Transcript

Speaker 1

Twenty four days from today, at the noon hour on January twentieth, Donald Trump will raise his hand and for the second time, he will swear the thirty five word oath that he desecrated the first time, and with it he will become again the most powerful man in the world. This is the warning. Trump distributes his power through people like Elon musk In, vivek Ramaswami, Pete Hegseth Tulsey, Gabbert Christy, nom Robert F. Kennedy. These are the loons and the

freak shows. The richest man in the world his sidekick, the nine to eleven Denier Ramaswamy, who got I think one thousand votes in the Iowa CAUCUSUS and all the rest the creature Cantina that the American people have never dreamed about, have never voted for, but have gotten because they gave Trump the press. Vvak Ramaswami is adult, a fool, an ass a, no at all, the most obnoxious person

to ever step forward on a debate stage. Here are some of the highlights when vvak Ramaswami would get hit upside the head from his turn as a presidential candidate.

Speaker 2

Do you want a leader from a different generation. Who's going to put this country first? Or do you want Dick Cheney in three inch heels?

Speaker 1

All right, miss, We've got two of them on stage, says SLAMI thank you.

Speaker 2

At first like to say, there's five inch heels and I don't wear them unless you can run in them. It is celebrated a Nazi in its ranks, the comedian in cargo pants, a man called Zelenski doing it in their own ranks. That is not democratic. I am telling you putin and president.

Speaker 1

She are salivating at the thought that someone like that could become president.

Speaker 2

They would love to accept. Well, I want to laugh at why Nikki Haley didn't answer your question, which is about looking at families in the eye. And the last debate she made fun of me for actually joining TikTok while her own daughter was actually using the app for a long time. So you might want to take care of your family first.

Speaker 1

And here's Ramaswami talking about how nine to eleven was an inside job and if you want.

Speaker 2

Somebody who's going to speak truth to power, then vote for somebody who's.

Speaker 3

Going to speak the truth to you. Why am I the only person on the stage at least who can say that January sixth now does look like it was an inside job that the government lied to us for twenty years about Saudi Araga's involvement.

Speaker 2

In nine to eleven.

Speaker 1

No vvek. It was a job done by Osama bin Laden nineteen hijackers. Mohammad Atta was the leader who was planned by Khalid Sheik Muhammad. That's what happened. Vvak Ramaswami is a fraud and he's a punk, and he just let the cat out of the bag. Now it should not be a surprise to anybody in Maga how much vvek Ramaswami distained all of them, how arrogant he truly is. This is somebody, a first generation American who was not raised with gratitude for this country, but rather contempt, and

it all spilled out. Vvk Ramaswami. Let it be known what he thinks about American culture now all over the world. Vvk. What movies do people watch? Do they watch Indian movies? Has India landed a man on the moon? Have they sent a probe to the Sun this Christmas season? No vvek. They've done none of those things, and neither have the

Chinese and neither have the Russians. Because the United States is the most technologically advanced society in the history of mankind, it's the most complex society politically in the history of mankind, and it's the freest society in the history of mankind. And yet it's become the fashion in Maga circles to put it down, put it down, put it down, and to piss all over it. What vvak Ramaswami did isn't

a scandal. The people who are screaming at him are screaming at him because they're racists, not because they disagree with VVK. The people that vvak Ramaswami is being yelled at are the people who cheered, the people who came into the Capitol and pulled down their zippers and pissed on the floors and defecated on the marble hallways. Those are the people that vvk Ramaswami stands with, and those are the people that vvak Ramaswami no doubt remembers torturing him.

I suppose in high school, when he wasn't the prom king and he wasn't the jock, maybe he was just a bitter loser who's s due his resentments for years and years and decades until this moment when he can inflict them on all of the country. Vivek Ramaswami and Elon Musk have been elected to nothing, They have been appointed to nothing, They have been confirmed to nothing. Their department is not real. It doesn't exist, It has no power,

It has no statutory authority. Do you remember when Trump cleared out the protesters with the tear gas and the badgeless thugs, and he attacked Saint John's church, Avanka's idea to hold the Bible upside down? Yes, that's what the Department of Government Efficiency is. All image, all stick, none of it real, except for what Vivek Ramaswami really believes. And the tension is that all of these Silicon Valley billionaires don't particularly get along with the Nazi wing of

the MAGA movement. You know, the people who marched at Charlottesville, the proud boys who riot in the streets. Those people are useful fools for the vvak Ramaswami's in Elon Musk's. And so it is twenty four days before the inauguration. Trump's fascistic movement is tearing itself apart, and now Elon is running them up in the US government, our defense contractor to whom no rules apply, whose mother is a celebrity in China who says he's for a free speech

while censoring everybody who criticizes him on his class. Elon Musk is not on your side. He's on his, and so is vvak Ramaswami. And when they talk, they let you know by absolute accident what it is they really think. In Vvek just told you. He thinks you are lazy, he thinks you are indolent. He thinks that this country, made up of all of the people of the world, the most powerful in world's history, is in fact the

rottenness and in fact the dumbest. But don't worry, since Vvek is the smartest, I'm sure we'll manage to get through somehow. Ahead is the season of burning, and the arsonists are gonna have names like Elon Musk and vvak Ramaswami. And when they light their match and they pour their gasoline and they commit their arson against this country. The reason it happened is because we let them. We let them do it, We let the khan men into the positions of power. We did it because we didn't listen,

or maybe we did, but now here we are. And in the end, Churchill observed, in a democracy, the people get the government they deserve. I'm not sure we deserve vivk Ramaswami, but we got them because we pick someone who thinks he's a genius and all the rest of us are going to find out the hard way than in fact, he's just a garden variety jackass in a big mouth and a know it all. In America has always produced those in abundance, and yet somehow managed to

be the most powerful nation in the world. So when you hear vvk Ramaswami speak, remember this. He's a little younger than Archie Bunker, but his views they're just as constricted, just as narrow difference between him and Archie. Well, Archie had a good side Vvek. We've yet to see it, maybe because it doesn't exist. This is the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning, and I invite you to join.
