16
and Medicare for all
17
I just want to thank you everybody who knocked the door made a call sent a dollar posted a story
18
and most importantly gave us your stake in democracy you took a chance on the unlikeliest of candidates
19
so thank you this is all yours
20
michigan i cannot wait to serve you with the same big heartedness open -mindedness grit
21
and earnestness that you've shown me you welcomed me to your homes your churches your synagogues your vfw
22
and union halls you shared moments of frustration and sadness and vulnerability with me
23
you gave me grace and strength in my lowest moments
24
and the hope and inspiration that powered my best i love you back
25
and i hope that i can bring it all with me
26
i hope i can bring it all with me to washington in your service
27
thank you for your trust and your belief
28
and your kindness i'm going to take it all with me
29
and i hope to bring back the kind of leadership
30
that more than earns
31
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
60
learning about your struggles your hopes and the things
61
that inspire you a mom of two kids with a genetic
62
lung disease in East Jordan fighting the system to make sure her kids don't lose the meds
63
that they rely on to stay alive her hope
64
that they don't have to struggle with health insurance like she
65
has a grandma on the east side fighting to make sure
66
that the violence
67
that took her son doesn't take her grandson too her hope an america where boys get to grow up
68
i met josh the uaw auto worker fighting the corporate bosses
69
who hadn't raised their wages in two decades despite billions in profit
70
and they won that fight his hope an america where every single worker gets the right to a union.
71
I met a small business owner fighting to make sure
72
that another heart attack doesn't take food off the table for his 30 employees or their families.
73
His hope?
74
That his workers don't have to worry about how they'll feed their families.
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
84
and water too putrid to drink to defend us all from losing our voting
85
or our reproductive or our human rights see i i ran
86
to defend us all from politicians who want to divide us rather than movements
87
that work to dignify us across our primary and general election campaigns they spent over get this
88
350 million dollars trying to beat us
89
that is a record here in michigan 70 million dollars alone
90
in the primary funded by all the same cats who funded the general election
91
and that's a record anywhere in this country
92
but y 'all michigan we built something bigger than a bank account we built a movement
93
government of the people by the people and for the people
94
we showed that in a battle between the money and the many that the many really can win and
95
so to all the kids who watched
96
this last month to all the parents who struggled to explain why the president openly mocks someone for their name
97
or how they pray let them know tomorrow that the bad guy's lost let them know
98
I want you to let them know, let them know that we together, fighting for something bigger, we won.
99
So Mike, enjoy your retirement.
100
I know you got a house in Florida and two yachts.
101
See, you chose hate and Michigan chose hope.
102
May we never have to see the likes of you in this state again.
103
JD, Habibi, there is this delicious irony in the fact
104
that you're constitutionally obligated to swear me in in January
105
so you know that means Wolverine one Buckeyes zero
106
Donald look I know you you struggle with my name so after JD swears me in in anywhere, you can just go on and call me
107
Senator to the super PACs
108
and special interests who tried to beat us
109
we are coming for your system of politics who spent 42
110
million dollars against us thank you for giving me the opportunity to beat you twice
111
i want to say something here see they try to call you hateful if you believe that
112
palestinian kids should get to grow up in the land of their forefathers without being murdered by our tax dollars.
113
If you believe in equal rights to peace, dignity, and self -determination, that's not hate, it's love.
114
Michiganders, we want our taxes spent here, for schools here, and health care here, and infrastructure here.
115
We don't want our money sent to do apartheid or genocide or war.
116
michiganders believe in michigan and i believe in michiganders and i am so honored
117
that michiganders believed in me see you you took a bet on the least likely of candidates
118
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
and what washington will do we decide not the big money or their stooges, the people of Michigan will be heard.
134
We showed that we together, we can defeat a record 70 million dollars of outside spending, an 11 to 1 money disadvantage in a primary election,
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
America's greatness is in in the Union's struggle on a shop floor to push off the yoke of greed.
164
America's greatness is the fight to guarantee all of us the health care we need if we get sick.
165
Our greatness is the fight for clean air, clean water, and a good home.
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.
181
Now before I close, I've got some thank yous I've got to get
182
Thank you.
183
Thank you for everything.
184
There is no doing this without you and I wouldn't want to do it with anyone else.
185
I love you and I'm so grateful for you.
186
Amelia and Serene have been my inspiration the entire time.
187
I hope someday that they get to read about this in the history books, to understand just how big a part of it they really were.
188
To my parents and my parents in love, my grandparents, my siblings, my extended family, I can never really repay all that you've poured into me.
189
Thank you always for having my back, even if you'd rather I was a surgeon.
190
To my incredible campaign team, yo, we did it!
191
I asked you to lift me up and hold me down, and you did both with grace, humility, kindness, and efficiency.
192
No one else I'd rather ride with.
193
Best team in American politics.
194
To all of the incredible endorsers who entrusted me with your name, who took time out of your schedule to come campaign with us.
195
To the Michigan Dems who threw this amazing event for us tonight.
196
Our chair, Curtis Hotel, who's had our backs thick and thin.
197

198
thank you for standing with us.
199
and a special thank you to our sisters and brothers in labor.
200

201
I cannot wait to stand with you in the fight for Michigan's working people.
202
To all the community outreach organizations that came through for us in the final stretch, I cannot imagine doing this without you.
203
Thank you so much.
204
and to all of us here this fight is not yet over the day
205
i jumped into this race i promised you
206
that i'd put in the work fight the fights on your behalf
207
i asked you for your time your energy your support over the last 19 months
208
now i'm asking you to support us for the next six years
209
this work is bigger than one senator it's about changing the face of our politics
210
So please, do not send me to D .C all by myself.
211
All right, I need you all to come with me.
212
Winning a single U .S.
213
Senate seat was never the goal.
214
The goal is to use that seat to transform our politics.
215
Because it's high past time that we get money out of...
216
Politics!
217
Put money in your...
218
Politics!
219
Cosmedicare floor...
220
All!
221
The beauty and soul of America is that we the people are what America is all about.
222
We deserve an America for all her kids.
223
So Michigan, let's go build it.
224
Thank you so much.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
