1 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: Every American who cares about their freedom and their liberty 2 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 1: and is worried about the catastrophe of Donald Trump returning 3 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: to office needs to take an hour out of their day, 4 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 1: sit down and watch Donald Trump's Fox Town Hall appearance. 5 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 1: It was simultaneously ludicrous but captivating. It is dangerous to 6 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: underestimate this man. Donald Trump spewed lies and made nonsensical 7 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: statements and never, not once, was there any pushback from 8 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: either brettbear or Martha McCollum. This is what state television 9 00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: looks like. I think it's important to understand. Many people 10 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: have talked about the fact that if Trump should be 11 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:08,119 Speaker 1: elected president in November, sometime on January twentieth, the lights 12 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: will go out. That's not true. There will still be television, 13 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: but the news increasingly will look like the farce that 14 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: played out on Fox News last night. The countenance and 15 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: bearing of both Brett Baar and Martha McCollum was ludicrous, 16 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: utterly so. Notice when they asked him about election fraud 17 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: or about January sixth. How the questions are couched. They 18 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 1: are not presented as fact. But Democrats say some say 19 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: they allow Trump the whole he needs to run through 20 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: with his nonsense. Last night, Donald Trump said the stock 21 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: market is so high because well, he's beating Joe Biden. 22 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: He denied, saying he hopes for an economic crash, and 23 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: then in the next breath he said there would be 24 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: one if he loses. He said that twenty five percent 25 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: of the stock market's gains are because of him. This 26 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: is all nonsense, But understand this, His bluster and his 27 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: nonsense works with an ignorant population of Americans who don't read, 28 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: who are ill informed. There was a remarkable scene in 29 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: the town hall where Donald Trump talks about rounding up 30 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,799 Speaker 1: millions of people. He says, we have to do it. 31 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: There's no talk about the practicalities of that, the cost 32 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: of that, and specifically the moral cost. But watching Donald 33 00:02:54,360 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: Trump talk about concentration camps and mass deportation centers in 34 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: front of a cheering, all white Iowa crowd was terrifying. 35 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: It does bear mentioning that Charles Lindberg, who is his 36 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: spiritual father, he too, came to Des Moines in nineteen 37 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,959 Speaker 1: forty to make a speech blaming the Jews for World 38 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: War two. Commentators at the time labeled it the most 39 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: un American speech that had ever been given, and it 40 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: was until Donald Trump started talking about revenge, retribution and vengeance, 41 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: which his handlers had him deny. Last night, Trump said 42 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: he'd be too busy for retribution now because the whole 43 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: country once again would be winning again. Doesn't it sound 44 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: familiar to you? Do you remember in twenty and fifteen, 45 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, when he said we'd be winning so much? 46 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: Do you remember what winning looked like? Do you remember 47 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: the chaos of COVID? Do you remember a million dead Americans? 48 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: Hundreds of thousands who died unnecessarily under the bearing and 49 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: weight of his incompetence. Understand this about the war in 50 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: Ukraine and Russia. And Applebaum, the distinguished scholar, pointed this 51 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,799 Speaker 1: out the other day on the Warning podcast. Vladimir Putin 52 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: won't stop fighting until he is convinced he has reached 53 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: his maximum point of success. He's not ready to stop 54 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: now because he believes his hands is about to improve. 55 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: He'll keep fighting for another year because of Donald Trump. 56 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: He knows if Trump comes back into power, he will 57 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: allow Putin to operate with a freehand in Ukraine and 58 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: in Europe. The terror will spread, the flames will spread, 59 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: and there will be a war, the likes of which 60 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: there has not been on the European continent for eighty years, 61 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: and it will be Donald Trump's fault. One amazing aspect 62 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: of the evening was when Donald Trump talked about the 63 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: fact that oil was forty dollars a barrel when he 64 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 1: was president, and now that it's so much higher, the 65 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: Iranians and Russians are flushed with money. The oil markets 66 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: collapse when Donald Trump was president because of COVID, not 67 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: because of Trump's policies. Trump's policies added eight trillion dollars 68 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: to the national debt and weakened the country spiritually, morally, economically. 69 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: He has pitted the American people against one another. There's 70 00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: a monument in Washington, DC that is more beautiful than 71 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: all of the others. It is the Lincoln Memorial, And 72 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: when it was dedicated, President Harding talked about the fact 73 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: it was not for those assembled on that day, nor 74 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: was it even a tribute to those who had sacrificed 75 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 1: to emancipate the slaves and to give America a new 76 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: birth of freedom. The monument, he said, was for us. 77 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: It was a symbol of warning the costs of division, 78 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: the price of civil war and the greatness of the 79 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: leader who would get us through it and bind up 80 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: the wounds of the nation. The Lincoln memorial sits there today, 81 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: the marble statue of Lincoln staring out for eternity over 82 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: the Washington d C Mall, looking back towards the Capitol 83 00:06:54,760 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: where Trump's forces ransacked, desecrated, and attacked January sixth, when 84 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: they assaulted the peaceful transition of power. Last night's event 85 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: on Fox News demonstrates how thin the line is between 86 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: truth and lies, and how well produced a lie can be. 87 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: It is said that one of the takeaways from the 88 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: collapse of the Soviet Union at the end of the 89 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: Cold War for Vladimir Putin was that Russian television would 90 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: never be boring again. Russians are great at propaganda, and 91 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: the people that are incessantly played on Russian state television 92 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: are Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Green and Lauren Bobert 93 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: and Donald Trump. Do you think that Vladimir Putin is 94 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: on your side or on the side of the American people? 95 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: Do you think President and she is? But both of 96 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: those men want Trump because they know that Trump, too 97 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: is not on the side of the American people. What 98 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: America's enemies have always dreamed about is a transactional American 99 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: president who didn't care about the Constitution, didn't care about 100 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: the ideas of the country. They found him and Donald Trump, 101 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: and of course over on CNN there was Ron DeSantis 102 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: and Nikki Haley. Incredibly, before the debate ended, the woman 103 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: that many media commentators say is the person who can 104 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: beat Trump said this, States Rights Now? Did you hear it? 105 00:08:55,200 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: Did you see it? States Rights Now? I'm going to 106 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: show you some pictures, some images of the States Rights 107 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: Now message, which isn't new. It was the message of 108 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: strom Thurmond, like Nikki Haley from South Carolina in nineteen 109 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: forty eight, when he ran on the segregationist ticket of 110 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: the Dixiecraft Party. States Rights Now, Well, that was the 111 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: cry of George Wallace, and it was the cry of 112 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: the men and women who spit a black school children 113 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: and spit on the black men carrying signs that said 114 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: I am a man. The Republican Party in this modern, rantid, 115 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: disgusting incarnation was on full display last night the runner 116 00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:00,079 Speaker 1: up debate played out on CNN. It was a rating 117 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: spectacle for a low rated network. No one cares and 118 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: no one watched. And in the end, just as Chris 119 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: Christie said, Nikki Haley will be rolled over by Donald Trump. 120 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: The last truth teller in the Republican Party was Chris 121 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: Christie and he's out of the race. But before he left, 122 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: Chris Christy was caught on a hot mic, and something 123 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: incredible happened, probably for the first time in a long time, 124 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 1: an American politician said exactly what he was saying on air. 125 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: Off air, Chris Christie said on the hot mic, exactly 126 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: what he said when the green light on the camera 127 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: flashes on in the studio. Most of America's politicians don't 128 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: do that, and the American people are constantly deceived, gas lit, 129 00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: and confused. As a result, the twenty twenty four race 130 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: is shaping up. In twenty twenty two, I said a 131 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: contest between Joe Biden and Donald Trump would be a 132 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: national catastrophe. In twenty twenty four, it is a national catastrophe. 133 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: It's a national catastrophe because it means President Biden did 134 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: not extinguish the extrememist movement during his first three years 135 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: in office. It exists a persis, and now it's on 136 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: its way to a comeback. This movement is a fascist 137 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: movement and it must be defeated by the American people 138 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: in a broad political coalition. The election is just over 139 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 1: ten months away. There is much work to be done. 140 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: Should Donald Trump be the President of the United States, 141 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: national catastrophe will follow. And anybody who watched Fox News 142 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: last night, who knows a lick of history, knows anything 143 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: about the twentieth century, should be able to see it 144 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: coming from miles and miles and miles away.
