[00:00:02]  Hi, this is Dr.
[00:00:03]  Pchenik, and today I want to address the issues that the Republican constituents brought up, particularly George Conway, Kellyanne Conway's husband, and a bunch of other Republicans of the Heritage Foundation, which is no more than a geriatric unit for Republicans, who said the following, that Trump is narcissistic, he's dangerous, he doesn't follow the rule of law.
[00:00:26]  What we should do is glorify the presidency of Lincoln.
[00:00:31]  And I said, okay, let's learn a little bit of history, George.
[00:00:34]  Number one, Lincoln was a tyrant.
[00:00:36]  He clearly created a war against the South because he had economic interest.
[00:00:43]  He was interested in the waterways.
[00:00:44]  He was interested in New Orleans.
[00:00:46]  There was an imposition of a tariff called the Morrill Tariff, M-O-R-R-I-L-L, Which favored Pennsylvania and the northern states and forced the southern states to secede from the Union.
[00:00:58]  He did not like blacks.
[00:01:00]  He felt that blacks were inferior.
[00:01:01]  They had to go back to their homeland.
[00:01:03]  Even when the blacks were freed, he sent them down to Central America, South America.
[00:01:08]  And he created a war that was called a civil war.
[00:01:11]  It was not a civil war.
[00:01:13]  It was auto-genocide.
[00:01:14]  As somebody who'd been in Cambodia and took down the Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot and Hansen, I can tell you that the slaughter of 800,000...
[00:01:23]  Northerners and Southerners was nothing more than a slaughter.
[00:01:26]  Another million men were wounded and then he created what we call the absence of habeas corpus.
[00:01:33]  He arrested thousands of reporters and judges.
[00:01:37]  And this is what George Conway and Republicans want to admire.
[00:01:41]  So let's go a little bit further.
[00:01:42]  In turn, Lincoln was an ethnic cleanser.
[00:01:46]  When he freed the slaves, he said, those slaves that are there, we have to send them back to Latin American Haiti.
[00:01:52]  General Hunter said, no, I'm going to release and I'm going to save 100,000 slaves, which he did.
[00:01:59]  He was a northern general.
[00:02:00]  And in turn, Lincoln rearrested them and made them slaves again.
[00:02:05]  So what we have is a paradigm of a president who was really ruthless, tyrannical, was bipolar and had Marfan syndrome.
[00:02:13]  But in turn, hadn't that come out to be one of our leaders?
[00:02:15]  Well, you can thank Walt Whitman and Captain, my captain.
[00:02:19]  And you can thank Carl Sandberg, who won a Pulitzer Prize on the autobiography of Lincoln, which was a disaster and a distortion.
[00:02:28]  What's coming out now is both the Democrats and the Republicans really have no idea of American history.
[00:02:34]  They make it sound as if we were puritanical, we had a rule of law, and we have nothing but caring about the absolute powers of the presidency.
[00:02:43]  Well, that's not correct.
[00:02:44]  Correct.
[00:02:45]  As I pointed out, Abraham Lincoln was just one in a whole number of presidents who were ruthless.
[00:02:51]  FDR was ruthless.
[00:02:53]  He broke the Lend-Lease Agreement.
[00:02:55]  Bush was ruthless and invaded Noriega when he didn't have to.
[00:03:00]  Bush Jr.
[00:03:02]  invaded Iraq and Afghanistan when we didn't have to.
[00:03:05]  But here we have Trump brought up on the most minor concerns of any presidency, and he doesn't follow the rule of law.
[00:03:13]  What's important to understand from my point of view is that America has to understand that we have a history of being ruthless, we have a history of being incredibly powerful, and we are a war-making nation.
[00:03:29]  Beyond the Civil War, where we killed over a million men, We went on to Korea.
[00:03:36]  We went on to Vietnam.
[00:03:37]  We went on to Iraq.
[00:03:39]  We went on to Afghanistan.
[00:03:41]  Now, I'm not condemning my nation.
[00:03:42]  I know exactly what it is that we do.
[00:03:45]  We're a republic.
[00:03:46]  Once again, let me repeat it.
[00:03:47]  We are not a democracy.
[00:03:49]  We are a representational government on all levels of government.
[00:03:53]  So that means the president is representational of the desire of the people, not of Congress.
[00:03:59]  Congress is a representational government.
[00:04:02]  It is not a democratic entity.
[00:04:05]  These are the words that have to be understood, that we have to accept Trump.
[00:04:09]  He is narcissistic.
[00:04:11]  He's self-aggrandizing.
[00:04:12]  But you know what?
[00:04:13]  He's going to close the China deal and he's already doing it.
[00:04:17]  We're going to have peace with North Korea.
[00:04:18]  He's pulled out troops from the Middle East and he's made an economy that's formidable.
[00:04:24]  Let me quote George Santana.
[00:04:27]  If we don't learn our history, we're going to repeat the mistakes of the past.
[00:04:31]  But let me quote Animal House that says the following about George Conway.
[00:04:36]  Being fat, short, and stupid is no way to live a life.
