WEBVTT - Trump's Tariff Remarks Continue To Cause Controversy

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.360
<v Speaker 1>There are forty days left until Donald Trump, at the

0:00:03.400 --> 0:00:06.640
<v Speaker 1>noon hour on January twentieth, raises his right hand and

0:00:06.680 --> 0:00:11.480
<v Speaker 1>swears the oath. This is the warning, the thirty five

0:00:11.560 --> 0:00:16.279
<v Speaker 1>words that George Washington swore, the only oath that was

0:00:16.320 --> 0:00:21.280
<v Speaker 1>written into the Constitution by our founding fathers, the one

0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:29.160
<v Speaker 1>that Abraham Lincoln took, Teddy Roosevelt, Fdr. Ronald Dragon Bill Clinton.

0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:35.800
<v Speaker 1>I do solemnly swear to preserve, protect, and defend the

0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:40.239
<v Speaker 1>Constitution of the United States. Of course, Donald Trump did

0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:44.199
<v Speaker 1>not do that. He tried to overthrow the government, and

0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:48.479
<v Speaker 1>in the end a plurality of Americans forty nine percent

0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:51.760
<v Speaker 1>said no big deal. And so he will take office,

0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:58.080
<v Speaker 1>and he will sign pardons, and every seditionist who participated

0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:02.120
<v Speaker 1>in the riot, in the coup and the insurrection will

0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:05.600
<v Speaker 1>walk out of prison, not just free, but a maga hero,

0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:10.760
<v Speaker 1>a martyr. On July fourth, twenty twenty six, Donald Trump

0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:13.639
<v Speaker 1>will be on the north portico of the White House

0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:18.920
<v Speaker 1>watching the fireworks explode over the Washington Monument two one

0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:23.160
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fifty years ago. And the men, mostly men

0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 1>who were revered from that moment when the shot was

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:32.200
<v Speaker 1>heard around the world, when the revolution began. They will

0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:36.840
<v Speaker 1>be compared to the January sixth criminals, and the comparison

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 1>will be made from the White House. The age of

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:46.280
<v Speaker 1>desecration is underway and Donald Trump's presidency will need to

0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:51.840
<v Speaker 1>be opposed effectively, fiercely, and in a sustained manner. The

0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Democratic Party as it is is flat on its back,

0:01:56.600 --> 0:02:00.480
<v Speaker 1>and there are some lessons to be gleaned from how

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:04.640
<v Speaker 1>people are responding to Donald Trump in these early days

0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:10.720
<v Speaker 1>that preface his return to power. The Canadian example is fascinating.

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Now Here is what Justin Trudeau said in the aftermath

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 1>of Donald Trump's threat to impose a twenty five percent

0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:22.640
<v Speaker 1>tariff on every good coming across the Canadian border. I

0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:26.040
<v Speaker 1>just drove across that border the other day. The traffic

0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:30.079
<v Speaker 1>was backed up for two and a half hours, tractor

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:35.240
<v Speaker 1>trailers trying to bring commerce from the Canadian side to

0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:38.840
<v Speaker 1>the US side. This is what global trade looks like,

0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:42.520
<v Speaker 1>and it has made our countries too of the richest

0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:45.359
<v Speaker 1>in the world. But Trudeau is correct when he says

0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:49.320
<v Speaker 1>a twenty five percent tariff on Canadian goods would be

0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:54.000
<v Speaker 1>devastating for Canada, every Canadian, and in fact, many many

0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:57.720
<v Speaker 1>millions of Americans, the three million American jobs that are

0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:02.880
<v Speaker 1>dependent on it, the border stateonomies Michigan, New York, Ohio.

0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:07.919
<v Speaker 1>All of these economies are interlinked. So this threat by

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:14.640
<v Speaker 1>Trump to instigate a massive trade war disrupting the trillion

0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:19.280
<v Speaker 1>dollar economy in North America is a very serious thing. Now,

0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:23.919
<v Speaker 1>what Justin Trudeau did is proof that most people drown

0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:27.840
<v Speaker 1>not because they can't swim, rather because they panic. And

0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:34.520
<v Speaker 1>the very unpopular Canadian Prime minister either panicked or saw

0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:40.240
<v Speaker 1>an opportunity to rehabilitate his low pole standings by going

0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:45.640
<v Speaker 1>toe to toe with Trump. Now there's a strategic maxim

0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:50.360
<v Speaker 1>that applies here. It's by the Chinese strategic master Sun Su,

0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:56.520
<v Speaker 1>and it says, when outmatched, bring the tiger to the cave.

0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.840
<v Speaker 1>If you think about it, hunting a tiger which can

0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:03.320
<v Speaker 1>jump twenty two feet in a single leap and run

0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.200
<v Speaker 1>it over forty miles an hour in the wide open,

0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:09.800
<v Speaker 1>it's a very difficult endeavor if you're a single person.

0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:14.760
<v Speaker 1>But if you can lure the faster, the stronger, the

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:19.440
<v Speaker 1>more fearsome tiger to an enclosed space, his advantages will

0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:24.880
<v Speaker 1>be diminished. Thus the maxim went outmatched, bring the Tiger

0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:29.200
<v Speaker 1>to the cave. But for Justin Trudeau, the cave was

0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:32.280
<v Speaker 1>not Mara A Lago. He went to mar A Lago

0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:36.120
<v Speaker 1>as a supplicant, not as a G seven peer. He

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:41.240
<v Speaker 1>went for politics and he got his ass handed to him.

0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:46.240
<v Speaker 1>And now he has been taunted because Donald Trump has

0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:51.480
<v Speaker 1>contempt for weakness, he has no empathy for it whatsoever.

0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:58.240
<v Speaker 1>And all of this accumulated up through the manifest disrespect

0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:03.159
<v Speaker 1>that Trump showed to our ally Canada, into every Canadian

0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:08.080
<v Speaker 1>when he tweeted this the other night. Now, the leader

0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:13.040
<v Speaker 1>of the Canadian opposition is a man named Pierre Palief.

0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:16.159
<v Speaker 1>He is likely to be the next Canadian Prime minister.

0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Now he's a member of the Conservative Party, but he's

0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:26.040
<v Speaker 1>not the best Conservative politician in Canada. That's Doug Ford.

0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:31.080
<v Speaker 1>He's the premier or the governor of Ontario, and Ontario

0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:35.640
<v Speaker 1>is where Toronto is the fourth largest city in North America.

0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:41.520
<v Speaker 1>And this is what Doug Ford said responding to Donald

0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Trump's tweet targeting Justin Trudeau.

0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:49.360
<v Speaker 2>Last night at six point thirty five, we received the

0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:53.039
<v Speaker 2>the biggest threat we've ever received from our closest friends

0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:57.719
<v Speaker 2>and ally from President elect Trump that they're threatening to

0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:01.120
<v Speaker 2>put a twenty five percent tariff on all goods coming

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:06.479
<v Speaker 2>across the border into the US in Mexico. What I

0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:11.200
<v Speaker 2>found unfair about the Commons is to compare us to Mexico.

0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:14.480
<v Speaker 2>Now I can tell you Canada is now Mexico.

0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:19.919
<v Speaker 1>Remember the tweet was sent after midnight. Here's what the

0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:24.640
<v Speaker 1>leader of his party, Pierre Polyeff said, Mister Trudeau.

0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:25.560
<v Speaker 3>Obviously.

0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:28.560
<v Speaker 2>And missus Freeland were not.

0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:32.479
<v Speaker 3>Ready a new full arm plan, and we need a plan,

0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:36.200
<v Speaker 3>a plan to put Canada first.

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:40.799
<v Speaker 1>Notice what none of them are doing, which of course

0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:45.359
<v Speaker 1>is sticking together. No, not as Conservatives, as Canadians, because

0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:49.080
<v Speaker 1>the threat isn't so much a threat against the Conservative

0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Party in Canada, but against the country. And yet the

0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:56.800
<v Speaker 1>leaders of the party that wishes to take power cannot

0:06:57.080 --> 0:07:00.320
<v Speaker 1>put the interests of the country first. They got to

0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:04.480
<v Speaker 1>take a shot at Justin Trudeau. Now they're not criticizing

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Trudeau for the appeasement for the meeting. What they're criticizing

0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:14.680
<v Speaker 1>him for doing is not appeasing Trump fast enough. And

0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:19.240
<v Speaker 1>this is the problem with the philosophy of appeasement. It's

0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:23.840
<v Speaker 1>the philosophy that says I will feed the crocodile and

0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:28.640
<v Speaker 1>hope he eats me least. But in the end, it

0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:32.840
<v Speaker 1>is a strategy that gets you eaten by the crocodile.

0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:37.400
<v Speaker 1>And that is what must be avoided because in forty

0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:42.200
<v Speaker 1>days there must be an opposition to Donald Trump. Let

0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:44.480
<v Speaker 1>me show you this video of Chuck Schumer. This is

0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:48.160
<v Speaker 1>the highest ranking Democrat in the United States right now.

0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:52.440
<v Speaker 1>For the next two years. He will command the overwhelming

0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:56.200
<v Speaker 1>amount of resources as he has in the twenty four

0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:59.600
<v Speaker 1>cycle and in the twenty two cycle, and in the

0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:03.320
<v Speaker 1>twenty cycle, and in the eighteen cycle and in the

0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:07.200
<v Speaker 1>sixteen cycle. He is the general who has maneuvered the

0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:11.680
<v Speaker 1>Democrats into their current predicament. How is he going to

0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:25.920
<v Speaker 1>do communicating against Donald Trump? Let's watch everybody. Wasn't that

0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:34.040
<v Speaker 1>a great rollcal Now, just let me hear you if

0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:42.120
<v Speaker 1>you're ready for president Kamala Harris simple truth is not

0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:46.280
<v Speaker 1>good enough. And yet he will remain the Senate leader,

0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:50.960
<v Speaker 1>the Democratic leader, Jamie Harrison, Well, what he said is

0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:54.760
<v Speaker 1>the Democratic Party needs to hold on to its pronouns,

0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:59.000
<v Speaker 1>to its identity politics, to bad brand Donald Trump ate.

0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:02.400
<v Speaker 1>It is it really what we want to lose democracy

0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:07.800
<v Speaker 1>over all of these identity politics issues, because there's something

0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:11.839
<v Speaker 1>that should be appreciated. That's happening in America right now.

0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:18.120
<v Speaker 1>There is a confluence. There is a great capitulation that

0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:22.880
<v Speaker 1>is occurring by America's power class. They are getting in line,

0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:26.720
<v Speaker 1>as we talked about, and as I predicted, as quickly

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:30.880
<v Speaker 1>as they possibly can. At the same time, Donald Trump

0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:35.240
<v Speaker 1>is not backing down from any of the threats that

0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:39.200
<v Speaker 1>he is making. And what this is creating is a

0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:43.760
<v Speaker 1>frustration and a rage and an anger, the same type

0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:47.959
<v Speaker 1>in two thousand and nine that created the Tea Party movement,

0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:52.040
<v Speaker 1>and the question in this moment, as we see the

0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:57.960
<v Speaker 1>millennial cheers, the widespread praise for vigilantism, for an assassination,

0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:04.160
<v Speaker 1>cold blooded man was shot in the back on a sidewalk, unarmed,

0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:09.200
<v Speaker 1>allegedly by a privileged twenty six year old of a

0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:14.479
<v Speaker 1>family more powerful and more wealthy than most every American

0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:19.240
<v Speaker 1>can conceivably comprehend. And he killed a man, gunned him

0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:23.560
<v Speaker 1>down like an animal, and put aside whatever you may

0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:28.160
<v Speaker 1>think of the American healthcare system. I'd like to show

0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:33.120
<v Speaker 1>you a clip between Piers Morgan and Taylor Lorenz, the

0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:38.240
<v Speaker 1>former New York Times and Washington Post star, and Piers

0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:41.800
<v Speaker 1>Morgan is going to ask a question that seems quite

0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:45.360
<v Speaker 1>appropriate to me, and the question he's going to ask,

0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:47.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to show you, now.

0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:51.319
<v Speaker 3>Why would you be in such a celebratory mood about

0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:54.719
<v Speaker 3>the execution of another human being? Aren't you supposed to

0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:58.080
<v Speaker 3>be on the caring sharing left, where you know you

0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:02.480
<v Speaker 3>believe in the sanctity of life. I do believe in

0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:05.480
<v Speaker 3>the sanctity of life, and I think that's why I felt,

0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:08.000
<v Speaker 3>along with so many other Americans joy.

0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:09.600
<v Speaker 2>Unfortunately, you know.

0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:14.160
<v Speaker 3>Because it's seriously I mean execution.

0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Maybe not joy, but certainly not no, certainly not empathy.

0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:24.160
<v Speaker 1>The American system is binary, meaning there has traditionally been

0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:28.160
<v Speaker 1>two choices. Third parties have played a role in determining

0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:32.440
<v Speaker 1>the outcome, but the choice is binary. Two great political parties,

0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:37.720
<v Speaker 1>and both of these parties have changed, transitioned, swapped big

0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:42.080
<v Speaker 1>parts of the population between them over many years. One

0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:47.480
<v Speaker 1>party was the segregationist party until it became the Integrationist Party,

0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:52.719
<v Speaker 1>and the other party picked up the segregationist detritus. So

0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:57.520
<v Speaker 1>there is a lot of dynamism between the parties. Now.

0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump in forty days, with all of his threats

0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:06.360
<v Speaker 1>and all of his bluster and all of his authoritarian

0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:10.480
<v Speaker 1>zeal is looking for an excuse to deploy the military

0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:14.160
<v Speaker 1>to do whatever. He's made the threats, and I've talked

0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:18.400
<v Speaker 1>about it for two NonStop years. So today I'm not

0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:22.160
<v Speaker 1>going to warn about Donald Trump. I'm not going to

0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:26.720
<v Speaker 1>warn about his threats because we talk about them every day.

0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:29.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to talk about a different threat and the

0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:34.280
<v Speaker 1>choice the American people will surely made, because they've made

0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:36.400
<v Speaker 1>it so many times in the past, we know what

0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:39.200
<v Speaker 1>it will be and we don't have to wonder about it.

0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:45.520
<v Speaker 1>If Taylor Lorenz of Hobart College and Greenwich kinetic when

0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:49.560
<v Speaker 1>she talks about her pain and suffering with her shit

0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:54.040
<v Speaker 1>eating grin from ear to ear, talking about well, excuse

0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:58.680
<v Speaker 1>me my lack of empathy for the gundown man murdered

0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:01.840
<v Speaker 1>like a fucking animal on a New York sidewall, the

0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:06.160
<v Speaker 1>American people will do what the German people did some

0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:11.560
<v Speaker 1>eighty years ago. They will look between two terrible, noxious choices.

0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:14.319
<v Speaker 1>They will look to the left and they will see

0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:17.959
<v Speaker 1>Taylor Lorenz, and they will see her as an extension

0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:22.319
<v Speaker 1>of the chaos and the riots and the defund the police,

0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:27.640
<v Speaker 1>and the cheering for the murder of babies and savagery

0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:32.679
<v Speaker 1>and all of the extremism that she represents, and then

0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:35.320
<v Speaker 1>they'll look at Trump, and they'll look back at her,

0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:38.680
<v Speaker 1>and they'll look at Trump. And in this country, the

0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:43.520
<v Speaker 1>choice will be Trump to protect the society from the

0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:46.400
<v Speaker 1>likes of that, and there will be no exception to

0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:51.560
<v Speaker 1>that choice. The American people will make it every single time.

0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:57.160
<v Speaker 1>What has always been understood in America by anybody who

0:13:57.240 --> 0:14:00.360
<v Speaker 1>gets the history of the country, who appreciates it's the

0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:05.959
<v Speaker 1>national fabric, the culture, the character. America will never be

0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:10.200
<v Speaker 1>a far left Jacobin's society. The threat of it, though,

0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:13.200
<v Speaker 1>will give us a fascist one. And here we are

0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:18.160
<v Speaker 1>across social media. The fire is too big to ignore,

0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:23.480
<v Speaker 1>the calls to a savage mayhem of vigilantism, the decay

0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:28.720
<v Speaker 1>of order. The morality that Taylor Lorenz is talking about

0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:29.760
<v Speaker 1>is not morality.

0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:31.200
<v Speaker 3>It's evil.

0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:35.040
<v Speaker 1>And the American people will choose an evil to fight it.

0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.280
<v Speaker 1>And that evil has a name and it has power.

0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Here's the deal, forty days. The Democratic Party needs to

0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:46.120
<v Speaker 1>stand for something, and it needs to fight for something.

0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:50.000
<v Speaker 1>My idea is that the cause should be the United

0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:56.640
<v Speaker 1>States America, our ideas and our ideals, because when they

0:14:56.720 --> 0:15:00.800
<v Speaker 1>have been embraced. They are undefeated. People ask what they

0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:05.120
<v Speaker 1>should do in this moment. Read, Learn, know your history.

0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:11.400
<v Speaker 1>This is the most important speech ever given on American soil.

0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:15.520
<v Speaker 1>Watch it this recreation of it, the Gettysburg Address.

0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:21.360
<v Speaker 4>Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth

0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:28.760
<v Speaker 4>upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and

0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:34.040
<v Speaker 4>dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:40.280
<v Speaker 4>Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing

0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:47.400
<v Speaker 4>whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated,

0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:52.800
<v Speaker 4>can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield

0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:56.800
<v Speaker 4>of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion

0:15:56.960 --> 0:16:01.760
<v Speaker 4>of that field as a final resting place, where they

0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:06.560
<v Speaker 4>who here gave their lives that that nation might live.

0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:12.200
<v Speaker 4>It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:21.480
<v Speaker 4>But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, We cannot consecrate,

0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:29.520
<v Speaker 4>We cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead,

0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:35.720
<v Speaker 4>who struggled here have consecrated it far above our power

0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:42.120
<v Speaker 4>to add or detract. The world will little note nor

0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:46.520
<v Speaker 4>long remember what we say here, but it can never

0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:52.080
<v Speaker 4>forget what they did here. It is for us, the living,

0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:57.920
<v Speaker 4>rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work, which

0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:03.040
<v Speaker 4>they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.

0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:07.040
<v Speaker 4>It is rather for us to be here dedicated to

0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:12.640
<v Speaker 4>the great task remaining before us, that from these honored

0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:17.760
<v Speaker 4>dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which

0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:25.359
<v Speaker 4>they here gave the last full measure of devotion. That

0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:30.520
<v Speaker 4>we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have

0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:37.600
<v Speaker 4>died in vain, that this nation under God shall have

0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:42.920
<v Speaker 4>a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people,

0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:50.720
<v Speaker 4>by the people, for the people shall not perish from

0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:51.360
<v Speaker 4>the earth.

0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:59.800
<v Speaker 1>It matters today as much as it did then, because

0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:03.840
<v Speaker 1>the contest for the survival of this republic, as we're

0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:07.760
<v Speaker 1>about to find out, is an enduring one. This is

0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:12.359
