WEBVTT - Trump says he will be a "dictator on day one", Elon allows Alex Jones back on X, MAGA attempts to pull out of Ukraine

0:00:03.080 --> 0:00:07.120
<v Speaker 1>When Donald Trump attacked the media while appearing on the

0:00:07.160 --> 0:00:11.600
<v Speaker 1>set of a Sean Hannity hosted town hall, the Fox

0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:18.920
<v Speaker 1>curated crowd went nuts. They cheered, stomped their feet, laughed

0:00:19.239 --> 0:00:25.400
<v Speaker 1>and clapped. What were they cheering for? What exactly is

0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:32.599
<v Speaker 1>it that they are against? What do they oppose? What

0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:38.600
<v Speaker 1>is the media? One way to think about it isn't

0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:47.239
<v Speaker 1>through an ideological prism, but as a roaring rabbid. Anything

0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 1>that falls into it is swept away, taken by the river,

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:58.920
<v Speaker 1>immediately swallowed by the churn, and it's gone. It erases

0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:06.000
<v Speaker 1>everything that is tossed into it by taking it away, disappearing.

0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:12.360
<v Speaker 1>It isn't that how much of the American media functions today.

0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:18.640
<v Speaker 1>It runs like a children's soccer team and mass towards

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:23.360
<v Speaker 1>one event, say the war in Ukraine, and then runs away,

0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:28.319
<v Speaker 1>just as fast, careening towards another. So on one day,

0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump talks about building concentration camps, and then poof,

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:38.080
<v Speaker 1>it's gone from the conversation. And the next day he

0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:43.480
<v Speaker 1>talks about arresting political opponents, and then poof, it's gone

0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:50.640
<v Speaker 1>from the conversation. It's as if each day is a new, disconnected,

0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 1>siloed reality television episode. In one moment, Meatloaf and Little

0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:02.160
<v Speaker 1>John can be great friends and in the next the

0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:07.440
<v Speaker 1>most bitter of enemies, but nothing occurs between the two

0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 1>to explain what happened and why what changed? Isn't that

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:18.399
<v Speaker 1>what the media is. It is the projection of disconnected events,

0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:25.520
<v Speaker 1>chosen for their momentary ability to sensationalize, to get clicks,

0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 1>to entice, to draw people in and keep them from

0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:37.679
<v Speaker 1>looking away. And there has been no star greater in

0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:45.000
<v Speaker 1>this era than a con man, a hustler, a wanna

0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:50.640
<v Speaker 1>be dictator named Donald Trump, who very narrowly took the

0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:56.160
<v Speaker 1>presidency in two thousand and sixteen and then was defeated

0:02:56.760 --> 0:03:04.160
<v Speaker 1>by Joe Biden in twenty twenty. Well, let's understand Donald

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:10.160
<v Speaker 1>Trump's aspiration to be a dictator and broaden it out

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:19.840
<v Speaker 1>just a bit. Donald Trump became the first person running

0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:25.080
<v Speaker 1>for president of the United States as an incumbent president

0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 1>or as a challenger from either of the major parties

0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:38.440
<v Speaker 1>who refused to concede an election and to acknowledge the

0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:47.240
<v Speaker 1>will of the sovereign. Even during Civil War, Abraham Lincoln

0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:53.120
<v Speaker 1>understood that if the people chose to remove him from power,

0:03:54.200 --> 0:04:01.280
<v Speaker 1>then he would go as did Franklin Roosevelt. Every president,

0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:08.600
<v Speaker 1>even the presidents, in the midst of our most important

0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:19.320
<v Speaker 1>a dangerous crises understood, the sovereign will decide who is

0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:29.480
<v Speaker 1>given temporary legal authority, with plenty of restraints imposed upon them,

0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:34.680
<v Speaker 1>to make the laws, interpret the laws, or to execute

0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:43.760
<v Speaker 1>the laws. The achievements of our ancestors are extraordinary. They

0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:50.840
<v Speaker 1>have given us the oldest republic in the world, and

0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:56.600
<v Speaker 1>we as a people, many of us have become indifferent

0:04:56.640 --> 0:05:02.039
<v Speaker 1>to it. But we should not be indifferent to the

0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:09.400
<v Speaker 1>magnitude of the breach of faith and Americanism in the

0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:14.760
<v Speaker 1>betrayal of the United States, which we should all hold

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:20.680
<v Speaker 1>in our parts with the deepest contempt for the people

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:28.560
<v Speaker 1>who did it. They must never ever hold political power

0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:34.720
<v Speaker 1>again in this country, in any form and in any combination.

0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:41.680
<v Speaker 1>And what that means is that we, the people of

0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:50.440
<v Speaker 1>all different faiths and political beliefs, and ethnicities and identities,

0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:59.040
<v Speaker 1>must come together under the most important umbrella of identity

0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:06.239
<v Speaker 1>that we all share. We are Americans. There have only

0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:11.880
<v Speaker 1>ever been in all the history of the world slightly

0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:17.880
<v Speaker 1>more than six hundred million of us were the half

0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:24.720
<v Speaker 1>of the Americans who have ever lived are alive. Right now.

0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:33.599
<v Speaker 1>Our story is unfolding, and once again a generation of

0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:38.839
<v Speaker 1>Americans has a rendezvous with destiny, has an assignment to

0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:46.040
<v Speaker 1>prevent the overturning of the greatest experiment in self governance

0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:52.839
<v Speaker 1>in the affairs of human history, the United States of America.

0:06:55.200 --> 0:07:03.279
<v Speaker 1>What Donald Trump did is an unforgivable brief. He sought

0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:08.800
<v Speaker 1>to burn down what over a million Americans have given

0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:16.000
<v Speaker 1>a blood sacrifice to maintain, or, as Abraham Lincoln called it,

0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:21.720
<v Speaker 1>the last full measure of devotion. He has no right

0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:29.800
<v Speaker 1>and we have no right, to steal our inheritance, as

0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:34.800
<v Speaker 1>trustees of it, and take it from the millions of

0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:41.640
<v Speaker 1>Americans yet born. We must feel appreciate the connection between

0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:46.800
<v Speaker 1>all of us in this moment, but also to all

0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:53.200
<v Speaker 1>of us who have come before. The great moral leader.

0:07:54.280 --> 0:08:00.560
<v Speaker 1>John Lewis made the incredibly important point that it doesn't

0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:05.880
<v Speaker 1>matter what ship our ancestors arrived in, whether it was

0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:11.200
<v Speaker 1>a slave ship or an immigrant ship or a luxury liner,

0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:16.240
<v Speaker 1>because we're all in the same boat now, and that

0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:21.200
<v Speaker 1>boat is taking on water because an idea that had

0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:28.480
<v Speaker 1>been unimpeachable, an idea that had been untouchable, has been cracked.

0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:34.840
<v Speaker 1>And what has been cracked. Is this the notion that

0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:37.800
<v Speaker 1>in order to hold political power in America you must

0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:46.439
<v Speaker 1>be elected? And because that has cracked, another idea has sprouted.

0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Political power can be taken by the strong against the weak.

0:08:56.840 --> 0:09:03.960
<v Speaker 1>And understand this, it's a recipe for disaster and a

0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:09.440
<v Speaker 1>harbinger of evil. There has never been a calm period

0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:15.800
<v Speaker 1>in American history, but there are eras that are exceptional

0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:22.400
<v Speaker 1>in their turmoil. Franklin Delanar Roosevelt wasn't just a great visionary.

0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:27.040
<v Speaker 1>He was the most important and exceptional leader of the

0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:34.040
<v Speaker 1>twentieth century. Truly, he was Abraham Lincoln's peer. He saved

0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:41.160
<v Speaker 1>free market American capitalism, American democracy, and ultimately the world.

0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:46.080
<v Speaker 1>He was the architect of the American led world order

0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:52.079
<v Speaker 1>that followed the most brutal event in all of human history,

0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:58.719
<v Speaker 1>the Second World War, which killed across the globe more

0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:03.920
<v Speaker 1>than one hundred million people. It saw the near extermination

0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:10.720
<v Speaker 1>of Europe's Jews. Franklin Roosevelt, in nineteen thirty six, appearing

0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:16.240
<v Speaker 1>before the Democratic National Convention, said to the assembled delegates

0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:23.960
<v Speaker 1>that this generation has a rendezvous with destiny. He was correct.

0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:30.240
<v Speaker 1>It is also true that this generation of Americans has

0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:37.640
<v Speaker 1>a rendezvous with destiny, because we too live in momentous times.

0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:43.920
<v Speaker 1>We live at the fracture of the tectonic place between

0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:51.839
<v Speaker 1>one era and another. Roosevelt understood the vision that he held

0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:56.920
<v Speaker 1>would not endure forever. His goal, as he told the

0:10:56.960 --> 0:11:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Canadian Prime Minister, was that the era of American dominance

0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:06.920
<v Speaker 1>that he saw coming, an era of peace and stability

0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:13.720
<v Speaker 1>where there would be no more global wars, would last

0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:16.720
<v Speaker 1>for as long as everybody who was alive on the

0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:22.600
<v Speaker 1>day the war was won was still alive. We have

0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:26.520
<v Speaker 1>come to the end of that era and the end

0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:32.079
<v Speaker 1>of the long lives of the generation that had a

0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:38.479
<v Speaker 1>rendezvous with destiny, the generation of Jimmy Carter, the generation

0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:47.160
<v Speaker 1>of President George Herbert Walker Bush and Eleanor Roosevelt. We

0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:51.640
<v Speaker 1>all know that there is something terribly wrong in America,

0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:56.720
<v Speaker 1>and we all know that a momentous election is ahead.

0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Many commentators, including me, say this is the most important

0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:06.720
<v Speaker 1>election in American history, because for the first time we

0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:10.920
<v Speaker 1>have a president who is overtly stating that he is

0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:17.720
<v Speaker 1>against the republic, hostile to the Constitution, that he has

0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:23.200
<v Speaker 1>no intention of being president of all Americans, but rather

0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:28.440
<v Speaker 1>the leader of a faction seeking retribution against his enemies.

0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:32.480
<v Speaker 1>He seeks to imprison them, he seeks to lock them up.

0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:38.040
<v Speaker 1>He is talking about building concentration camps and deporting millions

0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:41.960
<v Speaker 1>and millions of people. He is talking about deploying the

0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:47.000
<v Speaker 1>United States military as a police force into the streets

0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:52.720
<v Speaker 1>to restore order in the name of some event that

0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:58.560
<v Speaker 1>hasn't yet occurred. And this person is winning the election.

0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:04.880
<v Speaker 1>All around us are signs of decay, markers of corruption.

0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:12.920
<v Speaker 1>The explosion of anti Semitism is one of them. Jews

0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:20.280
<v Speaker 1>are only ever safe in one form of government, healthy democracies.

0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:25.760
<v Speaker 1>Jews were not safe in Israel on October seventh because

0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:29.200
<v Speaker 1>of the epic failure of the Net and Yahoo government,

0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:35.080
<v Speaker 1>which is broken Israeli democracy, and thus even in Israel

0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:42.080
<v Speaker 1>made it unsafe for Jews. And here in the United States,

0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:48.360
<v Speaker 1>the poisonous dogmas seen at Ivy League schools have seeped

0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:54.760
<v Speaker 1>into many many quarters of American life, and even in America,

0:13:55.559 --> 0:14:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Jews do not feel safe. Many people don't feel safe

0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:07.240
<v Speaker 1>in America. They feel like everything is unraveling. Let's look

0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:11.880
<v Speaker 1>at something that happened this weekend. The world's richest man,

0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Elon Musk and anti Semi, a man who repeated almost

0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:23.440
<v Speaker 1>verbatim the colony and the slur of the treat of

0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:28.640
<v Speaker 1>life Synagogue killer before he went into murder Jews with

0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:34.320
<v Speaker 1>an ar fifteen with the words I'm going in. Musk

0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:41.000
<v Speaker 1>said the same thing. His platform is Munich in nineteen

0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:50.080
<v Speaker 1>thirty eight. It is the home of a digital mob pursuing, hunting, assaulting, attacking,

0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:57.000
<v Speaker 1>degrading and dehumanizing. And now because of Elon Musk, the

0:14:57.040 --> 0:15:02.880
<v Speaker 1>world's richest man, the propriet of Digital Munich circa nineteen

0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:11.360
<v Speaker 1>thirty eight, Linda Yakarino's corrupt boss, we have the return

0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:16.040
<v Speaker 1>of Alex Jones, the tormentor of the parents of the

0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:22.040
<v Speaker 1>murdered children, the murdered first graders of Sandy, UK. And

0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:27.160
<v Speaker 1>there was Alex Jones chatting it up with Andrew Tate,

0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:35.320
<v Speaker 1>an accused rapist and human trafficker, and of course the bully,

0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:44.440
<v Speaker 1>the fascist, the music man himself, vvek Ramaswami vveck Ramaswami,

0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:48.840
<v Speaker 1>who is emblazoned the word truth on his campaign signs,

0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:53.240
<v Speaker 1>with no hint of the irony that he appears more

0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:59.000
<v Speaker 1>like a character from a George Orwell novel, Scheming seeking

0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:06.720
<v Speaker 1>power to destroy freedom. All around us. We see the

0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:13.320
<v Speaker 1>signs of a great decay. It means something when Elon

0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Musk and Alex Jones and vivak Ramaswami and Andrew Kate

0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:27.720
<v Speaker 1>convening together on a platform with our restraint, it means

0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:34.240
<v Speaker 1>something because our bonds are fraying. The ability to discern

0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:42.960
<v Speaker 1>real from false, right from wrong, reality from delusion. Democracy

0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:49.600
<v Speaker 1>requires commitment, and the fight ahead will require a fierce

0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:55.720
<v Speaker 1>devotion to the truth, to decency into a defense of

0:16:55.920 --> 0:17:02.960
<v Speaker 1>ideas that human beings do not get their liberty from

0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:07.639
<v Speaker 1>men like Elon Musk and Alex Jones and Andrew Tate

0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:14.920
<v Speaker 1>in vivek Ramislami, that rights come from a creator above

0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:20.919
<v Speaker 1>our power to control, to understand, to condemn, to litigate with,

0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:26.560
<v Speaker 1>and those rights include life, liberty, and the pursuit of

0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:30.679
<v Speaker 1>happiness for all of us. And we must rekindle the

0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:36.200
<v Speaker 1>spirit in the country in order to defeat the ugliness

0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:41.040
<v Speaker 1>and the extremism and the menace of the forces who

0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:44.879
<v Speaker 1>have arisen once again like they have many times in

0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:49.520
<v Speaker 1>the past, who seek to take power by tearing it

0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:53.080
<v Speaker 1>all down. The answer to.

0:17:53.000 --> 0:18:01.560
<v Speaker 2>It is a powerful weapon. It's Americanism. It's the idea

0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:08.240
<v Speaker 2>that we the people can maintain a government by the

0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:11.680
<v Speaker 2>people of the people for the people, that we are

0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:16.240
<v Speaker 2>capable of self government. We are capable of perfecting the union,

0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:20.560
<v Speaker 2>of making things better, and we can do it. We

0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:26.560
<v Speaker 2>can do it without demeaning and dehumanizing and forgetting the

0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:33.160
<v Speaker 2>lessons of the twentieth century, which are as important as

0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:37.960
<v Speaker 2>they have ever been to fully appreciate and absorb.

0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:44.600
<v Speaker 1>In this moment of crisis. There is something terrible happening

0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:48.719
<v Speaker 1>in Washington, d C. In the United States Congress that

0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:53.200
<v Speaker 1>every American should know about and every American should care about,

0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:59.040
<v Speaker 1>because the actions of radical and extreme members will make

0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:05.879
<v Speaker 1>our children world profoundly more dangerous. It will increase the

0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:12.040
<v Speaker 1>chances dramatically that America's young men and women will die

0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:18.120
<v Speaker 1>in a European country fighting Russians in the twenty first century.

0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Should that ever happen, it can be remembered as the

0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:30.639
<v Speaker 1>most unnecessary war that has ever been. Right now in Washington,

0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:40.080
<v Speaker 1>extremist politicians, working in concert with extremists from foreign governments,

0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:46.639
<v Speaker 1>are seeking to throttle and choke off military funding to

0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:51.560
<v Speaker 1>the Ukrainian people, to the Ukrainian nation so that they

0:19:51.600 --> 0:20:00.720
<v Speaker 1>may survive Russian aggression. Let's be clear about something. There

0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:06.320
<v Speaker 1>is a deadly war underway that was started by the

0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:13.639
<v Speaker 1>Russian Federation on the direct orders of Vladimir Putin. This

0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:18.520
<v Speaker 1>is a criminal war and illegal war. And there are

0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:26.200
<v Speaker 1>thousands and thousands of incidents of documented war, crimes of barbarity,

0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:35.440
<v Speaker 1>the rape of women and girls, sexual violence, murder, and

0:20:35.480 --> 0:20:41.280
<v Speaker 1>the kidnapping of tens of thousands of Ukrainian children who

0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:49.160
<v Speaker 1>have been taken east. They're whereabouts completely unknown. Ukraine has

0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:54.760
<v Speaker 1>been invaded in the twenty first century by a far

0:20:55.119 --> 0:21:02.479
<v Speaker 1>more powerful nation, a contravention of every international law that

0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:07.919
<v Speaker 1>there is. It is a war of naked aggression, and

0:21:08.000 --> 0:21:13.560
<v Speaker 1>it is intolerable. The United States also has moral and

0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:20.040
<v Speaker 1>political obligations that should be stated clearly. In nineteen ninety one,

0:21:20.640 --> 0:21:26.240
<v Speaker 1>when Ukraine became fully independent from the tyrannical It's atalitarian

0:21:26.359 --> 0:21:31.879
<v Speaker 1>Soviet Union, guarantees were made to Ukraine so that she

0:21:31.960 --> 0:21:37.440
<v Speaker 1>would give up her nuclear armaments. In return, the United

0:21:37.480 --> 0:21:45.320
<v Speaker 1>States guaranteed a commitment to Ukraine's sustained sovereignty. In the

0:21:45.359 --> 0:21:50.280
<v Speaker 1>real world, the fickleness of the American attention span can

0:21:50.320 --> 0:21:55.399
<v Speaker 1>be a deadly thing. Not long ago, President Zelensky was

0:21:55.480 --> 0:22:00.200
<v Speaker 1>cheered as a global hero in the United States Congress,

0:22:00.800 --> 0:22:05.959
<v Speaker 1>a symbol of resistance, of a brave people fighting a

0:22:06.040 --> 0:22:11.679
<v Speaker 1>superior foe. All they asked for were the armaments to

0:22:11.760 --> 0:22:18.280
<v Speaker 1>do so, and the free world responded. But now the

0:22:18.359 --> 0:22:24.600
<v Speaker 1>free world is growing tired. Fascistic Senator JD. Vance from

0:22:24.600 --> 0:22:28.879
<v Speaker 1>the state of Ohio said this, We've already given the

0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Ukrainians one hundred billion dollars. If they're going to get

0:22:33.240 --> 0:22:37.919
<v Speaker 1>another sixty billion, what result will be different than what

0:22:38.240 --> 0:22:41.520
<v Speaker 1>happened with the first one hundred billion. Well, I can

0:22:41.600 --> 0:22:45.760
<v Speaker 1>answer the question for him and rebut the absurd premise

0:22:46.200 --> 0:22:51.680
<v Speaker 1>of the argument. The one hundred and sixty billion dollars

0:22:52.160 --> 0:22:57.439
<v Speaker 1>has kept NATO has kept the West out of a

0:22:57.520 --> 0:23:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Russian war of aggression by making sure that war is

0:23:02.160 --> 0:23:08.159
<v Speaker 1>fought inside of Ukraine. There is a simple truth, and

0:23:08.280 --> 0:23:13.480
<v Speaker 1>this is not rocket science, and any official who cannot

0:23:13.640 --> 0:23:18.360
<v Speaker 1>understand this should be questioned if they suffer from an

0:23:18.440 --> 0:23:25.880
<v Speaker 1>addleman that blocks the digestion of history, that impedes the

0:23:25.920 --> 0:23:32.719
<v Speaker 1>absorption of fact, that diminishes the ability to summon common sense.

0:23:35.000 --> 0:23:42.480
<v Speaker 1>The Russian war cannot expand outside of Ukraine, so long

0:23:42.520 --> 0:23:47.600
<v Speaker 1>as Russia is losing the war in Ukraine, but the

0:23:47.640 --> 0:23:53.440
<v Speaker 1>second the Russians win in Ukraine, the war will expand

0:23:53.480 --> 0:23:59.359
<v Speaker 1>outside of Ukraine, and the places where it will expand

0:23:59.440 --> 0:24:09.040
<v Speaker 1>to NET include NATO territory. Now, Donald Trump's campaign has

0:24:09.200 --> 0:24:15.080
<v Speaker 1>promised that among the first things that he does, besides

0:24:15.440 --> 0:24:22.080
<v Speaker 1>seeking retribution and declaring himself a dictator on day one,

0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:27.560
<v Speaker 1>is to withdraw America from the most successful military alliance

0:24:28.320 --> 0:24:33.960
<v Speaker 1>in world history. That alliance has kept the peace in

0:24:34.080 --> 0:24:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Europe after the deadliest war in all of human history

0:24:40.480 --> 0:24:46.160
<v Speaker 1>that saw the greatest acts of barbarism and man's inhumanity

0:24:46.240 --> 0:24:53.120
<v Speaker 1>demand in all of history. A withdrawal from Europe will

0:24:53.240 --> 0:25:01.120
<v Speaker 1>gary tee European war and the destruction once again of

0:25:01.160 --> 0:25:05.080
<v Speaker 1>some of the greatest cities of the world. The Heritage

0:25:05.119 --> 0:25:11.320
<v Speaker 1>Foundation was once a great conservative think tank. Today it

0:25:11.359 --> 0:25:15.479
<v Speaker 1>has become an arm of the conspiracy to destroy the

0:25:15.520 --> 0:25:19.359
<v Speaker 1>government of the United States and a Trump's second term,

0:25:20.119 --> 0:25:24.760
<v Speaker 1>the Heritage Foundation is deeply involved in the project to

0:25:25.000 --> 0:25:33.800
<v Speaker 1>fundamentally disassemble America's democracy, and now, alongside with agents of

0:25:33.920 --> 0:25:40.240
<v Speaker 1>Victor Orbon's Hungary, an authoritarianist state in Central Europe. Though

0:25:40.280 --> 0:25:44.480
<v Speaker 1>a NATO ally and an EU member, sided with Nazi

0:25:44.560 --> 0:25:47.760
<v Speaker 1>Germany in the Second World War and with the German

0:25:47.800 --> 0:25:53.400
<v Speaker 1>Empire in the First, and is increasingly hostile and anesthetical

0:25:53.480 --> 0:25:59.720
<v Speaker 1>to Western values, including pluralism and democracy. Just a year

0:25:59.800 --> 0:26:04.280
<v Speaker 1>ago go Victor Orbon gave a speech where he summoned

0:26:04.320 --> 0:26:10.919
<v Speaker 1>the words of Hitler himself. Victor Orbon is no friend

0:26:10.960 --> 0:26:14.159
<v Speaker 1>of the West and no friend of democracy, but he

0:26:14.320 --> 0:26:18.719
<v Speaker 1>does have a putin fetish like his friend Donald Trump.

0:26:20.240 --> 0:26:24.359
<v Speaker 1>Victor Orbon and his agents from Hungary, along with the

0:26:24.440 --> 0:26:28.600
<v Speaker 1>Heritage Foundation, will be briefing United States senators of the

0:26:28.640 --> 0:26:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Republican Party urging them to cut off military funding for Ukraine.

0:26:35.760 --> 0:26:41.840
<v Speaker 1>There is a conspiracy of extremism that is as historically

0:26:41.960 --> 0:26:48.560
<v Speaker 1>illiterate and blind as their antecedents as their predecessors the

0:26:48.640 --> 0:26:54.520
<v Speaker 1>America First Movement of Charles Limberg that preceded the Second

0:26:54.520 --> 0:27:00.280
<v Speaker 1>World War. Limberg tried to end America's Draft, which would

0:27:00.280 --> 0:27:06.680
<v Speaker 1>have devastated America's preparations to fight the Nazi Menacets. They

0:27:06.720 --> 0:27:12.160
<v Speaker 1>tried to cut off funding for the United Kingdom. These

0:27:12.280 --> 0:27:17.040
<v Speaker 1>people have always been wrong. They have stood on the

0:27:17.080 --> 0:27:21.119
<v Speaker 1>side of segregation domestically, and they have stood on the

0:27:21.240 --> 0:27:29.960
<v Speaker 1>side of appeasement abroad. These dangerous hours deserve rebuttal and response.

0:27:31.600 --> 0:27:38.640
<v Speaker 1>The United States government must fund an arm the Ukrainian

0:27:38.760 --> 0:27:44.880
<v Speaker 1>military for as long as Ukraine is fighting Russia, and

0:27:44.920 --> 0:27:50.640
<v Speaker 1>that war may last one year, two years, five years,

0:27:50.880 --> 0:27:57.320
<v Speaker 1>or ten. And the American commitment must be this, whatever

0:27:57.800 --> 0:28:03.400
<v Speaker 1>it takes to defeat and break the Russian army in Ukraine,

0:28:03.880 --> 0:28:07.520
<v Speaker 1>so that it cannot cause aggression in Europe, that it

0:28:07.720 --> 0:28:12.360
<v Speaker 1>cannot war Americans to war, that it does not cause

0:28:12.720 --> 0:28:17.560
<v Speaker 1>the Third World War or a massive casualty war on

0:28:17.720 --> 0:28:26.359
<v Speaker 1>European soil involving another generation of Americans. All over Europe

0:28:26.520 --> 0:28:32.440
<v Speaker 1>are the cemeteries where Americas war, dead or buried armies

0:28:32.560 --> 0:28:37.720
<v Speaker 1>of liberation. Let us honor them by making sure that

0:28:37.800 --> 0:28:43.560
<v Speaker 1>there is never another young American that joins them under

0:28:43.560 --> 0:28:48.280
<v Speaker 1>a white Cross or a Star of David in a row,

0:28:49.200 --> 0:28:54.840
<v Speaker 1>an army at rest facing back home across the ocean

0:28:55.440 --> 0:28:59.840
<v Speaker 1>they did not return from like their grandfathers a great

0:29:00.080 --> 0:29:01.160
<v Speaker 1>great grandfathers
