That it is 11 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 2: from Saudi Arabia that fifteen of the nineteen nine to 12 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 2: eleven hijackers came and murdered almost three thousand Americans. He 13 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 2: has as much indifference for that day as he does 14 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 2: for the only day in the twenty first century that 15 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 2: exceeds it in terms of mayhem. 16 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: And chaos and lasting damage. 17 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 2: And that, of course, is the second grade attack on 18 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 2: the United States that took place in the twenty first century, 19 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 2: the attack on the sixth of January twenty twenty one, 20 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 2: when Donald Trump, with his lies, with his insanity, sent 21 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 2: a mob to burn down American democracy in the Capitol 22 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 2: and when he pardoned those criminals and declared they were patriots, 23 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 2: he set the stage for the third grade assault on 24 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 2: the United States government in the twenty first century, the 25 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 2: one led by the richest man in the world, a 26 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 2: pre eminent source of evil in the world. As Bill 27 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 2: Gates properly called him out, the richest man in the 28 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 2: world has taken unto himself, the powers to kill the 29 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 2: poorest children in the world. 30 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,239 Speaker 1: And that's who Elon Musk is. 31 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 2: And there they sit together, a corrupt accumulation of power 32 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 2: that does not believe in freedom, that does not believe 33 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 2: in liberty. And what Donald Trump is doing, surrounded by 34 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 2: some of the wealthiest and most powerful CEOs in the country, 35 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 2: is selling off the United States to the highest Arab bidder. 36 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: And along the way he. 37 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 2: Is collecting bribe after bribe after bribe after bribe, including 38 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 2: the most ludicrous of all in the entire history of 39 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 2: the United States, the unconstitutional and illegal granting of a 40 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 2: four hundred million dollar airplane that might as well be 41 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 2: done Thomas won by the terror sponsors in Qatar. Now 42 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:11,639 Speaker 2: let's talk about that plane, but first let's understand the 43 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 2: hyper drive of efforts by propagandists like Sean Hannity and 44 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 2: fau lawyers like the wretched Pam Bondi, who explained it's 45 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 2: both proper and it's legal, and it's not no matter 46 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:32,839 Speaker 2: how much ludicrousness is dished out. Now, understand something when 47 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 2: you hear both of them is that during the nineteen thirties, 48 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 2: everything that the Nazis did was legal according to them. 49 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 2: They were assiduous about declaring that each action, each unlawful act, 50 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 2: was in fact legal. 51 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: It was fundamental to who they were. 52 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 2: And it seems that nothing has changed between eight decades 53 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 2: when it comes to the fashion just demand self satisfying, 54 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 2: demand that they call their theft legal while calling honest 55 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 2: people criminals. 56 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 3: Let's watch party of your argument how the United States 57 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 3: has paid untold billions and trillions of dollars securing every 58 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 3: aspect of the world. 59 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 4: I said that, I said, you know, we've secured that 60 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,679 Speaker 4: part of the world for many years. So if somebody 61 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 4: makes a gift, I'm not getting I get nothing. I 62 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 4: get to fly it like any other president would. Ultimately, 63 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 4: it'll be at the end of its lifetime or at 64 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 4: the end of the term, because we're going to have 65 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 4: the other ones in by that, so. 66 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 3: The US has kind of given them gifts. It's called 67 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 3: national defense. 68 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 5: Yeah. 69 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 2: Well, now, personally, I don't believe Donald Trump will ever 70 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,119 Speaker 2: fly a mile on this airplane, but I could be wrong. 71 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 2: Now it raises the question, though, about what is to 72 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,359 Speaker 2: happen to the airplane, and that opens the door to 73 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 2: a different type of question, a fundamental strategic question about 74 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,919 Speaker 2: what is it that the Democratic Party is to stand for, 75 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 2: what is it that the. 76 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: Democratic Party believes? 77 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,679 Speaker 2: And maybe in dealing with the hypothetical of what would 78 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 2: happen to that airplane if in fact it was delivered 79 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 2: and Donald Trump tried to take it to an air 80 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 2: force base where it would then go to his library, 81 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 2: or since libraries don't fly, it would go to him 82 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 2: where he would fly around the world on it and 83 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 2: his post presidency. 84 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: Let's imagine, let's. 85 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 2: Think about Oh, let's call it project twenty twenty nine, 86 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 2: and Project twenty twenty nine is we. 87 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 1: Think about it? 88 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 2: Maybe ought to be thought about as the blueprint for 89 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 2: the restoration of democracy, to the restoration of law in 90 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 2: the United State, specifically the rule of law, the rejection 91 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 2: of the absurd notion that America should have a king 92 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 2: or an emperor or a caesar or a dictator, and 93 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 2: the notion that there is nobody above the president, who 94 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 2: exists as a king, above the law, above the constitution, 95 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 2: who can do what he wants, take from whomever he likes, 96 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 2: because well, he won an election with forty nine point 97 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 2: nine percent of the votes if I understand the proposition accurately, 98 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 2: So we should imagine what happens to the airplane starting 99 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 2: with its seizure from whatever air Force base. And what 100 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 2: I think should be done with that plane is it 101 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 2: should be towed to the water's edge and loaded onto 102 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 2: a barge, and it ought to be taken out to 103 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 2: the waters off of mar A Lago and dumped into 104 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 2: the Atlantic Ocean where it can become an artificial reef 105 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 2: for many happy fish. And I think it would be 106 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,359 Speaker 2: great to essablish a program for low income children that 107 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 2: could come and learn to dive off of the beautiful 108 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 2: artificial reef off of Mara Lago and they can be 109 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 2: taught character education, specifically when they grow up to not 110 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 2: be like the man that assaulted the United States of 111 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 2: America and tried to turn the Constitution into ashes. But 112 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 2: what is the plan exactly for Democrats? 113 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: In this moment. 114 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 2: Who just yesterday, a day after Trump said that he 115 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 2: would take the plane from the Kataris, thought it was 116 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 2: a good idea to confirm his new Secretary of the 117 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 2: Air Force, who would confirm the transfer by a vote 118 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 2: of seventy five to twenty four. Chuck Schumer appeared on CNN, 119 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 2: and when we think about corruption, we should think about 120 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 2: it fully. 121 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: We should think about it totally. 122 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 2: We should think about it in its full glory so 123 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 2: we can appreciate how it is that we arrived at 124 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 2: this moment. Chuck shu Or was asked a question that 125 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 2: deserves an answer, even if the person who's asking the 126 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 2: question was very much part of the problem, part of 127 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 2: the national gaslighting, part of the cover up, just like 128 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 2: the person who wrote the book. Jake Tapper, who ludicrously 129 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 2: tonight is in Washington, DC being fetted by his fellow 130 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 2: journalists for being a man of courage for writing about 131 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 2: the Biden gaslighting that he did so much as part 132 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 2: of from his anchorchair. And yes, there are a couple 133 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 2: of questions that Jake Tapper threw out from his daily perch, 134 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 2: but not many. And if Jake Capper thinks he's a 135 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 2: man of courage writing this book dealing with the obvious 136 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 2: that he would not deal with while it was happening 137 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 2: in front of his face. Then it helps me understand 138 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 2: and should absolutely help you understand a bit more clearly 139 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 2: of how we got here. But at any rate, Casey 140 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 2: Hunt isn't running the country. She just talks to the 141 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 2: people that do. So what matters here is is so 142 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 2: much her lack of credibility to ask the question it is. 143 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer's answer to it is moving forward. 144 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 5: Did you really not have any idea that he was 145 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 5: not fit to serve a second term? 146 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: Casey, We're looking forward. 147 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 2: We have the largest medicaid cut in front of us, 148 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 2: we have the cull federal government. 149 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 5: Tell because you lost a presidential election, and is that 150 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 5: not Joe Biden's responsibility for deciding to run again. 151 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 2: We're looking forward, that's the answer, And so that's the offer. 152 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,719 Speaker 2: In order to stop Trump, Chuck Schumer demands we all 153 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 2: the rest of us must submit to his gas lighting, 154 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 2: forgive it, move on, when in fact, that gas lighting 155 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 2: is the cause of the insanity at hand, the corruption 156 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 2: at hand. 157 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: They let this. 158 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 2: Happen, and now they demand absolutely license to tell us 159 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 2: all the rest of us who saw it coming and 160 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 2: tried to stop it, that no, we can speak of 161 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 2: this no more. That we can't talk about it going forward, 162 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 2: and we have to pretend that it didn't happen, so 163 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 2: we can be lined up to lose another election to 164 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 2: the most dangerous forces that have assembled in America since 165 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,719 Speaker 2: the Civil War. It is morally outrageous, and it is 166 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 2: politically unacceptable, and it is the fundamental reason why we 167 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 2: have arrived in this hour, at this transcendent moment of danger. 168 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 2: And I'm going to read just two paragraphs of what 169 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 2: that danger is and what this moment is from the 170 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 2: pen of Federal Judge Michael lud a man of. 171 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: Integrity and one of the four. 172 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 2: Most constitutional scholars, defenders, jurists, and thinkers of our aim 173 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 2: which thus far Trump's presidency has been a reign of 174 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 2: lawless aggression by a tyrannical wannabe king, a rampage of 175 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 2: presidential lawlessness in which Trump has profoundly wielded the powers 176 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 2: of the office in the federal government to persecute his enemies, 177 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 2: while at the same time pardoning, glorifying, and favoring his 178 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 2: political allies and friends, among them those who attacked the 179 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 2: US capital during the insurrection that Trump fomented on sixth 180 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 2: January twenty twenty one. The President's utter contempt for the 181 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 2: constitution and laws of the United States has been on 182 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 2: spectacular display since Inauguration Day.

Our system of 186 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 2: checks and balances has been strained before, but democracy, government 187 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,959 Speaker 2: by the people, and the rule of law have always 188 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 2: won the day.
