WEBVTT - Donald Trump Is What America Voted For 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:02.800 There are fifty five days until Donald Trump will raise 0:00:02.880 --> 0:00:05.760 his hand and swear the thirty five word oath that 0:00:05.920 --> 0:00:10.120 all presidents have taken from George Washington on. He will 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:14.360 promise to do this time what he desecrated last time, 0:00:14.560 --> 0:00:19.840 which is to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of 0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:24.600 the United States. This is the warning. When we get 0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:27.800 to the end of Trump's term, I have some predictions 0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:30.920 he will be one of the most unpopular presidents in 0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:34.839 American history. His four years will be a failure. The 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:39.519 economy will be a disaster, and the security situation around 0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:43.560 the world will be terrible. It will be dangerous, American 0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:47.960 forces will be in harm's way, and everything that Donald 0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:51.879 Trump said that he was going to do will be 0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:57.080 either left undone, have resulted in a giant catastrophe, or 0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:02.320 had the opposite effect of what he was intending. During 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:07.000 the four years, Donald Trump will go on a deregulatory binge. 0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:10.480 The federal government is too big, it is too sclerotic. 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:14.120 The remedy to it isn't smashing it. But that's what 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:17.080 Donald Trump will do. On the other side of this 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:23.000 is a chance for renewal for Democrats, for progressives. Progress 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:28.000 is the key part of progressivism. Piers Morgan, while denouncing 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:31.039 the view and calling for its cancelation yesterday and the 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:34.080 pages of The New York Post, made a number of 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:39.520 claims from London about America and the American majority, which 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:43.120 he is dead asked wrong about completely. A great many 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:47.600 maga personalities and commentators are suggesting that we have entered 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:50.760 a new age of trump Istan and that the American 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:55.000 people have bequeathed to Donald Trump all of their decision making, 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:59.000 all of their agency for all time. Daddy knows best, 0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:03.200 and he'll make a America great again, doing whatever he wants. 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:07.440 This is fantastical. This is not what happened on election Day, 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:11.519 and the American people will not stand for it. By 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:16.720 a very slim number of votes in total, Donald Trump 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:20.400 was elected president of the United States. He was elected 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:24.440 with no mandate to do whatever he wants. His mandate 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:28.880 is specific, and it is to accomplish a couple of things. 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:32.840 Donald Trump has been given a clear mandate to communicate 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:36.720 that the expectation of the American taxpayer is that the 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:41.359 European countries will pay for their own defense if they 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:47.400 are to be under America's protection. Under America's nuclear umbrella. 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:51.680 The day must hould their own weight. Donald Trump has 0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:56.320 that mandate. It's indisputable, and I support him in that effort. 0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:59.960 Donald Trump has a mandate to deal with America's broken 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:05.320 and grandstanders like the mayor of Denver who say I 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:10.320 will not cooperate with federal authorities enforcing the law I 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:14.280 intend to break it are no better than the lawless 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:18.320 MAGA people who just won in the first place. This 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:22.880 moment requires better. The truth of the matter is the 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:27.120 people that will be deported are in the country illegally, 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:30.480 and the American people voted and a lot of those 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:34.480 people will be removed from the country. Now, there are 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:38.800 no details, there is no budget, and an extremist sits 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:42.120 in the White House who has a fetish for cruelty 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:46.160 has asked in the Oval Office about the possibility of 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:50.000 the military killing migrants with a missile strike off the 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:52.840 coast of San Diego, where he was told to shut 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:55.280 the fuck up by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:58.640 of Staff. Again, in the Oval Office is running the 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:03.120 deportation program, so what could go wrong? There will be abuses, 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:09.120 human rights, abuses, do process abuses, abuses of children and families, 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:12.280 and women that take place during this and it will 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:15.600 take place in our name, the name of the American people. 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:20.279 And as this mass deportation comes into effect in the 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:24.960 country is lashed by its cruelty and families are brutalized 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:29.039 by the vindictiveness. The American people will get to process 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:33.480 what they voted for, what they chose. The second that 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:37.719 Donald Trump takes that oath of office, he may deploy 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:42.640 the US military domestically, He may turn the military loose 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:47.159 to deport eighteen million people. Who knows some things are 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:51.120 easy to sit in the process to know about. Now, 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:54.680 there are other things that most Americans just don't know 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:58.479 a lot about because most Americans are not economists. And 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:04.080 it's very easy in a globalized economy where everything is connected, 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:07.760 to lie to somebody and tell them that there's a 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:12.039 better deal to be had if you can sprinkle some 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:17.320 things called tariffs over the cake that's called the economy, 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:22.720 which makes some things more expensive than others for the 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:28.599 purposes of helping sell things to people that are made 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:33.680 in your country as opposed to somebody else's. Now this 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:39.280 makes sense, right. Donald Trump announced yesterday that to help America, 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:43.599 which is a country and Americans, which are the three 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:46.880 hundred and forty million of us who live in the country, 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:50.920 that he's going to take a stand and do something 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:56.039 to punish other countries to help Americans following me so far, 0:05:56.600 --> 0:06:00.000 The action that he's going to take is to impose 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:05.320 something called a tariff on every product that comes into 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:08.719 the United States. And what he said is he's going 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:12.240 to put a tariff on everything that comes from Mexico, 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:17.360 everything that comes from China, and everything that comes into 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.560 the United States from Canada. Let me show you a 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:24.440 picture of a house. Now, pull the house apart down 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:28.360 to its most minute elements. The wood comes from where 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:34.159 bean by bean, the nails, the plastic, the dishwasher. Let's 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:38.320 say that the dishwasher is made in China and it 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:42.720 costs one thousand dollars at Best Buy. Under Trump's plan, 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:47.560 it now costs one thousand, two hundred and fifty dollars. 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:52.120 This is what inflation is when something that costs ten 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:57.359 dollars today costs twelve dollars next week, while your paycheck 0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:02.360 stays at eleven dollars. If Trump does what Donald Trump 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:06.360 has promised to do, the inflation of the Biden era 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:10.760 will be like sticking your ankle into the ocean as 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:14.600 opposed to jumping off the boat into the ocean in 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:18.320 the middle of it. Americans are great at a lot 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:21.280 of things. The thing that we are all time world 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:26.920 champions at is consumption. So if you consume a lot 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:31.320 of cheap plastic shit from China, everything in your life 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:35.560 is about to be much more expensive. If you work 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:41.160 in the American economy building something for someone, making something 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:47.040 for someone, rafting something for someone, doing something for someone. 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:51.480 Like let's say you're young Marthus Stewart fifty years old, 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:57.040 You're about to step forward into your catering business. Everything 0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:01.320 that you do just got more expense. And who do 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:05.160 you pass that cost on to the person paying? Who's 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:08.640 that is that? Trump? Is that Eric Trump? Let's listen 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:13.200 to the great economist who say, Trump talk about the tariffs. 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:16.080 You want to allow drugs to come through our southern border, 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:18.240 We're going to tariff you. You want to allow them to 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:20.920 come through Canada. We're gonna te afew China. If you're 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:23.120 gonna allow this stuff to get sold in our country, 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:27.360 largely produced in China, We're gonna add another ten percent 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:30.440 to your chair. We are gonna cost your countries, your economies. 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:34.600 We're gonna cost your businesses billions, hundreds of billions of dollars. 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:36.760 If you think you're gonna pay you know, Tara, You're 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:40.079 gonna poison Americans. It's not gonna happen. You're not gonna 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:42.520 destroy your youth. You're not gonna destroy our society. You're 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:46.040 not gonna destroy our families. You're not gonna do it. 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:47.880 It's going to cost you. I'm gonna put an end 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:50.800 to it, Laura. When my father sent that twenty minutes ago, 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:52.360 I literally cheered out loud. 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:56.680 About forty years ago, the American people were sold a 0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.480 great lie. They were sold a live by the bankers 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:03.760 and by Wall Street, by politicians, and it created a 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:08.319 new age. The dignity of the American people, who made things, 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:12.080 who built things. The industrial heartland of the country was 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:16.839 stripped away, sold off, exported to China, to Mexico. And 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:20.679 this phenomenon does not just apply to the United States. 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:24.800 The search for cheaper labor is eternal. As the Chinese 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:29.000 economy has grown and developed a middle class, costs have 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:31.960 risen because pay has risen, and so where does the 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:36.320 Chinese job go. It goes to Vietnam, and from Vietnam 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:39.760 it will go to me and Mare someday or somewhere else. 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:43.600 This is part of the global economy, but a lowest 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:49.360 common denominator economy that pushes wages down ever ever, ever 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:53.920 more makes the American worker a surf and the peer 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:58.240 of workers who are paid pennies to indulge the consumerism 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:01.680 of the American What Donald Trump has sold to the 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:05.040 American people as a vision that they're taking advantage of, 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:09.800 that they're disrespected, that they're unappreciated. There's truth to all 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:14.880 of it, particularly when judged against the judgment of America's 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:19.600 elites or their friends all around the world. Nobody likes 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:22.680 to be taken advantage of. And the American people just 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:26.679 elected a guy to smash it. Nothing is going to 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:31.359 stop the smashing for two years, and politically, an opposition 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:35.240 has to fight back, which means it's going to need 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:39.360 to drop back because it's not strong enough to oppose 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:43.120 every action as a fifty to fifty proposition. This is 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:47.160 the cost of defeat, and it's terrible. It's terrible. It's 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:50.359 why in moments I've been so angry because the defeat 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:53.960 has been so unnecessary but we will pay the price, 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:57.199 and we will learn the hard way that Winston Churchill 0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:00.520 meant it and was correct when he said, the people 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:04.360 get the government they deserve. The good news is the 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:09.480 United States is a project that will endure beyond our lives. 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:14.400 It's bigger. We fit into it within a moment of it, 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:17.880 and then we will be gone and the country will endure. 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:22.080 There have been dark chapters, terrible ones, and they're all 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:26.520 forgotten now. Your average American could not speak to any 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:31.080 of them. In this era. All the hyperbole, all of 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:35.320 the Michigan will fade. After the damage is done, after 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:38.720 the danger has passed, there will be renewal, and there 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:42.280 will be better. It's my hope we get to that renewal, 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:46.400 We get to that hitch where the pendulum swings back 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.600 as quickly as possible. And the way we'll get there 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:53.160 is to let the rope out, because pulling on it 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:56.800 does nothing except help Donald Trump, who now gets a 0:11:56.920 --> 0:12:00.679 chance to do what he promised to. Donald Trump will 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:06.000 be president and a wave of shocking executive orders will 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:09.600 roll out. He will not be an incrementalist, not this time. 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:13.520 The amount of information that will be released will flood 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:17.160 the country and it will be across a depth and 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:24.320 breadth of agencies, departments, subject areas military, civil, concerning immigration, 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:28.480 concerning the public health, you name it. He's going to 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:34.000 take executive actions, assert power with absolute immunity for the 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:38.760 purposes of remaking the country. And in that moment, Trump's 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:43.440 defeated opposition should take stock and make some commitments that 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:47.920 it will never be gaslit, diluted and bullshit by leaders 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:53.280 of the Democratic Party ever again. Because on inauguration Day, 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:58.400 the Democratic leaders who Trump relied on to when are 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:01.600 unlikely to be thanked. But you should know their names 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:05.200 and remember them because some of them, like Chuck Schumer, 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:09.560 are fools, and those fools control a billion dollars of 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:14.400 political spending that decides whether Donald Trump gets a check 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:18.680 on him in two years time. The circumstances are urgent 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:22.800 and exigent, and the error of indulgence with these people, 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:26.720 please God, should be over. Yet it is not likely 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:30.600 to be, because power, as we have learned this year 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:34.240 in the most tragic of ways, is something that the 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:41.320 geriatric Democrats will not release their grip on by themselves. 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:45.280 So if you're a Democratic donor, you're a Democratic activist, 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:49.120 heading into this holiday season. You should be pissed off 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:53.920 not celebrating the leadership of the Democratic Party, and unlike some, 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:57.679 you absolutely should not be claiming that they were faultless. 0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:00.400 They did nothing wrong, and that the reason Trump is 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:04.480 in the White Houses. The American people are ignorant, stupid, racist, 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:08.719 and beneath you because if you do what it guarantees 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:12.280 is president vance in four years. And there's an awful 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:15.680 lot of us who are sick and tired of paying 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:19.000 the bill for the arrogancies of a bunch of left 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:22.880 wing political extremists who YopE the country to some of 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:27.880 the most stupid positions in American political history, like defund 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:32.800 the police and demanded that everybody say it. Great job. 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:36.880 Now it's time to focus on better. And the first 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:40.560 thing that Democrats should do is start thinking about not 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:44.280 what to say about the next thing that Donald Trump says, 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:47.360 but to think bigger, to think about you, to think 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:49.960 about how to be on your side, how to be 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.640 on your kid's side, and how to talk to you 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:56.040 about what this country's going to look like twenty five 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:59.400 years from now. They say the days are long, the 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:03.160 years are short, because I'm fifty four on figuring out 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:07.600 what That means twenty years ago America was powerful. Twenty 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:11.120 four years ago, the turn of the millennium, America is 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:14.840 the most powerful nation in the history of human civilization, 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:18.280 with infinite possibilities ahead of it. It was an era 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:23.960 of peace, unity and prosperity. We have decayed over a 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:27.480 quarter century and it's gone by quickly. The way out 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:31.360 of the decay and these failed presidencies of the twenty 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:35.120 first century, with the exception of Obama's, is to articulate 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:38.640 better fast because as soon as we start doing that, 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:42.800 Donald Trump will have to start defending what it is 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:46.440 that he has done and doing. And that is when 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:50.080 Maggat crumbles, and that'll be a good thing. This is 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:54.920 the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt.
