tell you the truth I think we're living in the most dangerous times uh since um we got attacked and night America has seen its fair share of political storms but the years under Donald Trump felt like something different it wasn't just the usual political debates it was chaos outrage and a country that seemed more divided than ever from fiery speeches to dramatic policy shifts Trump's presidency shook up everything some saw him as a leader who wasn't afraid to speak his mind while others believed he was tearing the country apart and when things get messy people
speak up especially those with influence enter two Hollywood Legends Morgan Freeman and Robert dairo these aren't just any actors they're cultural icons voices that people listen to for decades they've played roles that reflect America's struggles its triumphs and its darkest moments but this time they weren't acting they were angry and they had something to say Freeman believes America is in one of its most dangerous times dairo he's called Trump a gangster running the country like a mob boss these aren't just passing comments they're loud warnings from two men who have watched history unfold and don't
like what they see and they're not alone we're in a very bad situation there's not I remember you and I about five six years ago talking I'm down at the spring Studios something about I said what I what just happened just happened no it didn't didn't happen it's all about truth and what we have here is um a denial of Truth all over the place and even the speech that he made after is insane it's just insane and I'm very very concerned about it I think we all are um this it's insane so that's why
I felt I had to do something say something about it um to go on record Morgan Freeman isn't the kind of person who jumps into Political debates for attention when he speaks people listen because his voice carries weight wisdom and a non-nonsense attitude and what he's been saying about America lately it's a serious wakeup call Freeman believes the US is in one of the most dangerous times in its history not because of foreign enemies or economic struggles though those exist too but because of what's Happening inside the country division misinformation and a leader who he
says was never fit to hold office he's not alone in thinking this experts have warned that democracy itself was at risk under Trump with attacks on the media a disregard for facts and an obsession with power that made the country feel less like the land of the free and more like a ticking Time Bomb Freeman has called out policies that in his view made America weaker not stronger the handling of racial tensions the rise of hate groups feeling emboldened and the chaos surrounding key institutions he's pointed to all of of it he's also spoken about
Trump's erratic leadership questioning his ability to handle crises responsibly he's never minced words when discussing Trump's presidency whether in interviews or public appearances Freeman has expressed his frustration warning that history has seen what happens when leaders prioritize ego over the people and what he sees a country that was being pushed toward instability by someone who cared more about his image than the job itself Democratic National Convention really want a female president don't you I really do yeah yeah you w maybe to a point but I think you know it's time we moved on from old
white men running the country uhhuh ni be a nice chain now speaking of old white men do you remember the first time you voted and um and who was it for or is this in the CRS category yeah yeah yeah uh I'm I yeah for Freeman this isn't about politics it's about the survival of a country he loves and when someone like him is worried maybe the rest of America should be too Robert dairo isn't just critical of Donald Trump he absolutely despises him and he doesn't hold back he's called Trump a wannabe gangster a
dictator in training and someone who runs the country like a Bob boss coming from the guy who played some of the most legendary gangsters in Hollywood that comparison hits hard dairo has made it clear he sees Trump as a leader who rules through fear lies and intimidation the way Trump demands loyalty attacks those who question him and tries to control the narrative it reminds dairo of the power hungry criminals he's portrayed on screen but unlike a movie this isn't entertainment this is real life and in Dao's eyes America was being played I think it really
started with uh I got interested with Bill Clinton with Bill Clinton he's the person and did he personally get you involved or you just saw him and um and thought Oh that's a guy that I feel that's a guy that I think is going to ride with us a while um and he's the only it's the second president I got to meet up close and personal who is the first uh um George Washington Bush you're quick his anger isn't just about Trump himself it's about what he believes Trump did to the country dairo has warned
that Trump's influence has made hatred and division more acceptable the rise of racism The Assault on Truth the way people are encouraged to ignore facts and believe whatever Trump says it terrifies him dairo hasn't just spoken out he's been loud from award shows to interviews he's used every platform possible to warn people about the dangers of Trump's leadership in 2018 he made headlines at the Tony Awards when he shouted Trump on live TV he's urged people to vote criticized Trump's attacks on the media and even said he'd like to punch him in the face I
is should not be president period we are at a moment in our Liv in this country where this guy is like a gangster he's come along and he's said things done things we say over and over again this is terrible we're in a terrible situation we're in a terrible situation and this guy just keeps going on and on and on I the day after he was elected I said well you know give him a chance you never know you'll see but he is the he's be worse than I ever could have imagined a lot ofis
of you okay well you know this is C sorry for dairo this isn't about politics it's about fighting against what he sees as a dangerous shift in America and if he has to be the loud voice in the room to make people pay attention so be it when Morgan Freeman and Robert dairo speak people listen their voices don't just Echo within Hollywood they reach Millions worldwide so when they took a strong stance against Donald Trump the reactions were immediate and intense for many Americans their words resonated Freeman and dairo weren't just famous actors they were
respected figures with Decades of credibility their concerns reflected what Millions already felt fear frustration and a sense that the country was heading in the wrong direction supporters praised them for speaking out calling them brave for using their platforms to challenge a powerful leader you think he pretends to be dumber than he is to confuse people and make them think I don't think so why you would guess that there are there's a big group of people in this country who believe that he cares about them I am totally dumbfounded baffled by that I can't understand it
and it's a thing that we've seen over the over you know decades and decades and it's it's a he's a the he's a he is a a malignant narcissist he's a socio psychopath um he's created some new language as far as describing somebody in his mental condition he's a he's it's it's so frightening and scary and he's he's dangerous we got get rid of do you ever but not everyone saw it that way Trump's base dismissed them as outof touch Elites accusing them of trying to lecture Real Americans from their Hollywood Mansions dairo especially faced
intense backlash his unfiltered attacks on Trump sparked outrage among conservatives with many calling for boycotts of his movies Freeman while less aggressive in tone also received criticism for stepping into politics some argued that actors should stick to entertainment and stay out of government Affairs and with Freeman and dairo standing firm against Trump they've added their names to a long list of public figures who refuse to stay silent when history is being written Donald Trump has never been one to ignore criticism especially when it comes from high-profile figures so when Morgan Freeman and Robert dairo spoke
out against him he did what he always does fired back Trump has a history of dismissing Hollywood critics as radical leftist and overrated actors he's called dairo a low IQ individual and mocked his career claiming he's taken too many hits to the Head from playing tough guys in movies Trump's supporters cheered him on viewing his attacks as proof that he wasn't afraid to stand up to the so-called Hollywood Elite Freeman on the other hand received Less Direct backlash from Trump himself but his criticisms were often lumped into the broader category of fake news and liberal
propaganda I love this city I don't want to destroy it Donald Trump wants to destroy not only the city but the country and eventually he could destroy the world when Trump ran in two 2016 it was like a joke this buffoon running for president no never could happen we'd forgotten the lessons of history that showed us other clowns who weren't taken seriously until they became vicious dictators with Trump we have a second chance and no one is laughing now this is the time to stop him by the implications were clear Trump thrives on conflict instead
of ignoring celebrity criticism he turned it into a political weapon using it to fuel the idea that Hollywood and the media were out to destroy him his strategy worked with his base solidifying The Divide between those who saw him as a truth teller and those who saw him as a dangerous force in American politics but despite Trump's attacks Freeman and dairo never backed down dairo continued to hammer Trump publicly calling him a threat to democracy and using every opportunity to warn Americans about the consequences of another Trump presidency Freeman while less aggressive remained vocal about
the dangers he believed Trump posed to the nation's future even with the backlash their influence didn't waver if anything their voices only grew louder because for them this wasn't just about trump it was about what kind of America would be left when he was gone a government that as President Lincoln said of the People by the people for the people shall not perish from the earth under Trump this kind of government will perish from the earth I don't mean to scare you no no wait maybe I do mean to scare you if Trump returns to
the White House you can kiss these freedoms goodby that we all take for granted and elections forget about it that's over that's done if he gets in I can tell you right now he will never leave he will never leave you know that he will never leave what does that mean is that the country we want to live in do we want him running this country and saying I'm not leaving I'm dictator for life Morgan Freeman and Robert dairo didn't speak out for attention they did it because they saw a country in danger whether it
was Trump's leadership the division he fueled or the threats to democracy they refused to stay silent some cheered them on others dismissed them but one thing is clear their voices matter now it's up to the people what kind of future does America want the conversation isn't over if you found this discussion important like share and keep it going because silence that's never changed anything if you enjoyed leave a like And subscribe more videos are on screen now
