 So I want to talk about a moment from the debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump That stood out to me because it was deeply deeply disturbing and I hope that anyone who's paying attention listens to this and shows this to anyone who's undecided because this should absolutely Shake everyone to their core if they care about democracy. So first and foremost understand What Trump says When he's asked whether or not he will condemn white supremacy specifically the Proud Boys listen very carefully to his answer here But are you willing tonight to condemn white supremacists and militia groups and To say that they need to stand down and not add to the violence in a number of these cities as we saw in Kenosha And as we've seen in Portland Do it I would say almost everything I see is from the left wing not from the right So what are you? What are you saying? I'm willing to do anything. I want to see then do it sir. Hey, do it say it Do you want to call them? What do you want to call them? Give me a name? Give me a white supremacist Stand back and stand by but I'll tell you what I'll tell you what somebody's got to do something about antifa and the left President Trump. I'm urging my supporters to go into the polls and watch very carefully Because that's what has to happen. I am urging them to do it. So first I'm sure you noticed that once again the president did not condemn white supremacy, which is a very easy thing to do second of all When it comes to the Proud Boys, he did not condemn the Proud Boys unequivocally In fact, what he said was to stand down and stand by Stand by for what? To say to stand by that means Be ready get ready in the events. I need you to mobilize for whatever reason now what that reason may be We uh don't necessarily know but in the event Donald Trump claims that the result of the election is fraudulent If it doesn't go his way. Well, that's when he can tell the people who he told tonight to stand by To take action Now we got a hint of that tonight at the debate When um, he was asked what he would tell his supporters on the night of the election and Donald Trump urges his supporters To take action that I think can be described as voter intimidation. Listen carefully to what he says Will you urge your supporters to stay calm during this extended period? Not to engage in any civil unrest and will you pledge tonight that you will not declare victory Until the election has been independently certified President trump you go for it. I'm urging my supporters to go into the polls and watch very carefully Because that's what has to happen. I am urging them to do it as you know today. There was a big problem in Philadelphia They went into watch. They were called poll watches a very safe very nice thing They were thrown out. They weren't allowed to watch. You know why because bad things happen in Philadelphia bad things And I am urging I am urging my people. I hope it's going to be a fair election If it's a fair election, I am a hundred percent on board But if I see tens of thousands of ballots being manipulated, I can't go along with that And I'll tell you what from a common sense Does that mean you're gonna tell your people to take to the spring? It means you have a fraudulent election You're sending out 80 million ballots. They're not they're not equipped to These people aren't equipped to handle it number one number two. They cheat They cheat. Hey, they found ballots in a waste paper basket three days ago And they all had the name military ballots. They were military. They all had the name trump on them Vice president biden and vice president biden final question for you Will you urge your supporters to stay calm while the vote is counted and will you pledge Not to declare victory until the election is independently certified. Yes, and here's the deal We count the ballots as you pointed out Some of these ballots in some states can't even be opened until election day And if there's thousands of ballots going to take time to do it and by the way our military They've been voting by ballots First since at the end of the civil war in effect. And that's and that's what's gonna happen. Why was it not? Why is it for them somehow not fraudulent? It's the same process It's honest. No one has established at all that there is Fraud related to mail in ballots that somehow it's a fraudulent process. It's already been established Take a look at carolyn malone. He's ready to send them out. You had an opportunity to respond They have no idea why president biden go ahead. He has no idea what he's talking about. Here's the deal The fact is I will accept it and he will too. You know why? Because once the winner is declared after all the all the ballots are counted all the votes are counted That'll be the end of it. That'll be the end of it. And if it's me In fact fine. If it's if it's not me, I'll support the outcome So when Donald Trump refuses to condemn white supremacy And he tells the proud boys to stand down and stand by and then says I am urging my supporters to go to the polls And watch because people are going to be cheating Make no mistake about it. What he's doing Is encouraging violence. He is encouraging violence if he doesn't get his way He's going to claim that the election is fraudulent and democrats cheated And his supporters are going to um caused chaos The president of the united states is actively encouraging Chaos So I mean it's like lose lose for america, right? Because if donald trump loses this election, then he is going to Cause complete and utter chaos. He's going to sow division But if he wins that's four more years of donald trump. So either way We are looking at a complete shit show come november now. I think that Joe biden did a relatively good job um At responding to donald trump bringing up the point that you know veterans if they're overseas they vote by mail That's the way that they do it They've always done it this way. It's not something that is you know controversial And the fraud rate is 0.0025 percent So the anecdotes that he's bringing up I'm assuming that they're made up because it's donald trump. He lies all the time even if they were real There's no systemic issue with mail in ballots He's just saying that they lead to fraud because he knows according to polls Democrats are going to be more likely than republicans to vote by mail So he wants some excuse in the event. He loses this election. It's damage control But this damage control is so destructive that he wants to put us on the brink Of a civil fucking war where he's encouraging his supporters To watch his opponent supporters at the polls that is deeply undemocratic That's voter intimidation He won't condemn white supremacists. He tells groups that are far-right militias like the proud boys To stand by And he did this on a national Debate stage like you can say something like this during a white house press briefing when most people aren't paying attention But to say this at the first presidential debate when tens of millions of people are tuning in This is a bad look This is a very very bad look, but he doesn't care. He wants people to be afraid He wants you to think you better hope I fucking win because if I don't win There's going to be hell to pay. I will make sure that I punish america I will make sure that I encourage my far-right supporters To absolutely raise hell across this country. That's what he wants He wants you to be so afraid of what would happen if he lost That you hope he wins, but don't fall for it This is something that everyone should be sounding the alarm about this is something that the media should be screaming about Because the president the incumbent president is threatening democracy He is threatening democracy And joe biden said look, you know What's going to happen is he's going to be forced to accept the results of the election because Once the winner is declared that's that you can't do shit about it except the problem is that he can refuse to accept the results of the election and um Use the institutional powers that he has as an incumbent president To mess with those results to metal So there was a story in the atlantic that we covered last week Where in the event it's really close in these swing states controlled by republicans where they are, you know A dominant in their state's legislature what he can do is ask them to send their own Electors to the electoral college and effectively undermine the will of voters in that state if it's close and they go for biden He knows what he's doing And i hope that democrats Have a plan for this have a legal team ready Because um, you know if this happens They're gonna have to be ready to take legal action immediately and that ultimately may not amount to much If donald trump does actually get any combi barrett appointed to the supreme court Who actually worked on bush v. Gore in 2000 along with roberts and cavanaugh So i mean this is this is chilling this really should scare everyone This is one of the stories That shows how trump really is An anomaly right in terms of policy. He really isn't that different from your average republican But this is what sets him apart like his direct attack On democracy to the extent where he's trying to sow chaos in america to benefit himself like this is Really really worrisome and democracy is at stake and i don't think i'm exaggerating by saying That so this absolutely stood out to me. This was the low light of the debate for me And i hope people are paying attention Mike is the worst progressive on youtube Please don't subscribe to him or become a patron david dole is so much better. Trust me folks. He's doing a great job He really is okay
