1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: Eighty seven days until the last American will vote and

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: decide who will be the forty seventh President of the

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:09,560
Speaker 1: United States.

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 2: This is the warning.

5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: The first time I ever heard the word meltdown, it

6
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 1: was with regard to the nuclear plant at Three Mile

7
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: Island in Pennsylvania. When a nuclear plant melts down, or

8
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: you're told it may be melting down or it could

9
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: melt down, it really doesn't matter. When you're nine years old,

10
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: the word you remember is meltdown. Hollywood, like politics, is

11
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: always down river from culture. What this means is that

12
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: in the aftermath of the Three Mile Island accident, there

13
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: were movies, the China Syndrome, the nuclear freeze movement, meltdown.

14
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 2: It was a.

15
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: Word that was popularized into the vocabulary. Of course, later

16
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: there was a real meltdown at Chernobyl. There was a

17
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: moment in when the Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbatrov was told

18
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: the entirety of the Ukraine, East Germany, Poland Hungry, the

19
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 1: entirety of the Warsaw Pact would be uninhabitable meltdown. There was,

20
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: of course, the meltdown at Fukushima after the massive Japanese

21
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: earthquake in the tsunami that hit the Tepco plant, and

22
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: there was, of course the meltdown at Mara A Lago.

23
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: He's unhinged. Now.

24
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: The simple truth of the matter is Donald Trump, at

25
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: seventy eight is too old to be president. He can't

26
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: distinguish what's real and not. These are trying days in

27
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: mar A Lago. Trump's news conference was completely unhinged. He

28
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: is unfit, manifestly unfitted, not just for the presidency but

29
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: for any position of responsibility. He's qualified to be the

30
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: greeter at walmart on a volunteer basis, let alone the

31
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: commander in chief. But let's go through lie by lie

32
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: and set the record straight.

33
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 3: And I've spoken to the biggest crowds. Nobody's spoken to

34
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 3: crowds bigger than me. If you look at Martin Luther

35
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 3: King when he did his speech, his great speech, and

36
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 3: you look at ours, same real estate, same everything, same

37
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 3: number of people, if not, we had more. And they

38
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 3: said he had a million people, but I had twenty

39
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 3: five thousand people.

40
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: So here's a classic Trump absurdity. He's talking about the

41
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: January sixth crowd on the Ellipse, which was ten thousand people,

42
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: which he incited to march on the Capitol where seven

43
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 1: people died, something he denied during the news conference where

44
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: he said there were no deaths at the insurrection. He

45
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: incited there were seven. There were deaths on the day,

46
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: and there have been suicides since that day. But the

47
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: crowd that he's comparing himself to is one of the

48
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: most moral and righteous in all of American history. His

49
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: crowd of ten thousand, Trump is saying is precisely the

50
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: same as one that was twenty times larger, that gathered

51
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty three, that was ecumenical in spirit. It

52
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: was called the Freedom March, and the Freedom March came

53
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: with Martin Luther King at the lead, but not alone.

54
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: He was surrounded that day by white men and women,

55
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: by black men and women, by people of all races, creeds,

56
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: and religion. He said, challenging America, just live up to

57
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: the words that you wrote down.

58
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 2: And he did it in the shadow.

59
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: Of Abraham Lincoln's shrine, the Temple where the memory of

60
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: Lincoln rests forever, as it does in the hearts of

61
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: his countrymen for whom he saved the Union. As the

62
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: inscription above Lincoln reads on the walls, are the two

63
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: great speeches, the Gettysburg address, the second Inaugural, with malice

64
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:19,239
Speaker 1: towards none, with charity towards all. So no, Donald Trump

65
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: and his insurrectionist mob and his calls to retribution and

66
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: revenge are not comparable in any way, in any form,

67
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: to the moral dignity of Martin Luther King leading the

68
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: freedom parade at the founding of the American Republic.

69
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: That we have now.

70
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: That day, the work before and the work after helped

71
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: make King every bit as much of an American founder

72
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: as Lincoln, as Jefferson, as Hamilton, as Washington.

73
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 2: What Trump is is the.

74
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: Great desecrator of the nobility of a profoundly true and

75
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: important idea at the core of this country.

76
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 3: Why is it that millions of people were allowed to

77
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 3: come into our country from prisons, from jails, from mental institutions,

78
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 3: insane asylums. Even Insana said, that's a it's a mental

79
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 3: institution on steroids. That's what it is. When you see

80
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 3: the people that are coming into earth, these are institutions

81
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 3: that are being emptied out, not in South America, all

82
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 3: over the world, including South America. All over the world,

83
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 3: prisons are being emptied out into our country.

84
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: Yes, immigration is an issue foremost on the minds of

85
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: the American public. It's important to understand immigration dropped to

86
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 1: a net zero during the Trump presidency, not because of

87
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: anything Trump did.

88
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: There was no wall built. It's all bullshit.

89
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: What happened was a global pandemic that stopped the movement

90
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: of people. Now we're trying to get inside Trump's head.

91
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: It's always it's difficult because you have to open yourself

92
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: to the possibility of a massive intellectual deficiency. That's hard

93
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: to wrap your head around, even when pretending so. Donald

94
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: Trump is not a smart man.

95
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: He's not.

96
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: He cheated his way into Wharton, he cheated his way

97
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: into the University of Pennsylvania. He's never earned anything. He

98
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: was an accidental president. He was a bankrupt casino magnate.

99
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: And he was somebody who was handed a fortune by

100
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: his father that he squandered, having to be bailed out

101
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: over and over over again. Trump thinks that we think

102
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 1: he's a genius.

103
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 2: He's not.

104
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 1: Here's the most incredible part. When you dissect all of

105
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: Trump's speeches, it seems obvious that he believes all over

106
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: the world people are mass escaping insane asylum and these

107
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: places aren't called that anymore. But in all of the

108
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: escapees from the insane asylums are trying to break into

109
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: America to get into asylums. Here, when you dissect the

110
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: incoherence of what Trump is saying, this is his argument.

111
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: He's not somebody that you can communicate information to. He

112
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: can't learn things, he can't absorb facts because the world

113
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: he exists in doesn't account for reality versus delusion.

114
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 3: You know, with the Hillary Clinton, I could have done

115
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 3: things to her that would have made your headspind. I

116
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 3: thought it was a very bad thing. Take the wife

117
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 3: of a president of the United States and put her

118
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 3: in jail, and then I see the way they treat me.

119
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 3: That's the way it goes. But I was very protective

120
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 3: of her. Nobody would understand that, but I was. I

121
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 3: think my people understand it. They used to say lock

122
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 3: her up, lock her up, and I'd say, just relax, please,

123
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 3: and here's the deal.

124
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 2: He never said relax.

125
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: When the political extremists, disgrace general and fascists introduced to

126
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: America the lock her up chant, I was sitting on

127
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: an NBC news set and I said, welcome to the

128
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: era of Banana Republicanism. Trump did that. He could have

129
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: done terrible things. What's that Donald? Put her in a

130
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: concentration camp like you've threatened to do to tens and

131
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: scores of millions of Americans. Your restraint, Donald is positively

132
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: christ Like. What a sweet man you are. This is

133
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: not a beneficent statement. This is a threat. Elect me

134
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: or here's the terrible things I'll.

135
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 2: Do to you. I could have, but I did it.

136
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 2: G trust me.

137
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna speak in idiomatic English New Jersey dialect.

138
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 2: Keep the fuck out of here? Are you kidding me?

139
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 1: This is the person who wants to be the commander

140
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: in chief, the President of the United States, the head

141
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: of state.

142
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 2: Please, it's disgraceful.

143
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 3: To me, it doesn't matter. But to her, from her standpoint,

144
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 3: I think it's very disrespectful to both. Really, whether it's

145
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 3: Indian or Black, I think it's very disrespectful to both.

146
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 3: To me, it doesn't matter.

147
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: There are eighty seven days to go, and sadly, I'm

148
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: going to refer back to this clip, going to play

149
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 1: it again because the prediction I'm about to make is

150
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: going to come true, and it's going to be much

151
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: worse than people imagine it to be. The level of

152
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: racial antagonism race, fating, cruelty, disgusting filth that is going

153
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: to come out of Trump's mouth, out of JD. Van

154
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: His mouth, out of Stephen Chung's mouth, out of the

155
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: mouths of his surrogates, his retainers, his loyalists, his band

156
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: of mtgs is going to be mind blower. As bad

157
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: as you think it is, it will be worse. The

158
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: attacks will be direct, they will be overt, They will

159
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: be dehumanizing, degrading, insulting, and they will harken back to

160
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,719
Speaker 1: some of the worst chapters in this country's history. And

161
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: so what Trump is doing here is yes, stupid, but

162
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: it is profoundly disrespectful and demeaning. Kamala Harris is the

163
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: Vice President of the United States of America. Her father

164
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 1: was Jamaican who came to the United States. Her mother

165
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 1: of Indians dissent in America. Kamala Harris is regarded thought

166
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: of treated as black like every other American similarly situated period.

167
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: She's black, but Donald Trump is trying to take something

168
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 1: from her an identity, twist it and shove a knife in,

169
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: trying to claim as somebody who earned nothing in his

170
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: life that somebody who did in fact did not because

171
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: she was a beneficiary of preferential treatment because of her race,

172
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: which she used conveniently only recently that she long denied.

173
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: It is an elaborate Trumpian smear grade, a neurotoxic bullshit.

174
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: It's disgusting, and the American people are rejecting. The good

175
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: news is it's so fucking boring. There's not a word

176
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: for it anymore except for maybe Trump. The oldest, most

177
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: boring act in town. Our fading pale as a cadaver,

178
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: norma Desmond resident, norma Desmond.

179
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 2: That's who Trump is.

180
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: He cannot stand to see the power of optimism, the

181
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: literal pollo rocket firing, lighting up the sky, illuminating Kamala

182
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: Harris's crowds bigger than his enthusiastic and coming to end

183
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 1: his political career in just a little bit.

184
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 4: You have not had a public campaign event for nearly

185
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 4: a week now. Tomorrow you'll be in Montana, which is

186
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 4: not a swing state. Some of your allies have expressed

187
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 4: concern that you're not taking this race seriously, particularly out

188
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 4: of content where there is enthusiasm on the other side.

189
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 4: Why haven't you been campaigning this week?

190
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 3: Because I'm leading by a lot, and because I'm letting

191
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 3: their convention go through.

192
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 2: Look at the polls.

193
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is a fading star and this is a

194
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: great Norman Desmond moment. My ratings, my ratings, I'm winning,

195
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: I'm winning. I'm number one in the box office. Except

196
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: it's all imaginary. The only place this is real is

197
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: on the deck at mar Lago. And if you have

198
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: a million dollars and want to be regaled by tales

199
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: like this for the rest of your natural life, if

200
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: you want to put a bandage on your ear and

201
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: sit gazing at this face with a million bucks and

202
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: probably price will go down in coming years, you can

203
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: achieve this.

204
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 2: You can join.

205
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: Mar Lago and the mad, mad, mad mad King will

206
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: hold court there down for the next twenty five to

207
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: thirty years, living to a right bold age of one

208
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: hundred and fifteen. But his era of being able to

209
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: mainline malice into the bloodstream of the country is mercifully

210
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: coming to an end, because history, once again almost improbably

211
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: has anointed Americans who can get the job done. When

212
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: Trump was winning a month ago, was he talking.

213
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 2: About any of this crazy shit? He was not.

214
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is losing, and he's losing badly. Now this

215
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: is all before the Democratic National Convention. If the election

216
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: were today, Kamala Harris would be President elect of the

217
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: United States by midnight. But it's not today. Donald Trump

218
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: should know. John McCain's favorite quote of Chairman Mouse, apocryphal

219
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: or not, was to remember, it's always darkest before it's

220
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: completely black. Now, Donald Trump impunes the motives of everyone

221
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: and everything that resists his claim on absolute power, which

222
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: some amount of Americans have been dumb enough or naive enough,

223
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: or malice enough or apathetic enough to fall for. We

224
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: should love our fellow citizens, but we should maintain our

225
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: judgment about people who would bandage their ears and stare

226
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: gauzy eyed, dewey eyed at a rapist, which is what

227
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: Trump is.

228
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 2: Non judgmentalism.

229
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: The cardinal rules of mind your own business do not

230
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: mean tolerance for the most despicable characters in the country

231
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: who want political power, preaching a dogma of command and

232
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: control over every single facet of your life. As Donald

233
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: Trump loses, everything will get worse.

234
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 2: That comes out of his mouth.

235
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: Each will be a piece of evidence about how much

236
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: worse he is than even the most pessimistic amongst us thought.

237
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: It will build, and it will build, and it will

238
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: build the racism, the menace, the intimations of violence. Right

239
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: wing thuggery of the type we're seeing in the UK

240
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: is coming to the United States.

241
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 2: Have no doubts about it.

242
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: And it will have been caused as it was caused,

243
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: and it will be caused by a singular figure.

244
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 2: The demagogic despot.

245
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: Wanta be Donald John Trump, and he will light the

246
00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: fuse that he has carefully laid as he loses an election,

247
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: and he makes allegations like Nicholas Maduro in Venezuela, like

248
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: a tinpot dictator, like a dime store Mussolini, that he

249
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:16,199
Speaker 1: makes allegations again that he won an election that he

250
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: lost absent evidence, and this time there will be no

251
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 1: possibility of a comeback. The stakes will be higher and

252
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: more existential. It will all be on the line. And

253
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,479
Speaker 1: so here we are. Kamala Harris is surgeon. Donald Trump

254
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 1: is losing, and because he is losing, he is decomposing.

255
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: Because he is decomposing, he is getting crazier. Because he

256
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: is getting crazier, he is getting more menacing. And because

257
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: he is getting more menacing, the threats and intimations to

258
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: violence will grow from his most unhinged supporters and they

259
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: will find their mark. Put a joke that there were

260
00:17:53,800 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: people standing on television sets talking about new Trump, gentle Trump,

261
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 1: spiritual Trump in the aftermath of the assassination, Trump reborn.

262
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:11,760
