1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,120 Speaker 1: It is January twenty seventh, twenty twenty five. This is 2 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 1: a monumental day in world history. This is the warning 3 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: at slightly passed the midnight hour. Eighty years ago, Soviet 4 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: scouts penetrated the first subcamp. By three pm, they stood 5 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: in the middle of Auschwitz, dumbfounded. This past weekend, Elon 6 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: Musk appeared before Germany's far right party and he was 7 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: there to offer not just encouragement but absolution. 8 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,880 Speaker 2: You know, I think there's, like thranky, too much of 9 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 2: a focus on past guilt, and we need to move 10 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 2: beyond that. People children should not be guilty of the 11 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 2: sense of their parents, or even learn on their parents, 12 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 2: their great grandparents maybe even and we should we should 13 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 2: be optimistic and excited about a future for Germany and 14 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 2: any messages excited and Brazil, German culture and protect the 15 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 2: German people. 16 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: Elon Musk has declared that it is time for Germany 17 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: to put the guilt down to move forward into the 18 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: brave new world. But Elon Musk has called for forgetting 19 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: my friends. Elon Musk did not call for forgiveness. He 20 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: called for the absolution of the crimes by amnesia. And 21 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: this is another hearkening of evil, and make no doubt 22 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: about it, it is precisely what it is. Donald Trump, 23 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: on his first weekend spark diplomatic crises with Mexico, with Colombia, 24 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: with Brazil, with Egypt, with Jordan, with Saudi Arabia. He 25 00:01:53,960 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: talked about depopulating completely millions of Palestinians, sending them off 26 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: into permanent exile in Egypt and in Jordan. Meanwhile, he 27 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: launched the Trump Taxi Service, or board US Air Force jets, 28 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: the most expensive commuter flights in world history. Here defenseless people, 29 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: un armed, harmless unless there is something that we have 30 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 1: not been told, chained and herded onto airplanes by men 31 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: and women wearing an American flag on their shoulder, without food, 32 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: without water, in chains on the order of Trump, on 33 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:45,639 Speaker 1: planes commanded by Peter hegsaf off the immigrants. When Jared Kushner, 34 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: when it comes to Gaza, has made clear it's a 35 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: jewel in his mind's eye, the Trump organization, well, all 36 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: that waterfront property. It's just like the plot from Superman 37 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: the movie, except there's no Gene Hackman starring as Lex Luthor. 38 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: Let us step back a bit. There was a shameful 39 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: moment in this country. Let's be clear about something. The 40 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: founders of the United States of America created balance in 41 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: our system of government with a United States Senate, which 42 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: stands at one hundred members elected directly. Since the early 43 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: days of the twentieth century, it was called the greatest 44 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: deliberative body in the world. It wasn't just respected all 45 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: over planet Earth. Every country on Earth sought to emulate it. 46 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: And then it was wrecked by a niolist and a vandal. 47 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: Who on that day when he crosses the river, should 48 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: he make it to Heaven's judgment, he might meet George 49 00:03:54,720 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: Washington and Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry and James Madison 50 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: and an Alexander Hamilton, And my God, will they disdain 51 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell. He is the man who pissed on the 52 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: genius of what they designed and what they gave us. 53 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell is the man who wrecked the United States Senate, 54 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: and in some large measure, he also wrecked the American 55 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: media by exposing their corruption. How many stories have there 56 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: been written by how many corrupt political reporters hailing the 57 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 1: genius of Mitch McConnell, while in fact they should have 58 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 1: been reporting on his consistent, NonStop vandalizing of the institution 59 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: that he claims to love, but he beat like an 60 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: abuser does his spouse, stripping her of dignity and agency 61 00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: with a closed, cruel fist of abuse. Mitch McConnell, in 62 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: the end, voted against the most unfit man ever nominated 63 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: for a position of responsibility regarding America's national security, a 64 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: moral position with which comes the trust of the American 65 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: people for their sons and their daughters that we might 66 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: send into harm's way. And when Mitch McConnell made that vote, 67 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 1: who followed Mitch, the great leader of the Senate, the 68 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: great Republican icon, the genius so long celebrated. Who followed 69 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell. No freaking body, no one. Pathetic doesn't begin 70 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: to describe it. And so it is on this Monday morning, 71 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: sitting atop a command structure that involves more than five 72 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: thousand nuclear weapons, is this buffoon festooned with white Christian 73 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: nationalists tattoos the Secretary of Defense, a man so degenerate 74 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: that he would be disqualified from setting foot as an 75 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: enlisted sailor on a ballistic missile submarine. And yet he 76 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: sits atop a trillion dollar organization, the most lethal in 77 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 1: the world, the defense minister of Earth's most powerful nation, 78 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 1: when he doesn't have the qualifications to run elemonade stand 79 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: and the people who let this happen, they have the 80 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 1: word senator in front of their name. Who is more 81 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 1: despicable in this story? Is it this man, Mitch McConnell, 82 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 1: or is it this one, Chuck Schumer? Has anyone ever 83 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: seen a more supine politician and appeaser of higher caliber, 84 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: A quiescent man in an hour of crisis, a hollow 85 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,799 Speaker 1: figure in a momentous hour. What is it that will 86 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: induce Chuck Schumer to stand up and speak?
