Speaker 1

This is the warning.

Speaker 2

Fifty six days to go until Donald Trump raises his hand for the second time and swears to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, And in that instant, the Military AIDS will transfer the nuclear launch codes to the Military aid close to Donald Trump. He will once again be the world's most powerful person. He will in many ways be above the law. He is supreme.

The checks and balances that restrain the executive in the American form of government have been nullified in large measure by the Supreme Court. They hold that Donald Trump has immunity to do as he wishes. And the great question is what is it that he will do. Let's watch Bill Haggerty, the US Senator from Tennessee. There was a moment in my lifetime, not just in America but all over the world that the US Senate was recognized as

the world's greatest deliberative body. Let's look at what the degeneracy has wrought.

Speaker 1

I don't think the American public cares. Who does the background Jackson.

Speaker 2

What the American public cares about is to see the mandate that they voted in delivered upon Stephen Miller, the political extremist who once again will hold a top White House job, will be charged with orchestrating what will be remembered as a humanitarian disaster and a human rights disaster when the government of the United States attempts to deport upwards of fifteen to twenty million people. Now, let's be clear about something. The United States is a sovereign country

with a border. What Donald Trump is talking about doing, we'll see. I suspect the American people will not like it very much. Let me show you the launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile. The Russian Federation, like the United States, has never launched one of these that have the capacity to carry nuclear weapons a top of them in combat. We did not use an ICBM in the Vietnam War, the Iraq War, and in Afghanistan. Neither did the Soviet Union.

Neither has Russia, not in Chechnya, not in Georgia. But they used it in Ukraine, and soon North Korean troops. Think about this, North Korean troops will be in combat in Europe. Claire Bolinsky of The Cosmopolitan Globalist, a superb sub stack that focuses on international affairs, posits that World

War three has already begun. History recalls the start of the Second World War as September one, nineteen thirty nine, with the commencement of the German invasion of Poland, the world that Donald Trump will become the most powerful man in fifty six days from now is simmering like it

once was. And in this dangerous hour, Donald Trump, who won the presidential election with forty nine percent of the vote, has declared a mandate for sweeping changes across the country and around the world with forty nine percent of the vote, a grant of immunity from the Supreme Court confidence that his campaign of racist antagonism, of division, of insanity, of race bating absolutely convinced that his campaign of racial antagonism,

lies insanities of all type worked perfectly. Donald Trump is going into office experienced with power, unafraid of its use and help, bent on revenge against his critics, against his enemies, against his opponents. Much of the American will be fixated on this while he smashes vital institutions at home and around the world that keep us safe. His instruments, his tools are some of the most unfit people who have ever sat together in a room anywhere, let alone in

a cabinet room. The United States Senate does have some power here. Will US senators? Will Republicans give power to Christino to be in charge of homeland security?

Speaker 1

Will the US.

Speaker 2

Senate allow a man with Christian nationalist tattoos stamped on his chest who was disqualified from National Guard service because of it during Joe Biden's inauguration to be the Secretary of Defense. He is unfit, unqualified at an epic level to run a trillion do federal agency.

Speaker 1

More than that, he is unfit at a.

Speaker 2

Moral level to safeguard the tradition, the customs, the honor of the United States military. He lacks judgment, he lacks character, and he lacks the intellect despite going to Princeton. And let me just say, for everybody watching, the IVY League produces more than its fair share of complete and total morons like Pete Hegsath, who is unfit, unfit to run a petting zoo, unfit really to do anything besides bloviate on a Fox News morning set. He can't function in society.

He went to a Republican women's event in Monterey, California and groped multiple women and then is accused of raping one. His sense of entitlement, his taking what's not his, his arrogance is a cancer that will weaken the country. Pam Bondi is the replacement for Matt Gates, who's.

Speaker 1

Now on cameo.

Speaker 2

Let's watch Matt Gates on cameo for five hundred dollars. Matt, the defenestrated extremist congressman who slept with a seventeen year old girl before being nominated to be Attorney General of the United States, is now available to send anybody you wish for five hundred dollars a congratulatory twenty first century telegram.

Speaker 3

It's your favorite former Congressman, Matt Gates. I just wanted to thank you for being a longtime patriot, for supporting President Trump through thick and thin. And I know you were bummed out with the news broke that I wouldn't be the next Attorney General. We did get a great replacement in Pambondy. She's going to do an awesome job. You have nothing to worry about.

Speaker 2

Sleeping with a seventeen year old girl is immoral. It's disgraceful, it's discuss it's illegal, it's unbecoming, it's awful. Mac Eates did it, and every one of the people around him that lecture at any moment they get someone somewhere about how they ought to live their lives, decided they were okay with it. Let's watch the journey of Mark Wayne Mullen, the clownish senator from Oklahoma denounce Macketts.

Speaker 4

You got to think about this guy. This is a guy that didn't have that. The media didn't give a time at day to after he was accused of sleeping with an underage girl. And there's a reason why no one in the conference came defended him because we had all seen the videos he was showing on the house floor that all of us had walked away. Of the girls that he had slept with. He'd brag about how he would crush ed medicine and chase it with with

an energy drink so he could go all night. This is obviously before you got married, before being for him. I think the president wants a hammer at the dog and Gates as a hammer and all these other appointments he is. He's very confident and where they're at and can deliver the administration that he's wanting.

Speaker 2

That Before moving on to Pambondi, with whom we must talk because there's a problem. Pambondi is a registered foreign lobbyist, a registered foreign agent. Not for the United Kingdom, not for Canada, not for Jamaica, No, not the Bahamas, No not France, not Germany or Ireland. But Kutter the home country, the host country of hamas the Attorney General of the United States, cannot be must not be a registered agent, for example, of the Saudi government, or the Katari government,

or the Emeraldi government. Let's talk about Tulsi Gabbert. Tulsi gabbered legitimately, no joke is a cult member. It's a yoga cult. Not making this up. The cult holds that the practice of their particular variety of yoga gives the practitioner the ability to see a truth that others cannot. And maybe that's how it is that Tulci Gabbert went from a Democratic congresswoman in Hawaii to being the stooge of Bassar Ala Sad, the Syrian murderer.

Speaker 1

And war criminal.

Speaker 2

How she became a useful idiot for the Kremlin. Vladimir Lenin talked about what a useful idiot is. It's somebody who, for whatever reason is dupable who can be manipulated to repeat in their own way and in their own form and in their own countries the things that need to be said that in that era advanced global communism advanced

the interests of the Soviet Union. Useful idiot. The job is director of National Intelligence on vapidity, and the person who holds that job should not be on Fox News repeating Kremlin talking points they generated from who knows where.

Speaker 5

Presidents Putin, Zelenski and Biden, it's time to put geopolitics aside and embrace the spirit of aloha, respect and love for the Ukrainian people by coming to an agreement that Ukraine will be a neutral country. Putin has made very clear all along that their security, in his mind, is what's at stake here. It's not strategically possible to think that Ukraine is going to beat Russia.

Speaker 2

The problem with Tolsey Gabbert is she is lost in the maze. This unfit, strange woman cannot be the director of National Intelligence because she will make the world more dangerous, our country less safe, and she will get American patriots killed.

And then, of course there is Robert F. Kennedy, who would have thought that some young person in medical school is going to get a chance to cure polio again, because somehow RFK has figured out that the enormous obesity epidemic in America is driven by the sugar drink industry, and RFK has figured out that pharmaceutical advertising is really bad for you, for me, for everybody, and that it

sustains the network news industry. He's also figured out that the pharmaceutical industry has three thousand lobbyists in Washington, DC and they spend three hundred million dollars a year, and he wants to fight them, and I think it's good.

Speaker 1

I think we should let them fight.

Speaker 2

So I would be deeply conflicted about the RFK nomination because if it goes forward, you're going to see the greatest special interest policeolitical warfare.

Speaker 1

Ever, which will help in the end a reform.

Speaker 2

Democratic party come back to life, and then the next Democratic president can appoint a Secretary of Health and Human Services and a surgeon general and all the team they need to conquer polio again in smallpox. But maybe a dent will have been made in a three hundred million dollar lobbying industry that in part was responsible for killing a million Americans during the opioid crisis. Mostly though it's

going to be terrible news, frightening news. The things that Donald Trump will say used to be the things that matter to the media. Now it will be the things he does, and what he says will be catching up to those things for the first time. And that's what's important to wrap your head around. Everything that Donald Trump has done. When the biography of Donald Trump is read, will have been but a short preface to the unwritten

chapters that are coming. The body of what Donald Trump is going to be remembered for is not the damage he has already done, which will be regarded as a nothingness compared to the changes that are coming ahead that for two years there is no ability to stop, except for in the courts of law, except for by building a coalition of fearful moderate Republicans who say, if I vote for this, I won't survive in two years, and holding the entirety of the Democratic Party together, which is

going to be harder than it seems. There is an amazing scene depicted in The Ankler by the media reporter Lachlan Cartwright that details a meeting that takes place in NBC where Mark Lazarus, the new head of what is being called BINCO, came to meet the staff and talk about what the future is at MSNBC. One of the correspondents asked a question about how will we function without the news gathering resources of NBC attached. The answer to that question is you won't. That era is over. Those

resources are gone and they will never come back. So functionally, there will be no news gathering at MSNBC, not like there has been. There will be opinions if there is an MSNBC, because here's the thing that nobody seems to comprehend except the people on the right, who are much more interested, it seems, in taking power and doing the things that are necessary to take it, including controlling and commanding all of the communication pipelines that deliver information. Those

people may wind up on MSNBC. There is no guarantee that it will remain a resistance. There's no guarantee that MSNBC will remain a progressive network none at all. The reason that comcast and this is not being reported like it should in the American media, But the reason that Comcasts sold and has put MSNBC on the market is not because MSNBC is not profitable. Quite the contrary. The reason is fear. Comcast is a one hundred and sixty four billion dollar company. MSNBC is the tip of the

end of the tail. It's three percent of the company. Would you risk three percent of your money for ninety seven percent return? Of course, would you risk ninety seven percent of your money for a three percent return? No, and neither is Comcast. And so what we are witnessing is something that's hard to orient around, which is, for the first first time since the nineteen fifties, the corporate ownership of news networks is genuinely fearful of their government

and its malice. And this is what needs to be opposed and stood up against. Running a newsroom is going to take great character and fortitude, because that is what will be required to cover this spectacular menagerie of depravity, of unfitness, incompetence, weirdness, strangeness, reditatory behavior that is at the core the living, breathing heart.

Speaker 1

Of the Trump Captain. This is the warning.
