WEBVTT - Trump and Vance Want To Take Away Your Rights

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:05.560
<v Speaker 1>My friends, you are being lied to NonStop around the clock.

0:00:06.040 --> 0:00:10.479
<v Speaker 1>You are being fed a diet of dangerous nonsense that

0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:14.000
<v Speaker 1>will light the world on fire. We have in this

0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:19.279
<v Speaker 1>country lost touch with our history, with the events of

0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:24.280
<v Speaker 1>the twentieth century that almost pulled the world into an

0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:29.880
<v Speaker 1>abyss from which it would not have recovered. We, had

0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:34.519
<v Speaker 1>we been born or survived at all, would be slaves.

0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:39.839
<v Speaker 1>That is how close the darkness came. This is the warning.

0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:46.240
<v Speaker 1>These are historic days. Men are trying to take power

0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:52.040
<v Speaker 1>and with it your rights to speech, to conscience. The

0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:58.360
<v Speaker 1>ideas of liberty that are foundational to America have lit

0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:04.040
<v Speaker 1>and inspired people all over the world. These ideas are

0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:09.360
<v Speaker 1>worth fighting for, and one million Americans over the last

0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:14.120
<v Speaker 1>two hundred and fifty years gave their lives to defend

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:22.080
<v Speaker 1>not deals, not real estate transactions, but values, the ephemeral freedom,

0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:26.240
<v Speaker 1>the notion that all men are created equal and endowed

0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:31.200
<v Speaker 1>by a creator with inalienable rights that include life, liberty,

0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:34.640
<v Speaker 1>and the pursuit of happiness. And it is this idea

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:39.560
<v Speaker 1>that has inspired free people around the world. Free people

0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:44.080
<v Speaker 1>fight for their freedom, and the United States has always

0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:48.040
<v Speaker 1>stood on the side of freedom. It has stood on

0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 1>the side of the men and women around the world

0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:57.040
<v Speaker 1>who have raised up a fist and said no. Until

0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:04.320
<v Speaker 1>very recently, until the calling shameful and embarrassing scene in

0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:09.720
<v Speaker 1>the Oval Office. John Kennedy talked about assembling a cabinet

0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>of excellence, talked about assembling a cabinet of character and

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:20.720
<v Speaker 1>purpose and dedication. Donald Trump has assembled a freak show.

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Let's take a look at the sister who is the

0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:30.080
<v Speaker 1>Commerce Secretary, the billionaire Howard Lucknik, who has dined out

0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:34.639
<v Speaker 1>on the nine to eleven tragedy for twenty five years,

0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:39.119
<v Speaker 1>trying to mask his scum baggery with acts of what

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:43.720
<v Speaker 1>he calls empathy. The truth is he is an immoral man,

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.560
<v Speaker 1>and now he is one of the faces of the

0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:50.400
<v Speaker 1>US government. He is unworthy to say the names the

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Lensky out loud. But listen to this man. Listen to

0:02:55.760 --> 0:03:02.960
<v Speaker 1>him denigrate Ukraine. Listen to him parrot Putin's propaganda. Appreciate

0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:07.400
<v Speaker 1>his ignorance. What a lightweight he is there he sits

0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:13.840
<v Speaker 1>next to Wolf Flitzer, spewing utter nonsense, incapable of understanding.

0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:18.040
<v Speaker 1>The reason there is war in Ukraine is that Ukraine

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:22.320
<v Speaker 1>has been invaded by a tyrant and a dictator. That

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:27.080
<v Speaker 1>has killed their people, has raped women, has raped girls,

0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:31.680
<v Speaker 1>has raped old ladies, and has kidnapped children. And Howard

0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:35.440
<v Speaker 1>Lucknik sits there and says that the impediment to peace

0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:38.720
<v Speaker 1>is the invaded people who have picked up rifles and

0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:43.160
<v Speaker 1>fought back and killed the Russian savage. It is an

0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:50.440
<v Speaker 1>extraordinary moment to watch this buffoon who was incredibly just

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:58.320
<v Speaker 1>weeks ago given power with democratic votes. Let's watch the immorality.

0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:02.480
<v Speaker 2>We love him, we appreciate America. You know, we want

0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:04.280
<v Speaker 2>you by our side. And if you think we should

0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:07.480
<v Speaker 2>have peace, we should have peace, right. But instead he said,

0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:10.920
<v Speaker 2>I want three hundred billion in reparations from Russia.

0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:13.520
<v Speaker 1>I want them off my land. I want all the land,

0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:14.760
<v Speaker 1>really all the.

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:19.720
<v Speaker 2>Land and reparations and security guarantees. The answer was, it's

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:23.600
<v Speaker 2>just way too far. That's not a peacemaker, that's a troublemaker.

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:26.120
<v Speaker 2>And that's what the president saw. And he took it

0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:29.360
<v Speaker 2>for forty minutes before and forty five minutes in front

0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:31.880
<v Speaker 2>of the camera, and then it was just enough.

0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:38.040
<v Speaker 1>Already enough enough is enough? Is about right? Jake E.

0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:43.880
<v Speaker 1>Vance is crazy. Jake Vance has decided because he is

0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:48.680
<v Speaker 1>a Peter Field disciple, a wacko that the threat to

0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Western civilization is not the Russian ballistic missile raining down

0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:58.919
<v Speaker 1>on European men and children. No, it's the enforcement of

0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:05.520
<v Speaker 1>laws in German that say we won't tolerate speech by Nazis.

0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:07.599
<v Speaker 3>That we're not allowed to debate ideas, that we're not

0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:10.480
<v Speaker 3>allowed to discuss things, that we have to silence people,

0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:14.200
<v Speaker 3>censor them, throw them in jail for silently praying outside

0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 3>of an abortion clinic. These ideas are going to destroy

0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:20.479
<v Speaker 3>Western civilization, They're going to destroy Europe, and they would

0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:23.039
<v Speaker 3>destroy the United States of America if we allowed them

0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:25.839
<v Speaker 3>to fester. Thank God, we have a president now who

0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:28.480
<v Speaker 3>believes in free speech. But the danger is still there.

0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.040
<v Speaker 3>The danger is there in Europe, the danger is there

0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:32.760
<v Speaker 3>in the United States of America. We have to ask

0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:36.160
<v Speaker 3>ourselves the questions as leaders, are we willing to defend

0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:39.800
<v Speaker 3>people even if we disagree with what they say personally.

0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:44.720
<v Speaker 1>I think European speech laws are restrictive. I don't like them.

0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:48.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't support them. I believe in the First Amendment,

0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:52.200
<v Speaker 1>and I think every free society should have a First Amendment.

0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:56.680
<v Speaker 1>But every free society is not the United States of

0:05:56.720 --> 0:06:01.479
<v Speaker 1>America alone, and each free society be free to make

0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:05.920
<v Speaker 1>the decisions about how they regulate the most offensive and

0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:10.320
<v Speaker 1>hateful type of speech that, within the lifetime of eighty years,

0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:14.359
<v Speaker 1>burned down their cities and killed in excess around the

0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:18.039
<v Speaker 1>world eighty million people. Though that simple fact has been

0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:22.320
<v Speaker 1>forgotten by Maga, though it has never been learned by J. D. Vance,

0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:26.320
<v Speaker 1>it has not been unlearned by the Europeans, who remember

0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 1>the starvation, who remember the Holocaust, who remember the rise

0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:36.359
<v Speaker 1>through democratic elections of the greatest evil and virulence in

0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:42.520
<v Speaker 1>world history. They remember JD. Vance thinks and serves a

0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:48.200
<v Speaker 1>cause that believes and holds that Germany and France, Yes,

0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:51.320
<v Speaker 1>this is what Victor Orbon has said, are part of

0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:58.320
<v Speaker 1>old Europe, postmodern Europe. What Orbon has said is mongrelized Europe.

0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Europe now Orbon's says is central Europe, and Europe is values.

0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:10.440
<v Speaker 1>It's civilization, specifically white civilization. This is what yokes Orbond

0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:14.720
<v Speaker 1>to Hitler, and it explains the affinity of all of

0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:20.120
<v Speaker 1>these people. For Vladimir putin the world's most powerful fascist,

0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:25.000
<v Speaker 1>so powerful indeed that he can bend to his will,

0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:28.360
<v Speaker 1>the most powerful man in the world, the president of

0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:32.360
<v Speaker 1>the United States, who he has turned into a yellow

0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:37.680
<v Speaker 1>striped belly crawler, who debased the United States, the presidency

0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:41.160
<v Speaker 1>of the United States, and the Oval Office with an

0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:46.520
<v Speaker 1>act of submission and weakness and surrender that is unprecedented

0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:51.320
<v Speaker 1>in the entire history of the United States. These are

0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:56.040
<v Speaker 1>low days tonight. Donald Trump, the head of the Article

0:07:56.400 --> 0:08:00.480
<v Speaker 1>two branch of government, the executive, a man who sent

0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:04.240
<v Speaker 1>a mob to storm and attack and piss on the

0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:07.680
<v Speaker 1>floors and shit on the floors of the Article one

0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:11.920
<v Speaker 1>branch of government, will again reach the doors and come

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:17.960
<v Speaker 1>to desecrate the place with venomous words of division, lies, lies,

0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:22.040
<v Speaker 1>and more lies, which he will spew forth. What should

0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:26.080
<v Speaker 1>democrats do? Some democrats say the thing to do tonight

0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:30.280
<v Speaker 1>is to dress up wearing different colors. Some say they

0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:34.520
<v Speaker 1>should wear black, others pink. Some say the thing to

0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:38.000
<v Speaker 1>do is wear white. Some say they should bring placards

0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:42.400
<v Speaker 1>and degrade the Congress in the same manner that Trump

0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:47.199
<v Speaker 1>degrades it. Because of course, degradation is a contest they

0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:50.720
<v Speaker 1>can win against Donald Trump. What democrats should do is

0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:54.680
<v Speaker 1>sit in silence. This man who is attacking and savaging

0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:59.040
<v Speaker 1>the government, this man who is assaulting the Atlantic alliance.

0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:03.120
<v Speaker 1>This man who is breaking the law does not deserve respect.

0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Stay seated as he walks in. When he starts powerting

0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:12.760
<v Speaker 1>the Russian propagandalized, silently, stand up, one by one and

0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:16.720
<v Speaker 1>walk out. Let it start one and then the next,

0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:19.800
<v Speaker 1>and the next, and let the trickle turn into a

0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:24.160
<v Speaker 1>line and into a flood of people leaving and walking out.

0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.719
<v Speaker 1>Here is the thing, my friends, whether it is for

0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Europe's leaders or democratic politicians, what Donald Trump needs, what

0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:38.640
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump craves, is to be at the center of things.

0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:43.440
<v Speaker 1>Walking out on him moves the center. It pushes him

0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:47.640
<v Speaker 1>to the periphery. When the Europeans meet in London and

0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:50.600
<v Speaker 1>there is no Trump and they act, Trump moves to

0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:55.480
<v Speaker 1>the periphery, handing Trump like Sir kir did a golden

0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:59.679
<v Speaker 1>ticket from King Charles, like it's a Willy Wonka candy

0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:03.080
<v Speaker 1>grand is the wrong thing to do. The wrong thing

0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:06.320
<v Speaker 1>to do is to appease Trump. The right thing to

0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:09.959
<v Speaker 1>do is to do what this man is doing. Doug Ford,

0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:15.400
<v Speaker 1>who amazingly is undercovered and unseen in the United States

0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:18.680
<v Speaker 1>despite the fact he is the only leader in the

0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:24.600
<v Speaker 1>world who has been elected since Donald Trump's inauguration, explicitly,

0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:29.440
<v Speaker 1>clearly and directly on a platform that says, trust me,

0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:33.520
<v Speaker 1>I won't back down. I'll stand up for you. I'll

0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:37.679
<v Speaker 1>fight Trump and fight Doug Ford will. Doug Ford at

0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:41.920
<v Speaker 1>this hour is fighting for my American values. Doug Ford,

0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:45.439
<v Speaker 1>at this hour, is fighting for your values, our country's

0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:49.800
<v Speaker 1>ideas and ideals by being tough, by being steely, and

0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:55.280
<v Speaker 1>being defiant against an unwarranted economic attack by the most

0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:59.640
<v Speaker 1>powerful economy in the world, against our neighbor, our best

0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 1>friend and ally with which we share the longest undefended

0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:09.760
<v Speaker 1>border in world history. This is what Donald Trump is attacking.

0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:14.080
<v Speaker 1>He is pouring acid on the bonds of friendship, the

0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:19.319
<v Speaker 1>combined faiths of people who have blood together, fought together,

0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:25.040
<v Speaker 1>saved the world together. Canadians landed on Juno Beach, they

0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:28.959
<v Speaker 1>were shouldered a shoulder with Americans on d Day. And

0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump has no goddamn right to do what he

0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:37.280
<v Speaker 1>is doing. Shame on him, and shame on any American

0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:41.720
<v Speaker 1>who stands with that bully and his despotism in this

0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:47.040
<v Speaker 1>hour of assault and degradation, against all of the things

0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:50.760
<v Speaker 1>that we have long held true and have even longer

0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:56.280
<v Speaker 1>claimed to believe and commit ourselves to saying that we

0:11:56.360 --> 0:12:00.400
<v Speaker 1>would never allow what is happening to happen, and it

0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:05.240
<v Speaker 1>happens on our watch. This generation of American citizens who

0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:10.400
<v Speaker 1>sit and see and must believe that Elon Musk is

0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:15.199
<v Speaker 1>this Donald Trump serves an evil cause. See it clearly.

0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:18.880
<v Speaker 1>This man that comes into the Congress tonight comes as

0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:22.760
<v Speaker 1>an invader of our values and ideas. He is a

0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:28.720
<v Speaker 1>most despicable man. This is the morning. I'm Steve Schmidt.

0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:31.240
