WEBVTT - Trump Calls America A "Garbage Can"

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:02.720
<v Speaker 1>It is the twenty fifth of October, and there are

0:00:02.880 --> 0:00:06.880
<v Speaker 1>eleven days left until the American people, more than one

0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:10.440
<v Speaker 1>hundred and sixty million of us, will vote. We will

0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:13.800
<v Speaker 1>choose the forty seventh President of the United States in

0:00:13.840 --> 0:00:19.119
<v Speaker 1>an election that has become existential. This is the warning.

0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:25.600
<v Speaker 1>It's existential because this time there are not two candidates

0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 1>of two parties competing over a different vision of a

0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:34.800
<v Speaker 1>shared goal to make the union stronger. This time one

0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:39.040
<v Speaker 1>of the candidates is a liar, is a demagogue, is

0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:43.800
<v Speaker 1>a fascist who disdains the American way of life, the

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:50.360
<v Speaker 1>cornerstone of our civilization. And yes, it is a unique civilization,

0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 1>the only one in the history of the world, made

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:55.320
<v Speaker 1>up of all of the peoples of the world, a

0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:59.960
<v Speaker 1>country built on an idea, not blood in soil nationalism.

0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:05.080
<v Speaker 1>The idea is about liberty, about the individual, the notion

0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:10.480
<v Speaker 1>that we are all endowed by a creator not named,

0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:15.840
<v Speaker 1>a creator with certain inalienable rights that can't be taken

0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:20.640
<v Speaker 1>away and are not man's, not a king's, not an emperor's,

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:25.840
<v Speaker 1>not trumps to grant. They are life, liberty, and the

0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:31.600
<v Speaker 1>pursuit of happiness. What this requires is freedom and liberty.

0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:35.280
<v Speaker 1>I've said often in my writing and on these videos

0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:39.520
<v Speaker 1>that without freedom, there is no rock and roll. Bruce

0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:44.640
<v Speaker 1>Springsteen understands this. Let's listen to him and listen carefully

0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:49.960
<v Speaker 1>because what he says is very important. Note the distinction

0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 1>what he supports yet also what he opposes. Today, I'm

0:01:56.480 --> 0:02:02.960
<v Speaker 1>going to talk about opposition defiant because these values, that

0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:09.040
<v Speaker 1>spirit attached to fierceness is elemental in the national character.

0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:12.360
<v Speaker 1>But over to the pride of New Jersey the Boss.

0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:16.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm Bruce Brinksteen, and I am here today to support

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:20.600
<v Speaker 2>Mala Harris and Tim Walltz for President and Vice President

0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 2>of the United States, and to oppose to oppose Donald

0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Trump and j D. Vance. Now here's why. I want

0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:41.880
<v Speaker 2>a president who revers the Constitution, who does not threaten,

0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:46.839
<v Speaker 2>but wants to protect and guide our great democracy, who

0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 2>believes in the rule of law and the peaceful transfer

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:56.560
<v Speaker 2>of power, who will fight for a woman's right to choose,

0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:02.160
<v Speaker 2>and who wants to create a middle class economy that

0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:05.720
<v Speaker 2>will serve all our citizens. There is only one kendidate

0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:11.799
<v Speaker 2>in this election who holds those principles, Dear Malaris.

0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:16.440
<v Speaker 1>A president takes the only oath that's written into the

0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:20.760
<v Speaker 1>US Constitution. It's thirty five words long, and it's been

0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:26.120
<v Speaker 1>sworn by every president. Washington took it, John Adams took it,

0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Thomas Jefferson took it, Abraham Lincoln took it. All took

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:39.360
<v Speaker 1>the same oath. I do solemnly swear to preserve, protect,

0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:45.120
<v Speaker 1>and defend the Constitution of the United States of America

0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:49.040
<v Speaker 1>to the best of my ability. So help me, God

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:54.240
<v Speaker 1>is the money line. It was this man who desecrated it.

0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:58.880
<v Speaker 1>He refused to accept the results of a free and

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:04.520
<v Speaker 1>fair election that he lost. Instead, he incited violence. He

0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:09.360
<v Speaker 1>sent a mob to attack our government of the people,

0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:12.880
<v Speaker 1>by the people, for the people. He tried to take

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:16.920
<v Speaker 1>that from us for himself. Donald Trump tried to anoint

0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:22.240
<v Speaker 1>himself dictator. Listen to his malice. It's not new. It

0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:24.280
<v Speaker 1>goes all the way back to the beginning.

0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:28.920
<v Speaker 3>They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're

0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:33.760
<v Speaker 3>bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime,

0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:37.800
<v Speaker 3>their rapists, and some I assume are good people.

0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:42.840
<v Speaker 1>He is a man who sat in the Oval Office

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:49.960
<v Speaker 1>and asked when black Americans, yes, black Americans, were peacefully

0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:53.600
<v Speaker 1>protesting in front of the White House, whether the military

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:56.960
<v Speaker 1>could shoot them. The restraint he showed was this, he

0:04:57.080 --> 0:05:01.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to shoot to kill, just to mame. This

0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:06.440
<v Speaker 1>is a man who believes Adolph Hitler did some good things.

0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:10.919
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump admires this man. It's sick. He's a fascist,

0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:15.440
<v Speaker 1>and we will see in these final eleven days him

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:20.239
<v Speaker 1>fully bear his fangs. Donald Trump is a man of menace.

0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:25.479
<v Speaker 1>He's a divider, spewing hate wherever he goes, and the

0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:29.520
<v Speaker 1>crowds cheer. They look big on the television because all

0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:34.560
<v Speaker 1>you see is Donald Trump standing supreme in front of

0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:39.000
<v Speaker 1>a cult that cheers and worships every insanity, in every

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:43.720
<v Speaker 1>incoherent utterance. It doesn't matter. But that's a mirage. It's

0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:46.920
<v Speaker 1>not real. This is a giant nation of three hundred

0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:51.080
<v Speaker 1>and forty million people. In fact, almost half of all

0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Americans who have ever lived since the beginning of the

0:05:55.160 --> 0:06:00.080
<v Speaker 1>Declaration of Independence are alive. Right now, are we going

0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:05.000
<v Speaker 1>to cashshier American liberty? Are we going to put into

0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:10.440
<v Speaker 1>the trash can? American freedom? Donald Trump smears the United

0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:14.239
<v Speaker 1>States every chance he gets here. He is yesterday calling

0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:15.520
<v Speaker 1>it a garbage.

0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:18.840
<v Speaker 4>Can, right, and we're a dumping ground. Were like a

0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:23.880
<v Speaker 4>garbage can. For the world. That's what's happened. That's what's happened.

0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:28.920
<v Speaker 4>Were like a garbage can. You know, it's the first

0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:32.440
<v Speaker 4>time I've ever said that, And every time I come

0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:34.479
<v Speaker 4>up and talk about what they've done to a country,

0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:37.720
<v Speaker 4>I get angry and angry. First time I've ever said

0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:40.680
<v Speaker 4>garbage can. But you know what, it's a very accurate description.

0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:45.520
<v Speaker 1>Here's a question. Donald's not that bright, but even he

0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:49.760
<v Speaker 1>might have given himself some pause by pondering the obvious.

0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:52.719
<v Speaker 1>If we're such a garbage can, why do so many

0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:55.919
<v Speaker 1>people from around the world want to come here? And

0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:59.400
<v Speaker 1>the answer to that question is there's no place like

0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:03.000
<v Speaker 1>it on Earth. There is no place with more opportunity.

0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:07.359
<v Speaker 1>There is no place where, in one generation's time, the

0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:10.480
<v Speaker 1>child of an immigrant can become the president of the

0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:15.560
<v Speaker 1>United States. Somewhere in America today, every language known to

0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:19.160
<v Speaker 1>man will be spoken somewhere in our country. It's what

0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:24.920
<v Speaker 1>makes us strong, not weak. Together in this experiment where

0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:29.960
<v Speaker 1>freedom has expanded to include everybody where, we now understand

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:33.360
<v Speaker 1>that it is the content of character, not the pigment

0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:37.640
<v Speaker 1>of skin color, that ought to determine destiny this country,

0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:42.679
<v Speaker 1>our country, the United States, our ancestors. Americans have fed

0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:47.240
<v Speaker 1>more people, cured more people, liberated more people than the

0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:51.520
<v Speaker 1>peoples of every other nation put together since the beginning

0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:58.120
<v Speaker 1>of time. We Americans stand for an idea. It's luminescent.

0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:02.680
<v Speaker 1>We reject the idea of kings and emperors and dictators,

0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:06.640
<v Speaker 1>the notion that power flows from the top down, that

0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:11.760
<v Speaker 1>the sprinklings the tastes of freedom that are granted by

0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:15.520
<v Speaker 1>a king are no such thing, because freedom is not

0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:19.360
<v Speaker 1>his to give nor his to take. This is the

0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:25.600
<v Speaker 1>essence of Americanism. We the people in order to form

0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:29.920
<v Speaker 1>a more perfect union. So it's not enough to vote

0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:34.360
<v Speaker 1>for Vice President Harris and to affirm her as commander

0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:38.640
<v Speaker 1>in chief. This is a moment that requires defiance and

0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:45.600
<v Speaker 1>fierce opposition. I rise in opposition to Donald Trump because

0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:49.560
<v Speaker 1>I reject his assault on the freedom of speech. I

0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:53.599
<v Speaker 1>reject his assault on dissent and the freedom of conscience.

0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I find his threats of punishment and retribution to be

0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:03.080
<v Speaker 1>morally repugnant and deeply un American. I will oppose his

0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:08.240
<v Speaker 1>malice and his cruelty, and his misogyny and his racism,

0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:14.560
<v Speaker 1>and I will oppose his disgusting character. This man is

0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:19.200
<v Speaker 1>an adjudicated rapist, and we propose to allow him to

0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:23.160
<v Speaker 1>stand behind the seal of the President of the United

0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:27.080
<v Speaker 1>States of America, flanked by the flag of our nation

0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:30.640
<v Speaker 1>and the flag of the President of the United States.

0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:36.880
<v Speaker 1>It is sick, it is perverted, it is indecent, and

0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:41.440
<v Speaker 1>it is unworthy. We have gotten here to this muddy,

0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:47.120
<v Speaker 1>disgusting river, polluted by MAGA and polluted by trump Ism,

0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:49.920
<v Speaker 1>because there was a lot of dumping of a lot

0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:54.160
<v Speaker 1>of acid into the waters by America's corrupted and broken

0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:58.520
<v Speaker 1>news media who covered Donald Trump as a ring master,

0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:02.319
<v Speaker 1>not a fascist threat, who covered him as a clown

0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:06.679
<v Speaker 1>but not a toxic one. This moment has arrived because

0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:10.440
<v Speaker 1>there's more derelictions than can be counted. There are more

0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:16.280
<v Speaker 1>evasions of responsibility that can be listed. This is a

0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:22.160
<v Speaker 1>moment for every American to appreciate what loyalty we owe.

0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:25.959
<v Speaker 1>We owe not to the letter of a political party

0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:29.280
<v Speaker 1>next to the name onto the ballot, but to an

0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:35.120
<v Speaker 1>idea paid in blood, refreshed in blood, and passed down

0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.720
<v Speaker 1>to us so that it may be preserved for the

0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:42.640
<v Speaker 1>next generation, and the one after that and the one

0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:49.400
<v Speaker 1>after that. Donald Trump is unfit and a spectacular, historic,

0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:56.880
<v Speaker 1>fundamental way. He worships Hitler, not the Constitution. He celebrates violence,

0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:02.720
<v Speaker 1>not unity. He pushes divisions like a junkie receives heroin

0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:08.240
<v Speaker 1>from their pusher. This vile man must not win. And

0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:13.360
<v Speaker 1>that requires two things. A vote for something better, which

0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:18.439
<v Speaker 1>Kamala Harris has offered, and a strong vote that says, never,

0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:23.559
<v Speaker 1>never again, never ever will a man like Donald Trump

0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:29.040
<v Speaker 1>be the president. Not with my vote, not with my efforts.

0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:33.000
<v Speaker 1>This is a moment that requires action, requires you to

0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:37.600
<v Speaker 1>do something. Donald Trump is exactly what he appears to be,

0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:41.320
<v Speaker 1>which is a grave danger to you, to your friends,

0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:44.720
<v Speaker 1>to your children, to your loved ones, to your community,

0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:47.800
<v Speaker 1>to your state, to your nation, and to your way

0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:50.560
<v Speaker 1>of life. He's made it clear, can you hear him?

0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:53.360
<v Speaker 4>And until we get a fair and free press of

0:11:53.440 --> 0:12:03.719
<v Speaker 4>this country. They just bad people. I mean, look, how

0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:06.960
<v Speaker 4>easy here you have. All they have to do is

0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:12.120
<v Speaker 4>just go huh huh, one inch this way and one

0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:13.640
<v Speaker 4>in is this way, and you got it.

0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:21.280
<v Speaker 2>They don't want to do that. They're the enemy of

0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:21.760
<v Speaker 2>the people.

0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:22.559
<v Speaker 4>They are.

0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Let's make the smart choice. Let's make the right choice.

0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Let's make the moral choice. Let's make the American choice

0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Kamala Harris for President of the United States of America.

0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:40.199
