1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,040 Speaker 1: It is Monday, May the fifth, twenty twenty five. This 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 1: is the warning. After ten long years since the madness began, 3 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: since Donald Trump descended his golden escalator in Trump Tower 4 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 1: denouncing Mexican Americans as rapists and murderers. Finally a question 5 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 1: was put to him whether Donald Trump must follow the 6 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:27,319 Speaker 1: Constitution as the supreme law of the land in the 7 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: United States. Now, the question put to Trump was put 8 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: to him regardless and detached from the fact that twice 9 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: he's taken a thirty five word oath that swore to preserve, protect, 10 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: and defend the Constitution of the United States. But when 11 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,959 Speaker 1: Kristen Welker asked him, the answer. 12 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 2: Was, your Secretary of State says, everyone who's here, citizens 13 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 2: and non citizens, deserved to process. Do you agree, mister, 14 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 2: I don't know. 15 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 3: I'm not a lawyer. I don't know. 16 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 2: Don't you need to uphold the Constitution of the United 17 00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 2: States as present? 18 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 3: I don't know. I have to respond by saying, again, 19 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 3: I have brilliant lawyers that work for me, and they 20 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 3: are going to obviously follow what the Supreme Court say. 21 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: What is it exactly that Donald Trump thinks he is 22 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 1: King Emperor furer duche American dictator Caesar the first. The 23 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: American people are held hostage by Trump's malice, but also 24 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: his sicophants, the weaklings, the corrupt and hollow men and 25 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 1: women around him, political extremists, little Aikmans like Stephen Miller, 26 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,680 Speaker 1: like Carolyn Levin. Do you ever get tired of these 27 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: people screaming at you, screeching at you? They work for us. 28 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: We are a government of the people, by the people, 29 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: for the people. The Constitution of the United States of 30 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: America is immutable, there is no debate. Yet every day 31 00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: the American people are subjected to by corp media companies 32 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: a theater of the absurd, where Donald Trump signs press releases, 33 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:12,119 Speaker 1: announces them as the King's decrees, and the media asks 34 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: can you do this? Do you have the authority? And 35 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: in most every instance the answer is no. Kristen Welker's 36 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 1: question was weak, tepid, and the whole interview was a mess. 37 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: She got steamrolled from beginning to end. Can you imagine 38 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 1: Tim Russer asking a question to an American president do 39 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: you have to follow the constitution? Like do you really 40 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: have to put two pinches of salt into the stew? 41 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: It's not a question Donald Trump is obligated under the 42 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:52,839 Speaker 1: Constitution as president to obey the Constitution period he has 43 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: sworn to preserve, protect, and defend it. We know that 44 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: is meaningless, We know that he doesn't mean it, but 45 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: the idea that it's a question that he has to 46 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: follow it. No, the United States Constitution is the law 47 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: of the land. But let's be honest. Over ten years, 48 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: in thousands of exchanges with the American media, Donald Trump 49 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: has never, not once been asked a serious or probing 50 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: question about the freedom of speech, the right to dissent, 51 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: the freedom of religion, the separation of powers, the checks 52 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: and balances, the separation of church and state. Donald Trump 53 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: has never been asked any questions about the cornerstones of 54 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: the American civilization built up over two one hundred and 55 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: fifty years. Not one thoughtful, deep, penetrating, probing question on 56 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: any of these issues. And this, at the core closes 57 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: the case on the putrid American corporate media that loves 58 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: to give each other trophies and awards. These reporters who 59 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: celebrate each other inside their click in Washington, DC, detached 60 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: from the lives of ordinary people from coast to coast, 61 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: who are paid millions and millions of dollars a year 62 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: to hold power to account. Have done just the oppos 63 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: Why can't Kristin Welker hold her grounds. 64 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 2: Let's watch, prices are already going up on some popular items, 65 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 2: fires strollers. 66 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 3: This is such a dishonest interview. Already prices are down 67 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 3: on groceries. Prices are down for oil. Prices are down 68 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 3: for oil energy. Prices are down at tremendous numbers for gasoline. 69 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 1: Trump's greatest vulnerability is his need to be seen, to 70 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: be on television. Vladimir Putin doesn't need to psychologically engage 71 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: the media every day. He's simply content with power. Trump 72 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 1: needs the attention, and so does his team of incompetence. 73 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 1: They have to perform for their ring master, who judges 74 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: them appearance to appearance. So the way to defeat this, 75 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 1: the way to oppose it, the way to end it 76 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: is to exploit the answers to tough questions and show 77 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: the American people who they are. But over and over 78 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: and over again, the American media refuses flatly to do 79 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: its job. How many interviews are like Terry Moranz regarding 80 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: Donald Trump one out of two hundred and fifty or 81 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: is it one out of every five thousand. 82 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 3: Well, wait a minute, Wait a minute, he had MS thirteen. 83 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 2: He had some tattoos that are interpreted that way. 84 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 1: But let's move on. 85 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 3: Wait a minute. 86 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: I will tear it Terry, Terry. He did not have 87 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: the letter MS one. 88 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 3: It says MS one three. 89 00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 2: That was photoshoph So let. 90 00:05:59,640 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 3: Me do it. 91 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: Photoship Terry ahead of them. Hey, they're giving you the 92 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: big break of a lifetime. You know you're doing the interview. 93 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 3: I picked you because frankly. 94 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 2: I never heard of you. 95 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 3: But that's okay. I picked you, Terry. Hey, but you're 96 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 3: not being very nice. 97 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: It is very rare when somebody has the intellectual grit, 98 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: the stamina, the emotional wherewithal to hang with Trump and 99 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: push back on the lies. Toughness is required in this moment. 100 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: But Donald Trump is met over and over and over 101 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: again by weakness, by weakness from his political opposition, who 102 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 1: thinks the question of whether a man can be sent 103 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,239 Speaker 1: out of the country to a concentration camp is inconvenient 104 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: for Democrats because well, let's face it, he has brown 105 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,559 Speaker 1: skin and he's not overly sympathetic. But the bottom line 106 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: is this, in the United States, even Hannibal Lecter would 107 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 1: get to stand in front of a judge. Everybody in 108 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: this country, no matter what they do, how evil they are, 109 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: the worst of the worst of the worst of the worst, 110 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: gets to stand in front of a judge. Do you 111 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: know why. It's what keeps all of us safe. It 112 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: keeps the government jackboot from coming down on our necks. 113 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: The Fifth Amendment, the Fourth Amendment, the First Amendment are 114 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: not up for debate. American rights and freedoms do not 115 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: flow from the whims of Trump. The American system is 116 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: founded on the core principle and belief that our rights 117 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: do not come from men, they come from a higher power. 118 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: And the story of America has been the story of 119 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: the fight to expand the idea of freedom to include 120 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: everybody it was excluded from on the basis of well, 121 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: their skin color was different, or their nationality was not English, 122 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: or that their religion was not Protestant. In over centuries, 123 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: through sacrifice that beggars the imagination, our country has changed. 124 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: It has become more free. Can you imagine the opportunity 125 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: to sit for an hour in this year with the 126 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: founders of the United States. George Washington did not live 127 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: to the year eighteen hundred. He died in seventeen ninety nine. 128 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: Jefferson and Adams died within minutes of each other on 129 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: July fourth, eighteen twenty six. Old men, on the fiftieth 130 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:46,319 Speaker 1: anniversary of the American Revolution, can you imagine the opportunity 131 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 1: to tell them what we've become, To show them the 132 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: picture of the forty fourth President Barack Obama, to point 133 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: at the moon and say there's an American flag on it, 134 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: To tell them that this country fulfilled the vision of 135 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: Marquis de Lafayette, who said at its birth, when the 136 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: white flags went up over the British lines at York Town, 137 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: that humanity has its victory, liberty has its country. That 138 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: we became a light unto the world, the shining City 139 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 1: on the Hill, a transcontinental nation of three one hundred 140 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: and fifty two million free people, made up of all 141 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:34,239 Speaker 1: of the world's people, where every language is spoken commonly 142 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: every day, A country that has fed more people, cured 143 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: more people, liberated more people, and done more good in 144 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 1: the world than all of the other nations put together. 145 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: From the beginning of time, and the Constitution endoors it 146 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: remains the supreme law of the land. It has been expanded, 147 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 1: it has been changed each it has been amended as 148 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: they envisioned, and it has spread freedom everywhere. Can you 149 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: imagine the look in their eyes that their vision, their dream, 150 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: what it became the United States of America. And Donald 151 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: Trump doesn't know if he has to follow the constitution. 152 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,319 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is not our king. He is an untreated 153 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: psychiatric patient, a megalomaniac who is decomposing, who is unraveling. 154 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: And he is surrounded by hollow men and women, little 155 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: Aikman's sickophants of unprecedented vileness, who will do anything, say anything, 156 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: lie to anyone at any time to keep tasting the 157 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: power that he has let them feel. The corruption is unspeakable. 158 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: The American people, ordinary folks, their life savings, their futures, 159 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: their dreams. They're unraveling. American economy will be annihilated for 160 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: tens of millions of people as this madness fully takes hold. 161 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: All the while at the private clubs in Washington, the 162 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: party rolls on and on and on. This is the 163 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 1: greatest episode and period of theft, stealing, taking, corruption in 164 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: the history of the country. Donald Trump is an open, 165 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,839 Speaker 1: outright contempt of the law of the Constitution, and it's 166 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: going to get worse, much worse. It's going to get 167 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: worse because Donald Trump is attacking the Constitution and the 168 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: Constitution is being unevenly defended by the schumercrats, by this 169 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: guy who sends strongly worded letters and thinks he's winning. 170 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. His presidency is a disaster. It's a catastrophe, 171 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: and the pain of it, the shockwaves of it haven't 172 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: reached American shores yet, but there is nothing, nothing that 173 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 1: can be done to stop it. The country institutions have 174 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: been fundamentally hijacked by people who do not believe in them, 175 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: who hate the idea of America, despise the freedoms, reject 176 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: the equilibrium and the distribution of power that is the 177 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: genius of our system. What they are trying to do 178 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: is to topple something that is sublime, deeply moral, and 179 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:29,439 Speaker 1: of the most profound importance for every person in the world. 180 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: Freedom and freedom in America is under siege. It's under 181 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: assault by no good, evil man, and make no mistake, 182 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: he is evil. And anybody who can't see the danger 183 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: at this point, well they're probably the ones in the 184 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: gravest danger. And nobody should be in danger in America 185 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 1: because of America's politicians. A terrible, terrible crisis has come. 186 00:12:54,640 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: Twenty five years of political failure, building upon each failure, 187 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: one block on top of the next, has led us 188 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 1: to this moment. And now what has come before does 189 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 1: not matter much. Words are a conservative, liberal, progressive, They 190 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: have no meaning. America is divided between two camps, those 191 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: that remain faithful to the Republic and the constitution and 192 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: those that wish to burn it down. This weekend at 193 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: mar A Lago, a part in terrorists had dinner at 194 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's invitation, the fascist thug, the proud boy leader 195 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,479 Speaker 1: Enrico Ontario. These are dangerous people. They hate our country. 196 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: They are domestic enemies, and they are trying to take 197 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: something that does not belong to them from all of 198 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 1: our children. There will be an election in November of 199 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, and these people will be crushed at 200 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: the ballot box. They will be rebuked. But there is 201 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: so much suffering between then and now. There is an 202 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: evil that has been let loose by Donald Trump, and 203 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: it will not be easily contained, nor will it be 204 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: easily buried. The corruption he has set loose, the meanness, 205 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: that he has set loose, the extremism that he has 206 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: set loose, all of it is on a rampage. Donald 207 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: Trump is what he is, and now, at long last, 208 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: we can see him clearly. This is the warning.
