1
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: There is one thing in early January that is absolutely

2
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: perfectly crystal clear, and it's this, the White House must

3
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: abandon its Rose Garden strategy. It has failed. It's failing

4
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: the country, and it's failing President Biden. The strategy of

5
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: the Biden campaign is simple. It's this give them hell job.

6
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what the President did this week at

7
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 1: Valley Forge and Mother Emmanuel Ame Church in Charleston, South Carolina.

8
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 1: Joe Biden has laid out the stakes.

9
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 2: That's why tell me again they lost in every court

10
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 2: of law. That challenge results sixty losses in the courts

11
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 2: of America. There's one thing they don't have. They don't

12
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 2: have respect for the eighty one million people who voted

13
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 2: the other way, voted for Mike Candidcy and voted to

14
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: end the presidency. In their world, these Americans, including you,

15
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 2: don't count. But that's not the real world, that's not democracy,

16
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 2: that's not America. In America, we all count. In America,

17
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 2: we witness to serve all those who in fact participate,

18
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 2: and losers are taught to concede when they lose.

19
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: And he's a loser, and let's watch him take the

20
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: fight to the Maga extremist cause from Valley Forge.

21
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,199
Speaker 2: When the attack on January sixth happened, there was no

22
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 2: doubt about the truth. At the time, even Republican members

23
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: of Congress and Fox News commentators publicly and privately condemned

24
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 2: the attack, as one Republican senator said, Trump's behavior was

25
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 2: embarrassing in you for the country. But now that same

26
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 2: senator and those same people have changed their tune. As

27
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: time has gone gone on politics, fear, money all have intervened.

28
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 2: And now these Maga voices who know the truth about

29
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 2: Trump on January sixth have abandoned the truth and abandoned

30
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: the democracy. They made their choice. Now the rest of

31
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: US Democrats, Independents, mainstream Republicans, we have to make our choice.

32
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 2: I know mine, and I believe I know Americas will

33
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: defend the truth, not giving into the big lie. We'll

34
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: embrace the Constitution of the Declaration, not abandoned it.

35
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: He is exactly right. They are trying to steal history,

36
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: and they've done it before successfully. At the beginning of

37
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: the twentieth century, Ulysses S. Grant was an American hero

38
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: on peer with George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Thirty years

39
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: later a generation later, he was all but forgotten. In fact,

40
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: the military genius who won the Civil War was regarded

41
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: in the culture as a butcher, a drunk, and a

42
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: corrupt president. He was none of those things. He was

43
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: one of the greatest figures in the entire American story.

44
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: But somehow the lost caused myth a lie made Robert E.

45
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: Lee a genius and a hero, and posited the slaver

46
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: a cruel master, as a more honorable man than Ulysses Grant,

47
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: whose perseverance and fortitude or a lesson for every human

48
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: being everywhere. When he passed in eighteen eighty five, he

49
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: was the most famous man on earth. Today he is

50
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: not well remembered. What President Biden is old enough to

51
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: understand is what and who the Maga extremist cause is.

52
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 1: This is an asset in the election. The political question

53
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: at hand is where is President Biden going next. He

54
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: should go to Yorktown, and to Jamestown and to Gettysburg.

55
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: He should go to Saratoga, and he should go to

56
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: Tykwonderoga and to Bunker Hill. And he should stand on

57
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: the bridge at Conquered where the shot heard around the

58
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: world was fired. The President should travel to every corner

59
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: of this country and tell the American people our story,

60
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: the good, the bad, the ugly, the lessons that we

61
00:04:54,120 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: must learn. The United States of America is unique. There

62
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: is no country like it. We are a nation founded

63
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: on the power of an idea, and that idea is

64
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: the fruition of thousands of years of human evolution. The

65
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: idea of America is the idea that is built upon

66
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: in the truths of the Old Testament and the Gospels

67
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: of Christ and the Holy Koran, the idea that the

68
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: human being is made in the image of God, and

69
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: that the soul of each human is unique and special

70
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: and divine, and that the rights which infuse the dignity

71
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: of human life spring from a power beyond the realm

72
00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: of man, beyond the realm of a dictator, an emperor,

73
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: are a king, a generalissimo, people forget. In eighteen seventy two,

74
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: Ulysses Grant crushed the Ku Klux Klan. But though it

75
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: was destroyed, it came back to life. And though it

76
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: was destroyed again, it came back to life. And though

77
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: it was destroyed again, it came back to life. And

78
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: so it is that the cause of segregation, that the

79
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: cause of replacement theory that the words used by Striker

80
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: and Goebbels and Hitler have become the words of maga.

81
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: The message is about blood and soil nationalism. It is

82
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: un American to talk about immigrants coming to this land

83
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: to poison our blood. This is the language of a fascist,

84
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: not an American. Fascism is nothing new in America. In

85
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: nineteen thirty eight, thirty eight thousand American Nazis filled Madison

86
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: Square Garden giving the Hitler Salute, cheering the foreign dictator

87
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,239
Speaker 1: Adolf Hitler, who would soon plunge the world into chaos.

88
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: The unity of the war erased the fascism which flourished

89
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: in America in the nineteen thirties. The Civil rights movement

90
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: destroyed Jim Crow, but it didn't destroy the hate in

91
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: men's hearts. What American history teaches us is that would progress,

92
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: the embers of segregation, of race hate are buried under

93
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: the ash. There they lay and wait and smolder until

94
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: they can ignite again. And so it is the case

95
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: that so long as there are human beings, so long

96
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: as there are people who are in charge of the

97
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: United States, some of those people will have poisoned hearts.

98
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: But it has never been the case that a majority

99
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: of the people stay in that condition. The danger to

100
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: this country from Donald Trump in an election is not

101
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: that he can ever put together a majority of people

102
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: that agree with his calls for revenge, retribution, concentration, camps,

103
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: and punishment. It's that his dedicated and fanatical minority will

104
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: be joined by a coalition of indifferent and apathetic people,

105
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: and that together they will be enough. It simply isn't

106
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: true that the American people have not voted against democracy

107
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 1: before they have seventy six when he was leaving office,

108
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: President Grant understood reconstruction was going to end, and he

109
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: understood the consequences. It plunged Black Americans backwards, where they

110
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: stayed for eighty nine years in a southern apartheid state

111
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: until the Civil Rights Act was passed. When liberty is

112
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: snuffed out, when it is extinguished, it still burns in

113
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: men's and women's hearts. So long as there are human beings,

114
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: the struggle to be free will endure. And there has

115
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: never been a dictatorship that has not crumbled to dust

116
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: against the demands of the human spirit for justice. Donald

117
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: Trump and his minion should understand that the United States

118
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 1: of America will not be subjugated overnight. Should Trump win,

119
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: it will be time to resist, to dig in until

120
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: democracy can be restored again, until it can flourish again,

121
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: until it is in a season of growth with the

122
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: light shining above again. This moment in American life has

123
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: been building for a very very long time. Understand what

124
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 1: it is, Appreciate the threat, and know that there are

125
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: millions of Americans who don't feel a part of American democracy,

126
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: and so the mission of the Biding campaign must be

127
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: to reach them. And the way to reach them is

128
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 1: by talking to them through the broadest possible aperture, the

129
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 1: one that binds the majority of us together with an

130
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: identity that means more than any other one, and that

131
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: is our American identity, the identity of a patriot and

132
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: of patriotism. I remember John McCain would talk about this.

133
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: He said he had been called many things in his life,

134
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: and had many titles captain, hero, senator, nominee of the

135
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: Republican Party, but the one that mattered to him the most,

136
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: that he exalted in was the simplest, my fellow Americans.

137
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: And that is very simply the message of the Biden campaign.

138
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: Combined with this, Joe Biden is on our side, He's

139
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 1: on your side. There is one thing in early January

140
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: that is absolutely perfectly crystal clear, and it's this. The

141
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: White House must abandon its Rose Garden strategy. It has failed.

142
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: It's failing the country, and it's failing President Biden. The

143
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: strategy of the Biden campaign is simple. It's this, give

144
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: him hell, Joe, and that's exactly what the President did

145
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: this week at Valley Forge and Mother Emmanuel Ame Church

146
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: in Charleston, South Carolina. Joe Biden has laid out the stakes.

147
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 2: That's why tell me again they lost in every court

148
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 2: of law. That challenge results sixty losses in courts of America.

149
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 2: There's one thing they don't have. They don't have respect

150
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 2: for the eighty one million people who voted the other way,

151
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 2: voted for my candidacy and voted to end the presidency.

152
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 2: In their world, these Americans, including you, don't count. But

153
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 2: that's not the real world, that's not democracy, that's not America.

154
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 2: In America, we all count. In America, we witness to

155
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:31,719
Speaker 2: serve all those who in fact participate, and losers are

156
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 2: taught to concede when they lose and he's a loser.

157
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: And let's watch him take the fight to the MAGA

158
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: extremist cause from Valley Forge.

159
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 2: When the attack on January sixth happened, there was no

160
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 2: doubt about the truth. At the time, even Republican members

161
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 2: of Congress and Fox News commentators publicly and privately condemned

162
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 2: the attack, As one Republican senator said, Trump's behavior was

163
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 2: embarrassing and humiliating for the country. But now that same

164
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 2: senator and those same people have changed their tune. As

165
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:21,479
Speaker 2: time has gone gone on politics, fear money all have intervened,

166
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 2: and now these MAGA voices who know the truth about

167
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 2: Trump on January sixth have abandoned the truth and abandoned

168
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 2: the democracy. They made their choice. Now the rest of

169
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 2: US Democrats, independents, mainstream Republicans, we have to make our choice.

170
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 2: I know mine, and I believe I know Americas will

171
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 2: defend the truth, not getting into the big lie. We'll

172
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 2: embrace the constitution of the Declaration, not abandoned it.

173
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: He is exactly right. They are Trump to steal history,

174
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: and they've done it before successfully. At the beginning of

175
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: the twentieth century, Ulysses S. Grant was an American hero

176
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: on peer with George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Thirty years later,

177
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: a generation later, he was all but forgotten. In fact,

178
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: the military genius who won the Civil War was regarded

179
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: in the culture as a butcher, a drunk, and a

180
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: corrupt president. He was none of those things. He was

181
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: one of the greatest figures in the entire American story.

182
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: But somehow the lost caused myth a lie made Robert E.

183
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: Lee a genius and a hero, and posited the slaver,

184
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: a cruel master, as a more honorable man than Ulysses Grant,

185
00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: whose perseverance and fortitude or a lesson for every human

186
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: being everywhere. When he passed in eighteen eighty five, he

187
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: was the most famous man on earth. Today he is

188
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: not well remembered. What President Biden is old enough to

189
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: understand is what and who the Maga extremist cause is.

190
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: This is an asset in the election. The political question

191
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: at hand is where is President Biden going next? He

192
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: should go to Yorktown and to Jamestown and to Gettysburg.

193
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: He should go to Saratoga, and he should go to

194
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: Tykwonderoga and to bunker Hill. And he should stand on

195
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: the bridge at conquered where the shot heard around the

196
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: world was fired. The President should travel to every corner

197
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: of this country and tell the American people our story,

198
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: the good, the bad, the ugly, the lessons that we

199
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: must learn. The United States of America is unique. There

200
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: is no country like it. We are a nation founded

201
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: on the power of an idea, and that idea is

202
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: the fruition of thousands of years of human evolution. The

203
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: idea of America is the idea that is built upon

204
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: in the truths of the Old Testament and the Gospels

205
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 1: of Christ and the Holy Koran, the idea that the

206
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: human being is made in the image of God, and

207
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: that the soul of each human is unique, It's special

208
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: and divine, and that the rights which infuse the dignity

209
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: of human life spring from a power beyond the realm

210
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: of man, beyond the realm of a dictator, an emperor,

211
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: a king, a generalissimo. People forget. In eighteen seventy two,

212
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: Ulysses Grant crushed the Ku Klux Klan, but though it

213
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: was destroyed, it came back to life. And though it

214
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: was destroyed again, it came back to life. And though

215
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: it was destroyed again, it came back to life. And

216
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: so it is that the cause of segregation, that the

217
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: cause of replacement theory that the words used by Striker

218
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: and Goebbels and Hitler have become the words of maga.

219
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: The message is about blood and soil nationalism. It is

220
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: un American to talk about immigrants coming to this land

221
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: to poison our blood. This is the language of a fascist,

222
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 1: not an American. Fascism is nothing new in America. In

223
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: nineteen thirty eight, thirty eight thousand American Nazis filled Madison

224
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: Square Garden giving the Hitler Salute, cheering the foreign dictator

225
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: Adolf Hitler, who would soon plunge the world into chaos.

226
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: The unity of the war erased the fascism which flourished

227
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: in America in the nineteen thirties. The Civil Rights movement

228
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: destroyed Jim Crow, but it didn't destroy the hate in

229
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: men's hearts. What American history teaches us is that would progress,

230
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: the embers of segregation, of race hate are buried under

231
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: the ash. There they lay in wait and smolder until

232
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 1: they can ignite again. And so it is the case

233
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 1: that so long as there are human beings, so long

234
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 1: as there are people who are in charge of the

235
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: United States. Some of those people will have poisoned hearts,

236
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: but it has never been the case that a majority

237
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: of the people stay in that condition. The danger to

238
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 1: this country from Donald Trump in an election is not

239
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: that he can ever put together a majority of people

240
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: that agree with his calls for revenge, retribution, concentration, camps,

241
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: and punishment. It's that his dedicated and fanatical minority will

242
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 1: be joined by a coalition of indifferent and apathetic people,

243
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: and that together they will be enough. It simply isn't

244
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 1: true that the American people have not voted against democracy before.

245
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: They have. In eighteen seventy six, when he was leaving office,

246
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: President Grant understood Reconstruction was going to end, and he

247
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: understood the consequences. It plunged Black Americans backwards, where they

248
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: stayed for eighty nine years in a southern apartheid state

249
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: until the Civil Rights Act was passed. When liberty is

250
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: snuffed out, when it is extinguished, it still burns in

251
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: men's and women's hearts. So long as there are human beings,

252
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: the struggle to be free will endure. And there has

253
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: never been a dictatorship that has not crumbled to dust

254
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: against the demands of the human spirit for justice. Donald

255
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 1: Trump and his minion should understand that the United States

256
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: of America will not be subjugated overnight. Should Trump win,

257
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: it will be time to resist, to dig in until

258
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: democracy can be restored again, until it can flourish again,

259
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: until it is in a season of growth with the

260
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: light shining above again. This moment in American life has

261
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: been building for a very, very long time. Understand what

262
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: it is, Appreciate the threat, and know that there are

263
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: millions of Americans who don't feel a part of American democracy,

264
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 1: and so the mission of the Biden campaign must be

265
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 1: to reach them. And the way to reach them is

266
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: by talking to them through the broadest possible aperture, the

267
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:17,479
Speaker 1: one that binds the majority of us together with an

268
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: identity that means more than any other one, and that

269
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: is our American identity, the identity of a patriot and

270
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: of patriotism. I remember John McCain would talk about this.

271
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: He said he had been called many things in his

272
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: life and had many titles, captain, hero, senator, nominee of

273
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: the Republican Party, but the one that mattered to him

274
00:23:53,480 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: the most, that he exalted in was the simplest fellow Americans,

275
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: and that is very simply the message of the Biden

276
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: campaign combined with this, Joe Biden is on our side,

277
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: he's on your side, and Donald Trump is most certainly

278
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 1: not
