And they cannot be pardoned by the president, which means they get to tell a Philadelphia jury exactly why it is that they thought they could invade this city and they get to bear the consequences, whether they are handcuffs, a jury trial or a jail sentence. That's what they get to bear. I need backing down. Frankly, I'm a little tired of some of my elected Democratic colleagues for not standing up, but I really do want to commend those profiles and courage. We've seen Governor Pritzker organize a group of governors to resist
This fascistic nonsense. We've seen the mayor of the city of Chicago who has never flinched from standing up. We got Gavin Newsom in California standing up these days a bit. We need to applaud that. We need to stand up. We need to be on the right side of history. You know, if it means a short trip to jail, so be it for me. I've been there before. I don't mind.
Talk to us about that as well, because for me, as a non-political person who stepped into this space, we've always been trying to call out Donald Trump as we saw him, which is fascist. We would say, hey, these quotes sound an awful lot like Nazi Germany, what he's saying. And then whether it was corporate news or politicians, they would say, whoa, whoa, whoa, you can't go there, you can't say those things. You've never held back. We've seen so many...
whether it was politicians or especially corporate news, just normalized this behavior, which wouldn't fly in any organization, non-profit, big corporation, medium-sized, let alone the presidency. I mean, just the way he behaves on a day-to-day basis, not to mention his criminal conviction, the civil judgments against him and all of that. But it does seem that there is right now, in late August, after the summer,
a bit more of a of a drive by democrats or just people to say enough and fight back so that gives me hope what do you make of this moment
Minun mielestäni nyt on aika uskoa. Jos valmistajat, demokraatit tai republikaatit, eivät ole valmistuneita, niin valitse heidät. Meidän täytyy olla amerikkalaiset, jotka ovat valmistuneita, jotka ovat valmistuneita Amerikasta, jotka ovat valmistuneita demokraatiin. Kutsuminen on, että olemme olleet selvittämättömiä, että kaikkien ihmisten on luotettu samaan.
Well, make no mistake. Donald Trump, just like Adolf Hitler, is at war with equality. The words coming out of his mouth, the endorsement by the Ku Klux Klan, the white supremacists that seem to be in every nook and cranny of wherever he goes. These people do not believe in equality. It is America's most fundamental principle.
Joko sinä olet valtiota tai ulkomaalainen, tai olet valtiota, pysy ylös. Historia katsoo. Meidän täytyy olla täällä oikealla puolella. Oma näkökulmani on se, että isäni työskennellyt ja työskennellyt World War II-vaiheessa.
and went to school on the GI Bill after that, the son of immigrants. I know what a Nazi is. And my father-in-law was a career military pilot who flew in three wars. He knew what a Nazi is. The people who have joined the military, kept their oath,
Care about this country do not want to be invading cities in violation of the constitution, targeting and picketing on cities that have a high proportion of minority populations, targeting a particular political party's cities. They don't want to be doing that. They shouldn't be put in that position. It's not right for them and it's not right for this country. In other words, stand up.
Lauri, viimeisenä minun täytyy kysyä sinusta, kuinka näet Epsteinin kirjojen Trumpin yksityiskohtaisuuden? Silloin, kun olet yksityiskohtaisuusjohtaja, yritys järjestää seksikriimejä, seksitrafiikkoja. Tiedät, miten kirjoja käsitellään, miten järjestäjät käsittelevät niitä, mikä on yleinen prosessi, miten työskennellä on työtä.
versus the convicted sex traffickers, that whole relationship, the fact that Ghislaine Maxwell gets transferred from a maximum security facility, the convicted sex trafficker, to minimum security facility, and DOJ doesn't speak to the victims at all, and the victims are being re-traumatized. Meanwhile, the Department of Justice refusing to turn over those files. Just love your overall perspective on what's happening there, given your unique position.
First of all, there's a shredder. And that shredder is probably worn out by now. Any democrat who thinks that Donald Trump is holding documents that implicate him and that he hasn't destroyed them already if he has exclusive control over them is being naive. This is not a meeting of gentlemen. You are dealing with someone who called Epstein one of his best friends and Epstein called him that as well.
We all know that there is a very strong possibility that his conduct was way, way, way over any moral line and possibly way over any legal line. So no, he is not going to turn over documents in his exclusive control that implicate him. We already know he's a fraudster. We already know that he's someone who does funny stuff with documents. Let's not kid ourselves, but I do think these issues are very closely related.
Meaning, I think a lot of this talk about invading cities comes exactly at a time when there's about to be a press conference, I believe on September 3rd, that is bipartisan, demanding that this information come out. And it's important that whatever information is not already shredded come out, because at least it can be a clue as to what went on there. There is no prosecutor in the world who would ever tolerate what is going on with Jelaine Maxwell unless it was someone trying to cover up crime.
Okay, that's a coverup. That's all it is, plain and simple. That is a coverup. It's a whole bunch of snakes involved in that thing and they're being snaky. So what we need to do is we need to keep our eyes on the prize, which is we cannot have a monarch, we cannot have an overthrow of the government of the United States. We also cannot be naive and imagine that Donald Trump is somehow gonna turn over documents that implicate him, that are in his exclusive control. They're not. We need to keep our eye on the ball
