[ cheers and applause ] >> rupaul: well. to be fair, it didn't make sense when he was sober, either. [ laughter ] now, tonight was the big finale

of the democratic national convention in chicago. the theme for tonight was "for our future." which is vastly different from the theme of the republican convention which was, "do you all remember the late, great hannibal lecter in" [ laughter ] the big surprise last night was oprah gave a speech. she was great, she was great. but whoever was working the camera made a very unfortunate choice when they cut away to the crowd. >> we are not so different from our neighbors. when a house is on fire, we don't ask about the homeowner's race or religion. we don't wonder who their partner is or how they voted. no. we just try to do the best we can to save them. and if the pace -- place happens to belong to a childless cat lady?

[ cheers and applause ] and "contest" and "contagious." you get the picture. [ laughter ] first and foremost, i say we disband the supreme court. the only supreme who can tell me what to do is diana ross! [ cheers and applause ]

i'm going to implement a program called "you better work." [ cheers and applause ] i'm talking about jobs. white collar, blue collar, hand, rim.

[ cheers and applause ] >> rupaul: why austin? >> i moved there right after graduating in 2019 to train. they have a really great sprint training group there with my coach, tanja buford olympian. the group is just incredible.

>> rupaul: hold up. you're still training? does that mean you're going to be in l.a. in 2028? >> that's the plan. [ cheers and applause ] [ rim shot ] >> rupaul: girl. girl. oh my goodness. wow. and i see your mama over there. hey, mama. [ cheers and applause ] oh, my god. i can't imagine what it's like for a parent to take so much time, so much devotion. what do you want to say to your mother for all -- and it paid off. >> well, mom, i want to thank you so much for forcing me to do track and field. [ laughter ] so, thank you. you knew what you were doing. >> rupaul: because you had a choice? why did you choose -- why did you choose track and field? >> so, i originally chose softball. i wanted to do it with my friends. track and field was not my first love, soccer was. all my friends were doing softball, so i signed up.

my mom had another idea. you know about black households. you don't get to talk back. she had made that decision for me. she said, track and field. she signed me up. i showed up to present that first day, and i never looked back. >> you're welcome, baby girl. [ cheers and applause ] always listen to your mother. >> rupaul: oh my gosh, oh my gosh. so, what advice would you have for up-and-coming athletes who really want to emulate your success? >> i would say that it's really important to put yourself in uncomfortable situations. to push yourself and challenge yourself and put yourself in environments where people are better than you. and you might have self-doubt, you might have moments where your confidence feels shaky, but that means that you're doing something right. so you keep working, you keep pushing, and the sky's the limit. [ cheers and applause ] >> rupaul: i love that. i love that. that's beautiful. yeah. wow. 2028. so obviously you're going to be

training until 2028. but what else are you doing? what do you have your eye on? acting or sportscasting or what else interests you? >> right now, i'm really interested in health care. before i became a professional track athlete, i was studying neuro biology at harvard, and i wanted to go to medical school. [ cheers and applause ] >> rupaul: wait a minute, you were studying neuro biology at harv harvard? >> i was, yes. and then track and field kind of had other plans for me. so when i moved to austin, i got my master's in public health at the university of texas. and now i work at a volunteer health care clinic in austin, texas. [ cheers and applause ] >> rupaul: you have a master's degree? [ cheers and applause ] a master's degree. it's amazing. i -- i -- the world's got to look out for you, because you are something special. >> thank you. >> rupaul: thank you, gabby, for everything. [ cheers and applause ] and from america, thank you.

because the system that's supposed to fix things is the problem. record budgets. fewer officers. business killing bureaucracy. the insiders won't change a system built for their benefit. i'm daniel lurie and san francisco needs a mayor unafraid to take on the status quo, bring accountability, and stop the excuses.
