7:02 pm
think about that. think about that for a moment. donald trump who wants fob presidents of the united states is asking one of our adversaries to engage in hacking or intelligence efforts against the united states of america to affect his election. as someone who was responsible for protecting our nation from cyberattacks, it is inconceivable to me that any presidential candidate would be that irresponsible. cesay this out of a firm concern for the future of my children and my grandchildren.

7:05 pm

7:06 pm

senior citizen who hopes for a dignified retirement with health care and research to end diseases like alzheimer's; for every american who wants our country to be a beloved community, where people aren't demeaned because of who they fe, but rather respected for their contributions to this nation, and for all of us who know the brightest future for our country is the one we build together; and for my friend hillary clinton, i humbly accept my party's nomination to be vice president of the united states. [ cheering and applause ]
7:09 pm
can i -- can i be honest with you about something? can i be honest with you about something i never expected to be here. but let me tell you how it happened. i was born in minnesota and grew up in kansas city. my folks weren't much into politics. my dad ran a union ironworking shop. in the stock yard. my mom was his best salesman. my two brothers and i pitched in to help during summers and on weekends.
7:10 pm
that's how small family businesses work. my parents, al and kathy, taught me about hard work, and about kindness, and, most importantly, faith. i went to a jesuit boys high school - rockhurst high school. that's a big line for the jesuits. we had a motto "men for others" and it was there that my faith became something vital. minority star for orienting my life. and i knew that i wanted to battle for social justice. like so many of you, like so many of you. that's why i took a year off law school to volunteer with jesuit missionaries in honduras. i taught kids welding and carpentry.
7:11 pm
aprendií los valores del pueblo- fe, familia, y trabajo. faith, family, and work. faith, family, and work. los mismos valores de la comunidad latina aquií en nuesto pais. somos americanos todos. [ cheering and applause ] somos americanos todos. let me tell you what really struck me there. i got a first-hand look at a different system, a dictatorship. where a few people at the top had all poe power and everyone else got left out. it convinced me that we've got to advance opportunity for everybody, no matter where you come from how much money they have, what
7:12 pm
they look like, how they worship, or who you love. back in 1970, in virginia, the republican governor linwood holton believed exactly the same thing. he integrated virginia's public schools, so black and white kids could finally learn together, and then the family enrolled their own kids, including his daughter, anne, in those integrated inner-city schools. many years later anne went off to college and she brought those lessons from that pivotal time with her. then one day, in a study group, she met this goofy guy who had been off teaching kids in honduras. well, anne and i have now been married for almost 32 years, and i am the luckiest husband in the world.
7:13 pm
let me tell you something, anne's parents, lin and jinks, are here today, 90-plus and going strong. 90-plus and going strong. linwood holton is still a republican. but he's voting for a lot of democrats these days. here's why. he's voting for democrats because any party that would nominate donald trump for president has moved too far away from his party of lincoln. [ applause ] i tell you, if any of you are looking for that party of lincoln, we've got a home for you right here in the democratic party.
7:14 pm
[ cheering and applause ] linwood's example helped inspire me to work as a civil rights lawyer. over 17 years, i took on banks and landlords, real estate firms and local governments, anyone who treated people unfairly - i had a six-year case against an insurance company that was discriminating against minority neighborhoods all across america in issuing homeowners' insurance. democratic friends, these are the battle, is that i have bought my entire life. and that's the story of how i decided to run for office. my city of richmond was divided and discouraged. in the early 1990s. we had an epidemic of gun
7:15 pm
violence overwhelmed our low income neighborhoods. people were pointing fingers and casting blame instead of finding answers. i couldn't stand it. so i ran for city council. i won that first race, more than 20 years ago, by landslide margin of 94 votes. and i've said ever since - if i'm good at anything, it's because i started at the local level, listening to people, learning about their lives and trying to get results. i see a mayor here who knows what i'm talking about. later, i became mayor of richmond, lieutenant governor, and then the 70th governor of virginia. i was a hard-times governor, i had to steer my state through the
7:16 pm
deepest recession since the 1930's. but tough times don't last - tough people do. san i tell you that virginians are tough people. we are tough people. and we're smart, too. we achieved national recognition for our work - best managed state, best state for business, best state for a child to be raised, low unemployment, high median income. we shed tears along the way we shed tears in the days after that horrible mass shooting a virginia tech that killed 32 people from beautiful 19-year old students to 70-plus year old romanian born holocaust survivors and we shed tears and held each other up. but afterwards we rolled up our sleeves and we fixed the loophole in the background record check system so that we could make our commonwealth
7:17 pm
safer. and we got to do that in the nation. we invested in our people, expanding pre-k and higher education, because education was the key to all we wanted to be. all we want to be. now i have the honor of serving in the senate. i work on the armed services and n reign relations committees to sep us safe at home and strong in the world. i work on the budget committee with our great democratic lead leader, bernie sanders!
7:18 pm
and everybody we all should feel the bern we all should not want to get burned by the other guy. [ cheering and applause ] on that budget committee under bernie's leadership we fight for investments in education, health care, research, and transportation. and i also serve on the aging committee, making sure that seniors like my folks have secure retirement ynd don't get targeted by rip-off artists who will scam them out of their savings or overcharge them for prescription drugs. can i tell you a funny thing
7:19 pm
about the senate. that sounds like a yes. i spend a lot of time with republican senators who, once they've made sure nobody's listening, will tell you how fantastic a senator hillary clinton was. [ applause ] now, look, this journey that i've told you about has convinced me over and over again, that god has created a rich tapestry in this country - an incredible cultural diversity that succeeds when we embrace everyone in love and battle back against the dark forces of division. we're all neighbors and we must love our neighbors as ourselves.
7:20 pm
hillary clinton and i are compañeros del alma. we share this belief: do all the good you can. and serve one another. pretty simple. that's what i'm about. that's what you're about. that's what bernie sanders is about. that's what joe and jill biden is about. that's what barack and michelle obama are about. and that's what hillary clinton is about.
7:21 pm
7:22 pm
teenager. in good times and bad, in victory and defeat, in and out of office, through hell or high water. fighting for underprivileged kids working at the children's und.nse fund. fighting to get health insurance for 8 million low-income kids when she was first lady. fighting for the well-being of women and girls around the world. can i offer you a little tip? when you want to know something onout the character of someone in public life, look to see if they have a passion, one that began before they were in office, and that they have consistently held on to throughout their career. do they have a passion? did it start before they were in office? have they held on to it
7:23 pm
consistently. folks, hillary has a passion for kids and families. donald trump has a passion too: it's himself. with hillary it's not just words it's accomplishments. she delivers. as senator, after 9/11, she battled congressional republicans to care for the first responders who went to the tower and pentagonnd and saved the victims of those terrorist attacks. as secretary of state, she implemented tough sanctions against iran to pave the way for a diplomatic breakthrough that curtailed a dangerous nuclear weapons program. she wasn't afraid.
7:24 pm
she wasn't afraid. she wasn't afraid to stand up against thugs and dictators and as a key part of the obama national security team that decided to go to the ends of the earth to wipe out osama bin laden. [ cheering and applause ] hey, do ya'll remember karla, the little girl we heard from on monday night who feared her parents would be deported? carla said, she trusts hillary to keep them together. and do you remember the mothers of the movement we heard from last night? they said they trust hillary to keep other mothers' sons and daughters safe.
7:25 pm
and on a personal level, as he's serving our nation abroad, i trust hillary clinton with our son's life. [ cheering and applause ] now, you know who i don't trust? i wonder. donald trump. donald trump. srump is a guy who promises a lot. but you might have noticed, he he's got a way of saying the same two words every time he makes his biggest, hugest promises. "believe me." it's gonna be great - believe me! we're gonna build a wall and
7:26 pm
make mexico pay for it - believe me! we're gonna destroy isis so fast - believe me! there's nothing suspicious in my tax returns - believe me! [ cheering and applause ] in the way, does anybody in that atssive auditorium believe that donald trump has been taking his fair share of taxes n. >> does anybody here believe that trump ought to release his tax returns just like every other presidential candidate in modern history? d cheering and applause ] of course he should. donald, what are you hiding?
7:27 pm
and yet he still says, "believe me." "believe me" believe me? believe me? i mean, here's the thing. most people, when they run for president, they don't just say "believe me." they respect you enough to tell you how they will get things done. that's what most people who run for president do. in fact, you can go to hillaryclinton.com right now and find out exactly how she'll make the biggest investment in new jobs in generations, and how she'll defend and build on wall street reform. you can see how she'll reform our immigration system and eaeate a path to citizenship, and how she'll make it possible to graduate from college debt-free. you can see how she'll guarantee
7:28 pm
equal pay for women and make paid family leave a reality. all it takes is one click. ckl it takes is one click. and we can see how she'll do it, how she'll pay for it and how we'll benefit. not donald trump. not donald trump. he never tells you how he's going to do any of the things he says he's going to do. he just says, "believe me." so here's the question. do you really believe him? donald trump's whole career says you better not. small contractors, companies just like my dad's, believed him when he said that he'd pay them to build a casino in atlantic city.
7:29 pm
they did the work, hung the drywall, poured the concrete. but a year after opening, trump filed for bankruptcy. he walked away with millions. they got pennies on the dollar. some of them went out of business. all because they believed donald trump. retirees and families in florida they believed donald trump when he said he'd build them condos. thousands of them. they paid their deposits, but the condos were never built. he just pocketed their money, and walked away. they lost tens of thousands of dollars, all because they believed donald trump. charity after charity believed donald trump when he said he would contribute to them. and thousands of trump university students believed donald trump when he said he
7:30 pm
would help them succeed. they got stiffed. he says "believe me." well, his creditors, his contractors, his laid-off employees, his ripped-off students did just that. they all got hurt. folks, you cannot believe one word that comes out of donald trump's mouth. not one word. not one word. and i'll tell ya, to me, it just
7:31 pm
seems like our nation it is just too great to put it in the hands of a slick-talking, empty-promising, self-promoting, one man wrecking crew. don't take it from me. take it from former first lady barbara bush. barbara bush said she doesn't know how any woman could vote for him after his offensive comments about women, any woman. or john mccain's former economic advisor, who estimates trump's america 3.5 million jobs. or the independent analysts that
7:32 pm
found trump's tax plan, a gift to the wealthy and big corporations, would rack up $30 trillion in debt. or how about this, how about this. john kasich, the republican governor who had the honor of hosting the republican convention in cleveland but wouldn't even attend it because he thinks donald trump is such a moral disaster. [ cheering and applause ] or take it from the guy who co-wrote trump's autobiography. here's what he said about trump, quote, lying is second nature to him. so, do you believe him? how about on this side. do you guys believe him? do you guys believe him?
7:33 pm
is there anyone in this building who believes him 1234 the next president will face many challenges. we better elect the candidate who's proven she can be trusted with the job. pre candidate who's proven she's ready for the job. and when i say "ready" i use ready for a very specific reason. when i lived in honduras, i learned that the best compliment you could give someone was to say they were "listo"- ready. not "inteligente"- smart. not "amable"- friendly. not "rico" - rich. but "listo." because what "listo" means in
7:34 pm
pranish means prepared, battle-tested, rock-solid, up for anything, never backing down. and friends, hillary clinton is "lista." she's ready because of her faith. she's ready because of her heart. she's ready because of her experience. she's ready because she knows in america we are stronger when we are together. my fellow democrats, this week we begin the next chapter in our great and proud story. thomas declared all men equal, and abigail remembered the women. woodrow brokered the peace, and eleanor broke down barriers.
7:35 pm
jack told us what to ask, and lyndon answered the call. martin had a dream, cesar y dolores said si se puede, and harvey gave his life. bill bridged a century, and barack gave us hope. and now hillary is ready. she's ready to fight, ready to win, and she's ready to lead. got bless on to -- god bless all of you. on to victory. and thank you, philadelphia! [ cheering and applause ] >> pelley: tim kaine, senator of virginia introducing himself to this country. a man who needs no introduction to virginia, he has won every election he has ever run.
7:36 pm
city government, state government, federal government. he has never lost a race. gale skin down on the convention floor with the delegates. >> king: i'm here, tim kaine just said, tough people last. i was talking with virginia delegates they said tim kaine is tough. he was so excited for him tonight. they describe him as man of integrity, told the country exactly what they needed to hear tonight. every time he spoke spanish they went crazy. every time he spoke of donald trump they went crazier and loved when he praised hillary. people were most excited to hear from president barack obama, delegate from north carolina said something i thought was really cute. she said, i sure hope he does his lovely wife proud. we will see. scott, back to you. >> o'donnell: that will be a competition because as joe biden
7:37 pm
said, you know who gave the best speech of this conference was michelle. er know barack obama after hearing that speech stayed up until 3:00 a.m. writing his own speech. john dickerson, what do you think of this speech by governor kaine? >> dickerson: wells barack obama was telling that he was trying out his donald trump impersonation. tim kaine did several impersonations. what was interesting was when he was testifying to the trust factor. we know that is the under tone, the big question. who find her not trustworthy. he mentioned he felt that key trust her with his son's life. his son is with nato. i thought that was an interesting line. in addition to donald trump, he also talked about again we hear this constant, republicans who are out of step with donald trump. first he talked about his father in law, saying that he didn't
7:38 pm
have place in the republican party any more. even though he still was a republican. then quoted barbara bush earlier tonight, john mccain was mentioned. so, 24 is just a continuing theme of calling out republicans who were out of step with donald trump. >> o'donnell: that's right. it was i can ordinary to hear tim kaine who is bilingual, which is familiar frein among labor unions and she's is lisat, ready, to be president of the united states. that is outreach. outreach to the fastest growing demographic, hispanics. >> pelley: having learned spanish while he was catholic missionary in honduras and living with honduran people. and their families. understandably. there was one speaker today who was not a democrat. he was the former mayor of new york, michael bloomberg. he used to be a democrat but he left the party 16 years ago and
7:39 pm
7:51 pm
,,,,,,,,,,,,,, philadelphia with norah o'donnell our continuing coverage of the democratic national convention. this hall, which is filled to the rafters in fact the fire marshal had to close off the floor because there were too many people in here. this hall is now watching a film about president obama as we geait him to take the stage in the next couple of minutes. john dickerson is down by the podium for us. >> dickerson: scott, one, reminding everything in the hall why they love barack obama. but it is a systematic tour through his presidency. a lot of dark moments, a lot of difficult momentsa lot of issuee president by himself. but also about what the job requires. that job requires, we've heard the theme all night, someone who
7:52 pm
has a level temperament. we'll hear from barack when he speaks. one other thing when we talk to president obama this weekend, he talked about passing bat ton. this is the baton passing moment. where he hands off to hillary clinton. >> o'donnell: john, thank you so much. you know, charlie, it's interesting to see convention celebrate an incumbent president. >> rose: jimmy carter was not celebrated. al gore trying to -- >> rose: the interesting thing about this film and president obama, he is sometimes viewed as detached. what they're showing is someone very connected and emotional. >> pelley: it was 12 years ago on this very night that a state senator from illinois burst on to the national political scene, barack obama, making the keynote address at
7:53 pm
the democratic convention in boston. >> o'donnell: this may now be barack obama's last big speeches. >> schieffer: i interviewed him on the sunday before he made that speech. i'll never forget. >> pelley: here now is the president of the united states with his last speech at the democratic national convention as president. [ cheering and applause ]
