00:00Because, of course, it is a system that depends on division to enable its inequality, that will favor a president who is the best at dividing us and the most skilled at corruption.
00:15And it will also reward the Republicans in Congress who support that agenda no matter what crimes are committed, including crimes from the White House.
00:26Big money is how we got Donald Trump.
00:32His whole presidency began with launching tools for bribery, meme coins and cryptocurrencies to fleece normal people and move money in the dark.
00:43Extortion settlements from media companies and law firms who gladly pay the price.
00:49And he even removed duly elected officials, including Republican ones, from the chamber of the inauguration to make room for who he really wants in charge.
01:01The unelected billionaires who were standing behind him.
01:05They have one central economic mission, to make billionaires richer at the expense of all of us.
01:15So it does not surprise us that their first economic mission has been to smear and target Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security.
01:28To fire our federal workers and to abandon our veterans for hundreds of billions of dollars in cuts so that they can hand that money off to their donors.
01:38And the things that they say are crazy, crazy, Medicaid is one of the most efficient and effective public systems, lowest in fraud that we have in the United States.
01:57Just yesterday, just yesterday, just yesterday, I saw on television, on Fox News, you had this woman, Janine Pirro.
02:09Crazy thing about Janine Pirro is that she's from Westchester County where I went to public school and it's like, wow, how things have evolved there.
02:18Anyways, so Janine Pirro goes on television, she says, as though this is fraud.
02:25She says that they found so many babies and two-year-olds and four-year-olds who were receiving Social Security.
02:34I've got a notice for you, Janine Pirro.
02:37Those babies get Social Security because their parents died.
02:42That's not a waste.
02:44That's humanity.
02:46That's America.
02:48That's the country that we fight for.
02:50Those are the promises we make to one another.
02:53That is what it means to be in a civilized society.
02:57It's not waste.
02:59It is the best of us.
03:04Folsom, I know that it at times can look impossible out here for the Republicans to be defeated.
03:13But that is not true.
03:16It is simply not true.
03:19From the waitress who is now speaking to you today, I can tell you impossible is nothing.
03:27Miracles start with mustard seeds.
03:32And that is what each and every one of you represent today.
03:37Small miracles of faith in ourselves, in each other, and in the refusal to give up.
03:44The people that have made the money.
03:46And that is why we are in the refusal to do a lot of people, in each other.
03:50So the لا Loves and the people that have been done for the purpose of this year...
03:52They're doing this Iya.
03:53But, I think that they're doing it all.
03:54The people that have made the money.
03:55The people that have made the money.
03:57And that can help them.
03:58The people that have made the money.
03:59The people that have made the money.
