WEBVTT - Best Moments from DNC Night 3

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.320
<v Speaker 1>Seventy five days to go, two and a half short months,

0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:04.320
<v Speaker 1>ten weeks.

0:00:04.720 --> 0:00:06.240
<v Speaker 2>This is the warning.

0:00:07.360 --> 0:00:11.239
<v Speaker 1>On election day, there will be somewhere in America the

0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:15.480
<v Speaker 1>final vote cast, and then it will be over. We

0:00:15.520 --> 0:00:18.680
<v Speaker 1>will have decided, and all there will be left to

0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:22.600
<v Speaker 1>do is to wait for the results of a free

0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:28.280
<v Speaker 1>and fair election. That election will set the course for

0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:32.479
<v Speaker 1>the balance of the twenty first century. And before you vote,

0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:37.560
<v Speaker 1>understand something. Donald Trump has pledged to be a dictator.

0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:41.800
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump has pledged to round up ten million people

0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:45.839
<v Speaker 1>and lock them into concentration camps. It has to be

0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:49.559
<v Speaker 1>the word, because that's what they are. Donald Trump has

0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:54.920
<v Speaker 1>promised that he alone can fix everything. Donald Trump has

0:00:55.000 --> 0:01:00.600
<v Speaker 1>promised retribution and revenge. Night three of the Democrat National

0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Convention was more antidote. It was an offering of better

0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:11.240
<v Speaker 1>to the American people. Mayor Pete now Secretary Pete talked

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:15.480
<v Speaker 1>about better, and of course there was this moment of surprise.

0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:21.880
<v Speaker 3>Please welcome Oprah Winfrey.

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:32.920
<v Speaker 4>We can't wait to leave here and do something. And

0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:37.520
<v Speaker 4>what we're gonna do is elect Kamina Harris as the

0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:39.160
<v Speaker 4>next president.

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:42.880
<v Speaker 5>Of the United States.

0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Wow, what a speech. This will be remembered for a

0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:54.640
<v Speaker 1>long time. This declaration matters, it's everything. This is the

0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:59.320
<v Speaker 1>identity that we share. We're Americans, and we heard from

0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:03.160
<v Speaker 1>a great one the exact type of person you want.

0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:04.400
<v Speaker 2>To have in politics.

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Do you want broken people like Ted Kruz who have

0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:14.919
<v Speaker 1>been plotting their presidential campaign since age seven, or do

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 1>you want good citizens who somehow, through fate, through service,

0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:24.400
<v Speaker 1>through contributions in their community, get involved.

0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:25.919
<v Speaker 2>Get involved in service.

0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:28.480
<v Speaker 1>They could be scout leader, they could be a teacher,

0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:31.440
<v Speaker 1>they could be a coach, and then they run for office.

0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:33.919
<v Speaker 2>That's what happened to ten Walls.

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Completely normal person, a coach, sergeant major of his National

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 1>Guard unit, retiring with the rank of master sergeant after

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:45.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty four years of service.

0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Somebody known in the community.

0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Like there are men and women in all communities across

0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 1>America by the simple honorific coach. That's an important title

0:02:55.919 --> 0:03:00.640
<v Speaker 1>in America. Coach, Coach Walls. This man went to Congress

0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:04.920
<v Speaker 1>and then he became governor, vice presidential nominee of the

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:10.119
<v Speaker 1>Democratic Party, a heartbeat away from the presidency should he win.

0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Politics in America was never designed for a permanent political class.

0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:22.040
<v Speaker 1>It was never designed for some type of permanent governing elite.

0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:25.400
<v Speaker 1>It's the work of citizenship. Kim Wallas was a citizen,

0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Kim Congressman, became a governor, and now he's on a

0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:35.160
<v Speaker 1>national ticket. There is something providential about America in our

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:41.560
<v Speaker 1>dark hours, when there seems to be hopelessness, providentially we

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:45.640
<v Speaker 1>have leaders emerge from the ether, it seems. Whether it's

0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Martin Luther King in his late twenties, whether it's John

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Lewis even younger, whether it's Dwight Eisenhower, a lieutenant colonel

0:03:55.720 --> 0:04:00.760
<v Speaker 1>in the army not promoted in almost fifteen years. Americans

0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:05.960
<v Speaker 1>step up and they always have and mad did Oprah

0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 1>Winfrey step up?

0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:10.520
<v Speaker 5>When a house is on fire, we don't ask about

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 5>the homeowner's race or religion. We don't wonder who their

0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:17.920
<v Speaker 5>partner is or how they voted. No, we just try

0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:20.920
<v Speaker 5>to do the best we can to save them. And

0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:26.360
<v Speaker 5>if the place happens to belong to a childless cat lady,

0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:34.240
<v Speaker 5>well we try to get that cat out too.

0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:39.799
<v Speaker 2>Wow Wow Wow.

0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:44.800
<v Speaker 1>The third night of the Democratic National Convention.

0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:48.120
<v Speaker 2>Has shown a brilliant beam.

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:53.760
<v Speaker 1>Of light on two things, possibility and the terribleness that

0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:57.840
<v Speaker 1>is to come if this country points a gun at

0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:01.719
<v Speaker 1>its head. Impulls the trigger while yelling Trump it will

0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:05.599
<v Speaker 1>be an active national suicide by a man carrying the

0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:08.720
<v Speaker 1>youth in Asia bag. He has told us clearly what

0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:13.599
<v Speaker 1>he will do. And last night Coach Walls, Sergeant Major Walls,

0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Governor Walls made it clear some of the most important

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:21.480
<v Speaker 1>things that will be said over the next seventy five

0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:25.440
<v Speaker 1>days have been said. Have been spoken in the last

0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:31.400
<v Speaker 1>forty eight hours. Oprah Winfrey, Governor Walls, Doug M. Hoff,

0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:37.440
<v Speaker 1>First Lady Michelle Obama, and President Obama. They have laid

0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 1>out in brilliant and clear terms the choice. And lest

0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:46.839
<v Speaker 1>anyone forget how talented Bill Clinton is, the big dog

0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:48.359
<v Speaker 1>still has his bark.

0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:51.400
<v Speaker 3>What does her opponent do with his voice? He mostly

0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:56.840
<v Speaker 3>talks about himself, So the next time you hear him,

0:05:56.880 --> 0:06:00.600
<v Speaker 3>don't count the us, count the eyes. He's like one

0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:04.560
<v Speaker 3>of those tenors opening up before he walks out on

0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.719
<v Speaker 3>stage like I did, trying to get his lungs open

0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:11.599
<v Speaker 3>by saying me, me, me, me, me me. When Kamala

0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:17.080
<v Speaker 3>Harris as president, every day will begin with you, you, you, you.

0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:21.880
<v Speaker 2>This is the choice.

0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:26.440
<v Speaker 1>It's been outlined, and now we wait for the main event.

0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:30.480
<v Speaker 1>The Vice president of the United States taking a podium

0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:35.120
<v Speaker 1>as the Democratic nominee, like Franklin Roosevelt, like Harry Truman,

0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:38.719
<v Speaker 1>like John Kennedy, like Jimmy Carter, like Bill Clinton, like

0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:43.680
<v Speaker 1>Barack Obama. Now it's Kamala Harris's turn, the child of

0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:49.480
<v Speaker 1>immigrants from Oakland, delivering the acceptance speech at the Democratic

0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:56.520
<v Speaker 1>National Convention. America is an extraordinary place. We should feel

0:06:56.880 --> 0:07:00.520
<v Speaker 1>deep love for it, in a deep commitment to make

0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:06.600
<v Speaker 1>certain that this magnificent experiment is handed down. Behind us,

0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:11.720
<v Speaker 1>there is someone arriving in America today as an immigrant. Legally,

0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:15.280
<v Speaker 1>their story is beginning. They'll meet a spouse here, they'll

0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:19.280
<v Speaker 1>get married. When they have kids, those two immigrants will

0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:23.640
<v Speaker 1>have an American child grow up to be our president.

0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:28.280
<v Speaker 1>Anybody who doesn't want to live in that country has rocks.

0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:30.720
<v Speaker 2>In their head. What a place it is?

0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Magnificent And on day three, Oprah Winfrey reminded us of

0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:43.000
<v Speaker 1>how much that is true. Let's close out with Oprah.

0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:44.200
<v Speaker 2>We won't go back.

0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:50.040
<v Speaker 4>We won't be set back, pushed back, bullied back, kicked back.

0:07:50.200 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 2>We're not going back. I'm not going back.

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:12.400
<v Speaker 4>So let us choose truth, let us choose honor, and

0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:14.640
<v Speaker 4>let us choose joy.

0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:22.200
<v Speaker 1>One day to go until the close out of the

0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:26.560
<v Speaker 1>Democratic National Convention, and let me make a prediction. Vice

0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:31.960
<v Speaker 1>President Harris's speech, Well, it's going to be spectacular and

0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:36.640
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be an antidote, an antidote to this idiocy.

0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:41.240
<v Speaker 1>It's time to cancel the show. This is the warning.

0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Do something, get involved, vote and make sure everybody you

0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:51.840
<v Speaker 1>know is ready to vote in November. I'm Steve Schmidt.

0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:54.240
<v Speaker 1>This is the warning, and I invite you to join.
