1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:06,240 Speaker 1: This is the warning. Donald Trump is a fool who 2 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 1: is being celebrated in this moment by a capitulant media 3 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,959 Speaker 1: and by a state media that is coming together making 4 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,239 Speaker 1: its debut during a White House news conference a bilateral 5 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 1: meeting between the Prime Minister of India and the President 6 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 1: of the United States. 7 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 2: How much more confident are you with President Trump leading 8 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 2: this country that there will be peace through strength and 9 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 2: you will have a successful partnership with the United States 10 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 2: versus with Biden's incompetence and weakness over the last four years. 11 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: That's your question, but I'll answer it. 12 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 3: I agree with you. 13 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, gross incompetence. Donald Trump has made clear he's all powerful. 14 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: But each day is based on a foundation of blaming 15 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: Joe Biden for all things. Now, Joe Biden did or 16 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: didn't do whatever, however you may see it. But one 17 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: thing we should all be able to agree on is 18 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: Joe Biden did not start Vladimir Putin's criminal war of 19 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: aggression against Ukraine, shattering international law and the concept that 20 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: bigger nations don't invade smaller nations which they have security 21 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: guarantees with to expand their territory. The world that was 22 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: rebuilt out of the ashes of the Second World's War. 23 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: Made certain of this because the world barely survived, and 24 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: today is a terrible anniversary of that war. The firebombing 25 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: a complete destruction of the city of Dresden. The people 26 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: who lived in Dresden were promised strength and prosperity. And 27 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: here is Donald Trump being asked a question in the 28 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: year twenty twenty five, after Vladimir Putin initiated a war 29 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 1: that is killed over a million human beings, has seen 30 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: the kidnapping of tens of thousands of Ukrainian children. Asked 31 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,679 Speaker 1: whether he trusts Putin, Trump says. 32 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 3: This, I know him very well. Yeah. I think he 33 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 3: was peace. I think he would tell me if he didn't. 34 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 3: I think I'd like to see peace. 35 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: Do you trust that I believe that. 36 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, I believe that he would like to see something happen. 37 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 3: I trust him on this subject. I think he'd like 38 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 3: to see something happen. 39 00:02:54,440 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: The genius Trump has thrilled Vladimir Putin by a unilaterally 40 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: deciding from the Oval Office, next to a map that 41 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,399 Speaker 1: says Gulf of America where the Gulf of Mexico used 42 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: to be, that he will impose a settlement on Ukraine 43 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: and on Europe without their involvement, without their say, the 44 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: United States will carve up Ukraine with Russia, like Russia 45 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: and Germany once did to Poland in a deal that 46 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: is reminiscent of the Munich Agreement, where Czechoslovakia was sold 47 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: out by the Great Powers to a rapacious dictator. Donald 48 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: Trump thinks he's making deals. Donald Trump is lighting a fuse. 49 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: The Secretary of Defense is a dipshit and the entire 50 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: world understands this friend infoe simply by watching the Fox 51 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: News Morning lightweight try to conduct himself on the world stage. 52 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: It is preposterous and painful and cringe inducing. The first 53 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: thing that should be said is, if you are the 54 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: Secretary of Defense, you should have a basic modicum of 55 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: respect for the American flag, which is not a fashion adornment. 56 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: The Flag Code makes this clear. Pete Hegseeth should lose 57 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: the pocket square. He doesn't need any help, looking more 58 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: vapid than he already is a cartoon character in a 59 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: dangerous world. Pete Hegsath standing behind a podium preposterously as 60 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:47,919 Speaker 1: Secretary of Defense is asked a question about what concessions 61 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: will be asked of Vladimir Putin, What will he be 62 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,799 Speaker 1: asked to give up? Who let the stuttering begin? Now? 63 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 4: Well, that's I would start by saying the arguments that 64 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 4: have been made that somehow coming to the table right 65 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 4: now is making concessions to Vladimir Putin outright that we 66 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 4: otherwise or that the President of the United States shouldn't 67 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 4: otherwise make. 68 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: I just reject that. 69 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 5: At its face, what we are witnessing is an unraveling 70 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 5: of the American idea and ideal that rebuilt Europe from 71 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 5: the ashes, the ashes brought by fascism that was destroyed by. 72 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: The United Nations, led by the United States. And so 73 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: in this sick carnival, we have Vice President j D 74 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: in Munich at the Security Summit Age forty delivering his 75 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: first lecture about how the world will be. JD. Vance 76 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: is ready to move past the lessons of history. You see, 77 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: j D is an agent, a lot like Big Balls, 78 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: who is rampaging through the State department of the world's 79 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: richest man. The Vice President of the United States has 80 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: been vassalized. He is a spokesperson for Elon Musk and 81 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: so he will deliver a lecture to the European allies 82 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: who are part of the most successful, powerful military alliance 83 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 1: in world's history. Not about anything other than the self 84 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: interest of a single man. 85 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 6: Speaking up and expressing opinions. Isn't election interference, even when 86 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 6: people express views outside your own country, and even when 87 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 6: those people are very influential and trust me, I say 88 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 6: this with all humor. If American democracy can survive ten 89 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 6: years of Thunberg scolding you guys, can survive a few 90 00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 6: months of Elon Musk. 91 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:05,359 Speaker 1: Musk, it seems, is the national security policy of the 92 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: United States. And how dare Germany object to Elon Musk, 93 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: who delivered this salute four hours after Trump's inauguration, weighing 94 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: in in support of a party rooted in neo Nazism, extremism, 95 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: fascism that's led by people who say the SS was 96 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: not a criminal organization. Jd Vance has made it clear 97 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: that Germany better see the world not through the lens 98 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: of history, not through the lessons of its past, not 99 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: through the shame of its Nazi criminal past, but rather 100 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: through the revanchist eyes of Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Pete 101 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: Hegsath n jd Vance are fanning out to spread a 102 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: gospel of Trump Ism and trump Ism is a simpleton's 103 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: philosophy of how a simpleton imagines the world should be, 104 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: but never will be because it is completely detached from reality, 105 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: and the price of arrogance incertitude in the nuclear weapons 106 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: age is profoundly dangerous. What we are witnessing is a 107 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: stripping of America's values and uncoupling of it from America's power. 108 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: And it is an ugly, ugly thing to watch and 109 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: embarrassing the unhinged cabinet and the vassalized Vice President spreading 110 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 1: the gospel of trump Ism in the ghosts of Europe's 111 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: fascist past, dismissing it, discounting it, and demanding accommodation for 112 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: a new birth of extremism fueled by Donald Trump from Washington, DC. Pathetic, scary, 113 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: and it must be opposed, and it will be opposed 114 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: because freedom will not go gently into that good night, 115 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: regardless of what three blind men tell the American media, 116 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: the American people, or the leaders of our most important 117 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: analyzed This is the warning.
