We are here live in Chicago for the Democratic National I guess we're live. Yeah, we were alive. We were barely alive.

I'm having a conversation. On tonight's show, Joe Biden addresses the Democratic Convention, and Donald Trump apparently thinks he's still running against him. Plus, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker stops by to talk about hosting the convention and why he's had so much success fighting back against Republican attacks. Bears and the bears and the white socks sucking and the white socks sucking and the cup. It was a wide ranging interview at the time. He was fun to talk to. You guys had a good time? He gave us beers. Before, he did? Yeah, we drank with him, we had a couple of beers. Oh, that's fun. Yeah. Well, Lovett and I went to go drink with some Votave America mollies. Yeah, also good. Everyone wins. That was really special. You guys want to talk a little bit about the convention first? What it's been like being here? For the last, it feels like we've been here for what? 96 hours straight without sleeping? That's just tonight's program. Should we paint a picture?

I said, uh, Dean Phillips, you son of a bitch, how dare you be right before it was- What'd I say? Uh, you were right too early, shame on you. Being right too early and then some random person came up and screamed. It's the retribution gang I don't even know what that means. I don't either either, but you know what it's a good time. It's joyous It is. People are fired up. People are fired up. There's energy, there's excitement, everyone's got a smile on their faces. We love that. All right, let's start with the first night is in the books of the most surprising and consequential Democratic National Convention of our lifetimes. There were many, many speakers, some might say too many speakers, but the headliners of course were Joe and Jill Biden and Hillary.

Clinton, Kamala Harris made a surprise appearance on stage. There were some really powerful testimonials from women whose pregnancies became nightmares under Dobbs. AOC and Steve Kerr gave fantastic speeches, but let's start with the man himself, Joe Biden. Quite a balancing act for him celebrating and also saying goodbye. Unfortunately, some of you might have missed it because the pre-program went so long that he got knocked out of prime time. Ridiculous. Every... I was mad on behalf of Joe Biden. It was... they bumped James Taylor to make room for Joe Biden, which means they gave - Gave James Taylor's spot to Jamie Raskin, tough town. - Or Chris Coons or somebody. - Chris Coons. - Chris Coons, yeah, Chris Coons. Anyway, if you did miss Joe Biden's speech, here are the highlights. I stand before you now on this August night to report that democracy is...
