00:00:00.760 - 00:00:21.710

fixed period of time and then everything we do. The budget, taxes, regulatory subsidies, the whole array of government programs are judged as to how they lead us to full employment. The interim limitations on one person. Because when you get elected and you go to sit in

00:00:21.710 - 00:00:40.900

the oval office, there's still the Congress, there's still all the lobby groups that surround the White House like a widening train there there and all the other countries are there and there is a certain limitation on what anybody can do. But what I see for the

00:00:40.910 - 00:01:03.390

presidency, I see the role to emphasize certain values, to describe a future to project a vision not only for our own country, but for the rest of the world. And I see the need to turn this country around. We've made a faustian bargain With ourselves to

00:01:03.400 - 00:01:22.370

keep the gas guzzlers moving down the freeways, importing 45% of our oil. And how do we pay for it? We pay for it by selling $9 billion dollars of the most destructive weaponry that the mind of man has ever conceived. And I'd like to try to

00:01:22.370 - 00:01:46.820

slow that arms race down and slow that dependency on leadership from the White House and the Congress. And I'm prepared to provide that. I'm prepared to bring new people into Washington and try the same kind of you sift out the wheat from the chaff, I think,

00:01:46.830 - 00:02:06.510

given in san Francisco and it ought to make sense in Rhodesia makes sense where people are trying to get the rights of self determination. Yeah, there are a lot of issues that are left to its nuclear energy. I'm going to have three bills on my desk.

00:02:06.510 - 00:02:25.810

I hope this week or next, which will impose stringent safeguards on nuclear energy. And I intend to sign those bills over the opposition of and utilities over the opposition of a lot of people that like to stop them. And I think that's gonna go not all

00:02:25.810 - 00:02:38.460

the way, but it's going to be a major step and slowing down the rush to nuclear reactors that I think pose very serious hazards. And I think the people of the state ought to be aware of that. I think you ought to see through some of

00:02:38.460 - 00:02:59.990

the propaganda and I think a lot of people are gonna be surprised come next week. I think that uh I think that the people and I think we can win. I think we can win not only in California but across the country. And they fight against

00:02:59.990 - 00:03:15.740

the war in Vietnam and supporting the farm workers. And I'd like to try to take that same energy in that same direction to Washington. I got to do it with your help. It's gotta start right here. Began in Maryland. It's going to grow in Nevada. You

00:03:15.740 - 00:03:36.310

don't have to tell people that this country is still mhm, a very vital country. We don't need to concede anything to any country in the world, whether it be in music or economics or technology or environment. This is still a very revolutionary, vital country. And I

00:03:36.310 - 00:03:51.790

think my candidacy can symbolize and upbeat a new vitality that can move us into the rest of this century so that what we do will preserve what we have, so that the bounty we've received, we can pass on to those who come after us. Thank you

00:03:51.790 - 00:05:58.300

very much. I'll be around with you. Thank you very much. Yeah, Yeah, mm hmm. This brown bag rally got a great break from the weather. Couldn't have been a beautiful keep going. Mhm. For President of the United States. Mhm. For a very simple list

00:05:58.300 - 00:06:27.800

of reasons, I want a new face in Washington that is committed to political reform and against special interests. I agree that we will no longer. Thank you. Really. Thank you. Nice to see many friends here. You know, you probably think I do this a lot, but

00:06:27.800 - 00:06:45.550

I don't uh, I only do it when I think it's important and when I think it can make a difference and I don't really enjoy it that much. But you know what I mean? I did it in 1968. I did it in 1968 for Bobby Kennedy

00:06:45.560 - 00:07:20.390

because there was a war in Vietnam and I did it in 1970 for several. We gotta go, man, right. No, I never envisioned before. I went to Maryland. I didn't know anybody there. And I got there. And just in three weeks, eight years

00:07:20.390 - 00:07:37.940

of Nixon and ford. We've heard that rhetoric in 68 about crime and welfare yet to really make the commitment to full employment. And that's the democratic tradition and that's the number one priority. If I'm fortunate enough to get this job to put this country to work

00:07:37.950 - 00:07:54.100

from one end of this coast to the other because unless we can do that, then all the other stuff is pretty meaningless. And I think that the country is ready in a way that it never has before to see the link and the interdependence between the

00:07:54.100 - 00:08:09.770

cities and the suburbs of new york city sinks. The city's don't make it to deteriorate for the suburbs aren't very far to follow. The blacks can't make it. Neither will the whites were one country and that unity is what we have to build on and I

00:08:09.770 - 00:08:30.480

don't want to sweep anything under the rug. But instead of the old, we have an acupuncture a united auto worker. So the route we're of rehabilitation of small steps moving in a certain direction and over the last year and a half, we've asked a lot of

00:08:30.480 - 00:08:46.090

questions. We posed a lot of contradictions that I think ought to be exposed. But we've also done a lot of things. Things that are small steps, but leaders, I think in the direction where we have to go a little things. For example, last month I signed

00:08:46.090 - 00:09:16.740

a bill that starting next year will limit the amount of water that a toilet can consume from seven gallons per flush 2, 3.5 gallons. Last week I signed a bill to give a 10% tax deduction to anyone that will install a solar heating unit. Two weeks

00:09:16.740 - 00:09:29.320

ago, I signed the bill putting in $25 million dollars for urban parks. So instead of having the people go to the park, so we're gonna have the parks come to the people and that's the way to start in the urban area. A lot of things that

00:09:29.450 - 00:09:44.790

we're trying to do in the, in the country. The first thing is full employment. If we don't do that, then everything else just falls apart. There are millions of people that are relegated to the backwaters of society. And I don't think it's easy. It isn't, but

00:09:44.790 - 00:09:57.900

at least with the full employment in this country, in shift between business and government is very profound, but since it's, they're going to be planned in a way that maximizes employment
