It is Thursday, June the 5th. This is the warning
0:04
A civil war of sorts is broken out in MAGA between Elon Musk, Donald Trump's Doge chieftain
0:12
and the big guy himself, the Donald. Is Donald facing his Brutus at two, Elon
0:19
Now, many Democrats suddenly seem to be enthralled with the idea that Elon
0:26
the same guy who a couple hours after Trump was inaugurated delivered three Nazi salutes
0:33
is good again. He's not. He's wretched. And the arson which he lit is burning bright and will
0:42
for many years to come. He's a vandal who demolished the functioning of the federal
0:48
government for no reason at all. He is a nihilist. He is a welfare queen of unprecedented dimension
0:58
What he did is unforgivable. It's defined him and will define him every day for the rest of his life
1:06
Whatever it is that he's criticizing, he is a part of. Elon Musk and Donald Trump truly are
1:13
They, they are them, together, forever. What Trump does, Elon Musk is responsible for it
1:22
He's responsible for it because he financed it. He spent $338 million electing Donald Trump
1:30
Bill Ackman is responsible for it. Stephen Miller is responsible for this
2:26
And first of all, I want to thank El Salvador and their president for their partnership with the United States of America to bring our terrorists here and to incarcerate them and have consequences for the violence that they have perpetuated in our communities
2:39
I also want everybody to know if you come to our country illegally, this is one of the consequences you could face
2:44
First of all, do not come to our country illegally. You will be removed and you will be prosecuted
2:50
but know that this facility is one of the tools in our toolkit that we will use if you commit crimes against the American people
2:57
And Donald Trump is responsible for it all. America's greatest weakling, our most prolific victim, the boss of all things
3:07
except for responsibility or accountability or any sense of obligation to any purpose whatsoever beyond self-interest, beyond self-enrichment
3:18
And so Elon Musk came to Washington, D.C. with a plan, and that plan included the inflicting
3:25
of misery and treating people like insects. And he did it, and he burned a lot of it down
3:32
Did it make anybody's life better? Did it lower costs? Did it save money
3:38
It did none of those things that it was supposed to do and all of the things it promised not
3:45
to do. And that, in the essence, is what Trumpism is. A con that allows the people with the most license to take from those Americans with the least
3:59
Over and over and over again the con plays out People like Trump tell Americans of good faith and goodwill to be afraid of one another to fear one another while the MAGA chiefs pick their pockets and close their
4:14
rural hospitals and close health clinics and assert control over people's lives where they
4:21
have no business being involved, while at the same time ignoring the essential governmental
4:27
functions for which they have life and death responsibilities. It is a moment of constant
4:35
national obscenity that we see playing out. Now, Elon Musk says that the big, beautiful bill is a
4:43
monstrosity. So, you know, I was like disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly
4:52
which increases the budget deficit, not just decrease it. And I remind the work that the
4:57
Doge team is doing. I actually thought that when this big, beautiful bill came along, I mean, like
5:01
everything he's done on Doge gets wiped out in the first year. I think, I think a bill can be
5:07
can be, can be big or it can be beautiful, but I don't know if it could be both
5:13
My personal opinion. It is. It's as monstrous as Doge. It's as monstrous as the accumulation of
5:21
data on the American citizen. It is as monstrous as this masked federal agent, this federal buffoon
5:31
wearing night vision goggles on a commercial airliner while opening up the luggage rack
5:38
Everything that's happening is ordered to happen by somebody who made it happen. Donald Trump has
5:46
set the insanity loose and he couldn't have done it without Elon Musk who became his chief
5:52
agent Do you remember this Do you remember this Wow That beautiful This is a different panel than I had
6:14
Everything's computer. That's beautiful. Wow. The idea that Elon Musk, a man who did this three times
6:24
would ever be welcomed back into a Democratic Party is not a Democratic Party that a lot of us would feel welcome in at all. Elon Musk has well and
6:37
truly made his bed and he must lie in it. And that's just the simple truth. He should dig in
6:43
He should appreciate the fact that Donald Trump is his only friend. Elon and I had a great
6:49
relationship. I don't know if we will anymore. I was surprised because you were here. Everybody
6:55
in this room practically was here as we had a wonderful send-off. He said wonderful things
7:00
about me. You couldn't have nicer. He said the best thing. He's worn the hat. Trump was right
7:05
about everything. And I am right about the great, big, beautiful bill. We call it a great, big
7:11
beautiful bill. Elon Musk is all in and all gone. Elon Musk raised his hand against America
7:19
against the American flag, against the American worker, and against American patriots
7:26
Elon Musk delivered a Nazi salute three hours, three times after the inaugural of a fascist
7:34
who has abused his power every moment since he first assumed it
7:39
Elon Musk hasn't turned good. Elon Musk is a responsible party for the American crisis and catastrophe at hand
7:50
This is The Warning
