Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's Tuesday, October twenty one.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
This is the warning.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
These are the.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
Tragic pictures of the East wing of the White House
being demolished on the orders of Donald Trump. He says
this is a groundbreaking and soon there will be a big,
beautiful ballroom.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Now the American people.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Donald Trump just literally who well, he's shit on them.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Let's watch.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
And while prices are going up and shells are exploding
over California I five, while extremist whack job congressman and
like Chip Roy are denouncing half the country as terrorists
again an espousing religious nuttery and using his blasphemy to
(01:14):
justify his politics of domination.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
And the truth is the Marxist, the radicals, and the
Islamist the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle
the truth. The truth is that there is a king
and that king is Jesus, and the President has been
willing to say it, his administration has been willing to
say it. And Charlie Kirk was willing to say it
and he got killed for it.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
No, Chip, there was no conspiracy that killed Charlie Kirk.
He was murdered by a depraved young man from a
maga Republican family who grew up fetishizing guns, and the
rest is history. But we have a rolling Reichstrog fire
in the United States. Each day knew wild claims are
(02:02):
invented that justify this, the use of force all over
the country against the people, ordered by corrupt officials Pambondi,
Christy Noan, Tom Homan, Corey Lewandowski, Steven Miller, Sector Chief Bovino.
(02:24):
Every one of these fascist thugs is an arsonist. They
are burning the Constitution as surely as Donald Trump is
wrecking the White House.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Look at it. Look what he has done in the
Oval Office.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Look with disgust at his desecrations, his tastelessness. Look at
the damage the beautiful rose garden paved over all of
the idiocy about how he is making this space beautiful,
is desecrating it, and it does not belong to him.
(03:07):
The Democratic Party is lost because it lost to him.
The losing of an election, and the manner in which
it was lost is in and of itself something of
a corrupt act. It is disgraceful, and the party is
(03:29):
led by people like Chuck Schumer who keep it penned permanently.
Now it seems at an approval level where three out
of four people.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
In the country rejected.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
There will be a reform Democrat, somebody who lives in
reality and can meet this moment, who will rise and
they will make promises when they run for president, and
they will have to say things that they mean, and
they'll have to say them with integrity, and they'll have
(04:05):
to deliver on it. What is happening here to the
White House is an act of corruption. The money that
is being used to build this monstrousity, this grotescery, is
coming from Trump's Saudi friends and his Emiati friends, and corrupt.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Seekers from all over the world.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Bitcoin hustlers, load down comment and petty thugs.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
That's who's funding this.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
And the next Democratic nominee, a candidate who can win,
will be a person who can look the American people
in the eye and promise them this that this grotesque
Trump ballroom will be knocked down and turned to rubble.
It will be turned into powder, dusted on the trail
(05:02):
leading to the African American Museum on the National Mall, shameful.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
The Rose Garden will be restored, and the Trump.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Playing gifted by the kataries will be seized, be dumped
in the ocean. The idea that Donald Trump has the
license to destroy the White House with an election mandate
of forty nine and a half percent of the vote, Well,
it's just another act of shitting on the country.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
That's the truth and the irony of this is there's
no Kings Rally. What are we actually talking about. I mean,
it wasn't President Trump but Democrats who tried to make
us take a shot or lose our job. It wasn't
President Trump but Democrats who were burning our cities to
the ground in twenty twenty and attacking police officers. It
wasn't President Trump, but it was Democrats who want to
(05:55):
push boys into girls' locker rooms, who want to force
surgeries upon chill. It wasn't President Trump but Democrats who
pushed fraudulent mail in ballots in twenty twenty and left
the elections in question. And then when Americans dared to
question that stuff, they sought to jail the American people.
They weaponized the government against the American people. And now
(06:18):
they want to turn around and say they're going to
have a no King's Rally.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
When Chip Roy looks into a camera and spouts the
nonsense that he spouted. It's a threat against your liberty.
He wants to make you kneel to his god, and
his God is Trump. And Chip Roy lives on his
knees serving his King, Donald Trump. And he dare lecture us,
defame the American patriots who stand up in March for
(06:45):
freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the right to be
free from search and seizure in our homes, who seek
to continue the American experiment and give it to our kids.
Chip Roy slandered millions of Americans, and he did it
for power in the end, in this moment, powerful interests
(07:06):
in corporations, Google, Facebook, all of these companies that have
written the check supposedly for Trump's ballroom. In fact, what
they did is taking a wrecking ball to the people's house.
They broke it like they broke our children's minds with
their algorithms and their manipulations and their greed.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
And the next iteration of.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
The Democratic Party cannot be the lay down, get along
appeasement democrats like Chuck Schumer. Look what these people have
done to our country, Look what they have done to
our White House.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
And if I seem angry, you're.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Damn right I am, because that belongs to me and
to my kids, not to Trump and his And this
is the warning, Bob Stevet, this is the warning.
