1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: There is one week left until the American people make 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 1: a monumental decision. It is the twenty ninth of October. 3 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: Seven days to go until scores of tens of millions 4 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: of us, from coast to coast, from sea to shining sea, 5 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:21,440 Speaker 1: walk into voting boots and cast our most precious gift, 6 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: a vote, a choice that we get to make about 7 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 1: the future of the country. 8 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 2: This is the warning. 9 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 1: Every vote is equal. Billionaires don't get to vote ten times. 10 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: Every American citizen is a shareholder, a stakeholder. We together 11 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: will decide the future of our country. 12 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 2: We have one. 13 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 1: Week left to sort it all out, to evaluate who 14 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,160 Speaker 1: the two people are that are running for president, Who 15 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: are the people around them, What do they believe, what 16 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: do they stand for? Are they parting a path that 17 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: we have long been on? Are they trying to reorder 18 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: our society, to remake the United States? All fair questions, 19 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: and the answer in the case of Donald Trump is yes. 20 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: He spent time yesterday with one of America's greatest religious 21 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: hucksters and fraudsters. He let her and her extremist friends 22 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: touch him, lay hands on him, to speak in fork tongues, 23 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 1: and pray over the convicted felon and adjudicated rapist. 24 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 3: And I asked for divine visitations that you would continue 25 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,320 Speaker 3: to give them your wisdom. According to James one to five, 26 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 3: that you had give him the mind of Christ. According 27 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 3: to Philippians two five, that you said in Psalm thirty 28 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 3: three that blessed is the nation whose Lord is God. 29 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 3: And we just thank you for our fighter of faith, 30 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 3: and for freedom and for religion God, and most of 31 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 3: all for our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ. 32 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: Now let me offer another piece of advice. If it 33 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: walks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, 34 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: it's probably a duck. Similarly, if a goose steps like 35 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: a Nazi, it salutes like a Nazi, it talks like 36 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: a Nazi, it's probably a Nazi. Now, Donald Trump may 37 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: experiencing what psychologists call a consciousness of guilt after his 38 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: fascist rally in Madison Square Garden, where he did his 39 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: very best to equal it raised the stakes on the 40 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: boond rally of February twentieth, nineteen thirty nine, where giant 41 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: banners of George Washington were hung on the stage, the 42 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: stage that Trump spoke from, flanked by Spostikus here's what 43 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 1: happened at Donald Trump's fascist rally. We heard replacement theory. 44 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 4: And people know, in a country that has been taken 45 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 4: over by a leadership class that actually despises them and 46 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 4: their values and their history and their culture and their 47 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 4: custom really hates them to the point that it's trying 48 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 4: to replace them. 49 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: We heard all of the orthodoxies of Hitlerism and fascism americanized. 50 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 4: The cartels are gone, the criminal migrants are gone, the 51 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 4: gangs are gone. America is for Americans and Americans only. 52 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: But let me be clear, and I'm saying this because 53 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: I know what I'm talking about. Donald Trump is a fascist. 54 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: His movement, MAGA, is a fascist movement. The plan to 55 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: deport tens of millions of people and to build the 56 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: police state to do it is also a fascist idea. 57 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 2: That's the thing about America. It's a country, the. 58 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: Only one in the world, built not on blood and soil, 59 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: not on generational tribal inheritances, but on an idea, perhaps 60 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: the most important in world history, that all men and 61 00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: now women and people of color are created equally, creator 62 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: with inalienable rights, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. 63 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: That is what is online in this selection. Donald Trump, 64 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: over and over and over again, has told us exactly 65 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: who he is. 66 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 5: Kamala has imported criminal migrants from prisons and jails, from 67 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 5: insane asylums and mental institutions from all around the world, 68 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 5: from Venezuela to the Congo, oh Congo. They're sending a 69 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 5: lot of that people because you know what, they don't 70 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 5: want to take care of them, They're going to send them. 71 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 5: They're sending them here. We have a lot they come 72 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 5: out of Congo prisons, but they come from Africa, they 73 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 5: come from the Middle East, they come from a lot 74 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 5: of places, and of course they come from South America. 75 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 5: The jails all over the world are being emptied into 76 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 5: our country, and only bed can come out. 77 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 2: Now. 78 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: The second richest person in the world who insisted that 79 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: the newspaper he bought as a hobby horse put onto 80 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: its masthead, democracy dies in darkness. It may be the 81 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: dumbest and most cynical thing that has ever been placed 82 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: on the front page of an American newspaper. Truly, it 83 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: used to be just dumb and vapid, but now it's 84 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: become sinister and cancerous. Jeff Bezos wrote an op ed today, 85 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,280 Speaker 1: and in the op ed, the owner of the Washington 86 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: Post declared print media in America can't be trusted, is 87 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: not trusted, and therefore it can't take a stand editorially 88 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: on the most profound question the United States is facing 89 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: since the eve of the Civil War and the eve 90 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 1: of the Second World War. 91 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 2: And Jeff Bezos, a. 92 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: Man so rich that he can build his own rockets 93 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: to blast himself off into outer space, is a fraid 94 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: aid to take a stand cowardice is a terrible, terrible. 95 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 2: Disposition for a newspaper owner. 96 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: This is a moment that requires fortitude, toughness, grit, and conviction, 97 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 1: and obviously Jeff Bezos, who spent the summer cruising the 98 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: Mediterranean on a five hundred million dollar. 99 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 2: Boat, has none of the above. 100 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: He isn't a national malignancy like Elon Musk, but he's 101 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: just a soulless just as empty, and he should sell 102 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: the Washington Post or put it into some type of 103 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: trust before he loses every ounce of affection the American 104 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: people have for him as he exposes himself as one 105 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: more greedy billionaire who doesn't care about anything that's outside 106 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: the view of his yacht. Now over at CNN another 107 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: moment of disgrace. 108 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 3: If you don't want to be called Nazis, stop. 109 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 2: Table people by me. 110 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: I never called you.

I want to just address 121 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 6: what happened in the last segment. First, I want to 122 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 6: apologize to Medi Hassan for what was said at this table. 123 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 6: It was completely unacceptable. When we get this discussion started, 124 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 6: you'll see that Ryan is not at the table. There 125 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 6: is a line that was crossed there and it's not 126 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 6: acceptable to me. It's not acceptable to us at this network. 127 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 6: We want discussion, We want people who disagree with each 128 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 6: other to talk to each other. But when you cross 129 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 6: the line of a complete lack of civility, that is 130 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 6: not going to happen here on this show. 131 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: Every night, Abby Phillips in all of the CNN hosts 132 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: with very very few exceptions, like Aaron Burnett, whom you 133 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: would never see a freak show like Ryan Gooderski on 134 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: her show, but you'll see it on Abby Phillips because 135 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: every night the producers curate a combustible freak show. There's 136 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 1: always a Ryan Gooderski on the Abby Phillips set. It's 137 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,559 Speaker 1: not a show for serious conversation. Scott Jennings appears on 138 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: it constantly. Last night, a man who was once accused 139 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,319 Speaker 1: of rape, Ryan Gooderski, a man who had no. 140 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 2: Business being on CNN. 141 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: A liar, a propagandist, a political extremist. Yesterday, Ryan Goodersky 142 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: looked at my friend Metti and accused him of being 143 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: a member of Hamas and suggested that he might have 144 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: a pager on him that would soon blow up, potentially 145 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:09,559 Speaker 1: injuring Ryan. 146 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 2: Nobody should be. 147 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: Surprised that Ryan Godursky would say something like that, and 148 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 1: no one should be surprised that he would say it 149 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: on CNN. Cynicism is how Ryan Goderski wound up on television. 150 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:25,239 Speaker 1: Cynicism is the reason the Washington Post won't make an endorsement. 151 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: Transactional cynicism is how the American media has failed the 152 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,439 Speaker 1: country during these last nine years. Price is the fascist 153 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: movement that stands on the edge of taking power and 154 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: authoring a catastrophe. The Washington Post will not save us. 155 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: CNN will not save us. The New York Times will 156 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,199 Speaker 1: not save us. The only people who will save America 157 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: now are the American people. And we have to save 158 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: it from an awful corruption that we have let swirrel 159 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: in our politics, in our media, in our corporations, in 160 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: our culture, everywhere around us. Donald Trump is an evil man, 161 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: and I don't use that word lightly, but there are 162 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: no adjudicated rapists who are an evil man. 163 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 2: He's a felon, He's a liar. 164 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: He incited an insurrection against the American constitution, he betrayed 165 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: his oath. 166 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:22,959 Speaker 2: He's a fascist. 167 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: What Trump is is perfectly clear. What remains murky is 168 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: what type of country we are, or we the type 169 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: of people? And are we the type of Americans who 170 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: are so weak, so pitiful that we are the ones 171 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: finally that open the gates and allow a fascist to 172 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: take power.
