And the crowd was especially fired up when former President Barack Obama passed the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris. Watch this incredible moment. Let's play it. Just take a look, too, of this image 17 years apart. Vice President Kamala Harris there on the left. You see former President Barack Obama, then President Obama.
Starting point is 00:02:43 And take a look at them there today. And in a throwback to President Barack Obama, Vice President Kamala Harris led the crowd in that chant, yes, we can. Take a look. And make no mistake, we will win. We will win. We will win. Or as a certain former president would say, yes, we can. Vice President Kamala Harris also talked about what her closing message is. She's got a to-do list, how she wants to help the American people while Donald Trump will be stewing over his enemies list. A brilliant closing message. Play this clip.
Starting point is 00:03:48 So America, there is a huge contrast in this election. Just imagine, just imagine the Oval Office in three months. Picture it in your mind. It is either. So, but there's a choice that everybody has. So let's imagine it for a moment. It's either Donald Trump in there stewing, stewing over his enemies list. Or me working for you, checking off my to-do list.
Starting point is 00:04:28 You have the power to make that decision. It is your power. It is your power. And it's clearly a closing message that is resonating because with each stop Vice President Kamala Harris is going on, she's picking up bigger's led and Donald Trump has, well, I guess, been a part of in the past 24 hours. Let's take a negative. going back to vice president kamala harris's speech in dekab here she talks about how donald trump was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Play this clip. And unlike Donald Trump, who had $400 million served to him on a silver platter and still managed to file for bankruptcy six times. He talks about being a good businessman. Come on.
Starting point is 00:06:30 Unlike him, I grew up in a middle class neighborhood with a working mother who kept a strict budget and did everything she could to make sure my sister and I had all that we needed. Vice President Kamala Harris talks about her background and how she is uniquely qualified to prosecute felons like Donald Trump. Play the clip. So Atlanta, before I was vice president of the United States, before I was the United States senator, and before that a two-term attorney general for the state of California, and before that a district attorney and a courtroom prosecutor.
Starting point is 00:07:04 And in those roles, I took on perpetrators of all kinds. Predators, fraudsters, and repeat offenders. I took them on, and I won. Well, Georgia, in 12 days, it's Donald Trump's turn. choices you can make for their health. A whole fresh food diet has been proven to extend your dog's life by two and a half years.

So listen, so much is on the line in this election. And this is not 2016 or 2020. The stakes are even higher because over the last years, and in particular the last eight years, Donald Trump has become more confused, more unstable, and more angry. You see it every day. He has become increasingly unhinged.
Starting point is 00:09:53 But last time, at least there were people around him who could control him. But do notice in this election, they're not with him this time. In fact, just this week, America heard from John Kelly, a retired four-star Marine general who was Trump's White House chief of staff, who said that as president, Trump praised Hitler.
Starting point is 00:10:27 Take a moment to think about what that means. That Trump said, quote, Hitler did some good things. And that Trump wished he had generals like Hitler's who would be loyal to Trump and not to America's Constitution. This is not 2016 and it is not 2020. Including because just a few months ago, the United States Supreme Court told the former president that he is effectively immune no matter what he does in the White House. Now just imagine Donald Trump with no guardrails. He who will claim unchecked and extreme power if he is re-elected. Who has vowed
Starting point is 00:11:19 that he will be a dictator on day one. who calls Americans who disagree with him, I'm going to quote, the enemy from within. You know what that harkens back to? He's calling Americans the enemy within who says that he would use the military to go after them, and he who has called for the, quote, termination of the Constitution of the United States. Let us be very clear. Someone who suggests we should terminate the Constitution of the United States of America should never again stand behind the seal of the President of the United States of America.
Starting point is 00:12:17 Never again. Never again. We're not going back. We're not going back. We're not going back. We're not going back. Vice President Kamala Harris then talks about the importance of restoring Roe v. Wade as the law of the land. Play this clip. He refuses to even acknowledge the pain and the suffering he has caused. He insists that, quote, everybody wanted for Roe v. Wade to be overturned. Which is just a further example of how out of touch the man is.
Starting point is 00:13:12 Everybody wanted this. Women are being denied care during miscarriages, some only being treated once they develop sepsis. They didn't want this. Couples just trying to grow their family have been cut off in the middle of IVF treatments. They didn't want this. Women have died because of these bans, including a young mother of a six-year-old son right here in Georgia. Her family is here with us tonight, and we speak her name, Amber Nicole Thurman. And you all have heard me say, look, I do believe Donald Trump to be an unserious man. And the consequences of him ever being president again are brutally serious. These are just some of the consequences of the Trump abortion bans and what he does and what he's likely to do. And I pledge to you when Congress passes a bill to restore reproductive freedom nationwide,
Starting point is 00:14:26 as President of the United States, I will proudly sign it into law. Proudly. Before Vice President Kamala Harris spoke, you had former President Barack Obama. Here's what he had to say. You know, not a good thing in politics when you praise Hitler like Donald Trump does. Play this clip. The other day, General John Kelly, Donald Trump's former chief of staff, said that Trump told him he wanted his generals to be like Hitler's generals. Now, don't boo. Vote.
Starting point is 00:15:13 Now, I want to explain that in politics, a good rule of thumb is don't say you want to do anything like Hitler. You know, that's just good political advice. Former President Barack Obama talks about how Donald Trump was so ego focused on everything. He had to have his name on checks to make it about him, not we the people. Here, play the clip. You can't give him credit for that. And then I hear the other thing I hear. Some folks will be like, well, Donald Trump sent me a check during the pandemic. No, no, no. Y'all know because I've heard this. I know y'all, some of you heard that. Hey, let me let me let me make sure y'all heard this. I know y'all, some of you heard that.
Starting point is 00:16:09 Hey, let me, let me, let me make sure y'all understand this. Joe Biden sent you a check during the pandemic. Just like I gave people relief during the great recession. The thing is we didn't put our name on it because it wasn't about feeding our egos. It wasn't about advancing our politics. It was about helping people. That's the difference. Don't be giving them credit for that. Come on. They sent you a check. Do not fall for that okie doke. Don't be bamboozled. Don't get fooled.
Starting point is 00:16:54 And Obama talked about how more people, hundreds of thousands of people, potentially even more, would be alive if there was a competent administration when Donald Trump was in office. Play the clip. And I'm going to give you another example. When I was president, we put together an entire playbook for how to deal with a pandemic because we had dealt with Ebola. We had dealt with the H1N1 virus. We put together a plan and we practiced and we had all the agencies in terms of how you're going to do with the schools and how we're going to do with public health agencies. We put it all together. And when Donald Trump came in, we gave him that playbook and he, I guess, dropped it in the dustbin. Three years later, a pandemic hit. And I want to be fair. Listen to me now.
Starting point is 00:17:51 No matter who was president, the pandemic was going to be a huge crisis. People were going to get sick. People were going to die. Businesses were going to close. There'd be travel restrictions. It was a once in a hundred year event. but if you look at a country like Canada the per capita death rate during COVID was 60 percent lower than it was here in the United States so you do the math over a million people died during the pandemic here in the U.S. 60 percent of a over a million that's 600,000 people. That's grandparents. That's aunts. That's uncles. Parents. Coworkers. Friends. Everybody
Starting point is 00:18:32 here was touched by it. Some people might have been alive if we had had a competent administration who was paying attention and trying to do things better instead of talking about injecting bleach into your arm now you remember that if somebody tells you it doesn't make a difference it will not make things perfect but it does make a difference to have somebody who is confident somebody who sees you somebody who respects you somebody who is confident, somebody who sees you, somebody who respects you, somebody who cares about you, somebody who understands your dreams. Another great speaker at this event in DeKalb,
Starting point is 00:19:12 Tyler Perry, talked about his story. Here, play this clip. I'm the kind of American who believes that poll workers should do their civic duty without being harassed and threatened like Ruby Freeman and Shay Moss in Fulton County. And I'm not the kind of American that glories in, enjoys, laughs at, or celebrates an 80-year-old man being hit with a hammer because his wife is in politics and you don't agree with her. And two things can be true at once. I am not the kind of man that Glory's End celebrates, enjoys, or laughs at a 78-year-old former president almost meeting his death at an assassin's bullet in Butler's, Pennsylvania. It's not right. It's about decency, America, and I think you agree with me. But I am the kind of American that believes if you lose an election that you honor the constitutional peaceful transfer of power
Starting point is 00:20:30 and judging by your reaction i believe kamala is right we have more in common than what separates us as i'm here tyler perry also talks about how government should not control women's reproductive rights. Play the clip. I'm the kind of man that believes, I'm the kind of man that believes that the government nor a man should be telling a woman what she can and cannot do with her body. And here Tyler Perry talks about whether it's the Central Park Five or Project 2025, Donald Trump, for Donald Trump, what his dream is, is American carnage to hurt Americans, to kill Americans. Here, play the clip. But I also believed in an American dream. And when I was coming here to Georgia, I was looking for inspiration. And there was this show
Starting point is 00:21:38 called Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. And there was a man on there that I really admired. I looked up to. He had a helicopter and his name was on hotels all over the place. He was a man on there that I really admired I looked up to he had a helicopter and his name was on hotels all over the place he was hold on just a second let me get through this so you hear what I'm saying young black men admired him because his name was in rap lyrics so when I first started making a little money the first thing I did was checked into the Trump Hotel because I wanted to feel that specialness. But then I started to do my research. Research is important. Truth is important.
Starting point is 00:22:14 Facts are important. I found out about a discrimination lawsuit against he and his father because they didn't want people like me in their building. I found out about him taking a full page ad out on young black men in the New York Times. I found out about the birther lie. We all heard it, saying that Barack Obama was not born in this country. There are undertones there and there are echoes there that we all had to pay attention to. So I watched him when he won the presidency. I watched him say that there were good people on both sides when neo-Nazis were screaming Jews will not replace us. I watched him from the Central Park Five to Project 2025. And what I realize is that in this Donald Trump America, there is no dream that looks like me.
Starting point is 00:23:15 We want a president who believes that this American dream is for everyone. And that president is Kamala Harris. Also, Senator Raphael Warnock gave a rousing speech as he always does. He says that, who are we as people? That's one of the things that's going to be tested this election. Here's the thing. We already know who Donald Trump is. That's not what this election is about. It's about who are we. I still believe that the American people at the end of the day are going to embrace that age-old American covenant,
Starting point is 00:24:09 E Pluribus Unum, out of many one, because we know that we stand together. That we are connected. That we need each other. That we need our neighbors. That there are not enemies within. We may have differences of opinion. Oh, and one of my other favorite parts of the speech, Samuel L. Jackson, here's what he had to say. Let's play. All right. They say you can always tell a Morehouse man, but you can't tell him much. But you can trust a Morehouse man to tell you the truth.
Starting point is 00:24:52 Georgia, here's what we have to say to those who would doubt our voice, doubt our power, doubt our vote. This party's over. Like my brother Spike's going to tell you, we've been turning out, we've been turning up, but we can't stop now. Georgia, we got 12 days to choose which way our country is to go from here, which way our future is going to go from here. That's why I'm so fired up to be here with y'all. And that's why I'm so proud to support our next president I think is very prophetic of all of the elections we've seen since the insurrection from Connor Haffen. Take a look at what he said. He goes, you post this, by the way, January 9th, 2021.
Starting point is 00:25:59 I think the biggest problem with Republicans and the suburbs right now and probably going forward is that suburban voters hate weird shit. And things on the Republican side of the aisle because of Trump have gotten especially effing weird. Speaking about that, Donald Trump called into some News Nation town hall with J.D. Vance to say this. Play the clip. And I do have a question and I think it'll be quite an interesting one. Vance to say this. Play the clip. And I do have a question, and I think it'll be quite an interesting one. The answer should be easy. How brilliant is Donald J. Trump? And at Donald Trump's disastrous speech in Tempe, Arizona. Donald Trump said that America is a garbage can. That's Donald Trump's closing message. America is a garbage can. Play the clip.
Starting point is 00:26:51 Right. And we're a dumping ground. We're like a garbage can for the world. That's what's happened. That's what's happened to us. We're like a garbage can. You know, it's the first time I've ever said that. And every time I come up and talk about what they've done to a country, I get angrier and angrier. First time I've ever said garbage can, but you know what? It's a very accurate description. Well, there you have it, folks. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe, get to 4 million.
