WEBVTT - Trump's Outlandish Antics Are A Distraction From His Very Real Threats

0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Two weeks from this exact moment. Fourteen days from now,

0:00:04.640 --> 0:00:07.520
<v Speaker 1>ten to millions of Americans will be voted. They will

0:00:07.600 --> 0:00:11.440
<v Speaker 1>choose the forty seventh president of the United States. The

0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:17.720
<v Speaker 1>race is razor close. This is the warning. Poll after

0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:22.680
<v Speaker 1>poll after poll show that this election is deadlocked. It

0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:26.400
<v Speaker 1>is dead even in the swing states. Both candidates, though,

0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:30.040
<v Speaker 1>have a very different approach to the election. Here's Vice

0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:34.520
<v Speaker 1>President Harris talking about the issues that Donald Trump accuses

0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:36.240
<v Speaker 1>her of never talking about.

0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Is there a policy that stands out to you in

0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:39.839
<v Speaker 2>particular either?

0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:42.600
<v Speaker 3>Sure, I mean my approach to what we need to

0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:45.879
<v Speaker 3>do around medicare covering home healthcare born out of my

0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:50.400
<v Speaker 3>experience of taking care of my mother. My priority on

0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:53.920
<v Speaker 3>housing one because I know what it means affordable housing

0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:56.720
<v Speaker 3>and the ability to buy a home again my own experience,

0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:59.000
<v Speaker 3>my mother saved up and not until I as a teenager,

0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:01.120
<v Speaker 3>was she able to do it. But also I know

0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 3>that for so many young people who I speak with

0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 3>around our country, the American dream is just really out

0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:09.040
<v Speaker 3>of reach. So my policy about twenty five thousand dollars

0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:11.760
<v Speaker 3>down payment assistance to help them get their foot in

0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:12.119
<v Speaker 3>the door.

0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:16.399
<v Speaker 1>And here's Donald Trump making clear his vision for the

0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:18.880
<v Speaker 1>American educational system.

0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:22.600
<v Speaker 4>No transgender, no operations. You know, they take your kid.

0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:26.160
<v Speaker 4>There are some places your boy leaves the school comes

0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:32.679
<v Speaker 4>back a girl. Okay, without parental consent? What is that

0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:35.880
<v Speaker 4>all about? That's like, that's when they talk about a

0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:36.919
<v Speaker 4>threat to democracy.

0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:37.560
<v Speaker 1>They're a threat.

0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:41.040
<v Speaker 4>Could you imagine without parental consent. At first, when I

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.959
<v Speaker 4>was told that was actually happening, I said, you know,

0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:47.360
<v Speaker 4>it's an exaggeration. No, it happens. It happens. There are

0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:48.480
<v Speaker 4>areas where it happens.

0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 1>And for the record, that's not happening. It's not happening

0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:56.720
<v Speaker 1>at all. There are no children who are being kidnapped

0:01:56.760 --> 0:02:00.200
<v Speaker 1>by their first period teacher who's passing them off to

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:05.240
<v Speaker 1>gender transition surgery by recess and home a girl by

0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:08.800
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day. It is ludicrous. But Donald

0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Trump is campaigning on this issue in twenty twenty four,

0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:14.920
<v Speaker 1>when there is war in Europe, there is war in

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 1>the Middle East, there is an aggressive assert of China.

0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:22.919
<v Speaker 1>This is Donald Trump's campaign. Let's watch and.

0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:26.680
<v Speaker 2>We will proudly say Mary Christmas again.

0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Here's the crowd cheering when Donald Trump talks about the

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:34.560
<v Speaker 1>suspension of a broadcast license for CBS News.

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:37.760
<v Speaker 5>How about sixty minutes the way they protected Kamala.

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:39.240
<v Speaker 4>She gave an answer.

0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:41.480
<v Speaker 5>She gave an answer.

0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:43.840
<v Speaker 4>Think of it, sixty minutes CBS and they ought to

0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:45.760
<v Speaker 4>lose their license and they ort to take it off

0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:46.119
<v Speaker 4>the air.

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh and here's Donald Trump in Pennsylvania talking about one

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 1>of the most important issues to twenty first century America,

0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:59.800
<v Speaker 1>the substantial girth of Hall of Fame golfer Arnold Palmer.

0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:04.520
<v Speaker 2>His man was strong and tough, and I refuse to

0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:08.800
<v Speaker 2>say it, but when he took showers with the other pros,

0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.000
<v Speaker 2>they came out of there, they said, Oh my god,

0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:15.280
<v Speaker 2>that's unbelievable.

0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:17.400
<v Speaker 3>I had to say it.

0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:19.240
<v Speaker 4>I had to say it.

0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:24.680
<v Speaker 1>And yet the people cheer. Half the country, according to

0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:29.440
<v Speaker 1>the polls, is for this guy. America's favorite short order

0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:32.880
<v Speaker 1>fry cook the Donalds. Where's the hair net? By the way,

0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:38.000
<v Speaker 1>At any rate, each day Donald Trump plays the American media,

0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:42.680
<v Speaker 1>which he has done perfectly beautifully for ten years. He

0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:46.880
<v Speaker 1>waves the cake. Whatever the outrage of the day, it

0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:50.120
<v Speaker 1>gets covered and people laugh at it, whether it's a

0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:53.520
<v Speaker 1>crude or cruel joke. At the Al Smith dinner in

0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:56.480
<v Speaker 1>front of dozens of Catholic priests and clergy.

0:03:56.920 --> 0:04:02.880
<v Speaker 5>Chuck Schumer is here looking very glossy. Looks love me,

0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:08.080
<v Speaker 5>It looks love But look on the bright set. You're

0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:13.120
<v Speaker 5>considering how woke your party has become. If Kamala loses,

0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:15.160
<v Speaker 5>you used to have a chance to become the first

0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:16.640
<v Speaker 5>woman president.

0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:22.159
<v Speaker 1>Or whether it's talking about making America healthy again.

0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:26.000
<v Speaker 4>Bobby Kennedy, Right, everybody likes Bobby and he's so big

0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:30.360
<v Speaker 4>into the health, food and women things. Everything he wants

0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:31.839
<v Speaker 4>to do, things in the environment.

0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:36.840
<v Speaker 1>This campaign now exists on two planes. Trump goes out

0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:42.320
<v Speaker 1>and does something completely outlandish and everybody chases it while

0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:46.320
<v Speaker 1>he delivers the threat. On the downbeat, he'll take away

0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:50.640
<v Speaker 1>the broadcast license, He'll imprison his opponents, and once again,

0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump makes clear in North Carolina that there's cheating

0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 1>in the election that in fact doesn't exist.

0:04:58.279 --> 0:04:59.239
<v Speaker 5>He'll stop the cheating.

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:01.080
<v Speaker 1>Go to stop the cheating.

0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 5>How are you doing? Are they cheating, Michael? They're trying,

0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:06.800
<v Speaker 5>but are they They're not going to get away with it, right.

0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:10.359
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump is laying the groundwork so that if he

0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:14.120
<v Speaker 1>loses the election, he will start claiming on that night

0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:18.240
<v Speaker 1>that it was stolen. But nobody talked about American elections

0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 1>being corrupt, American elections being stolen until Donald Trump lost one,

0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:26.760
<v Speaker 1>or thought he was going to lose one, or maybe

0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:31.520
<v Speaker 1>more precisely, might lose because that thought's impossible for Donald Trump.

0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:36.360
<v Speaker 1>His ego, his broken, disordered personality won't allow it. And

0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:41.359
<v Speaker 1>so the entire cornerstone of our civilization, our way of life,

0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:46.320
<v Speaker 1>is threatened by this brittle, broken hollow man who can't

0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:50.640
<v Speaker 1>stand the idea that the American people are sovereign and

0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 1>may decide like they did to fire him. But when

0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:58.279
<v Speaker 1>it was Jimmy Carter versus Gerald Ford or Ronald Wagan

0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:02.280
<v Speaker 1>versus Jimmy Carter, or Bill Clinton versus George Bush, or

0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Barack Obama versus Hillary Clinton or John McCain. The truth

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:09.320
<v Speaker 1>of the matter is there is no country in the

0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:15.279
<v Speaker 1>world that has cleaner or fairer elections than the United States, period.

0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:20.479
<v Speaker 1>But Donald Trump has upended that with the forcefulness of lying.

0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:24.279
<v Speaker 1>The idea that if you repeat it over and over

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:28.560
<v Speaker 1>and over again, it becomes true. Like the notion that

0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:32.919
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump's first four years were a successful presidency, not

0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:37.440
<v Speaker 1>a time of abject chaos, This notion that he performed

0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:42.680
<v Speaker 1>competently or ably during COVID. The truth is the mayhem

0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:46.839
<v Speaker 1>that he produced cost hundreds of thousands of Americans their

0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:52.599
<v Speaker 1>lives unnecessarily. He's unfit, he's unprepared, and yet half the

0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:56.160
<v Speaker 1>country seems willing to go another round.

0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:09.040
<v Speaker 5>Thank you very much.

0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:15.120
<v Speaker 1>When you see that many Americans cheering for un American exclamations,

0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:18.640
<v Speaker 1>I'll shut down the media, I'll lock up my opponents.

0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:23.440
<v Speaker 1>I'll harm people because they are against me. The smallness

0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:27.160
<v Speaker 1>that you're seeing, the brittleness that you're seeing, all of

0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:31.960
<v Speaker 1>it together shouldn't mask the promise that's being made. When

0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump takes the stage and he makes an outlander's statement,

0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:39.640
<v Speaker 1>that's not a promise. When Donald Trump, after he makes

0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:43.560
<v Speaker 1>the outlander's statement, says he'll lock up a political opponent,

0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:48.080
<v Speaker 1>that's a promise. The media covers the outlandish statement, but

0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:52.200
<v Speaker 1>never the promise. The promise is all that matters. The

0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:55.840
<v Speaker 1>American way of life is all that matters in this election,

0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:59.000
<v Speaker 1>and the person who is defending it is the Vice

0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:06.280
<v Speaker 1>President Harris. Now, fifteen million Americans have already voted. Two

0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:09.960
<v Speaker 1>weeks from now, millions and millions and millions more will

0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.760
<v Speaker 1>have already done so. And then the flood will come

0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:15.640
<v Speaker 1>and sometime in the evening on the East coast, the

0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:19.320
<v Speaker 1>votes they will be counted, and the states will start

0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:23.120
<v Speaker 1>to report their findings and will know how it's shaping up.

0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:28.080
<v Speaker 1>Two weeks to go. One candidate is talking about America's future.

0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Another candidate is talking about Haitians eating dogs, about children

0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:39.319
<v Speaker 1>kidnapped by their teachers for sexual reassignment surgery. It's all madness,

0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:43.679
<v Speaker 1>and yet a lot of people seem deeply attracted to it.

0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:47.000
<v Speaker 1>They look at Democrats and they look at Republicans and

0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:50.720
<v Speaker 1>they see somehow in equivalents that I don't understand. But

0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:55.000
<v Speaker 1>what we will all share together after this election is

0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:58.679
<v Speaker 1>the consequence of it. And if Donald Trump becomes the

0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:02.240
<v Speaker 1>president of the United State, dates we'll have the consequences

0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:06.400
<v Speaker 1>of a choice and reports of the catastrophe that unfolds

0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:10.560
<v Speaker 1>from it. Catastrophe is what lies ahead if this man

0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:16.760
<v Speaker 1>becomes president again, listen to him closely, listen to him carefully.

0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:21.400
<v Speaker 1>The threat he's making. It's against you, it's against us.

0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:25.280
<v Speaker 1>Are you really really going to be fooled by a

0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:29.319
<v Speaker 1>man who's lied to you more times than any person

0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:33.880
<v Speaker 1>has ever lied to his fellow countryman In our history.

0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Reject this man. He's vile, he's indecent, and deeply, deeply

0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:43.920
<v Speaker 1>dangerous for the future of this country. This is the warning.
