1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,320 Speaker 1: This is the warning. It is April to twenty fifth, 2 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 1: and the Trump administration is sinking. It's crashing, it's falling apart, 3 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: it's melting. Now. Its failure doesn't make it any less dangerous. 4 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 1: It makes it more dangerous, profoundly more dangerous. There is 5 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: no animal that is more frightening or dangerous than a 6 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: cornered one, and increasingly that is what Donald Trump is. 7 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: He is cornered by the Wall Street journal who, every 8 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,160 Speaker 1: day on its editorial pages, has chosen not to lie 9 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,520 Speaker 1: about the chaos he has brought to the American economy. 10 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: Home sales in the country have completely collapsed, all the 11 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 1: way back to the same levels in two thousand and nine. 12 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: Everywhere Donald Trump is issuing threats. He is threatening free media. 13 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: His minions like Sean Spicer are threatening independent journalists. CBS 14 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: News capitulated so they could line the pockets in a 15 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: transaction between Sherry Redstone one hundreds million dollar donors to 16 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: the cause of Donald Trump. Donald Trump is threatening Canada. 17 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is threatening Zelensky. Donald Trump is threatening the 18 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: financing company that accepts donations from the Democratic Party, trying 19 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: to shut it down, trying to investigate it. Donald Trump's 20 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: Attorney General, Pam Bondi, and a group of Christian nationalist 21 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: hipocrits little Marco Pete hegsath Or leading a task force 22 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 1: that they promised to stop the punishment of America's Christians. 23 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: It's all a lie, it's all nonsense, and it's dangerous. 24 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: We are witnessing the greatest abuses of power and the 25 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: greatest acts of corruption into two hundred and fifty year 26 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: history of the United States. And unless the American people 27 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: demanded stop, it will not. Unless the Democratic Party in Washington, 28 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: d C. Under the pathetic leadership of Chuck Schumer, demands 29 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: it stop, it will not stop. The Democratic Party needs 30 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: to make clear Trump's nominations for all confirmed positions are 31 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: over and less and until he backs off. Incredibly, it 32 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: is Steve Banning who seems to understand the danger of 33 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: Elon Musk, not Chuck Schumer. It is Steve Banning who 34 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: has demanded that Elon Musk certify in a declaration before 35 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: he's chased out of government service. What data he and 36 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: his DOGE team have collected and kept on ordinary Americans. 37 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: Elon Musk is watching you, and so is his team 38 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: of in cells. Do you like that do you think 39 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: it's appropriate, Do you care at all about liberty or freedom? 40 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: Or are you a human sheep? And if you are, 41 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: let me be the first to tell you what a 42 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: rotten American you are, because Americans are fearless people. Americans 43 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: are free people, and no free American will tolerate the 44 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: officious and despotic conduct of a wanna be tyrant from 45 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: the American White House. Ever, this weekend, the White House 46 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: Correspondence Association will gather in Washington to celebrate well themselves. 47 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: There is no group of people anywhere that are performed 48 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: outside the direct reports to Donald Trump with more incompetence 49 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: than the White House Correspondence Association going to celebrate the 50 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: First Amendment this weekend. Please. Fox News is a member 51 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: in good standing with the White House Correspondence Association. That's 52 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: all you need to know. If there was a decent 53 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 1: White House Correspondence Association and ethical journalism at the White 54 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 1: House Correspondence Association, all in any relationships to the Fox 55 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: News live machine propaganda machine would be severed. There would 56 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: be fearless journalists asking questions instead. The White House Correspondence 57 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: Association is one half of the Trump Partnership that puts 58 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: on a show every day that frightens the American people, 59 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: that scares them, and presumes that Trump and his sick 60 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: signing of these executive orders in dictator cosplay, that he 61 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: actually has the power when he does not. Donald Trump 62 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 1: has been president for almost one one hundred days. Let 63 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 1: me ask this question, how many effective questions have been 64 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: asked by a Trump spokesperson in one hundred days on CNN? 65 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: How many? Ten? And if you take Aaron Burnett out 66 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 1: of the equation one. In the end, it is the 67 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: putrefied twenty first century access journalism that lifted Trump to 68 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: the White House. In this event, this weekend in Washington 69 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: shows the hypocrisies and deeply strips bear the cynicism that 70 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: Trump thrives in. And very few Democrats and very few 71 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: members of the media seem to have any sense about 72 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: whatsoever now when it comes to Donald Trump, when it 73 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: comes to his extremist cabinet, there has never been an 74 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: example of more in common evidence and more whining, the 75 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: victimization of these people who complain at every instance that 76 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: it isn't their fault that oh, someone did this to me. 77 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: Pete Hagsath, well, poor Pete he's been living under a 78 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: conspiracy all his life. It seems everyone is out to 79 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: get them. Everyone is out to get every one of them. 80 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: Let's just listen for a sampling. 81 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 2: You know what a big surprise that a bunch of 82 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 2: a few leakers get fired and suddenly a bunch of 83 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 2: hit pieces come out from the same media that pedaled 84 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 2: the Russia hopes won't get back their Pulitzers. They got 85 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 2: Poltzers for a bunch of lies. Poltsers for a bunch 86 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 2: of lies. 87 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is picking up the phone calling Wall Street executives, 88 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: telling them what insanity is coming next. Donald Trump is 89 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 1: making billions on big coin deals in the White House 90 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: and selling them to people who will have dinner with him. 91 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: The legalized corruption is everywhere. We are living in an 92 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: ethical apocalypse. The rules have been disregarded, the law ignored. 93 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: Nobody in power in Washington cares about you about the rules, 94 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: about any of it. But the care about is the 95 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: apportionment of power between a small cabal. And while it 96 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: was corrupt and unseemly, it did not impinge at the 97 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: core level on our democracy, until, like all cancers, it 98 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: spread from a non vital place to an essential organ 99 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: in the body and now the life of the patient. 100 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: America is up in the air at stake a titanic 101 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: struggle underway, one that cannot be lost, one that cannot 102 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: be backed away from, one that cannot be run away from, 103 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: a fight about freedom between two sides, one that wants 104 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: to defend it and one that wants to take it. 105 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: Americans had best wake up because as this administration fails 106 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: and Donald Trump gets weaker, the danger of his misconduct 107 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: and insanity will grow exponentially.
