>> please welcome carrie washington. >> welcome to the final night of the democratic national convention. the past three nights have been extraordinary and tonight, we hear from our next president, kamala harris. as i stand here, i know that there are folks on social media already saying, go back to your tv show. set up and act, but i am not here tonight as an actor. i am here as a mother, as a daughter, as a proud union member.

i am here is the granddaughter of immigrants, as a black woman descended from enslaved people. i am here tonight because i am an american and because i am a voter and because we the people are stronger when all our voices are heard. i know that i am the one standing on this stage, but i am not the lead character in the story. you are. all of you. you are the messengers. you are the fixers. dare i say it, you are the olivia popes. you are the superheroes saving this democracy. it is you, not me, who have the greatest power to convince your loved ones to vote, so just like michelle obama told us,

let's do something. let's make a video. everybody take out your funds. we're going to make a moment. can somebody bring me my phone? i want to capture this historic moment and share it with the people that we love. forget to take this video, guys. were going to post it to social media, text your friends, send the text out into the world. when i say when we fight are going to say we win. we ready? you ready, tony? when we fight >> we win

>> when we fight >> we win. are you ready for kamala harris to win? good, because when kamala wins, america wins. we did it. we did it, joe. thank you, tony. you've got ago. >> by, everybody. >> tony baldwin, ladies and gentlemen. okay, so listen, it's come to my attention that there are some folks who struggle or pretend to struggle with the proper pronunciation of our future presidents name. so hear me out. confusion is understandable. disrespect is not.

so, tonight we are going to help everyone get it right. here to help me are some very special guests. thank you, ladies. can you tell us your names? >> hello, everybody. my name is amara. >> my name is lelah, her little sister. >> what are you going to do? >> were going to help you learn how to pronounce our aunties name. >> first you say, like a, in a sentence. >> then you say law like lala law. >> let's practice. >> everybody over hearsay,. >> everybody over hearsay law.

>> together. kamala for president. >> please welcome nina harris, ella and half, and helen hartline.

>> hi, i am nina. i am ella. >> i am helena. >> i grew up in oakland, california. in the house full of extraordinary women. >> my mom, my grandma, and my auntie, who showed me the meaning of service, helping her sister, a 17-year-old single mom fighting for justice for the american people and still cooking sunday family dinner. she guided me. now she is guiding my own children and i know she will guide our country forward. >> came into my life when i was 14, famously an easy time for a teenager. like a lot of young people i didn't always understand what i

was feeling but no matter what, kamala was there for me. she was patient, caring, and always took me seriously. she has never stopped listening to me and she's not going to stop listening to all of us. >> kamala harris is my godmother. to me, her advice means everything, whether it is pursuing my passions, taking an impact, or finding hope when the world doesn't feel so hopeful. she taught me that making a difference means giving your whole heart and taking action. >> she is fighting for economic opportunity, lgbtq+ equality, and reproductive freedom because we are not going back. >> she is fighting for social justice, health and justice, environmental justice, and she is not alone. we are all in this fight together. >> so, let's keep up the fight.

let's keep up the joy. >> let's elect this extraordinary woman is our next president! >> please welcome actor and comedian dl huguely. >> hey now, hey, chicago. how you all doing? what's happening, california? you know what? in three months ain't going to be no living with you all.

i can tell you this. i don't blame donald trump for not wanting to debate kamala. i've been married to a black woman for 40 years and i ate won one debate. i am 0-3000. now of course trump is saying that kamala is not black. i guarantee you this. kamala has been black a lot longer than trump has been a republican. and if you keep sliding in the polls the way he is, the only way to keep kamala out of the white house is if he buys it and refuses to rent it to her. of course, kamala is getting broad support. they have black men for,, white men for kamala, letting the nations for kamala and they even have republicans for kamala.

republicans for kamala. i guess donald trump will finally know what it's like when you get left for a younger woman. but seriously, kamala knows the truth about the american dream, that hard work alone is not enough to succeed, that you need access and information and opportunity, and she knows that some folks are denied those very things. as president, she will give each and every one of us a fair shot in life. but, i have to admit i did not always believe that. i mean, if you told me that 50- year-old me would be on stage supporting a prosecutor and a

teacher -- there is no way i would have believed you. but, because of that, i made assumptions about kamala's record and i often repeated them to a lot of people than one day kamala invited me to her house. she put her hand on my shoulder and she asked me to do some research, something i had never done. something a lot of people i know had never done before. imagine attacking someone's character without a single global -- google search. so i did what i should've done in the first place. i learned that she had done for us exactly what she promised to. i believe your apology should be allowed -- as loud as your accusation, and i am here apologizing in front of the whole world. i was wrong and i'm so very glad i was wrong because you

give me hope for a future for my grandchildren have the ability to control their own bodies, where they can go as far as the wits and talent will take them. that future is possible but only if we elect kamala harris as the 47th president of the united states of america. i will say this to you. the best piece of advice i've ever gotten in my entire life is you don't have to know what you will do, just know what you want, and we won't go back. >> the energy in this room is electric. and, you can feel it everywhere all over the country. in the coming weeks, i want us to find ways to maintain the synergy and this joy on this commitment

because there will be days when the work ahead seems impossible, and when that happens, i know what i do. i get involved. i get engaged. i ask myself, how can i be of service to my community because community is why we do this. am i right? yes. we do this for our children, for our parents, for our teacher and care workers who treat our loved ones like their own. we do this for working families to make this country thrive. we do this for the planet and for each other. we do this for justice and for peace and for democracy and as we are about to hear, we do this for the safety of our communities. >> please welcome genesee

county michigan sheriff chris swanson. >> my job is to protect people, all people. in 2020, righteous anger spilled over into the streets of flint, michigan. one bad decision from either side and there would have been bloodshed. but, that did not happen. we lay down our riot gear and we embrace the community and instead of hate, we chose hope. on january 6, the opposite occurred. that day was paved with division, deceit, and denigration. police officers were attacked that day. it could have been

stopped. we need a leader who will embody what is affixed to all three sides of my share of patrol cars. protect, serve, and unify. kamala harris is that leader. as a prosecutor, kamala harris protected us by putting violent criminals and offenders behind bars. if i was in a courtroom, she is exactly the tough prosecutor i would want to see. as vice president, she served america by keeping us safer and i can testify firsthand where i come from, crime is down in police funding is up.

as president, kamala harris will unify our country and bring us together because our country needs a leader who will go toe to toe with drug cartels and bullies. one who has already taken the oath, raised her right hand to advocate for the people. i can tell you in 2020, we were able to turn a protest into a peaceful movement by walking together. one city, one community, and one country. america, let's walk. let's walk. let's walk together and let's elect kamala harris. and, turn hate into hope yet again. thank you.

>> we were contemplating adopting and then out of nowhere , i got pregnant. >> joy was so much fun as a child. >> three of those rounds he aimed at jordan. jordan did not deserve to die that way. >> reports of an active shooter at a high school. >> these students have now lived through so many of the shootings, since they were born almost. >> we were praying and crying. >> active shooter added elementary school in uvalde, texas. >> most of the body so mutilated that only dna tests on the green converse could identify them. >> trumpeted nothing on guns and was proud of it.

>> there was great pressure on me. we did nothing. >> after a mass shooting in iowa, trump said -- [ inaudible ] >> you never get over it. kamala harris and joe biden refused to get over it. as dik-dik attorney she got illegal guns off the street. as attorney general, she took on trance national drug rings and stop gun trafficking. as vice president, she helped pass the most sweeping gun violence legislation in three decades, keeping guns out of the hands of criminals, expanding background checks, closing loopholes. >> we will finally pass red flag laws, universal background checks and in assault weapons ban. >> understands the fight you are in. >> the power is with the people. >> people like me, survivors like me hope.

>> please welcome georgia representative lucy mcbeth. >> when i worked for every town for gun safety and moms demand action for gun sense in america , i saw firsthand, the power of telling our stories. you've just heard mine. but, there are many more to tell. on december 14th, 2012, i walked into sandy hook school. i stopped at the office, chatted with my principal, then started my day with my second graders.

suddenly, a loud crash, like metal folding chairs falling. 154 gunshots blaring. hiding in the coats, trying to sing with my students, trying to read to them, trying to drown out the sounds -- terror, crying, running. i carry that horrific day with me. 20 beautiful first grade children and six of my beautiful colleagues were killed . they should still be here.

>> it is 10:30 a.m. at rob elementary in uvalde. the school is recognizing my 10- year-old daughter, lexi, for receiving all a's. she receives a good citizen award and we pose for photos. she wears a st. marys sweatshirt and a smile that lights up the room. 30 minutes later, a gunman murders her, 18 classmates, and two teachers. we are taken to a private room where police tell us she is not coming home. uvalde is national news. parents everywhere reach for their children. i reach out for the daughter i will never hold again.

>> my niece, sandy patrice, was 22. she drove to myrtle beach for sun and fun, and motorcycle parades. hours later, my phone rang. shooting on the beach. no one can find sandy. i stayed calm. you see, my mother, patricia ann, had been shot and killed by an abusive partner. i was called then, too. i got to handling business. i called relatives. the police. hospitals, and they kept calling

, voice steady, heart beat pulsing. then, i was connected. to the corner. 10 years of waiting, and sandy's murder is still unsolved. i will keep calling and i will keep fighting. g and i will keep fighting. >> i was in high school when my classmate got shot. it changed my story. instead of worrying about taking a test, i started worrying about living to take another test. they say schools are for learning, and i did learn a lot that day. i learned how to run, how to hide and drop. that what

happens in the news can happen to me and i learned something else, too. that we can write and must write a new story that we choose to. >> our stories of loss, but make no mistake, our losses do not weaken us. they strengthen our resolve. we will secure safer futures that we all deserve. we will organize. we will advocate. we will run for office.

and, we will join with americans from small towns and big cities to keep our communities safe. and, we will elect leaders like kamala harris, who won't just empathize, but will ask. -- act.

>> please welcome former arizona representative gabby giffords. >> hello, fellow americans. i am gabby giffords. i was born in the great state of arizona! i grew up racing

motorcycles, mucking stalls and exploring the beautiful desert. i fell for an astronaut. for five years, i served in congress from a swing district. everybody called me a rising star. then, on january 8th, a man tried to assassinate me. he shot 19 people. he killed six. terrible, terrible day. i almost died, but i thought for life and i survived. i learned to walk again, one step at a time. i learned to talk again, one word at a time.

so many people helped me as i worked hard to recover, including a decent man from delaware who always checked on me and he still does. thank you, joe biden! thank you for everything! joe is a great president. my friends, kamala will be a great president. she is tough. she has great. kamala can beat the gun lobby. she can fight gun trafficking. kamala stood up to wall street and the drug companies. she will protect abortion access. she will defend our freedom. she saves lives. join me in voting for kamala

harris! thank you! >> i had the honor of meeting vice president harris when i got to introduce her when she spoke at my high school about gun violence. >> parkland happened and all i could think about is that i wanted to keep my kids safe. >> i was asked in line to walk in the highland park independence day parade when gunshots erupted.

>> vice president harris has been a gun since champion since she was our california ag. >> we have two options in november. kamala harris, who has already proven her leadership in the biden-harris administration. meanwhile, donald trump has cozied up to the gun lobby. >> she's dedicated to and committed to finding a solution to and gun violence. >> please welcome three-time grammy-winning singer- songwriter and global pop icon, think. -- pink!

quick. this was just posted by president biden. as is jill and i just spoke to kamala harris. we cannot wait to watch her accept this historic nomination. kamala and tim will inspire a generation and lead us into the future. again, so that, you have seen a lot of references tonight to president biden, a lot of thanks expressed to president biden tonight but this idea that we are not there. we are not stepping on what your doing here but we are here for you. >> it's so nice. >> i know, you are losing it. >> all those mothers just undo me every time. >> i just found the same with the mothers talking about their kids. >> and then pink with her daughter. >> i know. >> look, politics is about finding issues where you are 60- 40 and you press the gd advantage and that is one of the

i have flown into combat nearly 40 times. not once did i do that by myself. it took a team to accomplish a mission. it always does. i flew in the navy during the first gulf war. america rallied our allies to kick out a tyrant who invaded a neighbor. today, vladimir putin is testing whether we are still that strong. i ran, north korea, and especially china watch closely. what is trump's answer?

he invited russia to do, and these are his words, not mine, whatever the hell they want. vice president harris is always championed america's support for nato, for ukraine. and, for the ukrainian people. on the senate intelligence committee, she investigated russian interference in our election. she defends free and fair elections everywhere. you already know how trump feels about those. donald trump skipped his intelligence briefings. he was to busy sucking up to

dictators and dreaming of becoming one himself. trump thinks that americans who have made the ultimate sacrifice our suckers and losers. if we fall for that again, and make him the commander in chief, the only suckers would be us. kamala harris knows that standing with our allies means standing up for americans. she will keep modernizing our milliner -- military and supporting our troops and support our veterans like our next vice president, tim walz. the world laughs at trump. literally.

but folks, it is not funny. when he was president, that meant the world was laughing at us. the threats we face are too serious. the sacrifices our servicemembers make are two sacred. the alliances we've spent decades building are two critical. that is what is at stake now. and, the choice isn't even close . but, in arizona and nationwide, this election will be. we will win in the same way we launch rockets into space, and land fighter jets on an aircraft carrier, as one team on one mission.

state-by-state, voter by voter coming together. no country. no country is better than ours at solving big problems. so, on november 5th, let's prove that america is still the leader the world needs today by electing the leader we need right now, kamala harris. thank you, everybody. thank you! >> please welcome former secretary of defense, leon panetta. >> my fellow americans, i'm proud to have served in the army

, the congress, the white house , chief of staff, cia director and secretary of defense. i have looked into the eyes of our warriors and deployed them in the battle. i gave the order directing our special operations forces to fly two helicopters 150 miles at night, and by the time the sun rose, osama bin laden was dead.

because nobody attacks our country and gets away with it, nobody. that is what our warriors do. that is what our warriors do. our warriors need a tough, coolheaded commander-in-chief. to defend our democracy from tyrants and terrorists. we need kamala harris behind the resolute desk. she knows. she knows a tyrant when she sees one. and, our allies know a leader when they see one. on the senate intelligence committee and as vice president , she worked with more than 150 world leaders. she has looked

our allies in the eye and said, america has your back. trump would abandon our allies and isolate america. we tried that in the 1930s. it was foolish and dangerous then, and it is foolish and dangerous now. listen to president reagan. president reagan. isolationism never was and never will be an acceptable response to tyrannical governments. never. trump tells tyrants like putin, they can do whatever the hell they want. kamala harris tells tyrants,

the hell you can. not on my watch. she has worked with president zelenskyy to fight back against russia. she knows that protecting their democracy protects our democracy, as well. donald trump does not understand the world, and he does not understand the service and sacrifice of our military. our fallen veterans are not suckers. they are not losers. they are our heroes! kamala harris will honor our veterans, and in tim walz, we will have a

vice president who has served in uniform honorably for 24 years. kamala harris understands this moment. it is a moment of danger and a moment of opportunity. she will keep america's military the strongest in the world, the strongest ever known, and she understands what our military is for. the role of our military is to defend us from foreign enemies. it is not to threaten americans, and it sure as hell is not to put immigrants in camps. every president since world war

ii, republican and democrat, has shared the belief that america must protect democracy in the world. every president has honored our veterans and their sacrifices. every president but one, but one. so, we face a critical choice. to vote for someone who stands with our military and stands up for democracy, or someone who will disrespect our heroes and undermine our democracy. my fellow americans, there is only one choice. one choice. and let me tell you something.

when she takes her oath of office, as she will this january , our allies will cheer. our enemies will fear, and we will have a commander-in-chief that we can trust. god bless our veterans and god bless our country. >> leon panetta giving a rousing national security speech for harris. as ruben gallegos takes the stage i should tell you, harris has arrived. she is in the building now at the united center in chicago. >> i am the proudest arizona and you will ever meet.

but, i am even prouder to be a marine. my mom raised us alone on a secretary's salary. i slept on the floor. i worked every job i could meat- packing, construction, making pizzas. i made it to harvard with no money or connections. other kids were happy because they were at harvard. i was happy because i finally had a mattress. then, i enlisted, fought alongside my brothers with lima 325 in iraq. they called us lucky lima, but our luck ran out. we saw some of the heaviest combat of the war and when we got home, the government failed to help us readjust. we have a duty to care for our

patriots who serve our nation. for the vietnam veteran in buckeye who relies on the va for his medication, for the veteran in pittsburgh and finally got treatment for his ptsd, for the marine in milwaukee relies on the benefits she earned, for my brothers and sisters who served in the marines with me, i remember you, too. kamala harris and tim walz are fighting for them. kamala harris has delivered more benefits to more veterans than ever before, and has achieved the lowest veterans unemployment rate in history. vice president harris has stood up for us, and our families always. tim walz served for 24 years. his passion for veterans earns

him respect on both sides of the island he stands with us, too. in fact, let me introduce you to some of the many democrats who understand what service means, because we put country over politics. we were proud to wear the uniform. we are proud serving our country's in city halls, state capitals, the u.s. house, and the senate. these veterans represent the best of our country. we stand united as veterans, democrats, and patriots to fight for everyone who served.

the politicians like donald trump, they don't stand with us. they call patriots like senator mccain losers. john mccain was an american hero . show some respect. trumps project 2025 will/veteran benefits and force va hospitals to close across the nation. show some respect. so, for the 18-year-old who decides to enlist, for the families like mine who pray every night that their loved one would come home, for troops stationed thousands of miles away, for my marines at lima company, selects kamala harris and tim walz, who don't just respect our service, but revere it. because, veterans who

defended this country are not just the reason we can sleep at night. they are the reason we can dream. and, together, together they will fight for our veterans and everyone who served our country. thank you! >> usa, usa. >> joined on stage by democratic officials. who were also veterans. good show and big surprise to the crowd and saying show some respect. we are about to hear from

michigan governor, a democratic superstar gretchen whitmer. >> you know, i think one of the most important things we just heard from leon panetta, we've had four days of celebration, inspiration, look toward the future in this message of joy but leon panetta reminded us what we have been talking about for months that democracy is at risk and the next president will be presiding over in america for we have allies -- here we are. i guess we are just waiting for gretchen whitmer but you know, just a really important time for us to hear from leon panetta and remind everyone yes we are having shows tonight and singers and dancers, but this is a crucially important election and so much is at risk. >> in lansing, they call me governor, but in detroit, they call me big gretch. donald trump called me that

woman from michigan. as an insult. being a woman from michigan is a badge of honor. like women across america, we just gsd. get stuff done. at 29, i joined the sandwich generation, sandwiched between working and raising my newborn and caring for my mom, who was dying from brain cancer. it was hard. but, not extraordinary. it's life. those nights reminded me who i was fighting for. people just trying to make it.

kamala harris knows who she is fighting for, too. she took care of her mom, who also battled cancer. as president, she will fight to lower the cost of healthcare and elder care for every family. she has lived a life like ours. she knows us. donald trump doesn't know you at all. you think he understands that when your car breaks down, you can't get to work? no. his first word was probably shofar. you think he has ever had to take items out of the cart before checking out? hell, you think he's ever been to a grocery store? that is what the shofar is for.

but, kamala harris, she gets us. she sees us. she is us. look, we have all lived through a lot of history over the past few years. floods and fires and an attempted coup, a plot and a pandemic. it is exhausting. we don't know what the next four years will bring, but what we do know is this. through it all, your life won't stop. you're going to have to get to work, pick up the kids, and pay your bills. and then, one day when you are just trying to get everyone out the door, a news alert goes off. something happened. something hit the fan.

you will ask, is my family going to be okay? and then, you will ask who the hell is in charge ? what if it's him? what if it's that man from mar- a-lago? i know in a crisis, we need someone strong enough to come up with a plan, to tell the truth, and to bring people together. right now, before the crisis, is when we get to choose. why wouldn't we choose the leader who is tough, tested, and a total bad ass.

i know who i want as our commander in chief. america, let's choose kamala harris. >> michigan governor gretchen whitmer, democratic favorite, a lot of people expecting her to be on the presidential ticket for the democratic party sometime soon. >> please welcome actor and philanthropist eva longoria. will >> hello chicago. yes. i am so excited to be here tonight. what an honor, to be a part of this historic moment. and y'all are part of it.

look, i have known kamala harris for more than a decade. and, she comes from a family a lot like mine, and i am sure, a lot like yours. we were both raised knowing that no one was going to hand us anything. especially as women. that we were going to have to touch every rung of the ladder to get ahead. we were going to have to work really hard. now, she worked at mcdonald's, but i worked at wendy's, and look at us now. you see, kamala and i were able to see beyond the horizon, because our families supported our big dreams. guess what. as americans, we are all part of one big family, amelia. and as for amelia, we have to have each other's back. we have to support each other's

dreams, because kamala's success is our success. she supports us, to dream big, too. so, let me tell you, in the latino community, in our community, we have a saying. it means yes we can. but tonight, i am here to tell you, she can. so, when someone asks you, is she ready to leave this country forward? we are going to say she. se puere. when somebody asks is she going to be the next female president of the united states we are going to say, she se puere. our voices and vote, we will decide the selection.

and let me tell you, the energy, tonight, isn't just here in chicago, it is all across the country. ro people are gathered at watch parties everywhere, to celebrate kamala harris. say hello. yes. all right. we know how to work, so let's get to work. let's turn all of this enthusiasm and joy into action, between now and november. let's go, she se puere. >> there are watch parties all around the country that we just sort of zoom around the stage, united center in chicago, the fourth night of the national

convention, or has been sort of a theme, republicans for harris, former congressman and combat veteran -- >> thank you. i'm adam kinzinger, and i am proud to be in the trenches with you, as a part of this sometimes awkward alliance that we have, to defend truth, to defend democracy, and decency. i was just a kid, when i was drawn to the party of ronald reagan, to his vision of a strong america, the shining city on a hill. i was a republican, for 12 years, in congress, and i still hold onto the label. i never thought i would be here, but listen, you never thought you would see me here, did you? but i've learned something about the democratic party. and, i want to let my fellow

republicans in on the secret. that democrats are as patriotic as us. they love this country, just as much as we do. and they are as eager to defend american values at home and abroad as we, conservatives, have ever been. i was relieved to discover that, because i have learned something about my party, to. something that i could not ignore. the republican party is no longer conservative. it has

switched allegiance from the principles that gave it purpose, to a man whose only purpose is himself. donald trump is a weak man, pretending to be strong. he is a small man, pretending to be big. he is a faithless man, pretending to be righteous. he is a perpetrator, cannot stop playing the victim. he puts on -- was in, he puts on quite a show, but there is no real strength there. as a conservative and a veteran, i believe that true strength lies in defending the vulnerable. it is in protecting your family. it is in standing up for our constitution, and our democracy.

that is the soul of being a conservative. it used to be the soul of being a republican, but donald trump has suffocated the soul of the republican party. this fundamental weakness has coursed through my party like an illness, sapping our strength, softening our spine, tipping us into a fever that has untethered us from our values. our democracy was frayed by the events of january 6th, as donald trump's deceit and dishonor led to a siege on the united states capital. that day, i stood witness to a profound sorrow. the desecration of our sake and tradition of peaceful transition of power, tarnished by a man too fragile, too vain, and to week to accept defeat.

how can a party claim to be patriotic, if it idolizes a man who tried to overthrow a feet free and fair election? how can a party claim to stand for liberty if it sees a fight for freedom in ukraine, and attack pitting tyranny against democracy, a challenge to everything our nation claims to be, and it retreats, it equivocates, it nominates a man who is weirdly obsessed with putin. and his running mate, who said, quote, i don't care what happens in ukraine. yet he wants to be vice president. yeah. how can a party claim to be conservative, when it tarnishes the gifts that our forebears fought for? men like my grandfather, who served in world war ii, who believed in a cause bigger than himself, and he risked his life for it behind enemy lines, to preserve american democracy.

his generation found the courage to face down armies. listen, all we are asked to do is to summon the courage to stand up to one week man. some have questioned why i have taken the stand that i have. the answer is simple, ladies and gentlemen. we must put country first. and tonight, as a republican speaking before you, i am putting our country first. because, the fact is, i do belong here. i know kamala harris shares my allegiance to the rule of law, the constitution, and to democracy, and she is dedicated to upholding all three, in

service to our country. whatever policies we disagree on pale in comparison with those of fundamental matters of principle, of decency, and of fidelity to this nation. listen, to my fellow republicans, if you still pledge allegiance to those principles, i suspect that you belong here, to. because, democracy knows no party. it is a living, breathing ideal which defines us as a nation. it is the bedrock that separates us from tyranny, and when that foundation is fractured, we must all stand together, united, to strengthen it.

if you think those principles are worth defending, then i urge you. make the right choice. vote for our bedrock values, and vote for kamala harris. god bless you. >> republican congressman adam kinzinger, speaking to republicans, talking about his own support for kamala harris and what you think republicans across the country ought to be supporting her as well. the next person to take the stage is the younger sister, the younger sibling of the democratic residential nominee, kamala harris. >> hello, chicago. in 1958, a 19-year-old from india left the only country she had ever known, to chart her own path in america.

she came here to pursue an education, but she stayed here to build a life. her name was dr. shamala gopalin harris. but we called her mommy. mommy was so many things, to so many people. a civil rights activist, a scientist, a devoted mother to her two little girls. but most of all, mommy was a trailblazer who defied the odds and defined herself. when it came to kamala and me, mommy had great expectations for us, but she had even greater expectations of us. she raised us to believe that we could be and do anything. and we believed her. you see, mommy understood the

power and the possibility that come with knowing and showing who you truly are. she knew that we could be the authors of our own stories, just as she had been the author of her own. mommy's journey, and the opportunity that she wanted for kamala and me, that is a does tanksley american story. we may all have different histories, different struggles, or different perspectives, but what binds us together is the fervent desire to be free, to fulfill our god-given potential. kamala's entire life has been about fighting for each of us to have that freedom. like so many americans, kamala knows

what it is like to be underestimated, to be counted out. she knows what it is like to be the underdog and still beat the odds. and now, she has created so much electricity, so much optimism, so much joy throughout the nation, and it is why we need her leadership in this historic moment. we are living in a time when some are trying to divide us, to separate us in ways that make it difficult for us to come together. look, my sister rejects that view. or others push darkness, kamala sees promise. were others feel detachment, kamala fosters a connection. were others want to drag us back to the past, my sister says

hold up, now, we are not going back. because, kamala understands we have so much more in common than what separates us. she knows the measure of our success is not just winning an election, it is about who we bring along and lift up in the process. and so, as i look out at all of you, today, and take in this incredible moment, i so wish that mommy could be here tonight . i can just see her, smiling, saying how proud she is of

kamala. and then, without missing a beat, she would say, that's enough, you got work to do. she would tell all of us to roll up our sleeves and get to work, to elect a leader who sees the potential in each of us. a leader who cares for all of us. a leader who fights for every one of us. our democratic nominee, my big sister, the next president of the united states, kamala harris. >> the younger sister of kamala

harris, now this is actually the last speech going to happen before the nominee herself take the stage but this is north carolina governor, former north carolina attorney general, roy cooper, a good friend of kamala harris. >> hello, america. i am roy cooper, the last guy standing between you and the moment we are all waiting for. so, i will get right to it. all week, you have heard stories about my friend, kamala. i am going to take you behind the scenes of one of them. 2011 was a rough time for american homeowners. hundreds of thousands were losing their home to illegal foreclosure. i was attorney general in north carolina, while kamala had just become california's. all the ag's looked at a

settlement with the big banks. it was a pretty good deal but it would have meant $4 million for california families who had been ripped off. i know that sounds like a lot, but kamala said, hang on a minute, i've met these families. i know what they've been through, and they deserve more. she went toe to toe with some of the world's most powerful executives, and she refused to give in. let me tell you, this was a huge risk, but she knew it was a risk worth taking. that is kamala, and we all know what happened. the banks caved. that for billion dollars for california families became 20 billion. that was the first time i have witnessed kamala in action.

and what i saw was a leader who does exactly what she says she is going to do. who will never settle for less. america, we got a lot of big fights ahead of us, and we have got one hell of a fighter ready to take them on. i know that, because i know her. and, tonight, i want the american people to know her. even if you don't agree with her on everything, kamala harris will fight for you, to the very end. for families who need better healthcare, or a safer place to live, kamala will fight for you. for parents who want their schools for their kids, for workers, worried about a secure retirement for themselves,

kamala will fight for you. for any of our allies, anywhere in the world wondering if america still has your back, remember this. kamala will fight for you. and when she fights, we win. kamala is ready. the question is, are we? are we going to stand up and fight for kamala, like she will stand up and fight for us? if you are ready, my home state of north carolina, stand up. standup, pennsylvania. standup, michigan. standup, wisconsin. standup, georgia. standup, nevada. standup, arizona. standup,

america. are we going to stand up? are we going to fight? are we going to vote? are we going to win? you bet we are. let's go get them. >> she grew up in a tightknit neighborhood. the kind of place where your first-grade teacher would show up to your law school graduation. that is were kamala harris learned what it means to be middle-class, making every paycheck count. she was raised by a working mom, who taught her about standing up for what is right, protecting the people you love.

>> kamala carries the lessons of our mother, the fighting spirit of our mother, the compassion. >> she was all of five foot tall but if you met her, you would have thought she was seven feet tall. and our mother, if i would ever come home complaining about anything, she wouldn't have it. the first thing she would say is, just stop complaining and tell me what you're going to do about it. >> since she was a young girl, kamala harris has been fighting for families like the ones she grew up with. >> that is kamala. she can't help herself. from standing up for people, and standing up for what she thinks is right. she has been that way our whole lives. being a protector is what led her to become a prosecutor. looking back now, i can say it was her calling. >> as a courtroom prosecutor, she went after predators who targeted women and children. and fraudsters who ripped off working families. she put dangerous gang members and human traffickers behind bars.

>> we didn't have partnerships with doj or fbi or dea, or any of those law-enforcement agencies. now, we all work collaboratively. she was the person who built the foundation of how we do criminal justice in america. >> as attorney general of california, she held the big wall street banks accountable for fraud. she took on one of the largest for-profit colleges that was scamming students. and in the senate, she fought for her constituents, and her determination to prosecute and stand up for reproductive freedom. >> can you think of any laws that give the power government the power to make decisions about the male body? >> i am not thinking of any right now, senator. >> she fought to keep our children safe from the terror of gun violence. >> how many of you guys had to have a drill where you learned

about how you need to hide in the closet or crouch in a corner in the event that there was a mass shooter. look at that. look at that. >> in the intelligence community, she defended our nation against foreign adversaries. and in 2020, sheena made history as the first woman to be elected vice president of the united states. she cast the tie-breaking vote to deliver urgent relief to the american people during the pandemic. she beat big farmer big pharma, to lower prescription drug costs , and led the fight to restore reproductive rights after roe v wade was overturned. >> we have worked too hard, and fought too long, to see our daughters grow up in a world fewer rights than our mother's. >> cause, she has never been afraid to stand up to powerful interests. >> sometimes people will open the door for you and leave it open. and sometimes, they won't. but then you need to kick that door down. excuse my language.

>> now, she is running for president, still fighting for families like the ones she grew up with. >> we are saying, we just want fairness, we want dignity for all people, and we are a work in progress. we have not yet quite reached all those ideals, but we will die trying, because we love our country. we believe in our country. we are not falling for these folks who are trying to divide us, trying to pull us apart. we know what we stand for, and we stand for the people. we stand for the dignity of work, and we stand for freedom. we stand for justice. we stand for equality. and so, we will fight for all of it. >> that is who kamala harris is, that is what she believes, and that is what she will fight for every day.

>> ♪ ♪ hey, i'm going to keep them running because a winner didn't quit on themselves. ♪ themselves. ♪ >> please welcome the democratic nominee for president, vice president of the united states of america, kamala harris.

>> good evening.

good evening, everyone. good evening. good evening. good evening, everyone. good evening. good evening. thank you. thank you. >> good evening. thank you. thank you. thank you. thank you, thank you. thank you. thank you. thank you all.

thank you, all. okay, we got to get is a business. okay. thank you all. okay. thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. thank you. thank you, please, thank you. please, thank you so very much. thank you everyone. thank you everyone. thank you. okay. let's get to business. let's get to business. all right. so, let me start by thanking my most incredible husband, doug. for being an incredible partner to me, an incredible father to call and ella, and happy anniversary, dougie. i love you so much.

>> to our president, joe biden, when i think about the path that we have traveled together, joe, i am filled with gratitude. your record is extraordinary, as history will show, and your character is inspiring, and doug and i love you and jill and are forever thankful to you both. and, to coach tim walz, you are going to be an incredible vice president. and to the delegates, and everyone who has put your faith in our campaign, your support is humbling. so, america, the path that led

me here in recent weeks was no doubt unexpected. but, i am no stranger to unlikely journeys. so, my mother, our mother, shamala harris had one of her own, and i miss her every day, and especially right now. and i know that she is looking down, smiling. i know that. so, my mother was 19 when she crossed the world alone, traveling from india to california, with an unshakable dream, to be the scientist who would cure breast cancer. when she finished school, she was supposed to return home, to a traditional arranged marriage. but, as fate would have it, she met my father, donald harris, a student from jamaica. they fell

in love and got married, and that act of self-determination made my sister emma meyer, and me. growing up, we moved a lot. i will always remember that big mayflower truck packed with all our belongings, ready to go, to illinois, to wisconsin, and whatever our parents just took us. my early memories of our parents, together, are very joyful ones. a home filled with laughter and music, aretha, coltrane and miles. at the park, my mother would say, stay close, but my father would say, as he smiled, run kamala run. don't be afraid, don't let anything stop you. from my

earliest years, he taught me to be fearless. but, the harmony between my parents did not last. when i was in elementary school, they split up, and it was mostly my mother who raised us. before she could finally afford to buy a home, she rented a small apartment in the east bay. in the bay, you either live in the hills, or the flatlands. we lived in the flats. a beautiful working-class neighborhood of firefighters, nurses, and construction workers , who all tended their lawns with pride. my mother worked long hours, and like many working parents, she leaned on a trusted circle

to help raise us. misses shelton, who ran the daycare below us, and became a second mother. uncle sherman, aunt mary, uncle freddie, auntie chris. none of them, family by blood, and all of them family by love. family who taught us how to make dumbo. how to play chess, and sometimes even let us when. family who loved us, who believed in us, and told us that we can be anything and do anything. they instilled in us, the values they personified. community. faith, and the importance of

treating others as you would want to be treated. with kindness. respect, and compassion. my mother was a brilliant five foot tall brown woman with an accent. and as the eldest child, i saw how the world would sometimes treat her. but my mother never lost her cool. she was tough, courageous, a trailblazer in the fight for women's health, and she taught maia and me a lesson that michelle mentioned the other night. she taught us to never complain about injustice, but to do something about it. to do something about it. that was my mother. and, she taught us -- she also

taught us never do anything half-assed. and that is a direct quote. a direct quote. i grew up immersed in the ideas of the civil rights movement. my parents had met at a civil rights gathering, and they made sure that we learned about civil rights leaders, including the lawyers like thurgood marshall and constance baker motley. those who battled in the courtroom, to make real the promise of america. so, at a young age, i decided i wanted to do that work. i wanted to be a lawyer. and when it came time to choose, the type of law that i would pursue, i reflected on a pivotal moment in my life. you see, when i was in high school, i started to notice something

about my best friend, wanda. she was sad at school. there were times when she didn't want to go home. so one day, i asked if everything was all right, and she confided in me, that she was being sexually abused by her stepfather. and i immediately told her she had to come stay with us, and she did. this is one of the reasons i became a prosecutor. to protect people like wanda, because i believe everyone has a right to safety, to dignity, and to justice. as a prosecutor, when i had a case, i charged it, not in the name of the victim, but in the name of the people. for a simple reason. in our system of justice, a harm against any one of us is a

harm against all of us. and, i would often explain this to console survivors of crime, to remind them, no one should be made to fight alone. we are all in this together. and every day, in the courtroom, i stood proudly before a judge, and i said five words. kamala harris, for the people. and to be clear, my entire career, i have only had one client, the people.

and so, on behalf of the people , on behalf of every american of any party, race, gender, or the language your grandmother speaks, on behalf of my mother, and everyone who has ever set out on their own unlikely journey. on behalf of americans like the people that i grew up with, people who work hard, chase their dreams, and look out for one another, on behalf of everyone whose story could only be written in the greatest nation on earth, i accept your nomination for president of the united states of america.

and with the selection, with this election, our nation has a precious, fleeting opportunity, to move past the bitterness, the cynicism, and divisive battles of the past, a chance to chart a new way forward. not as members of any one party, but as americans. and let me say, i know there are people of various political

views watching tonight, and i want you to know, i promise to be a president for all americans. you can always trust me to put country above party and self, to hold sacred americas fundamental principles, from the rule of law, to free and fair elections, to the peaceful transfer of power. i will be a president who unites us around our highest aspirations, a president who leads and listens , who is realistic, practical, and has common sense, and always fights for the american

people. from the courthouse, to the white house, that has been my wife's work. as a young courtroom prosecutor in oakland, california, i stood up for women and children, against predators who abuse them. as attorney general of california, i took on the big banks. delivered $20 billion from middle-class families who faced for closure, and helped pass a homeowner bill of rights, one of the first of its kind in the nation. i stood up for veterans, and students being scammed by big for-profit colleges. for workers who were being cheated out of their wages, the wages they were due, for

seniors facing elder abuse, i fought against the cartels who traffic in guns and drugs and human beings. who threaten the security of our border, and the safety of our communities. and i will tell you, these fights were not easy. and neither were the elections that put me in those offices. we were underestimated at practically every turn. but, we never gave up. because, the future is always worth fighting for. and that is the fight that we are in right now. a fight for america's future. my fellow americans, this election is not only the most

important of our lives. it is one of the most important in the life of our nation. in many ways, donald trump is an unserious man. but the consequences of putting donald trump back in the white house are extremely serious. consider, not only the chaos and calamity, when he was in office, but also, the gravity of what has happened since he lost the last election. donald trump tried to throw away your votes. when he failed, he sent an armed mob to the united states capital,

where they assaulted law- enforcement officers. when politicians in his own party begged him to call off the mob, and send help, he did the opposite. he fanned the flames, and now, for an entirely different set of crimes, he was found guilty of fraud by a jury of everyday americans, and separately found liable for committing sexual abuse. and consider what he intends to do if we give him power again. consider his explicit intent to set free violent extremists who assaulted those law-enforcement officers at the capital. his explicit intent to jail

journalists, political opponents, and anyone he sees as the enemy. his explicit intent to deploy our active duty military against our own citizens. consider the power he will have , especially after the united states supreme court just ruled that he would be immune from criminal prosecution. just imagine donald trump with no guardrails. and how he would use the immense powers of the presidency of the united states , not to improve your life, not to strengthen our national

security, but to serve the only client he has ever had. himself. and we know what a second trump term would look like. it is all laid out in projects 2025, written by his closest advisers, and the sum total is to pull our country back to the past. but america, we are not going back. we are not going back. we are not going back. we are not going back to when donald trump tried to cut social security and medicare. we are not going back to when he tried to get rid of the affordable care act, when insurance companies could deny

people with pre-existing conditions. we are not going to let him eliminate the department of education that funds our public schools. we are not going to let him and programs like head start, providing preschool and childcare for our children. america, we are not going back. and, we are charting a new way forward. forward. to a future with a strong and growing middle class, because we know a strong middle class has always been critical to america's success, and building that middle-class will be a defining goal of my presidency.

and i will tell you, this is personal for me. the middle class is where i come from. my mother kept a strict budget. we lived within our means, yet we wanted for little. and she expected us to make the most of the opportunities that were available to us, and to be grateful for them. because, as she taught us, opportunity is not available to everyone. that is why we will create what i call an opportunity economy, where everyone has the chance to compete, and a chance to succeed. whether you live in a rural area, a small town, or a

big city, and as president, i will bring together labor, and workers, and small business owners, and entrepreneurs, and american companies, to create jobs, to grow our economy, and to lower the cost of every day needs like healthcare and housing and groceries. we will provide access to capital for small business owners and entrepreneurs and founders, and we will end america's housing shortage, and protect social security, and medicare. now, compare that to donald trump. because, i think everyone here knows that he doesn't actually fight for the middle class. instead, he fights for himself and his billionaire friends. and he will give them another round of tax breaks that will add up to $5 trillion to the

national debt. and all the while, he intends to enact what, in effect, is a national sales tax, call it a trump tax, that would raise prices on middle-class families by almost $4000 per year. well, instead of a trump tax hike, we will pass a middle- class tax cut that will benefit more than 100 million americans. friends, i believe america cannot truly be prosperous, unless americans are fully able to make their own decisions about their own lives, especially on matters of heart and home. but, tonight, in

america, too many women are not able to make those decisions. and let's be clear about how we got here. donald trump hand-picked members of the united states supreme court to take away reproductive freedom. and now, he brags about it. in his words, quote, i did it and i am proud to have done it,". well, i will tell you, over the past two years, i have traveled across our country, and women have told me their stories. husbands and fathers have shared there's. stories of women miscarrying in a parking lot, developing sepsis, losing the ability to ever again have children, all because doctors

are afraid that they may go to jail for caring for their patients. couples just trying to grow their family, cut off in the middle of ivf treatments. children who have survived sexual assault potentially being forced to carry a pregnancy to term. this is what is happening in our country, because of donald trump. understand, he is not done. as a part of his agenda, he and his allies would limit access to birth control, band medication abortion, and an act a nationwide abortion ban with or without congress. and get this, he plans to create a national antiabortion coordinator, and force states to report on women's

miscarriages and abortions. simply put, they are out of their minds. and one must ask, why exactly is it that they don't trust women? well, we trust women. we trust women. and when congress passes a bill to restore reproductive freedom, as president of the united states i will proudly sign it into law. in this election, many other

fundamental freedoms are at stake. the freedom to live safe from gun violence in our schools, communities, and places of worship. the freedom to love who you love, openly, and with pride. the freedom to breathe clean air and drink clean water, and live free from the pollution that fueled the climate crisis. and, the freedom that unlocks all the others, the freedom to vote. with this election, we finally have the opportunity to pass the john lewis voting rights act, and the freedom to vote at. and let me be clear, after

decades in law enforcement, i know the importance of safety and security, especially at our border. last year, joe and i brought together democrats and conservative republicans, to write the strongest border bill in decades. the border patrol endorsed it, but donald trump believes a border deal would hurt his campaign, so he ordered his allies in congress to kill the deal. well, i refuse to play politics with our security, and here is my pledge to you. as president, i will bring back the bipartisan border security deal that he killed and i will sign it into law. i know that we can live up to our proud heritage as a nation of immigrants and reform our

broken immigration system. we can create an earned pathway to citizenship and secure our border. and america, we must also be steadfast in advancing our security and values abroad. as vice president, i have confronted threats to our security, negotiated with foreign leaders, strengthened our alliances, and engaged with our brave troops overseas. as commander in chief, i will ensure america always has the strongest, most lethal fighting force in the world. and i will fulfill our sacred obligation to care for our

troops and their families, and i will always honor, and never disparage, their service, and their sacrifice. i will make sure that we leave the world into the future on space and on artificial intelligence, that america, not china, wins the competition for the 21st century, and that we strengthen, not abdicate our global leadership. trump, on the other hand, threatened to abandon nato. he encouraged putin to invade our allies, said russia could, quote, do what ever the hell

they want . five days before russia attacked ukraine, i met with president zelenskyy to warn him about russia's plan to invade. i helped mobilize a global response over 50 countries, to defend against putin's aggression. and as president, i will stand strong with ukraine and our nato allies. with respect to the war in gaza, president biden and i are working around the clock, because now is the time to get a hostage deal and a cease-fire deal done. and let me be clear, i will always

stand up for israel's right to defend itself, and i will always ensure israel has the ability to defend itself, because the people of israel have never again faced the horror that a terrorist organization called hamas caused on october 7th. including unspeakable sexual violence, and the massacre of young people at a music festival. at the same time, what has happened in gaza over the past 10 months is devastating. so many innocent lives lost. desperate, hungry people fleeing for safety over and over again, the scale of suffering is heartbreaking.

president biden and i are working to end this war, such that israel is secure, the hostages are released, the suffering in gaza ends, and the palestinian people can realize their right to security, freedom, and self-determination. and know this, i will never hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to defend our forces and our interests against iran, and iran backed terrorists. i will not cozy up to tyrants and dictators like kim jong-un, who are rooting for trump. who are rooting for trump. because you know, they know he is easy to manipulate with flattery and favors. they know

trump will not hold autocrats accountable, because he wants to be an autocrat himself. and as president, i will never waver in defense of america's security and ideals, because in the enduring struggle between democracy and tyranny, i know where i stand and i know where the united states belongs. so, fellow americans, fellow americans. i love our country with all my heart. everywhere i go, in and

everyone i meet, i see a nation that is ready to move forward, ready for the next step in the incredible journey that is america. i see an america where we hold fast to the fearless belief that tilt our nation and inspired the world. that here, in this country, anything is possible. that nothing is out of reach. and america where we care for one another, look out for one another, and recognize that we have so much more in common than what separates us. that none of us, none of us has

to fail for all of us to succeed. and that in unity, there is strength. you know, our opponents in this race are out there, every day, denigrating america, talking about how terrible everything is . well, my mother had another lesson she used to teach. never let anyone tell you who you are, you show them who you are. america, let us show each other and the world who we are. and what we stand for. freedom, opportunity, compassion, dignity, fairness,

and endless possibilities. we are the heirs to the greatest democracy in the history of the world. and on behalf of our children, and our grandchildren, and all those who sacrificed so dearly for our freedom and liberty, we must be worthy of this moment. it is now our turn to do what generations before us have done. guided by optimism and faith, to fight for this country we love, to fight for the i deals that we cherish, and to uphold

the awesome responsibility that comes with the greatest privilege on earth. the privilege and pride of being an american. so, let's get out there, let's fight for it, let's get out there, let's vote for it. and together, let us right the next great chapter in the most extraordinary story ever told. thank you, god bless you, and god bless the united states of america. america.

>> vice president kamala harris accepting the democratic party's nomination for president of the united states. it is now our turn to do what generations before us for done, guided by optimism and faith to fight for this, country we lov to fight for the ideals we cherish, and to uphold the awesome responsibility that comes with the greatest privilege on earth -- the privilege and pride of being an american. >> the speech was so many things, and i think there was so many i incorrect analysis out there shely somehow had to pass thee commander in chief test. she's the sitting vice president. big effort from the biden-harris administration. i think what she did tonight is

disqualify donald trump from ever being commander in chief. she said this, fellow americans it's not only the most importanh election in our lives but the most important election in our nation. when you taken her o speech an take t some of the lines from t secretary of defense, leon panetta, who said every president since world war ii republican and democrat hasr shared the belief a president must protect democracies around the world. and you add adam kinzinger and congressman ruben gallego and their disrespect and disregard they were scathing, they were elevated onhi this biggest stag on american politics, and i think they closed the door in the mindsth of anyone watching donald trump ever passing.

>> i will ensure america has the strongest most h lethal fightin force in the world. i will fulfill our sacred obligation to care for our troops and their families. i will hawner and never disparage their honor h and sacrifice. that is something that should not beat an applause line in an speech. it should be an axiom, and yet the room erupted in that moment because of the contrast she's drawing. >> my experience listening to kamala harris began when tonight's host of the convention, carrie washington said to me would you like to meet the female obama to a century city law firm about i don't know 20 people listening tong the san francisco district attorney, and it's one of those

moments where it's clearly a once inme a lifetime moment. i was sitting there realizing i am seeing the first black woman president, no question about it. and what i saw that day was what she summarized when she said what we stand for toward the end of the speech -- she said what we stand for, freedom, opportunity, compassion, dignity, fairness. that was all in that room that day with about 20 people listening to her along with her strength,h her wisdom, and an ability that is describable as nothing other than star power. it's a hollywood phrase, but it's a real thing every once in a while where there's someone who, yes, has all the résumé stuff. and then there's this other thing, and it's that star powera and so what i have seen when people haveee thought she's nots good as they expectsh her to be what i was seeing was she's not in the right spot. she doesn't have her footing in

a way as vice president that you get v to have now as a presidential candidate. this is the person who i saw the first time i heard her speak. >> let's go to jacob soboroff on the floor in chicago, presumably buried in balloons but let's see. >> reporter: pretty close, rach 8. pretty close. the message from my vantage point, which is pretty close one, could not be any clearer. a harm against any one of us is a harmst against all of us. kamala harris for the people versusri the only client donald trump has ever had is himself. and it's pretty amazing. this is what kamala harris and herth family are seeing right n. take a look, and then take a look back this way. i want to give a look, look at the secret service agent, by the way, literally buried in balloons. it couldn'tns be a more differe atmosphere than a we had about month ago at the republican convention just down lake

michigan. it's an ecstatic environment here. that is one very big, happy family on that stage, you guys. >> alex, enjoy there on the convention floor. >> welcome to the balloonry. >> we got some. >> we got balloons, man. >> we got into the space. >> how was the speech in the room? how is it? >> big. can i say you guy cans see the flags, wehe talked a lot in the last couple days how democrats are trying to re-claim patriotism, i really feel like it culminated in this night. the gigantic flags. there's the dixie chicks singing the star-spangled banner and kamala harris making the argument that the true strength, the truenn integrity, the true patriotism lies in, the democratic party, and they have

opened the flaps of the tent to encompass republican, to encompass doubters, encompass people who felt culturally forced for decades. here we have one of the broadest, deepest coalitions i've ever seen, all all of them marching under thel stars and stripes. it's really something a else. this is the democratic convention. >> absolutely. and, you know, i think listening to that speech i was actually especially glads, even gladder than i was when i got down here that i was here with this lady because america s is, if anythi, it is a magnet. it is a magnet that no matter where you are in the world, whether you're in the congo, this is a lady who whose mom came all the way from asia. >> southeast asia where burma was once part of british india,

where kamala's mother was herself.'s and you, joy -- >> is literally like the physical embodiment of the ingredients that make kamala harris. the thing that draws my parents who came from distant coptinants, too, from africa and what you become here are majors. when i see her family that are brown and that are black and mixed, this amazing add mixture, and you look at tim walz's family, that is also part of the magnet. it's people from the t midwest d from the rust belt and from california and from anywhere. but no matter where you're from

whether you're adam kinzinger or nancy pelosi, you are america. >> and you're alsope part of th democratic party. >> and apparently you're part of the democratic party. >> or at least you're voting foa kamala harris. >> right. and the bottom line is what the democratic party has achieved, is they actually figured out a way to be an umbodiment as a party of what america is supposed to be. well-done, and i think she's umbodied that tonight. her speech t gave that. she said everywhere i go, everywhere i meet, i see a nation ready to move forward. >> i know our moms wherever they are very happy. iey know your asian mom, your mother are very happy not just because kamala harris is the nominee but we get to be in this special placemi together. >> i picture in my mind filipino and they're dancing right now.

>> i've been trying to get everyone to eat jerky all night and it's not fun. let me ask you about one line in vice president harris' speech. i want to get your take how it resonated in the room. for us it seemed like there was almost a gasp and a big response from the room. she said as part of his agenda, talking about trump, he and his allies would enact a nationwide abortion ban with or without congress. and get h this, he plans to cree a national anti-abortion coordinator and force states to report on women's miscarriages and abortions. simply put, she said, they are out of their minds. and it felt from here there was an eruption at that moment, but what was it like in chicago?

>> yeah, it definitely caused a collective gasp in this arena. it was a piece of information that i don't think i had really heard in that specificity before. and there's been a lot of project l 2025 talk. >> a lot but not with that specificity, and they have woven reproductive choice through every hour of this convention, but this is the first time kamala harris puts detail on it in that way. t and i think much like many peoplein watching at home, a lo of the audience in here had the idea that is the idea that is the kind of draconian level or orwellian policy being proposed by the trump administration. >> i'll threin that in addition to really focusing in on -- it's so interesting. women were soso present in this convention in a way they were absent in many ways in the republican national convention because they were really trying toon avoid the whole abortion conversation. but it isn't just on j reproductive rights. the idea of mom, of mommy, of

motherliness has really been woven throughout this campaign -- i mean this convention, whether it was michelleco obama talking about losing her mom and whether it was many of the women talking about the choice to be a mom, the choice to create families. and the way they describe family and mothers i think has been unique and interesting as well as the way they define manhood and masculinity. it's a really modern sort of conception of the family. i still can't get over tim walz's side. that moment is still sticking with so manyis people. but between that moment and this night hearing kamala harris and her sister maya talking about their mom, i definitely feel this is an embrace of mother hood by choice. whether it's a step mom or it's a blended family, but i feel like that's another subtheme in

this. >> there's a lot of kids that's been on stage tonight whether step nieces, god daughters, little s,kids, older kids, big kids, the idea of sort of generational inheritance and not just what kind of choice you have inki terms of having chirpr not but what kind of world leaving your children, i think has been a subtext. >> well,n, that, and the fact a the families you see here are so warm and loving and tactile, and very different than what you sat at the rnc where it felt more sort of clinical and -- >> that's being generous, i would say. i'm not sure i would call what i saw a family. i mean they have the same last name, but there's a lot of distance between the members. >> it felt cold and it feltary. that convention felt constantly just talking about threat and

kick out all the immigrants and deport them alld now. this convention felt like a party, a family reunion. and f the family reunion has th led to balloons, many, many balloons. >> thousands of balloons. >> no barbecue. like, no barbecue. >> thinking about the national security focus we saw emerge tonight including leon panetta talking about the focus on immigrants and the mass deportations now. having leon panetta say the united states military is for defeating our foreign enemies, defeating foreign threats, it is not to threaten the american people, and it is not to round up or mass incarcerate immigrants. i mean i'm paraphrasing exactly what he said. an axiomatic assertion, almost a dictionary definition.

>> it's important because even though we all know, this, this is the biggest moment to remind the m american public of this, d this is ultimately an election.e where she is running against donald trump this was joyful, it was full of love. people watching has been like where has that amazing person been the last couple of years? but the national security piece is ana reminder to the people watching about what's at stake and what the norms are. and that's part of why there's this big coalition of current republicans, former republicans, people who don't normally come to these things before, sheriffs, and it's not the norm. we should have a different expectation what the norms is. >> one oof the norms she identified so clearly she said

that in the enduring struggle between democracy and tyranny, i know where i stand and where the united states of america belongs. now, when we show the video of her saying that, the power in which she delivered those lines, the perfection in there pacing those lines. and carl rove was onto this in 2010. he desperately wanted to stop her career at san francisco d.a. when she started running state-wide for attorney generalr now, the republican party does not invest a lot of money in statewide runs for attorney in california. but they did this time. they desperately tried to stop her at that spot. and they came close. she won by a very small margin for democrats statewide. this one can go all the way. let's stop her right now. >>op but the public hadn't really -- t i mean the public h not seen. she has this magical, charismatic personality and perp. so do ais lot of politician. people say that about hillary clinton. also true.

the public has t to see it in order to get elected. and tonight over the last cup of weeks she showed the public ub that. >>li when you said i saw the te messages -- >> well, that was fierced how she delivered that. this line in the speech where she said never let anyone tell you who you are, you show them who you are. it was also about a bigger message but also about her. that's what she presented tonight and has over the last fewt weeks. >> she also at the most basic level, at the most basic like brain stem aesthetic, she looks like the president of the united states. it was like watching a movie -- sometimes we watch movies where there's like a woman president. and i'm watching the reality of the way she talked, the way she held the room, the command, the vocal quality, the pacing, the cadence, the specificity, the authority, all these things

extremely difficult to pull off, it's like watching someone on the balance beam and the top shot at the balance beam and it's like 2la inches wide, and you're like, whoa, that is way, way, way more difficult than it looks. and she did it flawlessly and effortlessly. that was job number one. job number one tonight was i can be president. i was also reminded of michelle obama's speech because i was thinking where we were a month ago, and think for a second if kamala harris had gotten up and just winged it for an hour and 37 minutes, had she just done like a mar-a-lago late night dish sess, it would be over. and we don't get a second chance, we don't get that sort of charity. we have to execute perfectly every time. i know what that's like, and she executed perfectly. >> chris, your point about the

way she feels the part, you're talking about in casting terms, right? and that is not so coincidently why she was recognized this way in hollywood right away. >> i will not cozy up to tirupts and dictators like kim jong-un who are rooting for trump. she reiterated they are rooting for trump because they know he is easy to manipulate with flattery and favors. they know trump won't hold autocrats accountable because he wants to be an autocrat. i have to say that little piece of analysis is something that almost never gets articulated that way. instead it gets articulated as something unbecoming. the way i spell it is he wants to be an autocrat. then the line yousiled out, lawrence. as president i will never waver in l america's securities and ideals. in theur enduring struggle i kn

where i stand -- i know where i i stand and where the united states of america belongs, saying we as majors have inherited a global responsibility to be on the side of sidemocracy and against tyranny, andcy we have been tak out of that position by this former president, who is trying to put us back on the side of autocrats. i will never do that, and i will putan us back where we belong a americans. and if that'sg where you -- an american hearing the sound of my voice believes that's where we should be, then you're with me. >> just to draw a contrast tonight, what was donald trump doing? he was social media posting where's hunter? and, no, tim walz wasn't coach. he was w assistant coach. it's devastating when you look at d that. people say was this speech perfect? s look at who she's running against. darkness and nnfear, optimism a

light. that's what she offered tonight not justat optimism and light b real policy for the country. >> i really love on that point you made, rachel. i love the liep about the greatest privilege being americanab because i think thers something really subtle and nuanced and smart about that.ou it is full throatedly patriotic. i believe that 100%, but it comes with the notion of -- people haveth attacked this liberal notion of priv l, but it's a great privilege to be an american. it's thege greatest privilege. we all won the natural lottery. it forces you to recognize the fact we all who have been born here have been handed this thing that we have something to do with, and i love, love, love that. >> we hold the awesome responsibility that comes with -- >> aco lot of people watching

think she's already doing all these things. the national security level she's a safe bet. she honors alliances. and it really is there's some serendipity she has this large role, that she ise the one tha went over and spoke to zelenskyy and handled the hostage release. and sort of to lawrence's point, she was already ready to do the job.to i think the other strategic piece that she sort of closed to door on is pushing trump way out of the mainstream and kinzinger helped and main stream veterans --st i have to say we kind of looked at the run-down and we were like how do these pieces fit together? and they wereec pushing him outf the main stream of u.s. foreign policy, the main stream of any past commander in chief that has ever held that office in theracee of the country, not just a republican out of the

main stream but any person who's ever had the privilege of being commander in chief. and kinzinger comes out and pushes himr way out of the mai stream ofay his own party and ss the only patriotic thing to do isic vote for kamala harris. >> the language you've been reading is sogu beautifully simple. there's not a high school kid in america who wouldn't understand every single thing she said. and i've never heard a democratic speech in this setting that isin as simple as that. there's always something that gets a little bit jargony, a little bit into you've got to know things about the federal government to understand thatng sentence. the clarity of it and her delivery of it absolutely flawless, making it even more clear -- she said repeatedly let me be clear, and afterwards she was clear. and when a you think about dona trump who gets questioned by reporters and never answers the questions and has never been clear about a single issue ever

except his desire to raise taxes onai everyone through tariffs, that guy is never clear. there she was beingr flawlessl clear all the way through on every policy she was describing. >> but the clearest thing was her assignment because she ends by s telling america let's get t there and fight for it. and what you said, nicole, we know that she's already doing all this. what we needed in these four days was theed reminder that sh is because people often forget what she's doing. people don't think about the vp, so over these last four days we're reminded all the places she's been, all the things she's done. and people will say we want this and more, and they will say wha in the world is donald trump doing? because he hasn't articulated any clear message. >> my second sports analogy in my entire career at this desk, i think we're seeing the backup quarterback becoming the starting quarterback. when you're the backup quarterback and run three plays a regame, we don't really know

what you can do, but you're an nfl utquarterback, right? so maybe -- and now here she is, she's the starting quarterback. >> chris, i want to thank you also for the reminder about what ther parallel speech was at th rnc. actually, i had blocked it out but for 90 whatever minutes talking about hanibel lector and sharks -- i mean it wasn't sharks that night but just the random stuff rifting on what popped into his mind at the moment and contrast that to what you just saw. >> when jacob was saying this is totally different ending and i was like what is he talking about? there was a celebration, but not at the end. because at the end of the rnc people were exhausted, and those last 15 minutes people were kind of backing up, like is he going to notice i'm leaving? so when those balloons came down, people were like i'm out of here. the celebration h was in the hu

hogan hour, not in the donald trump hour. >> speaking of h the celebratioi do believe the aforementioned jacob soboroff is in the midst of the scrum. what's happening? >> well, the minnesota delegation never stopped going off after last night and they're behind me. i met this lovely group of women both friends and family from all over the country. >> from cincinnati. >> you guys all got the memo, dressed in whitee tonight. historicey and there's no other way to describe it. how did ity feel to be here? >> unbelievable. i'm still amazed. i'm still amazed just to be here, to be able to witness, she's goinge to be the next president of the united states. >> reporter: you sound convinced of that. >> i am convinced of that. >> reporter: how do you feel? >> electrifying, this was the

best experience ever. >> reporter: you've e got a hig watt smile on that face. >> yes. and she will be president of the united states. >> reporter: what stuck out to you the most what vice president harris had to say?nt >> she has a plan for us to move forward, a plan for us all. middle class, poor, rich, we arr going to be included in the americaned dream. first time i can think of that happening in a long, long time. >> reporter: with your friends and family here? >>mi absolutely, absolutely. >> reporter: it's so nice to meet all ofor you. i a appreciate it. i love you guys, too. come with me. let's go see the minnesota delegation one more time because they were so welcoming the other night. honestly, i can't get in there. it's too hard. >> you've set the stage and now everybody's like, oh, god, we've got to beat jacob there, we'll never get out.ne see what you can do to crawl under some chairs or something.

of course he actually orwill, problem.e and then he'll hurt himself and i'll get blame, i'll feel terrible. simone sanders, what did you think? >> i thought the entire week built to this moment that we saw tonight with vice president harris, and she had a lot she had to do in this speech because this is the largest audience she is going to have before election day. and a month ago she wasn't the democratic nominee. so people -- i mean if you talk to voters out there, they say, i don't really know much about her tomu the point steph was making. all week she was contextualized and humanized by people who know her so well. look at jacob soboroff. make it happen, jacob. she literally had to ensure she herself told her own story because there's no substitute to her telling her story about her family, her mother, and father. you heard about donald harris

tonight and about her sister. look at the happiness. the people are just so excited, and i think that is what -- my text messages were blowing up because people said she is hitting the marks, our story is her story.he she did so on behalf of all the people whose story she was telling, and that is uniquely an american tale, very, very important. >> jacob, blink twice if you need help. >> reporter: get me out of here. >> the thing is jacob has spent so much time with these people i recognize them now. >> rachel, i gave them all my phone number, and they're all coming over later. >>ng jacob soboroff broadcastin from minneapolis. this is what you're going to be brought home to. well-done, my friend. well-done.

ari, we haven't asked you yet what you thought of the speech. what was your take? >> for years we've known her as vice president. america got to meet her for the role she actually played most of her career she said representing the people, it was a home run of theas speech. and whatru we heard was her giv the opening statement -- >> i knew you were going to say that. >> here's who i am, where i come from. then she made the case and as some of our experts said more directly, more bluntly against trump that we've heard throughout, this is joyous convention. shes hit them hard, note legal she spokeot about january 6th, democracy, fraud. she also made a point to say something that's legally true, that he has been found legally liable fornd sexual abuse. that is something that fewer people have saidth from the mai

stage. that, again, is the kamala harris we know from being a tough prosecutor. she's the right person to say it. and then, third, we got the closing argument, and that broadened back out to we could do this together, i'm proud to be american, we're not going back, which we heard before. so we got in each of those chapters what you would get in the courtroom, and she's good at it. >> can i say one other point? which is if you've heard her before, some of it sounded familiar, but this had to be done in this way because most people atn home are not watchi as closely as we are. they have not heard her, so there was stuff that harkened baic to things she said in the first presidential campaign, if you lookpa up speeches and thin she'd given in the united states senate,n this was a speech tha pulled from everysial piece of herm career, all she had lost until this moment. and i will say she also wasn't wearing white. there were lots of folks wearing

white tonight for fannie lou hamer, this famoment, this history. vice president harris is not someone enamored with the history she could potentially make. to me her choice of what to wear tonight also said that i am about myal business and that there's still work that needs tt be done, and we're going to wear the white if we win. >> what's interesting when you look at the whole speech, it's like as she goes through it, she responds to her critic, right? so when you're hearing her background to your point you say i heard that, she walks you through national security, foreign policy. and when she takes you back to january 6th the critic saying that's e history, and then she takes youd forward and we wille guided by optimism and faith, and we're going to fight for it. soht those people are leaving t room with an assignment what they're going to do next as opposed to the rnc. the rnc was basically like an

inaugurationca celebration. they were likegu we won this, w got this, let's go home. we're in charge now. people didn't leave the rnc with anpe assignment. they left the rnc with, well, like we got it now. everyone who's watched or participated, my phone is filled tonight with people, saying i charged up, let's go do this thing. and we heard this assignment from michelle obama, oprah winfrey and vice president harris tonight. >> the number of people looping back to michelle obama's speech saying do something, as michelle obama said do something, do something, that's not the tag liep they intended for the convention, but itnd landed. that speech was such a knock tout, and it landed at her sort of insistent call or response moment in that speech. that actually is a great thing for people to be able to take away with them as they go home. >> awtoliar on what you said, i think it's pretty wild to think about, right? we saw the way barack obama extremely deftly navigated i meanly at a level that will be

written about for a hundred years to become the first black president. they said it couldn'te be done it's like okay we get it, then there was nothing in the speech tonight -- if i'm not mistaken, nothing, not one word, not one illusion, not a hint, not anything about the epic history that would be made by kamala harris being presidente of the united states, not a wisp of it. >> very smart. >> and even more than obama who was much more wink, wink, nudge, nudge about it. this was about my business, this was none of it. >> i don't want to put words in your mouth but what you're saying is everyone can wear white ander looking back on history and everything, but the way we're goingd to make histo is by me becoming president, and i'm going to show you i can be president by the fact i

basically am already president in some ways. i'm vice president, i'm doing the work.ce i'm going to make this as easy as possible for you to imagine because i'm already living and doing it. >> rachel is my translator. that is exactly it. let's just put a finer point on it. p for this current party apparatus the culture wars are not just the distraction, they are the play book. and so donald trump and j.d. vance, they would love nothing more than the vice president to stand on that stage and say elect mean because you will mak history. she's not saying that. she's sayings elect me for all these other reasons. ehectme because i'm decent, i'll fight for you, because i know what needs to be done, i'll respect d america. she's basisically saying elect me because i'm a patriot and the other guy is not. >> we're not having this outward you go girl moment, but all of a sudden when we least expect it we're saying, oh, my gosh, our sons and daughters might live iu an american where the president before them is a woman, a black woman. >> andan the way she got into

office is by putting an end to the political career of donald trump wholi was the first president in american history ande tried to overturn democra. and there's a person who ended it andpe her name is kamala harris. i'm going to interrupt myself because governor wes moore of maryland is in chicago. >> can i just say i can't imagine twoan better people to sitting here. wes, governor, one of the things the vice president talked about tonight thatde really struck me was this notion of family not by blood but by love, and it really feels like joy and i have been talking about a family reunion here, and what has it been like to be in this democratic family? >> its has been so beautiful because you see not only is there so much joy we're feeling rightwe here, an excitement, bu also there's an eagerness to work. like everybody's having a good h time, but you know what everyone is ready to do?

everyone is ready to go home and get to work. everybody already has the 15 people they're going to contact who are going to contact the ten people they have to contact as well. so it's like we're leaving here with orders, you know what i mean? and that actually feels really good. >> but loving orders. >> loving and like this is what we're goingke to do. respectfully but this is what we're going to need you to do in order to make this happen. let's be clear people are on a mission. >> they want toon get invited bk to the next family reunion, they've got work to do. >> theria go. >> we've been talk a lot about the way that everyone, i guess, in this convention has preconceived kind of theti ideaf family and how it's graded. the idea of masculinity, the idea of mother hood. that's been a huge theme here, and you have done something like that in maryland. but you don't separate -- you don't feel the need to sort of portray something artificial.

you're like willing to let us into the family. that feels like a new kind of politics that actuallynd seems resonate inside the democratic party. and a lotre of people are doing that. that seems toeo be the new way e democratic party is operating. >> and honestly, it's authenticity. it's that people want people to be themselves. and listen, our lives are r complicated, our families are complicated. there's nothing clean or easy. i tell the story and it's true, i had to convince members of my family to vote for me. you know what i mean? but it's like not that my family and i aren't cool, it's that i actually had to convince them to vote. you know what i mean? our families are complicated, and that's okay. we love them all a the same, an we fight for them all the same. i think that's the f message coming out of here. this facade oftentimes people want to think about what is america and what does america symbolize, and who is worth

fighting for and who is not worth fighting for, and who are the deserving and who are the undeserving, who are basicallye saying,rv guys, we are complicated, and a we're all woh fighting for, so let's not forget that. >> setting your family and the tough sell aside, what has so animated the democratic caucus and the democratic party for so long is the sort of negative incentive, right? like donald trump is this loomingis existential force tha could destroy american democracy,d and certainly that was very much part of the vice president's remarks tonight. but there's also this extraordinary turn the party's made towards positive incentivizing, right? like everything's changed in terms of the general emotional dynamic of the this race. it was like you have to vote because everything is over otherwise. buto be now it's like you have vote because what awaits you on the other side is joy in the morning.he as reverend sharpton said over and over again joyar in the morning and joy in thein evenin as well. you know what i mean?

that's a very interesting change inside theat party. >> i remember in our gubernatorial race, i was running against an election denier. i was e running against a donal trump endorsed, joe biden is not the legit president. when we were on the trail i wasn't talking about how backward and absurd his policies were. i was spending my time saying, guys, if we can get this election geright, imagine what can do? it's basically saying let's move towards our dreams instead of just being afraid of our nightmares. let's actually sleep easy. i would rather sleep easy if i'm looking forward to my dreams than i'm just hoping not to have a nightmare, and that's what we'ree, asking the american peoe to do right now. >> governor wes moore of maryland, one of the extraordinary voices in thisma really iy mean just convocatio of extraordinary voices. and can you guys see the stars and hearts shooting off his

face -- >> it's the avengers. the democrats have assemblied the avengers. governor, thank you for spending a little time with us. thank you for everything you're doing for the party. back to you in new york. >> i will say if kamala harris and tim walz are elected, i'm looking forward to the introduction of the cabinet. i'm justto going to say that rit now. >> marylanders are like stay away from our governor. don't even talk about it, don't thinkt about it. marylanders are like no. >> clip and save, that's all i'm saying. i will collect later on this. all right, you will remember where you were when you heard this speech tonight from the vice president of the united states. kamala harris really introducing herself tore the nation, speaki as much to republicans and independents as she was to the democrats who weree nominating her tonight, asking americans tm remember how great their country is andat to fight for its value.

you're going to remember where you were on thisng night. this an inflection point in history. our coverage continues after this. stay withouon us here on msnbc. >> our opponents in this race are outen there every day denigrating america, talking about howa, terrible everything is. well, my mother had another lesson she used to teach. never let anyone tell you who you are. you show them who you are.
