1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: One hundred and sixty seven days remained till the American

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: people make an awfully important decision to May twenty second.

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: This is the morning. A few minutes before midnight on

4
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: December thirty first, nineteen ninety nine, from the Lincoln Memorial,

5
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:25,159
Speaker 1: President William Jefferson Clinton spoke the concluding words of the

6
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: twentieth century from an American president's mouth. They were optimistic,

7
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: they were full of hope. Let's listen to the last

8
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: two paragraphs of that speech.

9
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: Now we're just moments from that new millennium. Two centuries ago,

10
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 2: as the framers were crafting our Constitution, Benjamin Franklin was

11
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: often seen in Independence Hall looking at a painting of

12
00:00:55,560 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: the sun low on the horizon. A long last the

13
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 2: Constitution finally was signed. Mister Franklin said, I have often

14
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 2: wondered whether that sun was rising or setting. Today I

15
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: have the happiness to know it is a rising sun. Well,

16
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: two centuries later, we know the sun will always rise

17
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: on America, as long as each new generation lights the

18
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 2: fire of freedom. Our children are ready. So again the

19
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 2: torch is passed to a new century of young Americans.

20
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: This vision of President Clinton's did not come to pass.

21
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: The world we live in. According to one of the

22
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: preeminent scholars on to tolitarianism in twentieth century, fascism stands

23
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: at an hour that on the clock, according to doctor

24
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: Timothy Snyder, is nineteen thirty eight. The Ukrainian army is exhausted,

25
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: it is battered. Russians are advancing. There are stories in

26
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: the United States press about Rudy Giuliani urinating during a

27
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: court hearing, but not about the dire conditions at the

28
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: Ukrainian front, where the losses are as a direct result

29
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: of the perfidy and the incompetence and the stupidity of

30
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: the United States Congress and the Maga movement that made

31
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 1: the world so much more dangerous. Yesterday, Neil Patel, the

32
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: chief executive officer of Tucker Carlson Media, denied reports that

33
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: he was in business along with Tucker Carlson with the

34
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: Russian government. It doesn't matter whether it's a financial deal

35
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: or not. They are in business morally, and they are

36
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: in business intellectually. And that's why Russian state media put

37
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson onto their television programming. How is it that

38
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: we got from there to there? According to The Atlantic magazine,

39
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: in an astonishing essay, the Saudi government was deeply involved

40
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: in the nine to eleven attacks. It turns out there

41
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: was a state sponsor. It wasn't the Iraqi government, of course,

42
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: we know that and have for a long time, But

43
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: according to litigation records, it was the Saudi government. Think

44
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: about that. How would history have been different if we

45
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: knew and the Bush administration had acted on reality, which

46
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: was that the state eight sponsorship came from inside a

47
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: government that purported to be an American? Ally, what was

48
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: the cost of all of this? At the end of

49
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: the Atlantic article, they sum it up. Let me read

50
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: it today. For most Americans, the global War on Terror

51
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: has become a hazy memory from the time before Donald

52
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: Trump In Washington, policymakers avoid discussing the subject, Yet it

53
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: bears remembering. It cost US six trillion dollars and that

54
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: number is expected to go higher because of the long

55
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: term healthcare cost for veterans. It turned the Middle East

56
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: upside down, increasing the regional influence of Iran. More than

57
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: seven thousand American servicemen and women died in action. Thirty

58
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: thousand more an extraordinary number died by suicide. In all,

59
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: more than eight hundred thousand Iraqis, Afghans and others, most

60
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: of them civilians, perished in the war. The War on

61
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: Terror and its origins in nine to eleven are seen

62
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: in retrospect as farce and tragedy. But the emerging picture

63
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: of the preparations for nine to eleven make recognizing the

64
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: sheer scale of the blunder inescapable. And that's from Daniel Benjamin,

65
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: the president of the American Academy in Berlin, who served

66
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: as the Count of Terrorism Coordinator at the US State

67
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: Department from two thousand and nine to twenty twelve. And

68
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: Stephen Simon, a senior fellow at the Quincy Institute for

69
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: Responsible state Craft and a professor of Middle Eastern Studies

70
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: at the University of Washington, author of Grand Delusion, The

71
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: Rise and Fall of American ambition in the Middle East. Farce,

72
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: What a perfect word this from yesterday, world class dammagg

73
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 1: ted Cruz assaulting the United States Secretary of State with

74
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: utter nonsense.

75
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 3: Miss Secretary, you have presided over the worst foreign policy

76
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 3: disaster of modern times. When Joe Biden became president, he

77
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 3: inherited peace and prosperity in the world. We now have

78
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 3: two simultaneous wars waging the worst war in Europe since

79
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 3: World War II and the worst war in the Middle

80
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 3: East in fifty years. Both I believe were caused by

81
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 3: this administration's consistent weakness, and indeed, your foreign policy is

82
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 3: precisely backwards from what a rational American foreign policy should be.

83
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 3: To our friends and allies, this administration is consistently undermined, weakened,

84
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 3: and attacked them. And to our enemies, this administration has

85
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 3: shown constant put indeed, has flowed billions of dollars to

86
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 3: the enemies of America who want to kill us.

87
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: The great tragedy and travesty of the twenty first century

88
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: that helped get us from there to here was the

89
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: war in Iraq. A farce. I'm going to show you

90
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: a farce. The man who calls himself America's mayor a

91
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: man who is a disgrace beyond any measure. Let's look

92
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: back as some of Rudolph Giuliani's greatest.

93
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 4: Heads with a very big spike in the vote count

94
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 4: at exactly that time, right up. So what we're telling

95
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 4: you is supported by evidence.

96
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: Shall we take a trip back in time to the

97
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: four seasons.

98
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 5: Trump advisor Rudy Giuliani held his infamous news conference outside

99
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 5: the business last November Trump he mistakenly booked four seasons

100
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 5: total landscaping instead of the four seasons hotel in Center

101
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 5: City for the news conference.

102
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 6: This is outrageous, an enormously important contest with a very

103
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 6: very suspect method of voting. There was no security zero.

104
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 4: The people of this.

105
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 6: City, people of this country, have no assurance at all

106
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 6: that those ballots were actually cast. That would have to

107
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 6: have been almost unanimously cast for Joe Biden in order

108
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 6: to catch up.

109
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: What Rudy Giuliani has become is a loser, a broke, drunk,

110
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: a man who sits at his eightieth year and uttered disgrace,

111
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: A seditionist, criminal defendant, one of the most corrup public

112
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: officials of the twenty first century in American life. A

113
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: man who represents perfectly the vices and the lowness that

114
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: has pulled the nation to this low point. In this morning,

115
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: I learned that I've been blocked by American Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

116
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: Who knew why, But what did I say? Rudolph Giuliani

117
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: is a polaris of vice and all of the wretched

118
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: qualities of selfishness and self serving ambition that has harmed

119
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: this country so grievously and brought us to this low

120
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: moment where the front runner to be the next president

121
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: of the United States, Donald Trump, talks openly about human

122
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 1: beings as Vermin promises mass deportation camps and a police

123
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: state to fill them. Rudy Giuliani's in the coffee business now.

124
