00:00¿Qué es lo más peligroso que los Estados Unidos ha tenido en modernidad?
00:30¿Qué es lo más peligroso que los Estados Unidos?
01:00We are the longest standing democracy in the world, going back to the 1770s, where Americans overthrew the British Empire to create their own country, and with a strong constitution and a strong declaration of independence.
01:48What Trump is doing to America's presence internationally as well, and I think many of us are fighting back as best we can, and I think we are succeeding in the sense that Trump's popularity is declining every single day.
02:05We have never seen anybody, any president, who has had such contempt for the rule of law.
02:10I mean, you can't have a democratic society where you do not obey the law, all right?
02:18And that's the first time that we've really seen that.
02:21I mean, there have been very strong differences between the left and the right, but you don't question it.
02:26If there's an election and you win the election, I don't, you know, threaten you.
02:30So Trump is changing the name of the game, and I think we are working hard both legally and in a number of instances our courts are doing the right thing.
02:42They're holding up defending the constitution, some cases not.
02:45But at the end of the day, it is going to have to be the American people who say no to authoritarianism.
02:54This country, unlike Europe in many ways, I mean, we have, going back to the 1770s, fought against authoritarianism and tyranny.
03:07And I think there is a deep sense, even among people with different political views, that we do not want some dictator-type guy running this country.
03:21And our goal, and we're doing that.
03:23We've had rallies where millions of people have come out.
03:26We're winning elections.
03:30And we have got to continue to educate and organize grassroots opposition to Trumpism.
03:37I hope very much that right now, as you know, the Republicans with a very tiny majority control the House, they control the Senate, and obviously Trump is in the White House.
04:00My hope is that in 2026, our midterm elections, Democrats will regain control over the House.
04:08I think that is a real possibility.
04:11If the election were held today, I believe that would happen.
04:15And there is a possibility, a more distant possibility, but a possibility Democrats could win the Senate.
04:21But if that happens, we will be able to negate and hold back a lot of what Trump is doing.
04:29As you know, there are strong differences of opinion in the Democratic Party.
04:33I am one of the leaders of the progressive movement, and we're taking on the establishment.
04:37And I think one of the reasons that Trump is in power, and this is similar to what's going on in Europe, is the failure of the old established left-wing parties to address the needs of the working class.
04:50That is certainly true in America.
04:51Having said that, I think that there were, as you know, some elections, a small number of elections in November of 2025.
05:05Democrats won much better than expected in New Jersey, governorship in Virginia, and Zoran Mamdani won an extraordinary victory in New York City.
05:15I want the people of Europe to know that while Trump does have a very loyal following, my guess is it's about 30% of the American people, and those people are authoritarian-minded.
05:33They like the idea of a strong leader.
05:36Europe is familiar with that phenomenon, yes.
05:38You've had a little bit of that in Spain, Italy, Germany, etc.
05:43And they like the idea, but that strong support is minority.
05:50A majority of the American, not a majority, but a significant plurality of the American people are very strongly opposed to what Trump is doing.
06:00So I don't want anybody in Europe to think that Trump is reflecting where most Americans are at.
06:07He is not.
06:08Some Americans, yes, but most Americans, no.
06:13I would also say that one of the reasons, and it's an issue, an area that I am working hard on,
06:20one of the reasons that Trump won the election is not because people voted for him to invade Denmark or to attack Venezuela
06:30or to try to cozy up to Saudi Arabia or the UAE.
06:38They voted for him because, and I think Europeans don't know this, the working class in this country is really struggling.
06:48Many Europeans don't know that we are the only major country on earth that doesn't guarantee health care to all people.
06:57That means that as we speak, there are millions of Americans who cannot afford to go to a doctor when they get sick.
07:04So almost a third of our population is either uninsured or underinsured.
07:08Can't get to a doctor.
07:09We pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs.
07:13We are dying at a younger age than people in Europe.
07:19Our education system right now, it is very expensive to go to college.
07:24Many people can't afford it.
07:25They can't afford child care.
07:27Housing in America is extremely high.
07:29So one of the reasons that Trump has been successful is that working class people have looked to the Democrats
07:36and the Democrats have not really delivered for them.
07:40So what many of us are doing, myself, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Azaran Mamdani, and others, many others,
07:48are trying to transform the Democratic Party to a party of the working class prepared to take on the oligarchs.
07:54It is maybe the worst Supreme Court decision in American history because what it does is undermine American democracy.
08:16What it says is that we have a First Amendment called freedom of speech, right?
08:21So you want to go out there, you want to write an article attacking me, you have the right to do that.
08:24Now, you're protected by the Constitution.
08:29But what the Supreme Court said is that if you're a billionaire, you have unlimited amounts of money,
08:35you could spend as much money as you want through a super PAC to buy an election.
08:42That's your freedom of speech.
08:44You want to spend $100 million on ads against Bernie Sanders, it's your right.
08:48And that is a terrible decision, and the consequences of it are that Elon Musk himself spent $290 million to elect Donald Trump.
09:03And I suspect Musk will spend hundreds, well, I don't know, tens of millions of dollars in the midterm elections.
09:09Other billionaires, mostly Republicans, but some Democrats as well, are spending huge amounts of money.
09:16This is undermining democracy.
09:19So Musk is now funding right-wing parties all over the world, Europe and elsewhere.
09:25Trump is certainly doing the same, wishing his friends in Latin America, supporting his friends in Latin America.
09:32So we're looking at a coming together of the billionaire oligarchs with right-wing extremist parties who do not believe in democracy.
09:43To my mind, the answer to that, and where the democratic establishment parties in Europe have failed, as has the democratic party here,
09:53is having the guts and the agenda to stand up to the oligarchs.
09:59All right?
10:01And we have failed here, the democratic party here has failed, and that's the fight that we're having right now.
10:05You cannot have democracy when you have a few people with so much wealth and power, and we've got to take them on.
10:13I think, number one, it is disgusting beyond words that anybody would exploit young girls the way that Epstein and his friends did.
10:25That goes without saying.
10:26That is beyond disgusting.
10:28But second of all, I think your point is right in that what it also shows that if you are rich and you are powerful,
10:38you live in a different world and you can play by a different set of rules, often with impunity.
10:45And I think that is, so the American people are responding to the Epstein situation in two ways.
10:51That's number one, disgust with the outrageous behavior and exploitation of girls.
11:00That's number one.
11:01But number two, the understanding that if your kid goes into a store and robs a store,
11:07a book is going to be thrown and a kid be thrown in jail.
11:10But if you are a billionaire and you do terrible things to children, well, you know, that's another story.
11:16And that just shows, I think, the American people are seeing the incredible power of the elite, of the billionaire class across political lines.
11:27It doesn't matter whether you're liberal or a conservative, Democrat or Republican.
11:30Somehow all of these folks get together and they do what they want in their world.
11:35And I think that is one of the reasons that I think more and more people are prepared to take on oligarchs in this country.
11:46And I want the people of Latin America to understand that.
11:54It is no great secret that for many, many years, the United States dominated Latin America, overthrew government after government,
12:02Salvador Allende being one of many.
12:06And that is not what the American people want.
12:12The people of Latin America have a right to determine their own futures in partnership with the United States,
12:20not dominated by the United States.
12:23So there are many of us who will do everything that we can to resist the United States government
12:30using its power to determine governance in Latin America.
12:38That's a violation of international law.
12:41I mean, but, and it's something that the, and in extreme cases, the international community would have to deal with.
12:50But the idea that a strong nation can unilaterally decide who's going to be running another country
12:59sets a precedent for every country on Earth to do the same.
13:05So I have been very strong, as has people throughout Europe and the world,
13:10in condemning Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
13:13Now, Putin had his reasons.
13:15They were lies.
13:16What he's doing is horrible.
13:18But how can the United States condemn Putin or anybody else
13:21if we think that, if the United States government thinks it can overthrow governments
13:26and take unilateral military action?
13:28If this planet is going to survive, we have to do it through diplomacy.
13:32We have to sit down and work our things.
13:34You can't have nations simply invading other nations at the whim of the leader.
13:39Look, I don't know.
13:44I mean, with Trump, you have an unstable, irrational leader.
13:51So I don't know what he's, nobody knows what he will do tomorrow.
13:55And I fear very much that there are not cool-headed advisors around him.
14:02I think he has intimidated his own advisors who will not speak up against him.
14:06But I think Scheinbaum appears to be, I'm not an expert on Mexico by any means,
14:13and appears to be doing a good job.
14:26The people of Minnesota have been extraordinarily brave.
14:30And I think history will record that 50,000, some 50,000 people in Minnesota came out
14:40on a bitter cold day, well below zero, to oppose ICE and what Trump is doing in that state.
14:52They stood up and they fought back.
14:53And that was an inspiration to people, I think, all over our country.
15:00So right now, I think the shooting, the killing of Mr. Pratty, good, was a wake-up call.
15:10And bashing down of doors and the arresting of five-year-old children.
15:13I think the American people are saying, that is not what this country is about.
15:21I brought, introduced an amendment that would rescind the extraordinary increase in funding
15:28that ICE got in the so-called Big Beautiful Bill.
15:32Other people are taking different actions.
15:34But we are trying now to make sure that ICE operates within a constitutional and legal framework.
15:44Take that with a grain of salt.
15:48I think what Trump understands, he reads polls very, very closely.
15:53The American people do not like what happened in Minnesota.
15:55So what they're going to say is, okay, we're cutting back.
15:58To what degree they are, I don't have a lot of confidence in them.
16:04I think Trump is an authoritarian.
16:05He has a domestic army.
16:07And I think he will use it when he feels it's appropriate.
16:10What I think is, what ICE is about, is the movement toward authoritarianism, the stifling of dissent.
16:20So it's not just, you know, it's a people stand up.
16:24If he's an observer, he's there to watch it.
16:26He's going to get arrested.
16:27He's going to get profiled.
16:30All right.
16:30So if you want to stand up to Trump, you are in trouble.
16:33That's authoritarianism.
16:34That's the exact opposite of American freedom.
16:37I think that's a lot.
16:38It's a show of strength.
16:39We have an army, and we will go after you if you resist us.
16:45That's kind of the message of what he is trying to do.
16:47Yeah.
