1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: This is the warning the Trump war cabinet while simultaneously 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: admitting that they sent the nation to classified war plans 3 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: during a military strike to a reporter at The Atlantic magazine, 4 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:20,799 Speaker 1: and that the Director of National Intelligence, the National Security Advisor, 5 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of State, the CIA director, 6 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 1: and the White House Chief of Staff were all on 7 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:36,559 Speaker 1: the text exchanges, and not one person had wherewithal to 8 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,880 Speaker 1: notice that one of the names was unlike the other. 9 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 1: One of them wasn't a Maga stooge. One of them 10 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: was one of the most respected journalists in the United 11 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 1: States and one of the toughest editors, a man of conviction. 12 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: So when he printed the astonishing story that made clear 13 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: that Pete hagsath on a system, there was absolutely one 14 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: hundred percent seen red penetrated by Russians, by the Chinese, 15 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: by a dozen other intelligence services at least, that the 16 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:17,119 Speaker 1: American planes were coming, putting the war plans down so 17 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: that every American pilot could have been blown out of 18 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: the sky. It's the highest level failure of operational security ever. 19 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: Remember Geraldo Rivera was thrown out of Iraq for drawing 20 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: a map about American troop positions in the sand. This 21 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: is so much worse in the end, the incompetence of 22 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:47,119 Speaker 1: the National Security Advisor and the Defense secretary. Whose fault 23 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,919 Speaker 1: is it. It's the journalist. It's a conspiracy against Donald Trump. 24 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: You see one more hate crime against the Donalds. You 25 00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: see when Pete Hegsath, the drunk the accused rapist gave 26 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: away on an open channel that was by the Chinese 27 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 1: and the Russians and a dozen other intelligence services. The times, 28 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 1: the flight plans, the weapons packages, the sorties, all of 29 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 1: the details of the attack. It was the media's fault. Now, 30 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 1: if those pilots had been shot down and killed, no 31 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: doubt Susie Wiles and the whole gang would have been 32 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: on television saying they died at glorious death for Donald Trump. 33 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: No doubt they would have said they were killed by 34 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: the American media. The entire focus of American military training 35 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: at an educational level at West Point, at Annapolis, Marine 36 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: Corps Officer candid at School, at the Infantry Officer School, 37 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: across the depth and breadth of the US military. They 38 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 1: teach accountability, They teach responsibility, They teach the difference between 39 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 1: the two. The idea that Pete hag said that none 40 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: of these people will embrace is responsibility, the idea that 41 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: they're responsible for their conduct, for their actions. There is 42 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: no word to describe the disgrace of these people. There 43 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: is no word to measure their incompetence. This would have 44 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: ended the career of a US Navy captain commanding a vessel. 45 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 1: It would have ended the career of an Air Force 46 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: general commanding an air wing. It would have ended the 47 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 1: career of a Marine general or an Army general commanding 48 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: a division. But if you're in politics and you're part 49 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: of MAGA, you can do as you please. There is 50 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: no price. It's always somebody else's fault. And so the 51 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: whole country has seen the cavalier attitude, the disrespect these 52 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: thugs have for the sons and the daughters of America's 53 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: moms and dads who they ordered into harm's way. They 54 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: are there are nothing widgets. Let's pray for victory by JD. Vans. 55 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: The explosions, the emojis, These are petulant children and immorl ones. 56 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: The Trump administration is a version of Lord of the Flies. 57 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: Everywhere we look we see unraveling. Now. The social security 58 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:29,359 Speaker 1: system is flashing red. It's nearing a collapse where for 59 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: the first time in history, benefits will be interrupted. Public 60 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: lands are under attack. The summer vacation season starts for 61 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 1: millions of American families. Enjoy the outdoors, who want to camp, 62 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: enjoy our majestic national cathedrals, Yosemite, Yellowstone, the Titons all 63 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: around us. The signs are clear those gang members from Venezuela. 64 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: Turns out, well, there was a barberer too in the mix. 65 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 1: Turns out there's a reason we have due process. Freedom 66 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: of speech is under assault, freedom of dissent is under assault. 67 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: And everywhere in America's most privileged places, in its law 68 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: firm boardrooms, in its corporate boardrooms, in the banks, the 69 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: Hollywood studios, there is a cloud, a chill descending of intimidation. 70 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:27,359 Speaker 1: People are afraid Donald Trump has succeeded in rewriting the 71 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,919 Speaker 1: playbook in America. The right to criticize the president isn't 72 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: a given anymore, comes with a cost, a consequence. He'll 73 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: be payback. You'll fill the rage and anger of Trump's 74 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: online mobs, his thugs. Did you know he's talking about 75 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 1: giving cash checks to the January sixth criminals? Do he 76 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: pardoned your tax dollars. Did you know that children got 77 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: notices this week that the clinical trials they were in 78 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: were cancer. They've been suspended. Food aid around the world, suspended, 79 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: AIDS treatment suspended. The men and women who would track 80 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 1: a loss nuclear weapon or a road one fired, just 81 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: like the air traffic controllers. Elon Musk is an entrepreneur 82 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: who the Sick Maga Congress has made an authority on 83 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: all things in America? How did we make it? Before 84 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: Elon was born in South Africa? The type of genius 85 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: that the country has relied on was the genius of 86 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: John Adams and Alexander Hamilton, of Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. 87 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: A lot of people like to look at the faults 88 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: of these men, and each had many, like all people do, 89 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: but they had a resplendent genius for human affairs, for 90 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 1: the philosophy of how men and women should govern themselves, 91 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: what the meaning of life should be, how the order 92 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: of society should be constructed. And that genius has endured 93 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: for two hundred and fifty years and made America the 94 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 1: most powerful, improsperous nation in the history of the world. 95 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: And now by the wave of the Trumpian finger, and 96 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: the devotion and zeal of sycophants and ignorant clowns. They 97 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: want to burn it all down. Hail Trump, Hail Musk. 98 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: They have to do it because of day, always day, 99 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: someone is always doing something to the Maga folks. But 100 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: there's always a lack of specifics, isn't there Well, the 101 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: most sublime experiment in human history is the United States 102 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: of America. Our government of the people, by the people 103 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: for the people, that Abraham Lincoln said shall not perish 104 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: from this earth. At the time of deep crisis, is 105 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: unwavering faith kept it together, and the threat of that 106 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: hour far exceeded the threat of Trumpet is vile clowns. 107 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: Though Trumpet is vile clowns, sit in a seat that 108 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: no one before today could have ever imagined ever could 109 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: have happened in America. But it did, and as predicted, 110 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: when it did come to America, fascism was wrapped in 111 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: a flag and carrying across And so we see Trump's 112 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: little Aikman's, these little fascists with their small crosses on 113 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: their chests. We see the immorality wrapped in the flag. 114 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: We see the incompetence asserted as the cry of a djingo. 115 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: Pete Hegsath is exactly the clown and the fool I 116 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,839 Speaker 1: said he was, that I told you he was, And 117 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: he almost just got a lot of Navy and Marine 118 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 1: Corps pilots killed. Along with Marco Rubio and Tulca Gabbert, 119 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: John Radcliffe and Susie Wiles.

Somehow, 122 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, the great genius, the great deal maker, picked 123 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: the ten stupid sons of bitches in the whole land 124 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: to be in charge of war.
