As we get closer to the election, Vice President Kamala Harris and certain outside groups like the Lincoln Project are putting out some of their best ads yet, going after Donald Trump and also appealing to all types of voters across the United States of America to vote for democracy.
Starting point is 00:02:10 Here's the latest from Vice President Kamala Harris. She's running this in Arizona. It uses the words of the Republican mayor, John Giles, a Republican mayor of Mesa, Arizona. Here, watch this. In cities like mine, folks look out for each other. They put their community first. I'm a lifelong Republican, but I've always put country over party. And I know Donald Trump's second term would be all about himself. That's why, like so many other Republicans, I cannot support Donald Trump. Kamala Harris and I may not agree on everything, but I do know that she will always put country first. If we're going to make progress as a country, we have to have an adult in the White House. That's why I'm supporting Kamala Harris. I'm Kamala Harris, and I approve this message.
Starting point is 00:02:51 This next ad comes from the Lincoln Project. They call it Access of Influence. Let's play it. They came to America not to be American, but to change what America meant. They carry with them agendas that undermine our way of life and our culture. They take American jobs and take over American companies, broadcast propaganda and endanger our sovereignty, poisoning democracy. Who are they? Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Rupert Murdoch.
Starting point is 00:03:19 They are the new axis of evil, and they are here to help anyone but themselves. His running mate? Their guy. I believe that we actually do have a threat to democracy in this country, but it is the threat of censorship. His agenda? Their agenda. The United States will be the crypto capital of the planet and the world.
Starting point is 00:03:38 His mouth? Their words. He says, you're not going to be a dictator, are you? I said, no, no, no, other than day one. They're even using Trump to scare Americans into claiming immigrants are dangerous. In their case, they're right. Here's another one from Vice President Kamala Harris's team. Here she uses Trump's own staffer's words against them.
Starting point is 00:04:00 Let's play it. I worked in the Trump administration. Never in a million years did I ever think that I'd be working in the White House with a president that didn't care about the American people. He would suggest not giving disaster relief to states that hadn't voted for him. I remember one time after a wildfire in California, he wouldn't send relief because it was a democratic state. So we went as far as looking up how many votes he got in those impacted areas to show him, these are people who voted for you.
Starting point is 00:04:30 This isn't normal. The job of the president is to protect Americans, regardless of politics. If Trump's elected again, there'll be no one to stop his worst instincts. You'll have yes men help him implement Project 2025's agenda unchecked power no guardrails they will be serving one man i am voting for kamala harris
Starting point is 00:04:51 because she will put the safety and security of every american first whether they voted for her or not here's the next ad this one's from the lincoln project it's called attention let's play it attention are you a republican member of Congress? Have you suffered exhaustion or exasperation from defending Trump's indefensible comments and behavior? Have you found yourself wondering if cat cooking or weather controlling lasers are out to get you? Then this message is for you. If you or a loved one are experiencing craziness fatigue, dropping polls, dry mouth, principles amnesia, lowered truth tolerance, diarrhea, rambling, unexplained hate gain, or an all-consuming guilt when making eye contact,

They've been cooking like an ad machine lately. This one is called Fair. Let's play it. You work your ass off the backbone of America. And it's true. A lot of people treat you like shit. Wall Street gets bailed out. Instead, loans to banks some $7.7 trillion. And you pay for their mistakes. When I'm not able to pay for my mortgage, who's going to bail me out?
Starting point is 00:08:26 Big business offshores your jobs. Harvard Business School alumni predict falling pay and expect to outsource work rather than do more hiring. And then they pay CEOs hundreds of millions. The average CEO is making 235 times the median worker. Insurance companies make it so expensive you can barely afford to die. Silicon Valley poisons your kids. Parents worry that their kids are addicted to mobile devices. It seems like nobody is on your side.
Starting point is 00:08:55 There's one fighter who has your back. Someone who gives a damn about your life and fights to make it better. We believe in a future where every person has the opportunity not just to get by, but to get ahead. Now let's go back to one from Vice President Kamala Harris, pointing out that Donald Trump gave our COVID test and the height of the pandemic to Vladimir Putin instead of giving him to the American people. Play the clip. Trump will always choose Putin over the American people.
Starting point is 00:09:31 And now we have evidence, a new report that he secretly sent Putin COVID tests while withholding them from sick and dying Americans. So I said to my people, slow the testing down, please. Who will Trump look out for in his second term? I think I could have a very good relationship with President Putin. I'm not disavowing that he called me a genius. It's not you. Show you another one right here from the Lincoln Project. This is called A Place Like Springfield. Let's play it. There's something about small towns that bring out the best in a man. Maybe it's the warmth and kindness emanating from Main Street and neighborhood schools. Multiple generations of families working hard to make ends meet.
Starting point is 00:10:17 It's churches opening the doors to all who come seeking grace and shelter from the storm. A place like Springfield, Ohio. Springfield was badly in need of workers to fill the jobs its townspeople couldn't or wouldn't take. So these Haitian immigrants found their way across the world, hoping they too would have a chance at the same dream our forefathers had when they came to America. And then a vicious, xenophobic lie turned Springfield upside down. In Springfield, they're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats. Who the hell are these people? Well, if this election isn't just about Springfield, this is about your town, your community, and
Starting point is 00:10:58 your values. There's only one person out there who stands for decency, for opportunity, who shares our values. It's time to let her lead. It's time to stand for the principles and freedoms that built this country. Because I don't know what the hell he's talking about. I still think this country is great. It's time to be a man. Vote for a woman. Another one here from the Lincoln Project. This one is called Seeds. Let's play it. They want you to forget about January 6th. They want you to forget that Donald Trump lost the election and knew it on election night. This is a fraud on the American public. This is an embarrassment to our country. Frankly, we did win.
Starting point is 00:11:42 He beat us by a whisker. They want you to forget any illegal conspiracy against the United States of America and every American voter. They want you to forget when they lost in court, that they used violence at the Capitol. But we haven't forgotten, and we won't. Trump and his associates are amping it up again, planting the seeds that will lead
Starting point is 00:12:04 to the same violence and chaos. It's hard to say what you're going to do and what you're not. It's not over on election day. It's over on inauguration day. My answer is always conditional. The only way they're going to win, in my opinion, is if they cheat. Prosecute people that cheat. If they cheat, do you understand that, you crooked people?
Starting point is 00:12:20 Senator, will you accept the election results? Hillary Clinton said. We will use constitutional processes to challenge issues. Assaults on police officers. Threats to poll workers. 200,000 volunteers to be poll watchers. Attacks on our institutions. In 2021, they failed to overturn the election.
Starting point is 00:12:39 January 6th was a trial run. They've learned lessons. Put new allies in vital positions. It's going to take a civil war to save the country. If Kamala wins, Trump will make sure it's painful for America, but not nearly as painful if he won. There's a fight ahead either way, and the first and most important one will be at the ballot box.
Starting point is 00:13:02 Don't get comfortable. Don't take down your guard, because now, more than ever it's america or trump this one from the lincoln project is called clean house let's play my fellow americans it's time to clean house clean out the privileges and perks clean out the arrogance and big egos. Clean out the scandals. Trump found guilty on all 34 criminal charges against him. Beware the temptation of pride. I am the chosen one.
Starting point is 00:13:32 Don't let anyone tell you that America's best days are behind her. The American dream is dead. There are people who try to will freedom away. They try to legislate it away. I got rid of Roe v. Wade. That's what tyranny is. He says, you're not going to be a dictator, are you? I said, no, no, no, other than day one.
Starting point is 00:13:53 Regimes planted by bayonets do not take root. USA! USA! Armed aggression must not succeed. If I don't get elected, it it's gonna be a bloodbath and this one from the lincoln project is called cognitive test let's play it okay donald you've mentioned cognitive tests enough we're convinced now that you're the old man in the race we want to make you an offer the majority of voters believe cognitive tests should be required for president. So take a real cognitive test at a nationally renowned medical center. All you have to do is sit down and be that smart guy you're so sure you are.
Starting point is 00:14:37 You'll pass, right? Person, woman, man, camera, TV. And hey, we know money is tight for you right now, so we'll pay for it. Every penny. Unless you're scared. After all, Kamala Harris did make you look awfully bad in that debate. Almost as if you aren't a stable genius.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Take the test, Donald. Prove to America that you're sane, smart, all there. Majority of Americans will back you on this. You'll come out looking better than ever, won't you? Trust me, I'm like a smart person. Tell me what you think about those various ads from Vice President Kamala Harris's team and the Lincoln Project. Do you have a favorite? Let me know. Make sure you're registered to vote. Make sure friends, family member, coworkers are registered to vote. You could be the difference in this election. So please, please, please check your registration status, register others.
