- Governor walls just gave what I think is
- the best speech he's given yet he gave
- the speech in Eerie Pennsylvania before
- a packed crowd and here Governor walls
- talks about an old expression in
- politics play this clip I did see this
- that Donald Trump was uh was in
- Pennsylvania was he not last night
- [Music]
- Harrisburg here's there's a saying in
- politics if you're explaining you're
- losing but I want to say this I did
- watch part of it last night 11 times 11
- times Donald Trump explained to us that
- he wasn't
- [Applause]
- weird
- okay okay I didn't say
- it I didn't say it I think I think we
- might be getting under the skin there a
- little bit but look when I said that I
- this isn't about name calling or
- anything I was pointing out it's it it's
- weird to be obsessed with people
- 1:00
- personal lives it's weird to be obsessed
- with people's healthare choices it it
- it's weird to continue to talk about
- sharks and batteries and boats and
- things like that then Governor wall said
- that he noticed that Donald Trump was
- taking some time off on Labor Day here
- play this clip so it doesn't surprise me
- that Donald Trump did not do a damn
- thing on Labor Day He took the day off
- which he should thank organized labor
- for that day
- off I I if I were him I would be hiding
- down in Mara Lago too I wouldn't want to
- face working people I wouldn't want to
- look them in the eye and tell them why
- their work doesn't matter why it should
- be harder to unionize why he and his
- folks have undermined Middle America
- look people are angry for a reason and
- this project 2025 thing I got to tell
- you this they're they're trying to run
- from it they continue to try and deny it
- 2:00
- but here's what I've said very simply on
- this I coach football for enough years
- to know if you take the time to make a
- Playbook you're going to use it you're
- going to use it so they took the time to
- do it and I will say this JD Vance talks
- about being
- [Applause]
- from look look he should know he he he
- talks about where he came from he talks
- about where he was at but I'll have to
- tell you he did say this he said there's
- a lot of angst and people are angry in
- Middle America hell yes we are because
- people like him gutted Middle America
- the bankers and the robber barons got at
- Middle America they shipped our jobs
- out so look you go off to Yale you get a
- philosophy major you write a
- best-selling book trash the very people
- you grew up with just don't come back to
- Erie and tell us how to run our lives
- don't do that don't do
- that then Governor wall says that Donald
- Trump seems to be obsessed with AI here
- 3:00
- play this clip you
- uh here you might know uh a while back
- Donald Trump said these Crowds Are All
- AI you know what's not AI you're votes
- that's what's not
- AI good to be back in Pennsylvania
- everybody Governor walls then talks
- about project 2025 play this
- clip so you know we can't afford four
- more years of this
- guy what I will say is good about this
- one is he's been very clear about this
- he's promised to pick up right where he
- left off the last
- time but I will say this he's learned a
- little something and it's going to be
- much much worse if he gets the
- opportunity what's really good is we
- don't have to guess what he's going to
- do because they wrote it out in a 900
- page manual called project
- [Applause]
- 2025 this is where you know film this
- 4:00
- one or whatever so you tell your
- relatives because look we all got them
- we know we got to keep talking to them
- he said what he would do and I believe
- him he kept his promise on this it's one
- thing he said he kept his promise he's
- going to cut taxes for the Rich his
- tariffs will have a $4,000 a year tax
- hike on all of you there's not a single
- Economist in the country or any Banker
- anybody else who knows anything about
- economics does not believe the tariffs
- he's proposing will not fall right on
- you in the products that you buy it's
- exactly the way it worked that's just
- facts um he said said he'd clean out all
- the experts in government all the
- dedicated public servants who don't
- serve the elected officials they serve
- you he's going to clean them out and put
- his loyalist in to make sure they do
- that and just to be clear just to be
- clear I know he's a little confused on
- this issue about women's rights to make
- their own
- choices but I want to be very clear he
- does not trust women but women do not
- trust him he will ban abortion
- 5:02
- and and and here's the thing cutting
- taxes for the wealthy taking away your
- personal bodily autonomy uh making it
- more difficult for the middle class
- raising the cost of insulin the question
- I keep asking and I want Republicans and
- I want Donald Trump and JD Vance to
- answer who the hell is asking for this
- agenda who's asking for that
- agenda I don't think those folks
- standing out here in the Red Hats want
- that agenda because it's damn sure going
- to hurt them no one's asking no one's
- asking so here's a deal
- um he openly says these things that we
- need to talk to our relatives about and
- all of you know I need to talk to my
- relatives too trust me on
- this nothing makes you more middle
- Midwestern than having your family be on
- this stuff but look they're talking
- about s cutting Social Security and
- Medicare repealing the Affordable Care
- Act and protections like this and I keep
- saying this repealing and and in
- destroying Social Security and Medicare
- 6:02
- if you're a billionaire you don't give a
- damn about social security or
- Medicare if you're my mom who has to pay
- her heat bill and her food with it it
- matters a
- lot the vast majority of people care
- about this they care about it and I'm
- going to give a big shout out you saw
- AFL CIO up here you saw teachers union
- you saw Building Trades up
- here look we know who built America it
- was union labor built America Governor
- walls then addresses the shooting that
- took place in Georgia play the
- clip and yeah we believe in the freedom
- to send our kids to school without being
- shot dead in the
- [Applause]
- hall the news cycle moves on within a
- day when what we saw yesterday down in
- Georgia kids going to school the first
- week of school
- excited now we have four dead so our
- 7:01
- hearts go out to the two students and
- the two teachers who were killed their
- families be mourning there's many
- injured in Winder and that Community
- will never be the
- same I said this in all of you here both
- as a as a teacher and as a student and
- as a dad I loved back to school season
- time of Hope
- excitement now for those kids it'll
- always be a time of sheer Terror and
- that'll be a memory that they'll hold
- forever and it's a reminder the rest of
- the country um we've got work to do and
- I for one am sick and tired of hearing
- about thoughts and prayers rather than
- actually doing something
- about and I I say this to all of you I
- know guns I'm a veteran I'm a Hunter but
- we can't let them make this just about
- the Second Amendment I defend the Second
- Amendment but our first responsibility
- is to keep our kids safe
- 8:00
- yesterday vice president Harris said it
- doesn't have to be this way and I can
- tell all of you of someone who's owned
- guns my whole life and
- hunted I can tell you I can remember it
- with such Clarity I sat in my office in
- DC when I was a member of Congress and
- it was shortly after the Sandy Hook
- massacre and I sat in there with all
- those parents and at that point in time
- I was I was an NRA guy um that's many of
- us grew up with that that they were gun
- safety and I was the only one who took
- the meeting with them they tried to get
- meetings with people who wanted to do
- this to sit in there and listen to these
- parents I think about it today my son
- this week started his senior year of
- high
- [Applause]
- school thank
- you thank you and it's bittersweet for
- me because
- um those killed at Sandy Hook would have
- been entering their senior Year too at
- the same time and those parents now
- without those so look Governor walls
- 9:02
- talked about the commitment of the crowd
- being there on the same night as NFL
- kick off play the clip look there are a
- million places you could be with your
- time your talent and your treasure you
- came out here you came out here to stand
- next to neighbors some friends some new
- folks you met you came out here my God
- it's two hours from kickoff people and
- you came out here for the NFL season but
- you came out here as the vice president
- always says for a simple and beautiful
- reason you love this country that's why
- you came that's why you
- [Applause]
- came and I am incredibly grateful for it
- but look I always uh some of you know
- and I I got to tell you I'm just going
- to go ahead and say the coach signs warm
- my heart thank you they warm my heart
- lot of
- 10:01
- years I I tell people never close the
- yearbook that state championship is as
- fresh today as it was 25 years ago but
- the great thing about it is is teaching
- coaching everything it's that first week
- the new start the opportunities to a new
- season everything's fresh clean State
- anything's possible all the things are
- there we're all undefeated at this point
- in time with the opportunity to build
- something better for ourselves that's
- what it is to build something
- better so I think all of you are here
- and you feel it and for the young people
- are here look between the last election
- Co and the last nine years of this
- nonsense after that guy came down a gold
- escalator they've tried to they've tried
- to tell you that this can't be joyful
- this can't be fun this can't be hopeful
- this can't be positive about the future
- well we reject that and it took KLA
- Harris to come onto the scene to tell us
- this is a joyful thing we're doing this
- is hopeful
- 11:00
- by the way Mark cubin called in to uh
- the business Channel and here Mark cubin
- talked about how vice president kamla
- Harris has been giving some of the most
- Pro bus speeches he's heard this
- election season or perhaps ever play
- this clip I mean literally if you read
- the transcript of her speech yesterday
- she's talked more about entrepreneurs
- and helping them um have access to
- investment and making it easier for
- people to invest in startups then right
- any any president that I've ever heard
- talk about startups and entrepreneurs so
- literally she listens right this is not
- something where it's just her policy
- team comes out and says Mark you know or
- whoever let's hope this works no she's
- like list list me things you think we
- should be talking about you're the
- entrepreneur you invest in more startups
- than anybody I know what you think we
- should be doing and what's going to
- increase the number of of investments in
- startups and I've had other
- conversations with their team where it's
- like I literally go through and say the
- higher the capital gain STX the more
- 12:02
- difficult it is to invest in riskier
- Investments and the people who have the
- hardest time getting risk Capital are
- women people of color you know young
- kids that are coming out of colleges
- exactly the people you want to take risk
- on the higher the cap Gaine rate the
- harder it is to invest in them for
- obvious reasons and they understand that
- and they've adapted as a result then
- here's Stephen Curry on uh endorsing
- kamla Harris play this clip we made a
- surprise appearance at the DNC that I
- wanted to ask you about endorsing KL
- Harris I think we do have a a clip of it
- if we could just
- play what's up everybody Stephen Curry
- here I know you all know I play for the
- gold State Warriors but man what a great
- honor it was to represent Team USA and
- go out there and win that gold medal at
- the Olympics this summer and that Unity
- on and off the court reminded us all
- that together we can do all things and
- continue to inspire the world that's why
- 13:01
- I believe that kamla as president could
- bring that Unity back and continue to
- move our country forward this is about
- preserving hope and belief in our
- country making sure families can be
- taken care of during the most precious
- times what was the reaction to that and
- why did why was that so important for
- you to do the reaction was great there's
- also obviously a lot of noise uh in
- terms of anytime you step into this Lane
- you know um it's going to be received uh
- you know in a lot of different ways and
- I for me it's all about creating
- conversations that are about being
- decent human beings first and foremost I
- think we've lost that a little bit to
- where um obviously endorsing comma is
- important for me for my family um why
- what are the issues you care about most
- say what what are the issues you care
- about uh I just know from especially
- women's rights and thinking about you
- know what's at stake with this election
- um and understanding like we need to be
- in a position where women have the right
- 14:00
- to choose what's right for them and
- that's at the top of the list for me I
- have amazing women in my life who you
- know been a a huge inspiration to me uh
- but knowing kamla and and having been
- around her um and understand she's
- qualified for this job she's uh I think
- representing what it means to be a great
- leader and being a decent human being in
- terms of representing our country the
- right way so it's it's easy choice for
- me but to be able to have a be in a
- situation where you can be a part of DNC
- do a video like that um you know let
- people know where I feel like but Foster
- positive conversations you know through
- it all I think that's what our country
- is keep you posted as we learn more here
