Shadowing Practice: Trump Shuts Down Senate Overturn Election - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creando lección...
1
Donald Trump is so terrified of these upcoming midterms that not only is he actively trying to cancel them right now,
2
but he is trying to overturn the elections of the past.
3
And I'm not just talking about the presidential election that he lost that has haunted him ever since.
4
But Donald Trump is trying to remove two sitting U .S senators.
5
You heard me correctly.
6
That is Donald Trump's plan, and that is what he is going to announce Thursday night.
7
This is a five -alarm fire,
8
and anyone who is not meeting this moment with rightful outrage is failing and should not be in our politics.
9
People who aren't calling out this corruption, this self -dealing, this self -serving,
10
military army in ice to intimidate and kill Americans across the country so they can serve him in the midterms.
11
If you're not willing to call them out, you are failing.
12
But there is a reason that Donald Trump is going after these two senators.
13
And it's not just because Georgia hurt him in 2020, but it's because Ossoff, Senator John Ossoff, is saying things like this.
14
I want to hear what he had to say because it's what has Donald Trump so outraged.
15
It has him shutting down the Senate And reportedly, He's going to try to kick these two out, Ossoff and Warnock.
16
But let's start with John.
17
Donald spent Saturday complaining on the Internet.
18
Listen to this.
19
Six hours, 52 posts.
20
The President attacked the Pope.
21
He posted his own face on Mount Rushmore and a made -up Trump Peace Prize.
22
He announced three times America's back and he assured an increasingly concerned public he's in excellent health.
23
- And when not posting, he's been trying to rob us.
24
Have you seen it?
25
He sued the U .S government he commands for 10 billion dollars.
26
Then he settled the suit with himself to create a 1 .8 billion dollar slush fund
27
so he can cut checks to cronies and Jan -6 foot soldiers.
28
The same men who sacked the Capitol.
29
to seize the presidency.
30
for Donald Trump, who beat police officers with flagpoles, built a gallows on the Capitol lawn, and hunted the Vice President to lynch him.
31
Donald Trump's brown shirts.
32
He pardoned them, and now he wants you to pay them.
33
He's trying to put his face on the money.
34
Did you see that?
35
He's building a monument to himself.
36
- Stay!
37
But see, Atlanta, he's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he's gone.
38
Thank you.
39
Because he's a failed president and a national disgrace.
40
This is exactly how every single Democrat should sound.
41
And if you don't, let's be honest.
42
You should not be doing the job.
43
You need to be talking about the corruption.
44
You need to be talking about the self -dealing within the Trump family.
45
You need to be talking about the cognitive decline.
46
You need to be talking about the fact that Donald Trump is
47
so out of it that the 25th Amendment needs to be invoked.
48
that senator ossoff has been so successful it's the reason
49
that a lot of people are talking about him as a 2028 contender
50
and what does that mean besides the fact
51
that there might be a couple of great democrats running for
52
president 2028 it means we're talking about a presidential election in 2028 and that scares the out of donald trump
53
Because it means he's not going to be a part of it.
54
If his Republican Party is moving on, if Democrats are fielding young, dynamic candidates, Donald Trump is worried about losing the one thing that he believes is keeping him alive.
55
And that is the White House.
56
And so he made a big announcement today.
57
I want to start with that and then get into the reporting about it.
58
Donald Trump, he says, speaking in the third person for some reason, will be making a speech to the nation on Thursday evening at 9 p .m.
59
Eastern.
60
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
61
Now, usually I would roll my eyes at an announcement like this, considering last time Donald Trump delivered a speech to the nation.
62
It was him saying a whole bunch of nothing sounding tired out of it slurring his words
63
But that was until I got to this reporting today
64
that senator John Ossoff responded to news on This speech
65
that Donald Trump is planning on giving Donald Trump is planning to announce
66
that Georgia's two senators John Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are illegitimate because of fraud a well -placed source in Georgia tells us
67
could come as soon as tonight, but it is maybe what Donald Trump is teeing up for his Thursday speech as he continues to lie about election fraud.
68
Now, the reason that I am taking this reporting seriously is because Senator John Ossoff responded and said Donald Trump's spiral continues.
69
The failed president, pocketing billions as he drives up prices, is afraid to lose the midterms.
70
So he will reheat debunked election conspiracy theories until bizarre new lies to try to deny his 2020 defeat
71
and attack voting rights.
72
This is a disaster for Donald Trump's puppet Mike Collins.
73
Already mired in scandal, Mike will now have to double down on conspiracy theories toxic in the general election.
74
From the start, Donald Trump's obsession with Georgia elections revealed his fury that black voters were instrumental to his defeat.
75
I'm asking concerned citizens nationwide to join me and support our voter protection efforts how we should all be responding,
76
making it clear why Donald Trump is doing this right now.
77
And it's what I've talked about consistently with the Save America Act.
78
Maybe Donald Trump will actually go forward with trying to remove John Ossoff and Raphael Warnock from the United States Senate.
79
But has Donald Trump seen much success in the Senate lately?
80
He can't even get his Save America Act passed.
81
And so why is Donald Trump talking about election conspiracies again?
82
Why is he bringing up debunked claims?
83
Why is he denying the results of an election that was six years ago?
84
It is because Donald Trump doesn't actually want to do anything.
85
And this is an important point.
86
Sure, he will send ICE to the polls.
87
Donald Trump will do everything he can to lie about elections, to dissuade people from turning out, to physically intimidate people with violence.
88
But he doesn't actually want to get any real voter suppression passed.
89
Sure, Republicans have found as many ways as possible to target black voters.
90
But Donald Trump knows that if he passed his quote unquote Save America Act, it would actually hurt Republican voters more than Democrats.
91
What Donald Trump wants to do.
92
is to point to something after his loss and say, "That is the reason that I didn't win." And he will come up with anything.
93
He'll say it's because the Save America Act wasn't passed.
94
He'll say because of voter fraud in Georgia in 2020.
95
Remember?
96
After the shootings, the killings, by ICE in Minneapolis that Pam Bondi said, we will let these agents leave.
97
We will make these agents leave if you hand over your voter rolls.
98
And then Cash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard went down to Georgia and demanded their voter rolls.
99
Same thing was happening out in California.
100
Donald Trump just wants to get his hands on enough phony evidence and bullshit to say, hey, I don't trust these results.
101
So maybe we just don't count them.
102
And right now we have Mike Johnson and we have John Thune in charge.
103
Maybe they push back.
104
This is a trial run.
105
All of this is a trial run to keep Donald Trump in power in 2028
106
because that is ultimately what matters most to him.
107
He doesn't care about the House or the Senate.
108
He doesn't care if some, you know, difficult district Republican or purple state Republican loses the House or the Senate.
109
It doesn't matter to them.
110
Donald Trump wants himself to stay in power.
111
So this is all a trial run.
112
And if you're not paying attention or talking about it, you're failing at doing your job.
113
Which is why I was surprised to see Jake Tapper, of all people, Say this on his show, do a little monologue today.
114
In our politics lead, President Trump has made some big claims about rights
115
given us in the first amendment to the U .S.
116
Constitution.
117
The freedom of speech and yes, the freedom of the press.
118
We want total freedom of the press.
119
It's very important to me.
120
It's more important to me than anybody would believe.
121
If we don't have free speech, then we just don't have a free country.
122
It's as simple as that.
123
Well, Mr. First Amendment has turned out to be anything but.
124
We have seen the president target free speech.
125
Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert come to mind.
126
But his disdain for freedom of the press is even more direct.
127
doesn't go through oligarchs.
128
Friday the Trump Justice Department took the outrageous step of subpoenaing four New York Times journalists after their report on safety concerns.
129
over the president's Qatari gifted Air Force One plane.
130
Then today, President Trump's defense secretary announced a joint task force with the Justice Department to quote, Identify and prosecute leakers.
131
To leak sensitive national defense information and secrets, betrays the men and women who wear our nation's uniform.
132
Leaked information risks lives.
133
- That's a good point.
134
I know of one leak that put our brave pilots at risk, Secretary Hegseth.
135
You might want to read this Pentagon Inspector General report from 2025,
136
quote, "Evaluation of the Secretary of Defense's reported use of a commercially available messaging application," quote,
137
Secretary Hegseth's actions created a risk to operational security that could have resulted in failed U .S mission objectives
138
and potential harm to U .S pilots, unquote.
139
So Mr. Trump, if you're concerned about leaks within your government, have at it.
140
I got it.
141
There's a guy right there named Hegseth.
142
But going after reporters, it's just downright un -American.
143
And it's just the latest in a string of deeply concerning escalations.
144
The White House barred Associated Press reporters from Air Force One and Oval Office meetings because the AP did not change
145
their style to call the gulf of mexico the gulf of
146
america remember the ap is read all over the world and We're the only ones that call it the Gulf of America.
147
The Pentagon tried to impose broad restrictions on reporters, barring them from the building if they didn't agree to them.
148
Both restrictions have been challenged in court.
149
President Trump personally has filed civil lawsuits against many media organizations for reporting he says is false.
150
including against ABC, CBS, CNN, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the BBC, He cut funding.
151
for public radio stations, NPR, and for public television, PBS, for being, quote, "radical left monsters." that so badly hurt our country," unquote.
152
This January, the FBI executed a search warrant of a Washington Post reporter's home over a leak investigation.
153
And in May, the president called reporters.. treasonous for doing our jobs.
154
We've had a total victory, except by people like you that don't write the truth.
155
You should write.
156
I actually think it's sort of prezono -ness what you write, but you and the New York Times and CNN, I would say, are the worst.
157
He said that just a few minutes ago, by the way, in the Oval Office.
158
Soon senators are going to be voting on the attorney general nomination of Todd Blanche.
159
Todd Blanche, the acting head of the Justice Department.
160
Clearly part of this assault on the press,
161
this administration believes in pardoning January 6th extremists who beat up police officers while they subpoena journalists for doing our jobs,
162
is the Senate about to sanction this crackdown?
163
We're watching.
164
So is history.
165
Jake Tapper, who refuses to talk about Donald Trump's cognitive decline, his health crisis.
166
Jake Tapper, who told the president, "Oh, dear leader, sir, good sir, I want to be so normal for you, sir.
167
Barry Weiss, don't fire me when the Ellisons take over CNN." Jake Tapper?
168
That Jake Tapper?
169
He said that we need to talk about the First Amendment?
170
We need to defend journalists?
171
Interesting.
172
Because then maybe I'd like to see some of that from you, man.
173
Maybe you could...
174
Maybe you could show not tell.
175
Little show, not tell.
176
Wouldn't hurt anyone.
177
And we are certainly going to cover it all on this show.
178
or we actually do stand up for the First Amendment.
179

180
If you stuck around at the end, drop a blue heart in the comments.
181
Keep on fighting, y 'all.
182

And until next time.

I'll see you soon.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
