Thanks very much for joining me.

Last night, Tuesday night, progressives won a major victory in the state of Minnesota.

Peggy Flanagan won the Democratic nomination for Senate with a blowout.

She won by some 20 points.

A week earlier, Dr. Abdul El -Sayed won the Democratic nomination from Michigan for the U .S.

Senate.

And what is very interesting to me.

I want you all to know this.

If you combine those two campaigns,

Michigan and Minnesota, billionaire -funded super PACs spent over 80 million dollars trying to defeat El -Sayed and Peggy.

Over 80 million dollars, and they lost.

We were able to win despite all of that massive spending.

So what does it tell you?

It tells you that not just in Michigan and in Minnesota, but all over this country,

and I want everybody to remember that we have been winning elections, primary elections, general elections, for the last year.

We won in New York City with Mamdani, we won congressional seats in New York State, we won in New Jersey,

in Colorado, in Ohio, in Montana, in Pennsylvania, Arizona, California, and in the last week in Michigan in Minnesota.

So what's going on?

What is going on?

And I think the answer is not complicated.

Working people all over this country are looking around them and they understand increasingly that the economy is totally rigged.

60 % of our people live in paycheck to paycheck.

In America people are struggling to put food on the table pay for rent or mortgage,

pay for health care, put aside a few bucks for a dignified, secure retirement, worried about their ability to send their kids to college,

worried in fact that their kids may very well have a lower standard of living than they do,

while the billionaire class has never ever had it so good.

You know, I remember when we were all in school, we studied the Gilded Age.

Remember the Gilded Age of the time of Rockefeller and Carnegie and J .P.

Morgan and Jay Gould and all those guys at the end of the 19th century?

And everyone said, wow, how unequal society was Gilded Age.

Right now, inequality is much worse than it was in the Gilded Age.

You got one guy, Mr. Musk, owning more wealth than the bottom half of American households, top 1%, or even more wealth than the bottom 93%.

And the American people see that.

And what they also understand is the reason the government is not acting to protect their interest is

that many of the people in Congress are owned by the billionaire class

and corporate interest as a result of a corrupt campaign finance system.

And again, one of the extraordinary things about Michigan and Minnesota is

that people saw the tens and tens of millions of dollars of TV ads and all that stuff, and they said, wait a second.

If billionaires are trying to defeat people like El Saeed and Flanagan, maybe I'm going to stand with them.

So, where are we right now?

We're in a moment in history where we have the most dangerous president in the history of the United States of America.

A guy who happens not to believe in democracy, He happens to be an authoritarian, doesn't believe in the Constitution or the rule of law.

A president who is a kleptocrat.

He's made some $2 billion in personal wealth since he's been president in this term.

Somebody who is a narcissist, who if he had his way, I think would name half the buildings in the country after himself.

Somebody who lies all of the time.

somebody who campaigned on keeping us out of endless wars and then got us into this terrible war in Iran,

which has killed thousands of innocent people and disrupted the economies in America and all over the world.

So we've got to keep our eye on doing everything that we can to stop Trump's authoritarianism and his disastrous policies.

But on the other hand, We have got to fight for an agenda that works for working families.

It's not good enough to say, oh, Trump is terrible.

Yeah, most people know that.

Poll numbers are plummeting.

Many of his own supporters are catching on.

We need an agenda that says that in the richest country in the history of the world,

you know what? we can create an economy that works for all of our people, not just the people on top, okay?

It is not radical.

It is not far left.

It is not extreme to say that health care is a human right.

So it exists in every other major country on earth.

And we've got to take on the insurance companies.

We've got to take on the drug companies.

And we've got to move to a Medicare for all single -payer system.

It's not a radical idea to say that a $7 .25 an hour minimum wage is insane,

that we've got to raise the federal minimum wage to a living minimum wage, at least $20 an hour.

It is not insane to say that instead of putting $1 .1 trillion into a bloated military,

we should be investing billions of dollars to build the millions of units of low -income and affordable housing that we need.

It is not a radical idea to say that at a time of massive income and wealth inequality, the billionaire class has got to stop paying their fair share of taxes.

Not a radical idea to understand that Donald Trump is crazy when he thinks that climate change is a hoax,

given what's happening all over the world right now, that we can create millions of good paying jobs,

transforming our energy system away from fossil fuel to energy efficiency and sustainable energy.

And certainly not a radical idea to say that if we're going to preserve democracy,

we cannot maintain a corrupt campaign finance system under Citizens United, which allows billionaires to try to buy elections.

So bottom line here, as progressives, we have a twofold task in front of us.

Number one, we've got to lead the effort against the Trump administration and all of their horrific policies.

Number two, as progressives, we've got to take on the Democratic establishment and fight for a Democratic Party, which is a party of working people,

of young people, of people of color, and not just the top -down party dominated by wealthy campaign contributors.

So that's what we've got to do, and the good news is we are making significant progress, but we've got to keep fighting.

The general election is going to be in early November, and our job is to make sure that our people win all across the country,

that Democrats gain control of the House, gain control of the Senate, and that we elect as many progressives as we possibly can.

A lot of work to be done.

Look forward to going forward with you.

Thank you all very much for what you're doing.

Take care.

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.
