Mr. Leader, good afternoon. What would you, your statement the other day after
00:06
there was this incident in Newark, you said they better not touch our members.
00:09
Correct. What happens if they were to go and arrest these members or if they
00:14
were to try to sanction them here in the House of Representatives? They'll find out.
00:16
What would you do? They'll find out. I mean, doesn't that broach a... They'll find out.
00:21
Doesn't that go across... That's a red line. What's the, what's the red line though? I mean,
00:25
I know we have... It's a red line. It's very clear. First of all, I think that the so-called
00:31
Homeland Security spokesperson is a joke. It's a joke. They know better than to go down that
00:41
road, and it's been made loudly and abundantly clear to the Trump administration. We're not
00:50
going to be intimidated by their tactics to try to force principled opposition from not
01:01
standing up to their extremism. It hasn't happened during the entirety of this failed term. It
01:10
didn't happen when Donald Trump temporarily was sitting high in the immediate aftermath of
01:17
the election. Do you think it's going to happen now, when he's the most unpopular president
01:23
in American history after his first 100 days? Give me a break. No one's intimidated by this
01:29
dude. No one. And so there are clear lines that they just dare not cross.
01:40
Mm-hmm.
