SOT Brian Wilson - "To this day we hold our own, after a nap of course." 6. Performance of "California Girls" BEACH BOYS MARCH TO A MILITARY BEAT Air Force officials at Kadena Air Base, Japan, threw open their gates for Americafest 2001, a gala celebration of American Independence Day. This year, the celebration at the largest U.S. Air Base outside of the United States included two days of military displays, food, game and information booths, as well as entertainers including the pop groups 98 Degrees and the Beach Boys. But the celebration was muted by news of an Air Force sergeant being implicated in the rape of a Japanese woman on the eve of the celebration. Air Force officials said they did not consider canceling the event because of the incident. On the same day of the concert, news also broke that original Beach Boys member Al Jardine is suing his former band mates for about $ 4 million, claiming they have excluded him from recent concerts. Jardine, 58, filed the lawsuit against Mike Love and Brian Wilson in Superior Court on Friday. Other defendants include the Carl Wilson Trust and Brother Records Inc., the corporate entity of the Beach Boys. "Jardine claims he has been frozen out of the Beach Boys," attorney Jeffrey Benice said Tuesday. Jardine also claims that Love promoted the current Beach Boys lineup as the "real" and "genuine" group. He says Love is the only original member. Jardine says he has had problems booking shows for his "Beach Boys Family and Friends" group. The Beach Boys' sunny vocal harmonies are one of the signatures sounds of the modern era. Among rock and roll groups of the Sixties, the California quintet place second only to the Beatles in terms of their overall impact on the Top Forty. They were the Fab Four's only serious competition on a creative level, too. Paul McCartney has admitted that the Beatles' masterpiece, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, was their attempt to rise to the challenge of the Beach Boys' magnum opus, Pet Sounds (which itself was inspired by the Beatles' first self-contained album, Rubber Soul). This creative dialogue between the two biggest bands of the Sixties pushed rock and roll to its artistic apex. The Beach Boys were largely a family affair that came together in the Los Angeles suburb of Hawthorne, California, in 1961. Three brothers, Brian, Carl and Dennis Wilson were joined by their cousin, Mike Love, and a friend, Alan Jardine (who was replaced for a time by David Marks, before rejoining). Brian Wilson, who demonstrated an aptitude for music at an early age, was the group's leader, orchestrating their harmonies, writing the music, producing the recording sessions. One of the few undisputed geniuses in popular music, Brian possessed an uncanny gift for harmonic invention and complex vocal and instrumental arrangements. Initially, the magnitude of that genius was overlooked owing to the subject matter of the band's early hits, surfing, hot rods, girls. The Beach Boys' increasingly sophisticated harmonies and arrangements around this time owed to the fact that Brian quit touring with the band in December 1964 in order to work full-time on their recordings back home in California. While the Beach Boys were off touring behind their growing treasure chest of hit singles, Brian began work in January 1966 on Pet Sounds. He laboured over it nonstop for four months, enlisting a veritable orchestra of session musicians to help him chase the "pet sounds" he heard in his head. At the end, the Beach Boys returned to add their bouquet of voices to the finished instrumental tracks. Now recognized as an innovative classic, Pet Sounds sold poorly as an album, though it yielded a bounty of singles, including "Wouldn't It Be Nice," "God Only Knows" and "Sloop John B". Brian pressed on to his next project, "Good Vibrations," a "pocket symphony" (as Wilson described it) that packed an album's worth of ideas and production tricks into one song. "Good Vibrations" returned the Beach Boys to the top of the charts and added a new phrase to the pop-culture vocabulary. During the Seventies, the Beach Boys became an in-demand touring act whose popularity soared as the rock audience rediscovered all the old hits, which had come and gone so quickly in the previous decade. Capitol Records' release of Endless Summer, a double-LP greatest-hits collection, surprisingly streaked to the top of the album charts, and the Beach Boys were suddenly hot all over again. Subsequently, the band has intermittently released new albums and toured like clockwork every summer while making headlines for various extracurricular mishaps: the accidental drowning death of Dennis Wilson in 1983; the legal battles over Brian's conservatorship between elements in the Beach Boys' camp and his control-oriented (and since-deposed) psychologist, Eugene Landy; and Mike Love's lawsuit against Brian, wherein he claimed to have coauthored certain Beach Boys songs credited to Brian alone. Burdened by these and myriad other subplots, the Beach Boys at time seemed to be rock and roll's longest-running soap opera. At the same time, they've been responsible for some of the most perfect harmonies and gorgeous melodies in rock and roll history.

At a memorial service, empty helmets placed on M-16 rifles stood in front of smiling photos of nine members of the 507th. On the upper right hand corner of each picture frame was draped a posthumously awarded Purple Heart. In California a Marine who was granted U.S. citizenship after he was killed in an Iraqi ambush was buried Friday with military honors. A bugler played "Taps" and a 21-gun salute accompanied the burial of Gunnery Sgt. Joseph Menusa, 33, at Santa Maria Cemetery in his wife's hometown. Menusa was born in the Philippines but immigrated when he was 10 and grew up in San Jose. A combat engineer assigned to secure oil fields, he was shot in the head on March 27 while accompanying an infantry unit on its first day in Iraq, family members said. Military families in Virginia also shed tears on Friday, but they were tears of joy. Hundreds of family members stood in the rain and fog Friday at Little Creek Naval Amphibious Base as the first East Coast-based Navy ship returned home from the war in Iraq. People waiting for the USS Portland carried bouquets of flowers, American flags, cameras and umbrellas. They cheered as the amphibious dock landing ship pulled into view. The ship returned earlier than planned because it needs repairs in its engineering plant, said a Navy spokesperson, adding that the ship did complete its mission by delivering combat Marines and equipment from the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade to Kuwait.

Kennedy SOTS: WX-PEET/DOING NOTHINGTRT 1:11OC: NOTHING HAS FAILED. 10:44:34 As an American and as a mom I'm ashamed that Congresswoman McCarthy's battle has been a lonely one, and I'm ashamed that despite the staggering number of gun related fatalities and injuries over the past 20 years, most of which don't make the headlines, gun violence is still not being discussed as a public health crisis. Some mass shootings like the one in Newtown wouldn't have been prevented even with a flawless system in place. Some street corner shooting and inner-city violence is going to continue even if we ban high-capacity magazines. Even with improvements to our nations mental health system our troubled few will slip through the cracks and if and when the CDC eases restrictions on firearm injury research, there will be a chorus of detractors who will say the data wasn't performed with unbiased scientific rigor. All that is true, but what's the alternative? Doing nothing will fail. Doing nothing has failed. To people who question the potential effectiveness and or practicality of these measures, to the people who say, "It would have happened anyway," or "We won't catch everybody," I say doing nothing has failed. 10:45:45 WX-NANCE/WORLD WITH GUNSTRT :10OC: NOT A PLAN. 10:49:52 The expectation is not that we will live in a world without guns but that we'll live in a world with guns, safely. Standing in the way of meaningful change is not a plan. 10:50:02 WX-NANCE/ALL TO HELPTRT :35OC: POWER TO HELP. 10:51:30 I'm a pediatric surgeon and a trauma surgeon. My career is unbelievably exciting and rewarding. One of the most difficult things to do each day is to face children who have been injured by firearms. Perhaps the most challenging aspect is to look in the eye of a distraught parent and say, "I'm sorry. I've done everything I could do, but it wasn't enough." I would urge our legislators to ask the question of themselves regarding gun violence. Whether they could look in the face of a parent and say, "I've done everything I can within my power to help." 10:52:05 WX-BENNETT/BAN ASSAULT WEAPONTRT :20OC: THANK YOU. 10:55:16 I still haven't gotten over Connecticut. I'd like the assault weapons to go to war, not in our own country, and I'd like assault weapons eliminated. Thank you. 10:55:36 WX-SMITH/FORTRESS SCHOOLSTRT :32OC: AND COMPROMISED PEOPLE. 11:01:09 We have two choices, either we are going to arm school officials and transform walls of learning into fortresses or we are going to keep our classrooms places that are full of openness, imagination and joy and safety. We can do the latter option if we have the will to act. Congress must now act on a sensible plan to keep assault weapons out of our neighborhoods, out of our schools and guns out of the hands of dangerous and compromised people. 11:01:41 WX-CHIPMAN/PLANE CHECKSTRT :25OC: CRAZY IT IS? 11:05:05 I think about after 9/11 we determined that, hey, the first thing we're going to do is we're not going to let terrorists walk on a plane. Can you imagine if after 9/11 someone's bright idea was to set up a system where we would screen 60% of the passengers and then allow 40% of them to just walk right on the plane. Who would have sat in a room like this and not just laughed at how crazy it is? 11:05:30 WX-ROCK/OBAMA DADTRT :19OC: ASS LATER ON. 11:07:04 The president of the United State is, you know, our boss. But he's also, you know, the president and the first lady are kinda like the mom and the dad of the country, and when your dad says something you listen. And when you don't it usually bites you in the ass later on. 11:07:23 WX-SCOTT/WE ARE BROKENTRT :30OC: PEOPLE ARE BROKEN. 11:08:12 These shootings are rapidly becoming part of our culture. Something you almost anticipate hearing about when you turn on your television or your computer. But this one, it was clear to me as it was to millions of others, if we as a people don't act after Sandy Hook then what's next? If we as a people don't act after Sandy Hook, then we as a people are broken. 11:08:42 WX-HAAS/VA TECH MOMTRT :28OC: AT SANDY HOOK. 11:10:01 Gun violence visited my family on the morning of April 16th, 2007 when I received a phone call from my daughter Emily, age 19 at the time. I answered my phone and Emily said, "Mommy, I've been shot." As the day went on we learned about the carnage at Virginia Tech that day; a massacre. A sheer massacre with similar numbers to what just happened at Sandy Hook. 11:10:29 WX-HAAS/FREE AMERICATRT :25OC: FROM GUN VIOLENCE. 11:13:15 We live in America. We should be free to go to the movie theater, the grocery store, elementary school, college, anywhere we choose. We should be free from gun violence. That is our right and that is our desire here today. To ask congress to give that right to every American, we all deserve to be free from gun violence. 11:13:40 WX-KENNEDY/ASSASSINATIONTRT 1:20OC: STOP THE VIOLENCE. 11:15:02 Much has been written about the work that his assassination left undone. An election he wanted to win, a war he wanted to stop, pain he wanted to soothe. And some of that work has been done and carried on by people like President Obama and others who share his quest, as he put it, "To tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of the world." My family and I are deeply grateful for the many kind words that have been written in memory of him and we take courage in knowing that so many people around the world have shared his vision for human rights and give themselves daily to achieve it but part of his unfinished work can never be completed by others. His work as a loving husband. His work as a father to me and to my 10 brothers and sisters. This is one of murders greatest cruelties. It leaves the work of love undone. It is almost impossible to describe the pain of losing your father to a senseless murder or the anger and fear of knowing that that murder might have been avoided if only our leaders had acted to stop the violence. 11:16:22 WX-JOHNS- GLAZE/NY MONEYTRT :33OC: THERE'S SOMEBODY WATCHING. 11:24:12 JOHNS: Mayor Bloomberg obviously has a lot of skin in this game. At least in the last election. How much money do you see him putting in to the next election and this effort in general? Is there a number out there? GLAZE: Well, it's one of the mayor's highest priorities. He spent about 10 million dollars in the last election and said he was putting his toe in the water. I guess we'll find out what the whole foot is worth. Those aren't my decisions, they are the mayors, but the mayor has said that he's going to support people who do the right thing and for people who don't, now there's somebody watching. 11:24:45 WX-BENNETT/BAD WAYTRT :49OC: VERY BAD WAY. 11:27:46 My own children were just told they will never have a gun. No guns in my house, not allowed. And I just believe that assault weapons were invented for war. They shouldn't be on our streets. It's the kind of turn that happened to the great country of Germany when nazis came over and created tragic things and they had to be told off. If we continue this kind of violence and we accept it in our country, the rest of the world's gonna really take care of us in a very bad way. 11:28:35 WX-GLAZE/MOVIE VIOLENCETRT :32OC: ALMOST ANYONE, ANYTIME. 11:29:10 If Hollywood is reevaluating the way it thinks and talk about gun violence that's appropriate. I think a lot of Americans are reevaluating how they think about this issue, but let me also point out that in the United Kingdom they watch American movies and they play American video games, exactly the same ones, and any given year about 30 to 50 people in the UK are murdered with a gun and in the United States between 11 and 12 thousand are killed with a gun. The difference is not movies or video games. The difference is that we make access to almost any gun available to almost anyone, anytime. 11:29:42 ROUGH LOG: 10:34:17 good morning. name is mike thompson congressman from napa valley chair of gun

there and it take responsible middle to put these forward and get on this pres desk to sight law and make community safer protect second amendment rights glaze 10:38:34 now more than 850 mayors working in every corner to advocate for common sense reform. we have mayors who are very different and only unified by respect for second amendment much more to keep guns out of wrong hands 10:39:23

tragedies and begin to make a difference. background checks, trafficking fed crime. huge step forward and something we should be proud of 10:42:40 takes courage for pres to step forward, courage for congressional leaders, those before you today stepping forward to take leadership. not an issue to speak out on 10:43:11 we've got to have that courage. giffords said be bold, be courageous, now is the time. couldn't be said better 10:43:30 thank you for work you've done in cal. what they did in cal protects second amendment sold over 600k firearms in cal. not a slippery slope to take guns away amanda pete 10:44:03 i was junior in college in 93 when heard about shooting on long island rail. heard story of struggle decision to tell son that father had been killed. hard to believe that was 20 years ago and we are having same discussion 10:44:45 ashamed over 20 years gun violence is still not being discussed as public health crisis. some not stopped even with flawless checks in place 10:45:10 even mental health a troubled through will slip through. there will be a chorus of detractors. doing nothing has failed. 10:45:37 to people who say it would happen anyway i say doing nothing has failed. sister practices internal med in philly. 500 gunshot victims per year. doesn't take into account mortalities. prohibited from asking patients about guns in homes 10:46:23 illegal for them to discuss guns. dr nance dir of trauma program as attending surgeon he brings expertise to level 1 trauma center in philly. examining firearms, injury and children. personal hero of mine nance

sandy hook and murdered 26 ppl. not a single child survived to receive medical care 10:48:03 as surgeon trained years for children not a single child alive to receive care 10:48:24 while assault rifles are responsible for few they are weapon of choice devastating weapons. place in civilian arsenal must be questioned 10:48:55 gun violence happens every day. affects communities large and small 10:49:11 we cannot simply chalk their deaths up to the cost of freedom because that is not freedom. 75k injured each year but survive. life long injuries. 10:49:39 we can not sidestep more challenging issues. guarantees of second amendment. live in a world with guns safely. standing in way of meaningful change is not a plan ****** 10:50:12 need a plan, need action and now is the time. i rely on date and judgment everyday. no less important on firearm injury. limited center for disease control federal studies for gun violence 10:50:53 fund cancer research 800 bill per year. thin line lower funding for firearms research 200 mill per year. about cost of latte per person 10:51:19 funding for firearms is negligible. pediatric and trauma surgeon one of most difficult thing to do each day is look in eye of distraught parent and say i'm sorry 10:51:55 urge legislators to ask question of themselves whether they can look into eyes of parent and say the same ****** barton 10:52:19 i work with mayors against illegal guns. didn't come to issue of my own choosing. was bicycling cross country started in va beach in search of middle america and rest of country we didn't get to experience 10:52:57 traveled through all diff cities. in aurora we really saw the worst. thankfully i survived, was wounded. one of friends also wounded. we were visiting friends. so felt compelled to get involved on this issue 10:53:40 really been discouraging. it's a lonely battle but there's something that gives me hope. something that i've learned through my trip. i saw, we have a lot of things that we don't agree on but there are many things that unite us. we care about family 10:54:20 this is not an issue that disagreement. many americans support. even though i saw differences that divide us. i know that we're united on this. encourage congress to pay attention to this fact. the variety of ppl standing behind me attest to that 10:55:06 we hope that it comes quickly bennett 10:55:18 still haven't gotten over ct. the assault weapons to go to war in our own country. i'd like assault weapons eliminated ****** boggs 10:56:09 we know this is more important than all features of world. why we are shocked when own children refugees. scarred and killed. each called to action. we cannot pause and wait for next tragedy 10:56:48 that's not good enough. not faithful behavior. called to action taken together. people whose live intertwined. we need to honor this. connections and caring far more important that some indiv prerogative weapon designed for battlefield 10:57:43 we are failing to take care of our children. this morning every child is at risk. demand a plan to fix that. regarding assault weapons. background checks. together we can make plan watching and waiting is not faithful behavior smith 10:58:28 honor to be here. thinking about what dr said. thinking about risks that rev just referred to. thinking about safety patrol in baltimore. it was a white. comes around here, goes across here. you can google this you'll see these badges 10:59:19 honor in 6th grade when bad skinny boys would have opp to take on responsibility of being safety patrol. was responsibility but honor. thinking about safety patrol 10:59:51 lovely young man john from wisconsin waiting for me southern hospitality way to hotel. i said did you have safety patrol and he said we didn't have any metal detectors. idea of safety being white band and badge to metal detectors. hour and a half to get there and same to get back 11:00:43 wisconsin boy back there talking about metal detectors 11:00:56 i think it is our job to do everything we can to make sure that classrooms are safe and that we have safe environment. fortresses or keep classrooms full of openness and joy and safety congress must now act on plan to keep assault weapons out of school and hands of dangerous ppl ********* david chipman 11:02:20 surrounded by a lot of courageous ppl. what it's really like to enforce laws on books. bad guy has already done something and we wait for trained brave ppl to risk lives to rescue child. one experience in portsmouth, va info violent felon many guns in house. looks like something off the wire 11:03:14 camera over door. and i was thinking i just got my whole team killed. i was going to die. me and my other teammates dove through window secured guns shook hands and went to work and did it again 11:03:47 for 3 weeks dug out bodies of secret service agents 19 child. took kids back to okc and they got to see their dad's picture. felt ashamed that as fed agent i couldn't prevent that. remember the first time they tried to bomb world trade 11:04:34 on issue of gun violence i look out there and see va tech, tucson, ft hood, aurora and now sandy hook and think when is our nation going to become as determined as we were on buildings. when is that day going to come? 11:05:08 first thing we are going to do is not let terrorists get on a plan. can you imagine if after 9/11 we would allow 40% to just get on a plane ******** 11:05:35 i can tell you where criminals get there guns. private seller i just buy it. no one in media covering that in va a high school senior can go in to mcdonalds parking lot and it's perfectly legal. it's true and so what i'm feeling now is why haven't we done something to stop this 11:06:20 any transaction to have background check. there will be other crimes. had to watch 9/11. gonna happen folks. we should do it today chris rock 11:06:49 i'm not going to say much. i think everybody else is better at this than me. just here to support president of united state. he is our boss but he's also the president and first lady are mom and dad of country 11:07:20 when your dad says something you listen and when you don't it bites you in the ass later. so here to support pres ****** adam scott 11:07:42 as father of 2 young children i was horrified and frightened by tragedy. felt helpless and wondering how we got here. these shootings becoming part of culture. but this one it was clear to me as it was to millions of others. if we don't act after sandy hook then what is next. if we don't act then we are broken ********* 11:08:46 proud to work for pres campaign. we are asking congress to follow pres lead and move. holding power to save lives all they have to do is pass sensible legislation. common sense. 74% of nra members. as supporter of 2nd amendment. i see writing on wall as plainly as you do. be bold, be courageous. let's put partisanship aside and help each other as americans haas 11:09:56 gun violence visited my family in 2007 when i received phone call from daughter. i answered my phone and she said mommy, i've been shot ****** 11:10:24 similar numbers to what has happened at sandy hook. difficult world in aftermath of shooting. emily survived 32 others killed 11:10:48 that day thrusts my fam into gun violence prevention. passionate. follow in footsteps of many other fighting this battle for years 11:11:09 stand here to suggest that some of comments around issue sound disingenuous. fear as 6 year old in classroom trying to figure out what is happening to them with gunman high magazine aiming at them. i would suggest that's fear not facing down the gun lobby 11:11:58 courage is doing the right thing. giffords journey in aftermath. standing in front of these cams. asking them to be bold when she is the epitome. my daughter surrounding my dead. hiding cell phone from killer. keeping police on line the whole time 11:12:42 i don't see this issue taking any courage it is merely doing the right thing. don't have problem facing down anyone. suggest and plead i do not and fam does not want to live in armed society. we live in america. free to go to movies grocery elementary school college. we should be free from gun violence. that is our right. give right to every american. we all deserve to be free from gun violence 11:13:54 my task force will have recommendations out in near future. reasonable solutions to protect people of this country. i'll answer any questions about task force. turn it over to anna smith kennedy 11:14:59 kennedy. 8 years old when gunned down. much written. election he wanted to win. some of work has been done by ppl like pres obama and those who share daddies quest. ***** 11:15:31 family deeply grateful and we take courage in knowing that so many have shared his vision for human rights but part of unfinished work can never be done by others. as loving husband and father to me. one of murders greatest cruelties ****** 11:16:08 almost impossible to describe pain of losing father. that murder might have been avoided if our leaders had acting. since my fathers assassination we have lost more than 1 mill 1600 since sandy hook. 1968 we mourned as nation but they also took action and passed gun control legislation when our nation needed it 11:17:03 surely we can pass gun control act for newtown and all of americans who had to die by gun before we took action. we need congress to ban assault weapons and large magazine 11:17:41 whether it is done in name of law attack of violence of response to violence. tear fabric of life the whole nation is degraded. we've endured enough pain and plead with congress please stop the violence 11:18:30 injustice anywhere is threat to justice everywhere. those are words of my father. many up here today have been talking about gun control for many years. it is sad that we had to lose children in newtown for our nation to talk about issue. glad that it is going to be addressed. group of people perhaps majority of americans want to see action taken and i feel very glad that some action will be taken. as you know 50 anniv of march on wash 11:19:40 they both dedicated their lives to eradication of violence. we accept it but when americans come together to act in civil way this legislation is first thing that needs to occur. it will be hopefully laws on books as it relates to assault weapons 11:20:27 i hope that one day we won't just be living in culture of violence that's accepted. we can must and will do better. when we roll up our sleeves and come together there is almost nothing we can't do cal teens 11:21:07 brooke brewer. honor to be with great people taken time to listen. made youtube video to demand a plan. more positive influences. did you know that date of cal has worst student to counselor ratio. don't need more guns we need more counselors. shouldn't have to focus on student with negative but all students 11:22:12 incidents like columbine there was not a positive change. more were taken from schools and put in jail 11:22:34 more comprehensive plan not more guns but more counselors 11:22:46 honor taking part in video 1.3 mill views. inspired by celebrities made their own video. gun violence isn't only way to prevent. schools will be safe when communities become safe 11:23:26 found la ymca welcome me to their door. today we are at critical point in nations history. i believe losing one life to gun violence is too many. please doing something today to make better future joe question bloomberg lot of skin in this game. how much money do you see him putting in to next election? glaze 11:24:31 one of highest priorities. mayor has said he will support people who do the right thing. not only the mayor. fantastic spokespeople for gun owners ******** 11:25:16 when you make lethal weapons less available we know that number of crimes in va with assault weapons migrated south rapidly. not perfect and subject of negotiation. is tougher this time. may be tougher to pass but have more effect bennett 11:26:19 i'm a pacifist. i'm very far out. against violence, war. there's always going to be wars. i believe that some day the world will become sane and realize ignorance of war because life is absolutely a gift. i just finished book gift we are blessed just to be alive. it is a tragedy that we go through tragedy except for hopefulness 11:27:43 we should care and make sure that own children were told that they would never have a gun. not allowed. assault weapons invented for war. it's what happened to great country of germany when nazis came over and created tragic things and were told off and if continue to accept this violence the rest of world will take care of us in bad way ****** 11:28:46 show rest of world how to behave 11:29:13 if hollywood reevaluating how they think about gun violence. uk plays same games and watch same movies. difference is not movie or video games. we make access to almost any gun to anyone ********* 11:29:47 one of issues that we working on is what you might think of as tucson problem. drug issues rejected by army. do not sell database. records were not in there. that is problem. many states not sending these records. expand background checks and ramp up incentives. 11:30:33 the entertainment thing is something i feel strongly about. seen line blurred and here to tell you that nothing you see on tv cannot compare to that. that's wrong conversation to have. it's the gun in this issue peet 11:31:09 i'm sure dr nance could speak more eloquently but brother in law has experience but somebody once said it's study of factors. if we don't have the data so that scientists can study relation between media violence and actual violence. hard to develop plan to prevent these tragedies. we can understand what is going on and have data to fall back on nance 11:32:20 the data that exists about correlation between games and movies more data needs to be gather but not clear correlation but analogy in diff between us and uk is powerful 11:33:21 to say ban was ineffective is disingenuous. glaze 11:34:09 the mayor wants to do what he can and he can do a lot but need chorus of voices to speak out not just by money in elections but need hunters and sportsmen and nra to come to congress and say it's okay you can do this. poll after poll take gun control out of question. with rights come responsibilities. my dad was gun dealer so this is who he was. dealers don't like black eye. diff on issue are much less significant than where we are together

there's every possibility that every single delegate will be there and, and wanting to be in their seats in the delegation.</p>\n<p>09:24:45;20</p>\n<p>So two things that means one is if you're a, a guest and uh if, if, if there's some uh person from another delegation, someone who's around and they're in the Wisconsin area.</p>\n<p>09:24:57;22</p>\n<p>If we start getting close to capacity, we will ask folks to move so that we have all Wisconsin delegates in those delegate seats.</p>\n<p>09:25:04;20</p>\n<p>Of course, we're happy to accommodate friends if there's, if there's open space, but we wanna make sure our delegates are in those spots.</p>\n<p>09:25:10;18</p>\n<p>And the second thing I'll say is that tonight and tomorrow night, uh the, the if for any guest that doesn't get their name pulled out of the box, the box and it wants to make sure they're watching the speeches.</p>\n<p>09:25:22;14</p>\n<p>There's a wonderful space with a, with a watch party that's happening every night.</p>\n<p>09:25:26;27</p>\n<p>In fact, it's open every day from noon until 10 p.m. And then until the, until the end of the convention, it's called into action and it is not far away.</p>\n<p>09:25:37;19</p>\n<p>It's at 2226 West Walnut Street.</p>\n<p>09:25:41;10</p>\n<p>So if you're looking for a place to gather with fellow Democrats and friends and you're a guest of this delegation, that's a great place to go.</p>\n<p>09:25:47;16</p>\n<p>They also have programming all day every day.</p>\n<p>09:25:49;12</p>\n<p>They have amazing speakers.</p>\n<p>09:25:50;22</p>\n<p>If they have an art exhibit, it's a really cool, a cool space and the cool thing if you haven't checked it out, so we'll send that information out, but wanted to make sure to flag that.</p>\n<p>09:25:58;13</p>\n<p>There are great places to watch the convention if you're not in the hall.</p>\n<p>09:26:01;14</p>\n<p>And if you are in the hall, it is, it is really an amazing, amazing experience.</p>\n<p>09:26:07;11</p>\n<p>Ok.</p>\n<p>09:26:08;20</p>\n<p>With all those uh pieces laid out, I am so thrilled.</p>\n<p>09:26:12;13</p>\n<p>To introduce our next speaker.</p>\n<p>09:26:14;02</p>\n<p>We talk a lot about how President Biden and Vice President Harris are leading the most pro union administration in the history of the United States of America.</p>\n<p>09:26:26;27</p>\n<p>They lead with their values.</p>\n<p>09:26:28;14</p>\n<p>They walk the walk, they walk the walk on picket lines, running a pro union pro worker administration because this party is anchored by our eternal core partner, the labor movement, it means having a policy, a Department of Labor, a leader in the Department of Labor who champions the voices and the fight of working people every single day.</p>\n<p>09:26:52;02</p>\n<p>And today she is bringing that championship directly here to the Wisconsin Democratic delegation breakfast.</p>\n<p>09:26:59;08</p>\n<p>Let's welcome Biden Harris Department of Labor Secretary, Julie Sue.</p>\n<p>09:27:09;07</p>\n<p>Yes.</p>\n<p>09:27:11;06</p>\n<p>Ok.</p>\n<p>09:27:17;16</p>\n<p>Hello, Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>09:27:21;14</p>\n<p>Hold on.</p>\n<p>09:27:22;01</p>\n<p>I just got to get a photo of what I get to see.</p>\n<p>09:27:24;03</p>\n<p>Just looking at all of you makes me very happy.</p>\n<p>09:27:28;23</p>\n<p>All right.</p>\n<p>09:27:29;10</p>\n<p>Thank you all so much.</p>\n<p>09:27:30;15</p>\n<p>I see that the cheese heads are either at the on the table or back in the hotel rooms, but it was awesome to see them last night.</p>\n<p>09:27:37;20</p>\n<p>Um So I'm so happy to be here with all of you as some of, you know, I am a daughter of Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>09:27:45;19</p>\n<p>I was born a badger born right in Madison.</p>\n<p>09:27:50;27</p>\n<p>So it's so good to be with all of you.</p>\n<p>09:27:53;08</p>\n<p>And of course, I'm here today in my personal capacity as a um a as original Wisconsinite.</p>\n<p>09:27:59;16</p>\n<p>Um And as somebody who is, could not be more excited about this moment that we are in and I don't need to tell Wisconsin Democrats how to get it done.</p>\n<p>09:28:07;27</p>\n<p>You guys are doing it every single day and I'm just so proud to watch it.</p>\n<p>09:28:13;00</p>\n<p>I'm so proud to cheer you on and I will see you all again in your home state.</p>\n<p>09:28:16;29</p>\n<p>But for today, I wanna say a little bit about another um daughter of Wisconsin, our next president, Kamala Harris.</p>\n<p>09:28:28;02</p>\n<p>So I was actually with her, um, one day, a couple of months ago when we were, we were both back in Wisconsin and we, she visited her, uh her original home as you may have seen.</p>\n<p>09:28:39;29</p>\n<p>And we all know that this is a candidate, a future president who represents the best of Wisconsin and the best of this country.</p>\n<p>09:28:50;05</p>\n<p>And I've known her for a little over a decade, about a dozen years because of our time together in California when she was the attorney general, I was the California labor commissioner, fighting to end wage theft, fighting to protect working people.</p>\n<p>09:29:06;03</p>\n<p>Thank you.</p>\n<p>09:29:06;22</p>\n<p>And we worked together.</p>\n<p>09:29:07;29</p>\n<p>Actually, we collaborated on combating wage theft on making sure the most vulnerable people in our communities knew that the government had an ally and had somebody on their side.</p>\n<p>09:29:18;09</p>\n<p>And that's the kind of person that Kamala Harris is right.</p>\n<p>09:29:20;16</p>\n<p>She's somebody who's gonna fight for people who aren't represented.</p>\n<p>09:29:23;05</p>\n<p>She's somebody who has taken on um, abusers on behalf of women in Children.</p>\n<p>09:29:28;12</p>\n<p>She's somebody who has protected, um, working people from abusive corporations and she's somebody who's fought for homeowners, um, against big banks.</p>\n<p>09:29:37;06</p>\n<p>And that's what I have seen in her, um, as my home state, us senator and what we have all gotten to see from her as our United States vice president.</p>\n<p>09:29:46;24</p>\n<p>And it's what's embodied in her opportunity that she seeks to build right a place where every child is going to um grow up and know that there's real opportunity um uh in which no child grows up in poverty uh in which we actually protect our communities and our climate.</p>\n<p>09:30:06;05</p>\n<p>And so you all know who she is and this is such an exciting time where we get to work to elect her.</p>\n<p>09:30:11;13</p>\n<p>I also wanna say something about the other guy.</p>\n<p>09:30:15;20</p>\n<p>Yeah, in a lot of elections, you've got somebody who's basically, you know, the incumbent party and then somebody who's the challenger, right?</p>\n<p>09:30:23;28</p>\n<p>And you don't really know exactly what they're gonna do when they get into office.</p>\n<p>09:30:29;10</p>\n<p>We know exactly what he's going to do when he gets into office because he's been there already, right?</p>\n<p>09:30:35;05</p>\n<p>We know what that looks like.</p>\n<p>09:30:36;16</p>\n<p>We all remember the, the, the sense of dread, the sense of anxiety if it wasn't about something he was gonna do to uh you know, in, in a policy way to make things worse for us.</p>\n<p>09:30:46;19</p>\n<p>It was though some way he was gonna embarrass us, uh, on the national stage or even the international stage.</p>\n<p>09:30:52;02</p>\n<p>And let's just be clear, someone with a record like his seeking to get that same job again.</p>\n<p>09:31:01;10</p>\n<p>Can you imagine anybody actually having done what they did in that job once getting the job again?</p>\n<p>09:31:09;26</p>\n<p>Right.</p>\n<p>09:31:10;20</p>\n<p>When you leave that job and there's fewer jobs in the country than when you got there.</p>\n<p>09:31:17;15</p>\n<p>Who says you get another chance, right?</p>\n<p>09:31:21;03</p>\n<p>When you were president during a global crisis and you not only had no idea what to do but denied that it was a crisis.</p>\n<p>09:31:29;19</p>\n<p>Do you get that job again?</p>\n<p>09:31:32;01</p>\n<p>I don't think so.</p>\n<p>09:31:33;13</p>\n<p>Right?</p>\n<p>09:31:34;16</p>\n<p>And when you spent the entire time that you were there stomping on demeaning, belittling women, do you get that job again?</p>\n<p>09:31:44;06</p>\n<p>I don't think so.</p>\n<p>09:31:45;29</p>\n<p>When you spent that entire time there rolling back the clock, turning back civil rights, denying voting rights.</p>\n<p>09:31:54;22</p>\n<p>Do you think you get that job again?</p>\n<p>09:31:57;12</p>\n<p>I don't think so.</p>\n<p>09:31:58;20</p>\n<p>So this man has said, look, I get to do what I want, right?</p>\n<p>09:32:01;20</p>\n<p>I get to make fun of Kamala Harris.</p>\n<p>09:32:03;02</p>\n<p>I get to say what I want because that's my way, folks, we have 76 days to tell him that his way is not our way.</p>\n<p>09:32:12;04</p>\n<p>It is not the Wisconsin way and it's not the American way and we're gonna get that done.</p>\n<p>09:32:19;13</p>\n<p>And you know, I am here in my personal capacity.</p>\n<p>09:32:21;09</p>\n<p>So I'm not gonna talk about all the great work that we have done together with you all in Wisconsin, together with Governor evers to build our infrastructure, to protect working people.</p>\n<p>09:32:31;14</p>\n<p>But I do wanna say one thing in my personal capacity because the other ticket is trying to say that they are the ticket and the party of working people.</p>\n<p>09:32:42;16</p>\n<p>Yeah, give us a break, right?</p>\n<p>09:32:45;11</p>\n<p>You can't be against overtime pay and say that you're a pro worker, you can't be anti-immigrant and pro worker.</p>\n<p>09:33:01;10</p>\n<p>We are not going back to a time where immigrants were vilified and where policies of the border were based on race and religion and calling countries shithole countries.</p>\n<p>09:33:10;02</p>\n<p>We're not doing that.</p>\n<p>09:33:14;09</p>\n<p>You cannot be pro sexual harassment and pro worker doesn't work like that.</p>\n<p>09:33:23;00</p>\n<p>You can't be anti voting rights and pro worker working people.</p>\n<p>09:33:29;13</p>\n<p>Unions are the fight about the basics of democracy, right?</p>\n<p>09:33:33;09</p>\n<p>How we vote, how we participate, how we look out for the common good over the individual good, right?</p>\n<p>09:33:39;12</p>\n<p>You cannot be pro Elon Musk and pro worker and you definitely cannot be anti union and pro worker.</p>\n<p>09:33:54;20</p>\n<p>So Wisconsin, we got 76 days to elect a real pro worker, pro women, pro civil rights, pro voting rights person into this office.</p>\n<p>09:34:06;09</p>\n<p>We're gonna make history because it's high time.</p>\n<p>09:34:08;29</p>\n<p>We have that woman of color lead our country, right?</p>\n<p>09:34:14;29</p>\n<p>And the most qualified person on the ballot.</p>\n<p>09:34:18;25</p>\n<p>Let's elect Vice President Harris and governor Walls to be the next president and vice president of the United States of America.</p>\n<p>09:34:26;15</p>\n<p>We're only gonna do this when Wisconsin gets it done and you are gonna do it because you know that the best way to get people out to vote is not through polls, it's not through commercials as important as those are.</p>\n<p>09:34:44;13</p>\n<p>It's not even through conventions as great as this is for us to be together here.</p>\n<p>09:34:49;18</p>\n<p>It's through talking to individuals and so each of us, each of you, I know this.</p>\n<p>09:34:55;28</p>\n<p>My team knows this.</p>\n<p>09:34:56;20</p>\n<p>We are in it.</p>\n<p>09:34:57;11</p>\n<p>I'm not gonna ask anybody to do anything.</p>\n<p>09:34:58;18</p>\n<p>I'm not willing to do.</p>\n<p>09:34:59;21</p>\n<p>So, we've gotta be in it and we've gotta have a plan to reach every single person that we know and not take anybody for granted, right?</p>\n<p>09:35:06;17</p>\n<p>Our family members, our friends, our neighbors, the parents of the kids at our schools, right?</p>\n<p>09:35:13;02</p>\n<p>Everybody we know we should be talking to them, we should be telling them why it's so important to vote.</p>\n<p>09:35:18;17</p>\n<p>We should remind them why somebody who failed so miserably at their job once, should never get another chance to do it.</p>\n<p>09:35:27;11</p>\n<p>And we should be talking about why the America that we love should be an America of opportunity, of joy, of hope of a president that reflects all of those things.</p>\n<p>09:35:38;09</p>\n<p>So make a plan for everyone, you know, to get to the polls and let's do this, Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>09:35:42;25</p>\n<p>Thank you so much for everything you're already doing and I will see you back in Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>09:35:51;13</p>\n<p>Right.</p>\n<p>09:35:54;01</p>\n<p>Another round of applause for fellow Wisconsinite, our great Secretary of Labor here in her personal capacity, Julie Su ah, before I introduce our next speaker, I wanna share something.</p>\n<p>09:36:13;21</p>\n<p>I'm wildly wildly excited about, which is that tonight on the conventions stage, we are going to be hearing from Milwaukee's own mayor Cavalier Johnson.</p>\n<p>09:36:26;17</p>\n<p>Let's give him a round of applause and let me ask, let me ask everyone here to take extra special care to be in their seats at six o'clock PM tonight.</p>\n<p>09:36:37;28</p>\n<p>So that when we see him in the six o'clock hour, we can bring down the roof of the United Center with our cheers and applause with our chief heads waving in the air to welcome Mayor Johnson to the national stage here at the convention.</p>\n<p>09:36:52;19</p>\n<p>So mark your calendar.</p>\n<p>09:36:54;05</p>\n<p>If you haven't already, let's make sure we're there ready to rock and cheer as loud as we can.</p>\n<p>09:36:59;23</p>\n<p>And let's prepare those cheering voices by welcoming another Wisconsinite, another Wisconsin champion for workers, another Wisconsin champion for the progressive causes to which all of us have devoted so much of our lives.</p>\n<p>09:37:14;20</p>\n<p>My congressman, a champion for all of us.</p>\n<p>09:37:18;03</p>\n<p>The great, the one the only mark.</p>\n<p>09:37:26;19</p>\n<p>Good morning.</p>\n<p>09:37:29;16</p>\n<p>Thank you.</p>\n<p>09:37:30;10</p>\n<p>Thank you very much.</p>\n<p>09:37:31;08</p>\n<p>Thank you Ben.</p>\n<p>09:37:33;02</p>\n<p>And let's give another round of applause to Julie Sue.</p>\n<p>09:37:35;16</p>\n<p>She is an amazing labor secretary.</p>\n<p>09:37:39;28</p>\n<p>Although I think I should just say the honorable Julie Sue by the official rules.</p>\n<p>09:37:44;05</p>\n<p>How are we doing this morning?</p>\n<p>09:37:46;14</p>\n<p>All right, by show of hands who's got six hours or more of sleep?</p>\n<p>09:37:50;14</p>\n<p>That's what I thought.</p>\n<p>09:37:51;21</p>\n<p>I'm gonna get 4 to 6. All right.</p>\n<p>09:37:54;16</p>\n<p>How many are under four H?</p>\n<p>09:37:57;07</p>\n<p>Those are the honest ones.</p>\n<p>09:37:58;17</p>\n<p>Thank you.</p>\n<p>09:37:59;09</p>\n<p>All right.</p>\n<p>09:38:00;03</p>\n<p>Well, it is amazing.</p>\n<p>09:38:01;14</p>\n<p>You're here this morning.</p>\n<p>09:38:02;24</p>\n<p>Uh, first off, I wanna thank, and we all need to thank the staff volunteers and everyone involved with the Wisconsin Democratic Party.</p>\n<p>09:38:13;23</p>\n<p>We have the best party in the country and that's because of our chair, Ben Wickler and his amazing team.</p>\n<p>09:38:21;24</p>\n<p>So let's give them some rousing.</p>\n<p>09:38:23;22</p>\n<p>Thanks for having a terrific week.</p>\n<p>09:38:30;11</p>\n<p>And what a great week.</p>\n<p>09:38:31;18</p>\n<p>It's been so far, although it's been two days, it feels like a week.</p>\n<p>09:38:34;25</p>\n<p>Uh but we'll soon go back home and the real work will begin because we live in a purple state.</p>\n<p>09:38:42;19</p>\n<p>That means we have some red and maroon areas.</p>\n<p>09:38:45;21</p>\n<p>We have some beautiful indigo blue areas, but overall, we are purple and no one knows that more than the people in this room that we do not make politics a spectator sport.</p>\n<p>09:38:58;12</p>\n<p>Uh We are in the game.</p>\n<p>09:39:00;03</p>\n<p>We are getting sweaty occasionally.</p>\n<p>09:39:02;05</p>\n<p>We'll pull a calf muscle, but we get right back up, but that's what it takes to win in a state like Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>09:39:10;03</p>\n<p>And we know there is so very much at stake.</p>\n<p>09:39:14;01</p>\n<p>First of all, let's thank our great governor Tony Evers and a just state Supreme Court for Fair Maps in Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>09:39:42;05</p>\n<p>Look as someone who ran the Assembly Democratic campaign committee back in 2008 when we took the majority back for the first time in 14 years.</p>\n<p>09:39:50;20</p>\n<p>And then we faced the 2010 depressing election cycle.</p>\n<p>09:39:54;13</p>\n<p>Hundreds of state legislators lost across the country in a GOP wave.</p>\n<p>09:39:59;25</p>\n<p>We had a gerrymandered State of Wisconsin as well as other states in the country.</p>\n<p>09:40:04;28</p>\n<p>So to finally have fair maps that give us a real chance to get the majority a long overdue priority.</p>\n<p>09:40:12;23</p>\n<p>We have to give special thanks to Governor Evers Maggie and others in his office for all that they helped us do to get those fair maps and I haven't heard it said yet.</p>\n<p>09:40:25;18</p>\n<p>So I'm gonna say it now.</p>\n<p>09:40:27;02</p>\n<p>Three term.</p>\n<p>09:40:28;03</p>\n<p>Tony sounds really great to me.</p>\n<p>09:40:35;27</p>\n<p>Hey, so we've got to help in the assembly and the Senate districts across the state.</p>\n<p>09:40:43;08</p>\n<p>We can pick up the State Assembly this cycle and get us to the net with the state Senate for 2026.</p>\n<p>09:40:51;06</p>\n<p>So is anyone I've had when I was in the assembly is one of the favorite jobs I've ever had in my life.</p>\n<p>09:40:57;14</p>\n<p>I can tell you how important it is to give that back up to the governor so they can get some real things done.</p>\n<p>09:41:03;22</p>\n<p>We're gonna do all we can to elect more Democrats to the state legislature.</p>\n<p>09:41:07;13</p>\n<p>Right.</p>\n<p>09:41:12;14</p>\n<p>We also have to keep our Democratic US Senate majority.</p>\n<p>09:41:16;23</p>\n<p>And the only way you do that is to keep our amazing us Senator Tammy Baldwin.</p>\n<p>09:41:26;17</p>\n<p>You know, over 30 years ago I got elected to the Dane County Board and at the time there was this recent law school graduate on the board named Tammy Baldwin.</p>\n<p>09:41:36;15</p>\n<p>I think the best compliment you can say and maybe it's a Wisconsin compliment after I heard the New York and New Jersey delegations show their bravado last night, uh, in the roll call, you know, to say someone hasn't changed in all that time despite going from the county board to the state legislature, to Congress, to the US Senate, I think is the greatest compliment that you could say about anyone.</p>\n<p>09:41:59;14</p>\n<p>And that truly is our Tammy Baldwin.</p>\n<p>09:42:05;08</p>\n<p>You know, she doesn't just win in an election year.</p>\n<p>09:42:08;16</p>\n<p>She wins in the five years prior to the election year by getting around the state and working hard and doing everything she can.</p>\n<p>09:42:16;10</p>\n<p>And in Washington, she is a workhorse, not a show horse.</p>\n<p>09:42:21;11</p>\n<p>And we have to make sure that this guy who's come from California to offer his sage advice.</p>\n<p>09:42:29;08</p>\n<p>Remember that first video of him when he cracked a hole in the ice and he jumped in the water because he thought that's what you do if you're from Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>09:42:36;17</p>\n<p>I don't know.</p>\n<p>09:42:37;06</p>\n<p>I saw that and, and I thought that's what a California banker would think you do if you're from Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>09:42:43;15</p>\n<p>I know plenty of people who fish above the ice, but I don't know many people going below the ice in winter.</p>\n<p>09:42:48;28</p>\n<p>So I think that says all you need to know about Eric hub deep, but this is a no brainer and we're gonna reelect Tammy Baldwin.</p>\n<p>09:42:55;29</p>\n<p>Right.</p>\n<p>09:42:59;19</p>\n<p>I'll tell you super close to me is obviously the US House and we have four seats to pick up to have the majority and to make Hakeem Jeffries, the next speaker of the House of Representatives, Hakeem came in my class to Congress and I was fortunate enough to be one of his seconding speeches for when he became leader.</p>\n<p>09:43:22;21</p>\n<p>And I can tell you he's the real deal.</p>\n<p>09:43:25;15</p>\n<p>Uh He's a real friend.</p>\n<p>09:43:26;24</p>\n<p>He's an amazing order and he holds our caucus together so well that we are gonna be able to get a lot done if we pick up those four seats and guess what state has a number of swing seats that we could potentially pick up uh to get that majority.</p>\n<p>09:43:44;13</p>\n<p>Right.</p>\n<p>09:43:46;06</p>\n<p>Look, we have great candidates.</p>\n<p>09:43:48;22</p>\n<p>Uh Kirsten Lely who is in the eighth district, have an ob to have an OB there.</p>\n<p>09:43:57;09</p>\n<p>She is to have an OBGYN running against the guy who's using a dinosaur to define his business.</p>\n<p>09:44:06;29</p>\n<p>Speaks volumes about the difference between the Democratic Party and the Republicans.</p>\n<p>09:44:12;21</p>\n<p>We also have a swing, one of the swing seats in Wisconsin, one and our good friend, a former member of Congress, former Democratic assembly leader, former Secretary of Revenue for Governor Evers and former uh midwest administrator for the Small Business administration.</p>\n<p>09:44:30;08</p>\n<p>Peter Barker is the candidate in the first district.</p>\n<p>09:44:37;09</p>\n<p>Look, I have known Peter since I was 14 years old.</p>\n<p>09:44:42;15</p>\n<p>I grew up in Kenosha with Peter.</p>\n<p>09:44:44;16</p>\n<p>Um My mom a a quick story because I don't see the next speaker here yet.</p>\n<p>09:44:48;05</p>\n<p>So I'm gonna, I'm gonna tell this story.</p>\n<p>09:44:49;24</p>\n<p>Uh my mom uh lived to be 93 the last few years were in Dane County, but she lived for 91 of those years in Kenosha.</p>\n<p>09:44:56;25</p>\n<p>And towards the end, she wasn't following politics quite as close when she was in Kenosha.</p>\n<p>09:45:01;06</p>\n<p>So she'd go over who was running and she'd go through the whole ballot and one year she did it and she skipped over Peter Barka and I said, mom, you forgot Peter Barka and her response was, well, of course, I'm voting for Peter Barka.</p>\n<p>09:45:14;03</p>\n<p>That is how people feel about Peter in places like Kenosha and Racine.</p>\n<p>09:45:18;26</p>\n<p>And we're gonna help Peter Barka win that seat.</p>\n<p>09:45:21;12</p>\n<p>Right?</p>\n<p>09:45:26;01</p>\n<p>Look, Brian's style isn't a bad guy who represents the district, but he takes a lot of really bad votes and he tries not to take a lot of positions on any issues.</p>\n<p>09:45:35;28</p>\n<p>He, he's probably the human equivalent of like flavorless jello, right?</p>\n<p>09:45:40;09</p>\n<p>Whatever he's next to on the plate.</p>\n<p>09:45:41;25</p>\n<p>He'll taste like a little bit.</p>\n<p>09:45:43;19</p>\n<p>I would rather have a democratic leader who's got a record of accomplishments like Peter Barker.</p>\n<p>09:45:48;21</p>\n<p>Right.</p>\n<p>09:45:52;18</p>\n<p>And in the third congressional district, we have one of America's worst members of Congress and I serve with Marjorie Taylor Green.</p>\n<p>09:46:04;12</p>\n<p>Right.</p>\n<p>09:46:07;09</p>\n<p>There's the belligerent beer filled, bloviating business, failing misogynistic book writing, insurrection, attending librarian and senate page harassing State of the Union speech yelling Trump fir an embarrassment to the state and nation.</p>\n<p>09:46:26;00</p>\n<p>Derek Van Orden and I'll quit sugar coating him.</p>\n<p>09:46:33;12</p>\n<p>Look, we have to upgrade to get that four seats we need in Congress and we have a great opportunity in Becca Cook.</p>\n<p>09:46:48;04</p>\n<p>This was our dear friend Ron kind seat uh for 26 years and we just have to make sure that this temporary tenant doesn't have more than a twoyear lease, right?</p>\n<p>09:46:59;13</p>\n<p>Are we gonna defeat Derek Van Norden this fall?</p>\n<p>09:47:05;17</p>\n<p>Look and finally, Wisconsin is gonna be the deciding state for Democrats with the White House this year and we can do it with vice President Harris and governor walls.</p>\n<p>09:47:17;06</p>\n<p>We have a ticket that's real and authentic and is upper midwestern as you can get with the right values and the right moral compass and Trump, don't you feel that when we look at this race, it's like watching an old black and one black and white rerun versus a brand new fall color, uh TV show.</p>\n<p>09:47:39;20</p>\n<p>This is whether you're gonna go back or forward.</p>\n<p>09:47:45;01</p>\n<p>I know it's not fair to Joe Biden, but he became president very late in life and the reality is that night of the debate.</p>\n<p>09:47:53;24</p>\n<p>Mo many, many Americans weren't happy with either candidate on the debate stage, but one of those candidates is still running for president and that's Donald Trump and the other candidate we now have running is the vice president, Kamala Harris and Trump has a terrible roadmap for the future.</p>\n<p>09:48:17;08</p>\n<p>He and his project 2020 25 would have devastating effects on people in Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>09:48:25;25</p>\n<p>And there's a reason why Donald Trump, by the way, is running away from project 2025.</p>\n<p>09:48:30;17</p>\n<p>Um 100 and 40 of his administration officials and Lackeys wrote project 2025.</p>\n<p>09:48:37;15</p>\n<p>The Heritage Foundation is a sponsor, a major sponsor of the RNC convention, not the DNC convention and they're the ones promoting it, but we have to make sure that we do not see this country take that negative turn that's outlined in the 920 pages of Project 2025.</p>\n<p>09:48:58;27</p>\n<p>And for those of you who live uh near the, the second CD next Wednesday night at six o'clock, uh We are having a town hall on project 2025 at the South Central Federation of Labor.</p>\n<p>09:49:11;04</p>\n<p>If you can make it, we love to make sure everyone knows in depth just how bad that plan is.</p>\n<p>09:49:16;23</p>\n<p>But I'll tell you they've polled many parts of this.</p>\n<p>09:49:19;20</p>\n<p>I serve on a special uh house Democratic task force on project 2025.</p>\n<p>09:49:24;05</p>\n<p>And this thing stinks to high heaven and we just need to make sure that people know those details and what's gonna happen.</p>\n<p>09:49:32;16</p>\n<p>So we know that the Harris Walls administration will do an amazing job if we can help, make sure they win in November.</p>\n<p>09:49:42;10</p>\n<p>And let's remember what Kamala Harris has done.</p>\n<p>09:49:45;01</p>\n<p>As part of the Biden Harris administration.</p>\n<p>09:49:47;11</p>\n<p>They got this country out of COVID.</p>\n<p>09:49:50;13</p>\n<p>They passed the infrastructure bill that four presidents have talked about, but Joe Biden and Kamala Harris got it done.</p>\n<p>09:50:02;17</p>\n<p>We're making things again in America through the Chips and Science Act, creating tens of thousands of new jobs by making things in our country.</p>\n<p>09:50:13;27</p>\n<p>And we reduced the cost of things like prescription drugs and other health care and energy costs through the Inflation Reduction Act.</p>\n<p>09:50:22;00</p>\n<p>That's the record of Kamala Harris, but there's more to do and I love the fact that they're describing their campaign as a joyous campaign.</p>\n<p>09:50:32;04</p>\n<p>I would much rather be talking about the future and joy than the gloom and doom and the cartoon of Donald Trump.</p>\n<p>09:50:40;01</p>\n<p>And the path to the White House is gonna go directly through Wisconsin and we are going to get that done right this fall.</p>\n<p>09:50:51;13</p>\n<p>We have a really great opportunity to make Wisconsin Central by electing a democratic legislature by keeping Tammy Baldwin in the US Senate by picking up seats in the US House and making sure that Wisconsin is in the blue column for the White House.</p>\n<p>09:51:08;02</p>\n<p>Once again, I look forward to traveling the state, uh, in the remaining 76 days I believe we're at, uh, to get things done and I look forward to spending a whole lot of time with you all.</p>\n<p>09:51:19;14</p>\n<p>Thanks for being here this week.</p>\n<p>09:51:21;00</p>\n<p>I don't agree with Tim Wells on one thing.</p>\n<p>09:51:23;06</p>\n<p>I don't think we're gonna sleep when we die.</p>\n<p>09:51:25;06</p>\n<p>I think we'll sleep on Friday.</p>\n<p>09:51:26;26</p>\n<p>But until then, thank you very much, Congressman Mark Hoan from Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>09:51:43;25</p>\n<p>Second.</p>\n<p>09:51:44;27</p>\n<p>Soon to have a lot more friends than the democratic congressional delegation to Washington DC.</p>\n<p>09:51:51;02</p>\n<p>We have other amazing speakers coming up this morning, but we wanna give everyone here a chance to speak to each other for a moment.</p>\n<p>09:51:59;28</p>\n<p>So we're gonna take a little break before we resume our programming.</p>\n<p>09:52:03;06</p>\n<p>Please meet someone new, greet someone you already know and love and enjoy the delicious breakfast and I'm gonna have some more coffee.</p>\n<p>09:52:11;26</p>\n<p>Thanks so much.</p>\n<p>09:52:12;20</p>\n<p>Let's do this.</p>\n<p>09:52:20;13</p>\n<p>Oh, oh, man.</p>\n<p>09:52:53;06</p>\n<p>Need a break.</p>\n<p>09:52:55;06</p>\n<p>Take the chance to get out all the time.</p>\n<p>09:53:03;17</p>\n<p>We're gone.</p>\n<p>09:53:08;09</p>\n<p>Best thing.</p>\n<p>09:54:03;25</p>\n<p>The best thing.</p>\n<p>09:54:19;15</p>\n<p>Oh man, gyw, I RT Z hyphen Olsen.</p>\n<p>09:56:13;15</p>\n<p>I'm a teacher and I'm the president of the, of the Wisconsin Education Jack.</p>\n<p>09:56:31;20</p>\n<p>Try it again.</p>\n<p>09:56:35;14</p>\n<p>Can you say your first name and last name again?</p>\n<p>09:56:37;22</p>\n<p>My name is Peggy Pe Ggyw, I RT Z hyphen Olsen.</p>\n<p>09:56:43;15</p>\n<p>I'm a teacher and I'm the president of the Wisconsin Education Association Council or we a perfect.</p>\n<p>09:56:49;13</p>\n<p>So obviously here at the Democratic National mentioned day for the theme today is a fight for our freedom.</p>\n<p>09:56:54;16</p>\n<p>So what does that exactly mean to you?</p>\n<p>09:56:56;24</p>\n<p>Fighting for our freedoms for me as a teacher?</p>\n<p>09:56:59;24</p>\n<p>Definitely really means fighting for the freedom for my students to learn.</p>\n<p>09:57:06;16</p>\n<p>And so I guess, um what are some things that you are looking forward to for the rest of the Democratic National Convention?</p>\n<p>09:57:12;27</p>\n<p>Well, I am looking forward to today know that Governor Walls as a fellow teacher speaks to me and my colleagues about the importance of education, the importance of decency.</p>\n<p>09:57:28;04</p>\n<p>And so I'm looking forward to tonight's program where we're going to be welcoming him and hearing from him.</p>\n<p>09:57:34;22</p>\n<p>And I know as a teacher, there are probably, you know, different demands, concerns that they have, what are some of those demands and concerns that people in your field are worried about heading into this election.</p>\n<p>09:57:45;26</p>\n<p>So that theme of fighting for our freedoms is so important to teachers because we're fighting for that freedom for students to learn.</p>\n<p>09:57:54;03</p>\n<p>We've been facing things like book bans and you know, other attacks on, on not just learning that freedom to learn, but our freedom for our students to be who they are.</p>\n<p>09:58:04;27</p>\n<p>And so educators like me want uh America where everyone is free to be who they are uh to learn to love.</p>\n<p>09:58:15;14</p>\n<p>And um our students can be themselves and comfortable in our society and it's great that, you know, you're from the Madison area.</p>\n<p>09:58:23;05</p>\n<p>So, what does that mean for people like from our area?</p>\n<p>09:58:25;27</p>\n<p>What do you think that means?</p>\n<p>09:58:26;24</p>\n<p>I mean, just to be here in representing Madison.</p>\n<p>09:58:28;22</p>\n<p>What does that mean?</p>\n<p>09:58:30;00</p>\n<p>Yeah.</p>\n<p>09:58:30;09</p>\n<p>Well, it's the honor of a lifetime to be a delegate.</p>\n<p>09:58:33;18</p>\n<p>This is my first time as AD NC delegate.</p>\n<p>09:58:35;28</p>\n<p>This has been an amazing, joyful, energetic convention and I can't say enough how important for a teacher like me it is to be here.</p>\n<p>09:58:47;09</p>\n<p>And could you say your first and last name one more time for me?</p>\n<p>09:58:49;11</p>\n<p>Just to make sure I have it.</p>\n<p>09:58:50;25</p>\n<p>Yeah.</p>\n<p>09:58:51;00</p>\n<p>Yeah.</p>\n<p>09:58:51;03</p>\n<p>My name is Peggy Wes Olsen and I'm a high school, art and English teacher and I'm the president of the Wisconsin Education Association Council.</p>\n<p>09:58:59;10</p>\n<p>Thanks so much.</p>\n<p>09:59:01;14</p>\n<p>You're so sweet.</p>\n<p>09:59:02;06</p>\n<p>Thank you.</p>\n<p>09:59:03;06</p>\n<p>Do you have any questions you guys or uh you know, I was kind of wondering if you're talking about 3 to 2 year students, if they ever really come to the text.</p>\n<p>09:59:10;26</p>\n<p>Now, what do you tell me?</p>\n<p>09:59:14;24</p>\n<p>Yeah.</p>\n<p>09:59:15;01</p>\n<p>So when I talk with my students about freedom, right?</p>\n<p>09:59:18;04</p>\n<p>I, I talk with them about the freedom of ideas that in an, in a democracy, in an America that I want to live in and I want my own Children and my students to live in.</p>\n<p>09:59:31;12</p>\n<p>We have those opportunities um to be who we are, to love, who we love and to be ourselves and our authentic selves.</p>\n<p>09:59:42;26</p>\n<p>Thank you.</p>\n<p>09:59:45;10</p>\n<p>Welcome to Madison.</p>\n<p>09:59:46;12</p>\n<p>I I love it here.</p>\n<p>09:59:47;18</p>\n<p>I'm, well, I'm there.</p>\n<p>09:59:48;21</p>\n<p>Not here.</p>\n<p>09:59:50;04</p>\n<p>I'm so glad.</p>\n<p>09:59:51;16</p>\n<p>Um, I, I was watching you say, you know, the, the working through the winter kind of thing.</p>\n<p>09:59:58;18</p>\n<p>Um, I'm a little, I'm a little concerned.</p>\n<p>10:00:00;10</p>\n<p>No, it's gonna be good.</p>\n<p>10:00:01;21</p>\n<p>You're gonna, you're gonna do great.</p>\n<p>10:00:04;02</p>\n<p>Yeah.</p>\n<p>10:00:05;07</p>\n<p>What?</p>\n<p>10:00:06;26</p>\n<p>Yeah, I guess.</p>\n<p>10:00:08;07</p>\n<p>Yes.</p>\n<p>10:00:09;01</p>\n<p>Um, I hired so some.</p>\n<p>10:00:43;00</p>\n<p>So thank you.</p>\n<p>10:00:59;18</p>\n<p>Turn in, yes.</p>\n<p>10:01:08;16</p>\n<p>Used for, ok.</p>\n<p>10:01:15;22</p>\n<p>Wisconsin Democrats.</p>\n<p>10:01:19;10</p>\n<p>I can tell from the hum and the murmur in this room that people are making friends.</p>\n<p>10:01:23;16</p>\n<p>How many people here have made a new friend in the course of this convention so far on the count of three, shout out the name of someone that you've met that you want to stay in touch with 123.</p>\n<p>10:01:38;13</p>\n<p>Oh, we can do better than that.</p>\n<p>10:01:40;15</p>\n<p>Alright.</p>\n<p>10:01:41;03</p>\n<p>Well, if you've made a new friend, I want to hear you say, yes, that is what I'm talking about.</p>\n<p>10:01:48;26</p>\n<p>All right, we have a next speaker who is a champion for all of us and I consider a personal friend.</p>\n<p>10:01:58;23</p>\n<p>He's also someone who brought me enormous embarrassment because in 2020 on a Zoom with the Wisconsin Democratic Party staff, unannounced, unannounced to me, he shared with my team that I had committed to shaving my head if we defeated Donald Trump in November.</p>\n<p>10:02:21;04</p>\n<p>And this created an enormous sense of motivation on top of the already great motivation within our team.</p>\n<p>10:02:27;10</p>\n<p>And as you might remember, we did defeat Donald Trump that fall.</p>\n<p>10:02:31;20</p>\n<p>And on another zoom call my kids shaved my head with my entire team watching and Senator Cory Booker laughing his head off.</p>\n<p>10:02:39;24</p>\n<p>He brings joy.</p>\n<p>10:02:41;01</p>\n<p>He brings surprise.</p>\n<p>10:02:42;13</p>\n<p>He brings deep, deep convictions.</p>\n<p>10:02:44;19</p>\n<p>He brings a voice of moral clarity.</p>\n<p>10:02:47;07</p>\n<p>Let's give a giant round of applause to honorary badger and friend of Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>10:02:52;06</p>\n<p>Senator Cory Booker.</p>\n<p>10:02:59;09</p>\n<p>Ok.</p>\n<p>10:03:00;24</p>\n<p>It was fun.</p>\n<p>10:03:03;29</p>\n<p>Wis so you all gotta help me.</p>\n<p>10:03:10;03</p>\n<p>I, I made a mistake yesterday.</p>\n<p>10:03:11;25</p>\n<p>I, uh, the last two days I've been doing state party speeches, just, just giving up the mic running into the middle crowd yelling my remarks and now I've lost my voice and I have to speak on the stage tonight.</p>\n<p>10:03:24;27</p>\n<p>But I have a feeling that the energy that we're seeing in that arena will lift my heart, lift my spirits and lift my voice.</p>\n<p>10:03:36;17</p>\n<p>So look, I, I want you all to know and I know this is about to get me in trouble.</p>\n<p>10:03:42;03</p>\n<p>But I think the best party leader in all of America is your party leader, Ben.</p>\n<p>10:03:52;02</p>\n<p>And he, and he's standing next to my almost girlfriend, Thelma, my home girl, she's married to a great man.</p>\n<p>10:03:59;23</p>\n<p>So I can't get myself in trouble, but she's had me over at her house.</p>\n<p>10:04:03;09</p>\n<p>She's fed me.</p>\n<p>10:04:04;03</p>\n<p>So I'm in love with her.</p>\n<p>10:04:07;01</p>\n<p>So all I'm gonna do instead of, uh, a booming speech, I'm just wanna, I wanna make a confession.</p>\n<p>10:04:12;07</p>\n<p>I figure I feel with like such family here when I'm campaigning for Baldwin, who is one of the greatest senators.</p>\n<p>10:04:19;20</p>\n<p>Iii I feel like I'm at home when I come to your communities and it's such an honor to serve with her.</p>\n<p>10:04:28;00</p>\n<p>And, and, and so I thought you all would be accepting enough for me to tell you a confession.</p>\n<p>10:04:34;18</p>\n<p>And so here's a confession.</p>\n<p>10:04:36;25</p>\n<p>There was a day on the senate floor where all senators was there.</p>\n<p>10:04:42;23</p>\n<p>Usually we're not all in one place, but this is one of those rare moments like a presidential impeachment.</p>\n<p>10:04:48;07</p>\n<p>We had a couple of those during Donald Trump's time.</p>\n<p>10:04:51;19</p>\n<p>But this time we're there for a moment that has so many of us joyous because we're about to make American history and put Kanji Brown Jackson on the Supreme Court and, and, and I'm, we're all waiting 99 senators there.</p>\n<p>10:05:08;00</p>\n<p>We're waiting for the last senator to vote Republicans keeping us there for a long time.</p>\n<p>10:05:12;20</p>\n<p>And now I start pacing and, and I'm, I'm, I'm emotional and I'm trying my best not to cry because my staff will only let me have one public cry a month and, and, and I had already exceeded my quota and, and Michelle almost made me cry again last night, but I was like, I gotta save it.</p>\n<p>10:05:33;15</p>\n<p>And then Raphael Warnock walks up to me and says, brother book.</p>\n<p>10:05:37;27</p>\n<p>It looks like you're struggling a little bit.</p>\n<p>10:05:41;24</p>\n<p>He's like you need some prayer.</p>\n<p>10:05:43;16</p>\n<p>Brother Booker and I'm like, Lord knows I do.</p>\n<p>10:05:47;14</p>\n<p>But at that moment, this urgent looking staffer runs over to tell us that the presiding officer was asking us to approach the front of the room.</p>\n<p>10:06:01;14</p>\n<p>Now, Rafael Warnock and I both growing up in powerful matriarchal families.</p>\n<p>10:06:06;10</p>\n<p>When a woman calls us, we reflexively like go towards.</p>\n<p>10:06:10;00</p>\n<p>But this wasn't just like uh uh another staff or another senator.</p>\n<p>10:06:14;01</p>\n<p>This was the presiding officer on that day who happened to be there to break a tie.</p>\n<p>10:06:20;20</p>\n<p>The vice president of the United States of America was Kamala Harris.</p>\n<p>10:06:25;13</p>\n<p>And so now picture this, I don't know how it is in your State Senate, but in the United States Senate, the, the presiding officer has to be the highest person in the room.</p>\n<p>10:06:33;15</p>\n<p>So when you walk up to talk to them sitting there, you can't stand, you have to like lean over.</p>\n<p>10:06:38;16</p>\n<p>And if those of you c span Watchers, all six of you might see, might see people sort of crouching when they're talking.</p>\n<p>10:06:45;07</p>\n<p>But this time, it was like both Raphael Warnock went over us and we bowed down at the altar of Kamala Harris.</p>\n<p>10:06:53;05</p>\n<p>And so now she's sitting on high and looking down at us kneeling before her and she says, fellas, this is a historic moment.</p>\n<p>10:07:00;22</p>\n<p>Now, I know she was talking about Katani Brown Jackson, but I'm one of those political nerds and I knew this was a historic moment because it's the first time in American history.</p>\n<p>10:07:09;09</p>\n<p>Three black people ever got together at the Senate floor.</p>\n<p>10:07:16;25</p>\n<p>Right.</p>\n<p>10:07:17;05</p>\n<p>There is three of the seven of us who had ever been elected to the United States Senate.</p>\n<p>10:07:21;25</p>\n<p>And so I'm, I'm, I'm standing there waiting for what Kamala Harris wants to talk about.</p>\n<p>10:07:25;19</p>\n<p>And she's like, listen, fellas, this is a really historic moment.</p>\n<p>10:07:29;10</p>\n<p>You all should do something to mark this moment.</p>\n<p>10:07:32;14</p>\n<p>And she says, why don't you all write a letter to a little girl about what it meant to be here at this moment.</p>\n<p>10:07:42;01</p>\n<p>And then she didn't seem to trust that we would do it.</p>\n<p>10:07:44;17</p>\n<p>So she goes over to her binder, opens up this beautiful leather, bind her and right there, the only thing other than her schedule that I saw were two pieces of her stationery, the big Vice Presidential seal on it and, and, and her name and she hands us both these two pieces of stationery and says, write your letter to that little girl on my stationery.</p>\n<p>10:08:12;12</p>\n<p>And at that point, Raphael Warnock grabs me and says, hold on, Booker, hold on, don't cry.</p>\n<p>10:08:20;08</p>\n<p>So now I want you all to know something about Raphael Warnock.</p>\n<p>10:08:23;06</p>\n<p>He is disciplined, he is dutiful, he is determined.</p>\n<p>10:08:28;12</p>\n<p>And so he went right back to his desk and penned a letter to his five year old daughter to tell her about this.</p>\n<p>10:08:37;19</p>\n<p>Now, I am one of those people that JD Vance talked down about.</p>\n<p>10:08:42;29</p>\n<p>I'm one of those childless cat people.</p>\n<p>10:08:50;28</p>\n<p>I think we're perfect.</p>\n<p>10:08:55;27</p>\n<p>I think we're fantastic.</p>\n<p>10:08:59;25</p>\n<p>Oh, my gosh.</p>\n<p>10:09:00;27</p>\n<p>What do you tell, tell a guy like me who has no kids that tells dad jokes a faux pas.</p>\n<p>10:09:07;18</p>\n<p>Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, I'm here all week.</p>\n<p>10:09:10;29</p>\n<p>I'm here all week.</p>\n<p>10:09:14;06</p>\n<p>So unlike Warnock, I didn't go back to my desk and, and write the letter.</p>\n<p>10:09:19;27</p>\n<p>Kanji Brown Jackson gets put on the highest office of the land.</p>\n<p>10:09:22;05</p>\n<p>I'm holding on to this precious stationary.</p>\n<p>10:09:24;12</p>\n<p>And I didn't write my letter in the next week, another week passed and I still didn't write my letter.</p>\n<p>10:09:29;09</p>\n<p>I told you all this was going to be a confessional.</p>\n<p>10:09:32;09</p>\n<p>And then one of those early mornings, I know you've all had this feeling where you wake up before your alarm goes off and you're lying there in bed and you just have some really deep thoughts.</p>\n<p>10:09:45;05</p>\n<p>And really this is not just my confession, but what I want to leave you all with you, see, I'm lying there in bed.</p>\n<p>10:09:51;17</p>\n<p>I realize that what Kamala Harris sent me to do was not a literal task, but a spiritual one.</p>\n<p>10:10:05;07</p>\n<p>Let me tell you what I mean.</p>\n<p>10:10:06;29</p>\n<p>I grew up in a, in a little church in, close to New Jersey where the pastor used to preach faith without works is dead.</p>\n<p>10:10:14;25</p>\n<p>You know, he would always say you can't preach right and walk left that it's not about what you say in life that defines you.</p>\n<p>10:10:23;11</p>\n<p>It's what you do.</p>\n<p>10:10:25;18</p>\n<p>I love what Frederick Douglass says.</p>\n<p>10:10:27;10</p>\n<p>He said, he said, I prayed for years for my freedom and I was still a slave.</p>\n<p>10:10:31;28</p>\n<p>It wasn't until I prayed with my hands and prayed with my feet that I found my salvation.</p>\n<p>10:10:38;28</p>\n<p>What Kamala Harris was asking me to do.</p>\n<p>10:10:42;00</p>\n<p>Yes, a beautiful literal thing.</p>\n<p>10:10:44;02</p>\n<p>But spiritually, she was saying, Cory Booker, write your letter every day by what we do by how we show up by the energy and the work and the effort we do.</p>\n<p>10:10:56;14</p>\n<p>We are writing a letter and let me tell you something.</p>\n<p>10:10:58;27</p>\n<p>Every single one of us in this room, we are the descendants of the letters, the love letters that our ancestors wrote and they didn't write with ink.</p>\n<p>10:11:09;01</p>\n<p>They wrote in tears, they wrote in sweat, they wrote in blood, they wrote us a letter of suffrage, they wrote us a letter of civil rights.</p>\n<p>10:11:20;15</p>\n<p>They wrote us letters about Roe V Wade.</p>\n<p>10:11:24;05</p>\n<p>They wrote us letters.</p>\n<p>10:11:27;03</p>\n<p>And so now Wisconsin, it's your turn right through the next 80 days.</p>\n<p>10:11:34;02</p>\n<p>Write your letter with love with work with struggle with sacrifice.</p>\n<p>10:11:40;06</p>\n<p>Oh Make Yeah, of life.</p>\n<p>10:11:44;20</p>\n<p>Make your democracy.</p>\n<p>10:11:48;28</p>\n<p>Make your letter a story of how you worked to get.</p>\n<p>10:11:54;01</p>\n<p>Yes.</p>\n<p>10:11:55;15</p>\n<p>Highest office was caught.</p>\n<p>10:11:59;25</p>\n<p>Write your letter, Cory Booker Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>10:12:21;05</p>\n<p>Let's give another giant round of applause but fired up.</p>\n<p>10:12:34;26</p>\n<p>Oh my gosh.</p>\n<p>10:12:39;02</p>\n<p>Your napkin can be used to adjust any moisture that may be appearing on your face just welcoming everyone to take full advantage of that opportunity.</p>\n<p>10:12:53;23</p>\n<p>All right, I'm gonna bring it down a little bit with some announcements which I'm very excited about.</p>\n<p>10:12:59;09</p>\n<p>The first announcement is if you didn't get one yet and you're a Wisconsin delegate, we have old fashioned T shirts here for you to pick up.</p>\n<p>10:13:10;28</p>\n<p>If you got your T shirt.</p>\n<p>10:13:11;25</p>\n<p>Can you hold it up so people can see your beautiful Wisconsin delegate, old fashioned shirt.</p>\n<p>10:13:17;13</p>\n<p>Look at those, look at those beautiful, beautiful shirts.</p>\n<p>10:13:22;14</p>\n<p>The second day is the giveaway closing moment is 9:30 a.m. It's 913.</p>\n<p>10:13:30;13</p>\n<p>Now.</p>\n<p>10:13:31;09</p>\n<p>So if you have a guest who you would love to be able to get into the arena tonight with a guest pass or if you hope to be entered in the giveaway drawing for some nice prizes, get your tickets in in the next 17 minutes and those are again at the check in table.</p>\n<p>10:13:50;15</p>\n<p>I just wanna make sure people know about that.</p>\n<p>10:13:59;05</p>\n<p>The third announcement is that Wisconsin's elected DNC member, Alex Lasry is throwing a party tonight to appreciate the Wisconsin delegation.</p>\n<p>10:14:11;23</p>\n<p>So after the speeches, you are all fired up, you're full of energy.</p>\n<p>10:14:15;26</p>\n<p>You want to go to a party.</p>\n<p>10:14:17;15</p>\n<p>I recommend that you go to Alex Lad's party tonight from 10 p.m. till 1 a.m. at Barrio, which is at 65 at Kinsey in Chicago.</p>\n<p>10:14:28;13</p>\n<p>Everyone got a message about this, but I just want to make sure everyone here knows that they are invited and it's going to be a blast.</p>\n<p>10:14:36;12</p>\n<p>And my last note is that as we prepare for our next speaker and I know that folks are, are quickly moving through, some folks are, are meeting the amazing Senator Booker.</p>\n<p>10:14:49;08</p>\n<p>I wanna ask everyone then to go to their seat and stay in their seat.</p>\n<p>10:14:54;02</p>\n<p>Oh, not quite yet.</p>\n<p>10:14:56;14</p>\n<p>You don't need to do that yet.</p>\n<p>10:14:57;19</p>\n<p>All right, when we see our next speaker, we're going to invite everyone to be in their seats and on their feet.</p>\n<p>10:15:05;05</p>\n<p>Uh, but we're gonna take a second to enjoy this pause.</p>\n<p>10:15:08;01</p>\n<p>We're going to continue to consume our caffeinated beverages and we'll be back with more programming in just a minute.</p>\n<p>10:15:13;02</p>\n<p>Thank you so much, everyone.</p>\n<p>10:15:29;16</p>\n<p>So.</p>\n<p>10:15:31;15</p>\n<p>Yes, something.</p>\n<p>10:15:45;07</p>\n<p>Ok.</p>\n<p>10:15:48;16</p>\n<p>Yes.</p>\n<p>10:16:25;10</p>\n<p>Ok.</p>\n<p>10:16:46;10</p>\n<p>Yes.</p>\n<p>10:16:58;02</p>\n<p>Yes.</p>\n<p>10:17:44;00</p>\n<p>Cheese.</p>\n<p>10:17:52;06</p>\n<p>Yeah.</p>\n<p>10:18:08;29</p>\n<p>Yeah.</p>\n<p>10:18:10;02</p>\n<p>Ok.</p>\n<p>10:18:20;26</p>\n<p>Two that.</p>\n<p>10:18:48;07</p>\n<p>Ok.</p>\n<p>10:19:11;07</p>\n<p>Two think it's, he's like doing more here at the right time because now it's getting cold.</p>\n<p>10:19:51;12</p>\n<p>Yeah, I know, but I'm from the Midwest, so I think I'll be able to handle it maybe.</p>\n<p>10:19:57;09</p>\n<p>Ok, for the record of you said your first name, your last name and your title.</p>\n<p>10:20:00;17</p>\n<p>David Crowley Crowley Milwaukee County executive.</p>\n<p>10:20:05;06</p>\n<p>So I obviously there's a lot to do Wisconsin Battleground State.</p>\n<p>10:20:09;07</p>\n<p>What do you think Wisconsin kites need to do to make this happen in the next, less than 80 days?</p>\n<p>10:20:14;12</p>\n<p>Well, I'm, I'm just gonna quote Michelle Obama from last night.</p>\n<p>10:20:17;00</p>\n<p>We all have to do something.</p>\n<p>10:20:18;06</p>\n<p>Not every role for everybody to be playing.</p>\n<p>10:20:20;17</p>\n<p>But I do think that everybody has a role when it comes down to saving our democracy and making sure that we get as many people out to the ballot box.</p>\n<p>10:20:27;07</p>\n<p>And so whether you're making phone calls knocking on doors, helping to fundraise or just using, utilizing your talents to help encourage and bring awareness to what is going on this upcoming November.</p>\n<p>10:20:39;11</p>\n<p>That's how you can get involved.</p>\n<p>10:20:40;19</p>\n<p>We all have something to do and we all have to do something and we're coming from Blue Cities, Madison, Milwaukee.</p>\n<p>10:20:47;01</p>\n<p>So what efforts are you trying to make leading up to the election?</p>\n<p>10:20:49;27</p>\n<p>Listen, we're gonna be talking to everybody again, we're gonna be continuously knocking on doors.</p>\n<p>10:20:53;22</p>\n<p>We're gonna be hosting different campuses all across Milwaukee County.</p>\n<p>10:20:57;14</p>\n<p>But again, it's about how do we step outside our geographical comfort zone at the exact same time.</p>\n<p>10:21:02;06</p>\n<p>And so as Milwaukee County executive, yes, I am responsible for Milwaukee, but that doesn't mean that I can't go rally the troops in Racine in Kenosha, in Beloit, in Sheboygan, in Green Bay, in Madison or wherever they need me to be at.</p>\n<p>10:21:16;20</p>\n<p>But I just think that again, when it comes down to what I'm going to be doing, every single thing I need to do to make sure that we make history in electing the first woman president of the United States.</p>\n<p>10:21:29;25</p>\n<p>Ok.</p>\n<p>10:21:30;04</p>\n<p>And then Oh, ok.</p>\n<p>10:21:32;18</p>\n<p>Ok.</p>\n<p>10:21:33;02</p>\n<p>I, OK.</p>\n<p>10:21:34;27</p>\n<p>Wait, just one more thing and then like, ok, what does the, what does today's theme mean for you as I fight for our freedom?</p>\n<p>10:21:40;04</p>\n<p>What does that mean?</p>\n<p>10:21:40;18</p>\n<p>I mean, that's what we're doing every single day.</p>\n<p>10:21:42;12</p>\n<p>We are fighting for democracy and protecting our democracy means that we are protecting our freedom.</p>\n<p>10:21:46;17</p>\n<p>And as a person of color, understanding the role in the, in the generations of trauma that we all come from, we know that there's so much roadway ahead of us and there's so much prosperity ahead of us.</p>\n<p>10:21:57;13</p>\n<p>And so as a person of color, when I hear the fight for freedom, it lets me know that I'm not just fighting for my freedoms.</p>\n<p>10:22:03;02</p>\n<p>I'm fighting for the freedoms of other people of color or those who are coming behind me.</p>\n<p>10:22:06;16</p>\n<p>But more importantly, I'm fighting for the freedom of my daughters.</p>\n<p>10:22:09;12</p>\n<p>I want them to have the same level of opportunities if not more than I have been afforded.</p>\n<p>10:22:14;06</p>\n<p>And I think that that's what America is about and that's what we are fighting for.</p>\n<p>10:22:17;01</p>\n<p>That is the freedom that we are all looking forward to.</p>\n<p>10:22:21;19</p>\n<p>Thank you uh 6 1670 her on stage.</p>\n<p>10:22:34;11</p>\n<p>So the good thing about this is that I am due a small payment from my senate colleagues because they are violating that stipulation.</p>\n<p>10:22:41;24</p>\n<p>But give it up for one of the best speakers.</p>\n<p>10:22:44;08</p>\n<p>The best rabble Rousers Cory Booker.</p>\n<p>10:22:46;21</p>\n<p>Awesome.</p>\n<p>10:22:48;21</p>\n<p>Um Hey, listen, I just want to say this to you.</p>\n<p>10:22:51;07</p>\n<p>There are so many contrasts in this campaign.</p>\n<p>10:22:54;19</p>\n<p>And I'm gonna talk to you about one of them a contrast on how seriously we take our kids' safety.</p>\n<p>10:22:59;16</p>\n<p>But actually, the, the contrast that I think America is seeing every minute of this, of this convention, the contrast that they, they saw loud and clear last night is a contrast of just dourness and joy.</p>\n<p>10:23:14;13</p>\n<p>Right?</p>\n<p>10:23:15;08</p>\n<p>There is just enormous joy in this city in that convention hall and there are big problems in this world.</p>\n<p>10:23:23;18</p>\n<p>There are all sorts of people who are upset and feeling powerless and lonely.</p>\n<p>10:23:29;17</p>\n<p>But we should still feel a sense of joy every single day, right?</p>\n<p>10:23:35;11</p>\n<p>We should understand how unique it is, how special it is that we are living in a nation that is doing something that no other civilization has ever done for as long as we have done it, right?</p>\n<p>10:23:50;08</p>\n<p>It's not just democracy, right?</p>\n<p>10:23:52;25</p>\n<p>There's never been a democracy that is spread the vote and the voice as widely as we haven't done it for as long as we have done it.</p>\n<p>10:24:00;12</p>\n<p>But it's multicultural democracy, right?</p>\n<p>10:24:02;16</p>\n<p>It's this idea that everyone belongs, that everyone can find a home here and that when you find a home here, we, you know, still hold on to a little bit of where we came from.</p>\n<p>10:24:12;27</p>\n<p>But then we join hands and we make decisions together 250 years in this is still an experiment.</p>\n<p>10:24:21;14</p>\n<p>This thing is still fragile.</p>\n<p>10:24:23;20</p>\n<p>This thing still needs to be nurtured, but we should absolutely wake up with joy, with unreserved joy every single day that we live in the United States of America and we have to fight for it every single day.</p>\n<p>10:24:37;01</p>\n<p>That's what this convention is about, right?</p>\n<p>10:24:38;27</p>\n<p>It's about loving the fact that we live in America, accepting the fact that we have to fight for her.</p>\n<p>10:24:44;05</p>\n<p>And Kamala Harris is gonna do that when she gets on stage tomorrow night.</p>\n<p>10:24:47;18</p>\n<p>And I'm so excited for her.</p>\n<p>10:24:53;15</p>\n<p>Let me tell you about 11 thing that I care deeply about.</p>\n<p>10:24:56;26</p>\n<p>So I feel really embarrassed that I spent the first half of my political life not working on the issue of gun violence.</p>\n<p>10:25:04;15</p>\n<p>And then something truly awful happened in my state in 2012, just as I was getting elected to the United States Senate, I've been trying to make up for lost time since then, but we ran up against roadblock after roadblock in the 1st 10 years after Sandy Hook, those parents, the parents of those who have been killed in Milwaukee and Racine and Madison, they came to Washington and they hit those same roadblocks.</p>\n<p>10:25:29;27</p>\n<p>But we had faith that in a democracy eventually, 90% of the people, if they want something, we'll eventually get it.</p>\n<p>10:25:38;17</p>\n<p>And so we built power year after year, right?</p>\n<p>10:25:42;18</p>\n<p>We had faith that one day our movement, the anti gun violence movement would be more powerful than the gun lobby.</p>\n<p>10:25:49;21</p>\n<p>Most people told us it couldn't be done.</p>\n<p>10:25:51;27</p>\n<p>It would never happen that the NR A was the most powerful interest in Washington in the United States of America.</p>\n<p>10:25:58;05</p>\n<p>But we had faith that our cause was so righteous that eventually one day it would prevail Joe Biden.</p>\n<p>10:26:05;10</p>\n<p>And Kamala Harris had faith that our cause was righteous after Parkland happened.</p>\n<p>10:26:10;12</p>\n<p>The first one of my colleagues who called me to say, what are we going to do was Kamala Harris days after.</p>\n<p>10:26:21;03</p>\n<p>And by the way, and by the way, Kamala, the true measure of a leader is not what they do in front of the cameras.</p>\n<p>10:26:26;01</p>\n<p>It's what they do behind the cameras.</p>\n<p>10:26:27;16</p>\n<p>After, after right after Parkland, Kamala Harris methodically helped me organize the anti gun violence groups who up until then hadn't always been working together around a mission to be organized and co ordinated in the 2018 elections.</p>\n<p>10:26:44;11</p>\n<p>She raised more money for anti gun violence candidates running that year than any other of my colleagues.</p>\n<p>10:26:50;19</p>\n<p>She never raised her hand and for credit for it, she never did a press conference to talk about all the work she was doing behind the scenes.</p>\n<p>10:26:56;24</p>\n<p>Kamala Harris just believed that we had an obligation to save people's lives.</p>\n<p>10:27:00;22</p>\n<p>She didn't care if she people knew she was doing it or not.</p>\n<p>10:27:04;02</p>\n<p>She believed in her heart that we should not accept that 100 people die every day of gun violence in this country and she went to work to solve it.</p>\n<p>10:27:15;04</p>\n<p>And then 2022 came around and we saw an opportunity after that awful shooting in Eovaldi.</p>\n<p>10:27:19;27</p>\n<p>After that awful shooting in Buffalo, we saw an opportunity, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris saw an opportunity.</p>\n<p>10:27:25;03</p>\n<p>A lot of their advisers told them you're never going to get this done.</p>\n<p>10:27:27;29</p>\n<p>Don't put any political capital into trying to pass a bill at the nr A opposed for 30 days, we negotiated the bipartisan Safer Communities Act.</p>\n<p>10:27:37;11</p>\n<p>Tammy Baldwin was a huge part of those negotiations.</p>\n<p>10:27:40;14</p>\n<p>And 30 days later, we passed, we passed the first major anti gun violence bill in 30 years.</p>\n<p>10:27:52;12</p>\n<p>We beat the gun lobby for the first time in 30 years.</p>\n<p>10:27:55;24</p>\n<p>And now two years since we passed that bill, gun violence rates in our city, all across this country have dropped by 20% right?</p>\n<p>10:28:06;25</p>\n<p>We have delivered.</p>\n<p>10:28:10;03</p>\n<p>That means that there are young men and women who are alive today that wouldn't have been alive if we hadn't passed that bill.</p>\n<p>10:28:16;20</p>\n<p>That means that there are parents and brothers and sisters who are not grieving because we were able to break through and beat the gun lobby.</p>\n<p>10:28:23;08</p>\n<p>And it is just a reminder of what happens if you have thoughtful effective compassionate leaders in the White House who care about us.</p>\n<p>10:28:32;05</p>\n<p>And so I enjoy us about living in this democracy because I've seen it work because I have seen us change political realities on the stickiest, toughest issue that exists.</p>\n<p>10:28:42;00</p>\n<p>The issue of guns.</p>\n<p>10:28:42;28</p>\n<p>I have seen our ability to change lives and I am just so so excited to see how many new people, how many young people are coming into this movement.</p>\n<p>10:28:53;08</p>\n<p>I'm so excited to be here with you because state parties all across the country are learning from the model that you are creating.</p>\n<p>10:28:59;22</p>\n<p>And I'm gonna be so excited to be in that hall tomorrow night to nominate Kamala Harris and Tim Wallace to be the next president and vice president of the United States.</p>\n<p>10:29:06;05</p>\n<p>Thank you, Wisconsin Dens.</p>\n<p>10:29:07;06</p>\n<p>Thanks for having me.</p>\n<p>10:29:24;09</p>\n<p>Let's give another round of applause to Senator Chris Murphy for your words and for your work, what an extraordinary week, what an extraordinary privilege it is for all of us to be here in this week in this moment.</p>\n<p>10:29:47;14</p>\n<p>And let me pull back the camera and say what a privilege and an honor it is for all of us to be Democrats to be Americans in this era in American politics, some of the lowest lows, but some of the highest highs, some of the most historic pieces of legislation and some of the most extraordinary leaders over the last couple of decades, we have seen people come onto the national stage that not only have made history but have defied what people thought was possible and I want zero in on one person who has shattered people's expectations for what they could imagine, effective leadership could be like because Democrats are not always easy cats to herd.</p>\n<p>10:30:34;19</p>\n<p>Democrats don't always agree on everything, but there's one Democrat leading the People's House in two different terms.</p>\n<p>10:30:45;13</p>\n<p>As the speaker who did not lose a vote, who organized Democrats around historic momentous pieces of legislation that passed into law and changed people's lives.</p>\n<p>10:30:59;21</p>\n<p>A speaker of the United States House, a speaker Emerita of the United States House, who has been a central figure in the history of America in this story of us becoming a more free and fair and just nation.</p>\n<p>10:31:15;03</p>\n<p>I'm so thrilled to welcome our next speaker, a dear friend and mentor the leader twice and now the leader Emeritus of the Democratic and of the entire United States House.</p>\n<p>10:31:28;23</p>\n<p>Let's give a giant Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>10:31:30;08</p>\n<p>Welcome to Nancy Pelosi.</p>\n<p>10:31:37;20</p>\n<p>Thank you.</p>\n<p>10:31:39;25</p>\n<p>Good morning, everyone.</p>\n<p>10:31:44;05</p>\n<p>I think I don't have to tell you how blessed you are with political talent.</p>\n<p>10:31:49;08</p>\n<p>I saw the governor as soon as I came in governor.</p>\n<p>10:31:52;00</p>\n<p>Thank you.</p>\n<p>10:31:52;18</p>\n<p>Thank you for your leadership.</p>\n<p>10:31:54;20</p>\n<p>He's talking to my son-in-law who's Dutch and his wife is Dutch.</p>\n<p>10:31:57;26</p>\n<p>So they're having their personal conversation there.</p>\n<p>10:32:00;21</p>\n<p>That's here for the governor.</p>\n<p>10:32:04;23</p>\n<p>Good.</p>\n<p>10:32:06;17</p>\n<p>He still isn't watching us.</p>\n<p>10:32:12;00</p>\n<p>Mark Pohan, who's chair of the co-chair of the uh where's Mark?</p>\n<p>10:32:16;08</p>\n<p>I thought I knew Mark was here earlier.</p>\n<p>10:32:18;16</p>\n<p>But anyway, co-chair of the progressive caucus in the House of Representatives, a wonderful Wi Wisconsin delegation.</p>\n<p>10:32:25;28</p>\n<p>Of course, Glenn Moore from Milwaukee.</p>\n<p>10:32:28;13</p>\n<p>She's so remarked.</p>\n<p>10:32:29;20</p>\n<p>The list goes, the list goes on, but we want the list to grow.</p>\n<p>10:32:33;02</p>\n<p>We want that list to grow.</p>\n<p>10:32:35;23</p>\n<p>You know, that Big Ben is recognized nationally as a pre eminent state party chair.</p>\n<p>10:32:50;28</p>\n<p>Every time I compliment him on being a great party chair.</p>\n<p>10:32:56;01</p>\n<p>He compliments all of you for what you do to make that possible.</p>\n<p>10:33:02;19</p>\n<p>So let's hear it for you.</p>\n<p>10:33:07;12</p>\n<p>He galvanized support all over the country in support of what you were doing to, to win the supreme court seat.</p>\n<p>10:33:16;01</p>\n<p>Wasn't that something quite remarkable?</p>\n<p>10:33:22;07</p>\n<p>His reputation is a great one.</p>\n<p>10:33:24;07</p>\n<p>That's why we call him Big Ben.</p>\n<p>10:33:28;13</p>\n<p>When he was working at the grassroots level nationally, he said I'm going home to Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>10:33:35;27</p>\n<p>It's the best place, it's my home, but it's also the best place to raise a family.</p>\n<p>10:33:43;04</p>\n<p>What better thing could he say about his state?</p>\n<p>10:33:46;27</p>\n<p>And then he came and became the state chair and now everything's riding on Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>10:33:55;13</p>\n<p>Yeah.</p>\n<p>10:33:58;28</p>\n<p>So we have to hold the Senate with Tammy Baldwin and this is too magnificent and wonderful.</p>\n<p>10:34:08;16</p>\n<p>We have to win the house and we want to grow our numbers here in Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>10:34:13;23</p>\n<p>We have to elect Kamala Harris and Tim walls, president and vice president of the United States.</p>\n<p>10:34:25;18</p>\n<p>I know you heard from some of the senators, Senator Booker Chris Murphy.</p>\n<p>10:34:29;23</p>\n<p>They make us so very, very proud in terms of the issues that we are focusing on the rest but we must, we must hold the Senate.</p>\n<p>10:34:39;17</p>\n<p>But let me just tell you why it's so urgent also to win the house.</p>\n<p>10:34:44;06</p>\n<p>You know why?</p>\n<p>10:34:44;23</p>\n<p>For every issue, every kitchen table issue and the rest.</p>\n<p>10:34:47;26</p>\n<p>But in terms of our democracy on January 6th, we must have Hakeem Jeffries with the gavel as Speaker of the House.</p>\n<p>10:34:58;29</p>\n<p>Oh, nice.</p>\n<p>10:35:01;12</p>\n<p>Because just think of this is very self-serving what I'm going to say right now.</p>\n<p>10:35:06;18</p>\n<p>Self-serving sign is up.</p>\n<p>10:35:09;20</p>\n<p>I warned you.</p>\n<p>10:35:11;17</p>\n<p>But just think of what have happened if we did not have, if I did not have the gavel on January 3rd, not me, a democratic speaker did not have the gavel on January 5th.</p>\n<p>10:35:26;14</p>\n<p>So, so everything, everything, everything is uh is, is at stake in this election.</p>\n<p>10:35:33;10</p>\n<p>What do we have to do?</p>\n<p>10:35:34;17</p>\n<p>Nobody knows it better than Ben.</p>\n<p>10:35:36;22</p>\n<p>And, and again, he's a model to the country, but we have to make sure we win.</p>\n<p>10:35:42;00</p>\n<p>People say to me what you know, Kamala, what advice would you give her?</p>\n<p>10:35:46;10</p>\n<p>No, be yourself, show your values, show your vision for America, show what's in your heart, the empathy for the American people, show your knowledge of the issue, your judgment of perspectives, your strategic knowledge of how to get things done.</p>\n<p>10:36:02;01</p>\n<p>She has all of that.</p>\n<p>10:36:04;04</p>\n<p>I know her well, for a long time personally, Pamela Harris is a person of deep faith.</p>\n<p>10:36:11;10</p>\n<p>That's what encourages her to care for people in the community and in our civic life officially.</p>\n<p>10:36:21;11</p>\n<p>She's a person of great strength, knowing her, knowing again, the priorities, the issues, the, uh, the path that we have to go on and politically, she's very, very astute.</p>\n<p>10:36:34;13</p>\n<p>She has, she has won hard races for district attorney Attorney General Senate, then Vice president of the United States.</p>\n<p>10:36:43;05</p>\n<p>And you saw how quickly politically she wrapped up this nomination.</p>\n<p>10:36:47;14</p>\n<p>So she's prepared to lead the way for us to win the win the White House.</p>\n<p>10:36:54;13</p>\n<p>She and Tim Walls.</p>\n<p>10:36:55;21</p>\n<p>Isn't he wonderful?</p>\n<p>10:36:56;26</p>\n<p>He served with what hes just remarkable.</p>\n<p>10:37:02;10</p>\n<p>So when they say, what advice would you give her?</p>\n<p>10:37:04;22</p>\n<p>I just say, be yourself.</p>\n<p>10:37:07;00</p>\n<p>But what we have to do is be ourselves in doing our political work.</p>\n<p>10:37:13;22</p>\n<p>We must, we must, she's out here.</p>\n<p>10:37:17;14</p>\n<p>We're on the ground.</p>\n<p>10:37:18;14</p>\n<p>We must own the ground.</p>\n<p>10:37:21;08</p>\n<p>Nobody knows that better than Ben Wickler.</p>\n<p>10:37:23;26</p>\n<p>That's on the ground.</p>\n<p>10:37:26;13</p>\n<p>We must own the ground.</p>\n<p>10:37:28;01</p>\n<p>We must mobilize because if you don't mobilize everything else you do is just a conversation, whether it's on TV, or the mail and blah, blah, blah, own.</p>\n<p>10:37:38;02</p>\n<p>Get out that boat, the message.</p>\n<p>10:37:41;13</p>\n<p>And tonight Christine, my daughter tells me that we are going to be approving the platform.</p>\n<p>10:37:46;11</p>\n<p>So that will be the message of our party.</p>\n<p>10:37:49;22</p>\n<p>Progressive, bold, unifying, not menacing, unifying, not menacing.</p>\n<p>10:37:57;21</p>\n<p>And I can say that as a person from San Francisco, California, what works in Michigan Millbrook in San Francisco who works in San Francisco may not work in an electoral college state like Michigan.</p>\n<p>10:38:12;11</p>\n<p>So let's win, baby.</p>\n<p>10:38:14;01</p>\n<p>That's just what we have to win.</p>\n<p>10:38:20;13</p>\n<p>Mobilize, fuel that with a message of, of hope in that and the money to get the job done.</p>\n<p>10:38:29;21</p>\n<p>And that's coming in because of the path that Kamala and Tim are, are.</p>\n<p>10:38:34;19</p>\n<p>So, I guess we'll be calling them Mr President, Mr Vice.</p>\n<p>10:38:37;23</p>\n<p>Mm.</p>\n<p>10:38:39;03</p>\n<p>How about having a woman president of now?</p>\n<p>10:38:49;25</p>\n<p>I know that's exciting but that's not why she should be president.</p>\n<p>10:38:54;14</p>\n<p>She should be president because she's the best person for the job, the best person for the job who happens to be a woman.</p>\n<p>10:39:04;08</p>\n<p>And that's icing on the cake but make no mistake, man or woman, man or woman, best person for the job.</p>\n<p>10:39:12;00</p>\n<p>And I think that that's what we have to make sure people understand when I was running for speaker.</p>\n<p>10:39:18;13</p>\n<p>I said don't vote for me because I'm a woman but don't vote against me because I'm a woman.</p>\n<p>10:39:23;19</p>\n<p>Yeah.</p>\n<p>10:39:27;12</p>\n<p>And then I had my three nos, my three nos.</p>\n<p>10:39:30;13</p>\n<p>I had the three M si got the three nos, no wasted time.</p>\n<p>10:39:34;09</p>\n<p>Right.</p>\n<p>10:39:34;12</p>\n<p>Then no wasted time.</p>\n<p>10:39:36;14</p>\n<p>No underutilized resource or that's organization mobilizing messaging and no underutilized resource and no regrets the day after the election.</p>\n<p>10:39:48;13</p>\n<p>We just could have done more, we just could have done more.</p>\n<p>10:39:55;18</p>\n<p>So I'm a, I was former chair of the party before I went to Congress.</p>\n<p>10:39:59;23</p>\n<p>I had never had any intention of running for Congress.</p>\n<p>10:40:02;14</p>\n<p>You never know what's out there.</p>\n<p>10:40:03;21</p>\n<p>Ben?</p>\n<p>10:40:03;28</p>\n<p>You have to be ready.</p>\n<p>10:40:06;07</p>\n<p>Mhm.</p>\n<p>10:40:07;12</p>\n<p>But, but, but Kamala Harris is ready.</p>\n<p>10:40:15;14</p>\n<p>Tim Walls is ready.</p>\n<p>10:40:17;26</p>\n<p>So in any case, you again, we know what is at stake.</p>\n<p>10:40:21;08</p>\n<p>Wisconsin is in uh the lead in so many ways, whether it's leading in our, our biggest product uh globally is our agriculture.</p>\n<p>10:40:33;24</p>\n<p>It's so very, very important.</p>\n<p>10:40:36;04</p>\n<p>Uh uh I see a cheese head.</p>\n<p>10:40:37;25</p>\n<p>Oh, I see a lot of cheese heads but for the, for this and so many reasons, I thank you all for your leadership.</p>\n<p>10:40:46;21</p>\n<p>Now, in this, these two races, Peter Barca was a member of Congress.</p>\n<p>10:40:52;03</p>\n<p>We want him back again.</p>\n<p>10:40:58;10</p>\n<p>He's so wonderful.</p>\n<p>10:40:59;23</p>\n<p>We want him back again.</p>\n<p>10:41:01;04</p>\n<p>And Rebecca Cook in Wisconsin three here.</p>\n<p>10:41:05;15</p>\n<p>This is very, so you can't add by subtracting, you will reelect the members who are from Wisconsin and starting in the Senate with Tammy Baldwin.</p>\n<p>10:41:18;04</p>\n<p>Tammy Baldwin started in the house.</p>\n<p>10:41:20;17</p>\n<p>I campaigned with her in Madison and the suburban, the urban rural areas in her district as well.</p>\n<p>10:41:27;14</p>\n<p>Could see this woman of Great grace.</p>\n<p>10:41:31;02</p>\n<p>Now, she was going to be the first lesbian member of Congress that we knew the first lesbian member of Congress who better than Tammy Baldwin.</p>\n<p>10:41:40;14</p>\n<p>Coming in with her commitment, her values, her vision and the rest, her graciousness, her just goodness that emanated from her.</p>\n<p>10:41:52;25</p>\n<p>And then she went on to the United States Senate and that's where she has to go again.</p>\n<p>10:41:58;12</p>\n<p>So thank you for all of that.</p>\n<p>10:42:01;24</p>\n<p>So are you ready?</p>\n<p>10:42:02;29</p>\n<p>Are you ready to just win?</p>\n<p>10:42:05;10</p>\n<p>So I won't sing the national anthem for you.</p>\n<p>10:42:08;04</p>\n<p>But I just left the Maryland delegation.</p>\n<p>10:42:10;03</p>\n<p>That's where I'm from.</p>\n<p>10:42:11;13</p>\n<p>And um originally I've been in San Francisco for 50 years raising our family.</p>\n<p>10:42:16;24</p>\n<p>My daughter, Alexandra is here with her husband, Neil.</p>\n<p>10:42:19;22</p>\n<p>This is a family visit for us.</p>\n<p>10:42:21;11</p>\n<p>My daughter Christine, active in the Democratic Party keeps reminding me the platform is coming out tonight.</p>\n<p>10:42:29;07</p>\n<p>That will be our message.</p>\n<p>10:42:31;10</p>\n<p>But when I was in Maryland, I said to them, I brag about the fact that the national anthem was written in Baltimore, Francis Scott Key, the the war of 1812.</p>\n<p>10:42:43;02</p>\n<p>All of that.</p>\n<p>10:42:43;29</p>\n<p>Now when you're at a game, Green Bay didn't do too well.</p>\n<p>10:42:49;15</p>\n<p>Last night when you're at a game, you get to the end land, the free home of the brave everybody.</p>\n<p>10:42:55;22</p>\n<p>Cheers.</p>\n<p>10:42:56;09</p>\n<p>Right.</p>\n<p>10:42:59;02</p>\n<p>I hear before that when it says proof through the night that our flag was still there, proof enough that our flags are still there.</p>\n<p>10:43:14;07</p>\n<p>We are in the night in some respects in terms of the assault on our democracy that the other side, that other guy is making.</p>\n<p>10:43:22;08</p>\n<p>It's appalling.</p>\n<p>10:43:23;21</p>\n<p>It's horrible how the Republicans could even accept such an unpatriotic thing.</p>\n<p>10:43:28;28</p>\n<p>But it is what it is.</p>\n<p>10:43:30;05</p>\n<p>And as I say, we don't agonize, we organize, we unionize, we just win baby.</p>\n<p>10:43:35;27</p>\n<p>That's what it is.</p>\n<p>10:43:38;20</p>\n<p>Yeah, but we have to prove through the night that our flag was still there.</p>\n<p>10:43:45;12</p>\n<p>And as Joe Biden has consistently said and done as President of the United States, still there with liberty and justice for all.</p>\n<p>10:43:55;13</p>\n<p>Are we ready to just win baby, elect Kamala Harris and Tim walls, President, vice President of the United States, Tammy Baldwin to the United States and Peter Barker and Rebecca to the House of Representatives.</p>\n<p>10:44:10;03</p>\n<p>Thank you for the honor of sharing some thoughts for you as a former party chair, recognizing the work that you, that you do that is running for these positions, the grassroots activity of it just to own the ground, baby.</p>\n<p>10:44:25;20</p>\n<p>And that's our message.</p>\n<p>10:44:26;17</p>\n<p>That's how we're gonna win.</p>\n<p>10:44:28;01</p>\n<p>Thank you all so much.</p>\n<p>10:44:34;09</p>\n<p>Thank you, Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>10:44:39;06</p>\n<p>Yeah.</p>\n<p>10:44:41;15</p>\n<p>Right.</p>\n<p>10:44:45;29</p>\n<p>Speaker Nancy Pelosi author, I might add of the new book must read and she reads the audio book in her own voice.</p>\n<p>10:44:59;04</p>\n<p>The Art of power, a true artist.</p>\n<p>10:45:02;20</p>\n<p>Our amazing speaker, Emerita Nancy Pelosi, Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>10:45:10;01</p>\n<p>Are you ready to own the ground?</p>\n<p>10:45:14;02</p>\n<p>Are you ready to just win, baby?</p>\n<p>10:45:17;17</p>\n<p>Let's give another giant round of applause and thank you to Nancy Pelosi for joining us this morning.</p>\n<p>10:45:22;25</p>\n<p>Holy smokes.</p>\n<p>10:45:30;01</p>\n<p>Ah, I'm thrilled to be able to welcome this morning's final guest speaker.</p>\n<p>10:45:39;22</p>\n<p>I'm so pleased and proud to introduce someone who has brought case after case after critical case forward to advance the cause of justice, freedom and accountability in the state of Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>10:45:53;18</p>\n<p>Someone.</p>\n<p>10:45:54;03</p>\n<p>I'm proud to call a friend and neighbor.</p>\n<p>10:45:56;11</p>\n<p>Our one and only attorney general of the great state of Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>10:46:00;18</p>\n<p>Josh.</p>\n<p>10:46:08;05</p>\n<p>Thank you.</p>\n<p>10:46:09;08</p>\n<p>Hello, Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>10:46:11;26</p>\n<p>Holy cow.</p>\n<p>10:46:12;27</p>\n<p>What a week this is.</p>\n<p>10:46:14;15</p>\n<p>You know, at first I got, I have to tell you a story and, and you're all gonna wanna hear this.</p>\n<p>10:46:18;28</p>\n<p>Uh, just a few minutes ago.</p>\n<p>10:46:20;23</p>\n<p>I had what I think will be a, a lifelong memory, which is, somebody came up to me and said, um, Nancy Pelosi's schedule has shifted a little bit.</p>\n<p>10:46:28;26</p>\n<p>Is it ok if she goes ahead of you, the Obamas weren't available.</p>\n<p>10:46:36;28</p>\n<p>Um, uh, the greatest speaker in American history just spoke to this audience.</p>\n<p>10:46:43;19</p>\n<p>What a day and by the, and, and what a week this has been and what a month this has been.</p>\n<p>10:46:52;25</p>\n<p>Um, I have a lot to say about that.</p>\n<p>10:46:54;27</p>\n<p>There's a lot to talk about right now, but I actually want to start with some Wisconsin business because there is a lot going on at the state level right now.</p>\n<p>10:47:03;13</p>\n<p>We, I think deserve a round of applause for all the work that you have done that the state party has done because last week and it's hard to believe this was just last week.</p>\n<p>10:47:13;18</p>\n<p>We had a primary in Wisconsin where Republicans put two amendments to grab power away from Governor Ebers and give it to our legislature.</p>\n<p>10:47:23;15</p>\n<p>And Wisconsinites organized, they got information out about the stakes of that vote and we overwhelmingly defeated those Republican amendments.</p>\n<p>10:47:33;10</p>\n<p>Great work, Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>10:47:39;02</p>\n<p>And I, I don't know if you saw Robin Voss remarks when he was asked about these amendments and what was coming in the future?</p>\n<p>10:47:46;27</p>\n<p>He said that he's going to double down on constitutional amendments.</p>\n<p>10:47:53;17</p>\n<p>Now.</p>\n<p>10:47:53;26</p>\n<p>I, I don't want to bring up bad memories, but you may remember that after Governor Ebers and I were first elected in 2018, Robin Voss began his power grab spree by bringing the legislature into special election and having them vote to take authority away from the governor's office and the A GS office.</p>\n<p>10:48:12;29</p>\n<p>But you know, I have a point I want to make about how things have gone with with Robin Voss as speaker.</p>\n<p>10:48:19;08</p>\n<p>When Robin Voss was elected, speaker, Republicans had overwhelming majorities in the state legislature.</p>\n<p>10:48:26;06</p>\n<p>Republicans controlled the governor's office.</p>\n<p>10:48:28;29</p>\n<p>Republicans controlled the A GS office.</p>\n<p>10:48:31;13</p>\n<p>Republicans had a clear majority on the state Supreme court.</p>\n<p>10:48:36;20</p>\n<p>Well, now Governor Evers is in his second term as governor.</p>\n<p>10:48:44;01</p>\n<p>I am proud to be in my second term as attorney general.</p>\n<p>10:48:48;07</p>\n<p>Our state Supreme court majority has flipped Robin Boss's power grab with the amendments has gone down.</p>\n<p>10:48:56;08</p>\n<p>Robin Voss has seen defeat after defeat after defeat, but we've got one more defeat to hand him because this fall, we have the opportunity to vote with fair maps for the first time in more than a decade.</p>\n<p>10:49:12;03</p>\n<p>So this fall, let's flip the majority in the assembly and let's end the speakership of Robin Vos, we, we've got seats to gain in the Senate as well and we have a clear path to a majority in the Senate if we put in the work in this election and the next election and think about what it would mean in Wisconsin to have Republic to have Republican majorities gone and to have Democrats in the majority.</p>\n<p>10:49:44;01</p>\n<p>It means common sense, gun safety legislation get past, like Chris Murphy talked about it means expanding Medicaid.</p>\n<p>10:49:51;28</p>\n<p>So more of our residents are able to get access to the health care they need.</p>\n<p>10:49:56;20</p>\n<p>With a democratic majority, we can codify reproductive rights into Wisconsin law and we can finally fully fund education in Wisconsin if we have a democratic majority.</p>\n<p>10:50:14;01</p>\n<p>And of course, we've got critical congressional races.</p>\n<p>10:50:17;18</p>\n<p>The two that Speaker Pelosi mentioned, I also want to highlight the eighth congressional district where our outstanding candidate Kristen Lyerly Kristen, are you here?</p>\n<p>10:50:27;03</p>\n<p>Is running, is running to win that district and flip that blue.</p>\n<p>10:50:32;28</p>\n<p>Now, I don't need to tell anybody here about the stakes in the senate election and how critical it is that we reelect Tammy Baldwin.</p>\n<p>10:50:39;18</p>\n<p>This is somebody who fights every day for Wisconsinites.</p>\n<p>10:50:44;20</p>\n<p>Tammy Baldwin has gone to bed for us.</p>\n<p>10:50:47;11</p>\n<p>She's fighting for Buy America.</p>\n<p>10:50:49;13</p>\n<p>She has succeeded in protecting same sex marriages.</p>\n<p>10:50:53;05</p>\n<p>She is fighting to codify reproductive rights at the federal level.</p>\n<p>10:50:57;27</p>\n<p>Tammy Baldwin has expanded access to affordable health care.</p>\n<p>10:51:02;05</p>\n<p>She is a champion for us on issue after issue and her opponent is in Wisconsin sometimes.</p>\n<p>10:51:11;16</p>\n<p>Well, she has been talking to communities to people across our state.</p>\n<p>10:51:16;11</p>\n<p>Eric Hovde has been, I think doing beach is the phrase for that.</p>\n<p>10:51:22;25</p>\n<p>The contrast could not be clear, but he has talked about ending the Affordable Care Act.</p>\n<p>10:51:27;21</p>\n<p>He's talked about how he's wanted to overturn Roe V. Wade.</p>\n<p>10:51:32;16</p>\n<p>The stakes could not be more clear.</p>\n<p>10:51:35;03</p>\n<p>And speaking of races where the stakes could not be more clear.</p>\n<p>10:51:38;20</p>\n<p>We have all been hearing about the presidential election for the last few days.</p>\n<p>10:51:43;11</p>\n<p>I just want to add a few points to some of what we've heard first.</p>\n<p>10:51:47;09</p>\n<p>I, I believe that this is the most important election in any of our lifetimes.</p>\n<p>10:51:53;04</p>\n<p>The difference in the path that Kamala Harris and Tim walls have laid out and the path that Donald Trump and JD Vance have laid out is as big a difference as you can possibly imagine.</p>\n<p>10:52:04;15</p>\n<p>But let's talk about competence, you know, the values, the principles matter, but let's talk about competence and I'll just give you one example.</p>\n<p>10:52:12;16</p>\n<p>I spent a lot of time as your attorney general thinking about public safety.</p>\n<p>10:52:16;27</p>\n<p>We've held big pharmaceutical companies accountable for their role in the opioid epidemic.</p>\n<p>10:52:21;20</p>\n<p>We fought to strengthen our sexual assault kit laws.</p>\n<p>10:52:24;29</p>\n<p>We have stood up against gun violence and for common sense, gun safety measures and when it comes to public safety, I don't know if you saw JD Vance's remarks last week in Milwaukee, but in talking about his approach to public safety, I'm not making this up.</p>\n<p>10:52:41;03</p>\n<p>He pointed people to the movie, The Gangs of New York for how we should think about public safety in Kamala Harris.</p>\n<p>10:52:49;20</p>\n<p>We have the former attorney general of the largest state in the country who has taken on people responsible for mortgage fraud.</p>\n<p>10:52:57;01</p>\n<p>A former prosecutor from one of our largest counties who put dangerous violent offenders behind bars.</p>\n<p>10:53:05;16</p>\n<p>And on the Republican side, you've got one guy who's seen gangs of New York and another guy who's seen Silence of the lambs.</p>\n<p>10:53:12;19</p>\n<p>This is not a tough choice.</p>\n<p>10:53:15;22</p>\n<p>I will say if there's one movie I associate with Donald Trump, it's actually a Jim Carrey movie.</p>\n<p>10:53:21;23</p>\n<p>It's called Liar, Liar.</p>\n<p>10:53:29;04</p>\n<p>But we also see the impact of that expertise in the results we've gotten when Donald Trump was in office.</p>\n<p>10:53:34;27</p>\n<p>As president, violent crime went up, shootings went up, homicides went up including in Wisconsin and with the Biden Harris administration in office, shootings have dropped.</p>\n<p>10:53:48;24</p>\n<p>Homicides have dropped at historic levels.</p>\n<p>10:53:52;15</p>\n<p>They have been investing in and supporting the FBI and the US DOJ while Donald Trump has been attacking them and claims that if he's elected president, he will weaponize them.</p>\n<p>10:54:04;25</p>\n<p>That is not an approach that is going to make our communities safer.</p>\n<p>10:54:08;09</p>\n<p>It's not an approach that's gonna make our community stronger.</p>\n<p>10:54:10;25</p>\n<p>We cannot afford another four years of their incompetence in the White House and when it comes to our values, the contrast could not be clear.</p>\n<p>10:54:20;11</p>\n<p>I wanna tell you a quick story about Kamala Harris.</p>\n<p>10:54:23;16</p>\n<p>She is fighting to strengthen our middle class.</p>\n<p>10:54:26;05</p>\n<p>She's fighting to expand access to affordable health care.</p>\n<p>10:54:29;14</p>\n<p>She's fighting to protect our natural resources and she has made our freedom a centerpiece of her campaign.</p>\n<p>10:54:36;11</p>\n<p>Well, when the Dobbs decision was pending at the Supreme Court, we had a good sense of where that case was going.</p>\n<p>10:54:43;19</p>\n<p>And Kamala Harris herself, a former A G convened several A GS including me from around the country asked us to come meet with her at the White House.</p>\n<p>10:54:54;10</p>\n<p>So several of us went there.</p>\n<p>10:54:55;25</p>\n<p>Some of us showed up by Zoom and Kamala Harris wanted to hear from us about what we needed in our States.</p>\n<p>10:55:02;04</p>\n<p>If the Dobbs decision came out the way we feared, she wanted to hear about how we were elevating the concerns that people were having about their own reproductive freedom, about the health of their families if access to abortion was lost and she wanted to know how she could help.</p>\n<p>10:55:18;25</p>\n<p>Well, it turned out that was the day before the Dobbs decision came down.</p>\n<p>10:55:23;20</p>\n<p>And you may remember four days after that decision, Governor Evers and I announced a lawsuit to block enforcement of our 1849 ban and we have now restored reproductive freedom in Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>10:55:40;21</p>\n<p>But, but the fight isn't over, it is still going on in the courts, it's going to go on in our state legislature and it's going to go on at the federal level.</p>\n<p>10:55:49;00</p>\n<p>Kamala Harris is a leader who understands the importance of protecting our freedom and who's going to put in the work to get it done.</p>\n<p>10:55:56;11</p>\n<p>On the other side have, how many of you have heard about project 2025?</p>\n<p>10:56:02;11</p>\n<p>The secret is out, right.</p>\n<p>10:56:04;04</p>\n<p>The secret is out 900 plus pages that I can boil down.</p>\n<p>10:56:09;17</p>\n<p>Actually, I can save you a lot of time.</p>\n<p>10:56:11;11</p>\n<p>It's about attacking our freedoms.</p>\n<p>10:56:13;16</p>\n<p>It's about attacking the middle class and it's about attacking equality of opportunity.</p>\n<p>10:56:20;05</p>\n<p>So with those 40 hours, we just saved, let's make sure that 2025 project doesn't go into effect in Wisconsin or anywhere in this country.</p>\n<p>10:56:30;11</p>\n<p>It's a, it's a project about fundamentally taking our country backwards, taking us backwards in some cases, hundreds of years.</p>\n<p>10:56:40;09</p>\n<p>But as Vice President Harris likes to say about going backwards, we're not going back, we are not going to go back, but we know what it takes in Wisconsin to make sure that we move forward and not backward.</p>\n<p>10:56:55;17</p>\n<p>We know what it means to put in the kind of work we do to get elections across the finish line and to win.</p>\n<p>10:57:01;17</p>\n<p>And if you need any extra motivation over the next 76 days, let me just say this.</p>\n<p>10:57:07;14</p>\n<p>I don't know how many of you had the chance to hear from Hillary Clinton, uh on the first night of the convention.</p>\n<p>10:57:14;04</p>\n<p>But it brought back a lot of memories for me from that 2016 election.</p>\n<p>10:57:18;05</p>\n<p>And one thing that I will always remember is the videos that were going viral on election day of people who had cast their ballot, had those I voted stickers and put them on Susan B, Anthony's gravestone.</p>\n<p>10:57:32;11</p>\n<p>And what we all thought was going to be a celebratory night as those election results rolled in became a nightmare.</p>\n<p>10:57:39;25</p>\n<p>Uh And we have now lived through years and years of Donald Trump's divisiveness and even now with Joe Biden, the White House, Donald Trump casts a pall over what is happening in this country.</p>\n<p>10:57:53;09</p>\n<p>He brings division, he encourages Republicans to obstruct.</p>\n<p>10:57:57;02</p>\n<p>He has stood in the way of progress.</p>\n<p>10:58:01;21</p>\n<p>But in 76 days, we can fundamentally change that narrative.</p>\n<p>10:58:07;16</p>\n<p>We can elect Kamala Harris as the next president of the United States.</p>\n<p>10:58:11;13</p>\n<p>And think about what that will mean for little girls across this country, not just to be told that they can do anything but to see it in the highest office of our land.</p>\n<p>10:58:23;16</p>\n<p>And as the father of two boys, let me tell you think about what it means for all of our Children to grow up in an America where equality of opportunity is not just something we say, but is something we can show is true for every American when we stand up for equal justice under the law.</p>\n<p>10:58:41;08</p>\n<p>We all benefit when we speak out against hate against the transgender community.</p>\n<p>10:58:47;02</p>\n<p>All of us become safer when we speak out against racial injustice.</p>\n<p>10:58:51;22</p>\n<p>All of us get to live in a society that is more equal when we come together.</p>\n<p>10:58:57;02</p>\n<p>When we are united, we are as strong as we can be and we all benefit no matter what.</p>\n<p>10:59:03;16</p>\n<p>Donald Trump and JD Vance say as they try to divide us.</p>\n<p>10:59:07;08</p>\n<p>So in 76 days, let's get engaged.</p>\n<p>10:59:10;20</p>\n<p>Let's make sure we knock on doors.</p>\n<p>10:59:12;28</p>\n<p>Let's make sure we pick up the phone.</p>\n<p>10:59:14;18</p>\n<p>Let's have those difficult conversations with our friends and our family and our neighbors and let's elect Kamala Harris and Tim walls as the next president and vice president of the United States.</p>\n<p>10:59:26;12</p>\n<p>Let's do it.</p>\n<p>10:59:27;01</p>\n<p>Let's go.</p>\n<p>10:59:27;19</p>\n<p>Thank you, everybody.</p>\n<p>10:59:29;09</p>\n<p>Thank you, Attorney General, Josh Cole.</p>\n<p>10:59:40;00</p>\n<p>Let's give him of applause fighting for all of us.</p>\n<p>10:59:46;21</p>\n<p>Oh, what a breakfast.</p>\n<p>10:59:49;08</p>\n<p>What speakers?</p>\n<p>10:59:50;08</p>\n<p>What a day we have got.</p>\n<p>10:59:52;23</p>\n<p>We have one final order of business before we get, which is the drawings for the guest masses and the prizes for today before I introduce our executive director, Cassie Felli and our deputy executive directors, Abel for the drawing.</p>\n<p>11:00:08;04</p>\n<p>Let me say a couple of things, a reminder first to make sure tonight if you are in, if you have a delegate pass or a guest pass that you are in your seat by 6 p.m. So you can cheer on Mayor Cavalier Johnson.</p>\n<p>11:00:21;01</p>\n<p>When he addresses our convention tonight, we are so excited, so excited to show what Wisconsin sounds like when we cheer.</p>\n<p>11:00:31;11</p>\n<p>Secondly, if you do not have a pass tonight, there are many places you could go to watch.</p>\n<p>11:00:36;00</p>\n<p>One of them is the into action reception area where there's beautiful screens and snacks and food and art.</p>\n<p>11:00:41;22</p>\n<p>And everybody is invited there throughout the day.</p>\n<p>11:00:43;20</p>\n<p>And then after the gavel drops, everyone is invited to DNC committee man, Alex Lasry special party to celebrate the Wisconsin delegation.</p>\n<p>11:00:52;03</p>\n<p>So make sure you go to that party tonight and lastly be thinking about your stuff.</p>\n<p>11:00:59;06</p>\n<p>I know of at least one phone that has gone missing in this very room this morning.</p>\n<p>11:01:03;06</p>\n<p>If you find that room, bring it to the reception table so that its owner can claim it, but make sure you have your phone.</p>\n<p>11:01:10;19</p>\n<p>Make sure you have your cheese head.</p>\n<p>11:01:12;07</p>\n<p>Love seeing some cheese heads here this morning, be there tonight.</p>\n<p>11:01:15;20</p>\n<p>Ready to go.</p>\n<p>11:01:16;13</p>\n<p>You might want to have some extra water and some snack bars.</p>\n<p>11:01:18;29</p>\n<p>It's gonna be an amazing, amazing night.</p>\n<p>11:01:21;16</p>\n<p>And with that, let's give a giant round of applause.</p>\n<p>11:01:24;12</p>\n<p>Let's give a round of applause to everyone working here at the Sheridan Riverwalk today.</p>\n<p>11:01:29;08</p>\n<p>Everyone on the Democratic Party of Wisconsin team who's working here today and let's give a big Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>11:01:34;24</p>\n<p>Thank you and welcome to

Wide of Puerto Vallarta STORYLINE: Tourists fled hotels, desperately seeking flights home, and 15-thousand residents were ordered to higher ground on Thursday as Hurricane John roared toward the resort of Cabo San Lucas. The hurricane soaked beaches on the mainland's Pacific coast on Thursday before it began turning toward the Baja California, where it was scheduled to nick the peninsula's southern tip on Friday. Shop owners boarded up windows and 15 shelters were set up to house the evacuees. Many tourists were also leaving the city. "We are going to the airport now to try and see if there is a flight available," South African tourist Dan Deioboto told Associated Press Television as he stopped at a local gas station. At the airport, hundreds of tourists battled for seats on the few planes heading out of the isolated peninsula. New Orleans tourist Linda Laport, who experienced Hurricane Katrina, said she knew she had to "pack and go." A hurricane warning was still in effect for a 300-mile (480-kilometre) stretch of coast, from the port of Manzanillo to the fishing and shipping community of San Blas, including the resort of Puerto Vallarta. In Puerto Vallarta, skies were cloudy but no rain was falling as residents walked to work and a handful of tourists strolled along the waterfront promenade in front of a calm sea. Local authorities urged people to take precautions, but emergency shelters were mostly empty under cloudy but dry skies. One local resident said Michael Watts said, " we have been trying to take as much precautions as necessary with the hurricane. And keeping on track on what the weather channel and some of the storm networks tell us how bad it could be here." Most businesses along the waterfront were closed, and employees moved merchandise away from the windows, but only a few bothered to board up or tape over their storefronts. As a precaution, however, civil protection authorities urged people to leave the waterfront avenue by late morning. By midday (1700 GMT) Hurricane John was moving northwest at 14 miles per hour (22 kilometres per hour) and had maximum sustained winds of 125 miles per hour (205 kilometres per hour) Forecasters at the US National Weather Centre in Miami warned John could drop up to 18 inches of rain in some places and create up to a 5-foot storm surge. Forecasters also said John wasn't likely to affect the United States - cooler Pacific waters tend to diminish storms before they reach California. Meanwhile, a new hurricane formed farther west. Hurricane Kristy, with winds of nearly 75 miles per hour (120 kilometres per hour) was 690 miles (1,110 kilometres) away from John, but forecasters said some interaction was possible. If that happened, Kristy would likely be absorbed by the larger John, forecasters said.

</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><b>--VIDEO SHOWS--</b></p>\n<p>We're so lucky to be here at this moment.</p>\n<p>09:23:57;08</p>\n<p>And can you imagine how frustrating it must be to be Donald Trump at this moment and watch this convention and think how, how completely outclassed you are by Democrats at this moment.</p>\n<p>09:24:10;26</p>\n<p>And now we're here for another amazing Wisconsin Democratic Party breakfast.</p>\n<p>09:24:16;23</p>\n<p>Uh I wanna start with a couple of quick announcements and then introduce our first speaker who I could not be more excited about.</p>\n<p>09:24:23;10</p>\n<p>Uh We have uh a, we had a, an amazing night last night.</p>\n<p>09:24:28;21</p>\n<p>We have as I'll, I'll, I'll mention again, we have a limited number of seats in the arena.</p>\n<p>09:24:34;01</p>\n<p>We're able to accommodate some guests and seats.</p>\n<p>09:24:36;13</p>\n<p>If there are people that are not in their seats, as we go to these final two nights, there's every possibility that every single delegate will be there and, and wanting to be in their seats in the delegation.</p>\n<p>09:24:45;20</p>\n<p>So two things that means one is if you're a, a guest and uh if, if, if there's some uh person from another delegation, someone who's around and they're in the Wisconsin area.</p>\n<p>09:24:57;22</p>\n<p>If we start getting close to capacity, we will ask folks to move so that we have all Wisconsin delegates in those delegate seats.</p>\n<p>09:25:04;20</p>\n<p>Of course, we're happy to accommodate friends if there's, if there's open space, but we wanna make sure our delegates are in those spots.</p>\n<p>09:25:10;18</p>\n<p>And the second thing I'll say is that tonight and tomorrow night, uh the, the if for any guest that doesn't get their name pulled out of the box, the box and it wants to make sure they're watching the speeches.</p>\n<p>09:25:22;14</p>\n<p>There's a wonderful space with a, with a watch party that's happening every night.</p>\n<p>09:25:26;27</p>\n<p>In fact, it's open every day from noon until 10 p.m. And then until the, until the end of the convention, it's called into action and it is not far away.</p>\n<p>09:25:37;19</p>\n<p>It's at 2226 West Walnut Street.</p>\n<p>09:25:41;10</p>\n<p>So if you're looking for a place to gather with fellow Democrats and friends and you're a guest of this delegation, that's a great place to go.</p>\n<p>09:25:47;16</p>\n<p>They also have programming all day every day.</p>\n<p>09:25:49;12</p>\n<p>They have amazing speakers.</p>\n<p>09:25:50;22</p>\n<p>If they have an art exhibit, it's a really cool, a cool space and the cool thing if you haven't checked it out, so we'll send that information out, but wanted to make sure to flag that.</p>\n<p>09:25:58;13</p>\n<p>There are great places to watch the convention if you're not in the hall.</p>\n<p>09:26:01;14</p>\n<p>And if you are in the hall, it is, it is really an amazing, amazing experience.</p>\n<p>09:26:07;11</p>\n<p>Ok.</p>\n<p>09:26:08;20</p>\n<p>With all those uh pieces laid out, I am so thrilled.</p>\n<p>09:26:12;13</p>\n<p>To introduce our next speaker.</p>\n<p>09:26:14;02</p>\n<p>We talk a lot about how President Biden and Vice President Harris are leading the most pro union administration in the history of the United States of America.</p>\n<p>09:26:26;27</p>\n<p>They lead with their values.</p>\n<p>09:26:28;14</p>\n<p>They walk the walk, they walk the walk on picket lines, running a pro union pro worker administration because this party is anchored by our eternal core partner, the labor movement, it means having a policy, a Department of Labor, a leader in the Department of Labor who champions the voices and the fight of working people every single day.</p>\n<p>09:26:52;02</p>\n<p>And today she is bringing that championship directly here to the Wisconsin Democratic delegation breakfast.</p>\n<p>09:26:59;08</p>\n<p>Let's welcome Biden Harris Department of Labor Secretary, Julie Sue.</p>\n<p>09:27:09;07</p>\n<p>Yes.</p>\n<p>09:27:11;06</p>\n<p>Ok.</p>\n<p>09:27:17;16</p>\n<p>Hello, Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>09:27:21;14</p>\n<p>Hold on.</p>\n<p>09:27:22;01</p>\n<p>I just got to get a photo of what I get to see.</p>\n<p>09:27:24;03</p>\n<p>Just looking at all of you makes me very happy.</p>\n<p>09:27:28;23</p>\n<p>All right.</p>\n<p>09:27:29;10</p>\n<p>Thank you all so much.</p>\n<p>09:27:30;15</p>\n<p>I see that the cheese heads are either at the on the table or back in the hotel rooms, but it was awesome to see them last night.</p>\n<p>09:27:37;20</p>\n<p>Um So I'm so happy to be here with all of you as some of, you know, I am a daughter of Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>09:27:45;19</p>\n<p>I was born a badger born right in Madison.</p>\n<p>09:27:50;27</p>\n<p>So it's so good to be with all of you.</p>\n<p>09:27:53;08</p>\n<p>And of course, I'm here today in my personal capacity as a um a as original Wisconsinite.</p>\n<p>09:27:59;16</p>\n<p>Um And as somebody who is, could not be more excited about this moment that we are in and I don't need to tell Wisconsin Democrats how to get it done.</p>\n<p>09:28:07;27</p>\n<p>You guys are doing it every single day and I'm just so proud to watch it.</p>\n<p>09:28:13;00</p>\n<p>I'm so proud to cheer you on and I will see you all again in your home state.</p>\n<p>09:28:16;29</p>\n<p>But for today, I wanna say a little bit about another um daughter of Wisconsin, our next president, Kamala Harris.</p>\n<p>09:28:28;02</p>\n<p>So I was actually with her, um, one day, a couple of months ago when we were, we were both back in Wisconsin and we, she visited her, uh her original home as you may have seen.</p>\n<p>09:28:39;29</p>\n<p>And we all know that this is a candidate, a future president who represents the best of Wisconsin and the best of this country.</p>\n<p>09:28:50;05</p>\n<p>And I've known her for a little over a decade, about a dozen years because of our time together in California when she was the attorney general, I was the California labor commissioner, fighting to end wage theft, fighting to protect working people.</p>\n<p>09:29:06;03</p>\n<p>Thank you.</p>\n<p>09:29:06;22</p>\n<p>And we worked together.</p>\n<p>09:29:07;29</p>\n<p>Actually, we collaborated on combating wage theft on making sure the most vulnerable people in our communities knew that the government had an ally and had somebody on their side.</p>\n<p>09:29:18;09</p>\n<p>And that's the kind of person that Kamala Harris is right.</p>\n<p>09:29:20;16</p>\n<p>She's somebody who's gonna fight for people who aren't represented.</p>\n<p>09:29:23;05</p>\n<p>She's somebody who has taken on um, abusers on behalf of women in Children.</p>\n<p>09:29:28;12</p>\n<p>She's somebody who has protected, um, working people from abusive corporations and she's somebody who's fought for homeowners, um, against big banks.</p>\n<p>09:29:37;06</p>\n<p>And that's what I have seen in her, um, as my home state, us senator and what we have all gotten to see from her as our United States vice president.</p>\n<p>09:29:46;24</p>\n<p>And it's what's embodied in her opportunity that she seeks to build right a place where every child is going to um grow up and know that there's real opportunity um uh in which no child grows up in poverty uh in which we actually protect our communities and our climate.</p>\n<p>09:30:06;05</p>\n<p>And so you all know who she is and this is such an exciting time where we get to work to elect her.</p>\n<p>09:30:11;13</p>\n<p>I also wanna say something about the other guy.</p>\n<p>09:30:15;20</p>\n<p>Yeah, in a lot of elections, you've got somebody who's basically, you know, the incumbent party and then somebody who's the challenger, right?</p>\n<p>09:30:23;28</p>\n<p>And you don't really know exactly what they're gonna do when they get into office.</p>\n<p>09:30:29;10</p>\n<p>We know exactly what he's going to do when he gets into office because he's been there already, right?</p>\n<p>09:30:35;05</p>\n<p>We know what that looks like.</p>\n<p>09:30:36;16</p>\n<p>We all remember the, the, the sense of dread, the sense of anxiety if it wasn't about something he was gonna do to uh you know, in, in a policy way to make things worse for us.</p>\n<p>09:30:46;19</p>\n<p>It was though some way he was gonna embarrass us, uh, on the national stage or even the international stage.</p>\n<p>09:30:52;02</p>\n<p>And let's just be clear, someone with a record like his seeking to get that same job again.</p>\n<p>09:31:01;10</p>\n<p>Can you imagine anybody actually having done what they did in that job once getting the job again?</p>\n<p>09:31:09;26</p>\n<p>Right.</p>\n<p>09:31:10;20</p>\n<p>When you leave that job and there's fewer jobs in the country than when you got there.</p>\n<p>09:31:17;15</p>\n<p>Who says you get another chance, right?</p>\n<p>09:31:21;03</p>\n<p>When you were president during a global crisis and you not only had no idea what to do but denied that it was a crisis.</p>\n<p>09:31:29;19</p>\n<p>Do you get that job again?</p>\n<p>09:31:32;01</p>\n<p>I don't think so.</p>\n<p>09:31:33;13</p>\n<p>Right?</p>\n<p>09:31:34;16</p>\n<p>And when you spent the entire time that you were there stomping on demeaning, belittling women, do you get that job again?</p>\n<p>09:31:44;06</p>\n<p>I don't think so.</p>\n<p>09:31:45;29</p>\n<p>When you spent that entire time there rolling back the clock, turning back civil rights, denying voting rights.</p>\n<p>09:31:54;22</p>\n<p>Do you think you get that job again?</p>\n<p>09:31:57;12</p>\n<p>I don't think so.</p>\n<p>09:31:58;20</p>\n<p>So this man has said, look, I get to do what I want, right?</p>\n<p>09:32:01;20</p>\n<p>I get to make fun of Kamala Harris.</p>\n<p>09:32:03;02</p>\n<p>I get to say what I want because that's my way, folks, we have 76 days to tell him that his way is not our way.</p>\n<p>09:32:12;04</p>\n<p>It is not the Wisconsin way and it's not the American way and we're gonna get that done.</p>\n<p>09:32:19;13</p>\n<p>And you know, I am here in my personal capacity.</p>\n<p>09:32:21;09</p>\n<p>So I'm not gonna talk about all the great work that we have done together with you all in Wisconsin, together with Governor evers to build our infrastructure, to protect working people.</p>\n<p>09:32:31;14</p>\n<p>But I do wanna say one thing in my personal capacity because the other ticket is trying to say that they are the ticket and the party of working people.</p>\n<p>09:32:42;16</p>\n<p>Yeah, give us a break, right?</p>\n<p>09:32:45;11</p>\n<p>You can't be against overtime pay and say that you're a pro worker, you can't be anti-immigrant and pro worker.</p>\n<p>09:33:01;10</p>\n<p>We are not going back to a time where immigrants were vilified and where policies of the border were based on race and religion and calling countries shithole countries.</p>\n<p>09:33:10;02</p>\n<p>We're not doing that.</p>\n<p>09:33:14;09</p>\n<p>You cannot be pro sexual harassment and pro worker doesn't work like that.</p>\n<p>09:33:23;00</p>\n<p>You can't be anti voting rights and pro worker working people.</p>\n<p>09:33:29;13</p>\n<p>Unions are the fight about the basics of democracy, right?</p>\n<p>09:33:33;09</p>\n<p>How we vote, how we participate, how we look out for the common good over the individual good, right?</p>\n<p>09:33:39;12</p>\n<p>You cannot be pro Elon Musk and pro worker and you definitely cannot be anti union and pro worker.</p>\n<p>09:33:54;20</p>\n<p>So Wisconsin, we got 76 days to elect a real pro worker, pro women, pro civil rights, pro voting rights person into this office.</p>\n<p>09:34:06;09</p>\n<p>We're gonna make history because it's high time.</p>\n<p>09:34:08;29</p>\n<p>We have that woman of color lead our country, right?</p>\n<p>09:34:14;29</p>\n<p>And the most qualified person on the ballot.</p>\n<p>09:34:18;25</p>\n<p>Let's elect Vice President Harris and governor Walls to be the next president and vice president of the United States of America.</p>\n<p>09:34:26;15</p>\n<p>We're only gonna do this when Wisconsin gets it done and you are gonna do it because you know that the best way to get people out to vote is not through polls, it's not through commercials as important as those are.</p>\n<p>09:34:44;13</p>\n<p>It's not even through conventions as great as this is for us to be together here.</p>\n<p>09:34:49;18</p>\n<p>It's through talking to individuals and so each of us, each of you, I know this.</p>\n<p>09:34:55;28</p>\n<p>My team knows this.</p>\n<p>09:34:56;20</p>\n<p>We are in it.</p>\n<p>09:34:57;11</p>\n<p>I'm not gonna ask anybody to do anything.</p>\n<p>09:34:58;18</p>\n<p>I'm not willing to do.</p>\n<p>09:34:59;21</p>\n<p>So, we've gotta be in it and we've gotta have a plan to reach every single person that we know and not take anybody for granted, right?</p>\n<p>09:35:06;17</p>\n<p>Our family members, our friends, our neighbors, the parents of the kids at our schools, right?</p>\n<p>09:35:13;02</p>\n<p>Everybody we know we should be talking to them, we should be telling them why it's so important to vote.</p>\n<p>09:35:18;17</p>\n<p>We should remind them why somebody who failed so miserably at their job once, should never get another chance to do it.</p>\n<p>09:35:27;11</p>\n<p>And we should be talking about why the America that we love should be an America of opportunity, of joy, of hope of a president that reflects all of those things.</p>\n<p>09:35:38;09</p>\n<p>So make a plan for everyone, you know, to get to the polls and let's do this, Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>09:35:42;25</p>\n<p>Thank you so much for everything you're already doing and I will see you back in Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>09:35:51;13</p>\n<p>Right.</p>\n<p>09:35:54;01</p>\n<p>Another round of applause for fellow Wisconsinite, our great Secretary of Labor here in her personal capacity, Julie Su ah, before I introduce our next speaker, I wanna share something.</p>\n<p>09:36:13;21</p>\n<p>I'm wildly wildly excited about, which is that tonight on the conventions stage, we are going to be hearing from Milwaukee's own mayor Cavalier Johnson.</p>\n<p>09:36:26;17</p>\n<p>Let's give him a round of applause and let me ask, let me ask everyone here to take extra special care to be in their seats at six o'clock PM tonight.</p>\n<p>09:36:37;28</p>\n<p>So that when we see him in the six o'clock hour, we can bring down the roof of the United Center with our cheers and applause with our chief heads waving in the air to welcome Mayor Johnson to the national stage here at the convention.</p>\n<p>09:36:52;19</p>\n<p>So mark your calendar.</p>\n<p>09:36:54;05</p>\n<p>If you haven't already, let's make sure we're there ready to rock and cheer as loud as we can.</p>\n<p>09:36:59;23</p>\n<p>And let's prepare those cheering voices by welcoming another Wisconsinite, another Wisconsin champion for workers, another Wisconsin champion for the progressive causes to which all of us have devoted so much of our lives.</p>\n<p>09:37:14;20</p>\n<p>My congressman, a champion for all of us.</p>\n<p>09:37:18;03</p>\n<p>The great, the one the only mark.</p>\n<p>09:37:26;19</p>\n<p>Good morning.</p>\n<p>09:37:29;16</p>\n<p>Thank you.</p>\n<p>09:37:30;10</p>\n<p>Thank you very much.</p>\n<p>09:37:31;08</p>\n<p>Thank you Ben.</p>\n<p>09:37:33;02</p>\n<p>And let's give another round of applause to Julie Sue.</p>\n<p>09:37:35;16</p>\n<p>She is an amazing labor secretary.</p>\n<p>09:37:39;28</p>\n<p>Although I think I should just say the honorable Julie Sue by the official rules.</p>\n<p>09:37:44;05</p>\n<p>How are we doing this morning?</p>\n<p>09:37:46;14</p>\n<p>All right, by show of hands who's got six hours or more of sleep?</p>\n<p>09:37:50;14</p>\n<p>That's what I thought.</p>\n<p>09:37:51;21</p>\n<p>I'm gonna get 4 to 6. All right.</p>\n<p>09:37:54;16</p>\n<p>How many are under four H?</p>\n<p>09:37:57;07</p>\n<p>Those are the honest ones.</p>\n<p>09:37:58;17</p>\n<p>Thank you.</p>\n<p>09:37:59;09</p>\n<p>All right.</p>\n<p>09:38:00;03</p>\n<p>Well, it is amazing.</p>\n<p>09:38:01;14</p>\n<p>You're here this morning.</p>\n<p>09:38:02;24</p>\n<p>Uh, first off, I wanna thank, and we all need to thank the staff volunteers and everyone involved with the Wisconsin Democratic Party.</p>\n<p>09:38:13;23</p>\n<p>We have the best party in the country and that's because of our chair, Ben Wickler and his amazing team.</p>\n<p>09:38:21;24</p>\n<p>So let's give them some rousing.</p>\n<p>09:38:23;22</p>\n<p>Thanks for having a terrific week.</p>\n<p>09:38:30;11</p>\n<p>And what a great week.</p>\n<p>09:38:31;18</p>\n<p>It's been so far, although it's been two days, it feels like a week.</p>\n<p>09:38:34;25</p>\n<p>Uh but we'll soon go back home and the real work will begin because we live in a purple state.</p>\n<p>09:38:42;19</p>\n<p>That means we have some red and maroon areas.</p>\n<p>09:38:45;21</p>\n<p>We have some beautiful indigo blue areas, but overall, we are purple and no one knows that more than the people in this room that we do not make politics a spectator sport.</p>\n<p>09:38:58;12</p>\n<p>Uh We are in the game.</p>\n<p>09:39:00;03</p>\n<p>We are getting sweaty occasionally.</p>\n<p>09:39:02;05</p>\n<p>We'll pull a calf muscle, but we get right back up, but that's what it takes to win in a state like Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>09:39:10;03</p>\n<p>And we know there is so very much at stake.</p>\n<p>09:39:14;01</p>\n<p>First of all, let's thank our great governor Tony Evers and a just state Supreme Court for Fair Maps in Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>09:39:42;05</p>\n<p>Look as someone who ran the Assembly Democratic campaign committee back in 2008 when we took the majority back for the first time in 14 years.</p>\n<p>09:39:50;20</p>\n<p>And then we faced the 2010 depressing election cycle.</p>\n<p>09:39:54;13</p>\n<p>Hundreds of state legislators lost across the country in a GOP wave.</p>\n<p>09:39:59;25</p>\n<p>We had a gerrymandered State of Wisconsin as well as other states in the country.</p>\n<p>09:40:04;28</p>\n<p>So to finally have fair maps that give us a real chance to get the majority a long overdue priority.</p>\n<p>09:40:12;23</p>\n<p>We have to give special thanks to Governor Evers Maggie and others in his office for all that they helped us do to get those fair maps and I haven't heard it said yet.</p>\n<p>09:40:25;18</p>\n<p>So I'm gonna say it now.</p>\n<p>09:40:27;02</p>\n<p>Three term.</p>\n<p>09:40:28;03</p>\n<p>Tony sounds really great to me.</p>\n<p>09:40:35;27</p>\n<p>Hey, so we've got to help in the assembly and the Senate districts across the state.</p>\n<p>09:40:43;08</p>\n<p>We can pick up the State Assembly this cycle and get us to the net with the state Senate for 2026.</p>\n<p>09:40:51;06</p>\n<p>So is anyone I've had when I was in the assembly is one of the favorite jobs I've ever had in my life.</p>\n<p>09:40:57;14</p>\n<p>I can tell you how important it is to give that back up to the governor so they can get some real things done.</p>\n<p>09:41:03;22</p>\n<p>We're gonna do all we can to elect more Democrats to the state legislature.</p>\n<p>09:41:07;13</p>\n<p>Right.</p>\n<p>09:41:12;14</p>\n<p>We also have to keep our Democratic US Senate majority.</p>\n<p>09:41:16;23</p>\n<p>And the only way you do that is to keep our amazing us Senator Tammy Baldwin.</p>\n<p>09:41:26;17</p>\n<p>You know, over 30 years ago I got elected to the Dane County Board and at the time there was this recent law school graduate on the board named Tammy Baldwin.</p>\n<p>09:41:36;15</p>\n<p>I think the best compliment you can say and maybe it's a Wisconsin compliment after I heard the New York and New Jersey delegations show their bravado last night, uh, in the roll call, you know, to say someone hasn't changed in all that time despite going from the county board to the state legislature, to Congress, to the US Senate, I think is the greatest compliment that you could say about anyone.</p>\n<p>09:41:59;14</p>\n<p>And that truly is our Tammy Baldwin.</p>\n<p>09:42:05;08</p>\n<p>You know, she doesn't just win in an election year.</p>\n<p>09:42:08;16</p>\n<p>She wins in the five years prior to the election year by getting around the state and working hard and doing everything she can.</p>\n<p>09:42:16;10</p>\n<p>And in Washington, she is a workhorse, not a show horse.</p>\n<p>09:42:21;11</p>\n<p>And we have to make sure that this guy who's come from California to offer his sage advice.</p>\n<p>09:42:29;08</p>\n<p>Remember that first video of him when he cracked a hole in the ice and he jumped in the water because he thought that's what you do if you're from Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>09:42:36;17</p>\n<p>I don't know.</p>\n<p>09:42:37;06</p>\n<p>I saw that and, and I thought that's what a California banker would think you do if you're from Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>09:42:43;15</p>\n<p>I know plenty of people who fish above the ice, but I don't know many people going below the ice in winter.</p>\n<p>09:42:48;28</p>\n<p>So I think that says all you need to know about Eric hub deep, but this is a no brainer and we're gonna reelect Tammy Baldwin.</p>\n<p>09:42:55;29</p>\n<p>Right.</p>\n<p>09:42:59;19</p>\n<p>I'll tell you super close to me is obviously the US House and we have four seats to pick up to have the majority and to make Hakeem Jeffries, the next speaker of the House of Representatives, Hakeem came in my class to Congress and I was fortunate enough to be one of his seconding speeches for when he became leader.</p>\n<p>09:43:22;21</p>\n<p>And I can tell you he's the real deal.</p>\n<p>09:43:25;15</p>\n<p>Uh He's a real friend.</p>\n<p>09:43:26;24</p>\n<p>He's an amazing order and he holds our caucus together so well that we are gonna be able to get a lot done if we pick up those four seats and guess what state has a number of swing seats that we could potentially pick up uh to get that majority.</p>\n<p>09:43:44;13</p>\n<p>Right.</p>\n<p>09:43:46;06</p>\n<p>Look, we have great candidates.</p>\n<p>09:43:48;22</p>\n<p>Uh Kirsten Lely who is in the eighth district, have an ob to have an OB there.</p>\n<p>09:43:57;09</p>\n<p>She is to have an OBGYN running against the guy who's using a dinosaur to define his business.</p>\n<p>09:44:06;29</p>\n<p>Speaks volumes about the difference between the Democratic Party and the Republicans.</p>\n<p>09:44:12;21</p>\n<p>We also have a swing, one of the swing seats in Wisconsin, one and our good friend, a former member of Congress, former Democratic assembly leader, former Secretary of Revenue for Governor Evers and former uh midwest administrator for the Small Business administration.</p>\n<p>09:44:30;08</p>\n<p>Peter Barker is the candidate in the first district.</p>\n<p>09:44:37;09</p>\n<p>Look, I have known Peter since I was 14 years old.</p>\n<p>09:44:42;15</p>\n<p>I grew up in Kenosha with Peter.</p>\n<p>09:44:44;16</p>\n<p>Um My mom a a quick story because I don't see the next speaker here yet.</p>\n<p>09:44:48;05</p>\n<p>So I'm gonna, I'm gonna tell this story.</p>\n<p>09:44:49;24</p>\n<p>Uh my mom uh lived to be 93 the last few years were in Dane County, but she lived for 91 of those years in Kenosha.</p>\n<p>09:44:56;25</p>\n<p>And towards the end, she wasn't following politics quite as close when she was in Kenosha.</p>\n<p>09:45:01;06</p>\n<p>So she'd go over who was running and she'd go through the whole ballot and one year she did it and she skipped over Peter Barka and I said, mom, you forgot Peter Barka and her response was, well, of course, I'm voting for Peter Barka.</p>\n<p>09:45:14;03</p>\n<p>That is how people feel about Peter in places like Kenosha and Racine.</p>\n<p>09:45:18;26</p>\n<p>And we're gonna help Peter Barka win that seat.</p>\n<p>09:45:21;12</p>\n<p>Right?</p>\n<p>09:45:26;01</p>\n<p>Look, Brian's style isn't a bad guy who represents the district, but he takes a lot of really bad votes and he tries not to take a lot of positions on any issues.</p>\n<p>09:45:35;28</p>\n<p>He, he's probably the human equivalent of like flavorless jello, right?</p>\n<p>09:45:40;09</p>\n<p>Whatever he's next to on the plate.</p>\n<p>09:45:41;25</p>\n<p>He'll taste like a little bit.</p>\n<p>09:45:43;19</p>\n<p>I would rather have a democratic leader who's got a record of accomplishments like Peter Barker.</p>\n<p>09:45:48;21</p>\n<p>Right.</p>\n<p>09:45:52;18</p>\n<p>And in the third congressional district, we have one of America's worst members of Congress and I serve with Marjorie Taylor Green.</p>\n<p>09:46:04;12</p>\n<p>Right.</p>\n<p>09:46:07;09</p>\n<p>There's the belligerent beer filled, bloviating business, failing misogynistic book writing, insurrection, attending librarian and senate page harassing State of the Union speech yelling Trump fir an embarrassment to the state and nation.</p>\n<p>09:46:26;00</p>\n<p>Derek Van Orden and I'll quit sugar coating him.</p>\n<p>09:46:33;12</p>\n<p>Look, we have to upgrade to get that four seats we need in Congress and we have a great opportunity in Becca Cook.</p>\n<p>09:46:48;04</p>\n<p>This was our dear friend Ron kind seat uh for 26 years and we just have to make sure that this temporary tenant doesn't have more than a twoyear lease, right?</p>\n<p>09:46:59;13</p>\n<p>Are we gonna defeat Derek Van Norden this fall?</p>\n<p>09:47:05;17</p>\n<p>Look and finally, Wisconsin is gonna be the deciding state for Democrats with the White House this year and we can do it with vice President Harris and governor walls.</p>\n<p>09:47:17;06</p>\n<p>We have a ticket that's real and authentic and is upper midwestern as you can get with the right values and the right moral compass and Trump, don't you feel that when we look at this race, it's like watching an old black and one black and white rerun versus a brand new fall color, uh TV show.</p>\n<p>09:47:39;20</p>\n<p>This is whether you're gonna go back or forward.</p>\n<p>09:47:45;01</p>\n<p>I know it's not fair to Joe Biden, but he became president very late in life and the reality is that night of the debate.</p>\n<p>09:47:53;24</p>\n<p>Mo many, many Americans weren't happy with either candidate on the debate stage, but one of those candidates is still running for president and that's Donald Trump and the other candidate we now have running is the vice president, Kamala Harris and Trump has a terrible roadmap for the future.</p>\n<p>09:48:17;08</p>\n<p>He and his project 2020 25 would have devastating effects on people in Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>09:48:25;25</p>\n<p>And there's a reason why Donald Trump, by the way, is running away from project 2025.</p>\n<p>09:48:30;17</p>\n<p>Um 100 and 40 of his administration officials and Lackeys wrote project 2025.</p>\n<p>09:48:37;15</p>\n<p>The Heritage Foundation is a sponsor, a major sponsor of the RNC convention, not the DNC convention and they're the ones promoting it, but we have to make sure that we do not see this country take that negative turn that's outlined in the 920 pages of Project 2025.</p>\n<p>09:48:58;27</p>\n<p>And for those of you who live uh near the, the second CD next Wednesday night at six o'clock, uh We are having a town hall on project 2025 at the South Central Federation of Labor.</p>\n<p>09:49:11;04</p>\n<p>If you can make it, we love to make sure everyone knows in depth just how bad that plan is.</p>\n<p>09:49:16;23</p>\n<p>But I'll tell you they've polled many parts of this.</p>\n<p>09:49:19;20</p>\n<p>I serve on a special uh house Democratic task force on project 2025.</p>\n<p>09:49:24;05</p>\n<p>And this thing stinks to high heaven and we just need to make sure that people know those details and what's gonna happen.</p>\n<p>09:49:32;16</p>\n<p>So we know that the Harris Walls administration will do an amazing job if we can help, make sure they win in November.</p>\n<p>09:49:42;10</p>\n<p>And let's remember what Kamala Harris has done.</p>\n<p>09:49:45;01</p>\n<p>As part of the Biden Harris administration.</p>\n<p>09:49:47;11</p>\n<p>They got this country out of COVID.</p>\n<p>09:49:50;13</p>\n<p>They passed the infrastructure bill that four presidents have talked about, but Joe Biden and Kamala Harris got it done.</p>\n<p>09:50:02;17</p>\n<p>We're making things again in America through the Chips and Science Act, creating tens of thousands of new jobs by making things in our country.</p>\n<p>09:50:13;27</p>\n<p>And we reduced the cost of things like prescription drugs and other health care and energy costs through the Inflation Reduction Act.</p>\n<p>09:50:22;00</p>\n<p>That's the record of Kamala Harris, but there's more to do and I love the fact that they're describing their campaign as a joyous campaign.</p>\n<p>09:50:32;04</p>\n<p>I would much rather be talking about the future and joy than the gloom and doom and the cartoon of Donald Trump.</p>\n<p>09:50:40;01</p>\n<p>And the path to the White House is gonna go directly through Wisconsin and we are going to get that done right this fall.</p>\n<p>09:50:51;13</p>\n<p>We have a really great opportunity to make Wisconsin Central by electing a democratic legislature by keeping Tammy Baldwin in the US Senate by picking up seats in the US House and making sure that Wisconsin is in the blue column for the White House.</p>\n<p>09:51:08;02</p>\n<p>Once again, I look forward to traveling the state, uh, in the remaining 76 days I believe we're at, uh, to get things done and I look forward to spending a whole lot of time with you all.</p>\n<p>09:51:19;14</p>\n<p>Thanks for being here this week.</p>\n<p>09:51:21;00</p>\n<p>I don't agree with Tim Wells on one thing.</p>\n<p>09:51:23;06</p>\n<p>I don't think we're gonna sleep when we die.</p>\n<p>09:51:25;06</p>\n<p>I think we'll sleep on Friday.</p>\n<p>09:51:26;26</p>\n<p>But until then, thank you very much, Congressman Mark Hoan from Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>09:51:43;25</p>\n<p>Second.</p>\n<p>09:51:44;27</p>\n<p>Soon to have a lot more friends than the democratic congressional delegation to Washington DC.</p>\n<p>09:51:51;02</p>\n<p>We have other amazing speakers coming up this morning, but we wanna give everyone here a chance to speak to each other for a moment.</p>\n<p>09:51:59;28</p>\n<p>So we're gonna take a little break before we resume our programming.</p>\n<p>09:52:03;06</p>\n<p>Please meet someone new, greet someone you already know and love and enjoy the delicious breakfast and I'm gonna have some more coffee.</p>\n<p>09:52:11;26</p>\n<p>Thanks so much.</p>\n<p>09:52:12;20</p>\n<p>Let's do this.</p>\n<p>09:52:20;13</p>\n<p>Oh, oh, man.</p>\n<p>09:52:53;06</p>\n<p>Need a break.</p>\n<p>09:52:55;06</p>\n<p>Take the chance to get out all the time.</p>\n<p>09:53:03;17</p>\n<p>We're gone.</p>\n<p>09:53:08;09</p>\n<p>Best thing.</p>\n<p>09:54:03;25</p>\n<p>The best thing.</p>\n<p>09:54:19;15</p>\n<p>Oh man, gyw, I RT Z hyphen Olsen.</p>\n<p>09:56:13;15</p>\n<p>I'm a teacher and I'm the president of the, of the Wisconsin Education Jack.</p>\n<p>09:56:31;20</p>\n<p>Try it again.</p>\n<p>09:56:35;14</p>\n<p>Can you say your first name and last name again?</p>\n<p>09:56:37;22</p>\n<p>My name is Peggy Pe Ggyw, I RT Z hyphen Olsen.</p>\n<p>09:56:43;15</p>\n<p>I'm a teacher and I'm the president of the Wisconsin Education Association Council or we a perfect.</p>\n<p>09:56:49;13</p>\n<p>So obviously here at the Democratic National mentioned day for the theme today is a fight for our freedom.</p>\n<p>09:56:54;16</p>\n<p>So what does that exactly mean to you?</p>\n<p>09:56:56;24</p>\n<p>Fighting for our freedoms for me as a teacher?</p>\n<p>09:56:59;24</p>\n<p>Definitely really means fighting for the freedom for my students to learn.</p>\n<p>09:57:06;16</p>\n<p>And so I guess, um what are some things that you are looking forward to for the rest of the Democratic National Convention?</p>\n<p>09:57:12;27</p>\n<p>Well, I am looking forward to today know that Governor Walls as a fellow teacher speaks to me and my colleagues about the importance of education, the importance of decency.</p>\n<p>09:57:28;04</p>\n<p>And so I'm looking forward to tonight's program where we're going to be welcoming him and hearing from him.</p>\n<p>09:57:34;22</p>\n<p>And I know as a teacher, there are probably, you know, different demands, concerns that they have, what are some of those demands and concerns that people in your field are worried about heading into this election.</p>\n<p>09:57:45;26</p>\n<p>So that theme of fighting for our freedoms is so important to teachers because we're fighting for that freedom for students to learn.</p>\n<p>09:57:54;03</p>\n<p>We've been facing things like book bans and you know, other attacks on, on not just learning that freedom to learn, but our freedom for our students to be who they are.</p>\n<p>09:58:04;27</p>\n<p>And so educators like me want uh America where everyone is free to be who they are uh to learn to love.</p>\n<p>09:58:15;14</p>\n<p>And um our students can be themselves and comfortable in our society and it's great that, you know, you're from the Madison area.</p>\n<p>09:58:23;05</p>\n<p>So, what does that mean for people like from our area?</p>\n<p>09:58:25;27</p>\n<p>What do you think that means?</p>\n<p>09:58:26;24</p>\n<p>I mean, just to be here in representing Madison.</p>\n<p>09:58:28;22</p>\n<p>What does that mean?</p>\n<p>09:58:30;00</p>\n<p>Yeah.</p>\n<p>09:58:30;09</p>\n<p>Well, it's the honor of a lifetime to be a delegate.</p>\n<p>09:58:33;18</p>\n<p>This is my first time as AD NC delegate.</p>\n<p>09:58:35;28</p>\n<p>This has been an amazing, joyful, energetic convention and I can't say enough how important for a teacher like me it is to be here.</p>\n<p>09:58:47;09</p>\n<p>And could you say your first and last name one more time for me?</p>\n<p>09:58:49;11</p>\n<p>Just to make sure I have it.</p>\n<p>09:58:50;25</p>\n<p>Yeah.</p>\n<p>09:58:51;00</p>\n<p>Yeah.</p>\n<p>09:58:51;03</p>\n<p>My name is Peggy Wes Olsen and I'm a high school, art and English teacher and I'm the president of the Wisconsin Education Association Council.</p>\n<p>09:58:59;10</p>\n<p>Thanks so much.</p>\n<p>09:59:01;14</p>\n<p>You're so sweet.</p>\n<p>09:59:02;06</p>\n<p>Thank you.</p>\n<p>09:59:03;06</p>\n<p>Do you have any questions you guys or uh you know, I was kind of wondering if you're talking about 3 to 2 year students, if they ever really come to the text.</p>\n<p>09:59:10;26</p>\n<p>Now, what do you tell me?</p>\n<p>09:59:14;24</p>\n<p>Yeah.</p>\n<p>09:59:15;01</p>\n<p>So when I talk with my students about freedom, right?</p>\n<p>09:59:18;04</p>\n<p>I, I talk with them about the freedom of ideas that in an, in a democracy, in an America that I want to live in and I want my own Children and my students to live in.</p>\n<p>09:59:31;12</p>\n<p>We have those opportunities um to be who we are, to love, who we love and to be ourselves and our authentic selves.</p>\n<p>09:59:42;26</p>\n<p>Thank you.</p>\n<p>09:59:45;10</p>\n<p>Welcome to Madison.</p>\n<p>09:59:46;12</p>\n<p>I I love it here.</p>\n<p>09:59:47;18</p>\n<p>I'm, well, I'm there.</p>\n<p>09:59:48;21</p>\n<p>Not here.</p>\n<p>09:59:50;04</p>\n<p>I'm so glad.</p>\n<p>09:59:51;16</p>\n<p>Um, I, I was watching you say, you know, the, the working through the winter kind of thing.</p>\n<p>09:59:58;18</p>\n<p>Um, I'm a little, I'm a little concerned.</p>\n<p>10:00:00;10</p>\n<p>No, it's gonna be good.</p>\n<p>10:00:01;21</p>\n<p>You're gonna, you're gonna do great.</p>\n<p>10:00:04;02</p>\n<p>Yeah.</p>\n<p>10:00:05;07</p>\n<p>What?</p>\n<p>10:00:06;26</p>\n<p>Yeah, I guess.</p>\n<p>10:00:08;07</p>\n<p>Yes.</p>\n<p>10:00:09;01</p>\n<p>Um, I hired so some.</p>\n<p>10:00:43;00</p>\n<p>So thank you.</p>\n<p>10:00:59;18</p>\n<p>Turn in, yes.</p>\n<p>10:01:08;16</p>\n<p>Used for, ok.</p>\n<p>10:01:15;22</p>\n<p>Wisconsin Democrats.</p>\n<p>10:01:19;10</p>\n<p>I can tell from the hum and the murmur in this room that people are making friends.</p>\n<p>10:01:23;16</p>\n<p>How many people here have made a new friend in the course of this convention so far on the count of three, shout out the name of someone that you've met that you want to stay in touch with 123.</p>\n<p>10:01:38;13</p>\n<p>Oh, we can do better than that.</p>\n<p>10:01:40;15</p>\n<p>Alright.</p>\n<p>10:01:41;03</p>\n<p>Well, if you've made a new friend, I want to hear you say, yes, that is what I'm talking about.</p>\n<p>10:01:48;26</p>\n<p>All right, we have a next speaker who is a champion for all of us and I consider a personal friend.</p>\n<p>10:01:58;23</p>\n<p>He's also someone who brought me enormous embarrassment because in 2020 on a Zoom with the Wisconsin Democratic Party staff, unannounced, unannounced to me, he shared with my team that I had committed to shaving my head if we defeated Donald Trump in November.</p>\n<p>10:02:21;04</p>\n<p>And this created an enormous sense of motivation on top of the already great motivation within our team.</p>\n<p>10:02:27;10</p>\n<p>And as you might remember, we did defeat Donald Trump that fall.</p>\n<p>10:02:31;20</p>\n<p>And on another zoom call my kids shaved my head with my entire team watching and Senator Cory Booker laughing his head off.</p>\n<p>10:02:39;24</p>\n<p>He brings joy.</p>\n<p>10:02:41;01</p>\n<p>He brings surprise.</p>\n<p>10:02:42;13</p>\n<p>He brings deep, deep convictions.</p>\n<p>10:02:44;19</p>\n<p>He brings a voice of moral clarity.</p>\n<p>10:02:47;07</p>\n<p>Let's give a giant round of applause to honorary badger and friend of Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>10:02:52;06</p>\n<p>Senator Cory Booker.</p>\n<p>10:02:59;09</p>\n<p>Ok.</p>\n<p>10:03:00;24</p>\n<p>It was fun.</p>\n<p>10:03:03;29</p>\n<p>Wis so you all gotta help me.</p>\n<p>10:03:10;03</p>\n<p>I, I made a mistake yesterday.</p>\n<p>10:03:11;25</p>\n<p>I, uh, the last two days I've been doing state party speeches, just, just giving up the mic running into the middle crowd yelling my remarks and now I've lost my voice and I have to speak on the stage tonight.</p>\n<p>10:03:24;27</p>\n<p>But I have a feeling that the energy that we're seeing in that arena will lift my heart, lift my spirits and lift my voice.</p>\n<p>10:03:36;17</p>\n<p>So look, I, I want you all to know and I know this is about to get me in trouble.</p>\n<p>10:03:42;03</p>\n<p>But I think the best party leader in all of America is your party leader, Ben.</p>\n<p>10:03:52;02</p>\n<p>And he, and he's standing next to my almost girlfriend, Thelma, my home girl, she's married to a great man.</p>\n<p>10:03:59;23</p>\n<p>So I can't get myself in trouble, but she's had me over at her house.</p>\n<p>10:04:03;09</p>\n<p>She's fed me.</p>\n<p>10:04:04;03</p>\n<p>So I'm in love with her.</p>\n<p>10:04:07;01</p>\n<p>So all I'm gonna do instead of, uh, a booming speech, I'm just wanna, I wanna make a confession.</p>\n<p>10:04:12;07</p>\n<p>I figure I feel with like such family here when I'm campaigning for Baldwin, who is one of the greatest senators.</p>\n<p>10:04:19;20</p>\n<p>Iii I feel like I'm at home when I come to your communities and it's such an honor to serve with her.</p>\n<p>10:04:28;00</p>\n<p>And, and, and so I thought you all would be accepting enough for me to tell you a confession.</p>\n<p>10:04:34;18</p>\n<p>And so here's a confession.</p>\n<p>10:04:36;25</p>\n<p>There was a day on the senate floor where all senators was there.</p>\n<p>10:04:42;23</p>\n<p>Usually we're not all in one place, but this is one of those rare moments like a presidential impeachment.</p>\n<p>10:04:48;07</p>\n<p>We had a couple of those during Donald Trump's time.</p>\n<p>10:04:51;19</p>\n<p>But this time we're there for a moment that has so many of us joyous because we're about to make American history and put Kanji Brown Jackson on the Supreme Court and, and, and I'm, we're all waiting 99 senators there.</p>\n<p>10:05:08;00</p>\n<p>We're waiting for the last senator to vote Republicans keeping us there for a long time.</p>\n<p>10:05:12;20</p>\n<p>And now I start pacing and, and I'm, I'm, I'm emotional and I'm trying my best not to cry because my staff will only let me have one public cry a month and, and, and I had already exceeded my quota and, and Michelle almost made me cry again last night, but I was like, I gotta save it.</p>\n<p>10:05:33;15</p>\n<p>And then Raphael Warnock walks up to me and says, brother book.</p>\n<p>10:05:37;27</p>\n<p>It looks like you're struggling a little bit.</p>\n<p>10:05:41;24</p>\n<p>He's like you need some prayer.</p>\n<p>10:05:43;16</p>\n<p>Brother Booker and I'm like, Lord knows I do.</p>\n<p>10:05:47;14</p>\n<p>But at that moment, this urgent looking staffer runs over to tell us that the presiding officer was asking us to approach the front of the room.</p>\n<p>10:06:01;14</p>\n<p>Now, Rafael Warnock and I both growing up in powerful matriarchal families.</p>\n<p>10:06:06;10</p>\n<p>When a woman calls us, we reflexively like go towards.</p>\n<p>10:06:10;00</p>\n<p>But this wasn't just like uh uh another staff or another senator.</p>\n<p>10:06:14;01</p>\n<p>This was the presiding officer on that day who happened to be there to break a tie.</p>\n<p>10:06:20;20</p>\n<p>The vice president of the United States of America was Kamala Harris.</p>\n<p>10:06:25;13</p>\n<p>And so now picture this, I don't know how it is in your State Senate, but in the United States Senate, the, the presiding officer has to be the highest person in the room.</p>\n<p>10:06:33;15</p>\n<p>So when you walk up to talk to them sitting there, you can't stand, you have to like lean over.</p>\n<p>10:06:38;16</p>\n<p>And if those of you c span Watchers, all six of you might see, might see people sort of crouching when they're talking.</p>\n<p>10:06:45;07</p>\n<p>But this time, it was like both Raphael Warnock went over us and we bowed down at the altar of Kamala Harris.</p>\n<p>10:06:53;05</p>\n<p>And so now she's sitting on high and looking down at us kneeling before her and she says, fellas, this is a historic moment.</p>\n<p>10:07:00;22</p>\n<p>Now, I know she was talking about Katani Brown Jackson, but I'm one of those political nerds and I knew this was a historic moment because it's the first time in American history.</p>\n<p>10:07:09;09</p>\n<p>Three black people ever got together at the Senate floor.</p>\n<p>10:07:16;25</p>\n<p>Right.</p>\n<p>10:07:17;05</p>\n<p>There is three of the seven of us who had ever been elected to the United States Senate.</p>\n<p>10:07:21;25</p>\n<p>And so I'm, I'm, I'm standing there waiting for what Kamala Harris wants to talk about.</p>\n<p>10:07:25;19</p>\n<p>And she's like, listen, fellas, this is a really historic moment.</p>\n<p>10:07:29;10</p>\n<p>You all should do something to mark this moment.</p>\n<p>10:07:32;14</p>\n<p>And she says, why don't you all write a letter to a little girl about what it meant to be here at this moment.</p>\n<p>10:07:42;01</p>\n<p>And then she didn't seem to trust that we would do it.</p>\n<p>10:07:44;17</p>\n<p>So she goes over to her binder, opens up this beautiful leather, bind her and right there, the only thing other than her schedule that I saw were two pieces of her stationery, the big Vice Presidential seal on it and, and, and her name and she hands us both these two pieces of stationery and says, write your letter to that little girl on my stationery.</p>\n<p>10:08:12;12</p>\n<p>And at that point, Raphael Warnock grabs me and says, hold on, Booker, hold on, don't cry.</p>\n<p>10:08:20;08</p>\n<p>So now I want you all to know something about Raphael Warnock.</p>\n<p>10:08:23;06</p>\n<p>He is disciplined, he is dutiful, he is determined.</p>\n<p>10:08:28;12</p>\n<p>And so he went right back to his desk and penned a letter to his five year old daughter to tell her about this.</p>\n<p>10:08:37;19</p>\n<p>Now, I am one of those people that JD Vance talked down about.</p>\n<p>10:08:42;29</p>\n<p>I'm one of those childless cat people.</p>\n<p>10:08:50;28</p>\n<p>I think we're perfect.</p>\n<p>10:08:55;27</p>\n<p>I think we're fantastic.</p>\n<p>10:08:59;25</p>\n<p>Oh, my gosh.</p>\n<p>10:09:00;27</p>\n<p>What do you tell, tell a guy like me who has no kids that tells dad jokes a faux pas.</p>\n<p>10:09:07;18</p>\n<p>Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, I'm here all week.</p>\n<p>10:09:10;29</p>\n<p>I'm here all week.</p>\n<p>10:09:14;06</p>\n<p>So unlike Warnock, I didn't go back to my desk and, and write the letter.</p>\n<p>10:09:19;27</p>\n<p>Kanji Brown Jackson gets put on the highest office of the land.</p>\n<p>10:09:22;05</p>\n<p>I'm holding on to this precious stationary.</p>\n<p>10:09:24;12</p>\n<p>And I didn't write my letter in the next week, another week passed and I still didn't write my letter.</p>\n<p>10:09:29;09</p>\n<p>I told you all this was going to be a confessional.</p>\n<p>10:09:32;09</p>\n<p>And then one of those early mornings, I know you've all had this feeling where you wake up before your alarm goes off and you're lying there in bed and you just have some really deep thoughts.</p>\n<p>10:09:45;05</p>\n<p>And really this is not just my confession, but what I want to leave you all with you, see, I'm lying there in bed.</p>\n<p>10:09:51;17</p>\n<p>I realize that what Kamala Harris sent me to do was not a literal task, but a spiritual one.</p>\n<p>10:10:05;07</p>\n<p>Let me tell you what I mean.</p>\n<p>10:10:06;29</p>\n<p>I grew up in a, in a little church in, close to New Jersey where the pastor used to preach faith without works is dead.</p>\n<p>10:10:14;25</p>\n<p>You know, he would always say you can't preach right and walk left that it's not about what you say in life that defines you.</p>\n<p>10:10:23;11</p>\n<p>It's what you do.</p>\n<p>10:10:25;18</p>\n<p>I love what Frederick Douglass says.</p>\n<p>10:10:27;10</p>\n<p>He said, he said, I prayed for years for my freedom and I was still a slave.</p>\n<p>10:10:31;28</p>\n<p>It wasn't until I prayed with my hands and prayed with my feet that I found my salvation.</p>\n<p>10:10:38;28</p>\n<p>What Kamala Harris was asking me to do.</p>\n<p>10:10:42;00</p>\n<p>Yes, a beautiful literal thing.</p>\n<p>10:10:44;02</p>\n<p>But spiritually, she was saying, Cory Booker, write your letter every day by what we do by how we show up by the energy and the work and the effort we do.</p>\n<p>10:10:56;14</p>\n<p>We are writing a letter and let me tell you something.</p>\n<p>10:10:58;27</p>\n<p>Every single one of us in this room, we are the descendants of the letters, the love letters that our ancestors wrote and they didn't write with ink.</p>\n<p>10:11:09;01</p>\n<p>They wrote in tears, they wrote in sweat, they wrote in blood, they wrote us a letter of suffrage, they wrote us a letter of civil rights.</p>\n<p>10:11:20;15</p>\n<p>They wrote us letters about Roe V Wade.</p>\n<p>10:11:24;05</p>\n<p>They wrote us letters.</p>\n<p>10:11:27;03</p>\n<p>And so now Wisconsin, it's your turn right through the next 80 days.</p>\n<p>10:11:34;02</p>\n<p>Write your letter with love with work with struggle with sacrifice.</p>\n<p>10:11:40;06</p>\n<p>Oh Make Yeah, of life.</p>\n<p>10:11:44;20</p>\n<p>Make your democracy.</p>\n<p>10:11:48;28</p>\n<p>Make your letter a story of how you worked to get.</p>\n<p>10:11:54;01</p>\n<p>Yes.</p>\n<p>10:11:55;15</p>\n<p>Highest office was caught.</p>\n<p>10:11:59;25</p>\n<p>Write your letter, Cory Booker Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>10:12:21;05</p>\n<p>Let's give another giant round of applause but fired up.</p>\n<p>10:12:34;26</p>\n<p>Oh my gosh.</p>\n<p>10:12:39;02</p>\n<p>Your napkin can be used to adjust any moisture that may be appearing on your face just welcoming everyone to take full advantage of that opportunity.</p>\n<p>10:12:53;23</p>\n<p>All right, I'm gonna bring it down a little bit with some announcements which I'm very excited about.</p>\n<p>10:12:59;09</p>\n<p>The first announcement is if you didn't get one yet and you're a Wisconsin delegate, we have old fashioned T shirts here for you to pick up.</p>\n<p>10:13:10;28</p>\n<p>If you got your T shirt.</p>\n<p>10:13:11;25</p>\n<p>Can you hold it up so people can see your beautiful Wisconsin delegate, old fashioned shirt.</p>\n<p>10:13:17;13</p>\n<p>Look at those, look at those beautiful, beautiful shirts.</p>\n<p>10:13:22;14</p>\n<p>The second day is the giveaway closing moment is 9:30 a.m. It's 913.</p>\n<p>10:13:30;13</p>\n<p>Now.</p>\n<p>10:13:31;09</p>\n<p>So if you have a guest who you would love to be able to get into the arena tonight with a guest pass or if you hope to be entered in the giveaway drawing for some nice prizes, get your tickets in in the next 17 minutes and those are again at the check in table.</p>\n<p>10:13:50;15</p>\n<p>I just wanna make sure people know about that.</p>\n<p>10:13:59;05</p>\n<p>The third announcement is that Wisconsin's elected DNC member, Alex Lasry is throwing a party tonight to appreciate the Wisconsin delegation.</p>\n<p>10:14:11;23</p>\n<p>So after the speeches, you are all fired up, you're full of energy.</p>\n<p>10:14:15;26</p>\n<p>You want to go to a party.</p>\n<p>10:14:17;15</p>\n<p>I recommend that you go to Alex Lad's party tonight from 10 p.m. till 1 a.m. at Barrio, which is at 65 at Kinsey in Chicago.</p>\n<p>10:14:28;13</p>\n<p>Everyone got a message about this, but I just want to make sure everyone here knows that they are invited and it's going to be a blast.</p>\n<p>10:14:36;12</p>\n<p>And my last note is that as we prepare for our next speaker and I know that folks are, are quickly moving through, some folks are, are meeting the amazing Senator Booker.</p>\n<p>10:14:49;08</p>\n<p>I wanna ask everyone then to go to their seat and stay in their seat.</p>\n<p>10:14:54;02</p>\n<p>Oh, not quite yet.</p>\n<p>10:14:56;14</p>\n<p>You don't need to do that yet.</p>\n<p>10:14:57;19</p>\n<p>All right, when we see our next speaker, we're going to invite everyone to be in their seats and on their feet.</p>\n<p>10:15:05;05</p>\n<p>Uh, but we're gonna take a second to enjoy this pause.</p>\n<p>10:15:08;01</p>\n<p>We're going to continue to consume our caffeinated beverages and we'll be back with more programming in just a minute.</p>\n<p>10:15:13;02</p>\n<p>Thank you so much, everyone.</p>\n<p>10:15:29;16</p>\n<p>So.</p>\n<p>10:15:31;15</p>\n<p>Yes, something.</p>\n<p>10:15:45;07</p>\n<p>Ok.</p>\n<p>10:15:48;16</p>\n<p>Yes.</p>\n<p>10:16:25;10</p>\n<p>Ok.</p>\n<p>10:16:46;10</p>\n<p>Yes.</p>\n<p>10:16:58;02</p>\n<p>Yes.</p>\n<p>10:17:44;00</p>\n<p>Cheese.</p>\n<p>10:17:52;06</p>\n<p>Yeah.</p>\n<p>10:18:08;29</p>\n<p>Yeah.</p>\n<p>10:18:10;02</p>\n<p>Ok.</p>\n<p>10:18:20;26</p>\n<p>Two that.</p>\n<p>10:18:48;07</p>\n<p>Ok.</p>\n<p>10:19:11;07</p>\n<p>Two think it's, he's like doing more here at the right time because now it's getting cold.</p>\n<p>10:19:51;12</p>\n<p>Yeah, I know, but I'm from the Midwest, so I think I'll be able to handle it maybe.</p>\n<p>10:19:57;09</p>\n<p>Ok, for the record of you said your first name, your last name and your title.</p>\n<p>10:20:00;17</p>\n<p>David Crowley Crowley Milwaukee County executive.</p>\n<p>10:20:05;06</p>\n<p>So I obviously there's a lot to do Wisconsin Battleground State.</p>\n<p>10:20:09;07</p>\n<p>What do you think Wisconsin kites need to do to make this happen in the next, less than 80 days?</p>\n<p>10:20:14;12</p>\n<p>Well, I'm, I'm just gonna quote Michelle Obama from last night.</p>\n<p>10:20:17;00</p>\n<p>We all have to do something.</p>\n<p>10:20:18;06</p>\n<p>Not every role for everybody to be playing.</p>\n<p>10:20:20;17</p>\n<p>But I do think that everybody has a role when it comes down to saving our democracy and making sure that we get as many people out to the ballot box.</p>\n<p>10:20:27;07</p>\n<p>And so whether you're making phone calls knocking on doors, helping to fundraise or just using, utilizing your talents to help encourage and bring awareness to what is going on this upcoming November.</p>\n<p>10:20:39;11</p>\n<p>That's how you can get involved.</p>\n<p>10:20:40;19</p>\n<p>We all have something to do and we all have to do something and we're coming from Blue Cities, Madison, Milwaukee.</p>\n<p>10:20:47;01</p>\n<p>So what efforts are you trying to make leading up to the election?</p>\n<p>10:20:49;27</p>\n<p>Listen, we're gonna be talking to everybody again, we're gonna be continuously knocking on doors.</p>\n<p>10:20:53;22</p>\n<p>We're gonna be hosting different campuses all across Milwaukee County.</p>\n<p>10:20:57;14</p>\n<p>But again, it's about how do we step outside our geographical comfort zone at the exact same time.</p>\n<p>10:21:02;06</p>\n<p>And so as Milwaukee County executive, yes, I am responsible for Milwaukee, but that doesn't mean that I can't go rally the troops in Racine in Kenosha, in Beloit, in Sheboygan, in Green Bay, in Madison or wherever they need me to be at.</p>\n<p>10:21:16;20</p>\n<p>But I just think that again, when it comes down to what I'm going to be doing, every single thing I need to do to make sure that we make history in electing the first woman president of the United States.</p>\n<p>10:21:29;25</p>\n<p>Ok.</p>\n<p>10:21:30;04</p>\n<p>And then Oh, ok.</p>\n<p>10:21:32;18</p>\n<p>Ok.</p>\n<p>10:21:33;02</p>\n<p>I, OK.</p>\n<p>10:21:34;27</p>\n<p>Wait, just one more thing and then like, ok, what does the, what does today's theme mean for you as I fight for our freedom?</p>\n<p>10:21:40;04</p>\n<p>What does that mean?</p>\n<p>10:21:40;18</p>\n<p>I mean, that's what we're doing every single day.</p>\n<p>10:21:42;12</p>\n<p>We are fighting for democracy and protecting our democracy means that we are protecting our freedom.</p>\n<p>10:21:46;17</p>\n<p>And as a person of color, understanding the role in the, in the generations of trauma that we all come from, we know that there's so much roadway ahead of us and there's so much prosperity ahead of us.</p>\n<p>10:21:57;13</p>\n<p>And so as a person of color, when I hear the fight for freedom, it lets me know that I'm not just fighting for my freedoms.</p>\n<p>10:22:03;02</p>\n<p>I'm fighting for the freedoms of other people of color or those who are coming behind me.</p>\n<p>10:22:06;16</p>\n<p>But more importantly, I'm fighting for the freedom of my daughters.</p>\n<p>10:22:09;12</p>\n<p>I want them to have the same level of opportunities if not more than I have been afforded.</p>\n<p>10:22:14;06</p>\n<p>And I think that that's what America is about and that's what we are fighting for.</p>\n<p>10:22:17;01</p>\n<p>That is the freedom that we are all looking forward to.</p>\n<p>10:22:21;19</p>\n<p>Thank you uh 6 1670 her on stage.</p>\n<p>10:22:34;11</p>\n<p>So the good thing about this is that I am due a small payment from my senate colleagues because they are violating that stipulation.</p>\n<p>10:22:41;24</p>\n<p>But give it up for one of the best speakers.</p>\n<p>10:22:44;08</p>\n<p>The best rabble Rousers Cory Booker.</p>\n<p>10:22:46;21</p>\n<p>Awesome.</p>\n<p>10:22:48;21</p>\n<p>Um Hey, listen, I just want to say this to you.</p>\n<p>10:22:51;07</p>\n<p>There are so many contrasts in this campaign.</p>\n<p>10:22:54;19</p>\n<p>And I'm gonna talk to you about one of them a contrast on how seriously we take our kids' safety.</p>\n<p>10:22:59;16</p>\n<p>But actually, the, the contrast that I think America is seeing every minute of this, of this convention, the contrast that they, they saw loud and clear last night is a contrast of just dourness and joy.</p>\n<p>10:23:14;13</p>\n<p>Right?</p>\n<p>10:23:15;08</p>\n<p>There is just enormous joy in this city in that convention hall and there are big problems in this world.</p>\n<p>10:23:23;18</p>\n<p>There are all sorts of people who are upset and feeling powerless and lonely.</p>\n<p>10:23:29;17</p>\n<p>But we should still feel a sense of joy every single day, right?</p>\n<p>10:23:35;11</p>\n<p>We should understand how unique it is, how special it is that we are living in a nation that is doing something that no other civilization has ever done for as long as we have done it, right?</p>\n<p>10:23:50;08</p>\n<p>It's not just democracy, right?</p>\n<p>10:23:52;25</p>\n<p>There's never been a democracy that is spread the vote and the voice as widely as we haven't done it for as long as we have done it.</p>\n<p>10:24:00;12</p>\n<p>But it's multicultural democracy, right?</p>\n<p>10:24:02;16</p>\n<p>It's this idea that everyone belongs, that everyone can find a home here and that when you find a home here, we, you know, still hold on to a little bit of where we came from.</p>\n<p>10:24:12;27</p>\n<p>But then we join hands and we make decisions together 250 years in this is still an experiment.</p>\n<p>10:24:21;14</p>\n<p>This thing is still fragile.</p>\n<p>10:24:23;20</p>\n<p>This thing still needs to be nurtured, but we should absolutely wake up with joy, with unreserved joy every single day that we live in the United States of America and we have to fight for it every single day.</p>\n<p>10:24:37;01</p>\n<p>That's what this convention is about, right?</p>\n<p>10:24:38;27</p>\n<p>It's about loving the fact that we live in America, accepting the fact that we have to fight for her.</p>\n<p>10:24:44;05</p>\n<p>And Kamala Harris is gonna do that when she gets on stage tomorrow night.</p>\n<p>10:24:47;18</p>\n<p>And I'm so excited for her.</p>\n<p>10:24:53;15</p>\n<p>Let me tell you about 11 thing that I care deeply about.</p>\n<p>10:24:56;26</p>\n<p>So I feel really embarrassed that I spent the first half of my political life not working on the issue of gun violence.</p>\n<p>10:25:04;15</p>\n<p>And then something truly awful happened in my state in 2012, just as I was getting elected to the United States Senate, I've been trying to make up for lost time since then, but we ran up against roadblock after roadblock in the 1st 10 years after Sandy Hook, those parents, the parents of those who have been killed in Milwaukee and Racine and Madison, they came to Washington and they hit those same roadblocks.</p>\n<p>10:25:29;27</p>\n<p>But we had faith that in a democracy eventually, 90% of the people, if they want something, we'll eventually get it.</p>\n<p>10:25:38;17</p>\n<p>And so we built power year after year, right?</p>\n<p>10:25:42;18</p>\n<p>We had faith that one day our movement, the anti gun violence movement would be more powerful than the gun lobby.</p>\n<p>10:25:49;21</p>\n<p>Most people told us it couldn't be done.</p>\n<p>10:25:51;27</p>\n<p>It would never happen that the NR A was the most powerful interest in Washington in the United States of America.</p>\n<p>10:25:58;05</p>\n<p>But we had faith that our cause was so righteous that eventually one day it would prevail Joe Biden.</p>\n<p>10:26:05;10</p>\n<p>And Kamala Harris had faith that our cause was righteous after Parkland happened.</p>\n<p>10:26:10;12</p>\n<p>The first one of my colleagues who called me to say, what are we going to do was Kamala Harris days after.</p>\n<p>10:26:21;03</p>\n<p>And by the way, and by the way, Kamala, the true measure of a leader is not what they do in front of the cameras.</p>\n<p>10:26:26;01</p>\n<p>It's what they do behind the cameras.</p>\n<p>10:26:27;16</p>\n<p>After, after right after Parkland, Kamala Harris methodically helped me organize the anti gun violence groups who up until then hadn't always been working together around a mission to be organized and co ordinated in the 2018 elections.</p>\n<p>10:26:44;11</p>\n<p>She raised more money for anti gun violence candidates running that year than any other of my colleagues.</p>\n<p>10:26:50;19</p>\n<p>She never raised her hand and for credit for it, she never did a press conference to talk about all the work she was doing behind the scenes.</p>\n<p>10:26:56;24</p>\n<p>Kamala Harris just believed that we had an obligation to save people's lives.</p>\n<p>10:27:00;22</p>\n<p>She didn't care if she people knew she was doing it or not.</p>\n<p>10:27:04;02</p>\n<p>She believed in her heart that we should not accept that 100 people die every day of gun violence in this country and she went to work to solve it.</p>\n<p>10:27:15;04</p>\n<p>And then 2022 came around and we saw an opportunity after that awful shooting in Eovaldi.</p>\n<p>10:27:19;27</p>\n<p>After that awful shooting in Buffalo, we saw an opportunity, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris saw an opportunity.</p>\n<p>10:27:25;03</p>\n<p>A lot of their advisers told them you're never going to get this done.</p>\n<p>10:27:27;29</p>\n<p>Don't put any political capital into trying to pass a bill at the nr A opposed for 30 days, we negotiated the bipartisan Safer Communities Act.</p>\n<p>10:27:37;11</p>\n<p>Tammy Baldwin was a huge part of those negotiations.</p>\n<p>10:27:40;14</p>\n<p>And 30 days later, we passed, we passed the first major anti gun violence bill in 30 years.</p>\n<p>10:27:52;12</p>\n<p>We beat the gun lobby for the first time in 30 years.</p>\n<p>10:27:55;24</p>\n<p>And now two years since we passed that bill, gun violence rates in our city, all across this country have dropped by 20% right?</p>\n<p>10:28:06;25</p>\n<p>We have delivered.</p>\n<p>10:28:10;03</p>\n<p>That means that there are young men and women who are alive today that wouldn't have been alive if we hadn't passed that bill.</p>\n<p>10:28:16;20</p>\n<p>That means that there are parents and brothers and sisters who are not grieving because we were able to break through and beat the gun lobby.</p>\n<p>10:28:23;08</p>\n<p>And it is just a reminder of what happens if you have thoughtful effective compassionate leaders in the White House who care about us.</p>\n<p>10:28:32;05</p>\n<p>And so I enjoy us about living in this democracy because I've seen it work because I have seen us change political realities on the stickiest, toughest issue that exists.</p>\n<p>10:28:42;00</p>\n<p>The issue of guns.</p>\n<p>10:28:42;28</p>\n<p>I have seen our ability to change lives and I am just so so excited to see how many new people, how many young people are coming into this movement.</p>\n<p>10:28:53;08</p>\n<p>I'm so excited to be here with you because state parties all across the country are learning from the model that you are creating.</p>\n<p>10:28:59;22</p>\n<p>And I'm gonna be so excited to be in that hall tomorrow night to nominate Kamala Harris and Tim Wallace to be the next president and vice president of the United States.</p>\n<p>10:29:06;05</p>\n<p>Thank you, Wisconsin Dens.</p>\n<p>10:29:07;06</p>\n<p>Thanks for having me.</p>\n<p>10:29:24;09</p>\n<p>Let's give another round of applause to Senator Chris Murphy for your words and for your work, what an extraordinary week, what an extraordinary privilege it is for all of us to be here in this week in this moment.</p>\n<p>10:29:47;14</p>\n<p>And let me pull back the camera and say what a privilege and an honor it is for all of us to be Democrats to be Americans in this era in American politics, some of the lowest lows, but some of the highest highs, some of the most historic pieces of legislation and some of the most extraordinary leaders over the last couple of decades, we have seen people come onto the national stage that not only have made history but have defied what people thought was possible and I want zero in on one person who has shattered people's expectations for what they could imagine, effective leadership could be like because Democrats are not always easy cats to herd.</p>\n<p>10:30:34;19</p>\n<p>Democrats don't always agree on everything, but there's one Democrat leading the People's House in two different terms.</p>\n<p>10:30:45;13</p>\n<p>As the speaker who did not lose a vote, who organized Democrats around historic momentous pieces of legislation that passed into law and changed people's lives.</p>\n<p>10:30:59;21</p>\n<p>A speaker of the United States House, a speaker Emerita of the United States House, who has been a central figure in the history of America in this story of us becoming a more free and fair and just nation.</p>\n<p>10:31:15;03</p>\n<p>I'm so thrilled to welcome our next speaker, a dear friend and mentor the leader twice and now the leader Emeritus of the Democratic and of the entire United States House.</p>\n<p>10:31:28;23</p>\n<p>Let's give a giant Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>10:31:30;08</p>\n<p>Welcome to Nancy Pelosi.</p>\n<p>10:31:37;20</p>\n<p>Thank you.</p>\n<p>10:31:39;25</p>\n<p>Good morning, everyone.</p>\n<p>10:31:44;05</p>\n<p>I think I don't have to tell you how blessed you are with political talent.</p>\n<p>10:31:49;08</p>\n<p>I saw the governor as soon as I came in governor.</p>\n<p>10:31:52;00</p>\n<p>Thank you.</p>\n<p>10:31:52;18</p>\n<p>Thank you for your leadership.</p>\n<p>10:31:54;20</p>\n<p>He's talking to my son-in-law who's Dutch and his wife is Dutch.</p>\n<p>10:31:57;26</p>\n<p>So they're having their personal conversation there.</p>\n<p>10:32:00;21</p>\n<p>That's here for the governor.</p>\n<p>10:32:04;23</p>\n<p>Good.</p>\n<p>10:32:06;17</p>\n<p>He still isn't watching us.</p>\n<p>10:32:12;00</p>\n<p>Mark Pohan, who's chair of the co-chair of the uh where's Mark?</p>\n<p>10:32:16;08</p>\n<p>I thought I knew Mark was here earlier.</p>\n<p>10:32:18;16</p>\n<p>But anyway, co-chair of the progressive caucus in the House of Representatives, a wonderful Wi Wisconsin delegation.</p>\n<p>10:32:25;28</p>\n<p>Of course, Glenn Moore from Milwaukee.</p>\n<p>10:32:28;13</p>\n<p>She's so remarked.</p>\n<p>10:32:29;20</p>\n<p>The list goes, the list goes on, but we want the list to grow.</p>\n<p>10:32:33;02</p>\n<p>We want that list to grow.</p>\n<p>10:32:35;23</p>\n<p>You know, that Big Ben is recognized nationally as a pre eminent state party chair.</p>\n<p>10:32:50;28</p>\n<p>Every time I compliment him on being a great party chair.</p>\n<p>10:32:56;01</p>\n<p>He compliments all of you for what you do to make that possible.</p>\n<p>10:33:02;19</p>\n<p>So let's hear it for you.</p>\n<p>10:33:07;12</p>\n<p>He galvanized support all over the country in support of what you were doing to, to win the supreme court seat.</p>\n<p>10:33:16;01</p>\n<p>Wasn't that something quite remarkable?</p>\n<p>10:33:22;07</p>\n<p>His reputation is a great one.</p>\n<p>10:33:24;07</p>\n<p>That's why we call him Big Ben.</p>\n<p>10:33:28;13</p>\n<p>When he was working at the grassroots level nationally, he said I'm going home to Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>10:33:35;27</p>\n<p>It's the best place, it's my home, but it's also the best place to raise a family.</p>\n<p>10:33:43;04</p>\n<p>What better thing could he say about his state?</p>\n<p>10:33:46;27</p>\n<p>And then he came and became the state chair and now everything's riding on Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>10:33:55;13</p>\n<p>Yeah.</p>\n<p>10:33:58;28</p>\n<p>So we have to hold the Senate with Tammy Baldwin and this is too magnificent and wonderful.</p>\n<p>10:34:08;16</p>\n<p>We have to win the house and we want to grow our numbers here in Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>10:34:13;23</p>\n<p>We have to elect Kamala Harris and Tim walls, president and vice president of the United States.</p>\n<p>10:34:25;18</p>\n<p>I know you heard from some of the senators, Senator Booker Chris Murphy.</p>\n<p>10:34:29;23</p>\n<p>They make us so very, very proud in terms of the issues that we are focusing on the rest but we must, we must hold the Senate.</p>\n<p>10:34:39;17</p>\n<p>But let me just tell you why it's so urgent also to win the house.</p>\n<p>10:34:44;06</p>\n<p>You know why?</p>\n<p>10:34:44;23</p>\n<p>For every issue, every kitchen table issue and the rest.</p>\n<p>10:34:47;26</p>\n<p>But in terms of our democracy on January 6th, we must have Hakeem Jeffries with the gavel as Speaker of the House.</p>\n<p>10:34:58;29</p>\n<p>Oh, nice.</p>\n<p>10:35:01;12</p>\n<p>Because just think of this is very self-serving what I'm going to say right now.</p>\n<p>10:35:06;18</p>\n<p>Self-serving sign is up.</p>\n<p>10:35:09;20</p>\n<p>I warned you.</p>\n<p>10:35:11;17</p>\n<p>But just think of what have happened if we did not have, if I did not have the gavel on January 3rd, not me, a democratic speaker did not have the gavel on January 5th.</p>\n<p>10:35:26;14</p>\n<p>So, so everything, everything, everything is uh is, is at stake in this election.</p>\n<p>10:35:33;10</p>\n<p>What do we have to do?</p>\n<p>10:35:34;17</p>\n<p>Nobody knows it better than Ben.</p>\n<p>10:35:36;22</p>\n<p>And, and again, he's a model to the country, but we have to make sure we win.</p>\n<p>10:35:42;00</p>\n<p>People say to me what you know, Kamala, what advice would you give her?</p>\n<p>10:35:46;10</p>\n<p>No, be yourself, show your values, show your vision for America, show what's in your heart, the empathy for the American people, show your knowledge of the issue, your judgment of perspectives, your strategic knowledge of how to get things done.</p>\n<p>10:36:02;01</p>\n<p>She has all of that.</p>\n<p>10:36:04;04</p>\n<p>I know her well, for a long time personally, Pamela Harris is a person of deep faith.</p>\n<p>10:36:11;10</p>\n<p>That's what encourages her to care for people in the community and in our civic life officially.</p>\n<p>10:36:21;11</p>\n<p>She's a person of great strength, knowing her, knowing again, the priorities, the issues, the, uh, the path that we have to go on and politically, she's very, very astute.</p>\n<p>10:36:34;13</p>\n<p>She has, she has won hard races for district attorney Attorney General Senate, then Vice president of the United States.</p>\n<p>10:36:43;05</p>\n<p>And you saw how quickly politically she wrapped up this nomination.</p>\n<p>10:36:47;14</p>\n<p>So she's prepared to lead the way for us to win the win the White House.</p>\n<p>10:36:54;13</p>\n<p>She and Tim Walls.</p>\n<p>10:36:55;21</p>\n<p>Isn't he wonderful?</p>\n<p>10:36:56;26</p>\n<p>He served with what hes just remarkable.</p>\n<p>10:37:02;10</p>\n<p>So when they say, what advice would you give her?</p>\n<p>10:37:04;22</p>\n<p>I just say, be yourself.</p>\n<p>10:37:07;00</p>\n<p>But what we have to do is be ourselves in doing our political work.</p>\n<p>10:37:13;22</p>\n<p>We must, we must, she's out here.</p>\n<p>10:37:17;14</p>\n<p>We're on the ground.</p>\n<p>10:37:18;14</p>\n<p>We must own the ground.</p>\n<p>10:37:21;08</p>\n<p>Nobody knows that better than Ben Wickler.</p>\n<p>10:37:23;26</p>\n<p>That's on the ground.</p>\n<p>10:37:26;13</p>\n<p>We must own the ground.</p>\n<p>10:37:28;01</p>\n<p>We must mobilize because if you don't mobilize everything else you do is just a conversation, whether it's on TV, or the mail and blah, blah, blah, own.</p>\n<p>10:37:38;02</p>\n<p>Get out that boat, the message.</p>\n<p>10:37:41;13</p>\n<p>And tonight Christine, my daughter tells me that we are going to be approving the platform.</p>\n<p>10:37:46;11</p>\n<p>So that will be the message of our party.</p>\n<p>10:37:49;22</p>\n<p>Progressive, bold, unifying, not menacing, unifying, not menacing.</p>\n<p>10:37:57;21</p>\n<p>And I can say that as a person from San Francisco, California, what works in Michigan Millbrook in San Francisco who works in San Francisco may not work in an electoral college state like Michigan.</p>\n<p>10:38:12;11</p>\n<p>So let's win, baby.</p>\n<p>10:38:14;01</p>\n<p>That's just what we have to win.</p>\n<p>10:38:20;13</p>\n<p>Mobilize, fuel that with a message of, of hope in that and the money to get the job done.</p>\n<p>10:38:29;21</p>\n<p>And that's coming in because of the path that Kamala and Tim are, are.</p>\n<p>10:38:34;19</p>\n<p>So, I guess we'll be calling them Mr President, Mr Vice.</p>\n<p>10:38:37;23</p>\n<p>Mm.</p>\n<p>10:38:39;03</p>\n<p>How about having a woman president of now?</p>\n<p>10:38:49;25</p>\n<p>I know that's exciting but that's not why she should be president.</p>\n<p>10:38:54;14</p>\n<p>She should be president because she's the best person for the job, the best person for the job who happens to be a woman.</p>\n<p>10:39:04;08</p>\n<p>And that's icing on the cake but make no mistake, man or woman, man or woman, best person for the job.</p>\n<p>10:39:12;00</p>\n<p>And I think that that's what we have to make sure people understand when I was running for speaker.</p>\n<p>10:39:18;13</p>\n<p>I said don't vote for me because I'm a woman but don't vote against me because I'm a woman.</p>\n<p>10:39:23;19</p>\n<p>Yeah.</p>\n<p>10:39:27;12</p>\n<p>And then I had my three nos, my three nos.</p>\n<p>10:39:30;13</p>\n<p>I had the three M si got the three nos, no wasted time.</p>\n<p>10:39:34;09</p>\n<p>Right.</p>\n<p>10:39:34;12</p>\n<p>Then no wasted time.</p>\n<p>10:39:36;14</p>\n<p>No underutilized resource or that's organization mobilizing messaging and no underutilized resource and no regrets the day after the election.</p>\n<p>10:39:48;13</p>\n<p>We just could have done more, we just could have done more.</p>\n<p>10:39:55;18</p>\n<p>So I'm a, I was former chair of the party before I went to Congress.</p>\n<p>10:39:59;23</p>\n<p>I had never had any intention of running for Congress.</p>\n<p>10:40:02;14</p>\n<p>You never know what's out there.</p>\n<p>10:40:03;21</p>\n<p>Ben?</p>\n<p>10:40:03;28</p>\n<p>You have to be ready.</p>\n<p>10:40:06;07</p>\n<p>Mhm.</p>\n<p>10:40:07;12</p>\n<p>But, but, but Kamala Harris is ready.</p>\n<p>10:40:15;14</p>\n<p>Tim Walls is ready.</p>\n<p>10:40:17;26</p>\n<p>So in any case, you again, we know what is at stake.</p>\n<p>10:40:21;08</p>\n<p>Wisconsin is in uh the lead in so many ways, whether it's leading in our, our biggest product uh globally is our agriculture.</p>\n<p>10:40:33;24</p>\n<p>It's so very, very important.</p>\n<p>10:40:36;04</p>\n<p>Uh uh I see a cheese head.</p>\n<p>10:40:37;25</p>\n<p>Oh, I see a lot of cheese heads but for the, for this and so many reasons, I thank you all for your leadership.</p>\n<p>10:40:46;21</p>\n<p>Now, in this, these two races, Peter Barca was a member of Congress.</p>\n<p>10:40:52;03</p>\n<p>We want him back again.</p>\n<p>10:40:58;10</p>\n<p>He's so wonderful.</p>\n<p>10:40:59;23</p>\n<p>We want him back again.</p>\n<p>10:41:01;04</p>\n<p>And Rebecca Cook in Wisconsin three here.</p>\n<p>10:41:05;15</p>\n<p>This is very, so you can't add by subtracting, you will reelect the members who are from Wisconsin and starting in the Senate with Tammy Baldwin.</p>\n<p>10:41:18;04</p>\n<p>Tammy Baldwin started in the house.</p>\n<p>10:41:20;17</p>\n<p>I campaigned with her in Madison and the suburban, the urban rural areas in her district as well.</p>\n<p>10:41:27;14</p>\n<p>Could see this woman of Great grace.</p>\n<p>10:41:31;02</p>\n<p>Now, she was going to be the first lesbian member of Congress that we knew the first lesbian member of Congress who better than Tammy Baldwin.</p>\n<p>10:41:40;14</p>\n<p>Coming in with her commitment, her values, her vision and the rest, her graciousness, her just goodness that emanated from her.</p>\n<p>10:41:52;25</p>\n<p>And then she went on to the United States Senate and that's where she has to go again.</p>\n<p>10:41:58;12</p>\n<p>So thank you for all of that.</p>\n<p>10:42:01;24</p>\n<p>So are you ready?</p>\n<p>10:42:02;29</p>\n<p>Are you ready to just win?</p>\n<p>10:42:05;10</p>\n<p>So I won't sing the national anthem for you.</p>\n<p>10:42:08;04</p>\n<p>But I just left the Maryland delegation.</p>\n<p>10:42:10;03</p>\n<p>That's where I'm from.</p>\n<p>10:42:11;13</p>\n<p>And um originally I've been in San Francisco for 50 years raising our family.</p>\n<p>10:42:16;24</p>\n<p>My daughter, Alexandra is here with her husband, Neil.</p>\n<p>10:42:19;22</p>\n<p>This is a family visit for us.</p>\n<p>10:42:21;11</p>\n<p>My daughter Christine, active in the Democratic Party keeps reminding me the platform is coming out tonight.</p>\n<p>10:42:29;07</p>\n<p>That will be our message.</p>\n<p>10:42:31;10</p>\n<p>But when I was in Maryland, I said to them, I brag about the fact that the national anthem was written in Baltimore, Francis Scott Key, the the war of 1812.</p>\n<p>10:42:43;02</p>\n<p>All of that.</p>\n<p>10:42:43;29</p>\n<p>Now when you're at a game, Green Bay didn't do too well.</p>\n<p>10:42:49;15</p>\n<p>Last night when you're at a game, you get to the end land, the free home of the brave everybody.</p>\n<p>10:42:55;22</p>\n<p>Cheers.</p>\n<p>10:42:56;09</p>\n<p>Right.</p>\n<p>10:42:59;02</p>\n<p>I hear before that when it says proof through the night that our flag was still there, proof enough that our flags are still there.</p>\n<p>10:43:14;07</p>\n<p>We are in the night in some respects in terms of the assault on our democracy that the other side, that other guy is making.</p>\n<p>10:43:22;08</p>\n<p>It's appalling.</p>\n<p>10:43:23;21</p>\n<p>It's horrible how the Republicans could even accept such an unpatriotic thing.</p>\n<p>10:43:28;28</p>\n<p>But it is what it is.</p>\n<p>10:43:30;05</p>\n<p>And as I say, we don't agonize, we organize, we unionize, we just win baby.</p>\n<p>10:43:35;27</p>\n<p>That's what it is.</p>\n<p>10:43:38;20</p>\n<p>Yeah, but we have to prove through the night that our flag was still there.</p>\n<p>10:43:45;12</p>\n<p>And as Joe Biden has consistently said and done as President of the United States, still there with liberty and justice for all.</p>\n<p>10:43:55;13</p>\n<p>Are we ready to just win baby, elect Kamala Harris and Tim walls, President, vice President of the United States, Tammy Baldwin to the United States and Peter Barker and Rebecca to the House of Representatives.</p>\n<p>10:44:10;03</p>\n<p>Thank you for the honor of sharing some thoughts for you as a former party chair, recognizing the work that you, that you do that is running for these positions, the grassroots activity of it just to own the ground, baby.</p>\n<p>10:44:25;20</p>\n<p>And that's our message.</p>\n<p>10:44:26;17</p>\n<p>That's how we're gonna win.</p>\n<p>10:44:28;01</p>\n<p>Thank you all so much.</p>\n<p>10:44:34;09</p>\n<p>Thank you, Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>10:44:39;06</p>\n<p>Yeah.</p>\n<p>10:44:41;15</p>\n<p>Right.</p>\n<p>10:44:45;29</p>\n<p>Speaker Nancy Pelosi author, I might add of the new book must read and she reads the audio book in her own voice.</p>\n<p>10:44:59;04</p>\n<p>The Art of power, a true artist.</p>\n<p>10:45:02;20</p>\n<p>Our amazing speaker, Emerita Nancy Pelosi, Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>10:45:10;01</p>\n<p>Are you ready to own the ground?</p>\n<p>10:45:14;02</p>\n<p>Are you ready to just win, baby?</p>\n<p>10:45:17;17</p>\n<p>Let's give another giant round of applause and thank you to Nancy Pelosi for joining us this morning.</p>\n<p>10:45:22;25</p>\n<p>Holy smokes.</p>\n<p>10:45:30;01</p>\n<p>Ah, I'm thrilled to be able to welcome this morning's final guest speaker.</p>\n<p>10:45:39;22</p>\n<p>I'm so pleased and proud to introduce someone who has brought case after case after critical case forward to advance the cause of justice, freedom and accountability in the state of Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>10:45:53;18</p>\n<p>Someone.</p>\n<p>10:45:54;03</p>\n<p>I'm proud to call a friend and neighbor.</p>\n<p>10:45:56;11</p>\n<p>Our one and only attorney general of the great state of Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>10:46:00;18</p>\n<p>Josh.</p>\n<p>10:46:08;05</p>\n<p>Thank you.</p>\n<p>10:46:09;08</p>\n<p>Hello, Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>10:46:11;26</p>\n<p>Holy cow.</p>\n<p>10:46:12;27</p>\n<p>What a week this is.</p>\n<p>10:46:14;15</p>\n<p>You know, at first I got, I have to tell you a story and, and you're all gonna wanna hear this.</p>\n<p>10:46:18;28</p>\n<p>Uh, just a few minutes ago.</p>\n<p>10:46:20;23</p>\n<p>I had what I think will be a, a lifelong memory, which is, somebody came up to me and said, um, Nancy Pelosi's schedule has shifted a little bit.</p>\n<p>10:46:28;26</p>\n<p>Is it ok if she goes ahead of you, the Obamas weren't available.</p>\n<p>10:46:36;28</p>\n<p>Um, uh, the greatest speaker in American history just spoke to this audience.</p>\n<p>10:46:43;19</p>\n<p>What a day and by the, and, and what a week this has been and what a month this has been.</p>\n<p>10:46:52;25</p>\n<p>Um, I have a lot to say about that.</p>\n<p>10:46:54;27</p>\n<p>There's a lot to talk about right now, but I actually want to start with some Wisconsin business because there is a lot going on at the state level right now.</p>\n<p>10:47:03;13</p>\n<p>We, I think deserve a round of applause for all the work that you have done that the state party has done because last week and it's hard to believe this was just last week.</p>\n<p>10:47:13;18</p>\n<p>We had a primary in Wisconsin where Republicans put two amendments to grab power away from Governor Ebers and give it to our legislature.</p>\n<p>10:47:23;15</p>\n<p>And Wisconsinites organized, they got information out about the stakes of that vote and we overwhelmingly defeated those Republican amendments.</p>\n<p>10:47:33;10</p>\n<p>Great work, Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>10:47:39;02</p>\n<p>And I, I don't know if you saw Robin Voss remarks when he was asked about these amendments and what was coming in the future?</p>\n<p>10:47:46;27</p>\n<p>He said that he's going to double down on constitutional amendments.</p>\n<p>10:47:53;17</p>\n<p>Now.</p>\n<p>10:47:53;26</p>\n<p>I, I don't want to bring up bad memories, but you may remember that after Governor Ebers and I were first elected in 2018, Robin Voss began his power grab spree by bringing the legislature into special election and having them vote to take authority away from the governor's office and the A GS office.</p>\n<p>10:48:12;29</p>\n<p>But you know, I have a point I want to make about how things have gone with with Robin Voss as speaker.</p>\n<p>10:48:19;08</p>\n<p>When Robin Voss was elected, speaker, Republicans had overwhelming majorities in the state legislature.</p>\n<p>10:48:26;06</p>\n<p>Republicans controlled the governor's office.</p>\n<p>10:48:28;29</p>\n<p>Republicans controlled the A GS office.</p>\n<p>10:48:31;13</p>\n<p>Republicans had a clear majority on the state Supreme court.</p>\n<p>10:48:36;20</p>\n<p>Well, now Governor Evers is in his second term as governor.</p>\n<p>10:48:44;01</p>\n<p>I am proud to be in my second term as attorney general.</p>\n<p>10:48:48;07</p>\n<p>Our state Supreme court majority has flipped Robin Boss's power grab with the amendments has gone down.</p>\n<p>10:48:56;08</p>\n<p>Robin Voss has seen defeat after defeat after defeat, but we've got one more defeat to hand him because this fall, we have the opportunity to vote with fair maps for the first time in more than a decade.</p>\n<p>10:49:12;03</p>\n<p>So this fall, let's flip the majority in the assembly and let's end the speakership of Robin Vos, we, we've got seats to gain in the Senate as well and we have a clear path to a majority in the Senate if we put in the work in this election and the next election and think about what it would mean in Wisconsin to have Republic to have Republican majorities gone and to have Democrats in the majority.</p>\n<p>10:49:44;01</p>\n<p>It means common sense, gun safety legislation get past, like Chris Murphy talked about it means expanding Medicaid.</p>\n<p>10:49:51;28</p>\n<p>So more of our residents are able to get access to the health care they need.</p>\n<p>10:49:56;20</p>\n<p>With a democratic majority, we can codify reproductive rights into Wisconsin law and we can finally fully fund education in Wisconsin if we have a democratic majority.</p>\n<p>10:50:14;01</p>\n<p>And of course, we've got critical congressional races.</p>\n<p>10:50:17;18</p>\n<p>The two that Speaker Pelosi mentioned, I also want to highlight the eighth congressional district where our outstanding candidate Kristen Lyerly Kristen, are you here?</p>\n<p>10:50:27;03</p>\n<p>Is running, is running to win that district and flip that blue.</p>\n<p>10:50:32;28</p>\n<p>Now, I don't need to tell anybody here about the stakes in the senate election and how critical it is that we reelect Tammy Baldwin.</p>\n<p>10:50:39;18</p>\n<p>This is somebody who fights every day for Wisconsinites.</p>\n<p>10:50:44;20</p>\n<p>Tammy Baldwin has gone to bed for us.</p>\n<p>10:50:47;11</p>\n<p>She's fighting for Buy America.</p>\n<p>10:50:49;13</p>\n<p>She has succeeded in protecting same sex marriages.</p>\n<p>10:50:53;05</p>\n<p>She is fighting to codify reproductive rights at the federal level.</p>\n<p>10:50:57;27</p>\n<p>Tammy Baldwin has expanded access to affordable health care.</p>\n<p>10:51:02;05</p>\n<p>She is a champion for us on issue after issue and her opponent is in Wisconsin sometimes.</p>\n<p>10:51:11;16</p>\n<p>Well, she has been talking to communities to people across our state.</p>\n<p>10:51:16;11</p>\n<p>Eric Hovde has been, I think doing beach is the phrase for that.</p>\n<p>10:51:22;25</p>\n<p>The contrast could not be clear, but he has talked about ending the Affordable Care Act.</p>\n<p>10:51:27;21</p>\n<p>He's talked about how he's wanted to overturn Roe V. Wade.</p>\n<p>10:51:32;16</p>\n<p>The stakes could not be more clear.</p>\n<p>10:51:35;03</p>\n<p>And speaking of races where the stakes could not be more clear.</p>\n<p>10:51:38;20</p>\n<p>We have all been hearing about the presidential election for the last few days.</p>\n<p>10:51:43;11</p>\n<p>I just want to add a few points to some of what we've heard first.</p>\n<p>10:51:47;09</p>\n<p>I, I believe that this is the most important election in any of our lifetimes.</p>\n<p>10:51:53;04</p>\n<p>The difference in the path that Kamala Harris and Tim walls have laid out and the path that Donald Trump and JD Vance have laid out is as big a difference as you can possibly imagine.</p>\n<p>10:52:04;15</p>\n<p>But let's talk about competence, you know, the values, the principles matter, but let's talk about competence and I'll just give you one example.</p>\n<p>10:52:12;16</p>\n<p>I spent a lot of time as your attorney general thinking about public safety.</p>\n<p>10:52:16;27</p>\n<p>We've held big pharmaceutical companies accountable for their role in the opioid epidemic.</p>\n<p>10:52:21;20</p>\n<p>We fought to strengthen our sexual assault kit laws.</p>\n<p>10:52:24;29</p>\n<p>We have stood up against gun violence and for common sense, gun safety measures and when it comes to public safety, I don't know if you saw JD Vance's remarks last week in Milwaukee, but in talking about his approach to public safety, I'm not making this up.</p>\n<p>10:52:41;03</p>\n<p>He pointed people to the movie, The Gangs of New York for how we should think about public safety in Kamala Harris.</p>\n<p>10:52:49;20</p>\n<p>We have the former attorney general of the largest state in the country who has taken on people responsible for mortgage fraud.</p>\n<p>10:52:57;01</p>\n<p>A former prosecutor from one of our largest counties who put dangerous violent offenders behind bars.</p>\n<p>10:53:05;16</p>\n<p>And on the Republican side, you've got one guy who's seen gangs of New York and another guy who's seen Silence of the lambs.</p>\n<p>10:53:12;19</p>\n<p>This is not a tough choice.</p>\n<p>10:53:15;22</p>\n<p>I will say if there's one movie I associate with Donald Trump, it's actually a Jim Carrey movie.</p>\n<p>10:53:21;23</p>\n<p>It's called Liar, Liar.</p>\n<p>10:53:29;04</p>\n<p>But we also see the impact of that expertise in the results we've gotten when Donald Trump was in office.</p>\n<p>10:53:34;27</p>\n<p>As president, violent crime went up, shootings went up, homicides went up including in Wisconsin and with the Biden Harris administration in office, shootings have dropped.</p>\n<p>10:53:48;24</p>\n<p>Homicides have dropped at historic levels.</p>\n<p>10:53:52;15</p>\n<p>They have been investing in and supporting the FBI and the US DOJ while Donald Trump has been attacking them and claims that if he's elected president, he will weaponize them.</p>\n<p>10:54:04;25</p>\n<p>That is not an approach that is going to make our communities safer.</p>\n<p>10:54:08;09</p>\n<p>It's not an approach that's gonna make our community stronger.</p>\n<p>10:54:10;25</p>\n<p>We cannot afford another four years of their incompetence in the White House and when it comes to our values, the contrast could not be clear.</p>\n<p>10:54:20;11</p>\n<p>I wanna tell you a quick story about Kamala Harris.</p>\n<p>10:54:23;16</p>\n<p>She is fighting to strengthen our middle class.</p>\n<p>10:54:26;05</p>\n<p>She's fighting to expand access to affordable health care.</p>\n<p>10:54:29;14</p>\n<p>She's fighting to protect our natural resources and she has made our freedom a centerpiece of her campaign.</p>\n<p>10:54:36;11</p>\n<p>Well, when the Dobbs decision was pending at the Supreme Court, we had a good sense of where that case was going.</p>\n<p>10:54:43;19</p>\n<p>And Kamala Harris herself, a former A G convened several A GS including me from around the country asked us to come meet with her at the White House.</p>\n<p>10:54:54;10</p>\n<p>So several of us went there.</p>\n<p>10:54:55;25</p>\n<p>Some of us showed up by Zoom and Kamala Harris wanted to hear from us about what we needed in our States.</p>\n<p>10:55:02;04</p>\n<p>If the Dobbs decision came out the way we feared, she wanted to hear about how we were elevating the concerns that people were having about their own reproductive freedom, about the health of their families if access to abortion was lost and she wanted to know how she could help.</p>\n<p>10:55:18;25</p>\n<p>Well, it turned out that was the day before the Dobbs decision came down.</p>\n<p>10:55:23;20</p>\n<p>And you may remember four days after that decision, Governor Evers and I announced a lawsuit to block enforcement of our 1849 ban and we have now restored reproductive freedom in Wisconsin.</p>\n<p>10:55:40;21</p>\n<p>But, but the fight isn't over, it is still going on in the courts, it's going to go on in our state legislature and it's going to go on at the federal level.</p>\n<p>10:55:49;00</p>\n<p>Kamala Harris is a leader who understands the importance of protecting our freedom and who's going to put in the work to get it done.</p>\n<p>10:55:56;11</p>\n<p>On the other side have, how many of you have heard about project 2025?</p>\n<p>10:56:02;11</p>\n<p>The secret is out, right.</p>\n<p>10:56:04;04</p>\n<p>The secret is out 900 plus pages that I can boil down.</p>\n<p>10:56:09;17</p>\n<p>Actually, I can save you a lot of time.</p>\n<p>10:56:11;11</p>\n<p>It's about attacking our freedoms.</p>\n<p>10:56:13;16</p>\n<p>It's about attacking the middle class and it's about attacking equality of opportunity.</p>\n<p>10:56:20;05</p>\n<p>So with those 40 hours, we just saved, let's make sure that 2025 project doesn't go into effect in Wisconsin or anywhere in this country.</p>\n<p>10:56:30;11</p>\n<p>It's a, it's a project about fundamentally taking our country backwards, taking us backwards in some cases, hundreds of years.</p>\n<p>10:56:40;09</p>\n<p>But as Vice President Harris likes to say about going backwards, we're not going back, we are not going to go back, but we know what it takes in Wisconsin to make sure that we move forward and not backward.</p>\n<p>10:56:55;17</p>\n<p>We know what it means to put in the kind of work we do to get elections across the finish line and to win.</p>\n<p>10:57:01;17</p>\n<p>And if you need any extra motivation over the next 76 days, let me just say this.</p>\n<p>10:57:07;14</p>\n<p>I don't know how many of you had the chance to hear from Hillary Clinton, uh on the first night of the convention.</p>\n<p>10:57:14;04</p>\n<p>But it brought back a lot of memories for me from that 2016 election.</p>\n<p>10:57:18;05</p>\n<p>And one thing that I will always remember is the videos that were going viral on election day of people who had cast their ballot, had those I voted stickers and put them on Susan B, Anthony's gravestone.</p>\n<p>10:57:32;11</p>\n<p>And what we all thought was going to be a celebratory night as those election results rolled in became a nightmare.</p>\n<p>10:57:39;25</p>\n<p>Uh And we have now lived through years and years of Donald Trump's divisiveness and even now with Joe Biden, the White House, Donald Trump casts a pall over what is happening in this country.</p>\n<p>10:57:53;09</p>\n<p>He brings division, he encourages Republicans to obstruct.</p>\n<p>10:57:57;02</p>\n<p>He has stood in the way of progress.</p>\n<p>10:58:01;21</p>\n<p>But in 76 days, we can fundamentally change that narrative.</p>\n<p>10:58:07;16</p>\n<p>We can elect Kamala Harris as the next president of the United States.</p>\n<p>10:58:11;13</p>\n<p>And think about what that will mean for little girls across this country, not just to be told that they can do anything but to see it in the highest office of our land.</p>\n<p>10:58:23;16</p>\n<p>And as the father of two boys, let me tell you think about what it means for all of our Children to grow up in an America where equality of opportunity is not just something we say, but is something we can show is true for every American when we stand up for equal justice under the law.</p>\n<p>10:58:41;08</p>\n<p>We all benefit when we speak out against hate against the transgender community.</p>\n<p>10:58:47;02</p>\n<p>All of us become safer when we speak out against racial injustice.</p>\n<p>10:58:51;22</p>\n<p>All of us get to live in a society that is more equal when we come together.</p>\n<p>10:58:57;02</p>\n<p>When we are united, we are as strong as we can be and we all benefit no matter what.</p>\n<p>10:59:03;16</p>\n<p>Donald Trump and JD Vance say as they try to divide us.</p>\n<p>10:59:07;08</p>\n<p>So in 76 days, let's get engaged.</p>\n<p>10:59:10;20</p>\n<p>Let's make sure we knock on doors.</p>\n<p>10:59:12;28</p>\n<p>Let's make sure we pick up the phone.</p>\n<p>10:59:14;18</p>\n<p>Let's have those difficult conversations with our friends and our family and our neighbors and let's elect Kamala Harris and Tim walls as the next president and vice president of the United States.</p>\n<p>10:59:26;12</p>\n<p>Let's do it.</p>\n<p>10:59:27;01</p>\n<p>Let's go.</p>\n<p>10:59:27;19</p>\n<p>Thank you, everybody.</p>\n<p>10:59:29;09</p>\n<p>Thank you, Attorney General, Josh Cole.</p>\n<p>10:59:40;00</p>\n<p>Let's give him of applause fighting for all of us.</p>\n<p>10:59:46;21</p>\n<p>Oh, what a breakfast.</p>\n<p>10:59:49;08</p>\n<p>What speakers?</p>\n<p>10:59:50;08</p>\n<p>What a day we have got.</p>\n<p>10:59:52;23</p>\n<p>We have one final order of business before we get, which is the drawings for the guest masses and the prizes for today before I introduce our executive director, Cassie Felli and our deputy executive directors, Abel for the drawing.</p>\n<p>11:00:08;04</p>\n<p>Let me say a couple of things, a reminder first to make sure tonight if you are in, if you have a delegate pass or a guest pass that you are in your seat by 6 p.m. So you can cheer on Mayor Cavalier Johnson.</p>\n<p>11:00:21;01</p>\n<p>When he addresses our convention tonight, we are so excited, so excited to show what Wisconsin sounds like when we cheer.</p>\n<p>11:00:31;11</p>\n<p>Secondly, if you do not have a pass tonight, there are many places you could go to watch.</p>\n<p>11:00:36;00</p>\n<p>One of them is the into action reception area where there's beautiful screens and snacks and food and art.</p>\n<p>11:00:41;22</p>\n<p>And everybody is invited there throughout the day.</p>\n<p>11:00:43;20</p>\n<p>And then after the gavel drops, everyone is invited to DNC committee man, Alex

FTG FOR COVERAGE OF THE BRITISH PETROLEUM COMPANY (BP) OIL RIG EXPLOSION / DISASTER / AND MASSIVE OIL SPILL IN THE GULF OF MEXICO Pensacola Beach wide shot Orange Beach MOS - local reax to possible hurricanes/tropical storms Orange Beach broll Gulf Shore broll starts with a woman in a blue shirt in parking lot 17:57:09 we're just. That would be the worst thing to happen we would be wiping it off our condos if it did . literally it would hit. The oil would hit the condos because it would come further ashore. I don't know.just that would not be good at all. It would prolong it , them fixing it. Were at a stand still. We don't know what to do. We don't know to wait it out or leave 17:58:02 I haven't heard anything Any preparatiosn? 17:58:11 no I don't think bp has had to experience anything like this. Weve never had to. I don't know what they would do. I cant talk for them. Cant answer that. I am upset with them but cant answer for them Are they prepared? Whats gonna happen? 17:58:57 no I don't because they would have to start from scratch theyd have to get all the skimmers out. And start from day one. After the storm passes , if its bad, it could be realy bad. Start from scratch 17:59:28 we went through ivan here. And I have been thru quite a few. I cant say exactly what would happen of course. I don't know. I just pray for the best. Hopefully you don't want it to hit here. 18:00:56 im concerned now. I mean the beaches already.doesn't even look like anyones doing anything. If youwalk, just lines and lines of oil. Not gonna let my kids swim in it.so I cant imagine them doing less. And that's just from my pov but I don't know what theyre doing in the boats but they look horrible. You could see the change in the beach 18:01:39 I don't see anyone out here. I don't know 18:01:48 I think if I hurricant comes in it will be disastrous.the ssand is beautiful. It's a beautiful white beach. And if a hurricane blows up how are you gonna get oil out from oiup here? Just the tid e alone.but once its up here and on buildings. Its gonna be distastrous. One thing to run a tractor down there, but you cant run a tractor up here. All it will come up on.be disgusting 18:03:04 I think . I think bps efforts are kind of , theyre trying to cover themselves of course. Trying to get our of this with out financial hardhship. Don't want to be bad guy but don't want to go bankrupts. If a hurricant comes here I don't know what they could do . I don't know what amount of money could stop damage 18:03:52 I don't think even with our government and obp.I don't care how much money. How are you gonna stop this oil?it will take years to get back to how it is now. I don't care how much man power. 18:04:22 and then you gotta think about the smell and wildlife and others that depend on this. Its irreplaceable. Even if u had manpower it would take years. I don't know . I think theyir biggest thing is get this ting stopped somhow. They implode wells, but they gotta have some, if they gotta blow a big hold down there. 18:05:17 its gonna be disastrous. Its disastrous now with the evffort much less if a storm came and brought everything in. it will be a mess and will take years before its all picked up .. we can just pray the storm turns. We're praying riht now. Or they find some sort of way to capture the oil. 18:06:12 weve been coming here for quite a while and my parents came here. Its not gonna be the same. How can you bring your kids if they cant go in the water? 18:06:55 my grandparents came here , and then .this is childhood memories and stuff. My grandparents, my parents, my family. And all that.its just something that we do. We have great fishing and stuff, but if you want a nice beach this is where you came. Close to home for la folks. This is where we always came. I bring my family here. Anyway its pretty sad to know that they'll be lucky to bring their kids here.by the time they get old enough and have kids.hopefully it will be fixed by then. Pretty depressing. That's the main reason we came down here.one last shot before everything gets so bad. You can tell the difference from 18:08:24 the end of the week to the beginning of the week. And you can t just tell your kid to go play in that. It will probably be our last year here. The hurricane will be sdisastrous. Especially if there are a bunch in a row. 18:08:59 weven our wetlands. We live on the wetlands on la. Its just as bad there. That's what we do, that's our life.fishing. When we;'re not catching it, we're eating it. 18:09:25 we survived a few hurricants. Our last house was hit and when they came thru we had flooding and had another house hit by Katrina and had damage from that. And we had .its just a lot oto take. Its not like a hurricane and you see a scary imnage. But its just a long on going thing 18:10:08 all the wildlife all the fish. And that's what you come here for. You come here for rfishing, get a boat and go with your family. I take my kid fishing and now you don't know if you can eat anything anymore. Getting good crabs, bad? How will the oysters be? But that's the sad thing. We will probably have to import now. 18:10:56 they gonna pay for that? That's gonna be more expensive to get foods were used to growing up on. I don't see how they can put a monetary value on this.but I don't see hwo they can put a value on what they have destrouyed. If there was a ny way possible, they could have stopped this they should be held actable because this is ridiculous bc no amount will be worth what I have to lose. 18:11:49 .brian pennington and Jennifer pennington fro baton rouge, la 18:12:07 james wells from orange beach Alabama: 18:12:20 well I live in orange beach and I am just aseeing the real impact but its just shifting here with the wind. I believe we are just at the tip of the iceburg. I believe there is a potential for lot of damages and ive been looking on the internet and the dispersant is banned in eurpor ebecause its so toxic. .and it can be taken up into the atmosphere 18:13:49 this is gonna be a worldwide problem before its over. It will go around world with dcurrents in 18 months. If you take these caosts, theres not enough money in tehw orld to make this right. 18:14:23 I do not believe bp is prepared for anything no t prepared for spill or storm plans. ..but I don't think they have plans 18:15:01 but what this .I was reading online about a report that was prepared two days ago and they said this is gonna be the worst disaster catastrophe of any in the world of recorded time.bc of dispersants 18:15:44 I think they need to hire some high power business man to take care of this project and take out bureaucracy. We need to be focused on this and get a solution. Get someone who can run this like a professional thing. 18:16:54 it needs to be caught on water before it comes on shore. The waves just keep coming. This will take whole ecosystem out 18:17:18 its gonna come here and spred towards st pete.go through tip of fl and down there.wipe that out and up east coast. 18:18:11 broll of beach goers. Tanners. People under umprellas 18:18:38 people on chairs, watching water 18:18:53 people standing on shore looking at water. Walking back up the sand 18:19:02 flags. 18:19:39 ive lived here for six years and id take an earthquake any day ofver a hurricant . it worries me what will happen to the gulf.. (wasn't looking at cam) 18:20:10 ive moved here six years ago from southern California and ill take a quake any day over hurricant and what kind of effect it will have on coast, none of us know. It breaks our heart.here in Alabama we say we are fixing to have a hurricane.id rather have a quake. I pray for us and hope they get messs cleaned 18:21:02 .paula dawson from foley Alabama Broll: 18:21:12 broll playing volleyball on beach infront of clean up crews in hazmat suits.

I don't know what they could do. They just have to wait til it gets here and clean it up. 18:26:04 I don't know how much is out ther.
