00:00:11,886 --> 00:00:15,849
[phone chiming]
2
00:00:15,890 --> 00:00:19,352
[caller] Yes.
I just received a big postcard
3
00:00:19,394 --> 00:00:22,689
from the Lincoln Project,
and I am just appalled
4
00:00:22,731 --> 00:00:25,191
at the lies that you guys
are putting out.
5
00:00:25,233 --> 00:00:26,901
Why would you want
socialist government
6
00:00:26,943 --> 00:00:28,695
to take over this nation?
7
00:00:28,737 --> 00:00:30,989
It makes me want to work
harder for President Trump.
8
00:00:31,031 --> 00:00:32,991
The Lincoln Project.
Who are you?
9
00:00:33,533 --> 00:00:35,368
[caller] Yeah.
I just wanted to let you know
10
00:00:35,410 --> 00:00:36,870
that there's a special place
in hell
11
00:00:36,911 --> 00:00:38,955
waiting for you,
you Communist bastards.
12
00:00:40,707 --> 00:00:43,209
[caller]
This message is for Goldie.
13
00:00:43,251 --> 00:00:46,588
No matter what you do,
we are still voting for Trump.
14
00:00:46,629 --> 00:00:47,881
We love Trump.
15
00:00:47,922 --> 00:00:49,716
Hi.
This message is for Goldie.
16
00:00:49,758 --> 00:00:52,761
[caller] All of my friends
are not voting for Biden.
17
00:00:52,802 --> 00:00:54,471
Goodbye.
18
00:00:54,512 --> 00:00:57,599
[caller] This is for
Michael Steele, Rick Wilson.
19
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,309
Youse all suck cock,
20
00:00:59,350 --> 00:01:01,895
you fucking lowlife
nigger motherfuckers.
21
00:01:01,936 --> 00:01:04,898
And Rick Wilson, you're
a fucking punk, motherfucker.
22
00:01:04,939 --> 00:01:06,733
I'd like to smack you
in your fucking face,
23
00:01:06,775 --> 00:01:08,902
you ugly cocksucker.
24
00:01:09,194 --> 00:01:12,197
[Rick]
Trump supporters decided
25
00:01:12,238 --> 00:01:15,033
that Donald Trump
is the avatar of their rage,
26
00:01:15,075 --> 00:01:17,535
and their anger,
and their hatred.
27
00:01:17,577 --> 00:01:20,747
There's a part of me, maybe
in the beginning of this,
28
00:01:20,789 --> 00:01:22,582
that would have said,
29
00:01:22,624 --> 00:01:24,626
"Wow. I've gotta really look
at it from their perspective."
30
00:01:24,667 --> 00:01:26,377
But you know,
after the tenth time your kids
31
00:01:26,419 --> 00:01:29,547
get a death threat from these
fucking people, you're done.
32
00:01:29,589 --> 00:01:32,092
I fucking brought my passport
to Utah.
33
00:01:32,133 --> 00:01:35,095
You don't do that,
unless there's something
34
00:01:35,136 --> 00:01:36,596
in the back
of your head thinking,
35
00:01:36,638 --> 00:01:38,306
"We may have to get the fuck
out of here quick."
36
00:01:38,348 --> 00:01:39,766
[caller] You're a wolf
in sheep's clothing.
37
00:01:39,808 --> 00:01:41,392
You're a Democrat.
38
00:01:41,434 --> 00:01:42,936
You're working against
the Republican Party?
39
00:01:42,977 --> 00:01:45,980
Okay. You're a piece
of worthless, torrid crap.
40
00:01:46,022 --> 00:01:50,151
Your whole Lincoln Project.
You're shit!
41
00:01:50,193 --> 00:01:53,113
dramatic music
42
00:02:09,337 --> 00:02:14,384
So Russians talk about
lozhnaya informatsiya,
43
00:02:14,425 --> 00:02:17,595
which is, in essence, false
information with a purpose,
44
00:02:17,637 --> 00:02:19,764
and that's really
what's been going on here.
45
00:02:19,806 --> 00:02:22,142
They've started this
"election fraud's a problem."
46
00:02:22,183 --> 00:02:25,145
That's been a narrative
since the beginning, right?
47
00:02:25,186 --> 00:02:27,814
They've been laying
this groundwork forever.
48
00:02:27,856 --> 00:02:30,650
This was just the other day.
It's from--
49
00:02:30,692 --> 00:02:33,695
He literally lays it all out
right here.
50
00:02:33,736 --> 00:02:36,990
[Trump] And we are going
to win four more years.
51
00:02:37,031 --> 00:02:39,325
[cheers and applause]
52
00:02:39,367 --> 00:02:42,120
Four more years!
Four more years!
53
00:02:42,162 --> 00:02:44,164
- Four more years!
- [Trump] And then after that,
54
00:02:44,205 --> 00:02:45,999
we'll go for another
four years,
55
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,127
because you know what?
They spied on my campaign.
56
00:02:49,169 --> 00:02:51,504
We should get a redo
of four years.
57
00:02:51,546 --> 00:02:54,174
[cheers and applause]
58
00:02:54,215 --> 00:02:57,969
Because the only way
we're gonna lose this election
59
00:02:58,011 --> 00:03:00,722
is if the election is rigged.
Remember that.
60
00:03:02,056 --> 00:03:04,309
[Trygve]
Why do democracies fail?
61
00:03:04,350 --> 00:03:06,686
What I have seen,
in places like Venezuela,
62
00:03:06,728 --> 00:03:08,521
Russia, Belarus,
63
00:03:08,563 --> 00:03:10,356
where you've had
democratically-elected
64
00:03:10,398 --> 00:03:12,442
people
become autocratic leaders,
65
00:03:12,483 --> 00:03:14,444
there's a tipping point
where they cross it
66
00:03:14,485 --> 00:03:18,114
and where giving up power
is more of a threat
67
00:03:18,156 --> 00:03:20,158
than peacefully transitioning.
68
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,368
And it sounds like
high-minded conversation,
69
00:03:22,410 --> 00:03:26,206
but in reality, it's something
that we may end up facing here.
70
00:03:26,831 --> 00:03:30,877
So beyond that,
create an existential threat.
71
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,714
They say that they're gonna
threaten riots if they lose.
72
00:03:34,756 --> 00:03:35,882
We'll put 'em down very
quickly, if they do that.
73
00:03:35,924 --> 00:03:37,133
[reporter]
How are you gonna do that?
74
00:03:37,175 --> 00:03:38,551
We have the right to do that.
75
00:03:38,593 --> 00:03:40,261
We have the power
to do that, if we want.
76
00:03:40,303 --> 00:03:42,180
Look, it's called insurrection.
77
00:03:42,222 --> 00:03:44,265
We just send in,
and we do it very easy.
78
00:03:44,307 --> 00:03:45,683
[Trygve]
It's all about division.
79
00:03:45,725 --> 00:03:48,436
Chaos. That's what they want.
80
00:03:48,478 --> 00:03:49,729
[Mike]
It's the ecosystem.
81
00:03:49,771 --> 00:03:53,900
I mean, it is incredibly
efficient and effective.
82
00:03:53,942 --> 00:03:56,861
This is Trump saying
he's never gonna concede.
83
00:03:56,903 --> 00:03:59,239
Can you give a direct answer?
You will accept the election?
84
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,074
I have to see. No,
I'm not gonna just say yes.
85
00:04:01,115 --> 00:04:03,409
I'm not gonna say no,
and I didn't last time, either.
86
00:04:03,451 --> 00:04:07,121
And when the peaceful
transition of power fails,
87
00:04:07,163 --> 00:04:09,040
then all of the normal rules
88
00:04:09,082 --> 00:04:10,917
under which we operate
may go off.
89
00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:12,502
Like, what percentage
right now,
90
00:04:12,543 --> 00:04:14,087
of Republicans,
no matter what happens,
91
00:04:14,128 --> 00:04:16,756
they're gonna say
that Donald Trump was cheated?
92
00:04:16,798 --> 00:04:19,717
It's high. They're gonna have
the party behind 'em.
93
00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:21,761
They'll all rally to him.
94
00:04:21,803 --> 00:04:24,764
[Rick] This is our experience
from '15, and '16,
95
00:04:24,806 --> 00:04:27,433
and '17, and '18, and '19.
96
00:04:27,475 --> 00:04:30,270
Every time someone gambles
97
00:04:30,311 --> 00:04:31,771
that somebody's
standing up to this guy...
98
00:04:31,813 --> 00:04:33,106
It doesn't happen.
99
00:04:33,147 --> 00:04:34,732
They have violence
100
00:04:34,774 --> 00:04:37,235
and the threat of violence
on their side.
101
00:04:37,277 --> 00:04:39,237
When it's given
the right prompting
102
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,239
by the right
kind of authoritarians,
103
00:04:41,281 --> 00:04:45,326
all the veneer of civilization
goes, like that.
104
00:04:49,872 --> 00:04:52,625
[TV in background]
105
00:04:52,667 --> 00:04:56,296
soft music
106
00:04:56,337 --> 00:04:57,630
[mother] Hey, honey.
107
00:04:57,672 --> 00:04:59,090
Hi, Mommy.
108
00:05:01,884 --> 00:05:03,386
You asked me to wake you
109
00:05:03,428 --> 00:05:05,596
and tell you what happened
in the election.
110
00:05:06,806 --> 00:05:08,349
Who won?
111
00:05:09,809 --> 00:05:13,229
Trump. Trump won.
112
00:05:13,271 --> 00:05:17,775
But I thought you could only be
president two times.
113
00:05:17,817 --> 00:05:21,070
- [crowd chanting on TV]
- Not anymore.
114
00:05:21,112 --> 00:05:24,615
[crowd] Four more years!
Four more years!
115
00:05:24,657 --> 00:05:29,495
Four more years,
four more years!
116
00:05:29,537 --> 00:05:30,997
[announcer] The Lincoln Project
is responsible
117
00:05:31,039 --> 00:05:32,540
for the content
of this advertising.
118
00:05:39,047 --> 00:05:40,506
[Sarah] What they're
asking you to do
119
00:05:40,548 --> 00:05:42,633
is take their temperature
before you get to school,
120
00:05:42,675 --> 00:05:44,302
so that they--'cause
a temperature check--
121
00:05:44,344 --> 00:05:45,678
[Kiran] Yeah.
Last time it didn't work.
122
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,015
Well, it did work.
It was just different.
123
00:05:49,057 --> 00:05:52,852
[Sarah] Yeah, so Friday is
the school party, and then...
124
00:05:52,894 --> 00:05:55,021
I have twin boys,
Abel and Eli.
125
00:05:55,063 --> 00:05:56,814
I don't know about, like,
what you want to do
126
00:05:56,856 --> 00:05:59,359
about trick-or-treating
on Saturday.
127
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,319
When I had my embryos
implanted,
128
00:06:01,361 --> 00:06:06,032
my parents were not happy.
129
00:06:06,074 --> 00:06:07,742
They're very pro-life, and I
thought that was something
130
00:06:07,784 --> 00:06:10,161
that they would celebrate,
because it's life.
131
00:06:10,203 --> 00:06:13,206
[overlapping chatter]
132
00:06:13,247 --> 00:06:16,501
They were like, "We're praying
about it, Sarah."
133
00:06:16,542 --> 00:06:18,544
It was one of those moments
in my life
134
00:06:18,586 --> 00:06:23,549
that I was really--
I-I didn't understand.
135
00:06:24,050 --> 00:06:27,387
I don't know that
I'll ever understand.
136
00:06:27,428 --> 00:06:30,098
All right. You good?
137
00:06:30,681 --> 00:06:33,226
[Sarah] I'm gonna go down
and give you a kiss goodbye.
138
00:06:35,436 --> 00:06:36,896
[Sarah] I'm going
to the airport,
139
00:06:36,938 --> 00:06:38,898
- and you're going to Denver.
- [child] Oh!
140
00:06:38,940 --> 00:06:42,693
Now, my parents,
they feel very differently.
141
00:06:42,735 --> 00:06:46,155
They tell me that Abel
and Eli, they're the...
142
00:06:46,197 --> 00:06:49,700
greatest gift
that they've ever had.
143
00:06:49,742 --> 00:06:51,661
I love you. I'll see you.
I'll call you tonight.
144
00:06:51,702 --> 00:06:54,080
[child] I like your car.
145
00:06:54,122 --> 00:06:57,750
[Sarah] Yeah. He loves cars.
Have fun!
146
00:06:57,792 --> 00:07:01,587
Actually, I'm sad that
they're leaving this week,
147
00:07:01,629 --> 00:07:05,258
but there's more to do
than I expected.
148
00:07:07,552 --> 00:07:10,555
So first of all, we're dropping
four spots today
149
00:07:10,596 --> 00:07:12,473
and debuting one tonight,
150
00:07:12,515 --> 00:07:15,726
so we already dropped
Fairytale.
151
00:07:15,768 --> 00:07:18,062
[narrator] A man
comes down from his tower
152
00:07:18,104 --> 00:07:20,940
and is crowned the most
powerful man on Earth.
153
00:07:20,982 --> 00:07:24,068
He gives from the rich
and takes from the poor.
154
00:07:24,110 --> 00:07:26,779
We dropped a Joe Biden
aspirational.
155
00:07:26,821 --> 00:07:29,740
[announcer]
This is Joe Biden's moment.
156
00:07:29,782 --> 00:07:32,076
Also, tomorrow,
we're gonna drop the 545.
157
00:07:32,118 --> 00:07:33,786
It's called Cruel.
158
00:07:33,828 --> 00:07:36,622
It's about the 545 children
that are still in cages.
159
00:07:36,664 --> 00:07:41,085
[announcer] Trump's plan was
to crush immigrant children.
160
00:07:41,127 --> 00:07:43,796
So starting this Tuesday
through November 3rd
161
00:07:43,838 --> 00:07:47,258
has to be done and approved
by Facebook by Saturday night.
162
00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:50,636
We need to get all these
South Carolina ones done.
163
00:07:50,678 --> 00:07:52,972
Reed disagrees. Reed thinks
that those can go.
164
00:07:53,014 --> 00:07:54,223
Those can go on Facebook.
165
00:07:54,265 --> 00:07:56,309
They just will go
without money.
166
00:07:56,350 --> 00:07:57,477
What do you mean it can go
on Facebook without money?
167
00:07:57,518 --> 00:07:58,978
What does that mean?
168
00:07:59,020 --> 00:08:00,480
There will be no digital
campaign behind it,
169
00:08:00,521 --> 00:08:02,815
so we won't be shoving it
into a specific state.
170
00:08:02,857 --> 00:08:05,443
I want to--where is Reed?
171
00:08:05,485 --> 00:08:06,944
Reed is not gonna be
on this call.
172
00:08:06,986 --> 00:08:08,696
Is Rick on?
173
00:08:08,738 --> 00:08:09,947
[Sarah]
No.
174
00:08:09,989 --> 00:08:11,616
Guys have limited time.
175
00:08:11,657 --> 00:08:14,160
We have a day and a half
for them to do this.
176
00:08:14,202 --> 00:08:18,789
I have no higher priority
than getting squared away
177
00:08:18,831 --> 00:08:20,750
in these senate races,
178
00:08:20,791 --> 00:08:23,503
so, like, we don't need to do
a Biden positive spot
179
00:08:23,544 --> 00:08:27,089
at the expense of doing what we
need to do in South Carolina.
180
00:08:27,131 --> 00:08:29,759
Like, I literally don't want
to have to find a roof
181
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,844
to jump off of,
because, you know,
182
00:08:31,886 --> 00:08:35,181
Lindsey Graham won
by 900 votes in South Carolina.
183
00:08:35,223 --> 00:08:37,642
PERSON: Yeah.
- I wanna do everything we can
184
00:08:37,683 --> 00:08:40,186
as an organization, right,
185
00:08:40,228 --> 00:08:42,021
to get Lindsey Graham
out of there.
186
00:08:42,063 --> 00:08:44,482
Okay. All right.
187
00:08:44,524 --> 00:08:47,693
[Rick] And I'll say this.
188
00:08:47,735 --> 00:08:52,365
This is like a story
that's never been told, right,
189
00:08:52,406 --> 00:08:55,076
in connection
with the Donald Trump thing.
190
00:08:56,994 --> 00:09:00,039
When I took over
the McCain campaign,
191
00:09:00,081 --> 00:09:01,332
I was put in charge
of everything
192
00:09:01,374 --> 00:09:03,292
except the VP vetting.
193
00:09:04,961 --> 00:09:08,297
And so the idea was, like,
we'd pick Lieberman.
194
00:09:08,339 --> 00:09:10,841
McCain
picked a great Democrat,
195
00:09:10,883 --> 00:09:13,678
and we're gonna solve this
country's biggest problems,
196
00:09:13,719 --> 00:09:16,138
but it was dependent
on secrecy,
197
00:09:16,180 --> 00:09:19,850
and Lindsey Graham
went out and leaked it.
198
00:09:19,892 --> 00:09:23,104
So that was off, right?
199
00:09:23,145 --> 00:09:26,482
And so I say we should
take a look at Palin.
200
00:09:26,524 --> 00:09:29,068
And I said, "I don't know
anything about her,
201
00:09:29,110 --> 00:09:31,028
other than she has
the highest approval level
202
00:09:31,070 --> 00:09:34,198
of any governor."
203
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,703
Biggest fucking mistake
of my entire life
204
00:09:38,744 --> 00:09:41,789
and that I will regret,
until the day I die,
205
00:09:41,831 --> 00:09:44,542
is what happened
the next morning.
206
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:47,837
Sarah Palin comes rolling down
into McCain's compound,
207
00:09:47,878 --> 00:09:50,381
in Sedona, Arizona,
208
00:09:50,423 --> 00:09:52,008
and McCain
goes to me and Mark Salter,
209
00:09:52,049 --> 00:09:53,884
he goes, "Come on, boys."
210
00:09:53,926 --> 00:09:55,761
He goes,
"Let's go talk to her."
211
00:09:55,803 --> 00:09:57,263
And I go, "It's totally
inappropriate for us
212
00:09:57,305 --> 00:10:00,391
to be in the meeting."
213
00:10:00,433 --> 00:10:02,518
After they met for two hours,
214
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:04,186
we went for a walk
by the river.
215
00:10:04,228 --> 00:10:08,691
I go, "Listen, is she ready?"
216
00:10:08,733 --> 00:10:11,777
He goes, "She'll be ready."
217
00:10:11,819 --> 00:10:13,779
And Cindy McCain said,
"It's a gamble."
218
00:10:13,821 --> 00:10:15,948
And he said,
219
00:10:15,990 --> 00:10:17,366
"Well, you shouldn't
have said that to me, Cindy,
220
00:10:17,408 --> 00:10:19,785
'cause you know
how much I like craps."
221
00:10:19,827 --> 00:10:21,829
I never told the story.
222
00:10:21,871 --> 00:10:25,916
John McCain pretended to
fucking roll dice in his hand,
223
00:10:25,958 --> 00:10:29,295
and he blew out his hand,
he went--and he threw the dice,
224
00:10:29,337 --> 00:10:31,797
and he said,
"Fuck it. Let's do it."
225
00:10:34,216 --> 00:10:36,677
Thank you.
226
00:10:36,719 --> 00:10:39,430
[Steve] Three days after
we got to the convention,
227
00:10:39,472 --> 00:10:40,931
I had my first,
like, discussion
228
00:10:40,973 --> 00:10:43,309
of any substance with her.
229
00:10:43,351 --> 00:10:45,811
Ten minutes later,
I was showing her on a map,
230
00:10:45,853 --> 00:10:49,523
you know, this is Iraq,
this is Afghanistan.
231
00:10:49,565 --> 00:10:51,317
[chuckling]
Jesus Christ.
232
00:10:51,359 --> 00:10:54,820
[Steve] People in the caves
here attacked us.
233
00:10:54,862 --> 00:10:56,405
We attacked this country.
234
00:10:56,447 --> 00:11:00,785
Saddam Hussein is here.
Osama bin Laden is here.
235
00:11:00,826 --> 00:11:04,330
And later that day,
I had to tell her
236
00:11:04,372 --> 00:11:05,831
that no, it wasn't
the Queen of England.
237
00:11:05,873 --> 00:11:07,166
It was the
British Prime Minister
238
00:11:07,208 --> 00:11:09,001
that the President dealt with.
239
00:11:09,043 --> 00:11:13,673
So that was like
when I knew.
240
00:11:13,714 --> 00:11:16,676
[McCain] Don't you think we
made the right choice
241
00:11:16,717 --> 00:11:18,844
for the next vice president
of the United States?
242
00:11:18,886 --> 00:11:20,846
[cheers and applause]
243
00:11:20,888 --> 00:11:22,473
[Steve]
Fifty states in this country.
244
00:11:22,515 --> 00:11:24,642
She is the most popular
governor,
245
00:11:24,684 --> 00:11:26,519
of any governor, of any state.
246
00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:29,647
She is the future
of the Republican party.
247
00:11:29,689 --> 00:11:32,733
She's going to be
an outstanding vice president.
248
00:11:32,775 --> 00:11:35,695
[Madrid] Steve is in a very
small group of people
249
00:11:35,736 --> 00:11:38,656
that have been what
we call the number one--
250
00:11:38,698 --> 00:11:41,742
the person in charge
of the presidential, the race.
251
00:11:41,784 --> 00:11:45,663
There's maybe a dozen people
alive that have done that.
252
00:11:45,705 --> 00:11:48,040
You are going to make
decisions
253
00:11:48,082 --> 00:11:50,251
that are going to change
the course of history,
254
00:11:50,292 --> 00:11:52,503
whether you win or lose.
255
00:11:54,755 --> 00:11:57,174
That decision created
a cascading effect
256
00:11:57,216 --> 00:12:00,720
for the Republican Party
and for the country now.
257
00:12:00,761 --> 00:12:04,056
So what they're gonna try to do
is make you scared of me.
258
00:12:04,098 --> 00:12:07,685
[Sarah] Our opponent sees
America as imperfect enough
259
00:12:07,727 --> 00:12:10,354
to pal around with terrorists
260
00:12:10,396 --> 00:12:12,064
who targeted their own
country.
261
00:12:12,106 --> 00:12:15,192
[all] Boo!
262
00:12:15,234 --> 00:12:16,652
[Sarah]
Barack Obama is a socialist.
263
00:12:16,694 --> 00:12:19,739
He believes
in redistributing wealth.
264
00:12:19,780 --> 00:12:21,532
He scares me.
265
00:12:21,574 --> 00:12:23,743
He scares me, because I believe
that he's a Marxist.
266
00:12:23,784 --> 00:12:26,078
"You know, he doesn't look like
all those other presidents
267
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,581
on those dollar bills.
You know?"
268
00:12:28,622 --> 00:12:31,667
He's related to a, uh,
known terrorist.
269
00:12:31,709 --> 00:12:35,796
Tell me he's American.
No, he is not.
270
00:12:35,838 --> 00:12:37,590
People are trying to figure out
271
00:12:37,631 --> 00:12:39,633
why isn't he giving
his birth certificate?
272
00:12:39,675 --> 00:12:44,221
I appreciate that The Donald
wants to spend his resources
273
00:12:44,263 --> 00:12:46,766
in getting to the bottom of
something that so interests him
274
00:12:46,807 --> 00:12:48,434
and many Americans.
275
00:12:48,476 --> 00:12:50,728
Barack Obama
is the first illegal
276
00:12:50,770 --> 00:12:53,105
that needs to be removed from
the United States of America!
277
00:12:53,147 --> 00:12:55,399
That Muslim,
no-good-for-nothing,
278
00:12:55,441 --> 00:12:58,110
- Communist piece of shit!
- [all] Yeah!
279
00:12:58,152 --> 00:12:59,445
- [speaker] It's bullshit!
- Bullshit!
280
00:12:59,487 --> 00:13:02,531
And guess what, Obama?
You're fired!
281
00:13:02,573 --> 00:13:04,700
[crowd whooping]
282
00:13:04,742 --> 00:13:06,869
[reporter]
Tonight, Sarah Palin is back.
283
00:13:06,911 --> 00:13:10,372
Are you ready to make
America great again?
284
00:13:10,414 --> 00:13:12,291
[reporter]
Shaking up the Republican race
285
00:13:12,333 --> 00:13:15,211
with just 13 days to go
before the Iowa caucuses.
286
00:13:15,252 --> 00:13:18,255
Build that wall!
Build that wall!
287
00:13:18,297 --> 00:13:20,466
- Build that wall!
- [crowd whooping]
288
00:13:20,508 --> 00:13:22,259
[Sarah]
You want to be in America?
289
00:13:22,301 --> 00:13:24,136
A, you better
be here illegally,
290
00:13:24,178 --> 00:13:25,554
or you're outta here.
291
00:13:25,596 --> 00:13:28,474
B, when you're here,
let's speak American.
292
00:13:30,643 --> 00:13:31,936
[Madrid]
What they're tapping into
293
00:13:31,977 --> 00:13:36,482
is this peculiar
form of isolationism,
294
00:13:36,524 --> 00:13:39,068
and rejecting expertise,
295
00:13:39,109 --> 00:13:42,154
and claiming it as a virtue.
296
00:13:42,822 --> 00:13:46,492
It began in that moment.
It had always been there,
297
00:13:46,534 --> 00:13:49,036
but that's where it was given
the imprimatur of the party,
298
00:13:49,078 --> 00:13:51,747
at the highest levels.
299
00:13:54,375 --> 00:13:56,877
And the party's
never turned back.
300
00:14:03,175 --> 00:14:06,428
edgy music
301
00:14:06,470 --> 00:14:09,139
[reporter] With eight days
left until the election,
302
00:14:09,181 --> 00:14:12,810
early voting has already
soared to record highs.
303
00:14:16,522 --> 00:14:20,150
More than 60 million people
have cast ballots.
304
00:14:20,192 --> 00:14:22,528
[reporter] Trump continues
to cast doubt
305
00:14:22,570 --> 00:14:24,864
on the integrity
of the election,
306
00:14:24,905 --> 00:14:27,992
making outlandish predictions
of widespread fraud,
307
00:14:28,033 --> 00:14:29,702
as he did today,
308
00:14:29,743 --> 00:14:32,121
while speaking
to voters in Pennsylvania.
309
00:14:32,162 --> 00:14:35,791
We're watching you, Governor,
very closely, in Philadelphia.
310
00:14:35,833 --> 00:14:37,835
We're watching you.
311
00:14:37,877 --> 00:14:39,378
[reporter] This morning,
Texas Governor Greg Abbott
312
00:14:39,420 --> 00:14:41,046
restricting the number
of ballot drop boxes
313
00:14:41,088 --> 00:14:44,550
in each of the state's
counties to just one.
314
00:14:44,592 --> 00:14:45,885
[reporter] Harris County,
315
00:14:45,926 --> 00:14:47,553
which includes
the city of Houston,
316
00:14:47,595 --> 00:14:51,891
is nearly 1,800 square miles.
Larger than Rhode Island.
317
00:14:51,932 --> 00:14:54,852
[voter] The bus ain't gonna
bring you here.
318
00:14:54,894 --> 00:14:56,604
You can't walk across
this parking lot.
319
00:14:56,645 --> 00:14:58,063
They're not gonna let you,
320
00:14:58,105 --> 00:15:00,941
so you have to have
some type of vehicle
321
00:15:00,983 --> 00:15:03,652
to get you into this location.
322
00:15:03,694 --> 00:15:05,237
[anchor] It's just impossible
to imagine
323
00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:07,948
what Governor Abbott
is doing here
324
00:15:07,990 --> 00:15:10,409
other than restricting
voting access.
325
00:15:14,204 --> 00:15:16,707
We are fundraising.
10 million for Texas,
326
00:15:16,749 --> 00:15:18,459
so we're doing a big media
push on it,
327
00:15:18,500 --> 00:15:20,878
to try to help with
that fundraising effort.
328
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,005
- [caller] Okey-dokey.
- So I need...
329
00:15:23,047 --> 00:15:24,256
[Ryan]
So 10 for Texas is an idea
330
00:15:24,298 --> 00:15:26,592
that Rick and John
have come up with,
331
00:15:26,634 --> 00:15:31,347
the founders, about raising
10 million for Texas.
332
00:15:31,388 --> 00:15:34,934
John lives in Austin, Texas.
333
00:15:34,975 --> 00:15:38,729
John, do we know when we're
looking at taking that live?
334
00:15:38,771 --> 00:15:43,609
He's still recovering from his
heart condition that he had,
335
00:15:43,651 --> 00:15:45,444
but he knows Texas
better than any of us
336
00:15:45,486 --> 00:15:46,862
are gonna know Texas.
337
00:15:46,904 --> 00:15:48,614
[commentator]
And I do think Joe Biden
338
00:15:48,656 --> 00:15:50,449
has a chance in Texas,
and I'll tell you why, Cheryl.
339
00:15:50,491 --> 00:15:53,452
We just got off a call
with Weaver and Rick,
340
00:15:53,494 --> 00:15:57,122
on the 10 for Texas thing
that we're working on.
341
00:15:57,164 --> 00:15:59,083
Fran, I don't know if--
342
00:15:59,124 --> 00:16:02,336
[Fran] What is the 10
for--is that $10 million?
343
00:16:02,378 --> 00:16:06,090
[Ryan] Yes. We're trying
to do a push in Texas.
344
00:16:06,131 --> 00:16:08,092
[person] Just to
push back a little bit,
345
00:16:08,133 --> 00:16:09,718
and I just want to make sure
that we feel
346
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,763
that is the most efficient
place for our resources.
347
00:16:12,805 --> 00:16:15,099
There's nothing in the numbers
that backs up
348
00:16:15,140 --> 00:16:17,893
that this is worth
this level of investment.
349
00:16:17,935 --> 00:16:20,771
[Ryan] I totally could not
agree with you more.
350
00:16:20,813 --> 00:16:24,024
I will flag this for Rick
and let Rick or Reed
351
00:16:24,066 --> 00:16:25,985
call you back on it.
352
00:16:28,862 --> 00:16:31,991
[Rick] Suddenly, near the end
of the campaign,
353
00:16:32,032 --> 00:16:34,660
John Weaver's now attempting
to get back in,
354
00:16:34,702 --> 00:16:36,912
and we're like,
"Well, you're sick.
355
00:16:36,954 --> 00:16:39,289
This is not a good idea,"
356
00:16:39,331 --> 00:16:42,167
'cause I guess he probably
saw the campaign
357
00:16:42,209 --> 00:16:43,752
maybe was gonna pass him by,
358
00:16:43,794 --> 00:16:45,504
and he wouldn't get
what he saw
359
00:16:45,546 --> 00:16:48,799
as his due share
of the credit.
360
00:16:48,841 --> 00:16:50,592
But the truth is we were
never gonna spend
361
00:16:50,634 --> 00:16:52,845
$10 million in Texas
in October.
362
00:16:52,886 --> 00:16:54,888
Like, we're just never
going to do that.
363
00:16:56,890 --> 00:16:58,934
[reporter] This is what it
looked like, in 2016.
364
00:16:58,976 --> 00:17:00,352
Remember,
this is how Trump won.
365
00:17:00,394 --> 00:17:02,312
[Rick] John Weaver would
call me, and call me,
366
00:17:02,354 --> 00:17:04,773
and call me constantly.
367
00:17:04,815 --> 00:17:07,401
And I decided to be
the lightning rod,
368
00:17:07,443 --> 00:17:10,446
because I didn't want them
to have to deal with it.
369
00:17:10,487 --> 00:17:13,949
I'm like, "Guys, I will
manage the John situation.
370
00:17:13,991 --> 00:17:16,994
I will yes John to death,
on this."
371
00:17:17,036 --> 00:17:18,579
[reporter]
He could get Arizona.
372
00:17:18,620 --> 00:17:21,623
He could pick up Georgia.
He'd be over 270.
373
00:17:21,665 --> 00:17:23,625
There are a number
of other options
374
00:17:23,667 --> 00:17:25,502
that present themselves
for Joe Biden.
375
00:17:29,214 --> 00:17:32,843
[Sarah] So Mom, hi.
This is Jennifer Horn.
376
00:17:32,885 --> 00:17:34,928
She's one of the founders
of the Lincoln Project.
377
00:17:34,970 --> 00:17:37,181
Hi, Mrs. Lenti. How are you?
378
00:17:37,222 --> 00:17:39,850
- Please call me Carol.
- [Horn] Thank you.
379
00:17:39,892 --> 00:17:41,393
So Jennifer was the head
of the Republican Party
380
00:17:41,435 --> 00:17:44,313
for New Hampshire.
Dyed-in-the-wool Republican.
381
00:17:44,354 --> 00:17:46,023
I am not just a lifelong
Republican.
382
00:17:46,065 --> 00:17:48,817
I'm a lifelong Catholic,
as well. I was raised--
383
00:17:48,859 --> 00:17:50,652
[Sarah]
In these last couple days,
384
00:17:50,694 --> 00:17:55,032
I want my mom to hear that
there are pro-life women,
385
00:17:55,074 --> 00:17:57,409
like Jennifer, who are
conservatives first,
386
00:17:57,451 --> 00:17:59,078
who are part of this team.
387
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,830
Maybe Jennifer's perspective--
she'd be open to it,
388
00:18:01,872 --> 00:18:04,708
because it was from
another woman of faith.
389
00:18:04,750 --> 00:18:08,212
And because I'm kind of
more conservative,
390
00:18:08,253 --> 00:18:10,964
I've always been Republican.
I've always voted Republican.
391
00:18:11,006 --> 00:18:14,718
But Donald Trump changed
all of that for me.
392
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,721
Well, first of all, Joe Biden
and Donald Trump--
393
00:18:17,763 --> 00:18:20,349
neither of them are choir boys,
394
00:18:20,390 --> 00:18:22,267
and I wouldn't want
my daughter
395
00:18:22,309 --> 00:18:24,645
to date either of 'em,
to be perfectly honest.
396
00:18:24,686 --> 00:18:27,648
However, Sarah--however,
397
00:18:27,689 --> 00:18:30,234
I am an issue voter,
398
00:18:30,275 --> 00:18:32,986
and I really believe
that we are created
399
00:18:33,028 --> 00:18:35,072
in the image of God
400
00:18:35,114 --> 00:18:39,284
and that when it was made
legal it was easier to think,
401
00:18:39,326 --> 00:18:41,453
"Well, if it does happen,
I can end it."
402
00:18:41,495 --> 00:18:44,748
When before, it wasn't
that easy to do.
403
00:18:44,790 --> 00:18:46,416
You know what, Carol,
I don't disagree with you
404
00:18:46,458 --> 00:18:48,293
on a lot of what
you're talking about,
405
00:18:48,335 --> 00:18:52,422
but Donald Trump, to me,
he is instilling a culture
406
00:18:52,464 --> 00:18:56,135
that is truly anti
the value of life.
407
00:18:56,176 --> 00:18:58,720
So I don't feel like I am,
in any way,
408
00:18:58,762 --> 00:19:02,141
betraying my faith
or my religious upbringing
409
00:19:02,182 --> 00:19:04,518
when I vote
against Donald Trump.
410
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,019
I'm not crazy about him either,
411
00:19:06,061 --> 00:19:08,230
but no one
is beyond redemption,
412
00:19:08,272 --> 00:19:11,483
so let's understand that,
you know, he can change too.
413
00:19:11,525 --> 00:19:15,320
[Sarah] But Trump is the
antithesis of everything
414
00:19:15,362 --> 00:19:17,281
that a Godly man should be.
415
00:19:17,322 --> 00:19:19,992
I don't want my sons
to ever model that behavior,
416
00:19:20,033 --> 00:19:23,662
and that behavior
starts at the top.
417
00:19:23,704 --> 00:19:27,124
And having that kid
go to Kenosha and shoot--
418
00:19:27,166 --> 00:19:29,418
There have been a lot
of Biden followers
419
00:19:29,459 --> 00:19:31,086
that have shot people,
and looted,
420
00:19:31,128 --> 00:19:33,380
and rioted also, so--
421
00:19:33,422 --> 00:19:36,133
We're talking about life.
Looting is one thing.
422
00:19:36,175 --> 00:19:37,593
Shooting two people.
423
00:19:37,634 --> 00:19:40,470
Killing people
is another thing, to me.
424
00:19:40,512 --> 00:19:43,140
Like, that's enough.
425
00:19:43,182 --> 00:19:47,019
You are so angry,
and you hate him so much.
426
00:19:47,060 --> 00:19:50,814
That is what you're running on,
instead of running on issues.
427
00:19:50,856 --> 00:19:54,193
I feel like I have
a better chance,
428
00:19:54,234 --> 00:19:55,777
in the pro-life arena,
429
00:19:55,819 --> 00:19:58,155
with Donald Trump
as president
430
00:19:58,197 --> 00:20:01,116
and a conservative
White House.
431
00:20:08,916 --> 00:20:11,376
Trump's going to Atlanta,
and they're spending.
432
00:20:11,418 --> 00:20:13,045
Zack, how much are they
spending on Atlanta?
433
00:20:13,086 --> 00:20:14,504
They're spending, like,
$50 million.
434
00:20:14,546 --> 00:20:16,215
Or no, sorry.
It's 2:1 in Georgia.
435
00:20:16,256 --> 00:20:17,716
I think it's like eight
to four, I want to say.
436
00:20:17,758 --> 00:20:19,384
Let me double check
those numbers and make sure.
437
00:20:19,426 --> 00:20:22,054
Yeah. I mean, they're spending
400 or 500 grand a week,
438
00:20:22,095 --> 00:20:24,389
in Atlanta, which is nuts,
439
00:20:24,431 --> 00:20:26,016
because the polling
that came out today
440
00:20:26,058 --> 00:20:27,726
shows it's a dead heat.
441
00:20:27,768 --> 00:20:29,561
If you have high
African-American turnout
442
00:20:29,603 --> 00:20:32,397
or something,
a model similar to 2018,
443
00:20:32,439 --> 00:20:33,732
I think I'm a little bit
more bullish
444
00:20:33,774 --> 00:20:35,525
on Georgia than most folks.
445
00:20:35,567 --> 00:20:37,361
I mean they've spent, like,
a no bullshit amount of money.
446
00:20:37,402 --> 00:20:38,904
[Madrid] They're seeing
the same numbers we're seeing.
447
00:20:38,946 --> 00:20:39,738
They're seeing
what we're seeing.
448
00:20:39,780 --> 00:20:41,573
[person] Yeah.
449
00:20:41,615 --> 00:20:43,575
- So Georgia?
- [person] Georgia.
450
00:20:43,617 --> 00:20:47,871
Georgia?
Yeah.
451
00:20:47,913 --> 00:20:50,958
energetic music
452
00:20:53,627 --> 00:20:54,753
[reporter]
In some parts of Georgia,
453
00:20:54,795 --> 00:20:56,922
it already looks
like election day.
454
00:20:56,964 --> 00:20:58,298
How long have you guys
been out here, so far?
455
00:20:58,340 --> 00:20:59,800
[both] Four hours.
456
00:20:59,841 --> 00:21:01,760
It could have rained.
It could have snowed.
457
00:21:01,802 --> 00:21:03,595
I would not care.
458
00:21:03,637 --> 00:21:05,764
- You're not going anywhere?
- I'm not going anywhere.
459
00:21:05,806 --> 00:21:07,849
[Biden] It's time to stand up
460
00:21:07,891 --> 00:21:11,103
and take back our democracy.
461
00:21:11,144 --> 00:21:13,188
We win Georgia,
we win everything.
462
00:21:14,481 --> 00:21:16,191
Give me one second.
463
00:21:18,986 --> 00:21:20,445
Politically speaking,
464
00:21:20,487 --> 00:21:21,947
I've done more work
on the Republican side,
465
00:21:21,989 --> 00:21:24,032
but I've always
been Independent.
466
00:21:24,074 --> 00:21:26,618
And so I worked
with Republican candidates
467
00:21:26,660 --> 00:21:29,621
who I thought could move
more into that middle space,
468
00:21:29,663 --> 00:21:32,958
so John Kasich,
in 2015, for instance.
469
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,835
I think the betterment
of America was found
470
00:21:34,876 --> 00:21:37,296
in that middle space,
471
00:21:37,337 --> 00:21:39,548
so I'm very electorally
pragmatic, I would say.
472
00:21:41,675 --> 00:21:45,345
[Trump] And I say it all the
time, I say it like this.
473
00:21:45,387 --> 00:21:47,597
With the possible exception
of Abraham Lincoln,
474
00:21:47,639 --> 00:21:51,310
a lot of people like me to
leave the word "possible" out,
475
00:21:51,351 --> 00:21:53,979
there is no president
that has done more
476
00:21:54,021 --> 00:21:56,815
for the Black community
than Donald Trump.
477
00:21:56,857 --> 00:21:59,359
It's true.
478
00:21:59,401 --> 00:22:00,861
[Rick] Unbelievable.
479
00:22:00,902 --> 00:22:03,447
Welcome back, Nate Nesbitt.
Nate is back with us.
480
00:22:03,488 --> 00:22:06,825
The Lincoln Project's
national press secretary.
481
00:22:06,867 --> 00:22:08,994
Unlike any president
I've ever seen,
482
00:22:09,036 --> 00:22:13,498
Donald Trump has looked to both
suppress and subtract the vote,
483
00:22:13,540 --> 00:22:15,834
and he's keyed in
on a particular demographic
484
00:22:15,876 --> 00:22:17,502
within the Black community,
485
00:22:17,544 --> 00:22:19,338
and that's Black young men,
486
00:22:19,379 --> 00:22:21,673
and it's important that we
turn them out and that we...
487
00:22:21,715 --> 00:22:25,427
I think most of white America
understands white America.
488
00:22:25,469 --> 00:22:27,429
You run into it
with conservatives.
489
00:22:27,471 --> 00:22:29,348
You run into it with liberals.
490
00:22:29,389 --> 00:22:32,934
It's still not a full extension
of freedom and liberty,
491
00:22:32,976 --> 00:22:36,355
and irrespective of which way
you swung it politically,
492
00:22:36,396 --> 00:22:40,150
I'd still be having this
fight in different ways.
493
00:22:40,192 --> 00:22:41,693
[speaker] Yes indeed. Yes
indeed. What's happening?
494
00:22:41,735 --> 00:22:43,570
Welcome to Vote or Die,
495
00:22:43,612 --> 00:22:45,322
the roundtable with
the Black man's perspective.
496
00:22:45,364 --> 00:22:46,865
My name is Big Tigger.
497
00:22:46,907 --> 00:22:48,909
We are in front of a live
audience. I want you to be--
498
00:22:48,950 --> 00:22:50,535
[Nate] I wish I had
a longer runway on this,
499
00:22:50,577 --> 00:22:53,372
but my desire,
as we near election day,
500
00:22:53,413 --> 00:22:56,583
is to be able to push
for the vote, for our people.
501
00:22:56,625 --> 00:22:59,878
I think those things need
to take place a lot more often.
502
00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:03,173
My name is Antonio,
but how are we supposed to vote
503
00:23:03,215 --> 00:23:06,510
when we getting killed out here
by the police every day?
504
00:23:06,551 --> 00:23:10,472
[T.I.] If you didn't get killed
today...
505
00:23:10,514 --> 00:23:13,308
you can vote tomorrow,
all right?
506
00:23:13,350 --> 00:23:15,894
If you live long enough,
507
00:23:15,936 --> 00:23:18,230
you do that in honor
of everyone else
508
00:23:18,271 --> 00:23:20,899
who didn't make it
to see that day.
509
00:23:20,941 --> 00:23:22,567
[YelloPain] Just people that
show up to vote,
510
00:23:22,609 --> 00:23:24,319
every single election,
511
00:23:24,361 --> 00:23:26,988
and they care about
what they voting for.
512
00:23:27,030 --> 00:23:29,241
They not your people.
They don't represent you.
513
00:23:29,282 --> 00:23:30,909
They making decisions
about your life,
514
00:23:30,951 --> 00:23:33,995
so who gonna stand up
and make a decision for you?
515
00:23:34,037 --> 00:23:35,914
I like to do things people
say I can't do.
516
00:23:35,956 --> 00:23:38,834
Me personally.
If you tell me I can't do this,
517
00:23:38,875 --> 00:23:41,586
I'ma make a way,
if I can, to do it.
518
00:23:41,628 --> 00:23:43,422
And so for me,
voting just made me feel like
519
00:23:43,463 --> 00:23:45,090
I was a part of something,
520
00:23:45,132 --> 00:23:46,758
like, that somebody told me
I couldn't be a part of.
521
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,802
[Big Tigger] Right.
Don't be dying to fit in
522
00:23:48,844 --> 00:23:50,887
when you were born to stand up.
523
00:23:50,929 --> 00:23:52,806
I want to
thank you for joining us.
524
00:23:52,848 --> 00:23:56,601
Shout out to Lincoln Project.
Grass roots law project.
525
00:23:56,643 --> 00:23:59,354
This has been Vote or Die,
the Black male perspective.
526
00:24:05,068 --> 00:24:07,112
[Nate] I cannot say
I'm at peace
527
00:24:07,154 --> 00:24:10,824
with where I think
this country is going.
528
00:24:10,866 --> 00:24:14,619
You know, this town hall makes
the argument plain and clear
529
00:24:14,661 --> 00:24:17,164
of why we must turn out
to vote, in this moment.
530
00:24:25,422 --> 00:24:29,134
So get this. I just finished
an hour, uh, Zoom
531
00:24:29,176 --> 00:24:30,969
with all of
Demi Lovato's people.
532
00:24:31,011 --> 00:24:34,222
She did a song, and the Lincoln
Project is gonna premiere it.
533
00:24:34,264 --> 00:24:35,765
[daughter]
Oh, my God. I love it.
534
00:24:35,807 --> 00:24:38,435
A song and a video called
"Commander in Chief."
535
00:24:38,477 --> 00:24:42,564
And it's tremendous, so we're
working out all the details.
536
00:24:42,606 --> 00:24:44,816
We're gonna release it, like,
the next 24-48 hours.
537
00:24:44,858 --> 00:24:47,819
[daughter] Oh, my God. I love
that. That's amazing.
538
00:24:50,197 --> 00:24:53,992
Okay. What am I doing?
539
00:24:54,034 --> 00:24:56,286
Close your eyes,
and listen to the song.
540
00:24:56,328 --> 00:24:58,497
What do you see?
541
00:25:01,958 --> 00:25:05,629
[Lovato] Were you ever taught
when you were young
542
00:25:05,670 --> 00:25:07,547
If you mess
with things selfishly
543
00:25:07,589 --> 00:25:08,590
They're bound
to come undone
544
00:25:08,632 --> 00:25:10,133
I'm not the only one
545
00:25:14,429 --> 00:25:17,557
[Ryan] It's a big project,
and you're feeling overwhelmed,
546
00:25:17,599 --> 00:25:20,101
but you've got this.
547
00:25:20,143 --> 00:25:24,064
Washington Square Park. Riots.
Cops. George Floyd.
548
00:25:24,105 --> 00:25:25,774
- [Ryan] Breonna Taylor.
- Breonna Taylor.
549
00:25:25,815 --> 00:25:27,025
[Ryan] "Commander in Chief."
550
00:25:27,067 --> 00:25:28,360
How does it feel
to still be able to breathe?
551
00:25:28,401 --> 00:25:30,487
That is all violence.
552
00:25:30,529 --> 00:25:32,989
When we get to "Won't give up.
Stand our ground,"
553
00:25:33,031 --> 00:25:36,368
that's when you start
showing the positive stuff.
554
00:25:36,409 --> 00:25:37,661
[person] And then, Rick,
555
00:25:37,702 --> 00:25:39,538
you've also got
Demi Lovato, right?
556
00:25:39,579 --> 00:25:42,040
[Madrid]
Is this a strategic thing?
557
00:25:42,082 --> 00:25:46,878
One hundred million followers.
1% of them join us, it's--
558
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,048
[Madrid] This could be a
really good fundraising push.
559
00:25:50,090 --> 00:25:52,634
Like really good.
560
00:25:52,676 --> 00:25:55,136
[Kate]
I hate pulling these clips of,
561
00:25:55,178 --> 00:25:58,306
like, George Floyd's brother,
like, on the ground, in tears.
562
00:25:58,348 --> 00:26:00,225
[Rick] I know.
I know you do.
563
00:26:00,267 --> 00:26:03,061
- It feels so exploitative.
- [Rick] But you know what?
564
00:26:03,103 --> 00:26:05,438
You are reaching emotional
resonance with people.
565
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,276
It's not exploitative.
This is what people need,
566
00:26:09,317 --> 00:26:12,696
in this moment,
to catalyze around.
567
00:26:12,737 --> 00:26:14,990
All the stress
on the country right now.
568
00:26:15,031 --> 00:26:20,161
moody music
569
00:26:20,203 --> 00:26:22,789
[Rick] We're all taking a
break, and going to have food
570
00:26:22,831 --> 00:26:24,583
downtown,
in beautiful Park City.
571
00:26:24,624 --> 00:26:26,376
[Kate] I don't know
the meaning of the word break.
572
00:26:26,418 --> 00:26:28,712
[Ryan] Too bad.
You're gonna take a break.
573
00:26:28,753 --> 00:26:30,755
I'm the mom here, remember?
574
00:26:33,091 --> 00:26:35,427
These are my surrogate parents.
575
00:26:44,311 --> 00:26:46,563
We are gonna close in,
by the end of this week,
576
00:26:46,605 --> 00:26:50,108
on around 200 ads produced
in the last nine months.
577
00:26:51,818 --> 00:26:54,779
Our daytime show
is doing huge numbers.
578
00:26:54,821 --> 00:26:58,742
Our daytime show streamed
more people than MSNBC had on,
579
00:26:58,783 --> 00:27:01,244
at one point, last week.
Thank you.
580
00:27:01,286 --> 00:27:04,664
Which is kind of
a remarkable experience.
581
00:27:04,706 --> 00:27:07,375
Hopefully, we're gonna launch
a Demi Lovato video
582
00:27:07,417 --> 00:27:09,961
that they gave us permission
to use today
583
00:27:10,003 --> 00:27:11,338
that we're making
a video for her.
584
00:27:11,379 --> 00:27:13,089
So I don't think
we have a TikTok now,
585
00:27:13,131 --> 00:27:15,842
but we're about to.
[laughs]
586
00:27:15,884 --> 00:27:18,345
We're in the democracy
business now.
587
00:27:18,386 --> 00:27:22,182
Our product is rebellion
and democracy.
588
00:27:22,223 --> 00:27:23,892
The skill set
we've brought into it
589
00:27:23,933 --> 00:27:27,312
and the audience we built
for it is fungible.
590
00:27:29,939 --> 00:27:33,151
Hey, Siri. Call Ra Kumar.
591
00:27:34,069 --> 00:27:36,696
Did you get that spreadsheet
I sent you?
592
00:27:36,738 --> 00:27:39,324
So yesterday, a friend
of mine in the Valley.
593
00:27:39,366 --> 00:27:40,825
He's a venture guy.
594
00:27:40,867 --> 00:27:45,163
He's not a media guy,
and he says, "Dude,
595
00:27:45,205 --> 00:27:49,501
our social media footprint
of ad views is insane."
596
00:27:49,542 --> 00:27:54,005
Just on YouTube, over 200
million views for our ads.
597
00:27:54,047 --> 00:27:55,924
Just on YouTube.
598
00:27:55,965 --> 00:27:59,844
Some of those numbers
are like CNN numbers.
599
00:27:59,886 --> 00:28:01,262
He goes, "If people knew
these numbers,
600
00:28:01,304 --> 00:28:03,431
they'd be beating
your door down."
601
00:28:03,473 --> 00:28:05,016
We're talking about
602
00:28:05,058 --> 00:28:08,645
a $25-55 million a round.
603
00:28:08,687 --> 00:28:10,980
I mean fuck me.
604
00:28:14,192 --> 00:28:16,611
So you have my full proxy,
as always.
605
00:28:16,653 --> 00:28:18,363
All right.
Thanks, brother. See you.
606
00:28:21,157 --> 00:28:22,534
How are we feeling, Kate?
607
00:28:22,575 --> 00:28:24,035
[Kate] We're feeling good.
608
00:28:24,077 --> 00:28:26,913
[Rick] Are we feeling good?
Can I see what we got?
609
00:28:26,955 --> 00:28:30,041
[Lovato] Won't give up,
stand our ground
610
00:28:30,083 --> 00:28:33,461
We'll be in the streets,
for your commander-in-chief
611
00:28:33,503 --> 00:28:35,505
Honestly
612
00:28:39,509 --> 00:28:41,886
You fucking nailed it.
613
00:28:41,928 --> 00:28:43,304
[Ryan] It's so good, Kate.
614
00:28:43,346 --> 00:28:44,639
Fucking nailed it.
615
00:28:44,681 --> 00:28:46,766
- [Ryan] Isn't it amazing?
- Whoo!
616
00:28:47,851 --> 00:28:50,228
Wow.
617
00:28:50,270 --> 00:28:53,898
We're about to wreck
the internet with this, okay?
618
00:29:03,908 --> 00:29:06,411
[Conor] One day a week, I will
just drive out this way,
619
00:29:06,453 --> 00:29:11,040
because I just need to,
like, get away from screens
620
00:29:11,082 --> 00:29:12,834
and everything
and just chill out.
621
00:29:20,508 --> 00:29:23,094
If we don't get the outcome
we want from the election,
622
00:29:23,136 --> 00:29:25,889
this is, like, the last normal
weeks for a long time.
623
00:29:32,353 --> 00:29:36,357
The world is ugly, if...
624
00:29:36,399 --> 00:29:37,650
the United States
625
00:29:37,692 --> 00:29:40,862
is in democratic crisis, right?
626
00:29:40,904 --> 00:29:42,405
Or if American democracy
is in trouble.
627
00:29:42,447 --> 00:29:43,907
The world's in trouble.
628
00:29:46,785 --> 00:29:48,620
If that happens,
I mean it's a protracted,
629
00:29:48,661 --> 00:29:52,248
decade-long bad situation,
630
00:29:52,290 --> 00:29:56,920
and it's just sort of
like--this might be
631
00:29:56,961 --> 00:30:00,799
the last normal couple weeks
we all get for a while.
632
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,843
So enjoy it.
633
00:30:12,519 --> 00:30:15,438
Win or lose,
just no offense, everybody,
634
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,941
I would rather be
in my own house with my husband
635
00:30:17,982 --> 00:30:20,652
and, um, you know,
636
00:30:20,693 --> 00:30:23,655
there's a lot at stake, so.
637
00:30:23,696 --> 00:30:25,990
You can say that twice.
638
00:30:29,577 --> 00:30:33,206
I think we did the best with
a very difficult situation.
639
00:30:33,248 --> 00:30:35,291
With people from different
political backgrounds,
640
00:30:35,333 --> 00:30:37,001
and political parties
and views,
641
00:30:37,043 --> 00:30:40,672
which doesn't usually happen,
on a campaign.
642
00:30:40,713 --> 00:30:41,965
And all of us
have different reasons
643
00:30:42,006 --> 00:30:43,675
for supporting Joe Biden.
644
00:30:43,716 --> 00:30:45,009
I think the reason why I might
be here is very different
645
00:30:45,051 --> 00:30:46,803
than the reason
why someone else is,
646
00:30:46,845 --> 00:30:49,639
and so that adds a different
dynamic than you usually get,
647
00:30:49,681 --> 00:30:51,599
in most campaigns...
648
00:30:53,726 --> 00:30:55,436
And can add some conflict.
649
00:31:18,585 --> 00:31:20,503
[host] It seems, on the basis
of what we've been reading
650
00:31:20,545 --> 00:31:22,213
in Axios this morning
651
00:31:22,255 --> 00:31:24,340
and other places that you guys
have a longer-term ambition
652
00:31:24,382 --> 00:31:26,718
now that goes beyond,
in terms of advocacy.
653
00:31:26,759 --> 00:31:28,803
It goes beyond
just beating Donald Trump.
654
00:31:28,845 --> 00:31:30,471
It goes to some larger--
655
00:31:30,513 --> 00:31:33,349
[Horn] The Axios article
came out on a morning
656
00:31:33,391 --> 00:31:34,726
when Reed and I
were doing interview
657
00:31:34,767 --> 00:31:37,186
on Morning Joe together.
658
00:31:37,228 --> 00:31:39,856
I was sitting there miked up,
ready to be interviewed.
659
00:31:39,898 --> 00:31:43,735
Had never heard of it before,
but they asked Reed about it.
660
00:31:43,776 --> 00:31:48,740
Like, what's life after Trump
like, for the Lincoln Project?
661
00:31:48,781 --> 00:31:51,075
Sure. Well, first and foremost,
I think, like the rest of us
662
00:31:51,117 --> 00:31:53,202
who are dedicated
to beating him,
663
00:31:53,244 --> 00:31:54,746
we've got seven more days
to go until--
664
00:31:54,787 --> 00:31:56,789
[Horn] And he kind of blew off
the question,
665
00:31:56,831 --> 00:31:57,582
and thank God
they didn't ask me,
666
00:31:57,624 --> 00:31:59,918
because I knew nothing.
667
00:31:59,959 --> 00:32:03,171
I was shocked.
Got off the air, texted Sarah,
668
00:32:03,212 --> 00:32:05,214
and said,
"What is this all about?"
669
00:32:09,302 --> 00:32:11,054
[Horn] Steve, do you want
to address the Axios?
670
00:32:11,095 --> 00:32:14,849
Because I know a lot
of people have questions.
671
00:32:14,891 --> 00:32:17,518
[Steve] You all, I just
want to say something.
672
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,604
I'm pissed about it.
673
00:32:19,646 --> 00:32:20,939
[Horn] Yeah.
[Steve] No one gets more
674
00:32:20,980 --> 00:32:23,441
pissed about it than I am.
675
00:32:23,483 --> 00:32:25,902
The story is not correct.
676
00:32:25,944 --> 00:32:27,612
Questions?
677
00:32:27,654 --> 00:32:30,365
Yeah. Do we know
how it happened?
678
00:32:30,406 --> 00:32:31,783
[Sarah]
Didn't they--weren't they over
679
00:32:31,824 --> 00:32:33,034
there interviewing you
and Rick?
680
00:32:33,076 --> 00:32:34,577
No, no. Yes.
681
00:32:34,619 --> 00:32:37,413
We had fully intended
to do a story with Axios.
682
00:32:37,455 --> 00:32:40,833
My question is why did
Rick's agent tell them that?
683
00:33:01,980 --> 00:33:06,693
[Steve] Ron?
Ron, call me real quick.
684
00:33:06,734 --> 00:33:07,986
Yeah.
685
00:33:14,784 --> 00:33:17,328
Hey.
686
00:33:20,665 --> 00:33:23,793
[Ron] I understand that,
but here is my request.
687
00:33:23,835 --> 00:33:26,129
I would appreciate
a lot more communication
688
00:33:26,170 --> 00:33:29,007
about whatever it is that
may or may not be happening,
689
00:33:29,048 --> 00:33:32,176
because I feel like
I haven't been in the loop.
690
00:33:32,218 --> 00:33:33,678
And I don't want
to read headlines
691
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,014
and have that be the first
I hear of something.
692
00:33:38,641 --> 00:33:41,519
[Ron] Okay. Okay bye.
693
00:33:48,401 --> 00:33:50,361
[Steve] Story is not correct.
694
00:33:50,403 --> 00:33:53,865
We have no representation
in Hollywood.
695
00:33:53,906 --> 00:33:57,160
We've had no discussions
with each other,
696
00:33:57,201 --> 00:33:59,871
other than
political discussions.
697
00:33:59,912 --> 00:34:02,623
Like, we're all doing
the same thing every day.
698
00:34:02,665 --> 00:34:05,209
We have talked to
the EPA guys,
699
00:34:05,251 --> 00:34:06,961
and we've talked
to other people
700
00:34:07,003 --> 00:34:11,132
who all have thoughts about
opportunities in the future.
701
00:34:11,174 --> 00:34:15,386
We've signed no papers.
There are no deals.
702
00:34:15,428 --> 00:34:19,265
The story is being
corrected by Axios.
703
00:34:19,307 --> 00:34:21,017
[Madrid]
The Axios article came out,
704
00:34:21,059 --> 00:34:23,061
and it was very odd.
It was very peculiar.
705
00:34:23,102 --> 00:34:24,562
It never occurred to me
to go out
706
00:34:24,604 --> 00:34:27,732
and start a media company,
all right?
707
00:34:27,774 --> 00:34:29,400
That's not what I do.
708
00:34:29,442 --> 00:34:32,904
It's not what anybody
in the organization does.
709
00:34:32,945 --> 00:34:36,157
That's not necessarily bad,
but at a minimum,
710
00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:39,660
there needs to be
some discussion about it.
711
00:34:39,702 --> 00:34:41,037
[Edwards]
Well, I have a question.
712
00:34:41,079 --> 00:34:43,081
Why are we doing
any type of victory lap,
713
00:34:43,122 --> 00:34:47,710
seven days before the election
with that type of story?
714
00:34:47,752 --> 00:34:50,755
[Steve]
That's a good question, Keith,
715
00:34:50,797 --> 00:34:52,590
and we shouldn't.
716
00:34:52,632 --> 00:34:56,552
In a political organization
that moves fast,
717
00:34:56,594 --> 00:34:59,680
that's decentralized,
stuff happens.
718
00:35:02,058 --> 00:35:03,601
[Rick]
We had people calling us like,
719
00:35:03,643 --> 00:35:05,978
"We want you to form
a media company," after this.
720
00:35:06,020 --> 00:35:08,648
You know, we had taken
some very, very early,
721
00:35:08,689 --> 00:35:11,943
preliminary steps,
because we realized
722
00:35:11,984 --> 00:35:14,278
Trumpism isn't simply
a political problem.
723
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,739
It's a cultural problem,
724
00:35:16,781 --> 00:35:19,242
and my idea of the media
company, on the outside,
725
00:35:19,283 --> 00:35:21,911
was to use that platform
and that credibility
726
00:35:21,953 --> 00:35:26,249
we had to start influencing
the cultural space,
727
00:35:26,290 --> 00:35:29,961
to dismantle the perverse
incentives that make people go,
728
00:35:30,002 --> 00:35:32,463
"Hey, authoritarianism
is cool."
729
00:35:34,173 --> 00:35:36,092
There is an honest point here.
730
00:35:36,134 --> 00:35:38,469
The Lincoln Project
was a content machine
731
00:35:38,511 --> 00:35:40,930
dedicated to defeating
Donald Trump.
732
00:35:40,972 --> 00:35:42,723
It was the content
that mattered.
733
00:35:42,765 --> 00:35:44,642
It was the messengers
who could carry that content
734
00:35:44,684 --> 00:35:46,727
out into the national media
735
00:35:46,769 --> 00:35:49,939
and go to war with Donald
Trump's people every day.
736
00:35:49,981 --> 00:35:52,108
And that was me,
and that was Steve,
737
00:35:52,150 --> 00:35:54,652
and that was Reed,
and that was Stuart.
738
00:35:57,530 --> 00:36:00,283
[Madrid] I would like
to make a suggestion.
739
00:36:00,324 --> 00:36:05,079
I think that the founders need
to have a meeting with just us,
740
00:36:05,121 --> 00:36:07,123
to have kind of
a long-term discussion
741
00:36:07,165 --> 00:36:11,794
about a lot of things.
742
00:36:11,836 --> 00:36:13,796
We've never had that meeting.
I think it's time.
743
00:36:13,838 --> 00:36:18,176
[Ron] Yeah.
I think that's a good idea.
744
00:36:19,427 --> 00:36:24,307
[Horn] I'm in agreement.
I think it would be smart.
745
00:36:24,932 --> 00:36:28,477
[person] No objection here.
None whatsoever.
746
00:36:36,235 --> 00:36:40,448
[host] So as you know, we're
not fans of Rick Wilson here.
747
00:36:40,489 --> 00:36:42,158
Do you think these are
principled people,
748
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,160
or you think they're grifters
who are taking money?
749
00:36:44,202 --> 00:36:46,329
These spiteful losers
are looking for a way
750
00:36:46,370 --> 00:36:49,624
to enrich themselves while
empowering the very people
751
00:36:49,665 --> 00:36:51,709
who want to tear down
the traditions
752
00:36:51,751 --> 00:36:54,212
that they claim
to hold so dear.
753
00:36:54,253 --> 00:36:56,172
They just have, like, a new
business opportunity,
754
00:36:56,214 --> 00:36:57,423
is all that it is.
755
00:37:00,927 --> 00:37:02,637
[reporter] After bilking
Republicans for years,
756
00:37:02,678 --> 00:37:04,805
they're now
sucking up millions
757
00:37:04,847 --> 00:37:07,225
from duped Democrat voters.
758
00:37:08,851 --> 00:37:13,022
The Lincoln Project
is not your friend.
759
00:37:13,064 --> 00:37:15,233
Do not support
the Lincoln Project!
760
00:37:16,651 --> 00:37:18,527
[speaker]
What an incredible grift.
761
00:37:18,569 --> 00:37:19,862
What a great country
where you can make money
762
00:37:19,904 --> 00:37:22,031
doing stuff like this.
763
00:37:22,073 --> 00:37:23,658
It truly is incredible.
764
00:37:23,699 --> 00:37:27,536
I don't know. Why do they
need to believe this?
765
00:37:27,578 --> 00:37:29,497
Why is there this need?
766
00:37:29,538 --> 00:37:33,751
We have become the named
adversary of Trump.
767
00:37:33,793 --> 00:37:37,546
We've become, you know,
the nemesis of Trump,
768
00:37:37,588 --> 00:37:39,674
and therefore,
we must be attacked
769
00:37:39,715 --> 00:37:42,426
at all times by the right.
770
00:37:42,468 --> 00:37:45,930
The accusation that it's
a grift is projection,
771
00:37:45,972 --> 00:37:48,099
because they see what
the Trump campaign is.
772
00:37:48,140 --> 00:37:50,935
A billion-dollar grift.
773
00:37:50,977 --> 00:37:52,561
I mean,
we're a rounding error,
774
00:37:52,603 --> 00:37:53,688
compared to the Trump
campaign.
775
00:37:53,729 --> 00:37:55,856
- Sure.
- Well, I think we should
776
00:37:55,898 --> 00:37:58,776
also remember just on the like
who doesn't really dig us--
777
00:37:58,818 --> 00:38:00,903
it's also like
the professional left.
778
00:38:00,945 --> 00:38:02,321
Let's be clear.
779
00:38:02,363 --> 00:38:04,407
They still see us
as Republicans, right,
780
00:38:04,448 --> 00:38:07,410
and anything that gives
any sort of credit
781
00:38:07,451 --> 00:38:09,829
would mean that it took the
Republicans to beat this guy,
782
00:38:09,870 --> 00:38:11,038
'cause the Democrats couldn't.
783
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:12,665
[overlapping agreement]
784
00:38:12,707 --> 00:38:14,083
There's a part of me that says
"You know what?
785
00:38:14,125 --> 00:38:15,501
Like, I don't really
fucking care
786
00:38:15,543 --> 00:38:17,003
what any of these people say."
787
00:38:17,044 --> 00:38:19,672
[Rick] One of the topics
of conversation
788
00:38:19,714 --> 00:38:21,257
in the D.C. circles is,
789
00:38:21,299 --> 00:38:24,135
"How are they getting
all this amazing press?"
790
00:38:24,176 --> 00:38:26,887
Maybe because we're good
at getting press?
791
00:38:26,929 --> 00:38:30,099
[Rick] Which is exactly why
they are pissed off.
792
00:38:52,496 --> 00:38:56,834
[cheers and applause]
793
00:39:20,274 --> 00:39:24,028
[Rick] We had a founders-only
meeting at Steve's house...
794
00:39:24,403 --> 00:39:27,490
and Steve said to everybody,
795
00:39:27,531 --> 00:39:30,618
"We want to keep the Lincoln
Project going and expand it,
796
00:39:30,659 --> 00:39:32,119
and there may be an
opportunity
797
00:39:32,161 --> 00:39:33,704
for everyone around this table
798
00:39:33,746 --> 00:39:36,957
to join a media company,
and if we do it right,
799
00:39:36,999 --> 00:39:39,835
it can be something that we do
great things in the culture
800
00:39:39,877 --> 00:39:41,629
and that could generate
generational wealth
801
00:39:41,670 --> 00:39:43,506
for all of us if we sell it
at the right time
802
00:39:43,547 --> 00:39:45,007
in the future."
803
00:39:59,105 --> 00:40:01,982
- Hey.
- [Reed] Hey, how are you?
804
00:40:02,024 --> 00:40:03,359
[Sarah] I'm good.
How was the meeting?
805
00:40:03,401 --> 00:40:05,528
[Reed]
It was good. It was good.
806
00:40:05,569 --> 00:40:08,155
[Sarah] Was there a lot of
airing of grievances?
807
00:40:08,197 --> 00:40:11,158
- [Reed] Almost none.
- Oh, good. Wow.
808
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,369
[Reed]
In fact, I would say none.
809
00:40:13,411 --> 00:40:15,830
Okay. Unbelievable.
After all that?
810
00:40:15,871 --> 00:40:17,873
[Reed] Well, I mean
I talked to Mike.
811
00:40:17,915 --> 00:40:19,500
- Yeah.
- [Reed] And I told him that,
812
00:40:19,542 --> 00:40:20,876
if that was how
it was gonna be,
813
00:40:20,918 --> 00:40:22,086
it was gonna go downhill,
in a hurry.
814
00:40:22,128 --> 00:40:23,754
- Okay.
- [Reed] Steve ran it,
815
00:40:23,796 --> 00:40:25,506
so he basically like,
816
00:40:25,548 --> 00:40:27,258
"If you guys wanna be involved
you can be involved,"
817
00:40:27,299 --> 00:40:29,885
and you know, we'll get to
the hard things when it's like
818
00:40:29,927 --> 00:40:32,221
yes, when we say
you're an equity partner
819
00:40:32,263 --> 00:40:34,765
that means you get 1%
of the company. You know.
820
00:40:34,807 --> 00:40:37,601
- Uh-huh, uh-huh.
- We didn't do any of that,
821
00:40:37,643 --> 00:40:39,103
so I think letting Steve
take the lead, too,
822
00:40:39,145 --> 00:40:41,605
helps because they might
push back on me.
823
00:40:41,647 --> 00:40:43,149
They're not gonna
push back on him, right?
824
00:40:43,190 --> 00:40:47,069
No they won't. No. Yep. Good.
825
00:40:47,111 --> 00:40:48,446
[Reed]
So but that we also said
826
00:40:48,487 --> 00:40:50,156
there's no discussion
on that front,
827
00:40:50,197 --> 00:40:52,741
until and unless we solve
our black box problem, so--
828
00:40:52,783 --> 00:40:54,952
- Got it.
- [Reed] As we called it.
829
00:40:54,994 --> 00:40:56,662
- Got it. Yeah.
- [Reed] All right. Perfect.
830
00:40:56,704 --> 00:40:57,663
Hey, there's Rick.
Let me call you back.
831
00:40:57,705 --> 00:40:58,747
Okay. Bye.
832
00:40:58,789 --> 00:41:02,126
moody music
833
00:41:37,161 --> 00:41:38,329
- Good way to put it.
- Yeah.
834
00:41:40,164 --> 00:41:41,165
Yes.
835
00:41:47,254 --> 00:41:49,507
Yeah. Fair enough. Well put.
836
00:41:49,548 --> 00:41:50,966
Yeah. I can't--
837
00:41:54,386 --> 00:41:56,222
Hello.
838
00:41:56,639 --> 00:41:58,682
Didn't realize
they were right there,
839
00:41:58,724 --> 00:42:01,060
but I'm good with
where we are, so--
840
00:42:01,101 --> 00:42:02,353
- Yeah.
- All right.
841
00:42:02,394 --> 00:42:03,604
- I thought it was good.
- Yeah.
842
00:42:03,646 --> 00:42:04,522
I had a good chat with Ron
about it, too, and--
843
00:42:04,563 --> 00:42:08,192
Good, good, good.
844
00:42:08,234 --> 00:42:09,777
Yeah. I think the main thing
845
00:42:09,818 --> 00:42:12,988
is we're building something
for a new chapter.
846
00:42:13,030 --> 00:42:14,532
Right, right.
847
00:42:14,573 --> 00:42:16,200
And some of those old wounds
are gonna be there,
848
00:42:16,242 --> 00:42:17,660
but they need to be resolved,
849
00:42:17,701 --> 00:42:20,287
and I heard that
they're aware of that.
850
00:42:20,329 --> 00:42:22,706
Yeah, and I just want to know,
going forward,
851
00:42:22,748 --> 00:42:26,126
that we are all in agreement
about our purpose
852
00:42:26,168 --> 00:42:29,296
and our positions
in the organization, so...
853
00:42:29,338 --> 00:42:31,382
I think as long as we keep
pressing the case, it'll...
854
00:42:31,423 --> 00:42:32,675
Yeah, yep.
855
00:42:32,716 --> 00:42:34,552
Keep being the case,
as you said.
856
00:42:34,593 --> 00:42:36,720
- Mm-hmm. I'm in.
- Yeah?
857
00:42:36,762 --> 00:42:38,180
I'm in. I like it.
I like where we're headed.
858
00:42:38,222 --> 00:42:39,640
I'm glad.
859
00:42:39,682 --> 00:42:40,808
I really like
where we're headed.
860
00:42:40,849 --> 00:42:41,684
I really like the vision.
I think it's--
861
00:42:41,725 --> 00:42:42,893
It's exciting.
862
00:42:42,935 --> 00:42:44,562
It's exciting, and it's good.
863
00:42:48,941 --> 00:42:52,278
[Ryan] Rick, Steve,
Kate reminded me last night
864
00:42:52,319 --> 00:42:55,614
that she put together
those South Carolina videos
865
00:42:55,656 --> 00:42:57,741
for you guys,
and they haven't gone out.
866
00:42:57,783 --> 00:42:58,951
She just wanted
to remind you guys
867
00:42:58,993 --> 00:43:00,786
that they're still out there.
868
00:43:00,828 --> 00:43:02,788
- The other Lindsey videos?
- [Ryan] Yeah.
869
00:43:02,830 --> 00:43:04,915
They're the ones that you guys
asked her to cut this weekend.
870
00:43:04,957 --> 00:43:07,459
She showed 'em to you
on Sunday, at her house.
871
00:43:07,501 --> 00:43:10,379
Oh, yeah. I don't know
why those aren't out.
872
00:43:10,421 --> 00:43:12,339
[Schmidt] Are you telling me
that those videos
873
00:43:12,381 --> 00:43:14,091
are not digitally purchased?
874
00:43:16,260 --> 00:43:18,178
They weren't sent over.
875
00:43:18,220 --> 00:43:21,557
[Schmidt] I've literally asked
this question 11 fucking times
876
00:43:21,599 --> 00:43:24,184
about whether we made
the deadline or not,
877
00:43:24,226 --> 00:43:27,104
and until this moment,
I've been told repeatedly
878
00:43:27,146 --> 00:43:30,107
that all of those ads
are maxed out on digital.
879
00:43:30,149 --> 00:43:32,943
Like, why can't I get
an answer to that question?
880
00:43:32,985 --> 00:43:34,445
Are those ads online?
881
00:43:34,486 --> 00:43:36,447
Are they playing
digitally in South Carolina?
882
00:43:38,991 --> 00:43:40,451
The answer's yes or no.
883
00:43:40,492 --> 00:43:42,745
I haven't seen the ads.
884
00:43:42,786 --> 00:43:44,538
[Schmidt] Like, how the fuck
is that possible?
885
00:43:44,580 --> 00:43:45,956
- Okay, Ron--
- [Steve] Are those ads
886
00:43:45,998 --> 00:43:48,626
- up online?
- [Ron] I don't know what ads
887
00:43:48,667 --> 00:43:49,793
we're talking about.
I have not seen them.
888
00:43:49,835 --> 00:43:51,503
[Schmidt] Rick?
889
00:43:51,545 --> 00:43:54,298
Yeah. We can't put them up,
unless we see 'em, I--
890
00:43:54,340 --> 00:43:56,133
I haven't seen them.
891
00:43:56,175 --> 00:43:59,094
[Madrid] They were created
for the deadline.
892
00:43:59,136 --> 00:44:01,138
Part of that--the 1,500--
893
00:44:01,180 --> 00:44:02,681
[Ron] Wait, wait, wait.
Okay, so--
894
00:44:02,723 --> 00:44:03,849
[Schmidt] When I ask a
question
895
00:44:03,891 --> 00:44:05,225
about the fucking traffic,
896
00:44:05,267 --> 00:44:07,019
and I got ten people
bobble-heading
897
00:44:07,061 --> 00:44:09,146
back at me like it's done,
898
00:44:09,188 --> 00:44:11,523
I want precise
fucking information
899
00:44:11,565 --> 00:44:13,567
about what's up and where.
900
00:44:13,609 --> 00:44:15,653
We sent you a chart, at 4 p.m.,
901
00:44:15,694 --> 00:44:17,821
of everything that we had.
902
00:44:17,863 --> 00:44:19,948
- [Schmidt] Christ's sakes.
- I'm just giving--
903
00:44:19,990 --> 00:44:21,116
[Schmidt]
You were on all the calls.
904
00:44:21,158 --> 00:44:23,619
I said ten times on this
905
00:44:23,661 --> 00:44:26,497
that this is a game
of small numbers,
906
00:44:26,538 --> 00:44:28,957
and these ads need to be
on the air digitally,
907
00:44:28,999 --> 00:44:32,044
under a deadline
that we knew about on Sunday.
908
00:44:34,338 --> 00:44:37,383
Get this shit
squared away immediately.
909
00:44:40,886 --> 00:44:43,430
- [Sarah] Hey, Mike.
- [Madrid] Hey.
910
00:44:43,472 --> 00:44:44,932
[Sarah]
I need to understand
911
00:44:44,973 --> 00:44:48,018
what happened here, okay?
What happened?
912
00:44:48,060 --> 00:44:50,813
[Madrid] Okay.
Late Friday night, Steve said,
913
00:44:50,854 --> 00:44:54,358
"I want 15 Lindsey Graham ads.
914
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,026
I want 'em done tomorrow."
915
00:44:56,068 --> 00:44:59,488
Like 10-15 second things
that we can run on Facebook.
916
00:44:59,530 --> 00:45:03,033
I said, "My understanding is
this stuff has to be approved
917
00:45:03,075 --> 00:45:04,827
by Saturday, at midnight."
918
00:45:04,868 --> 00:45:07,287
And he said,
"Mike, I want it done."
919
00:45:07,329 --> 00:45:10,791
It didn't occur to anyone
to let me know?
920
00:45:10,833 --> 00:45:12,459
[Madrid]
It didn't occur to anyone.
921
00:45:12,501 --> 00:45:15,713
Now, that would be
Steve's fault and my fault,
922
00:45:15,754 --> 00:45:17,715
because I don't know
how ads gets done.
923
00:45:17,756 --> 00:45:19,967
I just assumed that Kate
cut these quick spots,
924
00:45:20,008 --> 00:45:22,177
and then they got
these things approved.
925
00:45:22,219 --> 00:45:25,347
- I had no idea.
- They got 'em approved by whom?
926
00:45:25,389 --> 00:45:26,682
[Madrid] By Facebook,
927
00:45:26,724 --> 00:45:28,225
but I don't know
how the process works--
928
00:45:28,267 --> 00:45:30,978
No. They did not get them
approved by Facebook.
929
00:45:31,019 --> 00:45:32,896
[Madrid] Okay. I didn't know.
I--
930
00:45:32,938 --> 00:45:34,982
Everything--the only people
that get things
931
00:45:35,023 --> 00:45:38,152
approved by Facebook
are Conor and Ron.
932
00:45:38,193 --> 00:45:40,654
[Madrid]
Conor's never seen them?
933
00:45:40,696 --> 00:45:43,907
No! We never saw them,
until this morning, Mike.
934
00:45:43,949 --> 00:45:45,743
[Madrid] I hear you.
935
00:45:45,784 --> 00:45:47,911
I'm just telling you this is
Steve's fault and my fault.
936
00:45:47,953 --> 00:45:49,037
Rick and Ryan know better.
937
00:45:49,079 --> 00:45:50,581
They should have
known immediately,
938
00:45:50,622 --> 00:45:53,041
and Kate knows that
everything runs through us.
939
00:45:53,083 --> 00:45:54,835
It has to be approved by legal,
940
00:45:54,877 --> 00:45:58,088
and they chose
to not loop us in, period.
941
00:45:58,130 --> 00:46:00,090
[Madrid] I don't know
that this is of value,
942
00:46:00,132 --> 00:46:02,384
to have the conversation
in front of everybody,
943
00:46:02,426 --> 00:46:04,052
on email.
944
00:46:04,094 --> 00:46:07,347
Yes it is, because they need
to be held accountable, Mike.
945
00:46:07,389 --> 00:46:10,350
They're not children.
They're not fucking children.
946
00:46:10,392 --> 00:46:13,061
I'm sorry. Grow up.
Not you. Them.
947
00:46:13,103 --> 00:46:14,897
[Madrid] No.
948
00:46:14,938 --> 00:46:15,898
I know what you're saying,
but is that the right way to--
949
00:46:15,939 --> 00:46:17,107
Yeah it is!
950
00:46:17,149 --> 00:46:18,484
[Madrid]
Make them accountable?
951
00:46:18,525 --> 00:46:19,985
You know what?
They don't listen to me.
952
00:46:20,027 --> 00:46:21,612
At all.
953
00:46:23,322 --> 00:46:26,742
If Rick and Ryan are gonna
fucking assign Kate stuff
954
00:46:26,784 --> 00:46:30,370
and not tell us,
I don't know what to do.
955
00:46:30,412 --> 00:46:32,080
[Reed]
Rick said he didn't even know.
956
00:46:32,122 --> 00:46:36,585
Rick admitted on the call
that he saw them on Sunday.
957
00:46:36,627 --> 00:46:38,003
[Reed] Okay. Like,
let's not get
958
00:46:38,045 --> 00:46:39,421
wrapped around
the axel on this.
959
00:46:39,463 --> 00:46:40,964
I am. I am.
960
00:46:41,006 --> 00:46:42,299
[Reed] Please don't.
Please don't.
961
00:46:42,341 --> 00:46:43,801
Why?
962
00:46:43,842 --> 00:46:44,927
[Reed] Because he wasn't
yelling at you.
963
00:46:44,968 --> 00:46:46,303
Okay.
964
00:46:46,345 --> 00:46:47,596
[Reed] I talked to Steve.
He wasn't--yeah.
965
00:46:47,638 --> 00:46:49,306
He wasn't mad at you.
He was mad
966
00:46:49,348 --> 00:46:51,308
that the things he'd
asked for hadn't gotten done.
967
00:46:51,350 --> 00:46:52,643
You know what, Reed?
Nobody else--
968
00:46:52,684 --> 00:46:53,811
[Reed] It's nothing.
969
00:46:53,852 --> 00:46:56,104
Okay great. Good for him.
970
00:46:56,146 --> 00:46:58,565
[Reed] Well he's not--I mean
what do you want me to do?
971
00:46:58,607 --> 00:47:00,442
There is a lack of leadership
on this campaign,
972
00:47:00,484 --> 00:47:02,402
and I've had it.
973
00:47:02,444 --> 00:47:03,654
[Reed] A lack of leadership?
974
00:47:03,695 --> 00:47:05,364
Yeah.
975
00:47:05,405 --> 00:47:07,241
[Reed] Well, what do you
want me to do? I mean--
976
00:47:07,282 --> 00:47:09,535
We just--we won't do anything.
It's fine.
977
00:47:09,576 --> 00:47:11,912
[Reed] Let me--no.
Sarah, don't do that.
978
00:47:11,954 --> 00:47:13,247
What? I'm not doing anything.
979
00:47:13,288 --> 00:47:14,456
[Reed] I'm asking--
980
00:47:14,498 --> 00:47:16,583
Here. I think when--
981
00:47:16,625 --> 00:47:18,001
[Reed] If I can do anything--
982
00:47:18,043 --> 00:47:19,169
I think you should just
ask them
983
00:47:19,211 --> 00:47:21,004
to please respond to the email.
984
00:47:21,046 --> 00:47:22,798
They need to be
held accountable.
985
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:24,174
- [Reed] Okay fine.
- That's it.
986
00:47:24,216 --> 00:47:25,467
[Reed] I will do that.
That is easy.
987
00:47:25,509 --> 00:47:26,677
- That's all.
- [Reed] I'm more than happy
988
00:47:26,718 --> 00:47:28,387
- to do that.
- Thank you.
989
00:47:34,852 --> 00:47:38,522
[crow cawing]
990
00:47:41,692 --> 00:47:46,613
I got a notification that
my kids' kindergarten class
991
00:47:46,655 --> 00:47:50,158
in Denver
had several cases of COVID
992
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:53,036
and needed to be quarantined
for 14 days.
993
00:47:53,078 --> 00:47:56,540
How are you? How's he doing?
Hey.
994
00:48:03,547 --> 00:48:05,424
And I'm like,
"Should I go home?"
995
00:48:05,465 --> 00:48:08,302
But if I go home,
I can't come back.
996
00:48:08,343 --> 00:48:12,014
Which I'm fine with, so I think
I'm gonna get a flight.
997
00:48:14,516 --> 00:48:16,059
I think that's
the responsible thing to do.
998
00:48:29,156 --> 00:48:31,575
I'm gonna cry. I am so mad.
999
00:48:33,452 --> 00:48:35,746
I just--like, I'm sick of it,
so I'm like, "It's time to go."
1000
00:48:35,787 --> 00:48:37,414
My kid might have COVID,
1001
00:48:37,456 --> 00:48:41,168
so I'm done. Fucking done.
1002
00:48:41,209 --> 00:48:44,755
- [interviewer] I'm sorry.
- It's fine.
1003
00:48:46,924 --> 00:48:49,676
No. I'm mad about a lot
of other things
1004
00:48:49,718 --> 00:48:52,930
that still continue to go on,
and I'm tired.
1005
00:48:54,765 --> 00:48:57,267
I'm gonna go home.
Just made that decision.
1006
00:49:03,315 --> 00:49:06,401
moody music
1007
00:49:32,302 --> 00:49:35,389
Here we are now, just hours
from election day 2020.
1008
00:49:35,430 --> 00:49:37,057
Donald Trump and Joe Biden
are tonight
1009
00:49:37,099 --> 00:49:38,934
surgically
trying to pick off the states
1010
00:49:38,976 --> 00:49:41,687
that could push them
over the line.
1011
00:49:41,728 --> 00:49:44,147
Vote for Trump,
like true Americans!
1012
00:49:44,189 --> 00:49:46,149
Like socialism? Move to Cuba.
1013
00:49:46,191 --> 00:49:48,902
[person] Well, this guy Trump
has destroyed everything.
1014
00:49:48,944 --> 00:49:51,905
He's a vile,
nasty human being.
1015
00:49:51,947 --> 00:49:53,323
[reporter] Officials
in a number of states
1016
00:49:53,365 --> 00:49:56,493
bracing for an avalanche
of mail-in ballots.
1017
00:49:56,535 --> 00:49:59,997
[Trump] This universal mail-in
is a very dangerous thing.
1018
00:50:00,038 --> 00:50:01,623
It's fraught with fraud
1019
00:50:01,665 --> 00:50:03,583
and every other thing
that can happen,
1020
00:50:03,625 --> 00:50:06,169
and I want to make sure
the election is not stalling.
1021
00:50:06,211 --> 00:50:07,629
[reporter]
It's going to be several days
1022
00:50:07,671 --> 00:50:09,131
before we get the result,
1023
00:50:09,172 --> 00:50:12,300
and that is going to lead
to fear of civil unrest.
1024
00:50:12,342 --> 00:50:16,179
We're done with the chaos,
the tweets,
1025
00:50:16,221 --> 00:50:18,473
the anger, the hate.
1026
00:50:18,515 --> 00:50:21,184
[voter] We are gonna fight
for our country.
1027
00:50:21,226 --> 00:50:22,436
We're tired of living
in the darkness,
1028
00:50:22,477 --> 00:50:24,146
and we're ready to move
into the light.
1029
00:50:24,187 --> 00:50:25,522
[reporter] Video of armed
security guards
1030
00:50:25,564 --> 00:50:27,190
outside of St. Pete
1031
00:50:27,232 --> 00:50:30,193
polling place spurred fears
of voter intimidation.
1032
00:50:30,235 --> 00:50:32,863
There's really no reason to
have guns at a polling place.
1033
00:50:32,904 --> 00:50:34,698
[reporter] A pro-Trump convoy
1034
00:50:34,740 --> 00:50:38,535
surrounded a Biden campaign
bus on a highway.
1035
00:50:38,577 --> 00:50:40,370
[reporter]
A Biden-Harris staffer's car
1036
00:50:40,412 --> 00:50:41,913
was hit during the incident.
1037
00:50:41,955 --> 00:50:44,207
Federal agents are
stepping in to investigate.
1038
00:50:44,249 --> 00:50:46,877
We want Trump
for four more years!
1039
00:50:46,918 --> 00:50:48,211
[person] Four more years!
1040
00:50:48,253 --> 00:50:51,256
We will turn this city red!
1041
00:50:51,298 --> 00:50:54,551
[all] Whoo!
1042
00:50:54,593 --> 00:50:57,054
[Trump] We have made America
strong again.
1043
00:50:57,095 --> 00:50:59,389
We have made
America proud again.
1044
00:50:59,431 --> 00:51:01,683
We have made America
safe again,
1045
00:51:01,725 --> 00:51:06,563
and we will make
America great again!
1046
00:51:06,605 --> 00:51:09,900
Thank you, Iowa.
Thank you, Wisconsin.
1047
00:51:09,941 --> 00:51:11,568
Tomorrow, we have
an opportunity
1048
00:51:11,610 --> 00:51:14,988
to put an end to a presidency
that's divided this nation.
1049
00:51:17,783 --> 00:51:21,953
Tomorrow, the power to change
the country is in your hands.
1050
00:51:41,848 --> 00:51:43,600
Thank you, sir.
1051
00:51:48,814 --> 00:51:50,357
Hi, gang.
1052
00:51:51,983 --> 00:51:55,779
It's election day.
It's a celebration of America.
1053
00:51:55,821 --> 00:51:59,825
Nobody's going into
a general election
1054
00:51:59,866 --> 00:52:02,244
better set up
in our lifetime than Biden.
1055
00:52:02,285 --> 00:52:06,414
Well, Reagan, but...
1056
00:52:06,456 --> 00:52:08,291
no Democrat has.
1057
00:52:09,709 --> 00:52:12,587
Yeah. It shouldn't be close.
1058
00:52:15,006 --> 00:52:17,968
I mean the ideal circumstance
would be, you know,
1059
00:52:18,009 --> 00:52:19,970
Trump gets blown out
by 13 points,
1060
00:52:20,011 --> 00:52:22,139
and you could say,
1061
00:52:22,180 --> 00:52:26,393
you know, you didn't need
a Lincoln Project.
1062
00:52:26,434 --> 00:52:28,145
But I think going out
and hitting Trump
1063
00:52:28,186 --> 00:52:30,480
was really important.
1064
00:52:30,522 --> 00:52:33,775
mellow music
1065
00:52:36,278 --> 00:52:38,321
Gonna be a good night, right?
1066
00:52:40,615 --> 00:52:43,493
It's gonna be what
it's gonna be now, right?
1067
00:52:43,535 --> 00:52:45,245
I think it's gonna be
a good night though.
1068
00:52:45,287 --> 00:52:46,746
[Stuart]
It's gonna be a good night.
1069
00:52:46,788 --> 00:52:49,332
I think that people
aren't gonna tolerate
1070
00:52:49,374 --> 00:52:52,335
any more of this.
1071
00:52:52,377 --> 00:52:54,337
It'll be a good night.
1072
00:53:03,597 --> 00:53:04,764
[interviewer]
How you feeling, guys?
1073
00:53:04,806 --> 00:53:06,850
[Kate] Feeling good.
1074
00:53:09,686 --> 00:53:13,940
Hey, guys. Running behind.
What else is new?
1075
00:53:13,982 --> 00:53:17,527
[Ron] Look at you. That is
a stylin' jacket, right?
1076
00:53:17,569 --> 00:53:20,989
- [Rick] I cleaned up.
- [Ron] Once a year.
1077
00:53:21,031 --> 00:53:22,199
[laughter]
1078
00:53:22,240 --> 00:53:23,867
[chatter]
1079
00:53:23,909 --> 00:53:25,827
[reporter] It's been
a very busy day here,
1080
00:53:25,869 --> 00:53:29,331
and this is a very very evenly
split state, as you know,
1081
00:53:29,372 --> 00:53:32,042
where we have about
the same rough amount
1082
00:53:32,083 --> 00:53:34,878
of Republicans and Democrats,
and some...
1083
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:37,172
[Trygve] Somebody's going to
win the election.
1084
00:53:37,214 --> 00:53:40,050
One side wins,
and the other side loses.
1085
00:53:40,091 --> 00:53:41,718
And we, as a nation,
1086
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:45,972
have always tried to build
a world around that.
1087
00:53:46,014 --> 00:53:48,141
We're gonna be
facing potentially
1088
00:53:48,183 --> 00:53:51,895
some really big questions
of who lives,
1089
00:53:51,937 --> 00:53:54,606
who dies, who has power,
who doesn't.
1090
00:53:54,648 --> 00:53:57,901
Those are hard questions.
Are they Shakespearean?
1091
00:53:57,943 --> 00:54:00,111
Probably. Are they biblical?
Probably, right?
1092
00:54:00,153 --> 00:54:01,738
We're talking about questions
1093
00:54:01,780 --> 00:54:03,365
that have been
foundational to us,
1094
00:54:03,406 --> 00:54:06,534
as people,
from the beginning of time.
1095
00:54:06,576 --> 00:54:09,079
- [person] Exciting.
- [Rick] Yeah. It's exciting.
1096
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:11,206
We're having a day, guys.
1097
00:54:11,248 --> 00:54:12,791
[Trygve] Two hundred
and fifty years ago,
1098
00:54:12,832 --> 00:54:15,835
a whole group of guys
got together, in Philadelphia,
1099
00:54:15,877 --> 00:54:17,295
and came up with
a pretty good solution
1100
00:54:17,337 --> 00:54:19,547
how to answer
some of those questions
1101
00:54:19,589 --> 00:54:21,383
that the world hadn't been
answering very well.
1102
00:54:24,010 --> 00:54:26,763
[photographer]
Right here, folks.
1103
00:54:26,805 --> 00:54:29,849
[Trygve] Maybe we've taken
that gift and decided
1104
00:54:29,891 --> 00:54:31,268
that we don't want
the responsibility
1105
00:54:31,309 --> 00:54:34,896
that comes with that.
I don't know.
1106
00:54:34,938 --> 00:54:37,524
[photographer]
Jubilation. Yay!
1107
00:54:37,565 --> 00:54:40,568
[Trygve]
Just wait till we win.
1108
00:54:40,610 --> 00:54:43,405
But we're gonna find out.
1109
00:54:43,446 --> 00:54:46,283
Not just on election day.
1110
00:54:46,324 --> 00:54:50,120
The next four years
are going to tell us
1111
00:54:50,161 --> 00:54:53,957
a lot about who we are,
1112
00:54:53,999 --> 00:54:56,001
about where we go.
1113
00:55:03,258 --> 00:55:06,052
[reporter] Okay. We're gonna
show a view of the crowd...
1114
00:55:06,094 --> 00:55:07,929
[Steve]
Still looking good?
1115
00:55:08,930 --> 00:55:10,140
Wisconsin.
1116
00:55:10,181 --> 00:55:12,350
[reporter]
At the White House--
1117
00:55:12,392 --> 00:55:15,270
[overlapping chatter]
1118
00:55:15,312 --> 00:55:16,855
[person]
Pennsylvania's not.
1119
00:55:16,896 --> 00:55:18,648
I know. They said
they can't do it then.
1120
00:55:18,690 --> 00:55:20,567
They said there's gonna be
another Wisconsin update
1121
00:55:20,608 --> 00:55:22,569
at 4 a.m., East Coast.
1122
00:55:22,610 --> 00:55:24,612
[Horn] 4 a.m. Oh.
1123
00:55:24,654 --> 00:55:25,905
[reporter] Right now, in
the great state of Georgia--
1124
00:55:25,947 --> 00:55:27,657
What about Georgia?
1125
00:55:27,699 --> 00:55:29,284
[reporter] and you see a
difference of 100--
1126
00:55:29,326 --> 00:55:31,202
[reporter] Oh, he is just not
out of the woods yet.
1127
00:55:31,244 --> 00:55:33,038
Not by a long shot.
1128
00:55:33,079 --> 00:55:35,415
Oh, he's got his whole scumbag
family with him. Terrific.
1129
00:55:35,457 --> 00:55:37,125
[presenter]
Of the United States,
1130
00:55:37,167 --> 00:55:39,669
Donald J. Trump!
1131
00:55:41,546 --> 00:55:43,131
[Trump] I want to thank
the American people
1132
00:55:43,173 --> 00:55:45,508
for their tremendous support.
1133
00:55:45,550 --> 00:55:48,011
Millions and millions of
people voted for us tonight.
1134
00:55:48,053 --> 00:55:51,848
Literally, we were just
all set to get outside
1135
00:55:51,890 --> 00:55:55,018
and just celebrate something
that was so beautiful.
1136
00:55:55,060 --> 00:55:58,188
So good. Such a vote.
Such a success.
1137
00:55:58,229 --> 00:56:00,190
[Horn]
What's he talking about?
1138
00:56:00,231 --> 00:56:01,941
[Trump] The citizens in this
country have come out...
1139
00:56:01,983 --> 00:56:04,194
- [Horn] He's such a freak.
- [Trump] This is a record.
1140
00:56:04,235 --> 00:56:06,112
There's never been
anything like it.
1141
00:56:06,154 --> 00:56:08,490
We won states that
we weren't expected to win.
1142
00:56:08,531 --> 00:56:12,869
Florida. We didn't win it.
We won it by a lot, and--
1143
00:56:12,911 --> 00:56:15,872
[all] Whoo!
1144
00:56:15,914 --> 00:56:18,792
[Trump]
The great state of Ohio.
1145
00:56:18,833 --> 00:56:22,962
We won Texas. We won Texas.
1146
00:56:23,004 --> 00:56:26,466
It's also clear
that we have won Georgia.
1147
00:56:26,508 --> 00:56:29,469
Is that true?
1148
00:56:29,511 --> 00:56:31,763
He's gonna lose Georgia.
1149
00:56:31,805 --> 00:56:33,348
[Trump]
The citizens of this country
1150
00:56:33,390 --> 00:56:35,433
have come out
in record numbers.
1151
00:56:35,475 --> 00:56:38,770
This is a record. There's
never been anything like it.
1152
00:56:38,812 --> 00:56:42,899
We're up 690,000 votes,
in Pennsylvania.
1153
00:56:42,941 --> 00:56:44,067
690,000.
1154
00:56:44,109 --> 00:56:46,736
[all] Whoo!
1155
00:56:46,778 --> 00:56:50,073
[Trump] We won states,
and all of a sudden, I said,
1156
00:56:50,115 --> 00:56:51,741
"What happened to the
election?
1157
00:56:51,783 --> 00:56:55,245
It's off," and we have
all these announcers saying,
1158
00:56:55,286 --> 00:56:58,373
"What happened?"
And then they said, "Oh."
1159
00:56:58,415 --> 00:57:00,583
- Is he riffing right now?
- [person] Yeah.
1160
00:57:00,625 --> 00:57:03,503
[Trump] Frankly, we did
win this election.
1161
00:57:03,545 --> 00:57:08,258
[all] Whoo!
1162
00:57:08,299 --> 00:57:11,052
[Trump] This is
a major fraud on our nation.
1163
00:57:11,094 --> 00:57:14,389
We want all voting to stop.
1164
00:57:14,431 --> 00:57:16,766
We don't want them
to find any ballots
1165
00:57:16,808 --> 00:57:18,977
at four o'clock in the morning
1166
00:57:19,018 --> 00:57:22,772
and add them to the list.
Okay?
1167
00:57:22,814 --> 00:57:27,152
It's a very sad moment.
It's a very sad moment.
1168
00:57:27,193 --> 00:57:28,653
To me, this is a very sad
moment.
1169
00:57:28,695 --> 00:57:31,906
dramatic music
