Speaker 1: This is the warning.
Speaker 2: And let me begin today by pointing out that it
Speaker 2: takes a special type of dipshit to wear a cowboy
Speaker 2: hat backwards like Elon Musk here astonishing. He also can't
Speaker 2: handle or hold a chainsaw, just not how you hold
Speaker 2: a chainsaw. But aside from that, the visit to Seapac
Speaker 2: with a chainsaw on the stage had the intended effect.
Speaker 2: It is a story that we're talking about. I'm talking
Speaker 2: about it, you're listening to me talk about it. And
Speaker 2: so once again Donald Trump, like P. T. Barnum in
Speaker 2: the center ring with a whip in one hand and
Speaker 2: a chair in the other, has came the media alliance
Speaker 2: of the day. Jimmy Carter, the thirty ninth President of
Speaker 2: the United States, was a nuclear engineer, and he brought
Speaker 2: into the White House with him what it is that
Speaker 2: he once did what he was trained to do. He
Speaker 2: became president, but vote occasionally. He was a nuclear engineer,
Speaker 2: and he approached life as an engineer. He looked at problems,
Speaker 2: broke them apart, and tried to fix them.
Speaker 1: He was minutely focused on the details.
Speaker 2: And sometimes that's a good thing, sometimes that's a bad thing.
Speaker 2: A lot of criticism of the former president when he
Speaker 2: was president was that he micro manage too much. But
Speaker 2: if that was so, it was a function of the
Speaker 2: training that he got as a nuclear engineer, which requires precision.
Speaker 2: Ronald Reagan was an actor, and he brought those sensibilities
Speaker 2: into the White House. George Herbert walker Bush was a diplomat.
Speaker 2: He was a seasoned member of America's establishment, a congressman,
Speaker 2: an ambassador to the United Nations, an ambassador to China.
Speaker 1: He brought those skills into the White House.
Speaker 2: Donald Trump ran a reality show, and he's still running
Speaker 2: reality show. Donald Trump produces the Donald Trump Reality Show.
Speaker 2: The White House hears every day, and for some reason,
Speaker 2: the Democratic Party seems incapable of comprehending what's happening and
Speaker 2: how to respond to it. Now, Steve Bannon at Seapack,
Speaker 2: nobody should be surprised that he's going to give a
Speaker 2: Nazi salute looking for attention. He's like Nancy Banks.
Speaker 1: In that way.
Speaker 2: Look at me, look at me, look at me. These
Speaker 2: are all the look at me people at the great
Speaker 2: freak show event of the MAGA calendar season. This Seapack
Speaker 2: event is the Star Wars Creature canteena of political events.
Speaker 1: This is the biggest freak.
Speaker 2: Show on the annual MAGA calendar, and it never ever
Speaker 2: disappoints when it comes to the freakery.
Speaker 1: And so Steve.
Speaker 2: Bannon is a smart guy and a manipulative one man. Literally,
Speaker 2: he just pled guilty to participating in a con a fraudster,
Speaker 2: and so he is a fraudster, defrauding his audience, telling
Speaker 2: them something that cannot be, will not be, will not happen.
Speaker 1: Zero chance we want Trump in twenty eight.
Speaker 3: That's why they can't stand.
Speaker 2: A man like Trump comes along only once or twice
Speaker 2: in a country's history. Donald Trump will not run for
Speaker 2: a third term. He is constitutionally prohibited, and there's no
Speaker 2: way to change the constitution. He will not be the president.
Speaker 2: In five years time, whoever it will be, there will
Speaker 2: be a forty eighth president of the United States. I
Speaker 2: hope it is not JD.
Speaker 1: Vance.
Speaker 2: But Donald Trump knows that the most coverage he gets
Speaker 2: is from the most outrageous things he says.
Speaker 3: Should I run again, You tell, man, there's your controversy
Speaker 3: right there. You'll be seeing that time. You're gonna see
Speaker 3: You're gonna see that tonight, Tim on television.
Speaker 2: He throws the spaghetti against the wall, and he waits
Speaker 2: for the screaming to begin. Every day for ten years,
Speaker 2: it is Lucy and Charlie Brown and the football, over
Speaker 2: and over and over again. And so let's watch Donald
Speaker 2: Trump jerk. Everybody's chain about running again in four years.
Speaker 3: And they tell me I'm not allowed to run. I'm
Speaker 3: not sure is that true? I'm not sure.
Speaker 2: And let me just say to anybody who's going to
Speaker 2: tell me I'm wrong about this, no.
Speaker 1: Listen to me, you're wrong.
Speaker 2: He is constitutionally prohibited and and will not be running
Speaker 2: again in four years time. Donald Trump knows this, Steve
Speaker 2: Bannon knows this, Every person in the White House knows this.
Speaker 2: They use this to distract because all of the outrage,
Speaker 2: all of the smoke, all of the sound and thunder
Speaker 2: in fury amounts to nothingness. And so Trump looks big,
Speaker 2: the opposition looks incoherent. Trump gets to say I'm doing things,
Speaker 2: and his opposition looks perpetually defeated. And each day the
Speaker 2: two congressional leaders, Chuck Schumer and Hakim Jeffries, sign up
Speaker 2: for more abuse, to get their asses kicked by playing
Speaker 2: along again, day in, day out, more of the same.
Speaker 1: It is astonishing.
Speaker 2: What must be done is to focus on the things
Speaker 2: that matter most that the American people care about. The
Speaker 2: American people care about being ripped off by the richest
Speaker 2: man in the world. The American people care about the chaos,
Speaker 2: and they care about our alliances, and they know that
Speaker 2: China and Russia are countries that the United States does
Speaker 2: not want to be like, does not want to emulate,
Speaker 2: and is opposed to on the world stage because our
Speaker 2: American values require us to be opposed, because some issues
Speaker 2: come down to right and wrong. Donald Trump has had
Speaker 2: a successful first month because there has been no cost
Speaker 2: to his chaos. Nobody has been able to lay a
Speaker 2: glove on him. The only places he's been stopped are
Speaker 2: in the courts of law. There is no political strategy.
Speaker 2: Yelling Trump is not one. Screaming and becoming more extreme
Speaker 2: is not one either. The Democratic Party is the opposition
Speaker 2: to MAGA. What is it that it's opposing. Is it
Speaker 2: opposing a third term for Trump? Does that really seem
Speaker 2: to the leaders of the Democratic Party to be the
Speaker 2: most important issue on the table right now? The issue
Speaker 2: that can't happen won't happen is an impossibility because there's a.
Speaker 1: Lot of things that are happening.
Speaker 2: Prices are going up, and the world is spiraling, it's melting,
Speaker 2: and yet there is silence. Isn't it time to think
Speaker 2: about fighting back just a little bit.
