1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,320 Speaker 1: Two weeks from this exact moment. Fourteen days from now, 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 1: ten to millions of Americans will be voted. They will 3 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 1: choose the forty seventh president of the United States. The 4 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: race is razor close. This is the warning. Poll after 5 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: poll after poll show that this election is deadlocked. It 6 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: is dead even in the swing states. Both candidates, though, 7 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: have a very different approach to the election. Here's Vice 8 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,520 Speaker 1: President Harris talking about the issues that Donald Trump accuses 9 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,240 Speaker 1: her of never talking about. 10 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 2: Is there a policy that stands out to you in 11 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 2: particular either? 12 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 3: Sure, I mean my approach to what we need to 13 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 3: do around medicare covering home healthcare born out of my 14 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 3: experience of taking care of my mother. My priority on 15 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 3: housing one because I know what it means affordable housing 16 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 3: and the ability to buy a home again my own experience, 17 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 3: my mother saved up and not until I as a teenager, 18 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 3: was she able to do it. But also I know 19 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 3: that for so many young people who I speak with 20 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 3: around our country, the American dream is just really out 21 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 3: of reach. So my policy about twenty five thousand dollars 22 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 3: down payment assistance to help them get their foot in 23 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:12,119 Speaker 3: the door. 24 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 1: And here's Donald Trump making clear his vision for the 25 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: American educational system. 26 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 4: No transgender, no operations. You know, they take your kid. 27 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 4: There are some places your boy leaves the school comes 28 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 4: back a girl. Okay, without parental consent? What is that 29 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 4: all about? That's like, that's when they talk about a 30 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:36,919 Speaker 4: threat to democracy. 31 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: They're a threat. 32 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 4: Could you imagine without parental consent. At first, when I 33 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 4: was told that was actually happening, I said, you know, 34 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 4: it's an exaggeration. No, it happens. It happens. There are 35 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 4: areas where it happens. 36 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: And for the record, that's not happening. It's not happening 37 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: at all. There are no children who are being kidnapped 38 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: by their first period teacher who's passing them off to 39 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: gender transition surgery by recess and home a girl by 40 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 1: the end of the day. It is ludicrous. But Donald 41 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 1: Trump is campaigning on this issue in twenty twenty four, 42 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 1: when there is war in Europe, there is war in 43 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: the Middle East, there is an aggressive assert of China. 44 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: This is Donald Trump's campaign. Let's watch and. 45 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 2: We will proudly say Mary Christmas again. 46 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: Here's the crowd cheering when Donald Trump talks about the 47 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: suspension of a broadcast license for CBS News. 48 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 5: How about sixty minutes the way they protected Kamala. 49 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 4: She gave an answer. 50 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 5: She gave an answer. 51 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 4: Think of it, sixty minutes CBS and they ought to 52 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 4: lose their license and they ort to take it off 53 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:46,119 Speaker 4: the air. 54 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: Oh and here's Donald Trump in Pennsylvania talking about one 55 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: of the most important issues to twenty first century America, 56 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: the substantial girth of Hall of Fame golfer Arnold Palmer. 57 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 2: His man was strong and tough, and I refuse to 58 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 2: say it, but when he took showers with the other pros, 59 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 2: they came out of there, they said, Oh my god, 60 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 2: that's unbelievable. 61 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 3: I had to say it. 62 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 4: I had to say it. 63 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: And yet the people cheer. Half the country, according to 64 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: the polls, is for this guy. America's favorite short order 65 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: fry cook the Donalds. Where's the hair net? By the way, 66 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: At any rate, each day Donald Trump plays the American media, 67 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: which he has done perfectly beautifully for ten years. He 68 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: waves the cake. Whatever the outrage of the day, it 69 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: gets covered and people laugh at it, whether it's a 70 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: crude or cruel joke. At the Al Smith dinner in 71 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: front of dozens of Catholic priests and clergy. 72 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 5: Chuck Schumer is here looking very glossy. Looks love me, 73 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 5: It looks love But look on the bright set. You're 74 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 5: considering how woke your party has become. If Kamala loses, 75 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 5: you used to have a chance to become the first 76 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 5: woman president. 77 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: Or whether it's talking about making America healthy again. 78 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 4: Bobby Kennedy, Right, everybody likes Bobby and he's so big 79 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 4: into the health, food and women things. Everything he wants 80 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 4: to do, things in the environment. 81 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 1: This campaign now exists on two planes. Trump goes out 82 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: and does something completely outlandish and everybody chases it while 83 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: he delivers the threat. On the downbeat, he'll take away 84 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: the broadcast license, He'll imprison his opponents, and once again, 85 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: Donald Trump makes clear in North Carolina that there's cheating 86 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: in the election that in fact doesn't exist. 87 00:04:58,279 --> 00:04:59,239 Speaker 5: He'll stop the cheating. 88 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: Go to stop the cheating. 89 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 5: How are you doing? Are they cheating, Michael? They're trying, 90 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 5: but are they They're not going to get away with it, right. 91 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is laying the groundwork so that if he 92 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: loses the election, he will start claiming on that night 93 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: that it was stolen. But nobody talked about American elections 94 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: being corrupt, American elections being stolen until Donald Trump lost one, 95 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: or thought he was going to lose one, or maybe 96 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: more precisely, might lose because that thought's impossible for Donald Trump. 97 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: His ego, his broken, disordered personality won't allow it. And 98 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:41,359 Speaker 1: so the entire cornerstone of our civilization, our way of life, 99 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: is threatened by this brittle, broken hollow man who can't 100 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: stand the idea that the American people are sovereign and 101 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: may decide like they did to fire him. But when 102 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: it was Jimmy Carter versus Gerald Ford or Ronald Wagan 103 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 1: versus Jimmy Carter, or Bill Clinton versus George Bush, or 104 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: Barack Obama versus Hillary Clinton or John McCain. The truth 105 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: of the matter is there is no country in the 106 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: world that has cleaner or fairer elections than the United States, period. 107 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 1: But Donald Trump has upended that with the forcefulness of lying. 108 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 1: The idea that if you repeat it over and over 109 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: and over again, it becomes true. Like the notion that 110 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,919 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's first four years were a successful presidency, not 111 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: a time of abject chaos, This notion that he performed 112 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: competently or ably during COVID. The truth is the mayhem 113 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 1: that he produced cost hundreds of thousands of Americans their 114 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 1: lives unnecessarily. He's unfit, he's unprepared, and yet half the 115 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 1: country seems willing to go another round. 116 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 5: Thank you very much. 117 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: When you see that many Americans cheering for un American exclamations, 118 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: I'll shut down the media, I'll lock up my opponents. 119 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: I'll harm people because they are against me. The smallness 120 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: that you're seeing, the brittleness that you're seeing, all of 121 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: it together shouldn't mask the promise that's being made. When 122 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: Donald Trump takes the stage and he makes an outlander's statement, 123 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: that's not a promise. When Donald Trump, after he makes 124 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: the outlander's statement, says he'll lock up a political opponent, 125 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: that's a promise. The media covers the outlandish statement, but 126 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: never the promise. The promise is all that matters. The 127 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: American way of life is all that matters in this election, 128 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: and the person who is defending it is the Vice 129 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: President Harris. Now, fifteen million Americans have already voted. Two 130 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: weeks from now, millions and millions and millions more will 131 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: have already done so. And then the flood will come 132 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: and sometime in the evening on the East coast, the 133 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: votes they will be counted, and the states will start 134 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: to report their findings and will know how it's shaping up. 135 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: Two weeks to go. One candidate is talking about America's future. 136 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: Another candidate is talking about Haitians eating dogs, about children 137 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 1: kidnapped by their teachers for sexual reassignment surgery. It's all madness, 138 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 1: and yet a lot of people seem deeply attracted to it. 139 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: They look at Democrats and they look at Republicans and 140 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: they see somehow in equivalents that I don't understand. But 141 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: what we will all share together after this election is 142 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 1: the consequence of it. And if Donald Trump becomes the 143 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: president of the United State, dates we'll have the consequences 144 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: of a choice and reports of the catastrophe that unfolds 145 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: from it. Catastrophe is what lies ahead if this man 146 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: becomes president again, listen to him closely, listen to him carefully. 147 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: The threat he's making. It's against you, it's against us. 148 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: Are you really really going to be fooled by a 149 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,319 Speaker 1: man who's lied to you more times than any person 150 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: has ever lied to his fellow countryman In our history. 151 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: Reject this man. He's vile, he's indecent, and deeply, deeply 152 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: dangerous for the future of this country.
