President 16 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 3: Trump has expressed his commitment to solving this problem on 17 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 3: behalf of future administrations in the American people. The White 18 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 3: House is one of the most beautiful and historic buildings 19 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 3: in the world, Yet the White House is currently unable 20 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 3: to host major functions honoring world leaders in other countries 21 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 3: without having to install a large and unsightly tent approximately 22 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 3: one hundred yards away from the main building's entrance. The 23 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 3: White House State Ballroom will be a much needed and 24 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 3: exquisite edition of approximately ninety thousand total square feet of 25 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:43,119 Speaker 3: innately designed and carefully crafted space with a succeeded capacity 26 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 3: of six hundred and fifty people, which is a significant 27 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 3: increase from the two hundred person seated capacity in the 28 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 3: East Room of the White House. 29 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 2: This was Ronald Reagan's Oval Office, This was President Carter's, 30 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 2: President Ford's, President Clinton's, President George Herbert Walker Bush, President 31 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 2: George Walker Bush, President Obama, and now the Donalds. I 32 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 2: guess this is what happens when you live in a 33 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 2: world where the DNA of three people can make a 34 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 2: single child. It's as if you had Nero, a pimp, 35 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 2: and Liberachi and their DNA all take and mixed together 36 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 2: to produce the Donalds. And let's just call it an 37 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 2: unusual esthetic. Can you imagine the pure shock if you're 38 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 2: a foreign leader, a dignitary general, anybody who comes to 39 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 2: the Oval Office, who has ever been in the Oval 40 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 2: Office before, any person who has respect for the workspace 41 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 2: of what was really a type of citadel of democracy 42 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 2: no longer. Now it is the place where Steven Miller 43 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 2: lurks and where the masked men receive their orders from. 44 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: By the way, in addition to the. 45 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 2: Two hundred million dollar ballroom, these flagpoles, the Katari seven 46 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 2: forty seven, which will be gifted to Donald Trump after 47 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 2: his presidency. 48 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: All of these things. 49 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 2: That Donald Trump has built, planted, stolen, been gifted, however 50 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 2: you'd like to think about, bribed, whatever the right word 51 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 2: for you may be. All of these things cannot be 52 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 2: stood for. And we're at a fault line in the 53 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 2: country and inside. 54 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: The Democratic Party. 55 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 2: And the fault line is about whether you should fight 56 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 2: back or not. 57 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 4: You know, it keeps getting worse. Today, Donald Trump and 58 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 4: the White House announced they're going to spend two hundred 59 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 4: f million dollars to build a large, fancy White House 60 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 4: ball room. This is what those was all about, folks, 61 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 4: cutting things, taking things away from you, and not giving 62 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 4: it to someplace that needed it, giving it to the 63 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 4: big shots who run the show. Donald Trump at the 64 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 4: top of the list. Maybe he can park his new 65 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 4: plane in the big ballroom. It's probably big enough. 66 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 2: Fight back against the mass men, fight back against the 67 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 2: trillions of dollars of debt, fight back against the absolute 68 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 2: inability by Democratic leaders in Washington. 69 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 3: D C. 70 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 2: To be able to speak in English and to meet 71 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 2: where the American people are about anything, really, because that 72 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 2: party is at its lowest level ever, at least in 73 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 2: thirty five years. So what's to be done? What should 74 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 2: the Democratic Party stand for? And how should the Democratic 75 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 2: Party approach these issues? The two hundred million dollar ballroom, 76 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 2: the giant, gaudy flagpoles, the pimplification of the Oval Office, 77 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 2: the Katari jet. It would be good to hear it 78 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 2: Democrat offer this type of position and perspective on some 79 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 2: of these things. For example, with regard to the new 80 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 2: Air Force one on January twentieth of twenty twenty nine, 81 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 2: that aircraft will lose its designation as it carries Trump 82 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 2: to Florida, and then there'll be a new president. And 83 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 2: if it's an American president, not a fascist president, not 84 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 2: a MAGA president, not a Trump presidency, then the new 85 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 2: president should order the Air Force to seize the plane 86 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 2: from whatever military base it is at. It should be 87 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 2: put on a barge, it should be lifted by its 88 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 2: tail on that barge by a crane and dropped in 89 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 2: the water off of mari A Lago where a new 90 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 2: Marine preserve can be declared under the Antiquities Act, personally 91 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,799 Speaker 2: the diving programs for underprivileged kids which could take place there, 92 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 2: or something that I think as a country we could 93 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 2: all be proud of firing at the exact stroke of 94 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 2: noon on January twentyth, twenty twenty nine. The next president 95 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 2: has to have the wherewithal, the guts, the integrity, the strength, 96 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 2: the wisdom, and ultimately the restraint to rein in their 97 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 2: own powers. They go about the work of dismantling the 98 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 2: monstrosity that Donald Trump has created, restraining the corruption, restraining 99 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 2: the gaudiness, the cynicism, the lies, all of it, and 100 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 2: doing so on behalf of the American people. The concepts 101 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 2: that undergird the United States are sublime, and they require 102 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 2: the ability to comprehend complex subjects. Complexity and freedom. They're 103 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 2: linked together. And what Donald Trump stands for is in 104 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 2: this world of complexity, a simple tragic lie which says 105 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 2: that you can and get ahead by blaming someone else. 106 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: And what Trump is built as a cult of grievance. 107 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 2: He is well and truly the American nero, and so 108 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 2: no doubt Nero needs a ballroom to fiddle it while 109 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 2: he does the American economy is slowing down, prices are 110 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 2: going up, Inflation is rising in the mass manner coming. 111 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 2: But Milania, she'll get to keep on dancing and dancing 112 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 2: and dancing in the new ballroom built by Trump and 113 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 2: his friends from where Saudi Arabia guitar. It's not in 114 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 2: addition to the White House. It's a desecration of it. 115 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 2: And when the next president comes, whatever Trump is built, 116 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 2: their work will be to demolish all of it in 117 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 2: the name of the American people and the perpetuity of 118 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 2: the union, the United States of America. This wretched era 119 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 2: will end, and when it does, the King of Tackiness 120 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 2: will get to watch as the walls in the wall 121 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 2: lighthouse or stripped clear of his markings, his gold leaf, 122 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 2: and all of his sewage.
