WEBVTT - Violence in Trump's America Will Never Stop

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.560
<v Speaker 1>There are fifty days to go until the American people

0:00:03.880 --> 0:00:07.760
<v Speaker 1>will decide. The decision will place one of these two

0:00:07.840 --> 0:00:12.119
<v Speaker 1>people behind the resolute desk in the Oval Office, making

0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:16.600
<v Speaker 1>them the most powerful person on planet Earth, with all

0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:21.919
<v Speaker 1>of the requisite power to destroy all of human civilization.

0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:26.639
<v Speaker 1>Who will it be the adjudicated rapist and convicted felon,

0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:31.600
<v Speaker 1>the man who continues to slander a small Ohio town,

0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:36.159
<v Speaker 1>bringing chaos and violence and bomb threats to it, or

0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:39.800
<v Speaker 1>the Vice president of the United States of America. The

0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:43.879
<v Speaker 1>race is close. We are covering it here. Let's get started.

0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:50.000
<v Speaker 1>This is the warning. Donald Trump joined President Gerald Ford

0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:55.160
<v Speaker 1>in an unlucky club. He survived a second assassination attempt

0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:59.040
<v Speaker 1>in close proximity to the first when it happened to

0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:03.160
<v Speaker 1>President Ford in nineteen seventy five. The events took place

0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:07.080
<v Speaker 1>a few hundred miles apart over a few weeks, one

0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:11.360
<v Speaker 1>in Sacramento and one in San Francisco. The details of

0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:16.360
<v Speaker 1>this second Trump assassination are still not yet fully known. Apparently,

0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:19.880
<v Speaker 1>a Secret Service agent saw the barrel of the AK

0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 1>forty seven protruding from a bush approximately three hundred yards

0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:27.440
<v Speaker 1>from where Donald Trump would be putting on the fifth

0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:31.600
<v Speaker 1>hole and fired at the rifle. Now, the simple truth

0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:34.400
<v Speaker 1>of the matter is we live in one of the

0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:39.040
<v Speaker 1>most violent societies on Earth. Ask any school child who

0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 1>does the equivalent of hiding in closets what their grandparents

0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:47.280
<v Speaker 1>did when they sheltered under their desks preparing for nuclear

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:51.840
<v Speaker 1>war in the nineteen fifties. There are three hundred million

0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:57.040
<v Speaker 1>guns in America. After a massacre had a country music concert.

0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:59.640
<v Speaker 2>Or a school, or a school, or.

0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:05.240
<v Speaker 1>A church or anywhere in America, maga, Republicans usually offer

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:06.560
<v Speaker 1>their thoughts and prayers.

0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:08.760
<v Speaker 2>So first, let me offer mine.

0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Second, the fact of the matter is Donald Trump is

0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:19.720
<v Speaker 1>a man of violence. He stokes violence, he curates violence.

0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:24.840
<v Speaker 1>He thrives on the chaos and the instability which he

0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:29.800
<v Speaker 1>injects into the society. As a chaos agent, seeking to

0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:35.560
<v Speaker 1>divide out of the mayhem, his lives find a poisoned

0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:41.200
<v Speaker 1>and fertile soil. Out of the delusions, Donald Trump is

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 1>able to titillate and excite his cult followers. He's able

0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:50.120
<v Speaker 1>to make them do and say and think anything and

0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 1>all of the insanity that swirls around This doesn't know

0:02:56.400 --> 0:03:01.079
<v Speaker 1>that it's partisan or not. When it reaches that deranged

0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:05.320
<v Speaker 1>and the misinformed and the ill informed. The people who

0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:10.679
<v Speaker 1>live alone in information silos, who are aggrieved and enraged.

0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:16.280
<v Speaker 1>Some of them in America take action. They do evil things.

0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:22.359
<v Speaker 1>And so the idea that Donald Trump is singularly threatened

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:26.400
<v Speaker 1>is an absurdity. There is a grave crisis in the

0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:30.520
<v Speaker 1>United States Secret Service and it must be addressed because

0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:34.639
<v Speaker 1>what is clear from the incompetence of the security coverage

0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:38.400
<v Speaker 1>is that President Obama's life is in danger. President Clinton's

0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:41.640
<v Speaker 1>life is in danger, President Bush's life is in danger.

0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:45.840
<v Speaker 1>President Carter's life is in danger. All of the protectees

0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:50.400
<v Speaker 1>lives are in danger. Because on a sunny Sunday afternoon,

0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:53.640
<v Speaker 1>a madman was able to get out of his car

0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:58.000
<v Speaker 1>within AK forty seven in Florida, not the woods of

0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Idaho or Oregon, to a concealed position in a bush

0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:06.000
<v Speaker 1>on the fifth hole in point a weapon at the

0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Republican nominee for president and get ready to shoot him

0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:14.080
<v Speaker 1>because an agent on the ground was doing his job.

0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump is alive and the nation has been spared

0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:23.359
<v Speaker 1>for the second time in a month, a catastrophe that

0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:28.039
<v Speaker 1>would have torn our society apart. The last director of

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:32.719
<v Speaker 1>the Secret Service resigned, making the new director resign won't

0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:36.279
<v Speaker 1>do anything, but maybe giving the coverage assignment to a

0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:40.159
<v Speaker 1>United States Special Operations team who did the duty in

0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:43.800
<v Speaker 1>a place like Iraq or Afghanistan would. This is an

0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:48.080
<v Speaker 1>agency that needs reforms, and the first people that will

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:51.800
<v Speaker 1>tell you this are the veteran Secret Service agents who

0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:57.080
<v Speaker 1>kept a generation of American presidents safe. The Secret Service

0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:00.520
<v Speaker 1>has been in trouble for quite some time. Lack of

0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:04.720
<v Speaker 1>discretion and judgment by its agents on foreign trips, a

0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:09.880
<v Speaker 1>culture of laziness and laxity that has allowed repeated penetrations

0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:14.520
<v Speaker 1>of White House grounds. All of this is utterly, absolutely

0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:21.000
<v Speaker 1>unacceptable and indefensible, and it must be fixed immediately. President

0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:25.039
<v Speaker 1>Biden should be enraged this morning over this lapse, and

0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:29.040
<v Speaker 1>because he is president, heads should roll. There should be

0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:33.960
<v Speaker 1>no acceptance of this by anyone in the Biden administration

0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:41.440
<v Speaker 1>or anyone in the American government, because it is absolutely unacceptable. Further,

0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:45.799
<v Speaker 1>it is unsurprising that the richest man in the world,

0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:51.160
<v Speaker 1>ironically or perhaps unironically, one of the dumbest Americans was

0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:54.800
<v Speaker 1>among the first to tweet something insanely stupid.

0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:57.040
<v Speaker 2>Here's what Elon Musk said.

0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Understand this, it is a law who are baited and

0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:05.279
<v Speaker 1>placed in the water. He knows that he's baiting, with

0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:09.560
<v Speaker 1>one of the largest social media followings in the world,

0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:13.520
<v Speaker 1>a sick person to take a shot at the first

0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:17.240
<v Speaker 1>black vice president of the United States, the first woman

0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:21.600
<v Speaker 1>vice president of the United States. He is trolling the

0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:25.760
<v Speaker 1>Internet looking for a taker who will even the score.

0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:32.159
<v Speaker 1>Does Elon Musk not understand that Tim Walls and Kamala Harris,

0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:35.240
<v Speaker 1>like Joe and Joe Biden and George and Laura Bush

0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:38.720
<v Speaker 1>and Bill and Hillary Clinton and Barack and Michelle Obama

0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:43.320
<v Speaker 1>live in constant danger for the rest of their lives.

0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:47.880
<v Speaker 1>What does Elon Musk not understand about this? What does

0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:53.320
<v Speaker 1>Elon Musk not understand about the security threats that the

0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:57.000
<v Speaker 1>first black woman vice president of the United States faces.

0:06:57.400 --> 0:07:01.320
<v Speaker 1>Of course, she's threatened. She could be fired on anytime,

0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:05.479
<v Speaker 1>any day, any place, And it's happened over and over

0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 1>and over again in American history, and Elon Musk has

0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:13.320
<v Speaker 1>chosen to make light of it. What he said isn't

0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:19.280
<v Speaker 1>just stupid, though it is, and profoundly so. It's deeply reprehensible,

0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:22.680
<v Speaker 1>and in fact, he deserves a visit from the United

0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:27.040
<v Speaker 1>States Secret Service. Broken though it may be. How is

0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:31.040
<v Speaker 1>it that this mayhem and this violence and this anger

0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:35.120
<v Speaker 1>finds its way to the sickest people in America. Well

0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:38.600
<v Speaker 1>there's an answer, and it was revealed by one of

0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:45.080
<v Speaker 1>the best political journalists working in the business, CNN's superb

0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Dana Bash. Now, I've known Dana for a very long time,

0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:52.880
<v Speaker 1>and honest to God, I have no idea what her

0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 1>politics are other than she's for fairness, she's for justice,

0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:01.720
<v Speaker 1>She's for the right place thing, the public good, the

0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:05.240
<v Speaker 1>public interest, however you wish to think about it.

0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:06.640
<v Speaker 2>This was another.

0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:11.880
<v Speaker 1>Weekend of chaos and violence, of near tragedy prefacing catastrophe

0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:15.200
<v Speaker 1>in America. But the most important thing that happened this

0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:22.320
<v Speaker 1>weekend in America was the character portrait and deconstruction that

0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:27.760
<v Speaker 1>took place on a television show on CNN, where despite

0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:32.520
<v Speaker 1>all of the problems with the network, there remains a

0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:38.080
<v Speaker 1>handful of deeply talented and trusted journalists, And what the

0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:41.880
<v Speaker 1>American people got to see was a clinic an interview

0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:49.400
<v Speaker 1>that defined forever the depravity of the Yale Billies fraudulents

0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:51.960
<v Speaker 1>for the American people to see.

0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:55.760
<v Speaker 3>The American media totally ignored this stuff until Donald Trump

0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:58.439
<v Speaker 3>and I start talking about cat means, if I have

0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:03.520
<v Speaker 3>to mean create stories so that the American media actually

0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:06.640
<v Speaker 3>pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then

0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:07.679
<v Speaker 3>that's what I'm gonna do.

0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:07.920
<v Speaker 2>Dan.

0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:09.959
<v Speaker 4>So you just said that you're creating the story.

0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:11.079
<v Speaker 1>Is that, Dana?

0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:14.560
<v Speaker 4>You just said that this is a story that you created.

0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:17.000
<v Speaker 4>So the eating dog.

0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:22.040
<v Speaker 3>Is not we are creating, we are, Dana. It comes

0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:24.960
<v Speaker 3>from first hand accounts from my constituents. I say that

0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:27.880
<v Speaker 3>we're creating a story, meaning we're creating the American media

0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:28.719
<v Speaker 3>focusing on it.

0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:35.320
<v Speaker 4>Nobody is disputing that the town of Springfield, Ohio, needs help.

0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:40.520
<v Speaker 4>But you're not just a bystander. You're the senator from Ohio.

0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:44.240
<v Speaker 4>So instead of saying things that are wrong and actually

0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:47.520
<v Speaker 4>causing the hospitals, the schools, the government buildings to be

0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:50.800
<v Speaker 4>evacuated because of bomb threats because of the cats and

0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:56.240
<v Speaker 4>dogs thing, why not actually be constructive and helping to

0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:59.040
<v Speaker 4>better integrate them into the community. Because there are a

0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:02.360
<v Speaker 4>lot of employers there who say that the Haitian workers

0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.960
<v Speaker 4>are helping fill jobs that they need desperately filled.

0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:09.280
<v Speaker 1>Dan, first of.

0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:11.280
<v Speaker 3>All, let me just respond to a couple of things

0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:12.959
<v Speaker 3>that you said, But I want to start with something

0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:15.520
<v Speaker 3>he said, which I think is frankly disgusting and is

0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:18.680
<v Speaker 3>more appropriate for a Democratic propagandist than it is for

0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:21.800
<v Speaker 3>an American journalist. There is nothing that I have said

0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:25.080
<v Speaker 3>that has led to threats against these hospitals.

0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Jd Vance is a United States Senator from Ohio who

0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:39.520
<v Speaker 1>is slandering and endangering and Ohio town filled with Ohio men, women,

0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:44.240
<v Speaker 1>and children. What Dana Bash is saying to him is

0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:48.640
<v Speaker 1>that people who live in the town are begging the

0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:54.760
<v Speaker 1>MAGA politicians to stop before someone gets killed. They're terrified

0:10:55.040 --> 0:11:00.400
<v Speaker 1>of the bomb threats, of the insanity. Jd Vance doesn't

0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:04.680
<v Speaker 1>care about any of the people in the town, in

0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:08.280
<v Speaker 1>the state that he has the high honor to represent

0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:11.400
<v Speaker 1>in the United States Senate. What they are to him

0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:16.679
<v Speaker 1>are pawns, insects. They are not real to him. Instead,

0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:20.640
<v Speaker 1>they are manipulatable pieces.

0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:21.199
<v Speaker 2>Part of a game.

0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:24.800
<v Speaker 1>What happens to them doesn't matter so long as jd

0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:31.640
<v Speaker 1>Vance wins the game. The interview is extraordinary and deeply revealing.

0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:35.120
<v Speaker 1>He's a United States Senator. Did he call the police chief,

0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:39.359
<v Speaker 1>the mayor? Did he go there himself or send a staffer?

0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:45.360
<v Speaker 1>To investigate the depravity, the craziness, the frankly dissillusion of

0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:49.040
<v Speaker 1>law and order of an Ohio town. He did none

0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:52.920
<v Speaker 1>of those things. Instead, what he sought to do is

0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:54.479
<v Speaker 1>inflame the situation.

0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.120
<v Speaker 2>And no matter how much JD.

0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Vance tries to lie about the matter, the question that

0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Dana Bash abbs is precise and accurate and fair. It

0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:10.640
<v Speaker 1>is the mayor of the town who is begging people

0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:11.240
<v Speaker 1>like JD.

0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:12.520
<v Speaker 2>Vans to stop.

0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:16.400
<v Speaker 1>It's the mayor of the town who's begging Donald Trump

0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:21.160
<v Speaker 1>to stop. Because the mayor of the town realizes and

0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:25.600
<v Speaker 1>appreciates we have a sickness in our society that leads

0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:29.520
<v Speaker 1>people like the man who is in the bush in Florida,

0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:33.640
<v Speaker 1>ready to take a shot at Trump. The sickness that

0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:37.480
<v Speaker 1>Trump is inciting can lands back on him. No one

0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:41.880
<v Speaker 1>in Maga seems smart enough to appreciate that. But it's trick.

0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:45.800
<v Speaker 1>Trump's a cancer, His violence is a cancer. He's safe,

0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.760
<v Speaker 1>but in spite of the Secret Service, not because of it.

0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:51.560
<v Speaker 1>All of our leaders are in danger at a time

0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:52.800
<v Speaker 1>of swirling chaos.

0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:56.400
<v Speaker 2>That much is clear. And we have some of the worst.

0:12:56.040 --> 0:13:00.240
<v Speaker 1>People in America with the biggest platforms and biggest microphone.

0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:02.840
<v Speaker 1>And there's only one force that has the power to

0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:06.080
<v Speaker 1>do anything about it, and it's a mighty force, the

0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:10.360
<v Speaker 1>American people. Fifty days, we decide who the forty seventh

0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:13.160
<v Speaker 1>President of the United States is. If we choose an

0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:16.440
<v Speaker 1>insane person, if we choose a liar and a criminal,

0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:19.560
<v Speaker 1>the people who will pay the price for that are us.

0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:23.080
<v Speaker 1>It's an important choice and it will be felt by

0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:27.000
<v Speaker 1>every single one of us. So when people say we

0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:30.880
<v Speaker 1>don't share anything in common, ignore them, because we share

0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:34.520
<v Speaker 1>that in common. And the Vice President couldn't be more correct.

0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Broadly speaking, the great majority of us share much more

0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:42.600
<v Speaker 1>in common than we do in disagreement. But with regard

0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:45.720
<v Speaker 1>to the people, the vast majority of us are in

0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:49.560
<v Speaker 1>disagreement with the people who think violence is okay, the

0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:52.920
<v Speaker 1>people who think this madness is okay. It's time for

0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:56.199
<v Speaker 1>them to hear from all of us. It's time for

0:13:56.440 --> 0:14:00.280
<v Speaker 1>us to take the time to disrupt our lives, to

0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:04.480
<v Speaker 1>send a message to all of them that enough is enough,

0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:06.559
<v Speaker 1>is enough is enough.

0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:11.680
