0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:56.720
<v Speaker 5>just grabbed you off the street real quick. If you

0:00:56.760 --> 0:00:58.880
<v Speaker 5>could tell Kamala Harris what we need to do over

0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 5>the next four days to elicit that hope that we

0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:04.800
<v Speaker 5>know reverberates within you and get people turned out to vote.

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:05.399
<v Speaker 5>What you're telling her.

0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:07.559
<v Speaker 4>I want to tell people the truth right now, Kamala

0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 4>Harris is next level, exceptional, extraordinary. I got a chance

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:13.600
<v Speaker 4>to serve for work. I'm not worried about her. The

0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:16.759
<v Speaker 4>thing that's most exciting to me right now And I'm

0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:19.399
<v Speaker 4>telling you right now, all of us maybe a year

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.480
<v Speaker 4>or two old to really understand this, what is happening

0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:25.479
<v Speaker 4>with young people in America who many of them were

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:28.040
<v Speaker 4>maybe four or five, six seven years old in two

0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:30.880
<v Speaker 4>thousand and eight. They are now equipped with tools and

0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:35.120
<v Speaker 4>technology we never even dreamed of. They are driving this campaign.

0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:39.600
<v Speaker 4>This will be the first true millennial gen z election

0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:44.240
<v Speaker 4>of our lifetime because they are making her viral, They

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:48.320
<v Speaker 4>are elevating her and creating enthusiasm, and so I just

0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:51.120
<v Speaker 4>want to say to the young people, you will decide

0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:53.880
<v Speaker 4>the outcome of this election. I know that we have

0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:56.600
<v Speaker 4>older voters and voting at high percentages and the like.

0:01:56.880 --> 0:02:01.080
<v Speaker 4>But the hype, the energy, the excitement, the funk, the groove,

0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:04.520
<v Speaker 4>the things that I think bring real soul to a campaign.

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.240
<v Speaker 4>I think that's coming from the top, but it's really

0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 4>being sourced from a new generation of young people who,

0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:13.399
<v Speaker 4>for the first election in their lifetime, are really ascending.

0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:15.799
<v Speaker 3>Senator Booger is always so good to see you. We

0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:17.680
<v Speaker 3>were told you had about five seconds.

0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:20.840
