Im tom this has been an incredible week. It has not been the kind of convention you might have been expecting. And to be honest, it was not the kind of convention we had planned for. Seenn a way, what we have over the last three nights and what we will see tonight is a more accurate reflection of where our country is than any traditional convention could have been. Yes, we have talked a lot about her next president and Vice President , joe biden and Kamala Harris, we have talked about how they will tackle the challenges we have faced and leader country to a brighter future. We have seen that our party is ready to lead. Not just now, but under the next generation. Even thinkmight not of themselves as political. Workers in college students, workers and the migrants, teachers, nurses, and yes, the occasional culinary chef. Togetherbrought us this year is not partisanship, it is purpose. That is what has allowed us to bring both diehard progressives in conservative republicans under the thing tend. Thats what has allowed us to build a campaign where no state, no precinct, no vote is taken for granted. That is how we build our movement. That is how we win up and on the ballot. That is how we make change. When we can bring that kind of energy to the challenges our nation faces, well, there is nothing we cant accomplish. Just ask joe biden, who set his sights on a mission who could change the world forever. Conquering cancer. We chose to go to the moan moon not because it is easy, but because it is hard. Shines, the new moon america can cure cancer. I have put joe in charge of mission control. Joe biden succumbed to bring cancer saturday at the age of 46. He is the one who wanted me to stay. He was worried i would not continue to fight through the things i am passionate about. Im trying to keep his promise. The moan shot is a symbol of american achievement. Shot is a symbol of american achievement. It will be led by joe his aim at ending the disease that killed Vice President s son and 600,000 other americans every year. Think all the people have gone through what i have gone through without 1 10 the help and i have had. When you have someone you adore, you become as educated as you can knowing it is a very serious form. I learned a lot about the mechanics of cancer and the delivery systems. There are so many changes. I have no met with over 200 oncologists and Cancer Research centers, and i am asking them, what is it you want me to clear the way for . Where are we an impediment . He is determined. He is not going to walk away until there is real change. Actually this is a truly bipartisan issue. The leaders in this effort a republicans as well as democrats. Hes been pushed to the edge of what anyone could be expected to bear. You are a man of substance. You have experienced tragedies in your life. And we are inspired by the way that you have responded to those. The family in america has been affected by every Single Family in america has been affected by cancer, and we are so close. Lets be the country that hears cancer once and for all kiers cancer once and for all cures cancer once and for all. I know we can do this. There are so many breakthroughs just on the horizon. We can make them real. With an absolute national commitment. With democrats and republicans on the hill who share our passion to silence this deadly disease. I want to be the president that ended cancer, because it is possible. I am amanda litman. On may, 2017, i was invited to join a small meeting in bc with a handful of other Organization Leaders and give updates. I tried to play equal. My grandmother would be furious that i was at a meeting with you and did not get a photo. Lets call her. I told her, someone wants to talk to you. Grammy, this is joe biden. She was overwhelmed. Sick. S really posture changed immediately. He said i am so sorry. As a parent, you should never have to think about oneday day burying a child. It is a nightmare. About pain.

He just gets it. My Family Matters to him. I entire country is grieving. We are all going through trauma. Our next president needs to be the one helping us heal. To votewhy i am glad this fall not just against trump, but genuinely for joe biden. Before we continue with tonights program, i want to thank everyone who has made this Unprecedented Convention possible. For our delegates and speakers, to party staff and production teams, next week, you will it will be the Republican Party sent to hold their convention. On behalf of their speakers and stuff, i hope their organizers will take safety as seriously as we have. That will be up to you, america. You will have heard from two very different candidates for president. You will be able to dig into the details of their respective plans for solving the challenges we face and decide which plan you think will work for you and your family. But the choice this year is deeper than that. No matter what you think about donald trump or joe biden, no matter which party you belong to, or whether you blunt to any party at all, your job in this election is to decide what kind of movement is capable of being the vehicle for the change we need. Do we do better when we join together in a movement of shared values, one that amplifies our Diverse Voices . We have got one morning to show forwardwhat our path looks like. Not one man boasting that he alone can fix it, but every day, people coming together to face our challenges with unity and determination. Now, we turn to one example, californias fight against the dangerous wildfires raging throughout the state. Please, welcome governor, gavin newsom. Newsom this is not where i expected to be speaking here tonight. I am 300 miles or so from wildfires we are battling in the state of california. We are just coming off a record week, a heat wave that led to 130 degree temperatures. Highest and purchase ever recorded in california. Arguably, the worlds history here in our state. The hot so getting hotter, the dries are dryer, Climate Change is real. The hots are getting hotter, the dries are getting dryer. Climate change is real. It is an extra ordinary moment in our history. Mother nature has now joined this conversation. Around Climate Change. So we need to advance that conversation a new. Anew. The president of the medassets threatened the president of the United States threatened to defund our processionwildfire because we have not rigged enough leaves. Lawsuits on clean air, pesticides,. There is so much at stake in this election. None more important than the work joe biden did with barack vehicle emissions standards, fuel efficiency standards. There is so much at stake in this election. Uld to express my deep admiration for joe biden and Kamala Harris, for their faith, their devotion, there commitment their commitment, not just of the environment, but to the commonwealth. Kidsr kids come our kids to our kids, our kids kids. I want to close by reminding each and every one of you, the future is not something to experience, it is something to manifest. Let us resolve that after this historic night, this incredible week, this remarkable convention, that we do everything in our power to get joe biden and Kamala Harris in to the white house in january 2021. America is an idea an idea stronger than any army, bigger than any ocean, more powerful than any dictator or tyrant. Hope. Es in this nation, we believe in honesty, decency, treating everyone with respect, giving everyone a fair shot, leaving nobody behind, giving hate no the harbor, leading by power of our example, not by the example of our power. Thats allowed us to stand as a beacon to the world, be part of something bigger than ourselves. Its a code. It is a uniquely american code. The most possible idea in the history of the world, the american creed that we are all created equal i think beats in the heart of our country. This Time Next Year, i hope the virus is in check and the american spirit is unleashed and that we are not fearing but hoping again. Hope we have chosen community over chaos, we have chosen a unity over division, and weve chosen love over hate. Willbelieve that america have faced its darkest moments and will have come out better. America will be coming together, not splintering apart. No more. No more pain. This Time Next Year, i hope we will have a government that is accountable to us, that sees health care as a human right. The promise of america will be restored for all our communities, all our families, all of us. Us, [speaking of spanish] im confident that this Time Next Year, we will have a president that provides the country with real leadership, not just tweets. This Time Next Year, i hope we are listening less to the russians and more to dr. Fauci. I hope we get back to work. Be two americans who i will be happy to say are unemployed Mitch Mcconnell and donald trump. I hope all americans, if they orpdemocrats, independents republicans, will be proud of their president , proud of their Vice President. That people believe they have a government that is working for , every day doing its best for them. I hope america has a president who campaigns for rights for all young women and girls. This Time Next Year, i want a president who understands what military families need. Who cares about the rights and lives of the people. Who cares about our environment and. Will pass confirmation reform. Nsive a year from now, i want to see the kids playing on the playground. I take pride in my job, but next year, i want to do it without wearing a mask or gloves. I hope we are all celebrating landmark legislation that the Bidenharris Administration have shepherded through congress and signed into law. This Time Next Year, we will again be able to look forward to the day when we can send our children to school. This Time Next Year this Time Next Year i hope that wentry realizes have reclaimed the soul of america. This Time Next Year, i hope and praise america will have restored democracy in the world. We come together one nation under god. One nation under god indivisible with liberty and justice for all. This Time Next Year, i want to see joe biden in the oval office. Hello, america. Im andrew yang. You might know me as the guy who ran for president talking about math and the future. Unfortunate for unfortunately for all of us, that future is now. The pandemic has accelerated everything. If youre like me and my wife, you dont know if your Childs School will open this fall. 72 of americans believe this is the worst time we have ever experienced and 42 of the jobs that have been lost millions of jobs will never return. We are in a deep, dark hole and we need leaders who will help us out. I know many politicians promised and failed to deliver. If you voted for trump or did not vote at all in 2016, i get it. Many of us have gotten tired of our leaders seeming far removed from our lives and we despair that our government will never rise to the challenge of our times, but we must give our country a chance to recover and recovery is only possible with a change of leadership and new ideas, bold and innovative policies that will get help into your hands in the midst of this crisis are possible, but we need your help to turn the page for our country in 75 days. We are here tonight to celebrate joe bidens nomination as a democratic candidate for president. I have gotten to know joe and kamala on the trail over the past year. The way you get to know a person when cameras are off, crowds are gone, just you and them. They are real people who understand problems we face. They are parents and patriots who want the best for us and our country and if you give them a chance, they will fight for us and our families every single day. Our future is now, and it is daunting, but i ask you to join me to help joe and kamala right for the promise of america and lead us forward to a future we will be proud to leap to our children. Now i would like to turn it over to a great democrat who will be with us throughout the evening. Between the two of us, we have emmys. Es 11 julia louisdreyfus. It so good to see you. What did you think about Kamala Harris speech last night . It was tremendous. I cannot wait to see her current Vice President pines. Or is it paints . I think its pronounced ponce. Not very american sounding. Thats what people are saying. Strongly. Thank you, and, please, give my regards to the gang. I will. They are right in the next room. Thank you so much. Welcome to the fourth night of the 2020 Democratic National convention, uniting america. These last few nights have been going so well, we have decided to add a if night where we will just play Michelle Obamas speech on a loop. I first met joe biden when i was. Ig my show veep played the Vice President and he was in fact the Vice President and we hit it off immediately. Soon after i was asked to be on the cover of a magazine remember those . I was so excited. To be people or volk or Rolling Stone . Ll, it turns out it was for arrive, the official onboard magazine of amtrak, which nobody ever reads, even though it is free, and the day it came out, my phone rang, and it was the Vice President telling me he loved the cover and the whole article and that it was one of the best issues of arrive he had ever read.

No policy expert, and i certainly dont pretend to be one, but i have a gut feeling about fairness and what is right, and that is why i am so excited. In a little while, we will hear from joe biden about his plans for america, plans for a Strong Economy that help working people and Small Businesses, not just billionaires, and plans to raise wages for nurseries and teachers and grocery workers getting us through this crisis god love them.

If we all vote, there is nothing facebook, fox news, and Vladimir Putin can do to stop us, but first, lets reaffirm the all American Values that our party and joe biden stand for. All right, ready . And action. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of america and to the republic, for which it stands, one nation, under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. O, say, can you see by the dawns early light what so proudly we hailed at the twilights last gleaming whose broad stripes and bright stars fighth the perilous er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming and the rockets red glare airbombs bursting in nightroof through the thereur flag was still say, d
