1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,880 Speaker 1: It is Monday, June the sixteenth. This is the warning. 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 1: What a weekend across the United States. The protests that 3 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 1: took place across all fifty states, in fact, in capitals 4 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:18,639 Speaker 1: all over the world, that included thousands of American cities, villages, 5 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,639 Speaker 1: and towns, were the largest in the history of the 6 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: United States. Millions of people turned out. They raised the 7 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: American flag, they printed signs, and they marched and they cheered, 8 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: and they stood up for something that's bigger than all 9 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 1: of us, and that's the United States America. There is 10 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 1: a startling reality, and it's this. Though the country is 11 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,840 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty years old, half of all Americans 12 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: that have ever lived are alive right now. There have 13 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: only ever been seven hundred million of us from the beginning, 14 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: and so that had of all Americans that have ever 15 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: been will decide the future for every American not yet born. 16 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: And this is fundamental to grasp because it is elemental 17 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 1: to the concept of American patriotism. We Americans leave it 18 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: a little bit better than we got it. We hand 19 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:30,320 Speaker 1: off to the next generation a country that's freer, more prosperous. 20 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 1: We make it an inch closer at least to the 21 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: summit of that city upon a hill that John Winthrop 22 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: talked about that, John Kennedy talked about that, Ronald Reagan 23 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: talked about that we share as Americans. Abraham Lincoln talked 24 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: about all of this. At a moment of violence and 25 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: chaos and disunion at the beginning of the Civil War, 26 00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: he said, we must remember that we are friends. He 27 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: mentioned that if it is our lot as a nation 28 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: to die, it will be by suicide, not foreign invasion. 29 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: And so when you look at Donald Trump's truth social posts, 30 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: the madness, the rage that stowed within him as he 31 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: sat watching his military parade spectacle fall flat, as he 32 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 1: watched the empty crowds. As he watched and he saw 33 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: those empty risers, as he saw the millions of people 34 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: protesting against him, he grew darker. He grew angrier. Look 35 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: at the faces in the front row of the dayas 36 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: Trump is falling asleep, Malania is falling asleep, Little Marco 37 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: is yawning. His wife looks like she just got off 38 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,119 Speaker 1: the phone with the divorce attorney. They know what's happening, 39 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: they know what a failure this is, and they are 40 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: all affected by the darkness, by the rage emanating out 41 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: from Donald Trump, and so that rage within Trump built 42 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: and built and built, and then it exploded on Sunday 43 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: night with a declaration of war against who against us. 44 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: Donald Trump sees an enemy, and the enemy is Chicago, 45 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: and the enemy is New York, and the enemy is California. 46 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: A man who has won election with forty nine point 47 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: five percent of the vote, one of the smaller mandates 48 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: in the history of presidential elections, has decided to use 49 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: his power to crush dissent and to punish, as he promised, 50 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: the people who voted against him. What Donald Trump has 51 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: seen is that when he looks out that balcony from 52 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: the White House out across over America, scanning in the 53 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: middle distance to Washington Monument, what he sees is a 54 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: nation to be subdued, to be controlled, to be yoked 55 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: into obedience to him. The comments that he made are sick, 56 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: they're twisted, They bear no semblance in reality, but they 57 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: are deeply connected to what Christy Noms said in Los Angeles. 58 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: The federal government and Avatar I suppose of the most 59 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: extreme elements of red state America, have taken it upon 60 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 1: themselves to liberate American states and cities from their duly 61 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: elected leaders at a local level, at a state level, 62 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: and the liberation will be violent, and it will be 63 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: brought to you by masked federal agents. So when you 64 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 1: think about gang problems in gangs, Donald Trump has said 65 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: the country's being invaded by Venezuelan gangs. No evidence of that. 66 00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 1: Donald Trump has said over and over again, America is undersea. 67 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: But the only siege that most of us can see 68 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: is the federal siege ordered by Donald Trump, ordered by 69 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: his head of Homeland Security, sending masked agents, sending military 70 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: into America's streets, arming them against the American people and 71 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: turning them lose to do violence. And we saw that 72 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: this weekend. We saw the pictures of out of control cops, 73 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: we saw the pictures of peaceful protesters, and we saw 74 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: the madness in Washington of Donald Trump. And so it 75 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: all built through a weekend of assassination, random shootings, sporadic 76 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: acts of violence until Sunday night, when after taking it 77 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: all in, Donald Trump doubled down, and what he said 78 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: is the leashes off. I have power, and I'm going 79 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: to use it to terrorize the people who did not 80 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 1: vote for me, who do not support me, and who 81 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: object to the unco constitutional in illegal actions at hand. 82 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: Every American patriot is called in this moment to rise 83 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: up against us, to stand up against this, to speak 84 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: out for the people that are being targeted, harassed, and 85 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: brutalized by uniforms of oppression. We have reached an inflection 86 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: point in the United States. After ten long years of 87 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. The mass are dropped. He is what I 88 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: have told you he is. He is a fascist, and 89 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: fascism has come to America, wrapped in the flag and 90 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: carrying the cross. It is dangerous, It is an evil, 91 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: and it must be opposed, and it will be opposed. 92 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: It will be opposed by you, It will be opposed 93 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,799 Speaker 1: by me. It will be opposed by millions of us, 94 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: too many to put a way into camps, too many 95 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: to shoot, too many to arrest. A great, peaceful movement 96 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: will root itself in the American consciousness, and it will grow, 97 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: and it will grow and it will grow, and by 98 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: the time we reach the fall, there will be ten 99 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: million strong and growing on the streets. Because the American people, 100 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: half of whom who have ever lived, are alive right now, 101 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: are the same people from which we came. We are defiant. 102 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: We are strong, and we are free, and we will remain. 103 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: Ever so, Donald Trump has picked a fight he cannot win. 104 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is a weak and failing president, and as 105 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: he feels cornered, he will lash out more and more, 106 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: but none of it will subdue the patriotism and the 107 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: fighting spirit of the American people, who will not tolerate 108 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: an out of control, unhinged president who has decided he 109 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: is our dictator, when in fact he is our venomous 110 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: clown that, though elected, has no right to do the 111 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: things he is doing.
