- 0:18SPEAKER_03: white Legal or impeachable Everything is make-believe in Donald Drunk Theater So
- 0:24SPEAKER_03: let's pull the curtain back We are controlling transmission if we wish to make it
- 0:29SPEAKER_03: louder
- 0:30SPEAKER_03: We will bring up the body.
- 0:31SPEAKER_03: We can change the focus to a soft blur.
- 0:33SPEAKER_03: You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas.
- 0:38SPEAKER_03: You've just crossed over into...
- 0:56SPEAKER_03: I hear it's fake news, but maybe it is, maybe it isn't.
- 1:00SPEAKER_03: I think it's fake news, okay?
- 1:01SPEAKER_03: Now, would I do that?
- 1:03SPEAKER_03: Absolutely.
- 1:04SPEAKER_03: The president of the United States has the authority to do what the president has the authority to do.
- 1:10SPEAKER_03: You will.
- 1:12SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I've declared myself as king.
- 1:14SPEAKER_03: I learned a lot from Richard Nixon.
- 1:16SPEAKER_03: When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal.
- 1:19SPEAKER_03: I could cause panic much better than even you.
- 1:21SPEAKER_03: I could do much.
- 1:22SPEAKER_03: I would make you look like a minor league player.
- 1:24SPEAKER_03: So, Professor, would you say it's time for everyone to panic?
- 1:28SPEAKER_03: Yes, I would, Kent.
- 1:29SPEAKER_03: Welcome to the resistance.
- 1:30SPEAKER_03: I promise you for the remainder of the next four years.
- 1:33SPEAKER_03: I will only speak to you in this tone of voice.
- 1:36SPEAKER_03: It's already been a month since the election.
- 1:39SPEAKER_03: Since Trump's victory half the country is excited and the other half is still at
- 1:43SPEAKER_03: home in the fetal position.
- 1:46SPEAKER_03: We appear to be in a transitional period where we are not sure about whether the
- 1:52SPEAKER_03: ground we are standing on is solid,
- 1:54SPEAKER_03: although the news media seems convinced that we are the roadrunner and the coyote,
- 2:01SPEAKER_03: and the coyote has run over the cliff,
- 2:03SPEAKER_03: and we just looked down and realized there's nothing under our feet,
- 2:06SPEAKER_03: and now we are plunging to our deaths.
- 2:22SPEAKER_03: because the news media is always very circumspect.
- 2:25SPEAKER_03: We don't know what's going to happen when Donald Trump takes over.
- 2:31SPEAKER_03: Unfortunately, we can't see into the future, but we have to be prepared for all outcomes.
- 2:36SPEAKER_03: I don't know how helpful it is to get us shitting our pants this much this early,
- 2:44SPEAKER_03: but I guess it's always important to stay on top of it.
- 2:50SPEAKER_03: A new study amongst the nation's gun owners has found that more Americans are now
- 2:54SPEAKER_03: buying firearms to defend themselves against toddlers who found their guns.
- 2:58SPEAKER_03: At Cal's Gun Range in Peoria,
- 3:00SPEAKER_03: Illinois,
- 3:00SPEAKER_03: Stephen Rosser is just one of a growing number of Americans who cite protection
- 3:04SPEAKER_03: from armed toddlers as their primary reason for owning a firearm.
- 3:08SPEAKER_03: You know, I got four young kids running around at home.
- 3:10SPEAKER_03: I got to protect myself from them.
- 3:11SPEAKER_03: Many other gun owners agreed if a child ever gets into their nightstand or unlocked
- 3:16SPEAKER_03: gun safe,
- 3:16SPEAKER_03: they just want a chance to fight back.
- 3:18SPEAKER_03: If my three year old ever picks up the gun I left on the couch, I'll be ready.
- 3:22SPEAKER_03: And with cases of armed toddlers on the rise,
- 3:24SPEAKER_03: many states like Texas are taking action just this month,
- 3:27SPEAKER_03: passing a new line in the sandbox law,
- 3:30SPEAKER_03: making it legal to shoot any toddler in the same room as a gun.
- 3:36SPEAKER_03: It's time that fascism is called fascism and Americans know exactly what they're voting for.
- 3:41SPEAKER_03: Meanwhile,
- 3:42SPEAKER_03: Joe and Mika Brzezinski Scarborough,
- 3:45SPEAKER_03: who famously warned of the growing threat of Trump's fascism,
- 3:48SPEAKER_03: had an interesting announcement to make.
- 3:50SPEAKER_00: Last Thursday,
- 3:51SPEAKER_00: we expressed our own concerns on this broadcast and even said we would appreciate
- 3:55SPEAKER_00: the opportunity to speak with the president-elect himself.
- 3:59SPEAKER_00: On Friday, we were given the opportunity to do just that.
- 4:05SPEAKER_00: Joe and I went to Mar-a-Lago to meet personally with President-elect Trump.
- 4:10SPEAKER_00: And for those asking why we would go speak to the President-elect during such
- 4:15SPEAKER_00: fraught times,
- 4:16SPEAKER_00: especially between us,
- 4:17SPEAKER_00: I guess I would ask back,
- 4:20SPEAKER_00: why wouldn't we?
- 4:23SPEAKER_03: Uh...
- 4:25SPEAKER_03: because you said he was Hitler.
- 4:26SPEAKER_03: And so I understand if you don't know how the media works day in and day out,
- 4:32SPEAKER_03: and you're just like watching this show day in and day out,
- 4:35SPEAKER_03: I understand that you'd be like,
- 4:36SPEAKER_03: wow,
- 4:36SPEAKER_03: okay,
- 4:37SPEAKER_03: man,
- 4:37SPEAKER_03: man,
- 4:38SPEAKER_03: that's sudden.
- 4:39SPEAKER_03: But for media reporters to lie,
- 4:42SPEAKER_03: to pretend that this is a shock to try to get clips,
- 4:45SPEAKER_03: for Washington Post reporters and columnists say,
- 4:49SPEAKER_03: how dare they go see him after they said he was a fascist,
- 4:53SPEAKER_03: And that's exactly what the Washington Post is doing.
- 4:55SPEAKER_03: That's exactly what the Wall Street Journal is doing.
- 4:58SPEAKER_03: That's exactly what the New York Times.
- 4:59SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 5:00SPEAKER_03: You know what you call it?
- 5:02SPEAKER_03: You call it their job.
- 5:04SPEAKER_03: And let me say this.
- 5:06SPEAKER_03: Let me say this.
- 5:09SPEAKER_03: Two things.
- 5:10SPEAKER_03: You can do two things at the same time.
- 5:12SPEAKER_03: You can say he had fascist rhetoric and still go in and talk to him.
- 5:16SPEAKER_03: You know why I do that?
- 5:18SPEAKER_03: To get the read of the man.
- 5:20SPEAKER_03: Look,
- 5:20SPEAKER_03: I understand if you watch this show every single day,
- 5:24SPEAKER_03: you dedicate time being a patron of this particular program,
- 5:29SPEAKER_03: and you're just such a stupid rube,
- 5:31SPEAKER_03: you don't understand how the media works.
- 5:33SPEAKER_03: I get it.
- 5:35SPEAKER_03: I get it,
- 5:35SPEAKER_03: says Joe Scarborough,
- 5:37SPEAKER_03: as he then shifts after insulting his audience to talk about,
- 5:41SPEAKER_03: you know why I went down there?
- 5:43SPEAKER_03: Yeah, we call out his fascist rhetoric, and then we did go down there to meet him.
- 5:48SPEAKER_03: You know why?
- 5:49SPEAKER_03: You know why I do that?
- 5:51SPEAKER_03: To get the read of the man.
- 5:53SPEAKER_03: Did you get your read on the man, Joe Scarborough?
- 5:58SPEAKER_03: What reading of the man did you need?
- 6:02SPEAKER_03: Joe Scarborough.
- 6:03SPEAKER_03: What did you not know about Donald Trump prior to the meeting at Mar-a-Lago that
- 6:09SPEAKER_03: you walked away having more knowledge and understanding having read the man?
- 6:14SPEAKER_03: Do you not know enough about Donald Trump?
- 6:17SPEAKER_03: I am your retribution.
- 6:18SPEAKER_03: I am your retribution.
- 6:19SPEAKER_03: I'm not gonna let this happen.
- 6:40SPEAKER_03: Detente, appeasement, I don't know what to call it.
- 6:43SPEAKER_03: You know,
- 6:43SPEAKER_03: Joe and Mickey didn't say much about it today,
- 6:45SPEAKER_03: but according to my sources,
- 6:47SPEAKER_03: they believed,
- 6:48SPEAKER_03: they credibly were concerned that they faced governmental and legal harassment with
- 6:54SPEAKER_03: this incoming administration.
- 6:56SPEAKER_03: Essentially, that they feared retribution, and that's partly why they sought out this meeting.
- 7:00SPEAKER_00: What kind of retribution are we talking about here?
- 7:02SPEAKER_03: You know, I think there's a wide spectrum.
- 7:03SPEAKER_03: And to be fair to Brzezinski and Scarborough,
- 7:05SPEAKER_03: they're not the only MSNBC hosts or the only,
- 7:08SPEAKER_03: the word journalist is complicated,
- 7:11SPEAKER_03: right?
- 7:11SPEAKER_03: Because they're more like personalities.
- 7:12SPEAKER_03: But there are a number of journalists at places like the AP and other big news
- 7:16SPEAKER_03: outlets that are concerned about retaliation in the coming months.
- 7:18SPEAKER_03: I am waiting for my man.
- 7:22SPEAKER_03: I am your retribution.
- 7:24SPEAKER_03: I am your retribution.
- 7:24SPEAKER_03: Not going to let this happen.
- 7:29SPEAKER_03: They are anticipatory.
- 7:32SPEAKER_03: Obedient.
- 7:35SPEAKER_03: I'm waiting for my man.
- 7:39SPEAKER_03: I am your retribution.
- 7:40SPEAKER_03: I am your retribution.
- 7:41SPEAKER_03: Not going to let this happen.
- 7:45SPEAKER_03: He comes.
- 7:46SPEAKER_03: He's all dressed in black.
- 8:00SPEAKER_02: He's never early, he's always late.
- 8:04SPEAKER_02: The best thing you learn is that you always gotta wait.
- 8:17SPEAKER_03: In 2016, I declare, I am your voice.
- 8:20SPEAKER_03: Today I am.
- 8:22SPEAKER_03: I am your warrior.
- 8:23SPEAKER_03: I am your justice.
- 8:25SPEAKER_03: And for those who have been wronged and betrayed, I am your retribution.
- 8:29SPEAKER_03: I am your retribution.
- 8:30SPEAKER_03: I'm not going to let this happen.
- 8:33SPEAKER_03: I'm not going to let it happen.
- 8:53SPEAKER_03: CBS News has learned that President Biden is considering issuing preemptive pardons
- 8:58SPEAKER_03: for some of President-elect Donald Trump's biggest critics.
- 9:01SPEAKER_03: Among some of the names being floated,
- 9:03SPEAKER_03: Dr.
- 9:03SPEAKER_03: Anthony Fauci,
- 9:04SPEAKER_03: he served as a top science advisor during the height of COVID-19,
- 9:08SPEAKER_03: you'll remember.
- 9:09SPEAKER_03: You've seen California Democratic Senator-elect Adam Schiff,
- 9:11SPEAKER_03: he led the first impeachment effort against Trump.
- 9:14SPEAKER_03: And Congresswoman Liz Cheney,
- 9:15SPEAKER_03: who was part of the House committee that investigated the January 6th attack on the Capitol.
- 9:22SPEAKER_02: I am your retribution.
- 9:26SPEAKER_02: I am your retribution.
- 9:30SPEAKER_02: Not going to let this happen.
- 9:45SPEAKER_01: White House officials involved in these discussions say that they are concerned
- 9:50SPEAKER_01: about possible retribution by Donald Trump and those around him when he takes office,
- 9:55SPEAKER_01: because Trump himself,
- 9:56SPEAKER_01: when he was on the campaign trail,
- 9:58SPEAKER_01: said that he would be the retribution for people who had been wrong.
- 10:03SPEAKER_01: he's been choosing like cash patel to lead the fbi have also said that they want to
- 10:09SPEAKER_01: use the justice system to go after trump's foes and so that has led white house
- 10:14SPEAKER_01: officials were told to discuss names with one another we're told that names of
- 10:19SPEAKER_01: individuals have not necessarily been discussed specifically with president biden
- 10:25SPEAKER_01: but they have debated whether this would be a good idea with him
- 10:30SPEAKER_02: good I feel oh so fine into tomorrow but that's just another time
- 11:39SPEAKER_03: You got a preview of what the president-elect plans to do in his second first 100 days in office.
- 11:45SPEAKER_03: In an interview this weekend on Meet the Press,
- 11:47SPEAKER_03: host Kristen Welker asked him about pardons for insurrectionists.
- 11:51SPEAKER_03: You promised to pardon those who attacked the Capitol on January 6th.
- 11:56SPEAKER_03: Are you still vowing to follow through with that promise?
- 11:59SPEAKER_03: We're looking at it right now, most likely.
- 12:01SPEAKER_03: I'm going to look at everything.
- 12:02SPEAKER_03: We're going to look at individual cases, yeah.
- 12:06SPEAKER_03: But Trump doesn't just want to pardon criminals who attacked our government.
- 12:09SPEAKER_03: He also wants to arrest the people who investigated the crime.
- 12:13SPEAKER_03: Because here's what he said about the January 6th committee.
- 12:15SPEAKER_03: Changing to something that's inexcusable,
- 12:18SPEAKER_03: along with Thompson and the people on the unselect committee of political thugs and,
- 12:22SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 12:23SPEAKER_03: creeps.
- 12:23SPEAKER_03: I think those people committed a major crime.
- 12:25SPEAKER_03: For what they did, honestly, they should go to jail.
- 12:29SPEAKER_03: Nothing to see here, folks.
- 12:30SPEAKER_03: He just wants to jail his political opponents.
- 12:33SPEAKER_03: Since the election,
- 12:33SPEAKER_03: President-elect Donald Trump says he would like to see members of the January 6th
- 12:37SPEAKER_03: committee sent to jail.
- 12:38SPEAKER_03: Honestly, they should go to jail.
- 12:40SPEAKER_03: Or not.
- 12:43SPEAKER_03: That is, of course, the incoming United States president, Donald Trump.
- 12:49SPEAKER_03: who this weekend was in Europe,
- 12:51SPEAKER_03: continuing the long American tradition of not waiting for the inauguration to
- 12:55SPEAKER_03: become president and head overseas and meet with allies and remind everybody how
- 13:00SPEAKER_03: weird he is about shaking hands.
- 13:03SPEAKER_03: Top down, up down, bottom, side to side, grab it, hit me on the flippity.
- 13:08SPEAKER_03: And how seamlessly Trump resumed his official duties of looking bored as shit in meetings.
- 13:14SPEAKER_03: This is so dumb.
- 13:20SPEAKER_03: Now, normally the first lady, Melania, would have been there to say to Donald, sit up.
- 13:26SPEAKER_03: But another stroke of weirdness,
- 13:27SPEAKER_03: Trump was apparently traveling with his predecessor's wife,
- 13:31SPEAKER_03: attending the opening of the Notre Dame Cathedral with Jill Biden.
- 13:36SPEAKER_03: It was a rare moment of conciliation,
- 13:38SPEAKER_03: one that would have given this country hope had it not immediately been undermined
- 13:42SPEAKER_03: by the returning president releasing an actual cologne ad belittling and
- 13:49SPEAKER_03: sexualizing said moment.
- 13:51SPEAKER_01: The caption there saying a fragrance your enemies can't resist.
- 13:55SPEAKER_01: The men's cologne and women's perfume are both selling for $199.
- 14:01SPEAKER_03: You won.
- 14:03SPEAKER_03: You won.
- 14:05SPEAKER_03: You don't have to push merch anymore.
- 14:10SPEAKER_03: I find it hard to believe I'm saying this, but it's beneath you.
- 14:15SPEAKER_03: He used a photo taken inside Notre Dame Cathedral to promote his cologne.
- 14:20SPEAKER_03: Say what you will about Donald Trump.
- 14:21SPEAKER_03: He's the only president in history who's done that.
- 14:23SPEAKER_03: I've seen you interview other people like Biden.
- 14:28SPEAKER_03: I've never interviewed President Biden.
- 14:30SPEAKER_03: When I say you, I'm talking metaphorically.
- 14:32SPEAKER_03: Oh, okay.
- 14:33SPEAKER_03: Oh, metaphorically.
- 14:33SPEAKER_03: He meant metaphorically.
- 14:36SPEAKER_03: Five seconds after saying if he got caught lying, he'd stand up and say, you got me.
- 14:40SPEAKER_03: He lies again.
- 14:41SPEAKER_03: She asked Trump about his inauguration speech.
- 14:44SPEAKER_03: He said the speech will focus on unity.
- 14:47SPEAKER_03: He's against it.
- 14:48SPEAKER_03: Trump also said he isn't going to seek retribution against people like Liz Cheney
- 14:53SPEAKER_03: and Adam Schiff,
- 14:55SPEAKER_03: but that they should go to jail.
- 14:56SPEAKER_02: I beg your pardon.
- 14:59SPEAKER_03: And he also weighed in against the idea of babies who were born in the United
- 15:02SPEAKER_03: States getting what is called birthright citizenship.
- 15:06SPEAKER_03: You promised to end birthright citizenship on day one.
- 15:09SPEAKER_03: Is that still your plan?
- 15:10SPEAKER_03: Yeah, absolutely.
- 15:12SPEAKER_03: The 14th Amendment, though, says that, quote, all persons born in the United States are citizens.
- 15:17SPEAKER_03: Can you get around the 14th Amendment with an executive action?
- 15:19SPEAKER_03: Well, we're going to have to get a change.
- 15:20SPEAKER_03: We'll maybe have to go back to the people.
- 15:22SPEAKER_03: But we have to end it.
- 15:23SPEAKER_03: We're the only country that has it.
- 15:24SPEAKER_03: Through an executive action?
- 15:25SPEAKER_03: You know, we're the only country that has it.
- 15:27SPEAKER_03: Not even close to true.
- 15:30SPEAKER_03: He says that over and over again.
- 15:32SPEAKER_03: He says we're the only nation that has it.
- 15:34SPEAKER_03: There are actually three dozen countries besides ours that have it.
- 15:37SPEAKER_03: You said during the campaign you had concepts of a plan.
- 15:40SPEAKER_03: Do you have an actual plan at this point for health care?
- 15:43SPEAKER_03: Yes, we have concepts of a plan that would be better.
- 15:47SPEAKER_03: Still just concepts?
- 15:48SPEAKER_03: Do you have a fully developed plan?
- 15:49SPEAKER_03: Let me explain.
- 15:50SPEAKER_03: Obamacare stinks.
- 15:52SPEAKER_03: It's lousy.
- 15:53SPEAKER_03: There are better answers.
- 15:55SPEAKER_03: If we come up with a better answer, I would present that answer to Democrats and to everybody else.
- 16:00SPEAKER_03: When will we see your fully developed plan?
- 16:02SPEAKER_03: When are you going to show the public that?
- 16:03SPEAKER_03: Well, I don't know that you'll see it at all.
- 16:08SPEAKER_03: Because it's invisible, only the smartest people can see it.
- 16:12SPEAKER_03: I am the one that saved Obamacare.
- 16:15SPEAKER_03: Obamacare, when I took it over, was a disaster.
- 16:18SPEAKER_00: And I made it workable.
- 16:19SPEAKER_03: It hasn't showed 20 million people.
- 16:21SPEAKER_03: Yeah, because of me.
- 16:24SPEAKER_03: He saved Obamacare.
- 16:26SPEAKER_03: Like that volcano saved Pompeii.
- 16:28SPEAKER_03: It's mysterious.
- 16:29SPEAKER_03: There's so many lies.
- 16:30SPEAKER_03: And this guy, he's got no facts left to give.
- 16:33SPEAKER_03: And not only did Trump save Obamacare,
- 16:36SPEAKER_03: he's single-handedly responsible for the popularity of an exciting new word called groceries.
- 16:42SPEAKER_03: Groceries.
- 16:43SPEAKER_03: It's a very simple word, groceries.
- 16:45SPEAKER_03: Like almost...
- 16:47SPEAKER_03: You know, who uses the word?
- 16:49SPEAKER_03: I started using the word, the groceries.
- 16:51SPEAKER_03: When you buy apples, when you buy bacon, when you buy eggs.
- 16:55SPEAKER_03: Oh, that's what it is.
- 16:56SPEAKER_03: I never knew it, you know?
- 16:58SPEAKER_03: Grocery, oh yeah.
- 17:00SPEAKER_03: Before President Piggly J. Wiggly, no one had ever heard that word before.
- 17:19SPEAKER_03: Donald Trump was asked to reassure worried Americans that his policies would not
- 17:23SPEAKER_03: make things worse and said,
- 17:24SPEAKER_03: and this is an exact quote,
- 17:26SPEAKER_03: I can't guarantee anything.
- 17:28SPEAKER_03: I can't guarantee tomorrow.
- 17:29SPEAKER_03: Can't guarantee tomorrow.
- 17:31SPEAKER_03: When Trump said make America great again, was he only talking about until the close of business hours?
- 17:37SPEAKER_03: Trump insisted during the campaign that despite the warnings of economists and
- 17:41SPEAKER_03: common sense,
- 17:41SPEAKER_03: his tariffs would not make prices go up.
- 17:45SPEAKER_03: He promised they'd actually go down.
- 17:47SPEAKER_03: We've got to get those costs down, and I'm going to get them down.
- 17:53SPEAKER_03: We're gonna bring those costs way down.
- 17:58SPEAKER_03: When I win, I will immediately bring prices down starting on day one.
- 18:06SPEAKER_03: Do you believe Americans can afford higher prices because of tariffs?
- 18:09SPEAKER_03: They're not gonna have higher prices.
- 18:15SPEAKER_03: We have to get the prices down where bacon is up.
- 18:19SPEAKER_03: Oh, bacon.
- 18:20SPEAKER_03: We don't order bacon anymore.
- 18:21SPEAKER_03: It's too expensive, right?
- 18:23SPEAKER_03: But it's all up too much, so we're going to get it down.
- 18:33SPEAKER_03: We're going to take care of inflation and quickly,
- 18:36SPEAKER_03: and we're going to get those prices coming down very,
- 18:38SPEAKER_03: very substantially and very quickly.
- 18:42SPEAKER_03: If I win,
- 18:44SPEAKER_03: We will rapidly defeat inflation and I will make America affordable again.
- 18:48SPEAKER_03: We're going to make it affordable.
- 18:49SPEAKER_03: We've got to bring those costs up.
- 18:53SPEAKER_03: They call it groceries.
- 18:56SPEAKER_03: Bacon, lettuce, tomato.
- 18:58SPEAKER_03: Oh, everything is so much higher than it ever was.
- 19:01SPEAKER_03: And we're going to bring that down.
- 19:06SPEAKER_03: He was clear about very few things during his campaign, but this was one thing he never waffled on.
- 19:11SPEAKER_03: Prices would not go up if he won.
- 19:14SPEAKER_03: That is a Trump guarantee.
- 19:15SPEAKER_03: You are now proposing tariffs against the United States' three biggest trading partners.
- 19:21SPEAKER_03: Economists of all stripes say that ultimately consumers pay the price of tariffs.
- 19:27SPEAKER_03: Can you guarantee American families won't pay more?
- 19:30SPEAKER_03: I can't guarantee anything.
- 19:31SPEAKER_03: I can't guarantee tomorrow.
- 19:32SPEAKER_03: What?
- 19:34SPEAKER_03: When you were campaigning, you were guaranteeing everything.
- 19:35SPEAKER_03: Prices will come down,
- 19:36SPEAKER_03: America will be respected,
- 19:37SPEAKER_03: and now that you've won,
- 19:38SPEAKER_03: you're coming off like an inspirational Instagram post.
- 19:41SPEAKER_03: Tomorrow is not guaranteed, my friend.
- 19:44SPEAKER_03: Live to the fullest.
- 19:45SPEAKER_03: It's not a great sign when the incoming president talks like a depressed existential philosopher.
- 19:49SPEAKER_03: He sounds like a character from a French New Wave film.
- 20:15SPEAKER_03: Trump suddenly can't guarantee that his policies won't do the one thing he
- 20:18SPEAKER_03: consistently promised not to do,
- 20:20SPEAKER_03: and the one thing everyone said they would do.
- 20:23SPEAKER_03: And that's for an obvious reason.
- 20:24SPEAKER_03: Tariffs raise prices.
- 20:26SPEAKER_03: Everyone knows that.
- 20:27SPEAKER_03: If you want to argue that tariffs are necessary to curtail foreign imports of stuff
- 20:31SPEAKER_03: like cars or steel in order to boost domestic production of those things,
- 20:35SPEAKER_03: then fine.
- 20:36SPEAKER_03: But you can't argue they magically lower prices when they do the opposite.
- 20:39SPEAKER_03: Why the hell am I explaining this?
- 20:40SPEAKER_03: No one cares.
- 20:43SPEAKER_03: I guess Trump can't guarantee that prices won't go up because he's too busy working
- 20:46SPEAKER_03: on his plan to deport American citizens.
- 20:48SPEAKER_03: Although,
- 20:49SPEAKER_03: watch him explain how this plan would work as it slowly dawns on him in real time
- 20:55SPEAKER_03: that it would be an absolute disaster.
- 20:57SPEAKER_03: Let me ask you about another group of people,
- 20:59SPEAKER_03: the estimated 4 million families in America who have mixed immigration status.
- 21:03SPEAKER_03: So I'm talking about parents who might be here illegally, but the kids are here legally.
- 21:08SPEAKER_03: Your borders are... You're talking about separation?
- 21:10SPEAKER_03: Well, I mean, there are two aspects to this.
- 21:13SPEAKER_03: Your border czar Tom Homan said they can be deported together.
- 21:16SPEAKER_03: Is that the plan?
- 21:18SPEAKER_03: Well, I don't want to be breaking up families.
- 21:21SPEAKER_03: So the only way you don't break up the family is you keep them together and you
- 21:24SPEAKER_03: have to send them all back.
- 21:25SPEAKER_03: Even kids who are here legally?
- 21:28SPEAKER_03: Well, what you're going to do if they want to stay with the father?
- 21:30SPEAKER_03: Look, we have to have rules and regulations.
- 21:32SPEAKER_03: You can always find something out like, you know, this doesn't work, that doesn't work.
- 21:36SPEAKER_03: I'll tell you what's going to be horrible.
- 21:38SPEAKER_03: When we take a wonderful young woman who's with a criminal,
- 21:44SPEAKER_03: and they show the woman,
- 21:46SPEAKER_03: and she could stay by the law,
- 21:48SPEAKER_03: but they show the woman being taken out,
- 21:51SPEAKER_03: or they want her out,
- 21:53SPEAKER_03: and your cameras are focused on her as she's crying,
- 21:56SPEAKER_03: as she's being taken out of our country,
- 21:58SPEAKER_03: and then the public turns against us.
- 22:00SPEAKER_03: That's why, before we do anything, we have to deport the cameras.
- 22:05SPEAKER_03: I mean, yeah, bud, you're right.
- 22:06SPEAKER_03: It's going to be horrible.
- 22:07SPEAKER_03: Did you forget you were describing your own plan?
- 22:11SPEAKER_03: Whoever came up with that idea is going to regret it.
- 22:13SPEAKER_03: That's what stupid son of a bitch.
- 22:16SPEAKER_03: I mean,
- 22:16SPEAKER_03: it's going to be horrible when they try to deport a wonderful young person who's
- 22:19SPEAKER_03: legally allowed to stay,
- 22:20SPEAKER_03: who's struggling to get by.
- 22:21SPEAKER_03: She used to love to drive me wild, yeah.
- 22:23SPEAKER_02: But, lady, girl, you'll get your kicks from just to drive me down.
- 22:35SPEAKER_03: Obviously, Trump lied about bringing prices down.
- 22:38SPEAKER_03: His tariffs are a fake solution.
- 22:40SPEAKER_03: If he really wanted to bring prices down,
- 22:42SPEAKER_03: he could choose instead to tackle corporate profit and price gouging,
- 22:45SPEAKER_03: but his cabinet will have more billionaires than any administration in history.
- 22:48SPEAKER_03: Trump doesn't really care about the challenges working people face.
- 22:52SPEAKER_03: He only cares about tariffs and deportations.
