00:00No, President Trump, we don't want you or any other king to rule us.
00:07We will maintain our democratic form of society.
00:13We will not move toward authoritarianism in America.
00:19We, the people, will rule.
00:21Today, in the year 2025, in this dangerous moment in American history,
00:30our message is exactly the same.
00:35No, President Trump, we don't want you or any other king to rule us.
00:46Thank you very much.
00:48But we will maintain our democratic form of society.
00:53We will not move toward authoritarianism in America.
01:03We, the people, will rule.
01:05No more kings!
01:07No more kings!
01:09No more kings!
01:10No more kings!
01:12This moment is not just about one man's greed, one man's corruption, or one man's contempt for the Constitution.
01:24This is about a handful of the wealthiest people on earth who, in their insatiable greed,
01:33have hijacked our economy and our political system in order to enrich themselves at the expense of working families throughout this country.
01:45I am talking about Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and the other multi-billionaires who were sitting right behind Trump when he was inaugurated.
02:08Remember that?
02:09Yes!
02:10The very same billionaires who funded his campaign, who have bestowed gifts upon him, and who have seen huge increases in their wealth and power since Trump took office.
02:27We rejected the divine right of kings in the 1770s.
02:39We will not accept the divine right of oligarchs today.
02:45Health care and prescription drugs afford decent quality food for their kids.
02:52So today, right now, I say to my Republican colleagues, come back from your month-long vacation.
03:07Start negotiating and do not allow the American health care system to be destroyed.
03:16End this shutdown.
03:25At a time when billionaires are paying an effective tax rate lower than a truck driver or a nurse,
03:33yes, the top 1% and large profitable corporations will pay their fair share in taxes.
03:48Yes, yes, we can have a foreign policy that guarantees that never again will American taxpayer dollars be used to starve children in Gaza or any place else.
04:07When we don't allow Trump or anybody else to divide us up by the color of our skin or where we were born or our sexual orientation,
04:18when we stand together, we will create the kind of nation that you and I know we can become.
04:26We can and will create a nation devoted to freedom, justice and democracy.
04:41Thank you all very much.
