Speaker 1: It is Monday, November twenty fourth. This is the morning
Speaker 1: it's Thanksgiving week here in America. One thing that none
Speaker 1: of us should be thankful for is the collapse of
Speaker 1: any possible information coming out of a Sunday morning show.
Speaker 1: It used to be that very talented journalists would challenge
Speaker 1: very powerful people with facts and information, and they would
Speaker 1: do so on behalf of their viewers, the American citizen.
Speaker 1: The idea is that in a democracy, the citizen has
Speaker 1: to be informed, They have to have some stakes in
Speaker 1: the game. The Sunday morning shows have become ritualized reality
Speaker 1: show theater. It is the beginning of a week of
Speaker 1: farce and misinformation and nonsense. Let's start with the Secretary
Speaker 1: of Agriculture, some Washington, DC maga RedHat explaining to the
Speaker 1: American farmer that things are okay. Is offset by some statistics,
Speaker 1: including one which will I'll rest my case on one
Speaker 1: thing that's happened during the Trump presidency is the American
Speaker 1: farmer has leapt to the front of the pack again,
Speaker 1: leading the way in suicides. Suicide is a disease of
Speaker 1: despair and hopelessness, and right now in America, millions of
Speaker 1: people are discussing suicide with the chatbot. That is the
Speaker 1: sickness that has come to our land by the power
Speaker 1: of the hedge funds, the tech oligarchs, and the media
Speaker 1: lords like Larry Ellison and David Allison, who want to
Speaker 1: control all of the avenues of information. I wonder why
Speaker 1: at any rate, here is one of the great clowns
Speaker 1: of the Trump era, a Sunday Show stalwart Howard Lutnik.
Speaker 2: Sure, what is the backup plan should the Supreme Court
Speaker 2: rule against you?
Speaker 3: Well, we are going to win the case. It's pretty clear.
Speaker 3: I was. I sat in the Supreme Court. We're going
Speaker 3: to win the case.
Speaker 4: But the fact is the president has all sorts of
Speaker 4: policies and tools throughout.
Speaker 3: He's got tariff rules.
Speaker 4: Of two thirty two in my department, he's got three
Speaker 4: on one, he's got three thirty eight, he's got tariffs
Speaker 4: are going to be a part of this administration's national
Speaker 4: security and national economic protection of the American people.
Speaker 3: But we are going to win the case. So you
Speaker 3: can worry about.
Speaker 4: The backup plan, but you're going to watch the Supreme
Speaker 4: Court back this president because this president has proven that
Speaker 4: he can protect America and AIPA is protecting America. So
Speaker 4: we are going to win this case. You heard it
Speaker 4: from me. I feel confident. I sat through the case.
Speaker 4: We're going to win.
Speaker 1: This creton has no credibility whatsoever. The decision to put
Speaker 1: him on and allow somebody you know is lying and
Speaker 1: is a clown to misinform your audience is an act
Speaker 1: of corruption, and yet it never stops at any rate.
Speaker 1: There is no person, no bigger clown, no more obvious fool,
Speaker 1: maybe in the entire administration than Lutnik who insists the
Speaker 1: tariffs that are breaking the back of the American family,
Speaker 1: breaking the back of the American worker, breaking the back
Speaker 1: of the American economy, are in fact working and good
Speaker 1: for you.
Speaker 2: Let's watch what's your expectation, Secretary in terms of a
Speaker 2: second reconciliation bill or a standalone two thousand dollars check
Speaker 2: program to go out.
Speaker 4: Look, the tariffs are an American policy. The President wants
Speaker 4: the American people to understand how great tariffs are for them.
Speaker 4: And so one of the ways to prove to the
Speaker 4: American people how great tariffs are is to have them
Speaker 4: share in a part of one year's income from these tariffs.
Speaker 4: And that's two thousand dollars ahead, as he said, for
Speaker 4: people who need the money. You know where He's going
Speaker 4: to constrain it to people who need the money. And
Speaker 4: that's exciting. So the President's got that on his desk.
Speaker 4: I know that's something he wants to achieve, and his
Speaker 4: legislative team will figure out the best way to do it.
Speaker 4: But what he's trying to do is make sure people
Speaker 4: in America understand that tariffs are their policy. It's to
Speaker 4: make America stronger and they can also benefit their pocketbook,
Speaker 4: and that is coming next year from the President.
Speaker 1: The great talent of the Trump administration comes at communicating
Speaker 1: false outrage over invented in while committing the acts they
Speaker 1: decry over and over and over again. The most corrupt
Speaker 1: administration in history coming into Thanksgiving, has an approval rating
Speaker 1: in the thirties, disapproval ratings in the sixties. Is finally
Speaker 1: managing to do something that a lot of us thought
Speaker 1: was impossible, which is to see Donald unite the country.
Speaker 1: He's doing it, of course, around the only thing he
Speaker 1: could possibly unite anybody around, which is despising him and
Speaker 1: his treachery and his dishonesty.
Speaker 5: What is appeasement?
Speaker 1: It is a philosophy that holds, if I feed the
Speaker 1: crocodile first, he'll eat me last. The problem with the
Speaker 1: philosophy is, in the end, looking ahead to what fate
Speaker 1: has in store, the best outcome is to be the
Speaker 1: last eaten by a giant reptile, which is not a
Speaker 1: good result now. Marjorie Taylor Green is an exquisite example
Speaker 1: of a person whose ignorance was reinforced by the insanity
Speaker 1: that's curated behind the imprisonment of the algorithmic wall, erected
Speaker 1: by this generation's most dangerous drug pushers, America's tech oligors,
Speaker 1: feasting on conspiracy, eating a stew of insanity. Marjorie Taylor
Speaker 1: Green was trained to become a twenty first century political leader,
Speaker 1: not by a party, but by the American culture.
Speaker 5: And the American culture is insane.
Speaker 1: And she went there and became schooled in the ways
Speaker 1: of Washington in power and politics, and saw all around
Speaker 1: her fraudulents. A legitimately crazy person. In the end, couldn't
Speaker 1: believe that she was part of something so crazy that
Speaker 1: it would cover up on behalf of the leader she
Speaker 1: worshiped like a god, his complicity, his partnership, his friendship
Speaker 1: with the most notorious child sex trafficker and criminal of
Speaker 1: the twenty first century.
Speaker 5: And so that was the straw that broke the proverbial
Speaker 5: camel's back.
Speaker 1: A faithful sycophant suddenly called the trader because she wouldn't
Speaker 1: get in line with the pedophile who is the leader's friend.
Speaker 1: Now she has some explaining to do about why she
Speaker 1: ran around for so long with Matt Gates properly and
Speaker 1: clearly and credibly accused, well sourced reporting that makes clear
Speaker 1: he had sex with a seventeen year old child McDonald's
Speaker 1: worker who needed a hand up when she was leaning
Speaker 1: out that McDonald's window, and instead Congressman Gates gave her
Speaker 1: ecstasy and four hundred dollars so we could.
Speaker 5: Sleep with her.
Speaker 1: Megan Kelly doesn't understand the concept, but I'm sure most
Speaker 1: of you do. Here's the deal about all of these
Speaker 1: wretched people, Carolyn Levitt, Jared Kushner.
Speaker 5: The list goes on.
Speaker 1: A great nation of three hundred and fifty million souls
Speaker 1: is under siege by about one hundred villains who hold
Speaker 1: political power because we let them get it, and now
Speaker 1: we have to take it away and be thankful that
Speaker 1: in real life, outside of the mirage, outside of the illusion,
Speaker 1: outside of the sick play which we have all become
Speaker 1: yoked actors.
Speaker 5: In, we have the power.
Speaker 1: Not Donald Trump in his imagination, in his fiction, in
Speaker 1: his theater, he is king of the world.
Speaker 5: And dictator of America.
Speaker 1: But in real life he is the lee of a
Speaker 1: despised and failing political novelty act, a great grotesquery, a
Speaker 1: sewer act that rose to the top, a great desecration,
Speaker 1: like a wave that swept over the country, is starting
Speaker 1: to recede. It's going to leave an awful mess, but
Speaker 1: it will also leave.
Speaker 5: Behind an important lesson.
Speaker 1: From that lesson, and out of that mess can come
Speaker 1: better days if we remember some important principles. Government in
Speaker 1: America is about securing the blessings of liberty, and the
Speaker 1: purpose of life in our free country is about the
Speaker 1: pursuit of happiness, not richest, not power, but happiness of
Speaker 1: the common man and woman, who ought not to become
Speaker 1: serfs of the world's richest men and women, whose insatiability
Speaker 1: and rapaciousness, combined with Trump's malice and corruption, has threatened
Speaker 1: to drown the American experiment in a pit of venom
Speaker 1: and a sea of filth into that all of us
Speaker 1: patriots must say no, not on our watch, not in
Speaker 1: this time, not in our country. We oppose it, we
Speaker 1: descend from it, and we will break it in half
Speaker 1: before this struggle is over.
Speaker 5: I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning.
Speaker 1: I invite you to join this community, where I promise
Speaker 1: to be honest, blunt and direct about what is happening
Speaker 1: in this country. America is in crisis. Follow and subscribe
