- Secretary Clinton does
represent the establishment.
She has the entire
establishment behind her.
I am very proud to be the only candidate
up here who does not have a super PAC,
who's not raising huge sums of money
from largely from special interest.
We have raised three and a half million
individual contributions
averaging $27 a piece.
That is what the political
revolution means.
If we do not get a handle
on money in politics
and the degree to which big money
controls the political
process in this country,
nobody is gonna bring about the changes
needed for the middle
class and working families.
- Let's talk about issues.
- Let's talk about issues.
Alright, let's talk about why,
in the 1990s, Wall Street got deregulated.
Did it have anything to with the fact
that Wall Street has
spent billions of dollars
on lobbying and campaign contributions?
Well, some people might think
yeah, that had some influence.
Let's talk about climate change.
Do you think there's a reason why
not one Republican has the guts
to recognize that climate change is real
and that we need to
transform our energy system?
Do you think it has anything to do with
the Koch brothers and ExxonMobil
pouring huge amounts of money
into the political system?
It is undermining American democracy
and it is allowing Congress to
represent wealthy campaign contributors
and not the working
families of this country.
- [Voiceover] Today,
the Des Moines Register
has an editorial that calls for
an audit of the results, in quote,
"What happened Monday night at
"the Democratic caucuses was a debacle."
- Well I agree with the
Des Moines Register,
but let's not blow this out of proportion.
You have 22 delegates,
I have 20 delegates.
We need 2,500 delegates
to win the nomination.
You know, this is not the
biggest deal in the world.
At the end of the day, no
matter how it's recounted,
it will break roughly even.
I love and respect the
caucus process in Iowa.
See, I don't have to say it,
because they voted already.
And I love New Hampshire too.
I'm running for president because
I believe it is just too late for
establishment politics and
establishment economics.
We need a political revolution,
where millions of people stand up
and say loudly and clearly that
our government belongs to all of us
and not just a handful of
wealthy campaign contributors.
Thank you all.
