(Washington, D.C.) President Donald Trump spoke out Thursday against Democratic lawmakers who suggested the U.S. military refuse illegal orders.
Trump wrote “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!”, on a Truth Social post in response to the video made by six Congress members, including Chris Deluzio.
Those in the video previously served in military and intelligence, and urged those currently serving to “refuse illegal orders.”
Deluzio issued a video response just after 4pm Thursday.
The transcript of that video is as follows:
“Congressman Chris Deluzio here. Today, Donald Trump called for my death.
He called for the arrest and the death of me and several of my colleagues, all of who have either worn the uniform or either served in intelligence services.
He didn’t want to hear the basic lesson that we know about our Constitution, about the oath we all take when we serve一whether in Congress一or your first day out at boot camp.
These are bedrock principles in our country, that you follow lawful orders, that the oath to the Constitution, and that the loyalty to the Constitution comes above all.
I’m not going to be intimidated, I’m not going to be deterred from my duty to represent the people who sent me to Congress, and to uphold my duty to the Constitution.
Don’t Give Up the Ship.”
Deluzio serves in Congress for Pennsylvania’s 17th District, representing Beaver and Allegheny Counties.

(Pittsburgh, PA) Bob Kerlik, the Director of Public Affairs at the Pittsburgh International Airport, spoke on Beaver County Radio’s “Driving in the Fast Lane with Frank Sparks” this morning about the brand-new $1.7 billion landside terminal that had its grand opening at the airport in Pittsburgh on Tuesday. This project took at least a decade of planning and the groundbreaking for the new terminal began in October of 2021. Kerlik said that the new terminal opening is “a new day for the region” and that the people that have gone through it so far have been impressed with it. There is a new landside building and there will be one connected facility. Kerlik also noted that the new terminal was “designed with Pittsburgh in mind,” and its three main aesthetics are the waving roof meant to imitate Western Pennsylvania’s rolling hills, the ceiling that is made of metal that is made to look like wood with 4,500 constellation lights which is meant to look like the starry sky and intuitively guides you to the security checkpoint, and the different steel tree columns, which were fabricated in Ambridge at Sippel Steel Fab, which consisted of 16,000 tons of steel. This terminal project includes more TSA lanes for a security experience that is faster, a reduced bag belt with just three miles of distance cut down from eight miles, a new parking garage with 3,300 additional spaces besides the parking lot that is a five minute walk away from it, along with a terminal parking lot, as well as a new skybridge which connects the new landslide terminal with the current airside terminal. Kerlik also let people know that there is a website where you can book parking in advance online so you can receive cheaper rates of parking and so you can get the lot of your choosing, and you can go to it by clicking here.
