| 0:00.0 | It is, and welcome to the Jim Acosta show on this Friday. It is a mess. Trump's presidency is unraveling. His promises to be a peacemaker and Unifier are going up in smoke in both Los Angeles and especially in the Middle East right now. Trump promised a golden age. This looks more like a shit show and it's getting worse by the day. As you can see with me, my guest, |
| 0:22.3 | Olivia Troy, Chuck Rocha, joining a little later on. But Olivia, I mean, here's what Trump promised |
| 0:26.4 | during his second inaugural address. Not that he was serious about this, but this is what he said. |
| 0:31.7 | He said, quote, my proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier. That's what I want to be, |
| 0:36.6 | a peacemaker and a unifier. |

| 1:30.7 | Now, we are in an administration where they have, the first thing I thought about with this |
| 1:34.4 | attack was the fact that they've just gutted the National Security Council. |
| 1:38.3 | So right now, that would be turning into a 24-hour machine of response right now, |
| 1:43.0 | trying to figure out, out like where it stands, |
