“…The soul of the country is who we are. Look, you know, did you ever think, those of you who are over forty, did you ever think we’d be in a situation where we talk to each other like we talk these days? Why you see things that we see that, no matter how tense things were–and they were really tough in other parts of our history. When you ride down the street and there’s a Trump banner with a ‘F you’ on it and a little, and a six -year-old kid putting up his middle finger. Did you ever, no, I’m serious, did you ever think you’d hear people talk they way they do? Look, it demeans, it demeans who we are. That’s not who America, that’s not America. Those between, look, those of us who want to pull America back into the past and those who want to move it into the future. My lifetime has taught me to embrace the future. I mean it sincerely. Freedom, democracy, a future based on the core values that have defined America: Honesty, decency, fairness, equality, just treating people just fairly. No, I really mean it. We don’t always live up, that the essence, that’s the American creed.”
