This moment.
00:03
So here's one of the other things I wanted to talk about tonight.
00:07
And to hide it.
00:09
So look, some people are describing what's been happening in recent months as absolute chaos.
00:18
And of course I understand why.
00:21
And it's certainly true of those tariffs.
00:24
Tariffs that, as I predicted, are clearly inclining a recession.
00:30
But friends, please let us not be duped into thinking everything is chaos.
00:41
I know it may feel that way.
00:45
But understand, what we are in fact witnessing is a high-velocity event.
00:54
Where a vessel is being used for the swift implementation of an agenda that has been decades in the making.
01:07
An agenda to slash public education.
01:15
An agenda to shrink government and then privatize its services.
01:19
All while giving tax breaks to the wealthiest among us.
01:26
By the way, an agenda that is not lowering costs.
01:34
Not making life more affordable.
01:38
And not what they promised.
01:41
It's an agenda, a narrow, self-serving vision of America.
01:52
Where they punish truth-tellers.
01:59
Favor loyalists.
02:03
Cast in on their power.
02:06
And leave everyone to fend for themselves.
02:10
All while abandoning allies and retreating from the world.
02:15
And folks, what we are experiencing right now is exactly what they envision for America.
02:29
Right now, we are living in their vision for America.
02:36
We are living in a moment when the checks and balances upon which we have historically relied have begun to buckle.
02:54
And we here know that when the checks and balances ultimately collapse,
03:00
if Congress fails to do its part,
03:05
or if the courts fail to do their part,
03:09
or if both do their part,
03:12
but the President defies them anyway,
03:17
well, friends, that is called a constitutional crisis.
03:21
And that is a crisis
03:24
that will eventually impact everyone.
03:30
Because it could mean that the rules that protect our fundamental rights and freedoms,
03:36
that ensure each of us has a say about how our government works,
03:44
will no longer matter.
03:46
And if that happens,
03:50
the one check,
03:53
the one balance,
03:55
the one power
03:57
that must not fail
04:00
is the voice of the people.
04:04
And look,
04:16
look, right now,
04:18
I know a lot of folks
04:20
are wondering
04:21
what's going to guide us through this moment.
04:25
How are we all going to
04:26
figure out how to chart the course?
04:29
I know.
04:46
Okay.
04:47
Okay.
04:47
Okay.
04:48
So,
