0:00.0	Welcome everybody night one of the Democratic National Convention of
0:11.1	24 unconventional in many ways. Normally a first term
0:17.2	president speaks on Thursday at the convention. Why? Because normally they are running for re-election and they are accepting
0:26.5	their re-nomination on the final day of the convention. Not so this time. So sitting President Joe Biden having stepped

1:28.5	up. Other than that and the fact that it dragged and dragged due to a number of different delays.
1:34.6	It was very good in a lot of different ways.
1:37.1	One of the interesting speakers, Steve Kerr, former Chicago Bulls basketball player, Golden State Warriors head coach, recent coach of the U.S. Olympic
