1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,159 Speaker 1: It is the eighteenth of September and forty eight days 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: remained until the American people elect one third of the 3 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: United States Senate, the entire House of Representatives, and choose 4 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: the forty seventh President of the United States. This is 5 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 1: the warning. There is a community in trouble in America, Springfield, Ohio. 6 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,960 Speaker 1: It is under siege by a blizzard of lies, by 7 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:32,480 Speaker 1: demagoguery that has endangered its citizens, placed its people in jeopardy. 8 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 1: The schools, the hospitals have been closed because of bomb threats. 9 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: Here is what the mayor of Springfield, Ohio said when 10 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 1: he was directly asked to respond to the proposition advanced 11 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: by J. D. Vance that Donald Trump's lives and J. 12 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: D Vance's lives were a good thing for the people 13 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: of Springfield because they needed the attention from the national media. 14 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 2: But none of this attention that has been brought upon Springfoot, 15 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 2: Ohio is helping helping us. We only have troops State 16 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 2: troopers here now, and the level we have because of 17 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 2: the threats we've received in the last five I think 18 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 2: we're going in five or six days of continuous threats. 19 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 2: We were not receiving threats before at this level when 20 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 2: we were highlighted on the national stage. Now we have threats. 21 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: What is the nature of this debate that is happening 22 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: about whether Haitians are eating dogs and cats and geese 23 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: in Springfield, Ohio. It's certainly stupid on first contact with 24 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: the assertion. When Trump said it out loud, here was 25 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: the Vice president's completely natural reaction in Springfield. They're eating 26 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: the dogs the people that came in, They're eating the cats, 27 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: they're eating the pets of the people that live there. Now, 28 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: let's be honest about something. This is part of Trump's appeal. 29 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: The shock makes you laugh at some level. It's entertaining. 30 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: It's like a bad comedy show that is just good 31 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: enough to keep drawing you back. Now, the smoke filled 32 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: room may not be good for you, but people have 33 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: bad judgment, so they keep going back for a little 34 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: bit more and a little bit more. But what Donald 35 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: Trump and JD. Vance are doing here is not funny 36 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: in any way, in any shape or any form, because 37 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: they're lying, and they are defiant in standing by that lie. 38 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: And that's dangerous, especially in politicians who flirt and embrace authoritarians. JD. 39 00:02:53,960 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: Vance and Donald Trump are communicating something with perfectly, and 40 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 1: it's very simple. They are trying to incite a cohort 41 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: of white America by saying that they are under siege 42 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: in a small Ohio town. And if it can happen there, 43 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 1: it can happen anywhere. By the way, who eats dogs 44 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: and cats in America? If you own dogs and cats, 45 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: what are the threats to them being eaten? Well, it's 46 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: by predators, animals, coyotes. And that's exactly, imprecisely what JD. 47 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: Vans and Donald Trump are saying, that Springfield, Ohio is 48 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: under siege by animals subhumans running them up. Now, the 49 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: conservative media in America used to be serious, used to 50 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: be principles, and filled with people like say George will 51 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: It's not that anymore in the slightest it has become 52 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: the home base for a collection of rottenness and nut 53 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: jobs that literally beggars description. The epicenter of so much 54 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: of the rottenness in the conservative media, the writers, the 55 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 1: thinkers who celebrated themselves and each other as some type 56 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: of intellectual luminaries over the last thirty years, has long 57 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: been the National Review. Now William Buckley, the original founder 58 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: and editor of National Review, sought to purge the Conservative 59 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: movement of its cranks and weirdos, though Buckley himself could 60 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: never shed the racism which has always anchored the Conservative 61 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: movement and has always been embedded in the DNA of 62 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: the National Review, whether it was the opposition to desegregation 63 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: in the name of states rights, William F. Buckley's National 64 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: Review embraced the concept of a quality for all Americans. 65 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:07,679 Speaker 1: Let's just say. Late in the day, Buckley eventually turned 66 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: over the National Review to a man named Rich Lowry. Now, 67 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 1: Rich Lowry sat down with Megan Kelly. 68 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 3: The police have gone through eleven months of recordings of 69 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 3: calls and they've only found two Springfield residents calling to 70 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 3: complain about Haitien Nigger migrants, to complain about Haitien Nigger migrants, 71 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 3: patient Nigger migrants, patient Nigger migrants. 72 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: Now, in the aftermath, of course, Megan Kelly and all 73 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: of the defenders have rushed forward and said, how dare 74 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 1: you think that he may have said what you just heard. 75 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: Nobody should be surprised that we now see the first 76 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: polling indicating the American people in a majority are in 77 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: favor of a mass deportation regimen to evict tens of 78 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: millions of people. Now, Frankly, I don't care what the 79 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: polling says. The American people in their aggregate may not 80 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: appreciate the danger that that position puts all of us in. 81 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: Is Trump and Vance alleging Hatians eating pets and forty 82 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 1: six percent of the country believing it. Is it a 83 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: small thing, a funny thing, a big thing, a serious thing, 84 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: a dangerous thing. What happens next is the danger And 85 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: what we see is in escalating incoherence, an escalating violence 86 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: of rhetoric and escalating imagination, used for division, used for incitement, 87 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 1: used for hatred. By JD. Vance, this line about what 88 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: the media owes the people of Springfield is weapons grade Demagogurey. 89 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 2: You say that you have a responsibility to share what 90 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 2: your constituents tell you, but don't you also have a 91 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 2: responsibility to fact check them first? Well, I think the 92 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 2: media has a responsibility to fact check the residents of 93 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 2: Springfield not live about. 94 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: The Haitians eating pets? Is it a distraction, a small story, 95 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: medium big It's as big as it gets. Because if 96 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: a political leader can convince you that Haitians are eating 97 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: pets in Springfield, Ohio, when they're not. They can make 98 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: you believe anything. And if they can make you believe anything, 99 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: history teaches, they can make you kill anyone. Right now, 100 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: as we speak, there is a concerted effort out of 101 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: this rotten conservative media to silence the Democratic campaign to 102 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: back Vice President Harris off of the most important point 103 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: in the race, which is how Unamerican Trump in dvance are. 104 00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: It's about how fascist their rhetoric is, how danger it is. 105 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: Donald Trump incited an insurrection. He is a man of violence, 106 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: a purveyor of violence, a purveyor of lies, a purveyor 107 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: of conspiracies. Their ally, Robert Kennedy, is a purveyor of insanity. 108 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: Their cause is insanity for the sake of their power. 109 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: What you are witnessing is an organized conspiracy to take 110 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: power from you, to put it into the hands of 111 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: a small cabal who will take whatever they can, like locusts, 112 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: for as long as they can. The terrible news is, 113 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: once they get in there, getting them out requires a 114 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: cost and a sacrifice that is far beyond the effort 115 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: required to prevent them from taking power in the first place. 116 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: And that's the question at hand. Forty nine days from now, 117 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: it's a big deal. What's happening in Springfield, Ohio, small town, 118 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: a university town, is in big trouble because it's under 119 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 1: a to and it's under siege from the Republican candidate 120 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: for president and is running me who, sickeningly is the 121 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 1: US senator from the state in the city that he's attacking. 122 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: And these people want the nuclear football. They want to 123 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: have command and control of the US military. They want 124 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: to author the next decade of the twenty first century 125 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: for this nation in the world. No thanks, any right 126 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: minded person who can't see the craziness of this has 127 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: allowed themselves to be deceived and manipulated, to be blinded 128 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: and controlled. And they have forty nine days to snap 129 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,199 Speaker 1: the fuck out of it before this country heads down 130 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: a road to catastrophe from which there will be no rescue. 131 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: This is the warning.
