1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: Forty one, forty one days to go until the American 2 00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 1: people make a choice that will shape the future of 3 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: the balance of the twenty first century. This is the warning. 4 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: The choice we make in forty one days together as 5 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 1: a country, a nation of three hundred and forty million people, 6 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 1: will impact the lives of scores of tens of millions 7 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: of Americans who aren't born yet. This is something that 8 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 1: should be top of mind if you love your country, 9 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 1: if you care about its continuity. The story of America 10 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: is the story of a people Americans. One of the 11 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 1: oldest stories in American history recounts the day when doctor 12 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: Franklin left Independence Hall during the Constitutional Convention and was 13 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,639 Speaker 1: asked by a woman what it is that had been 14 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: achieved inside. He replied, a republic. If you can keep it. 15 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: The country has kept the republic. Generation to generation has 16 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: handed it down tremendous sacrifice. One of the men that 17 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: Donald Trump venerates is Robert E. Lee. Robert E. Lee's 18 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: house was Arlington House. It was confiscated from him at 19 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 1: the beginning of the Civil War. America's war dead were 20 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: buried there. Today that place is Arlington National Cemetery. To 21 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: a place where Trump a few weeks ago desecrated America's 22 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: war dead on our most hallowed ground. His campaign staff 23 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: assaulted a cemetery employee, a custodian of the reverence and 24 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: the respect of the nation for our fallen and that 25 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: assaulted employee is terrified to press charges. We've come to 26 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: an inflection point. Now the country is voting. Donald Trump 27 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: and his arsonist of choice, JD. Vance are traveling the 28 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: country lying at an industrial scale, which is a primary 29 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: marker of fascism, making up out of whole cloth stories 30 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: designed to inflame, to incite, to make the atmosphere more dangerous, 31 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: to trigger the passions of the crowd, to turn the 32 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: crowd into a mob, whether it's a digital mob or 33 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: a real life one. Trump has learned to build a 34 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: mob like a virtuoso. His rallies are spectacles of anger 35 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: and grievance and hate, where nonsense and ludicrousness flow. 36 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 2: And I'll say it now, you have to get him 37 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 2: the hell out. You have to get him out. I'm sorry. 38 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: To get him out. 39 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 3: Can't have it, can't have it. 40 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 2: They destroyed it. 41 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: Now I'm going to do my best to explain two things, 42 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: the war in Ukraine and Trump's tariff policy. The war 43 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 1: in Ukraine is very simple. Vladimir Putin invaded a sovereign 44 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 1: nation and his criminal army raped the women and kidnapped 45 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: the children and subjugated the people. Now behind me the 46 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: beautiful city of Vancouver, Canada, British Columbia. The equivalent of 47 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: what Vladimir Putin did is if an American president said 48 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: there is no Canada. It doesn't exist. There's only America, 49 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: and there only ever has been on this continent. All 50 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: of the other European powers have been expelled. Canada is 51 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: just a remnant of the British Empire of France's colonial possessions. 52 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: It's the manifestacity of America to control every inch of 53 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: the continent, and we invaded. That's what happened in Ukraine 54 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: and its madness, and it's the role of the United 55 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: States of America to protect its people, which means that 56 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: war cannot expand outside of Ukraine. And what Donald Trump 57 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: proposes is surrendered. From his rally last night, let's listen 58 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: to the idiocy of the Donald when talking about a 59 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: Russian autocrat who's the closest thing Europe has seen to 60 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: an aspiring Hitler in eighty years. 61 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 2: That's what they do is they fight wars. As somebody 62 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 2: told me the other day, they beat Hitler, they beat Napoleon. 63 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 2: That's what they do. They fight, and it's not pleasant. 64 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: This is a dangerous moment for the world that requires 65 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 1: fitness and judgment. Let's watch Donald Trump drool on himself 66 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: and imagine how that would have been covered if Joe 67 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: Biden did it twelve weeks ago. 68 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 2: They want to be here, they want to be but 69 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 2: they were forced to be out because they want to 70 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 2: be here. They want to be but they were forced 71 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 2: to be out because but they were forced to be 72 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 2: out because. 73 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: Over and over again, when Donald Trump speaks, he's lost, 74 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: he's incoherent, he's belligerent, he's threatening, and he's talking nonsense 75 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: about his tariffs. 76 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 2: If you don't make your product here, then you will 77 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 2: have to pay a tariff, a very substantial tariff, when 78 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 2: you send your product into the United States. And by 79 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 2: the way, you know, for years they knocked the word 80 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 2: tariff properly used is a beautiful word, one of the 81 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 2: most beautiful words I've ever heard. Some music to my ears. 82 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 2: A lot of bad people didn't like that word. But 83 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 2: now they're finding out, I was right, and we will 84 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 2: take in hundreds of billions of dollars into our treasury, 85 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 2: and you use that money to benefit the American citizens 86 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 2: and it will not cause inflation. 87 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 1: By the way, imagine if iPhones were made in Canada 88 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: and that in order to buy one in the United States, 89 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 1: it had to be shipped across the border. Trump's plan 90 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: for the iPhone in the economy is to put a 91 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: tariff on any product that comes across a border. So 92 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 1: this phone, let's say, has a forty percent tariff slapped 93 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: on it. Who pays for that? The consumer pays for that. 94 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 1: And that's why tariffs used the way that Trump has 95 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: talked about using them trigger great damage to the economy, 96 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: and about ninety years ago triggered the Great Depression, which 97 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: is when Donald Trump gives a speech talking about his 98 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 1: economic plan, that's in fact what it is, a recipe 99 00:06:54,880 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: for madness. Let's watch Donald celebrate one of the great 100 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,119 Speaker 1: heroines of the movement, the woman who believes above us 101 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: are the Jewish space lasers. An anti semi enemy of 102 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: Laura Lumer, defender of the Maga heart. 103 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 2: A very shy, quiet person doesn't like mixing it up 104 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 2: too much. But she is really highly respected in Washington 105 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 2: and she's fantastic Marjorie Taylor Green. 106 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: And of course, when you're talking about MAGA forty one 107 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: days before the election and the cause, how could this 108 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: man be left out of the equation. 109 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 3: You folks want to focus on tabloid trash, and quite frankly, 110 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 3: I am sick of it. And every time I get 111 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 3: in front of you, I'm going to cut you off 112 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 3: and tell you you need to refocus yourself on the 113 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 3: issues that matter to people. And fifteen year old sensational 114 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 3: lives don't matter to people. 115 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: Here's the warning today, and this is extremely important. There 116 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: has never been in all of history somebody who has 117 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: promised to take revenge against his enemies when they achieve power, 118 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: who when they got the power, didn't deliver on the promise. 119 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: What is it that the American people want peace, prosperity, 120 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: good futures for our families, or do we want this 121 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: assemblage of weirdos and criminals, sexual assaulters and fans of 122 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: New to Africa to take control of your life, your destiny, 123 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: if you're a woman, your body, Who in their right 124 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: mind would vote for that? And yet here we are 125 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 1: this election will be close. If these people win the 126 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: election and take power to execute and administer the laws, 127 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: we will immediately be in a crisis of epic dimension. 128 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: Donald Trump has taken to saying that talking about this, 129 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: the danger he represents, the threats that he's made, the 130 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 1: retributions that he's promised, is hate speech. That's what autocrats 131 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: call the truth hate speech. Or if you tell it, 132 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: they'll say you're sick, or they'll call you corrupt. They'll 133 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: take whatever they can from you. They'll make it hard 134 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: for you to work, to do business, to make money, 135 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: to feed your family, put a roof over your head. 136 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: The whole point is coercion to get in line, to 137 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: shut up, stay silent about the wrongs that are going 138 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: on all around you, because it's the leader's prerogative to 139 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: do what they want. That's not the America any of 140 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: us should ever want, But it's the America that's on 141 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: the line. In forty one days, do you want to 142 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: understand how far the Republican Party has drifted into a 143 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: dreadful swamp where the stink of fascism lingers everywhere. The 144 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: forty first president of the United State Dates was a 145 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: great one and a great man George Herbert Walker Bush. 146 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: Let's listen to him talk about his vision for the 147 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: country at the Republican National Convention in nineteen eighty eight. 148 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 4: From the cities to the suburbs, to the loneliest town 149 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 4: on the quietest street. To take our message of hope 150 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 4: and growth for every American, to every American. I will 151 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 4: keep America moving forward, always forward, for a better America, 152 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 4: for an endless, enduring dream and a thousand points of life. 153 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 4: This is my mission and I will complete it. 154 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: And then let's think about Donald Trump in twenty twenty 155 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: four in Springfield. 156 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 2: They're eating the dogs, the people that came in. They're 157 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 2: eating the cats, they're eating they're eating the pets of 158 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 2: the people that live there. 159 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 1: How on earth did we get from point A to 160 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: point B. But here we are, and it's time to 161 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: get off this path and get back on a different 162 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 1: one that takes this country to that hill where the 163 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: Shining City has always lead. The believers in the country, 164 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 1: from John Winthrop to Ronald Dragon to John Kennedy, have 165 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: always seen that hill.
