00:08:26.260 For the families who mourn, this nation stands with the good people of New York City and New Jersey and Connecticut.

00:08:34.620 There were no good people there.

00:08:35.660 As we mourn the loss of thousands of our citizens.

00:08:39.460 And we're going to dwell on that. We've got to dwell on that.

00:08:42.180 I can hear you.

00:08:49.580 I can hear you. The rest of the world hears you.

00:08:53.280 And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon.

00:09:04.020 No, no. No, they won't. No, they won't.

00:09:07.440 We can't defeat it. We don't even know who they are.

00:09:11.960 And they're probably surrounding us.

00:09:14.780 It's a really bad thing. Really bad.

00:09:18.480 Well, almost as bad as when our space shuttle blew up.

00:09:23.260 The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us for the manner in which they lived their lives.

00:09:28.920 We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them this morning.

00:09:33.460 As they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye.

00:09:37.300 And slipped the surly bonds of Earth to touch the face of God.

00:09:42.280 I know it's hard to understand, but painful things like this happen.

00:09:47.120 No.

00:09:47.300 It's all part of the process of exploration and discovery.

00:09:49.980 No, no. No. We have to stop.

00:09:51.100 It's all part of taking a chance and expanding man's horizons.

00:09:54.440 Don't take a chance. Stay home.

00:09:56.060 The future doesn't belong to the faint-hearted.

00:09:58.240 Yes, it does.

00:09:59.220 It belongs to the brave.

00:10:00.460 We'll protect you.

00:10:01.380 The Challenger crew was pulling us into the future.

00:10:03.520 No, they weren't.

00:10:04.360 And we'll continue to follow them.

00:10:05.380 They were all blown up.

00:10:06.160 No, they won't.

00:10:07.540 We won't follow them.

00:10:08.480 We can't follow them.

00:10:09.800 This is too great for us to be able to overcome.

00:10:14.100 Please don't listen to these words.

00:10:18.320 I mean, do you remember what happened when the English sent all of their boats, their entire navy, over to France?

00:10:31.580 They were wiped out.

00:10:33.740 They were wiped out.

00:10:35.000 They couldn't send anybody over there.

00:10:39.160 They didn't have any more ships.

00:10:41.120 And if they sent them over there, they were going to be bombed by the Germans. 0.87

00:10:46.180 They were over.

00:10:47.780 Don't you remember Churchill?

00:10:51.260 We shall fight in France.

00:10:53.880 We shall fight on the seas and oceans.

00:10:57.020 We shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air.

00:11:01.520 We shall defend our island, whatever the cross may be.

00:11:06.720 No.

00:11:07.060 We shall fight on the beaches.

00:11:09.280 We shall fight on the landing grounds.

00:11:11.140 No.

00:11:11.940 We shall fight in the fields and in the streets.

00:11:15.620 We shall fight in the hills.

00:11:17.020 We shall never surrender.

00:11:19.300 And if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving,

00:11:29.100 then our empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British fleet, would carry on the struggle until, in God's good time, the new world, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.

00:11:49.040 Well, it is a good thing that the new world, because we were suffering from a depression.

00:11:57.380 We had withered leaves.

00:11:58.860 Our industry was over.

00:12:01.000 There was no way to make it.

00:12:03.120 How are we possibly going to step up and defend the free world?

00:12:07.860 It can't be done.

00:12:10.540 I want you to know Donald Trump is wrong.

00:12:14.420 How dare him say that we are going to conquer this?

00:12:20.540 Oh, my gosh.

00:12:22.080 How dare him say, don't fear this virus?

00:12:26.280 You need to panic.

00:12:29.180 Let me tell you something, America.

00:12:32.300 Our choice has never been more clear.

00:12:37.620 It is not a battle between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

00:12:42.760 It's not a battle between left and right.

00:12:45.780 It is a battle between light and dark, hope and fear, life and death.

00:12:54.720 They actually say the GOP is a death cult because of the virus and what Donald Trump is doing, taking his mask off. 0.90

00:13:03.900 It's a death cult. 0.99

00:13:04.920 Really, you're okay with killing a child after they're born, letting them just shiver, let them just starve to death, let them gasp their last breath all alone, and we're the death cult? 0.99

00:13:30.920 No, I'll tell you what we are. 0.98

00:13:33.540 We're Americans, and far too many Americans have forgotten what it means to be an American.

00:13:39.280 What it means to be an American, as opposed to a European or anything else, Americans go into the wilderness. 0.85

00:13:47.320 Americans go to the great unknown. 0.72

00:13:50.280 Americans cross the mountains when they only have a hand cart. 0.84

00:13:54.140 They bury their children in the middle of nowhere, in the snowy ground, and they dig those graves with their hands until they're bloody.

00:14:06.600 They bury them, and they move over the mountains.

00:14:11.420 Why?

00:14:12.240 Because we don't give up.

00:14:15.940 And you know what?

00:14:16.820 It's sad that that's an American idea.

00:14:19.780 It's really, truly sad that we're the only people that actually believe in those things, that we as individuals can stand up and conquer it.

00:14:32.220 It's sad because that's life itself.

00:14:37.160 Why will this COVID virus be with us forever?

00:14:40.540 Because it's life, and life has a way of finding its way to live and to expand.

00:14:51.500 And they are telling you right now, don't expand.

00:14:56.320 Fear.

00:14:58.280 Let us expand.

00:15:00.100 Let us expand our power and our domination and our lies and our deceitfulness and our death cult.

00:15:07.680 We have nothing to fear, but fear itself.

00:15:22.120 And I am not afraid.

00:15:25.640 I know what the future holds.

00:15:28.320 I know the proving grounds that are in front of us.

00:15:31.760 But I know who I serve, and I know how it ends.

00:15:36.700 And I know America.

00:15:39.120 I know the promises that our founders made, and we are to keep.

00:15:47.000 I know the power of the individual.

00:15:52.220 You have the ultimate power of the universe within you.

00:15:59.060 Accept it.

00:16:00.260 Square your shoulders.

00:16:03.300 And stop being told that you can't grieve with your family together because of some invisible virus.

00:16:13.300 Yeah, we need to take precautions.

00:16:16.380 Yes, we should wear masks when we're in groups.

00:16:20.340 Yes, we shouldn't go in the thousands to protest and then riot.

00:16:26.140 I know the power of the people.

00:16:30.260 But I am not going to cower.

00:16:32.580 And I am not going to listen to a group of people that tell me that our president saying,

00:16:41.120 don't fear this, we'll beat this, is somehow or another wrong.

00:16:45.620 I don't want to follow anyone who doesn't believe in a brighter future.

00:16:51.440 Because that is what America promises.

00:16:55.020 That tomorrow, if we each do what we're supposed to do, not what we're told to do,

00:17:02.120 we'll build a much brighter future for all mankind.

00:17:06.000 If you are ready for some really great news, keep listening.

00:17:11.200 Built Bar is back, and it is unbelievable.

00:17:14.400 If you've been listening to my show this year, I love Built Bars.

00:17:18.040 It's an all-American story.

00:17:19.320 This is a client I asked to be on the show because I didn't listen to my wife again. 1.00

00:17:22.460 And she's been telling me about it.

00:17:23.740 But it has protein bar on it.

00:17:25.300 And those always taste like a doormat.

00:17:28.200 This is unbelievable.

00:17:29.940 The mint brownie flavor, oh yes, baby, it is life-changing.

00:17:34.300 The new bars taste better than ever.

00:18:20.020 So, Selena, tell me what you're learning.

00:18:23.620 Because I see these polls, like everybody else, and I just don't believe them.

00:18:28.620 I mean, maybe I'm reading America wrong, but I just can't believe that it's this close.

00:18:36.780 What are you hearing and feeling?

00:18:38.040 So, my sense of the polling is this.

00:18:43.740 The one that made the most news, just in the past 24 hours, is the national poll by NBC of registered voters.

00:18:53.820 Well, both of those things need to be taken into account for understanding, well, what are we looking at?

00:19:00.520 And we don't vote.

00:19:02.380 Our elections aren't decided nationally.

00:19:06.500 They're decided electorally.

00:19:10.140 So, a national poll really doesn't mean much because you don't know where those voters are coming from.

00:19:17.420 They could, you know, there could be a concentration of people from Chicago, New York, and California, and that would throw the entire thing off.

00:19:25.060 It could even be as granular as cities and not enough rural voters.

00:19:29.140 So, that's why the national poll, you know, I'm skeptical of those.

00:19:35.120 It's also of registered voters.

00:19:38.000 That's, you need to really get down to someone who has voted in the last four elections to see who's likely to turn out.

00:19:48.700 And even that's a problem, Glenn, because there were a lot of voters missed in 2016, because in our book, The Great Revolt, there were these voters we call the paralistas. 0.97

00:20:03.220 They're sort of like, we named them after Ross Crow, because they're like Haley's Comet.

00:20:07.680 They only come out every 100 years, right?

00:20:10.380 And those people aren't picked up by pollsters, because if a pollster is trying to do a really good poll and find a likely voter, and they get them on the phone and say, hey, have you voted in the last two elections?

00:20:24.240 They're like, no, they're dropped.

00:20:27.000 And so, there's, there's, and they made up 6% of Trump's winning coalition in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Iowa.

00:20:38.880 So, there is, you know, I'm, I'm always sort of leery of them not being part of the universe.

00:20:47.540 And finally, between nationally, about one and a half percent of Trump voters are shy Trump voters.

00:20:57.860 In other words, they don't tell a pollster that they're, they're supporting him.

00:21:02.920 I'm surprised it's that, I am surprised it's that low.

00:21:05.580 Well, that's nationally, um, in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, uh, um, and Wisconsin, in our book, there's a poll in the back, a survey of just Trump voters.

00:21:16.900 And they said 34% of them did not tell a family member, a friend, or a pollster that they were going to vote for him.

00:21:23.860 Holy cow. 0.89

00:21:25.120 And that was 2016, it was like a Disney movie compared to today.

00:21:29.040 Oh, yeah.

00:21:29.900 Oh, yeah.

00:21:30.680 So, when you're going through, uh, Pennsylvania, and you're hearing, and, and, and Ohio, and, and Wisconsin, and Michigan, and you're, you're listening to people, are you hearing people that say, I didn't vote for him before, but I am now?

00:21:50.580 Absolutely.

00:21:51.060 I had, I had, I had a piece out of Cambria County a couple weeks ago.

00:21:55.800 You guys can check that, check out all my work at selenazito.com.

00:21:59.060 But I had a piece from Cambria County, Pennsylvania.

00:22:02.040 Cambria County, if you think of coal miners and steel mills, this was, this is that county.

00:22:08.040 This is the county that Jack Mertha was from, Johnstown, Pennsylvania.

00:22:12.380 And there were a line of people, a line of people there to change their voter registration from, from Democrat to Republican.

00:22:22.280 And I interviewed several people there in the story who did not vote for Donald Trump in 2016, who are going to vote for him now.

00:22:31.160 And these, these voters are largely undetected.

00:22:35.620 What we don't know, Glenn, is, is how much they make up of election day voting.

00:22:43.100 What I, what I, what I want to really stress though, is culture always gives us hints of where the election is going.

00:22:52.300 We often ignore them.

00:22:54.260 So Pennsylvania specifically, uh, 246,000 new gun owners since March, 40% of them are women.

00:23:02.620 Uh, the 178,000 new registered, new registered Republican voters in the state.

00:23:14.020 So there are hints and look at culturally as well.

00:23:17.600 Look at things like, um, the NFL and look, look, I mean, I think that when the Steelers played the Monday night game, the, uh, the, the viewership was down 19 percentage points.

00:23:28.400 Tell me about what is happening in not only Pennsylvania, but do you have any look at the kind of confusion, uh, that we are expecting on the new rules that Democrats have, have put forth on, on voting?

00:23:44.700 Well, you know, uh, obviously I live in Pennsylvania.

00:23:49.660 We never had mail-in voting before in the state until, uh, June's primary.

00:23:57.140 We had absentee balloting, but it was like so restrictive and punishing to do it that only 4% of people, um, uh, did it, um, uh, on, on, on an average basis.

00:24:11.440 Uh, now in our primary in June, it was almost 50% of the people.

00:24:17.160 And while the process of doing it was, was not that bad in terms of getting your, you know, ballot and mailing it in, the problem became once the different county, um, offices had your ballot.

00:24:33.100 They were completely unprepared.

00:24:35.720 I don't know why, because certainly there were, you know, our, our, our primary was, uh, delayed several months.

00:24:43.220 So the, the preparation should have been there.

00:24:45.860 Nonetheless, with the exception of Allegheny County in Pittsburgh, um, almost every county went days, if not weeks before the final results came in.

00:24:56.600 And, you know, that's, Pennsylvania could be the decider.

00:25:01.700 I think it's between Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, to be honest.

00:25:05.560 Um, and, and so across, you know, if we were in a, like, weeks, like December, before we know, that's a, that's a big problem.

00:25:14.400 People have a level of expectation that they do their job and, and go through all the hoops and loops to vote.

00:25:21.820 Why can't government fulfill that same obligation?

00:25:26.120 I, I will tell you, Selena, I have to tell you, I think what the Democrats have done and what the media is currently doing, saying, um, that not only is expecting a result on election night, uh, wrong, but it is dangerous.

00:25:42.260 And then trying to tell us that this is a tried and true tradition of America, they're not going to understand it.

00:25:50.600 This is, everyone knows this is the most critical election in our lifetime, uh, whether you're voting for Donald Trump or Joe Biden, that's the way you feel.

00:26:00.260 And for the, the, the, the election process to be changed, uh, if there is a hint of fraud and there already is, I mean, they stole all of the thumb drives.

00:26:14.540 Somebody broke in all of the thumb drives from the machines in Philadelphia, just gone.

00:26:19.900 Um, I mean, we, we, we, you're not going to have a patient society.

00:26:26.740 No, you're not.

00:26:28.160 And, and I think the thing that, well, first of all, I think my profession, um, is, is going way over top and scaring people to pieces.

00:26:37.820 Uh, second of all, that, that's not our job.

00:26:40.860 Our job is to dispassionately, uh, report the news.

00:26:45.720 Um, and, and the other problem we have, Glenn, is everyone tends to think or write that, you know, only conservatives or only Republicans don't trust, um, large institutions such as governments and counties to, to count votes.

00:27:02.360 Well, I've gotten news to them.

00:27:05.500 There are plenty of voters out there that are going to pull the lever for Joe Biden that have an equal amount of distrust.

00:27:13.060 Yes.

00:27:13.660 And, and, and they're, and, and they're, they're sort of only claiming one side, but it's not just going to be one side.

00:27:21.780 That's going to be upset if this process isn't going to be done.

00:27:25.880 It's going to be uniformly, um, uh, uh, made, or people are just going to be uniformly aggravated, frustrated, disappointed, and angry that they couldn't do their job when voters say, look, I did what you told me to do.

00:27:42.780 I filled out the form or I showed up in person.

00:27:46.060 I waited in line.

00:27:47.620 I did everything I was supposed to do.

00:27:49.260 Why can't you do the thing?

00:27:52.000 Selena, let me ask you two questions and they're related.

00:27:54.640 Um, the, the media has really become unbelievable.

00:28:02.020 I mean, the, the, what they say about Trump and, and getting better now and saying, Hey, have no fear of COVID you'll beat this.

00:28:11.480 We can beat this is insanity.

00:28:13.900 That's like saying that, you know, FDR shouldn't have said we have nothing to fear, but fear itself.

00:28:18.840 Uh, and it's, it's become so blue, just so blatantly clear that they are just an anti-Trump machine.

00:28:31.100 Have they, and the Democrats overplayed this hand, assuming that everybody's going to be fine with BLM and Marxism and, and the riots in the streets and the hatred of Donald Trump?

00:28:45.060 No, I think they really underestimate, um, uh, the average voter, even if they're voting for Biden.

00:28:53.440 Um, uh, people that are normal, right.

00:28:57.640 That politics, is it their obsession?

00:29:00.100 They, they're, they're savvy enough.

00:29:02.600 They're smart enough, whether they went to college or not to see the inference.

00:29:07.360 Um, in fact, we've gone from inference to just like heavy handed, um, uh, uh, attacks on the president when they aren't warranted.

00:29:17.040 You know, in 2016, I said to Donald, then candidate, Donald Trump, voters take you seriously, but they don't take everything you say literally, where my profession takes everything you say literally, and doesn't take you all that seriously.

00:29:33.080 I don't think much has changed from that.

00:29:35.660 If you were standing in Western Pennsylvania and you were listening to that speech that the president gave yesterday, whether you liked it or not, whether you like him or not, it was an aspirational speech.

00:29:48.240 It was.

00:29:48.740 Very much, very much in the way that make America great was an aspirational, um, slogan, but the press twisted it into being nationalistic when it was more about aspiration.

00:30:03.620 But it was also about localism, something they praise if you buy something at Whole Foods.

00:30:09.040 But if you hold localism, uh, as, as something as part of your ideal, all of a sudden you're a nationalist.

00:30:16.060 If you come from certain parts of the country, um, the, the last thing I wanted to ask you about is, um, I, I, I, uh, put out a tweet yesterday.

00:30:29.340 Let me see if I can pull it up here real quick.

00:30:31.140 I said, uh, as someone who didn't vote for the real Donald Trump in 2016, but will in 2020, is there anyone like me?

00:30:42.480 I can't be alone.

00:30:44.120 I couldn't vote for either last time.

00:30:46.880 I just didn't trust that he would do what he promised.

00:30:49.460 I have found that he may be the first politician in my lifetime that did keep his word.

00:30:54.620 What was it for you?

00:30:56.460 A hundred and four thousand likes, uh, and, uh, 20, 25,000 retweets and thousands of responses in like 16 hours.

00:31:11.120 Uh, and people are saying, a lot of people are saying, I didn't vote for him.

00:31:17.240 I couldn't vote for him.

00:31:18.440 Uh, and now are, is, is this an echo chamber or do you think that is real?

00:31:25.720 Well, I do think that the Twitter tends to, um, be an echo chamber, but not when it comes to conservatives.

00:31:34.400 Uh, when I watch Twitter interactions between journalists, uh, and, and how that drives the news, um, I'm very skeptical of that reflecting the real world.

00:31:45.920 But having experienced it in every state that I cover, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Michigan, that same, um, switch that you talked about, uh, and, and, um, it is a very real phenomenon.

00:32:02.680 And people, I think are less likely to come out and tell someone they're doing that depending on their geographical area.

00:32:12.040 In particular, if you're in an upper middle class or too wealthy neighborhood, because you want to still be invited to the block party, right?

00:32:19.840 Uh, and our, our, our people, two people on my staff said, I'm going to do the point to where, uh, I just, I'm just like, like that child who's just whining and crying.

00:32:34.480 And at some point you're just like, fine.

00:32:37.400 And they said, I find myself just throwing my hands up and going, fine, whatever.

00:32:41.780 I just want this to stop.

00:32:44.460 Oh, yeah, there's absolutely a lot, a lot of that.

00:32:48.080 Um, and I think that people have tuned out a lot to national news because of that.

00:32:54.400 Uh, but, you know, here's, here's a breaking news exclusive right here.

00:33:00.740 Uh, this, uh, bender that the country's on, uh, isn't going to end if Joe Biden wins.

00:33:09.300 If Joe Biden, even the worst case scenario for conservatives, isn't that bad of a scenario at all.

00:33:17.360 If Joe Biden would happen to squeak out a win, uh, the, that other, the Republicans will more than likely hold on to the Senate.

00:33:26.880 And I bet they win at least eight to 10 house seats. 0.66

00:33:31.780 So what does that mean?

00:33:33.420 Joe Biden won, but he has literally no power because Mitch McConnell has the Senate and Nancy Pelosi will not have enough of a majority in the house to affect big changes.

00:33:47.360 Well, that would be a, that would be a, uh, a good thing if that, uh, if that was our worst case scenario, but, uh, I wouldn't, I wouldn't count my chickens before they hatched on, on this election.

00:34:01.020 Thank you so much, Selena.

00:34:02.220 I appreciate it.

00:34:02.920 You can find her at selenazito.com.

00:34:05.700 That's selenazito.com.

00:34:08.100 She is published everywhere and she gets it.

00:34:10.700 She listens to people.

00:34:12.600 Now more people died of the flu, but it's still disrespectful.

00:34:28.940 Every time I go into a CVS and they have a, they have the gall just to put a sign up that says, get your flu shot.

00:34:40.620 They're not recognizing all the people that the flu has killed.

00:34:44.160 It's so disrespectful.

00:34:46.340 People are mourning the loss of their loved ones every year with the flu.

00:34:52.000 Every time I pass a car dealership and they are not standing and mourning and reminding you how many people are killed in car crashes every day.

00:35:03.100 I think to myself, GM, you should be ashamed of yourself.

00:35:08.180 Ford motor company.

00:35:10.280 It might as well be Ford killing machines.

00:35:14.300 It's so disrespectful and outrageous.

00:35:18.260 It is outrageous.

00:35:19.500 Outrageous.

00:35:20.020 Thank you, Pat.

00:35:21.180 You're welcome.

00:35:22.020 Outrageous, disrespectful, disrespectful, and outrageous. 0.89

00:35:25.700 Has to be said.

00:35:27.460 Thank you for saying it.

00:35:29.300 Well, somebody has to.

00:35:32.000 I mean, sure.

00:35:33.800 It seems everyone in the media is saying it, but that's just, I mean, think of the size of the media compared to the rest of America.

00:35:41.980 Out of the 350 million Americans, it's really only the media that's saying that.

00:35:49.520 So thank goodness someone is saying it.

00:35:54.200 You know, the other thing they had a problem with was that he was asking you not to be afraid.

00:36:03.700 He was, well, I don't even want to repeat it.

00:36:07.440 It was so outrageous and disrespectful that I don't even want to say it myself.

00:36:13.920 Here's what he said.

00:36:14.740 Listen.

00:36:15.520 One thing that's for certain, don't let it dominate you.

00:36:20.320 Don't be afraid of it.

00:36:21.820 Oh, how dare you?

00:36:22.400 You're going to beat it.

00:36:23.080 We have the best medical equipment.

00:36:25.340 We have the best medicines all developed recently.

00:36:29.120 And you're going to beat it.

00:36:30.180 I went, I didn't feel so good.

00:36:32.700 And two days ago, I could have left two days ago.

00:36:34.740 Two days ago, I felt great, like better than I have in a long time.

00:36:37.880 I said just recently, better than 20 years ago.

00:36:41.600 Don't let it dominate.

00:36:43.040 Don't let it take over your lives.

00:36:45.040 No.

00:36:45.260 Don't let that happen.

00:36:46.160 No.

00:36:46.360 We're the greatest country in the world.

00:36:47.780 Oh, stop it.

00:36:48.560 I can't hear about the greatest country in the world.

00:36:51.360 I can't.

00:36:52.220 Stop it.

00:36:53.440 Stop it.

00:36:54.120 But the, oh my gosh, the implied xenophobia with just that one line is enough to be shocking

00:37:01.580 and horrifying and disrespectful to all.

00:37:05.920 Please be afraid of this.

00:37:07.900 Please.

00:37:09.080 0.67 of us will die.

00:37:12.840 If you get it, 0.67 of us will die.

00:37:17.480 That's not a small, well, it is a small, it's 0.67%.

00:37:23.260 We'll die.

00:37:29.600 It's outrageous. 0.89

00:37:31.060 And disrespectful.

00:37:32.700 Yes.

00:37:34.040 I want you to know, I want you to know that we won't make it.

00:37:38.580 I want you to know that you should be afraid.

00:37:41.660 You should cower in fear.

00:37:43.440 Thank you, Wolf. 0.99

00:37:44.220 You should hide in your closet.

00:37:48.100 In fact, if you're suicidal and you're thinking about it, well, you might want to think a little

00:37:54.680 harder because COVID is going to get you in the end.

00:37:59.200 I mean, do you want to go that way?

00:38:00.960 Horrible, excruciating death for 0.67% of us.

00:38:07.040 I want you to know we're never going to get past it.

00:38:09.740 We don't have good medical treatment.

00:38:12.740 He's faking it.

00:38:14.080 I think he's an audio animatronic.

00:38:16.440 He died.

00:38:17.820 He had to have died.

00:38:19.180 He's 75.

00:38:20.200 He eats McDonald's.

00:38:21.280 He's out of shape. 0.98

00:38:22.520 I mean, he has to be dead. 0.95

00:38:24.440 I think he's a robot. 0.76

00:38:26.280 And what is that robot doing?

00:38:28.080 Telling you that you should be positive.

00:38:30.860 Well, let me just show you what FDR said in his first inaugural address when America was

00:38:40.160 facing a depression.

00:38:43.280 Listen.

00:38:44.220 Values have shrunk to fantastic levels.

00:38:47.540 Taxes have risen.

00:38:49.220 Our ability to pay has fallen.

00:38:52.020 Government of all kinds is faced by serious curtailment of income.

00:38:56.820 The means of exchange are frozen in the currents of trade.

00:39:00.860 The withered leaves of industrial enterprise lie on every side.

00:39:05.940 Oh, my gosh.

00:39:06.640 Farmers find no market for their produce.

00:39:09.300 Farmers.

00:39:09.840 And the savings of many years in thousands of families are gone.

00:39:14.380 Okay, now listen to this.

00:39:15.820 Listen to that.

00:39:16.520 Do you hear what he just said?

00:39:18.080 Withered leaves of the industry.

00:39:20.900 Farmers have no market for their goods.

00:39:23.960 Banks are closed.

00:39:25.860 People have lost their houses.

00:39:27.680 That's the kind of leadership that we need today.

00:39:32.120 And it was it was so disrespectful, so disrespectful for the pain of those farmers.

00:39:41.080 He ignored the pain of those who have lost their house when he went on to say.

00:39:49.180 Find no market for their produce.

00:39:54.000 And the savings of many years in thousands of families are gone.

00:39:58.140 Yes.

00:39:58.700 This great nation will endure as it has endured.

00:40:02.760 Oh, my gosh.

00:40:03.660 Will revive and will prosper.

00:40:06.200 So outrageous and disrespectful.

00:40:08.700 Let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

00:40:17.180 Oh, my gosh.

00:40:18.100 Outrageous and disrespectful.

00:40:22.800 Unconscionable that he would say something like that.

00:40:27.760 Concentrate on the withered leaves, America.

00:40:31.120 Concentrate on that.

00:40:32.180 Because when you do, you stop becoming an American.

00:40:36.360 You stop growing as a person.

00:40:39.920 You cower in fear and you do nothing. 0.99

00:40:44.320 You look for a boot to lick. 0.91

00:40:51.340 And and that's who we are as Americans, isn't it? 0.78

00:40:55.320 I mean, aren't we the boot lickers?

00:40:58.120 When Winston Churchill lost almost every single ship and and and naval officer.

00:41:09.680 On the beaches of France before America was in before the war, Germany had them pinned on the beach.

00:41:19.620 And he got on the radio and he said, we're done.

00:41:26.400 We're done.

00:41:27.580 We can't send any of our ships.

00:41:29.480 And I know you have the ability to, you know, you have ships, but we can't ask you to do that because it might be dangerous for you.

00:41:36.920 So while we could ask you because it's your country, it's your freedom, it's your life, it's your sons and daughters who are trapped on the beach.

00:41:49.180 No, we don't want you to get into your private boats and go pick those guys up because it's too dangerous.

00:41:58.220 And so they all died.

00:42:03.480 And then he had the gall to get on and say these words.

00:42:11.680 We shall fight in France.

00:42:14.080 We shall fight on the seas and oceans.

00:42:17.420 We shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air.

00:42:23.060 We shall defend our island, whatever the curse may be.

00:42:26.740 We shall fight on the beaches.

00:42:29.680 We shall fight on the landing grounds.

00:42:32.480 We shall fight in the fields and in the streets.

00:42:36.060 We shall fight in the hills.

00:42:38.480 We shall never surrender.

00:42:40.020 And if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it was subjugated and starving,

00:42:49.640 then our empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British fleet, would carry on the struggle until in God's good time,

00:43:01.980 the new world with all its power and might steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.

00:43:09.480 That is who we are.

00:43:12.100 We are the new world that steps forward and protects the old. 0.99

00:43:19.700 We don't cower in fear.

00:43:22.980 We do these things not because they're easy, but because they're hard.

00:43:28.220 We are the people that put footprints on the moon when no one, no one in that generation had ever dreamt of that growing up.

00:43:43.860 No one thought even a rocket was possible, let alone a moonwalk.

00:43:54.180 We are the people that were told eight, four years ago, four years ago, that this is the best the economy will ever get.

00:44:02.880 You can't get any more juice or any more blood out of this stone.

00:44:08.040 We can't go any further.

00:44:09.940 This is the best our economy will be.

00:44:12.780 This is the best we can do with unemployment.

00:44:15.400 And Donald Trump is lying to you.

00:44:18.760 And look what happened.

00:44:22.480 We had the lowest unemployment in 50 years.

00:44:27.960 The strongest economy in the history of America.

00:44:31.140 Now, why didn't that happen before?

00:44:34.680 Because they put a cap on themselves and on you.

00:44:40.400 Stop believing in them.

00:44:43.640 Start believing in you.

00:44:46.880 That is the difference of America.

00:44:49.920 We see things and we do them.

00:44:54.080 We don't do them because we're told to.

00:44:56.380 In fact, when we're told to, Americans rebuff that.

00:45:01.640 Don't tell me what to do.

00:45:04.380 And that spirit, as they have tried to break that spirit in you for.

00:45:13.600 Wow.

00:45:14.800 Twelve solid years.

00:45:17.320 They have tried to break your spirit.

00:45:19.780 Twelve years.

00:45:22.060 Forget who you are.

00:45:23.620 Give up.

00:45:25.300 Don't think for yourself.

00:45:27.300 You'll never beat the system.

00:45:29.120 You don't matter.

00:45:30.340 Your voice doesn't matter. 1.00

00:45:31.940 You're a bad person. 1.00

00:45:33.480 You're a racist. 1.00

00:45:34.820 I'm telling you, we will fight them on the beaches. 1.00

00:45:38.800 We will fight them in the fields.

00:45:41.580 We will fight them in the cities.

00:45:43.720 We will fight because Americans don't believe that.

00:45:48.840 And I am sorry, but it is, it is fused in my DNA.

00:46:00.760 While my family came here from overseas, my family came here before the Civil War.

00:46:07.540 And my family stood up to fight against slavery because they believed in the words of the Declaration of Independence.

00:46:16.180 And I take my strength from the blood they shed and the courage and the steel in their spine.

00:46:25.600 Don't you listen to anybody.

00:46:31.320 Don't you listen to anybody who tells you, be afraid.

00:46:39.200 Have no fear.

00:46:41.640 The only king you serve is God.

00:46:46.200 And he never pushes fear.

00:46:50.220 Na, na, na, na.
