This is the warning
0:02
The first president to work in the West Wing of the White House was Teddy Roosevelt
0:07
There has never been a moment of greater disgrace that has ever taken place in the executive mansion or in the Oval Office than this
0:18
Let's watch. I think it's disrespectful for you to come to the Oval Office to try to litigate this in front of the American media
0:24
Right now, you guys are going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems
0:31
You should be thanking the president for trying to bring it into this conflict. Have you ever been to Ukraine that you say what problems we have
0:37
I have been to. Come once. I have actually watched and seen the stories
0:43
And I know what happens is you bring people. You bring them on a propaganda tour, Mr. President
0:48
Do you disagree that you've had problems bringing people into your military
0:52
We have problems. And do you think that it's respectful? to come to the Oval Office of the United States of America
0:57
and attack the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of your country
1:02
Have you said thank you once? A lot of times. No, in this entire meeting that you said thank you
1:07
you went to Pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition in October. Offer some words of appreciation for the United States of America
1:15
and the president who's trying to save your country. This lecture by J.D. Vance, his rank partisanship
1:24
his pettiness, his scorekeeping. Last night, Ukraine was hit by 200 drones. It was attacked
1:33
by ballistic missiles. And the 40-year-old vice president of the United States is concerned
1:38
that the president of Ukraine went to a munitions factory in Pennsylvania. The smallness of these
1:46
men and the bigness of the office is unmistakable. They are insects in a world of giants. They have
1:57
made everything they touch small and petty Last night Marco Rubio signed orders that cut billion of humanitarian aid There will be no more nets to save children from malaria in Africa
2:15
MAGA. But even the death and the suffering and the famine that Donald Trump instigated last night
2:23
is nothing compared to the death and the suffering of the war that Donald Trump's foolishness
2:31
and his ignorance and his immorality will bring. Here's the truth, my friends
2:38
He's so f***ing stupid, there's not a word for it. During the war, everybody has problems
2:45
Even you, but you have nice ocean and don't feel now, but you will feel it in the future
2:51
God bless. You don't know that. God bless. God bless. You will not have the war
2:55
Don't tell us what we're going to feel. We're trying to solve a problem. Don't tell us what we're going to feel
3:00
I'm not telling you. Because you're in no position to dictate that. Remember this
3:04
You're in no position to dictate what we're going to feel. We're going to feel very good
3:10
You will feel influence. We're going to feel very good and very strong. You will feel influence
3:15
You're right now not in a very good position. You've allowed yourself to be in a very bad position
3:20
And he happens to be right about it. From the very beginning of the war, Mr. Brackard, I was..
3:25
You don't have the cards right now. With us, you start having cards. I'm not playing cards
3:29
Right now you're playing cards. I'm wearing serious. You're gambling with the lives of millions of people
3:35
You're gambling with World War III. You're gambling with World War III
3:41
And what you're doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country
3:46
The idea that we're protected by oceans here in this country? There is no ocean that protects us from ballistic missiles
3:55
and there hasn't been one for 75 years. What keeps the world strong is an alliance that Donald Trump
4:04
hates What keeps the world strong is a commitment to a faith in freedom ideals the freedom of conscience the freedom of speech And Donald Trump sits in the Oval Office He stakes out a neutral position between aggression and self
4:23
Donald Trump has put the United States on the side of the Russian dictator, rhetorically
4:29
and it seems soon, materially. But there is a deeper truth. There was a big man sitting in the
4:37
Oval Office. His name was President Zelensky. Zelensky is the greatest man of the 21st century
4:44
When his nation was attacked, he didn't flee with a plane full of gold like Donald Trump would have
4:51
He said, send me ammunition. Ukrainian soldiers are on the front line in a war for survival and
4:58
behind them is Poland and Lithuania and Estonia. They are our NATO allies. We have treaty obligations
5:06
to defend them from Russian attack. Because Donald Trump is ignorant. Because he doesn't understand history
5:13
Because he exists entirely in the present. Because he is estranged from morality
5:19
Because he can't comprehend that there was a world that existed before he did
5:24
He doesn't understand that he is sitting with Hitler. Yes, that's who's side Trump is on
5:33
If this was 90 years ago in Munich, Trump would be on the side of the aggressor
5:38
The whole world knows what is happening here. And yet, the whole world is afraid to tell the truth to Donald Trump except for one man
5:49
Zelensky. The American people, we must rise up against this. We must take to the streets
5:55
And we must fill our town squares. We must not allow the settling out of Ukraine because it is sentencing our children to their
6:07
deaths in the Third World War The debate about what would happen was settled in the late 1930s There have been many misapplications of those lessons The Vietnam War a perfect example But this war is the perfect example This war in Ukraine will either stop the Russians there
6:30
or the Russians will win. And if they win, the world will burn. And there will be no way to stop
6:36
the nuclear weapons exchanges, and we will perish. Sounds dramatic, huh? Well, maybe I know more
6:44
history than you. I certainly know more than Donald Trump. And let me promise you this
6:49
if Donald Trump gets his knife into the back of Ukraine, it's the United States who will bleed out
6:56
and will bury more of our children than we'll be able to count. This is the warning on this day
7:03
of epic national disgrace. God help us. What a shameful, shameful, shameful day in American
7:13
history, without question, in my 54 years of life, the worst, the lowest in our history
7:21
What today was, was a Donald Trump inspired 9-11 style attack on our values, on our ideals
7:32
on the ephemeral things that we cannot see or touch, but are so much more valuable than all
7:41
the gold and diamonds and all the glitters in the world. But Donald Trump is a poor man because he
7:49
can't see what is true and what matters and what makes this country rich. It's not what's in the
7:57
ground. It's what's in our hearts. Shame on you and shame on all of us if we let this stand. Shame
