1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,720 Speaker 1: It is Wednesday, April to twenty third. This is the 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 1: morning Donald Trump is closing in on one hundred days 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,719 Speaker 1: as the forty seventh president of the United States. And 4 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:17,280 Speaker 1: it is a disaster unparalleled in the history of the country. 5 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: A political suicide of the nation's standing, of its moral virtues, 6 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 1: of its economic security, of its values, of its ideals, 7 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 1: of simple concepts like decency and kindness, all of it 8 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,560 Speaker 1: set to the torch by Donald Trump and his putrid 9 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: team a fascists. There is Secretary Little Marco, who, when 10 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: you think deeply about it, is on a global. 11 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 2: Crime screen against humanity. 12 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: There are children starving in Africa while Marco Rubio quotes 13 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:59,639 Speaker 1: Jesus on his ex account while chaining up teenage Taurus. 14 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: Marco Rubio will be held to account for all of 15 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,759 Speaker 1: this one day. Trust me, Every instance of a Trump 16 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: official breaking the law must be documented, from the lowest 17 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: to the highest, for the reckoning that is surely to come, 18 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: and it will. The American people will remove this cancer 19 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: from power. 20 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,559 Speaker 2: There is a great fight underway. There will be no. 21 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 1: Announcements that the bell has told and the fight is on. 22 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 2: That the crisis has arrived. 23 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: It will not blair from the front pages of the 24 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,559 Speaker 1: New York Times. In fact, The New York Times said 25 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: just yesterday that the Trump regime, in a news story, 26 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: is actually a well run machine until Pete hag sets 27 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: meltdown on the White House lawn. The Trump regime is 28 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: a carnival of malice and incompetence, and from top to bottom, 29 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: from Susie Wiles to Pete Hegseth to Christy Nome, it 30 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: is rotted to the core. And that rottenness is a 31 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: function of the character of the American people, their indifference, 32 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: their sloth, and their susceptibility to the evil propaganda that 33 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: has been jammed down their throat by Rupert Murdoch and 34 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 1: his billionaire family. The Murdoch's came to America as immigrants, 35 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: and unlike mister Garcia in an El Salvador Gulag, they 36 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: contributed nothing except malice. Rupert Murdoch dipped an arrow in poison, 37 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: aimed it at Liberty's heart, and fired. And now he 38 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: directs his editorialists at the Wall Street Journal to beg 39 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump stops his immolation of the global economy 40 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: and the ruined nation of America's standing in the world. 41 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:01,839 Speaker 2: Now it is too late. 42 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: What Donald Trump is burning cannot be saved, but it 43 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: can be rebuilt. 44 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 2: What has been allowed to happen is a travesty. 45 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: What has been allowed to happen is the fault of 46 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: a generation of democratic leaders and politicians who were not 47 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: tough enough, who were not smart enough, did not have 48 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: the wisdom, did not have the foresight, did not understand 49 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: historically what Trump was, and that the wolves were gathering 50 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: at the door. 51 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 2: Their naivete, their delusion, their. 52 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: Arrogance, and their selfishness has sentenced us all to this misery. 53 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: And now some of those same people wish to be 54 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: the leaders of the fight to save the Republic, when 55 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:54,119 Speaker 1: in fact they were the permission slip that let Donald 56 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: Trump walk through the unlocked gates because they lied about 57 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: Biden's capacity es, they lied about the state of the border, 58 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: they lied about the economy. 59 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 2: And then when it was all over and the price 60 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:08,559 Speaker 2: of the lies. 61 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: Came due, the people who were responsible for imposing Trump 62 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: on us told us it was our fault for not 63 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: getting in line enough behind a man who couldn't function 64 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 1: in the highest office, who couldn't communicate, who couldn't talk, 65 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: And it won't go away. And so now we sit 66 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: here watching images of children handcuffed being arrested in schools 67 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: by sheriffs. This entire menagerie that Trump has assembled is unfit. 68 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: And Democrats have to ask the American people for something, 69 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: and they're not in a position to ask it. They're 70 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 1: not in a position to ask it because they've broken 71 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: trust by refusing to fight, by lying about what was 72 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: at stake, and covering up the manifest on fitness of 73 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: a presidential candidate named Joe Biden. What Democrats have to 74 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: ask for work is power. They have to go to 75 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: the American people and say, give us the power to 76 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: make this madness stop. Yesterday, when I was interviewing Ryan Lizza, 77 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: he asked me a question. He said, what would you 78 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: advise Democrats to say about the trap Republicans are laying 79 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: over the impeachment of Trump? That Republicans will say to 80 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: every Democrat running, well, what's your position on impeaching Trump? 81 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: And Republicans will say that over the next two years, 82 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,679 Speaker 1: all will get is more of the same, more stunts, 83 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: more going nowhere, impeachments. 84 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 2: And Ryan Liza said, what's the answer today? Here's the answer. 85 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,359 Speaker 1: What Democrats should say is if you elect sixty seven 86 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: Democratic senators, Trump will be gone. We will convict him. 87 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 1: But short of that, they should directly ask for the 88 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: power to remove Christy Nome from power, to remove Pambondi 89 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 1: from power, to remove, if necessary, assume he's still there 90 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: pete Hegseth from power. Does the fact that Christie Noom, 91 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: under twenty four to seven Secret Service protections perse was 92 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: stolen with three thousand dollars, cashing it in all of 93 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: her identity cards, including her passes to the Homeland Security Building. 94 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: Does any of that set off alarm bells for anybody? 95 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: Why did Christy nom have three thousand dollars in cash? 96 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: And when will the national press report on the extent 97 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: of her relationship with the fascist Corey Lewandowski A real 98 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: one hundred percent triple grade, a wat job of the 99 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: highest conceivable rank in the Maga Firmament of Weirdness and Depravity. 100 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: He is a primo creature in the CANTEENA. He is 101 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: one of the greatest wookies, an evil one in the 102 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: Star Wars bar scene that Trump has assembled three thousand 103 00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: dollars of cash. Pete Hegsheth will be delivering graduation address 104 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: at one of the service academies next month, Are you kidding? 105 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 2: And then you should know this. 106 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: All of the economic chaos that's coming for the American people, 107 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: all of it unnecessary, all of it a choice, all 108 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: of it a result of the decisions, the incoherence, the stupidity, 109 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: and abject idiocy of Donald Trump. Every American should know 110 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: that behind closed doors, the Treasury secretary, the Trump collaborator, 111 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:38,239 Speaker 1: the Trump stooge, Scott Besson, he surrendered to the Chinese. 112 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 2: Donald Trump started a trade war with China. 113 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: His secretary of the Treasury, behind closed door, with America's 114 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: Wall Street bankers, acknowledged it's lost, acknowledged that America will 115 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: have to retreat, acknowledged that Trump's war has failed, and 116 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: that Trump is ready to koutou Tjijiingping. There has never 117 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: been an American president weaker. There has never been a 118 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: president who is a greater fool. There has never been 119 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: a more malevolent president. There has never been a president 120 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: like Donald Trump, surrounded by a posse of venomous clowns. 121 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: And the American people who picked us chose this, deceived 122 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: by lies and bullshit, disoriented by the corruption of the 123 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: politicians of both parties. The American people who picked us 124 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,719 Speaker 1: will suffer more than they can imagine. And every American 125 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: who believes that the government does not have the right 126 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: to declare you a murderer a terrorist because they don't 127 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: like what you said or thought about a politician. Every 128 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: person who understands that you don't snatch people off the 129 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: streets and send them to gulags and foreign countries had 130 00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 1: been to understand this. In the two hundred and fiftieth 131 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: anniversary year of the United States of America, everything is 132 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: on the line, and the warning that Americans had was 133 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty years in the making. Our founders 134 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: told us what would happen, what the price of our 135 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 1: indifference would be if we surrendered to the whims of 136 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: a man, our franchise, our freedoms, our liberty. They told 137 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,199 Speaker 1: us that a tyrant would rise. And a tyrant has risen, 138 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: and evil has risen and is rising higher and higher, 139 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: and it is enamored of its nastiness, of its shame, 140 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: of its lowness. And all of Trump's screaming children and 141 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: fanatics and fascists who glare at us with menace in 142 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: their eyes and snarl teeth are feeling their power, but 143 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: know this, the pushback is being felt. Elon Musk's company 144 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: is collapsing, It's going bankrupt, and it will not survive this. 145 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 1: According to news reports, Elon Musk has said, well, he 146 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 1: got in over his head. There is no escape for 147 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: Elon Musk, for Tesla, for SpaceX, for these companies. The 148 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 1: American people, in their righteous anger and might, will run 149 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,559 Speaker 1: them into the ground and bankrupt them over the next 150 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: few years. Elon will not go to Mars. Elon will 151 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: not go to Space Elon Musk will not be a 152 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: defense contractor. What he will be is a fascist with 153 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: a fortune, probably driving a Chinese electric car. This is 154 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: the warning.
