Today we say to America - we've come here to work. We clean your toilets. We clean your hotels. We build your houses. We take care of your children. We want you to help us take care of our children as well.
Today we get to celebrate football in Los Angeles.
I'm unabashedly a progressive, but I'm not a knee-jerk, either,

It's a deal they can't refuse. Los Angeles makes the absolute best sense.
If you wave a flag, make it an American Flag.
