00:00The 2024 election is in full swing.
00:04And yes, age is an issue.
00:07I'm a grown man running against a six-year-old.
00:11Well, I feel great.
00:17I really feel great.
00:19I'm campaigning all over the country, Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina.
00:24I've always done well in the original 13 colonies.
00:30Age is the only thing we have in common.
00:33My vice president actually endorses me.
00:45I had a great stretch since the State of the Union, but Donald's had a few tough days lately.
00:52You might call it stormy weather.
00:56Trump's so desperate, he started reading those Bibles he's selling.
01:02Then he got to the first commandment, you shall have no other gods before me.
01:08That's when he put it down and said, this book's not for me.
01:13Journalism is clearly not a crime, not here, not there, not anywhere in the world.
01:22And Putin should release Evan and all suit immediately.
01:27Yes we're doing everything we can, we're doing everything we can to bring home journalists,
01:33fellow journalists, Austin and all Americans like Paul Well, you know, who wrongfully detained
01:39all around the world.
01:41We have to take this seriously.
01:43Eight years ago, you could have written off it as just Trump talk, but no longer, not
01:49after January 6th.
01:50I'm sincerely not asking of you to take sides, but I'm asking you to rise up to the seriousness
01:55of the moment.
01:58Move past the horse race numbers and the gotcha moments and the distractions, the sideshows
02:05that have come to dominate and sensationalize our politics and focus on what's actually
02:10at stake.
02:11And I think in your hearts, you know, what's at stake.
02:13The stakes couldn't be higher.
02:16Every single one of us has a role to play, a serious role to play in making sure democracy
02:22endures, American democracy.
02:23So tonight I'd like to make a toast to a free press, to an informed citizenry, to an America
02:35where freedom and democracy endure.
02:38God bless America.
