S IS TOK. 2016, THE DEMOCRATS HAVE LEARNED SOMETHING. THIS IS A UNIFIED PARTY. THERE ARE NOT HOLDOUTS THIS TIME AROUND. >> AND THAT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE. PARTIES THAT ARE DIVIDED BASICALLY LOSE ELECTIONS. THIS PARTY HAS COME TOGETHER. LOOK AT BERNIE SANDERS AND THEY REMEMBER THAT AND THEY REMEMBER HOW WANT TO MAKE SURE HIS IDEAS, SOME OF THEM BECOM PART OF THEM GOING FORWARD TOGETHER. >> THANK YOU. LET'S LIS >> WE ARE LAYING THE GROUNDWORK FOR KAMALA HARRIS TO BECOME OUR NEXT PRESIDENT. [CHEERS AND AP LET ME TELL W THAT IS SO 1:03 IMPORTANT. I WANT YOU ALL TO REMEMBERRE WE WERE 3.5 YEARS AGO. WE WERE IN THE MIDST OF THE WORST PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS IN 100 YEARS.WORST ECONOMIC DOWNTURN SINCE THE GREAT DEPRESSION. 3,000 AMERICANS WERE DYING EVERY DAY. WITH COVID PATIENTS.VERWHELMED ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY, BUSINESSES WERE SHUTTING DOWN. UNEMPLOYMENT WAS SOARING. WORKERS WERE LOSING THEIR HEALTH E SCHOOLS WERE CLOSING. STATE AND CITY BUDGETS WERE RUNNING OUT OF MONEY 2:01 PEOPLE WERE BEING EVICTED FROM THEIR HOMES. CHILDREN IN AMERICA WERE GOING HUNGRY. THAT WAS THE REALITY. THE BIDEN-HARRIS ADMINISTRATION FACED IT AS THEY ENTERED THE OVAL OFFICE. A NATION SUFFERING, A NATION FRIGHTENED, AND PEOPLE LOOKING TO THEIR GOVERNMENT FOR SUPPORT. WITHIN TWO MONTHS, OUR GOVERNMENT DID RESPOND. WE PASS THE AMERICAN $1400 FOR EVERY MAN, WOMAN, AND CHILD IN THE WORKING CLASS. 3:02 WE EXTENDED AND EXPANDED BENEFITS FOR THE UNEMPLOYED. WED EMESSISTANC FOR SMALL BUSINESSES TO STAY OPEN. WE GUARANTEED HEALTH CARE COVERAGE TO TENS OF MILLIONS OF AMERICANS THROUGH ONE OF THERGED IN HISTORY. WE PROVIDED RENT RELIEF AND MORTGAGE ASSISTANCE, WHICH PREVENTED TENANTS AND HOMEOWNERS FROM BEING EVICTED. WE ESTABLISHED EMEOODOGRAMS FORD THE ELDERLY AND PROTECTED THE PENSIONS OF MILLIONS OF UNION WORKERS AND RETIREES FROM BEING SLASHED BY UP TO 65%. 4:06 BY THEAY, WE CUT CHILDHOOD POVERTY BY OVER 40% THROUGH AN EXPANDED CHILD TAX CREDIT. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT BIDEN. THANK YOU, VICE PRESIDENT HA HARRIS. THANK YOU, DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS. I SAY ALL OF THIS, NOT TO RELIVE THAT DIFFICULT MOMENT, BUT TO MAKE ONE SIMPLE POINT. WHEN THE POLITICAL WILL IS TH THERE, GOVERNMENT CAN BE EFFECTIVE L F. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] NOW, WE NEED TO THAT WILL 5:04 AGAIN. TOO MANY OF OUR FELLOW AMERICANS ARE STRUGGLING EVERY DAY TO JUST GET BY. TO PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE. TO PAY THE GET THE HEALTH CARE THEY NEED. AND SISTERS, BOTTOM LINE, WE NEED AN ECONOMY THATRKT THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS. MY FELLOW AMERICANS, WHEN 60% OF OUR PEOPLE LIVE PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK, THE TOP 1% HAVE NEVER HAD IT SO GOOD. THESE OLIGARCHS, THEY TELL US WE 6:01 SHOULDN'T TAX THE RICH. THEY TELL US WE SHOULDN' ON GOUGING. WE SHOULDN'T EXPAND MEDICARE TO COVER DENTAL, HEARING, AND VISION. AND WE SHOULDN'T INCREASE SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS FOR STRUGGLING SENIORS. I'VE GOT SOME BAD NEWS FOR THEM. THAT IS PRECISELY WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO. AND WE ARE GOING TO WIN THIS STRUGGLE BECAUSE THIS IS PRECISELY WHAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT FROM THEIR GOVERNMENT. 7:02 MY FRIENDS, AT THE VERY TOP OF THAT TO-DO LIST IS THE NEED TO GET BIG MONEY OUT OF OUR POLITICAL PROCESS. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] BILLIONAIRES IN BOTH PARTIES SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BUY ELECTIONS, INCLUDING PRIMARY ELECTIONS. FOR THE SAKE OF OUR DEMOCRACY. WE MUST OVERTURN THE DISASTROUS CITIZENS UNITED SUPREME COURT DECISION. AND MOVE TOWARDS PUBLIC FUNDING OF ELECTIONS. LET ME TELL YOU WHAT ELSE. 8:04 WE NEED TO JOIN THE REST OF THE INDUSTRIALIZED WORLD AND GUARANTEE HEALTH CARE TO ALL PEOPLE AS A HUMAN RIGHT, NOT A PRIVILEGE. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] >> WE NEED TO RAISE THE MINIMUM WAGE TO A LIVING WAGE. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] >> WE NEED TO PASS THE PRO ACTS SO WORKERS CAN ORGANIZE IN UNIONS. AND GAINED DECENT PAY AND BENEFITS THEY DESERVE. WE NEED TO STRENGTHEN PUBLIC EDUCATION. RAISE TEACHER'S SALARIES. AND MAKE SURE EVERY AMERICAN, REGARDLESS OF INCOME, RECEIVES THE HIGHER EDUCATION HE OR SHE 9:02 NEEDS. WE NEED TO TAKE ON BIG PHARMA AND CUT OUR PRESCRIPTION DRUG COSTS IN HALF. SO THAT WE NO LONGER PAY ANY ANYMORE. -- PAYING ANY MORE THAN OTHER COUNTRIES. JOANNE, LE MADE SURE NO SENIOR PAYS OVER $35 A MONTH FOR INSULIN. WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT REALITY IS TRUE FOR EVERY AMERICAN. I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH KAMALA HARRIS AND TIM TO PASS THIS AGENDA. LET US BE CLEAR. THIS IS NOT A RADICAL AGENDA. 10:03 LET ME TELL YOU WHAT A RADICAL AGENDA IS. THAT IS, TRAUMA'S PROJECT 2025. -- THAT IS TRUMP'S PROJECT 2025. GIVING MORE TAX BREAKS TO BILLIONAIRES IS RADICAL. PUTTING FORTH BUDGETS THAT CUT SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE, AND MEDICAID IS RADICAL. LEADING POLLUTERS DESTROY OUR PLANET IS RADICAL. AND, MY FRIENDS, WE WON'T LET THAT HAPPEN. FELLOW AMERICANS, IN THE LAST 3.5 YEARS, WORKING TOGETHER, WE 11:02 HAVE ACCOMPLISHED MORE THAN ANY GOVERNMENT SINCE FDR. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] MUCH MORE REMAINS TO BE DONE. WE MUST SUMMON THE COURAGE TO STAND UP TO WEALTH AND POWER AND DELIVER JUSTICE FOR PEOPLE AT HOME AND ABROAD. ABROAD. WE MUST END THIS HORRIFIC WAR IN GAZA. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] BRING HOME THE HOSTAGES AND DEMAND AN IMMEDIATE CEASE-FIRE. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] 12:06 AT HOME, RIGHT HERE, WE MUST TAKE ON BIG PHARMA, BIG OIL, BIG TECH AND ALL THE OTHER CORPORATE MONOPOLISTS WHOSE GREED IS DENYING PROGRESS FOR WORKING PEOPLE. ON NOVEMBER 5TH, LET US SELECT KAMALA HARRIS AS OUR PRESIDENT AND LET US GO FORWARD. TO CREATE THE NATION WE KNOW WE
