We 6 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: will have decided, and all there will be left to 7 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,600 Speaker 1: do is to wait for the results of a free 8 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: and fair election. That election will set the course for 9 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 1: the balance of the twenty first century.

It has to be 13 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 1: the word, because that's what they are. Donald Trump has 14 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: promised that he alone can fix everything. Donald Trump has 15 00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: promised retribution and revenge. Night three of the Democrat National 16 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: Convention was more antidote. It was an offering of better 17 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: to the American people. Mayor Pete now Secretary Pete talked 18 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: about better, and of course there was this moment of surprise. 19 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 3: Please welcome Oprah Winfrey. 20 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 4: We can't wait to leave here and do something.

This will be remembered for a 25 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: long time. This declaration matters, it's everything. This is the 26 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: identity that we share. We're Americans, and we heard from 27 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: a great one the exact type of person you want. 28 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 2: To have in politics. 29 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: Do you want broken people like Ted Kruz who have 30 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 1: been plotting their presidential campaign since age seven, or do 31 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: you want good citizens who somehow, through fate, through service, 32 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: through contributions in their community, get involved. 33 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 2: Get involved in service. 34 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: They could be scout leader, they could be a teacher, 35 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: they could be a coach, and then they run for office. 36 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 2: That's what happened to ten Walls. 37 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: Completely normal person, a coach, sergeant major of his National 38 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: Guard unit, retiring with the rank of master sergeant after 39 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: twenty four years of service. 40 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 2: Somebody known in the community. 41 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: Like there are men and women in all communities across 42 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: America by the simple honorific coach. That's an important title 43 00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 1: in America. Coach, Coach Walls. This man went to Congress 44 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 1: and then he became governor, vice presidential nominee of the 45 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:10,119 Speaker 1: Democratic Party, a heartbeat away from the presidency should he win. 46 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: Politics in America was never designed for a permanent political class. 47 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: It was never designed for some type of permanent governing elite. 48 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: It's the work of citizenship. Kim Wallas was a citizen, 49 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: Kim Congressman, became a governor, and now he's on a 50 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: national ticket. There is something providential about America in our 51 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: dark hours, when there seems to be hopelessness, providentially we 52 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: have leaders emerge from the ether, it seems. Whether it's 53 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: Martin Luther King in his late twenties, whether it's John 54 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: Lewis even younger, whether it's Dwight Eisenhower, a lieutenant colonel 55 00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: in the army not promoted in almost fifteen years. Americans 56 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: step up and they always have and mad did Oprah 57 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: Winfrey step up? 58 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 5: When a house is on fire, we don't ask about 59 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 5: the homeowner's race or religion. We don't wonder who their 60 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 5: partner is or how they voted. No, we just try 61 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 5: to do the best we can to save them. And 62 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 5: if the place happens to belong to a childless cat lady, 63 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 5: well we try to get that cat out too. 64 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,799 Speaker 2: Wow Wow Wow. 65 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: The third night of the Democratic National Convention. 66 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 2: Has shown a brilliant beam. 67 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: Of light on two things, possibility and the terribleness that 68 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 1: is to come if this country points a gun at 69 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 1: its head. Impulls the trigger while yelling Trump it will 70 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 1: be an active national suicide by a man carrying the 71 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 1: youth in Asia bag. He has told us clearly what 72 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 1: he will do. And last night Coach Walls, Sergeant Major Walls, 73 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: Governor Walls made it clear some of the most important 74 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: things that will be said over the next seventy five 75 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: days have been said.

They have laid 78 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: out in brilliant and clear terms the choice. And lest 79 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: anyone forget how talented Bill Clinton is, the big dog 80 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 1: still has his bark. 81 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 3: What does her opponent do with his voice? He mostly 82 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 3: talks about himself, So the next time you hear him, 83 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 3: don't count the us, count the eyes. He's like one 84 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 3: of those tenors opening up before he walks out on 85 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 3: stage like I did, trying to get his lungs open 86 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 3: by saying me, me, me, me, me me. When Kamala 87 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 3: Harris as president, every day will begin with you, you, you, you. 88 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 2: This is the choice. 89 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: It's been outlined, and now we wait for the main event. 90 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: The Vice president of the United States taking a podium 91 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: as the Democratic nominee, like Franklin Roosevelt, like Harry Truman, 92 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: like John Kennedy, like Jimmy Carter, like Bill Clinton, like 93 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: Barack Obama. Now it's Kamala Harris's turn, the child of 94 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: immigrants from Oakland, delivering the acceptance speech at the Democratic 95 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: National Convention. America is an extraordinary place. We should feel 96 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: deep love for it, in a deep commitment to make 97 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 1: certain that this magnificent experiment is handed down. Behind us, 98 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: there is someone arriving in America today as an immigrant. Legally, 99 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: their story is beginning. They'll meet a spouse here, they'll 100 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: get married. When they have kids, those two immigrants will 101 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: have an American child grow up to be our president. 102 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: Anybody who doesn't want to live in that country has rocks. 103 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 2: In their head. What a place it is? 104 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: Magnificent And on day three, Oprah Winfrey reminded us of 105 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: how much that is true.
