00:00Tomorrow, our nation marks 250 years since we declared our independence.
00:06250 years of a grand experiment in self-governance,
00:10an experiment so audacious that some in 1776 doubted it would last more than a few years,
00:16let alone a quarter of a millennium.
00:19From Lexington to Los Angeles, Selma to Seneca Falls,
00:23Morrisania to Midwood, Americans will come together for a day,
00:27just as we do each year.
00:29Families will gather around the grill.
00:31Fireworks will fill the night sky.
00:33This will be no ordinary day of celebration.
00:36250 years presents a rare opportunity for more than 340 million people to turn together.
00:44Communism is a mortal threat to American liberty.
00:48It is the greatest threat to our country, including World War I, World War II, Pearl Harbor, or even 9
00:57-11.
00:58We're not going to let this happen to us.
01:01Believe me, we're not letting it happen.
01:05Yet as we approach this magnificent anniversary, we see our American identity under a renewed attack.
01:13A generation after we fought and won the Cold War against the menace of communism,
01:19there is now a resurgence of the communist menace in our land,
01:23including from newcomers to our country who embrace ideas totally opposed to our way of life and our great success.
01:32These are not mere political disagreements like differences over taxes or regulations.
01:39Communism is a mortal threat to American liberty.
01:43It is the greatest threat to our country, including World War I, World War II, Pearl Harbor, or even 9
01:52-11.
01:52We're not going to let this happen to us.
01:55Believe me, we're not letting it happen.
01:59Because communism is the enemy of free people everywhere, everywhere in the world.
02:05It never works.
02:06It's the enemy of the Constitution.
02:08Above all, it's the enemy of July 4th, 1776.
02:14It is the enemy indeed, even while the radicals and extremists attack our incredible history at every turn,
02:22they are silent on the miserable history of communism itself because it never worked.
02:28Thousands of years, if you look at it under different names, under somewhat different ideologies and systems,
02:36that system has led to more death and destruction than any system ever tried.
02:41It killed 100 million people just in the last century alone.
02:47Communism is the exact opposite of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
02:52It's death, tyranny, and the pursuit of evil.
02:56The godless communist morality states that anything is justified to bring about inhuman visions
03:03and to really propose what's good.
03:08They don't want good.
03:09They don't love God, and they don't want God.
03:12They don't love religion, and they don't want religion, and they won't have it.
03:15But we will not let them win.
03:18They have no chance against us.
03:22They have no respect for law, justice, principle, tradition, or your God-given rights.
03:29It's an ideology of mass theft, mass control, mass lies, and mass murder.
03:36Such doctrines can be given no quarter in a democracy because the first thing they do when they get into
03:42power is turn around and destroy it.
03:44It always is destroyed, just as communists have done in other countries all over the world, no matter where you
03:52look.
03:52But very simply, communism represents the worst ideas and abuses in history by the worst people.
03:58The American founding represents the best ideas and traditions in history by the best people, like you.
04:09You can be loyal to Karl Marx, or you can be loyal to America.
04:14You can be a communist, or you can be a patriot.
04:18You cannot be both.
04:19As for those who peddle Marxist lies about our heritage, who tell our children that we live on stolen land,
04:28or that our heroes were oppressors,
04:31they're doing something much worse than slandering our past.
04:34They are slandering and attacking our future.
04:38I'm not going to let that happen.
04:39They're trying to tear down the great American character to destroy the people who declared independence,
04:46who crossed the Delaware, who settled the West, and conquered the skies.
04:51You know who those people are.
04:52But we will never let that happen.
04:55Our American ancestors did not shed their blood at Concord and Trenton, Gettysburg and Shiloh,
05:02Midway and Normandy,
05:03just so that a band of thieves, radicals, and lunatics could come in and loot, pillage our nation.
05:11Our heroes died to win, build, and to save, and to build truly a great country, the greatest country ever
05:18in the world.
05:23So on the eve of this 250th anniversary of American heritage,
05:30we resolve and swear for all to hear that the citizens of the United States of America
05:36will vanquish communism quickly.
05:40Don't let them take too much of your time.
05:43You know they're wasting your time, don't you?
05:45But we're not going to let them take too long or too much of our time as they play their
05:49games
05:50and send them into exile.
05:52We will send them quickly away, and we will continue to build our country bigger and better,
05:59stronger than ever before.
06:02America will never be a communist country.
06:11Good morning, my fellow Americans.
06:14Season after season, year after year,
06:17the tides have come in and out of New York Harbor.
06:21Long before the name New York had ever been spoken,
06:25Lenape dugouts crossed these currents.
06:27It was on these waters that tall masts crested the horizon,
06:31captained by explorers like Verrazano and Hudson,
06:34after whom we've named our bridges and rivers.
06:36And ever since, ships full of travelers weary from long journeys
06:40have passed through the narrows,
06:42the winds of the Atlantic at their backs.
06:44When those passengers lifted their heads
06:47to glimpse what lies just beyond the waves,
06:50what did they see?
06:52They saw land, lush and teeming with life.
06:55They saw men waiting at the docks to take them into bondage.
06:59They saw tenements, rife with squalor.
07:02They saw industry rumbling with activity,
07:04steam and smoke rising, a city on the move.
07:08They saw a towering monument to freedom,
07:11her torch glowing worldwide welcome.
07:14They saw New York City.
07:16They saw America.
07:18Tomorrow, our nation marks 250 years
07:21since we declared our independence.
07:24250 years of a grand experiment in self-governance,
07:28an experiment so audacious
07:30that some in 1776 doubted it would last more than a few years,
07:35let alone a quarter of a millennium.
07:36From Lexington to Los Angeles,
07:39Selma to Seneca Falls,
07:41Morrisania to Midwood,
07:43Americans will come together for a day,
07:45just as we do each year.
07:47Families will gather around the grill.
07:49Fireworks will fill the night sky.
07:51This will be no ordinary day of celebration.
07:55250 years presents a rare opportunity
07:57for more than 340 million people to turn together,
08:01both towards one another and towards ourselves,
08:05to take measure of who we are as a nation.
08:08When we look at America, what do we see?
08:12Here at City Hall,
08:14as I sit behind George Washington's desk,
08:16alongside new Americans who came to this country,
08:19I cannot see all of America.
08:21But like so many who came before,
08:23I can see New York City.
08:25The city I see today looks very different
08:27than the one that greeted George Washington.
08:29In July of 1776,
08:32our city simmered under the yoke of oppression.
08:34The British had imposed a colonial rule so repressive
08:37that 250 years ago, 80 miles south,
08:41a small group of newspaper editors, farmers, and soldiers
08:44signed their names on a document declaring truths
08:46that feel self-evident now,
08:48but were revolutionary then.
08:50Establishing the ideals our nation still strives to fulfill.
08:54The British did not take it well.
08:56War broke out.
08:57And that August,
08:58as the largest battle of the Revolutionary War
09:01unfolded in Brooklyn,
09:02batteries on Governor's Island took aim
09:04at British ships anchored just offshore.
09:06We were outgunned.
09:08We were outmanned.
09:09And we were soundly defeated.
09:11After only a few months,
09:13it appeared our fledgling attempt at democracy
09:15was on the precipice of collapse.
09:17But that night,
09:18with the moon overhead,
09:20thousands of our soldiers silently climbed into ferries
09:23and flat-bottom boats
09:24and escaped to Manhattan.
09:27The Continental Army survived to fight another day.
09:31Independence may have been declared in Philadelphia,
09:33but it was rescued in New York City.
09:36George Washington was the last to leave Brooklyn.
09:38As he waited at the river's edge,
09:40the sun beginning its rise,
09:41he would have looked out over New York City's waters
09:44and seen what so many have seen in the 250 years since.
09:48An opportunity to begin anew.
09:51Those opportunities,
09:53like everything in New York City,
09:54are not given.
09:56They are one.
09:57In 1838,
09:5811 years after New York outlawed slavery,
10:01a recently emancipated black man
10:03by the name of James Weeks
10:04sought to begin anew as well
10:06and to help hundreds of others do the same.
10:08He bought property in Brooklyn,
10:10won himself the right to vote,
10:12and sold lots to others newly freed.
10:14When they landed in New York Harbor,
10:16they knew they had something waiting for them
10:18that they had never had before,
10:20a home.
10:21Weeksville still stands today,
10:23a living, breathing testament
10:25to what we know America to be,
10:27a place each of us has the power to make.
10:31The harbor was busy those years
10:33as ships poured in from around the world.
10:35Hundreds of thousands of Irish immigrants
10:37arrived with stomachs aching
10:38from a famine manufactured by imperial cruelty.
10:41Chinese sailors settled in what is today Chinatown.
10:44Millions more traveled under the Statue of Liberty
10:47and through Ellis Island.
10:48Jewish people escaping pogroms.
10:50Italians fleeing poverty.
10:52Syrians seeking economic opportunity.
10:54Each of these new arrivals
10:56peered through portholes onto a city
10:58that was changing as fast as the nation.
11:00They saw merchants peddling their wares on the docks,
11:03streets being laid out on a grid,
11:05buildings rising into the clouds.
11:08They could not yet see the nativism they would face,
11:11the jobs they would be refused,
11:12the landlords who would not rent to them,
11:14and the abject labor and living conditions
11:16they would withstand.
11:17But no matter how much smog hung over the harbor,
11:20they still saw an opportunity to begin anew.
11:23Over the years that followed,
11:25despite laws enacted by the federal government
11:27to bar their entry,
11:28despite sweatshop fires
11:29that killed hundreds of women,
11:31despite riots aimed at their very existence,
11:34immigrants made homes here in New York City,
11:36and they helped to make New York City.
11:39That legacy of every generation of Americans
11:42insisting that the right to life,
11:44liberty,
11:44and the pursuit of happiness
11:45extends to them too,
11:47is no relic of the past.
11:48It carried millions of black Americans north
11:51during the Great Migration.
11:52It drew hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans
11:55to New York City after the Second World War.
11:57It invited countless others from the West Indies
11:59and South Asia and West Africa
12:00and across the world.
12:02And it is what brought my family to the city
12:04when I was seven years old.
12:06My family did not arrive by boat,
12:08although we saw the Statue of Liberty
12:09from the window of the plane.
12:11Even from the air,
12:12we could make out the promise of America,
12:14the promise of the beautiful patriotic work
12:16of rendering America,
12:18year after year,
12:20a little more faithful to its founding ideals.
12:22There is a term so often used
12:24to describe our nation
12:25and those who have shaped it,
12:27American exceptionalism.
12:28American exceptionalism,
12:29the conventional wisdom tells us,
12:31makes our freedom a little more free,
12:33is how we dug the Erie Canal
12:35and irrigated the West,
12:36is why children in faraway lands
12:38grow up dreaming of one day moving here.
12:40And yet the irony is that the story of America
12:42has so often been written by those
12:45who were told by others
12:46with power and influence and wealth
12:47that they were anything but exceptional.
12:49For generation after generation,
12:52we have been told that when the world
12:53has sent its people to our shores,
12:56it has not sent its best.
12:57It sent Puritans and Sikhs and Quakers
13:00and Muslims and Jewish people
13:01who were banished for praying the wrong way,
13:04worshiping the wrong gods,
13:05angering the wrong people.
13:07It sent peasants and serfs from slums and shtetls
13:10who were treated as less
13:11because they hardly owned clothes,
13:13let alone land.
13:14It sent immigrants from whom
13:15power was something someone else had.
13:18We are told that America is exceptional
13:20because we are richer,
13:22stronger,
13:23more powerful than everyone else.
13:26The truth, my friends,
13:27is that America is exceptional
13:28because here,
13:30nothing is fixed into place.
13:32The frontier may be closed,
13:34we may have walked on the moon,
13:36but the work of fulfilling the values
13:38first enshrined in the Declaration of Independence,
13:40that work endures,
13:42and it belongs to us all.
13:44It belongs, too, to our newest Americans,
13:46Americans, those standing here with me today,
13:48all of whom were recently naturalized.
13:50Nearly a decade ago,
13:52I, too, felt what you feel,
13:54the joy of no longer being just a New Yorker,
13:56but an American, too.
13:58You each hold a special power,
14:01the power to determine what America means.
14:04The powerful have always known their answer.
14:07America, in their view,
14:08is an arena of supremacy,
14:10where only a select few are allowed freedom,
14:12where not all are created equal.
14:14America, if you ask them,
14:16becomes less the more people it welcomes.
14:19America, they will tell you,
14:20belongs only to those with the right accent
14:22or the right shade of skin.
14:23The rest of us, they insist,
14:25should be grateful for merely being allowed to visit.
14:27How small they are,
14:29how weak,
14:30how unoriginal.
14:32At every moment in our past,
14:35those who led through exclusion and isolation
14:37have tried to win power and enrich themselves
14:40by turning us against one another.
14:42Division is the oldest trick in politics
14:44and the cheapest.
14:46But time and again,
14:48including 250 years ago,
14:50those forces of division
14:52have been vanquished
14:53by the forces of progress.
14:55As Thomas Paine once wrote,
14:57this new world hath been the asylum
14:59for the persecuted lovers
15:00of civil and religious liberty.
15:02Hither have they fled.
15:04And yet today,
15:06too many of our leaders
15:07do not believe in a vision of this nation
15:09as an asylum for the persecuted,
15:11but rather as one that persecutes
15:13those seeking asylum.
15:15As we mark 250 years,
15:18what do we see?
15:20We see a city of contradictions
15:22within a nation of contradictions.
15:25We see the wealthiest country
15:26in the history of the world,
15:28one where children go to sleep hungry
15:29while the world's first trillionaire
15:31hungers for more.
15:33We see monopolies
15:34that dominate every industry
15:36and oligarchs who buy elections.
15:39We see massed agents
15:40terrorizing our streets,
15:41eating food cooked
15:42by our undocumented neighbors
15:44before spiriting them away
15:45in unmarked vans.
15:47We see a nation
15:48whose immense wealth
15:49has been built
15:50by those with calloused,
15:52dirt-streaked hands,
15:53those who toil on factory floors
15:55and chisel into stone.
15:57And we see a nation
15:58that has allowed
15:58so much of that wealth
15:59to be held instead
16:00in the soft hands
16:02of a precious few.
16:04Yes, we see America
16:05in a health insurance industry
16:07that exploits the sick,
16:08but that is not all we see
16:09when we look for America.
16:11We see it, too,
16:12in the nurse
16:13who works a double shift
16:14and then stops on our way home
16:16to check on an ailing neighbor.
16:17Yes, we see America
16:19in corporate landlords
16:19for whom negligence
16:20is a business model.
16:22We see it, too,
16:23in the father
16:24who tucks his children into bed
16:25beneath a ceiling
16:26stained with leaks,
16:27who wakes before dawn
16:28to go to work
16:29and still believes
16:30his country can do better
16:32by his family.
16:33Yes, we see America
16:34when we spend our tax dollars
16:36on bombs and bailouts,
16:38when we sell our elections
16:39to the highest bidder.
16:40Yet we see it
16:41just as clearly
16:42in every American
16:44who still believes
16:44this country belongs
16:45to we, the people.
16:47We see America
16:48each time neighbors
16:49link arms with neighbors
16:50without asking
16:51how long they have lived here
16:52or what papers they have
16:54as ICE invades
16:55our neighborhoods.
16:56We see America
16:57each time those young and old
16:58stand in the beating rain
17:00or the stifling heat
17:01to cast their ballots.
17:02We see America
17:03each time working people
17:05demand more,
17:06not just for themselves,
17:07but for their fellow Americans.
17:09There are some
17:10who respond to those
17:11who ask for more
17:12from America
17:12with a simple refrain.
17:14Love it or leave it,
17:15they say.
17:16But patriotism
17:18has never been
17:19about pretending
17:19our nation
17:20is without flaws.
17:22Patriotism
17:22is every act
17:23of righteous dissent.
17:25It is every march
17:26led under the heavy sun.
17:27It is every protest
17:28held a decade
17:29before its time.
17:29It is precisely
17:31because we love
17:32this nation
17:33that we will not
17:34leave it.
17:35After all,
17:36who loves America
17:37more than those
17:38who have sacrificed
17:38so much to make it free?
17:40Today, I think
17:41not only of the 4th of July,
17:43I think too
17:44of the 9th of July.
17:46Five days after
17:47the Declaration of Independence
17:48was signed,
17:49it arrived here
17:50in our New York City.
17:52Redcoats had disembarked
17:53on Staten Island.
17:54More than 100 British ships
17:55loomed just offshore.
17:57Across this city,
17:59the Continental Army
18:00prepared for an invasion.
18:01George Washington
18:02commanded his brigades
18:04to assemble
18:04just a few feet
18:05from this building.
18:07It was known then
18:08as the Commons.
18:09Today,
18:10we call it
18:11City Hall Park.
18:12There,
18:13within range
18:14of British guns,
18:15Washington ordered
18:16his generals
18:16to read the declaration
18:18aloud.
18:18And with the world's
18:20mightiest empire
18:20poised to attack,
18:22Washington told
18:23the people
18:23of New York City
18:24what we will celebrate
18:25tomorrow,
18:26that we had declared
18:27our independence,
18:29that freedom
18:29was within reach.
18:31That evening,
18:32danger loomed.
18:34Conflict was not a question,
18:35but a certainty.
18:37And yet,
18:38when those early New Yorkers
18:39marched toward the statue
18:40of King George III
18:41that stood in the bowling green,
18:43a statue they would melt down
18:45into bullets
18:46for their young army,
18:47they walked in unison,
18:49grounded not in the pursuit
18:50of plunder,
18:51but in ideals
18:52that for the first time
18:53had a name,
