00:00Let us please take note when the Supreme Court recently basically told this

00:06individual, who has been convicted of fraud, that going forward he will be

00:13immune for activity we know he is prepared to engage in if he gets back

00:18into the White House. Consider, Donald Trump openly vowed, if reelected, that he

00:25will be a dictator on day one, that he will weaponize the Department of

00:29Justice against his political enemies, that he will round up peaceful

00:34protesters and throw them out of our country and even, quote, terminate the

00:41United States Constitution. Well, not on our watch. President Biden and I will

00:47always fight to protect our Constitution.

00:56And Trump's advisers have created a 900 page blueprint of their agenda for a

01:05second term. They call it Project 2025 and it includes a plan, it includes a

01:14plan to cut Social Security, to repeal our $35 cap on insulin, to eliminate the

01:24Department of Education and end programs like Head Start. And if Donald

01:30Trump wins a second term, he will continue his full-on assault on

01:35reproductive freedom. Remember, then President Donald Trump handpicked three

01:41members of the United States Supreme Court because he intended for them to

01:46undo the protections of Roe v. Wade. And as he intended, they did. Now, over 20

01:54states have an abortion ban, a Trump abortion ban. Today in America, one in

02:02three women of reproductive age lives in a state with a Trump abortion ban. Many

02:09with no exception, even for rape and incest. And Trump says he is, quote,

02:15proudly the person responsible for overturning Roe. We all know one does

02:22not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree. The

02:27government should not be telling her what to do with her body.

02:31And make no mistake, if he gets the chance, he will sign a national abortion

02:46ban to outlaw abortion in every single state. But we are not going to let that

02:53happen. We have worked. We have all together worked too hard and fought too

03:02long to see our daughters grow up in a world with fewer rights than our mothers.
