WEBVTT - Trump's Use Of "The Enemy Within" Should Scare EVERYONE 0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:03.960 It is October fourteenth, twenty twenty four. Twenty two days 0:00:04.040 --> 0:00:07.640 remain until the American people will go to the polls 0:00:07.680 --> 0:00:11.920 by the tens of millions and choose between Kamala Harris 0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:15.560 and Donald Trump. One of those two will become the 0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:19.360 forty seventh President of the United States. They will hold 0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:24.200 the most powerful office in the world. This is the warning. 0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:29.600 Donald Trump pulled down the veil this weekend. Donald Trump 0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:34.320 revealed exactly who he is and there's no going back 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:38.280 from it. Let's understand something. What Donald Trump is saying 0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:41.640 has been said before. I'll talk more about that in 0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:44.919 a minute, but before I do, I want to make 0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:50.080 clear that we live in a time of hyperbole and exaggeration. 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:54.680 I've been accused of it, I think unfairly because what 0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:58.320 I've talked about for ten years I've done my best 0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:02.280 to talk about with decision as a warning about what 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:06.440 was coming around. Who Donald Trump is and what his 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:10.920 movement is, and what it's become and can still become. 0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:16.520 It is dangerous, It is un American. We stand at 0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:21.440 an hour that has been prophesied by people skeptical about 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:28.040 the future. America has arrived at its most dangerous authoritarian 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:33.640 moment across its entire vast two hundred and forty eight 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:38.360 year history. There have been moments before. When Charles Limberg 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:42.440 revealed himself in nineteen forty in a speech in Des 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:46.680 Moines where he blamed the coming Second World War on 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:51.480 the Jews. Mostly his speech was greeted with revulsion. And 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:55.200 one of the reasons why was Franklin Delano Roosevelt was 0:01:55.240 --> 0:02:00.000 sitting in the Oval Office and understood the moral catasheph 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:06.280 which Limberg represented, that fascism represented, and thus he was 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:10.080 able to communicate about it, able to warn about it, 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:13.880 able to be clear with the American people, who were 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:17.160 slow to awaken to the dangers of it, about what 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:20.720 was coming about the threat at hand. In the end, 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:25.720 the American people paid a terrible price to stop fascism. 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.840 But in the end, at the end of that war, 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:32.680 the United States was left as the most powerful nation 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:37.160 in world history, and it authored a period, an era, 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:42.640 an epoch of history that historians called the American Century 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:48.120 that climaxed in the triumph of liberal, free market capitalism 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:53.840 and democracy over to talitarianism against communism. With the fall 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:57.800 of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union. 0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:01.480 A lot of people in that moment said history was 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:05.120 at its end, that we had arrived at an enlightened 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:08.520 summit from which there would be no slide back. Ever, 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:13.640 that it was impossible that liberal values were ascended, that 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:17.760 the primacy of the ideas of freedom of speech, freedom 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:22.639 of thought, freedom of religion, freedom of conscience would never 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:26.520 again be challenged. When the Nazis came to power, they 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:33.120 came to power attacking immigrants, attacking Jews, unto mentioned lesser people, 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:37.640 the ones with bad genes, impure blood. You see, it 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:41.920 was the arians who stead atop of a racial hierarchy. 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:45.400 The Jews were at the bottom. Donald Trump has put 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:48.840 other groups at the bottom. But the point of any 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:53.120 racial hierarchy is that there are always people at the bottom, 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:57.840 the most impure of the impure, and those human beings 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:03.680 always face the greatest day. From this ideology, the under people, 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:07.840 the subhuman people who were encroaching on the living space 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:12.720 of the pure people, were rife with disease, they were filthy, 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:16.880 they were degenerate, they were impure, and in the end 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:21.880 they were called animals, and they were exterminated like animals. 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:25.040 But the people who did it, when they ran for election, 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:31.520 ran talking about preserving freedom. They ran talking about cutting inflation, 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:36.680 about building highways and creating jobs, and restoring dignity and 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:40.520 pride to the wounded ego of a nation. And about 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:44.480 thirty percent of the country got in line behind the movement, 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:50.240 which yielded it one hundred percent political power. And everything 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:55.480 they did they did under the law. Their law perverse 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:59.679 though it may be, but the Nazis were assiduous about 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:04.280 make being sure that everything they did, from the stripping 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:08.280 of the Jewish citizen's right to an existence in Germany 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:12.800 was done under a legal framework, all of it. The 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:16.880 enemy within is the language of a Nazi when people 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:22.960 talk about needing to deploy the military against an unnamed enemy, 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:27.520 when they speculate about the necessity of the use of 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:32.880 force to stamp out bad thoughts, bad ideas that all 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.839 have within them a common thread, which is that the 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:41.760 bad idea always a sign of mental illness, sickness, derangement, criminality. 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:45.800 Has to do with opposing, as a matter of conscience, 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:49.560 the idea that Donald Trump should be free to take 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:55.799 as he wishes, including your freedom, your liberty, your rights. 0:05:56.200 --> 0:06:01.839 We have come to a profound more moment in the 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:07.240 United States of America, a vile and terrible man has 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:11.600 arisen at the head of a movement. He has a 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:17.440 talent for demagoguery. He has a rare charisma that provokes 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:23.640 insanity and instability. He gives license to a terrible grievance, 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:28.840 turning it into a nobility. He has created a community 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:34.120 of malice, bound together by the lie that somehow they 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:39.440 are superior, that there's somebody beneath them, and there's somebody 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:43.200 hunting them, that they have to get first. This is 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:46.799 the world of the days in the Dems, where always 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:51.400 there is a conspiracy at hand, the invisible enemy at 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:55.600 your throat, and only Donald Trump able to protect you. 0:06:56.160 --> 0:07:00.920 It's nonsense. It's a lie. Listen to what Trump is saying. 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:03.920 Listen to this. It's not new. 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:09.840 And they're bringing drugs and they're bringing crime and their rapists. 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.680 These people are the most violent people on earth. And 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:16.200 remember they don't come just from South America. They come 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:19.800 from the Congo and Africa. They come from all over 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:24.160 the world. They come from the Middle East, they come 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:27.560 from Asia, they come from prisons in jails, they come 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:30.760 from all over the world. And she was saying these 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:35.360 are very nice people. Either she's really dumb or she's 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:36.240 very naives. 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:38.600 Listen to these words. 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:42.240 We have the greatest military in the world, but you 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:44.720 have to know how to use them. You have to 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:48.520 know how to use them. But I protect you against 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:51.680 outside enemies. But you know I always say we have 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:54.240 the outside enemy. So you can say China, you can 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:56.880 say Russia, you can say, he give them jung wound. 0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:59.640 You can say, but it's going to be fun if 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:03.600 you have a president, no problem. It's the enemy from within, 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.760 all the scum that we have to deal with that 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:12.880 hate our country. That's a bigger enemy than China and Russia. 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:15.000 Listen to these words. 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:18.080 We will not be conquered, we will not be occupied, 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:21.880 we will not be invaded. We will reclaim our sovereignty, 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:25.400 We will reclaim our nation. And I will give back 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:28.480 your freedom and give back your life. 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:35.840 Kamala Harris must confront us with much tougher, much straighter, 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:40.599 much clearer language than she has done. This is her test, 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:44.080 this moment at hand. It is the audition. How is 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:47.880 it that a president, a great one, a Lincoln, would 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:51.959 respond to a man like Trump? What would Fdr say? 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:56.360 What would John Kennedy say Kamala Harris should imagine that 0:08:56.720 --> 0:09:00.000 and then say it's time for her to take come out. 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:04.840 An existential moment has arrived and the test is for 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:09.000 Kamala Harris. The threat could not be clearer. The evil 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:13.720 that Donald Trump is espousing must be called out clearly, 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:19.559 directly by its name. If Kamala Harris doesn't do it, 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:22.720 then she will fall short. She will not have passed 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:25.920 the test. She will have come far on the journey 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:29.120 and will have much to be proud of personally, but 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:32.120 it will have failed. The effort, the effort to save 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:36.160 America from this man, this man who refused to yield 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:39.880 when he lost an election, incited a coup, and was 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:47.199 allowed through apathy and indifferent and selfishness, to make a comeback. 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:53.760 His campaign deserves confrontation. He is spiraling, decaying, and his 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:58.400 words of malice are becoming clearer. With the decay that's 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:02.680 wisping away the cover of who Trump has always been 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:09.520 a fascist. This is not somebody who believes in the ideas, 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:15.680 in the ideals of America. A grave moment filled with 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:22.880 danger has arrived. Freedom is threatened. Nobody ever in history 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:27.480 has ever promised to do the things that Trump is 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:32.760 promising to do, who, upon taking power, didn't do them. 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:37.240 He is surrounded by a bevy of hustlers and criminals, 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:42.760 religious fanatics, political extremists, and want to be oligarchs who 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:46.200 want a license to steal, to take. And what Trump 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:49.800 wants is obedience. So long as you stay in line, 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:53.320 you'll be okay. But that's not the American way. The 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:56.160 United States is a country full of free people. And 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:59.400 the idea that Donald Trump will use the United States 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:03.120 Army to rush descent, to oppose freedom of speech, to 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:06.760 impose a freedom of faith by stripping it away, this 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:11.240 is all insanity. We have a chance to stop it cold. 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:14.920 We should take it as a country, because should Donald 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:19.079 Trump come to power, a terrible crisis will begin. And 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:22.640 during that crisis, there are things that will happen in 0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:27.440 America that no one will believe could have ever happened, 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:31.920 except for the people that were smart enough to listen 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:35.839 to Donald Trump. Because in the end, there's nothing that 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:40.080 he can do that he hasn't already promised that he's 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:44.199 going to do. He's made it perfectly clear. The choice 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:49.480 is clear. This threat must be stopped. It must be 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:56.840 opposed across the centuries and the generations, Americans have sacrificed 0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:01.479 everything to preserve a way of life and to expand 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:06.599 it to include all people of all races, all faiths. 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:11.120 This idea that human beings should be free, that they're 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:14.559 born free, that the purpose of life is the pursuit 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:18.920 of happiness. These American ideals and ideas are worth preserving, 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:23.000 and they are under grave threat from this man. Listen 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:26.720 to his malice. It's a threat aimed at your children. 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:29.679 We have to stop it. If we don't, a terrible 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:33.920 bill will come. Do mark my words. This is the warning. 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:38.079 I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning, and I invite 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:41.360 you to join.
