- the aisle to bit things done for the American [Applause]
- 12:22
- people and you can see it in her leadership you can see it in her leadership she talks often about this
- 12:27
- and I love it when she says it a mark of leadership is not who you can push down it's who you can lift
- 12:36
- up and of all of the hard things she's done and the difficult decision for
- 12:41
- people she's done what you all know and what you can feel in this room hard work can be good work democracy is a as you
- 12:50
- heard Anthony say is a precious privilege and gift that we need to protect
- 12:59
- and you can do it with joy optimism Grace and happiness you can do
- 13:13
- it I'm proud to be a part of this fight with her I am proud she often times talk
- 13:18
- about it look Tim and I grew up geographically a long ways
- 13:24
- apart from Oakland California to small towns in rural Nebraska
- 13:30
- I grew up in a town now this is I'm when you come from a small town you heard John melan Camp's music playing you out
- 13:36
- small town people I had 24 kids in my graduating class 12 were
- 13:45
- cousins but what you learn is your community is your family you take care of one another you look out for them you
- 13:51
- lift them up KLA Harris says that we didn't grow up in the same place but we grew up around the same people people
- 13:56
- who worked hard for a living people who understand how to pay bills and wanted to see their children get ahead
- 14:01
- understood as Anthony always talks about the power of a teacher and public
- 14:07
- education to make a
- 14:15
- difference servant leadership for the common good those are the things that animated me and those are the things
- 14:22
- that animate kamla Harris now look you have to talk a little bit about
- 14:29
- contrast you have to talk about contrast not everyone not
- 14:35
- every [Applause]
- 14:46
- not not everyone not everyone is going to see the world the same way but there's a sh
- 14:53
- set of core values that we share things that animate our service things that
- 14:59
- Lift us up together now I want to tell you something I you know politics we've been
- 15:06
- in politics we've been in politics we know that there's no expectation that
- 15:12
- there will be 100% agreement on things but there's shared values and the one thing I will tell you a remarkable thing
- 15:18
- happened it's pretty obvious to us that Donald Trump and JD Vance do not share our values in any way they do not share
- 15:25
- our values look it's not even about policies it's about sharing our values
- 15:32
- last week senator from the state of
- 15:38
- Ohio did something really surprising he told an absolute truth in
- 15:46
- this that shouldn't be low bar low bar but um he told the truth he admitted to
- 15:53
- creating stories about people that live in his State immigrant
- 16:01
- amilies to spread fear and drum up hatred to people in his
- 16:07
- community his Republican Governor had to write an oped saying
- 16:13
- none of those things are true about our [Applause]
- 16:24
- community but he says if he can't say these things it's c ship let's
- 16:29
- understand what he's talking about here censorship is when they want to ban books by the way that that's censorship what he did had consequences
- 16:37
- and those consequences was that same Republican Governor had to send state law
- 16:44
- enforcement to escort kindergarteners into their school to
- 16:50
- learn so let's just be clear starting at that point we
- 16:57
- have we can think about and extrapolate from that they're probably not telling the truth about a lot of things if
- 17:03
- they're not telling the truth about that
- 17:09
- now there's always motive I guess if you're going to be generous you could say well I can't
- 17:17
- blame them I can't blame them that they're not telling the
- 17:22
- truth they're not telling the truth [Applause]
- 17:28
- [Music] us us [Applause]
- 17:34
- us USA let's not
- 17:41
- forget let's not forget folks and I said if you're being generous it is
- 17:48
- going elections elections have consequences and let's not forget in this we've got a
- 17:56
- little over 6 weeks to go and it is a binary Choice it is Donald Trump or KLA
- 18:09
- Harris so in in talking about what we want to get and being the big tent we
- 18:16
- are we're generous people in here I said I can almost see you would say well I can kind of see why Donald Trump's not
- 18:22
- telling the truth because if he tells the truth he doesn't get a damn vote
- 18:27
- this is all about about what do you do to get a vote not what's good for America not what's good for our security
- 18:34
- what's not basic human decency they know if they tell the truth they don't get votes so they spread the lies so here's
- 18:41
- the deal you saw it at the debate which can we keep talking a little bit about that
- 18:51
- debate I do want to I do want to say something about the debate which people
- 18:56
- saw people there were people in look some people aren't paying a lot of attention to things yet I know it's hard
- 19:01
- to believe you're engaged in politics but a lot of people were there and I had some people and they meant it as a compliment but listen to how they say
- 19:07
- this and the work we have to do they said my God KLA Harris just did Fabulous she like knew the issues and was she was
- 19:15
- wonderful and she laid things out except she says this they say this to me oh I'm
- 19:20
- so surprised she did that I'm like oh why would you be surprised why would
- 19:26
- you be surprised that this incredibly talented effective compassionate leader
- 19:33
- would be compassionate and leader
- 19:41
- but but what you what you all know is it's what people don't say and it's what
- 19:47
- Donald Trump never says his vocabulary while not hugely
- 19:54
- wide there is one word he's very good at yes someone ER and
- 20:00
- then I saw that I see you there um the one word he knows well is
- 20:06
- I me that's about as far as it goes I me what's good in it for me he didn't say
- 20:11
- anything about how he was going to make life better for the American public he didn't say anything about how it was
- 20:16
- going to impact your family he didn't even say anything how it was going to impact his supporters families because
- 20:22
- of course we're here to make sure the policies we advocate for are good for
- 20:27
- their families Donald
- 20:38
- Trump Donald Trump yesterday called us the enemies I would I would never call
- 20:43
- them the enemy he's an 80-year-old man who's
- 20:49
- wrong who's wrong who has not the interest in this we want to win this
- 20:55
- election as I often times say is you don't win elections to you you don't win elections to find
- 21:01
- yourself in another election you win an
- 21:07
- election to improve people's [Applause]
- 21:18
- lives so again folks binary Choice binary
- 21:26
- Choice Donald Trump or KLA Harris that's what we've got folks and you saw on the stage Donald Trump after 9 years also
- 21:34
- did something that surprised me he at least said he had a concept of a plan for
- 21:42
- healthcare so I taught school for a couple decades and uh that
- 21:52
- would if if I would have gotten that excuse I would have said go back to the drawing board that's not going to work
- 21:58
- that's not going to work but look their concept of the plan is to get rid of the
- 22:03
- Affordable Care Act the very thing think about it the very thing that protects us
- 22:09
- from insurance companies denying our care for a pre-existing condition the very thing that insures your children
- 22:16
- can stay on your health care until they're 26 if you don't think that
- 22:22
- matters if if you don't think that matters in Minnesota we passed a bill called the
- 22:28
- Alex Smith insulin Act and the reason it's called the Alex Smith insulin act because his mom had to come to the
- 22:35
- capital after her son got off their insurance at 26 and then needed to
- 22:41
- ration his insulin Alex Smith died because he couldn't get something that cost drug manufacturers less than $5 to
- 22:47
- manufacture and he was being asked to pay $600 for
- 22:53
- it the Affordable Care acts protect us and KLA Harris is making sure that every single person every single state has
- 22:59
- access to insulin and the drugs they
- 23:09
- need I saw Senator Vance lay out the concept of the plan like this has never
- 23:14
- been tried before well it doesn't make sense that young and healthy people have to have insurance and pay for it because
- 23:21
- they're not sick we should just have pools for sick people do they know how Insurance
- 23:27
- works you pull the risk together so that all of us can get it so when we need it
- 23:32
- our neighbors are
- 23:37
- there just be clear I know it's a bit of preaching to
- 23:43
- the choir and I'm going to get to the part where all the things that we run for but it's important to know they don't have a plan for you there is no
- 23:50
- plan for you and I can't stress this enough this is not a theoretical idea of
- 23:55
- what's Happening here it's very clear you lived under it in Pennsylvania
- 24:00
- Donald Trump wants to talk about some mythical time when he was in office for God's sakes you felt it here he lost
- 24:07
- 275,000 jobs in
- 24:12
- Pennsylvania under vice president Harris 560,000 jobs have come back including
- 24:17
- 29,000 [Applause]
- 24:25
- manufacturing people are reinvesting in this State you saw $500 million by Pratt
- 24:31
- Industries helping two facilities right here in the Lehi Valley get started great
- 24:41
- job and I served in Congress before I was governor and Donald Trump was President so i' I've served when I was
- 24:47
- in Congress when he was president and I've served at Governor so I can tell you what failure looks like I watched him do it I watched him do it every week
- 24:56
- and I was in Congress he was gonna give us infrastructure week infrastructure week well it never
- 25:03
- happened Joe Biden and KLA Harris gave us the infrastructure
- 25:12
- law provided millions of dollars to that airport I just landed at right out there that they're able to invest
- 25:18
- [Applause] in so look she's laying out a plan what
- 25:25
- an opportunity economy looks like we know how this works our economy works best when it's fair we have a saying in
- 25:31
- Minnesota we all do better when we all do
- 25:38
- better she gets it she gets it when the economy is fair and it's not rigged it
- 25:44
- not only works better for all of us it actually works better for the guys who are trying to rig it for God's
- 25:51
- sakes so here's the deal she knows what these things are the fundamental things that people want and we know that hard
- 25:58
- and the economy is there so she's working for real solutions things like home ownership making sure home ownership is Affordable making sure
- 26:05
- we're building 3 million more affordable homes but also helping with down payment assistance and tax credits to make sure
- 26:10
- that
- 26:17
- happens we did it in Minnesota and we're seeing more homes and rents actually went down 4% where is rent going down it
- 26:23
- goes down when you're able to create more housing that's what ends up happening also saw that many of you know
- 26:31
- it's expensive when you have children it's expensive don't we know it and for
- 26:36
- some of you have little children it doesn't get much less expensive as they get older but here's the deal KLA Harris
- 26:42
- is going to make it less expensive she is doing what we've seen when states do it and we saw it during covid pandemic
- 26:48
- she has a child tax credit that's going to put 6,000,000 into the hands of parents that first year buy a crib
- 26:58
- [Applause] think
- 27:03
- of Americans aren't asking for that much they're asking to be left alone they're asking to be able to make a
- 27:10
- decision they're allowing to ask [Applause]
- 27:17
- for if they can get a car seat [Applause]
- 27:29
- [Music] [Applause] passing passing a child tax credit by
- 27:37
- passing a child tax credit you reduce childhood poverty by a
- 27:50
- third and you just saw it this week if you're getting squeezed on prices on
- 27:55
- things like groceries we're talking about taking on price gouging let me
- 28:01
- tell you what that looks like the folks who grow our food the folks who grow our
- 28:07
- food Farmers corn is about 410 a bushel it takes about $5 just to break even
- 28:17
- Farmers aren't getting rich off what's happening right now the folks who are trying to make the
- 28:24
- products that we have aren't but corporate profits have doubled and corporate pay has quadrupled in many
- 28:31
- cases now look we're all for a fair economy we're all for for people making
- 28:37
- it but you can't rig the economy making things more expensive for the very people who are making and growing those
- 28:43
- products that's what she's taking
- 28:51
- on and just this week just this week the Biden Harris Administration is taking
- 28:58
- non big Pharma cuz they're still trying to drive up the price of insulin and overcharge because we don't have a
- 29:03
- national $35 cap on that KLA Harris will make it happen
- 29:11
- absolutely and look we've been able to do a lot of this in Minnesota because what happens when
- 29:18
- you elect people who care about the middle class when you elect people who look like the people who are voting you get policies that help those very people
- 29:25
- whether it's on home ownership whether it's on insulin whe whether it's on a child tax credit or one one of the
- 29:30
- things that we did and I experienced this personally when I was growing up my father got cancer and I watched my mom
- 29:36
- who's a stay-at-home mom barely be able to stay in her home because of the medical bills that nearly destroyed her
- 29:42
- she had to go back and work just to pay down medical bills for about a decade Comm Harris is putting in what we did in
- 29:48
- Minnesota providing relief from that so they can't report you to the credit union they can't charge you outrageous
- 29:53
- credit and they can't bankrupt you
- 30:01
- and for so many of you you want to start your own business she's going to make sure and we saw the proposal on this a
- 30:08
- 10 times larger tax credit and cutting red tape so you start the business and you go on your own and make the way you
- 30:14
- want to of the American dream and
- 30:19
- look in a place like this and we saw it we got an opportunity to pass something
- 30:25
- called the proa and sign it into law now the folks who are hollering out here are
- 30:30
- the folks who understand the purest and the most strongest and the thing that built the middle class was the ability
- 30:36
- to collectively bargain and for form a union with your [Applause]
- 30:49
- neighbors I've been told I've been told that the LA I am for decades a card
- 30:58
- caring Union member of our state's teachers union which I was
- 31:04
- so the last Union member on a national ticket Ronald
- 31:10
- Reagan I promise you I will not lose my way I will not lose my
- 31:17
- way you know what interesting too I was also told that I may teacher working and
- 31:25
- serving as governor that I may be the poorest person who's ever run on a national
- 31:36
- ticket and then and then the Wall Street Journal wrote a story and said well that doesn't tell the whole story he has more
- 31:44
- money than you think he does you think this is a bombshell you know like a North Carolina thing or something I don't know like a bombshell I'm like
- 31:51
- what is the bombshell is he hiding assets offshore or what does he have a trust fund oh no he has a defin benefit
- 31:58
- pension
- 32:03
- plan our wish vice president Harrison my wish is is that every American had a
- 32:10
- defined benefit pension
- 32:17
- plan because at the heart of this this is about freedom to live the life you
- 32:22
- want to to live with dignity whether it's being in retirement starting your own businesses and to choose the life
- 32:28
- you want to live not the government
- 32:33
- now I see some of you I I see some of the older folks here can actually remember and it's like
- 32:40
- telling young young people there was a time when Republicans talk about Freedom
- 32:45
- they actually meant it in the long ago time it feels like because right now when they talk about
- 32:52
- Freedom the freedom of government to be able to invade your bedroom the freedom of government to
- 32:58
- to invade your exam room the freedom of government to invade
- 33:04
- your school libraries and taking look
- 33:10
- they spend a lot of damn time trying to ban books we spend our time in M
- 33:17
- Minnesota Banning hunger by giving free meals to our
- 33:25
- kids now look I'm not not asking us and you hear it
- 33:31
- I'm not asking us all to think the same I'm not asking for an expectation that
- 33:36
- we we all agree my God a successful marriage is 5149 and we're like good we
- 33:42
- get we're close we're good we're on The Winning Side we know how that works and
- 33:47
- we respect other people's decisions that's that's part of being America you respect those decisions now we might not
- 33:54
- make those same decisions we might say I I don't know I'm not going with that but I keep saying I know
- 34:01
- it's here and you know it's an absolute truth the golden rule that makes society and community's function and Family's
- 34:07
- function is mind your own damn
- 34:16
- business I you don't you don't need me you don't need
- 34:22
- me you certainly don't need Donald Trump and JD Vance
- 34:28
- not just not just a
- 34:33
- pine about what type of family you should have but actually trying to legislate what type of family you should
- 34:42
- have so there's people out there and you've seen them you know the names now
- 34:48
- no one should know who Hadley is and no one should know who amand is but those Brave women have put themselves out
- 34:55
- there because they went through what Donald Trump is trying to to do to all the rest of us trying to be involved in our reproductive decisions and for my
- 35:02
- wife and I it's it's nobody's damn business about our family but we've talked about it we've talked about it
- 35:08
- and the re and and the reason we're talking about
- 35:14
- it is because it's so important we tell the story my wife and I and this should be private and personal but they make it
- 35:21
- everybody's damn business that we weren't able to have children and we're dealing with infertility so we were
- 35:27
- lucky enough because I had a union that got me health insurance
- 35:33
- I we were able we were able to have access to those fertility treatments and
- 35:39
- some of you heard me say this and when that daughter was finally born we named her hope because it's the most powerful
- 35:48
- World her and her brother Gus are our whole world that is our decision and the
- 35:55
- things we had to go through make no mistake they're not stopping at abortion access they don't care about the story
- 36:02
- of another Amanda who had to travel from Georgia to North Carolina and then because couldn't get the treatment at
- 36:09
- home ended up dying these are young mothers these are people wanting families whether they want a family or not it's none of their
- 36:15
- damn business but they keep talking about how pro- family they are you know what spend a little less time trying to
- 36:20
- ban books in our schools and try and ban assault weapons in our schools that might be
- 36:36
- so this is about this is about people's personal freedoms it's not about the
- 36:41
- government making these decisions when vice president Harris talks about it we mean you not us I often hear this too
- 36:49
- you do not need your elected officials to give you a sermon but you should damn
- 36:56
- well expect us to try and live one that's not so hard try and have your words match up try and do the best you
- 37:02
- can so when we mean education too we mean a ticket to the middle class not crippling debt for our young people
- 37:09
- that's that's not a giveaway or a handout that's an investment in all of our
- 37:19
- future and a of all the things out there they they want to talk about government
- 37:25
- spending they should because Donald Trump added more more to the national debt than any other president ever so that's just factual but you know how
- 37:31
- they they get in there I always tell this one they they say government doesn't work then they get elected and prove it that's what they do that's what
- 37:39
- they do because they know when they give tax cuts to the wealthy then they can go after things that other people really
- 37:46
- care about like Social Security and Medicare then they can try and claim that the national debt is the fault of
- 37:52
- Social Security and Medicare and I get it they don't give a damn about social security medic why why would they if you
- 37:57
- have a billion dollars you don't worry about social security and Medicare we do my mom does my my
- 38:04
- 89-year-old mom does because that's how she pays for her living expenses it's pretty damn important and oh by the way
- 38:10
- my dad and her worked their whole lives to get that and I'll be damn that if we give a tax cut to
- 38:17
- billionaires and undermine
- 38:24
- that and I'm going to go back I'm I'm going to go back to this thing because being in a school and I was just in
- 38:31
- Georgia last week brand new school year excitement kids going to school dressing
- 38:36
- them up in their best send them off with a sense of Pride those of you with young if some of you in here had sent yours to
- 38:41
- the first day of school that is a core memory that I you are so blessed to be in that moment right now and all of us
- 38:48
- are thinking back to sending our little ones out the door to school and all that with such happiness but now we have to deal with
- 38:54
- this idea not just sending off to school to learn we have to worry that they're going to be shot dead in their
- 39:00
- classroom and I want to be clear about this so that because you know what the retort is on this because by the I'm a
- 39:08
- veteran and a hunter I'm a gun owner and we found out in the debate so was a vice
- 39:14
- president there you go because this is not about the Second
- 39:22
- Amendment but they want to make it about the Second Amendment nobody's trying to take your guns well we're going back
- 39:27
- back to our first responsibility is to keep our children safe that's the
- 39:32
- priority
- 39:37
- so so I just I I struggle with some of this I struggle with this idea that
- 39:45
- after one of these mass shootings Donald Trump said people just need to know how to get over
- 39:52
- it and my opponent said well it's just a fact of life
- 39:58
- [Applause] where do you have to be in your life that that's the first stuff that comes
- 40:04
- out of your mouth after this or the quickly as we know and I know many
- 40:09
- people mean well by it issuing thoughts and prayers how about action and results how
- 40:16
- about that how about action and
- 40:24
- results just be clear KLA Harris and I we believe in the
- 40:29
- American people we believe there's nothing we can't accomplish together Donald Trump and JD Vance ah we just
- 40:36
- can't figure it out well then how the hell did every other country figure it out in the world how did they all figure
- 40:42
- it out cu I don't believe they love their
- 40:47
- children any more than us I believe it's they love their children just like us but they have figured out ways to strike
- 40:54
- a reasonable balance things like we did in Minnesota to have enhanced background
- 40:59
- checks and red flag laws to get guns out of there to make a
- 41:09
- difference and I still got my guns to go shoot pheasants in a couple weeks we still have the opportunity somebody need
- 41:15
- some water we need some
- 41:21
- water can we get a check on them we get someone that VIN you got it thank thank
- 41:27
- you we've got someone there we'll make sure we
- 41:34
- okay getting help well that's what pennsylvanians do they help their neighbors that's what
- 41:40
- it's about so that it's
- 41:47
- hot it's hot get some water okay we'll get some water it is
- 41:53
- hot I yeah so thank you all and again I'll go back to this uh I appreciate you being here make sure you're drinking
- 41:59
- water take care of the people next to you um that gave me good advice speed up so there we go um good
- 42:06
- so I'll bring her home here quick folks look KLA Harris made it clear these guys
- 42:12
- want to instill fear they want to tell you that just get over it it's a fact of life this is the way it is she simply
- 42:19
- has said it doesn't have to be this way it doesn't have to be this way we can't
- 42:25
- afford we can't afford four more years of this and I've
- 42:31
- been saying it this project 2025 isn't it funny to watch these guys oh never heard of it in my
- 42:37
- life they even saw it never never knew never did whatever I've been saying this as a 900 pages of it I said as a
- 42:45
- football coach when you take the time to draw up a Playbook you're going to use it they drew up the Playbook they know
- 42:53
- but I want to tell you something it's what and how they think about this this
- 42:58
- my opponent Senator Vance had a quote that that you you read it and you hear it gloss over it but think about how
- 43:06
- deeply disturbing this is he said that when they get power and they will use
- the project 2025 they need to be ruthless when it comes to the exercise of
- power who says ruthless in the exercise of power who's running for a
- democratically elected position
- this is not about power this is about public
- service this is not about power it's about
- governing so when they mean ruthless ruthless means tax cuts for billionaires
- once again that drove up our national debt now here's what something really interesting I saw
- when the announcement came that the work that's done by Joe Biden and KLA Harris
- 44:03
- to start taming inflation to start finally seeing gas prices come down to start for this week a reduction in oh
- thank you
- guys we [Applause] saw we saw Senator
- Vance lead an audience when he said well they reduced interest rates this week
- how terrible is that and he got the crowd booing who boost for lower interest
- [Applause]
- rates venture capitalist apparently because people who want to pay a mortgage or want to get student
- loan whatever it might be care about that so look we get it you know what's out there and I get you come here we're
- 45:00
- rallied up we get it I understand very clearly we're preaching to the choir but I'll go back before I end this to remind
- you when we named our daughter hope we did it because it was the most powerful word in the universe but as my my wife
- the English teacher the non-nonsense midwestern Lutheran
- um my my wife reminds us hope is not a d plan we don't hope we're going to beat
- Donald Trump we don't hope that we're going to tackle climate change we don't hope that we're going to end school
- shootings we create a plan to do
- it and the privilege we have we have an opportunity to turn the page and choose
- a new generation of leadership a new way forward
- all right you've been here it's hot uh preaching to the choir but boy the choir
- 46:04
- needs to sing louder than
- ever busy jobs busy lives football games
- to watch all kinds of things and I'll often tell people I know it and they'll
- tell me look and you heard Anthony say it we were talking he goes ah
- just didn't know I I'm not really into politics my response to that is too damn bad politics is into you literally
- literally your health care your schools educ your child's education all Freedom
- all of the things you care about so look 45 days to the election October
- 21st October 21st is the last day to register in
- Pennsylvania here's my quick Pro tip do what Minnesota did Same Day registration
- 47:01
- by the way same day registration that up there but here it is it's all on the
- line 45 days not just for the next four years but for the next 40
- years 40 45 days to bring joy back to our
- politics 45 days to say we are not satisfied with putting cracks in the glass ceiling
- we're pushing president Harris through the
- glass so so all gas no breaks sleep when

- United States says when we fight we win
