WEBVTT - Trump Endorses Violence Against Immigrants At Latest Rally 0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:03.720 It is the twenty fourth of October. Twelve days remain. 0:00:04.120 --> 0:00:09.440 This is the warning. Already seventeen million Americans have voted 0:00:09.680 --> 0:00:13.920 on election Day. Somewhere out there, the last American will 0:00:14.000 --> 0:00:17.400 cast the last vote of the election, and when they do, 0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:22.200 the total number will exceed one hundred and sixty million 0:00:22.280 --> 0:00:25.919 votes cast for President of the United States. In the 0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:29.280 late nineteen sixties, on the edge of an era of 0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:34.159 turmoil and turbulence, the banned Buffalo Springfield saying there's something 0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:37.919 happening here and what it is ain't exactly clear. And 0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:40.720 she did not evade it, She did not dodge it. 0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:46.040 She called Donald Trump out for what he is, what 0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:50.479 he has become, what his MAGA movement is, and what 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:53.000 his Maga movement has become. 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:57.000 You've quoted General Millie calling Donald Trump a fascist, You 0:00:57.080 --> 0:00:59.480 yourself have not used that word to describe him. 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:01.880 Let me ask you tonight, do you think Donald Trump 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:02.640 is a fascist? 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:02.880 Yes? 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:07.840 I do, Yes, I do, And I also believe that 0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:10.720 the people who know him best on this subject should 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:15.280 be trusted. Again, look at their careers. These are not 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:19.120 people with the exception I think of only Mike Pence. 0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:23.160 These were not politicians. These are career people who have 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:27.560 served in the highest roles in national security, who have 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:32.080 served as generals in our military, who are highly respected. 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:37.400 Talking about the person who would be commander in chief. 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:42.440 Donald Trump is a fascist. What is fascism? How does 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:46.800 it differ from democracy? Well, at its core, these are 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:52.920 oppositional political philosophies. Democracies aren't perfect, but they have a 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:57.960 perfect understanding about the dignity of the human being, which 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:02.640 they place at the center of system. Democracies are the 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:06.760 only form of government that has ever been that place 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:12.000 the individual human being above the power of the state. 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:18.920 Fascism has the absolute opposite viewpoint. What they believe in 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:24.080 is a natural social hierarchy, like the animal kingdom. Some 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:28.560 animals are predators, some are prey, some are weak, and 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:33.120 some are strong. In this world, the strong dominate the 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:36.520 weak because it's the natural order of things, and the 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:40.960 individual is a cop in the machinery of the state. 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:45.519 The collective and the service of it is the definition 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:51.160 of freedom. In this warped and perverse model, nationalism the 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:57.880 virulent idea that militarism, that force, that strength, that violence 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:01.280 are the key to the found of a state and 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:06.120 a coherent society. All of this is madness, but it's 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:10.560 very real. It's identifiable, it's tangible, and it's not new, 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:15.440 though it seemed extinct for a long, long while, because 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:22.040 this philosophy has killed more people than any other political 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:28.040 philosophy except for communism, which is its close competitor. More 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:33.399 than a hundred million people died because of fascism by 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:37.680 the midpoint of the twentieth century. What is maga? What 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:42.800 is trump Ism? It's this, We just have to cross 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:50.320 out the dates. It is the same proposition. Listen to 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:51.840 what Trump is saying. 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:56.280 We had to go back to seventeen ninety eight, that's 0:03:56.320 --> 0:04:01.560 when we had laws that were effective seventeen ninety eight. 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:04.080 We had to go back to And if. 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:07.760 They come back into our country, it's an automatic ten 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:12.000 years in jail with no possibility or parole, automatic if 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:17.320 they come back into our house. And I'm here by 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:20.880 calling for the death penalty for any migrant that kills 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:25.200 an American citizen or a law enforcement officer. 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:31.760 Listen to what his pop propagandists are saying. 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:36.320 If they go out of their way to crush families, 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:39.320 to make it impossible for your kids to buy a 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:43.880 house in getting involved in the sex lives of your children, 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:49.120 which they are. If they do all of that, they 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:51.919 need to lose. And at the end of all of it, 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:55.880 when they tell you they've won noe, you can look 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.919 them straight in the face and say, I'm sorry. Dad's 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:04.400 home and he's Can you hear the darkness the threats? 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:09.400 Look at this crowd of young people. They are cheering 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:15.120 for madness. They're cheering for a lie, for the proposition 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:19.839 that if you turn over liberty, and you turn over 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:25.920 freedom to strength and force, that all of your problems 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:30.080 can be swept away under the wise hand of the 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:35.000 strong leader, who is wise and never wrong. What you're 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:39.599 seeing is a cult of personality. All cults of personality 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:45.680 cheer madness, cheer incoherence because they're not cheering what the 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:50.920 leader says. They're cheering the leader no matter what he says. 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:54.840 It's a most dangerous moment we've arrived at in the 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:58.200 life of the United States. We are in the life 0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:01.800 of a nation. We are in the crowded hours. This 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:06.680 is not a time of stillwater, but rather raging rapids. 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:12.760 A great proposition is laid before us. A political party 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:17.359 is asking to be invested with power that no American 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:21.440 political party has ever asked for. Donald Trump has promised 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:25.760 he will throw out the Constitution of the United States 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:31.560 of America. Don't worry about how, don't believe that it's impossible. 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:36.200 Focus on the intention he wants to and he will 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:41.520 not have restraints in a second term. He's threatened violence, mayhem. 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:46.800 He talks about our fellow Americans as our enemies. He's 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:51.600 incited an insurrection against the peaceful transition of power. He 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:55.239 doesn't believe in elections. He doesn't believe in free speech. 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:58.440 He doesn't believe in the freedom of conscience. He doesn't 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:02.320 believe that it's appropriate for the most powerful person in 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:06.120 the country to be criticized by the lesser people. He 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:09.520 believes in the power of putin, in the power of 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:14.680 g He believes in systems where strength is manifested by 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:18.400 the leader's will to make things happen through an order. 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:22.560 He's a dictator. It's why he fetishizes them. There's never 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:27.200 been anybody ever who has said more Unamerican things than 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:30.160 Donald Trump, and what he's saying at the close of 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:34.280 an election is a radical departure from anything anyone has 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:36.440 ever said at the close of an election. Here's what 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:37.679 Jimmy Carter was saying. 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:40.880 I hope you don't mind about don't make a lungs Paige, 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:45.880 I need you need mine who together with let's ta God, 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:47.240 you make it you once again. 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:50.680 Okay, here's what Reagan was saying. 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:54.520 At this very moment, some young American coming up along 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.960 the Virginia or Maryland shores of the Potomac, you're seeing 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:00.880 for the first time the lights glow in the great 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:04.320 halls of our government and the monuments to the memory 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:09.240 of our great men. Let us resolve tonight that young 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:13.480 Americans will always see those Potomac lights, that they will 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:17.080 always find there a city of hope in a country 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:21.160 that is free. And let us resolve they will say 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:24.760 of our day and of our generation, that we did 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:28.240 keep faith with our God, that we did act worthy 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:32.120 of ourselves, that we did protect and pass on lovingly 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:35.920 that shining city on a heel. 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:38.240 Here's what al Gore was saying. 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:42.160 According to our constitution, there's one day that comes around 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:47.080 every four years when you have the power, and the 0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:51.359 special interests tremble at the thought that you will penetrate 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:55.680 the veil, lift the smoke screen. See clearly the interests 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:57.760 of your loved ones and your families. 0:08:57.920 --> 0:08:59.480 That day is tomorrow. 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:02.480 And need your vote and I need your support. 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:04.440 There's what Clinton was saying. 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.240 If you vote for Bill Clinton and Al Gore, there'll 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:09.240 be a lot of nights We worked till ten o'clock 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:13.280 looking into your problems, your promise, you're a future, You're America. 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:15.600 Billy people up, not tearing them about. 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:17.800 Here's what Trump is saying. 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:21.520 They're taking over Times Square in New York, and they 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:24.280 have weapons that our military doesn't even have. You say, 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:26.840 where the hell are they getting the weapons? But we 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.920 have guys that want to confront them, and they're going 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.040 to be allowed to confront them, and we're going to 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:33.240 get them the hell out of here. 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:38.800 The American people are strong and defiant, and this is 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:42.800 a moment to appreciate that Donald Trump and his movement 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:46.720 of extremists are trying to take something from all of 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:50.840 us that doesn't belong to them. It's not theirs to 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:54.600 take because what they're trying to steal is God given. 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:59.360 It's our rights as Americans. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:03.600 freedom of these things are not for sale. These things 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:08.200 are not Donald Trump's to take. Ortigrant they were purchased 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:12.199 a long, long time ago with the blood of patriots, 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:15.680 the blood of our ancestors. And what they gave us 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:20.079 is our trust to hold, to preserve, and to strengthen 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:23.960 for our children. And so now we stand, in these 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:29.760 crowded hours, twelve days out, a monumental question on the table. 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:36.160 Who's hands do we place the baton that continues the 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:40.800 story of America? That hands it to another leader that 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:45.280 has the qualities perhaps of goodness and greatness that were 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:49.240 once ascribed to Abraham Lincoln. There's no possibility that that 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:52.800 person could be Donald Trump, the most vile man to 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:57.280 ever reach for power in American history. Kamala Harris, the 0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:02.000 Vice President of the United States, is the person singularly 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:06.480 who stands between you and a fascist as the chief 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:10.720 executive of the American government, commander in chief of the 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:15.280 most powerful military in the world. The standard, the only one, 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:18.480 the only one that matters is Kamala Harris is for 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:22.200 your freedom and Donald Trump is for his power. This 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:26.960 is the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning, 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:30.439 and I invite you to join.
