It is the 18th of September and 48 days remain until the American people elect one third of the United States Senate,

the entire House of Representatives, and choose the 47th president of the United States.

This is the warning.

There is a community in trouble in America, Springfield, Ohio.

It is under siege by a blizzard of lies, by demagoguery that has endangered its citizens,

placed its people in jeopardy. The schools, the hospitals, have been closed because of bomb threats. Here is what the mayor of Springfield,

Ohio said when he was directly asked to respond to the proposition advanced by J.D. Vance

that Donald Trump's lies and J.D. Vance's lies were a good thing for the people of Springfield because they needed the

attention from the national media. But none of this attention that has been brought upon

Springfield, Ohio is helping us. We only have troops, state troopers here now and the level we have because of the threats we've

received in the last five, I think we're going on five or six days of continuous threats.

We were not receiving threats before at this level when we were highlighted on the national

stage. Now we have threats.

What is the nature of this debate that is happening about whether Haitians are eating dogs

and cats and geese in Springfield, Ohio? It's certainly stupid. On first contact with the

assertion, when Trump said it out loud,

here was the vice president's completely natural reaction.

In Springfield, they're eating the dogs, the people that came in, they're eating the cats,

they're eating the pets of the people that live there.

Now, let's be honest about something.

This is part of Trump's appeal.

The shock makes you laugh.
