1
00:00:00.270 --> 00:00:04.590
-After he knew that violence
was underway at the Capital,

2
00:00:04.590 --> 00:00:07.470
President Trump took actions
that further incited

3
00:00:07.470 --> 00:00:10.190
the insurgents
to be more inflamed,

4
00:00:10.190 --> 00:00:13.720
and to take even
more extreme, selective,

5
00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:17.930
and focused action against
Vice President Mike Pence.

6
00:00:17.930 --> 00:00:20.060
And when he was told that the
insurgents inside the Capital

7
00:00:20.060 --> 00:00:23.610
were Trump supporters,
the president said, quote,

8
00:00:23.610 --> 00:00:28.770
"Well, Kevin, I guess
these people are more upset

9
00:00:28.770 --> 00:00:32.180
about the election
than you are."

10
00:00:32.180 --> 00:00:34.790
Trump was doing nothing to help
the people

11
00:00:34.790 --> 00:00:36.970
in this room
or this building.

12
00:00:36.970 --> 00:00:38.620
It's now clear beyond doubt

13
00:00:38.620 --> 00:00:41.690
that Trump supported
the actions of the mob.

14
00:00:41.690 --> 00:00:43.610
And so, he must be convicted.

15
00:00:43.610 --> 00:00:44.540
It's that simple.

16
00:00:44.540 --> 00:00:46.500
No one is suggesting
that President Trump

17
00:00:46.500 --> 00:00:50.680
intended every detail
of what happened on January 6th.

18
00:00:50.680 --> 00:00:54.370
But when he directed the sea
of thousands before him,

19
00:00:54.370 --> 00:00:57.450
who were reportedly ready
to engage in real violence --

20
00:00:57.450 --> 00:01:00.480
when he told that crowd
to "fight like hell,"

21
00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:03.660
he incited violence
targeted at the Capital,

22
00:01:03.660 --> 00:01:05.930
and he most certainly
foresaw it.

23
00:01:05.930 --> 00:01:08.180
This was on live television.

24
00:01:08.180 --> 00:01:10.060
So, defense counsel
is suggesting

25
00:01:10.060 --> 00:01:12.400
that the president
of the United States

26
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:16.360
knew less about this
than the American people.

27
00:01:16.360 --> 00:01:18.940
This is just not possible.

28
00:01:18.940 --> 00:01:22.540
-What happens if we don't
confront these facts?

29
00:01:22.540 --> 00:01:27.250
What happens if there is
no accountability?

30
00:01:27.250 --> 00:01:29.780
For those who say we need
to get past this,

31
00:01:29.780 --> 00:01:33.700
we need to come together,
we need to unify,

32
00:01:33.700 --> 00:01:38.660
if we don't set this right,
and call it what it was --

33
00:01:38.660 --> 00:01:41.620
the highest of
constitutional crimes

34
00:01:41.620 --> 00:01:44.830
by the president
of the United States --

35
00:01:44.830 --> 00:01:47.540
the past will not be past.

36
00:01:47.540 --> 00:01:49.660
The past will become our future.

37
00:01:49.660 --> 00:01:54.340
-Impeachment is a remedy
separate and apart

38
00:01:54.340 --> 00:01:55.800
from the criminal
justice system --

39
00:01:55.800 --> 00:01:57.950
and for good reason.

40
00:01:57.950 --> 00:02:01.890
The presidency, it comes
with special powers --

41
00:02:01.890 --> 00:02:07.480
extraordinary powers not
bestowed on ordinary citizens.

42
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:09.860
And if those powers are abused,

43
00:02:09.860 --> 00:02:13.770
they can cause great damage
to our country.

44
00:02:13.770 --> 00:02:16.650
And they have to be dealt with
in a separate forum.

45
00:02:16.650 --> 00:02:20.740
We all know that
President Trump's defense --

46
00:02:20.740 --> 00:02:22.450
as we predicted --

47
00:02:22.450 --> 00:02:26.230
spent a lot of time --
all their time --

48
00:02:26.230 --> 00:02:29.310
comparing his conduct
to other politicians

49
00:02:29.310 --> 00:02:30.900
using words like "fight."

50
00:02:30.900 --> 00:02:35.340
Of course, you saw
the hours of video.

51
00:02:35.340 --> 00:02:40.340
As I said on Thursday, we trust
you to know the difference,

52
00:02:40.340 --> 00:02:47.230
because what you will not find
in those video montages

53
00:02:47.230 --> 00:02:51.790
they showed you is
any of those speeches,

54
00:02:51.790 --> 00:02:55.920
those remarks, culminating in
a violent insurrection

55
00:02:55.920 --> 00:02:57.570
on our nation's capital.
