This soft handed 7 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: boy who grew into such a rotten man, a grifter, 8 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:42,840 Speaker 1: a fraud who ran fake charities, a low man who 9 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: has never given anything to anyone at any moment ever. 10 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: He is a taker's son who has become a taker. 11 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: The Trump family is a disgrace. What they are is 12 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: a conspiracy that is caring at America's civilization, at our 13 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: connection to one another as a country, as a people, 14 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: as a civilization.

This is the warning. Memorial 18 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: Day weekend, originally known as Decoration Day, is distinct from 19 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: Veterans Day in November.

Memorial Day 28 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: honors America's war dead, one million fallen who gave the 29 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: ultimate sacrifice to their nation what Abraham Lincoln so eloquently 30 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: called the last full measure of devotion each Memorial Day. 31 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: Because of the proximity of our recent wars and the 32 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: Middle East and Iraq and Afghanistan, Memorial Day is a 33 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: heartbreaking day. The twenty years long wars left families without 34 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: their mothers and fathers, spouses without their husbands and wives. 35 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: This is a day each year where the President of 36 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: the United States comes to one of the most sacred 37 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,399 Speaker 1: spaces in our republic, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, 38 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: to lay a wreath. All across the country there are commemorations, 39 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: and not just on American soil, but on those little 40 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: patches of the United States territory, in France, in Luxembourg 41 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: and Belgium, and the Philippines, all around the world where 42 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: America's fallen are buried. This day of remembrance makes what 43 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: Eric Trump did all the more incredible, all the more 44 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 1: remarkable on a weekend that is reserved for the memory 45 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: of those who gave to their nation their lives so 46 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: that we may be free. Eric Trump, the spoiled and 47 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: indulged son of the Donalds, tweeted this out along with 48 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: this picture. Before you ponder it, try and take in 49 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: the full majesty of its disgrace, the selfishness, the total 50 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: lack of awareness. This soft handed boy who grew into 51 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:09,119 Speaker 1: such a rotten man, a grifter, a fraud who ran 52 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: fake charities, a low man who has never given anything 53 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: to anyone at any moment ever. He is a taker's 54 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: son who has become a taker as a man. Eric 55 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: Trump has never given anything to anyone that did not 56 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: benefit him. Just like his father and his stepmother, his 57 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: brother in law Jared, his sister of Vanka, and his 58 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: brother Junior, they are all fruit from a rotten tree. 59 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: The Trump family is a disgrace. What they are is 60 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: a conspiracy that is tearing at America's civilization, at our 61 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: connection to one another as a country, as a people, 62 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: as a civilization. Donald Trump is the worst president in 63 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: American history bar none. His four years were a disaster, 64 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: and four more may well lead to World War III 65 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: in the ruination of the country. Millions and millions of 66 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: people could die because Donald Trump is ignorant and umb. 67 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is unfit psychologically, intellectually, morally to be the 68 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: commander in chief of America's armed forces, to be the 69 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: head of state of the United States, to sit behind 70 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: the president's desk. He is dangerous, and every American adversary 71 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: around the world understands that the path to America's weakness 72 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: and defenestration lies in the return of Donald Trump to 73 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: political power. The Chinese, the North Koreans, the Iranians, and 74 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: the Russians all understand that Donald Trump loaths the same 75 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: thing that they do, which is a strong, vibrant, multi 76 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 1: cultural America, bound together not by the lie of blood 77 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: and soil nationalism, but the power of a resplendent idea 78 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: that all men are created equal and now by a 79 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: creator with life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as 80 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: the goal of society. Now it has always been the 81 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: case that America has not lived up to its hieh 82 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: a lofty goals. But that does not mean that the 83 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 1: purpose of America's public life should not be to achieve 84 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: them to reach the place that Martin Luther King foretold 85 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 1: from the mountaintop, which he briefly saw at the edge 86 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: of his life, and that he shared in his last address. 87 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: Listen to these words, and. 88 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 2: He has allowed me to go up to the mountain love. 89 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: Look over, and. 90 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 2: I've seen the promised land. I may not get there 91 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 2: with you, but I want you to know the night 92 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 2: and we as a people will get to the promise land. 93 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: I'm heap of the night. 94 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 2: I'm not worry about anything. I'm not fearing in a man. 95 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 2: My eyes have seen the glory of the coming of 96 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 2: them all. 97 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: This is one of the most optimistic speeches in American history. 98 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: It tells of a promise yet fulfilled, that will be 99 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: if we stay the course. The course is in the 100 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: service of a great cause. Freedom, liberty for us, for 101 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: our children, for their children. As far into the future 102 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: as we can imagine the existence of America, which will 103 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: soon be two hundred and fifty years old, sacrifice that 104 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: has ever been made will one day have been rendered 105 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: in vain. If the American experiment ends, if it falters, 106 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: if it fails, if it disappears, if it is erased. 107 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: The purpose of freedom in America was never to be 108 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: enjoyed by the founders who achieved it or the generation 109 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: that expanded it by crushing the slave autocracy on North 110 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: American soil. The fruits of freedom for everybody disappear for 111 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: all time. If America disappears, if the idea of America evaporates, 112 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: if the construct that holds none of us are above 113 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: the law, that a constitution is the supreme law of 114 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: the land that makes all of us equal under the law. 115 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: If that idea falls away, if it fails, if it ends, 116 00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: then every sacrifice that was aimed at building a republic 117 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: that would endure will have been for nothing. What the 118 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 1: Trump family represents is taking. It's addition, what Eric Trump 119 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: stands for is power for himself and for his family, 120 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: not for you. He's not on your side, and neither 121 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: is Donald Trump. They are agents of chaos and violence 122 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: in Mayhem. Look what they did on January sixth, when 123 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: they lost an election. Think about the suicides of the 124 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: police officers whose lives were ruined and upended. And think 125 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: about the damage the chaos to their families, to everybody 126 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: left behind by this madness unleashed by these people, these Trumps, 127 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: the lowest of the low criminals. Eric Trump has never 128 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 1: given anything to anybody, nothing he pretended to when he 129 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 1: ran fake charities. He's a disgrace, a grifter, somebody who's 130 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: done violence to his country. Shame on him, Shame on them, 131 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: and shame on him for this quote. A Memorial Day 132 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 1: week when America honors the million dead who gave the 133 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: last full measure of devotion. There are many low quotes, dishonest, mean, cruel, racist, 134 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: but there will never be on a Memorial Day weekend. 135 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: Won this shallow, this stupid, and this untrue.
