1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: There are thirty five days remaining until the American people 2 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: will decide who sits behind the resolute desk in the 3 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:12,320 Speaker 1: Oval Office. This is the warning. The threat is clear, 4 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:17,439 Speaker 1: it's present, and it's dangerous. The threat is Donald Trump 5 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:22,760 Speaker 1: and his understudy jd Vance. He wasn't treated as the 6 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 1: threat that he is. Jd Vance is an extremist who 7 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: said that women who are beaten and tortured should stay 8 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: with their abuser to keep the family strong. Jd Vance 9 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 1: is a political extremist who fetishizes victor orbon who has 10 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: embraced replacement theory, who stigmatizes immigrants, who scapegoats, who is 11 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: involved in one of the most Unamerican projects imaginable. He 12 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: seeks to take rights and liberty away and more than 13 00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: anything else, jd Vance was part of an effort that 14 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: sought to overthrow the government of the United States in 15 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 1: twenty twenty with a pack of lies and jd Vance 16 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 1: is made clear that if he has the power, he 17 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 1: would put the loser against the will of the American people, 18 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: into the Oval Office to be made a dictator. What 19 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: matters in the vice presidential debate was not Tim Walls 20 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: being too nice or Tim walls being too soft or 21 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: tim walls getting lost in the minutia of policy. What 22 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: matters in this debate is what happened in the end, 23 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: and what happened in the end is something that's perfectly clear. 24 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: Donald Trump lost an election, and he incited violence to 25 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: try to overthrow the result of that election in a 26 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: vast conspiracy that culminated in an attack on the capital 27 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: of the United States, where MAGA extremists defecated in the 28 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: United States Senate, in the United States House of Representatives, 29 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: they urinated on the walls of the rotunda. It was purposeful, 30 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: it was deliberate, and JD. Vance was part of it, 31 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: along with a great many of his colleagues. This election 32 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: tests the cornerstone of America's society, whether the people can sustain, 33 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: through free and fair elections, a government of by and 34 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: for the people. What jd. Vance stands for is something 35 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: grotesque and hideous if you are a patriotic American. And 36 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: despite this insanity and blather from the debate by JD. Vance, 37 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: the reality is he is a threat, and Trump is 38 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: a threat, and the MAGA movement is a threat to freedom, 39 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: to liberty, to the rule of law, to the US 40 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:59,679 Speaker 1: Constitution to which they have become domestic enemies. It's the 41 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: true truth and the evidence is this. 42 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 2: Would you again seek to challenge this year's election results, 43 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 2: even if every governor certifies the results. 44 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 3: I'll give you two minutes. Well, Nora, first of all, 45 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 3: I think that we're focused on the future. 46 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 4: We need to figure out how to solve the inflation 47 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 4: crisis caused by Kamala Harris's policies. 48 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 3: And this Kamala Harris wants. 49 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 4: To treat the power to speak government and big tech 50 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 4: to silence people from speaking their minds. That is a 51 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 4: threat to democracy that will long outlive this present political moment. 52 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 5: And this he is still saying he didn't lose the election. 53 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 5: I would just ask to that, did he lose the 54 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 5: twenty twenty election? 55 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 3: Tim? I'm focused on the future. 56 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 4: Did Kamala Harris censor Americans from speaking their mind and 57 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 4: the wake of the twenty twenty COVID situation? 58 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 5: That is a damning That is a damning non answer. 59 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: They are running promising retribution and violence and imprisonment against 60 00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: political foes. History teaches us that Dare has no ever 61 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: ever been a political leader who has promised those things, 62 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: who upon taking power, did not deliver them. And that's 63 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: what this debate should have been about. Donald Trump didn't 64 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: build a strong economy. He wrecked the American economy while 65 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: killing hundreds of thousands of Americans unnecessarily with his deranged 66 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 1: management of the COVID pandemic, which was the worst in 67 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: all the Western developed world. Because the only leader of 68 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: a powerful country who was telling his citizens to inject 69 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: bleach into their arm was the American president, he crashed 70 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 1: the economy, he alienated our allies, he created instability in 71 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: the world, and he set the seeds for the chaos 72 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: we see. The reality is the JD Vance tonight demonstrated 73 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: there was no issue that he would not invert the 74 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: reality of with some type of revisionism that bordered between 75 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: the ludicrous and the delusional. 76 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 2: For instance, here, just to clarify for our viewers, Springfield, 77 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 2: Ohio does have a large number of Haitian migrants who 78 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 2: have legal status temporary protected. 79 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 3: Thank you, senator. We have so much to get to, Margaret. 80 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 3: I think it's important out of the economy. 81 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 4: Things, Margaret, the rules were that you got to We're 82 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 4: going to fact check it. 83 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 3: Who are here when we bring in this additional revenue. 84 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 4: With higher economic growth, we're going to be able to 85 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 4: provide paid family leave childcare options that are viable and 86 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 4: workable for a lot of American families. 87 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 2: Can you clarify how that will solve the childcare shortage. 88 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 4: We're here and we're not going to stop it by 89 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 4: listening to experts. We're going to stop it by listening 90 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 4: to common sense wisdom, which is what Donald Trump governed on. 91 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: What the American people saw tonight was a smooth up 92 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 1: and a Minnesota nice guy who's the governor and the 93 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: VP nominee, who got the talking points down and delivered 94 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: some good lines and no doubt titillated the focus groups 95 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: and all the people in those swing states with the 96 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 1: dials in their hands. But this election is a consequential one. 97 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: This is not Obama versus Romney, This is not Bush 98 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: versus Dukakis, Clinton versus Bush. This is an existential election 99 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: because there is a faithless man who is running to 100 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: be all powerful, to be a caesar, which is what JD. 101 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: Vans has said he wants. It's not about small things, 102 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: and there is no common ground to be had between 103 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 1: patriotic Americans and the MAGA movement that seeks domination, that 104 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 1: seeks control and seeks to take it in thirty five 105 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 1: days each time. Tonight that Tim will All stuck his 106 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: hand out, that tried to be decent, that tried to 107 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: find common grounds. Within a moment or two. JD. Vance 108 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: took a bite out of it because that's his nature. 109 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: He's disingenuous, he's dishonest, and he's a threat. Tim Walls 110 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: talked about fear at the end. 111 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 5: He said, Donald Trump makes the people I care about afraid. 112 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 5: A lot of America feels that way. We don't need 113 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 5: to be afraid. Franklin Roosevelt was right. 114 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: Alls. 115 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 5: We have to fear is fear itself. Kamala Harris is 116 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 5: bringing us a new way forward. 117 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: Fear is on the ballot, But the most important thing 118 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: was left un set. Tim Walls didn't say what must 119 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: be said to the fearmongers, what must be said to 120 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: the demagogues, what must be said to the dividers, What 121 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: must be said to all of the people who hear 122 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: their poisonous message, which is do not be afraid. Kamala 123 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: Harris is the candidate for president, and she showed in 124 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: her debate what's at stake, what's on the line, and 125 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: how manifestly unfit Donald Trump is, And no matter how 126 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: smooth jd Vance might have been, simple reality is he's 127 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: not on the ballot. Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are. 128 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: That's who sits in the big chair behind the big desk, 129 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: and that choice is existential and the failure of this 130 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: debate was that that existential choice wasn't made existentially clear. 131 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 1: Let me make it so. Donald Trump is an existential 132 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: threat to the American way of life, along with JD. Vance, 133 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: along with Ted Cruz, along with a whole legion of 134 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: people who turned against their country for convenience, for money, 135 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: for power. Cynicism overwhelmed their patriotism. That's just what happens. 136 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: It could have been talked about more clearly tonight, but 137 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: Tim Walls did good enough, because good enough means that 138 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: nothing that anyone say here tonight is going to be remembered, 139 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: because really, what happened here isn't about the main event, 140 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: and who cares what went on in Minnesota. What matters 141 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: is this, Donald Trump is a fascist and Kamala Harris 142 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 1: is a leader who will keep this country great and 143 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 1: protect the American spirit. The American Faith and the American 144 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:28,439 Speaker 1: Declaration of Independence, which promises that we are all created 145 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: equal and dowed by a creator, with inalienable rights, including life, 146 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: liberty in the pursuit of happiness. The next president will 147 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: be sitting on the balcony at the White House watching 148 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: the fireworks in twenty twenty six. That person must be 149 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, and it must be her because she is 150 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: the only candidate on the ballot that believes in the people, 151 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: that believes in the country, that believes in the Constitution, 152 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: that believes in our story, that believes in our faith, 153 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: which is liberty.
