Hey everybody here’s the text from my speech to the Missoula County Democrats Saturday night. I don’t normally let it rip like this. But these aren’t normal times. It was a ton of fun. So, perhaps I will have to do more of this in the future. Here’s what I told the crowd of about 400 people at the Holiday Inn in Missoula. (a technical note - the videographer missed a bit of the speech)

“I’d like to thank the Missoula county democratic party for inviting me to the big Williams dinner. Love the Williams. Lot of people here. Wow.

I am nowhere near the coast right now… no ocean close by.. I did see a river and there were surfers.. Which was great. But i want to make sure nobody brought any seashells with them tonight. Hand em over. No numbers either. You can’t say 86 47…

I think we should call him 32 for his poll numbers.

I’ve been told for a while by friends that it was high time i made it back to Montana.. And the views.. The hospitality.. And the food do not disappoint.

It was back in January 2025.. About one week after Donald Trump came back into the white house. And i told the audience… this…

“it’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give into the lies. Don’t give into fear. Hold on to the truth and hope.”

I delivered that message over the airwaves because i was greatly worried about what was already starting to happen in this country.

You see… trump had just pardoned all of the criminals who stormed the capitol on January sixth. Major tv networks were paying trump these ridiculous multi-million-dollar settlements… universities… law firms… and other major American institutions were beginning to bend the knee. And i thought all of that.. Was absolutely… totally wrong.

As the son of a Cuban refugee… i am here to tell you… the last thing i am going to do… is b
