Liberty and Justice Dinner - Nov. 1, 2019
November 1, 2019
Hello Iowa! I’m here to talk about something that people all across Iowa and all across America know down deep in their bones: our democracy has been hijacked by the rich and the powerful. They make it work for themselves, and they leave everyone else behind. We see it every time a corporate executive threatens to cut pay and move jobs overseas. We see it every time an insurance company denies treatment and denies access to the doctors that people trust. We see it when a criminal justice system tears […]

November 1, 2019
Wow! Thank you, Iowa. It is so, so wonderful to be back here with so many friends. Thank you! Thank you to my good friends, Ruth and Tom Harkin and Tom and Christie Vilsack. It is great to see you. As you all know, I can see Iowa from my porch. And we are going to win big in this state in November. We are going to build a blue wall around Iowa and Ohio - all those states that Donald Trump won in 2016. Iowa, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, and […]

Justice for All - Oct. 26, 2019
October 26, 2019
The issue we are gathered here to talk about is so important and impacts all of us. For so long, we have heard politicians paying lip service to the issue of criminal justice reform, it is a familiar talking point, but what is actually done about it. There’s no real action, no real serious changes being made. Instead, one generation after another continues to fall victim to a justice system that is fundamentally unjust. So we think to our pledge of allegiance that we’ve said over and over throughout our […]

Aloha! That's what I call Iowa nice. It's so good to be here with all of you. Thank you very much the Des Moines Register for hosting this and giving us the opportunity to be able to give a little bit of background about who I am and why I'm running for president. I'm really grateful throughout this whole campaign to have the opportunity to come to places like Iowa, to go to communities across the country and just be reminded in every stop that we have about how great […]

Iowa Democratic Steak Fry - Sept. 21, 2019
September 21, 2019
Aloha Iowa Democrats! How you guys doing? You know, in Hawaii when we get these little gentle showers we consider them blessings. Yeah I feel blessed, I feel grateful to be here to join all of you today at such an important time. Now I start our conversation here with ‘aloha’ because it's important. You know, we're facing increasingly divided times. Self-serving politicians in Washington who are pitting one group of us against the other, pitting one tribe against the other, tearing us apart. And now I start with ‘aloha’ […]

Iowa Democratic Steak Fry - Sept. 21, 2019
September 21, 2019
Thank You Iowa! So you know what, I can handle the snow, I can handle the rain and I can handle Donald Trump. So when they said what candidate wants to talk in the rain I said me. I am so happy to be here, happy to be here with your great AG secretary, former governor Tom Vilsack. And I always think of one thing, when I think of this steak fry. The biggest, biggest compliment of all and that Tom Harkin was Paul Wellstone’s best friend in the United […]

Iowa Democratic Steak Fry - Sept. 21, 2019
September 21, 2019
Hello Iowa! I'm here today to stand up for the Constitution of the United States of America. No one is above the law, not even the President of the United States. When the Muller report came out, it showed three things. First, that a hostile foreign government attacked our 2016 election system in order to help Donald Trump. Second, that Donald Trump, as a candidate, welcomed that help and third that, as president, when our federal government tried to investigate those activities Donald Trump did everything he could to obstruct […]

Iowa Democratic Steak Fry - Sept. 21, 2019
September 21, 2019
I've been a fighter and I have taken on some tough fights. I've taken on the big oil companies. I've taken on the pharmaceutical companies. I've taken on transnational grains. I've taken on the big interest the special interests, who have always been keeping working families down; have always been motivated by profit to the expense of the American family. I have taken them on and I have won and it's not been about a pretty speech, it's been about the work I've actually done. And so when I stand […]

New York City Rally - Sept. 16, 2019
September 16, 2019
Warren gave this speech at a campaign rally in Washington Square Park in New York City. Thank you, Maurice. And can we hear it for state Senator Biaggi and Assemblywoman Niou, fabulous. Hello, New York. Now, some of you know this. I never thought I’d get into politics, not in a million years, but when I got into this fight, I quickly found out nobody makes it on their own. If you’re going to make any kind of progress in this country, you need allies who know how to fight. […]

“Wow this is something, thank you everyone! I am Amy Klobuchar, the senator from Minnesota, where we can see--where we can see Iowa from our porch. And now there are some comparisons made between the Minnesota and Iowa state fairs. I'm not gonna say which one is better but I will say this; I am very much looking forward to your butter cow, Iowa we'll see how it compares to our princess Kay of the Milky Way and the revolving refrigerator of the 12 butter bus of the princesses. I […]
