Speaker 1: This is the warning. It is week two of the
Speaker 1: Trump presidency, and there is a lot going on everywhere
Speaker 1: in Washington. Change is afoot, desecrations are happening. Bill Owens
Speaker 1: of sixty minutes of CBS News is a tough man
Speaker 1: in a feeble time. Bill Owens is doing something exceptional.
Speaker 1: Bill Owens is a journalist, and he will not get
Speaker 1: on his knees. He will not bow, and he will
Speaker 1: not scrape. Bill Owens seems to understand something. He works
Speaker 1: at an institution where Edward R. Morrow worked. He works
Speaker 1: at an institution when the world faced its most dire
Speaker 1: moments that told the story of what lay over the
Speaker 1: edge of the abyss. CBS News is a vital institution.
Speaker 1: And Donald's friend Larry here he is in the overlaw
Speaker 1: office with Rupert, is going to force a capitulation. He's
Speaker 1: going to take command effectively of CBS News with a
Speaker 1: purchase of paramount hand the keys to his son, a
Speaker 1: prince of the American oligarchy who is hailed as a
Speaker 1: genius despite being born an inch from home plate. He's
Speaker 1: in the movie business, of course, and this man will
Speaker 1: soon with his son, control the network that bill Owens
Speaker 1: is defending journalism is nothing without ethics, without integrity. What
Speaker 1: bill Owens is doing is noble because he did nothing
Speaker 1: wrong and CBS did nothing wrong, and CBS News did
Speaker 1: nothing wrong. And bowing to a bully who has designs
Speaker 1: of becoming a tyrant. No. So across the media landscape,
Speaker 1: there is all manner of corruption to point a finger at.
Speaker 1: There is all manner of things to be worried about,
Speaker 1: but understand there are things to celebrate. And Bill Owens
Speaker 1: of sixty minutes in CBS hanging tough, it's one of them.
Speaker 1: And there are people like that all over America, in
Speaker 1: all walks of life. People like that have always faced
Speaker 1: off against people like this. Let me show you a sick,
Speaker 1: sick moment that happened yesterday in America, a desecration, but
Speaker 1: there is a presence at the desecration, a disapproving one.
Speaker 1: Let's watch Donald Trump swear in Pambondy alongside Clarence Thomas
Speaker 1: and his insurrectionist wife.
Speaker 2: And I just want to congratulate you, a very special person.
Speaker 2: And I'd also like to thank Clarence Thomas and his
Speaker 2: incredible wife who is here someplace as she is incredible,
Speaker 2: highly respected wife.
Speaker 3: Too.
Speaker 1: I will say, let's stop right there. Jinny Thomas is
Speaker 1: a triple a gray, free range whack job the Beggars description.
Speaker 1: She wasn't just a member of one cult, but two.
Speaker 1: She is an insurrectionist. She has just by stepping across
Speaker 1: the line into the Oval Office, by breathing there, has
Speaker 1: desecrated it, just like Trump and just like her husband,
Speaker 1: the most corrupt Supreme Court justice and American history. He
Speaker 1: is the single biggest mistake historically of the forty first
Speaker 1: presidency of the United States, George Herbert Walker Bush. An
Speaker 1: honorable man who appointed a dishonorable justice, a grifter, a
Speaker 1: con man. Clarence Thomas has long posed as somebody who
Speaker 1: seeks it's the comfort of the American people in his
Speaker 1: travels about the country in a coach motor home, where
Speaker 1: he delights sleeping in the parking lots of Walmarts, nestled
Speaker 1: in the goodness of the people. The truth is Clarence
Speaker 1: Thomas flies around the world the puppet and the horror
Speaker 1: of his billionaire masters. He goes by private jet to
Speaker 1: their yachts, to the most remote places in the world.
Speaker 1: He gets to live the fabulous life because Clarence Thomas
Speaker 1: has decided that he's above the law, just like the
Speaker 1: man he has made above the law. Let's turn to
Speaker 1: the twenty seven year old White House Press Secretary her
Speaker 1: stridency and listen to her yell a little bit about
Speaker 1: how we should appreciate the idiocies and the imbecility of
Speaker 1: our dear.
Speaker 4: Leader President Trump as an outside of the box thinker
Speaker 4: and a visionary leader who solves problems that many others,
Speaker 4: especially in this city, claim are unsolvable.
Speaker 1: Carolyn Levitt, Wow, doesn't she remind you of somebody bag Dad, Bob,
Speaker 1: of all of the Trump liars behind that podium. It
Speaker 1: is amazing that he keeps finding somebody with the capacity
Speaker 1: to step one rung higher on that ladder. It is extraordinary.
Speaker 1: Of course, while all of this happens, Secretary Little Marco
Speaker 1: is dismantling US foreign aid and telling foreign service officers
Speaker 1: to be patient to trust him and over at the Pentagon.
Speaker 1: If you have any connection to any context or concept
Speaker 1: of emotional intelligence, reading this room shouldn't be very difficult.
Speaker 1: Let's look at Pete rock back and forth in the chair.
Speaker 1: Doesn't really seemed to be in command when you watch
Speaker 1: it with audio Office what's he doing there? Well, let's listen.
Speaker 4: We've supplied munitions that were previously not supplied.
Speaker 1: They're useful in eradicating radical enemies, and we are committed
Speaker 1: to continue.
Speaker 2: To do so.
Speaker 1: Every person in that room in absolute agreement that, holy
Speaker 1: sh this buffoon is the secretary of Defense, This guy, who,
Speaker 1: no doubt will be scraping off to Laura Ingram like
Speaker 1: we want all of our defense secretaries to do by
Speaker 1: the nine pm hour.
Speaker 3: This is an outside the box thinker who understands Laura
Speaker 3: the definition of insanity, which is trying to do the
Speaker 3: same thing and hoping for a different result.
Speaker 1: Here's the deal. In order to stop Carolyn Levitt's insanity,
Speaker 1: in order to stop pambond, these abuses of the law,
Speaker 1: in order to stop what's coming, somebody has to beat
Speaker 1: these people in an election. It's as simple as that.
Speaker 1: And so we are at the beginning, not the beginning
Speaker 1: of the end, not the end of the beginning. We
Speaker 1: are at the beginning. After ten years, Donald Trump did it.
Speaker 1: He's king of the mountain, and this time he's got
Speaker 1: a plan. And that plan is dependent on one man,
Speaker 1: this man, Elon Musk. And Elon Musk is becoming more
Speaker 1: unpopular by the day. This South African by birth, who
Speaker 1: is granted the privileges of American citizenship, has no goddamn right,
Speaker 1: no matter how much money he has, to burn down
Speaker 1: the constitution of the United States, because in our country,
Speaker 1: no matter how stup these people are, it is the
Speaker 1: Congress that makes decisions on how we spend money, who
Speaker 1: gets it and who doesn't, And every two years we
Speaker 1: have elections. The truth of that matter is mostly those
Speaker 1: members of Congress pick their voters as opposed to the
Speaker 1: other way around. But there is still enough agency, combined
Speaker 1: with enough opportunity for there to be changes in the
Speaker 1: majorities in the Congress until one side quit fighting, and
Speaker 1: he gave it all the way to Trump, gave it
Speaker 1: all the way to Elon Musk so he could be
Speaker 1: the star of his own reality show and share with
Speaker 1: the world the nonsense that comes through his head. Does
Speaker 1: anybody else find this strange? Because I'm going to leave
Speaker 1: it here today as a warning.
Speaker 3: And Tommy Tuberville a great coach. You know, his quarterback
Speaker 3: was named Mahomes. He was a great college coach. And
Speaker 3: I said, how good was He said, you don't want
Speaker 3: to know how good. He made me into a great
Speaker 3: coach's pretty good quarterback, right.
Speaker 1: Tommy Turberville did not coach Patrick Mahomes. He didn't, just
Speaker 1: like I did not land on Omaha Beach on d
Speaker 1: Day or walk on the moon, just like Trump doesn't
Speaker 1: ride a horse to work. I don't know any other
Speaker 1: way to say it. So when you watch this, what's
Speaker 1: going on in Donald Trump's had? What imaginary conversation has
Speaker 1: taken place? Does Tommy Tarberville when he hears Trump say this,
Speaker 1: does he remember it? Also, if we had journalism in America,
Speaker 1: someone would be able to figure it out. But since
Speaker 1: we don't, or in Washington we have Politico, I'll take
Speaker 1: a guess they're in on the imagination together. And let
Speaker 1: me tell you something. Whether it's the war in Canada,
Speaker 1: the war in Panama, the war against Denmark for Greenland,
Speaker 1: or the Great Trump Village in the Gaza Strip, his
Speaker 1: imagination is going to cause a lot of damage by
Speaker 1: the time Nightmare gets to its end. This is the morning.
