This is the warning
0:02
Donald Trump, appearing on Meet the Press, said he wasn't joking. He intends to run for a third term
0:10
He'll be 82 years old, of course, and he can't run because of the U.S. Constitution
0:16
I have had more people ask me to have a third term, which is in a way a fourth term because
0:22
the other election, the 2020 election was totally rigged. This isn't something to joke around about
0:29
this idea that the rules don't apply to Donald Trump, that because they're inconvenient for MAGA
0:37
they are to be discarded. When Trump lost an election, he invented out of whole cloth
0:43
a vast conspiracy and told the American people the freest and fairest election in world history
0:51
was compromised, that it was rigged, and there has never been any evidence
0:56
And the American media, corrupt and broken, silly really, was unable to put out the lies
1:05
unable to douse them. And so on and on it goes. And Donald Trump makes clear the Constitution has no meaning
1:13
The only president in the entire history of the country that would embrace something so
1:21
completely and patently unconstitutional is Donald Trump, because he is lawless. Let's start seeing
1:30
the things that are plainly and clearly in front of our eyes that powerful people tell us we don't
1:37
see. There will be no third term for Donald Trump. There won't be a third term because it's not
1:43
possible to change the Constitution. Three quarters of the states won't amend the Constitution
1:49
to allow the leader to reign until his, oh, I don't know, mid-90s
1:56
While J.D. Vance, our permanent vice president, seasons himself, it is all madness
2:02
The collapse of American journalism, the collapse of integrity across the board in society
2:11
is an urgent matter. But there is no totem of it that exceeds Fox News' Brett Baier
2:19
who for many years the 6 o hour was held out by Fox executives as the but Brett Baier hour meaning this is a propaganda network filled with vile people in the evening but Brett Baier is a straight news guy And of
2:37
course, that has been refuted over and over again during these recent years by Brett Baier, who is
2:46
a highly, and I mean highly paid, propagandist. Makes enough money to buy a $40 million house
2:53
close to Trump in Palm Beach, Florida. He's on Donald Trump's side, not on the side of either
3:01
his audience, the American people, or really anybody without a Mar-a-Lago Club membership
3:09
So Elon Musk is in trouble. The anti-Tesla campaigns, which I urge you to participate in
3:18
are spreading. His stock price has been decimated, and the goal must be simple, politically. The
3:26
destruction of the economic value of Elon Musk's companies by the American people, demonstrating
3:35
the power of boycott and collective economic action to crush the ambitions of the world's
3:44
richest man to rule over all of us. The bear interview was strange because Elon Musk, after all, is a strange man with difficulty
3:55
connecting to human beings. Elon Musk is a ketamine addict who's making his move trying to tear down what George Washington built, what Jefferson and Hamilton and Adams and Lafayette fought for and conceived
4:13
Let's watch Brett Baier position Elon Musk as a victim. Before Brett Baier asserts that Elon Musk
4:22
is not a Nazi, let me show you again the video of Elon Musk a few hours after Trump's inauguration
4:32
And let me put on the screen some of Elon Musk's anti-Semitic tweets. It's a Nazi salute
4:39
which makes the person giving it a Nazi. His grandparents were Canadian Nazis. This whole idea
4:47
that humanity is on the edge of the abyss because of a collapse in population birth rates is insanity It nonsense Just like Elon Musk with the chainsaw
5:01
Elon Musk may be rich, but it takes a very special type of dipshit to not know how to
5:08
put on a cowboy hat properly. Elon Musk has no idea what he's talking about
5:14
And if he'd like to make policy and have a vote in Congress, whom he routinely threatens
5:23
he's threatened the Polish foreign minister, many of our allies, has threatened to cut off
5:29
his company services to Ukraine, which would have a devastating effect. This man without boundaries, who is smashing the federal government, who has treated taxpayer
5:41
employees like insects. This man suddenly now is made the victim on Fox News. The great
5:49
victimization machine. It's so good. It's so tuned up. It can even make sad Elon seem sympathetic
5:59
Let's watch. Companies are suffering because I'm in the government. You just pointed that out a
6:04
moment ago. Do you think it helps sales if dealerships are being firebombed? Of course not
6:11
and Tesla customers are being intimidated all over the country and all over Europe
6:16
Does that help Tesla? I mean, you had Tim Walz, who's a huge jerk
6:22
running around on stage with a Tesla stock price, where the stock price had gone in half
6:30
and he was overjoyed. What an evil thing to do. All of the questions are non sequiturs
6:38
Where are the questions about his ketamine use? Elon Musk has declared that Doge is scrutinized and therefore it's transparent
6:47
Doge is scrutinized because it is not transparent. Doge is a bunch of 19, 20, 21-year-old gangsters and bullies who've been turned loose to vandalize
7:00
something that's not theirs, causing anxiety and stress. And in three months, they have broken things that three months from now, the American people will feel very plainly
7:14
The truth of this matter is Elon Musk and Donald Trump are trying to seize power Elon Musk on Fox News is talking about what exactly
7:26
Human birth rates? While the economy craters? While people are snatched off the streets
7:32
While Donald Trump threatens? Law firms, media stations capitulate? What Donald Trump understands is that when he goes after someone, he knows in advance
7:44
what they'll do. because he doesn't go after people he doesn't understand
7:50
He understands who will capitulate. He smells their weakness. But America is not a capitulating country
7:57
And there's a lot of people in this country who will never lie down to this
8:01
Elon Musk, he doesn't comprehend that. He doesn't understand because he can't feel the type of emotions
8:07
that would allow him to understand the deep hatred he has engendered
8:13
by attacking something that we all hold in this country very dearly, liberty
8:19
Donald Trump never hears the word no from his sycophants. There's no accountability
8:26
The rules that apply to you do not apply to them. And we're going to have another vote on it
8:31
There's going to be a vote in a Florida special election. Do everything you can to help the Democrat take Matt Gaetz's seat
8:38
There's going to be a vote in a Wisconsin Supreme Court election
8:41
It matters a great deal who wins because we're testing whether Elon Musk can buy judges anywhere
8:48
he wishes in the country with the outcome of that election. As we turn to April and into the spring
8:55
the American crisis is going to begin to grow. The protests will begin to grow as the weather
9:01
warms. As we turn to summer, there will be chaos. There will be disorder. There will be an economy
9:09
that is cratering and all of it is caused by Donald Trump. All of it is caused by his agents
9:16
like Elon Musk. We must oppose it. This will be a historic spring in the United States
9:24
