Mike HarrisGUEST
I did an interview on Izvestia on 9-11.
Mike HarrisGUEST
And I was wearing my black suit of mourning for that day because that was the day the American, the Democratic Republic of the United States of America was murdered that day.
Mike HarrisGUEST
And that's when we got things like the surveillance state began under the Patriot Act and all of the other draconian things.
Mike HarrisGUEST
Every metric of quality of life in this country has declined since 9-11.
Mike HarrisGUEST
There isn't
Christian WhiteHOST
one.
Mike HarrisGUEST
That is the day that the Israelis, with cooperation from traitorous elements within our own government, including Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeld and that whole gang, betrayed the country and murdered the Democratic Republic of the United States.
Mike HarrisGUEST
And so these things don't happen overnight.
Thom HartmannHOST
And the Republican Party said, oh, well, we'll pick up those races.
Thom HartmannHOST
I don't think it's a sustainable thing, particularly as America moves toward being more than, you know, becoming the first majority minority Democratic Republic in the world.
Thom HartmannHOST
Vicki, I got to run, but thank you for the call.
Thom HartmannHOST
Thoughtful, thoughtful analysis.

If you were not a wealthy white man who owned people or land, you were definitely not invited to sign the Constitution.
Luke PickrellHOST
Hi everyone, and welcome to another episode of Light and Airwaves, the podcast of Marxist Unity Group, a caucus within DSA dedicated to fighting for programmatic unity around a democratic republic and socialism.
Luke PickrellHOST
My name is Luke Pickrell.
Luke PickrellHOST
On this episode, I talk with Mike McNair, a contributor to The Weekly Worker and author of the book Revolutionary Strategy.
20 MINS LATER
Luke PickrellHOST
That gets to this other question I had for you, and, and we go into it a little bit in our, in our section on the, in the reader.
Luke PickrellHOST
We just finished up doing a week on party programs, and so we talk about the minimum-maximum program.
Luke PickrellHOST
And the question inevitably arises, what's the difference between a, a minimum-maximum program, which most folks, including myself when I first was introduced to this stuff, hadn't really heard of, and a transitional program, which m- folks might have felt more, more familiar with? Can we say that a main difference is really the absence of the demand for a democratic republic, or, or, or what's, what's, what's going on here?
Mike MacnairGUEST
Uh, the maximum program for Marx, or to the extent that he...
Saladin AmbarGUEST
And I want to just say, we may lose this.
Saladin AmbarGUEST
And there's a good chance that this goes off the rails and we don't recover any semblance of what was and could be a magnificent Democratic Republic, multiracial and, you know, human centered.
Saladin AmbarGUEST
I think Dr.
Saladin AmbarGUEST
King had his doubts.
Chris HahnGUEST
And he was having a very bad day Friday when he made this decision.
Chris HahnGUEST
But ultimately, the press is part of what makes a Democratic Republic work.
Chris HahnGUEST
And the president is getting pushbacks from all quarters on this.
Chris HahnGUEST
Republicans, Democrats, independents across the board.
Danny SheehanGUEST
And that they brought in Ngo Dinh Diem.
Danny SheehanGUEST
They installed him and said, oh, there's a South Vietnamese Democratic Republic here, which had never existed.
Danny SheehanGUEST
He's wearing an I Love New York shirt.
Danny SheehanGUEST
That's right.
Jim AcostaHOST
Well, and they don't like historians.
Jim AcostaHOST
It's the historians that put Donald Trump at the bottom of all presidents since the beginning of this Democratic Republic.
Jim AcostaHOST
And so I guess they have a bias against historians.
Jim AcostaHOST
But I don't understand.
Janet GriffithNARRATOR
That is the challenge we face today.
Janet GriffithNARRATOR
The fathers of our Constitution gave our Democratic Republic three branches of government to provide a check and balance on each other.
Janet GriffithNARRATOR
Our current Congress has ceded its power to the executive branch, and the GOP-packed Supreme Court has failed to restrain executive constitutional violations.
Janet GriffithNARRATOR
The authors of our Constitution made the legislative branch Article I because of concerns about too much power in the hands of a rogue president.
Justin FreakinHOST
We're going to skip here to the end where he wraps it up.
Al GreenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Presidential oath of office to faithfully execute the office of president of the United States and to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the constitution of the United States has abused the powers of the presidency by committing high crimes and misdemeanors in a manner contrary to his trust as president has detrimentally flouted the United States Constitution by operating vicious, quota-driven, unaccountable paramilitary police forces, killing people, including Renee Good, Alex Pretty, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, and Johann Sebastian Duran Guerrero, and is now even closer and closer to brazenly and wantonly devolving the United States Democratic Republic into an authoritarian regime where, if left in office, unjustified killings of people and cover-ups by ICE and CBP are normalized to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.
Al GreenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Wherefore, Donald John Trump by such conduct warrants impeachment, trial, and removal from office.
Al GreenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I yield back.
