THANK YOU FOR THE INTRODUCTION. AND FOR BEING MY COURAGEOUS HEART ALONG WITH HUNTER AND OUR ENTIRE FAMILY AND ESPECIALLY OUR ROCK, JILL. THOSE OF YOU WHO KNOW US, SHE STILL LEAVES ME BOTH BREATHLESS AND SPEECHLESS. EVERYBODY KNOWS HER, I LOVE HER MORE THAN SHE LOVES ME. SHE WALKS DOWN THE STAIRS AND I STILL GET THAT BOOM, BOOM, BOOM. LET'S GIVE A SPECIAL ROUND OF APPLAUSE TO OUR FIRST LADY, 1:05 JILL BIDEN. JILL BIDEN 1:16 MY DAD, MY DAD USED TO HAVE AN 1:25 EXPRESSION HE WOULD SAY JOEY, FAMILY IS THE BEGINNING, THE 1:30 MIDDLE, AND THE END. AND I LOVE 1:48 YOU ALL. FOLKS, LET ME ASK YOU. 2:05 >> WE LOVE JOE! WE LOVE JOE! WE LOVE JOE! >> LET ME ASK YOU, ARE YOU READY TO VOTE FOR FREEDOM? 2:14 ARE YOU READY TO VOTE FOR DEMOCRACY AND AMERICA? 2:21 LET ME ASK YOU, ARE YOU READY TO ELECT KAMALA HARRIS AND TIM 2:31 WALZ? MY FELLOW DEMOCRATS, MY 2:37 FELLOW AMERICANS, NEARLY FOUR 2:45 YEARS AGO, IN WINTER, ON THE STEPS OF THE CAPITOL ON A COLD JANUARY DAY, I RAISED MY RIGHT 2:50 HAND AND I SWORE AN OATH TO YOU AND TO GOD TO PRESERVE, PROTECT, AND DEFEND THE 3:00 CONSTITUTION AND TO FAITHFULLY EXECUTE THE OFFICE FOR THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. IN FRONT OF ME WAS A CITY 3:08 SURROUNDED BY THE NATIONAL GUARD, BEHIND ME, A CAPITAL 3:17 WHERE TWO WEEKS BEFORE WAS OVERRUN BY A VIOLENT MOB. I KNEW THEN, FROM THE BOTTOM OF 3:25 MY HEART AND I KNOW NOW, THERE IS NO PLACE IN AMERICA FOR 3:31 POLITICAL VIOLENCE, NONE! 3:38 YOU CANNOT SAY YOU LOVE YOUR COUNTRY ONLY WHEN YOU WIN. 3:49 IN THAT MOMENT, I WASN'T LOOKING TO THE PAST, I WAS LOOKING TO THE FUTURE. I SPOKE TO THE WORK AT HAND, 3:55 THE MOMENT WE HAD TO MEET, IT WAS AS I TOLD YOU THEN, A 4:02 WINTER OF PERIL AND POSSIBILITIES. PERIL AND POSSIBILITIES. 4:11 WE WERE IN THE GRIP OF A ONCE IN A CENTURY PANDEMIC, HISTORIC 4:19 JOBLESSNESS, A CALL FOR RUSS -- RACIAL JUSTICE LONG OVERDUE. 4:25 CLEAR AND PRESENT THREATS TO OUR VERY DEMOCRACY. 4:32 >> WE LOVE JOE! WE LOVE JOE! WE LOVE JOE! 4:41 >> THANK YOU. >> WE LOVE JOE! >> AND YET I BELIEVED THEN, AND 4:47 I BELIEVE NOW, PROGRESS WAS AND 4:54 IS POSSIBLE, OUR BEST DAYS ARE NOT BEHIND US, THEY ARE BEFORE 5:04 US! NOW, IT'S SUMMER, THE WINTER 5:12 HAS PASSED, AND WITH A GRATEFUL HEART, I STAND BEFORE YOU NOW ON THIS AUGUST NIGHT TO REPORT 5:18 THAT DEMOCRACY HAS PREVAILED! 5:25 DEMOCRACY HAS DELIVERED, AND 5:30 NOW DEMOCRACY MUST BE PRESERVED! 5:40 . YOU'VE HEARD ME SAY IT BEFORE 5:49 , WE ARE FACING AN INFLECTION POINT. ONE OF THOSE RARE MOMENTS IN HISTORY WHEN THE DECISIONS WE MAKE NOW WILL DETERMINE THE 5:54 FATE OF OUR NATION AND OUR WORLD, FOR DECADES TO COME. 6:01 THAT'S NOT HYPERBOLE, I MEAN IT LITERALLY. WE ARE IN THE BATTLE FOR THE 6:07 VERY SOUL OF AMERICA. I RAN FOR PRESIDENT IN 2020 BECAUSE WHAT I SAW IN 6:14 CHARLOTTESVILLE. IN AUGUST OF 2017. EXTREMISTS, COMING OUT OF THE WOODS, CARRYING TORCHES, THEIR 6:22 VEINS BULGING FROM THEIR NEXT, CARRYING SWASTIKAS AND CHANTING 6:32 THE SAME ANTI-SEMITIC BILE THAT WAS HEARD IN GERMANY IN THE EARLY 30s. NEO-NAZIS WHITE SUPREMACISTS, 6:39 AND THE KU KLUX KLAN, SO EMBOLDENED BY A PRESIDENT THAT 6:46 THEY SAW AS AN ALLY. THEY DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO WEAR 6:54 THEIR HOODS. HATE WAS ON THE MARCH IN AMERICA. FULL OF GHOSTS IN NEW GARMENTS. 7:01 STIRRING UP THE OLDEST VISION, STOKING THE OLDEST FEARS, 7:09 GIVING OXYGEN TO THE OLDEST 7:14 FORCES THAT THEY LONG SOUGHT TO TEAR APART AMERICA. IN THE PROCESS A YOUNG WOMAN 7:23 WAS KILLED WHEN I CONTACTED THE MOTHER AND ASKED ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED, SHE TOLD ME WHEN THE PRESIDENT WAS ASKED, WHAT HE 7:29 THOUGHT HAD HAPPENED, DONALD TRUMP SAID THEY WERE VERY FINE 7:35 PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES. MY GOD, THAT'S WHAT HE SAID. 7:42 THAT IS WHAT HE SAID AND WHAT HE MEANT. THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED, I COULD 7:49 NOT STAY ON THE SIDELINES, SO I 7:56 RAN. I HAD NO INTENTION OF 8:02 RUNNING AGAIN, I JUST LOST PART OF MY SOUL BUT I RAN WITH A DEEP CONVICTION IN AMERICA. 8:09 I KNOW AND BELIEVE IN AN AMERICA WHERE HONESTY, DIGNITY, 8:15 DECENCY, STILL MATTERS AND 8:22 AMERICA WHERE EVERYONE HAS A FAIR SHOT, AND HATE HAS NO SAFE 8:29 HARBOR AMERICA, ALL OF US ARE 8:39 CREATED EQUAL IT'S VERY MUCH ALIVE. AND A BROAD COALITION OF 8:46 AMERICANS JOINED WITH ME. 81 MILLION VOTERS VOTED FOR US, 8:53 MORE THAN ANY TIME IN HISTORY. 9:01 BECAUSE OF ALL OF YOU IN THIS ROOM AND OTHERS, WE CAME TOGETHER IN 2022 SAVE 9:07 DEMOCRACY. AS YOUR PRESIDENT, I'VE BEEN 9:13 DETERMINED TO KEEP AMERICA MOVING FORWARD, NOT GOING BACK, TO STAND AGAINST HATE AND 9:23 VIOLENCE IN ALL OF ITS FORMS, TO BE A NATION WHERE WE NOT ONLY LIVE BUT THRIVE ON DIVERSITY, DEMONIZING NO ONE, 9:30 LEAVING NO ONE BEHIND AND BECOMING THE NATION THAT WE 9:36 PROFESS TO BE. I ALSO RAN TO REBUILD THE 9:45 BACKBONE OF AMERICA, THE MIDDLE 9:50 CLASS. I MADE A COMMITMENT TO YOU THAT 9:58 I WOULD BE PRESIDENT FOR ALL AMERICANS, WHETHER YOU VOTED FOR ME OR NOT. WE HAVE DONE THAT. STUDIES SHOW 10:09 THE MAJOR BILLS THAT WE PASSED DELIVERED MORE TO RED STATES 10:15 THEN BLUE. THE JOB OF THE PRESIDENT IS TO BE A PRESIDENT TO ALL 10:22 AMERICANS. AND BECAUSE OF YOU AND I'M NOT EXAGGERATING, BECAUSE OF YOU, 10:30 WE HAD ONE OF THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY FOUR YEARS OF 10:37 PROGRESS, EVER. AND WHEN I SAY WE, I MEAN KAMALA AND ME. 10:42 JUST THINK ABOUT IT. COVID, NO LONGER CONTROLS OUR 10:49 LIVES. WE'VE GONE FROM ECONOMIC CRISIS, 11:00 A RECORD 16 MILLION NEW JOBS, RECORD SMALL BUSINESS GROWTH, 11:09 RECORD STOCK MARKET, WAGES ARE UP AND INFLATION IS DOWN, AND IT'S CONTINUING TO GO DOWN. 11:19 THE SMALLEST RACIAL WEALTH GAP IN 20 YEARS. AND YES, WE BOTH KNOW WE HAVE 11:26 MORE TO DO. BUT WE ARE MOVING IN THE RIGHT 11:34 DIRECTION. MORE AMERICANS HAVE PEACE OF MIND AND THAT COMES FROM HAVING HEALTH INSURANCE. MORE AMERICANS HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE TODAY THAN EVER 11:39 BEFORE IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 11:49 AND AFTER, AS A YOUNG SENATOR, BEGINNING TO FIGHT FOR 50 YEARS TO GIVE MEDICARE THE POWER TO 11:59 NEGOTIATE PRESCRIPTION DRUG PRICES, WE FINALLY BEAT BIG 12:06 PHARMA. AND GUESS WHO CAST THE 12:15 TIE-BREAKING VOTE, VICE PRESIDENT, SOON-TO-BE PRESIDENT 12:21 KAMALA HARRIS. AND NOW, IT'S THE LAW OF THE LAND. INSTEAD OF PAYING $400 A MONTH, 12:29 SENIORS WITH DIABETES WILL PAY $35 A MONTH. THE LAW WE PASSED, STARTING IN 12:43 JANUARY, EVERY SCENE IS TOTAL PRESCRIPTION COST CAN BE CAPPED AT $2000 NO MATTER HOW EXPENSIVE OF A DRUG THEY HAVE. 12:48 OUR REPUBLICAN FRIENDS DON'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND, IT DOESN'T 12:55 JUST SAVE SENIORS MONEY, IT SAVES THE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS MONEY. YOU KNOW WHAT WE JUST PAST 13:03 SAVES, IT SAVES $160 BILLION OVER THE NEXT DECADE. 13:09 THAT IS NOT HYPERBOLE. IT'S BECAUSE MEDICARE NO LONGER HAS TO PAY THOSE EXORBITANT PRICES TO BIG PHARMA. 13:20 BUT LOOK -- 13:25 >> THANK YOU JOE! THANK YOU JOE! THANK YOU JOE! >> THANK YOU, KAMALA, TOO. 13:33 LOOK, FOLKS, HOW CAN WE HAVE THE STRONGEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD WITHOUT THE BEST INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE WORLD? 13:42 DONALD TRUMP PROMISED INFRASTRUCTURE WEEK, EVERY WEEK FOR 40 YEARS AND HE NEVER BUILT 13:51 A THING. BUT NOW BECAUSE OF KAMALA, 14:03 REMEMBER WE WERE TOLD WE COULDN'T GET IT DONE. WE CAME IN OFFICE, WE COULDN'T GET ANYTHING PAST, BUT RIGHT NOW, WE ARE GIVING AMERICA AND 14:10 INFRASTRUCTURE DECADE, NOT WEEK. WE ARE MODERNIZING OUR ROADS, OUR BRIDGES, OUR PORTS, AIR 14:17 TRAINS, OUR BUSES, REMOVING 14:22 EVERY LEAD PIPE FROM SCHOOLS AND HOMES SO EVERY CHILD CAN DRINK CLEAN WATER, PROVIDING AFFORDABLE HIGH-SPEED INTERNET, 14:28 EVERY AMERICAN A MATTER WHERE THEY LIVE NOT UNLIKE WHAT 14:34 ROOSEVELT DID WITH ELECTRICITY, AND SO MUCH MORE. WE ARE UNITED IN COUNTRY, WE 14:41 ARE GROWING OUR ECONOMY, WE ARE IMPROVING OUR QUALITY OF LIFE 14:47 AND BUILDING A BETTER AMERICA. 14:54 THAT'S WHO WE ARE. HOW CAN WE 15:03 BE THE STRONGEST NATION IN THE WORLD WITHOUT LEADING THE WORLD IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY? AFTER YEARS OF IMPORTING OUR 15:11 SEMI CONDUCTOR CHIPS ABROAD, AMERICANS INVENTED THOSE CHIPS, 15:16 OUR CHIPS AND SCIENCE ACT, THAT 15:23 MEANT PRIVATE COMPANIES FROM AROUND THE WORLD ARE NOW INVESTING TENS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO BUILD NEW CHIPS 15:28 FACTORIES RIGHT HERE IN AMERICA 15:35 . OVER THAT PERIOD THEY WILL CREATE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF JOBS AND MANY OF THE JOBS, THE 15:41 BUILDINGS TO MAKE THE CHIPS ARE BEING CONSTRUCTED NOW AND GUESS 15:47 WHAT, THE AVERAGE SALARY WILL 15:55 BE OVER $100,000 A YEAR, AND YOU DON'T NEED A COLLEGE DEGREE. 16:01 . BECAUSE OF YOU AND SO MANY 16:08 OTHERS OUT THERE, AMERICAN MANUFACTURING IS BACK. 16:14 800,000 NEW MANUFACTURING JOBS. 16:24 OUR REPUBLICAN FRIENDS AND OTHERS MADE SURE THEY WOULD GO 16:30 ABROAD TO GET THE CHEAPEST LABOR. WE USED IT IMPORT PRODUCTS AND EXPORT JOBS NOW WE EXPORT 16:35 AMERICAN PRODUCTS AND CREATE 16:41 AMERICAN JOBS. RIGHT HERE IN AMERICA, WHERE JOBS BELONG. WITH EVERY NEW JOB, WITH EVERY 16:48 NEW FACTORY, PRIDE AND HOPE IS BEING BROUGHT BACK TO 16:55 COMMUNITIES, YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE MANY OF YOU, WHEN THE FACTORY CLOSED WHERE MOTHER OR 17:02 FATHER OR GRANDMOTHER OR GRANDFATHER WORKED AND NOW YOU ARE BACK PROVIDING ONCE AGAIN, 17:08 PROVING, WALL STREET DIDN'T BUILD AMERICA, THE MIDDLE CLASS BUILT AMERICA AND UNIONS BUILT 17:14 THE MIDDLE CLASS! 17:26 IT'S BEEN MY VIEW SINCE I CAME TO THE SENATE, THAT'S WHY I'M 17:32 PROUD TO HAVE BEEN THE FIRST PRESIDENT TO WALK A PICKET LINE 17:41 AND BE LABELED THE MOST PRO- UNION PRESIDENT IN HISTORY. 17:53 BECAUSE WHEN UNIONS DO WELL, WE ALL DO WELL. 18:00 DO WELL. 18:07 YOU GOT IT MAN, YOU GOT IT. I 18:16 AGREE. I'M PROUD. LUCK, WE WERE TOLD WE COULDN'T GET ANYTHING DONE WITH THE 18:27 CONGRESS BUT WITH YOUR SUPPORT WE PASS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CLIMATE LAW IN THE HISTORY OF 18:36 MANKIND. $370 BILLION, CUTTING 18:41 CARBON EMISSIONS IN HALF BY 2030. LAUNCHING CLIMATE CORE, TENS OF 18:52 THOUSANDS OF JOBS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE FUTURE, MAKING SURE THIS CONTINUES HUNDREDS OF 19:02 THOUSANDS OF JOBS FOR AMERICAN WORKERS, INCLUDING THE IBW 19:07 INSTALLING 500,000, 500,000 CHARGING STATIONS ALL ACROSS AMERICA. 19:12 AND IN THE PROCESS, REDUCING CARBON EMISSIONS. 19:18 AND WE ARE SEEING IT THAT THE 19:23 FIRST BENEFICIARIES OF THESE INITIATIVES ARE THE DEFENSE 19:31 LINE COMMUNITIES THAT WERE SMOTHERED BY THE LEGACY OF POLLUTION, LOUISIANA AND 19:38 DELAWARE, ALL THE FACTORS, ALL THE CHEMICAL FACTORIES ARE RIGHT NEXT TO THE POOREST NEIGHBORHOODS. 19:43 THEY ARE THE ONES WE ARE GOING TO BRING BACK HOW CAN WE BE THE 19:54 GREATEST NATION IN THE WORLD WITHOUT THE BEST EDUCATION SYSTEM IN THE WORLD? 20:02 DONALD TRUMP AND THE REPUBLICANS NOT ONLY CAN THEY 20:07 NOT THINK, THEY CAN'T READ VERY WELL, SERIOUSLY, THINK ABOUT IT, LOOK AT THEIR PROJECT 2025. 20:16 THEY WANT TO DO AWAY WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, DURING THE PANDEMIC, KAMALA AND I 20:24 HELPED CITIES TO THEIR SCHOOLS BACK OPEN AND WE GAVE PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS A RAISE. WE 20:35 CREATED APPRENTICESHIPS WITH BUSINESSES AND COMMUNITY, PUTTING STUDENTS ON A PATH TO 20:42 GOOD PAYING JOBS, WHETHER OR NOT THEY GO TO COLLEGE AND BY THE WAY, MAKING COLLEGE A LOT 20:50 MORE AFFORDABLE. INCREASING PELL GRANTS BY $900. OVER $15 BILLION TO HBCUS, 21:01 MINORITY SERVICES INCLUDING HISPANIC INSTITUTIONS AND 21:07 TRIBAL COLLEGES. WE KEPT OUR COMMITMENT TO PROVIDE MORE STUDENT RELIEF THAN EVER BY LIFTING THE BURDEN OF HELPING 21:16 MILLIONS OF FAMILIES SO THEY COULD GET MARRIED, START A FAMILY, BUY A HOME AND BEGIN TO BUILD WEALTH AND GROW OUR 21:25 ECONOMY. IT'S NOT COSTING US, IT'S CREATING MORE WEALTH. WE FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORMED 21:32 OUR ECONOMY HOW IT GROWS, FROM THE MIDDLE OUT AND THE BOTTOM UP INSTEAD OF THE TOP-DOWN. YOU 21:42 KNOW MY DAD USED TO SAY THERE WASN'T A WHOLE LOT THAT DROPPED DOWN ON MY KITCHEN TABLE AT THE 21:47 END OF THE MONTH. 21:52 I COME FROM A MIDDLE-CLASS FAMILY, THREE BEDROOM HOUSE, FOR KIDS, DECENT NEIGHBORHOOD BUT NEVER A PENNY TO SPARE AND 21:59 LOOK, THE TOP-DOWN MOTION NEVER 22:06 WORKED. WE DID ALL THAT, WHAT WE'VE 22:13 DONE, EVERYBODY CAN DO WELL. 22:19 EVERYBODY. DONALD TRUMP CALLS 22:25 AMERICA A FAILING NATION. THINK ABOUT THIS, THINK ABOUT 22:34 THIS. REPUBLICANS SAY TO THE WHOLE WORLD, I WILL SAY SOMETHING OUTRAGEOUS, I KNOW MORE FOREIGN LEADERS BY THEIR FIRST NAME 22:40 BECAUSE I'M SO OLD BUT I'M NOT 22:50 JOKING, WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT AMERICA BEING A FAILING NATION, HE SAYS WE ARE LOSING, HE IS THE LOSER, HE'S DEAD WRONG. 23:06 MANY OF YOU ARE VERY SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE WHO HAVE TRAVELED THE WORLD. NAME ME A COUNTRY IN THE WORLD 23:13 THAT DOESN'T THINK WE ARE THE LEADING NATION IN THE WORLD. WITHOUT AMERICA NOT A JOKE, THINK ABOUT IT, I'M BEING 23:20 LITERAL, WHO CAN LEAVE THE WORLD OTHER THAN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA? WELL GUESS 23:30 WHAT? AMERICA IS WINNING AND THE WORLD IS BETTER OFF FOR IT. AMERICA IS MORE PROSPEROUS AND 23:36 AMERICA IS SAFER TODAY THAN WHEN WE WERE UNDER DONALD TRUMP. HE CONTINUES TO LIE ABOUT CRIME IN AMERICA LIKE EVERYTHING 23:41 ELSE, GUESS WHAT? ON HIS WATCH, THE MURDER RATE 23:54 WENT UP 30%, THE BIGGEST INCREASE IN HISTORY. MEANWHILE, WE MADE THE LARGEST INVESTMENT, KAMALA AND I IN PUBLIC SAFETY, EVER, NOW THE MURDER RATE IS FALLING FASTER 24:00 THAN ANY TIME IN HISTORY. VIOLENT CRIME HAS DROPPED TO THE LOWEST LEVEL IN MORE THAN 50 YEARS, AND CRIME WILL KEEP 24:08 COMING DOWN WHEN WE PUT A PROSECUTOR IN THE OVAL OFFICE INSTEAD OF A CONVICTED FELON. 24:29 AND FOLKS, THE DISTINGUISHED SENATOR FROM CALIFORNIA AND I PASSED A BAN ON ASSAULT WEAPONS 24:35 AND GUESS WHAT, IT WORKED. 24:40 IF YOU CARE ABOUT PUBLIC SAFETY, YOU NEED TO PREVENT GUN 24:47 VIOLENCE. IT MAKES ME ASHAMED WHEN I TRAVEL THE WORLD WHICH I DO, MORE CHILDREN IN AMERICA ARE 24:54 KILLED BY A GUNSHOT THEN ANY 25:01 OTHER COUNTRY, MORE DIE FROM A BULLET THAN CANCER, OR ANYTHING ELSE, AND THE UNITED STATES OF 25:07 AMERICA. MY GOD, THAT'S WHY WE ARE 25:13 PROUD, WE BEAT THE NRA. I'M 25:28 SERIOUS NOW IT'S TIME TO BAN ASSAULT WEAPONS AGAIN! AND 25:36 DEMAND UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND 25:41 CHECKS. IT'S HARD, I NEVER 25:54 THOUGHT I WOULD STAND BEFORE A CROWD OF DEMOCRATS AND REFERRED TO A PRESIDENT AS A LIAR SO MANY TIMES, I'M NOT TRYING TO BE FUNNY. 25:59 IT'S SAD. TRUMP CONTINUES TO LIE ABOUT THE BORDER, HERE'S WHAT HE WON'T TELL YOU. 26:09 TRUMP KILLED THE STRONGEST BIPARTISAN BORDER DEAL IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. 26:14 WE NEGOTIATED WITH THE SENATE REPUBLICANS FOR FOUR WEEKS. ONCE IT PASSED, HE CALLED 26:26 SENATORS TO SAY, DON'T SUPPORT THE BIPARTISAN BILL, HE SAID IT 26:34 WOULD HELP ME POLITICALLY AND HURT HIM POLITICALLY. 26:39 MY GOD, I'M SERIOUS, THINK ABOUT IT, NOT A JOKE. 26:48 TYPICALLY TRUMP, ONCE AGAIN PUTTING HIMSELF FIRST AND 26:55 AMERICA LAST. THEN I HAD TO TAKE EXECUTIVE ACTION, THE RESULT OF THE ACTION I TOOK, BORDER 27:05 ENCOUNTERS HAVE DROPPED OVER 50%. IN FACT THERE ARE FEWER PORTER CROSSINGS TODAY THAN WHEN 27:11 DONALD TRUMP LEFT OFFICE. AND UNLIKE TRUMP, WE WILL NOT 27:18 DEMONIZE IMMIGRANTS, SAYING THEY ARE THE POISONED BLOOD OF AMERICA. IT WOULD POISON THE BLOOD OF 27:25 OUR COUNTRY. KAMALA AND I ARE GOING TO 27:37 PROTECT DREAMERS AND MORE. AND HERE'S WHAT ELSE I BELIEVE 27:43 IN, PROTECTING YOUR FREEDOM, YOUR FREEDOM TO VOTE. YOUR FREEDOM TO LOVE WHO YOU 27:51 LOVE. AND YOUR FREEDOM TO CHOOSE 28:00 . THE DECISION TO OVERTURN ROE 28:05 VERSUS WADE, THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT MAJORITY WROTE THE FOLLOWING, QUOTE, WOMEN ARE 28:18 NOT WITHOUT ELECTORAL OR POLITICAL POWER. 28:28 NO KIDDING. MAGA REPUBLICANS FOUND OUT THE POWER OF WOMEN IN 28:36 2022 AND DONALD TRUMP IS GOING TO FIND OUT THE POWER OF WOMEN 28:45 IN 2024! 28:56 AND TRUMP AND HIS RIGHT-WINGERS SEEK TO ERASE HISTORY, WE 29:06 DEMOCRATS MAKE HISTORY. I'M PROUD, I'M PROUD TO HAVE KEPT MY COMMITMENT TO APPOINT 29:11 THE FIRST BLACK WOMAN TO THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT. 29:19 KETANJI BROWN JACKSON, A SYMBOL 29:24 FOR EVERY WOMAN IN AMERICA THAT YOU CAN DO ANYTHING. 30:03 UNITED STATES. 30:14 LOOK. 30:26 WE HAVE MANY OBLIGATIONS AS A 30:31 NATION BUT I MAKE NO APOLOGIES FOR SAYING THIS YEAR AGO. WE HAVE ONLY ONE TRUE SECRET 30:41 OBLIGATION AND TO PROTECT THOSE WE SEND WAR AND CARE FOR THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES WHEN THEY COME HOME AND WHEN THEY DON'T. 30:46 AND I AM SO PROUD THAT REAGAN SIGNED THE PACT ACT ONE OF THE 30:54 MOST SIGNIFICANT LAWS EVER HELPING VETERANS AND THEIR 31:00 FAMILIES EXPOSE TO TOXIC MATERIALS. AND I WAS AROUND DURING THE 31:07 VIETNAM WAR. NOBODY WAS EVER ABLE TO PROVE ILLNESS AS A CONSEQUENCE OF 31:13 AGENT ORANGE AND NOBODY ABLE TO 31:18 PROVE INITIALLY THAT BECAUSE THEY LIVED IN BURN PITS LIKE MY SON LIVED NEXT TO IN IRAQ FOR A YEAR THAT THAT WAS THE CAUSE OF 31:23 THEIR ILLNESS BUT BECAUSE OF THAT ACT, THE SURVIVING SPOUSE 31:31 AND TWO CHILDREN ARE ELIGIBLE FOR A STIPEND OF $3000 A MONTH. AND THOSE CHILDREN WHO LOST A 31:40 PARENT WITH BENEFITS TO GO TO COLLEGE AND GET JOB TRAINING. 31:47 AND IT HAS ALREADY HELPED OVER 1 MILLION VETERANS AND THEIR 31:52 FAMILIES SO FAR. AND I LOVE THEM AND I AM SO 32:00 PROUD OF MY SONS SERVICE. WE DO GET IT. BUT GUESS WHO DOESN'T GET IT 32:05 AND DOESN'T RESPECT OUR VETERANS? WE KNOW FROM HIS OWN CHIEF OF 32:11 STAFF THE FOUR-STAR GENERAL JOHN KELLY THAT WHEN TRUMP WENT 32:19 TO EUROPE THE BRAVE 32:26 SERVICEMEMBERS. WHO IN THE HELL THIS HEAT THINK HE IS. WHO DOES HE THINK IS? 32:35 NO WORDS OF A PRESIDENT AND THOSE ARE NOT THE WORDS OF PRESIDENT. HE IS NOT WORTHY OF BEING THE 32:42 COMMANDER OF CHIEF. NOT THEN, NOT NOW, NOT EVER. 32:49 I MEAN THAT FROM THE BOTTOM OF 32:54 MY HEART. THIS IS NO COMMANDER IN CHIEF THAT WOULD BOW DOWN TO A 33:02 DICTATOR LIKE TRUMP BOWS DOWN TO PUTIN. I NEVER HAVE. I PROMISE YOU. 33:09 KAMALA HARRIS WILL NEVER DO IT , WILL NEVER BOW DOWN. 33:14 WHEN TRUMP LEFT OFFICE, EUROPE AND NATO WAS IN TATTERS. NOT A JOKE. 33:24 IT CHANGED OUR WHOLE IMAGE IN THE WORLD. 33:29 AND THEY GAVE ABOUT 190 HOURS 33:35 SOME TOTAL AND HE AND MY COUNTERPARTS AND HEADS OF STATE IN EUROPE TO STRENGTHEN NATO. 33:40 WE DID. WE UNITED EUROPE LIKE IT HASN'T BEEN UNITED FOR YEARS ADDING 33:47 FINLAND AND SWEDEN TO NATO. 33:54 10 DAYS BEFORE HE DIED HE CALLED AND SAID NOT SINCE 34:02 NAPOLEON HAS EUROPE NOT LOOKED OVER THE SHOULDER OF RUSSIA 34:12 WITH DREAD UNTIL NOW. UNTIL NOW. GUESS WHAT? PUTIN THOUGHT HE WOULD TAKE 34:19 UKRAINE IN THREE DAYS AND THREE YEARS LATER UKRAINE IS STILL 34:26 FREE. AND WHEN I CAME TO OFFICE, THE 34:32 CONVENTIONAL WISDOM WAS THAT CHINA WOULD INEVITABLY SURPASS THE UNITED STATES. 34:42 THEY HAVEN'T NOTICED. NO ONE IS SAYING THAT NOW. WE WILL KEEP WORKING TO BRING 34:51 HOSTAGES HOME AND END THE WAR IN GAZA AND BRING PEACE AND SECURITY TO THE MIDDLE EAST. 35:02 AND AS YOU KNOW, I WROTE A 35:12 PEACE TREATY FOR GAZA. A FEW DAYS TO GO I PUT FORWARD A PROPOSAL THAT PUT US CLOSER TO DOING THAT THEN WE HAVE DONE SINCE OCTOBER 7 AND WE ARE 35:18 WORKING AROUND THE CLOCK WITH 35:24 MY SECRETARY OF STATE TO GET 35:30 ASSISTANCE INTO GAZA NOW. 35:36 TO END THE CIVILIAN SUFFERING AND POVERTY AND FINALLY, FINALLY FINALLY DELIVER A CEASE- 35:43 FIRE AND END THIS WAR. 35:59 AND THOSE PROTESTERS OUT IN THE STREET HAVE A POINT. 36:04 A LOT OF INNOCENT PEOPLE ARE BEING KILLED ON BOTH SIDES. 36:12 AND WE WORKED AROUND THE CLOCK TO BRING HOME WRONGFULLY DETAINED AMERICANS FROM RUSSIA AND ONE OF THE MOST COMPLICATED SWAPS IN HISTORY. BUT THEY ARE HOME. 36:23 AND KAMALA AND I WILL KEEP WORKING D TO BRING ALL AMERICA 36:31 WRONGFULLY DETAINED AROUND THE WORLD HOME. I MEAN IT. FOLKS, I HAVE FIVE MONTHS LEFT OF MY PRESIDENCY. 36:36 I HAVE A LOT TO DO. I INTEND TO GET IT DONE. 36:48 AND IT HAS BEEN THE HONOR OF MY LIFETIME TO SERVE AS YOUR PRESIDENT. I LOVE THE JOB. 36:55 BUT I LOVE MY COUNTRY MORE. I LOVE MY COUNTRY MORE. 37:05 ALL OF THIS TALK ABOUT HOW YOU 37:11 AND ANGRY AT ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO SAID I SHOULD STEP DOWN. IT ISN'T TRUE. 37:25 I LOVE MY COUNTRY MORE, AND WE 37:31 NEED TO PRESERVE OUR DEMOCRACY. IN 2024, WE NEED YOU TO VOTE. WE NEED YOU TO KEEP THE SENATE. 37:40 WE NEED YOU TO WIN BACK THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. ABOVE ALL, WE NEED YOU TO BE 37:51 DONALD TRUMP. 37:59 AND WE WILL ELECT KAMALA AND 38:07 TIM PRESIDENT AND VICE 38:17 PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THEY WILL CONTINUE TO LEAD AMERICA FORWARD CREATING MORE JOBS AND STANDING UP FOR WORKERS, GROWING THE ECONOMY AND LOWERING THE COST FOR AMERICAN FAMILY SO THEY HAVE A 38:22 LITTLE BIT MORE BREATHING ROOM. WE HAVE MADE INCREDIBLE PROGRESS. WE HAVE MORE WORK TO DO. AND KAMALA AND TIM WILL 38:28 CONTINUE TO TAKE ON CORPORATE GREED AND BRING DOWN COST OF 38:33 FOOD. THEY WILL KEEP TAKING OUT BIG PHARMA MAKING INSULIN $35 A 38:40 MONTH, NOT JUST FOR SENIORS BUT EVERYBODY IN AMERICA. AND CAPPING PRESCRIPTION DRUG 38:47 COSTS AS WELL. 38:55 TO A TOTAL OF NO MORE THAN $2000 AND NOT JUST FOR SENIORS BUT FOR EVERYONE. 39:07 AND 3 MILLION NEW HOMES PROVIDING 25,000 DOWNPAYMENTS 39:16 FOR FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYERS. 39:21 DONALD TRUMP ONCE THIS ON IMPORTED GOODS, GAS, CLOTHING AND MORE AND THAT WILL COST THE 39:32 AMERICAN FAMILY, $3900 A YEAR IN TAX. THAT IS A FACT. 39:38 KAMALA AND TIM WILL MAKE THE TAX CREDIT PERMANENT. 39:51 AND IT WILL LIFT PEOPLE OUT OF POVERTY AND HELP MILLIONS OF FAMILIES GET AHEAD. AND YOU KNOW WHAT TRUMP HAS? 39:58 HE CREATED A LAW WITH THE 2 40:10 TRILLION -- AND PUT US FURTHER IN DEBT. 40:17 FOLKS, YOU KNOW WE HAVE 1000 BILLIONAIRES IN AMERICA AND YOU 40:24 KNOW WHAT THE AVERAGE TAX RATE THEY PAY IS? 40:38 8.2%. IF WE JUST INCREASED TAXES WE PROPOSED WITH 25%, IN THE HIGHEST TAX RATE, IT WOULD RAISE 500 BILLION NEW DOLLARS 40:44 OVER 10 YEARS. AND THEY WOULD STILL BE VERY 40:54 WEALTHY. LOOK. KAMALA AND TIM ARE GOING TO MAKE THEM PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE. 41:00 THEY WILL PROTECT THAT SECURITY MEDICARE AND TRUMP ONCE TO CUT IT. KAMALA AND TIM WILL PROTECT YOUR FREEDOM , PROTECT YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE AND PROTECT YOUR CIVIL RIGHTS. YOU KNOW, TRUMP WILL DO EVERYTHING TO BAN KNABORTION NATIONWIDE. YOU WILL. KAMALA AND TIM WILL DO ND EVERYTHING THEY POSSIBLY CAN AND WE HAVE TO RESTORE ROE VERSUS WADE AND CHARACTER IS DESTINY. CHARACTER IS DESTINY. FOR ME AND JILL, WE KNOW KAMALA AND DOUG ARE PEOPLE OF CARE . IT HAS BEEN OUR HONOR TO SERVE 42:03 ALONGSIDE OF THEM. WE KNOW THAT TIM AND WHEN WALLS -- WALZ ARE PEOPLE OF GREAT CHARACTER AND IT WAS THE FIRST DECISION I MADE WHEN I BECAME THE NOMINEE AND IT WAS THE BEST DECISION I MADE MY WHOLE CAREER. NOT ONLY WE HAVE GOTTEN TO KNOW EACH OTHER, BUT WE HAVE BECOME CLOSE FRIENDS. SHE IS TOUGH, EXPERIENCED, AND SHE HAS ENORMOUS INTEGRITY. ENORMOUS INTEGRITY. HER STORY REPRESENTS THE BEST AMERICAN STORY. AND LIKE MANY OF OUR BEST PRESIDENTS, SHE WAS ALSO VICE PRESIDENT. THAT IS A JOKE. 43:04 SHE WILL BE A PRESIDENT OUR CHILDREN CAN LOOK UP TO. SHE WILL BE WIA PRESIDENT RESPECTED BY WORLD LEADERS BECAUSE SHE ALREADY IS. SHE WILL BE A PRESIDENT WE CAN ALL BE PROUD OF. SHE WILL BE A HISTORIC PRESIDENT WHO PUTS HER STAMP ON AMERICA'S FUTURE. AND THIS WILL BE THE FIRST PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION SINCE JANUARY 6. ON THAT DAY, WE ALMOST LOST EVERYTHING ABOUT WHO WE ARE AS A COUNTRY. AND THAT THREAT, WHICH ISN'T HYPERBOLE, THAT THREAT IS STILL VERY MUCH ALIVE. DONALD TRUMP SAID HE WILL REFUSE TO ACCEPT THE ELECTION RESULTS IF HE LOSES AGAIN. THINK ABOUT THAT. HE MEANS IT. THINK ABOUT THAT. HE IS PROMISING A BLOODBATH IF HE LOSES, IN HIS WORDS. THAT HE WILL BE A DICTATOR ON DAY ONE, IN HIS OWN WORDS. 44:06 AND BY THE WAY THIS SUCKER MEANS IT. KNOW. -- NO. I AM NOT JOKING. THINK ABOUT IT. IF ANYBODY ELSE SAID THAT YOU WOULD THINK HE WAS CRAZY. YOU THINK IT WOULD BE AN UL EXAGGERATION. WHAT HE MEANS IT. WE CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN. FOLKS, ALL OF US CARRY SPECIAL OBLIGATIONS AND INDEPENDENCE, REPUBLICANS, DEMOCRATS, WE SAVE DEMOCRACY IN 2020 AND WE MUST SAVE IT AGAIN IN 2024. AND IT WILL DETERMINE WHETHER DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM WILL PREVAIL AND IT IS THAT SIMPLE AND THAT SERIOUS. THE POWER IS LITERALLY IN YOUR 45:00 HAND. AND IT ISN'T HYPERBOLE. IT IS IN YOUR HANDS. AMERICA'S FUTURE IS IN YOUR HANDS. AND LET ME CLOSE WITH THIS. NOWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD COULD A KID WITH A STUTTER AND MODEST BEGINNINGS IN SCRANTON, PENNSYLVANIA AND DELAWARE GROW UP TO SIT BEHIND THE DESK IN THE OVAL OFFICE. THAT IS BECAUSE AMERICA IS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN A NATION OF POSSIBILITIES. POSSIBILITIES. WE MUST NEVER LOSE THAT, NEVER. KAMALA AND TIM UNDERSTAND THAT THIS NATION MUST CONTINUE TO BE A PLACE OF POSSIBILITIES, NOT JUST FOR THE FEW OF US, BUT FOR ALL OF US. SO JOIN ME IN PROMISING YOUR WHOLE HEART TO THIS EFFORT. 46:01 AND WHERE MY HEART WILL BE. I PROMISE I WILL BE THE BEST VOLUNTEER HARRISON WALZ HAS EVER SEEN. EACH OF US HAS A PART IN THE AMERICAN STORY. FOR ME AND MY FAMILY, THERE IS A SONG THAT MEANS A LOT TO US, AND IT CAPTURES THE BEST OF WHO WE ARE AS A NATION. THE SONG IS CALLED AMERICAN ANTHEM. THERE IS ONE VERSE THAT STANDS OUT. I CAN'T SING WORTH A SO I WON'T TRY. THE WORK AND PRAYERS OF CENTURIES HAVE LED US TO THIS DAY. WHAT SHOULD A LEGACY BE? WHAT WILL HER CHILDREN SAY? LET ME KNOW IN MY HEART WHEN MY DAYS ARE THROUGH, AMERICA, 47:03 AMERICA, I GAVE MY BEST TO YOU. I HAVE MADE A LOT OF MISTAKES IN MY CAREER. BUT I GAVE MY BEST TO YOU. FOR 50 YEARS, LIKE MANY OF YOU, I GAVE MY HEART AND SOUL TO OUR NATION. I HAVE BEEN BLESSED, 1 MILLION TIMES WITH THE RETURN IN SUPPORT OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. MAYBE TOO YOUNG TO BE IN THE SENATE BECAUSE I WASN'T 30 AT AND TOOL THIS DAY'S PRECEDENTS. BUT I DO HOPE YOU KNOW HOW 48:03 GRATEFUL I AM TO ALL OF YOU. I CAN HONESTLY SAY, AND I AM MORE OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THE FUTURE THAN I WAS WHEN I WAS ELECTED AS A 29-YEAR-OLD STATE SENATOR. I MEAN IT. FOLKS, WE JUST HAVE TO REMEMBER WHO WE ARE. WE ARE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. AND THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN'T DO WHEN WE DO IT TOGETHER. GOD BLESS YOU ALL. AND MAY GOD PROTECT OUR TROOPS.
