You have 13 days to go.
What do you say to those voters to convince them?
Because some of them are in this room.
Sure. And I thank you all for taking the time to be here.
And you could be doing a number of other things with your time.
So this really is proof that we love our country.
People are engaged, Anderson, and really want to talk about the issues.
And so the issue that you raise.
Yes, I do believe that Donald Trump is unstable,
increasingly unstable and unfit to serve.
And I don't necessarily think that everyone has heard
what you and I have heard repeatedly, which is the people who know
Donald Trump best, the people who worked with him in the White House,
in the Situation Room, in the Oval Office, all Republicans, by the way,
who served in his administration, his former chief of staff,
his national security adviser,
former secretaries of defense and his vice president
have all called him unfit and dangerous.
They have said explicitly he has contempt for the Constitution
of the United States.
They have said he should never again serve as president of the United States.
We know that is why Mike Pence is not running with him again,
why the job was empty.
And then today we learned that John Kelly, a four star marine general
who is his longest serving chief of staff,
gave an interview recently in the last two weeks of this election
talking about how dangerous Donald Trump is.
And I think one has to think about why would someone who served with him,
who is not political, a four star marine general,
why is he telling the American people now?
And frankly, I think of it as he's just putting out a 911 call
to the American people.
Understand what could happen if Donald Trump were back in the White House.
And this time we must take very seriously
those folks who knew him best and who were career people
are not going to be there to hold him back.
At least before there were folks who we know what he would say,
but they would restrain him.
Imagine now Donald Trump in the Oval Office,
in the Situation Room, he was openly admired.
Dictators said he would be a dictator on day one.
The former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has said
he is a fascist to the core.
So I think that when the American people reflect,
especially those who are undecided on who you should listen to,
don't take my word for it.
In fact, go online and listen to John Kelly, his voice
talking about what he thinks of Donald Trump two weeks before the election,
because I think we all know, to your point, Anderson, it is close.
But there are undecided voters who clearly, by being here, have an open mind,
want to talk in a way that is about grounded in issues and fact.
And when they hear these facts, I think it compels a lot of people
to be concerned about the future of our country with Donald Trump at the lead.
You've quoted General Milley calling Donald Trump a fascist.
You yourself have not used that word to describe him.
Let me ask you tonight.
Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?
Yes, I do. Yes, I do.
And I and I also believe that the people who know him best
on this subject should be trusted.
