IMMIGRATION: LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY PLAN

Right now we are in the middle of a jobs crisis, a border crisis, and a terrorism crisis. All energies of the federal government and the legislative process must now be focused on immigration security. That is the only conversation we should be having at this time.

I AM YOUR VOICE

America is a nation of believers, dreamers, and strivers that is being led by a group of censors, critics, and cynics. Remember: all of the people telling you that you can’t have the country you want, are the same people telling you that I wouldn’t be standing here tonight.

YOU ARE, WHETHER YOU ARE YET AWARE OF IT OR NOT, CHARGED WITH SAVING OUR UNION

A FUTURE WE CAN CHOOSE

Science allows us to communicate across the seas and fly above the clouds, to cure disease and understand the cosmos. But those same discoveries can be turned into ever more efficient killing machines. The wars of the modern age teach us this truth. Hiroshima teaches this truth. Technological progress without an equivalent progress in human institutions can doom us. The scientific revolution that led to the splitting of an atom requires a moral revolution as well.

WE TOOK ACTION LAST NIGHT TO STOP A WAR. WE DID NOT TAKE ACTION TO START A WAR. I have deep respect for the Iranian people. They are a remarkable people, with an incredible heritage and unlimited potential. We do not seek regime change. However, the Iranian regime’s aggression in the region, including the use of proxy fighters to destabilize its neighbors, must end, and it must end now.

THE KIND OF WORLD WE ALL WANT If we prioritize truth over lies, tolerance over prejudice, empathy over indifference and experts over ignoramuses—then maybe, just maybe, we can stop the greatest propaganda machine in history, we can save democracy, we can still have a place for free speech and free expression, and, most importantly, my jokes will still work.

YOU’RE RIGHT WHERE YOU BELONG Don’t grow cynical. Don’t respond to ignorance by embracing a world view that suggests you must choose between your faith and your patriotism. Don’t believe that you have to choose between your best impulses and somehow embrace a world view that pits us against each other—or, even worse, glorifies violence. Understand your power to bring about change. Stay engaged in your community. Help move our country forward—your country forward.
