00:00That is what authoritarianism is all about.
00:06One of the dangers of Trumpism is we begin to accept this thing as normal.
00:12You have a president of the United States who now tells us that the New York Times,
00:16the Washington Post, all of the newspapers, all of the networks are lying.
00:20There's an article in the New York Times hypothetically saying that his companies are making money
00:24as a result of his policies.
00:25Don't believe that!
00:27That's the New York Times.
00:28We know that they lie all the time.
00:30So what you do is you destroy people's confidence in all of the institutions.
00:36And then who is the only person that we can have confidence in?
00:40Oh my God, it's not the media.
00:42It's not the judiciary, is it?
00:44It's not elected officials in the Congress.
00:46No, no.
00:47It's one person who, thank God, is sitting there strong and proud and protecting us.
00:53And that is Donald Trump.
00:54That is what authoritarianism is all about.
