00:00The first black female vice president of the United States,

00:04Vice President Kamala Harris!

00:09Freedom, freedom, I can't move.

00:11Freedom caught me losing.

00:14Freedom, freedom, where are you?

00:17Cause I need freedom too.

00:19I'll break chains all by myself.

00:22Won't let my freedom rot in hell.

00:27This is probably the most significant election of our lifetime.

00:30You know, we have said it every four years,

00:33but this here one is it.

00:36We are looking at an election that will take place in 122 days.

00:42122.

00:44Where on one side, you have the former president,

00:49who is running to become president again,

00:52who has openly talked about his admiration of dictators

00:55and his intention to be a dictator on day one.

00:58Who has openly talked about his intention to weaponize

01:02the Department of Justice against his political enemies.

01:06Who has talked about being proud of taking from the women of America

01:11a most fundamental right to make decisions about your own body.

01:16And then last week, understand,

01:19sadly the press has not been covering it as much as they should

01:22in proportion to the seriousness of what just happened,

01:25when the United States Supreme Court

01:28essentially told this individual who has been convicted of 34 felonies

01:36that he will be immune from essentially the activity he has told us

01:42he is prepared to engage in if he gets back into the White House.

01:48Understand what we all know.

01:52In 122 days, we each have the power to decide

01:57what kind of country we want to live in.

02:01Understand what we know.

02:05When there has been a full-on intentional attack

02:09against hard-fought, hard-won freedoms and rights,

02:13I think we all believe and know

02:15one does not have to abandon their faith

02:18and deeply held beliefs to agree

02:21the government should not be telling her what to do with her body.

02:27Understand that the former president, who is up for re-election,

02:31has said he is proud of what has happened.

02:34Proud of the fact that our daughters will have fewer rights than their grandmothers.
