Thank you so much, Chris. And it's truly a great honor to have the opportunity to come to this stage twice; I'm extremely grateful. I have been blown away by this conference, and I want to thank all of you for the many nice comments about what I had to say the other night. And I say that sincerely, partly because (Mock sob) I need that.
Ahsante sana Chris. Pia kwakweli ni heshima kubwa kupata nafasi hii kuja katika ukumbi huu mara mbili. Nashukuru kwa dhati. nimepigwa na butwaa na huu mkusanyiko,na nataka kuwapa shukrani kwa maoni mengi mazuri kuhusu niliyoongelea usiku ule. Ninasema hilo kwa dhati, kidogo kwasababu--(Kwikwi ya maskhara)--niliyahitaji! (Vicheko)
(Laughter)
Put yourselves in my position.
Jiweke katika nafasi yangu!
(Laughter)
Nilipaa kwa ndege "Air Force Two" kwa miaka nane.
I flew on Air Force Two for eight years.
(Laughter)
Now I have to take off my shoes or boots to get on an airplane!
Sasa inabidi nivue viatu vyangu au mabuti ili kupanda ndege.
(Laughter)
(Vicheko) (Makofi)
(Applause)
Nitawasimulia hadithi moja haraka kuonesha hali ilivyo kwangu.
I'll tell you one quick story to illustrate what that's been like for me.
(Laughter)
Ni hadithi ya ukweli --kila tukio ni ukweli.
It's a true story -- every bit of this is true.
Soon after Tipper and I left the -- (Mock sob) White House --
Muda mfupi baada ya Tipper na mimi--(Kwikwi ya maskhara)--(Vicheko)--
(Laughter)
we were driving from our home in Nashville to a little farm we have 50 miles east of Nashville. Driving ourselves.
tulikuwa tukiendesha gari kutoka nyumbani Nashville kwanda kwenye shamba letu dogo maili 50 mashariki mwa Nashville-- tukiendesha gari wenyewe.
(Laughter)
I know it sounds like a little thing to you, but --
Najua inasikika kama jambo dogo kwenu, lakini -- (Vicheko) --
(Laughter)
Nikaangalia katika kioo cha kuangalizia nyuma na ghafla ikatokea nikagundua.
I looked in the rear-view mirror and all of a sudden it just hit me. There was no motorcade back there.
Kulikuwa hamna msafara huko nyuma.
(Laughter)
Mmesikia kuhusu maumivu ya phantom limb? (Vicheko)
You've heard of phantom limb pain?
(Laughter)
Hili gari lilikuwa ni Ford Taurus ya kukodishwa. Ilikuwa saa ya chakula cha jioni,
This was a rented Ford Taurus.
(Laughter)
It was dinnertime, and we started looking for a place to eat. We were on I-40. We got to Exit 238, Lebanon, Tennessee. We got off the exit, we found a Shoney's restaurant. Low-cost family restaurant chain, for those of you who don't know it. We went in and sat down at the booth, and the waitress came over, made a big commotion over Tipper.
na tukaanza kutafuta sehemu ya kupata chakula. Tulikuwa katika barabara I-40. Tukaingia katika kona ya 238, Lebanona, Tennessee. tukatoka katika hiyo barabara, tukaanza kutafua -- tukapata mgahawa wa Shoney. Ni mnyonyoro wa migahawa inayomilikiwa na familia, kwa wale ambao hawaufahamu. Tuliingia ndani na kukaa kibandani na muhudumu wa kike akaja, akafanya vurugu kubwa juu ya Tipper (Vicheko)
(Laughter)
She took our order, and then went to the couple in the booth next to us, and she lowered her voice so much, I had to really strain to hear what she was saying. And she said "Yes, that's former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper." And the man said, "He's come down a long way, hasn't he?"
Akachukua maagizo yetu, halafu akaenda kwa wawili waliokuwa kibanda kilichofuata, halafu alashusha sauti yake chini sana ilibidi nitumie juhudi nzito ili kusikia alichokuwa akisema. Halafu akasema "Ndio,yule ni Makamu wa Raisi aliyepita Al Gore na Mkewe Tipper." Halafu huyo mwanaume akasema "Amekuja safari ndefu au sio?" (Vicheko)
(Laughter)
(Applause)
There's been kind of a series of epiphanies.
Kumekuwa na kama mfululizo hivi wa kutokewa na ugunduzi ghafla.
(Laughter)
Siku iliyofuata, kuendeleza hadithi ya kweli kabisa,
The very next day, continuing the totally true story, I got on a G-V to fly to Africa to make a speech in Nigeria, in the city of Lagos, on the topic of energy. And I began the speech by telling them the story of what had just happened the day before in Nashville. And I told it pretty much the same way I've just shared it with you: Tipper and I were driving ourselves, Shoney's, low-cost family restaurant chain, what the man said -- they laughed. I gave my speech, then went back out to the airport to fly back home. I fell asleep on the plane until, during the middle of the night, we landed on the Azores Islands for refueling. I woke up, they opened the door, I went out to get some fresh air, and I looked, and there was a man running across the runway. And he was waving a piece of paper, and he was yelling, "Call Washington! Call Washington!" And I thought to myself, in the middle of the night, in the middle of the Atlantic, what in the world could be wrong in Washington? Then I remembered it could be a bunch of things.
nilipanda G-5 kupaa mpaka Afrika kutoa hotuba Naijeria, jijini Lagos, kuhusu nishati. Na nikaanza hotuba kwa kuwaambia hii hadithi ya matukio ya siku ile jana yake kule Nashville. Na nilihadithia kama kwa namna hii hii nilivyoshikikishana na ninyi. Tipper na mimi tulikuwa tukiendesha gari wenyewe,mgahawa wa gharama ndogo wa kifamilia wa Shoney, yale yule mwanaume alivyosema -- wakacheka. Nikatoa hotuba yangu, halafu nikarudi uwanja wa ndege kurudi nyumbani. Niliishia usingizini kwenye ndege, mpaka usiku wa manane, tulitua visiwa nya Azores kwa ajili ya kuongeza mafuta. Nikaamka, wakafungua mlango, nikatoka nje kupata hewa safi kidogo, halafu nikaangalia na nikamuona mwanaume akikimbia katika barabara ya ndege. Alikua akipunga kipande cha karatasi na alikuwa akipayuka, "Piga simu Washington! Piga simu Washington!" Halafu nikafikiria, usiku wa manane, katikati ya Atlantic, kuna kasoro gani duniani huko Washington? Halafu nikakumbuka inaweza ikawa ni rundo la maswala. (Vicheko)
(Laughter)
But what it turned out to be, was that my staff was extremely upset because one of the wire services in Nigeria had already written a story about my speech, and it had already been printed in cities all across the United States of America. It was printed in Monterey, I checked.
Lakini kumbe ilikuwa kwamba wafanyakazi wangu walikuwa wamechukizwa sana kwasababu moja huduma za habari kule Naijeria ilikuwa tayari imeandika habari kuhusu hotuba yangu. Halafu ilikuwa tayari imeshachapishwa kwenye miji kote Marekani -- ilichapishwa Monterey, nilihakikisha. Halafu habari zikaanza,
(Laughter)
And the story began, "Former Vice President Al Gore announced in Nigeria yesterday," quote: 'My wife Tipper and I have opened a low-cost family restaurant'" --
"Makamu wa Raisi aliyepita Al Gore ametangaza Naijeria jana, "Mke wangu Tipper na mimi tumefungua mgahawa wa kifamilia wa gharama za chini uitwao Shoney's,
(Laughter)
"'named Shoney's, and we are running it ourselves.'"
na tunauendesha wenyewe.'''(Vicheko)
(Laughter)
Kabla sijafika katika ardhi ya Marekani,
Before I could get back to U.S. soil, David Letterman and Jay Leno had already started in on -- one of them had me in a big white chef's hat, Tipper was saying, "One more burger with fries!"
David Letterman na Jay Leno walikuwa wameshalianzia hili -- mmoja wao aliniweka katika kofia kubwa ya mpishi, Tipper alikuwa akisema " Burger moja ya nyongeza na chipsi!"
(Laughter)
Siku tatu baadae, nikapokea barua nzuri,ndefu,iliyoandikwa na mkono kutoka kwa rafiki yangu mpenzi
Three days later, I got a nice, long, handwritten letter from my friend and partner and colleague Bill Clinton, saying, "Congratulations on the new restaurant, Al!"
na mfanyakazi mwenza Bill Clinton akisema, "Hongera kwa mgahawa mpya, Al!" (Vicheko)
(Laughter)
Tunapenda kusheherekea mafanikio yetu na ya wenzetu maishani.
We like to celebrate each other's successes in life.
(Laughter)
I was going to talk about information ecology. But I was thinking that, since I plan to make a lifelong habit of coming back to TED, that maybe I could talk about that another time.
Nilikuwa niongelee ikolojia ya habari. Lakini nilifikiria kwamba sababu nilipanga kuwa na tabia ya kuja tena TED, kwamba labda ningeongelea hilo wakati mwingine (Makofi)
(Applause)
Chris Anderson: Ni mpango!
Chris Anderson: It's a deal!
(Applause)
Al Gore: Nataka kulenga kwenye ambalo wengi wenu mmesema mnataka nilifafanue.
Al Gore: I want to focus on what many of you have said you would like me to elaborate on: What can you do about the climate crisis? I want to start with a couple of -- I'm going to show some new images, and I'm going to recapitulate just four or five. Now, the slide show. I update the slide show every time I give it. I add new images, because I learn more about it every time I give it. It's like beach-combing, you know? Every time the tide comes in and out, you find some more shells. Just in the last two days, we got the new temperature records in January. This is just for the United States of America. Historical average for Januarys is 31 degrees; last month was 39.5 degrees.
Ni nini ambacho unaweza kufanya kuhusu mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa? Nataka nianze na -- Nitawaonesha picha kadhaa mpya, na nitafupisha maelezo kwenda nne au tano tu. Sasa maonesho. Naongeza upya wa maonesho haya kila wakati ninapoyafanya. Naongeza picha mpya kwasababu najifunza zaidi kuhusu hili swala kila wakati ninapoonesha. ni kama uokotaji fukweni, unajua? Kila wakati wimbi lijapo na linapoondoka, unapata vifuniko vya chaza zaidi. Ndani ya siku mbili tu zilizopita, tumepata rekodi mpya za joto za mwezi wa kwanza. Hizi ni za Marekani tu. Wastani wa kihistoria wa mwezi wa kwanza ni digrii 31. mwezi uliopita ilikuwa digrii 39.5.
Now, I know that you wanted some more bad news about the environment -- I'm kidding. But these are the recapitulation slides, and then I'm going to go into new material about what you can do. But I wanted to elaborate on a couple of these. First of all, this is where we're projected to go with the U.S. contribution to global warming, under business as usual. Efficiency in end-use electricity and end-use of all energy is the low-hanging fruit. Efficiency and conservation -- it's not a cost; it's a profit. The sign is wrong. It's not negative; it's positive. These are investments that pay for themselves. But they are also very effective in deflecting our path.
Sasa, najua mlitaka habari mbaya zaidi kuhusu mazingira -- natania -- lakini haya maonesho ni ufupisho, halafu nitaingia katika maelezo mapya kuhusu mtachowezafanya. Lakini nilitaka kufafanua mawili ya haya. Kwanza, hapa ndipo tunapotabiriwa kwenda katika mchango wa Marekani kwenye mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa, katika biashara kama kawaida. Ufanisi katika matumizi ya mwisho ya umeme na matumizi ya mwisho ya nishati yote ni tunda lining'inialo karibu na chini. Ufanisi na uhifadhi. Hli sio gharama, ni faida.Hii bango sio sahihi. Sio hasi, ni chanya. Huu ni uwekezaji ujaojilipia wenyewe. Lakini pia ni wafanisi sana katika kupotosha njia yetu.
Cars and trucks -- I talked about that in the slideshow, but I want you to put it in perspective. It's an easy, visible target of concern -- and it should be -- but there is more global warming pollution that comes from buildings than from cars and trucks. Cars and trucks are very significant, and we have the lowest standards in the world. And so we should address that. But it's part of the puzzle. Other transportation efficiency is as important as cars and trucks. Renewables at the current levels of technological efficiency can make this much difference. And with what Vinod, and John Doerr and others, many of you here -- there are a lot of people directly involved in this -- this wedge is going to grow much more rapidly than the current projection shows it. Carbon Capture and Sequestration -- that's what CCS stands for -- is likely to become the killer app that will enable us to continue to use fossil fuels in a way that is safe. Not quite there yet. OK. Now, what can you do?
Magari na malori -- Niliongelea kuhusu hilo kwenye yale maonesho ya picha, lakini nawataka ninyi myaweke katika mtazamo. Ni rahisi, na ni lengo lionekanalo lenye wasiwasi, na linatakiwa kuwa hivyo, lakini kuna mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa ya uchafuzi ambayo yanatokana na majengo kuliko yanayotokana na magari na malori. Magari na malori ni muhimu, na tuna viwango vya chini kabisa duniani, kwahiyo tunatakiwa kujaribu tatua hilo. Lakini ni sehemu ya kitendawili hiki. Ufanisi wa usafiri mwingine ni muhimu kama magari ya abiria na ya mizigo! Vyanzo vijizalilishaji katika viwango vya sasa vya ufanisi wa kiteknolojia vinaweza kuleta tofauti kiasi hiki,na pakiwa na waliyofanya Vinod na John Doerr na wengineo, wengi wenu mlio hapa -- wengi wanahusika moja kea moja na hili -- hili tatizo litakuwa kwa kasi zaidikuliko makadirio ya sasa yanavyoonesha. Carbon capture and sequestation -- ndio CCS inavyosimama badala yake ina uwezekano wa kuwa utumizi muhimu mkuu hiyo itatuwezesha sisi kuendelea kutumia mafuta asili kwa namna mbayo ni salama. Lakini bado kidogo. Sawa. Sasa, ninyi mfanye nini? Punguza uzalishaji wa hewa chafu majumbani.
Reduce emissions in your home. Most of these expenditures are also profitable. Insulation, better design. Buy green electricity where you can. I mentioned automobiles -- buy a hybrid. Use light rail. Figure out some of the other options that are much better. It's important.
Nyingi ya hizi gharama zinazalisha faida pia. Kupunguza upotevu wa joto, ubunifu bora, ununuzi wa umeme bora kimazingira pale iwezekanapo. Nimegusia magari -- nunua yatumiayo mchanganyo. Tumia reli nyepesi. Tafuta machaguo kadhaa mengine ambayo ni mazuri zaidi. Ni muhimu.
Be a green consumer. You have choices with everything you buy, between things that have a harsh effect, or a much less harsh effect on the global climate crisis. Consider this: Make a decision to live a carbon-neutral life. Those of you who are good at branding, I'd love to get your advice and help on how to say this in a way that connects with the most people. It is easier than you think. It really is. A lot of us in here have made that decision, and it is really pretty easy. It means reduce your carbon dioxide emissions with the full range of choices that you make, and then purchase or acquire offsets for the remainder that you have not completely reduced. And what it means is elaborated at climatecrisis.net.
Kuwa mtumiaji rafiki kimazingira. Una machaguo katika kila ununuacho, baina ya vitu vyenye athari kali au athari ndogo zaidi kwenye mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa duniani. Fikiria hili. Chagua kuishi maisha yasiyokuwa na kaboni. Kwa wale kati yenu ambao ni madhubuti katika usanifu wa majina, ningependa kupata ushauri na msaada wenu katika namna ya kusema hili kwa namna ambayo inapatana na watu wengi. Ni rahisi kuliko unavyofikiri. Kweli kabisa. Wengi wetu humu tumefanya huo uamuzi na ni rahisi tu. punguza uzalishaji wako wa kaboni daioksaidi kwa kutumia machaguo yako mbalimbali halafu nunuaau pata jinsi za kukabiliana kwa ajili ya kiasi kilichobaki pasipokupungua kabisa. Na ufafanuzi wa haya unapatikala climatecrisis.net.
There is a carbon calculator. Participant Productions convened -- with my active involvement -- the leading software writers in the world, on this arcane science of carbon calculation, to construct a consumer-friendly carbon calculator. You can very precisely calculate what your CO2 emissions are, and then you will be given options to reduce. And by the time the movie comes out in May, this will be updated to 2.0, and we will have click-through purchases of offsets.
Hapo pana kikokotozi cha kaboni. washiriki wazalishaji walikusanyika, pakiwa na uhusika hai kutoka kwangu, waandishi viongozi duniani wa programu za kompyuta katika hii sayansi geni ya ukokotozi wa kaboni kujenga kikokotozi cha kaboni ambacho ni rafiki kwa mtumiaji. unaweza kwa usahii wa hali yuu kukokotoa kiasi cha utoaji wako wa CO2, halafu ndipo utapewa machaguo yenyekupunguza. Na wakati filamu inapokaribia kuzinduliwa Mei,hii kuongezwa kuwa 2.0 na sisi tutabidi tubonye kununua jinsi za kukabiliana.
Next, consider making your business carbon-neutral. Again, some of us have done that, and it's not as hard as you think. Integrate climate solutions into all of your innovations, whether you are from the technology, or entertainment, or design and architecture community. Invest sustainably. Majora mentioned this. Listen, if you have invested money with managers who you compensate on the basis of their annual performance, don't ever again complain about quarterly report CEO management. Over time, people do what you pay them to do. And if they judge how much they're going to get paid on your capital that they've invested, based on the short-term returns, you're going to get short-term decisions. A lot more to be said about that.
Linalofuata, fikiria kuifanya biashara yako isiwe itoayo kaboni. Tena, baadhi yetu tumeshafanya hivyo, na sio vigumu kama unavyofikiri. Unganisha ufumbuzi wa maswala hali ya hewa katika maswala yako yote ya uvumbuzi, kama unatoka katika maeneo ya teknolojia au burudani, au ubunifu na usanifumajengo. Wekeza kwa uendelevu. Majora alidokeza hili. Sikiliza, kawa umewekeza fedha na mameneja ambao unawapa fidia kutakana na matokeo wanayoonesha kwa mwaka, usilalamike tena kuhusu taarifa za kila robomwaka za usimamizi wa mkurugenzi mtendaji. Baada ya muda, Watu wanafanya kile unachewalipa ili wafanye. Na kama wataamua kiasi gani watalipwa kutoka mtaji wako ambao wamewekeza, kutokana na faida za ndani ya muda mfupi, utapata maamuzi ya ndani ya muda mfupi. Kuna mengi ya kusemwa kuhusu hilo.
Become a catalyst of change. Teach others, learn about it, talk about it. The movie is a movie version of the slideshow I gave two nights ago, except it's a lot more entertaining. And it comes out in May. Many of you here have the opportunity to ensure that a lot of people see it. Consider sending somebody to Nashville. Pick well. And I am personally going to train people to give this slideshow -- re-purposed, with some of the personal stories obviously replaced with a generic approach, and it's not just the slides, it's what they mean. And it's how they link together. And so I'm going to be conducting a course this summer for a group of people that are nominated by different folks to come and then give it en masse, in communities all across the country, and we're going to update the slideshow for all of them every single week, to keep it right on the cutting edge. Working with Larry Lessig, it will be, somewhere in that process, posted with tools and limited-use copyrights, so that young people can remix it and do it in their own way.
Kuwa kichocheo cha mabadiliko. Wafundishe wengine,jifunze kuhusu hayo,yaongelee. Filamu itazinduliwa -- filamu ni toleo la kifilamu kutoka yale maonesho ya picha niliyoyatoa usiku wa siku mbili zilizopita,isipokuwa inaburudisha zaidi. Na itazinduliwa Mei. Wengi wenu hapa mna nafasi ya kuhakikisha watu wengi wanaiona. Fikiria kumpeleka fulani Nashville. Chagua vizuri. Halafu mimi binafsi nitawafundisha watu jinsi ya ya kufanya haya maonesho ya picha, ya kiwa na maana nyingine upya ya baadhi ya hadithi binafsi pasipo shaka ikiwa na mbinu za ujumla, na -- sio tu haya maonesho ya picha, ni maana yanayoleta. Pia ni jinsi yaunganavyo. Kwahiyo nitakuwa nikifundisha darasa kiangazi kijacho kwa ajili ya kundi la watu ambao wanachaguliwa na jamaa mbalimbali halafu naipa umati, ndani ya jamii mbalimbali nchi nzima, tutaongeza upya wa hizi picha tunazoonesha kwa wote kila juma ili kuzifanya ziwa za kisasa kabisa. Nikifanya kazi na Larry Lessig, katikati ya mchakato huo, zitabandikwa zikiwa na hati miliki zinazoruhusu matumizi ya nje kiasi ili kwamba vijana waweze kumfanya michanganyiko na wafanye kwa namna zao binafsi.
(Applause)

Where did anybody get the idea that you ought to stay arm's length from politics? It doesn't mean that if you're a Republican, that I'm trying to convince you to be a Democrat. We need Republicans as well. This used to be a bipartisan issue, and I know that in this group it really is. Become politically active. Make our democracy work the way it's supposed to work. Support the idea of capping carbon dioxide emissions -- global warming pollution -- and trading it. Here's why: as long as the United States is out of the world system, it's not a closed system. Once it becomes a closed system, with U.S. participation, then everybody who's on a board of directors -- how many people here serve on the board of directors of a corporation? Once it's a closed system, you will have legal liability if you do not urge your CEO to get the maximum income from reducing and trading the carbon emissions that can be avoided. The market will work to solve this problem -- if we can accomplish this. Help with the mass persuasion campaign that will start this spring. We have to change the minds of the American people. Because presently, the politicians do not have permission to do what needs to be done.
Ni wapi mtu yoyote alipata wazo kwanya mnatakiwa kukaa mbali kabisa na siasa? Haimaanishi kwamba kama wewe ni mrepablikan ambaye najaribu kumshawishi awe mdemokrati.Tunawahitaji warepablikan pia.Hii lilishawahi kuwa swala lisililokuwa la mgawanyiko wa upand wowote, na ninajua kwamba katika kundi hili hili swala sio. Kuwa hai kisiasa. Fanya demokrasia yetu ifanye kazi kwa namna ambavyo inatakiwa. Toa msaada kwa wazo la kuweka kizuizi kwenye utupaji katika mazingira wa kaboni daioxaidi, mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa machafuzi, na kufanya nayo biashara. Hii hapa sababu: muda mrefu kama Marekani ipo nje ya mfumo wa dunia, sio mfumo funge. Pale ambapo utakuwa mfumo funge, pakiwa na kuhusika kwa Marekani, ndipo kila mtu aliye kwenye bodi ya wakurugenzi -- ni watu wangapi hapa wanatumikia katika bodi ya wakurugenzi katika shirika? Ukishakuwa mfumo funge, utakuwa na dhima kisheria kama huta muhimiza mkurugenzi wako mtendaji mkuu apate kiwango cha juu cha mapato kutokana na upunguzaji na ufanyaju wa biashara za uzalishaji wa kaboni ambao unaweza kuepukika. Soko litafanya kazi ili kutatua hili tatizo kama titaweza kukamilisha hili. Saidia katika kampeni za ushawishi wa wengi ambazo zitaanza msimu ujao. Itabidi tubadilishe mawazo ya wamarekani. Kwasababu kwa sasa wanasiasa hawana ruhusa ya kufanya kinachotakiwa kufanywa. Na katika nchi yetu ya kisasa, jukumu la mantiki na sababu halijumuishi tena
And in our modern country, the role of logic and reason no longer includes mediating between wealth and power the way it once did. It's now repetition of short, hot-button, 30-second, 28-second television ads. We have to buy a lot of those ads. Let's re-brand global warming, as many of you have suggested. I like "climate crisis" instead of "climate collapse," but again, those of you who are good at branding, I need your help on this. Somebody said the test we're facing now, a scientist told me, is whether the combination of an opposable thumb and a neocortex is a viable combination.
upatanisho baina ya utajiri na nguvu kama ilivyokuwa zamani. sasa ni kurudiwa kwa fupi, la sekunde 30, la sekunde 28 tangazo la runinga. Itatubidi kukununua matangazo kama hayo mengi. Tuyape mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa jina jipya, kama wengi wenu mlivyopendekeza. napenda mgogoro wa hali ya hewa kuliko kuzimia kwa hali ya hewa, lakini tena,wale kati yenu ambao ni mathubuti katika kupachika majina, nahitaji msaada wenu kwa hili. Mtu fulani alisema kwamba, mtihani unaotukabili sasa, mwanasayansi aliniambia ni kama mchanganyiko wa kidole gumba na neokotexi ni ambao unafaida.
(Laughter)
Hilo ni kweli kabisa. Usiku ule nilisema,na narudia: hili sio swala la kisiasa.
That's really true.
I said the other night, and I'll repeat now: this is not a political issue. Again, the Republicans here -- this shouldn't be partisan. You have more influence than some of us who are Democrats do. This is an opportunity. Not just this, but connected to the ideas that are here, to bring more coherence to them. We are one.
Tena, warepablikan hapa hili sio lazima liwe swala la kugawanya. Mna ushawishi zaidi kuliko baadhi yetu ambao ni wademokrati. Hii ni nafasi. Sio tu hii, bali iliyounganishwa na mawazo yaliyo hapa, ili kuleta mshikamano baina yao. Sisi ni wamoja.
Thank you very much, I appreciate it.
Ahsanteni sana. Nashukuru hili.
(Applause)
