Americans are a proud people, 50 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 10: but we're watching as our insides are being eaten down 51 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 10: by the cast offs, the criminals, the pedophiles and murderers, 52 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 10: the sex traffickers from abroad and from the Democrats from within. 53 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 10: Americans are ready to have a great nation again. There 54 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 10: is so much pent up frustration. Many people have given 55 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 10: up hope, but they don't want to They want to 56 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 10: believe again. I liken it to being a sports fan 57 00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 10: and you've had a cellar dweller. 58 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 2: For ye and years and years. 59 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 10: You look at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers when they got 60 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 10: Tom Brady when it was thought he would retire, and 61 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 10: he came down and it was kind of a sweep 62 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 10: States sweepstakes for Brady. I thought he ended up in 63 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 10: Oakland or Las Vegas with the Raiders, but no, he 64 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 10: went to Tampa Bay and they had a hope, maybe 65 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 10: we can have a winner again. They'd had a winner 66 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 10: relatively recently, and Trent Dilferd was the quarterback of that team. 67 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 2: Imagine that. 68 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 10: But there was excitement in the land. And that's what 69 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 10: Trump is bringing, and he's bringing bright minds. Elon Musk 70 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 10: is a conqueror. He's a creator, he's a doer. Vek 71 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 10: Ramaswami financially very successful, a bright, bright guy, a cut 72 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 10: above the Democrats. One of the best speeches. I think 73 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 10: Tucker Crosson's was the best speech of yesterday, and we'll 74 00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 10: play that in the next segment. One of the best 75 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 10: speach at the Medicine Square Garden rally was vivet Ramaswami, 76 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 10: and he's talking about America First includes all Americans. This 77 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 10: is an inclusive, exciting message. 78 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 11: The media in the back, they won't talk about this, 79 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 11: but they know it to be true. Donald Trump is 80 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 11: actually the president who will unite this country. 81 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 7: Actually, and we don't talk about that enough. 82 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 11: America First includes all Americans, regardless of their race, their gender, 83 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 11: or their sexual orientation. Our message to Black Americans tonight 84 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 11: is this, we want you what. 85 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 7: We want for every American. 86 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 11: Safe neighborhoods, good jobs, clean streets, a country where you 87 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 11: are judged based on the content of your character, not 88 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 11: the color of your skin or your political beliefs. 89 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 7: That's the America we know. 90 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 11: Our message to gay Americans tonight is this. 91 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 7: You're free to marry who you want. 92 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 11: If you want, without the government standing in your way. 93 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 7: But that doesn't mean that boys get to compete with. 94 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 11: Girls and girls sports, or you do genital mutilation and 95 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 11: chemical castration on our children. Our message to every legal 96 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 11: immigrant in this country is this, you're like my parents. 97 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 11: But our message to every illegal immigrant, if you came legally, 98 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 11: you get the same American dream that everybody else does. 99 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 11: Work hard, get ahead, make contributions to this country, love 100 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 11: the nation, and that's our message to legal immigrants. But 101 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 11: our message to every illegal immigrant is also this. We 102 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 11: will return you to your country of origin, not because 103 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 11: you're all bad people, but because you broke the law, and. 104 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 7: The United States of America is founded on. 105 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 2: The rule of law. 106 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,799 Speaker 7: Our message to my generation, the millennials. 107 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 11: Is this, you are sold to false billa goods. You 108 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 11: were told you become a gender studies major in California. 109 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 11: Somehow that gets you a head starting the American dream 110 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 11: when it hasn't worked out that way, dead on your shoulders. 111 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 11: The Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Yes, it's true you were 112 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 11: lied to, but we can't just be cynical about our 113 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 11: country because this is still the last best hope that 114 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 11: we have in the free world. 115 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 7: And our message to gen. 116 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 11: Z is this You're going to be the generation that 117 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 11: saves the country.

We 122 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 11: don't have to be this nation in decline. 123 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 7: We are still on our way up. 124 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 11: We're still that country where we will look our children 125 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 11: in the eye and meet it when we tell them 126 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 11: you get ahead in the United States with your own 127 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 11: hard work, own commitment, your own dedication, and that you 128 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 11: know what you are free to speak your mind at 129 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 11: every step. 130 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 7: Of the way. That is the American dream. That is 131 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 7: what we are running too. 132 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 11: And that is what we get when we send Donald 133 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 11: Trump back to the White House. This November, True Texas 134 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 11: Original Book, True National Treasure, No messing around with. 135 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:28,559 Speaker 2: This is the Michael Arry Show. So the Medicine Square 136 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 2: Garden Gathering. 137 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 10: They was an all star team, the folks with positive messages, 138 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,719 Speaker 10: personal accomplishment and the hopes and dreams of a lot 139 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 10: of Americans being voiced. 140 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 2: Through their words and experiences and. 141 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 10: Backgrounds and accomplishments. For my money, Perhaps the best speech 142 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 10: itself was from a guy who speaks like a writer, 143 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 10: Tucker Carlson. He started life as a writer, That's why 144 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 10: he structures his arguments like a writer. But I thought 145 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,199 Speaker 10: he made the best case for Trump of anybody out 146 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 10: there with this beat. This is a little longer than 147 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 10: I would normally play of an audio clip, but I 148 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 10: thought it was so good, and we whittled it down 149 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 10: as short as we could get it to still get 150 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 10: to the points we like. So anyway, this was Tucker 151 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 10: Crosson at Madison Square Garden yesterday. 152 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 12: Donald Trump's gonna win. He's gonna win. I know that 153 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 12: that's true. 154 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 2: Why is Donald Trump gonna win? 155 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 12: The people he's about to defeat have no idea, and 156 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 12: they're panicked. They have no idea why people like Donald Trump. 157 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 12: And their first theory was, well, Donald Trump is evil, 158 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 12: so half the country is evil also, and that's one 159 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 12: of the reasons they spent the last. 160 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 2: Four years trying to destroy the country because. 161 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 12: They're mad at its voters for liking Donald Trump. How 162 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 12: much easier would it have been just to pause for 163 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 12: twenty minutes and ask yourself, honestly, in some silent place. 164 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,719 Speaker 12: Why do people like Donald Trump? And if they had 165 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 12: been honest enough to ask themselves that question, they would 166 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 12: have come up with the two main reasons. 167 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 2: And hear what they Here's what they are. 168 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 12: The first reason that people like Donald Trump is because. 169 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 2: He likes them, That's why. 170 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 12: And it's real affection is something you can't fake. I 171 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 12: don't care how many times Kamala Harris would tell me 172 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 12: she loves me. 173 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,959 Speaker 2: I don't believe her. I saw her kiss her. 174 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 12: Husband with a mask on, a mask on. That's her 175 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 12: version of love. It's fake, it's not real. They spent 176 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 12: ten years telling you Trump is a hater. Do you 177 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 12: feel that on him? No, you don't, because it's not there. 178 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 12: I've spent a lot of time with Trump, and there's 179 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 12: not one moment I've ever been with him off camera 180 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 12: He's spending his time grousing about people he hates. Ever, 181 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 12: he's talking about the people and the country he. 182 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 2: Loves in his private time. Trust me, and people know in. 183 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 12: A country that has been taken over by a leadership 184 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 12: class that actually despises them and their values and their 185 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 12: history and their culture and their customs, really hates them 186 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 12: to the point that. 187 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 2: It's trying to replace them. 188 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 12: They know someone who actually has affection for them, and 189 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 12: that's Donald Trump. 190 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 2: And it's requited. It's requited. 191 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 12: They know when he goes to McDonald's and serves fries 192 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 12: like he's not faking that at all. 193 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 2: That's why that works. 194 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 12: Democratic media consults are like, how is that working? Because 195 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 12: it's real, That's why. And the second reason that people 196 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 12: love Trump, and I put myself in this category, it's 197 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 12: why I'm here today, is because he's liberated us in 198 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 12: the deepest and truest sense. And the liberation he has 199 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 12: brought to us is the liberation from the obligation. 200 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 2: To tell lies. 201 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 12: Donald Trump has made it possible for the rest of 202 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 12: us to tell the truth about the world around us. 203 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 12: And that's the single most liberating thing you can do 204 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 12: for people. If you want to enslave people, if you 205 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 12: want to degrade. 206 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 2: Them, force them to tell lies. 207 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 5: And they have. 208 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 12: They forced us to lie about everything at gunpoint. Effectively, 209 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 12: they put people in prison for refusing to lie, and 210 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 12: not just the obvious lies that men can become women, 211 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 12: or Vladimir Putin blew up the North Stream pipeline. 212 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 2: Know honest that you did. January sixth was insurrection. They 213 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 2: were on ormed, but it was very. 214 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 12: Insurrectiony, not even the obvious ones. But the big lie, 215 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 12: you know what the big lie is. The big lie 216 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 12: is that they're impressive. That's what the big lie is. 217 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 12: That the people in charge have somehow earned the right 218 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 12: to rule over you, and they haven't. And you know 219 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 12: that these are the single most useless people in the 220 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 12: United States. 221 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 2: They have no skills whatsoever. 222 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 12: They've got three quarters of the money and they didn't 223 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 12: earn it. They set up a system precisely for the 224 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:04,559 Speaker 12: per of awarding themselves wealth and power when it's undeserved. 225 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 2: You look at Liz Cheney. 226 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 12: And you ask yourself, honestly, what skill could she possibly 227 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 12: have that allowed her to send hundreds of thousands of 228 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 12: people to their deaths? 229 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 2: Did she earn that? I don't think she did. 230 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 12: No fair system would make Liz Cheney powerful. No fair 231 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 12: system would make Larry Fink rich. No fair system would 232 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 12: elevate someone like Kamala Harris to a presidential nomination. She's 233 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 12: never been accused of doing anything useful. 234 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,359 Speaker 2: She has precisely no achievements. 235 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 12: She's a nominee without getting a single vote. 236 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: She is a. 237 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 12: Metaphor for the system they created to make. 238 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 2: Themselves rich and powerful. 239 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 12: And then they have the goal to lecture you that 240 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 12: people can actually change a flat tire and repair a power. 241 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 2: Grid, who have useful jobs, who pay. 242 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 12: Your taxes and work forty hours a week, lecture you 243 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 12: that you are somehow immoral. And Donald Trump has empowered 244 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 12: the rest of us through mostly to sticking around in 245 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 12: the face of their hate and abuse and persecution. He 246 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 12: has given the rest of us the right to call 247 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,199 Speaker 12: bs on the charade. No, you are not better than us. 248 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 12: No you are not smarter than us. No you do 249 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 12: not deserve what you have. You probably stole it. No, 250 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 12: you're not going to bully me into silence anymore. 251 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 2: And I can promise you. 252 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 12: At this point, nine days out, when Robert F. Kennedy Junior, 253 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 12: and Elon Musk and Tulca Gabberton, pretty much every high 254 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 12: school senior and college shorty girl in the country has 255 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 12: come out finally said yeah, I am for Donald Trump. Actually, well, 256 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 12: the entire country has realized there is nothing embarrassing about this. 257 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 12: What's embarrassing is to take a perfectly great. 258 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 2: Country and destroy it as they have. 259 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 12: I'm not ashamed you should be at that moment. It's 260 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 12: going to be pretty tough for them ten days from 261 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 12: now to look in the eye to America with a 262 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 12: straight face. 263 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 2: It's gonna be pretty hard. 264 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 12: To look at us and say, you know what, Kamala Harris, 265 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 12: she's just she got eighty. 266 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 2: Five million votes because. 267 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 12: She's just so impressive as the first Samoan Malaysian low 268 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 12: Iq former California prosecutor ever to be elected president. It 269 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 12: was just a ground swell of popular support. And anyone 270 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 12: who thinks otherwise just a freak or a criminal at 271 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 12: this stage of the game, after nine years of listening 272 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 12: to their lives and finding every single one of them 273 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 12: totally falls. No, it's not safe and effective, and no, 274 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 12: she's not impressive. It's very hard for me to believe 275 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 12: the rest of us are gonna say, you know what, 276 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 12: Joe Scarborough, you're right, You're right. 277 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 5: She won fair and. 278 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 12: Square because she's just so impressive. I don't think so. 279 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 12: And to me, that is liberation. It's the freedom to 280 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 12: say what's obviously true as a free man and not 281 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 12: a slave. And I just want to say thank you 282 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 12: Donald Trump for that. 283 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 1: Speakers smart devices from Michael's brain every single one of 284 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: them to your ears. 285 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 2: This is the Michael Verry Show. 286 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 10: All of the ballots must be received and counted by 287 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 10: election day, which will be November fifth, So the five 288 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 10: day grace period in the Mississippi law would be preempted 289 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 10: by federal law. All of this an attempt to reduce, 290 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 10: if not altogether eliminate, election fraud. Professor Josh Blackman and 291 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 10: a legal expert from the. 292 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 2: South Texas College of Law is our guest. Professor. 293 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 10: Can you set up what exactly this case is about 294 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 10: and how much effect will this have on the forthcoming election? 295 00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 10: This one right now and then long term. 296 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: Sure, this ruling will probably not have any impact on 297 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: the current election, but it could make a difference on 298 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 1: future elections. So here's what happened. During the pandemic. Many 299 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,199 Speaker 1: states began to change their rules. It used to be 300 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: that if a ballot was received by election day, they 301 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: would count it, but the rules changed. If a ballot 302 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: was received after election day, if it was postmark before, 303 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: they would still count it. You know, this is a 304 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,679 Speaker 1: COVID emergency measure, and now the COVID's gone, they sort 305 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: of left the law in place. And this is Mississippi. 306 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: This is not exactly a blue state. The problem, though, 307 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: is that federal law says that there is election day. 308 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: It's a day that's actually set by a statute passed 309 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:44,120 Speaker 1: by Congress. And even if the ballot might be postmarked 310 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: before election day, the court said as to be received 311 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: by election day, and they will not count these late 312 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: arriving ballots. The court they'll put the ruling sort of 313 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: on hold is it will look really close to the 314 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four election. We're not going to change things. Now, 315 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: let's go look at this for twenty six. So no 316 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: immediate effect, but I think this could have an impact 317 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: on how absentee balloting works in the next mid cremony, 318 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 1: even the next presdential election. 319 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:15,400 Speaker 10: So in this particular case, and let's say, okay, let's 320 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 10: say this case has maximum influence over an election, maybe, 321 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 10: if not twenty twenty four, the midterm elections in twenty 322 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 10: twenty six. In order for that to extend beyond Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, 323 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 10: it would have to go to the Supreme Court, and 324 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 10: the Court as it's comprised presently would be expected to 325 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 10: uphold it right a more conservative court. If Trump wins, 326 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 10: you can expect that trend to continue. If Democrats win 327 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 10: and the composition changes, you would then assume it would 328 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 10: go to the Supreme Court so that it would be overruled. 329 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,360 Speaker 10: Is that a fair I know we're horse trading here 330 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 10: and it's purely conjecture, but is that a fair estimation? 331 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: You know, even though the current court is conservative on paper, 332 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if they agree with the Fistrica in 333 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: this one. There have been a number of states, have 334 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: it had policies after COVID where they accept these late 335 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 1: arriving ballots in Pennsylvania. Otherwise, I don't know that the 336 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,159 Speaker 1: true court says, okay, we election day means election day, 337 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: you have to get them in on time. I mean, 338 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: this is one of the problems we have with Pennsylvania. 339 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: For example, we may know the outcome is like a 340 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: week later because they have all these late arriving ballots 341 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: and who tech knows when they you know, when they're 342 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: being accounted. I think it would be a good policy 343 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 1: to have all the ballots in by election day. 344 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 2: That'd be a nice thing to have. 345 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: But you know, this FRU Court might say, well, these 346 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,159 Speaker 1: states have been doing it, we don't have to disrupt 347 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: with the States and doing don't worry about the cederal law, 348 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 1: it doesn't really speak to it. But your other horse 349 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: trade one. I think this is a very important point 350 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 1: to stress. If Harris wins and there's a democratic House 351 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: and democratic Senate, I think it's almost a foregone conclusion 352 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: that they'll try to pack the court. I've you know, 353 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 1: there are not enough people willing to say no any 354 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 1: more to this, and they're just still so burned to 355 00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 1: what happened with abortion a couple of years. With that, 356 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 1: they'll just destroy the court and they'll add, you know, 357 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: three more justices, six more justices, whatever the numbers, it 358 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. And once you do that, once it's over 359 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: my line of workshops mattering very much because the constution 360 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: just whatever the latest majority. 361 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 2: Of the court's added. 362 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: Whoever had the most votes lost election. So if that happens, 363 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: Michael Early voting, the least of our worries the court, 364 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: who know it is a goner, and all the. 365 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 2: Things that we think we know about the. 366 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 1: Law will change very suddenly. 367 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 10: Well, and particularly when we consider that the Supreme Court 368 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 10: is the backstop against unconstitutional actions. When you no longer 369 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 10: have the backstop, you really then have majority rule, mob rule. 370 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 10: You have a government without the ability, you have no 371 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 10: checks and balances, which you know we once extole the 372 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 10: virtues of this has been a fantasy of really socialists, 373 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 10: not just democrats. But this has been a fantasy of 374 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 10: socialists since FDR proposed it, and I think meant it 375 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,959 Speaker 10: but couldn't get away with that. And the idea is, 376 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 10: if we can't beat you fair and square, we're going 377 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 10: to when we're in power, pack this court and you'll 378 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 10: never stop us from there. And they're right, as you note, 379 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,640 Speaker 10: they're right. 380 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 1: Right, and they know this too. You know, they attempted 381 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,639 Speaker 1: to have you know, what they call through court ethics reform, 382 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: and let's just be clear. All the stuff at ethics, 383 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: it's just why to get just the leader and Justice 384 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: Thomas stepped down from cases. It's about unpacking the court, 385 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 1: if you will, taking VOTs off. But once they get 386 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,479 Speaker 1: six more judges, they don't care about these ethics. If 387 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 1: they'll just fly away, they'll just sort of making noise. 388 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: And rightly, this is an issue that is links getting 389 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 1: nearly enough attention. Flection next week, the fillibuster. Once it 390 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: is gone, there'll be you know, legislation, immigration, to add, 391 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 1: you know, tens of millions of new voters they will 392 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: be staged with for Puerto Rico and disc of Columbia, 393 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 1: So that will makes me impossible to every Republican Senate 394 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: ever again, you know, the sorts of changes you have 395 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: once the Philibuster's gone, I think are very significant, and 396 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,400 Speaker 1: the tracks of having Haris a democratic House and democratic 397 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 1: Senate I think would really bring the end of what 398 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 1: we know for the judiciary. 399 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 10: Well, it's good that people understand this while there's still 400 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 10: time to vote. It's good that people across the land 401 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 10: understand that the consequences of not voting are real. I mean, 402 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 10: we're talking to a legal scholar now, who is not 403 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 10: a particularly hyper partisan individual. This is the reality of 404 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 10: our constitution, our legal system, the framework, the very infrastructure 405 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 10: of our political system, and like any other, whether that 406 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 10: be Rome, Greece, modern day Venezuela, or the once Great Germany, 407 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 10: can fall. And this is how your systems fall. This 408 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 10: is how the process that's put in place manages to fail. 409 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 10: Back to this decision in Mississippi by the Fifth Circuit 410 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:53,199 Speaker 10: Court of Appeals, this ruling that ballots must be in 411 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,439 Speaker 10: and counted by election day, I think a lot of 412 00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 10: people watching this say, isn't there some structure by which 413 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 10: we can give you some guardrails here, because you know 414 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 10: they're talking about Arizona's secretary of state came out and said, 415 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,679 Speaker 10: I think ten days to fourteen days this can't be. 416 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 10: You know, how can Brazil do it and we can't. 417 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:16,880 Speaker 2: Well, there's no. 418 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: Reason why you can't. I mean, I think the sort 419 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: of the fear with a lot of people is if 420 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:29,120 Speaker 1: you allow all these later arriving ballots that's be postmarked, well, 421 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:30,719 Speaker 1: you don't really know what a postmark is. It used 422 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: to be a stamp, and sometimes these postmarks are eligible, 423 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: and it creates potential that if the if the elections 424 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: raise or thin, that there's gonna be these quantity of 425 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: votes that. 426 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:40,959 Speaker 5: Maybe we're being able for election day. 427 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: We don't really know we're received at some point afterwards 428 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: and you count them or not. That there is extensive litigation. 429 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: I think a state like Mississippi should probably you know, 430 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 1: revisit this. 431 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 5: They don't have to do this. 432 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: In fact, the Mississippi Attorney General defended this law, which 433 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 1: is perhaps not what you'd expect to say, you know, 434 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 1: ballots received by election day if ors otherwise, that might 435 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 1: be something else. But you don't need to voluntarily adopt 436 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: this rule. 437 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 10: No, And you know, the great frustration is that a 438 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 10: lot of legal might and brain power is being exhausted 439 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:20,120 Speaker 10: trying simply to bring integrity to the system, to ensure 440 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 10: that every vote is counted and that those who are 441 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 10: not allowed to vote are not And it. 442 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 2: Just seems that simple. 443 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 10: Professor Josh Blackman, South Texas College of Law, as always, 444 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 10: thank you for joining us. 445 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: Thank you so much. 446 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:37,120 Speaker 9: We will restore the American Republican Michael Vershoe your support, 447 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 9: we will make America powerful again. 448 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 10: Get the democratical coached an NFL team and they had 449 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:55,159 Speaker 10: the worst quarterback in the NFL. They would simply claim 450 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 10: that the best quarterback in the NFL is a Nazi 451 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,719 Speaker 10: and a fascist, but it wouldn't mean they could win 452 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:10,959 Speaker 10: the game. See Kamala Harris is the worst candidate the 453 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 10: Democrats have put up in my lifetime. And I'll remind 454 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 10: you that Michael Ducacus was horrible. 455 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 2: I'll remind you that Al Gore. 456 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:34,160 Speaker 10: Terrible, John Kerry atrocious. Walter Mondelle was defeated in forty 457 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,120 Speaker 10: nine of the fifty states by Ronald Reagan. He won 458 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 10: only his home state of Minnesota. He lost Massachusetts as 459 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 10: a Democrat. So when they claim Trump's a fascist or 460 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 10: a Nazi, it's because they need you to do anything 461 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 10: other than focus on their candidate who's never won to 462 00:25:55,840 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 10: vote for president. She couldn't last through the Iowa primary 463 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 10: in twenty twenty, and then she was selected as vice 464 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 10: president and they didn't hold They did not hold a 465 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 10: primary process, so she never had to convince voters. Nobody's 466 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 10: ever voted for her outside of California. So the fact 467 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,159 Speaker 10: that she's so unpopular but they keep telling us how 468 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 10: wonderful she is is going to hit home a week 469 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 10: from tomorrow and it's going to hit hard, real hard. 470 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 10: So they're just going to keep trying to distract. Trump's 471 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:42,640 Speaker 10: a Nazi, Trump's a fascist. Washington Examiner had a wonderful 472 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 10: piece on this fellow named Christopher Tremaugli. I hope I'm 473 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 10: pronouncing his name correctly a lot of times, a G 474 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 10: before an L in an Italian name, that G can 475 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:58,159 Speaker 10: be silent, like Leno Graulia, the great law professor I 476 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 10: had for conlaw the University of Texas years ago. But 477 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 10: I'll assume his name is Tramayee or Tremaugli. I don't know, Christopher. 478 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:12,400 Speaker 10: He writes for Washington Times, and he writes about calling 479 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 10: Republicans Nazis, and as it turns out in this wonderful piece, 480 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 10: as he points out, this has been a long standing tradition. 481 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 10: Let's start with former Senator Barry Goldwater. He writes Republican 482 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,639 Speaker 10: from Arizona and his acceptance speech at the Republican National 483 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 10: Convention in nineteen sixty four, over fifty years before Trump 484 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 10: decided to run for president. Celebrities, journalists, politicians, and other 485 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 10: politicos warned that the GOP presidential nominee was an extreme 486 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 10: fascist who would cause considerable harm to the country. Goldwater, 487 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 10: who served as a pilot during World War Two, was 488 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 10: likened to Nazis and fascists for promoting conservatism during his 489 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 10: presidential campaign. For example, the then Democrat governor of California, 490 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 10: Edmund Gerland Pat Brown remarked about Goldwater's acceptance speech, claiming 491 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 10: it had quote the stinch of fascism. All we needed 492 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 10: to hear was Hyle Hitler. It should be noted that 493 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 10: Goldwater served as a pilot in the military during World 494 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 10: War Two. Brown on the other hand, had no military service. 495 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,159 Speaker 10: The then mayor of San Francisco, the city where the 496 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 10: sixty four Republican National Convention was held, said the GOP 497 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 10: quote had main komf as their political bible, that being, 498 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 10: of course, Adolf Hitler's autobiography. The despicable comments continued the 499 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 10: following election. In sixty eight, then Vice President Hubert Humphrey, 500 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 10: and Democrat nominee for president, remarked about the election, if 501 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 10: the British had not fought in forty, Hitler would have 502 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 10: been in London, and if Democrats do not fight in 503 00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 10: sixty eight, Nixon will be in the. 504 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 2: World White House. So here we go. 505 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 10: So Goldwater's a Nazi, now Nixon's a Nazi. Former President 506 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 10: Richard Nixon won the election, but the Hitler, Nazi and 507 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 10: fascist comparisons never stopped. For example, in nineteen seventy, a 508 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 10: political poster featured an image of Adolph Hitler wearing a 509 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 10: Nazi armband holding a mask of Nixon. Meanwhile, a news 510 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 10: article from October of seventy two, available for viewing on 511 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 10: the CIA's website, referred to quote Nixon's Nazis as part 512 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 10: of commentary criticizing Nixon. Then there's a photograph from October 513 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 10: of seventy three of someone wearing a Nixon mask with 514 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 10: a crown giving the Nazi salute. Gerald Ford followed Nixon 515 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 10: as president and as a Republican who was called a fascist. 516 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 10: In nineteen seventy four, a member of the American Civil 517 00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 10: Liberties Union criticized Ford for his lack of action against Nixon. 518 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 7: Quote. 519 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 10: If Ford's principle had been the rule in Nuremberg, the 520 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 10: Nazi leaders would have been let off and only the 521 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 10: people who carried out their schemes would have been tried, 522 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 10: the ACOU said at the time. Additionally, in the Ford 523 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 10: Gerald Ford Library Museum, a document describes an interaction with 524 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 10: the woman in seventy five in which Ford was harassed 525 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 10: and repeatedly called. 526 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 2: A fascist and a fascist pig. 527 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 10: Surely, over a decade of accusations and allegations of fascism, 528 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 10: never coming to fruition would stop Democrats from calling Republicans Nazis, 529 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 10: fascists or comparing them to Hitler right wrong. Former President 530 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 10: Ronald Reagan was the next target in the Democrat's line 531 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 10: of unsubstantiated accusations of fascism. Congressman William Clay a Democrat 532 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 10: from Missouri, stated that Reagan wanted to quote replace the 533 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 10: Bill of Rights with fascist precepts lifted verbatim from mine 534 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 10: komp Times cartoonist Paul Conrad drew a panel depicting Reagan 535 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 10: plotting a fascist push in a darkened Munich beer Hall Hall. 536 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 10: Harry Stein, later a Conservative convert, wrote in Esquire that 537 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 10: the voters who supported Reagan were comparable to the good 538 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 10: Germans in Hitler's Germany. American Enterprise Institute scholar Stephen Hayward 539 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 10: highlighted another incident in which the intelligensia and academia also 540 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 10: contributed to the Reagan fascist comparisons. When John Roth, a 541 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 10: Holocaust scholar from the Claremont Colleges, commented about Reagan's election, 542 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 10: I could not help remembering how forty years ago economic 543 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 10: turmoil had conspired with Nazi nationalism and militarism, all intensified 544 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 10: by Germany's defeat in World War One, to send the 545 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 10: world reeling into catastrophe. It is not entirely mistaken to 546 00:31:55,080 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 10: contemplate our post election state with fear and trembling. Former 547 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 10: President George W. Bush might have been the Republican politician 548 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 10: who faced the harshest and most vile criticism. Before Trump, 549 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 10: Bush was regularly called every dirty name in the book, 550 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 10: from racist to Nazi to fascist to war criminal. There 551 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 10: are many examples of Lincoln Bush to Hitler, Nazi and fascist. 552 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 10: In twenty twelve, Senator Mitt Romney, the same Romney so 553 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 10: many Democrats love today, was also linked to Nazis and fascism. 554 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 10: One delegate from Kansas said Romney was a habitual liar 555 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 10: and likened him to Hitler while criticizing the accuracy of 556 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 10: Romney's campaign talking points. They've done it to Paul Ryan, 557 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 10: They've done it to Dick Cheney. Now Cheney's on their team, 558 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 10: so I guess he's not a Nazi anymore. They're gonna 559 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 10: call Trump every name in the book, just as they've 560 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 10: called you every name in the book racist. They're gonna 561 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 10: call you horrible names because that's what they do, and 562 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 10: there are no consequences. There should be consequences. The kinds 563 00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 10: of people who make these accusations should be driven from 564 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 10: public life. They should never win another election. The kind 565 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 10: of reporters who write this stuff, their businesses should die 566 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 10: off because they're liars. Much as the Washington Post is 567 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 10: struggling with the fact that Jeff Beisos won't allow them 568 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 10: to endorse a candidate. You're supposed to be journalist, Why 569 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 10: would you want to endorse anyway, So they're resigning and 570 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 10: canceling their subscriptions. Well good, A week and a day 571 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 10: until we bring change to this country. 572 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 2: I can't wait.
