Democratic National Convention Day 2: Key Moments and Kamala Harris' Historic Nomination
Welcome to the AI review room.
Day two of the democratic
national convention.
Juwan, what are you expecting tonight?
What is your highlight of the night?
It's going to be my
highlights.
My highlights is going to be Obama.
Um, and Michelle, the Obama
speaking tonight, haven't
heard Obama speaking a while.
I think he's a great speaker
and I'm looking forward to
hear what he has to say.
Well, last night it was a long night.
I'm hoping that they are a little
bit more organized with their time
because I criticized the Republican
convention because they got
especially thursday and friday night.
They were way behind and they
just dragged it out too long.
And it looks like It was
a little controversy.
It sounds like that some of the,
um, Biden, um, handlers didn't care
for him going outside of primetime.
So, did you hear any of
that, um, this morning?
No,
I didn't hear any of that.
His handlers were disappointed he was
going outside of primetime, so what
did they consider to be primetime?
Yeah, well, it's sort of 10 o'clock hour.
He didn't start until about 11, 15 or so.
So he was, so his, his handlers
were disappointed because of that.
Yeah, they, they pushed him out
an hour too late and everything.
So as you know, there's always,
everybody's got gripe about something.
Nothing's ever.
Well, I couldn't tell because he
was definitely fired up when he
delivered his message last night.
Yeah, and nobody left.
It didn't look like anybody
left and everything.
So, um, just everybody that was
watching probably, um, they, some
people that would typically probably
would watch probably had gone to sleep.
But at this time, what they're doing
is roll call and we are wanting to,
you know, not really follow that.
I think that's kind of, um, boring.
Uh, but I thought we do is, uh, play
some of the, uh, Trump rally today.
Uh, and when they cut over to
speakers, we will, uh, you know,
transfer over to that itself.
So, it is quite interesting to sort
of see what's going on with everybody.
It looks like Pritzker,
the governor of Illinois.
Is doing his little speech there
for the delegates and everything.
So, so far, it seems like it's been a
pretty safe, uh, type of convention.
They were expecting a lot of different
things, but I think they've got everything
under control pretty much at this point.
Any final thoughts before we jump into it?
Now I'm looking forward to a good show.
You know, I want to hear, hear what the
speakers have to say and see if we can,
if we can do the number type of numbers we
did last night, it was monumental for us.
Yeah, well, we do appreciate everybody
watching us and also making comments
because as always, we'd like to hear
both sides or any side that somebody has.
Cause We had some votes for
Kanye West last night too.
So Kanye is not going away, is he?
Uh, I was listening to some
Trump here while they're
going through their roll call.
There's a
reason for that because I
believe in law enforcement.
The other group doesn't, it's
always an honor to be with, uh,
uh, brave men and women in blue and
in brown, frankly, and in various
colors, cause it's not always blue.
But, uh, these are great people
and, uh, you just don't do better.
They're brave and they're under
assault and, uh, they have a lot of
difficulty with the laws of our land.
And we're going to get rid of
that difficulty because they
shouldn't have difficulty.
Our police men and women.
The backs of law abiding
citizens every single day.
They take care of what they have to
do and some very adverse conditions.
And I'm the When we go back to
the White House, you're gonna see
support the likes of which you
haven't seen certainly in four years.
We worked very closely with the police
all over the country, as you know.
Uh, gave them billions of dollars of
excess military equipment that was in
warehouses all over the country that the
Obama administration refused to give.
And it was just, uh, drawing dust.
Magnificent equipment, but it was just
getting old, sitting in warehouses.
And I hope you guys got some of it, right?
Did you?
Because I gave it, and it was billions
and billions, and it was nothing gonna
happen with it except the government
was paying lots of rents all over
the country for big warehouses.
And, uh, it was an honor to have
done it, and it helped a lot of
the departments very, very much.
I want to thank Livingston
County Sheriff Mike Murphy.
Mike, Where is he?
Mike.
Mike.
What a great job.
So respected.
All of them.
This group is highly respected.
Mason County Sheriff, Kim Cole.
Kim, thank you.
Van Buren County Sheriff, Daniel Abbott.
Thank
you, Daniel.
President of the Police Officers
Association of Michigan, James Tiganelli.
James, pick of the wrong side.
Where is, where are you?
Come on over here, James.
Let's go.
Get over here.
Come on.
Is he allowed to stand with you guys?
I don't know.
Stand up there, James.
Thank you, James.
Representatives John
James and John Molinar.
These are great warrior people.
Wherever you are, where's John James?
Oh, look at you guys.
You don't get the best location
because you want your constituents
to be treated so well, right?
Thank you both very much.
We appreciate it.
You've done a great job.
Your next U.
S.
Senator, he's really working hard.
And I just saw a poll that,
uh, Uh, doing very well.
Mike Rogers.
Mike.
Thank you, Mike.
Congressional candidate Paul Young, who
is, uh, polling beautifully, I think.
Paul.
Good luck.
Good luck, Paul.
You're gonna do it.
And Michigan House
Republican leader Matt Hall.
Matt.
Thanks.
Oh, thanks, Matt.
Great.
Great.
You just look, you look the role, Matt.
It's beautiful.
Thank you very much, Matt.
Hey, you're right.
That'll be next, right?
Thank you very much.
Michigan Senate Republican
Leader Eric Nesbitt.
Eric.
Thank you, Eric.
Great.
Nice seeing you again.
Doing a good job.
We're here today to talk about how
we are going to stop the Kamala
crime wave that is going on at levels
that nobody's ever seen before.
And she is, as you know, the most
radical left person ever even thought
of for high office, certainly for
the office of president, people
don't know the real Kamala, but I do.
And people.
They do what I do, they also know,
but, uh, she is so far left that
nobody's can even imagine, and her real
thoughts are there, you know, she's
changed, they call her a flip flopper
at the highest level that they've ever
seen in politics, because she's come
out with policy and, uh, for years.
Defund the police.
You don't mind defunding, do you, fellas?
Would you vote for a defunder?
By the way, your people that you
protect don't want defunders either.
But she's been there until
just recently, but she's always
been for defunding the police.
And the person that she's running
with, Tim Walls, is equally far left.
This is the most far left group.
Nobody's ever seen anything like it.
And the press is giving them a free pass,
and you're not gonna have, you wouldn't,
if it was up to them, you wouldn't
even have the men behind me, people
behind me, representatives behind me,
you wouldn't have them, they wouldn't.
They wouldn't have a job.
They think it's gonna just police itself.
Everything's gonna take care of itself.
Her father is, as you
know, a Marxist professor.
And he obviously did a good job.
But this is where she's coming from.
And, you know, you see
her now with a smile.
She's gotten rid of the laugh
over the last couple of days.
I don't know.
I haven't seen her laugh.
They've told her, don't laugh, please.
But I bet inside she was laughing last
night when she saw the way Joe Biden
left because that was a coup, that
was a coup, and I'm no fan of his at
all, and it started with the debate,
and from that point on, it just got
worse and worse, but that was a coup,
it was a vicious, violent overthrow
of a president of the United States.
Since Comrade Kamala Harris took
office, uh, her administration's
crime statistics show she's presided
over a 43 percent increase in crime.
increase in violent crime.
These are all government numbers.
43 percent increase in violent crime.
I bet the people behind me
don't have anything like that.
Just gets better.
It doesn't get worse, including a 58
percent increase in rape, 89 percent
increase in aggravated assault and
a 56 percent increase in robbery.
The crime in America, the
fact is, is out of control.
I watched last night in amazement as
they tried to pretend that everything
was great, the crime was great, the
border was great, there wasn't a problem
at all, no inflation, no nothing.
There has been a report that the job
numbers over the last period of time were
fraudulent and, uh, they, and I understand
that because I know how the job numbers
go and you want to be a bad person in
high office, you can be a bad person,
but the numbers are going to be revised.
That the job numbers were far less,
at, at, nobody's ever seen 600, 000
to a million people less, jobs less.
And, uh, let's see if that turns out to
be true, but that's what the rumor is.
It was reported by a very,
uh, respected outfit group.
And we'll see what happens, but, uh,
that's a terrible insult to our economy.
Because we were seeing numbers
that were okay, not great.
But now we're seeing numbers that,
when they're adjusted, are a disaster.
But crime in America is out of control.
I'm going to make it
along with the economy.
Inflation, strong borders,
and energy dominance.
My top priority, I'm
including crime in America.
You know, normally that's done locally.
And, uh, we're gonna give the
local people a lot of help, like I
did initially, but not that much.
We had a lot of great numbers
coming out when I was president.
Now we're seeing numbers that
are just absolutely horrific.
The Democrats are holding their convention
in Chicago in order to showcase it.
And yet, as you know, on the 4th of
July weekend, 117 people were shot.
Of the 117, 17 were killed.
This is 4th of July weekend
and 40 were shot last weekend.
I don't know how many were
killed, I assume a lot.
And that's a war zone that's
worse than Afghanistan that
we read about all the time.
Speaking of Afghanistan, the worst
and most embarrassing day in the
history of our country, in my opinion.
We left 13 dead soldiers, 47 obliterated,
just obliterated the arms, the legs, the
face, left people behind, and we left 85
billion dollars worth of equipment behind
for the Taliban to use as it sees fit.
And they're selling a lot of it because
they don't need 700, 000 guns and rifles.
They don't need 72, 000
armor plated vehicles.
They're one of the largest sellers of
military equipment in the world right now.
They're selling our equipment because
we said, they said, by the way,
would have never happened with me.
Abdul would never have done that.
But they said we didn't have anybody
shot after my conversations with the
leader of the Taliban, uh, zero shot.
In 18 months, we had
nobody lost in 18 months.
He knew that he was not going to do that.
I knew that.
But now, uh, you look at
what's happened and it's back.
You know, we would have kept Bagram.
That's the big air, the big air
base, not because of Afghanistan, but
because it's located one hour away.
Where, uh, from where China
makes its nuclear weapons.
So it's one hour away, and we had it,
one of the biggest airbases in the world.
We built it for billions and
billions of dollars many years ago.
Got the biggest runways, the
biggest everything, and we just
walked away from it, gave it to
them, and now China's occupying it.
And I thought that the scene, uh, a
few days ago of the third anniversary,
They call it the defeat of America.
It was one of the ugliest scenes that
I've seen on television in a long time.
I've seen some pretty
bad ones, so have you.
We're witnessing some pretty bad ones.
Um, they had a parade, where the parade
was, uh, all of our equipment, a lot
of our equipment, brand new, beautiful,
armor plated trucks coming down a road.
and people cheering.
Not that many people cheering,
actually, but there were people
cheering, but they were making us
look very bad because we have a fool.
A fool is a president.
They lied last night about
things that nobody's ever seen.
They lied about soldiers at a gravesite.
They lied about Charlottesville.
They lied about, uh, inflation.
The inflation's been absolutely horrible.
Absolutely horrible.
And everyone knows that we
had virtually no inflation.
They had 9%, but that wasn't
including some of the things that
went up more than anything else.
They gave themselves a pass.
But mothers will no longer be losing
their children because of weak liberal
policies and politicians that have given
up on securing a Crime free America.
We want a crime free America.
We're gonna stop violent
crime in the United States.
And it's people like this that can
do the job better than anybody.
They do the job justly and fairly.
But nobody, there's
nobody like these people.
Thank you.
There's nobody like them.
So, uh, they can do it.
They have to be given back their,
uh, rights and their dignity.
They have to be allowed to do their job.
We're going to be, uh, guaranteeing
immunities and, uh, where they, we're,
and I'm not looking necessarily just here.
We have police in various areas
that are pretty rough areas.
If they do their job, if they're diligent
in doing their job, they go after the
police officer rather than the criminal.
They lose their house, they lose
their pension, they lose their
family, they lose everything.
They lose everything.
And we're going to make
sure that doesn't happen.
Over the past four years, the Marxist
left has waged a vicious war on
law enforcement in our country.
They've taken away the dignity
and the spirit and the life of
some of these police officers,
and that's why you see it.
The crime is so out of
control in our country.
I mean, you have cities, I will
say this, the top 25, almost
all are run by Democrats.
And, uh, they have very similar policies.
It's just insane.
But you can't walk across the
street to get a loaf of bread.
You get shot, mugged, you get
raped, you get whatever it may be.
And you've seen it, and I've seen it.
And it's time for a change.
We have to bring back our cities.
We have these cities that are great
cities, where people are afraid to
live in them, and they're fleeing the
cities of Our country, what we would
consider, what we did consider, you
know, interestingly, like New York.
When I left for Washington, New
York was, we had a very bad Mayor de
Blasio, but he wasn't there that long.
And he couldn't ruin what took
place, but, uh, we had a city that
was so wonderful and so thriving.
And just in a few short
years, that changed.
New York State is doing terribly.
I heard the governor last night speaking
so viciously and violently about me,
but she doesn't speak about, you know,
what they've done to destroy the state.
The law enforcement has been decimated.
The judge is what's going on
with the judges in New York.
Nobody, there's no justice.
We're not getting justice in New York.
And yet she speaks, uh, so
bravely about things that she
shouldn't be speaking about.
But you look at radical
liberal Kamala Harris.
She's been the ringleader for this
anti crime and the anti police crusade.
It's a real Anti police crusade.
They have, uh, they have, they
just have it out for the police.
Nobody knows why.
I don't understand why
from a common sense.
I like to say the Republican party
is now the party of common sense.
Conservative.
Yeah, I guess conservative.
It doesn't matter.
It's the party of common sense.
We want to have borders.
We want to have strong police protection.
We want a military that can protect us.
We want great school, school choice.
Ideally.
We want to have.
We want to have a good life.
We want to be safe.
But let's review, uh, Kamala's
pro crime, anti police record.
She repeatedly endorsed defunding the
police, which I said, and it's at a
level that, and it never goes away.
You know, when you're a defunder or when
you are, uh, even a politician, your first
thought usually is the thought that you
go, if she ever had a chance, she would,
she would, uh, do whatever she could to,
uh, Cause that's where her spirit is.
That's where her heart is.
And we can't have a president like that.
She sponsored a bill to strip police
officers of legal protection, leaving
you at the mercy of the lawless
Marxist prosecutors who want to
lock up police officers for sport.
They lock them up in many cases long
before they lock up the criminal.
And they go after them too violently.
They don't go after the criminals.
Murderers are released.
Two hours after the murder.
She wants to bankrupt the police
unions, she wants to destroy policemen
in general, and they ruin your lives,
your jobs, and they ruin everything
you've lived for, everything you've
felt that you want to make great,
you want to make our country great.
When I'm president of the United States
again, we will never even think about,
or mention the words, defund the police.
We'll never think about that again.
It's gotta be put away.
It's a bad, it's a bad situation.
It's a bad concept.
The concept is so bad.
It's so chilling and so horrible to think
that, uh, what we should be thinking
about is the opposite of defunding.
Refunding, you call it.
We'll refund, but we
want to help the police.
They have a very dangerous job.
Lately I see if somebody, I was with
a great family a few months ago,
opens the door to a car and gets shot.
And they have all sorts of
protection for the people in the car.
You can't have your gun
even close to being drawn.
You don't know what's happening.
A lot of the windows are dark so
you don't know who's in there.
But the door opens and just gets shot.
Great police officer.
And many, many cases.
A dangerous, it's a dangerous business.
And we have to give them protection and
we have to give them love and respect.
And that's what we're going to do.
We were doing it.
And, uh, they're not doing it now.
We'll give our law enforcement heroes
the kind of protection and the resources
that they, uh, so dearly deserve.
And I will crack down on local Marxist
DAs who refuse to enforce the law.
They refuse to put murderers in jail.
And you see it all over.
As the district attorney,
Kamala Harris was one of the
worst and one of the first
Marxist prosecutors in America.
She She said that, uh, and some people
said she was the godmother of both
Sanctuary Cities, cause this was a
while ago, this was when it all started.
And that horrible shoplifting epidemic.
She shielded illegal alien
crack dealers from deportation.
She fought like hell to have
crack dealers not deported.
She came up with the concept of 950.
And below, you don't even get prosecuted.
950.
So guys are walking into
stores with calculators to
figure out, do you know that?
They have calculators.
They're adding it up.
They want to make sure they're under 950.
But it didn't matter really,
because they didn't prosecute
the ones that went over either.
She ignored the pleas of victims
families, members, and refused to
seek the death penalty against.
As an example, an illegal
alien, MS 13 gang member.
These are the worst gangs in the world.
Who murdered an innocent man and his
two sons for absolutely no reason.
They said, why did you do it?
He said, I felt like it.
I felt like it.
So, uh, when Kamala until recently
was called a Marxist prosecutor,
she didn't even disclaim the title.
She sort of liked it as the
California attorney general.
She redefined child sex trafficking,
assault with a deadly weapon
and rape of an unconscious
person as a nonviolent crime.
were redefined by her as non violent.
Kamala Harris supports
abolishing cash bail nationwide.
Cash bail has been a disaster.
When you abolish the no cash,
no cash, don't worry about cash.
You murdered somebody.
Don't worry about it.
That was really the beginning of
problems for New York, big problems
for New York, but elsewhere also.
But it means releasing violent
criminals immediately after arrest.
No money involved.
Don't worry about it.
Go home, enjoy yourself.
Many of them disappear.
You never find them again.
Many of them immediately
start killing again.
It's just a crazy situation.
She supports ending jail
sentences for parole violators.
She considers a parole
violation not to be serious.
When the violent mobs of looters
and anarchists tried to burn
down Minneapolis in 2020.
Kamala Harris raised money for
bail to bail out the arsonists and
the rioters and the killers people
were killed many people were killed
compare that to J6 nobody was killed.
Nobody was killed.
There weren't fires set.
They burned down the city They were
burning down Minneapolis and she went out
and not only did she She worked a little
bit with them, she worked a lot with them.
She worked to get them out and
to make them, to set them free.
One of the criminals Kamala helped bail
out of jail was Shawn Michael Tillman, one
of the worst, a dangerous repeat offender,
had a horrible record of violence.
With Kamala's help, she was set
free, he was set free, he soon
went on to murder a man on a train
platform for no reason whatsoever.
In St.
Paul shooting him six times
in the head and in the torso.
No reason whatsoever.
What's the reason?
No reason.
Just felt like it.
Kamala Harris will deliver crime,
chaos, destruction, and death.
If she's allowed to be the president
of the United States, you'll see levels
of crime that you've never seen before.
I will deliver
law, order, safety, and peace,
and I will protect those who
A lead, none of which you hear
and half of which you see.
These people protect us.
These are unbelievable people.
They protect us.
We have to protect them.
We have to give them hope because
so many are leaving the forces.
I can't speak for this group because
it looks, I'd love to work for them.
I would be joining them in two minutes.
It looks like a nice job.
They're so they look because they've
handled themselves and crime and
everything else in a stern way.
And it's probably a lot easier to do.
Maybe they should, maybe we
should switch them, move them
around to different territories
of your state or of our nation.
And let some other guys take.
Would you like that, Faust?
I have a feeling you don't want that.
I could, I don't want to embarrass you.
I don't want to say any particular
names of locations, but I can
think of a big one in this state.
I'd love to have them working there
during the election, I can tell you.
But, uh, but no, but they have it, they
have it all very much under control.
And that's the way it should be.
So we're going to make a record
investment in hiring, retention,
and training of police officers.
We're losing tremendous
numbers of police officers.
These are men and women that want to be
police officers, and they just don't.
They're just leaving.
We're going to get you reinforcements and
we're not going to be doing the negative.
Like let's pay them much less
or let's defund entirely.
Let's pay them.
There's a movement on now.
We won't defund, but we'll
pay them much less money.
No, no, it's, uh, I've never
realized how dangerous a job,
how dangerous a job it was.
I have some papers here where if you
watch the event last night, this is by
the way, my all time favorite chart.
Because if you watched last night, you
wouldn't know the border was so bad.
This was, right here, this arrow
on the bottom, lowest ever.
This is made by Border Patrol.
That's the lowest ever we had for
illegal aliens coming into our country.
Jim's not like us, Juwan.
That sounds like a song, isn't it?
This chart is very dear to
my heart for another reason.
Kendrick is, uh, all over it.
Let me see, let me see.
Um, but, uh, it says, it says a lot.
And, uh, we had a couple of
instances last night where things
were mentioned, so I got it.
Uh, did crime rise under
Trump and fall under Biden?
They said it rose under Trump and ro
and they go, no, the opposite is true.
Take a look at this here.
It said, is it true that crime rise
under Trump and fall under Biden?
No, comma, the opposite is true.
This was a study group that
went out and doesn't care.
They do the numbers.
And there was another one that
a historical comparison of the
collapse of law enforcement in U.
S.
cities, the drop.
And arrest rates over the last
few years is without precedent.
Lowest arrest rates we've ever seen.
They don't arrest people anymore.
And, uh, they shouldn't arrest
people for saying The election
was rigged, but they like that.
They go, they go after guys
like me, but they don't go
after people that kill people.
It's a shame what's happened
in our country, but we're
going to turn it around.
We're going to win big, and
we're going to turn it around.
We're going to turn it around fast.
Thank you.
Thank you.
We'll bust up and dismantle the gangs,
savage criminal networks, and bloodthirsty
cartels, and we will stop the fentanyl,
and We'll make sure that Kamala Harris
has, uh, and all of the people that
she's allowed to come across the border.
Don't forget, she was the border czar.
Whether she wants to hear
it or not, she still is.
Thank you.
In fact, she could do it right now.
You know, they like to talk.
It's all nonsense.
Donald Trump stopped a bill.
I was opposed to it.
So was everyone else.
It was the weakest bill.
Under that bill, millions of people
would have been allowed to come in.
This was a weak bill.
But, you didn't need a bill.
I didn't have a bill.
I said, close the border.
And that's how we got to those numbers.
The lowest ever recorded.
I said, close the border.
I didn't have a bill.
I didn't need a bill.
She doesn't need a bill.
Biden doesn't know where he is.
So, where is he?
Whatever happened to him?
He got out.
He got out.
He's now sunbathing.
He's in a beach someplace.
But, uh, all he would have
to do is president, or her.
They say close up the
border, and it's closed.
But they don't want to close the border.
Because when they first took over, I
had built hundreds of miles of wall,
and I had 200 miles of wall in addition
to what I said I was going to do.
Because certain areas needed it, as
we closed areas, other areas became,
uh, very, very strong, in terms
of people wanting to come through.
So I bought the border.
Two hundred additional miles.
It would have taken them
about three weeks to erect it.
We were all set to erect it.
Then we had a terrible
election take place.
Terrible election, as you,
and everybody here knows that.
And, uh, I realized that
they don't want to do it.
And they actually sold that, and that was
designed to the highest specifications
of, when you look at the steel, it's
steel, it's concrete, five thousand
pound concrete inside, and then rebar.
And it also has a lot of
technology, wires and things in
it for tech, high technology.
It was designed to the highest
specs of the border patrol.
I want actually concrete plank.
I would have done a beautiful job
with precast like you haven't.
Parking garages, long span, it's
called long span precast, but they
had to be able to see through.
I understand that.
They needed certain things that
you can't do with concrete plank.
So we did that and, uh, very expensive
to do because you needed all sorts.
In other words, they wanted the
steel, they wanted the concrete.
It's all different methods of very
hard to cut it, very hard to do it
when you have different substances.
And then a very powerful rebar inside.
And what happened is, as soon
as they came in, they sold it
for five cents on the dollar.
They sold this stuff for five,
somebody made a lot of money because
that steel is very valuable, but they
sold all of that, hundreds of miles.
Look at that, Donald
Trump is watching, huh?
Where they stacked it up in
an area because Texas wanted
to use it and finish the job.
We had, we built hundreds of miles.
But Texas wanted it.
They would have paid for it.
They didn't, they refused
to sell it to Texas.
They refused to sell it to Arizona.
And, uh, they refused
to sell it to anybody.
They sold it to the junkyards, I guess.
And, uh, five cents on the dollar.
On the day, on day one,
I will seal the border.
I will stop the invasion.
We had the border sealed.
I had Mexico.
I had thousands of soldiers from Mexico.
Free of charge.
I said to the president, you must give us
soldiers because they're coming through.
The caravans are coming
through your country.
No, no, no, I cannot do that.
I said, yes, you'll do that.
If you don't do that, I'm
gonna put tariffs on your cars.
And he said, I will do that, sir.
And he did it.
He did it very quickly.
And it really, that, you,
you guys heard all about it.
It made a great difference.
We had thousands of Mexican
soldiers guarding our border.
I said, look, they're
coming through your country.
You have to guard your southern border,
which is their border on the other side.
And all of a sudden they started
and we had it we had remain in
mexico, it's called A remain in
Mexico policy, which we never had.
And they stayed in
Tijuana, different places.
Hundreds of thousands of people.
They didn't come into our
country until they were checked.
And then, if they were
good, we let them in.
If they weren't, we wouldn't let them in.
And we worked well with Mexico, actually.
But now, Mexico is really
taking advantage of our country.
They want 200, they want
billions of dollars just to talk.
They wouldn't say that with me.
They wanted, I think, two
billion dollars to talk, right?
We will talk.
We want two billion dollars
before we even start.
That wouldn't happen with me.
I would say, Oh, really?
Is that right?
That's the end of trade with Mexico.
And, uh, they would say, Sir,
we will give you two billion.
How about that?
So I'll send Kamala's
illegal aliens back home.
We have a problem because, uh,
when I came in, they wouldn't
accept MS 13 gang members.
I told the generals we're
gonna get the gang members out.
ICE and Border Patrol, the job these
people do, but ICE would go into the
country, get the MS 13 gang members out.
The meanest, the most vicious.
They kill people with knives.
They killed two young students walking
to school, two beautiful young 16
year old girls walking to school.
They killed them up and chopped
them up into pieces with knives.
Dead.
And, uh, ice goes in and, and they go
into those packs of rough, rough people
and ice is rougher than they are.
These are incredible, brave patriots.
I, a lot of people wouldn't want that job.
You see fists and feet, you see
everything flying and then two minutes
later they stand up and they grab
them and they throw them into what
they used to call a paddy wagon.
They put them into planes,
they take them out.
The countries wouldn't take
them back under President Obama.
And I said, really, they're
not going to take them back?
Well, if they're not going to take them
back, I'm going to stop paying them.
I said, how much money do
we pay these countries?
El Salvador, Honduras,
Guatemala, and others.
They said, how much money do we pay?
750 million.
I said, good, inform them
we're not paying them anymore.
And the following morning, I got
calls from all of these countries.
Sir, sir, there must
be a misunderstanding.
We would love to take them back.
We would love to have MS 13.
We would love to have MS
13 back in our country.
It would be a great
honor to have them back.
And you know, before we get
too far, we're almost finished.
But before we get too far, I want
to tell you that we have criminals
from all over the world pouring
into our country right now.
Your job will never be obsolete.
It will never be obsolete.
Unfortunately, it'd be nice if we
could We're definitely getting some
interesting comments now.
We got, you know, Trump,
and, uh, pretend Trump.
Millions of people But there's not
many Harris supporters online tonight.
What's going on?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I, I, I suspect that
that will change later.
I
don't know.
We'll see.
A lot of people are going to tune in to
see Obama.
Obama's
speech.
Yeah.
Yeah, the roll call is boring as hell.
A lot of people coming from the
Congo in Africa.
The Congo.
Rough, rough, rough.
And they're, uh, prisoners.
They're prisoners.
And we say, where do
you come from, Africa?
Where in Africa?
Prison?
What did you do?
We don't want to say.
They turn out to be murderers.
These are rough.
These are rough people.
So, Derek
says, why does the DNC look like a
bunch of people perpetually have trauma?
From
South America, yes, but
from all over the world.
That's interesting.
They come from all over the world.
insane asylums and many are terrorists.
So we have prisoners, mental
patients, mental institution patients.
Looks like there are supporters for
Obama and definitely some people that
are not supporters of Obama here.
We know where they are approximately,
but we don't know too much,
but we know they're the worst.
We have the worst terrorists in the world.
Pouring into our country and she's
the president and wants to be the
president of the United States.
She's vice president She could do it.
She's in charge of the border.
She could have closed up the
border She should have it up.
They could have told
Mexico if you don't do it.
We're not gonna do something.
We're not gonna have trade We're not gonna
deal with you We're not gonna let you sell
your cars into the United States at these
ridiculous, bro Would they took 32 percent
of our car industry over many years?
They took it out of Detroit, they took
it out of different places, but they
took it, and they took it big from this
state, from South Carolina, from a lot
of different places, they took 32%,
and I think now the number is bigger.
You know, I don't know if you know, that
they're building some of the biggest car
plants in the world right now in Mexico,
wouldn't happen with me, right now in
Mexico, and China's the one building
them, and they think they're gonna build,
Make these cars and then release them
into the United States without tax.
It's not going to happen.
We'll put a hundred percent to
a two hundred percent tariff.
We're not going to let it
happen because all of our jobs
from your state will be gone.
And I watched this union head.
He's an incompetent guy.
He's approving, for what he did,
for what he's allowed, every job,
every autoworker here will be
out of a job within three years.
I was thinking the same thing.
God, if I had to stay
in there, oh my gosh.
They're going to an all electric policy.
Well, we have more liquid gold
under our feet than any country in
the world, but we don't have for
what you need for an electric car.
But China does, and its territories do,
and we're not going to let it happen.
But they're building some of the
biggest plants, and I have a friend
who builds plants, and some of the
biggest in the world, I think he's
doing them, are being built in Mexico.
You know, this.
And they're going to sell cars.
This
is a much more calmer Trump right now.
Not going to
happen.
Delivering the message.
And I told him, I said, you
better hope I don't win.
You know, always dangerous
to say these things.
Maybe that's why I get shot.
Not a lot of flareups shot.
Other people don't.
Right.
John, James, Paul, cool.
And collective.
Probably why I get shot at other people,
they, they'll protect other people
'cause they can't believe they got so up.
They said DNZ is trash.
Oh, okay.
To do the right thing.
The borders are Kamala Harris has allowed
hoards of illegal, illegal alien criminals
to literally stampede into our country.
We're gonna end that on day one.
We're gonna close our border, we're
gonna get all of the bad ones out.
And we're gonna get them out fast.
In Shelby Township, Michigan, earlier this
year, a 32 year old, previously deported
illegal alien monster, was arrested
for repeatedly sexually assaulting
a young girl under the age of 13.
Local law enforcement has described
the crimes as absolutely horrific.
If he could stay on meth, it'd
be dangerous victims with his
calm tone, including death.
You can't stop lying.
young girls.
That was a good observation.
St.
Joseph County, Michigan and illegal
alien was recently charged with
breaking into a home and sexually
assaulting no teleprompter.
Looking down at the paper, very bad.
Assaulting well in Mississippi.
Just days ago, an illegal alien
child Predator was charged with
raping a 10-year-old boy and.
There are cases where they were raping
10 year old boys and girls, and in many
cases they were dead, they were killed.
Last week in Coney Island, two Kamala
migrants were arrested for the rape
of a 46 year old woman, a woman who
was loved by so many people, throwing
her to the ground and raping her
over and over again, and then working
her over with a knife to her throat.
One of them had previously been
arrested for raping another woman,
but He was shielded from deportation
by the New York City Sanctuary Laws,
which Kamala strongly supports.
She wants it very much.
The woman said, he didn't want
to rape me, he wanted to kill me.
She thought she was dead.
She survived, but she
thought she was dead.
She said, he didn't want to
rape me, he wanted to kill me.
This is what we're
allowing into our country.
These are And then you hear,
oh no, the people coming in,
they're much less violent than
the people Hey, that's not right.
They're much more violent.
And that, you know, they make a hat.
And that, you Tupac got into the
conversation.
I don't know how Tupac got into it.
Oh,
no.
I didn't realize you were, uh, Tupac
there, man, I need to advertise
that on the, uh, show here.
I
think that women living in the
suburbs, I keep hearing about the
suburban woman doesn't like Trump.
Well, I think it's a fake poll
because why would they like me?
I'm going to, I keep the suburbs safe.
I stopped low income towers from
rising right alongside of their house.
And I'm keeping the aliens
away from the suburbs.
I, I think that they like me a lot.
I think it's a lot of fake polls.
We've seen a lot of fake
polls over the years.
I was not supposed to win anything.
And we won the big one.
We won it.
and did a lot better the second
time than I did the first.
Women want to have safety.
They want to have a strong military.
They want to have a strong police force.
They want to be in their house
and they want to be safe.
They don't want to be, have people
pouring into their doors and you
can't do anything about it, right?
So I think that that's, um, I
think that's the number one thing.
I hope they like my personality.
I have a nice personality.
But to me it wouldn't be very
important, the personality.
They want to be, uh They want to be
safe, and they want people like this
happy, and they want people like this
taken care of properly, because those
are the people that keep them safe.
So we'll shut down all deadly sanctuary
cities throughout the country, because
all they do is they shield criminals.
I mean, they basically shield
criminals from prosecution.
I will shift massive portions of
federal law enforcement to Trump is
a national treasure that needs to be
locked up immigration enforcement.
We're going to close that's
an interesting twist.
And we are going to just so you
understand, I am not a radical at all.
I'm just a common sense person
that was successful in what I
did because of the same thing.
We are going to let people and we
want people to come into our country.
A lot of people, we need them.
We need them for jobs.
We need them for everything.
We want people to come in, but they
have to come in through a process.
They have to come in legally.
And we can let a lot of them come
in, but John, we want them to
come in to our country legally.
We don't want to let people come in
who've murdered 19 people and then
you hire that person in a plant
and all of a sudden you notice that
people are being killed all over town.
We want them to come in legally.
On day one we will begin the largest
domestic deportation operation
in the history of our country,
bigger than Dwight Eisenhower.
Dwight Eisenhower was very, he was sort
of a moderate person, but he hated when
people poured into our country and he
had, he was very strong on deportation.
We will Remove all criminal
aliens immediately.
All of the criminals, we start with that.
We're going to get them out of here fast.
Nothing good is going to
happen with thousands of
terrorists being in our country.
You know, we had one month where
border patrol was actually, um, does
a chart and I don't believe this.
I love it in a certain way,
but I don't, they said in 2019
zero zero terrorists came in.
Now, I don't believe that it's
an awfully good statistic.
But it was very few that came in.
We were very tough on that.
We had everybody checked so carefully, and
they added actually in 2019 they had zero.
Now you have thousands of
terrorists coming into our country.
Thousands of terrorists.
These are the people that blew
up the World Trade Center.
Bad things will happen.
And if I'm elected, we're going to get
them the hell out of here, and we're going
to get them out of here fast, very fast.
And I told you that, uh, that other
countries who really, um, they
put, they put their people into
groups, they send them up here.
And, uh, by the thousands.
The caravans, I think it was the name
that I came up with, I don't know, maybe
somebody will say he's lying about that.
Somebody else used the term 14 days
earlier, but we came up because it
just seemed like an appropriate term.
It's a caravan of thousands of people.
We have one caravan coming up right now.
Thousands of people that
go right into the country.
But I call these, they wouldn't take the
MS 13 people back or other criminals back.
And the general said, we're just
not able to do it, sir, because
they won't take them back.
They put planes on the runways so
that you couldn't land the plane.
They'd block up the bus lane so
you couldn't bring the buses,
and you couldn't get them back.
And when I told them that they
wouldn't get any more money, I said,
let them know they're delinquent.
They broke in the deal.
We're not going to get any more money.
We've paid them for years,
hundreds of millions of dollars.
The next morning, all three countries
called me like clockwork separately, sir.
Is there a misunderstanding?
I understand that perhaps
you would like to talk to us.
I said, yeah, you're sending people into,
and they're sending them by the way.
They are saying they don't want them.
They're sending them.
All of the countries are sending them.
And now they're coming in
because of her, because she's so
pathetic and weak at the border.
The worst job, the worst border czar
in history, I can tell you that.
Whether she's a czar or just in charge
of the border, it doesn't matter.
But they're sending them in levels
that we've never seen before, and
they're destroying our country.
But they all said, all three, it was
almost like identical conversations.
It was, sir, uh, is there anything we can
do to make up for this misunderstanding?
I said, yep.
You take your MS 13, and you take your
gang members, and you take your criminals
and your drug dealers, we're sending them
back, and we're sending them back today.
And we sent thousands and
thousands of people back.
This has stopped for years.
Under Bush it stopped, and under
Obama is, uh, but this had been taking
place for years, and I only found out
if I said that's good, get him out.
I don't want to put him in our jails
because we put him in our jails.
What are we gonna do?
Keep him for 50 years, 60
years, and the expense?
The really bad ones, we did do
that, though, however, because, you
know, we don't want him coming back.
But all of them said, Sir, we would
be delighted to take MS 13 back.
This would be a great honor.
They're such lovely people.
And we took them out by the thousands.
We took MS 13, ICE, took MS
13 out of our country by the
thousands and thousands, and they
received them, and that's the way.
It's just another little story,
but it's a story that's very
important, because I can't see a
guy like Biden making that call.
Can you?
Do you think Biden thinks at night,
Gee, how are we going to get MS 13 out?
He doesn't know.
He's alive.
He didn't know he's alive.
And this one is just a Marxist.
I mean, she's a, she's a Marxist
communist person and we're not
ready for a communist president.
Okay, we're not ready for it.
We're gonna destroy our country.
Under my leadership, no community will
be surrendered to violent criminals.
No citizen will be TrumpCats,
uh, shout out from Australia.
Migrant crime.
We have a new form of crime.
It's called migrant crime.
And it's probably more vicious
than The crime that we already
have, which is pretty vicious.
These people are vicious and please
don't let anyone convince you that our
criminals and we have more crime, they
are sending massive number of criminals.
And you've heard me say this before.
Venezuela crime is down 72
percent 72 because they've taken
their criminals out of Caracas.
They've taken their criminals out
of All of their cities, all of
their areas, all of the country,
and they're sending them to us.
And I'm amazed that they're not doing
it quicker, to be honest with you.
It's happening fast.
They're also emptying out the jails.
And this is true all over
the, all over the world.
It's like Europe loves Harris.
So she's got some support
from other countries.
Criminals from off the streets.
They're taking their drug dealers
and their crime rates are down at
levels that nobody's ever seen before.
And everyone says, Oh, so and so's doing
a great job running in such a country.
No, they're not.
They're just very intelligent.
I would do it if I were them.
I would be, I would do it much faster.
I can't believe they still have some left.
But they, their jails are
getting to be very empty.
And what they're doing is they're
literally dropping them in, they're
bussing them in, and they're
bringing them in, and they're
saying don't ever come back.
If you come back, you get
the death penalty, or if you
come back, you get killed.
Don't ever come back.
And you see the crime
statistics are unbelievable.
If you look at the jails, the jails are,
they've never been so low in terms of,
world, I'm talking all over the world.
Because they're sending their criminals
to the United States of America and
they're saying don't ever come back.
And their jails are being emptied and
their criminals are being taken off the
streets and their crime rates are
plummeting.
But that's what we want for our country.
So we're sending those people back.
And these are the people that can do it.
So we're going to have a
reformed Department of Justice.
We'll once again be a friend and
partner to our great local police
and police officers general.
And we'll, we'll be there.
We'll be working with victims of crime
very closely, but we'll not be working
with the criminals that commit the crime.
We're going to change it around.
Right now, the criminal has a lot
more respect within our Department
of Justice than the victims.
We're going to be
working with the victims.
We're going to get the gangsters, the
drug dealers, the dangerous offenders
behind bars, and we're going to get
them, ideally, out of our country.
Ideally, except in extreme cases.
We have some extreme cases where
they've murdered many people.
We're And in that case, we want to,
we want to make sure they're away.
But the amount of crime that
we have is unbelievable.
And the lack of crime that these other
places, it just makes so much sense.
Doesn't it?
That's all common sense too.
They're taking their, their criminals
and they're bringing them to the
United States and they look so great.
And cities like Caracas, which
was a very dangerous place to be.
These are cities that have opened up.
They have new life.
But our, our country is suffering
and, and, you know, they just got here
over the last two years, mostly over
the last couple of years during this
administration, during our great borders
are who wants to be our president.
They'll be laughing.
Watch president Xi will be laughing.
Putin will be laughing.
They'll all be laughing.
By the way, the war with Russia would
have never started with Ukraine would
have never started if I was president.
October 7th would have never happened.
Iran was broke.
They had no money for Hamas.
They had no money for Hezbollah.
This is a very dangerous
time that we're in.
It's dangerous in terms of crime
and all, but it's very dangerous in
terms of a possible World War III.
We're very close to World War
III, and people don't realize it.
We're closer than we've ever
been, I think, ever since World
War II, but this would be the
war of wars because of weaponry.
This isn't, as I say, two army tanks going
back and forth shooting at each other.
The level of power, the level
of weaponry that there is in
the world today is It's so bad.
It's so dangerous.
It's so bad.
And you need the right
person to be president.
You know, we had no war when I was
president, except that I totally defeated
100 percent of the ISIS caliphate.
Everyone said it would take five years.
It took me, like, about four weeks.
Because we have a great military.
We have great generals.
Not the ones you see on television.
Not the ones that did
the Afghanistan botchery.
But we have great military people.
I know them.
And they're never going woke.
You know, you keep hearing
our military is going woke.
The top people would like to see it.
But it's never going to.
These are not people.
Just like these people will never be woke.
Do you promise you'll never be woke?
I don't see a lot of woke.
There's not a lot of woke this week.
I don't think so.
But, uh, we're going to stand up for
a Citizens of America, we're going
to, uh, we're going to be really, I
think, an inspiration to the world,
but we have to start by remedying
a situation that was caused by
somebody that right now is running
for president of the United States.
She would be a disaster as president.
I love our country.
I didn't need this.
I didn't have to do this.
I didn't need to get indicted
by any time I fly over a state.
They indict you.
Got indicted more than the
great Alphonse Capone, right?
And nothing.
My father's looking down,
my mother's looking down.
He was such a good boy.
I don't know what happened,
but I didn't need this.
I had a beautiful life, but to me, I
wouldn't change it for the world because
we're going to take this country.
We're going to make it safe again, and
we're going to make America great again.
And I want to thank everybody for
being here and God bless you all.
Thank you.
Very well composed.
You're very well composed.
Yeah.
Yep, so let's jump into the DNC.
It looks like they're near the
end of the roll call, which
I always find very boring.
Bye to let's listen in because they're
it looks like they're at Wyoming.
So we're getting to the end here
The great state of Minnesota.
How do you cast your vote?
My name is Hans Storvik and Tim Walls was
my neighbor, coach, and favorite teacher.
We were excited to go to
his classroom every day.
If you've ever been in high
school, you know that can be rare.
He opened our eyes to the world.
He taught us how to talk about
global issues with respect,
curiosity, and kindness.
Even and especially when we disagreed.
But he wasn't just a great teacher.
He was also a great neighbor and friend.
In fact, when he was in the midst
of a budget battle as governor
of our state, he still found time
to attend my brother's funeral.
Mr.
Walls means the world to my family.
He's always been there for us.
And that's how I know he'll always
be there for you as vice president.
Thank you, Han.
Minnesota, let me hear you!
There, there you go.
Fourteen years in the National Football
League taught me a lot about leadership.
A good leader cannot be selfish.
He has to look out for his team.
Coach Walsh is as unselfish as they come.
He has led Minnesota with
honesty and integrity.
And in November, Minnesota
is going to send Tim Walz and
Kamala Harris to the White House.
Let's go!
Woo,
they're excited.
I'm Amy
Klobuchar.
The senator from the great
state of Minnesota, where nearly
everyone votes, and purple reigns!
Montana's men from the
great state of Minnesota!
The home of the next Vice President
of the United States, Tim Walz!
Minnesota, we cast 10 votes
present, and we deliver 81 votes!
For Kamala Harris and Tim
Waltz!
Ooh, Tim present means
they didn't vote for her.
Must be California, yep, the final one.
Who is going to be Tim Waltz?
I'm gonna have Kendrick come
out and say they not like us.
The great
state of California, how
do you cast your vote?
Oh,
Tupac.
Okay.
My name's Governor Gavin Newsom,
from the great state of Nancy Pelosi.
I come from a state like our nation of
dreamers, of doers, of entrepreneurs, of
innovators, that prides itself on being on
the lead and cutting edge.
California is the most diverse state
in the world's most diverse democracy.
And we pride ourselves, we pride
ourselves on our ability to live
together and advance together
and prosper together across every
conceivable and imaginable difference.
Oh, they cut Tupac off for him.
Okay.
We pride ourselves most on,
is that we believe the future
happens in California first.
All my life I had to fight.
And Democrats, I've had the privilege
for over 20 years to see that future
taking shape with a star in Alameda
courtroom by the name of Kamala Harris.
I saw that star.
I saw that star fighting for
criminal justice, racial justice,
economic justice, social justice.
I saw that star get even brighter as
Attorney General of California, as
a United States Senator, and as Vice
President of the United States of America.
Kamala Harris has always
done the right thing.
A champion for voting rights.
Civil rights.
LGBTQ rights.
The rights for women and girls.
So Democrats and Independents.
It's time for us to do the right
thing, and that is to elect Kamala
Harris as the next president of
the United States of America.
I'm not like us.
California, we proudly cast our 400.
And 82 votes for the next
president, Pablo Harris.
Alright, there you go.
Thank you to everyone who participated
in our celebratory roll call.
Delegates, please know how critical
you are to this process, both now
and earlier this month when we
conducted our virtual roll call.
I am thrilled to reaffirm Kamala
Harris as the Democratic nominee
for President of the United States!
Hell yeah!
Say
no more!
Woo!
It's done!
See if people in the chat
are excited about it.
Pursuant to the convention rules
of procedure, Vice President
Kamala Harris has been invited
to make an acceptance speech.
Which she will give on
Thursday, August 22nd.
Do you think Tupac would
be embarrassed about this?
I don't think so.
It's my pleasure to introduce
our party's official nominee for
President of the United States.
Live for my home state of Wisconsin.
Vice President Kamala Harris.
Oh, where is, oh, she's in Wisconsin.
Oh.
She must be holding a rally there.
Okay.
Oh,
this is a different twist.
She's not at the convention?
No, she's a rally in Wisconsin.
Good.
Interesting.
From excited Chicago.
Well, they just completed their roll call.
And
they have nominated Coach Walls
and me to be the next Vice
President and President of
the United States of America.
Say no more!
I'm there
and here for believing in
what we can do together.
We are so honored to be your nominees.
This is a people powered campaign.
Hell yeah!
And together, we will
chart a new way forward!
Future for freedom!
Opportunity of optimism and faith!
So to everyone in Chicago
and across America,
And you're gonna hear from our
wonderful second gentleman shortly.
I'll see you in two days, Chicago.
Hell yeah!
Game over.
Hmm, I think the game is over.
Please welcome TV personality.
Why did
you feel like the beginning of a Black
Mirror episode?
Ha ha ha.
No, that wasn't my show.
Who is this?
That's not Ana Navarro, is it?
I'm
talking over.
Buenas noches, Chicago!
Oh,
Ana Navarro.
Uh oh, she's going to lay some wood down.
So tell me, are you excited?
I am!
Hold your ears, man.
What
energy, what a moment.
This is
not going to make you happy.
I have to tell
you, I will never stop being the
little refugee girl who came to
this country at the age of eight.
Thank you for inviting me to be here.
Welcome to the second night of the
Democratic National Convention.
Let me tell you about
the Kamala Harris I know.
She is legitimately a
joyful, optimistic leader.
She cares about policy, yes.
But she also cares about people.
And how that policy affects real people.
Not just the members of Mar a Lago.
And
you know what else?
Kamala Harris, she likes dogs.
She what?
And my dog, Chacha likes her dogs
are good judges of character.
So are cats.
We cannot elect a president
who does not like dogs or hangs
around with people who shoot them.
What does
that have to do with anything?
Because you don't like dogs,
you can't be president.
I told you, just,
I would just not listen to this.
Donald Trump and his
minions call Kamala a communist.
I know communism.
I fled communism from Nicaragua
when I was eight years old.
I don't take it lightly.
And let me tell you what
communist dictators do.
And it's never just for one day.
They attack the free press.
They call them the enemy of the people.
Like Ortega does in Nicaragua.
They put their unqualified relatives
in cushy government jobs so they
can get rich of their positions.
Like the Castros do in Cuba.
And they refuse to accept legitimate
elections when they lose, and call
for violence to stay in power, like
Maduro is doing right now in Venezuela.
Now you tell me something.
Do any of those things sound familiar?
Is there anybody running for
president who reminds you of that?
And
I know one thing, it's not Kamala Harris.
That is not the American,
the America we love.
It's not the land of freedom we treasure.
Last night we heard President
Biden say that he loves his job,
but he loves his country more.
Every American needs to
love our country more.
Every American has the duty
to put our country first.
Country first before party.
Country first before political ambition.
Country first before habit.
And in this election, putting country
first means one thing and one thing only.
Voting for Kamala Harris.
Hell yeah.
And that, that is what
this night is about.
That is what we're going
to talk about tonight.
So you know what?
Let's get it started.
Let's get this fiesta going.
The Fiesta, Fiesta, Fiesta.
Oh, she
is a little mild tonight.
Usually she goes really off on them.
The
Ayes are 50, the Nays are 50.
The Senate being equally divided.
The Vice President votes
in the affirmative and the
nomination is confirmed.
And the concurrent resolution
as amended is adopted.
The Vice President votes
in the affirmative.
And the motion to proceed is agreed to.
On this vote, the yeas are 50,
the nays are 50, the Senate being
equally divided, the Vice President
votes in the affirmative, and
the bill, as amended, is passed.
It
is my honor to present the
Golden Gaffer to Vice President
Harris, 32 tie breaking votes.
Okay.
Please welcome Senate Majority Leader
and New York Senator, Chuck Schumer.
I'm
Chuckie.
Ah,
man, look at that dance there.
Steppin he got his steppin on tonight.
Lord.
Everybody, wasn't that a great roll call?
Now just let me hear you if you're
ready for President Kamala Harris.
Friends, we're here to
talk about one thing.
Tomorrow.
And building a better
tomorrow for all Americans.
This November, we can choose a
brighter, a fairer, a freer future.
Or We can relive the dark night
of Trump's American carnage.
Hell yeah.
Only one candidate will move
America forward, Kamala Harris.
Vice President Harris has been
the best partner Senate Democrats
could ever have asked for.
Under her, under her and President
Biden's leadership, Senate Democrats.
Lowered prescription drug prices
and created millions, millions
of good paying American jobs.
I worked with Kamala Harris
when she was Senator Harris.
I saw a leader who was fearless, who stood
up for middle class families like the one
she was raised in, who focused on things
that really mattered, helping parents
raise their kids safe neighborhoods.
Safe schools and building an
opportunity economy that gives
everyone a shot at the American dream.
She will lead America forward
into a brighter future,
but she can't do it alone.
She needs a Democratic majority in
the Senate of the United States.
Now, my friends, two years ago, two years
ago, the naysayers said Senate Democrats
Should stood no chance in the midterms.
I told them just you wait, we're
gonna pick, keep the Senate and
maybe pick up a seat or two.
And that's exactly what happened.
Hell yeah.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, my good
friends at this convention, I am telling
all of you now we're gonna hold the Senate
again and we're poised to pick up seats,
a democratic majority to create
good paying jobs and lower costs.
To defend a woman's right to choose.
To deliver for communities back home.
Our senators are doing it.
Like Jackie Rosen, delivering
high speed rail for Nevada.
John Tester, bringing
high tech jobs to Montana.
And Bobby Casey and Sherrod Brown
and Tammy Baldwin and Martin Heinrich
fixing bridges in Pennsylvania and
Ohio and Wisconsin and New Mexico.
We also have amazing candidates, Ruben
Gallego, Angela Alsobrooks, Andy Kim,
Alyssa Slotkin, Lisa Blunt, Rochester,
Colin Allred, Debbie Mucarsel Powell.
And folks, listen to this.
More than half of our candidates
are candidates of color.
We're making the Senate look like America.
Now let's compare that
with Senate Republicans.
Senate Republicans pretend to care about
middle class families, but they voted no
on expanding the child tax credit, and J.
D.
Vance didn't even show up to vote.
Senate Republicans pretend to care
about the border, but they voted no on
the strongest border bill in a decade.
Republicans tend to care about
freedom, but they voted no
on a woman's right to choose.
No to safeguard IVF.
No to birth control.
That is just a taste of
their extreme agenda.
Is that what we want for America?
Do we want a Republican Senate that
assaults reproductive freedoms?
Do we want a Republican Senate that
cuts taxes for the rich, rigs the
game for big oil and big pharma?
Well folks, the choice is ours.
Now, let me close.
He's a little dry speaker.
Let
me close on a personal note.
As
the highest ranking Jewish elected
official in American history,
I want my grandkids And all
grandkids to never, never face
discrimination because of who they are.
But Donald Trump, this is a guy
who pedals antisemitic stereotypes.
He even invited a white
supremacist to Mar-a-Lago.
I heard that one before
and unfortunately you heard that his
prejudice goes in all directions.
I haven't heard it.
Let me check
that.
He fuels his Islamophobia and
issued a Muslim ban as President
tonight, folk.
I am wearing this blue square to stand up
to anti semitism, to stand up to all hate.
Our children, our grandchildren, no
matter their race, no matter their creed,
their gender or family, deserve better
than Donald Trump's American carnage.
So, are you ready to make sure
Donald Trump never, ever gets
near the White House again?
They all sound excited.
So let's elect Kamala Harris, Tim
Walz, and a Democratic majority in the
Senate, and keep the torch of freedom.
Burning bright for generations to
come on to victory in November.
Speakers have been kind of a dead so far.
We got to have the ableist out there
together.
What I call an opportunity economy.
I will take on the high cost.
That matter most to most Americans.
Compare my plan with what
Donald Trump intends to do.
He wants to impose what is in effect
a national sales tax on everyday
products and basic necessities that
we import from other countries.
It will mean higher prices on just
about every one of your daily needs.
Donald Trump's plan would cost
a typical family 3, 900 a year.
He wants to repeal the Affordable
Care Act, which 45 million
Americans rely on for health care.
He plans to give billionaires
massive tax cuts year after year.
And he plans to cut corporate
taxes by over a trillion dollars.
you want to know who someone cares
about, look who they fight for.
We capped the price of insulin at 35 a
month and the total cost of prescription
drugs at 2, 000 a year for seniors.
And that's real money announced that we
are lowering the price for 10 more life
As president, I will work to build
the housing we need, and by the
end of my first term, we will end
America's housing shortage by building
3 million new homes and rentals that
are affordable for the middle class.
More than 100 million
Americans will get a tax.
What would you consider?
Look
up ai, the affordable house
these days, income tax
credit
and the child tax.
Look up what is an
affordable house these days?
Millions of Americans with
children got to keep more
of.
What would an average person
in the United States provide?
Be able to afford a house?
What that cost would be 300,000, 400,000
is the chart way.
I will fight to give money back to
working and middle class Americans.
Increase the security and stability
financially of your family and
expand opportunity for working
and middle class Americans.
Please welcome Vermont
Senator Bernie Sanders.
Uh
oh.
Alright.
He's popular.
So we had one Biden's chat said
150, 000 affordable housing in PA.
It is an honor.
It is an honor to be with you tonight.
Because we're laying the groundwork.
For Kamala Harris to
become our next president.
And let me, let me tell you
why that is so important.
I want you all to remember where
we were three and a half years ago.
We were in the midst of the worst
public health crisis in a hundred years.
And the worst economic downturn
since the Great Depression.
Three thousand Americans
were dying every day.
And our hospitals were
overwhelmed with COVID patients.
All across the country,
businesses were shutting down.
Unemployment was soaring.
Workers were losing
their health insurance.
Schools were closing.
State and city budgets
were running out of money.
People were being
evicted from their homes.
Children in America were going hungry.
That was the reality the Biden
Harris administration faced as
they entered the Oval Office.
A nation suffering, a nation
frightened, and people looking
to their government for support.
And within two months of taking
office, our government did respond.
We passed the American Rescue Plan,
which provided 1, 400 for every man,
woman and child in the working class.
We extended and expanded
benefits for the unemployed.
We provided emergency assistance
for small businesses to stay open.
We guaranteed healthcare coverage
to tens of millions of Americans
through one of the largest
expansions of Medicaid in history.
We provided rent relief and mortgage
assistance, which prevented tenants
And homeowners from being evicted.
We established emergency food
programs for hungry children and the
elderly, and protected the pensions of
millions of union workers and retirees
from being slashed by up to 65%.
Oh, and by the way, we cut
childhood poverty by over 40%.
Thank you, President Biden.
Thank you, Vice President Harris.
Thank you, Democratic Congress.
Now, I say all of this not to
relive that difficult moment,
but to make one simple point.
When the political will is there,
government can effectively deliver
for the people of our country.
And now we need to summon that will again.
Because too many of our fellow Americans
are struggling every day to just get by.
To put food on the table,
to pay the rents, and to get
the health care they need.
Brothers and sisters, bottom line, we
need an economy that works for all of
us, not just the billionaire class.
My fellow Americans, when 60
percent of our people live paycheck
to paycheck, the top 1 percent
have never ever had it so good.
And these oligarchs,
these oligarchs tell us.
We shouldn't tax the rich.
The oligarchs tell us we
shouldn't take on price gouging.
We shouldn't expand Medicare to
cover dental, hearing, and vision.
And we shouldn't increase Social
Security benefits for struggling seniors.
Well, I've got some bad news for them.
That is precisely what we are going to do.
And we're going to win this
struggle because this is
precisely what the American
people want from their government.
And my friends, at the very top of
that to do list is the need to get big
money out of our political process.
Billionaires in both parties should
not be able to buy elections,
including primary elections.
For the sake of our democracy, we
must overturn the disastrous Citizens
United Supreme Court decision
and move toward public
funding of elections.
And let me tell you what else.
This we must do.
We need to join the rest of the
industrialized world and guarantee
healthcare to all people as a
human right, not a privilege.
We need, we need to raise the
minimum wage to a living wage.
We need to pass the PRO Act.
So that workers can organize the unions
and gain the decent pay
and benefits they deserve.
We need to strengthen public education,
raise teachers salaries,
and make sure that every American,
regardless of income, receives the
higher education he or she needs.
We need to take on Big Pharma.
And cut our prescription
drug costs in half
so that we no longer pay any
more than other countries.
Joe and Kamala made sure that no senior in
America pays over 35 a month for insulin.
We need to make sure that reality
is true for every American.
I look forward to working with
Kamala and Tim to pass agenda.
And let us be very clear,
this is not a radical agenda.
But let me tell you what
a radical agenda is.
And that is Trump's Project 2025.
At a time of massive income and
wealth inequality, giving more tax
breaks to billionaires is radical.
Putting forth budgets to cut
Social Security is radical.
Medicare and Medicaid is radical.
Letting polluters destroy
our planet is radical.
And my friends, we won't let that happen.
Fellow Americans, in the last
three and a half years working
together, we have accomplished
more than any government since FDR.
But much, much more remains to be done.
We must summon the courage to stand
up to wealth and power and deliver
justice for people at home and abroad.
Abroad, we must end this
horrific war in Gaza,
bring home the hostages, and
demand an immediate ceasefire.
At home and abroad.
At home right here, we must take
on Big Pharma, Big Oil, Big Ag, Big
Tech, and all the other corporate
monopolists whose greed is denying
progress for working people.
On November 5th, let us elect Kamala
Harris as our president, and let us go
forward to create the nation we know.
We can become.
Thank you all very much.
Please welcome Illinois Governor J.
B.
Pritzker.
Big boy.
Big boy's here.
Fellow Democrats, welcome to Chicago!
You're
a great American city
in a proud blue state.
Our patriotism was formed in
frost and in fire And in the
steel we forged to survive both.
Our love of country has been a tapestry
of faith that weaves from Abraham
Lincoln reuniting a house divided to
Barack Obama declaring blue states
and red states make one United States.
Now, Illinois presidential
pedigree is unmatched.
And given that Vice President Kamala
Harris spent some of her early life right
here, I speak for the entire Illinois
delegation when I say, We claim her too!
Now one president we will never claim
is the con artist the Republicans
nominated in Milwaukee last month.
Donald Trump once called
Chicago embarrassing.
To quote a great Chicagoan who won
six world championships on these very
grounds, we take that personally.
I had to govern for two years
while Trump was president.
Let me tell you what's embarrassing.
In Illinois, we passed a massive
bill to fix our roads and bridges.
When Donald Trump proposed
his own plan, He turned right
around and called it stupid.
We eliminated the grocery tax.
Donald hasn't been in a grocery
store since his first bankruptcy.
Illinois invested in clean
energy and the jobs it brings.
Donald claimed that windmills in the
ocean made the whales a little batty.
During COVID, we supported
small businesses and jobs.
And Donald, well, Donald
told us to inject bleach.
Donald Trump thinks that we
should trust him on the economy
because he claims to be very rich.
But take it from an actual billionaire.
Trump is rich in only one thing.
Stupidity!
Now I meet with business leaders
all the time and there's one
universal thing they all need.
People.
They need more workers to
fill all the jobs they have.
But the anti freedom, anti family
policies of MAGA Republicans.
are driving workers away.
Here's the thing.
Americans don't want to be forced
to drive 100 miles to deliver a
baby because a draconian abortion
law shut down the maternity ward.
Americans want the hope of giving
birth through IVF, not the fear
that it might be taken away.
Americans with LGBTQ kids don't want
them facing discrimination at school
because the state He sanctioned it.
Americans want to go to their neighborhood
grocery store and not have to worry about
some random guy open carrying an AR 15.
Americans don't want their kids
to be taught in history class
that slavery was a jobs program.
And if Americans are black or
brown, they want to get promoted
at work without being derided as
a DEI hire for the sin of being.
Successful while not white.
Let's be clear.
It's not woke that limits economic growth.
It's weird.
And these guys aren't just
weird, they're dangerous.
Democrats are for lower taxes
and higher wages, less inflation
and more business growth.
We just think it's wrong to craft
those policies for Elon Musk and
not for everyday working people.
That includes a secure
retirement and good health care.
We think the government should
help you prosper, not police
who you're sleeping with.
More than anything, Democrats
want economic policies
that are kind, not cruel.
But Trump chooses cruelty every time.
After all, everything he's achieved in his
own life has been by hurting someone else.
Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
Well, they've spent their lives lifting
people up, not pushing them down.
They know that a White House
that leads with kindness looks at
someone who is struggling and sees
not what they might cost society,
but what they might create for it.
Americans want policies that
give every American a chance
to make it to the middle class.
They want to grow small businesses.
And Democrats want to cut
taxes for everyday people.
More than anything, Kamala Harris
and Tim Walz want a country where we
can all live with a little serenity.
The serenity that comes with a
balanced checkbook, an affordable
grocery bill, and a housing
market that has room for everyone.
And if there's one thing I know
about Donald Trump, he's not
bringing anyone any kind of serenity.
very much.
We have a choice, America, between
the man who left our country a
total mess and the woman who has
spent four years cleaning it up.
And I think it's time we stop expecting
women to clean up messes without the
authority and the title to match the job.
Hell yeah.
Vice President was a good
title for Kamala Harris.
But you know an even better one?
President of the United States of America!
Let's go get him!
Hell
yeah!
He sort of got it at the end,
but he was kind of boring.
Please welcome,
former chair and CEO of American Express,
and current chair and managing director
of General Catalyst, Ken Chenault.
He's a good guy.
My fellow Americans, for 17 years
I ran American Express, one of the
greatest companies in this country.
America has thousands of great companies,
more than any other nation in the world.
And that's not by accident.
The United States is the best place in
the world to do business because of the
values on which our country was built.
Democracy, the rule of law, free and fair
elections, The peaceful transfer of power.
As a business leader, I have seen
firsthand why democracy is so important.
Democracy provides the foundation
upon which American business
and our economy depend.
Character and values matter.
In business, nothing is
more important than trust.
In America.
We have to trust our president
will protect democracy.
We have to be certain they'll follow the
law and serve the nation, not themselves.
Business requires stability and
certainty that our democracy will endure.
Our economy and democracy
are tightly linked.
Both only grow stronger when
Americans, despite our differences.
Are willing to work together at
this moment when our politics
pits one group against another.
That's what's remarkable
about Kamala Harris.
She is for all Americans.
She understands it's possible, in
fact, necessary for a president to
be both pro business and pro worker.
Kamala Harris.
Kamala Harris understands that
government must work in partnership
with the business community.
She knows that a market based economy
needs a strong and effective government.
Kamala Harris understands that we
need to help entrepreneurs turn
good ideas into thriving companies.
That we can create good paying jobs
by helping manufacturers expand.
Kamala Harris believes in growing
the economic pie for the benefit
of current and future generations.
Unlike her opponent, she knows the way not
to build an advanced economy is a broad
tariff that would only raise prices, hurt
consumers and businesses, and cost jobs.
She knows the way not to do it
is to give people like me A tax
cut, when that money should be
invested to grow the middle class.
If you want to lead, you
have to be willing to serve.
Kamala Harris vision for
the economy serves us all.
She has demonstrated throughout her
career that she wants to serve all
people and wants all Americans to have
the opportunity to work to achieve
their own share of the American dream.
Our economy goes up and down, but the
reason America is the strongest nation
in the world is because of her commitment
to something bigger than ourselves.
Our commitment to each
other, to democracy.
That's what this election is about.
It's more than a choice between
two parties or sets of policies.
It's a choice about who we're going to be.
As a country, in his words and
actions, Kamala Harris's opponent has
shown us that he does not believe in
our democratic values, and he will
seek only to serve himself and his
desire for vindication and vengeance.
Kamala Harris will face the facts.
She will navigate this country,
the greatest country in the world,
through the inevitable challenges.
while also leading with the hope and
values that America was founded on.
Kamala Harris understands that
the role of a leader is to instill
hope, to repudiate the merchants
of fear, and focus on ensuring
that the best days are ahead of us.
She believes in America, its principles,
the hopes and dreams of our people,
and the promise of our future.
That is why I believe Kamala Harris
should be the next president of
the United States of America.
God bless America.
What did you think about that, Juwan?
So so.
Yeah.
So so.
I haven't had that wow moment yet.
Repeal Obamacare!
Donald Trump over the weekend again
threatened to repeal Obamacare.
This would lead to Americans having
their health insurance taken away.
There are about 19 million people with
coverage through Medicaid expansion,
another 16 million enrolled through the
ACA's health insurance marketplaces,
and we'd probably be talking about many
millions of people becoming uninsured.
Biggest worries?
Losing the safety net of pre
existing conditions coverage.
What happens if you lose this insurance?
I sign with that.
What makes you think this
isn't just a hollow threat?
This is one of the few campaign promises
that he actually tried very hard to keep.
So we better believe him when
he says he's coming after this.
Even if you have insurance from your
employer, you will be affected because
your premiums would be going up.
We're looking at a lot of people who
could lose their health insurance.
Please welcome New Mexico
Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham.
Good evening, America.
I'm Michelle Lujan Grisham, governor
of the great state of New Mexico.
And in my state, we like things
spicy, a little chili on everything,
a little kick in our campaigns.
And let me tell you, we are
feeling en fuego right now.
We are fired up to elect
Kamala Harris president.
Of the United States.
This election is about protecting our
democracy and securing our freedoms,
including the right to afford is
affordable quality healthcare.
Bring that to Obama's man.
All the
rest.
Yeah.
This issue is personal to Vice President
Harris, whose mom passed away after
a battle with colon cancer, and it's
personal to me at two years old.
My sister was diagnosed with a tumor
that was incurable and made her
uninsurable by the time she was three.
And it's personal to Americans across
the country who know what it's like
when someone they love gets sick.
Donald Trump and J.
D.
Vance want to dismantle our healthcare
system, repeal the Affordable Care
Act, and eliminate protections
for pre existing conditions.
Either these guys don't get
it, or they just don't care.
You know who gets it?
Kamala Harris gets it, and she cares.
As Attorney General, she took on drug
companies that jacked up prices, and
hospitals that overcharge patients.
And when Republicans tried to kill the
Affordable Care Act, she stood up in the
Senate voting not just no, but hell no.
And Kamala Harris hasn't just
stopped Republicans from making
our health care system worse.
She fights every day to make it better.
And I know.
I spent 20 years working to
get Medicare the ability to
negotiate lower drug prices.
As Vice President, Kamala
Harris delivered it.
You know what Donald Trump delivered?
Junk plans, higher
premiums, and abortion bans.
And if you don't think a second
term would be worse, then I've
got a box of Trump steaks.
We
have not just a better choice.
America, we have the best choice.
Yes, we do.
Kamala Harris will protect
your right to care.
She'll cap drug costs.
She'll go after corporate price gougers
and ensure every woman who needs it
can access reproductive health care.
That's the president I want.
And that's the president America needs.
And with your help, that's the next
president of the United States.
President Kamala Harris.
Oh
my gosh.
I love you too.
Y en espanol, los quiero.
So my mom, like Kamala's mom, got sick.
When my mom died in
2021, Kamala called me.
She had lost her mother to cancer in 2009.
Kamala helped me navigate my grief.
She said that heartbreak and
loss are the price for having
loved and having been loved.
How I wish our mothers could
be here to see this moment.
In the next four years, America will
invariably have moments of great
sadness and pain in our country.
Some will be natural disasters.
Some will be man made disasters.
We need a president who can
not only be commander in chief,
but also consoler in chief.
We need a president with empathy, capable
of lifting us up when we are down.
We need a president who is
capable of holding us in a
big, great hug when we need it.
That is Kamala Harris.
Donald Trump, Donald Trump is
only capable of holding two
things, a grudge and a golf club.
I remember when Kamala was first
running for district attorney
and people were like, oh, I
don't know if she's tough enough.
And I just had to laugh because
I'm like, you don't know my sister.
Kamala had been hard and tough prosecutor
in Alameda County, prosecuting men who
were pimping young girls and rapists.
Kamala wanted to make sure that
murderers and child abusers face
meaningful accountability and
consequences for those actions.
One of the cases that she had
early in her career was where a
man had scalped his girlfriend.
And she ended up getting a conviction,
getting justice for that woman.
She came to San Francisco to protect
victims, and she was elected to be
District Attorney of San Francisco.
Kamala knew that we needed to be smart on
crime and if hell, no one else was going
to do it, that she was going to do it.
If I'm going to keep my promise
to you to keep you safe, I better
talk with you about what I'm doing
in terms of crime prevention.
Investing in people coming out
of prisons is the smart thing
to do for law enforcement.
Forget that it's just
the right thing to do.
That was a young Kamala Harris.
She's only gotten more fierce.
I've never seen her back down from a
fight and when she fights, she wins.
When Kamala became Attorney General,
she wanted to protect people, but
also to fundamentally pursue justice.
Being smart on crime starts with
being tough on violent crime.
From a statewide perspective,
I think we were concerned about
the rise of gang violence.
In San Joaquin County, we saw
this tremendous change in our
community, and it hit us like a wave.
We saw an increase in human
trafficking, narcotics, and guns.
Let it be clear to anyone who would
menace this state with violence, to
those who prey on the weak and the
vulnerable, justice will be swift and
certain in the state of California.
She was always hunting the kingpins,
but we didn't have partnerships
with DOJ, or FBI, or DEA, or any
of those law enforcement agencies.
Now We all work collaboratively to
help all the counties in California.
Because of her, we've destabilized
organized crime, disrupt these flows
of guns, human beings, and narcotics.
We are here this afternoon to announce
the shutting down of one of the
biggest and most organized threats
to the safety of the Central Valley.
I really think of her as
fearless, as a fighter.
Kamala just perseveres and mommy would
say it's too hard is never an excuse.
Making excuses is a failure to not only
take responsibility but to take action.
If you have the will, the desire,
the passion, the commitment.
There is no challenge
that is insurmountable.
Please welcome the Democratic nominee for
Senate in Maryland, Angela Alsobrooks.
Good evening, America!
And hello, Maryland!
Like me, thank you.
People like me, stories like
mine, don't usually make it
to the United States Senate.
But they should.
I'm the proud granddaughter of a
housekeeper, Sarah Daisy, who raised her
three children in a one bedroom apartment.
It was her dream to work in
government to help people.
That meant taking a typing test,
but she didn't know how to type and
she couldn't afford a typewriter.
So.
She put a white piece of paper on the
refrigerator and drew a keyboard on it,
and every night she stood in front of that
refrigerator and taught herself to type.
She took the test, passed it,
and got the job she dreamed of.
I am her legacy.
And tonight, I am a candidate.
for United States Senate from
the great state of Maryland.
There
you go,
there
you go.
I've always been inspired by
women like my grandmother.
Women who imagine a better future and
then have the grit to make it a reality.
One of those women is a friend,
a mentor, and a role model.
That woman is Kamala Harris.
Let me tell you about the
Kamala I've known for 14 years.
I first heard about her in 2009 when
I was running for state's attorney
in Prince George's County, Maryland.
I
read a story in Essence magazine about a
district attorney in San Francisco using
new ideas to keep her community safe.
Few had a better record
prosecuting violent crime.
She put rapists Child molesters
and murderers behind bars.
But what she knew was that
violent crime accounts for
about 30 percent of all crimes.
For the 70 percent that are non
violent, she created a first of its
kind program called Back on Track.
After serving time and pleading
guilty, these low level offenders would
get the job training, GED help, and
apprenticeships they needed to find a job.
The result?
The recidivism rate plummeted.
Now, after reading about this super
bad district attorney, I talked nonstop
about her on the campaign trail.
Two days after I won the
election, my phone rings.
It's Kamala Harris,
calling to congratulate me.
and ask how she could help.
She helped me bring Back
on Track to Maryland.
And wouldn't you know it, crime went
down and economic growth went up.
Back on Track is now a national model.
Now, Donald Trump says, if Kamala
Harris is elected, tough guys
will treat her like a play toy.
Do you know?
Who else thought that?
The drug cartels she busted, the big oil
companies she made pay for polluting,
the big banks that she made pay 20
billion to homeowners they ripped off.
Getting justice for others isn't a power
trip for her, it's a sacred calling.
And hear me, Kamala Harris.
Knows how to keep
criminals off the streets.
Hell yeah!
Come
November, with your help, she'll
keep one out of the Oval Office.
Donald Trump rode down
that ridiculous escalator.
We, as a nation, have felt trapped.
Every national decision has been
made in reaction to this one man.
We are still frozen by the
fear that Donald Trump might
once again come to power.
And it's not just our politics that
have been trapped, it's our imagination.
And then Kamala came along.
Kamala has reminded us that we
don't need to fear anything.
This is our moment to leave Donald Trump
where he belongs, in America's past.
We stand with Kamala Harris.
Because we, as a country,
are not going back.
For the ancestors who sat at
lunch counters and made sure that
we all had the right to vote.
We are not going back.
For the mamas and grandmamas who marched.
We are not going back.
For
the parents
who work from can't see in the
morning until can't see at night.
Not so that they will have a
better future, but so that their
children will have a better life.
We are not going back.
Hell yeah!
When facing an obstacle.
My father has often said to me, your
faith is stronger than your fears.
Tonight, our faith is
stronger than our fears.
Faith in the promise of America.
Faith in the American idea, in
the American values that we share.
Faith that we, the people, can
choose a new leader, a better future.
Faith for the people.
Faith that as dark as our days and
challenges have sometimes felt,
it's always darkest before the dawn.
We know that we can endure for a night
because joy cometh in the morning.
Morning is coming.
Morning is coming.
is coming and that joy will
be led by Kamala Harris.
Thank you so much.
Okay.
Well, she got a little, um,
excitement in the crowd.
She tried
to, I'm gonna look more into that
back on track program and Maryland.
I have a confession to make.
I'm a lifelong Republican.
You are?
So, I feel a little out of place tonight.
But, I feel more at home here
than in today's Republican Party.
Wow.
A
grand old party has been kidnapped by
extremists and devolved into a cult.
The cult of Donald Trump.
Trump doesn't know the first
thing about public service.
Like a child, he acts
purely out of self-interest.
Wow.
We all need an adult in the
White House, and we've seen what
happens when we don't have one.
Trump made a lot of lofty promises,
unlimited economic growth, American
manufacturing, reborn a secure border.
Turns out Donald Trump was all talk.
He wanted our votes, but he
couldn't deliver a thing.
But these days, my city of
Mesa, Arizona is on the move.
I'm going to ribbon
cuttings every single week.
All because Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
reached across the aisle and they
delivered for my conservative community.
And countless more across the country.
My hero John McCain taught
us to put country over party.
And that's how Vice President Harris
and Governor Walz will lead too.
I have an urgent message for the
majority of Americans who, like
me, are in the political middle.
John McCain's Republican Party
is gone, and we don't owe a damn
thing to what's been left behind.
So let's turn the page.
Let's put country first.
Let's put adults in the room
where our country deserves.
Thank you.
Don't
be freaked.
Tim, I'm talking about John McCain, who
of course lost to, um, president Obama.
And um, so very interesting,
the fact that
she was able to build a family,
that the s were in the community,
this would've.
IVF treatment gives many patients
an opportunity to have a family.
But
a party that pretends to be pro
family wants to put a stop to this.
They gain everything,
and they wipe out our businesses, I
stopped it four years ago, and I will stop
it very quickly again, and we'll be making
the product ourselves with our labor.
We will not let countries come
in, take our jobs, and plunder
our nation into poverty.
The way they will sell their product
in America without having to pay
any substantial tariff or tax is
to build their factory in America.
and build their product in America using
only American help, and we have the help.
Kamala Harris says that a tariff
is a tax on American consumers.
She's wrong.
It's a tax on a foreign producer.
It's a tax on a foreign country, and I
proved that better than anybody because
I took in hundreds of billions of
dollars worth of tariffs on different
states, different on different countries.
I'm sorry.
And out of all of that
money, we had no inflation.
We had no inflation.
It also gives you power over that country.
If they want to have wars with somebody,
we can say, No, if you do have wars,
we're going to raise your tariffs.
Chicago!
You know,
I went to war to protect
America's rights and freedoms.
So I take it personally when a
five time draft dodging coward
like Donald Trump tries to take
away Hell yeah, hell yeah, hell
yeah, tries to take away my
rights and freedoms in return.
Especially when it concerns my daughters.
My girls, Gamer Girl Abigail and
Queen of the Monkey Bars, Miley.
Infertility and infertility are everything
to me, but they would never have been
born without access to reproductive care.
Because after ten years of struggling
with infertility, I was only able to
have them through the miracle of IVF.
But now?
Trump's anti woman crusade has
put other Americans right to
have their own families at risk.
Because if they win, Republicans
will not stop at banning abortion.
They will come for IVF next.
They'll prosecute doctors.
They will shame and spy on women.
And if you think That's far fetched.
Just look up what happened
in Alabama last year.
So let me say to every
would be parent, I see you.
I'm with you.
And together, in November, we'll send
a message to old Cadet Bonespurs.
Stay out of our doctor's
offices, and we'll get at it
out of the Oval Office, too.
Look,
my struggle with infertility
was more painful than any wound
I earned on the battlefield.
So how dare a convicted felon like Donald
Trump treat women seeking health care
like they're the ones breaking the law?
How dare J.
D.
Vance criticize childless women on
cable news, then Then vote against
legislation that would have actually
helped Americans to start families.
Dare, the GOP endangered the dreams of
countless veterans whose combat wounds
prevent them from having kids without IVF.
Punishing our heroes for
their willingness to serve.
It's simple.
Every American deserves the right
to be called mommy or daddy without
being treated like a criminal.
Kamala Harris believes that.
So, let's make some history
and elect her in November.
God bless America.
Well, she brought some fire tonight.
Tammy Duckworth.
I think she sent her phone.
This is my dad, Doug.
He was raised in Jersey,
moved to LA when he was 16.
These are his parents, Barb and Mike.
Oh, Kamala's husband here.
This is what he wore to his bar mitzvah.
Here's him at summer camp.
They voted him most athletic, so he says.
This is a photo McDonald's used
when he was employee of the month.
It hung on our wall for years.
My dad is a lawyer, a really good one.
My mom called him the crisis guy
because he was everyone's first call.
My
parents split when I was in middle
school and that wasn't easy.
That's not easy for any kid.
But it helped that my parents stayed
friends and we all kept hanging together.
We grew closer than ever.
And then he met Kamala, the blind
date that would dramatically
change all of our lives forever.
It was my senior year of high school.
Ella and I would laugh, watching them
fall in love, acting like teenagers.
In 2014, Kamala became Mamala.
She took over Sunday night dinners
and taught Doug how to actually cook.
Our blended family wasn't used to
politics or the spotlight, but when
Kamala became senator, we were all
excited to step up, especially my dad.
Then Kamala became vice president.
It felt like Doug was a bit
out of place on Capitol Hill.
I thought, what is my
goofy dad doing here?
But he embraced it.
He left his practice after
being a lawyer for 30 years.
That was tough.
I was so proud to watch him do it.
To stand by her side.
An example of true partnership.
I just got married myself.
And he's inspired me as a new husband.
And Anyone who really gets
close to him knows he's kind,
loving, and fiercely protective.
I mean, just look at this face.
This is my dad.
The first second gentleman.
In the history of this nation,
he's found his voice around
the issues that matter to him.
You have no choice but to
speak up and speak out.
There is an epidemic of hate,
including a crisis of anti semitism
in our country and around the world.
What they are doing on reproductive
freedom and freedom in general is just
outrageous.
And next, he's going
to make history again.
As the first, first gentleman,
first, first man.
I can't
wait for everyone to get to
know why we all love him.
Yeah, that's quite interesting.
That keeps this family together.
So he's speaking then Michelle
Obama and then president Obama.
We are ready to
represent all
families in America.
Okay, okay.
Please welcome my dad, the
second gentleman of the
United States, Doug Emhoff.
Okay.
Oh,
they got a little Doug signs
up and everything, but I know
they've got Obama signs there.
I guess he didn't want me to give this.
Thank you so much.
Hello!
Thank you.
Hello to my big, beautiful,
blended family up there.
I love you so much.
Aren't you proud of Cole?
Wow!
And a special shout out to my mother.
I see you.
My mother is the only person in
the whole world who thinks Kamala
is the lucky one for marrying me.
That's funny.
I get that.
And to Kamala, who, well, we just saw
where she is, she's out on the trail
listening to and talking with voters.
I can't wait for you to come
back to Chicago because we're
having a great time here.
I'm
trying to make you the
first person to do this.
That's a lot to say there.
I love you so much.
I'm so proud of how you're
stepping up for all of us.
But that's who she is.
Wherever she's needed, however she's
needed, Kamala rises to the occasion.
And she did it for me and our family.
And now that the country needs her.
She's showing you what we already know.
She's ready to lead.
Hell yeah!
She brings both joy and
toughness to this task.
And she will be a great president
we will all be proud of.
Now I'm the son of two
Brooklynites, Mike and Barb.
They've been together almost 70 years.
My dad worked in the shoe
business in Manhattan.
And he moved our family out to
New Jersey, where's New Jersey?
I see you out there
when I was a little kid.
And in a lot of ways, I had a
typical Jersey suburban childhood.
I biked around the neighborhood.
I took the bus to Hebrew school.
And I rode to Little League
practice in the way back of my
coach's wood paneled station wagon.
And if we did well, we got
to have a Slurpee after.
In my neighborhood, everyone
left their garage door open.
Wherever you ended up at dinner
time, that's the family that fed you.
Everyone took care of everyone else.
And the guys I grew up with
are still my best friends.
The group chat is active every day and
it's probably blowing up right now, guys.
When my dad had to get a new job,
we moved across the country to L.
A.
Money was tight.
Hey, California!
Money was tight.
So I worked at McDonald's in
high school for some extra cash.
Not only was I Employee of the
Month, but I still have the framed
picture, which you just saw.
And there was a ring,
golden arches and all.
And then I waited tables, parked cars.
I was working full time, so I could
afford to go to college part time.
And thanks to, thanks to partial
scholarships, student loans,
and a little help from my dad,
I got myself through law school.
And I got my first job as a lawyer,
which is also where I met the guys
in my fantasy football league.
And a lot has changed in our
lives since the early 90s, but
my team name is still Nirvana.
Um, yes, after the band, uh, I worked
hard and I love being a lawyer.
And by the way, I still get to be
part of the profession by teaching
students at Georgetown Law School.
I got married, became a dad to Colin
Ella, unfortunately went through a
divorce, but eventually started worrying
about how I would make it all work.
And that's when something
unexpected happened.
In 2013, I walked into a
contentious client meeting.
We worked through the issue, and
by the end of the meeting, the now
happy client Offered to set me up on
a blind date, which is how I ended
up with Kamala Harris's phone number
Okay,
now for generations people have
debated when to call the person
you're being set up with and never in
history has Anyone suggested 8 30 a.
m.
And yet that's when I dialed
I got Kamala's voicemail and
I just started Hey, it's Doug.
I'm on my way to an early meeting.
Again, it's Doug.
I remember I was trying to grab the words
out of the air and just put them back
in my mouth and for what seemed like
far too many minutes, By the way, Kamala
saved that voicemail, and she makes
me listen to it on every anniversary.
But that message was the only
unusual thing about that day.
Now Kamala, who normally would have been
working hard at her office, just happened
to be waiting at her apartment for a
contractor to do some work on her kitchen.
I was eating at my desk, which was not a
regular occurrence for a busy lawyer like
me, who appreciated a good business lunch.
But that's when she called me back and
we talked for an hour and we laughed.
Well, you know that laugh.
I love that laugh.
And maybe that counted as our first date
or maybe it was that Saturday night when
I picked her up and told her, buckle
up, I'm a really bad driver because you
can't hide anything from Kamala Harris.
So you might as well own it.
And as I got to know her better and
just fell in love fast, I learned.
And it's what you've seen over
these past four years, and
especially these past four weeks.
She finds joy in pursuing justice.
She stands up to bullies just
like my parents taught me to.
And she likes to see people do well,
but hates when they're treated unfairly.
She believes this work requires a basic
curiosity in just how people are doing.
Her empathy is her strength.
Over the past decade Kamala has
connected me more deeply to my faith,
even though it's not the same as hers.
She comes to synagogue with me
for high holiday services, and I
go to church with her for Easter.
I get to enjoy her mom's chili relleno
recipe every Christmas, and she
makes a mean brisket for Passover.
It brings me right back to
my grandmother's apartment in
Brooklyn, you know, the one with
the plastic covered couches.
But Kamala has fought against
anti semitism and all forms
of hate her whole career.
She's the one who encouraged me as
second gentleman to take up that
fight, which is so personal to me.
And those of you who belong to
blended families know that they
can be a little complicated.
But as soon as our kids started
calling her Mamala, I knew we'd be OK.
Ella, Ella calls us a three
headed parenting machine.
Kamala and Kirsten.
Thank you both.
Thank you both for always putting
your family and the kids first.
Now, Cole and Ella's friends knew that
when they'd come over for Sunday dinner
with Mamala, it was going to be real talk.
In between taking cooking instructions,
they'd have to answer questions about what
problem they wanted to solve in the world.
They learned that you've always
got to be prepared because Kamala
is going to prosecute the case.
And in the same breath that
So, um, there's to us and
said that they were engaged.
They asked Kamala to
officiate their wedding.
And in the same way that she always
steps up when it matters, Kamala
put so much time into those remarks.
And she bound them in a book that matched
her dark red dress, and then turned
that into a gift for the happy couple.
A few days ago, during this incredible
time we're going through, there was a
brief window when Kamala was back at home.
And I saw her sitting on her favorite
chair, and in the middle of a wild
month, I just hoped that she was
having a quiet moment to herself.
But then I realized she was on the phone.
And of course, my mind went to all
the potential crises that the Vice
President could be dealing with.
Was it domestic?
Was it foreign?
Was it campaign?
I could see she was focused,
and all I knew was that it
must be something important.
And it turns out it was.
Ella had called her.
That's Kamala.
That's Kamala.
Those kids are her priorities, and that
scene was a perfect map of her heart.
She's always been there for
our children, and I know she'll
always be there for yours too.
Kamala is a joyful warrior.
It's doing for her country what she has
always done for the people that she loves.
Her passion will benefit all
of us when she's our president.
And here's the thing
about joyful warriors.
There are still warriors and
Kamala is as tough as it comes.
Just ask the criminals, the global
gangsters and the witnesses before
the Senate Judiciary Committee.
She never runs from a fight.
And she knows the best way to deal
with a coward is to take him head on.
Because we all know cowards are weak.
And Kamala Harris can smell weakness.
She doesn't tolerate any BS.
You've all seen that look.
And you know that look I'm talking about.
That look is not just a meme,
it reflects her true belief in
honest and direct leadership.
And it's also why she will
not be distracted by nonsense.
Kamala knows that in order
to win, we cannot lose focus.
America, in this election, you
have to decide who to trust
with your family's future.
I trusted Kamala with our family's future.
It was the best decision I ever made.
This Thursday will be our
10th wedding anniversary.
Which, I know, I know it means I'm about
to hear that embarrassing voicemail again.
However, that's not all I'll be hearing.
That same night, I'll be hearing my wife
Kamala Harris, accept your nomination
for President of the United States!
And with your help, she will lead with
joy and toughness, with that laugh and
that look, with compassion and conviction.
She'll lead from the belief that wherever
we come from, whatever we look like,
we're strongest when we fight for what we
believe in, not just against what we fear.
Kamala Harris was exactly the right person
for me at an important moment in my life.
And at this moment in our
nation's history, she is
exactly the right president.
Thank you so much.
That's pretty dope that he came
out there and championed his wife.
You know, one of our biggest supporters.
Yep, that's good.
I think that's a good way to sort of
humanize her because really nobody
knows who she is in that sense, not
that she's vice president, but sort of.
Yeah, jumped.
But now, the main event.
The main event.
But Trump's wife didn't,
didn't speak at all.
Nah, I think she, uh, is not
really participating in this
election cycle at this point.
How the hell?
You know, but
Please welcome, former
first lady, Michelle Obama.
Oop,
oop, oop, oop.
Alright, now the crowd's excited.
Here we go.
Look at them cheer.
Look at
the crowd.
Hey.
Hi.
Something Wonderfully magical
is in the air, isn't it?
You know, we're feeling it
here in this arena, but it's
spreading all across this country.
We love a familiar feeling that's
been buried too deep for far too long.
You know what I'm talking about?
The contagious power of hope,
hell yeah.
The
anticipation.
The energy, the exhilaration of once
again being on the cusp of a brighter day.
The chance to vanquish the demons
of fear, division and hate that have
consumed us and continue pursuing the
unfinished promise of this great nation.
The dream that our parents
and grandparents fought and
died and sacrificed for.
Thank you very much.
America, hope is making a comeback.
But
to be honest, I am realizing
that until recently I have
mourned the dimming of that hope.
And maybe you've experienced
the same feelings.
That deep pit in my stomach, a palpable
sense of dread about the future.
And for me, that mourning
has This has also been mixed
with my own personal grief.
The last time I was here in my
hometown was to memorialize my mother.
The woman who showed me the meaning
of hard work and humility and decency.
The woman who set my moral compass high
and showed me the power of my own voice.
Folks,
I still feel her loss so profoundly.
I wasn't even sure if I'd be steady
enough to stand before you tonight, but
my heart compelled me to be here because
of the sense of duty that I feel to
honor her memory and to, and to remind
us all not to squander the sacrifices our
elders made to give us a better future.
You see my mom, In her steady, quiet
way, lived out that striving sense
of hope every single day of her life.
She believed that all children,
all, all people have value.
That anyone can succeed
if given the opportunity.
She and my father didn't
aspire to be wealthy.
In fact, they were suspicious of
folks who took more than they needed.
They understood that it wasn't
enough for their kids to thrive if
everyone else around us was drowning.
So, my mother volunteered
at the local school.
She, she always looked out for
the other kids on the block.
She was glad to do the thankless,
unglamorous work that for generations has
strengthened the fabric of this nation.
For The belief that if you do unto others,
if you love thy neighbor, if you work and
scrape and sacrifice, it will pay off.
If not for you, then maybe for your
children or your grandchildren.
You see, those values have been
passed on through family farms and
factory towns, through tree lined
streets and crowded tenements.
Through prayer groups and National Guard
units and social studies classrooms.
Those were the values my mother poured
into me until her very last breath.
Kamala Harris and I built our lives
on those same foundational values.
Even though our mothers grew up an
ocean apart, they shared the same
belief in the promise of this country.
That's why her mother moved
here from India at 19.

org It's why she taught Kamala about
justice, about the obligation to lift
others up, about our responsibility
to give more than we take.
She'd often tell her daughter, don't
sit around and complain about things.
So, with that voice in her head,
Kamala went out and she worked hard
in school, graduating from an HBCU,
earning her law degree at a state school.
She went on to work for the people,
fighting to hold lawbreakers accountable,
strengthening the rule of law.
Fighting to get folks better
wages, cheaper prescription drugs,
a good education, decent health
care, child care, elder care.
From a middle class household, Kamala
worked her way up to become Vice
President of the United States of America.
My girl,
Kamala Harris, is more
than ready for this moment.
She is ready.
One of the most qualified people ever
to seek the office of the presidency.
And
she is one of the most dignified.
A tribute to her mother, to my
mother, and to your mother too.
The embodiment of the stories we
tell ourselves about this country.
Her story is your story.
It's my story.
It's the story of the vast majority of
Americans trying to build a better life.
Look, Kamala knows, like we do, that
regardless of where you come from,
what you look like, who you love,
how you worship, or what's in your
bank account, we all deserve the
opportunity to build a decent life.
All of our contributions deserve
to be accepted and valued.
Hell yeah.
No one has a monopoly on what
it means to be an American.
No one.
Hell yeah.
Kamala
has shown her allegiance to this
nation, not by spewing anger and
bitterness, but by living a life
of service and always pushing the
doors of opportunity open to others.
She understands that most of us will never
be afforded the grace of failing forward.
We will never benefit from the
affirmative action of generational wealth.
If we bankrupt a business, if we bankrupt
a business or choke in a crisis, we don't
get a second, third, or fourth chance.
If things don't go our way.
We don't have the luxury of whining or
cheating others to get further ahead.
No,
we don't get to change the
rules so we always win.
If we see a mountain in front of
us, we don't expect there to be an
escalator waiting to take us to the top.
No.
We
put our heads down.
We get to work.
In America, We do something,
and throughout
her entire life, that's what
we've seen from Kamala Harris.
The steel of her spine, the steadiness
of her upbringing, the honesty
of her example, and yes, the joy
of her laughter and her light.
It couldn't be more obvious of the
two major candidates in this race.
Yes.
Only Kamala Harris truly understands the
unseen labor and unwavering commitment
that has always made America great.
Yes.
Now, unfortunately, we
know what comes next.
We know folks are going to do everything
they can to distort her truth.
My husband and I sadly know a
little something about this.
For
years, Donald Trump did everything in
his power to try to make people fear us.
See, his, his limited, narrow view
of the world made him feel threatened
by the existence of two hard
working, highly educated, successful
people who happen to be black.
Yes!
Whoo!
Whoa.
Huh?
Oh my goodness.
Great.
Wait.
I want
to know.
Who's going
to tell him?
Who's going to tell him that the
job he's currently seeking might
just be one of those black jobs?
Woo!
Whoa!
Yes!
Juan, you better turn this off.
It's
too much
for
you.
It's his same old
con.
Same old con.
Doubling down on ugly,
misogynistic, racist lies.
Substitute for real ideas and
solutions that will actually
make people's lives better.
Look, because cutting our healthcare,
taking away our freedom to control our
bodies, the freedom to become a mother
through IVF like I did, those things are
not going to improve the health outcomes
of our wives, mothers, and daughters.
Shutting down the Department of
Education, banning our books.
None of that will prepare
our kids for the future.
Demonizing our children for being who
they are and loving who they love.
Look, that doesn't make
anybody's life better.
Instead,
instead, it only makes us small.
And let me tell you this, going
small is never the answer.
Going small is the opposite
of what we teach our kids.
Going small is petty, it's unhealthy,
and quite frankly, it's unpresidential.
Say
no more.
So, why would any of us accept this
from anyone seeking our highest office?
Why would we normalize that
type of backward leadership?
Doing so only demeans and
cheapens our politics.
It only serves to further discourage
good, big hearted people from
wanting to get involved at all.
America, our parents taught
us better than that, and we
deserve so much better than that.
That's why we must do everything
in our power to elect Two of
those good, big hearted people.
There is no other choice than
Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
No other choice.
Hell yeah.
Hell yeah.
But,
as we embrace this renewed
sense of hope, let us not
forget the despair we have felt.
Let us not forget what we are up against.
Yes, Kamala and Tim are doing great now.
Thank you, Kamala.
We're lovin it, they're packin
arenas across the country, folks
are energized, we are feelin good!
Hell yeah!
But, remember there are still so many
people who are desperate for a different
outcome, who are ready to question and
criticize every move Kamala makes, who are
eager to spread those lies, who don't want
to vote for a woman, who will continue
to prioritize building their wealth
over ensuring that everyone has enough.
So no matter how good we feel tonight
or tomorrow or the next day, this
is going to be an uphill battle.
So folks, we cannot be
our own worst enemies.
No.
See, cause the minute something goes
wrong, the minute a lie takes hold,
folks, we cannot start wringing our hands.
We cannot get a Goldilocks complex
about whether everything is just right.
And we cannot indulge our anxieties about
whether this country will elect someone
like Kamala instead of doing everything
we can to get someone like Kamala elected.
Hell yeah!
Kamala
and Tim, they have lived amazing lives.
And I, I am confident that they will lead
with compassion, inclusion, and grace.
But they are still only human.
They are not perfect.
And like all of us,
they will make mistakes.
But luckily, y'all, this
is not just on them.
No, uh uh, this is up to us.
It's up to us, all of us, to
be the solution that we seek.
It's up to all of us to be the
anecdote to the darkness and division.
Look, I
don't care how you identify politically.
Whether you're Democrat, Republican,
Independent, or none of the above.
This is our time to stand up for
what we know in our hearts is right.
Hell yeah!
To stand up, not just
for our basic freedoms.
But for decency and humanity,
for basic respect, dignity, and
empathy, for the values at the
very foundation of this democracy.
It's up to us to remember
what Kamala's mother told her.
Don't just sit around and complain.
Do something.
So, if they lie about her, and they
will, we've got to do something.
If we see a bad poll, and
we will, we gotta put down
that phone and do something.
If we start feeling tired, if we
start feeling that dread creeping
back in, we gotta pick ourselves up,
throw water on our face, and what?
Do something!
We only have two and a half months, y'all.
to get this done.
Only eleven weeks to make sure
every single person we know is
registered and has a voting plan.
So, we cannot afford for anyone,
anyone, anyone in America to sit on
their hands and wait to be called.
Don't complain if no one from the
campaign has I have specifically reached
out to you to ask you for your support.
There is simply no time for
that kind of foolishness.
You know what you need to
do.
Do something.
So, consider
this
to be your official ask.
Michelle Obama is asking you, no,
I'm telling y'all to do something!
Hell
yeah!
Because,
you all,
this election is gonna be close.
In some states, just a handful, listen
to me, a handful of votes in every
precinct could decide the winner.
So we need to vote in
numbers that erase any doubt.
We need to overwhelm any
effort to suppress us.
Our fate is in our hands.
In 77 days, we have the power to
turn our country away from the fear,
division, and smallness of the past.
We have the power to marry
our hope with our action.
We have the power.
To pay forward the love, sweat, and
sacrifice of our mothers and fathers
and all those who came before us.
We did it before y'all and
we sure can do it again.
Let us work like our lives depend on it.
And let us keep moving our
country forward and go higher.
Yes, always higher than
we've ever gone before.
As we elect the next president and
vice president of the United States.
Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
Thank you all.
God bless.
Game over.
Game over.
Night, night.
Yeah,
well, she definitely had some
drop mic moments there for sure.
Yeah, the energy, the energy was there.
Before
I have one
more
job tonight.
Uh huh.
Yeah.
One more
job.
You all, thank you for all the love,
but it is now my honor to introduce
somebody who knows a whole lot about hope.
Someone who has spent his life
strengthening our democracy, and let
me tell you, as someone who lives with
him, he wakes up every day, every day.
And thinks about what's
best for this country.
Please welcome America's 44th president
and the love of my life, Barack Obama.
Hell yeah.
Barack
H.
K.
Obama.
Alright, the main event.
Can't get any better than
the White House introduction.
Alright.
Alright,
are you ready?
Hello
Chicago!
Oh,
everybody.
All right.
I'm going to bring down the house.
Chicago.
It's good to be home.
President never.
It is good to be home.
And I don't
know about
you, but I'm feeling fired up.
Hell yeah.
I,
I am feeling ready to go.
Even if, even if I am the
only person stupid enough to
speak after Michelle Obama.
Hell yeah.
I am feeling hopeful.
Because this convention
has always been hopeful.
I'm pretty good to kids with funny
names who believe in a country
where anything is possible.
Because we have a chance to elect
someone who has spent her entire
life trying to give people the
same chances America gave her.
Someone who sees you, and hears
you, and will get up every
single day and fight for you.
The next president of the United
States of America, Kamala Harris.
Hell yeah.
It's been 16 years since I had
the honor of accepting this
party's nomination for president.
And I know that's hard to believe
because I have not aged a bit.
But it's true.
It's true.
And, and looking back, I can say
without question that my first
big decision as your nominee
turned out to be one of my best.
And that was asking Joe Biden to
serve by my side as Vice President.
Hell yeah!
Uh, uh,
other, other than some common Irish blood,
Joe and I come from different backgrounds.
But we became brothers.
And as we worked together for eight
sometimes pretty tough years, what I
came to admire most about Joe wasn't
just his smarts, his experience, it
was his empathy, and his decency,
and his hard earned resilience, his
unshakable belief that everyone in
this country deserves a fair shot.
And over the last four years, those
are the values America has needed most.
At a time when millions of our fellow
citizens were sick and dying, we needed
a leader with the character to put
politics aside and do what was right.
At a time when our economy was
reeling, we needed a leader with the
determination to drive what would become
the world's strongest recovery, America.
Fifteen million jobs, higher
wages, lower health care costs.
Hell yeah.
At a time when the other party had turned
into a cult of personality, we needed a
leader who was steady and brought people
together and was selfless enough to do
the rarest thing there is in politics.
Putting his own ambition aside
for the sake of the country.
History.
We'll remember Joe Biden as an
outstanding president who defended
democracy at a moment of great danger.
And I am proud to call him
my president, but I am even
prouder to call him my friend.
Hell
yeah!
Now,
the torch has been passed.
Now, it is up to all of us to fight
for the America we believe in.
And make no mistake, it will be a fight.
For all the incredible energy we've
been able to generate over the last few
weeks, for all the rallies and the memes,
this will still be a tight race
in a closely divided country
a country where too many
Americans are still struggling,
where a lot of Americans don't
believe government can help.
And as we gather here tonight, the
people who will decide this election
are asking a very simple question.
Who will fight for me?
Who's thinking about my future?
About my children's future?
About our future together?
One thing is for certain, Donald Trump
is not losing sleep over that question.
Here's a
78 year old billionaire.
Who has not stopped whining about
his problems since he rode down his
golden escalator nine years ago.
It has been a constant stream of, of
gripes and grievances that, that's
actually been getting worse now that
he's afraid of losing to Kamala.
There's the childish nicknames,
the crazy conspiracy theories.
This weird obsession with crowd sizes.
It
just goes on and on and on.
The other day I heard someone compare
Trump to the neighbor who keeps
running his leaf blower outside your
window every minute of every day.
That's annoying
Now, from a neighbor, that's exhausting.
From a president,
it's just dangerous.
The truth is, Donald Trump sees power as
nothing more than a means to his ends.
He wants the middle class to pay the
price for another huge tax cut that would
mostly help him and his rich friends.
He killed a bipartisan deal written in
part by one of the most conservative
Republicans in Congress that would have
helped secure our southern border because
he thought trying to actually solve
the problem would hurt his campaign.
He doesn't,
do not boo, vote,
he
doesn't seem to care if more women
lose their reproductive freedom
since it won't affect his life.
And most of all, Donald Trump wants
us to think that this country is
hopelessly divided between us and them.
between the real Americans, who of course
support him, and the outsiders who don't.
And he wants you to think that you'll
be richer and safer if you will
just give him the power to put those
other people back in their place.
It, it is one of the
oldest tricks in politics.
From a guy whose act has, let's
face it, gotten pretty stale.
We do not need four more years.
A bluster, and bumbling, and chaos.
We have seen that movie before, and we
all know that the sequel is usually worse.
Hell
yeah.
Hell yeah.
America's ready for a new chapter.
America's ready for a better story.
We are ready for a
president, Kamala Harris.
Hell yeah.
Say
no more.
And Kamala Harris is ready for the job.
This is a person who has spent her
life fighting on behalf of people
who need a voice and a champion.
As you heard from Michelle, Kamala
was not born into privilege.
She had to work for what she's got.
And she actually cares about people.
She's not the neighbor running the
leaf blower, she's the neighbor rushing
over to help when you need a hand.
As a prosecutor, Kamala stood
up for children who had been
victims of sexual abuse.
As an Attorney General of the most
populous state in the country, she
fought big banks and for profit colleges,
securing billions of dollars
for the people they had scammed.
After the home mortgage crisis, she pushed
me and my administration hard to make
sure homeowners got a fair settlement.
Didn't matter that I was a Democrat.
Didn't matter that she had knocked
on doors for my campaign in Iowa.
She was going to fight to get
as much relief as possible for
the families who deserved it.
As Vice President, she helped take on
the drug companies to cap the cost of
insulin, lower the cost of health care.
Thank you.
Give families with kids a tax cut.
And she is running for president with
real plans to lower costs even more and
protect Medicare and Medicaid and sign
a law to guarantee every woman's right
to make her own health care decisions.
Hell yeah!
In other words, Kamala Harris
won't be focused on her problems.
She'll be focused on yours.
As president, she won't just cater.
To her own supporters and punish those who
refuse to kiss the ring or bend the knee.
She'll work on behalf of every American.
That's who Kamala is.
And in the White House, she will have an
outstanding partner in Governor Tim Walz.
Wait, let me tell you something.
Let me tell you something.
I love this guy.
Tim is the kind of person
who should be in politics.
Born in a small town, served his
country, taught kids, coached
football, took care of his neighbors.
He knows who he is, and
he knows what's important.
You can tell those flannel shirts he wears
don't come from some political consultant.
They come from his closet, and
they have been through some stuff.
Hell yeah.
They have been
through some stuff.
That's right.
That's his wife.
Together,
Kamala and Tim have kept faith
with America's central story.
A story that says we
are all created equal.
All of us endowed with
certain inalienable rights.
That everyone deserves a chance that even
when we don't agree with each other, We
can find a way to live with each other.
That's Kamala's vision.
That's Tim's vision.
That's the Democratic Party's vision.
And our job over the next 11 weeks
is to convince as many people as
possible to vote for that vision.
Now it won't be easy.
The other side knows.
It's easier to play on
people's fears and cynicism.
Always has been.
They will tell you that
government is inherently corrupt.
That, that sacrifice and
generosity are for suckers.
And since the game is rigged,
it's okay to take what you want
and just look after your own.
That's the easy path.
We have a different task.
Our job is to convince people that
democracy can actually deliver.
For more UN videos visit www.
un.
org
And, and in doing that, we can't just
point to what we've already accomplished.
We can't just rely on
the ideas of the past.
We need to chart a new way forward
to meet the challenges of today.
And Kamala understands this.
She knows, for example, that if
we want to make it easier for
more young people to buy a home.
We need to build more units and clear
away some of the outdated laws and
regulations that made it harder to build
homes for working people in this country.
That is a priority, and she's put
out a bold new plan to do just that.
On healthcare, we should all be proud
of the enormous progress that we've
made through the Affordable Care Act,
providing millions of people access
to affordable coverage, protecting
millions more from unscrupulous
insurance practices, and I noticed by
the way that since it's become popular,
they don't call it Obamacare no more.
Woo hoo hoo!
But, Kamala knows we can't stop
there, which is why she'll keep
working to limit out of pocket costs.
Kamala knows that if we want
to help people get ahead, we
We need to put a college degree
within reach of more Americans.
But, but she also knows college shouldn't
be the only ticket to the middle class.
We need to follow the lead of governors
like Tim Walz, who said, if you've got the
skills and the drive, you shouldn't need
a degree to work for state government.
And in this new economy, we need
a president who actually cares.
About the millions of people all
across this country who wake up
every single day to do the essential.
Often thankless work to care
for our sick, to clean our
streets, to deliver our packages.
We need a president who will stand
up for their right to bargain for
better wages and working conditions.
And Kamala will be that president.
Yes she can.
Yes she can.
A Harris Waltz administration.
can help us move past some of the tired
old debates that keep stifling progress.
Because at their core, Kamala and Tim
understand that when everybody gets
a fair shot, we are all better off.
They understand that when every
child gets a good education,
the whole economy gets stronger.
When women are paid the same
as men for doing the same
job, we All families benefit.
They understand that we can
secure our borders without tearing
kids away from their parents.
Just like we can keep our streets
safe while also building trust between
law enforcement and the communities
they serve, and eliminating bias that
will make it better for everybody.
Donald Trump and his well-heeled donors,
they don't see the world that way.
For them, one group's gains is
necessarily another group's loss.
For them, freedom means that the
powerful can do pretty much what they
please, whether it's fire workers
trying to organize a union, or put
poison in our rivers, or avoid paying
taxes like everybody else has to do.
Well, we have a broader idea of freedom.
We believe in the freedom to
provide for your family if
you're willing to work hard.
The freedom to breathe clean air and drink
clean water and send your kids to school
without worrying if they'll come home.
We believe that true freedom
gives each of us the right to
make decisions about our own life.
How we worship, what our family
looks like, how many kids we have.
Who we marry and we believe that
freedom requires us to recognize that
other people have the freedom to make
choices that are different than ours.
That's okay.
That's the America Kamala
Harris and Tim Walz believe in.
An America where we the
people includes everyone.
Because that's the only way
this American experiment works.
And despite what our politics
might suggest, I think most
Americans understand that.
Democracy isn't just a bunch
of abstract principles and, and
dusty laws in some book somewhere.
It's the values we live by.
It's the way we treat each other.
Including those who don't look
like us, or pray like us, or see
the world exactly like we do.
That's
it.
That sense of mutual respect
has to be part of our message.
Our politics have become so polarized
these days, that all of us across the
political spectrum seem so quick to
assume the worst in others, unless they
agree with us on every single issue.
We start thinking that the only
way to win is to scold and shame
and out yell the other side.
And after a while, regular
folks just tune out.
Or they don't bother to vote.
Now, that approach may work for
the politicians who just want
attention and thrive on division.
But it won't work for us to make progress
on the things we care about, the things
that really affect people's lives.
We need to remember that we've all
got our blind spots and contradictions
and prejudices, and that if we want
to win over those who aren't yet
ready to support our candidates.
We need to listen to their concerns, and
maybe learn something in the process.
After all,
if a parent or grandparent occasionally
says something that makes us cringe,
we don't automatically
assume they're bad people.
We recognize that the world is moving
fast, that they need time and maybe
a little encouragement to catch up.
Our fellow citizens deserve the same
grace we hope they'll extend to us.
That's how we can build a true democratic
majority, one that can get things done.
And by the way, that does not just
matter to the people in this country.
The rest of the world is watching to
see if we can actually pull this off.
Hell yeah!
No Nation!
No society has ever tried to
build a democracy as big and
as diverse as ours before.
One that includes people that,
over decades, have come from
every corner of the globe.
One where our allegiances and our
community are defined not by race
or blood, but by a common creed.
And that's why, when we uphold our
values, the world's a little brighter.
When we don't, the world's a
little dimmer, and dictators and
autocrats feel emboldened, and
over time we become less safe.
We shouldn't be the world's policemen,
and we can't eradicate every
cruelty and injustice in the world.
But America can be and must be a
force for good, discouraging conflict,
fighting disease, promoting human rights,
protecting the planet from climate change.
Defending freedom.
Brokering peace.
That's what Kamala Harris
believes, and so do most Americans.
Now, I, I,
I, I, I know these ideas can
feel pretty naive right now.
We live in a time of such
confusion and rancor.
With a culture that puts a
premium on things that don't last.
That's what I believe.
Money, fame, status, likes.
We chase the approval of
strangers on our phones.
We build all manner of walls and
fences around ourselves, and then
we wonder why we feel so alone.
We don't trust each other as much because
we don't take the time to know each other.
And in that space between us,
politicians and algorithms teach
us to caricature each other.
But
here's the good news, Chicago.
All across America, in big cities
and small towns, away from all
the noise, the ties that bind
us together are still there.
We still coach Little League and
look out for our elderly neighbors.
We still feed the hungry in churches
and mosques and synagogues and temples.
We share the same pride when our
Olympic athletes compete for the gold.
Because, because the vast majority
of us do not want to live in a
country that's bitter and divided.
We want something better.
We want to be better.
And the joy and the excitement
that we're seeing around this
campaign Tells us we're not alone.
You know, I've spent a lot of time
thinking about this these past few
months because, as Michelle mentioned,
uh, this summer we lost her mom, Ms.
Marion Robinson.
And I don't know that anybody
has ever loved their mother in
law any more than I love mine.
Mostly it's because she was funny and wise
and the least pretentious person I knew.
That and she always defended me
with Michelle when I messed up.
I'd hide behind her.
But I also think one of the reasons
Mary and I became so close was
she reminded me of my grandmother.
The woman who helped raise me as a child.
And on the surface, the two of
them did not have a lot in common.
One was a black woman.
I don't know.
From right here, south side of
Chicago, right down the way.
Went to Englewood High School.
The other was a little old white lady
born in a tiny town called Peru, Kansas.
Now I know there aren't
that many people from Peru.
And yet they shared
a basic outlook on life.
They were strong, smart,
resourceful women.
Full of common sense.
Who, regardless of the barriers they
encountered, and women growing up in
the 40s 60s, they encountered barriers,
they still went about their business
without fuss or complaint and provided
an unshakable foundation of love for
their children and their grandchildren.
In that sense, they both represented
an entire generation of working people.
who through war and depression,
discrimination and limited
opportunity, helped build this country.
A lot of them toiled every day
at jobs that were often too small
for them and didn't pay a lot.
They willingly went without
just to keep a roof over the
family's heads, just to give
their children something better.
But they knew what was true.
They knew what mattered.
Things like honesty and integrity,
kindness, and hard work.
They weren't, they weren't
impressed with braggarts or bullies.
They, they, they, they, they, they
didn't think putting other people
down lifted you up or made you strong.
They didn't spend a lot of time
obsessing about what they didn't have.
Instead, they appreciated what they did.
They found pleasure in simple things.
A card game with friends.
A good meal and laughter
around the kitchen table.
Helping others.
And most of all, seeing
their children grow.
Do things and go places that they would
have never imagined for themselves.
Whether you are a Democrat or a Republican
or somewhere in between, we have all
had people like that in our lives.
People like Kamala's parents,
who crossed oceans because they
believed in the promise of America.
People like Tim's parents, who taught
him about the importance of service.
Good, hard working people who weren't
famous or powerful, but who managed in
countless ways to lead this country just
a little bit better than they found it.
As much as any policy or program, I
believe that's what we yearn for, a return
to an America where we work together.
A restoration of what Lincoln
called, on the eve of civil war,
our bonds of affection.
An America that taps what he called
the better angels of our nature.
That is what this election is about.
And I believe that's why, if we each
do our part over the next 77 days.
If we knock on doors, if we make phone
calls, if we talk to our friends,
if we listen to our neighbors, if we
work like we've never worked before,
if we hold firm to our convictions,
we will elect Kamala Harris as
the next President of the United
States, and Tim Walz as the next
Vice President of the United States.
We will elect leaders up and down the
ballot who will fight for the hopeful,
forward looking America we all believe in.
And together, we too will build
a country that is more secure and
more just, more equal, for all.
So let's get to work.
God bless you.
And God bless the United States
of America.
Say no more.
So what did you think of the speech there?
It was good, it was good, it was good.
I mean, what I expected.
I expected him to um, deliver a strong
message endorsing Kamala, you know.
Um, I think that um,
It was a tough act to follow
coming in after Michelle.
She was fiery.
She was fiery.
He was just cool, calm,
and collected, as always.
Very targeted with his message.
Yeah, I thought it went well.
I think he had some good zingers in there,
but I think Michelle was more poignant
and more of a good political figure.
Uh, speech, but I think for him, he was
just sort of looking at it where, you
know, how Trump is, you know, how he
articulates and versus how Kamala does.
I think he's trying to make
a distinction there for sure.
I mean, he's trying to point out like
the differences in their approach.
Yeah, and yeah, it will be kind
of interesting to sort of see how
that moves forward and everything.
Bye, Tom.
Yeah, it's, um, it's amazing.
It's another, you know,
interesting evening as always.
What we have been doing so I keep
you know Another two nights of it.
What do you expect the next two nights?
I'm expect well You know last night
was a star studded cast as well, but
they had a star studded cast And the
way they orchestrated it from their
lineup, it, it kept every, the energy
was building and intensifying, you
know, tonight it was more of, you
were just waiting for the finale.
Right.
And so, so we were waiting for
Michelle and Obama to speak tonight.
And, um, I agree.
I, they were more organized.
I think what's kind of threw it off
to, they went through the roll call of
delegates, you know, being pledged, even
though they already had been done already
electronically, they formally went through
that, but in the course there, by giving
their goofy speeches and, you know, I was
like, I just can't, I don't know, I can't
stand the Republican or Democrat when
they, uh, convention when they do that,
you know, give these dumb speeches, so.
Well,
I,
I, I'll, I'll say, you know, um,
the speaker tonight, you know, it
wasn't just the, um, the roll call.
It was, it was just some
of the speakers tonight.
They just didn't, they
didn't have that intensity.
I guess opening night, they put
their bet, they started strong.
You had the union speaking, talking about.
Um, you know, what do you have,
you know, he had on his little,
his little prop, the Trump shirt.
And so it's a lot more of a
lot more intensive last night.
Yeah.
Well, you think you had AOC, you
had, of course the, um, fame from,
um, UAW course, you know, I thought
Hillary Clinton did a good speech.
And also I think, you know, Biden,
you know, I know he had his stumbles,
I understand where we are with them.
But I thought his speech was definitely
not, not compared to Obama or Michelle,
but I think his speech was definitely
better than the rest of the group tonight.
Yeah, I think his speech was more on par
with the Michelle's, um, the Hillary's
and, and, um, And the barracks, you know,
I mean, but we, but I expected that,
you
know, you know, his could have been
hit or miss from what we've seen
in the past, but he came out with,
with great fire last night, great
intensity and passion in this speech.
It was almost like it
was his farewell speech.
Yeah.
It's going to set it up very
interesting for, you know, vice
president Harris's speech on Thursday.
And, um, And it will be interesting
to sort of see, you compare it
to all the speeches out there.
I know it's going to be a lot
of pressure upon her to, you
know, deliver a good message.
And a part of that is strategic, you
know, last night, Hillary and, and,
um, Biden tonight, Obama's, you know,
tomorrow, Clinton and, and Walsh,
and then Thursday, it's just her.
So she's not going to have someone truly.
That she's, you know, Obama had
to contend with, with Michelle.
I didn't have to contend with anyone
because they put Hillary so far ahead of
them that she just kept the energy and
it was just anticipation and buildup.
But we saw that also for the Republican
one, the first two nights were dynamic
and then it went downhill after
that, you know, that, you know, that
Wednesday, Thursday, he just, um,
Just wasn't, wasn't there for sure.
So maybe, hopefully, uh, the
other two nights will be okay.
But as always, I know everybody's
going to be watching, you know,
the Trump supporters and, uh, vice
president Harris supporters or any
other supporters out there, definitely.
