COULD HEAR FROM HER.

WE'LL SEE YOU AGAIN TONIGHT AT 10.

BEFORE WE LET YOU GO, SOME FINAL THOUGHTS FROM FORMER CONGRESSMAN LUIS GUTIERREZ AND ILLINOIS HOUSE REPUBLICAN LEADER TONY KOBE.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT WALLS AND HIS MILITARY SERVICE LEADER.

MCCONNELL BE LET'S START WITH YOU.

HOW DO YOU THINK THE MATCHUP WE'LL GO BETWEEN 2 WALLS AND JD VANCE.

WELL, I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE BOTH FAIRLY NEW TO THE SCENE.

ALSO BOTH FROM THE MIDWEST.

AND I THINK A LOT OF WHETHER YOU'RE REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THEIR CANDIDATE.

SO I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE EXCITED TO TO DO THAT.

I KNOW WE ARE ON OUR SIDE FOR SURE AND CERTAINLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THE DEBATE THAT'S COMING FORWARD.

THIS THIS ELECTION IS ABOUT, ARE YOU BETTER OFF THAN YOU WERE 4 YEARS AGO?

AND I WOULD SAY THE ANSWER IS NO.

SO WE REALLY NEED TO HEAR WHAT THE PLATFORM IS IS HOW WE'RE GOING TO BE BETTER.

AND I THINK THE THE DEBATES ARE GOING TO SHOW US A LITTLE BIT OF THAT.

LUIS GUTIERREZ, FIRST OF THANK YOU FOR HAVING DTW AND PUBLIC BROADCASTING IS DONE SO MUCH.

NOT ONLY TO ALLOW MY VOICE TO BE HEARD, BUT SO MANY VOICES.

I JUST WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY SAY THE FILING.

WHEN I STARTED IN THE CHICAGO CITY COUNCIL.

THERE WAS A VOTE AND THE RIGHTS ACT.

IT FAILED.

IT FAILED.

IT PASSED 3 YEARS LATER IN 1996.

UNFORTUNATELY, BILL CLINTON.

SIGNED INTO LAW THE DEFENSE OF MARRIAGE ACT WHICH SAID THAT A MARRIAGE WAS EXCLUSIVE BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN.

WHAT A GREAT COUNTRY WE LIVE IN THAT I WAS BORN WITH SEPARATE BUT EQUAL WAS THE LOVE THAT LED PEOPLE GAVE UP THEIR LIVES SO I COULD LIVE FREE IN THIS COUNTRY OF FREEDOM.

AND TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A GAME AND SPEAK AT THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

WE'VE COME A LONG WAY AND WE DON'T WANT TO TURN BACK NOW.

THERE IS SO MUCH MORE NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

BUT OF COURSE, THE GAME AND YOU'RE REFERRING TO TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY PETE BUTTIGIEG, MAYOR PETE, FORMER MAYOR OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, Y OR I GUESS I SHOULD SAY.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE MATCHUP ALSO BETWEEN JD VANCE AND TIM WALZ?

ALL I LOVED KATIE I DEMOCRATS, WE JUST SAY THEY'RE WEIRD BECAUSE THEY JUST REALLY ARE WHERE.

WANT TO SAY THE FOLLOWING.

I HAVE LEARNED MY MOST VALUABLE LESSON ABOUT REPRODUCTIVE RIGHT FROM MY WIFE.

WE WERE DRIVING BY AND SHE HUNG UP, SAID HOME FOR CHOICE.

I SAID HONEY, WHY DID YOU HOME?

AND SHE SAID TO ME.

BECAUSE THIS IS MY BODY WEISE.

INCEST OR RAPE.

I WAS TO BECOME PREGNANT.

I WOULD HAVE THAT CHILD.

BUT I'M GOING TO DEFEND EVERY WOMAN'S RIGHT TO FOLLOW HER CONSCIENCE AND OF HER AND I AGREE HER THAT DAY, MY WIFE'S CONVICTION TOOL.

THE RIGHTS OF OTHER WOMEN FOR THOSE WANTING TO BE HEARD.

CERTAINLY SOMETHING WE'VE
