1
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 1: Even after eight years, there is so much confusion about

2
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: a question that is important to talk about. Why are

3
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: so many Americans supporting a man, Donald Trump, who incited

4
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 1: an insurrection, is charged with ninety two felony counts, including

5
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: violations of the Espionage Act. Why are they supporting somebody

6
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: who has been convicted by a jury of sexual abuse.

7
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: Why are they supporting somebody who is clearly demented, unhinged, angry,

8
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: and threatening. Donald Trump and his minions have made clear

9
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: that on January twentieth of twenty twenty five, at noon,

10
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: should he become president of the United States, he will

11
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: declare martial law. They said it. It's in the Washington

12
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: Post and as fact, directly they've said they'll deploy the

13
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: American military against demonstrators in the street. Will the American

14
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: military follow this illegal order? This is the most important

15
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: question that any journalist in America can be asking. Any

16
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: senior military officer, ask the senior enlisted ranks, what will

17
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: happen if the President of the United States orders the

18
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: American military to act against the American people. What will

19
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: the American military do? Will they follow this unconstitutional and

20
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: illegal order or will they obey it? Our liberty will

21
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: hang into balance on that question. If the world's most

22
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: powerful military is loosed against the citizens for whom it

23
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: was designed to serve, to burn down the Constitution, it's

24
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: worth to attecked that Trump will be the American dictator.

25
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: It will have taken him eight years time from the

26
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: moment he descended the stairs and Trump Tower preposterously to

27
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: have assumed full power in the United States. It will

28
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 1: have happened because of cynicism, because of opportunism, because of cowardice,

29
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: and because of the lust for the almighty dollar. Year

30
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: after year after year, the Trump Show rolled on until

31
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: everything was steamrolled behind it. The indecency, the malice. How

32
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: do you explain the appeal? I'm going to try. I

33
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: want to try to clear up the confusion about what

34
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: it is that people see when they look at Donald

35
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: Trump and make an assessment that he should be in charge.

36
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: There are a million Americans debts because of the opioid epidemic,

37
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: triggered in part by the greed of a company, but

38
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: also the corruption of the FDA. There are millions more

39
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: struggling with the effects of that addiction in their families.

40
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: There are millions of parents with children on the autism

41
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: spectrum disorder, who are not seen, who are not heard.

42
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: There are millions more who are carrying for an elderly parent. Also,

43
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: the simple truth is this, sixty percent six to zero

44
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Forty percent of them

45
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: don't have four hundred dollars available for an emergency. Correspondingly,

46
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: trust has evaporated between those very same American people and

47
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: nearly every institution in the country. You can think to

48
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: name what big institution hasn't let the American people down,

49
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: from the Catholic Church to the Boy Scouts of America

50
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: where I was an Eagle Scout, to the biggest companies

51
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: in the world, and of course to the carnival in Congress,

52
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: the ineptitude of government at a federal, state, local level, everywhere.

53
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: The result is there is no trust, there is no faith,

54
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: there is no belief, and the people are primed to

55
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 1: be poisoned by malice and by demagoguerey by a man

56
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: like Trump. What is Trump at his core? He's a philosopher,

57
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: a philosopher of Uism, and he never ever fails to deliver.

58
00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: You see, when expectations have been reduced to zero and

59
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: there is no trust the few bar is a very

60
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: low one, and so the people delight in seeing one

61
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: person permanently and perpetually antagonize the very people they hold

62
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: responsible for the economic and social decimation they deal within

63
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: their lives. The constant worry, the constant anxiety, the constant

64
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: condescension they feel from their betters who look down at them,

65
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: smirk at them, condemn them, call them stupid. So their

66
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: response of it right back at you through the form

67
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: of Donald Trump, who never ever fails to deliver. Now,

68
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: the problem is, while the FU may be very satisfying

69
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: in the end, does it reduce your health care cost?

70
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: Does it help a sick child? Does it help that

71
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: child go to college or become a master carpenter at

72
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: one of the country's best trade schools? It doesn't. Does

73
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: it launch astronauts into space? Does it cure diseases? Does

74
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: it innovate? Does it create jobs? It does none of

75
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: those things. In the end, it's destructive. In the end,

76
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: it's empty and meaningless. It's nothingness but a distillation of anger,

77
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: which is a secondary emotion rooted in sadness. So many

78
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: of the American people are sad, lonely, disconnected, and they

79
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: want to scream, and there's somebody out there, a wolf

80
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: who sees it. He says, I'll scream for you. I'll

81
00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: get those people. Vengeance, retribution, revenge, all of the vices,

82
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: all of the poisons that can break a society in half,

83
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: that can cause the death of millions of its people.

84
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: That's what trump Ism is. Donald Trump found his way

85
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: to fascism. Donald Trump loves the cruelty and he knows

86
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: he's on the edge of regaining power. He's planning, as

87
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: are his acolytes. They have a plan this time, and

88
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: that plan is to control and subjugate you. They will

89
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: not tolerate the set They will insist on obedience. That

90
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: is where the philosophy of fewism leads. It's a boomerang

91
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: and it will come back aimed direct you. This country

92
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: of ours is far from perfect. It needs work. The

93
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: work of perfecting the Union is the obligation of every

94
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: generation of Americans. Let's not be the generation of Americans

95
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: who was too cowardly to say the truth. Donald Trump

96
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: is winning the twenty twenty four election against a good man,

97
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: and the price of that loss will be the loss

98
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: of freedom in America. There won't be a twenty twenty

99
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: eight election for Gavin Newsom to run in. There won't

100
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: be a twenty twenty eight election for Governor Shapiro to

101
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: run in. There'll be a third term for Trump or

102
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: whomever his successor is, and it will be a very

103
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: very long time before we get this country back, and

104
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,359
Speaker 1: probably not in our lifetimes. Because this is an extremely

105
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 1: important point to understand. Any people so weak, so uncaring,

106
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: so unloving that they would let the light of the

107
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: greatest idea human history go out are not the people

108
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: who are tough enough, capable enough, decent enough, virtuous enough

109
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 1: to light it back up. That's what the stakes are.

110
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: Donald Trump isn't just a bad man. He's an evil man,

111
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: and he must be stopped. And that is the work

112
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 1: of every decent American
