1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: This is the warning. Yesterday, the President of the French Republic, 2 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:09,039 Speaker 1: Emmanuel Macromee, came to the White House. I want you 3 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 1: to look at this image, the President of the United 4 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: States and the president of the French Republic. I'd like 5 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,919 Speaker 1: you to look at the flags, the stars and stripes, 6 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: and the French tricolor. We are bound together, France and 7 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 1: the United States, inexorably linked by our history. One of 8 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: the men who helped breathe life into the American Republic, 9 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: who helped give it a kiss of life, was named 10 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 1: Gilbert du Montier, better known in America as Lafayette, the 11 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 1: Marquis de Lafayette. When Lafayette threw the smoke at York Town, Virginia, 12 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: with George Washington in command, saw the white flag rays 13 00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: above British lines, he declared, humanity has its victory, liberty 14 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: has its country. And he prophesied that the new world, 15 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: this bastion of liberty, would save the old and it 16 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: did in the First World War. When the first American 17 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 1: forces to ever leave our shores as an expeditionary force 18 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: came to fight in the First European War of the 19 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:30,559 Speaker 1: twentieth century, they marched in a formation to Lafayette's grave, 20 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: and the commander of the detachment said, Lafayette, we are here. 21 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: There are tens of thousands of Americans buried in French soil. 22 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 1: We are bound together not by the art of the deal, 23 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: not by transactions, not by the bonds of gold and 24 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: money and material things, but the ephemeral ones human dignity 25 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: and liberty. When you see the French president standing with 26 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: the American president talking about freedom and talking about liberty, 27 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: and you see the look of contempt on Donald Trump's face, 28 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 1: there is only one thing for any decent patriot to 29 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: be thinking, and that is Viva Lafoss. Emmanuel McCone. The 30 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: first thing that you should notice in this news conference, 31 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: and it's a big deal. The French president speaks French 32 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: when he is at bilateral news conferences, particularly with an 33 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: American president. But here he has dispensed with the protocol 34 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: because Emmanuel maccone has important things to say to the 35 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: American people. Because we are being steered into the rock 36 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: by a captain drunk with power and staffed by a 37 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: ship of fools. They are bringing us with each day, 38 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: with each malpractice, not closer to peace but to war, 39 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: and war in Europe. This hour that we stand in 40 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: is the most important of the twenty first century. And 41 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: Donald Trump and Elon Musk and JD. Vance In all 42 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,959 Speaker 1: the rest of his pack of henchmen have no idea 43 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: what it is that they are doing except for wrecking 44 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: what other better men and women built that led on 45 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: an eighty year basis to the greatest fastest period of 46 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: human progress in all of recorded human civilization. And that 47 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: is what Donald Trump is taking a blow towards two. 48 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is going to be the architect of a 49 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: deal that makes the Munich Agreement look like a well 50 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: what else could be said about it? If that appeasement 51 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: is to be repeated, but this time with the full 52 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: knowledge of where appeasements lead. We should understand that Donald 53 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: Trump's vanity is lost to in the moment be credited 54 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: with doing something anything will make the world burn. And 55 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: so let's watch the French president set the record straight. 56 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,679 Speaker 2: You just so you understand, Europe is loaning the money 57 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 2: to Ukraine. 58 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: They get their money back, No, in fact, be to 59 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: be frank. We paid. 60 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 2: We paid sixty percent of the total defaults and it 61 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 2: was who I'd like the US loans Ganzy grants and 62 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 2: we provided the pail money. To be clear, we have 63 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 2: two hundred and thirty billion frozen assets in Europe Lucian assets. 64 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 2: But this is not as a connecting of Aulon because 65 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 2: this is not all belonging. So they are frozen. If 66 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 2: a of the negotiation moving up with Rushaw, they're ready 67 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 2: to give to give it to us super If would 68 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 2: be on at the end of the Dean RuSHA would 69 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,239 Speaker 2: have paid for that. 70 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: You WI, It's okay with me. It is not true 71 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,559 Speaker 1: what Donald Trump has been saying. Europe has given more 72 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 1: to Ukraine than the United States. And Ukraine and the 73 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: brave men and women have defended freedom with their lives, 74 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: with their blood, with their kidnap children, and the United 75 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: States is indifferent to their suffering. The President of the 76 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 1: United States looks in the camera and he calls the 77 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: Ukrainian president a dictator. Would you use the same webs 78 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: with all inclusive? Uh? I don't use those words lightly. 79 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: I think that we're going to see how it all 80 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 1: works out. When Vladimir Putin has filled mass graves with 81 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: Ukrainian men and women and kidnap tens of thousands of children, 82 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: has sent a criminal army full of rapists into a 83 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: European country, violating its sovereignty, violating its borders. And the 84 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: position of the United States is that peace comes at 85 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: the appeasement of the aggressor, because Donald Trump says so, 86 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: because he wants to make America great again, by stabbing 87 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 1: our allies in the back, betraying eighty years of collective security, 88 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 1: by bending his knee to a Russian dictator, because he 89 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 1: has an affinity for power and strong man. And when 90 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: he looks in the mirror and he sees Vladimir Putin 91 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: staring back, well, Trump's staring back. It's a jealous Trump 92 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 1: wishing it was Vladimir Putin staring back. Because all that 93 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 1: Trump cares about his power, all that Donald Trump cares 94 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 1: about his money. And Donald Trump has made that clear. 95 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: Let's dispense with the notion that the Trump revenist era 96 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: is to be an isolationist one, my friends, it is 97 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: to be a new age of imperialism, and the Russian 98 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: Empire will grow, and the Chinese Empire will grow, and 99 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: the American Empire will grow. This is Donald Trump's sick vision, 100 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: and it must be rejected by the American people who 101 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: look to our European friends and our shared values, and 102 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: remain committed to these words never again. What is happening 103 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: in America must be stopped. What is happening in Ukraine 104 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: with regard to Russian aggression must not be at peace. 105 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: If there is to be peace, it must be a 106 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: permanent peace, and it must be set with conditions that 107 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: may clear that it is Ukraine who has won this 108 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: war by surviving, and the Ukraine that survives, though smaller, 109 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: will be far more powerful. And Russia, which attack a 110 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: peaceful neighbor, will not be made powerful by the fruits 111 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: of its contrast, but rather suffer the consequences of it 112 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: a poorer nation that had sent eight hundred thousand of 113 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: its young men to die for Vladimir Putin's ego. And 114 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: the question for you, my friends, my fellow American citizens, 115 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: is how many of our sons, how many young American 116 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: men are going to have to die in the world 117 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: to satisfy Donald Trump's ego? Will eight hundred thousand be enough? 118 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: Because it didn't Saint Vladimir Putins, He's ready for more. 119 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: The most dangerous days in eighty years are upon us 120 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: because of the foolishness, the lack of wisdom, of one man, 121 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:36,959 Speaker 1: Donald Trump.
