WEBVTT - Trump's Rage-Filled Response To "No Kings" Protest 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.880 It is Monday, June the sixteenth. This is the warning. 0:00:05.000 --> 0:00:09.080 What a weekend across the United States. The protests that 0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:13.360 took place across all fifty states, in fact, in capitals 0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:18.639 all over the world, that included thousands of American cities, villages, 0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:22.639 and towns, were the largest in the history of the 0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:27.840 United States. Millions of people turned out. They raised the 0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:33.320 American flag, they printed signs, and they marched and they cheered, 0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:37.080 and they stood up for something that's bigger than all 0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:41.239 of us, and that's the United States America. There is 0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:45.760 a startling reality, and it's this. Though the country is 0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:49.840 two hundred and fifty years old, half of all Americans 0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:53.519 that have ever lived are alive right now. There have 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:58.200 only ever been seven hundred million of us from the beginning, 0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:02.240 and so that had of all Americans that have ever 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:07.880 been will decide the future for every American not yet born. 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:13.920 And this is fundamental to grasp because it is elemental 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:20.039 to the concept of American patriotism. We Americans leave it 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:24.520 a little bit better than we got it. We hand 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:30.320 off to the next generation a country that's freer, more prosperous. 0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:35.320 We make it an inch closer at least to the 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:38.880 summit of that city upon a hill that John Winthrop 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:42.120 talked about that, John Kennedy talked about that, Ronald Reagan 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:47.560 talked about that we share as Americans. Abraham Lincoln talked 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:51.800 about all of this. At a moment of violence and 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:55.680 chaos and disunion at the beginning of the Civil War, 0:01:55.840 --> 0:02:00.560 he said, we must remember that we are friends. He 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:04.520 mentioned that if it is our lot as a nation 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:09.280 to die, it will be by suicide, not foreign invasion. 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:14.160 And so when you look at Donald Trump's truth social posts, 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:19.960 the madness, the rage that stowed within him as he 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:25.160 sat watching his military parade spectacle fall flat, as he 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:30.079 watched the empty crowds. As he watched and he saw 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:34.960 those empty risers, as he saw the millions of people 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:40.040 protesting against him, he grew darker. He grew angrier. Look 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:43.880 at the faces in the front row of the dayas 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:49.400 Trump is falling asleep, Malania is falling asleep, Little Marco 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:52.640 is yawning. His wife looks like she just got off 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:56.119 the phone with the divorce attorney. They know what's happening, 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:59.240 they know what a failure this is, and they are 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:05.520 all affected by the darkness, by the rage emanating out 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:10.720 from Donald Trump, and so that rage within Trump built 0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:14.919 and built and built, and then it exploded on Sunday 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:20.440 night with a declaration of war against who against us. 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:24.160 Donald Trump sees an enemy, and the enemy is Chicago, 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:27.760 and the enemy is New York, and the enemy is California. 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:31.400 A man who has won election with forty nine point 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:35.360 five percent of the vote, one of the smaller mandates 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:39.680 in the history of presidential elections, has decided to use 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:45.320 his power to crush dissent and to punish, as he promised, 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:49.880 the people who voted against him. What Donald Trump has 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:53.240 seen is that when he looks out that balcony from 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:57.400 the White House out across over America, scanning in the 0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:01.480 middle distance to Washington Monument, what he sees is a 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:06.200 nation to be subdued, to be controlled, to be yoked 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:11.480 into obedience to him. The comments that he made are sick, 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:15.920 they're twisted, They bear no semblance in reality, but they 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:20.360 are deeply connected to what Christy Noms said in Los Angeles. 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:24.719 The federal government and Avatar I suppose of the most 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:29.240 extreme elements of red state America, have taken it upon 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:34.599 themselves to liberate American states and cities from their duly 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.920 elected leaders at a local level, at a state level, 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:41.960 and the liberation will be violent, and it will be 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:46.120 brought to you by masked federal agents. So when you 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:50.840 think about gang problems in gangs, Donald Trump has said 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:55.360 the country's being invaded by Venezuelan gangs. No evidence of that. 0:04:55.760 --> 0:05:00.479 Donald Trump has said over and over again, America is undersea. 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:03.520 But the only siege that most of us can see 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:07.520 is the federal siege ordered by Donald Trump, ordered by 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:12.599 his head of Homeland Security, sending masked agents, sending military 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:17.960 into America's streets, arming them against the American people and 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:21.120 turning them lose to do violence. And we saw that 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:24.960 this weekend. We saw the pictures of out of control cops, 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:29.320 we saw the pictures of peaceful protesters, and we saw 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:32.960 the madness in Washington of Donald Trump. And so it 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:38.760 all built through a weekend of assassination, random shootings, sporadic 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:43.240 acts of violence until Sunday night, when after taking it 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:46.839 all in, Donald Trump doubled down, and what he said 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:51.120 is the leashes off. I have power, and I'm going 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:54.839 to use it to terrorize the people who did not 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:58.039 vote for me, who do not support me, and who 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:03.600 object to the unco constitutional in illegal actions at hand. 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:08.320 Every American patriot is called in this moment to rise 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:12.200 up against us, to stand up against this, to speak 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:16.080 out for the people that are being targeted, harassed, and 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:21.360 brutalized by uniforms of oppression. We have reached an inflection 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:25.640 point in the United States. After ten long years of 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:30.000 Donald Trump. The mass are dropped. He is what I 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:33.000 have told you he is. He is a fascist, and 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:36.800 fascism has come to America, wrapped in the flag and 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:40.839 carrying the cross. It is dangerous, It is an evil, 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:44.080 and it must be opposed, and it will be opposed. 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:47.200 It will be opposed by you, It will be opposed 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:50.799 by me. It will be opposed by millions of us, 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:54.440 too many to put a way into camps, too many 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:59.680 to shoot, too many to arrest. A great, peaceful movement 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:04.200 will root itself in the American consciousness, and it will grow, 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:07.520 and it will grow and it will grow, and by 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:10.760 the time we reach the fall, there will be ten 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:15.600 million strong and growing on the streets. Because the American people, 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:20.320 half of whom who have ever lived, are alive right now, 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:24.840 are the same people from which we came. We are defiant. 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:28.960 We are strong, and we are free, and we will remain. 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:33.040 Ever so, Donald Trump has picked a fight he cannot win. 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:36.560 Donald Trump is a weak and failing president, and as 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:39.880 he feels cornered, he will lash out more and more, 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:43.560 but none of it will subdue the patriotism and the 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:47.960 fighting spirit of the American people, who will not tolerate 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:52.640 an out of control, unhinged president who has decided he 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:56.480 is our dictator, when in fact he is our venomous 0:07:56.520 --> 0:08:00.640 clown that, though elected, has no right to do the 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:06.000 things he is doing.
