[ MUSIC ] So help me God. So help me God. Congratulations, Mr. President. [ APPLAUSE ] [ MUSIC ] The Women's March on January 21st, one day after the inauguration, laid the foundation for the rest of the year's protests. We will show a new face More than 400 thousand demonstrators marched in Washington DC. And many more in cities around the world. Together we [ UNKNOWN ], together we vote. The women's march did not result in any [ UNKNOWN ] policy changes. But it convayed a clear message. Trump's presidency would be met with resistance. And this is the protection of the nation from foreign terrorist entry. On January 27th, President Trump issued an executive order on the grounds of preventing terrorism restricting the number of refugees entering the country and banning travelers from seven Muslim- majority countries. Protests erupted at major airports within hours. This is what democracy looks like. Opponents claim the ban was discriminatory and racist. And the move was condemned, both domestically and internationally. You see it at the airports. You see it all over. It's working out very nicely. And we're gonna have a very, very strict. Ban, and we're going to have extreme vetting, which we should have had in this country for many years. Judge Robart's decision puts a halt to President Trump's unconstitutional and unlawful executive order. But about a month later, President Trump unveiled a second slightly revised travel ban. This is the same ban with the same purpose. Driven by the same dangerous discrimination that weakens our ability to fight terror. On March 15th, that ban was also blocked. This new order was tailored to the dictates of the 9th Circuit's, in my opinion, flawed ruling. On December 4th, the US Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to fully enforce the latest version of the ban, but legal challenges against it continued. For the past 17 years, Obamacare has wreaked havoc. Or the lives of innocent, hard working Americans. Starting in March, House Republicans made the first of several attempts to repeal and replace Obamacare. This bill, the American Health Care Act, it keeps our promise to repeal and replace Obamacare. By summertime, opposition against the continued attempts to repeal Obamacare grew increasingly intense. There are people out there who have cancer, that have that coverage, that have to have that coverage, to make sure that they don't die. They said that if we get sick it's our fault. These are the people that are in your party, that you're woking with. Access to healthcare is a basic fundamental civil right. [ APPLAUSE ] [ NOISE ] Obamacare is finished, it's dead, it's gone. It's no longer and you should even mention it. It's gone. On July 26th, the Senate rejected a clean repeal bill. On this vote, The yays are 45, the nays are 55, the amendment is not agreed to. Senators Lindsey Graham and Bill Cassidy released a new Obamacare repeal bill in September but the effort died as three Senate Republicans opposed it. [ MUSIC ] Momentum continues to grow around # MeToo, a campaign encouraging women to speak out about sexual misconduct which has led to the resignations of high profile men from Hollywood to Congress. And in the coming weeks, I will be resigning as member of the United States Senate. As the movement gains traction in the political sphere, some are renewing their calls for President Trump to step down in light of the misconduct allegations against him, which he continues to deny. Local elections in Virginia, Philadelphia, and New Jersey signal that voters were increasingly dissatisfied with President Trump's job performance In Virginia Democrat Ralph Northam won a major victory over Republican Ed Gillespie in the state's gubernatorial race. Democrats also took 15 previously Republican seats in Virginia's House of Delegates with 11 of those seats going to women. The victories suggest that Democrats could be charting a course towards major electoral wins in the 2018 mid- terms. Perhaps the most stunning example is Democrat Doug Jones victory over Roy Moore in September's Alabama Senate race. I have always believed that the people of Alabama have more in common than divided. [ APPLAUSE ] Some see it as a clear sign that the Trump Administration will face an even more emboldened resistance movement in 2018.
