00:00Just to wrap up, in our thousands, in our millions, we are all here.
00:09Day in and day out, on multiple camp incarnatives.
00:13We've seen moments like this in the United States.
00:15The people united will ever be defeated.
00:21I'm glad that Biden stepped down, but Kamala's not a rubber stamp.
00:27She's got to show us, we've got to end that madness in the Middle East.
00:32We have to end it.
00:34There's a lot of us that are still non-committed, and she needs to know that she wants our vote.
00:39She's going to have to toe the line.
00:40I don't think I'm waiting for anything to hear from her.
00:41I'm waiting to see action from Kamala.
00:42And we haven't seen any action from Kamala towards ending the war in Israel.
00:52So it's really more action than words that I'm looking for, and I'm not really expecting
00:56anything from her at this time.
01:06I can tell you that the community is enraged from President Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
01:13We're here to tell them that they're not welcome here in Chicago, and they're not welcome as
01:15our presidents either.
01:17We do not support them.
01:18The billions of dollars that they sent to kill innocent little children, when they could
01:21have easily called for a ceasefire and had this war over with a long time ago.
01:26So we're here to tell them that they're not welcome here.
01:27They won't be having our votes this year.
