WEBVTT - Trump Campaign Is A Sinking Ship

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:04.160
<v Speaker 1>There are eighty four days left until the last American

0:00:04.240 --> 0:00:07.360
<v Speaker 1>will cast a vote in the twenty twenty four election

0:00:07.480 --> 0:00:11.159
<v Speaker 1>that will decide the destiny of the Republic because there

0:00:11.320 --> 0:00:14.640
<v Speaker 1>is a choice on the ballot, and it isn't between

0:00:14.960 --> 0:00:18.840
<v Speaker 1>the man and the woman. It's between an idea that

0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:24.640
<v Speaker 1>is much bigger. It's between freedom and control. This is

0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:30.960
<v Speaker 1>the warning. Kamala Harris, the woman from a Jamaican immigrant

0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:35.559
<v Speaker 1>father and an Indian mother who became a prosecutor, a

0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 1>United States senator, vice president of the United States, the

0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:46.479
<v Speaker 1>Democratic nominee, is the candidate for American freedom, running against

0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:51.320
<v Speaker 1>the real deal, legitimate Orange fascists. Hey, let me just

0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:55.400
<v Speaker 1>say America will never be ready for an Orange president

0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:59.000
<v Speaker 1>ever again. The fact of the matter is that Donald

0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Trump is melting down. His ego has been incinerated. And

0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:07.360
<v Speaker 1>this is important to remember. There is no flower in

0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:10.800
<v Speaker 1>all the world more delicate than the male ego. And

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:15.840
<v Speaker 1>amongst all of the world's most delicate flowers, there is

0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:21.240
<v Speaker 1>no petal, nothing so fragile as the Trump bloom. And

0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:25.839
<v Speaker 1>the bloom is off that turn, so to speak, Donald

0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Trump was measuring the drapes. The apigy of his campaign

0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:37.080
<v Speaker 1>was the exact moment cynicism decided to show us in

0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:42.279
<v Speaker 1>resplendent glory. All that's achievable when you put nothing ahead

0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:46.319
<v Speaker 1>of principle except your ego in the bottom line, And

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:50.320
<v Speaker 1>of course, I'm talking about billionaire loudmouth know it all,

0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 1>the most unctious American, Bill Lackman, now the valuable billionaire,

0:01:56.400 --> 0:02:00.040
<v Speaker 1>told us he would soon reveal to us why it

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 1>is that he endores Trump. Now, of course, Bill Ackman

0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:10.080
<v Speaker 1>is a genius investor, made billions of dollars self made

0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:13.920
<v Speaker 1>because he made good picks. But when it comes to politics,

0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 1>being good at one thing isn't an indicator at being

0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:21.920
<v Speaker 1>good as well connection to the American people, to real life,

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:26.200
<v Speaker 1>to real happenings. And so Bill Ackman in the moment

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:30.760
<v Speaker 1>that Donald Trump seemed unbeatable through in and he promised

0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:33.600
<v Speaker 1>us to treat us. And so, according to the New

0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:36.960
<v Speaker 1>York Times, there was Bill Ackman sitting next to Donald Trump.

0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:40.359
<v Speaker 1>I wonder what they talked about. Did Bill ask Donald

0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:42.880
<v Speaker 1>what's it like to grab the woman by the pussy?

0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:45.360
<v Speaker 1>Did he ask him what it's like to rape somebody?

0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:48.800
<v Speaker 1>What it's like to go through fellony booking? What's it

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:53.440
<v Speaker 1>like to ask if the military could fire on peaceful protesters.

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Did he ask why it is that Donald Trump didn't

0:02:56.360 --> 0:03:00.600
<v Speaker 1>want a wounded American warrior around him. Did he asked

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:04.320
<v Speaker 1>why he couldn't be bothered to go pay homage at

0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:08.240
<v Speaker 1>an American cemetery in France. No, he didn't ask him

0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:10.440
<v Speaker 1>about any of those things. He didn't ask him why

0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:13.639
<v Speaker 1>he said there's good people on both sides. He didn't

0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 1>ask him why he dined with the neo Nazi Nick Flantes.

0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:21.000
<v Speaker 1>What he did was he evaluated to return, like a

0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:24.920
<v Speaker 1>lot of people. And now that ship is sinking. It's

0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:29.320
<v Speaker 1>appropriate that Donald Trump would put the anthem from the

0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:34.440
<v Speaker 1>movie Titanic at his campaign rally, because that's precisely what's happening.

0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 1>He's going down, it's sinking, and now Trump is retreating.

0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:42.200
<v Speaker 1>They've given up on August. They'll make their stand in September,

0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:46.240
<v Speaker 1>after the successful Democratic Convention. They'll be six to eight

0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:51.880
<v Speaker 1>points behind, a massive, massive deficit. But Trump will have

0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:55.240
<v Speaker 1>a good day. He will get the ball back. Events

0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:58.040
<v Speaker 1>will make it so. It's all part of the test,

0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:02.680
<v Speaker 1>the character test that Kamala Harris is passing so brilliantly,

0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:09.840
<v Speaker 1>so phenomenally in her exquisite month as the presumptive Democratic nominee.

0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:12.440
<v Speaker 1>For the first time in a long time, there is

0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:16.400
<v Speaker 1>somebody who can articulate to the American people the promise

0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:20.760
<v Speaker 1>in the premise of better. And it's important because politics

0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:24.520
<v Speaker 1>is about better, doing better. And there is a force

0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:27.800
<v Speaker 1>in the country that is attached to a movement that

0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:31.280
<v Speaker 1>has flared up and been stamped out, and flared up

0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:35.880
<v Speaker 1>again and been stamped down. Its antecedents are the Confederacy,

0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:40.320
<v Speaker 1>the ku Klux Klan, the America First Movement, the Booned,

0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:45.840
<v Speaker 1>all of the forces that have made declarations that their creed,

0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:50.440
<v Speaker 1>that their race, that there whatever makes them somehow a

0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:54.359
<v Speaker 1>superior American who can trample on the rights of others

0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:58.520
<v Speaker 1>and take as much as they want. These people have

0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:03.680
<v Speaker 1>always existed in American life. They have always been our

0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:08.960
<v Speaker 1>new monarchs in waiting, the dukes in search of their king.

0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Elon Musk is one of these people. Despite all the

0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 1>riches in the world, he wants more and they want

0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 1>to take it from you. They want to take the

0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:22.039
<v Speaker 1>most elementary things, like truth, because if you can look

0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:25.559
<v Speaker 1>somebody in the face and lie to them, tell them

0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 1>that you were in a helicopter crash that you weren't

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:33.000
<v Speaker 1>and make them believe it. You've stolen their dignity. It's

0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:36.479
<v Speaker 1>a terrible thing, but we've seen it play out. That's

0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:39.919
<v Speaker 1>what trump Ism is. It is a surrender to a

0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:45.920
<v Speaker 1>culture personality that requires submission. Joining MAGA is an easy thing.

0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:49.760
<v Speaker 1>All you have to do is give up independent thought,

0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:54.040
<v Speaker 1>independent thinking. If the party tells you there's four fingers,

0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:58.719
<v Speaker 1>even though you see three. Admission is easy. Just say four.

0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:03.839
<v Speaker 1>Make the compromise, make the accommodation. Do it. That's how

0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:07.560
<v Speaker 1>you get ahead. Trade in every conviction, every principle, right,

0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:12.200
<v Speaker 1>like JD. Vance. Well, let's have a test. The person

0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:15.080
<v Speaker 1>who will win this election is going to be the

0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:18.599
<v Speaker 1>better person, because the American people are good people, and

0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.840
<v Speaker 1>the American people want a decent president, not a rapist,

0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:25.480
<v Speaker 1>not a convicted fellow, not Donald Trump, the worst president

0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:30.120
<v Speaker 1>in American history. Soon the entire country will be focused

0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:36.120
<v Speaker 1>when Vice President Harris accepts the Democratic nomination, like John Kennedy,

0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:41.080
<v Speaker 1>like Lyndon Johnson, like James Earl Carter, like Bill Clinton,

0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:46.520
<v Speaker 1>like Barack Obama, like Joe Biden, like Franklin Roosevelt, and

0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:52.560
<v Speaker 1>Harry Truman. Vice President Kamala Harris has been touched by

0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:56.960
<v Speaker 1>that hand of destiny. Dwight Eisenhower was a lieutenant colonel

0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:59.279
<v Speaker 1>in the Army on the eve of the Second World

0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:03.440
<v Speaker 1>War and it touched him. Martin Luther King was in

0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:08.240
<v Speaker 1>his twenties when it touched him. It's touched Kamala Harris.

0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:11.080
<v Speaker 1>She's a star now in the center of the ring.

0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:16.040
<v Speaker 1>And man, oh man, is she shining bright. It's an

0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:20.200
<v Speaker 1>American star. It's red, white and blue, and it stands

0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:23.960
<v Speaker 1>opposed to the dogmas and the doctrines of control and

0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:29.040
<v Speaker 1>taking that says a political party, and politicians can say

0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:33.120
<v Speaker 1>to a woman in a free country, when you can

0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 1>get pregnant, what you can do with that pregnancy, what

0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:39.520
<v Speaker 1>type of birth control you can take, and when you

0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:42.640
<v Speaker 1>can take it? That will lie and lie some more

0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:46.440
<v Speaker 1>about issues big and small. For power. They can't be

0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:50.280
<v Speaker 1>trusted because they broke the trust. When Donald Trump lost

0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:54.480
<v Speaker 1>in an election, he incited an insurrection. He's a shameful

0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:59.080
<v Speaker 1>man who's done despicable things, but none worse than the

0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:03.440
<v Speaker 1>desecration of his presidential oath. It is an act of ignominy,

0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:08.400
<v Speaker 1>and soon judgment day will be at hand. Kamala Harris

0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:12.480
<v Speaker 1>will stand for the American way of life, the idea

0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:16.920
<v Speaker 1>that the people are sovereign, and we decide who has

0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:23.320
<v Speaker 1>temporary power with great limits attached. That's the question at hand,

0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:26.400
<v Speaker 1>and we'll settle it up eighty four days from now.

0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Between now and then, there'll be ups and downs, hills

0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:34.920
<v Speaker 1>and valleys. Keep a steady strain, get involved, make phone calls,

0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:40.160
<v Speaker 1>write postcards, write checks, do what you can. You must

0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:47.040
<v Speaker 1>do something. Citizenship requires your activity. Eighty four days to go.

0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:52.760
