00:00The former president and first lady returned to their hometown Chicago for the Democratic
00:04Convention and Michelle Obama, up first, was striking an optimistic note.
00:11America, hope is making a comeback.
00:15In a rapturously received speech to the party faithful, Michelle Obama skewered Donald Trump's
00:20business failures, comparing him unfavorably with the Democratic nominee, who she said
00:25was more connected with ordinary Americans.
00:28Of the two major candidates in this race, only Kamala Harris truly understands the unseen
00:35labor and unwavering commitment that has always made America great.
00:40There is no other choice than Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, no other choice.
00:47She was followed by her husband, the 44th president of the United States, who made a
00:51similarly impassioned argument for Kamala Harris.
00:55Someone who sees you and hears you and will get up every single day and fight for you.
01:05The next president of the United States of America, Kamala Harris.
01:11Obama also made withering remarks about his old adversary Donald Trump, mocking his constant
01:16complaints and obsession with crowd sizes, and he said America couldn't risk a second
01:22Trump presidency.
01:24We do not need four more years of bluster and bumbling and chaos.
01:31We have seen that movie before and we all know that the sequel is usually worse.
01:37A pair of speeches that made a strong case for the Harris-Walz ticket, though neither
01:41were there to witness it.
01:43They were just a 90 minute drive north in Milwaukee, at a rally in front of 15,000 people,
01:48in the very same arena where the Republicans held their convention last month.
01:52Kamala Harris will make her speech to the Democratic convention on Thursday night.
