00:00Savannah, of course, in Chicago. Hey, S.G.
00:04Hi, everybody. I'm on the move again.
00:07I come over to what is called the podium position here at the Democratic National Convention
00:11to give you a sense of where I am.
00:13Actually, we'll take the wide shot. I'm going to wave to you again.
00:16I'm on the right side of the stage, OK?
00:18So this is right off of where the speakers come in.
00:21And actually, if you come over here, you can see the door right there that the speakers walk through.
00:26So that's where Kamala Harris will walk out tonight to give that speech, the acceptance speech,
00:32which is the big moment tonight.
00:33And actually, if you go a little bit farther behind, you can see the real backstage.
00:37I mean, this is where speakers line up ready for their moments.
00:40And, of course, last night there was reportedly a bit of a log jam back there when Bill Clinton,
00:45who was supposed to speak for, I think, 15 minutes, ended up with double the length, went off script.
00:50I think the teleprompter guy had to go out and go out for a drink as Bill Clinton ripped for
00:57a long, long time.
00:58And so you had kind of a log jam of speakers right there.
01:00If you are a reporter, there's a podium pass.
01:04You could actually there's a very few spaces here, but you can report from up here.
01:08And then right over here are where a lot of the DNC leadership.
01:11And I mean, you've got the clockkeeper, the doorkeeper, the DNC leadership is right there.
01:15So this is who's making the trains run on time.
01:18And Hoda, you'll like this because I know you're a snacker like me.
01:21They got a whole snack tray there.
01:23They're apparently running on Chips Ahoy and Doritos, which, you know, that they're speaking my language.
01:28And then one final thing.
01:30Yes, exactly.
01:31Breakfast of Champions.
01:32And then if you can look up here, this these are can you see the balloons up there?
01:37This is their night.
01:39OK, after Kamala Harris accepts that nomination tonight, all of those balloons.
01:45We'll descend right here on the convention floor and the Democratic National Convention will be at an end.
01:52So a lot to go tonight.
01:54But that's a scene from this side of the stage here in Chicago.
01:58That's beautiful behind the scenes.
02:00I like it.
02:00I like it.
02:00It's cool.
02:01Thanks, S.J.
02:01Thank you, Savannah.
02:02Do you want me to pick you up anything?
02:04I see trail mix, Lays, the Chips Ahoy, Doritos.
02:07Skip both, please.
02:08Food groups, important food groups.
02:09Thank you, Savannah.
02:10I appreciated that perspective.
02:11That was cool.
02:12All right.
