1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: On this episode of News World. Now we assemble this

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: afternoon to count our citizens votes and to formalize their

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: choice of the next president. Now we're going to finish

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: exactly what we started. We'll complete the process the right

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 1: way by the book, will follow our presidents, our laws

6
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: at our Constitution to the letter, and we will certify

7
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: the winner of twenty presidential election as we reconvene tonight.

8
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: Let us remember in the end, all this mob has

9
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: really accomplished is to delay our work by a few hours.

10
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: We will resume our responsibilities now and we will finish

11
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: our task tonight. Urged by colleagues to move forward with

12
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: completing the electoral account, to refrain from further objections, and

13
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: to unanimously affirm the legitimacy of the presidential election. Today,

14
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: a shameful thought was made on our democracy. It cannot, however,

15
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: deter us from our responsibility. For that reason, Congress has

16
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: returned to the Capital. We always knew that this responsibility

17
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: would take us into the night. I'm going fall. As

18
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: long as it takes, our purpose will be accomplished. The

19
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: elected representatives of the people of the United States have

20
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: assembled again on the very same day to support and

21
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: defend the Constitution of the United States. Let's get back

22
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: to work. Hi, this is new due to the virus.

23
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: I'm recording from home, so you may notice a difference

24
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: in audio quality. Bipartisan bologna. And I say that because

25
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: I listened the other night as people who at the

26
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: time were shocked, and we're desperate to get beyond the

27
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: immediate crisis. All begins old. We need to find a

28
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: way to work together. We need to find a way

29
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: to be bipartisan. I need to find a way to

30
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: listen to each other. And within twelve hours listening to

31
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: each other turned into the Democratic leader in the Senate

32
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: and the Democratic leader in the House calling for either

33
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: the use of the twenty fifth Amendment the force President

34
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: Trump out of office, or an impeachment. The President of

35
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: the United States incited an armed insurrection against America. I

36
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: joined the Senate Democratic leader and calling on the Vice

37
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: president to remove this president by immediately invoking the twenty

38
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: fifth Amendment. I believe the president is dangerous. The quickest

39
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: and most effective way to remove this president from office

40
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: would be for the Vice president to immediately invoke the

41
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: twenty fifth Amendment. Now, the idea that it was twelve

42
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: days ago you would bring up the concept of impeaching

43
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: somebody who just a month ago got seventy four million votes.

44
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: Is about as far from bipartisanship as you could imagine.

45
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: But my whole career, all the years I spent in

46
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,679
Speaker 1: the House, the years I was speaking of the House,

47
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: again and again, I come into this double standard on

48
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: the left, where their idea of bipartisanship is conservative surrender.

49
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: And so they're very happily bipartisan if you give them

50
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: what they want. But think about the psychology of somebody who,

51
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: with a straight face can in the evening talk about

52
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: bipartisanship and the next morning talk about impeaching the president

53
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: and not even realize what an extraordinary, profound difference there

54
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: is in those two approaches. I think we could use

55
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: real bipartisanship. When I was speaking of the House, despite

56
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: all of the fights we had, Bill Clinton and I

57
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: got a lot done because we could reach beyond fighting

58
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: and pass welfare reform, pass a capital gains tax cut,

59
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: past four consecutive balanced budgets, because we understood that beyond partisanship,

60
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: there's a country, and you've got to find a way

61
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: to work together. And yes, we went through an impeachment,

62
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: but it was a totally different model. We didn't rush

63
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: out to play some game. We had a report given

64
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: to us, so we couldn't avoid. Now you're in a

65
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: situation where, having failed to impeach the president of a

66
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: totally phony Ukrainian issue at the beginning of the auction year,

67
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: you now have Speaker Pelosi once again bringing up the

68
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: idea of impeachment. How does that lead to buipartisanship? How

69
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: does that calm people down? How does that get us

70
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: beyond the immediate moment? It doesn't. And I think the

71
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: fascinating thing is, let's review how people got to hear.

72
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: We were told over and over again that we were,

73
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: in fact sort of irrelevant, even on television time to

74
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: get these snotty comments. They're high fiving each other for

75
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: this deplorable display of behavior, and they're going to go back,

76
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: you know, to the Olive Garden and to the holiday

77
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: inn that they're staying at in the garden Marriott, and

78
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: they're going to have some drinks and they're going to

79
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: talk about the great day that they had in Washington

80
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: and they really did something and stand up for something.

81
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: The elite contempt for the seventy four million people who

82
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: voted for President Trump was just astonishing. And so you

83
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: end up with us being told all year long, the

84
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: news media told us over and over the violence was fine.

85
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: Riots were fine. Sometimes people just had to do things

86
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: because they were so offended, or they were so hurt,

87
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: or they had such a deep need to be heard.

88
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: And I want you to hear what many of the

89
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: news media said all through the summer, well the rest

90
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: of us set watched Citi's burning stores being destroyed, people's

91
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: neighborhoods being torn apart. We thought that was violence. People died.

92
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: We thought it was violence. Oh, that wasn't violence, because

93
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: it was morally legitimate. Here the voices of those who

94
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: trained the rest of us to be known to the

95
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: concept of a riot. I want to be clear and

96
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: how I characterize this is mostly a protest. It is not,

97
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: generally speaking, unruly. That ain't a riot. What we're seeing

98
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: right now in Minneapolis, which they are strictly principled anti fascists,

99
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: and they've taken a principal stand to stand against white

100
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: supremacists and white nationalists wherever they may show up. I

101
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: argue to you tonight all punches are not equal morally.

102
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: It says it right in the name Antifa anti fascism,

103
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: which is what they were there fighting. Listen, there's you know,

104
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: no organization is perfect. There are some violence. Any reasonable

105
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: person would say we shouldn't be destroying other people's property.

106
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 1: But these are not reasonable times. Well, thank goodness for

107
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: the looters man, and please show me where it says

108
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: that protests are supposed to be polite and peaceful. Much

109
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: about statutes exactly should have been done by a commission

110
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: or city counsel, not a mob in the middle of

111
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: denied growing it into any you're seeing behind me is

112
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: one of multiple locations that have been burning in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

113
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: Do not get it twisted and think that, oh, this

114
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: is something that has not never happened before, and then

115
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: this is so terrible and where are we and these

116
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: savages and all of that. This is how this country

117
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: was started. People get mad, and people get sick of it.

118
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: People are risking COVID to explain to this country that

119
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: we're fed up. Most of the major movements in American

120
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: history have started at the grassroots level and at some

121
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: point have turned into direct conflict with American government, So

122
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: remember your history before you judge your present. Thuggishness is

123
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: thuggishness wherever it comes from politically, and we should be

124
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: the first to call it out. I disagree, So as

125
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: you listen to those and think about it. I thought

126
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: at the time they were crazy. I still think the Christians.

127
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: I totally condemn what happened at the Capitol. I think

128
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: that we have to, in fact move in the opposite

129
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: direction and say we're not going to tolerate any level

130
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: of violence anywhere. That means not only no violence in

131
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: the US capital, it means no violence in Portland, orient

132
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: no violence in Seattle. It means no violence in Milwaukee,

133
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: no violence in Baltimore. We're not currently anywhere near that.

134
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: In fact, thanks to George Soros helping locally district attorneys,

135
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: we have an entire new model where the innocent victim

136
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: is not protected, but the guilty criminal is protected. Those

137
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: are this sort of stuff that leads to exactly what

138
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: we're currently seeing, which is a massive increase the number

139
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: of people being killed in this country. So you have

140
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: individual kinds of violence called crime, then you have political

141
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: violence called riots, almost all of which have been by

142
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: left wing groups, and almost all of which have been

143
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: frankly protected, covered up, minimized by the news meeting, including

144
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: the Associated Press, which changed its definition so that you

145
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 1: wouldn't use the word riot and instead it would be

146
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: a disturbance. And that's the framework that ended up with

147
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: the US capital this week. And that does not justify

148
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: a single thing that was done, but it explains the

149
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: context in which people were stunned. And now, of course

150
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: it's gotten big enough and close enough to the heart

151
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: of our system, but suddenly people are starting to back up.

152
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: The reason I use the term bipartisan Bologney is I've

153
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: been through this so many times in my life. There's

154
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: a brief crisis for a few days. The left pretends

155
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 1: it really wants to work together, but what it really

156
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: means is they'd like us to surren So let me

157
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: give you just a couple of examples. I believe that

158
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: if the Democrats wanted to prove they wanted to take

159
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: a step towards bipartisanship, they could reverse the rules that

160
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: they just adopted. And the new Congress, Nancy Pelosi, for

161
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: the very narrow margin, has changed the rules in three

162
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: ways that are deeply offensive to the Republicans. First, she's

163
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: taken away the rights of a motion to recommit, which

164
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: was a specific advantage of the minority party, whether Democrats

165
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: or Republicans. When I was a speaker, the Democrats got

166
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: to use the motion to recommit. But what it said

167
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: was that when a bill came to the floor, the

168
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 1: minority had an opportunity to pick one piece of the

169
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: bill and force a vote on. And of course the

170
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: reason the majority hates that is you pick something which

171
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: will be very painful for some of their members back home,

172
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: something that they can explained very easily. So the Pelosi

173
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: answer is eliminated, taken away from the minority. Republicans no

174
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 1: longer can do that. The second thing they did is

175
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: they created a whole new waiver so that instead of

176
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: having to offset increased spending, as long as the speaker

177
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: designated it as environmentally useful green spending if you will,

178
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be an offset at home. So

179
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: now but a whole new zone to have literally billions

180
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: of dollars of spending with no offsets, no need to

181
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: find other revenue, just a payoff basically to the left.

182
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: And then third, they've adopted this utterly insane provision that

183
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: twenty nine key words will no longer be used. Those

184
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: are all words that relate to gender. It's an effort,

185
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: I think, to create gender security for their radical Nancy

186
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: Posey's website, the last I checked, still describes her as

187
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: a mother and grandmother. Let me disappear, somebody ask me today,

188
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: so what do we call mother Teresa now? Under the

189
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: House rules? But the point is nobody on the Republican

190
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: side would have adopted that, and I suspect most of

191
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 1: the Democrats didn't realize they were adopting it because it's nutty.

192
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: So if they wanted to prove they were sitting bipartisanship,

193
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: they could simply go back to the rules as they

194
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: were last year, which gave the Republicans emotion to recommit

195
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 1: to try to target specific amendments, guarantee that any additional

196
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: spending on the left had to be offset and used

197
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: common English like brother, sister, cousin, uncle, and the stuff

198
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: truly is madness. I rise to urge adoption of the

199
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: Rules Package for the one hundred seventeenth Congress. This package

200
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: includes innovative proposals to modernize the House and facilitate good

201
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: policy making. I applaud the inclusion of gender neutral language

202
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: that embraces all gender identities and reflects that this chamber

203
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: is not just a man's world anymore. Now, I guarantee

204
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: you if Kevin mccarthur next week gets up and says

205
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: I move and interest of bipartisanship that we revert to

206
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: standard English, that he will not be given a vote

207
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: by Nancy Pelosi, because when she says bipartisan, she means

208
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: she dictates we surrender. That's their version of bipartisanship. Now, similarly,

209
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: both Pelosi and Schumer auditors be quiet about Trump. Trump

210
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: has already said publicly he's going to leave. There's going

211
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: to be a peaceful transition. Now Congress has certified the results.

212
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 1: A new administration will be inaugurated on January twentieth. My

213
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: focus now turns to ensuring a smooth, orderly, and seamless

214
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: transition of power. They've already said I had a message

215
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: to all of the presidential appointees that they need to

216
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: resign by the twentieth of January. They're actively working to

217
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: help Biden with the transition to now go after Trump,

218
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: and frankly, you can virtually count after the bipartisan conferences

219
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: are over that the Democrats will do everything they can

220
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,599
Speaker 1: to make Trump's life miserable once he's no longer in

221
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: the presidence. They're not going to leave him alone the

222
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 1: way we left Clinton, or, for that matter, the way

223
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: we left Jimmy Carter, the way Ronald Reagan was left

224
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: alone to J. W. Bush was left alone. No, this

225
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: will be something we've never seen in American politics. This

226
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: will be a deliberate effort to destroy somebody because you

227
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: politically disagree with him, even after they left power, and

228
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: yet they will scream bipartisanship precisely as they developed these

229
00:14:40,200 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: kinds of plans to destroy the president United States. I'm

230
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: not at all enamored of the current babble the news media,

231
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: which is astonishingly hypocritic. He's quite willing to say that

232
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: left wing violence is reasonable, but that this other stuff

233
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: is really terrible. I have to say, when I saw

234
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: the Zuckerberg had canceled the President of States has access

235
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: to Facebook, I really had to ask myself, who does

236
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: he think he is. He's not king, He's not the

237
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: person who should be able to dictate that the elected

238
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: president of States, a man who just got seventy four

239
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: million votes can't communicate, And yet again he would say, oh,

240
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: I really want to be bipartisan. To notice what their

241
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: version of bipartisan is. You use their language on their

242
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: terms about topics that they approve, and if you don't,

243
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: they cut you off, even if you are the president

244
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: of the United States. So I think we have to

245
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: be honest. Where I think at a really deep crossroads,

246
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: and I think all of us were jarred deeply by

247
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: what happened in the capital. I know I felt some

248
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: combination of being physically sick to see the chair I

249
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: used to sit in occupied by thugs and barbarians and

250
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: people who should be in jail and I hope will

251
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: be in jail. I was enraged the people would do

252
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: that to the United States Capital, which is the center

253
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: of freedom on the planet. And I'm still to this

254
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: day very angry, and I really hope every single one

255
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: of them will be tracked down based on video, and

256
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: then we'll be tried and whenever possible, sent to jail.

257
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: Very straightforward, and certainly the people who are involved in

258
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: killing the policeman should be charged with murder, because we

259
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: have to decide we're going to protect the people who

260
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: protect us, and that policemen deserved the support of the community.

261
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: So I think all of us are horrified by that. However,

262
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: what worries me is that in the midst of that,

263
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: that'll be used once again by the LA as an

264
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: excuse to tell the rest of us to shut up,

265
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: and if you don't shut up, you must be a

266
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: bad person, and you must be like those people. We're not.

267
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: There's seventy four million people who voted for Donald J. Trump,

268
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: many of them because they're sick of the bureaucracy. They're

269
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 1: sick of the petty dictatorships, they're sick of the incompetence.

270
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: When you read that Governor Cuomo sent people with COVID

271
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: back into the nursing homes and thousands died because the

272
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: governor's actions. When you read that in southern California, they've

273
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: so mismanaged the health system that ambulance has been told

274
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: don't bring people to the hospital if they're dying, because

275
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: you don't have any space for them. This ridge is

276
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: on the collapse of civilization as we know it. And certainly,

277
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: if you look at the map that's available online that

278
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: shows you where feces are around the city of San Francisco,

279
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: you do get a sense that things are just falling apart.

280
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: So I think there were still in a row crisis,

281
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: and I think this is going to be a great

282
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: moment of defining for President elect Joe Biden. Biden gave

283
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: a nice speech to the night. I thought it was

284
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: actually very positive. He has good speech writers, and I

285
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 1: thought that he did about as good a job as

286
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: you could in that moment. Now he has a choice.

287
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: He's in a crossroads. He can reach out and say

288
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: to Pelosi, I would like you to return to last

289
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: year's rules for the House, and I'd like you to

290
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: try to find a way to sit out with Kevin

291
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: McCarthy and actually have bipartisan conversations. No more talk of

292
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 1: the twenty fifth Amendment, no more talk of getting Trump

293
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: out before an Augue Old Day, no more talk about

294
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: a possible impeachment. And since it's going to be a

295
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: fifty fifty Senate with the decisive vote being Vice President

296
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, they don't exactly have a huge launch. President

297
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: Biden might decide that he actually wants to sit out

298
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 1: and talk with his old friend Mitch McConnell and actually

299
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: have some meetings that are genuinely bipartisan. He might decide

300
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: he wants to bring in Kevin McCarthy as well as

301
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi and actually meetings that are genuinely bipartisan. I

302
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: will believe that it's not bipartisan bologne if we see

303
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: real acts that involve real change on the left. It

304
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: is not going to satisfy me to be told that

305
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: bipartisan means Conservatives have to surrender in order to appease

306
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: and please the news media and the power structure of

307
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: the left. And so I just wanted to spend these

308
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: human sharements with you because I think it's very important

309
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: not to allow seventy four million people to be smeared,

310
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: and not to allow a movement which has been growing

311
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 1: steadily from gold Water through Reagan, through the Contract with America,

312
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: through the Trump administration, not allow that movement to be

313
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 1: browbeaten and forced to give up its core principles just

314
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: to appease people who deep down, deeply, deeply disliked. So

315
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: I hope this is actually bipartisan reality. I suspect it

316
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: is bipartisan belogning, but we'll know in the next week

317
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: or two, and we'll see what President Biden does and

318
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: which road he chooses. If he wants to be bipartisan,

319
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 1: I think you'll find many of us will in fact

320
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: try to work with him because the country has to

321
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 1: move forward. But if he's determined to talk bipartisan while

322
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: acting entirely partisan, he should not expect us to be

323
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: so dumb that we have to fall forward. He gets

324
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: to cheese, and then we get to cheese after we

325
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: watch him, and I hope that he will join me

326
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: and turning down any bipartisan belogning offering genuine bipartisanship. We're

327
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: doing it in a way that we will cooperate, but

328
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 1: we will not surrender, and that has to be the

329
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: base of how we move forward. News World is produced
