Cory Booker - Watch the moment when Cory Booker ended his record 25 hour Senate speech



But I know who does have the power the people of the United States of America the power of the people is greater than the people in power it is time to heed the words of the man I began this whole thing with John Lewis i I beg folks to take his example of his early days where he made himself determined to show his love for his country at a time the country didn't love him to love this country so much to be such a patriot that he endured beatings savagely on the Edund Pettis Bridge at lunch counters on freedom rides he said he had to do something he would not normalize a moment like this he would not just go along with business and usual he wouldn't know how to solve it but there's one thing that he would do that I hope we all can do that I think I did a little bit of tonight he said for us to go out and cause some good trouble necessary trouble to redeem the soul of our nation i want you to redeem the dream when our founders said "We must mutually pledge pledge to each other our lives our fortunes and our sacred honor." We need that now from all Americans this is a moral moment it's not left or right it's right or wrong let's get in good trouble my friend Madame President I yield the floor [Applause]
