Speaker 1: It is September third, twenty twenty four. Earlier this morning,
Speaker 1: dawn broke over the coast of Maine on Cadillac Mountain.
Speaker 1: There are sixty three days remaining until the last American
Speaker 1: will cast the last vote into twenty twenty four presidential election.
Speaker 1: One week remains to the first debate between the disgraced
Speaker 1: President Donald Trump and the Democratic nominee and the Freedom candidate,
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris. This is the warning. At first glance, it
Speaker 1: may seem as if nothing has changed between yesterday and today,
Speaker 1: but for many tens of millions of Americans, they will
Speaker 1: notice the imperceptible shifts. Everybody's back at school now. There's
Speaker 1: a little bit of a chill in the air in
Speaker 1: most of the country. The days are perceptibly sure will
Speaker 1: have warm summer days. But we remember now in this
Speaker 1: time of the year, the awful attack on September eleventh,
Speaker 1: two thousand and one, a quarter century behind us, almost
Speaker 1: but an event that defined a generation and set America
Speaker 1: on a path to great failure in it overseas wars.
Speaker 1: We have an opportunity now as a country to move
Speaker 1: beyond that era. And what followed. What followed was Donald
Speaker 1: Trump a reaction to the failed wars in Iraq and
Speaker 1: Afghanistan and the incoherence of American foreign policy, the idea
Speaker 1: that we should spend trillions building democracies abroad when hours
Speaker 1: was collapsing in decaying at home. You see, when forty
Speaker 1: percent of the population doesn't have four hundred dollars, when
Speaker 1: they're an emergency away from being financially wiped out. The
Speaker 1: words of a demagogue promising greatness like this man's ring
Speaker 1: in their ears. People want community, and what Donald Trump
Speaker 1: has built over ten years is a maga community. He's
Speaker 1: created a home for the angry and for the aggrieved.
Speaker 1: The price of admission is pretty easy. All it takes
Speaker 1: is an act of capitulation or surrender. All you have
Speaker 1: to do to be a good maga is ring the bell.
Speaker 1: If you ring the bell and you let Donald Trump
Speaker 1: do the worrying for you, you're in. If you let Donald
Speaker 1: Trump decide for you what's real and what's not. If
Speaker 1: you let Donald Trump tell you what's truth and what's not,
Speaker 1: you get to be a member of the community and
Speaker 1: you get something great for it. Immunization. Nothing is your fault.
Speaker 1: Every grievance you have is heroic and justified. Every failure
Speaker 1: you have is not a sign of losing, but evidence
Speaker 1: of conspiracy. And together, this great moving, glatinous blob called
Speaker 1: MAGA has laid out a proposition for the whole country
Speaker 1: from a minority perspective, because there will never be more
Speaker 1: Magas than there are Americans. But what they've said is,
Speaker 1: we want one man who we believe can fix everything.
Speaker 1: We want one man. Never Mind he's a fraud and
Speaker 1: a con man. Never mind that he is nothing at
Speaker 1: all like he says he is. Never mind that he's
Speaker 1: lied forty thousand times in documented public records, never mind
Speaker 1: that he's an adjudicated rapists, never mind that he's decomposing mentally.
Speaker 1: We insist that the man who gave us absolution rules
Speaker 1: your life. That's the proposition on the table. Listen to
Speaker 1: Donald Trump talk about women at the Magharavs, thanking their
Speaker 1: men as if we're in Saudi Arabia for allowing them
Speaker 1: to come alone.
Speaker 2: Somebody said women don't like Donald Trump. I said, I
Speaker 2: think that's wrong. I think they loved me. I love them.
Speaker 2: I love them. They're wealthy as hell. Look at them,
Speaker 2: They've got nothing but cash. Their husbands are great, but
Speaker 2: they allow them to go all over the country. They
Speaker 2: follow me all over the country.
Speaker 1: Let's reverse it. Imagine if he said this to the ladies. Ladies,
Speaker 1: thank you for letting your men come alone to the Magarelli.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine what you're hearing is something sinister and weird,
Speaker 1: but mostly sinister. It's the language of control. And what
Speaker 1: doesn't Trump get about the charter of the country, which
Speaker 1: is that liberty and freedom combined create the opportunity for
Speaker 1: the pursuit of happiness, and the pursuit of happiness for
Speaker 1: so many leads to the pursuit of excellence. And that's
Speaker 1: what Trump doesn't understand because everything has been handed to
Speaker 1: him in life, and he thinks he has an entitlement
Speaker 1: to take, and so does JD. Vance thinks he has
Speaker 1: an entitlement if you're a woman in the country, to
Speaker 1: tell you what to do, to take your freedom away.
Speaker 1: The most important thing to understand is that politics matters.
Speaker 1: It can shape everything around you and change it in
Speaker 1: an instant. Donald Trump and JD. Vance want to take
Speaker 1: something from America's women, and they want to make themselves
Speaker 1: partners in every decision. All of it is an assault
Speaker 1: on the American way of life, and the whole world
Speaker 1: is watching, The whole world is waiting. Will we recommit
Speaker 1: to our creed to freedom, to the idea that what
Speaker 1: your neighbors doing in their bedroom is none of your
Speaker 1: fucking business. Will we recommit to the idea of tolerance,
Speaker 1: of minding your own business, of treating everybody with dignity
Speaker 1: and respect, appreciating that freedom for me means freedom for everyone,
Speaker 1: and if anyone of the everyone isn't free, it's an
Speaker 1: impingement on my freedom as well. This is what it
Speaker 1: means to be an American, to be tolerant, to appreciate
Speaker 1: that we have freedoms of speech and religion, and we
Speaker 1: should be free to be free from fear from our
Speaker 1: politicians like Trumpet jd Vance, who promise to come and
Speaker 1: get you for revenge and retribution because you're an enemy.
Speaker 1: If you're not for them, it is an evil. And
Speaker 1: what they have come to create in America in the
Speaker 1: third decade of the twenty first century is a fascist movement.
Speaker 1: It is incoherent, it is dishonest, and it is filled
Speaker 1: with fringe weirdos, political extremists, hangers on and many criminals
Speaker 1: who have been attracted to the idea that in politics,
Speaker 1: if we win, we can take as much as we
Speaker 1: want and do what we want to our enemy. And
Speaker 1: because of our broken media, because of the corporate profiteers,
Speaker 1: because of faithless men who are in each and every
Speaker 1: way their own version of Trump, and some women also,
Speaker 1: we have arrived at a most desperate place where, in
Speaker 1: slightly more than sixty days, a great choice will be
Speaker 1: made at the end of a great contest a campaign.
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is the Democratic nominee for president, but more
Speaker 1: than that, she is the American candidate. If that word
Speaker 1: has any meaning. She would be supported in this election.
Speaker 1: If they were here by Ronald Reagan and by George
Speaker 1: Herbert Walker Bush and Dwight Eisenhower and Gerald Ford and
Speaker 1: Richard Nixon, the Republican Party that was faithful to the
Speaker 1: flag and to the Constitution would stand with Kamala Harris,
Speaker 1: who stands beneath the American flag, not a Magabanner, which
Speaker 1: is its antithesis. Kamala Harris has made clear she wishes
Speaker 1: to be president of even the Americans. You disagree with her,
Speaker 1: she will fight for all of us because she's an
Speaker 1: American leader, not a factional leader, not a thug leading
Speaker 1: a tribe which seeks to subordinate all of us under
Speaker 1: all of them, because they have the power and we don't.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is not on your side. Donald Trump doesn't
Speaker 1: care about you, your children, your grandchildren, your homes, your careers,
Speaker 1: your dreams, your aspirations. Donald Trump is a con man,
Speaker 1: and he's always been one, and he's going to try
Speaker 1: to sell the greatest con maybe that there's ever been
Speaker 1: the idea that you were better off four years ago,
Speaker 1: the idea that he fits in in a mainstream, that
Speaker 1: he wants to to protect women's reproductive rights, that he
Speaker 1: wants to stand fast against America's enemies, that he wants
Speaker 1: to fight for the little guy. He is a desecrator
Speaker 1: of sacred things, of our flag, of our armed forces.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's because he has dementia and he's lost all
Speaker 1: ability to control himself. And I mean this seriously. There
Speaker 1: were many people who worried about Joe Biden's age, and
Speaker 1: I was one of them. But President Biden has never
Speaker 1: displayed the type of venomous incoherence that Donald Trump has.
Speaker 1: Let's take a watch.
Speaker 2: She destroyed the city of San Francisco. It's and I
Speaker 2: own a big building there. It's no I shouldn't talk
Speaker 2: about this, but that's okay. I don't give a damn
Speaker 2: because this is what I'm doing. I should say it's
Speaker 2: the finest city in the world selling get the hell
Speaker 2: out of there, right, But I can't do that. I
Speaker 2: don't care. You know, I lost billions of dollar. You know.
Speaker 2: Somebody said, what do you think he lost? I said,
Speaker 2: probably too the rebellion. That's okay, I don't care. They said,
Speaker 2: do you think you do it again? And that's the
Speaker 2: least of it. Nobody they always say that. I don't know.
Speaker 2: If you know, Lincoln was horribly treated, Jefferson was pretty
Speaker 2: horribly Andrew Jackson they say was the worst of all.
Speaker 2: That he was treated worse than any other president. And
Speaker 2: I said, do that study again, because I think there's
Speaker 2: nobody close to Trump.
Speaker 1: I even got shot. The stakes of this election are
Speaker 1: beyond enormous. They are existential. They're existential because there is
Speaker 1: a man with a plan to assert maximum power under
Speaker 1: the umbrella of a radical and corrupt Supreme Court that
Speaker 1: says that's the right of the president. We stand in
Speaker 1: a dangerous moment, in a dangerous hour. The storm that
Speaker 1: is common, will eat, consume us or break in front
Speaker 1: of us, and whether whatever happens happens is entirely up
Speaker 1: to the will of a free people. What a moment
Speaker 1: this is to be alive in America, which is why
Speaker 1: it's time to do something. The summer has passed, The
Speaker 1: days will get short quickly. These two months will rocket by.
Speaker 1: Great events will take place in the world. There will
Speaker 1: be traumas in the country. We will get to see
Speaker 1: the character of both of these candidates. Some out there
Speaker 1: will say, well, we don't know enough about Kamala Harris,
Speaker 1: or I wish she got to do more interviews or nothing,
Speaker 1: Because the truth is it's her or Trump, and he's
Speaker 1: the most unfit, vile man who's ever held political power
Speaker 1: in the United States, and his return to it will
Speaker 1: be a monumental disaster for America. Today's the first day
Speaker 1: of the fall campaign. It will go quickly. You have
Speaker 1: a duty as a citizen to be involved in this one.

Speaker 1: the truth straight every day, each day for all the
Speaker 1: ones left of this campaign that will decide our country's future.
