YhdessÀ syöpÀÀ vastaan, koska meillÀ on elÀmÀ tehtÀvÀnÀ. Dokrates MehilÀinen syöpÀsairaala. Kysymys nyt on, missÀ maassa Donald Trump laittaa sÀÀntöÀ vastaan. Onko se Chicago? Onko se Philadelphia, jossa vuoden aiemmin Donald Trump jÀi puuttelemaan, kun laittoi rauhoja? Muistatko? Laita tÀmÀn klipin. Noin.
selling golden sneakers in Philadelphia a year ago and now threatening to send the military to invade Philadelphia. Earlier on Monday, Donald Trump was asked if he's planning on sending the military to invade cities without the approval of the governors of the states where those cities are. Here's what he said. Let's play it. Are you prepared to order National Guard troops, though, into American cities if those governors don't request the federal deployment? I am, but I also think that, look, Chicago...
Everybody knows how bad it is. Everybody standing there knows. We know you don't have to be doing any studies. They should be saying, please, please, please invade me. You should be saying, that's just what, that's how an abuser sounds right there. Then you have MAGA-Republican congressmember James Comer, who is a wing of this authoritarian movement. And he said, yep, we're coming to Philly next. We're coming to New York City. We're coming to Chicago. How
The criminal activity in their city. So I think that this is an experiment that's probably needed in a lot of the Democrat run cities in America. An experiment, just an experiment. It's called fascism, saying our military was sent to other countries like Fallujah. Well, we're in Fallujah. Now let's send them right here into the United States. Then Pete Hegseth spoke earlier today where Pete Hegseth said the morale of the troops is great. They love invading American cities.
They just love it. Here's what Hegson said. Here, play this clip. ...defending the nation's capital and ensuring it is safe and beautiful and working with law enforcement. And Mr. President, let me tell you, the morale of the troops getting out there talking to them, they love this mission. They're grateful to be doing it, whether they're D.C. National Guard or other state national guards. And at your direction as well, sir, it's just common sense to make sure they're armed as well. And so they were willing, ensuring they're armed, capable of defending themselves and others if need be, supporting law enforcement. And we're proud to be there, sir.
No katsotaanpa missiota, jonka olet juuri saapunut. Katsotaanpa missiota, jonka olet juuri saapunut.
Why are we talking about this? We have to talk about it. Donald Trump invading cities. Philadelphia is top on that list with the United States military. Did you ever think as a district attorney, as a lawyer, you would be dealing with that, number one? And number two, what's your response to all of this?
Minun vastaukseni on, ettÀ fasistit ovat fasistit. Puhutaanpa, mitÀ tÀÀllÀ oikeastaan tapahtuu. MeillÀ on joku, joka on syöttÀnyt 34 syöttöÀ, joka uskoo olla lausuntojen ÀÀntÀ. Joku auttaisi minut siitÀ.
We have a guy who we all know was very close to Jeffrey Epstein, who ran a historically notorious pedophilic ring and doesn't want to release information about that. And he's here to make us safe. Really? Is that how that works? Did he make us safe when you had an effort to overthrow the government of the United States, apparently on his behalf, and he exonerated all those people? He pardoned all those people, some of whom were doing sentences of 20 years or more?
What do traders get? And yet he let them all go. Let's put a little finer point on it. Here's the truth. The Republican states, meaning the ones that voted for the last Republican candidate for president in the last election cycle, have been more homicide prone for 25 years than the Democratic states. In fact, 24.
Out of those 25 years you stood a better chance of getting killed in a Republican state than a Democratic state. 24 out of 25 of those years. The difference has been about 133%, meaning if 100 people get murdered in a Democratic state, there's 133 adjusted for population getting murdered in a Republican state. Republicans are terrible at public safety. When they're not committing crimes themselves, which this president does all the time by all indications, when they're not doing that,
They are endangering their people. And yet for some silly reason, that is not a message that my Democratic Party has been able to get across. Well, here it is. We do not need an invasion led by an insurrectionist, who is a 34-time convicted felon, who's violating the Constitution.
We do not need an invasion of a city, and Philadelphia is that city, that is enjoying a more than 50 year low in homicides. That had a record year last year and is doing better and better and better. And that is basically going on with all of these democratic, largely majority minority cities that are led by mayors of color. That is what's going on with all of these cities. It is totally unacceptable, and I certainly will do everything in my power
tell them if they're going to f around they're going to find out so tell us what the find out stage would look like i mean what you are able to share let's just say he targets chicago next which is what the plan seemed to suggest but then comes to philadelphia after that or who knows maybe he comes to philadelphia next this time not selling golden sneakers for 499 but putting the military on the streets
What do you do about that? How do you fight that both with legal authority, moral authority and just the power of the people?
Well, thank you for raising moral authority, because we don't talk about it enough. We basically say, what can he get away with? That is how depraved our public discourse has become about the president of the United States. What can he get away with as he keeps moving the goal line when it comes to the Constitution, when it comes to the laws with his hack Supreme Court? And yes, he has at least four hacks on that Supreme Court. We're hoping it isn't five. So we do need to talk about morality and not just law, but it's very clear this is completely illegal.
President does have the ability to mess around more in D.C. than he does in the States. And that is because of the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which specifically says that he cannot commandeer local law enforcement to do whatever crazy thing he wants to do. He cannot force local law enforcement to go after immigrants, for example. That has worked for a federal agency known as ICE.
Joten menemme kohdalle. MeillÀ on edelleen kohdalla. Pahoittelen, presidentti Trumpi. Ja me otamme sen heille samalla tavalla kuin Kalifornia on saanut sen heille. EttÀ tÀmÀ on ilmaisuus erilaisilla tavoilla. EttÀ se on tÀysin epÀonnistunut. Mutta meillÀ on toinen erittÀin tÀrkeÀ palvelu. Ja haluan, ettÀ yleisö kuulee tÀmÀn. Ja haluan, ettÀ he ymmÀrtÀvÀt, ettÀ sinÀ et ole yksin.
And that important tool is called state prosecution. The president of the United States has zero ability to pardon someone who is convicted in state court. This is why he has not pardoned himself for being convicted in state court of 34 felonies by my, you know, I would say reform prosecutor colleague in Manhattan. This is why he hasn't done that. So if what you have
is a group of ICE agents, or you even have the military, coming into Philadelphia and they're committing crimes. They're committing assaults that are illegal, homicides that are illegal. They're kidnapping people. They're engaging in unlawful restraint, which is a crime in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. They're obstructing the administration of justice. If you have people coming in, military, ICE, whoever it is, acting beyond their legal authority, they can be prosecuted, assuming they commit crimes, in state court.
