This program was made
possible by the corporation
for Public Broadcasting

00:05.066 --> 00:09.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and by contributions to
your PBS station from
viewers like you. Thank

00:09.366 --> 00:12.366 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
you.

00:17.566 --> 00:22.566 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Looking back on 5 decades
in politics, Joe, thank
you for your historic

00:24.233 --> 00:28.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
leadership, a grateful
party honors the
president, America. I gave

00:28.133 --> 00:33.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
my best to you. As he
passed the torch to a
new generation. Are you

00:34.633 --> 00:39.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
ready to elect Kamala Harris and
Tim Walls. Tonight Democrats lay

00:41.100 --> 00:44.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
out their vision for
America. I mean on both
sides of the track to

00:46.500 --> 00:50.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
be OK. And former
President Barack Obama
speaks to the city that

00:52.000 --> 00:53.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
helped launch his
political career. Where
are you guys excited to

00:53.866 --> 00:58.833 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
see tonight. It is the 2nd
night of the Democratic
National Convention.

01:11.166 --> 01:16.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And welcome to PBS News special
coverage of the 2nd night of the

01:17.900 --> 01:20.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Democratic National
Convention in Chicago.
I'm Ana Navaz and I'm

01:20.400 --> 01:23.833 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Jeff Bennett. Last night,
the Democrats passed
the torch of the party

01:23.833 --> 01:27.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
from President Biden to
Vice President Harris.
Tonight the theme

01:27.333 --> 01:31.833 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
is a bold vision for
America's future and the
Democrats hope to show,

01:33.533 --> 01:36.233 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to draw a sharp contrast
between the vision of
the Harris Walls ticket

01:36.233 --> 01:39.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and that of the Trump
V Vance campaign. The
headliners tonight are

01:39.700 --> 01:43.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
former President Barack
Obama. Former First Lady
Michelle Obama happening

01:43.733 --> 01:47.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
right now on the floor
behind us is a lot of
noise. This is the roll

01:47.100 --> 01:50.700 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
call, the way the Democrats
have arranged it right
now. It is largely

01:50.700 --> 01:54.233 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
ceremonial, of course,
to officially nominate
Kamala Harris. We know

01:54.233 --> 01:57.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
that both she and
Walls were officially
nominated back in August

01:57.766 --> 02:01.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
6th in a virtual vote,
but what they're doing
now is rolling through

02:01.533 --> 02:06.066 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
state by state, territory
by territory with a
live DJ. Those are

02:06.066 --> 02:10.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
individual songs you're
hearing that each state
and territory selected

02:10.066 --> 02:11.066 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
as they announced their

02:12.766 --> 02:16.233 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And of course with us
here in our PBS news
booth. We have our usual

02:16.233 --> 02:20.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
panel. Amy Walter of the
Cook Political Report
with Amy Walter, David

02:20.866 --> 02:24.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Brooks of The New York
Times and Jonathan
Capehart of The Washington

02:24.866 --> 02:29.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Post. We in fact spent
the night here. We never
actually. But let's

02:29.700 --> 02:32.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
first head down to the
floor where we find our
friend and colleague,

02:34.233 --> 02:35.766 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
White House correspondent
Laura Barone Lopez,
who is covering the

02:35.766 --> 02:39.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Harris campaign. So Laura, after
last night's events, which went

02:39.233 --> 02:42.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
well after midnight on
the east coast. What are
the delegates looking

02:42.133 --> 02:46.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
forward to tonight?
Well, the delegates are
looking forward to hearing

02:46.700 --> 02:51.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
from the Obamas, of course they
want to hear more from the other

02:51.566 --> 02:56.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
speakers, specifically
about abortion rights
and reproductive rights

02:56.200 --> 02:59.966 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
and more of that contrast
that you were talking
about Jeff, where

02:59.966 --> 03:03.966 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
Harris and Walls
differentiate themselves
from the Trump campaign,

03:05.700 --> 03:07.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
but they're really
excited to hear from
Michelle Obama and former

03:07.500 --> 03:11.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
President Barack Obama
and you can just feel
the energy right now

03:11.133 --> 03:15.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
during this roll call
right in front of me
is Nebraska delegation

03:15.000 --> 03:18.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and they're wearing
those camouflage baseball
caps that have Harris

03:18.800 --> 03:23.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
walls representative
of the type of baseball
hunting, uh, camouflage

03:23.166 --> 03:27.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
baseball cap that Governor Walls
often wears and then across from

03:27.400 --> 03:31.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
me is the Wisconsin
delegation and they're
decked out in cheese heads.

03:32.933 --> 03:35.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Also I saw another
delegate on the floor
earlier who had a hat that

03:35.066 --> 03:39.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
said Make America laugh
again. Just really
capturing the fact that

03:39.966 --> 03:43.633 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Democrats are trying to
seize on that joy that
they've been feeling.

03:45.400 --> 03:47.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Since Harris took over
the top of the ticket
and the fact that they

03:47.533 --> 03:52.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
really think Kamala
Harris should embrace
who she is and one of her

03:54.233 --> 03:58.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
signature personality
traits is that she
often likes to laugh and

04:00.133 --> 04:02.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
bring joy to what
she's doing and that's
something that a lot of

04:02.066 --> 04:06.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
delegates have talked to
me about tonight, Jeff.
All right, La Verone

04:06.366 --> 04:09.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Lopez, we will be
checking in with you
throughout the night as we

04:09.566 --> 04:12.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
keep our eye on this
roll call unfolding on
the convention floor.

04:14.233 --> 04:16.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Amy, for all of the talk
about this passing of
the torch, this turning

04:16.000 --> 04:19.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
of the page from Joe
Biden to Kamala Harris.
Tonight there's a real

04:19.066 --> 04:21.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
passing of the torch.
We are really going to
abuse this metaphor.

04:23.666 --> 04:27.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Once you start, you
got to keep going, but
from the Obama era, the

04:27.900 --> 04:31.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Obamas themselves, the
most popular Democrats
in the country to Kamala

04:31.500 --> 04:35.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Harris. That's right,
and you know there's
been a lot of discussion.

04:37.133 --> 04:40.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
In among Democratic
strategists about what
coalition is Kamala Harris

04:40.133 --> 04:44.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
going to put together?
Is it the Biden 2020
coalition, the anti-Trump

04:44.566 --> 04:48.766 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
coalition, or is it going
to look a lot more like
the Obama coalition,

04:50.433 --> 04:53.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
which is, oh wow to the
floor because that I
believe is Little John.

04:54.333 --> 04:57.800 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
And been interrupted. All right.

05:03.000 --> 05:06.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Ladies and gentlemen,
that is indeed. Well
John, who's now taken

05:06.166 --> 05:10.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
to the convention floor. And
this arena is absolutely rotten.

05:12.700 --> 05:15.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
The delegates and
all the folks in the
convention have been given

05:15.300 --> 05:20.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
wristbands with color
coded LEDs in them. So
if you see folks wearing

05:21.666 --> 05:24.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
colorful wristbands, that's
what that is. So Amy,

05:26.100 --> 05:28.933 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
you can somehow pick up
what you were saying.

05:34.766 --> 05:35.400 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Oh right

05:36.866 --> 05:41.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
There goes Georgia getting their
delegates in the Georgia in this

05:43.166 --> 05:45.800 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
election cycle.
Absolutely, absolutely,
and Georgia, so, OK, thank

05:45.800 --> 05:49.033 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
you, because now that
can help us get back
onto the train of thought

05:49.033 --> 05:53.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
about the different
coalitions to put together,
you know, one idea

05:53.133 --> 05:57.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
is Harris's coalition looks more
like the Obama coalition looking

05:57.666 --> 06:01.166 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
back at 2012, 1 of the
highlights of the 2012

06:02.866 --> 06:05.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
election was a fact for
the first time ever,
black voters voted at

06:05.566 --> 06:10.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
a higher percent. than
white voters so they
were that was the key

06:12.266 --> 06:15.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to Obama's victory in
2012 and that again when
you talked about passing

06:17.500 --> 06:21.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
the torch, can she pick
up some of those voters
from that Obama coalition,

06:23.166 --> 06:27.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
but new voters, not just
the ones who voted for
Obama, but especially

06:27.066 --> 06:31.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
younger voters. Do
In the Obama era.

06:32.600 --> 06:37.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Can she appeal to them in a way
that Biden wasn't able to do so,

06:38.466 --> 06:41.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
so that I think is important and
Georgia, North Carolina. Part of

06:41.066 --> 06:46.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
the reason we've seen
the polls tighten there
is because of Harris's

06:47.533 --> 06:50.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
support. Um, among black voters
going up consistently. One thing

06:50.266 --> 06:54.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
we'll talk about a lot.
Over the course of the
campaign, I'll mention

06:54.066 --> 06:59.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
here as well is a gender gap.
Among black voters. I was just

07:00.800 --> 07:03.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
had a briefing today
with Democratic pollster
looking at some of

07:03.866 --> 07:06.533 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
those battleground states. And

07:08.300 --> 07:12.133 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Black women overwhelmingly
say they're supporting
Harris. Black men

07:12.133 --> 07:12.266 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
by a

07:13.966 --> 07:18.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
much smaller margin, 22%
of black men say they
could vote for Trump

07:20.333 --> 07:22.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
compared to just 8%
of black women. I just
want to point out, so

07:22.300 --> 07:24.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
this roll call is
continuing behind us. We
apologize we're having

07:24.933 --> 07:28.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
our panelists fight some of this
noise at home can still hear us,

07:29.866 --> 07:31.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
but let's just take
this picture full for a
second. Jonathan is like.

07:32.866 --> 07:36.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
To you. As you've been
dancing along to the
song selection of the.

07:38.266 --> 07:42.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
But especially turned
down for, come on, little
John, this roll call

07:42.333 --> 07:46.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
alone is meant to send
a message, right? We saw
obviously they deferred

07:46.400 --> 07:50.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to Delaware to go first
to kind of start the
roll call as the home

07:50.100 --> 07:53.633 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
state President Biden.
We know that California
and Minnesota will

07:53.633 --> 07:57.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
be ending it as the home states
of Harris and Walls, but there's

07:57.300 --> 08:01.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
also a really diverse
set of messengers. They
have some influencers.

08:02.766 --> 08:05.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
They have. Elected
officials sharing their
own stories as they go

08:05.266 --> 08:09.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
along here and there's
also this next generation
of leaders. We expect

08:09.500 --> 08:14.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
governors Newsom and Whitmer and
Moore and others to be featured

08:14.066 --> 08:17.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
in the roll call. What's
this message just in
terms of setting the

08:17.600 --> 08:22.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
tone for the evening.
So if last night was
President Biden and his

08:24.066 --> 08:28.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
swan song, his farewell address.
I think I said last night. That

08:28.066 --> 08:31.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
what we would be seeing
is the forward looking,
the forward look,

08:33.600 --> 08:36.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
the next generation,
the new leaders. I mean
this roll call. With

08:36.766 --> 08:40.666 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
the music and I apologize
in advance for dancing
dancing in my seat

08:40.666 --> 08:40.900 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
so um

08:43.966 --> 08:47.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
but it's sending, it's sending a
message to the country that the

08:47.333 --> 08:52.333 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Democratic Party is joyful.
The Democratic Party is
young. The Democratic

08:53.766 --> 08:57.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Party is diverse, the Democrat,
the Democratic Party is um

08:59.266 --> 09:03.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
open to all who want
to be a part of it, uh,
the Democratic Party,

09:05.166 --> 09:08.033 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
once we get past the roll
call and all the fun.
stands for this issue,

09:09.500 --> 09:11.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
that issue, and here's how we're
here's how we're going to fight.

09:12.933 --> 09:14.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
One of the things when
President Biden was
still in the race. There

09:14.766 --> 09:18.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
were people who were saying that
Democratic bench is so deep. It

09:18.866 --> 09:22.800 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
is so deep and now he
has seeded the field.

09:24.566 --> 09:27.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Vice President Harris
has it and tonight and
for the next 3 nights

09:27.066 --> 09:30.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
we're going to see just how deep
that bench is, just how diverse

09:30.566 --> 09:34.700 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
the bench is, just how
young the bench is. David

09:36.433 --> 09:39.900 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Jonathan just articulated
that speaks to why
every 4 years it strikes

09:39.900 --> 09:44.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
me Democrats have this
extra challenge of
trying to unify a party

09:44.300 --> 09:49.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
of multiple coalitions
that don't always agree,
whereas on the Republican

09:49.100 --> 09:51.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
side, at least right
now, you have Donald
Trump playing to a very

09:51.766 --> 09:56.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
narrow portion of the
GOP base. Well, Joe Biden
was a genius at unifying

09:56.700 --> 10:00.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
the Democratic Party.
He never wanted to pick
a fight and so he was

10:00.300 --> 10:03.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
able to gather this
coalition and bring it
together and then the

10:03.733 --> 10:06.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
coalition wanted to
preserve itself, and so
they didn't want to have

10:06.733 --> 10:09.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
a fight about Kamala
Harris or who would
succeed Joe Biden. They

10:09.600 --> 10:13.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
were the coalition was
deselected. And so I
think they're doing a

10:13.200 --> 10:16.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
good job of creating
unity. The question I
would have is, are they

10:16.200 --> 10:19.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
expanding? So when
I look at where the
Democrats are compared to

10:19.566 --> 10:24.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
2020, Biden was up
here. And then he went
down here for 2024 and

10:24.166 --> 10:27.900 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Kamala Harris has brought
them back. To hear,
but not up to where

10:27.900 --> 10:31.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Biden was in 2020, so
they need to go beyond
where they are, they're

10:31.966 --> 10:35.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
doing a great job of
making people in the room
happy, but they really

10:35.200 --> 10:38.433 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
need to think about the people
who are Obama Trump voters.

10:40.300 --> 10:42.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
What are those people
interested in? And frankly,
you know, abortion's

10:42.566 --> 10:45.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
been a great issue for
Democrats, but I looked
it up today, 8% of

10:45.900 --> 10:49.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Americans list abortion as their
top issue. It's the economy and

10:49.133 --> 10:52.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
immigration. You have to
hit those core issues.
So we'll see if they're

10:52.466 --> 10:55.633 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
they're really been
good at unifying the
party, but are they good

10:55.633 --> 10:59.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
at expanding it? We'll
see maybe a little
tonight, even just tonally

10:59.666 --> 11:02.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
though, I mean we can't
ignore what the setting
we're in right now

11:02.533 --> 11:04.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and when we were at
the Republican National
Convention, you made

11:04.900 --> 11:09.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
the point. That's
the rally, that's the
party. This is the party

11:09.433 --> 11:13.166 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
coming together same here
with the Democrats. But
we know we're hearing

11:13.166 --> 11:17.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
a lot of this messaging
around the joyful
warrior that R. Harris

11:17.133 --> 11:21.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and Ws, which is really
a stark contrast to what
we saw on the Republican

11:21.000 --> 11:23.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
side, you know, the
last time I was in this
building in the Chicago

11:23.366 --> 11:27.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Bulls were not playing.
It was for the 1996
Democratic convention

11:27.533 --> 11:31.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and if memory serves,
that was the Macarena
convention so this is

11:31.900 --> 11:36.633 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
way better. We have
made a massive cultural
leap from the Macarena,

11:38.366 --> 11:40.900 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
uh, and so that diversity,
I mean, it's real.
The Democrats are a

11:40.900 --> 11:45.033 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
diverse pluralistic.
and suburban party. And
so they just got a lot

11:45.033 --> 11:47.233 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
of different players
in the party that makes
it interesting. Let's

11:47.233 --> 11:50.900 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
go to the floor real quick
because it's Indiana's
turn for the roll

11:50.900 --> 11:53.866 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
call, and that is actorho Aston.

11:57.166 --> 12:02.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And they're chanting Rudy. As
you dotine Harold from Roley

12:04.933 --> 12:09.933 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Prairie and that's before
I leave. Hawkins or
play the littlest player

12:11.433 --> 12:13.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
with the biggest heart at the
University of Notre Dame, Rudy.

12:17.133 --> 12:21.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
it Means elected Kamala Harris,
the first woman president of the

12:28.533 --> 12:28.733 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
On

12:30.200 --> 12:34.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Of the great Hoosier State.
Home of the sporting day.

12:35.800 --> 12:40.300 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
In the world, the Indy
500. Michael Jackson

12:42.766 --> 12:43.133 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
OK

12:45.633 --> 12:45.800 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
I'm

12:48.366 --> 12:52.033 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Indiana Deliver this
86 delegate. The

12:53.166 --> 12:53.533 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
And

13:01.066 --> 13:05.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
pledging Indiana's
delegates to this ticket
up here in our PBS News

13:05.366 --> 13:08.433 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
booth. We are very, very pleased
to be joined by a special guest,

13:10.200 --> 13:11.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Keith How Attorney
General, thank you so
much for being here. Glad

13:11.966 --> 13:15.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
to be with you. Thanks a lot. So
tell us a little bit about this

13:15.733 --> 13:20.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
room, what we're gonna
hear tonight and also
what you plan on talking

13:20.433 --> 13:24.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
about when you address
this the crowd tomorrow
evening, I understand.

13:26.366 --> 13:28.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Tell us a little bit about that.
You know what I see out here is

13:28.266 --> 13:32.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
a bunch of people ready
to. Have a great time
here and then go back

13:32.800 --> 13:37.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
home and really campaign
their hearts out in
the last 70 some days.

13:39.400 --> 13:42.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
It seems like we're
fueling ourselves to get
out there and do this

13:42.666 --> 13:46.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
final sprint after Labor
Day. That's what it
looks like to me. I've

13:46.566 --> 13:49.600 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
been talking to a lot of
people. People are feeling good.

13:51.333 --> 13:54.033 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Uh, and I've even been
talking with some of the
uncommitted delegates.

13:55.833 --> 13:59.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And many of them do
understand that. The
best chance for the thing

14:01.333 --> 14:03.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
they see at least a
conversation about the
reform they seek. is with

14:03.666 --> 14:08.633 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Kamala Harris, so they
want change, but what
I'm looking at is a

14:08.633 --> 14:13.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
unified group ready to
work. What will I talk
about? Uh, look, I'm,

14:14.666 --> 14:17.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I'm an attorney general.
I'm a prosecutor and
I'm gonna talk about

14:17.300 --> 14:21.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
rule of law and I'm
going to talk about uh
the relationship I had

14:21.933 --> 14:26.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
with Tim Walsh, uh,
when, uh, we both found
out that uh George Floyd

14:28.600 --> 14:32.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
was murdered on the
streets of our city. And
I'm going to talk about

14:32.600 --> 14:36.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
the importance of a ticket that
believes in the rule of law, uh,

14:38.100 --> 14:41.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
equality before the law and the
importance of democratic victory

14:42.433 --> 14:43.033 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
to ensure

14:44.700 --> 14:47.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
liberty and justice
for all, rule of law
for everybody. So those

14:47.133 --> 14:50.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
are some of the things
I. I want to ask you
about the George Floyd

14:50.066 --> 14:53.633 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
case because when
the local Minneapolis
community lost faith in the

14:53.633 --> 14:57.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
county prosecutor. It
was Governor Walls who
turned to you to to

14:58.833 --> 15:01.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
to build that prosecution. Tell
us about that. Well, let me tell

15:01.300 --> 15:05.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
you, man, um, Tim Walls,
when I talked to him,
he was genuinely just

15:05.966 --> 15:09.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
shook up by what he saw
on that video that we all
saw Darnellla Frazier,

15:11.433 --> 15:14.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
17 year old, uploads that video
and he's like, wow, bam, none of

15:14.666 --> 15:18.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
us can believe it,
although we do know these
things happen. It was

15:18.500 --> 15:23.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
right there unfolding
over 10 long minutes
suffering and uh we came

15:24.900 --> 15:26.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
to the conclusion that the
right thing to do is to uh

15:28.833 --> 15:31.166 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
send the case to the Attorney
General's officepoint
me special. Prosecutor

15:31.166 --> 15:35.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and then move on and and try to
make sure that people could have

15:35.933 --> 15:39.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
confidence in the
outcome, whatever it would
be, and I didn't know

15:39.366 --> 15:42.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
what it was going to
be, you know, we need
to let 12 jurors figure

15:42.466 --> 15:46.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
that out, but uh it was a rough
moment in Minnesota and it's one

15:46.766 --> 15:49.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
of the reasons I think Mars
will be a great vice president

15:51.166 --> 15:55.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
because whether it was
COVID or that crisis,
he was steady hand and

15:55.366 --> 15:58.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
worked hard to get us
through it. You both
were elected to Congress

15:58.433 --> 16:02.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
in 2006. Is that right?
I've known him for
almost 20 years. Give

16:02.566 --> 16:06.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
us a sense of what
informs and and inspires
his approach to public

16:06.100 --> 16:11.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
service. Well, I'd
say he's a relatable
person. He likes the idea

16:12.566 --> 16:16.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
of informality in communication.
He doesn't stand on titles. He's

16:17.800 --> 16:19.833 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
not at all haughty, and
what he wants you to
do is get to the point.

16:21.533 --> 16:24.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
People have called him
progressive since he
passed a lot of good

16:24.400 --> 16:28.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
progressive legislation.
But I'd call him a
pragmatic problem solver.

16:30.100 --> 16:33.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I mean, he's really
motivated by the fact.
That kids in school don't

16:35.233 --> 16:38.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
learn well if they're
hungry. That parents cannot
devote their attention

16:40.433 --> 16:43.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to their family if they
don't have some in social
assurance of Aaron's

16:43.333 --> 16:46.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
sick and safe time. That
you know, people should
have second chances.

16:48.633 --> 16:51.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I mean, we passed a law
that said if you are
on probation or parole

16:51.566 --> 16:55.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
you can vote. Joining a
lot of states that already
do that, but Minnesota

16:55.766 --> 16:58.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
said you couldn't vote until you
were on probation or parole and

16:58.500 --> 17:02.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
then the a major child
credit understand that
it's expensive to raise

17:02.966 --> 17:06.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
kids these days and
families need a break,
so I mean that's that

17:06.700 --> 17:10.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to me it's not ideology
he's moving out of.
It's just a pragmatic

17:10.700 --> 17:14.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
reality of talking to a
lot of people who feel
comfortable approaching

17:14.433 --> 17:18.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
him. You mentioned
meeting with some of the
uncommitted delegates

17:18.666 --> 17:22.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
that issue really royal
and divide members of
the Democratic Party

17:22.433 --> 17:25.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
right now. I believe your son
is an uncommitted delegate,

17:27.433 --> 17:30.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
right Jeremiah, he is
Minneapolis city council
member. He's my city

17:30.400 --> 17:32.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
council member. OK, I want
to ask about that. I say that

17:34.400 --> 17:36.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
that's a whole different
line of inquiry right
there. Thanksgiving

17:36.700 --> 17:41.666 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
must be really interesting,
um, but. Tell me about
your conversations

17:41.666 --> 17:45.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
with him, but also, you
know, this idea that
he expresses that this

17:45.300 --> 17:49.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
one issue. is absolutely
going to have an impact
on the presidential

17:49.100 --> 17:53.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
race, and he says could
have a down ballot
impact as well. Do you

17:53.200 --> 17:57.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
agree with that? It
certainly could, and
that's one reason why I'm

17:57.066 --> 18:00.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
encouraging dialogue
and conversation. Look,
this is reality. You

18:00.900 --> 18:04.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
can't. You can't look
at your phone or look
on TV or look on the

18:04.000 --> 18:09.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
radio without hearing
news from Gaza. And we
all know what happened

18:10.666 --> 18:14.000 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
on October 7th. You know,
1200 people kidnapped
and killed from,

18:15.666 --> 18:19.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
you know, by a terrorist
act, right, and yet
the aftermath 40,000

18:19.066 --> 18:23.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
people dead, mostly men
and women and children,
massive displacement.

18:25.233 --> 18:27.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
We've got to talk about
it and I'm proud to
be a Democrat because

18:27.166 --> 18:31.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
we are talking about it.
We are listening. There
is a robust conversation

18:31.866 --> 18:36.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
going on and we will
find our way to the
right answer, but only by

18:38.500 --> 18:41.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
listening to each other
and having voices heard
and you know there

18:41.600 --> 18:44.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
was uh there was a
meeting yesterday at
the McCormick Center and

18:44.766 --> 18:48.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
there was a robust
dialogue that was that
it's happening and we need

18:48.500 --> 18:52.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
to do more of that, not less, so
that's what I think that's going

18:52.366 --> 18:55.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
on now. I think that
if Um, I look, I can't
speak for uncommitted

18:55.866 --> 19:00.500 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
because I'm very committed,
but Uh, I think that if
uncommitted delegates

19:00.500 --> 19:04.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
know that they can be in
a conversation and have
a chance to persuade

19:04.300 --> 19:07.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
their elected leaders.
That that's what
they're hoping to do you

19:07.900 --> 19:11.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
think that conversation
is enough though
because we know of them,

19:13.233 --> 19:15.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
dozens of them have
signed petition saying
they want to see an arms

19:15.000 --> 19:18.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
embargo. They don't want
messaging. They want
policy change. What's

19:18.366 --> 19:22.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
your take on that? My
take on that is this.
They didn't go to the

19:22.600 --> 19:27.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Republican convention.
They didn't not show
up here. They didn't

19:27.266 --> 19:30.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
vote green. They didn't
vote independent. They
showed up at the Democratic

19:30.866 --> 19:35.366 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
National Convention to try
to persuade people they
believe are persuadable.

19:36.566 --> 19:39.033 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
So what that shows
me is they have hope.

19:40.500 --> 19:43.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And but, but look, in politics,
seldom do you get everything you

19:43.466 --> 19:47.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
want when you want it
you've gotta work it
out, sort it out, and

19:47.066 --> 19:51.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
it takes some time,
but this is a national
conversation going on.

19:53.233 --> 19:57.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And they at least know
that the Democratic
Party wants the dialogue

19:58.800 --> 20:01.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
that we know they want
a policy change, but
we, we know that these

20:01.766 --> 20:06.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
things. Are not simple.
But if we can't, if
we can face it, maybe

20:06.466 --> 20:10.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
we can fix it and that is what I
think is going on. I don't, I'm

20:10.566 --> 20:14.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
here not giving anybody
any simple answers that
I'm sure people want,

20:16.000 --> 20:17.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
but I do know that you
know there's a lot of
people feel strongly

20:17.966 --> 20:20.966 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
about this, but we're not
afraid of the conversation.
Is there significant

20:20.966 --> 20:24.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
daylight between President Biden
and Kamala Harris on this issue

20:24.400 --> 20:27.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
of Israel policy and
the humanitarian crisis
in Gaza, and how would

20:27.300 --> 20:30.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
you advise her or, or
encourage her to talk about it

20:32.300 --> 20:35.233 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
public spaces. Well,
they both have demanded
return of the hostages.

20:36.966 --> 20:40.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Israeli and American
and a ceasefire and and
have been working very

20:42.566 --> 20:46.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
diligently to try to
achieve that obviously
this is not easy, but

20:46.966 --> 20:49.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
let me tell you, I
will simply say that

20:50.966 --> 20:54.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
uh that that stability
in the Middle East is
a national priority

20:54.500 --> 20:58.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
of the United States
because We're seeing
war being threatened in

20:58.433 --> 21:03.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Lebanon, the Houthi
rebels, Iran, it is not
in the American national

21:03.333 --> 21:07.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
interest to let this
situation persist in
the unstable way that it

21:07.300 --> 21:12.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
has, so what would I
what would I say, look,
I, I, I don't have any,

21:13.300 --> 21:15.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
uh, anybody on speed
dial, OK, but I would say.

21:17.166 --> 21:19.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Get people in the room
and say what are we gonna
do to bring stability,

21:21.066 --> 21:23.433 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
durable stability to the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict,

21:25.100 --> 21:29.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
the way that Obama
tried to, tried to, um,
and others before her

21:30.900 --> 21:32.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
half, Attorney General
Ellison, before we let
you go, we know we're

21:32.666 --> 21:34.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
going to hear a lot more
about Governor Walls
tomorrow. What is one

21:34.900 --> 21:38.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
thing that you think
we don't yet know about
this man that you know

21:38.800 --> 21:42.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
someone worked with
and and known for about
20 years now. What can

21:42.733 --> 21:47.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
we learn? Gwen Walls is
awesome. You're gonna
love some Gwen Walls.

21:49.466 --> 21:52.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
This is a compassionate,
smart woman, and uh I
I I'm looking forward

21:52.800 --> 21:57.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to her being the second

best place in these United. S

26:03.800 --> 26:08.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Grateful for the beauty

protect it for future

26:09.400 --> 26:12.166 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
generations. We

26:12.800 --> 26:13.966 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
First woman to

Proudly cast. For

26:18.833 --> 26:21.833 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
I'm the first woman
to the White House.

26:29.133 --> 26:32.133 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
OK.

26:36.066 --> 26:39.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
They're on to Nebraska
now as they go state
by state, territory by

26:39.800 --> 26:43.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
territory in this roll
call here, the Democratic
National Convention,

26:45.633 --> 26:48.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Minnesota and California
are being saved for
last as the home states

26:48.000 --> 26:51.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
of both. Vice President
Harris and Governor
Tim Walls, her running

26:51.933 --> 26:55.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
mate back up here in
our PBS News booth. We
want to check back in

26:55.166 --> 26:57.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
with Amy Walter, David
Brooks, and Jonathan
Capehart to give you

26:57.700 --> 27:00.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
a preview of some of the
things we're going to
be hearing from tonight,

27:01.800 --> 27:03.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
David, it strikes me
among the speakers on
the stage tonight. We

27:03.666 --> 27:07.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
are going to be hearing
and have already heard from
a number of Republicans.

27:09.066 --> 27:10.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
They're being featured
on that stage tonight
and we've talked about

27:10.600 --> 27:13.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
this before, but this idea that
this ticket and this party wants

27:13.800 --> 27:17.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to say you don't have
to be a Democrat to
support this ticket. What

27:17.866 --> 27:21.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
do you make of the way
they're making that? so
far so far we'll see.

27:23.233 --> 27:25.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I mean, obviously there
are a lot of never
Trumpers. Donald Trump

27:25.266 --> 27:29.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
expelled a lot of
suburban pretty well
educated voters who would

27:29.966 --> 27:33.866 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
always consider themselves
Republican, uh, and
they're looking around

27:33.866 --> 27:37.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and some of them have
switched all the way
over. Some of them found

27:37.000 --> 27:39.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
it a little easier
to go with Joe Biden
because he seems to be in

27:39.666 --> 27:43.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
2020 the most moderate.
Will they feel the
same way about Kamala

27:43.466 --> 27:46.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Harris? I'm a little
more skeptical than I
was of Joe Biden, but

27:46.166 --> 27:49.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
it's entirely possible
and so you can't get
votes. Unless you ask,

27:51.333 --> 27:53.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
so they're asking, good
for them. What about
that, Jonathan, the,

27:54.933 --> 27:57.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
the Harris was attempt
to reach out to these
disaffected Republicans.

27:58.966 --> 28:01.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
The risk there is
that you can sometimes
alienate the base, and,

28:02.866 --> 28:05.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and, and the voters,
the Democrats, you know,
say that they always

28:05.300 --> 28:08.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
need the 2020 winning coalition
that that delivered Joe Biden in

28:08.633 --> 28:13.633 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
the White House. The
bases here. The basis
the base is fine. I think

28:15.400 --> 28:17.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
that that's not to say
that they shouldn't go
out and ask for their

28:17.166 --> 28:20.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
votes, which is what
they're doing. But I do
think it is important

28:20.333 --> 28:24.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
that they do go to those
disaffected Republicans
with the number

28:24.300 --> 28:28.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
one argument that
President Biden made to
get elected in 20. And

28:28.500 --> 28:32.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
an argument that is
part of Vice President
Harris's argument to be

28:32.600 --> 28:37.266 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
elected in 204. President
Biden called it democracy
is on the ballot.

28:39.133 --> 28:42.300 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
She's calling it freedom.
And there are Republicans
disaffected Republicans

28:43.933 --> 28:46.200 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
for whom that is
important. I mean, they
are never Trumpers because

28:46.200 --> 28:49.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
they don't like Trump,
but there are Republicans
who won't necessarily

28:49.400 --> 28:53.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
talk to pollsters won't
necessarily talk to
any of us, certainly

28:53.200 --> 28:58.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
on the record, but. For
whom they viewed Donald
Trump as an existential

28:59.933 --> 29:01.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
threat to the way they
view the country, to
their respect for the

29:01.866 --> 29:06.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Constitution and um and
the values of this country
and so Vice President

29:08.100 --> 29:11.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Harris and Governor
Wallace are absolutely
right to ask for their

29:11.366 --> 29:14.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
votes and the fact that
you're going to have
Republicans here vouching

29:14.933 --> 29:19.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
for them. I think speaks
speaks volumes and I'm
trying to remember,

29:21.633 --> 29:25.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I don't remember any
Democrats for Trump in
Milwaukee. Because I

29:25.900 --> 29:29.633 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
don't think they asked
for any. What about
David, not just this idea

29:29.633 --> 29:34.266 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
of disaffected Republicans,
but self-identified
independence, right?

29:36.033 --> 29:37.633 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I spoke with Alyssa
Sloan earlier, the
congresswoman from Michigan,

29:39.333 --> 29:41.633 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
who talked about how she
would not be in office
but for independent

29:41.633 --> 29:44.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
support in the state
of Michigan. She's not
running for the open

29:44.400 --> 29:48.233 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
US Senate seat there, of
course, but could this
message have an impact

29:48.233 --> 29:50.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
for some of those voters
as well. Yeah, they
really have to follow

29:50.866 --> 29:54.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
through on policy.
There's two wing wings
here. First is how do you

29:54.733 --> 29:58.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
present yourself? Uh,
Waltz presents himself.
a regular American

29:58.300 --> 30:01.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
guy that he'll be fine
with independence on
presentation skills,

30:03.233 --> 30:05.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
but then people tend
to do vote on policy.
They want to be in the

30:05.166 --> 30:09.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
neighborhood of your
core policy, and you
as a candidate want to

30:09.066 --> 30:12.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
pursue something called
the median voter theory,
which is find the

30:12.366 --> 30:16.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
median voter and be
as close as you can to
that person. Amy earlier

30:16.133 --> 30:20.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
on tonight mentioned
the Obamas and the Obama
coalition that he built.

30:21.933 --> 30:24.500 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
That was a coalition with
a lot of white working
class voters. It's

30:24.500 --> 30:27.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
no way Biden's going
to do as well as Obama
did. But it could do

30:27.966 --> 30:30.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
well with some of
these other independent
voters who are, by the

30:30.266 --> 30:33.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
way, not in the middle.
They're all over the
map, but Obama did some

30:33.900 --> 30:37.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
things that were smart.
He was pretty moderate
on immigration, said

30:37.766 --> 30:41.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
some tough stuff on undocumented
immigration. He was a big budget

30:41.500 --> 30:44.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
balancer, at least
an attempt to reduce
deficits. He did the sorts

30:44.933 --> 30:48.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
of things that make these voters
feel OK, he's not too left wing.

30:50.500 --> 30:52.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And he did that very
successfully both times.
That's the work that

30:52.566 --> 30:55.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I think Kamala Harris
has to do. People, her
main weakness, if you

30:55.800 --> 30:58.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
look at polling, it's
simple. People think she's
a little too progressive.

30:59.933 --> 31:02.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And so what can she do
to to rein that out and
hence appeal to those

31:02.166 --> 31:03.500 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
voters. You know

31:04.400 --> 31:04.533 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
It

31:06.233 --> 31:09.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
We've been doing some
polling at the Cook
Political Report and one

31:09.000 --> 31:13.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
of the questions we
asked for swing state
voters is how do you view

31:13.300 --> 31:17.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Donald Trump? You
like him, you like his
policies. You don't like

31:17.333 --> 31:22.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
him, you don't like
his policies, but there
are 17% of voters who

31:22.066 --> 31:26.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
say, I don't like him
personally, but I like
his policies and that

31:26.100 --> 31:30.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
goes, I think, to the
point that you were both
making, which is reaching

31:30.300 --> 31:33.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
out to those voters
who say, well, maybe I
think she's a little too

31:33.733 --> 31:38.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
liberal or maybe I think. What's
better on the economy, but What,

31:40.233 --> 31:42.833 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
what, whether it's his
temperament, whether it
is the way he behaved

31:42.833 --> 31:47.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
while he was president. They are
hesitant to embrace him. Now how

31:47.166 --> 31:51.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
you win over those voters is She
doesn't need to win all of them,

31:53.866 --> 31:55.800 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
but she needs to get some
of those. Let, let's bring
into the conversation,

31:57.500 --> 31:59.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Congressman Maxwell
Cross. It's great to
have you here represents

31:59.066 --> 32:01.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Florida's 10th district. Uh, we
spoke, I guess a couple of years

32:01.866 --> 32:04.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
ago when you were first
elected at the age of
25, the first member

32:04.966 --> 32:09.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
of Generation Z to serve
in the US Congress. Pamela
Harris, her campaign

32:09.266 --> 32:12.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
has been meeting with
young voters, social
media influencers, lots

32:12.500 --> 32:17.500 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
of grassroots organizations.
There is a viral
social media movement

32:19.266 --> 32:21.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
behind her. In your
view, how does she corral
all of that and turn

32:21.500 --> 32:25.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
all of that energy and
enthusiasm among young
voters into votes.

32:27.166 --> 32:29.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Well, what we're seeing
is we're seeing a
movement candidate. What

32:29.066 --> 32:33.266 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
makes a movement
candidate? Someone who's
effectively gotten pop

32:33.266 --> 32:37.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
culture and the culture
of this country to
merge with the campaign.

32:38.766 --> 32:41.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
We call it bridging the
gap between cool and
consciousness. You know,

32:43.100 --> 32:45.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I think back to March
for Our Lives, um, back
in 2018. I remember

32:45.300 --> 32:48.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
going to the 1st march
in Orlando, seeing
friends that I know hate

32:48.866 --> 32:51.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
politics. I wanted to
ask them why they came
and they said, because

32:51.800 --> 32:55.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
my friends came, or
because I felt like I
needed to be here or some

32:55.133 --> 32:58.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
artists I love told me
to be here. It's almost
beyond politics. It's

32:58.500 --> 33:02.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
human, it's culture.
That's what Kamala Harris
has tapped into. And

33:02.266 --> 33:06.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
when you tap into
that, the potential is
unlimited. Look at the most

33:06.600 --> 33:09.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
successful social movements, not
just in this country but in the

33:09.566 --> 33:13.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
world. There was that
deep. Action between
culture and the movement,

33:15.466 --> 33:17.233 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
and that's what's happening
with Kamala Harris.
So now the question

33:17.233 --> 33:19.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
is how do we take that
excitement and translate
it to votes and not

33:19.733 --> 33:23.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
just votes, but in
between the vote action so
people get their friends

33:23.733 --> 33:26.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
to vote. That's what it means to
organize and what we're doing is

33:26.866 --> 33:29.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
we're traveling this
country meeting with
people right after this

33:29.666 --> 33:33.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
convention. I'm hitting
the road. I'm going
up a 5-state tour back

33:33.566 --> 33:36.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to school tour and a
bunch of the surrogates
are going back to school

33:36.333 --> 33:40.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
tours so we can rev up the Hars
for President student groups and

33:40.666 --> 33:44.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
get the 4 volunteers excited to
go speak with other people, then

33:44.700 --> 33:48.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
we'll double back at
the end of September
and October with bigger

33:48.166 --> 33:51.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
events to get more
people engaged as well,
so we're going to be on

33:51.866 --> 33:55.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
the ground with his
voters digitally, but at
the end of the day young

33:55.900 --> 33:59.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
voters love her authenticity and
once that pulls them in, even if

33:59.533 --> 34:02.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
they don't care about
politics, then they get
to hear her message.

34:04.300 --> 34:05.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Can I ask, is this your
first convention? This
is my first convention,

34:07.600 --> 34:09.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
yeah. How's it going?
It's great, it's hectic.
I have like 30 things

34:09.600 --> 34:13.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
on my calendar today,
but um it's great. I'm
so honored to be here

34:13.166 --> 34:15.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and this energy. I've
been traveling the country
for the vice president.

34:17.266 --> 34:18.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I'm running into the people I've
met at campaign office openings

34:18.966 --> 34:22.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
at canvases right here.
So this is just so
exciting. We know we've

34:22.533 --> 34:26.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
already seen a sort of
a semblance of economic
policy proposals from

34:26.133 --> 34:30.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
this campaign. What else do you
want to see her put more details

34:30.100 --> 34:32.966 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
behind that you think would
appeal to more younger
voters? What specific

34:32.966 --> 34:36.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
policies? Well, I'm
excited about the housing
policies here already

34:36.100 --> 34:39.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
rolled out. I think
housing. is one of the top
issues for young people.

34:41.166 --> 34:43.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I have a congressional
office, one of the first
offices on a college

34:43.066 --> 34:46.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
campus and the top one
of the top three things
is housing insecurity.

34:48.566 --> 34:50.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I'm excited to see the
Vice President talk a
little bit more about

34:50.400 --> 34:54.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
the climate crisis and
exactly how she wants
to build off of this

34:54.466 --> 34:57.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
amazing record from the
Biden Harris administration,
the most amount

34:57.666 --> 35:01.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
of resources and money
dedicated to this crisis,
not in the history

35:01.133 --> 35:04.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
of this country, but the history
of the world, and that's that's

35:04.933 --> 35:08.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
a tough bar to to go on top of.
But she's going to do it because

35:08.733 --> 35:11.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
this is where the people are at.
I always say the climate crisis

35:11.600 --> 35:15.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
isn't coming, it's here.
I'm from the state of
Florida. We experience

35:15.433 --> 35:19.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
it every day now with
the extreme heat going
on, these hurricanes

35:19.000 --> 35:22.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
that are lasting longer,
killing more people.
I have conservatives

35:22.866 --> 35:27.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
that are business owners
along the coast who
have contacted me and

35:27.000 --> 35:30.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Climate Group to say I
haven't been on board
before, but now I am

35:30.500 --> 35:34.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
because it's hurting the
bottom line because of the
rising sea temperatures

35:34.366 --> 35:39.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and what that means
for businesses. Small
businesses, so I'm really

35:39.300 --> 35:42.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
excited about the future of this
campaign, but the vice president

35:42.500 --> 35:45.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
is going to be building
off of this amazing
record that she has with

35:45.600 --> 35:48.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
the president. You have
your roots in organizing,
as you mentioned

35:48.766 --> 35:52.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
is the former organizer
for March for Our
Lives. Give us a sense

35:52.600 --> 35:55.866 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
of the, of the difference
just in this past
month in terms of the

35:55.866 --> 36:00.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
momentum, the energy,
enthusiasm that you've
seen. With Pamela Harris

36:00.466 --> 36:05.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
at top of the ticket.
2-3 days after the
switch happened. I went

36:07.100 --> 36:09.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to Las Vegas, Nevada
for some events. I did
some office openings

36:09.533 --> 36:13.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and my memo it said
we expected 100 people
at office opening. The

36:13.566 --> 36:17.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
first one I showed up to had 450
people at it. I had to speak to

36:17.366 --> 36:22.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
3 overflow rooms. Next
I'm going to a group of
retirees doing coastguards

36:22.166 --> 36:26.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to be 20 people. It was
120 people. People were
writing these postcards

36:26.266 --> 36:30.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
in their cars outside.
The excitement is here,
but here's the real

36:30.966 --> 36:34.933 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
thing. I've been organizing
on campaigns since
Fresh 1 usually campaign

36:34.933 --> 36:39.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
volunteers skew a little
older, um, but I'm seeing
a multi-generational

36:41.566 --> 36:44.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
thing here. I saw groups
of high schoolers leave
their high school,

36:46.200 --> 36:48.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
you know, after classes
ended and come to the
office so they could

36:48.333 --> 36:50.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
sign up. And here's the
thing, it wasn't one
or two of them. They

36:50.566 --> 36:53.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
came in groups, friend groups to
be a part of it. And that's what

36:53.266 --> 36:56.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I'm talking about in
terms of culture and
getting them engaged. When

36:56.266 --> 36:59.633 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
we talk about the youth
vote, we usually just
talk about it in the

36:59.633 --> 37:04.000 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
context of this election.
But if we activate
young people the right

37:04.000 --> 37:07.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
way now, it's about
this election, but it's
also about the next 10.

37:09.533 --> 37:12.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
It's about the next
20. Older voters who
don't vote, which isn't

37:12.333 --> 37:16.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
a huge pot of folks. It wasn't a
thing that started recently for

37:16.300 --> 37:19.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
them. They haven't been
voting their entire
life. Now is the time

37:19.900 --> 37:23.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to activate the vote,
the voters of the future,
and that's why this

37:23.200 --> 37:25.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
is so important. It's
about this election,
but it's about the next

37:25.933 --> 37:30.933 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
1020, 30 years. Congressman
Maxwell Frost from
Florida, thank you

37:32.633 --> 37:34.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
so much for being here.
Appreciate your time.
Thank you. Always great

37:34.466 --> 37:37.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to speak with you. All
right, that roll call
is continuing down on

37:37.566 --> 37:42.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
the convention floor.
Let's take a listen in
now. And vice president

37:43.766 --> 37:46.066 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
of the United States
of America. Let's go

37:56.766 --> 38:00.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
You know, ladies and
gentlemen, My name is
DJ Cassidy. This is the

it all with a guest.
Laura, take it away.
Thanks Ana I'm here with

44:20.533 --> 44:24.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Minnita Meraju. She
is the president of
reproductive freedom for

44:24.366 --> 44:27.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
all. Minnie, thanks so
much for joining us for
having me. So I just

44:27.966 --> 44:30.933 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
wanted to start by asking
you, look, abortion
was always going to

44:30.933 --> 44:35.933 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
be an issue this election
cycle. Is Kamala Harris
a better messenger

44:37.633 --> 44:39.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
now on that issue than
President Biden was,
you know, Kamala Harris

44:39.566 --> 44:43.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
has been an advocate
and a champion for
reproductive freedom her

44:43.200 --> 44:48.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
entire career. She's
been the main voice for
this administration,

44:49.900 --> 44:53.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
really leading the fight
for the entire whole
of government response

44:53.166 --> 44:57.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to the jobs crisis,
so in many ways she's
the perfect messenger.

44:59.300 --> 45:02.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I will say Joe Biden,
the beauty of Joe Biden
is he is the kind of

45:04.233 --> 45:06.833 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
leader who can evolve. and grow
to meet at the moment, so we are

45:06.833 --> 45:10.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
so grateful for what he
did and where he where
he evolved to on this

45:10.766 --> 45:14.633 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
issue, but yeah, Kamala
Harris is able to bring
a level of authenticity

45:14.633 --> 45:18.366 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and energy and longtime
career commitment that really

45:20.066 --> 45:23.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
It's hard to beat in
this moment. Last night
we heard uh from some

45:23.166 --> 45:24.866 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
women who have dealt with

45:26.400 --> 45:29.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
directly with the impact
of abortion restrictions
in their states.

45:30.900 --> 45:32.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Tell us a little bit about what
you've been hearing in the years

45:32.700 --> 45:37.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
since Dobbs and also
you know. Do you think
that it is still just

45:39.233 --> 45:42.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
as salient this election
cycle as it was for
some voters in 2022.

45:44.700 --> 45:46.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
So the women you heard
from last night, they're
heroes. Nobody should

45:46.600 --> 45:50.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
have to come to an arena
like this and tell the
story of their childhood

45:50.533 --> 45:54.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
rape. Nobody should have to come
here and tell America about how

45:54.933 --> 45:59.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
they almost died trying
to have a family, so
these stories, they're

46:01.733 --> 46:04.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
just a handful of the
hundreds of stories of
women who you will never

46:04.533 --> 46:09.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
meet who have suffered
since Dobbs, the
humanitarian crisis post

46:09.066 --> 46:12.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
stops of lack of access
to reproductive care.
The thing about the

46:12.900 --> 46:16.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
salience issue is the longer
the bans are in place,

46:17.566 --> 46:21.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
the more of these horror stories
Americans hear, the stronger the

46:21.000 --> 46:25.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
issue becomes. People
are so ready to end this
crisis, and that includes

46:25.966 --> 46:30.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
the majority of independents and
many Republicans. It's how we've

46:30.300 --> 46:33.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
been winning in these
battleground states with
these ballot referendums.

46:35.666 --> 46:38.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
You can't win without
a crossover vote, so
we think this is going

46:38.100 --> 46:42.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to be the number one
persuasion issue in
this country and will be

46:42.300 --> 46:47.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
the most important issue on many
folks' minds connected to A need

46:47.133 --> 46:50.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
for a fundamental freedom to be
restored to them in this country

46:51.900 --> 46:53.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and for government to
stay out of our business
when we're making

46:53.566 --> 46:56.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
personal health care decisions.
Are there any voters that you've

46:56.133 --> 46:59.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
been surprised that
have come and spoken
to reproductive Freedom

46:59.066 --> 47:02.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
for all, and said that
this is the issue that
changed their mind

47:02.433 --> 47:06.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
voters that people
wouldn't necessarily
consider abortion rights

47:06.900 --> 47:10.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
or reproductive rights
being their top issue.
So in Arizona, my team's

47:10.566 --> 47:14.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
been on the ground
knocking on doors for the
ballot measure and for

47:14.200 --> 47:17.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
candidates like Ribbon Gallego,
and they've been in Really tough

47:17.400 --> 47:22.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
turf Latino Catholic turf in you
know the suburbs of Phoenix and

47:23.866 --> 47:25.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
everyone they've talked to said,
you know, I might feel a certain

47:25.700 --> 47:29.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
way about abortion
in my own life, but I
absolutely want us to have

47:29.600 --> 47:32.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
that fundamental freedom
to decide if, when and
how to have a family,

47:34.433 --> 47:36.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and I do not want that
taken away from my
mothers, my sisters, my

47:36.866 --> 47:40.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
daughters. We're seeing more and
more men in this fight too, and

47:40.400 --> 47:43.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
that's really promising
because we honestly
can't win without the

47:43.766 --> 47:47.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
broad coalition and
men have to be part of
that. Thank you so much

47:47.700 --> 47:52.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
for your time, Ana and
Jeff, you heard there
that abortion is still

47:52.366 --> 47:56.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
as Minnie says, going
to be one of the biggest
mobilizing factors

47:56.266 --> 48:00.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
for Democrats this
election cycle. Barone,
thanks as always as this

48:00.666 --> 48:03.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
roll call winds its way
to South Dakota, Amy
picking up on what they

48:03.733 --> 48:06.933 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
were talking about. Look,
every time reproductive
rights has been

48:06.933 --> 48:10.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
on the ballot since the
Supreme Court overturned
Roe. Anti-abortion

48:10.766 --> 48:13.866 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
activists and Republicans
have lost and this
issue will be on the

48:13.866 --> 48:17.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
ballot in Colorado,
Florida, Maryland, Nevada,
New York, and South

48:17.566 --> 48:20.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Dakota, and there are
other states potentially
that could add similar

48:20.866 --> 48:24.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
measures. How might this
move the needle in a
in a in a close race.

48:26.500 --> 48:29.033 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I think the fact that it
is part of the conversation
that's happening,

48:30.733 --> 48:34.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
that alone is beneficial
for Democrats. Look if
You know, every campaign

48:34.066 --> 48:37.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
wants to fight on the
turf that's friendliest
to it. If the fight

48:37.566 --> 48:42.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
is about and we're in
a state where they're
talking a lot about this

48:42.066 --> 48:46.400 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
issue. That's the kind of
place that would, that's
a kind of a conversation

48:46.400 --> 48:50.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
that benefits Democrats.
I would argue all the
way down the ballot,

48:51.833 --> 48:55.200 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
not just at the presidential
level, but there's
a reason that Harris

48:56.933 --> 48:59.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
doesn't really talk
about abortion per se.
It's the word freedom

48:59.600 --> 49:00.566 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
that she's been

49:02.066 --> 49:05.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
spending a lot of time on. And
it kind of goes to the point um

49:06.800 --> 49:11.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
that uh Arizona director
was having with Laura
on the floor there

49:13.133 --> 49:16.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
that there are so many
voters who say, look,
portion to them is a

49:18.300 --> 49:20.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
very personal decision.
And what I would hear,
I hear the same thing

49:20.700 --> 49:25.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
in focus groups. People
who would say, well, I
personally am pro-life,

49:27.033 --> 49:30.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
but I didn't think that
the government would
go and go this far on

49:30.166 --> 49:35.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
that issue and so this
idea of giving, it's not
necessarily the issue

49:36.900 --> 49:41.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
of abortion. It is this
idea of freedoms being
rolled back of rights

49:41.133 --> 49:46.133 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
that were once. Considered
sacrosanct no longer
being there and so

49:47.766 --> 49:51.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
That's how you're going
to hear the Harris
campaign talk about it,

49:52.200 --> 49:52.566 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
which will be a little
bit different than

49:54.266 --> 49:56.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
how the Arizona director
is going to talk about
that issue specifically

49:56.600 --> 50:00.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
in her state, David,
to that point, we, we
have seen this sort of

50:00.066 --> 50:04.833 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
reframing of the language
with the Harris Was
the idea that President

50:04.833 --> 50:08.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Biden had been running
on about democracy
being at stake here, but

50:08.500 --> 50:12.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
reframing it to focus
more on this word
freedom, right? Freedom or

50:12.200 --> 50:16.033 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
reproductive rights
and access, freedom to
vote and have access to

50:16.033 --> 50:20.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
the ballot box. As well,
does that sort of undercut
some of the Republican

50:20.966 --> 50:24.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
argument heard from Trump Vance
and others saying that democracy

50:24.266 --> 50:28.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
is not at stake. That's
hyperbolic more of
an effective Democrat

50:28.500 --> 50:30.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
message? Well, I think
what they're trying
to do here is, as I've

50:30.966 --> 50:35.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
said, they've got a
pretty progressive set
of agenda items, probably

50:35.200 --> 50:37.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
more progressive than Joe Biden,
certainly more progressive than

50:37.666 --> 50:40.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Barack Obama. So how do
you persuade people these
are the right things

50:40.566 --> 50:43.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
in an election campaign?
The one thing you do
is you pick a bunch,

50:45.400 --> 50:48.566 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
as I said, stylistically.
Football coaches, you
pick a football coach.

50:50.333 --> 50:52.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
People don't think
football coaches are
that progressive. I don't

50:52.133 --> 50:54.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
see why that's right,
but that's what they
think. The second thing

50:54.133 --> 50:58.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
you do is you argue for
progressive clauses with
conservative language.

50:59.900 --> 51:03.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
What do you mean by that? And so
you could say I'm for pro-choice

51:03.266 --> 51:05.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
because I'm a feminist.
I'm for, you know,
abortion rights because

51:05.700 --> 51:10.300 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
I'm a feminist. I believe
in empowering women, or
you could say freedom.

51:12.100 --> 51:14.266 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
And freedoms cus a little
conservative and so
you could say I'm for

51:14.266 --> 51:18.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
the child tax credit
because I'm for equity,
I'm for justice. That

51:18.500 --> 51:22.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
skews a little more progressive,
or you could say I'm for family

51:22.600 --> 51:26.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
values. I'm for family
cohesion and so there, there
tend to be conservative

51:26.866 --> 51:31.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
framings for progressive
policies, and I would
say the Harris Waltz

51:31.466 --> 51:34.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
campaign is doing that all over
the place. Jonathan, what do you

51:34.300 --> 51:39.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
make of that? I think of
Governor Westmore. Uh,
when he ran for governor

51:41.066 --> 51:44.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
of Maryland and um he
as a, as a, a veteran.
That it was important

51:46.633 --> 51:50.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
for him. Democrats to
reclaim the word patriotism
to reclaim patriotism

51:52.100 --> 51:54.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
that Republicans and
conservatives are not
the only ones who are

51:54.566 --> 51:59.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
able to be patriots, and
I think the reframing
of the the conversation.

52:01.333 --> 52:05.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
In the way that David
talked about it, yeah.
Democrats reclaiming

52:05.166 --> 52:10.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
the word freedom. It's
not a conservative
framing. It's an American

52:10.933 --> 52:12.466 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
framing Americans want

52:14.100 --> 52:17.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
freedom over their
over their own choices,
freedom from government

52:17.566 --> 52:21.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
telling them what to
do with their bodies,
how they can vote, how

52:21.300 --> 52:24.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
they can earn how they
can earn a living. One
of the things I think

52:24.066 --> 52:29.033 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Vice President says
is freedom. Freedom to
take care of your family

52:29.033 --> 52:33.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to provide for your
family, and I think when
it's put in that way

52:33.000 --> 52:37.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
with your Democrat Republican
conservative, or or liberal,

52:39.066 --> 52:41.366 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
everyone no one, no matter
the political persuasion,
everyone understands

52:41.366 --> 52:45.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
what freedom is. I
wonder if you will weigh
in on the conversation

52:45.700 --> 52:49.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
we had moments ago with
Maxwell Frost because
when he described this

52:49.800 --> 52:53.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
energy and enthusiasm
that we're seeing here
and across the country

52:53.366 --> 52:58.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
as a movement. It struck
me that in 2008 when
Barack Obama was elected,

53:00.133 --> 53:03.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Maxwell Frost was 11
years old. He's 27 now.
He's 11 years old. He

53:03.500 --> 53:07.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
would have been 11 years
old. There's an entire
generation of Americans

53:07.000 --> 53:10.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
for whom this kind of
thing is, is brand new.
They've not seen this

53:10.900 --> 53:13.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
in their entire adult
lives and this, it strikes
me it's just, it's,

53:15.633 --> 53:17.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
it's fairly remarkable.
Yeah, it's, you know,
I, I was thinking I

53:17.433 --> 53:21.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
was in one of the Iowa
rallies in 2008 where
Obama was talking about

53:21.766 --> 53:26.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
hope. And he was giving
his hope speech and
people were going crazy.

53:27.833 --> 53:29.633 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I was going crazy. It
was like one of the most
moving political things

53:29.633 --> 53:31.633 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I've ever seen, and
then I'd go at the end
of that, what was that

53:31.633 --> 53:35.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
speech about? What
did he say? Like, I
couldn't really tell you,

53:37.066 --> 53:40.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
but it felt great.
And the Obama campaign
proved you can get a long

53:40.333 --> 53:45.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
way on chemistry, on
a certain projection
of the future and that

53:47.033 --> 53:49.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
what they're doing here
is going, we're not,
we're not going back,

53:51.400 --> 53:53.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
we're going forward.
That is the normal
democratic registry. We're

53:53.266 --> 53:57.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
going forward. Trump
is Make America great
again. He's looking back.

53:58.966 --> 54:00.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And so when they get
in a forward register,
you don't even have to

54:00.866 --> 54:03.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
define the future all
that much. People can
really get swept up in

54:03.366 --> 54:06.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
it. It always used to
bug me that Obama would
say he was prouder

54:06.366 --> 54:10.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
of his 2012 campaign,
which is sort of like
trench warfare than it

54:10.366 --> 54:13.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
was in the campaign. I
thought the 08 campaign
was one of the most

54:13.600 --> 54:16.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
fun things I've covered
mostly about this at
this point though the

54:16.933 --> 54:21.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
larger point is about
campaigning in in in
poetry and governing in

54:21.566 --> 54:25.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
prose, which is exactly
what The Republicans
are doing a little prose

54:25.600 --> 54:30.600 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
probably, but the difference
in the generations,
right? He was 11

54:32.366 --> 54:35.700 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
millennials were at where
he sits right now. They
were that generation

54:35.700 --> 54:40.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
that was so open and
so thirsting for and
actually receptive to.

54:42.633 --> 54:46.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
A lot of people would
say it was like corny,
hope. What you're, you,

54:48.333 --> 54:49.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
you should be more cynical. You
should be more discerning. There

54:49.866 --> 54:53.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
is less of that. This generation
and quite frankly, a lot of the

54:53.633 --> 54:58.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
millennials since then have
only seen a pretty bleak

54:59.700 --> 55:02.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
set of circumstances
between, you know,
during that campaign, of

55:02.566 --> 55:07.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
course you have the
financial crisis. We
have COVID. Um, and You

55:09.233 --> 55:12.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
know, we have all, we
have January 6th, right,
so so much of what

55:13.966 --> 55:17.266 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
politics and and and
institutionalism has meant for

55:19.000 --> 55:22.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
this group of younger
voters, there's a reason
for them to be cynical

55:22.100 --> 55:27.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and like when those
first. Coconut memes came
up with Kamala Harris

55:28.566 --> 55:33.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
that I did not understand, and I
had to ask a young Gen Zer what

55:33.766 --> 55:34.966 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
they mean and I she

55:36.666 --> 55:39.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
showed them to me. And
I, I said, well, I don't
understand. Are you

55:39.500 --> 55:44.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
guys making fun of her
with this meme? Or are
you like praising her

55:46.233 --> 55:49.233 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and she's like, well,
it's kind of both, and
that to me is that that

55:49.233 --> 55:53.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
generation too where
it's kind of both where
they, they really want

55:53.366 --> 55:57.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
a certain amount of
authenticity, which she's
able to have and that

55:57.800 --> 56:00.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
they are not, I wouldn't
say it's cynical as
much as you kind of

56:00.966 --> 56:05.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
have to prove it to
us. We're not going to
let you just give us,

56:06.533 --> 56:10.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
uh, you know, this. Hope sort of
spoon it out to us. We've got to

56:10.266 --> 56:15.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
find ways for you to talk to us
about it in our language. And I,

56:17.100 --> 56:21.066 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
so I find that generational
difference even though
it's only 10 years,

56:22.766 --> 56:25.900 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
really, really fascinating.
The thing that's
interesting is, David,

56:27.633 --> 56:29.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
you were talking about
the 2008 campaign being
hope but not knowing,

56:30.333 --> 56:30.900 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
well, wait, what did,
what did he tell us? and

56:32.733 --> 56:36.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
you know we could also
go back to I remember
watching Ronald Reagan's.

56:36.766 --> 56:37.600 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
Morning in America

56:39.066 --> 56:43.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Uh, and the bear in the woods a.
I mean, morning in America. Hope

56:44.966 --> 56:49.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Freedom it it it seems as though
this, this campaign is this

56:51.766 --> 56:55.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
this young generation's
hope it's this generation's
mourning in America.

56:57.100 --> 57:00.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
It hits them here. They
get it in a way that
is inspiring that it's

57:02.333 --> 57:05.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
not maybe tied to any
one particular policy,
although the congressman

57:05.600 --> 57:10.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
laid out what is very
important to the housing,
climate crisis, a

57:12.300 --> 57:14.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
bunch of and a bunch of
other things but it's
very specific. These

57:14.166 --> 57:18.833 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
folks, this generation
is emotion, but it's
also, it's also intellect

57:20.700 --> 57:24.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and caring and that's
where you know Morning
in America is forward

57:24.533 --> 57:28.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
looking. Hope is forward
looking and what the
Harris Wells campaign

57:28.433 --> 57:32.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
again as you were saying
is forward looking.
Does that also explain

57:32.066 --> 57:35.633 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
why for years the Biden
White House has always
said we have these

57:35.633 --> 57:39.200 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
policies that are popular,
but President Biden
himself is underwater

57:39.200 --> 57:42.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
in terms of polling
because he didn't have
that same sort of visceral

57:42.133 --> 57:45.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
connection that you're
talking about with
the American public. I

57:45.433 --> 57:49.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
mean that very well,
that very well might be
that also might explain

57:49.600 --> 57:51.733 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
because as I've been
here I've been asking

57:53.466 --> 57:56.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Democrats who've been
on the ground, please.
Tell me what it was

57:56.300 --> 58:01.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
like on July 20th. And
then on July 21st, 22nd,
23rd. If I'm getting

58:01.266 --> 58:06.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
the date right when
President Biden withdrew
from the campaign and

58:07.966 --> 58:10.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
they all talk about it
being a light switch
going up that immediate.

58:12.400 --> 58:15.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And they've never seen
anything like it. And it
could just be everything

58:15.400 --> 58:18.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
that we're talking about
around the table, they've
been given a reason

58:20.033 --> 58:23.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
to be excited even though so
far the vice president hasn't

58:25.600 --> 58:28.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Put any daylight between
her and the man she's
replaced. All right,

58:29.866 --> 58:31.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
we're going to take
a short break for our
PBS stations. We'll be

58:31.700 --> 58:34.300 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
right back with continued
live coverage of the
Democratic National

58:34.300 --> 58:37.300 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Convention. Don't go anywhere.

58:59.133 --> 59:03.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I'm Michael Beschloss,
presidential historian
and Newshour contributor.

59:05.066 --> 59:08.466 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Democratic convention
2016 Philadelphia.

59:10.133 --> 59:13.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Hillary Clinton and
Bernie Sanders had duped
it out throughout a

59:13.966 --> 59:18.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
very long and oftentimes
bitter campaign finally
Bernie Sanders was

59:20.700 --> 59:23.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
willing to support
Hillary Clinton. He
finally spoke on Clinton's

59:23.733 --> 59:28.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
behalf very briefly at
the end of that roll
call. And I move that

59:28.566 --> 59:33.566 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Hillary Clinton be selected
as the nominee of the
a party for president

59:35.300 --> 59:39.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%

But the big question was
How enthusiastic would

59:41.466 --> 59:45.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
his supporters be?
Through the convention we
saw little moments that

59:47.566 --> 59:50.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
suggested that there
were an awful lot of
Sanders people who might

59:50.533 --> 59:54.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
not be very enthusiastic
about voting for Hillary
Clinton that fall.

Soda

01:03:47.333 --> 01:03:51.533 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Hans Korvik and Tim Walls
with my neighbor, coach,
and favorite teacher.

01:03:53.300 --> 01:03:55.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
We were excited to go
to his classroom every
day if he's ever been

01:03:55.266 --> 01:03:58.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
in high school, you
know that can be rare.
We opened our eyes to

01:03:58.800 --> 01:04:02.633 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
the world. He taught us
how to talk about global
issues with respect,

01:04:04.333 --> 01:04:07.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
curiosity, and kindness,
even and especially
when we disagreed, but

01:04:09.333 --> 01:04:12.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
he wasn't just a great teacher.
He was also a great neighbor and

01:04:12.133 --> 01:04:15.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
friend. In fact, when
he was in the midst of a
budget battle as governor

01:04:15.933 --> 01:04:20.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
of our state, he's still
phone time to attend
my brother's funeral.

01:04:21.700 --> 01:04:24.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Mr. Walls means the
world to my family. He's
always been there for

01:04:24.166 --> 01:04:28.566 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
us, and that's how I know
he'll always be there for
you as vice president.

Thank you, Han. Minister,

years in the National
Football League taught

01:04:45.666 --> 01:04:50.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
me a lot about leadership. A
good leader cannot be selfish.

01:04:52.100 --> 01:04:56.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
You have to look out for
his team. Coach Walsh

01:05:02.466 --> 01:05:03.433 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
And in November

01:05:04.666 --> 01:05:06.833 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Minnesota is going to
send Tim Walls. And come

01:05:07.600 --> 01:05:08.866 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
To the White House

01:05:13.933 --> 01:05:18.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Amy Klobuchar. Senator from

The great state of

01:06:13.533 --> 01:06:17.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%

01:06:23.500 --> 01:06:26.533 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
From the great state
of Nancy Pelosi.

01:06:29.966 --> 01:06:34.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Come from a state like
our nation of dreamers, of
doers, of entrepreneurs,

01:06:35.933 --> 01:06:37.900 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
of innovators that prides
itself on being on the
leading and cutting

01:06:37.900 --> 01:06:42.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
edge of new ideas.
California is the most
diverse state in the world's

01:06:42.766 --> 01:06:47.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
most diverse democracy. We pride
ourselves, we pride ourselves on

01:06:49.666 --> 01:06:53.266 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
our ability to live together
and advance together
and prosper together

01:06:53.266 --> 01:06:56.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
across every conceivable
and imaginable difference,

01:06:58.333 --> 01:07:02.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
but the thing we pride
ourselves most on is that
we believe the future

01:07:02.966 --> 01:07:05.666 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
happens in California first.

01:07:09.800 --> 01:07:14.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%

future taking shape

01:07:18.200 --> 01:07:22.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
with a star in Alameda courtroom
by the name of Kamala Harris.

01:07:24.666 --> 01:07:29.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I saw that star. I saw
that star fighting for
criminal justice, racial

01:07:31.300 --> 01:07:35.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
justice, economic
justice, social justice.
I saw that star get even

01:07:37.533 --> 01:07:41.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
brighter as Attorney
General of California as
a United States senator

and his vice president of
the United States of America.

Pamela Harris has always
done the right thing.
A champion for voting

01:08:00.266 --> 01:08:05.200 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Democrats and independents.
It's time for us to
do the right thing

01:08:06.966 --> 01:08:10.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and that is to elect

01:12:24.733 --> 01:12:27.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
candidate strikes me
that those would be the
four words, and we've

01:12:27.566 --> 01:12:31.333 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
been talking at the table
a few minutes earlier
about the word freedom,

01:12:33.066 --> 01:12:36.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
which, as you noticed
was plastered all over
the uh the stadium.

01:12:38.200 --> 01:12:40.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
You know, one other
thing that I found really
interesting in polling

01:12:40.266 --> 01:12:44.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
that we did a couple
of weeks ago we asked
voters, you know. Series

01:12:44.566 --> 01:12:47.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
of questions about who
they thought would do
a better job on certain

01:12:47.500 --> 01:12:51.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
issues. When we asked voters
though who made them feel safe?

01:12:53.733 --> 01:12:58.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Trump and Harris were
tied on that issue. And
I think if you think

01:12:58.333 --> 01:13:02.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
about safety in the way
that Donald Trump and
Republicans think about

01:13:02.166 --> 01:13:05.533 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
safety. It's the
border. It's crime,

01:13:07.266 --> 01:13:10.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
who makes, who's going
to do better on those
issues? I think what

01:13:10.066 --> 01:13:12.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Harris is leaning into
and part of the reason
I think she's getting

01:13:12.900 --> 01:13:17.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
some benefit on that
this idea of safety, it's
like the freedom thing,

01:13:19.100 --> 01:13:22.400 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
safety from what? Safety
from gun violence, safety for

01:13:24.133 --> 01:13:27.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Women, right, um, and,
uh, feeling safe from
chaos, and I think that

01:13:29.833 --> 01:13:33.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
it's sort of this again
we're going to be talking
a lot about language,

01:13:34.866 --> 01:13:38.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
but I think that is
also what some of this
messaging is if Trump

01:13:39.933 --> 01:13:43.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
wants to do the campaign
much like he did in
Milwaukee make this

01:13:43.966 --> 01:13:48.000 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
about who's the strongest
and by strong meaning
who's going to stand

01:13:48.000 --> 01:13:52.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
up to. The people who
are committing crimes,
people crossing the

01:13:52.766 --> 01:13:57.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
border illegally,
that does get him some
benefit, but Harris gets

01:13:58.633 --> 01:14:01.633 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
a benefit on getting. What

01:14:03.366 --> 01:14:07.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Other people's security,
what security means to
them that goes beyond

01:14:07.300 --> 01:14:10.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
just those two things.
I just want to point
out on the stage right

01:14:10.433 --> 01:14:14.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
now is Ana Navarro
was of course a former
Republican strategist and

01:14:14.566 --> 01:14:18.233 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
one of the hosts of
the daytime talk show
The View. She is one of

01:14:18.233 --> 01:14:22.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
the sort of billed as
a celebrity host for
primetime portion of this

01:14:22.700 --> 01:14:26.033 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
evening, and among the
Republicans that we
know will be featured

01:14:26.033 --> 01:14:29.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
on the stage here
tonight, but Jonathan,
it does strike me as we

01:14:29.966 --> 01:14:34.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
watch these proceedings
unfold here. We have See
Vice President Harris

01:14:34.466 --> 01:14:37.766 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
on both the first night.
Of the national convention

01:14:39.233 --> 01:14:42.433 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
where she was here to welcome in
President Joe Biden to sit here

01:14:42.433 --> 01:14:46.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
as he delivered his
remarks as well. She's
now beamed in on the 2nd

01:14:46.100 --> 01:14:48.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
night of the convention.
I remember back at the
Republican convention

01:14:48.933 --> 01:14:51.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
when we were saying
Donald Trump has appeared
here every single night,

01:14:53.466 --> 01:14:55.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and that's unusual.
Looks like Democrats
are kind of going by the

01:14:55.433 --> 01:15:00.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
same playbook here and
she's taking a page
from, from that playbook,

01:15:02.166 --> 01:15:04.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
which, you know, these
conventions can be a
little stale. They, they

01:15:04.166 --> 01:15:08.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
can use a little updating and. I
think you know having her in the

01:15:08.366 --> 01:15:13.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
hall yesterday, I, I agree with,
with Amy. That was a flex to be

01:15:13.300 --> 01:15:18.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
in two places at once
and also to be in the
place where Donald Trump.

01:15:19.733 --> 01:15:24.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Got his 3rd nomination and
she's there with 15,000 people.

01:15:26.033 --> 01:15:30.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
22 giant rallies at
the, at the same time,
I think, you know, well,

01:15:32.133 --> 01:15:36.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
do we know she's gonna
be here tomorrow? Because
I mean I don't think

01:15:36.300 --> 01:15:39.633 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
I mean it seems like some
of the programming is
still being put together

01:15:39.633 --> 01:15:43.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
but maybe, maybe she
will be, and you know
what, maybe that's just

01:15:43.433 --> 01:15:47.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
one more tradition, one
more custom that goes
by the wayside that

01:15:47.533 --> 01:15:51.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
isn't a bad thing.
Why? if she wants to be
here, why shouldn't she

01:15:51.800 --> 01:15:55.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
be here if the moment
he came in that Trump
came in the first night

01:15:55.533 --> 01:15:58.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I was like he's going
to be here every night
because he can't resist,

01:15:59.700 --> 01:16:02.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
but you know what? That
actually unified that
convention for those

01:16:02.466 --> 01:16:06.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
folks. Abraham Lincoln
never went to his
convention. I'd just like

01:16:06.900 --> 01:16:09.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to point that out. He
also didn't like memes
apparently hated games.

01:16:13.366 --> 01:16:17.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
The, the, the returning
to this issue of the
Harris campaign messaging

01:16:17.066 --> 01:16:21.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
because it strikes me
it is more thematic than
it is specific. It's

01:16:21.100 --> 01:16:24.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
about turning the
page, a new day in our
politics. Those four words

01:16:24.066 --> 01:16:28.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I mentioned to Amy
freedom, optimism,
opportunity, and faith. That

01:16:28.566 --> 01:16:33.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
resonates with folks.
Yeah, sometimes, but it's
summer. Summer campaign

01:16:33.400 --> 01:16:37.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
is different than a
fall campaign and in
summer weird like that's

01:16:37.200 --> 01:16:40.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
the kind of issue that shows up
in August, but in the fall, it's

01:16:40.533 --> 01:16:44.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
gonna get uglier and
the Republicans are not,
they've got a zillion

01:16:44.066 --> 01:16:47.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
clips of Kamala Harris
saying pretty progressive
things, and she's

01:16:47.266 --> 01:16:50.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
just going to have to
address all that. And
so that that's going

01:16:50.200 --> 01:16:53.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to be hitter, hitter and
hit her and so it's not
she's had a wonderful

01:16:53.933 --> 01:16:57.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
month or however long it's been,
it's not gonna last in my view.

01:16:59.033 --> 01:17:01.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
She's going to hit the
hard. Politics ain't
beanbag as Mayor Daley

01:17:01.866 --> 01:17:05.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
in the city used to say,
and so she's going to
hit that. And I think

01:17:05.433 --> 01:17:08.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
the, the, the questions,
the words I would throw
out there, I think

01:17:08.500 --> 01:17:12.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
she's the freedom word
is an excellent word
faith and family. You

01:17:12.600 --> 01:17:15.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
got to hit those. You
gotta have plausible
story to tell about those.

01:17:16.733 --> 01:17:20.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Talk about making your entrance.
This is Chuck Schumer making his

01:17:20.300 --> 01:17:23.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
way to the stage now. Let's
take a listen in to his remarks.

01:17:27.733 --> 01:17:32.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Now just let me hear
you if you're ready for
President Kamala Harris.

01:17:38.866 --> 01:17:42.466 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Friends We're here to
talk about one thing.

01:17:43.100 --> 01:17:43.766 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Tomorrow

01:17:45.133 --> 01:17:48.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And building a better
tomorrow for all Americans.

01:17:50.166 --> 01:17:54.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
This November we can
choose a brighter, a
fairer, a freer future,

01:17:55.566 --> 01:18:00.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
or We can relive the dark night
of Trump's American carnage.

01:18:05.333 --> 01:18:10.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Only one candidate will move
America forward. Kamala Harris.

01:18:13.333 --> 01:18:17.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Vice President Harris
has been the best
partner Senate Democrats

01:18:17.866 --> 01:18:22.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
could ever have asked
for. Under her under her
and President Biden's

01:18:24.566 --> 01:18:28.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
leadership. Senate
Democrats lowered
prescription drug prices.

01:18:29.866 --> 01:18:34.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And created millions, millions
of good paying American jobs.

01:18:37.866 --> 01:18:42.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I worked with Kamala Harris when
she was Senator Harris. I saw a

01:18:42.333 --> 01:18:47.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
leader who was fearless.
Who stood up for middle
class families like

01:18:49.166 --> 01:18:52.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
the one she was raised
in. Who focused on things
that really mattered.

01:18:55.266 --> 01:19:00.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Helping parents raise their
kids. Safe neighborhoods

01:19:02.100 --> 01:19:06.066 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
safe schools. And building
an opportunity economy
that gives everyone

01:19:07.766 --> 01:19:12.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
a shot at the American
dream. She will lead
America forward into

01:19:13.833 --> 01:19:18.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
a brighter future. But
she can't do it alone.
She needs a democratic

01:19:20.000 --> 01:19:24.400 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
majority in the Senate
of the United States.

01:19:28.866 --> 01:19:33.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Now my friends 2 years
ago. 2 years ago, The
naysayers said Senate

01:19:35.366 --> 01:19:39.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Democrats should stood no chance
in the midterms. I told them,

01:19:41.666 --> 01:19:45.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
just you wait. We're
going to keep the
Senate. And maybe pick up

01:19:45.533 --> 01:19:49.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
a seat or two and that's
exactly what happened.

01:19:51.500 --> 01:19:55.366 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
Well, ladies and
gentlemen, my good friends
at this convention, I

01:19:55.366 --> 01:20:00.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
am telling all of you
now we're going to hold
the Senate again and

01:20:00.266 --> 01:20:03.266 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
we're poised to pick up seats.

01:20:08.200 --> 01:20:13.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
A democratic majority
to create good paying
jobs and lower costs.

01:20:15.000 --> 01:20:18.733 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
To defend a woman's right
to choose. To deliver
for communities back

01:20:20.600 --> 01:20:25.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
home. Our senators are
doing it. Like Jackie
Rosen delivering high-speed

01:20:26.733 --> 01:20:31.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
rail for Nevada. John
Tester bringing high-tech
jobs to Montana.

01:20:35.533 --> 01:20:40.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And Bobby Casey and
Sherrod Brown and Tammy
Baldwin and Martin Heinrich

01:20:42.400 --> 01:20:46.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
fixing bridges in
Pennsylvania and Ohio and
Wisconsin and New Mexico.

01:20:51.133 --> 01:20:55.300 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
We also have amazing
candidates Ruben Gallego.

01:20:56.233 --> 01:20:59.400 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Angela also Brooks. Andy Kim.

01:21:00.633 --> 01:21:04.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Alyssa Slotkin. Lisa
Blunt, Rochester.

01:21:06.033 --> 01:21:09.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Colin Allred. Debbie
Muarzel Powell.

01:21:11.533 --> 01:21:15.266 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
And folks, listen to this
more than half of our
candidates, our candidates

01:21:16.666 --> 01:21:20.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
of color. We're making the
Senate look like America.

01:21:24.200 --> 01:21:27.800 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Now let's compare that
with Senate Republicans.

01:21:29.566 --> 01:21:33.466 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Senate Republicans Pretend
to care about middle
class families. But

01:21:35.266 --> 01:21:39.300 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
they voted no. On expanding
the child tax credit
and JD Vance didn't

01:21:40.200 --> 01:21:43.200 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
even show up to vote.

01:21:46.100 --> 01:21:50.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Senate Republicans pretend
to care about the border.

01:21:51.766 --> 01:21:55.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
But they voted no on
the strongest border
bill in a decade.

01:21:57.433 --> 01:22:01.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Republicans tend to care
about freedom. But they
voted no on a woman's

01:22:01.800 --> 01:22:06.800 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
right to choose. No,
to safeguard IVF.

01:22:08.266 --> 01:22:13.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
No to birth control. That
that is just a taste. Of their

01:22:15.366 --> 01:22:19.466 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
extreme agenda. Is that
what we want for America?

01:22:21.800 --> 01:22:26.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Do we want a Republican
Senate that assaults
reproductive freedoms.

01:22:27.666 --> 01:22:32.033 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Do we want a Republican
Senate that cuts taxes
for the rich, rigs

01:22:32.033 --> 01:22:37.033 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
the game for big oil and
big pharma. Well folks,
the choice is ours.

01:22:41.366 --> 01:22:46.366 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Now let me close. Let me
close on a personal note.

01:22:48.766 --> 01:22:53.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
As the highest ranking
Jewish elected official
in American history.

01:22:57.166 --> 01:23:02.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I want my grandkids and
all grandkids to never,
never face discrimination

01:23:05.200 --> 01:23:10.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
because of who they are.
But Donald Trump, this
is a guy who peddles

01:23:11.933 --> 01:23:15.333 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
anti-Semitic stereotypes.
He even invited a
white supremacist to

01:23:17.000 --> 01:23:21.566 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
Mar a Lago. And
unfortunately, His prejudice
goes in all directions.

01:23:24.200 --> 01:23:29.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
He fuels Islamophobia.
And issued a Muslim
ban as president.

01:23:32.566 --> 01:23:36.933 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Tonight, folks. I am
wearing this blue square.

01:23:37.833 --> 01:23:40.766 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
To stand up. To anti-Semitism.

01:23:41.500 --> 01:23:44.333 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
To stand up to all hate.

01:23:46.866 --> 01:23:51.800 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
Our children Our
grandchildren, no matter
their race, no matter their

01:23:51.800 --> 01:23:56.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
creed, their gender, or
family deserve better
than Donald Trump's

01:23:57.533 --> 01:24:00.566 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
American carnage.

01:24:02.566 --> 01:24:07.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Oh Are you ready to
make sure Donald Trump
never ever gets near the

01:24:09.033 --> 01:24:12.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
White House again. So let's
elect Kamala Harris, Tim Walls,

01:24:15.233 --> 01:24:20.166 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
and a Democratic majority
in the Senate and keep
the torch of freedom,

01:24:21.833 --> 01:24:25.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
burning bright for
generations to come on
to victory in November.

01:24:37.833 --> 01:24:42.833 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
Together we will
build what I call an
opportunity economy. I will

01:24:44.533 --> 01:24:49.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
take on the high costs
that matter most to
most Americans. Compare

01:24:50.900 --> 01:24:54.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
my plan with what Donald
Trump intends to do.
He wants to impose

01:24:54.400 --> 01:24:59.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
what is in effect a
national sales tax on
everyday products and basic

01:25:01.266 --> 01:25:04.833 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
necessities that we import
from other countries.
It will mean higher

01:25:04.833 --> 01:25:09.833 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
prices on just about
every one of your daily.
Donald Trump's plan

01:25:11.566 --> 01:25:14.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
would cost a typical
family, $3900 a year.
He wants to repeal the

01:25:16.800 --> 01:25:21.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Affordable Care Act,
which 45 million Americans
rely on for health

01:25:23.533 --> 01:25:26.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
care. He plans to give
billionaires massive tax
cuts year after year,

01:25:28.533 --> 01:25:31.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and he plans to cut
corporate taxes by over
$1 trillion that if you

01:25:33.633 --> 01:25:36.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
want to know who someone
cares about, look who
they fight for. We

01:25:36.400 --> 01:25:41.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
capped the price of
insulin. At $35 a month
and the total cost of

01:25:43.166 --> 01:25:46.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
prescription drugs at
$2000 a year for seniors,
and just yesterday

01:25:48.566 --> 01:25:52.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
we announced that we
are lowering the price
for 10 more life saving

01:25:53.733 --> 01:25:57.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
drugs. As president, I
will work to build the
housing we need, and

01:25:58.966 --> 01:26:02.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
by the end of my first
term, we will end
America's housing shortage

01:26:02.333 --> 01:26:06.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
by building 300 new homes
and rentals that are

01:26:07.766 --> 01:26:11.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
For the middle class, more than
100 million Americans will get a

01:26:11.366 --> 01:26:16.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
tax cut by restoring
the earned income tax
credit and the child tax

01:26:18.133 --> 01:26:22.233 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
credit through it.
Millions of Americans
with children got to keep

01:26:22.233 --> 01:26:27.233 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
more of their hard-earned
income. We will provide
$6000 in tax relief

01:26:28.966 --> 01:26:32.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to families during the
first year of a child's
life. Now is the time

01:26:32.600 --> 01:26:37.600 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
to chart a new way forward.
I will fight to give
money back to working

01:26:39.533 --> 01:26:43.000 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
and middle class Americans.
Increase the security
and stability financially

01:26:43.000 --> 01:26:48.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
of your family and
expand opportunity for
working and middle class

01:26:48.566 --> 01:26:51.200 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
Americans.

01:26:55.066 --> 01:26:58.933 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Please welcome Vermont
Senator Bernie Sanders.

01:27:11.300 --> 01:27:14.300 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
Thank you.

01:27:17.033 --> 01:27:20.033 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
Thank you.

01:27:22.066 --> 01:27:27.066 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
My fellow Americans.
It is an honor.

01:27:30.300 --> 01:27:33.400 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
It is an honor to
be with you tonight.

01:27:35.066 --> 01:27:39.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Because we're laying
the groundwork. For
Kamala Harris to become

01:27:40.066 --> 01:27:42.833 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
our next president.

01:27:46.000 --> 01:27:47.333 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
And let me

01:27:48.566 --> 01:27:52.300 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Let me tell you why
that is so important.

01:27:54.333 --> 01:27:59.100 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
I want you all to
remember. Where we were.

01:28:00.666 --> 01:28:04.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
3.5 years ago. We were in the
midst of the worst public health

01:28:07.133 --> 01:28:10.133 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
crisis in 100 years.

01:28:11.600 --> 01:28:16.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And the worst economic downturn.
Since the Great Depression.

01:28:18.200 --> 01:28:22.833 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
3000 Americans were
dying every day.

01:28:24.200 --> 01:28:29.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And our hospitals were
overwhelmed with COVID patients.

01:28:30.600 --> 01:28:35.600 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
All across the country
businesses were shutting down.

01:28:37.366 --> 01:28:41.700 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Unemployment was soaring.
Workers were losing
their health insurance.

01:28:43.666 --> 01:28:48.533 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Schools were closing state
and city budgets were
running out of money.

01:28:49.800 --> 01:28:53.666 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
People were being
evicted from their homes.

01:28:54.833 --> 01:28:58.800 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Children in America
were going hungry.

01:29:00.600 --> 01:29:05.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
That was the reality.
The Biden Harris
administration faced. As they

01:29:07.266 --> 01:29:12.266 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
entered the Oval Office.
A nation suffering.

01:29:13.933 --> 01:29:18.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
A nation frightened and
people looking to their
government for support.

01:29:22.833 --> 01:29:26.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And within 2 months
of taking office.

01:29:27.500 --> 01:29:30.633 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Our government did respond.

01:29:35.566 --> 01:29:40.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
We passed the American rescue
Plan which provided $1400 for

01:29:42.700 --> 01:29:46.900 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
every man, woman, and
child in the working class.

01:29:49.066 --> 01:29:53.466 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
We extended and expanded
benefits for the unemployed.

01:29:55.566 --> 01:30:00.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
We provided emergency
assistance for small
businesses to stay open.

01:30:03.733 --> 01:30:08.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
We guaranteed health
care coverage to tens
of millions of Americans

01:30:10.566 --> 01:30:15.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
through one of the
largest expansions of
Medicaid in history.

01:30:20.433 --> 01:30:25.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
We've provided rent
relief and mortgage
assistance which prevented

01:30:25.300 --> 01:30:30.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
tenants and homeowners
from being evicted.

01:30:31.900 --> 01:30:36.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
We established emergency
food programs for
hungry children and the

01:30:38.500 --> 01:30:42.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
elderly. And protected
the pensions of millions
of union workers

01:30:44.066 --> 01:30:49.033 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and retirees from being
slashed by up to 65%.

01:30:55.133 --> 01:31:00.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Oh, and by the way, We cut
childhood poverty by over 40%

01:31:02.100 --> 01:31:05.100 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
through an expanded
child tax credit.

01:31:07.666 --> 01:31:12.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Thank you, President
Biden. Thank you Vice
President Harris, thank

01:31:14.000 --> 01:31:17.000 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
you, Democratic Congress.

01:31:21.300 --> 01:31:26.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Now I say all of this. Not to
relive that difficult moment.

01:31:28.366 --> 01:31:31.966 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
But to make one simple point.

01:31:33.633 --> 01:31:38.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
When the political will
is there, government
can effectively deliver

01:31:40.966 --> 01:31:43.966 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
for the people of our country.

01:31:47.600 --> 01:31:52.533 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And now we need to
summon that will again.

01:31:54.233 --> 01:31:58.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Because too many. of
our fellow Americans
are struggling every day

01:32:00.966 --> 01:32:05.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
to just get by. To
put food on the table.

01:32:06.433 --> 01:32:09.833 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
To pay the rents and to get
the health care they need.

01:32:11.566 --> 01:32:16.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Brothers and sisters,
bottom line. We need
an economy that works

01:32:17.533 --> 01:32:21.700 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
for all of us, not just
the billionaire class.

01:32:27.433 --> 01:32:32.433 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
My fellow Americans. When
60% of our people live
paycheck to paycheck.

01:32:35.266 --> 01:32:40.266 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
The top 1%. have never
ever had it so good.

01:32:43.500 --> 01:32:47.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And these oligarchs,
these oligarchs tell us.

01:32:49.000 --> 01:32:52.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
We shouldn't tax the
rich. The oligarchs tell
us we shouldn't take

01:32:55.066 --> 01:33:00.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
on price gouging. We shouldn't
expand Medicare to cover dental,

01:33:02.600 --> 01:33:07.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
hearing, and vision. And
we shouldn't increase
Social Security benefits.

01:33:10.466 --> 01:33:15.466 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
For struggling seniors. Well

01:33:16.500 --> 01:33:19.833 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
I've got some. News for them.

01:33:24.700 --> 01:33:29.400 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
That is precisely what
we are going to do.

01:33:34.700 --> 01:33:39.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And we're going to win
this struggle. Because
this is precisely what

01:33:41.600 --> 01:33:45.666 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
the American people want
from their government.

01:33:49.300 --> 01:33:50.833 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
And my friends

01:33:51.866 --> 01:33:54.900 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
At the very top of
that to do list.

01:33:56.400 --> 01:34:00.833 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Is the need to get big money
out of our political process.

01:34:07.900 --> 01:34:12.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Billionaires In both parties
should not be able to buy

01:34:14.800 --> 01:34:18.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
elections including
primary elections.

01:34:23.966 --> 01:34:28.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
For the sake of our democracy.
We must overturn the disastrous

01:34:31.133 --> 01:34:34.433 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Citizens United
Supreme Court decision.

01:34:39.700 --> 01:34:44.066 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And move toward public
funding of elections.

01:34:47.066 --> 01:34:52.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And let me tell you what
else. We must do. We
need to join the rest

01:34:54.300 --> 01:34:59.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
of the industrialized
world and guarantee
health care to all people

01:35:00.400 --> 01:35:03.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
as a human right,
not a privilege.

01:35:06.966 --> 01:35:08.066 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
We need

01:35:09.433 --> 01:35:13.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
We need to raise the minimum
wage to a living wage.

01:35:17.566 --> 01:35:22.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
We need to pass the PRA. So that
workers can organize the union.

01:35:24.266 --> 01:35:24.400 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Oh

01:35:26.200 --> 01:35:30.233 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And gain the decent pay
and benefits they deserve.

01:35:31.433 --> 01:35:34.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
We need to strengthen
public education.

01:35:36.266 --> 01:35:41.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Raise teachers' salaries.
And make sure that every

01:35:43.733 --> 01:35:48.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
American regardless of
income, receives the
higher education, he

01:35:49.800 --> 01:35:52.800 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
or she needs.

01:35:55.900 --> 01:35:59.266 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
We need to take on big pharma.

01:36:01.666 --> 01:36:06.300 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And cut our prescription
drug costs in half.

01:36:09.200 --> 01:36:12.000 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
So that we no
longer pay any more

01:36:13.733 --> 01:36:17.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
than other countries.
Joe and Kamala made
sure that no senior in

01:36:18.966 --> 01:36:23.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
America pays over $35
a month for insulin.

01:36:25.833 --> 01:36:30.833 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
We need to make sure
that reality is true
for every American.

01:36:35.300 --> 01:36:40.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I look forward to working with
Camlin Tim to pass this agenda.

01:36:43.133 --> 01:36:48.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And let us be very clear.
This is not a radical agenda.

01:36:53.200 --> 01:36:54.866 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
But let me tell you

01:36:55.700 --> 01:36:59.100 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
what a radical agenda is.

01:37:00.266 --> 01:37:04.833 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And that is Trump's
project. 2025.

01:37:07.900 --> 01:37:12.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
At a time of mass
of income and wealth
inequality, giving more tax

01:37:14.733 --> 01:37:18.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
breaks to billionaires
is radical. Putting forth
budgets to cut Social

01:37:20.300 --> 01:37:24.166 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Security, Medicare, and
Medicaid is radical.

01:37:25.500 --> 01:37:29.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Letting polluters destroy
our planet is radical.

01:37:32.600 --> 01:37:37.166 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And my friends, we
won't let that happen.

01:37:42.300 --> 01:37:46.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Fellow Americans in
the last 3.5 years.

01:37:47.333 --> 01:37:52.066 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Working together. We
have accomplished more.

01:37:53.333 --> 01:37:57.166 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
than any government since FDR.

01:38:01.733 --> 01:38:04.300 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
But much, much more

01:38:06.033 --> 01:38:10.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
remains to be done. We
must summon the courage.
To stand up to wealth

01:38:12.100 --> 01:38:17.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and power. And deliver justice
for people at home and abroad.

01:38:23.033 --> 01:38:28.033 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Abroad. We must end this
horrific war in Gaza.

01:38:38.600 --> 01:38:43.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Bring home the hostages and
demand. Immediate ceasefire.

01:38:53.800 --> 01:38:57.566 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
At home. At home right here.

01:38:58.700 --> 01:39:03.166 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
We must take on
Big Pharma. Big oil

01:39:04.466 --> 01:39:05.366 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Big egg

01:39:06.600 --> 01:39:07.500 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Big tech

01:39:09.300 --> 01:39:13.933 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
And all the other corporate
monopolists whose greed
is denying progress

01:39:16.100 --> 01:39:21.100 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
for working people.
On November 5th.

01:39:22.666 --> 01:39:26.366 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Let us select Kamala
Harris as our president.

01:39:27.833 --> 01:39:32.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And let us go forward. To create
the nation. We know we can calm.

01:39:34.600 --> 01:39:37.600 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
Thank you all very much.

01:39:49.266 --> 01:39:52.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Well, as we saw earlier,
California has a prime
spot in this convention.

01:39:54.433 --> 01:39:55.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
It's the most populous state in
the country, and it is of course

01:39:55.966 --> 01:39:59.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
the home state of Kamala Harris,
and with us right now is another

01:39:59.766 --> 01:40:04.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
prominent Californian
that is Speaker Emerita
Nancy Pelosi. It is

01:40:04.466 --> 01:40:08.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
great to have you here
at the table with us.
My pleasure. Thank you

01:40:08.133 --> 01:40:11.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
for the exciting night.
I want to start with
President Biden's speech

01:40:11.766 --> 01:40:14.666 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
last night, his
valedictory speech where
he defended his record,

01:40:16.333 --> 01:40:19.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
he made the case for
Kamala Harris. not just
the nominee but for

01:40:19.700 --> 01:40:23.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
the country electing her
president, and he said
that he was stepping

01:40:23.200 --> 01:40:26.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
aside because he in his view had
become a distraction. He did not

01:40:26.533 --> 01:40:30.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
seem to accept or agree
with what some Democrats
had said that he

01:40:30.466 --> 01:40:35.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
could not win. Do you
agree with that? Well,
the president made his

01:40:37.133 --> 01:40:41.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
decision of whatever
basis and we accept that
and we respect that.

01:40:43.133 --> 01:40:46.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I myself thought we
needed a better campaign.
My whole thing that

01:40:46.100 --> 01:40:46.666 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
I'm a

01:40:48.433 --> 01:40:52.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
California Democratic
Party chair I know my
politics and I think

01:40:52.933 --> 01:40:55.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
when you want to win
an election, you decide
to win and you make

01:40:55.866 --> 01:41:00.833 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
every decision in favor
of winning. I didn't
see that pass. But there

01:41:02.333 --> 01:41:05.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
could be a path, and all we were
asking for, show us the path.

01:41:07.000 --> 01:41:10.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
When you look at that
path ahead, uh, and
we've heard many people

01:41:10.700 --> 01:41:14.666 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
talk about the continuing
impact and influence
that President Biden

01:41:14.666 --> 01:41:18.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
can have on the campaign moving
forward. Where do you see him

01:41:20.666 --> 01:41:23.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
being most useful? Can
you hear me OK? I know
it's really loud in

01:41:23.100 --> 01:41:27.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
this hall. What do I
think is most, where
do you think President

01:41:27.433 --> 01:41:32.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Biden can be most useful
states in particular
I think that what the

01:41:34.166 --> 01:41:37.200 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
launch that they
announced last week of the
prescription. Drug prices

01:41:37.200 --> 01:41:41.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
coming down what's very
important before that,
the freeing of the

01:41:42.966 --> 01:41:46.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
prisoners from overseas,
the issues that relate
to foreign policy.

01:41:48.200 --> 01:41:52.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
His friend, he is
masterful in that regard,
but also to talk about

01:41:54.300 --> 01:41:58.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
his own legacy. In terms of
where it's going to lead to.

01:42:00.300 --> 01:42:04.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Look at what he did, the
rescue package. The rescue
package was remarkable.

01:42:05.333 --> 01:42:08.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Child tax credit, pensions
for our union workers.

01:42:09.700 --> 01:42:12.600 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
resources into city
states and counties, etc.

01:42:14.300 --> 01:42:18.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Without one Republican
vote. The infrastructure
13 Republican votes.

01:42:20.366 --> 01:42:25.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
But just fabulous across
the board across our
country, and if it

01:42:25.266 --> 01:42:29.633 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
was really an infrastructure
bill that was a
climate bill as well.

01:42:31.400 --> 01:42:35.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
The chips and science
bill, that's not only
making us self-reliant

01:42:36.833 --> 01:42:40.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
on chips, but goes into
the future in terms of
science and STEM and

01:42:42.000 --> 01:42:46.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
all the rest of that.
The pack out for our
veterans, the IRA to save

01:42:47.900 --> 01:42:50.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
the planet, reduce the
cost of it. The list goes
on and on, but people

01:42:50.466 --> 01:42:54.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
don't know as much
about it as they should,
and much of it relates

01:42:54.533 --> 01:42:58.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to their kitchen table,
so I think he can be a
voice with that, but

01:42:58.533 --> 01:43:03.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
it's all of that. No.
votes for you because
what you have done. They

01:43:05.166 --> 01:43:07.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
want to know what you're
doing next as we have
discussed. So it's

01:43:07.666 --> 01:43:12.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
what about What comes
next and what comes next
is a lot of our agenda

01:43:14.366 --> 01:43:18.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
that is um connected to
this, but it's a care
economy agenda, and

01:43:19.800 --> 01:43:24.633 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
he knows it very well.
This president has a
vision. He has values.

01:43:26.333 --> 01:43:28.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
He has knowledge of the
issues. He has empathy
in his heart. He has

01:43:28.866 --> 01:43:33.266 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
strategic thinking about
how this all would get done.

01:43:34.966 --> 01:43:38.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
For what we did and also
for what we will do.
So I don't think he'll

01:43:38.166 --> 01:43:41.166 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
be a great messenger
on the values.

01:43:42.900 --> 01:43:46.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Caring economy as well
as the foreign policy
issues at the same time,

01:43:48.533 --> 01:43:50.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
your assessment that
you thought you needed a
better Democrats needed

01:43:50.566 --> 01:43:53.400 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
a better campaign. What's
your assessment then
of this campaign and

01:43:53.400 --> 01:43:57.866 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
the Harris Wall's ability
to win states like
Pennsylvania, Michigan,

01:43:59.333 --> 01:44:01.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Wisconsin, and even potentially
Arizona and Nevada. Because this

01:44:01.066 --> 01:44:05.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
is still a tight race. as I say,
I always say to every candidate,

01:44:06.966 --> 01:44:09.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
be yourself. You go out
there, be yourself, do
your thing, and we'll

01:44:09.100 --> 01:44:14.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
help with. The three M's
on the ground mobilization
to own the ground

01:44:16.333 --> 01:44:20.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
because all of the rest
of us is a conversation
unless you get out

01:44:20.166 --> 01:44:22.433 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
your vote. Early

01:44:23.566 --> 01:44:26.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Get out your book.
Message has to be.

01:44:27.100 --> 01:44:29.033 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
Progressive and

01:44:29.566 --> 01:44:29.700 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
and um

01:44:31.366 --> 01:44:35.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Bold but non menacing.
We need a unifying
message for America. You

01:44:36.866 --> 01:44:41.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
need a unifying message for
America. Mobilization message.

01:44:42.533 --> 01:44:45.733 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
The money to get the
job done, but that Has,

01:44:47.200 --> 01:44:49.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
especially in the last few weeks
has just been flowing in at the

01:44:49.533 --> 01:44:54.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
small dollar level you
have, you just have to
do your campaign. It's

01:44:55.433 --> 01:44:56.766 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
a campaign. It's a battle term

01:44:58.500 --> 01:45:00.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
campaign. You have to
go out there and fight.
You have to work. It's

01:45:00.733 --> 01:45:05.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
going to be close. I today my
speeches I was using the um

01:45:06.933 --> 01:45:11.300 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Olympics as a metaphor,
gold, silver, bronze,

01:45:13.066 --> 01:45:17.333 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
honored to be an Olympian
within a second, or
half a second. So these

01:45:17.333 --> 01:45:20.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
are close races, and
you have to go in

01:45:22.000 --> 01:45:25.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to do everything because
you have to have no wasted
time, no underutilized

01:45:27.533 --> 01:45:29.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
resources and no regrets
the day after the
election that you could

01:45:29.933 --> 01:45:34.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
have done more, get out
the boat or Messaging
or whatever it takes.

01:45:36.766 --> 01:45:40.800 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
So I think the
candidates, especially
for president of the house

01:45:40.800 --> 01:45:45.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
we gonna the president,
they know. She's been
vice president. She's

01:45:47.466 --> 01:45:51.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
been part of this great
legacy of Biden Harris.
Now we have to check

01:45:53.066 --> 01:45:55.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
what's next on this
matter. Excuse me, sorry,
on this matter of picking

01:45:55.966 --> 01:45:58.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
the right candidate when
Vice President Kamala
Harris was settling

01:45:58.933 --> 01:46:01.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
on who would be her
running mate. I was told
by a number of people

01:46:01.700 --> 01:46:05.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
that Tim Walls was your pick. Oh
no, no, I love them all. I said

01:46:05.600 --> 01:46:09.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
put the names in a hat,
pick one out. They're
all great. You can't

01:46:09.333 --> 01:46:12.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
make a mistake. I ask
what you saw in him
that you might not see

01:46:12.466 --> 01:46:15.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
other people plenty
in him. That's why I
thought. could be in the

01:46:15.300 --> 01:46:20.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
hat. He, he is fabulous.
I served 12 years with
him in the Congress.

01:46:21.766 --> 01:46:24.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And when he ran the first time,
it was 006. This is when we were

01:46:24.733 --> 01:46:29.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
out to win the house
and, and we did. And so
he had a terrible dis,

01:46:31.533 --> 01:46:36.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
there were those who
thought perhaps we should
move on, but he was

01:46:36.166 --> 01:46:40.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
so great. He was so
great. He and his wife are
such a great candidates.

01:46:40.833 --> 01:46:40.966 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
So

01:46:42.266 --> 01:46:46.366 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
he turned a very red
district blue. Came there

01:46:48.233 --> 01:46:51.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Bravely voted for the
Affordable Care Act, despite
the misrepresentations

01:46:51.800 --> 01:46:55.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
that Republicans were
putting out there and
went home and won again,

01:46:56.833 --> 01:47:00.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
came back to Congress,
came a champion on
veterans' issues when it

01:47:00.166 --> 01:47:03.633 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
became the top Democrat
on the committee, the
members loved him.

01:47:05.366 --> 01:47:08.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
They respect him. He's
so fabulous. They were
organizing for them

01:47:08.466 --> 01:47:12.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
within minutes of his
being named, Madam
Speaker, we should also

01:47:12.733 --> 01:47:16.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
say that we have Judy
Woodruff joining our
conversation seated next

01:47:16.400 --> 01:47:20.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to you. I know you two
have known each other
for a very long time

01:47:20.300 --> 01:47:24.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
on your own career
paths, of course, but
I wonder if we can take

01:47:24.800 --> 01:47:28.066 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
politics out of this
for just a moment and.

01:47:29.833 --> 01:47:33.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Take a moment to reflect
on what we're seeing here.
Democrat or Republican,

01:47:34.800 --> 01:47:37.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
we once again as a
country are on the cusp
of putting a woman in

01:47:37.133 --> 01:47:41.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
the highest office in the land.
And I would love for each of you

01:47:41.033 --> 01:47:44.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
if you don't mind to
reflect on that, on what
it took to get here,

01:47:46.200 --> 01:47:48.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
you navigating your
path in politics, Judy,
you navigating yours,

01:47:50.066 --> 01:47:53.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
covering politics and
and how we arrived here
what this moment means.

01:47:55.033 --> 01:47:57.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I can hear him better
than I can hear you, but
I think, I think maybe

01:47:57.900 --> 01:47:59.700 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Judy's seated next
to you can help

01:48:01.933 --> 01:48:06.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
isn't Governor Pritzker
wonderful and the great
weather he arranged.

01:48:09.433 --> 01:48:14.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
One question I actually
would like to put to you
is, is you had dealings

01:48:14.100 --> 01:48:17.466 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
with Kamala Harris, maybe
as district attorney
in San Francisco,

01:48:19.166 --> 01:48:21.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Attorney General of
California and then as
a senator, what do you,

01:48:23.233 --> 01:48:25.433 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
what can you tell us about
her leadership style?
Is there, and people

01:48:25.433 --> 01:48:29.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
are going to make a big deal or
not about whether she's a woman,

01:48:30.766 --> 01:48:33.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
is that a factor here
or not? I don't think
I'm not when I ran for

01:48:33.933 --> 01:48:37.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Speaker, I said don't
vote for me because
I'm a woman, but don't

01:48:37.133 --> 01:48:41.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
vote against me because
I'm a woman. I want
you to know that I can

01:48:41.066 --> 01:48:44.700 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
get this job done, and
that's what I If I make

01:48:47.100 --> 01:48:49.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
transfer that. This is not about
electing a woman president. This

01:48:49.700 --> 01:48:54.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
is about electing the
best, strongest person
and I know her very

01:48:54.466 --> 01:48:59.466 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
well. I know her
personally as a person of
of deep faith, who cares

01:49:00.866 --> 01:49:03.733 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
about the community and
demonstrated that all the time.

01:49:05.233 --> 01:49:09.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I know we officially as a person
very strong in her knowledge.

01:49:11.000 --> 01:49:14.933 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And her eloquence in
talking about it as well

01:49:16.633 --> 01:49:20.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
politically, she's very
astute to win those
races was not easy in

01:49:22.466 --> 01:49:26.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
California for district
attorney, attorney
General, then Senate,

01:49:28.200 --> 01:49:31.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
she had a race all the time, but
you saw and then Vice President

01:49:31.133 --> 01:49:35.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
was, well, that's the
president's election,
but you saw how with

01:49:35.333 --> 01:49:39.300 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
grace and dignity
she came out of that.

01:49:41.066 --> 01:49:43.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Announcement of the
president with his support.
That's a big deal,

01:49:45.433 --> 01:49:47.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
but nonetheless clear
the debt because there
was still room for people

01:49:47.400 --> 01:49:52.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
to get in. But she settled
the matter early so

01:49:54.533 --> 01:49:59.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
she has her own style
about listening, learning,
and um respecting

01:50:01.600 --> 01:50:06.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
views and and you know
all of this is about
the temperament of the

01:50:06.466 --> 01:50:09.000 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
person, and she has a beautiful

01:50:10.733 --> 01:50:14.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
temperament to be
president. That is strong,
respectful. Values based

01:50:16.433 --> 01:50:20.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
visionary. Uh, I, I'm,
I'm very excited about
it and I said to the

01:50:20.666 --> 01:50:24.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
women's groups all day
I'm speaking to groups.
I said the most of

01:50:24.133 --> 01:50:29.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
those groups today. I had a
large number of women there.

01:50:30.500 --> 01:50:34.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I'm not here to ask you to elect
the next woman President of the

01:50:34.533 --> 01:50:39.000 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
United States. I'm asking
you to vote for Kamala
Harris for President

01:50:39.000 --> 01:50:43.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
of the United States
because I think that she
has what is leadership

01:50:43.566 --> 01:50:48.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
require vision, knowledge,
judgment, strategic thinking,

01:50:50.033 --> 01:50:54.433 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and a heart full of empathy for
the people. Joe Biden has a, she

01:50:54.433 --> 01:50:59.033 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
has that, that's what
they had in common.
Yeah, she, uh, if we have

01:50:59.033 --> 01:51:03.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
time, she, you In your
book about how early on
when you came to Congress

01:51:03.766 --> 01:51:08.433 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
and you were interested in
moving up in leadership.
Some of the guys

01:51:08.433 --> 01:51:12.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
said to you, well, it's
not really your turn,
and these guys, some

01:51:12.066 --> 01:51:15.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
of them were Democrats, in fact,
all of them were Democrats.

01:51:17.566 --> 01:51:20.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
So what kind of, is
there, is there that
kind of resistance that

01:51:20.800 --> 01:51:24.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
she's going to face
anywhere in the party
in the country right now

01:51:24.433 --> 01:51:28.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
because she's a woman,
as you faced a few
decades ago when I ran,

01:51:29.700 --> 01:51:31.866 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
they said, imagine this
is in this century.

01:51:33.533 --> 01:51:38.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Who said she could run?
Light my fire, you poor
baby. You think I'm

01:51:39.533 --> 01:51:42.033 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
waiting around for you
to get a run. Anyway.

01:51:44.933 --> 01:51:49.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Here's how I see it.
Hillary Clinton was the
best qualified person

01:51:49.900 --> 01:51:54.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to run for president
in a generation. Better
than her husband, better

01:51:56.566 --> 01:51:58.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
than Obama, and he
admits that certainly
better than George Bush.

01:52:00.133 --> 01:52:02.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I haven't asked him
that, but nonetheless,
the best qualified. It

01:52:02.300 --> 01:52:06.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
didn't happen. It was
a heartbreak to us
people, I don't think had

01:52:06.400 --> 01:52:10.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
the full grasp of what the
opposition was, but nonetheless,

01:52:11.533 --> 01:52:12.533 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
And she wants

01:52:14.233 --> 01:52:18.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
We know what he is now,
right? We know what he
is now. But Hillary,

01:52:20.166 --> 01:52:23.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
although she didn't win
the election, she won
the campaign. She took

01:52:23.300 --> 01:52:27.233 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
women all the way down
the field. I always
thought there'd be a woman

01:52:27.233 --> 01:52:30.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
president long before there'd
be a woman speaker because

01:52:31.966 --> 01:52:35.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Who said she could run,
but I ran anyway and
won and and then when

01:52:35.733 --> 01:52:39.633 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Hillary didn't win, I
was very disappointed,
but Hillary's election

01:52:41.400 --> 01:52:45.300 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
or that campaign, I think,
has been a trailblazer
for Kamala Harris.

01:52:47.700 --> 01:52:52.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
separated by years, generation,
all the rest, but nonetheless.

01:52:54.100 --> 01:52:59.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I don't think that
there's sufficient there
are those who are never

01:53:00.600 --> 01:53:04.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
vote for a woman, but we're not
waiting for never to happen.

01:53:05.866 --> 01:53:08.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
We we're doing this
right now. I think it's,
I think it has, well,

01:53:10.233 --> 01:53:12.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
if we didn't think we could win
with Kamala Harris. Do you think

01:53:12.500 --> 01:53:16.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
we would put her up
against Somebody that
should never set foot in

01:53:16.600 --> 01:53:18.900 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
the White House again, even for

01:53:19.766 --> 01:53:22.700 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
I don't know what a cupcake.

01:53:26.300 --> 01:53:29.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I spoke with uh Gary
Peters, who chairs the
Senate Democratic campaign

01:53:29.966 --> 01:53:34.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
arm and he said he's
confident that Democrats
can pick up. 50 seats

01:53:34.133 --> 01:53:38.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
in the Senate, maybe
even 51. Do you care to
issue a prediction of

01:53:38.566 --> 01:53:41.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
how you think Democrats
are going to do in terms
of the House races,

01:53:43.100 --> 01:53:46.166 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
yeah. Oh yeah, I'm, I'm
looking for a trifecta.

01:53:47.933 --> 01:53:51.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I'm looking to win the
White House, Chuck to
be the majority leader

01:53:51.366 --> 01:53:56.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Takeem Jeffries to be
the Speaker of the House.
It must happen that

01:53:56.133 --> 01:54:01.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
way. And this think of January
6th, if I didn't have the gavel.

01:54:02.366 --> 01:54:05.600 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Hakim must have
the gavel that day.

01:54:07.266 --> 01:54:10.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Kamala will be the
vice president, but we
fully intend to win the

01:54:10.400 --> 01:54:13.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
White House. I was just
in Michigan last week
at the invitation of

01:54:13.366 --> 01:54:18.333 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
the governor. Our candidate
for Senate there is
Way ahead, take nothing

01:54:18.333 --> 01:54:22.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
for granted. We think
we can pick up a seat
there and hold what we

01:54:22.166 --> 01:54:26.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
have, uh, I, I made
a prediction today

01:54:27.666 --> 01:54:31.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to our hunt, that would
be. He said maybe you
can win 5. I said,

01:54:32.966 --> 01:54:36.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I want 10. He said, Is that your
prediction? I said, I want 10 at

01:54:36.033 --> 01:54:40.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
least. We want 31 when
we won and win. Now
remember, in the last

01:54:40.900 --> 01:54:44.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
election they said we were
going to lose 30 or 40 seats.

01:54:46.300 --> 01:54:48.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
What? I, they didn't
know what they were
talking about. We would,

01:54:50.000 --> 01:54:53.200 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
we know our, we're different
from the president.
We're very discreet.

01:54:54.133 --> 01:54:55.000 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
This isn't just a

01:54:56.700 --> 01:55:00.833 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Reptilian. Cold blooded.
These are the races
we have to win. Others

01:55:01.966 --> 01:55:03.533 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
are winning the whole country

01:55:05.266 --> 01:55:09.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
10. Where do you pick
up 10 seats if, if I
can ask? Well, I think

01:55:09.000 --> 01:55:13.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
we can pick up a chunk
in New York because
we lost 5 last time, 5

01:55:13.000 --> 01:55:16.200 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
in New York. We've already
picked up one there.
We can do something

01:55:16.200 --> 01:55:21.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
in California like this
we're 40 Democrats, 12
Republicans. I'd like

01:55:22.900 --> 01:55:25.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to take them down to
single digits. And then
we have seats all over

01:55:25.300 --> 01:55:30.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
them. We have, we have
fabulous what we call
red to blue. Candidates

01:55:30.900 --> 01:55:32.433 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
and they are um

01:55:33.900 --> 01:55:38.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Courageous and brave and out
there and again strategic.

01:55:40.066 --> 01:55:44.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Informed knowledgeable
in there, so. Oh, she's
wonderful. I former

01:55:45.933 --> 01:55:50.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
House member and that
is, of course, New
Mexico Governor Michelle

01:55:50.066 --> 01:55:53.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Lujan Grisham, we're
going to take our audience
to be able to listen

01:55:53.500 --> 01:55:56.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to what she has to
say, but Speaker Emerta
Nancy Pelosi, thank you

01:55:56.900 --> 01:55:59.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
so much for coming by. Always a
pleasure to have you here. Thank

01:55:59.500 --> 01:56:04.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
you. We are fired up to
elect Kamala Harris president

01:56:06.933 --> 01:56:09.933 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
of the United States.

01:56:14.066 --> 01:56:18.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
This election is about
protecting our democracy
and securing our

01:56:18.766 --> 01:56:23.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
freedoms, including the right to
affordable quality health care.

01:56:28.533 --> 01:56:33.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Now this issue is
personal to Vice President
Harris. whose mom passed

01:56:35.266 --> 01:56:39.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
away after a battle
with colon cancer. And
it's personal to me at

01:56:40.766 --> 01:56:45.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
2 years old, my sister
was diagnosed with a
tumor that was incurable

01:56:46.500 --> 01:56:51.300 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and made her uninsurable
by the time she was 3.

01:56:53.066 --> 01:56:56.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And it's personal to
Americans across the
country who know what it's

01:56:56.700 --> 01:57:00.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
like when someone
they love gets sick.

01:57:01.833 --> 01:57:05.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Donald Trump and JD
Vance want to dismantle
our health care system

01:57:07.666 --> 01:57:11.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
repeal the Affordable
Care Act and eliminate
protections for preexisting

01:57:12.933 --> 01:57:17.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
conditions. Either these guys
don't get it or they just

01:57:20.166 --> 01:57:25.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
don't care. You know who gets
it? Kamala Harris gets it

01:57:27.700 --> 01:57:30.700 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
and she cares.

01:57:34.466 --> 01:57:39.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
As Attorney general she
took on drug companies
that jacked up prices

01:57:41.133 --> 01:57:45.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and hospitals that
overcharge patients and
when Republicans tried

01:57:47.000 --> 01:57:50.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to kill the Affordable
Care Act. She stood up
in the Senate voting

01:57:51.666 --> 01:57:54.200 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
not just no but hell no.

01:57:59.400 --> 01:58:04.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And Kamala Harris hasn't
just stopped Republicans
from making our

01:58:05.900 --> 01:58:10.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
health care system worse. She
fights every day to make it.

01:58:14.766 --> 01:58:19.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And I know I spent 20
years working to get
Medicare, the ability

01:58:21.433 --> 01:58:25.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to negotiate lower drug
prices as vice president
Kamala Harris delivered

01:58:27.600 --> 01:58:30.600 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
it.

01:58:32.766 --> 01:58:37.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
You know what Donald
Trump delivered. Junk
plans, higher premiums,

01:58:38.866 --> 01:58:41.866 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
and abortion bans.

01:58:44.100 --> 01:58:48.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And if you don't think. A
second term would be worse.

01:58:50.300 --> 01:58:53.300 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Then I've got a box of
Trump steaks to sell you.

01:58:57.366 --> 01:59:00.833 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
We have not just
a better choice.

01:59:01.766 --> 01:59:04.433 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
America, we have
the best choice.

01:59:07.566 --> 01:59:08.633 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
Yes we do

01:59:10.233 --> 01:59:14.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Kamala Harris will protect
your right to care.

01:59:16.566 --> 01:59:20.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
She'll cap drug costs.
She'll go after corporate
price gougers and

01:59:22.466 --> 01:59:25.833 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
ensure every woman who
needs it can access
reproductive health care.

01:59:33.333 --> 01:59:38.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
That's the president
I want. And that's the
president, America needs

01:59:40.133 --> 01:59:44.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and with your help,
that's the next president
of the United States.

01:59:49.000 --> 01:59:49.433 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
President

01:59:50.633 --> 01:59:53.633 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
Kamala Harris.

02:00:10.433 --> 02:00:13.433 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
I love you too. Yeah.

02:00:15.733 --> 02:00:16.333 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
So

02:00:17.433 --> 02:00:20.766 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
My mom like Kamala's
mom got sick.

02:00:21.966 --> 02:00:25.933 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
When my mom died in
2021, Kamala called me.

02:00:27.100 --> 02:00:30.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
She had lost her mother
to cancer in 2009.

02:00:31.466 --> 02:00:35.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Kamala helped me navigate
my grief. She said

02:00:36.766 --> 02:00:40.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
That heartbreak and loss are
the price for having loved.

02:00:41.100 --> 02:00:44.500 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
And having been
loved. How I wish.

02:00:45.833 --> 02:00:49.300 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Our mothers could be
here. To see this moment.

02:00:55.500 --> 02:01:00.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
In the next 4 years.
America will invariably
have moments of great

02:01:01.966 --> 02:01:06.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
sadness and pain in our country.
Some will be natural disasters.

02:01:08.266 --> 02:01:12.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Some will be man-made disasters.
We need a president who can not

02:01:12.066 --> 02:01:17.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
only be commander in
chief but also consoler in
chief we need a president

02:01:18.800 --> 02:01:23.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
with empathy capable
of lifting us up when
we are down. We need a

02:01:24.833 --> 02:01:29.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
president who is capable
of holding us in a.
Big great hug when we

02:01:30.433 --> 02:01:35.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
need it that is Kamala
Harris. Donald Trump

02:01:36.733 --> 02:01:41.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Donald Trump It's only
capable of holding two
things a grudge and

02:01:42.566 --> 02:01:45.566 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
a golf club.

02:02:00.233 --> 02:02:02.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I remember when Cama
was first running for
district attorney and

02:02:02.666 --> 02:02:05.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
people were like, oh,
I don't know if she's
tough enough and I just

02:02:05.966 --> 02:02:09.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
had to laugh because I'm like,
you don't know my sister.

02:02:13.333 --> 02:02:18.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Kamala had been a. Hard
and tough prosecutor in
Alameda County prosecuting

02:02:19.933 --> 02:02:24.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
men who were pimping young girls
and rapists commonwealth wanted

02:02:24.333 --> 02:02:29.333 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
to make sure that murderers
and child abusers face
meaningful accountability

02:02:31.700 --> 02:02:36.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and consequences for
those actions. One of
the cases that she had

02:02:36.500 --> 02:02:41.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
early in her career was
where a man had scalped
his girlfriend and

02:02:43.200 --> 02:02:47.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
she ended up getting
a conviction, getting
just for that woman. She

02:02:48.600 --> 02:02:50.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
came to San Francisco to protect
victims, and she was elected to

02:02:50.633 --> 02:02:54.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
be district attorney
of San Francisco. Kamla
knew that we needed

02:02:54.966 --> 02:02:59.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
to be smart on crime and if hell
no one else was gonna do it that

02:02:59.266 --> 02:03:02.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
she was gonna do it. I'm
gonna keep my promise
to you to keep you

02:03:02.400 --> 02:03:06.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
safe. I better talk
with you about what I'm
doing in terms of crime

02:03:06.500 --> 02:03:11.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
prevention. Investing
in people coming out
of prisons is the smart

02:03:12.866 --> 02:03:14.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
thing to do for law enforcement.
Forget that it's just the right

02:03:14.800 --> 02:03:19.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
thing to do. I was a
young Kamala Harris.
She's only gotten more

02:03:19.366 --> 02:03:23.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
fierce. I've never seen her back
down from a fight, and when she

02:03:23.100 --> 02:03:28.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
fights she wins. When
Kamala became Attorney
general, she wanted

02:03:29.833 --> 02:03:33.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to protect people, but
also to fundamentally
pursue justice being

02:03:35.333 --> 02:03:40.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
smart on crime starts
with being tough on
violent crime. a statewide

02:03:42.033 --> 02:03:45.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
perspective, I think we
were concerned about the
rise of gang violence

02:03:45.700 --> 02:03:49.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
in San Joaquin County.
We saw this tremendous
change in our community

02:03:49.566 --> 02:03:54.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and it hit us like a
wave. We saw an increase
in human trafficking,

02:03:55.866 --> 02:03:59.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
narcotics, and guns. Let
it be clear to anyone
who would menace this

02:04:01.000 --> 02:04:04.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
state with violence to
those who prey on the
weak and the vulnerable

02:04:06.033 --> 02:04:08.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
justice will be swift
and certain in the
state of California.

02:04:10.600 --> 02:04:14.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
She was always hunting
the kingpins, but we
didn't have partnerships

02:04:14.066 --> 02:04:19.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
with DOJ or FBI or DEA
or any of those law
enforcement agencies now

02:04:20.733 --> 02:04:25.033 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
we all work collaboratively
to help all the
counties in California.

02:04:26.800 --> 02:04:30.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Because of her, we
destabilized organized
crime, disrupt these flows

02:04:30.666 --> 02:04:35.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
of guns, human beings,
and narcotics. We are
here this afternoon

02:04:35.100 --> 02:04:40.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to announce the shutting
down of one of the
biggest and most organized

02:04:41.866 --> 02:04:45.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
threats to the safety
of the Central Valley.
I really think of her

02:04:45.000 --> 02:04:50.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
as fearless, as a
fighter. Kamala just
perseveres and mommy would

02:04:51.666 --> 02:04:55.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
say it's too hard is
never an excuse. Making
excuses is a failure

02:04:55.700 --> 02:04:58.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
to not only take responsibility
but to take action.

02:05:00.600 --> 02:05:04.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
If you have the will,
the desire, the passion,
the commitment. There

02:05:05.500 --> 02:05:08.100 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
is no challenge that
is insurmountable.

02:05:13.533 --> 02:05:18.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Please welcome the
Democratic nominee for
Senate in Maryland, Angela

02:05:18.166 --> 02:05:21.166 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
also Brooks.

02:05:26.066 --> 02:05:29.733 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Good evening America. And he

02:05:31.566 --> 02:05:32.066 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
And

02:05:35.166 --> 02:05:36.166 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Like me

02:05:37.966 --> 02:05:41.400 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Thank you. People like me.

02:05:43.133 --> 02:05:47.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Stories Like mine. Don't
usually make it to the
United States Senate.

02:05:49.400 --> 02:05:54.300 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
But they should. I'm
the proud Granddaughter

02:05:55.200 --> 02:05:57.933 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Of a housekeeper. Sarah Daisy.

02:05:59.433 --> 02:06:03.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Who raised her three children
in a one bedroom apartment.

02:06:04.466 --> 02:06:08.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
It was her dream to work in
government. To help people

02:06:10.033 --> 02:06:14.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
That meant taking a typing test.
But she didn't know how to type.

02:06:16.000 --> 02:06:20.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And she couldn't afford
a typewriter. So She
put a white piece of

02:06:21.500 --> 02:06:25.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
paper. On the refrigerator.
And drew a keyboard on it.

02:06:27.300 --> 02:06:31.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And every night she
stood in front of that
refrigerator and taught

02:06:32.300 --> 02:06:36.866 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
herself to type.
She took the test.

02:06:37.800 --> 02:06:38.766 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
Passed it

02:06:40.133 --> 02:06:44.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And got the job she dreamed
of. I And her legacy.

02:06:48.966 --> 02:06:49.866 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
And tonight

02:06:51.533 --> 02:06:55.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I am a candidate for
United States Senate
from the great state of

02:06:56.000 --> 02:06:58.600 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
Maryland.

02:07:02.800 --> 02:07:07.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Always been inspired by
women like my grandmother.
Women who imagine

02:07:09.300 --> 02:07:12.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
a better future and then have
the grit. To make it a reality.

02:07:14.366 --> 02:07:18.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
One of those women is a
friend. A mentor And a
role model. That woman

02:07:21.166 --> 02:07:24.166 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
is Kamala Harris.

02:07:26.266 --> 02:07:31.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Let me tell you. About
the Kamala I've known
for 14 years. I first

02:07:32.733 --> 02:07:36.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
heard about her in 2009. When I
was running for state's attorney

02:07:36.566 --> 02:07:41.566 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
in Prince George's
County, Maryland. To

02:07:43.200 --> 02:07:47.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
In Essence magazine
about a district
attorney in San Francisco

02:07:48.733 --> 02:07:51.833 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
using new ideas to keep
her community safe.

02:07:53.500 --> 02:07:57.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Few had a better record
prosecuting violent
crime. She put rapists,

02:07:58.800 --> 02:08:01.366 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
child molesters and
murderers behind bars.

02:08:03.133 --> 02:08:06.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
But what she knew was
that violent crime
accounts for about 30% of

02:08:06.900 --> 02:08:11.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
all crimes. For the
70% that are nonviolent
she created a first of

02:08:13.500 --> 02:08:17.100 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
its kind program
called Back on Track.

02:08:18.833 --> 02:08:23.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
After serving time and
pleading guilty. These
low level of Fenders

02:08:25.133 --> 02:08:29.100 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
will get the job
training. GED health. And
apprenticeships they needed

02:08:29.933 --> 02:08:34.166 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
to find a job. The result

02:08:35.833 --> 02:08:40.233 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
The recidivism rate
plummeted. Now after
reading about this super

02:08:42.000 --> 02:08:45.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
bad district attorney.
Talk nonstop about her
on the campaign trail.

02:08:47.666 --> 02:08:52.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Two days after I won
the election, my phone
rings. It's Kamala Harris

02:08:54.100 --> 02:08:57.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
calling to congratulate me
and ask how she could help.

02:09:00.333 --> 02:09:04.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
She helped me bring. Back
on track to Maryland.

02:09:05.966 --> 02:09:09.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And wouldn't you know
a crime went down. And
economic growth went

02:09:09.266 --> 02:09:14.033 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
up. Back on track is
now a national model.

02:09:16.300 --> 02:09:16.833 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Now

02:09:18.533 --> 02:09:22.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Now Donald Trump says.
If Kamala Harris is
elected tough guys will

02:09:24.100 --> 02:09:28.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
treat her like a play toy. Do
you know Who else thought that?

02:09:30.700 --> 02:09:35.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
The drug cartels she busted. The
big oil company she may pay for

02:09:35.600 --> 02:09:40.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
polluting. The big banks
that she may pay $20
billion to homeowners

02:09:42.866 --> 02:09:47.400 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
they ripped off. Getting
justice for others.

02:09:48.766 --> 02:09:51.933 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Isn't a power trip for
her. It's a sacred calling.

02:09:53.666 --> 02:09:57.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And hear me Kamala
Harris knows how to keep
criminals off the streets.

02:10:02.600 --> 02:10:07.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And come November. With
your help She'll keep
one out of the Oval

02:10:08.866 --> 02:10:11.866 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Office.

02:10:15.100 --> 02:10:15.266 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
It

02:10:16.066 --> 02:10:17.133 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
Donald Trump

02:10:18.966 --> 02:10:22.733 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Rode down that ridiculous
escalator. We as a
nation have felt trapped.

02:10:25.333 --> 02:10:30.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Every national decision
has been made in
reaction to this one man.

02:10:31.733 --> 02:10:36.066 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And his extremist maga
movement. We are still frozen.

02:10:37.566 --> 02:10:42.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
By the fear That Donald Trump
might once again come to power.

02:10:43.900 --> 02:10:48.633 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And it's not just our
politics that have been
trapped. It's our imagination.

02:10:50.400 --> 02:10:54.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And then Kamala came
along. Kamala Has
reminded us. That we don't

02:10:56.933 --> 02:10:59.166 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
need to fear. Anything

02:11:00.433 --> 02:11:04.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Not the future. And
certainly not that man.

02:11:04.933 --> 02:11:05.566 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
This

02:11:07.333 --> 02:11:11.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
is our Moment To leave
Donald Trump where he
belongs. In America's

02:11:13.700 --> 02:11:18.700 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
past. We stand with
Kamala Harris because we.

02:11:21.166 --> 02:11:25.066 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
As a country are
not. Going back.

02:11:30.933 --> 02:11:35.300 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Who sat at lunch counters
and made sure that
we all had the right

02:11:35.300 --> 02:11:38.866 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
to vote. We are not. Going back

02:11:40.600 --> 02:11:44.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
But the and grandmamas
who marched to make
sure that women could

02:11:44.900 --> 02:11:49.900 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
control our own bodies
we. are not Going

02:11:51.633 --> 02:11:56.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
For the parents who
work from can't see in
the morning until can't

02:11:56.100 --> 02:12:01.033 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
see at night, not so
that they will have a
better future, but so

02:12:01.033 --> 02:12:06.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
that their children will have
a better life we are not. Going

02:12:09.800 --> 02:12:14.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
When facing an obstacle. My
father has often said to me,

02:12:15.800 --> 02:12:19.566 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Your faith Is stronger
than your fears.

02:12:20.566 --> 02:12:21.366 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Tonight

02:12:22.466 --> 02:12:26.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Our faith Is stronger
than our fears.

02:12:27.700 --> 02:12:31.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Faith and the promise
of America faith in the
American idea in the

02:12:33.333 --> 02:12:37.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
American American values that we
share, faith that we the people

02:12:37.500 --> 02:12:42.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
can choose a new leader, a
better future for The people.

02:12:45.966 --> 02:12:50.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
It's dark as our days
and challenges have
sometimes felt. It's always

02:12:52.433 --> 02:12:57.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
darkest before the dawn. We know
that we can endure for at night

02:12:59.033 --> 02:13:02.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
because joy cometh
in the morning.

02:13:04.000 --> 02:13:04.600 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Morning

02:13:05.933 --> 02:13:10.566 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
It's coming. Morning is
coming. And that joy will be

02:13:12.700 --> 02:13:16.833 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
led. Kamala Harris,
thank you so much.

02:13:29.900 --> 02:13:34.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Please welcome Mesa
Arizona Mayor John Giles.

02:13:35.866 --> 02:13:37.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Angela Albrooks, who's
running for the Maryland
Senate seat. Let's

02:13:37.733 --> 02:13:42.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
head down to the floor
where our La Baron Lopez
is. Laura, you with

02:13:42.166 --> 02:13:45.833 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
us? Yes, I'm here with
you, Jeff. So one of
the things we've been

02:13:45.833 --> 02:13:49.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
talking about up here
is that all of the
energy and enthusiasm in

02:13:49.300 --> 02:13:52.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
this room, the momentum
that the Harris campaign
has really across

02:13:52.466 --> 02:13:55.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
the country, it risks
masking the fact that this
is still a competitive

02:13:55.766 --> 02:13:58.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
race. It's still a tight race.
I know you've been talking

02:13:59.733 --> 02:14:01.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to Democratic operatives
about that very thing.
What are they telling

02:14:01.666 --> 02:14:05.266 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
you? Yeah, it is definitely
a tight race. I was
just talking to Ken

02:14:05.266 --> 02:14:10.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Martin. He is the head
of the Democratic State
Party chairs coalition.

02:14:12.000 --> 02:14:13.833 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
He's also the chair
of the Minnesota State
Democrats, and he was

02:14:13.833 --> 02:14:17.500 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
telling me that Democrats
need to make sure that
they don't do what

02:14:17.500 --> 02:14:20.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
they did in 2016, which was that
when they left the convention in

02:14:20.700 --> 02:14:24.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
2016 after nominating
Hillary Clinton, he
said they just started

02:14:24.200 --> 02:14:27.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
measuring the drapes
for the Oval Office and
that they can't do that

02:14:27.500 --> 02:14:32.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
this time around. He
also told me that he
feels as though this the

02:14:34.300 --> 02:14:36.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
way the energy that he
is feeling from Democrats
and the electrification

02:14:36.600 --> 02:14:39.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
that he is feeling from
Democrats and motivation
across the board,

02:14:40.900 --> 02:14:43.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
he said that it's bigger
than 2008 with Obama,
but Jeff, if I could

02:14:43.766 --> 02:14:47.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
bring in, I do have a
Delegate here with me
from the swing state

02:14:47.166 --> 02:14:50.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
of Georgia. If you could come in
here with me and tell me what's

02:14:50.333 --> 02:14:53.033 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
your name again? My
name is Parker Short.
I'm the chairman of the

02:14:53.033 --> 02:14:56.200 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Young Democrats of Georgia
and a delegate from
Georgia's 4th congressional

02:14:56.200 --> 02:15:00.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
district. And could you
just tell me, I mean,
do you, how has the

02:15:00.133 --> 02:15:02.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
energy changed on the
ground in Georgia?
Look, I've been involved

02:15:02.800 --> 02:15:06.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
in Georgia politics
since I was 15. My first
job was as an intern

02:15:06.000 --> 02:15:09.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
for John Ossoff's
congressional campaign,
so I think I know Georgia

02:15:09.533 --> 02:15:12.833 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
politics even though
I'm a young man. I have
seen a lot, and I will

02:15:12.833 --> 02:15:16.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
tell you the energy on
the ground is absolutely
incomparable Georgia

02:15:16.900 --> 02:15:20.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Democrats are fired up.
And ready to go. We know
how much is at stake

02:15:20.933 --> 02:15:23.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
in abortion rights
are on the ballot and
we're ready to make the

02:15:23.733 --> 02:15:28.400 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
change, can you just tell
me, I mean, do you feel
as though was Georgia

02:15:28.400 --> 02:15:31.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
slipping away when
President Biden was still
at the top of the ticket

02:15:31.366 --> 02:15:33.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
because there was some
concern from Democrats
that they were going

02:15:33.966 --> 02:15:38.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to potentially lose
Georgia. Do you think
that now it's winnable.

02:15:39.933 --> 02:15:41.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Oh, I think it's more
than winnable. I'm
ready to put in the work

02:15:41.466 --> 02:15:44.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and we've got more than 20 field
offices open across the state of

02:15:44.700 --> 02:15:48.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Georgia for the Harris
campaign, and I know
the organizers, I know.

02:15:50.033 --> 02:15:51.833 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
running this party and
we're going to put the
work in. We're going

02:15:51.833 --> 02:15:53.833 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to knock these doors,
we're going to talk to
these voters, and we're

02:15:53.833 --> 02:15:57.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
going to make it very
clear that Georgia, as
we did in 2020, saving

02:15:57.800 --> 02:16:01.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
democracy, supporting President
Biden's agenda. We want a better

02:16:01.333 --> 02:16:04.233 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
future for Georgia, and
I know we're going to
realize it on November

02:16:04.233 --> 02:16:08.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
5th. So as you heard
there, Jeff, I mean
they're pretty energized

02:16:08.466 --> 02:16:12.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
in Georgia as well as
Democrats are trying to
really make sure that

02:16:12.700 --> 02:16:16.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
they're expanding the pathway
of 270 with Harris. Laura,

02:16:18.433 --> 02:16:19.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
thank you to Parker for Joining
you there we can let him go back

02:16:19.966 --> 02:16:22.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and enjoy the festivity. Sounds
like he's losing his voice maybe

02:16:22.766 --> 02:16:26.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
from participating in
some of the cheering
out here say Parker is

02:16:26.800 --> 02:16:31.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
a is a viral star. He
became famous for a
few days, uh, for, for

02:16:33.266 --> 02:16:35.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
dancing in the, in the stands of
a Harris rally that was captured

02:16:35.300 --> 02:16:38.966 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
on PBS News stream. Turned
out he was the chair
of the Young Democrats

02:16:38.966 --> 02:16:41.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
of Georgia. I'm sorry,
I'm gonna go ahead.
No, not at all. In case

02:16:41.700 --> 02:16:44.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
he's familiar to many of you,
uh, viewers back at home.

02:16:46.466 --> 02:16:48.233 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Laura, what else stands
out to you from some
of the speakers we've

02:16:48.233 --> 02:16:51.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
heard on the stage
tonight there's been a
range of voices there,

02:16:52.766 --> 02:16:55.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
of course, a progressive
leader and Senator
Bernie Sanders as well.

02:16:57.100 --> 02:16:58.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Have you been hearing
from your Democratic
sources about how many

02:16:58.933 --> 02:17:03.100 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
of those more progressive
policies they feel
like the Harris Walls

02:17:03.100 --> 02:17:07.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
ticket can take on or
whether they need to run
a more centrist moderate

02:17:07.400 --> 02:17:10.233 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
campaign to appeal to
some of the independent
voters they need as

02:17:10.233 --> 02:17:12.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
well. Well, the thing
that I've been hearing
from the Democrats I've

02:17:12.900 --> 02:17:16.633 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
been talking to, whether
it was Ken Martin of
Minnesota or a state

02:17:16.633 --> 02:17:19.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
representative from Georgia, Sam
Park, or as well as Tom Swazi,

02:17:21.433 --> 02:17:22.866 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
congressman from New York,
who won a competitive
district there.

02:17:24.600 --> 02:17:27.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
They think that Harris
essentially build upon
what President Biden

02:17:29.633 --> 02:17:33.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
was able to do during
his time in office that
she should just expand

02:17:33.466 --> 02:17:37.833 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
more when it comes to
elder care, when it
comes to childcare. And

02:17:37.833 --> 02:17:41.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I think that we have
Tammy Duckworth coming
on the stage, so I'm

02:17:41.766 --> 02:17:45.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
going to toss it back
to you, Jeff phenomenon.
She is indeed Senator

02:17:45.133 --> 02:17:48.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Tammy Duckworth from Illinois
now speaking. Let's listen in.

02:17:57.266 --> 02:17:57.800 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
You know

02:18:02.300 --> 02:18:03.200 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
You know

02:18:05.133 --> 02:18:09.600 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
I went to war to protect
America's rights and freedoms.

02:18:11.366 --> 02:18:15.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
So I take it personally
when a 5 time draft
dodging coward like Donald

02:18:17.666 --> 02:18:19.500 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
Trump tries to take. way

02:18:24.700 --> 02:18:29.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
To take away my rights
and freedoms in return.
Especially when it

02:18:29.400 --> 02:18:34.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
concerns my daughters. My
girls Gamer girl Abigail.

02:18:35.800 --> 02:18:39.133 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
And queen of the
monkey bars Miley. Our

02:18:40.866 --> 02:18:44.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
everything to me. But
they would never have
been born without access

02:18:45.466 --> 02:18:48.466 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
to reproductive care.

02:18:51.700 --> 02:18:52.466 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Because

02:18:54.200 --> 02:18:58.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
After 10 years of
struggling with infertility.
I was only able to

02:19:00.300 --> 02:19:04.166 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
have them through
the miracle of IVF.

02:19:08.133 --> 02:19:08.933 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
But now

02:19:10.600 --> 02:19:15.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Trump's anti-woman
crusade has put other
Americans right to have

02:19:16.466 --> 02:19:20.100 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
their own families at
risk. Because if they win.

02:19:21.400 --> 02:19:24.033 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Republicans will not
stop at banning abortion.

02:19:24.900 --> 02:19:27.866 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
They will come for IVF next.

02:19:29.333 --> 02:19:33.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
They'll prosecute doctors. They
all shame and spy on women.

02:19:36.833 --> 02:19:41.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And if you think.
That's farfetched. Just
looked up what happened

02:19:41.566 --> 02:19:46.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
in Alabama last year. So let me
say to every would-be parent.

02:19:48.700 --> 02:19:52.166 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
I see you. I'm with you.

02:19:53.866 --> 02:19:58.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And together In November
We'll send a message to
old Cadet Bone spurs.

02:20:07.566 --> 02:20:12.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Stay Of our doctor's
offices and where you
are at it out of the Oval

02:20:13.166 --> 02:20:16.066 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
Office too.

02:20:19.900 --> 02:20:20.400 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Look

02:20:22.200 --> 02:20:26.200 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
My struggle with infertility
was more painful than
any wound I earned

02:20:27.900 --> 02:20:32.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
on the battlefield. So
how dare a convicted
felon like Donald Trump

02:20:34.100 --> 02:20:37.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
treat women seeking
health care like they're
the ones breaking the

02:20:37.600 --> 02:20:40.166 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
law. How dare

02:20:41.666 --> 02:20:45.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
JD Vance criticized childless
women on cable news then.

02:20:47.866 --> 02:20:52.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Then vote against
legislation that would have
actually helped Americans

02:20:53.033 --> 02:20:55.333 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
to start families.

02:20:58.000 --> 02:21:02.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Dare the GOP endangered
the dreams of countless
veterans whose combat

02:21:04.266 --> 02:21:07.833 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
wounds prevent them from
having kids without IVF.

02:21:09.166 --> 02:21:12.533 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Punishing our heroes for
their willingness to serve.

02:21:14.200 --> 02:21:18.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
It's simple. Every
American deserves the
right to be called mommy

02:21:20.966 --> 02:21:24.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
or daddy without being
treated like a criminal.

02:21:29.000 --> 02:21:29.133 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
I'm

02:21:30.800 --> 02:21:34.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Harris believes that.
So let's make some
history and elect her in

02:21:35.533 --> 02:21:38.366 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
November. God bless America.

02:21:43.566 --> 02:21:46.566 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
They'll come to us.

02:21:54.000 --> 02:21:58.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Senator Tammy Duckworth.
of Illinois wrapping
up her remarks there.

02:22:00.733 --> 02:22:03.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Course retired from the
Army National Guard as
a lieutenant colonel

02:22:03.600 --> 02:22:08.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and has been a vocal
advocate for the Harris
Walls campaign and we're

02:22:08.300 --> 02:22:12.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
about to hear from
what I would say easily
billed as the headliners

02:22:12.966 --> 02:22:16.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
for the evening. The
second gentleman, Doug
Emhoff, will be speaking

02:22:16.133 --> 02:22:20.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
shortly. We'll bring
you his remarks in just
a moment, but we're

02:22:20.366 --> 02:22:24.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
still here with our
panel. Amy Walter, Judy
Woodruff, David Brooks,

02:22:26.133 --> 02:22:28.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and Jonathan Capehart.
Guys, this program is
moving along, I'd say

02:22:28.366 --> 02:22:32.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
at a faster clip than last
night's. Fact check true,

02:22:34.266 --> 02:22:36.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
but we've heard from a
range of voices. David,
just reflect for a

02:22:36.600 --> 02:22:38.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
moment on what we've
been hearing so far,
some of these messages,

02:22:40.333 --> 02:22:42.200 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
a mix of both Republicans
and Democrats, speaking
on behalf of the

02:22:42.200 --> 02:22:46.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
ticket tonight. Well,
I mean the goal tonight
is to fill in the vision

02:22:46.000 --> 02:22:48.533 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
for the future, the vision
for growth, and I've
especially been paying

02:22:48.533 --> 02:22:51.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
attention to economic
policy and there hasn't
been much of it. There's

02:22:51.566 --> 02:22:54.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
been a lot of abortion
rights, but there was
one video up there,

02:22:56.466 --> 02:22:58.833 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
well, it wasn't even a
speech, it was a video
of her domestic it

02:22:58.833 --> 02:23:02.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
was claimed to be the
economic. Policy part
of the speech, but it

02:23:02.333 --> 02:23:06.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
had the prescription
drugs, housing subsidies,
child tax credit.

02:23:07.966 --> 02:23:09.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Those are good policies
or bad policies, but
they're not economic

02:23:09.733 --> 02:23:13.633 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
policies. Conference
board says the economy
is going to slow to 0.6%

02:23:13.633 --> 02:23:18.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
growth in quarter 3 and flatline
in Q4, which could mean a pretty

02:23:18.466 --> 02:23:19.800 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
sour economic environment

02:23:21.466 --> 02:23:24.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
for the incumbent
party in the fall. She
better have an economic

02:23:24.066 --> 02:23:27.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
policy to talk about,
and so far that's a gap.
She's got 2 more days

02:23:27.366 --> 02:23:30.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
obviously to do that and
then a whole campaign,
but There's got to

02:23:30.733 --> 02:23:34.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
be something about jobs,
about growth, about inflation,
about productivity,

02:23:36.600 --> 02:23:38.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
the normal economic
issue. What about that
Jonathan? Yeah, because

02:23:38.966 --> 02:23:42.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
President Biden is part
of his social spending
plan, spent trillions

02:23:42.666 --> 02:23:45.300 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
of dollars. You can argue
the merits of whether
or not those policies

02:23:45.300 --> 02:23:48.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
were, were necessary,
but it, it, where does
Kamala Harris go after

02:23:48.666 --> 02:23:51.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
that? How do you spend trillions
more potentially without making

02:23:51.133 --> 02:23:54.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
inflation worse just
as Democrats are trying
to get a handle on it.

02:23:56.000 --> 02:23:59.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
This is where I will
agree with David up to
a point. We do need to

02:24:01.266 --> 02:24:03.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
know we need we do need the vice
president to fill in these gaps

02:24:03.700 --> 02:24:07.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to tell us what her
economic policy is. I
don't think she, I mean,

02:24:09.700 --> 02:24:12.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
if she doesn't do it by
Thursday. I'm glad you
said she has the campaign

02:24:12.366 --> 02:24:17.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to do it. There's a lot
of gaps and policy holes
that the vice president

02:24:17.200 --> 02:24:21.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
will have to fill so
that the American people
know where she wants

02:24:21.133 --> 02:24:25.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
to take the country beyond
what we already know,

02:24:26.766 --> 02:24:29.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
but I'm not clear. I'm
not an economist. Clearly
I'm not as worried

02:24:29.933 --> 02:24:33.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
about her economic
policy as David is.

02:24:34.733 --> 02:24:37.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I have a little more
faith and trust in her
and the people around

02:24:37.166 --> 02:24:41.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
her, but David is right, we need
to know what it is. Amy, to that

02:24:41.300 --> 02:24:44.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
point, we know the
economy remains the number
one issue for voters.

02:24:46.400 --> 02:24:48.233 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
There's only so much
they can control. I
should note we're going

02:24:48.233 --> 02:24:50.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to keep an eye on the
stage here and have to
go to the Amha family

02:24:50.266 --> 02:24:53.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
when they come up, but
what's your view on
how people are feeling

02:24:53.100 --> 02:24:56.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
about that right now?
Yeah, I mean what we're
seeing is voters aren't

02:24:56.900 --> 02:25:01.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
any more optimistic
today about the economy,
even though inflation

02:25:01.333 --> 02:25:05.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
continues to tick down, they're
basing it on how prices looked.

02:25:06.833 --> 02:25:10.033 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
4 years ago, more so
than what it is now,
and here we go, here we

02:25:10.033 --> 02:25:14.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
go indeed back to the
stage now we believe Cole
Mhoff, Kamala Harris's

02:25:14.933 --> 02:25:19.400 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
stepson is now top
the stage. Doug Emhoff

02:25:48.666 --> 02:25:48.800 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
You

02:25:54.333 --> 02:25:57.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I guess he didn't want me to
give this speech. He just.

02:25:59.266 --> 02:26:02.566 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Thank you, thank
you so much. Hello.

02:26:03.833 --> 02:26:04.666 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
Thank you

02:26:08.800 --> 02:26:13.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Hello to my big, beautiful
blended family up there.

02:26:17.266 --> 02:26:20.366 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
So Aren't you
proud of Cole? Wow.

02:26:22.766 --> 02:26:27.100 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Special shout out to
my mother. I see you.

02:26:28.800 --> 02:26:32.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
My mother is the only
person in the whole
world who thinks Kamala

02:26:32.766 --> 02:26:37.766 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
is the lucky one for
marrying me. Yeah

02:26:39.466 --> 02:26:43.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And to Kamala who, well,
we just saw where she
is. She's out on the

02:26:43.800 --> 02:26:48.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
trail listening to and
talking with voters.
Jaime I can't wait for

02:26:50.600 --> 02:26:53.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
you to come back to
Chicago because we're
having a great time here.

02:26:58.666 --> 02:27:03.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I love you so much. I'm
so proud of how you're
stepping up for all

02:27:05.466 --> 02:27:10.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
of us. But that's who
she is. Wherever she's
needed, however she's

02:27:12.200 --> 02:27:16.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
needed, Kamala rises to
the occasion. And she
did it for me and our

02:27:18.233 --> 02:27:21.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
family. And now that
the country needs her,
she's showing you what

02:27:21.666 --> 02:27:25.800 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
we already know.
She's ready to lead.

02:27:29.000 --> 02:27:33.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
She brings both joy
and toughness to this
task, and she will be a

02:27:33.966 --> 02:27:37.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
great president. We
will all be proud of.

02:27:41.800 --> 02:27:46.100 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Now I'm the son of two
Brooklynites. Mike and Barb

02:27:47.566 --> 02:27:52.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
They've been together almost 70
years. My dad worked in the shoe

02:27:53.700 --> 02:27:57.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
business in Manhattan.
And he moved our family
out to New Jersey.

02:27:58.633 --> 02:28:01.666 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Where's New Jersey? See you

02:28:03.166 --> 02:28:06.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
When I was a little kid.
And in a lot of ways.

02:28:08.200 --> 02:28:11.066 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
I had a typical Jersey
suburban childhood.

02:28:12.533 --> 02:28:16.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I biked around the neighborhood.
I took the bus to Hebrew school.

02:28:17.766 --> 02:28:21.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And I rode to Little
League practice in the
way back of my coaches

02:28:21.333 --> 02:28:26.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
wood paneled station wagon. And
if we did well, we got to have a

02:28:28.066 --> 02:28:31.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
slurpee after. In my
neighborhood, everyone
left their garage door

02:28:33.633 --> 02:28:37.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
open. Wherever you
ended up at dinner time,
that's the family that

02:28:37.300 --> 02:28:41.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
fed you. Everyone took
care of everyone else.

02:28:42.633 --> 02:28:45.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And the guys I grew up with
are still my best friends.

02:28:47.500 --> 02:28:50.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
The group chat is active
every day and it's
probably blowing up right

02:28:50.566 --> 02:28:53.566 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
now guys.

02:28:55.300 --> 02:28:58.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Well my dad had to get
a new job, we moved
across the country to

02:28:58.200 --> 02:29:01.866 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
LA. Money was tight.
hey California.

02:29:04.000 --> 02:29:04.133 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
My

02:29:07.300 --> 02:29:11.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Money was tight, so I
worked at McDonald's
in high school for some

02:29:11.400 --> 02:29:16.033 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
extra cash. Not only was
I employee of the month.

02:29:17.700 --> 02:29:21.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
But I still have the
frame picture which
you just saw. And there

02:29:21.000 --> 02:29:26.000 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
was a ring, golden arches
and all. And then I
waited tables, parked

02:29:27.466 --> 02:29:31.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
cars. I was working full time so
I could afford to go to college

02:29:31.333 --> 02:29:36.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
part-time. And thanks to. Thanks
to partial scholarships, student

02:29:38.100 --> 02:29:40.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
loans, and a little
help from my dad. I got
myself through law school

02:29:41.966 --> 02:29:44.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and I got my first
job as a lawyer.

02:29:47.733 --> 02:29:52.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Which is also where
I met the guys in my
fantasy football league.

02:29:53.833 --> 02:29:58.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And uh A lot has changed
in our lives since
the early 90s, but my

02:29:59.533 --> 02:30:03.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
team name is still Nirvana.
Um Yes, after the ban.

02:30:04.933 --> 02:30:09.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Uh, I worked hard and
I love being a lawyer,
and by the way, I still

02:30:11.633 --> 02:30:14.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
get to be part of the
profession by teaching
students at Georgetown

02:30:14.000 --> 02:30:19.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Law School. I got married.
Became a dad to Colin Ella.

02:30:22.066 --> 02:30:26.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Unfortunately, I went
through a divorce. But
eventually started worrying

02:30:26.466 --> 02:30:31.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
about how I would make
it all work. And that's
when something unexpected

02:30:32.966 --> 02:30:36.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
happened. In 2013, I walked into
a contentious client meeting.

02:30:39.066 --> 02:30:42.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
We work through the issue and by
the end of the meeting, the now

02:30:42.300 --> 02:30:46.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
happy client. Offered to
set me up on a blind date.

02:30:48.233 --> 02:30:52.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Which is how I ended up with
Kamala Harris's phone number.

02:30:55.800 --> 02:31:00.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Now For generations. People have
debated when to call the person

02:31:02.566 --> 02:31:07.366 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
you're being set up with.
And never in history
has anyone suggested

02:31:09.266 --> 02:31:10.566 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
8:30 a.m.

02:31:13.533 --> 02:31:14.333 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
And yet

02:31:16.033 --> 02:31:20.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
That's when I dialed. I
got Kamala's voicemail
and I just started.

02:31:22.966 --> 02:31:23.633 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Rambling

02:31:25.266 --> 02:31:30.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Hey, it's Doug. I'm on my
way to an early meeting.

02:31:33.266 --> 02:31:38.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Again, it's Doug. I
remember I was trying
to grab the words out of

02:31:39.966 --> 02:31:43.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
the air and just put
them back in my mouth.
And for what seemed like

02:31:43.266 --> 02:31:48.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
far too many minutes I
hung up. By the way, Kamala
saved that voicemail.

02:31:51.166 --> 02:31:54.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And she makes me listen to
it on every anniversary.

02:31:59.100 --> 02:32:03.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
But that message wasn't the only
unusual thing about that day.

02:32:05.200 --> 02:32:07.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Now Kamala, who normally
would have been working
hard at her office,

02:32:09.466 --> 02:32:11.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I just happened to be
waiting at her apartment
for a contractor to

02:32:11.266 --> 02:32:15.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
do some work on her
kitchen. I was eating at
my desk, which was not

02:32:15.700 --> 02:32:19.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
a regular occurrence for a busy
lawyer like me who appreciated a

02:32:19.766 --> 02:32:24.366 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
good business lunch. But
that's when she called me back.

02:32:25.866 --> 02:32:29.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And we talked for an hour and
we laughed. You know that laugh?

02:32:30.400 --> 02:32:33.233 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
I love that laugh.

02:32:37.233 --> 02:32:41.933 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And Maybe. That counted
as our first date.

02:32:43.666 --> 02:32:46.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Or maybe it was that
Saturday night when I
picked her up and told

02:32:46.866 --> 02:32:51.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
her. Buckle up, I'm a
really bad driver. Because
you can't hide anything

02:32:53.333 --> 02:32:57.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
from Kamala Harris, so you might
as well own it. And as I got to

02:32:58.933 --> 02:33:02.266 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
know her better. And
just fell in love fast.

02:33:04.033 --> 02:33:08.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I learned what drives
Kamala. And it's what
you've seen over these

02:33:10.133 --> 02:33:13.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
past 4 years and especially
these past 4 weeks.

02:33:14.466 --> 02:33:18.166 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
She finds joy in
pursuing justice.

02:33:19.700 --> 02:33:22.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
She stands up to bullies just
like my parents taught me to.

02:33:24.066 --> 02:33:26.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And she likes to see
people do well. But hates
when they're treated

02:33:26.900 --> 02:33:31.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
unfairly. She believes
this work requires a
basic curiosity and just

02:33:33.200 --> 02:33:36.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
how people are doing. Her
empathy is her strength.

02:33:41.666 --> 02:33:46.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Over the past decade,
Kama has connected me
more deeply to my faith.

02:33:48.366 --> 02:33:51.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Even though it's not
the same as hers. She
comes to synagogue with

02:33:51.066 --> 02:33:55.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
me for high holiday
services and I go to
church with her for Easter.

02:33:57.233 --> 02:34:01.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I get to enjoy her mom's
chili relleno recipe
every Christmas and

02:34:01.266 --> 02:34:06.266 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
she makes a mean
brisket for Passover. It
brings me right back to

02:34:07.933 --> 02:34:10.233 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
my grandmother's
apartment in Brooklyn, you
know, the one with the

02:34:10.233 --> 02:34:15.233 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
plastic covered couches.
McCammala has fought
against anti-Semitism

02:34:17.300 --> 02:34:22.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and all forms of hate
her whole career. She is
the one who encouraged

02:34:24.033 --> 02:34:28.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
me as second gentleman
to take up that fight,
which is so personal

02:34:28.133 --> 02:34:33.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to me. And those of you
who belong to blended
families know that

02:34:34.800 --> 02:34:38.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
they can be a little
complicated. But as
soon as our kids started

02:34:39.866 --> 02:34:42.400 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
calling her Mamala.
I knew we'd be OK.

02:34:43.733 --> 02:34:47.833 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Ella Ella calls us a
three-headed parenting machine.

02:34:49.133 --> 02:34:53.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Kala and Kirsten. Thank
you both. Thank you both.

02:34:55.466 --> 02:34:59.166 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
We're always In your
family and the kids first.

02:35:01.000 --> 02:35:04.733 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Now Colin Ellis's friends
knew that when they
come over for Sunday

02:35:04.733 --> 02:35:09.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
dinner with Mamala, it was gonna
be real talk. In between taking

02:35:09.400 --> 02:35:13.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
cooking instructions
they'd have to answer
questions about what problem

02:35:13.066 --> 02:35:17.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
they wanted to solve in
the world. They learned
that you've always

02:35:17.166 --> 02:35:21.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
got to be prepared because Kama
is going to prosecute the case.

02:35:23.466 --> 02:35:27.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And in the same breath
that Colin Greenley
told us that they were

02:35:27.566 --> 02:35:32.033 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
engaged. They ask Kamala
to officiate their wedding.

02:35:33.533 --> 02:35:37.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And in the same way that she
always steps up when it matters.

02:35:38.833 --> 02:35:41.600 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Kamala puts so much
time into those remarks.

02:35:43.100 --> 02:35:46.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And she bound them in a book.
That matched her dark red dress.

02:35:47.700 --> 02:35:50.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And then turn that into a
gift for the happy couple.

02:35:53.400 --> 02:35:58.233 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
A few days ago. During
this incredible time
we're going through,

02:35:59.933 --> 02:36:03.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
there was a brief window
when Kama was back at
home. And I saw her

02:36:03.100 --> 02:36:06.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
sitting on her favorite
chair. And in the
middle of a wild month,

02:36:08.333 --> 02:36:11.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I just hoped that she
was having a quiet moment
to herself. But then

02:36:11.466 --> 02:36:15.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I realized she was on the phone
and of course my my mind went to

02:36:15.600 --> 02:36:19.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
all the potential crises
that the vice president
could be dealing

02:36:19.066 --> 02:36:24.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
with was it domestic?
Was it foreign? Was it
campaign. I could see

02:36:25.733 --> 02:36:29.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
she was focused and all
I knew was that it must
be something important.

02:36:30.966 --> 02:36:33.933 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And it turns out it was.
Ella had called her.

02:36:35.733 --> 02:36:39.300 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
That's Kamala. That's Kamala.

02:36:41.100 --> 02:36:46.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Those kids are hard priorities,
and that scene was a perfect map

02:36:47.800 --> 02:36:51.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
of her heart. She's
always been there for
our children, and I know

02:36:52.666 --> 02:36:54.800 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
she'll always be
there for yours too.

02:36:58.766 --> 02:37:03.766 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Hama is a joyful warrior.
It's doing for her
country what she has

02:37:05.466 --> 02:37:09.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
always done for the
people that she loves
her passion will benefit

02:37:09.566 --> 02:37:12.566 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
all of us when
she's our president.

02:37:15.400 --> 02:37:20.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And here's the thing
about joyful warriors.
There's still warriors

02:37:22.233 --> 02:37:25.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and Kamala is as tough
as it comes. Just ask
the criminals, the global

02:37:27.366 --> 02:37:29.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
gangsters, and the
witnesses before the Senate
Judiciary Committee.

02:37:31.466 --> 02:37:35.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
She never runs from a
fight. And she knows the
best way to deal with

02:37:35.766 --> 02:37:40.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
a coward is to take him
head on because we all
know cowards are weak

02:37:42.466 --> 02:37:46.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and Kamala Harris can
smell weakness. She
doesn't tolerate any BS.

02:37:48.000 --> 02:37:51.833 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
You've all seen that
look and you know that
look I'm talking about.

02:37:53.566 --> 02:37:56.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
That look is not just
a meme, it reflects our
true belief in honest

02:37:56.433 --> 02:38:01.033 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and direct leadership
and it's also why she
will not be distracted

02:38:01.033 --> 02:38:06.033 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
by nonsense. Pamela knows
that in order to win
we cannot lose focus.

02:38:08.133 --> 02:38:13.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
America In this election
you have to decide
who to trust with your

02:38:14.566 --> 02:38:17.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
family's future. I trusted
Kamala with our family's future.

02:38:19.033 --> 02:38:22.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
It was the best decision
I ever made. This
Thursday will be our 10th

02:38:24.266 --> 02:38:27.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
wedding anniversary. Which I
know, I know it means I'm about

02:38:29.900 --> 02:38:34.866 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
to hear that embarrassing
voicemail again,
however, That's not all

02:38:34.866 --> 02:38:39.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I'll be hearing. That
same night I'll be hearing
my wife Kamala Harris,

02:38:41.166 --> 02:38:44.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
except your nomination for
President of the United.

02:38:44.933 --> 02:38:45.066 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
S

02:38:47.400 --> 02:38:47.700 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Your

02:38:48.466 --> 02:38:49.033 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
She will

02:38:50.700 --> 02:38:54.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Joy Toughness with that
laugh and that. Look
with compassion and

02:38:56.233 --> 02:38:59.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
conviction, she'll lead
from the belief that
wherever we come from,

02:39:01.600 --> 02:39:04.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
whatever we look like
we're strongest when we
fight for what we believe

02:39:04.100 --> 02:39:07.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
in, not just against
what we fear.

02:39:08.800 --> 02:39:12.833 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Pamela Harris was
exactly the right person
for me at an important

02:39:14.600 --> 02:39:17.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
moment in my life. And
at this moment in our
nation's history, she

02:39:17.733 --> 02:39:21.900 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
is exactly the right
president. Thank you so much.

02:39:58.433 --> 02:40:02.066 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Please welcome former
First Lady Michelle Obama.

02:41:22.233 --> 02:41:26.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Something wonderfully magical
is in the air, isn't it?

02:41:30.333 --> 02:41:34.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And now we're feeling
here in this arena,
but it's spreading all

02:41:34.533 --> 02:41:39.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
across this country we
love. A familiar feeling
that's been buried

02:41:41.033 --> 02:41:45.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
too deep for far too long. You
know what I'm talking about.

02:41:48.466 --> 02:41:51.666 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
The contagious power of hope.

02:41:56.333 --> 02:42:01.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
The anticipation. The
energy, the exhilaration
of once again being

02:42:02.966 --> 02:42:07.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
on the cusp. Of a
brighter day. The chance
To vanquish the demons

02:42:09.533 --> 02:42:14.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
of fear, division and
hate that have consumed
us and continue pursuing

02:42:16.400 --> 02:42:21.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
the unfinished promise
of this great nation. The
dream that our parents

02:42:22.733 --> 02:42:26.433 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and grandparents fought and
died and sacrificed for.

02:42:27.500 --> 02:42:30.533 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
America Hope is
making a comeback.

02:42:44.766 --> 02:42:49.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
To be honest. I am realizing
that until recently,

02:42:51.500 --> 02:42:54.566 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
I have mourned the
dimming of that hope.

02:42:56.033 --> 02:43:00.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And maybe you've experienced the
same feelings? Is that deep pit

02:43:02.133 --> 02:43:05.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
in my stomach. A palpable sense
of dread about the future.

02:43:08.600 --> 02:43:13.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And for me that morning has also
been mixed with my own personal

02:43:15.266 --> 02:43:19.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
grief. The last time I
was here in my hometown
was to memorialize

02:43:21.300 --> 02:43:26.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
my mother. The woman who
showed me the meaning of
hard work and humility

02:43:28.000 --> 02:43:33.000 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
and decency. The
woman who set my moral
compass high. And showed

02:43:34.333 --> 02:43:38.933 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
me the power of my
own voice. Folks

02:43:44.200 --> 02:43:48.600 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
I still feel her
loss so profoundly.

02:43:50.400 --> 02:43:53.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I wasn't even sure if
I'd be steady enough to
stand before you tonight.

02:43:55.166 --> 02:43:59.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
But my heart compelled
me to be here because
of the sense of duty

02:43:59.333 --> 02:44:04.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
that I feel to honor her memory.
And and to remind us all.

02:44:06.466 --> 02:44:11.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Not to squander the
sacrifices our elders
made to give us a better

02:44:12.366 --> 02:44:15.366 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
future.

02:44:17.366 --> 02:44:18.333 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
You see

02:44:19.633 --> 02:44:20.633 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
My mom

02:44:22.300 --> 02:44:26.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
In her steady, quiet way
lived out that striving
sense of hope, every

02:44:28.100 --> 02:44:32.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
single day of her life.
She believed that all
children, all, all

02:44:34.166 --> 02:44:37.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
people have value. That
anyone can succeed if
given the opportunity.

02:44:40.933 --> 02:44:45.766 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
She and my father. didn't
aspire to be wealthy.
In fact, they were

02:44:45.766 --> 02:44:49.666 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
suspicious of folks who
took more than they needed.

02:44:51.366 --> 02:44:55.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
They understood. That
it wasn't enough for
their kids to thrive if

02:44:56.600 --> 02:45:01.366 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
everyone else around us
was drowning. So my mother.

02:45:03.000 --> 02:45:07.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Volunteered at the local
school. She, she always
looked out for the

02:45:07.100 --> 02:45:12.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
other kids on the block.
She was glad to do the
thankless unglamorous

02:45:13.900 --> 02:45:18.433 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
work that for generations
has strengthened the
fabric of this nation.

02:45:20.166 --> 02:45:24.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
The belief that if you
do unto others if you
love thy neighbor if

02:45:26.566 --> 02:45:30.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
you work and scrape
and sacrifice, it will
pay off if not for you,

02:45:31.566 --> 02:45:33.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
then maybe for your children
or your grandchildren.

02:45:35.400 --> 02:45:40.400 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
You see those. Values.
have been passed on.

02:45:41.866 --> 02:45:46.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Through family farms and factory
towns through tree-lined streets

02:45:46.166 --> 02:45:50.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and crowded tenements
through prayer groups
and National Guard units

02:45:50.700 --> 02:45:55.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and social studies
classrooms. Those were the
values my mother poured

02:45:56.833 --> 02:45:59.033 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
into me until her
very last breath.

02:46:01.100 --> 02:46:06.100 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Kamala Harris and I built
our lives on the same
foundational values.

02:46:07.500 --> 02:46:10.566 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Even though our mothers
grew up in ocean apart.

02:46:12.066 --> 02:46:15.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
They shared the same belief in
the promise of this country.

02:46:16.866 --> 02:46:17.633 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
That's why

02:46:18.833 --> 02:46:22.233 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Her mother moved here
from India at 19.

02:46:23.466 --> 02:46:26.400 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
It's why she taught
Kamala about justice,

02:46:28.066 --> 02:46:32.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
about the obligation to
lift others up. About
our responsibility

02:46:33.700 --> 02:46:37.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to give more than we
take. She'd often tell
her daughter. Don't sit

02:46:38.700 --> 02:46:42.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
around and complain about
things, do something.

02:46:44.066 --> 02:46:44.733 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
So

02:46:46.433 --> 02:46:50.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
With that voice. In
her head. Kamela went
out and she worked hard

02:46:51.766 --> 02:46:54.600 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
in school graduating
from an HBCU.

02:46:57.966 --> 02:47:02.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
State school. And then
she went on to work
for the people fighting

02:47:04.833 --> 02:47:08.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to hold lawbreakers
accountable, strengthening
the rule of law, fighting

02:47:08.766 --> 02:47:13.766 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
to get folks better wages,
cheaper prescription
drugs, a good education,

02:47:15.533 --> 02:47:19.366 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
decent health care, child
care, elder care from a
middle class household,

02:47:21.033 --> 02:47:24.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Kamala worked her way up
to become vice president
of the United States

02:47:24.800 --> 02:47:27.800 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
of America.

02:47:32.866 --> 02:47:37.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
is more Then ready for
this moment. She is one
of the most qualified

02:47:39.400 --> 02:47:42.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
people ever to seek the
office of the presidency.

02:47:46.200 --> 02:47:46.800 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
And

02:47:48.500 --> 02:47:51.766 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
She is one of the
most dignified.

02:47:53.266 --> 02:47:56.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
A tribute to her mother, to my
mother, and to your mother too.

02:47:58.433 --> 02:48:03.033 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
The embodiment. Of the
stories we tell ourselves
about this country,

02:48:04.733 --> 02:48:09.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
her story is your story.
It's my story. It's
the story of the vast

02:48:10.533 --> 02:48:13.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
majority of Americans trying
to build a better life.

02:48:15.066 --> 02:48:18.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Look, Kamala knows like
we do that regardless
of where you come from,

02:48:20.666 --> 02:48:22.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
what you look like,
who you love, how you
worship, or what's in your

02:48:22.400 --> 02:48:27.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
bank account we all
deserve the opportunity
to build a decent life.

02:48:28.200 --> 02:48:31.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
All of our contributions
deserve to be

02:48:32.033 --> 02:48:35.000 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
accepted. valued.

02:48:38.466 --> 02:48:39.033 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Because

02:48:40.500 --> 02:48:44.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
No one has a monopoly on what it
means to be an American no one.

02:48:53.333 --> 02:48:58.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Has shown her allegiance to this
nation, not by spewing anger and

02:48:58.300 --> 02:49:03.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
bitterness. But by
living a life of service
and always pushing the

02:49:04.966 --> 02:49:08.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
doors of opportunity
open to others. She
understands that most of

02:49:10.400 --> 02:49:14.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
us will never be afforded
the grace of failing forward.

02:49:15.733 --> 02:49:19.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
We will never benefit
from the affirmative
action of generational

02:49:19.766 --> 02:49:22.766 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
wealth.

02:49:29.966 --> 02:49:30.600 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
If we

02:49:31.366 --> 02:49:32.366 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
the business

02:49:33.833 --> 02:49:38.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
If we bankrupt a business. choke
in a crisis we don't get a 2nd,

02:49:39.700 --> 02:49:44.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
3rd or 4th chance.
Don't go our We

02:49:45.733 --> 02:49:49.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
We don't have the luxury
of whining or cheating
others to get further

02:49:49.533 --> 02:49:52.533 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
ahead, no.

02:49:54.266 --> 02:49:58.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Change the rules so we
always win if we see
a mountain in front of

02:50:00.300 --> 02:50:02.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
us, we don't expect
there to be an escalator
waiting to take us to

02:50:02.333 --> 02:50:05.333 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
the top.

02:50:09.566 --> 02:50:10.133 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Oh

02:50:11.300 --> 02:50:16.100 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
We get to work. In
America We do something.

02:50:19.500 --> 02:50:24.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Entire life. That's What
we've seen from Kamala Harris.

02:50:26.200 --> 02:50:31.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
The steel of her spine.
The steadiness of her
upbringing, the honesty

02:50:32.600 --> 02:50:36.433 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
of her example and yes, the joy
of her laughter and her lights.

02:50:41.266 --> 02:50:42.000 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Yes

02:50:43.566 --> 02:50:47.666 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
Of the two major
candidates in this race.
Only Kamala Harris truly

02:50:49.500 --> 02:50:53.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
understands the unseen
labor and unwavering
commitment that has always

02:50:53.833 --> 02:50:56.100 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
made America great.

02:51:01.400 --> 02:51:06.233 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Now unfortunately, We
know what comes next.

02:51:07.900 --> 02:51:10.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
We know folks are going
to do everything they
can to distort her

02:51:10.966 --> 02:51:15.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
truth. My husband and
I sadly know a little
something about this.

02:51:18.966 --> 02:51:23.233 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
For years Donald Trump
did everything in his
power to try to make

02:51:23.233 --> 02:51:28.233 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
people fear us. See
his his limited narrow
view of the world made

02:51:30.666 --> 02:51:34.933 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
him feel threatened by the
existence of two hardwork
and highly educated,

02:51:36.166 --> 02:51:38.166 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
successful people who
happen to be black.

02:51:54.966 --> 02:51:55.366 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Oh

02:51:56.966 --> 02:51:57.366 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Oh

02:51:58.733 --> 02:51:59.633 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
To tell him

02:52:01.166 --> 02:52:03.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Gonna tell him that the job he's
currently seeking might just be

02:52:03.200 --> 02:52:06.200 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
one of those black jobs.

02:52:24.466 --> 02:52:24.866 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
The same

02:52:25.400 --> 02:52:25.533 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
One

02:52:27.266 --> 02:52:31.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Doubling down On ugly
misogynistic, racist
lives as a substitute

02:52:33.066 --> 02:52:35.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
for real ideas and
solutions that will actually
make people's lives

02:52:35.866 --> 02:52:40.433 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
better. Look, because
cutting. Health care

02:52:42.166 --> 02:52:45.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Taking away our freedom
to control our bodies,
the freedom to become

02:52:45.700 --> 02:52:50.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
a mother through IVF
like I did. Those things
are not going to improve

02:52:52.166 --> 02:52:55.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
the health outcomes of our
wives, mothers and daughters.

02:52:57.533 --> 02:53:01.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Shutting down the
Department of Education
banning our books, none

02:53:03.033 --> 02:53:06.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
of that will prepare
our kids for the future
demonizing our children

02:53:06.600 --> 02:53:11.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
for being who they are
and loving who they
love. Look that. Doesn't

02:53:11.333 --> 02:53:13.100 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
make Everybody's life better

02:53:17.000 --> 02:53:17.466 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
In

02:53:19.100 --> 02:53:20.066 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Instead

02:53:21.533 --> 02:53:26.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
It only makes us small. And let
me tell you this, going small is

02:53:28.100 --> 02:53:33.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
never the answer. Going
small is the opposite
of what we teach our

02:53:34.566 --> 02:53:39.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
kids. Going small is petty. It's
unhealthy and quite frankly it's

02:53:40.266 --> 02:53:43.266 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
unpresidential.

02:53:47.666 --> 02:53:48.200 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
No

02:53:50.866 --> 02:53:55.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Would any of us. Except
this from anyone seeking
our highest office.

02:53:57.300 --> 02:54:00.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Why will we normalize that
type of backward leadership.

02:54:02.200 --> 02:54:07.200 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Doing so only demeans and
cheapens our politics.
It only serves to

02:54:08.866 --> 02:54:12.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
further discourage good
big-hearted people from
wanting to get involved

02:54:12.500 --> 02:54:17.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
at all. America. Parents
taught us better than that.

02:54:19.033 --> 02:54:23.833 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
We deserve so much better than
that. We must do everything in

02:54:25.966 --> 02:54:30.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
our power to elect two
of those good big-hearted
people. There is

02:54:32.666 --> 02:54:36.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
no other choice than
Kamala Harris and Tim
Walsh, no other choice.

02:54:44.933 --> 02:54:45.333 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
But

02:54:47.333 --> 02:54:48.200 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
As we

02:54:49.933 --> 02:54:54.033 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Embrace this renewed
sense of hope. Let us
not forget the despair

02:54:55.466 --> 02:55:00.233 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
we have felt. Let us not
forget what we are up against.

02:55:01.900 --> 02:55:04.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Yes, Kamala and Tim
are doing great now.
We're loving it. They're

02:55:04.533 --> 02:55:08.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
packing arenas across
the country, folks are
energized. We are feeling

02:55:08.700 --> 02:55:10.933 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
good. But

02:55:12.733 --> 02:55:17.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Remember there are still
so many people who are
desperate for a different

02:55:17.400 --> 02:55:22.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
outcome. Who are ready
to question and criticize
every move Kamala

02:55:24.166 --> 02:55:27.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
makes who are eager to
spread those lies who
don't want to vote for

02:55:29.533 --> 02:55:33.100 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
a woman who will continue
to prioritize building
their wealth over

02:55:33.100 --> 02:55:38.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
ensuring that everyone
has enough. So no
matter how good we feel

02:55:39.866 --> 02:55:44.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
tonight or tomorrow or
the next day. This is
going to be an uphill

02:55:46.000 --> 02:55:49.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
battle. So folks. We cannot
be our own worst enemies.

02:55:52.033 --> 02:55:57.033 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
No. Because the minute
Something goes wrong.

02:55:58.733 --> 02:56:01.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
The minute a lie takes
hold, folks, we cannot
start wringing our

02:56:01.733 --> 02:56:06.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
hands. We cannot get
a Goldilocks complex
about whether everything

02:56:07.366 --> 02:56:10.266 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
is just right.

02:56:13.800 --> 02:56:18.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
We cannot Indulge
Anxieties about whether
this country will elect

02:56:20.633 --> 02:56:25.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
someone like Kamala
instead of doing everything
we can to get someone

02:56:25.800 --> 02:56:28.366 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
like Kamala elected.

02:56:34.300 --> 02:56:35.200 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
And Tim

02:56:36.833 --> 02:56:41.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
They have lived amazing
lives. And I, I am
confident that they will

02:56:43.633 --> 02:56:48.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
lead with compassion,
inclusion, and grace, but.

02:56:50.133 --> 02:56:55.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
They are still only human.
They are not perfect.

02:56:56.800 --> 02:57:01.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And like all of us,
they will make mistakes.
But luckily y'all, this

02:57:03.066 --> 02:57:06.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
is not just on them.
No, uh uh, this is up
to us, all of us to be

02:57:08.766 --> 02:57:13.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
the solution that we
seek. It's up to all of
us to be the anecdote

02:57:15.466 --> 02:57:19.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to the darkness and
division. Look, I don't
care how You identify

02:57:21.200 --> 02:57:24.700 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
politically whether you're
Democrat, Republican,
Independent, or

02:57:24.700 --> 02:57:29.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
none of the above. This
is our time to stand
up for what we know

02:57:29.533 --> 02:57:32.533 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
in our hearts is right.

02:57:37.000 --> 02:57:41.400 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
To stand up Not just
for our basic freedoms.

02:57:43.233 --> 02:57:47.033 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
But for decency and
humanity. For basic respect,
dignity, and empathy.

02:57:50.066 --> 02:57:54.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
For the values at the very
foundation of this democracy.

02:57:56.300 --> 02:57:59.733 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
It's up to us to remember
what Kamala's mother
told her, Don't just

02:57:59.733 --> 02:58:02.766 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
sit around and
complain, do something

02:58:04.266 --> 02:58:08.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
so if they lie about. And they
will, we've got to do something.

02:58:10.066 --> 02:58:13.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
If we see a bad poll,
and we will, we got
to put down that phone

02:58:13.266 --> 02:58:18.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and do something. Start
feeling tired if we
start feeling that dread

02:58:19.733 --> 02:58:22.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
creeping back in. We gotta pick
ourselves up, throw water on our

02:58:22.466 --> 02:58:27.466 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
face, and what? We only
have 2.5 months, y'all.

02:58:29.500 --> 02:58:34.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
To get this done. Only 11 weeks
to make sure every single person

02:58:36.366 --> 02:58:40.933 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
we know is registered
and has a voting plan.

02:58:42.066 --> 02:58:42.766 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
So

02:58:44.500 --> 02:58:48.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
We cannot afford. For
anyone, anyone, anyone
America to sit on their

02:58:50.733 --> 02:58:54.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
hands and wait to be
called. Don't complain if
no one from the campaign

02:58:55.966 --> 02:58:59.433 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
has specifically reached out to
you to ask you for your support.

02:59:00.933 --> 02:59:04.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
There is simply no time for
that kind of foolishness.

02:59:07.100 --> 02:59:09.333 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
No You need to do Oh

02:59:15.033 --> 02:59:17.533 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
Consider Yes To be

02:59:19.166 --> 02:59:23.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Your official ask.
Michelle Obama is asking
you, no, I'm telling

02:59:23.900 --> 02:59:26.166 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
y'all to do something.

02:59:32.266 --> 02:59:32.833 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Because

02:59:45.566 --> 02:59:50.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
This election It's
gonna be close. In some
states just a handful,

02:59:52.300 --> 02:59:55.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
listen to me, a handful
of votes in every
precinct could decide the

02:59:55.200 --> 03:00:00.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
winner. So we need to
vote in numbers that
have raised any doubt.

03:00:01.666 --> 03:00:05.833 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
We need to overwhelm any
effort to suppress us.

03:00:08.000 --> 03:00:13.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
fate is in our hands
in 77 days we have the
power to turn our country

03:00:15.266 --> 03:00:18.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
away from the fear, division,
and smallness of the past.

03:00:20.333 --> 03:00:24.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
We have the power. To marry
our hope with our action.

03:00:26.866 --> 03:00:31.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
We have the power. To
pay forward the love.
Sweat and sacrifice of

03:00:33.766 --> 03:00:37.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
our mothers and fathers and
all those who came before us.

03:00:39.566 --> 03:00:43.233 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
We did it before y'all.
And we sure can do
it again. Let us work

03:00:43.233 --> 03:00:46.000 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
like I've lived.
depend on it. And

03:00:46.733 --> 03:00:47.133 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
moving

03:00:48.400 --> 03:00:48.533 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%

Go

03:00:51.400 --> 03:00:55.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Yes, always higher than
we've ever gone before

03:00:55.800 --> 03:00:59.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
president and vice president of
the United States, Kamala Harris

03:00:59.633 --> 03:01:02.600 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and Tim Walsh, thank
you all. God bless.

You all, thank you for all the
love. But it is now my honor.

03:01:42.533 --> 03:01:43.700 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
To introduce

03:01:46.500 --> 03:01:51.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
A whole lot about hope.
Someone who has. spent

03:01:53.566 --> 03:01:57.833 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
his life strengthening
our democracy and let
me tell you as someone

03:01:57.833 --> 03:02:02.400 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
who lives with him.
He wakes up every day.

03:02:03.900 --> 03:02:07.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Every day. And thinks about
what's best for this country.

03:02:09.233 --> 03:02:12.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Please welcome America's
44th president and
the love of my life.

03:02:48.500 --> 03:02:49.666 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
Hello Chicago

03:03:14.700 --> 03:03:17.700 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
Thank you, thank you.

03:03:19.400 --> 03:03:19.733 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Thank

03:03:31.266 --> 03:03:31.400 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
them

03:03:32.533 --> 03:03:35.966 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Thank you, thank you. Chicago

03:03:38.500 --> 03:03:39.500 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
It's good to be Yeah

03:03:44.166 --> 03:03:45.133 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Go and

03:03:45.900 --> 03:03:46.200 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Ah

03:03:47.500 --> 03:03:50.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
I don't know about you,
but. I'm feeling fired up.

03:03:57.533 --> 03:04:01.200 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Ah I, I am feeling ready to go.

03:04:06.200 --> 03:04:07.100 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Even if

03:04:07.800 --> 03:04:08.266 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Even if

03:04:10.000 --> 03:04:12.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I am the only person
stupid enough to speak
after Michelle Obama.

03:04:19.633 --> 03:04:24.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
I am feeling hopeful.
Because this convention

03:04:26.300 --> 03:04:30.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
has always been pretty
good to kids with funny
names who believe.

03:04:31.633 --> 03:04:33.933 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
In a country where
anything is possible.

03:04:37.766 --> 03:04:41.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Because we have a chance to
elect someone who has spent

03:04:43.466 --> 03:04:47.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Her entire life trying
to give people the same
chances America gave

03:04:48.533 --> 03:04:52.733 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
her. Someone who sees
you. And here's you

03:04:54.133 --> 03:04:57.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And we'll get up every
single day and fight for you.

03:04:59.033 --> 03:05:03.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
The next president of
the United States of
America, Kamala Harris.

03:05:11.933 --> 03:05:13.833 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
It's been 16 years

03:05:15.633 --> 03:05:19.833 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
since I had the honor of
accepting this party's
nomination for president.

03:05:21.000 --> 03:05:21.800 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
And

03:05:23.333 --> 03:05:26.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I know that's hard to believe
because I have not aged a bit.

03:05:30.300 --> 03:05:31.166 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
But it's true

03:05:33.733 --> 03:05:38.733 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And, and looking back. I
can say without question.

03:05:40.400 --> 03:05:44.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
That my first big
decision as your nominee
turned out to be one of

03:05:44.366 --> 03:05:48.433 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
my best. And I was
asking Joe Biden to serve

03:05:49.333 --> 03:05:51.966 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
by my side as vice president.

03:05:58.600 --> 03:05:59.366 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Oh

03:06:00.666 --> 03:06:03.866 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
other, other than some
common Irish blood.

03:06:05.900 --> 03:06:06.966 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
Joe and I

03:06:08.300 --> 03:06:11.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Come from different backgrounds.
When we became brothers.

03:06:12.900 --> 03:06:15.666 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
And as we work together for a

03:06:17.433 --> 03:06:21.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Sometimes pretty tough
years. When I came to
admire most about Joe

03:06:21.200 --> 03:06:24.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
wasn't just as smart,
his experience.

03:06:26.066 --> 03:06:29.666 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
It was his empathy.
And his decency.

03:06:30.833 --> 03:06:32.033 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
And it's hard

03:06:33.766 --> 03:06:37.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
earned resilience. His
unshakable belief that
everyone in this country

03:06:38.633 --> 03:06:40.966 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
deserves a fair shot.

03:06:45.400 --> 03:06:49.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And over the last 4 years,
those are the values.

03:06:50.966 --> 03:06:55.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
America has needed most.
At a time when millions
of our fellow citizens

03:06:56.633 --> 03:07:00.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
were sick and dying. We needed a
leader with the character to put

03:07:02.666 --> 03:07:05.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
politics aside and do
what was right. At a
time when our economy

03:07:05.866 --> 03:07:10.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
was reeling. We needed
a leader with the
determination to drive what

03:07:12.566 --> 03:07:15.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
would become the world's
strongest recovery, 15
million jobs, higher

03:07:15.500 --> 03:07:20.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
wages, lower health care costs.
At a time when the other party

03:07:23.433 --> 03:07:28.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
had turned into a cult
of personality. We
needed a leader who was

03:07:29.500 --> 03:07:32.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
steady. And brought
people together.

03:07:33.933 --> 03:07:38.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And was selfless enough
to do the rarest thing
there is in politics.

03:07:39.633 --> 03:07:42.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Putting his own ambition aside
for the sake of the country.

03:07:49.200 --> 03:07:54.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
History We'll remember Joe Biden
as an outstanding president.

03:07:55.600 --> 03:07:59.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Who defended democracy. At
a moment of great danger.

03:08:01.766 --> 03:08:06.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And I am proud to call
him my president, but
I am even prouder to

03:08:06.133 --> 03:08:09.133 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
call him my friend.

03:08:25.000 --> 03:08:25.566 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
No

03:08:28.133 --> 03:08:33.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
The torch has been passed.
Now it is up to all of us.

03:08:35.800 --> 03:08:36.533 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
To fight

03:08:38.200 --> 03:08:41.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
For the America we
believe in. And make no
mistake, it will be a

03:08:41.900 --> 03:08:46.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
fight. For all the
incredible energy we've
been able to generate

03:08:48.400 --> 03:08:50.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
over the last few weeks for
all the rallies and the memes.

03:08:53.800 --> 03:08:58.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
This will still be a tight race.
In a closely divided country.

03:09:01.733 --> 03:09:05.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
A country where too many
Americans are still struggling.

03:09:07.266 --> 03:09:07.966 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Where

03:09:09.700 --> 03:09:13.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
A lot of Americans don't
believe government can
help. And as we gather

03:09:15.133 --> 03:09:18.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
here tonight, the people who
will decide this election.

03:09:19.500 --> 03:09:24.466 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
are asking a very simple
question. Who will fight for me?

03:09:26.300 --> 03:09:31.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Who's thinking about
my future, about my
children's future, about

03:09:32.033 --> 03:09:34.600 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
our future together.

03:09:36.700 --> 03:09:41.700 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
One thing is for certain.
Donald Trump is not
losing sleep over that

03:09:43.300 --> 03:09:46.300 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
question.

03:09:50.533 --> 03:09:55.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Here's a 78 year old
billionaire. Who has not
stopped whining about

03:09:57.300 --> 03:10:01.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
his problems. Since he
wrote down his golden
escalator 9 years ago.

03:10:03.366 --> 03:10:08.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
It has been a constant stream
of gripes and grievances.

03:10:09.833 --> 03:10:11.900 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
That that's actually been
getting worse now that
he's afraid of losing

03:10:11.900 --> 03:10:14.900 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
the common.

03:10:16.866 --> 03:10:21.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
There's the childish nicknames.
The crazy conspiracy theories.

03:10:23.900 --> 03:10:26.900 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
This weird obsession
with crowd sizes.

03:10:37.700 --> 03:10:41.133 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
It just goes and on and on.

03:10:44.400 --> 03:10:48.833 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
The other day I heard
someone compare Trump.
To the neighbor who

03:10:48.833 --> 03:10:52.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
keeps running his leaf
blower outside your
window every minute of

03:10:52.900 --> 03:10:55.866 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
every day.

03:10:58.500 --> 03:11:00.400 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
Now From a neighbor

03:11:01.500 --> 03:11:05.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
That's exhausting.
From a president

03:11:07.500 --> 03:11:12.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
It's just dangerous. The, the,
the truth is Donald Trump seized

03:11:14.666 --> 03:11:18.166 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
power as nothing more
than it means to his ends.

03:11:19.866 --> 03:11:22.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
He wants the middle
class to pay the price
for another huge tax cut

03:11:22.900 --> 03:11:27.300 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
that would mostly help
him. And his rich friends.

03:11:28.500 --> 03:11:31.866 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
He killed a bipartisan
immigration deal.

03:11:33.566 --> 03:11:36.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Written in part by one
of the most conservative
Republicans in Congress.

03:11:38.066 --> 03:11:40.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
That would have helped secure
our southern border because

03:11:42.033 --> 03:11:44.300 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
He thought Trying to
actually solve the problem.

03:11:45.400 --> 03:11:49.200 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Would hurt his
campaign. He doesn't

03:11:51.000 --> 03:11:52.100 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
Do not vote

03:11:53.266 --> 03:11:53.533 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Boat

03:12:01.800 --> 03:12:06.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
He doesn't seem to care
if more Women lose their
reproductive freedom

03:12:08.300 --> 03:12:12.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
since it won't affect his life.
And most of all, Donald Trump

03:12:14.166 --> 03:12:17.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
wants us to think that this
country is hopelessly divided.

03:12:18.566 --> 03:12:23.000 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Between us and them. Between

03:12:24.233 --> 03:12:26.933 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
The real Americans, who
of course support him.

03:12:28.633 --> 03:12:32.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And the outsiders who
don't. And he wants you
to think that you'll

03:12:32.200 --> 03:12:37.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
be richer and safer. If
you will just give him
the power to put those

03:12:38.900 --> 03:12:43.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
other people back in
their place. It is one
of the oldest tricks

03:12:45.233 --> 03:12:49.633 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
in politics. From a guy
whose act has, let's
face it, gotten pretty

03:12:49.633 --> 03:12:54.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
stale. We do not need
4 more years. A bluster

03:12:57.633 --> 03:13:02.633 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And bumbling and chaos
we have seen that
movie before and we all

03:13:03.800 --> 03:13:06.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
know that the sequel
is usually worse.

03:13:12.866 --> 03:13:17.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
America's ready for a
new chapter. America's
ready for a better story.

03:13:19.500 --> 03:13:23.233 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
We are ready for a
president, Kamala Harris.

03:13:33.233 --> 03:13:36.233 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And Kamala Harris is
ready for the job.

03:13:38.766 --> 03:13:42.300 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
This is a person who
has spent her life.

03:13:43.766 --> 03:13:46.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Fighting on behalf of people
who need a voice and a champion.

03:13:47.666 --> 03:13:50.833 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
As you heard from
Michelle, Kamelo was
not born into privilege.

03:13:52.533 --> 03:13:56.833 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
She had to work for
what she's got. And she
actually cares about.

03:13:58.533 --> 03:14:01.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
What other people are
going through. She's
not the neighbor running

03:14:01.066 --> 03:14:03.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
the leaf blower. She's
the neighbor rushing
over to help when you

03:14:03.466 --> 03:14:06.466 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
need a hand.

03:14:08.166 --> 03:14:12.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
As a prosecutor. Kamala
stood up for children
who had been victims

03:14:12.400 --> 03:14:17.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
of sexual abuse. As
an attorney general of
the most populous state

03:14:18.900 --> 03:14:22.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
in the country. She fought big
banks. And for-profit colleges.

03:14:25.333 --> 03:14:30.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Securing billions of dollars.
For the people they had scammed.

03:14:32.066 --> 03:14:35.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
After the home mortgage
crisis, she pushed me
and my administration

03:14:35.500 --> 03:14:39.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
hard. To make sure homeowners
got a fair settlement.

03:14:40.766 --> 03:14:42.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Didn't matter that I was
a Democrat. It didn't
matter that you had

03:14:42.700 --> 03:14:46.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
knocked on doors for
my campaign in Iowa she
was going to fight to

03:14:46.000 --> 03:14:50.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
get as much relief
as possible for the
families who deserved it.

03:14:55.166 --> 03:15:00.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
As vice president. She
helped take on the drug
companies to cap the

03:15:00.133 --> 03:15:04.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
cost of insulin. Lower
the cost of health
care. Get families with

03:15:04.700 --> 03:15:09.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
kids a tax cut. And
she is running for
president with real plans

03:15:11.400 --> 03:15:14.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to lower costs even more
and protect Medicare
and Medicaid and sign

03:15:15.800 --> 03:15:19.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
a law to guarantee every
woman's right to make
her own health care

03:15:19.200 --> 03:15:22.200 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
decisions.

03:15:30.800 --> 03:15:35.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
In other words, Kamala
Harris Won't be focused
on her problems.

03:15:37.733 --> 03:15:42.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
She'll be focused on yours. As
President, she won't just cater.

03:15:45.566 --> 03:15:49.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
To her own supporters
and Punish those who
refuse to kiss the ring

03:15:49.733 --> 03:15:54.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
or bend the knee. She'll work on
behalf of every American. That's

03:15:56.433 --> 03:16:00.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
who Kamala is. And in
the White House she
will have an outstanding

03:16:02.166 --> 03:16:05.166 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
partner. And governor Tim Wals.

03:16:10.300 --> 03:16:11.866 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Let, let, let me
Tell you something

03:16:13.900 --> 03:16:17.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Let me, let, let, let,
let, let me tell you
something. I love this

03:16:17.166 --> 03:16:20.166 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
guy.

03:16:21.566 --> 03:16:24.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Tim is the kind of person
who should be in politics.

03:16:25.866 --> 03:16:30.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Born in a small town.
served his country taught
kids, coached football.

03:16:32.866 --> 03:16:37.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
took care of his neighbors.
He knows who he is.

03:16:39.633 --> 03:16:43.633 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And he knows what's
important. You can tell
those those flannel shirts

03:16:43.633 --> 03:16:47.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
he wears don't come
from some political
consultant. They come from

03:16:47.000 --> 03:16:50.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
his closet. And they have
been Through some stuff.

03:16:58.333 --> 03:17:00.566 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
I Through some stuff Right

03:17:07.500 --> 03:17:12.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Together Kamala and Tim.
have kept faith with
America's central story.

03:17:14.600 --> 03:17:18.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
A story that says we
are all created equal.

03:17:20.600 --> 03:17:25.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
All of us endowed with
certain inalienable rights
that everyone deserves

03:17:25.066 --> 03:17:29.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
a chance that Even when we
don't agree with each other.

03:17:30.966 --> 03:17:35.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
We can find a way To
live with each other.
That's Kamala's vision.

03:17:37.833 --> 03:17:42.833 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
That's Tim's vision.
That's the Democratic
Party's vision. And our

03:17:44.500 --> 03:17:49.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
job over the next 11
weeks is to convince as
many people as possible.

03:17:50.366 --> 03:17:53.366 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
To vote for that vision.

03:17:55.800 --> 03:18:00.600 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Now it won't be easy.
The other side knows.

03:18:02.400 --> 03:18:05.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
It's easier to play
on people's fears and
cynicism, always has been.

03:18:07.300 --> 03:18:10.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
They will tell you that.
Government is inherently
corrupt that that

03:18:10.800 --> 03:18:15.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
sacrifice and generosity
are for suckers. And

03:18:17.166 --> 03:18:19.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Since the game is
rigged, it's OK to take
what you want and just

03:18:19.566 --> 03:18:23.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
look after your own.
That's the easy path.

03:18:25.966 --> 03:18:30.566 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
We have a different task.
Our job is to convince
people that democracy

03:18:30.566 --> 03:18:35.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
can actually deliver.
And, and in doing that
we can't just point

03:18:37.333 --> 03:18:41.833 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to what we've already
accomplished. We can't
just rely on the ideas

03:18:41.833 --> 03:18:45.233 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
of the past. We need to
chart. A new way forward

03:18:46.700 --> 03:18:50.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
To meet the challenges of today.
And Kamala understands this.

03:18:52.000 --> 03:18:54.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
She knows, for example,
that if we want to
make it easier for more

03:18:54.200 --> 03:18:58.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
young people to buy a
home. We need to build
more units and clear

03:18:58.666 --> 03:19:02.500 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
away some of the outdated
laws and regulations
that made it harder

03:19:02.500 --> 03:19:07.300 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
to build homes for working
people in this country.
That is a priority,

03:19:08.600 --> 03:19:10.466 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and she's put out a bold
new plan to do just that.

03:19:15.400 --> 03:19:19.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
On health care, we should all be
Proud of the enormous progress.

03:19:21.266 --> 03:19:25.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
That we've made through
the Affordable Care
Act. Providing millions

03:19:26.766 --> 03:19:30.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
of people access to
affordable coverage
protecting millions more

03:19:30.966 --> 03:19:34.533 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
from unscrupulous
insurance practices.

03:19:36.333 --> 03:19:38.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And I noticed, by the
way, that since it's
become popular, they don't

03:19:38.666 --> 03:19:41.666 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
call it Obamacare no more.

03:19:45.200 --> 03:19:45.800 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
But

03:19:47.666 --> 03:19:52.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Kamala knows we can't
stop there. Which is
why I shall keep working

03:19:52.100 --> 03:19:57.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to limit out of pocket
costs. Kala knows that
if we want to help

03:19:58.566 --> 03:20:03.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
people get ahead. We need to put
a college degree within reach of

03:20:04.400 --> 03:20:08.600 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
more Americans. But,
but she also knows.

03:20:10.366 --> 03:20:13.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
College shouldn't be the only
ticket to the middle class.

03:20:16.000 --> 03:20:19.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
We need to follow the
lead of governors like
Tim Walls who said if

03:20:19.666 --> 03:20:23.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
you've got the skills
and the drive. You
shouldn't need a degree

03:20:23.700 --> 03:20:28.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
to work for state government.
And in this new economy,

03:20:30.266 --> 03:20:35.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
We need a president who
actually cares about
the millions of people

03:20:36.866 --> 03:20:40.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
all across this country
who wake up every single
day to do the essential

03:20:42.033 --> 03:20:46.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
often thankless work.
To care for our sick,
to clean our streets,

03:20:47.933 --> 03:20:51.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to deliver our packages.
We need a president
who will stand up for

03:20:51.333 --> 03:20:53.566 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
their right. To
bargain for better

03:20:54.533 --> 03:20:58.066 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
and working conditions. Pamela

03:20:58.733 --> 03:20:59.400 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
President

03:21:09.100 --> 03:21:10.100 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
Yes, she can

03:21:22.400 --> 03:21:23.233 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
Yes you can

03:21:26.300 --> 03:21:31.300 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Harris Wals administration.
Can help us move past
some of the tired

03:21:33.066 --> 03:21:37.033 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
old debates. That keeps
stifling progress.

03:21:38.833 --> 03:21:42.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Because of their core.
Kamala and Tim understand
that when everybody

03:21:42.700 --> 03:21:46.033 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
gets a fair shot. We
are all better off.

03:21:47.566 --> 03:21:51.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
They understand that when every
child gets a good education, the

03:21:51.266 --> 03:21:56.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
whole economy gets
stronger. When women
are paid the same as men

03:21:57.566 --> 03:22:00.666 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
for doing the same job
all families benefit.

03:22:06.066 --> 03:22:10.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
They understand that we
can secure our borders
without tearing kids

03:22:10.800 --> 03:22:15.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
away from their parents.
Just like we can keep
our streets safe while

03:22:17.466 --> 03:22:20.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
also building trust
between law enforcement
and the communities they

03:22:20.700 --> 03:22:25.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
serve and eliminating
bias that will make it
better for everybody.

03:22:33.100 --> 03:22:36.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Donald Trump and his well-heeled
donors, they don't see the world

03:22:36.900 --> 03:22:41.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
that way. For them, One group's
gains. is necessarily another

03:22:44.133 --> 03:22:49.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
group's loss. For them
Freedom means that the
powerful can do pretty

03:22:51.066 --> 03:22:55.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
much what they please.
Whether it's fireworkers
trying to organize

03:22:55.266 --> 03:22:56.566 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
a union or

03:22:59.000 --> 03:23:02.633 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Poison in our rivers
or avoid paying taxes
like everybody else has

03:23:02.633 --> 03:23:07.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
to do. Well, we have a
broader idea of freedom.

03:23:09.666 --> 03:23:14.066 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
We believe in the freedom
to provide for your
family if you're willing

03:23:14.066 --> 03:23:18.533 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
to work hard. The freedom
to breathe clean air
and drink clean water

03:23:18.533 --> 03:23:22.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and send your kids to
school without worrying
if they'll come home.

03:23:26.700 --> 03:23:31.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
We believe that true
freedom Gives each of us
the right to make decisions

03:23:33.400 --> 03:23:37.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
about our own life.
How we worship what our
family looks like, how

03:23:37.500 --> 03:23:42.500 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
many kids we have, who we
married. And we believe
that freedom requires

03:23:44.233 --> 03:23:48.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
us. To recognize that
other people have the
freedom to make choices

03:23:49.966 --> 03:23:52.033 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
that are different
than ours. That's OK.

03:23:59.433 --> 03:24:03.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
That's the America Kamala
Harrison Tim Walls believe in.

03:24:05.500 --> 03:24:09.300 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
An America where we, the
people Includes everyone.

03:24:11.533 --> 03:24:12.166 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Because

03:24:13.466 --> 03:24:16.266 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
that's the only way this
American experiment works.

03:24:18.266 --> 03:24:23.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And despite what our
politics might suggest,
I think most Americans

03:24:25.066 --> 03:24:29.200 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
understand that. Democracy
isn't just a bunch of
abstract principles

03:24:30.800 --> 03:24:34.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and and and dusty laws and
and some books somewhere.

03:24:35.866 --> 03:24:40.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
It's the values we live by. It's
the way we treat each other.

03:24:42.333 --> 03:24:46.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Including those who
don't look like us. Or
pray like us or see the

03:24:47.233 --> 03:24:49.466 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
world exactly like we do.

03:24:58.066 --> 03:24:58.500 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
That

03:25:00.100 --> 03:25:04.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
That sense of mutual respect.
Has to be part of our message.

03:25:06.000 --> 03:25:10.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Our politics have become
so polarized these days
that all of us across

03:25:12.566 --> 03:25:16.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
the political spectrum.
Seem so quick to assume
the worst in others

03:25:17.933 --> 03:25:21.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
unless they agree with
us on every single
issue. We start thinking

03:25:23.600 --> 03:25:26.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
that the only way to win
is to scold and shame
and out yell the other

03:25:26.000 --> 03:25:30.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
side. And after a while,
regular folks just tune out.

03:25:31.833 --> 03:25:36.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Or they don't bother to
vote. Now that approach
may work. For the

03:25:38.266 --> 03:25:42.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
politicians who just
want attention. And
thrive on division.

03:25:44.700 --> 03:25:49.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
But it won't work for
us. To make progress
on the things we care

03:25:50.766 --> 03:25:54.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
about. The things that
really affect people's lives.

03:25:55.800 --> 03:26:00.666 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
We We need to remember that
we've all got our blind
spots and contradictions

03:26:02.400 --> 03:26:05.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and prejudices. And
that if we want to win
over those who Aren't

03:26:07.733 --> 03:26:10.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
yet ready to support our
candidates. We need to
listen to their concerns.

03:26:12.166 --> 03:26:16.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And maybe learn something in
the process. Uh After all,

03:26:20.866 --> 03:26:24.166 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
If a parent or grandparent
occasionally says
something that makes

03:26:24.166 --> 03:26:27.166 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
us cringe.

03:26:28.900 --> 03:26:33.366 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
We, we don't automatically
assume they're bad
people. We recognize

03:26:33.366 --> 03:26:37.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
that the world is moving
fast. That they need
time and maybe a little

03:26:37.900 --> 03:26:42.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
encouragement to catch
up. Our fellow citizens
deserve the same grace

03:26:45.700 --> 03:26:48.700 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
we hope they'll extend to us.

03:26:56.866 --> 03:27:00.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
That's how we can build a
true democratic majority.

03:27:02.300 --> 03:27:06.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
One that can get things
done. And by the way
That does not just matter

03:27:08.400 --> 03:27:12.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to the people in this
country. The rest of
the world is watching

03:27:13.066 --> 03:27:15.200 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
to see if we can
actually pull this off.

03:27:20.000 --> 03:27:25.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
No nation. No society
has ever tried to build

03:27:27.133 --> 03:27:31.866 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
a democracy as big. And
as diverse as ours before.

03:27:33.666 --> 03:27:38.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
One that includes people
that Over decades.
They come from every

03:27:38.433 --> 03:27:43.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
corner of the globe. One
where our allegiances
and our community

03:27:44.533 --> 03:27:47.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
are defined not by race or
blood. But by a common creed.

03:27:49.166 --> 03:27:53.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And that's why when we
uphold our values, the
world's a little brighter.

03:27:54.466 --> 03:27:57.566 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
When we don't, The
world's a little dimmer.

03:27:59.366 --> 03:28:03.466 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
And dictators and autocrats
feel emboldened. And
over time we become

03:28:03.466 --> 03:28:08.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
less safe. We shouldn't
be the world's policemen.
And we can't eradicate

03:28:10.133 --> 03:28:14.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
every cruelty and
injustice in the world.
But America can be and

03:28:14.566 --> 03:28:19.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
must be a force for good.
Discouraging conflict.

03:28:20.733 --> 03:28:23.366 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Fighting disease,
promoting human rights.

03:28:25.033 --> 03:28:27.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Protecting the planet
from climate change,
defending freedom.

03:28:29.533 --> 03:28:33.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Brokering peace. That's
what Kamala Harris
believes, and so do most

03:28:33.533 --> 03:28:36.533 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
Americans.

03:28:43.333 --> 03:28:43.533 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Yeah

03:28:49.566 --> 03:28:49.800 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
I

03:28:52.000 --> 03:28:52.766 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
I

03:28:54.233 --> 03:28:59.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I, I, I, I know these ideas.
can feel pretty naive right now.

03:29:02.300 --> 03:29:05.300 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
We live in a time of such.

03:29:08.566 --> 03:29:12.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
With a culture that
puts a premium. On
things that don't last.

03:29:13.966 --> 03:29:18.900 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Money, fame, status. Likes

03:29:20.800 --> 03:29:25.800 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
We chased the approval of
strangers on our phones.
We build all manner

03:29:27.600 --> 03:29:30.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
of walls and fences
around ourselves, and
then we wonder why we feel

03:29:30.266 --> 03:29:35.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
so alone. We don't
trust each other as much
because we don't take

03:29:37.133 --> 03:29:41.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
the time to know each other.
And in that space between us.

03:29:42.966 --> 03:29:46.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Politicians and algorithms teach
us to caricature each other.

03:29:47.600 --> 03:29:51.100 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And troll each other.
And fear each other.

03:29:55.500 --> 03:29:59.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
But here's the good news,
Chicago. All across America.

03:30:00.966 --> 03:30:05.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
In big cities and small towns.
Away from all the noise.

03:30:06.900 --> 03:30:11.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
The ties that bind us
together are still there.
We still coach Little

03:30:13.133 --> 03:30:15.300 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
League and look out for
our elderly neighbors.

03:30:16.933 --> 03:30:20.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
We still feed the hungry
in churches and mosques
and synagogues and

03:30:20.766 --> 03:30:25.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
temples. We share the
same pride when our
Olympic athletes compete

03:30:26.533 --> 03:30:28.466 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
for the gold. Because

03:30:31.100 --> 03:30:36.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Because the vast majority of us
do not want to live in a country

03:30:36.100 --> 03:30:39.100 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
that's bitter and divided.

03:30:41.533 --> 03:30:45.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
We want something better.
We want to be better.

03:30:47.566 --> 03:30:48.533 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
And the joy

03:30:50.266 --> 03:30:52.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And the excitement that
we're seeing around
this campaign tells us

03:30:52.866 --> 03:30:55.833 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
we're not alone.

03:30:58.366 --> 03:31:01.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
You know, I've spent
A lot of time thinking
about this these past

03:31:01.866 --> 03:31:03.066 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
few months because

03:31:04.866 --> 03:31:08.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
As Michelle mentioned,
this summer we lost her
mom. Ms. Marian Robinson.

03:31:10.633 --> 03:31:15.633 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And I don't know that
anybody. has ever loved.
The mother-in-law.

03:31:17.300 --> 03:31:22.233 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Any more than I love
mine. Mostly it's
because she was funny.

03:31:23.533 --> 03:31:28.066 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And wise. And the least
pretentious person I knew.

03:31:30.566 --> 03:31:33.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
That and she always defended me
with Michelle when I messed up.

03:31:37.833 --> 03:31:40.833 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
I'd hide behind her.

03:31:46.966 --> 03:31:49.233 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
But I also think
one of the reasons

03:31:50.966 --> 03:31:55.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Mary and I became so
close was she reminded
me of my grandmother.

03:31:56.633 --> 03:32:00.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
The woman who helped raise me as
a child. And on the surface, the

03:32:02.466 --> 03:32:06.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
two of them did not
have a lot in common.
One was a black woman.

03:32:08.100 --> 03:32:10.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
From right here, south side of
Chicago, right down the way.

03:32:13.466 --> 03:32:18.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Went to Englewood High
School. The other was
a little old white lady

03:32:20.166 --> 03:32:23.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
born in a tiny town
called Peroo, Kansas. I
know there aren't that

03:32:24.366 --> 03:32:27.366 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
many people from Peru.

03:32:30.300 --> 03:32:35.300 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And yet they shared. A
basic outlook on life.

03:32:37.366 --> 03:32:40.466 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
There were strong,
smart, resourceful women.

03:32:42.300 --> 03:32:45.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Full of common sense.
Who regardless of The
barriers they encountered

03:32:46.800 --> 03:32:47.400 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
and

03:32:49.133 --> 03:32:52.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Women growing up in
the 40s and 50s and 6,
they, they encountered

03:32:52.733 --> 03:32:57.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
various. They still went
about their business
without fuss or complaint.

03:32:59.133 --> 03:33:02.466 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
And provided an unshakable
foundation of love
for their children

03:33:02.466 --> 03:33:05.466 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
and their grandchildren.

03:33:07.533 --> 03:33:09.533 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
In that sense, they
both represented

03:33:10.733 --> 03:33:13.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
An entire generation.
of working people

03:33:15.400 --> 03:33:19.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
who through war and
depression, Discrimination
and limited opportunity

03:33:21.500 --> 03:33:25.400 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
helped build this
country. A lot of them
toiled every day at jobs.

03:33:28.333 --> 03:33:31.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
that were often too small for
them. And didn't pay a lot

03:33:34.266 --> 03:33:39.266 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
They willingly went
without. Just to

03:33:41.066 --> 03:33:43.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Keep a roof over the
family's heads just to give
their children something

03:33:43.700 --> 03:33:46.700 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
better.

03:33:48.033 --> 03:33:52.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
But they knew what was true.
They knew what mattered.

03:33:54.833 --> 03:33:59.833 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Things like honesty
and integrity.
Kindness and hard work.

03:34:03.700 --> 03:34:04.466 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
They were

03:34:05.833 --> 03:34:08.733 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
They weren't impressed
with Braggart's or bullies.

03:34:10.466 --> 03:34:13.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
They they didn't think
putting other people
down, lifted you up or

03:34:13.966 --> 03:34:16.766 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
made you strong. They didn't

03:34:18.266 --> 03:34:20.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Spend a lot of time obsessing
about what they didn't have.

03:34:22.500 --> 03:34:26.833 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Instead They appreciated
what they did. They,
they, they, they, they

03:34:26.833 --> 03:34:31.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
found pleasure in simple things.
A card game with friends.

03:34:32.966 --> 03:34:36.100 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
A good meal And laughter
around the kitchen table.

03:34:38.166 --> 03:34:43.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Helping others. And most of
all, seeing their children.

03:34:44.933 --> 03:34:48.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Do things and go places
that they would have never
imagined for themselves.

03:34:55.400 --> 03:34:59.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Whether you are a Democrat
or a Republican or

03:35:01.500 --> 03:35:05.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Somewhere in between.
We have all had people
like that in our lives.

03:35:07.866 --> 03:35:12.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
People like Kamala's
parents who crossed oceans
because they believed

03:35:13.766 --> 03:35:17.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
in the promise of
America. People like Tim's
parents who taught Him

03:35:18.566 --> 03:35:23.433 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
about the importance of service.
Good, hardworking people.

03:35:25.200 --> 03:35:29.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
who weren't famous or
powerful. But who managed
in countless ways.

03:35:31.600 --> 03:35:35.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
To lead this country.
Just a little bit better
than they found it.

03:35:37.866 --> 03:35:38.900 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
As much

03:35:40.500 --> 03:35:44.700 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
As any policy or
program. I believe that's
what we yearn for.

03:35:47.433 --> 03:35:51.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
A return to an America
where we work together.
And look out for each

03:35:51.866 --> 03:35:55.000 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
other. A restoration.

03:35:56.266 --> 03:35:57.066 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Of what

03:35:58.266 --> 03:36:01.566 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Lincoln called on
the eve of civil war.

03:36:04.033 --> 03:36:09.033 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
are bonds of affection.
An America of the
taps what he called

03:36:10.900 --> 03:36:15.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
The better angels of
our nature. That is what
this election is about.

03:36:19.433 --> 03:36:24.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And I believe that's
why if we each do our
part over the next 77

03:36:24.000 --> 03:36:29.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
days. If we knock on
doors, if we make phone
calls, if we talk to

03:36:30.166 --> 03:36:33.066 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
our friends. If we
listen to our neighbors.

03:36:34.733 --> 03:36:38.800 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
If we work like we've
never worked before.

03:36:40.100 --> 03:36:43.366 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
If we Hold firm to
our convictions.

03:36:46.333 --> 03:36:50.433 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
We will elect Kamala Harris
as the next President
of the United States.

03:36:51.633 --> 03:36:51.800 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
T

03:36:54.100 --> 03:36:58.366 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
President of the
United States. Leads up

03:37:00.166 --> 03:37:05.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Who will fight For the
hopeful. Forward looking
America we all believe

03:37:06.800 --> 03:37:10.633 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
in and together we too
will build a country
that is more secure and

03:37:11.700 --> 03:37:15.600 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
more just. More
equal And more free

03:37:17.066 --> 03:37:21.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
So let's get to work. God bless
you. God bless the United States

03:37:21.566 --> 03:37:24.566 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
of America.

03:37:27.966 --> 03:37:31.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Michelle and Barack
Obama returning to center
stage here in Chicago,

03:37:33.400 --> 03:37:35.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
the city where they
launched their history
making political ascent

03:37:35.133 --> 03:37:39.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
some 30 years ago.
Michelle Obama speaking
first with a rousing.

03:37:41.133 --> 03:37:43.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Unvarnished takedown
of Donald Trump, which
electrified this crowd,

03:37:45.766 --> 03:37:47.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Barack Obama with a
full-throated endorsement
of Kamala Harris, the

03:37:47.733 --> 03:37:51.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
former president saying
America is ready for a
new chapter. America

03:37:51.466 --> 03:37:56.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
is ready for a better
story. Let's bring in
our panel here. Judy

03:37:56.133 --> 03:37:59.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Woodruff, Amy Walter,
Jonathan Capehart, David
Brooks. David, we'll

03:37:59.733 --> 03:38:02.866 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
start with you. Reflecting
on you've heard this
evening. Yeah, I

03:38:02.866 --> 03:38:05.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
thought the half hour 45 minutes
between Doug Amhoff and Michelle

03:38:05.933 --> 03:38:09.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Obama was one of the
most gripping 45 minutes
of convention rhetoric

03:38:09.766 --> 03:38:13.566 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
that I've ever encountered.
I thought Doug Eamhof
was funny. He was

03:38:13.566 --> 03:38:17.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
just a tremendous
advertisement for his
wife. So as a personality

03:38:17.800 --> 03:38:21.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
witness, I thought he
was just sensational.
Uh, Michelle Obama, touch

03:38:21.266 --> 03:38:25.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
of magic. It's rare that you get
a speech that is so filled with

03:38:25.633 --> 03:38:29.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
moral uplift that
politics is politics, it's
fine, but I think she

03:38:29.900 --> 03:38:33.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
took us beneath politics to talk
about what really matters, that

03:38:33.233 --> 03:38:37.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
story of the generations and not
just uh you know, a nice person

03:38:37.466 --> 03:38:40.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
hoping your kid does
well, but sitting at
the kitchen table doing

03:38:40.466 --> 03:38:44.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
all the sacrificial
work that goes in the
Jews have a concept of

03:38:44.533 --> 03:38:47.633 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
the door the door from
generation to generation,
and that was just

03:38:47.633 --> 03:38:51.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
a moral theme she tied
through it. And as I
say, it wasn't explicitly

03:38:51.500 --> 03:38:56.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
political, but under a
style of politics that at
its best the Democratic

03:38:56.000 --> 03:39:00.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Party represents, so I
thought those two speeches
were just sensational.

03:39:01.333 --> 03:39:05.366 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Jonathan, what stood out
to you? Can I go last

03:39:09.800 --> 03:39:14.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Amy. You know, you were the one,
Jeff, who said, I hope we don't

03:39:14.100 --> 03:39:18.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
mangle the passing the
torch theme. So I'll do
it for you. I'm gonna

03:39:18.933 --> 03:39:23.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
mangle it, but it was
a throwback, especially
President Obama's,

03:39:25.400 --> 03:39:29.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
he talked about hope and change.
He he's used his don't boo vote,

03:39:30.800 --> 03:39:34.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
you know, for anybody who
followed the 2008, 2012

03:39:35.933 --> 03:39:39.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
campaigns. This was Obama
basically saying I'm giving

03:39:41.600 --> 03:39:45.566 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
over to the next
generation we can pass
that on, but both of them

03:39:47.100 --> 03:39:50.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
were saying is don't take what
we're feeling right now. To be

03:39:52.600 --> 03:39:57.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
everything. This is fun
right now. It's going
to get really hard.

03:39:58.833 --> 03:40:02.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
This was both of their
speeches were directed
at the party faithful.

03:40:03.933 --> 03:40:07.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Um, I thought Michelle
Obama giving a speech
about Donald Trump.

03:40:09.266 --> 03:40:13.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
That the folks in this
hall and Democrats who
are watching have wanted

03:40:13.166 --> 03:40:13.966 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
to hear

03:40:15.733 --> 03:40:17.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
someone like Michelle
Obama give for a long
time, so she gave them

03:40:17.966 --> 03:40:19.800 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
that, but also

03:40:21.600 --> 03:40:25.333 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
gave them this marching
orders. This isn't now
about everything Democrats

03:40:27.066 --> 03:40:31.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
did in 2016 and 2020.
Trump so bad. Oh, we're
not going to win. Oh,

03:40:32.766 --> 03:40:34.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
how are we going to
make it? It's you got
to get out there and you

03:40:34.900 --> 03:40:39.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
got to do the work and.
President Obama also
saying you can win if

03:40:41.366 --> 03:40:45.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
you don't. Also take for granted
the people that may not be with

03:40:47.600 --> 03:40:51.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
us right now. Judy,
what stood out to you
from what you just heard

03:40:51.700 --> 03:40:56.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
so much, uh, so much a
reminder of Barack Obama's
amazing uh oratorical

03:40:58.733 --> 03:41:02.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
skills just holding this room in
the palm of his hand, but so did

03:41:02.266 --> 03:41:06.433 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
his wife. So did Michelle Obama
between the two of them, I don't

03:41:06.433 --> 03:41:10.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
think we've heard a
more effective takedown
of Donald Trump, the

03:41:10.300 --> 03:41:15.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
billionaire, bully who
only cares about himself.
Her line about um

03:41:17.000 --> 03:41:20.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
he did all in his power
to make people fear.
I wrote this. Down to

03:41:20.066 --> 03:41:25.066 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
highly educated successful.
People who happened
to be black, he said,

03:41:26.100 --> 03:41:27.166 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
she said, who's
going to tell him

03:41:28.866 --> 03:41:32.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
that he's the job he's
seeking is a black
job, of course, a play

03:41:32.100 --> 03:41:32.766 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
on what

03:41:34.566 --> 03:41:39.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
President Trump has
said, I thought what Amy,
I agree with Amy, you

03:41:39.433 --> 03:41:43.833 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
from both of them
this urgent plea just
because this has been an

03:41:43.833 --> 03:41:48.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
uplifting week. You've got a lot
of work to do, 78 days, 77 days,

03:41:50.033 --> 03:41:52.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
whatever it is, go out
there and work and the
other thing that struck

03:41:52.266 --> 03:41:57.266 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
me. Coming from President
Obama. Is his as someone
who's been covering

03:41:58.966 --> 03:42:01.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
going around the country
covering our division
how focused he is

03:42:01.466 --> 03:42:05.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
on how divided we are,
how that's hurting us as
a country. It's hurting

03:42:05.700 --> 03:42:10.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
us as Americans, and
he painted it and he
portrayed it as something

03:42:12.033 --> 03:42:14.366 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
that for Democrats it's
something they need to work on

03:42:16.133 --> 03:42:18.666 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
that can that can not
only bring the country
together, it can bring

03:42:18.666 --> 03:42:22.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
people back to the
values that really that
really matter. Jonathan

03:42:22.300 --> 03:42:27.300 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Capehart, final word,
friend. Um, so I agree
with everything that

03:42:27.300 --> 03:42:32.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
everyone said. Um, the political
analysis, um, I can't find fault

03:42:32.300 --> 03:42:36.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
with with anything. I
agree 100%. I'm going
to speak personally.

03:42:37.333 --> 03:42:41.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Um, As an American.
And as a black person.

03:42:43.400 --> 03:42:46.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Michelle Obama's speech and
I'm trying not to look at Amna

03:42:48.633 --> 03:42:51.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
because I'm I have my
handkerchief that Omni
gave me for the holidays,

03:42:53.200 --> 03:42:57.700 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
um. Yesterday I said in
politics people want to be seen.

03:42:59.433 --> 03:43:03.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
They, they want to be
seen. In the way that
politicians talk to them

03:43:03.100 --> 03:43:08.100 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and talk about them.
And when I pulled out
my I the hanky. It was

03:43:09.300 --> 03:43:12.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
when Michelle Obama
said that Kamala Harris,

03:43:14.033 --> 03:43:17.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
you know, we never have
the grace of failing
forward. We never have

03:43:17.600 --> 03:43:22.600 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
the benefit of generational
wealth. Um, if things
don't go our way,

03:43:24.266 --> 03:43:28.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
we, we don't get to
complain. That's how
Michelle Obama lived her

03:43:30.533 --> 03:43:33.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
life, lives her life.
That's how Barack Obama
lives her life. That's

03:43:33.566 --> 03:43:38.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
how I live my life.
And to hear that coming
from the former First

03:43:39.633 --> 03:43:43.333 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Lady. It's just
too. And I'm sorry.

03:43:44.800 --> 03:43:48.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
But I feel seen. And I think
people in this hall feel scene.

03:43:49.900 --> 03:43:53.600 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And I'm certain millions
of Americans feel seen.

03:43:55.266 --> 03:43:59.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
I needed it there.
Jonathan Capehart, don't
apologize. Can't think

03:43:59.566 --> 03:44:03.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
of a better note to end
this conversation on.
A lot to reflect on.

03:44:04.866 --> 03:44:06.966 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
We will have much more
coverage and conversations
in the hours ahead.

03:44:08.666 --> 03:44:10.833 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
