1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,760 Speaker 1: This is the warning. The Secretary of Transportation is a 2 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,640 Speaker 1: real world cast member. Can you certainly wouldn't have been 3 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: able to tell from Reagan National Airport. 4 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:17,640 Speaker 2: Obviously it is not standard to have aircraft colliding. I 5 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:18,480 Speaker 2: want to be clear on that. 6 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,439 Speaker 1: Now over at the White House, let's listen to a question, 7 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: and then I want to do an exercise. But first 8 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: the question on DEI and the claims that you've made. 9 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: Are you saying this crash was somehow caused and the 10 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 1: result of diversity hiring. Yes, that's what he's saying. A 11 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: plane crashed in the Potomac River coming in for a landing. 12 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: An army helicopter, a Blackhawk, flew into it. You can 13 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: see the explosion. Sixty two people died, and Donald Trump 14 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: said they were killed by DEI. He didn't know anything, 15 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: and he said it about any facts except for that 16 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: there was a tragedy, the first one involving an airplane 17 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,839 Speaker 1: going down in the United States of America since two 18 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: thousand and nine in Buffalo. Now, why is it that 19 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: the national media, the White House Press Court, cannot comprehend 20 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: English words put together into sentences. Here's what I mean. 21 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 1: Cat yarn couch, the cat plays with yarn on the couch. 22 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: Dog man ball man throws the ball for the dog. 23 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: You get what I'm trying to tell you. There's a 24 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: cat playing with yarn on a couch, and there's a 25 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: man throwing a ball for a dog. Do you need 26 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: any more information to comprehend what it is you're seeing? 27 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: Like the unseen White House Reporter, let's play it again 28 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: on DEI and the claims that you've made. Are you 29 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: saying this crash was somehow caused and the result of 30 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: diversity hiring? 31 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 2: And what evidence have you seen to support these things? 32 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: It just could have been, Yes, that is what he said, 33 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: knowing no facts, no details, Lives snuffed out in an instant, 34 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: Families waiting a mile or so away at the airport 35 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: for their loved ones who are dead in an instant, 36 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: and Donald Trump was the first to say, Hey, I 37 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: know what happened, when in fact he had no idea 38 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: what happened. He is the man who claims to know 39 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: all while knowing nothing at all. He claims to know 40 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: all things about everything, everywhere, all at once. 41 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 3: That's why I'm trying to figure out how you can 42 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 3: come to the conclusion right now, the diversity had something 43 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 3: to do. 44 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 2: With this crash because I have common sense, okay, and 45 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 2: unfortunately a lot of people don't. 46 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: How did you react when you heard the news about 47 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: an American Airlines flight going down coming in for landing 48 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: at Reagan National Airport? Did it make you feel sick? 49 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: Made me feel sick? Not Donald Trump do and not 50 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: the White House staff. What they thought is, how can 51 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 1: we take advantage of this? There is burning wreckage on 52 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: the river, and Donald Trump is thinking, what can I 53 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: get out of this? How can I use it? The 54 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: death and the misery and the suffering is a prop 55 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: in my sick game. And so Donald Trump reacted with this. 56 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 3: The FAA, which is overseen by Secretary Pete Buddhachek. 57 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 2: A real winner. That's the guy's a real winner. You 58 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 2: know badly. 59 00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 3: Everything's run since he's run this Department of Transportation a disaster. 60 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 3: He was a disaster as a mayor. He ran his 61 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 3: city into the ground, and he's a disaster now. He's 62 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 3: just got a good line of bullshit and this. 63 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 2: You know, you're talking about extremely complex things. And if 64 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 2: they don't have a great brain, a great power of 65 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 2: the brain, then I got to be very good at 66 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 2: what they do, and bad things will happen. 67 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 1: What Donald Trump is saying is there was a black 68 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: guy somewhere around, or maybe worse, a black woman or 69 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: a hispanic even somebody, some minority. They did it. They 70 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: killed those people. We are in dangerous hours, my friends. 71 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: There is no issue, nothing that the man won't politicize 72 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: for a bit more power in that instant. When there 73 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: is a plane crash, the situation room at the White 74 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: House fills, the Department of Transportation, experts and specialists get busy. 75 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 1: But two weeks in, what Donald Trump has done is fire. 76 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: The head of the FAA talked about moving planes around 77 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: like a chessboard, said something completely wrong. 78 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 2: This is a major chess game at the highest level. 79 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 2: When you have sixty planes coming in during a short 80 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,239 Speaker 2: period of time in the role, coming in different directions. 81 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 1: That airplanes are taking off and landing in all different 82 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: contradictory directions. Not true at an airport take off and 83 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 1: land in the same direction. Basic information. But for Donald Trump, 84 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 1: even the most basic information, it's calculus. We, in our 85 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: infinite wisdom, on the edge of the two hundred and 86 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: fiftieth year of our independence, have elected to the office 87 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: of President of the United States, the foremost imbecile amongst us. 88 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: We have made him the most powerful man in the 89 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: world and given him its most powerful bully pulpit to 90 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: spew his malice and to spew his venom and his idiocies, 91 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: and to cast blame and immunize all of his supporters 92 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: from a fundamental reality. More often than not, if they 93 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,799 Speaker 1: experience failure in their lives, it's not your fault, it's theirs, 94 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 1: Or that when an accident happens, a tragedy occurs, that 95 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: it's occurred because people in this country who didn't have 96 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: opportunities once have them now, and because they do, some 97 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: white people are dead, even though Donald Trump has no 98 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: idea who was on that plane, and it shouldn't matter. 99 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: They were human beings and they were loved by their 100 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: mothers and fathers and husbands and wives and children, moms 101 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: and dads. In this disgusting grotesquery of a president from 102 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 1: the White House cannot restrain himself from lying about it 103 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: for thirty seconds. Maga, it feels great to win, doesn't it. 104 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:10,239 Speaker 1: Let's appreciate four years is going to feel like forty 105 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: at our current pace. And yet this must be resisted 106 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: and it must be opposed, and yet everywhere the sounds 107 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: of silence. CBS News about to be controlled by one 108 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: of the richest men in the world, Larry Ellison is 109 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: getting ready to serve up sixty minutes on a silver 110 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: platter to Trump, along with many tens of millions of dollars. 111 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: As his administration now investigates NPR investigates PBS, Donald Trump 112 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: will brook no criticism and tolerate no dissent. He has 113 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: given his orders to snuff it out. The billionaires who 114 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: control the information we all receive have complied. Mostly the 115 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: news anchors have gotten in line. In what you're told 116 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: is that the dumbest questions conceivably formulated shot to a 117 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: twenty seven year old on Conflict TV or somehow a 118 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: journalism that matters to you keeps you safe and that 119 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: you should care about. What you should care about is 120 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: when an airplane any one of us could have been 121 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: on on any given day went down. President of the 122 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: United States. Instinct wasn't two I don't want that to 123 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: ever happen again during my term. No, it was how 124 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: am I going to use it against the American people? 125 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: How am I going to use it to point a 126 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: finger and say that somewhere there's a minority to blame. 127 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: That's what he did. And if that's what making America 128 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: great again means, then make America great again is what 129 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: it has always been, just a bit more clearly now 130 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: a lie. And each day the lie will become clearer. 131 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: Support for that lie will drop. The great tragedy right 132 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: now isn't the lie, and it's not the lying. It's 133 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: that when the inevitable happens and this mag of filth crashes, 134 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: there's nothing better waiting to replace it. Where are you, Chuck, 135 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: going to work today, going to offer any resistance because 136 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: none of us can hear you. None of us can 137 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 1: hear any of you. This is the warning.
