WEBVTT - MURKOWSKI COULD LEAD GOP REVOLT AGAINST TRUMP - 4.21.25 0:00:04.795 --> 0:00:29.395 Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. Now, 0:00:29.675 --> 0:00:32.955 I will tell you the answer to my question. It 0:00:33.035 --> 0:00:37.755 is this, the Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. 0:00:38.995 --> 0:00:41.355 We are not interested in the good of others. We 0:00:41.395 --> 0:00:46.875 are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury, or 0:00:46.955 --> 0:00:57.235 long life or happiness. Only power, pure power. What pure 0:00:57.475 --> 0:01:01.835 power means you will understand presently. We are different from 0:01:01.875 --> 0:01:05.075 all the oligarchies of the past in that we know 0:01:05.595 --> 0:01:09.555 what we are doing. All the others, even those who 0:01:09.595 --> 0:01:16.275 resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and 0:01:16.315 --> 0:01:20.395 the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, 0:01:21.115 --> 0:01:24.635 but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. 0:01:25.675 --> 0:01:30.395 They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized 0:01:30.555 --> 0:01:34.835 power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just 0:01:35.075 --> 0:01:37.875 round the corner of their lay up paradise where human 0:01:37.915 --> 0:01:43.555 beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. 0:01:44.675 --> 0:01:47.995 We know that no one ever sees his power with 0:01:48.035 --> 0:01:53.195 the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means, 0:01:53.915 --> 0:01:58.315 it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship 0:01:58.435 --> 0:02:03.075 in order to safeguard a revolution. One makes the revolution 0:02:04.035 --> 0:02:09.795 in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution 0:02:10.595 --> 0:02:17.635 is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object 0:02:17.875 --> 0:02:26.275 of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me? 0:02:31.875 --> 0:02:35.875 Nineteen eighty four by George Orwell, the pen name of 0:02:36.075 --> 0:02:43.995 Eric Blair, published on eight June nineteen forty nine. Sometime 0:02:44.035 --> 0:02:47.155 today or this week, Donald Trump will again prove George 0:02:47.315 --> 0:02:51.555 Orwell eric Blair a prophet, or will prove that he 0:02:51.715 --> 0:02:54.675 Trump read nineteen eighty four, but read it as an 0:02:54.715 --> 0:02:57.955 instructional manual, and he will do something his advisors will 0:02:57.995 --> 0:03:01.075 have told him this week not to do, and he 0:03:01.115 --> 0:03:04.235 will do it. Because Trump seeks power entirely for its 0:03:04.235 --> 0:03:07.115 own sake. That he knows no one ever seizes power 0:03:07.275 --> 0:03:11.475 with the intention of relinquishing it at an end. That 0:03:11.555 --> 0:03:15.235 power is not a means to Trump, that the object 0:03:15.275 --> 0:03:22.515 of power is power. Even two fascist imbeciles who surround 0:03:22.635 --> 0:03:27.915 him heg Seth, his secretary of Defense, and Vodka and 0:03:28.115 --> 0:03:32.955 Garden Gnome, the secretary of dress up dolls, they will 0:03:32.955 --> 0:03:35.315 officially tell him not to do this, that it is 0:03:35.355 --> 0:03:39.075 not necessary, that the problem is resolving itself, that he 0:03:39.115 --> 0:03:41.995 can take credit for that, And he will do it anyway, 0:03:42.075 --> 0:03:45.395 because in his reptilian brain, he will think, I am 0:03:45.395 --> 0:03:48.675 not establishing a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution. 0:03:48.955 --> 0:03:52.275 I am making a revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. 0:03:53.795 --> 0:03:59.915 And Trump will, despite the advice, invoke the Insurrection Act 0:04:00.155 --> 0:04:06.115 of eighteen oh seven if I'm wrong about this, If 0:04:06.155 --> 0:04:10.075 something else in his reptilian brain tells Trump to defer 0:04:10.675 --> 0:04:15.075 to Gnome, and hegxeth, he will only defer and delay 0:04:15.355 --> 0:04:21.635 now because doing it later will hurt more. He will 0:04:21.755 --> 0:04:25.715 invoke the Insurrection Act of eighteen oh seven, and then 0:04:25.915 --> 0:04:35.195 we will be inside his dictatorship soon or late. And 0:04:35.235 --> 0:04:40.595 that's why the most important person in this country today, 0:04:41.555 --> 0:04:47.675 right now, the person who is most likely to be 0:04:47.835 --> 0:04:52.035 able to save the country or begin to that person 0:04:52.155 --> 0:04:58.595 may be Senator Lisa Murkowski, because, like so many of 0:04:58.675 --> 0:05:06.795 us before her, Lisa Murkowski just realized what George Orwell 0:05:06.955 --> 0:05:11.355 meant when he wrote that in his novel nineteen eighty four, 0:05:11.795 --> 0:05:12.075 what do. 0:05:12.035 --> 0:05:14.755 You have to say to people who are afraid. 0:05:15.995 --> 0:05:17.835 Or are resent people who are afraid? 0:05:19.875 --> 0:05:29.515 We are all afraid. Okay, that's what I say. 0:05:32.115 --> 0:05:40.635 But we are where we're in it. We're in a 0:05:40.715 --> 0:05:42.195 time at a place. 0:05:41.875 --> 0:05:43.235 Where I don't know. 0:05:43.835 --> 0:05:44.875 I certainly have not. 0:05:45.435 --> 0:05:49.635 I have not been here before, and I'll tell you 0:05:50.075 --> 0:06:01.155 I'm I'm oftentimes very anxious myself about about using my voice. 0:06:01.515 --> 0:06:06.155 Because retaliation is really that which I suspect you have 0:06:06.195 --> 0:06:08.475 heard before. Was at a conference in front of people 0:06:08.475 --> 0:06:12.435 from nonprofit groups at Anchorage, Alaska, and it's a damn Shane. 0:06:12.475 --> 0:06:15.395 The audio is so bad there because it is the 0:06:15.435 --> 0:06:19.115 most important thing yet said by a Republican in any 0:06:19.155 --> 0:06:22.395 office this year, and thus Lisa Murkowski may be the 0:06:22.435 --> 0:06:25.755 most important person in this country right now. She said 0:06:26.075 --> 0:06:33.035 that she is afraid she has reached the exact baseline 0:06:33.115 --> 0:06:38.475 state Trump has sought. It is the exact premise of 0:06:38.715 --> 0:06:43.635 O'Brien's speech in the Torture Chamber to Winston Smith in 0:06:43.715 --> 0:06:46.755 nineteen eighty four, that the objective torture is torture and 0:06:46.795 --> 0:06:52.115 the objective power is power. She is afraid. She is 0:06:52.155 --> 0:06:55.995 afraid of retribution. She is afraid of the mob. She 0:06:56.155 --> 0:07:00.715 is afraid of what is next. She vows to be confrontational, 0:07:00.755 --> 0:07:04.035 to use her voice in public in front of the 0:07:04.075 --> 0:07:06.875 rest of us, and to her, I say, forget the 0:07:06.915 --> 0:07:12.155 rest of us, Senator, use your voice in private, use 0:07:12.195 --> 0:07:18.515 it among your Republican colleagues in the Senate. You and 0:07:18.755 --> 0:07:24.315 thirteen other Republican senators and at most four Republican representatives 0:07:24.555 --> 0:07:31.795 can stop all of this cold You, Senator Murkowski, can 0:07:32.075 --> 0:07:38.435 save the country. You can impeach Trump, or if you 0:07:38.515 --> 0:07:41.635 still can't get over the last hump, if you still 0:07:41.715 --> 0:07:47.635 think that his power is somehow Republican Party power, or 0:07:47.675 --> 0:07:51.515 that his power is somehow Conservative power, or that his 0:07:51.755 --> 0:07:55.795 power is somehow your power, or that his power is 0:07:55.835 --> 0:07:59.835 somehow anything but his power, the eighteen of you can 0:07:59.955 --> 0:08:03.755 use the threat to impeach him, to virtually fetter him, 0:08:03.915 --> 0:08:07.075 to at least control the width and breadth of the 0:08:07.155 --> 0:08:10.595 damage he does, to make him know at all times 0:08:10.955 --> 0:08:16.235 the Senate and if necessary, the House, will vote against him. 0:08:16.875 --> 0:08:19.635 You only need three other Senate Republicans to join you 0:08:19.995 --> 0:08:23.395 just to rein him in thirteen others, and you can 0:08:23.515 --> 0:08:35.235 literally destroy this man. And there is reason to hope 0:08:35.435 --> 0:08:44.395 this might actually happen before the iron curtain of dictatorship descends. Later, 0:08:44.715 --> 0:08:49.915 in her confession of fear at Anchorage, Lisa Murkowski hinted 0:08:49.955 --> 0:08:52.915 at doing exactly what I just suggested. 0:08:53.195 --> 0:08:57.715 You's charm that I am or as a young girl 0:08:59.875 --> 0:09:02.995 and eng. 0:09:04.955 --> 0:09:06.635 And am able to affect. 0:09:07.915 --> 0:09:15.515 Way, and I will figure out how I can do 0:09:17.155 --> 0:09:22.435 my ass to help the many who are so anxious. 0:09:22.675 --> 0:09:23.515 And are so afraid. 0:09:24.075 --> 0:09:28.795 Murkowski was driven in fear to this point, not by 0:09:28.835 --> 0:09:32.035 the pending decision on the Insurrection Act, nor by the 0:09:32.115 --> 0:09:36.035 rendition of an innocent Maryland father without due process, nor 0:09:36.075 --> 0:09:39.115 by the attempted rendition of hundreds of others, nor by 0:09:39.155 --> 0:09:42.395 the tariff disaster, nor by Trump ignoring the courts, but 0:09:43.355 --> 0:09:48.075 by people she knows in the federal government career, people 0:09:48.715 --> 0:09:55.115 summarily fired through the efforts of this stoned fascist foreigner Musk, 0:09:56.395 --> 0:10:00.675 their bodies symbolically piling up in front of her Senate 0:10:00.795 --> 0:10:05.195 office door fire, just so Trump can exercise the power 0:10:05.395 --> 0:10:10.915 that is exercised for its own sake. That's what has 0:10:11.035 --> 0:10:15.555 made this visceral to her. That is her specific creed 0:10:15.595 --> 0:10:23.715 decur that is what she is afraid of. It doesn't 0:10:23.715 --> 0:10:25.915 matter if she's just afraid of the one thing and 0:10:25.955 --> 0:10:28.395 acting on just the one thing. It is a start, 0:10:28.915 --> 0:10:31.835 and it is a breakthrough, and it is one lit 0:10:31.995 --> 0:10:35.875 match in the darkness that is conservatism and the Republican 0:10:35.915 --> 0:10:40.915 Party in this country right now, because Murkowski will now 0:10:40.955 --> 0:10:44.555 find what all of us have found. Start down this 0:10:44.715 --> 0:10:47.675 path of resistance, and you will discover there are only 0:10:47.715 --> 0:10:52.715 two roots. There is to be presented to you, the 0:10:52.795 --> 0:10:57.515 false promise of compromise and appeasement and partial dissent while 0:10:57.555 --> 0:11:01.675 retaining your power. And that root goes directly over a 0:11:01.755 --> 0:11:06.955 cliff behind the woods. That was the one Gretchen Whitmer 0:11:07.035 --> 0:11:10.235 took the other week. That was the one dozens of 0:11:10.275 --> 0:11:16.275 Republicans have taken. Look down below at the pile at 0:11:16.275 --> 0:11:21.435 the bottom, it's Lindsey Graham. And then there is the 0:11:21.475 --> 0:11:29.955 only other path utter resistance. To stop this. You must 0:11:29.995 --> 0:11:36.635 stop this. As Trump wields power solely. In order to 0:11:37.035 --> 0:11:42.635 wield power forever, you must become such that you resist solely, 0:11:42.715 --> 0:11:50.595 to resist him forever, Senator, Because the voice of the 0:11:50.595 --> 0:11:53.595 scared Senator Lisa Murkowski may be the most important voice 0:11:53.595 --> 0:11:56.195 in the nation right now. She's going to use her charm, 0:11:56.275 --> 0:12:00.675 She's going to have conversations. There are so many conversations 0:12:00.795 --> 0:12:05.675 Senator Murkowski can have that can save the nation. I 0:12:05.715 --> 0:12:09.675 don't dream of her joining the Bernie and AOC tour, 0:12:09.795 --> 0:12:16.875 but god damn, would that be something. But there is 0:12:17.035 --> 0:12:21.075 one advantage to having a Republican feel this way. When 0:12:21.115 --> 0:12:24.075 Republicans don't believe in the rules the rest of us do. 0:12:24.675 --> 0:12:29.595 Republicans have had no squeamishness for decades now about meeting 0:12:30.675 --> 0:12:34.715 the justices of the Supreme Court. Senator, take some of 0:12:34.755 --> 0:12:36.875 your colleagues with you, the ones who are even more 0:12:36.955 --> 0:12:39.955 afraid than you, are too afraid to even admit it 0:12:39.995 --> 0:12:44.195 the way you did, And go and see Amy Coney Barrett. 0:12:44.995 --> 0:12:49.555 I will always be suspicious of Amy Coney Barrett, but 0:12:49.675 --> 0:12:53.235 her voting record shows it is undeniable. There is a 0:12:53.395 --> 0:12:57.355 human being in there. There is somebody who holds at 0:12:57.435 --> 0:13:03.195 least some of the law sacred in there. Go see 0:13:03.315 --> 0:13:07.875 Chief Justice Roberts. I'm not sure what's inside of him, 0:13:08.955 --> 0:13:12.515 but it is clear he lives in abject terror of 0:13:12.555 --> 0:13:21.195 the executive branch subsuming and perverting the judiciary. And it 0:13:21.275 --> 0:13:23.995 looks like it has just dawned on him that Trump 0:13:24.075 --> 0:13:29.235 doesn't just intend to ignore the courts out there somewhere, 0:13:29.595 --> 0:13:34.515 the inferior courts, the district courts, the local courts on 0:13:34.595 --> 0:13:38.755 those minor things, the minor things, the Supreme Court can 0:13:38.875 --> 0:13:42.835 survive and still claim it is in charge. It looks 0:13:42.875 --> 0:13:45.635 like the idea is forming in John Robert's head that 0:13:45.715 --> 0:13:52.195 Trump means to kill him metaphorically, of course, or worse. 0:13:53.435 --> 0:13:58.035 Friday night, in the middle of the night, the Supreme 0:13:58.075 --> 0:14:03.235 Court took its second unmistakable shot across Trump's bow. It 0:14:03.315 --> 0:14:06.115 is one of the other signs hope, besides the fear 0:14:06.635 --> 0:14:11.675 inside Lisa Murkowski. The Court stepped in, not waiting for 0:14:11.835 --> 0:14:14.715 inferior courts to rule, not waiting for one of its 0:14:14.755 --> 0:14:19.995 own justices to rule, just stepping in as the whole 0:14:20.035 --> 0:14:23.315 court and saying, no, you will not kidnap and disappear 0:14:23.395 --> 0:14:26.435 anybody from the soil of the United States of America 0:14:26.715 --> 0:14:32.355 using the Alien Enemies Act, at least until further notice. 0:14:32.435 --> 0:14:36.555 We will get back to you, President Fatso they put 0:14:36.595 --> 0:14:43.075 this out so late, I was already asleep. They put 0:14:43.115 --> 0:14:46.395 this out at one am Eastern daylight time, Friday night, 0:14:46.435 --> 0:14:50.035 Saturday morning. It is a very polite, very legalistic fu 0:14:50.275 --> 0:14:53.595 to Donald Trump, very much of a piece with Senator 0:14:53.675 --> 0:14:57.355 Van Holland spitting the truth yesterday that Trump is already 0:14:57.355 --> 0:14:59.955 ignoring the courts and already ignoring the Supreme Court, and 0:14:59.995 --> 0:15:05.115 thus we are already in a constitutional crisis and guess 0:15:05.155 --> 0:15:09.955 who doesn't like getting ignored or being the victims of 0:15:09.995 --> 0:15:15.115 a constitutional crisis. Well, surveys say seven out of nine 0:15:15.195 --> 0:15:20.555 members of the Supreme Court don't like this quote aarp 0:15:20.955 --> 0:15:25.355 et al v. Trump, President of US et al. There 0:15:25.435 --> 0:15:27.675 is before the Court an application on behalf of a 0:15:27.795 --> 0:15:31.995 putitive class of detainees seeking an injunction against their removal 0:15:32.075 --> 0:15:35.595 under the Alien Enemies Act. The matter is currently pending 0:15:35.635 --> 0:15:38.635 before the Fifth Circuit. Upon action by the Fifth Circuit, 0:15:38.635 --> 0:15:41.715 the Solicitor General is invited to file a response to 0:15:41.795 --> 0:15:49.235 the application before this Court as soon as possible. That's 0:15:49.355 --> 0:15:52.875 shoving the Fifth Circuit Court out of the effing way. 0:15:53.755 --> 0:15:58.915 The government is directed not to remove any member of 0:15:58.995 --> 0:16:03.315 the putative class of detainees from the United States until 0:16:03.395 --> 0:16:08.755 further order of this Court. C. Twenty eight USC. One 0:16:08.875 --> 0:16:13.555 sixty five to one a. Justice Thomas and Justice Alito 0:16:13.595 --> 0:16:16.635 dissent from the Court's order. Statement from Justice Alito to 0:16:16.675 --> 0:16:23.915 follow Now. The Court could undo this today, even though 0:16:24.155 --> 0:16:28.035 it's pretty obvious it was seven to two, with even 0:16:28.115 --> 0:16:32.595 Kavanaugh and Gorsich saying no more renditions, no more, using 0:16:32.755 --> 0:16:36.395 nineteenth century laws designed to protect the nation when it 0:16:36.515 --> 0:16:40.635 is next literally invaded by Britain or France and armies 0:16:40.675 --> 0:16:45.515 with Muskets rendezvousing with their spies who already live here 0:16:45.515 --> 0:16:48.315 and are wearing tricorn hats to try to blend in 0:16:49.475 --> 0:16:56.355 No More Alien Enemies Act, asshole. This is especially pertinent 0:16:56.395 --> 0:17:00.955 because last week refugees from Afghanistan here legally after working 0:17:01.035 --> 0:17:04.995 with US at their own peril against the Taliban there, 0:17:05.155 --> 0:17:11.475 they got emails from the Trump regime telling them they 0:17:11.515 --> 0:17:14.475 had seven days to quote self deport in their case, 0:17:14.515 --> 0:17:19.075 to go back to Afghanistan and get killed. These are 0:17:19.115 --> 0:17:22.595 the same people Trump treated like martyrs when the withdrawal 0:17:22.675 --> 0:17:30.795 he arranged from Afghanistan went predictably tragic. Under Biden, We're 0:17:30.835 --> 0:17:33.475 so sorry for them, Let's send them home to be killed. 0:17:34.835 --> 0:17:37.715 This is also especially pertinent because of Hegseth and Noam 0:17:37.755 --> 0:17:41.515 and the Alien Enemy Act's cousin, the Good Old Insurrection Act. 0:17:41.555 --> 0:17:44.835 At eighteen oh seven, the day Trump returned from Elba 0:17:45.635 --> 0:17:49.475 and seized power again, he directed those two clowns to 0:17:49.635 --> 0:17:53.315 submit a report in ninety days advising him on conditions 0:17:53.355 --> 0:17:56.595 at the southern border and whether or not he should 0:17:56.675 --> 0:18:00.275 invoke the Insurrection Act. And guess what he expected them 0:18:00.315 --> 0:18:09.115 to say yesterday was da Friday. CNN reported the Hegseth 0:18:09.155 --> 0:18:16.795 Gnome report will conclude border crossings are low lower and 0:18:16.875 --> 0:18:20.395 they do not need the additional authority provided by the 0:18:20.435 --> 0:18:23.955 Insurrection Act, you know, authority like suspending much of the 0:18:23.955 --> 0:18:26.955 constitution over a large part of the country, or effort 0:18:27.035 --> 0:18:31.635 over all of the country. I don't doubt the CNN reporting. 0:18:31.675 --> 0:18:33.875 I also don't doubt that if that's what they're going 0:18:33.915 --> 0:18:37.075 to do, it will enrage Trump and he might even 0:18:37.155 --> 0:18:40.555 fire Hegseth and Gnome and invoke the Act anyway, because 0:18:40.555 --> 0:18:43.675 the object of power is power, and Trump cannot process 0:18:43.715 --> 0:18:47.235 why these other carbon based life forms in the room 0:18:47.315 --> 0:18:53.875 with him would delay grabbing more power. As I said, 0:18:53.875 --> 0:19:00.755 he will do it or try it. If it be now, 0:19:01.435 --> 0:19:05.235 tis not to come. If it be not to come, 0:19:05.395 --> 0:19:10.235 it will be now. If it be not now yet, 0:19:10.315 --> 0:19:46.115 it will come. The readiness is all, Senator Murkowski. It 0:19:46.275 --> 0:19:48.835 is also clear I think that those in Trump's inner 0:19:48.835 --> 0:19:51.795 circle have recognized something is wrong with Trump, I mean 0:19:51.875 --> 0:19:54.795 extra wrong with him. You see it now in every 0:19:54.835 --> 0:19:59.035 public statement of fealty and those televised cabinet meetings that 0:19:59.075 --> 0:20:04.435 would make Kim Jong un blush. They are soft soaping 0:20:04.475 --> 0:20:10.155 him whenever possible. They are, so to speak, throwing small 0:20:10.275 --> 0:20:12.555 fish at his mouth to keep him happy and to 0:20:12.635 --> 0:20:17.475 keep him from trying to attack the peaquad. They are 0:20:17.515 --> 0:20:23.115 forcing him, or massaging him into doing a series of climbdowns. 0:20:23.475 --> 0:20:26.155 There's no mistaking it. He has even started some of 0:20:26.195 --> 0:20:32.035 the climbdowns himself. Iran is a climb down. The tariff 0:20:32.075 --> 0:20:37.035 disaster was in mismanagement, lies and changes. Of course, the 0:20:37.115 --> 0:20:40.955 twenty first century equivalent of how the Johnson administration managed 0:20:41.035 --> 0:20:46.675 Vietnam only condensed into like three weeks. They climbed down 0:20:46.715 --> 0:20:50.235 on it. They made money off the climb down, but 0:20:50.275 --> 0:20:53.835 they climbed down off of it. He's climbed down on 0:20:53.995 --> 0:20:57.835 Musk erratically. Sometimes there have been climbs back ups, but 0:20:57.955 --> 0:21:01.475 Musk is on the periphery. Again. There are even the 0:21:01.555 --> 0:21:05.675 vague shadows of a climb down about Ukraine, the attack 0:21:05.715 --> 0:21:09.155 on the universities climb down. Why would you admit the 0:21:09.195 --> 0:21:13.075 threatening letter to Harvard was sent without authorization If you 0:21:13.155 --> 0:21:16.795 didn't realize that Harvard had now decided to retaliate in 0:21:16.835 --> 0:21:24.715 a fight, it will win. This reported recommendation against the 0:21:24.755 --> 0:21:29.715 Insurrection Act, that's a climb down the National Intelligence Council. 0:21:29.755 --> 0:21:33.795 The Reader's Digest version of our eighteen intelligence agencies wrote 0:21:33.835 --> 0:21:37.395 a secret assessment earlier this month that no, sorry, sorry, Trump, 0:21:37.515 --> 0:21:40.315 Venezuela is not directing an invasion of the US and 0:21:40.475 --> 0:21:46.515 using the trend Deragua gang as its mercenaries, so Trump 0:21:46.515 --> 0:21:49.075 can't use that as his excuse to invoke the Alien 0:21:49.155 --> 0:21:53.195 Enemies Act. The whole attempt to stage manage Senator Van 0:21:53.235 --> 0:21:56.115 Holn's visit to see kilbar of Rego Garcia was a 0:21:56.195 --> 0:22:00.635 climb down. First of all, who decided to let Van 0:22:00.715 --> 0:22:04.115 Hollends see him after insisting he could not possibly be seen. 0:22:04.875 --> 0:22:07.835 Two countries were aligned against. Oh yeah, he's over there, 0:22:07.875 --> 0:22:13.595 go see him. Who made that decision? The dictator of 0:22:13.635 --> 0:22:18.595 Al Salvador, who draws his hair on Trump made the decision? 0:22:20.555 --> 0:22:26.395 Who thus confirmed to America that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is 0:22:26.395 --> 0:22:29.995 not dead or mutilated? Trump did that. Who tried to 0:22:29.995 --> 0:22:32.235 make it look like this guy was at a resort, 0:22:32.355 --> 0:22:36.555 passing the time chain, drinking bloody Mary's Trump did. Who 0:22:36.635 --> 0:22:41.955 has panicked over how this has turned out? Trump did? 0:22:44.195 --> 0:22:47.555 This is why Lisa Murkowski might be the most important 0:22:47.555 --> 0:22:50.235 person in this country right now, because Trump's people are 0:22:50.315 --> 0:22:54.795 experts in one thing, only making people afraid, by putting 0:22:54.875 --> 0:22:58.995 up a seemingly impregnable front, by insisting that one day 0:22:59.235 --> 0:23:02.715 rebounds by the stock market in the middle of a crash. 0:23:02.995 --> 0:23:08.035 Oh no, that's the single best day market history. By 0:23:08.075 --> 0:23:12.955 sending out Steven Miller to sound crazier and crazier, and 0:23:13.035 --> 0:23:17.075 for the sweat on his cue ball noggin to shine 0:23:17.475 --> 0:23:22.595 worse and worse under the TV lights. Never let him 0:23:22.595 --> 0:23:25.515 see his sweat, Steve. Oh sorry, I guess I should 0:23:25.515 --> 0:23:30.835 have told you that before. But inside the White House, 0:23:31.115 --> 0:23:34.275 the people who replaced the deep state suddenly have realized 0:23:34.355 --> 0:23:36.875 there's nobody left to do the things that the Trumpets 0:23:36.875 --> 0:23:40.115 are too incompetent to do, and those people have now 0:23:40.155 --> 0:23:47.715 been building a new deep state. But it is hardly 0:23:47.795 --> 0:23:54.115 all positive, because for every Lisa Murkowski over whose head 0:23:54.355 --> 0:23:57.875 not one light bulb went on, but all of the 0:23:57.955 --> 0:24:01.435 light bulbs in Times Square on New Year's Eve all 0:24:01.475 --> 0:24:08.075 went on at the same moment, Lisa's scared. It's hardly 0:24:08.115 --> 0:24:12.755 all positive because for every Lisa Murkowski, this truth is 0:24:12.795 --> 0:24:16.595 still true. Trump is not the only impaired, stupid person 0:24:16.595 --> 0:24:19.355 who has a chief power for its own sake, there 0:24:19.475 --> 0:24:25.395 is still Gavin Newsom. As I have said previously, I 0:24:25.475 --> 0:24:30.235 knew twenty years ago he was as John Madden wants 0:24:30.235 --> 0:24:33.795 dismissed a famous CBS sportscasting colleague of his. Just to 0:24:33.915 --> 0:24:43.355 hear do hell Newsom married Kimberly Gilfoyle, didn't he How 0:24:43.395 --> 0:24:46.395 stupid do you have to be to do that? Trump 0:24:46.475 --> 0:24:53.555 Junior didn't even do that? This disastrous. Gavin Interviews Satan's 0:24:53.675 --> 0:24:58.475 Minions podcast. This seems to have vanished, but not before 0:24:58.475 --> 0:25:02.315 it ended Gavin Newsom's career. I'm going to be president 0:25:02.355 --> 0:25:08.515 in twenty twenty a of my building association. But now 0:25:08.595 --> 0:25:14.035 after this, Gavin Newsom frankly should be recalled. California Democrats 0:25:14.355 --> 0:25:18.355 should start a recall petition and a recall election to 0:25:18.515 --> 0:25:23.195 remove their own Democratic governor because he's not a Democrat. 0:25:24.155 --> 0:25:27.515 He's also not a small D Democrat. He's an idiot. 0:25:28.355 --> 0:25:32.755 He thinks defending the Constitution and the people, including citizens 0:25:32.795 --> 0:25:37.235 of his own state, whom he has sworn an oath 0:25:37.315 --> 0:25:41.635 to protect. He thinks defending people from being disappeared is 0:25:41.675 --> 0:25:47.195 a political distraction, a distraction DuJour. And he said it 0:25:47.635 --> 0:25:50.635 in front of effing cameras. 0:25:53.595 --> 0:25:56.915 Yeah, it's a you know, this is the distraction of 0:25:56.955 --> 0:26:01.515 the day, the art of distraction. Don't get distracted by distractions, 0:26:01.555 --> 0:26:05.635 we say, and here we sing and zag. This is 0:26:05.675 --> 0:26:09.355 the debate they want. This is their eighty twenty issue, 0:26:09.395 --> 0:26:12.595 as they've described it. You know, those that believe in 0:26:12.595 --> 0:26:15.755 the rule of law defending it. But it's tough case 0:26:16.195 --> 0:26:18.675 because people are really are they defending MSR thirteen? Are 0:26:18.675 --> 0:26:21.155 they defending you know, someone who's out of sight out 0:26:21.155 --> 0:26:24.355 of mine in El Salvador. I mean, we're perfect sheep. 0:26:25.355 --> 0:26:27.395 So I want to answer your question. I don't know 0:26:27.435 --> 0:26:30.115 I add much value answering it. I mean, are you 0:26:30.195 --> 0:26:35.835 kidding me? When a judge adjudicates it's not a question, 0:26:36.955 --> 0:26:40.355 How in the hell are even debating that? It's Orwellian 0:26:41.035 --> 0:26:43.795 that you're debating that. And it's exactly the debate they 0:26:43.795 --> 0:26:45.835 want because they don't want this debate on the tariffs. 0:26:46.155 --> 0:26:48.035 They don't want to be accountable in the markets today. 0:26:48.235 --> 0:26:50.395 They don't want to answer for Nvidia taking a five 0:26:50.435 --> 0:26:52.035 point five billion dollar charge. 0:26:52.195 --> 0:26:52.995 They don't want to have a. 0:26:52.955 --> 0:26:55.715 Real conversation with Christine and what's going on in terms 0:26:55.755 --> 0:26:59.515 of the export uncertainty here in the valley. They want 0:26:59.515 --> 0:27:04.875 to have this conversation. Don't get distracted by distractions. We're 0:27:04.915 --> 0:27:08.235 all perfect sheep. Thank you guys very much. 0:27:09.195 --> 0:27:19.995 Fraud great, flaming, bone headed, power hungry, stupid Gavin fraud Newsom. Resign, 0:27:20.075 --> 0:27:24.795 mister Newsom, save us the trouble. Flee California, go to 0:27:25.875 --> 0:27:28.995 I don't care where you go, but do stop off 0:27:29.035 --> 0:27:32.275 in Michigan and pick up Gretchen Whitmer. Tell her no, 0:27:32.475 --> 0:27:35.115 she was right. If she puts a folder in front 0:27:35.115 --> 0:27:37.155 of her face at the White House and she can't 0:27:37.195 --> 0:27:41.075 see anybody, nobody can see her selling out her state, 0:27:41.395 --> 0:27:45.155 selling out her party, selling out her nation. Why don't 0:27:45.155 --> 0:27:49.235 you both resign and take a vacation, a nice trip, 0:27:49.635 --> 0:27:54.515 some nice warm place like to El Salvador. Maybe go 0:27:54.595 --> 0:27:58.315 have some Bloody Mary's with Bukela. Ask him how he 0:27:58.515 --> 0:28:04.315 draws his hair on. Oh, and before you go, identify 0:28:04.435 --> 0:28:08.355 and out whoever the House Democrat was who provided these 0:28:08.395 --> 0:28:14.715 next quotes to Axios. These House Democrats are specifically identified 0:28:14.795 --> 0:28:18.755 as Congressional Democrats. So the top suspects for this kind 0:28:18.795 --> 0:28:22.155 of quote, which would be Schumer and Fetterman and Newsome, 0:28:22.275 --> 0:28:25.155 they're out. It's none of them. I want to know 0:28:25.195 --> 0:28:28.155 who this is, and I want him or her primaried, 0:28:29.315 --> 0:28:33.555 because we don't put people in public stocks anymore. I 0:28:33.555 --> 0:28:37.995 don't care if this person changes parties and joins the 0:28:37.995 --> 0:28:43.595 Congressional Republican Caucus because he's a Republican anyway. And by 0:28:43.635 --> 0:28:46.995 the way, hell is coming for Republicans as it is. 0:28:49.475 --> 0:28:53.075 Here's the quote from Axios Reality Check. The sentiment within 0:28:53.155 --> 0:28:58.075 the Democratic Party about rallying behind deportees. They're not deportees, 0:28:58.115 --> 0:29:03.315 they're kidnapped victims. It's human trafficking. Deportation is a legal process. 0:29:04.075 --> 0:29:08.315 The sentiment, but then the party about rallying behind victims 0:29:08.995 --> 0:29:13.195 is not universal. The second House Democrat, who spoke anonymously, 0:29:13.475 --> 0:29:19.315 a centrist. Centrist is political ease for asshole. A centrist 0:29:19.555 --> 0:29:25.235 called the deportation issue a soup DuJour. Huh sounds kind 0:29:25.235 --> 0:29:28.715 of like what Gavin Newsom said, arguing Trump is setting 0:29:28.755 --> 0:29:31.475 a trap for the Democrats, and like usual, we're falling 0:29:31.515 --> 0:29:36.835 for it. Rather than talking about the tariff policy and 0:29:36.875 --> 0:29:42.115 the economy, the thing where his numbers are tanking, We're 0:29:42.195 --> 0:29:47.115 going to go take the bait for one hairdresser, they said, 0:29:47.675 --> 0:29:54.715 likely referring to Andre Hernandez Romero. Who could it be. 0:29:55.675 --> 0:30:00.635 Let's start with homophobic democrats in the House, bald homophobic 0:30:00.675 --> 0:30:04.355 democrats in the House. And let's also look for somebody 0:30:04.395 --> 0:30:08.555 who doesn't realize the great truth of America in the 0:30:08.595 --> 0:30:13.555 age of the Internet and in the age of hundreds 0:30:13.555 --> 0:30:16.195 of Democrats who are nationally known one way or the other. 0:30:17.675 --> 0:30:20.155 You want to talk about the tariff policy and the economy, 0:30:20.915 --> 0:30:24.995 and the constitutional rights and the disappearing of people off 0:30:25.035 --> 0:30:26.635 the streets. We can do all of this at the 0:30:26.675 --> 0:30:41.555 same time. You effing moron, launch four podcasts, one on 0:30:41.595 --> 0:30:48.355 each topic. There is, though some hope within the Democratic Party. 0:30:49.315 --> 0:30:52.755 There are some Democrats to whom I listen rather than 0:30:52.795 --> 0:30:55.675 try to instruct, because they are smarter than I am 0:30:55.915 --> 0:31:00.315 and they know what they are doing. There is one 0:31:00.315 --> 0:31:04.035 who should be the Democratic leader in the Senate. One 0:31:04.115 --> 0:31:07.515 senator has done something very smart, or is going to 0:31:07.555 --> 0:31:10.115 do it. It's kind of in a twilight zone at 0:31:10.115 --> 0:31:17.075 the moment. He has soft pedaled this, I guess with 0:31:17.155 --> 0:31:19.515 the reason of why try to put this frontend center 0:31:19.595 --> 0:31:22.435 now and all the rest of this stuff about the 0:31:22.515 --> 0:31:26.835 Constitution is cresting right now. But this will be big 0:31:26.875 --> 0:31:28.995 when it hits. I haven't even seen a lot of 0:31:29.035 --> 0:31:32.675 coverage of this. The impeccable Scott MacFarland of CBS put 0:31:32.715 --> 0:31:35.115 it out, I haven't seen a lot of coverage of this. 0:31:36.915 --> 0:31:39.795 Who did this? Who should be the Senate majority or 0:31:39.835 --> 0:31:43.995
