Credit grabbing idiot and permitting him to 20 00:01:46,795 --> 00:01:50,155 Speaker 1: taunt you as you left the White House, and as 21 00:01:50,155 --> 00:01:52,915 Speaker 1: you departed the White House, to return the sum of 22 00:01:52,955 --> 00:01:55,555 Speaker 1: all the human dignity in the White House right now 23 00:01:55,755 --> 00:02:01,515 Speaker 1: to zero. We will never let Trump forget what he 24 00:02:01,555 --> 00:02:04,475 Speaker 1: did to you today. We will make him a t 25 00:02:04,755 --> 00:02:08,315 Speaker 1: own and all those who serve him and do not 26 00:02:08,755 --> 00:02:13,715 Speaker 1: resign and disassociate themselves from him immediately just out of 27 00:02:13,795 --> 00:02:18,955 Speaker 1: sheer embarrassment over being so wrong, so loudly, and being 28 00:02:18,955 --> 00:02:22,155 Speaker 1: in the service of such a moron as Trump. They 29 00:02:22,235 --> 00:02:26,315 Speaker 1: have from this day forfeited their legitimacy as quote leaders 30 00:02:26,475 --> 00:02:31,155 Speaker 1: unquote of this nation. As the pack of diuretic farm 31 00:02:31,235 --> 00:02:34,475 Speaker 1: animals Trump calls a cabinets has also from this day 32 00:02:34,515 --> 00:02:41,275 Speaker 1: forward forfeited its legitimacy as our government. And to that point, 33 00:02:41,275 --> 00:02:44,995 Speaker 1: Trump must now lose power. We the people of the 34 00:02:45,075 --> 00:02:48,755 Speaker 1: United States of America, will not live in a kleptocracy. 35 00:02:49,995 --> 00:02:53,035 Speaker 1: We the people of the United States of America, will 36 00:02:53,115 --> 00:02:57,515 Speaker 1: not live in an idiocracy. We the people of the 37 00:02:57,635 --> 00:03:03,315 Speaker 1: United States of America, will not live in a muskocracy. 38 00:03:04,355 --> 00:03:09,875 Speaker 1: Today there was a twenty four hour consumer boycott, poorly publicized, 39 00:03:10,355 --> 00:03:14,355 Speaker 1: poorly covered by our increasingly stenographic media until it was 40 00:03:14,395 --> 00:03:18,515 Speaker 1: about halfway over. Now after today, we must have a 41 00:03:18,555 --> 00:03:22,515 Speaker 1: twenty four day consumer boycott, then a twenty four month 42 00:03:22,635 --> 00:03:27,915 Speaker 1: consumer boycott. If this is about businesses rushing to back Trump, 43 00:03:28,275 --> 00:03:33,715 Speaker 1: let's break these businesses in half and starve their billionaire owners. 44 00:03:35,395 --> 00:03:39,795 Speaker 1: Today we witnessed the most disgraceful and Unamerican act by 45 00:03:39,835 --> 00:03:43,355 Speaker 1: any president in our history. And I include Nixon and 46 00:03:43,395 --> 00:03:48,115 Speaker 1: Watergate and Bush and Iraq and everything Trump has previously done. 47 00:03:48,435 --> 00:03:53,035 Speaker 1: Now we must consume his presidency and force it to 48 00:03:53,115 --> 00:03:59,275 Speaker 1: do nothing else henceforth but to defend this disgusting, pre 49 00:03:59,435 --> 00:04:03,115 Speaker 1: planned act on behalf of Putin and Russia. To defend 50 00:04:03,155 --> 00:04:06,155 Speaker 1: it every hour and every day and every week, and 51 00:04:06,275 --> 00:04:10,155 Speaker 1: do nothing else, and accomplish nothing else until we force 52 00:04:10,235 --> 00:04:16,675 Speaker 1: him to resign the presidency. On President's Day, the fifty 53 00:04:16,675 --> 00:04:22,155 Speaker 1: to fifty one movement fifty states fifty protests one movement 54 00:04:22,835 --> 00:04:26,715 Speaker 1: protested in Washington and in state capitals. Now we must 55 00:04:26,715 --> 00:04:30,195 Speaker 1: protest Trump and his attempt of which today's shameful attack 56 00:04:30,275 --> 00:04:34,515 Speaker 1: don Zelenski was a part to install himself permanently in power. 57 00:04:34,675 --> 00:04:37,675 Speaker 1: And we must do it every day in every city 58 00:04:37,795 --> 00:04:41,555 Speaker 1: until nothing else in this country matters, and nothing else 59 00:04:41,635 --> 00:04:50,115 Speaker 1: in this country happens in the sixties and before, and 60 00:04:50,235 --> 00:04:56,555 Speaker 1: in decreasing measures since we mobilized on the streets to 61 00:04:56,715 --> 00:05:02,755 Speaker 1: protest and stop the degradation of our citizens of color 62 00:05:03,595 --> 00:05:06,995 Speaker 1: and the murder of our citizens of every color via 63 00:05:07,035 --> 00:05:11,555 Speaker 1: the Draft and the Vietnam War. Now we must have 64 00:05:11,675 --> 00:05:15,755 Speaker 1: protests that recognize that at this moment, all of us, 65 00:05:16,195 --> 00:05:19,715 Speaker 1: you and me are being reshaped by Trump and his 66 00:05:19,955 --> 00:05:24,555 Speaker 1: terrorist gang into the equivalent of the victims of segregation 67 00:05:25,075 --> 00:05:28,835 Speaker 1: and of the draftees sent to Southeast Asia to be slaughtered. 68 00:05:30,115 --> 00:05:39,515 Speaker 1: Civil disobedience, tax strike, general strike. Trump must go in 69 00:05:39,515 --> 00:05:42,155 Speaker 1: some respects today, Trump did the world a favor. Trump 70 00:05:42,195 --> 00:05:45,915 Speaker 1: did America a favor. Trump did you and I a favor. 71 00:05:47,315 --> 00:05:49,515 Speaker 1: Do not mistake what happened in the Oval Office today. 72 00:05:49,515 --> 00:05:51,995 Speaker 1: That was not Trump losing his temper or giving way 73 00:05:51,995 --> 00:05:56,795 Speaker 1: to his only recognizable kind of human instincts, violence and vengeance. 74 00:05:57,235 --> 00:06:03,555 Speaker 1: That was an ambush. Vance was there. Vance was only 75 00:06:03,595 --> 00:06:07,555 Speaker 1: there to demand z Lensky personally thanked Trump, to personally 76 00:06:07,635 --> 00:06:12,155 Speaker 1: kiss Trump's ass, because that's what creatures like Vance exist 77 00:06:12,355 --> 00:06:18,355 Speaker 1: to do to service snakes like Trump, to pleasure snakes 78 00:06:18,435 --> 00:06:22,355 Speaker 1: like Trump, because even Trump knows you cannot yourself in 79 00:06:22,395 --> 00:06:25,995 Speaker 1: public demand that someone else kiss your ass in thanks 80 00:06:26,635 --> 00:06:31,435 Speaker 1: to create some diaphanous cover of possible legitimacy, to pretend 81 00:06:31,515 --> 00:06:35,035 Speaker 1: that the other person should be grateful to you and 82 00:06:35,075 --> 00:06:38,035 Speaker 1: for you. That claim must be made by a third party. 83 00:06:38,195 --> 00:06:41,075 Speaker 1: It must be done for you. It is why Vance 84 00:06:41,195 --> 00:06:44,835 Speaker 1: is vice president. He has no scruples and no shame. 85 00:06:45,355 --> 00:06:49,155 Speaker 1: He was there to read a script, as usual. He 86 00:06:49,195 --> 00:06:54,755 Speaker 1: read it poorly, but in Trump's addled, diseased mind, JV. 87 00:06:55,035 --> 00:06:59,355 Speaker 1: Vance served his purpose. Even a mediocre dracula with bad 88 00:06:59,435 --> 00:07:04,155 Speaker 1: teeth still has to have a ren Field, and Vance 89 00:07:04,235 --> 00:07:09,755 Speaker 1: is Trump. No, it was not spontaneous, but many will 90 00:07:09,795 --> 00:07:13,275 Speaker 1: think it so, and even those who don't will have 91 00:07:14,115 --> 00:07:17,395 Speaker 1: seen the real Trump, the Trump he has so frequently 92 00:07:17,475 --> 00:07:21,315 Speaker 1: tried to hide, especially on the campaign trail last year. 93 00:07:23,235 --> 00:07:25,435 Speaker 1: I think the world has yet to fully process the 94 00:07:25,435 --> 00:07:28,995 Speaker 1: real meaning of Trump's bizarre remark years ago that he 95 00:07:28,995 --> 00:07:32,235 Speaker 1: could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue outside his own front 96 00:07:32,315 --> 00:07:37,915 Speaker 1: door and not lose any support. The real meaning was 97 00:07:37,995 --> 00:07:43,195 Speaker 1: hinted at today in the Oval office. He has thought 98 00:07:43,595 --> 00:07:49,075 Speaker 1: about shooting people. Not a fantasy, not a theory, not 99 00:07:49,115 --> 00:07:52,795 Speaker 1: a what if he has thought about shooting people, he 100 00:07:52,875 --> 00:07:57,435 Speaker 1: had thought through the ramifications of shooting someone on Fifth Avenue. 101 00:07:57,595 --> 00:07:59,395 Speaker 1: And when he said what he said, he had just 102 00:07:59,515 --> 00:08:04,315 Speaker 1: realized that for whatever cataclysm in our society, the calculus 103 00:08:04,315 --> 00:08:07,555 Speaker 1: had changed and he could now get away with it. 104 00:08:09,635 --> 00:08:12,035 Speaker 1: Saying he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue was in 105 00:08:12,035 --> 00:08:15,435 Speaker 1: fact saying that sooner or later he would shoot someone 106 00:08:15,515 --> 00:08:18,235 Speaker 1: on Fifth Avenue or at the White House. And if 107 00:08:18,275 --> 00:08:22,075 Speaker 1: not literally, then figuratively. And that person, no doubt, on 108 00:08:22,155 --> 00:08:27,635 Speaker 1: Putin's instructions, was Voladimir Zelenski. And everybody who already hated 109 00:08:27,635 --> 00:08:30,595 Speaker 1: Trump and recognized the mortal danger he faces to the 110 00:08:30,635 --> 00:08:34,275 Speaker 1: world now hates him anew and with freshened vigor, and 111 00:08:34,355 --> 00:08:37,235 Speaker 1: everybody who thought he could be contained and directed and 112 00:08:37,355 --> 00:08:43,395 Speaker 1: exploited now sees they were again diluting themselves. And then 113 00:08:43,435 --> 00:08:46,315 Speaker 1: there are those in the middle who could never really 114 00:08:46,835 --> 00:08:51,395 Speaker 1: picture until today what it would look or sound like 115 00:08:51,795 --> 00:08:58,195 Speaker 1: if the President of the United States was insane, was 116 00:08:58,355 --> 00:09:03,635 Speaker 1: the worst person in the world, was a racist, murderous, psychopathic, 117 00:09:03,955 --> 00:09:08,075 Speaker 1: quasi human who isn't even smart enough to realize he 118 00:09:08,155 --> 00:09:11,955 Speaker 1: is attacking Zelenski, the man who would save him. On 119 00:09:12,035 --> 00:09:15,435 Speaker 1: behalf of putin the man who would destroy them both 120 00:09:18,275 --> 00:09:21,075 Speaker 1: those people in the middle. And maybe there are a 121 00:09:21,195 --> 00:09:25,315 Speaker 1: million of them, maybe there are one hundred million of them. 122 00:09:25,795 --> 00:09:29,115 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't care. They have now seen 123 00:09:29,555 --> 00:09:36,875 Speaker 1: and heard exactly what Trump the animal is, or they 124 00:09:36,915 --> 00:09:39,955 Speaker 1: will see and will hear it, or they must see 125 00:09:40,235 --> 00:09:43,195 Speaker 1: and must hear it, or we must show it to 126 00:09:43,275 --> 00:09:47,235 Speaker 1: them every day for the rest of the Trump dictatorship. 127 00:09:47,675 --> 00:09:49,875 Speaker 2: I'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that's going to 128 00:09:49,955 --> 00:09:51,235 Speaker 2: end the destruction of your country. 129 00:09:51,355 --> 00:09:53,875 Speaker 3: Yes, but if you present with respect. 130 00:09:53,955 --> 00:09:55,875 Speaker 2: I think it's disrespectful for you to come into the 131 00:09:55,875 --> 00:09:57,275 Speaker 2: Oval Office to try to litigate this. 132 00:09:57,275 --> 00:09:58,595 Speaker 3: In front of the American media. 133 00:09:58,755 --> 00:10:02,195 Speaker 2: Right now, you guys are going around and forcing conscripts 134 00:10:02,195 --> 00:10:04,635 Speaker 2: to the front lines because you have manpower problem. 135 00:10:05,035 --> 00:10:07,355 Speaker 3: You should be thinking, the president for everybody to bring 136 00:10:07,395 --> 00:10:09,515 Speaker 3: it into this country.

Of course, yes, 203 00:13:14,995 --> 00:13:17,235 Speaker 3: it's gonna be a very hard thing to do business 204 00:13:17,315 --> 00:13:19,635 Speaker 3: like this. I'm gonna tell you to say thank you. 205 00:13:19,995 --> 00:13:24,115 Speaker 4: I said it, except for America, except that there are. 206 00:13:23,995 --> 00:13:25,635 Speaker 3: Disagreements, and let's. 207 00:13:25,435 --> 00:13:28,315 Speaker 2: Go litigate those disagreements rather than trying to. 208 00:13:28,235 --> 00:13:30,635 Speaker 3: Fight it out in the American media. When you're wrong, 209 00:13:31,195 --> 00:13:33,195 Speaker 3: we know that you're wrong. What if Russia brings the 210 00:13:33,275 --> 00:13:37,435 Speaker 3: cease fire? What if anything? What if the bomb drops 211 00:13:37,435 --> 00:13:40,635 Speaker 3: on your head right now? Okay? What if they broke it. 212 00:13:41,275 --> 00:13:41,635 Speaker 1: I don't know. 213 00:13:41,715 --> 00:13:44,635 Speaker 5: They broke it with Biden because Biden didn't respect him. 214 00:13:44,675 --> 00:13:49,475 Speaker 5: They didn't respect Obama, they respect me. Let me tell you, 215 00:13:49,515 --> 00:13:51,075 Speaker 5: Putin went through a hell of a lot with me. 216 00:13:51,155 --> 00:13:53,835 Speaker 5: He went through a phony witch hunt where they used 217 00:13:53,915 --> 00:13:56,835 Speaker 5: him in Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia. 218 00:13:56,875 --> 00:13:57,835 Speaker 3: You ever hear of that deal? 219 00:13:57,915 --> 00:14:00,675 Speaker 5: There was a phony that was a phony Hunter Biden, 220 00:14:01,275 --> 00:14:05,715 Speaker 5: Joe Biden scam, Hillary Clinton shifting Adam Schiff, who was 221 00:14:05,755 --> 00:14:07,595 Speaker 5: a Democrat scam. 222 00:14:08,075 --> 00:14:10,075 Speaker 3: And he had to go through that, and he did 223 00:14:10,115 --> 00:14:11,915 Speaker 3: go through it. We didn't end up in a war, 224 00:14:12,875 --> 00:14:14,595 Speaker 3: and he went through it. He was accused of all 225 00:14:14,635 --> 00:14:16,435 Speaker 3: that stuff. He had nothing to do with it. 226 00:14:16,435 --> 00:14:20,315 Speaker 5: It came out of Hunter Biden's bathroom. It came out 227 00:14:20,355 --> 00:14:22,355 Speaker 5: of Hunter Biden's bedroom. 228 00:14:22,835 --> 00:14:24,075 Speaker 3: It was disgusting. 229 00:14:24,715 --> 00:14:28,515 Speaker 1: Burn in hell. Donald Trump. I would say the same 230 00:14:28,595 --> 00:14:30,875 Speaker 1: for Vance, but I suspect that even he has just 231 00:14:30,915 --> 00:14:33,555 Speaker 1: begun to realize that he is already burning in hell. 232 00:14:34,595 --> 00:14:37,795 Speaker 1: He works for Trump. He's realizing it the way Marco 233 00:14:37,875 --> 00:14:41,315 Speaker 1: Rubio clearly realized it this afternoon as he sat on 234 00:14:41,355 --> 00:14:45,195 Speaker 1: that couch. And perhaps if Marco were smart and he's not, 235 00:14:46,275 --> 00:14:48,635 Speaker 1: Marco calculated whether what they were all doing in that 236 00:14:48,715 --> 00:14:51,195 Speaker 1: room and outside of it in the world today might 237 00:14:51,235 --> 00:14:54,555 Speaker 1: actually constitute a war crime charge against him. Someday in 238 00:14:54,595 --> 00:14:59,235 Speaker 1: the not too distant future. And for the record, to 239 00:14:59,275 --> 00:15:02,555 Speaker 1: our still cowering news media and it's idiot billionaire owners. 240 00:15:02,635 --> 00:15:05,355 Speaker 1: If you think when push comes to show of your 241 00:15:05,475 --> 00:15:11,435 Speaker 1: filating of Trump will somehow save you, listen to the 242 00:15:11,515 --> 00:15:16,555 Speaker 1: hatred and the venom he voiced at Zelenski. That could 243 00:15:16,555 --> 00:15:21,315 Speaker 1: have been you Bezos. That could have been you Zuckerberg, 244 00:15:23,155 --> 00:15:31,315 Speaker 1: and soon or late that will be you Musk. But 245 00:15:31,435 --> 00:15:35,435 Speaker 1: specifically to the reporters, No Politico, your headline disaster for 246 00:15:35,715 --> 00:15:39,315 Speaker 1: Ukraine in the Oval office. You and your right wing 247 00:15:39,355 --> 00:15:42,555 Speaker 1: European owners are wrong again. That was a disaster for 248 00:15:42,755 --> 00:15:45,875 Speaker 1: Trump in the Oval office. And if that is not 249 00:15:46,075 --> 00:15:50,915 Speaker 1: apparent right now, it will be damn fast. No Washington 250 00:15:50,995 --> 00:15:57,715 Speaker 1: Post your headline, Trump scolds Zelensky in Oval office. F you, 251 00:15:59,475 --> 00:16:03,075 Speaker 1: F you, Jeff Bezos. If everybody who hasn't quit the 252 00:16:03,155 --> 00:16:09,915 Speaker 1: Washington Post yet, Woodward and f Bernstein, if you claim 253 00:16:09,955 --> 00:16:12,275 Speaker 1: to love the Washington Post, or you ever loved the 254 00:16:12,395 --> 00:16:17,475 Speaker 1: Washington Post, repudiate the Washington Post now. It should be 255 00:16:17,515 --> 00:16:21,155 Speaker 1: out of business by Monday. It is now a more 256 00:16:21,235 --> 00:16:26,155 Speaker 1: dishonorable place to work than Fox News. Because Fox News 257 00:16:26,395 --> 00:16:29,795 Speaker 1: didn't just do a one eighty and adopt their positions. 258 00:16:31,675 --> 00:16:34,555 Speaker 1: The Washington Post and all those who serve it another 259 00:16:34,595 --> 00:16:40,435 Speaker 1: bunch of whores. No, CNN, your headline Zelensky leaves Trump 260 00:16:40,635 --> 00:16:46,115 Speaker 1: meeting early after shouting match. No, among other things, that 261 00:16:46,275 --> 00:16:50,195 Speaker 1: is factually inaccurate. There was no shouting match. Zelensky did 262 00:16:50,195 --> 00:16:54,835 Speaker 1: not shout. There was Trump a feral creature, a wobbling 263 00:16:54,995 --> 00:17:00,235 Speaker 1: pile of human feces covered in makeup, yelling at a 264 00:17:00,315 --> 00:17:06,875 Speaker 1: real president. To the media, this is your warning. You 265 00:17:06,955 --> 00:17:11,115 Speaker 1: may feel the winds blowing in Trump's direction at this hour, 266 00:17:11,435 --> 00:17:14,675 Speaker 1: and opposite of everything your predecessors have ever done. You 267 00:17:14,755 --> 00:17:19,635 Speaker 1: may think it prudent to blow with raw, arrogant, morally 268 00:17:19,675 --> 00:17:23,635 Speaker 1: indefensible power, rather than to fight against the usual role 269 00:17:23,755 --> 00:17:26,275 Speaker 1: of the free press in this country when it was 270 00:17:26,315 --> 00:17:30,835 Speaker 1: still free to do this. You do so at the 271 00:17:30,875 --> 00:17:34,595 Speaker 1: peril of your self destruction. The rubicon was crossed in 272 00:17:34,635 --> 00:17:39,155 Speaker 1: the Oval Office today. Formally, officially and legally, Trump is 273 00:17:39,275 --> 00:17:43,435 Speaker 1: President of the United States. Morally, he no longer possesses 274 00:17:43,515 --> 00:17:47,555 Speaker 1: the title, and his behavior will no longer be tolerated. 275 00:17:48,555 --> 00:17:51,755 Speaker 1: Cheerlead for him, media, at the risk of all that 276 00:17:51,915 --> 00:18:01,155 Speaker 1: matters to you, which is your money. This This was 277 00:18:01,195 --> 00:18:07,715 Speaker 1: your headline, CNN, Politico, Washington Post, the others. This is 278 00:18:07,755 --> 00:18:11,675 Speaker 1: your story. This is what history will record, and damn 279 00:18:11,795 --> 00:18:16,355 Speaker 1: fast to faster than you could possibly imagine. This was 280 00:18:16,395 --> 00:18:22,875 Speaker 1: what happened. Two of the great cowards of history set up, ambushed, 281 00:18:23,115 --> 00:18:29,595 Speaker 1: and attacked the twenty first century's most courageous leader, and 282 00:18:29,675 --> 00:18:34,435 Speaker 1: its most courageous leader not only took their imbecilities, he 283 00:18:34,555 --> 00:18:43,355 Speaker 1: answered them calmly, decisively, inarguably. And the American people have 284 00:18:43,475 --> 00:18:47,155 Speaker 1: today seen, and will every day from now on sea 285 00:18:47,195 --> 00:18:53,435 Speaker 1: again and again and again, their true enemy, the true 286 00:18:53,675 --> 00:18:59,635 Speaker 1: threat to this nation, the true conspiracy, and its name. 287 00:19:01,195 --> 00:19:01,675 Speaker 3: Is Trump. 288 00:19:07,515 --> 00:19:11,475 Speaker 1: Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio.
