He told the audience:

"I see you. I love you. I see you. I love you. I see you. I love you. We in this room need to reawaken that American spirit, that we see each other for who we are. We share a common dignity that we share a common destiny, that we share a common origins created equally, that we are bound together by spirit. We are bound together by history, that there is no future for some Americans and not others, there's no red future, or no blue future, no democratic future, no republican future. There's just one American future. And we will never get there if we don't see each other."

"Please don't just come here today, and then go home, go to the Hill today. Get up and please get up in the face of some Congress people and tell them look, I'm advocating for easy stuff. It's not complicated...And you should get in the face of your Congress people and tell them about common sense solutions. You got to go home and register some folk to vote. And I'm gonna be blunt about this. You can't complain about America if you're not voting in America."

"It's now time for the human, the movement of economic prosperity, it is now time for the movement for once and for all to end homelessness. And if we choose to accept that right now, we will be the nation that lives up to its promise of liberty and justice for all, that lives up to its promise that all are created equally, that lives up to its promises, and finally is for every single American, the home of the brave."
