1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: What the Republican Party did is eradicate and completely annihilate

2
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: generations of branding as the limited government Party the small

3
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: government party, because with the Arizona Supreme Court decision, what

4
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: was ratified is that the MAGA Party is the biggest

5
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: big government party America has ever had. It is everywhere.

6
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is everywhere. Its politicians are peering through the

7
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: bedroom window. They sit with you in the confessional, they're

8
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: in the delivery room. They're with you at all times, everywhere,

9
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: all the time. This is the warning. It is Friday,

10
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: April the twelfth, and there are two hundred and seven

11
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: days remaining until the American people choose our next commit

12
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: and are in chief. One. Twelve years ago this week,

13
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: the Titanic sets out from Southampton to New York. Its

14
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 1: captain would plow the ship at full speed into an

15
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: iceberg field on a moonless night, on the orders of

16
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: his company CEO. The icebergs are a head for the

17
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: American people, with plenty of time to see them. The

18
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: great question at hand is will we this week's hits

19
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: and misses? All right, let's go to the video table. Regt.

20
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: The Arizona Supreme Court dealt with the reversal of Roe

21
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: versus Wade caused by Donald Trump and the radical Republican

22
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: Magot Congress and the radical Supreme Court took the state's

23
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: abortion laws back to eighteen sixty four. It's quite incredible

24
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: to think about it. Just to put it into perspective,

25
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: Arizona wasn't even a state the forty eighth until nineteen twelve.

26
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: The first time that anybody even talked about a territory

27
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: of Arizona, which was a carved out piece of land

28
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: from the New Mexico Territory, was when Jefferson Davis claimed

29
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: it for the Confederacy in eighteen sixty two. The Union

30
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: the North. Abraham Lincoln followed suit the next year. This

31
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: matters because the abortion law affecting women in the state

32
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: of Arizona is now based on the laws and the

33
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: codes written in the territory a year after that, in

34
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: the year that Abraham Lincoln defeated General McClellan, in the

35
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: year that Sherman marched from Atlanta to the Sea. And

36
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: so Republicans have succeeded in their long term project of

37
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: overturning Row versus Wade. They have sent the issue back

38
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: to the states, and what they have created for America's

39
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: women is free states and oppressive states. In the oppressive

40
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: states like Arizona, women are second class citizens. They are

41
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: denied agency, They are denied access to healthcare, into necessary

42
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: medical procedures for their life, for their safety, for their

43
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: health in states like Arizona. In the states that oppress women,

44
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: politicians are in the delivery room. Politicians accompany a woman

45
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: into every meeting with their obgyn. There's a proverbial seat there.

46
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: For Lindsey Graham with regard to this entire situation and

47
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: taking women back to eighteen sixty four, there is a

48
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: flaw in the design as a strategic premise, an obvious

49
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 1: problem because since eighteen sixty four there have been some

50
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: advancements in American society towards the realization of the American ideal.

51
00:04:53,600 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: In eighteen sixty three, Abraham Lincoln reconsecrated the meaning of

52
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 1: the country's existence with the Gettysburg Address. He penned it

53
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: directly to a new creed found in the words of

54
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 1: the Declaration of Independence, that all men are created equal.

55
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: But today, in twenty twenty four, what that means is

56
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: all of us are men and women. But Republicans in

57
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: consigning women to a second class status, have done so

58
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: while women still retain the right to vote. And so

59
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: what happened in Arizona at a political level is probably

60
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: one of the great all time misses. Republicans thought they

61
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: caught the car, They thought they had given a gift

62
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: to their Christian nationalist base. They thought that they had

63
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: achieved the goal. But the achievement of that goal may

64
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 1: well be their undoing because most Americans, whether they be women,

65
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: mothers with daughters or men, fathers with daughters, husbands with wives,

66
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: brothers with sisters, do not want America's politicians risking the

67
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: lives of the women they love. It's nobody's business. These

68
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: are private decisions. And so what the Republican Party did

69
00:06:53,320 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 1: is eradicate and completely annihilate the generations of branding as

70
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: the limited government party the small government party, because with

71
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: the Arizona Supreme Court decision, what was ratified is that

72
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: the MAGA Party is the biggest big government party America

73
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: has ever had. It is everywhere, Donald Trump is everywhere.

74
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: It's politicians are peering through the bedroom window. They sit

75
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: with you in the confessional, they're in the delivery room,

76
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: they're with you at all times, everywhere, all the time.

77
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: But there is a remedy because in America we still

78
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,679
Speaker 1: live in a democracy, at least for a while longer.

79
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: So this November, America's women can say something, and they

80
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: can shout, and they can make a choice, and they

81
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: can choose to put a stop to this madness, and

82
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: they can say, from the free States to the oppressed

83
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: women in the oppression zone of America, that we see them,

84
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: we hear them, we stand with them, and we will

85
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: fight with them, and we will do everything we can

86
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: to prevent the block of politicians who want to strip

87
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: away their rights from ever coming back to power at

88
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: the head of a fascist cause that seeks to tear

89
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: down democracy in America. So for the miss of the week,

90
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: it goes to the Arizona Supreme Court into the Maga

91
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: dog for catching the car. What you have unleashed is

92
00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: a great tsunami, a wrath of America's women who who

93
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: come November are coming for all of you who seek

94
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: to take women from the third decade of the twenty

95
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 1: first century to the sixth in the nineteenth No way,

96
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 1: no thanks, please stop, But since you won't, you'll be

97
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: voted out. A few weeks back, I wrote a post

98
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: at the Warning talking about the lack of state dinners

99
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: and the fact that this country needs more of them

100
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: to show the world that the American people support the

101
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: alliances that maintain our security and our prosperity. This is

102
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: so important. All over the world, there are scores of

103
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: hundreds of millions that look to the United States of

104
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: America with awe and admiration and yes, sometimes jealousy and

105
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: resentments and even appropriate grievance. We can be heavy handed

106
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: and clumsy footed, but there is a simple truth. There

107
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: has never been a country like the United States. And

108
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: what the MAGA movement stands for at its core is

109
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: a promise to tear down the world as it has been,

110
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: to undo America's central role in it. What MAGA says

111
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: is America can be an island, a part alone, a

112
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: planet floating in space, detached from all the other peoples,

113
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: all the other nations. This is delusional, it's dishonest, it's

114
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 1: a lie. You can go to dozens of airports across

115
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: America and get on an airplane and fly across the world,

116
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: land in Dubai or Warsaw, Berlin, Rio, Tokyo, Beijing, within

117
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: a day's time. Global trade is interconnected. The world is

118
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: wired together. Above us, tens of thousands of satellites are

119
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: in perpetual orbit, constantly ceaselessly connecting all of US eight

120
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: billion of US together. The system the guarantees our safety,

121
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: our freedom, our liberty is the rule of law that

122
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 1: comes from democracy. And this week, though it wasn't part

123
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: of the Maga insanity, something of profound importance happened. President

124
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: Biden is strengthening America's alliances at the exact hour Donald

125
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: Trump and his Maga fascist cause is undermining alliances by

126
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: promising Vladimir Putin a green light to invade Europe. Of course,

127
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: this sends an important signal to one of Putin's allies,

128
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 1: the menacing Chinese, who are in the middle of the

129
00:12:54,840 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: largest and fastest military expansion in world history but at

130
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: least since the Nazis of the nineteen thirties. The Chinese

131
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: are building an aggressive, expansionist military capability to dominate the

132
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: South Pacific. But the good news is the United States,

133
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: which has been a Pacific power since the nineteenth century,

134
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: is not alone. And this week at the White House,

135
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: President Biden showed competence, strength, endurance vision and the majesty

136
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: of the American presidency. And he did it without ever

137
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: leaving home. He did it with a summit. If the

138
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 1: president is going to campaign using a rose garden strategy,

139
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: this is what it must look like. It must be

140
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: big and daring. This week, President Biden hosted President Ferdinand

141
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: Marcos Junior of the Philippines and Prime Minister Kashida of Japan.

142
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: These two leaders make up two of the most important

143
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: nations in a vital string of alliances that stretch across

144
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:31,359
Speaker 1: the Pacific Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Japan, South Korea,

145
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: Singapore and more. These nations believe in a rules based

146
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: system of prosperity. There is liberty and freedom and human

147
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: rights are respected. There is an alternative vision. It's aggressive

148
00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: and dark. It is the the growth of the philosophies

149
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: that led to the disasters of the twentieth century, for

150
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: which we have no excuse not to remember and not

151
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: to be warned about. This is a moment of grave

152
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: danger in the world. As I make this recording, it

153
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: is said that the Iranians will attack Israel, according to

154
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: American intelligence estimates, within the next forty eight hours. The

155
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: possibility of there being a regional war in the Middle

156
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: East stands at its highest probability at this precise moment.

157
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: The war in Europe has already killed more than half

158
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: a million people. Ancient cities once again stand in total ruin.

159
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: They look no different than European cities looked at the

160
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: end of the Second World War or at the end

161
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: of the war in Sarajevo. It's unacceptable, but this week

162
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: there was a tribute to freedom, to shared values, to

163
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: human possibility. The Japanese Prime Minister and the President of

164
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: the United States, within the span of the human lifetimes

165
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: of the old men who fought against each other in

166
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: the Second World War, announced this week that the first

167
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: American to take a step on the Moon will be

168
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: a Japanese astronaut accompanying and American crew returning to the

169
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: Moon as we set our sites from Mars and beyond.

170
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: This is what democracy is about. This is what democracy

171
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 1: is about. It is about the unleashing of human potential.

172
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: And President Biden looked good doing it this week. He

173
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,479
Speaker 1: looked strong, He looked tough. He looked like he was

174
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: planning for the next decade. In the one after that

175
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 1: for my children and yours. President Biden had a big

176
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: hit this week. He looked presidential, he acted presidential. When

177
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: the American people looked and they saw President Biden conducting

178
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: his business this week, they saw a commander in chief

179
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: ready for prime time. And that's why in this moment

180
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 1: and since this State of the Union address, President Biden

181
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: has been ahead consistently in the polls because he is

182
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: making the race about Donald Trump, the insanity, the violence,

183
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:20,719
Speaker 1: the chaos, the mayhem that we see being unleashed and

184
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: that we see being promised. So for the hit of

185
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: the week, it goes to Joe Biden for statesmanship, in statescraft,

186
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: for a state dinner between Philippines and the Japanese that

187
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: was an epic success, a political win for President Biden

188
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: and the whole White House team. Thank you for listening
