I got there about two hours early to get a good seat. Ended up eight rows back, center-left.
I got one short video clip of his speech before my camera battery died. So here's Bernie, talking about the decline of the middle class wages despite increased worker productivity.
So freaking inspiring to hear a political candidate talk about real issues affecting real people! He ranged from gender wage equity, to reinstating Glass-Steagal, to explaining the TPP (in easy-to-understand language), to the climate denial all around us - going so far in praising Pope's encyclical on climate as to refer to Francis as "a great man of God." Really a remarkable event.

Hope the whole talk will be available tomorrow.
From your clip it is so obvious why people come by the thousands----he's not talking at people he is talking to make them a part of it. He isn't afraid to say things that might offend some.
