• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Gavin Nouscomb didn't show up. He didn't show up. He
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: should be here, but I heard that he recently said
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: that we will lose our country if we don't fight
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: fire with fire. And to be fair, there's only one
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: thing we know about Gavin that that' said. He definitely
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: does didn't want to fight fire with water. He's got
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: a lot of water. Never uses what I desire, so
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: that shit has never happened.
• 0:36

• 1:07
  Speaker 3: I'll explain it. It's a forty seven morning update and
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: it starts right now.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Story number one.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Berlin had a pride parade and Islamic terrasts well. He
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: was shot and killed by police after attacking countless people
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: on the ground. The suspected Islamic terrorists who drove a
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: van into a crowd of people at the Berlin Pride
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: parade on Saturday, he was shot and killed. According to
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: the German Daily Bill, the twenty one year old alleged
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: iss inspired terrists Yes Ice is inspired you heard that right,
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: was shot and killed during a swat team operation in
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: the Sandhu district of Berlin on Sunday. This came after
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: a manhunt was launched after a van was driven into
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: the parade at Christophers Street's Day Pride, killing one and
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: leaving twenty nine others injured. Now the paper reported that
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: the Special Task Force owned as the se K police
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: officers had come under attack from the suspect with a
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: blade after he was discovered hiding in a garden shed.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: The officers returned fire and the suspect died at six
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: thirty four pm local time. Despite immediate resuscitation measures initiated
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: by the Berlin Fire Department. He died at the scene,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: the police spokesman said Berlin's interior center Iris Spranger, of
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: these social democrats, thanked the police and said, I am
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: grateful for the security authorities for finding the attacker so quickly.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: That is a great achievement. Here is how the local
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: news had the story when this all happened. In the
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: initial attack.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: A colorful celebration that became a dark day for Berlin,
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: a van used to ram into crowds at the city's
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: biggest pride event before crashing into a tree. People were
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: then stabbed near the Brandenburg Gate with a blade now
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: thought to be a machete. One woman has died, twenty
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: nine others are injured, some critically remain come in. Those
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: remaining were told to evacuate. People started screw and.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: We are like very like stressed out because we don't
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: know what's happening.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: This is the man police have been hunting. Twenty one
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: year old Berlin Bourne abdoor Ballute was known to the police.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: In the last hour, it's been confirmed he has been
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: shot and killed. Investigators are treating the incident as an
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: Islamist terrorist attack.
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: The Antium, and we're dealing here with a suspected perpetrator
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: who has previously attracted attention due to a high number
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: of criminal offenses, radicalization and belonging to the Islamist scene.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: Authorities in Germany say they aren't ruling out copycat crime
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: tis The German Chancellor today visited the scene of what
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: has been described as a horrific attack.
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: See do not let yourselves, let us not let ourselves
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: be intimidated. These acts have only one purpose. They seek
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: to divide our society. And we will not allow this
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: poison of terrorism and this poison against our freedom to
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: continue to spread throughout our society.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: Community left reeling have rallied together at a vigil, a
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: demonstration of unity today against extremism.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Well, what's interesting about that report is a couple of things. One,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: he was known to police. Two they knew he had
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: a radical pass. Three they knew he had ties to
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: radical Islam. You have a twenty one year old that
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: attempted to join isis after driving a vehicle into a
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: crowd at this Pride event. Then he use that mischadious
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: stab victim. And then you have a country that has
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: had yet again open borders. You have an individual that
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: showed multiple signs that he was a threat to society,
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: but because of political correctness, they didn't put him in jail. Now,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: this is, by the way, who the Democrats want in
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: our country with their open border policies. This is exactly
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: what so many had warned would happen in this country.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: And we had a radical Muslim knife attack last week
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: in New York. When you allow for this type of
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: immigration from countries who preach hate against women, hate against gays,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: hate against anyone that does not believe in what they
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: believe in, you get these types of Islamic terrorist attacks.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Make no mistake, this radical Islamic terror attack is not
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: going to be the last one. And yet again we
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: see that there was an individual that gave us every
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: warning sign that this is who he was, this is
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: what he was going to do, and that he was
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: not going to back down from his radical beliefs. That
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: is the part about this that is so incredibly frustrating,
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: because time and time again they show themselves for who
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: they actually are. They tell you what they believe in,
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: and Germany says, we're not going to allow this person
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: to as he described it, divide us right. We're not
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: going to allow this person to device say whatever you
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: want to say. You allow these radicals into your country.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: They tell you they hate you, they tell you they
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: want to kill you, They tell you they want to
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: slaughter you. They tell you they want to take a
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: machete to you until you die. You really should believe them.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: You should believe them every single time they tell you.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: I wish I could say that this is a warning
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: that will hopefully quote wake people up. Unfortunately, in the
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: radical Democratic Party, no one has woken up every single
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: time this happens.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Next story number two.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: So you know that the Democratic Party is filled with communist,
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: socialists and Marxists. The question now is is it actually
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: hurting the Democratic Party. I'm going to answer that question
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: for you by not me saying yes, but by telling
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: you exactly what has now been said about the chaos
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: and the Democratic National Committee. This is coming from the
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: New York Times, their headline inside the phone throwing drama
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: at the troubled, broke Democratic Party. The Democrat should be
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: well positioned to make gains in this year's midterms, but
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: inside party headquarters every week brings paranoia, worries about money,
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: and on occasion emotional eruptions. That's how The New York
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Times is describing the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party is
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: so short on cash that leaders at its headquarters have
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: undertaken a new gambit to mass the severity of the problem,
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: asking vendors not to send bills until after the midterm elections.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: So they're saying, hey, you guys can work for us,
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: we just can't pay you until after the election's over.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: And I guess hopefully we will win and then money
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: will come in and it'll be fine. The bookkeeping maneuver,
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: which was described by three people briefed on it, is
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: the latest sign of financial duress for the Democratic National Committee,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: and it's in battle leaders as money troubles threatened undercut
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Democratic momentum. With just one hundred days left until the midterms,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: so much is going politically right for Democrats these days.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: President Terrump's approval is down. This again, I'm quoting for
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: The New York Times. Gas prices are up, and an
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: unpopular war with the Ran drags on, but dysfunction and
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: debt inside one of the party's key institutions, which is
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: getting crushed and fundraising by its Republican counterpart creating rising
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: anxiety for top Democrats at the center is Ken Martin.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: He's a fifty three year old party chairman who has
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: found himself increasingly isolated, gripped by the fear that he
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: will lose his job, and relying on a well vanishing
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: small circle of people he trusts. According to interviews with
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: more than two dozen Democrats, including current and former DNC
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: officials and members, now, most of them spoke on the
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: condition of aminity to discuss the party's major trouble right
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: with their affairs. The article says, quote, mister Martin's fraying
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: nerves are showing. In a moment of frustration. In early July,
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: The New York Times reports he threw his phone at
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: the desk of a junior aide while un upbraiding the person.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: The phone tossing incident results in a formal complaint to
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: the DNC's human resources department. Now, the fallout from the
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: phone throwing episod so it was described by half a
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: dozen people familiar with the incident. They say they were
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: not authorized to discuss internal party matters. None of them
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: witnessed the encounter, and there was some dispute over how aggressively.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: The phone was tossed. You can't make this up. By
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: the way, mister Martin was said to have thrown the
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: phone at the desk rather than at the aid. Well,
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: isn't that nice? Like the guy in charge of the
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: DNC's mad at you. He doesn't throw the phone at you,
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: just throws at your desk instead of at you. Totally
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: fine the workplace, right. Mister Martin later met with DNC
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: human resources officials about his behavior, accorded to three of
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: the people, the Democrat National Committee declined to comment on
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: the incident. Mister Martin declined an interview request. Roger law,
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: the executive director of the DNC, said in a statement
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: that the bill deferral discussions were nothing more than standard
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: negotiations with vendors over contracts and payment processes. So again,
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: nothing to see here around the office and beyond, they
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: say the chairman of the DNC, mister Martin, has taken
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: to making joe to colleagues about how long you will
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: remain in his post, even though his term does not
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: end until twenty twenty nine. He is frustrated with the
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: tarnished public image of a party that he plainly loves
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: and has to vote his life to and that remains
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: bullish about November given President Trump's quote low approval ratings.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: But the Democratic Party and its allies are far behind
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Republicans when it comes to money. President Trump controls a
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: four hundred million dollar superpack and the Republican National Committee
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: is sitting on nearly one hundred and thirty million, and
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: mister Martin's DNC is yeah, two million dollars in debt. Now,
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: to put that in perspective, Trump controlling the four hundred
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: million superpack and then the RNC having one hundred and
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: thirty million means that's five hundred and thirty million to
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: negative two million in debt for the DNC. Now, the
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Committee's role is not just to help Democrats win back
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: power in the midterms, but also to lead the party
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: in the twenty twenty eight presidential race, they say, including
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: overseeing the new primary calendar, while organizing debates and yeah,
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: announceational convention. Even supporters acknowledge mister Martin's growing sense of paranoia.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: He confronted the party's finance director the spring over what
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: he thought was a budding coup against him, and before
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: he met with a top congressional Democrat Senator Chuck Schamer
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: of New York and Representative Haquem Jeffreys of New York.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: In mid July, assurances were given to an ally of
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: mister Martin that the two party leaders did not plan
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: to use the gathering to call for the chairman's resignation.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Interesting.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Mister Martin, by the way, was elected last February to
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: a four year term by the roughly four hundred and
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: fifty members of the DNC, and only a vote of
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: the membership itself could push him out. So if you
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: want to know how bad it is at the DNC,
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: the Republicans have five hundred and thirty million in their
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: war chest to fight for the midterms and the Democrats
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: are negative two million. This also tells you that the Communists,
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: the Socialists, and the Marxists they're in charge. The Democrats
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: party is not. The Communists, the Socialists, and the Marxists
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: are fully in charge. They're not going anywhere. They own
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: the place.
