00:01:57.760So, it's like kind of a tribute to them.
00:01:59.280And yes, as Ian and I agreed yesterday as we drove past Walker's Point, we would have taken either Bush without hesitation over Donald Trump.
00:02:20.100He lives on the ground floor of a three-story walk-up on Gove Street, which is down by Saco Bay in a working-class neighborhood in Biddeford, Maine.
00:02:31.040And he used to be an independent, he told me, which is a recognized and registered political affiliation down here in the States.
00:02:39.280And last year, half of American voters said they were independent, neither Democrat nor Republican.
00:02:46.620So, I asked him which way he's going to be voting in November.
00:02:50.860And Weissmeyer smiled at me and he said, Democrat.
00:03:28.340But the birther hoax got legs in 2012 when a private citizen named Donald J. Trump started to tweet that it was true.
00:03:38.080An extremely credible source had told him, Trump said at the time.
00:03:43.360Now, history will record that Obama won anyway, and that was that.
00:03:47.580But the birther hoax, which ushered in the Donald Trump era and ushered George Weissmeyer towards the Democrats, was the official start of crazy time in U.S. politics.
00:04:01.540And in that way, I think George Weissmeyer is American.
00:04:08.420His political orbit, you see, was changed by the black hole in space that is Donald Trump.
00:04:14.840Like, everybody in America has had their politics changed by Trump, either pulled toward him by this dark gravitational force or pushed away.
00:04:25.760So, as we were knocking on doors for the Democrats this week, we got a lot of that.
00:04:31.520Like, on Cleve Street, we went looking for somebody named Tammy Wilder, and she was out.
00:04:37.500I think she was working, but we got her husband instead.
00:04:39.820And he said, you know, she's a Democrat, so is he.
00:04:45.000And Kamala Harris had been anointed the Democratic Party presidential candidate just days before.
00:04:50.920So, the literature that we had, the signs that we had were, like, hot off the presses.
00:04:55.620So, Tammy Wilder's husband, we asked him about the issues Harris should be talking about, and he stopped cleaning the stove, and he squinted off in the middle distance.
00:05:07.500And he said, there's a lot of issues, actually, but that son of a bitch, no way.
00:05:13.700And that's how it went on the Sunday morning in Biddeford, Maine, that we were knocking on doors.
00:05:18.740People either really were for Donald Trump or really against him.
00:06:30.580The U.S. Army took the unprecedented step of condemning him in a statement for trying to turn Arlington National Cemetery into a prop for one of his commercials.
00:06:41.260He's retweeted a post containing a disgusting sexual slur about Harris and Hillary Clinton.
00:06:49.380He's been condemned by more than 200 staffers who work for him or Reagan or the two Bushes.
00:06:56.280We've all said they're going to vote against him.
00:06:58.620And he can't figure out a strategy to stop his slide in the polls.
00:07:03.060So, at a rally in Kennebunkport, later on on Sunday, he and I went.
00:07:09.500And there were about 100 happy Democrats crammed in there.
00:07:13.800It's on this hall that basically is on the road that leads you back to Canada.
