Episode IV: A New Hope

On Monday, July 22, 2024, one day after President Biden bravely ended his re-election run for a second term and endorsed his vice president as his replacement, Vice President Kamala Harris paid her first visit to the “Harris for President” campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, to meet the campaign staff and make a few remarks.

With only 106 days left until the general election on November 5th, and no time to waste, with a nation on edge over what may be the biggest threat ever to our Democracy with the Republican nominee, Donald Trump, still seething over his removal of office by voters in 2020, having vowed to seek revenge and, if elected, “be a dictator on Day One,” she stepped up to the podium. And delivered.

It is my hope that every one of you will take 10 short minutes and watch what I think is one of the best political speeches I’ve witnessed in my lifetime. Powerful. Real. Laser-focused and uplifting. Exactly what we need.

And for all of you who have been in a deep despair, get ready to be jolted off your sofa.

Hit play.

** In order to have a troll-free, hate-free comments section — and because if there’s one thing I know about my crazy haters, they would rather spend an eternity in hell with Marjorie Taylor Greene than send me $5 if forced to become a paid subscriber — my Comments section here on my Substack is limited to paid subscribers. But, not to worry — anyone can send me their comments, opinions and thoughts by writing to me at mike@michaelmoore.com. I read every one of them, though obviously I can’t respond to all. The solution here is not optimal but it has worked and my Comments section has become a great meeting place for people wanting to discuss the ideas and issues I raise here. There is debate and disagreement, but it is refreshing to have it done with respect and civility, unfettered by the stench of bigotry and Q-anon insanity.
