1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: There are fifty days to go until the American people

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: will decide. The decision will place one of these two

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: people behind the resolute desk in the Oval Office, making

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 1: them the most powerful person on planet Earth, with all

5
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: of the requisite power to destroy all of human civilization.

6
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 1: Who will it be the adjudicated rapist and convicted felon,

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: the man who continues to slander a small Ohio town,

8
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: bringing chaos and violence and bomb threats to it, or

9
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: the Vice president of the United States of America. The

10
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: race is close. We are covering it here. Let's get started.

11
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: This is the warning. Donald Trump joined President Gerald Ford

12
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: in an unlucky club. He survived a second assassination attempt

13
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: in close proximity to the first when it happened to

14
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: President Ford in nineteen seventy five. The events took place

15
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: a few hundred miles apart over a few weeks, one

16
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: in Sacramento and one in San Francisco. The details of

17
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: this second Trump assassination are still not yet fully known. Apparently,

18
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: a Secret Service agent saw the barrel of the AK

19
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: forty seven protruding from a bush approximately three hundred yards

20
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: from where Donald Trump would be putting on the fifth

21
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: hole and fired at the rifle. Now, the simple truth

22
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: of the matter is we live in one of the

23
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: most violent societies on Earth. Ask any school child who

24
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: does the equivalent of hiding in closets what their grandparents

25
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: did when they sheltered under their desks preparing for nuclear

26
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: war in the nineteen fifties. There are three hundred million

27
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: guns in America. After a massacre had a country music concert.

28
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: Or a school, or a school, or.

29
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: A church or anywhere in America, maga, Republicans usually offer

30
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: their thoughts and prayers.

31
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: So first, let me offer mine.

32
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: Second, the fact of the matter is Donald Trump is

33
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: a man of violence. He stokes violence, he curates violence.

34
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: He thrives on the chaos and the instability which he

35
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: injects into the society. As a chaos agent, seeking to

36
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: divide out of the mayhem, his lives find a poisoned

37
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: and fertile soil. Out of the delusions, Donald Trump is

38
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: able to titillate and excite his cult followers. He's able

39
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: to make them do and say and think anything and

40
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: all of the insanity that swirls around This doesn't know

41
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: that it's partisan or not. When it reaches that deranged

42
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: and the misinformed and the ill informed. The people who

43
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 1: live alone in information silos, who are aggrieved and enraged.

44
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: Some of them in America take action. They do evil things.

45
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 1: And so the idea that Donald Trump is singularly threatened

46
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: is an absurdity. There is a grave crisis in the

47
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: United States Secret Service and it must be addressed because

48
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: what is clear from the incompetence of the security coverage

49
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: is that President Obama's life is in danger. President Clinton's

50
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: life is in danger, President Bush's life is in danger.

51
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: President Carter's life is in danger. All of the protectees

52
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: lives are in danger. Because on a sunny Sunday afternoon,

53
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: a madman was able to get out of his car

54
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: within AK forty seven in Florida, not the woods of

55
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: Idaho or Oregon, to a concealed position in a bush

56
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: on the fifth hole in point a weapon at the

57
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: Republican nominee for president and get ready to shoot him

58
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: because an agent on the ground was doing his job.

59
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is alive and the nation has been spared

60
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 1: for the second time in a month, a catastrophe that

61
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: would have torn our society apart. The last director of

62
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: the Secret Service resigned, making the new director resign won't

63
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: do anything, but maybe giving the coverage assignment to a

64
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: United States Special Operations team who did the duty in

65
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: a place like Iraq or Afghanistan would. This is an

66
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: agency that needs reforms, and the first people that will

67
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: tell you this are the veteran Secret Service agents who

68
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: kept a generation of American presidents safe. The Secret Service

69
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: has been in trouble for quite some time. Lack of

70
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: discretion and judgment by its agents on foreign trips, a

71
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: culture of laziness and laxity that has allowed repeated penetrations

72
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: of White House grounds. All of this is utterly, absolutely

73
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: unacceptable and indefensible, and it must be fixed immediately. President

74
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: Biden should be enraged this morning over this lapse, and

75
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 1: because he is president, heads should roll. There should be

76
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: no acceptance of this by anyone in the Biden administration

77
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: or anyone in the American government, because it is absolutely unacceptable. Further,

78
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,799
Speaker 1: it is unsurprising that the richest man in the world,

79
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: ironically or perhaps unironically, one of the dumbest Americans was

80
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: among the first to tweet something insanely stupid.

81
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 2: Here's what Elon Musk said.

82
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: Understand this, it is a law who are baited and

83
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: placed in the water. He knows that he's baiting, with

84
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: one of the largest social media followings in the world,

85
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: a sick person to take a shot at the first

86
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: black vice president of the United States, the first woman

87
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: vice president of the United States. He is trolling the

88
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: Internet looking for a taker who will even the score.

89
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: Does Elon Musk not understand that Tim Walls and Kamala Harris,

90
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: like Joe and Joe Biden and George and Laura Bush

91
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 1: and Bill and Hillary Clinton and Barack and Michelle Obama

92
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: live in constant danger for the rest of their lives.

93
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: What does Elon Musk not understand about this? What does

94
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: Elon Musk not understand about the security threats that the

95
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: first black woman vice president of the United States faces.

96
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: Of course, she's threatened. She could be fired on anytime,

97
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 1: any day, any place, And it's happened over and over

98
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: and over again in American history, and Elon Musk has

99
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: chosen to make light of it. What he said isn't

100
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: just stupid, though it is, and profoundly so. It's deeply reprehensible,

101
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: and in fact, he deserves a visit from the United

102
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: States Secret Service. Broken though it may be. How is

103
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: it that this mayhem and this violence and this anger

104
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: finds its way to the sickest people in America. Well

105
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: there's an answer, and it was revealed by one of

106
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: the best political journalists working in the business, CNN's superb

107
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: Dana Bash. Now, I've known Dana for a very long time,

108
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: and honest to God, I have no idea what her

109
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: politics are other than she's for fairness, she's for justice,

110
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: She's for the right place thing, the public good, the

111
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: public interest, however you wish to think about it.

112
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 2: This was another.

113
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: Weekend of chaos and violence, of near tragedy prefacing catastrophe

114
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: in America. But the most important thing that happened this

115
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: weekend in America was the character portrait and deconstruction that

116
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: took place on a television show on CNN, where despite

117
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: all of the problems with the network, there remains a

118
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: handful of deeply talented and trusted journalists, And what the

119
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: American people got to see was a clinic an interview

120
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: that defined forever the depravity of the Yale Billies fraudulents

121
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: for the American people to see.

122
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 3: The American media totally ignored this stuff until Donald Trump

123
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 3: and I start talking about cat means, if I have

124
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 3: to mean create stories so that the American media actually

125
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 3: pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then

126
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 3: that's what I'm gonna do.

127
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 2: Dan.

128
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 4: So you just said that you're creating the story.

129
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 1: Is that, Dana?

130
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 4: You just said that this is a story that you created.

131
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 4: So the eating dog.

132
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 3: Is not we are creating, we are, Dana. It comes

133
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 3: from first hand accounts from my constituents. I say that

134
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 3: we're creating a story, meaning we're creating the American media

135
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:28,719
Speaker 3: focusing on it.

136
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 4: Nobody is disputing that the town of Springfield, Ohio, needs help.

137
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 4: But you're not just a bystander. You're the senator from Ohio.

138
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 4: So instead of saying things that are wrong and actually

139
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 4: causing the hospitals, the schools, the government buildings to be

140
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 4: evacuated because of bomb threats because of the cats and

141
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 4: dogs thing, why not actually be constructive and helping to

142
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 4: better integrate them into the community. Because there are a

143
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 4: lot of employers there who say that the Haitian workers

144
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 4: are helping fill jobs that they need desperately filled.

145
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: Dan, first of.

146
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 3: All, let me just respond to a couple of things

147
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 3: that you said, But I want to start with something

148
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 3: he said, which I think is frankly disgusting and is

149
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 3: more appropriate for a Democratic propagandist than it is for

150
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 3: an American journalist. There is nothing that I have said

151
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 3: that has led to threats against these hospitals.

152
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: Jd Vance is a United States Senator from Ohio who

153
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: is slandering and endangering and Ohio town filled with Ohio men, women,

154
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: and children. What Dana Bash is saying to him is

155
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: that people who live in the town are begging the

156
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: MAGA politicians to stop before someone gets killed. They're terrified

157
00:10:55,040 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: of the bomb threats, of the insanity. Jd Vance doesn't

158
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: care about any of the people in the town, in

159
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: the state that he has the high honor to represent

160
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: in the United States Senate. What they are to him

161
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 1: are pawns, insects. They are not real to him. Instead,

162
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: they are manipulatable pieces.

163
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 2: Part of a game.

164
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: What happens to them doesn't matter so long as jd

165
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: Vance wins the game. The interview is extraordinary and deeply revealing.

166
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: He's a United States Senator. Did he call the police chief,

167
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,359
Speaker 1: the mayor? Did he go there himself or send a staffer?

168
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: To investigate the depravity, the craziness, the frankly dissillusion of

169
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: law and order of an Ohio town. He did none

170
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: of those things. Instead, what he sought to do is

171
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,479
Speaker 1: inflame the situation.

172
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 2: And no matter how much JD.

173
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: Vance tries to lie about the matter, the question that

174
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: Dana Bash abbs is precise and accurate and fair. It

175
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: is the mayor of the town who is begging people

176
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: like JD.

177
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 2: Vans to stop.

178
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: It's the mayor of the town who's begging Donald Trump

179
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: to stop. Because the mayor of the town realizes and

180
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: appreciates we have a sickness in our society that leads

181
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: people like the man who is in the bush in Florida,

182
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: ready to take a shot at Trump. The sickness that

183
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: Trump is inciting can lands back on him. No one

184
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: in Maga seems smart enough to appreciate that. But it's trick.

185
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: Trump's a cancer, His violence is a cancer. He's safe,

186
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: but in spite of the Secret Service, not because of it.

187
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: All of our leaders are in danger at a time

188
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: of swirling chaos.

189
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 2: That much is clear. And we have some of the worst.

190
00:12:56,040 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: People in America with the biggest platforms and biggest microphone.

191
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: And there's only one force that has the power to

192
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: do anything about it, and it's a mighty force, the

193
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: American people. Fifty days, we decide who the forty seventh

194
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: President of the United States is. If we choose an

195
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: insane person, if we choose a liar and a criminal,

196
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: the people who will pay the price for that are us.

197
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: It's an important choice and it will be felt by

198
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: every single one of us. So when people say we

199
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: don't share anything in common, ignore them, because we share

200
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: that in common. And the Vice President couldn't be more correct.

201
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: Broadly speaking, the great majority of us share much more

202
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: in common than we do in disagreement. But with regard

203
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: to the people, the vast majority of us are in

204
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: disagreement with the people who think violence is okay, the

205
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: people who think this madness is okay. It's time for

206
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 1: them to hear from all of us. It's time for

207
00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: us to take the time to disrupt our lives, to

208
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: send a message to all of them that enough is enough,

209
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 1: is enough is enough.

00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,680
