Let's talk about shame and lies and propaganda and obedience and control
0:07
And about the fact, while Donald Trump is smashing the transatlantic alliance
0:13
he wants a pimp named Andrew Tate in the United States. This is the warning
0:20
The first thing to say is that Lindsey Graham has no shame. He is a contemptible figure
0:26
He came to national prominence because he traveled the world with Senator John McCain, a man who believed deeply in America's ideals and values
0:37
Let's listen to him talk about them on the floor of the United States Senate
0:43
Vladimir knew that there was no moral equivalence between the United States and Putin's Russia
0:50
I repeat, there is no moral equivalent between that butcher and thug and KGB colonel and the United States of America
0:58
the country that Ronald Reagan used to call a shining city on a hill
1:04
And to allege some kind of moral equivalence between the two is either terribly misinformed or incredibly biased
1:15
Neither, neither can be accurate in any way. Lindsey Graham professed to believe in those things also, but he sure doesn't anymore
1:25
He will say anything and do anything. Now, let's be clear about this abominable man, this man who leads a secret life, a closeted
1:35
life, who will say and do anything for power, for influence, including putting a knife through
1:43
the back of the U.S. Constitution, a knife in the back of the alliances that his friend John McCain
1:50
spent his career fighting for. The whole world saw what happened in the Oval Office. It was an ambush
1:58
a setup. It was cheap, it was low, it was petty, and it was contemptible, disgraceful
2:08
The lowest moment ever started with an attack on the president of Ukraine by the scumbag boyfriend of the anti-Semite Marjorie Taylor Greene about why Zelensky wasn't in a suit
2:27
why he wears a version of military fatigues to identify with the soldier at the front to whom he is commander-in-chief
2:37
like Winston Churchill did, including when he came to the White House wearing this, what he called a siren suit
2:45
Let's watch the crisis that is shaking the world begin with the stupidity, the venality, the disrespect of Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend
3:00
Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office and you refuse to wear a suit
3:06
Just want to see if you do own a suit. Yeah, yeah, problems. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the property in this office
3:13
I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Yes, maybe something like yours, yes
3:23
Maybe something better, I don't know. We will see. Maybe something cheaper
3:29
Nothing else need be said. It was planned, it was staged, and J.D. Vance's speech was rehearsed
3:37
The only thing they proved is their fidelity to Russia to the aims of Vladimir Putin a tyrant a murderer a thug a criminal who launched an invasion against a democratic nation killed its civilians raped its women young girls and grandmothers alike and kidnapped its children That what happened The American people know this is what
4:04
happened. Our allies in Great Britain and Canada and France and Germany and Poland, all free-minded
4:11
and right-thinking people know this is what happened. So we don't live in a world where the lie can cover the truth
4:22
because the truth can be seen plainly. Let's watch what Lindsey Graham says outside of the White House
4:32
putting his knife into the back of the leader of a nation under attack
4:38
that has, as Lindsey Graham delivers his bended knee apologia for the scumbaggery of Donald Trump
4:49
and J.D. Vance and calls it strength, Ukraine is under ballistic missile attack
4:56
Somebody asked me, am I embarrassed about Trump? I have never been more proud of the president
5:01
I was very proud of J.D. Vance standing up for our country. We want to be helpful
5:08
What I saw in the Oval Office was disrespectful, and I don't know if we can ever do business with Zalinski again
5:16
There are no words. It is as dishonest as anything that ever came out of the mouth of a Joseph Goebbels
5:26
Lindsey Graham is a despicable, despicable man, and somebody in South Carolina should run against him
5:35
Lindsey Graham doesn't care that his state is burning, and neither does Donald Trump
5:40
South Carolina voters trusted Lindsey Graham. South Carolina voters trusted Donald Trump
5:47
And now the world burns. South Carolina burns. And their senator and their president, well, they're golfing
5:54
Tulsi Gabbard is the unfit director of national intelligence. Why is the director of national intelligence telling political lies on Fox News on a Sunday morning
6:08
Let's look at the Fox News Barbie sitting there, cowed, silent. What happened in the White House after close to an hour of conversation
6:20
when President Zelensky directly challenged President Trump and Vice President Vance in front of the media and the American people
6:26
He really showed his lack of interest in any real good faith negotiations
6:32
I can tell you there were a lot of conversations that were happening through different emissaries, both for Zelensky and for President Trump, leading up to his visit there to the Oval Office
6:44
And President Zelensky's immediate escalation there was was frankly quite a surprise
6:50
This is the face of state TV. this is contemptible also. The good news is, according to the Atlantic Magazine
7:01
the second the evil old man Rupert Murdoch drops dead, and it could be any second now
7:07
the siblings of the contemptible Lackland Murdoch are going to end Fox News. This will all stop
7:15
the propaganda spewing this filth and lies into the homes of the American people. This
7:22
is why we all said, many of us at least, that Tulsi Gabbard should not be the director of
7:29
national intelligence. She cannot be trusted with the nation's secrets because she cannot
7:34
be trusted to tell the truth about anything to the American people. Let's watch her lie
7:40
like she is the bimbo host of a Russian state television show You do it Combrad Tell us how Vladimir Putin sees the world because this is a perfect recitation with a touch of a Hawaii tinged with that glassy look of conviction
8:01
that can only come from a cult member. And Tulsi Gabbard, well, before joining the Trump cult
8:07
she was in a different type of cult. For real. They're in more alignment, and they should be
8:13
with the U.S. when it comes to those freedoms and things you talk about, certainly those are not
8:17
things that you would say that Russia or Putin celebrates or bestows on his own people
8:23
That's correct. I would not make that claim. And it's clear that that's not the case
8:28
nor does President Trump. But that's not really what we're talking about here. We're talking about
8:32
many of these European countries and Zelensky himself, who claim to be standing and fighting
8:38
for the cause of freedom and democracy when we actually look at what's happening in reality in
8:43
these countries, as well as with Zelensky's government in Ukraine, is the exact opposite
8:48
You have the canceling of elections in Ukraine. You have political parties being silenced or even
8:54
criminalized or thrown in prison. You have the freedom of religion, churches being shut down
9:01
You have political opposition being silenced. You have total government control of the media
9:06
We could go down a whole laundry list of issues that are against the values of democracy and freedom
9:13
So it really begs the question, as Vice President Vance said again in Munich, it's clear that they're standing against Putin
9:19
Obviously, that's clear. But what are they actually really fighting for? And are they aligned with the values that they claim to hold in agreement with us
9:28
It's a lie. Ukraine was invaded. Putin does not want peace. And then there is this insanity. The little Eichmann himself, the Goebbels of Santa Monica, Stephen Miller. Listen to the craziness. Listen to the fervor. People say Nazi comparisons are inappropriate. Well, it's because they haven't read enough books or they're stupid
9:54
Because this is exactly the type of craziness that broke out in the Third Reich, that brought Hitler to power, that created the Reich
10:06
I don't think anybody had any idea that Zelensky would be so impertinent, so disrespectful, so insulting to the United States of America
10:16
Look, this is one of the great moments in the history of American diplomacy. The way that President Trump and J.D. Vance stood up for American interests in the world stage, the way that President Trump defended Americans after years of being fleeced and abused and taken advantage of and taken for granted, millions of American hearts swelled with overflowing pride today to watch President Trump put Zelensky in his place
10:46
Our hearts swelled. Please. The American people were mortified. The American people were embarrassed. And while ballistic missiles fell, Andrew Tate, the pimp, flew into Florida on a private jet at the invitation of the President of the United States, our gangster in chief
11:09
But the American people were not having it. So Lucy Welch, the snow reporter, began the revolt this weekend in Sugarbush, Vermont
11:20
when she triggered the protests that chased J.D. Vance off of the ski hill
11:26
No, J.D., you can't go skiing a day after you torch the Atlantic Alliance
11:32
do Putin's bidding in the Oval Office, desecrate that place, sunder the American people and betray your oath for an evil cause I think what the American people were trying to say is go f yourself All over the country the protests are rising in front of Tesla dealerships the American flag inverted off of El
11:54
Capitan. Everywhere the American people are rising up against this. Everywhere the American people
12:01
say no. Everywhere that is, of course, in Washington, where the Senate Democrats led by
12:08
Chuck Schumer, are feeble, inept, and unable to do anything because they are incoherent
12:14
they are impotent, they are poorly led, accommodationist, and clueless, except for
12:20
Chris Murphy and a few others. But they don't have the stamina and guts, apparently, to rise up and
12:26
say, what are we doing in a meeting of 45 colleagues and depose Chuck Schumer? And if they can't do
12:33
that, it will be hard to stop Trump. So the leadership of the opposition is not a Democratic
12:40
senator, and it is likely not a member of the House. Every single Democratic member of the House
12:47
over 75 years old must face a Democratic primary in this election. People must run for office
12:53
They must sweep these mega fools from their powerful purchase. The tide is rising. Even in
13:01
deep red Texas, the American people are showing up and turning out and saying no, because we know
13:09
what is right and we know what is wrong. We know what is good. And we know that Vladimir Putin is
13:14
a force for evil in this world. What happened in the Oval Office was a moment of national disgrace
13:22
It was an abomination. What happened was an act of contempt directed against freedom, liberty, courage, and sacrifice by three men and a planted accomplice
13:38
Those three men were a criminal, Donald Trump, who said he and Vladimir Putin had been through a lot together
13:47
I suppose that outweighs by any measure what the United States has gone through with Britain and France and Germany and all of the countries of Europe where our soldiers died for freedom, where they are buried forever
14:03
Unless Donald Trump sees good oceanside real estate at that cemetery overlooking Omaha Beach
14:10
Maybe we can dig them up, throw the bodies in the ocean and do a deal
14:13
We are watching a sickness. Lindsey Graham is a sickness. Tulsi Gabbard is a sickness
14:21
Stephen Miller is a sickness. Andrew Tate is a sickness. Fascism is a sickness. It is a disease
14:29
of the heart. It is a disease of the soul. And it can kill a nation. And Donald Trump is a fascist
14:36
And let there be no mistake about it. Let there be no hedging about it. What we are witnessing
14:42
as an assault and a taking, an attempt to establish control over all things by shrinking
14:50
the power and the ability to know what is happening, to see what is happening, because we are drowned
14:57
in an ocean of lies. No, what I just showed you is Orwellian. It is an assertion by the president
15:05
and his henchmen and women, that war is peace, that weakness is strength, that tyranny is liberty
15:13
that the murderer is just and the murdered is guilty. A generation told us, never again
15:22
And look what we have done. This is The Warning
