It is Wednesday, May 21st

This is The Warning. Let's look into the future. Let's imagine today when all of this is over
0:11
When the America that is lawful, decent, and good is fully restored
0:17
When this Trump catastrophe comes to its end, and the people who did the damage and the violence and the mayhem
0:26
that we are seeing sweep across this country are appropriately reviled for their arson
0:33
reviled for their assault, held to account by the High Court of History for their coup
0:40
and for their lies about the stolen election that wasn't. These lies poisoned the links, the bonds between us all
0:50
What Donald Trump did was attack the cornerstones of America's civilization. Carolyn Levitt, Trump's most odious child of the corn, serving him in the White House
1:02
his most prolific liar in an administration filled with them, turned the news conference over to children
1:10
And you know what? There wasn't very much difference in the caliber of the questions
1:16
Here's one from a little kid asking who Trump's favorite president might be
1:21
Nora, go ahead. which is Trump's favorite president besides himself that's a good question
1:31
because it would be probably himself no I think that perhaps he would say George Washington
1:41
I know he speaks very highly of George Washington who was of course the first president of our great country
1:47
and he has his big beautiful portrait hanging in the Oval Office above the fireplace
1:53
Obviously, they teach narcissism and its meaning early these days. Leavitt, of course, responded, George Washington
2:01
George Washington is a man who could have been king, could have been dictator or emperor, but he walked away from power
2:09
became the first person in 2,000 years of history to do it. When King George III asked, what will Washington do
2:16
And he was told he'll retire to Mount Vernon. He said that would make him the greatest man of this or any age
2:23
Donald Trump is no George Washington, but he let a Nazi loose with a chainsaw
2:29
to assault the Constitution of the United States and government of the people by the people for the people That Nazi name is Elon Musk and he looks sad and forlorn despite being the richest man in the world This man has been chased out of Washington and he filled with self
2:49
He is defeated in 150 days. And though he will retain wealth that most people cannot imagine, he's not going to Mars
2:59
And in a few short years, he won't have a security clearance
3:03
He won't have space contracts. He won't have military contracts. There won't be any pieces of shit known as cyber trucks driving around on the roads
3:12
And we'll see a lot less Teslas. King Charles brought an electric car
3:16
It's Chinese made. And Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, who set forth with a maniacal glee and killed
3:24
some of the poorest children in the world through a gospel of indifference and neglect
3:29
and took who knows what data on each and every one of us from the government
3:35
And this remains unknown. There's no accountability around what he did, but there will be
3:40
Let's watch Elon Musk's self-pity. Unfortunately, what I've learned is that legacy media propaganda
3:47
is very effective at making people believe things that aren't true. What would an example of that be
3:54
That I'm a Nazi, for example. and how many legacy media publications talk shows whatever try to claim that I was a Nazi because
4:04
of some random hand gesture gesture at a rally where all I said was that my heart goes out to
4:09
you and I was talking about space travel and let's set the record straight he wasn't giving
4:14
a heartfelt hand gesture he was giving the Nazi salute and his Italian advisor identified it as
4:21
such in the moment. The Roman salute, the fascist salute is what he called it. And Elon Musk did it
4:28
three times in a state of ecstasy, of madness. He is the son of a sick man and he is the grandchild
4:36
of Canadian Nazis. He is a fascist and he is somebody who despises humanity. He's sick. And
4:45
And this notion that he will have 100 children because his sperm is more powerful than the average sperm, because he is a Superman, a god, and we are serfs, is the greatest lie of this whole era
5:00
He is a strange man and a drug-addled one who had no business being in a position of public responsibility, but was placed there by his fascist leader who's discarded him
5:12
But for Elon Musk, because of the damage he's done, it is too late to escape accountability
5:17
It will hunt him down lawfully peacefully But when the pendulum swings back in America and it will swing back Elon Musk will be held to account as will this sick woman
5:29
How ignorant and vapid can you get? Let's watch Christy Noem. So, Secretary Noem, what is habeas corpus
5:39
Well, habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country and suspend their right
5:46
Let me stop you, ma'am. Habeas corpus, excuse me, that's incorrect. President Lincoln used it
5:52
Excuse me. Habeas corpus is the legal principle that requires that the government provide a public reason for detaining and imprisoning people
6:02
If not for that protection, the government could simply arrest people, including American citizens, and hold them indefinitely for no reason
6:10
Habeas corpus is the foundational right that separates free societies like America from
6:16
police states like North Korea. As a senator from the live free or die state, this matters a lot to me and my constituents
6:23
and to all Americans. The Wall Street Journal reports that Kristi Noem has set up a polygraph chamber inside
6:31
the Department of Homeland Security. This sadistic woman is running around in the open with Corey Lewandowski, one of Donald
6:39
Trump's foremost thugs, someone who has been reported by newspapers all over the world as
6:44
being her taxpayer paid for open air power more, her homeland security boy toy. This woman is abusing
6:53
her power, abusing her office, abusing the American people. And she is ignorant, dumb as a rock
7:02
vapid as the ocean is deep. And let's be clear about something. She is unfit. She is unqualified
7:09
And man, oh man, is she ignorant. Here's the deal with America's second greatest narcissist
7:18
Look at these pictures. This is an untreated psychiatric patient who commands what would be the base of America's secret police
7:28
It is an appalling moment, and this must be brought to heel. Now, habeas corpus is not a constitutional right
7:36
It's a principle. The rights are in the amendments. And Kristi Noem seems unfamiliar with all of them
7:43
The First Amendment, the Fourth Amendment, the Fifth Amendment, the Eighth Amendment
7:47
the Fourteenth Amendment. Kristi Noem is estranged from the Constitution like this entire MAGA extremist movement is
7:56
But here's the deal. Trump liked to talk about Hannibal Lecter and he liked to tell his crowds that Hannibal Lecter was coming to America If Hannibal Lecter gets caught Hannibal Lecter gets to stand in front of a judge period And in America
8:12
in the end, if the Supreme Court says Hannibal Lecter, who's been shipped to an El Salvadoran
8:19
concentration camp, has to come back to stand in front of a judge before we send him back to the
8:25
concentration camp, then that's what happens. That's not up to Christy Noem. Habeas corpus
8:31
isn't a right. The rights contained in the Constitution are not handed down to us at
8:37
Donald Trump's whim. And no, he cannot suspend habeas corpus without an act of Congress
8:42
These people are asserting powers that they have no right to assert. They're abusing their
8:48
positions that they have no right to abuse. They have declared themselves both above the law and
8:54
the law and they are neither. And so they will sit in the hearings one day and they will testify
8:59
under oath and they will sit in depositions and they will face justice for what they've done
9:05
They raised their hand against the American flag. They raised their hand against the American people
9:11
against our traditions, for their power, for their self-interest. And they called it patriotism
9:17
Well, there was a reason that apocryphal quote is hung around so long about fascism that when it
9:23
came to America, it would be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross. And indeed, it has come
9:30
to America wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross. This moment is one of menace and danger
9:37
one of indifference, where denialism and delusion have mixed to create a fantastical danger for all
9:45
of our liberty. Kristi Noem, she's just a little bit behind Elon Musk on the curve of accountability
9:52
He's been run out of town on a rail, away from power. His project failed
9:57
But his project wasn't about cutting government. Government spending is going up under Trump
10:02
His project was about control, control over you. And he failed because you rose up and wouldn't have it
10:09
And Trump backed down, just like he has from every confrontation everywhere in the world
10:14
He is the weakest president, surrounded by the weakest, dumbest people, unqualified
10:19
doesn't begin to describe them. And we're in danger because of it
10:24
