As the final results for the Iowa caucus were coming in and it looked as if Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders were in what he called a “virtual tie,” Sanders addressed Iowa and the nation.

“I think the people of Iowa have sent a very profound message to the political establishment, to the economic establishment, and by the way, to the media establishment,” the Vermont senator said in a rousing speech Monday night. “It is just too late for establishment politics and establishment economics. … What Iowa has begun tonight is a political revolution.”

Throughout the nearly 20-minute address, the senator reiterated his dedication to a political revolution that would promote equality, universal health care, free higher education and many more progressive social programs that will be paid for, in large part, by levying higher taxes on Wall Street.
