| Jerry Brown: Donald Trump is a lying 'fraud' | |
| Now here’s Jerry Brown, the California governor. | |
| What is it that the California delegation is chanting? We can’t quite make it out. Is that Jerry! Jerry! (?) | |
| “That sounds good,” he says. “But I only got five minutes. I got to get going here.” | |
| His remarks focus on climate change. He describes a “world imperative to take action.” | |
| “But you wouldn’t know it by listening to Donald Trump,” Brown says. He notes that Trump never once mentioned climate change or global warming at the Republican convention. | |
| Some strong lines: | |
| Trump says global warming is a hoax. I say Trump is a fraud. | |
| Trumps says there’s no drought in California. I say Trump lies. | |
| So it’s not surprising that Trump chose as his running mate a man who denies evolution. | |
| He says the Republicans and Trump “have strayed into sheer ignorance and dark fantasy.” | |
| “While Trump talks and talks and talks,” Brown says, “Trump says stuff.” | |

| For all the talk of unity in the hall and streets, the fact remains that there is an ugly undercurrent – at times it surfaces – of antipathy directed at the first woman to be nominated for president by a major party. | |
| One example is right downstairs from the press risers, in a men’s restroom. | |

| Sigourney Weaver is next, but the Hollywood actress simply cannot equal the undiluted star power of Martin O’Malley. | |
| 12.32am BST | |
| 00:32 | |
| O'Malley kills | |
| O’Malley: | |
| Unlike that immigrant-bashing, carnival barker, Donald Trump... Hillary Clinton understands the enduring symbol of the United States of America is not the barbed wire fence... it is the Statue of Liberty! | |
| And then O’Malley gets the biggest applause of the night so far, with a line about Trump being a bully: | |
| It’s time to put a bully in his place, and a tough woman in hers (pause) -- The White House! | |
| Hillary Clinton, Tim Kaine -- | |
| Forward together -- Stronger Together! | |
| The crowd roars and everybody waves whatever’s in their hands, in many cases Clinton signs. O’Malley positively gleams. Then he does a jig as he walks offstage! Make ’em laugh, knock ’em dead and dance ’em home. Who is this guy? | |
| 12.28am BST | |
| 00:28 | |
| More yuks from O’Malley: | |
| He says, and I quote: “The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese.” | |
| I’ll tell you what: if the Chinese were really capable of designing some kind of diabolical farce to hurt America, they wouldn’t invent global warming … they’d invent Donald Trump! | |
| 12.27am BST | |
| 00:27 | |
| O’Malley: | |
| I say to hell with Trump’s American nightmare. We believe in the American Dream! | |
| Then he scores a total cheer from the crowd with a joke about Trump, whom he quotes as having said that wages are too high: | |
| Wages are too high??? | |
| I’ll tell you what’s too high:... College tuition is too high. | |
| The cost of child care is too high. | |
| The number of American children who live in poverty is too high. | |
| Donald Trump’s opinion of himself... that’s way too high!! | |
| They love the line. | |
| 12.25am BST | |
| 00:25 | |
| Now here’s O’Malley. A nice warm welcome for him. He introduces himself “as a man who knows Hillary Clinton well.” | |
| “I’ve worked alongside her,” he says. “And I’ve competed against her.” | |
| Let’s be honest. Sort of competed. Filled out the debate stage threesome, at least. | |

| Next to speak is Jamie Dorff, whose husband, Patrick Dorff, was an Army helicopter pilot from Minnesota who died while on a search and rescue mission in northern Iraq. | |
| Dorff is speaking to highlight Clinton’s work to highlight the gratuity paid to family members of fallen veterans from $12,000 to $100,000. | |
| She’s introduced by a video in which she talks about the pain and difficulty of losing her husband, and facing the challenge of raising her daughter. | |
| “What Hillary has done for my family, and other military families, words can’t even describe it,” Dorff says on the video. | |

| Reid is applauded appreciatively. He has to wait at the lectern for his wife to come out and walk him backstage. He’s limping a bit. He suffered debilitating injuries in January 2015 from an accident with an exercise band. | Reid is applauded appreciatively.
