Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty And as she's been listening, told
Speaker 1: you we were monitoring the DNC convention and we would
Speaker 1: bring the president's remarks. Right now, the President's daughter, Ashley Biden,
Speaker 1: is delivering her remarks, and then the President will be
Speaker 1: speaking after her. So we're going to go right now
Speaker 1: to Ashley Biden.
Speaker 2: We don't tell you enough that you are the love
Speaker 2: of our lives and the life of our love. I
Speaker 2: had my wedding reception in my parents' backyard.
Speaker 1: At the time.
Speaker 2: My dad was vice president, but he was also that
Speaker 2: dad who literally set up the entire reception. He was
Speaker 2: riding around and is John Deere for Willer, fixing the
Speaker 2: place settings, arranging the plants, and by the way, he
Speaker 2: was very emotional. I thought that I would be a mess,
Speaker 2: but he was the one crying and I was the
Speaker 2: one who had to comfort him. Before he walked me
Speaker 2: down the aisle, he turned to me and said that
Speaker 2: he would always be my best friend. All these years later, Dad,
Speaker 2: you are still my best friend. His example in service
Speaker 2: inspired my career. I'm a social worker in Philadelphia. I
Speaker 2: support formerly incarcerated women as they heal from past trauma
Speaker 2: and they reclaim their lives. Dad always told me that
Speaker 2: I was no better than anybody else, and nobody was
Speaker 2: better than me. He taught me that everyone deserves a
Speaker 2: fair shot and that we shouldn't leave anyone behind. That's
Speaker 2: what you learn from a fighter who has been underestimated
Speaker 2: his entire life. When I look at Dad, I see grace, strength,
Speaker 2: and humility. I see one of the most consequential leaders
Speaker 2: ever in history. And I also know that he never
Speaker 2: stops thinking about you, about your dreams, about your dignity,
Speaker 2: about your opportunities, about your family. Dad knows that family
Speaker 2: is everything. When Hunter and I lost our brother Bo
Speaker 2: to cancer in twenty fifteen, the grief and the pain
Speaker 2: felt like it might never end. Dad had the capacity
Speaker 2: to step out of his own pain and absorb ours.
Speaker 2: And I know that Bo is here with us tonight,
Speaker 2: as he is always with us. After Bau passed, I
Speaker 2: got this tattoo on my wrist. It says courage dear heart,
Speaker 2: A reminder to myself to keep going, to get back
Speaker 2: up like my Dad has always done. He has taught
Speaker 2: me that a courageous heart is a miraculous thing. A
Speaker 2: courageous heart can heal a family. A courageous heart can
Speaker 2: heal a nation and maybe even the world. And now
Speaker 2: this election requires the courageous hearts of all of us.
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty, my dad selected Kamala Harris to beat
Speaker 2: Donald Trump.
Speaker 3: And he knows in twenty.
Speaker 2: Twenty four she will beat Donald Trump again. So tonight
Speaker 2: I am asking you, if you stood with us in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty, call upon your courageous heart, stand with us today.
Speaker 2: Work harder than you have ever worked before in your life.
Speaker 2: This is the fight of our lifetime. Our freedom, our democracy,
Speaker 2: our reproductive rights, all of this.
Speaker 1: All of it is on the ballot.
Speaker 2: And I know together we can do this because my
Speaker 2: dad help show us the way. And now I would
Speaker 2: like to introduce my father. You're forty sixth President of
Speaker 2: the United States, Joe Biden.
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you
Speaker 3: for so much. I'll tell you what to my dearest daughter, Ashley,
Speaker 3: God love you. You're incredible. Thank you for introduction and
Speaker 3: for me in my courageous heart.
Speaker 4: Oh, I would Hunter and our entire family and especially
Speaker 4: our rock Jill, who as those of you who know
Speaker 4: us she still leaves me both breathless and speechless.
Speaker 3: Everybody knows her. I love her more than she loves me.
Speaker 4: She walks down the stairs, and I still get that going.
Speaker 3: Boom boom, boom boom. We all will know me. No,
Speaker 3: and I'm kidding.
Speaker 4: Let's get a special round of applause, our first lady,
Speaker 4: joe Biden, my dad. My dad used to have an
Speaker 4: expression for real. He'd say, Joey family is the beginning,
Speaker 4: the middle, and the end.
Speaker 3: And I love you all books in America. I love
Speaker 3: you books. Let me ask you. Let me ask you.
Speaker 4: Are you ready to vote for freedom?
Speaker 3: Are you ready to.
Speaker 4: Vote for democracy and for America?
Speaker 3: Let me ask you.
Speaker 4: Are you ready to elect Kamala Harris and sim Waltz.
Speaker 3: I haven't been right from the United.
Speaker 4: States, my fellow Democrats, my fellow Americans. Nearly four years ago,
Speaker 4: in winter, on the step to the Capitol on a
Speaker 4: cold January day, I raised my right hand and I
Speaker 4: swore an oath to you and to God to preserve, protect,
Speaker 4: and defend the Constitution and the faithfully execute the office
Speaker 4: of the President of the United States. In front of me,
Speaker 4: in front of me was the city surrounded by the
Speaker 4: National Guard behind me, a capital just two weeks before, and.
Speaker 3: Another run by a violent mob.
Speaker 4: But I knew then, from the bottom of my heart
Speaker 4: that I knew now there is no place in America
Speaker 4: for political violence.
Speaker 3: None.
Speaker 4: You cannot say you love your country only when you win.
Speaker 3: In that moment, I wasn't looking to the past. I
Speaker 3: was looking at the future.
Speaker 4: I spoke of the work at hand, the moment we
Speaker 4: had to meet. It was, as I told you then,
Speaker 4: a winter of peril and possibility, A peril and possibility
Speaker 4: where the grip of a once in a century pandemic,
Speaker 4: historic joblessness, a call for racial justice long overdue, Claire,
Speaker 4: and present threats to our very democracy. Thank you, And
Speaker 4: yet yeah, I believe then and I believe now. The
Speaker 4: progress was, it is possible, Justice is achievable, and our
Speaker 4: best days are not behind us, They're ever before us.
Speaker 4: Now it's summer, the winter has passed. Of a grateful heart,
Speaker 4: I stand before you now on this August night to
Speaker 4: report that democracy has prevailed democracy democras had the litters,
Speaker 4: and now democracy must be preserved.
Speaker 3: You've heard me say it before.
Speaker 4: We're facing inflection point, one of those rare moments in
Speaker 4: history one of the decisions we make now will determine
Speaker 4: the fate of our nation and the world for decades
Speaker 4: to come.
Speaker 3: That's not hyperble I mean it literally.
Speaker 4: We're in a battle for the very soul America.
Speaker 3: I ran for.
Speaker 4: President of twenty twenty because of what I saw at
Speaker 4: Charlotte's in August of twenty seventeen. Extremists coming out of
Speaker 4: the woods carrying torches, their veins bulging from their necks,
Speaker 4: carrying Nazi swastikas, and changing the same exact anti Semitic
Speaker 4: bile that was hurting Germany in the early thirties. Neo Nazis,
Speaker 4: white supremacists, the kukus Klan, so emboldened by a president
Speaker 4: then in the White House that they saw as an ally,
Speaker 4: they didn't even bother to wear their hoods.
Speaker 3: Kate was on the march.
Speaker 4: In America, old ghosts and new garments, stirring up the
Speaker 4: oldest divisions, stoking the oldest fears, giving oxygen to the
Speaker 4: old horses that they long sought to tear part of America.
Speaker 3: And the process, a young woman was killed.
Speaker 4: When I contacted her mother asked about what happened, she
Speaker 4: told me, when the president was asked what he thought
Speaker 4: had happened. Donald Trump said, my quote, there are very
Speaker 4: fine people on both sides.
Speaker 3: My god, that's what he said. That is what he.
Speaker 4: Said and what he meant. That's what I realized. Had
Speaker 4: listened to the admonition of my dead son. I could
Speaker 4: not stay in the sidelines.
Speaker 3: So I ran.
Speaker 4: Because I had no intention of running again. I just
Speaker 4: lost part of my soul. But I ran with a
Speaker 4: deep conviction. In America, I know, and in America where honesty, dignity,
Speaker 4: decency still matter, And America where everyone has a fair
Speaker 4: shot and hate has no safe harbor.
Speaker 3: And America where the fundamental.
Speaker 4: Created this nation that all of us are created equal.
Speaker 4: It's still very much alive, and a broad coalition of Americas.
Speaker 3: Joined with me.
Speaker 4: Eighty one million voters voted for us, more than any
Speaker 4: time in all of history because of all of you
Speaker 4: in this room and others. We came together in twenty
Speaker 4: twenty to save democracy. As your president, I've been determined
Speaker 4: to keep America moving forward, not going back, to stand
Speaker 4: against hate and violence in all its forms, to be
Speaker 4: a nation where we not only live with, but thrive
Speaker 4: on diversity. Demonize you, no one leave you. No one
Speaker 4: behind and becoming a nation, and we profess to be.
Speaker 3: I also ran.
Speaker 4: To rebuild the backbone of America, the middle class.
Speaker 3: I made a.
Speaker 4: Commitment to you that I be a president of all Americans,
Speaker 4: whether you vote for me or not.
Speaker 3: We have done that study show the major bills.
Speaker 4: We have passed actually delivered more or the red stage
Speaker 4: than blue because the job of the president is the
Speaker 4: litter to all of America. Because of you, and I'm
Speaker 4: not exaggerating. Because of you, we've had around those extraordinary
Speaker 4: four years of progress ever period.
Speaker 3: When I say we, I mean common Land me. Just
Speaker 3: think about it.
Speaker 4: COVID no longer controls our lives, but God, from economic
Speaker 4: crisis to the strongest economy in the entire world, record
Speaker 4: sixty million new jobs, record small business growth, record high, stock.
Speaker 3: Market record high four.
Speaker 4: One ks, wages up and inflation down way down and
Speaker 4: continuing to go down. The smallest racial wealth gap in
Speaker 4: twenty years. And yes, we both know we have more
Speaker 4: to do, but we're moving in the right direction. More
Speaker 4: Americans that peace of mind that comes from having health insurance.
Speaker 3: More Americans have.
Speaker 4: Health insurance today than ever before in American history.
Speaker 3: And after as a young senator beginning to fight. We're
Speaker 3: goting to fight.
Speaker 4: For fifty years to give Medicare the power to negotiate
Speaker 4: locals to give you the drug prices. We finally beat
Speaker 4: big Pharma and guests who cast the tide breaking vote
Speaker 4: president seemed to be President Kamala Harris.
Speaker 3: And now it's the law of the land.
Speaker 4: Instead of paying four hundred dollars a month or insulentce
Speaker 4: senior to diabetes will pay thirty five a month. The
Speaker 4: while we passed already he closes started in January.
Speaker 3: Every senior's total.
Speaker 4: Prescription costs can be capped at two thousand dollars, no matter.
Speaker 3: How expensive the drugs they have.
Speaker 4: And what we don't focus on and our republic events
Speaker 4: don't seem to understand. All right for him, don't just
Speaker 4: save seniors' money. They saved the American taxpayer's money. You know,
Speaker 4: when we just passed saved is saved one hundred and
Speaker 4: sixty billion dollars over the next decade. That's not hyperbolet
Speaker 4: is because Medicare no longer has to pay those exorbitant
Speaker 4: prices to the big farm. Look, look, thank you Kamala too.
Speaker 3: Look, coach, how can we.
Speaker 4: Have the strongest economy in the world without the best
Speaker 4: infrastructure in the world. Donald Trump promised infrastructure week.
Speaker 3: Every week for four years, and he never built a
Speaker 3: damn thing.
Speaker 4: But now because of Kama I've done. Remember we're told
Speaker 4: we couldn't get it done. Remember when we came in office,
Speaker 4: we couldn't get anything past. But right now we're giving
Speaker 4: the America an infrastructure decade, not week.
Speaker 3: We're modernizing our roads.
Speaker 4: Our bridges, our ports, our airports, our trains, our buses,
Speaker 4: removing every pipe from schools and homes so every child
Speaker 4: can drink clean water, Providing affordable high speed internet for
Speaker 4: every America no matter where they live, unlike not unlike
Speaker 4: but Roosevelt did with electricity and so much more. We
Speaker 4: are united the country. We're growing our economy, we're improving.
Speaker 3: Our quality of life.
Speaker 4: And we're building a better America because that's who we are.
Speaker 4: How can we meet the strongest nation in the world
Speaker 4: without leading the world in science and technology? After years
Speaker 4: on of our semiconductor chips from abroad, which American invented
Speaker 4: that those chips, our Chips and Science Act meant the
Speaker 4: private coming from around the world are now investing moly
Speaker 4: tens of billions of dollars to build new chip factories
Speaker 4: right here in America. And over that period they'll create
Speaker 4: tens of thousands of jobs, and many of those jobs
Speaker 4: and the so called fabs the building to make the
Speaker 4: chips that's being constructed now. And guess what the average
Speaker 4: salary of those fabs size of the football field will
Speaker 4: be over one hundred thousand dollars a year.
Speaker 3: And you don't need a college.
Speaker 4: Degree because of you and so many electeds out there.
Speaker 4: American manufacturers back where they will say we would lead
Speaker 4: the world of manufacturing a hundred thousand new manufacturing jobs.
Speaker 4: All Republican friends and others made sure they'd go abroad
Speaker 4: to get the cheapest laver. We used to import products
Speaker 4: and export jobs. Now we export America products and create
Speaker 4: American jobs.
Speaker 1: And listening can't find AM six forty where jobs belong.
Speaker 3: For every new job, with every new.
Speaker 4: Factory, pride and hope is being brought back to communities
Speaker 4: throughout the country that were left behind. You know you're
Speaker 4: from many of you. You know what it's like when
Speaker 4: that factory closed, or your mother, your father, your grandmother,
Speaker 4: grandfather worked and now you're back providing once again. Proving
Speaker 4: the Wall Street didn't build America. The middle class build
Speaker 4: America and unions. Unions built the middle class. It's been
Speaker 4: my view since I came to the Senate, and that's
Speaker 4: why I'm proud that when the first president the walk
Speaker 4: a picket line and be leveled, the most pro union
Speaker 4: president history, and I accept it.
Speaker 3: That's a fact.
Speaker 5: Because the unions do well. We all do well. You
Speaker 5: got it, man, you got it.
Speaker 3: I brave. I'm proud.
Speaker 4: Look, remember it told we couldn't get anything done because
Speaker 4: we couldn't get anything done in the Congress.
Speaker 3: Or your support. We passed the most.
Speaker 4: Significant climate law in the history of mankind.
Speaker 3: For three hundred and.
Speaker 4: Seventy billion dollars, cutting carbon emissions in half by twenty thirty,
Speaker 4: launching a Climate Corps similar to America Corps Prese Corps,
Speaker 4: treading tens of thousands of jobs for young people in
Speaker 4: the future who are going to make sure this continues,
Speaker 4: Trading hundreds of thousands of jobs and clean energy for
Speaker 4: American workers including the IBW, installing five hundred thousand, five
Speaker 4: hundred thousand charging stations all across Americans, and in the
Speaker 4: process reducing carbon emissions.
Speaker 3: And we're seeing it. We're seeing to.
Speaker 4: It that the first beneficiary's environmental inlitiatives are those fence
Speaker 4: line communities that have been smothered by the legacy of pollution.
Speaker 4: Louisiana and Delaware wrote nine. All the factors, all those
Speaker 4: chemical factors, are right next to the poorest neighborhoods.
Speaker 3: They're the ones we're going to bring back. And how
Speaker 3: how can we be.
Speaker 4: The greatest nation in the world without the best education
Speaker 4: system in the world. Donald trouble to Republican friends, and
Speaker 4: not only can't think, they can't read very well. Seriously
Speaker 4: think about it, look at their project.
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty five. Want to do away with the part
Speaker 3: of education well. During the pandemic, Kamahai.
Speaker 4: Helped states and cities get back their schools back open,
Speaker 4: and we gave public.
Speaker 3: School teachers a raise.
Speaker 4: We created apprenticeships with business in the communities, putting students
Speaker 4: on a path a good playing job whether.
Speaker 3: Or not they go to college.
Speaker 4: And by the way, we're making college a hell of
Speaker 4: a lot more affordable, increasing pilgrams by nine hundred dollars.
Speaker 4: Over fifteen billion dollars face PCUS. Minority servants I including
Speaker 4: Hispanic institutions and travel colleges. We kept our commitment provide
Speaker 4: more student relief than ever by lifting the burden of
Speaker 4: helping millions of families so they could get married, start
Speaker 4: a family by home, and begin to build family wealth
Speaker 4: and contributed to the community and grow our economy. It's
Speaker 4: not costing us, it's creating more wealth. We fundamentally transferred
Speaker 4: how our transformed how our economy grows from the middle
Speaker 4: out and the bottom up instead of the top down.
Speaker 3: You know, my dad, you.
Speaker 4: Said there wasn't a whole hell of a lot to
Speaker 4: drop down on my kitchen table at the end of
Speaker 4: the month. I come from basic middle class family, three
Speaker 4: bedroom house, four kids, and grandpapa lived with us, decent neighborhood,
Speaker 4: but never a penny to spare. And look, that top
Speaker 4: down notion never worked. A lot of Democrats didn't think it.
Speaker 4: Both thought it worked but a dozen And when we
Speaker 4: did all that done, everybody can do well. Everybody. Donald
Speaker 4: Trump calls America a failing nation.
Speaker 3: Nod I'm saying thing, but think about this. Think about this,
Speaker 3: He publicly.
Speaker 4: Says to the whole world, I'm gonna say something outragious.
Speaker 4: I know more foreign leaders by their first names and
Speaker 4: know them well than anybody live just because I'm so
Speaker 4: damn old.
Speaker 3: But I'm not joking.
Speaker 4: Speak of the message he sends around the world. When
Speaker 4: he talks about America being a faily nation, he says
Speaker 4: we're losing. He's the loser. He's dead wrong. Many of
Speaker 4: you are very successful people who travel the world. Name
Speaker 4: me a country in the world that doesn't think for
Speaker 4: the leading nation of the world without America. Not a joke,
Speaker 4: think about it, I mean literal, who could lead the
Speaker 4: world other than the United States of America.
Speaker 3: Well, guess what.
Speaker 4: America is winning and the world's better off for it.
Speaker 3: America is more prosperous.
Speaker 4: And America are safety today than runner Donald Trump. Trump
Speaker 4: continues to lie about crime in America like everything else.
Speaker 4: Guess what, On his watch, the murder rate went up
Speaker 4: thirty percent, the biggest increase in history. Meanwhile, we made
Speaker 4: the largest investment common line in public safety ever.
Speaker 3: Now the murder rate is.
Speaker 4: Falling faster than any time in history. Violent crime has
Speaker 4: dropped to the lowest level of more than fifty years,
Speaker 4: and crime will keep coming down.
Speaker 3: When we put a prosecutor in.
Speaker 4: The oval office instead of a convicted fel when folks,
Speaker 4: the singlish Senator from the Sea, Senator from California and
Speaker 4: I passed the first ban on assault weapons.
Speaker 3: And guess what it worked.
Speaker 4: If we care about public safety, we need to prevent
Speaker 4: gun violence.
Speaker 3: And it makes me a shame when I travel the world,
Speaker 3: which I do.
Speaker 4: More children in America are killed by a gunshot than
Speaker 4: any other cause in the United States. More die from
Speaker 4: a bullet than cancer accidents or anything else in the
Speaker 4: United States of America. My god, that's why KAMAI are
Speaker 4: proud we beat the end of right when we passed
Speaker 4: the first major bipartis in contact you.
Speaker 3: On thirty years.
Speaker 4: I'm serious. That comes from here. And now it's time
Speaker 4: to ban the sole weapons again and demand universal background checks.
Speaker 3: It's hard.
Speaker 4: I never thought I'd stand before a crowd of Democrats
Speaker 4: and refer to a president as a liar.
Speaker 3: So many times now. I'm not trying to be funny.
Speaker 3: It's sad.
Speaker 4: Trump continues to lie about the border. Here's what he
Speaker 4: won't tell you. Trump killed the strongest bipart of some
Speaker 4: border deal in.
Speaker 3: The history of the United States that we negotiated with.
Speaker 3: A Senate Republican took four weeks. Once it passed and
Speaker 3: I acknowledged.
Speaker 4: Those expansive border change in American history. He called Senators
Speaker 4: to say, don't support the bipatters and bill. He said
Speaker 4: it would help me politically and hurt him politically.
Speaker 3: My god, now I'm serious. Think about it, not a joke.
Speaker 4: Ask even the press who doesn't like me, they'll tell
Speaker 4: you that's true. Typically Trump, once again putting himself first
Speaker 4: in America. Last then I had to take executive action.
Speaker 4: The result of the executive action I took, border encounters
Speaker 4: have dropped over fifty percent. In fact, there are fewer
Speaker 4: border crosses the day.
Speaker 3: That when Donald Trump left office.
Speaker 4: And unlike Trump, we will not demonize immigrants saying they're
Speaker 4: the poison of blood of America, poison the blood.
Speaker 3: Of our country.
Speaker 4: Common Arch committed to strengthening of legal immigration, including protecting
Speaker 4: Dreamers and more.
Speaker 1: This is camfi am sext's forty Los Angeles in Orange County.
Speaker 4: And here's what else I believe in protecting your freedom.
Speaker 4: You're freedom to vote, you're freedom of love who you love,
Speaker 4: and your freedom to choose its decision over turning Robie
Speaker 4: Wade that you heard earlier tonight, the United States Supreme
Speaker 4: Court majority wrote the following quote, women or not without
Speaker 4: electrical without not allowed.
Speaker 3: There's not without electoral, electoral or political power. No kidding, Maga.
Speaker 4: Republicans found out the power women in twenty twenty two,
Speaker 4: and Donald Trump is going to find out the power
Speaker 4: women in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3: All right, now we're Trump, there's MegaR.
Speaker 4: Republican right wingers seek your race history. We Democrats continue
Speaker 4: to write history and make more history. I'm proud. I'm
Speaker 4: proud I've kept my commitment to appoint the first black
Speaker 4: women in the United State Supreme Court, the Tanji Brown Jackson,
Speaker 4: the symbol for every young woman in America that you
Speaker 4: can do anything. I'm proud I've kept my commitment to
Speaker 4: have an administration looks like America and the taps in
Speaker 4: the full talent of our nation, the most diverse cabinet
Speaker 4: in history, including the first black women in South Asian
Speaker 4: descent to serve as Vice President and will soon to
Speaker 4: serve as the forty seventh President of.
Speaker 3: The United States. She is good. Look, thank you, Kamalo books.
Speaker 4: I've long said we have many obligations as the nation,
Speaker 4: but I got in trouble years ago for saying I'd
Speaker 4: make no apologies. We have only one truly sacred obligation
Speaker 4: to prepare and to crypt those we send to war
Speaker 4: and care for them and their families when they come
Speaker 4: home and when they don't.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 4: I'm so proud they've written and signed the Pack Act,
Speaker 4: almost significant laws ever, helping veteran to their families exposed
Speaker 4: of toxic materials like burn pits in Asian orange.
Speaker 3: I was around during the Vietnam War. It's hard.
Speaker 4: Nobody's able to prove that there's illness is the consequence
Speaker 4: of agent orange. And no one was able to prove
Speaker 4: initial that because they lived in burn pitsh like my
Speaker 4: son lived next to in Iraq for a.
Speaker 3: Year, that is the cause of the illness.
Speaker 4: But because of the Pack Act, a surviving spouse to
Speaker 4: two children is now eligible for a stipend about three
Speaker 4: thousand dollars a month, and those children who lost us
Speaker 4: a parent are eligible for tuition benefits to go to
Speaker 4: college and to get job training.
Speaker 3: It's already helping over one million.
Speaker 4: Vetterors to their families just so far. Well, I love them,
Speaker 4: and I so proud of my son's service. We get it,
Speaker 4: but guess who doesn't get it and doesn't respect our veterans.
Speaker 4: We know from his own chief of staff, a four
Speaker 4: star General John Delly, that Trump went in Europe would
Speaker 4: not go to the grave sites in one of those France,
Speaker 4: the brave service members who gave their lives of this country.
Speaker 4: He called them suckers and losers. Who in the hell
Speaker 4: does he think he is? Who does he think he is?
Speaker 4: There's no words for a person.
Speaker 3: They're not the words of a person not worthy of being commander.
Speaker 4: In chief period, not then, not now, and not ever.
Speaker 3: I mean that. I mean that in the bottom of
Speaker 3: my heart, just as no commander.
Speaker 4: In chief should ever bow down the dictator the way
Speaker 4: Trump bows down to putin. I never have and I
Speaker 4: promise you, Kamala Harris will never do it, will never
Speaker 4: bow dollars. When Trump left office, Europe and NATO was
Speaker 4: in tatters, not a joke.
Speaker 3: America First Doctrine changed our whole image in the world.
Speaker 4: Well, I spent they gave the hours about one hundred
Speaker 4: and ninety hours some total, been in my counterparts or
Speaker 4: heads of state in Europe to strengthen NATO.
Speaker 3: We did.
Speaker 4: Well, You're not in Europe like it had been nine
Speaker 4: for years, adding Fiddling and Sweden to NATO. Ten days
Speaker 4: before he died, Henry Kissinger called and said, not since,
Speaker 4: not since Napoleon, as Europe not looked over the shoulder
Speaker 4: a Russia with dread.
Speaker 3: Until now until now. Well, guess what Punin thought he'd.
Speaker 4: Take key in three days, three years later, Ukraine is
Speaker 4: still free. When I came to office, the conventional wisdom
Speaker 4: was that China would anotherly surpass the United States.
Speaker 3: They haven't noticed. No one's saying that now.
Speaker 4: Now, don't keep working to bring hostages home and end
Speaker 4: the war in Gaza and bring pieces of curtain to
Speaker 4: the least.
Speaker 3: As you know, I wrote.
Speaker 4: A peace treaty for Gaza two days ago.
Speaker 3: I put forward a proposal that has.
Speaker 4: Brought us closer to doing that than we've done since
Speaker 4: October seventh. We're working around the clock, my Secretary of State,
Speaker 4: prevent a wider war, and reunite hostages to their families,
Speaker 4: and surge humanitarian health and food assistance into Gaza.
Speaker 3: Now ten.
Speaker 4: The civilian suffering of the palaest Indian people, and finally, finally,
Speaker 4: finally deliver a cease firing in this war. Those protesters
Speaker 4: out in the Street.
Speaker 3: They have a point.
Speaker 4: A lot of innocent people are being killed on both sides.
Speaker 3: Jessa.
Speaker 4: We worked around the clock to bring home wrongfully detained.
Speaker 3: Americans and others from.
Speaker 4: Russia, one of the most complicated.
Speaker 3: Swaps in history. But they're home. Come am I going
Speaker 3: to keep working.
Speaker 1: I mean all.

Speaker 4: are people of character. It's been our honor to serve
Speaker 4: alongside them, and we know that Tim and Gwyn.
Speaker 3: Waltz are also people of great character. Selecting Kamala was.
Speaker 4: The very first decision I made before I became when
Speaker 4: I became our nominee, and it was the best decision
Speaker 4: I made my whole career.
Speaker 3: We've not only got to.
Speaker 4: Know each other, we've become close friends. She's tough, she's experienced,
Speaker 4: and she has enormous integrity, enormous integrity. Her story represents
Speaker 4: the best American story, and like many of our best presidents,
Speaker 4: she was also vice president.
Speaker 1: If we listen to caf AM six forty.
Speaker 4: But she'll be a president our children could look up to.
Speaker 3: She'll be a president.
Speaker 4: Respected by world leaders because she already is.
Speaker 3: She'll be a president we can all be proud of.
Speaker 3: And she will be an.
Speaker 4: Historic president who puts her stamp on America's future because
Speaker 4: will be the first presidential election since January sixth. On
Speaker 4: that day, we almost lost everything about who we are
Speaker 4: as the country. And that threat, this is not high, purblely,
Speaker 4: that threat is still very much alive. Donald Trump says
Speaker 4: he will refuse to accept the election result if he
Speaker 4: loses again. Think about that, he means to think about that.
Speaker 4: He's probably seen a bloodbath.
Speaker 3: If he loses, in his words.
Speaker 4: And that he'll be a dictator on day one in
Speaker 4: his own words. By the way, this sucker means it. No,
Speaker 4: I'm not joking, think about it. Anybody else said that
Speaker 4: in the passage that he was crazy. He is crazy,
Speaker 4: but you'd think it was an exaggeration.
Speaker 3: But he means it. We can't let that happen.
Speaker 4: Folks, all of us carry a special obligation Independence, Republicans, Democrats.
Speaker 4: We save democracy in twenty twenty and now we must
Speaker 4: save it again in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3: You love to be us cast This year will.
Speaker 4: Determine whether democracy and freedom will prevail.
Speaker 3: It's that simple, it's that serious, and the power is
Speaker 3: literally in your hands.
Speaker 4: History is in your hands, not hyproblely, it's in your hands.
Speaker 4: America's future is in your hands.
Speaker 3: And because of this, nowhere else in the world world.
Speaker 4: Could a kid with a stutter and modest beginnings in
Speaker 4: scrand Pennsylvania, Claimont Delaware grow up to sit behind the
Speaker 4: resolute desk in the Oval Office. That that's because America
Speaker 4: is and always has been a nation of possibilities. Possibilities
Speaker 4: you must never lose that never.
Speaker 3: Come. And Tim understand that this nation.
Speaker 4: Must continue to be a place of possibilities, not just
Speaker 4: for the few of us, but for all of us.
Speaker 4: To join me and promising your whole heart to this effort,
Speaker 4: and where my heart will be, I promise I'll be
Speaker 4: the best volunteer Harris and Wallis as.
Speaker 3: Cam I've ever seen. Each of us.
Speaker 4: Has a part in the American story. For me and
Speaker 4: my family, there's a song that means.
Speaker 3: A lot to us.
Speaker 4: It captures the best of who we are as a nation.
Speaker 4: The song is called American Anthem. There's one verse that
Speaker 4: stands out and I can't sing with the damn, so
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna try.
Speaker 3: I'll just quote it. The work in prayers of centuries
Speaker 3: have brought us to this day. What shall our legacy
Speaker 3: or legacy be? We will our children say?
Speaker 4: Let me know in my heart, well my days are
Speaker 4: through America, America.
Speaker 6: I gave my best to you.
Speaker 4: I've made I've made a lot of mistakes in my career,
Speaker 4: but I gave my best to you.
Speaker 3: For fifty years. Like many of you, I've given my.
Speaker 4: Heart and souled or nation, and I've been blessed a
Speaker 4: million times in return to the support of the American people.
Speaker 4: I've really been too young to be in the Senate
Speaker 4: because I wasn't thirty yet and too old to stay
Speaker 4: as president. But I hope you know how grateful I
Speaker 4: am to all of you. I can honestly say, and.
Speaker 3: I mean this in the bottle, give you my word.
Speaker 4: As a Biden I can honestly say I'm more optimistic
Speaker 4: about the future than I was when I was elected
Speaker 4: as a twenty nine year old United States Senator. I
Speaker 4: mean it, folks, we just have to remember who we are.
Speaker 4: We're the United States of America, and there's nothing we
Speaker 4: cannot do when we.
Speaker 3: Do it together.
Speaker 4: God bless you all, and may God protect our troops.
Speaker 1: Camp I am six forty as she's listened to the
Speaker 1: DNC address of President Biden, which is probably probably his
Speaker 1: last public address in a non presidential capacity. This is
Speaker 1: obviously for the benefit of the party, not the country.
Speaker 1: He spoke for about fifty three minutes, if I'm not mistaken,
Speaker 1: which was a lot longer than I think anyone expected
Speaker 1: now this was going to be this last time he
Speaker 1: was going to have that bully pulpit in this way
Speaker 1: where he could say anything he wanted and get everything
Speaker 1: off his chest. And he got a lot off his chest.
Speaker 1: Whether it's enough to launch the candidacy the ticket, that
Speaker 1: remains to be seen. But I thought it was. It
Speaker 1: was full of honesty and sincerity in the sense that
Speaker 1: he was trying to let everyone know that he didn't
Speaker 1: necessarily like being pushed aside, but he understood it was
Speaker 1: for a greater good, as far as what he perceived
Speaker 1: was the best interests of the country. You can decide
Speaker 1: whether that's true or not, but you can tell it
Speaker 1: was mixed emotions for him up there. He obviously felt
Speaker 1: he had more to do. He obviously felt that there
Speaker 1: was more that he could do, but this was no
Speaker 1: longer his time. He talked about being too young to
Speaker 1: originally be a senator when he needed to be thirty.
Speaker 1: He was campaigning at the age of twenty nine, and
Speaker 1: now he was self aware. He said he was too
Speaker 1: old to remain as president. I was sitting watching with
Speaker 1: Wallace Sharp, and he and I have a similar eye
Speaker 1: for certain events. When they're obviously in these convention centers
Speaker 1: or any type of performance venue. The DNC, just like
Speaker 1: the RNC, was supposed to finish because they're both in
Speaker 1: the Central time zone. They were supposed to finish at
Speaker 1: eight pm Pacific time, ten pm Central time. Well, it's
Speaker 1: nine to twenty one, an hour and twenty one minutes over.
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking like, oh, that's a union house. I
Speaker 1: know that they paid goog gobs of money to go
Speaker 1: an hour and a half over. And I say that
Speaker 1: to say Joe Biden was not going to give up
Speaker 1: that microphone tonight. Yeah, for anyone or any reason, goog.
Speaker 7: Gobs of money and I have produced some of the
Speaker 7: biggest shows in Southern California, have had some of the
Speaker 7: biggest acts on stage. And when you are producing that
Speaker 7: show at a union house, and you got to get that,
Speaker 7: you're that guy's stamp on the side of the day
Speaker 7: with a flashlight trying to get the attention of the
Speaker 7: arts or someone to say wrap this up.
Speaker 1: And it's still they're still on the clock because the
Speaker 1: night is not over until they've cleared the hall. Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, it'll be another hour before you get all
Speaker 1: those people out of there. They have the spin room,
Speaker 1: they have the other interviews. I'm quite sure Gary and
Speaker 1: Shannon are probably still talking to people setting up interviews
Speaker 1: for tomorrow. Be sure to tune into them tomorrow from
Speaker 1: nine am to one PMS. They are at the DNC
Speaker 1: all week long. But just to give you some of
Speaker 1: the behind the scenes. When I was at the dncn RNC,
Speaker 1: they ended on time for that reason because you're talking
Speaker 1: about hundreds of thousands of dollars, no exaggeration.
Speaker 7: Easily easily, And I will say it is tough because
Speaker 7: when you have a headliner on stage killing it the
Speaker 7: way that he was for the party, you sometimes you
Speaker 7: gotta let it ride. But I at a certain point
Speaker 7: in time, you know, I'm even talking to Mark, I'm like, oh,
Speaker 7: oh right, getty, Grandpa.
Speaker 1: You're talking about the wobbly moments, moments.
Speaker 7: Look, but but look, I at least respect and can
Speaker 7: can give props due to him getting every single thing
Speaker 7: off his chest that he's been holding on to. He
Speaker 7: held nothing back, left no stone unturned, and let it
Speaker 7: be known exactly how he feels. And I think this
Speaker 7: was that moment for him to do that, because there
Speaker 7: wasn't going to be another opportunity to capture the nation
Speaker 7: and say everything he had to say like this.
Speaker 1: The whole point of any political convention DNC, R and C.
Speaker 1: You're supposed to, at its best unify the party. The
Speaker 1: problem or obstacle confronting the Democrats was was Joe Biden
Speaker 1: going to be willing and was he going to be
Speaker 1: able to bring the party together in the way that
Speaker 1: it needed to be brought together. Because there are a
Speaker 1: lot of people in that convention hall who were pretty
Speaker 1: pissed at the party for what they did to Joe
Speaker 1: Biden in such a very public way, pushing him aside.
Speaker 1: Would he have lost the election? I think he probably
Speaker 1: would have lost the election, But there is still a
Speaker 1: conversation to be had about how Democrats went about pushing
Speaker 1: him aside. I personally thought it was disrespectful. It may
Speaker 1: have saved the election for him, But two things can
Speaker 1: be true. At the same time, it possibly could have
Speaker 1: saved the election for the party, And yes, it was
Speaker 1: utterly disrespectful what they did to Joe Biden as far
Speaker 1: as trying to make the change. But as I was
Speaker 1: saying earlier, the party is always about the party. The
Speaker 1: party does not care about any individual politician. The party
Speaker 1: cares about power, and you think, well, not the Republican Party. Yes,
Speaker 1: the Republican Party too. The Democrats are not worried about
Speaker 1: Joe Biden personally. They're worried about the Oval Office. They're
Speaker 1: worried about the House. They're worried about the Senate. And
Speaker 1: if that seems insensitive, well that's just politics, and that's
Speaker 1: the underside and cd nature of politics, where power is
Speaker 1: the most important thing. And there was a real fear
Speaker 1: and concern that if they continued with Joe Biden at
Speaker 1: the top of the ticket, that not only would the
Speaker 1: Democrats lose the Oval Office, but they would also have
Speaker 1: no chance of regaining control of the House and would
Speaker 1: lose the Senate. Without going into all the math of
Speaker 1: the Senate, it just looked very bleak when we were
Speaker 1: coming out of the RNC and the Republicans had all
Speaker 1: that momentum and all that goodwill coming behind the assassination
Speaker 1: attempt of former President Trump. Everything was moving in their
Speaker 1: direction at least coming out of the RNC. And then
Speaker 1: when the Democrats made the change, at least in a
Speaker 1: perception sense, the Democrats started coming together. Now, going back
Speaker 1: to what I was saying about the whole importance of
Speaker 1: the DNC, and the whole purpose of the DNC or
Speaker 1: any political convention is to unite the party. It is
Speaker 1: not to recruit the other side. There's not a Republican
Speaker 1: or I should say, there's no one who's voting for
Speaker 1: Donald Trump who was watching tonight or listening tonight, who
Speaker 1: was somehow swayed to change their vote. The convention is
Speaker 1: not about that. And at the same time, when former
Speaker 1: President Trump was speaking, it was not an appeal to Democrats.
Speaker 1: It was not even an appeal to moderates and independence.
Speaker 1: The convention is about unifying the base, it's about coalescing
Speaker 1: behind the ticket. And then it's almost like sending a
Speaker 1: high school graduate out into the world. You know, it's
Speaker 1: a it's a pep rally. You're trying to say, rah
Speaker 1: rah ros sis bomba. Send them out with all these
Speaker 1: good feelings. You hopefully get a bump in your polling,
Speaker 1: and you hopefully get a bump in your fundraising. And
Speaker 1: if you get a bump in both, in other words,
Speaker 1: if you can rake in some money and you gain
Speaker 1: two or three percentage point point, then the convention has
Speaker 1: worked as designed. You need both you need money and
Speaker 1: you need the polling, and it's not unusual for a
Speaker 1: ticket to get a bump, a political bump coming out
Speaker 1: of the convention. If you don't, that means the party's
Speaker 1: not unified, and it has failed in that regard.
Speaker 7: With such a strong opening night, I mean, because they
Speaker 7: really brought out a lot of the big guns, most
Speaker 7: all of the big guns opening night. Do you think
Speaker 7: you'll see or we will see the bump as far
Speaker 7: as donations earlier instead of towards the end as it
Speaker 7: was with the R and C. How we saw a
Speaker 7: lot of donations go up towards the end where they
Speaker 7: brought in some of the bigger it's a great question.
Speaker 7: We'll find out tomorrow morning.
Speaker 1: You will find reports tomorrow about whether there's any move
Speaker 1: in the polling numbers, whether there was an influx of
Speaker 1: cash coming off tonight. This is one advantage that the
Speaker 1: Democrats do have, and I don't think anyone can argue this.
Speaker 1: Whenever you have three presidents speaking, that's powerful within the
Speaker 1: party sense. You don't have to like any of them,
Speaker 1: but from in a party sense, that says across generations
Speaker 1: within the party, they are embracing this ticket. Again, the
Speaker 1: whole goal, the whole point is unifying the party. How
Speaker 1: better than having the president two term president from the nineties,
Speaker 1: the two term president from the two thousand and eight
Speaker 1: to sixteen to now Joe Biden one term president. But
Speaker 1: you have three presidents and the grandson of a fourth president.
Speaker 1: That signifies party unity. And to answer your question, we'll
Speaker 1: know tomorrow morning whether there was a bump financially, whether
Speaker 1: there was a bump in a polling sense, and that
Speaker 1: can generate even more momentum going into the subsequent nights.
Speaker 1: Tomorrow night there is former President Barack Obama, former First
Speaker 1: Lady Michelle Obama, and Second Gentleman m Hoff. I don't
Speaker 1: know the order. Most likely Barack Obama will be last.
Speaker 1: For Tuesday Wednesday, they have former President Bill Clinton, a
Speaker 1: former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Transportation Secretary of Pete
Speaker 1: Buddha Judge. Basically, anybody who is anybody within the party
Speaker 1: is speaking at this convention. And if you want to
Speaker 1: compare it and contrast the RNC and I think it's
Speaker 1: a misopportunity. It's just me. I think it's a misopportunity
Speaker 1: when you don't have that same type of embrace like
Speaker 1: the I'll say, I don't want to call it the Oldmission,
Speaker 1: but the absence of former President George W. Bush that matters.
Speaker 1: That matters as far as unifying a party, that matters,
Speaker 1: as far as what signal it sends to the moderates
Speaker 1: within the party. The I would say that the people
Speaker 1: who aren't MAGA, but who are Republicans and they're unsure
Speaker 1: of which way they're going to go. That's why you
Speaker 1: always bring your out your old president. You always do it.
Speaker 1: And you know the Republicans chose not to, that's their choice.
