1
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: The Republican presidential field is winnowing. Vice President Mike Pence

2
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: recently dropped out, and yesterday South Carolina Senator Tim Scott

3
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 1: was the latest casualty. Tim Scott has said it's not

4
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: his time, and Tim Scott is correct. It wasn't his time.

5
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: He lacked the forcefulness, the ability to speak extemporaneously, but

6
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: more importantly, the clear convictions necessary to be the president

7
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: that follows and ends the Trump Era, which has dominated

8
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: American life for the last seven years. Despite the fact

9
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: that President Biden has been in the Oval office for

10
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: three years, the simple truth is Donald Trump remains the

11
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: dominant figure in American life. There can be no dispute

12
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: about that, no debate about that. He is at the

13
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: locusts of a billion dollar Trump industrial complex. He has

14
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: covered ubiquitously by the news media. The profits off of him.

15
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: He is at the center of a billion dollar grift

16
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: of small dollar fundraising and telemarketing cons and all around

17
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: him are groups like the Lincoln Project that need Donald

18
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: Trump to survive. Without Donald Trump, grifters like Rick Wilson

19
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: and Ree Galen wouldn't be able to pocket ninety three

20
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: cents of every dollar they raise from old ladies and

21
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:49,919
Speaker 1: pensioners who think they're helping democracy. Nothing is on the level.

22
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: It's all a scam, and that's what voters see. It's

23
00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: why they have no trust, no faith, no belief in

24
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: so many important institutions. Over and over again, they've been

25
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: lied to and let down. The Republican Party has turned

26
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: hostile to the precepts of American democracy. And you can

27
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: see this on the debate stage with all of the

28
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: candidates that are remaining. Let's go through them, but first

29
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: let's talk about the main difference between them, because there

30
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: is a profound one. Every single candidate who was on

31
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: a Republican debate stage this year is deeply flawed. Every

32
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: single one of them subordinated their good sense, their common sense,

33
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: their decency for the purposes of trying to attain political

34
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: power by getting behind the worst person and the biggest

35
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: threat to the American constitution since the Confederate States of America.

36
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: Chris Christie stood behind Donald Trump as the first major

37
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: credible presidential candidate who left the race in twenty sixteen.

38
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: You stood there like a Stepford wife gazing at Donald Trump.

39
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: And so these many years later that Chris Christie is right,

40
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: does not immunize him from that central fact, but put

41
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: Chris Christie aside because Chris Christy is materially different than

42
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: Nicky Haley and every other Republican on that stage. Mike Pence,

43
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: along with Nicky Haley, along with Vivak Ramaswami, in fact,

44
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: along with every single candidate on the stage, raised their

45
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: hands with and they were asked a question by Brett Bher.

46
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: The question was a simple one. Would they continue to

47
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: support Donald Trump no matter what, even if he was

48
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: convicted of multiple felonies. Remember who's asking the question here,

49
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: Brett Bher, the Fox News anchor. Terrified of his audience,

50
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: he did not want to tell them on election night

51
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: the truth that Joe Biden had won the election and

52
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump was defeated. But nevertheless, years after the

53
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: insurrection that Trump incited, the question is asked, and let's

54
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: watch the response. If former President Trump is convicted in

55
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: a court of law, would you still support him as

56
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: your party's choice? Please raise your hand if you would,

57
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: Every single person blindly, with the exception of Asa Hutchinson

58
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: and Chris Christie, raises their hand. They will be with

59
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: Trump forever, including presumably Mike Pence, the man Trump tried

60
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 1: to hang. The biggest difference between Nicky Haley and Chris

61
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: Christie in this moment is the most obvious one. Chris

62
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: Christie is broken free from Donald Trump. The bonds of

63
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: attachment are gone. But Donald Trump still owns Nicky Haley.

64
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:42,119
Speaker 1: She hasn't repudiated that her hand remains in the air.

65
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: How can a person say, I have the judgment, the wisdom,

66
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: and the experience to be the commander in chief of

67
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: the most potent military and world history, in command the

68
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: world's largest and deadliest nuclear arsenal, But I'm still for

69
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, a man who invoked the rhetorican language of

70
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: Hitler and Mussolini. This weekend, he called his political opponents vermin.

71
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: He's dehumanizing his fellow American citizens. He has plans to

72
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: build massive concentration camps, deportation camps, where millions and millions

73
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: and millions of people will be arrested off of the

74
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: streets and herded into them. Does that sound like America

75
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: to you? Are you concerned at all that Donald Trump

76
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: is talking about locking up his political opponents, imprisoning them

77
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: because Mike Pence, he doesn't seem to be concerned. Mike

78
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: Pence hasn't put his hand down yet either, and of

79
00:06:53,600 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: course neither has the demagogic vivek Ramaswami, paper thin, ignorant, dangerous,

80
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: utterly fraudulent. Each of these candidates is auditioning for a

81
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: role in the next Trump Show, which will be the

82
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: last show in America, because Donald Trump is made clear

83
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: the destruction of the American Republic is necessary for him

84
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: to achieve his vengeance. For him to achieve his revenge,

85
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: He's coming. He's saying the quiet part out loud. And

86
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: here's the scary truth. If the election were tomorrow, Donald

87
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: Trump would be elected forty seventh President of the United States.

88
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: Where is the White House this weekend? Where is the

89
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: response to Donald Trump calling his fellow Americans vermin? What

90
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: do you do to vermin? You exterminate them? You literally

91
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: call an exterminator. It's what Hitler called the Jews vermin, rats, subhumans,

92
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: and then he went on to murder six million of

93
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: them and five million others, all the subhumans, all the vermin.

94
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: This language is a moral outrage in the United States

95
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: in the twenty first century. It is unacceptable, and that

96
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: it is coming from a former president of the United

97
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: States and indicted in an accused felon a man who

98
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: is a candidate is appalling. It's dangerous, and it should

99
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: be the occasion for a five alarm fire across every

100
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: corner of this country. That he said it on Veterans

101
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 1: Day is a further abomination. The American soldier takes an

102
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 1: oath to the constance Cution of the United States. One

103
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: million Americans from the Greens election can and conquered at

104
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 1: the first instance of revolution, from Gettysburg to Normandy, to

105
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: San Juan Hill, to the Argonne to pork Chop Hill,

106
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: into play Coup, to Fallujah and Baghdad, one million Americans

107
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 1: through the generations have given what Lincoln called the last

108
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: full measure of devotion to an idea and to an

109
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: ideal that Donald Trump is trying to burn down. You

110
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: have a responsibility to stop it. You are an American citizen,

111
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: and thus you have an obligation to participate and to

112
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: stop it. You are an American, and as such you

113
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: are obligated to stand with your brothers and sisters of

114
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: all races, of all creeds, of all nationalities, and to

115
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: say no, we are Americans, and we will not permit this.

116
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: We will not permit our inheritance to be stolen. We

117
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: are trustees of an experiment that will endure. It will

118
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: be handed to our children and to our grandchildren, stronger,

119
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 1: more adorable, and more resilient than the democracy we were

120
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: born into. This must be all of our pledges. It

121
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 1: is not a partisan statement. It is an American one.

122
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: It is a necessary one because our country is under

123
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: threat from within. A domestic enemy has arisen, and he

124
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: should not be underestimated. He is coming for all of us.

125
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: It's time to wake up. America is in great danger.

126
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 1: We are in a grave crisis. Heed these words from

127
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. They should be taken literally and seriously. It

128
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: is urgent to understand them and appreciate their context. These

129
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: words are a matter of life and death. In the

130
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: third decade of the twenty first century, every young person

131
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 1: in America must know what this is. What it is

132
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: is Hitlerism. What it is is death, warning that it's

133
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: at the door and it's coming. Political violence, chaos in

134
00:11:54,920 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: our cities, the American military being deployed against American civilians,

135
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 1: a constitutional crisis that will tip America to the edge

136
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 1: of civil war, if not beyond the edge. What is

137
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: coming is the greatest test of the last one hundred

138
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: and fifty years, and the American people, by and large

139
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: are not ready for it. America's corrupted power class is

140
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: not ready for it. America's corrupt media class is not

141
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: ready for it. But nevertheless, it is coming. Let me

142
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: read these words by Donald Trump. Heed them in honor

143
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: of our great veterans on Veterans Day. We pledge to

144
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: you that we will root out the communists, Marxist fascists,

145
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: and radical left thugs like vermin within the confines of

146
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: our country. Lie, steal and cheat on elections, and will

147
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: do anything possible, whether legally or illegally, to destroy America

148
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: and the American dream. The threat from outside forces is

149
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: far less sinister, dangerous, and grave than the threat from within.

150
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: Despite the hatred and anger of the radical left lunatics

151
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:38,599
Speaker 1: who want to destroy our country, we will make America

152
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: great again. These words are harbinger of death. The word

153
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: vermin is purposeful. It's Nazi language. It's the language of dehumanization.

154
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: What do you do to vermin? Exterminate them? Vermin aren't human,

155
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: They're not even animals. They deserve nothing but death and erasure.

156
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: And that's what Donald Trump is saying about his political opponents.

157
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: That's what Donald Trump is saying to the American people.

158
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: He is promising to give them concentration camps and fill

159
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: them with millions and millions of people of black and

160
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: brown skin, to deport them. Can you imagine a million

161
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: travesties like Elian Gonzalez playing out night after night, twenty

162
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: four hours a day, seven days a week, three hundred

163
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: and sixty five days a year, as the camps start

164
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: to overflow, as the camps become humanitarian crises in and

165
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: of themselves, As the camps become a national stain, a

166
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: mark of dishonor and hipocris, as the American Republican democracy

167
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: melts away, in the world weeps. It's all at hand now.

168
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is promising to imprison his political opponents. Donald

169
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: Trump is promising revenge and vengeance on all who dared

170
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: to oppose him. Donald Trump is promising to unleash a

171
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: pre vetted army of followers of yes men and women,

172
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: to storm into the American government and to remake it,

173
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: to strip it bear, to end the rule of law,

174
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: to remake America in the image of its new leader,

175
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, an American dictator, an authoritarian who will pull

176
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: the United States from the most important security organization in

177
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: world history NATO and will try to do deals with

178
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: Russia and China to carve up the world. The only

179
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: answer to this is better. We must get out of

180
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: this place, and the only way to get out of

181
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: it is to break free of it. Break free of

182
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: the gravity of it, the hypocrisy of it, the meanness

183
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: of it, the callousness of it all, and the utter, utter, fantastical,

184
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: delusional detachment from reality that plays out moment to moment

185
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: across the American media. The divisions in our society must

186
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: be addressed, not fueled. Eighty three year old Jim Clyburn

187
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: of South Carolina said something that is being treated as

188
00:16:55,240 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: a moral statement by corrupt media, when in fact it

189
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 1: is as divisive a statement as has been said in

190
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. It is worthy of this Maga moment.

191
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: We're representative, Cliburn said, was this talking to a white

192
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: voter in New Hampshire disrespects a black voter in South Carolina.

193
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 1: This is deeply and profoundly wrong, as has been pointed out.

194
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: But let me elaborate if you go to the New

195
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: Hampshire State Capitol. Surrounding the rotunda on the bottom floor

196
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: cases of battle flags. Some of those cases haven't been

197
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 1: opened since nineteen seventeen. In one of those cases are

198
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: the regimental battle colors of a New Hampshire regiment that

199
00:17:55,320 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 1: followed into battle the men of the fifty fourth Massachusetts

200
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,719
Speaker 1: at the Second Battle of Fort Wagner in South Carolina.

201
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: The charge of the fifty fourth Massachusetts into the Confederate

202
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: guns on that day was a historic occasion. Its legacy

203
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: belongs to all Americans. It should be known to all Americans,

204
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: and it should be celebrated by all Americans. Frederick Douglas

205
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: had two sons in the fifty fourth Massachusetts. Its white

206
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: officers who led the black men into battle were thrown

207
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 1: into a mass grave with them buried with them as

208
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: they died for their freedom in a desperate charge in

209
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 1: a desperate hour. The fifty fourth Massachusetts was raised by

210
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: the United States Army as the first black regiment that

211
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: would fight for freedom. It would fight the Confederacy. They

212
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: became legends, and behind them came the New Hampshire men

213
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: who came to South Carolina to fight for the freedom

214
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: of their fellow man. We are all connected as Americans

215
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 1: to each other through the centuries. There is a great

216
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: profit of moral truth in our rancid age who left

217
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: us only recently. That, of course, is the great John Lewis.

218
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: John Lewis crossed the Edmund Pattis Bridge defenseless, It was

219
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: nearly beaten to death. With each baton blow, John Lewis

220
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: reinforced the dignity of the human being. He showed through

221
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: his dignity and courage that black men and women were

222
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: human beings and deserving of the protections afforded to all

223
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: citizens by the United States constitutions, because, like all people,

224
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: they're made in God's image. John Lewis said, no matter

225
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 1: what vote our ancestors came in, we're all in the

226
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: same boat. Now, Isn't that the truth? There are so

227
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: many Democrats in Washington, DC that are enraged at the

228
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: American voter for daring to assert they don't want the

229
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: eighty two year old president to run for reelection and

230
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: they want to see generational change from men like eighty

231
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: three year old Jim Clyburn. The evidence the necessity of

232
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: his retirement is clear by the obnoxiousness of statements that

233
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: infer talking to one group of Americans disrespects another, as

234
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,479
Speaker 1: if talking to an Arab American, as Congressman Phillips pointed

235
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: out in Michigan, disrespects a Jewish American in New York,

236
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: or disrespects a Native American in Oklahoma. This is all nonsense, insanity,

237
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:39,719
Speaker 1: division foisted, pushed on the American people in a cold

238
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: civil war, ignited, kindled and spread by our politicians in

239
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 1: toxic media. Over and over and over again. The American

240
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: people try to say something, they try to be heard,

241
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: they try to be listened to. But it's impossible, isn't it,

242
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: Because no one will listen, no one will hear. Instead,

243
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: it's the most powerful people in the country who are

244
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: perpetually cast as victims, victims of the American people, who

245
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 1: are dissatisfied with their mighty achievements and ungrateful for the

246
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 1: world we live in, with all of its bounties and

247
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: all the blessings afforded to us by the achievements of

248
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: this Congress. That is truly a delusion, And yet that

249
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 1: delusion is conventional wisdom inside the DNC, inside the White House,

250
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: and across the media establishment. The question at hand in

251
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: American life is who is on your side. It's definitely

252
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: not Donald Trump, and it's absolutely not an eighty three

253
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 1: year old congressman who says, if you talk to a

254
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 1: black voter in South Carolina, you're disrespecting an Arab American

255
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: voter in Michigan, or a Jewish American voter in Florida,

256
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,360
Speaker 1: or a white voter in New Hampshire. Aren't we all

257
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: Americans in the ends,
