Subtitles section Play video Print subtitles THIS IS THREE DAYS AFTER THE ELECTION IN 2016, AND I'M READY TO DO A PREDICTION ON HOW THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WILL WIND UP. IT'S VERY EARLY. THE INAUGURATION IS IN LIKE 100 DAYS. I READ THE STORIES, I KNOW WHO HE'S GOING TO PUT IN CHARGE OF THE DIFFERENT CABINET POSITIONS ROUGHLY SPEAKING, IT WILL BE A CAST OF CHARACTERS, AND I KNOW THESE GUYS, I'VE STUDIED THEM ALMOST THEIR ENTIRE POLITICAL CAREERS. BY THE NEAR END OF THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY, THREE YEARS IN TO THE END, WE WILL HAVE AN EPIC DISASTER. A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY THAT. NO, POLITICAL DISASTER. A CONSTITUTIONAL DISASTER. BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY THAT BUT THEY DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT IT MEANS, PEOPLE LIKE TO TALK -- NO, TRUMP IS A STRONG MAN. LIKE PUTIN, LIKE ERDOGAN IN TURKEY, HE KNOWS NO BOUNDS AND HAVING HAD NO BOUNDS PUT ON HIM AS A SPOILED BRAT, NOW HE WON THE PRESENCE HE, HE THINK THE LAWS AND RULES DON'T APPLY. LOOK AT WHAT I DID WITH TRUMP UNIVERSITY, 1000 OTHER INSTANCES, I ALWAYS GOT AWAY WITH IT. HE IS ALSO A SERIAL BUNGLER, HE IS PUTTING INTO PLAY PEOPLE LIKE NEWT GINGRICH AND RUDY GIULIANI, ETC., WILL PUT THE LAW TO ITS EDGE AND OFTEN GO OVER THAT EDGE. THREE YEARS AND THEY WILL BE INTENSELY UNPOPULAR, PARTLY BECAUSE THEY ABUSED OUR NORMAL WAY OF DOING THINGS IN AMERICA AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL WAKE UP OUT OF THEIR STUPOR AND GO, I WANTED TO THROW A BRICK THROUGH THE WINDOW OF THE ESTABLISHMENT BUT IT LOOKS LIKE I BROKE MORE THAN A WINDOW. THIS THING IS REALLY BAD. THAT IS PART ONE. PART TWO IS, TRUMP IS SO INCOMPETENT THAT THERE IS NO WAY THAT HE IS NOT GOING TO BOTCH TWO TO THREE HUGE THINGS IN THOSE THREE YEARS. YES. HIS POPULARITY WILL PROBABLY BE IN THE 20S. THAT SETS IN MOTION A CHAIN OF EVENTS THAT IS DANGEROUS, HE AND HIS CRONIES WILL REALIZE THEY WON'T GET REELECTED, HENCE THEY WILL LOSE POWER. BUT IN THAT TIME THEY'VE ALREADY DONE SELF-DEALING. THEY'VE ALREADY BENT OR VERY LIKELY BROKEN SEVERAL IMPORTANT LAWS. THEY THINK, AS ALL STRONGMEN DO, THAT'S WHY THEY NEVER WANT TO LET GO OF POWER, THAT'S WHY YOU CAN'T GET PUTIN OR ERDOGAN OUT WITH A COUP OR A BLOWTORCH, THEY KNOW THE MINUTE THEY LEAVE OFFICE, UH OH, ALL THEIR WRONGDOING BECOMES APPARENT AND THEY CAN'T HAVE THAT. AND THESE GUYS HAVE NO RULES OR BOUNDS OF DECENCY, OR WHAT THEY VIEW AS AMERICAN PRINCIPLES, SO THEY WILL BEGIN TO ATTACK THE MEDIA NOT THE WAY TRUMP DID DURING THE CAMPAIGN, THAT WAS AN APPETIZER. I'M TALKING ABOUT AN ACTUAL ATTACK. BEGIN TO JAIL PEOPLE, COME UP WITH EXCUSES. LOOK, OBAMA OPENED THE DOOR, WHISTLEBLOWERS ARE PROSECUTED UNDER THE ESPIONAGE ACT, RIGHT? THAT DOOR THAT HAS BEEN PRIED OPEN, HE WILL KICK OPEN. THERE WILL BE HUGE ISSUES WITH I THINK POTENTIALLY JAILING MEMBERS OF THE MEDIA, POLITICAL OPPONENTS, AND PEOPLE WILL GO, THIS IS NUTS. WHAT ARE WE DOING? BUT THE MORE HE DOES IT AND THE STRONGER HE GETS, THE MORE COMPLIANT SOME PORTIONS OF THE MEDIA AND EVEN THE OPPOSITION WILL BE. AND HIS SUPPORTERS, DEFINITELY. HIS SUPPORTERS WILL GET MORE EMBOLDENED. THEN AMERICA WILL HAVE TO CHOOSE BECAUSE WE WILL BE AT THE BOILING POINT ABOUT FOUR YEARS FROM NOW, WE WILL BE ON THE PRECIPICE OF A CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS, MARK IT DOWN. IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, BECAUSE IT IS IN THEIR NATURE. ALL THE THINGS I SAID ARE NEARLY INEVITABLE. TRUMP IS NOT GOING TO TURN AROUND AND DECIDE, OH WELL, NOW THAT I'VE GONE 70 YEARS BREAKING ALL THE RULES AND HAVING EVERYTHING BE ABOUT ME AND SELF-DEALING AND TAKING MY OWN CHARITY AND BUYING PORTRAITS OF MYSELF WITH IT AND ENRICHING MYSELF AND GIVING MONEY TO MY KIDS' PRIVATE SCHOOLS -- NO, THE PRESIDENCY IS TOO IMPORTANT. NO, A TIGER DOES NOT CHANGE HIS STRIPES. HE WILL DO THAT IN OFFICE, AND HAVING REALIZED HOW MANY THINGS HE DID WRONG, HE WILL START THINKING, I CAN'T LEAVE, IF I LEAVE I'M GOING TO BE IN TROUBLE. REMEMBER, THESE ARE THE GUYS WHO CHANTED "LOCK HER UP." SO BY THE END IT WILL GET SUPER UGLY. ONE LAST THING ABOUT THIS, PEOPLE ARE WORRIED ABOUT HIM ATTACKING DIFFERENT MINORITIES, ETC. AND FOR POLITICAL EXPEDIENCY TO RILE UP HIS BASE HE WILL. BUT THAT IS NOT THE MAIN PLAY, THERE IS NO MONEY IN THAT. RIGHT. THE REAL ISSUE IS, HOW DO WE GET THE MONEY? THEY WILL DO THE SELF-DEALING, ALL THESE DIFFERENT THINGS, THAT IS THE MAIN THING. AND THE BEGINNING, IT WILL START OUT NICE AND EASY. ALREADY HE HAS THE LOBBYIST GROUPS, CLASSIC REPUBLICAN LOBBYIST GROUPS, WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES READY TO GO OUT ALL SORTS OF FAVORS TO THE PEOPLE WHO GAVE HIM POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS, THAT IS TOTALLY NORMAL IN AMERICA, HE WILL TAKE IT TO ANOTHER LEVEL BUT THAT IS THE POLITICAL BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION WE HAVE NOW. NO, HE WILL BE BUSY DRAINING THE SWAMP. IN THE BEGINNING THERE WILL BE A SENSE OF, IT'S NOT THAT BAD. HEY, IT TURNS OUT HE DIDN'T JAIL THE MUSLIMS OR THE MEXICANS AND DIDN'T KICK THEM OUT, THIS WAS ALL OVERBLOWN, OUR CONCERNS. THERE WILL BE A LULL OF SIX OR 18 MONTHS OR A YEAR, SOMEWHERE ALONG THOSE LINES, WHERE PEOPLE THINK WE WERE WORRIED ABOUT NOTHING. THEN THE TERROR BEGINS. I DON'T MEAN TERROR AS IN IMMEDIATELY LOCKING PEOPLE UP OR GOING AFTER ETHNIC MINORITIES -- THEY WILL ONLY GO AFTER THE MINORITIES IF THEY ARE CORNERED AND THEY NEED A SCAPEGOAT. OR AN ELECTION IS COMING UP, AS IT DOES EVERY THREE DAYS IN AMERICA. I HEAR YOU, BUT THAT IS NOT THEIR AIM. THEIR AIM IS A SELF-AGGRANDIZING AND SELF-DEALING AND TO MAKE MORE MONEY AND ACCRUE MORE POWER. WHEN THEY BECOME DANGEROUS IS WHEN THEY REALIZE THEY ARE GOING TO LOSE POWER.
