1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,760 Speaker 1: It is August sixth, twenty twenty five. This is the warning. 2 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,320 Speaker 1: Eighty years ago this morning the world changed. 3 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,799 Speaker 2: In a flash, the Anola gay to be twenty nine 4 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 2: Strata Fortress, under the command of Colonel Paul Tibbitts, dropped 5 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:20,239 Speaker 2: a single bomb on its target, Hiroshima. The nuclear mushroom 6 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 2: cloud that rose over that city heralded a new era 7 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 2: in the affairs of human civilization. Mankind in an instant 8 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,480 Speaker 2: claimed the power of the gods, the power of armageddon, 9 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 2: the ability to extinct life on Earth. And so yesterday 10 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,880 Speaker 2: a man who holds that power appeared from the roof 11 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 2: of the White House hold in court to the White 12 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 2: House press cort talking about the nuclear weapons. 13 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: Mister, what do you want to build? What are you 14 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: trying to build? Right? 15 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 2: Sir? 16 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: Is that you approve? 17 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:00,040 Speaker 2: You SayMore, Miss. 18 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: Miles, What. 19 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 2: A reassuring moment. Indeed, now it is six months in 20 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 2: and the fruits of the appeasement Democrats voting, for instance, 21 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 2: six of them for Christy nom to be the Homeland 22 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 2: Security Secretary. Here she is touring some concentration camps being 23 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 2: filled by Miller's men, the masked Ice agents funded to 24 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,680 Speaker 2: the tune of the fifteenth largest military in the world. 25 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 2: CBS News, ABC News have all capitulated, led by executives 26 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 2: who have bended their knee to the leader, have made 27 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 2: side deals with him, defenestrated their credibility. 28 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: Everywhere you look, powerful. 29 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 2: Institutions that are supposed to stand for ideas that are unassailable, 30 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 2: ideas that are self evidence, have folded like Chief TETs. 31 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,559 Speaker 2: Here was Chuck Schumer in that famous moment in March 32 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,519 Speaker 2: when fighting back could have still mattered. This was right 33 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 2: after his appeasement that made the next months possible that 34 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 2: have brought us to this moment of misery. 35 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna stand with you in this fight, and we 36 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: will win. We will win. We will win, we will win. 37 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: We are not winning. 38 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 2: And the American people know that there is something happening 39 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 2: in our country and it is this Donald Trump is 40 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 2: growing more unpopular by the hour, but more powerful by 41 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 2: the minute. 42 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: And it is this that we must deal with because. 43 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 2: That power is being turned on the people in a 44 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 2: way that suppresses the people's ability to have a choice 45 00:02:58,560 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 2: to be free. 46 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: And we must show defiance against this. 47 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 2: And so the fight that has been so poorly led 48 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 2: by Washington Democrats under the banner of the schumercratic leader, 49 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer. 50 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 1: Those Democrats have set. 51 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 2: The table for the next stage of the aggression, which 52 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 2: is the eradication of the ability of the American voter 53 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 2: to stop Trump, who they disapprove of, by taking away 54 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 2: their choice, by in essence declaring, yes, we still have elections, 55 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 2: but we've changed the locus of them. Now the politicians 56 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 2: picked their voters. That's not democracy. That's a potemptionin democracy. 57 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 2: It's an autocracy, and no American should be for it. 58 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 2: Greg Abbott in the state of Texas is going for it. 59 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 2: This is the danger of one party rule. This is 60 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 2: what it looks like. Democrats haven't won a statewide election 61 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 2: in Texas in thirty years, and so it has come 62 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 2: to be that this malicious, arrogant, corrupt man in his 63 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 2: cabal sit there in Austin and have encroached on the 64 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 2: liberty of every American by taking away the right of 65 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 2: the Democratic Party in the state of Texas even to exist, 66 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 2: to eradicate the ability for there to be dissent through 67 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 2: computer programs that carve out every democratic household in a 68 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 2: way that makes it impossible to send a Democrat to 69 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 2: Congress for a democratic voice to be heard. And they're 70 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 2: doing this to protect the deeply unpopular, imbecile Speaker of 71 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 2: the House, Mike Johnson, the religious nationalist extremist. In a 72 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 2: fair election, a vast American majority will sweep these people 73 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 2: from power. So what they are trying to do is 74 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 2: make sure the election is not fair, that the election 75 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 2: has been rigged, and that choice is whittled down as 76 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 2: much as possible, so it's all decided beforehand and it 77 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 2: must be opposed. Democrats must make clear that they will 78 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 2: not tolerate this. And the most important figure in this 79 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 2: moment in the country right now is the California Governor Newsom, 80 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 2: who must call his legislature into special session and do 81 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 2: two things. He must repeal the Schwarzeneger era redistricting reform 82 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 2: initiatives that passed. And he must pass the contours of 83 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 2: a map that will match whatever happens in Texas and 84 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 2: take three more and for each seat that a Republican 85 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 2: MAGA legislature in an extremist state tries to steal a 86 00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 2: democratic state not in the interests of the Demo Democratic Party, 87 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 2: but in the service of the United States and the 88 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 2: preservation of freedom and the Constitution of the United States 89 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 2: must equalize the. 90 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: Number back to a net of zero and then. 91 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 2: Take three more until this stops. And it will stop 92 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 2: because Greg Abbott proves the point that you can't fix 93 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 2: stupid and in the end, redistricting is a math game. 94 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 2: And the math here is not on the side of 95 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 2: the Republicans. It's on the side of the Democrats. 96 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: And so the. 97 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 2: Democrats must use power to stop the abuse of power, 98 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 2: and they must be merciless and ruthless in its application 99 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 2: before its restraint. 100 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: This is necessary. 101 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 2: Freedom must be defended, and it must be defended with 102 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 2: tough measures, in tough medicine by hard people in tough 103 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 2: moments like right now. 104 00:06:58,320 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: Appreciate this. 105 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 2: As we speak, there is a project underway that seeks 106 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 2: to strip you of choices that are fundamental to your happiness. 107 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 2: What politics is is the cost of gasoline in your tank, 108 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 2: and meat in your fridge and milk and orange juice, 109 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 2: and whether your kids are going to get ahead in 110 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 2: life or not. And the world that Magat is building 111 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 2: isn't just despotic, it's despicable, and that is what must 112 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 2: be confronted. The despicable cause, the corruption the indecency, the 113 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 2: malignancies of cruelty. We the people must assert our voices, 114 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 2: and when we do, they must be heard. Which is 115 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 2: why what Greg Gabbott is doing in Texas must be understood, 116 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 2: It must be opposed, and it must be opposed not 117 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 2: just in Texas but everywhere around America by Americans who understand, 118 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 2: into totality, what is at stake, because a great deal 119 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 2: is This is the warning.
