We Are Going To Win

to a meadow. Right now. I feel in my spirit, in my bones that we are going to win, and not just when we are going to demolish Donald Trump and MAGA. There is something, and it was said by Hillary Clinton on Night one, there is something going on. And it is not just here in Chicago where I am right now, but it is happening around the country. The energy that people have, the hopefulness, the possibility, the patriotism, okay, that people are feeling around this candidate, around Vice President

Kamala Harris, around Tim Walls. It is extraordinary. And I'll be honest, I did not feel this in twenty sixteen. While I liked Hillary Clinton, I was not in love with Hillary Clinton the way that I loved the Obamas. I was not, you know, overcome. I wanted to experience history, which is why I went to the DNC in twenty sixteen. I wanted a woman to become president, and I know that Hillary Clinton at that time was the most qualified candidate to ever run for the presidency. At the same time,

I just you know, it wasn't the same vibe. But also the country was in a completely different place. We were coming off eight years of Obama, thinking that oh, this bravy train just gonna keep rolling, and it didn't. Not only did it stop, the whole shit was overturned and set on fire and introduced maga and darkness for the next eight to nine years. So when we are watching and experiencing this convention, it is a reclamation of our patriotism and our power, not just as Democrats but

as Americans. Because I've said this on so many shows and over so many years now, we have ceded too much fucking ground to the Republicans. We've allowed them to have a monopoly on faith, We've allowed them to have a monopoly on family values. We've allowed them to have a monopoly on patriotism right, when in fact they could give a fuck about your family. They don't even care

about their own. Evidence by Donald Trump and his inability to form any type of emotional feelings towards his actual fucking children, right, as evidence by jd Vance who went on Fox News to apologize for his wife not being white. It is evident who really cares about all families? Right? Who really cares about faith? When you allow people to exercise their faith in any which way that they choose.

It is evident that when you are working to build a multiracial coalition of people who want to see the American dream be possible, not just for themselves but for everyone, that is what patriotism looks like. One speech after the other, dear friends, over the last couple of days has been a reminder of the stark differences between Democrats and Republicans. One. It is evidenced just by looking in the crowds. Which

convention do you want to be at? Because the RNC look like a fucking wake right, it look like a handmaid's tail fucking rally. There was not a person of color in sight. You know, You had these people mimicking their so called leader with taping Maxi pads to their ears. They look stupid, they looked foolish, and it was a mess. Hulk Hogan on the stage ripping off his shirt, washed up rock stars singing their washed out songs. If that's what they think America like makes America great, you can

keep that shit to yourself. Then change the channel and you're at the DNC and our role call set the place on fire. First of all, I mean shout out to who planned this change of the role call with bringing out and I think it's d Nice. Who is the DJ that is dropping beats for every state? Little John folks, little John reppin' Georgia singing from the windows

to the walls. I mean, come the fuck on, you don't get better than that, right, You had New York with Jay Z and Alicia Key's Empire state of Mind. You had California with three songs My Highlight not like Us by Kendrick Lamar. I mean, we came armed to the teeth with joy. And when Morning Joe rolled out a video on their social media that said a tale of two roll calls, and you looked at the R and C in comparison to the DNC, I mean America. The choice is clear, right, what do you want your

future to look like? Because I'm sure as hell don't want that not to mention that after the roll call is done that we then zoom out from Chicago and head over to another stadium that is filled in Milwaukee where the Vice president and Governor Walls are for a rally. So you want to talk about who can pack stadiums, The Harris Walls team packed two at the same fucking time. You cannot make this stuff up. And let me tell you Barack Obama and that fucking slick dick joke that

he told about crowd size. I like to lose my mind inside of that arena alongside everybody else because the cackles and the gasps and the oh no, he fucking didn't was like echoed around that space. Let me just say this before I get into the Obamas, because they are worthy of their own like you know, however many minutes I can deliver, But let me talk to you first about the second gentleman. Doug em Off. First of all, the video that introduced him to the stage that his

children put together brought absolute tears to my eyes. Their love story, their family love story was beautiful, the perspective of their children and what it means to have a beautiful, big, blended family. That's America. You don't need to have birth children to be a mother, You don't need to share blood with people to create a family. And there are so many machinations of family that we have in this country.

And so for the Republican Party to try and say that, well, man and woman and two point five kids and only dogs we shoot and kill evidently is insane. And I just I have to say that I have a stepfather, right, I have friends that I consider my family, right, that I spend holidays with. The beauty of this country is that we all get to make our way right. It's not prescribed, and no it is not perfect, but it

is ours to make. And so his story of their love, how they built their family of just allowing us a little window into who he is. I tweeted this that night, and I said, this is what masculinity looks like. To love your kids, to love your wife, to stand up for what's right, because we, for too long have been fed nothing but a steady diet of toxic masculinity and misogyny, having us believe that ripping your shirt off and you know,

demeaning and dehumanizing other people is what makes you strong. Right. The comparison, the start, comparison to what true partnership should look like is what Doug m Hoff offered the American people, and that's what we should strive for. There were so many similarities in terms of you know, a writer and

feminist Jill Philipvit. She tweeted and said, so the theme of that night that Doug m Hoff and the Obama spoke were was men that married well, because you don't need to be in relationship with somebody that has you shrink your light in order to focus on them. But that's what Republicans would have you believe. Marriage is supposed to look like little woman staying at home, keeping our fucking mouth shut, uterus full, and dinner on the table.

That's that nineteen fifties, nineteenth century bullshit that they want to offer up in Project twenty twenty five. I tell you that there isn't a clearer vision of who the country is and can be than what we have been seeing over the last couple of days. And so with that, let me transition to what had me leave my body as a spiritual experience, which was our forever flowtus. Michelle missed me with the bullshit Obama Lord. That speech is

going to be studied in schools. It was the best political speech I have ever heard in my entire life, Not just the best one that Michelle Obama gave, but the best one I have ever fucking heard. For years, zup, I have wanted Democrats to fight back, to take on the bully because we are fucking better, and all they do is fucking gripe and wine. Michelle Obama drag Donald Trump for fucking filth. She called that man small. I

don't know how many fucking times. Narrow talked about the affirmative action of generational wealth that the rest of us will never benefit from, talking about the multiple chances that these motherfuckers get to fail up right, where most of us will only get one chance if that. She talked about the fact that we do not need to get ourselves locked in this quote unquote Goldie locks ideology where everything has to be just right, otherwise we sit around

and wring our hands. No, Michelle Obama took us to fucking school and church and to the moon and back. She talked about MAGA, she talked about Trump, She talked about who we are and that they do not get to have a monopoly on what it means to be an American. And I have told y'all that my patriotism

has grown by leaps and bounds. It is restored. I feel regenerated over this last month because I seated ground to those people that told me that I should be ashamed and embarrassed by this country, that I don't belong here no more. I was at an event with HRC and Planned Parenthood. HRC Human Rights Campaign is an LGBTQ national organization, Planned Parenthood you all know, reproductive health organization, and we were chanting usay, USA, usay at that event

like we were at the fucking Olympics. Because that's how people are feeling. They don't get to claim patriotism, they don't get to own it and own this flag. We are taking that back. And as Michelle Obama said, hope is making a comeback. And I have never felt more energized, more static, more on fire than I have over the last four weeks. And I cannot believe that it has only been a month, because while I can't believe it has been a month, it also feels like four fucking

years have passed. We are living in an extraordinary time, folks, This is an extraordinary time. We have such incredible opportunity in this moment to create a new path and vision for America that has America live up to the possibility of who it can be, the Unfinished Promise. As Michelle Obama said, the Obamas sixteen years ago made us rethink who is supposed to be president, who this country belongs to.

They opened up our eyes, our hearts, our sense of hope, and they did it again here by telling us that it is each of our jobs to protect Kamala Harris because they are going to come for her in the way that they came for the Obamas. And what do we have to do, as she said, and as the arena, chanted do something. We are not going to sit around and wring our hands because we do not have time for anxiety. We do not have time to allow negativity

to take over us. This is our fucking time. This is our country, and we are going to take it back, village by village, city by city, and state by fucking state. I believe in the possibility of this moment. I believe that the people are energized. We have less than seventy six days to go, and we have to do everything we can can every day that we can in order to get the Harris Wolls ticket over the finish line

with numbers that can't be suppressed with their bullshit. It is on us that is it for me today, Dear friends on Woke af AS always, power to the people and to all the people. Power, get woke and stay woke as fuck.
