WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:02.435
JOB, DEFENSE SECRETARY MARK
ESPER, WHO HAD BROKEN WITH TRUMP

00:02.470 --> 00:06.883
ESPER, WHO HAD BROKEN WITH TRUMP

00:06.884 --> 00:14.240
OVER AMONG OTHER THINGS TEAR

00:14.242 --> 00:16.983
GASSING OF PEACEFUL PROTESTERS.

00:17.018 --> 00:19.248
ONE TRUMP OFFICIAL IS NOW

00:19.282 --> 00:20.844
DELAYING WHEN BIDEN’S TRANSITION

00:20.845 --> 00:22.005
TEAM CAN FORMALLY BEGIN ITS

00:22.007 --> 00:22.460
WORK.

00:22.494 --> 00:24.138
A SMALL ANNOYANCE THAT DOES NOT

00:24.173 --> 00:26.053
ALTER THE CONSTITUTIONAL

00:26.054 --> 00:27.316
TRANSFER OF POWER.

00:27.351 --> 00:30.963
AND SO IN SOME WAYS THIS TRUMP

00:30.997 --> 00:32.451
ERA ENDS AS IT BEGAN.

00:32.452 --> 00:34.496
FLOUTING THE BASIC OBLIGATIONS

00:34.531 --> 00:36.984
OF DECORUM AND GOVERNING.

00:36.985 --> 00:38.754
DRAWING ATTENTION TO THE PETTY

00:38.755 --> 00:40.835
ABSURDITY OF SOMEONE SO SMALL

00:40.869 --> 00:42.614
OCCUPYING AN OFFICE SO LARGE.

00:42.615 --> 00:44.161
I GOT TO TELL YOU, THIS WOULD BE

00:44.162 --> 00:47.058
COMICAL IF IT WEREN’T SO

00:47.059 --> 00:47.354
SERIOUS.

00:47.355 --> 00:49.836
LIKE SO MANY TRUMP-ERA

00:49.870 --> 00:50.488
INDIGNITIES.

00:50.522 --> 00:52.544
IT’S ALSO WORTH NOTING THE

00:52.545 --> 00:56.045
PRIVILEGED HYPOCRISY AT PLAY.

00:56.046 --> 00:57.576
PRESIDENT OBAMA FAMOUSLY,

00:57.610 --> 00:58.746
PUBLICLY WELCOMED THEN

00:58.781 --> 01:00.612
PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP TO THE

01:00.613 --> 01:02.038
WHITE HOUSE, DESPITE DONALD

01:02.039 --> 01:04.472
TRUMP’S BIRTHER LIES ABOUT OBAMA

01:04.473 --> 01:06.869
AND HIS THREATS TO JAIL OBAMA’S

01:06.871 --> 01:09.755
SECRETARY OF STATE AND THE TENSE

01:09.756 --> 01:11.512
CLIMATE AT THE TIME AS TRUMP HAD

01:11.513 --> 01:12.931
REALLY WON FEWER VOTES THAN

01:12.932 --> 01:14.247
CLINTON AND ONLY NARROWLY WON

01:14.248 --> 01:15.008
THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.

01:15.009 --> 01:16.577
BUT THEN, OF COURSE, DONALD

01:16.611 --> 01:17.864
TRUMP BENEFITTED FROM THE VERY

01:17.865 --> 01:19.283
TRADITIONS HE NOW FLOUTS.

01:19.317 --> 01:20.749
THE MEETING YOU SEE ON YOUR

01:20.783 --> 01:25.103
SCREEN, IT WAS EXACTLY TWO DAYS

01:25.137 --> 01:26.826
AFTER THAT YEAR’S ELECTION.

01:26.860 --> 01:28.491
IN PRESIDENT OBAMA’S AMERICA

01:28.525 --> 01:30.318
THAT’S WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKED

01:30.319 --> 01:31.139
LIKE, PROFESSIONAL AND

01:31.140 --> 01:32.724
RESPECTFUL, EVEN IN THE FACE OF

01:32.758 --> 01:33.642
THE OPPOSITE.

01:33.677 --> 01:34.652
NOW IN PRESIDENT-ELECT BIDEN’S

01:34.653 --> 01:36.071
AMERICA, THIS IS ALSO WHAT

01:36.073 --> 01:39.288
DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE.

01:39.289 --> 01:41.647
CALLING FOR UNITY AND RESPECT.

01:41.681 --> 01:42.646
AGAINST A NOW VANQUISHED

01:42.680 --> 01:44.445
OPPONENT WHO LET’S BE CLEAR

01:44.480 --> 01:44.902
HONORS NEITHER.

01:44.936 --> 01:47.135
AND THEN YOU HAVE PRESIDENT

01:47.136 --> 01:47.864
TRUMP’S AMERICA.

01:47.865 --> 01:50.819
WHAT DOES DEMOCRACY LOOK LIKE

01:50.853 --> 01:52.149
TODAY OR YESTERDAY OR SATURDAY?

01:52.184 --> 01:55.147
WELL, HERE ON THE NEWS, WE CAN’T

01:55.149 --> 01:56.261
EACH TELL YOU.

01:56.262 --> 01:57.438
EVEN TELL YOU.

01:57.439 --> 01:58.737
BECAUSE WE HAVEN’T HEARD FROM

01:58.738 --> 02:00.449
DONALD TRUMP SINCE THURSDAY WHEN

02:00.484 --> 02:02.121
HE FALSELY CLAIMED FRAUD AND

02:02.122 --> 02:03.790
VOWED TO FIGHT THIS IN COURT.

02:03.792 --> 02:05.486
LET’S BE CLEAR TONIGHT ONE LAST

02:05.521 --> 02:06.387
TIME, THIS PRESIDENT COULD NOT

02:06.422 --> 02:09.110
KEEP THAT SAME ENERGY AFTER HE

02:09.144 --> 02:09.979
LOST SATURDAY.

02:10.014 --> 02:11.131
AFTER PRESIDENT-ELECT BIDEN

02:11.166 --> 02:12.733
CELEBRATED VICTORY AND ADDRESSED

02:12.767 --> 02:15.173
THE NATION, DONALD TRUMP COULD

02:15.174 --> 02:17.328
NOT KEEP THAT SAME ENERGY TO

02:17.363 --> 02:18.525
FIGHT ON ANYMORE, OR EVEN KEEP

02:18.526 --> 02:21.649
THAT SAME ENERGY TO TALK IN

02:21.650 --> 02:22.690
PUBLIC.

02:22.724 --> 02:27.507
NO, WE HAVE NOT HEARD AGAIN FROM

02:27.541 --> 02:30.522
THIS MAN, THIS NOTORIOUS

02:30.556 --> 02:31.848
SHOWMAN, THIS VOLUBLE

02:31.850 --> 02:34.228
ENTERTAINER, BUT WHEN IT CAME

02:34.230 --> 02:37.472
DOWN TO THE SHOWDOWN, THE SEASON

02:37.506 --> 02:39.477
FINALE, THE LAST SCENE, IT TURNS

02:39.479 --> 02:41.039
OUT FOR TRUMP THIS IS NOW A

02:41.040 --> 02:41.651
SILENT MOVIE.

02:41.652 --> 02:42.816
AND ISN’T THAT FITTING?

02:42.851 --> 02:45.139
THAT IT ENDS NOT IN COURT, NOT

02:45.173 --> 02:47.789
ON TV, NOT EVEN IN A PHONED-IN

02:47.790 --> 02:50.340
INTERVIEW OR A RALLY.

02:50.342 --> 02:53.167
NO, IT ENDS WITH THE LOSER OF

02:53.169 --> 02:56.169
THE ELECTION QUIETLY TYPING

02:56.171 --> 02:59.812
TWEETS INTO THE NIGHT BECAUSE,

02:59.846 --> 03:01.313
AMERICA, TONIGHT, LET ME

03:01.347 --> 03:02.468
PARAPHRASE A WISE ALL FROM

03:02.503 --> 03:03.458
CANADA.

03:03.492 --> 03:07.068
DONALD TRUMP IS THE TYPE OF GUY

03:07.069 --> 03:08.256
TO JUST TYPE PUP AND, TO LET
