00:00President Trump accused six Democratic lawmakers of seditious behavior
00:05punishable by death just to be clear does the president want to execute
00:10members of Congress no let's be clear about what the president is responding
00:15to because many in this room want to talk about the president's response but
00:19not what brought the president to responding in this way you have sitting
00:25members of the United States Congress who conspired together to orchestrate a
00:31video message to members of the United States military to active duty service
00:36members to members of the national security apparatus encouraging them to
00:41defy the president's lawful orders the sanctity of our military rests on the
00:48chain of command and if that chain of command is broken it can lead to people
00:52getting killed it can lead to chaos and that's what these members of Congress
00:57who swore an oath to to abide by the Constitution are essentially encouraging
01:02we have 1.3 active duty service members in this country and if they hear this
01:07radical message from sitting members of Congress that could inspire chaos and it
01:12could incite violence and it certainly could disrupt the chain of command these
01:17three members of Congress I will also add knew exactly what they were doing you
01:20look at Alyssa Slotkin she's a former member of the CIA Mark Kelly was a
01:25captain in the US Navy Maggie Goodlander was a naval officer and notably she was
01:30also she is also the wife of Joe Biden's national security former advisor Jake
01:35Sullivan and so these members knew what they were doing they were leading into
01:39their credentials as former members of our military as veterans as former
01:43members of the national security apparatus to signal to people serving under this
01:48commander-in-chief Donald Trump that you can defy him and you can betray your
01:53oath of office that is a very very dangerous message message and it perhaps is
01:58punishable by law I'm not a lawyer I'll leave that to the Department of Justice
02:02and the Department of War to decide but the president has frequently but Caroline can I just
02:06follow up the president and the vice president for that matter have accused the
02:10other side of encouraging political violence isn't that exactly what the
02:14president is doing when he says that members of Congress should be killed why
02:18aren't you talking about what these members of Congress are doing to
02:21encourage it incite violence they are literally saying to 1.3 million active
02:26duty service members not to defy the chain of command not to follow lawful orders
02:32every single illegal order but they are saying but they're suggesting they're
02:37suggesting Nancy that the president has given illegal orders which he has not every
02:43single order that is given to this United States military by this commander in
02:47chief and through this command chain of command through the secretary of war is
02:50lawful and the courts have proven that this administration has an unparalleled
02:55record at the Supreme Court because we are following the laws we don't defy court
03:00orders we do things by the books and to suggest and encourage that active duty
03:06service members defy the chain of command is a very dangerous thing for
03:10sitting members of Congress to do subscribe to one India and never miss an update
