1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,960 Speaker 1: Seventy six days from now, the American people will make 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,960 Speaker 1: a decision that sets the course for our nation for 3 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: the balance of the twenty first century. This is the warning. 4 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 1: Here is how Michelle Obama put it. 5 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 2: Something wonderfully magical is in the air, isn't it. Yeah, 6 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 2: you know we're feeling it here in this arena, but 7 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 2: it's spreading all across this country. We love a familiar 8 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 2: feeling that's been buried too deep for far too long. 9 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 2: You know what I'm talking about. It's the contagious power 10 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 2: of hope. 11 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 1: Here is how President Obama put it. 12 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 3: We do not need four more years a bluster and 13 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 3: bumbling and chaos. We have seen that movie before, and 14 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 3: we all know that the sequel is usually worse. America's 15 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 3: lad it for a new chapter. 16 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: America's read it for a better story. 17 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 3: We are ready for a president Kamala Harris. 18 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: They couldn't have been more correct. And if you were 19 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: lucky enough last night to watch the Democratic National Convention, 20 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: you saw something that was spectacular. You saw three of 21 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: the greatest convention speeches, back to back to back, that 22 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: have ever been in the modern age, in the electronic age, 23 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: in the radio and television age, Doug Amhalk, Michelle Obama, 24 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: and the forty fourth President of the un United States 25 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: of America, Barack Obama, brought it home. Doug em Off 26 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: introduced us to the woman he loves, and boyd does 27 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: he love her deeply. He introduced the whole country to her. 28 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: And you know what, the whole country is sitting right 29 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 1: now looking at the person who may well be the 30 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 1: forty seventh President of the United States, and they're seeing 31 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: a picture of someone they don't know very well coming 32 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: into view. And you know what, we like her. The 33 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: American people are going to like Kamala Harris. Her life 34 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: has been one of achievement and excellence. And what Michelle 35 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: Obama said yesterday, for every black person in the country, 36 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: for every person of color, for every middle class white 37 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: kid like me who wasn't given anything, wasn't handed anything, 38 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: had to work hard, this will resonate. 39 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 2: She understands that most of us will never be afforded 40 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 2: the grace of failing forward. We will never benefit from 41 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 2: the affirmative action of generational wealth. If we see a 42 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 2: mountain in front of us, we don't expect there to 43 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 2: be an escalator waiting to take us to the top. 44 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 3: Now we put our. 45 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 2: Heads down, we get to work. In America, we do something. 46 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: And let's be clear. What Donald Trump did to Barack 47 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: Obama and to Michelle Obama, how he rose in national 48 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: politics was on the back of a racist conspiracy That 49 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: was bullshit. The core of the lie was that Barack 50 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: Obama was the Manchurian president, some type of secret Muslim, 51 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: a black Kenyon, a communist. It was all bullshit. Michelle 52 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: Obama president of Obama and Doug Emhoff painted a picture. 53 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: They painted a picture of Kamala Harris's character, her decency, 54 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: her dignity, her upbringing. Michelle Obama in terms of small 55 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: SA conservatism, values like be thrifty, work hard, get to 56 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: the office first. Those values of hard work that until 57 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: a couple years ago, there was a great consensus that 58 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: had endured through most of our history that these American 59 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: values were intrinsically linked to the success of the country. 60 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: The idea no one owes you anything, the idea that 61 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 1: you should play fair, play by the rules. The compact 62 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: in the country is if you work hard to do that, 63 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: you should be able to get ahead. That compact has 64 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: been broken and it has to be restored. But well, 65 00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: Michelle Obama so brilliantly talked about were the values that 66 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: we all share, the overwhelming majority, the things that were 67 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: taught to us by our parents, by a generation, the 68 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: generation that was the children for me, of the generation 69 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: that fought the Second World War, and on and on 70 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: and on. Michelle Obama talked about black jobs in a 71 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: brilliant line, I. 72 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 2: Want to know who's gonna tell him, Who's gonna tell 73 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 2: him that the job he's currently seeking might just be 74 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:35,679 Speaker 2: one of those black jobs. 75 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: This matters. I am a fifty three year old white man. 76 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: And something extremely important was said last night. Unless we 77 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: live in a country where every single one of us 78 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 1: is free, where we respect the inalienable rights of every person, 79 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: regardless of regardless of creed, regardless of religion, then none 80 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 1: of us are truly free. If some of us are not, 81 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 1: then all of us are not, because freedom that can 82 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: be stripped for some in America can be stripped from all. 83 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is an odious, rancid figure. Yesterday, Donald Trump 84 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: was in Michigan, where the Ku Klux Klan is known 85 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: to have their epicenter. A week ago, there was a 86 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: white supremacist march. Donald Trump didn't talk about it, he 87 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: didn't condemn it, and he went there for a specific 88 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: reason to send a message to the surging extremists who 89 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 1: are filling the ranks of the oathkeepers and the proud 90 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: boys in the militia groups. As documented by Pro Publica, 91 00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: Donald Trump knew exactly where he was going. It was purposeful, 92 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 1: it was deliberate, it was utterly noxious, and it was 93 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: completely poisoned. The remedy for this is not more poison. 94 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: It's better. And that is what Michelle Obama talked about. Better, 95 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: it's what Barack Obama talked about. And better, that's what 96 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: Doug Emhoff talked about. He talked about the person he 97 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: knows and loves that has the capacity to bring the 98 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: country together and do better for all of us. The 99 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: second night of the Democratic National Convention was a towering success. 100 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: It was magnificent. The first night was a nostalgic night. 101 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: Gratitude is important, and the Democratic Party needed to express 102 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: gratitude to President Biden. But last night the torch was passed. 103 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: The future is right now. Get involved in this campaign. 104 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: Do something, Do it now today when you hear this 105 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: call email, get involved. You're an American participation is a 106 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: requirement of citizenship. This is the warning we'll cover every 107 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: day of the next seventy six. When the leaves start 108 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: to fall, one of the greatest fights in the history 109 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: of American politics will be well underway. It will be close, 110 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 1: there will be tough days, but in the end, the 111 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 1: choice is clear. It is America or Trump. And that's 112 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 1: why I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walls, 113 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: and I hope you will too, because you can't love 114 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: your country if you hate half the people in it. 115 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: And Donald Trump hates an awful lot of people who 116 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: I love. Those people are known throughout the world by 117 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:14,439 Speaker 1: a singular name that has great meaning. Michelle Obama reminded 118 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: us of it. I'm an American, and it's unacceptable to 119 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: have as an American president a man who hates so 120 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: many of our fellow Americans. For whatever reason. That's broken 121 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: in his heart and in his soul. Donald Trump is 122 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: unfit morally, mentally, physically. Kamala Harris is the antidote to 123 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: the poison that has been unleashed without restriction, without stopping 124 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,959 Speaker 1: it inside the Republican Party for ten long years. She's 125 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: gonna stop it because she's a better person, she's a 126 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: better American, she's a better leader, and she's a more 127 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: decent vote.
