1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:00,640 Speaker 1: Everyone. 2 00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 2: Everyone always tells us we should reach across the aisle 3 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 2: and talk to people who might not agree with us 4 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 2: and build alliances and coalitions against fascism. So here's Steve 5 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 2: Schmidt of the Warning, a longtime Republican turned never Trump 6 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 2: Republican who does his best to eloquently speak out against 7 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 2: Donald Trump, the modern GOP, and the threat that MACCA 8 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 2: represents to not just America but democracy all around the world. 9 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 2: And Steve and I met briefly a few weeks ago 10 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 2: during Donald Trump's State of the whatever that nonsense was 11 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 2: address in Washington, DC, where we were part of Miles 12 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 2: Taylor's State of the Swamp response, and Steve approached me. 13 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 2: I don't know if you remember this, Steve, and said, 14 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 2: you know, actually might agree on a lot more things 15 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 2: than we disagree. 16 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 1: I'd love to talk to you. So I've taken you 17 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: up on it. 18 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 2: We have no script as to what we're going to 19 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 2: talk about, but we don't need a script when we're 20 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 2: living in that seventh circle of help, and it's being 21 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 2: written by Dante on meth and earlier today, Steve uh 22 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 2: Donald J. Trump wrote the following, and I know it's 23 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 2: the first time on the left hook. 24 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: So forgive me. 25 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 2: I have to do his stupid tweets in a stupid voice, 26 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 2: just so don't normalize his inanity. Donald Trump, the president 27 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 2: nited states folks on truth, social whole civilization will die, 28 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 2: never back again. I don't know what that to happens, Steve, 29 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 2: but it probably will. However, now that. 30 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 3: We have complete intertal regime change where different smartin and 31 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 3: less radicalized minds prevailed, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen. 32 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:36,479 Speaker 1: Who knows. 33 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 3: We will find out too. One of the most important 34 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 3: moments in the long and complex history of the world, 35 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 3: forty seven years of extortion, corruption and death with finally 36 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 3: and God bless the great people of Iran, Steve Schmidt, 37 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 3: your response. 38 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: To incredible impersonation those small victories of life. 39 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 4: Still well, we have this deadline right at eight pm tonight, 40 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 4: and I was I wrote about this this morning, and 41 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 4: I was thinking back ten years too. One of the 42 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 4: stupidest of all of the narrative frames imposed on the 43 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 4: contrary by so much of the corrupt corporate media, which 44 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:33,399 Speaker 4: was we have to take Trump seriously but not literally. 45 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 4: And I always came from the school of well, I 46 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 4: don't know about that right, I take them literally and seriously. 47 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 4: This is the most powerful man in the world. And 48 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 4: so if you if you take him literally and seriously, 49 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 4: what he seems to be suggesting is that he will 50 00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 4: wipe out committed genocide later tonight again ast one of 51 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 4: the ancient peoples of antiquity, the Persian people. They'll be 52 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 4: They'll be obliterated somehow later later this evening, which is 53 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 4: an escalation in his rhetoric from when he was just 54 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 4: promising simple war crimes, that he would destroy all of 55 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 4: the civilian infrastructure in the country, every bridge, every power plant, 56 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 4: send it back to the proverbial stone age. So we 57 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 4: see these statements by Trump, then we debate these statements 58 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,839 Speaker 4: by Trump on the television networks. They have all these 59 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 4: panels and people pretend that he didn't say what he 60 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 4: just said, or didn't mean what it is that he 61 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 4: just said. And after ten years, we have abject chaos, 62 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 4: the trees at war. It's a war, we're losing, and 63 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 4: the country is in a great crisis because of all 64 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 4: the madness. 65 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 2: And here we are, and here we are, and they 66 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 2: were they asked a Republican Mike Lawler about this incredible today. 67 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 2: I just saw this, and for those who don't know, 68 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 2: Mike Lawler was literally did what Steve was saying is 69 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 2: kind of a don't take him literally but seriously. And 70 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 2: then the host is like, let me read you his 71 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 2: literal words, and Mike had a dembfounded Greekish response as usual. 72 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 2: And I just want to remind people, Steve, because I 73 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 2: think people forget that we live in the United States 74 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 2: of America, which is not a monarchy where there's deliberate 75 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,239 Speaker 2: separation of powers, where yes, the executive, the commander in chief, 76 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 2: is extremely powerful, but he is put in check. Correct 77 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 2: me if I'm wrong. I haven't practiced law in over 78 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 2: a decade. But there's Congress and the Supreme Court, and 79 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 2: right now I checked that Congress, both houses, both chambers 80 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 2: read the the House is controlled by Republickeans. I would 81 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 2: say the Senate is controlled by Republicans, and I would 82 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 2: even say the Supreme Court is controlled by Republicans. I 83 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 2: would even say corporate media is controlled by Republicans or 84 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 2: billionaires will love Republicans. So there are checks still in place, correct, Steve. 85 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 4: I don't think that we live by any reasonable definition 86 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 4: and a functional Republican. I don't think that the death 87 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 4: of the Republic announces itself with a Scorsese type movie 88 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 4: premiere that it's over today. We now live in something else. 89 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:42,559 Speaker 4: But we objectively do not have the system of checks 90 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 4: and balances envisioned by the founders of the country. This 91 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 4: is a constitutional republic. Inside our constitutional republic, the United States, 92 00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 4: the government officials work and serve the sovereign, which is 93 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 4: we the people and elected officials, including the president, who's 94 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 4: the only person who takes the thirty five word oath 95 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 4: that's prescribed in the constitution, and he takes that. He 96 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 4: takes that oath of office. The president has limited power for 97 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 4: a limited duration of time. The people have rights which 98 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 4: are beyond the powers of the politician, again whose powers 99 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 4: are limited and holds them for a period of time 100 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 4: in a system with checks and balances and a separation 101 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 4: of powers and a separation between church and state in 102 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 4: the country. And so this is foundational to who we are, 103 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 4: to what we are. Donald Trump assaulted the corner zone 104 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 4: of the country when he tried to allege that a 105 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 4: legitimate election was stolen on the basis of buncom and 106 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 4: two things happened. Nobody apparently had the wherewithal not a 107 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 4: single human to tell him, no, you lost. And the 108 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 4: second thing that happened was that the media writ large 109 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 4: could not figure out a frame to explain the conundrum 110 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 4: of somebody who was inventing things because of his broken 111 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 4: ego that was imperiling the foundation of the country. 112 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: He shoots it again. Here we are. 113 00:07:54,880 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 2: He tells it like it is. He's uncouth, he's an outside, 114 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 2: he's anti establishment, he's not polished. He's not a racist. 115 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 2: He had a racial flair, he had a racial trip up. Oh, 116 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 2: he's becoming presidential. He's wringing on the job. He'll pick 117 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 2: it up. Give him some time, eat it and mean it. 118 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 2: Don't take him literally, don't take him seriously. And on 119 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 2: and on the nonsense and the infantilizing goes. Meanwhile, there 120 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 2: were some of us who ten years ago said, no, 121 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 2: this man is a racist, this man is authoritarian, this 122 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 2: man is fascist, this man will not leave legally and peacefully. 123 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 2: We were marked and ridiculed. I am, of course talking 124 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 2: about myself. I deserve no flowers. It's the world's worst. 125 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 2: I told you so. It's like punching myself in the face. 126 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 2: What do I gain from it? Steve we come. I'm 127 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 2: up there. I'm up there with you. Listen. 128 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 4: I had my first exchange with Trump going back to 129 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 4: twoenty and twelve. You know, it should it should always 130 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 4: be remembered that it was Mitt Romney who saw Donald 131 00:08:55,559 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 4: Trump's endorsement on the basis of what his fur and 132 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 4: see for a racist birther conspiracy. And so when it 133 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,199 Speaker 4: comes to Trump, it really is the ultimate story of 134 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 4: what John Kennedy warned about, Beware of the foolish men 135 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 4: who seek power by trying to ride the back of 136 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 4: the tiger, only to wind up inside. And when it 137 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 4: comes to Trump, I think one of the things that's 138 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 4: lost in the debate, in the conversation about the last 139 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 4: ten years and about what happened was every single and 140 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 4: I've been a Democrat now for at least six years, 141 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 4: but every single Republican all in the country, in the 142 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:58,319 Speaker 4: moment that Trump came down the escalator and made his pronouncement, 143 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 4: Lindsey Graham, all these people, one hundred percent of them 144 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 4: were against Trump, absolutely, I remember. And there is a 145 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 4: very small number of people who have infinitesimally small that 146 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 4: have held the position that this was wrong. He's a 147 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 4: danger from the beginning and didn't collaborate with it, appease it, 148 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 4: compromise it, seek to use it as a prop which 149 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 4: Joe Biden did. And again here we are in a 150 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 4: very very very dangerous moment that the American people are 151 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 4: going to have to take care of and clean up. 152 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 2: And I think it makes it even more damning, folks, 153 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 2: because the title of this is twenty four twenty fifth 154 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 2: Amendment or nuclear war. There are checks and balances. Allegedly, 155 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 2: they used to be Republicans do have a job. They 156 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 2: supposed they're supposed to have fidelity to the constitution and 157 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 2: rule of law. Many of these Republicans, like Steve said, 158 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 2: I'm glad you brought it up ten years ago, were 159 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 2: the ones warning us the loudest that Donald Trump would 160 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 2: be not just a danger to their geop but also 161 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 2: the world. Some of these individuals are still in office, 162 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 2: people like Lin's the Graham who wants his religious war 163 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 2: but will not fight for it and instead go to 164 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 2: woke Disney, along with also the senator from Florida who 165 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 2: committed the largest medicare of fraud, Rick Scott. But I digress, 166 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 2: and I'll tell you all that right now. We're literally 167 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,959 Speaker 2: at the potential precipice of nuclear war. And it's not 168 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 2: one of those things where you could just joke about it. 169 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 2: Right Because Donald Trump said this on Easter, by the way, 170 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 2: he still hasn't wished anyone happy Easter. Instead, on Sunday 171 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 2: he apparently converted to Islam. We don't want him. He's 172 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 2: all your fashion, used foul language. I went to an all 173 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 2: boy Jesuit Catholic high school. I said something nice on 174 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,679 Speaker 2: Easter to my Christian friends, Mom, Donnie, the Muslim mayor 175 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 2: said something very nice, understood the holiness of the day 176 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 2: of the day of Resurrection, birth, hope. Or you could 177 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 2: just say happy Easter. Period, That's all I gotta say. 178 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 2: If you really have a loss of words, say happy Easter. 179 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 2: He threatens war, crimes, mocks and ridicules Islam or maybe 180 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 2: converts to Islam, and then uses foul language, and then 181 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 2: since then has been escalating his rhetoric against Iran today, 182 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 2: threatening literal genocide, the use of an eco weapon against 183 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 2: a country of ninety million people, which houses, by the way, 184 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 2: many religious shrines that are very revered to millions of 185 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,319 Speaker 2: Muslims around the world. Think about the repercussions. Just when 186 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 2: it comes to the religious framing of this. Not to mention, 187 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 2: I don't know genocide, war crimes, not to mention, I 188 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 2: don't know nuclear radiation. And this is a man who 189 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 2: has engaged in a violent insurrection. Part of the insurrection 190 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 2: is to rape a woman partied with Epstein. So it's 191 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 2: not beyond the realm, Steve, That's what I'm telling people. 192 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 2: It's not beyond the realm to take him literally and seriously. 193 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 2: And this is where people who it's not just the Republicans, 194 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 2: but the institutionalist you know what I'm talking about. Yeah, 195 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,959 Speaker 2: you and I know who said it'll be business as 196 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 2: usual and don't worry about it. And you know what, 197 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 2: we can use him and we can ride the tiger. 198 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 2: He'll scratch my back. 199 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: You know. 200 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 2: I saw Ian Bremer yesterday of all people, and asking 201 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 2: him again today when Aaron Rupert said yesterday, you know, wow, 202 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 2: this is this could be a threat to use neucro weapons. 203 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 2: When Donald Trump said Tuesday eight pm deadline, Ian said, 204 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 2: come on now, Aaron, really, And then they went back 205 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 2: and forth and Ian was the same one who told me, 206 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 2: come on now. Wag do you think Marjorie tailed Green 207 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 2: represents the president future. Come on, now, wag you have 208 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 2: you know? Do you think Donald Trump will commit a 209 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 2: violent insurrection? What is with these people who get paid 210 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 2: millions of dollars to be wrong, who after ten decads 211 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 2: still suffer from a failure, imagination steal. 212 00:13:55,880 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 4: When the history of this error era is is written 213 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 4: the errors of so many people who have consistently underestimated 214 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 4: Trump looked into what he was saying quite clearly that 215 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 4: he intended to do while insisting that there was no 216 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 4: way he was going to do it. It's a long 217 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 4: list of people, and broadly speaking, we would not have 218 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 4: had a President Trump the first time. 219 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: Or the second time. 220 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 4: We did not live in an era of terrible judgment, 221 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 4: just terrible judgment really over a quarter century basis. Which 222 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 4: isn't to say that there haven't been leaders that have 223 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 4: done good things and that there hasn't been progress made, 224 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 4: but we live in a season of bad judgment, and 225 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 4: there has been manifestly bad judgment applied to Trump. I 226 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 4: for the what seven Democrats voted for Christy no to 227 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 4: be the to be the Homeland Security secretary? Another seven 228 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 4: didn't vote. And the one thing that you know I've 229 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 4: had a lot of political experiences over the course of 230 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 4: my career, but I've never been in the members only 231 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 4: Senate meeting, you know. But I try to imagine myself 232 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 4: as a Senator, and I imagine sitting in there and 233 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 4: in so much of the debate that takes place out 234 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 4: on social media, out on Twitter. It's academic, it's on 235 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 4: a line progressive to conservative, so many of the fights 236 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 4: but tempting in my estimation. But at any rate, I 237 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 4: would sit in that room and I'd say, what fucky, 238 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 4: what hey? I mean, it's not a progressive or or 239 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 4: a conservative reaction, it's a it's a common sensical one. 240 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: What where the dog killer? 241 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 4: Really we're gonna be We're gonna confirm her to be 242 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 4: the head of the country's basically functional interior ministry. 243 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 2: Who took a photos during COVID of her shooting COVID. 244 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 4: Come on, come on, madness and I and I think 245 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 4: one of the reforms and was one of the things 246 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 4: we talked about the defiance event, you know, the reforms. 247 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 4: If someone came out of the Republican Party, it's time 248 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 4: for revival on that Teddy Roosevelt progressive tradition because we 249 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 4: have to defend a straight power. And I and I 250 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 4: think that there are a couple of things that from 251 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 4: a reform perspective, the Democrats that should be four and 252 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 4: one of them is time to raise the vote threshold 253 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 4: on all of these top tier cabinet positions so you 254 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 4: don't have whack jobs whoever get in there. So you 255 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 4: have to make the secretary of Defense, the Secretary of State, 256 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 4: the attorney general. I think sixty votes, sixty five votes 257 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 4: to marginalize the fringes that could emerge on a far 258 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 4: left that exist in our current far right in governing. 259 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 4: And I think that when you look ahead, privatizing SpaceX 260 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 4: is something that has to happen to national security right, 261 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 4: defenestrating power from its accumulations into too few hands has 262 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,439 Speaker 4: to be the work the next Democratic president. And what 263 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,239 Speaker 4: has to happen in this next Democratic Congress is that 264 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 4: they lay out the blueprint, the design, the architecture. They 265 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 4: pass legislation through regular order that makes Donald Trump then 266 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 4: veto it. But that legislation exists for a democratic president 267 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 4: to be able to sign it to law. 268 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 1: Important to do that stuff. 269 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 2: They're not built for this, the modern democratic leadership. And 270 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 2: I've said this for ten years, and I'll say it again, 271 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 2: and I trust the evidence of my eyes and ears 272 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 2: is not made for this moment, and they're not built 273 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 2: for this fight. And this is a fight, in my opinion, 274 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 2: against fascism. It's a word that I've been using for 275 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 2: a while. It's a word I will use again. It's fascist. 276 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 2: It's a white Christian nationalists. It's a racist. It's people 277 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 2: who do not have a vision of America as a 278 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 2: land of plenty. It's a land of scarcity. And there 279 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 2: are people who believe that equality equals oppression. Now that 280 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 2: we've shied on Republicans and will continue shooting on Republicans 281 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 2: because they deserve it. And before I talk about Democrats, 282 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 2: I do want to remind you all of a story. 283 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 2: It was right after the first election of Donald Trump. 284 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 2: I was in d C for some awards, all right. 285 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 2: It was kind of bipartisans and they were awarding people 286 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 2: from all around the world who were helping America or 287 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 2: helping the troops, something like this, right, Lindsay Graham. He 288 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 2: had one job, Steve. His one job was to go 289 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 2: to the podium and read the name of the winner. 290 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 2: That's all he had to do. Just read the name 291 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,159 Speaker 2: of this winner happened to be an Arab Musliman who 292 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 2: came from overseas. Lindsay Graham tipsed out of his mind. 293 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,880 Speaker 2: He literally could not read the name, properly mocked the name, 294 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,719 Speaker 2: barely read it, stumbled and ambled his way, and now 295 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 2: is going to the door. Now this is the Lindsay Graham. 296 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 2: By the way, Folks, at this time, remember ten years 297 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:52,199 Speaker 2: ago him Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, little Marco who 298 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 2: apparently does six jobs. As the only Latin on the 299 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 2: Trump administration, there were the most vocal opponents of Trump. 300 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 2: Remember that, I know it's tough somebody, and I'm assuming 301 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 2: just based on you know what their conversations. They were 302 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 2: never Trump. Republicans were deeply concerned, and I was right there. 303 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 2: So as Lindsay is stumbling and ambling his way out, 304 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,360 Speaker 2: they asked, lindsay, oh my god. 305 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: What's gonna happen? Donald Trump? 306 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 3: One? 307 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 2: You know what are we gonna do? Lindsey turns around. 308 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 2: I'm right in front him, and he goes, They're gonna 309 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 2: fuck up soon enough, and we are you gonna be 310 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 2: there to clean it up? 311 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 1: Fast forward. 312 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 2: That's an exact quote I never used to share that story, 313 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 2: but now I don't care. In the CNN greenroom, folks, 314 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 2: I want you all to know, which is why it 315 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 2: should infuriate you, because they know who he is. He 316 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 2: is threatening nuclear war against Iran, a country of ninety 317 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 2: million people. They have the means to hold them in check. 318 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,360 Speaker 2: The Constitution gives them something that is the twenty fifth Amendment. 319 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 2: They have not used it. Instead, they've given a blank 320 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 2: check for more war powers. In the green room, every 321 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 2: single Trump supporter, Steve, every single Trump supporter when I 322 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 2: was during my year at CNN, pull me in the greenroom, 323 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 2: including Scott Jennings, all of them except two, Paris Dinard 324 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 2: and Jeffrey Lord, the weirdo he used to live with 325 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 2: his mom in the basement. Those were the only two 326 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 2: Republicans who seemed like true believers. Steve, hand on my heart. 327 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 2: Every other person in the green rooms that he's an idiot. 328 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 2: His base are idiots. I can't believe. Of course you 329 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 2: are live. Donald Trump made a good point. Don't take 330 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 2: him literally and seriously, you're up to that real quick. 331 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 2: I just had to go on that. 332 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:37,959 Speaker 4: Rant to an age of epic cowardice, of selfishness, of greed. 333 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 4: These are despicable, villainous people, and I think the High 334 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 4: Court of History is going to judge them. 335 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:47,400 Speaker 1: Very, very harshly. 336 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 4: We have wound up in a crisis in this country, 337 00:21:56,119 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 4: gay by day over twelve years time. I mean, anytime 338 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 4: you watch a movie, right, you watch a World War 339 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 4: two movie, you watch something that is hard to watch, 340 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 4: a Shindler's List, you know that it's going to end, 341 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 4: and it's going to end in three hours time. But 342 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,120 Speaker 4: in the real nineteen forty two, the real nineteen forty three, 343 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,199 Speaker 4: those days lasted as long as these days do today. 344 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 4: Twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. People 345 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 4: get married, people die, people get divorced, they have kids, 346 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 4: they celebrate birthdays, they get married, Life goes on. But 347 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 4: there's been this erosion of every value of basic right 348 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 4: and wrong that have suddenly become fungible in the society. 349 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:05,239 Speaker 4: And everything that we talk about has a level of 350 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 4: artifice and pretense to it. Because Marco Rubio is an actor. 351 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 4: They all are. Because we know what Marco Rubio said 352 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:26,679 Speaker 4: about Trump that you just referenced in twenty sixteen and 353 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:31,640 Speaker 4: after and all of them, and that they laugh behind 354 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 4: the scenes and everyone in the green room knows that. 355 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 4: Everyone in the media knows that, but they're in on 356 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 4: the joke. They're in on the show. In the meanwhile, Really, 357 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 4: the greatest idea in human history, the United States of America, 358 00:23:51,160 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 4: has become deeply imperiled by that detritus, that toxic that 359 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:15,160 Speaker 4: spills out of this show. That Markarubio cannot ever split 360 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 4: the difference between what he used to say and what 361 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:23,360 Speaker 4: he does now. And there's no way to get there. 362 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 4: There's no way to look at the long arc of 363 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:34,120 Speaker 4: a Ronald Reagan's career. For example, you understand through hundreds 364 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 4: and hundreds of speeches, how Ronald Reagan went from an 365 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 4: FDR democrat to the Ronald Dragon of nineteen eighty. There's 366 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 4: no way to do that with Lindsey Graham. There's no evolution. 367 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 4: It is the fundamental embrace of everything that they want, 368 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 4: a posed for the sake of one thing, relevance and power. 369 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: That was his quote. Why are you doing it? 370 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 2: He said, relevance his exact words, And he said, it's 371 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 2: so shamelessly and nakedly, folks. But I try to be 372 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 2: equal opportunity here, Steve. When people do good, I praise 373 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 2: them when they do bad. This includes the Democrats. I 374 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 2: want to give you Chuck Schumer's response. Wait before I do, 375 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 2: let me tell you a fascinating split that's happening if 376 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 2: you've noticed so, while the Republican reeks in the House 377 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 2: and Senate are still firmly lodged inside Donald Trump's anus 378 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 2: in chewing his gum for him. Pardon everyone for that 379 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 2: metaphor and that analogy. But if I had to imagine it, 380 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 2: now you have to imagine it. We've seen a massive 381 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 2: break as of today. I don't know if you notice, 382 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 2: but Alex Jones is openly calling for the twenty fifth Amendment. 383 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 2: Candice Owens is calling for the twenty fifth Amendment, Margore 384 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 2: tailed Green is calling for the twenty fifth Amendment. Megan 385 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,440 Speaker 2: Kelly has broken with them, and Tucker Carlson yesterday broke 386 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 2: with him and said things, Honestly, a white nationalist piece 387 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 2: of shit racist clock can be right twice a day, folks. 388 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 2: I'm the most critical person of Tucker Carlson, but this 389 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 2: is a weakness for Democrats. And I mentioned yesterday. I 390 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:11,679 Speaker 2: got a lot of heat on Twitter, but a lot 391 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,160 Speaker 2: of people will appreciate it. I said what Tucker said 392 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 2: in the type of bold language mocking and ridiculing Donald 393 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 2: Trump for his Sunday address is what the type of 394 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 2: language Democrats should have used him defending Islam, even though 395 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 2: it's I know it's all opportunistic, Steve, but him saying, 396 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 2: you know, going against religion, war against religion. This is terrible, 397 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 2: this is wrong. What are you doing? This is profane 398 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 2: against Easter and Christians. Right, that type of language. The 399 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 2: lane is still wide open for Democrats to use that 400 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 2: type of language, all right. 401 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 1: They didn't do any of that. 402 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 2: And guess what, Steve, My warning that I've been warning with, 403 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 2: Steve schmid, well, warning with which you have to lead. 404 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 2: I got so many messages, folks, from so many disgruntled voters, 405 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 2: many of them Muslim, many of them Arab who many 406 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 2: of them even not Muslim Arab, who only get their 407 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 2: news in sound bites, in viral clipsky and over the 408 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 2: past year, guess what they've been saying That Candice owns, 409 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 2: she's onto something. That Tucker Carlson, he's turned the page. 410 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 2: That Marjorie Taylor Green, you know what. They all suck anyway, 411 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 2: But at least she's standing up against genocide. It's America folks, 412 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 2: we have the attention span of nets. It's the United 413 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 2: States of Amnesia, Corn to Gorvidal. And this is Chuck 414 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 2: Schumer proving my point today. Literally, we spent twenty seven 415 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 2: minutes talking about the very real, viable threat of nuclear war. 416 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 2: We've tried to be robust and passionate in our response 417 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 2: to it. Right, Chuck Schumer in response to Donald Trump's 418 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 2: tooth social post folks that I read earlier today were 419 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 2: literally he said he civilization will die tonight. Never do 420 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:48,439 Speaker 2: blacka bat again. Chuck Schumer says, this is an extremely 421 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 2: sick person. Each Republican her refuses to join us in 422 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 2: voting against this wanton war of choice owns every consequence 423 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 2: of whatever the This. 424 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 1: Is exact quote response by Chuck Schumer. Steve. 425 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 4: One of the things that I have no expectation of 426 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 4: the Republicans, none whatsoever, and I have all the hope 427 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:30,199 Speaker 4: of the converted of the immigrant to the Democratic Party. 428 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 4: So there's an old saying, and I think it's true 429 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 4: in politics that there's nothing that breeds contempt like proximity. 430 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 4: So when I look at the Republican Party, I see 431 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 4: the corpse of a dead squirrel, right until it is 432 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 4: burned to the ground, to the ground, and I think 433 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 4: at some level these institutions, both parties are big enough 434 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 4: that they're too big to fit. If the Democratic Party 435 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 4: could survive slavery, I think the Republican Party is a 436 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 4: brand maybe able to survive Trump. 437 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: But I don't. 438 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 2: But I don't know, I don't think so I agree 439 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 2: with you. I think it has to be burned to 440 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 2: the ground. 441 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 4: Right, but burned to the ground, burned to the ground. Democrats, 442 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 4: depending on what the candidate mix is in twenty twenty eight, 443 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 4: are going to have to look back to twenty twenty four. 444 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 4: And the reality of this is just objectively in a room, 445 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 4: and you think about that cable news green room that 446 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 4: you brought the audience into and all that hypocrisy that 447 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 4: it takes place, just some basic real talk is and. 448 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: I'm not talking. 449 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 4: I'm not trying to indict Democrats, democratic voters, normal people. 450 00:29:54,000 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 4: I'm not making a indictment of progressives. This is in 451 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 4: an ideological argument. But the political leadership of the party 452 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 4: that Chuck Schumer is a chief amongst all of those. 453 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: People, has lot leftists he don't lump them with us, 454 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 1: has lost two. 455 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 4: Out of three elections to MAGA and precipitated one of 456 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 4: the great crises in the country and maybe the great 457 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 4: greatest since secession, since since the Confederacy. And then in 458 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 4: opposition for a year plus until very recently Chuck Schumer 459 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 4: appeased him over and over and over again. 460 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 1: And stood up. 461 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 4: A national police force, a secret police force, while Democrats 462 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 4: we were, were on their knees to this. And there's 463 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 4: a lot of great Democrats out there fighting Democrats, you know, 464 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 4: Jason Crow, AOC, Marjorie Startsbury. There are on the left 465 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 4: of the Democratic Party, in the center of the Democratic Party, 466 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 4: on the right of the Democratic Party. However you wish 467 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 4: to see it. The only issue that matters to me, 468 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 4: and I think the only fault line that exists is 469 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,719 Speaker 4: you either understand this threat or you do not. And 470 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 4: if you understand this threat, then it aligns you on 471 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 4: a set of issues that have to be embraced in 472 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 4: order to defeat the threat, and that starts with ethics 473 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 4: reform and a legislation pile up that's appropriate for the 474 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 4: work of clean up on Isle USA, which is going 475 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 4: to be immense. I mean, just purging the religious and 476 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 4: notttery out of the Department of the Fast Well that alone. 477 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 2: I talked about it yesterday with Julie Ingersoll. Folks, please 478 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 2: go back and listen to my conversation.

They are playing for all the marbles. It's 482 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 2: a type of Christian dominionism.

The kech sets the Christian Zionists, the 501 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 2: friggin of Mike Huckabees, and then the Benjamin Niel who 502 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 2: comes in and coddles him. Right, we're not making the 503 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 2: sub folks. If you don't believe me, believe the experts, 504 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 2: and also believe the evidence of your eyes and ears. 505 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 2: I don't have you for that much time, Steve, but 506 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 2: I do want to ask you this because history is 507 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 2: coinciding at a really amazing moment, and I'm a nerd 508 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 2: that keeps receipts. I remember you might remember this ten 509 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 2: years ago. Steve Bannon, who apparently is just going to 510 00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 2: get out of jail free thanks to the crib Supreme 511 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 2: Court said Victor Orbon was Trump before Trump. Victor Orbon, 512 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 2: for those who don't follow, is the president. I put 513 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:14,759 Speaker 2: in quotation marks of Hungary through his party Fidez, he 514 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 2: has implemented a single party rule. Hungary is no longer 515 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 2: a democracy. It's a cosplay democracy. It has authoritarian rule. 516 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,319 Speaker 2: And in the past ten years, Orbon what he has 517 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,400 Speaker 2: done is through his single party, taken over the judiciary, 518 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 2: taken over the universities, taken over culture, crushed opposition and 519 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 2: wait for it, engage in a type of kleptocracy where 520 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 2: surprised Eve Orbon and his friends have made money while 521 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,240 Speaker 2: raping and pillaging the country. Now leading the mass protests 522 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 2: where people are pissed off that this mother effort promised 523 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 2: to make them great again, but he got rich. So 524 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 2: as these protests are happening, we found out a few 525 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:57,680 Speaker 2: weeks ago that Russia was conspiring to fake stage, stage 526 00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:02,400 Speaker 2: of fake assassination of the election to help Orbon, just 527 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 2: throwing it out there. And today, as all the chaos 528 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 2: is happening, Steve, can you tell us where our Vice 529 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:09,439 Speaker 2: President jd. 530 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:13,719 Speaker 1: Vance, the Catholic is? Yeah? 531 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 4: Is he with Victor Orbon? 532 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 2: He's with Victor Orbon. And thirty minutes ago Donald Trump 533 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 2: decided to call in while he is campaigning for Victor 534 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 2: Orbon and Hungary Victor. 535 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 4: Orbon is the fetish idol of the Claremont Institute set 536 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:40,400 Speaker 4: and the Maga fascists, and the Orbon visits to Seapack 537 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:45,239 Speaker 4: in Dallas in twenty two and Seapac being hosted in 538 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 4: Buddha Pest in twenty two and twenty three, Tucker Carlson 539 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 4: going over there. You know, this is the model for 540 00:35:56,160 --> 00:36:01,120 Speaker 4: what Trump is doing, what Victor Orbon calls illiberal democracy. 541 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 4: And the reality is that Victor Orbon may be on 542 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:09,720 Speaker 4: the end of his end of his time in Hungary. 543 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 4: You have a voter rebellion finally, at long last underway 544 00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 4: that looks like it may be coming together to remove him, 545 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 4: to remove him from power. And last thing, I'll just 546 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 4: say that we were just talking about all this. You know, 547 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 4: there are three main types of religious nuts in the world. 548 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 4: There is the Muslim religious nut, which is the religious 549 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 4: nut that in the United States we've spent the majority 550 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 4: of time talking about over the last twenty years. But 551 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 4: there's also the Christian religious nut, and that is the 552 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:53,280 Speaker 4: most dangerous religious nut if you live in the United States, 553 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:57,799 Speaker 4: to your liberty, to your freedom, to your security, to 554 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,880 Speaker 4: peace on the streets. And there are Jewish relige religious nuts. 555 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:06,080 Speaker 4: And we live in a time where where Donald Trump 556 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:14,759 Speaker 4: has empowered all of the extremists with his extremists. And 557 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,880 Speaker 4: it used to be and I always always with you 558 00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,680 Speaker 4: know Muslim friends, you'd always joke around with them, you know, 559 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:26,520 Speaker 4: when the demand would go out, uh for the mass 560 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:30,960 Speaker 4: apology every after every act of extremism, right, like every 561 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:35,680 Speaker 4: normal Muslim guy has some obligation to condemn you know 562 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,400 Speaker 4: what some some nut job did, like some you know, 563 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 4: ordinary Catholic and Peoria should be condemning, you know, whatever 564 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:48,319 Speaker 4: Pastor Doug Wilson is saying. And it's it's all, it's 565 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:52,240 Speaker 4: all madness. But when you look at somebody like Pete 566 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:58,280 Speaker 4: Hegsath who's using the language of the Crusades and calling 567 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:04,279 Speaker 4: for religious and civilizational war, and you look at the 568 00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:09,880 Speaker 4: rejoicing of every extremist in the world, you have to 569 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 4: sit there and ask yourself, like, in this moment that 570 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 4: we have, we have two and a half more years 571 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 4: of this YEP with with him, with him as with 572 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,839 Speaker 4: him as president, and he's about to have a big 573 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:28,560 Speaker 4: check on him with a with a Democratic Congress.

And here I was talking to Julie yesterday saying, 587 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:21,480 Speaker 2: can you imagine if I don't know? Mamdani literally said 588 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:25,880 Speaker 2: like Pete Heg said, yeah, I follow this guy who 589 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:27,960 Speaker 2: doesn't believe in the separation of church and state, and 590 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,520 Speaker 2: wants to make America into a Muslim nation, and believes 591 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,840 Speaker 2: in Muslim dominionism and has something called the Seven Mountains 592 00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,280 Speaker 2: Mandate project where we openly want to take over the 593 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 2: seven sectors of society.

And the final thing 597 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:51,600 Speaker 2: I want to ask you, because you brought up of 598 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,760 Speaker 2: the next election, I don't think this is my prediction, 599 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 2: because I trust the evidence of my eyes and ears. 600 00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:57,799 Speaker 1: I'm not a fool. 601 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 2: I believe very strong and I hope I'm wrong, and 602 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,479 Speaker 2: if I am wrong, I will gladly eat Halal Krul. 603 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 2: Donald Trump is not leaving legally or peacefully if he's alive, 604 00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,120 Speaker 2: and I do not understand why this is not being 605 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,960 Speaker 2: talked about and why we're not preparing for this inevitable 606 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,239 Speaker 2: reality of him not leaving legally and peacefully. 607 00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:23,759 Speaker 4: Your response, he will leave, he will leave, and we 608 00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:28,680 Speaker 4: should talk about it on another occasion. I'll just I 609 00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 4: think one of the biggest mistakes the Democrats are making 610 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:36,560 Speaker 4: right now is playing into this idea that Donald Trump 611 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:42,520 Speaker 4: has it within him, either the power too or the 612 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,160 Speaker 4: authority to suspend the elections. 613 00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:46,080 Speaker 1: He does not. 614 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 4: We will have elections, and our elections are free and fair. 615 00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:55,400 Speaker 4: And the commentary that goes on on Fox News is 616 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,480 Speaker 4: not in pain John reality. We have free and fair elections. 617 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,640 Speaker 4: We're going to have and fair elections, and he's going 618 00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:07,239 Speaker 4: to be rebuked massively, and there's going to be a 619 00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:13,520 Speaker 4: Democratic Congress. The Trump project has failed. He's at a 620 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 4: roughly thirty percent approval. The lowest he can go is 621 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:23,040 Speaker 4: twenty six percent. We're going to have three years of 622 00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:28,279 Speaker 4: chaos in this country. He's got a blood lust, a 623 00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:33,000 Speaker 4: taste for war in his in his mouth. He's going 624 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,319 Speaker 4: to break the American military over the next over the 625 00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:40,560 Speaker 4: next two years, like he's broken every institution in the country. 626 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:46,120 Speaker 4: Then we're going to have to imagine very seriously the 627 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:51,400 Speaker 4: exact moment when when Donald Trump leaves power at noon 628 00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,520 Speaker 4: on the twentieth, the January of twenty twenty nine. We 629 00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,520 Speaker 4: can't ever allow ourselves to think that he is some 630 00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:03,000 Speaker 4: supernatural power. Agree, he's gonna barricade himself in there he's 631 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:08,840 Speaker 4: going and when he goes right, it opens the first issue. 632 00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:15,960 Speaker 4: And I mean this is that cash fetel. When the 633 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:21,480 Speaker 4: new president takes the oath of office, what happens is, right, 634 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:26,000 Speaker 4: he swears the thirty five word oath or shake shakes 635 00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,319 Speaker 4: the hand of the Chief Justice, and then they do 636 00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 4: four ruffles and flourishes, which are the Da Da Da Da. 637 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,120 Speaker 4: Then they play Hail to the Chief and twenty one 638 00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:42,440 Speaker 4: gun salute takes about five minutes. New presidents should have 639 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:46,759 Speaker 4: time to do at least ten executive orders, right, and 640 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:50,359 Speaker 4: the first one before a word comes out of their 641 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:58,520 Speaker 4: mouth is to seal cash Fateel's office and fire him. 642 00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:04,879 Speaker 4: If Trump's playing is somehow in the air at twelve noon, 643 00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:08,760 Speaker 4: because he won't be at the ceremony, the plane should 644 00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,520 Speaker 4: be turned around to Andrew's Air Force Base and land, 645 00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:13,439 Speaker 4: and he can walk out to the gate and call 646 00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:18,240 Speaker 4: for an uber. His Katari plane should be seized later 647 00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:22,920 Speaker 4: in that day. And we have to talk with confidence 648 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:28,520 Speaker 4: and conviction about what's going to happen. About the first 649 00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:32,680 Speaker 4: meeting with the tech executives gathered together in the Roosevelt Room, 650 00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:38,160 Speaker 4: about the first meeting of the law firm presidents in 651 00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:42,800 Speaker 4: the Roosevelt Room, About the first meeting with the media 652 00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:48,960 Speaker 4: executives in the Roosevelt Room.
