It is April the 14th, 2025, and this is a momentous day in history. There are few that rival

it in terms of anniversaries, of arrogance, stupidity, and greed, coming to meet in the icy

waters of the North Atlantic, over which I will be flying later this evening,

proximate to the time of the sinking of the ship that they said God himself could not sink.

Of course, I am thinking about Titanic, and as Donald Trump puts the American ship of state, full steam

ahead into the ice, it seems we should remember what happened on that icy night 113 years ago

this evening. There is always a high cost for highest levels of stupidity, mixed with misjudgment, mixed

with greed that are all then celebrated as virtues, when in fact they're the recipe for catastrophe. This is the warning.

People all over the world, including in the United States, including people I met in Oklahoma

this weekend, they're all asking the same question. What's happening? And why is it happening?

Well, let me start by showing you a landslide, an avalanche.

When an avalanche starts, gravity does most of the work. However it begins, and it doesn't take a lot.

Once that sheet of ice and snow and rock starts to come down, there's nothing to stop it except at the bottom.

And what starts at the top, like a trickle, can become incredibly destructive.

So Donald Trump has set things in motion that will be incredibly destructive for American power,

American prestige, and for American power, American prestige,

and for our allies, trust.

The United States has broke trust with our friends.

We have broken trust with our ideals, with our ideas, with our values.

Because for a time now, the government of the people by the people for the people has been hijacked by Donald Trump and his gangsters, who serve their self-interest, who serve their

greed, who serve the cause of their own power, but never you, ever.

They are conmen and they are stealing from you.
