1:08 am
11th. so here's the thing, here's the thing. since the day that i announced my candidacy, i set out to find a partner who can help build this brighter future the only the united nation and move us forward. a fighter for the middle class, a patriot, who believes as i do in the extraordinary promise of america, the problem is freedom opportunity and just just not just for some but for all
1:09 am
the pennsylvania i'm here today because i found such a leave of the, the, the to those who know him best to those, you know, invest him is, is more than a governor to his wife when he has a husband to his kids. pope and gus, he has a dad to his fellow veterans. he is,
1:10 am
sergeant major was the, he did, it'd be blue, southern minnesota for 12 years. he was congressmen to his former high school students. he was mr. well, the former high school football players, he was codes the and in 91 days, the vice president of
1:11 am
the america, the samples they just getting to know coach well, so story and i'll tell you he is the proud products of a middle class family. enroll nebraska, he is a veteran who served our nation in uniform for moreland and he went to college on the g. i. bill. he is someone who long before he entered politics, worked as a teacher,
1:12 am
the queen and his wife. when moved from his nathan nebraska to minnesota nearly 30 years ago, they both took jobs at the local high school coach was todd social studies. when taught england, the tim was the linebackers coach for the football team. were stories about you had a neck for using the game of football to teach life lessons. he saw the potential in kids sometimes didn't even see it in themselves.
1:13 am
the under those friday night like co to motivated his players to believe they could achieve anything. and together they just 5 the odds here this. so going from a window list record to the schools 1st. every state championship the and i'll say no ad tim was that only a role model on the football field around the same time coach was, was approached by
1:14 am
a student in his social studies class. the young man was one of the 1st openly gay students at the school and was hoping to start a gay straight alliance at a time at a time when acceptance was difficult to find for eligibility to students. tim knew the signal that it would send to have a football coach, get involved. the 2 visas groups, faculty, advisor, the students and said he made the school
1:15 am
a safe place for everybody. the in the high school yearbook, the students voted coach was the quote most inspiring faculty member the is i think everyone here can see to mom was the kind of teacher and mentor that every child in america dreams of having. and then every kid is there are the kinds of coats because he's the kind of person who makes people feel like they belong and then inspires sam to dream big. and that's the time the vice president,
1:16 am
the president, the so it was, was a students who actually helped him decide to run for office. and he serves 12 years in congress representing a purple district as he reached across the aisle to get things done. he was the highest ranking. he was the highest ranking enlisted man to ever serve in the united states congress, the veterans committee and he was known as one of capitol hill, best marksman. when
1:17 am
a bi partisan sharp shooting contest, year after year the in washington, tim worked to raise the minimum wage the to reject the freedom of workers to join the union. the, the critical votes to pass the affordable care act, the most insurance to tens of millions of americans. i'm gonna tell you when we, when tim and i will continue to make the affordable care act,
1:18 am
the talks about what we're dealing with on the other side. the so on that last topic is trying to get the chance he will in the affordable care act and take us back to a time when insurance companies had the power to deny people with preexisting conditions. do you remember what that was like? the children with asthma, breast cancer, survivors, grandparents with diabetes? well,
1:19 am
governor waltz and i will not let that happen. the because we believe health care should be a right and not just a privilege, but those are the governor. tim has continued to fight for working families. he secured, paid leave for workers in minnesota, the and he refused. he refused as governor to allow any student in their public schools to go hungry. the may be free for every wow.
1:20 am
and tonight we agree about many things, including when our middle class is strong, america is the same thing. the middle class will be my defining goal as i am president of the united states. the news is the site for the future of the middle class. and it is a fight for freedom. in this moment, we are witnessing a full on attack against hard spot, hard one, freedoms and rights. take reproductive freedom. now
1:21 am
think about this. donald trump said he wants to punish women. and as a result of his actions today in america, one out of 3 women live in a state with a trump abortion band. one out of some of these bands go back to the 1800s even before women have the right to vote. think about that. well jim and i have a message for trump and others who wants to turn back the clock on our fundamental freedoms that we're not following the
1:22 am
. and so let me say about to move and he has shown up to stand against these attacks long before he's done, stays with me, after ro was overturned. he was the 1st governor in the country to sign a new law that enshrined reproductive freedom. as a honda metal right, the side when i am president of the united states and we win majorities in the united states congress, we will pass a bill to restore reproductive freedom the
1:23 am
demo as also defended the sacred freedom to vote. as governor, as governor, he signed the most significant expansion of voting rights in minnesota in over 50 years. the and with governor was. so when i am president, we are going to finally passed the john lewis voting rights. the so tim is a hunter and a gun owner who believes as the majority of gun owners do, that we need reasonable guns,
1:24 am
safety laws and the governor. he expanded background checks and increase penalties for illegal by on sales the and together when we, when in november we are finally going to pass universal background check. 8 through his work, tim, he, you know, the way i think about it, he really does assign a light on a brighter future that we can build together in his state. he has been a model chief executive and with his experience, i'm telling you, tim all will be ready on day one.
1:25 am
the in fact, when you compare his resume, the terms running meets the well. so i might say it's like it's like
1:26 am
a match up between the varsity team and the j. b. so so pennsylvania ultimately in this election we each stays the question. what kind of country do we want to live in? a country, a country of freedom, some passive law, or a country of chaos, spear and huge. and here's the beauty of our democracy. we each have the power to answer the question. we each have the power to answer that question. the power is with the people we love our country and i believe it is the highest form of
1:27 am
patriotism to fight for the ideals of our country the that that is how we preserve the promise of america and ask, oh, you know, the promise of america is what makes it possible for 2 middle class kids, this one, a daughter of oakland, california, the res, via working modem, the other a son of the nebraska plains who grew up working on a farm the the moment of america. because only in america,
1:28 am
only in america is it possible for them together to make it all the way to the one. now the and so close was and i may have different corners of our great country, but our values are the same. and we both believe in listing people up not knocking them down the
1:29 am
we both know the majority of people in our country have so much more income. and then what separates the when we look at both we see in our fellow americans, neighbors, not enemies, not enemies. and so my name is to you is the and our campaign will reach out to everyone from red se, se the to the urban, suburban and tribal the we are running
1:30 am
a campaign on behalf of all americans. and when elected, we will not burn on behalf of all americans the and so we have to move by my side. and with all of you at our side, let us buy for the promise of our future. and with that, i asked pennsylvania. are you ready to make your voice is heard
1:31 am
the vice president of the united states. oh, the wow. a thank you, phil adelphia. thank you madam vice president for the trust you put in me, but maybe more so thank you for bringing back the joy. the
1:32 am
great to be on this journey with you and this incredible journey and pennsylvania, i know you know this, but my god, what a treasure you have in josh shapiro. the who, who can this guy bring the fire? he can bring the fire. this is a visionary leader. also i have to tell. yeah. everybody in america knows when you need a bridge fix callback guy the . and i think sometimes you forget and you see people little one dimensional. but seeing a guy who care so deeply about his family, a man with compassion, vision, and i'll tell you this, i know there's from experience, there is no one you would rather go to
1:33 am
a springsteen concert in jersey with the and i can't wait for all of you and america to get to know my incredible, like when a 29 year public school educate the never underestimate teachers. the don't do beautiful tape. and gus, i couldn't be proud to be on this ticket and to help vice president harris become what we all know is very, very good for us to think about. next president of the united states of,
1:34 am
of the, from her 1st day as a prosecutor, as the district attorney, attorney general of the great state of california, our united states senator and vice president of the united states was president. here's that spot on the side of the american people. she took on the creditors. she took on the broad stairs. she took down the trans national games. she stood up against powerful corporate interest. and she never hesitated to reach across the aisle if it meant improving people's lives. and i want to get all this and don't ever underestimate the power of this. she does it all with
1:35 am
a sense of joy. the i know little sentiment about that commitment to people. i was born in west point in nebraska. i lived in be a small town of 400, where community was a way of life. growing up, i spent the summers working on the family farm. my mom and dad taught us show generosity towards your neighbors and work for a common good. the my dad served in the army during the korean war. what's his encourage? bed? at 17, i joined the army national guard for 24 years. i probably wear the uniform of this nation.
1:36 am
the national guard gave me purpose. it gave me the strength of a shared commitment to something greater than ourselves. and just as it did for my dad and millions of others, the g i bill gave me a shot at a college education. the . my dad was a teacher, my brothers and sisters, and i followed in their footsteps 3 or 4 of us, married teachers, what we do for nearly 20 years, i had the privilege of teaching high school social studies and coaching football.
1:37 am
including when he met state championship. don't ever close the yearbook, but it was my students. they encourage me to run for office. they sign me what i was hoping to and skill and now a commitment of common good. a belief that one person can make a difference. so in 2006, 2006, i took the leap and i ran for congress. and because of high school teachers who brought the mistake, i was running in a district that at one democrats since 1892 as well. my neighbors grace me with an opportunity represent them in the united states house of representatives, the, the work we did there together. i worked across the aisle and veterans issues on
1:38 am
agriculture and on ways to grow rural economies. i learned the art of compromise without compromising my values. the now with governor of the great state of minnesota, i bring those experiences to bear in tackling the challenges that are facing our great state. minnesota strength comes from our values, our commitment to working together to seeing faster differences, always being willing to lend a helping hand. those are the same values i learned on the family farm and tried to instill in my speech. i took it to congress and to the state capital. and now vice president harrison. i are running to take those very values to the white house. the now donald trump sees the word
1:39 am
a little differently than us. the 1st of all, he doesn't know the 1st thing about the service, the he doesn't have time for it because he's too busy serving himself again and again and again. trump weakens our economy to strengthen his own hands. the motto was, as he saw as chaos and division, and that's to say nothing of his record as president heat flows in the face of the cold with dry since we drove our economy into the ground and make no mistake. violent crime was under donald trump,
1:40 am
the that's not even counting the prime committed the, you know, certainly that said this was 10 year old enough to remember. i see you down there. i see those are white guys. so it was old enough to remember what it was, republicans were talking about freedom. it turns out now what they meant was the
1:41 am
government should be free to invade your doctors office. in minnesota we respect our neighbors and their personal choices that they make even we wouldn't make the same choice for ourselves. there's a building me mind your own damn business the these guys are up to my heart to mind your own damn business. that feels good. so that you look, that includes idea and this gets personal for me and my family or when my wife and i decided to have children, we spent years going through infertility treatments. and i remember praying every
1:42 am
night for a call for good news. the bit my stomach, when the phone rang and the agony when we are the treatments hadn't worked. so wasn't by chance that when we welcome our daughter into the world, we named our health, the vice president, and i thought about freedom. we mean the freedom to make your own healthcare decisions for our children to be free to go to school without worrying. they'll be shot dead in their classroom. the, by the way, you heard i was with the best shots in congress, but in minnesota we believe in the 2nd amendment. but we also believe in common
1:43 am
sense gun violence law. the vice president, here's idea of freedom is a ticket for education to be that ticket to the middle class, not crippling that air. that's clean water, it's pure communities, better site ways where we settle or political differences, not through violence, but with our boats. and that's what this watches about. what direction will this country go in a danny
1:44 am
tooth with them. sure. take us back or just to be clear about that. and don't believe them when he plays golf. he knows exactly what project 2025 will do to restrict the free the, the rig the economy to help the super rich. if truck gets a chance to return, he's going to pick up exactly where he left off 4 years ago. only this time don't will be much, much worse raising cost. so middle class family, it will with the repeal the affordable care act, no doubt about it. you've got social security and medicare and when somebody tells you, are they believe them. he said he'd band a portion across this country and he'll do it whether or not congress is there or
1:45 am
not the donald trump's not fighting for you or your family? he never. he never said it. that kitchen table. when i grew up at wondering how we're going to pay the bills, he said his con, club in mar, log a, wondering how we can cut taxes for his rich friends. and i gotta tell you, or is running made. shares is dangerous in backward agenda for this country. the ged bounce literally literally made the for work for the architect of the project. 2025 agenda. the like all regular people i grew up with in the heartland. katie studied at yale, had his career funded by silicon valley, billionaires, and then wrote a best seller, trashing that community,
1:46 am
come off. that's not what middle america is. then i gotta tell you, i can't wait to debate the guy the that is if he's willing to get off the couch and show up, so the i gotta tell you, what do you know? just an observation of mine that i, i, that i made,
1:47 am
i just have to say it. you know what you feel it. these guys are creepy and yeah, it's just weird as hell. that's which is the so you know what's out there to say it with me we're we're going back to the so we got $91.00 day. my god that's easy will sleep when we're dad the it for those next 90. 1 days and every day in the white house,
1:48 am
all have vice president terraces back every single yours you know, there's words we can't do it alone. we need you each and every one of you. be able to, how do i, here's dot com get on board because we need you freedom, make our own choices. this lead or this come passionate care. thank joy as leader believes in each and every one of you. good. you came here tonight. it said at the very top, because you love this country and you're not going back
1:49 am
the she believes in the opportunity for every single person to join the middle class. she believes in the promise of america. we just got a fight. we just got a fight. because as soon to be, president harris says, when we find the philadelphia the you're watching out of the english live pictures, the same philadelphia of the presumptive candidates for the presidency, cadillac, iris, and tim waltz, the full,
1:50 am
the democrats be hosted by judge shapiro, the governor of pennsylvania, making the positions and policy direction the very clearly to the assembled audience, joined that by the partners the wives uh its uh, gwen, it's too much this was the flu. and the 1st gentleman there was a couple of services systems. that's the team that hopes to win the white house and move and the 5th i had the clothes that old is living as we think the base speakers to say we're closely with because the democrats, let's go say that 2 jobs hadn't been dues outside the auditorium but was listening into everything that was being said, uh john, hello, that you uh you just hiding from me. um, and of course everybody out that would be starting disappointed. they didn't get a very impassioned speech by dies capital harrison to was as
1:51 am
a down to was very all the is telling me exactly what that going to do if they, when the election says right in the, the shouting, you're hearing behind me right now. that is for pennsylvania, governor judge shapiro, who was a candidate, a finalist for that vice presidential pick that team was, was eventually named for. he's standing out there, he's very popular here in pennsylvania. so if you're wondering why they're screaming. absolutely, that's it. one of the things you heard, pamela harris so is it only in america. i could have middle class women from oakland, half black, half south asian and a guy from the nebraska plains who ended up being, becoming the governor of minnesota. also middle class football, coach, high school teacher only in these countries that she said could those 2 potentially
1:52 am
become the president and vice president of the country? naturally the tone they want to set, they really want to contrast themselves with donald trump, who of course, grew up very wealthy. and with j events, the senator from ohio, who is the vice presidential pick for trump, who was a gail law school graduate. a venture capitalist speak seem very lofty terms, and you could hear there that didn't seem, well, she doesn't speak that way. very plain spoken guy. and he said he's going to have calmer, harris his back through with her presidency. if they are given that line. and this just to give you an idea of how fired up democrats are on the street. this is a line to get in. that event is over. people who finished speaking. they like 2000 people into the main arena and then is an adjacent arena with 7000 more seats . these people were lined up to get in there. and as you can see,
1:53 am
the little make it that one went around the block 2 times the block, the size or 2 football fields. and the people we talked to were fired, faces that they're very excited for this ticket. most of the people are things that they didn't feel that way about jo buys, so this is energizing the party. of course you got a lot of supervisors, kind of a hair is really more of a mainstream democratic form of prosecutor. like they have fired up his democratic crowd, which is still standing outside of the arena as the event winds down to a 100. the for us in the philadelphia outside the main rita, thank so much joan full, but let's close over to luis of all right for program fellow the following policy research institute. joining us from washington dc. mr. nevada could help you with this on the program. they say 1st impressions actually count what was your
1:54 am
impression of what you had and sold today as well. what you saw today was a ticket that represents both the coastal. busy liberals and the midwestern working class folks who are the base of the democratic party. and what you also heard was a very effective take down of the republican party tickets and you know, which includes a convicted felon. and a guy who, you know, is the reason why jim walls refer certainly, republicans, because it's weird it's, it's very important as they did in the 1st, you might say, presentation to the american public. all this ticket to explain who you are. do you think both wells and how is managed to do that? and in fact, they seem to be a lot of chemistry between the 2 of them is whether the introduction to wells worked and i think it from,
1:55 am
from what we saw. he was very engaging. absolutely. i mean the. busy line that he delivered about, uh, you know, i can't wait to debate j. d bands. if he's willing to get off the couch, was a very clever, double entendre about a controversy going on here in the states and delivered in such a sort of jovial man that it sort of hit the blade if you will, under a valve itself. of course, they were many sort of hints that the types of policies, this ticket will this to be affordable care act of policies, all the salt weapon, bands, voting rights, being universal and health care. these are the things that matter to americans right now. there is very little on foreign policy, but we expect both for the that to come in the coming days. a well that's moving in, and i think there are several things to consider on this. the republicans have been
1:56 am
trying to make an argument. the vice president church is somehow bought equipped to handle the farm. busy so united states because she hasn't had national security scripts, this completely ignores the fact that she's been vice president for the past 4 years. she's had portfolios with regards to both the border where a, a rest started down arrest had been off in border crossings or down. she played a role in the hostage negotiation with russia at the unit security conference. and as a function of being vice president. if she starts off with more national security a policy experience. busy ronald reagan, bill clinton, george bush, birth of brock obama had absolutely donald trump. before they became president. of course we have been hearing this has been sitting in all these calls with prime minister netanyahu over the wall. wrong garza,
1:57 am
it's inevitable that she's good to have to brief. tim was very quickly on that scenario because he is going to be asked about his foreign policy agenda in relation to the how results tickets and a. well, i think you're going to find that. yeah. both harris and governor walls are very much aligned with sort of need before a policy of this administration, which has been largely a success and has defined what we see is the reinvigoration of nato standing up to dictatorships. uh, i think that uh, you know, even as it relates to user on does that, you know, a 2 walls bottom like josh here over republicans have suddenly embraced, alright, i have attempted to embrace this. busy of their own. mm hm. who makes the distinction between uh yeah, the, the policies and the oh reach by prime minister and metric jobs in court in the course of, of,
1:58 am
of fighting this war while still retaining support for the state of israel. it will be interesting to see how this plays out in the weeks ahead. it seems that the democrats have at least started quite well. least of all right, phone program, follow up the foreign policy research institute, good to get your insights. so thanks so much for joining us. you have been watching out of the english. let's take you back to those pictures of the philadelphia way. you can see the stage is still set that with many supporters. and of course the both tim will send couple of hours taking cell fees with the supporters in the crowd, $14000.00 the auditorium listening to them on issues such as the affordable care act, assault weapons ban the universal voting rights, and what they can deliver to working class people across the united states. it'll be interesting to see how to wells takes that message to the rest of the country along with capital hire. and so you have to be watching opposite,
1:59 am
or my colleague elizabeth per on them will have more news on the other side, the break, but then tell them from the news on team here in the off. thanks for your time and your company, the african stories from african perspectives. i'll say i am a creative at heart 3 short documentary spy, african filmmakers from nigeria, south africa, and zambia. i like my children, i like them. i didn't go school in less business to a sion of slaves and we already seen the forest women of austin from the cape and a dream worth chasing. a new series of africa direct on algebra pod came in to be is israel and obstacles piece? i think that's the new thing, the f one, his government, this is 5 digit, you say getting less of a thought provoking odd since the
2:00 am
e you made weapons being used in guns. no guns should be used in an offensive way. that's our facing realities. you're running mean what does he bring to the table? hard from the presidential go to some we cannot take the fact that he was suddenly present as not that important effective he of the story on talk to how does era the the is this, the winning ticket coming? the house introduces a running makes for the us presidential election. the hello on the bottom and this is, alex is here and live from don't how? so coming up. come off names. it's new political need a yes,
