the republican party slow march into autocracy, led by donald trump. the one day dictator wannabe. in a speech last night at the new york young republicans club gala, the gop front runner did not back down from his comment last week that he would only be dictator on day one of a possible second term in office. instead, he doubled down on it. baker today, in the new york times, he said that i want to be a dictator. i didn t say that. i said i want to be a dictator for one day. but the new york times said, and you know why i want to be a dictator? because i want a wall, right? i want to wall, and i want to drill, drill, drill. reporter: for all the lying that he does, there is no reason not to believe him when he says he wants to be dictator for one day, what is unbelievable about it is that trump, who is not known for his restraint himself discipline, we only want to be dictated for a day. it is significant and disturbing escalation of rhetoric even for donald trump, becau
so, yes, there was a warning out there but, i don t believe it was the warning that people really thought that they needed to hear. and this is the key. if you hear that word warning, or if your phone goes off, you cannot treat it like a small issue, a small tornado. because you don t know if it s going to be your neighborhood or not. now, the entire town of perryton did not get hit, but the center part of town, the tornado went right smack through the center part of town. north, southside a little bit better. did not fare as well in the middle. and this is what we are seeing right here, this is really the middle part of the town asked, the storm, the tornado itself, cut right from west the east right across the city and the town itself. and that is what happened there. this was brian s video, i was watching it live as he shot this. he did a really fantastic job today, and i hope he saved some lives. because that s why storm chasers go out, there to get the word out that yes, i see a t
