00:00President Trump lashed out at six Democratic lawmakers who made a video aimed at the U.S.

00:05military that said, well, listen. The threats to our Constitution aren't just coming from abroad,

00:09but from right here at home. Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders. You can refuse

00:15illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the

00:21law or our Constitution. The president, if you couldn't guess, wasn't happy and he didn't hide

00:27it. He posted on Truth Social in part, each one of these traitors to our country should be arrested

00:32and put on trial. Now, the Dems in the video are Senators Alyssa Slotkin of Michigan and Mark

00:38Kelly of Arizona, alongside Representatives Chris DeLucio and Chrissy Houlihan of Pennsylvania,

00:43Mackie Goodlander of New Hampshire and Jason Crow of Colorado. All six of them have military or

00:49national security backgrounds. Something that the president also said in that Truth Social rant

00:55led to a tense exchange with White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt. The president truthed

01:01these words, quote, seditious behavior punishable by death. And Levitt was asked if the president was

01:08calling for the execution of members of Congress. She said no, but added this. To suggest and encourage

01:15that active duty service members defy the chain of command is a very dangerous thing for sitting

01:20members of Congress to do. And they should be held accountable. And that's what the president wants to

01:25say.
