Speaker 1: It is the ninth of January twenty twenty five, and
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is eleven days away from raising his right
Speaker 1: hand and swearing the presidential oath that will make him
Speaker 1: head of State and commander in chief. This is the
Speaker 1: warning Maga lieutenants are ecstatic. They are full of themselves.
Speaker 1: Consider this arrogance by the buffoon who holds the eight
Speaker 1: o'clock hour on Fox News, Jesse Waters speaking to Premier
Speaker 1: Doug Ford, the equivalent of an American governor on Fox
Speaker 1: News last night.
Speaker 2: You say that Americans don't have a problem with Canadians,
Speaker 2: and we don't, but it seems like you have a
Speaker 2: problem with us, because if I were a citizen of
Speaker 2: another country and I was a neighbor of the United States,
Speaker 2: I would consider it a privilege to be taken over
Speaker 2: by the United States of America. That's what everybody else
Speaker 2: in the world wants. American citizenship. For some reason, that's
Speaker 2: repellent to you Canadians, and I find that personally offensive.
Speaker 1: Premiere, if you had any pride working at Fox News,
Speaker 1: if you got up in the morning and went to work,
Speaker 1: even if you were the most committed MAGA propagandist, does
Speaker 1: this not embarrass you, the lack of dignity, the assault
Speaker 1: on an elected premier of Ontario. The insult begins right
Speaker 1: from the beginning. His brother was the deceased Rob Ford,
Speaker 1: the mayor of Toronto with a notorious drug problem. Jesse
Speaker 1: Waters isn't offering condolences or being friendly. He's being cruel,
Speaker 1: all right, Premiere.
Speaker 2: By the way, I loved your brother. We did an interview,
Speaker 2: great guy.
Speaker 1: Canada will never be the fifty first state because Canada
Speaker 1: is a great nation and every American president who has
Speaker 1: had a Canadian partner has understood that this is the
Speaker 1: forty ninth parallel. It's the boundary line between the United
Speaker 1: States and Canada and marks the longest undefended border in
Speaker 1: world history. What the Canadian people need or leaders who
Speaker 1: will remind the American people that we are friends, but
Speaker 1: we are two nations. Canadian leaders shouldn't take Trump's bait,
Speaker 1: but they shouldn't be a doormat either, because every person
Speaker 1: who gets on their knees in front of Donald Trump
Speaker 1: gets rolled over. One of the biggest mistakes of this
Speaker 1: era is the license that Donald Trump has been given
Speaker 1: because the Democratic Party's position has been if you're against
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. That's enough. And Donald Trump feeds off of
Speaker 1: the incompetence, and he feeds off of the stupidity, and
Speaker 1: he feeds off of the hypocrisy of his opposition, which
Speaker 1: he's defeated to take power. Donald Trump's rise to power
Speaker 1: as a tragedy. The Democrats allowing him to do it
Speaker 1: is the greatest failure in American political history. They lost
Speaker 1: an election to the most un fit man there is,
Speaker 1: and the seventy six million voters who voted against Maga
Speaker 1: should be irate about it. Problems of the Democratic Party
Speaker 1: are deep, not just at the presidential level. This is
Speaker 1: a historic day in the United States. We learned about
Speaker 1: the San Francisco Fire of nineteen oh six in our
Speaker 1: history books following the earthquake. This fire in Los Angeles
Speaker 1: is its equivalent. The city is burning. When the fire
Speaker 1: is out, and the images of scene or the damage
Speaker 1: it will boggle the mind of the American people. This
Speaker 1: is Mayor Karen Bass arriving back in the United States
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, days after the inferno has begun, arriving
Speaker 1: back from her junket in Africa in Ghana.
Speaker 3: Do you owe citizens an apology for being absent while
Speaker 3: their homes were burning. Do you regret coming the fire
Speaker 3: department budget by millions of dovers? Mount of mayor? Have
Speaker 3: you nothing to say today? Have you absolutely nothing to
Speaker 3: say to the citizens today?
Speaker 1: Is very important to understand before she left, the National
Speaker 1: Weather Service was advising the dangerous wins that they were
Speaker 1: advising the dangerous conditions. The mayor had no business leaving
Speaker 1: the city or leaving the state. She was derelict, and
Speaker 1: yet the instinct of many is to cheer her as
Speaker 1: if she's a pop star, as opposed to an elected
Speaker 1: official with life and death responsibilities who failed miserably. Papers
Speaker 1: are filled with reports that Matt Gates may run for
Speaker 1: governor of Florida. Comes a couple of days after weather
Speaker 1: experts said that there's a new storm category A Category
Speaker 1: six States most likely to be hit by a Category
Speaker 1: six hurricane include Florida. And who would want mac Gates
Speaker 1: on the bridge when it hits. I remember being the
Speaker 1: Bush White House during Katrina, watching the incompetence of Michael Brown,
Speaker 1: Governor Kathleen Blanco, Mayor Ray Nagan all accumulate during a
Speaker 1: terrible disaster to cause immense suffering that should not have happened.
Speaker 1: The Democratic Party should demand of its elected officials that
Speaker 1: they be the best, in the brightest of their generation.
Speaker 1: It's going to take that to beat back what's coming
Speaker 1: down the road. I know there are people out there
Speaker 1: hoping for the best, to think that maybe it won't
Speaker 1: be so bad. But when you watch Jesse Waters, your
Speaker 1: instinct and common sense should tell you it's going to
Speaker 1: be worse than you thought. This era is coming to
Speaker 1: an end, ceding to a terrible new one that will
Speaker 1: require a tough, a decent opposition that can answer a question.
Speaker 1: Why can't the mayor talk here? Why can't she speak?
Speaker 3: Mother? Mayor? Have you absolutely nothing to say to the
Speaker 3: citizens today? You're dealing with this disaster, no apology for them.
Speaker 3: Do you think you should have been visiting Ghana while
Speaker 3: this was unfolding back home?
Speaker 1: This is the person in charge of the emergency response.
Speaker 1: It's incredible and it's tragic. It's sick in away. Until
Speaker 1: we demand better, we will not get it. And unless
Speaker 1: we demand competence, the American people will not see it.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is going to fill the government of the
Speaker 1: United States with mega versions of Karen Paths. These people
Speaker 1: together are a menagerie of unfitness, the likes of which
Speaker 1: has never been assembled, and there will be a crisis
Speaker 1: like the burning of Los Angeles. And in the situation
Speaker 1: room and in the councils of government, where life and
Speaker 1: death decisions are made, there will be a round cable
Speaker 1: of fools sitting together who do not care about you,
Speaker 1: who do not care about your family, who do not
Speaker 1: care about their country, who do not care about the future.
Speaker 1: They just care about their power and taking as much
Speaker 1: as they can get from it. Power to them is
Speaker 1: a right to take, not to give, not to serve,
Speaker 1: not to fight for you. Jeff Bezos has greenlit a
Speaker 1: forty million dollar docu Henry about Millennia. No one will
Speaker 1: watch it. She may be the least interesting person in
Speaker 1: the country, yet forty million. Why It's to pay off
Speaker 1: to Trump's ego from the richest man in the world,
Speaker 1: so he gets to continue to do whatever he likes.
Speaker 1: Sold out as readers at the Washington Post, just like
Speaker 1: Trump will sell out the voters who voted for him.
Speaker 1: In the end, Democratic Party will have another primary. We'll
Speaker 1: pick another candidate to go up against him, this time
Speaker 1: in the form of JD. Vans, who will be even tougher.
Speaker 1: Who is the person who's going to rise in this country,
Speaker 1: who has the capacity to speak, to connect, and to
Speaker 1: call out the malice, the idiocy, the stupidity, and the incompetence.
Speaker 1: Los Angeles is burning and it didn't have to decades
Speaker 1: of poor land management, lack of imagination among fire officials
Speaker 1: about the potential for a catastrophe like this. There'll be
Speaker 1: plenty of time to review it all, but the extreme
Speaker 1: weather and the idiocy of the politicians is combining to
Speaker 1: create profound danger for all Americans. Eleven days from now,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump will start the burning. He's going to burn
Speaker 1: our institutions. He's going to burn the idea that we're connected.
Speaker 1: He's going to burn down the idea that nations have
Speaker 1: allies and that America is allies share values. He's going
Speaker 1: to allow his cronies to take as much as they
Speaker 1: can suck up out of the trough. Twenty twenty five
Speaker 1: is off to a terrible start in the United States.
Speaker 1: It began with terror attacks. It began with dishonesty in
Speaker 1: the media, political incompetence, the burning of Los Angeles, the
Speaker 1: moral capitulations of some of the most powerful people in
Speaker 1: the country, to malice, to indecency, to bullying. Donald Trump
Speaker 1: is still eleven days away from walking out onto a
Speaker 1: dias in delivering an inaugural address that will shock the
Speaker 1: conscience of the world. In this nation, get ready, there
Speaker 1: are hard days ahead. This is the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt.
Speaker 1: This is the warning, and I invite you to join.
