Years, peoplefour have asked me when others are going so low, does going hi still work . High isr is that going the only thing that works. The we go low, when we use same tactics of degrading and dehumanizing others, we become part of the ugly noise that is drowning out everything else. We degrade ourselves, we degrade the causes for which we fight. Lets be clear. Going hi does not mean putting on a smile and say nice things when confronted by viciousness and cruelty. Going high means taking the harder path. It means scraping and clawing our way to that mountaintop. Going high means standing fierce against hatred while remembering we are one nation under god, and if we want to survive, we have to find a way to live together and Work Together across our differences. Means unlocking the. Hackles of lies and mistrust the only thing that can truly set us free. The cold, hard truth. Let me be as honest and clear as i possibly can. Donald trump is the wrong president for our country. He has had more than enough time to prove he can do the job, but he is clearly in over his head. He cannot meet this moment. He simply cannot be who we need him to be for us. It is what it is. Host that from last night. We will show you other portions of those speeches from last night.

Oasi wasi the reserve money until 2024. Relates to last nightss activities at the convention . Caller it was a bunch of rhetoric, bunch of hoopla. , and yes,chelle obama she will stand by her husband. Things,d do some good but he really did not. Bernie sanders wants to push it so far to the left, and he got joe biden to slide in because the man had two aneurysms in the brain that were operated on. Did you people know that . After that the medical science says he will go ahead and become delusional, sometimes, maybe not. Some of the comments from last night. Lets go to mitchell in new jersey, supportive joe biden. Go ahead. Caller good morning. I watched most of the convention and i thought it was effective messaging. I do not know that it moves the needle for anybody. I do not know that any of the conventions well. I think most of us have gone into our respective corners and we are fairly well entrenched. Our minds are made up. We have laid down the gauntlet and we are sprinting towards the elections. I do not know that it will change. Sanders wasbernie probably the most effective speaker last night. Of course Michelle Obama was also o. I do not know how this changes us. There is not much of a middle to capture in terms of people undecided. I do not know that a lot of the people on either side need to be coaxed more. Host when it comes to Bernie Sanders, do you think he did an effective job in supporting joe biden enough to bring over those supporters who supported him initially and might be hesitant about joe biden . Caller i think he was as effective as he could be. I am a Center Supporter myself, i am a Bernie Sanders supporter myself, but i do not understand the whotant sanders supporters do not vote and walk away from all this. I think he tried to center them. His communication was effective. Host jessica in maryland. A supporter of joe biden. Youre up next. Caller something that most affected me was listening to Michelle Obamas speech. Have not been extremely involved in politics, but i have seeingry disheartened the division in our country and i want anything to happen to bring everybody back together and see more positive things in this world. Listening to her talk about that made a difference for me. Do you plan to watch all four nights . Caller yes. Host aside from joe biden, is there a particular person you are interested in hearing from . I am finding it is becoming more important to listen more and be more proactive in politics and i will try to do that. I would encourage other people to do that. Bob, victoria, texas, undecided. Talking about last nights first night of the Democratic National convention. Go ahead. Caller good morning. I wonder. They did not show anything about the riots in the killing of police and this that in the other. They talk eloquently, yes, but to me what i am seeing is a bunch of salesman trying to sell heaters to somebody in hell. They are doing a pretty good job of it. People need to wake up and start looking at these riots and all the stuff going on in this pledged tot trump fix. I am not sure i can stand another night of this. It looks like it was graded by hollywood. Host you classify yourself as undecided. You sound pretty decided. Not anything at this point. I cannot get any truth out of anybody of what is going on good i hope people wake up i cannot get any truth out of anybody of what is going on. A lot of people do not see what is going on in this country. It is heartbreaking to see our country go down the drain. Host lets go to jane in brooklyn, new york. A supporter of joe biden.
