I'm fascinated by rap and by hip-hop. I think there's a lot of poetry in it. There's a lot of anger, a lot of social energy in it. And I think you'd better listen to it pretty carefully, 'cause it's important.

Climate change is real. The science is compelling. And the longer we wait, the harder the problem will be to solve.
John F. Kerry
I think the question of abortion is one that should be left for the states to decide.
John F. Kerry
The agreement is fundamentally that we want to try to resolve this. The agreement is that ISIL is a threat to everybody, and we need to come together to find a way to fight ISIL. The agreement is that we want to save Syria, keep it unified, keep it secular. So surely in those very fundamental principles on which we could agree.
John F. Kerry
The oceans themselves are threatened and life itself, therefore, and the planet is threatened because of it.
John F. Kerry
We have to recognize that there is a strong, fresh wind blowing, powered by these new information technologies. It will be increasingly difficult for dictators to impose their will through sheer brutality.
John F. Kerry
What we Americans need to do is respect that incredible blessing that we have as a nation and make sure that we are leading in the best ways possible.
John F. Kerry
My definition of patriotism is to defend your country with the truth, no matter the consequences.
John F. Kerry
No one is going to question my commitment to the defence of our nation. I don't know what it is these Republicans, who didn't serve in any war, have against those of us who are Democrats who did.
John F. Kerry
There's an agreement that Syria should be a unified country, united that it needs to be secular that ISIL needs to be taken on and that there needs to be a managed transition, but there is a difference obviously in what that means and what that outcome may or may not be.
John F. Kerry
Our troops are terrorizing women and children in the dark of night in Iraq.
John F. Kerry
I saw courage both in the Vietnam War and in the struggle to stop it. I learned that patriotism includes protest, not just military service.
John F. Kerry
I will never cede the authority of our country or our security to any other nation. I'll never give a veto over American security to any other entity - not a nation, not a country, not an institution.
John F. Kerry
Remember the hours after Sept. 11 when we came together as one...It was the worst day we have ever seen, but it brought out the best in all of us.
John F. Kerry
What we need to do is raise the minimum wage. We also need to hold onto equal pay. Women work for 76 cents on the dollar for the same work that men do. That's not right in America.
John F. Kerry
I think that for many of us, the years of the Civil Rights movements - Martin Luther King, Bobby Kennedy running for president in 1968 to end the war and so forth - these were defining moment in terms of trying to hold government accountable and have a level of responsibility and truth-telling.
John F. Kerry
I'm not going to put my energy into focusing on things that are hypothetical that we don't know.
John F. Kerry
Democrats proposing success in Iraq by political solution.
John F. Kerry
Gender based violence anywhere is a threat to peace and security everywhere.
John F. Kerry
There the Bush Administration has offered only a merry-go-round policy. They got up on their high horse, whooped and hollered, rode around in circles and ended right back where they'd started.
John F. Kerry
You can't have responsibility and you can't have us living up to our ideals unless it's based on a fairly common acceptance of truth, of what is true - what is the truth here?
John F. Kerry
