Transcript excerpt

When the mentally ill mad King George and his abusive parliament threatened the freedoms and spirit of Americans, we didn't sit on our hands and whine about it. No. We took to the streets and our country was born. Now it's two hundred fifty years later, and there's another mentally ill tyrant, a corrupt good be king, and his gutless congress who wanna fight crazy foreign wars and crush our freedoms here at home. It didn't work then, and it will not work now, but only if we stop them. This is Robert De Niro imploring you to join me and millions of our fellow citizens in the nonviolent No Kings demonstration on Saturday, March 28. Go to nokings.org to find, volunteer, or host a protest near you. It's time to make America sane again. See you on the twenty eighth. Thank you.
