it the last month has brought the stakes of this election into sharp relief ours
32
this beautiful movement was built over the past year and a half campaigning across
33
Michigan's biggest cities and its smallest towns.
34
We spoke of a brighter, a bigger, more hopeful Michigan.
35
There's an astroturfed, corporate -funded advertising campaign built to deceive and distract.
36
Rather than try to unite us to contend with the crisis of gas or groceries,
37
the opposition decided to try to divide us at first they pointed to my name
38
and my faith as if to say you know he's a little different
39
and when it didn't work they tried to guilt me by association
40
and when that didn't work they went all in on one of the ugliest campaigns we've seen in our lifetimes
41
it they might have been pointing to my name and my faith
42
but we all know that my name
43
and my faith aren't the reason you can't afford your gas not the reason you can't afford your groceries
44
not the reason you can't see a duck now as i was campaigning some of you would come up and ask
45
how come you don't hit back how come you don't call them racist or hateful
46
Because here's the thing I didn't run for myself and in truth they weren't targeting me
47
They were just weren't just attacking me.
48
They were targeting and attacking you
49
They were targeting and attacking the very idea of America
50
See they hate the idea of an America big enough for anyone who looks a little different or praise a little different
51
Or whose family comes from a different part of the world Come on.
52
Da?
53
Includes me, but it also includes anyone
54
and everyone who doesn't look like them pray like them love like them or isn't rich like them
55
So they turn this race into a simple choice
56
They want an America that is too small for some of us.
57
We know that America is big enough for all of us
58
We're big enough to take on the crises that we face day by day
59
Trump's insults became uglier and coarser but I got to spend those days with you

75
See, I didn't get into this to defend myself.
76
No, I got into it because their fights are my fight
77
and their hopes are all of our hopes
78
we don't do this work for ourselves
79
we do this work for each other to defend us all from another generation's youth treasure
80
and opportunity squandered at the altar of endless war to defend us all from corporate oligarchs who've bought
81
and sold our government to rig the system against us to
82
defend us all from a health care system more interested in monetizing our illness than healing our bodies
83
and minds to defend us all from air too putrid to breathe

Senator to the super PACs

110
million dollars against us thank you for giving me the opportunity to beat you twice

i'm not a politician i'm a doctor with an 11 letter first name they told us they told us
119
when i when i
120
when i started this campaign there was no way to beat the money they told us
121
that someone with a name and my story, a Muslim was unelectable, let alone in a statewide
122
Senate race in Michigan.
123
They told us that old -fashioned politics was dead,
124
that traveling the state to have real conversations with real people in real places was a fool's errand.
125
They told us that the establishment was too strong, that D .C was going to dictate who won and who lost,
126
that Washington and its special interests didn't want us.
127
They told us that when all the votes had been counted on august 4th
128
and then again on november 3rd it would have been time and money and energy wasted guess what it's november 3rd
129
and the votes have been counted and guess what we should show them
130
that a movement of the people by the people
131
and for the people will ultimately mend michigan understands the solidarity
132
it's the people who decide who we send to washington
133

135
that we can defeat a quarter of a billion dollars in a general election,
136
we can defeat the cynicism of a politics that preys on our earnestness, undersells our intelligence and exploit our disagreements tonight
137
Michigan we beat a machine
138
and we prove once again just how big America really is
139
because where else where else but in America can a doctor named Abdelrahman Mohammed Sayed a child of immigrants
140
raised by his father and his daughter of the American Revolution stepmother get elected senator from America's great estate.
141
They tried to confuse you.
142
So let me just set the record straight.
143
I love America.
144
I know exactly what America gave to me.
145
I saw it up close on trips to my family's native Egypt.
146
In a 15 -hour journey, I crossed 10 years difference in life expectancy.
147
I didn't have to go 15 hours.
148
I could go 15 minutes to Detroit or Pontiac and cross that same difference.
149
It's why I became a doctor.
150
America vaccinated me against diseases that killed an aunt and uncle I never got to meet.
151
It gave me incredible public schools, it gave me a public university education, it paid my medical education through the NIH.
152
I love America, but I love America enough to ask her to be America
153
for all her kids see America is not just a flag not just our red white
154
and blue it's not a few patriotic songs that we sing
155
or even a landmass we call home America is about these truths
156
that we hold that all people are created equal
157
and the inalienable rights we still struggle to guarantee life liberty the pursuit of happiness.
158
The best of America lives in the audacity of daring a contradiction, a more perfect union.
159
That despite the fact that you can't be more than perfect, we embrace the work of perfecting.
160
America's greatness, it lives in the moments of free people come together to expand that field of freedom.
161
America's greatness is the fight to erase the long -standing consequences of slavery and Jim Crow and segregation.
162
America's greatness is the fight to embrace all of her people regardless how they pray or if they pray, who they love or how they identify.
163

166
Our greatness is the fight for equal pay, for equal work, and full freedom of our bodies.
167
America's greatness is in the belief a new American still has in the hope that America has always represented.
168
America's greatness isn't about ignoring our floss it's the courage
169
that we have to correct them michigan it just shouldn't be this hard
170
shouldn't be this hard to buy a second bag of groceries or fill your tank
171
shouldn't be this hard to afford a home
172
it shouldn't be this hard to see a doctor in the richest most powerful country in the world
173
it shouldn't be this hard to pay your taxes and know
174
that that money is going to be spent on you
175
and your kids instead of dropping bombs on somebody else and their kids.
176
Shouldn't be this hard.
177
We don't need to be great again.
178
We need to embrace that thing about us that has always made us great.
179
The will to be more perfect.
180
And right now that means taking on the corporations and the billionaires, special interests who rigged the system against us for far too long.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
