1 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:15,920 Hello everyone, this is Michael Moore. 2 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,640 Welcome to my podcast. What a week this has been. 3 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:27,320 I hope you are as overjoyed, overwhelmed as I am seeing the 4 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:32,680 response to the incredibly brave and correct decision that 5 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,880 President Biden made. Thank you, President Biden, for 6 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:40,040 listening to us. We care deeply for you the night 7 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:44,640 of that debate. And at least on my part, I did 8 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,440 not want to see you have to suffer through this any longer. 9 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,000 You've done too much good and have been there for this 10 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,480 country. You are our most progressive 11 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,800 president ever. And we're going to have to work 12 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:06,960 out what happened here with Gaza and Netanyahu and fix this mess. 13 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,320 I'm sure you will participate in that. 14 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,440 I'm sure you have some ideas. And this has to happen. 15 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,920 I know you know that. And thank you for not giving up 16 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:24,200 on it or us or the people in the Middle East. 17 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:31,720 So, my friends, 100 days from today is November 5th, Election 18 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:38,080 Day. 100 days from today. I mean, I have to ask, he's 19 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,200 probably not listening, but does Trump even know what happened? 20 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,640 This week it took just five days. 21 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,240 This week, it took just five days. 22 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,160 Nothing like it had ever happened before in American 23 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,560 history. And yet, by this past Thursday, 24 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:02,680 a mere five days after President Biden's 1:46 PM Sunday afternoon 25 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,880 announcement of him ending his re election campaign and handing 26 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:13,720 the candidacy over to his Vice President Kamala Harris, just 27 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,440 five days. And that's all it took for the 28 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,760 Wall Street Journal on Thursday. You know the Wall Street 29 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,440 Journal, right? No friend to women, people of 30 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:30,320 color, young voters, the poor, the working class, the Wall 31 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,840 Street Journal, this grand Oracle of capitalism, 32 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:40,200 conservative ideology and the force that is Rupert Murdoch. 33 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:47,280 That newspaper ran this stunning historic headline. 34 00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:52,720 And I mean, I looked at it and I said, wow, this is one for the 35 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,160 ages. Ready for it? 36 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:02,320 This is all it said. Harris erases Trump's lead. 37 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:10,120 WSJ poll finds Harris erases Trump's lead. 38 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,920 That's how long it took. Five days. 39 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:23,360 Kamala Harris, the daughter of Jamaican and Indian immigrants, 40 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:29,280 2 genius parents, 1A Stanford economist, the other a brilliant 41 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:35,160 Berkeley scientist, both of them active in the 1960s civil rights 42 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,080 movement. It's actually where they met, 43 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:46,080 protesting for civil rights, participating in their beloved 44 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:53,080 adopted country, the United States of America, and proud to 45 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,520 have their children amongst the 1st to integrate a public school 46 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,160 in California. Yes, those were the parents of 47 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:08,120 Kamala Harris and her sister. But now it's 2024, and this 48 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:13,520 Kamala Harris last Sunday was accepting the all but certain 49 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,000 nomination to be the Democratic Party candidate for President of 50 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:23,120 the United States and, it should be noted, the chance to become 51 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:28,080 the first woman ever to hold this esteemed office. 52 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,360 Yes, that was just one week ago. Can you believe this? 53 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:39,840 A euphoric nation exploded in a joyful belief that finally the 54 00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:45,000 promise of the American Dream was no longer just a promise nor 55 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:51,720 a dream, but a roaring reality that immediately took off like a 56 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,760 rocket. And each day this week has set a 57 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,880 new record for any presidential campaign ever. 58 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,400 Let me just give you the list of a few of these records from this 59 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,880 week. There was a record smashing 60 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:12,640 surge of volunteers across all the key swing States and a total 61 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:19,120 of 170,000 volunteers signing up throughout the nation. 62 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:24,720 They're still coming in. It was also the biggest one day 63 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,560 haul of campaign contributions ever and 60% of those 64 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:33,000 contributions to Harris were from first time donors. 65 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:41,680 The total overall take this week is more than $350 million as of 66 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,640 today. We also this week saw the 67 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,320 largest Zoom call ever for a campaign meeting. 68 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,200 OK, this was a Harris. You know, you just call and be 69 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,040 part of the Zoom if you want to be part of the campaign. 70 00:05:56,840 --> 00:06:01,840 There were 160,000 participants on this Zoom. 71 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,000 I mean, my computer screen only holds about 140,000 little 72 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,400 squares of everybody. No, I'm kidding. 73 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,440 There's no, but they kept, they, they worked with Zoom and they 74 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:19,840 got them to keep adding more and more of whatever you need to add 75 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:25,400 to their servers. Also this week we had the most 76 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:32,200 people ever to register to vote over a 48 hour period. 40,000 77 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,120 people registered to vote in those first two days at the 78 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,400 beginning of the week, and of the convention delegates within 79 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:45,200 just three days, 85% of the delegates, that's was about 3400 80 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,920 of them, endorsed Harris after she'd only been a candidate, as 81 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,040 I said, for three days. And this was a full four weeks 82 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,240 before the convention was even supposed to start. 83 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,400 Wow. Look, historians and political 84 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,480 scientists, if you've had the TV on or reading about it, they all 85 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:11,120 agree that this level of enthusiasm, this quickly is 86 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,640 unheard of in modern American politics. 87 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,520 And, of course, Trump is furious. 88 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,600 He said he's planning to sue to, quote, keep Harris off the 89 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,520 ballot. He says this was a big 90 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,240 switcheroo. I planned my whole campaign that 91 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,440 I was going to be going up against Biden, and now they pull 92 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:37,360 this. Yeah, Donald, that's how the 93 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:45,920 world works. On top of it, not you're going 94 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:50,200 to keep Harris off the ballot. Well, good luck with that, 95 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,240 because it won't work. Apparently. 96 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,760 Somewhere along the way, Trump Van Winkle must have fallen into 97 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:01,720 a deep sleep and missed the memo that many white men like him 98 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,240 also seem to miss, it reads. It read something like this. 99 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,680 America is no longer your America. 100 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:14,040 You, the members of the exclusive club for the gender 101 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,360 that's missing the second X chromosome, you know, the one 102 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,320 that makes you prone to war, violent outburst, something 103 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:26,360 called mansplaining, harassing the other gender, dying on 104 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:32,159 average six years before that other gender, and yet still 105 00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:36,480 holding the majority of the wealth, the property, the tee 106 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:42,559 times, and most of the seats in Congress, 72% of those seats 107 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,400 currently are in the hands of men. 108 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,440 That America, my friends, is being shown the door. 109 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,160 Here's what the new America looks like. 110 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,840 Just just listen to these statistics. 79% of the United 111 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,400 States is either female, that's 51% of the country. 112 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:08,320 Persons of color, that's 42% of the country or young adults 113 00:09:08,560 --> 00:09:13,080 between the ages of 18 and 39, and they make up 42% of the 114 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,680 country. So it's either one of those 3 115 00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:18,640 demographics you belong to or two of them, or maybe all three 116 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,880 of them. Some combination of all that 117 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,680 gives us 79% of the country right now is either female, 118 00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:31,800 young, or a person of color or a combination of those 3. 119 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:39,840 My friends, this country is female, it's young, and it's not 120 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:44,440 so white anymore. Now, of course, hearing it 121 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,240 described that way. And don't worry guys, I'm, I'm 122 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,680 not leaving you out of this. I'm just saying that that's the 123 00:09:50,680 --> 00:09:55,080 country we live in now, and it's really not the best place to run 124 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,800 for president if your three main personality traits are misogyny, 125 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,520 bigotry and sounding like everyone's Uncle Don. 126 00:10:06,680 --> 00:10:11,040 Oh, and there's also this. You want to know the truth about 127 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,800 who your fellow Americans really are? 128 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:19,320 I've pulled this together from all the various Gallup polls, 129 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:24,320 Associated Press, CNN. Just listen to these statistics 130 00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:27,920 because they don't promote this a lot in the media. 131 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,440 This is who your fellow Americans are, my friends. 132 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:37,200 This is the country you live in. 69% of Americans support legal 133 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:42,120 abortion. 72% of Americans don't own a gun. 134 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:50,760 Wow. 90% of the country wants more gun control laws, 90%. 135 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,520 So that's Democrats, Republicans, independents. 136 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:59,200 That's the country we live in. 72% of us believe that the 137 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:06,000 climate crisis is real. 71% of all Americans approve of Labor 138 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:12,520 unions. Wow. 79% of us insist that the 139 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:19,680 rich must pay more in taxes. 76% of us want a much higher minimum 140 00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:26,120 wage. 70% of all voters in this country believe marijuana should 141 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:32,440 be legal. 73% of the country want student loan debt relief. 142 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:39,840 74% of Americans want more affordable homes. 65% support 143 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:46,840 term limits on all Supreme Court justices. 84% of Americans want 144 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:55,040 free pre-K and 3K for their youngsters. 69% of Americans 145 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,640 support same sex marriage. 65% of Americans want to end the 146 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:04,160 Electoral College. 89% of Americans oppose gerrymandering. 147 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:10,320 70% of us are demanding a permanent ceasefire in Gaza now. 148 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:20,160 72% of Americans want money removed from politics and 70% of 149 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:25,480 millennials say they would likely vote for a socialist 150 00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:33,680 candidate. 70% of millennials. That is who we are. 151 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:40,800 Mr. Trump, how do you expect to win when what you believe in is 152 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,880 the opposite of what more than 2/3 of the country believes in? 153 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:51,120 On these 18 top issues I've just gone over, you're you're running 154 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:56,560 a campaign as a right wing wackadoodle in a country that 155 00:12:56,560 --> 00:13:01,800 has seriously moved to the left. The majority of Americans hate 156 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,640 what you stand for. Just look at those poll numbers 157 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,400 I've just given you. Those percentages didn't come 158 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,280 from me. They come from Gallup, The 159 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:17,080 Associated Press, Pew Research, various networks. 160 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,680 They come from the American people. 161 00:13:23,560 --> 00:13:27,120 And finally, one last powerful fact. 162 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:34,680 The Republican for President on the ballot has lost the popular 163 00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:39,840 vote in seven of the last 8 presidential elections. 164 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:46,520 Wow. Since 1988, the American people 165 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:51,080 have made it abundantly clear they don't want a Republican 166 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:58,120 running the show. Only once in those 36 years did 167 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,720 the American people say, yeah, well let's let a Republican in 168 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,280 there for four years and that was an O4 with only and there 169 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:08,720 was the only one by one state, Ohio by 100,000 votes. 170 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,640 Overwhelmingly, the people vote for the Democrat on the ballot 171 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,880 to be in the White House to represent them in the US Senate, 172 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,800 where there's no gerrymandering in those Senate elections 173 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,120 because the entire state votes. No map is drawn. 174 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,640 The only reason that we were ever stuck with George W Bush 175 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,040 and Donald Trump is because the Founders created the Electoral 176 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,880 College in order to appease the slave States and try to avoid a 177 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:43,080 civil war. And well, you know, that seemed 178 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,760 to work out OK. But here's the kicker. 179 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,280 The majority of these three massive groups, I just went over 180 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:56,440 the three demographic groups, Young people, women, people of 181 00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,920 color. They vote for the Democrat in 182 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:05,560 nearly every single election. 51% of all women vote 183 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:11,320 Democratic, 61% of all young people vote Democratic, and 83% 184 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,520 of all African Americans vote Democratic. 185 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,240 So those three groups, in a combination of all their 186 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:23,800 demographics, make up about 79% now of the population. 187 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:30,320 And while 60% of the white guys over 45 will indeed vote for 188 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:35,680 Trump, don't worry about it. First of all, 40% of those white 189 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,560 guys won't. That means potentially another 190 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:44,160 14,000,000 white dude votes for Kamala Harris. 191 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,960 So what's the take away here? It's quite simple. 192 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,760 Are you ready? I'll I'll say it slow in case 193 00:15:53,760 --> 00:16:00,200 you want to write this down. There are more of us than there 194 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:05,800 are of them. We are now the majority. 195 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:11,920 We America is now a liberal nation. 196 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,320 Doesn't matter. From abortion to climate to the 197 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,400 economy to the millennials who would vote for a socialist, 198 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,320 That's who we are now. And we're going to elect the 199 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,680 first woman, a black woman no less, to be the president of the 200 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:34,320 United States. So what could possibly go wrong? 201 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,160 I know, right? Typical question that any 202 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,800 liberal should ask themselves in this country. 203 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:43,800 I'll tell you what could go wrong. 204 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:48,080 The only way that Trump can win in November is if liberals and 205 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:52,920 Democrats stay home. But why would that happen? 206 00:16:54,040 --> 00:17:00,160 Well, the unthinkable, A certain skill set that many Democrats 207 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,800 have repeated ad infinitum would have to take place. 208 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,880 This, of course, what I'm going to list these things. 209 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,720 It's probably our greatest fear because we've seen it happen so 210 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,280 many times. So much disappointment. 211 00:17:16,079 --> 00:17:20,119 I'll just give you 4 examples of how this could go South. 212 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:26,040 For instance, if the candidate, in this case Kamala Harris, 213 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:31,240 suddenly starts taking centrist positions in order not to offend 214 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:37,440 anyone, yet in doing so she ends up offending everyone, That is 215 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,280 the majority of Americans who are, as I've just pointed out, 216 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:46,840 our liberal left and progressive women, people of color, young 217 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:51,720 people and the working class. Well, let me just give you my 218 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,400 take on this. That is not going to happen. 219 00:17:55,680 --> 00:18:04,680 She is not going to do that. Or here's another example. 220 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:11,800 If Harris continues Biden's embrace of Netanyahu and 221 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,320 America's funding of and the arming of the slaughter in Gaza, 222 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,840 this will hand the state of Michigan over to Trump and that 223 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:26,040 will put him in the White House. Michigan has 200,000 registered 224 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:31,520 Muslim voters and 300,000 Michiganders of Middle Eastern 225 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:38,880 or North African descent. Well, I think one way to fix 226 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:43,960 things in Michigan would be for Vice President Harris and her 227 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:49,000 running mate to make a major announcement in Detroit on a 228 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:55,560 stage with numerous area Arab Americans, Muslims, and leaders 229 00:18:55,680 --> 00:19:02,040 of a wide-ranging coalition of Jewish peace groups To offer her 230 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:07,640 action plan as to what she and Biden can do right now to keep 231 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,920 their initial promise to Netanyahu. 232 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:15,720 What they told him that if he uses American tax dollars or 233 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:20,600 weapons to violate international law and human rights, such 234 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:25,160 assistance from the US will be withheld. 235 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,920 In fact, this is exactly what Biden said to Beebe in October. 236 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:39,640 When America experienced the hell of 9/11, we felt enraged as 237 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:46,360 well, and we made mistakes. So I cautioned the government of 238 00:19:46,360 --> 00:19:50,560 Israel not to be blinded by rage. 239 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:59,760 In other words, his warning to Netanyahu was do not do what we 240 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:10,200 did to Iraq and to ourselves. Netanyahu then did the opposite 241 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,800 of what Biden warned him not to do. 242 00:20:14,120 --> 00:20:17,800 And after each. Israeli round of carpet 243 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:22,440 bombings, obliterating hospitals, schools, child care 244 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,840 centers, refugee camps with hundreds and then thousands of 245 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,240 Palestinian bodies piled higher and higher. 246 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:36,600 Biden would admonish Netanyahu and tell him that we were going 247 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,080 to have to cease supplying him with an unlimited supply of 248 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,440 American tax dollars and weapons. 249 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:50,320 And then each time, President Biden, already in obvious 250 00:20:50,360 --> 00:20:57,080 decline, seemed not to know what to do or how to handle the 251 00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:01,520 horror he had personally unleashed on the good people of 252 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:07,000 Palestine. And so it continues to this day. 253 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,960 Or here's another thing that could happen. 254 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,640 Vice President Harris appoints Josh Shapiro as her vice 255 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,320 presidential candidate, and this too may result in losing 256 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:26,760 Michigan. Shapiro said that it's, quote, 257 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,480 anti-Semitic for anyone to join the Boycott, Divestment and 258 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,040 sanctions movement against Israel in order to convince them 259 00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:36,320 to stop their apartheid behavior. 260 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,560 He has also cruelly compared the peaceful college students to the 261 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,960 Ku Klux Klan because they were calling for an end to the 262 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,760 slaughter in Gaza. Actions like these will diminish 263 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:53,360 the Arab American vote for Harris and depress a large swath 264 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,520 of the youth vote throughout the country. 265 00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,280 I really hope somebody is listening to me right now. 266 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:07,280 As Michelle Goldberg of the New York Times has written, Biden is 267 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:12,160 in danger of losing Michigan and with it, the whole election. 268 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:20,200 Also, more than two dozen public education advocacy groups have 269 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,960 asked Vice President Harris not to choose Shapiro as her running 270 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,800 mate because, as they stated in their letter to her on 271 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:32,920 Wednesday, we respectfully ask you not to select Pennsylvania 272 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:37,680 Governor Josh Shapiro, who has supported education policies 273 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:46,480 mirroring Project 2025. As we Michiganders, as you may 274 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:51,280 know, remember we gave you the world, We gave you Trump, 275 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:56,600 Education Secretary Betsy DeVos. So we are especially concerned 276 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,520 about even the slightest whittling away of our public 277 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:04,280 schools. And we too ask Vice President 278 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:08,840 Harris, respectfully to pick a running mate who is 1,000,000 279 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,360 miles away from any of these efforts. 280 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,760 And finally, should Harris decide to do the bidding of the 281 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,880 wealthy who are now lining up with big checks so they can try 282 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:26,040 to control her, this would clearly put her on the side 283 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,640 against workers and consumers. Here's a case in point. 284 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:35,040 This week, Reed Hoffman, the founder of LinkedIn, gave her 285 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:41,080 $7,000,000. What will he want for his money? 286 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,240 He's already actually stated what he wants, a quid pro quo. 287 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,920 He wants the removal of one of Biden's best appointments, the 288 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,400 head of the Federal Trade Commission, Lena Khan. 289 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,680 She is on a mission to break up the monopolies and to police 290 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,760 corporate America in the hopes of stopping them from doing more 291 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,080 harm. Hoffman and other big money 292 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:13,000 donors want to stop her. Hoffman has no shame in stating 293 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:17,320 what he expects in return for a $7,000,000 donation to the 294 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:22,760 Harris campaign quote, I would hope that Vice President Harris 295 00:24:23,120 --> 00:24:27,920 would replace the head of the Federal Trade Commission. 296 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:36,120 Will Harris do what she is told? I don't think so. 297 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:44,000 My hope is no, absolutely not. But as many have said, the 298 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:48,040 Democrats are pros at snatching defeat out of the jaws of 299 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:53,000 victory. Yet as I see it, that's the only 300 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,480 way we can lose. If too many people sense it's 301 00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,080 the same old political Hoo ha, you know, the the Democratic 302 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:06,640 Party and doing their same old thing, then the vote for the 303 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,640 Democratic Party in November will be seriously depressed. 304 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,680 Millions will stay stuck in their despair. 305 00:25:13,360 --> 00:25:17,320 And all of this could lead to a Trump victory. 306 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:26,280 This must not happen. The overwhelming jolt of joy 307 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:30,200 from this last week must continue, but with action. 308 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:37,000 And that is where you and I come in, in my next podcast. 309 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:42,160 Over the next few days, I'll come back to you here and I'll 310 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:49,400 reveal to you a blueprint playbook, a battle plan for what 311 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:54,520 we millions, the majority, must do over these next 100 days. 312 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,800 I think, I think you're going to like this. 313 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,360 It includes simple things that we all can do. 314 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:07,400 It'll be fun, you'll meet new friends, there's door prizes, 315 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:14,600 you might become a local hero, and we're all going to party 316 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:43,560 like it's 2029.

Man, it's been some week, hasn't 365 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,440 it? Just exhilarating to think of 366 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,520 the possibilities of what may happen here. 367 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:53,240 And I thought we'd close the podcast here today with our 368 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,640 ending would be the beginning, actually the beginning of Kamala 369 00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,360 Harris as the Democratic candidate for president of the 370 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,840 United States. I want to play her first speech 371 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,960 that she gave last Monday afternoon in Wilmington, DE, at 372 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:12,320 the campaign headquarters, the place that was the headquarters 373 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,800 for the Biden Harris campaign. And overnight, they'd switched 374 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,560 the signs. And they began with President 375 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:22,440 Biden phoning in from his COVID bed, welcoming everybody and 376 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,840 thanking his staff for all their hard work, telling him he was 377 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:31,120 sorry that he couldn't continue, but he was putting country ahead 378 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:36,240 of his personal life, personal ambitions, maybe even ahead of 379 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:40,880 what he thought was best. And yet this is how lucky we 380 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,720 were to have him and, and still have him. 381 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,720 He did something that will be remembered throughout history. 382 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,960 So let's start with hopefully our next president of the United 383 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,800 States. I, I happen to have the TV on. 384 00:30:55,800 --> 00:31:01,040 When this began, she walked out and man, I'll tell you she was 385 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:05,760 on fire. Here she is, her first words as 386 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:10,920 the official candidate in front of her staff in Wilmington, DE 387 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:17,480 this past Monday. You know, as many of you know, 388 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:21,160 before I was elected as vice president, before I was elected 389 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:25,000 as United States senator, I was the elected attorney general, as 390 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:26,800 I've mentioned, to California. And before that I was a 391 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,240 courtroom prosecutor. In those roles, I took on 392 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:48,000 perpetrators of all kinds. Predators who abused women, 393 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:54,360 fraudsters who ripped off consumers, cheaters who broke 394 00:31:54,360 --> 00:32:00,360 the rules for their own gain. So hear me when I say I know 395 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:20,270 Donald Trump's type. And in this campaign, I will 396 00:32:20,270 --> 00:32:25,350 proudly, I will proudly put my record against his. 397 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,120 As a young prosecutor, when I was in the Alameda County 398 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,440 District Attorney's Office in California, I specialized in 399 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:41,640 cases involving sexual abuse. Donald Trump was found liable by 400 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,720 a jury for committing sexual abuse. 401 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,280 As Attorney General of California, I took on one of our 402 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:52,320 country's largest for profit colleges and put it out of 403 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:56,880 business. Donald Trump ran a for profit 404 00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:02,880 college, Trump University, that was forced to pay $25 million to 405 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:08,600 the students it scammed. As District Attorney to go after 406 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,320 polluters, I created one of the first environmental justice 407 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:19,640 units in our nation. Donald Trump stood in Mar a Lago 408 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:25,400 and told Big Oil lobbyists he would do their bidding for a $1 409 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:35,160 billion campaign contribution during during the foreclosure 410 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:40,600 crisis, I took on the big Wall Street banks and won $20 billion 411 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:47,200 for California families holding those banks accountable for 412 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:51,080 fraud. Donald Trump was just found 413 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:59,760 guilty of 34 counts of fraud. But make no mistake, all of that 414 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:04,840 being said, this campaign is not just about US versus Donald 415 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:09,600 Trump. There is more to this campaign 416 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,600 than that. Our campaign has always been 417 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:20,960 about two different versions of what we see as the future of our 418 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,679 country. Two different visions for the 419 00:34:23,679 --> 00:34:29,080 future of our country. One focused on the future, the 420 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:35,120 other focused on the past. Donald Trump wants to take our 421 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:39,120 country backward to a time before many of our fellow 422 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,320 Americans had full freedoms and rights. 423 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:48,480 But we believe in a brighter future that makes room for all 424 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:54,000 Americans. We believe in a future where 425 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:59,280 every person has the opportunity not just to get by, but to get 426 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:04,960 ahead. We believe in a future where no 427 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:10,440 child has to grow up in poverty, where every person can buy a 428 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:15,880 home, start a family and build wealth, and where every person 429 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,400 has access to paid family leave and affordable childcare. 430 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:28,080 That's the future we think. Together, we fight to build a 431 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:33,480 nation where every person has affordable healthcare, where 432 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:39,320 every worker is paid fairly, and where every senior can retire 433 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:44,600 with dignity. All of this is to say building 434 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:49,720 up the middle class will be a defining goal of my presidency 435 00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:01,280 because we here know when our middle class is strong, America 436 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:06,080 is strong, and we know that's not the future Donald Trump is 437 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:15,280 fighting for. He and his he and his extreme 438 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:19,720 Project 2025 will weaken the middle class and bring us 439 00:36:19,720 --> 00:36:22,840 backward. Please do note that back to the 440 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:27,960 failed trickle down policies that gave huge tax breaks to 441 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,960 billionaires and big corporations and made working 442 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:35,400 families pay the cost. Back to policies that put Social 443 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,720 Security and Medicare on the chopping block. 444 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:42,680 Back to policies that treat healthcare as only a privilege 445 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:46,280 for the wealthy instead of what we all know it should be, which 446 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:52,800 is a right for every American. America has tried these economic 447 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:56,840 policies before. They do not lead to prosperity. 448 00:36:57,720 --> 00:37:01,960 They lead to inequity and economic injustice. 449 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:06,480 And we are not going back. We are not going back. 450 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:20,760 You're not taking us back. Our fight for the future is also 451 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:25,000 a fight for freedom. Generations of Americans before 452 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:28,200 us have led the fight for freedom, from our founders to 453 00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:33,240 our framers to the abolitionists and the suffragettes to the 454 00:37:33,240 --> 00:37:39,640 Freedom Riders and farm workers. And now I say team, the baton is 455 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:44,920 in our hands. We who believe in the sacred 456 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,840 freedom to vote. We who are committed to fight to 457 00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,760 pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the 458 00:37:51,760 --> 00:38:01,600 Freedom to Vote Act. We who believe in the freedom to 459 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:05,920 live safe from gun violence and that's why we will work to pass 460 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:09,760 universal background checks, red flag laws, and an assault 461 00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:19,520 weapons ban. We who will fight for 462 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:25,080 reproductive freedom knowing if Trump gets the chance, he will 463 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:29,800 sign a national abortion ban to outlaw abortion in every single 464 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:31,920 state. But we are not going to let that 465 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:41,160 happen. It is this team here that is 466 00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:45,320 going to help in this November to elect a majority of members 467 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,960 of the United States Congress who agree the government should 468 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,520 not be telling a woman what to do with her body. 469 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:04,040 And when Congress passes a law to restore reproductive 470 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:07,760 freedoms, as president of the United States, I will sign it 471 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:08,600 into law. We the people. 472 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:24,320 Indeed, we the people. So ultimately, to all the 473 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:29,160 friends here, I say in this election, we know we each face a 474 00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,320 question. What kind of country do we want 475 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:36,960 to live in? A country of freedom, compassion 476 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:43,440 and rule of law, or a country of chaos, fear and hate? 477 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:52,600 You all are here because you, as leaders know we each, including 478 00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:57,160 our neighbors and our friends and our family, we each, as 479 00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,400 Americans, have the power to answer that question. 480 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,840 That's the beauty of it, the power of the people. 481 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,560 We each have the ability to answer that question. 482 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:11,440 So in the next 106 days, we have work to do. 483 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:16,560 We have doors to knock on, we have people to talk to, we have 484 00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,720 phone calls to make, and we have an election to win. 485 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:30,200 So Are you ready to get to work? Do we believe in freedom? 486 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:37,640 Do we believe in opportunity? Do we believe in the promise of 487 00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:41,760 America? And are we willing to fight for 488 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:47,560 it? And when we fight, God bless you 489 00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:51,360 all, and God bless the United States of America and Joe Biden. 490 00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:03,600 Thanks for listening today. This was our big kick off here 491 00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:07,760 of the 100 days that we have now to get rid of any idea that 492 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,240 Trump has that he thinks he's re entering the Oval Office? 493 00:41:10,240 --> 00:41:13,200 That is not going to happen. And all the work that we have to 494 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,360 do now to make sure this happens, it will not happen on 495 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:21,040 its own, but it is very doable. And as we've seen from this last 496 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,600 week, 1,000,000 millions are ready. 497 00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:32,200 I'll be back with Part 2 of this kick off of the 100 days of how 498 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:36,400 we are going to to stop Trump and how we are going to elect 499 00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:40,640 Kamala Harris as the next president of the United States. 500 00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,120 Take care everyone, and we'll talk soon. 501 00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:56,240 The.
