Now the right wing has thrown everything at hillary. Not only the kitchen sink, not only the stove, but the refrigerator and the toaster, too. And you know what . Shes still standing. They have thrown everything at her and shes still standing. Americas families need hillary in the white house standing with all of us. We need a president who knows its just plain wrong that women make 79 cents for every dollar paid to a man, yet her opponent refuses to support equal pay. He says quote, the marketplace is going to make sure of it. Well, its 2016 and were still waiting, mr. Trump. We can count on hillary to fight to raise the minimum wage. Her opponent says wages are too high. Now, thats unamerican, because in our great country, if you work fulltime, you should never, ever have to live in poverty. We can count on hillary. We can count on hillary to protect our right to choose. Her opponent said a woman should be punished for exercising her right to choose, and then picked a running mate who believes roev wade belongs, to quote him, in the ash heap of history. Well, i have a message for donald trump and mike pence. We are not going back to the dark days when women died in back alleys. We are never, ever, ever going back. Never. We are moving forward with Hillary Clinton. You know, theres a lot of talk about what makes America Great. Well, ill tell you this. Its not when we insult each other. Its not when we tear each other down. Its when we stand together. Its when we work together. Its when we build together. Its when we fight together. And thats what makes America Great, and thats what Hillary Clinton will do and that is why im telling you tonight, Hillary Clinton will be our next president of the United States of america. Thank you, california. Thank you, america. Thank you. Senator Barbara Boxer addressing the crowd. Michael, we saw before very moving moments from what have been called mothers of the movement, mothers who have lost children, some to being killed by Police Officers and others, one by gang violence. The leading police union in philadelphia, though, said it was insulted that clinton did not invite family members of fallen Police Officers to address here. Is that something, you compare this to what we saw the Republican Convention and it is really a tale of kind of two americas. Sadly, it is. I happen to think they have a point. Im a father of four. I cant imagine a fate worse than losing a child. I want to say that at the outset so i have great sympathy and compassion for the mothers that we met. But the f. O. P. Said they were shocked and saddened and what they wanted was a widow representation of the families of fallen Police Officers. What really pains me is to see that its an either or. That somehow if we are in cleveland its Blue Lives Matter, the sheriff from milwaukee, and we are here in philadelphia, my hometown, and its the moms of those who have fallen victim to Police Shootings. I dont know why it cant be both. Why you cant be sympathetic to the moms on the stage and also sympathetic to the Police Officers. I have to say, i think that i agree with michael. I think this was a missed opportunity. We should point out there were mothers on that stage, the mother of hadiya pendleton, who was 15 years old who lost her life a few miles from the president s home in chicago, shot by a gang member. So it wasnt just Police Shootings up there. But the families of Police Officers grieve for their lost losses as well. It would have been a healing moment to get everyone on the same stage to say we have to stop the violence. Stop the violence. It would have, but i think we have to be careful of false equivalency. At the Republican National convention, the black lives Matter Movement was demonized. Nobody here has demonized it. In fact, the police chief of pittsburgh did speak. The attorney general spoke specifically about the vicious murders against Police Officers. Obviously like all good people, he condemned them. One of the mothers of the movement said this. The majority of Police Officers are good people doing a good job. Thats praising Police Officers. Her son jordan davis was not killed by a cop. These were all moms of kids who were killed by cops. I think these moms, the cops who spoke, Law Enforcement officials are trying to find that unity. I have to say i didnt see that in cleveland. I dont want to say a tweet was sent out from the New York Times saying can i ask a political question based on polls i have seen, maybe the clinton folks should consider doing a section devoted to white noneducated males. It seems they are clearly playing to their base as they saw the Republican Party as well. I think they are. I think thats what you do at the start of a convention. I think at some point you have to broaden out. Maybe the Clinton Campaign is making the calculation that as jake said earlier, you just get the Obama Coalition together and you can win that way. I was at a lunch with john podesta, chairman of the campaign, who said we have to get this balance right. We are really aware of it. Blue lives matter, black lives matter, and i think they will make an effort to broaden it out. We havent seen that. They have to make more of an effort. Im from a Law Enforcement family. My dad was a cop in the military. My uncle just retired as a Police Officer. I do think they need to the fact that Police Officers are being murdered in this country deliberately for political reasons is an outrage. I think the democrats need to stand up against that a little bit louder than we have seen so far. We are picking which funeral we will cry about in america . Jeffrey . One of the things somebody quoted Hillary Clinton as saying, we have to name the injustice. For the life of me, i cannot understand, it seems like such a simple thing. I saw something in the democratic platform about taking confederate flags and putting them in museums or some such thing. Fine by me. I have never understood why after 176 years of writing political platforms, the Democratic Party doesnt simply say we were responsible for slavery and segregation, we apologize and we, you know, lets name the injustice. We were the ones responsible for creating this culture of racism in this country and were sorry. I dont understand whats wrong with that. Historically, thats absolutely right. The democrats were not only the party of slavery but of segregation and jim crow and lynching and all of that. I have to say, we kind of got over it, jeffrey. We just elected a black man twice. Excuse me. We are now the party that earns 90 plus of the africanamerican vote by dint of hard work and advocacy. I appreciate all this advice. Adam is a terrific guy. But as a political consultant he makes a great reporter. A brick is not a wall. Stay tuned. Theres a guy i know used to be governor of arkansas, talks pretty good talk to noncollege white men. We should also point out he will give a hell of a speech that noncollege white men talking about Police Officer joe sweeney, detective with the nypd, served during the 9 11 attacks, is about to come out. According to his biography, he rushed the World Trade Center when it was hit, and after that we will hear from someone wounded in the 9 11 attacks, spent six months in the hospital. My name is joe sweeney and i served as an nypd officer and detective for 21 years. Im proud of every day that i served my city and my country. But im especially proud that i served on our worst day. Beginning that horrible morning, we worked in the smoke and the ash to search first for survivors, then for remains and then to begin clearing the rubble. Police officers, firefighters, iron workers, machine operators, neighbors and friends all joined together to help. We have a job to do and we did our best. At the time, the epa assured us that the air at ground zero was safe to breathe. That information was dead wrong. Thousands of my friends and brothers and sisters in blue were exposed to harmful toxins that have caused Lifelong Health problems. And when we needed someone to speak for us to stand with us, to fight on our behalf, Hillary Clinton was there every step of the way. Within 48 hours of the towers falling, hillary introduced a bill signed into law that helped First Responders get the benefits they earned easier and faster. Then she pressured the epa to launch a new task force and led congressional hearings until the epa admitted that the air hadnt been safe. A lot of people moved on. They thought everything was fine. But Hillary Clinton kept in touch and kept at it. Ten years later, hillary was still our toughest champion, making sure we still got our health benefits. Im at this podium tonight because like First Responders across america, senator clinton has devoted her career to a simple creed, protect and serve. Time and again, secretary clinton has kept her promises, including to the extraordinary Lauren Manning. My name is Lauren Manning and when i arrived at the World Trade Center on september 11th, 2001, i was a partner at Cantor Fitzgerald. I was a wife and a mother. A moment later, i found myself in the midst of the worst peacetime attack in this nations history. I was catastrophically burned over 82 of my body. My chances of survival, next to zero. I battled for months to live and for years to recover. I fought in tribute [ applause ] thank you. I fought in tribute to my friends and colleagues at Cantor Fitzgerald that i lost that day and all the 2,996 people who were killed. I fought to honor our troops who were fighting and continued to fight on the front lines for each and every one of us around the world. And i fought to return to my young son, 10 months old at the time. I fought as hard as i could so that the terrorists would not get one more. Hillary clinton stood with me through that fight and in the darkest of days, and in the hardest of times, the people who show up in your life are the ones that mean everything. Hillary showed up. She walked into my hospital room and she took my bandaged hand into her own. Our connection wasnt between a senator and a constituent. It was person to person and as a Woman Working in business for years, i know you had to be tough and in that woman is a hell of a tough person. For years, for years she visited, called and continues to check in because hillary cares. When i needed her, she was there. When our First Responders needed her, she was there. When new york needed her, she was there. I trusted her when my life was on the line and she came through. Not for the cameras, not because anyone was watching, but because thats who she is. Kind, caring, loyal. She had my back. This is the Hillary Clinton i want you to know. She was there for me and thats why im with her. Thank you. Please welcome to the podium representative Joseph Crowley from new york. It was a beautiful day. Not a cloud in the sky. It was just after 9 00 a. M. And i was waiting on the run way at laguardia to fly back to washington. Then i got the news. Two planes had crashed into the World Trade Center. I raced out of the terminal, i tried calling my two cousins, both members of the new York City Fire department. We had grown up together in working class queens, new york. They were supposed to be off duty that day but then the call came in. Both brothers responded. Only one came home. On september 12th, i stood at what had been the World Trade Center. All that remained was smoke and ash. My cousin, battalion chief john moran, was listed amongst the missing but deep down, i knew he wasnt coming home. Neither were the other 342 missing firefighters. The weight of the loss was heavy but there by my side was Hillary Clinton. Hillary clinton, the new york senator. Hillary clinton, my friend. She understood the pain my family, our city, our nation were under. She fought to help our city rebuild and she delivered. People forget but the assistant package that was first proposed didnt have a dime, not a dime, for new york. Hillary helped turn that around, securing 20 billion we needed to get new york going again. But she didnt stop there. Hundreds worked on the pile in the days after 9 11. First they came to find survivors, but eventually searched for remains. They didnt worry about their own health. They were told the air was fine. But it wasnt. And when Health Issues emerged years later, Hillary Clinton was still by their side. She brought families and First Responders to washington. She took them door to door, never letting her colleagues forget the consequences of that terrible day. For almost a decade, hillary never gave up and she was there with us when the 9 11 health and compensation act was finally passed. But let me ask you something. Where was donald trump in the days and months and the years after 9 11 . He didnt stand at the pile. He didnt Lobby Congress for help. He didnt fight for the First Responders. Nope. He cashed in. Collecting 150,000 in federal funds intended to help Small Businesses recover, even though days after the attack, trump said his properties were not affected. Hillary sought those funds to help local mom and pop shops get back on their feet. Donald trump sought a payday for his empire. It was one of our nations darkest days but to trump, it was just another chance to make a quick buck. Hillary has never and will never forget the reality of that day. And thats why she will never give up on making us a better and stronger nation. My cousin john carried with him a quote from teddy roosevelt. It reads in part, it is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who was actually in the arena, whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood who strives valiantly. My friends, this is the Hillary Clinton i know. The doer of deeds who i have stood and worked and fought alongside. This is the Hillary Clinton i believe in. The proven fighter who has been devoted and has devoted herself to helping american families, American Workers and cops and firefighters and First Responders, helping all americans, and this is the Hillary Clinton i support. The one who has been in the arena, who knows what it will take to keep america safe and defeat and destroy isis and has demonstrated the leadership and determination we need in our next president. My fellow democrats, my fellow americans, im with her. Im with hillary. Because hillary has always, always been with us. Congressman joe crowley of new york. Theres a lot more ahead. Hillary clinton plans to thank delegates tonight for her historic president ial nomination. And bill clinton has been on the Convention Stage many times before but never like tonight. Stay with us.
