  1. “That there's everyone's watching everything, so you're almost I'm sitting there, I'm up there, it's like, wow, there's my wife sitting behind the president at the State of the Union. At each state of the Union, there's been something where I've like waved and blow a kiss. And it's always on camera. So those moments are, but that's us. I mean, you're still trying to be a normal couple amongst all this stuff. Bill Clinton I've developed a pretty good relationship with him. He's really been there for me and for Kamala as someone who's been through all this, someone who is just so smart and still follows everything so well. And we did an event after the convention, right after, and he introduced me at an event. I'm thinking, I just spoke with the Obamas and now Bill Clinton.”

  2. “Well, I'll take your question in parts. I think the first part, yes, I love my wife very much. And hardball question to say, but this is part of the...”

  3. “How I feel. And in terms of the politics of that, I mean, I'm not going to address it. I mean, that's not for me to do. I know she's working on this night and day, as is the president. I know there has to be a deal. There needs to be consequence for Hamas, and there needs to be, and the leaders, and you've seen that. There needs to be peace. And that's what they're working towards. That's what the administration is doing.”

  4. “With five other people, execution style in cold blood when they were almost about to be rescued, just unbearable. But on that phone call, again, we had met them. I saw them at the convention. Kama had met them several times. And then to just their strength, their grace, their compassion, and their empathy towards us. The fact that they were concerned about how we were doing when we couldn't even find the words to talk to them about how sorry we were. So, I mean, I'm just so on the human element, that's what last night was about. It was a vigil for those victims. It was families of survivors, families of those killed there. And it was a way for the community to just come together. And I'm a part of the community. So I really approached that as a Jew, as a Congregant as a mourner, someone to pray with them, and to just really express.”

  5. “Beautiful job. And they were just the strength. And what I talked about last night about them was in that speech, you know, they were almost just reminding the vast majority of people what had happened on October 7th that Hamas was responsible, that women and babies and grandmas and young people at a music festival were murdered, tortured, raped. There's people who don't know that and actually there's people even worse that don't believe it. So the fact that even though their son at that time had been in captivity for many, many months, they used that time to educate the public and to educate about the plight of not only their son, but of others. And to talk to them over the weekend when they're Son had been executed. Just”

  6. “Well, let me start with the first part about what it was like to be there last night at Addison, DC. And remember, the parents, John Rachel spoke at the DNC. Think just two weeks ago.”

  7. “It was amazing. He introduced me. And so I'm a little shaky because I had all this plan that Mike Tyson, you always have a plan until you get hit in the face. So I almost felt like Okay, you better regroup, take a breath, and if you see that tape of it, I just. And then reset, and then I just went for it.”

  8. “And you see the doug signs, and it's like the noise and the intensity. I'm looking up, my parents are up there, and my son had directed the video.”

  9. “Each and every day as vice president, Ovaloff's situation room doing all the stuff that we see. And then she just stepped up because we talk about how surreal it was that I wasn't there, but was also she just stepped up when we needed somebody to step up. This country needed a leader to step into the void, step into the breach, and she did that. And so to say that to the whole world on that stage, that was what I wanted to cross. I don't get nervous really. I mean, I was a child lawyer here in Hollywood, so you can't, no one wants to hire a shaky lawyer. So you always learn to be really calm in highly stressful situations. You got to be prepared. So a lot of the skills. That I already brought to the table as a lawyer here really help, but nothing prepares you for that. Nothing. And so you walk out there.”

  10. “Me at a rough time in my life who was able to come in and be mamala to the kids and be now really great friends with my ex-wife and integrate with her family. And so I just wanted everyone to see what we get to see each and every day. But I also wanted to talk about her as a badass. She's the joyful warrior so that kind of part about her was the joyful part. Let's end with the badass warrior the person I also see the person that I was fearful of when she was Attorney General and I was representing business clients and then I'm like, oh, I wonder what she's going to be like on a date. She was great. And so to show that side, the woman who grilled those folks in the judiciary committee, the woman who's on the world stage, the woman that we see. Because we're in the office of vice president. So we also get to see her at work.”

  11. “I knew I needed to be able to talk about her and a little bit about myself too, because even though a second gentleman, married to the vice president, I'm out there a lot, it's not like people know me, but it's not the same. And so the part of it was... Who am I? Just a little intro on myself. And who is she? The Kamala Harris that I know that I wanted everyone else to know, that those of us and her family know. And then when you see the caricatures of her and the parody and you know her a little bit, that's just not her. And so for all of us, it's just been this, it's just not be amusement. It's just like, that's just, it's not you. And so I think part of what I wanted to do is just show the world.”

  12. “We're not sure when. And I just assumed I'd be introducing her foolishly on Thursday. And then they said we're moving around. Then I found out pretty close on that you're going Tuesday and you're going prime time. And I said, oh, okay, who am I speaking with? The Obamas. You mean Barack and Michelle Obama? Yeah. You're going to go and then that's like our prime time package and the Obamas. I said, okay, I need to work on this speech.”

  13. “Right away. Yeah, and that speech, because when we were still on the VP side, you know, second gentleman, I think I was going to speak, but I'm sure it would have been somewhere, maybe. Couple minutes earlier. And so then when she got on the top of the ticket, they said, okay, you're going to have a bigger speech”

  14. “So apparently it's a thing. I guess some reporters have shown up there to try out the class and they're like, ooh, this was the soul cycle class he was in. But I've been. My normal routine when I'm here.”

  15. “By the time I talked to her, she had already been on the phone with the president and had already been working the phones to nail down the nomination”

  16. “In the middle of all this, and the convention in the middle of all this, including the speech, and that feels like a dissimilant memory because two weeks later, I've literally been crisscrossing the country still. So that's how it's been. Very little time to reflect. And there's not a lot of like happy couple chit-chat with us. It's not like, hey, this is pretty amazing. She's like, get back to work. He's like, you can't even say anything to her because she's so focused that it's just. Yeah, I'm not going to pay attention to that. Just get back out on the road.”

  17. “And it was a very short conversation. And then it really has been getting shut out of a cannon because the next day I was in Wilmington addressing the now Harris campaign. And it was so surreal too because the president called in. So just as I was about to go up on stage and I had barely seen her and had been 72 hours since I had seen her since this all happened. And I just about to walk out there and then you hear Joe's voice and we all, it just hit so hard. And then I went out and introduced her, and then it's just been nonstop. It has literally been nonstop. I barely seen her. I've been back and forth across the country several times. I've been to Paris for the Olympics.”

  18. “In the car And then to go from the phone, like I've said, it's like literally Steam is coming out of it. And it's some variation of Call Calcom, La Call Kamla. And it wasn't just her calling. It was every family member, including my kids and my parents. It's like, where are you? And then I finally talked to her and she said, where the F were you? I need you.”

  19. “And so he said, Read above that. And then you see this whole crew. I said, let's go. We got to go. And we're running. And if you know that soul cycle, it's not like the car's two feet away. It's several hundred yards. So I'm running, running.”

  20. “It's so interesting to be right back in LA in Hollywood. I was at West. The West Hollywood soul cycle. The 9 30 sole survivor class. So I did 60 minutes at my advanced age. And I was with my friend. So we walked out. And people were coming by and saying hi. I was like, you know, we're going to be fine. Don't worry. Everything's good. And I've known them a long time. And then, I don't know, 20, 30 minutes in, my friend's partner just shows me the phone. And at first, I thought it was fake, then I don't believe it. Then being a good lawyer, I always read the last line first. And that, if you recall, was something like I will address the nation later this week thinking, oh, he's coming back from COVID.”
