Speaker 1: It is October fourteenth, twenty twenty four. Twenty two days
Speaker 1: remain until the American people will go to the polls
Speaker 1: by the tens of millions and choose between Kamala Harris
Speaker 1: and Donald Trump. One of those two will become the
Speaker 1: forty seventh President of the United States. They will hold
Speaker 1: the most powerful office in the world. This is the warning.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump pulled down the veil this weekend. Donald Trump
Speaker 1: revealed exactly who he is and there's no going back
Speaker 1: from it. Let's understand something. What Donald Trump is saying
Speaker 1: has been said before. I'll talk more about that in
Speaker 1: a minute, but before I do, I want to make
Speaker 1: clear that we live in a time of hyperbole and exaggeration.
Speaker 1: I've been accused of it, I think unfairly because what
Speaker 1: I've talked about for ten years I've done my best
Speaker 1: to talk about with decision as a warning about what
Speaker 1: was coming around. Who Donald Trump is and what his
Speaker 1: movement is, and what it's become and can still become.
Speaker 1: It is dangerous, It is un American. We stand at
Speaker 1: an hour that has been prophesied by people skeptical about
Speaker 1: the future. America has arrived at its most dangerous authoritarian
Speaker 1: moment across its entire vast two hundred and forty eight
Speaker 1: year history. There have been moments before. When Charles Limberg
Speaker 1: revealed himself in nineteen forty in a speech in Des
Speaker 1: Moines where he blamed the coming Second World War on
Speaker 1: the Jews. Mostly his speech was greeted with revulsion. And
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why was Franklin Delano Roosevelt was
Speaker 1: sitting in the Oval Office and understood the moral catasheph
Speaker 1: which Limberg represented, that fascism represented, and thus he was
Speaker 1: able to communicate about it, able to warn about it,
Speaker 1: able to be clear with the American people, who were
Speaker 1: slow to awaken to the dangers of it, about what
Speaker 1: was coming about the threat at hand. In the end,
Speaker 1: the American people paid a terrible price to stop fascism.
Speaker 1: But in the end, at the end of that war,
Speaker 1: the United States was left as the most powerful nation
Speaker 1: in world history, and it authored a period, an era,
Speaker 1: an epoch of history that historians called the American Century
Speaker 1: that climaxed in the triumph of liberal, free market capitalism
Speaker 1: and democracy over to talitarianism against communism. With the fall
Speaker 1: of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Speaker 1: A lot of people in that moment said history was
Speaker 1: at its end, that we had arrived at an enlightened
Speaker 1: summit from which there would be no slide back. Ever,
Speaker 1: that it was impossible that liberal values were ascended, that
Speaker 1: the primacy of the ideas of freedom of speech, freedom
Speaker 1: of thought, freedom of religion, freedom of conscience would never
Speaker 1: again be challenged. When the Nazis came to power, they
Speaker 1: came to power attacking immigrants, attacking Jews, unto mentioned lesser people,
Speaker 1: the ones with bad genes, impure blood. You see, it
Speaker 1: was the arians who stead atop of a racial hierarchy.
Speaker 1: The Jews were at the bottom. Donald Trump has put
Speaker 1: other groups at the bottom. But the point of any
Speaker 1: racial hierarchy is that there are always people at the bottom,
Speaker 1: the most impure of the impure, and those human beings
Speaker 1: always face the greatest day. From this ideology, the under people,
Speaker 1: the subhuman people who were encroaching on the living space
Speaker 1: of the pure people, were rife with disease, they were filthy,
Speaker 1: they were degenerate, they were impure, and in the end
Speaker 1: they were called animals, and they were exterminated like animals.
Speaker 1: But the people who did it, when they ran for election,
Speaker 1: ran talking about preserving freedom. They ran talking about cutting inflation,
Speaker 1: about building highways and creating jobs, and restoring dignity and
Speaker 1: pride to the wounded ego of a nation. And about
Speaker 1: thirty percent of the country got in line behind the movement,
Speaker 1: which yielded it one hundred percent political power. And everything
Speaker 1: they did they did under the law. Their law perverse
Speaker 1: though it may be, but the Nazis were assiduous about
Speaker 1: make being sure that everything they did, from the stripping
Speaker 1: of the Jewish citizen's right to an existence in Germany
Speaker 1: was done under a legal framework, all of it. The
Speaker 1: enemy within is the language of a Nazi when people
Speaker 1: talk about needing to deploy the military against an unnamed enemy,
Speaker 1: when they speculate about the necessity of the use of
Speaker 1: force to stamp out bad thoughts, bad ideas that all
Speaker 1: have within them a common thread, which is that the
Speaker 1: bad idea always a sign of mental illness, sickness, derangement, criminality.
Speaker 1: Has to do with opposing, as a matter of conscience,
Speaker 1: the idea that Donald Trump should be free to take
Speaker 1: as he wishes, including your freedom, your liberty, your rights.
Speaker 1: We have come to a profound more moment in the
Speaker 1: United States of America, a vile and terrible man has
Speaker 1: arisen at the head of a movement. He has a
Speaker 1: talent for demagoguery. He has a rare charisma that provokes
Speaker 1: insanity and instability. He gives license to a terrible grievance,
Speaker 1: turning it into a nobility. He has created a community
Speaker 1: of malice, bound together by the lie that somehow they
Speaker 1: are superior, that there's somebody beneath them, and there's somebody
Speaker 1: hunting them, that they have to get first. This is
Speaker 1: the world of the days in the Dems, where always
Speaker 1: there is a conspiracy at hand, the invisible enemy at
Speaker 1: your throat, and only Donald Trump able to protect you.
Speaker 1: It's nonsense. It's a lie. Listen to what Trump is saying.
Speaker 1: Listen to this. It's not new.
Speaker 2: And they're bringing drugs and they're bringing crime and their rapists.
Speaker 2: These people are the most violent people on earth. And
Speaker 2: remember they don't come just from South America. They come
Speaker 2: from the Congo and Africa. They come from all over
Speaker 2: the world. They come from the Middle East, they come
Speaker 2: from Asia, they come from prisons in jails, they come
Speaker 2: from all over the world. And she was saying these
Speaker 2: are very nice people. Either she's really dumb or she's
Speaker 2: very naives.
Speaker 1: Listen to these words.
Speaker 2: We have the greatest military in the world, but you
Speaker 2: have to know how to use them. You have to
Speaker 2: know how to use them. But I protect you against
Speaker 2: outside enemies. But you know I always say we have
Speaker 2: the outside enemy. So you can say China, you can
Speaker 2: say Russia, you can say, he give them jung wound.
Speaker 2: You can say, but it's going to be fun if
Speaker 2: you have a president, no problem. It's the enemy from within,
Speaker 2: all the scum that we have to deal with that
Speaker 2: hate our country. That's a bigger enemy than China and Russia.
Speaker 1: Listen to these words.
Speaker 2: We will not be conquered, we will not be occupied,
Speaker 2: we will not be invaded. We will reclaim our sovereignty,
Speaker 2: We will reclaim our nation. And I will give back
Speaker 2: your freedom and give back your life.
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris must confront us with much tougher, much straighter,
Speaker 1: much clearer language than she has done. This is her test,
Speaker 1: this moment at hand. It is the audition. How is
Speaker 1: it that a president, a great one, a Lincoln, would
Speaker 1: respond to a man like Trump? What would Fdr say?
Speaker 1: What would John Kennedy say Kamala Harris should imagine that
Speaker 1: and then say it's time for her to take come out.
Speaker 1: An existential moment has arrived and the test is for
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris. The threat could not be clearer. The evil
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump is espousing must be called out clearly,
Speaker 1: directly by its name. If Kamala Harris doesn't do it,
Speaker 1: then she will fall short. She will not have passed
Speaker 1: the test. She will have come far on the journey
Speaker 1: and will have much to be proud of personally, but
Speaker 1: it will have failed. The effort, the effort to save
Speaker 1: America from this man, this man who refused to yield
Speaker 1: when he lost an election, incited a coup, and was
Speaker 1: allowed through apathy and indifferent and selfishness, to make a comeback.
Speaker 1: His campaign deserves confrontation. He is spiraling, decaying, and his
Speaker 1: words of malice are becoming clearer. With the decay that's
Speaker 1: wisping away the cover of who Trump has always been
Speaker 1: a fascist. This is not somebody who believes in the ideas,
Speaker 1: in the ideals of America. A grave moment filled with
Speaker 1: danger has arrived. Freedom is threatened. Nobody ever in history
Speaker 1: has ever promised to do the things that Trump is
Speaker 1: promising to do, who, upon taking power, didn't do them.
Speaker 1: He is surrounded by a bevy of hustlers and criminals,
Speaker 1: religious fanatics, political extremists, and want to be oligarchs who
Speaker 1: want a license to steal, to take. And what Trump
Speaker 1: wants is obedience. So long as you stay in line,
Speaker 1: you'll be okay. But that's not the American way. The
Speaker 1: United States is a country full of free people. And
Speaker 1: the idea that Donald Trump will use the United States
Speaker 1: Army to rush descent, to oppose freedom of speech, to
Speaker 1: impose a freedom of faith by stripping it away, this
Speaker 1: is all insanity. We have a chance to stop it cold.
Speaker 1: We should take it as a country, because should Donald
Speaker 1: Trump come to power, a terrible crisis will begin. And
Speaker 1: during that crisis, there are things that will happen in
Speaker 1: America that no one will believe could have ever happened,
Speaker 1: except for the people that were smart enough to listen
Speaker 1: to Donald Trump. Because in the end, there's nothing that
Speaker 1: he can do that he hasn't already promised that he's
Speaker 1: going to do. He's made it perfectly clear. The choice
Speaker 1: is clear. This threat must be stopped. It must be
Speaker 1: opposed across the centuries and the generations, Americans have sacrificed
Speaker 1: everything to preserve a way of life and to expand
Speaker 1: it to include all people of all races, all faiths.
Speaker 1: This idea that human beings should be free, that they're
Speaker 1: born free, that the purpose of life is the pursuit
Speaker 1: of happiness. These American ideals and ideas are worth preserving,
Speaker 1: and they are under grave threat from this man. Listen
Speaker 1: to his malice. It's a threat aimed at your children.
Speaker 1: We have to stop it. If we don't, a terrible
Speaker 1: bill will come. Do mark my words. This is the warning.
