So. | |
| My own narrative is not one of some sudden booming bolt of lightning out of the blue. | ||
| It was a slow and steady, unrelenting stream of blips and blinks, glimmers and glares, low beams and high beams of light, some of which I did not want to see. | ||
| And then finally, a point of no return reckoning. | ||
| Why are you called Mommy Malcolm? | ||
| I think it was because I fiercely came out during the Groeper Wars of 2019 when so many | ||
| of these brave young men were on college campuses challenging the likes of Zio Schill, Dan Crenshaw, | ||
| questioning him about his undying loyalty, and of course defending Nick Fuentes and so many of the | ||
| stars of the burgeoning America First movement who through an increasing amount of activism | ||
| are really going to ensure the future and the success of that movement. | ||
|

So, so, | |
| so, so, | ||
| so, Sorry to keep you waiting, complicated business. | ||
| the the | ||
| them the | ||
| yeah the | ||
| the the | ||
| the However, I can't stay by the side of my nose. | ||
| We will give a voice to all of the rightful frustrations that the Trump supporters have, whether they're willing to direct their anger at me or at the campaign, and I'll let them know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We love Trump. | |
| I love Trump. | ||
| We all love Trump. | ||
|

|
And if they don't make the course correction, then it's on them. | |
| Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you, the American people. | ||
| This election will determine whether we're a free nation or whether we have only the illusion of democracy, but are in fact controlled by a small handful of global special interests rigging the system, and our system is rigged. | ||
| This is not the Trump campaign from 2016. | ||
| It's worse. | ||
| I see this stuff and I have to wonder, why has nobody been fired? | ||
| This is not the Trump campaign from 2016. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's worse. | |
| I see this stuff and I have to wonder, why has nobody been fired? | ||
| Isn't that Trump's trademark? | ||
| That if results aren't happening that people are fired? | ||
| Isn't that the whole trademark? | ||
| Someone needs to be fired. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It happened back in 2016. | |
| He went through campaign managers and advisors all the time. | ||
| And it was good. | ||
| It kept things fresh. | ||
| It kept things competitive. | ||
| It was interesting. | ||
| Fire Chris LaCivita. | ||
| Fire Susie Wiles. | ||
| Get new campaign managers. | ||
| Fix this campaign before it's too late. | ||
| Before we blow it again. | ||
| We want Trump to win. | ||
| We want America first. | ||
| But you are letting us down. | ||
| You're blowing it. | ||
| This is the biggest missed opportunity in history. | ||
| You're blowing it for Trump. | ||
| You're blowing it for us. | ||
| And we're not going to let it happen. | ||
| You have alienated us. | ||
| You have ignored us. | ||
| You don't listen to our concerns we have been left behind. | ||
| The Trump movement and the GOP have moved on without us. | ||
| It serves Israel and corporations and immigrants, but it doesn't serve Native Americans. | ||
| What about Native Americans? | ||
| I don't want to hear any more about communism. | ||
| I don't want to hear any more about Vance. | ||
| I don't want to hear about whatever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And the message is simple. | |
| America first. | ||
| Native Americans. | ||
|
unidentified
|
America only. | |
| No Israel. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No corporations. | |
| No foreign influence. | ||
| No foreigners. | ||
| No immigrants. | ||
|
unidentified
|
None of that. | |
| Just America. | ||
|
unidentified
|
America first. | |
| And Christ the King. | ||
| So this is a call to all Christians, immigration restrictionists, foreign policy non-interventionists, trade protectionists, those in favor of industrial policy, patriots, nativists, nationalists, non-interventionists, traditionalists, that are not happy with the State of the Trump campaign, you are being recruited. | ||
| Trump is a peaceful man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're declaring war on the evil Trump campaign. | |
| He needs to be liberated. | ||
| We will liberate him. | ||
| We will make him independent from his donors. | ||
| We will make him independent from Silicon Valley. | ||
| We will make him independent from foreign influence. | ||
| Otherwise, and if we don't succeed, there's no hope. | ||
| You're done. | ||
| If we don't succeed, if this doesn't work, there's no hope. | ||
| You either get Kamala, and it's total left-wing oppression, it's total bullshit, BLM nonsense, or if you get Trump, it's gonna be total Zionist corporate domination. | ||
| So if we don't succeed, it's over. | ||
| You need to get involved in this, or, honestly, just quit. | ||
| In 2024, we are going to fight the hostile takeover. | ||
| It's a different battle. | ||
| But it's the same war. | ||
| We're going to fight and save Trump from his own people. | ||
|

|
The more that a broken system tells you that you're wrong, the more certain you should | |
| be that you must keep pushing ahead. | ||
| you Because it's the outsiders who change the world and who make a real and lasting difference. | ||
| Nothing worth doing ever came easy. | ||
| Treat the word impossible as nothing more than motivation. | ||
| The future belongs to the people who follow their heart no matter what the critics say. | ||
| We must always remember that we share one home and one glorious destiny. | ||
| We all bleed the same red blood of patriots. | ||
| We all salute the same great American flag. | ||
| Our best days are yet to come. | ||
| I am officially running for President of the United States. | ||
| We need a leader. | ||
| I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created. | ||
| It can be wonderful if you have smart people. | ||
| But we have people that are stupid. | ||
| The American dream is dead. | ||
| But if I get elected president, I will bring it back. | ||
| Bigger and better and stronger than ever before. | ||
| We want out! We want out! | ||
| The American dream. | ||
| And we will make America great again. | ||
| We will make America great again. | ||
| And we will make America great again. | ||
| We will make America great again. | ||
| We want out! We want out! | ||
| We want out! We want out! | ||
| And nobody builds walls better than me, believe me. | ||
| Bigger and better and stronger than ever before. | ||
| And we will make America great again. Thank you, thank you very much. | ||
| And we will make America great again. | ||
| We will make America great again. | ||
| And we will make America great again. | ||
| We want out! We want out! | ||

| They're the first, bitch. | ||

| I said, drink, fuck girls, lick your cover. My mama said, trust no hoes, use a rubber. My mama said, trust no hoes, | ||
| use a rubber. | ||
| Well, hey, thanks, love you too, but I'm sorry, I believe in a religion that makes sense, so... Napoleon, Alexander the Great, Donald Trump, were all cut from the same cloth, and that cloth is very, very large. | ||
| It's not too big, is it? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Yes, sir. | ||
| It's wrong, isn't it? | ||
| It feels so right. | ||
| It's a deal? | ||
| It's wrong, isn't it? | ||
| It feels so right. | ||
| It's a deal? | ||
| I put together some really impressive deals. | ||
| I like that. | ||
| Go big or go home. | ||
| Donald Trump. | ||
| You know, you're really beautiful. | ||
| A woman that looks like that has to have an official set. | ||
| Oh my God! | ||
| Hey, Donald. | ||
| Oh, it's beautiful. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Mmm. Mwah. Thank you. | ||
| Thank you very much. I'm delighted to serve. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| Just a moment. | ||
| Are you Megan here? | ||
| Huh? | ||
| Are you? | ||
| No, I'm just back from a competition. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| Look at this! Right here on this street, it's Donald Trump! | ||
| There you are. | ||
| Donald Trump! Donald Trump! Donald Trump! | ||
| Come on! It's here! | ||

| My new game is Trump. | ||
| The game. | ||
| Trump. | ||
| They're gay. | ||
| Bye! | ||
| This sounds like political presidential talk. | ||
| You said, though, that if you did run for president, you believe you'd win. | ||
| I like that. | ||
| I would say that I would have a hell of a chance of winning. | ||
| I've never gone into losing a heart. | ||
| I don't know how your audience feels, but I think people are tired of seeing the United States ripped off. | ||
| There's the guy. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you. | ||
| No, I wouldn't tell you. | ||
| Okay, kids, make it fast. I've got a plane to catch. | ||
| Can we create a magazine? Mr. Trump, we need you to look... | ||
| ...scary! | ||
| Excuse me, where's the lobby? | ||
| Down the hall. | ||
| Your male modeling would be what it is today. | ||
| Donald. | ||
| Yes, sir! | ||
| What's this about a plane for, the Dinocon? | ||
| You've got to be with somebody else. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| Dare I say it? | ||
| it. I am declaring a new Dreuper war against the Trump campaign until we can figure out | ||
| what the hell is going on. | ||
| Pray on our enemies when we die. We just hope the feds take a breath. Only one gonna walk away when we collide. | ||
| The end. | ||
| I am declaring a new Dreuper war against the Trump campaign until we can figure out what the hell is going on. We just | ||
| hope the feds take a breath. Only one gonna walk away when we collide. The end. | ||
| The end. | ||
| you And they've been... | ||
| If you put on notice, if you fuck around with us, if you do something bad to us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before. | ||
| Don't sit yet, get it like this. | ||
| Rusted, just ain't love, it's a waste. Rusted, everybody drives out. Rusted, rusted, I'm here, I'm on my way. Rusted, | ||
| I waste all my time, I waste. Rusted, just ain't love, it's a waste. Rusted, everybody drives out. Rusted, I'm here, I'm | ||
| on my way. Rusted, I waste all my time, I waste. | ||
| Socialists, globalists, Marxists, communists who are attacking our civilization have no idea of the sleeping | ||
| giant they have awoken. | ||
| They cannot even begin to imagine the brave and righteous spirit they've unleashed in men and women. | ||
| But they're going to find out the hard way. | ||
| They will find out like never before. | ||
| This nation belongs to you. | ||
| Belongs to you. | ||
| It's not up to you. | ||
| It was patriots like you that built this country. | ||
| And it's patriots like you that are going to save our country. | ||
| To all of those who think that they can coerce and subjugate the citizens of this land, hear these words. | ||
| For me tonight, the people of America will not surrender our borders. | ||
| We will not surrender our culture. | ||
| We will not surrender our faith. | ||
| We will not surrender our values. | ||
| We will not surrender our history. | ||
| We will not surrender our liberty. | ||
| And above all, we will not surrender our children. | ||
| We are done with their distorted visions for America. | ||
| It's time to start talking about greatness for our country again. | ||
| We want our country to be great again. | ||
| We want our country to be respected. | ||
| I don't want to see any love in the West. | ||
| West! | ||
| I don't need your salvation. | ||
| West! | ||
| I don't want to die without a kiss. | ||
| West! | ||
| I don't need no one to die for. | ||
| West! | ||
| The time for action has come. | ||
| As long as we are led by politicians who will not put America first, | ||
| then we can be assured that other nations will not treat America with respect, | ||
| the respect that we deserve. | ||
| And that's what we're here to do. | ||
| Chris Lassavita. | ||
| Senior advisors Chris Lassavita and Susie Wiles should be terminated immediately. | ||
|

|
Oh, I'm sorry. | |
| Uh, let me ask you about Project 2025. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Um... Never heard of it. | |
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're a pain in the ass. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| By nature, political consultants, we want to control everything. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We just, we want to, we want to control everything, including the candidate. | ||
| Yeah. Where is our bulldog from 2016? | ||
| you These interests have rigged our political and economic system for their exclusive benefit, because they have total control. | ||
| They pull the strings. | ||
| My message is that things have to change, and they have to change right now. | ||
| If you miss this version of Trump, you have his campaign managers Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles to blame. | ||
| La Civita was found liking posts on Twitter advocating for the 25th Amendment to be invoked and to remove Trump from office on January 6th. | ||
| And Wiles wants Trump to abandon his loyal base in order to pander to minorities who won't turn out to vote for him regardless. | ||
| Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles are responsible for Trump's drastic change in rhetoric and his failure in the polls. | ||
| If you want Trump to win, he must fire these disloyal saboteurs. | ||
| Use the hashtags firelessavida and firewiles to save Trump from these swamp creatures. | ||
| . | ||
| you you | ||
| I don't want to. | ||
| I don't want to. | ||

| Trump just got shot in the ear and you are losing to a cackling, thugly woman who speaks in ebonics when she is around minorities. | ||
| Yo, yo, Donald Trump, how pathetic can you be? | ||
| You fired people for a living and now you sound like a You used to be the mean God and now you sound like a bitch. | ||
| You are losing this campaign because you staffed it with a bunch of gays. | ||
| Who the hell is running your shit? | ||
| Whoever it is needs to be fired on national TV. | ||
| You look like a straight up bitch and you are not going to win if you don't fire people in front of the entire world. | ||
| You are going to be sent to prison, you dumbass. | ||
| Don't you understand? | ||
| Letting Indian women cast spells on the entire party and blaspheme our lord? | ||
| Bro, Trump, you better get it right. | ||
| All these coconuts are going to be placed on your forehead at night like a sweaty, salty grape or ball sack. | ||
| Do you smell that? | ||
| It is the smell of curry and coconuts. | ||
| Yeah, that's the smell of your defeat. | ||
| You will forever be known as the loser that lost to an ADIQ Indian woman. | ||
| Your entire legacy will go down the toilet if you do not fire your campaign staffers on national television. | ||
| Jamie Vance, what kind of decision was that? | ||
| Fire his ass! | ||
| What the hell are you thinking? | ||
| Coconuts, Donald! | ||
| You are going to be force-fed curry and coconuts in prison if you don't fire all of your campaign staffers because you are losing this election. | ||
| You need to get it right. | ||

| ass. | ||
| Who the hell is running your campaign, Donald? | ||
| Did you change your mind on DEA? | ||
| You would have better luck hiring a random guy from one of your rallies At least you know that he would rather die and see you look like shit on national television Right now your campaign staffers are intentionally making you look like shit And when you lose, America's gonna smell like curry and coconuts and you will be in prison But hey, maybe they'll send you to Guantanamo You will never have to deal with the country that you let | ||
| go to shit, but we will, so what the fuck dude? | ||
| We have to live in this shithole after you lose, so how about you fire these idiots and | ||
| hire us, you've got nothing to lose, except your freedom and your empire and your family | ||
| and your legacies. | ||
| Yeah, you have a lot to lose, idiots, so fire their asses and heart the fuck up, dude. | ||
| Dude. | ||
| Gripe Reward 2, Gripe Reward 2, your campaign sucks, yeah, we're coming for you. | ||
| Gripe Reward 2, Gripe Reward 2, your campaign sucks, yeah, we're coming for you. | ||

| Let them say that and let them fix it! | ||
| If the Trump campaign can't win over the loyalists from 2016, if that's the case, we know that Trump is not in control. | ||
| If Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita, two never-Trumpers, two election fraud deniers, if they're really in control, if that's who's running it, if we don't get anything out of this campaign, then it should lose. | ||
| They hate when people play politics, but we have to play politics. | ||
| They want us to just shut up and vote. | ||
| Yeah, shutting up and voting for the GOP, not really working out. | ||

| I see this stuff and I have to wonder, why has nobody been fired? | ||
| Isn't that Trump's trademark? | ||
| That if results aren't happening that people are, you're fired? | ||
| Isn't that the whole trademark? | ||
| Someone needs to be fired. | ||
| It happened back in 2016. | ||

| If we don't succeed, if this doesn't work, there's no hope. | ||
| You either get Kamala, and it's total left-wing oppression, it's total bullshit, BLM nonsense, or if you get Trump, it's gonna be total Zionist corporate domination. | ||
| So if we don't succeed, it's over. | ||
| You need to get involved in this, or, honestly, just quit. | ||
| In 2024, we are going to fight the hostile takeover. | ||
| It's a different battle. | ||
| But it's the same war. | ||
| We're going to fight and save Trump from his own people. | ||

The End. | |
| Thanks for watching! | ||
| Thanks for watching! | ||
| So God gave us Trump. | ||
| God said, I need somebody willing to get up before dawn, fix this country, work all day, fight the Marxists, eat supper, then go to the Oval Office and stay past midnight at a meeting of the heads of state. | ||
| So God made Trump. | ||
| I need somebody with arms, strong enough to rustle the deep state, and yet gentle enough to deliver his own grandchild. | ||
| Somebody to ruffle the feathers. | ||
| Tame Cantankerous World Economic Forum. | ||
| Come home hungry. | ||
| Have to wait until the First Lady is done with lunch with friends. | ||
| Then tell the ladies to be sure and come back real soon. | ||
| And mean it. | ||
| So God gave us Trump. | ||
| I need somebody who can shape an axe, but wield a sword. | ||
| Who had the courage to step foot in North Korea. | ||
| Who can make money from the tar of the sand. | ||
| Turn liquid to gold. | ||
| Who understands the difference between tariffs and inflation, will finish his 40-hour week by Tuesday noon, but then put in another 72 hours. | ||
| So God made Trump. | ||
| God had to have somebody willing to go into the den of vipers, call out the fake news for their tongues as sharp as a serpent's. | ||
| The poison of vipers is on their lips, and yet stop. | ||
| So God made Trump. | ||
| God said, I need somebody who will be strong and courageous. | ||
| Who will not be afraid or terrified of the wolves when they attack. | ||
| A man who cares for the flock. | ||
| A shepherd to mankind who won't ever leave nor forsake them. | ||
| I need the most diligent worker to follow the path and remain strong in faith. | ||
| And know the belief of God and country. | ||
| Somebody who's willing to drill, Bring back manufacturing and American jobs. | ||
| Farm the lands. | ||
| Secure our borders. | ||
| Build our military. | ||
| Fight the system all day. | ||
| And finish a hard week's work by attending church on Sunday. | ||
| And then his oldest son turns and says, Dad, let's make America great again. | ||
| Dad, let's build back a country to be the envy of the world again. | ||
| So God made Trump. | ||

| I'm out. | ||
| My own narrative is not one of some sudden, glooming bolt of lightning out of the blue. | ||
| It was a slow and steady, unrelenting stream of blips and blinks, glimmers and glares, low beams and high beams of light, some of which I did not want to see. | ||
| And then finally, a point of no return reckoning. | ||
| Why are you called Mommy Malcolm? | ||
| I think it was because I fiercely came out during the Group Wars of 2019 when so many of these brave young men | ||

| America First! | ||
| Hey, good evening. | ||
| You're watching America First. | ||
| We have to skip right into it because we're missing the Gaza hostages. | ||
| So we're just right into it. | ||
| Eight American citizens. | ||
| One of those Americans is our only son. | ||
| His name is Hirsch. | ||
| He's 23 years old. | ||
| And like Vice President Kamala Harris, Hirsch was born in Oakland, California. | ||
| Hirsch is a happy-go-lucky, laid-back, good-humored, respectful, and curious person. | ||
| He is a civilian. | ||
| He loves soccer, is wild about music and music festivals, and he has been obsessed with geography and travel since he was a little boy. | ||
| His bedroom overflows with atlases, globes, maps, and National Geographic magazines. | ||
| On October 7th, Hirsch and his best friend, Honor, went to a music festival in the south of Israel. | ||
| It was advertised as celebrating peace, love, and unity. | ||
| They also went to celebrate Hirsch's 23rd birthday. | ||
| As rockets began to fall, Hirsch, Aner, and 27 other young festival goers took refuge in a 5 foot by 8 foot bomb shelter. | ||
| Terrorists began to throw grenades into the shelter. | ||
| Aner stood in the doorway and repelled 7 of those grenades before the 8th one killed him. | ||
| That's terrible. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Altogether at the Nova Music Festival, 367 young music lovers were killed. | |
| This was just one of the many attacks on neighborhoods and communities in southern Israel on that terrible day. | ||
| In total, 1,200 were killed, including 45 Americans. | ||
| Hirsch's left forearm, his dominant arm, was blown off before he was loaded onto a pickup | ||
| truck and stolen from his life and me and John into Gaza. | ||
| And that was 320 days ago. | ||
| Since then, we live on another planet. | ||
| Anyone who is a parent or has had a parent can try to imagine the anguish and misery that John and I and all the hostage families are enduring. | ||
| Rachel and I are comforted to be back in our sweet home, Chicago. | ||
| We were both born and raised here, and our families still live here. | ||
| This is a political convention. | ||
| But needing our only son and all of the cherished hostages home is not a political issue. | ||
| I'm gonna need this. | ||
| is a humanitarian issue. | ||
| The families. | ||
| The families of the American aid hostages meet every week. | ||
| I don't know if you can hear this. | ||
| We're heartened that both Democratic and Republican leaders | ||
| demonstrate their bipartisan support for our hostages being released. | ||
| We've met with President Biden and Vice President Harris numerous times at the White House. | ||
| They're both working tirelessly for a hostage and ceasefire deal that will bring our precious children I don't know what that... I wasn't playing a game. | ||
| That was just a glitch. | ||
| That was an audio glitch. | ||
| I wasn't even playing a game or anything. | ||
| That was just some weird technical issue. | ||
| issue. | ||
| And will stop the despair in Gaza. | ||
| We are all deeply grateful to them. | ||
| We're also profoundly thankful to you, the millions of people in the United States and | ||
| all over the world who have been sending love, support and strength to the hostage families. | ||
| You've kept us breathing in a world without air. | ||
| There is a surplus of agony on all sides of the tragic conflict in the Middle East. | ||
| In a competition of pain, there are no winners. | ||
| In our Jewish tradition, we say, Kol Adom Olam Umlo-O. | ||

In an inflamed Middle East, we know the one thing that can most immediately release pressure and bring calm to the entire region. | |

|
Here's Cory Booker. | |
| That ain't gonna happen. But I'll tell you what. I want to wall to street in New Jersey called Martin Luther King | ||
| Boulevard. | ||
| On that street was this incredible housing project called Brick Towers. | ||
| We never mistake wealth with worth. | ||
| In those towers was a tenant president named Miss Virginia Jones. | ||
| Her son was murdered in the 1980s in the lobby of one of those buildings. | ||
| But she was a woman of invincible joy. | ||
| And I'll tell you this, I used to ask her, how are you so joyful? | ||
| And she would always tell me, as a church woman, she'd say, the joy I have, the world didn't give it to me. | ||
| Come on now. | ||
| Come on now. | ||
| She taught me that you've got to generate the joy, that hope is the active conviction, that despair will never have the last word. | ||
| And so tonight, there are so many challenges in our nation. | ||
| There are so many problems that we're facing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Heck, if America hasn't broken your heart, You don't love her enough. | |
| But yet, we will be joyful warriors. | ||
| We are going to bring back to the journey of our nation, joy. | ||
| And if there's any tradition in America that has helped us to generate that joy, it has been the folks of America. | ||
| It has been those folks bringing the rock and roll and the funk. | ||
| Bringing the gospel and the hard rock. | ||
| I'd put, like, a gun in, like, a pot of flowers and be like, this is really deep. | ||
| And they'll call it, like, the irrepressible joy of Virginia Turner. | ||
| You know, that kind of shit. | ||
| You know what I'm talking about? | ||

| King Classic, the thrill is gone. I want you all to know tonight is about joy, about | ||
| American history, our common history, is a testimony to taking on the insurmountable and achieving the impossible. | ||
| That should bring us joy. | ||
| Our progress never ever came easy. | ||
| But in America, we do hard things. | ||
| We built labor unions and small businesses. | ||
| We created great public education and world-changing innovation. | ||
| This is so sad. | ||
| We nurtured the best athletes and artists humanity has ever seen, and we kept the promise of Medicare and Social Security for our seniors. | ||
| Look at who we are! | ||
| Against bigotry and hate! | ||

We advance equal rights for all Americans! | |

| Reproductive rights! | ||

| We did this by healing rifts, by bridging divides, by pulling people together. | ||
| And all the while, we in this nation lived up to our calling and our creed to be a more perfect union, to make this one nation under God, A little more indivisible. | ||
| Now you all know this. | ||
| Trump betrays these ideals. | ||
| He viciously attacks Democrats and Republicans. | ||

| John McCain's military service. | ||
| Nikki Haley's heritage. | ||

| Well, we know that the power of the people is greater than the people in power. | ||

| We're not going to lose our faith. | ||
| Look, I want everybody in here to let us all say it together. | ||
| I believe in America. | ||
| Let me hear you. | ||
| I believe in America. | ||
| I believe in America because our elders told us that no matter what the obstacle, like the gospel says, we shall overcome. | ||
| I believe in America because our soldiers died on beaches and battlefields. | ||
| They died at sea and in the air so that we could be free today and say together, I believe in America. | ||
| I believe in America because our fighters fought at Stonewall. | ||
| marchers march ah Selma delegates met at Seneca Falls every single one of them | ||
| believed in America even when that's crazy believe in them say it with me now | ||
| I believe in America. | ||
| Because King dared to dream the impossible dream. | ||

| Ladies and gentlemen, Veronica Escobar. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| You Thank you. | ||
| Buenas noches. | ||
| Like countless Texans, I grew up going back and forth across the border from El Paso to Ciudad Juarez. | ||
| My family would shop, have dinner, go to the doctor, pick up medicines. | ||
| The border is my beloved home, the place where my children grew up. | ||
| Forget what you hear on the news. | ||
| I'm from there. | ||
| When it comes to the border, hear me when I say, you know nothing, Donald Trump. | ||
| He and his Republican imitators see the border and immigration as a political opportunity to exploit instead of an issue to address. | ||
| Congress hasn't passed comprehensive immigration reform in nearly four decades. | ||
| The three times they tried, Republicans blocked legislation that would have funded border security and created a more humane immigration system. | ||
| They are not serious people. | ||
| You know who is serious? | ||
| Kamala Harris. | ||
| That's ridiculous. | ||
| When she visited El Paso, I saw firsthand how she engaged with law enforcement, migrants, and human rights advocates. | ||
| She was curious. | ||
| She asked questions. | ||
| She listened. | ||
| And she didn't care if the cameras were on. | ||
| Most of all, she recognized that the situation at the border is complicated. | ||
| As filled with opportunities as it is with challenges. | ||
| All Republicans have to offer is demonization and bluster. | ||
| Democrats have solutions. | ||
| With Kamala Harris as president, we can live up to the promise of America. | ||
| We can strengthen legal pathways to immigration. | ||
| We can secure our borders and we can treat with dignity those who seek a better future within them. | ||
| How is that any different than what Trump said? | ||
| Nice. | ||
| I have a question for you. | ||
| Who really wants a solution at our border? | ||
| Our administration worked on the most significant border security bill in decades. | ||
| Some of the most conservative Republicans in Washington, D.C. | ||
| supported the bill. | ||
| Even the Border Patrol endorsed it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And that bill included thousands of new border agents and personnel, new technology they can detect and stop fentanyl, more judges, and faster asylum processing. | |
| For the first time in decades, a chance at a real bipartisan solution. | ||
| But at the last minute, Trump directed his allies in the Senate to vote it down. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're blaming it on me. | |
| I said, that's okay. | ||
| Please blame it on me. | ||
| Please. | ||
| He tanked, tanked the bipartisan deal because he thought it would help him win an election. | ||
| Which goes to show Donald Trump does not care about border security. | ||
| He only cares about himself. | ||
| The real difference is... I was the Attorney General of a border state. | ||
| In that job, I walked underground tunnels between the United States and Mexico on that border with law enforcement officers. | ||
| I went after transnational gangs, drug cartels, and human traffickers that came into our country illegally. | ||
| I prosecuted them, in case after case, and I won. | ||
| So here is my pledge to you. | ||
| As president, I will bring back the border security bill that Donald Trump killed, | ||
| and I will sign it into law and show Donald Trump what real leadership looks like. | ||
| That's crazy how that's what they're running with. | ||
| Like, the border has been worse in the past four years, literally, than ever. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And they keep bringing up this bill, this bill. | |
| It was not even a border security bill. | ||
| You know, but that was, I think, the gambit from the beginning. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, I just want to let you know I want to let you know that everything that you just saw in that video, that's exactly what happened. | |
| I know because I was the Democratic Senator who negotiated that bill to secure the border with President Biden and Vice President Harris. | ||
| I want to tell you this as well. | ||
| Donald Trump's allies weren't just in the room. | ||
| They helped us write the whole bill. | ||
| It was a bipartisan bill. | ||
| It was a tough bill. | ||
| $20 billion in new border security gave the president the emergency power to shut down the border made compassionate but serious reforms to our asylum system. | ||
| One Republican said it would have had almost unanimous support if it weren't for Donald Trump. | ||
| Trump killed that bill and he did it because he knew that if we fixed the border he'd lose his ability to divide us | ||
| his ability to fan the flames of fear about people who come from different places | ||
| right, you guys know this, right? | ||
| hate and division that's Trump's oxygen | ||
| right, people like Trump and Jamie Vance they need it | ||
| This is literally the party for retards. | ||
| What you understand from watching the DNC is that the only people that could possibly eat this up are women and idiots. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Women and low IQ, ethnic groups, gay men, very feminine men. | |
| That's who this appeals to. | ||
| Nobody else. | ||
| Because the whole convention is... That's not who we are! | ||
| Compassion and empathy! | ||
| Don't rape anyone! | ||
| Don't rape! | ||
| Trump says that a safe nation can't be an immigrant nation. | ||
| It's horrible. | ||
| That's flat wrong. | ||
| And Kamala Harris knows it. | ||
| She knows this too. | ||
| That's sick. | ||
| on the Statue of Liberty is a poem. | ||
| That's sick. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The last line reads, I lift my lamp beside the golden door. | |
| For generations, that lamp has called people to start a brave new life in America. | ||
| My ancestors, your ancestors, and the parents of the next president of the United States of America. | ||
| That's all these PMC faggots. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Kamala Harris knows that we can be a nation of proud immigrants | |
| and a nation of strong immigration laws. | ||
| It's like, who buys Obama's memoir? | ||
| Like, show me the type of person that buys Obama's memoir and reads it and says, that was a good book. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because whoever does that is a fucking idiot. | |
| But that's who's running the country. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's horrible. | |
| willy that's horrible to do the worthy redeeming work of making our country better. I miss the old days. | ||
| Recognizing that we do not have to choose between celebrating our heritage and enforcing our laws | ||
| right the beautiful the beautiful thing about America is that we can be both we can be a nation | ||
| of immigrants who love their country and a nation with a secure border. | ||
| And there is only one candidate, there is only one candidate who can deliver that vision of America, and it's Kamala Harris. | ||
| Thank you very much, Democrats. | ||
| Please welcome Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| On the other side of the border, the traffickers, they pack migrants into 18-wheelers like cattle. | ||
| 50, 100 at a time. | ||
| Then they seal the doors. | ||
| That's when the 911 calls come. | ||
| We hear them. | ||
| Desperate. | ||
| Terrified. | ||
| Gasping for air. | ||
| Now sometimes we get there in time. | ||
| Sometimes, despite our best efforts, we can't. | ||
| When Donald Trump comes down to Texas, stands next to officers in uniforms just like mine, he's not there to help us. | ||
| Don't think that. | ||
| Not for a second. | ||
| He is a self-serving man. | ||
| I mean, look, just like when he killed the border bill. | ||
| He just made our jobs harder. | ||
| Bye. | ||
| Now, Kamala, on the other hand, has been fighting border crime for years. | ||
| She's gone down to Mexico and worked to stop the traffickers. | ||
| And when the traffickers didn't stop, she put them in jail. | ||
| Now, down in my neck of the woods, we call that fooling around and finding out. | ||
| I may be paraphrasing a bit. | ||
| We protect and serve. | ||
| Now, the border sheriffs that I know, right, and I, we're like Kamala. | ||
| We protect and serve. | ||
| We enforce the law. | ||
| We show compassion. | ||
| And we fight like hell to protect our border. | ||
| It's totally shameless. | ||
| This deception is absolutely shameless and ridiculous. | ||
| Ten million illegals in four years and they're going to bring out a border guard. | ||
| We fight to secure the border. | ||
| And by the way, they dismantled the architecture that Trump built through executive action. | ||
| Remain in Mexico. | ||
| Ending catch and release. | ||

They stopped construction of the border wall. | |
| I'm Pete Aguilar, chair of the Democratic Caucus. | ||
| For generations, my family has called California home. | ||
| I grew up in San Bernardino, a working class community defined by family, faith, and hard work. | ||
| These values, shared by Latino families across this country, are what made my family's American Dream possible. | ||
| And only Kamala Harris and Tim Walz will protect the American Dream so that every family can earn a living, own a home, and reach their full potential. | ||
| This is a vision for America that Donald Trump will never understand. | ||
| All he knows is chaos and division. | ||
| He talks about tearing American families apart, pitting neighbor against neighbor, community against community. | ||
| Compare that to what Kamala Harris has done as vice president. | ||
| Almost half a million people who live here and are married to a U.S. | ||
| citizen can now apply for lawful permanent residence. | ||
| DACA recipients who graduated college have easier access to work visas. | ||
| And we would have much more security at the border if Donald Trump hadn't tanked the bipartisan bill. | ||
| Such a lie. | ||
| Such a brazen lie. | ||
| We don't have to choose between a secure border and building an America for all. | ||
| Under President Harris, we can and will do both. | ||
| As a prosecutor, she took on transnational gangs and cartels. | ||
| As president, she will fight for pathways to citizenship. | ||
| and I can tell you, as the highest ranking Latino in Congress, our community understands | ||
| the stakes in this election because we believe in the promise of this country. | ||
| We believe our nation is stronger when we keep families together. | ||
| We believe our union is more perfect when dreamers become doctors, teachers, | ||
| Construction workers. Is there a lot of that? | ||
| and military service members. Latinos believe in that American dream and a | ||
| brighter future. One where we secure our border, fix our broken immigration system, | ||
| and unlock economic opportunity for all. And together we will win. Thank you. | ||
| I'm a Filipino Japanese DACA recipient. | ||
| I am a third-year medical student and I am a DACA recipient. | ||
| Thanks to DACA, I've been able to open up my own business and represent clients as a lawyer. | ||
| So many of my dreams came a little bit closer. | ||
| It is disheartening to know that the court system may end DACA next year. | ||
| and to also hear Donald Trump calling for mass deportations. | ||
| It is time that we recognize DREAMers for who they are. | ||
| We are contributors to this great nation. | ||
| I support Vice President Harris, who has continued to fight for DACA recipients. | ||
| She was the one who stood with us, who sat with us, who heard our stories. | ||
| We need a future President Harris to ensure that DREAMers like me | ||
| can continue to work and provide for ourselves, our communities, and our families. | ||
| Gotta go back. | ||

| And if two decades ago, when my parents immigrated to College Station, Texas, You told them that one day their son would reach 14 million followers on social media, graduate law school, and speak at the Democratic National Convention? | ||
| They might not believe you! | ||
| But this is the United States of America, the land of opportunities where anything is possible. | ||
| Okay, he got a big social media, spoke at a convention. | ||
| Yeah, big shot. | ||
| At least if you're like a senator, it's like, okay. | ||
| You know, my dad picked cotton, now I'm a senator. | ||
| who like my parents came to America to fulfill the dreams and ambitions that in | ||
| their home countries were impossible. At least if you're like a senator it's like | ||
| okay, you know, my dad Kid Cotton now I'm a senator but it's like my parents are | ||
| immigrants now I'm a tiktoker. Only in America! | ||
| I think he could have done that in Mexico too. | ||
| Who even is this guy? | ||
| Trump wants you to believe are poisoning the blood of our country. | ||
| True though. | ||
| This is dangerous and it is outright anti-American. | ||
| Because as Ronald Reagan once said, Ronald Reagan a Republican once said, we lead the | ||
| world because unique among nations we draw our people, our strength from every country | ||
| and every corner of the world. | ||
| Reagan knew. | ||
| Reagan knew that welcoming immigrants is not a Democratic or a Republican value. | ||
| It is an American value! | ||
| Yeah, there's your Reagan, by the way. | ||
| Dude, it's literally the RNC! | ||
| Ronald Reagan! | ||
| Trump's a communist! | ||

| Thank you. | ||
| Four years ago, I resigned from the Trump administration. | ||
| What a bitch. | ||
| As a Republican who dreamed of working in the White House, it was a hard decision. | ||
| But as an American, it was the right one. | ||
| I saw how Donald Trump undermined our intelligence community, our military leaders, and ultimately our democratic process. | ||
| Now, he's doing it again. | ||
| Lying and laying the groundwork to undermine this election. | ||
| It's his M.O. | ||
| What a nasty woman. | ||
| Remember when Trump said that? | ||
| That was so awesome. | ||
| What a nasty woman he goes. | ||
| And they all tried to own it. | ||
| That was so awesome. | ||
| What a nasty woman. | ||
|
unidentified

And they all tried to own it, they're like, I'm a nasty woman. So good. | |
| Every guy was like, yup. | ||
| And women were like, I'm a bitch too. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm kind of a bitch. | |
| Every guy was like, yup. | ||
|

Cause you'd be in jail. | |
| My trip to the White House was terrifying. | ||
| But what keeps me up at night is what will happen if he gets back there. | ||
| Because you'd be in jail. | ||
|

The guardrails are gone. | |
| The few adults in the room the first time resigned or were fired. | ||
| Good. | ||
| As they should have been. | ||
| I grew up in the kind of working family that Trump pretends to care about. | ||
| Conservative. | ||

| July 4th was our most sacred holiday. | ||
| Okay, that's heretical. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Those values made me a Republican. | |
| Easter's the most sacred holiday, frumpy bitch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And they're the same values that make me proud to support Kamala Harris. | |
| Not because we agree on every issue, but because we agree on the most important issue, protecting | ||
| our freedom. | ||
| So to my fellow Republicans, if you aren't voting for a Democrat, | ||
| you. | ||
| You're voting for democracy. | ||
| Oh please. | ||
| You aren't betraying our party. | ||
| You're standing up for our country. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Please welcome former Georgia Lieutenant Governor Jeff Duncan. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Good evening. | ||
| Good evening. | ||
| I bring greetings from the great state of Georgia. | ||
| So let's get the hard part out of the way. | ||
| I am a Republican. | ||
| But tonight, I stand here as an American. | ||
| Tonight's like Republican night, huh? | ||
|
unidentified
|
An American that cares more about the future of this country than the future of Donald Trump. | |
| My journey started to this podium years ago when I realized Donald Trump was willing to lie, | ||
| cheat, and steal to try to overturn the 2020 election. | ||
| What a disgusting traitor. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I realized Trump was a direct threat to democracy. | |
| And his actions disqualified him from ever, ever, ever stepping foot into the Oval Office again. | ||
| I could spend my time revving up this crowd, but I'm certain I don't have to talk anybody | ||
| out of voting for Donald Trump here. | ||
| So I'm going to focus my attention on the millions of Republicans and Independents that are at home | ||
| that are sick and tired of making excuses for Donald Trump. | ||
| If Republicans are being intellectually honest with ourselves, | ||
| our party is not civil or conservative. | ||
| It's chaotic and crazy. | ||
| and the only thing left to do is dump Trump. | ||
| These days our party acts more like a cult. | ||
| A cult worshiping a felonist thug. | ||
| Look, you don't have to agree with every policy position of Kamala Harris. | ||
| I don't. | ||
| But you do have to recognize her prosecutor mindset that understands right from wrong, good from evil. | ||
| She's a steady hand. | ||
| They're for abortion. | ||
| The whole thing's about abortion. | ||
| Yeah, you may not be a Democrat, but she knows good and evil. | ||
| Yeah, it's the pro-abortion, pro-degenerate, pro-pedophile convention. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, they got their finger on the pulse because of classified documents. | |
| Yeah, they may support murdering babies and sodomy, but at least they don't have classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. | ||

In our family, my wife Brooke and I are raising three boys and we have a family motto. | |
| And it says, doing the right thing will never be the wrong thing. | ||
| During 2020, during just the lowest of lows, when we had armed officers outside our house protecting us from other Republicans, Donald Trump had targeted us. | ||
| My son came downstairs. | ||
| And he handed me this coaster that I'd given him years before at a father-son retreat for our church. | ||
| And he said, hey dad, doing the right thing will never be the wrong thing. | ||
| Stay strong. | ||
| To my fellow Republicans at home that want to pivot back towards policy, empathy, and | ||
| tone, you know the right thing to do. | ||
| Now let's have the courage to do it in November. | ||
| It's really touching, faggot. | ||
| My son made this! | ||
| this. | ||
| My son made this at camp! | ||
| Isn't it sweet? | ||
| Pussy. | ||
| We will never give up. | ||
| We will never concede. | ||
| It doesn't happen. | ||
| You don't concede when you're stepped to go. | ||
| And after this, we're going to walk down and I'll be there with you. | ||
| We're going to walk down to the Capitol. | ||
| Because you'll never take back our country. | ||
| I was there. | ||
| You have to show strength and you have to be strong. | ||
| It does look like we're going to have an ad hoc march stepping off here. | ||
| There's a crowd surge heading east. | ||
| Mike Pence, I hope you're going to stand up for the good of our Constitution and for the good of our country. | ||
| If only, right? | ||
| And if you're not, I'm going to be very disappointed in you. | ||
| I will tell you right now. | ||
| W. We're going to get right out in front of you. | ||
| Am I gonna make a cameo in this? | ||
| So awesome. | ||
| We have a breach of the Capitol! | ||
| hour is declaring it a riot. | ||
| I'm just going to be advised. | ||
| They're trying to breach and get to the Capitol. | ||
| So awesome. | ||
| We have a breach of the Capitol breach of the Capitol | ||
| for the upper level. | ||
| My kids didn't have the courage to do what should have been done | ||
| to protect our country and our Constitution. | ||
| Bring out the. | ||
| Man. | ||
| What an awesome day. | ||
| We can't hold this, we're gonna get too many f***ing people. | ||
| Look at this band of boys, man, we're f***ed. | ||
| We're trying to hold the upper bench! | ||
| We're trying to have the upper bench down! | ||
| I can tell you all the house members, Yeah, look at him. | ||
| Look at them scurry. | ||
| We've lost the line! | ||
| We've lost the line! | ||
| IMPD, pull back! | ||
| So for when I leave, we need to do it now. | ||
| We've lost the line. | ||
| We've lost the line. | ||

| Copy. | ||
| Get him up! | ||
| Oh my god! | ||
| Get him up! | ||
| And if I win, I will be looking very, very strongly about pardons. | ||
| And I mean full pardons with an apology, just to many, an apology. | ||
| Man. | ||
| They were peaceful people. | ||
| Conspiracy this, conspiracy that. | ||
| was unbelievable and I mentioned the word love, the love, the love in the air, I've never seen anything like it. | ||
| USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! | ||
| Yeah, those are all fake crimes. | ||
| Conspiracy this, conspiracy that, that's a fake charge. | ||
| They couldn't charge them with insurrection because there wasn't one, so they had to come out, oh it's a conspiracy. | ||
| Crowd chanting. | ||
| Please welcome Mississippi Representative Benny Thompson. | ||
| That's what you charge somebody with when there's no crime. | ||
| That was awesome though. | ||
| And we'll see you next time. | ||
| After all the bullshit they put us through. | ||
| On January 6th, like most of my colleagues, I had one goal. | ||
| To uphold the votes of the American people. | ||
| The cornerstone of our American democracy. | ||
| But as what you just witnessed, let me remind you that the members of that violent mob had another goal. | ||
| They wanted to stop the peaceful transfer of power for the first time in American democracy. | ||
| Thank God they failed. | ||
| Because in this country, we sell our differences at the ballot box, not through ballots. | ||
| It took a long time to get here. | ||
| And we are not going back. | ||
| Because I remember that dark history. | ||
| It's my own history. | ||
| In this life, my father never cast a vote because of Jim Crow. | ||
| So I dedicated my career to protecting the votes against violence and discrimination. | ||
| You can imagine what I felt on January 6. | ||
| When I saw with my own eyes those insurrectionists trying to take that away. | ||
| They did it to rob millions of Americans of their votes. | ||
| They did it because Donald Trump... That was racist. | ||
| Now it's racist. | ||
| ...couldn't help losing. | ||
| I never heard that one before. | ||
| He called his conspiracy-led mob to Washington. | ||
| He would rather subvert democracy than submit to it. | ||
| Now he's plotting again. | ||
| His campaign proclaims that elections won't end until the moment of inauguration. | ||
| Hell yeah. | ||
| We will win or it was rigged. | ||
| We win or else. | ||
| This is Donald Trump's America. | ||
| Elections are about choice. | ||
| Choose democracy, not political violence. | ||
| Choose the America we always taught our children to love. | ||
| Choose Kamala Harris. | ||
| Please welcome former United States Capitol Police Sergeant Aquilino Ganel. | ||
| Thank you. | ||

They're still just running on Trump. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| Before I begin... | ||
| It's just like, save us from Trump! | ||
| Can't even speak English. | ||
| My name is Aquilino Gonel. | ||
| I immigrated to the U.S. | ||
| from Trump. I acknowledge the sacrifices of the five officers who died as a result of January 6th. | ||
| Can't even speak English. | ||
| On that day. | ||
| My name is Aquilino Gonel. I immigrated to the U.S. from the Dominican Republic when I was 12. | ||
| I became an American citizen. | ||
| I was a sergeant in the U.S. | ||
| Army and a Capitol Police officer. | ||
| I have seen violence while serving in Iraq. | ||
| But nothing, nothing prepared me for January 6th. | ||
| We officers risked everything to protect innocent people. | ||
| We were beaten and blinded. | ||
| I was assaulted with a pole attached to the American flag. | ||
| President Trump summoned our attackers and sided with them. | ||
| He betrayed us. | ||
| When I joined the Army and Capitol Police, I took an oath to defend the Constitution. | ||
| I did so with duty in my soul, and I still feel it. | ||
| To Donald Trump I ask, why don't you? | ||
| On January 6th I nearly died protecting the Capitol, and I will do it again for our democracy. | ||
| The way to preserve it is to elect Kamala Harris our first female commander-in-chief. | ||
| I could barely get through the speech, can't even speak English. | ||
| Please welcome New Jersey Representative Andy Kim. | ||
| When I was a kid, my parents brought me to the Capitol. | ||
| They taught me that it's sacred ground, a symbol of our democracy. | ||
| Oh, shut up. | ||
| When I got to Congress, I was excited to bring my little boys to the same beautiful building. | ||
| I asked them, do you like the Capitol? | ||
| And my oldest son, Austin, said, I love the Capitol, and lowercase too. | ||
| They are so sweet. | ||
| But shortly after, we saw something unimaginable. | ||
| A mob tearing down flags, assaulting police officers. | ||
| That night, I walked into the rotunda. | ||
| The floor was covered in broken glass and garbage, strewn with the chaos unleashed by Donald Trump. | ||
| And I thought to myself, how did it get this bad? | ||
| So I did the only thing I could think of. | ||
| I grabbed a trash bag and started cleaning up. | ||
| What I learned on January 6th is that all of us, all of us, are caretakers for our great | ||
| republic. | ||
| We can heal this country, but only if we try. | ||
| Many of you are doing your part through your voices and your votes. | ||
| Always remember, this chaos that we see, it doesn't have to be this way. | ||
| As a father, I refuse to believe that our kids are doomed to grow up in a broken America. | ||
| There is a hunger right now in this country for a new generation of leadership to step up. | ||
| Let's choose Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. | ||
| Let's do this for our kids and our grandkids. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Please welcome Olivia Juliana. | ||
| Hello. | ||
| Hello from a proud Texas Democrat! | ||
| This November, I'll cast my first vote in a presidential election ever. | ||
| The fact is, our right to vote is under attack. | ||
| I've seen it. | ||
| Look at this 600 pound fat pig. | ||
| Texans denied our voice. | ||
| Donald Trump's Republicans are making it harder for us to vote. | ||
| But we won't let them get away with it. | ||
| And Kamala Harris won't let them get away with it either. | ||
| She's fought for our freedoms. | ||
| She's fought for our voice. | ||
| But we will only be heard if we vote. | ||
| As the saying goes, if you're not at the table, you're on the menu. | ||
| So, Gen Z, let's take our seat in our democracy and cast our ballots this November for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. | ||
| Yo! | ||
| I love Stevie Wonder. | ||
| Oh, he's gonna talk? | ||
| I hope he performs. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| I love you. | ||
| I just want to say I love you. | ||
| I love you. | ||
| And every song that I've sang, every song that I've written, it's because of my love for you right here. | ||
| But this year, this year I've prayed very hard for peace to come to our world's nations, but also to each one of our hearts. | ||
| Sing! | ||
| Even though our hearts have been beaten and broken. | ||
| Beyond prayer, I know the importance of action. | ||
| And now is the time to understand where we are and what it will take to win. | ||
| Win the broken hearts. | ||
| Win the disenchanted. | ||
| When the angry spirit, now is the time. | ||
| This is the moment to remember when you tell your children where you were and what you did. | ||
| to end. | ||
| As we stand between History's pain and tomorrow's promises. | ||
| We must choose courage over complacency. | ||
| It is time to get up and go vote. | ||
| Go vote! | ||
| Listen, the choice is clear. | ||
| We need to choose joy over anger, kindness over recrimination, and peace over war. | ||
| is saying. You feel me? We need to choose joy over anger, kindness over recrimination, | ||
| and peace over war. Every time. We must choose to be above the ugly words, the hateful anger, | ||
| and the division those words and anger create. We must choose to be above the ugly words, | ||
| the hateful anger, and the division those words and anger create. | ||
| We must keep on keeping on until we truly are a united people of these United States. | ||
| And then, and then, We will reach a higher ground. | ||
| Are y'all ready? | ||
| Are y'all ready to reach a higher ground? | ||
| Are you ready to reach a higher, higher, higher ground? | ||
| Tell me! | ||
| I wanna hear you again, are you ready? | ||

| Yes we do. | ||

Alright. | |
| Y'all remember this big ol' book from before? | ||
| When Colorado Governor Jared Polis ripped the page out of it? | ||
| This is Project 2025. | ||
| The Republican blueprint for a second Trump term. | ||
| It's so funny that Kenan Thompson's talking about Project 2025. | ||
| It is a real document that you can read for yourself at KamalaHarris.com forward slash Project 2025. | ||
| You ever seen a document that could kill a small animal and democracy at the same time? | ||
| Here it is. | ||
| You know how when you download an app and there are hundreds of pages there that you don't read, it's just the terms and conditions, and you just click agree, right? | ||
| Well these are the terms and conditions of a second Trump presidency. | ||
| You vote for him, you vote for all of this. | ||
| Let's take a look. | ||
| All right, we got Matt here with us tonight. | ||
| Is Matt here? | ||
| Hey, there he is. | ||
| Matt, how are you, sir? | ||
| All right, Matt. | ||
| Now, Matt, I understand that you work as an AV tech in Nevada, and you make a decent hourly wage. | ||
| Is that right? | ||
| Oh, I don't know if we can hear Matt. | ||
| Can we hear Matt? | ||
| So who's going to fix it? | ||
| Keep speaking, Matt, so we can hear you. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| Okay, that's good. | ||
| I guess we're gonna move on from Matt. | ||
| Painful. | ||
| That's a joke, by the way. | ||
| People in the chat are like, that's the joke. | ||

Oh! | |
| That's amazing. | ||
| Very, very cute. | ||
| Thanks. | ||

| I hate that. | ||
| On page 584, Project 2025 calls for the elimination of protections for LGBTQ plus Americans. | ||
| So yeah, right back to the Stone Age. | ||
| I'm afraid so. | ||
| Right back to the Stone Age. | ||
| That's terrible. | ||

Yeah, it is. | |
| Thank you, Becky, for being here and making that wonderful point. | ||

| Nirvana, are you with us? | ||
| And your people are with us as well? | ||
| All right, good. | ||
| Now, Nirvana, I understand that you are on insulin to manage your diabetes, yes? | ||
| Yes, and thanks to President Biden and Vice President Harris, I only paid $35 a month for my insulin. | ||
| That is great. | ||
| That is great. | ||
| But on page 465, this is painful. | ||
| Project 2025 calls for millions of people like yourself to pay more for prescription drugs like insulin. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Why? | ||
| Well, I guess maybe to help Big Pharma make more money that they can donate to Republican politicians, I assume. | ||
| Yeah, that makes sense. | ||
| Yes, unfortunately, it does make sense. | ||
| All right, let's talk to Anita. | ||
| Anita, are you there? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Hello, Anita. | ||
| Hello. | ||
| And, Anita, what do you do for a living? | ||
| I'm an OB-GYN who delivers babies and does surgery. | ||
| An OB-GYN! | ||
| Oh, my gosh. | ||
| She is an OB-GYN that delivers babies. | ||
| Uh-oh. | ||
| Uh-oh, yeah. | ||
| It's bad news, isn't it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It sure is. | |
| On page 459, Project 2025 resurrects a law from the 1800s called the Comstock Act to ban abortion nationwide and throw healthcare providers in jail. | ||
| Oh my God, that is awful. | ||
| Yes, it is awful. | ||
| All right, let's do one more. | ||
| Is Sharia with us? | ||
| Sharia, are you there? | ||
| Hey Kenan, I'm here. | ||
| Yes, Sharia, I love it. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Let's talk to you. | ||
| I understand that you work for the federal government? | ||
| Yes, sir. | ||
| I'm in the United States Department of Education. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm a proud civil servant and a proud union president. | |
| She works for the Department of Education and she's a proud civil servant. | ||
| Well, Unfortunately for you, on page 78, Project 2025 calls for President Trump to purge the civil service of everyone who isn't a MAGA loyalist. | ||
| Are you a MAGA loyalist? | ||
| No, Kenan. | ||
| Absolutely not. | ||
| I'm just asking. | ||
| I mean, you might as well be, because also, page 319 calls for the complete elimination of the Department of Education. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| Yeah, there's a bunch of stuff in here, but that's all we have time for at the moment. | ||
| Just remember, everything that we just talked about is very real. | ||
| It is in this book. | ||
| Maybe that wasn't a joke at the beginning. | ||
| I think his audio really was fucked up. | ||
| I thought it was a joke. | ||
| Because they said he was a tech guy. | ||
| his audio really was fucked up. I thought it was a joke. | ||
| Because they said he was a tech guy. | ||

But that was really painful to sit through. | |
| And I was like, I'm not gonna do this. I'm not gonna do this. I'm not gonna do this. | ||
| Good evening, everyone! | ||
| Hello! | ||
| Hello and welcome! | ||
| Welcome to the third night of the Democratic National Convention. | ||
| My name is Mindy Kaling. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| For those of you who don't know me, I am an incredibly famous Gen Z actress, who you might recognize from The Office. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| The Mindy Project. | ||
| Or as the woman who courageously outed Kamala Harris as Indian in an Instagram cooking video. | ||
| Yes, you're welcome. | ||
| I am so proud to be here supporting my friend. | ||
| But the real reason I am here is that deep down, I truly believe that as a woman of color and as a single mother of three, it is incredibly important that I be appointed ambassador to Italy. | ||
| That's how this works, right? | ||
| That's why I'm here. | ||
| I've never been, I'm dying to go. | ||
| Guys, I just really need a break. | ||
| I know it's not THE priority tonight, but just think about it. | ||
| I am actually here because I've loved my president for a long time, and I want to tell you a story about one of the first times I ever met her. | ||
| She wasn't Madam Vice President then. | ||
| She was my senator. | ||
| And we were filming a video where she came to my home to cook dosas, a South Indian dish. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| It's not every day that a senator comes over, and I was pretty nervous. | ||
| But when she arrived, we immediately hit it off. | ||
| We talked about the love we have for our moms, who had both passed away from cancer. | ||
| Both of our mothers were immigrants from India who came to America and committed their lives to serving others. | ||
| My mother, Swati, became an OB-GYN. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Kamala's mother, Shyamala, became a scientist with a PhD who dedicated her life to trying | ||
| to find a cure for cancer. | ||
| And after speaking to Kamala, it was clear to me that Shyamala had passed down the same | ||
| optimism and fearlessness to her daughter. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| But the thing I remember the most about the Vice President is that Kamala Harris can cook. | ||
| Guys, she was so much better than me. | ||
| But she also knew that my family was watching. | ||
| So, as she gently corrected my sloppy dose of making, she was complimenting me every step of the way, making sure that my daughter Kit heard how good of a cook I am. | ||
| She had no desire to be seen as better than anyone else. | ||
| She just wanted my kid to be impressed with her mom. | ||
| And when she finally, and when she finally bit into my dosa, she looked at me and said, mmm, really good! | ||
| And then never took another bite again. | ||
| Yes, yes. | ||
| But it is that warmth, that generosity of spirit, that I know she will bring to the White House as our next president. | ||
| Kamala Harris cares deeply about other people. | ||
| She will fight to protect our freedoms, because those are the values that her mother passed down to her. | ||
| But, in order to protect those freedoms, Democrats also need to win the House. | ||
| So we have a lot to do, and please welcome to the stage, your next Speaker of the House, | ||
| Hakeem Jeffries. | ||
| How's the speech? | ||
| Captain Light. | ||
| Good evening, Democrats. | ||
| It's a pleasure to be here. | ||
| I'm Hakeem Jeffries, and I'm here to talk about the House of Representatives. | ||
| It's a high honor and a distinct privilege as a Brooklynite, New Yorker, OK. | ||
| OK. | ||
| To stand before you today and unequivocally express my support for | ||
| Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to be the next president and vice president of | ||
| the United States of America. | ||
| Over the last two years, House Democrats have been hard at work and | ||
| we could not have asked for a better leader to partner with than President | ||
| Joseph Robinette Biden, who will go down as one of the most consequential | ||
| presidents of all time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Last one. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| President Biden selflessly passed the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris, who is ready, willing, and able to fight for the people. | ||
| Kamala Harris. | ||
| Kamala Harris is a courageous leader, a compassionate leader, and a common sense leader who will deliver real results for everyday Americans. | ||
| Kamala Harris is fighting for our freedom. | ||
| Kamala Harris is fighting for our families. | ||
| Kamala Harris is fighting for our future. | ||
| Together, let's make Kamala Harris the 47th President of the United States of America. | ||
| In our great country, when you work hard and play by the rules, you deserve to earn a living | ||
| wage. | ||
| You deserve to have an affordable place to call home. | ||
| You deserve to educate your children in a great public school that is free From gun violence. | ||
| And you deserve high quality, affordable health care. | ||
| And you deserve the chance to one day retire with grace and with dignity. | ||
| But for far too many people in our great country, they are struggling to live paycheck to paycheck. | ||
| And as a result, the American dream is out of reach. | ||
| Here's the thing. | ||
| Extreme MAGA Republicans don't care about everyday Americans. | ||
| They only care about themselves. | ||
| Our approach, led by Kamala Harris and Coach Walz, is very different. | ||
| We care about you, the American people. | ||
| And we will fight hard to make sure that the American dream is alive and well in every single community. | ||
| Now the road ahead will not be easy, which brings me to you know who. | ||
| Donald Trump is like an old boyfriend who you broke up with, but he just won't go away. | ||
| He has spent the last four years spinning the block, trying to get back into a relationship with the American people. | ||
| Bro, we broke up with you for a reason. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's kind of funny. | |
| Trump was the mastermind of the GOP tax scam where 83% of the benefits went to the wealthiest 1% in America. | ||
| Trump failed our country during the COVID-19 pandemic. | ||
| Trump is a chaos agent who is focused on himself, not the American people. | ||
| Trump tried to destroy our democracy by lying about the election and inciting a violent | ||
| mob to attack the Capitol. | ||
| Trump put three extreme justices on the Supreme Court who destroyed Roe v. Wade. | ||
| We broke up with you for a reason. | ||
| Donald Trump can spin the block all he wants, but there's no reason for us to ever get back | ||
| together. | ||
| Been there, done that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're not going back. | |
| Kamala Harris. | ||
| Kamala Harris and House Democrats will always put people over politics. | ||
| Kamala Harris and House Democrats will lower costs and grow the middle class. | ||
| Kamala Harris and House Democrats will fix our broken immigration system and secure the | ||
| border. | ||
| Kamala Harris and House Democrats will strengthen the relationship between the police and the | ||
| community. | ||
| Kamala Harris and House Democrats will continue to combat the climate crisis with the fierce urgency of now. | ||
| Kamala Harris and House Democrats will protect Social Security, protect Medicare, protect | ||
| Medicaid, protect the Affordable Care Act, protect working families, protect small businesses, | ||
| protect the middle class, protect free enterprise, protect our children, protect our seniors, | ||
| protect our veterans, protect our unions, protect our dreamers, and always protect a | ||
| woman's freedom to make her own reproductive health care decisions. | ||

Thank you. | |
| Together, together, together, let's build a brighter future for our children and our grandchildren. | ||
| In the Old Testament Book of Psalms, the scripture tells us that weeping may endure, During the long night, but joy will come in the morning. | ||
| Here's how we do it. | ||
| Strategize on Sunday. | ||
| Meet the moment on Monday. | ||
| Take it to them on Tuesday. | ||
| Work it out on Wednesday. | ||
| Thank the Lord on Thursday. | ||
| Fight the power on Friday. | ||

Now there's only 76 days left. | |
| There are only 76 days left. | ||
| We must continue to speak up. | ||
| We must continue to show up. | ||
| We must continue to stand up. | ||
| Not as Democrats or Republicans, but as Americans. | ||
| And when we do, nothing can stop Kamala Harris from becoming the 47th President of the United States of America. | ||
| Nothing can stop House Democrats from taking back the majority. | ||
| Nothing can stop the American people from continuing our march Holding is so low IQ. | ||
| It makes sense why it's all women in the audience because every one speech after the other it's not even about anything. | ||
| None of these, excuse me, none of these speeches are saying anything. | ||

It's not about stuff. | |
| You wanna go outside today? | ||

Let's go outside. | |

| Our future together, she actually cares. | ||
| Like, that's all there is. | ||

|
I hate to break it to you, but I'm not a billionaire. | |
| Donald Trump talked a big game about bringing jobs back to America, but it was all talk. | ||
| Like Foxconn. | ||
| This is the H wonder of the world. | ||
| Foxconn, by most estimates, has not even come close to meeting expectations. | ||
| This whole project was a scam. | ||
| He is not looking out for the residents, he's looking out for himself. | ||
| You know what Trump delivered? | ||
| Two trillion dollars in tax cuts focused on his billionaire buddies and big corporations. | ||
| It makes me angry. | ||
| Billionaires don't pay their share of the load. | ||
| And he wants to do that again. | ||
| Trump talked a massive game about infrastructure. | ||
| What a joke. | ||
| We call it infrastructure week. | ||
| Infrastructure is the easiest of all. | ||
| We're going to get this infrastructure. | ||
| Going. | ||
| Trump was too incompetent to get it done. | ||
| Who's he looking out for? | ||
| Not us, not my family. | ||
| You know who got it done? | ||
| Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. | ||
| Biggest infrastructure package in history. | ||
| Infrastructure is just a fancy word for jobs. | ||
| Not just union workers, but for everyone. | ||
| Small businesses are booming. | ||
| Communities are starting to thrive again. | ||
| I wish it was faster. | ||
| The prices are easing. | ||
| Kamala Harris helped deliver the largest job growth in American history. | ||
| Wages are higher. | ||
| Manufacturing is booming. | ||
| We're building roads, bridges, airports again. | ||
| That's a fact. | ||
| And we have health care. | ||
| When our middle class is strong, America is strong. | ||
| Kumble's goal is to rebuild the middle class for families like mine. | ||
| Please welcome the 42nd president of the United States, Bill Clinton. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Whoa. Thank you. | ||
| Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| After the last two days, aren't you proud to be a Democrat? | ||
| And I am very grateful to the Republicans and Independents that have joined us and been up here on the stage. | ||
| And I hope they feel better about it now, because I've seen all these things that even I have to be reminded of from time to time when I get my spirits down. | ||
| I love seeing the Obamas here. | ||
| I love seeing President Biden. | ||
| And I thought Hillary gave a great speech, too. | ||
| And I love — But I love seeing all these young leaders — | ||
| A bunch of them are coming up after me. | ||
| They look better, they sound better, and they'll be exciting. | ||
| I do want to say one word about President Biden. | ||
| Remember, he had an improbable It doesn't sound good. | ||
| it doesn't sound good. Get him up there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He doesn't sound good. Get him up there. | |
| And he strengthens our alliances for peace and security. | ||
| He strengthens our alliances for peace and security. | ||
| He stood up for Ukraine. | ||
| He was trying desperately to get a ceasefire in the Middle East. | ||
| And then he did something that's really hard for a politician to do. | ||
| He voluntarily gave up political power. | ||
| And George Washington knew that, and he did it. | ||
| And he set the standard for us serving two terms before it was mandatory. | ||
| It helped his legacy, and it will enhance Joe Biden's legacy. | ||
| And it's a stark contrast to what goes on in the other party. | ||
| So I want to thank him for his courage, compassion, his class, his service, his sacrifice. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Joe Biden... | |
| Thank you. | ||
| And... | ||
| He kept the faith and he's infected a lot of the rest of us. | ||
| Now let's cut to the chase. | ||
| I am too old to gill the lily. | ||
| Two days ago, I turned 78, the oldest man in my family for four generations. | ||
| And the only personal vanity I want to assert is I'm still younger than Donald Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, you sound like shit. | |
| Last night, in what I thought was a very moving series of episodes, we nominated Kamala Harris | ||
| and Tim Walz. | ||
| And just think about that. | ||
| Two leaders with all-American but still improbable life stories. | ||
| It could only happen here. | ||
| Their careers, after all, started in community courtrooms and classrooms. | ||
| Two leaders who spent a lifetime getting the good job done. | ||
| Now, one of the things that I've noticed over my increasingly long life is that a presidential election is unique. | ||
| in several ways. | ||
| First of all, it's the greatest job interview for the greatest job in the world. | ||
| Secondly, the Constitution says we, the people, get to do the hiring. | ||
| And the third thing is that every four years, we get to change the requirements for the job. | ||
| So here's what I'm thinking, because I try to apply this in every election. | ||
| Will this president take us backward or forward? | ||
| Will this president give our kids a brighter future? | ||
| Depends. | ||
| Will this president Bring us together or tear us apart. | ||
| Will the president increase the peace, security, and stability and freedom that we enjoy and extend it to others as we can? | ||
| We the people, we have to make a decision about these kind of questions. | ||
| And every four years it's a little different because The people come up to candidates, come up to candidates, and they say, as they're saying now, here are our problems. | ||
| Solve them. | ||
| Here are our opportunities. | ||
| Seize them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Here are our fears. | |
| Ease them. | ||
| Here are our dreams. | ||
| Help them come true. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Oh my gosh, dude. | ||
| It's all rhetoric. | ||
| A president can answer that call. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's nothing real. | |
| You're not talking about anything real. | ||
| You have to help me. | ||
| We have to work together. | ||
| Or you can dodge what needs to be done by dividing, distracting, and diverting us. | ||
| So in 2024, we got a pretty clear choice, it seems to me. | ||
| Kamala Harris for the people. | ||
| And the other guy who's proved even more than the first go-around that he's about me, myself, and I. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Bye. | |
| I know which one I like better for our country. | ||
| Kamala Harris will work to solve our problems, seize our opportunities, ease our fears, and | ||
| make sure every single American, however they vote, has a chance to chase their dreams. | ||
| You know, When she was young, she worked at McDonald's. | ||
| W. And she greeted every person with that thousand watt smile and said, how can I help you? | ||
| Now she's at the pinnacle of power and she's still asking, how can I help you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That is so dumb. | |
| I'll be so happy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Welcome to McDonald's, how may I help you? | |
| Welcome to the White House? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really? | |
| Horrible, horrible. | ||
| She will break my record as the president who spent the most time at McDonald's. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now, but we got an election to win. | |
| And remember, we've got a guy that's pretty good at what he does. | ||
| Donald Trump has been a paragon of consistency. | ||
| He's still dividing, he's still blaming, he's still belittling other people. | ||
| He creates chaos, and then he sort of curates it, as if it were precious art. | ||
| Let me say, Not a single day goes by, even though I've been gone for | ||
| well over 23 years from the White House, not a day goes by that I don't thank the Lord for the | ||
| chance I had to serve and what it meant. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And one of the reasons... Thank you. | |
| One of the reasons... | ||
| One of the reasons I love the job so much is that in the toughest times, even on the darkest days, | ||
| if you tried hard enough, there was always something good you could do for somebody else. | ||
| Now... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Some days that's not easy to do. | ||
| You've got to deal with all these emergencies or there's something going on here or there or yonder, but Kamala Harris is the only candidate in this race who has the vision, the experience, the temperament, the will, and yes, the sheer joy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really? | |
| I mean look, what does her opponent do with his voice? | ||
| He mostly talks about himself, right? | ||
| So the next time you hear him, don't count the lies. | ||
| Count the eyes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Count the eyes. | |
| Here's... | ||
| His vendettas, his vengeance, his complaints, his conspiracies. | ||
| He's like one of those tenors opening up before he walks out on stage like I did, | ||
| trying to get his lungs open by singing, me, me, me, me, me, me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's selfish. | |
| He's like one of those tenors opening up before he walks out on stage like I did, | ||
| When Kamala Harris is president, every day will begin with you, you, you, you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They can't run on the economy. | |
| They can't run on foreign policy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They can't run on immigration. | |
| So they say, oh, the other guy is a jerk. | ||
| He's selfish and he doesn't care about other people. | ||
| Do you want to build a strong economy from the bottom up and the middle out? | ||
| Or do you want to spend the next four years talking about... | ||
| crowd size? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| You're going to have a hard time believing this, but so help me, I triple checked it. | ||
| Since the end of the Cold War in 1989, America has created about 51 million new jobs. | ||
| I swear I checked this three times. | ||
| Even I couldn't believe it. | ||
| What's the score? | ||
| Democrats 50, Republicans 1. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's no way that's true. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| I'm glad that we've got a championship-winning coach on our team. | ||
| But even the most limited of us in what we know about football, or any other sport, | ||
| know that if you're not 50 and the other side's got one, you're going to be a champion. | ||
|
unidentified
|
you're ahead. | |
| The only way that would make sense, first of all, Dems had it for 20 years, | ||
| Republicans 13. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| And the Democrats had it after the Cold War. | ||
| They had it after the recession and they had it after the pandemic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So they really had all the recoveries. | |
| That would be the only way you could make that work. | ||
| And are trying to cover more drugs by bargaining for prices. | ||
| We need more financing for small businesses. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But... I don't know. | |
| I mean, I don't really even care to defend Republicans, because it's like, who are we defending, George W. Bush and, like, his dad? | ||
| I almost croaked in the first debate of this election season when President Trump said Nobody respected America anymore like they did when he was president. | ||
| Wait, wait. | ||
| And with a straight face. | ||
| Look, you've got to give him. | ||
| He's a good actor. | ||
| With a straight face, he cited as evidence of the respect that existed for us when he was there, | ||
| the presidents of North Korea and Russia. | ||
| I'd rather have the people who respect us now. | ||
| And one of the things is when you send a signal to the other countries, you want them to know whether they agree with you or not. | ||
| At least that you're on the level. | ||
| Here's where you are and what you believe. | ||
| What are they supposed to make to these endless tributes to the late, great Hannibal Lecter? | ||
| President Obama once gave me the great honor of saying I was the explainer-in-chief Folks, I've thought and thought about it, and I don't know what to say. | ||
| Like Hakeem Jeffries, I too want an America that's more joyful, more inclusive, more future-focused. | ||
| Just think what a burden it's been on us to get up day after day after day after day. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What are they supposed to make of all these tributes to the late, great Hannibal Lecter? | |
| When there's so many opportunities out there, so many problems that need to be solved. | ||
| I want that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, yeah, he cooked. | |
| And that's the America Kamala Harris would have. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That was rough. | |
| She's already made her first presidential decision, and she knocked it out of the park. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He'd love to have you for dinner. | |
| Brutal, brutal. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Brutal, brutal. | |
| As they used to say when I was a young man growing up in | ||
| Arkansas, you do not have to be all broke out with brilliance. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thanks. | |
| you You just look at Tim Walz, listen to him, follow his record as a teacher, as a coach in the National Guard, as a congressman where he was the only Democrat, save one, | ||
| elected in that district in more than 100 years. | ||
| And he stayed a long time. | ||
| And then he became a great governor. | ||
| And by all accounts, he was a crack shot who had the courage among his rural constituents to say, we do not need these assault weapons available to people who can kill our | ||
| kids in school. | ||
| So armed with her first decision, Kamala Harris confronts a An interesting dilemma. | ||
| We're going to walk out of here feeling pretty good, I think. | ||
| We've got energy. | ||
| We are happy. | ||
| We feel like a Lowe's off our shoulders. | ||
| And we know we're just being asked to fight the same fight that the forces of progress have had to fight for 250 years. | ||
| In the face of stiff and often violent opposition, we have to find a way to go forward together, | ||
| where we the people make our union more perfect. | ||
| So, that's a good thing. | ||
| How could we possibly lose? | ||
| Kamala Harris has fought for kids her whole life that were left out and left behind. | ||
| She's taken on gangs trafficking across the border. | ||
| She's fought to protect the rights of homeowners. | ||
| She's been our leader in the fight for reproductive freedoms, | ||
| and we know a majority of the American people are with us on that. | ||
| And she's gained an invaluable amount of experience as vice president, | ||
| advancing our values and interests around the world. | ||
| She's already said she's going to work really hard to make sure that no American working full-time lives in poverty or has to worry about their children. | ||
| Does anyone believe that that is achievable? | ||
| She says that We got to make home ownership an achievable dream for everyone, not just a privilege. | ||
| She said that it, and this meant a lot to me, that she would protect everybody's right to vote whether or not they voted for her. | ||
| They were citizens and they deserve the right to vote. | ||
| The other day, her opponent implied that if his people voted one more time, | ||
| they'd be able to rig it from now on and they wouldn't have to vote again. | ||
| You think they're kidding, but I know a lot of these folks, and most of them are really good people, but some of them think that they are bound to dominate America Politically, economically, and socially. | ||
| And they have to use politics to do it. | ||
| And they should rig the system. | ||
| I don't believe that. | ||
| And so, here's what I want to tell you. | ||
| We've seen more than one election slip away from us when we thought it couldn't happen. | ||
| When people got distracted by phony issues. | ||
| Or overconfident. | ||
| This is a brutal, tough business. | ||
| I want you to be happy. | ||
| One of the reasons that President-to-be Harris is doing so well is that we're all so happy. | ||
| But you should never underestimate your adversary. | ||
|

|
Thank you. | |
| And these people are really good at distracting us, at triggering doubt, at triggering buyer's remorse. | ||
| As Obama said so eloquently last night, they are human, you know. | ||
| They're bound to make a mistake now and then. | ||
| We've got to be tough. | ||
| And so, as somebody who spends a lot of time in small towns and rural areas in New York and Arkansas and other places, I urge you to talk to all your neighbors. | ||
| I urge you to meet people where they are. | ||
| I urge you not to demean them. | ||
| But not to pretend you don't disagree with them if you do. | ||
| Treat them with respect, just the way you'd like them to treat you. | ||
| As for their help, and then follow our leader, Kamala, and ask them, | ||
| how can I help you? | ||

Thank you. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| We Democrats right now have a lot of hay in the barn. | ||
| We've got massive achievements, massive advances, but there's still a lot of slips between today and election day that we have to navigate. | ||
| And so, I want to say this in the bottom of my heart. | ||
| I have no idea how many more of these I'll be able to come to. | ||
| I started in 76, and I've been everyone since. | ||
| But, no. | ||

| Lord, I'm getting old. | ||
| But here's what I want you to know. | ||
| If you vote for this team, if you can get them elected, And let them bring in this breath of fresh air. | ||
| You will be proud of it for the rest of your life. | ||

Take it. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| From a man who once had the honor to be called in this convention, the man from hope, we need, we need Kamala Harris, the President of Joy, to lead us. | ||

| Hello, Democrats! | ||
| On January 20th, 2021, with the inauguration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, we established one of the most successful presidencies of modern times. | ||
| And we quickly proved that Democrats deliver. | ||
| millions of jobs, stronger infrastructure and rural broadband, | ||
| a childs- a Biden child tax credit, rescuing human pensions, honoring our veterans, | ||
| dude climate action, | ||
| lowering the cost of prescription drugs, all thanks to president Biden's patriotic vision of a fairer | ||
| America. | ||
| Doing so with liberty and justice for all. | ||

She's struggling. | |
| Thank you, Joe. | ||
| What's going on? | ||
| on her dentures falling out or is she drunk? | ||
| And I know that Vice President Harris is ready to take us to new heights. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Look at her. | |
| She literally gets her dentures back in. | ||
| Personally, I know her a person of deep faith, which is reflected in her community care and service. | ||
| Officially, she is a leader of strength and wisdom and eloquence on policy, most recently demonstrated fighting for one's right to choose. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Get your dentures back in, lady. | |
| Politically, she is astute and strategic in winning difficult elections, quickly securing the nomination with dignity and grace, and choosing Tim Walz as our vice president. | ||
| I had the honor of serving with Tim for 12 years in the Congress. | ||
| He united Democrats, Republicans, and Independents to turn a red district blue. | ||
| He showed courage when he came to Congress in voting for the Affordable Care Act, meeting the needs of his constituents despite Republicans' lies and misrepresentation. | ||
| When he went home, won the election, he returned to Congress, he fought for our Americans' heroes as the Democratic leader of the Veterans Affairs Committee. | ||
|

|
Thank you, Tim. | |
| January 6th was a perilous moment for our democracy. | ||
| Never before had a President of the United States so brazenly assaulted the bedrock of our democracy, so gleefully embraced political violence, so willfully betrayed his oath of office. | ||
| Let us not forget who assaulted democracy on January 6th. | ||
| He did! | ||
| But let us not forget who saved democracy that day. | ||
| We did. | ||
| And thank God we had a Democratic House of Representatives then. | ||
| We returned to the Capitol that very same night. | ||
| We insisted on certifying the election results on the floor of the House and the Senate. | ||
| and we demonstrated to America and to the world that American democracy prevailed. | ||
| The parable of January 6th. | ||
| Reminds us that our democracy is only as strong as the courage and commitment of those entrusted with its care. | ||
| And we must choose leaders who believe in free and fair elections, who respect the peaceful transfer of power. | ||
| The choice couldn't be clearer. | ||
| Those leaders are Vice President Harris and Governor Walz. | ||
| When the sun rose on January 7th, as our national anthem declares, we gave proof through the | ||
| night that our flag was still there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Now, in this election, we are called upon to do the same. | ||
| To stand together. | ||
| To reject autocracy. | ||
| To choose democracy. | ||
| And we will do so by electing a Democratic House with Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker of the House. | ||
| Electing a Democratic Senate. | ||
| Electing Tim Walz as Vice President of the United States. | ||
| And electing Kamala Harris as the President of the United States. | ||
| Onward to victory! | ||

In 2016, we celebrated Aunty's Senate win. | |

| Aunty said, do you know what superheroes do? | ||
| They fight back. | ||
| And we will too. | ||
| She will make time for what matters. | ||
| You know, no one is busier than my auntie. | ||
| But she always makes time for family. | ||
| From moments as simple as cooking and sharing a meal, to exchanging stories and jokes. | ||
| Auntie taught me about being present in what's important. | ||
| And I know that's how she'll lead. | ||
| She'll treat everyone with respect. | ||
| Even as a kid, Auntie made me feel that I was seen, that my words are important, that I am important and loved. | ||
| I know she'll value others' perspectives, no matter their age or their background. | ||
| Auntie, we love you. | ||
| We're so proud of you. | ||

Please welcome nominee for U.S. | |
| Congress in California, Latifah Simon. | ||
| Latifa Simon. | ||
| Alright, Latifa! | ||
| Hello, Democrats! | ||
| My name is Latifa Simon and I am running for Congress! | ||
| Chris. | ||
| And I'm going to get my phone back. | ||
| I'm going to get my phone back. | ||
| And I'm here tonight to tell you all about the Kamala Harris that I know. | ||
| I'm gonna tell you. | ||
| When Kamala Harris was the district attorney in San Francisco, California, I was a teen mother running an organization working to end sex trafficking among beautiful young women and girls, to build the self-determination and power among those girls. | ||
| And Kamala learned about the work that I was doing. | ||
| And she asked me to join her team. | ||
| And I joined her team. | ||
| She saw my potential, my commitment, and the good work that we could do together. | ||
| And I saw her. | ||
| I saw Kamala Harris holding the hands of sexual assault survivors. | ||
| I saw scores of mothers who lost their babies to gun violence lining up day after day at the courthouse waiting only to speak to Kamala because they knew, they knew that she would hear them, that she would truly see them. | ||
| Because there's something about Kamala Harris. | ||
| For those who know her, you know. | ||
| Really? | ||
| She hears your story. | ||
| She carries it with her. | ||
| When she sees you, she truly sees you. | ||
| She truly sees you. | ||
| She is the best among us. | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| After working with Kamala Harris day in and day out for five years to create programs | ||
| that supported young people to get out of the criminal justice system once and for all | ||
| with good jobs, with opportunity. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| She wanted to get to the root cause of a broken criminal justice system. | ||
| I saw her chip away. | ||
| She came early and she left late every single day because, you know, like those mothers, like those sexual assault survivors, when she goes into that Oval Office, she, when she goes, Into that Oval Office. | ||
| I guarantee you she will take all of us with her. | ||
| All of us. | ||
| The single mothers, the disabled veterans, the low-income folks who are dying to survive, the immigrants who are trying to work towards the promise of America. | ||
| She will take us all. | ||
| The farm workers, she will take us all with her. | ||
| All of us! | ||
| That... | ||
| is the Kamala Harris... | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| you This is totally insane. | ||
| This is totally insane. | ||
| That is the Kamala Harris that I love. | ||
| A woman of the people. | ||
| A woman, a fierce woman, for the people. | ||
| Good night, Democrats. | ||
| Talk about overacting. | ||
| These people are just not jobs. | ||
| I cannot relate to any of them. | ||
| relate to any of them. The Attorney General of the United States and the Vice President's brother-in-law Tony West. | ||
| 35 years ago in my first week at law school, I met a new classmate, Maya Harris. We became | ||
| best friends, but the way Kamala tells the story, we'd already fallen in love by graduation day. | ||
| And when Maya and I married, I not only gained a life partner I love, a daughter I adore, and a mother-in-law I revered, someone I affectionately called Mother Harris, I also gained a sister, a sister I cherish, Kamala. | ||
| Now, Maya, Kamala, and I each pursued different legal careers, but we were motivated by the same values. | ||
| A belief in equal opportunity. | ||
| A yearning for fairness. | ||
| A passion for justice. | ||
| Values Mother Harris taught those two little girls. | ||
| Values that powered Kamala's public service from the very beginning. | ||
| You know, One of Kamala's very first cases in the District Attorney's Office, it involved a woman, an innocent woman, wrongfully arrested in a police raid. | ||
| It was a Friday afternoon and the courthouse was shutting down for the weekend. | ||
| And look, most prosecutors, they would have gone home and dealt with the matter the following Monday. | ||
| But not Kamala. | ||
| You see, my sister-in-law knew that if the judge didn't see this woman that afternoon, she'd spend the entire weekend in jail. | ||
| And Kamala, she wondered, does this woman work weekends? | ||
| Would she lose her job? | ||
| Does she have young kids at home? | ||
| Who'd feed those kids? | ||
| So Kamala pleaded for the judge to return to the bench and to hear the matter. | ||
| And the judge agreed. | ||
| And within minutes, that woman was released back to her family that night. | ||
| Now, it may seem small, but that's what it means to stand up for justice. | ||
| That's what it means to stand for the people. | ||
| And as Kamala says, when you know what you stand for, you know what to fight for. | ||
| And look, believe me when I tell you... | ||
| As a sister, a daughter, an auntie, and a mother, I've seen Kamala fight for her family. | ||
| As District Attorney, Attorney General, U.S. | ||
| Senator and Vice President of the United States, I have launched my fight in the halls of power for those who have no voice there. | ||
| And as President, I know, I know she'll fight for you. | ||
| She'll fight for all of us. | ||
| Because, friends, when Kamala fights, we win. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| God bless you. | ||
| Applause Music | ||
| A crime against any one of us is a crime against all of us. | ||

|
you The work that she did as Attorney General was taking on issues to help people who were trying to make a life for themselves and their families. | |
| When Kamala Harris came into office in 2011, the most urgent economic crisis facing communities throughout California was the foreclosure crisis. | ||
| For too many Californians, hopes for lasting home ownership have been dashed. | ||
| Victims have fallen prey to a series of mortgage scams, fraud, and unfair business practices. | ||
|
unidentified
|
In order to get meaningful relief, we had to sue the banks and see through a lengthy litigation process. | |
| When Kamala was sitting at the table negotiating, it wasn't just about the money. | ||
| It was about real people. | ||
| I vividly remember her thinking about Mommy, who could finally afford to buy her first home, and how proud Mommy was. | ||
| So Kamala knew what was at stake for families and even whole communities. | ||
| We are very proud to announce a tremendous victory for California. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She truly believes that every single person, every American is worthy of the promise and the prosperity of this country. | |
| And every time Kamala has run for a bigger office, it's because she believes that she can have a bigger impact. | ||
| We are making a commitment tonight with this celebration of this Senate race to bring our country together. | ||
| Let's see who's next on the lineup we got. | ||
| Josh Shapiro is coming up, Catherine Cortez, Wes Moore, Governor Maryland, Pete Buttigieg, Klobuchar, and then Tim Walz. | ||
| Yeah, you know, this convention, today it seemed like it was a lot about the Republicans. | ||
| You know, they had the Lieutenant Governor of Georgia, and they had a Deputy DHS Advisor to Mike Pence. | ||
| They talked a lot about the Capitol today. | ||
| But it really seems like this whole convention doesn't have any themes. | ||
| It's like I said on Monday. | ||
| Monday it was clear that the two issues they're running on, which they're hitting really hard, it's unions and abortion, although primarily it's abortion. | ||
| And then what we've really seen the past couple of days is this fixation on Trump. | ||
| And making it about personality. | ||
| It's all about Trump, and Trump is selfish, and Trump broke his promises, and Trump's the chaos candidate, and Trump did January 6th, and Trump... Which is what they've been running on, realistically, since 2016. | ||
| Every cycle since. | ||
|
unidentified
|
16, 18, 20, 22. | |
| Now this one. | ||
| I don't think this has been a particularly effective convention. | ||
| I don't think it has been bad, but I don't think it's been particularly good. | ||
| And the Republicans are right that the Democrats just don't have a platform. | ||
| And they don't have a platform because they can't have one because they are theoretically the incumbent, given that Joe Biden is not really the president and Kamala is in office. | ||
| And the record is so bad. | ||
| The record is bad. | ||
| Their, as I said last night, their cultural cachet is diminishing. | ||
| This woke ideology, leftism, it's just a bad brand. | ||
| So they've really got abortion and then bitching about Trump, but they're not really running for anything. | ||
| There's nothing really coherent here. | ||
| Like with Obama, it was very coherent vision. | ||
| Biden was the anti-Trump. | ||
| They're really just doubling down on that again this year. | ||
| This has not been a great convention. | ||
|

|
Before I was Senator, I was Nevada's Attorney General. | |
| And that's when I met Kamala Harris, my colleague in California. | ||
| Now, we bonded over many things. | ||
| And working together, I quickly learned what kind of person she is. | ||
| She is a strong leader. | ||
| Here's how I know. | ||
| As a teen, we took on the big bang. | ||
| And she's got nothing. | ||
| She has nothing. | ||
| So all they could do is say, like, she's a nice person. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Kamala did not settle for less than homeowners deserve. | |
| She sees you. | ||
| She carries your stories with her. | ||
| Her leadership. | ||
| It's like, yeah, because she's been a lifelong politician and has never done anything. | ||
| Delivering for families? | ||
| That's Kamala Harris. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Kamala and I also worked to protect our southern border. | |
| During that time, Kamala invited a group of AGs across the border to meet with Mexican officials. | ||
| Now, we worked together to put transnational criminals and drug smugglers behind bars. | ||
| Holding criminals accountable? | ||
| That's Kamala Harris. | ||
| Listen, and when we took on human traffickers, Kamala had us meet with survivors so that we could understand who we were fighting for. | ||
| Standing up for justice. | ||
| That's Kamala Harris. | ||
| So trust me, trust me when I say I know she will fight for our families and our freedoms. | ||
| Now we must fight for her. | ||
| Every vote matters. | ||
| I know. | ||
| In 2016, Nevadans elected me, the granddaughter of a baker from Mexico, to serve as the first Latina in the United States Senate. | ||
| I'll tell you what. | ||
| And in 2022, my reelection came down to 7,928 votes. | ||
| Because of voters in Nevada, the Democrats won the Senate majority. | ||
| And I'm here to tell you, we can do it again! | ||
| We can send Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to the White House. | ||
| Are we ready to do it? | ||
| Are we ready to fight? | ||
| Let's get it done, Chicago. | ||
| Thank you, everyone. | ||
| Please welcome Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro. | ||

| Two and a half centuries ago, in Philadelphia, a band of patriots declared their independence from a king and set ourselves on a path of self-determination. | ||
| Generation after generation has embraced that responsibility. | ||
| Ordinary Americans, rising up, demanding more, seeking justice. | ||
| And in every chapter of our American story, we've made progress and advanced the cause of freedom. | ||
| Today, well today we find ourselves writing that next chapter. | ||
| Will we be a nation defined by chaos and extremism? | ||
| Or will we choose a path of decency, honor, and continued progress? | ||
| Kamala Harris, well, she has spent her entire career making progress. | ||
| Donald Trump, a man with no guardrails, wants to take away our rights and our freedoms. | ||
| And listen, while he cloaks himself in the blanket of freedom, What he's offering isn't freedom at all. | ||
| Because hear me on this, it's not freedom to tell our children what books they're allowed to read. | ||
| All of this is so fake. | ||
| The books are pornography. | ||
| And it's not freedom to tell women what they can do with their bodies. | ||
| That's abortion. | ||
| So we're trying to flip the script and it's like, it's not freedom unless your kids can read about gay sex and we can kill babies. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You can go vote, but he gets to pick the winner. | |
| That's not freedom. | ||
| And then this, you know, they're so concerned about the vote. | ||
| You know what, Democrats? | ||
| We are the party of real freedom. | ||
| The kind of real freedom that comes when that child has a great public school with an awesome teacher because we believe in her future. | ||
| Real freedom, real freedom that comes when we invest in the police and in the community so that child can walk to and from school and get home safely to her mama. | ||
| Real freedom, real freedom that comes when she can join a union, marry who she loves, start a family on her own. | ||
| So she can be a lesbian, get abortions, be an atheist. | ||
| she wants, and live a life of purpose where she is respected for who she is. | ||
| That's literally the Democratic vision. | ||
| Be a lesbian, get an abortion, join a union, join a worker's coalition. | ||
| Fuck Democrats, seriously. | ||
| They're so sick. | ||
| Fuck Democrats, seriously. | ||
| They're so sick. | ||
| Sick and twisted. | ||
| We are fighting for... | ||
| You know, Kamala and Tim's names may be on the ballot, but it's your rights. | ||
| It's our rights. | ||
| It's our future and freedoms that are on the line. | ||
| And you have the power to shape the future of this country. | ||
| Just like our ancestors, our ancestors who fought for freedom on the battlefield and sat in at lunch counters so our kids could stand up! | ||
| Now, now it's on us, it's on us, my friends, to organize in our communities and on our For You pages around three basic American principles. | ||
| We value our freedom, we cherish our democracy, and we love this country! | ||
| And listen, we love this country. | ||
| And listen, despite our challenges, hear me on this, I want you to know I have never been more hopeful because I see in all of you the enduring promise of America. | ||
| E Pluribus Unum, out of many one. | ||
| It's not merely a motto from the past, it's our direction for the future! | ||
| You see, you all give me hope and you all have the power. | ||
| So let's use that power. | ||
| Let's do the hard work necessary to win this election and write the next chapter in our American story. | ||
| So are you ready to protect our rights? | ||
| Are you ready to secure our freedoms? | ||
| And are you ready to defend our democracy? | ||
| And are you ready to elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz? | ||
| America, let's get to work! | ||

| It falls to us to ensure that we do not fall, for a people that cannot stand together, | ||
| cannot stand at all. | ||

| For what defines a patriot is not just our love of liberty, but our love for one another. | ||
| That's so good! | ||
| That's so smart! | ||
| This is loud in our country's call because while we all love freedom, it is love that frees us all. | ||

|
unidentified

Freedom. | |
| There are people who want you to see our country as a nation of us against them. | ||
| People who want to scare you, who want to rule you. | ||
| People who'd have you believe that books are dangerous and assault rifles are safe. | ||
| That there's a white way to worship and a wrong way to love. | ||

People who seek first to divide and then to conquer. | |
| But here's the thing. | ||
| When we stand together, it is impossible to conquer us. | ||
| In the words of an extraordinary American, the late Congressman John Lewis, he said, | ||
| no matter what ship our ancestors arrived on, we are all in the same boat now. | ||

Thank you. | |

In what way? | |
| In what way? | ||
| They also knew that the work is not done. | ||
| The work will never be done because freedom isn't free. | ||
| America is an ongoing project. | ||
| It requires commitment. | ||
| It requires being open to the hard work and the heart work of democracy. | ||
| And every now and then, it requires standing up to life's bullies. | ||

I know this. | |

|
And sweet home Chicago, Illinois! | |
| W. Chicago. | ||
| I have actually traveled this country from the Redwood Forest, love those Redwoods, | ||
| to the Gulf Stream waters. | ||
| I I've seen racism and sexism and income inequality and division. | ||
| I've not only seen it, at times I've been on the receiving end of it. | ||
| But more often than not, What I witnessed and experienced are human beings, both conservative and liberal, who may not agree with each other, but who'd still help you in a heartbeat if you were in trouble. | ||
| These are the people who make me proud to say that I am an American. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They are the best of America. | |
| And despite what some would have you think, we are not so different from our neighbors. | ||
| When a house is on fire, we don't ask about the homeowner's race or religion. | ||
| We don't wonder Who their partner is or how they voted? | ||
| No! | ||
| We just try to do the best we can to save them. | ||
| And if the place happens to belong to a childless cat lady... Nice. | ||
| Well, we try to get that cat out too. | ||
| Because we are a country of people who work hard for the money. | ||
| We wish our brothers and sisters well, and we pray for peace. | ||
| We know all the old tricks and tropes that are designed to distract us from what actually matters, but we are beyond ridiculous tweets and lies and foolery. | ||
| These are complicated times, people, and they require adult conversation. | ||
| This is really adults. | ||
| And I welcome those conversations, because civilized debate is vital to democracy, and it is the best of America. | ||
| Yeah, after they censored everyone for a decade, practically. | ||
| Now over the last couple of nights, we have all seen brave people walk onto this stage and share their most private pain. | ||
| Amanda and Josh. | ||
| Caitlin, Hadley, they told us their stories of rape and incest and near-death experiences from having the state deny them the abortion that their doctor explained was medically necessary. | ||
| And they've told us these things for one reason, and that is to keep what happened to them from happening to anybody else. | ||
| Because if you do not have autonomy over this, over this, Oh really? | ||
|
unidentified
|
After the vaccine mandate? | |
| So ridiculous. | ||
| control when and how you so ridiculous to bring your children into this world | ||

and how they are raised and supported party of vaccine mandates talking about | |
| bodily autonomy so they could get abortions the women and men who are battling to keep us from going | ||
| back to a time of desperation and shame and stone-cold fear they are the new | ||
| freedom fighters And make no mistake, they are the best of America. | ||
| I want to talk now about somebody who's not with us tonight. | ||

. | |
| Tessie Prevost Williams was born in New Orleans not long after the Supreme Court ruled that segregated public schools were unconstitutional. | ||
| That was in 1954, same year I was born. | ||
| But I didn't have to head to first grade at the all-white McDonough 19 school with a U.S. | ||
| Marshal by my side like Tessie did. | ||
| And when I got to school, the building wasn't empty. | ||
| Like it was for Tessie. | ||
| You see, rather than allowing Madonna to be integrated, parents pulled their kids out of the school, leaving only Tessie and two other little black girls, Gayle Etienne and Leona Tate, to sit in a classroom with the windows papered over to block snipers from attacking their six-year-old bodies. | ||
| Tessie passed away six weeks ago, and I tell this story to honor her tonight, because she... She, like Ruby Bridges and her friends, Leona and Gail, the New Orleans Four, they were called, They broke barriers, and they paid dearly for it. | ||
| But it was the grace and guts and courage of women like Tessie Prevost Williams that paved the way for another young girl who, nine years later, became part of the second class to integrate the public schools in Berkeley, California. | ||
| And it seems to me That at school and at home, somebody did a beautiful job of showing this young girl how to challenge the people at the top and empower the people at the bottom. | ||
| They showed her how to look at the world and see not just what is, but what can be. | ||
| They instilled in her a passion for justice and freedom and the glorious fighting spirit necessary to pursue that passion. | ||
| And soon and very soon, we're going to be teaching our daughters and sons about how | ||
| this child of an Indian mother and a Jamaican father, two idealistic, energetic immigrants, | ||
| immigrants, how this child grew up to become the 47th President of the United States. | ||
| That is the future. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And we are going to be teaching our daughters and sons about how this child grew up to become | |
| That is the truth. | ||
| the 47th President of the United States. | ||
| That is the best of America! | ||
| You know, you know, let me tell you this. | ||
| This election isn't about us and them. | ||
| It's about you and me. | ||
| And what we want our futures to look like. | ||
| There are choices to be made when we cast our ballot. | ||
| Now there's a certain candidate that says if we just go to the polls this one time, that we'll never have to do it again. | ||
| Well, you know what? | ||
| You're looking at a registered independent who's proud to vote again and again and again because I'm an American and that's what Americans do. | ||
| Voting is the best of America. | ||
| And I have always, since I was eligible to vote, I've always voted my values. | ||
| And that is what is needed in this election now more than ever. | ||
| So I'm calling on all you independents and all you undecideds You know this is true. | ||
| You know I'm telling you the truth. | ||
| That values and character matter most of all. | ||
|
unidentified
|
In leadership and in life. | |
| And more than anything, you know this is true. | ||
| That decency and respect are on the ballot in 2024. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Decency. | |
| It's called being a decent fucking person. | ||
| Just plain common sense. | ||
| It's called being a decent fucking human being. | ||
| Common sense tells you that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz can give us decency and respect. | ||
| They're the ones to give it to us. | ||
|
unidentified

So, we are Americans. | |
| We are Americans. | ||
| Let us choose loyalty to the Constitution over loyalty to any individual. | ||

Because that's the best of America. | |
| And let us choose optimism over cynicism. | ||

unidentified

Because that's the best of America. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| And let us choose the sweet promise of tomorrow over the bitter return to yesterday. | ||
| We won't go back. | ||

unidentified
|
We're not going back. | |
| Thank you. | ||

| We're not going back. | ||
| So, let us choose. | ||
| Let us choose truth, let us choose honor, and let us choose joy! | ||
| Because that's the best of America! | ||

Thank you, Chicago! | |
| Thank you, America! | ||
| It's a good speech. | ||
| Super annoying, but good speech. | ||
| **applause** **thunder** | ||
| Here's what I want people to know about Tim Walz. | ||
| Well, everybody at Mankato West High School loved Tim Walls. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, Tim was jovial. | ||
| When he would start teaching, it was like full-contact teaching. | ||
| You could not help but be interested in what he was talking about. | ||
| He seemed to care about everybody in his class. | ||
| He knew everyone's name. | ||
| He wanted to know what interested you, how to engage you, what you were excited about, what you're feeling bad about. | ||
| Mr. Walls was my geography and social studies teacher. | ||
| Mr. Walls was my football coach. | ||
| My middle school basketball coach. | ||
| When we were doing the high school play, The Nerd, he was the person building the sets. | ||
| I don't think that there has ever been a moment where I've seen Tim exhausted from giving or engaging. | ||
| So who's up? | ||
| He's not even coming on yet. | ||
| We still got to get through Pete Buttigieg, Klobuchar, Wes Moore. | ||
| We saw him not only as a teacher, but a mentor and a leader. | ||
| Mr. Walls was a really big part in helping build this community, and he's a big reason why I became a teacher myself. | ||
| It was inspiring being in his classroom. | ||
| Please welcome Maryland Governor Wes Moore. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| On March 26th, at 1.30 in the morning, a container ship the length of three football fields slammed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, and the bridge collapsed. | ||
| A port that drives 13% of our state's economy was now closed. | ||
| Thousands of workers were hours away from waking up and realizing they no longer had a job. | ||
| Six Marylanders who had been on the bridge in the middle of the night fixing potholes lost their lives. | ||
| And one of the first phone calls that I got that morning started with these three words. | ||
| Gov, it's Kamala. | ||
| She said, I know you spoke to the president, and I want you to know we are here with you every step of the way. | ||
| Now, I joined the Army when I was 17. | ||
| In fact, I was too young to sign the paperwork. | ||
| I had to ask my mom to sign the paperwork for me because I don't have bone spurs. | ||
| I led soldiers in combat in Afghanistan. | ||
| And my training, my training taught me that you never learn anything about anybody when times are easy. | ||
| You learn everything you need to know about somebody when times are hard and when the temperature gets turned up. | ||
| and America, I saw that Kamala Harris is the right one to lead in this moment firsthand. | ||
| And united. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| you With the Almighty God's grace, we brought closure to the families of the six victims. | ||
| And while many said it could take 11 months to reopen the Port of Baltimore, | ||
| we got it done in 11 weeks. | ||
| Because that is the story of America. | ||
| you We are a nation of patriots who serve when the mission is hard and who serve when the destination is uncertain. | ||
| And I know our history isn't perfect. | ||
| The unevenness of the American journey has made some skeptical. | ||
| But I'm not asking you to give up your skepticism. | ||
| I just want that skepticism to be your companion and not your captor. | ||
| And I'm asking that you join us in the work. | ||
| Because making America great doesn't mean telling people you're not wanted. | ||
| And loving your country does not mean lying about its history. | ||
| Making America great means saying the ambitions of this country would be incomplete without your help. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| It's the legacy of those six workers who fixed potholes on a bridge while we slept. | ||
| who were born in a different country, but who knew that America was big enough for them too. | ||
| It's the journey. | ||
| It's the journey. | ||
| It's the journey of a man raised by a remarkable immigrant single mom, a man who felt handcuffs | ||
| on his wrist at 11 years old, who now stands before you as the 63rd governor of Maryland | ||
| and the first black governor in the history of our state. | ||
| It's the story. | ||
| It's the story of a prosecutor who defended our freedoms and had Maryland's back when we needed it most. | ||
| And now, MVP, we've got your back as well. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| It's my fellow veteran. | ||
| My brother and the next Vice President of the United States, Tim Walz. | ||
| And now, Tim knows that in the military, you count the days towards mission completion. | ||
| So guess what, y'all? | ||
| We have got 75 days and a wake-up until Election Day. | ||
| Seventy-five days and a wake-up for us to prove what Americans can do when the pressure is on. | ||
| Seventy-five days and a wake-up for us to show that true patriots do not whine and complain. | ||
| We put our heads down and we get to work. | ||
| Seventy-five days and a wake-up to build a future that those who came before us hoped for. | ||
| and those who come after us that they deserve. | ||
| And 75 days and a wake up to elect a leader who was willing to believe in the best of us | ||
| and that leader is Kamala Harris, the next president of the United States. | ||
| Thank you, God bless you, and let's leave no one behind. | ||
| Lame. | ||
| Please welcome former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg. | ||
| Thank you, God bless you, and let's leave no one behind. | ||
| Mayor Pete! | ||
| Nice. | ||
| Thank you! | ||
| Good evening, Democrats! | ||
| Thank you, Chicago! | ||
| Here's a sentence I never thought I'd hear myself saying. | ||
| I'm Pete Buttigieg, and you might recognize me from Fox News. | ||
| I believe in going anywhere. | ||
| Anywhere. | ||
| In service of a good cause and friends we gather in a very good cause | ||
| electing Kamala Harris and Tim Walz the next president and vice president of the United States. | ||
| The choice could not be clearer. | ||
| Donald Trump rants about law and order, as if he wasn't a convicted criminal running against a prosecutor. | ||
| As if we were going to forget that crime was higher on his watch. | ||
| Talks about the forgotten man. | ||
| Hoping we'll forget that the only economic promise that he actually kept was to cut taxes for the rich. | ||
| And don't even get me started on his new running mate. | ||
| I love how everybody just laughs. | ||

|
At least Mike Pence was polite. | |
| J.D. | ||
| Vance is one of those guys who thinks if you don't live the life that he has in mind for you, then you don't count. | ||
| Someone who said that if you don't have kids, you have, quote, no physical commitment to the future of this country. | ||
| You know, Senator, When I deployed to Afghanistan, I didn't have kids then. | ||
| Many of the men and women who went outside the wire with me didn't have kids either. | ||
| But let me tell you, our commitment to the future of this country was pretty damn physical. | ||
| Choosing a guy like J.D. | ||
| Vance to be America's next vice president sends a message, and the message is that they are doubling down on negativity and grievance. | ||
| Committing to a concept of campaigning best summed up in one word, darkness. | ||
| Darkness is what they are selling. | ||
| The thing is, I just don't believe that America today is in the market for darkness. | ||
| I believe America is ready for a better kind of politics. | ||
| Yes, politics at its worst can be ugly, crushing, demeaning. | ||
| But it doesn't have to be. | ||
| At its best, politics can be empowering, uplifting. | ||
| It can even be a kind of soul craft. | ||
| My faith teaches me that the world isn't made up of good people and bad people. | ||
| But rather that each of us is capable of good and bad things. | ||
| And I believe leaders matter because of what they bring out in each of us, the good or the bad. | ||
| Right now, the other side is appealing to what is smallest within you. | ||
| They're telling you that greatness comes from going back to the past. | ||
| They're telling you that anyone different from you is a threat. | ||
| They're telling you that your neighbor, or nephew, or daughter, who disagrees with you politically, isn't just wrong, but is now the enemy. | ||
| What? | ||
| Wow. | ||
| I believe in a better politics. | ||
| One that finds us at our most decent, and open, and brave. | ||
| Yeah, that's the Republicans who do that. | ||
| The kind of politics that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are offering. | ||
| And as you have felt these many days, that kind of politics also just feels better to be part of. | ||
| There is joy in it, as well as power. | ||
| And if all of that sounds naive, let me insist that I have come to this view not by way of idealism, but by way of experience. | ||
| Not just the experience of my unlikely career. | ||
| Someone like me, serving in Indiana, serving in Washington, serving in uniform. | ||
| I'm thinking of something much more basic. | ||
| I'm thinking of dinner time at our house in Michigan. | ||
| When the dog is barking, and the air fryer is beeping, and the mac and cheese is boiling over, and it feels like all the political negotiating experience in the world is not enough for me to get our three-year-old son and our three-year-old daughter to just wash their hands and sit at the table. | ||
| What a nightmare. | ||
| It's the part of our day when politics seems the most distant, and yet the makeup of our kitchen table, | ||
| the existence of my family, is just one example of something that was literally impossible | ||
| as recently as 25 years ago when an anxious teenager growing up in Indiana | ||
| wondered if he would ever find belonging in this world. | ||
| This kind of life went from impossible to possible, from possible to real, | ||
| from real to almost ordinary in less than half a lifetime. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| But that didn't just happen. | ||
| It was brought about through idealism and courage, through organizing and persuasion and storytelling, and yes, through politics. | ||
| The right kind of politics. | ||
| The kind of politics that can make an impossible dream into an everyday reality. | ||
| I don't presume to know what it's like in your kitchen, but I know, as sure as I am standing here, that everything in it The bills you pay at that table, the shape of the family that sits there, the fears and the dreams that you talk about late into the night there. | ||
| All of it compels us to demand more from our politics than a rerun of some TV wrestling deathmatch. | ||
| I want the wrestling. | ||
| I don't know about you guys, I want the wrestling deathmatch. | ||
| So this November, we get to choose. | ||
| We get to choose our president. | ||
| We get to choose our policies, but most of all, we will choose a better politics. | ||
| Disgusting dirty dog barking to adopted artificial children. | ||
| Male-on-male blowjobs. | ||
| And they call that normal. | ||
| Just a normal dinner table. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't think so. | |
| I want darkness and wrestling deathmatch. | ||
| The leaders who are out there building bridges and reject the ones who are out there banning books. | ||
| This is what we will work for every day to November and beyond. | ||
| So let's go win this. | ||
| Thank you Democrats. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| He's so evil. | ||
| And the normalization of that lifestyle is actually more sick. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Than the more radical ones. | |
| Yeah, I don't know, man. | ||
| Pete Buttigieg is really deeply evil. | ||
| to Congress and then becoming governor, I see the guy that was a first sergeant. I see | ||
| a guy that's full of energy, always busy. And like he says, yeah, I don't know, man. | ||
| I first met Governor Walz and Congressman Walz when I was transitioning out of the Marine | ||
| Corps. Pete Buttigieg is really deeply evil. You would have to be. Was of those that were | ||
| actually using the GI Bill. And that's really the whole thing is it really is like a war | ||
| on morality now. Like now more than ever. | ||
| When the Democrats are making it about family, but it's like the inversion of family, that's literally what they're running on. | ||
| That was part of it for a long time at first, very quietly, and then slowly more vocally. | ||
| Now that's what they're running on. | ||
| It's center stage. | ||
| When they say Republicans are banning books, they're talking about books that talk about pornography, masturbation, gay sex. | ||
| Because Republicans banning books, like for example in Florida, it's books that teach kids how to masturbate. | ||
| So when they say we're running on freedom to let your kids read the books, they're talking about books that teach your kids to jerk off. | ||
| When they say freedom to do what you want with your body, they're talking about killing babies and abortion. | ||
| Shape of the Family and Dinner Table are talking about lesbians, gays, and they're running on that. | ||
| They're running on, like, this new, the modern family. | ||
| It's like evil is on the ballot. | ||
|

|
Alright, what's this now? | |
| Pharrell? | ||
| No, it's John. | ||
| I always get him confused. | ||
|
unidentified
|
John Legend and Pharrell. | |
| It looks too similar. | ||
| I wish you would sing ordinary people. | ||
| Oh, God. | ||
| Seems like that would be more fitting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But yeah. | |
| No, I mean, literally, it's evil on the ballot. | ||
| Those are the, like, those are all their issues. | ||
| Aside from unions, you know, unions are what they are. | ||
| That's the other big thing they're pushing, but the rest of it is literally they're just running on evil. | ||
| And their conception of freedom, which they're taking from Republicans, is just freedom to be evil. | ||
| You know, that whole speech was like, hey man, worship how you want or not. | ||
| Did you hear that? | ||
| I think they said that on Monday or Tuesday. | ||
| It was in one of the speeches. | ||
| I think it was Hillary Clinton. | ||
| But they said something like, your ability to worship how you want or not. | ||
| So they're basically defending atheism, abortion, homosexuality, pornography. | ||
| That's what's on the ballot. | ||
| There's nothing about foreign policy, have you noticed that? | ||
| They barely talk about Ukraine. | ||
| The only one that I heard talk about in any meaningful way Foreign policy was Bill Clinton, which makes sense. | ||
| But it's been scarce mention of the Middle East conflict, anything about Ukraine, which is weird because that, you know, is really such a huge part of Biden's term. | ||
| The only policy they've really talked about is infrastructure in the service of an attack on Trump. | ||
| And then the rest of it is the Project 2025 and J.D. | ||
| Vance against the social issues. | ||
| So it's literally just like, do you want a satanic America or do you want a Christian America? | ||
| Or a less, I should say, a less satanic America. | ||
| Because they disavowed Project 2025. | ||
| It's like, do you want a satanic America where anything goes? | ||
| Or do you want an America where slightly less goes? | ||
|

|
Alright, now what? | |
| I just want to say I feel so motivated after tonight. | ||
| It's like never been more clear that if Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are elected this November, | ||
| they're going to protect our freedoms. | ||
| The freedom to read whatever books you want. | ||
| There it is. | ||
| The freedom to work one job and afford your rent. | ||
| And Kamala Harris and Tim Walz will protect your freedom to start a family on your own | ||
| There it is. | ||
| And if you ask me, that is something worth fighting for. | ||
| So guys, let's do it. | ||
| It's time. | ||
| Let's nominate the next Vice President of the United States, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. | ||
| And to take us there, and to take us there, please welcome to the stage Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| That was a warm-up act. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| On behalf of the great state of Minnesota, where purple reigns, I stand before you in support of our next Vice President, Tim Walz. | ||
| In Minnesota, we trust a coach who turned a team that was 0-27 into state champions. | ||
| In Minnesota, we trust a hunter who has stood in a deer stand in 10-degree weather. | ||
| In Minnesota, we trust a candidate who has made a viral video on how to change a burnt-out headlight. | ||
| And I know we aren't alone. | ||
| But in Minnesota, we love a dad in plaid. | ||
| So Tim and I go way back. | ||
| He taught high school right down the road from where my husband John grew up. | ||
| My mother-in-law even brought him and Gwen a Parmesan chicken dinner when their son was born. | ||
| That's what we do in America. | ||
| We look out for our neighbors. | ||
| Tim has been doing that his whole life, on the farm and in the factory, with his students and his fellow service members. | ||
| And the truth is, that matters. | ||
| Who better to take on the price of gas than a guy who could pull over to help change your tire? | ||
| Who better to serve our nation than a guy who has served in uniform? | ||
| Who better to find common ground than a guy with Midwestern common sense? | ||
| A former football coach knows how to level the playing field. | ||
| And a former public school teacher knows how to school the likes of J.D. | ||
| advance. | ||
| What you've done with your life matters. | ||
| And what you do with power matters, too. | ||
| Tim has delivered paid leave, school lunches, and the biggest tax cut in Minnesota history. | ||
| A Democrat from a red district in a purple state, Tim has brought Minnesota together. | ||
| And together with Vice President Kamala Harris, I know he will do the same for our nation. | ||
| America, there is so much that we share, so much that connects us. | ||
| Way up north in Minnesota, out of Lake Itasca, It flows the Mississippi River. | ||
| It starts small and it grows wider. | ||
| It flows down to Wisconsin. | ||
| And to Iowa. | ||
| It goes down to Illinois. | ||
| And to Missouri. | ||
| It goes to Kentucky. | ||
| And Tennessee. | ||
| It goes to Arkansas, and it goes way down to Mississippi, and then it goes all the way down to New Orleans, Louisiana, where the spirit of our nation's resilience abounds. | ||
| So let us commit here and now to cross the river of our divides to get to a higher ground. | ||
| and let us join together to elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. | ||
| Please welcome Ben Engman from Minnesota. | ||
| you you | ||
| Tim Walz is the kind of guy you can count on to push you out of a snowbank. | ||
| I know this because Tim Walz has pushed me out of a snowbank. | ||
| I grew up next door to the Wallses in Mankato. | ||
| Mr. Walls was also my geography teacher and my coach. | ||
| Not for high school football, but for 7th grade basketball and track. | ||
| So, what was a high school football coach doing coaching 7th grade basketball and track? | ||
| Well, there was a kid in the high school who couldn't afford to pay for lunch, and he ran up a lot of debt. | ||
| And Tim and Gwen decided they'd help pay it off. | ||
| They started calling around the district to see if there were any positions they could fill to make a little extra money, and that's how he wound up coaching us 7th graders. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| That's a story that doesn't make any sense at all. | ||
| Coach Walls got us excited about what we might achieve together. | ||
| He believed in us, and he helped us believe in each other. | ||
| And his leadership stuck. | ||
| That track team went on to win a state title, just like the football team. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Speaking of which, come on out, Scarletts! | ||
| This is really sad. | ||
| I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do here. I'm just going to sit here and watch. | ||
| I'm a bad boy, I'm a bad boy, I'm a bad boy. | ||
| This is really like depressing and lame and weird. | ||
| You know, all this got me thinking about the kinds of leaders we need. | ||
| We want the people in charge to be genuine, compassionate, and trustworthy. | ||
| The thing is, there are people in our neighborhoods who fit this description. | ||
| The kind of people who display quiet leadership by helping kids pay for their lunches, by bringing teams together to believe in each other. | ||
| And when we're stuck in the snow, they push us out. | ||
| While in my neighborhood— How many times are they going to say this about the fucking snow? | ||
| We always wish that people like that would run for office. | ||
| Well, in my neighborhood, someone like that did run for office. | ||
| And he's going to be a wonderful vice president. | ||
| Thanks very much. | ||
| Out here in the wide open spaces, we are reminded of the values we share, a commitment to | ||
| community, country and standing up for what's right. | ||
| Tim Walls grew up in a small town in Nebraska. | ||
| It's so horny, man. | ||
| family farm. | ||
| He'll help you out of the snow! | ||
| We're Midwesterners! | ||
| He's an Egyptian! | ||
| Honey! | ||
| Like a real guy! | ||
| He's an Egyptian Hunni! | ||
| Like a real guy! | ||
| So stupid. | ||
| Rising to command sergeant major. | ||
| Tim went to college on the GI bill and became a social studies teacher. | ||
| That's where Tim and I met. | ||
| We shared a classroom with a divider right down the middle. | ||
| His classroom was a lot louder than mine, but I could hear how engaged his students were. | ||
| Tim taught for over 15 years, and he coached football, helping lead the team to a state championship after zero wins just a few years before. | ||
| Tim taught them how to believe in themselves, and that we're all in this together. | ||
| When one of our students started the school's Gay-Straight Alliance, Tim agreed to serve as faculty advisor because he knew how impactful it would be to have a football coach involved. | ||
| He inspired his students, and he changed lives. | ||
| He is just so joyful in everything that he does, but I think also standing up for, you know, what he believes to be right, stands up to bullies. | ||
| Then, Tim's students inspired him to run for Congress in southern Minnesota. | ||
| Tim spent a lot of time working with Republicans, fighting to help farmers and expanding veterans' benefits. | ||
| Whether it was in Congress or as governor, his focus has always been helping working people like those he grew up with. | ||
| That's why he fought for the largest tax cut in Minnesota state history. | ||
| But Tim Walz was there for small businesses like ours. | ||
| With the urging of Governor Walz, we were able to pass the Alex Smith Insulin Affordability Act, and it has saved lives in Minnesota. | ||
| With Tim as governor, Minnesota is one of the best places to raise a family, and one of the best states for business. | ||
| Tim's a lifelong hunter and gun owner. | ||
| But after the Sandy Hook school shooting, he knew that we had to do something. | ||
| So he's fought for background checks and red flag laws. | ||
| But of all the things he's done, Tim loves being a dad. | ||
| We struggled to have kids. | ||
| And fertility treatments made it possible. | ||
| There's a reason our daughter is named Hope. | ||
| Hope and Gus mean the world to us. | ||
| Governor Walz making good on a promise to his son and family yesterday by getting them a puppy. | ||
| Then we're gonna go get some food. | ||

He's as at home on a farm, a fishing boat, a football field, or a factory floor as he is on the floor of Congress. | |
| Tim's commitment to service all comes back to the values we grew up with. | ||
| Love your country, help your neighbor, and fight for what's right. | ||
| Because that's what America is all about. | ||

USA! USA! USA! | |
| Please welcome the Democratic nominee for Vice President, Governor Tim Walz. | ||
| I was born in a small town, and I live in a small town. | ||
| I've been dying in a small town. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. | ||
| Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. | ||
| Thank you. Thank you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| you Thank you, first of all, to Vice President Harris. | ||
| Thanks for putting your trust in me and for inviting me to be part of this incredible campaign. | ||
| And a thank you to President Joe Biden for four years of strong historic leadership. | ||
| It's the honor of my life to accept your nomination for Vice President of the United States. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| We're all here tonight for one beautiful, simple reason. | ||
| We love this country. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Pardon me? | |
| So thank you to all of you here in Chicago and all of you watching at home tonight. | ||
| Thank you for your passion. | ||
| Thank you for your determination. | ||
| And most of all, thank you for bringing the joy to this fight. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The joy. | |
| Now, I grew up in Butte, Nebraska, a town of 400 people. | ||
| I had 24 kids in my high school class, and none of them went to Yale. | ||
|
unidentified
|
W. Actually a W to say that. | |
| I'll tell you what, growing up in a small town like that, you learn how to take care of each other. | ||
| That family down the road, they may not think like you do, they may not pray like you do, they may not love like you do, but they're your neighbors. | ||
| And you look out for them, and they look out for you. | ||
| Everybody belongs, and everybody has a responsibility to contribute. | ||
| For me, it was serving in the Army National Guard. | ||
| I joined up two days after my 17th birthday, and I proudly wore our nation's uniform for 24 years. | ||
| My dad, a Korean War-era Army veteran, died of lung cancer a couple years later. | ||
| He left behind a mountain of medical debt. | ||
| Thank God for Social Security survivor benefits. | ||
| And thank God for the GI Bill that allowed my dad and me to go to college, and millions of other Americans. | ||
| Eventually, like the rest of my family, I fell in love with teaching. | ||
| Three out of four of us married teachers. | ||
| I wound up teaching social studies and coaching football at Mankato West High School. | ||
| Go Scarlets! | ||
|
unidentified
|
I like him more than Vance. | |
| That's for sure. | ||
| We ran a 44 defense. | ||
| We played through to the whistle on every single play. | ||
| And we even won a state championship. | ||
| Never closed the yearbook, people. | ||
| But it was those players and my students who inspired me to run for Congress. | ||
| They saw in me what I had hoped to instill in them. | ||
| A commitment to the common good. | ||
| An understanding that we're all in this together. | ||
| And the belief that a single person can make a real difference for their neighbors. | ||
| So there I was, a 40-something high school teacher, with little kids, zero political experience, and no money, running in a deep red district. | ||
| But you know what? | ||
| Never underestimate a public school teacher. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Never. | |
| I represented my neighbors in Congress for 12 years, and I learned an awful lot. | ||
| I learned how to work across the aisle on issues like growing the rural economies and taking care of veterans. | ||
| And I learned how to compromise without compromising my values. | ||
| Then I came back to serve as governor, and we got right to work, making a difference in our neighbors' lives. | ||
| We cut taxes for the middle class. | ||
| We passed paid family and medical leave. | ||
| We invested in fighting crime and affordable housing. | ||
| We cut the cost of prescription drugs and helped people escape the kind of medical debt that nearly sank my family. | ||
| And we made sure that every kid in our state gets breakfast and lunch every day. | ||
| So while other states were banning books from their schools, we were banishing hunger from ours. | ||
| We also protected reproductive freedom, because in Minnesota, we respect our neighbors and the personal | ||
| choices they make. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah! | |
| And even if we wouldn't make those same choices for ourselves, we've got a golden rule. | ||
| Mind your own damn business! | ||
| And that includes IVF and fertility treatments. | ||
| And this is personal for Gwen and I. If you've never experienced the hell that is infertility, I guarantee you, you know somebody who has. | ||
| And I can remember praying each night for a phone call. | ||
| The pit in your stomach when the phone had rang, and the absolute agony when we heard the treatments hadn't worked. | ||
| It took Gwen and I years, but we had access to fertility treatments. | ||
| And when our daughter was born, we named her Hope. | ||
| Hope, Gus, and Gwen, you are my entire world, and I love you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm letting you in. | |
| That's kind of touching. | ||
| We started a family. | ||
| Because this is a big part about what this election is about. | ||
| Freedom! | ||
| When Republicans use the word freedom, they mean that the government should be free to invade your doctor's office. | ||
| Corporations, free to pollute your air and water. | ||
| And banks, free to take advantage of customers. | ||
| But when we Democrats talk about freedom, we mean the freedom to make a better life for yourself and the people that you love. | ||
| Freedom to make your own health care decisions. | ||
| And yeah, your kid's freedom to go to school without worrying about being shot dead in the hall. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Look, I know guns. | |
| I'm a veteran. | ||
| I'm a hunter. | ||
| And I was a better shot than most Republicans in Congress, and I got the trophies to prove it. | ||
| But I'm also a dad. | ||
| I believe in the Second Amendment, but I also believe our first responsibility is to keep our kids safe. | ||
| That's what this is all about. | ||
| The responsibility we have to our kids, to each other, and to the future that we're building together, in which everyone is free to build the kind of life they want. | ||
| But not everyone has that same sense of responsibility. | ||
| Some folks just don't understand what it takes to be a good neighbor. | ||
| Take Donald Trump and J.D. | ||
| Vance. | ||
| Their Project 2025 will make things much, much harder for people who are just trying to live their lives. | ||
| They spent a lot of time pretending they know nothing about this. | ||
| But look, I coached high school football long enough to know, and trust me on this, when somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they're going to use it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I wish. | |
| And we know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I wish you were right. | |
| If these guys get back in the White House, they'll start jacking up the cost on the middle class, they'll repeal the Affordable Care Act, they'll gut Social Security and Medicare, and they will ban abortion across this country, with or without Congress. | ||
| Here's the thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I wish. | |
| It's an agenda nobody asked for. | ||
| It's an agenda that serves nobody except the richest and the most extreme amongst us. | ||
| And it's an agenda that does nothing for our neighbors in need. | ||
| Is it weird? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| But it's also wrong. | ||
| And it's dangerous. | ||
| It's not just me saying so. | ||
| It's Trump's own people. | ||
| They were with him for four years. | ||
| They're warning us that the next four years will be much, much worse. | ||
| You know, when I was teaching, every year we'd elect a student body president. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| Those teenagers could teach Donald Trump a hell of a lot about what a leader is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
My three-year-old. | |
| Leaders don't spend all day insulting people and blaming others. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Leaders do the work. | |
| Yeah, don't be mean. | ||
| So I don't know about you. | ||
| I'm ready to turn the page on these guys. | ||
| So go ahead, say it with me. | ||
| We're not going back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Crowd chanting, no more banks! | |
| We've got something better to offer the American people. | ||
| It starts with our candidate, Kamala Harris. | ||
| From her first day as a prosecutor, as a district attorney, as an attorney general, as a United States senator, and then our vice president, she's fought on the side of the American people. | ||
| She's taken on the predators and fraudsters. | ||
| She's taken down the transnational gangs. | ||
| And she stood up to powerful corporate interests. | ||
| She has never hesitated to reach across that aisle if it meant improving your lives. | ||
| And she's always done it. | ||
| With energy, with passion, and with joy. | ||
| Folks, we've got a chance to make Kamala Harris the next president of the United States. | ||
| But I think we owe it to the American people to tell them exactly what she'd do as president | ||
| before we ask them for their votes. | ||
| So here, this is the part. | ||
| Clip and save it and send it to your undecided relatives so they know. | ||
| If you're a middle-class family or a family trying to get into the middle class, Kamala Harris is going to cut your taxes. | ||
| If you're getting squeezed by prescription drug prices, Kamala Harris is going to take on Big Pharma. | ||
| If you're hoping to buy a home, Kamala Harris is gonna help make it more affordable. | ||
| And no matter who you are, Kamala Harris is gonna stand up and fight for your freedom to live the life that you want to lead. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She will? | |
| For me? | ||
| Because that's what we want for ourselves, and it's what we want for our neighbors. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I seriously doubt that. | |
| You know, you might not know it, but I haven't given a lot of big speeches like this. | ||
| But I have given a lot of pep talks. | ||
| So let me finish with this team. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's the fourth quarter. | |
| We're down a field goal. | ||
| But we're on offense and we've got the ball. | ||
| We're driving down the field. | ||
| And boy do we have the right team. | ||
| Kamala Harris is tough, Kamala Harris is experienced, and Kamala Harris is ready. | ||
| Our job, our job, our job, our job for everyone watching is to get in the trenches and do the blocking and tackling. | ||
| One inch at a time. | ||
| One yard at a time. | ||
| One phone call at a time. | ||
| One door knock at a time. | ||
| One $5 donation at a time. | ||
| Look, we got 76 days. | ||
| That's nothing. | ||
| There'll be time to sleep when you're dead. | ||
| We're gonna leave it on the field. | ||
| That's how we'll keep moving forward. | ||
| That's how we'll turn the page on Donald Trump. | ||
| That's how we'll build a country where workers come first. | ||
| Healthcare and housing are human rights. | ||
| And the government stays the hell out of your bedroom. | ||
| That's how we make America a place where no child is left hungry, where no community | ||
| is left behind, where nobody gets told they don't belong. | ||
| That's how we're going to fight. | ||
| And as the next president of the United States always says, when we fight, we win. | ||
|

When we fight, we win. | |
| When we fight, we win. | ||

Thanks for watching. | |
| Is there something wrong with this kid or what? | ||
| He seems a little too excited. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe he's just overwhelmed with emotion. | |
| But it seems like it's a little much. | ||
| Hate that tattoo! | ||
| But she's wearing the dress! | ||
| She's wearing the trad dress! | ||
| His daughter is the girl Wojak. | ||
|
unidentified
|
His daughter's the female... His daughter's the sundress Wojak, right? | |
| I hate the tattoo, though. | ||
| Yeah, it's incredible. | ||
| In 2020 and 2024, they're deeply radical. | ||
| Don't get me wrong. | ||
| Compared to what Democrats were 10 or 15 years ago, they're obviously so radical. | ||
| They're for open borders. | ||
| They're giving endless money to Ukraine. | ||
| They want a war with Russia. | ||
| Readying the nuclear arsenal. | ||
| Economic agenda, deceptively, is radical. | ||
| Price controls, capital gains tax, tax on unrealized gains. | ||
| So it is a pretty radical program. | ||
| But in the last two cycles, they are literally just cosplaying as Republicans. | ||
| Joe Biden is like a skin suit of Trump. | ||
| He would be like the public sector analog to Trump. | ||
| They're same age, similar ethnicity. | ||
| But Biden is the tough Irish union guy, Democrat party man for 50 years, whereas Trump was the big New York City real estate developer. | ||
| And I've talked about this a lot, I think in 2020. | ||
| They brought Biden on to relate more or not to be as off-putting to the white people in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan, or even Georgia or Arizona for that matter, and I think it worked. | ||
| And in 2024, they're thematically doing the same thing. | ||
| They had to have Kamala because of money in order to keep the hundred and some million dollars, probably because she's a presumptive one. | ||
| She is a black woman. | ||
| But they're compensating for that with Walls, who they're propping up as the, you know, Midwestern coach, who's gonna help push your car out of the snow, and he's a good neighbor, and real folksy, and I think that's authentic. | ||
| I think that's real. | ||
| They're trying to say he's a fake. | ||
| I think he's genuine. | ||
| I think he seems like a genuine guy. | ||
| He, look, he's a normie. | ||
| A lot of normies of that generation are very liberal. | ||
| You know, how old is he? | ||
| He's gotta be, what, in his 60s? | ||
| Okay, 60. | ||
| So he's really on the cusp of boomers, Gen X. A lot of those guys are liberal. | ||
| And if you know a lot of people in the Midwest, and I do, I'm from the suburbs of Chicago, I know a lot of people just like him. | ||
| I'm not from Minnesota. | ||
| You know, I'm from the suburbs of Chicago, but it's the same deal. | ||
| I know a lot of people that are like... I know people that are from Nebraska that are like that. | ||
| I know a lot of Midwesterners who are the same M.O. | ||
| And they're teachers, they're into the teachers union, and they're super fucking liberal, and they support unions, and they're liberal on social issues. | ||
| I know a lot of- so that's real. | ||
| I think that's genuine. | ||
| And it's not even just him, but it's the themes. | ||
| You know, it's this song. | ||
| Keep rocking in the free world. | ||
| Oprah Winfrey goes up and says, I'm a proud American. | ||
| I'm an American. | ||
| They weren't saying that four years ago. | ||
| Four years ago, they were kneeling for the flag, burning the flag. | ||
| It was all the BLM, anti-white. | ||
| Tearing down the statues. | ||
| So they've really pivoted to embrace, uh, it's kind of a fusion. | ||
| They've kind of married progressivism to liberalism to, you know, a version of patriotism that doesn't compete with those things. | ||
| And so they found a way to pitch freedom and the flag in a way that is inclusive, in a way that is collectivist. | ||
| They're pitching American greatness as this big, gay, immigrant empire. | ||
| That's the pitch. | ||
| They found a version of America that they love, and it's based on civil rights movement and MLK and Stonewall, and their version of freedom is freedom to be a complete degenerate or a third-way feminist. | ||
| And now they're just sort of, it seems like they've gotten over the antipathy towards white people, and they found a way to put white people on the plantation, a very patronizing way, where they say, you know, we can bring in the white, now that the white male has been neutered, we can bring him in as long as they're pro-gay, pro-black, deferential to women. | ||
| And that's the playbook. | ||
| And we'll see how effective that will be. | ||
| I don't know if people are buying it. | ||
| We need to talk to people. | ||
| I think people are. | ||
| Because Kamala is polling way ahead in Wisconsin, way ahead in Michigan. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So I think it's working. | |
| Trump is up on average, I think, one point in Pennsylvania, but Kamala's up in Michigan. | ||
| I think it's a statistical tie in Wisconsin. | ||
| So it seems like they brought back the Rust Belt, and I think, you know, maybe that has something to do with the VP pick and the thematic changes. | ||
| But I think they recognize they have a white problem, you know. | ||
| The Democrats recognize that they're not quite there yet where they can fully replace white people with blacks, Hispanics, Asians, women. | ||
| And so in 20 and 24, the goal is to appear less threatening to white males, white females, less educated white people. | ||
| And that is by kind of throwing them a bone a little bit. | ||
| And that's what this represents. | ||
| That's what it's been for the past couple of days. | ||
| And even with the Republicans, they consistently said tonight, we're not Republican, we're not Democrat. | ||
| They had Republicans on stage bashing Trump. | ||
| They're trying to isolate Trump and say, excuse me, excuse me. | ||
| They're trying to say, you know, Trump is an anomaly. | ||
| Trump is an anomaly. | ||
| Trump is like a special category of Republican, which is especially bad in the hopes that they can appeal to moderate conservatives or independents. | ||
| I think it's a good playbook. | ||
| I think they kind of recognized that wokeism and anti-white was pushing people away. | ||
| And it's not that they got rid of it, they just became quiet about it. | ||
| They didn't get rid of wokeism, they just sort of realized that they had to not be as aggressive. | ||
| because it was too electorally costly. | ||

| you Growing up on the block with Mamie Teal, serving alongside CTU President Stacey Davis-Gates, walking past the childhood home of Senator Carol Moseley-Bronze, I know that women from the 6th Ward on the South Side of Chicago have changed the world. | ||
| On the eve of the first black woman receiving nomination for the President of the United States, God, we are ready to fight for freedoms. | ||
| Division is the tool of the insecure. | ||
| Hatred is a misunderstanding of love. | ||
| Help us to come together and paint a brighter future. | ||
| The one that Shirley Chisholm dreamt of, Maya Angelou spoke of. | ||
| And let there be peace tonight. | ||
| Peace in Palestine. | ||
| Peace for Palestinians. | ||
| Peace for Israelis. | ||
| When we come together, we win. | ||
| When we serve together, we change lives. | ||
| Tonight, by faith, we rise together. | ||
| Tonight, by faith, we work together. | ||
| Tonight, by faith, we get in formation together. | ||
| We will not wait to November. | ||
| But by faith, we will shout in victory tonight. | ||
| As a Hindu, a Sikh, and an Angeleno coming from Tongva lands, I invite you to pray or reflect. | ||
| In Sikhi, Waheguru is Nirbhau and Nirvair, the one without fear and without hatred. | ||
| If the divine possesses these qualities with making the universe, then we are responsible to achieve equity with those same values. | ||
| As a Hindu, I'm reminded that divisiveness is a choice because our dharam, our duty, is towards all of humanity and nature. | ||
| We are working towards righting the wrongs of our past and preventing a future harm, paving a path for restoration we deserve. | ||
| May justice and peace evolve from their status as empty words to become calls to action against the status quo of | ||
| oppression. | ||
| Om Shanti Shanti Shanti Hi. | ||
| Nanak Nam Chardi Kala. Tere Pane Sarpatata Pala. | ||
| Total Freak Show. | ||
| Guys, 300 pounds. | ||
| 600 pounds. | ||
| and this asshole. | ||
| Alright. | ||
| For those of you who are left, I've got a question. | ||
| Is there a motion to recess our convention? | ||
| Oh, you guys are moving me! | ||
| Is there a second? | ||
| Okay, before I ask for the final vote, I can't, I don't have my phone, I can't do a selfie. | ||
| Some people are asking me for a selfie. | ||
| All those in favor, say aye. | ||
| All those opposed, say nay. | ||
| In the eyes of the chair, the ayes have it. | ||
| We are now officially recessed until 5 30 p.m. | ||
| tomorrow. | ||
| Folks, it's closing time. | ||
| I don't care where you go, but you can't stay here. | ||
| I love you. All right. | ||
| the road. | ||
| Well, there you go. | ||
| The third day of the DNC has finally ended. | ||
| Thank God it's going to be over tomorrow. | ||
| I'm going to talk a little bit more about the convention. | ||
| We'll take super chats so the stream is not over. | ||
| But before I do, in case people are going to start filing out, I want to remind everybody to follow me here on Rumble. | ||
| Smash the follow button. | ||
| Leave a like and a comment. | ||
| Normally I'm on the air every Monday through Friday at 8 o'clock. | ||
| Excuse me, 8 o'clock Central Time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let me just, yeah, let's reset this. | |
| So normally I'm on the air 8 o'clock Central Time every weeknight. | ||
| This week only, we're doing these all-night streams covering the DNC. | ||
| I'll be back tomorrow with my final night of coverage. | ||
| Tomorrow, Kamala Harris will speak. | ||
| It'll be the biggest night so far. | ||
| So make sure to tune in tomorrow at 6 o'clock Central Time. | ||
| Last night of the DNC. | ||
| Uh, so with that... Yeah, like I said, I, um... | ||
| Tonight, it was a lot of, just like yesterday, platitudes, a lot of rhetoric. | ||
| It's interesting. | ||
| This campaign, they really only have two issues. | ||
| The contrast is pretty incredible. | ||
| On the Republican side, there was a theme every night, and the themes were based on the issues. | ||
| The first night was about the economy. | ||
| The second night was about the military, crime. | ||
| Third night was about immigration and crime. | ||
| And the last night was about everything, I guess. | ||
| Last night was Make America Great Again, and so they had a lot of celebrities and things like that. | ||
| But each night was about the issues, and if you could ask somebody, what is the Trump campaign about, for better or for worse, you would say, it's about inflation. | ||
| It's about the economy. | ||
| It's about gas prices. | ||
| You could say it's about ending World War III. | ||
| It's about the border. | ||
| Like, these would be the big issues that you would talk about if you were asked what the GOP platform is actually about. | ||
| This convention, I don't really know what it's about other than one or two things. | ||
| The most prominent thing, first of all, there's no themes. | ||
| There are, technically, if you look up the DNC lineup, every night they had a slogan. | ||
| So, for example, if you go on the New York Times website, I don't know if they have it on here or if they have it on a different one. | ||
| Let me take a look real quick. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let me see if I can find it. | |
| Because they actually did name each night. | ||
| But they're all like. | ||
| They don't actually mean anything. | ||
| Yeah, here you go. | ||
| So tonight's theme was a fight for our freedoms. | ||
| But that's very vague. | ||
| Yesterday was for the people, for our future. | ||
| What is that? | ||
| Can anyone say what that policy is? | ||
| What is the policy or the issue category that is associated with for the people in the future? | ||
| For our freedom, you could say it's about abortion, but the whole thing's been about abortion. | ||
| So technically they have themes, but not really. | ||
| And technically they have issues, but not really. | ||
| They don't really have any concrete proposals. | ||
| Other than abortion. | ||
| That's the big thing they're running on. | ||
| The past three days, that is by far and away, that is the punchline. | ||
| That's the applause line of every speech, every riff. | ||
| It always ends in control of our bodies, reproductive rights, having a family on our terms, getting the government out of the doctors. | ||
| And all of that just means abortion. | ||
| All of that just means they're going to enshrine the right to abortion at the federal level. | ||
| And other than that, there was a lot at the beginning about unions. | ||
| The first day they talked about unions, not so much the rest of the week. | ||
| Here and there they talk about cutting taxes, but they haven't really put that forth, other than a tax hike on the rich. | ||
| And they've talked about securing the border, but they don't really have a proposal for that. | ||
| They talked a little bit about that today. | ||
| And they talk about making housing more affordable, but they also don't really have a proposal. | ||
| And what you really find in every speech is it's just empty rhetoric. | ||
| And the Republicans have rhetoric too, but they also have policy. | ||
| And they're also talking about the issues, and they're also talking about the world that we live in. | ||
| You didn't get any of that in this convention. | ||
| It's so female-coded. | ||
| The audience is all female. | ||
| The speakers are all female. | ||
| The issues, the values are all female. | ||
| And the rhetoric is all female. | ||
| It's all about bullies and, you know, empathy. | ||
| It's all about, you know, whether the candidate cares about the people and, you know, whether they're a good person and whether they're selfish. | ||
| Whether they're mean, like that's all that they have to offer. | ||
| So it's abortion, that's the big one. | ||
| To a lesser extent, it's unions and shitting on the rich. | ||
| It's the class warfare playbook, like from Obama and Occupy. | ||
| And just the classic stuff you get from the Democrats. | ||
| And then at the bottom of it, it's just shitting on Trump. | ||
| Just shitting on Trump. | ||
| Like, he's got small hands. | ||
| He's got a small penis. | ||
| He's a narcissist. | ||
| He's a bad guy. | ||
| He's selfish. | ||
| He's corrupt. | ||
| He was ineffective. | ||
| So that's really the profile of the Democratic platform. | ||
| I don't think any of that is very convincing. | ||
| They have tactics, they don't have policies. | ||
| The tactics are, if they can cosplay as moderates, then they won't alienate white people and they can turn out or suppress The tactic is if they push abortion, they're going to turn out a ton of women who will vote Democrat, and young people too. | ||
| That seems to be the playbook. | ||
| But they don't really have a cohesive or coherent platform. | ||
| They just don't really have policies. | ||
| And I don't think that's really going to work because the economy is bad. | ||
| And the Bureau of Labor just came out, I don't know if you saw this the other night, but it turns out they overestimated job creation by 800,000 jobs. | ||
| And honestly, that's the tip of the iceberg. | ||
| They're cooking all the books. | ||
| Inflation, crime, jobs, unemployment. | ||
| Everyone knows, as always, it's like, you know, they can cook the books and they can come up with creative ways to generate the insights they want. | ||
| Everyone knows crime is worse now. | ||
| I live in the suburbs of Chicago. | ||
| Nobody would tell you that crime has gotten better in the past four years. | ||
| Nobody would say that. | ||
| Nobody would say that in New York. | ||
| No one would say that in L.A. | ||
| No one would say that in any major city. | ||
| The economy is not better. | ||
| Everyone knows that. | ||
| Also, everyone believes that. | ||
| Even the Wall Street Journal said inflation is not as bad as Trump is making it out to be. | ||
| It's bad, but it's not as bad. | ||
| And still, they say the perception of the economy is that it's very, very bad. | ||
| So people know, and it's just true, everyone knows prices have gone up. | ||
| My mom was telling me this, I guess if you go on the Walmart website, you can set as a template, you can auto-fill your shopping cart online with whatever goods you want to buy. | ||
| And she said that she and other people that she noticed, that she heard about this, if you go to your Walmart preset cart from like four years ago, the prices have all doubled. | ||
| If you add the same, literally the same shopping cart, preset, programmed in from 2020, if you put that in your cart today, it's literally up 100%. | ||
| I believe that. | ||
| I think that's true. | ||
| And it's even true with, like, fast food. | ||
| You go to McDonald's. | ||
| You go and, especially lately, gas prices. | ||
| It's all up. | ||
| Anyway, point being is, everyone knows things are not going well. | ||
| Immigration is bad. | ||
| Foreign policy's bad. | ||
| The economy's bad. | ||
| Crime is bad. | ||
| The candidates suck. | ||
| Joe Biden, as we all know, everyone knows he's not the real president. | ||
| And up until two weeks ago, nobody liked Kamala. | ||
| And you know, I think there is some organic support for her. | ||
| I question how big it really is, though. | ||
| It's there. | ||
| I think there's enthusiasm. | ||
| But the enthusiasm is coming from Democrats. | ||
| It's coming from Democrats who are relieved that she might have a shot, whereas Biden had no shot. | ||
| I don't know how much of that is coming from anyone else, though. | ||
| That is coming from resistance liberals. | ||
| That is coming from hardcore Trump haters. | ||
| It's coming from hardcore Democrats. | ||
| But there are very few liberal Democrats anymore. | ||
| The share of the population that actually identifies as liberal Democrat has been going down. | ||
| So they may be enthusiastic because of a palpable sense of relief. | ||
| And I think people erroneously call that a honeymoon. | ||
| I don't think that was a honeymoon. | ||
| I think that was relief, and I think that they're now activated because I think there's a realistic chance that she could win. | ||
| I don't know how much of that is coming from anyone else. | ||
| I don't know anybody that really likes Kamala. | ||
|

|
Ever. | |
| She is not a popular vice president, was not a popular senator or candidate. | ||
| She didn't even make it to Iowa in 2020. | ||
|

|
So... | |
| I don't know how all of this is going to work out for them. | ||
| I think they've got a lot of ground to overcome, and they're really trying to overcome it with these hacks. | ||
| The media gives 99% favorable coverage to her, 99% unfavorable coverage to Trump. | ||
| They have celebrities. | ||
| They can turn out the influencers on social media. | ||
| They're running the abortion gambit, putting abortion front and center to activate the easily manipulated women. | ||
| And they are skin-suiting with the camo hat and Coach Tim Walls to try and trick white people to stay home. | ||
| And I think they're hoping that all those little tricks are gonna get them across the finish line and distract people from the fact that Kamala has never won a primary. | ||
| She's never won a national anything. | ||
| She's not popular. | ||
| Distract from the fact that the economy fucking sucks. | ||
| The border's open. | ||
| It's so bad, nobody's happy about it. | ||
| The world is on the brink of war and it's all the Democrats' fault. | ||
| Crime is terrible in every major city. | ||
| Like, it's all just a big trick. | ||
| To get over the fact that their governance is bad and they have no solutions. | ||
| The convention epitomizes that. | ||
| The convention, their big showcase, shows like there's no there there. | ||
| They've had a president speak every night, you know, Biden, Obama, Clinton. | ||
| They talk about nothing. | ||
| And there's almost this recognition. | ||
| There's a humility that the Democrats bring this time around that they didn't. | ||
| I think with Clinton, they were very arrogant. | ||
| With Clinton, they said, hey, it's 97% chance she's going to win. | ||
| We're unstoppable. | ||
| We can't lose anymore. | ||
| We've just, you know, we have it in the bag. | ||
| We have our finger on the scale. | ||
| And then they were dealt an upset loss. | ||
| And then they saw the rage from Trump supporters in 2020. | ||
| And now in 2024, you see a much more humble Democratic Party where they're saying, hey guys, we're American too. | ||
| We like freedom too, man. | ||
| They're really bringing their A-game. | ||
| And the only one that was really shockingly offensive was Michelle Obama. | ||
| If you watch Hillary Clinton's speech, Ocasio-Cortez's speech, if you watch Obama and Bill Clinton's speech, Tim Walz's speech, they are so different than Michelle Obama's speech. | ||
| She was the only one who was still so resentful, and they loved it. | ||
| That tells you they haven't changed a bit. | ||
| You know, they could put this mask on and say, you know, Oprah can go up there and say, I'm an American! | ||
| It's a fucking act. | ||
| Because when Michelle Obama gets up there and she looks like, you know, Wakanda, she looks like Black Panther, and she gets up there with that resentful, ingrate attitude, she goes up there and says, Oh, it's because we're black. | ||
| Oh, we didn't have generational wealth. | ||
| And oh, they didn't like us because they can't handle a couple of smart black people. | ||
| And America isn't ready for black people. | ||
| She was the only one. | ||
| Notable one. | ||
| I mean, there's some of that, but she was the only big one. | ||
| That had that all-too-familiar, resentful, uppity, angry attitude, vengeful attitude that we all know the left and non-whites have for America and for Republicans and for white people, and they fucking hate it up. | ||
| And I wasn't the only one who noticed it. | ||
| Hanania said the same thing, and it blew my mind because I thought I was the only one that picked up on that. | ||
| Do you remember? | ||
| Because on Monday, I said, you know, we're off to a good start. | ||
| I actually think the convention's pretty good. | ||
| And then the day after, when Michelle came up, my mood did like a 180. | ||
| I'm like, fuck this bitch. | ||
| Like, she activated something inside me because she's just rotten. | ||
| She's a rotten human being. | ||
| You remember when she said under Obama, she said the first time she was proud of her country was when her husband won the election? | ||
| That's who she is. | ||
| She is a rotten bitch. | ||
| No gratitude, even though she's an idiot. | ||
| She doesn't deserve what, you know, all these, all these Negroes are so proud while they're here. | ||
| You know, they're so proud. | ||
| They don't live in the South Side. | ||
| They don't live in Africa. | ||
| They don't live in Haiti. | ||
| When they become rich off the back of white liberals, when they become rich off the back of this country, off of Netflix and fucking book deals, they don't go and take their winnings and go move to Haiti with their brothers and sisters down for the struggle. | ||
| They don't move to the South. | ||
| She's not in Inglewood, unless I missed it. | ||
| I don't see her in Inglewood. | ||
| I don't see her in Humboldt Park. | ||
| And she's not in Africa. | ||
| She's in Martha's Vineyard. | ||
| She's in Martha's Vineyard cavorting with rich Jews and white liberals. | ||
| But yeah, she's so fucking proud. | ||
| And yeah, such a bone to pick with America. | ||
| Give me a break. | ||
| I really don't like Michelle Obama. | ||
| Even Barack. | ||
| Even Barack was more diplomatic because Barack actually won an election. | ||
| He's like Frank Underwood. | ||
| She's like the wife. | ||
| You know, he has the humility and the respect. | ||
| I mean, I think he's a very arrogant man. | ||
| I think he's a narcissist. | ||
| I think he's filled with false modesty. | ||
| But he, when I say humble, I mean he has respect for the game. | ||
| He has respect in the sense of how, you know, if you're fighting like a lion, you respect the lion, you can respect the challenge. | ||
| In the same way, Obama has respect for the enormity of the task. | ||
| Which is to win a national election. | ||
| It's a big deal. | ||
| And I think there's some hum... You know, take me for example. | ||
| I'm a pretty arrogant guy as well. | ||
| You know, to my... You know, people remind me of that all the time. | ||
| I'm a little cocky. | ||
| I'm a little narcissistic. | ||
| But I'm successful because I respect the game. | ||
| I have respect for the art. | ||
| I have respect and humility before the task. | ||
| You know what I want to be. | ||
| You know, you're chasing excellence. | ||
| You're competitive. | ||
| If you're competitive, that means you know you have something to learn or something to do. | ||
| I think Obama has a little bit of that. | ||
| I mean, he's pretty smug. | ||
| He thinks he's got it going on. | ||
| But to win a national election, you need to have a little bit of that. | ||
| Michelle Obama does not. | ||
| That is just like a raging bitch. | ||
| That's like... | ||
| It's on a whole different level from her husband. | ||
| So, even, and I think Obama's a pretty resentful, Barack Obama's a pretty resentful guy, but she's just next level. | ||
| She is next level. | ||
| She has no affinity for us. | ||
| For whites, for conservatives, Christians, patriots, she has, you can tell, dripping with contempt and disdain. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Anyway. | |
| So tonight, I didn't see a whole lot of that. | ||
| You know, they had Bill Clinton up there. | ||
| They had, you know, Tim Walz. | ||
| Like I said, he seems like a genuine guy. | ||
| But I don't know how effective this convention is. | ||
| I think they're doing something with this Tim Walz pick. | ||
| I don't know how much that's really going to play. | ||
| Honestly, I think Trump is more popular than ever. | ||
| I don't think he has enthusiasm, but I think he's very popular. | ||
| Nobody can question the fact that he's far more popular now, arguably, than he was ever. | ||
| I think he's more popular now, excuse me, than he was in 20, than he was in 16. | ||
| It's less controversial to be a Trump supporter. | ||
| I think he legitimately does have more support from Hispanics and Blacks. | ||
| I don't think it's, um, I don't think it's earth shattering. | ||
| I don't think it's, uh, you know, transformational, but I've seen it. | ||
| I've seen it. | ||
| I think he does actually have significant support with Hispanics, and I think he's increased it with blacks. | ||
| It's not a game changer, but I think he's gaining with them. | ||
| And he's polling better than he has, even to the extent that he's polling worse now than he was before. | ||
| He's polling better now than he was at the same time four years ago and eight years ago. | ||
| So it's going to be a close election. | ||
| I think the Democrats are still going to have to fight. | ||
| The Republicans are letting a lot of ground go. | ||
| I think they're making a lot of errors. | ||
| I think Vance was a big fat mistake. | ||
| Pun intended. | ||
| I think they're leaving a lot of media and money on the table by abandoning Twitter. | ||
| I don't think they're going hard enough on certain issues. | ||
| You know, as you know, I have my deep criticisms of the campaign. | ||
| So they're not doing as well as they should be. | ||
| But the Democrats still have a lot of ground to cover. | ||
| I think it still is the Republicans to lose. | ||
| I don't think it's open and shut. | ||
| It was like two or three weeks ago. | ||
| They had it after the Trump assassination attempt. | ||
| They really had it. | ||
| Now I think it's going to be close, especially because there's time left and the Democrats are hungry. | ||
| They want it. | ||
| They're activated. | ||
| I mean, they're really, I mean, this convention, they've really, I think it's been a big production. | ||
| I don't know if I believe in the strategy, but the production and the energy is there. | ||
| But they still have ground to cover. | ||
| So I still think it's less likely that they will win. | ||
| But, you know, in 75 days, they can make up the gap. | ||
| They got a good ground game. | ||
| They got money. | ||
| They got enthusiasm. | ||
| The demographics are on... No one can ignore the demographics are on their side. | ||
| Illegals are going to be voting. | ||
| Blacks are going to be activated. | ||
| Women are going to be activated. | ||
| They're going to cheat. | ||
| I know it's shocking, but the laws haven't changed. | ||
| They're doing early voting as we speak. | ||
| They're going to be doing ballot harvesting. | ||
| It's still going to be a tough election. | ||
| And, you know, so I don't know how much any of this stuff is really going to resonate. | ||
| They'll get a bump from the conventions. | ||
| They always do. | ||
| It won't last. | ||
| But yeah, I don't know how I feel about this playbook. | ||
| I don't think it's the best. | ||
| I don't think the Democrats have a great playbook. | ||
| It's certainly not their strength this time around. | ||
| They think that they could just yell abortion, J6, and unions until the finish line. | ||
| I don't think that's enough, honestly. | ||
| I think if anyone has a better sense of how to critique Trump, it was Buttigieg. | ||
| I think Buttigieg had an effective critique. | ||
| I think that Joe Biden had an effective critique. | ||
| I didn't hear anything very effective from the others. | ||
| Even Obama had an effective critique of Trump, but the rest of it's a lot of garbage. | ||
| So, some of them are phoning it in a little bit. | ||
| That's my thoughts on the third day of the convention. | ||
| But, you know, it really goes without saying, it's so funny, everybody accused me of being a Democrat because I criticized the Republicans. | ||
| Obviously not a Democrat. | ||
| I think the Democrats are pure evil, especially based on what you saw tonight. | ||
| I mean, what they're running on is literally a satanic inversion of the family. | ||
| In vitro, homosexuality, abortion, these pornographic children's books. | ||
| Like, that's their platform. | ||
| So, you know, you could never vote. | ||
| If you're a Christian, you just can never vote for Democrats. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know. | |
| Isn't that so rich? | ||
| I criticize the Republicans. | ||
| They say, you're a Democrat plant. | ||
| You're being paid by them to hurt Trump. | ||
| And then the Democrats disavowed me in their own party platform. | ||
| And then they disavowed me from the stage of their own convention. | ||
| And then I do coverage wall to wall shitting on them the whole week. | ||
| I've never said vote for Democrats ever. | ||
| You know, but it's paid shills on both sides. | ||
| I'm the only one that you can really trust to give an independent perspective on both the GOP and the Democrats because I'm not paid by either of them. | ||
| Which is more than can be said about most who are paid by the GOP. | ||
| Okay, but all right. | ||
| We're gonna take a look at our Super Chats. | ||
| We'll see what you guys have to say about all this, then we'll get out of here, and then tomorrow finally is the last day. | ||
| It's been a long week, man. | ||
| I really underestimated. | ||
| I'm low-key regretting it. | ||
| I mean, we had to do it. | ||
| We gotta watch. | ||
| We gotta know what they're saying to really understand the election. | ||
| But it has been a tough watch. | ||
| I know you agree. | ||
| Bro, Iperior sent $50. | ||
| Apparently Hitler would occasionally bring a whip to the routine street brawls against | ||
| communists. | ||
| I sometimes wonder why the whip is his weapon of choice, if maybe he thought of himself | ||
| as mimicking Jesus driving out the money lenders with a whip. | ||
| Okay, thanks for the super chat. | ||
| Interesting comment. | ||
| I never heard that one before. | ||
| Grow Iperior sent $25. | ||
| Conservatives have a history of losing and they stand no better chance in America. | ||
| Conservatives didn't stop the Bolsheviks, Nazis, the Founding Fathers, Mussolini, Mao, or win anywhere of consequence in recent history. | ||
| They are by nature rule followers and lack creativity. | ||
| Our enemies are imitative. | ||
| We are innovative. | ||
| That's 100% and that's why I don't identify as a conservative. | ||
| It's very important that we, you know, we are right-wing, but conservatism is such a toxic force because it's It's like you say, it's really not an independent force. | ||
| It's more about moderating and holding things back than it is about actually generating the change. | ||
| And we want to own the future rather than be the ones dictating the speed limit of the future. | ||
| So, yeah, that's true. | ||
| Whether it's reactionary force or progressive force, conservatives are not able to stop it ever. | ||
| Like, conservatives by, almost by definition, can never win. | ||
| Because they're not dynamic. | ||
| And if you're not dynamic, then, uh, you know, you can't, there's no way that you're going to be able to hang on or generate the future, so. | ||

| I agree that Trump needs to get more provocative to be in the news. | ||
| If only he could invite you as a dinner guest at Chicago Trump Tower and discuss political strategy. | ||
| Imagine, Trump meets far-right Fuentes again to discuss campaign policy. | ||
| Be careful! | ||
| Well, look, the Trump campaign should listen to me. | ||
| If the Trump campaign listened to me, they would win. | ||
| And I want Trump to win. | ||
| And I think that if he listened to me, he would win because I understand how Trump won in 2016. | ||
| I've been like the prophet of MAGA for the last nine years. | ||
| It's not Tucker Carlson. | ||
| It's not Charlie Kirk. | ||
| It's been me. | ||
| I was the one who uniquely understood it. | ||
| The mode, the substance, all of it. | ||
| And I told him, It's not going well. | ||
| He knows it. | ||
| That's why he brought on Lewandowski. | ||
| And he said at a rally today, he said, do you want me to be personal? | ||
| Do you want me to go hard? | ||
| Should I fire my advisors? | ||
| And the crowd said, yeah. | ||
| He knows. | ||
| So he knows what's up. | ||
| And he knows that I told him at that dinner, if he remembers it, I told him at that dinner, you gotta go hard, you gotta attack the GOP, you gotta run as an independent. | ||
| I told him that at the dinner. | ||
| So I've been vindicated, and I told him from the horse's mouth, I told him myself, and I've been vindicated over the last two years. | ||
| The strategy of La Civita, Jason Miller, Susie Wiles, it's not working. | ||
| So, I don't think it would be a good idea. | ||
| But I would do it secretly. | ||
| I would do it. | ||
| If Trump invited me, I would do it discreetly and secretly and privately and I would never tell anybody. | ||
| And I would do it for the greater good. | ||
| But it needs to happen. | ||
| That's why we're doing Groiper War. | ||
| We gotta get his attention somehow. | ||
| Horrible idea. | ||
| Really stupid idea. | ||
| Absolutely not. | ||

| I said it's fake. | ||
| She says it's hope. | ||
| Vomiting face. | ||
| See but people fall for it. | ||
| People fall for it. | ||
| It's Hollywood. | ||
| It's literally a Hollywood production. | ||
| And by that, I mean it's fake, it's actors, it's effects and music, and it's basically meant to manipulate you with storytelling. | ||
| This is not about government. | ||
| This is not about issues. | ||
| It's not politics. | ||
| Arguably, it's not even rhetoric. | ||
| It really is pure storytelling. | ||
| Storytelling enhanced by production. | ||
| And so, they wave the flag, they play the music, they show the faces, they tell the stories, and people go, wow, this is really moving! | ||
| And they're going to tax your unrealized gains. | ||
| They're going to assess the value of your home and tax you if the value of your home is appreciated. | ||
| It's insane! | ||
|

|
But people go, well, they said they won't, they waved the flag. | |
| So people do fall for it. | ||
| And, you know, unfortunately, almost all the time it's women because women are easily manipulated. | ||
| That's just a fact of their nature. | ||
| And I say that, look, I love my mother and I love women, but as if you have a mother and if you have Sisters, if you have daughters, you know they're impressionable. | ||
| You know they're emotional. | ||
| And when they watch movies or they hear stories, they're emotional. | ||
| They cry. | ||
| That's how you get them. | ||
| Do Democrats know? | ||
| You think they don't know that? | ||
| You think like the people that run society are ignorant of human nature and how to move the masses? | ||
| They know it very well. | ||
| It's like a science. | ||
| And so women are really the target audience because they know that if they can trick women with these emotional productions, then they can get them out to vote. | ||
| The men are a little more difficult to trick. | ||
| Men can be tricked as well, but it's a little bit more difficult. | ||
| So that's what they do. | ||
| It's a shame. | ||
| It's a shame that people fall for it, but you know, it happens. | ||

| Zwarlok505 sent $10, Nick, why did Israel need the United States military to invade Iraq? | ||
| What was Israel's problem with Saddam Hussein? | ||
| I have a million questions, but keep up the good work and keep being you. | ||
| Cheers. | ||
| Well, if you want to know, you can read the Clean Break Report. | ||
| It spells it out exactly. | ||
| It's called Securing the Realm. | ||
| And the different chapters tell the story. | ||
| And one of the chapters, the main chapter, is about securing the northern border of Israel, which is their problem. | ||
| The Palestinians that they pushed into Jordan, rebelled, were chased out of Jordan and went into Lebanon. | ||
| And in Lebanon, they formed the basis of what would become Hezbollah. | ||
| And they launched cross-border raids and attacks on Israel from Lebanon on Israel's northern border. | ||
| So Israel invaded in the 1980s. | ||
| And out of Israel's invasion of Lebanon was born Hezbollah. | ||
| They were trained by the Iranians. | ||
| And since then, it's been a persistent problem. | ||
| From the 80s onward, Israel occupied southern Lebanon. | ||
| They evacuated in 2000, but they've had all their wars in Lebanon since, like in 2006, | ||
| and Hezbollah has carried out cross-border raids ever since. | ||
| Israel sees it as a major problem. | ||
| Hezbollah has a massive military. | ||
| They have a huge stockpile of missiles. | ||
| And that remains their only border that is unstable. | ||
| On their southern border, they've normalized relations and made peace with Egypt. | ||
| On their eastern border, they've normalized relations and made peace with Jordan. | ||
| And both of those peace treaties are supported by American foreign aid. | ||
| The United States bribed Egypt and Jordan to make those deals, and that's why in 1979 and in the mid-1990s, Egypt and Jordan became the second and third largest recipients of foreign aid after Israel. | ||
| It's a bribe. | ||
| So, Israel's northern border remains the problem, in addition to the West Bank and Gaza, but that's really a domestic problem. | ||
| So, Hezbollah and the Palestinian element, the radical element, In southern Lebanon is supported by Syria. | ||
| Syria remains at war with Israel since 1967. | ||
| I think it even really realistically goes back to 1948 or 56. | ||
| They have been in a constant state of war with Israel basically since the creation of the state of Israel. | ||
| And Hafez al-Assad and Bashar al-Assad going back 50 years. | ||
| So, Hezbollah is supported by the Assad regime, which remains at war with Israel. | ||
| They receive support from Assad because Lebanon borders Syria. | ||
| And both Syria and Hezbollah are supported by Iran. | ||
| And so Iranian aid goes through Syria into Lebanon to Hezbollah. | ||
| And it comes from Syria to Hezbollah in Lebanon. | ||
| And what the Israelis said is that the key to securing the northern border is to neutralize Hezbollah and the threat that is coming from Lebanon. | ||
| But in order to do that, they first must neutralize Syria and Iran. | ||
| But they understood that Syria was bolstered by Iraq. | ||
| The Ba'athist regime of Saddam Hussein supported the regime in Syria. | ||
| And so Israel understood that Syria's strength came from Iraq. | ||
| They had to take out Saddam Hussein. | ||
| And there were some convoluted theories they had about the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. | ||
| They thought that they could dismember both states. | ||
| It has a lot to do with the sectarian conflicts and succession in both of those countries, in Iraq and Syria. | ||
| So if you read it, there's a lot of details. | ||
| And some of it didn't even really bear out. | ||
| A lot of it didn't even really appear to be true. | ||
| But they thought that taking out Iraq was critical to undermining Syria. | ||
| And once they take out Iraq, they said that they must destabilize Syria, which they've done. | ||
| Syrian civil war started after the Arab Spring. | ||
| United States got involved. | ||
| They were almost brought in in 2013. | ||
| They deployed there in 2015. | ||
| Now Israel is able to carry out airstrikes with impunity. | ||
| It's basically a failed state. | ||
| So Israel and the United States can conduct operations inside Syria Total contravention of national sovereignty. | ||
| Total violation of their sovereignty. | ||
| And Iran has come in aggressively also. | ||
| And the final prize is Iran. | ||
| But that was really the playbook. | ||
| It was Iraq, then Syria, then Iran. | ||
| And it's all about securing their northern border. | ||
| In addition to that, they feared Saddam Hussein because, in addition to that reason, Saddam Hussein was launching missiles into Israel. | ||
| Saddam Hussein was a very powerful leader with a massive military, lots of tanks. | ||
| They were insistent, or what's the word? | ||
| But they persisted in acquiring a nuclear arsenal. | ||
| The French developed a nuclear reactor with Iraq in the 1970s. | ||
| The Israelis sabotaged it in 1981 in Iraq. | ||
| They called it the Iraq Nuclear Reactor. | ||
| Israel bombed it in 1981. | ||
| It's an incredible operation from a logistics point of view. | ||
| And ever since 1981, Saddam Hussein was dead set on developing a nuclear bomb. | ||
| They actually put the nuclear program underground. | ||
| So it was the missile capability, it was their massive conventional military, it was their persistence in developing a nuclear arsenal. | ||
| It was also the threat that they might invade Saudi Arabia, which they threatened to do, like they invaded Kuwait in 1990. | ||
| Or 1991. | ||
| It was the threat that they would invade Saudi Arabia and take the oil. | ||
| It's a very complex situation, but those are some of the reasons. | ||
| What you have to understand about Israel is that Israel desires regional hegemony. | ||
| They want to dominate the entire region. | ||
| So a lot of these threats are exaggerated or outright fabricated in order to justify what is really a war of conquest. | ||
| It was really articulated, the Likud doctrine was articulated by Oded Yanan, and what he said is that Israel will never be safe as long as we have powerful neighbors. | ||
| So what we have to do is destabilize them, foment sectarian conflict, or undergo regime | ||
| change in those countries, pursue regime change in those countries, so that they will be destroyed | ||
| and dismembered, and in its place will be smaller states that will not be powerful enough | ||
| to challenge Israel. | ||
| The biggest threat would be Islamism. | ||
| The biggest threat would be Pan-Arabism or Arab Socialism. | ||
| Their biggest threat comes from leaders like Nasser or Saddam Hussein, or even today, Erdogan | ||
| or the Ayatollah. | ||
| It comes from any ideology or religious movement that could unite the entire region or a collection | ||
| of states and increase the power of the Muslims against the state of Israel. | ||
| Everything else, more or less, is really just an excuse. | ||
| So Saddam Hussein did not have WMDs. | ||
| So that threat was fabricated. | ||
| It wasn't real. | ||
| It was either exaggerated or outright fabricated. | ||
| But what it was really related to was the power of the Iraqi state. | ||
| That is what they could not tolerate. | ||
| Because so long as Iraq and Iran and Syria and Gaddafi, so long as these powerful states existed against the United States and Israel, They were a threat to Israel's power over the region. | ||
| But you look at the region now, Israel stands alone other than Iran and Turkey. | ||
| So Egypt poses no threat because they're a suzerain of the United States. | ||
| Jordan poses no threat because they're a colony of the United States. | ||
| Iraq poses no threat because they're occupied by the United States. | ||
| Saudi Arabia is a client of the United States, as are the Emirates and Bahrain and Kuwait. | ||
| Syria has been ripped apart and destabilized. | ||
| Lebanon has been ripped apart and destabilized. | ||
| Qatar was isolated and sanctioned after big diplomatic row. | ||
| Yemen is a failed state. | ||
| Libya is a failed state. | ||
| And so you look across the whole Middle East. | ||
| Sudan is in too. | ||
| And they're all going to war. | ||
| Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia, Egypt. | ||
| They're all about to go to war for various reasons. | ||
| Water and land and agriculture and so on. | ||
| So Israel, I mean, that is largely borne out. | ||
| The Oded Yanan plan of the 80s, the Clean Break Report, it's all borne out. | ||
| Those regime change wars, color revolutions, proxy wars, they all happened. | ||
| They achieved their desired end. | ||
| Every country has either been destroyed, toppled, divided, subjugated. | ||
| All that remains is Iran and Turkey. | ||
| All that remains is Erdogan and the Ayatollah. | ||
| And Turkey is a NATO country. | ||
| So, although they're trying to branch out and they're building a relationship with Russia and China, and they have ambitions of being the leader of the Muslim world, they still rely heavily on the United States. | ||
| So it's really just Iran. | ||
| And that's why Iran is now on the crosshairs. | ||
| So that is a general survey of the situation that has been going on in the Middle East basically since the Yom Kippur War, or the Camp David Treaty. | ||
| You know, and what they pursued from the 70s to the 90s, to the Oslo Accords, to the first Oslo Accords, was land for peace. | ||
| They said, we'll give Egypt the Sinai back in exchange for peace. | ||
| We'll give the West Bank back in exchange for peace. | ||
| Or, you know, Palestinian autonomy in the West Bank in exchange for peace. | ||
| And so on. | ||
| We'll make peace with these countries and we'll give them their land back. | ||
| And the Likud party said, no, we can't give land. | ||
| We can't give land to the Palestinians. | ||
| We can't give the Golan back to Syria. | ||
| We're going to make peace on our terms. | ||
| We're going to make peace by forcing them to make peace by the sword of the United States. | ||
| And that is where the neocons came into play in the United States. | ||
| That is where the Israelis were able to wield the United States like their own personal military. | ||
| And that is how they were able to break out of that land for peace situation, which really came out of a stalemate that the Israelis and Arabs were in the ceaseless state of war. | ||
| And with the intervention of the Soviets and the Americans, it really came to a stalemate Christine in Ohio sent $5. | ||

| And they had a lot of recordings. | ||
| You know what really sucks? | ||
| I recorded so many phone calls with Kanye on my second phone. | ||
| Cause he asked me, not because I'm like, he, that was like his thing. | ||
| Like when you're running the campaign, he would literally say on the phone, are you recording this? | ||
| And I'd say, yes. | ||
| He's like, okay, good. | ||
| He wanted us to record everything. | ||
| He always wanted a camera on him because he wanted to do something with the footage, like make a movie about it or whatever. | ||
| Before, people say, oh, that's super sus. | ||
| I never record phone calls, but he was always like, oh, record this conversation, record this in person on the phone. | ||
| Anyone will tell you that. | ||
| And so I had all these really good recordings on the phone, and I lost almost all of them. | ||
| Not all of them, but a lot of them. | ||
| Because my second phone, I left it in a bag in the passenger seat of my car across the street from this Thai restaurant. | ||
| Someone smashed the window, took the bag. | ||
| Within three minutes of me leaving my car. | ||
| Really sucks. | ||
| And you know what really sucks? | ||
| One of them was so good. | ||
| One day he called me up. | ||
| I'll tell you this one. | ||

| And I was in what hotel? | ||
| I think I was at the Marriott in Santa Monica. | ||

| We were working all day in like December. | ||
| I was working over the phone on a tweet. | ||
| We were writing a tweet. | ||
| And I'm in bed. | ||
| I'm on my laptop and he calls me up. | ||
| And he's like, hey, what's good? | ||
| How's it going? | ||
| I'm like, hey, what's going on? | ||

And this is one of the recordings I had. | |
| Honestly, it was like the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life. | ||
| I was genuinely laughing so hard. | ||
| He told me he wanted to change his name to a swastika. | ||
| Not making this up. | ||
| So for anybody that says I made him a Nazi, that's not true. | ||
| He called me up out of the blue one afternoon. | ||
| He's like, so what if I change my name to a swastika? | ||
| And I start dying, I'm like, that's the funniest thing I've ever heard. | ||
| He's like, right? | ||

| I'm like, and I told him, I'm like, I'm like, wouldn't they just put the letters though? | ||
| He goes, no, no, no. | ||
| He goes, no, I'm not changing my name to the word. | ||
| He goes, he corrected me. | ||
| He said his name wouldn't be spelled S-W-A. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He says, no, his name would be spelled swastika. | |
| It would be the symbol. | ||
| And I was, and he was serious. | ||
| I was laughing my ass off. | ||
| I was like, well, why don't we think about that? | ||
| I'm like, that's kind of a big decision. | ||
| I'm like, maybe we should hold off on that one. | ||
| But that is no joke. | ||
| He's like, what if I—and that was one of the many ideas that he shelved. | ||
| I was like, yeah, that's probably for the better. | ||
| That was after the Alex Jones interview. | ||
| After—which, by the way, people all the time, they're like, oh, you endorse Kanye. | ||
| It's like, yep, that's my president. | ||
| That's my president. | ||
| Because—and it wasn't—look, he wasn't like a hater. | ||
| He's a very loving guy. | ||
| He loves everybody. | ||
| But his idea, it was really like an ironic re-appropriation of it. | ||
| Because he just thought it would be funny if, like, the media had to put swastikas everywhere. | ||
| He thought it would be so funny because, you know, he's one of the most famous people in the world. | ||
| So he thought it would be so funny if, you know, he could, anytime the media talked about him, they'd have to put a swastika on TV or in the press. | ||
| So he would become like the gentleman formerly known as Yay, but the name would be... That would be the name. | ||
|
unidentified

I was like, man. | |

| I mean, it's one of those things where it's like, you know, it's a bit. | ||
| It's a bit. | ||
| You got to commit to a little bit. | ||
| So, I mean, he's genuinely just one of the funniest guys I've ever met. | ||
| I was laughing my ass off, and I'm so mad. | ||
| I never would have published that. | ||
| I never would have published that. | ||
| But I just wish I had it for, you know... For the sake of posterity. | ||
| Because, man, I was laughing my ass off. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was so funny. | |
| We were dying. | ||
| And he was laughing too. | ||
| He was dying. | ||
| I was dying. | ||
| It was one of those, it was just one of those awesome moments during the campaign. | ||
| We just had such a laugh about everything that was going on. | ||
| I don't know if he'd appreciate me telling that story, but I think it's funny. | ||
| I mean, I think it's funny. | ||
| He'd want to change his name. | ||
| I was like, dude. | ||
| I was like, yeah, you know, I was laughing, but I was also kind of like, please tell me you're kidding. | ||
| I think he was kidding, though. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think it was a joke. | |
| But yeah, he was like, what if I change my name? | ||
| You know, and then he posted the swastika with the Star of David. | ||
| That happened before, actually. | ||
| The swastika post happened about a week before, I believe. | ||
| Because this was in like early to mid-December of 2022. | ||
| So yeah, those were the days, man. | ||
| I love L.A. | ||
| I love my time in L.A. | ||
| I fucking love that city. | ||
| Love that city, love the people, the weather, the food, the scenery. | ||
| It's just like the perfect city. | ||
| The only problem is the property crime. | ||
| That's a big issue. | ||
| The homeless are everywhere. | ||
| They're even in Beverly Hills. | ||
| Downtown, you just can't go there. | ||
| I went to downtown at night, it was a mistake, and it was literally like Escape from New York. | ||
| It was like Escape from that movie. | ||
| It was like the scum took over the streets. | ||
| UCLA's beautiful, like the whole place is amazing. | ||
| I got a lot of good friends out there. | ||
| So that was just a, it was an amazing time I had there. | ||
| I lived there for, I don't know, four months. | ||
| I lived there November, December, January, February, uh, 2022, 2023. | ||
| And I lived in Beverly Hills, Santa Monica. | ||
|
unidentified

Not so good. | |

| I really like, um, what is it up north, uh, in between the Valley and LA? | ||
| What is that? | ||
| It's, um, Studio City. | ||
| I really like Studio City as well. | ||
| So I would probably say Westwood. | ||
| Not WeHo! | ||
| Okay, I meant Westwood. | ||
| Honest mistake. | ||
| I love Westwood. | ||
| I love Studio City. | ||
| Santa Monica. | ||
| Beverly Hills is alright, actually. | ||
| I don't actually love Beverly Hills. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's okay. | |
| But probably my main hangouts were those places. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Westwood, Studio City. | |
| Because, you know, when I was in the Valley, me and my friends, we'd meet up in Studio City sometimes. | ||
| You know, and Silver Lake. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We had some good times in Silver Lake as well. | |
| Pretty trendy, but it's a little gritty over there. | ||
| You know, a very hipster neighborhood. | ||
| So yeah, so I like it. | ||
| I love LA. | ||
| Great city. | ||
| Great city, great people. | ||
| Culver City? | ||
| Yeah, Culver City's pretty. | ||
| I think we hung out in Culver City a little bit. | ||
| That was nice. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I love it. | |
| Shut up about California! | ||
| You know, this is the problem with conservatives. | ||
| If you don't like LA, there's something wrong with you. | ||
| You know, you're basically just in denial. | ||
| That's what I, it's like this like conservative brain rot. | ||
| It's like if you go to LA, it's just paradise. | ||
| The weather is, you just can't beat it. | ||
| You can't, where would you rather live? | ||
| Florida? | ||
| Where it's sweltering. | ||
| It's like a fucking million degrees, a hundred percent humidity, mosquitoes, blacks, uh, you know, black criminals everywhere. | ||
| People don't even speaking, you know, Miami is like a third world. | ||
| I love Miami, but it's like a third world country. | ||
| Where would you rather live? | ||
| Miami? | ||
| Tampa? | ||
| Tampa's a shithole. | ||
| Atlanta? | ||
| Atlanta's a shithole. | ||
| Where'd you rather live? | ||
| Texas? | ||
| Texas is 115 degrees. | ||
| And Houston has a lot of the same issues. | ||
| So, you know, if you're not down with California, you're just a faggot. | ||
| Honestly, if you're not, if you have a problem in California or Los Angeles, there's just something wrong with you. | ||
| But conservatives are so resentful. | ||
| They're so like, it's the same energy that southerners have or that black people have. | ||
| It's like this chip on their shoulder. | ||
| This like, it's like, hey, LA is fucking nice. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| The food's delicious. | ||
| Yeah, the gas prices are too high. | ||
| Yeah, they got homelessness and property crime. | ||
| But they have great public universities. | ||
| They've got great weather, great food. | ||
| It's gorgeous. | ||
| It's very chill. | ||
| The West Coast is very chill. | ||
| Everyone's there, there's energy, there's cool stuff going on. | ||
| You know, if you don't like L.A., like, you need to get over yourself a little bit. | ||
| And look, I'm not just some, like, yuppie or whatever. | ||
| I'll probably not live there anytime soon. | ||
| But, you know, I don't like New York. | ||
| I think New York smells like garbage. | ||
| I wouldn't say the same about New York. | ||
| Frankly, I wouldn't say the same about Chicago. | ||
| I think Chicago's getting to be unlivable. | ||
|
unidentified

| And you're a Democrat. | ||
| Yeah, you're a fucking numbskull. | ||
| Numbskull imbecile. | ||

| I thought Trump killed that. | ||
| Obviously, it's gone on far too long. | ||

| Where are you gonna live in Florida? | ||
| Where are you gonna live in Florida? | ||
| It's not cheap anymore. It's not cheap. It's too humid. It's 100 degrees. | ||
| Tampa's a dump. Miami's a dump. Everywhere else is a retirement home. Naples is a retirement | ||
| community. Fort Lauderdale, Vero Beach, West Palm, Palm Beach, it's a retirement community. | ||
| Orlando's a freak show. | ||
| So you've got the same demographic problems. | ||
| You've got the weather, you got the heat, but the weather's not nice. | ||
| It's a swamp. | ||
| It's all old people. | ||
| So no, actually, I don't think Florida's better than LA. | ||
| You have to be on drugs to think Florida's better than LA. | ||
| You know, or Atlanta, or any of that. | ||
