1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,160 Speaker 1: Ten days to go. It is the tenth of January. 2 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: This is the warning. Ten days from now, Donald Trump 3 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:12,479 Speaker 1: will raise his right hand, place his left on a bible, 4 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: and swear again the thirty five word oath that he 5 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: previously desecrated, becoming the first president in the Union's history 6 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: to shatter it like glass against concrete. Donald Trump would 7 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: not touch the rejection of the American people. So he 8 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 1: incited an insurrection, and his mob stormed the Capitol, and 9 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,599 Speaker 1: upon the hour of his ascension to the presidency, no 10 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: doubt he will pardon them all. But maybe not. Who knows, 11 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: because for Trump, we are upon promise breaking season. You 12 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: see the war he said he would end in twenty 13 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: four hours, Well, now it's going to take six months. 14 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 2: I hope to have six months. No, I would think. 15 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 2: I hope loved before six months. Look, Russia is losing 16 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 2: a lot of young people, and so is Ukraine. And 17 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 2: it should have never been started. That's a war that 18 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 2: should have never happened. I guarantee you if I were president, 19 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 2: that war would have never happened. 20 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: The two trillion dollars that Elon Musk was going to cut, 21 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: well now that's unrealistic. 22 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 2: Well, trying for two trillion. 23 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: I think that's like the best case outcome, but I 24 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: do think that you kind of have to have some overage. 25 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: I think if we try for two trillion, we've got 26 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 1: a good shot at getting one. Everywhere you look, it's 27 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: smoke and mirrors, literally, and it's not just Trump. Let's 28 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: look at the capitulant network ABC News, the one that 29 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: got down on Bendedney, the one forced by Disney CEO 30 00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: Bob Iger to capitulate to make a donation of fifteen 31 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: million dollars to Donald Trump's presidential library because George Stephanopholis 32 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: said something that was true that Donald Trump is adjudicated 33 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: as a rapist. According to the judge, there was no 34 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: reason to settle, and yet settle they did. The reason 35 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: is it's not a news division. It's a show business 36 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: arm of the Walt Disney Company. Here's David Muir, a 37 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: Zoolander type character with the fire jacket custom made properly 38 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: pinched during the worst natural disaster in American history. The 39 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: man who sits in the chair once occupied by Frank 40 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: Reynolds and Peter Jennings is among the greatest posers in 41 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: the country. Another version of Donald Trump Junior look at me, 42 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 1: Look at me, Look at me, which a few people 43 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: did in Greenland, where Donald Trump Junior went with Charlie 44 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: Kerr and dragged up the bottom of the barrel posing 45 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 1: with drug addicts and criminals after giving them maga hats 46 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: to fake back home. The idea that there was some 47 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: sort of grassroots uprising against Denmark clamoring to be part 48 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:23,679 Speaker 1: of the Trumpian empire, as his dreams of manifest destiny 49 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: in the twenty first century, tickle his ego and stroke 50 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 1: his id in his lonely bed at mar Alago. Milania 51 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: has been around much more. We've seen a lot of her. 52 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: Do you know why? It's because Jeff Bezos has commissioned 53 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: a forty million dollar documentary about Milania. Happy Wife, Happy life, 54 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: as the old saying goes, I guess Jeff Bezos and 55 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: Donald Trump had a bit of a chat, a tete 56 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: a tet Bezos shared with the Donald. This is what 57 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: I do to coop into the late Sanchez is here 58 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: to keep her happy? What can I do to keep 59 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: the Princess Milania smiling? For you? Donald? And so what 60 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: could you give a woman who has it all? But 61 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: a documentary about her accomplishments, which are nothing except I 62 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: suppose pulling up Jackie Kennedy's rose guarden. Ten days to 63 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: go and the retribution will begin. But of course you'd 64 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: have to be blind to realize the retribution has already begun. 65 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: The fires in California are the worst disaster in the 66 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,919 Speaker 1: history of America's largest state, and when it's all over, 67 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 1: they will be the biggest natural disaster in American history. 68 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: There are going to be recriminations of plenty. But let's 69 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: be clear. When the President of the United States is 70 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: calling the governor of the state in the earliest hours 71 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: of the crisis, governor knew use scum. He's rooting for chaos, 72 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: He's rooting for failure. What type of sick person looks 73 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: at the flames appreciates this is the seventh largest economy 74 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: in the world and that the country cannot succeed with 75 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:23,239 Speaker 1: a burning California. Country cannot thrive without its economic engine 76 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:28,799 Speaker 1: firing on all cylinders. And yet because the state voted 77 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: against him, Donald Trump doesn't see it as worthy as 78 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: an important part of America. Instead, he sees enemies, specifically 79 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: the geography that's burning. It is filled with the people 80 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: who supported his opponents, So let it burn right. Ten 81 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 1: days from now, Donald Trump will be in the White 82 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: House and sitting behind the resolute desk. Will be no 83 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: friend of California, will be no friend of the all those 84 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: forty million people that live there, will be no friend 85 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: of descent of the idea that in this country you 86 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: have a god given right of conscience to decide what 87 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: it is. You believe what it is, You will take 88 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: a stand for what it is. You will speak up 89 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: for and against and who and what it is you 90 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: will get on your knees and pray to with humility. 91 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: It seems that much of MAGA wishes to force that 92 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: decision on all the rest of us, to make us 93 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: bow down to their leader, to bow down to Trump, 94 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: to inflict punishment and threats when it doesn't happen. And 95 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 1: let's be clear, the malice is flowing like lava out 96 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 1: of a volcano. The threats, they are boiling now. The 97 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: hours are counting down. Donald Trump is about to be 98 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: convicted of a felony. Ten days from now he will 99 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: be restored to power. And people have made a life 100 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: and death decision regarding the restoration of Donald Trump. Donald 101 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: Trump is going to make the American people carry a 102 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: heavier and heavier load. Two years from now will be 103 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: the first chance to get us oaty to send a 104 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: message by a vote. I have a feeling the country 105 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: will want to say something because two years from now, 106 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: when we have an opportunity what starts in ten days, 107 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: we're going to want to put a check on. Two 108 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: years after that, we'll be standing at the exact place. 109 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: Four years from now that we are in this instant, 110 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: will we be getting ready for President advance or will 111 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: this madness have been bought to heal. A few weeks back, 112 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: VVK Ramaswami attacked America's culture and America's character. Judging by 113 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: how the media covers what's going on in this country, 114 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: one would think it's comprised of the Trump family, a 115 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: couple of his aides, any ln musk. The reality is 116 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: the United States is the most complex society and the 117 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: history of the earth. Three one hundred and forty million 118 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: people live in this country. And when you look in California, 119 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: when you look at the young men and women with 120 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: axes and shovels and hoses on their back, climbing up 121 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: mountains towards the fires to save people's homes and their 122 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: dreams and their livelihoods. Let me suggest to mister Ramaswami, 123 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: there is nothing wrong with the American character except for 124 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: the disease represented by him and his Maga brethren. This 125 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: year is off to a terrible start. It's going to 126 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: require forbearance, grit, toughness, stamina. The era of the performative 127 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: clown is ending, the age of the feckless politician ending. 128 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: What it will take to get out of this mess 129 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: is people who can think and create and lead, not 130 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: simply read off of glass screens. 131 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 2: I love to go off the teleprompet because it's so 132 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 2: much more interesting. Is this, Plus you never know what's 133 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 2: going to come out, so you say with a teleprompter, 134 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 2: you can't make a mistake. 135 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: The age of idiocy was a long time coming. Donald 136 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: Trump got to the top of the hill and has 137 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: planted his flag. He is in charge and we will 138 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: pay the price. In America, as Churchill pointed out, people 139 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: get the government they deserve and that extends beyond Donald Trump. 140 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: And one need look no further than California, the city 141 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: of Los Angeles to have an appreciation that it goes 142 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: deeper than Donald Trump. A lot of things are going 143 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: to change in America. A lot of things are going 144 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: to change in California. When that change comes, there will 145 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: be opportunity for good and for bad. This is the 146 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: constant story of America and it is the work of 147 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 1: the Warning. Follow us, join this community.
