I'd like to talk about dignity, respect, patriotism, and duty.

And I'd like to talk about Senator Bernie Sanders.

He's somebody that I have disagreements with.

But over the last 10 years is a person I have come to greatly admire.

It's important to be able to look at somebody with whom you have political disagreements

in a functioning democracy, in a republic, and be able to find virtue in their character,

in their decency, in their conviction.

How many of you have the ability to sit across the table,

to sit in a room with somebody that you have strong disagreements with

and just be able to listen, just be able to sit through the exposure to somebody's

different perspectives. Because this quality has been eradicated in America over recent years.

There is a brittleness. There is an intolerance to the concepts of dissent. People being exposed to a

contrary opinion routinely lose their minds. And the only person that in the end, all of that

accumulates towards helping is, of course, the person who believes in American democracy

the least and wants power the most, which is Donald Trump. But back to Senator Sanders.

This is a man of conviction, a man of integrity. A man who looks you in the eye and tells you what he believes and why he

believes it. Bernie Sanders will never cut and run from those convictions. Even though I think he may be

misguided here and there.

The issue at this moment in America, the great crisis we face is a crisis of judgment

and a crisis of integrity, a crisis of decency and of duty.

And so I want you to watch the pain on Senator Sanders' face.

Watch it. Observe it. As this hearing starts to go off the rails. Now let me introduce the characters.
