WEBVTT - Jeff Bezos Bows Down To Trump

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:05.360
<v Speaker 1>It's January sixth, twenty twenty five, and incredibly, two weeks

0:00:05.360 --> 0:00:10.240
<v Speaker 1>from today, Donald Trump will be inaugurated. Despite what he

0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:14.840
<v Speaker 1>did on this day four years ago. This is the warning.

0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:20.239
<v Speaker 1>On that day, Donald Trump incited an insurrection. He sent

0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:23.800
<v Speaker 1>a mob a hoard to the United States Capital. They

0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:27.560
<v Speaker 1>shit on the floors, they urinated on the floors, They

0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:31.920
<v Speaker 1>did millions of dollars of damage. They assaulted hundreds of

0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:35.360
<v Speaker 1>police officers. But this was no mere riot. It had

0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:39.879
<v Speaker 1>a political intent. These people were fed alive, they were

0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:44.080
<v Speaker 1>told that the election was stolen. They were manipulated by

0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:46.880
<v Speaker 1>some of the biggest media companies in the world him

0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:49.560
<v Speaker 1>by their own stupidity. They were lied to by Donald

0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:52.479
<v Speaker 1>Trump and Lindsey Graham and Josh Howley and Ted Cruz

0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:55.880
<v Speaker 1>and most of the MAGA members of Congress. They were

0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:59.400
<v Speaker 1>sent up there. And when they were the politicians who

0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:03.760
<v Speaker 1>incited that, people like Josh Holly, people like Ted Cruz,

0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:07.240
<v Speaker 1>they ran for their lives and they hid in closets.

0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:10.640
<v Speaker 1>And now a lot of these January sixth criminals are

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:13.560
<v Speaker 1>in prison, and soon Donald Trump will take office. He

0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 1>will pardon every one of them, and no doubt he

0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:21.000
<v Speaker 1>will hang presidential medals of Freedom around their neck. So

0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 1>as the sun rises this morning over Lost Vegas and

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:27.800
<v Speaker 1>the desert behind me, it is clear in America that

0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:31.120
<v Speaker 1>a new era is dawning. It is the era of

0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 1>the billionaire, but not just any billionaire. People that have

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 1>more money than any human beings have ever had the

0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:42.240
<v Speaker 1>problem with talking about how much money Elon must have

0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:46.560
<v Speaker 1>and how powerful that makes him is impossible because most

0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:50.000
<v Speaker 1>people can't conceive of what a billion is. And I'm

0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 1>going to try to help you. If I said, hey, Elon,

0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:56.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to meet you in a million seconds, we'd

0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.280
<v Speaker 1>be hanging out in twelve days. I'd much prefer to

0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:03.320
<v Speaker 1>hear from Elon Musk again in a billion seconds. That's

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 1>thirty three years from now. I'm going to explain the

0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:10.480
<v Speaker 1>difference between a billion and a trillion. Elon musk net

0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:13.880
<v Speaker 1>worth has increased from two hundred and fifty billion to

0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:17.960
<v Speaker 1>four hundred billion dollars since Trump was elected. It is

0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 1>almost certain he'll be the world's first trillionaire. And here's

0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:24.720
<v Speaker 1>the difference between a billion and a trillion. If I

0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.400
<v Speaker 1>said to Elon, I'd like to see you again in

0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:31.240
<v Speaker 1>a trillion seconds, that's thirty three thousand years from now.

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:35.280
<v Speaker 1>That's the difference between a billion and a trillion, twelve

0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:38.560
<v Speaker 1>days and thirty three years, the difference between a million

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:43.240
<v Speaker 1>and a billion. That's why this cartoon matters so much.

0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:47.040
<v Speaker 1>Bob Iger, the chairman of the Walt Disney Company, imposed

0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:52.560
<v Speaker 1>the settlement of George Stefanopholis's comment, which was entirely accurate,

0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:56.640
<v Speaker 1>that Donald Trump is an adjudicated rapist. Is a capitulation

0:02:57.040 --> 0:03:01.919
<v Speaker 1>born from world cowardice. Because for Biger, the Walt Disney

0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:05.440
<v Speaker 1>Company is more important than his country, and the same

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:09.720
<v Speaker 1>for Jeff and the Lady Bezos or Sanchez Nay Bezos.

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:14.680
<v Speaker 1>These people are worth over a hundred billion dollars, and

0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:18.480
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't have the guts and the courage to run

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:21.520
<v Speaker 1>the Washington Post. And now the best journalists from that

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:25.160
<v Speaker 1>paper are fleeing it like the first class passengers being

0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:29.360
<v Speaker 1>lowered in half filled lifeboats from Titanic. They're being rowed

0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:32.320
<v Speaker 1>over to the Atlantic, to the Wall Street Journal and

0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:37.480
<v Speaker 1>other reputable publications. The full panic, the full flea hasn't

0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:41.240
<v Speaker 1>started yet, but when it does, your everyday reporter, your

0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:45.160
<v Speaker 1>everyday editor, there will not be enough lifeboats. Just the

0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:49.360
<v Speaker 1>cold sea below, while Bezos until Lady Sanchez, some are

0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 1>in the south to France, no doubt, setting a table

0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:56.360
<v Speaker 1>for all of the Capitulan who can regale each other

0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.920
<v Speaker 1>with stories of their courage and their wisdom. This cartoon

0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:04.800
<v Speaker 1>that was killed at the Washington Posts speaks to trillion words.

0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:08.200
<v Speaker 1>The American people will not stand for this over the

0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:11.280
<v Speaker 1>long run. Let me put on the screen the vote totals.

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 1>That's it, not a lot of people. If you voted

0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:18.440
<v Speaker 1>for Kamala Harris, you do not stand alone. Though. Political

0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:21.920
<v Speaker 1>power has been stripped from all of our hands because

0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:25.159
<v Speaker 1>of the incompetence, not of Donald Trump, but of his

0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:29.520
<v Speaker 1>political opposition. Donald Trump is taking power because of the greed,

0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:34.120
<v Speaker 1>selfishness for more power, more time by Joe Biden and

0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:37.520
<v Speaker 1>his White House deaths, because of the greatest lie ever

0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:40.480
<v Speaker 1>told in the twenty first century by an American president

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:44.200
<v Speaker 1>that I'm okay for four more years. It was Biden's life,

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:48.000
<v Speaker 1>not Trump's lie, that bought back Trump to the White House.

0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:51.159
<v Speaker 1>We are fourteen days from now in front of Joe Biden,

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:54.680
<v Speaker 1>whose only legacy is Donald Trump. Trump will shock the

0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 1>world with an inaugural address that shakes the nation that frightens,

0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:03.880
<v Speaker 1>it parrifies millions. The most important thing to understand in

0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:06.680
<v Speaker 1>that moment that those of us who have opposed this

0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:10.279
<v Speaker 1>do not have to live in fear, because we are

0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Americans with rights that cannot be taken away with bluster.

0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:19.680
<v Speaker 1>But those rights require courage to be asserted. And the

0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:23.240
<v Speaker 1>courage will not be found at the top. It will

0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:26.360
<v Speaker 1>not be found amongst the billionaires. It will be found

0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.520
<v Speaker 1>where it has always been found in America, which is

0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:34.240
<v Speaker 1>among the common people, and the common regular, ordinary American

0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:38.400
<v Speaker 1>has been lied to. They have been deceived by America's

0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:44.320
<v Speaker 1>powerful elites. It's politicians, it's academics, it's business leaders who

0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:48.080
<v Speaker 1>have cooperized them. And they have rebelled, which is the

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:52.480
<v Speaker 1>American way. And they have rebelled by sending to Washington

0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:55.440
<v Speaker 1>an arsonists to burn it down. What they hope he

0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:59.359
<v Speaker 1>burns down is the corruption of the ruling class. But

0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:03.040
<v Speaker 1>they are a victims of a lie. Donald Trump is

0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:06.840
<v Speaker 1>the ruling class. Donald Trump is the greatest taker there

0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:11.159
<v Speaker 1>has ever been, a con man of unparalleled ability, a

0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:15.520
<v Speaker 1>demagogue of world class stature, who has fed to the

0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:20.200
<v Speaker 1>American people the oldest and easiest lie there is. You

0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:23.919
<v Speaker 1>can feel better about your lives by looking down on

0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:27.960
<v Speaker 1>someone else. It's an empty calorie. It provides no nourishment.

0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:32.000
<v Speaker 1>And the American people, in their righteous indignation and in

0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:35.240
<v Speaker 1>their wisdom, they will see this clearly in time and

0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:38.800
<v Speaker 1>when Trump overreaches and things fall apart, it is the

0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:42.560
<v Speaker 1>obligation of the next generation of Democrats to be ready

0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:46.320
<v Speaker 1>to seize the moment, not defend Joe Biden's legacy or

0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.640
<v Speaker 1>his broken promise or the pardon of his son. It

0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:52.919
<v Speaker 1>will be time to take that rock out of the

0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:56.600
<v Speaker 1>rucksack and throw it down the hill. Joe Biden made

0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:59.039
<v Speaker 1>his bed and forced all of us to lie in

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:03.000
<v Speaker 1>it for four long years. What happened in the election

0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:06.680
<v Speaker 1>of twenty twenty four must never happen again. My friend

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:10.320
<v Speaker 1>James Carville is wrong. This election was not about the economy.

0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:13.280
<v Speaker 1>It was about honesty. Joe Biden went out and set

0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:16.320
<v Speaker 1>a bad economy was the best that had ever been

0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:20.160
<v Speaker 1>and called it Bidenomics over and over again. The American

0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:24.000
<v Speaker 1>people tried to tell the elite of the Democratic Party

0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:28.520
<v Speaker 1>in Washington, d C. They did not want a rematch

0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:32.360
<v Speaker 1>between Biden and Trump, and they signaled all along if

0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:36.560
<v Speaker 1>the Democratic puhbas forced one on them. They would pick Trump,

0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:41.920
<v Speaker 1>and they did. They rebelled against the self interest of

0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:46.160
<v Speaker 1>the party that promised it was the morally superior and

0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:52.080
<v Speaker 1>better party. Americans hate sanctimony, they hate hypocrisy, and man,

0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:57.040
<v Speaker 1>did Theay lower the boom and punish Democrats. The American

0:07:57.080 --> 0:08:00.000
<v Speaker 1>people in an election where honesty was front and soud

0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:04.720
<v Speaker 1>chose the most prolific liar over Joe Biden on that question.

0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:08.560
<v Speaker 1>And until Democrats grapple with that and realize that and

0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:13.520
<v Speaker 1>can truly appreciate it, they are electorally doomed. The Democratic

0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Party will come back to power in America. But the

0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:20.800
<v Speaker 1>answer to trump Ism is today what it has always been,

0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:25.239
<v Speaker 1>which is that something better must be offered, and it wasn't.

0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:28.480
<v Speaker 1>And so now two weeks from today it will begin,

0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:32.760
<v Speaker 1>and here there will be no bowing. This is the warning.

0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.760
