Mark Kelly [00:00:01]
Hello, Chicago. 

Mark Kelly [00:00:06]
Hello, Democrats. 

Mark Kelly [00:00:19]
So President Obama had to follow Michelle. I had to follow Gabby in pink. 

Mark Kelly [00:00:32]
Gabby amazes me every single day. 

Mark Kelly [00:00:40]
She was able to walk out and address you tonight because she's a fighter. 

Mark Kelly [00:00:49]
And thanks to a team of doctors, nurses, and especially her speech therapist, we all need a team. I've flown into space four times. 

Mark Kelly [00:01:10]
I've flown into combat nearly 40 times. 

Mark Kelly [00:01:18]
Not once did I do that by myself. It took a team to accomplish a mission. It always does. I flew in the navy. During the first Gulf war, America rallied our allies to kick out a tyrant who invaded a neighbor. 

Mark Kelly [00:01:45]
Today, Vladimir Putin is testing whether we're still that strong. Iran, North Korea, and especially China. Watch closely. What's Trump's answer? He invited Russia to do, and these are his words, not mine, whatever the hell they want. 

Mark Kelly [00:02:18]
Vice President Harris has always championed America's support for NATO, for Ukraine, and for the ukrainian people on the Senate intelligence Committee. She investigated russian interference in our election. She defends free and fair elections everywhere. You already know how Trump feels about those. Donald Trump skipped his intelligence briefings. 

Mark Kelly [00:03:00]
He was too busy sucking up to dictators and dreaming of becoming one himself. 

Mark Kelly [00:03:11]
Trump thinks that Americans who have made the ultimate sacrifice are suckers and losers. 

Mark Kelly [00:03:24]
If we fall for that again and make him the commander in chief, the only suckers would be us. 

Mark Kelly [00:03:34]
Kamala Harris knows that standing with our allies means standing up for Americans. 

Mark Kelly [00:03:47]
She'll keep modernizing our military to support our troops and to support our veterans, like our next vice president, Tim Walls. 

Mark Kelly [00:04:02]
The world laughs at Trump, literally. But, folks, it is not funny. When he was president, that meant the world was laughing at us. The threats we face are too serious. The sacrifices our service members make are too sacred. 

Mark Kelly [00:04:27]
The alliances weve spent decades building are too critical. Thats whats at stake now. And the choice, the choice isnt even close. But in Arizona and nationwide, this election will be. 

Mark Kelly [00:04:51]
We'll win in the same way we launch rockets into space and land fighter jets on an aircraft carrier as one team on one mission, state by state, voter by voter, coming together. No country, no country is better than ours at solving big problems. So on November 5, let's prove that America is still the leader the world needs today by, uh, electing the leader we need right now, Kamala Harris. Thank you, everybody. Thank you.
