1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,400 Speaker 1: The Trump administration has begun. It's over, and America is 2 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: already transformed by the malice, by the venality, and by 3 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: the arrival indisputably of a new age. This is the warning, 4 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 1: but it's important to appreciate its arrival came as part 5 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,920 Speaker 1: of a contiguous event. Donald Trump has taken the room 6 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 1: that he sent his mob to storm four years ago. 7 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,239 Speaker 2: It is reassuring, frankly, is that for those of us 8 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 2: who spend so much time covering the division here in 9 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,239 Speaker 2: Washington and the ranker to see these people sit next 10 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 2: to each other, to chat with them, to do what 11 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,519 Speaker 2: George W. Bush did at the Carter funeral and literally 12 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 2: tap Barack Obama on the belly as he walked by. 13 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: Mike Pence entered the chamber where he would have been 14 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: hung by that mob. His mob breached these chambers carrying 15 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: the Confederate flag, but they could not hold it. Sixteen 16 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:07,479 Speaker 1: hundred of them, imprisoned, jailed, convicted by juries were pardoned, 17 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: including the violent fascist leader of the Proud Boys, out 18 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: of prison. An American terrorist free, and that's exactly what 19 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: he is. The seats normally occupied by the governors of 20 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: the states, elected officials representatives of the people were filled 21 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: by the wealthiest and most powerful men in the world 22 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: in history. They control the flow of all human information 23 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 1: and all communications. There is only one remedy. It is 24 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: to strip them of their power, and it is to 25 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: break up their companies. Four years hence, this will be 26 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: the platform of the Democratic Party or President Advance will 27 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: be giving the speech. Have no doubt about this, Donald Trump. 28 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: Whether it's I'm going to rename the Gulf of Mexico 29 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: the Gulf of America or the changing of the name 30 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: of Denali to Mount McKinley, the thousand small catnips placed 31 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,239 Speaker 1: to make the media go wild are not the point 32 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: of what happened in the inauguration. The inauguration was not 33 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: a speech about national unity or purpose. It was a 34 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: form of threat. It was an admission of mental illness. 35 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: But more than anything, it was an assertion of power 36 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: and control in a warning. Unless you sit behind me, 37 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: I'll break you, And so they sat. The deal is simple, 38 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: it's direct, and it's clear. One of you will be 39 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: the world's first trillionaire. I'll do everything I can to 40 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: make it a fair race for second place. Beyond Elon Musk. 41 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: All you have to do is make sure you never 42 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: offend me. It's as simple as that. And then the 43 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 1: world's richest man, less than four hours after Donald Trump 44 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: is sworn in, appears behind the robin egg blue podium 45 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: of the President of the United States of America emblazoned 46 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: with the presidential seal and does this. 47 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 2: And I just want to say, thank you for making 48 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 2: it happen. 49 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 3: Thank you. And this my heart goes out here. 50 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: The BBC has reported on this. 51 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 4: Don't you love that We've been told for the past 52 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 4: like past like five six years that the thing we 53 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 4: need to be most frightened of is what pronouns people 54 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 4: are using. And then someone actually does a Nazi salute 55 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,119 Speaker 4: behind the president's podium on live television. And we're we're 56 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 4: finding that. 57 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: Let's slow down, elons Hail victory salute. Let's watch it 58 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: in slow motion. Can you see the release? Can you 59 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: see the explode of pent up emotion. It is extraordinary 60 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: to watch the South African behind a presidential podium on 61 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: inauguration day in the United States almost have a sexual release, 62 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: an orgasm of sorts, delivering the most vile gesture in 63 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: all of human history. What we are witnessing is the 64 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: advent of a new technological oligarchy where the people are 65 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: to be made serfs. Government of the people, by the people, 66 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: for the people will become government of billionaires, buy billionaires, 67 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: four billionaires. The richest will rule. Trump is king and 68 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: they are his lords. Let's watch the Hitler salute again. 69 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 2: And I just want to say thank you for making 70 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 2: it happen. 71 00:04:53,480 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: Thank you, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS. Let's watch America's political 72 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: media tell you you did not see what you just saw. 73 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 2: We just showed that. 74 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 3: We just showed that. 75 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 4: Right, it's worth the loot. It was quick. 76 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 2: I think our viewers are smart and they can take 77 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 2: a look at that. 78 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: But it certainly was. 79 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 2: It's not something that you typically see in American political rallies. 80 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 2: Put it that way. 81 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: No, no, it was not something that you usually would see. 82 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: And it was quick, as you point out, it was 83 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 1: very quick, but it was it was in a moment 84 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: of intensity for him as it came out dancing. 85 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 2: And then he did that. 86 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 1: This is what the people will get, generic whitewashed pablem 87 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: from the corporate media, from the Amazonian media, the Bezos media, 88 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: what Jeff Bezos is. It's an oleg Dearapaska. They all 89 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 1: are patriots. None. Let me say a final word about 90 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: one promise Trump made, planting the flag on Mars. 91 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 3: And we will pursue our manifest to the end of 92 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 3: the stars, launching American astronauts to plant the stars and 93 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 3: stripes on the planet Mars. 94 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 1: It would be an extraordinary achievement. But the exploration of 95 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:30,799 Speaker 1: the heavens, the vision of humanity moving out into the stars, 96 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: is not Elon Musk's. Elon Musk is unworthy at a 97 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: moral level to lead America's space exploration. We should not 98 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: leave this planet if what we leave this planet with 99 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: is this salute. Elon Musk delivers the Hitler salute, and 100 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 1: the American media, not wanting to give offence to Trump, says, 101 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: you didn't see it, it didn't happen, It wasn't what 102 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: it was. Even incredibly, the Anti Defamation League has forgotten 103 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 1: what the Hitler salute looks like. I'd like to ask 104 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: for your support we needed here at the warning. We 105 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: must grow to reach more people because the message here 106 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: will never ever be controlled by Donald Trump. Here we're 107 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: going to talk about reality. We're going to talk about 108 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: the truth. We're going to talk about the urgent moral 109 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: necessity of the Democratic Party coming back to life and 110 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: offering resistance to the depravities ahead. Donald Trump has laid 111 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: out a path belligerently that will lead to war and death, 112 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: an economic mayhem. Yesterday he gathered a collection of the 113 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: greatest takers in American society, filled a room with them, 114 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: and said, you have a license to do as you please, 115 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: so long as you please me. It was a tragic day, 116 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: but a lawful one. Donald Trump, in the end, succeeded 117 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: in his coup. A man who ransacked the Capitol with 118 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: a mob because he lost an election was legitimately elected. 119 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: Problem of this moment is John Fetterman and all those 120 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: Democrats that you saw yesterday. They want to take pictures 121 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: with the oligarchs. They want to snap selfies and put 122 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: them up on their instagrams. Let me remind you of 123 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: one thing that will always be true. When a clown 124 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: storms a castle, it does not make him king. It 125 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: turns the castle into a circus. And there will be 126 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: plenty of bred and circuses in the weeks and months 127 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,839 Speaker 1: and years ahead. Let us hope that there is also 128 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: conviction and strength and a leader who seeks to be 129 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: the master of the oligarchs who seek to control you 130 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: and me and all things everywhere, along with their master, 131 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: Donald John Trump, forty seventh President of the United States. 132 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 1: I'm Steve Schmidt.
