WELL THIS WEEK ON AMERICAS BIRTHDAY KNOWN AS INDEPENDENCE DAY OR SIMPLY JULY 4 DONALD TRUMP THREW HIMSELF A PARTY.
EVER SINCE HE SAW THAT THE FRENCH PRESIDENT HAS A PARADE ITS CALLED BASTILLE DAY AND THE DICTATOR OF NORTH KOREA HAS A PARADE ITS CALLED AUTHORITARIANISM AND THAT THEY GET TO HAVE TANKS AND PEOPLE MARCHING IN FRONT OF THEM AND SALUTING THEM AND ALL OF THAT STUFF HES WANTED TO HAVE ONE TOO.
HE TRIED TO COOP OTHER HOLIDAYS LIKE VETERANS DAY AND MEMORIAL DAY BUT THE ADULTS IN THE MILITARY KEPT PUSHING HIM BACK.
NO MORE.
DONALD TRUMP FINALLY GOT HIS SPECIAL DONALD TRUMP PARADE ROLLING TANKS DOWN THE STREETS OF YOUR CAPITAL FLYING AIR FORCE PLANES OVER HIS HEAD WHILE HE GAVE AN ODD SPEECH ABOUT THE AIRPORTS THE CONTINENTAL CONGRESS TOOK CONTROL OF DURING THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR?
IN JUNE OF 1775 THE CONTINENTAL CONGRESS CREATED A UNIFIED ARMY OUT OF THE REVOLUTIONARY FORCES ENCAMPED AROUND BOSTON AND NEW YORK.
THE CONTINENTAL ARMY SUFFERED A BITTER WINTER OF VALLEY FORGE FOUND GLORY ACROSS THE WATERS OF THE DELAWARE AND SEIZED VICTORY FROM CORN WALLACE OF YORK TOWN.
IT RAN THE RAMPARTS IT TOOK OVER THE AIRPORTS IT DID EVERYTHING IT HAD TO DO AND AT FORT McHENDRY UNDER THE ROCKETS RED GLARE IT HAD NOTHING BUT VICTORY.
IM SURE YOU KNOW THIS ALREADY BECAUSE YOU PAID ATTENTION IN SCHOOL BUT JUST SO THAT ITS SAID THE CONTINENTAL ARMY WAS NOT NAMED AFTER GEORGE WASHINGTON.
THERE WAS NO AIR TRAVEL DURING THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR.
AIRPLANES WERENT EVEN INVENTED UNTIL 1903 AND THE BATTLE AT FORT McHENDRY HAPPENED DURING THE WAR OF 1812.
IN THE END FOR MILLIONS OF YOUR TAX DOLLARS THIS IS ACTUALLY WHAT DONALD TRUMP GOT.
ON THIS DAY 243 YEARS AGO OUR FOUNDING FATHERS PLEDGED THEIR LIVES THEIR FORTUNES AND THEIR SACRED HONOR TO DECLARE INDEPENDENCE AND DEFEND OUR GOD GIVEN RIGHTS.
NOT AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT BUT WHAT LOOKS LIKE AN AUTHORITARIAN LEADER FESTOONED BY HIS MILITARY AND MAKING A SHOW OF FORCE TO WELL ITS NOT REALLY CLEAR WHO BECAUSE DONALD TRUMP ACTUALLY REALLY LIKES DICTATORS.
JOINING ME NOW IS PRESIDENT O AND CEO OF LATINO.
CRAIG UNGER VANITY FAIR CONTRIBUTOR AND AUTHOR OF HOUSE OF TRUMP HOUSE OF PUTIN AND REPRESENTATIVE TED LOU DEMOCRAT FROM CALIFORNIA AND A MEMBER OF THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND JUDICIARY COMMITTEES.
I WANT TO GO TO YOU FIRST CONGRESSMAN WHAT DID YOU MAKE OF IT WATCHING AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT DO THIS THING THAT TOM NICHOLS WHO IS A SOVIET EXPERT ON THE HISTORY OF THE SOVIET UNION AND OF THAT REGION DESCRIBED AS LOOKING LIKE AN OLD SOVIET KIND OF YOU KNOW PARADE.
THANK YOU JOY FOR YOUR QUESTION.
LET ME JUST FIRST SAY THAT NATURAL DISASTER LIKE EARTHQUAKES CAN STRIKE AT ANY TIME AND I URGE TO BE PREPARED WITH SUPPLIES AND A SAFETY PLAN.
TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION ONE OF THE BIG PROBLEMS WITH TRUMPS JULY 4th EVENT IS IT WAS A CAMPAIGN EVENT PAID FOR BY THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER.
NOT ONLY DID HE DIVERT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO THIS EVENT HE HAD THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE GIVE OUT PASSES VIP PASSES TO MAJOR DONORS.
THAT WAS OUTRAGEOUS.
A VIOLATION OF OUR ETHICS AND HE MADE A MOCKERY OF OUR INDEPENDENCE DAY.
THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING WHATS GOING ON IN YOUR STATE.
WE JUST SAW TWO NATURAL DISASTER IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA SO THIS IS A TIME WHEN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ACTUALLY HAS PRIORITIES THAT ARE IMPORTANT THAT WE SHOULD BE SPENDING MONEY ON THINGS LIKE MAKING SURE THAT STATES ARE READY FOR NATURAL DISASTER LIKE YOU JUST SAW IN YOUR STATE.
WHEN YOU SEE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES DIVERTING MONEY SO HE CAN HAVE PLANES FLY OVER HIM RATHER THAN SPENDING THE MONEY ON IMPORTANT THINGS LIKE THAT OR MAYBE UNCAGING CHILDREN WHICH HES ALSO DOING IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND ARIZONA AND OTHER PLACES AS A MEMBER OF CONGRESS IS THERE SOMETHING THAT YOU PLAN TO DO ABOUT THAT.
THIS DOES SEEM LIKE A TREMENDOUS WASTE OF MONEY.
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS CANT USE OFFICIAL RESOURCES TO PARTICIPATE IN A PARADE.
IN THIS CASE TRUMP DIVERTS 2.5 MILLION OF NATIONAL PARK FEES TO PAY FOR HIS PARTY AND IVE ASKED THE FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION TO LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE HOW CAN YOU HAVE ALL OF THIS TAXPAYER MONEY DO THIS EVENT AND HAVE THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE BE INVOLVED HANDING OUT VIP PASSES TO THE MAJOR DONORS.
YEAH AND BESIDES THAT I WANT TO GO TO YOU CRAIG UNGER YOU HAVE WRITTEN A LOT ABOUT DONALD TRUMP HIS MAFIA SORT OF RELATIONSHIPS THAT HE HAS HAD THROUGHOUT HIS CAREER PARTICULARLY WHEN IT COMES TO RUSSIA.
AMBASSADOR TO RUSSIA TWEETED AFTER DONALD TRUMPS WEIRD PARADE.
HE SAID I KNEW THIS WAS COMING TWEET FROM JULIA DAVIS NEWS RUSSIA STATE TV IS OBSESSIVELY BASHING TRUMPS LOW ENERGY WEAK PARADE WITH RUSTY TANKS THE HOSTS LOL AT TRUMPS CLAIMS THERES YOUR CITY UPON A HILL A WORLD LEADER AND MARTIANS HAVE BEEN DEFEATED.
DONALD TRUMP NOT ONLY WASTED AMERICAS MONEY TO MAKE HIMSELF A CAMPAIGN COMMERCIAL BUT ALSO HAS SUBJECTED THE UNITED STATES TO MOCKERY BECAUSE REAL DICTATORSHIPS KNOW WHAT A DICTATOR PARADE IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE CRAIG.
AT LEAST SOMETIMES THEY GET THEIR FACTS STRAIGHT AND I MEAN ITS INTERESTING THAT IF THE RUSSIAN STATE TV IS GOING AFTER TRUMP THAT DOESNT HAPPEN WITHOUT VLADIMIR PUTINS SAY SO.
ITS ALSO INTERESTING THE CLIP YOU SHOWED THE NUMBER OF HISTORICAL ERRORS IN IT IS JUST EXTRAORDINARY AND THE WHITE HOUSE HAS AN OFFICE OF SPEECH WRITING WITH LOTS OF RESEARCHERS AND INTERNS AND THEY FACT CHECK THINGS AND THERE ARE ONLY THREE POSSIBILITIES FOR THAT LEVEL OF STUPIDITY TO TAKE PLACE.
ONE IS THAT THAT OFFICE IS COMPLETELY FILLED WITH PEOPLE WITH ROOM TEMPERATURE IQ THE OTHER IS THAT ALL THE PROCEDURES HAVE FALLEN APART AND THEY DONT EXIST ANYMORE AND THE THIRD POSSIBILITY IS ITS SPRAYING FROM THE BRAIN OF DONALD TRUMP AND THAT IS DEEPLY DEEPLY DISTURBING.
YEAH THERES A LOT ABOUT IT THATS DISTURBING LONNIE IM GOING TO GO TO YOU ON THIS IM GLAD YOURE HERE TO HAVE A HISTORICAL CONTEXT.
DONALD TRUMP ADMIRES DICTATOR SHIPS AROUND THE WORLD.
ALL OF THE MEDIA IS HIS VERSION BASTILLE DAY CEREMONY.
I POINTED OUT EARLIER THIS WEEK THE WHOLE BASTILLE DAY THING IS ABOUT SENDING A MESSAGE TO DICTATORS.
THATS WHAT THE WHOLE BASTILLE DAY IS ABOUT.
DONALD TRUMP LIKES DICTATORS.
THATS CLEARLY NOT WHAT THIS IS.
WHAT WAS THE MESSAGE THAT YOU THINK CAME OUT OF WHAT DONALD TRUMP DID THIS WEEK?
IT WAS GRANDIOSITY AND SELFINFLATION AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS I THINK THATS SIGNIFICANT HERE IS THAT THE UNITED STATES AT LEAST IN THEORY IS SUPPOSED TO OPERATE ON THE DOCTRINE THAT WE ARE A NATION OF LAWS THAT NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW AND THAT THE CONSTITUTION IS THE FUNDAMENTAL AUTHORITY.
THAT IS A DIFFERENT POSITION FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT POSITION THAN A STATE IN WHICH THE PERSONALITY OR THE AUTHORITARIAN LEADER IS THE HEAD OF ALL INTEREST AND IDEAS WITHIN THE STATE AND SO WHAT DONALD TRUMP DID WAS ESSENTIALLY HIJACK THIS IDEA AND TURN IT INTO SOMETHING THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO GLORIFY ITSELF.
ITS AN INTERESTING PARADOX HERE WHICH IS THAT SEVERAL YEARS AGO I DID A FULL BRIGHT FELLOWSHIP AND SPENT AN ENTIRE SEMESTER IN MOSCOW TEACHING AT MOSCOW STATE UNIVERSITY AND AT THE END OF THE SEMESTER THERE WAS THE MAY 9th CELEBRATION.
ANYBODY WHO HAS BEEN TO RUSSIA OR KNOWS YOU KNOW ABOUT THEIR HISTORY POST WORLD WAR II MAY 9th IS A GIGANTIC CELEBRATION THAT HAPPENS EACH YEAR SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE FOURTH OF JULY AND NEW YEARS AND IT IS A RECOGNITION OF THE SOVIET DEFEAT NAZI THREAT AN THREAT IN WORLD WAR II.
I WAS THERE FOR THE PARADE AND THERES THIS COMPLETE PROCESSION OF MILITARY VEHICLES.
THEIR MISSILES TANKS ARMORED VEHICLES THEIR JEEPS AND IT LOOKS LIKE AN ARMY AMASSING FOR AN INVASION.
SOMEONE TURNS TO ME AND SAYS DO YOU DO THE SAME THING IN THE UNITED STATES ON THE FOURTH OF JULY.
I SAID NO THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN IN THE UNITED STATES BECAUSE THEY IN THE UNITED STATES BELIEVER THERE SHOULD BE A REALLY CLEAR DISTINCTION BETWEEN CIVILIAN AUTHORITY AND MILITARY MIGHT AND THAT OUR AUTHORITY IS SUPPOSED TO AT LEAST IN THEORY STEM FROM OUR LAWS AND OUR MORAL BELIEVES.
AND WHAT DONALD TRUMP DID WAS ESSENTIALLY INVERT THAT TO CREATE IT AS THE KIND OF SATIRICAL ALMOST EMULATION OF SOMETHING THAT HE SEES IN VLADIMIR PUTIN WE SHOULD RECOGNIZE THIS AS THE ANTIDEMOCRATIC MOVEMENT THAT IT ACTUALLY WAS.
YEAH I MEAN THAT IS AN EXCELLENT POINT.
HE TALKED ABOUT THE FACT THAT TRUMP TRIED TO MAKE HIMSELF LOOK BIG FROM THIS PIECE.
IT WAS CLEAR FROM THE BEGINNING THAT INDEPENDENCE MEANT NOTHING MORE THAN A MADE FOR TELEVISION EVENT AND AN EGO MESSAGE.
IT INVOKED MOCKERY.
THERES A CARTOON THATS DRAWN ON WHAT AIRPLANES WOULD LOOK LIKE DURING THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR.
ITS BEN FRANKLIN ATTACHED TO TWO KITES AND THIS IS BY SOMEBODY I KNOW THE GREAT NATALIE JOHNSON WHO DREW THAT.
HERES THE REALITY DONALD TRUMP IT SEEMS WANTS TO BE SEEN AS THIS BIG MAN RIGHT HE WANTS TO BE SEEN AS THIS GRAND LEADER OF THIS GREAT MILITARY BUT WHAT HE ACTUALLY CAN ACCOMPLISH THROUGH HIS OWN YOU KNOW THE QUALITY OF THE STAFF THAT HE HAS AROUND HIM IS HE CANT DO THAT.
THE REALITY IS EVEN IN THE CASE OF RUSSIA WHICH NOW IS AN ADVERSARY OF THE UNITED STATES DURING WORLD WAR II THEY WERE FIGHTING THE NAZIS.
IF THEYRE DOING A BIG CELEBRATION TALKING ABOUT DEFEATING THE NAZI EMPIRE THEYRE SENDING A MESSAGE AGAIN TO DICTATORS.
THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF PARADES THAT AND ONE IN NORTH KOREA.
HE DOESNT EVEN KNOW HOW.
OR REALLY WHY.
WE DONT HAVE TO SHOW THAT TYPE OF DISPLAY OF FORCE BECAUSE THE WORLD ALREADY KNOWS IT AND WHAT I FOUND SO DISAPPOINTING WHEN IT CAME TO JULY 4th IS JULY 4th IS TO COMMEMORATE OUR ROOTS AS AMERICANS THE FACT THAT WE FLED DIFFERENT COUNTRIES HERE AND RECOGNIZE THAT OUR DNA IS WERE A NATION OF IMMIGRANTS AND WE HAVE STRENGTH AND DONT HAVE TO SHOW MILITARY MIGHT BECAUSE THE WORLD KNOWS IT AND WHAT DONALD TRUMP DID WAS A SAD DISPLAY.
WE ARE THE LARGEST MILITARY OPERATION IN THE WORLD.
HE DIDNT HAVE THE COURAGE TO JOIN THE MILITARY WHEN HIS CARD WAS UP.
HE DEFERRED IT ON BONE SPURS AND BASICALLY NOT ONLY DETERIORATES THE FLAG BUT ALSO THE MEANING OF WHAT MEANS TO BE AMERICAN AND JULY 4th AND COME TOGETHER AS A NATION.
THE REASONS PRESIDENTS DONT MAKE IT ABOUT THEM IS BECAUSE ITS ONE COUNTRY UNDER ONE FLAG IN UNISON.
HE CREATED A CAMPAIGN RALLY TRYING TO DIFFERENTIATE US AND DIVIDE US.
WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE.
WHO WE ARE AND WE KNOW WE DO IT WITH JUSTICE.
THE FACT THAT HE CAN DO THIS IN THE BACKDROP OF CAGING CHILDREN THAT IS NOT WHO WE ARE.
IM GOING TO GIVE YOU THE LAST WORD CONGRESSMAN.
AS A PERSON WHO DID SERVE UNLIKE DONALD TRUMP WHEN YOU SAW TANKS ROLLING DOWN THE NATIONS CAPITOL YOUR THOUGHTS WERE WHAT?
THE CIVIL WAR AND THIS IS WHERE WE WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE RECONCILIATION AND INSTEAD TODAY WE HAVE IMAGES OF TANKS AND THE WHOLE CRISIS AT THE BORDER.
HAVING SERVED IN THE ACTIVE DUTY IN THE MILITARY WE HAVE BEEN TRAINED NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN PARTISAN CAMPAIGN EVENTS.
THERE WAS AN PIECE TO THE WASHINGTON POST THE ARCHITECTURE IS ABOUT RECONCILIATION ITS ABOUT THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL OUR ORIGINAL SIN WAS SLAVERY.
THERES A DIRECTIVE THAT PROHIBITS MILITARY MEMBERS FROM SHOWING UP IN UNIFORM AT A CAMPAIGN RALLY.
THIS WAS A MASSIVE TAX FUNDED CAMPAIGN RALLY HANDING OUT VIP PASSES IT ERODED WHAT SHOULD BE A NONPARTISAN MILITARY AND THAT WAS SAD AND DISAPPOINTING.
THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE AND SENDING OUT GOOD THOUGHTS TO YOUR STATE CONGRESSMAN JILANI COBB CRAIG UNGER THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
PEOPLE LOCKED IN CAGES ON THE SOUTHERN BOARD MORE ON THAT NEXT.
Its kinda hard to see the ball.
CAGES ON THE SOUTHERN BOARD MORE ON THAT NEXT Coach!
AND LAURA DIRECTOR OF IMMIGRANTS RIGHTS AT COLUMBIA LAW SCHOOL AND A LAWYER WHO HAS VISITED DETENTION CENTERS FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS.
THE CONDITIONS THAT WERE LEARNING ABOUT WHAT WE HEAR WHAT I SMELLED WHEN I WAS AT THESE FACILITIES IT IS UNLAWFUL AND ILLEGAL.
A LAW FROM 2008 WHICH WAS PASSED WITH UNANIMOUS BIPARTISAN SUPPORT AND SIGNED BY PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH SAYS THAT CHILDREN MUST NOT BE DETAINED BY CUSTOMS AND BORDER PATROL FOR ANY LONGER THAN 72 HOURS.
THE 1997 FLORES SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT REQUIRES THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PROVIDE SAFE AND SANITARY CONDITIONS FOR CHILDREN IN ITS CUSTODY.
AND THEN LAURA THIS IS WHAT I HAVE NOT UNDERSTOOD AND IM GOING TO GO TO YOU FIRST AND THEN MARIA THERESA KUMAR BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT WHY THEY MIGHT BE DOING THIS.
YOU HAVE BEEN THERE MUCH MORE THAN I HAVE.
IT STRIKES ME AS COMPLETELY ILLEGAL TO HOLD CHILDREN IN THIS MANNER WHEN AS LAURA SAID THEY HAVE FAMILY TO GO TO.
IS IT THE MONEY THAT THEYRE MAKING I MEAN ITS 750 BUCKS A DAY TO HOLD KIDS IN THESE CAMPS.
WHY IN YOUR VIEW ARE THEY HOLDING THESE CHILDREN?
DONALD TRUMP SAYS THATS CATCH AND RELEASE HES NOT DOING IT.
THESE CHILDREN ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN CUSTODY MORE THAN 72 DAYS.
HE IS NOW ON THE BOARD OF ADVISERS TO ONE OF THE LARGEST DETENTION FOR PROFIT FACILITIES.
Ive been there.
I had a TV service with hardly any sports in 4K.
Couldnt see any of the quality details.
I switched to DIRECTV now I get the most live sports in 4K.
So how does that help me?
I dont know why I told you that.
Go get em sport!
i Live sports that arent in 4Ki i are just kinda TV.i i Dont just kinda TV.
Calli i 1.855.WATCH.4K and ask for iti i today.i UNCONSCIONABLE.
CHILDREN SLEEPING ON THE GROUND IN NOTHING BUT A DIAPER.
 SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE  AND LAURA WE HAVE HEARD STORIES OF LITTLE KIDS BEING FORCED TO TAKE CARE OF OTHER LITTLE KIDS.
YOULL HAVE TO READ THE SUB TITLES.
THE CHIEF OF STAFF THE FORMER STAFF JOHN KELLY WHO ADVISED PRESIDENT TRUMP AND WAS HEAD OF THE DHS HE WAS ONE OF THE ARCHITECTURES OF THIS.
THE PRIVATE DETENTION FACILITIES THE FOR PROFIT DETENTION FACILITIES STOCK PRICES WENT ON THE RISE.
THEYRE TRYING TO ALSO YOU KNOW RING THE RED LIGHT OF THIS IS NOT NORMAL.
THIS IS ILLEGAL AND WE NEED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO STAND UP FOR IT.
THEY WONT LET THEM GO SEEM TO BE DISPLAYING MISERY TO ENTERTAIN.
WHAT WE HAVE IS NOT A DEATH CAMP SYSTEM LIKE AUSCHWITZ BUT IT IS A CONCENTRATION CAMP SYSTEM A MALEVOLENT SYSTEM THAT HAS DEEP ROOTS IN A POLARIZED SOCIETY THAT IS WILLING TO DO HARM TO VULNERABLE PEOPLE.
ARGUMENTS OVER WHAT TO CALL IT DEATH FROM CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.
IN GERMANY A MAN WAS ARRESTED AND TAKEN WHERE NAZIS PUT A SIGN AROUND HIM TO HUMILIATE HIM.
