1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,160 Speaker 1: There are eighty four days left until the last American 2 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 1: will cast a vote in the twenty twenty four election 3 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:11,159 Speaker 1: that will decide the destiny of the Republic because there 4 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: is a choice on the ballot, and it isn't between 5 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: the man and the woman. It's between an idea that 6 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 1: is much bigger. It's between freedom and control. This is 7 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: the warning. Kamala Harris, the woman from a Jamaican immigrant 8 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:35,559 Speaker 1: father and an Indian mother who became a prosecutor, a 9 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: United States senator, vice president of the United States, the 10 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 1: Democratic nominee, is the candidate for American freedom, running against 11 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: the real deal, legitimate Orange fascists. Hey, let me just 12 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: say America will never be ready for an Orange president 13 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: ever again. The fact of the matter is that Donald 14 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: Trump is melting down. His ego has been incinerated. And 15 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: this is important to remember. There is no flower in 16 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: all the world more delicate than the male ego. And 17 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: amongst all of the world's most delicate flowers, there is 18 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: no petal, nothing so fragile as the Trump bloom. And 19 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,839 Speaker 1: the bloom is off that turn, so to speak, Donald 20 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: Trump was measuring the drapes. The apigy of his campaign 21 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: was the exact moment cynicism decided to show us in 22 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:42,279 Speaker 1: resplendent glory. All that's achievable when you put nothing ahead 23 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: of principle except your ego in the bottom line, And 24 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: of course, I'm talking about billionaire loudmouth know it all, 25 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: the most unctious American, Bill Lackman, now the valuable billionaire, 26 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,040 Speaker 1: told us he would soon reveal to us why it 27 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: is that he endores Trump. Now, of course, Bill Ackman 28 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 1: is a genius investor, made billions of dollars self made 29 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 1: because he made good picks. But when it comes to politics, 30 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: being good at one thing isn't an indicator at being 31 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 1: good as well connection to the American people, to real life, 32 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: to real happenings. And so Bill Ackman in the moment 33 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump seemed unbeatable through in and he promised 34 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: us to treat us. And so, according to the New 35 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: York Times, there was Bill Ackman sitting next to Donald Trump. 36 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: I wonder what they talked about. Did Bill ask Donald 37 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: what's it like to grab the woman by the pussy? 38 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 1: Did he ask him what it's like to rape somebody? 39 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: What it's like to go through fellony booking? What's it 40 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: like to ask if the military could fire on peaceful protesters. 41 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: Did he ask why it is that Donald Trump didn't 42 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: want a wounded American warrior around him. Did he asked 43 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: why he couldn't be bothered to go pay homage at 44 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: an American cemetery in France. No, he didn't ask him 45 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: about any of those things. He didn't ask him why 46 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 1: he said there's good people on both sides. He didn't 47 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: ask him why he dined with the neo Nazi Nick Flantes. 48 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: What he did was he evaluated to return, like a 49 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: lot of people. And now that ship is sinking. It's 50 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: appropriate that Donald Trump would put the anthem from the 51 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: movie Titanic at his campaign rally, because that's precisely what's happening. 52 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: He's going down, it's sinking, and now Trump is retreating. 53 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: They've given up on August. They'll make their stand in September, 54 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: after the successful Democratic Convention. They'll be six to eight 55 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: points behind, a massive, massive deficit. But Trump will have 56 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: a good day. He will get the ball back. Events 57 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: will make it so. It's all part of the test, 58 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: the character test that Kamala Harris is passing so brilliantly, 59 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: so phenomenally in her exquisite month as the presumptive Democratic nominee. 60 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: For the first time in a long time, there is 61 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: somebody who can articulate to the American people the promise 62 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: in the premise of better. And it's important because politics 63 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: is about better, doing better. And there is a force 64 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: in the country that is attached to a movement that 65 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 1: has flared up and been stamped out, and flared up 66 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: again and been stamped down. Its antecedents are the Confederacy, 67 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: the ku Klux Klan, the America First Movement, the Booned, 68 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: all of the forces that have made declarations that their creed, 69 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: that their race, that there whatever makes them somehow a 70 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 1: superior American who can trample on the rights of others 71 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: and take as much as they want. These people have 72 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: always existed in American life. They have always been our 73 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: new monarchs in waiting, the dukes in search of their king. 74 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: Elon Musk is one of these people. Despite all the 75 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: riches in the world, he wants more and they want 76 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: to take it from you. They want to take the 77 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 1: most elementary things, like truth, because if you can look 78 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,559 Speaker 1: somebody in the face and lie to them, tell them 79 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: that you were in a helicopter crash that you weren't 80 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: and make them believe it. You've stolen their dignity. It's 81 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: a terrible thing, but we've seen it play out. That's 82 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 1: what trump Ism is. It is a surrender to a 83 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: culture personality that requires submission. Joining MAGA is an easy thing. 84 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: All you have to do is give up independent thought, 85 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: independent thinking. If the party tells you there's four fingers, 86 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 1: even though you see three. Admission is easy. Just say four. 87 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: Make the compromise, make the accommodation. Do it. That's how 88 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: you get ahead. Trade in every conviction, every principle, right, 89 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: like JD. Vance. Well, let's have a test. The person 90 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: who will win this election is going to be the 91 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: better person, because the American people are good people, and 92 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: the American people want a decent president, not a rapist, 93 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: not a convicted fellow, not Donald Trump, the worst president 94 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: in American history. Soon the entire country will be focused 95 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: when Vice President Harris accepts the Democratic nomination, like John Kennedy, 96 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: like Lyndon Johnson, like James Earl Carter, like Bill Clinton, 97 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: like Barack Obama, like Joe Biden, like Franklin Roosevelt, and 98 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: Harry Truman. Vice President Kamala Harris has been touched by 99 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: that hand of destiny. Dwight Eisenhower was a lieutenant colonel 100 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 1: in the Army on the eve of the Second World 101 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: War and it touched him. Martin Luther King was in 102 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: his twenties when it touched him. It's touched Kamala Harris. 103 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: She's a star now in the center of the ring. 104 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: And man, oh man, is she shining bright. It's an 105 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: American star. It's red, white and blue, and it stands 106 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: opposed to the dogmas and the doctrines of control and 107 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: taking that says a political party, and politicians can say 108 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: to a woman in a free country, when you can 109 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: get pregnant, what you can do with that pregnancy, what 110 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: type of birth control you can take, and when you 111 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: can take it? That will lie and lie some more 112 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: about issues big and small. For power. They can't be 113 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: trusted because they broke the trust. When Donald Trump lost 114 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: in an election, he incited an insurrection. He's a shameful 115 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: man who's done despicable things, but none worse than the 116 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: desecration of his presidential oath. It is an act of ignominy, 117 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: and soon judgment day will be at hand. Kamala Harris 118 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: will stand for the American way of life, the idea 119 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: that the people are sovereign, and we decide who has 120 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: temporary power with great limits attached. That's the question at hand, 121 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: and we'll settle it up eighty four days from now. 122 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: Between now and then, there'll be ups and downs, hills 123 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: and valleys. Keep a steady strain, get involved, make phone calls, 124 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: write postcards, write checks, do what you can. You must 125 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: do something. Citizenship requires your activity. Eighty four days to go. 126 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: This is the warning.
