0:00.0	76 days to go until the last vote is cast and the American people make their choice.
0:06.9	Will it be this orange-tinted fascist or the first woman vice president of the United States of America, Kamala Harris?
0:16.7	This is the warning.
0:19.4	The choice is in the hands of the American people, as it always has been.
0:24.6	What makes Donald Trump different is Donald Trump says, and stands for the proposition,
0:31.6	I love my country when I win an election.
0:34.6	I love my country when I'm in power. I love my country when I'm winning.
0:40.4	That's not love of country. That's sedition. In the end, Donald Trump was the worst president

1:56.0	who tapped her on the shoulder and set her on her destiny. Now, Joe Biden spoke clearly, honestly, and with
2:06.1	conviction and deep love for America, while his former opponent, the man facing off against
2:13.3	Kamala Harris, went on yet another troubling, unhinged rant. Now, I said that I believed all through
2:22.2	this campaign that 82 to 86 years old was too old to be president of the United States.
2:28.9	I believe that with every fiber of my being. And it is time to talk clearly about the decomposition of Donald Trump.
2:38.2	He is rambling. He is incoherent. What is wrong with Donald Trump? What's wrong with him?
