1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: It is Wednesday, November the twelfth, and the American crisis

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: just got much worse. This is the warning. It got

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: worse because the Senate Democrats are a ship of fools.

4
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 2: This is Main's.

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: Independent Democratic Senator Angus King. His takeaway after forty days

6
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,600
Speaker 1: when Trump was on the edge of blinking was to

7
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: say that fighting back against Trump doesn't work.

8
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 2: Listen to him say it in his own words.

9
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 3: Well, Joey, you have to go back to what the

10
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 3: strategy was. At the beginning of the shutdown. There were

11
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 3: two goals, both of which I support. One was standing

12
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 3: up to Donald Trump. The other was getting some resolution

13
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 3: on the ACA premium tax credit issue. The problem was

14
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 3: the shutdown wasn't accomplishing either goals, and there was practically,

15
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 3: well it was zero likelihood that it was going to

16
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 3: In terms of standing up to Donald Trump, the shutdown

17
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 3: actually gave him more power, Exhibit A being what he's

18
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 3: done with the Snap and Snap benefits across the country. Oh,

19
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 3: by the way, joe you're going to love this. Guess

20
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 3: who's getting paid during the shutdown. Not the park rangers

21
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 3: or air traffic controllers, the ice agents under special law

22
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 3: under that big awful bill that they passed last summer.

23
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 3: The ice agents are being paid nobody else is. So

24
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 3: standing up to Donald Trump didn't work. It actually gave

25
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 3: him more power.

26
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 2: He said.

27
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: The outrage directed against him and his fellow appeasers has

28
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: been ginned up by progressives.

29
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 2: And then he.

30
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: Asked the question, but what if it came time to

31
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: be Christmas and air travel was shut down.

32
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: And or there were snap benefits, what then?

33
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: Well, first, you would hope that charitable Americans would open

34
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: their hearts and wallet, Senator, And second, you would appreciate

35
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: that there would be an opposition party that had the

36
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: nerve to stare down the evil that is manifested in

37
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: this country, looking at in the eye and say you

38
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: will back down, not us. What don't you understand, Senator King,

39
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: about the simplicity of the reality that Donald Trump's policies

40
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: sold out his voters in the Rent States, and that

41
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: Trump would have been forced to back up to concede

42
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: because he faced political annihilation. But because of the appeasement,

43
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: the Senate Democrats have yoped the Democratic Party to policies

44
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: around which they have no power, around which they disagree,

45
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: but have now made possible by joining forces with Donald Trump.

46
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: Under the belief that opposing Trump is a mistake.

47
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 2: It is not a mistake.

48
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: It is a profound moral imperative. Angus King is a mistake.

49
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: Look at the decrepitude of this elderly, eighty one year

50
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: old man, justifying his accommodations, his softness, his giving away

51
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: the position of millions of people fresh off an election

52
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: victory by laying supine on his back, and then daring

53
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: to moralize and say the reaction to this is gen duck, implying,

54
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: of course that myself, well in all of you, are

55
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: not smart enough to understand the genius of Angus King

56
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: and Chuck Schumer. This man is a fool. And what

57
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: he and his appeasing leagues have guaranteed is that Trump

58
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: will be emboldened, is that Trump will be inspired to

59
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: squeeze harder. These eight appeasers have their hands on the

60
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: throat of the Republic as much as does Donald Trump

61
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: and MAGA. This moment of crisis cannot be looked away from,

62
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: and the opposition has to appreciate something that for a

63
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: lot of us, the big tent, well, there's not room

64
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: in it for the appeasers. And if the Democratic Party

65
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: wants to take power and a coalition. Then I think

66
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: they'll come to understand across the country those candidates that

67
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: a threshold question is do you support Chuck Schumer? And

68
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: if the answer is yes, the Democratic voter should defeat

69
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: that person in a primary, and the next Democratic conference

70
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: that comes to Washington should vote that fool and his

71
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: retainers out.

72
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 2: And that's not enough.

73
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: Angus King thinks John Thune is his friend, thinks he's

74
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: an honest guy. The man who lies prostrate at the

75
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: feet of Trump on his back, licking his boots, will

76
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: massed agents terrorize the country. The man from the home

77
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: state of Christy, Nome is honest. That's Angus King's conclusion.

78
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: He has bad judgment. And so, if you're a Democrat

79
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: running for the US Senate, here's a piece of advice.

80
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: You will not support Chuck Schumer. You will demand a

81
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: change in leadership. And you will insist that not a

82
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: single one of these Senate geriatrics will hold a committee

83
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 1: chairmanship in a Senate majority. Ever, they are weak, they

84
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: are feckless. Here is the definition of effectless, and here

85
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: are the pictures of the feckless Democrats.

86
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 2: You know, these.

87
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: Democrats voted to seek Trump's cabinet, and look what these

88
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: people have done to our country, look at the threat

89
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: to our liberty. And Angus came thinks it's the wrong

90
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: thing to do to fight back, and he.

91
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 2: Justifies it as fighting.

92
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 1: Back is an emotional and irrational response.

93
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 2: Screw you, and I mean that from the bottom of

94
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 2: my heart.

95
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: There are no words to adequately measure the contempt I

96
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: feel for these appeasers, these weaklings, and because of that,

97
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: there is now no chance to stop the momentum of

98
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: the terrible things coming. It's time for Democrats to appreciate

99
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: that the evil of Maga, filled with nazis, filled with

100
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: exploding anti Semitism, that it came to life because it

101
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: was able to cut through the corrupt rock of the

102
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: Schumercratic Party, and these people, the Angus Kings, explained perfectly

103
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: the collapse of trust in every institution, the rage of

104
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: the American people, and why it is the East Wing

105
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: is demolished.

106
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 2: He is weak, he is pathetic.

107
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: No, I'm not talking about Trump this time. I'm talking

108
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: about you, Angus King, an appeaser to the New Confederacy,

109
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: to American fascism. What you did is stab every believer

110
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: of the American Constitution in the back by laying down

111
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: and licking Donald Trump's boots. You people deserve and have

112
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: earned the scorn of the American people. And know this, Senator,

113
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: what's going to be etched on your gravestone is not

114
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: public servant. It's going to be Maga appeas her, because

115
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: that's what you are.

116
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 2: Your service is a disgrace.

117
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: You come from a state that produced some great heroes

118
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, Margarete, Chase Smith, but Angus King and

119
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: Susan Collins will never ever be on that list because

120
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: they are small, microscopic insects who infested American government and

121
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: like termites, ate it out from inside till it was

122
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: rotten enough to host Maga, who took it over well

123
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 1: with the help of Angus King, because fighting Trump doesn't work.

124
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 1: Pathetic Gavin Newsom is right about that. Pathetic doesn't begin

125
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: to describe it. I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning.

126
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: I invite you to join this community where I promise

127
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: to be honest, blunt and direct about what is happening

128
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: in this country. America is in crisis. Follow and subscribe
