This is The Warning
0:02
Donald Trump has been president of the United States for under 80 days
0:08
He has assaulted the rule of law, he has shattered America's alliances
0:13
and he has vandalized the American economy. The stock market is crashing, but more significantly, the dollar is plummeting
0:22
It is weakening. America has broken faith. We have broken trust with our allies
0:30
with free people all around the world. And they know that they can no longer count on
0:36
no longer trust the United States. The American people were fed a lie
0:41
They were told that we were being ripped off. Truth is, we were the chief beneficiary of the American-led system
0:48
that Donald Trump has killed in under 80 days. And make no mistake, it's gone
0:55
And it will not return because of the decadence of the American people
0:59
As a French minister pointed out, as J.V. last at the bulwark mentioned, European security cannot be left in the hands of ignorant voters from Wisconsin every four years
1:13
And so the world will be less than before for America's children
1:18
There will be less dynamism. There will be less opportunity. And there will be less safety
1:24
All of it was unnecessary. But let's watch the death sentence being delivered appropriately in English by the Canadian prime minister
1:35
The president's actions will reverberate here in Canada and across the world
1:41
Three sets, three different sets of U.S. tariffs remain in place and will continue to pose significant threats to Canadian workers and Canadian businesses
1:52
The tariffs are an economic disaster. We can start with Ronald Reagan
1:59
High tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering of fierce trade wars
2:05
The result is more and more tariffs, higher and higher trade barriers and less and less competition
2:11
So soon, because of the prices made artificially high by tariffs that subsidize inefficiency and poor management, people stop buying
2:19
Then the worst happens Markets shrink and collapse businesses and industries shut down and millions of people lose their jobs He knew but it more than Ronald Reagan All of Trump MAGA sycophants Ted Cruz and Lindsey
2:35
Graham, Majority Leader Thune, 91-year-old Chuck Grassley, Joni Ernst, they all know. Each one of
2:45
them is a founding member in the seating of Trump's malicious cabinet. Each one of them is an
2:52
ass kisser and a bootlicker who does not care about ordinary Americans, does not care about
2:59
the American people, does not care about their livelihoods, does not care about their prosperity
3:05
cares about one thing, cares about their political ambition, not principles, not ideals
3:13
And the only thing that matters to them is staying in Donald Trump's good grace
3:18
And so these people have allowed Donald Trump to steal the American dream
3:24
Let's watch what they said before. They volunteered to become Trump's hostages, his puppets
3:31
A tariff isn't paid by the exporter. China's not going to pay the tariff
3:35
The buyer is going to pay the tariff. Donald Trump has proposed a 40% tariff, which is a tax on all of you
3:42
I have never agreed with the president's tariff policy. China wins when we fight with Europe
3:48
China wins when the American consumer has higher prices because of tariffs
3:52
There's little doubt that these protectionist barriers that were put up in 1930 or 31 made the Great Depression worse
4:00
So let's not repeat that mistake. Astonishing, isn't it? Even more incredible is that as the global economy reacts, the shyster Howard Lutnick is on television saying it's a good day
4:15
It's a good thing. We're winning. Let Donald Trump run the global economy. He knows what he's doing. He's been talking about it for 35 years. You got to trust Donald Trump in the White House. That's why they put him there. Let him fix it
4:29
Remember, when Donald Trump says we're winning, the Trump spokespeople also told you this wasn't a Hitler salute
4:36
Donald Trump has weakened America more quickly, more profoundly, and more irreversibly than any president in American history
4:47
He has shamed the United States. He has betrayed the word of the United States He has conned tens of millions into believing a gospel of abject idiocy and economic illiteracy
5:03
Here are the charts, Donald Trump likes charts. And this chart means that MAGA will reach into every family, every toy at Christmas
5:12
every new television, every car, everything that Donald Trump said he would do
5:19
In the end, he will deliver the opposite. Now, in the end, the mega politicians who did this, they must be swept from office
5:29
The Democratic leaders, the Schumacrats, they must be swept from office. These people allowed in 80 days for the most powerful nation in the history of the world
5:42
to betray its alliances, to betray its values, to betray the American people
5:48
to betray common sense, to permit for people with legal status in the country to be snatched up off
5:55
of streets and sold to El Salvador, the betrayal of Ukraine, the reorientation of American foreign
6:03
policy to support the Russian position in their war of aggression, where tens of thousands of
6:09
children have been kidnapped. America stands at the edge of its 250th birthday, led by a madman
6:16
chosen by a plurality of American voters, those that bothered to show up. And now, in this hour
6:23
consequences are coming due. The accountability for this decision will land on the people that
6:31
made it. That's the American voter. The American voter has done great damage to themselves and to
6:37
their futures. And a lot of people who stood against Trump may have an inclination to shout
6:42
and scream and be angry. But all that does is help Donald Trump. Truth is, the United States
6:48
is a rich and powerful country. The United States has done a great deal of good in the world
6:53
There has been a rebellion in America against decency. There has been a rebellion against
6:59
goodness. Much of it has been stoked by cancerous right-wing media, by people like Megyn Kelly
7:07
Trust Trump. I, for one, say we give President Trump a chance
7:11
there's no way he's going to let a bunch of economic pain rain down on the country for the
7:18
next three and a half years without doing anything about it He talking about short pain for long gain Do you think Megyn Kelly is on your side Megyn Kelly is not on your side
7:31
None of these people are on your side. They're worth tens of millions of dollars
7:35
and they picked up a knife and they stabbed it right into the beating heart of America's
7:40
democracy. They've assaulted your liberty. They've assaulted your prosperity. They have assaulted
7:46
the truth. They have assaulted reality. They have assaulted the rule of law. And all through it
7:55
it has been rationalized away by the media. It has been excused away. And no matter how many
8:01
times it was said that should this man return to power, there will be catastrophe, that too
8:07
was minimized. Now it is here. We sit at the edge in the beginning of one of the great crises
8:14
in American history. A great unraveling that cannot be stopped, that has been set in motion
8:20
The next president of the United States will have one of the most difficult jobs since Lincoln
8:28
or FDR took office. And that person had best be up for the job. And next time
8:34
Brat Summer and the politics of joy and every other accumulated stupidity won't get it done
8:40
The collapse of the Democratic Party as a force connected to the American people, to America's history, to the history of the Democratic Party has been a disaster
8:50
What it has allowed is the rise of a fascist party wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross that has shattered our alliances and turned us towards Russia
9:01
It is a moral disaster and it is a national disaster. It is a humanitarian disaster
9:07
It is the great tragedy of the 21st century, and it is the work, the delusions, and the insanity of one man, plus the weakness of all those around him, will not tell him no, and will never tell him he's wrong
9:26
Look at what they've done, and they are just getting started. This is The Warning
