0:00.0	It is the 30th of May, and it is a historic day in America. A former president of the United States, Donald John Trump, is before the sun sets on the East Coast a convicted felon, found guilty on all 34 counts. He will be sentenced on July the 11th. All of this has been prologue to what is going to come
0:27.7	next. And what's going to come next is chaos. Donald Trump has been unhinged as of late in case you haven't noticed. What we will see tonight are epic
0:41.2	tweet storms. We will see him threaten the country, the jurors, the judge, the system. He will be
0:50.5	enraged. But what has changed in America during the Trump era is the abdication completely,
0:59.0	totally, and absolutely of all standards whatsoever, moral and otherwise by the former party of values,
1:10.0	the Republican Party, the MAGA fascist party.
1:14.7	What we will see next from the MAGA Republican Party is a wholesale capitulation
1:21.1	to the man they have made a wholesale capitulation to nine years ago. The Republican Party of 2024 will get in line
1:32.9	absolutely behind a convicted felon. There are no standards whatsoever. So graduates of some of the
1:41.3	most elite law schools in the country, Tom Cotton, Harvard Law School,
1:46.1	Ted Cruz, Harvard Law School, Josh Holly, Yale Law School, every one of these people,
1:52.6	Lindsey Graham, they will all get in line behind the convicted felon.
1:59.8	Donald Trump has brought this shame and disgrace on his company,
2:05.3	on his family, and on the nation. It is a tragic day that the presidency has been so debased,
2:13.8	but it is a glorious day because in America, no one is above the law.
2:20.6	Not even the man who tried to incite an insurrection and overthrow the legitimate results of an election.
2:29.2	He is tonight convicted, a convicted felon in the state of New York. But make no mistake, we are in a
2:39.4	constitutional crisis because our judicial system is corrupted at the Supreme Court. We are in a
2:49.0	constitutional crisis because the elected heads of the legislative branch who are members of the Republican Party do not believe in elections any more than they believe in the rule of law.
3:01.5	This is the beginning, and soon we will know the answer to a question.
3:12.4	Will being a convicted felon hurt Trump at all?
3:15.8	It's not a theoretical question anymore.
