1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,880 Speaker 1: It is Monday, April twenty first, and the American crisis 2 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: rages on. This is the warning. These are the words 3 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 1: from America's sick and demented commander in chief, on the 4 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: day the world's Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 5 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,439 Speaker 1: a messenger of peace that they believe is the Son 6 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: of God. Even during his twelve year reign, Adolph Hitler 7 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 1: never once released anything so sick as this on Easter Sunday. 8 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: It is a harbinger of catastrophe. It should surprise nobody 9 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:46,840 Speaker 1: that Pete Hegsath is a moral disaster, a policy disaster, 10 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: and a pile of incompetent dogshit piled higher than the 11 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: fallen World Trade Center. His reign at the Pentagon is 12 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: a national disgrace, and it's a danger to every private, 13 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: every corporal, every enlisted sergeant in the Marine Corps, in 14 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: the Army, across all of our uniformed services. There has 15 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: never been a defense chief appointed by a disgraceful commander 16 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: in chief as unfit as Pete Hegseth, who once again 17 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:30,559 Speaker 1: has shared military operational plans combat actions on unclassified emails 18 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 1: with family members, including his third wife, The former Fox 19 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: News producer. Truly, there are no words except for the 20 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: Republican maga. Senators will go on television and say we 21 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: trust Trump, if Trump trusts Pete hegseth, Hail Trump, Hail Musk. 22 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: If it's raining outside and Donald says it's sonny, it's sonny. 23 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what's real anymore. It doesn't matter what's 24 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: up or down, or red or blue, or left or right. 25 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: None of that matters for these sheep. All the matters 26 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: is being told what to obey, and they will. They 27 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: care nothing for their country. They care nothing for its ideas, 28 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: nothing for its ideals. They are assaulting it. The desecrations 29 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: raged this weekend. What a sick moment in the Vatican 30 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 1: when the eighty seven year old pontiff makes a hostage 31 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: video with the American fascist JD. Vance. 32 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 2: I know you've not been feeling great, but it's good 33 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 2: to see you and get health. That's something. 34 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: The fascists have come to the Vatican before. It was 35 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: most surprising to see the Holy Father greet one. At 36 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: least he sent his number two to deliver a lecture 37 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: on compassion. Donald Trump sat in the Oval Office and 38 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: showed the American people a doctor photograph of a Maryland 39 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: father who's in an El Salvador and gulag while the 40 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 1: El Salvadoran dictator taunted the American people, taunted the American constitution. 41 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: All of this happening, while, of course, Donald Trump's peace 42 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: plans in Ukraine are a joke, his negotiations with Iran 43 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: making the world more dangerous, all of his promises falling apart, 44 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: America growing weaker, and the economy crashing. Ninety days of 45 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: Donald Trump has transformed America. We now have a daily 46 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: Reichstag fire, and within that fire, within that flames comes 47 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: the argument that some of us saw coming for a 48 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: very long time, which is this, the emergency is so 49 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: great we must abandon the constitution. We must depend in 50 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: the idea of a jury trial, or a due process, 51 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: or the notion that somebody gets to stand in front 52 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: of a judge and the government must lay out evidence. No, 53 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: the emergency is too great, and King Donald needs the 54 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: power to fix it. In this the two hundred and 55 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: fiftieth anniversary year of the birth of the United States, 56 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: The saddest thing about all of this is reading the 57 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: stories about the abused people who voted for this monster. 58 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: People in West Virginia, sitting in some of the poorest 59 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: places in the country, being abused by Robert Kennedy, being 60 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: abused by the lies, being abused by Trump's insanity, and 61 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: what little they have will all be gone by the 62 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 1: time the sense, and they will suffer the most. Like always, 63 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 1: the people closest to Trump, the ones that trusted them, 64 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: are always the ones that are screwed in all dealings 65 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: with this silly, vain, toxic, narcissistic man that forty nine 66 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 1: point nine percent of the American voters yoke this nation too. 67 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: And what Donald Trump is doing is poisoning the cornerstones 68 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: of our society. He's attacking the universities because fascists attack 69 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 1: the places where independent thinkers and writers gather. He's attacking 70 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: the artists because fascist attack art they don't like. They 71 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: call it degenerate. That was the name the Nazis used 72 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 1: and made no mistake. Donald Trump is a Nazi. And 73 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: if you don't understand that, well you just need to 74 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: read more about the Nazis, because his Eastern message is 75 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: a message from a Nazi. Donald Trump is attacking descent. 76 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is attacking his opponents. He's threatening to jail them. 77 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 1: He claims the right to open concentration camps in foreign 78 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 1: countries to send Americans there, and he is backed up 79 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: by US snarling, sneering menacing cabinet of idiots and fools. 80 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,799 Speaker 1: Christy Nome is a mental patient, and so is PAM Bonding, 81 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: and so is cash catality, and so are all of 82 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: these people, and their miseries together will compound, and it 83 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: will come for all of us. Have no doubt about that. 84 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: Democratic Party is the second biggest political party in the country, 85 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: the opposition party. We don't have a third party in America, 86 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: not yet, but we may well need one before all 87 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: of this is through, to stand up and fight. We 88 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: have governors who hide behind folders, we have incoherent former 89 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: VP nominees, we have gatify governors in California, and we 90 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: have few straight talkers in leadership anywhere. But all hope 91 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: is not lost. I interviewed Congressman Jake Auchincloss. He has 92 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: it together. Somebody should explain to me why the person 93 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: who gave this answer is in a top tier presidential 94 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: candidate on the list of mostly celebrities and mostly people 95 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: who got in line with the great gas lighting of 96 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. 97 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 2: Freedom in the United States means that if your feet 98 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 2: are on American soil, you get to stand in front 99 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 2: of a judge on an equal basis to the awesome 100 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 2: power of the state and put forward the facts of 101 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 2: the matter and trust in the impartial application of the law. 102 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: That is freedom. 103 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 2: And President Trump is attacking the freedom of this man. 104 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 2: And now he is promising to do it for American citizens. 105 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 2: He calls it homegrown. Another word for that is citizen. 106 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 2: He is threatening to do that for American citizens. Next, 107 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 2: this is all of our problem. 108 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: This next month of May is going to be a 109 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: brutally and excruciatingly difficult one in America. It will preface 110 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: the first summer of Trump's second term, which will be 111 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: a summer of cast and protest as he stokes and 112 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: incites violence all across the country. What's going to happen 113 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: is terrible because the American people let the wolf through 114 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: the gate, and now that wolf is at the door, 115 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: and he's claiming things that he has no right to claim, 116 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: and he's set to use power that he has no 117 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: right to use. And when he does, one of the 118 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: greatest challenges, greatest contests and greatest crises in the history 119 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: of the United States will be fully underway. It will 120 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: be the result of an act of attempted suicide by 121 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: the lot of us. Eighty years after our grandparents saved 122 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: the world within living memory of the Death Camps, the 123 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: United States has become unmoored. The United States elected a demagogue, 124 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: a liar, a con man, a fraud. They elected an 125 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: evil man. And soon I will be coming back to 126 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: the United States. And I want Donald Trump to know 127 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: directly from me. I want it as regime to know 128 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: that when I cross the border of my country, I 129 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: will cross it with the deepest contempt in my heart 130 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: for him. And the ideas that I hold in my 131 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: head and in my conscience will be those of liberty. 132 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,079 Speaker 1: They will be those that hold that all of us 133 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: are created equal and endowed by a creator with inalienable rights, 134 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: among them life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, And 135 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: that we bow to no king, and that Donald Trump 136 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,559 Speaker 1: is certainly not one, and that his cabinet of fools 137 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:51,559 Speaker 1: and criminals and self interested whack jobs is the greatest 138 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: desecration to descend on the United States in its entire history. 139 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: He has assembled a team of scumbags without compare, and 140 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: I dare you to impede my crossing back into the 141 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: United States and question me about my antipathy for the scumbag. 142 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: Every one of you, sons of bitches, would get down 143 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,839 Speaker 1: on your knees and lick his boots if he told 144 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: you so, which is about as un American a thing 145 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: as a person could do.
