00:00On Sunday, Donald Trump is going to come to Michigan at the invitation of Mike Rogers
00:12and John James.
00:18You might have seen yesterday we had a little debate, or I had a debate and he just pointed
00:26at me and said, well, he's Muslim.
00:30And there was a note that Mike Rogers said in the last debate, he said the last two years
00:35have been amazing.
00:42I want to ask you all, Wayne State, when you go pump your gas, do you feel like the last
00:46two years have been amazing?
00:49When you go to the grocery store, does it feel like the last two years have been amazing?
00:54When you hear notes about ice in your community, has it felt like the last two years have been
00:58amazing?
01:00When you go to try to see a doctor, if you can see a doctor, has it felt like the
01:05last two
01:05years have been amazing?
01:08When you think about the fact that we are now at a war, that we have no business fighting,
01:12has it felt like the last two years have been amazing?
01:16When you think about the fact that we are in a trade war with Canada and you pay an average
01:24of $5,600, does it feel like the last two years have been amazing?
01:29But here's the thing, if you're a millionaire from Florida and you've got a mansion and two
01:34yachts, which for some reason are in Maryland, maybe for you life is amazing.
01:42When you fly around in a private jet, maybe for you life is amazing.
01:48But that's exactly the disconnect in our politics that has become the problem.
01:53The very same people who want to tell us that it's all amazing have been pushing a politics
01:58of division, trying to tear us apart from one another.
02:02And here's the thing about it, when they're distracting you, it's because they're picking
02:05your pocket.
02:07They're picking your pocket by sending your tax dollars abroad to drop bombs on someone
02:13else rather than investing in your schools or your infrastructure or your healthcare.
02:17They're picking your pocket by trying to deny you a union that should be fighting for fair
02:22wages and good benefits.
02:28They're picking your pocket when they're gutting programs like Medicaid and the ACA and SNAP to
02:34pass a tax cut for the richest people in America in their one big ugly bill.
02:42And we've got an opportunity to stand up and push back.
02:47I don't have to tell you all this, but unions built the middle class.
02:55Unions built the 40-hour work week.
02:58Unions built the fact that our kids go to school instead of going to work.
03:04Unions built safe working conditions.
03:08And they can do it again if we're willing to stand with our unions.
03:12Which is why, when I get to the United States Senate, one of the first things I aim to do
03:17is finally pass that PRO Act.
