1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,520 Speaker 1: How could this despicable man be the choice of a 2 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:11,879 Speaker 1: decent people to lead us? He must not be, because 3 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: he is not us. Because no decent person writes their 4 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,440 Speaker 1: own version of the Bible and fills it with the 5 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: documents of a nation that he desecrated, that he burned, 6 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 1: and tries to hawk it to Grandma and grandpa, living 7 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: on Social Security, living on fixed income, so he can 8 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: pocket another shekel. Shameful doesn't begin to describe it. Two 9 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty one days remain until the American people 10 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 1: decide the destiny of their nation. This is the warning. 11 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: It's Thursday, March twenty eighth. This is Hussein Bolt. He 12 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: was for many years the fastest man alive. He still 13 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: may be. I've never seen anybody faster. This is Felix 14 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 1: bomb Gardner. He jumped to Earth from the edge of 15 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: outer space. Nobody has gone higher. This is James Cameron, 16 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: the famed film director, but just as famously an undersea explorer. 17 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: He has been to the deepest point in the ocean. 18 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: Answering your question, how low can you go? This is 19 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: the thing about Donald Trump, when you think about it 20 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: for nine long years, How low could he go? Where 21 00:01:54,720 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: is the bottom, and he never fails to prize and delight. 22 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: As they say, only the most foolish among us would 23 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: look at Donald Trump and come to a conclusion, really 24 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: about anything, that he can't find a way to get lower, 25 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: to get smaller, to become meaner, more vicious, whatever, whatever 26 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: the vice, Trump can figure out a way to make 27 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: it hotter. But honestly, I did think that when it 28 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: came to blasphemy and to degrading faith and to simply 29 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 1: mocking it, he had a ready reached rock bottom. What 30 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: normal person could possibly think otherwise? Let me take you 31 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: back to the moment Trump apparently was in the White House, 32 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 1: surrounded by his henchmen and his daughter, the beautiful Princess Ivanka, 33 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: the high priestess of American nepotism, who went further and 34 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: higher in political life than any person ever has who 35 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: didn't deserve to. Evanka had an idea, wouldn't it be 36 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: terrific if those black people peacefully protesting out front could 37 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: be cleared so that Donald could march to the President's church, 38 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: Saint John's Episcopal to do something. Now, there was an 39 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: impediment to this, and that was the thousands of black 40 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: Americans exercising hard won rights to be equal in America, 41 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: peacefully protesting in front of the White House against racial injustice. 42 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: By the way, that's not a threat. That's an act 43 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: of patriotism and dissent is as thoroughly an American action 44 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: as there can be. But I digress. Trump looked out 45 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: the window at the White House, surrounded by protesting black people, 46 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: and he had an idea. He had a question, and 47 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: he exercised his power because the person he asked the 48 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: question of was the highest ranking uniformed officer of the 49 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: Armed Forces of the United States, the Chairman of the 50 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: Joint Chiefs of Staff, a general in the United States Army, 51 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 1: Mark Milly. And Trump showed compassion. You see, he did 52 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: not want to execute the black people protesting in front 53 00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 1: of the White House. Merciful is christ Like, Even some 54 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: say no, Trump, because he is a good Christian nationalist 55 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: that is just wanted to see the maiming and wounding 56 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 1: of those protesters. He asked, if they could just be 57 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:25,799 Speaker 1: shot in the legs, if they could just be shot 58 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 1: in the legs, maybe most would disperse right now. The 59 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff told the President 60 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 1: of the United States of America. That no, no, the 61 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: United States military could not open fire on the protesters, 62 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: shooting them in the legs. Instead, what happened is federal 63 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: thugs came out from wherever, without identification, without badges, without 64 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: name tags, and they cleared a path beating the protesters. 65 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: Something else happened that isn't talked about. Saint John's an 66 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: episcopal church, and episcopal priests were a prayer inside the church, 67 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,799 Speaker 1: inside a sacred space in the United States of America, 68 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: and they were fired on teargast. So Donald Trump could 69 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: march across from the White House through that cleared square 70 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: where violence was done to innocent, peacefully protesting Americans, so 71 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 1: he could take a picture, a photo, And here's the 72 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: photo he took, holding the Bible upside down, desecrating it 73 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: after having done violence in the square where since the 74 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: nineteenth century Saint Church, the Church of Presidents, a beautiful 75 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: place place of active worship, desecrated by the blasphemy of 76 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: Donald Trump holding the Bible, a book of faith for 77 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: millions of Americans who cherish it, value it, hold it holy. 78 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: There he is a president of the United States who 79 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: professes to be of the faith blaspheming and desecrating it. 80 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: But understand, Donald Trump is surrounded by people who desecrate 81 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: the faith of Jesus Christ, pastor paula grifter or extraordinaire, 82 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: all of these people who worship Trump as a deity, 83 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: who talk about him as if he is providentially set. 84 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: This man who has been convicted by a civil jury 85 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: effectively of raping a woman and then defaming her, This 86 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: twisted man, this liar, this blasphemer, this desecrator of God's 87 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 1: book and the American Constitution simultaneously. What a sickness has 88 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: broken out in our land, a sickness of the heart, 89 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: a sickness of the soul. And it corrupts everything it touches. 90 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: It corrupts the country. It corrupts our friendships with one another, 91 00:08:55,160 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: our family, the truth, and now faith. Because at the 92 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: moment when it seemed after his assault on Saint John's 93 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: Church that Trump could truly never ever go lower, when 94 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: it came to the desecration of Christianity, when it came 95 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: to full on frontal blasphemy, he went lower. It's a miracle, 96 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: if you think about it, because once you reach the 97 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: bottom of the ocean, there's not supposed to be any 98 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: place to go deeper. But Trump is like an oceanographer 99 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: who found the door, the portal to a deeper pool, 100 00:09:53,080 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: a cesspool of disgustingness. The first time I ever heard 101 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: the words I'm proud to be an American, like most 102 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: people who hear it, it hit home. It resonated. It 103 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,599 Speaker 1: been about to be an American, where at least not 104 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: every It's a beautiful song and it goes way back. 105 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: Leek Greenwood has been playing it for a very long time. 106 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: Somewhere along the line, and maybe pretty quickly though, this 107 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:35,319 Speaker 1: went from being a song about America to a song 108 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: used by the Republican Party to express a love for America. 109 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: But then that song changed again and it became smaller 110 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 1: and smaller. It became infused with a meaning not about 111 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: America but about a mean spirited faction. They used it 112 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: like camouflage as they preach the opposite values that are 113 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: even in the song. Apparently, though, Lee Greenwood didn't mind, 114 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: because he went along with it. And now there is 115 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: a final version of this song. It's reached its smallest version, 116 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: its tiniest It is now the anthem for a desecration, 117 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 1: a blasphemous act scored to music poisoned by Donald Trump, 118 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: who get ready for it? The man who had a 119 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 1: fake university shut down, who faces hundreds of millions of 120 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 1: dollars of judgments for fraud, for defamation through multiple court jurisdictions. 121 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: The accused felon, he accused rapist? Do you accuse harasser 122 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: and bully? The man who invaded the Russian dictator to 123 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: invade our allies. The man who over and over and 124 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: over again dehumanizes, calls brown skinned people animals, calls those 125 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: that are suffering vermitt You guessed it. He has commissioned 126 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: his own Bible, the Trump Bible. And you know what, 127 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: you can buy it today. You could buy a hundred 128 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 1: of them today, even a thousand. A boy, wouldn't that 129 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: shine the light of God on you? A thousand Trump Bibles? 130 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: Can you imagine the joy it could bring to your life? 131 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 1: Even five Trump Bibles? It would be incredible, wouldn't it. 132 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: And you know what's even better about these Trump Bibles? 133 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: From this guilty rapist, from this man who desecrated human 134 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: decency with his meanness and his bullying. Do you know 135 00:13:54,960 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: what's even better? Trump has included in the Bible, the 136 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: nation's most important secular political documents, fusing them together. Now, 137 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is a historic figure because until Trump, there 138 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: had only ever been forty four men who had been 139 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: President of the United States. Short men and tall men, 140 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: skinny men and fat men, white men, even a black man. 141 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: Every single one of them, though, did something that Trump 142 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: couldn't do. They could walk away from power when it 143 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: was their time because they understood how the country works, 144 00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: how it functions. Instead, with Donald Trump did is what 145 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: Adolph Hitler did in nineteen twenty three. He staged a coup, 146 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: engaged in a criminal act. He incited an insurrection against 147 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: what was once called the cause the American Revolution. It 148 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: is among the most despicable acts in all of American history, 149 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: if not the most so. It was a crime, it 150 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 1: was a conspiracy, and it was singular. Now let's understand 151 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: something else. We've invented a lot of great things in America. 152 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: We landed ships on the moon, sent probes to the 153 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: outer edges of the Solar system, computers, iPhones, automobiles, airplanes, 154 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: you name it. Toaster, ovens, ovens, dishwashers, washers, dryers, all 155 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: invented in America. The list of American inventions is ceaseless, endless, 156 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: and we're still inventing. But do you know what The 157 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: two greatest inventions in all of human history are American inventions, 158 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: and we know what they are and it will never change. 159 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: They're one and two. Number one, the separation of church 160 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: and state. There is no state religion here. It's the wisest, 161 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: most revolutionary things the founders did. And then, of course 162 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 1: the greatest idea of all, the peaceful transition of power 163 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: that endured from seventeen ninety seven through World War and 164 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: depression and Civil war until it hit the brittle ego 165 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 1: of Donald John Trump, the broken little boy who can 166 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: ever lose because if he does, it must be rigged. 167 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,919 Speaker 1: And he took a good bit of the country along 168 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: for the insanity with him. Donald Trump's Bible is a 169 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:47,199 Speaker 1: desecration in purchasing. It is the mark of a fool 170 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 1: who we should all have pity for, feel great sadness for. 171 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 1: And though we may want to walk away from this 172 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: person because they discussed us, or they trigger contempt within us, 173 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 1: or shame because we know them or we're related to them, 174 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 1: we can't abandon these people to this con man. Because 175 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 1: the ideas that he is trying to steal, cooptake as 176 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: he takes everything that he touches matter. The Bible is 177 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: a story of redemption and love and forgiveness is a 178 00:18:51,119 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: book of wisdom that refutes through that wisdom what Trump is, 179 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:11,239 Speaker 1: which is the lowest type of character imaginable. Nobody in 180 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: America is called to judge Trump, unless, of course you're 181 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: on a jury. But every American is called to make 182 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:32,679 Speaker 1: a judgment about Trump. How could this despicable man be 183 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: the choice of a decent people to lead us. He 184 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: must not be, because he is not us. Because no 185 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 1: decent person writes their own version of the Bible and 186 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: fills it with the documents of a nation that he desecrated, 187 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: that he burned, and tries to hawk it to Grandma 188 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: and grandpa living on social Security, living on fixed income, 189 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: so we can pocket another shekel. Shameful doesn't begin to 190 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: describe it. And a country, a nation, a society that 191 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: cannot grasp elemental concepts of right and wrong, what's true, 192 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: what's not, is in big trouble. And this is why 193 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: this week, this story at NBC News mattered so much, 194 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: because finally, at long last eight nine years into this madness. 195 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: Somebody we all know wouldn't get in line. Chuck Todd 196 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 1: did something great this week. Our bosses owe you an apology. 197 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 1: He lit a flame. And that quote will endure in 198 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: ten years from now, twenty years from now. It will 199 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:28,640 Speaker 1: have a much deeper meaning because our bosses will mean 200 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 1: a generation of media executives who could not, through their 201 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: greed and blindness, understand some elemental truths about America and 202 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:50,679 Speaker 1: about this moment and the danger at hand. Journalism is 203 00:21:50,720 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: the truth business. It's the fact business. And there are 204 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: people who are abusive of the truth, who will lie 205 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:22,199 Speaker 1: monstrously to get something, something more valuable than money, the 206 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: rarest of jewels. Power. They want power. And when you 207 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: see somebody in a constitutional republic that has endured longer 208 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: than any on earth and longer than any in history, 209 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 1: that has lit the world, that is the lynchpin of 210 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: global security, prosperity, and freedom be undermined from within because 211 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:11,400 Speaker 1: of a luss for power by an American named Roni McDaniel. 212 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 1: In this instance, that person, after the fact can't say, oops, 213 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: this is the nature of the game, because it has 214 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: never been the nature of the purpose of the game 215 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: of politics to subvert the existence of the republic under 216 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: which these parties were born and exists for but one purpose, 217 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 1: to strengthen the Union. The Wall Street Journal is deeply affronted. Incredibly, 218 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: the last paragraph of their noxious editorial is this the 219 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 1: tempest over miss McDaniel suggests the press is preparing to 220 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:15,919 Speaker 1: make the same mistake again. This is bad for the country, 221 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,919 Speaker 1: but it's even worse for the press, which still doesn't 222 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: understand why it is so mistrusted. How incredible it is 223 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: the editorial board owned by the same company that put 224 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson on television, the same company that tolerates Brettbaer 225 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 1: in an anchorchair, terrified of telling his audience who won 226 00:24:52,520 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: the presidential election. They dare to suggest, in an Orwellian 227 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: double speak of double paranoia and lunacy, that the defense 228 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: of truth, intolerance for the lie and the liar, is 229 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 1: what will undermine the credibility of a news media whose 230 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 1: credibility has been destroyed chiefly by the antics of their 231 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 1: poisonous cousins. The Fox News Channel totally shit. It is incredible, 232 00:25:54,480 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: it is dangerous, But most importantly, it is just as 233 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: Ronald McDaniel's lies were real. The election's outcome is not 234 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: a feeling. You don't get to say, well, it must 235 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 1: have been rigged because everyone on my street voted for Trump. 236 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: It's not how it works. In reality, there is truth. 237 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 1: There's a lot of truth in that Bible that Trump 238 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: is desecrating, and there's a lot of truth in that 239 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 1: Declaration of Independence that Trump is desecrating. And there's a 240 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 1: lot of truth in that US Constitution that Trump is 241 00:26:55,200 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 1: desecrating and has desecrated and will desecrate it. And there's 242 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: truth at thirty Rock, the headquarters of NBC. Because when 243 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 1: the executives, who are no different than the Fox executives 244 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 1: or the Wall Street Journal editorial board, just another group 245 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:37,159 Speaker 1: of people who are deeply cynical about well everything, met 246 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:44,360 Speaker 1: up with people who are idealistic and who mean what 247 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 1: they say and have purpose and worth in their work 248 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 1: and in themselves, an incredible thing happened. You saw the 249 00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:04,159 Speaker 1: power of defiance, You saw the power of principle. And 250 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:10,919 Speaker 1: now you see the shrill reactions from the shamed and 251 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: the shameful defense of truth. It matters in America. And 252 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: when you see somebody hawking Bibles who is found guilty 253 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:35,160 Speaker 1: by a civil jury of rape. Wake up. No. If 254 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,640 Speaker 1: tens of millions of people in this country are prepared 255 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 1: to give this man political power again, it must not happen. 256 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: It cannot happen, and it will not happen because Americans 257 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: are good people. And that's what happened at NBC News 258 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 1: this week. Good people, honest people, people who say what 259 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 1: they mean and mean what they said. Said enough and 260 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: you can still feel the reverberations. Two hundred and twenty 261 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 1: one days to go until a very big choice is made. 262 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 1: Thank you for listening to my political commentary.
