1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,600 Speaker 1: It is Monday, November twenty fourth. This is the morning 2 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 1: it's Thanksgiving week here in America. One thing that none 3 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: of us should be thankful for is the collapse of 4 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:19,280 Speaker 1: any possible information coming out of a Sunday morning show. 5 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 1: It used to be that very talented journalists would challenge 6 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 1: very powerful people with facts and information, and they would 7 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:34,239 Speaker 1: do so on behalf of their viewers, the American citizen. 8 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: The idea is that in a democracy, the citizen has 9 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: to be informed, They have to have some stakes in 10 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: the game. The Sunday morning shows have become ritualized reality 11 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: show theater. It is the beginning of a week of 12 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: farce and misinformation and nonsense. Let's start with the Secretary 13 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: of Agriculture, some Washington, DC maga RedHat explaining to the 14 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: American farmer that things are okay. Is offset by some statistics, 15 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: including one which will I'll rest my case on one 16 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,479 Speaker 1: thing that's happened during the Trump presidency is the American 17 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: farmer has leapt to the front of the pack again, 18 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: leading the way in suicides. Suicide is a disease of 19 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: despair and hopelessness, and right now in America, millions of 20 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: people are discussing suicide with the chatbot. That is the 21 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: sickness that has come to our land by the power 22 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: of the hedge funds, the tech oligarchs, and the media 23 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: lords like Larry Ellison and David Allison, who want to 24 00:01:54,480 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: control all of the avenues of information. I wonder why 25 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: at any rate, here is one of the great clowns 26 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: of the Trump era, a Sunday Show stalwart Howard Lutnik. 27 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 2: Sure, what is the backup plan should the Supreme Court 28 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 2: rule against you? 29 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 3: Well, we are going to win the case. It's pretty clear. 30 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 3: I was. I sat in the Supreme Court. We're going 31 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 3: to win the case. 32 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 4: But the fact is the president has all sorts of 33 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 4: policies and tools throughout. 34 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 3: He's got tariff rules. 35 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 4: Of two thirty two in my department, he's got three 36 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 4: on one, he's got three thirty eight, he's got tariffs 37 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 4: are going to be a part of this administration's national 38 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 4: security and national economic protection of the American people. 39 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 3: But we are going to win the case. So you 40 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 3: can worry about. 41 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 4: The backup plan, but you're going to watch the Supreme 42 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 4: Court back this president because this president has proven that 43 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 4: he can protect America and AIPA is protecting America. So 44 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 4: we are going to win this case. You heard it 45 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 4: from me. I feel confident. I sat through the case. 46 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 4: We're going to win. 47 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: This creton has no credibility whatsoever. The decision to put 48 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: him on and allow somebody you know is lying and 49 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: is a clown to misinform your audience is an act 50 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: of corruption, and yet it never stops at any rate. 51 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: There is no person, no bigger clown, no more obvious fool, 52 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: maybe in the entire administration than Lutnik who insists the 53 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: tariffs that are breaking the back of the American family, 54 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: breaking the back of the American worker, breaking the back 55 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: of the American economy, are in fact working and good 56 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: for you. 57 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 2: Let's watch what's your expectation, Secretary in terms of a 58 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 2: second reconciliation bill or a standalone two thousand dollars check 59 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 2: program to go out. 60 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 4: Look, the tariffs are an American policy. The President wants 61 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 4: the American people to understand how great tariffs are for them. 62 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 4: And so one of the ways to prove to the 63 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 4: American people how great tariffs are is to have them 64 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 4: share in a part of one year's income from these tariffs. 65 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 4: And that's two thousand dollars ahead, as he said, for 66 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 4: people who need the money. You know where He's going 67 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 4: to constrain it to people who need the money. And 68 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 4: that's exciting. So the President's got that on his desk. 69 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 4: I know that's something he wants to achieve, and his 70 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 4: legislative team will figure out the best way to do it. 71 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 4: But what he's trying to do is make sure people 72 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 4: in America understand that tariffs are their policy. It's to 73 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 4: make America stronger and they can also benefit their pocketbook, 74 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 4: and that is coming next year from the President. 75 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:55,919 Speaker 1: The great talent of the Trump administration comes at communicating 76 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: false outrage over invented in while committing the acts they 77 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 1: decry over and over and over again. The most corrupt 78 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: administration in history coming into Thanksgiving, has an approval rating 79 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: in the thirties, disapproval ratings in the sixties. Is finally 80 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: managing to do something that a lot of us thought 81 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: was impossible, which is to see Donald unite the country. 82 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,359 Speaker 1: He's doing it, of course, around the only thing he 83 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: could possibly unite anybody around, which is despising him and 84 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,919 Speaker 1: his treachery and his dishonesty. 85 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 5: What is appeasement? 86 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,919 Speaker 1: It is a philosophy that holds, if I feed the 87 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: crocodile first, he'll eat me last. The problem with the 88 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:58,679 Speaker 1: philosophy is, in the end, looking ahead to what fate 89 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: has in store, the best outcome is to be the 90 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: last eaten by a giant reptile, which is not a 91 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: good result now. Marjorie Taylor Green is an exquisite example 92 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: of a person whose ignorance was reinforced by the insanity 93 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: that's curated behind the imprisonment of the algorithmic wall, erected 94 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: by this generation's most dangerous drug pushers, America's tech oligors, 95 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: feasting on conspiracy, eating a stew of insanity. Marjorie Taylor 96 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: Green was trained to become a twenty first century political leader, 97 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: not by a party, but by the American culture. 98 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 5: And the American culture is insane. 99 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: And she went there and became schooled in the ways 100 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 1: of Washington in power and politics, and saw all around 101 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: her fraudulents. A legitimately crazy person. In the end, couldn't 102 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: believe that she was part of something so crazy that 103 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: it would cover up on behalf of the leader she 104 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: worshiped like a god, his complicity, his partnership, his friendship 105 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: with the most notorious child sex trafficker and criminal of 106 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: the twenty first century. 107 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 5: And so that was the straw that broke the proverbial 108 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 5: camel's back. 109 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: A faithful sycophant suddenly called the trader because she wouldn't 110 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: get in line with the pedophile who is the leader's friend. 111 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: Now she has some explaining to do about why she 112 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: ran around for so long with Matt Gates properly and 113 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: clearly and credibly accused, well sourced reporting that makes clear 114 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: he had sex with a seventeen year old child McDonald's 115 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: worker who needed a hand up when she was leaning 116 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: out that McDonald's window, and instead Congressman Gates gave her 117 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: ecstasy and four hundred dollars so we could. 118 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 5: Sleep with her. 119 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: Megan Kelly doesn't understand the concept, but I'm sure most 120 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: of you do. Here's the deal about all of these 121 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: wretched people, Carolyn Levitt, Jared Kushner. 122 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 5: The list goes on. 123 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: A great nation of three hundred and fifty million souls 124 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,119 Speaker 1: is under siege by about one hundred villains who hold 125 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: political power because we let them get it, and now 126 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: we have to take it away and be thankful that 127 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,439 Speaker 1: in real life, outside of the mirage, outside of the illusion, 128 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: outside of the sick play which we have all become 129 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: yoked actors. 130 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 5: In, we have the power. 131 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: Not Donald Trump in his imagination, in his fiction, in 132 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: his theater, he is king of the world. 133 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 5: And dictator of America. 134 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: But in real life he is the lee of a 135 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: despised and failing political novelty act, a great grotesquery, a 136 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: sewer act that rose to the top, a great desecration, 137 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: like a wave that swept over the country, is starting 138 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: to recede. It's going to leave an awful mess, but 139 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:23,199 Speaker 1: it will also leave. 140 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 5: Behind an important lesson. 141 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: From that lesson, and out of that mess can come 142 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: better days if we remember some important principles. Government in 143 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: America is about securing the blessings of liberty, and the 144 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: purpose of life in our free country is about the 145 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: pursuit of happiness, not richest, not power, but happiness of 146 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: the common man and woman, who ought not to become 147 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: serfs of the world's richest men and women, whose insatiability 148 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:03,119 Speaker 1: and rapaciousness, combined with Trump's malice and corruption, has threatened 149 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: to drown the American experiment in a pit of venom 150 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: and a sea of filth into that all of us 151 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: patriots must say no, not on our watch, not in 152 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: this time, not in our country.
