1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,400 Speaker 1: It is the seventeenth of February twenty twenty five, and 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: Donald Trump has repudiated his oath. This is the warning. 3 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: He said that he would preserve, protect, and defend the 4 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 1: constitution of the United States of America. Today he declares 5 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: something very different. He says, today, he who saves his 6 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: country does not violate any law. My friends, these are 7 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 1: the words of a hitler, of a muscliti, of a pinochet, 8 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,160 Speaker 1: of a Franco. They are the words of a dictator, 9 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,879 Speaker 1: of a caesar, of a man who has no respect 10 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: for the law, no concept of restraint, who is feeling 11 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 1: flush with power and is exercising it. And in his 12 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: exercise of his power, he is testing an opposition. He 13 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: is testing old principles, and he is testing courage. He 14 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 1: is testing courage in the media, he is testing courage 15 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: in the Democratic Party. He is testing courage amongst our allies. 16 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 1: And he is testing courage amongst ordinary Americans everywhere, whether 17 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: they be a woman patriot, whether they be a young 18 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: scientist at the National Institute of Health, or a veteran 19 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 1: foreign service officer who has put their lives into harm's 20 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: way many many times in the service of their country. 21 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: That is being treated with cruelty, with capricious indifference by 22 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: the richest man in the world and his lawless Silicon 23 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: Valley mob. Donald Trump is president. He has been elected 24 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: for a finite number of years with limited powers restrained 25 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: by the Constitution of the United States, which he has 26 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: sworn to protect. But we all know has already desecrated 27 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: that oath, as he desecrated it the first time he 28 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: took it. He has held out the possibility that he 29 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: will not follow court orders. His lieutenants have done the same. 30 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: His reckless demolition of the federal government will endanger American lives. 31 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: He arbitrarily and insanely and idiotically fired the hundreds of 32 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: federal workers who are specialists in handling nuclear weapons and 33 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: nuclear materials at the Department of Energy gone. He has 34 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: started to fire hundreds of air traffic controllers despite the 35 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: fact there have been four recent crashes. His borders are 36 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: has taken to routinely threatening everybody. 37 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 2: Alexandra Casio Cortez, Congresswoman, putting out a webinar doing a 38 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 2: webinar to help illegals avoid I guess apprehension, giving tips 39 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 2: about how to continue to remain in the country. And 40 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,279 Speaker 2: ultimately gain the system. 41 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 3: And I sent an email today to Deputy Attorney General. 42 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 3: At what level is that impediment? Is that impediment I'm 43 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,119 Speaker 3: not an attorney, I'm not a prosecutee. Is that impediment? 44 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 3: Is that impeding our law enforcement efforts? That's so what 45 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 3: are we going to do about it? Is she crossing 46 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 3: the line? So I'm working with the Department of Justice 47 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 3: and finding out where is that line that they crossed? 48 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 3: So maybe AOC is going to be in trouble now. 49 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: Congresswoman Alexandria Ocassio Cortaz could not be more correct when 50 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: she suggests that borders are Tom Homan learned to read. 51 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: He should and he should start with the US Constitution. 52 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: This is a moment when all over the world, mouths 53 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: are on the floor because they cannot believe what they 54 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: are witnessing, a takeover and assault on the ideas and 55 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: values of something. It is sublime, beautiful, ephemeral that has 56 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: existed for almost two hundred and fifty years in a 57 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:15,119 Speaker 1: state of constant evolution and expansion. Freedom. The United States 58 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: at the moment of its birth, was declared to be 59 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: by the Marquis de Lafayette, who is there a special 60 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: type of land. The Marquis said, at the moment the 61 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: British white flag could be seen, that humanity has its victory, 62 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: liberty has its country, and he predicted that one day 63 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: this new country of liberty would light the old world 64 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: and save it, which it did, which is why so 65 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: many of America's friends are disgusted and saddened, while a 66 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: new birth of extremism breaks out all over Europe, stoked 67 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: by an American vice president who amongst the shadows of 68 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: the murdered ghosts at Docou and then goes and meet 69 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: with the far right German politician who basks in the 70 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: cheers of the people who imitate the Nazi cheers and 71 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: slogans of eighty years ago in Germany. JD. Vance tells 72 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: the Germans time to move on, as the Patriot Front 73 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: marches in America, as the January sixth criminals have been released, 74 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: and as Elon Musk salutes extremism that much of the 75 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: right wing media tells the American people did not happen, 76 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 1: and that the critics who saw it and were repulsed 77 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: by it and who called it out are crazy. As 78 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 1: the lies roll on and on and build and build 79 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: and build. Each day Donald Trump makes more and more 80 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: extreme pronouncements. Each day. There are distractions while real dangers gather. 81 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: What is happening at the Department of Justice is a travesty. 82 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: It is an unethical assault on not just the Constitution, 83 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: but the very concept of the rule of law. One 84 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: of the four most conservative legal writers in the country, 85 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 1: with The National Review, Andrew McCarthy, has made a point 86 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: to call out this lawlessness. He has made the point 87 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: that the Department of Justice, which was founded in the 88 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,799 Speaker 1: eighteen seventies by President Grant to fight the Ku Klux Klan, 89 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: has become an instrument of retribution and revenge. It has 90 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: become a whip in the hand of a tyrant to 91 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 1: police dissent. The Justice Department has clearly cut a deal 92 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: with Mayor Adams Good and corrupt leader of New York City. 93 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: This has led two Republicans, federal prosecutors Miss Sassoon and 94 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: a former Chief Clerk to John Roberts, to resign. The 95 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: National media continues to demonstrate its fecklessness and its corruption 96 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: with its refusal to stand with the Associated Press. The 97 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: Associated Press has been barred from Air Force one and 98 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: has been barred from the oval office in a capricious 99 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: and unconstitutional act by Donald Trump because they refuse to 100 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: change the name of the four hundred year old Golf 101 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: of Mexico two the Gulf of America because the President 102 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: of the United States says so like a five year 103 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: old toddler from the old Richard Pryor ed Jackie Gleason movie. 104 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: The world does not run on the whims of the 105 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: presidential version of the toy the young spoiled child bossing 106 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: his servants about. There is no king in America. There 107 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: is no emperor, there is no dauphin, and there is 108 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: no dictator. The president is restrained by law by the Constitution, 109 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: and Donald Trump's encroachments against it must be opposed. And 110 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: yet when the national media has an opportunity to stand 111 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: for the First Amendment, they stand instead with the Daily 112 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: Caller and the Free Beacon Andan and the whack pack 113 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: of lunatic whack job nuts that Trump has congealed and 114 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: consolidated into a new White House press corps while excluding 115 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: the Associated Press. They stand with them and participate in 116 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: the daily follies. They stand with them and participate in 117 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: the reality show as opposed to drawing a hardline and 118 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: saying that our job is a serious job and a 119 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: serious business with a serious purpose. We are here to 120 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: hold power to account and to ask tough questions to 121 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: the most powerful person of the world. And we do 122 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: not accept being told what to write, what to say, 123 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: what to think by him, ever, because in America there 124 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: is a First Amendment. The problem is the White House 125 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,839 Speaker 1: Press Corps and the White House Press Pool has long 126 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 1: been in the propaganda business because they are in business 127 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: with Fox News. And so this was a partnership that 128 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: could not endure, that could not last. And so now 129 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: the New York Times and the Washington Post and all 130 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: of these supposed great pillars of journalism, including the Times, 131 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: which calls itself the paper of record, are on the 132 00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: side of Trump and Fox News and n again, it's 133 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: the associated press who is locked out for refusing to bend. 134 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: So long as you bend or don't object to the 135 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: stigmatization and the carting away, well maybe Donald Trump won't 136 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: come for you today. This is the definition of appeasement, 137 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: and it is immoral and it is dumb. It is 138 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: the philosophy that holds if I feed the crocodile, he 139 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: will eat me last. It is not a plan to survive, 140 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 1: It is a plan to be eaten last. This is 141 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: a difficult time in America. This is a time when 142 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: it seems as if no one is standing up, when 143 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: everyone is lying down. It's a tough time. All over 144 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 1: the world. People are watching in dismay as the United 145 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 1: States of America turns against what it said it has 146 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: always believed in. Donald Trump has issued a declaration of 147 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: repudiation against eighty years of American policy and wisdom and lessons. 148 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: Donald Trump says it's time to build a new history. 149 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: Donald Trump has declared a new beginning. Donald Trump has 150 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: said God has sent him to bring in America's golden age. 151 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 4: Just a few months ago in a beautiful Pennsylvania field, 152 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 4: and assassin's bullet ripped through my ear. But I felt then, 153 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 4: and believe even more so now that my life was 154 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 4: saved for a reason. I was saved by God to 155 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 4: make America great again. 156 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:49,559 Speaker 1: These are some of America's most dangerous days. The storm 157 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,679 Speaker 1: is still ahead, but it is coming soon. And we 158 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: all voted for it, well, forty nine point nine percent 159 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: of us did, and a lot of those people will suffer. 160 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: And it's two years before we get to make a 161 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: vote again. Until then, what happens is not entirely in 162 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's hands. We get to say. We get to 163 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: say through protests, through speech, We get to say through 164 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: direct action, through strikes, and through blockades and boycotts and 165 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: a hundred other methods to show our displeasure to the 166 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,439 Speaker 1: man and his best friend, the richest man in the world, 167 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 1: who want to be kings kings of America. And the 168 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: answer to that proposition must be as it has always 169 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,959 Speaker 1: been and forever will be, no not in this country. 170 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: This is the morning.
