Unfortunately, I can't find a video yet of just his speech, but you can see/hear it here by skipping to the 2:17:00 mark in this video. His speech is about 5 1/2 minutes long.

I saw the whole thing, it was encouraging, energizing, inspirational, and spoke to our hearts and souls!
I disagree with Robert DeNiro on the part about loving our country. I get how he feels about it. I just have a different approach.
I love my country, it's the fascist regime government I hate. And, yes, as DeNiro says to Traitor: Shut the fuck up!

And saying you don't love your country will likely be turned into a weapon against us by those who are destroying our country.
I grew up during the Vietnam War and remember what was said against those who were protesting it:
America, love it or leave it.
I say America, love it and make it better.
