00:00This is something that no generation of American has ever seen, not in 250 years of constitutional
00:06history. A group of sitting members of Congress, senators and representatives, went on camera
00:12and told active duty military personnel and the CIA to ignore orders of the President of the
00:19United States. You can refuse illegal orders. You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse
00:25illegal orders. What message is that sending to the rest of the world? For the first time
00:33in American political history, members of the United States Congress openly encouraged
00:38the military to look at the commander in chief and say, no, you can say, and it's reasonable
00:43to say, well, this is just advice, right? It's a reminder that you don't follow illegal
00:47orders. Sounds reasonable until you look at history because history has a merciless way
00:54of identifying patterns long before politicians will admit to them. In the entire American
01:03experiment, there are only a handful of moments anything like this has occurred, and every
01:09single one of those was a moment that was a prelude to national fracture. 1860 to 1861,
01:17it was the secession winter. Southern leaders encouraged officers at the federal level and
01:23forts to abandon the Union and pledge loyalty to the states. Not normal politics. This was the
01:29beginning of the rupture, and then came Fort Sumter. 1870, Reconstruction. Some states rejected
01:35federal authority outright. Sheriffs, militias, even sometimes judges refused federal directives,
01:41but Congress itself, they never told the army to ignore the President. In Vietnam, members of Congress
01:48denounced the war, denounced Nixon, denounced Johnson, but no one ever told active duty troops,
01:55disobey the Commander-in-Chief. It wasn't done. Because every generation up until this one understood
02:03something very basic. You cannot politicize the chain of command without breaking the Republic.
02:10And once the military begins to decide on its own which orders are legitimate, which president they
02:17prefer, you no longer have civilian control. You no longer have a Republic. You have factions inside
02:23an armed institution. And that is exactly how nations collapse, and every single one of those
02:31sitting representatives know it. Turkey, Argentina, Spain, Egypt, every single example, the pattern is
02:39always the same. Political parties begin encouraging the military to resist the other side,
02:45and the center completely collapses. And this is the part where you need to hear me clearly.
02:52What we saw here this week with this is not the Bubba effect, where ordinary citizens lose trust
02:59in authority or rally behind the local guy. No, no, no. This is something far more seditious and serious.
03:06This is the institutional Bubba effect, where leaders inside the government, with their own plan,
03:14the political class, begin urging Bubba in the military to take sides in domestic political disputes.
03:23That is a very, very bright line. The great unbroken line in American history. Unbroken in our history.
03:33That line kept us from becoming every other failed republic. And now, these people have stepped over it.
03:42Now, let me take on Donald Trump. Is this treason? No. Treason has a very narrow definition. Thank God.
03:50It requires aiding an enemy of the United States or levying war against the United States.
03:56So, this is not treason in the strict constitutional sense. But here's the question.
04:02Isn't it something just as dangerous? Isn't it an attempt, intentional or not, to plant the idea
04:09inside the military that the president's orders are optional? The military does not take sides.
04:18Period. Even if these lawmakers thought they were just, you know, recommending moral guidance.
04:25They were, they believe they were just reminding the troops to refuse illegal orders.
04:31That's not your job. That's the job of the generals and the job of Pete Hegseth.
04:37They do that in every classroom. Every time they're sworn in, they are told those words.
04:43That comes from within the ranks, not from political leadership.
04:49They told, they told the, the rest of the world that in the bloodstream of our republic now
04:55is questioning the president. And that is unprecedented. It's historic and impossible
05:01to remove because it breaks the guardrails.
