1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: There are forty days left until Donald Trump, at the 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: noon hour on January twentieth, raises his right hand and 3 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:11,480 Speaker 1: swears the oath. This is the warning, the thirty five 4 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:16,279 Speaker 1: words that George Washington swore, the only oath that was 5 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:21,280 Speaker 1: written into the Constitution by our founding fathers, the one 6 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 1: that Abraham Lincoln took, Teddy Roosevelt, Fdr. Ronald Dragon Bill Clinton. 7 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: I do solemnly swear to preserve, protect, and defend the 8 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:40,239 Speaker 1: Constitution of the United States. Of course, Donald Trump did 9 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: not do that. He tried to overthrow the government, and 10 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: in the end a plurality of Americans forty nine percent 11 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: said no big deal. And so he will take office, 12 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: and he will sign pardons, and every seditionist who participated 13 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: in the riot, in the coup and the insurrection will 14 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: walk out of prison, not just free, but a maga hero, 15 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 1: a martyr. On July fourth, twenty twenty six, Donald Trump 16 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,639 Speaker 1: will be on the north portico of the White House 17 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: watching the fireworks explode over the Washington Monument two one 18 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty years ago. And the men, mostly men 19 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: who were revered from that moment when the shot was 20 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: heard around the world, when the revolution began. They will 21 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: be compared to the January sixth criminals, and the comparison 22 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: will be made from the White House. The age of 23 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: desecration is underway and Donald Trump's presidency will need to 24 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: be opposed effectively, fiercely, and in a sustained manner. The 25 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: Democratic Party as it is is flat on its back, 26 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: and there are some lessons to be gleaned from how 27 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: people are responding to Donald Trump in these early days 28 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: that preface his return to power. The Canadian example is fascinating. 29 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: Now Here is what Justin Trudeau said in the aftermath 30 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: of Donald Trump's threat to impose a twenty five percent 31 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: tariff on every good coming across the Canadian border. I 32 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: just drove across that border the other day. The traffic 33 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 1: was backed up for two and a half hours, tractor 34 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: trailers trying to bring commerce from the Canadian side to 35 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: the US side. This is what global trade looks like, 36 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: and it has made our countries too of the richest 37 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 1: in the world. But Trudeau is correct when he says 38 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: a twenty five percent tariff on Canadian goods would be 39 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: devastating for Canada, every Canadian, and in fact, many many 40 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: millions of Americans, the three million American jobs that are 41 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: dependent on it, the border stateonomies Michigan, New York, Ohio. 42 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: All of these economies are interlinked. So this threat by 43 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: Trump to instigate a massive trade war disrupting the trillion 44 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: dollar economy in North America is a very serious thing. Now, 45 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: what Justin Trudeau did is proof that most people drown 46 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: not because they can't swim, rather because they panic. And 47 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: the very unpopular Canadian Prime minister either panicked or saw 48 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: an opportunity to rehabilitate his low pole standings by going 49 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: toe to toe with Trump. Now there's a strategic maxim 50 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: that applies here. It's by the Chinese strategic master Sun Su, 51 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: and it says, when outmatched, bring the tiger to the cave. 52 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: If you think about it, hunting a tiger which can 53 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: jump twenty two feet in a single leap and run 54 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: it over forty miles an hour in the wide open, 55 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: it's a very difficult endeavor if you're a single person. 56 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: But if you can lure the faster, the stronger, the 57 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: more fearsome tiger to an enclosed space, his advantages will 58 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: be diminished. Thus the maxim went outmatched, bring the Tiger 59 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: to the cave. But for Justin Trudeau, the cave was 60 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: not Mara A Lago. He went to mar A Lago 61 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: as a supplicant, not as a G seven peer. He 62 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: went for politics and he got his ass handed to him. 63 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: And now he has been taunted because Donald Trump has 64 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: contempt for weakness, he has no empathy for it whatsoever. 65 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: And all of this accumulated up through the manifest disrespect 66 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: that Trump showed to our ally Canada, into every Canadian 67 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: when he tweeted this the other night. Now, the leader 68 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: of the Canadian opposition is a man named Pierre Palief. 69 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: He is likely to be the next Canadian Prime minister. 70 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: Now he's a member of the Conservative Party, but he's 71 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 1: not the best Conservative politician in Canada. That's Doug Ford. 72 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: He's the premier or the governor of Ontario, and Ontario 73 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: is where Toronto is the fourth largest city in North America. 74 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: And this is what Doug Ford said responding to Donald 75 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: Trump's tweet targeting Justin Trudeau. 76 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 2: Last night at six point thirty five, we received the 77 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 2: the biggest threat we've ever received from our closest friends 78 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 2: and ally from President elect Trump that they're threatening to 79 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 2: put a twenty five percent tariff on all goods coming 80 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 2: across the border into the US in Mexico. What I 81 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 2: found unfair about the Commons is to compare us to Mexico. 82 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 2: Now I can tell you Canada is now Mexico. 83 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,919 Speaker 1: Remember the tweet was sent after midnight. Here's what the 84 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: leader of his party, Pierre Polyeff said, Mister Trudeau. 85 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 3: Obviously. 86 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 2: And missus Freeland were not. 87 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 3: Ready a new full arm plan, and we need a plan, 88 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 3: a plan to put Canada first. 89 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,799 Speaker 1: Notice what none of them are doing, which of course 90 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 1: is sticking together. No, not as Conservatives, as Canadians, because 91 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: the threat isn't so much a threat against the Conservative 92 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: Party in Canada, but against the country. And yet the 93 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: leaders of the party that wishes to take power cannot 94 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: put the interests of the country first. They got to 95 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: take a shot at Justin Trudeau. Now they're not criticizing 96 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 1: Trudeau for the appeasement for the meeting. What they're criticizing 97 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: him for doing is not appeasing Trump fast enough. And 98 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: this is the problem with the philosophy of appeasement. It's 99 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: the philosophy that says I will feed the crocodile and 100 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: hope he eats me least. But in the end, it 101 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: is a strategy that gets you eaten by the crocodile. 102 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: And that is what must be avoided because in forty 103 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: days there must be an opposition to Donald Trump. Let 104 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: me show you this video of Chuck Schumer. This is 105 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: the highest ranking Democrat in the United States right now. 106 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: For the next two years. He will command the overwhelming 107 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: amount of resources as he has in the twenty four 108 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: cycle and in the twenty two cycle, and in the 109 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: twenty cycle, and in the eighteen cycle and in the 110 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: sixteen cycle. He is the general who has maneuvered the 111 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: Democrats into their current predicament. How is he going to 112 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: do communicating against Donald Trump? Let's watch everybody. Wasn't that 113 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: a great rollcal Now, just let me hear you if 114 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: you're ready for president Kamala Harris simple truth is not 115 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: good enough. And yet he will remain the Senate leader, 116 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 1: the Democratic leader, Jamie Harrison, Well, what he said is 117 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party needs to hold on to its pronouns, 118 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: to its identity politics, to bad brand Donald Trump ate. 119 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: It is it really what we want to lose democracy 120 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: over all of these identity politics issues, because there's something 121 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,839 Speaker 1: that should be appreciated. That's happening in America right now. 122 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: There is a confluence. There is a great capitulation that 123 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: is occurring by America's power class. They are getting in line, 124 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: as we talked about, and as I predicted, as quickly 125 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: as they possibly can. At the same time, Donald Trump 126 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: is not backing down from any of the threats that 127 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: he is making. And what this is creating is a 128 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: frustration and a rage and an anger, the same type 129 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,959 Speaker 1: in two thousand and nine that created the Tea Party movement, 130 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: and the question in this moment, as we see the 131 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: millennial cheers, the widespread praise for vigilantism, for an assassination, 132 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: cold blooded man was shot in the back on a sidewalk, unarmed, 133 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: allegedly by a privileged twenty six year old of a 134 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:14,479 Speaker 1: family more powerful and more wealthy than most every American 135 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: can conceivably comprehend. And he killed a man, gunned him 136 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: down like an animal, and put aside whatever you may 137 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: think of the American healthcare system. I'd like to show 138 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: you a clip between Piers Morgan and Taylor Lorenz, the 139 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: former New York Times and Washington Post star, and Piers 140 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: Morgan is going to ask a question that seems quite 141 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: appropriate to me, and the question he's going to ask, 142 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,119 Speaker 1: I'm going to show you, now. 143 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 3: Why would you be in such a celebratory mood about 144 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,719 Speaker 3: the execution of another human being? Aren't you supposed to 145 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 3: be on the caring sharing left, where you know you 146 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 3: believe in the sanctity of life. I do believe in 147 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 3: the sanctity of life, and I think that's why I felt, 148 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 3: along with so many other Americans joy. 149 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 2: Unfortunately, you know. 150 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 3: Because it's seriously I mean execution. 151 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 2: Maybe not joy, but certainly not no, certainly not empathy. 152 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: The American system is binary, meaning there has traditionally been 153 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: two choices. Third parties have played a role in determining 154 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: the outcome, but the choice is binary. Two great political parties, 155 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: and both of these parties have changed, transitioned, swapped big 156 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 1: parts of the population between them over many years. One 157 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: party was the segregationist party until it became the Integrationist Party, 158 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:52,719 Speaker 1: and the other party picked up the segregationist detritus. So 159 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: there is a lot of dynamism between the parties. Now. 160 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 1: Donald Trump in forty days, with all of his threats 161 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: and all of his bluster and all of his authoritarian 162 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: zeal is looking for an excuse to deploy the military 163 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: to do whatever. He's made the threats, and I've talked 164 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: about it for two NonStop years. So today I'm not 165 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: going to warn about Donald Trump. I'm not going to 166 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: warn about his threats because we talk about them every day. 167 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about a different threat and the 168 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: choice the American people will surely made, because they've made 169 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: it so many times in the past, we know what 170 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: it will be and we don't have to wonder about it. 171 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: If Taylor Lorenz of Hobart College and Greenwich kinetic when 172 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: she talks about her pain and suffering with her shit 173 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: eating grin from ear to ear, talking about well, excuse 174 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: me my lack of empathy for the gundown man murdered 175 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 1: like a fucking animal on a New York sidewall, the 176 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: American people will do what the German people did some 177 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 1: eighty years ago. They will look between two terrible, noxious choices. 178 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 1: They will look to the left and they will see 179 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,959 Speaker 1: Taylor Lorenz, and they will see her as an extension 180 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,319 Speaker 1: of the chaos and the riots and the defund the police, 181 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: and the cheering for the murder of babies and savagery 182 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 1: and all of the extremism that she represents, and then 183 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 1: they'll look at Trump, and they'll look back at her, 184 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 1: and they'll look at Trump. And in this country, the 185 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: choice will be Trump to protect the society from the 186 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: likes of that, and there will be no exception to 187 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 1: that choice. The American people will make it every single time. 188 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: What has always been understood in America by anybody who 189 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: gets the history of the country, who appreciates it's the 190 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:05,959 Speaker 1: national fabric, the culture, the character. America will never be 191 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 1: a far left Jacobin's society. The threat of it, though, 192 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 1: will give us a fascist one. And here we are 193 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: across social media. The fire is too big to ignore, 194 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: the calls to a savage mayhem of vigilantism, the decay 195 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: of order. The morality that Taylor Lorenz is talking about 196 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: is not morality. 197 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 3: It's evil. 198 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: And the American people will choose an evil to fight it. 199 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: And that evil has a name and it has power. 200 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: Here's the deal, forty days. The Democratic Party needs to 201 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: stand for something, and it needs to fight for something. 202 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: My idea is that the cause should be the United 203 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: States America, our ideas and our ideals, because when they 204 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: have been embraced. They are undefeated. People ask what they 205 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: should do in this moment. Read, Learn, know your history. 206 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: This is the most important speech ever given on American soil. 207 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: Watch it this recreation of it, the Gettysburg Address. 208 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 4: Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth 209 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 4: upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and 210 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 4: dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. 211 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 4: Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing 212 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 4: whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, 213 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 4: can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield 214 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 4: of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion 215 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 4: of that field as a final resting place, where they 216 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 4: who here gave their lives that that nation might live. 217 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 4: It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. 218 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 4: But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, We cannot consecrate, 219 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 4: We cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, 220 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 4: who struggled here have consecrated it far above our power 221 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 4: to add or detract. The world will little note nor 222 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 4: long remember what we say here, but it can never 223 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 4: forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, 224 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 4: rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work, which 225 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 4: they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. 226 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 4: It is rather for us to be here dedicated to 227 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 4: the great task remaining before us, that from these honored 228 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 4: dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which 229 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 4: they here gave the last full measure of devotion. That 230 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 4: we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have 231 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 4: died in vain, that this nation under God shall have 232 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 4: a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, 233 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 4: by the people, for the people shall not perish from 234 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 4: the earth. 235 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: It matters today as much as it did then, because 236 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: the contest for the survival of this republic, as we're 237 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: about to find out, is an enduring one. This is 238 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: the morning. I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the morning, and 239 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,919 Speaker 1: I invite you to join.
