hand up. [15:54:07] You can both love it and think it's too good to be true. I mean, you know, there's no light, no negativity. [15:54:16] It's not my idea. It's not a new idea. [15:54:20] Thomas Paine was for this at the founding of our country. He called it the citizen's dividend for all Americans. Martin Luther King, whose birthday we celebrated last week, fought for this in the 60s. It is what he was fighting for, only was killed in 1968. I know this because I met with Dr. King's son in Atlanta and he said this is what his father was fighting for, the guaranteed minimum income for all Americans. A thousand economists, including Milton Friedman, one of the godfathers of modern economic thought, endorsed this plan in the 60s. It was so mainstream it passed the US House of Representatives twice in 1971 under Richard Nixon. The Family Assistance Plan. And then 11 years later, one state actually passed a dividend. Now everyone who lives in that state gets between one and two thousand dollars a year. No questions asked. What state is that and how does Alaska pay for it? And what is the oil of the 21st century? Technology data, A.I. self-driving cars and trucks. A new study came out recently that said that our data, your data, is now worth more than oil. How many of you saw that study? How many of you got your data check in the mail last month? If your data is now worth billions of dollars a year and you are not seeing a dime of it, then where's all that money go? Facebook, Amazon, Google, Apple. [15:55:48] The trillion dollar tech companies that are paying next to nothing back into our society. You know that feeling you had on the back of your mind that somehow. We're getting sucked dry that there's like a game going on behind the scenes or we're not sure what it is. That's been happening. Our data is getting sold and resold to the tune of billions of dollars and it's just getting sucked out of our hands. We hit those little I agree I can set you said I hope for the best. But it's America. The best is not happening. Cedar Rapids. That is what you have to change. We are here together to make a few big changes. Number one, we can't let a trillion our tech company like Amazon pay less in taxes than everyone here in this room. Then the question is, after you actually get some of that value that's leaving your community, what do we do with it? I'm saying we give it right back to you in the form of this dividend of a thousand dollars a month, which we can completely afford if we give you your tiny fair share of every Amazon sale, every Google search, every Facebook ad, eventually every robot truck mile, every day. I work in it because right now, if we have self-driving trucks on the highways, how much will you see in tax revenue? [15:57:02] Zero, because the big tech companies will be licensing the self-driving trucks off to wing equipment to the freight company and there's gonna be nothing coming into your hands. This is what has to change some time between now and then. This is why I'm running. So in this context, this thousand dollars a month into our hands is going to be a transition that eases this incredible economic transformation that we're in the midst of. It makes us stronger, healthier, mentally healthier, more secure, more prosperous, particularly because when this money is in your hands, where will it actually go? [15:57:42] How much of it would stay right here in Iowa? [15:57:46] Most of it, not all of it. You might get your own Netflix password. But most of it would go to car repairs you've been putting off and daycare expenses and little league sign ups and local nonprofits and religious organizations. Cedar Rapids, this is the trickle up economy from our people, families and our communities up. And this is what we can make real for us and the rest of the country. On Monday. And this is an overdue rebalancing of the most extreme winner take all economy in the history of the world, which we're in the midst of right now. And it's about to get worse. Raise your hand if you're a parent like me and my wife and. If you're a parent, you have had this sinking feeling some time in the not so distant past that our kids are inheriting a future that is less bright, less secure and less prosperous and the lives that we have let as their parents. [15:58:48] Or their grandkids. That's true. You know why we feel that way? Because it's true. If you were born in the 1940s, the United States of America, there was a ninety three percent chance you were gonna do better than your parents did. That's the American dream. That's what brought my family here. That's what so many of us aspire to for our kids. But if you were born in the 1990s in this country, you're down to a 50 50 shot and it's declining fast. That's why the parents feel the way we do. That's why young people feel like the deck is stacked against them in unprecedented ways, because it is. And Cedar Rapids, you are the only people in the country who can change this. You are the only people who can rewire the rules of our economy so that they'll work for you and your families and your children. [15:59:35] I'm not running for president because I dreamt about being president of the United States. Trust me when I say those were not the conversations in the Yang household. My parents were not saying you're going to grow up to be president. There were more likely to say you're terrible. Go clean your room. I'm running for president because like many of you here in this room, I'm a parent and a patriot. I have seen the future that lies ahead for our kids. And it is not something I'm willing to accept. We have to deliver better for them. And if you help me, I will fight for them every single day as we the. 160017 So in this context, this thousand dollars a month starts to seem like an overdue rebalancing. You know who came out for a similar proposal recently? Jamie Diamond, the CEO of JP Morgan Chase. And he does not exactly seem like a far out individual, right? He's not running around like wearing tie dye or anything. I don't know what that was about. 160040 So the CEO of JP Morgan Chase recently came out and said we should declare a national emergency around the fact that the US economy is not working for most Americans. And then when someone asked him, what should we do about it? He said we should have a negative income tax, which is that you should have a guaranteed income level that you can't fall below in the United States of America. Does that sound familiar? 160100 That's pretty much like the, the sibling to this dividend. I'm proposing. This dividend that you can make real very, very quickly. Imagine being able to look our kids in the eyes and say to them, your country loves you, your country values you, and your country will invest in you and your future. I mean, wouldn't that be a game changer for our kids to actually know that that's happening? [16:01:22] That's the way we turn it around. Right now, we're getting messages about how great things are. Record high corporate profits, record high GDP, record low unemployment. And once again, you feel like things are not that great. [16:01:35] And once again, you're right. [16:01:38] We have record high corporate profits in this country. What else are at record highs right now in the United States of America? [16:01:45] Suicides, drug addiction and substance abuse. Student loan debt. Mental illness. Shootings. Homelessness, food insecurity. Record lows in the United States of America right now. Starting a business for a young person, getting married, having a child. All of the hallmarks of a thriving society are now at record lows in the United States of America. That is where we have come to Cedar Rapids. That is how Donald Trump wins your state by almost 10 points. You are ground zero for this transformation. You saw it already happen on your farms with the mechanization and consolidation of many of the agricultural jobs. Then it shifted to your factories, wiping out 40000 manufacturing jobs and counting. Now it's on your main streets, closing 30 percent of your stores in malls. Eventually it will be on your highways. If we don't take this opportunity on February 3rd, what happens over the next four years? [16:02:49] Are things trending up or trending now? [16:02:53] This is what you have to turn around the standards you have for the next president of the United States should not be who I like that person. I'm going to be very glad to send them to D.C.. The standard should be, is that person going to approve your way of life right here in Cedar Rapids? That is the standard I want you to hold me to. The messages we're getting about how great the economy are are way off base, and I know this in part because of my own family, my wife is at home everyday with our two boys, one of whom is autistic. How much is England's work valued at in our current economic measurements? Zero one gets a zero. Every other stay at home parent. Also a zero. How about caregivers taking care of ailing loved ones? That's a zero. How about volunteers and activists trying to do something good? Most coaches and mentors looking after our kids. Generally zero. Ninety five percent of artists. [16:03:53] It's tough. [16:03:56] You know, one thing we don't talk about a lot. Local journalists. We have put almost two thousand local papers out of business, the United States, over the last number of months because all of their ads went to the Internet. We can't really run a paper on that. So now we have 200 counties. The United States that don't have any local news. What doesn't function very well if you don't have local news? [16:04:18] Democracy, because how can you vote on what's going on in your community and literally no one is covering what's going on in your community. 160424 Cedar Rapids, these are the things we're supposed to value most in our lives -- our kids, our families, our communities, our democracy -- And they're getting zeroed out one by one by one. And how is this happening? How are we allowing it to happen? I was talking to my wife about this when I was starting my campaign. And she said, "how is it that ideas that were so mainstream in the 60s and 70s now require the futuristic Asian man to, like, drag them back out into the light?" 160452 Like what the heck happened in the United States of America over the last 50, 60 years? And we concluded that, somehow, we have all been confused to think that economic value and human value are the same things. And Cedar Rapids, we have to say on Monday, "they are not," that we all have intrinsic value as Americans, as citizens and as shareholders of the richest country in the history of the world. 160518 We have to say "it's not that we must work for the economy. This economy has to start working for us." [applause] Democrats, in my view, make a grave mistake by acting like Donald Trump is the cause of all of our problems. He is not. He is a symptom of a disease that has been building up for years, even decades. 160548 What we have to do on Monday is start doing the harder work of curing the disease, and I'm the Asian doctor for the job. [laughter, applause] AUDIENCE MEMBER: [inaud] YANG>> I was hanging out with Dave Chappelle a couple of days ago. I don't -- I don't think he's in any danger. AUDIENCE MEMBER: [inaud] YANG>> Oh, really? Oh, good for him, because comedians fall (?) that artists category. Oh, really? That's good. Comedians do seem to like me. I don't know if y'all know that. Maybe because they're not threatened by me [laughter] 160640 I got to tell you, on a personal level, it's great to be at this point because I've been campaigning here in Iowa for the last two years. I started coming -- spring 2018. So it's been almost two years. I've been to two of your state fairs. I've eaten four turkey legs at those state fairs. This is my twenty sixth trip here, but this trip, I'm on a 17 day bus tour and the first time there was no bus, no crowds, no nothing. 160711 I was just walking around, trying to find small groups of Iowans who wanted to hear about my vision for what we needed to do to move our country forward. And I have to say, this state's been so welcoming to me the entire time. My family was here on this trip. Been incredibly warm and welcoming to my family. My kids love it here. [16:07:33] I. [16:07:40] For it. Yeah, yeah, I got my wheels turning. It's been an incredible journey over the last two years and now it's culminating in this Monday. It's going to be phenomenal. I believe it's gonna be a historic night in this country. I believe that this campaign is going to surprise a lot of people. That night I had. The hotel staff today, because we don't sleep on the bus. [16:08:10] We stay at the hotel. The hotels tab excitedly come up to me and get a picture with me and then say, like, you're my guy. And then they say, oh, all these other campaigns are calling, but I'm telling them it's not bothering me. It's got. And I was so excited by this because I was like, oh, my gosh, if we're getting this this janitor that excited about the campaign. You know it this way. Like, I don't think that's going to show up in the polls. I think it's going to show up on Monday. [16:08:46] But it's not janitor and her kids whose lives we need to change in effect. The tough truth is that many Americans don't feel like politics involves them or includes them. And I know they're sick of the fact that the two sides that seem to be clashing heads and worried about scoring points on each other. We have to get back to basics and see what the heck has been going on in our communities that's been allowed to fester for far too long. Donald Trump is our president today because he had a very, very simple message. He said he wanted to make America great again. What did Hillary Clinton say in response to that? America's already great. You all remember that. It's been a long three years, I know Cedar Rapids, but it's now coming to an end. 160938 That response did not go over well with many Americans because the problems in our communities are all too real. We have to acknowledge their depth and severity, but then we need real solutions that will actually move our communities and our country forward. What were Donald Trump's solutions? Build a wall. Turn the clock back. Bring the old jobs back. Cedar Rapids. [AUDIENCE MEMBER speaks, inaudible] 161002 YANG>> Oh, yeah. Bring back coal, too. Bring back coal. Audience member>> Tariffs. 161007 YANG>> The tariffs. Yeah, that was terrible too. Man, he's he's he's really done a lot of dumb shit, hasn't he? (crowd laughs) I think that list, it' like a reminder of all these great days we had with, with our president. Cedar Rapids, you know that his solutions are the opposite of what we need. 161033 We need to move the clock forward. We have to accelerate our economy and society to rise to the real challenges of the 21st century, like climate change. We have to evolve in the way we see ourselves and our work and our values. I am the ideal candidate for this job because the opposite of Donald Trump is an Asian man who likes math. Thank you all very much. Is it accurate? A music stands for Make America Think Harder. That's right. That's your job on Monday. It's your job to move this country. We love not left, not right, but forward. [16:11:16] And I know that's just where you take us. Give it up for the next president of the United States.
