At an Atlanta rally, Senator Jon Ossoff delivered a forceful critique of Donald Trump and the broader culture of money in American politics. Ossoff argued that corruption extends beyond any single politician, pointing to corporate influence, billionaire spending, lobbyists, and super PACs as forces shaping national priorities. He connected these issues to rising prescription costs, insurance disputes, economic insecurity, and broken political promises. Addressing Georgia voters, Ossoff emphasized the growing financial pressures facing working families, arguing that longer hours and harder work have not delivered greater stability. His remarks framed political reform and economic fairness as central challenges for America’s future.

00:00More than ever to stock your fridge, to power your home, to make a cup of coffee, to buy school
00:07supplies for your kid or a tractor for your farm.
00:10The Mar-a-Lago Mafia really has taken American corruption to spectacular new heights.
00:19But corruption in American politics runs a lot deeper than Donald Trump.
00:30Now, Atlanta, the polls open in eight weeks.
00:37Eight weeks till early vote.
00:40Eight weeks till you can cast your ballots to save our republic.
00:47Atlanta, turn to your neighbor and say eight weeks.
00:52Say lock in.
00:57Because the country is counting on us, Atlanta.
01:03The country is counting on us.
01:11And the crowds I've seen over the last year and a half at rallies like this one.
01:15Decent folk from all walks of life and living rooms and backyards across our state.
01:21Our coalition of Democrats, independents, and Republicans.
01:25And the volunteer army already knocking thousands of doors each week.
01:30All leave no doubt that Georgia is about to make history again.
01:41Atlanta, are you ready to win?
01:48Now, I know many of you are here today because you just can't stand what's been done to our country.
01:57Our government made a tool of one man's vengeance, power, and wealth.
02:03Prices soar while the president rakes in billions.
02:09Cancer patients lose insurance while the rich get another tax cut.
02:15We're plunged deeper and deeper into another reckless war.
02:23Private prisons full of families grow in size and squalor.
02:29The Justice Department and even our intelligence agencies are twisted to serve this president's vendettas.
02:37But in eight weeks, Atlanta, in eight weeks, we can cast our ballots and say enough is enough.
02:51In eight weeks, we will vote to rebuke him so decisively.
02:58That no president will dare such abuses again for centuries, Atlanta.
03:07In eight weeks, we'll vote to elect a Medicaid-expanding Governor Bottoms to end our state's health care emergency.
03:18And between now and then, I need you to work, Atlanta.
03:22Not for my sake.
03:23Not for the sake of the Democratic Party, but for the sake of our state and our country.
03:28Because, see, some people just happen to live at times and in places where history is made.
03:33And this year, once again, that's us.
03:36So, Atlanta, are you ready to work?
03:40Are you ready to win?
03:46Now, remember, he promised to lower prices on day one.
03:53You remember that?
03:56And I want the president's remaining supporters to hear this, because it was all a lie.
04:04Under Donald J. Trump, it costs more than ever to stock your fridge,
04:09to power your home,
04:11to make a cup of coffee,
04:13to buy school supplies for your kid or a tractor for your farm.
04:18Gas is up 30% since inauguration.
04:23Diesel, 47%.
04:24Coffee, 35%.
04:25Ground beef, 23%.
04:29They doubled your health insurance premiums
04:32and slashed Medicaid to cut taxes for their corporate donors and the ultra-rich.
04:38They made you pay more for everything
04:40and took us to war on lies
04:42and spent most of last year trying to cover up for the world's most famous pedophile
04:47while the crook president and his crook family raked in billions.
04:58While your tax dollars were put to work backing Trump's businesses.
05:04See, they are literally the elites they pretend to hate.
05:11So say it again would be now, Atlanta.
05:13Enough
05:15is
05:15enough.
05:19Now he promised
05:20to lower prices on day one.
05:23He also promised peace and gave us war.
05:28Now in its six months,
05:30they drained our stockpiles to achieve nothing.
05:36Iran still has its uranium.
05:38Hormuz is still closed.
05:40And it was all lies.
05:43Eighteen brave Americans killed in action.
05:48Remember last year they claimed Iran's nuclear program had been obliterated?
05:53Then this year they claimed it posed an imminent nuclear threat?
05:58Both times lies.
06:01On day one of the war, listen to this, day one,
06:05the president said the war was, quote, ahead of schedule.
06:09Ahead of schedule.
06:11On day four, he declared victory.
06:16Today is day 170.
06:21And did y'all see Hegseth in front of that committee?
06:26Did y'all see it?
06:30Listen to this.
06:32On day nine of the war,
06:34the incompetent Pete Hegseth guaranteed Iranian surrender.
06:38On day 14, he claimed Iran's military had been destroyed.
06:43On day 40, he said every single objective had been achieved.
06:49That was four months ago.
06:52They've lied nonstop about this war like they lie about everything.
06:57And they know they're lying, but they lie and they keep lying anyway
07:00because in this White House, they view persistence in deceit as a virtue.
07:05You hear me, Atlanta?
07:09And there's something uniquely despicable
07:14about lying a nation into war.
07:20Treating citizens as fools and those who serve as pawns.
07:27Aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln,
07:30they've now been at sea for 240 plus days without a port call.
07:34It's a Navy record.
07:34And still,
07:36and still,
07:39and still they serve with excellence.
07:43And still they serve with excellence.
07:48God bless the sailors, Marines, aviators,
07:51and all aboard the United States ship Abraham Lincoln.
08:02See, they don't expect luxury.
08:05They'll endure hardship.
08:08But they deserve competent leaders
08:10who send them into combat only when necessary.
08:14And with decisive clarity of purpose.
08:17Not fools who lie about the purpose and progress of war.
08:22And while the sailors on the Lincoln fight his war,
08:27while he fruitlessly drains our munitions and oil reserves,
08:32the president sleeps through his meetings.
08:36He golfs and trades stocks.
08:40See, he doesn't want to do the job.
08:44He wants to build his ballroom
08:46and travel with Natalie
08:47on their apparently defenseless flying palace
08:50gifted by the Amir of Qatar.
09:05And above all,
09:07above all,
09:08Donald wants to get money.
09:12How much have you heard about the president's stock trading?
09:16When he first announced the tariffs,
09:18you remember that?
09:19He called it Liberation Day.
09:21And it crashed the markets
09:23because it was clown policy.
09:24You remember that?
09:27Okay, so follow me through on this.
09:29He announces the tariffs
09:30on April 2nd of last year.
09:33The markets tank non-stop for like a week
09:37because it's a disastrous trade policy.
09:39And six days into the crash,
09:41April 8th,
09:42Trump buys millions in stock.
09:44I'm talking Amazon,
09:45NVIDIA,
09:46Apple,
09:46Microsoft,
09:47Berkshire Hathaway.
09:49And then the very next morning,
09:51April 9th,
09:52he posts on Truth Social,
09:54quote,
09:54this is a great time to buy.
09:56Three exclamation marks.
09:59Okay, now listen to this.
10:01Three hours
10:02and 41 minutes
10:04after that post,
10:05one day after he bought
10:06millions in stock,
10:08he canceled the tariffs
10:09and triggered one of the biggest
10:10same-day rebound rallies
10:12in market history.
10:14He's trying to get money.
10:18And you saw,
10:19now he's offering paid subscriptions
10:21to presidential announcements, right?
10:26Just understand what's for sale here.
10:30The sitting president's pronouncements
10:33on war and peace
10:34and economic policy
10:35delivered first
10:36to paying customers?
10:38What an absolute crook.
10:52And speaking of crooks,
10:55speaking of crooks,
10:58not a lot of people know this,
11:00but Congressman Mike Collins
11:02is literally
11:03one of the most active crypto traders
11:06in the entire Congress,
11:08House or Senate.
11:11Now remember,
11:13Mike's already
11:14under federal investigation
11:15for illegally funneling tax dollars
11:17to his violent staffer's girlfriend
11:18for a no-show job.
11:20Do you remember that?
11:22But Mike Collins
11:24also repeatedly
11:25broke the law
11:26hiding his crypto trading.
11:30because he's like
11:31a scandal piñata.
11:35But every time you shake him,
11:37more misdeeds fall out.
11:49The Mar-a-Lago Mafia
11:52really has taken
11:53American corruption
11:54to spectacular new heights.
11:58But corruption
12:00in American politics
12:01runs a lot deeper
12:02than Donald Trump.
12:05And see,
12:06I get why people voted for him.
12:08Because even before
12:09he came on the scene,
12:11American politics
12:12was coin-operated.
12:14Money's in.
12:15Favor's out.
12:16It's been running
12:17on corporate money,
12:18secret money,
12:19billionaire money,
12:20both sides.
12:22And when members of Congress
12:24aren't fundraising
12:24from lobbyists
12:25and corporate PACs,
12:26they're just trying to dodge
12:27getting bombed
12:28by these super PACs.
12:30So spectacular wealth
12:32buys an ever greater
12:34share of power
12:35over our national affairs.
12:37And this corruption
12:39is why nothing works
12:40for ordinary people.
12:42It's why you pay a fortune
12:44for prescriptions.
12:45It's why your insurance company
12:47gets away with denying
12:48your cancer treatment.
12:50It's why we're promised progress
12:52and we get more of the same.
12:55So many broken promises.
12:57We were promised tax cuts
12:59for the rich
12:59would grow the middle class.
13:02We were promised Iraq
13:04had weapons of mass destruction.
13:06We were promised fairness
13:08only to see banks bailed out
13:10while millions lost their homes.
13:11Do you remember that?
13:14We were promised hard work
13:16would earn wealth
13:18and advancement.
13:20But for too many,
13:21the treadmill gets faster
13:22and steeper.
13:23Georgians work harder
13:24and longer,
13:25but the bills
13:25just get higher and higher.
13:28A 60-hour work week
13:29still needs snap.
13:31Santa can't make you
13:32what a girl's wish
13:33come true this year.
13:35That bucket list trip
13:36is off the table for good.
13:39And the corporate disrespect
13:41is suffocating.
13:45Instead of reading to your child
13:47that precious spare hour
13:48after work,
13:49you're on the phone
13:49fighting your bank
13:50or the cable company.
