00:00No crowns, no thrones, no kings.

00:04That's what this victory represents.

00:07It's a victory for the people of the state of California and the United States of America.

00:13And this is a victory that's punctuated with a sober reminder

00:17that it's not just the actions that Donald Trump has taken to federalize our guard,

00:24to begin the process of militarizing American cities,

00:27to intimidate free expression and speech by utilizing ICE and Border Patrol in American cities.

00:36But he also announced today, right when polls were opening, that this election was rigged.

00:46That this election was rigged.

00:50Of course, those are familiar words.

00:53It's exactly what Donald Trump said after January 6th, that day of love,

00:58where he tried to light democracy on fire, he tried to wreck this country,

01:01and he called in to the Secretary of State in Georgia, calling up for 11,000, 12,000 votes,

01:07just like he called Greg Abbott, saying he's entitled to those five seats.

01:11He said this election was rigged,

01:14and he's moving to look for criminal prosecution and investigations at the Department of Justice.

01:20He is not screwing around.

01:23So tonight, I'm proud, but I'm very mindful and sober of the moment we are living in.

01:31Donald Trump does not believe in fair and free elections, period and full stop.

01:38This is not complicated, and it's self-evident to anyone paying attention.

01:44You start to stack up all of these actions that continue to this moment

01:50and will continue in moments to come.

01:54If you think I'm exaggerating, consider his announcement just a few weeks ago

01:59to send rapid response teams all across the United States, in all 50 states,

02:06tens of thousands of members of the military prepared for urban deployment,

02:14a preview of things to come.

02:18But back to this state.

02:21Our state of mind was resolute.

02:23Our state of mind was resolved to stand firm and to stand tall,

02:28to not be intimidated, to not be humiliated,

02:31to not fall prey to cynicism,

02:33to not fall prey to fear and the anxiety of someone

02:36that believes in only one thing, shock and awe,

02:40to intimidate and exhaust us.

02:43But we're seeing all across this country,

02:45seven million people strong, standing up,

02:49not just for themselves, but for each other,

02:51and for these enduring and historic principles of our founding fathers.

02:57And I'll end on that.

02:59Next year is the 250th anniversary of the best of Roman Republic,

03:03the best of Greek democracy.

03:06This fundamental notion of a system of checks and balances,

03:12of popular sovereignty,

03:15the rule of law.

03:17Mr. President, the rule of law, not the rule of dawn.

03:21And I hope it's dawning on people.

03:25The sobriety of this moment.

03:28What's at stake?

03:30Tonight, as I said, is an extraordinary moment for our party.

03:35But again, it's an extraordinary moment affirming those principles.

03:40Our founding fathers did not live and die

03:43to see the kind of vandalism to this republic and our democracy

03:47that Donald Trump is trying to perpetuate.

03:51And so, my call tonight, in the spirit of Whitman,

03:54we talked about the powerful play, goes on.

03:58We all must contribute a verse.

04:00And so, we need, we need the state of Virginia.

04:06We need the state of Maryland.

04:09We need our friends in New York, in Illinois, in Colorado.

04:12We need to see other states,

04:15the remarkable leaders that have been doing remarkable things,

04:19meet this moment head on as well

04:21to recognize what we're up against in 2026.

04:24And let me make this crystal clear.

04:29We can de facto end Donald Trump's presidency as we know it.

04:35The minute Speaker Jeffries gets sworn in

04:40as Speaker of the House of Representatives,

04:43it is all on the line,

04:46a bright line in 2026.

04:49And so, I want to thank everybody that stood up,

04:54not just for our democracy,

04:57but stood up for those that have feel bullied and intimidated,

05:03stood up, stood up for this notion

05:06of co-equal branches of government

05:08and a system of checks and balances.

05:19And so, I want to thank everybody that stood up for this notion
