00:00 They have just tried to bar President Trump from the Colorado ballot using an unconstitutional

00:05 maneuver that is a bastardization of the 14th Amendment to our U.S. Constitution.

00:10 This was a provision, Section 3, that was designed to bar Confederate members, people

00:14 who switched to the Confederacy, from actually being able to serve.

00:18 That's very different than what's at issue here, to say the least.

00:21 This is a hollowed-out husk of what the country was built on.

00:25 The basic principle that we the people select our leadership, not the unelected elite class

00:30 in the back of palace halls.

00:32 That's old world Europe, not the United States.

00:35 That's why I'm making a pledge today that I will withdraw, I pledge to withdraw, from

00:41 the Colorado GOP primary ballot unless and until Trump's name is restored.

00:48 And I demand that Ron DeSantis and Chris Christie and Nikki Haley do the same thing, or else

00:53 these Republicans are simply complicit in this unconstitutional attack on the way we

00:59 conduct our constitutional republic.

01:01 I refuse to be complicit in that.

01:03 I think what they're doing is wrong, and I think it's up to Republicans to step up and

01:07 stand up with a spine for our country's future.

01:10 That's really what's at stake, whether we the people actually have a say in deciding

01:14 who leads this country.

01:16 Yes, it would be easier for other Republicans like me, who are running in this race, to

01:20 say, "Hey, if Trump is sidelined, there's our opportunity."

01:23 No doubt other candidates are probably privately celebrating with their corporate sponsors.

01:27 That's not the right thing to do.

01:28 I think the most useful thing that every GOP candidate can do right now is to join me in

01:33 that pledge.

01:34 I'll say that I will withdraw from that Colorado GOP primary ballot until Trump's name is restored.

01:39 This belongs to the people, not to the unelected Democratic cabal of judges in Colorado or

01:45 any other state.

01:46 And I demand that Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley and Chris Christie do the same thing, or else

01:51 they're complicit in what this security state is trying to do to shut down Trump.

01:55 I stand by that and I expect them to do the right thing.
