Al Gore, thank you for being here. Thank you. Now, what can the American people, they want to know the details of what is happening at the Democratic National Convention. Can you fill us in? The Democratic National Convention, which was held in Chicago this year, is currently debating over who will be the presidential candidate for the Democratic Party. And who are you endorsing for president? My Democratic nomination for the presidency is candidate McCarthy. And then what about the protests that have taken place recently? The protests recently have only reinforced the fact, which I stated at my first address of this convention, which is the fact that if the conflicts of infrastructure, civil rights, and if the war on poverty, infrastructure, and civil rights is met accordingly, law and order will follow. In the city of Chicago, this has been made apparent by the protesters, which have violently rioted against this convention. And what would you say to other protesters who have remained peaceful over this time period? That's a good question. Say it how you think. The protesters have certainly made their voices heard. Thank you for this interview. You're welcome. Thank you, Stud. Thank you.
