>>> WE HAVE >>> WE HAVE BEEN TALKING A LOT TODAY ABOUT THE SPLIT SCREEN WE ARE SEEING FROM THE TWO PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS, THE NORMAL RETAIL POLITICS FROM KAMALA HARRIS AND TIM WALZ AND THE WERE, ALIENATING COMBATIVE STYLE OF FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND JD VANCE. IT PUTS INTO STARK RELIEF WHAT IS ITS -- FOR THE COUNTRY AND ONE LED BY A CONVICTED FELON WHO IS OPENLY TALKING ABOUT BEING A DICTATOR. THERE'S ALSO A CULTURAL PHENOMENON. ONE SIDE OF THE AISLE IS PRESENTING AN EVER SHRIEKING PORTRAIT OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN AMERICAN, DESERVING OF EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW. THE OTHER SIDE IS EXPANDING, REACHING OUT ACROSS RACIAL, CULTURAL AND IDEOLOGICAL LINES. UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS MOVED AWAY FROM TRADITIONAL CONSERVATIVE VALUES, INCREASING INSTEAD XENOPHOBIC FRENCH THEORIES AND A WHITE NATIONALIST PATRIOTISM. SPIN THE FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP SPEECHES AND YOU WILL HEAR THE SAME MESSAGE OF WHAT A REAL AMERICAN PSYCHOTICALLY WHITE, CHRISTIAN AND STRAIGHT. >> WE DO NOT ANSWER TO THE BUREAUCRATS IN WASHINGTON, WE ANSWER TO GOD IN HEAVEN. WHO LIKES THE 10 COMMANDMENTS GOING UP IN THE SCHOOLS? WHO WOULD THINK THAT SOMEBODY WOULD WANT OPEN BORDERS WERE PEOPLE FLOOD AND BY THE MILLIONS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD FROM PRISONS AND MENTAL INSTITUTIONS AND A LOT OF TERRORISTS, TERRORISTS IN RECORD NUMBERS. WHO WOULD THINK THAT MEN PLAYING IN WOMEN'S SPORTS IS OKAY? WHO WOULD THINK THAT? WE STOOD UP TO THE COMMUNISTS, MARXISTS AND FASCISTS TO DEFEND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY LIKE NO OTHER PRESIDENT HAS EVER DONE. WE WILL PROTECT CHRISTIANS IN SCHOOLS, MILITARY, ELEMENT, WORKPLACES, HOSPITALS AND IN OUR PUBLIC SQUARE. >> IF YOU'RE KEEPING SCORE AT HIM, FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP SAYS HE IS FIGHTING AGAINST IMMIGRANTS, THE LGBTQ+ POPULATION, NON-CHRISTIANS AND REALLY ANYONE ELSE WHO BELIEVES IN THE SECULAR VALUES ON WHICH THIS COUNTRY WAS SUPPOSEDLY GATHERED. TRUMP SAYS HE'S GETTING FOR CHRISTIANS, THAT IS NOT BAD BUT IT LOOKS LIKE A SMALL TENT TO ME. THE DEMOCRATS ON THE OTHER HAND ARE DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT. KAMALA HARRIS'S MOVED TO THE TOP OF THE TICKET INSTANTLY REINVIGORATED THE DEMOCRATIC BASE AND THEN RUNNING WITH TIM WALZ, A LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL COACH HE TAUGHT HIS DAUGHTER HOW TO DRIVE, A MILITARY VET WHO PUT HIMSELF THROUGH COLLEGE, THE TICKET HAS BROUGHT IN MORE SUPPORTERS INCLUDING FROM ACROSS THE AISLE. IT IS EASY FOR THE FAR RIGHT TO TERRAN WOMEN AND PEOPLE OF COLOR WHO COMPETE AGAINST WHITE MEN FOR POLITICAL OFFICE BUT NOT SO EASY WITH TIM WALZ. TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN WITH AN EVER SHRINKING DEFINITION OF WHO COUNTS AS A TYPICAL AMERICAN HAS A DECIDED TO ATTACK TIM WALZ'S CAREER. >> THEY HAVE NEVER HELD A PRIVATE SECTOR JOB IN THEIR ENTIRE PROFESSIONAL CAREER. IT IS NO WONDER THEY ARE BOTH SOCIALIST. I THINK THEY ARE BEYOND SOCIALIST, I THINK THEY SKIPPED OVER IT. >> BEYOND SOCIALIST, THAT IS PROBABLY NEWS TO MILLIONS OF AMERICAN WORKERS IN THE MILITARY WHO WORK IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS, WHO WORK IN GOVERNMENT WHO WORK IN LAW ENFORCEMENT. PUBLIC SERVICE WORKERS WHO MAKE UP THE BACKBONE OF COMMUNITIES ACROSS AMERICA, SOCIALIST. IN TRUMP'S WORLDVIEW THESE WORKERS HOLD JOBS UNWORTHY OF REAL AMERICANS. MIND YOU TIM WALZ IS A FORMER GEOGRAPHY TEACHER, HE'S A FOOTBALL COACH, HE SERVED 24 YEARS IN THE NATIONAL GUARD BUT APPARENTLY THEY DO NOT COUNT AS REAL JOBS. ON THAT SAME DAY LAST MONTH, TRUMP'S SPOKESPERSON, CAROLINE SUNSHINE REPEATED THE LATEST TALKING POINT ON A FAR RIGHT MEDIA NETWORK. >> HE IS NEVER HELD A REAL JOB IN HIS LIFE, HE SPENT ALL OF HIS LIFE RUNNING FOR CONGRESS. >> NEVER HAD A REAL JOB, A PRIVATE SECTOR JOB IN TRUMP'S EXACT WORDS UNLIKE THE REAL ESTATE TYCOON WHOSE BUSINESSES HAVE TO SEE AT LEAST SIX TIMES. NEVER HAD A REAL JOB UNLIKE THE EAST COAST BILLIONAIRE WHO INHERITED A SIGNIFICANT CHUNK OF HIS WEALTH FROM HIS FATHER. NEVER HAD A REAL JOB UNLIKE THE TWICE CONVICTED:NOTORIOUS LOAN -- EVEN HIS OWN LAWYERS WHO ALL SAY HE DOES NOT PAY HIS WORKERS. TIM WALZ MAYBE A NEW TARGET BUT THE GOP STRATEGY MEANS THE SAME, EXPANDING THEIR EVER- GROWING NEST OF AMERICANS WHO DO NOT QUALIFY. ACCORDING TO -- QUOTE THESE ATTACKS TO MORE THAN INSULT A GROWING LIST OF VOTING GROUPS, THEY OFFER A WINDOW INTO THE GOP'S PREFERRED FANTASY, NAMELY THAT IF PEOPLE WOULD JUST STAY IN THEIR PLACE, REFUGEES AND IMMIGRANTS IN THEIR HOME COUNTRY, WOMEN IN THEIR HOMES PEOPLE OF COLOR IN MENIAL JOBS WHILE WHICH WHITEMAN HOLD POWERFUL POLITICAL POSITIONS AND SET THE RULES FOR EVERYONE, REAL AMERICANS WOULD FEEL THAT THE COUNTRY WAS GREAT CAN. THIS IS NOT A VISION THAT HAS WIDESPREAD APPEAL OUTSIDE MAGA. THE HARRIS, WALZ CAMPAIGN SEEMS TO -- SCOOP UP ALL OF THE AMERICANS WHO DO NOT BELONG IN TRUMP'S AMERICA, RECLAIMING PATRIOTISM, REIMAGINING THE AMERICAN FLAG THAT WELCOMES AND UPLIFTS ALL AMERICANS. WHAT IS AT STAKE IN NOVEMBER IS
