1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 1: It is September third, twenty twenty four. Earlier this morning, 2 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 1: dawn broke over the coast of Maine on Cadillac Mountain. 3 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: There are sixty three days remaining until the last American 4 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: will cast the last vote into twenty twenty four presidential election. 5 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: One week remains to the first debate between the disgraced 6 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: President Donald Trump and the Democratic nominee and the Freedom candidate, 7 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris. This is the warning. At first glance, it 8 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:41,919 Speaker 1: may seem as if nothing has changed between yesterday and today, 9 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: but for many tens of millions of Americans, they will 10 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: notice the imperceptible shifts. Everybody's back at school now. There's 11 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: a little bit of a chill in the air in 12 00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: most of the country. The days are perceptibly sure will 13 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: have warm summer days. But we remember now in this 14 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: time of the year, the awful attack on September eleventh, 15 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 1: two thousand and one, a quarter century behind us, almost 16 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: but an event that defined a generation and set America 17 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,839 Speaker 1: on a path to great failure in it overseas wars. 18 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: We have an opportunity now as a country to move 19 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: beyond that era. And what followed. What followed was Donald 20 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: Trump a reaction to the failed wars in Iraq and 21 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: Afghanistan and the incoherence of American foreign policy, the idea 22 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: that we should spend trillions building democracies abroad when hours 23 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: was collapsing in decaying at home. You see, when forty 24 00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: percent of the population doesn't have four hundred dollars, when 25 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: they're an emergency away from being financially wiped out. The 26 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:12,519 Speaker 1: words of a demagogue promising greatness like this man's ring 27 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: in their ears. People want community, and what Donald Trump 28 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: has built over ten years is a maga community. He's 29 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 1: created a home for the angry and for the aggrieved. 30 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: The price of admission is pretty easy. All it takes 31 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: is an act of capitulation or surrender. All you have 32 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: to do to be a good maga is ring the bell. 33 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: If you ring the bell and you let Donald Trump 34 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: do the worrying for you, you're in. If you let Donald 35 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: Trump decide for you what's real and what's not. If 36 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: you let Donald Trump tell you what's truth and what's not, 37 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 1: you get to be a member of the community and 38 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: you get something great for it. Immunization. Nothing is your fault. 39 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:09,679 Speaker 1: Every grievance you have is heroic and justified. Every failure 40 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: you have is not a sign of losing, but evidence 41 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: of conspiracy. And together, this great moving, glatinous blob called 42 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: MAGA has laid out a proposition for the whole country 43 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:31,839 Speaker 1: from a minority perspective, because there will never be more 44 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: Magas than there are Americans. But what they've said is, 45 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: we want one man who we believe can fix everything. 46 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: We want one man. Never Mind he's a fraud and 47 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,839 Speaker 1: a con man. Never mind that he is nothing at 48 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: all like he says he is. Never mind that he's 49 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: lied forty thousand times in documented public records, never mind 50 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: that he's an adjudicated rapists, never mind that he's decomposing mentally. 51 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: We insist that the man who gave us absolution rules 52 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: your life. That's the proposition on the table. Listen to 53 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 1: Donald Trump talk about women at the Magharavs, thanking their 54 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:23,679 Speaker 1: men as if we're in Saudi Arabia for allowing them 55 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: to come alone. 56 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 2: Somebody said women don't like Donald Trump. I said, I 57 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 2: think that's wrong. I think they loved me. I love them. 58 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 2: I love them. They're wealthy as hell. Look at them, 59 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 2: They've got nothing but cash. Their husbands are great, but 60 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 2: they allow them to go all over the country. They 61 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 2: follow me all over the country. 62 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 1: Let's reverse it. Imagine if he said this to the ladies. Ladies, 63 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: thank you for letting your men come alone to the Magarelli. 64 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 1: Can you imagine what you're hearing is something sinister and weird, 65 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 1: but mostly sinister. It's the language of control. And what 66 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 1: doesn't Trump get about the charter of the country, which 67 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: is that liberty and freedom combined create the opportunity for 68 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: the pursuit of happiness, and the pursuit of happiness for 69 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: so many leads to the pursuit of excellence. And that's 70 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: what Trump doesn't understand because everything has been handed to 71 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: him in life, and he thinks he has an entitlement 72 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: to take, and so does JD. Vance thinks he has 73 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: an entitlement if you're a woman in the country, to 74 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: tell you what to do, to take your freedom away. 75 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: The most important thing to understand is that politics matters. 76 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: It can shape everything around you and change it in 77 00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 1: an instant. Donald Trump and JD. Vance want to take 78 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: something from America's women, and they want to make themselves 79 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: partners in every decision. All of it is an assault 80 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: on the American way of life, and the whole world 81 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: is watching, The whole world is waiting. Will we recommit 82 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 1: to our creed to freedom, to the idea that what 83 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: your neighbors doing in their bedroom is none of your 84 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: fucking business. Will we recommit to the idea of tolerance, 85 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: of minding your own business, of treating everybody with dignity 86 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: and respect, appreciating that freedom for me means freedom for everyone, 87 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: and if anyone of the everyone isn't free, it's an 88 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: impingement on my freedom as well. This is what it 89 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 1: means to be an American, to be tolerant, to appreciate 90 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: that we have freedoms of speech and religion, and we 91 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: should be free to be free from fear from our 92 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: politicians like Trumpet jd Vance, who promise to come and 93 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: get you for revenge and retribution because you're an enemy. 94 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: If you're not for them, it is an evil. And 95 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: what they have come to create in America in the 96 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: third decade of the twenty first century is a fascist movement. 97 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: It is incoherent, it is dishonest, and it is filled 98 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: with fringe weirdos, political extremists, hangers on and many criminals 99 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: who have been attracted to the idea that in politics, 100 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: if we win, we can take as much as we 101 00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: want and do what we want to our enemy. And 102 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:05,119 Speaker 1: because of our broken media, because of the corporate profiteers, 103 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: because of faithless men who are in each and every 104 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: way their own version of Trump, and some women also, 105 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: we have arrived at a most desperate place where, in 106 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: slightly more than sixty days, a great choice will be 107 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: made at the end of a great contest a campaign. 108 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is the Democratic nominee for president, but more 109 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: than that, she is the American candidate. If that word 110 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: has any meaning. She would be supported in this election. 111 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: If they were here by Ronald Reagan and by George 112 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: Herbert Walker Bush and Dwight Eisenhower and Gerald Ford and 113 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: Richard Nixon, the Republican Party that was faithful to the 114 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 1: flag and to the Constitution would stand with Kamala Harris, 115 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: who stands beneath the American flag, not a Magabanner, which 116 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 1: is its antithesis. Kamala Harris has made clear she wishes 117 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,079 Speaker 1: to be president of even the Americans. You disagree with her, 118 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: she will fight for all of us because she's an 119 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: American leader, not a factional leader, not a thug leading 120 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: a tribe which seeks to subordinate all of us under 121 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: all of them, because they have the power and we don't. 122 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is not on your side. Donald Trump doesn't 123 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: care about you, your children, your grandchildren, your homes, your careers, 124 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: your dreams, your aspirations. Donald Trump is a con man, 125 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: and he's always been one, and he's going to try 126 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: to sell the greatest con maybe that there's ever been 127 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 1: the idea that you were better off four years ago, 128 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: the idea that he fits in in a mainstream, that 129 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 1: he wants to to protect women's reproductive rights, that he 130 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: wants to stand fast against America's enemies, that he wants 131 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 1: to fight for the little guy. He is a desecrator 132 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: of sacred things, of our flag, of our armed forces. 133 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: Maybe it's because he has dementia and he's lost all 134 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: ability to control himself. And I mean this seriously. There 135 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: were many people who worried about Joe Biden's age, and 136 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 1: I was one of them. But President Biden has never 137 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 1: displayed the type of venomous incoherence that Donald Trump has. 138 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: Let's take a watch. 139 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 2: She destroyed the city of San Francisco. It's and I 140 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 2: own a big building there. It's no I shouldn't talk 141 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 2: about this, but that's okay. I don't give a damn 142 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 2: because this is what I'm doing. I should say it's 143 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 2: the finest city in the world selling get the hell 144 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 2: out of there, right, But I can't do that. I 145 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 2: don't care. You know, I lost billions of dollar. You know. 146 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 2: Somebody said, what do you think he lost? I said, 147 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 2: probably too the rebellion. That's okay, I don't care. They said, 148 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 2: do you think you do it again? And that's the 149 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 2: least of it. Nobody they always say that. I don't know. 150 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 2: If you know, Lincoln was horribly treated, Jefferson was pretty 151 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 2: horribly Andrew Jackson they say was the worst of all. 152 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 2: That he was treated worse than any other president. And 153 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 2: I said, do that study again, because I think there's 154 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 2: nobody close to Trump. 155 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: I even got shot. The stakes of this election are 156 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: beyond enormous. They are existential. They're existential because there is 157 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: a man with a plan to assert maximum power under 158 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: the umbrella of a radical and corrupt Supreme Court that 159 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 1: says that's the right of the president. We stand in 160 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: a dangerous moment, in a dangerous hour. The storm that 161 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: is common, will eat, consume us or break in front 162 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: of us, and whether whatever happens happens is entirely up 163 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: to the will of a free people. What a moment 164 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: this is to be alive in America, which is why 165 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: it's time to do something. The summer has passed, The 166 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: days will get short quickly.
