00:07Yeah, why don't I go first? Yeah, yeah. Probably not. We live? Ready to go? All right. Look,
00:19thank you all for being here today. I have some big news and a big announcement. I'm officially
00:25putting my support behind Stephanie Shaheen. And let me tell you why. But let's first start at like
00:31where this campaign began for me. The core message of my campaign has been renewal of the American
00:37Dream. And a core part of that to me is getting everyone in this country the health care that they
00:44need and that they deserve. That to me is ultimately my North Star. And in this election,
00:54this is a two-person race at this point. I say this as someone that literally threw everything
01:02I had at this race. I would have wanted to say this is a three-person race. It's not.
01:08It's a two-person race. And those two choices are Stephanie Shaheen and Maura Solomon. Over the course
01:15of a few days, a week, I don't know, two weeks, we've spent a lot of time together. But certainly
01:20over the course of the last two weeks, we've had an opportunity to talk about substantive issues
01:26that really matter to me. And what's really clear, Stephanie's going to stand for Medicare for All
01:32and fight for it because it'll be a fight. Stephanie's going to stand against the data centers. That's going
01:39to be a big fight and one of the most consequential fights of the next decade, in my opinion. And
01:44Stephanie's
01:45going to stand on the right side of history and morality and saying enough to Benjamin Netanyahu
01:52and Israel. And so today, I'm proud to be standing with Stephanie as we go on to Tuesday. I'm officially
02:02putting this on. I'm proud to be on the team. And I'm really proud to be on this. Oh, look
02:09at that.
02:09All right. See, this is what I mean. This is why I'm supporting her. So I really appreciate it. And
02:16I'll do whatever I can to get you elected. So thank you so much. Thank you so much, Christian.
02:22Well, huge thanks and appreciation and gratitude to Christian for this endorsement and support,
02:29momentous support. You know, I am incredibly humbled and honored to have your endorsement and
02:35grateful for your service to our country in the Army National Guard and for your tireless work as a
02:41candidate on the trail. We've been together now for over a year, taking these conversations to voters up
02:48and down the district. And I've learned a great deal from what you've brought to the race, your energy,
02:53your enthusiasm, your earnestness. And I really am humbled to have your support.
02:56Thank you. Look, as you heard from Christian, we share a bold vision for the change that this country
03:04needs. We know that New Hampshire folks are desperately needing health care relief. We need
03:11to deliver on Medicare for all. We need to stand up to the tactics that have led to communities being
03:18fooled and lied to relative to data centers and, you know, other things. We're standing here in Merrimack,
03:25we had a chance to be here just a couple weeks ago talking to the leaders who make Merrimack work
03:30about the potential risks of a data center moratorium here relative to the quality of
03:35groundwater and the potential exposure here to the citizens in Merrimack. We need people who are
03:41understand and grounded in our communities and in our state and ready to fight our hard fights here.
03:47And we've got to set stop this endless war. Yes, as you heard from Christian, we know the war is
03:54hurting
03:54people here. It's driving up gas prices. It's cost too many human lives. And it's time for change. It's time
04:03to
04:03deliver an end to this war. And look, we both know New Hampshire is not for sale. It's not for
04:08sale to APAC or to
04:10billionaires like Jeff Bezos who are working hard to put data centers in communities across the state.
04:16And it's not for sale to ICE contractors like Palantir trying to help Trump direct people into
04:22detention centers like the one that was proposed for Merrimack that because of so many of the folks
04:27here with me today did not come to fruition. We have to fix what Trump's broken. We have to hold
04:33him
04:33accountable. We have to prevent the profiteering that he's doing from the White House moving forward,
04:39pocketing billions. He's literally pocketed $2 billion personally while the American people
04:44can't afford health care. Our fight is for New Hampshire. I'm proud to have three times more
04:53support from New Hampshire contributors than any other candidate and proud that that means we now
04:58have even more support from the team that has backed Christian over the last many months.
05:03Endorsements from firefighters, teachers, electrical workers, the people who make New Hampshire work.
05:08My campaign is of, by and for the people of New Hampshire. I'm grateful to have Christian and
05:12his team now behind us. Thank you Christian for standing with me and thank you all. Let's get on
05:17to Tuesday and win on September 8th. Thank you so much.
05:30I mean, what's it going to take? I mean, obviously, you know, we know what the polls say.
05:34You know, what's going to happen on Tuesday?
05:38We're going to work hard to get every single vote and it's going to take coalitions like this one
05:43standing together to help people understand what's at stake and the choice is really clear.
05:47Our campaign is of, by and for the people of New Hampshire and my opponent, Maura Sullivan,
05:51has taken 90 percent of the money that supports her campaign from outside of New Hampshire.
05:55And if you look at her policy positions relative to what we're standing for, it's really clear.
06:00I support Medicare for all. She supports Medicare for all who want it, which means Medicare for some,
06:05and it means preserving the private insurance industry. I support an end to the supply of
06:10weapons to Netanyahu. She has not gone that far. She has not said she wants to stop this endless supply
06:15of weapons to Netanyahu while she pockets hundreds of thousands of dollars from APAC donors. More money
06:22from APAC donors than people who live in New Hampshire. And we've seen with, with Palantir,
06:29thousands of dollars from senior executives at Palantir. These are the same partners that Trump
06:34works with to support ICE. So choice could not be more clear. I'm, our campaign is up by and for
06:41the
06:41people of New Hampshire. I'm grateful to Christian and his team for seeing that this is the kind of
06:46coalition we can bring together to deliver the kind of bold change New Hampshire folks are seeking.
06:51So Christian, how confident are you? I mean, you know, your, your supporters, um,
06:56well, not necessarily vast in number, probably independent people. Like you think that they're
07:00all going to, you know, get on board with Stephanie at this point? This is what I think. I think
07:06people
07:06are going to see this as a two person race, as a choice between two people. I fully agree with
07:11everything
07:12that Stephanie just said, but there's also something more fundamentally important to me. One of the key
07:18characters of leadership is being frank and honest with the voters. Stephanie does that. The other
07:26choice doesn't. And people are going to see straight through it. And the people that supported me,
07:31they valued that because, look, I'm a little pugnacious sometimes, but I'm definitely straightforward
07:37with people. That's what they want. This is the choice for New Hampshire right now.
07:43So both of you are saying this is a two person race. Um, there is still a third major candidate
07:48in the race. You know, Keith Howard dropped out, or two actually, Sarah Jasinski and Carly Barrient. Um,
07:54Carly especially seems to have taken a more left wing flank, similar to some of the positions that,
07:58uh, Christian, you emphasized in your race. What would you say to people who are still supporting
08:02Carly Barrient? Are you looking for their support? Absolutely. I'm looking for every voter's support.
08:07I'm looking for people who are leaning in any direction right now because there's still a lot
08:11of folks who are undecided and they're trying to make up their mind. And our job between now and
08:15Tuesday is to take this fight to every single voter, regardless of who they may or may not be
08:20thinking they want to vote for and try to earn their support. Great. Thank you. Thanks, everybody.
08:29Thank you all.
