WEBVTT - All You Need To Know About The 2024 RNC

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:03.400
<v Speaker 1>It is July the nineteenth, one hundred and eight days

0:00:03.520 --> 0:00:06.040
<v Speaker 1>until the last polls close on election Day, and it

0:00:06.120 --> 0:00:10.039
<v Speaker 1>is thirty one days away from the convening of the

0:00:10.039 --> 0:00:14.520
<v Speaker 1>Democratic National Convention in Chicago. It is the day after

0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump's acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, which

0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:26.800
<v Speaker 1>broke all records for duration, for inanity, for nonsensicalness, and

0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:32.600
<v Speaker 1>for cult like devotion from the audience. This is the warning.

0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump's ninety three minute ramble deeply impressed CNN commentator

0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:45.840
<v Speaker 1>Van Jones. Now, I don't know about that. I seem

0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:50.280
<v Speaker 1>to recall Barack Obama speaking in a completely filled NFL

0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:54.440
<v Speaker 1>stadium and he talked about hope and change. It wasn't

0:00:54.480 --> 0:01:01.760
<v Speaker 1>a dishonest, messianic, insane ramble. It wasn't a Fidel Castro's speech.

0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:06.919
<v Speaker 1>But whatever the energy, Van Jones thinks that he felt

0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:10.240
<v Speaker 1>in the room. My god, he should have been at Nuremberg.

0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 1>At any rate. The Republican Convention has come to an

0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:18.320
<v Speaker 1>end and Donald Trump is leading in the race for president.

0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:22.720
<v Speaker 1>He is ahead. He is winning every swing state, and

0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:28.360
<v Speaker 1>now states like New Mexico, Minnesota, Virginia, and New Hampshire

0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:31.600
<v Speaker 1>are in play. The news of the hour is not

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:37.080
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump's convention speech or the aftermath of his zany convention.

0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:42.280
<v Speaker 1>It is the implosion of President Biden's re election campaign.

0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 1>It is ending, and it will end in the next

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:48.840
<v Speaker 1>couple of days. The Democrats don't yet have a candidate

0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 1>for president. Now, a lot of people are having a

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:57.520
<v Speaker 1>hard time orienting around what is happening in the Democratic Party.

0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:02.320
<v Speaker 1>It's important to understand it's not a top down event.

0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:06.480
<v Speaker 1>It's not a rainstorm or a hailstorm. What you're seeing

0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 1>is the ground giving out, giving way underneath the feet

0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:17.480
<v Speaker 1>of the Democratic establishment who foisted this charade on the

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:22.280
<v Speaker 1>American people. It is interesting that the architects of the

0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:27.480
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty four rigged democratic process that brought the party

0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:33.119
<v Speaker 1>to this disaster are now the first to speak when

0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:36.800
<v Speaker 1>it comes time to figuring out what to do next.

0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:41.080
<v Speaker 1>James Clyburn is one of the architects of this moment

0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 1>of disaster with his divisiveness. What James Clyburn and Joe

0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Biden engineered was this result because they denied the opportunity

0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:56.919
<v Speaker 1>for competition to kick the wheels to see if Joe

0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Biden was ready to make the race, and he was,

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:06.400
<v Speaker 1>and now the very same people, the very same architects

0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:11.760
<v Speaker 1>of the President debacle, are again trying to control events,

0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:16.520
<v Speaker 1>trying to grip the wheel tighter and tighter and tighter.

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:19.760
<v Speaker 1>It's not working. Kamala Harris is the front run to

0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 1>be the Democratic nominee for president. What Vice President Harris

0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.920
<v Speaker 1>has to say is I want to earn it. I

0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:31.320
<v Speaker 1>want to earn the support of the delegates. The best

0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:35.160
<v Speaker 1>thing that could happen is that Vice President Harris would

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:39.200
<v Speaker 1>have some competition at the convention that she could defeat

0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:43.600
<v Speaker 1>with a powerful and compelling message. The Democrats need to

0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:49.960
<v Speaker 1>think larger, more expansively about what is the ticket that

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:54.480
<v Speaker 1>can win. The bottom line is this, The convention process

0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:57.840
<v Speaker 1>must be open. There must be a competition. There must

0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:03.000
<v Speaker 1>be more voices than the vice presidents in the firmament

0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:07.160
<v Speaker 1>for the delegates to hear as they make the most

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:11.480
<v Speaker 1>important political choice of the twenty first century, which is

0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:16.960
<v Speaker 1>who is going up against the fascist cause. Donald Trump's

0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:22.240
<v Speaker 1>speech was long, He was boring, contradictory, and incoherent, but

0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:27.760
<v Speaker 1>mostly within ten minutes, it exposed the nonsense that Donald

0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:31.599
<v Speaker 1>Trump has somehow been transformed. He is a man running

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:36.279
<v Speaker 1>on a platform of revenge and retribution against the American

0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:40.160
<v Speaker 1>people who will not genuflect, who will not accept his

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:43.960
<v Speaker 1>assertion that he should have unlimited power to save the

0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:47.919
<v Speaker 1>country that he alone can fix. There are millions of

0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Americans who left out loud when people look earnestly from

0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:57.040
<v Speaker 1>a stage and tell us that God saved Donald Trump,

0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:01.800
<v Speaker 1>God anointed Donald Trump to lead. There are millions of

0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:06.000
<v Speaker 1>us who are shocked that somebody who beat his wife

0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:10.840
<v Speaker 1>on video was the person Donald Trump picked to introduce him. J. D.

0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Vance's speech was interesting when he talked about the seven

0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:18.840
<v Speaker 1>generations of Hillbillies buried on the mountain. It was a

0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:25.080
<v Speaker 1>primer of sorts, a sweet introduction to blood and soil nationalism,

0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:31.960
<v Speaker 1>which is antithetical to Americanism, contrary to patriotism. This is

0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:36.200
<v Speaker 1>a big part of the MAGA movement, lost and lonely,

0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:42.960
<v Speaker 1>people staring at their screens, tweeting with their thumbs, lost alone,

0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:47.479
<v Speaker 1>who found community in this rancid cause. But this is

0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:51.640
<v Speaker 1>a community that is not patriotic, though they wave the flag.

0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:57.000
<v Speaker 1>This is a community that harbinger's real malice, real animus

0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:00.160
<v Speaker 1>towards a lot of people in the country. So when

0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump begins his speech with a solemn reckoning, it

0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:07.680
<v Speaker 1>was a dark and stormy night. There are millions of

0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:12.800
<v Speaker 1>us who laugh out loud because the preposterous idea that

0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:18.799
<v Speaker 1>somehow the mist assassin's bullet has wiped away nine years

0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:23.200
<v Speaker 1>of malice and threats and corruption and criminal conduct isn't

0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:27.680
<v Speaker 1>just insane, it's absurd. We are in an unchartered moment

0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:33.440
<v Speaker 1>in American politics. This Republican Convention provided the American people

0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:39.000
<v Speaker 1>a spectacle of weirdness and unfitness. Look at mac Gates's face.

0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:43.120
<v Speaker 1>One hundred and eight days from now, the American people

0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:47.120
<v Speaker 1>will make a choice. It will not be between Donald

0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:51.160
<v Speaker 1>Trump and Joe Biden. Donald Trump will be on the ballot,

0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:56.039
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden won't, and the choice will be America or Trump.

0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:59.280
<v Speaker 1>This race is about one thing. It's about the orange

0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:02.560
<v Speaker 1>tinted fact at the top of the Republican ticket who

0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:07.479
<v Speaker 1>denied an election result and incited violence against the Constitution

0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:11.000
<v Speaker 1>of the United States while leading an insurrection. He's a

0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:14.400
<v Speaker 1>bad man, he's a rapist, he's a man of violence

0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:18.000
<v Speaker 1>in mayhem and chaos, and he was the worst president

0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:22.080
<v Speaker 1>in American history. And the Democratic Party has an immense

0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:24.960
<v Speaker 1>duty their duty is to win and to defeat this

0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:30.400
<v Speaker 1>and the architects of the present situation should take a

0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:34.920
<v Speaker 1>very deep breath and be still for a moment and

0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:38.920
<v Speaker 1>do nothing, practice humility for at least a minute before

0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:42.520
<v Speaker 1>telling us once again who it must be that will

0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:46.640
<v Speaker 1>take on Donald Trump. And if we disagree, we're spoilers

0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:50.160
<v Speaker 1>who are helping Trump. Because the fact of the matter

0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:54.720
<v Speaker 1>is the architects of this debacle have given more sucar

0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:59.640
<v Speaker 1>to Donald Trump. Because the architects of this disaster have

0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:03.800
<v Speaker 1>given and more to Donald Trump than all but a

0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:08.520
