( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) YOU SPENT $24 MILLION ADVOCATING

IMPEACHMENT.

THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL STARTS TOMORROW.

CAN YOU TAKE ANY CREDIT FOR THAT?

>> LOOK, MY OPINION ON WHO DESERVES CREDIT FOR IMPEACHMENT,

I STARTED THE MOVEMENT, BUT 8.5 MILLION PEOPLE SIGNED THE

PETITION AND DIDN'T JUST SIGN THE PETITION.

THEY E-MAILED THEIR CONGRESS PEOPLE, CALLED CONGRESS PEOPLE,

WROTE LETTERS TO THEIR CONGRESS PEOPLE AND THEY AGITATED.

I GIVE THEM THE CREDIT.

( APPLAUSE ) 8.5 MILLION AMERICANS BASICALLY

SAID THIS IS A MATTER OF RIGHT AND WRONG, THIS IS A MATTER OF

EVERYBODY BEING HELD TO ONE LAW, ONE STANDARD.

WE HAVE THE MOST CORRUPT PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY,

AND IT'S NOT A MATTER OF POLITICAL CONVENIENCE OR THE

NEXT MIDTERM, IT'S THE MATTER OF WHAT DOES AMERICA STAND FOR?

ARE WE A VALUE-DRIVEN COUNTRY ANYMORE OR NOT?

8.5 MILLION AMERICANS STEPPED UP AND PUSHED FOR THE IDEA WE STAND

FOR SOMETHING.

>> Stephen: I GIVE THE CREDIT TO DONALD TRUMP.

I THINK HE DID THIS ALL HIMSELF.

( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )

YOU'RE A BILLIONAIRE, BUT IN EVERY EVENT AND DEBATE YOU'RE

WEARING THE SAME TIE.

WHAT IS GOING ON?

( LAUGHTER ) AND HERE AGAIN TONIGHT, YOU HAVE

THE SAME TIE ON.

( LAUGHTER ) NO ONE GIVES YOU TIES?

WHY?

>> YOU COULD GIVE ME A TIE OR A COUPLE OF BUCKS.

>> Stephen: I WILL NOT GIVE YOU ANY MONEY.

( LAUGHTER ) BUT WHY THE ONE TIE?

AGAIN, WHY -- >> I HAVE BEEN WEARING THIS TIE,

NOT THIS SPECIFIC ONE, BUT THIS ONE OR ONE VERY MUCH LIKE IT FOR

25 YEARS.

I WORE IT LONG BEFORE -- >> Stephen: DOES IT MEAN

SOMETHING TO YOU?

>> YES, IT DOES.

TO ME, I'M WEARING A BRIGHT, LOUD, FUN TIE, AND I GET UP IN

MORNING AND I THINK, LET'S GO!

LET'S HAVE A GREAT DAY!

( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!

( PIANO RIFF ) >> Stephen: THANK YOU SO MUCH

FOR BEING HERE.

>> TEEFN, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> Stephen: TOM STEYER, EVERYBODY.

HE'S RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE!
