| 00:00:00 | YES! MORE BUREAUCRACY? |
| 00:00:02 | YES. |
| 00:00:04 | RESOURCES TO RESPOND TO THE IMMEDIATE THREAT? |
| 00:00:07 | NO. |
| 00:00:16 | MR. |
| 00:00:24 | PRESIDENT, WITH REFERENCE TO THIS COMMANDER IN CHIEF BUSINESS THAT WE HEAR ABOUT -- OH, THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF, THEY SAY. |
| 00:00:31 | I LISTEN TO MY FRIENDS ACROSS THE AISLE HERE TALK ABOUT THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF. |
| 00:00:35 | "WE MUST DO THIS FOR THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF. |
| 00:00:38 | WE MUST STAND SHOULDER TO SHOULDER WITH THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF. |
| 00:00:41 | " THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF. |
| 00:00:45 | .. OF WHAT IS HE COMMANDER IN CHIEF? |
| 00:00:47 | OF THE ARMY, THE NAVY, AND THE MILITIA OF THE SEVERAL STATES. |
| 00:00:54 | BUT WHO PROVIDES THE ARMY AND THE NAVY? |
| 00:00:59 | WHO PROVIDES FOR THE CALLING OUT OF THE MILITIA OF THE SEVERAL STATES? |
| 00:01:02 | CONGRESS. |
| 00:01:07 | SO MUCH FOR THE -- FOR THE SO-CALLED -- FOR THE TERM COMMANDER IN CHIEF. |
| 00:01:14 | CHARLES I USED THAT TERM IN 163 1639. |
| 00:01:19 | COMMANDER IN CHIEF. |
| 00:01:20 | YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO CHARLIE 1 OF ENGLAND? |
| 00:01:25 | HA-HA-HA-HA. |
| 00:01:27 | HA-HA-HA. |
| 00:01:30 | THE SWORDSMAN CUT OFF CHARLES I HEAD ON JANUARY THE 30TH, 1649. |
| 00:01:40 | SO MUCH FOR THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF. |
| 00:01:44 | PARLIAMENT AND THE KING IN ENGLAND FOUGHT A WAR. |
| 00:01:48 | CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT? |
| 00:01:49 | CAN YOU IMAGINE CONGRESS FIGHTING A WAR WITH THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES? |
| 00:01:55 | THEY DID THAT IN ENGLAND. |
| 00:01:58 | YES. PARLIAMENT AND THE -- AND THE KING FOUGHT A WAR. |
| 00:02:01 | WHO LOST? THE KING. |
| 00:02:04 | WHO WAS HE? KING CHARLES I. |
| 00:02:11 | AND A HIGH COURT CONVENED ON JANUARY THE 1ST, I BELIEVE IT WAS, 1649. |
| 00:02:18 | AND WITHIN 30 DAYS, THEY'D CUT CHARLES I HEAD OFF, SEVERED IT FROM HIS BODY. |
| 00:02:25 | HA, SO MUCH FOR CHARLES I. |
| 00:02:27 | THAT WAS THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF CHIEF. |
| 00:02:30 | YEAH. HAIL TO THE CHIEF! HAIL TO THE CHIEF EXCLAIM HAIL TO THE CHIEF. |
| 00:02:36 | I RESPECT THE PRESIDENT JUST AS MUCH AS ANYBODY ELSE DOES. |
| 00:02:40 | BUT THE BARONS AT RUNNYMEADE ON THE BANKS OF THE THAMES ON JUNE 15, 1215, TOOK IT UPON THEMSELVES TO LET THE KING KNOW THAT THERE WAS A LAW AND THAT KINGS HAD TO -- HAD TO LIVE BY THE LAW JUST AS DID BARONS AND OTHERS. |
| 00:03:07 | SO I DON'T KNOW WHO'S TALKING TO THIS PRESIDENT DOWN HERE. |
| 00:03:09 | I DON'T KNOW WHO AMONG HIS CROWD DOWN THERE IS TRYING TO PUMP HIM UP. |
| 00:03:15 | BUT MY FRIENDS, THIS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IS PRESIDENT BY VIRTUE OF THIS CONSTITUTION. |
| 00:03:25 | HE WAS CREATED BY THIS CONSTITUTION THAT I HOLD IN MY HAND. |
| 00:03:31 | WHICH SAYS IN ARTICLE 2 THAT THE PRESIDENT SHALL BE COMMANDER IN CHIEF. |
| 00:03:35 | ARTICLE 2 OF THE CONSTITUTION. |
| 00:03:37 | THE CONSTITUTION, I SAY. |
| 00:03:38 | AND YET -- AND YET THIS ADMINISTRATION REFERS TO THE CONSTITUTION IN THIS NATIONAL SECURITY STRATEGY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, PRINTED ON SEPTEMBER 20002, REFERS TO THE CONSTITUTION -- SEPTEMBER 2002, REFERS TO THE CONSTITUTION NOT EVEN WITH A CAPITAL LETTER. |
| 00:04:00 | THE CONSTITUTION, AMERICA'S CONSTITUTION. |
| 00:04:02 | WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THOSE PEOPLE? |
| 00:04:04 | HAVEN'T THEY STUDIED THE CONSTITUTION DOWN THERE AT THE OTHER END OF THE AVENUE? |
| 00:04:07 | WELL, THEY BETTER BECOME AWARE THAT THERE IS A CONSTITUTION. |
| 00:04:12 | AND THAT CONSTITUTION REFUTES -- IT REFUTES THIS RESOLUTION ON WHICH CONGRESS IS ABOUT TO VOTE TO GIVE TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES THE POWER TO DETERMINE THE USE OF THE MILITARY FORCES, WHEN HE WILL USE THEM, WHERE HE WILL USE THEM, HOW LONG HE WILL USE THEM. |
| 00:04:36 | n IT'S THIS CONSTITUTION. |
| 00:04:38 | AND YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT MAY I SAY TO THOSE WHO ADVISE THE PRESIDENT. |
| 00:04:41 | I THINK THE PRESIDENT IS PROBABLY A MUCH BETTER INDIVIDUAL BY HIMSELF, BUT SOMEBODY IS GIVING HIM BAD ADVICE. |
| 00:04:52 | SO HERE'S WHAT -- HERE'S WHAT HAMILTON SAID. |
| 00:04:55 | LET'S READ WHAT HAMILTON SAYS. |
| 00:04:59 | YOU KNOW, HE'S ONE OF THE THREE AUTHORS OF THE "FEDERALIST" PAPERS. |
| 00:05:04 | HAMILTON. |
| 00:05:05 | THAT MAN WHO WAS SHOT TO DEATH DEATH, AND WE -- IN NEW JERSEY. |
| 00:05:12 | SHOT ON THE 11TH OF JULY, 1804. |
| 00:05:18 | HE DIED ON THE 12TH OF JULY, 1804. |
| 00:05:23 | SHOT BY THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, MURDERED BY THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. |
| 00:05:34 | ALEXANDER HAMILTON. |
| 00:05:36 | LET'S HEAR WHAT HE HAS TO SAY IN THE "FEDERALIST" PAPER NUMBER 69. |
| 00:05:40 | READ IT. |
| 00:05:41 | THESE ARE "THE FEDERALIST" PAPERS. |
| 00:05:43 | THERE ARE 85 OF THEM WRITTEN |
