it's on what we can do together. now, look, when i first got into this, people told me, the way you have to do this is you got to spend your time, suck it up to the billionaires, the millionaires, fundraising, lobbyists, corporate lobbyists. and i said, but that's what's broken about the whole system. the only way we're going to make this better is we use this democratic primary to build a grassroots movement, a grassroots movement that's there for the primary, there for the general and there to make real change in 2021!

our children don't have to fear getting shot at school. an america where we don't have a president who embarrasses us every day, takes children away from their parents at the border. an america that reflects a good people, because that is what we want to be. we want to be a country, a country, a country not about money, not just about power and privilege, but a country in which our people are our most important asset. that's the country we want to be. [cheers and applause] sen. warren: so we build this one together and here's the thing. i was just thinking about this. we've had three years now of donald trump and mitch mcconnell.
11:31 pm
[boos] sen. warren: you're heard of them. [laughter] sen. warren: in fact, it was exactly three years ago yesterday that mitch mcconnell tried to throw me off the floor of the united states senate for reading a letter from coretta scott king to try to block a racist nominee to be attorney general. right? three years. and that's when mitch mcconnell said it, right, said those words. there were a lot of women who put on t-shirts. a lot of embroidered on to pillows. a lot have had tattooed on their body. nevertheless, she persisted. [cheers and applause]
11:32 pm
sen. warren: now you're getting ready to knock some doors, do a little democracy. but here's the thing, there's still a lot of folks out there who are really starting to get worried. worried that this fight against donald trump might not be winnable. the way i look at this, i have been winning unwinnable fights pretty much all my life. [cheering] sen. warren: and just to pick a few, in recent history, i'll go after one and that is the fight to have a federal agency to keep people from getting cheated by banks. the fight -- we've got cfpd nerds in here, i can tell. i love nerds. the fight to hold corporate executives accountable.
11:33 pm
c.e.o. of wells fargo, got him fired! [cheers and applause] and the fight to take back a senate seat from a popular incumbent republican. got that one done. [cheers and applause] sen. warren: so here's how i see it. there are a lot of folks who are going to talk about what's not winnable, what can't be done, and definitely about who can't do it. they're going to talk about it right up until we get in that fight, we persist and we win. that is how i will be the first woman president of the united states of america! [cheers and applause] sen. warren: all it takes now is us. we're in this fight together all the way.
11:34 pm
keep in mind, this is not a fight done by consultants. this is not a fight for advisers. this is a fight from the heart, and together we are going to build not an america of the past. we're going to build the america of the future, the one of our best values. i believe in you.
