1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: There are six days to go under a week. It 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: is October thirtieth, Wednesday morning. This is the morning Vice 3 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 1: President Kamala Harris drew a crowd of more than eighty 4 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:17,760 Speaker 1: thousand people that spilled out over onto the Washington Mall, 5 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 1: in the shadow of the Washington Monument, close to the 6 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 1: Lincoln Memorial, all of the totems of America's freedom and 7 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 1: liberty and democracy and sacrifice with in sight of the 8 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:38,239 Speaker 1: podium from which she spoke. Behind her lit up was 9 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: the White House, constructed by slaves in the late eighteenth century, 10 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 1: the home of America's first black president in the twenty first, 11 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: and soon hopefully the home to America's first woman president. 12 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:58,279 Speaker 1: The choice could not be clearer. On the ballot, we 13 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: stand at a fork in the America and her. 14 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 2: People will make a choice. 15 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 1: We will continue forward on the path that our forefathers 16 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: set us on. We will continue forward in the practice 17 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: of freedom. We will continue forward with the practice of 18 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 1: our parents' faith in the country, in each other. Or 19 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 1: we will choose fascism. We will choose a man who 20 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: has no respect for the American people, for the American flag, 21 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: for America's war dead, and for the US Constitution. Kamala 22 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 1: Harris laid out the choice, it is America or Trump. 23 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: It is Americanism or Trump. It is liberty or Trump. 24 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: It is freedom or Trump. Yet Donald Trump is undeterred. 25 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: He's a liar who will say anything. A population that 26 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: is ignorant, that is spoiled, is timed to be lied to. 27 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: And remember, there is no victim ideology that has ever 28 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: existed in America that is as pointed, that is as deep, 29 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: that is as aggrieved as Maga. The absurdity that Donald 30 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: Trump would take offense because Joe Biden referred to his 31 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 1: supporters as garbage who spoke at Madison Square Garden echoing 32 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: the same words, the same language, the same hatreots that 33 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: flowed there on February twentieth, nineteen forty, when the German 34 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: American booned gathered when they hung a George Washington banner 35 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: with swastikas. The successors of those people marched in Charlottesville, 36 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: and Trump said they were good people. The successors of 37 00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: those people are the Patriot Front and the Oathkeepers and 38 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 1: the fascist Proud Voice when they rampaged through Washington, d C. 39 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,519 Speaker 1: On the eve of President Biden's inaugural They were indeed 40 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: Trump's brown shirts, an American essay. Donald Trump put out 41 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: a tweet last night, and in the tweet, Donald Trump 42 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: talked about himself as a victim. Donald Trump talked about 43 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: his movement as a movement of love. I'm going to 44 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: read the statement, but there's more contacts needed, and for 45 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: that we have to turn to the great British author 46 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: George Orwell, a great spokesman and champion for freedom, whose 47 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: novel nineteen eighty four stands as perhaps the greatest dystopian 48 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: imagining of what an autocratic society looks like. In the end, 49 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: the protagonist Winston is being tortured by the party official O'Brien. 50 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: O'Brien is holding up five fingers and demanding that Wilson 51 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: tell him how many he sees. O'Brien tells Winston the truth, 52 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: however many fingers he sees, is determined by how many 53 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,919 Speaker 1: fingers the party tells him he sees. The very first 54 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: thing that happened in Donald Trump's presidency was a monstrous 55 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: lie of authority when he sent his diminutive, prevaricating spokesperson 56 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: forward to stand behind the presidential seal and tell the 57 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: American people that the photograph of Donald Trump's smaller inaugural 58 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: size was in fact larger. This isn't a lie of 59 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,919 Speaker 1: puffery like the Montana Senate candidate who made up a 60 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 1: story about. 61 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 2: Being shot in the arm. 62 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: It's not a lie of exaggeration, like Senator Blumenthal from 63 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: Connecticut who lied about going to Vietnam. 64 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 2: It's a lie of authority. 65 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 1: It's designed to make use of admit to a truth 66 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 1: that is a perversion of the concept of truth, that 67 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: what is true is what the leader says is true. 68 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: Let's watch Sean Hannity playing the role of bag dad 69 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 1: Bob trying to expulcate Donald Trump from his hate fest 70 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: at Madison Square Garden. Is this why you want for 71 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: the next four years? I was told and made aware 72 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: that you had no idea about this comedian who made comments. 73 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 3: I still have no idea who is Somebody said there 74 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 3: was a comedian that joked about Puerto Rico or something, 75 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 3: and I have no idea. Who has never saw him, 76 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 3: never heard of him, and don't want to hear of him. 77 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 3: But I have no idea. They put a comedian in 78 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 3: which everybody does. You throw comedians in you don't vet 79 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,119 Speaker 3: them and go crazy. It's nobody's fault. But somebody said 80 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 3: some bad things. Now what they've done is taken somebody 81 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,799 Speaker 3: that has nothing to do with the party, has nothing 82 00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 3: to do with us, said something, and they try to 83 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 3: make a big deal. But I don't know who it is. 84 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 3: I don't even know who put him in, and I 85 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 3: can't imagine it's a big deal. I've done more for 86 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 3: Puerto Rico than any president I think that's ever that's 87 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 3: ever been president. 88 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: Let me just say, as somebody who grew up in 89 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: New Jersey, get the out of here, truly, get the 90 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: out of here. Who would fall for this? Maybe the 91 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: same person that would fall for this. While I am 92 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: running a campaign of positive solutions to save America, Kamala 93 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 1: Harris is running a campaign of eight She has spent 94 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: all week comparing her political opponents to the most evil 95 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: mass murderers in history. Now, on top of everything, Joe 96 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 1: Biden calls our supporters garbage. You can't lead America if 97 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 1: you don't love the American people. Kamala Harris and Joe 98 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: Biden have shown they are both unfit to be president 99 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: of the United States. I am proud to lead the biggest, 100 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: broadest and most important coalition in American history. We are 101 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: welcoming historic numbers of Latinos, African Americans, Asian Americans, and 102 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: citizens of every race, religion, color, and creed. It is 103 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: my desire to be president of all the people. Really, 104 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: anybody who has the capacity to fall for this is 105 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: in danger because they lack the judgment and the common 106 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: sense to process information that is plainly and clearly in 107 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: front of them. The reason that Donald Trump is being 108 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: called a fascist is because Donald Trump is a fascist. 109 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: The reason that people are looking at Donald Trump and 110 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: his hateful rally in comparing it to the Nazi rally 111 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: in nineteen thirty nine is because the same things were said. 112 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 2: At both rallies. 113 00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: Donald Trump did the worst thing that any leader has 114 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: ever done to the American people. He tried to steal 115 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: their vote that was passed down to us on a 116 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: river of blood, of sacrifice by young men who laid 117 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: down their lives so. 118 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 2: We could be free. In the twenty first century. 119 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: Donald Trump has disgraced the country, the ideals of the country, 120 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: the war dead of the country. There is no symbol 121 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: that was too sacred for him to piss on, not 122 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 1: even the gravestones at Arlington National Cemetery were exempt. Kamala 123 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: Harris is precisely right to compare him to what it 124 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: is that he aspires to be, which is a tyrant. 125 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is a fascist. Understands something about Adolf Hitler. 126 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 1: He launched his coup in nineteen twenty three. It took 127 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: nine years to become chancellor after that, and another year 128 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: to become dictator. It took nine years after that for 129 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: the meeting where the Holocaust was planned to commence, which 130 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: was three years after the start of the Second World War. 131 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: It took place at a moment in time when the 132 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: Nazis were winning. When they were losing, they put enormous 133 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: energy into covering up their crimes, trying to hide them. 134 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: But there was a moment when the Nazis were ascended 135 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: in victorious, and they controlled a vast swath of the 136 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: world's territories, and the Jews were being turned into smoke, 137 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: and no one knew. 138 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 2: And if they won, no one would have ever known. 139 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 2: The Jews would. 140 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: Simply have disappeared, to have been resettled somewhere in a paradise, 141 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: no doubt in the east. Donald Trump has lied to 142 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 1: you NonStop, more than forty five thousand times in ten years. 143 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: Pit equals ten lives a day. It's extraordinary. Now, the 144 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: Democratic Party is far from perfect. It's why I spent 145 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: thirty years running Republican campaigns trying to defeat them. But 146 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris said something that is deeply true. And when 147 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: she said it, she picked up the reins, the baton 148 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: that goes back in a long line all the way 149 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: to George Washington, Abraham Lincoln. 150 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 2: She is their successor. 151 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: She holds their legacies in her hands and our destiny 152 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: as a nation, because we will either have a woman 153 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: in the Oval office who believes in us, who believes 154 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: in the Constitution, who is decent, who is moral, or 155 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: we will have a degenerate, a fascist and adjudicated rapist, 156 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: a convicted criminal, surrounded by the lowest common denominator criminals, devians, 157 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: sexual assaulters, alleged rapists. These people aren't just unfit, they're 158 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,839 Speaker 1: a danger to the survival of the Republic. Six days 159 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: from now, nearly one hundred million people will leave their 160 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: homes and line up to cast their vote. There has 161 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: only ever been one person in all of American history 162 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 1: who when the people said no more power for you, 163 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,239 Speaker 1: tried to take their vote away, tried to impose himself 164 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: on the country as a dictator, as a king, as 165 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: an illegitimate leader, because the American people rejected him. And 166 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: now we are called, in a moment of profound choosing 167 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 1: to do it again. We're not being asked to storm 168 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: the Normandy beaches. We're being asked to affirm a faith 169 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: in an idea that's the most important ever put to 170 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: paper by the mind of man. 171 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 2: The Vice President talked about it last night. 172 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 4: We are not a vessel for the schemes of wanna 173 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 4: be dictators. The United States of America is the greatest 174 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 4: idea humanity ever devised. A nation big enough to encompass 175 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:30,319 Speaker 4: all our dreams, strong enough to withstand any fracture or 176 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 4: fissure between us, and fearless enough to imagine a future 177 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 4: of possibilities.
