00:02:31THAT WAS NOBLE, THAT WAS GOOD I
00:02:35ACTUALLY WORKED SUMMERS, YOU KNOW, HERE AT THIS BUILDING AND OTHER PENNSBURY SCHOOLS DOING
00:02:39LANDSCAPING WORK. THAT WAS ONE OF MY SUMMER JOBS. OKAY. MY
00:02:42MOTHER WAS A SCHOOL SECRETARY IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. MY FATHER
00:02:45WAS AN ELECTRICIAN AT ROMAN HAAS
00:02:47FOR 38 YEARS. IT WAS A BLUE
00:02:50COLLAR FAMILY. IT WAS AN AMERICAN DREAM FAMILY, LIKE A
00:02:53LOT OF YOURS. AND WE WATCHED,
00:02:55AND I WATCHED AS MY FAMILY DID
00:02:58THE KINDS OF WORK THAT YOU KNEW

00:03:03BY THE RULES, WORKING HARD, PUTTING IN AN HONEST DAY'S WORK
00:03:06FOR AN HONEST DAY'S PAY. MY
00:03:08FOUR GRANDPARENTS, NONE OF WHOM
00:03:11GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL, MY TWO GRANDFATHERS DIDN'T GO TO HIGH
00:03:13SCHOOL, AND YET, THERE WAS AN AMERICAN DREAM AT THAT TIME THAT
00:03:17ALLOWED THEM TO BUY THEIR OWN HOMES, OKAY, TO TAKE THEIR KIDS
00:03:20ON VACATION, PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE, PUT CLOTHES ON THEIR
00:03:23BACKS, AND DO THOSE KINDS OF
00:03:25THINGS. THAT'S WHAT AMERICA IS SUPPOSED TO BE. HOW FAR WE HAVE
00:03:29COME, HOW FAR WE'VE FALLEN BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE DONALD
00:03:32TRUMP, AND BECAUSE OF BRIAN
00:03:35FITZPATRICK. OKAY. AND THAT IS

00:03:54FROM ANYBODY WHOSE LIVES ARE BETTER NOW THAN THEY WERE TEN YEARS AGO. WHEN BRIAN
00:03:58FITZPATRICK FIRST GOT ELECTED. AND WHEN DONALD TRUMP CAME DOWN
00:04:01HIS GOLD ESCALATOR. OKAY, IT'S
00:04:07NOT A COINCIDENCE. THOSE TWO HAVE BEEN IN OFFICE FOR THE SAME TIME AND HAD THE IMPACT THEY'VE
00:04:09HAD ON THIS COUNTRY. THE SAME TIME. WE ARE WORSE OFF AS A
00:04:12NATION IN EVERY ASPECT, OKAY? WE
00:04:15LOVE EACH OTHER AND CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER LESS THAN WE DID
00:04:19BEFORE. WE HAVE AN ECONOMY THAT DOES NOT WORK FOR THE MOST, FOR
00:04:23MOST AMERICANS, AND ONLY WORKS FOR THE BILLIONAIRES. WE HAVE A GOVERNMENT THAT ONLY CARES ABOUT
00:04:27THOSE WHO CAN BUY THE INFLUENCE THEY NEED, AND THE VOTES THEY
00:04:31NEED. IN WASHINGTON, WE HAVE TOO MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE STRUGGLING
00:04:33AND WORKING TOO HARD TO DO THE THINGS THAT SHOULD BE EASY. WHEN
00:04:37YOU PUT IN THAT HONEST DAY'S
00:04:38WORK. THAT IS WHY I'M RUNNING, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT
00:04:42FAIR. AND I KNOW IT'S NOT FAIR,
00:04:43AND WE ARE GOING TO CHANGE IT IN

00:05:07OTHERS IN THIS DISTRICT, IF I'M ELECTED TO BE YOUR CONGRESSMAN
00:05:11IN THIS DISTRICT, I AM GOING TO FIGHT AGAINST THE CORRUPTION
00:05:14THAT'S IN WASHINGTON. WE NEED TO OVERTURN CITIZENS UNITED AND HAVE REAL CAMPAIGN
00:05:18>> [APPLAUSE] >> FINANCE. >> [APPLAUSE]
00:05:19>> REFORM

00:05:36AND THE JUDICIARY AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL FROM TRADING >> [APPLAUSE] >> STOCKS. >> [APPLAUSE]
00:05:40>> WHEN THEY SIT IN THOSE SEATS.
00:05:42>> [APPLAUSE]

00:05:47TO BELONG TO, WHICH IS YOU.
00:05:51OKAY. THIS IS NOT WHEN I SAY I'M RUNNING FOR THIS SEAT,
00:05:54OKAY? I THINK THAT OFFENDS BRIAN FITZPATRICK. IT OFFENDS THE
00:05:58REPUBLICANS BECAUSE THEY DON'T THINK OF IT AS THIS SEAT. THEY
00:06:00THINK IT'S THEIR SEAT. OKAY? IT
00:06:03IS NOT THEIR SEAT. THE SEAT DOESN'T BELONG TO BRIAN
00:06:06FITZPATRICK. THIS SEAT DOESN'T BELONG TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
00:06:09THIS SEAT DOESN'T BELONG TO ME.
00:06:10THIS SEAT BELONGS TO YOU. OKAY
00:06:14>> [APPLAUSE] [APPLAUSE]
00:06:19>> YOU DESERVE A GOVERNMENT THAT'S GOING TO WORK FOR YOU TO MAKE YOUR LIVES BETTER, NOT MAKE
00:06:23IT WORSE. WE NEED A GOVERNMENT THAT FOCUSES ON ROLLING BACK
00:06:27THESE STUPID TARIFFS THAT HAVE NO POINT. OKAY? WE'RE MAKING
00:06:31ENEMIES OF CANADA AND MAKING FRIENDS WITH RUSSIA. WHAT ARE WE
00:06:35DOING AS A NATION? OKAY, WHAT
00:06:37ARE WE DOING? WE NEED TO ABSOLUTELY FOCUS ON MAKING
00:06:40HEALTH CARE AFFORDABLE FOR PEOPLE. REMEMBER THAT IT WAS
00:06:44BRIAN FITZPATRICK WHO VOTED AGAINST THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT TAX CREDITS. IF YOUR PREMIUMS
00:06:47ARE HIGHER NOW, OR SOMEBODY YOU
00:06:49KNOW IS STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS
00:06:52MEET, BLAINE BRIAN FITZPATRICK
00:06:56OKAY, AND AND I PROMISE YOU, I

00:07:19FAMILIES ARE SUFFERING BECAUSE
00:07:23OF A WAR THAT DONALD TRUMP GOT INTO, AND HAS NO IDEA HOW TO GET
00:07:26OUT OF. AND THE ECONOMIC COST IS NOT JUST HERE IN AMERICA, BUT IT
00:07:30IS AROUND THE WORLD THE COUNTRY
00:07:33THAT USED TO BE A CITY ON A HILL, TALKED ABOUT FOR
00:07:36CENTURIES, EVEN TALKED ABOUT BY
00:07:38RONALD REAGAN, WHO LOOKS AT US THAT WAY ANYMORE BECAUSE OF
00:07:41DONALD TRUMP AND BECAUSE OF
00:07:43BRIAN FITZPATRICK. IT IS OUR
00:07:46RESPONSIBILITY TO RECLAIM THE
00:07:47PROMISE OF THIS COUNTRY, FOR
00:07:50OURSELVES AND FOR YOUNG PEOPLE IN NEXT GENERATIONS. THIS IS A
00:07:54COUNTRY BUILT BY DREAMERS, 250
00:07:57YEARS AGO. WE HAVE TO KEEP DREAMING, OKAY? AND WE HAVE TO
00:08:00KEEP FIGHTING. AND I KNOW WE'LL
00:08:05ADDRESS THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'VE
00:08:09PROBABLY THOUGHT. AS SOON AS I CAME UP HERE. WELL, HE'S MUCH
00:08:13BETTER LOOKING ON HIS POSTERS
00:08:17AND BILLBOARDS THAN HE IS IN
00:08:18REAL LIFE OKAY. UNDERSTAND WHAT
00:08:22YOU'RE LOOKING AT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THOSE BILLBOARDS AND POSTERS.
00:08:25YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE INFLUENCE OF DARK MONEY, $1 MILLION A
00:08:29MONTH HE HAS SPENT AGAINST ME
00:08:32SINCE MAY. $1 MILLION A MONTH. ASK YOURSELF WHERE IT COMES
00:08:35FROM. I'M NOT TAKING CORPORATE PAC MONEY. OKAY. THE AVERAGE

00:08:48AVERAGE DONATION, IF YOU'VE BEEN HELPING ME. THANK YOU >> [APPLAUSE]. [APPLAUSE]
00:08:52>> BUT YOU KNOW AS WELL AS I DO.
00:08:55I'VE NEVER BEEN THE SUBJECT OF
00:08:57AN FBI INVESTIGATION. OKAY,
00:09:00OKAY. UM, WE KNOW WHAT BRIAN
00:09:05FITZPATRICK IS DOING. HE'S SLANDERING ME. HE'S DEFAMING ME. ME? HE WANTS TO LIE ABOUT MY
00:09:09RECORD BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT HIS. HE DOESN'T
00:09:12WANT TO TALK ABOUT HIS MULTIPLE
00:09:14VOTES TO KEEP THE EPSTEIN FILES
00:09:16SECRET. AND THAT IS A DISGRACE TO THE VICTIMS WHO ARE KNOWN AND
00:09:20THOSE WHO WE DON'T KNOW YET.
00:09:23AND I WILL ABSOLUTELY VOTE TO MAKE SURE THAT WHOEVER IS
00:09:27RESPONSIBLE FOR THOSE CRIMES GETS PROSECUTED, I DON'T CARE WHO THEY ARE. I DON'T CARE WHAT
00:09:31PARTY THEY'RE FROM JUSTICE IS
00:09:35JUSTICE. >> [APPLAUSE] >> HE DOESN'T WANT TO TALK
00:09:38ABOUT. HE DOESN'T WANT TO TALK

00:09:54ABOUT HIS VOTE TO MAKE SURE THAT GOVERNMENT COULD NOT NEGOTIATE
00:09:58DRUG PRICES SO THAT THEY'RE CHEAPER FOR US. HE DOESN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT HIS VOTES TO
00:10:03SUPPORT THE TARIFFS OR THE WAR IN IRAN. AND SO WE'RE GOING TO
00:10:05BE TALKING ABOUT THEM. HE CAN'T
00:10:08HIDE FROM HIS RECORD. HE'LL TRY.
00:10:11HE'LL TRY, BUT WE WON'T LET
00:10:12HIM. AND THAT'S WHERE I NEED

00:14:07A GREAT LEADER, A GREAT PATRIOT,
00:14:12CONGRESSWOMAN >> [APPLAUSE] >> MADELEINE DEAN.
00:14:14>> [APPLAUSE]
00:14:19>> DONALD TRUMP AND MAGA EXTREMISTS PROMISED THAT THEY
00:14:22WERE GOING TO LOWER THE HIGH
00:14:25COST OF LIVING. ON DAY ONE. BUT
00:14:27OF COURSE, HAVING GONE DOWN,
00:14:29COSTS HAVE GONE UP. TWO YEARS
00:14:32AGO, DONALD TRUMP AND MAGA EXTREMISTS PROMISED THAT THEY
00:14:36WOULD NO LONGER SPEND YOUR
00:14:38TAXPAYER DOLLARS ON ENDLESS WARS IN THE MIDDLE EAST. AND THEN
00:14:41THEY TURNED AROUND AND HAVE GOTTEN US INVOLVED IN A
00:14:45RECKLESS, COSTLY WAR OF CHOICE.
00:14:48IN IRAN. TWO YEARS AGO, THESE
00:14:52MAGA EXTREMISTS PROMISED THAT
00:14:52THEY WOULD GET GAS PRICES UNDER
00:14:56$2 A GALLON. BUT NOW, OF COURSE,
00:14:59GAS PRICES, ON AVERAGE, HAVE
00:15:02BEEN CLOSER TO $4.40 A GALLON.
00:15:03THEY'VE LEFT BEHIND A GRAVEYARD
00:15:08OF BROKEN PROMISES. AND OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS, THE AMERICAN
00:15:10PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ASKING THE
00:15:12QUESTION, ARE THESE MAGA EXTREMISTS? WERE THEY LYING TO
00:15:16THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, OR ARE THEY
00:15:22JUST INCOMPETENT? WELL, I CAME
00:15:24HERE WITH AN ANSWER. IT'S ALL OF
00:15:29>> [APPLAUSE] >> THE ABOVE.
00:15:30>> [APPLAUSE]
00:15:33>> THEY'VE CRASHED THE ECONOMY. THEY'VE MADE LIFE MORE
00:15:36EXPENSIVE. IT'S EXTRAORDINARY THAT DONALD TRUMP HAD THE
00:15:40TEMERITY, THE NERVE. WHEN ASKED
00:15:45ABOUT REPUBLICAN MANAGEMENT OF THE ECONOMY, TO SAY, WE DESERVE
00:15:48AN A PLUS. NO, MR. PRESIDENT,
00:15:50YOU DON'T DESERVE AN A PLUS.
00:15:53REPUBLICANS DON'T DESERVE AN A PLUS. FITZ DOESN'T DESERVE AN A
00:15:56PLUS. THEY ALL DESERVE A PINK
00:15:59SLIP. AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. ON NOVEMBER 3rd ARE GOING TO
00:16:03FIRE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM.
00:16:06EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM
00:16:09>> [APPLAUSE] [APPLAUSE]
00:16:17>> WE CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER TWO
00:16:18YEARS OF A REPUBLICAN CONTROLLED
00:16:24CONGRESS. AND THAT'S WHY THIS RACE HERE IN PENNSYLVANIA, ONE
00:16:26IS SO INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT FOR
00:16:31COMPETITIVE RACES ALL ACROSS THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA. IN
00:16:35FACT, WE PRETTY MUCH CAN WIN BACK CONTROL OF THE HOUSE RIGHT
00:16:39HERE IN THIS GREAT STATE.
00:16:50>> [APPLAUSE] >> NO PRESSURE ON Y'ALL. BUT PENNSYLVANIA IS A STATE THAT HAS
00:16:53REPEATEDLY DELIVERED UNDER THE GREAT LEADERSHIP OF GOVERNOR SHAPIRO AND THE WONDERFUL
00:16:57CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION THAT
00:16:58YOU ALL HAVE, AND THE TREMENDOUS
00:17:02PATRIOTS WHO ARE HERE AND ALL
00:17:05ACROSS THE COMMONWEALTH, A VOTE FOR THE CURRENT CONGRESSMAN IS A
00:17:09VOTE FOR THE STATUS QUO. IT'S A
00:17:12VOTE FOR MORE OF THE SAME. BUT A
00:17:15VOTE FOR BOB HARVEY IS A VOTE
00:17:17FOR DRAMATIC CHANGE. IT'S A VOTE
00:17:21TO FIGHT TO MAKE THIS COUNTRY
00:17:23THE BEST VERSION OF HERSELF.
00:17:25IT'S A VOTE TO BUILD AN ECONOMY
00:17:28THAT WORKS FOR EVERYDAY PEOPLE HERE IN PENNSYLVANIA AND ALL
00:17:32ACROSS THE COUNTRY. BOB HARVEY WOULD BE A VOTE TO FIGHT, TO
00:17:35MAKE HEALTH CARE AFFORDABLE FOR
00:17:37EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN. AND BOB
00:17:40HARVEY, A VOTE FOR HIM IS A VOTE
00:17:42TO MAKE CONGRESS A CHECK AND
00:17:45BALANCE ON AN OUT OF CONTROL
00:17:49PRESIDENT. BECAUSE BOB HARVEY
00:17:54KNOWS. MADELEINE KNOWS. HOUSE DEMOCRATS KNOW WE DON'T WORK FOR
00:17:59DONALD TRUMP. WE DON'T WORK FOR
00:18:00JD VANCE. WE DON'T WORK FOR
00:18:03ELON MUSK. WE WORK FOR ALL OF
00:18:04YOU, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. AND
00:18:10>> [APPLAUSE]
00:18:11>> THAT'S EXACTLY. WHAT WE
00:18:14INTEND TO DO. NOW, HOUSE DEMOCRATS UNDERSTAND THAT LIFE
00:18:18IS WAY TOO EXPENSIVE. THERE ARE FAR TOO MANY PEOPLE IN THIS
00:18:22GREAT COUNTRY. THEY'RE WORKING HARD. THEY'RE PLAYING BY THE
00:18:26RULES, BUT THEY CAN'T THRIVE.
00:18:27AND THEY CAN BARELY SURVIVE. IN
00:18:31THE WEALTHIEST COUNTRY IN THE
00:18:33HISTORY OF THE WORLD. THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE. AND LIFE HAS BEEN
00:18:37MADE MORE EXPENSIVE EXPLICITLY
00:18:40BY REPUBLICAN POLICIES THAT THE
00:18:43INCUMBENT HAS SUPPORTED, LIKE
00:18:45THE TRUMP TARIFFS THAT HAVE INCREASED COSTS ON EVERYDAY
00:18:49AMERICANS BY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS PER YEAR. HOUSE
00:18:53DEMOCRATS BELIEVE THAT WHEN YOU WORK HARD AND PLAY BY THE RULES
00:18:57HERE IN THIS GREAT COUNTRY OF OURS, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO LIVE
00:19:01IN AFFORDABLE LIFE, A COMFORTABLE LIFE, AND A GOOD
00:19:05LIFE. AND WE KNOW WHAT THAT
00:19:07LOOKS LIKE. IT'S A GOOD PAYING
00:19:10JOB, GOOD HOUSING, GOOD HEALTH
00:19:12CARE, GOOD EDUCATION FOR YOUR CHILDREN. AND THEN WHEN IT'S ALL
00:19:16SAID AND DONE, A GOOD >> [APPLAUSE]
00:19:19>> RETIREMENT. AND THAT'S WHY.
00:19:23HOUSE DEMOCRATS, IN THE MAJORITY
00:19:28WILL ALWAYS, BOB WILL ALWAYS
00:19:31PROTECT YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY AND
00:19:33YOUR MEDICARE. WORK HARD, PLAY
00:19:38BY THE RULES. LIVE A >> [APPLAUSE]
00:19:40>> GOOD LIFE WE ALSO BELIEVE
00:19:44THAT FAR TOO MANY AMERICANS ARE
00:19:48UNABLE TO GO SEE A DOCTOR WHEN
00:19:50THEY NEED ONE. AND IN THIS COUNTRY OF OURS, THE WEALTHIEST
00:19:54IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD, IT CANNOT BE THE CASE THAT ACCESS
00:19:58TO HIGH QUALITY AND AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE IS SIMPLY A
00:20:02PRIVILEGE, AVAILABLE ONLY TO THE
00:20:04WEALTHY, THE WELL-OFF, AND THE WELL-CONNECTED. WE BELIEVE THAT
00:20:07IT'S GOT TO BE A RIGHT, AVAILABLE TO EVERY SINGLE
00:20:11AMERICAN, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'LL
00:20:13FIGHT HARD WE'RE FIGHTING FOR
00:20:19AN AFFORDABLE AMERICA TO LOWER THE HIGH COST OF GROCERIES, GAS,
00:20:23HOUSING, HEALTH CARE PREMIUMS.
00:20:25BUT WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT IN
00:20:29ADDITION TO FIGHTING FOR AN AFFORDABLE AMERICA, WE'VE GOT TO
00:20:32BRING ACCOUNTABILITY TO THIS
00:20:35OUT-OF-CONTROL TRUMP CARTEL. AND
00:20:39WE BELIEVE THAT IF YOU HAVE
00:20:41PEOPLE WHO ARE SO CONSUMED WITH
00:20:45ENRICHING THEMSELVES, THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS, THEIR FRIENDS,
00:20:47AND THEIR DONORS, THEN THEY'RE
00:20:50NOT FOCUSED ON MAKING LIFE MORE AFFORDABLE FOR ALL OF YOU. AND
00:20:54WE'VE SEEN UNPRECEDENTED LEVELS
00:20:58OF CORRUPTION UNLEASHED ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. AND THE REPUBLICAN CONGRESS HAS DONE
00:21:02NOTHING ABOUT IT. THEY'VE
00:21:04ALLOWED IT TO HAPPEN. THEY'RE
00:21:07FACILITATING IT. THEY'RE TURNING A BLIND EYE TO IT. THEY BURY
00:21:11THEIR HEADS IN THE SAND. HOUSE
00:21:13DEMOCRATS WILL TAKE A VERY DIFFERENT APPROACH. OUR MESSAGE
00:21:17TO ANY OF THESE WRONGDOERS IS
00:21:20THAT IF YOU'VE BEEN STEALING

00:24:42HONOR TO INTRODUCE A TREMENDOUS
00:24:44PUBLIC SERVANT. I'VE BEEN SO
00:24:47THANKFUL HIS LEADERSHIP IN THIS
00:24:51GREAT COMMONWEALTH, FOR HIS PARTNERSHIP, HIS FRIENDSHIP.
00:24:54FROM THE VERY BEGINNING OF THIS CONGRESSIONAL JOURNEY, THIS
00:24:58CYCLE. HE'S BEEN ALL IN ON
00:25:01THESE RACES, AND HIS PARTNERSHIP
00:25:06HAS BEEN TREMENDOUS. HE'S A GOVERNOR WHO KNOWS HOW TO GET
00:25:10STUFF . I KNOW HE SAYS IT A
00:25:14DIFFERENT WAY, BUT HE'S A GIFT.
00:25:24KNOWS HOW TO GET DONE HERE. AND
00:25:29WE'RE SO THANKFUL FOR HIM AND
00:25:31HIS LEADERSHIP. THE 48th
00:25:34GOVERNOR OF THE GREAT COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA,
00:25:37GOVERNOR JOSH SHAPIRO.
00:25:53>> HOW ARE WE DOING? BUCKS COUNTY?
00:25:57>> [APPLAUSE] [APPLAUSE] [MUSIC] >> I'M GRATEFUL THAT THE NEXT
00:26:00SPEAKER OF THE UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IS HERE
00:26:04IN BUCKS COUNTY TONIGHT AND I
00:26:08KNOW WE'VE GOT A LOT OF IMPORTANT BUSINESS TO CONDUCT.
00:26:11BUT BEFORE I GET TO THAT,
00:26:14TODAY'S BEEN A CHALLENGING DAY.
00:26:18TODAY'S BEEN A DARK DAY ACROSS
00:26:21THIS COMMONWEALTH. WE WOKE UP
00:26:24THIS MORNING TO LEARNING ABOUT THE LOSS OF LIFE, OF ONE OF OUR
00:26:27BRAVE HEROES, WHO PUTS ON THE
00:26:29UNIFORM OF THE PHILADELPHIA
00:26:32POLICE EVERY DAY TO GO OUT AND
00:26:34KEEP US SAFE. HE SUCCUMBED TO HIS INJURIES, RESPONDING TO
00:26:38PEOPLE IN NEED IN THE COMMUNITY.
00:26:40AROUND THE SAME TIME, WE LOST
00:26:44NINE SOULS IN ERIE, PENNSYLVANIA, TO A MASS
00:26:48SHOOTING. THERE IT'S AN
00:26:52IMPORTANT REMINDER OF WHY WE DO
00:26:54WHAT WE DO, TRYING TO STRENGTHEN
00:26:57OUR COMMUNITIES, TRYING TO LOOK
00:26:59OUT FOR OUR NEIGHBORS. AND SO,
00:27:02WHILE THIS HAS BEEN A CHALLENGING DAY FOR OUR
00:27:06COMMONWEALTH, I WANTED TO BE HERE TONIGHT WITH ALL OF YOU,
00:27:08BECAUSE I KNOW WHY YOU'RE HERE.
00:27:12IT'S NOT JUST TO ELECT BOB
00:27:15HARVEY, BUT IT'S ABOUT DOING
00:27:17GOOD IN OUR COMMUNITIES, OUR COMMONWEALTH, OUR COUNTRY. AND
00:27:21WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE WAY WE DO
00:27:23THAT IS BY ENGAGING, BY VOTING
00:27:25AND BEING PART OF THIS PROCESS.
00:27:29AND SO I SAY TO ALL >> [APPLAUSE]
00:27:32>> OF YOU. WHILE WE'RE >> [APPLAUSE] >> MOURNING TONIGHT, IT'S ALSO
00:27:36AN IMPORTANT NIGHT FOR US TO BE TOGETHER AND FOR US TO BE
00:27:39TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY. AND I KNOW A WHOLE BUNCH OF YOU ARE
00:27:43HERE TONIGHT BECAUSE YOU'RE
00:27:45EXCITED FOR BOB HARVEY TO BE
00:27:48YOUR CONGRESSMAN. AND I KNOW A
00:27:51WHOLE BUNCH OF YOU ARE EXCITED
00:27:54ABOUT THE PROSPECT OF EILEEN HARTNETT. EILBER BEING YOUR
00:27:58STATE SENATOR
00:28:00>> [APPLAUSE] [APPLAUSE] >> A FEW OF YOU MAY BE HERE
00:28:04BECAUSE YOU WANT TO RETURN ME TO
00:28:06THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE I ALSO
00:28:12KNOW. I ALSO KNOW YOU'RE HERE
00:28:15BECAUSE YOU'RE TIRED, AND YOU'RE
00:28:18ANGRY, AND YOU'RE FRUSTRATED BY
00:28:21THE CHAOS AND THE CRUELTY AND THE CORRUPTION THAT WE'RE SEEING
00:28:24EVERY DAY FROM THIS ADMINISTRATION IN WASHINGTON.
00:28:28THE CHAOS THAT'S LED TO HIGHER
00:28:32PRICES, BECAUSE HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN YOU SLAP A
00:28:35TARIFF ON A FOREIGN COUNTRY, IT MEANS HIGHER PRICES FOR US AT
00:28:38THE GROCERY STORE. IT MEANS THAT
00:28:43GROUND BEEF IS UP 50% BECAUSE OF
00:28:47HIS INCOMPETENCE, CHAOS, THE
00:28:48KIND OF CHAOS THAT TOOK US INTO
00:28:51A WAR IN IRAN THAT WE HAD NO
00:28:54BUSINESS GOING INTO, AND A WAR THAT HE HAS NO EARTHLY IDEA HOW
00:28:58TO GET OUT OF, KIND OF CHAOS
00:29:02THAT HAS LEFT 21 DINNER TABLES ACROSS AMERICA WITH AN EMPTY
00:29:06SEAT, BECAUSE THOSE BRAVE
00:29:09SOLDIERS DIDN'T MAKE IT HOME. THE KIND OF CHAOS THAT LED US
00:29:12INTO A WAR. THAT MEANS OUR
00:29:15FARMERS ARE PAYING 650 A GALLON FOR DIESEL, AND YOU AT THE WAWA
00:29:18DOWN THE STREET, ARE PAYING
00:29:21$4.60 FOR GAS. AND THEN ON TOP
00:29:23OF THAT, HE THINKS THE ANSWER TO
00:29:27THIS IS TO CALL UP VLADIMIR PUTIN AND HAVE HIM SEND SOME
00:29:31DIESEL HERE TO THE UNITED
00:29:34STATES. HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THAT PUTIN IS ON THE SIDE OF
00:29:38IRAN. THE SAME PEOPLE THAT
00:29:40JAMMED UP THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ.
00:29:43HE CAN'T FIGURE THAT OUT.
00:29:45THAT'S THE KIND OF CHAOTIC
00:29:47LEADERSHIP THAT HE PROVIDES. HOW ABOUT THE CRUELTY THAT WE'RE
00:29:51SEEING EVERY DAY FROM THIS ADMINISTRATION? I KNOW SOME OF
00:29:53YOU ARE HERE BECAUSE YOU'VE SEEN
00:29:58THE CRUELTY OF 510,000 OF OUR
00:30:00NEIGHBORS IN PENNSYLVANIA LOSING HEALTH CARE, BECAUSE DONALD
00:30:04TRUMP WANTED TO GIVE A TAX CUT TO THE PEOPLE AT THE VERY TOP.
00:30:07AND HE WAS ENABLED BY A CONGRESS
00:30:10OF THE UNITED STATES THAT RUBBER
00:30:13STAMPED HIM EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. THAT'S CRUEL. ONE OF THE
00:30:17REASONS I'M HERE IS BECAUSE I KNOW IF HAKEEM JEFFRIES IS THE
00:30:21SPEAKER, THEY'LL FIGHT TO REVERSE THOSE CUTS AND LOOK OUT
00:30:25FOR OUR NEIGHBORS IN
00:30:30PENNSYLVANIA. HERE'S ANOTHER
00:30:31EXAMPLE OF THE CRUELTY. HERE'S ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE CRUELTY
00:30:35THEY'VE DECIDED TO LIVE STREAM
00:30:43TO LIVE STREAM AND EXECUTION OF
00:30:47ANOTHER HUMAN BEING. THAT'S HOW THEY DO IT IN NORTH KOREA, NOT
00:30:49IN THE UNITED STATES. WE'RE BETTER THAN THIS. WE'RE A KIND
00:30:53PEOPLE, NOT A CRUEL PEOPLE. BUT
00:30:57UNFORTUNATELY, TRUMP TAKES US TO THE LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR.
00:31:00EVERY TIME. CHAOS AND CRUELTY.
00:31:03HOW ABOUT THE CORRUPTION THAT WE'RE SEEING FROM HIM EVERY
00:31:06DAY? THE KIND OF CORRUPTION THAT
00:31:10LED TO HIM AND HIS SPOILED KIDS
00:31:13PUTTING $2 BILLION IN THEIR POCKETS. BUT IT'S NOT JUST
00:31:16ABOUT THE MONEY HE PUTS IN HIS
00:31:17POCKET, OR HIS KIDS PUT IN THEIR
00:31:21POCKET. THINK ABOUT IT. THIS IS THE INSIDIOUS NATURE OF HIS
00:31:24CORRUPTION. WHEN HE'S SITTING BEHIND THE DESK IN THE OVAL
00:31:27OFFICE. WHAT'S HE DOING? HE'S
00:31:31NOT THINKING ABOUT HOW TO GIVE
00:31:33YOU HEALTH CARE. HE COULD BE SLEEPING. HE'S NOT THINKING
00:31:37ABOUT HOW TO GIVE YOU HEALTH CARE. HE'S NOT THINKING ABOUT
00:31:40HOW TO GIVE BACK. SNAP BENEFITS
00:31:42TO THE 143,000 PENNSYLVANIANS
00:31:46WHO LOST THEM. HE'S MAKING
00:31:49DEALS THAT HURT YOU. HE'S MAKING
00:31:52DEALS THAT UNDERMINE YOUR INTERESTS. LET ME TELL YOU
00:31:56SOMETHING. EVERY DAY HE GOES TO WORK TRYING TO SCREW OVER A
00:31:59PENNSYLVANIAN IS THE SAME DAY I
00:32:01GO TO WORK, STANDING UP FOR ALL
00:32:05PENNSYLVANIANS, FIGHTING BACK AGAINST HIS CHAOS, HIS CRUELTY,
00:32:08AND HIS CORRUPTION. YOU KNOW,
00:32:12WHEN HE WANTED TO BUILD THOSE TWO MASSIVE ICE DETENTION
00:32:15CENTERS HERE IN PENNSYLVANIA, I SAID, HELL NO. WE STOPPED THEM.
00:32:19THEY'RE NOT COMING TO PENNSYLVANIA.
00:32:23>> [APPLAUSE]
00:32:24>> MORE RECENTLY, MORE RECENTLY,
00:32:30HE THOUGHT, AND AND MY GOOD FRIEND MADELEINE DEAN IS HERE. SHE'S A HELL OF A LAWYER. SHE
00:32:33COULD HELP US ON THIS ONE.
00:32:36RIGHT? HE THOUGHT THAT HE COULD WRITE AN EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT
00:32:40SOMEHOW WOULD CANCEL OUT PART OF THE CONSTITUTION. CONGRESSWOMAN,
00:32:44IS THAT. THAT'S NOT DOABLE, RIGHT? IT'S NOT DOABLE. RIGHT?
00:32:48HOW SMART SHE IS. SHE'S EVEN GOT
00:32:49HER SMART PASHMINA ON TONIGHT. I
00:32:53LOVE MAD. BUT, YOU SEE, HE WROTE
00:32:56THIS EXECUTIVE ORDER TRYING TO DO AWAY WITH YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE,
00:32:59TRYING TO NATIONALIZE OUR ELECTIONS, TRYING TO MAKE IT SO
00:33:02YOU CAN'T VOTE BY MAIL. I TOOK
00:33:05HIM TO COURT. I WON, AND YOU'RE
00:33:06RIGHT, TO VOTE WAS PROTECTED.
00:33:10EVERY DAY. EVERY DAY, I'M
00:33:14FIGHTING FOR YOU. FIGHTING FOR OUR SCHOOLS HERE IN BUCKS
00:33:17COUNTY, WHERE WE'VE INVESTED IN THEM AGAIN, WHERE WE'VE GOT
00:33:21UNIVERSAL FREE BREAKFAST. NOW,
00:33:22AS THE LAW IN THIS COMMONWEALTH,
00:33:25WE'RE BRINGING JOBS TO BUCKS
00:33:27COUNTY, INCLUDING IN FALLS
00:33:30TOWNSHIP. AT NEWLEY'S NEW SITE.
00:33:32WE'RE GROWING OUR ECONOMY. WE
00:33:35CUT TAXES TEN TIMES TO PUT MONEY
00:33:38BACK IN YOUR POCKETS FOR OUR SENIORS, FOR FAMILIES WHO ARE
00:33:40TRYING TO AFFORD CHILDCARE. I'M PROUD OF WHAT WE'VE DONE, BUT I
00:33:43KNOW IT FEELS LIKE EVERY TIME WE
00:33:46PUT A DOLLAR IN YOUR POCKET, DONALD TRUMP TAKES TWO BUCKS
00:33:49OUT. THE OTHER ONE, AND WE GOTTA
00:33:52END THAT. AND THE BEST WAY TO END THAT, I'LL TELL YOU HOW WE
00:33:55DO THAT, IS TO MAKE SURE WE'VE GOT A CONGRESS OF THE UNITED
00:33:58STATES THAT'S NO LONGER A
00:34:00RUBBER STAMP ON DONALD TRUMP.
00:34:04>> [APPLAUSE]
00:34:06>> I WANT A MEMBER OF CONGRESS
00:34:09LIKE BOB HARVEY, WHO'S GOING TO
00:34:10FIGHT TO CUT COSTS IN
00:34:13PENNSYLVANIA. I WANT A MEMBER OF
00:34:15CONGRESS WHO'S GOING TO STAND UP
00:34:18FOR OUR FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS >> [APPLAUSE]
00:34:20>> EVERY SINGLE DAY. AND I WANT A MEMBER OF >> [APPLAUSE]
00:34:24>> CONGRESS WHO, AFTER HE TAKES
00:34:25THE OATH OF OFFICE, HIS FIRST
00:34:30VOTE IS TO MAKE HAKEEM JEFFRIES
00:34:32THE NEXT SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF
00:34:35REPRESENTATIVES IN WASHINGTON
00:34:38BOB HARVEY'S GOING TO DO THAT. LADIES AND >> [APPLAUSE]
00:34:41>> GENTLEMEN WE NEED BOB HARVEY
00:34:45IN CONGRESS, AND THE PEOPLE WHO
00:34:50ARE GOING TO DECIDE ALL OF THIS.
00:34:51ARE ALL OF YOU. NOW, YOU HAD THE
00:34:55PRIVILEGE TONIGHT OF HEARING FROM A PRETTY EXTRAORDINARY GUY,
00:34:58A GOOD FRIEND NAMED HAKEEM JEFFRIES, A GUY WHO'S GOING TO HAVE A PRETTY COOL TITLE. HE'S
00:35:02GOING TO BE SPEAKER OF THE
00:35:04HOUSE. THAT'S PRETTY COOL. NOW
00:35:08HE'S GOT ONE UNFORTUNATE TITLE.
00:35:09HE'S A KNICKS FAN. I'M GONNA
00:35:14HOLD THAT AGAINST HIM. BUT THE THING IS, EVEN THOUGH YOU HEARD
00:35:16FROM A POWERFUL GUY LIKE HAKEEM JEFFRIES, YOU HEARD FROM A
00:35:20POWERFUL WOMEN LIKE MADELEINE
00:35:22DEAN. PEOPLE WITH TITLES NEXT TO
00:35:25THEIR NAMES. THE REALITY IS, AT
00:35:26THE END OF THE DAY, THEY'RE NOT
00:35:30ALL THAT POWERFUL. BUT YOU ARE. YOU'RE THE ONES WITH THE REAL
00:35:33POWER IN THIS CONVERSATION, AND
00:35:36YOU'RE THE ONES WITH THE REAL
00:35:39POWER. IN OUR COUNTRY. YOU HAVE
00:35:41THE ABILITY RIGHT NOW HERE IN
00:35:44BUCKS COUNTY, THE SWINGIEST
00:35:46COUNTY, IN THE SWINGIEST STATE,
00:35:49IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY, TO DECIDE
00:35:53THE FUTURE DIRECTION OF OUR COMMONWEALTH AND OUR COUNTRY. IF
00:35:56YOU COME TOGETHER AND YOU VOTE
00:35:59FOR EILEEN HARTNETT ALVIAR, AND SEND HER TO THE STATE SENATE,
00:36:03YOU WILL GIVE ME SOMETHING WE
00:36:04HAVEN'T HAD SINCE 1992. A
00:36:09DEMOCRATIC >> [APPLAUSE] >> TRIFECTA IN HARRISBURG. WE
00:36:13CAN DO THIS. AND WITH THAT, LET
00:36:15ME TELL YOU WHAT THE FIRST ACT
00:36:20OF 2027 WILL BE. IT WILL BE TO
00:36:21RAISE THE MINIMUM WAGE TO $15 AN
00:36:24HOUR HERE IN THIS COMMONWEALTH.
00:36:28EILEEN IS GOING TO MAKE SURE OF THAT. AND THEN SHE'S GOING TO
00:36:32PUT A BILL ON MY DESK TO GIVE
00:36:34SURVIVORS OF ABUSE THEIR DAY IN
00:36:37COURT. THAT'S BEEN BLOCKED FOR
00:36:40. WITH EILEEN AS YOUR STATE
00:36:43SENATOR. WE WILL CODIFY ABORTION
00:36:47RIGHTS IN THE CONSTITUTION OF THIS
00:36:51>> [APPLAUSE] >> COMMONWEALTH. YOU'VE GOT THE
00:36:52POWER TO DO THAT, AND YOU'VE GOT
00:36:57THE POWER TO DECIDE WHAT THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES
00:37:01LOOKS LIKE. SO THINK ABOUT IT. YOU'VE GOT THE POWER TO HELP US
00:37:05GET MORE STUFF DONE HERE IN PENNSYLVANIA. AND YOU GOT THE
00:37:09POWER TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT DONALD TRUMP WILL CONTINUE TO
00:37:12HAVE A RUBBER STAMP IN CONGRESS.
00:37:14THAT GUY, WHAT'S HIS NAME, STEVE
00:37:18JOHNSON OR BILL MIKE JOHNSON? WE DON'T WANT HIM ANYMORE. OR
00:37:22WHETHER WE'RE GOING TO HAVE HAKEEM JEFFRIES BE A GUY WHO'S
00:37:25GOING TO STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR US WITH THE CONGRESS OF THE
00:37:29UNITED STATES. THAT HAS A REAL BACKBONE. THAT'S THE POWER YOU
00:37:33HAVE. AND I WOULD ARGUE YOU'VE
00:37:36ACTUALLY GOT A RESPONSIBILITY HERE TO USE IT, BECAUSE AS
00:37:40PENNSYLVANIANS, WE'VE GOT A SPECIAL RESPONSIBILITY TO
00:37:43PROTECTING THIS COUNTRY, TO DEFENDING THIS NATION. STARTED
00:37:46HERE 250 YEARS AGO WITH THE OLD
00:37:50INDEPENDENCE HALL, WHERE A BAND OF PATRIOTS CAME TOGETHER. SOME
00:37:53OF THEM HAD BEEN HANGING OUT IN BUCKS COUNTY FOR A WHILE. YOU'LL
00:37:57REMEMBER. READ YOUR HISTORY BOOKS. IT'S TRUE. THEY WERE IN
00:37:59BRISTOL, LIVING RIGHT NEXT TO
00:38:02BOB HARVEY. TRUE, IT'S TRUE. AND
00:38:08THEY GATHERED IN INDEPENDENCE
00:38:09HALL, AND THEY CAME TOGETHER AND
00:38:12DECLARED THEIR INDEPENDENCE FROM A KING. IT WAS A BRAVE ACT. THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHERE IT WOULD
00:38:16LEAD. BUT MIRACULOUSLY, A DECADE
00:38:20LATER, THEY CAME BACK TO
00:38:23INDEPENDENCE HALL, AND THEY GATHERED TO SET THE SCAFFOLDING
00:38:26FOR OUR NEW NATION. SET UP THE
00:38:28BASIC LAWS AND TENANTS THAT
00:38:31WOULD GUIDE US FORWARD. THERE WERE A WHOLE LOT OF IMPORTANT
00:38:34WORDS WRITTEN ON THAT PARCHMENT
00:38:37IN THE DECLARATION AND IN THE CONSTITUTION, AND I WOULD ARGUE,
00:38:40THOUGH, THE MOST IMPORTANT WORDS WERE NEVER WRITTEN DOWN, THEY
00:38:43WERE UTTERED BY A GUY WHO WAS ONE OF FIVE PEOPLE TO SIGN BOTH.
00:38:47THE DECLARATION AND THE
00:38:50CONSTITUTION, A GUY WHOSE PORTRAIT HANGS ON MY WALL IN MY
00:38:53OFFICE, BECAUSE HE'S ONE OF MY PREDECESSORS, A GUY NAMED BEN
00:38:57FRANKLIN, FAMOUSLY, AFTER
00:39:03SIGNING THE CONSTITUTION, FRANKLIN WALKED OUT ONTO THE COBBLESTONE STREETS OF
00:39:05PHILADELPHIA, SURROUNDED BY
00:39:07SIXERS FANS. A WOMAN WALKED OVER TO HIM. SPEAKER JEFFRIES. A
00:39:11WOMAN WALKED OVER TO HIM AND I
00:39:15WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT THIS FOR A MOMENT. A WOMAN WALKS OVER TO
00:39:18HIM. AT THAT MOMENT, SHE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THE RIGHT TO
00:39:21VOTE. AT THAT MOMENT, AND SHE LOOKS AT HIM IN THE EYE AND
00:39:24SAYS, DR. FRANKLIN, WHAT DO WE
00:39:27HAVE HERE? A MONARCHY OR A
00:39:32REPUBLIC? FRANKLIN LOOKED HER IN THE EYE AND SAID THE MOST
00:39:35IMPORTANT WORDS IN OUR
00:39:38DEMOCRACY, A REPUBLIC. IF YOU CAN KEEP IT. THINK ABOUT IT.
00:39:42FRANKLIN. DID ALL THAT WORK. THE
00:39:45FOUNDERS DID ALL THAT WORK. BUT THEY LEFT THE POWER TO EACH AND
00:39:49EVERY ONE OF YOU. SUCCESSIVE
00:39:53GENERATIONS HAVE BEEN CALLED
00:39:55UPON TO STEP UP AND TO LEAD AND
00:39:59TO DO THEIR PART. WELL. WE ARE
00:40:01NOW THAT GENERATION, AND NO
00:40:03ONE'S COMING TO DO THIS WORK
00:40:06FOR US. WE CAN BE DOWN AND OUT AND FRUSTRATED ABOUT WHERE OUR
00:40:10DEMOCRACY IS TODAY BECAUSE OF
00:40:11DONALD TRUMP. OR WE CAN VOTE AND

00:42:41>> YEAH, YEAH. WELL, I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO
00:42:45HAVE LEADER JEFFRIES HERE. MADELEINE DEAN HERE. UH, THEY UNDERSTAND BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN
00:42:49FIGHTING THIS FIGHT NOW FOR YEARS, THAT AMERICANS ARE
00:42:53SUFFERING. THEY'RE SUFFERING BECAUSE OF A GOVERNMENT, A
00:42:54PRESIDENCY THAT'S JUST OUT OF
00:42:57CONTROL AND DOESN'T CARE ABOUT MAKING LIFE AFFORDABLE. WE NEED
00:43:00TO WIN THIS RACE. WE NEED TO WIN RACES ACROSS THIS COUNTRY,
00:43:03BECAUSE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED A GOVERNMENT THAT WORKS FOR THEM, AND NOT JUST FOR THE
00:43:07PEOPLE WHO ARE GETTING TAX BREAKS AT THE TOP. SO IT'S AN HONOR FOR THEM TO BE, YOU KNOW,
00:43:11FOR ME TO BE HERE WITH THEM, IT REALLY MEANS A LOT. THE GOVERNOR
00:43:14AS WELL, UM, THEY KNOW THAT THIS DISTRICT IS IMPORTANT. THEY KNOW
00:43:17THIS IS A RACE THAT, UH, THAT I'M GOING TO WIN. SO I'M GLAD
00:43:20TO HAVE THEM ON MY SIDE.
00:43:22>> KEVIN. >> TALK ABOUT JUST GENERALLY THE
00:43:25ROLE THAT, UH, GOVERNOR SHAPIRO HAS PLAYED IN THESE FLIPPABLE 4
00:43:29OR 5 OR WHATEVER NUMBER YOU WOULD LIKE TO CALL IT. UH, AND JUST KIND OF WHAT, WHAT THAT HAS
00:43:33LOOKED LIKE ON THE GROUND. >> WELL, FROM THE VERY BEGINNING
00:43:37OF THIS CONGRESS, THIS CYCLE,
00:43:40UH, AND THE TRAUMA THAT DONALD
00:43:42TRUMP HAS BEEN INFLICTING ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, GOVERNOR
00:43:46SHAPIRO HAS BEEN A GREAT
00:43:48PARTNER. HE IDENTIFIED THE
00:43:51CANDIDATES VERY EARLY ON, WHO HE
00:43:53THOUGHT WOULD BE STRONGLY
00:43:55POSITIONED TO FLIP THESE SEATS. BOB HARVEY WAS AMONG THOSE RIGHT
00:43:59AT THE TOP OF THE LIST. UH,
00:44:01WE'VE BEEN WORKING HARD TO MAKE
00:44:03SURE THAT EVERYONE HAS THE
00:44:06RESOURCES NECESSARY. THE
00:44:08ATTENTION AND ENERGY NECESSARY,
00:44:10UH, TO PROVIDE THE SUPPORT NECESSARY FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO
00:44:13MAKE THE CASE IN SUCH A COMPELLING WAY, WHICH IS EXACTLY
00:44:16WHAT BRISTOL. BOB HARVEY, UH,
00:44:18HAS BEEN DOING IN THIS HIGHLY
00:44:23COMPETITIVE DISTRICT THAT IS GOING TO BE CRITICALLY IMPORTANT
00:44:25TO OUR EFFORTS TO TAKE BACK CONTROL OF THE HOUSE.
00:44:28>> MR. JEFFRIES, IF YOU DON'T MIND, SPEAKER JOHNSON HAS BEEN
00:44:32TOUTING THIS WEEK A RECORD BREAKING FUNDRAISING CYCLE FOR
00:44:34HIM IN DIFFERENT GOP GROUPS AHEAD OF THE MIDTERMS. BUT THE
00:44:38SHIFT IN POLLS KEEP LEANING TOWARDS DEMOCRATS. WHY DO YOU
00:44:41THINK WE'RE SEEING THOSE FAVORS IN POLLS TOWARDS THE DNC? AND ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT THIS GAP
00:44:45AFFECTING. >> YOUR PARTY? >> WELL, WHAT'S INTERESTING IS
00:44:49THAT CYCLE TO DATE, HOUSE
00:44:51DEMOCRATS HAVE ACTUALLY
00:44:53OUTRAISED THE REPUBLICAN
00:44:57CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE. AND AFFILIATED GROUPS THAT ARE
00:45:00WORKING HARD FOR US TO TAKE BACK
00:45:02CONTROL OF THE HOUSE, HAVE HAD A RECORD BREAKING CYCLE BECAUSE OF
00:45:05THE FACT THAT THE AMERICAN
00:45:07PEOPLE RECOGNIZE THAT REPUBLICANS HAVE UNLEASHED
00:45:11UNPRECEDENTED EXTREMISM. THE COUNTRY HASN'T GOTTEN MORE
00:45:14AFFORDABLE. IT'S GOTTEN MORE EXPENSIVE. REPUBLICANS HAVE
00:45:18THROWN US INTO THIS RECKLESS AND
00:45:19COSTLY WAR OF CHOICE THAT, IN A MAJORITY, WITH BOB HARVEY AS A
00:45:23MEMBER OF CONGRESS, MADELEINE DEAN, CONTINUING TO FIGHT HARD,
00:45:27WE NEED TO END THIS WAR FOR THE SAKE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND
00:45:31FOR THE GOOD OF OUR OWN NATIONAL
00:45:34SECURITY. AND AS A RESULT OF THESE THINGS, WE'RE 24 DAYS
00:45:37AWAY FROM TAKING BACK CONTROL OF THE HOUSE, BECAUSE THE AMERICAN
00:45:40PEOPLE WANT US TO END THIS NATIONAL NIGHTMARE. >> ONE MORE QUESTION, PLEASE.
00:45:44LEADER JEFFRIES, YOU MENTIONED IN YOUR REMARKS EARLIER TODAY
00:45:48THAT DEMOCRATS CAN WIN THE HOUSE, BASICALLY, WITH WINNING STATES, WINNING DISTRICTS IN
00:45:51PENNSYLVANIA. CAN YOU TALK ABOUT A LITTLE BIT OF THE DEMOCRATS, UH, PUTTING RESOURCES INTO
00:45:55PENNSYLVANIA AND HOW YOU SEE THESE RACES PLAYING OUT HERE IN THIS STATE?
00:45:58>> WELL, THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT STATE. AND AS THE
00:46:01GOVERNOR MENTIONED, UH, THE
00:46:03COMMONWEALTH, UH, IS, YOU KNOW A
00:46:08BIG SWING STATE. AND BUCKS COUNTY IS A BIG SWING COUNTY.
00:46:11AND SO THIS IS A CRITICALLY
00:46:14IMPORTANT RACE. UH, WE LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO
00:46:17SUPPORT, OF COURSE, BOB, MAKING
00:46:19SURE WE SUPPORT JANELLE, MAKING
00:46:22SURE WE SUPPORT PAGE, UH, AND
00:46:27MAKING SURE WE SUPPORT THE OTHER. BOB.
00:46:29>> GOT A COUPLE BOBS. >> BOMBERO. BOB BROOKS UH, AND
00:46:33WE'VE GOT BRISTOL. BOB HARVEY HERE. SO IT'S A GREAT QUARTET
00:46:37OF CANDIDATES, AND THERE MAY BE SOME OTHER OPPORTUNITIES.
00:46:39>> YEAH. I LIKE TO. THROW IN RACHEL WALLACE, UH, IN THE DAN
00:46:43MEUSER SEAT. SHE IS DOING AN EXTRAORDINARY JOB. AND THE
00:46:47DIFFERENCE FROM THE MONEY TO THE QUALITY OF THE CANDIDATES, TO
00:46:50THE ENTHUSIASM YOU FEEL ON THE GROUND, YOU CAN SEE WHY THINGS
00:46:53ARE SHIFTING TOWARD LEAN DEMOCRAT IN ALL OF THAT. YOU
00:46:55CAN'T REPLICATE THAT WITH THE CORROSIVE, CORRUPT FOLKS WHO ARE
00:46:59RUNNING, UH, IN ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE. WE HAVE THE
00:47:03ENERGY, WE HAVE THE MOMENTUM. WE
00:47:06DO HAVE SERIOUS DOLLARS. VERY GENEROUS CONTRIBUTORS, BECAUSE
00:47:10THEY WANT TO PUT AN END TO THIS GROTESQUE MADNESS.
00:47:13>> ALSO VERY IMPORTANT TO POINT
00:47:15OUT THAT THEY HAVE UNLEASHED
00:47:18HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES ALL
00:47:20ACROSS THE COUNTRY. AND YET WE
00:47:24STILL ARE IN RANGE OF TAKING
00:47:26BACK CONTROL OF THE HOUSE, POTENTIALLY FLIPPING THE SENATE,
00:47:30CERTAINLY HOLDING OUR GOVERNORSHIPS, INCLUDING THE
00:47:33REELECTION OF JOSH SHAPIRO, AND PERHAPS FLIPPING SOME
00:47:37GOVERNORSHIPS IN UNEXPECTED
00:47:37PLACES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THE
00:47:41AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE FINISHED WITH MAGA EXTREMISM, AND WE'RE
00:47:44COMMITTED TO GETTING THE JOB DONE IN 24 DAYS. FAILURE IS NOT
00:47:47AN OPTION, AND WE'RE GOING TO TURN THE SITUATION AROUND IN
00:47:51THIS GREAT COUNTRY OF OURS. THANK YOU ALL. >> THANK YOU EVERYONE. THANK
