Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.10,0:00:02.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,six months ago here in New York City, I
Dialogue: 0,0:00:02.55,0:00:07.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,made the case that Donald Trump was dangerously incompetent and
Dialogue: 0,0:00:07.58,0:00:11.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,incapable of world leadership in the past few days in
Dialogue: 0,0:00:11.50,0:00:14.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the wake of the killing of the Iranian general solo
Dialogue: 0,0:00:14.22,0:00:18.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,money, I think Donald Trump has proven beyond that
Dialogue: 0,0:00:18.44,0:00:23.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,comment beyond dispute, haphazard decision making process that led
Dialogue: 0,0:00:23.14,0:00:27.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,up to it the failure to consult with our allies
Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.13,0:00:31.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or Congress and the reckless disregard for the consequences that
Dialogue: 0,0:00:31.41,0:00:34.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,would surely follow. I was, in my view
Dialogue: 0,0:00:34.28,0:00:38.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,, dangerously incompetent. VOCs in wake of such an
Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.32,0:00:43.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,enormous escalation that has exploded geopolitics in the region and
Dialogue: 0,0:00:43.38,0:00:45.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,put the United States and Iran on a collision course
Dialogue: 0,0:00:46.68,0:00:51.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that what we expect from an American president Well,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.34,0:00:53.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what we've heard from what have we heard from President
Dialogue: 0,0:00:53.39,0:00:57.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Trump? We have not heard a sober minded explanation
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.69,0:01:00.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to assure the American reassure the American people that this
Dialogue: 0,0:01:00.39,0:01:07.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,decision and his consequences were thought through no level headed
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.04,0:01:11.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,words meant to dial down the tensions and thio take
Dialogue: 0,0:01:11.46,0:01:15.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,us off the path of conflict. No press conference
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.88,0:01:19.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or consultation with our Congress. No, what we
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.10,0:01:23.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,heard so far from this president tweets, threads and
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.81,0:01:30.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,tantrums all we've heard from this administration or shifting explanations
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.77,0:01:34.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,, evasive answers, repeated assertions of an imminent threat
Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.28,0:01:38.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,without the necessary evidence to support that conclusion. And
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.22,0:01:42.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,since this is a president with the history of lying
Dialogue: 0,0:01:42.36,0:01:47.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about virtually everything who has destroyed his own credibility in
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.26,0:01:49.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that of the United States on a global stage,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.91,0:01:55.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,knew the American people nor our allies. And indeed
Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.60,0:01:57.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,no one around the world seems to be taking his
Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.20,0:02:00.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,word for it. If there was an imminent threat
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.64,0:02:07.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that required this extraordinary action that that we are,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.54,0:02:10.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we're owed an explanation and the facts to back it
Dialogue: 0,0:02:10.08,0:02:15.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,up. But the, uh, these matters are
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.61,0:02:20.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,deadly import, and to me, they are unmistakably
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.26,0:02:23.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,clear. Donald Trump does not have me make it
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.99,0:02:25.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,clear. Does not have the authority to go toward
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.20,0:02:30.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Iran without congressional congressional authorization. Hi, everyone.
