00:00right? Later, the letter stated, regardless of our political affiliation or whether we
00:10engage in politics or not, we all love our country. Still with me? Not so fast. The phrase
00:20we all love our country stuck in my throat. Because our country isn't so lovable right
00:26now. I hate to say it, but loving our country is starting to sound like an abused spouse
00:32saying they love their abuser. I can't love a country that starts stupid and inhumane wars.
00:48Killing thousands of innocents and indirectly causing the deaths and suffering of millions
00:53more. I can't love a country that takes health care away from millions of people and uses
01:03that money to enrich their pals in the Trump Epstein class.
01:10I can't love a country that sends out masked militias to shoot citizens in the streets,
01:15torture our neighbors, and separate families.
01:20I can't love a country that's led by a racist, misogynist, xenophobic tyrant.
01:31And let me just say it. I can't love the country that's led by Donald Trump.
01:44And a sycophant Congress. For most of my life, of course, I did love this country. The United
01:52States of America welcomed my immigrant ancestors. It gave me, my family, and my fellow citizens
01:59such rich opportunities and extraordinary freedoms. I want to love my country again.
02:13I want my country back.
02:23That's why I stand with the Committee for the First Amendment. And you, all of you, together
02:31we rise up, we sing out, we keep organizing, and we fall in love again. Thank you.
