00:00Please welcome Governor Tony Evers.
00:31Hello. I love all of you. Thank you, West Atlas. How the heck are you?
00:42Now, you know, you know, guys, you know me. And I don't get wound up about much.
00:51But on the Tony Evers excitement scale that goes from holy mackerel and maxes out at
01:01heck yes, I am jazzed as hell to be welcoming our next Democratic nominee to Wisconsin,
01:15Vice President Kamala Harris. Are you ready to hear from the next president of the United
01:24States of America? Yes. Me too. After listening to all the Republicans who dropped by here
01:33for a few days last week, it'll be nice, nice to finally hear someone who knows something
01:40about getting things done for the great state of Wisconsin. Now, Vice President Kamala Harris
01:48is ready to lead from day one. She's already proven herself to be a tenacious leader,
01:54district attorney, attorney general and U.S. senator. And as our vice president, Kamala
02:00has vigorously defended our democracy, fought hard, very hard to protect our freedoms that
02:09we hold dear, and worked tirelessly to do the right thing and deliver for us. And that's
02:19why yesterday I joined my favorite Midwestern governors, Davey Pritzker, Gretchen Whitmer
02:25and Tim Walz, to announce that I am all in on Kamala Harris. So the question is, the
02:36question I have for all of you here today is, are you all in Wisconsin? Yes! Yes! You're
02:47there because we've got a lot of work to do. We have 105 days, and we do not have a minute
02:53to waste. This is an all-hands-on-deck or a make-or-break-it moment for our democracy
02:59here in the great state of Wisconsin. Because here's the truth about two guys in this race.
03:07Donald Trump and J.D. Vance are a dangerous threat to our country, to our democracy. They're
03:18not running to help others, they're running to serve themselves. They're not capable of
03:23being honest or telling the truth. And Donald Trump and J.D. Vance have a radical agenda,
03:31and they plan to pursue it if they get into the Oval Office. So if you haven't seen it,
03:37Google Project 2025. It looks like you already have. Look it up when you get home and send
03:46it on to others. It's extraordinary, extraordinarily horrible. And we all know that they'll work
03:53hard to enact a national abortion ban. Trump's running mate, J.D. Vance, has said that loud
04:04and clear, and I'm serious. Look it up if you don't believe it. Vance said he'd like
04:10abortion to be, quote, illegal nationally. We're going to stop him. He called the U.S.
04:18Supreme Court's decision overturning Roe historic and, quote, put a new era of society
04:26into motion. We have to stop that motion, folks. I'll tell that to Wisconsin women who
04:31spent a year experiencing what it's like to live in a state that bans nearly all abortions,
04:38even cases of rape or incest. If that's the new society Donald and Vance want, they're
04:47going to have to sell it someplace else because we don't want it here. And we're going to
04:54let them know that next November. Donald Trump and J.D. Vance's path, seizing power, destroying
05:01our democracy and taking away our freedoms, runs right through the state of Wisconsin,
05:08and we are going to stop them. We have a choice between this November, between the choice
05:20that's never been clearer. We have a choice between those who want more for themselves
05:26and someone who wants better for all of us. We have a choice between those who want to
05:31conquer by dividing and someone who wants to build by unifying. We have a choice between
05:37those who want to turn back to the past and someone who wants to go forward into the future.
05:44So here's what we're going to do, Wisconsin. We're going to work hard for a battle-tested
05:51leader who's not afraid of the truth. We're going to work hard over the next 100 days
05:56for a person who puts people first. We're going to deliver Wisconsin for a woman who
06:03has never forgotten where she came from or the state that helped raise her. And we are
06:12going to help elect the first woman as president of the United States of America. And her name
06:22is Kamala Harris. Today is a brand new day, Wisconsin, and we've only got 105 days left.
06:39Let's make them count. Let's get to work. And let's win this damn thing. Let's go.
06:46Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
06:53Please welcome United States Senator Tammy Baldwin.
