"Bernie Sanders supporters packed a Queens park on Monday night for the Democratic presidential candidate's final New York City rally before Tuesday's primary.
"You all look beautiful, and you all look like you want a political revolution," Sanders said to cheers from the crowd at Hunter's Point South Park along Long Island City's waterfront.
Sanders told the audience that a large voter turnout for Tuesday's New York primary would lead to a victory against Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
The Vermont senator criticized Clinton for her paid speeches and told the crowd that she has said she'll release the transcripts of her paid speeches if other candidates do the same. He then said he'd release all the transcripts of the speeches that he gave "behind closed doors to Wall Street" -- of which there are none.
He also slammed Wall Street's "greed, recklessness and illegal behavior," which he said hurt millions of Americans.
Sanders also had a message for corporate America: "Get nervous if Bernie Sanders is elected president."
TV on the Radio performed "Lazerray" ahead of the Vermont senator's speech. Actor Danny Glover spoke ahead of Sanders, saying that it's time for Americans to make a choice on "how to change the world, change our lives."
LIC resident Mike Smith, 36, a dual citizen who grew up in Switzerland, was among the rally attendees.
"I'm familiar with a lot of the things he's saying and I think they're the right things," said Smith, who works in marketing. While he doesn't expect to hear Sanders say anything new, he wanted to be there "to really feel the Bern, to feel the energy."
He added, "It's great to really be here and be a part of it."
