Speaker | Time | Text |
---|---|---|
You know, this was supposed to be President Joe Biden's week in the sun. | ||
He was going to be nominated to try to win a second term as president and end the convention with a rousing speech on Thursday. | ||
Instead, he speaks on this, the opening night. | ||
And it's a speech that we're told will be an address focused on his legacy and at the same time turning the page to a new generation of leadership. | ||
One unusual item. | ||
Delegates tonight are set to approve a party platform that still refers to President Biden's second term. | ||
This afternoon, the Harris campaign announced as president she wants to raise the corporate tax rate to 28 percent. | ||
Another detail in the economic plan she started to unveil on Friday. | ||
Senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy is here in Chicago. | ||
He starts us off tonight live on the floor. | ||
Good evening, Peter. | ||
Good evening, Brett. | ||
A few minutes ago, we saw President Biden on stage doing a walkthrough ahead of his address tonight. | ||
And in video that we have from this walkthrough, he appears kind of downtrodden. | ||
His mic wasn't turned on. | ||
He was barely speaking above a whisper. | ||
But when somebody asked him if this is a bittersweet moment, he said it is a memorable moment. | ||
unidentified
|
Mr. President, are you ready to pass the torch, sir? | |
Are you ready to pass the torch, sir? | ||
I am. | ||
Biden aides tell us the president's pitch tonight will be, with Kamala Harris and Tim Walls, we must ensure democracy is preserved. | ||
unidentified
|
He's going to be giving a speech, I think, that will look very much forward, as her campaign is, into what comes next. | |
You know, this is not a time for legacy. | ||
This is a time for arguing why Kamala Harris is the best candidate. | ||
Not according to the DNC's official platform, which was voted on July 16th, five days before Biden dropped out, and still included 21 references to President Biden's second term when it was released. | ||
With lines like this one on page three, President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Democrats are running to finish the job. | ||
unidentified
|
You can tell right now by what very few proposals... | |
That Kamala Harris has put on the table, she doesn't have a clue. | ||
The Harris campaign website still doesn't list any policy proposals, but officials tell us she wants to hike the corporate tax rate from 21% They will be fighting for a progressive agenda. | ||
I don't see any hard feelings. | ||
unidentified
|
I mean, I think that has been way overblown. | |
They can wait till Friday when the convention is over. | ||
unidentified
|
Look, I'll be the first to admit, Democrats are not perfect. | |
But you know what? | ||
They're nuts. | ||
unidentified
|
And that's what this is all about here today. | |
President Biden's aides are telling us he's happy with the momentum the Harris-Walls ticket has been making since he dropped out. | ||
And he is going to be the headliner tonight. | ||
But because his 2020 convention happened in a Delaware parking lot, he's never accepted a nomination for president in a crowded convention hall. | ||
And he never will, Brett. | ||
unidentified
|
We're going to need to go ahead and move you downstairs into storage B. We have some new people coming in and we need all the space we can get. | |
So if you could just go ahead and pack up your stuff and move it down there, that would be terrific. | ||
Okay. | ||
I could stay. | ||
Excuse me. | ||
I believe you have my stapler. | ||
I believe you have my stapler. | ||
All right, ladies and gentlemen, we are live here inside of the Benny Bunker at the DNC. | ||
Well, technically, we are in Chicago. | ||
We're not inside the DNC. | ||
There are not that many people inside the DNC. | ||
They had a lot of trouble getting people in. | ||
There are actually more protesters outside of the DNC, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
And we can see here from today, the protesters were tearing down the wall. | ||
Mr. Gorbachev. | ||
Tear down this wall! | ||
Tear it down! | ||
The protesters, total and complete chaos at the DNC. | ||
They were ripping the walls down. | ||
They're fighting with cops. | ||
Everyone's angry. | ||
Everyone's pissed. | ||
Everyone's upset with each other. | ||
And it is disunity. | ||
It is such a diss to Joe Biden, what they're about to do to this sad, poor little man tonight. | ||
It is such an insult to Joe. | ||
He's about to schlep on stage and have to play second fiddle to Hillary Clinton, the person who Barack Obama... | ||
Passed him over for in 2016 just to go on to lose to Donald Trump. | ||
So really embarrassing here. | ||
Hundreds of thousands of protesters marching through the streets, marching to the DNC. | ||
Look at this image. | ||
Look at this. | ||
Hundreds of thousands of protesters calling Kamala a war criminal. | ||
Calling Joe Biden a war criminal and taking over the DNC. | ||
There's more protesters than there are delegates at the DNC. | ||
That is the vibe right now. | ||
And that is something that also caused cops to threaten to pepper spray and use gases to get the protesters away because they were so close to the DNC. | ||
You see, they literally tore the gates. | ||
Down. | ||
They tore the walls down at the DNC. | ||
Should have let Donald Trump build your wall. | ||
Should have let Trump build your wall. | ||
That's what you get. | ||
Tonight, we are going to get something very special at the DNC. | ||
Will we get a Joe Biden resignation? | ||
We're not exactly sure. | ||
We just have this photo of a U-Haul in front of the White House. | ||
I don't know. | ||
We're not sure. | ||
Why wouldn't they do that? | ||
Why wouldn't they say, hey, just get the hell out of here? | ||
Like, you really think they're going to pass up on the diversity hire, on the historic moment, on the first black woman president, and, like, forcing that to happen? | ||
You think they're going to leave that to chance? | ||
They're going to kick Biden out. | ||
Biden is being treated worse than a dog here at the DNC. | ||
It's absolutely despicable. | ||
It's really, really sad. | ||
And, ladies and gentlemen, it's just borderline depressing. | ||
Check this out. | ||
This is from Nancy Pelosi earlier today. | ||
Again, they're just kind of like idiots blathering on stage right now. | ||
We'll cut to the DNC programming, I guess, here in just a little bit. | ||
We're going to wait for people, you know, people technically that we know, you know, like that are going to be up there. | ||
We have, I guess you can see, you can see. | ||
I don't know who these people are, so... | ||
I don't know. | ||
ALX, producer ALX is with us. | ||
He can tell us when anything's good. | ||
Here, this is good. | ||
Nancy Pelosi earlier today saying, I did what I had to do, straight up, Coley-owned family. | ||
There was a hit job on Joe Biden. | ||
Nancy Pelosi, the person who threatened Joe Biden with the 25th Amendment, said that we are going to remove you from office, we'll side with Republicans, and we'll impeach you. | ||
And you saw today, Republicans released the impeachment documents on Joe Biden. | ||
So Democrats said, no, if you don't leave office, we are going to impeach you. | ||
And then better yet, wait till you see what we have in your family. | ||
They brought in all the dirty. | ||
What do you think? | ||
They're going to let Joe Biden become president without leverage? | ||
They got leverage on the guy. | ||
They brought in all the leverage and they said, you're done. | ||
And we already wrote the letter and we signed it for you. | ||
Here's Nancy Pelosi. | ||
unidentified
|
You know what? | |
How do you talk to him? | ||
I have to do what I have to do. | ||
Right. | ||
He made the decision. | ||
For the country. | ||
My concern was not about the president. | ||
It was about his campaign. | ||
I had to do what I had to do. | ||
Oh man, they're so evil. | ||
Joe Biden earlier today, do we got that? | ||
We got Joe Biden wandering around the stage earlier today, looking pretty depressing. | ||
We got Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton tonight on stage. | ||
We also got Charlie Kirk in the studio tonight. | ||
This has been very interesting outside of the United Center, which is what it's called in Chicago. | ||
United Center, absolute chaos, line after line after line, hundreds of people waiting to get in. | ||
One and a half hours after the program started, staff, delegates, media, everyone is stuck outside. | ||
But they're not missing a lot. | ||
They're missing cringe like this, okay? | ||
Check this out. | ||
This is what some, like, no-name weirdo state senator from Michigan, I believe, had to say. | ||
They're clearly setting her up, right, to run after Big Gretch gets in. | ||
Here we go. | ||
unidentified
|
Donald Trump would be able to weaponize the Department of Justice to go after his political opponents. | |
He could even turn the FBI into his own personal police force. | ||
That is not how it works in America! | ||
That's how it works in dictatorships! | ||
Yeah. | ||
Okay. | ||
We got that Kathy Hochul clip? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah? | |
Yes? | ||
Okay. | ||
Amazing. | ||
Because Kathy Hochul, the governor of New York, she was on seconds after that, talking, like, making jokes about Donald Trump. | ||
Like, making jokes about how Trump is, uh, yeah, not coming to New York except for to get charged by the charges that we set up for him. | ||
Also, this lady does this forked tongue thing. | ||
I don't understand that. | ||
Don't understand it. | ||
What is this? | ||
Who is it? | ||
What the hell is going on here? | ||
What is that? | ||
Oh, geez. | ||
You see this? | ||
Look at this. | ||
What? | ||
Who are these people? | ||
Somebody call an exorcist. | ||
Look at that. | ||
Look at that. | ||
Someone call an exorcist. | ||
Psychotic. | ||
Where's Kathy Hochul? | ||
unidentified
|
Got him? | |
Go! | ||
unidentified
|
Trump hasn't spent much time in New York lately. | |
Except that is to get convicted of 34 felonies. | ||
And that's just fine with us. | ||
Irony is dead. | ||
Look at this. | ||
unidentified
|
You got, uh, Kathy Hochul. | |
Joking about how many felonies that President Trump has in New York. | ||
Like, it's a laugh line. | ||
It's a laugh line. | ||
It's a joke. | ||
And then you have this state senator saying, if Donald Trump gets in, then he might weaponize the Justice Department against a political opponent. | ||
Irony is dead. | ||
Irony is completely and totally dead. | ||
Here's some of the other things that you have missed if you were not watching. | ||
What's that? | ||
Uh-oh. | ||
All right, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
We got Hillary on the stage. | ||
Let's rock and roll. | ||
We got live at the DNC convention, Hillary Clinton on the stage right now. | ||
unidentified
|
Whoa! | |
She looks rough. | ||
He has been democracy's champion at home and abroad. | ||
He brought dignity. | ||
Decency and confidence back to the White House. | ||
And he showed what it means to be a true patriot. | ||
Thank you Joe Biden for your lifetime of service and leadership. | ||
We're writing a new chapter in America's story. | ||
You know, my mother Dorothy was born right here in Chicago before women had the right to vote. | ||
That changed 104 years ago yesterday. | ||
Think about it. | ||
Tennessee became the final state. | ||
To ratify the 19th Amendment to the Constitution. | ||
The state legislature was deadlocked until one lawmaker's mother, a widow who read three newspapers a day, sent a letter, a letter to her son. | ||
"No more delays," she wrote. | ||
"Give us the vote." And since that day, every generation has carried the torch forward. | ||
In 1972, a fearless black congresswoman named Shirley Chisholm! | ||
Man, I do not miss, I do not miss this screechy, screechy. | ||
And her determination let me and millions of others dream bigger, not just because of who she was, but because of who she fought for. | ||
Working parents, poor children, the last, the least, and the lost. | ||
In 1984, I brought my daughter to see Geraldine Ferraro, the first woman nominated for vice president. | ||
This is like a verbal vasectomy. | ||
If we can do this, Jerry said, we can do anything. | ||
And then there was 2016 when it was the honor of my life to accept our party's nomination for president. | ||
Nearly 66 million Americans voted for a future where there are no ceilings on our dreams. | ||
Dude, Trump beats you. | ||
You're still so angry about it. | ||
And afterwards, we refused to give up on America. | ||
Millions marched. | ||
Many ran for office. | ||
We kept our eyes on the future. | ||
Well, my friends, the future is here. | ||
unidentified
|
To Nancy Pelosi. | |
It's 90-year-old Nancy Pelosi. | ||
The future is here. | ||
I wish my mother and Kamala's mother could see us. | ||
They would say, keep going. | ||
Shirley and Jerry would say, keep going. | ||
The future is here, says 80-year-old Hillary Clinton from Epstein Island. | ||
unidentified
|
Women. | |
Women fighting for reproductive health care. | ||
We are saying keep going! | ||
Families building better lives, parents stretching to afford childcare, young people struggling to pay the rent. | ||
They're all asking us to keep going. | ||
unidentified
|
Keep going! | |
Faith in each other and joy in our hearts. | ||
Let's send Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to the White House! | ||
The dentures are slipping. | ||
You can see it. | ||
You can see the dentures nearly out of her mouth. | ||
You know, the story of my life and the history of our country is that. | ||
Progress is possible, but not guaranteed. | ||
We have to fight for it and never, ever give up. | ||
There is always a choice. | ||
Do we push forward or pull back? | ||
Come together as we the people or split into us versus them? | ||
That's the choice we face in this election. | ||
Kamala has the character, experience, Yeah, Bill's choice in the White House. | ||
Do I push forward or pull out? | ||
I know her heart and her integrity. | ||
We both got our start as young lawyers helping children who were abused and neglected. | ||
Oh, like your husband on Epstein Island. | ||
Like your husband on Epstein Island! | ||
unidentified
|
Talk about abused children, you witch. | |
Kamala carries with her the hopes of every child she protected, every family she helped, every community she served. | ||
So as president, she will always have our backs. | ||
And she will be a fighter for us. | ||
She will fight to lower costs for hardworking families. | ||
Open the doors wide for good paying jobs and yes, she will restore abortion rights nationwide. | ||
Bill Clinton, happiest about that. | ||
This is despicable. | ||
Bill Clinton flew on the Lolita Express 37 different times. | ||
And you're talking about abused children? | ||
Kamala locked up murderers and drug traffickers. | ||
She will never rest in defense of our freedom and safety. | ||
Donald Trump fell asleep at his own trial. | ||
And when he woke up, he made his own kind of history. | ||
The first person to run for president with 34 felony convictions. | ||
Well, he hasn't actually been—he's not actually a felon yet, but he's also an outlaw. | ||
Outlaw president. | ||
Outlaw president's badass. | ||
Nope. | ||
Nope. | ||
As Vice President Kamala sat in the Situation Room. | ||
Oh, man. | ||
Trump, you should have locked her up, man. | ||
Trump, you had... | ||
Trump should have locked her up. | ||
I love my boy, but they've told us the story before. | ||
Trump wanted to be, like, thought it would divide the country to not lock up Hillary. | ||
We also know as Vice President, Kamala sat in the Situation Room and stood for America's values. | ||
I know what it takes, and I can tell you, as Commander-in-Chief, Kamala won't disrespect our military and our veterans. | ||
Oh, really? | ||
What about the 13 that she killed? | ||
What about Benghazi? | ||
How about you? | ||
She reveres our Medal of Honor recipients. | ||
unidentified
|
Really? | |
Say the word Benghazi. | ||
Say it. | ||
She won't be sending love letters to dictators. | ||
unidentified
|
Really? | |
She will defend democracy and our Constitution and will protect America from enemies, foreign and domestic. | ||
Say Abbey Gate. | ||
The Constitution says the president's job is to take care that the laws be faithfully executed. | ||
Those are the words of our founders. | ||
Take care. | ||
Just look at the candidates. | ||
Kamala cares. | ||
Cares about kids and families. | ||
Cares about America. | ||
Donald only cares about himself. | ||
On her first day in court, Kamala said five words that still guide her. | ||
Kamala Harris for the people. | ||
That is something that Donald Trump will never understand. | ||
So it is no surprise, is it, that he is lying about Kamala's record? | ||
He's mocking her name and her laugh. | ||
Oh, there we go with the name. | ||
unidentified
|
Sounds familiar. | |
That's right, Crook and Hillary. | ||
We have him on the run now. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
Mocking? | ||
Her laugh and her name. | ||
No matter what the polls say, we can't let up. | ||
We can't get driven down crazy conspiracy rabbit holes. | ||
We have to fight for the truth. | ||
We have to fight for Kamala as she will fight for us. | ||
Because you know what? | ||
It still takes a village to raise a family, heal a country, and win a campaign! | ||
unidentified
|
I ain't always tired! | |
I've come too far! | ||
And America needs every one of us. | ||
Our energy, our talents, our dreams. | ||
We're not just electing a president, we're uplifting our nation. | ||
We're opening the promise of America wide enough for everyone. | ||
Together, we put a lot of cracks in the highest, hardest glass ceiling. | ||
And tonight, so close to breaking through once and for all, I want to tell you what I see through all those cracks. | ||
And why it matters for each and every one of us. | ||
What do I see? | ||
I see freedom. | ||
I see the freedom to make our own decisions about our health, our lives, our loves, our families. | ||
Unless it's COVID, of course. | ||
Then we'll shut down your business and lock you away. | ||
The freedom to work with dignity and prosper. | ||
To worship as we choose or not. | ||
To speak our minds freely and honestly. | ||
I see freedom from fear and intimidation, from violence and injustice, from chaos and corruption. | ||
I see the freedom to look our children in the eye and say, "In America, you can go as far as your hard work and talent will take you." Oh, she's so bad at this. | ||
On the other side of that glass ceiling is Kamala Harris raising her hand and taking the oath of office as our 47th President of the United States. | ||
Oh, she's so bad. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, wow. | |
No wonder you got your ass beat by Donald Trump. | ||
No wonder. | ||
Oh, it's so cringe. | ||
So hard to listen. | ||
My friends, when a barrier falls for one of us, it falls. | ||
unidentified
|
It falls and clears the way for all of us. | |
So for the next 78 days, we need to work harder than we ever have. | ||
We need to beat back the dangers that Trump and his allies pose to the rule of law and our way of life. | ||
Don't get distracted or complacent. | ||
Talk to your friends and neighbors. | ||
Volunteer. | ||
be proud champions for the truth and for the country that we all love. | ||
I want my grandchildren and their grandchildren To know I was here at this moment, that we were here, and that we were with Kamala Harris every step of the way. | ||
This is our time, America. | ||
This is when we stand up. | ||
This is when we break through. | ||
The future is here. | ||
It's in our grasp. | ||
Let's go with it. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, man. | |
Oh, they're doing the fucking song! | ||
No! | ||
They're doing the fucking song! | ||
Oh my gosh, I'm so mad. | ||
unidentified
|
You will never be president! | |
You will never be president! | ||
Okay, whoa. | ||
No, just mute it. | ||
Hold on, show it. | ||
You'll never be president. | ||
You'll never be president. | ||
So embarrassing. | ||
Unbelievably embarrassing. | ||
Ladies and gentlemen, we have some more friends to join us in this cringe. | ||
The great Charlie Kirk in the house. | ||
Sorry, I'm late. | ||
Rocking over. | ||
What up, King? | ||
How you doing, man? | ||
Great. | ||
All right. | ||
Hop on in here. | ||
I have my special DNC credentials. | ||
Oh, wow. | ||
Show the people. | ||
Yeah, let's... | ||
There we go. | ||
By the way, this is the weirdest... | ||
You want to talk weird? | ||
They put the chair of the DNC on the credential, like Jamie Harrison. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, good. | |
Okay. | ||
It's kind of like when you land in Phoenix. | ||
Like, I am Mayor Kate Gallego. | ||
Yeah, that's right. | ||
We have something like that in Tampa. | ||
So, this is my official credential. | ||
So, what's the rest of that? | ||
It's like a bridge, but it looks kind of like a... | ||
First of all, don't insult Chicago, but this is very un-Chicagoan. | ||
Like, what is that? | ||
Yeah, exactly. | ||
That doesn't look like Chicago at all. | ||
You're from here. | ||
This looks like they repurposed their credential from their... | ||
Like, convention in Detroit or something. | ||
You're from around. | ||
You're from here. | ||
Yeah, and you're kind of from the region. | ||
You love Chicago. | ||
I love Chicago. | ||
I hate what it's become. | ||
They power-washed the city, man. | ||
They, like, they scrubbed the city. | ||
Eric Trump was on this morning being like, they moved out all the homeless camps from around Trump's house. | ||
Do you guys agree that there's still less police, though, than there were in Milwaukee? | ||
In Milwaukee, it felt like it was unbelievable. | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
It still feels a little bit scant here. | ||
There were less police, but they needed them today. | ||
They tore the wall down. | ||
I know. | ||
Democrats don't know how to build walls. | ||
The orcs breached Helm's Deep. | ||
That's right. | ||
Yeah. | ||
You've got to call the riders of Rohan. | ||
Benny, what I would give to have you come into the interior of the DNC with me, I'll tell you. | ||
I just walk these halls, and if looks could kill, I'd be dead a hundred times over. | ||
Oh, yeah. | ||
In a minute. | ||
Oh, my goodness. | ||
People come up to me. | ||
I effing hate you. | ||
You're the worst thing ever. | ||
You're awful. | ||
How'd you get in here? | ||
You know what I say? | ||
I thought you guys love open borders. | ||
There's no background check. | ||
unidentified
|
No betting. | |
Drives them crazy. | ||
There was. | ||
They approved our credentials, and then they took it away from us. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Charlie Kirk show credentials. | ||
There you go. | ||
Right there. | ||
Okay, so wait a second. | ||
You were on the Young Kirk. | ||
Young Kirk's. | ||
You're on the Young Turks. | ||
They're renaming it the Young Turks. | ||
He agreed on air that it will be called the Young Turks. | ||
Okay, did he really? | ||
No, of course not. | ||
No, it's the Young Turks. | ||
Makes good content. | ||
I see the content. | ||
No, it's great. | ||
Yeah, we were on there for like 40 minutes. | ||
I did a lot of adversarial media today. | ||
It's great. | ||
Some crazy lunatic in an Antifa backpack sort of just came up and he just started screaming at me. | ||
Oh, it's unbelievable. | ||
And then the Georgia kid and the seersucker suit. | ||
Yeah, do we have that? | ||
Oh, it's stupid. | ||
I kid you not, like 20 seconds, I walk in, I'm just like looking at... | ||
Let me know when we're ready. | ||
I'm kind of like Hillary at her convention. | ||
I'm like looking up, you know, really impressed. | ||
Hillary just got off the stage. | ||
How'd you do? | ||
They did a lock him up chant for Trump. | ||
Did they? | ||
Yeah, that's right. | ||
And that speaker has been talking about how bad it would be to have President Trump because he'd weaponize the justice system. | ||
We have the feed up live. | ||
You can see what they're doing now. | ||
Is Biden on? | ||
Has Biden taken the stage? | ||
No. | ||
We have a little bit of a live. | ||
We have Clyburn up right now. | ||
So this is live. | ||
I bet Clyburn introduces Biden. | ||
I bet that's... | ||
Well, so actually, the list is actually quite extensive. | ||
We have Clyburn, Ratskin, Crockett, Jasmine Crockett. | ||
Is this in order? | ||
Yep. | ||
Grace Meng. | ||
Then they have a bunch of joint remarks from, who knows, Andy Beshear, then Warnock, then Jill, then Ashley, then Joe. | ||
So Joe's going to speak at like midnight, bro. | ||
Are they doing like sundowner syndrome 2.0 on Joe? | ||
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
This guy's going to be toast. | ||
This guy will be like, my fellow Americans, this is why we've declared war on Iran. | ||
A war we will win. | ||
Is he going to resign tonight? | ||
What do you think? | ||
No, no way. | ||
No way. | ||
People think he's going to resign the presidency. | ||
No way. | ||
No way he gives up that plane. | ||
They're not going to get the option. | ||
It's all about the perks. | ||
You think he's going to go back to flying commercial after this? | ||
He gets the plane for like six more months. | ||
They have the opportunity to guarantee their intersectional female president. | ||
Just get Joe Biden to step aside and you guarantee it, right? | ||
You don't have to leave anything up. | ||
You leave nothing up. | ||
Do you think that helps her election chances or hurts them? | ||
Hurts horribly, which is why I want it to happen. | ||
Because she'll come in and she'll say, hey, you know, all Americans get a free basketball, right, or something like that. | ||
She'll pass. | ||
She'll, like, declare something, you know, amazing, really special for the American people. | ||
And she'll run on that, right? | ||
They'll give her one big win, you know? | ||
Yeah, but, I mean, so that's a good question. | ||
Her not being president and the anticipation of her becoming president better or bigger than, you know, she's already president. | ||
She can look presidential, be at the Oval Office, you know, resolute desk. | ||
I mean, I'm just saying they have their shot, their wide open goal right now. | ||
And so I don't know. | ||
There was a U-Haul truck in front of the White House. | ||
Was there? | ||
Yeah, there was a U-Haul truck in front of the White House. | ||
I'm not sure. | ||
It could have just been for Hunter's Coke bags. | ||
We don't know. | ||
We're not sure. | ||
I don't think that. | ||
Biden will give up power. | ||
You don't think so. | ||
What did you see at the DNC? | ||
So you were trolling the DNC today. | ||
We do have the clip. | ||
Do you mind we play the— I was reporting. | ||
Oh, you were reporting. | ||
I'm a very serious journalist. | ||
So you—so we had—so there's a young man whose blood pumps with pure soy that came to you. | ||
Caffeinated soy, for the record. | ||
This guy pounded back like a six-shot espresso iced coffee this morning. | ||
Okay. | ||
He had a line of Adderall. | ||
And he was ready to roll. | ||
I think he's been ID'd as the guy dancing at the Megan Thee Stallion concert. | ||
Yeah, okay. | ||
Yeah, the other guy dancing was Tim Walz because he thought it was an actual stallion that was going to be on stage. | ||
But actually, unfortunately, just a rapper. | ||
You got to play this tape. | ||
Okay, so here we go. | ||
This guy comes out. | ||
Let's get audio on this. | ||
It's really something. | ||
Yeah, let's get audio on this. | ||
unidentified
|
Because we have a Republican governor and a Republican secretary of state in the state of Georgia. | |
What's your name? | ||
He said Parker? | ||
unidentified
|
My name's Parker. | |
We have a Republican governor and a Republican secretary of state in Georgia that approved our elections. | ||
And Donald Trump said that wasn't constitutional. | ||
Donald Trump tried to undermine our constitution. | ||
I just walked in. | ||
I'm here to just learn. | ||
unidentified
|
Hey, you're an anti-patriotic, anti-constitutional person crashing our party because you tried to spout our democracy. | |
I got one question. | ||
unidentified
|
Donald Trump called the secretary of state of Georgia and told him to find him some votes. | |
What is a woman? | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, my God. | |
That is so fucking weird, y 'all. | ||
Maybe you should meet one. | ||
I'm married to one. | ||
unidentified
|
Same. | |
Circuit breaker. | ||
unidentified
|
This is so easy. | |
That's it. | ||
I rest my case. | ||
So that dude just came up to you and started fronting? | ||
Like, no, but I'm literally... | ||
Like, all 101 pounds of him? | ||
I'm not exaggerating the timing. | ||
It was, like, walking in, Andrew and I wanted to just kind of get our bearings. | ||
You know, we know it's not the RNC. | ||
We're a guest here. | ||
We're pressed. | ||
Okay, we're not here to, like, pick a fight. | ||
And then this lunatic just starts filming me. | ||
By the way, he's shivering. | ||
Oh, yeah. | ||
They're always shaking. | ||
Yeah. | ||
They're always shaking. | ||
You're anti-patriotic! | ||
He's shaking. | ||
There's the videos all over the place he posted on TikTok. | ||
unidentified
|
What? | |
Was that his filming? | ||
No, that was Andrew. | ||
Oh, okay. | ||
Good job, Andrew. | ||
Way to be on the spot. | ||
You see, Andrew's been trained. | ||
He understands the turning point way, the atmospherics of like, okay, there's a little melee going on here. | ||
And I'm kind of like Tucker in that fly shop in Montana. | ||
He's like, I'm not doing this right now. | ||
Yeah, that's right. | ||
And then he really, like, after about 20 seconds, I was like, okay. | ||
I'm going to end you, Kyle. | ||
One question, because, you know, it's a circuit breaker. | ||
They can't answer it. | ||
And he literally just, like, starts melting down. | ||
Did you ask him how many vasectomies he got? | ||
No, by the way, it's like... | ||
How many vasectomies can he get? | ||
That vasectomy video is hilarious. | ||
unidentified
|
He did. | |
It's very good stuff. | ||
You got to ask the questions. | ||
They're free. | ||
unidentified
|
Democrats... | |
By the way, if you're going to get a vasectomy, would you get one in an RV? | ||
Yeah, would you get one in a shady bus with the windows all blacked out, driving down a bumpy road in Chicago? | ||
Oh, sorry. | ||
unidentified
|
I didn't mean to sever that organ. | |
We're really, really sorry. | ||
You are now circumcised. | ||
You can now... | ||
There are plenty of religions to choose from. | ||
It's a holy ceremony. | ||
That's right. | ||
I don't know what to do with all this blood. | ||
I mean, who goes into an RV and gets a vasectomy? | ||
Charlie, the chat freaking loves you, man. | ||
They're going bananas. | ||
Is that right? | ||
By the way, I saw a couple guys walking around like this with ice packs on their crouch. | ||
I was like, victims of vasectomies. | ||
You got one, but you got one from the shady-ass Planned Parenthood bus that's driving down the road, and they're actually just looking— Is there even enough square feet in a bus to perform a vasectomy? | ||
unidentified
|
Just call it, like, free—what would it be called? | |
A eunuch? | ||
Free eunuchness? | ||
I don't know what that surgery would be called. | ||
Free making you a eunuch. | ||
That's a pretty serious surgery, though, right? | ||
I mean— The consequences are, you know, rather consequential. | ||
I want to tell the viewers two things here. | ||
One, we are monitoring the live feed. | ||
We have the entire slate. | ||
They're, like, not fun speakers. | ||
They're not great speakers. | ||
Who do we have right now? | ||
We can pop it up. | ||
You guys can see. | ||
I mean, we're not going to miss anything. | ||
The chat's melting down. | ||
The chat loves it. | ||
How many concurrence do we have right now? | ||
Right now, across everything, we have 50,000. | ||
There you go. | ||
unidentified
|
That's good. | |
50, 55,000. | ||
Subscribe to the Charlie Kirk Show podcast. | ||
There we go. | ||
unidentified
|
Boom. | |
Boom. | ||
We love the chat. | ||
We love all of you. | ||
We're going to rock and roll here. | ||
Who is this? | ||
Ratskin. | ||
He's wearing sneakers? | ||
Yeah, Ratskin. | ||
By the way, what is he doing getting a primetime address? | ||
I don't know. | ||
Look at him. | ||
What is with these guys? | ||
What are with these Democrat men? | ||
And they look like the inflatable wavy arm things out front of us. | ||
They really like this guy. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Jamie Raskin. | ||
What does that say? | ||
Uplifting the what? | ||
Uplifting the law. | ||
It's all about being uplifting. | ||
Oh, they have Hillary Clinton for the uplifting the law night? | ||
Now they're just outright trolling. | ||
Well, Hillary Clinton talked about abusing children. | ||
You know, Bill Clinton can't be reached on Lolita Express. | ||
Is that where he is right now? | ||
Yeah, I think so. | ||
27 different trips. | ||
Okay, so here's what's most important, Charlie, that I completely agree, okay? | ||
So I want to say this. | ||
I don't care how many subs I lose. | ||
I completely agree with this Democrat platform. | ||
Take it to the bank. | ||
All Democrat men get vasectomies immediately, okay? | ||
As many as you can. | ||
Is that in the platform? | ||
Snip, snap, snip, snap, snip, snap. | ||
Kamala Harris says, do not come. | ||
She means it, all right? | ||
Get your vasectomies, Democrat men. | ||
I fully endorse this platform of the DNC. | ||
You can clip it, take it to the bank, put it on the young Kirks. | ||
I endorse it. | ||
It is renamed. | ||
Yes, I endorse it, okay? | ||
All men, this is a platform that I totally endorse. | ||
All men, Democrat men, get your vasectomies immediately. | ||
That sounds about right. | ||
That's how we win, Charlie. | ||
Well, I mean, just by the way, it was so fascinating. | ||
I was sent out with Cenk Junger and Anna Kasparian. | ||
And, you know, on a serious note, I asked them because they were upset about the childless cat lady thing that JD said, and I defended him. | ||
And the question, I said, if you have 50 random people that are childless and 50 random people that have families, which group of people would likely make better political decisions for the rest of the country? | ||
They said, no difference. | ||
I think that's like the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life. | ||
Like, you have 50 people that have strong families with children, and they're anchored in their communities, and you have 50 people that don't have kids. | ||
Like, of course the people that have families are going to make better political decisions. | ||
Of course. | ||
Right. | ||
And they're like, no, you have to care about climate change and all these abstractions. | ||
I mean, I don't know about you, but having kids totally changes you. | ||
And Chank was like, I was unchanged by having children. | ||
He said that? | ||
He was, right? | ||
Andrew, he was like, I was unchanged politically by having children. | ||
Oh, that's an awful thing to say. | ||
Can you imagine being that guy's kid and seeing that? | ||
That's a horrible thing to say. | ||
I think that was warranted, though. | ||
I mean, I was like, I... | ||
You're welcome to hop on, Andrew, if you want. | ||
Can I have a water, by the way? | ||
Yeah, yeah, we got tons. | ||
What a beautiful... | ||
By the way, how great is this hotel? | ||
This is amazing. | ||
You know, I tried to call him today, President Trump, be like, this is the most underrated property you have, without a doubt. | ||
Don't you agree? | ||
Well, I... | ||
Isn't it unbelievable? | ||
It's just terrific. | ||
Some of us can't just call Trump, but we can call other Trump. | ||
Eric and Laura were on the show this morning, and Eric's like, I love... | ||
I love that property. | ||
I work so hard. | ||
Benny's trying to have me give you his number. | ||
I don't want... | ||
No, no, no. | ||
I'm perfectly fine. | ||
I love the Trump kids. | ||
The Trump kids... | ||
That's fine. | ||
I'm not giving you his number, Benny, okay? | ||
Trump kids are my boys. | ||
But they all have children. | ||
Alex, tell him I'm not giving him his number, okay? | ||
They all have children. | ||
Like, that's the only... | ||
No spam texting Trump, Benny. | ||
I would send Trump. | ||
I would send Trump memes, okay? | ||
I know, that's why. | ||
I'm not giving you his number. | ||
I would send Trump memes. | ||
I would. | ||
Good morning, Mr. President. | ||
Here's your daily meme energy. | ||
That's right. | ||
Here's you punching with your fists. | ||
By the way, all of them would end up on Truth Social. | ||
They would. | ||
That's right. | ||
I could single-handedly end the campaign, and so maybe it's best. | ||
It's actually probably best. | ||
So what did the DNC smell like? | ||
So, I mean, I have to go back. | ||
You must have some takeaways. | ||
Yeah, I mean, first of all, these are super sad people. | ||
I mean, they're just, like, noticeably sad. | ||
Number two, I will say that the Kamala Harris thing, one takeaway, Kamala Harris went on stage surprisingly tonight, and I didn't know that wouldn't happen. | ||
I was in the media room, and all of a sudden, like, 10, 20-year-old girls start sprinting. | ||
Like, sprinting. | ||
I don't know where they're going. | ||
And I find out, like, 20 minutes later, Kamala was speaking, and they literally just wanted to get a glimpse of Kamala. | ||
Like, for young girls, it's like a legit thing. | ||
I saw it. | ||
It was the closest thing to, like... | ||
You know, pop culture phenomenon. | ||
I mean, I'm talking about, like, it's, you know, the equivalent of Taylor Swift or whomever is here. | ||
Like, sprinting through the halls, like, we have to get a glimpse of our leader type thing. | ||
Wow. | ||
And, yeah, I mean, I will say that, I mean, there was obviously super nasty people. | ||
I actually expect to be confronted more, to be honest. | ||
Like, we were confronted, what, four or five times, Andrew? | ||
Maybe. | ||
Yeah, a young kid came up and asked me about the Civil Rights Act. | ||
Nice kid. | ||
Gave him a short answer. | ||
Yeah, I mean, he was super sweet, but who else? | ||
I was starting to think, like, we were ambushed a couple times, the Georgia kid, the Antifa kid, and then another guy came up, and we had this interaction, and he has this Kamala Harris button, and he's like, yeah, I'm a swing voter. | ||
I'm like, what? | ||
I'm a swinger. | ||
No, no, he's not a swinger, Benny. | ||
They saved that for Thursday night. | ||
Okay, got it. | ||
Get on the bus. | ||
Everyone on the bus. | ||
That's right. | ||
unidentified
|
Quick. | |
We're going fast down a bumpy road. | ||
We actually do have the Kamala cringe clip. | ||
I don't think it's that long. | ||
I think it's good. | ||
Okay, so I would love to see it because I haven't actually seen it. | ||
I will say, though, here's the most crazy thing. | ||
Please. | ||
Because I was telling people I was going ahead of time, and they were like, oh, no one's going to know who you are. | ||
They know. | ||
They follow our stuff. | ||
You? | ||
Yeah. | ||
No, yeah, of course they know who you are. | ||
But no, it's interesting, like, how much right-wing content penetrates left-wing brains. | ||
Yes. | ||
And it was, I mean, I'm telling you. | ||
Well, nothing else penetrating. | ||
It looks could kill. | ||
No, I'm, like, every five feet, it was like. | ||
Have you ever seen these people? | ||
Nothing. | ||
My favorite one, I was walking in, and one guy was screaming, excuse me? | ||
Charlie Kirk is here. | ||
I am reporting this to the top most employee that will listen. | ||
unidentified
|
I repeat, Charlie Kirk is here. | |
It was like the most mall cop reporting thing. | ||
He was like, are you aware of who is at our convention? | ||
Or the most bro moment is when these yoked 6 '7 police guys are like, yo, Charlie Kirk. | ||
Yeah. | ||
And then the people that are doing the event work, all MAGA. | ||
All MAGA. | ||
So we're editing this right now. | ||
We went downtown, and we just talked to people on Michigan Avenue. | ||
We went to Grant Park, right where Barack Obama gets his anointing. | ||
It was Millennium Park, wasn't it? | ||
Or was it Grant Park? | ||
I thought it was Millennium when Obama did his speech, right? | ||
Millennium Park? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
But you might be right. | ||
So we're standing there on this sacred ground. | ||
It might be Grant, actually. | ||
Sacred ground for the Democrat Party, and nine out of ten people say Trump. | ||
Guys, we're not being selective. | ||
I'm not going just to the guys in the MAGA shirts. | ||
It was just kind of random people. | ||
Every cop wanted a picture. | ||
Every single person. | ||
And then the cops walk by and all the cops are like fist bumping us. | ||
They're like, Trump, man. | ||
All the cops wanted pictures. | ||
Yeah. | ||
But it was so telling, Benny. | ||
It was like the people that were doing the food service, the janitorial crew. | ||
Yes, of course. | ||
Like the people that were doing the rigging and all. | ||
Like it's so funny. | ||
They had this huge display when you walk into media row. | ||
Brought to you by IBEW, the International Brotherhood of Electric Workers. | ||
Every rigging guy came up and was like, I want a selfie. | ||
I want a picture. | ||
I'm not supposed to do this. | ||
Like the MAGA penetration of the rank and file. | ||
It's real. | ||
It's multi-ethnic. | ||
It's diverse. | ||
It's real. | ||
It's a longer conversation, and I'd love to do a long-form podcast on this, how the influencers that we know, some of them that you fostered, like Savannah Hernandez is a good one that comes to mind. | ||
She's incredible. | ||
We're doing better content at the DNC than Democrat influencers. | ||
Our team... | ||
Has been on the ground for less than 24 hours, and we've done tens of millions of views. | ||
Think about it, just between you and I. Tens of millions of views. | ||
We had the most viral thing of me just walking in. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Because we're authentic and we're real. | ||
We're not artificial. | ||
We're not synthetic. | ||
And what I realized today is that post-2020, I can't say before 2020, we have won the internet war. | ||
Yeah. | ||
It is legit. | ||
Yes, I think so. | ||
We have more followers. | ||
We have more penetration. | ||
I mean, because... | ||
So, for example, if you took their top five online influencers, I don't know, Hassan Piker maybe. | ||
Pull up the Wired magazine article. | ||
No, but seriously. | ||
I don't know who half those people are. | ||
Yeah, that's right. | ||
But if they walk the halls of the RNC, do you think that most of the RNC delegates would know? | ||
No. | ||
Who would know who Hassan or Jank is? | ||
We saw Jank at the RNC. | ||
And 85% of the people at the DNC knew our show, and they hated me. | ||
New Turning Point. | ||
They would know you. | ||
That goes to show that our content is hitting their audience and their audience is sending the content back. | ||
That's right. | ||
It's going upstream to them. | ||
It's not like they might be searching out the content, but most of them don't. | ||
It means that their audience is like, you've got to respond to this guy because my friends are getting red-pilled by Benny. | ||
And meanwhile, like Don Lemon. | ||
Don Lemon's wandering around. | ||
He's a loser. | ||
And like, this is amazing. | ||
So he's wandering around in Atlantic City. | ||
I don't know if you saw that video. | ||
It's a very weird video. | ||
And some guys like... | ||
Dude, you must watch CNN. | ||
They didn't even know him. | ||
They're like, you must watch CNN. | ||
You can watch his world shatter. | ||
He's like, you don't know that I was on CNN? | ||
And Tucker's having that realization, and Catherine Harris is having that realization. | ||
They did a whole podcast about it. | ||
They didn't realize that the corporate media, it's all fake news. | ||
That's the right-wing one. | ||
Do you have the left-wing one, though? | ||
So this is the right-wing one. | ||
Really quickly here, here's Wired Magazine. | ||
Wired Magazine does... | ||
There's a little bit of a weak piece. | ||
Who are these people? | ||
Josh Hegel-Helfgott? | ||
Yeah, I looked him up. | ||
He has a lot of followers on TikTok. | ||
Okay. | ||
There's Hassan Piker. | ||
I do know that guy. | ||
One of your best friends. | ||
How many concurrence do we have now, Alex? | ||
Let's get those numbers up. | ||
Here we go, baby. | ||
The chats. | ||
Do you have the Super Chats you need to answer? | ||
No. | ||
The chat, loving it. | ||
We'll do Super Chats at the end. | ||
We love all y 'all. | ||
They love you, Charlie. | ||
But this is the point. | ||
The point is that I don't know any of these people. | ||
But if you scroll down, these are the left-wingers influencing the election, and these are the people on the right influencing the election. | ||
And on that list, of course, you'll see Elon Musk, but you also see – everyone knows who the Paul brothers are. | ||
You have Tucker Carlson on there. | ||
By the way, Logan Paul is not a right-wing influencer. | ||
He interviewed Trump, so they're going to say – But Jake Paul is for sure. | ||
Logan Paul is not a right-wing – Yeah, but that's – I mean, sure. | ||
Okay, I'll take him. | ||
Obviously, I'll take Logan Paul any day. | ||
It's got 23 million YouTube subs. | ||
For sure. | ||
Zoom in. | ||
The other takeaway, though, is that Democrats legitimately cannot defend their ideas in the wild. | ||
So when in the wild, Democrats cannot defend their ideas. | ||
And so they were almost like, how on earth does he have the stones to come into here? | ||
I was like, yeah, I'll debate. | ||
I'll talk to anybody. | ||
I don't care. | ||
One of the weirdest things happened to us yesterday on the street. | ||
I said, uh, Kamala or Trump? | ||
And the guy goes, Kamala. | ||
And he, like, eats the mic. | ||
And I go, okay, okay, this is gonna be good. | ||
Why? | ||
And he goes, like this. | ||
And I kid you not, you'll see it when we release the video tomorrow. | ||
He goes, he goes like, he goes like this. | ||
unidentified
|
He goes, you gotta delete this video. | |
You gotta delete it. | ||
You gotta delete it. | ||
That's what he, and we're gonna play the whole thing. | ||
It's gonna be the first clip. | ||
And he just, like, had a brain. | ||
Aneurysm. | ||
And just couldn't defend Kamala at all. | ||
Couldn't defend it. | ||
Just like, brain broke. | ||
Yeah, I mean, I don't think that they're used to defending their positions. | ||
And it was a lesson for me. | ||
I'm so glad I came. | ||
I'm sure you too. | ||
I will say, Benny, I wish more of our people were here. | ||
That's right. | ||
Who's here? | ||
Jack is here to his credit. | ||
Jack's here. | ||
We're here. | ||
But, like, that's kind of our vibe. | ||
Our vibe is to go into the wild, right? | ||
That's kind of what we built to us. | ||
But it makes us look like we're going on offense. | ||
But I don't want to call anybody out. | ||
There's a lot of good people out there. | ||
You're on offense today. | ||
I think that we could have pushed this a little bit more. | ||
It shows, like, that we're fearless and we can defend our positions. | ||
Yes. | ||
And, by the way, it's like, would Democrats go into the RNC? | ||
I mean, there were some. | ||
I mean. | ||
unidentified
|
Who? | |
I mean, well, the MSNBC crowd actually didn't show up. | ||
So, but Caitlin Collins was there. | ||
You know, NBC had some, you know, street reporters. | ||
Cenk was at the RNC. | ||
The Young Turks were there. | ||
Kimberly Cheadle from the Secret Service was there. | ||
She was there. | ||
That's right. | ||
She got yelled at. | ||
Yeah. | ||
The RNC versus the DNC. | ||
Now, you were ubiquitous at the RNC. | ||
You came on our program. | ||
You were live the whole time. | ||
That was 100% of the people who knew you and your show. | ||
Full market saturation. | ||
And I couldn't go 10 feet without selfies. | ||
Total market saturation. | ||
And the vibe is so different. | ||
So you've seen inside the DNC now and you've seen inside the RNC. | ||
What's the vibe? | ||
Talk about the party of joy. | ||
Our RNC was so full of gratitude and joy and appreciation and love and amazing spirit. | ||
I didn't sense that at all at the DNC. | ||
It was so funny. | ||
When I was waiting in line, it was a long line to get into. | ||
It was like an hour-long line. | ||
I was like, Andrew, what? | ||
He's like, what? | ||
This is the NPC meme. | ||
They're all just staring into the distance. | ||
And they're all just like... | ||
And I was listening to some conversations behind me, and all they talk about is politics all day long. | ||
It's like a really sad life. | ||
And this one guy's like, yeah, my kid's not a progressive. | ||
And the whole conversation, he's like, I'm really not sure what to do with it. | ||
And it was like this liberal woman wearing a mask. | ||
And she's like, it's probably all those right-wing people online. | ||
I kid you not. | ||
I kid you not. | ||
Got us. | ||
And she was like, it's happening to a lot of young men in our community. | ||
And I was like, this is the greatest thing ever. | ||
Andrew, you didn't overhear that conversation, did you? | ||
You were on the phone. | ||
But it's so fascinating. | ||
I'm going to say this as nice as I can, sweet as I can. | ||
They look like Democrats. | ||
Can I say that? | ||
Is that okay to say? | ||
Do you want to come on here, Andrew? | ||
Come on. | ||
You can't host a show this way. | ||
I want to be very diplomatic. | ||
I'm not even saying it's a good thing or a bad thing. | ||
There's like three types of Democrats that I saw. | ||
There were the kind of very radical, angry women Democrats. | ||
They were there. | ||
There were the minority Democrats and the very, very well-dressed, like, black lawmaker Democrats. | ||
There were a lot of them. | ||
unidentified
|
A lot. | |
A lot. | ||
And, like, a lot of representation and super well-dressed. | ||
I mean, like, three-piece suits really had their act together. | ||
But then there was the other category. | ||
Andrew, what was that other category? | ||
unidentified
|
I don't know where you're going with this. | |
But it just emanating from like... | ||
unidentified
|
I will tell you that... | |
Like Seattle, Portland. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, I was going to say, when I was walking in, the first thing I saw this morning, first thing, I got there before Charlie did, and I was walking behind three really fabulous black men. | |
They were just like, I mean, their outfits were next level. | ||
I'm telling you, the wardrobe of black Democrat culture is the most impressive ever seen. | ||
unidentified
|
It's the most diverse. | |
It's 10 out of 10. I'll be honest, what an impressive haberdasher that supplies the Democrat Party. | ||
unidentified
|
I would just say that Charlie's so right when they say Democrats look, it's like a facial mannerism thing. | |
90% of them. | ||
You literally just look at them and you can tell. | ||
And actually somebody who knew me was like, I saw this guy around there and it turned out to be you. | ||
And I was like, that doesn't look like a liberal. | ||
And I was like, thank you. | ||
It's the nicest thing you've ever told me. | ||
So we actually have two team members that did a show called Undercover Lib. | ||
And they, like, dyed their hair and, like, put on fake earrings and, like, grew facial hair. | ||
You guys, you know what? | ||
That's the vibe. | ||
They, like, tried. | ||
They actually tried. | ||
That's what half the convention looks like. | ||
Eric, can you, like, hop on the stream? | ||
Like, show people. | ||
This is the energy. | ||
You can, like, show people kind of, like, what the vibe looked like. | ||
By the way, Benny, I was like, who's running your show over here? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
These are undercover lib. | ||
No, this right here. | ||
So we really, like, cranked it up. | ||
Yeah. | ||
This is the whole thing. | ||
Is that actually your tattoo? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Yeah, they had that, too. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So, but, like, the kind of exposed chain. | ||
The kind of unkept facial hair, right? | ||
The whole kind of, like... | ||
unidentified
|
I would have picked him. | |
No, but, like, society scorned me, but I'm like, I don't want to testosterone and be mad about it, so I'm going to, like, blame conservatives. | ||
I mean, if you look really hard, you realize it, you know, like, too strong of a job, but, like, they went and they asked questions as libs, and we did undercover lib. | ||
He pulls it off. | ||
He did a good job. | ||
unidentified
|
He wore the Kamala shirt, right? | |
Yeah, yeah, white dudes for Kamala. | ||
We got white dudes for Kamala shirts. | ||
White dudes for Harry. | ||
We got white dudes for Kamala shirts. | ||
Beware of monkeypox, white dudes for Harry. | ||
They actually gave out... | ||
It's spreading in your community. | ||
This is an unfortunate... | ||
Monkeypox is a very serious thing. | ||
Hey, I can hear myself back now. | ||
Thank you, guys. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, yes, me too. | |
Oh, that's so much better. | ||
unidentified
|
There it is. | |
Thank you. | ||
Yeah. | ||
By the way, is Joe Biden going to speak at like 1.30 a.m. Eastern? | ||
Let's pop over to the convention. | ||
We can show everyone. | ||
We are, you know, the convention's live. | ||
They just have like a bunch of 20... | ||
This is on YouTube. | ||
Oh, we have Jasmine Crockett. | ||
unidentified
|
Speaking of... | |
Is she from the Virgin Islands, right? | ||
No, no. | ||
She's from Texas, Dallas. | ||
I mean this with no shade. | ||
The wardrobe. | ||
Republicans need to dress more like black Democrats. | ||
I'm telling... | ||
I'm so impressed! | ||
I'm talking about these three-piece red and blue shoes. | ||
unidentified
|
They look good. | |
Trim. | ||
So, my takeaway is self-loathing. | ||
They hate... | ||
The vast majority of the Democrat Party hates the way God made them. | ||
And they take that out. | ||
And you can see it on their face. | ||
You can see the expression of like an angry, miserable person. | ||
unidentified
|
It's on the face. | |
They wear that misery, right? | ||
And so they hate their skin color, right? | ||
If they're white. | ||
They hate their genders. | ||
They hate who God made them. | ||
And that bitterness actually twists and contorts their faces. | ||
And makes them look like miserable people. | ||
unidentified
|
Makes them look like liberals. | |
It really does. | ||
And that's how you can tell. | ||
You can absolutely tell. | ||
unidentified
|
But it's also from the men. | |
I'm just going to hit that gender here because there's only two of them. | ||
Sex. | ||
There's no gender. | ||
unidentified
|
There's sex. | |
Two sex. | ||
There's no genders. | ||
unidentified
|
You're correct. | |
Thank you for the correction. | ||
But I will say the men tend to be a lot more effeminate. | ||
They tend to be a lot skinnier. | ||
And they tend to be just sort of the weak jaw, the very unkempt, the button. | ||
Their shirts tend to be unbuttoned excessively far down. | ||
It's a whole look. | ||
I mean, yeah, it was a whole... | ||
I mean, my eyes were completely open today, honestly. | ||
It put faces to the trolls. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Right? | ||
Like, all these people that send death threats. | ||
Oh my gosh. | ||
unidentified
|
Walking the halls with Charlie was a freaking experience. | |
Oh, Tyler, you missed it. | ||
You would have loved it. | ||
Tyler would have been laughing the whole time. | ||
Tyler can't believe I didn't get kicked. | ||
We thought you'd get kicked. | ||
unidentified
|
What? | |
Oh, no. | ||
By the way, the angriest... | ||
The angriest interaction was, like, this, like, old lady... | ||
Give me the Wojak memes. | ||
Oh, no, that woman was unbelievable. | ||
She comes right up into my face, and she was like, you are the effing worst thing ever to exist in the world. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, and just walked by. | |
What? | ||
Yeah, Wojak memes. | ||
What you're describing is the Wojak meme. | ||
I don't know what... | ||
Which is the best... | ||
unidentified
|
You know what it is. | |
I gotta go to know my meme. | ||
Yeah, which is the best, like, compilation of liberal memes, right? | ||
So you guys just pop them up when you get them. | ||
Just, like, the screaming lib memes. | ||
It perfectly encapsulates what you're talking about. | ||
Just the self-loathing, the angry, the male pattern baldness. | ||
And, you know, the low T. Very low T. Yeah, yeah. | ||
Super low T. No, I mean, all kidding aside, I actually think that our politics is mainly driven by our poison food supply. | ||
And from vaccine-injured people, potentially, and from people that are really, like, biologically not able to get their hormones balanced. | ||
Yes. | ||
This is not a joke. | ||
Like, I think that if you took the average testosterone-estrogen balance sampling of what we just saw at Chicago and Milwaukee, the blood work would be fascinating. | ||
That's, like, not a joke. | ||
So... | ||
Do you think I'm onto something? | ||
Oh, totally. | ||
Because I've been to the last two DNC conventions, the ones they would let me in, and... | ||
These guys, right? | ||
unidentified
|
You know them. | |
Of course, obviously. | ||
So it's like you go to these DNC conventions, and I called my wife, who's a medical professional. | ||
I'm like, something I think is mentally wrong, something's physically wrong, and something's very deeply emotionally wrong. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, if you think about Democrat politics, it's all driven by grievances, right? | |
Yes. | ||
unidentified
|
So they're upset about something. | |
Why do you become upset? | ||
Grievance riddled. | ||
Why do you feel like you can't overcome something in your own life? | ||
It's because, you know, there's various reasons. | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
That's a debt. | ||
This is them seeing Charlie. | ||
That was me. | ||
That was me in the security line because you know why? | ||
Them seeing Charlie. | ||
unidentified
|
We got stuck in a security line for about 45 minutes. | |
Just to be clear, I'm 6 '4 on a bad day, okay? | ||
Like 6 '5 with these shoes. | ||
I'm popping up. | ||
And these guys were like, is that who I think? | ||
And they're trembling. | ||
But understand, I represent a contradiction. | ||
So, do you kick Charlie out? | ||
Therefore, you enforce your borders? | ||
It's like, is this not a legitimate credential? | ||
It's like, I'm a walking contradiction. | ||
I didn't do anything worthy of being kicked out, right? | ||
I didn't make any scene. | ||
I was very chill. | ||
I was very understated. | ||
unidentified
|
This was your CBP1 app pass. | |
Yeah, exactly. | ||
But at the same time, by the way, if they would have kicked me out, I would have actually had principal, I know what it says, like, okay. | ||
You guys have total right to control who comes into your party, right? | ||
Like, you want people to share your worldview and that newcomers should actually agree with you? | ||
What a concept. | ||
You're such a newcomer. | ||
I am a newcomer. | ||
I'm a newcomer to the Democrat Party. | ||
We should do a caravan. | ||
Have you ever been into a DNC, though, Penny? | ||
Yes, I've been inside. | ||
I've been inside. | ||
I've smelled it. | ||
And I've seen it. | ||
And I've said, like, wow, this smells like sweaty yogurt. | ||
Like, this smells like sweaty Greek yogurt that has been left on the back of a camel. | ||
And, unfortunately, it's developed something that's fungal. | ||
And I said, this is too bad. | ||
unidentified
|
Too bad that half of our country is, literally. | |
So how did half our country, you know, because you go back to, like, hold on, like, this was the party of, like, war hero JFK? | ||
This was the party of JFK giving speeches about how children are too chubby and we need to be masculine men and go to the moon? | ||
I don't want to go too far into this. | ||
What happened, man? | ||
That was 64! | ||
You have a country that is screwing up with hormones, which is how you actually... | ||
It's your life force. | ||
Then don't be surprised if you get really weird politics from there. | ||
unidentified
|
So there's two things where I think the conservative worldview... | |
At least traditionally, right? | ||
Trump came in and changed the way we think about trade. | ||
I think there's a couple different areas where we do, as conservatives, need to think about it. | ||
One is health and nutrition, right? | ||
Because there's a lot of stuff we put in our foods that they don't allow in Europe. | ||
Okay, is that good or bad, right? | ||
Pesticides literally are illegal in Europe. | ||
unidentified
|
And zoning, but we can get into that another time. | |
Yeah, Blake will hate you on zoning. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, well, have you been to Houston? | |
He thinks it's great. | ||
Anyways, yeah. | ||
No, I love zoning. | ||
I'm with you, but Blake thinks that Houston is like this wonderful city. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, no. | |
Houston is like if the Soviets got to build an American city. | ||
It's concrete. | ||
unidentified
|
Let's put a sewer next to a playground. | |
Do you agree, Tyler? | ||
Everything's concrete. | ||
You know our conventions in freaking Houston in 2028? | ||
That's awful. | ||
By the way, who thought it would be a good idea to do anything in the summer in Houston? | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, dear. | |
Ever. | ||
unidentified
|
Man, Milwaukee was sweaty, like Houston's going to be. | |
It's going to be 100 degrees and 100% humidity. | ||
Like a whole thing would just be like a cloud. | ||
Is it too late to change it? | ||
unidentified
|
I'm sure. | |
We should go to Vegas. | ||
Vegas is the perfect RNC city. | ||
unidentified
|
In the middle of the summer, that'll be great. | |
Everything's indoors. | ||
By the way, Vegas knows how to throw a party. | ||
They have more hotel rooms than any other city per capita. | ||
unidentified
|
Although, there could be some... | |
No, you do it at Allegiant Stadium. | ||
unidentified
|
Some bad stories coming out of high-ranking officials. | |
Guaranteed. | ||
unidentified
|
I have to say. | |
Or the other way is that actually the vice is put within parameters. | ||
They don't have to, like, do it under the table like they do in other conventions. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, right. | |
Tampa's great. | ||
Tampa was the Republican convention in 2012. | ||
I was there. | ||
That was a mess. | ||
Tampa was a mess. | ||
Cleveland was okay. | ||
unidentified
|
Milwaukee was a great choice. | |
Vegas, baby. | ||
Turned Nevada red. | ||
I didn't think I would enjoy Milwaukee as much as I did. | ||
Milwaukee was dope. | ||
It was great. | ||
unidentified
|
It was so much fun. | |
That was one of the best political weeks I've ever had. | ||
That was great. | ||
unidentified
|
I remember walking out with Charlie on the last day, and Charlie just paused, which Charlie never pauses. | |
Charlie is the fastest. | ||
If you ever hang out with Charlie, just be prepared to get your running shoes on. | ||
Charlie paused, and I was ahead of him for a second. | ||
I was like, what are you doing? | ||
He got his camera out, his camera phone. | ||
He took a picture and he's like, I just want to remember this. | ||
That's the most introspective I've ever seen Charlie Kirk. | ||
Yeah, it was a really sweet moment. | ||
Okay, so what do you remember from today? | ||
What was like, again, they took away our credentials. | ||
Other than the seersucker suit Georgia guy screaming at me. | ||
unidentified
|
Which is hilarious because they're painting it like Charlie got owned. | |
But if you actually look at engagements, there's like 10 to 1, this kid gets owned. | ||
But it's almost like he put out his little trolls being like, I have to fight back. | ||
Please say that I won. | ||
It's really weird. | ||
It's like some propaganda mind game. | ||
What's interesting about that clip is it's very feline energy, right? | ||
Like, it was very... | ||
Yeah, it was... | ||
Meow! | ||
Right? | ||
Like, it was very, you know... | ||
That guy had little... | ||
unidentified
|
But frankly, consider this. | |
It wasn't a man coming up to you and, like, talking to you. | ||
It was very much like a shaking... | ||
I'm telling you, if you watch his video on YouTube, it's like... | ||
unidentified
|
But what's crazy is, like, this is how little news there was this morning. | |
It was the number one story coming out of today. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, everybody was telling us it was the most viral thing they've seen today. | |
And I'm like... | ||
That's an indictment of the DNC. | ||
I mean, until the rioters got through the, broke the, breached the barricades or whatever. | ||
So that was, I think that overtook it. | ||
But there was not that much going on on the first day of the DNC, which says something. | ||
I want to put up the DNC live feed. | ||
We have to go in a second. | ||
Letting you guys know, we still got people speaking. | ||
There's like, whoever the hell this guy is. | ||
unidentified
|
Is that Andy Beshear? | |
Yeah. | ||
So it's 1045 Eastern. | ||
The RNC wrapped every day at 1045 Eastern, right? | ||
Am I correct? | ||
unidentified
|
This is where Joe Biden goes, I told you my aides keep scheduling me after hours. | |
What time did we end? | ||
It was right around this time, every day, right? | ||
It makes you wonder if the RNC didn't do enough programming. | ||
That's interesting. | ||
What do you think? | ||
unidentified
|
Or maybe people are already checked out. | |
I mean, this is all. | ||
This is crazy. | ||
unidentified
|
You know there's going to be propaganda, though. | |
It's almost midnight Eastern Standard Time. | ||
unidentified
|
But there's going to be propaganda. | |
Like, the ratings of the DNC break records. | ||
You know they're going to, like, print that story. | ||
This guy would have been a better VP than Walls. | ||
I don't know why he got passed over. | ||
I think he didn't want to. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, I think Shapiro would have been the best. | |
I know, but he would have been way better than Walls. | ||
He's a talented politician. | ||
Could you imagine how crazy the Hamas protest would have been if it was Shapiro? | ||
unidentified
|
True story. | |
If it was Shapiro, the whole place would be on fire right now. | ||
unidentified
|
True story. | |
I talked to a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist when they were, when she was still deciding. | ||
And I knew it wasn't going to be Shapiro after talking to this guy. | ||
And he said, he said, there's no way on planet earth that the Democrats pick a black woman. | ||
This is Mark Halperin. | ||
No, I'm not going to say the name because there's no way in hell that the Democrats are going to go with a black woman as the top of the ticket and a Jew as the VP. | ||
It just will not happen. | ||
And I was like, really? | ||
And this person was Jewish. | ||
And I was like, well, that's a really cynical thing to say. | ||
He's like, it's never going to happen. | ||
You mark my words. | ||
He was right. | ||
I mean, they tore down the fences today. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, I mean, you're right, though. | |
It would have put jet fuel on the protests. | ||
And they might end up getting bad. | ||
I'm told they're going to get worse on Wednesday. | ||
We saw plenty of it yesterday. | ||
Do we have the Kamala clip? | ||
It was like a short clip. | ||
She came on stage. | ||
You were talking about it. | ||
This is boring. | ||
Whatever this is, the guy looks like you asked ChatGPT to make J.Crew JCPenneydad in a lawn mowing ad. | ||
Do we have Kamala? | ||
Play. | ||
Let's hear it. | ||
Kamala took the stage. | ||
Nobody was planning on this happening. | ||
Kamala takes the stage. | ||
I want your guys' reaction to it since you were in the room. | ||
unidentified
|
Good evening, everyone! | |
Good evening, good evening! | ||
It is so good to be with everyone this evening in this hall and everyone at home. | ||
This is going to be a great week. | ||
Why are they doing this? | ||
Why are they bringing Burr out? | ||
And I want to kick us off by celebrating our incredible president, Joe Biden. | ||
Rubbing it in, man. | ||
unidentified
|
Salt in the room. | |
We'll be speaking later tonight. | ||
Joe, thank you for your historic leadership, for your lifetime of service to our nation, and for all you will continue to do. | ||
unidentified
|
We are forever grateful to you. | |
So she's got, like, the handheld. | ||
Interesting. | ||
Why the handheld? | ||
I don't know how to hold this mic. | ||
I'm not sure what to do with my hands. | ||
Looking out at everyone tonight, I see the beauty of our great nation. | ||
People from every corner of our country and every walk of life are here, united by our shared vision for the future of our country. | ||
And this November, we will come together and declare with one voice, as one people, we are moving forward. | ||
If you know what you're looking for, you can see her ravenously looking for the prompter. | ||
She's like desperate. | ||
I think this is a mistake, Andrew. | ||
Guided by our love of country, knowing we all have so much more in common than what separates us. | ||
Let us fight for the ideals we hold dear. | ||
And let us always remember when we fight, we win. | ||
God bless you. | ||
God bless the United States of America. | ||
Good night, everyone. | ||
Oh, man, her voice is cracking. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, I think that was a mistake. | |
There was no... | ||
She's got to keep her powder dry there. | ||
But it was also really forced because we know what she sounds like when she's off the script. | ||
So when she's trying to make it sound natural, she just couldn't because she was reading written words that actually made sense and formed proper sentences. | ||
And we know that that is... | ||
That's the first clue you need to know that she's reading off a prompter. | ||
But, I mean, lots of people do it. | ||
But, yeah, I think it was a mistake because you want to keep your powder dry. | ||
She spoke for too long, in my opinion. | ||
And it felt inauthentic because we know that she helped push Joe Biden out. | ||
And we know that she has a lot of explaining to do about his cognitive decline that she covered up. | ||
She'll never have to explain it. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, unless somebody sits her down. | |
No, I didn't. | ||
Pelosi being like, I did what I had to do. | ||
She like snapped on CNN. | ||
They were like, what's the deal with Biden? | ||
She goes, I did what I had to do. | ||
And like the Coleone music plays, the Godfather theme plays, right? | ||
unidentified
|
Well, I've been told credibly here by multiple reporters that the top two people that Joe Biden is really pissed off at are Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama. | |
Yeah, of course. | ||
And I've heard, but not here, I actually had one of the reporters denied it, so maybe it's not right, and this is somebody in the know, that I've been told that he is vehemently actually upset at Kamala, but he's not willing to do anything that would tarnish his legacy. | ||
So he knows that he's already said, hey, I'm going to consolidate my support, throw it behind Kamala. | ||
And so he can't go back on that for the sake of his legacy, but he's pissed. | ||
Legacy? | ||
I mean, Blagojevich was on the program, and he's like, I know how this works, because Obama did it to me. | ||
These same people did it to me. | ||
They brought in the file, they brought in the blackmail file, they put it on the desk, and they say, would be a shame, really, would be a shame if NBC News got this, and New York Times got this, and CBS got this, and the AP got this. | ||
Wouldn't that be terrible? | ||
For your granddaughter, right? | ||
If they found this out, that the Coke is actually hers? | ||
Because, you know, we have the DNA on the Coke, right, Joe? | ||
And we know it's your granddaughter, right? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Democrats do play dirty. | ||
Democrats do play dirty. | ||
I mean, you got to tip your cap to them because they... | ||
Do you think they'd ever let Joe Biden in without that file? | ||
Like, without them having full and total leverage? | ||
That's how the system works. | ||
Over, Joe. | ||
unidentified
|
Pure machine. | |
I mean, Trump is one of the few modern politicians that... | ||
Looked at the file and said, F you to the file. | ||
Yeah, publisher. | ||
unidentified
|
This is why he's been at war with the machine ever since. | |
That's right. | ||
unidentified
|
Publisher. | |
We got this tape. | ||
unidentified
|
He banked on his own power and support of the base. | |
I don't think any Democrat has the stones to do that. | ||
Andrew, are we able to stream from here or we got to go to the other one? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, we've got to. | |
Okay. | ||
See you later. | ||
See you. | ||
Thank you. | ||
Thank you, guys. | ||
Everyone, subscribe to the Charlie Kirk Show and we're doing a late night stream if Benny's no longer streaming. | ||
We go late, late. | ||
unidentified
|
If Benny wants to join, you're welcome. | |
All right. | ||
See you, man. | ||
Later, boys. | ||
Thanks, guys. | ||
What's up? | ||
What's up, chat? | ||
What's going on? | ||
Tyler, you hopping on? | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
Okay. | ||
See ya. | ||
All right. | ||
We want to roll over? | ||
Yeah. | ||
What's up? | ||
We got more wonderful guests in the studio. | ||
We got... | ||
Let's just show what's going on on stage. | ||
unidentified
|
Go. | |
What do we got? | ||
Raphael Warnock here. | ||
Raphael Warnock. | ||
On the stage. | ||
And how far along is he in our little list here? | ||
What's next? | ||
Jill Biden? | ||
Are they finally up? | ||
Goodness gracious, they got a long... | ||
I mean, they're going to run Joe Biden to midnight. | ||
unidentified
|
It's like a full hour behind. | |
They're going to run Joe Biden to midnight. | ||
Please, introduce yourself to the chat. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, my name's Will Pierce. | |
I ran draft Biden for Biden back in 2016. | ||
Worked for Bernie, I know, for about eight years. | ||
I'm chasing him throughout the whole entire country and then just left the party just because the state ran right now. | ||
Yeah. | ||
What's up, Will? | ||
Hey, man. | ||
Welcome to the chat. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
All right. | ||
Hi. | ||
unidentified
|
What's up? | |
I'm Caitlin Sinclair with Turning Point Action, the new spokeswoman. | ||
I hope your listeners can define a woman, Benny. | ||
That's the title. | ||
That apparently is the kryptonite question. | ||
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
Yeah. | ||
That sent the little boy back to Georgia. | ||
All right. | ||
So interesting day today for the DNC. | ||
We've seen Hillary Clinton screaming about child abuse and then running back again to Jeffrey Epstein's jet to go fly with Bill to little St. James. | ||
And then we've seen Kamala Harris pop on. | ||
And, you know, again, a lot of screaming, a lot of yelling. | ||
You're a disaffected Democrat. | ||
You were part of the draft Biden campaign and everything like that. | ||
But now you're Trump. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
Now you're like MAGA. | ||
unidentified
|
No, I worked for the Democrat going on 15, 20 years. | |
I worked for the DNC, the DCCC, LMNOP, Alphabet Soup, everyone. | ||
All right. | ||
Can you explain that? | ||
Can you explain that transition? | ||
Because, I mean, you know, you... | ||
You could be at an event right now where Hamas protesters are ripping the barricades down and coming after you. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
I'm glad I'm over here, not over there. | ||
We got good security. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
So I was at the past three or four conventions. | ||
The main thing with me is with the Democratic Party, you have to agree with them 100% on everything. | ||
If you sit there and say, oh, no, I don't agree with you on this issue, they're like, oh, no, you're a racist, you're a sexist, you're this, you're that. | ||
Then when you sit there and you just say, why? | ||
It's just like, you just like, kind of like, just like how Charlie was saying, you just blow their mind. | ||
And they're like, oh, you just have to agree. | ||
Well, why do we have to agree with this? | ||
Why can't we question this? | ||
Why over here, like, you know, do I have to agree with you 100% on every single issue overall? | ||
And like, at the end of the day, you know, like you sit here and you just ask really basic questions. | ||
Like, one thing for me, I'm a new dad. | ||
I'm sitting in, I'm looking at the education system. | ||
I'm looking at public education. | ||
I'm looking at the school system. | ||
I'm looking at this and that and everything. | ||
And I'm looking at, at the same time, right now in the city of Chicago, Down over there at the United Center, where they are, like, let's just look at what they have. | ||
They have a fence around their perimeter. | ||
We don't have a fence at the border. | ||
They have, you know, their security. | ||
They have guns on their shoulder. | ||
I'm sorry, you know, like, we cannot have our weapons that we want, you know, like, and have the Second Amendment. | ||
And then at the same time, here in the city of Chicago, over 30 shootings happened. | ||
While all these police are, like, you know, like, have to be, like, taken off so Kamala Harris can be doing this and doing that. | ||
and i've been working in a democratic party for years and to be honest i just got fed up i just got fed up of just sitting there and basically i just felt like i was a pyongyang good for you so you're like this is very north korea we just like have to believe you just have to agree with the fearless leader you just have to stand up and clap that's right he got a hole in one right the rockets are gonna work yeah all right well that's pretty that's pretty brave are you are you from chicago um so my wife see um We grew up here. | ||
We and I live down in Texas. | ||
Yeah, okay. | ||
Fantastic. | ||
And you're here to... | ||
You're here in Chicago. | ||
What have you seen so far, like, from a street level? | ||
unidentified
|
I've seen a lot of people look at me like, oh, I know you. | |
Yeah, okay. | ||
A lot of the DNC guys. | ||
unidentified
|
I've seen a lot of that. | |
I've been doing, like, a lot of media just talking. | ||
But, like, the main thing is, like, just, like, Chicago, I lived here for a while. | ||
And, like, the main thing is, like, you know, like, especially in a black community, if you sit here and then you say, like, oh, no, like, you know, we're with Kamla Harris. | ||
It's, like, the big, like, it's, like, the big question. | ||
You sit there, you're, like, you just sit there and just ask the black person, you know, is Kamla Harris black? | ||
And you just sit there and you have to wait for the response. | ||
I would say 60, 70 percent, they're like, oh, no. | ||
And then, like, then you, if the people who say, oh, yes, he's black, I always say the follow-up question, like, Bob Marley, do you consider them black? | ||
And they're like, no, he's not black. | ||
Then if you sit there and you look and then you talk to him and you analyze, like, you know, like the record going on, you know, like of Kamala Harris and this and that and everything. | ||
And they're like, oh, she's going to be the first black president. | ||
I'm like, she's not even black. | ||
unidentified
|
She's Indian-American and she's Jamaican-American. | |
And then you sit there and you say that to the black people. | ||
Then you sit there and you say, like, what about your little daughter that, like, you know, like 15, 20 years from now, she wants to be president. | ||
And now you have this person who, when they were running for U.S. Senate, district attorney, this office, that office back in California, they always said they were the first Indian American. | ||
And you know what? | ||
I said, that's great. | ||
Be the first Indian American. | ||
Be the first person of color. | ||
Be whatever you want to be. | ||
But don't sit here and use race and then, like, you know, just race bait, you know, just to do it. | ||
And then, like, then the Democratic Party that sits here, it says all the time at the same time, you know, they sit here and they say, oh, we're the perfect party. | ||
We're the party of unity and everything. | ||
They're the party of unity. | ||
If you went down to the United Center, you just saw the Board of Order meetings. | ||
Black people over here. | ||
Asians over here. | ||
Left-handed Mongolians over here. | ||
Labor Party over here. | ||
It was all separated. | ||
unidentified
|
It's like, you just separate. | |
It's like, I'm like, are we in the 1950s over here? | ||
Yeah. | ||
And the protests. | ||
Exactly. | ||
It's not like the, you know, men in riot gear and all of the cops here were protecting Democrats and Joe Biden from ultra-MAGA supporters. | ||
They're protecting them from their own voters, from Democrats. | ||
It's ridiculous. | ||
Party of a unification, right? | ||
Oh, yeah. | ||
It's not the party. | ||
Unity, because I don't think that they actually understand who their real base is. | ||
I don't think that they can get past the programming, right? | ||
The programming, we go onto the streets and we go, Kamala or Trump? | ||
And some people say Kamala. | ||
They go, Kamala! | ||
And you ask why. | ||
The follow-up question, and we were the first people to do this. | ||
We did this like a year ago. | ||
We did this like a year ago in Tampa before we knew about the hot swap or anything else. | ||
Biggest black fraternity in the country was in Tampa for their big conference. | ||
And we walked up and we were like, yo, Kamala Harris, how's she doing? | ||
And the guys were like, who? | ||
And then some of the guys who knew her, because there were some, and they're in the video, they're like, uh, yes, A, like, what's your favorite thing that she's ever done? | ||
And no one can tell you anything. | ||
Like, they can't explain that. | ||
But you go into MAGA, and you're like, what's your favorite thing that Trump's done? | ||
And you get like 20, you get a list of 20 things. | ||
Maybe 20 different things. | ||
unidentified
|
What I think is scary is the women, though. | |
The women that you ask, who are you voting for? | ||
Automatically, Kamala. | ||
And then you press them harder, and I've done this with men on the street interviews. | ||
Oh, why are you voting for her? | ||
Because she's a woman. | ||
Because she's a woman. | ||
unidentified
|
And then... | |
Oh, the same woman that can't define what a woman actually is, the same person that wants to put men in women's sports. | ||
And a lot of these females, Benny, don't even know. | ||
They're like, wait, what? | ||
And then they take it a step further. | ||
Then you sit there, and when you sit there, you talk about her record. | ||
And then you sit there, and you're like, she's more liberal than Bernie Sanders. | ||
Just think about that. | ||
Then he's like, oh, no, that's not the truth. | ||
And then you say, you know she was district attorney of San Francisco. | ||
She was? | ||
You know she did this in San Francisco. | ||
You know she did that in San Francisco. | ||
Oh. | ||
And you just have silence. | ||
They just stare at you. | ||
Yeah. | ||
It's kind of embarrassing, though. | ||
Like, it does prove that half the country can be brainwashed. | ||
Or maybe about 30% of the country. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, I'm embarrassed to be a female. | |
I'll just say it. | ||
I'm embarrassed. | ||
I don't get, like, okay, so if I was interviewed by the AP and they're like, why do you support Trump? | ||
And I go, because he's a man. | ||
And I'm a man. | ||
unidentified
|
And men. | |
Right? | ||
Yeah? | ||
And then I, like, take their microphone, right? | ||
And I crush it, right? | ||
unidentified
|
That's so powerful, Benny. | |
I throw it in the East River. | ||
It's like, that would go viral for all the wrong reasons. | ||
But we got that answer, actually, just yesterday from, like, a couple of ladies that were like, Kamala, because she's a woman. | ||
So I don't get that. | ||
Seems very unfair. | ||
unidentified
|
No, I mean, I hope I don't get canceled. | |
I think I'm allowed to say this. | ||
I think it's the females that are responsible for the deterioration of our society right now. | ||
And it's so troubling. | ||
You look at this ticket. | ||
What are we voting for? | ||
Look at what's happening here just this week. | ||
You're... | ||
What are you voting? | ||
Nobody knows! | ||
unidentified
|
Killing babies on wheels? | |
Chopping off men's balls? | ||
Ladies, you don't want any men out there? | ||
I totally endorse that, by the way. | ||
I want to say, this show totally endorses, if you're a Democrat man, get castrated, please. | ||
Yeah, we've got Warnock talking on stage now. | ||
Everyone looks bored as hell. | ||
unidentified
|
One thing I noticed, too, if you look in, only half of them claps. | |
So you have all these speeches, even when Hillary was speaking, you had half the room sitting down, and it's like, this is the Democratic National Convention, and Hillary Clinton, one of your big leaders came out. | ||
You're supposed to be on a, you know, like, chairing and everything, and like, half of them look like, you know, they're like, oh, where are we? | ||
Like, what's going on? | ||
There was also some mess-ups with the teleprompter, which I just found hilarious. | ||
Oh, really? | ||
Yeah, like, take teleprompters out of politics. | ||
I think we would, as a country, I'll do a lot better. | ||
So, okay, what's up with young people? | ||
Everyone says that Trump's doing good with Gen Z. What do you think? | ||
unidentified
|
I think it's the young people, Gen Z especially. | |
I'm a millennial. | ||
But the generation coming up behind me, which is Gen Z, I think it's the first generation in a long time that's asking those questions we're talking about. | ||
They're asking the whys, right? | ||
They're challenging the status quo. | ||
And the Gen Z-ers. | ||
They actually want to take this country back. | ||
They want the family unit again. | ||
They want God and faith as a centerpiece, and they really want a chance at the American dream. | ||
Remember, this is a generation that's grown up in this post-9 /11 era, right? | ||
Where we've just grown up with endless wars, with debt hanging over our head, men addicted to porn and vapes, and zero chance at the American dream. | ||
So I really think Gen Zers are finally, and I think it was COVID that really... | ||
You know, fast-tracked all of this, but they're finally asking the right questions. | ||
They want to escape the matrix. | ||
They want to have babies. | ||
They want to have relationships. | ||
Because that's punk rock. | ||
That's right. | ||
That's what being a rebel means. | ||
unidentified
|
And that's why it's up to the fraternity brothers to save this country. | |
Yeah, the dudes with the American flag. | ||
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
That's right. | ||
unidentified
|
So I think Gen Z is supporting Donald Trump. | |
I do. | ||
Especially the men. | ||
I think we're, again, I'm worried about the girls in this country, the young white women. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Swifties. | ||
unidentified
|
Not that much. | |
I know that there's some Swifties for Trump out there, but I don't know if it's going to become a movement. | ||
unidentified
|
I'm the most anti-Swiftie you possibly could know. | |
Black men have also, by and large, broken out of a typical trajectory for black men during an election and are voting Trump to the 30% margin, which is crazy in some polls, which is insane. | ||
And something that we regularly find when we're doing man on the streets is... | ||
Dudes come up and they're like, yeah, Trump's my boy. | ||
Trump's my dog. | ||
We had more money under Trump. | ||
That's it, right? | ||
And that seems to... | ||
What's crazy is that, you know, I don't want to classify people, but that's all that you got to do, right, as a president? | ||
Bring back those vibes. | ||
And people have lived through the last four years. | ||
And that's why this moment is kind of, like, enraging. | ||
Because, like, people have actually lived through... | ||
The last four years of Kamala Harris as president. | ||
And they want more of it. | ||
I think it's insane. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, like, the crazy thing, too, is, like, I think the turning point overall for the Democratic Party, 2016 in Michigan, going back even before, like, the general election, but back in the primary. | |
When Bernie Sanders won that state, Hillary Clinton was supposed to get it in the land side. | ||
It was, you know, that was that, you know, that's what was going to happen. | ||
Then, like, you know, like, when he flipped that state, then, you know, like, the Democratic Party, they, like, got a little bit worried. | ||
But then when Trump was doing the work down in Michigan, Then, like, that's where the Democratic Party got rid of. | ||
Like, something is up. | ||
Because you got, like, you know, like, the automobile factory is evident in, like, Michigan and evident. | ||
And then you actually, I remember, I forget the senator's name, but it's the female senator out of Michigan, the Democrat. | ||
She actually sat there and called the DNC and said, we need help out here. | ||
The Democratic Party, they're like, oh, no, this is a battle. | ||
This is not a battleground state. | ||
We're not going to, like, focus here. | ||
But then, and that's the issue overall with the Democratic Party. | ||
They think they have these blue states over here that they can just leave alone and then, like, do nothing. | ||
Perfect example, look at Chicago. | ||
Like, just how you're walking down the street and doing conversations, people saying, oh, no, I'm not, you know, like, I'm not going to be doing that. | ||
And you have the party that just sits and says, we don't have to do anything. | ||
How long has Democrats controlled the city of Chicago itself? | ||
And then you sit here and you just see what's going on. | ||
I'm from New York. | ||
It's happening in New York. | ||
Exactly. | ||
There's a shift there. | ||
When Trump went to Brooklyn, when he went to New York City, you saw the same thing there as well. | ||
It's coming up. | ||
The Bronx. | ||
The Bronx rally. | ||
I'm sorry. | ||
Sorry about it. | ||
Hey, come on. | ||
Don't disrespect. | ||
But yeah, when that rally happened, that sort of set off a light bulb like there's something going on. | ||
Instead, people just... | ||
You just have like... | ||
The elites, I guess, just ignoring it overall. | ||
Trump went to Harlem and the Bronx and got thousands of people there. | ||
Bigger than any AOC rally I've ever seen. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, I mean, yeah. | |
Those folks in the Bronx, they spoke to us directly. | ||
They've never seen AOC. | ||
Did you go to that? | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, of course I went. | |
I had way too much fun. | ||
Did it really? | ||
unidentified
|
What was it like? | |
We got some footage here. | ||
unidentified
|
I'm a born and raised New Yorker, fifth generation. | |
So to see this shift just in the past three and a half years, I was coming home, guys, from that rally that night. | ||
It was very late. | ||
I had my MAGA hat on. | ||
I was half asleep, walking. | ||
And I was getting all these, you know, let's go. | ||
I was like, oh my god, I must look so good tonight. | ||
Totally forgot I had my hat on still. | ||
When I remember it, I got this pit in my stomach. | ||
And I was like, oh my god. | ||
Because three years ago, there's absolutely no way I could have walked 10 blocks of New York City and not got harassed. | ||
Especially, you know, female walking alone. | ||
Wearing a MAGA hat. | ||
But that wasn't the case. | ||
So I almost ripped it off my head. | ||
And then I realized, wait a minute, I've only gotten praise. | ||
That's huge. | ||
It's a simple little story, but that's huge for New York City. | ||
So, you can wear MAGA hats now. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
I see MAGA hats here in Chicago. | ||
One of the first things we saw on the street was a good dude in MAGA hat. | ||
And he was like, F Jesse Smollett. | ||
That's what he said. | ||
He's like, I don't care if it hurts your feelings. | ||
I'm wearing my MAGA hat in Chicago. | ||
unidentified
|
I think MAGA has a new meaning overall. | |
Because, like, I think, you know, just, like, people overall, they, like, sat there, they understand, like, you know, I call, like, Trump 1.0 or 2.0. | ||
The first administration, they saw the economic boom, they saw where they were, they saw their families, everything was going on. | ||
Then they had Joe. | ||
Now they're sitting there, they're like, we want to make America great again. | ||
We want to go back to what we had underneath Trump. | ||
And I think that's why, like, it's, you know, people are more coming out and saying that. | ||
Yeah, well, I think Trump 2.0 is the forgotten American, right? | ||
And it kind of goes back to what you were saying before, when everything shifted. | ||
Now... | ||
Look who is representative of the Democrat Party. | ||
They're paying influencers. | ||
They're hiring. | ||
They are. | ||
unidentified
|
Holly weird liberals to come twerk. | |
Begging. | ||
Yes. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Yeah. | ||
They're begging. | ||
They're begging the biggest streamers. | ||
And the reports are that it's like $500,000 for some of the biggest. | ||
These videos are so good. | ||
Some of the biggest streamers. | ||
unidentified
|
They're like, nah. | |
Yeah. | ||
They all say no to Kamala. | ||
unidentified
|
That's when you know. | |
Do you think the Joe Biden brand is so bad that it's going to... | ||
That is going to tank it. | ||
unidentified
|
What's the brand? | |
Where's the merch? | ||
I mean, I genuinely don't see it. | ||
I mean, I'm sure you can pack a bunch. | ||
You can go to SeaWorld, right? | ||
And you bring out the sardines and the seals clap to them, right? | ||
And they'll do tricks. | ||
And you got a bunch of seals. | ||
There's going to be a bunch of people at the United Center, right? | ||
And they're paid to sit there and clap. | ||
And their paychecks are literally tied to it. | ||
So, you know, whatever. | ||
But I don't... | ||
I don't think people are actually buying it. | ||
I don't know. | ||
Maybe people are that dumb. | ||
But, like, you do realize that she was president, right? | ||
You do realize these last four years. | ||
unidentified
|
Of course. | |
All of it's her fault. | ||
unidentified
|
This is a honeymoon. | |
It's a sugar high. | ||
I mean, how much dopamine and adrenaline are you going to have, you know, in a few more weeks when you have to pay your groceries? | ||
Fill up your gas tank and walk the streets and you don't feel safe. | ||
So this sugar high can't last for much longer. | ||
Dude, women go and complain about all the stuff that they vote for. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, it's my favorite. | |
I'm so upset. | ||
I'm scared. | ||
Like, it's like, dude, you voted for this. | ||
unidentified
|
I don't care. | |
Like, what's the deal? | ||
unidentified
|
The best one was there was this viral TikTok trend going around of men punching random women in the streets of Manhattan. | |
And my amazing girlfriends are writing in our group chats, liberals. | ||
Guys, I don't feel safe. | ||
I can't walk the streets. | ||
I don't feel safe. | ||
I was like, you guys voted for this. | ||
Do we correlate anything, ladies? | ||
Come on. | ||
Come on, girls. | ||
And no one understands. | ||
I mean, I punch back. | ||
I would love to get it. | ||
I would love for someone to try to punch me in the streets. | ||
That's a New Yorker in her. | ||
Yeah, I hope you're armed. | ||
I would not ever allow my, you know, I have two daughters. | ||
I would never allow them to go to New York. | ||
I would never allow them to, like, go move to New York or do anything like that. | ||
It's, like, so horribly unsafe. | ||
unidentified
|
No, but seriously, these ladies aren't correlating. | |
This is who you voted for. | ||
And then they're still like, oh, Kamala, that's my girl. | ||
It's very Stockholm Syndrome, right? | ||
It's very like, oh, my captors, like, they are the greatest. | ||
And they're the people hurting you. | ||
And they don't understand. | ||
They're like the subjects of this horrible experiment, this horrible test. | ||
And, like, the person shocking you is the scientist. | ||
And it's Stockholm Syndrome. | ||
It's totally depraved. | ||
unidentified
|
I don't know how we save the women, though, or if we even bother trying. | |
Right? | ||
It's like, focus on more of the low-propensity voters that are maybe males. | ||
We can't... | ||
I mean, you know, I know plenty of Trump moms in my neighborhood. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay, so that's different, right? | |
I'm talking young women. | ||
Once you're a mom, once you upset a mama bear, look at what the moms in this country are doing now. | ||
They're attending the school board meetings. | ||
They know what's going on. | ||
They're putting food on the table, right? | ||
They're worried about the indoctrination that's going on in the classroom for their kids. | ||
So once you upset a mama bear, they don't care about party lines. | ||
They don't care about red versus blue. | ||
They don't see issues like that anymore. | ||
It's like, this is my child, and I will... | ||
But the issue, I think, overall, it just starts kind of like you're saying, like, in the colleges overall, just like, you know, with the Democratic Party and, like, the liberal ideologies, they just go after them right then and there. | ||
And that's where, like, it just kind of grabs them right away instead of, like, you know, like, and that's the issue overall that we just have to address after all. | ||
Right. | ||
So we got Jill Biden finally coming up here. | ||
It is 11.15 Eastern Standard Time. | ||
Which is unbelievable. | ||
They're going to put Joe Biden. | ||
This is insane. | ||
unidentified
|
It's way past 8 p.m. bedtime. | |
So they're going to put Joe Biden on stage. | ||
Here we go. | ||
They got some video, I guess, or some weird girl on stage. | ||
unidentified
|
Any twerking? | |
Yeah, no twerking yet. | ||
unidentified
|
Damn, I'm out. | |
I know. | ||
We've been waiting for Jill Biden twerking on stage in some dress that looks like she stole a bath curtain from Bed Bath& Beyond Bargain sale. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay, that's another thing that's been bothering me, speaking of. | |
Why is Kamala Harris the first female that could be president? | ||
Why doesn't she dress like a girl? | ||
See, they have a masked kid up doing it. | ||
That was like a kid with a mask. | ||
Okay. | ||
Dr. Jill Biden. | ||
What's she doctor of, exactly? | ||
Okay. | ||
Well, it looks like we're going to get our Dr. Jill Biden. | ||
Okay, here we go. | ||
Remember, Joe, you answered all the questions! | ||
unidentified
|
You did so good! | |
Joe, you answered all the questions! | ||
Oh, boy. | ||
No, less of a bath curtain. | ||
unidentified
|
Looks kind of like a latex. | |
Looks like a shower floor. | ||
unidentified
|
They're getting those out in the vasectomy buses, actually. | |
Yeah, that's right. | ||
Okay, here we go. | ||
Here, we got... | ||
We got Jill. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
I got, uh... | ||
Yes, Lady Macbeth here. | ||
This is what they promised her. | ||
They promised her they'd hold little green signs with her name on him. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you so much. | |
Love you too. | ||
The eternal humiliation of her family. | ||
unidentified
|
Joe and I have been together for almost 50 years. | |
Yeah, since you ruined his marriage. | ||
You remember when you were married when you first met Joe? | ||
unidentified
|
There are moments when I fall in love with him all over again. | |
Just like your first husband? | ||
unidentified
|
Like when I handed him our baby Ashley for the first time and saw the smile that lit up his face. | |
Or on nights after an exhausting day working in the Senate. | ||
When he would read one more bedtime story just because the kids asked. | ||
When he stops on a rope line because he sees someone grieving who needs to know that everything is going to be all right one day. | ||
Or to encourage that child with a stutter to find the confidence she needs. | ||
Those moments when I'm reminded of all he's accomplished in the name of something bigger than himself. | ||
Receiving the Medal of Freedom with humility. | ||
Oh yeah, Joe Biden, humble. | ||
That's the word I'd use, actually, for Joe Biden, who answered every question. | ||
unidentified
|
Placing his hand on our family Bible to take his oath of office. | |
Placing his nose on the head of every child. | ||
unidentified
|
And weeks ago, when I saw him dig deep into his soul and decide to no longer see re-election and endorse Kamala Harris. | |
Oh, wow. | ||
That must have been... | ||
This is actually so sad. | ||
It's actually so painful. | ||
unidentified
|
Feels like a eulogy. | |
This is so, so unbelievably painful. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, it's awful. | |
With faith and conviction. | ||
Joe knows that our nation's strength doesn't come from intimidation or cruelty. | ||
It comes from the small acts of kindness that heal deep wounds, from service to the communities that make us who we are, from love of a country that shines with promise and renewal. | ||
Kamala Harris knows that too. | ||
Huh? | ||
She's wearing saran wrap, like bedazzled saran wrap. | ||
unidentified
|
Our son Beau first worked with Kamala when he was Attorney General of Delaware. | |
He told me at the dinner table one night, Mom, she's special. | ||
Someone to keep your eye on. | ||
And he was right. | ||
Joe and I know Kamala. | ||
We have seen her courage, her determination, and her leadership up close. | ||
Kamala and Tim you will win And you are inspiring a new generation. | ||
We are all a part of something bigger than ourselves, and we are stronger than we know. | ||
The future of our country is in the hands of those in this room and all of you watching at home. | ||
It's going to take all of us, and we can't afford to lose. | ||
With faith in each other, hope for a brighter future, And love for our country. | ||
We will fight and we will win together. | ||
Thank you. | ||
You answered every question! | ||
unidentified
|
Joe! | |
Oh! | ||
Okay, good. | ||
They play a hit from about 20 years ago. | ||
Which is the last time, again, that the Bidens were relevant. | ||
This is it. | ||
This is it. | ||
Who sings that song? | ||
Love You Like I Should. | ||
Oh, good boy. | ||
Here we go. | ||
unidentified
|
We got Elvis. | |
Heroin Elvis. | ||
All right. | ||
This is Ashley Biden. | ||
unidentified
|
I have this memory. | |
Reading from her diary, I think. | ||
unidentified
|
It's the eve of my eighth birthday. | |
Shower time. | ||
unidentified
|
Dad is still in D.C. tending to urgent matters in the Senate. | |
That night, as a surprise, Mom told me, Bo, and Hunter to get in the car. | ||
I remember pulling up to the Wilmington Amtrak station, riding up the escalator to the platform. | ||
The train stops, doors open, and Dad steps out. | ||
Wow. | ||
unidentified
|
As soon as I saw him, I run down that platform and jump into his arms. | |
Like magic, Mom brought out a cake, they sang happy birthday, and I blew out the candles. | ||
Dad hugged me, and he said that he had to get back to work. | ||
He crossed to the southbound train, and off he went to D.C. That was a snapshot. | ||
My dad abandoned me on my birthday. | ||
unidentified
|
On this extraordinary journey of being Joe Biden's daughter. | |
My dad abandoned me on my birthday after shower time. | ||
Sad. | ||
unidentified
|
Joe Biden is the OG girl dad. | |
He told me I could be anything and I could do anything. | ||
As a child, I would sit on the leather chair in his office doing my homework, and he would sit next to me doing his work, drafting the Violence Against Women Act. | ||
Oh, got it. | ||
Okay, well, then why did my dad allow me to go to rehab? | ||
Why did my dad allow me to go to rehab? | ||
I'm a drug addict. | ||
unidentified
|
I could see, and he wasn't just a girl dad, I could see that he valued and trusted women. | |
How he listened to his mother. | ||
unidentified
|
How he believed in his sister. | |
And most of all, how he respected my mother's career. | ||
Dad was always there doing everything he could to be a true partner to her. | ||
Dad, you always tell us. | ||
But we don't tell you enough. | ||
That you are the love of our lives and the life of our love. | ||
Thank you for abandoning us. | ||
It's like a Hallmark card. | ||
Thank you for abandoning us on our birthdays. | ||
unidentified
|
I had my wedding reception in my parents' backyard. | |
At the time, my dad was vice president. | ||
But he was also that dad who literally set up the entire reception. | ||
He was riding around in his John Deere four-wheeler, fixing the place settings, arranging the plants, and by the way, he was very emotional. | ||
I thought that I would be a mess, but he was the one crying, and I was the one who had to comfort him. | ||
Before he walked me down the aisle, he turned to me and said that he would always be my best friend. | ||
All these years later, Dad, you are still my best friend. | ||
His example in service inspired my career. | ||
I'm a social worker in Philadelphia. | ||
You've done a terrible job. | ||
Philadelphia's in shambles. | ||
unidentified
|
I support formerly incarcerated women as they heal... | |
Lady, you just got out of rehab like a few months ago. | ||
unidentified
|
Dad always told me that I was no better than anybody else and nobody was better than me. | |
He taught me that everyone deserves a fair shot and that we shouldn't leave anyone behind. | ||
That's what you learn from a fighter who has been underestimated his entire life. | ||
When I look at Dad, I see Grace, strength, and humility. | ||
I see one of the most consequential leaders ever in history. | ||
Really? | ||
Wow, you're paid to say that. | ||
And I also know that he never stops thinking about you, about your dreams, about your dignity, about your opportunities, about your family. | ||
Dad knows that family is everything. | ||
When Hunter and I lost our brother Beau to cancer in 2015, the grief and the pain felt like it might never end. | ||
Dad had the capacity to step out of his own pain and absorb ours. | ||
And I know that Beau is here with us tonight, as he is always with us. | ||
After Bo passed, I got this tattoo on my wrist. | ||
It says, courage, dear heart. | ||
A reminder to myself to keep going, to get back up, like my dad has always done. | ||
He has taught me that a courageous heart is a miraculous thing. | ||
A courageous heart can heal a family. | ||
A courageous heart can heal a nation. | ||
And maybe... | ||
Even the world. | ||
And now this election requires the courageous hearts of all of us. | ||
In 2020, my dad selected Kamala Harris to beat Donald Trump. | ||
And he knows in 2024 she will beat Donald Trump again. | ||
Why is she sniffing so much? | ||
Why do you sound like Joan Rivers? | ||
unidentified
|
Friends in a family. | |
Yeah. | ||
Man. | ||
unidentified
|
So tonight, I am asking you, if you stood with us in 2020, call upon your courageous heart. | |
Stand with us today. | ||
Work harder than you have ever worked before in your life. | ||
This is the fight of our lifetime. | ||
Our freedom, our democracy, our reproductive rights. | ||
All of this, all of it is on the ballot. | ||
And I know together we can do this. | ||
Because my dad helped show us the way. | ||
Oh yeah, he's done such a great job. | ||
He did such a great job that he dropped out! | ||
unidentified
|
And now, I would like to introduce my father, your 46th president of the United States, Joe Biden! | |
Why not Hunter? | ||
unidentified
|
Oh my goodness. | |
Oh, no. | ||
Oh, don't kiss her on the mouth. | ||
Oh, gross. | ||
Oh, that was weird. | ||
Okay. | ||
unidentified
|
No, I just, I mean, just, let's just, let's just play. | |
So they're gonna, they're gonna have plates. | ||
Okay, Motown. | ||
All right. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, no. | |
What is going on? | ||
It's so painful. | ||
Let over. | ||
unidentified
|
You know your life is losing. | |
Keep going and getting higher. | ||
Higher and higher. | ||
Higher and higher. | ||
I said your life is losing. | ||
Here it goes. | ||
Higher and higher. | ||
Minnesota! | ||
I was down to the sky. | ||
Sorry. | ||
They're so weird. | ||
Such a cult! | ||
unidentified
|
Oh no. | |
Look at what they're doing. | ||
This is what they promised them. | ||
They said we'll force you to speak on the first night of the convention. | ||
Thank you. | ||
We'll get these little placards with your name on it. | ||
unidentified
|
Very cute. | |
Where's Hunter? | ||
Where's Jim Carrey? | ||
unidentified
|
Which Biden is this? | |
I'm pretty sure you can see the chin. | ||
I'm pretty sure it's number four. | ||
Number four is my favorite. | ||
Call him at number seven. | ||
unidentified
|
I love the guy that was crying. | |
Thank you. | ||
unidentified
|
Who weeps for Joe Biden? | |
Could you imagine cheering for this criminal? | ||
Dude, you can tell this is going to be so messed up. | ||
Thank you, thank you, thank you. | ||
Joe Biden so wants to be in bed right now. | ||
He has no idea where he is. | ||
He's going to do something crazy. | ||
He's going to take his shoes off and do a somersault. | ||
Tell everybody he ordered the hit on Trump. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you, thank you, thank you. | |
One of the most despised, least popular, truly so humiliating to his own party and to his own people that he dropped out before standing for the election. | ||
After saying that... | ||
God, couldn't even get him to drop out. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
Thank you. | ||
I love you. | ||
Thank you. | ||
So wait, if they love him so much, if he's getting all these cheers, why doesn't Joe just announce he's running for president again? | ||
Joe! | ||
Joe! | ||
Just say you're running for president. | ||
You have the chance to do the funniest thing ever. | ||
Say you're not dropping out! | ||
unidentified
|
No! | |
Actually, it's showtime! | ||
Thank you. | ||
Thank you, Joe. | ||
Back to AI Joe Biden. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep, sure. | |
All right, boys. | ||
The chat is rolling. | ||
Let's go, baby. | ||
Let's go, Brandon. | ||
Get your Let's Go Brandons up. | ||
I want to see some Let's Go Brandons in the chat. | ||
Okay? | ||
Let's Go Brandons in the chat. | ||
Give me some LGBTs in the chat. | ||
Let's get them out while we got them. | ||
I tell you what. | ||
unidentified
|
All right. | |
Look at my new teeth. | ||
Give me your best Let's Go Brandon. | ||
to my dearest daughter Ashley. | ||
unidentified
|
Nice yelling. | |
Yeah. | ||
God love you, you're incredible. | ||
unidentified
|
The Mads. | |
Thank you for the introduction. | ||
unidentified
|
You gave my courageous heart. | |
I think they did the telephone up in all caps. | ||
Where's Hunter? | ||
Where's Hunter? | ||
For those of you who know us, she still leaves me both breathless and speechless. | ||
Everybody knows her. | ||
I love her more than she loves me. | ||
She walks down the stairs, and I still get that going, boom, boom, boom, boom. | ||
You all will know me. | ||
No, I'm kidding. | ||
Let's give a special round of applause to our First Lady Jill Biden. | ||
It's not Jill that leaves you speechless. | ||
is the dementia. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
My dad used to have an expression, for real. | ||
He'd say, Joey, family is the beginning, the middle, and the end. | ||
And I love you all. | ||
Folks. | ||
And America, I love you! | ||
unidentified
|
That was very convincing. | |
Very painful. | ||
It seemed painful. | ||
Bitter, angry. | ||
Joe Biden's pissed. | ||
Joe Biden's pissed. | ||
He knows it. | ||
Oh, they love him so much, they dumped him from the ticket! | ||
They forced him to resign! | ||
That's how much they love him. | ||
Oh man, what a Shakespearean, Macbeth level. | ||
Are you ready to vote for freedom? | ||
unidentified
|
Cringe. | |
Are you ready to vote for democracy and for America? | ||
Let me ask you, are you ready to elect Kamala Harris and Tim Woltz, President of the United It's like an Anchorman character. | ||
My fellow Democrats, my fellow Americans, nearly four years ago, in winter, on the steps of the Capitol, on a cold January day, I raised my right hand and I swore an oath to you and to God to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution and to faithfully execute the office of the President of the United States. | ||
He sounds bad, man. | ||
Oh, gosh. | ||
Oh, here we go. | ||
A Capitol that's two weeks before had been overrun by a violent mob. | ||
Oh, it was like a seven minute... | ||
unidentified
|
The second line of the script. | |
They have nothing else to go to. | ||
There is no place in America for political violence. | ||
None. | ||
unidentified
|
What about the summer of love? | |
You cannot say you love your country only when you win. | ||
In that moment, I wasn't looking to the past. | ||
I was looking to the future. | ||
I spoke of the work at hand. | ||
The moment we had to meet, it was as I told you then. | ||
A winter of peril and possibility. | ||
Of peril and possibility. | ||
We're in the grip of a once-in-a-century pandemic. | ||
Historic joblessness. | ||
A call for racial justice long overdue. | ||
Clear and present threats to our very democracy. | ||
Thank you. | ||
It's protesters, is what's going on. | ||
So they're taught to chant like sheep when there's a Hamas hole. | ||
That's a perfect pair. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, I didn't see it for you. | |
That was a great shot. | ||
And I believe now that progress was and is possible. | ||
Justice is achievable. | ||
And our best days are not behind us, they're before us. | ||
Why is he yelling? | ||
Like, bro. | ||
He's yelling because he's actually pissed. | ||
Now it's summer. | ||
The winter has passed. | ||
And with a grateful heart, I stand before you now on this August night to report that democracy has prevailed. | ||
unidentified
|
Wait. | |
Democracy. | ||
Democracy has delivered. | ||
And now democracy must be preserved. | ||
So he talks about political violence and doesn't mention that Trump just ate a bullet two weeks ago? | ||
unidentified
|
What, a protest was down the street from him? | |
Yeah, yeah, that's right. | ||
You've heard me say it before. | ||
We're facing an inflection point. | ||
One of those rare moments in history when the decisions we make now will determine the fate of our nation and the world. | ||
For decades to come. | ||
That's not hyperbole. | ||
I mean it literally. | ||
We're in a battle for the very soul of America. | ||
I ran for president in 2020 because of what I saw in Charlottesville in August of 2017. | ||
Extremists coming out of the woods carrying torches, their veins bulging from their necks. | ||
Carrying Nazi swastikas and chanting the same exact anti-Semitic bile that was heard in Germany in the early 30s. | ||
Neo-Nazis, white supremacists in the Ku Klux Klan, so emboldened by a president then in the White House that they saw as an ally. | ||
They didn't even bother to wear their hoods. | ||
Hayden was on the march in America. | ||
Old ghosts in new garments stirring up the oldest divisions, stoking the oldest fears, giving oxygen to the oldest forces that they had long sought to tear apart America. | ||
In the process, a young woman was killed. | ||
When I contacted her mother, I asked about What happened? | ||
She told me. | ||
When the president was asked what he thought had happened, Donald Trump said, and I quote, there are very fine people on both sides. | ||
I can't believe it. | ||
They're going with the hopes. | ||
That is what he said and what he meant. | ||
They're going with the hopes. | ||
This is incredible. | ||
Wow. | ||
I had to listen to the admonition of my dead son. | ||
I could not stay in the sidelines. | ||
This has been debunked time and time again. | ||
A politifact debunked this. | ||
Because I had no intention of running again. | ||
I just lost part of my soul. | ||
But I ran with a deep conviction. | ||
In America, I know and believe in an America where honesty, dignity, decency still matter. | ||
In America! | ||
Where everyone has a fair shot and hate has no safe harbor. | ||
Dude, this is the weirdest, angriest, most twisted speech. | ||
He's like yelling the speech. | ||
He's like bitter and angry. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, he is. | |
All of us are created equal. | ||
He's still very much alive. | ||
And a broad coalition of Americans joined with me. | ||
81 million voters voted for us. | ||
There's no way in hell. | ||
There is no way in hell, dude. | ||
No. | ||
unidentified
|
Because of all of you in this room and others, we came together in 2020. | |
Bro, you're so popular, you dropped out! | ||
You quit! | ||
As your president, I've been determined to keep America moving forward, not going back. | ||
To stand against hate and violence in all its forms. | ||
To be a nation where we not only live with but thrive on diversity. | ||
Demonizing no one. | ||
Leaving no one behind. | ||
unidentified
|
To become a nation that we profess to be. | |
I also ran to rebuild the backbone of America. | ||
The middle class. | ||
Oh, you've done a great job of that, really. | ||
Yeah, you've done an amazing job, truly. | ||
I made a commitment to you that I be a president for all Americans, whether you voted for me or not. | ||
We have done that. | ||
Studies show the major bills we have passed actually delivered more to red states than blue. | ||
Because the job of the president is delivered to all of America. | ||
Because of you, and I'm not exaggerating, because of you, we've had one of the most extraordinary four years of progress ever. | ||
Period. | ||
Bro, you dropped out because you were so, you were less popular than ass cancer. | ||
Bro, you dropped out. | ||
You quit. | ||
unidentified
|
Your party forced you to quit. | |
COVID no longer controls our lives. | ||
We got the economic crisis to the strongest economy in the entire world. | ||
Record 16 million new jobs. | ||
Record small business growth. | ||
Record high stock market. | ||
Record high 401ks. | ||
Wages up. | ||
Inflation down. | ||
Way down. | ||
And continuing to go down. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Not. | ||
The smallest racial wealth gap in 20 years. | ||
Everyone's poor! | ||
We both know we have more to do, but we're moving in the right direction. | ||
More Americans have peace of mind that comes from having health insurance. | ||
More Americans have health insurance today than ever before in American history. | ||
And after, as a young senator beginning to fight, beginning to fight for 50 years to give Medicare the power to negotiate lower prescription drug prices, we finally beat Big Pharma! | ||
We beat Medicare! | ||
unidentified
|
We beat Medicare! | |
And guess who cast the tie-breaking vote? | ||
Vice President soon-to-be-President Kamala Harris! | ||
Dude, he's so angry. | ||
This is such horrible delivery. | ||
And now it's the law of the land. | ||
Instead of paying $400 a month for insulin, seniors with diabetes will pay $35 a month. | ||
The law we passed already included. | ||
It started in January. | ||
Every senior's total prescription cost can be capped at $2,000 no matter how expensive the drugs they have. | ||
And what we don't focus on, and our Republican friends don't seem to understand, our reforms don't just save seniors money, they save the American taxpayers money. | ||
You know what we just passed saves? | ||
It saved $160 billion over the next decade. | ||
That's not hyperbole. | ||
It's because Medicare no longer has to pay those exorbitant prices to the big pharma. | ||
unidentified
|
Look! | |
We beat Medicare! | ||
We beat Medicare! | ||
unidentified
|
Look! | |
Folks! | ||
unidentified
|
Oh no, he's so confused. | |
How can we have the strongest economy in the world without the best infrastructure in the world? | ||
Jim Carrey needs to dial it back a bit. | ||
Donald Trump promised infrastructure week. | ||
unidentified
|
Every week for four years. | |
And he never built a damn thing. | ||
Trump never built a damn thing. | ||
We are literally broadcasting from Trump Tower. | ||
You jack wagon. | ||
unidentified
|
It's imaginary. | |
Remember we were told we couldn't get it done. | ||
Remember when we came into office? | ||
We couldn't get anything passed. | ||
But right now, we're giving America an infrastructure decade, not week. | ||
We're modernizing. | ||
Our roads, our bridges, our ports, our airports, our trains, our buses. | ||
Removing every lead pipe from schools and homes so every child can drink clean water. | ||
We're providing affordable high-speed internet for every American, no matter where they live, unlike, not unlike what Roosevelt did with electricity. | ||
And so much more. | ||
We are uniting the country. | ||
We're growing out. | ||
Bring out corn pop. | ||
We're improving our quality of life. | ||
And we're building a better America. | ||
It'd be amazing to have the final battle. | ||
If Corn Pop comes out... | ||
Dude, if Corn Pop comes out and they have the final battle on stage... | ||
How can we be the strongest nation in the world without leading the world in science and technology? | ||
After years of importing 90% of our semiconductor chips from abroad... | ||
Which America invented those chips. | ||
Our Chips and Science Act meant that private companies from around the world are now investing literally tens of billions of dollars to build new chip factories right here in America. | ||
And over that period, they'll create tens of thousands of jobs. | ||
And many of those jobs are the so-called fabs. | ||
The building that makes the chips that's being constructed now. | ||
And guess what? | ||
The average salary in those fabs, the size of a football field, will be over $100,000 a year, and you don't need a college degree. | ||
Oh, man. | ||
This is so dumb. | ||
There's so many electeds out there. | ||
American manufacturing is back. | ||
Where the hell to say we wouldn't lead the world of manufacturing? | ||
unidentified
|
800,000 new manufacturing jobs. | |
He's slurring. | ||
He's wobbling. | ||
His tone's all off. | ||
His meds are all off. | ||
His eyes are all glassy. | ||
Made sure they'd go abroad to get the cheapest labor. | ||
We used to import products and export jobs. | ||
Now we export American products and create American jobs. | ||
Right here in America. | ||
His meds, man. | ||
His meds are on. | ||
His jobs belong. | ||
unidentified
|
Him and Kamala drank together before this. | |
With every new job. | ||
unidentified
|
He just reminds me of Grandpa Simpson. | |
With every new factory. | ||
Yeah, that's right. | ||
Pride and hope is being brought back to communities throughout the country that were left behind. | ||
You know you're from him, many of you. | ||
You know what it's like when that factory closed, where your mother, your father, your grandmother, your grandfather worked. | ||
And now you're back, providing once again, proving that Wall Street didn't build America, the middle class built America, and unions built the middle class. | ||
What he's trying to do, he's trying to do like, no, I have so much energy. | ||
I'm Joe. | ||
I'm with energy. | ||
I'm Energy Joe. | ||
I'm so forceful. | ||
But it's like, the tone's all off. | ||
It's been my abuse since I came to the Senate. | ||
It's so forced. | ||
I've been the first president to walk a picket line and be labeled the most pro-union president in history, and I accept it. | ||
It's a fact. | ||
I was banging his fist on the podium. | ||
That's correct. | ||
This is exactly what I said. | ||
Because when unions do well, we all do well. | ||
unidentified
|
*applause* | |
You got it, man. | ||
You got it. | ||
Oh, my God. | ||
Very Batman villain. | ||
unidentified
|
Look. | |
I agree. | ||
I'm proud. | ||
Look. | ||
Remember, he told we couldn't get anything done because we couldn't get anything done in the Congress. | ||
But with your support, we passed the most significant climate law in the history of mankind. | ||
Over $370 billion. | ||
Cutting carbon emissions in half by 2030. | ||
Launching a Climate Corps, similar to AmeriCorps and Peace Corps, creating tens of thousands of jobs for young people of the future. | ||
We're going to make sure this continues. | ||
Creating hundreds of thousands of jobs in clean energy for American workers, including the IBEW installing 500,000. | ||
500,000 charging stations all across America. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, man. | |
I love the crowd shots. | ||
I love the crowd shots. | ||
Reducing carbon emissions. | ||
Literal Democrat memes. | ||
And we're seeing it. | ||
We're seeing to it that the first beneficiaries of environmental initiatives are those fence-lined communities that have been smothered by the legacy of pollution in Louisiana and Delaware. | ||
Route 9. All the factors, all those chemical factors are right next to the poorest neighborhoods. | ||
They're the ones we're going to bring back! | ||
unidentified
|
Loud noises! | |
Why are you yelling, Brit? | ||
How can we be the greatest nation in the world without the best education system in the world? | ||
Donald Trump and the Republican friends, they not only can't think, they can't read very well. | ||
unidentified
|
No. | |
Shh, bro. | ||
unidentified
|
He's not on script at all. | |
Yeah, that's right. | ||
unidentified
|
You can see it. | |
It's dangerous. | ||
He's in dangerous territory. | ||
Kamala and I help states and cities get their schools back open. | ||
And we gave public school teachers a raise. | ||
unidentified
|
Why are you employing us a chance? | |
Get away. | ||
Putting students on a path to a good playing job, whether or not they go to college. | ||
unidentified
|
The way he's sounding, I kind of want him at the end just to be like, and I'm so wonderful president. | |
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
You have the chance to do the funniest thing. | |
Over 15 billion dollars for HBCUs. | ||
See? | ||
Wow, you've done so much great work. | ||
Minority service engines. | ||
Run for president again. | ||
Including Hispanic institutions. | ||
unidentified
|
I think Dr. Biden forgot to tell him he's not running anymore. | |
We kept our commitment to provide more student relief than ever by lifting the burden of helping millions of families so they can get married, start a family, buy a home, and begin to build family wealth and contribute to the community and grow our economy. | ||
It's not costing us, it's creating more wealth. | ||
We've fundamentally transformed how our economy grows, from the middle out and the bottom up, instead of the top down. | ||
You know, my dad used to say there wasn't a whole hell of a lot to drop down on my kitchen table at the end of the month. | ||
I come from a basic middle-class family. | ||
Three-bedroom house, four kids, a grandpop living with us. | ||
Decent neighborhood, but never a penny to spare. | ||
And look, that top-down notion never worked. | ||
A lot of Democrats didn't think it worked, thought it worked, but it doesn't. | ||
And when we did all that, what we've done, everybody can do well. | ||
Everybody. | ||
Dude, he's like missing every line. | ||
Donald Trump! | ||
He's slurring. | ||
Calls America a failing nation. | ||
Yeah. | ||
No, I'm serious. | ||
But think about this. | ||
Think about this. | ||
No, I'm serious, folks. | ||
He publicly says to the whole world, I'm going to say something outrageous. | ||
I know more foreign leaders by their first names and know them well than anybody alive. | ||
Just because I'm so damn old. | ||
unidentified
|
At least he admitted it. | |
But I'm not joking. | ||
Think of the message he sends around the world. | ||
When he talks about America being a fairly nation, he says we're losing. | ||
He's the loser. | ||
unidentified
|
He's dead wrong! | |
Many of you are very successful people who travel the world. | ||
Name me a country in the world that doesn't think we're the leading nation in the world. | ||
Without America. | ||
Not a joke. | ||
Think about it. | ||
I'm being literal. | ||
Who can lead the world other than the United States of America? | ||
But guess what? | ||
Blood alone moves the wheels of time. | ||
And the world's better off for it. | ||
America is more prosperous. | ||
And America is safer today than the runner of Donald Trump. | ||
Trump continues to lie about crime in America, like everything else. | ||
Guess what? | ||
On his watch... | ||
The murder rate went up 30%, the biggest increase in history. | ||
Meanwhile, we made the largest investment, Kamala and I, in public safety ever. | ||
Now, the murder rate is falling faster than any time in history. | ||
Violent crime has dropped to the lowest level in more than 50 years. | ||
And crime will keep coming down when we put a prosecutor in the Oval Office instead of a convicted felon. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
Pluck these gunaways to the ground! | ||
And folks, distinguished senator from the C-Senator from California and I passed the first ban on assault weapons. | ||
And guess what? | ||
It worked. | ||
If we care about public safety, we need to prevent gun violence. | ||
And it makes me ashamed when I travel the world, which I do. | ||
More children in America are killed by a gunshot than any other cause in the United States. | ||
More die from a bullet than cancer, accidents, or anything else in the United States of America. | ||
My God! | ||
That's why Kamala and I are proud. | ||
We beat the NRA when we passed the first major bipartisan gun safety run in 30 years. | ||
She's so angry that he said Kamala and I... | ||
They're like, don't mention that she's your vice president. | ||
Now it's time to ban assault weapons again. | ||
The dude's shaking. | ||
And demand universal background checks. | ||
It's hard. | ||
I never thought I'd stand before a crowd of Democrats who... | ||
Refer to a president as a liar so many times. | ||
No, I'm not trying to be funny. | ||
It's sad. | ||
Trump continues to lie about the border. | ||
Here's what he won't tell you. | ||
Trump killed the strongest bipartisan border deal in the history of the United States. | ||
That we negotiated with the Senate Republicans. | ||
It took four weeks. | ||
Once it passed, and they've acknowledged the most expansive border change in American history, he called senators to say, don't support the bipartisan bill. | ||
He said it would help me politically and hurt him politically. | ||
My God. | ||
No, I'm serious. | ||
Think about it. | ||
Not a joke. | ||
Ask any press who doesn't like me. | ||
They'll tell you that's true. | ||
Typically, Trump, once again, putting himself first and America last. | ||
Then I had to take executive action. | ||
The result of the executive action I took, border encounters have dropped over 50 percent. | ||
In fact, there are fewer border crossing today than when Donald Trump left office. | ||
Bro, it's midnight Eastern Standard Time. | ||
We will not demonize immigrants. | ||
Saying they're the poisonous blood of America, the poisonous blood of our country. | ||
Kamala and I are committed to strengthening legal immigration, including protecting DREAMers and more. | ||
unidentified
|
He's cooked. | |
He's actually defending his immigration policy. | ||
This is remarkable. | ||
And here's what else I believe in: protecting your freedom, your freedom to vote. | ||
Your freedom will love who you love. | ||
And your freedom to choose! | ||
In its decision over Attorney Roe v. | ||
Wade, as you heard earlier tonight, the United States Supreme Court majority wrote the following: "Women!" We're not without electoral or political power. | ||
Good job, dudes. | ||
Really, you got it. | ||
You did it. | ||
Maggie Republicans found out the power of women in 2022. | ||
Women are not without electrical power. | ||
Donald Trump is going to find out. | ||
Women have electricity. | ||
unidentified
|
So do you plug them in at night? | |
How does it work? | ||
Gotta ask Joe. | ||
And where Trump and his mega-Republican right-wingers seek to erase history, we Democrats continue to write history and make more history. | ||
I'm proud! | ||
I'm proud to have kept my commitment to appoint the first black woman in the United States Supreme Court. | ||
To Tonji Brown Jackson, the symbol for every young woman in America that you can do anything. | ||
I'm proud that I've kept my commitment to have an administration that looks like America and that taps in to the full talent of our nation. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
The most diverse cabinet in history, including the first black woman in South Asian descent to serve as vice president. | ||
Black woman of South Asian descent? | ||
And will soon serve as the 47th president of the United States. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, I don't know. | |
That's good. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
I see what they did there. | ||
She is good. | ||
unidentified
|
Look. | |
Thank you, Kamala. | ||
Folks, I've long said we have many obligations as a nation, but I got in trouble years ago for saying I'd make no apologies. | ||
We have only one truly sacred obligation, to prepare And equip those we send to war and care for them and their families when they come home and when they don't. | ||
That's why I'm so proud to have written and signed the PAC Act, one of the most significant laws ever, helping veterans and their families exposed to toxic materials like burnt pits in Agent Orange. | ||
I was around during the Vietnam War. | ||
Yes, we know. | ||
unidentified
|
It's hard. | |
Nobody was able to prove that their illness was a consequence of Agent Orange. | ||
And no one was able to prove initially that because they lived in burn pits like my son lived next to in Iraq for a year, that is the cause of their illness. | ||
But because of the PACT Act, a surviving spouse to two children is now eligible for a stipend of about $3,000 a month. | ||
And those children who lost a parent are eligible for tuition benefits to go to college and to get job training. | ||
It's already helping over one million veterans in their families just so far. | ||
Well, I love them, and I'm so proud of my son's service. | ||
We get it. | ||
But guess who doesn't get it and doesn't respect our veterans? | ||
Tim Walz. | ||
We know from his own chief of staff, the four-star General John Kelly, that Trump, when in Europe, would not go to the grave sites in France. | ||
The brave service members who gave their lives to this country, he called them suckers and losers. | ||
Who in the hell does he think he is? | ||
Who does he think he is? | ||
Oh, my gosh. | ||
Dude, seriously, tone it down, man. | ||
There's no words. | ||
Jim Carrey. | ||
Jim Carrey, tone it down. | ||
Not worthy of being Commander-in-Chief. | ||
Period. | ||
Not then, not now, and not ever. | ||
I mean that. | ||
I mean that from the bottom of my heart. | ||
Just as no Commander-in-Chief. | ||
Should ever bow down to a dictator the way Trump bows down to Putin. | ||
I never have, and I promise you, Kamala Harris will never do it. | ||
Will never bow down. | ||
Bro, your family took like a billion dollars from China. | ||
When Trump left office, Europe and NATO was in tatters. | ||
Not a joke. | ||
America First doctrine changed our whole image in the world. | ||
Well, I spent, they gave the hours, about 190 hours, some total, leaving my counterparts or heads of state in Europe to strengthen NATO. | ||
We did. | ||
We united Europe like it hadn't been united for years, adding Finland and Sweden to NATO. | ||
Ten days before he died, Henry Kissinger called and said, not since. | ||
Not since Napoleon has Europe not looked over their shoulder that Russia would dread. | ||
Until now. | ||
Until now. | ||
Really? | ||
Guess what? | ||
Putin thought he'd take Kiev in three days. | ||
Three years later, Ukraine is still free! | ||
They have a dictator who canceled all elections and who banned Christianity. | ||
When I came to office, the conventional wisdom was that China would inevitably surpass the United States. | ||
They haven't noticed. | ||
No one's saying that now! | ||
Announce you're running for president. | ||
And will keep working to bring hostages home and end the war in Gaza and bring peace and security to the Middle East. | ||
As you know, I wrote a peace treaty for Gaza. | ||
A few days ago, I put forward a proposal that brought us closer to doing that than we've done since October 7th. | ||
We're working around the clock, my secretary of state, to prevent a wider war and reunite hostages of their families and surge humanitarian health and food assistance into Gaza now. | ||
To end the civilian suffering of the Palestinian people and finally, finally, finally deliver a ceasefire and end this war. | ||
Those protesters out in the street, they have a point. | ||
A lot of innocent people are being killed on both sides. | ||
Turn the wall down. | ||
Let them in. | ||
Just as we worked around the clock to bring home wrongfully detained Americans and others from Russia in one of the most complicated swaps in history. | ||
But they're home. | ||
Kamala and I are going to keep working to bring all Americans wrongfully detained around the world home. | ||
Wrongfully defended. | ||
I mean it. | ||
Folks! | ||
Keep saying Kamala and I. Keep doing it. | ||
I've got five months left in my presidency. | ||
Keep saying Kamala and I. I've got a lot to do. | ||
Why is that, Joe? | ||
I intend to get it done. | ||
unidentified
|
Why do you have five months left? | |
Why, Joe? | ||
I thought you were running for president. | ||
It's been the honor of my lifetime to serve as your president. | ||
I love the job, but I love my country more. | ||
I love my country more. | ||
Oh, it's so depressing. | ||
Oh, my gosh. | ||
And all this talk about how I'm angry that all those people said I should step down. | ||
That's not true. | ||
Oh, okay. | ||
Oh, and go to... | ||
Look at the seals. | ||
Look at this. | ||
This is such NPC behavior. | ||
Oh, this is good. | ||
I love my country more, and we need to preserve our democracy. | ||
In 2024, we need you to vote! | ||
We need you to keep the Senate! | ||
We need you to win back the House of Representatives! | ||
And above all, we need you to beat Donald Trump! | ||
And elect Kamala and Tim! | ||
President and Vice President of the United States of America. | ||
unidentified
|
It looks like he's going to cry. | |
Look, they'll continue to lead America forward, creating more jobs, standing up for workers, growing the economy, lower the cost to American families so they just have a little more breathing room. | ||
We've made incredible progress. | ||
We have more work to do. | ||
And Kamala and Tim will continue to take on corporate greed. | ||
And bring down cost of food. | ||
They'll keep taking on Big Pharma, making insulin $35 a month, not just for seniors, but for everyone in America. | ||
And capping prescription drug costs, a total of $2,000, not just for seniors, but for everyone. | ||
And folks, that's going to save America again tens of billions of dollars. | ||
Folks, they'll make housing more affordable, building 3 million new homes, providing $25,000 down payment assistance for the first-time homebuyer. | ||
More than the 10 we approve. | ||
Donald Trump wants new tax on imported goods, food, gas, clothing, and more. | ||
You know what that would cost the average family, according to the experts? | ||
$3,900 a year in a tax. | ||
unidentified
|
No, that's a fact. | |
Kamala and Tim will make the child care tax credit permanent. | ||
Lifting millions of children out of poverty and helping millions of families get ahead. | ||
But you know what Trump has? | ||
He created the largest debt any president had in four years with his $2 trillion tax cut for the wealthy. | ||
Well, Trump has a new plan. | ||
He wants to provide a $5 billion tax cut for corporations that are very wealthy. | ||
Read it. | ||
Put us further in debt. | ||
And, folks, you know we have 1,000 billionaires in America. | ||
unidentified
|
Do you know what their average tax rate they pay? | |
8.2%. | ||
If we just increased their taxes we proposed to 25%, which isn't the highest tax rate even, it would raise $500 billion new dollars over 10 years. | ||
They'd still be very wealthy. | ||
Look. | ||
Kamala and Tim are going to make them pay their fair share. | ||
They'll protect Social Security and Medicare. | ||
Trump wants to cut Social Security and Medicare. | ||
Kamala and Tim will protect your freedom. | ||
They'll protect your right to vote. | ||
They'll protect your civil rights. | ||
And you know Trump will do everything to ban abortion nationwide. | ||
Oh, he will. | ||
You know, Kamala and Tim will do everything they possibly can. | ||
That's why you have to elect the Senate and the House to restore Roe v. | ||
unidentified
|
Wade. | |
The ancient Greeks taught us. | ||
Character is destiny. | ||
For me and Jill, we know Kamala and Doug are people of character. | ||
It's been our honor to serve alongside them. | ||
And we know that Tim and Gwen Waltz are also people of great character. | ||
Selecting Kamala was the very first decision I made when I became our nominee. | ||
And it was the best decision I made my whole career. | ||
We've not only gotten to know each other, we've become close friends. | ||
She's tough. | ||
She's experienced. | ||
And she has enormous integrity. | ||
Enormous integrity. | ||
Her story represents the best American story. | ||
And like many of our best presidents, she was also vice president. | ||
unidentified
|
That's a joke. | |
But she'll be a president our children could look up to. | ||
She'll be a president respected by world leaders because she already is. | ||
She'll be a president we can all be proud of. | ||
And she will be a historic president who puts her stamp on America's future. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
This will be the first presidential election since January 6th. | ||
On that day, we almost lost everything about who we are as a country. | ||
And that threat — this is not hyperbole — that threat is still very much alive. | ||
Donald Trump says he will refuse to accept the election result if he loses again. | ||
Think about that. | ||
He means it. | ||
Think about that. | ||
He's promising a bloodbath. | ||
If he loses, in his words. | ||
Oh my gosh. | ||
This is like the seventh hoax. | ||
On day one, in his own words. | ||
The seventh hoax that Joe Biden's pushed. | ||
By the way, this sucker means it. | ||
All of these things. | ||
No, I'm not joking. | ||
Think about it. | ||
Anybody else said that in the past, you'd think he was crazy. | ||
He is crazy, but you'd think it was an exaggeration. | ||
But he means it. | ||
We can't let that happen. | ||
Folks. | ||
All of us. | ||
We carry a special obligation. | ||
Independents, Republicans, Democrats. | ||
We saved democracy in 2020, and now we must save it again in 2024. | ||
The load of each of us cast this year will determine whether democracy and freedom will prevail. | ||
It's that simple. | ||
It's that serious. | ||
And the power is literally in your hands. | ||
History is in your hands. | ||
Not hyperbole. | ||
It's in your hands. | ||
America's future is in your hands. | ||
unidentified
|
Dude. | |
Dude. | ||
Let me close with this. | ||
unidentified
|
Chill. | |
Nowhere else in the world could a kid with a stutter and modest beginnings in Scranton, Pennsylvania and Claymont, Delaware grow up to sit behind the resolute desk in the Oval Office. | ||
unidentified
|
That... | |
That's because America is and always has been a nation of possibilities. | ||
Possibilities. | ||
We must never lose that. | ||
Never. | ||
Kamala and Tim understand that this nation must continue to be a place of possibilities, not just for the few of us, but for all of us. | ||
But join me. | ||
And promising your whole heart to this effort. | ||
And where my heart will be. | ||
I promise I'll be the best volunteer Harrison Waltz has ever seen. | ||
Each of us has a part in the American story for me and my family. | ||
There's a song that means a lot to us, that captures the best of who we are as a nation. | ||
The song is called American Anthem. | ||
There's one verse that stands out, and I can't sing with a damn, so I'm not going to try. | ||
I'll just quote it. | ||
The work and prayers of centuries have brought us to this day. | ||
What shall our legacy be? | ||
What will our children say? | ||
Let me know in my heart when my days are through, America, America, I gave my best to you. | ||
unidentified
|
I've made, I've made a | |
I've made a lot of mistakes in my career, but I gave my best to you. | ||
For 50 years, like many of you, I've given my heart and soul to our nation, and I've been blessed a million times in return with the support of the American people. | ||
I've really been too young to be in the Senate because I wasn't 30 yet, and too old to stay as president. | ||
But I hope you know how grateful I am to all of you. | ||
I can honestly say, and I mean this from the bottom, give me my word as a Biden, I can honestly say I'm more optimistic about the future than I was when I was elected as a 29-year-old United States senator. | ||
I mean it. | ||
Folks, we just have to remember who we are. | ||
We're the United States of America! | ||
And there's nothing we cannot do when we do it together. | ||
God bless you all, and may God protect our troops. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, my gosh. | |
Okay. | ||
Oh, thank God. | ||
My ears are bleeding. | ||
Okay. | ||
Do you have to scream the entire time? | ||
He yelled, the meds are wearing off. | ||
It is 11. It is 12. 1220 Eastern Standard Time. | ||
This is, of course, where Joe Biden lives. | ||
They did this on purpose so that no one would watch. | ||
Think about this. | ||
Nobody stays up that way. | ||
I mean, we love you, right? | ||
Like, on the stream with us. | ||
But this is different. | ||
Like, they know that nobody's going to be watching. | ||
Like, the final insult to Joe Biden. | ||
1220 Eastern Standard Time. | ||
Nobody's sitting there with a TV tuned into the DNC convention. | ||
Look at this. | ||
Here we go. | ||
So Joe Biden repeats at least five hoaxes. | ||
The very fine people hoax, the suckers and losers hoax, the nationwide abortion ban lie, the bloodbath lie, and then obviously the January 6th lie. | ||
They are liars. | ||
Everything is built on a hoax. | ||
These are provable? | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, there's Hunter. | |
There's Hunter. | ||
There you go. | ||
Okay. | ||
And the best part is Nancy Pelosi sucking in her dentures and doing this half-assed cheer for Joe. | ||
unidentified
|
That was the greatest cutaway. | |
Do we have that, guys? | ||
unidentified
|
That was really good. | |
Oh, this is bad. | ||
Okay, so there's Joe. | ||
There's his family. | ||
Hunter makes it. | ||
unidentified
|
Everyone kiss on the lips? | |
They're all kissing on the lips. | ||
Yeah, they're all... | ||
They beat COVID. | ||
Here they all go kissing each other on the lips, taking showers together. | ||
Okay. | ||
Creepy, weird Biden family. | ||
Joe just screamed himself through an hour-long speech. | ||
Just screaming at the top of his lungs the entire time. | ||
Like, breathlessly rage screaming. | ||
A speech filled with bitterness, divisiveness, lies about Donald Trump, hoaxes, Kamala Harris grimacing as Joe talks about everything they've done together and how she's going to continue it. | ||
They know that's very, very bad. | ||
And an entire party cheering for the guy that they shivved and threw into the trash compactor in the dark of night. | ||
What kind of cognitive dissidents have you got to be to be a Democrat? | ||
15 million people voted for him in the primaries, and they just say, screw you, and throw him into the incinerator. | ||
What kind of a party can do something like this? | ||
And Joe admits, Joe admitted in the speech, it was just to try and save the House and the Senate. | ||
I don't think they even think Kamala can win. | ||
Joe admits the reason I did this was just pure, calculated political force. | ||
Joe with his goofy family, creepily grabbing Ashley. | ||
Everyone was kind of weird, pointing at the kid. | ||
Oh, come on, man. | ||
unidentified
|
The weird thing, too, that kid right there, Hunter's kid that he said for a while, oh, no, that's not my kid, but now, you know. | |
The unacknowledged grandchild? | ||
Yep. | ||
Not the same grandchild, but yes, Hunter does have other children with other women that he refuses to acknowledge. | ||
Navy Joan Roberts. | ||
unidentified
|
Too many to keep up, sorry. | |
Navy Joan Roberts in Arkansas is the non-acknowledged grandchild. | ||
And there he goes. | ||
And that's it, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
Final thoughts. | ||
unidentified
|
How is that a coincidence? | |
Two hours late? | ||
Like, oh, oops, sorry, Joe. | ||
Two hours late. | ||
I think he loaded up on ice cream, though. | ||
Yeah, yeah, I think he was loaded on something. | ||
Final thoughts? | ||
unidentified
|
One thing is, there was no policy in there about what Kamala's going to do. | |
Just what we've done, you know, hey, we're going to keep doing it over and over again. | ||
That's such a great point. | ||
unidentified
|
Best thing I love all about Kamala, how can you run a campaign and not say what you're going to do? | |
But she has 20 different pronouns to choose from. | ||
What are you guys talking about? | ||
KamalaHarris.com. | ||
Yeah, that's exactly right. | ||
The entire speech was about Donald Trump. | ||
The entire speech was about Donald Trump. | ||
unidentified

It really felt like it was like a college kid or like a high school kid. | |
He had a notebook paper and he's like, okay, I need to do 2,000 words. | ||
Donald Trump. | ||

Corn pop. | ||
A billion, billion, trillion. | ||
A billion, trillion, trillionaires. | ||

Add a load of folks. | |
Yep, I'm good. | ||
Probably, without question, the best was Nancy Pelosi. | ||
Pop it up. | ||

That was too good. | |

Okay. | ||
Pop it up. | ||
There's Nancy. | ||

No, no, no, boys. | ||
No, boys. | ||
This one. | ||
I'll do this one. | ||
Pop that one up. | ||
This is the best. | ||
This is the entire country, actually. | ||
This is the entire country. | ||
The one thing we all have in common. | ||
We're really, everyone's like really, really sick of this guy. | ||
This was Nancy Pelosi trying to mouth. | ||
Let's go, Joe. | ||
Let's go. | ||
unidentified

Let's go. | |
Yes. | ||
She's so excited. | ||
She's so excited to do it. | ||

That's an ad right there. | |
I could write it something. | ||
Yeah, that's exactly right. | ||

Trump camp, get on that. | |
Let Kamala talk about how high prices are these days. | ||
It's like, that's an ad. | ||
Just put Trump. | ||
Just put I'm Donald Trump and I approve this message. | ||
