Thank you very much.

On behalf of the great

Empire State and the whole family of New York, let me thank you for the great privilege of being able to address this convention.

Please allow me to skip the stories and the poetry and the temptation to deal in nice but vague rhetoric.

Let me instead use this valuable opportunity to deal immediately with the questions

that should determine this election and that we all know are vital to the American people.

Ten days ago, President Reagan admitted that although some people in this country seem to be doing well nowadays,

others were unhappy, even worried about themselves, their families, and their futures.

The President said that he didn't understand that fear.

He said, why this country is a shining city on a hill.

And the President is right.

In many ways we are a shining city on a hill.

But the hard truth is that not everyone is sharing in this city's splendor and glory.

A shining city is perhaps all the President sees from the portico of the White House

and veranda of his ranch where everyone seems to be doing well. But there's another city.

There's another part to the shining city.

The part where some people can't pay their mortgages and most young people can't afford one.

Where students can't afford the education they need and middle -class parents watch the dreams they hold for their children evaporate.

In this part of the city there are more

More poor than ever.

More families in trouble.

More and more people who need help but can't find it.

Even worse, there are elderly people who tremble in the basements of the houses there.

And there are people who sleep in the city streets in the gutter where the glitter doesn't show.

There are ghettos where thousands of young people without a job

or an education give their lives away to drug dealers every day.

There is despair, Mr. President, in the faces that you don't see,

in the places that you don't visit in your shining city.

In fact, Mr. President, this is a nation.

Mr.

President, you ought to know

that this nation is more a tale of two cities than it is just a shining city on a hill.

Maybe, maybe Mr. President, if you visited some more places, maybe if you went to Appalachia where some people still live in sheds,

maybe if you went to Lackawanna where thousands of unemployed steel workers wonder why we subsidized foreign steel.

Maybe, Mr. President, if you stopped in at a shelter in Chicago and spoke to the homeless there,

maybe, Mr. President, if you asked a woman who had been denied the help she needed to feed her children

because you said you needed the money for a tax break for a millionaire

or for a missile we couldn't afford to use.

Maybe, maybe Mr. President, but I'm afraid not, because the truth is, ladies and gentlemen,

that this is how we were warned it would be.

President Reagan told us from the very beginning that he believed in a kind of social Darwinism, survival of the fittest.

Government can't do everything, we were told,

so it should settle for taking care of the strong and hope that economic ambition and charity will do the rest.

Make the rich richer, and what falls from the table will be enough for the middle class

and those who are trying desperately to work their way into the middle class.

You know, the Republicans called it trickle -down when Hoover tried it.

Now they call it supply -side, but it's the same shining city for those relative few who are lucky enough to live in its good neighborhoods,

but for the people who are excluded, for the people who are locked out,

all they can do is stare from a distance at that city's glimmering towers.

It's an old story.

It's as old as our history.

The difference between

Democrats and Republicans has always been measured in courage and confidence.

The Republicans...

The Republicans believe that the wagon train will not make it to the frontier unless some of the old,

some of the young, some of the weak are left behind by the side of the trail.

The strong, the strong they tell us will inherit the land.

We Democrats believe in something else.

We Democrats believe that we can make it all the way with the whole family intact, and we have more than once.

Ever since Franklin Roosevelt lifted himself from his wheelchair to lift this nation from its knees,

wagon train after wagon train to new frontiers of education,

housing, peace, the whole family aboard constantly reaching out to extend and enlarge that family, lifting them up into the wagon on the way,

blacks and Hispanics and people of every ethnic group and Native Americans, all those struggling to build their families

and claim some small share of America for nearly 50 years we carry them all to new levels of comfort

and security and dignity even affluence

and remember this some of us in this room today are here only

because this nation had that kind of confidence and it would be wrong to forget that

So, here we are at this convention to remind ourselves where we come from

and to claim the future for ourselves and for our children.

Today our great

Democratic Party, which has saved this nation from depression, from fascism, from racism, from corruption,

is called upon to do it again this time to save the nation from confusion

and division from the threat of eventual fiscal disaster and most of all from the fear of a nuclear holocaust.

That's not going to be easy.

Mo Udall is exactly right, it won't be easy and in order to succeed we must answer our opponents polished

and appealing rhetoric with a more telling reasonableness

and rationality we must win this case on the merits

we must get the American public to look past the glitter beyond the showmanship to the reality,

the hard substance of things and we'll do it not

so much with speeches that sound good as with speeches that are good and sound,

not so much with speeches that will bring people to their feet as with speeches that will bring people to their senses.

We must make the American people hear our tale of two cities.

We must convince them that we don't have to settle for two cities, that we can have one city,

indivisible, shining for all of its people.

Now, we will have no chance to do that if what comes out of this convention is a babble of arguing voices.

If that's what's heard throughout the campaign, dissonant sounds from all sides.

we will have no chance to tell our message.

To succeed, we will have to surrender some small parts of our individual interests to build a platform

that we can all stand on at once and comfortably, proudly singing out.

We need a platform we can all agree to so

that we can sing out the truth for the nation to hear in chorus.

It's logic so clear and commanding that no slick Madison Avenue commercial,

no amount of geniality, no martial music will be able to muffle the sound of the truth.

And we Democrats must unite.

We Democrats must unite so that the entire nation can unite because surely the Republicans won't bring this country together.

Their policies divide the nation into the lucky and the left out, into the royalty and the rabble.

The Republicans are willing to treat that division as victory.

They would cut this nation in half into those temporarily better off and those worse off than before.

And they would call that division recovery.

100

Now.

101

We should not be embarrassed or dismayed or chagrined if the process of unifying is difficult,

102

even wrenching at times.

103

Remember that unlike any other party, we embrace men and women of every color,

104

every creed, every orientation, every economic class.

105

In our family are gathered everyone from the abject poor of

106

Essex County in New York to the enlightened affluent of the Gold Coast at both ends of the nation.

107

And in between is the heart of our constituency,

108

the middle class, the people not rich enough to be worry -free but not poor enough to be on welfare

109

the middle class those people who work for a living

110

because they have to not

111

because some psychiatrist told them it was a convenient way to fill the interval between birth and eternity

112

white -collar and blue -collar young professionals men

113

and women in small business desperate for the capital and contracts

114

that they need to prove their worth

115

we speak for the minorities who have not yet entered the mainstream

116

we speak for ethnics who want to add their culture to the magnificent mosaic that is America we speak

117

We speak for women who are indignant that this nation refuses to etch into its governmental commandments the simple rule,

118

thou shalt not sin against equality.

119

A rule so simple.

120

Thank you.

121

I was going to say, and I perhaps dare not, but I will.

122

It's a commandment so simple it can be spelled in three letters.

123

E. R.

124

A. We speak for young people demanding an education and a future.

125

We speak for senior citizens who are terrorized by the idea that their only security,

126

their Social Security is being threatened.

127

We speak for millions of reasoning people fighting to preserve our environment from greed and from stupidity.

128

And we speak for reasonable people who are fighting to preserve our very existence from a macho intransigence

129

that refuses to make intelligent attempts to discuss the possibility of nuclear holocaust with our enemies.

130

They refuse.

131

They refuse because they believe we can pile missiles so high

132

that they will pierce the clouds and the sight of them will frighten our enemies into submission.

133

Now we're proud of this diversity as Democrats.

134

We're grateful for it.

135

We don't have to manufacture

136

it the way the Republicans will next month in Dallas by propping up mannequin delegates on the convention floor.

137

But we, while we're proud of this diversity, we pay a price for it.

138

The different people that we represent have different points of view, and sometimes they compete and even debate and even argue.

139

That's what our primaries were all about.

140

But now the primaries are over and it is time

141

when we pick our candidates and our Platform here to lock arms and move into this campaign together

142

If you need any more inspiration to put some small part of your own difference aside to create this consensus,

143

then all you need to do is to reflect on what the Republican policy of divide

144

and cajole has done to this land since 1980.

145

Now the president has asked the American people to judge him on whether

146

or not he's fulfilled the promises he made four years ago.

147

I believe as Democrats we ought to accept that challenge

148

and just for a moment let us consider what he has said and what he's done.

149

Inflation is down since 1980, but not because of the supply side miracle promised to us by the president.

150

Inflation was reduced the old fashioned way with a recession, the worst since 1932.

151

Now how did we...

152

We could have brought inflation down that way.

153

How did he do it?

154

55 ,000 bankruptcies two years of massive unemployment two hundred thousand farmers

155

and ranches forced off the land more homeless more homeless than

156

at any time since the Great Depression in 1932 more hungry

157

in this world of enormous affluence the United States of America more hungry more poor most of them women and and he

158

We paid one other thing, a nearly $200 billion deficit threatening our future.

159

Now we must make the American people understand this deficit because they don't.

160

The president's deficit is a direct and dramatic repudiation of his promise in 1980 to balance the budget by 1983.

161

How large is it?

162

The deficit is the largest in the history of the universe.

163

President Carter's last budget had a deficit less than one -third of this deficit.

164

It is a deficit that, according to the president's own fiscal advisor,

165

may grow to as much as $300 billion a year for as far as the eye can see.

166

And ladies and gentlemen, it is a debt so large

167

that almost one half of the money we collect from the personal income tax each year goes just to pay the interest.

168

It is a mortgage on our children's future that can be paid only in pain,

169

and that could bring this nation to its knees.

170

Now don't take my word for it.

171

I'm a Democrat.

172

Ask the Republican investment bankers on Wall Street.

173

what they think the chances of this recovery being permanent are.

174

You see, if they're not too embarrassed to tell you the truth, they'll say that they're appalled and frightened by the president's deficit.

175

Ask them what they think of our economy now

176

that it's been driven by the distorted value of the dollar back to its colonial condition.

177

Now we're exporting agricultural products and importing manufactured ones.

178

Ask those Republican investment bankers what they expect the rate of interest to be a year from now.

179

And ask them, if they dare tell you the truth,

180

you'll learn from them what they predict for the inflation rate a year from now because of the deficit.

181

Now, how important is this question of the deficit?

182

Think about it practically.

183

What chance would the Republican candidate have had in 1980

184

if he had told the American people that he intended to pay for his so -called economic recovery with bankruptcies,

185

unemployment, more homeless, more hungry, and the largest government debt known to humankind.

186

If he had told the voters in 1980 that truth, would American voters have signed the loan certificate for him on election day?

187

Of course not.

188

That was an election won under false pretenses.

189

It was one with smoke and mirrors and illusions.

190

And that's the kind of recovery we have now as well.

191

What about foreign policy?

192

They said that they would make us and the whole world safer.

193

They say they have by creating the largest defense budget in history,

194

one that even they now admit is excessive, by escalating to a frenzy the nuclear arms race,

195

by incendiary rhetoric, by refusing to discuss peace with our enemies, by the loss of 279 young

196

Americans in Lebanon in pursuit of a plan and a policy that no one can find or describe.

197

We give money to Latin American governments that murder nuns and then we lie about it.

198

We have been less than zealous in support of our only real friend, it seems to me, in the Middle East,

199

the one democracy there, our flesh and blood ally, the state of Israel.

200

Our policy, our foreign policy drifts with no real direction other than an hysterical commitment to an arms race

201

that leads nowhere if we're lucky.

202

And if we're not, it could lead us into bankruptcy or war.

203

Of course we must have a strong defense.

204

Of course Democrats are for a strong defense.

205

Of course Democrats believe that there are times that we must stand and fight, and we have.

206

Thousands of us have paid for freedom with our lives.

207

But always, when this country has been at its best, our purposes were clear.

208

Now they're not.

209

Now our allies are as confused as our enemies.

210

Now we have no real commitment to our friends or to our ideals, not to human rights, not to the refuseniks,

211

not to Sakharov, not to Bishop Tutu and the others struggling for freedom in South Africa.

212

We...

213

We have in the last few years spent more than we can afford.

214

We have pounded our chests and made bold speeches.

215

But we lost 279 young

216

Americans in Lebanon.

217

And we live behind sandbags in Washington.

218

How can anyone say that we are safer, stronger, or better?

219

That is the Republican record.

220

That its disastrous quality is not more fully understood by the American people,

221

I can only attribute to the president's amiability and the failure by some to separate the salesman from the product. And now...

222

Now it's up to us, now it's up to you and to me to make the case to America and to remind

223

Americans that if they are not happy with all that the president has done so far,

224

they should consider how much worse it will be if he is left to his radical proclivities for another four years unrestrained.

225

Unrestrained. If July brings back

226

Ann Gorsuch Burford, what can we expect of December?

227

Where would another four years take us?

228

Where would four years more take us?

229

How much larger will the deficit be?

230

How much deeper the cuts in programs for the struggling middle class and the poor to limit that deficit?

231

How high will the interest rates be? how much more acid rain killing our forests and fouling our lakes.

232

And ladies and gentlemen, please think of this.

233

The nation must think of this.

234

What kind of Supreme Court will we have?

235

Please.

236

We must ask ourselves what kind of court

237

and country will be fashioned by the man who believes in having government mandate people's religion and morality,

238

the man who believes that trees pollute the environment,

239

the man that believes that the laws against discrimination against people go too far.

240

A man who threatens

241

Social Security and Medicaid and help for the disabled.

242

How high will we pile the missiles?

243

How much deeper will the gulf be between us and our enemies?

244

And ladies and gentlemen will four years more make meaner the spirit of the American people.

245

This election will measure the record of the past four years

246

but more than that it will answer the question of what kind of people we want to be.

247

We Democrats still have a dream.

248

We still believe in this nation's future.

249

And this is our answer to the question.

250

This is our credo.

251

We believe in only the government we need.

252

But we insist on all the government we need.

253

We believe in a government that is characterized by fairness and reasonableness, a reasonableness that goes beyond labels,

254

that doesn't distort or promise to do things that we know we can't do.

255

We believe in a government strong enough to use words like love and compassion,

256

and smart enough to convert our noblest aspirations into practical realities.

257

We believe in encouraging the talented.

258

But we believe that while survival of the fittest may be a good working description of the process of evolution,

259

a government of humans should elevate itself to a higher order.

260

We, our government, our government should be able to rise to the level where it can fill the gaps

261

that are left by chance or by a wisdom we don't fully understand.

262

We would rather have laws written by the patron of this great city, the man called the world's most sincere

263

Democrat, St. Francis of Assisi, than laws written by Darwin.

264

We believe, we believe as Democrats that a society as blessed as ours, the most affluent democracy in the world's history,

265

one that can spend trillions on instruments of destruction, ought to be able to help the middle class in its struggle,

266

ought to be able to find work for all who can do it, room at the table, shelter for the homeless,

267

care for the elderly and infirm, and hope for the destitute.

268

And we proclaim as loudly as we can the utter insanity of nuclear proliferation and the need for a nuclear freeze,

269

if only to affirm the simple truth that peace is better than war because life is better than death.

270

We believe in firm, we believe in firm but fair law and order.

271

We believe proudly in the union movement.

272

We believe in a...

273

We believe in privacy for people, openness by government.

274

We believe in civil rights and we believe in human rights.

275

We believe in a single fundamental idea that describes better than most textbooks

276

and any speech that I could write what a proper government should be the idea of family,

277

mutuality, the sharing of benefits and burdens for the good of all, feeling one another's pain, sharing one another's blessings reasonably,

278

honestly, fairly, without respect to race or sex or geography or political affiliation.

279

We believe we must be the family of America, recognizing that at the heart of the matter, we are bound one to another,

280

that the problems of a retired school teacher in Duluth are our problems.

281

That the future of the child in Buffalo is our future.

282

That the struggle of a disabled man in Boston to survive and live decently is our struggle.

283

That the hunger of a woman in Little Rock is our hunger.

284

That the failure anywhere to provide what reasonably we might to avoid pain is our failure.

285

Now for 50 years

286

For 50 years, we

287

Democrats created a better future for our children using traditional democratic principles as a fixed beacon, giving us direction and purpose,

288

but constantly innovating, adapting to new realities.

289

Roosevelt's alphabet programs, Truman's NATO and the GI Bill of Rights, Kennedy's Intelligent Tax Incentives and the Alliance for Progress,

290

Johnson's Civil Rights, Carter's human rights and the nearly miraculous

291

Camp David peace accord.

292

Democrats did it.

293

Democrats did it and Democrats can do it again.

294

We can build a future that deals with our deficit.

295

Remember this, that 50 years of progress under our principles never cost us what the last four years of stagnation have.

296

We can deal with the deficit intelligently by shared sacrifice with all parts of the nation's family contributing, building partnerships with the private sector,

297

providing a sound defense without depriving ourselves of what we need to feed our children and care for our people.

298

We can have a future that provides for all the young of the present by marrying common sense and compassion.

299

We know we can.

300

Because we did it.

301

for nearly 50 years before 1980,

302

and we can do it again if we do not forget that this entire nation has profited by these progressive principles,

303

that they helped lift up generations to the middle class and higher, that they gave us a chance to work,

304

to go to college, to raise a family, to own a house, to be secure in our old age,

305

and before that to reach heights that our own parents would not have dared dream of.

306

that struggle to live with dignity is the real story of the shining city

307

and it's a story ladies and gentlemen that I didn't read in a book

308

or learn in a classroom I saw it

309

and lived it like many of you I watched a small

310

man with thick calluses on both his hands worked 15

311

and 16 hours a day

312

I saw him once literally bleed from the bottoms of his

313

feet a man who came here uneducated alone unable to speak the language who taught me all

314

I needed to know about faith and hard work by the simple eloquence of his example.

315

I learned about our kind of democracy from my father, and I learned about our obligation to each other from him and my mother.

316

They asked only for a chance to work and to make the world better for their children.

317

And they asked to be protected in those moments

318

when they would not be able to protect themselves this nation

319

and this nation's government did that for them and

320

that they were able to build a family and live in dignity

321

and see one of their children go from behind their little

322

grocery store in South Jamaica on the other side of the

323

tracks where he was born to occupy the highest seat in

324

the greatest state in the greatest nation in the only world we know is an ineffably beautiful tribute to the democratic process.

325

And ladies and gentlemen, on January 20, 1985, it will happen again, only on a much, much grander scale.

326

We will have a new president of the United States, a democrat born not to the blood of kings,

327

but to the blood of pioneers and immigrants and we will have america's first woman vice president the child of immigrants

328

And she, she, she will open with one magnificent and stroke a whole new frontier for the United States.

329

Now it will happen, it will happen if we make it happen, if you and I make it happen.

330

And I ask you now, ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, for the good of all of us, for the love of this great nation,

331

for the family of America, for the love of God, please make this nation remember how futures are built.

332

Thank you and God bless you.

/w/ — mit runden Lippen, nicht wie das deutsche „w“ (/v/): wagon /ˈwæɡən/, welfare /ˈwɛlˌfɛɚ/, nowhere /ˈnoʊ.(h)wɛɹ/, wisdom /ˈwɪzdəm/, equality /ɪˈkwɑ.lɪ.ti/
Stimmhafter Auslaut — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ am Wortende nicht verhärten: refuse /ɹɪˈfjuːz/, remind /ɹəˈmaɪnd/, succeed /səkˈsiːd/, preserve /pɹəˈzɝv/, divide /dɪˈvaɪd/
/æ/ — offener als „ä“: wagon /ˈwæɡən/, democrat /ˈdɪməkɹæt/, bankruptcy /ˈbæŋkˌɹʌp(t).si/, embarrassed /ɪmˈbæɹ.əst/, magnificent /mæɡˈnɪfəsənt/

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
