Summary
The prosecution and the defense ended their closing arguments late last night in Donald J. Trump’s trial in New York City. A verdict could be reached as soon as today. Our nation is threatened by a poisoning ideology that the solution to America’s unrest is violence and theft against fellow citizens. Today, we remind ourselves of our calling to love another: to love America is to love Americans.

| 0:17.0 | The prosecution and the defense ended their closing arguments late last night in Donald J. Trump's |

| 1:35.3 | Here's the part I want to consider today. Quote, we live in an age, I'll say this quickly as we all |
| 1:41.2 | know it, in which children are instructed in 100 different ways through |
