Vice President Kamala Harris and numerous pro-democracy political groups are out with
some of the most impactful ads of the political season in perfect timing as we reach the home
stretch towards election day. For example, the Lincoln Project put out this ad. It's called
It's All True. Here, watch this clip. Have you heard the latest about North Carolina Republican
candidate for governor Mark Robinson? It's all true. He's been seen in public with a convicted felon. Not just any felon,
but a felon who's found liable for sexual assault by his hometown jury. He even praises the felon.
On this stage today, I'm endorsing Donald J. Trump as the president of the United States of America.
But a weirdo. He loves the felon.
And the felon loves the weirdo.
This is Martin Luther King on steroids.
Everything you've heard about Mark Robinson and Donald Trump is true.
They deserve each other.
But North.
Next, the Lincoln Project made this ad.
They've been going ad after ad.
This one's called He Hates You.
Play the clip.
Trump has never had an issue telling you who he hates.
I hate Taylor Swift, the former president posted in all caps.
But he hates more than just celebrities and politicians.
He also hates Muslims.
Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown
of Muslims entering the United States.
And Jewish people.
If you're Jewish, if you vote for a Democrat, you're a fool.
And minorities of all types.
I didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black.
Is she Indian or is she black?
Look at my African-American over here.
Look at him.
He hates union workers and government employees.
He hates his own former staff.
Here's another one from the Lincoln Project.
It's called Odd Couple, showing how Bernie Sanders and Dick Cheney may disagree on everything, but
they recognize what a threat Donald Trump is. Play this clip. Trump has never had an issue
telling you who he hates. I hate Taylor Swift, the former president posted in all caps. But he
hates more than just celebrities and politicians.
He also hates Muslims.
Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.
And Jewish people.
If you're Jewish, if you vote for a Democrat, you're a fool.
And minorities of all types.
I didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black.
Is she Indian or is she black?
Look at my African-American over here.
Look at him.
He hates union workers and government employees.
He hates his own former staff. Next ad I want to show you is from Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign.
It's featuring Hadley Duvall.
What a tragic story, but how courageous is she?
Watch this ad. I think perhaps the most powerful ad thus far of the political season. Play this clip. I've never slept a full night
my entire life. I was five years old when my stepfather abused me for the first time.
I just felt like I was alone on a planet with a monster. I was 12 when he impregnated
me. I just remember thinking I have to get out of my skin. I can't be me right now. Like this can't
be it. I didn't know what to do. I was a child. I didn't know what it meant to be pregnant at all. But
I had options. Because Donald Trump overturned Roe v. Wade, girls and women
all over the country have lost the right to choose, even for rape or incest.
Donald Trump did this. He took away our freedom. I'm Kamala Harris and I approve this message. video we were told it was too extreme and not to release it where we said what was going to happen
with donald trump's abortion bans and roe v wade being overturned we made this remember over four
years ago play this clip listen everything's gonna be okay right just let me do the talking okay just Evening, ladies. License, please.
Where are you headed?
Oh, we're just out for a drive.
Headed to the border?
Oh, no, no. We were just going up to the... Hey there.
What's your name?
Grace.
Are you pregnant, Grace?
Step out of the vehicle.
She does not have to be pregnant.
No, no, no.
Show me your hands on the wheels, Grace.
Step out of the vehicle.
On the wheel.
Grace, Grace, it's okay.
Oh! Next up from the Lincoln Project, this one's called Village Idiot. Let's play it.
There's an old saying, it takes a village. Every great step this nation took in its history,
from civil rights to women's rights,
they required community, partnership, the village.
But in every village, there's the same risk.
The village idiot.
And the one thing you never do is let the village idiot.
I want to show you this next video right here. This one's from Republican Veterans Against Trump.
Let's play it.
Sam Van Kopp with Republican Veterans Against Trump.
My platoon lost two good men in eastern Afghanistan.
They were not losers or suckers like Trump says.
They were fallen heroes like the army calls them.
And I owe them my life.
I will not vote for Trump.
And if you feel the same way, I hope you make a video and pass it
on. Sometimes I love ads that are just like testimonials from people. I think those hit the
best sometimes. Right here is one from the Lincoln Project called Bad Blood. Let's play it.
Taylor Swift isn't the first successful woman Donald Trump has attacked. She's just the most
recent. I'd look her right in that fat, ugly face of hers.
I'd say, Rosie, you're fired.
Trump has a problem with women.
Disrespectful.
Must be a pretty picture you dropped.
Insulting.
Ivana does exactly as I tell her to do.
Even violence.
Ivana Trump once used the term rape
to describe a sexual encounter with Trump.
It's ugly.
I'm not thinking, Mr. President.
That's okay, I know you're not thinking.
You never do.
I'm sorry?
It's cruel. Do you believe in punishment for abortion? Yes or no? As a principle.
There has to be some form of punishment. For the woman? Yeah. And one thing he's proven
is that he'll never change. I could do this all day. So when I'm not covering politics here on
the Midas Touch Network, where do I get my news on issues involving business, climate, entertainment, culture, music.
I go to the Washington Post, and one of my favorite things about the Washington Post is
I've signed up for their For You newsletter, which sends me my very own personalized roundup of stories every evening
based on my interest and reading history.
And their Washington Post app makes it easy for me to stay up on the latest news,
save and share stories, and follow my favorite authors on all of the topics that I want to have curated for me.
That's why I really love the Washington Post.

Laura Loomer is someone who Donald Trump loves much more now than Marjorie Taylor Greene.
And Loomer is now in the inner circle.
She's even more extreme than Marjorie Taylor Greene.
And Marjorie Taylor Greene's old news.
Here, play this clip.
Loyalty matters, Donald. And no one is more loyal than Laura Loomer.
You won the debate that Laura Loomer prepped you for.
They're eating the dogs, the people that came in. They're eating the cats.
She made you proud at the 9-11 memorial. She was your good luck charm. She raced to your
side when you were in danger. Smarter than Chris and Susie and even Corey.
You know, just as I think about that, you know, here's Laura Loomer. Here, play this clip.
And called me crazy, but what are they doing? I want to know what people are actually going to do.
My life is ruined. Does anybody understand how ruined my life is? I'm sick of it. I don't want
to listen to people tell me that I'm a conspiracy theorist.
They don't know what it's like to be me. My life is ruined, Alex.
And here's Marjorie Taylor Greene play this clip.
Joe Biden, you're not a president. You're a piece of shit. You know, when I started getting involved in politics, if you even want to call it that,
I didn't believe what I was doing was actually that political. I'm just like, what the hell?
I'm like, what the heck is that? What in the world is going on there? And I'm thinking to myself,
I can't be supportive of that. It's not even a political thing. That's just some wacky stuff
right there. Anyway, here's another one from the Lincoln Project. This one's called
Mark Robinson. Play this clip. And he's become a friend of mine, Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson.
Martin Luther King on steroids. You are Dr. Martin Luther King on steroids. That's how good you are.
Martin Luther King times two. That you would portray a
black man just because he's in the GOP as a clan. And Ben as Jethro Miller in the black community
as a stick of dynamite. Chuck from the Ku Klux Klan. We have to cherish. We have to cherish
Rocky to start. You have to cherish him. Called to be led by men. not DeVita, David.
I absolutely want to go back to the America where women couldn't vote.
You're a very popular guy, Mark.
There's no reason anybody anywhere in America should be telling any child about transgenderism, homosexuality, any of that filth. If there's a movement in this country that is demonic
and that is full of the spirit of Antichrist, it is the transgender movement.
The next governor of North Carolina, Mark.
By the way, some news on Mark Robinson.
His entire campaign staff has now left him.
I mean, think about that.
Trump can't win without North Carolina, really.
And now the top of the ticket, other than Trump and North Carolina, is MAGA Republican Mark Robinson, who said some of the most horrific things. I can't believe I even did. Remember when I tried to do that video last week where I tried to read the actual things that Robinson said rather rather than just like give them labels. I couldn't get through like
three of them. They were the most like disgusting things I've ever read in my life. Anyway,
contrast that to this Lincoln Project video. It's called A Girl. This is really powerful stuff here.
Play it. Somewhere there's a girl. She could be six. She could be 13. She could be 18 and ready to venture into the world.
Somewhere there's a girl who keeps hearing that her rights aren't important, that her future is in the kitchen,
who's told she's not good enough, strong enough, brave enough, smart enough, tough enough.
Somewhere there's a girl who sees this woman ready to be
America's first female president, who sees her standing up to hate, to bullies,
Kamala, you don't have to say it, Kamala.
and a people who would set every American woman back decades.
Ours is a fight for freedom. The freedom of a woman to make decisions about her own body
and not have her government telling her what to do.
Why does Kamala do it?
Because somewhere there's a girl.
You know, as I watch that,
I think about what Donald Trump was posting about this weekend
where he was like, women need me to protect them, he said. As I watch that, I think about what Donald Trump was posting about this weekend,
where he was like, women need me to protect them, he said.
He goes, they need my protection.
You need me.
And if you get me, you won't think about abortions again.
That's what this madman was saying.
And then he gave a speech about it.
He talked about it in one of his speeches from this weekend.
Here, play this clip. And at long last, this national nightmare
that we're going through will be over.
Women will be happy, healthy, confident, and free.
You will no longer be thinking about abortion
because it is now where it always had to be,
with the states and with the...
What the heck is he...
What in the world is that?
I'll leave you with this one.
This was one of our first videos that we made
at the Midas Touch, when we created Midas Touch.
And again, I always love to show it
because it shows you our kind of origin story.
And this one's called The Snake.
Tell me what you think about it.
Play this clip.
Who has heard the's called The Snake. Tell me what you think about it. Play this clip. Who has heard the poem called The Snake? My father gave me a small loan of a million dollars.
Well-documented and severe financial downturn in the past year. You know about sexual predators
and things like that. I mean, you are one. All right. It's more than anger. It's hatred.
They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime, they're rapists.
Down the path, along the lake, a tender-hearted woman saw a poor half-frozen steak.
You'll absolutely love Trump Steaks.
More than 150 former students allege Trump University was a fraud.
Persistently illegal conduct at the president's charity.
Take me in, oh tender woman.
Take me in for heaven's sake.
Take me in, oh tender woman.
Sigh the vicious.
Would you denounce what happened in 2016?
President Putin was extremely strong and powerful
in his denial today.
He withheld the money.
He withheld the meeting.
He used it to coerce Ukraine
to do these political investigations.
The American embassy in Baghdad under siege.
He stroked his pretty skin again and held him tight.
The Chinese government awarded Ivanka Trump's brand seven new trademarks.
They're pack of griftes.
His campaign manager's got two condos, a Ferrari, a yacht, and they're all just fleecing the
campaign.
That snake gave her a vicious bite.
The coronavirus.
This is their new hoax.
The U.S. now leading the world in death.
No, I don't take responsibility at all.
