1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: I am here in Milwaukee, and I can tell you

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: two things that are a fact. I have never seen

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: the Republican Party as focused as it is right now.

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: I have never seen the Republican Party as united as

5
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:20,639
Speaker 1: it is right now. I am also here in Milwaukee,

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: and I can tell you I've never seen the Democratic

7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: Party in such disarray. I have never seen the Democratic

8
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: Party ever be at a point where they're actually trying

9
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: to figure out how to delay their convention with all

10
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: the planning that goes into a convention, so they can

11
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: have more time to convince Joe Biden to get out

12
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: and say I am no longer going to be the nominee.

13
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 2: I have also never seen.

14
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: The Democratic Party fight so publicly. Usually they fight and

15
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: decide what's going to happen behind the scenes, and they

16
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: come out united. The wheels have come off the Democratic Party.

17
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: I have never seen the Big Five coalesce behind a

18
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: decision to actually get rid of the President of the

19
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: United States of America who is a Democrat in their party.

20
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 1: The five families we've now been told have been pushing

21
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: meeting and talking with Joe Biden behind the scenes, and

22
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: his family telling him he cannot win.

23
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: He is going to lose, and his.

24
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: Legacy is going to be that he lost, and he

25
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: could have stopped this from happening by dropping out of

26
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: the race and given them a chance.

27
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 2: Who are the big five? Nancy Pelosi, the Pelosi.

28
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: Family, the Schumer family, the Clinton family, the Obama family.

29
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: Those are the ones that are really in his face

30
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,559
Speaker 1: right now. Schumer, as you know, the Senate Majority leader,

31
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: a dear friend and ally to Joe Biden for decades,

32
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: as they serve together for decades in the Senate.

33
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: They are friends.

34
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer has come out and made it very clear

35
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: that there is no way and said this apparently from

36
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: what we've been told from multiple sources, met with the

37
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: president and said you cannot win and shared internal polling.

38
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 2: Nancy Pelosi has done the same.

39
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: Hillary and Bill Clinton have done the same, The Obamas

40
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: have done the same. And now we're being told that

41
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: the leader of the Democratic Party in the House, Jeffries,

42
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: has also done this. So the five families of the

43
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: Democratic Party, the most powerful you could argue, five families

44
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: in the Democratic Party have all organized and coalesced to

45
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: get rid of the president of the United States of America.

46
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: That is incredible MSNBC this morning had this report about

47
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: Democrats are also warning by not only could this be

48
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: his legacy, but they could actually hurt, could actually hurt

49
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: the entire day Democratic ticket, begging with him to step down,

50
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: begging with him to stop, begging with him, begging that

51
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: he would please not destroy the Democratic Party. And the

52
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: Democrats have also coalesced to dry up the money.

53
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: This is all about cash now.

54
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: They are stopping the funds going into the Biden campaign

55
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: weeks before the convention, which is incredible, It is shocking,

56
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: and it is incredible, and they are stopping the money

57
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: and everything else. I want to go to your phone

58
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: calls the number five three five nine seven three two

59
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: five three five nine seven three two.

60
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 2: Listen to Morning Joe this morning.

61
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,559
Speaker 3: Hit us up to datough with what's happening in Milwaukee.

62
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 4: Also what you're hearing from the Biden campaign. Yeah, we'll

63
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 4: start with the Biden campaign, Joe, And exactly right about

64
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 4: the sequencing. So on your I talked about the fact

65
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 4: three weeks ago that there was an effort among top

66
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 4: Democrats to give President Biden the chance to walk off

67
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 4: the stage. They said, he is proud, he's stubborn. We

68
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 4: love him, we appreciate him. We want to give him

69
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 4: the chance to walk off the stage. President Biden, in

70
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 4: the view of these top Democrats, did not take the

71
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 4: hint and the way that one top Democrat, someone very

72
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 4: close to the West wing, put it to me Sunday

73
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 4: as I sat here on the floor of this hall

74
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,559
Speaker 4: with my laptop doing reporting at the Republican Convention about

75
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 4: what was happening in the Democratic Party. They said, we

76
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 4: don't want to humiliate him.

77
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 2: That was the effort. Then we saw this sequence.

78
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 4: Yesterday and is my brilliant colleague Zach Bossu puts it

79
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 4: at the top of the axios this morning. President Biden

80
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 4: is now self isolating, both medically and politically with COVID.

81
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 4: Now he had given the sequences, he had said we

82
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 4: could get him out.

83
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 5: Of the race.

84
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 4: The President had said the Lord Almighty. Then he said

85
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 4: data pulling the show that I couldn't win.

86
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 2: Then he said health.

87
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 4: Then privately is reporting saying that he's being told that

88
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 4: Vice President Harris can win. So all his boxes now

89
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 4: are checked. One more thing about Vice President Harris, a

90
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 4: very specific plan for her to run. Democrats are going

91
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 4: to be able to start fast, would be able to

92
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 4: start fast with her. If they go that way, one,

93
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 4: she instantly makes Row the center of the race. Very

94
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 4: important to Democrats, the fall of Row Dobbs versus democracy

95
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 4: as they have put it. Second, the way that Democrats

96
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 4: cleverly put it is that now age and fitness would

97
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 4: become the Republicans problem, the Republicans issue if she were

98
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 4: the nominee. And third, they would frame it as prosecutor

99
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 4: as she was in my home state of California elected

100
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 4: DA San Francisco former attorney general versus convicted fella. But

101
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 4: as Ryan Nobles was saying, the president has to choose this.

102
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 4: He has the delegates, the statements yesterday from both the

103
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 4: campaign and the White House. He is the nominee or

104
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 4: soon will be. They can't take it from him. He

105
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 4: has to make that choice.

106
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: I mean, this reporting is rarely do I sit here

107
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: and not want to interrupt. I didn't want to interrupt

108
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: any of MSNBC. There they are telling you that they

109
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: hate Joe Biden and that they have already figured out

110
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: how Kamala Harris would win and how to make her

111
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 1: the nominee, and if he would just step aside and

112
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: stop being a selfish senile sob that we've been protecting

113
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: for the last three years. He was the same selfish

114
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: soob right. It was also c nile that they were

115
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: trying to hide, telling us that he that no one

116
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: can keep up with Joe Biden, that Joe Biden's faster

117
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: and quicker and smarter than everybody else, that Joe Biden

118
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: is the man, that Joe Biden is a vibrant We

119
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: all knew it was a lie, and then the entire

120
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: country and the world saw it during the last debate.

121
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: But you look at this way they framed it. This

122
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: is like a something you stick on a tombstone, folks.

123
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: He's self isolating both medically and politically, is what they

124
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: said on MSNBC. Like, I mean, I'm waiting for the

125
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: breaking news banner Joe Biden dead politically, right, Like Joe

126
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: Biden has died politically, it's they're writing his obituary right

127
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: now on MSNBC. Both again, Joe Biden is self isolating

128
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: both medically and politically. Like like if I was Joe

129
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: Biden and I was I was isolated, and I saw

130
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: that at MSBC, I actually might wake up from a

131
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: n app and like call somebody and be angry like that.

132
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 2: It might actually get me excited, like I'm not dead yet.

133
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: Y'all, Like, well, politically you are, sir, like you are politically.

134
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: I can't you see Joe Scarborough saying that to him,

135
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,679
Speaker 1: like you're done, You're finished. Like they're losing their minds

136
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: in the Democratic Party now. I will say this, I've

137
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: never seen the Republicans as united as we are now

138
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: at convention. I've never witnessed this in my entire political career.

139
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: I have never seen the Democratic Party turning the way

140
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: that they're turning. Representative Joyce Beattie was on NBC and

141
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: I want you to hear what she had to say

142
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: about Joe Biden, and she's still trying to defend him.

143
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: Like the group of people that's willing to go on

144
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: TV to defend Joe Biden is getting smaller and smaller,

145
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: not by the day, but by the hour.

146
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 2: Listen joining us now.

147
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 6: Is the former chair of the Congressional Back Black Caucus,

148
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,239
Speaker 6: Congressoman Joyce.

149
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 2: Beatty of Ohio.

150
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 6: She is a national advisory board member for the Biden

151
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 6: Harris campaign. And Jonathan Lemire has the first question.

152
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 7: Jonathan, Congressman, thanks for joining us this morning. Let me

153
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 7: pose the question to you, very similar the one the

154
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 7: president just received. We know at least Pole suggests, to

155
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 7: this point in the race, black voters have not been

156
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 7: there with the same kind of numbers or enthusiasm for

157
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 7: Joe Biden as they were four years ago.

158
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 2: What can be done?

159
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 7: What concrete steps can be done to turn that around?

160
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 2: Well, first of.

161
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 8: All, let me just say thank you, and I think

162
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 8: we're doing that right now. We're telling not just Black America,

163
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 8: but we're telling all of America the work that Joe

164
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 8: Biden and Kamala Harris have done. You can pick a topic.

165
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 8: You can talk about our economy, you can talk about

166
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 8: education and health care. They've been leading and for Black Americans.

167
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 8: President Biden kept his word on every promise he made.

168
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 8: He told us we'd have a black woman on the

169
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 8: Supreme Court.

170
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 2: He told us that he.

171
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 8: Would stand up for education, and he put the most

172
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 8: money into HBCUs than.

173
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 2: Any other president.

174
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 8: We could talk about our children or our seniors. More

175
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 8: than fifty percent of our children are now out of poverty,

176
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 8: and we're protecting our seniors. If you just look at

177
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 8: what he did to cap insulin at thirty five dollars

178
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 8: a month or to out of pocket expenses for medical

179
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 8: supplies prescriptions to two thousand dollars. He meets with the

180
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 8: Congressional Black Caucus. We've done more when you talk about

181
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 8: criminal justice and keeping our communities safe with this president.

182
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 8: So I think we have to tell our stories and

183
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 8: you have to look at it. It's still early in

184
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 8: some ways.

185
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 2: Voters start really.

186
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 8: Coming out in September.

187
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 2: In October.

188
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 8: We know how many black voters go to the polls

189
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 8: on election day.

190
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 2: So we're still all in.

191
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 8: And I can tell you as a member and char

192
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 8: Emerita of the Congressional Black Caucus, I'm all the way

193
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 8: with Joe Biden.

194
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 2: Now she says she's all in with Joe Biden, and then.

195
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: She's asked a question. You know what she says, until

196
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: he tells me otherwise. So you're on his campaign, you're

197
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: an advisor, you're of the Black Caucus, and you're now

198
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: changing your line from I'm all into I'm all in

199
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 1: with Joe Biden dot dot dot until he tells me otherwise.

200
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: So even the people that are his advisors on his

201
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: campaign are now looking at the real possibility that we're

202
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: gonna get rid of Joe Biden. So let's talk about

203
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: this strategy by the way by Democrats to delay their convention.

204
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: The reason why the tactic you need to understand is

205
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: once they lock in Joe Biden, and Joe Biden officially

206
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 1: takes the nomination and the delegates at the convention, then

207
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: the chances of replacing him drop astronomically. And the options

208
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: right now and the power structure, and I'll go over

209
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: this very quickly because it's important to understand how this

210
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: could work. So the power right now is all the delegates.

211
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: They have all the power. Okay, the power right now

212
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: to get a different candidate is in their hands at

213
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: the convention. But as soon as the convention is over,

214
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: they have zero power, like not even one percent power,

215
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 1: zero power. It gets much more complicated at that point.

216
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: To get rid of Joe Biden. There's two ways you

217
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: can do it. One, you could have a twenty fifth

218
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 1: amendment that is invoked by the cabinet where they could

219
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: actually say we believe you're unfit and we're going to

220
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: take you out. That's option number one. Number two you

221
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: could have then the people that are members of the

222
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: Democratic National Committee. Each state has members who could then

223
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: come together and pick the candidate that would be chaotic.

224
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 2: Now.

225
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: I believe, based on the timeline, that the only real

226
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: person at this moment that can take over is Kamala Harris.

227
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: I think they could have parachuted in Michelle Obama from

228
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: what I'm being told, I think she doesn't want any

229
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: part of this, especially after.

230
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 2: The assassination attempt on Donald Trump.

231
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: So she doesn't want to be a part of this

232
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: disaster dumpster fire that the Democratic Party has right now.

233
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: Could that change, of course, Kamala Harris is a clear choice.

234
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 1: I just played for you that MSNBC clip from earlier

235
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: where they're already talking about like, hey, she's got the money,

236
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: she's got the staff.

237
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 2: She would be an easy fixed on Roe v. Wade.

238
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: That would be the center point of the campaign, women's rights,

239
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: as you, she would fire up minority voters. I mean,

240
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: they're selling it, and the sales pitch is pretty solid.

241
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: There doesn't seem to be as much as the Democrats

242
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: really don't like her, any real push for any other

243
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: candid but Kamala, because I think they under stand she's

244
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: the only one that has the time and the campaign staff,

245
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: because she would keep everybody that Biden has on the team.

246
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 2: And they would immediately move forward with that.

247
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: So I believe she is the person at this moment,

248
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: very very very very very clearly. Okay, like very clearly.

249
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: That's number one, number two here. Even the Democrats are

250
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: supposed to be the protectors of Joe Biden are not

251
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: protecting him. Joyce quote, I'm all in video, who's a

252
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: black caucus? Okay, I'm all in with Joe Biden until

253
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: he tells me otherwise. But there's a lot of other

254
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: people on TV that are saying the otherwise. Is it's

255
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: it's over right? Like it's over.

256
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 5: Let me tell you about my friends at Ammo's Squared.

257
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: If you are like me and you love buying Amo

258
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: at a great price and you want to be stocked

259
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: up on Ammo always, then you're gonna love Ammo's Squared.

260
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 5: What does it do? It's amazing.

261
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: They help you stay stocked up on ammunition automatically.

262
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 5: It is truly automated.

263
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: Set it and forget it Ammo purchasing program. You pick

264
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: your calibers, you set your budget, you select a shipping trigger,

265
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: and that's it. Your Ammo grows slowly over time and

266
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: is stored for free as it builds up and it's

267
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: shipped with a click of a button or automatically however

268
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: you want to do it. It's like ammunition subscription on

269
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: steroids because you are not forced into a set budget

270
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: or a shipment every month. Instead, you decide your budget

271
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: and it can change whatever you want it to change

272
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: and schedule when you want your Ammo shipped. Ammo squared

273
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: offers over sixty different caliber options, and if you change calibers,

274
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: you can trade that in for another caliber, no problem.

275
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 5: It's customizable.

276
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: You can buy as little as a few dollars a

277
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: month and use the dollar cost averaging to your advantage

278
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: over time. Plus, if you get a bunch of Ammo

279
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: and the price skyrockets, you can sell it back for

280
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: big profits.

281
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 5: So check out Amo squared.

289
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: Helsman National affairs analysts said this on NBC News about

290
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: the patients of Democrats waiting on Joe Biden to drop out.

291
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, and look, Joe, I mean, yes, so yesterday, as

292
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 3: you said, all those people ducks in a row, Adam

293
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 3: Schiff a close Pelosi ally certainly with her blast thing.

294
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 3: First we had heard the elaked thing about how he

295
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 3: had a fundraiser over the weekend, has said he thought

296
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 3: Biden would lose. That he came out yesterday with the

297
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 3: La Times and announced it would be probably the most

298
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 3: prominent Democrats so far, almost certain soon to be senator

299
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 3: from California, formerhead of the House Intelligence Committee, came out

300
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 3: and said that he wanted Biden to step aside. And then,

301
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 3: in rapid succession, word coming out that Haakim Jeffries had

302
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,719
Speaker 3: had a tough meeting with Biden last Friday, that Schumer

303
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 3: had had a meeting on Saturday, and then last night

304
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 3: again not coincidentally, the almost the moment that Jade Vance

305
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 3: finished speaking Abby Phillips, the CNN broke the news that

306
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 3: Nancy Pelosi had the same conversation with Biden. I believe

307
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 3: it's possible she's had that conversation with Biden more than once,

308
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 3: in fact, since last Thursday.

309
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 5: And none of this is a coincidence.

310
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 3: This is what it looks like when the Democratic leadership

311
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 3: still trying to get Joe Biden to do what they

312
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 3: believe is the right thing for the party, which is

313
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 3: to step aside. Still trying to only go private, go

314
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 3: go public in a kind of oblique way, not calling

315
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 3: a press conference, not issuing anything formal. But they are

316
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 3: their patiences is now exhausted. They have looked at these

317
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 3: numbers and then come back to the money Joe. Jeffer

318
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 3: Katzenberg has devoted a lot of his professional life to

319
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 3: try to get Joe Biden into the White House, to

320
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 3: getting Joe Biden. In twenty twenty, he raised more money

321
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 3: for Joe Biden. Call told back in twenty twenty than

322
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 3: any other person. He's raised more money for Joe Biden collectively,

323
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 3: pulling all these people together, the big Hollywood fundraisers, and

324
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 3: he's a campaign co chairman.

325
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 2: Jeffrey Katzenberg.

326
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 3: Okay, he went to Biden yesterday and said the big

327
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:45,959
Speaker 3: dollar donors are done effectively I'm paraphrasing, but we can

328
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 3: still raise money at the grassroots but that means about

329
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 3: half of the money that we were expecting for the

330
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,719
Speaker 3: fall we are not going to have. Joe Biden has

331
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 3: had a significant financial advantage over Donald Trump for the

332
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 3: first half of this year, as we all know, and

333
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 3: this goes a little bit of our discussion we've been

334
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 3: having about polling.

335
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 2: They have spent one hundreds.

336
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 3: Of millions dollars already in the battleground states. And one

337
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 3: of the things that worries again Democrats and some of

338
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 3: the president's people is that they've spent a lot of

339
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 3: money in those battleground states and have not moved his

340
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 3: numbers very much. While the Trump campaign has not had

341
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 3: very much money.

342
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 1: They're now telling you that money can't save Joe Biden.

343
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 2: That's damning, folks, That is damning.

344
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: One other thing I'll say about this, Van Jones said

345
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,959
Speaker 1: last night on CNN, quote, a bullet couldn't stop Trump,

346
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 1: A virus stopped Joe Biden. They want him gone. So

347
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: let's talk about last night's speeches. Okay, this is incredible

348
00:19:55,160 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: for me and jd Vance had a speech last night

349
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: and it was a speech.

350
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 2: That a lot of kind of criticized this morning.

351
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: Just so you know, they've criticized this speech because they

352
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: thought it wasn't a lot of energy. It was one

353
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 1: of those speeches that Minie said, Hey, I think this

354
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 1: is pretty like bland speech. Giving a speech two days

355
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: after you've been gotting the phone call that you're the

356
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: vice presidential of Canada is intimidating. And do I think

357
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: it could have been punched up a little bit more

358
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: being in the room last night, Yes, I think you

359
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: could see that on Donald Trump's face a.

360
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 2: Little bit as well. I'm not gonna lie to you, guys.

361
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: I'm also not a cheerleader when I see somebody out

362
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 1: there that you know, I wanted him to kill it.

363
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: I think it was a six and a half seven

364
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: out of ten. Do I think it's going to hurt

365
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: the ticket?

366
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 2: No? Do Am I worried about him picking him now?

367
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 4: Or No?

368
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,719
Speaker 1: I also think he's better in debates than he is

369
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: at speeches, So all I care about is the VP debate.

370
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: But there were also some incredible moments in his speech

371
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: which I if you miss this, I wanted you to

372
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: hear it because I love the story of Jdvans. I

373
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: love the history of Jdvans, I love the addiction aspect

374
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: of the overcoming with his mom and his grandmother raising him.

375
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: But there was one part in the speech last night

376
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: that was truly incredible, and that was this moment in

377
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:26,959
Speaker 1: our movement.

378
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 9: Ladies and gentlemen, it's about grandparents all across this country

379
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 9: who are living on Social Security and raising grandchildren they

380
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 9: didn't expect to raise. And while we're on the topic

381
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 9: of grandparents, let me tell you another mammal story. And

382
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 9: my mamma died shortly before I left for Iraq in

383
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 9: two thousand and five. And when we went through things,

384
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 9: we found nineteen loaded handguns.

385
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 2: They were.

386
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 9: Now The thing is, they were stashed all over her house,

387
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 9: under her bed, in her closet, in the silverware drawer,

388
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 9: and we wondered what was going on. And it occurred

389
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 9: to us that towards the end of her life, mamma

390
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 9: couldn't get around so well. And so this real old

391
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 9: woman made sure that no matter where she was, she

392
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 9: was with an arm's length of whatever she needed to

393
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 9: protect her family.

394
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 2: That's who we fight for.

395
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 5: That's American spirit.

396
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 1: That for me, was the highlight of JD. Vance's speech

397
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: last night. I thought it was an incredible moment. I

398
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: thought it was one that made people love him, his family,

399
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 1: his story. It was one of those moments that I

400
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 1: think people will remember. And look, there's some people that

401
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: may have heard that in thought to themselves, Hey, that's ridiculous.

402
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: No grandmother who wanted to protect at all costs her

403
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,239
Speaker 1: the person that she loved the most, the people that

404
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 1: she loved the most. There was also another really cool

405
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: point of last night, and that was Jade Vance's wife

406
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: coming out on stage.

407
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 2: She's not a political person.

408
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 1: She is a mother firsts a wife, and she stepped

409
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: up on the stage. This is not her thing to

410
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: be a public speaker. And I always feel bad for

411
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: people that are expected to do amazing things on the

412
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: stage when it's just not what they do.

413
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 2: They do they're not trained for it.

414
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: Spouses and politics are treated like they are supposed to

415
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: be as good as their husband or their wife, and

416
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: I don't think that's fair. And there were people last

417
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: night that I hope she didn't screw this up. I

418
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: thought that Jade Vance's wife did an amazing job introducing

419
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 1: her husband to the world because there's a lot of

420
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: people that were going to watch JD for the very

421
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: very first time.

422
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 2: I want you to hear her introduction, Good.

423
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 10: Evening, Good evening. When I was asked to introduce my

424
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 10: husband JD vance to all of you, I was at

425
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 10: a loss. What could I say that hasn't already been

426
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 10: said before? After all, the man was already the subject

427
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 10: of Ron Howard movie. JD has shared much of his

428
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 10: life through his own eloquent words in his book He'll

429
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 10: Billy Elogy. During his Senate campaign and now as a

430
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 10: City United States Senator, it occurred to me that there

431
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 10: was only one thing to do, to explain from the

432
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 10: heart why I love and admire JD and stand here

433
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 10: beside him today, and why he will make a great

434
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 10: Vice President of the United States. I met JD in

435
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 10: law school when he was fresh out of Ohio State,

436
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 10: which he attended with the support of the GI Bill.

437
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 10: We were friends first, because I mean, who wouldn't want

438
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 10: to be friends with JD. He was then as now,

439
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 10: the most interesting person I knew, A working class guy

440
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 10: who had overcome childhood traumas that I could barely fathom

441
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 10: to end up at Yale Law School, a tough marine

442
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 10: who had served in Iraq, but whose idea of a

443
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 10: good time was playing with puppies. And watching the movie Babe,

444
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 10: the most determined person I knew, with one overriding ambition

445
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 10: to become a husband and a father, and to build

446
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 10: the kind of tight knit family that he had longed

447
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 10: for as a child. My background is very different from JD's.

448
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:15,719
Speaker 10: I grew up in San Diego, in a middle class community,

449
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 10: with two loving parents, both immigrants from India, and a

450
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 10: wonderful sister that Jad and I could meet at all,

451
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 10: let alone fall in love and Mary is a testament

452
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 10: to this great country. It is also a testament to JD,

453
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 10: and it tells you something about who he is. When

454
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 10: JD met me, he approached our differences with curiosity and enthusiasm.

455
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 10: He wanted to know everything about me, where I came from,

456
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 10: what my life had been like. Although he's a meat

457
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 10: and potatoes kind of guy, he adapted to my vegetarian

458
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 10: diet and learned to cook food from my mother Indian food.

459
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 10: Before I knew it, he had become an integral part

460
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 10: of my family, a person I could not meant could

461
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 10: not imagine living without. The JD I knew then is

462
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 10: the same JD you see today, except for that beard

463
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 10: and his goals in this new role are the same

464
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 10: that he has pursued for our family, to keep people safe,

465
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 10: to create opportunities, to build a better life, and to

466
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 10: solve problems with an open mind. It's safe to say

467
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 10: that neither JD nor I expected to find ourselves in

468
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 10: this position. But it's hard to imagine a more powerful

469
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 10: example of the American dream a boy from Middletown, Ohio.

470
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: You know, I got to say that I thought that

471
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: her explaining who he is and explaining what he stands

472
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 1: for and where he came from was one of the

473
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: most powerful moments of the night from someone that's like, look,

474
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: I married him, I love him, I want to support him,

475
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: And it was very real. It came across very authentic,

476
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: I think in the hall, and I think it translated

477
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: on TV. It excited me for his family and the

478
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: story of where he came from is an important one.

479
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: It's going to relate to many different people, and I

480
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: got to say that was one of my highlights I

481
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: think last night in the convention hall, was listening to

482
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: her introduce her husband that she's clearly so proud of

483
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: and the father of our children is so proud of.

484
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 2: I love it.

485
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: These are the type of stories that I think we

486
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: as conservatives need to just enjoy and be excited at

487
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: the age of JD.

488
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 2: Van's and mean, he's younger than I am, for goodness sakes.

489
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: And I never get to say that, and I just

490
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for them. I love the fact that he

491
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: is this type of individual with small kids that can

492
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: relate to the family's real issues in America today, whether

493
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: it's public education, whether it's just paying for things with kids,

494
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: the cost of living, these are things that he brings

495
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: the ticket because of his age and his wife and

496
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: their family.

497
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 2: That is incredible.
