Is this AI generated? 56 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: Is this my exposure to my first deep fake? But 57 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: it is real, and it's astonishing and incredibly Since Donald 58 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: Trump has been indicted on of thirty seven counts for 59 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: cavalierly sharing, storing, stealing some of the nation's most closely 60 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: guarded secrets, his poll numbers have only risen in the 61 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: Republican primary. He may be on his way to prison, 62 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: but he's also on his way to the Republican nomination. 63 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: What Donald Trump dead isn't just illegal, It is profoundly immoral. 64 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: It is the deepest type of betrayal. A nation must 65 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: have its secrets, it must be prepared for danger. Peace 66 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 1: is preserved through strength, and it is the American military 67 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: that must guard the United States of America under the 68 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: command of civilian authority and the President of the United States, 69 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 1: who assumes upon swim a thirty five word oath prescribed 70 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: in the Constitution that is the same one that George 71 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: Washington took the awesome privileges and responsibilities to be the 72 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: chief executive of the American Republic. There are many responsibilities 73 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: that come with the presidency. None are higher than the 74 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: duties of commander in chief of the nation's armed forces, 75 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 1: the protection of the nation, the security of the nation. 76 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 1: Donald Trump betrayed those responsibilities, and you hear him do 77 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: it like it's a radio play from the nineteen thirties, 78 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: complete with Dianingenoux flirting flummocks happy to be in the 79 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: presence of the boxes with all the nation's secrets in it. 80 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: It is as sickening a tape as any American we'll 81 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: ever hear. If that American is someone who loves their country, 82 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: someone who is a patriot, and who lives in reality. 83 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: Because in reality, America's peace and prosperity and tranquility, in 84 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: all of the good things are safeguarded by young Americans 85 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: who do dangerous work to keep all of us safe. 86 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: They are owed our respect, our thanks, our admiration, and 87 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: they deserve to have leaders who are responsible with the 88 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: most sensitive information. The government has should things go off 89 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: the rails, and the United States of America must ask 90 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: its sons and daughters to fight and die under the 91 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: American flag. This shameful man is once again had in 92 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: the polls seeking the Republican nomination. It is a national abomination. 93 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: It is evidence of deep rot in decay in our 94 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: land and in our society. All around us swirls idiocy, imbecility, 95 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: in insanity, and incredibly, it's become a billion dollar industry, 96 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: and the cost of that industry is going to be 97 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: paid by our children and their children, because we're going 98 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 1: to leave a country behind that is divided and dysfunctional 99 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: and broken, where even reality is hidden and unknown and 100 00:08:55,080 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: unseeable through the fog of lies. Only the most naive 101 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: amongst us doesn't understand the danger at hand. In both 102 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: the world and in our country. The events this weekend 103 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: in Russia are not over. They are still unfolding. If 104 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:35,199 Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin falls, there is not just a possibility, but 105 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: a probability that what follows him is worse, even more 106 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: extreme and insidious. We have fools leading this country in 107 00:09:53,120 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 1: positions of responsibility rave respond outsibility. Nowhere is that more 108 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: true than in today's Republican Party, the Party of Trump, 109 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 1: Party of Maga, Party of the Patriot Front, Party of 110 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: the Proud Boys, Party of the Oath Keepers, the Party 111 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: of the conspiracy Theorists, the Party of the Anti Semi 112 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Green and Lauren Bobert and mac Gates, and 113 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: on and on and on. They lie, they divide, and 114 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: they steal with impunity from you. Why because it's tolerated. 115 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: Because what Donald Trump understands and what his acolytes understand, 116 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: is that they will never be in the majority. But 117 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: they are a big enough minority that if they can 118 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: team up and merge with indifference and apathy, then they 119 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: have enough to take power and control. And that power 120 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:48,559 Speaker 1: and control will extend into every aspect of every American's life. 121 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: It will be to any American that is different that 122 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,559 Speaker 1: can be painted as less than. The danger is it 123 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: escape when far right regimes rise to power, and make 124 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:14,599 Speaker 1: no mistake, when Nazis fly their flag in the playlight 125 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: of day in the state of Georgia on a sunny 126 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon while Jews worship, none of us are safe. 127 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: And that is the point of the Trump tapes. He 128 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 1: has placed this country and all of us in the 129 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:49,679 Speaker 1: gravest type of danger. He weakened us, He divided us, 130 00:12:51,000 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: a disordered, sick personality with visions of grandeur dancing in 131 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: his brain, a man who wanted North Korean style military 132 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: parades at his inaugural as a celebration of his power, 133 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: not his privilege. When the lowest people in a great 134 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: nation take charge of the nation's destiny, they will steer 135 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 1: it towards oblivion, into the gloom, the night, the dark. 136 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: And we are aboard that ship. We are all passengers 137 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: on a proverbial titan circling the depths above the Titanic. 138 00:13:55,280 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 1: Having forgotten every lesson that she taught, that history teaches 139 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:12,319 Speaker 1: about what happens when people remain silent against despotism and dishonesty, 140 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: and distigmatizing and scapegoating of minorities. The lessons are clear. 141 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: The danger is at hand. The tapes are the evidence. 142 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is a menace to the security of this 143 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: country like no person who has lived since Charles Lindberg, 144 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: Robert Lee, and Jefferson Davis. It's as simple as that. 145 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: His cadre of sycophants, some of whom can be heard 146 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: laughing on the. 147 00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 3: Tape, or an assemblage of cowardice, opportunism, extremism that should 148 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 3: be taken very, very seriously. Nearly a decade has passed 149 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 3: since Donald Trump began to insinuate himself into the affairs 150 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 3: of the nation. It began to try on. 151 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: Politics for size. Look where it has taken us. The 152 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: American people have a choice. The American justice system has 153 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: a crisis, just like the entire system of American government, 154 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: just like the totality of the American media, just like 155 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: the whole of American business. Things are falling apart, and 156 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: it is best to recognize it before what is crumbling 157 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: turns completely to dust.
