  • WE SAW PRESIDENT BIDEN JOINED
  • ON STAGE THERE BY VICE
  • PRESIDENT HARRIS AND YOU COULD
  • SEE HER CLEARLY SAYING TO HIM,
  • I LOVE YOU, JOE.
  • IT WAS A REMARKABLE SPEECH.
  • THE PRESIDENT CAME ON STAGE
  • WITHOUT A DRY EYE IN THE HOUSE
  • INCLUDING HIS OWN AND HIS
  • DAUGHTER ASHLEY INTRODUCING
  • HIM.
  • AND THEN JUST A SUSTAINED
  • EXTENDED OVATION.
  • >> IT LEFT ME THINKING ABOUT
  • 0:38
  • THE LINEAGE OF WHAT IS NOW THE
  • 0:40
  • 21st CENTURY DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
  • 0:42
  • WHAT WE SAW TONIGHT BEGAN WITH
  • 0:45
  • A DECISION MADE BY JOHN KERRY
  • 0:50
  • TO CHOOSE BARACK OBAMA AS THE
  • 0:52
  • KEYNOTE SPEAKER IN 2004 AND
  • 0:54
  • WHAT TURNS OUT TO BE A LOSING
  • 0:57
  • PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN PRODUCES
  • 1:02
  • THE NEXT DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE,
  • 1:03
  • BARACK OBAMA.
  • 1:03
  • THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME MOST OF
  • 1:07
  • US SAW BARACK OBAMA SPEAK.
  • 1:08
  • HE WASN'T YET THE UNITED STATES
  • 1:11
  • SENATOR AS YOU MENTIONED AND HE
  • 1:12
  • WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
  • 1:13
  • CAMPAIGN.
  • 1:13
  • I REMEMBER SAYING ON TV, I
  • 1:14
  • REMEMBER SAYING WE JUST SAW THE
  • 1:15
  • FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT.
  • 1:19
  • AND THEN BARACK OBAMA CHOOSES
  • 1:20
  • JOE BIDEN AND CHOOSES JOE BIDEN
  • 1:25
  • BECAUSE JOE BIDEN RAN AGAINST
  • 1:26
  • HIM AND IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR
  • 1:28
  • HIM TO SEE JOE BIDEN AT THE
  • 1:30
  • PRESIDENTIAL LEVEL OF
  • 1:31
  • COMPETITION IN THE PRIMARIES TO
  • 1:31
  • SAY THIS IS WHO I WANT IN
  • 1:32
  • ADDITION TO HIS EXPERIENCE WITH
  • 1:37
  • JOE BIDEN IN THE SENATE AND
  • 1:38
  • THEN JOE BIDEN THEN COMES ALONG
  • 1:39
  • AND GET THE NOMINATION ON A
  • 1:41
  • STAGGERED BASIS IN THE
  • 1:43
  • ELECTORAL CALENDAR.
  • 1:44
  • HE CHOOSES KAMALA HARRIS.
  • 1:47
  • THIS ALL BEGINS WITH THAT JOHN
  • 1:48
  • KERRY CHOICE.
  • 1:49
  • I INTERVIEWED PRESIDENT BIDEN
  • 1:52
  • IN MARCH OF THE CAMPAIGN LAST
  • 1:57
  • TIME WHEN IT WAS LOCKED UP.
  • 1:58
  • MY QUESTION IS WHO WILL HE PICK
  • 1:59
  • FOR VICE PRESIDENT.
  • 2:00
  • THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS WE
  • 2:02
  • TALKED ABOUT.
  • 2:02
  • WHAT I ASKED HIM WAS, STRONGLY
  • 2:05
  • SUSPECTING IT WAS KAMALA
  • 2:09
  • HARRIS, IS IT IMPORTANT TO YOU
  • 2:10
  • THAT YOUR VICE PRESIDENTIAL
  • 2:11
  • NOMINEE HAS EXPERIENCE IN
  • 2:14
  • PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNING.
  • 2:15
  • AND HE SAID YES, THAT IS A
  • 2:19
  • FACTOR AND IT WAS A FACTOR FOR
  • 2:21
  • BARACK OBAMA.
  • 2:21
  • SO KAMALA HARRIS KNOWS THAT SHE
  • 2:24
  • WOULD BE THE SENIOR SENATOR
  • 2:25
  • FROM NEW YORK TONIGHT OUT THERE
  • 2:27
  • CLAPPING FOR SOMEBODY ELSE.
  • 2:30
  • WERE IT NOT FOR THAT DECISION
  • 2:31
  • THAT JOE BIDEN MADE THAT WAS
  • 2:33
  • MADE IN THE HEAT AND PROVING
  • 2:36
  • GROUNDS OF THE PRESIDENTIAL
  • 2:41
  • CAMPAIGN, BUT WHAT YOU SEE IN
  • 2:42
  • THIS DISCUSSION WE HAD EARLIER
  • 2:47
  • ABOUT THE TALENT WE SEE ON THIS
  • 2:48
  • STAGE AND ALL OF THESE PEOPLE
  • 2:49
  • WE SAW ON THE STAGE, WE NEVER
  • 2:57
  • SAW ANYONE TAKE A CONVENTION
  • 2:58
  • STAGE INCLUDING TONIGHT AND WE
  • 2:58
  • NEVER SAW ANYONE TAKE A
  • 2:59
  • CONVENTION STAGE THE WAY BARACK
  • 3:00
  • OBAMA DID IN BOSTON IN 2004.
  • 3:03
  • AND SO THE TALENT WE HAVE SEEN
  • 3:04
  • AND WILL SEE THIS WEEK TONIGHT,
  • 3:05
  • YOU HAVE TO ASK YOURSELF, WHO
  • 3:06
  • IS THE OBAMA?
  • 3:09
  • WHO IS IT THAT WE WILL SEE?
  • 3:10
  • YOU CAN BE SURE OF IS THAT YOU
  • 3:11
  • WILL SEE THESE PEOPLE AND THE
  • 3:16
  • DECISIONS MADE JUST IN TERMS OF
  • 3:17
  • WHO SPEAKS THAT THESE THINGS
  • 3:22
  • DEFINES OUR POLITICS IN WAYS
  • 3:22
  • THAT ARE COMPLETELY SURPRISING
  • 3:28
  • AND UNPREDICTABLE.
  • 3:29
  • BUT IF YOU JUST START WITH JOHN
  • 3:30
  • KERRY'S DECISION ON BARACK
  • 3:35
  • OBAMA BEING THE KEYNOTE SPEAKER
  • 3:36
  • TO WHERE WE ARE TONIGHT, YOU
  • 3:37
  • SEE THIS HANDOFF THAT JOHN KERRY
  • 3:44
  • GAVE TO BARACK OBAMA AND BARACK
  • 3:45
  • OBAMA TO JOE BIDEN AND JOE
  • 3:46
  • BIDEN TO KAMALA HARRIS.
  • 3:47
  • YOU
  • 3:47
  • >> YOU NEVER KNOW.
  • 3:53
  • >> THE ENORMITY OF THESE
  • 3:53
  • DECISIONS OF WHO YOU ARE
  • 3:55
  • CHOOSING AS VICE PRESIDENT AND
  • 3:56
  • WE HAVE JUST SEEN IT BECOME SO
  • 3:58
  • ENORMOUS IN THE BIGGEST
  • 4:02
  • POSSIBLE WAY IN THE CHOICE
  • 4:02
  • BARACK OBAMA MADE IN THE CHOICE
  • 4:06
  • JOE BIDEN MADE.
  • 4:06
  • >> WE SOUGHT IN THE WAY THAT
  • 4:07
  • JOE BIDEN CREDITED VICE
  • 4:09
  • PRESIDENT HARRIS WITH SOME
  • 4:09
  • ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THEIR TIME
  • 4:12
  • GOVERNING, TALKING ABOUT HER
  • 4:15
  • ROLE IN THE HOSTAGE NEGOTIATIONS
  • 4:22
  • AND IT IS IMPORTANT STUFF THAT
  • 4:23
  • THEY HAVE SHARED IN GOVERNING.
  • 4:24
  • >> HE SAID IN A TONGUE AND
  • 4:25
  • CHEEK WAY THAT SOME OF THE
  • 4:26
  • PRESIDENTS STARTED AS A VICE
  • 4:26
  • PRESIDENT AND IT SPEAKS ABOUT
  • 4:28
  • THEIR LEGACY.
  • 4:28
  • MEMBER THAT JOE BIDEN WAS A
  • 4:34
  • PRESIDENT COMING OUT OF THE
  • 4:35
  • FINANCIAL CRISIS AND KNOWS HE
  • 4:36
  • HAD TO TAKE ACTION TO SOLVE BIG
  • 4:42
  • PROBLEMS AND HE DID THAT WHEN
  • 4:43
  • HE BECAME PRESIDENT COMING OUT
  • 4:44
  • OF COVID AND HE HAS PASSING THE
  • 4:45
  • TORCH BUT TO ALL THE SPEAKERS
  • 4:45
  • WE SAW AND AOC AND HERE IS THE
  • 4:51
  • NEXT GENERATION OF DEMOCRATIC
  • 4:52
  • LEADERSHIP AND IT WAS
  • 4:54
  • INVIGORATING.
  • 4:54
  • >> WATCHING THAT, THERE IS A
  • 4:57
  • LOT HE ACCOMPLISHED AND HE WENT
  • 4:58
  • TO A LOT OF THAT AND WE WILL
  • 4:59
  • HEAR MORE IN THE NEXT FEW
  • 5:00
  • MONTHS.
  • 5:00
  • BUT WHAT STRUCK ME IS WHEN HE
  • 5:07
  • TALKED ABOUT HOW CHARACTER IS
  • 5:07
  • DESTINY AND PROGRESS IS
  • 5:08
  • POSSIBLE.
  • 5:09
  • WHEN PEOPLE REMEMBER HIM, THEY
  • 5:09
  • WILL REMEMBER THAT THE
  • 5:12
  • PRESIDENT DID THIS AND THAT BUT
  • 5:14
  • THEY WILL REMEMBER HIS
  • 5:21
  • CHARACTER AND WHO HE IS AS A
  • 5:22
  • HUMAN BEING AND I THINK YOU SAW
  • 5:23
  • THIS IN THE SPEECH HOW WE
  • 5:24
  • TALKED ABOUT KAMALA HARRIS, HOW
  • 5:25
  • WE ENDED THE SPEECH AND HOW HIS
  • 5:26
  • FAMILY EMBRACED HIM.
  • 5:27
  • THAT IS WHAT REALLY STRUCK ME
  • 5:28
  • WATCHING THAT AND JUST BEING A
  • 5:32
  • DEEPLY GOOD HUMAN AND HOW
  • 5:33
  • CONNECTED HE WAS.
  • 5:35
  • I THOUGHT HOW HARD IT MUST HAVE
  • 5:36
  • BEEN FOR HIM TO DO THAT AND HOW
  • 5:38
  • HARD WAS FOR DOCTOR BIDEN TO DO
  • 5:40
  • AND FOR ASHLEY BIDEN TO DO.
  • 5:42
  • YOU THINK ABOUT IT SOMEBODY
  • 5:49
  • WRONGS SOMEBODY YOU DEEPLY
  • 5:51
  • LOVED AND YOU HAVE TO GO OUT IN
  • 5:52
  • THE COUNTRY AND SAY, IT IS
  • 5:54
  • OKAY.
  • 5:54
  • WE ARE OKAY.
  • 5:58
  • IT IS FOR THE BEST AND WE ARE
  • 5:59
  • STANDING UP FOR DEMOCRACY AND
  • 6:01
  • JUST THE CHALLENGE OF THAT
  • 6:02
  • REALLY SPEAKS TO THEIR
  • 6:05
  • CHARACTER.
  • 6:05
  • >> A SACRIFICE AT LARGE FOR THE
  • 6:07
  • FAMILY.
  • 6:07
  • >> IT SOME WAYS INCREDIBLE
  • 6:11
  • PATHOS THROUGH THE WHOLE THING
  • 6:12
  • AND WE SAW SACRIFICE AND A MAN
  • 6:15
  • WITH A TITANIC EGO, JOE BIDEN
  • 6:18
  • PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
  • 6:19
  • AND HE RAN FOR SENATE AND WAS
  • 6:21
  • ELECTED AND SPENT 50 YEARS IN
  • 6:22
  • PUBLIC LIFE.
  • 6:22
  • THIS IS SOMEBODY WHO OCCUPIES A
  • 6:26
  • ROOM AND LIKES THE ATTENTION ON
  • 6:27
  • HIMSELF LIKE ALL OF THESE
  • 6:30
  • THINGS AND THEN PAIRED WITH A
  • 6:31
  • DEEP SENSE OF SERVICE AND
  • 6:32
  • FUNDAMENTALLY CONTRASTED WITH A
  • 6:34
  • PERSON WHO LIVES THEIR ENTIRE
  • 6:37
  • LIFE AVOIDING EGO DEATH IN
  • 6:42
  • DONALD TRUMP EVEN IF THAT MEANS
  • 6:43
  • BRINGING DOWN THE
  • 6:45
  • CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC AND
  • 6:46
  • HERE YOU HAVE SOMEBODY WHOSE
  • 6:46
  • LAST MAJOR POLITICAL ACT IS THE
  • 6:50
  • FACT OF GETTING UP THERE
  • 6:50
  • DISABLED FOR HER AND THANK YOU,
  • 6:55
  • KAMALA.
  • 6:55
  • LBJ AS YOU SAID WAS SALTY AS
  • 7:01
  • ALL HELL AND WANTED NIXON TO
  • 7:03
  • WIN . AND WHAT YOU DID TONIGHT
  • 7:11
  • WAS SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T
  • 7:12
  • HAPPEN IN POLITICS.
  • 7:12
  • IT IS AN INCREDIBLE THING TO
  • 7:13
  • WATCH IT HAPPEN IN REAL TIME
  • 7:16
  • AND TO KNOW HE IS HITTING THE
  • 7:17
  • MARKS AND DOING ALL OF THIS IN
  • 7:18
  • SERVICE OF SOMETHING HIGHER
  • 7:19
  • THAN HIMSELF IN SERVICE OF THE
  • 7:20
  • COUNTRY AND DEMOCRATIC PARTY,
  • 7:26
  • AND THAT IS WALKING THE WALK
  • 7:27
  • LIKE I HAVE RARELY SEEN IN MY
  • 7:28
  • LIFE COVERING POLITICS.
  • 7:29
  • >> LET ME PUT A QUICK NOTE ON
  • 7:33
  • PRESIDENTIAL EGO AND
  • 7:33
  • PERSPECTIVE AND HAVING WORKED
  • 7:34
  • WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN IN THE
  • 7:35
  • SENATE, I WOULD HAVE RANKED HIS
  • 7:38
  • EGO IN THE HUNDRED AROUND 50 OF
  • 7:44
  • WHO I WORKED WITH AND HE IS
  • 7:45
  • BELOW AVERAGE AND ACTUAL FACT
  • 7:47
  • AND IN THE WORKING DAY AND IN
  • 7:53
  • THE WAY EGO INTRUDES ON THE
  • 7:54
  • WORKING DAY, WHICH IS VERY
  • 7:55
  • IMPORTANT TO SAY HOW DID IT
  • 7:56
  • WORK WHEN THE DOORS CLOSED AND
  • 8:00
  • IT IS 12 PEOPLE OR SIX PEOPLE
  • 8:01
  • ARE MORE TRYING TO DO SOMETHING
  • 8:02
  • IMPORTANT.
  • 8:02
  • HE WAS NEVER THE PROBLEMATIC
  • 8:03
  • EGO IN THE ROOM AND THERE WERE
  • 8:08
  • PROBLEMATIC EGOS IN THE ROOM.
  • 8:14
  • >> IT IS DEFINITELY SENATORS,
  • 8:16
  • CABLE NEWS HOSTS, PRESIDENTS,
  • 8:17
  • AND WE ARE ALL IN THERE AND
  • 8:17
  • NONE OF IT IS GOOD BUT THE
  • 8:19
  • SACRIFICE GIVEN THE EGO PRICE
  • 8:22
  • OF ADMISSION.
  • 8:23
  • >> LET'S GO TO CHICAGO TO OUR
  • 8:25
  • FRIENDS WATCHING IN THE ROOM.
  • 8:29
  • >> THE EGO HAS LANDED HERE IN
  • 8:31
  • CHICAGO AND WEARING A GREEN
  • 8:37
  • SHIRT.
  • 8:39
  • AND I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE
  • 8:40
  • ROAR OF MY VOICE AND MY OWN
  • 8:42
  • EARS.
  • 8:47
  • SORRY.
  • 8:48
  • >> I HAVE TO SAY THAT THE NOISE
  • 8:50
  • WHEN PRESIDENT BIDEN TOOK THIS
  • 8:53
  • TO HACHE, THE LOVE IN THE ROOM,
  • 8:54
  • THE ENTHUSIASM AND THE
  • 8:59
  • WISTFULNESS AND THE CROWD
  • 9:00
  • WANTING TO DEMONSTRATE TO THIS
  • 9:03
  • MAN THAT HE IS BELOVED WAS NOT
  • 9:06
  • LIKE ANYTHING I HAVE EVER SEEN
  • 9:08
  • IN AMERICAN POLITICS. TO THE
  • 9:15
  • RAFTERS, WE LOVE YOU, JOE.
  • 9:16
  • IT WAS DEAFENING.
  • 9:17
  • >> YOU COULD FEEL IT.
  • 9:17
  • IT ALMOST LIFTED PRESIDENT
  • 9:20
  • BIDEN SORT OF OFF OF THE STAGE.
  • 9:23
  • I DON'T HAVE A COMMENT ABOUT
  • 9:24
  • THE SPEECH BUT I WANT TO TALK
  • 9:33
  • ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE AND
  • 9:33
  • AFTER THE SPEECH.
  • 9:34
  • IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS SO
  • 9:35
  • DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE SAW AT
  • 9:36
  • THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL
  • 9:36
  • CONVENTION AND STARTED WITH
  • 9:37
  • ASHLEY BIDEN BRINGING JOE BIDEN
  • 9:38
  • TO TEARS.
  • 9:38
  • THAT EMBRACE BETWEEN THE TWO OF
  • 9:39
  • THEM WHEN HE LOOKED AT HER AND
  • 9:42
  • DABBED HIS EYES SO PEOPLE WERE
  • 9:46
  • ALREADY SET UP FOR CRYING.
  • 9:47
  • AND THEN HE GIVES THIS SPEECH.
  • 9:52
  • AND THEN AFTERWARDS WHEN YOU
  • 9:52
  • SAW THE RAW AFFECTION THAT
  • 9:53
  • FAMILY HAS REACH OTHER, THE WAY
  • 9:55
  • THEY GENUINELY LOVE EACH OTHER
  • 10:01
  • AND THE WAY HIS VICE PRESIDENT,
  • 10:02
  • KAMALA HARRIS, WHO HE DEVOTED
  • 10:03
  • SOME OF HIS SPEECH TO.
  • 10:09
  • THIS WAS HIS NIGHT AND IT WAS
  • 10:10
  • HIS MOMENT AND THIS NIGHT WAS
  • 10:10
  • DEDICATED TO JOE BIDEN AND
  • 10:11
  • PARTS OF THIS NIGHT INCLUDING A
  • 10:13
  • BIOGRAPHICAL VIDEO WERE GIVEN
  • 10:13
  • TO KAMALA HARRIS.
  • 10:14
  • THIS IS NOT THE WAY THE HILLARY
  • 10:15
  • CONVENTION WENT WHERE HE AND
  • 10:18
  • BERNIE SANDERS WRESTLED OVER
  • 10:19
  • THE NOMINATION UNTIL THE END
  • 10:21
  • AND NOT THE WAY THE 88
  • 10:22
  • CONVENTION WENT WHEN JESSE
  • 10:28
  • JACKSON CHALLENGED DUKAKIS AND
  • 10:28
  • IT WAS BITTER AND HAD TO MAKE
  • 10:33
  • DEALS THE WAY THE PARTY PICKED
  • 10:34
  • OUT ITS DELEGATES IN ORDER TO
  • 10:35
  • APPEASE BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T
  • 10:36
  • WANT HIM ON THE BALLOT OR
  • 10:37
  • TICKET.
  • 10:37
  • >> OR CARTER KENNEDY IN 80.
  • 10:43
  • I DON'T THINK AS A NERDY KID
  • 10:44
  • WHO HAS WATCHED CONVENTIONS SAID
  • 10:54
  • JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL, I DON'T
  • 10:55
  • THINK YOU HAVE EVER SEEN A MORE
  • 10:56
  • SEAMLESS, AFFECTIONATE HANDOFF
  • 10:57
  • OF POWER FROM ONE PERSON TO
  • 10:59
  • ANOTHER, BOTH OF WHOM HAVE THE
  • 11:01
  • ASPIRATION TO BE PRESIDENT, AND
  • 11:02
  • BOTH OF WHOM BELIEVE THEY CAN
  • 11:02
  • OCCUPY THAT SEAT AND SHARE
  • 11:03
  • POWER IN A GREAT WAY.
  • 11:04
  • THE AFFECTION WAS PALPABLE.
  • 11:04
  • >> THE NIGHT -- CAN I SAY ONE
  • 11:13
  • THING.
  • 11:16
  • I WANT TO SAY THAT SO MUCH HAS
  • 11:17
  • BEEN SAID AND RIGHTLY SO ABOUT
  • 11:18
  • THE FACT THAT LIBERAL DEMOCRACY
  • 11:20
  • IS UNDER THREAT.
  • 11:21
  • IT ISN'T JUST DEMOCRACY BEING
  • 11:29
  • AT STAKE BUT THE WAY IN WHICH
  • 11:30
  • THE POWER HAS BEEN TRANSFERRED,
  • 11:31
  • A PERSON SAYING IT IS BETTER IF
  • 11:35
  • WE ARE NOT JUST A PARTY BUT FOR
  • 11:36
  • THE COUNTRY AND HE BELIEVES FOR
  • 11:37
  • HIM TO STEP OFF THE TICKET.
  • 11:38
  • IT GIVES YOU FAITH THAT THE
  • 11:41
  • AMERICAN EXPERIMENT MAY NOT BE
  • 11:42
  • OVER.
  • 11:42
  • >> PEACEFUL TRANSFER OF POWER
  • 11:44
  • WITHIN THE PARTY.
  • 11:46
  • THERE COULD HAVE LITERALLY BEEN
  • 11:47
  • A CONVENTION FIGHT IN THIS VERY
  • 11:51
  • SPACE.
  • 11:51
  • INSTEAD, IT WAS THE ABSOLUTE
  • 11:56
  • OPPOSITE.
  • 11:57
  • >> THAT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING
  • 11:59
  • PRETTY REMARKABLE.
  • 11:59
  • >> THANK YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT
  • 12:03
  • THAT MOMENT WHEN HE WALKED OUT
  • 12:04
  • THERE AND WE SAW HIS DAUGHTER
  • 12:05
  • ASHLEY AND HIS WIFE GIVE THE
  • 12:10
  • REMARKS AND HIS DAUGHTER GIVE
  • 12:11
  • THE REMARKS AND BY THE TIME
  • 12:15
  • PRESIDENT BIDEN CAME OUT, THERE
  • 12:16
  • WASN'T A DRY EYE IN THE HOUSE
  • 12:17
  • INCLUDING HIS OWN VICE
  • 12:18
  • PRESIDENT WHO WAS WELLED UP AND
  • 12:20
  • TIM WALZ WAS WELLED UP AND THAT
  • 12:25
  • SUSTAINED EMOTIONAL UNENDING
  • 12:28
  • OVATION THAT SAID, AT FIRST, WE
  • 12:36
  • LOVE JOE, WE LOVE JOE, AND THEN
  • 12:39
  • IT TRANSITIONED INTO THANK YOU,
  • 12:40
  • JOE.
  • 12:40
  • IT TOOK THE ROOF OFF TO YET
  • 12:43
  • ANOTHER LEVEL AND HE COULDN'T
  • 12:44
  • GET ANYBODY TO STOP SAYING IT.
  • 12:46
  • I KNOW THAT IN MY 51 YEARS OF
  • 12:48
  • AMERICAN LIFE, I DON'T KNOW OF
  • 12:53
  • ANOTHER BIG CIVIC EARNEST
  • 12:56
  • HEARTFELT EMOTIONAL EXPRESSION
  • 13:00
  • OF THANKS THAT WE CONGRATULATE
  • 13:01
  • ONE ANOTHER AND WE HAVE PARADES
  • 13:03
  • FOR HEROES AND CELEBRATE
  • 13:06
  • PEOPLE'S VICTORIES.
  • 13:07
  • BUT IN CELEBRATION OF THANKS.
  • 13:14
  • WE APPRECIATE AND LOVE YOU FOR
  • 13:15
  • YOUR CIVIC VIRTUE AND FOR WHAT
  • 13:16
  • YOU HAVE DONE FOR OUR COUNTRY.
  • 13:17
  • SINCE WE HAVE HAD PARADES
  • 13:21
  • WELCOMING HOME PEOPLE WHO HAVE
  • 13:21
  • FOUGHT IN THE WAR, AND IT HAS
  • 13:27
  • BEEN A GENERATION SINCE WE HAVE
  • 13:27
  • DONE THAT, I DON'T KNOW
  • 13:28
  • ANYTHING ELSE LIKE THAT.
  • 13:29
  • >> I CLOCKED IT AT THREE
  • 13:31
  • MINUTES 58 SECONDS AND I DO
  • 13:33
  • HAVE IT ON MY PHONE.
  • 13:36
  • NUMBERS ARE THERE.
  • 13:36
  • IT WAS EXTREMELY LENGTHY.
  • 13:39
  • PRESIDENT BIDEN TRIED TO LIVE
  • 13:40
  • IN IT.
  • 13:41
  • WHEN HILLARY CLINTON WAS
  • 13:45
  • GETTING THE SAME OVATION, SHE
  • 13:46
  • WAS TRYING TO MAKE IT STOP.
  • 13:47
  • SHE ALSO GOT THE SAME KIND OF
  • 13:49
  • LOVE TONIGHT.
  • 13:49
  • JESSE JACKSON GOT A SUSTAINED
  • 13:56
  • APPRECIATIVE CROWD AND THESE
  • 13:59
  • ARE HEROES OF DEMOCRACY AND NOT
  • 14:08
  • JUST OF THE PARTY.
  • 14:08
  • IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE A PARTISAN
  • 14:09
  • CELEBRATION BUT A CELEBRATION
  • 14:10
  • OF THE COUNTRY.
  • 14:10
  • THERE WAS A LOT OF USA CHAMPS
  • 14:14
  • -- CHANTING GOING ON.
  • 14:14
  • WHAT YOU SAID, RACHEL.
  • 14:15
  • THE SPECIFIC SERVICE AND THEY
  • 14:18
  • ARE SHEPHERDING THE DEMOCRACY
  • 14:19
  • FORWARD AND I THINK IT IS A
  • 14:22
  • POWERFUL THING AND BIDEN SAID
  • 14:22
  • HE WAS GRATEFUL TO THE AUDIENCE
  • 14:23
  • BUT REALLY IT WAS SUCH A
  • 14:30
  • PALPABLE MOMENT OF PUBLIC
  • 14:31
  • GRATITUDE FOR SOMEBODY WHO
  • 14:32
  • SPENDS HIS LIFE IN POLITICS.
  • 14:33
  • IT WAS EXTRAORDINARY.
  • 14:33
  • >> HAVING BEEN THERE IN THE
  • 14:37
  • ROOM AND WE ARE ALL WATCHING
  • 14:38
  • FROM HERE AND IT HAS BEEN AN
  • 14:39
  • EMOTIONAL NIGHT ALTOGETHER AT
  • 14:41
  • DIFFERENT TIMES.
  • 14:41
  • THE YOUNG CONGRESSWOMAN FROM
  • 14:43
  • TEXAS, JASMINE CROCKETT, WHO IS
  • 14:46
  • SO POISED AND SO FUNNY AND SO
  • 14:50
  • EDGY AND SHE SAID IN HER SPEECH
  • 14:52
  • TONIGHT THAT SHE HAS GONE VIRAL
  • 14:54
  • VERY MANY TIMES FOR HER ACTIONS
  • 14:56
  • INCLUDING IN COMMITTEE.
  • 14:59
  • BUT THERE WAS ACTUALLY A
  • 15:01
  • POIGNANT MOMENT WHERE I THINK
  • 15:02
  • IT WAS MADE ALL THE MORE
  • 15:05
  • POIGNANT BY HER POISE AND HOW
  • 15:06
  • IN CONTROL AND CLEVER SHE IS
  • 15:11
  • AND SHE TALKED ABOUT HER FIRST
  • 15:12
  • MEETING WITH VICE PRESIDENT
  • 15:14
  • HARRIS AND THE EMBASSY AND THE
  • 15:18
  • KINDNESS THAT THE VICE
  • 15:18
  • PRESIDENT SHOWED TO HER.
  • 15:19
  • WE SAW THREE WOMEN FROM
  • 15:20
  • LOUISIANA AND TEXAS, THREE
  • 15:23
  • DIFFERENT WOMEN TELL THEIR
  • 15:23
  • PERSONAL STORIES ABOUT
  • 15:30
  • INCREDIBLE TRIAL AND PAIN AND
  • 15:31
  • LOSS BECAUSE OF THE TRUMP
  • 15:33
  • ABORTION BAN.
  • 15:34
  • AND THEN WE SAW THIS LEAD UP
  • 15:37
  • INTO PRESIDENT BIDEN IN WHICH
  • 15:38
  • THE WATERWORKS TURNED ON
  • 15:44
  • EVERYWHERE.
  • 15:44
  • THAT IS HOW IT FELT FROM HERE
  • 15:45
  • AND WHEN YOU ARE WATCHING THE
  • 15:46
  • BACK HALF OF THE PROGRAM
  • 15:49
  • TONIGHT TO SEE HOW THINGS
  • 15:49
  • RESONATED IN THE ROOM, WHAT
  • 15:50
  • STOOD OUT TO YOU GUYS?
  • 15:51
  • >> WE BOTH GOOGLED THE WHOLE
  • 15:56
  • STORY, A HORRIFIC STORY THAT
  • 15:58
  • HADLEY DO FALL -- DUVALL.
  • 16:14
  • A WOMAN ORDERED TO GIVE BIRTH
  • 16:15
  • TO HER OWN STEP FATHERS CHILD
  • 16:17
  • AND I THINK WE WERE JUST AMAZED
  • 16:21
  • AT HOW POISED AND CONTROLLED
  • 16:22
  • SHE WAS.
  • 16:22
  • SHE DID IT.
  • 16:24
  • THERE WAS A HUSH IN THE ROOM
  • 16:26
  • AND A SENSE OF AWE OF HER IN
  • 16:30
  • THE ROOM AND IT BROUGHT THAT
  • 16:32
  • ISSUE OF FORCED BIRTH HOME.
  • 16:35
  • >> I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS
  • 16:36
  • THAT STRUCK ME, RACHEL WAS THE
  • 16:39
  • REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION
  • 16:40
  • WAS HOMOGENOUS AND THE VIBRANCY
  • 16:45
  • OF THIS CONVENTION BOTH IN
  • 16:45
  • TERMS OF GENERATION, RACE, IT
  • 16:56
  • FEELS LIKE THE SPEAKERS ARE
  • 16:56
  • BOTH HOLDING UP A MERE TO THE
  • 16:57
  • AUDIENCE AND THE AUDIENCE IS
  • 16:58
  • HOLDING UP A MERE TO THE
  • 16:59
  • SPEAKERS AND AS YOU POINTED OUT
  • 17:00
  • THERE IS DIVERSITY OF
  • 17:01
  • EXPERIENCE BUT THE AUDIENCE
  • 17:01
  • ITSELF AS WELL SO PEOPLE REALLY
  • 17:02
  • FEEL THEIR STRUGGLES ARE BEING
  • 17:03
  • REFLECTED BY THE PARTY AT LARGE
  • 17:04
  • AND PEOPLE WHO ARE ARTICULATING
  • 17:06
  • THE PARTY PLATFORM AS THE
  • 17:09
  • SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
  • 17:14
  • THE PARTY AND THE PARTY ELDERS
  • 17:15
  • THAT MAKES FOR A REAL
  • 17:16
  • SYNCHRONICITY ESPECIALLY WHEN
  • 17:17
  • THE STORIES ARE EMOTIONAL AND
  • 17:23
  • WOMEN SEE THEMSELVES IN THE
  • 17:24
  • STORIES.
  • 17:24
  • MEN SEE THEMSELVES IN THESE
  • 17:26
  • STORIES.
  • 17:26
  • THE YOUNG AND OLD.
  • 17:27
  • IT IS A POWERFUL RELATIONSHIP
  • 17:28
  • BETWEEN THE PEOPLE ON STAGE AND
  • 17:30
  • THE PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE AND
  • 17:32
  • JUST FOR THE RECORD, I THINK
  • 17:34
  • TIM WALZ IS CRYING ALL NIGHT AND
  • 17:41
  • EVERY TIME I LOOK OVER HE IS
  • 17:43
  • AND IT MAKES SENSE BECAUSE IT
  • 17:44
  • IS OVERWHELMING FOR ALL OF US
  • 17:45
  • AND I IMAGINE IT IS FOR HIM.
  • 17:46
  • >> THE THING REFRESHING IS NOT
  • 17:47
  • ONE NEGATIVE SIGN AND NO SIGN
  • 17:52
  • THAT THIS WAS KIND OF
  • 17:52
  • REFRESHING AND IT WAS ALL WE
  • 17:54
  • LOVE JOE AND IT WAS A LOVE FEST
  • 17:56
  • HERE.
  • 17:56
  • >> IT WAS ALL OF THAT.
  • 18:05
  • >> THERE WAS A LOCK HIM UP
  • 18:08
  • MOMENT DURING HILLARY CLINTON'S
  • 18:15
  • SPEECH.
  • 18:15
  • AND SHE DIDN'T PARTICIPATE BUT
  • 18:17
  • SHE KINDLY LOOKED OVER AND DID
  • 18:22
  • THAT.
  • 18:23
  • >> WE TALKED ABOUT HADLEY
  • 18:28
  • DUVALL IN ONE OF HER LAST LINES
  • 18:29
  • SHE SAID , WHAT IS BEAUTIFUL
  • 18:31
  • ABOUT A CHILD BEING TOLD YOU
  • 18:35
  • HAVE TO CARRY HER PARENTS
  • 18:37
  • CHILD?
  • 18:37
  • IT WAS A STUNNING STATEMENT.
  • 18:40
  • HER BRAVERY.
  • 18:43
  • PEOPLE FORGET SHE THEN
  • 18:46
  • INTRODUCED GOVERNOR BESHEAR AND
  • 18:49
  • IT WAS AN ADVERTISEMENT SHE WAS
  • 18:50
  • IN WHERE ANDY BASHIR WON THAT
  • 18:54
  • RACE WHERE HE BEAT THE MITCH
  • 19:01
  • McCONNELL ENDORSED OPPONENT AND
  • 19:02
  • BEAT HIM BY FIVE PERCENTAGE
  • 19:03
  • POINTS SO EXTRAORDINARY TO SEE
  • 19:03
  • THIS WOMAN SHARE HER STORY AND
  • 19:05
  • ALLISON'S POINT IT AFFECTS MEN
  • 19:05
  • AND WHEN YOU HEAR SOMETHING
  • 19:11
  • LIKE THAT, IT AFFECTS ALL
  • 19:13
  • PEOPLE.
  • 19:14
  • >> TO SEE THAT WOMAN TALKING
  • 19:14
  • ABOUT WHAT SHE WENT THROUGH AS
  • 19:16
  • A 12-YEAR-OLD CHILD AND TO SEE
  • 19:16
  • HER INTRODUCE ANDY BASHIR WHO
  • 19:17
  • TALKS ABOUT HIS FAITH IN SEE
  • 19:19
  • RAPHAEL WARNOCK TALK ABOUT HIS
  • 19:20
  • CHURCH AND THEN RIP THE BARK
  • 19:27
  • OFF IN TERMS OF HIS SPEECH AND
  • 19:28
  • TO SEE JAMIE RASKIN ON THE
  • 19:29
  • CONSTITUTIONAL A FRONT THAT IS
  • 19:32
  • TRUMP SPECIFICALLY ON JANUARY 6
  • 19:33
  • 1/2 JASMINE CROCKETT AND AOC
  • 19:36
  • AND ASHLEY BIDEN THIS WAS -- IT
  • 19:41
  • DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THE WAY I
  • 19:46
  • THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO FEEL.
  • 19:47
  • I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A
  • 19:50
  • CRESCENDO TO THE BIDEN SPEECH
  • 19:51
  • BUT IT WAS A VERY EMOTIONAL AND
  • 19:52
  • VERY EFFECTIVE AND AFFECTING
  • 19:55
  • PRESENTATION FOR HOURS.
  • 19:58
  • >> AND NECESSARY.
  • 20:01
  • THERE ARE ALREADY PEOPLE
  • 20:02
  • COMPLAINING THAT JOE BIDEN WAS
  • 20:11
  • ON TOO LATE.
  • 20:15
  • >> EXCUSE ME, 11:00 P.M.
  • 20:20
  • IS AN EXTRAORDINARY TIME TO BE
  • 20:22
  • ON.
  • 20:22
  • >> IT WASN'T JUST ANY PROGRAM.
  • 20:25
  • THE PEOPLE WHO WERE SPEAKING
  • 20:26
  • HAD SOMETHING TO SAY IN THE
  • 20:29
  • DEMOCRATIC PARTY APPARATUS TOLD
  • 20:30
  • THE STORY TONIGHT AND WAS
  • 20:32
  • DEMONSTRATING THE DEPTH AND
  • 20:36
  • BREADTH OF WHO THEY ARE AND
  • 20:37
  • WHAT THEY BELIEVE SETTING THE
  • 20:38
  • TONE FOR THIS WEEK, FRANKLY AND
  • 20:39
  • FOR THE REST OF THE SELECTION

  • 20:49
  • STORY.
  • 20:50
  • AND THEN TO SEE JOE BIDEN.
  • 20:54
  • HE HAS BEEN IN PUBLIC SERVICE
  • 20:55
  • SINCE HE WAS IN HIS MID-20s.
  • 20:59
  • HE KNOWS WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE
  • 21:00
  • A YOUNG PERSON THAT HAS
  • 21:01
  • SOMETHING TO SAY AND WANTS TO
  • 21:02
  • BE ENGAGED AND INVOLVED AND
  • 21:04
  • FEELS LIKE THE PEOPLE IN POWER
  • 21:07
  • HAVE NOT PASSED THE BATON TO
  • 21:08
  • THE YOUNGER GENERATION.
  • 21:11
  • HE WAS 29 YEARS OLD AND ELECT
  • 21:13
  • TO THE UNITED STATES SENATE AND
  • 21:16
  • HIS WIFE AND THEN DAUGHTER
  • 21:18
  • KILLED IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND HE
  • 21:22
  • SAID HE DIDN'T WANT TO SERVE.
  • 21:23
  • IT WAS THE SENATORS IN THE
  • 21:24
  • SENATE AT THE TIME THAT PULLED
  • 21:25
  • HIM IN, REPUBLICANS AND
  • 21:28
  • DEMOCRATS THAT MADE SURE HE

  • YOU NEED TO BE HERE AND WE NEED
  • 21:35
  • YOU.
  • 21:36
  • AMERICA NEEDS YOU IN THE SENATE
  • 21:39
  • NEEDS YOU.

  • BIDEN TO GO FROM THAT 29-YEAR-
  • 21:41
  • OLD YOUNG PERSON TO THIS
  • 21:47
  • SEASONED PRESIDENT WHO WON AN
  • 21:51
  • ELECTION AND WHO GOT A PRIMARY
  • 21:52
  • AND EVERYBODY SAID HE COULD WIN
  • 21:54
  • AND BEAT DONALD TRUMP IN AN
  • 21:55
  • ELECTION WHERE EVERYBODY SAID
  • 21:56
  • THEY DIDN'T KNOW HOW HE WOULD
  • 21:57
  • DO IT AND BECAME PRESIDENT OF
  • 21:59
  • THE UNITED STATES AND CUT THE
  • 22:05
  • BILL BUT PEOPLE EVEN WHO WORK
  • 22:06
  • FOR HIM SAY WE DON'T KNOW AND
  • 22:10
  • WE HAD TO GO AND DO IT BUT HE
  • 22:11
  • GOT IT DONE.
  • 22:12
  • AND THEN TO SAY AND I'M STILL
  • 22:16
  • NOT MANAGED AND JOE BIDEN SAID

  • 22:39
  • THE REPRESENTATIVE OF WHAT THE
  • 22:39
  • FUTURE OF THIS PARTY IS AND
  • 22:41
  • THAT IS JOE BIDEN.
  • 22:44
  • IF HE WANTED TO SPEAK FOR 25
  • 22:47
  • MORE MINUTES, I WOULD HAVE SAID
  • 22:50
  • THAT.
  • 22:51
  • BUT HE DESERVED THIS NIGHT AND
  • 22:54
  • SO MUCH MORE.
  • 22:58
  • IT WAS THE PRIVILEGE OF MY LIFE
  • 22:59
  • TO WORK FOR JOE BIDEN.
