HERE IS A SENTENCE I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD HEAR MYSELF SAYING -- I AM, PETE BUTTIGIEG. YOU MIGHT RECOGNIZE ME FROM FOX NEWS. I BELIEVE IN GOING ANYWHERE, ANYWHERE, IN SERVICE OF A GOOD CAUSE. FRIENDS, WE GATHER IN A VERY GOOD CAUSE, ELECTING, HARRIS AND TIM WALZ, THE NEXT PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT, OF THE UNITED STATES. 1:00 THE CHOICE COULD NOT BE CLEARER. DONALD TRUMP RANTS ABOUT LAW AND ORDER AS IF HE WAS NOT A CONVICTED CRIMINAL RUNNING AGAINST A PROSECUTOR. AS IF WE WOULD FORGET THE CRIME WAS HIGHER ON HIS WATCH. TALKS ABOUT THE FORGOTTEN MAN, HOPING WE WILL FORGET THAT THE ONLY ECONOMIC PROMISE THAT HE ACTUALLY KEPT, WAS TO CUT TAXES FOR THE RICH. DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON HIS NEW RUNNING MATE. AT LEAST MIKE PENCE WAS POLITE. TONY DOKOUPIL IS ONE OF THOSE GUYS WHO THINKS THAT IF YOU DO NOT LIVE THE LIFE THAT HE HAS IN MIND FOR YOU, YOU DO NOT COUNT. SOMEONE WHO SAID THAT IF YOU DO NOT HAVE KIDS, YOU HAVE, QUOTE, 2:04 NO PHYSICAL COMMITMENT TO THE FUTURE OF THIS COUNTRY. YOU KNOW, SENATOR, WHEN I DEPLOYED TO AFGHANISTAN, I DID NOT HAVE KIDS THEN. MANY MEN AND WOMEN WHO WENT OUTSIDE THE WIRE WITH ME DID NOT HAVE KIDS EITHER. OUR COMMITMENT TO THE FUTURE OF THIS COUNTRY WAS PRETTYPHYSICAL. CHOOSING A GUY LIKE JD VANCE TO BE AMERICA'S NEXT VICE PRESIDENT, SENDS A MESSAGE. THE MESSAGE IS THAT THEY ARE DOUBLING DOWN ON NEGATIVITY AND GRIEVANCE. COMING TO A CONCEPT OF CAMPAIGNING SUMMED UP IN ONE WORD -- DARKNESS. DARKNESS. THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE SELLING. THE THING IS, I JUST DO NOT BELIEVE THAT AMERICA TODAY IS 3:01 IN THE MARKET FOR DARKNESS. I BELIEVE AMERICA IS READY FOR A BETTER KIND OF POLITICS. YES, POLITICS AT ITS WORST -- WORDS CAN BE UGLY, CRUSHING, DEMEANING. IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE. AT ITS BEST, POLITICS CAN BE EMPOWERING, UPLIFTING. IT CAN EVEN BE A KIND OF SOUL CRAFT. MY FAITH TEACHES ME THAT THE WORLD IS NOT MADE UP OF GOOD PEOPLE AND BAD PEOPLE. RATHER, EACH OF US IS CAPABLE OF GOOD AND BAD THINGS. I BELIEVE LEADERS MATTER BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY BRING OUT IN EACH OF US. THE GOOD OR THE BAD. RIGHT NOW THE OTHER SIDE IS APPEALING TO WHAT IS SMALLEST WITHIN YOU. THEY ARE TELLING YOU THAT GREATNESS COMES FROM GOING BACK TO THE PAST. THEY ARE TELLING YOU THAT ANYONE DIFFERENT FROM YOU IS A 4:00 THREAT. THEY ARE TELLING YOU THAT YOUR NEIGHBOR, OR NEPHEW, OR DAUGHTER, WHO DISAGREES WITH YOU POLITICALLY IS NOT JUST WRONG, BUT IS NOW THE ENEMY. I BELIEVE IN A BETTER POLITICS. ONE THAT FINDS US AT OUR MOST DECENT AND OPEN AND BRIEF. THE KIND OF POLITICS THAT KAMALA HARRIS AND WALZ ARE OFFERING. AS YOU FELT THESE MANY DAYS, THAT KIND OF POLITICS FEELS BETTER TO BE PART OF. THERE IS JOY IN AND IT, AS WELL AS POWER. IF ALL OF THAT SOUNDS NAOVE, LET ME INSIST THAT I HAVE COME TO THIS VIEW, NOT BY IDEALISM, BUT BY WAY OF EXPERIENCE. NOT JUST THE EXPERIENCE OF MY UNLIKELY CAREER. SOMEONE LIKE ME, SERVING IN INDIANA. SERVING IN WASHINGTON. SERVING IN UNIFORM. 5:02 I AM THINKING OF SOMETHING MUCH MORE BASIC. AND THINKING OF DINNERTIME AT OUR HOUSE IN MICHIGAN. WHEN THE DOG IS BARKING AND THE AIR FRYER IS BEEPING AND THE MAC & CHEESE IS BOILING OVER. IT FEELS LIKE ALL THE POLITICAL NEGOTIATING EXPERIENCE OF THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH FOR ME TO GET OUR THREE-YEAR-OLD SON AND THREE-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER TO WASH THEIR HANDS AND SIT AT THE TABLE. IT IS A PART OF OUR DAY ONE POLITICS SEEMS THE MOST DISTANT. YET, THE MAKEUP OF OUR KITCHEN TABLE, THE EXISTENCE OF MY FAMILY, IS ONE EXAMPLE OF SOMETHING THAT WAS LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE AS RECENTLY AS 25 YEARS AGO. AN ANXIOUS TEENAGER GROWING UP IN INDIANA WONDERED IF HE WOULD EVER FIND BELONGING IN THIS WORLD? 6:04 THIS KIND OF LIFE WENT FROM IMPOSSIBLE TO POSSIBLE. FROM POSSIBLE TO REAL. FROM REAL TO ALMOST ORDINARY IN LESS THAN HALF A LIFETIME. BUT, THAT DID NOT JUST HAPPEN. IT WAS BROUGHT ABOUT THROUGH IDEALISM AND COURAGE. THROUGH ORGANIZING AND PERSUASION. AND, STORYTELLING. YES, THROUGH POLITICS. THE RIGHT KIND OF POLITICS. THE KIND OF POLITICS THAT CAN MAKE AN IMPOSSIBLE DREAM INTO AN EVERYDAY REALITY. I DO NOT PRESUME TO KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE IN YOUR KITCHEN. BUT I KNOW AS SHORT AS I AM STANDING HERE, EVERYTHING IN IT , THE BILLS YOU PAY AT THAT TABLE, THE SHAPE OF THE FAMILY THAT SITS THERE, THE FEARS AND THE DREAMS THAT YOU TALK ABOUT, 7:03 WAITS INTO THE NIGHT. ALL OF IT COMPELS US TO DEMAND MORE FROM POLITICS THAN A RERUN FROM SOME TV WRESTLING DEATH MATCH. SO THIS NOVEMBER, WE GET TO CHOOSE. WE GET TO CHOOSE OUR PRESIDENT. WE GET TO CHOOSE OUR POLICIES. MOST OF ALL, WE WILL CHOOSE A BETTER POLITICS. A POLITICS THAT CALLS US TO OUR BETTER SELVES AND OFFERS US A BETTER EVERY DAY. THAT IS WHAT KAMALA HARRIS AND TIM WALZ REPRESENTS. THAT IS WHAT DEMOCRATS REPRESENT. THAT IS WHAT AWAITS US WHEN AMERICA DECIDES TO END DONALD TRUMP'S POLITICS OF DARKNESS ONCE AND FOR ALL. THAT IS WHAT WE CHOOSE WHEN WE EMBRACE THE LEADERS WHO ARE OUT THERE BUILDING BRIDGES AND REJECT THE ONES WHO ARE OUT THERE BANNING BOOKS. 8:00 THIS IS WHAT WE WILL WORK FOR EVERY DAY. TO NOVEMBER AND BEYOND. LET'S GO WIN THIS. THANK YOU, DEMOCRATS!
