This is the warning. It is week two of the Trump presidency, and there is a lot going on everywhere in Washington. Change is afoot, desecrations are happening. Bill Owens of sixty minutes of CBS News is a tough man in a feeble time. Bill Owens is doing something exceptional. Bill Owens is a journalist, and he will not get on his knees. He will not bow, and he will not scrape. Bill Owens seems to understand something. He works
at an institution where Edward R. Morrow worked. He works at an institution when the world faced its most dire moments that told the story of what lay over the edge of the abyss. CBS News is a vital institution. And Donald's friend Larry here he is in the overlaw office with Rupert, is going to force a capitulation. He's going to take command effectively of CBS News with a purchase of paramount hand the keys to his son, a prince of the American oligarchy who is hailed as a
genius despite being born an inch from home plate. He's in the movie business, of course, and this man will soon with his son, control the network that bill Owens is defending journalism is nothing without ethics, without integrity. What bill Owens is doing is noble because he did nothing wrong and CBS did nothing wrong, and CBS News did nothing wrong. And bowing to a bully who has designs
of becoming a tyrant. No. So across the media landscape, there is all manner of corruption to point a finger at. There is all manner of things to be worried about, but understand there are things to celebrate. And Bill Owens of sixty minutes in CBS hanging tough, it's one of them. And there are people like that all over America, in all walks of life. People like that have always faced
off against people like this. Let me show you a sick, sick moment that happened yesterday in America, a desecration, but there is a presence at the desecration, a disapproving one. Let's watch Donald Trump swear in Pambondy alongside Clarence Thomas and his insurrectionist wife.
And I just want to congratulate you, a very special person. And I'd also like to thank Clarence Thomas and his incredible wife who is here someplace as she is incredible, highly respected wife.
Too.
I will say, let's stop right there. Jinny Thomas is a triple a gray, free range whack job the Beggars description. She wasn't just a member of one cult, but two. She is an insurrectionist. She has just by stepping across the line into the Oval Office, by breathing there, has desecrated it, just like Trump and just like her husband, the most corrupt Supreme Court justice and American history. He is the single biggest mistake historically of the forty first
presidency of the United States, George Herbert Walker Bush. An honorable man who appointed a dishonorable justice, a grifter, a con man. Clarence Thomas has long posed as somebody who seeks it's the comfort of the American people in his travels about the country in a coach motor home, where he delights sleeping in the parking lots of Walmarts, nestled in the goodness of the people. The truth is Clarence Thomas flies around the world the puppet and the horror
of his billionaire masters. He goes by private jet to their yachts, to the most remote places in the world. He gets to live the fabulous life because Clarence Thomas has decided that he's above the law, just like the man he has made above the law. Let's turn to the twenty seven year old White House Press Secretary her stridency and listen to her yell a little bit about how we should appreciate the idiocies and the imbecility of our dear.
Leader President Trump as an outside of the box thinker and a visionary leader who solves problems that many others, especially in this city, claim are unsolvable.
Carolyn Levitt, Wow, doesn't she remind you of somebody bag Dad, Bob, of all of the Trump liars behind that podium. It is amazing that he keeps finding somebody with the capacity to step one rung higher on that ladder. It is extraordinary. Of course, while all of this happens, Secretary Little Marco is dismantling US foreign aid and telling foreign service officers to be patient to trust him and over at the Pentagon.
If you have any connection to any context or concept of emotional intelligence, reading this room shouldn't be very difficult. Let's look at Pete rock back and forth in the chair. Doesn't really seemed to be in command when you watch it with audio Office what's he doing there? Well, let's listen.
We've supplied munitions that were previously not supplied.
They're useful in eradicating radical enemies, and we are committed to continue.
To do so.
Every person in that room in absolute agreement that, holy sh this buffoon is the secretary of Defense, This guy, who, no doubt will be scraping off to Laura Ingram like we want all of our defense secretaries to do by the nine pm hour.
This is an outside the box thinker who understands Laura the definition of insanity, which is trying to do the same thing and hoping for a different result.
Here's the deal. In order to stop Carolyn Levitt's insanity, in order to stop pambond, these abuses of the law, in order to stop what's coming, somebody has to beat these people in an election. It's as simple as that. And so we are at the beginning, not the beginning of the end, not the end of the beginning. We are at the beginning. After ten years, Donald Trump did it. He's king of the mountain, and this time he's got a plan. And that plan is dependent on one man,
this man, Elon Musk. And Elon Musk is becoming more unpopular by the day. This South African by birth, who is granted the privileges of American citizenship, has no goddamn right, no matter how much money he has, to burn down the constitution of the United States, because in our country, no matter how stup these people are, it is the Congress that makes decisions on how we spend money, who gets it and who doesn't, And every two years we
have elections. The truth of that matter is mostly those members of Congress pick their voters as opposed to the other way around. But there is still enough agency, combined with enough opportunity for there to be changes in the majorities in the Congress until one side quit fighting, and he gave it all the way to Trump, gave it all the way to Elon Musk so he could be the star of his own reality show and share with the world the nonsense that comes through his head. Does
anybody else find this strange? Because I'm going to leave it here today as a warning.
And Tommy Tuberville a great coach. You know, his quarterback was named Mahomes. He was a great college coach. And I said, how good was He said, you don't want to know how good. He made me into a great coach's pretty good quarterback, right.
Tommy Turberville did not coach Patrick Mahomes. He didn't, just like I did not land on Omaha Beach on d Day or walk on the moon, just like Trump doesn't ride a horse to work. I don't know any other way to say it. So when you watch this, what's going on in Donald Trump's had? What imaginary conversation has taken place? Does Tommy Tarberville when he hears Trump say this, does he remember it? Also, if we had journalism in America,
someone would be able to figure it out. But since we don't, or in Washington we have Politico, I'll take a guess they're in on the imagination together. And let me tell you something. Whether it's the war in Canada, the war in Panama, the war against Denmark for Greenland, or the Great Trump Village in the Gaza Strip, his imagination is going to cause a lot of damage by the time Nightmare gets to its end.
