7:03 pm
well we're listening. and you said you feel that bernie sanders supporters are being disrespectful. >> i think it's great to cheer for your champion but i don't feel it's great to boo and i don't feel it's a good idea to appropriate the signs of true oppression for this purpose. the woman back there with the tape over her mouth that says silence. no one silenced her. she white. she is privileged. she here. she voted. she was part of the process to elect dem gates and got herself elected. whenever a vote comes up she can vote. no one has silenced her. and when there are millions of people worldwide who are truly oppressed who have been silenced

7:05 pm
7:06 pm
you know, it's hashed to believe that it has been eight years since i first came to this convention to talk with you about why i thought my husband should be president. remember how i told you about his character and conviction? his decency and his grace, the traits that we have seen every day that he served our country in the white house. i also told you about our daughters, how they are the heart of our hearts, the center of world. and during our time in the white house we have had the joy of watching them grow from bubbling young girls into young women. a journey that arrived soon after we arrived in washington. >> the day after they set off
7:07 pm
to their first day in school. i will never forget that day that i watched our girls, 7 and 10 years old pile into those blark suvs w. those men and guns and i saw their little faces pressed up against the window and i only thing i could think was, what have we done? because at that moment, i realized that our time in the white house would form the foundation for who they would become and how well we managed this experience could truly make or break them. that is what be right back and i think every day as we try to guide our girls every day through the challenges of this unusually life in the spotlight. how we urge them to ignore those who question their father's citizenship or faith. [cheering] how we insist that the hateful
7:08 pm
language they hear from public figures on tv does not represent the true spirit of this country. [cheering] how we explain that, when someone is cruel or acts like a bully, you don't stoop to their level. no, our motto is when they go low, we go high. [cheering] with every word we utter, with every action we take, we know our kids are watching us. we, as parents, are their most important role models. and let me tell you, be right back and i take the same approach to our jobs as president and first lady because we know our words and actions matter not only to our girls but to the kids across the country, kids that tell us, i saw you on tv, i wrote a reported on you for school.
7:09 pm
kids like the little black boy who looked up at my husband, his we eyes wide with hope and he wondered, is my hair like yours? and make no mistake about it, this november when we go to the polls, that is what we're deciding -- not democrat or rfn, not left or right. no, in this election and every election, is about who will have the power to shape our children for the next four or eight years of their lives. [cheering] and i am here tonight because, in this is election, there is only one person who i trust with that responsibility. only one person who i believe is truly qualified to be president of the united states and that is our friend, hillary clinton. [cheering]
7:10 pm
>> see, i trust hillary to lead this country. because i have seen her life long devotion to our nation's children. not just her own daughter who she has raised to perfection, but every child who needs a champion. kids who take the longs way to school to avoid the gang. kids who wonder how they will ever afford college. kids who whose parents don't speak a word of english but look ahead to a better life, kids that look to us to determine who and what they can be. see, hillary has spent decades to do the work to make a
7:11 pm
difference in their lives. advocating for kids with disabilities as a young lawyer, fighting for children's health care as first lady, and for quality child care in the senate and when she didn't win the nomination eight years ago. she didn't get angry or dis illusioned. hillary did not pack up and go home. because as a true public servant , hillary knows that this is so much bigger than her own desires and disappointments. so she proudly stepped up to serve our country once again as second of state, traveling the
7:12 pm
globe to keep our kids safe. and look, therein plenty of moments hillary could have decided this work was too hard, that the price of public service e. service was too hard, that she was tired of pick e. being picked apart because of how she looks or how she laughs. but here is the thing. what i admire most about hillary is that she never buckles under pressure. she never takes the easy way out and hillary clinton has never quit on anything in her life. he. [cheering] and when i think about the kind of president i want for my girls and all of our children, that's what i want. i want someone with the proven
7:13 pm
strength to persevere. someone who knows this job and takes it seriously. someone who understands that the issues of president are not black and white and cannot be boiled down to 140 characters. easy because when you have the nuclear codes at your finger continuous and the military in your command, you can't make snap decisions. you can't have a thin skin or a tendency to lash out. you need to be steady and measured and well informed. i want a president with a record of public service. someone whose lifework shows our children that we don't chase
7:14 pm
fame and fortune for ourselves; we fight to give everyone a chance to succeed. and we give back, even when we're struggling ourselves because we know that there is always someone there when we're soft and there, but for the grace of god, go i. i want a president who will teach our children that everyone in this country matters. a president who truly believes in the vision that our founders put forth all of those years ago , that we are all created equal, each a beloved part of the great american story. and when crises hits, we don't turn against each other. no, we listen to each other. we lean on each other. because we are always stronger together. and i am here tonight because i
7:15 pm
know that that is the kind of president that hillary clinton will be, and that's why, in this election, i'm with her. chawrs chawrs. [ cheers and applause ] >> you see, hillary understands that the president is about one thing and one thing only. it's about leaving something better for our kids. that's how we have always moved this country forward, by all of us coming toke on watch of our children. folks who volunteered to coach that team, to teach that sunday school class, because they know it takes a village. heros of every color and creed who wear the uniform and risk their lives to keep fastened down those blessings of liberty,
7:16 pm
the police officers and the employee testers in dallas who all desperately want to keep our children safe. people who lined up in orlando to donated blood because that koch been their son or their daughter in that club. leaders like tim contain. tim kaine. who show our kids what decency and devotion look like. leaders like hillary clinton, who have the guts and the grace to keep coming back and putting those cracks in that highest and hardest glass ceiling until she finally breaks through, lifting all of us along with her. that is the storey of this country.
7:17 pm
the story that has brought me to the stage tonight. the story of generations of people who felt the lash of bond age, the shame of servitude, the sting of segregation, but who kept hoping and doing what needed to be done so that today, i wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves. and i watch my daughters, two beautiful and intelligent black young women plating with their dog on the white house lawn. and because of hillary clinton, my daughter and all of our sons and daughters now take for
7:18 pm
granted that a woman can be president of the united states. [cheering] you so don't let anyone ever tell you that this country isn't great, that somehow we need to make it great again. because this right now is the greatest country on earth displ.d. [cheering] and as my daughters prepare to set out into the world i want a leader who is worthy of that truth, a leader who is worthy of my girls' promise and a leader who will be guided every day by
7:19 pm
the love and hope and impossibly big dreams that we all have for our children, so in this election we cannot sit back and hope that everything works out for the best. we cannot afford to be tired or frustrated or cynical. no, hear me. between now and november, we need to do what we did eight years ago and four years ago -- we need to knock on every door, we need to get out every vote, we need to pour every last ounce of our passion and our strength and our off for this country into electing hillary clinton as president of the united states of america. so let's get to work. thank you all! and god bless. >>
7:20 pm
>> michelle observe in a packed house, 20,000 seats. it doesn't look like there's a vacant seat anywhere. >> and michelle obama, not mention being the name of donald trump. and as she said, don't let anyone tell you this country isn't great. and she said i live in a house that slaves built. >> and now my daughters take it for granted my a woman can be president of the united states. >> norah, michelle obama delivered this speech and talked about donald trump's rhetoric, not by name but there was no mistake being it and she did it not as a politician or politician's wife but as a mother, a mother who has famous ly raised two young dlawrt ers in the public eye that are pretty poised.
7:21 pm
and when she said that her two daughters now now that they have been president because of hillary clinton, not only did i see attention in the hall but there were a lot of moist eyes too. >> let's go to john dickerson in the podium. >> this is everything that convention planners have pawkd talked about, in that there's togetherness and standing together and not alone. testifying as michelle obama did for hillary clinton and saying that she she had worked as an advocate for children. and he did not name donald trump by name but the biggest part of her speech was the optimism and the entire part of the speech is america is a great place and michelle obama was sassing and my family is proof of that. >> still ahead, charlie rose will be with us and senator bernie sand service getting red to speak later. >> before that the keynote
7:22 pm
address from senator elizabeth warren. >> earthquakes coverage of the democratic national convention continues in a moment. >> only oneperson i believe is qualified to be president of the united states and that is our friend hillary clinton! >> to america, we will rise! ♪ before it became a medicine, it was an idea. a wild "what-if." so scientists went to work. they examined 87 different protein structures and worked for 12 long years. there were thousands of patient volunteers and the hope of millions. and so after it became a medicine, someone who couldn't be cured, could be. me. ♪
7:23 pm
7:24 pm
campaign manager for hillary clinton plate earlier. >> i want to talk about this speech. if she wanted to be a candidate, this would be the kind of speech that might do for her what 2004 did for her husband. it is what she is most connected to, her children and looking at families. and she talked about hillary clinton. that's and now they're bringing on elizabeth warren. she talked talked about what was important to her, her children. and that is a great point. >> here is the keynote speaker tonight, united states senator elizabeth warren, massachusetts. >> thank you. thank you. thank you, joe. and thank you, massachusetts for the brave honor of serving as your senator. thank you guys.
7:25 pm
what a night! wow! michelle obama? cory -- and we still have bernie coming up! >> [applause] of bernie reminds us what democrats fight for every day. thank you, person bernie. thank you. [applause] now, we are here tonight because america face's choice. the choice of a new president. on one side is a man who inherited a fortune from his father, who kept it going by cheating people, by skipping out on debt, a man who has never sacrificed anything for anyone, who man who cares only for himself, every minute of hear
7:26 pm
day. on the other side is one of the smartest, toughest, most tenacious people on this planet, a woman who fights for children, for women, for health care, for human rights, a woman who fights tore for all of us and who is strong enough to win those fights. we're here today because our choice is hillary clinton. i'm with hillary. i'm with hillary. i'm with hillary. you know, for me, this choice is personal. it's about who we are as a people. it's about what kind of a country we want to be. i grew up in oklahoma. my daddy ended up as a maintenance man and my woman
7:27 pm
worked a minimum wage job at sears. my three brothers worked in the military, and 288 combat mission s in vietnam. the second worked construction and the third opened his own small business. me, i got married at 19, graduated from a community college in texas that cost $50 a semester. the way i see it i'm a janitor's daughter that became a public schoolteacher, a professor and united states senator, and america is truly a country of opportunity. truly: i am deeply grateful to that america, and i believe in that america. but i'm worried. i'm we'red my story is lost in the past, worried that opportunities is slipping away for people who work hard and
7:28 pm
play by the rules. look around, americans bust their tails, some working two or three jobs, but wages stay flat. meanwhile the basics cost is making it month to month keeps going up, housing, health care, child care, the costs are out of site. young people are crushed by student loans. seniors can't stretch a social security check that covers basics. and even family whose are ok today worry it could all fall apart tomorrow. this is not right. it is not. >> and here is the thing. america isn't going broke. the stock market is breaking records. corporate prochtds are at an all-time high. c.e.o.'s make tens of millions of dollars.
7:29 pm
there's lots of wealth in america. but it is not trickling down to hard working families like yours does anyone here have a problem with that? yeah, well, i do, too. penal get it. the system is rigged. you know -- it's true. now so far, the experts claim america is in trouble because both political parties in washington refuse to compromise. gridlock. that is just flat wrong. washington works great for those at the top. when giant comes wanted more tax loop holes, week got it done. when huge energy companies wanted to tear up our environment, washington got it done. when enormous wall street banks
7:30 pm
wanted new regulate fore loopholes, washington got it done. no gridlock there. but try to do anything for work working people and you will have a fight fight on your hands. democrats have taken on those fights. that's what we do. democrats fought to get health insurance for more americans. democrats fought for a strong consumer agency so big banks can't cheat people. we fought. we won. and we improved the lives of millions of people. thank you, barack obama. yes, we won. but republicans and lobbyists battled us every step much the way. five years later, that consumer
7:31 pm
agency that returned $11 billion to families who were cheated. and republicans, republicans, they're still trying to kill it. now look -- i'm not someone who thinks republicans are always wrong and democrats are always right. there's enough blame to go around. but there is a huge difference between people fighting for a level plating field and the people fighting to keep the system rigged. look at quang since the republicans took over. democrats proposed refinancing student loans. and republicans, they said no. democrats proposed ending tax breaks for corporations that ship jobs overseas. and republicans, they said no. democrats proposed raising the minimum wage. and republicans, they said no.
7:32 pm
so to every republican in congress who said no, this november, the american people are coming for you. and where is donald trump? in all of these fights, not once did he lift a finger to help working people. and why would he? his whole life has been about taking advantage of that rigged system. time after time, he preyed on working people, people in debt, people who had fallen on hard times. he defrauded them and he has ripped them off.
7:33 pm
look at his history. donald trump said he wasn't excited for the 2008 housing crash that devastated millions of american families. because he thought it would help him scoop up more real estate on the cheap. donald trump set up a fake university to make money by cheating people and taking their life savings. dwrump goes on and on and on . . . about being a successful businessman but he filed business bankruptcy six times, always to protect his own money and fix the stick the vester and contractors with the bill. donald trump hired plumbers and painters and construction wrkers to do hard labor for his businesses. then he told them to take only a frack fraction of what he owed or fight his lawyers in court
7:34 pm
for years. (crowd booing). >> so what kind of a man acts like this? what kind of a man hopes for an economic crash that cost millions of americans their home and jobs and life savings? what kind of man clothe investors and cheats workers? well i will tell you what kind of a man. a man who must never be president of the united states! of. [cheering] never. and we've got the leaders to make it happen. hillary clinton and tim kaine. they're going to make it happen.
7:35 pm
donald trump knows that the american people are angry. a fact so obvious he can see it from the top of the trump tower. so now he is insisting that he and he alone can fix the rigged system. last week, donald trump spoke nor more than an hour on the biggest stage you have ever had. but other than talking about building a stupid wall, which will never get built -- [cheering] other than that wall, did you hear any actual ideas? did you hear even one solid proposal from trump for increasing income? or improving your kids'
7:36 pm
education? or creating even one single good paying job? but let's face it. donald trump has no real plans for jobs or college kids or for seniors, no plans to makes anything great for anyone except for rich guys like donald trump. just look at his ideas. donald trump wants to get rid of the federal minimum wage. donald trump wants to roll back financial regulations and turn wall street loose to wreck our economy again. and donald trump has a tax plan to give multi millionaires and billionaires like himself an arrange tax cut of $1.3 million a year. if you're struggling to put your kids through college and donald trump thinks he needs a million dollars tax break?
7:37 pm
trump's entire campaign is just one more late night trump infomercial. hand over your money, your jobs, you were children's future and the trump hot air machine will reveal all of the answers. and for one low price he will even throw in a goofy hat! and here is the really ugly under side to his pitch -- trump thinks he can win voteds by fanning the flames of fear and hate tread which turning neighbor against neighbor and persuading you that the real problems in america is your fellow americans, people that don't look like you or talk like you or worship like you. he even picked a vice president
7:38 pm
famous for trying to make it legal to openly discriminate against guys and lesbians. that's trump's america -- an america of fear and hate, an america where we all break apart , whites against blacks and loofnts, straight against guy, everyone against illegal immigrants, race, religion, heritage, gender, the more park tions, the better. but ask you were self this. when white workers in ohio are pitted against black workers in north carolina or latino workers in florida, who really benefits? divide and conquer is an old story in america. dr. martin luther king knew it. after his march from selma to montgomery he spoke of how segregation was created to keep
7:39 pm
people divided. instead of higher wages fork for workers dr. king described how poor fights in the south were fed jim crow which told a poor white worker no bad how off he was, at least he was a white man instead of a black man. racial hatred was part of keeping the powerful man on top. when we turn on each other, bankers can run our economy nor wall street. oil companies with fight often clean energy and giant congratulations with ship the last jobs overseas. when we turn on each other, rich guys like trump can push through more tax breaks for themselves and we will never have enough money to support our future or invest in our kids' future. when we turn on each other we
7:40 pm
can't united to fight back against a rigged system. so i have got the news for donald trump, the american people are not falling for it. we have seen this ugliness before and we are not going to be donald trump's hate filled america -- not now, not ever! . this is about our values. about our shared values with our candidates hillary clinton and tim kaince. let's talk about those values. we believe that no matter who you are, no matter where you're from, no matter who you are, equal means equal.
7:41 pm
hillary will fight to make sure discrimination has no place in america. and we are with her. >> we believe that no one -- no one who works full-time should live in poverty. hillary will fight for raising the him minimum wage, paid family and medical leave, and we're with her! >> we believe every kid in america should have a chance for a great education without getting crushed by debt. hillary will fight for refinancing student loans and debt-free college. we are with her. >> and we believe that after a lifetime of hard work, seniors should be able to row tire with
7:42 pm
dignity. hillary will fight to expand social security, strengthen medicare and protect our retirement accounts and we're with her. >> we believe that oil companies shouldn't call the shots in washington, that science matters , that climate change is real. hillary will fight to preserve our earth for our children and grandchildren and we're with her we believe, and i can't believe i have to say this in 2016 -- in equal pay for equal work and a woman's right for control over her own body. hillary will fight for women.
7:43 pm
we believe we don't need weaker rules on wall street. we need stronger rules. when big banks get too risky, break them up. hillary will fight to hold big banks accountable and we're with her. and we're we believe that the united states should never, never sign trade deals that help giant corporations but leave workers in the dhirt. hillary will fight for american workers, and we're with her. and just one more. just one more. we believe he we must get big money out of flix -- out of
7:44 pm
application and hillary will fight to return the government to the people. if you you believe that america must work for all of us, not just for the rich and powerful, if you believe we must reject the politics of fear and division, if you believe that we are stronger together, then let's work our hearts out to make hillary clinton the next president of the united states! >> thank you. thank you. >> senator elizabeth warren. senator bernie sanders when we come back. when you don't get enough sleep... and your body aches... you're not yourself.

7:48 pm
>> [cheering] >> welcome back to philadelphia, already a big change with the first lady. and waiting for bernie sanders. >> this is supposed to be the great coming together, the unity , the contrast. it started out in kay yoses this morning of the democratic national committee, debby wasserman was outed and internal ly people worry throwing fits and he was demanding to be on in prime time. he will be on shortly. finally, he to do address his supporters. he sent an e-mail and said don't do it. every time he mentioned hillary clinton this was a word that was booed. now we're here and we're going to say what is going to happen: and i would say he is going to endorse her but the way our predictions are going lately, i
7:49 pm
would say he is probably -- >> gayle king is with the vermont delegation. gayle? >> gayle: i have to tell you they're still buzzing about michelle obama. i saw people get out of wheelchairs to give her applause that's how well she went over. i'm here with the senator leahy who. senator leahy, what does he need to do. >> it was a very impressive thing. we're not going to give her donald trump, any more than eight years ago we gave her a difficult because initially of course the hillary supports -- they said the supporters would never unite put they did because hillary brought them together. i think bernie is going to do
7:50 pm
the same thing. he ran a wonderful campaign. he knows -- his campaign wasn't -- >> he is coming on the stage. >> and here is senator bernie sanders of vermont who won 22 surface and 13 million votes in the primaries and caucus. >> bernie. thank you. [ cheers and applause ] thank you. clause. >> thank you.
7:51 pm
7:52 pm
7:53 pm
>> thank you very much! thank you. thank you. it is an honor to be here tonight and to be following in the footsteps of my good friend elizabeth warren. and to be here tonight to thank michelle obama for her incredible service to our country. she has made all of us proud let me begin by thanking the hundreds of thousands of americans who actively participated in our campaign and volunteers. thank you! [ cheers and applause ]
7:54 pm
let me thank the two and a half million americans who helped fund our campaign with an unprecedented 8 million individual campaign contributions. [ cheers and applause ] anyone know what that average i can say was? right. twenty-seven dollars. and let me thank you the 13 million americans who voted for the political revolution! [ cheers and applause ] giving us the 1,846 pledged
7:55 pm
7:56 pm
and let me offer a special thanks to the people of my own state of vermont who have sustained me and supported me the mayor, congressman, senator, and presidential candidate: and to my family, my wife jane, our four kids and seven grandchildren, thank you very much. i understand that many people here in this convention hall and around the country are
7:57 pm

7:59 pm
this election is not about and has never been about hillary clinton or donald trump or bernie sanders or any of the other candidates who sought the presidency. this election is not about political gossip. it's not about polls. it's not about campaign strategy it's not about fundraising. it's not about all of the things that the media spends so much time discussing. this election is about and must be about the needs of the american people and the kind of future we create for our
8:00 pm
children and our grandchildren. this is election is about ending the 40-year decline of our middle class. the reality that 47 million men, women and children today live in poverty. it is about understanding that if we do not transform our economy, our younger generation will likely have a lower standard of living than they parents. this election is about ending the grotesque end level of income and wealth in america today
