 Thank you all very much as I think you know it has been reported that we have won Wyoming by a pretty good vote and I want to take this opportunity to thank the people of Wyoming for their support. It is a beautiful beautiful state and we just appreciate having won that Democratic caucus there today. It's fair to say that when we began this campaign we were considered to be a fringe candidate. We were 60, 70 points behind Secretary Clinton. In the last week or two the three last national polls that I have seen in two of them we are actually winning now by a small margin but actually ahead of Secretary Clinton and I think on the third poll she was one point ahead of me. In terms of the matchups with Republicans like Donald Trump in virtually every one of these matchups whether it is national whether it is state our margin against Trump is almost always much better than is Secretary Clinton. In terms of state victories and other territories etc we now have won 17 and she has won 20 and I think that it is very fair to say that we were way way behind at during the first half of this contest but we are having to say the least a very strong second half and we are closing very fast and now that Wyoming is behind us we are here in New York State and I've been pleased to sense a great deal of momentum we have had a number of rallies in Brooklyn in Queens where we are now in Manhattan in the Bronx we'll be going to Staten Island we'll be heading upstate no question in my mind that we have the momentum some of the polls out there are reflecting that momentum a few weeks ago we're 20 30 points behind last significant poll that I saw had us 10 points behind three weeks ago we were 326 pledge delegates behind Secretary Clinton we are now 214 delegates behind we have cut her lead by one-third and we expect and intend to do very well here in New York State and pick up a lot of delegates here and in some of the other states and then we're gonna head out west where I think we have an excellent chance to do very well out there so let me just say that I think it is beyond debate that the momentum in this campaign is with us that we are seeing in state after state large voter turnouts that we are seeing especially high turnouts among younger people there was a mythology I think that was widely believed before we got involved in this race that young people were apathetic we're not concerned about politics we're not going to come out to vote it looks like that has significantly changed and I am delighted to see so many young people while the future of their country wanting to play an active role in shaping the future that they will have to live with so you know during the first half of this campaign we have to deal with the deep south the most conservative part of our country we did very poorly there no question but now that we're in the second half of this campaign we are going to state after state which I think has a more progressive outlook we have won eight out of nine last contest we're looking forward to New York and other states as well we are in this race to win we have a path to victory and our intention is to win the Democratic nomination and then win the general election thank you yeah I do and I'll tell you why is I think all of you know Secretary Clinton has been very clear that she supports an increase in the minimum wage to $12 an hour I have from day one supported a $15 an hour minimum wage and what has happened all over this country and something that is really extraordinary and makes me very optimistic for the future of our country is that people who worked in the fast food industry they went out on strike they stood up and they fought back and they said seven and a quarter is not a living wage we can't make it on seven and a quarter an hour and then you had cities like Seattle and San Francisco and Los Angeles and then Oregon then California then New York raised the minimum wage to 15 bucks an hour I have been talking about $15 an hour for a long time I was out on the picket line with workers in Washington DC who are fighting for $15 an hour Secretary Clinton has said all we need is 12 bucks an hour well history has outpaced Secretary Clinton 12 miles an hour is not the issue now it is $15 an hour nationally and a elected president that's what I intend to do so it seems to me to be a little bit strange for somebody who advocates $12 an hour to be standing there at the signing of a piece of legislation providing 15 bucks an hour anybody else all right thank you all very much
