Speaker 1: This is the morning. There is a question. It's about history.
Speaker 1: We get fuzzy on the dates in the years when
Speaker 1: things occur. You think about, for example, the Battle of
Speaker 1: Yorktown where American independence was won. What year was it,
Speaker 1: seventeen eighty one, seventeen eighty three, seventeen eighty five. Well,
Speaker 1: it was a long time ago, right, And when things
Speaker 1: are a long time ago, it's understandable we lose track
Speaker 1: of the year, sometimes even the decade, and so on
Speaker 1: that edge, things get blurry. York Town, by the way,
Speaker 1: was in seventeen eighty one, and this is important because
Speaker 1: that year filled with trial and tribulation, just like the
Speaker 1: year of nineteen forty two is exactly the same length
Speaker 1: as this year, same number of days, same number of hours,
Speaker 1: and every day. And so let's turned the clock way back.
Speaker 1: Rome was a republic and then it wasn't. But what
Speaker 1: was the instant that Rome went from republic to empire?
Speaker 1: When did the republic fall? What was the moment? The
Speaker 1: instant today the hour we don't even necessarily recall precisely
Speaker 1: in the common space the century properly, But what happened
Speaker 1: was the collapse of the Senate, and so in that
Speaker 1: contemporary moment, there would have been an instant of recognition,
Speaker 1: though not broadcast around the world obviously on a signal
Speaker 1: carried by satellites orbiting in space to thousands or millions, or,
Speaker 1: depending on CNN's audience, tens of thousands of screens. The
Speaker 1: United States Senate was once known as the world's greatest
Speaker 1: deliberative body. Today it is a farce. It is filled
Speaker 1: with unfit and immoral men and women. Weakness dominates, corruption
Speaker 1: is pervasive, Hypocrisy is everywhere, and faithlessness to both the
Speaker 1: ideas and ideals of the country. Evidence of this is
Speaker 1: that this unfit drunker, Pete Hagsath, who's the Secretary of
Speaker 1: Defense man, has been credibly accused of all manner of
Speaker 1: behavior that would make his presence should he have been
Speaker 1: a nineteen year old sailor unacceptable aboard a nuclear submarine.
Speaker 1: Yet he sits at the top of the chain of command.
Speaker 1: Now there are more hearings going on. The FBI is
Speaker 1: a dangerous institution. It is an institution that was abused
Speaker 1: and used to abuse the American people at various times
Speaker 1: during its long history. The noble g man who is
Speaker 1: incorrupt is the figment of a movie producer, not real life.
Speaker 1: Cash Ptel is a dangerous man who will be leading
Speaker 1: a dangerous institution that will be abusing the rights of
Speaker 1: the American people. Everybody knows this. Everybody who will vote
Speaker 1: on Robert F. Kennedy knows how unfit he is. John F.
Speaker 1: Kennedy's only living child. His cousin made a choice. She
Speaker 1: chose her country over her family. Tried to tell us. Now,
Speaker 1: Robert F. Kennedy doesn't know the difference between Medicare and Medicaid.
Speaker 2: What is Medicare Part A A Medicare Part A is
Speaker 2: mainly for primary care or physicians. And then so it.
Speaker 3: Is about Medicare Part A is seniors coverage for impatient
Speaker 3: hospital care.
Speaker 2: Medicaid is paid for by the federal government.
Speaker 4: I believe that you said it is fully paid for Medicaid.
Speaker 2: In fact, sir, the States has a partnership. So you
Speaker 2: were wrong yesterday.
Speaker 4: So you're acknowledging that state and it was false.
Speaker 2: Right, I misstated something.
Speaker 1: Robert F. Kennedy wants to use this job to set
Speaker 1: himself up to make a lot of money when it's
Speaker 1: over on his side of the racket. On that side
Speaker 1: of the court, road the plain of side. But Elizabeth
Speaker 1: Warren understands the codependency.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of ways that you can influence those
Speaker 3: future lawsuits and pending lawsuits while you are secretary of HHS.
Speaker 3: And I'm asking you to commit right now that you
Speaker 3: will not take a financial stake in every one of
Speaker 3: those lawsuits, so that what you do as secretary will
Speaker 3: also benefit you financially down the line.
Speaker 2: I'll comply with all the ethical guides. That's not the question.
Speaker 1: Robert F. Kennedy has no idea what he's talking about.
Speaker 1: We can look at it from this angle.
Speaker 2: I know people, including members of my family, who've had
Speaker 2: a much worse time getting off of SSR eyes than
Speaker 2: they did than people have getting off heroin or this one.
Speaker 2: Blacks need fewer eigens.
Speaker 3: And this is so dangerous.
Speaker 4: And mister Kennedy, with all due respect, that is so dangerous.
Speaker 2: This one show me a single statement I made about science.
Speaker 2: It is erroneous.
Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you whoever does the staging of
Speaker 1: these things. The Megan Kelly bit is weird. What it
Speaker 1: reminds me ayes to Guy is of the TV series
Speaker 1: V the original one with Delta Burke remember when she
Speaker 1: ate the rodent, an incredible moment on television history in
Speaker 1: the nineteen eighties. But I digressed too much, cash Ftel.
Speaker 1: This guy's gonna be the FBI director.
Speaker 4: Let's watch you promoted a COVID vaccine reversal or detoc supplement.
Speaker 4: One scientist said, I quote, none of these substances in
Speaker 4: any form would minimize side effects from a COVID nineteen
Speaker 4: vaccine that is praying on innocent people. Did you perform
Speaker 4: clinical trials before you made that claim?
Speaker 2: I'm not a doctor, so now.
Speaker 3: And yes, mister Patel, did Donald Trump lose the twenty
Speaker 3: twenty presidential election? Yes?
Speaker 2: Or no.
Speaker 4: President Biden's election was certified, he was sworn in, and
Speaker 4: he served as the President of the United States.
Speaker 2: And yes, are you familiar with mister Stu Peters Not
Speaker 2: off the top of my head. You made eight.
Speaker 4: Separate appearances on his podcast. He promoted outrageous conspiracy theories
Speaker 4: and worked with a prominent neo Nazi.
Speaker 1: Yes it's absurd, and yes it's a farce, but man,
Speaker 1: is it a dangerous one. Donald Trump is picking really
Speaker 1: a creature cantina, a menagre of unfitness with a specific purpose,
Speaker 1: which is to blow up everything and tell you when
Speaker 1: everything's blown up, they had to do it to get DEI.
Speaker 1: He wants to leave the government in shambles. Its service
Speaker 1: is wrecked, its government employees fired, its delivery of services crippled.
Speaker 1: We need no opposition in this country, and we need
Speaker 1: it quick. We need it because Donald Trump is running amuck.
Speaker 1: Soon he's going to be joined. The first weeks he's
Speaker 1: spent alone with his staff, but he's filling in the government.
Speaker 1: And we have every right to say no to his
Speaker 1: worst detritus. And we have every right to have an
Speaker 1: expectation from the United States senators that serve supposedly in
Speaker 1: a coequal branch of government. Imagine in the Article one
Speaker 1: portions of the US Constitution that they'll stop it because
Speaker 1: they're supposed to be United States senators, not Donald Trump senators.
Speaker 1: But the truth is, we got Donald Trump senators, and
Speaker 1: we got corporate senators. We got schumercrats, but not many Democrats.
Speaker 1: And man, would this be a good hour for some
Speaker 1: old school Democrats like John Kennedy, like Franklin Roosevelt, who understood,
Speaker 1: at the core the average ordinary American deserves to have
Speaker 1: somebody not to lecture in yell at them, not to
Speaker 1: castigate them, but to fight for them. This is the warning.
