1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:06,080 Speaker 1: This is the morning. There is a question. It's about history. 2 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:11,039 Speaker 1: We get fuzzy on the dates in the years when 3 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:15,320 Speaker 1: things occur. You think about, for example, the Battle of 4 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: Yorktown where American independence was won. What year was it, 5 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: seventeen eighty one, seventeen eighty three, seventeen eighty five. Well, 6 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: it was a long time ago, right, And when things 7 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: are a long time ago, it's understandable we lose track 8 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: of the year, sometimes even the decade, and so on 9 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,199 Speaker 1: that edge, things get blurry. York Town, by the way, 10 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: was in seventeen eighty one, and this is important because 11 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: that year filled with trial and tribulation, just like the 12 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 1: year of nineteen forty two is exactly the same length 13 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: as this year, same number of days, same number of hours, 14 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 1: and every day. And so let's turned the clock way back. 15 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 1: Rome was a republic and then it wasn't. But what 16 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 1: was the instant that Rome went from republic to empire? 17 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: When did the republic fall? What was the moment? The 18 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: instant today the hour we don't even necessarily recall precisely 19 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: in the common space the century properly, But what happened 20 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: was the collapse of the Senate, and so in that 21 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 1: contemporary moment, there would have been an instant of recognition, 22 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: though not broadcast around the world obviously on a signal 23 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: carried by satellites orbiting in space to thousands or millions, or, 24 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: depending on CNN's audience, tens of thousands of screens. The 25 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: United States Senate was once known as the world's greatest 26 00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: deliberative body. Today it is a farce. It is filled 27 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: with unfit and immoral men and women. Weakness dominates, corruption 28 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: is pervasive, Hypocrisy is everywhere, and faithlessness to both the 29 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: ideas and ideals of the country. Evidence of this is 30 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: that this unfit drunker, Pete Hagsath, who's the Secretary of 31 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: Defense man, has been credibly accused of all manner of 32 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: behavior that would make his presence should he have been 33 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: a nineteen year old sailor unacceptable aboard a nuclear submarine. 34 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: Yet he sits at the top of the chain of command. 35 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: Now there are more hearings going on. The FBI is 36 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: a dangerous institution. It is an institution that was abused 37 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,959 Speaker 1: and used to abuse the American people at various times 38 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: during its long history. The noble g man who is 39 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: incorrupt is the figment of a movie producer, not real life. 40 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: Cash Ptel is a dangerous man who will be leading 41 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: a dangerous institution that will be abusing the rights of 42 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: the American people. Everybody knows this. Everybody who will vote 43 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: on Robert F. Kennedy knows how unfit he is. John F. 44 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: Kennedy's only living child. His cousin made a choice. She 45 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: chose her country over her family. Tried to tell us. Now, 46 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: Robert F. Kennedy doesn't know the difference between Medicare and Medicaid. 47 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 2: What is Medicare Part A A Medicare Part A is 48 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 2: mainly for primary care or physicians. And then so it. 49 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 3: Is about Medicare Part A is seniors coverage for impatient 50 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 3: hospital care. 51 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 2: Medicaid is paid for by the federal government. 52 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 4: I believe that you said it is fully paid for Medicaid. 53 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 2: In fact, sir, the States has a partnership. So you 54 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 2: were wrong yesterday. 55 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 4: So you're acknowledging that state and it was false. 56 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 2: Right, I misstated something. 57 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: Robert F. Kennedy wants to use this job to set 58 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: himself up to make a lot of money when it's 59 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: over on his side of the racket. On that side 60 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: of the court, road the plain of side. But Elizabeth 61 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 1: Warren understands the codependency. 62 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 3: There's a lot of ways that you can influence those 63 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 3: future lawsuits and pending lawsuits while you are secretary of HHS. 64 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 3: And I'm asking you to commit right now that you 65 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 3: will not take a financial stake in every one of 66 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 3: those lawsuits, so that what you do as secretary will 67 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 3: also benefit you financially down the line. 68 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 2: I'll comply with all the ethical guides. That's not the question. 69 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: Robert F. Kennedy has no idea what he's talking about. 70 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: We can look at it from this angle. 71 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 2: I know people, including members of my family, who've had 72 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 2: a much worse time getting off of SSR eyes than 73 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 2: they did than people have getting off heroin or this one. 74 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 2: Blacks need fewer eigens. 75 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 3: And this is so dangerous. 76 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 4: And mister Kennedy, with all due respect, that is so dangerous. 77 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 2: This one show me a single statement I made about science. 78 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 2: It is erroneous. 79 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you whoever does the staging of 80 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: these things. The Megan Kelly bit is weird. What it 81 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: reminds me ayes to Guy is of the TV series 82 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: V the original one with Delta Burke remember when she 83 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: ate the rodent, an incredible moment on television history in 84 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: the nineteen eighties. But I digressed too much, cash Ftel. 85 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: This guy's gonna be the FBI director. 86 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 4: Let's watch you promoted a COVID vaccine reversal or detoc supplement. 87 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 4: One scientist said, I quote, none of these substances in 88 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 4: any form would minimize side effects from a COVID nineteen 89 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 4: vaccine that is praying on innocent people. Did you perform 90 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 4: clinical trials before you made that claim? 91 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 2: I'm not a doctor, so now. 92 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,559 Speaker 3: And yes, mister Patel, did Donald Trump lose the twenty 93 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 3: twenty presidential election? Yes? 94 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 2: Or no. 95 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 4: President Biden's election was certified, he was sworn in, and 96 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 4: he served as the President of the United States. 97 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 2: And yes, are you familiar with mister Stu Peters Not 98 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 2: off the top of my head. You made eight. 99 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 4: Separate appearances on his podcast. He promoted outrageous conspiracy theories 100 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 4: and worked with a prominent neo Nazi. 101 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: Yes it's absurd, and yes it's a farce, but man, 102 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 1: is it a dangerous one. Donald Trump is picking really 103 00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: a creature cantina, a menagre of unfitness with a specific purpose, 104 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: which is to blow up everything and tell you when 105 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: everything's blown up, they had to do it to get DEI. 106 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: He wants to leave the government in shambles. Its service 107 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: is wrecked, its government employees fired, its delivery of services crippled. 108 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: We need no opposition in this country, and we need 109 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: it quick. We need it because Donald Trump is running amuck. 110 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: Soon he's going to be joined. The first weeks he's 111 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: spent alone with his staff, but he's filling in the government. 112 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: And we have every right to say no to his 113 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: worst detritus. And we have every right to have an 114 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: expectation from the United States senators that serve supposedly in 115 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: a coequal branch of government. Imagine in the Article one 116 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: portions of the US Constitution that they'll stop it because 117 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: they're supposed to be United States senators, not Donald Trump senators. 118 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: But the truth is, we got Donald Trump senators, and 119 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: we got corporate senators. We got schumercrats, but not many Democrats. 120 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: And man, would this be a good hour for some 121 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: old school Democrats like John Kennedy, like Franklin Roosevelt, who understood, 122 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: at the core the average ordinary American deserves to have 123 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: somebody not to lecture in yell at them, not to 124 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: castigate them, but to fight for them.
