the dnc that will transcend politics and already has the unforced error by the kamala harris campaign team to allow those superstar beyond say, taylor swift, rumors to fester because everyone was saying, where is she? and then you don't want your presidential nominee to be anticlimax taking that was kinda what happened so don't do that next. >> room worried that there would be rioters of the outside in go heads all of it. >> well, i've got a different take on beyonce because i know people who only watch because they thought beyonce was going to be on there and he didn't care about kamala harris, didn't care about the democrats that a republican trump, whatever they wanted to see beyonce. and so people watch to the very end. and so i think that if the best that donald trump can do does still back the new cycle is to get rfk junior then kamala harris and beyonce somewhere texting each other, laughing emojis isn't saying wait until we activate to bri. >> we'll see if that happens. this campaign, everyone thanks.
8:01 pm
harris and walz trump and vance rfk junior wait. >> nope. >> it you can't beat them. join them as long as something in return, right? rfk junior's officially out of the presidential race. he suspended his campaign today, say he's pulling his name from about ten battleground states and surprise as surprise. he endorsed donald trump. how did this happen? you might ask, well, he says he tried to get vice president kamala harris to talk to him, but he says she refused trump though, heard amount. and in fact, for the potential of a cabinet job for rfk junior, if he wins a cabinet job for who? not the same rfk that you said this
8:02 pm
about just in may, right rfk junior is a democrat plant, a radical left liberal, a big time tax, or he wants to tax you and open border advocate. >> i'd even take biden over junior because our country would last about a year or two longer than it would wood junior, he is not a republican, so don't think you're going to vote for him and feel good. he's a radical left democrat okay. >> so what happened since may, which is when that was to change all of this is i rfk junior underwent any sort of transformation since then to the contrary, his polling has actually plummeted down to just about 5%. and if anything is campaign it got a little stranger. shall we say? once he admitted to dumping a dead bear in central park several years ago, i can't make this thing up but trump now sees something in them until we brought them out tonight at his rally in glendale, arizona rfk's
8:03 pm
walkout song my hero, by the foo fighters. and i can, i just for a second, read those lyrics. you just don't have them there goes my hero. he's ordinary so suddenly according to trump, rfk is no longer a dangerous radicals suddenly rfk junior isn't ordinary asset i'm very pleased to welcome a man who has been an incredible champion for so many of these values that we all share and we've shared him for a long time. he's highly respected he is a great person. he is a phenomenal person, a phenomenal man who loves the people of this country there goes my hero since may but will it work? that's the big question with me to discuss another twist to this effort changing race, white house bureau chief for
8:04 pm
the washington post, toluse olorunnipa, republican tragic liam donovan and democratic strategist and misha at cross and staff writer for the new yorker, clare malone, who profiled the failed presidential candidate in the arctic what does rfk junior actually want leon live? begin with you here. so this has been a handout neck braces for halloween candy this year because everything changes every single day and you have all these epiphanies, so to speak. and then i changed my mind about this person what makes him so different? now that trump would say, yep, i want you or maybe your voters there was a time when he was very useful to donald trump. >> there was a time not that long ago, just two months ago when, a quarter of the country didn't like the choice they had before i'm 25% of americans were saying, we don't like either of these major party choices. so what kennedy represented was a name-brand, waystation for people that hadn't made their choice yet. and on net, the
8:05 pm
third party minor candidates were benefiting donald trump in the two parties share he had a minor lead. but when you ask the full ballot, it actually benefited him fairly significantly. that all changed in the last six weeks. the whiplash that we have gotten it's no longer a double hater election, only single digits actually, between the assassination in the swap on the democratic side, people are reasonably happy with their selections and as such kennedy has gone from 20% fading to 15%, and overnight is now down below 5%. in the states that matter, that's more or less than some places. the reason he's doing this in arizona's because that's the single biggest state where he's taking some of that vote and a disproportionately helps donald trump. but, but that is the story of the last six weeks. >> i mean, to lou for the last sunday with next book, the story of the last six weeks. that was going on. well, let me ask you. i mean, if you saw this rally they actually had fireworks go off when the two shook can. now that's like usually what happens in a love story and the bromance is solidified. you've got the fireworks happening, but this
8:06 pm
was was this trump's way of trying to after the dnc, the ultimate counterprogramming. i mean, usually it's celebratory when you've got a naming of a candidate now, an endorsement of a third third party, and we look seriously, fireworks are going up. mind him trump hates not being in the spotlight. >> he hates the fact that over the past four days, kamala harris and the democrats have been winning in the ratings race. they've been capturing the attention of the entire country. they have pulled off a pretty impressive convention in which they were able to rally around kamala harris harris and her story has become the dominant story in his campaign. and so he wants to change the narrative we've seen it as he's been doing press conferences, as he's been launching these various attacks that create new headlines. and now as he's welcomed this and endorsement from rfk junior, he is trying to change the narrative. he's trying to shake up the race and he's trying to win over some of those voters that our trump light voters who maybe think of themselves as trump voters, but they were considering maybe going to a third party. he's trying to win those voters back because
8:07 pm
2%, 3%, 4% in a close race could actually win. and some of those battleground states like arizona, pennsylvania georgia, if he's able to win over some of those votes, he can potentially change the narrative of the election. >> i'm going to call this the one potato, potato, potato four strategy. clare, let me ask you, listen to how rfk explains why he is now supporting trump. listen to this we talked about not about the things that separate us because we don't agree on everything on the values and issues at bind, does it together? >> and one of the issues that he talked about was having safe food, an ending the chronic disease epidemic do you want a president that's going to make america healthy again okay. >> he said that many of what they believe and does not line up that's fair. you don't have to be 100% on the same page, but there's a lot that separates the two of them. and
8:08 pm
my understanding what is drawing rfk to trump is it they're not healthy food, but the carrot of may billy, maybe a cabinet position i think. >> it's a few things. i definitely think this sort of tantalizing could i get a cabinet position? could i chair some prominent panel? is there, but i'd also say that kennedy's campaign had an interesting culture of he actually disagreed with a lot of people who were campaign staffers are senior adviser there's the campaign had a sort of fractures over what was rfk's actual stance on abortion? >> i actually think he's comfortable with the gray areas and part of his pitch throughout the past year or so has been, you know, we're really talking about existential issues like chronic disease. >> we're not here to divide you with i mean, frankly, the major issues of the election, things like immigration or abortion rights. i mean, so he is, he is i think a little bit comfortable both with the gray areas of disagreeing with someone. i guess, including his wife, cheryl hines, i think is
8:09 pm
is not supportive of this trump endorsement. but bobby kennedy is also he also loves the spotlight just like trump. so i think that's also an attraction for him. >> well you know, misha, the harris campaign released a statement about rfk's decision saying, quote, for any american out there who is tired of donald trump and looking for a new way forward. hours is a campaign for you. how did they thread this? it's needle between on the one hand, attacking trump and the other hand, not trying to alienate rfk supporters and saying no, no, i don't want that side. if you don't want to vote for him, it's this ticket that you want i think you connect trump to rfk because there isn't that much daylight between them. we're talking about two people who are anti-vaxxers to people who are anti-science, to people who have stood by policies that do not protect a woman's right to choose. we know that when rfk junior was actually still in this race, his vice presidential candidate in a han as starkly against
8:10 pm
ivf, she's someone who talked about a pseudoscience where women in their 50s could basically get more sunlight and somehow that would help them concede. these are people who are beyond weird. these are people who also have very dangerous policy positions, rfk believes that if you have a vaccine, if your children get back saying is they're going to be autistic. my older brother has autism and i'm very offended by people who are pushing these anti-science narratives. and quite frankly scaring the hell out of folks and passing along much diseases and other things that we had eradicated decades ago because they refused to actually follow doctor's advice and continue to go against though i think that they threaten the needle by saying exactly who rfk junior is, whom his own family has roundly come out and rebuked for some of the stances that he's taken and leaking that directly to what we've seen from donald trump. again, there's a reason why there are people who supported, who supported donald trump, who also supported rfk junior. those were the people that he was peeling off initially because they are two sides of
8:11 pm
the same coin. >> well, the lam want to bring you back into this point because trump, taking a reproductive rights he takes credit as you know, for ending roe v. wade and getting the supreme court justices on the bench. she'd be able to position them to do so he also posted on truth, social social that he'd be great for women and reproductive rights he added that tonight saying that the republican party is a quote, leader on ivf, really. >> well, so i think this goes back to the clubs you were showing of him saying what he needed to say about rfk at any given point in time, donald trump is more than willing to say to that audience, whatever works for that situation. so i think we'll see that i want to cut you off if there's what but if you see that at and that's the idea of almost being ideological camelia. and wherever you want to hear, i'll tell you what we want my name to be right there. that's you see that as raja doesn't a voter see that and think no, i think they will at some level. and in a weird way that was an appeal like not in this context, but you have to think back. she doesn't 16 part of the reason that donald trump
8:12 pm
read is the moderate candidate in some ways to some voters was because they understand that politicians are full of it and a lot of flights because then he'll at least say or be nakedly transactional about it. but i think i just wanted to make a point that musha laid out a lot of things i think we'll hear, but i think there's a reason why you had the harris campaign layout not try to antagonize his voters and the leave it to the surrogates to say all the nasty things about rfk because there are spaces not on cnn, not necessarily on in print media or otherwise, but there are spaces that there are key voters that are gonna decide this election who actually do care what rfk says, and the fact that he's supporting donald trump and will not be in the way of donald trump, i think is important. it's marginal, it's not a huge thing, but i think they do have to be careful in. and you said there is a needle to be threaded. their they have to be careful not to antagonize people who are gettable for them and push them into trump's arms. >> what i want to go to you on that point, i mean, it back to you to lose one second because the democrats seem to inherently understand the need to talk about reproductive rights at the dnc was a huge
8:13 pm
part of that conversation. they spent a lot of time actually hammering trump over abortion. how effective you think that's actually been not only last week or this week, but going forward i think there's extremely effective because we know of a handful of states that actually have ballot initiatives to further restrict women's reproductive rights. those ballot initiatives will come up in time for the november election but we also know that over 54% of the voting electorate is women. and we've seen that women have been galvanized regardless of what side of the aisle they subscribe, subscribe they've been galvanized around women's reproductive rights, access and choice when they want to be able to make those decisions for themselves between them whoever their partner is, and they're good lord, at this point, there is a pressure from conservatives to have government intervene and something that has, for a very long time been barred from women in privacy rights. and i think that in as much as the democrats can continue to carry that mantle can continue to talk to women across multiple demographics about why they need to stand for it. in addition to bringing him in, there are several men led
8:14 pm
organizations, men for choice being one of them that is laying out the advocacy points for men as to how this affects their lives as well. we can't talk about the economy. we can't talk about women's roles in it without also talking about them and family planning, birth control, and access to birth control options are a huge part of women's reproductive rights. and the republican party has decided that they are going to fight this war on women no matter what. and i think that the democrats are smart to keep pressing go in advocacy against them to lose. >> we ask give you last run this because we've come from a week where it began with president biden, bit of a swan song and people being very deferential and the thank you, joe, to culminating in the official torch being passed to now official nominee, harris that is quite the bubble to being the dna see and to hear all the support you got to take that out to liam's point, the rest of the country to get that to 70. when you look ahead at the impact of now rfk endorsing trump what do you think is
8:15 pm
really going to move the needle for those voters who are looking to be persuaded? is it endorsement? is it more granular detail on the issues or are we continuing on the personality train? >> it's gonna be a little bit of all of the above. you saw during the dnc, we saw a lot of euphoria, a lot of happiness within the halls of the united and center. but we also heard from a number of people on stage saying it's not always going to feel like this over the next 74 days, they're going to be moments where we have to work really hard because times are tough. we're going to have to win over some of these voters who are still skeptical because the feeling of euphoria within that united center is not what's happening across the country. people are saying that the country's on the wrong track. people are saying that they need more more from need to know more about commonly harris need to know more about how she's going to affect their lives. and so there's going to be much more work that democrats have to do to showcase that they actually will impact people's lives in a positive way. >> well, the phrase that was used was underdog. they seem to implicitly know that as well. standby everyone because from flag-waving to usa chants, it was a convention that focused a lot on the word patriotism.
8:16 pm
>> will democrats be able to seize that patriotic thunder from republicans will talk about it in just a moment. we don't bad debt holding back only were ambitions all in one low fixed rates borrow up to 100 tank, no fees required so far i get your money, right the current system leaves people out here in the cobble, you're not in the with things like bitcoin and blockchain were connecting people from all walks were offering education in an industry that can impact their lives too. >> this is how we can have a generational impact. >> group dorm blockchain is

8:20 pm
premieres sunday, september 22, did nine on cnn from countless references to freedom. >> and of course there was a course to be odd day song, freedom to flags, waving and chants usa, usa democrats used their nominating convention to stake their claim on patriotism i want you to proudly claim your patriotism you are here because you love your country, do not give an inch to pretenders wrap themselves in the flag, but spit in the face of freedoms, it represents want to let my fellow republicans in on the secret the democrats are as patriotic as us. i love our country with all my heart my panel is back with man to go to you first did meet shut me the democratic party. >> it was all about in many respects, questions about the identity and introducing vice
8:21 pm
president kamala harris. but it sounds like they were really trying to ensure that the identity that they wanted or line with patriotism above all, did they do an effective job of trying to align their party with patriotism? >> i think they absolutely did the republicans have for a very long time, align themselves with patriotism and for the most part after this though they were the harbingers over it. and the only ones who had access to it, hugging an american flag does not make you the ultimate patriot. we know that there are several members of the u.s. armed forces who have stood out in some the port of the of the kamala harris. and what she plans on doing her policy actions, specifically as it relates to uplifting and supporting veterans, but also in rebuking a lot of what we saw from trump and the rhetoric around veterans, particularly those who have been injured or who lost their lives in the line of duty. but beyond that, i think that it is taking it back and showcasing and what patriotism can actually look like in real life, people who fight for civil rights, people
8:22 pm
who fight for the betterment of their country, people who fight for education, access, and equity in terms of employment, in terms of housing, in terms of security, these are very patriotic goals. people who want to uphold democracy. not only here, but also abroad. these are things that are the cornerstones of who we are and for democrats, it is making sure that they make that plain for the longest. they think that unfortunately they allowed a seating of patriotism to the republicans. and at this point, they are taking it back. they are being very outspoken about it and they're putting the right spokespeople out front to showcase what patriotism looks like. who can actually carry that mantra? and why it's so important for americans to realize who we are, what we stand for, and the fact that patriotism does not look like project 2025. >> liam, let me turn to you on this because it diminishes point. it means just like sometimes there are certain parties who would like to cover up particular issue and say this is ours, the economy is, or as we own this issue, we want to, we won't ever know that at pictures of his all of ours, democrat really being
8:23 pm
intentional in trying to not only have republicans come out, you heard kinzinger talking about let me just give you a breaking news here that democrats are also patriotic what does that mean for the counter programming and messaging now, from republicans, well, i mean, look, this is smart politics and they, they pulled off a full convention just demonstrating very normal images that are recognizable to the sorts of voters that are going to decide this election. >> and will that work? i think it's open question shan, as to when republicans will begin to go after her and wisdom news cycles, she has had a, been able to coast on vibes for 32 straight days. we have 74 left and i think it's an open question. it's not gonna be patriotism that it decides the, decides this. but as long as she's able to present as somebody that's recognizable, that is not scared three, that is not some kind of san francisco socialists than i think she's going to be in pretty good shape and it's up to donald trump. it's up to the republican party to present some sort of message, either
8:24 pm
that is proactively saying no trump is better, or saying you don't want what the future holds and really frankly, tying her to the policies of the last three-and-a-half years? she's been the vacuum that we've seen over the last month. they've not been driving that message home the whole point of a convention in part of padding wants up on the back and celebrating your own party is also to broaden the tent. >> it's televised for a reason. they were talking to the camera for a reason they want people to know what they want them to know. they've been painted democrats as elites as those who are uber liberal, but they have veterans. they had republicans, they had that, they had unions. they'd country singer's, they had a variety people on those stages. did they do the right things to expand the tent for the electorate to see? >> it was also important for them to expand the electorate of people who are interested in considering voting for kamala harris in part because yes, democrats have been painted as elite. they've been painted as out of touch, but kamala harris specifically has been painted as foreign as someone who's
8:25 pm
background is shadowy are unclear and donald trump has been the person that's done that often, trafficking and racist tropes. and so it has been important for democrats and kamala harris specifically to embrace that version of patriotism, to showcase that i'm one of you, i come from a middle-class family. i come from oakland, california. my family was striving and trying to make it in america just like everyone else. and i will be a president for all americans. as you said. and so i think there were successful in neutralizing this issue and pushing back against some of them the attacks that trump has levied against her is she black and she asian? what is she? where does she come from? what kind of background does she have she had pushed back against that and said that i am an american, i am someone who would represent all americans and i think she was successful in doing that. and by embracing so much patriotism, by having so much red, white, and blue on the floor of the united center. she was able to showcase her version of america and neutralize some of these attacks that she's been facing there's no room for error. >> lamb and the short calendar we have left. i mean, 70 something days the election early voting starts with matt and debates on the horizon. no
8:26 pm
major interviews lined up. every opportunity that they speak it's going to be that much more important. >> what are you going? what would you advise at trump campaign to do to capitalize on that jordan schedule? >> well, first and foremost, they need to be careful about lowering expectations because she showed a proficiency at delivering a speech. if if you once assume that the media is going to help her and continue to let these vibes go. i don't know why you'd expect back then in her first interaction with the media that it would suddenly end on that on that note, i think she is certainly gotten better. she's found her stride. so i think controlling for those expectations in a way that they failed to in the first debates in, with catastrophic implications and keep that in mind for september 10, you cannot set her up with a low bar that she can leave over but i really think this is really going to be about how long the honeymoon lasts, because i think everybody understood that she needed to get her feet under her before we started asking too many questions. but now that the that the convention is over, i do think it's up to the media and frankly, republicans to
8:27 pm
press her on these issues and find out where things stand beyond just what the spokespeople are telling you media. >> well, we'll see how the voters see all of it and whether that honeymoon period would last thank you, everyone a texas mom thought that she was passed a 2006 votes 16 voting case against her after her five year prison sentence for casting a provisional ballot because overturned. now, an appeals court is reconsidering that very case. crystal mason joins me to respond. >> next salma means millions flocked to america's national parks. >> but nature can turn disastrous when tourists is crossed the line she's started by my left leg. >> my initial thought was near definitely gonna die. >> the whole story with anderson cooper sunday at 8:00 on cnn. >> so tell me about your heart attack or heart attack was scary. never want to go through that again. public could with heart disease, you never know. we may changes green juice.

8:32 pm
mason had the threat of serving a five year prison sentence, hanging over her head she's convicted of voter fraud after casting a provisional ballot in the 2016 election, while under supervised release from prison. >> earlier this year, a texas appeals court overturned her conviction and it seemed like it was all behind her that is until now an appeals court is granting the tarrant county district attorney requests to take another look. but let me be clear about something this woman katz was called a provisional ballot and let me explain a little bit about what that is precisely. when there is any question about whether you are eligible to vote we look to a federal law called pava. it stands for help america vote act of 2002 and under that law, any u.s residents should always be able to cast a provisional ballot, even if they're registration status is not clear. now, it does not mean the ballot has to be counted. it's a conditional
8:33 pm
ballot. it will only be counted if they're actually eligible. now, election officials will try to verify voters identity and eligibility to vote by looking at the voter rolls are verifying signatures. are they actually registered or they voted him right. jurisdiction. are they supposed to be voting? they're is that a real signature? they may also require additional information from the voter and they can also require an affidavit like this one in texas. if they can verify identity eligibility, they counted if they can't they won't and even if they are counted, there counted last. >> now this woman, crystal, she filed a provisional ballot, but she was also on supervised release for texas or tax evasion in the federal courts. >> now in texas, you cannot vote while on supervised release because your sentence is not technically over. she says she did not know she was
8:34 pm
ineligible because of that. apparently election officials did and they didn't count her ballot crystal mason and her attorney, justin moore, join me now crystal, just going through this and thinking about how this was a provisional ballot that was not ultimately counted. did this case appeared over over when you're said it was overturned and you were acquitted. >> how are you feeling now that it's being looked at again? over overwhelm me and my family is overweight him about this matter and we're just ready for it to be over. this has been going on eight years now. >> this has been in our conversations in the past. it was a nightmare then it's a dream. you can't seem to wake up from what are you thinking as you learned that they were going to even look at it again, have you thought why me why now? why still? >> that's why indefinitely
8:35 pm
first thought was why me, why we're still here you know, i guess rejoiced in march from being acquitted and here i am jefferson i want to bring you in here because i'm really curious as to why now. i mean, when chris was conviction was overturned, it was ruled that there was not enough evidence to prove that she knew she was ineligible to vote. is there new evidence? why is the da asking the court to look at this again? >> laura, this amounts to a hail mary by the terek county da i mean, this case has been well-briefed every lawyer that has seen this case realizes that the briefings have been airtight. the fact that this teran county district attorney, which is a new district attorney from the original da, the prosecutor crystal is trying to ask for a higher court to review the appellate decision that came out in march. it only amounts to political theater ahead of this election but we do believe that
8:36 pm
the appellate court that is going to review this case is basically a firm say that we got it right so we feel really confident going into this next round of briefing. >> i mean, the da gestin is arguing that the prior ruling you speak about disregarded evidence that crystal was aware of being an ineligible to vote what is your response to that i mean, on its face and what's clear on the record shows that crystal did not know that she wasn't eligible and at the very least at the da's office did not present enough evidence that was sufficient enough to get over the reasonable doubt standard that all district attorneys have to meet when they're trying to convict somebody so the da's response or the da's argument, i believe it should fall on deaf ears when it goes back to the appellate court crystal, i mean, you are a mother. >> you have three children. you have a family and a community who is looking to support you.
8:37 pm
and i wonder how you have been talking to your family about what has been going on. and frankly how you are keeping yourself saying knowing that you've had this over your head for going on eight years what i've been doing as it's election time i'm deputized the rest of the debris is read, the rest of people to vote. in me and my family's. we've been out in the streets knocking on doors, telling people how important it is to vote you got to remember the judge, the da, the prosecutor. they're all elected officials. and this is why we need to get out in vote are you concerned that what has happened to you could happen to others and that people who may not know about ineligibility we'll try to cast provisional about are just say, you know what it's not worth it. >> i don't want to take the risk. i'm not having to do a
8:38 pm

8:40 pm
this very frivolous i guess war that the da's office has waged against her in voters that look like her that's what we need from the court of criminal appeals. if they don't give us a definitive answer, this could very well go all the way up to the u.s. supreme court. hopefully it doesn't go that far. hopefully we can just deal with this now and we can put this behind crystal an answer for you and for those who are watching to see if they might be next. and what can be done about it. crystal mason, justin moore. thank you both so much. >> thahank you everything you want is right. >> tear the disney plus hulu max bundle. the current system leaves people while you're in the tabarre, you're not in the with things like bitcoin and

8:46 pm
about your first meeting with the vice president at the time that you were feeling doubt. listen to this she saw that a stress i immediately began crying and the most powerful woman in the world wiped my tears and listen she said, among other things, you're exactly where god wants you i thought this was such a beautifully poignant moment, talked to me about that because we so rarely hear not only about vulnerability, but also about encouragement from those who take the time to provide it, talk to me about that moment. >> yeah you know, that was the one thing i did not want to do. i did not want to cry. so we shorten the story i read this beach over and over trying to keep me from crying but it's
8:47 pm
such a real moment. and when i look back and reflect upon this giant of a woman still just kind of looking out for others. it is just mind-blowing to me. is mind-blowing to me that this is someone who has so much on her plate and has her own attacks that are coming at her are yet for whatever reason, she's still has energy to porn to others. and so as she continuously says, that it's important to lift others up, i just wanted the people to know that she believed that because ultimately, i don't think this election is about qualifications like donald trump is wild and ridiculous, right? >> i think this comes down. >> so who people like the best and what we knew early on in the polling was that people are getting excited about her, but they didn't feel like they knew her. so that's why i decided that it was really important for me to number one
8:48 pm
credential allies what type of prosecutor she was as well as give them a little bit of insight to something that's pretty personal to me. >> i for one, i'm glad you did because i think i often measured people are who they are when the cameras are not on when those private conversations to really get a sense of who the person is. now that we have some basis for that, and we've heard from this convention all week and in a kind of that political bubble that conventions bring. now the march has to 270. and i wondering from your perspective with the short time, what 70 something days away now, how do the democrats, how does the harris-walz ticket keep the momentum going especially with debate just 18 days away when people are thinking about their feelings, but also want the granular detail of who was going to make them feel successful and thriving in america yes. >> so you played a clip of the soon-to-be vice president sand
8:49 pm
walls and we can sleep when we're dead. >> i must tell you, i feel like on the walk-ins there right now, join the queue and i'm currently sitting in a hotel room. >> i didn't get to go home i left the convention today and i came to michigan where i spoke almost as soon as i hit the ground and i've got a number of other events that i've got to do. i won't get home until sunday so no, we are not risks and we're not letting up or not getting so excited. they were i'm not going to do the work you saw a candidate that decided that, you know what? i can show you better than i can sell you in the middle of my convention, i am still out here on the road and submitting to the people and making sure that the people know that they are the ultimate priority. and so i think that that's what people should really pay attention to, is who is actually coming to you if i'm working for you to get your votes, then hopefully i'll work for you once i'm in
8:50 pm
office. but if i'm not even working to get your vote, then why should i actually give it to you? and what we've seen is that the democratic team is working overtime it's not just the vice presidential candidate in the presidential candidate they it is all of us. we are all in, and we are going to go hard. until november 5 we have to win, not because it's about us, but it's because it's about the rest of the citizens in this united states as well as the rest of the world. the eyes of the world are watching us to see we're going to do and trust them. believe i know this all too well. as i recently just got back from taiwan while congresswoman, i wish you rest at some part along that journey, i would like to rest before i die. i don't know about you, congresswoman jackson craggy, maybe not today. maybe not tomorrow. but it sounds maybe a little local thank you. you so much for joining us tonight to see absolutely. >> have a good goodwin well, i head they are the olympic power
