17 days until this election happens, folks. here we go. we are running because all of you are leaving it on the field, folks because, there is too much at risk. there is too much at risk. kamala and i, we are barnstorming the country. i just saw as i walked in here, kamala harris' rally down in georgia had over 20,000 people show up. [cheers and applause] now, we are going to win georgia. last time, won it. we should call donald trump and ask him what we wanted by. i said, how great would it be if we won georgia by one vote, and it was jimmy carter's vote? we are on podcasts, on tv, doing rallies. the two of us are about one hit away from being regulars on fox

news. you know what? it takes stamina to run for president. it takes a lot of stamina to be president. you might be asking yourself -- how in the hell does donald trump think he's going to do this? i'm sure -- his handlers are being pretty clear, they got him under wraps if you have not seen this. donald's stick is old, tired, and divisive, just like him. he is refusing to debate kamala in a that he is refusing to face kamala in a debate again. can you blame him after the but looking he took less time -- he is refusing to face kamala in a debate again. can you blame him after the butt -whipping he took less time? to lie that's probably the smartest thing he's ever done.

he is not up to this anymore, folks. he's not up to it, and we need to make that clear. but you know what? you need to be clear about this. they know this. but you know who stands waiting in the wings? [crowd booing] if you don't know, and i'm sure most everyone here knows, there's something called the 25th amendment, and you can be damn chair jd vance has read the 25th him and. i know this guy is tired, but he is not nearly as tired as we are with his crap. but don't despair, he is never going to be president of the united states again. kamala harris is. she's offering a new way

forward, not the same old tired, divisive, hateful stuff. she and i both grew up in middle-class families. we know that our economy works best when it is fair for everybody. and she's not just talking about it, she is laying out a concrete plan to make sure every single person in this country benefits from this economy. 100 million americans will be a tax cut under kamala harris. [cheers and applause] taking on price scavengers and big pharma. those guys say there's no such thing as price gouging. anyone who knows going into florida, airline tickets skyrocketed when the hurricane came through. we had to pass a law in minnesota because we had a young man named alex. he turned 26 and went off his

parents insurance. he could not afford his insulin and alex smith died over that. his mother said, i will be damp if another child dies -- i will be damned if another child dies over insulin. a bottle insulin now costs $35. they were charging $800 for it. you know how much it costs to make it? five dollars. our economy works best when it works for everyone. many of you may not be there yet, but you start getting near to 60, you start paying attention to some hard things like care and social security -- really hard things. the plan is we get a majority, we pass this and sign into law

medicare for our people. [cheers and applause] i'm glad to see young people here. they don't care about this, but some of us with less hair due care. also adding to medicare -- i think most people did not know this -- adding vision and hearing to it. [cheers and applause] those of you that want to start small business, a $50,000 tax grant to get your foot in the door and get you started on the american dream. [applause] some of our largest corporations pay zero in federal tax. why not small businesses? that's what we are proposing. we talk about this in minnesota, and i know this being a nebraskan that you have it, too, but the saying is the economy

works and we all do that are when we all do better. it is about an economy that is about fairness. it's about understanding workers and builders in the country should receive a fair wage, about understanding health care should be a human right and that you should feel safe going home from work. those are the things we care about. [cheers and applause] donald trump and jd vance got a little vision -- a little different vision of how things go. we know what they will do. i want to give them credit because he has kept his word on a few things. they will gut and take away the affordable care act, kick you off if you have a pre-existing condition, stop your children from staying on your health insurance, drive up premiums, and make this country less healthy, sicker, and poorer. they will go after medicare,

social security. it does not matter to him if he gets a social security check because he's down in mar-a-lago not paying taxes on $1 billion. it matters to my mom when she has to decide between drugs and food for the house. there are people who say they don't like donald trump but like his policies. which ones are those? he is proposing a fine on traveling costs. that's economy saying that. china did not pay -- china will not pay the tariffs, you will pay the terrace. no more than mexico paid for a wall he did not build anyway.

i have said this -- donald trump never keeps his word here that's not true. he does sometimes. he took those wealthy donors down to mar-a-lago and said who are rich as hell, and i'm going to give you a tax cut. he did it. he followed through. he also became the king of debt and drove up the debt more than any other president in u.s. history. clear -- this guy knows nothing about business except how to go bankrupt. he knows nothing about paying his bills, and he knows nothing about the middle last. i think there's probably some of you here that are in the same place of this -- the republican party of old contributed much to this country. when the republican party of old talked about freedom, they meant it. that's not these guys. these guys mean that government should be re-to be in your exam

room with your doctor. [crowd booing] they talk about small government. apparently small enough to in your bedroom with the people you are there with or in your library to tell you what to read. [crowd] i got this from my friends in valentine and -- we respect our neighbors' choices. we don't have to agree with them. you do you, i will do me. that i thing we do. -- that's a thing we do. [cheers and applause] there is that golden rule -- do under others. -- do unto others. that's a good golden rule. i would add an addendum to that, too. there's a second golden rule, mind your own damn business. [cheers and applause]

somebody said, you think donald trump knows the golden rule? and i said, yeah, those are the instructions he gave to his interior designer for instructions on his golden toilet or whatever the hell he put in. when kamala harris and i talk about freedom, we mean you should be free to live your life the way you choose. your choice about your own health care decisions, about your own family, the freedom for seniors to retire with dignity by strengthening social security and medicare. [cheers and applause] and for all of us here and those who have little ones and those who have grandkids and just those that are just basic, decent human beings, the freedom to send our little ones dressed in their finest clothes off to a school to meet with a teacher and to be there and learned -- the freedom to do that without being shot dead in their classrooms. [cheers and applause]

and this is nebraska and the folks who are here, you know and i know, i'm a gun owner. i am a veteran. i'm a hunter. kamala is a gun owner at the same time. owning guns does not mean we cannot be for common sense solutions to protect our children. [cheers and applause] you can hold the second amendment while upholding our primary responsibility, the safety of our children and neighbors. [cheers and applause] this is where you take the notes for that family member that is not sure where they are voting -- isn't it interesting how both numbers of the democratic ticket are gun owners this year? but that god on the republican ticket cannot pass the background check to get one.

[cheers and applause] -- that guy on the republican ticket cannot pass the background check to get one. you know, the 34 felonies that come. i'm going to speak to part of the audience here, i am going to men on this one. there's a lot of you here. look, all of you, for the women in your life that you love -- your wives, daughters, mothers, wrens, all that, literally, their lives are on the line in this election, guys. that's what's on the line. donald trump appointed his supreme court justices who did exactly what he told them to do. they repealed the protections of roe v. wade, and he brags about it. he is glad that my daughter, your daughters, our wives have fewer rights than their mothers

and grandmothers had. he brags about it. [crowd booing] 20 states including right here now have a trump abortion and -- ban. he calls that a beautiful thing. you are seeing. women getting denied care at er's, having miscarriages in parking lots. women's names that should have never been known by americans because it is nobodies damn business what they do with their health care, but we now know them. the bravery of hadley devol who stand up to say when she was 12 years old, a child, raped and impregnated by her stepfather, and they told her and jd vance said that there should be no exceptions for rape and incest because he said two wrongs don't make a right. [crowd booing]

there is not one thing right about what happened to hadley devol, and what they are doing makes it so much worse. it's bigger than that. the guys at project 2025 want to control contraception at fertility clinics, fertility clinics in states are trying to close and turn couples away, couples who simply want to have a family and use those services. this is personal for me. again, you don't need to hear about my personal, but my wife and i have talked about it. for years, we try to have children, and it's because we could use fertility treatments that we have our dutiful family. [cheers and applause] -- a beautiful family. [cheers and applause] i'll be damned if any politician, especially donald trump and jd vance, should have anything to say about your access to health care and fertility treatment. when we take this congress --

when kamala harris is president and we codify roe v. wade, the protection of women to make their own decisions over their own bodies, kamala harris will sign it into law. [cheers and applause] i think we got to know, and i get this, you have 17 days and in this amphitheater, i am preaching to the choir, but folks, our recital is 17 days away, and we need to hang loudly, so it's important to know what is on the others. if donald trump would be elected again, he would have the opportunity to appoint either two or three more supreme court justices during the next four years. [crowd booing] this is a group of folks who already told donald trump, "you have the immunity to do whatever the hell you want to do." these are the folks that will be making decisions about the laws in this country for our children and grandchildren's lifetime.

they would have six of the nine supreme court justices and would have no accountability over donald trump. look, i know that's not the future you want for your family. it's not the one, so, look, there is a solution -- you and everyone you know vote for kamala harris, and none of that will happen. [cheers and applause] we're not going back. >> not going back! were not going back! were not going back! we're not going back! we're not going back! governor walz: look, there is plenty of reasons the stakes in this election are really high, but let me give you one more. some of you might have heard -- and, look, people are overwhelmed by this. i run into people who say, i am

just not that into politics. i'm tired of it. too damn bad, politics is into you. there are so many people who recall the trump term and do not recall that all our neighbors were dying of covid because of his idiocy of neglecting science and telling people to inject bleach did not do as much good, but they tell us we could survive another four years. i'm an optimist, but you have heard me say this. i truly don't know if the institutions will hold if we get another four years of donald trump. i genuinely don't believe it. i say this because something has happened over the last few weeks that is unprecedented in our history. the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, top military officer in this country, decorated officer, he did not mince words. he told us on the record if

donald trump, and this is a direct quote -- is fascist to the core and the most dangerous president america has ever faced. the guy is not a democrat, people. he is a lifelong military officer who served his country. this week, trump's own secretary of defense endorsed that very view. he said donald trump was the most damaged person he had ever met in his life. trump's plan to seize unprecedented power for himself because the supreme court would give him the right to do that -- it's not hypothetical. once again, people say donald trump has no plan, he has the concept of a plan, he does have a plan called project 2025. some of you may know who this guy is, he was trump's national

security advisor for a short time. his name was mike flynn. some of you don't know -- i hate to encourage you to look this guy up, but it is important to know, trump said he would have a top role in ex-white house. this last week, mike flynn was asked -- think about this, this is america, not some regional place -- he was asked if he would military tribunals to carry out executions against those who were against donald trump if trump were to win. that's what he was asked. the answer to that is are you out of your god-damned mind? you know who he's talking about? he's talking about me. don't kid yourself about this. when they are done with me, he is talking about you. that's who they are talking

about, because you had the audacity as an american to come and express your political views in a safe and nonviolent manner. countless people fought and gave their lives for us to be able to do this. [cheers and applause] >> usa! usa! usa! governor walz: that is exactly right. that's exactly right. i will be damned if i will get the flag to a fascist like these guys, and i will be dammed if i will give them family issues. we are not going to give them read him, that is for damn sure, because we know where freedom looks like. and i'm not giving them football because they don't know cap.

the donald trump 2016 is not the donald trump that's running now. he is far more unfit than he was in 2016. he is more deranged. he is more desperate to stay out of prison that he was in 2016. and he made sure there no guard rails. when i asked jd vance a simple question in the debate donald trump is the election, he would not answer it. he answered this week -- no, he did not lose the election. if jd vance had been sitting where my aunts was sitting, they would have overthrown the election of the government of the united states. there is a word for that. it's called trader -- traitor. just so we know. you know it here and joni vargas knows it. god knows the spineless republicans in congress will not do a damn thing to stop him.

there's one way we stop this from happening. we came here with the courage, democrats, independents, republicans across this state -- [cheers and applause] think about it. think about it. you tell me how bad donald trump is that he brought bernie sanders, dick cheney, and, for christ sake, taylor swift onto the same ticket. look, folks, we do this the right way. we do with the american way. we get organized, make the phone calls, do the door knocks, and we clean his clock on election day and win this. [cheers and applause] so, 17 days, folks. we are still the underdogs. it still a race. we are leaving at all on the

field. return your mail ballot today if you have one. [cheers and applause] don't wait. you can vote early at york county election office monday through friday. be sure to bring a photo id, nebraskans. if you are not registered, you have until october 25. you can register in person. you can vote at the same time. if you want more, iwillvote.com/ne. when you the door knocks, the phone calls. one or two extra votes per precinct could make a difference, and you know that. i know we ask much. if you got a little, you can go to, lynnharris.com and done it a couple bucks. it puts one more add on facebook, puts poll workers at election places. i have to tell you -- i think all of you know this -- this

thing is going to be close. the blue wall is going to hold. michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania. [cheers and applause] but, you do the math -- wisconsin, minnesota, michigan, the rest of the state, 269. one dot makes the difference. [cheers and applause] look -- >> luke. -- blue dot! blue dot! blue dot! governor walz: you inspire the rest of the country because you believe in democracy, you believe in freedom. we are going to end on the right. the vice president, she talks

about when we fight -- >> we win! governor walz: when we vote -- >> we win! governor walz: omaha, put us over the top. let's go!
