1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,960 Speaker 1: It is October fourteenth, twenty twenty four. Twenty two days 2 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 1: remain until the American people will go to the polls 3 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 1: by the tens of millions and choose between Kamala Harris 4 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: and Donald Trump. One of those two will become the 5 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: forty seventh President of the United States. They will hold 6 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: the most powerful office in the world. This is the warning. 7 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: Donald Trump pulled down the veil this weekend. Donald Trump 8 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: revealed exactly who he is and there's no going back 9 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 1: from it. Let's understand something. What Donald Trump is saying 10 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: has been said before. I'll talk more about that in 11 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,919 Speaker 1: a minute, but before I do, I want to make 12 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: clear that we live in a time of hyperbole and exaggeration. 13 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: I've been accused of it, I think unfairly because what 14 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: I've talked about for ten years I've done my best 15 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: to talk about with decision as a warning about what 16 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: was coming around. Who Donald Trump is and what his 17 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: movement is, and what it's become and can still become. 18 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: It is dangerous, It is un American. We stand at 19 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: an hour that has been prophesied by people skeptical about 20 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 1: the future. America has arrived at its most dangerous authoritarian 21 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: moment across its entire vast two hundred and forty eight 22 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: year history. There have been moments before. When Charles Limberg 23 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: revealed himself in nineteen forty in a speech in Des 24 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 1: Moines where he blamed the coming Second World War on 25 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: the Jews. Mostly his speech was greeted with revulsion. And 26 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: one of the reasons why was Franklin Delano Roosevelt was 27 00:01:55,240 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: sitting in the Oval Office and understood the moral catasheph 28 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: which Limberg represented, that fascism represented, and thus he was 29 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 1: able to communicate about it, able to warn about it, 30 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: able to be clear with the American people, who were 31 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: slow to awaken to the dangers of it, about what 32 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: was coming about the threat at hand. In the end, 33 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: the American people paid a terrible price to stop fascism. 34 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: But in the end, at the end of that war, 35 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: the United States was left as the most powerful nation 36 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: in world history, and it authored a period, an era, 37 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 1: an epoch of history that historians called the American Century 38 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: that climaxed in the triumph of liberal, free market capitalism 39 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: and democracy over to talitarianism against communism. With the fall 40 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union. 41 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: A lot of people in that moment said history was 42 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: at its end, that we had arrived at an enlightened 43 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: summit from which there would be no slide back. Ever, 44 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 1: that it was impossible that liberal values were ascended, that 45 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: the primacy of the ideas of freedom of speech, freedom 46 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 1: of thought, freedom of religion, freedom of conscience would never 47 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: again be challenged. When the Nazis came to power, they 48 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: came to power attacking immigrants, attacking Jews, unto mentioned lesser people, 49 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: the ones with bad genes, impure blood. You see, it 50 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: was the arians who stead atop of a racial hierarchy. 51 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: The Jews were at the bottom. Donald Trump has put 52 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: other groups at the bottom. But the point of any 53 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: racial hierarchy is that there are always people at the bottom, 54 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: the most impure of the impure, and those human beings 55 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: always face the greatest day. From this ideology, the under people, 56 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: the subhuman people who were encroaching on the living space 57 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: of the pure people, were rife with disease, they were filthy, 58 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: they were degenerate, they were impure, and in the end 59 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: they were called animals, and they were exterminated like animals. 60 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: But the people who did it, when they ran for election, 61 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: ran talking about preserving freedom. They ran talking about cutting inflation, 62 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: about building highways and creating jobs, and restoring dignity and 63 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: pride to the wounded ego of a nation. And about 64 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: thirty percent of the country got in line behind the movement, 65 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: which yielded it one hundred percent political power. And everything 66 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 1: they did they did under the law. Their law perverse 67 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,679 Speaker 1: though it may be, but the Nazis were assiduous about 68 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 1: make being sure that everything they did, from the stripping 69 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: of the Jewish citizen's right to an existence in Germany 70 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: was done under a legal framework, all of it. The 71 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: enemy within is the language of a Nazi when people 72 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: talk about needing to deploy the military against an unnamed enemy, 73 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: when they speculate about the necessity of the use of 74 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: force to stamp out bad thoughts, bad ideas that all 75 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: have within them a common thread, which is that the 76 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: bad idea always a sign of mental illness, sickness, derangement, criminality. 77 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: Has to do with opposing, as a matter of conscience, 78 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: the idea that Donald Trump should be free to take 79 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:55,799 Speaker 1: as he wishes, including your freedom, your liberty, your rights. 80 00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: We have come to a profound more moment in the 81 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: United States of America, a vile and terrible man has 82 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 1: arisen at the head of a movement. He has a 83 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: talent for demagoguery. He has a rare charisma that provokes 84 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: insanity and instability. He gives license to a terrible grievance, 85 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 1: turning it into a nobility. He has created a community 86 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: of malice, bound together by the lie that somehow they 87 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: are superior, that there's somebody beneath them, and there's somebody 88 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: hunting them, that they have to get first. This is 89 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,799 Speaker 1: the world of the days in the Dems, where always 90 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: there is a conspiracy at hand, the invisible enemy at 91 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 1: your throat, and only Donald Trump able to protect you. 92 00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: It's nonsense. It's a lie. Listen to what Trump is saying. 93 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: Listen to this. It's not new. 94 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 2: And they're bringing drugs and they're bringing crime and their rapists. 95 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 2: These people are the most violent people on earth. And 96 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 2: remember they don't come just from South America. They come 97 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 2: from the Congo and Africa. They come from all over 98 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 2: the world. They come from the Middle East, they come 99 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 2: from Asia, they come from prisons in jails, they come 100 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 2: from all over the world. And she was saying these 101 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 2: are very nice people. Either she's really dumb or she's 102 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 2: very naives. 103 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: Listen to these words. 104 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 2: We have the greatest military in the world, but you 105 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 2: have to know how to use them. You have to 106 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 2: know how to use them. But I protect you against 107 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 2: outside enemies. But you know I always say we have 108 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 2: the outside enemy. So you can say China, you can 109 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 2: say Russia, you can say, he give them jung wound. 110 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 2: You can say, but it's going to be fun if 111 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 2: you have a president, no problem. It's the enemy from within, 112 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 2: all the scum that we have to deal with that 113 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 2: hate our country. That's a bigger enemy than China and Russia. 114 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: Listen to these words. 115 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 2: We will not be conquered, we will not be occupied, 116 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 2: we will not be invaded. We will reclaim our sovereignty, 117 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 2: We will reclaim our nation. And I will give back 118 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 2: your freedom and give back your life. 119 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris must confront us with much tougher, much straighter, 120 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:40,599 Speaker 1: much clearer language than she has done. This is her test, 121 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 1: this moment at hand. It is the audition. How is 122 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: it that a president, a great one, a Lincoln, would 123 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,959 Speaker 1: respond to a man like Trump? What would Fdr say? 124 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: What would John Kennedy say Kamala Harris should imagine that 125 00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: and then say it's time for her to take come out. 126 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: An existential moment has arrived and the test is for 127 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris. The threat could not be clearer. The evil 128 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump is espousing must be called out clearly, 129 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:19,559 Speaker 1: directly by its name. If Kamala Harris doesn't do it, 130 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: then she will fall short. She will not have passed 131 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: the test. She will have come far on the journey 132 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: and will have much to be proud of personally, but 133 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: it will have failed. The effort, the effort to save 134 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: America from this man, this man who refused to yield 135 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: when he lost an election, incited a coup, and was 136 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 1: allowed through apathy and indifferent and selfishness, to make a comeback. 137 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: His campaign deserves confrontation. He is spiraling, decaying, and his 138 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: words of malice are becoming clearer. With the decay that's 139 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 1: wisping away the cover of who Trump has always been 140 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: a fascist. This is not somebody who believes in the ideas, 141 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: in the ideals of America. A grave moment filled with 142 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: danger has arrived. Freedom is threatened. Nobody ever in history 143 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: has ever promised to do the things that Trump is 144 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: promising to do, who, upon taking power, didn't do them. 145 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: He is surrounded by a bevy of hustlers and criminals, 146 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: religious fanatics, political extremists, and want to be oligarchs who 147 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: want a license to steal, to take. And what Trump 148 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: wants is obedience. So long as you stay in line, 149 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: you'll be okay. But that's not the American way. The 150 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: United States is a country full of free people. And 151 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: the idea that Donald Trump will use the United States 152 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: Army to rush descent, to oppose freedom of speech, to 153 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: impose a freedom of faith by stripping it away, this 154 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: is all insanity. We have a chance to stop it cold. 155 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: We should take it as a country, because should Donald 156 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 1: Trump come to power, a terrible crisis will begin. And 157 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: during that crisis, there are things that will happen in 158 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: America that no one will believe could have ever happened, 159 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: except for the people that were smart enough to listen 160 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,839 Speaker 1: to Donald Trump. Because in the end, there's nothing that 161 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: he can do that he hasn't already promised that he's 162 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,199 Speaker 1: going to do. He's made it perfectly clear. The choice 163 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: is clear. This threat must be stopped. It must be 164 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: opposed across the centuries and the generations, Americans have sacrificed 165 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:01,479 Speaker 1: everything to preserve a way of life and to expand 166 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:06,599 Speaker 1: it to include all people of all races, all faiths. 167 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: This idea that human beings should be free, that they're 168 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,559 Speaker 1: born free, that the purpose of life is the pursuit 169 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: of happiness. These American ideals and ideas are worth preserving, 170 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: and they are under grave threat from this man.
