It is September third, twenty twenty four. Earlier this morning, dawn broke over the coast of Maine on Cadillac Mountain. There are sixty three days remaining until the last American will cast the last vote into twenty twenty four presidential election. One week remains to the first debate between the disgraced President Donald Trump and the Democratic nominee and the Freedom candidate,
Kamala Harris. This is the warning. At first glance, it may seem as if nothing has changed between yesterday and today, but for many tens of millions of Americans, they will notice the imperceptible shifts. Everybody's back at school now. There's a little bit of a chill in the air in most of the country. The days are perceptibly sure will
have warm summer days. But we remember now in this time of the year, the awful attack on September eleventh, two thousand and one, a quarter century behind us, almost but an event that defined a generation and set America on a path to great failure in it overseas wars. We have an opportunity now as a country to move
beyond that era. And what followed. What followed was Donald Trump a reaction to the failed wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the incoherence of American foreign policy, the idea that we should spend trillions building democracies abroad when hours was collapsing in decaying at home. You see, when forty percent of the population doesn't have four hundred dollars, when they're an emergency away from being financially wiped out. The words of a demagogue promising greatness like this man's ring
in their ears. People want community, and what Donald Trump has built over ten years is a maga community. He's created a home for the angry and for the aggrieved. The price of admission is pretty easy. All it takes is an act of capitulation or surrender. All you have to do to be a good maga is ring the bell. If you ring the bell and you let Donald Trump do the worrying for you, you're in. If you let Donald
Trump decide for you what's real and what's not. If you let Donald Trump tell you what's truth and what's not, you get to be a member of the community and you get something great for it. Immunization. Nothing is your fault. Every grievance you have is heroic and justified. Every failure you have is not a sign of losing, but evidence
of conspiracy. And together, this great moving, glatinous blob called MAGA has laid out a proposition for the whole country from a minority perspective, because there will never be more Magas than there are Americans. But what they've said is, we want one man who we believe can fix everything. We want one man. Never Mind he's a fraud and a con man. Never mind that he is nothing at
all like he says he is. Never mind that he's lied forty thousand times in documented public records, never mind that he's an adjudicated rapists, never mind that he's decomposing mentally. We insist that the man who gave us absolution rules your life. That's the proposition on the table. Listen to Donald Trump talk about women at the Magharavs, thanking their men as if we're in Saudi Arabia for allowing them to come alone.
Somebody said women don't like Donald Trump. I said, I think that's wrong. I think they loved me. I love them. I love them. They're wealthy as hell. Look at them, They've got nothing but cash. Their husbands are great, but they allow them to go all over the country. They follow me all over the country.
Let's reverse it. Imagine if he said this to the ladies. Ladies, thank you for letting your men come alone to the Magarelli. Can you imagine what you're hearing is something sinister and weird, but mostly sinister. It's the language of control. And what doesn't Trump get about the charter of the country, which is that liberty and freedom combined create the opportunity for the pursuit of happiness, and the pursuit of happiness for
so many leads to the pursuit of excellence. And that's what Trump doesn't understand because everything has been handed to him in life, and he thinks he has an entitlement to take, and so does JD. Vance thinks he has an entitlement if you're a woman in the country, to tell you what to do, to take your freedom away. The most important thing to understand is that politics matters. It can shape everything around you and change it in
an instant. Donald Trump and JD. Vance want to take something from America's women, and they want to make themselves partners in every decision. All of it is an assault on the American way of life, and the whole world is watching, The whole world is waiting. Will we recommit to our creed to freedom, to the idea that what your neighbors doing in their bedroom is none of your
fucking business. Will we recommit to the idea of tolerance, of minding your own business, of treating everybody with dignity and respect, appreciating that freedom for me means freedom for everyone, and if anyone of the everyone isn't free, it's an
impingement on my freedom as well. This is what it means to be an American, to be tolerant, to appreciate that we have freedoms of speech and religion, and we should be free to be free from fear from our politicians like Trumpet jd Vance, who promise to come and get you for revenge and retribution because you're an enemy. If you're not for them, it is an evil. And what they have come to create in America in the third decade of the twenty first century is a fascist movement.
It is incoherent, it is dishonest, and it is filled with fringe weirdos, political extremists, hangers on and many criminals who have been attracted to the idea that in politics, if we win, we can take as much as we
want and do what we want to our enemy. And because of our broken media, because of the corporate profiteers, because of faithless men who are in each and every way their own version of Trump, and some women also, we have arrived at a most desperate place where, in slightly more than sixty days, a great choice will be made at the end of a great contest a campaign. Kamala Harris is the Democratic nominee for president, but more than that, she is the American candidate. If that word
has any meaning. She would be supported in this election. If they were here by Ronald Reagan and by George Herbert Walker Bush and Dwight Eisenhower and Gerald Ford and Richard Nixon, the Republican Party that was faithful to the flag and to the Constitution would stand with Kamala Harris, who stands beneath the American flag, not a Magabanner, which is its antithesis. Kamala Harris has made clear she wishes
to be president of even the Americans. You disagree with her, she will fight for all of us because she's an American leader, not a factional leader, not a thug leading a tribe which seeks to subordinate all of us under all of them, because they have the power and we don't. Donald Trump is not on your side. Donald Trump doesn't care about you, your children, your grandchildren, your homes, your careers,
your dreams, your aspirations. Donald Trump is a con man, and he's always been one, and he's going to try to sell the greatest con maybe that there's ever been the idea that you were better off four years ago, the idea that he fits in in a mainstream, that he wants to to protect women's reproductive rights, that he wants to stand fast against America's enemies, that he wants to fight for the little guy. He is a desecrator of sacred things, of our flag, of our armed forces.
Maybe it's because he has dementia and he's lost all ability to control himself. And I mean this seriously. There were many people who worried about Joe Biden's age, and I was one of them. But President Biden has never displayed the type of venomous incoherence that Donald Trump has. Let's take a watch.
She destroyed the city of San Francisco. It's and I own a big building there. It's no I shouldn't talk about this, but that's okay. I don't give a damn because this is what I'm doing. I should say it's the finest city in the world selling get the hell out of there, right, But I can't do that. I don't care. You know, I lost billions of dollar. You know. Somebody said, what do you think he lost? I said, probably too the rebellion. That's okay, I don't care. They said,
do you think you do it again? And that's the least of it. Nobody they always say that. I don't know. If you know, Lincoln was horribly treated, Jefferson was pretty horribly Andrew Jackson they say was the worst of all. That he was treated worse than any other president. And I said, do that study again, because I think there's nobody close to Trump.
I even got shot. The stakes of this election are beyond enormous. They are existential. They're existential because there is a man with a plan to assert maximum power under the umbrella of a radical and corrupt Supreme Court that says that's the right of the president. We stand in a dangerous moment, in a dangerous hour. The storm that is common, will eat, consume us or break in front of us, and whether whatever happens happens is entirely up
to the will of a free people. What a moment this is to be alive in America, which is why it's time to do something. The summer has passed, The days will get short quickly. These two months will rocket by. Great events will take place in the world. There will be traumas in the country. We will get to see
the character of both of these candidates. Some out there will say, well, we don't know enough about Kamala Harris, or I wish she got to do more interviews or nothing, Because the truth is it's her or Trump, and he's the most unfit, vile man who's ever held political power in the United States, and his return to it will be a monumental disaster for America. Today's the first day of the fall campaign. It will go quickly. You have a duty as a citizen to be involved in this one.
