gentleman doug imhoff and we have seen a string of democratic stars among them the influential new york congresswoman alexandra ocasio—cortez. these are live pictures from the convention at the moment. we are seeing senator raphael warnock speaking and we are expecting the presidentjoe biden to make the presidentjoe biden to make the very last speech of the night. this is not the way you would have imagined this convention playing out, potentially somewhat of is sweet for him as he will be passing the baton officially to kamala harris and we can talk about all of this again with my guests stephanie murphy and rodney davis here, as we watch these pictures. raphael warnock speaking. i want to get up in a conversation we were having just before the break because we didn't get to finish the conversation. i will start with you, rodney, because we were talking about about president trump's agenda and project 2025, for those that are not familiar with it, again, 2025, for those that are not familiarwith it, again, a conservative agenda drawn up by the heritage foundation, a

conservative and former president trump says he has nothing to do with it but it is something we have heard a few speakers pick up on and democrats really have honed in on project 2025 will take us into the past.— on project 2025 will take us into the past. what you think of it? look — into the past. what you think of it? look at _ into the past. what you think of it? look at the _ into the past. what you think of it? look at the speakers . into the past. what you thinkl of it? look at the speakers we have had tonight was not hillary clinton, nothing but the past. the bottom line is this is a think tank that put a paper together and now the democrats have seized on it because they think it will be a bogeyman for all the bad things they think will happen under a trump administration, calling him a dictator. the federal government itself needs to be more responsive to whomever wins the presidency, republican or democrat. it should not be a threat to democracy and you are a bureaucrat working in a federal agency where you can then stand up and be a whistleblower just then stand up and be a whistleblowerjust because then stand up and be a whistleblower just because you disagree with somebody politically, but the bottom line is, you've got democrats hiring people like michael lye

doesn't listen to anybody according to the democrats, is going to listen to this think tank who put this paper together. mike democrats need together. mike democrats need to be concerned. are they setting the standard? then they are going to have to answer to how much influence a guy like marc elias... i how much influence a guy like marc elias. . ._ marc elias... i hate to see misinformation _ marc elias... i hate to see misinformation bleeding l marc elias... i hate to see i misinformation bleeding into our audiences of this is a part of a _ our audiences of this is a part of a discourse here in the united _ of a discourse here in the united states. this dossier, we don't _ united states. this dossier, we don't have _ united states. this dossier, we don't have to litigated for this— don't have to litigated for this poor audience but what i will say— this poor audience but what i will say is _ this poor audience but what i will say is whether or not donald _ will say is whether or not donald trump is an training —— projecl — donald trump is an training —— project 2025 it holds a little bit of — project 2025 it holds a little bit of the policies that administration —— at trump

the decisions we make now will determine the fate of our nation and the world. for decades to come, that is not hyperbole, i mean it literally. we are in a battle for the very soul of america. i ran for president in 2020 because of what i saw in charlottesville. in august of 2017. extremists coming out of the woods, carrying torches. their vans bulging from their next, carrying nazi swastikas and chanting the same exact anti—semitic bile that was heard in germany in the early 30s. neo—nazis, white supremacist, the ku klux klan, so emboldened by a president than in the white house that they saw as an ally. they didn't even bother to wear

their hoods. hate was on the march in america. 0ld ghosts and new garments. storing up the oldest divisions, stoking the oldest divisions, stoking the oldest divisions, stoking the oldest fears, giving oxygen to the oldest forces but they long sought to tear apart america. and the process a young woman was killed and i asked her mother about what happened, she told me, when the president was asked what he thought had happened, donald trump said," there are very fine people on both sides. " my god! that's what he said and what he meant! that is when i realised, i could not stand on

the sidelines. so i ran. i had no intention of running again, ijust lost part of my soul. but i ran with a deep conviction. in america, i know and believe, in america where honesty, dignity, decency, still matter. in america where everyone has a fair shot and hate is no safe harbour! cheering and applause. in cheering and applause. i�*l america where the cheering and applause. i�*i america where the fundamental freedom of this nation, that all of us are created equal, is still very much alive. and a broad coalition of americans join with me, 81 million voters

voted for us. because of all of you in this room and others, we came together in 2020 to save democracy. as your president, i have been determined to keep america moving forward. not going back. to stand against hate and violence in all its forms. to be a nation where we not only live with them, thrive on diversity. demonising no—one, leaving no—one behind. and becoming a nation that we profess to be. i also ran... to rebuild the backbone of america. the middle class. cheering and applause. i

we've gone from economic crisis of the strongest economy in the entire world. record 16 million newjobs, record small business growth, record high stock market, record high 401(k), wages up and inflation way down and continuing to go down. the smallest racial wealth gap in 20 years. and yes, we both know we have more to do. but we are moving in the right direction. more americans have peace of mind that comes from having health insurance. more americans have health insurance today than ever before in american history. today than ever before in american histo . 7 �* 7 american history. cheering and applause _ american history. cheering and applause. and _ american history. cheering and applause. and after, _ american history. cheering and applause. and after, as - american history. cheering and applause. and after, as a - american history. cheering and applause. and after, as a young senator beginning _

bursaries by $900. over $50 billion worth of them. including hispanic institutions and bible colleges. we kept our commitment to provide student relief than ever by lifting the burden of helping millions of families so they can get married, start a family and buy a home and begin to build family wealth and contribute to the community and grow the economy. it is not costing us, it is creating more wealth. we have fundamentally transferred, transformed our economic growth from the middle aisle and the bottom—up instead of the top—down stop you know... my dad used to say there was not a lot to drop down on my kitchen table at the end of the month. i come from a basic
