SOT Sharon Osbourne: "Yeah we had a lot of extra stuff to put onto the DVD and games and stuff so there's something for everyone on there." 10. Clip 'The Osbournes': FANS TAKE THE OSBOURNES HOME The most popular family in rock have been meeting fans in Los Angeles, signing copies of newly released DVD 'The Osbournes' Season One. Dedicated followers of the antics of Ozzy and his clan crowded into the Virgin megastore to get an autograph, and be the first to buy MTV's smash hit for their home collection. The show's first series, which was filmed in Ozzy Osbourne's Beverly Hills mansion, recorded the everyday lives of the Birmingham-born rocker and his dysfunctional family - wife Sharon, daughter Kelly and son Jack. It went on to become America's highest-rated cable show, and MTV's biggest show in its 21 year history, attracting audiences of over six million people. International release followed, along with a rock pop career for daughter Kelly Osbourne. The DVD offers extras including interviews with the family, four never-before-seen episodes and a selection of 'bloopers' that never made the original shows. Fans can relive all ten episodes of the hit reality TV show, with commentary. That means a chance to endlessly rerun scenes like Ozzy desperately trying to work out a hi-tech integrated home system remote control, discussing his short attention span, or wandering away from a discussion of a gig set list to have a quiet sit down, only to fall off his chair. Ozzy explains why viewers have had to wait until now for the DVD extras. "There's also outtakes from the series that were never shown. I mean you can imagine they film from 8 in the morning to 10 or 11 at night and so the hours and hours of ... that's on there." Fans can also edit a scene themselves, play The Osbournes Bingo Game, or 'Name That Dookie.' Sharon Osbourne says they were spoilt for choice. "Yeah we had a lot of extra stuff to put onto the DVD and games and stuff so there's something for everyone on there." The second series of The Osbournes began airing in November. The family let the cameras in to see Sharon battling with cancer of the colon and to follow Kelly's pop career. CLEARANCE DETAILS The Osbournes MTV Networks

As you can see, in this jacket for example, you can see raw cuts, you can see this kind of "marbleization." I don't know if you can say that in English but it's a sort of pigmentation of this treatment that creates this tone to tone effect that gives out a really strong but contemporary feeling." 14. Pan of venue interior TORTURED POETS AT BYBLOS Poetry in motion - that was the idea behind the 2010 menswear collection by Byblos. Apparently inspired by Baudelaire and in particular his poem 'Spleen', and its relation of suffering and anguish in an uncaring capitalist society. On the models this translated into thin ties knotted on bare necks under unfastened shirts and distressed jackets with water stained fabric.

I think the main thing is you know, we realised we trust each other, you know, quite early on which means you can take bigger risks with your work. If we hadn't done that then I think it would be really awful for us both really. So I was very lucky. " Miramax 9. Clip "Cheri" PFEIFFER, FRIEND STEAM UP THE BIG SCREEN IN "CHERI" More than 20 years after their '80's hit "Dangerous Liaisons," Michelle Pfeiffer reunites with director Stephen Frears and writer Christopher Hampton in "Cheri." Set in turn of the century Paris, the romantic drama follows the love story of beautiful, retired courtesan Lea de Lonval, played by Pfeiffer, and Cheri, a man half her age. Pfeiffer describes her character as a "modern day call girl." "You know they were this small little sect of women who were incredibly independent and they were smart and powerful and shrewd business women," she says. Rupert Friend plays her young love interest, Cheri. The 27-year-old says a certain four-letter expletive went through his mind when he heard he'd be acting opposite Pfeiffer. His next question: "How long into the shoot before I can ask her to do the Catwoman tongue thing?" In the film, Lea soon realises that her scandalous romp turned true love comes with weighty consequences as her darling Cheri is pressured into a more conventional marriage. "It was a great part," says Pfeiffer. "And it was an amazing group of people. I was thrilled at the prospect of working with Stephen Frears and Christopher Hampton again and it was a lovely script and it was really all those things." And what about shooting all those steamy sex scenes? Friend says Pfeiffer made it "easy" for him by keeping the mood light. "I think the main thing is you know, we realized we trust each other, you know, quite early on which means you can take bigger risks with your work," says Friend. "If we hadn't done that then I think it would be really awful for us both really. " "Cheri" opens in select U.S. theaters on Friday, June 26.

(AP Photo/Lennox McLendon) FreeCreditReport.com 11. Clip Video Ed McGansta Part I" ED MCMAHON DIES AT 86 Ed McMahon, the loyal "Tonight Show" sidekick who bolstered boss Johnny Carson with guffaws and a resounding "H-e-e-e-e-e-ere's Johnny!" for 30 years, died early Tuesday. He was 86. McMahon died shortly after midnight at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center surrounded by his wife, Pam, and other family members, said his publicist, Howard Bragman. Bragman didn't give a cause of death, saying only that McMahon had a "multitude of health problems the last few months." McMahon broke his neck in a fall in March 2007, and battled a series of financial problems as his injuries prevented him from working. Doc Severinson, "Tonight" bandleader during the Carson era, said McMahon was a man "full of life and joy and celebration." "He will be sorely missed. He was one of the greats in show business, but most of all he was a gentleman. I miss my friend," Severinson said in a statement. McMahon and Carson had worked together for nearly five years on the game show "Who Do You Trust?" when Carson took over NBC's late-night show from Jack Paar in October 1962. McMahon played second banana on "Tonight" until Carson retired in 1992. "And now h-e-e-e-e-e-ere's Johnny!" was McMahon's trademark opener for each "Tonight" show, followed by a small, respectful bow toward the star. McMahon's style was honed during his youthful days as a carnival hawker. McMahon's medical and financial problems kept him in the headlines in his last years. It was reported in June 2008 that he was facing possible foreclosure on his Beverly Hills home. By year's end, a deal was worked out allowing him to stay in his home, but legal action involving other alleged debts continued. McMahon even spoofed his own problems with a spot that aired during the 2009 Super Bowl promoting a cash-for-gold business. Pairing up with rap artist MC Hammer, he explained how easy it is to turn gold items into cash, jokingly saying "Goodbye, old friend" to a gold toilet and rolling out a convincing "H-e-e-e-e-e-ere's money!" Born Edward Leo Peter McMahon Jr. on March 6, 1923, in Detroit, McMahon grew up in Lowell, Mass. He got his start on television playing a circus clown on the 1950-51 variety series "Big Top." But the World War II Marine veteran interrupted his career to serve as a fighter pilot in Korea. He joined "Who Do You Trust?" in 1958, its second year, the start of his long association with Carson. It was a partnership that outlasted their multiple marriages, which provided regular on-air fodder for jokes. While Carson built his career around "Tonight" and withdrew from the limelight after his retirement, McMahon took a different path. He was host of several shows over the years, including "The Kraft Music Hall" (1968) and the amateur talent contest "Star Search," whose competitors included over the years Justin Timberlake, Usher, LeAnn Rimes, Adam Sandler and Rosie O'Donnell. He was a longtime co-host of the Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Association Telethon, a Labor Day weekend institution, and was co-host with Dick Clark of "TV's Bloopers and Practical Jokes." McMahon and Clark also teamed up as pitchmen for American Family Publishers' sweepstakes, with their faces a familiar sight on contest entry forms and in TV commercials. McMahon was known for his ongoing commercials for Budweiser as well. He had supporting roles in several movies, including "Fun With Dick and Jane" (1977) and "Just Write" (1997). He took on his first regular TV series job in the 1997 WB sitcom "The Tom Show" with Tom Arnold. McMahon released his autobiography, "For Laughing Out Loud: My Life and Good Times," in 1998. In it, he recounts the birth of "Tonight." Besides his wife, Pam, McMahon is survived by children Claudia, Katherine, Linda, Jeffrey and Lex. Bragman said no funeral arrangements have been made.

We saw there in the banana plantations, a lot of people we talked to them and then we just mixed many things. I mean, the accent was completely invented. That was really fun to do.

Clip Trailer ' Rudo and Cursi ' SIBLING RIVALRY AND BROTHERLY LOVE ON 'RUDO AND CURSI' Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal play half brothers who love football and have a problem with each other, in 'Rudo and Cursi'. Noticed by a talent scout, they are both picked to turn professional - but are soon distracted by other temptations. The film follows their move from working on a banana plantation to playing for teams in Mexico City and sees how the characters are seduced by record deals, women, gambling and drugs. The tale is written and directed by Carlos Cuaron, who co-wrote the first film his stars made together, 2001's acclaimed 'Y Tu Mama Tambien'. That film's director - Cuaron's brother Alfronso - is one of 'Rudo and Cursi's producers. The shared history between the filmmakers and their stars helped to make shooting the new movie a positive experience. "It made it easier, at least for me, you know, the fact that we are all close friends, that we know each other so well, that we are like this family of friends," said Carlos. "It saves you a lot of time, but also its just the trust, you know, and the camaraderie that happens and the whole atmosphere during the shooting was amazing." "And everybody there for the same reason and you know, with the same goals, it was very easy," adds Alfonso. "At the end, everybody was there because they really wanted to be there." 'Rudo and Cursi' is the first release from the production Cha Cha Cha company formed by some of the best known directors in Mexican cinema - Alfonso Cuaron, Guillermo del Toro ('Pan's Labyrinth') and Alejandro Gonzalex Inarritu ('Babel'), who are all producers on the film.

So it was a bit of a surprise, I expect it was voted for and didn't quite make the lists in the other categories." 10. Film clip 'Mullholland Drive' 11.

I am amazed because I think that it is quite an average movie, I am really surprised at the way that they academy have taken it board. It is the traditional handicapped man triumphing over adversity and they like that and they like voting for that. It's a story that they like to see and it has a feel good ending and given the year that we have it is a hopeful film." 19. Film clip 'Lord of the Rings' 20. SOT Emma Cochrane (Editor, Empire Magazine) - on 'Lord of the Rings' - "In terms of popular... in terms of the best film of the year I think 'Lord Of The Rings' is the best film of the year but that doesn't mean that it is going to win. It's very difficult for people to vote for films that they just like you have to think is this award winning. What people think is award winning, particularly because the academy is old, is not necessarily the popular film." 21. SOT Peter Jackson - on being nominated for Oscars - "The unusual thing with the Oscars is that to be nominated is almost as good as winning, they have such a status that to be an academy award nominee has a certain weight of its own accord despite whoever happens to win the awards in the end." 22. Film trailer 'Lord of the Rings' STORYLINE: TOP OSCARS AWARDS TO CLOSE TO CALL The awards for Best Actor and Actress may carry the glamour, but when the chips are down the awards that really matter are for Best Director and Best Picture Film is a director's medium - we see the writer's story and the actor's performance through the director's eyes, and it is only they who get to put their name to a movie. And producers, who receive the Best Picture award, do two even more crucial things - they decide to make the movie in the first place, and then take the money. And with a whispering campaign against the front runner ('A Beautiful Mind') and a spread of pre-Oscar awards for all the others, the field is wide open. But as Emma Cochrane, the editor of Britain's top film magazine Empire explains, the Academy have broken with tradition in the nominations for the two most important awards. "I think it was a surprise in the nominations that there wasn't a crossover in all the film director category. Usually you would expect the same people nominated for best film to be best director. Baz Luhrmann is missing which I think is a travesty for 'Moulin Rouge'. You'd think that really was a director's film." Indeed you would, but not the sort of director the conservative Academy approves of. But that isn't the only reason 'Moulin Rouge' has no Best Director nomination, and little chance of winning in the Best Picture category. The film is funny, or at least tongue in cheek - usually a no-no with Academy voters, and it also features large amounts of music and singing - an even bigger blooper when it comes to the 5,700 voters of the Academy. Those elements on their own are almost enough to guarantee it doesn't get a director's nomination, and keep the producers from winning the Best Picture award, but some have said the movie fails to connect emotionally with its audience, a charge Baz Luhrmann refutes. "Some people have accused us that you don't have an emotional feeling from it," says the Australian director. " {but} from what I have observed at screenings many people were moved by it, so it is just the kind of person that it is made for." By contrast RIDLEY SCOTT is nominated for Best Director for his war docu-drama 'Black Hawk Down' but misses out on the possibility of a Best Picture. 'Black Hawk Down' comes closer to what the Academy likes to see in from Best Directors. It may not be uplifting (ideal), but it does tell about the bravery of good honest Americans, and while it doesn't revolve around love, it generates a good deal of patriotic well-being among its audiences (assuming they are citizens of the USA, of course). That will help it, but may not be enough to get over the snowballing success 'A Beautiful Mind' seems to be enjoying. This is Ridley Scott's third Oscar nomination, and he's proud to be in the running for this year's award. "That's a real interesting cross section so anyone that says that they all make the same movies coming out of Hollywood, it absolutely bullshit. That couldn't be more disparate in terms of its choices, I think that is very interesting." Emma Cochrane think Ridley was a bit shocked not to get more awards: "'Black Hawk Down' did very well in the American box office, it took over 100 million, I thought that it would get more nominations so Ridley Scotts token nomination was the tip of the iceberg that was expected. So it was a bit of a surprise, I expect it was voted for and didn't quite make the lists in the other categories." DAVID LYNCH'S 'Mulholland Drive' is exactly the kind of film we'd expect from the man behind the surreal TV series 'Twin Peaks' and movies like 'Blue Velvet' and 'Wild at Heart', and marks his third nomination for a Best Director Academy Award. But the fact that 'Mulholland Drive' was rejected by ABC as a TV series suggests that a surreal exploration of the L.A. subconcious doesn't have much of a hope with Academy either. Not only is it not uplifting and lacking a happy ending, it's barely comprensible and aruguably doesn't even have an ending. This doesn't make it a bad film, just a bad Oscar film. But Lynch, clearly, could never have turned it into a formulaic award winner: "Once you fall in love with these ideas they tell you how they want to be translated to film and even though it is a long process with many different elements you always can check back to the original ideas that you fell in love with." With the benefit of hindsight it's easy to see why the tiny independent film 'In The Bedroom' has done so well, both at the box office and at the pre-Oscar awards, where it has one a total of eight awards: It has a strong emotional story about an all American family, loads of drama and is the comeback movie for a SISSY SPACEK. Despite that it remains an unlikely nomination Best Picture winner - it lacks the scope of 'A Beautiful Mind' or 'Lord Of The Rings' and Academy voters may balk at giving their highest honour to a newcomer. ROBERT ALTMAN'S 'Gosford Park' has been on a journey in the opposite direction. Heaped with praise on its release the combination murder mystery and master/servant satire, set at a 1930s English estate, seemed likely to sweep the board. A period piece that cleverly uses most of Britain's best actors and actresses, it's recognised as funny, well made and fascinating, and represented Altman's third comeback for the 80 year old director. Altman - who made the classic war satire 'M*A*S*H' - is America's very own European film maker, yet he's never won anything from the Academy and the thought of heaping him with gongs before he goes to the great Hollywood in the sky gave voters a warm fuzzy feeling. But that was all before he apparently told a British newspaper he was ashamed to be American, would rather live in Britain and gave up alcohol for cannabis. Big, major, HUGE Oscar no-no. Being the main subject of vitriol on America's right-wing talkshows is unlikely to lead to Oscar success. Emma Cochrane explains:"Up until recently I would have said Robert Altman was a sure bet but now there are lots of quotes coming out now coming out about the un-American things that he has said in his career and there has been a bit of a hate campaign against him so that will be interesting to see if that affects the voting." And so to 'A Beautiful Mind' the clear front runner nominated for Best Picture and Director, and pretty much everything else, for obvious reasons. Its clear, uplifting story about a mentally ill genius who is redeemed by love is almost a write-your-own-Oscar-invitation and Ron Howard, along with best actor Russell Crowe and Best Supporting Actress Jennifer Connelly, are widely expected to walk off with everything worth having. Emma Cochrane is surprised: "'A Beautiful Mind' seems likely to walk it really, it's winning everything. I am amazed because I think that it is quite an average movie, I am really surprised at the way that they academy have taken it board. It is the traditional handicapped man triumphing over adversity and they like that and they like voting for that. It's a story that they like to see and it has a feelgood ending and given the year that we have it is a hopeful film." But can it hold off the populist appeal of 'The Lord Of The Rings', also nominated for both Best Picture and Best Director? Director Peter Jackson went from relatively obscure New Zealand fright-film director to steward of a monumental movie project. After cutting his teeth on splatter films about aliens and zombies, Jackson spent years lobbying to bring J.R.R. Tolkien's epic fantasy tale of hobbits, elves and wizards to the screen. His vision finally clicked with New Line Cinema, which took the unprecedented gamble of fronting nearly $300 million to shoot all three instalments of the trilogy simultaneously. He was previously known for the horror cult classic 'The Frighteners' and the visually inventive murder-conspiracy tale 'Heavenly Creatures'. Now, chapter one of Jackson's Tolkien adaptation leads the field with 13 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Adapted Screenplay and Supporting Actor (Ian McKellen). And the movie is climbing toward $300 million in ticket sales domestically. However, Cochrane points out that it might count for nothing: "In terms of popular... in terms of the best film of the year I think 'Lord Of The Rings' is the best film of the year but that doesn't mean that it is going to win. It's very difficult for people to vote for films that they just like you have to think is this award winning. What people think is award winning, particularly because the Academy is old, is not necessarily the popular film." But that doesn't bother Jackson: "The unusual thing with the Oscars is that to be nominated is almost as good as winning, they have such a status that to be an Academy Award nominee has a certain weight of its own accord despite whoever happens to win the awards in the end."

5534 DNC NATIONAL CONVENTION MILWAUKEE WI POOL HEAD ON 08182020 220000 2020 GAVELING IN Night two began with a Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett wielding the gavel in the eveningâ?Ts call to order, praising party leadership for holding the convention virtually. Barrett drew, as he has multiple times since Bidenâ?Ts announcement that he would not appear in person, a distinction between how Democrats have addressed public health concerns compared to President Trump: (20:49:53) And as much as we would have loved to host you in person, I am proud that the Democratic Party and the city Milwaukee have made the health of our residents our number one priority. Unlike the president, we've never called COVID-19, a hoax. Unlike the president. we've never made fun of face masks. And unlike the president. We've never belittled, our public health experts. We understand why we can't be together this week, and I hope you do too. A DIVERSE KEYNOTE Following brief reports from several DNC committee co-chairs, the second night began in earnest with a pre-recorded keynote address video titled â?oWe Step Up to Lead.â?? Billed as a â?obellwether for the future of our party and our nationâ?? by the DNC. The stated theme of the address was â?oLeadership Matters,â?? but the subtext was ostensibly â?orepresentation mattersâ?? -- with appearances from a diverse, young group of lawmakers and political figures, including Tennessee State Senator Raumesh Akbari, Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez, Georgia State Rep. Sam Park, Nevada State Sen. Yvanna Cancela, Pennsylvania State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta, and Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin. (More on the myriad communities they represent - Black, LGBTQ, Native American, Latinx, Asian, college students - here) The most well-known speaker in the keynote video was former Georgia Secretary of State, 2018 gubernatorial candidate and voting rights activist Stacey Abrams -- who, along with the other speakers, touted Biden as the candidate to help steer the country out of the compounded crises of a pandemic, economic downturn, and reckoning with racism: (211215) ...Our choice is clear. A steady experienced public servant who can lead us out of this crisis just like he's done before or a man who only knows how to deny and distract. A leader who cares about our families or a president who only cares about himself. We know Joe Biden. America, we need Joe Biden. (211244) In a democracy, we do not elect saviors, we cast our ballots for those who see our struggles and pledge to serve. Who hear our dreams and work to make them real. Who defend our way of life by protecting our right to vote. Faced with a president of cowardice, Joe Biden is a man of proven courage. He will restore our moral compass by confronting our challenges, not by hiding from them or undermining our elections to keep his job. Singer and actor Tracee Ellis Ross is tossing to and from tonightâ?Ts addresses. Following the keynote, she highlighted Sen. Kamala Harrisâ?T historic position as a Black and Indian woman at the top of the ticket, invoking the name of other Black politicians before her: (211502) Hello, Kamala. Her nomination is historic, for anyone who believes in â?owe the people.â?? Like senator Harris and many we saw in the keynote, today's leaders emerge from communities that have long been underrepresented. They're charting new paths in the spirit of Shirley Chisolm, Charlotta Bass, Fanny Lou Hamer, and John Lewis. They get in good trouble. Necessary trouble. They call things out, otherwise ignored, elevating our nation, and changing the course of our lives for the better. Ross introduced former Acting U.S. Attorney General Sally Yates -- who left in the early days of the Trump Administration after refusing to enforce his ban on travelers from majority-Muslim countries. Yates called the ban â?othe start of his relentless attacks on our democratic institutionsâ?"and countless dedicated public servants.â?? Yates went on to rebuke Trumpâ?Ts friendly relationship with Russian president Vladimir Putin, contrasting it with his adversarial relationship with the U.S. intelligence community: (211847) Heâ?Ts trampled the rule of law, trying to weaponize our Justice Department to attack his enemies and protect his friends. Rather than standing up to Vladimir Putin, he fawns over a dictator whoâ?Ts still trying to interfere in our elections. (211856) Heâ?Ts even trying to sabotage our postal service to keep people from being able to vote. His constant attacksâ?"on the FBI, the free press, inspectors general, military officers, and federal judgesâ?"they all have one purpose: to remove any check on his abuse of power. Put simply, he treats our country like itâ?Ts his family businessâ?"this time bankrupting our nationâ?Ts moral authority at home and abroad. CHUCK SCHUMER Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, with a blurry image of the Statue of Liberty in the distance, evoked the statueâ?Ts famous New Colossus poem as well as the quote from President Trump that former first lady Michelle Obama blasted last night on the pandemic response: â?oIt is what it is.â?? Schumer also highlighted the importance of Democrats flipping the Senate this fall, pledging unity among the chamberâ?Ts more progressive and moderate figures: (212211) Millions are jobless. 170,000 Americans have died from covid. And Donald Trump says it is what it is. Presidents should never say it is what it is. President Lincoln, honoring the great sacrifice at Gettysburg didn't say it is what it is. President Roosevelt seeing a third of the nation ill housed, ill clad and ill nourished didn't say it is what it is. America, Donald Trump has quit on you. We need a president with the dignity, integrity, and the experience to lead us out of this crisis. (212300) If we're going to win this battle for the soul of our nation, Joe can't do it alone. Democrats must take back the senate. We will stay united from Sanders and Warren, to Manchin and Warner and with our unity we will bring bold and dramatic change to our country. FORMER PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER (AND THE KENNEDYS) Remarks from Caroline Kennedy and her son Jack Schlossberg came after Schumer (212513), followed by off-camera remarks from former President Jimmy Carter and former First Lady Rosalynn Carter (212712 - all covered by photos). In both videos, the Kennedys and the Carters never mentioned Trump by name -- instead, testifying to their personal relationships with Biden. Jimmy Carterâ?Ts remarks on Bidenâ?Ts character (with, perhaps, contrasts to Trumpâ?Ts character and COVID-19 response implied): JIMMY CARTER: (212840) Joe has the experience, character, and decency to bring us together and restore Americaâ?Ts greatness. We deserve a person with integrity and judgment, someone who is honest and fair, someone who is committed to what is best for the American people. Joe is that kind of leader, and he is the right person for this moment in our nationâ?Ts history. He understands that honesty and dignity are essential traits that determine not only our vision but our actions. More than ever, thatâ?Ts what we need. During these uncertain times, Joe Biden realizes that many American lives can be saved each day with the use of masks and testing, as recommended by our medical experts. BILL CLINTON Remarks taking direct aim at Trump returned with former President Bill Clintonâ?Ts remarks, who, notably, was given several minutes to speak (compared to longer remarks in conventions past). BILL CLINTON: (213056) At a time like this, the oval office should be a command center. Instead, it's a storm center. There's only chaos. Just -- one thing never changes -- his determination to deny responsibility and shift the blame. (213111) The buck never stops there. Now, you have to decide whether to renew his contract or hire someone else. If you want a president who defines the job as spending hours a day watching TV and zapping people on social media, he's your man. Denying, distracting and demeaning works great if you're trying to entertain or inflame, but in a real crisis, it collapses like a house of cards. (213358) And this job interview, the difference is stark. You know what Donald Trump will do with four more years, blame, bully and belittle. And you know what Joe Biden will do, build back better. It's Trump's â?ous versus themâ?? America against Joe Biden's America. Where we all live and work together. It's a clear choice. The future of our country is riding on it. AOC. BOB KING, AND CONFUSION OVER NOMINATIONS FOR SANDERS Tracee Ellis Ross offered condolences and support for Iowa residents rocked by severe weather before introducing DNC Chair Tom Perez, who spoke from Milwaukee. In a clear appeal to the progressive wing of the party, Perez touted the Progressive Movementâ?Ts â?odeep roots) in Milwaukee (213602). This is where some things apparently got confusing enough for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to later clarify her support for Biden -- Perez and Rep. Bennie Thompson teed up the nominating and seconding speeches from Reps. Bob King and Ocasio-Cortez for Sen. Bernie Sanders for the purposes of the roll call. In the one minute each of the representatives were allotted, they did just that: BOB KING: (213921) I'm excited to place into nomination the name of a great champion of the working class, Senator Bernie Sanders. ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ: (214003) A movement striving to recognize and repair the wounds of racial injustice, colonization, misogyny and homophobia. And to propose and build reimagined systems of immigration and foreign policy that turn away from the violence and xenophobia of our past. A movement that realizes the unsustainable brutality of an economy that rewards explosive inequalities of wealth for the few, at the expense of long term stability for the many. (214038) And who organized a historic grassroots campaign to reclaim our democracy. In a time when millions of people in the United States are looking for deep systemic solutions to our crisis of mass evictions, unemployment, and lack of health care, and espíritu del pueblo, and out of a love for all people, I hear by second the nomination of Senator Bernard Sanders of Vermont for president of the United States of America. ROLL CALL WITH FORMER PRESIDENTIAL CONTENDERS & BIDENâ?TS BRIEF THANK-YOU The nominating and seconding speeches for Joe Biden were given by Delaware lawmakers, Sen. Chris Coons (214238) and Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester (214344) -- followed by the socially-distanced roll call, in a unique sequence visiting all 57 U.S. states and territories to officially nominate Biden as the partyâ?Ts nominee for president (see Karson/Scanlan 10:19pm DL note for details). The roll call included some of Bidenâ?Ts former primary opponents and leaders who have risen to prominence as protests for racial equality have swept the nation this summer: Rep. Terri Sewell began by invoking the legacy of the late Rep. John Lewis in announcing Alabamaâ?Ts delegates for Sanders and Biden (214530). DC Mayor Muriel Bowser made an appeal for DC statehood (215029). Former South Bend Mayor and presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg spoke of Bidenâ?Ts economic recovery goals, particularly for Indianaâ?Ts agricultural sector (215409). Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar spoke of healing the nationâ?Ts divides, and shared her roll call duties briefly with Melvin Carter -- mayor of St. Paul, which dealt with some of the more-immediate protests and unrest after George Floyd was killed in May. (215851) After the roll call wrapped, Joe Biden appeared with his family, flanked by balloons and bookshelves. He seemed to have a brief delay, staring silently for awkward beat, before placing his hand over his heart and expressing his gratitude for all of the delegates: JOE BIDEN: (221942) Well, thank you very, very much, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you all. It means the world to me and my family, and Iâ?Tll see you on Thursday. Thank you, thank you, thank you. As noted by Kendall and Quinn, Biden officially accepts the nomination Thursday. ADY BARKAN Clips featuring various voices, including Joe Biden himself, promoted health care priorities for about 12 minutes after the roll call and subsequent applause for Bidenâ?Ts nomination wrapped up. One address came from activist Ady Barkan, lawyer and progressive activist, who talked about the ALS diagnosis thatâ?Ts left him paralyzed and blasted Trump and the GOPâ?Ts efforts to gut the Affordable Care Act. In moving remarks, Barkan implored supporters to get out the vote, and alluded to his staunch support for Medicare For All -- and wanting to put legislation on Bidenâ?Ts desk to that end: ADY BARKAN: (223139) We live in the richest country in history and yet we do not guarantee this most basic human right. Everyone living in America should get the healthcare they need regardless of their employment status or ability to pay. Even during this terrible crisis, Donald Trump and Republican politicians are trying to take away millions of peoples health insurance. With the existential threat of another four years of this president, we all have a profound obligation to act. (223206) Not only to vote, but to make sure that our friends, family and neighbors vote as well. We must elect Joe Biden. Each of us must be a hero for the communities, for our country. And then with a compassionate and intelligent president we must act together and put on his desk a bill that guarantees us all the healthcare we deserve. JOHN KERRY & COLIN POWELL Pitches for Bidenâ?Ts foreign policy platform were flanked by a bipartisan paring of former Secretaries of State John Kerry and Colin Powell -- the latterâ?Ts appearance, officially announced and confirmed earlier this evening. Kerry did not give Trump any credit for a stronger economy at the beginning of his term and ridiculed Trumpâ?Ts appearances on the world stage as a â?oblooper reelâ??: JOHN KERRY: (222304) Donald Trump inherited a growing economy and a more peaceful world. Like everything else he inherited he bankrupted it. When this president goes overseas, it isnâ?Tt a good will mission, it's a blooper reel. He breaks up with our allies and writes love letters to dictators. America deserves a president who is looked up to not laughed at. (223547) This is the bottom line: our interests, our ideals and our brave men and women in uniform can't afford four more years of Donald Trump. Our troops can't get out of harm's way by hiding in the white house bunker. They need a president who will stand up for them. And president Biden will. Colin Powellâ?Ts remarks (224054) focused more on his immigrant heritage and his shared values with Biden -- taking no direct shots at Trump until the end of his remarks, casting the president as someone doing â?oeverything in his powerâ?? to divide the nation: COLIN POWELL: (224126) The values I learned growing up in the South Bronx and serving in uniform were the same values that Joe Bidenâ?Ts parents instilled in him in Scranton, Pennsylvania. I support Joe Biden for the presidency of the United States because those values still define him, and we need to restore those values to the White House. Our country needs a commander in chief who takes care of troops in the same way he would his own family. (224151) For Joe Biden, that doesn't need teaching. It comes from experience that he shares with millions of military families -- sending his beloved son off to war, and praying to god he would come home safe. (224258) Today, we are a country divided. And we have a president doing everything in his power to make it that way, and keep us that way. What a difference it will make to have a president who unites us, who restores our strength and our soul. I still believe that in our hearts we are the same America that brought my parents to our shores. An America that inspires freedom around the world. That's the America Joe Biden will lead as our next president. Jill Biden ended the night with a positive message from Brandywine High School in Wilmington, making the case for her husband-- not mentioning the president by name (instead issuing a call for leadership)-- but highlighting what Democrats see as his failures as families across America struggle with job losses, health care crises and an economic downturn amid the coronavirus pandemic. JILL BIDEN: (225935) We're coming together and holding onto each other. We're finding mercy and grace in the moments we might have once taken for granted. We're seeing that our differences are precious, and our similarities infinite. We have shown that the heart of this nation still beats with kindness and courage. That's the soul of America Joe Biden is fighting for now. She told America the story of her relationship with Biden and their family, the loss of their son Beau to cancer and how Biden returned to work to continue fighting for American families. JILL BIDEN: (230010) After our son Beau died of cancer, I wondered if I would ever smile or feel joy again. It was summer, but there was no warmth left for me. Four days after Beau's funeral, I watched Joe shave and put on his suit. I saw him steel himself in the mirror, take a breath, put his shoulders back, and walk out into a world empty of our son. He went back to work. (230046) That's just who he is. There are times when I couldn't even imagine how he did it. How he put one foot in front of the other and kept going. But I've always understood why he did it -- for the daughter who convinces her mom to finally get a breast cancer screening and misses work to drive her to the clinic. For the community college student who has faced homelessness and survived abuse but finds the grit to finish her degree and make a good life for her kids. Her only venture toward the president was in the midst of a call to leadership â?oworthy of our nation.â?? JILL BIDEN: (230238) Across this country, educators, parents, first responders, Americans of all walks of life are putting their shoulders back, fighting for each other. We haven't given up. We just need leadership worthy of our nation -- worthy of you. Honest leadership to bring us back together, to recover from this pandemic and prepare for whatever else is next. 230309 Leadership to reimagine what our nation will be, that's Joe. He and Kamala will work as hard as you do everyday to make this nation better. And if I have the honor of serving as your First Lady, I will, too. And with Joe as President, these classrooms will ring out with laughter and possibility once again. 230340 The burdens we carry are heavy, and we need someone with strong shoulders. I know that if we entrust this nation to Joe, he will do for your family what he did for ours -- bring us together and make us whole, carry us forward in our time of need, keep the promise of America for all of us. ########### â?oMAY 2018â??

My name is Ady Barkan and I'm speaking to you through this computer voice because I have been paralyzed by a mysterious illness called ALS. Like so many of you, I have experienced the ways our healthcare system is fundamentally broken. Enormous costs, denied claims, dehumanizing treatment when we're most in need. Since my shocking diagnosis, I have traveled the country meeting countless patients like me demanding more of our representatives and our democracy. 223110 Today, we are witnessing the tragic consequences of our failing healthcare system. In the midst of a pandemic, nearly 100 million Americans do not have sufficient health insurance. And even good insurance does not cover essential needs like long term care. Our loved ones are dying in unsafe nursing homes. Our nurses are overwhelmed and unprotected. And our essential workers are treated as dispensable. 223139 We live in the richest country in history and yet we do not guarantee this most basic human right. Everyone living in America should get the healthcare they need regardless of their employment status or ability to pay. Even during this terrible crisis, Donald Trump and Republican politicians are trying to take away millions of peoples health insurance.

Please go to joebiden.com and chip in whatever you can. With leaders like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, we can build back better here at home. And once again strengthen our nations security and standing in the world. VETERAN FOR JOE VIDEO 223332 GILLIARD>> My name is Demarcus Gilliard. I'm 34 years old, and I currently live in Los Angeles, California. I'm a 2009 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Innapolis, and I served on active duty in the marine corps as an officer for six years. I took an oath to support, uphold and defend the constitution of the United States of America, and I know that Joe Biden, in his years of public service, took a similar oath and he understands the sacrifice of the men and women in uniform who are overseas right now, fighting for the ideals of this nation. 223407 That liberty and justice can be extended to all people. I know that Joe Biden understands that at his core. I trust him to lead us on Day One into a greater future. There's nothing more important for me right now than making sure that we restore the soul of the nation. And I think that Joe Biden is the best person to do that. So thanks, Joe. JOHN KERRY 223447 KERRY>>Hi, I'm John Kerry.. For the eight years of the Obama Biden administration we led by example. We eliminated the threat of Iran with a nuclear weapon. We built a 68 nation coalition to destroy ISIS. We forged 195 nation agreement to attack climate change. 223504 We stopped ebola before it became a pandemic.Donald Trump inherited a growing economy and a more peaceful world. Like everything else he inherited he bankrupted it. When this president goes overseas, it isnâ?Tt a good will mission, it's a blooper reel. He breaks up with our allies and writes love letters to dictators. America deserves a president who is looked up to not laughed at. 223530 Donald Trump pretends Russia didn't attack our elections and now he does nothing about Russia putting a bounty on our troops. So he won't defend our country, he doesn't know how to defend our troops. The only person he's interested in defending is himself. 223547 This is the bottom line: our interests, our ideals and our brave men and women in uniform can't afford four more years of Donald Trump. Our troops can't get out of harm's way by hiding in the white house bunker. They need a president who will stand up for them. And president Biden will. 223606 Joe's moral compass is always pointed in the right direction. From the fight to break the back of apartheid to the struggle to wake up the world to genocide in Balkans, Joe understands that none of the issues of this world -- not nuclear weapons, not the challenge of building back better after covid-19, not terrorism and certainly not the climate crisis -- none can be resolved without bringing nations together with strength and humility. 223635 Joe understands our values don't limit our power, they magnify it. He knows you can't spread democracy around the world if you don't practice it at home, and he knows that even the united States of America needs friends on this planet. Before Donald Trump, we used to talk about American exceptionalism. The only thing exceptional about the incoherent Trump foreign policy is that it has made our nation more isolated than ever before. 223704 Joe Biden knows we aren't exceptional because we bluster that we are, we are exceptional because we do exceptional things. On June 6th, 1944, young Americans gave their lives on the beaches of Normandy to liberate the world from tyranny. Out of the ashes of that war, we made peace and rebuilt the world. That was and remains exceptional. It is the opposite of everything Donald Trump stands for. 223736 This moment is a fight for the security of America and the world. Only Joe Biden can make America lead like America again. If you agree, text JOIN to 30330. Thank you. BIDEN FOREIGN POLICY VIDEO 223756 BRETT MCGURK>> In the situation room, presidents make decisions of war and peace. So when Joe Biden walks into the Situation Room, first and foremost in his mind is how will my decision impact the lives of the American people? MARIE YOVANOVITCH>> He is experienced. He has made the tough calls. CHUCK HAGEL>> Heâ?Ts got courage. Heâ?Ts got tremendous courage, character, judgment and he can be tough. I witnessed it close up. LINDA THOMAS-GREENFIELD>> Joe Biden is decisive and well prepared for any issue. 223824 >> There's no one more qualified than Joe Biden to be sitting at the head of the table in the situation room making decisions for this country. >>Having sent his son to war, I don't think anyone can be more ready than vice president Biden. 223838 JACK WEINSTEIN (ON VIDEO)>> He knows exactly what's at stake when he sends our troops overseas. ROSE GOTTEMOELLER (ON VIDEO)>> Biden understands how important it is to have allies standing together with us. They are force multipliers. 223849 >> Joe Biden has the unique ability to connect with people. He knows the leaders and heâ?Ts dealt with them for years, knows what makes them tick. >> They trust him, they trust his judgment and they know that his word is good. TOM COUNTRYMAN (ON VIDEO)>> I know that Bidenâ?Ts personal diplomacy will save American lives. 223903 >> To build these relationships takes decades. And to tear them down, all it takes is a tweet. COUNTRYMAN (ON VIDEO)>> Thanks to Donald Trump our adversaries are stronger and bolder. >> Donald Trump has had a love fest with dictators including China and Russia. He hasn't been standing up to them at all. 223920 JACK WEINSTEIN (ON VIDEO)>> I served in the United States air force for 36 years. Iâ?Tve led space squadrons, nuclear missile squadrons and I never thought I would have a president who is a danger to national security. >> President Trump has degraded and debased the presidency and our country in the eyes of the world. JACK WEINSTEIN (ON VIDEO)>> The Russians offered bounties on U.S. Soldiers. I was shocked when I read that but the president didn't even ask Vladimir Putin about it. That's un-american. >> There's something wrong with that. I mean, thatâ?Ts a dereliction of duty. You're failing the troops. Youâ?Tre failing this country. JACK WEINSTEIN (ON VIDEO)>> The first thing a president needs to do is find out what the facts are. This president doesn't care about facts. 223956 >> Biden cares about the safety and welfare of American servicemen and women. >> Our military had a policy to maintain our presence in Syria. We actually came to the aid of the kurds against ISIS and we helped stop the advance. President trump told us to simply abandon the Kurds. Shameful. >> Joe Biden will be strong against dictators. >> I have heard him on the phone with some pretty tough characters. You know, you talk about Joe Bidenâ?Ts empathy, his decency. But Joe Biden is tough as nails and everybody knows it. >> He will do the right thing. No matter the political cost. 224030 >> I have served for two Republican presidents and one Democratic President. I have seen the trump administration make decisions without any thought. Without any preparation that had massive life and death consequences. >> At one of the most defining times in the history of the world Joe Biden is uniquely qualified to be president of the United States. JACK WEINSTEIN (ON VIDEO)>> If you want a strong America you want Joe Biden. COLIN POWELL 224054 POWELL>> Hi, I'm former secretary of state Colin Powell. 100 years ago, a young immigrant left a dirt farm in Jamaica and set out for America. Three years later, a ship pulled into New York Harbor, and a young Jamaican woman gazed up at the statue of liberty for the first time. They became my parents, and they inspired me to finish college and join the army. This began a journey of service that would take me from basic training to combat in Vietnam, up the ranks to serve as chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and secretary of state. 224126 The values I learned growing up in the South Bronx and serving in uniform were the same values that Joe Bidenâ?Ts parents instilled in him in Scranton, Pennsylvania. I support Joe Biden for the presidency of the United States because those values still define him, and we need to restore those values to the White House. Our country needs a commander in chief who takes care of troops in the same way he would his own family. 224151 For Joe Biden, that doesn't need teaching. It comes from experience that he shares with millions of military families -- sending his beloved son off to war, and praying to god he would come home safe. Joe Biden will be a president we will all be proud to salute. With Joe Biden in the white house, you will never doubt that he will stand with our friends and stand up to our adversaries. Never the other way around. 224216 He will trust our diplomats and our intelligence community -- not the flattery of dictators and despots. He will make it his job to know when anyone dares to threaten us. He will stand up to our adversaries with strength and experience. They will know he means business. 224232 I support Joe Biden because beginning on day one, he will restore Americaâ?Ts leadership and our moral authority. He'll be a president who knows that America is strongest when, as he has said, we lead both by the power of our example and the example of our power. He'll restore America's leadership in the world. And restore the alliances we need to address the dangers that threaten our nation, from climate change to nuclear proliferation. 224258 Today, we are a country divided. And we have a president doing everything in his power to make it that way, and keep us that way. What a difference it will make to have a president who unites us, who restores our strength and our soul. I still believe that in our hearts we are the same America that brought my parents to our shores. An America that inspires freedom around the world. That's the America Joe Biden will lead as our next president. Thank you, very much. [â?oAN UNLIKELY FRIENDSHIPâ?? VIDEO] 224327 >> It was a friendship that shouldn't have worked. John, a former Navy pilot just released from a north Vietnamese prison. Joe, a young senator from Delaware. But in the 1970s Joe was assigned a military aid for a trip overseas. JOHN MCCAIN (ON VIDEO) >> I was the Navy senate liaison and used to carry your bags on overseas trips. 224359 BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> This son of a gun never carried my bags. He was supposed to carry my bags, dammit, but henever carried my bags. 224410 >> John and Joe traveled thousands of miles together. The families got to know each other. Gathering for picnics in the Bidenâ?Ts backyard. CINDY MCCAIN (VO)>> They would just sit and joke. It was like a comedy show sometimes to watch the two of them. >> But when John was elected to the senate as a Republican from Arizona, they found themselves on opposing sides. JOHN MCCAIN (VO)>> We're in different parties. We hold different views on many issues. TED KAUFMAN (VO)>> Theyâ?Td be going at it on the floor and youâ?Td think oh these guys must really, really, really dislike each other. And theyâ?Td be having dinner that night together. >> Senator Biden had great respect for the institution of the senate. He built relationships that were cordial, that were personal. 224458 BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> We have always been willing, when we thought the other guy was right, to cross the aisle and lock arms. It's good for the country. RON KLAIN (VO)>> It takes trust to get things done in a divided government. And I think with Joe Biden, his colleagues knew that your points were equally valid to him. >> Even if a deal seemed out of reach, it was always Joe who tried to cross the aisle. >> He was like a natural for that. He just had an ability to find the common ground but never give up your principles. 224532 >> For three decades, Joe was able to move his colleagues, and find a way forward on Violence against women, banning chemical weapons, assault weapons, and controlling nuclear arms. CINDY MCCLAIN (VO)>> It was a style of legislating and leadership that you don't find much anymore. >> And when millions of Americans were faced with losing their health insurance, it was Joe's friend who saved Obamacare by crossing the aisle. 224603 BROADCAST (VO)>> McCain cast his vote with a thumbs down. BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> John and I have been given several awards about bipartisan. We don't understand why we should get an award for bipartisan. MCCAIN (ON VIDEO)>> Thank you for your example. I'm proud you remain the same good guy that you were when you first got here. Most of all, for your friendship. My life and the lives of many have been enriched by it. JILL & JOE ORIGIN STORY VIDEO 224635 [BIDEN AND JILL KISS IN THEIR HOME] 224642 JILL BIDEN>> I have a rule that I never think of anything negative when I'm running. When I set my mind to something, I find a way to get it done. JOE BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> She is so damn tough and loyal. When I met Jill, I knew. My brother said â?othere's this woman, you'll really like her, Joe.â?? So I gave her a call. And she had a date that night. JILL BIDEN>> You said, â?odo you think you can break your date?â?? JOE BIDEN>> Oh, that's right. And what'd you do? 224716 JILL BIDEN>> Well, I called and told the guy that I had a friend in from out of town. And went out with Joe. JOE BIDEN>> I was 30 and I was a senator, and I was a widower. Several years earlier, a tractor trailer broadsided my wife and three children. My wife was killed and my daughter was killed. I wasnâ?Tt big on the whole date scene thing. 224744 But when I met Jill, I fell in love with her when I saw her. JILL BIDEN>> He said â?oI'd really like to see you again.â?? So, he's looking at his calendar and heâ?Ts -- â?oThursday, no. No, I'm really busy. No, I'm busy Friday. How about tomorrow?â?? [Joe laughs] And I thought, â?oBuddy, you just blew your cover.â?? JOE BIDEN>> She's owned me since then. 224812 JOE BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> The boys fell in love with Jill too. I'm brushing my teeth one morning and they came running in, and Beau and Hunger said â?oDad, we think it's time we married Jill.â?? Swear to god. I asked her to marry me five times. JILL BIDEN>> It wasn't just my heart that was on the line. I loved the boys so much. I had to be sure that it had to be forever. JOE BIDEN>> I'm going to ask you one more time, will you marry me? She goes like this, â?oOkay.â?? [laughing] 222846 JOE BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> She put us back together. She gave me back my life. She gave us back a family. We were raised with the same values. 224902 JILL BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> I grew up in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, right outside of philly. My mom was English Scottish. And my dad was Italian. My grandmother made the homemade noodles that would hang, you know, and sheâ?Td be drying her noodles. BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> They were a very close family. Sheâ?Ts the eldest of five girls. >> She's kind of like the god mother of all of us. 224930 >> I think we've all seen the feistiness in her. >> There was a bully in my school, she marched up the street and knocked on his door -- JILL BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>>-- And I punched him right in the face. 224943 My father fought in World War II. He was a signalman in the Navy. And he was very patriotic. He would take us to watch the blue angels and he was so proud. We worshipped our mother. I can picture her so well, reading for hours. She just loved to read, and that had a great influence on me. I went to college at the university of Delaware. 225011 Then I taught in high schools. I mean, I got up every single day so excited to go teach. When I married Joe, I took off time to establish myself as the boys' mom. We don't use the term stepmother. 225028 JOE BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> Beau and Hunter said, we have a mom and a mommy. Our mommy died. This is our mom. Then along came Ashley, and -- JILL BIDEN (ON VIDEO) >> Our family was complete. JOE BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> Yep. ASHLEY BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> When I was growing up, mom was fun. The head butting started when I was a teenager. There were some conflicts. She dealt with it by taking up running. She started to basically run marathons âTª raised on promises âTª 225105 JOE BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> I never ever doubted that anything she set her mind to she could do. I got to hand her her doctorate degree in education at the University of Delaware. JILL BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> Let's turn it positive so you will pass it. NAOMI BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> I would say she's not your average grandmother. NATALIE BIDEN (ON VIDEO) >> Yeah. NAOMI BIDEN (ON VIDEO) >> She's the grandmother who wakes you up like, what was it? Like 5:00 A.M. On Christmas eve to go soul cycling. NATALIE BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> Yeah. We have a lot of stories. NAOMI BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> Yeah, she's a prankster. Sheâ?Ts very mischievous. Like When she goes on a run, sometimes she'll find a dead snake and sheâ?Tll pick it up and put it in a bag and sheâ?Tll use it to scare someone. 225148 AMB. CATHY RUSSELL (ON VIDEO)>> That's a classic Jill. She wasn't really a Washington person and I don't think ever imagined herself being part of that. JILL BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> When Joe was elected to vice president, I just thought, hey, I got to step it up here, because there are things that I really care about. Having had a father in the military, having a son deployed in Iraq, I saw the need to support military families. 225218 ASHLEY WILLIAMS (ON VIDEO)>> Dr. Biden could draw anyone in, and they felt like they were talking to an old friend. That is one of her superpowers. AMB. CATHY RUSSELL (ON VIDEO)>> When she was second lady, Jill told me that she would like to continue teaching at community college, and I said, that's insane, you cannot possibly do that. JILL BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> I said, I know I can do both jobs. AMB. CATHY RUSSELL (ON VIDEO)>> I never saw her on any day of the week where she wasn't carrying a huge stack of papers to grade. JOE BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> As second lady she was teaching full-time for eight years, 15 credits a semester. 225256 JILL BIDEN (ON VIDEO>> These were students who wanted to be in your classroom, and I saw their tenacity. And they were taking care of children, just like I had done. YVETTE LEWIS (ON VIDEO)>> She gave 100% of her energy to the students. She's a great teacher. JOE BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> Teaching is not what Jill does. It's who she is. Jill just simply cares. She cares about other people. 225320 JILL BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> When beau was diagnosed with brain cancer, nobody knew what we were going through. The secret service, you know, they're not supposed to react to your life or what you're doing. They would whisper, I'm praying for you. HUNTER BIDEON (ON VIDEO)>> Mom, it's your strength that holds this family together. And I know that you will make us whole again. 225353 JILL BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> You never stop grieving, ever. But you do have to find purpose. JILL BIDEN (AT CAMPAIGN EVENT)>> Please welcome my husband, Joe Biden! JILL BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> Running for president is too tough to not be together. 225411 >> The future first lady of the United States. >> That's right. There you go. >> If Dr. Biden is our first lady, the country will be getting one of the best humans that we have. 225424 >> She has been through some really tough things in her own life, and she knows how hard it can be. JOE BIDNE (ON VIDEO)>> The American people in their heart know that she'll fight like hell for them. JILL BIDEN (VO)>> We all need community. We need to depend on others for our strength. All American families, we all need each other. 225452 >>> And now, please welcome Dr. Jill Biden. JILL BIDEN 225505 JILL BIDEN>> I have always loved the sounds of a classroom. The quiet that sparks with possibility just before students shuffle in. The murmur of ideas bouncing back and forth as we explore the world together. The laughter and tiny moments of surprise you find in materials you've taught a million times. 225528 When I taught English here at brandywine high school, I would spend my summer preparing for the school year about to start, filled with anticipation. But this quiet is heavy. You can hear the anxiety that echoes down empty hallways. There's no scent of new notebooks or freshly waxed floors. 225555 The rooms are dark as the bright young faces that should fill them are now confined to boxes on a computer screen. I hear it from so many of you: the frustration of parents juggling work while they support their children's learning are afraid that their kids might get sick from school. 225619 The concern of every person working without enough protection. The despair in the lines that stretch out before food banks. And the indescribable sorrow that follows every lonely last breath when the ventilators turn off. 225641 As a mother and a grandmother, as an American, I am heartbroken by the magnitude of this loss, by the failure to protect our communities, by every precious and irreplaceable life gone. Like so many of you, Iâ?Tm left asking, â?ohow do I keep my family safe?â?? You know, motherhood came to me in a way I never expected. 225713 I fell in love with a man and two little boys standing in the wreckage of unthinkable loss, mourning a wife and mother, a daughter and sister. I never imagined, at the age of 26, I would be asking myself, â?ohow do you make a broken family whole?â?? Still, Joe always told the boys, â?omommy sent Jill to us. And how could I argue with her?â?? 225746 And so, we figured it out together. In those big moments that would go by too fast -- Thanksgivings and state championships, birthdays and weddings -- in the mundane ones that we didn't even know for shaping our lives -- reading stories piled on the couch, rowdy Sunday dinners and silly arguments, listening to the faint sounds of laughter that would float downstairs as Joe put the kids to bed every night, while I studied for grad school or graded papers under the pale yellow kitchen lamp. The dinner dishes waiting in the sink. 225829 We found that love holds a family together. Love makes us flexible and resilient. It allows us to become more than ourselves, together, and though it can't protect us from the sorrows of life, it gives us refuge -- a home. How do you make a broken family whole? The same way you make a nation whole -- with love and understanding and with small acts of kindness. 225904 With bravery, with unwavering faith. You show up for each other in big ways and small ones, again and again. It's what so many of you are doing right now for your loved ones, for complete strangers, for your communities. There are those who want to tell us that our country is hopelessly divided, that our differences are irreconcilable. But that's not what I've seen over these last few months. 225935 We're coming together and holding onto each other. We're finding mercy and grace in the moments we might have once taken for granted. We're seeing that our differences are precious, and our similarities infinite. We have shown that the heart of this nation still beats with kindness and courage. That's the soul of America Joe Biden is fighting for now. 230010 After our son Beau died of cancer, I wondered if I would ever smile or feel joy again. It was summer, but there was no warmth left for me. Four days after Beau's funeral, I watched Joe shave and put on his suit. I saw him steel himself in the mirror, take a breath, put his shoulders back, and walk out into a world empty of our son. He went back to work. 230046 That's just who he is. There are times when I couldn't even imagine how he did it. How he put one foot in front of the other and kept going. But I've always understood why he did it -- for the daughter who convinces her mom to finally get a breast cancer screening and misses work to drive her to the clinic. For the community college student who has faced homelessness and survived abuse but finds the grit to finish her degree and make a good life for her kids. 230122 For the little boy whose mom is serving as a marine in Iraq, who puts on a brave face in his video call and doesn't complain when the only thing he wants for his birthday is to be with her. For all those people, Joe gives his personal phone number to at rope lines and events. The ones he talks to for hours after dinner, helping them smile through their loss, letting them know that they arenâ?Tt alone. 230154 He does it for you. Joe's purpose has always driven him forward. His strength of will is unstoppable, and his faith is unshakable. Because it's not in politicians or political parties or even in himself -- it's in the Providence of god. His faith is in you, in us. Yes, so many classrooms are quiet right now. The playgrounds are still. But if you listen closely, you can hear the sparks of change in the air. 230238 Across this country, educators, parents, first responders, Americans of all walks of life are putting their shoulders back, fighting for each other. We haven't given up. We just need leadership worthy of our nation -- worthy of you. Honest leadership to bring us back together, to recover from this pandemic and prepare for whatever else is next. 230309 Leadership to reimagine what our nation will be, that's Joe. He and Kamala will work as hard as you do everyday to make this nation better. And if I have the honor of serving as your First Lady, I will, too. And with Joe as President, these classrooms will ring out with laughter and possibility once again. 230340 The burdens we carry are heavy, and we need someone with strong shoulders. I know that if we entrust this nation to Joe, he will do for your family what he did for ours -- bring us together and make us whole, carry us forward in our time of need, keep the promise of America for all of us. [JOE BIDEN ENTERS] 230418 JOE BIDEN>> Hey, everyone. I'm Jill Biden's husband. As you heard tonight you, excuse me, you can see why she's the love of my life and the rock of our family. She never gives herself much credit, but the truth is she's the strongest person I know. She has a backbone like a ramrod. She loves furiously, cares deeply. Nothing stops her when she sets her mind to getting something right. And you know, for all of you out there across the country, just think of your favorite educator who gave you the confidence to believe in yourself. That's the kind of first lady lady, lady, lady, this Jill Biden will be. God love you. 230457 JILL BIDEN>> So go to joebiden.com to join our campaign. JOE BIDEN>> Thank you all for watching. I'll see you soon. Thank you. [VIDEO OF SUPPORTERS CLAPPING] 230535 ROSS>> Thank you so much for being a part of this night. As Dr. Biden just reminded us, Joe is a steady and experienced leader who can bring us together and help us heal, who will support us in getting better. Remember, we bend the arc of justice if we participate -- if we vote. This moment isn't beyond you, it's up to you. Tomorrow night, we'll meet Joe Biden's choice for vice president, kamala Harris, and learn more about their vision for the future of our country. 230607 And we'll also hear from Senator Elizabeth Warren and President Barack Obama. Plus, performances from Billie Eilish and Jennifer Hudson. And now, with his song "Never Break", here's John legend. 230624 [VIDEO, JOHN LEGEND PERFORMANCE] ######

1957 UNIVERSAL NEWSREEL 1

5540 DNC NATIONAL CONVENTION MILWAUKEE WI POOL SWITCHED CLEAN 08182020 220000 2020 GAVELING IN Night two began with a Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett wielding the gavel in the eveningâ?Ts call to order, praising party leadership for holding the convention virtually. Barrett drew, as he has multiple times since Bidenâ?Ts announcement that he would not appear in person, a distinction between how Democrats have addressed public health concerns compared to President Trump: (20:49:53) And as much as we would have loved to host you in person, I am proud that the Democratic Party and the city Milwaukee have made the health of our residents our number one priority. Unlike the president, we've never called COVID-19, a hoax. Unlike the president. we've never made fun of face masks. And unlike the president. We've never belittled, our public health experts. We understand why we can't be together this week, and I hope you do too. A DIVERSE KEYNOTE Following brief reports from several DNC committee co-chairs, the second night began in earnest with a pre-recorded keynote address video titled â?oWe Step Up to Lead.â?? Billed as a â?obellwether for the future of our party and our nationâ?? by the DNC. The stated theme of the address was â?oLeadership Matters,â?? but the subtext was ostensibly â?orepresentation mattersâ?? -- with appearances from a diverse, young group of lawmakers and political figures, including Tennessee State Senator Raumesh Akbari, Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez, Georgia State Rep. Sam Park, Nevada State Sen. Yvanna Cancela, Pennsylvania State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta, and Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin. (More on the myriad communities they represent - Black, LGBTQ, Native American, Latinx, Asian, college students - here) The most well-known speaker in the keynote video was former Georgia Secretary of State, 2018 gubernatorial candidate and voting rights activist Stacey Abrams -- who, along with the other speakers, touted Biden as the candidate to help steer the country out of the compounded crises of a pandemic, economic downturn, and reckoning with racism: (211215) ...Our choice is clear. A steady experienced public servant who can lead us out of this crisis just like he's done before or a man who only knows how to deny and distract. A leader who cares about our families or a president who only cares about himself. We know Joe Biden. America, we need Joe Biden. (211244) In a democracy, we do not elect saviors, we cast our ballots for those who see our struggles and pledge to serve. Who hear our dreams and work to make them real. Who defend our way of life by protecting our right to vote. Faced with a president of cowardice, Joe Biden is a man of proven courage. He will restore our moral compass by confronting our challenges, not by hiding from them or undermining our elections to keep his job. Singer and actor Tracee Ellis Ross is tossing to and from tonightâ?Ts addresses. Following the keynote, she highlighted Sen. Kamala Harrisâ?T historic position as a Black and Indian woman at the top of the ticket, invoking the name of other Black politicians before her: (211502) Hello, Kamala. Her nomination is historic, for anyone who believes in â?owe the people.â?? Like senator Harris and many we saw in the keynote, today's leaders emerge from communities that have long been underrepresented. They're charting new paths in the spirit of Shirley Chisolm, Charlotta Bass, Fanny Lou Hamer, and John Lewis. They get in good trouble. Necessary trouble. They call things out, otherwise ignored, elevating our nation, and changing the course of our lives for the better. Ross introduced former Acting U.S. Attorney General Sally Yates -- who left in the early days of the Trump Administration after refusing to enforce his ban on travelers from majority-Muslim countries. Yates called the ban â?othe start of his relentless attacks on our democratic institutionsâ?"and countless dedicated public servants.â?? Yates went on to rebuke Trumpâ?Ts friendly relationship with Russian president Vladimir Putin, contrasting it with his adversarial relationship with the U.S. intelligence community: (211847) Heâ?Ts trampled the rule of law, trying to weaponize our Justice Department to attack his enemies and protect his friends. Rather than standing up to Vladimir Putin, he fawns over a dictator whoâ?Ts still trying to interfere in our elections. (211856) Heâ?Ts even trying to sabotage our postal service to keep people from being able to vote. His constant attacksâ?"on the FBI, the free press, inspectors general, military officers, and federal judgesâ?"they all have one purpose: to remove any check on his abuse of power. Put simply, he treats our country like itâ?Ts his family businessâ?"this time bankrupting our nationâ?Ts moral authority at home and abroad. CHUCK SCHUMER Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, with a blurry image of the Statue of Liberty in the distance, evoked the statueâ?Ts famous New Colossus poem as well as the quote from President Trump that former first lady Michelle Obama blasted last night on the pandemic response: â?oIt is what it is.â?? Schumer also highlighted the importance of Democrats flipping the Senate this fall, pledging unity among the chamberâ?Ts more progressive and moderate figures: (212211) Millions are jobless. 170,000 Americans have died from covid. And Donald Trump says it is what it is. Presidents should never say it is what it is. President Lincoln, honoring the great sacrifice at Gettysburg didn't say it is what it is. President Roosevelt seeing a third of the nation ill housed, ill clad and ill nourished didn't say it is what it is. America, Donald Trump has quit on you. We need a president with the dignity, integrity, and the experience to lead us out of this crisis. (212300) If we're going to win this battle for the soul of our nation, Joe can't do it alone. Democrats must take back the senate. We will stay united from Sanders and Warren, to Manchin and Warner and with our unity we will bring bold and dramatic change to our country. FORMER PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER (AND THE KENNEDYS) Remarks from Caroline Kennedy and her son Jack Schlossberg came after Schumer (212513), followed by off-camera remarks from former President Jimmy Carter and former First Lady Rosalynn Carter (212712 - all covered by photos). In both videos, the Kennedys and the Carters never mentioned Trump by name -- instead, testifying to their personal relationships with Biden. Jimmy Carterâ?Ts remarks on Bidenâ?Ts character (with, perhaps, contrasts to Trumpâ?Ts character and COVID-19 response implied): JIMMY CARTER: (212840) Joe has the experience, character, and decency to bring us together and restore Americaâ?Ts greatness. We deserve a person with integrity and judgment, someone who is honest and fair, someone who is committed to what is best for the American people. Joe is that kind of leader, and he is the right person for this moment in our nationâ?Ts history. He understands that honesty and dignity are essential traits that determine not only our vision but our actions. More than ever, thatâ?Ts what we need. During these uncertain times, Joe Biden realizes that many American lives can be saved each day with the use of masks and testing, as recommended by our medical experts. BILL CLINTON Remarks taking direct aim at Trump returned with former President Bill Clintonâ?Ts remarks, who, notably, was given several minutes to speak (compared to longer remarks in conventions past). BILL CLINTON: (213056) At a time like this, the oval office should be a command center. Instead, it's a storm center. There's only chaos. Just -- one thing never changes -- his determination to deny responsibility and shift the blame. (213111) The buck never stops there. Now, you have to decide whether to renew his contract or hire someone else. If you want a president who defines the job as spending hours a day watching TV and zapping people on social media, he's your man. Denying, distracting and demeaning works great if you're trying to entertain or inflame, but in a real crisis, it collapses like a house of cards. (213358) And this job interview, the difference is stark. You know what Donald Trump will do with four more years, blame, bully and belittle. And you know what Joe Biden will do, build back better. It's Trump's â?ous versus themâ?? America against Joe Biden's America. Where we all live and work together. It's a clear choice. The future of our country is riding on it. AOC. BOB KING, AND CONFUSION OVER NOMINATIONS FOR SANDERS Tracee Ellis Ross offered condolences and support for Iowa residents rocked by severe weather before introducing DNC Chair Tom Perez, who spoke from Milwaukee. In a clear appeal to the progressive wing of the party, Perez touted the Progressive Movementâ?Ts â?odeep roots) in Milwaukee (213602). This is where some things apparently got confusing enough for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to later clarify her support for Biden -- Perez and Rep. Bennie Thompson teed up the nominating and seconding speeches from Reps. Bob King and Ocasio-Cortez for Sen. Bernie Sanders for the purposes of the roll call. In the one minute each of the representatives were allotted, they did just that: BOB KING: (213921) I'm excited to place into nomination the name of a great champion of the working class, Senator Bernie Sanders. ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ: (214003) A movement striving to recognize and repair the wounds of racial injustice, colonization, misogyny and homophobia. And to propose and build reimagined systems of immigration and foreign policy that turn away from the violence and xenophobia of our past. A movement that realizes the unsustainable brutality of an economy that rewards explosive inequalities of wealth for the few, at the expense of long term stability for the many. (214038) And who organized a historic grassroots campaign to reclaim our democracy. In a time when millions of people in the United States are looking for deep systemic solutions to our crisis of mass evictions, unemployment, and lack of health care, and espíritu del pueblo, and out of a love for all people, I hear by second the nomination of Senator Bernard Sanders of Vermont for president of the United States of America. ROLL CALL WITH FORMER PRESIDENTIAL CONTENDERS & BIDENâ?TS BRIEF THANK-YOU The nominating and seconding speeches for Joe Biden were given by Delaware lawmakers, Sen. Chris Coons (214238) and Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester (214344) -- followed by the socially-distanced roll call, in a unique sequence visiting all 57 U.S. states and territories to officially nominate Biden as the partyâ?Ts nominee for president (see Karson/Scanlan 10:19pm DL note for details). The roll call included some of Bidenâ?Ts former primary opponents and leaders who have risen to prominence as protests for racial equality have swept the nation this summer: Rep. Terri Sewell began by invoking the legacy of the late Rep. John Lewis in announcing Alabamaâ?Ts delegates for Sanders and Biden (214530). DC Mayor Muriel Bowser made an appeal for DC statehood (215029). Former South Bend Mayor and presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg spoke of Bidenâ?Ts economic recovery goals, particularly for Indianaâ?Ts agricultural sector (215409). Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar spoke of healing the nationâ?Ts divides, and shared her roll call duties briefly with Melvin Carter -- mayor of St. Paul, which dealt with some of the more-immediate protests and unrest after George Floyd was killed in May. (215851) After the roll call wrapped, Joe Biden appeared with his family, flanked by balloons and bookshelves. He seemed to have a brief delay, staring silently for awkward beat, before placing his hand over his heart and expressing his gratitude for all of the delegates: JOE BIDEN: (221942) Well, thank you very, very much, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you all. It means the world to me and my family, and Iâ?Tll see you on Thursday. Thank you, thank you, thank you. As noted by Kendall and Quinn, Biden officially accepts the nomination Thursday. ADY BARKAN Clips featuring various voices, including Joe Biden himself, promoted health care priorities for about 12 minutes after the roll call and subsequent applause for Bidenâ?Ts nomination wrapped up. One address came from activist Ady Barkan, lawyer and progressive activist, who talked about the ALS diagnosis thatâ?Ts left him paralyzed and blasted Trump and the GOPâ?Ts efforts to gut the Affordable Care Act. In moving remarks, Barkan implored supporters to get out the vote, and alluded to his staunch support for Medicare For All -- and wanting to put legislation on Bidenâ?Ts desk to that end: ADY BARKAN: (223139) We live in the richest country in history and yet we do not guarantee this most basic human right. Everyone living in America should get the healthcare they need regardless of their employment status or ability to pay. Even during this terrible crisis, Donald Trump and Republican politicians are trying to take away millions of peoples health insurance. With the existential threat of another four years of this president, we all have a profound obligation to act. (223206) Not only to vote, but to make sure that our friends, family and neighbors vote as well. We must elect Joe Biden. Each of us must be a hero for the communities, for our country. And then with a compassionate and intelligent president we must act together and put on his desk a bill that guarantees us all the healthcare we deserve. JOHN KERRY & COLIN POWELL Pitches for Bidenâ?Ts foreign policy platform were flanked by a bipartisan paring of former Secretaries of State John Kerry and Colin Powell -- the latterâ?Ts appearance, officially announced and confirmed earlier this evening. Kerry did not give Trump any credit for a stronger economy at the beginning of his term and ridiculed Trumpâ?Ts appearances on the world stage as a â?oblooper reelâ??: JOHN KERRY: (222304) Donald Trump inherited a growing economy and a more peaceful world. Like everything else he inherited he bankrupted it. When this president goes overseas, it isnâ?Tt a good will mission, it's a blooper reel. He breaks up with our allies and writes love letters to dictators. America deserves a president who is looked up to not laughed at. (223547) This is the bottom line: our interests, our ideals and our brave men and women in uniform can't afford four more years of Donald Trump. Our troops can't get out of harm's way by hiding in the white house bunker. They need a president who will stand up for them. And president Biden will. Colin Powellâ?Ts remarks (224054) focused more on his immigrant heritage and his shared values with Biden -- taking no direct shots at Trump until the end of his remarks, casting the president as someone doing â?oeverything in his powerâ?? to divide the nation: COLIN POWELL: (224126) The values I learned growing up in the South Bronx and serving in uniform were the same values that Joe Bidenâ?Ts parents instilled in him in Scranton, Pennsylvania. I support Joe Biden for the presidency of the United States because those values still define him, and we need to restore those values to the White House. Our country needs a commander in chief who takes care of troops in the same way he would his own family. (224151) For Joe Biden, that doesn't need teaching. It comes from experience that he shares with millions of military families -- sending his beloved son off to war, and praying to god he would come home safe. (224258) Today, we are a country divided. And we have a president doing everything in his power to make it that way, and keep us that way. What a difference it will make to have a president who unites us, who restores our strength and our soul. I still believe that in our hearts we are the same America that brought my parents to our shores. An America that inspires freedom around the world. That's the America Joe Biden will lead as our next president. Jill Biden ended the night with a positive message from Brandywine High School in Wilmington, making the case for her husband-- not mentioning the president by name (instead issuing a call for leadership)-- but highlighting what Democrats see as his failures as families across America struggle with job losses, health care crises and an economic downturn amid the coronavirus pandemic. JILL BIDEN: (225935) We're coming together and holding onto each other. We're finding mercy and grace in the moments we might have once taken for granted. We're seeing that our differences are precious, and our similarities infinite. We have shown that the heart of this nation still beats with kindness and courage. That's the soul of America Joe Biden is fighting for now. She told America the story of her relationship with Biden and their family, the loss of their son Beau to cancer and how Biden returned to work to continue fighting for American families. JILL BIDEN: (230010) After our son Beau died of cancer, I wondered if I would ever smile or feel joy again. It was summer, but there was no warmth left for me. Four days after Beau's funeral, I watched Joe shave and put on his suit. I saw him steel himself in the mirror, take a breath, put his shoulders back, and walk out into a world empty of our son. He went back to work. (230046) That's just who he is. There are times when I couldn't even imagine how he did it. How he put one foot in front of the other and kept going. But I've always understood why he did it -- for the daughter who convinces her mom to finally get a breast cancer screening and misses work to drive her to the clinic. For the community college student who has faced homelessness and survived abuse but finds the grit to finish her degree and make a good life for her kids. Her only venture toward the president was in the midst of a call to leadership â?oworthy of our nation.â?? JILL BIDEN: (230238) Across this country, educators, parents, first responders, Americans of all walks of life are putting their shoulders back, fighting for each other. We haven't given up. We just need leadership worthy of our nation -- worthy of you. Honest leadership to bring us back together, to recover from this pandemic and prepare for whatever else is next. 230309 Leadership to reimagine what our nation will be, that's Joe. He and Kamala will work as hard as you do everyday to make this nation better. And if I have the honor of serving as your First Lady, I will, too. And with Joe as President, these classrooms will ring out with laughter and possibility once again. 230340 The burdens we carry are heavy, and we need someone with strong shoulders. I know that if we entrust this nation to Joe, he will do for your family what he did for ours -- bring us together and make us whole, carry us forward in our time of need, keep the promise of America for all of us. ########### >> Missouri. 220013 >> As a member of the international union of bricklayers and allied craft workers, local one St. Louis, I love walking around the city and seeing the contributions that my brothers and sisters have made. We stand ready to rebuild our nation's infrastructure, and with Joe Biden's leadership, we'll create millions of new jobs -- building back better. Missouri casts 28 votes for Bernie Sanders, and 50 votes for our next president, Joe Biden. >> Montana. 220041 >> When covid shut down my college, I came home to my parent's ranch to finish senior year online. But some days I can't even get a video to load or an email attachment to send. Without reliable internet, there's no remote learning, no virtual doctorâ?Ts appointments and just try starting a small business. Rural broadband can be a game change for rural communities like mine and Joe Biden has a plan to make it happen. Montana casts one vote for Bernie Sanders and 18 votes for our next president, Joe Biden. >> Nebraska. 220109 >> I work at a meat packing plant making sure grocery store shelves stay full. They call us essential workers, but we get treated like we're ex-pendable. Workers are dying from covid, but a lot of us don't have paid sick leave or even quality protective equipment. We are human beings, not robots, not disposable. We want to help you keep helping you feed your family, but we need a president who will have our backs. Nebraska casts 33 votes for our next president, Joe Biden. >> Nevada. 220136 >> Working people are the backbone of our economy, and the key to our recovery. Joe Biden knows it's not enough to praise them, we have to reward them. So let's raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour, empower workers to negotiate for better benefits and safer workplaces, and make it easier to pay for things like health care and higher education. I am proud to cast 24 votes for Bernie Sanders, and 25 votes for our next president, Joe Biden. 220205 >> New Hampshire. >> Hello from the Granite state. We trust Joe Biden. Joe provides the leadership necessary to bring us back from this awful pandemic. Joe has a plan to attack global climate change once and for all. And Joe will restore honesty, decency and trust to the White House, reunite all Americans and build a better future for all. The great state of New Hampshire awards 9 delegates to our friend and neighbor, Bernie Sanders, and 24 delegates to the next president of the United States, Joe Biden. >> New Jersey. 220238 MURPHY>> We've been hit hard by covid. But we're coming back. But we have to be smart. We have to listen to the experts. And we have to have a president who has a plan. That's why in memory of all those we have lost, in solidarity with those who are sick or struggling, and in eternal gratitude for our heroic frontline workers, New Jersey castles five votes for senator Bernie Sanders and 139 votes for the next president of the united States, Joe Biden. >> New Mexico.

New Mexico proudly casts four votes for Bernie Sanders and 42 votes for the next president of the United States of America, Joe Biden. >> New York. >> As an immigrant from St. Vincent and the Grenadines and an 1199 SEIU registered nurse, I'm proud to be part of America's fight against Covid-19, but many health care workers don't get paid sick leave or have enough protective equipment. 220411 I have two children with asthma, and a mother who is high risk. I worry everyday about bringing this virus home to them. Joe Biden's plan will help us take better care of your loved ones, as well as our own. Along with the lieutenant governor, Kathy Hochul, I cast New York's votes: 44 votes for Bernie Sanders, and 277 for our next president, Joe Biden. It's Joe time! >> North Carolina. 220446 >> I've been doing this for a long time, so let just me be plain. Black people, especially black women, are the backbone of this party. And if we don't show up, Democrats don't get elected. I'm putting on my mask, and we're going to every corner in North Carolina to help organize, because we need to make sure everyone shows up for Joe Biden. He would show up for us. 220508 North Carolina casts 39 votes for Bernie Sanders and 83 votes for the next president of the United States, Joe Biden. >> North Dakota. >> [ Speaking foreign language ] 220524 >> Welcome to the homelands of the (?) people. I graduated from a class of just 44 students and I had to drive three hours just to sake the S.A.T.S. But growing up, I knew that college was a ladder that could take you anywhere. Joe Biden knows that everyone deserves a chance to climb that ladder so as a proud tribal member, as a mexican-american and as a Harvard graduate, I'm proud to cast North Dakota's votes. Ten for Bernie Sanders, and eight for our next president, Joe Biden. >> Northern Mariana Islands. 220554 >> (?) and hello from paradise, the northern Mariana Islands. We may be far away, but we're American citizens. And this year, for the first time in decades, we finally have a democratic slate. Because Democrats organize everywhere. But we don't get to vote for president, so please don't waste yours. The northern Mariana Islands is proud to cast two votes for senator Bernie Sanders, and nine votes for our next president, Joseph Biden. [ Speaking foreign language ] Thank you. 220628 >> Ohio. >> It seems like every time working people believe in a Donald Trump promise, they wind up getting screwed.

TIM RYAN TIM RYAN>> Like electric vehicles or a national network of vehicle charging infrastructure that will create good paying jobs for skilled union workers like Josh, and the future will be made in America. Ohio casts 20 votes for Senator Bernie Sanders, and 134 votes for the next president, Joe Biden. O-H! >> I-O! >> Oklahoma. 220708 >> 99 years ago, racial violence devastated a thriving black community here in Tulsa. Today, hatred still lives in our nation, but so does resolve. Oklahoma refused to let ourselves be defined by division then, and our nation must turn back the tide of violence again now. Oklahoma casts 13 votes for Bernie Sanders, and 24 votes for our next president, Joe Biden. [cheers] 220732 >> Oregon >> As black Americans standing on native land, we proudly represent Oregon. The dual viruses, Covid-19 and racism laid bare unequal health care access and deaths in communities of color. 220748 >> The Democrats are working to bridge divides and make sure everyone has equal access to low or no cost quality care. Today, Oregon casts 16 votes for Bernie Sanders. >> And with senators Wyden and Merkleyâ?Ts support, cast 57 votes for Joe Biden. >> Pennsylvania. 220806 >> When Joe Biden was young, his father came to this house in Scranton, sat down on Joe's bed and told him he lost his job. It's a moment that stayed with Joe his entire life. Right now, all across America, working families are experiencing that same fear and uncertainty. But Joe Biden has a plan to help them. And to help our country build back better, creating millions of good paying jobs, so more parents will be able to tell their kids what Joe's dad said to him all those years ago. It's going to be okay. 220841 Pennsylvania casts 34 votes for senator Bernie Sanders, and 175 votes for the next president of the United States, Scranton's own, Joe Biden. >> Puerto Rico. [ Speaking Spanish] >> Rhode Island. 220927 >> Rhode Island, the ocean state. Where our restaurant and fishing industry have been decimated by this pandemic.

The Calamari Comeback State of Rhode Island casts one vote for Bernie Sanders, and 34 votes for the next president, Joe Biden. >> South Carolina. JAMIE HARRISON 220959 HARRISON>> Mr. Chairman, I am Jamie Harrison, candidate for the United States senate, speaking from the campus of South Carolina state university, the Alma mater of majority Whip Jim Clyburn and the late Dr. Emily England Clyburn, for whom its Honors College is named.

Tennessee casts 23 votes for Bernie Sanders, and 50 votes for our next president of the united States, Mr. Joseph R. Biden. >> Texas. 221151 >> A year ago, my safe community of El Paso was targeted by a domestic terrorist who murdered 23 innocent people, injured 23 more, and devastated all of us.

The time has come to act, with one abstention, the great state of Texas casts 98 votes for Bernie Sanders and 161 votes for our next president, Joe Biden. >> Utah. 221229 >> Here in Utah, we've had mail-in voting for years. If you're registered to vote, you automatically get sent a ballot. It's fast, itâ?Ts reliable and itâ?Ts easy for everyone to participate. In 2016, we had turnout well over 80%. And this year, weâ?Tre expecting even higher. That's why Democrats and Republicans here in Utah agree, mail-in voting strengthens our democracy. Utah casts 17 voting for Bernie Sanders, and 16 votes for our next president, Joe Biden. >> Vermont. 221302 >> The state of Vermont strongly believing in economic justice, social justice, racial justice, and environmental justice, proudly supporting democracy and the constitution of the united States, and vehemently opposed to the authoritarianism and racism of the trump administration, is proud to cast 15 votes for Vermont senator Bernie Sanders, and nine votes for the next president of the United States, Joe Biden. 221329 >> The U.S. Virgin Islands. >> In recognition of our governor, Albert Bryan Jr., and our delegate to congress,Stacey Plaskett, we bring you greetings from the virgin Islands of the United States.

Virginia casts 32 votes for Bernie Sanders, and 91 votes for our president, Joe Biden. >> Washington. 221442 >> As a 15-year-old refugee from Vietnam, I knew that education was the key to finding opportunities in my new home.

Washington casts 43 votes to Senator Bernie Sanders, and 66 votes to our next president, Joe Biden. >> West Virginia. 221515 >> West Virginians have changed the narrative about public education.

We're hardworking people who are fighting to provide for our families and build a better future. 221650 We know that we build a better future for our nation by channeling Wisconsin's legacy as the birthplace of the Labor and the Progressive movement, and uniting around a bold, inclusive agenda that uplifts every community. In the pursuit of a more just future, one that recognizes health care as a human right and one that tackles the climate crisis and takes on racial and economic justice, Wisconsin casts 30 votes for Bernie Sanders and 67 for the next president of the United States of America, Joseph Biden.

What's more, he's humble, he tells the truth. He treats everybody he encounters with respect and builds bridges, not walls. He's a leader made for this moment and the finest public servant I have ever known. 221808 >> Delaware is proud to cast its 32 votes for our favorite son and our ext president. >> Our friend, Delaware's Joe Biden. [ Applause ] âTªâTªâTªâTª [VIDEO OF JOE BIDEN WITH JILL BIDEN, APPLAUSE] 221919 >> Thank you to all our delegations. I'm pleased to announce that vice president Joe Biden has officially been nominated by the Democratic Party as our candidate for president of the United States. Vice President Biden is hereby invited to deliver an acceptance speech. JOE BIDEN 221942 BIDEN>> Well, thank you very, very much, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you all. It means the world to me and my family, and Iâ?Tll see you on Thursday. Thank you, thank you, thank you. [applause] [MONTAGE OF APPLAUSE FROM VIRTUAL ATTENDEES] 222031 ROSS>> Come on, that was so sweet with the grandkids. Yay! And now, we have an official nominee. Onto the next step, electing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in November. Make sure you have a plan to vote. Text VOTE to 30330 to find out how. Now, we're going to talk about a topic that touches all of our lives: healthcare. 222057 The affordable care act was game changing. This pandemic has revealed just how important it is to protect and improve it. Increasing access to healthcare and bringing down itâ?Ts cost have always been a priority for Joe Biden. Because for Joe, and for all of us, healthcare is personal. [DNC VIDEO] 222121 >> Itâ?Ts the toughest battles that call for the steadiest leadership. Again and again they were told to give up on affordable healthcare. They knew it would them cost politically. >> The Republicans say this will prove to be unpopular. >> The bill is a legislative train wreck. >> But not nearly as much as it would cost the American people, if they did nothing. 222142 BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> We are not going to slow up on providing affordable healthcare for Americans. Healthcare is a natural American right. >> Giving up on the affordable care act would have meant leaving 20 million without coverage out in the cold. But Joe Biden wasn't about to give up. Because he knew what it was like to stand in their shoes. He was sworn in to this senate next to a hospital bed. His wife and daughter had been killed in a car crash. 222214 And lying in that bed were his two sons. 40 years later one of those little boys, his son Beau, was diagnosed with cancer. And given only months to live. 222229 It's hard to imagine a greater grief than losing your child. But Joe always knew that his family was one of the lucky ones. After that accident, his son got 40 more years of life, all because he had healthcare. VIDEO FROM SENATE PASSING ACA>> Without objection, the Senate reconsider is laid on the table. 222256 >> Now, it's unthinkable that Donald Trump is trying to take that healthcare away. In the middle of a pandemic, he is still trying to get rid of the Affordable Care Act. This fight is personal for Joe -- as personal as it gets. So when Joe says he has a plan to strengthen the Affordable Care Act, protect those with preexisting conditions and expand access to every American, heâ?Ts thinking about how having healthcare saved his boys. 222330 His plan talks about lowering drug prices and making care more affordable. He's thinking about Beau. Who spent his final days in comfort because he was insured. Joe Biden knows what affordable healthcare means to American families because of what it's meant to his. JOE BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> This is my promise to you. When I'm president, I will take care of your healthcare coverage and your family the same way I would my own. 222401 JOE BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> That's what the presidency is. The duty to care. To care for all of us. Not just those who vote for us. But all of us. This job is not about me. It's about you. It's about us. VIDEO OF BIDEN ON VIDEO CONFERENCE JOE BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> How are you? You handsome boy. 222426 STEVE GOMEZ (ON VIDEO)>> He was born in 15. And with a heart condition known as transpositioned arteries. And ended up acquiring a transplant and thankfully the ACA had already taken effect. But now, that's something we think about all the time, especially with his coverage, the potential of coverage maximums and his initial hospital stays was over $3 million. That was billed back to insurance. 222450 BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> I remember thinking as beau lay dying in bed, and weâ?Td sit, lie in bed with him, his brother and I and his sister, and thinking to myself what in gods name would I do if the doctor walked in and said I'm sorry, you have out run your insurance, you have reached your cap, suffer the last few months of your life on your own. 222513 JEFF JEANS (ON VIDEO)>> I came from a part of the country, rural Missouri, where basically everybody was Republican and I was a Republican. And I lost my voice. And we put off going to the doctor because we didn't have health insurance. When we finally got in to somebody that could look at my throat, they said well you have cancer. It was stage 4. The worst kind of cancer you can have. 222542 My wife applied for insurance through the Affordable Care Act, and my coverage began on April 1st in 2012. And that same day, they started my chemo and radiation, and it saved my life. I'm here today. VIDEO FROM HEALTHCARE DISCUSSION WITH BIDEN 222601 DR. ANGIE TAYLOR>> Generally speaking, as a church, you're concerned about people spiritually but youâ?Tre also concerned about other areas of their life. And that includes their physical or physiological well being because the bible talks about all of us. There are people in the country and, in fact, people in my church that can't take advantage of it because they don't have good healthcare. That's -- thatâ?Ts pretty discouraging to me and thatâ?Ts pretty discouraging to them. 222628 JULIE BUCKHOLT>> Because of the myasthenia gravis and the fact that it's a very rare disease, a lot of our medications we have to fight for. And before the ACA, we worried about our medications. We worried about the pre-existing conditions for our children. We worried about age and the cap. Because having that cost of the medications, we would have reached that million dollar cap in no time. But once the ACA passed, we did -- we no longer have that cap on the million dollars. 222704 BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> The fear that you all live in understandably if somehow tomorrow they said no insurance. You canâ?Tt -- you're not covered. It's just devastating. Hey Laura, how are you doing? LAURA PACKARD>> Thanks again. BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> How are you doing? Well, you beat Hodgkinâ?Ts Lymphoma. God love you. But during it all, Trump was trying to rip away your coverage. The day you got your first chemo Republicans voted to gut the ACA. I can't imagine what it must have been like going to sleep at night wondering what to do. LAURA PACKARD>> Ever since I was diagnosed every night I go to bed concerned about what news I would get in the morning. And even still even today theyâ?Tre still trying to take away our healthcare even during a pandemic. 222755 BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> Look, we're going to make sure we don't lose ACA. We're going to provide a medicare like option, as a public option. And any state where there's a -- if you qualify for medicaid and the state hasn't provided it youâ?Td automatically be enrolled. I'm protect you like I tried to protect my own family. My own family. And I promise you that. â?oWE THE PEOPLE ALL DESERVE AFFORDABLE QUALITY HEALTHCAREâ?? VIDEO 222814 EUGENE F>> I met Joe last year at a campaign event to thank him for being so involved in the battle to cure cancer. Indeed, I have what's been diagnosed as terminal cancer. The inspiration and the empathy and the human love that he shared with me kept has kept me going. LISA P>> I made an appointment for my wellness check up provided for by the affordable care act. I was told that I had ovarian cancer. I finished my course of treatment and since then I have been cancer free. And I'm very grateful for that. JACQUELINE A>> I chose to become a Joe Biden delegate as I watched with our nation as president Donald Trump sought to dismantle the affordable care act. EUGENE F>> My purpose in life right now is to devote all my energy to getting Joe elected. 212908 JACQUELINE A>> I anxiously jumped at the chance to become a Biden delegate. LISA P>> He'll continue to strengthen the affordable care act so that diseases like cancer don't go undetected. â?oMAY 2018â?? VIDEO 222932 ADY>> Hey, Carl. It's me, dad. By the time you're watching this, you will have grown up to be strong and courageous. But, I don't know how much longer I'll be around for you. 222948 >> I was diagnosed with ALS today, which is a deadly debilitating disease. BARKAN>> After I was diagnosed, the president passed that tax bill that put my healthcare at risk. So I went to Washington D.C. CNN BROADCAST (ON VIDEO)>> My next guest made headlines when he confronted a Republican senator on an airplane. BARKAN (ON VIDEO)>> You can be an American hero. BARKAN (VO)>> I wanted to help create a better country for you to live in. 223017 BARKAN (ON VIDEO)>> Democracy is beautiful. CROWD (ON VIDEO)>> Democracy is beautiful. BARKAN (VO)>> All that matters to me is to make you proud because I'm already so proud of you. ADY BARKAN 223039 >> Hello, America. My name is Ady Barkan and I'm speaking to you through this computer voice because I have been paralyzed by a mysterious illness called ALS. Like so many of you, I have experienced the ways our healthcare system is fundamentally broken. Enormous costs, denied claims, dehumanizing treatment when we're most in need. Since my shocking diagnosis, I have traveled the country meeting countless patients like me demanding more of our representatives and our democracy. 223110 Today, we are witnessing the tragic consequences of our failing healthcare system. In the midst of a pandemic, nearly 100 million Americans do not have sufficient health insurance. And even good insurance does not cover essential needs like long term care. Our loved ones are dying in unsafe nursing homes. Our nurses are overwhelmed and unprotected. And our essential workers are treated as dispensable. 223139 We live in the richest country in history and yet we do not guarantee this most basic human right. Everyone living in America should get the healthcare they need regardless of their employment status or ability to pay. Even during this terrible crisis, Donald Trump and Republican politicians are trying to take away millions of peoples health insurance. With the existential threat of another four years of this president, we all have a profound obligation to act. 223206 Not only to vote, but to make sure that our friends, family and neighbors vote as well. We must elect Joe Biden. Each of us must be a hero for the communities, for our country. And then with a compassionate and intelligent president we must act together and put on his desk a bill that guarantees us all the healthcare we deserve. Text vote to 30330 to learn how to vote safely. Because our lives depend on it. 223240 ELLIS ROSS>> Politics and elections can seem like these far away things that one person doesn't have the power to change, but what's happening in our country right now makes it clear how personal politics are. I have discovered that when I get informed and participate, my fear gets smaller. Voting is a big part of that. 223301 So knowing the change you want, vote for the leaders you think will make it happen. And if you're able, if you can, help fund this campaign. Please go to joebiden.com and chip in whatever you can. With leaders like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, we can build back better here at home. And once again strengthen our nations security and standing in the world. VETERAN FOR JOE VIDEO 223332 GILLIARD>> My name is Demarcus Gilliard. I'm 34 years old, and I currently live in Los Angeles, California. I'm a 2009 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Innapolis, and I served on active duty in the marine corps as an officer for six years. I took an oath to support, uphold and defend the constitution of the United States of America, and I know that Joe Biden, in his years of public service, took a similar oath and he understands the sacrifice of the men and women in uniform who are overseas right now, fighting for the ideals of this nation. 223407 That liberty and justice can be extended to all people. I know that Joe Biden understands that at his core. I trust him to lead us on Day One into a greater future. There's nothing more important for me right now than making sure that we restore the soul of the nation. And I think that Joe Biden is the best person to do that. So thanks, Joe. JOHN KERRY 223447 KERRY>>Hi, I'm John Kerry.. For the eight years of the Obama Biden administration we led by example. We eliminated the threat of Iran with a nuclear weapon. We built a 68 nation coalition to destroy ISIS. We forged 195 nation agreement to attack climate change. 223504 We stopped ebola before it became a pandemic.Donald Trump inherited a growing economy and a more peaceful world. Like everything else he inherited he bankrupted it. When this president goes overseas, it isnâ?Tt a good will mission, it's a blooper reel. He breaks up with our allies and writes love letters to dictators. America deserves a president who is looked up to not laughed at. 223530 Donald Trump pretends Russia didn't attack our elections and now he does nothing about Russia putting a bounty on our troops. So he won't defend our country, he doesn't know how to defend our troops. The only person he's interested in defending is himself. 223547 This is the bottom line: our interests, our ideals and our brave men and women in uniform can't afford four more years of Donald Trump. Our troops can't get out of harm's way by hiding in the white house bunker. They need a president who will stand up for them. And president Biden will. 223606 Joe's moral compass is always pointed in the right direction. From the fight to break the back of apartheid to the struggle to wake up the world to genocide in Balkans, Joe understands that none of the issues of this world -- not nuclear weapons, not the challenge of building back better after covid-19, not terrorism and certainly not the climate crisis -- none can be resolved without bringing nations together with strength and humility. 223635 Joe understands our values don't limit our power, they magnify it. He knows you can't spread democracy around the world if you don't practice it at home, and he knows that even the united States of America needs friends on this planet. Before Donald Trump, we used to talk about American exceptionalism. The only thing exceptional about the incoherent Trump foreign policy is that it has made our nation more isolated than ever before. 223704 Joe Biden knows we aren't exceptional because we bluster that we are, we are exceptional because we do exceptional things. On June 6th, 1944, young Americans gave their lives on the beaches of Normandy to liberate the world from tyranny. Out of the ashes of that war, we made peace and rebuilt the world. That was and remains exceptional. It is the opposite of everything Donald Trump stands for. 223736 This moment is a fight for the security of America and the world. Only Joe Biden can make America lead like America again. If you agree, text JOIN to 30330. Thank you. BIDEN FOREIGN POLICY VIDEO 223756 BRETT MCGURK>> In the situation room, presidents make decisions of war and peace. So when Joe Biden walks into the Situation Room, first and foremost in his mind is how will my decision impact the lives of the American people? MARIE YOVANOVITCH>> He is experienced. He has made the tough calls. CHUCK HAGEL>> Heâ?Ts got courage. Heâ?Ts got tremendous courage, character, judgment and he can be tough. I witnessed it close up. LINDA THOMAS-GREENFIELD>> Joe Biden is decisive and well prepared for any issue. 223824 >> There's no one more qualified than Joe Biden to be sitting at the head of the table in the situation room making decisions for this country. >>Having sent his son to war, I don't think anyone can be more ready than vice president Biden. 223838 JACK WEINSTEIN (ON VIDEO)>> He knows exactly what's at stake when he sends our troops overseas. ROSE GOTTEMOELLER (ON VIDEO)>> Biden understands how important it is to have allies standing together with us. They are force multipliers. 223849 >> Joe Biden has the unique ability to connect with people. He knows the leaders and heâ?Ts dealt with them for years, knows what makes them tick. >> They trust him, they trust his judgment and they know that his word is good. TOM COUNTRYMAN (ON VIDEO)>> I know that Bidenâ?Ts personal diplomacy will save American lives. 223903 >> To build these relationships takes decades. And to tear them down, all it takes is a tweet. COUNTRYMAN (ON VIDEO)>> Thanks to Donald Trump our adversaries are stronger and bolder. >> Donald Trump has had a love fest with dictators including China and Russia. He hasn't been standing up to them at all. 223920 JACK WEINSTEIN (ON VIDEO)>> I served in the United States air force for 36 years. Iâ?Tve led space squadrons, nuclear missile squadrons and I never thought I would have a president who is a danger to national security. >> President Trump has degraded and debased the presidency and our country in the eyes of the world. JACK WEINSTEIN (ON VIDEO)>> The Russians offered bounties on U.S. Soldiers. I was shocked when I read that but the president didn't even ask Vladimir Putin about it. That's un-american. >> There's something wrong with that. I mean, thatâ?Ts a dereliction of duty. You're failing the troops. Youâ?Tre failing this country. JACK WEINSTEIN (ON VIDEO)>> The first thing a president needs to do is find out what the facts are. This president doesn't care about facts. 223956 >> Biden cares about the safety and welfare of American servicemen and women. >> Our military had a policy to maintain our presence in Syria. We actually came to the aid of the kurds against ISIS and we helped stop the advance. President trump told us to simply abandon the Kurds. Shameful. >> Joe Biden will be strong against dictators. >> I have heard him on the phone with some pretty tough characters. You know, you talk about Joe Bidenâ?Ts empathy, his decency. But Joe Biden is tough as nails and everybody knows it. >> He will do the right thing. No matter the political cost. 224030 >> I have served for two Republican presidents and one Democratic President. I have seen the trump administration make decisions without any thought. Without any preparation that had massive life and death consequences. >> At one of the most defining times in the history of the world Joe Biden is uniquely qualified to be president of the United States. JACK WEINSTEIN (ON VIDEO)>> If you want a strong America you want Joe Biden. COLIN POWELL 224054 POWELL>> Hi, I'm former secretary of state Colin Powell. 100 years ago, a young immigrant left a dirt farm in Jamaica and set out for America. Three years later, a ship pulled into New York Harbor, and a young Jamaican woman gazed up at the statue of liberty for the first time. They became my parents, and they inspired me to finish college and join the army. This began a journey of service that would take me from basic training to combat in Vietnam, up the ranks to serve as chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and secretary of state. 224126 The values I learned growing up in the South Bronx and serving in uniform were the same values that Joe Bidenâ?Ts parents instilled in him in Scranton, Pennsylvania. I support Joe Biden for the presidency of the United States because those values still define him, and we need to restore those values to the White House. Our country needs a commander in chief who takes care of troops in the same way he would his own family. 224151 For Joe Biden, that doesn't need teaching. It comes from experience that he shares with millions of military families -- sending his beloved son off to war, and praying to god he would come home safe. Joe Biden will be a president we will all be proud to salute. With Joe Biden in the white house, you will never doubt that he will stand with our friends and stand up to our adversaries. Never the other way around. 224216 He will trust our diplomats and our intelligence community -- not the flattery of dictators and despots. He will make it his job to know when anyone dares to threaten us. He will stand up to our adversaries with strength and experience. They will know he means business. 224232 I support Joe Biden because beginning on day one, he will restore Americaâ?Ts leadership and our moral authority. He'll be a president who knows that America is strongest when, as he has said, we lead both by the power of our example and the example of our power. He'll restore America's leadership in the world. And restore the alliances we need to address the dangers that threaten our nation, from climate change to nuclear proliferation. 224258 Today, we are a country divided. And we have a president doing everything in his power to make it that way, and keep us that way. What a difference it will make to have a president who unites us, who restores our strength and our soul. I still believe that in our hearts we are the same America that brought my parents to our shores. An America that inspires freedom around the world. That's the America Joe Biden will lead as our next president. Thank you, very much. [â?oAN UNLIKELY FRIENDSHIPâ?? VIDEO] 224327 >> It was a friendship that shouldn't have worked. John, a former Navy pilot just released from a north Vietnamese prison. Joe, a young senator from Delaware. But in the 1970s Joe was assigned a military aid for a trip overseas. JOHN MCCAIN (ON VIDEO) >> I was the Navy senate liaison and used to carry your bags on overseas trips. 224359 BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> This son of a gun never carried my bags. He was supposed to carry my bags, dammit, but henever carried my bags. 224410 >> John and Joe traveled thousands of miles together. The families got to know each other. Gathering for picnics in the Bidenâ?Ts backyard. CINDY MCCAIN (VO)>> They would just sit and joke. It was like a comedy show sometimes to watch the two of them. >> But when John was elected to the senate as a Republican from Arizona, they found themselves on opposing sides. JOHN MCCAIN (VO)>> We're in different parties. We hold different views on many issues. TED KAUFMAN (VO)>> Theyâ?Td be going at it on the floor and youâ?Td think oh these guys must really, really, really dislike each other. And theyâ?Td be having dinner that night together. >> Senator Biden had great respect for the institution of the senate. He built relationships that were cordial, that were personal. 224458 BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> We have always been willing, when we thought the other guy was right, to cross the aisle and lock arms. It's good for the country. RON KLAIN (VO)>> It takes trust to get things done in a divided government. And I think with Joe Biden, his colleagues knew that your points were equally valid to him. >> Even if a deal seemed out of reach, it was always Joe who tried to cross the aisle. >> He was like a natural for that. He just had an ability to find the common ground but never give up your principles. 224532 >> For three decades, Joe was able to move his colleagues, and find a way forward on Violence against women, banning chemical weapons, assault weapons, and controlling nuclear arms. CINDY MCCLAIN (VO)>> It was a style of legislating and leadership that you don't find much anymore. >> And when millions of Americans were faced with losing their health insurance, it was Joe's friend who saved Obamacare by crossing the aisle. 224603 BROADCAST (VO)>> McCain cast his vote with a thumbs down. BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> John and I have been given several awards about bipartisan. We don't understand why we should get an award for bipartisan. MCCAIN (ON VIDEO)>> Thank you for your example. I'm proud you remain the same good guy that you were when you first got here. Most of all, for your friendship. My life and the lives of many have been enriched by it. JILL & JOE ORIGIN STORY VIDEO 224635 [BIDEN AND JILL KISS IN THEIR HOME] 224642 JILL BIDEN>> I have a rule that I never think of anything negative when I'm running. When I set my mind to something, I find a way to get it done. JOE BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> She is so damn tough and loyal. When I met Jill, I knew. My brother said â?othere's this woman, you'll really like her, Joe.â?? So I gave her a call. And she had a date that night. JILL BIDEN>> You said, â?odo you think you can break your date?â?? JOE BIDEN>> Oh, that's right. And what'd you do? 224716 JILL BIDEN>> Well, I called and told the guy that I had a friend in from out of town. And went out with Joe. JOE BIDEN>> I was 30 and I was a senator, and I was a widower. Several years earlier, a tractor trailer broadsided my wife and three children. My wife was killed and my daughter was killed. I wasnâ?Tt big on the whole date scene thing. 224744 But when I met Jill, I fell in love with her when I saw her. JILL BIDEN>> He said â?oI'd really like to see you again.â?? So, he's looking at his calendar and heâ?Ts -- â?oThursday, no. No, I'm really busy. No, I'm busy Friday. How about tomorrow?â?? [Joe laughs] And I thought, â?oBuddy, you just blew your cover.â?? JOE BIDEN>> She's owned me since then. 224812 JOE BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> The boys fell in love with Jill too. I'm brushing my teeth one morning and they came running in, and Beau and Hunger said â?oDad, we think it's time we married Jill.â?? Swear to god. I asked her to marry me five times. JILL BIDEN>> It wasn't just my heart that was on the line. I loved the boys so much. I had to be sure that it had to be forever. JOE BIDEN>> I'm going to ask you one more time, will you marry me? She goes like this, â?oOkay.â?? [laughing] 222846 JOE BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> She put us back together. She gave me back my life. She gave us back a family. We were raised with the same values. 224902 JILL BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> I grew up in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, right outside of philly. My mom was English Scottish. And my dad was Italian. My grandmother made the homemade noodles that would hang, you know, and sheâ?Td be drying her noodles. BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> They were a very close family. Sheâ?Ts the eldest of five girls. >> She's kind of like the god mother of all of us. 224930 >> I think we've all seen the feistiness in her. >> There was a bully in my school, she marched up the street and knocked on his door -- JILL BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>>-- And I punched him right in the face. 224943 My father fought in World War II. He was a signalman in the Navy. And he was very patriotic. He would take us to watch the blue angels and he was so proud. We worshipped our mother. I can picture her so well, reading for hours. She just loved to read, and that had a great influence on me. I went to college at the university of Delaware. 225011 Then I taught in high schools. I mean, I got up every single day so excited to go teach. When I married Joe, I took off time to establish myself as the boys' mom. We don't use the term stepmother. 225028 JOE BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> Beau and Hunter said, we have a mom and a mommy. Our mommy died. This is our mom. Then along came Ashley, and -- JILL BIDEN (ON VIDEO) >> Our family was complete. JOE BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> Yep. ASHLEY BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> When I was growing up, mom was fun. The head butting started when I was a teenager. There were some conflicts. She dealt with it by taking up running. She started to basically run marathons âTª raised on promises âTª 225105 JOE BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> I never ever doubted that anything she set her mind to she could do. I got to hand her her doctorate degree in education at the University of Delaware. JILL BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> Let's turn it positive so you will pass it. NAOMI BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> I would say she's not your average grandmother. NATALIE BIDEN (ON VIDEO) >> Yeah. NAOMI BIDEN (ON VIDEO) >> She's the grandmother who wakes you up like, what was it? Like 5:00 A.M. On Christmas eve to go soul cycling. NATALIE BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> Yeah. We have a lot of stories. NAOMI BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> Yeah, she's a prankster. Sheâ?Ts very mischievous. Like When she goes on a run, sometimes she'll find a dead snake and sheâ?Tll pick it up and put it in a bag and sheâ?Tll use it to scare someone. 225148 AMB. CATHY RUSSELL (ON VIDEO)>> That's a classic Jill. She wasn't really a Washington person and I don't think ever imagined herself being part of that. JILL BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> When Joe was elected to vice president, I just thought, hey, I got to step it up here, because there are things that I really care about. Having had a father in the military, having a son deployed in Iraq, I saw the need to support military families. 225218 ASHLEY WILLIAMS (ON VIDEO)>> Dr. Biden could draw anyone in, and they felt like they were talking to an old friend. That is one of her superpowers. AMB. CATHY RUSSELL (ON VIDEO)>> When she was second lady, Jill told me that she would like to continue teaching at community college, and I said, that's insane, you cannot possibly do that. JILL BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> I said, I know I can do both jobs. AMB. CATHY RUSSELL (ON VIDEO)>> I never saw her on any day of the week where she wasn't carrying a huge stack of papers to grade. JOE BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> As second lady she was teaching full-time for eight years, 15 credits a semester. 225256 JILL BIDEN (ON VIDEO>> These were students who wanted to be in your classroom, and I saw their tenacity. And they were taking care of children, just like I had done. YVETTE LEWIS (ON VIDEO)>> She gave 100% of her energy to the students. She's a great teacher. JOE BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> Teaching is not what Jill does. It's who she is. Jill just simply cares. She cares about other people. 225320 JILL BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> When beau was diagnosed with brain cancer, nobody knew what we were going through. The secret service, you know, they're not supposed to react to your life or what you're doing. They would whisper, I'm praying for you. HUNTER BIDEON (ON VIDEO)>> Mom, it's your strength that holds this family together. And I know that you will make us whole again. 225353 JILL BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> You never stop grieving, ever. But you do have to find purpose. JILL BIDEN (AT CAMPAIGN EVENT)>> Please welcome my husband, Joe Biden! JILL BIDEN (ON VIDEO)>> Running for president is too tough to not be together. 225411 >> The future first lady of the United States. >> That's right. There you go. >> If Dr. Biden is our first lady, the country will be getting one of the best humans that we have. 225424 >> She has been through some really tough things in her own life, and she knows how hard it can be. JOE BIDNE (ON VIDEO)>> The American people in their heart know that she'll fight like hell for them. JILL BIDEN (VO)>> We all need community. We need to depend on others for our strength. All American families, we all need each other. 225452 >>> And now, please welcome Dr. Jill Biden. JILL BIDEN 225505 JILL BIDEN>> I have always loved the sounds of a classroom. The quiet that sparks with possibility just before students shuffle in. The murmur of ideas bouncing back and forth as we explore the world together. The laughter and tiny moments of surprise you find in materials you've taught a million times. 225528 When I taught English here at brandywine high school, I would spend my summer preparing for the school year about to start, filled with anticipation. But this quiet is heavy. You can hear the anxiety that echoes down empty hallways. There's no scent of new notebooks or freshly waxed floors. 225555 The rooms are dark as the bright young faces that should fill them are now confined to boxes on a computer screen. I hear it from so many of you: the frustration of parents juggling work while they support their children's learning are afraid that their kids might get sick from school. 225619 The concern of every person working without enough protection. The despair in the lines that stretch out before food banks. And the indescribable sorrow that follows every lonely last breath when the ventilators turn off. 225641 As a mother and a grandmother, as an American, I am heartbroken by the magnitude of this loss, by the failure to protect our communities, by every precious and irreplaceable life gone. Like so many of you, Iâ?Tm left asking, â?ohow do I keep my family safe?â?? You know, motherhood came to me in a way I never expected. 225713 I fell in love with a man and two little boys standing in the wreckage of unthinkable loss, mourning a wife and mother, a daughter and sister. I never imagined, at the age of 26, I would be asking myself, â?ohow do you make a broken family whole?â?? Still, Joe always told the boys, â?omommy sent Jill to us. And how could I argue with her?â?? 225746 And so, we figured it out together. In those big moments that would go by too fast -- Thanksgivings and state championships, birthdays and weddings -- in the mundane ones that we didn't even know for shaping our lives -- reading stories piled on the couch, rowdy Sunday dinners and silly arguments, listening to the faint sounds of laughter that would float downstairs as Joe put the kids to bed every night, while I studied for grad school or graded papers under the pale yellow kitchen lamp. The dinner dishes waiting in the sink. 225829 We found that love holds a family together. Love makes us flexible and resilient. It allows us to become more than ourselves, together, and though it can't protect us from the sorrows of life, it gives us refuge -- a home. How do you make a broken family whole? The same way you make a nation whole -- with love and understanding and with small acts of kindness. 225904 With bravery, with unwavering faith. You show up for each other in big ways and small ones, again and again. It's what so many of you are doing right now for your loved ones, for complete strangers, for your communities. There are those who want to tell us that our country is hopelessly divided, that our differences are irreconcilable. But that's not what I've seen over these last few months. 225935 We're coming together and holding onto each other. We're finding mercy and grace in the moments we might have once taken for granted. We're seeing that our differences are precious, and our similarities infinite. We have shown that the heart of this nation still beats with kindness and courage. That's the soul of America Joe Biden is fighting for now. 230010 After our son Beau died of cancer, I wondered if I would ever smile or feel joy again. It was summer, but there was no warmth left for me. Four days after Beau's funeral, I watched Joe shave and put on his suit. I saw him steel himself in the mirror, take a breath, put his shoulders back, and walk out into a world empty of our son. He went back to work. 230046 That's just who he is. There are times when I couldn't even imagine how he did it. How he put one foot in front of the other and kept going. But I've always understood why he did it -- for the daughter who convinces her mom to finally get a breast cancer screening and misses work to drive her to the clinic. For the community college student who has faced homelessness and survived abuse but finds the grit to finish her degree and make a good life for her kids. 230122 For the little boy whose mom is serving as a marine in Iraq, who puts on a brave face in his video call and doesn't complain when the only thing he wants for his birthday is to be with her. For all those people, Joe gives his personal phone number to at rope lines and events. The ones he talks to for hours after dinner, helping them smile through their loss, letting them know that they arenâ?Tt alone. 230154 He does it for you. Joe's purpose has always driven him forward. His strength of will is unstoppable, and his faith is unshakable. Because it's not in politicians or political parties or even in himself -- it's in the Providence of god. His faith is in you, in us. Yes, so many classrooms are quiet right now. The playgrounds are still. But if you listen closely, you can hear the sparks of change in the air. 230238 Across this country, educators, parents, first responders, Americans of all walks of life are putting their shoulders back, fighting for each other. We haven't given up. We just need leadership worthy of our nation -- worthy of you. Honest leadership to bring us back together, to recover from this pandemic and prepare for whatever else is next. 230309 Leadership to reimagine what our nation will be, that's Joe. He and Kamala will work as hard as you do everyday to make this nation better. And if I have the honor of serving as your First Lady, I will, too. And with Joe as President, these classrooms will ring out with laughter and possibility once again. 230340 The burdens we carry are heavy, and we need someone with strong shoulders. I know that if we entrust this nation to Joe, he will do for your family what he did for ours -- bring us together and make us whole, carry us forward in our time of need, keep the promise of America for all of us. [JOE BIDEN ENTERS] 230418 JOE BIDEN>> Hey, everyone. I'm Jill Biden's husband. As you heard tonight you, excuse me, you can see why she's the love of my life and the rock of our family. She never gives herself much credit, but the truth is she's the strongest person I know. She has a backbone like a ramrod. She loves furiously, cares deeply. Nothing stops her when she sets her mind to getting something right. And you know, for all of you out there across the country, just think of your favorite educator who gave you the confidence to believe in yourself. That's the kind of first lady lady, lady, lady, this Jill Biden will be. God love you. 230457 JILL BIDEN>> So go to joebiden.com to join our campaign. JOE BIDEN>> Thank you all for watching.
