ILLINOIS LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR JULIANA STRATTON.

NOW WE GO TO NIC BLUMBERG IN ANOTHER PART OF THE UNITED CENTER AS DELEGATES ARE FILING OUT WITH A LOOK AT WHAT FORMER ILLINOIS CONGRESSMAN REPUBLICAN ADAM KINZINGER AND OTHERS HAD TO SAY FROM THE STAGE TONIGHT.

NICK.

THAT'S RIGHT, RANDI, IS THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHERS ON THE STAGE TONIGHT.

SOME STAR POWER.

INDEED.

WE HEARD THE THE CHECKS PERFORM THE NATIONAL ANTHEM AND 3 PART HARMONY.

WE HAD AN ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE FROM THERE WAS ALSO THERE WAS ALSO A VERY IMPRESSIVE DRUMLINE PERFORMANCE FROM CHICAGO'S OWN THE PACK.

NOW, EVEN THOUGH AMERICA IS IN A MONARCHY, A LOT OF PEOPLE EXPECTED TO SEE A QUEEN TONIGHT, QUEEN BEE THAT IS NO BEYONCE.

AFTER ALL THAT, OF COURSE, HARRIS DID TAKE THE STAGE AND CELEBRATE AFTERWARDS WITH BEYONCE SONG FREEDOM WHICH SHE HAS BEEN USING FOR THE LAST FEW WEEKS.

NOW, DEMOCRATS HAVE ALSO BEEN ROLLING OUT A LOT OF REPUBLICANS ON THIS STAGE OVER THE COURSE OF THE WEEK TRUMP STAFFERS REGRETFUL TRUMP VOTERS.

AS YOU MENTIONED, WE HEARD FROM FORMER CONGRESSMAN ADAM KINZINGER.

HE SERVED ON THE JANUARY 6TH COMMISSION.

NOW HE'S PART OF A GROUP CALLED REPUBLICANS FOR HARRIS KINZINGER SAID HE HAS A MESSAGE FOR HIS FELLOW REPUBLICANS.

HE'S DISCOVERED THAT DEMOCRATS ARE JUST AS PATRIOTIC AS THEY ARE.

I'VE LEARNED SOMETHING ABOUT MY PARTY, TOO.

SOMETHING I COULDN'T IGNORE.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS NO LONGER CONSERVATIVE.

IT HAS SWITCHED ITS ALLEGIANCE FROM THE PRINCIPLES THAT GAVE THAT PURPOSE TO A MAN WHOSE ONLY PURPOSE IS HIMSELF.

WE ALSO HEARD FROM ONE OF CAN SING OR HIS FORMER COLLEAGUES WHO, COURSE, STILL SERVING IN U.S. HOUSE.

THAT IS RAJA KRISHNAMOORTHI.

NOW HE'S ON A HOUSE COMMITTEE THAT LOOKS AT AMERICAN COMPETITION WITH THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY.

KRISHNAMOORTHI TOLD THE ROOM THAT CHINA ABSOLUTELY WANTS TO SEE TRUMP AT THE BARGAINING TABLE.

BECAUSE HE'LL START ENDLESS TRADE WARS THAT RAISE PRICES FOR AMERICANS BECAUSE HE'LL CUT PROGRAMS THAT TRAIN WORKERS IN AMERICA.

BUT MOST OF ALL TRUMP WILL PIT AMERICAN AGAINST AMERICAN.

AND NIC, AMONG THE OTHER, ILLINOIS INTO TOOK THE STAGE TONIGHT, ONE WAS NOT A TELL US ABOUT AND REVEAL CHANCE.

THAT'S RIGHT.

HE SPOKE ALONG WITH A GROUP OF PEOPLE DURING THE CONVENTION THAT THEY BILLED AS A CONVERSATION ABOUT GUN VIOLENCE 2 YEARS AGO.

HE WAS A HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR IN BELMONT, CRAIG.

HE AND A CLASSMATE WERE JUST OUTSIDE SCHOOL GROUNDS WHEN THAT CLASSMATE WAS SHOT AND WOUNDED IN A DRIVE-BY.

THE 6 SCHOOLS ARE FOR LEARNING.

AND I DID LEARN A LOT THAT DAY.

I LEARNED HOW TO RUN.

HOW TO HIDE AND DROP.

THAT.

WHAT HAPPENS IN THE NEWS CAN HAPPEN TO ME.

BUT I LEARNED SOMETHING ELSE, TOO.

THAT WE CAN WRITE AND MUST WRITE A NEW STORY.

WE CHOOSE TO.

WE'VE HEARD A LOT OF MESSAGES LIKE THAT THROUGHOUT THIS WEEK.

SOMBER REFLECTIVE, HEARTFELT TOUCHING ON NOT JUST GUN VIOLENCE, BUT THINGS LIKE FERTILITY STRUGGLES, WRONGFUL IMPRISONMENT, SURVIVING ASSAULT.

BUT DEMOCRATS HAVE ALSO BEEN EMPHASIZING A MESSAGE OF JOY.

IT'S ALMOST BECOME A RUNNING JOKE TO COUNT HOW MANY TIMES YOU HEAR THE WORD.

AND THEY'VE ALSO BEEN DEPLOYING SOMETHING THAT THEY'RE NOT ALWAYS KNOWN FOR A SENSE OF HUMOR.

FIRST, GREECE GAS HOUSING, HEALTH CARE TAXES, ABORTION.

TRUST DONALD TRUMP AND JD FANS TO LOOK OUT FOR YOUR FAMILY.

I WOULD LET THOSE GUYS I WOULDN'T TRUST THEM TO MOVE MY COUCH.

BRANDIS.

IT'S BEEN A LONG WEEK AND PEOPLE ARE TIRED.

IT'S ME.

I AM PEOPLE.

BUT THERE IS A LOT OF ENTHUSIASM.

THIS WAS A PACKED HOUSE AND THE UNITED CENTER TONIGHT.

SO PACKED EVENTUALLY STOPPED LETTING PEOPLE IN.

CLEARLY GROUP OF PEOPLE IS READY TO GO FORTH.

AND AS HARRIS AND HER SURROGATES HAVE BEEN SAYING
