1
Hello everybody.
2
Let me begin by thanking the millions of Americans who were actively involved in the election yesterday.
3
The people who knocked on doors, the people who made phone calls, and all the things that a winning campaign requires.
4
Thank you for what you did.
5
And let me also congratulate the great candidates who won in US Senate races, in House races, and in state elections all across America.
6
On a personal note, I look forward to working with all of the newly elected senators,
7
and I thank them very much for their hard work in this campaign and for giving the Democrats a strong majority.
8
Yesterday, Trump told us to vote as if he were on the ballot.
9
Vote as if he were on the ballot.
10
That's what he said, and that is exactly what the American people did.
11
Together, we stood up to authoritarianism and a president who does not believe in the Constitution or the rule of law,
12
and we won.
13
With Democratic control over the Senate and the House, we will now finally be able to hold Donald Trump accountable.
14
That is a big deal.
15
But as important as it is, it is not enough.
16
We have got to do more.
17
Whether we like it or not,
18
we are living in an unprecedented moment in American history where our country faces extraordinary crises.
19
We cannot and must not run away from them when Democrats assume power in January.
20
These crises must be dealt with.
21
It is no secret that in the United States and all over the world.
22
People are giving up on democracy.
23
Now, why is that?
24
And the answer is that all over the world,
25
not just in America, working families are struggling to put food on the table and pay for basic necessities,
26
while the very richest people become much richer.
27
And throughout our country and many other countries, ordinary people are saying, does their government,
28
does their government even know that they exist
29
or are elected officials too busy worrying about the needs of the rich and the powerful.
30
This is an American issue, but in fact an international issue.
31
And in my view, the American people have had enough.
32
They are demanding real change and bold policies that will dramatically improve their lives.
33
In the richest country on earth, the American people want a government that stands for working families,
34
not billionaire campaign contributors.
35
And that is not just Bernie Sanders talking.
36
According to a recent AP poll, 80 % of registered voters want either,
37
quote, complete and total upheaval or substantial change in how this country is run,
38
and that includes 97 % of Democrats, 90 % of Independents, and 58 % of Republicans.
39
In other words, the American people understand that the economy today is rigged,
40
and that we cannot continue the same old, same old establishment politics and establishment policies.
41
The American people want change, real change.
42
And yesterday's election confirms just that.
43
Let me give you some examples of what I mean and the issues that we have got to deal with.
44
In our country today, income and wealth inequality has reached unprecedented levels.
45
The top 1 % now owns more wealth than the bottom 93 percent.
46
One man, Elon Musk, owns more wealth than the bottom 53 percent of American households.
47
In my view, that is insane, and I think that's how most Americans feel.
48
Democrats, when they gain control in January of the House and the Senate, cannot ignore this grotesque inequality.
49
We must take on the greed of the very, very rich and their incredible wealth.
50
And that means a Democratic Congress must pass a wealth tax on billionaires.
51
At a time when billionaires pay a lower effective tax rate than truck drivers or nurses,
52
we must enact a 5 % wealth tax on billionaires so that we can provide every working -class family in the country.
53
A family of four with a $12 ,000 direct payment.
54
In other words, if you're a working class family of four, that's $3 ,000 for every man, woman, and child.
55
$12 ,000.
56
Furthermore, with that tax on billionaires, we can build 7 million units of low -income and affordable housing.
57
We can make public colleges and universities tuition -free,
58
and we can provide universal free child care for 13 million children.
59
That is what a wealth tax on billionaires can do.
60
But taxing the oligarchs means more than just taking on their wealth.
61
It means ending their stranglehold over our political system.
62
Elon Musk and his billionaire friends have poured a record -breaking two billion dollars into the recent election.
63
That is absurd.
64
The American people want
65
Congress to overturn
66
Citizens United, abolish super PACs, and establish public funding of elections.
67
Democracy must mean one person, one vote, not billionaires buying elections.
68
But it's not just massive income and wealth inequality that we have to deal with or a corrupt campaign finance system.
69
In America today, as everybody knows, and I get the same response wherever I go in this country,
70
everybody understands that our health care system is broken, it is dysfunctional, and it is wildly expensive.
71
We spend twice as much per person on health care as any other major country.
72
Almost twice as much.
73
Yet, despite that huge expenditure, more than 90 million
74
Americans are uninsured or underinsured.
75
Over a half a million people go bankrupt each year because of medical debt.
76
We pay the highest prescription drug prices in the world and,
77
tragically, more than 60 ,000 Americans die unnecessarily every year because they cannot afford medical care.
78
How cruel is that?
79
Yes, we must repeal the trillion dollars in cuts
80
Trump made to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act to prevent 15 million
81
Americans from losing their health care.
82
Yes, we must restore ACA tax credits to stop the outrageous premium spikes for 20 million
83
Americans, but that is nowhere near enough.
84
Health care must be considered as a human right, not a privilege.
85
That means passing
86
Medicare for All legislation now supported by 66 % of the American people.
87
As an immediate first step, Democrats must lower the Medicare eligibility age from 65 down to 55,
88
expand Medicare to cover dental, vision, and hearing, and guarantee universal health care coverage for every child from birth to age 19.
89
All of this can be accomplished with 51 votes in the Senate through the reconciliation process.
90
But it's not just income and wealth inequality that we have to deal with, or a corrupt campaign finance system, or a dysfunctional health care system.
91
We must deal with artificial intelligence, the most transformational technology in the history of humanity.
92
In America today, big tech oligarchs are spending trillions of dollars on artificial intelligence and robotics with virtually no regulation.
93
This revolutionary technology will transform the lives of every man, woman and child in our country and around the world.
94
Left unchecked, AI and robotics will destroy tens of millions of jobs, devastate our children's mental health,
95
eviscerate our privacy rights, drive up electricity rates, strain water supplies, and transform warfare.
96
If AI becomes smarter than human beings and escapes human control,
97
it will also pose an existential threat to the very existence of humanity.
98
We cannot allow a handful of big tech billionaires to become even richer
99
and more powerful by ramming this dangerous technology down our throats.
100
Democrats must enact a national moratorium on AI data centers,
101
must pause advanced AI development, and ban superintelligence.
102
And, by the way, I might mention that yesterday
103
In the election, in dozens of communities throughout our country, citizens voted for a moratorium on the construction of data centers.
104
In other words, a moratorium on data centers is exactly what the American people want.
105
But my friends, it is not just oligarchy, a corrupt campaign finance system, a broken healthcare system, and uncontrolled AI.
106
In America today, while the very rich get richer,
107
60 % of our people live paycheck to paycheck and millions work long,
108
long hours for incredibly low wages.
109
That must change.
110
The $7 .25 an hour federal minimum wage is a starvation wage.
111
Democrats must raise it to a living wage of at least $20 an hour
112
and make it easier for workers to form unions by passing the PRO Act.
113
A job must lift people out of poverty, not keep them in it.
114
Further, in our country today, one -third of our seniors are struggling economically, and more than 20 % survive,
115
are trying to survive, on less than $15 ,000 a year.
116
Nearly half of older
117
Americans have no retirement savings and no idea how they will retire with a shred of dignity.
118
Meanwhile, Elon Musk pays the same amount into Social Security as someone earning $184 ,600 a year.
119
That is absurd.
120
By applying the Social Security payroll tax to all income above $250 ,000, including capital gains and dividends,
121
we could increase benefits by $2 ,400 a year, lift millions of seniors out of poverty, improve cost -of -living adjustments,
122
and keep Social Security solvent for generations without raising taxes on the bottom 91 percent of Americans.
123
We must also restore the traditional pension plans corporate America took away
124
so that every worker can count on a guaranteed income in retirement.
125
That is what a Democratic Congress must do.
126
Let me be clear.
127
In America today, we spend more on the military than the next six nations combined.
128
Despite massive waste, fraud, and abuse,
129
the Pentagon has repeatedly failed independent audits and cannot account for trillions of dollars in spending.
130
Adding insult to injury,
131
Trump has dragged us into an illegal and unconstitutional war in Iran that will cost hundreds of billions of dollars.
132
We must end this disastrous war, we must cut off all funding for the genocidal government in Israel,
133
and we must substantially reduce military spending.
134
Instead of pouring $1 .1 trillion into a bloated
135
Pentagon and never -ending wars, a Democratic Congress must build the best public education system in
136
the world with no teacher earning less than $60 ,000 a year.
137
And let me touch on one more subject that
138
Democrats must deal with.
139
Since Trump took office, ICE agents have shot American citizens in cold blood, have broken down doors to arrest people,
140
and have sent five -year -old children to detention centers.
141
These actions are not only immoral and disgraceful, they are unconstitutional.
142
Democrats must immediately rescind the $75 billion
143
Republicans gave Trump to fund his domestic army.
144
Instead of ICE agents terrorizing communities throughout the country,
145
we must finally move to comprehensive immigration reform and a path toward citizenship for the undocumented.
146
Let's be clear.
147
All of the policies I have just discussed and more that I have not mentioned are not radical.
148
They are precisely what a strong majority of the American people want.
149
So we are in a moment in American history where a lot of folks are losing faith in democracy.
150
They are struggling every day just to stay alive,
151
while at the same time billionaires have more money than they can spend in a thousand lifetimes.
152
are getting richer and richer all of the time.
153
So what we are talking about now is not only the need to fight for economic justice,
154
we are fighting to give hope to the American people, to allow them to understand that in fact their government can work for them,
155
can address the crises that they face, and will pay attention to the needs of the men,
156
women, and children in our country who are struggling and not just the very, very wealthy campaign contributors.
157
That is, in my view, what Democrats have got to do when they assume power in January.
158
We can do it, we must do it, and I look forward to working with all of you to make sure that it happens.
159
Thank you all very much.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
