1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,920 Speaker 1: This is the warning. And last night President Trump sat 2 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: down with Fox News' Brettbeaer. Now, the first thing to 3 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: notice in this interview, and I don't point this out 4 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: to be petty or to be small, but to make 5 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 1: a point that is significant and important for the lost 6 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: Democrats to understand. Brettbeer, the Fox anchor in twenty twenty, 7 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: was terrified of telling his audience that Donald Trump had 8 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,919 Speaker 1: lost the presidential election. This is really important to remember. 9 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 1: There is an utter and absolute lack of integrity coming 10 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 1: together when these two sit together. The second thing that 11 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 1: has to be said. In a country of three hundred 12 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: and forty million people where half of them are men, 13 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: and at the core of the mag of movement is 14 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: this overt obnoxious, assertive, chauvinistic idiocy typified by Elon Musk 15 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: for example, and his coterie of agents led by Big Balls. 16 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: Here are the fellows, all of this phony masculinity that's 17 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: at the center of MAGA. It is nonsensical, a dogma 18 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: of the phony tough in the week does not comport 19 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: with the reality of men's lives across America. No father 20 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 1: wants their son to grow up to be either Big 21 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: Balls or Donald Trump because both big Balls and Donald 22 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: Trump lack character, a moral fiber, stamina, all of these things. 23 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: But more deeply than that, when Donald Trump sits down 24 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: with Brett Behar, there will be no questions about the 25 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: eight hundred thousand of the Americans who've lost money on 26 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: the Trump coin, no count that I'm aware of on 27 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: how many have lost money on the Milania coin. And 28 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: so there these two liars sit, their faces deformed by injectables, 29 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: looking different in a fundamental way, like the chieftains of 30 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: PanAm from the Hunger Games. He celebrates the trivial in flames, 31 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: the dangerous divides, the peaceful attacks our allies threatens them, 32 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: and has this to say about the Chinese dictator who 33 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: has millions of people in slave labor camps. 34 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 2: I happen to like him a lot. Presidentcci. 35 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: Here's what he says to the Ukrainian president. 36 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 2: You know, they may make a deal, they may not 37 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 2: make a deal. They may be Russian someday, or they 38 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 2: may not be Russian someday. But we're going to have 39 00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 2: all this money in there. And I say I wanted 40 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 2: and I told them that I want the equivalent like 41 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 2: five hundred million dollars worth of rare Earth, and they've 42 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 2: essentially agreed to do that. 43 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: Donald Trump does not put a high price on freedom. 44 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: Everything is a transaction in a brutalist world, in an 45 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: upside down world. And whatever it is that people here 46 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: staring at a screen, it does not change the central 47 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: fact of this moment, which is the most powerful person 48 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: in the world has given a blank check license to 49 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: the richest man in the world to attack the programs 50 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: that help some of the poorest people in the world. 51 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 2: First of all, he's a great guy. He was never 52 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 2: really a supporter or not a supporter. He was a 53 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 2: sort of semi neutral kind of a guy, not a 54 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 2: political person, very smart, brilliant person and which I like. 55 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 2: I'm a big believer in IQ points. 56 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: It is an easy argument for Donald Trump to make 57 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: to tell the American people that this is the only way. 58 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: Only Elon Musk, genius of geniuses, founder of Tesla and SpaceX, 59 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: a man who can make rockets land standing up, can 60 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: fix it. Now we just heard Donald Trump talk about 61 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: what he wants from Ukraine. Everything's a transaction. What does 62 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: he want from Elon Musk? And what does Elon Musk 63 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 1: want from Donald Trump? It's an important question because neither 64 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: of them care about any of you or about the country. 65 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: Elon Musk is off the wall. Elon Musk dreams about 66 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: settling on Mars, utterly indifferent to life here on earth. 67 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: Donald Trump lives in his head, where he writes the 68 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 1: script as he goes, and rarely do you see a 69 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: breaking confidence the thought forming. But you can certainly see 70 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: it coming together here as he gets ready to lie 71 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: about President. 72 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 2: G I happen to like him a lot. 73 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 1: President Yes, in this dangerous moment, Trump' spews nonsense, controls 74 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: the microphones, controls the bully pulpit, His allies who run 75 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: the social media companies, control the algorithms, and so week 76 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: over week, month after month, Donald Trump will strangle the 77 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: ability to mount an effective defense against this idiocy that 78 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: you will be able to hear on ordinary channels. And 79 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: so he watched this prep bere interview, and Donald Trump's 80 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: illiteracy is manifested. Talks about the trade war to come, 81 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: He talks about the inflation that he'll spike. All of 82 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: the bad things to come will be memorialized in interviews 83 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: like this that we can go back to later and 84 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 1: observe and look at. 85 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 2: And you're not worried that any of that's going to 86 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 2: go back to the consumer. It might, but it's ultimately 87 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 2: going to be much less expensive. I'll give you an example, 88 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,239 Speaker 2: the so called fat drug or fat shot, whatever it's called, 89 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 2: ozempekkor manjuro. In London, you get it for eighty eight dollars. 90 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 2: In New York you get it for one two hundred dollars. 91 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 2: You can't even buy it. It's very unfair. 92 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: Donald Trump won an election with forty nine point nine 93 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: percent of the vote. He was not given a mandate 94 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: by eighty percent of the country to burn down the constitution. 95 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: He won narrowly, though decisively. Donald Trump knows he faces 96 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: hollow opponents, un serious ones. A man who is not 97 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 1: an incapable negotiator sees weakness across the table and knows 98 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: he'll get the votes and Elon can keep doing whatever 99 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: he wants to do. He gets to do both because 100 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: Trump knows he's winning, because facing him are losers who 101 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: lack toughness and grit and the stamina to hold the line. 102 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: And so the Democratic Party is called on as the 103 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: party of government to save not government programs, but the 104 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: very concept of government of the people. By the people 105 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: for the people from an assault by the richest man 106 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: in the world, ordered by a vengeful president that is 107 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: outside the law, that is extra constitutional, and that must 108 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: be stopped. The Democratic Party is called to defend government 109 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: at the expense, perhaps of government programs, in a contest 110 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: where there will be suffering, and there will be pain, 111 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: and there will be consequence, consequence imposed by the cost 112 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: of defeat to the lowest, most vile scumbag to ever 113 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: raise his hand and take the presidential oaths. And now 114 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: he has power. And the powerful or afraid of this mean, 115 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: cruel and vengeful man, they are capitulant towards him. They 116 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: are cowed by him. But the Democratic leadership must not 117 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: fall into that category lest we lose the country. And 118 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: that is unacceptable. Americans are a tough people, hard people 119 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: in the Democratic Party, its history makes clear, has risen 120 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: to the occasion many times, and it has been filled 121 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 1: with plenty tough people to make the hard decisions. Look 122 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: Donald Trump in the eye and tell him enough or 123 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: you shut it down, and you'll keep it shut down 124 00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,040 Speaker 1: for the next two years, and that can be the 125 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: first two years of his legacy. He'll look back on 126 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: COVID and remember it as the good old days. That 127 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: should be the counter offer to Elon Musk's assault. It 128 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: should be delivered with steel and directness and dead seriousness. 129 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: The Democratic Party best understand what's coming at them, and 130 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: stepping backwards makes it worse. This is the warning. I'm 131 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: Steve Schmidt. This is the warning, and I invite you 132 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: to join.
