1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,960 Speaker 1: It is Monday, the twenty fifth of August, and the 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: curfew in Washington, d C, the capital of the Home 3 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,760 Speaker 1: of the Free and the land of the brave, is 4 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: eleven pm. 5 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 2: This is the warning. 6 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,640 Speaker 1: It does reason to ask what happens if you want 7 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,080 Speaker 1: to be out after eleven pm, Like if you wanted 8 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,919 Speaker 1: to walk your dog, or even God forbid, get a 9 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: slice of pizza or even a beer. No, Donald Trump 10 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 1: and Pete Hagsath and Christy Nome and Cash Patel don't approve, 11 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: and so they have to creed that no American shall 12 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 1: go outside after eleven pm so that we can be 13 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: great again and Washington can be crime free. Which again 14 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: I bring it back, but what if you want a 15 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: slice of pizza? 16 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 3: I'm very concerned about that, And not only that, I'm 17 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 3: concerned about the way he is rolling that out in Washington, 18 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 3: d C, which is essentially called essentially going after young 19 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 3: black and brown youth in Washington, d C. Imposing a curfew, 20 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 3: saying that if they violate the curfew, the parents could 21 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 3: be charged five hundred dollars, saying that the kids could 22 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,479 Speaker 3: be detained and arrested. We've tried those policies before, they 23 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 3: do not work. And it's my understanding that crime was 24 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 3: going down in Washington, DC. 25 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 2: So what is the purpose of this. Here's the deal. 26 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: What Donald Trump is offering, like all Trump deals, is 27 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: premised on a titanic lie that was understood as such 28 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: all the way back at the beginning, when Benjamin Franklin 29 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: warned that any people who would give up a little 30 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,839 Speaker 1: bit of liberty for some security deserve neither. And so 31 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: this is what the blanket of federal security looks like. 32 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: Tanks at the train station checkpoints, on the main drags. 33 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: The soldiers are armed against the people who they come from. 34 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: They are carrying weapons of war in America's cities, and 35 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: Donald his sick ephans, his corrupt minions, having seen the 36 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: success or, preparing to do it in Chicago and in Baltimore. 37 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 2: Except this time. 38 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: He won't be operating in a federal district, without a governor, 39 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: without United States senators. He'll be doing it within America's states. 40 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: And remember it is the states who created the Union. 41 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 1: Now is state, under the Second Amendment has the right 42 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: to maintain a well regulated militia. 43 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,799 Speaker 2: And with Donald Trump, who's. 44 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: Threatening to do is to suspend that Second Amendment right. 45 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: Along with fundamentally the Fourth Amendment, the First Amendment, the 46 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: Eighth Amendment, and the fourteenth Amendments. It's very troubling and 47 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: people have a right to be frightened because Trump is 48 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: about to federalize National Guard troops in states and turn 49 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: them against the people, and or worse, to take national 50 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: Guard federalized from MAGA states donated and send them as 51 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: occupying forces into democratic led states, which is, in this 52 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: digital age, a type of digital fort sumter, although the 53 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: guns are real, the bullets are real, and the federal 54 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: occupation is real, and all of it built on the 55 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: architecture of what Joseph Goebbels called the big lie and 56 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: his observation that the bigger the lie, the more apt 57 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: people are to believe it. 58 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 4: They don't acknowledge it, and they say, we don't need them. 59 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 2: Freedom. Freedom. 60 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 4: He's a dictator. He's a dictator. A lot of people 61 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 4: are saying, maybe we like a dictator. I don't like 62 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 4: a dictator. I'm not a dictator. I'm a man with 63 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 4: great common sense and I'm a smart person. 64 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 2: And so here we are. 65 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: Washington stands under a military occupation upon the order of 66 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, based on the delusions and the. 67 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 2: Lies of Donald Trump. 68 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: Now, a Fox News viewer may believe the lives of 69 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: Fox News. They may believe that Portland, Oregon was burned 70 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: to the ground several years ago, but that. 71 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 2: Does not make it so, does not make it real. 72 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: And the authority and the abuses of power, the abuses 73 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: of office, that the American people are witnessing, should be 74 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: understood always as a prelude of what can be done 75 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: to you. Speak out against Trump, you get audited, speak 76 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: out against Stephen Miller, what pulled out of the customs line? 77 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: If you try to come back into the country. Everywhere, 78 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 1: it seems there's a new type of law and order 79 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 1: where so long as you're powerful, you can take as 80 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: you please, please and do as you want to whomever 81 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 1: you please, so long as you love Trump. 82 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 2: Enough? 83 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: Is that what the rule of law means, the rule 84 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: of Trump. That in order to start a business, to 85 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: get a bank loan, to open an account, you have 86 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 1: to have the right politics. 87 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 2: You have to have the right thoughts in your head. 88 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: You have to have the right beliefs, the right religion, 89 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: the right faith. 90 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 5: We don't take an oath to a country, don't take 91 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 5: an oath to a tribe. Don't take an oath to 92 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 5: a religion. But don't take an oath to a king 93 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 5: or a queen, or retiring or dictators. We don't take 94 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 5: an oath to a wany dictator. We don't take an 95 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 5: oath to an individual.

Do you have tot it as America? 97 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 5: Or who we're willing to die to protect it? 98 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: How long will it be before we see the first maggot? 99 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: Congressmen suggest that for our security and to clear things up, 100 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: those men with guns and those men with masks ought 101 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: to be taking an oath to the man whose name 102 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: is embossed in gold on the back of their vehicles. 103 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, they're mad, King. Look and read these posts, 104 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: these musics, these fulminations, vituperations. 105 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 2: What are they? How do you judge them? They are insane. 106 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 1: Look at his swollen ankles, his failing heart, unable to 107 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 1: pump the blood efficiently throughout his corpulent and decaying body. 108 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 2: Look at the makeup on the hands. 109 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: Look at the oval office, and look at the plan 110 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: for this ballroom and his patio where he walked out 111 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: and tested the new sound system at the People's House. 112 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 1: After recently daring, as any great leader might answer some 113 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: questions from the rooftop, a blanket of insanity, of authoritarianism 114 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 1: with a uniquely americanized absurdist face is descending. And there 115 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: is no part of the American mountain upon which the 116 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: snow will ultimately not fall. And before it's too late, 117 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: it would be best to wake up to that reality. 118 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: Something is being stolen from all of us right now. 119 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: It's being taken by men with malice in their hearts 120 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: and faithlessness towards the United States. What an awful era 121 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: won't low men and women. But there is no lower 122 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: American than that which will not stand up and fight 123 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: back against this the wrongs being committed and plain sight 124 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: rise up against it, stand up against it.
