1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,720 Speaker 1: It is December the ninth. Forty two days remain until 2 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: the noon hour, when Donald Trump will once again hold 3 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: within his hands the power of armageddon. He will again 4 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: be the commander in chief, the American head of state, 5 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,799 Speaker 1: the forty seventh President of the United States, and he 6 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: will be the most powerful president in American history, the 7 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,319 Speaker 1: first to have immunity, the first to be a king 8 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: by another name. And Donald Trump has already started abusing 9 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: his power by nominating, disrespectfully, some of the most unfit 10 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: people who have ever been forwarded to the United States 11 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: Senate for consideration for their advice and consent for deadly jobs, 12 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,599 Speaker 1: life and death positions, the ones that speak to the 13 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: safety of the nation. This is the warning. Two days 14 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: ago we celebrated an anniversary in this country Pearl Harbor. 15 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: There are sixteen survivors left, sixteen who are alive at 16 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: Pearl Harbor on that day when there was a massive 17 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: intelligence failure. We remember September eleventh, two thousand and one, 18 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: another massive intelligence failure, and we must recall when we 19 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: ponder the fall of Assad in Syria and the devastating 20 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: impact this will have on Russian and Iranian ambitions in 21 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: the region. The question must be asked, why was Tulsea 22 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: Gabbard in Syria with Basher Ali Sad? Why was Donald 23 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: Trump's Director of National Intelligence nominee so easily duped like 24 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: Vanity Fair magazine was in twenty twelve by the Assad 25 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: regime propaganda machine. Soon there will be an opportunity, no doubt, 26 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: to review the files and the archives that are uncovered 27 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: that might explain what it is that Tulsi Gabbard was 28 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: doing in Syria, and what it is that the Syrians 29 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: thought about Tulsi Gabbard, maybe even what the Russians thought 30 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: about their useful idiot. Do you know that every night 31 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: on Russian state television Tulsi Gabbard is celebrated as our girl. 32 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: Honest to God, it's not because she's a paid agent. 33 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: She's likely not smart enough. It's because she's such a 34 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: stupefyingly effective, useful idiot. She went from uttering inanities and 35 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: banalities on Fox to being the nominee for the office 36 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: of Director of National Intelligence. You see, the Iranians and 37 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: the Russians, whose empire of malice is falling apart, have 38 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: one ace up their sleeves. Donald Trump, the one man 39 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: who can deliver to them victory from the edge of defeat. 40 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: Because of his ignorance about the world, how it functions, 41 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: and his incompetence, these will be deadly years around the world. 42 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: Have no doubt about that. And the man that Donald 43 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: Trump has put forward to lead the Pentagon to be 44 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 1: the person who sits atop a command authority that includes 45 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 1: five thousand plus nuclear weapons, A drunk and accused rapist, 46 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: a man whose nomination has come now to rely on 47 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: his mother, who is calling senators, making visits with him, 48 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: and doing appearances on television saying he is not, in 49 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: fact the low rent abuser of women that his own 50 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: mother condemned him as which he is. How can we 51 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: ask our young men and women to raise their hand 52 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: and to serve and have such carelessness, such disrespect for 53 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: their service, that the United State Senate would dare to 54 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:07,279 Speaker 1: nominate and approve this man to sit atop a civilian 55 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: command structure beneath only the President of the United States. 56 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: The evidence of his drunkenness, of his debauched behavior is significant. 57 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: In fact, he seems to be the Republican version of 58 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden, a man without morals, a man without judgment 59 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: and a man with a huge substance abuse problem only 60 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: possibly exceeded by his entitlement. Would Republicans vote to make 61 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden the Secretary of Defense, then why would they 62 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 1: make Pete Hegseth the Secretary of Defense. Tolsey Gabbert like 63 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: Cash Pttel, like Pete Hegseth, like Robert Kennedy, like Christy 64 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 1: Nome is unfit, unfit for service. But most of these 65 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: people will make it through. A couple of them must not. 66 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: And high on that list is the FBI director Designant Cashpitel. 67 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: Cash Ptel is a joke. Let's watch the future FBI 68 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: director of Trump's fantasies sell some product. 69 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 2: We are a bestseller in the Wall Street Journal, Amazon, 70 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 2: all these other bestseller lists, and we sold that. We 71 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 2: met the metrics to be a New York Times bestseller. 72 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, the Times decides 73 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 2: if you get on that list, even if you meet 74 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 2: the metrics for sales. And so you know, maybe I'm 75 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 2: kind of glad I'm not a New York Times bestseller 76 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 2: because they won't give it to me. 77 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,239 Speaker 1: Planes fly into buildings when these people fail in their jobs. 78 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: Serial killers get away. When this agency fails in its job, 79 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: and this clown and grifter and huckster is unfit, as 80 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: unfit as Mac Gates, as unfitted as Pete hake Seth, 81 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: as unfit as Taulsey Gabbard. Yet so many in the 82 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: media are covering Donald Trump like, well, he's a normal fella. 83 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: Let's watch this instant from Meet the Press where Donald 84 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: Trump makes clear that the Congress, a committee of a 85 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: co equal branch of government doing oversight, impaneled to investigate 86 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: his coup, his violent insurrection, that it is those people 87 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: who tried to find the truth and published an eight 88 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: hundred page report about what he did. 89 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 3: And Cheney was behind it, and so is Benny Thompson 90 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 3: and everybody on that committee. We're going to for what 91 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 3: they did, yeh. Honestly, they should go to jail. 92 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 1: So you think Liz Cheney should go to jail for 93 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: what everyone on the committee. 94 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 3: Used, I think everybody anybody that voted in. 95 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 1: Funy, those people should be locked up. While the people 96 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: who stormed the capitol, the criminals who vandalized it, who 97 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: assaulted police officers, including the violent ones, will all be 98 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: pardoned on day one. And these people will come out 99 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: of prison and they will be maga martyrs. Many will 100 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: run for office, Some will be elected to office, but 101 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: their extremism will have paid off for them. Many of 102 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: them will wind up with government appointments, no doubt, heroes forevermore. 103 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: The men and women who have been called upon by 104 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: their leader did something no group of Americans have ever done. 105 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: They stormed the capital after a presidential election and tried 106 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: to burn the Constitution to keep their orange tinted demigod 107 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: from reality television in power for a job he failed 108 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: at morally, mentally, and spiritually. The worst president in American 109 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: history was the forty fifth president, but the forty seventh 110 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: is going to pass him early in his term. When 111 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: we think about retribution and revenge and all that is coming, 112 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: the American media is falling down, failing in the moment, 113 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: none more spectacularly than Joe Scarborough and Mika Brazinski. The 114 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: exact and precise moment the country needs truthtellers looking into cameras. 115 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: What they're getting is capitulation. What they're getting is the 116 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: bending of the knee. What they're getting is appeasement. And 117 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: there is no place where this is playing out more perversely, 118 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: more dramatically than at the six o'clock hour on MSNBC 119 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: when Joe Scarborough and Mika Brazinski sit down. The justifications 120 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: have not stopped for weeks, and Joe Scarborough completely lost 121 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: it on his audience on Friday morning, rebuking them, reprimanding them, 122 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: the people he called family just days before. 123 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 3: Do you know why I went to leaders in the 124 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 3: Middle East who were angry at the United States and 125 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 3: I sat there and I listened to them attacking me 126 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 3: personally for forty five minutes because of US policy. You 127 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 3: know why I do that? To get the read of 128 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 3: the leader, to get the read of where the country's going. 129 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 3: So I can come back here and talk to you 130 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 3: and let you know what the hell is going on 131 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 3: with context and give you context, insight and background. You know, 132 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 3: everybody we have on the show that's a reporter, it's 133 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 3: what they do every day. They speak on background. 134 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: Let me suggest, if you're watching the show, you're not 135 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: part of Joe and Mika's family. You're strangers. Actually, you're 136 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: just someone trying to get some facts in the morning. 137 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: And if you do feel a connection, well you should 138 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: appreciate about that connection because there's no room for you 139 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: in the Joe and Mika bus, the escape bus from 140 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: mar A Lago. And I'm not joking around here. What 141 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: we've seen from them is a form of cowardice, a 142 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: form of panic. Nothing's happened yet, but they're flailing in 143 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: the water already. Why are these people terrified about Donald 144 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: Trump and his bluster? They are protected by the First 145 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: Amendment to the Constitution. Donald Trump wants people afraid, he 146 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: wants people intimidated. There is no basis for his threats 147 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: to jail his opponents. His power is immense, but because 148 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: this is America, it can be opposed unless people are 149 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: too intimidated to oppose it. And the problem with this 150 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: moment is the people who are intimidated are the richest 151 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: and most powerful, with the biggest microphones and the largest platforms. 152 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: They're afraid of losing what they have, and because of that, 153 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: they'll tell you not what you need to hear, but 154 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: what the person who can take from them wants you 155 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: to hear. When you look around in the years to come, 156 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: there's but a single question that you have to have 157 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: the wisdom to process who is on your side. And no, 158 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: it's not necessarily a person who has the magic letter 159 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: E next to their name. Maybe they're also in it 160 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: for themselves, maybe they're looking to get as much as 161 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 1: they can get. And what you're going to have to 162 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: figure out in the years ahead as the Trump presidency 163 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: unfolds and the catastrophe reveals itself, is who out there 164 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: will step up and run for office genuinely cares about 165 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: reform and renewal and not about victory for themselves in 166 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: the moment, but victory for the country a generation from now. 167 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: Who's the person who wants to fight on your side 168 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: against the most powerful interest in the world to preserve 169 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: the best idea in the history of the world, America. 170 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: We have crossed the line. Elon Musk is functioning as 171 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: a type of unelected deputy president, the richest man in 172 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:58,479 Speaker 1: the world, the first American oligarch, powerful in business, powerful 173 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: in culture, and powerful politically beyond any measure, beyond comprehension. 174 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: We'll see how it plays out. Donald Trump's cabinet is 175 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: the richest and the wealthiest and the most out of 176 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: touch in all of American history. Each of them, with 177 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 1: a billion dollars worth of zeros next to their name, 178 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: believes because of that they are a genius, and together 179 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: they are a supernova of genius, trumpy and genius that 180 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 1: will make America great again by taking as much as 181 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: they can get their hands on and sprinkling it out 182 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: as they see fit. Their beneficence, you see, is a 183 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: part of their genius. All the rest of us are 184 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 1: but cogs and pieces in the grand and great contraption 185 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: and machine they're rigging for them. This will all fall apart, 186 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: and it's going to be very very ugly. Tremendous damage 187 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: will be done to our institution, to our society. We're 188 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: going to see cracks in the foundation. And even though 189 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: so much of what we have seen over the last 190 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: decade has been troubling, has been disturbing, has been shattering 191 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 1: of a lot of preconceptions, none of it has yet 192 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: really begun. The thing to remember is that Donald Trump, 193 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: while being a terrible president, was a consequential one. But 194 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 1: his consequential era is just getting started. Let's say the 195 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 1: book of Donald Trump will one day be one thousand 196 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 1: pages long. The apprentice chapters in his first term will 197 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: be less than one hundred. The future and what Trump 198 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: will be remembered for hasn't happened yet, but when it does, 199 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: we will all remember it, and everyone around the world 200 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: will also for a very very long time. Donald Trump 201 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 1: has power, and so does MAGA. The Democratic Party has 202 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: suffered a failure that it will take a long time, 203 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: judging by the responses from the people who led that 204 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,479 Speaker 1: failure to get their heads around it, the flawless campaign 205 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:17,439 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty four, According to Kamala Harris's chief of staff, well, 206 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: that flawless campaign has given us our first flawless president, 207 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, our first king since George the Third, our 208 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: first commander in chief resolutely above the rest of us 209 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: because he is above the law. Let's be clear about that. 210 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: The fiction that we're all equal under it, that's over 211 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: in America. It's not true, but it could be true 212 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: if we elect the right people in. Those people in 213 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: the next years are going to have to be smart 214 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: and nimble and serious in. Those people are going to 215 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: have to be tough in principled in. Those people are 216 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: going to have to refuse to back down. And the 217 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: truth is those people are going to have to take 218 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: some risks. Before this is all over. These early days 219 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: of the second Trump presidency will not be remembered. They 220 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: will all fade out. Pete Hegseth will not make it 221 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: to the Pentagon, and he won't be remembered. What will 222 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: is what happens when Donald Trump's team takes command, and 223 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: then over four years time, a great drama will unfold. 224 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: Some people think that in the end good things will happen. 225 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: I pray that those people are right, but I know 226 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: in my heart that they are not, because life does 227 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: not work that way. Life is hard, and it's tough, 228 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: and there are consequences for people and for nations. There 229 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: is a prayer carved into the marble above the fireplace 230 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: in the State Dining Room. It was an admonition from 231 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: John Adams, and it was a prayer that none but 232 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: good and wise men would ever live under the roof 233 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: of the White House. We've never had a perfect president, 234 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: had some brilliant ones, we've had some corrupt ones, but 235 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: we've never had a president who the Supreme Court has 236 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: made a caesar who carries in his heart a malice 237 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: for everybody who opposes him, and a disrespect for the 238 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: institutions that constrain him, and a rage against the idea 239 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: that he can be told no, the days ahead are 240 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: going to be very hard in this country, and the 241 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: resistance to it is going to have to be something 242 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: that forms outside of Washington, because Washington is not a 243 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: place where you will find opposition to Trump. It is 244 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: a place where the accommodation begins. Just like on the 245 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: set of Mourning Joe. This is the warning.
