WEBVTT - Predicting The Blue Tsunami | Steve Schmidt

0:00:00.110 --> 0:00:01.670
<v Speaker 1>This is The Warning.

0:00:02.770 --> 0:00:06.600
<v Speaker 2>There have been other elections where there have been wipeouts,

0:00:07.160 --> 0:00:12.160
<v Speaker 2>where a political tsunami has landed on the beach and

0:00:12.260 --> 0:00:22.760
<v Speaker 2>headed inland in 1974. in 1980, famously in 1994, in 2006.

0:00:23.140 --> 0:00:30.320
<v Speaker 2>In 2026, there will be a tsunami that outdoes them all.

0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:35.379
<v Speaker 2>In Ohio, we're going to see a Democratic governor and

0:00:35.700 --> 0:00:38.840
<v Speaker 2>the return of Sherrod Brown to the United States Senate.

0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:42.030
<v Speaker 2>In the state of Iowa, we're going to see a

0:00:42.110 --> 0:00:47.430
<v Speaker 2>Democratic governor and a Democratic senator. But it's more than that.

0:00:47.909 --> 0:00:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Up and down the ballot, at every level, MAGA will

0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:57.500
<v Speaker 2>be wiped out in this coming election. They will be

0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:02.410
<v Speaker 2>wiped out in town council elections, in school board elections,

0:01:02.690 --> 0:01:04.869
<v Speaker 2>in state legislative seats.

0:01:05.470 --> 0:01:09.010
<v Speaker 1>And it will be the beginning of the end of the.

0:01:09.010 --> 0:01:14.910
<v Speaker 2>Most dangerous and vile political movement in American history. We

0:01:15.010 --> 0:01:19.290
<v Speaker 2>are thrilled to have with us Josh Turek, the Democratic

0:01:19.390 --> 0:01:23.490
<v Speaker 2>nominee for the United States Senate in the great state

0:01:23.569 --> 0:01:29.320
<v Speaker 2>of Iowa, having just won his party's nomination. And for

0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:33.399
<v Speaker 2>everybody who is with us today and who will be

0:01:33.459 --> 0:01:38.680
<v Speaker 2>watching later, this is a real pickup opportunity for Democrats.

0:01:39.220 --> 0:01:40.120
<v Speaker 1>I think that.

0:01:39.940 --> 0:01:44.620
<v Speaker 2>Josh Turek has an outstanding chance of being Senator Turek

0:01:45.500 --> 0:01:51.450
<v Speaker 2>or more precisely, Senator-elect Turek in 150 days. Josh, how

0:01:51.470 --> 0:01:52.870
<v Speaker 2>are you doing? I'm feeling great.

0:01:52.910 --> 0:01:54.690
<v Speaker 3>It's good to be back with you. Thanks for having me.

0:01:55.850 --> 0:01:57.210
<v Speaker 1>So how's it feel out there?

0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:02.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm feeling good. We worked really hard for 10 months.

0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:04.919
<v Speaker 3>We got all over the state, urban areas, rural areas,

0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:08.120
<v Speaker 3>and we heard from Iowans all over the place that

0:02:08.460 --> 0:02:10.380
<v Speaker 3>they're ready for change, both at the state level and

0:02:10.410 --> 0:02:12.090
<v Speaker 3>at the federal level. This is a state that has

0:02:12.130 --> 0:02:15.649
<v Speaker 3>really bottomed out. People are struggling just to keep food

0:02:15.710 --> 0:02:17.929
<v Speaker 3>on the table, pay their electric bill, and keep a

0:02:17.950 --> 0:02:21.610
<v Speaker 3>roof above their head, and they're ready for change. And

0:02:21.710 --> 0:02:25.660
<v Speaker 3>so our message of genuine prairie populism really resonated with people,

0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:28.150
<v Speaker 3>and I'm I'm really, really honored that so many people

0:02:28.190 --> 0:02:30.250
<v Speaker 3>entrusted me with their vote. We were able to win

0:02:30.250 --> 0:02:35.410
<v Speaker 3>96 of 99 counties, nearly a 26 point margin. And

0:02:35.430 --> 0:02:38.290
<v Speaker 3>now we've got an amazing opportunity, got 150 days here

0:02:38.990 --> 0:02:40.549
<v Speaker 3>to win this election. And if we can win this

0:02:40.610 --> 0:02:42.889
<v Speaker 3>election here, we can not only change the state of Iowa,

0:02:43.410 --> 0:02:44.270
<v Speaker 3>we can change this country.

0:02:44.310 --> 0:02:45.210
<v Speaker 1>You're going to win this race.

0:02:46.010 --> 0:02:48.690
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's an easy win, but I think

0:02:48.750 --> 0:02:52.060
<v Speaker 2>his number is due. And I think you're running a

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:57.230
<v Speaker 2>great campaign and I'll verify what you said as not

0:02:57.270 --> 0:03:00.269
<v Speaker 2>being BS. This is a winnable race with a deeply

0:03:00.370 --> 0:03:07.100
<v Speaker 2>flawed candidate in South Carolina who's never really been rooted

0:03:07.180 --> 0:03:11.620
<v Speaker 2>to the state in the way that historically, some South

0:03:11.660 --> 0:03:16.160
<v Speaker 2>Carolina politicians have managed to do. One of the things

0:03:16.820 --> 0:03:21.590
<v Speaker 2>that will be long discussed, talked about, debated for decades,

0:03:22.169 --> 0:03:25.169
<v Speaker 2>is how, why did people get on board with this?

0:03:25.570 --> 0:03:29.209
<v Speaker 2>How could it be that a great nation succumbed to

0:03:29.250 --> 0:03:29.910
<v Speaker 2>this idiot?

0:03:30.290 --> 0:03:31.250
<v Speaker 1>And yet it happened.

0:03:31.620 --> 0:03:36.180
<v Speaker 2>The elites of the country, so corrupt, so hollow, one

0:03:36.220 --> 0:03:40.000
<v Speaker 2>by one, and then by the thousands, got on their

0:03:40.060 --> 0:03:44.780
<v Speaker 2>knees and surrendered to the wrong against the right. Over

0:03:44.820 --> 0:03:49.100
<v Speaker 2>and over again, decency lost to Trumpism. And so here

0:03:49.140 --> 0:03:53.200
<v Speaker 2>we are, about two months away from an election where

0:03:53.220 --> 0:03:57.559
<v Speaker 2>the American people will rise up and repudiate this ADSC

0:03:57.980 --> 0:04:01.070
<v Speaker 2>and vote it out. And that tsunami is coming. A

0:04:01.090 --> 0:04:04.270
<v Speaker 2>lot of Republicans don't seem to understand it. They should

0:04:04.290 --> 0:04:07.910
<v Speaker 2>look at this video from Nepal, because that's what's coming.

0:04:08.350 --> 0:04:11.870
<v Speaker 2>And when you see a Republican member of Congress talking

0:04:11.930 --> 0:04:16.330
<v Speaker 2>about surviving the wave, they're like this person, trying to

0:04:16.410 --> 0:04:17.770
<v Speaker 2>run ahead of it.

0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:19.740
<v Speaker 4>Oh my God.

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:20.740
<v Speaker 5>Oh boy.

0:04:20.779 --> 0:04:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Come on, guys, come.

0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:24.510
<v Speaker 3>On.

0:04:34.190 --> 0:04:34.850
<v Speaker 6>Oh, my God.

0:04:34.930 --> 0:04:35.390
<v Speaker 7>Oh, my God.

0:04:36.170 --> 0:04:40.190
<v Speaker 2>But unlike the innocent man in the orange, these people

0:04:40.270 --> 0:04:43.500
<v Speaker 2>are the cause of that great wave. And it will

0:04:43.540 --> 0:04:47.780
<v Speaker 2>destroy them, their careers, their party, their aspirations. And it

0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:49.240
<v Speaker 2>is just and.

0:04:49.140 --> 0:04:49.739
<v Speaker 1>It is right.

0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:55.500
<v Speaker 2>Because MAGA has betrayed the United States.

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.140
<v Speaker 1>And 330 million people.

0:04:56.500 --> 0:05:00.810
<v Speaker 2>They have betrayed our ancestors and they have betrayed our descendants.

0:05:01.460 --> 0:05:05.300
<v Speaker 2>who one day, no doubt, will swim in Lake Ontario

0:05:05.580 --> 0:05:09.430
<v Speaker 2>and splash about. And maybe, just maybe, one of them

0:05:09.820 --> 0:05:13.270
<v Speaker 2>may recall a piece of trivia about the venality of

0:05:13.330 --> 0:05:17.089
<v Speaker 2>the great imbecile who became president and tried to change

0:05:17.150 --> 0:05:20.830
<v Speaker 2>the name one day on a late August afternoon in

0:05:20.870 --> 0:05:25.600
<v Speaker 2>a temper tantrum to Lake America. It won't stand. All

0:05:25.620 --> 0:05:29.740
<v Speaker 2>of this is going down. The American people are going

0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.469
<v Speaker 2>to burn it down. And that's the right thing to do.

0:05:32.810 --> 0:05:34.789
<v Speaker 2>MAGA is coming.

0:05:34.890 --> 0:05:38.930
<v Speaker 1>To its conclusion. And what a disaster it's going to be.

0:05:39.370 --> 0:05:42.330
<v Speaker 2>This is Ken Paxton, who spent much of the summer

0:05:42.350 --> 0:05:45.229
<v Speaker 2>gallivanting about Europe with his mistress.

0:05:45.650 --> 0:05:47.510
<v Speaker 1>Now, he's back on Fox.

0:05:47.830 --> 0:05:51.080
<v Speaker 2>And he's losing a race to James Tallarico, who's going

0:05:51.140 --> 0:05:54.360
<v Speaker 2>to be the Democratic senator from Texas because of this.

0:05:55.260 --> 0:06:01.850
<v Speaker 7>Paxton's net worth has increased 7,000%. He now owns 15 homes,

0:06:02.050 --> 0:06:03.620
<v Speaker 7>while most Texans can't afford one.

0:06:04.820 --> 0:06:07.120
<v Speaker 8>Okay, so that was Tallarico's attack, but he wasn't the

0:06:07.170 --> 0:06:09.250
<v Speaker 8>first person to make it. It came up during the

0:06:09.290 --> 0:06:13.250
<v Speaker 8>primary as well. You know, Cornyn questioned how your personal

0:06:13.290 --> 0:06:17.110
<v Speaker 8>wealth exploded, as he put it, while holding public office

0:06:17.210 --> 0:06:20.330
<v Speaker 8>on a $ 153, 000 salary. You did refuse to answer some

0:06:20.370 --> 0:06:25.090
<v Speaker 8>questions about this portfolio last month. But now that the

0:06:25.110 --> 0:06:28.310
<v Speaker 8>Tallarico campaign appears to be making the allegation, there's some

0:06:28.510 --> 0:06:31.210
<v Speaker 8>ethical concern there. I want to ask you if there's

0:06:31.250 --> 0:06:33.070
<v Speaker 8>anything you want to say today to put that claim

0:06:33.110 --> 0:06:33.430
<v Speaker 8>to bed.

0:06:35.900 --> 0:06:39.200
<v Speaker 9>So yeah, I'm proud of what I did in private business.

0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:41.640
<v Speaker 9>As a practicing attorney, I had my own practice for

0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:44.720
<v Speaker 9>14 years, had my own businesses that I ran, all

0:06:44.740 --> 0:06:47.100
<v Speaker 9>the way up until I ran for Texas Attorney General,

0:06:47.140 --> 0:06:50.780
<v Speaker 9>because in the Texas legislature, we only make $ 600 a month.

0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:52.239
<v Speaker 1>So you have to have other jobs.

0:06:53.110 --> 0:06:55.510
<v Speaker 9>And so, you know, I was a successful lawyer, successful

0:06:55.550 --> 0:06:59.409
<v Speaker 9>business guy, and I tried to invest money. Unlike my opponent,

0:06:59.529 --> 0:07:02.620
<v Speaker 9>who has not been successful in anything, his job is

0:07:02.660 --> 0:07:05.640
<v Speaker 9>a consultant for schools. He's a DEI consultant.

0:07:06.510 --> 0:07:10.430
<v Speaker 2>You have a collection of freak shows in the North

0:07:10.490 --> 0:07:13.450
<v Speaker 2>and in the South, in the East and in the West.

0:07:13.930 --> 0:07:17.390
<v Speaker 2>And the American people can see it all clearly. Donald

0:07:17.430 --> 0:07:21.330
<v Speaker 2>Trump's approval numbers are at 30%, but nobody in the

0:07:21.370 --> 0:07:24.310
<v Speaker 2>White House can tell him that. In fact, the only

0:07:24.380 --> 0:07:27.200
<v Speaker 2>thing he can hear and the only thing anyone will

0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:30.660
<v Speaker 2>ever tell him is the answer to the problem is

0:07:30.740 --> 0:07:36.340
<v Speaker 2>more Trump, more posts, more tweets. More speeches, more nonsense,

0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.360
<v Speaker 2>and none of it will work. The first rule of

0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.870
<v Speaker 2>holes is when you find yourself in one, stop digging.

0:07:43.250 --> 0:07:45.429
<v Speaker 1>But this doesn't apply to MAGA.

0:07:45.870 --> 0:07:49.090
<v Speaker 2>Their theory of the hole is when in one, make

0:07:49.130 --> 0:07:52.790
<v Speaker 2>it deeper. And so dig they will, down, down, down,

0:07:53.170 --> 0:07:57.610
<v Speaker 2>until they will have dug their political graves from coast

0:07:57.870 --> 0:07:58.470
<v Speaker 2>to coast.

0:07:58.890 --> 0:07:59.680
<v Speaker 1>Elon Musk said.

0:08:00.130 --> 0:08:03.860
<v Speaker 2>Is spending his first dollars out of the millions that

0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:06.940
<v Speaker 2>he will flush down the toilet trying to keep these

0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:10.000
<v Speaker 2>MAGA fascists in power. By the way, do you recall

0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:14.220
<v Speaker 2>his Nazi salute day one? Elon Musk's money, he could

0:08:14.260 --> 0:08:17.880
<v Speaker 2>spend all trillion of it, won't help MAGA. Ken Paxton

0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:22.540
<v Speaker 2>in Texas is going down. In Maine, Susan Collins is

0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.470
<v Speaker 2>in big trouble. The Democrats are going to take the

0:08:25.490 --> 0:08:28.430
<v Speaker 2>House and they're going to take the Senate. And when

0:08:28.470 --> 0:08:31.890
<v Speaker 2>they do, they have some responsibilities in front of them,

0:08:31.950 --> 0:08:35.720
<v Speaker 2>some obligations. And the very first one is to save

0:08:36.150 --> 0:08:40.160
<v Speaker 2>the lives of American soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines by

0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:44.719
<v Speaker 2>getting rid of this buffoon. MAGA is collapsing politically all

0:08:44.980 --> 0:08:49.640
<v Speaker 2>over the country, but in Maine, Susan Collins has offered

0:08:49.660 --> 0:08:55.710
<v Speaker 2>them their battle cry, and it has resounded from west

0:08:56.010 --> 0:08:59.190
<v Speaker 2>to east, from north to south.

0:08:59.730 --> 0:09:04.630
<v Speaker 1>Let them eat rock salt. Who would have thunk it?

0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:11.300
<v Speaker 5>But I was successful in getting concrete, pulp, and road

0:09:11.420 --> 0:09:15.420
<v Speaker 5>salt removed from the tariff list.

0:09:16.179 --> 0:09:19.470
<v Speaker 2>Well, look, Mainers can't afford to pay their bills with

0:09:19.510 --> 0:09:24.150
<v Speaker 2>a press release or a strongly worded letter like Senator Collins.

0:09:24.250 --> 0:09:25.030
<v Speaker 6>Keeps talking about.

0:09:25.870 --> 0:09:28.410
<v Speaker 2>I didn't mock the fact that she got road salt back.

0:09:28.450 --> 0:09:30.309
<v Speaker 9>I mocked the fact that what about everything else?

0:09:30.890 --> 0:09:33.730
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we can't eat road salt. And the thing

0:09:33.770 --> 0:09:36.710
<v Speaker 2>about it is, is that everything that she's doing with

0:09:36.830 --> 0:09:38.609
<v Speaker 2>Iran war and stuff like that, there's going to be

0:09:38.650 --> 0:09:40.480
<v Speaker 2>so many less people that will be able to afford

0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:42.760
<v Speaker 2>to drive that I'm not even sure the road salt

0:09:42.780 --> 0:09:47.620
<v Speaker 2>is going to be worth anything either. MAGA is going down.

0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:53.110
<v Speaker 2>The debate performances of Trump sycophants from north to south,

0:09:53.190 --> 0:09:58.030
<v Speaker 2>from east to west, are an astonishing collection of where

0:09:58.290 --> 0:10:03.010
<v Speaker 2>the road has led for these people. I love the

0:10:03.070 --> 0:10:08.590
<v Speaker 2>John Kennedy quote from his inaugural, where he says, Beware

0:10:08.809 --> 0:10:14.020
<v Speaker 2>the foolish men who seek power by trying to ride

0:10:14.100 --> 0:10:18.420
<v Speaker 2>the back of the tiger only to wind up inside.

0:10:18.860 --> 0:10:22.520
<v Speaker 2>Here's Trump and the tiger from just a few days ago.

0:10:22.820 --> 0:10:27.359
<v Speaker 2>But of course, the insanity just keeps rolling. So we

0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:31.490
<v Speaker 2>forget about what happened yesterday and the day before. It

0:10:31.590 --> 0:10:37.670
<v Speaker 2>washes out in this great media filter. What's happened is

0:10:37.910 --> 0:10:41.960
<v Speaker 2>for two years, and you really have to think deeply

0:10:42.380 --> 0:10:46.720
<v Speaker 2>and hard to appreciate the arrogance of these people, to

0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:52.240
<v Speaker 2>think that they could abuse their offices, that they could

0:10:52.460 --> 0:10:58.939
<v Speaker 2>violate the law, the rights of ordinary Americans, and get

0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:02.859
<v Speaker 2>away with it, that they could sell parties, that they

0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:06.720
<v Speaker 2>could steal as much as they want. And in the

0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:11.020
<v Speaker 2>case of Kansas, you have a senator that is so

0:11:11.140 --> 0:11:16.650
<v Speaker 2>rotten he makes a garbage dump in July smell like

0:11:16.710 --> 0:11:21.870
<v Speaker 2>a perfume factory. Last night, karma caught up to Senator

0:11:21.929 --> 0:11:26.090
<v Speaker 2>Roger Marshall, who fled the building after the debate.

0:11:26.730 --> 0:11:28.410
<v Speaker 6>We interviewed Mr. Hamilton earlier.

0:11:28.770 --> 0:11:31.930
<v Speaker 7>We offered the same time here on our post-debate show

0:11:32.490 --> 0:11:33.330
<v Speaker 7>to Senator Marshall.

0:11:33.370 --> 0:11:35.010
<v Speaker 6>We understand he has left.

0:11:35.030 --> 0:11:38.570
<v Speaker 2>He's no longer in the building, so he's declined our offer.

0:11:39.580 --> 0:11:44.660
<v Speaker 2>By the time the dawn breaks tomorrow, power will have

0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:50.110
<v Speaker 2>been distributed. It will have been broken up. It will

0:11:50.570 --> 0:11:54.910
<v Speaker 2>never be the same again on Predator patio at Mar-a-Lago.

0:11:55.470 --> 0:12:00.080
<v Speaker 2>This election is about big things. It's about a federal

0:12:00.140 --> 0:12:03.680
<v Speaker 2>government that told the American people that a good woman

0:12:04.190 --> 0:12:08.189
<v Speaker 2>Rene Good was a domestic terrorist when an ICE agent

0:12:08.510 --> 0:12:11.270
<v Speaker 2>co-splaying as a Gestapo man shot her in the head

0:12:11.330 --> 0:12:14.550
<v Speaker 2>and called her a fucking bitch. The same with Alex Pratt.

0:12:14.580 --> 0:12:18.800
<v Speaker 2>He voted for him today. New polling says half of

0:12:18.820 --> 0:12:22.640
<v Speaker 2>the U.S. military wants to get out because it's been politicized.

0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:27.340
<v Speaker 2>Half hold the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hexeth, in complete contempt.

0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:32.000
<v Speaker 2>The debate over how much damage Trump could do has

0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:36.210
<v Speaker 2>been answered. a profound amount in a short time, and

0:12:36.230 --> 0:12:39.969
<v Speaker 2>he's not done yet. This is so important to understand.

0:12:40.490 --> 0:12:44.890
<v Speaker 2>MAGA will not be chastened tonight. It will be defeated,

0:12:45.410 --> 0:12:50.080
<v Speaker 2>but its remnant will be the hardcore of the hardcore,

0:12:50.140 --> 0:12:53.900
<v Speaker 2>the extreme of the extreme. It will be the highest

0:12:54.020 --> 0:12:58.540
<v Speaker 2>nuts in the old fruit tree. And the presidential campaign

0:12:58.620 --> 0:13:07.400
<v Speaker 2>cycle of 2028 is underway. After a devastating, crushing, historic

0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:12.900
<v Speaker 2>defeat of MAGA, Donald Trump was on the ballot. And

0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:18.189
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump has been not just defeated, but repudiated.

0:13:19.090 --> 0:13:20.230
<v Speaker 6>Hey, Dasha, how are you?

0:13:20.370 --> 0:13:20.790
<v Speaker 7>Hey, Mr.

0:13:20.830 --> 0:13:22.050
<v Speaker 1>President, I'm doing well.

0:13:22.090 --> 0:13:25.130
<v Speaker 2>You're on with me and my colleagues here at Politico.

0:13:25.170 --> 0:13:26.210
<v Speaker 1>I'm just wondering.

0:13:25.950 --> 0:13:27.010
<v Speaker 2>What's your message?

0:13:27.030 --> 0:13:28.550
<v Speaker 8>What do you think happened with your party tonight?

0:13:28.650 --> 0:13:34.200
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't on the ballot, and we didn't get the people.

0:13:34.020 --> 0:13:35.620
<v Speaker 6>Out, but I wasn't on the ballot.

0:13:35.660 --> 0:13:37.260
<v Speaker 7>If I was on the ballot, we would have won.

0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:38.800
<v Speaker 1>We would have won it all very easily.

0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:39.380
<v Speaker 6>But you know, Mr.

0:13:39.420 --> 0:13:41.699
<v Speaker 8>President, you told voters that you were on the ballot

0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:43.500
<v Speaker 8>to go vote as though you were on the ballot.

0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:45.220
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I said, say you're on the ballot.

0:13:45.540 --> 0:13:48.239
<v Speaker 2>Think about me being on the ballot, but They didn't

0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:51.060
<v Speaker 2>agree and they didn't like the candidates in most cases.

0:13:51.300 --> 0:13:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Just one of those things.

0:13:53.140 --> 0:13:53.610
<v Speaker 2>I'm on the ballot.

0:13:53.710 --> 0:13:54.160
<v Speaker 3>And I am on the ballot.

0:13:54.179 --> 0:13:54.849
<v Speaker 1>It's the true way I am running.

0:13:54.870 --> 0:13:55.809
<v Speaker 6>And I'm on the ballot. I'm on the ballot.

0:13:56.030 --> 0:13:56.490
<v Speaker 3>I am on the ballot.

0:13:56.510 --> 0:13:57.429
<v Speaker 6>I am on the ballot. I'm on the ballot. And

0:13:57.450 --> 0:13:58.250
<v Speaker 6>I'm on the ballot. And I'm running.

0:13:58.309 --> 0:13:58.610
<v Speaker 1>On the ticket.

0:13:58.630 --> 0:13:59.050
<v Speaker 7>I'm on the ticket.

0:13:59.070 --> 0:13:59.990
<v Speaker 6>I'm on the ticket. He's on the ticket.

0:14:00.010 --> 0:14:00.469
<v Speaker 3>And I'm on the ballot.

0:14:00.490 --> 0:14:01.270
<v Speaker 7>Because in a way I am on the ballot.

0:14:01.330 --> 0:14:02.530
<v Speaker 6>I'm running. And I'm on the ballot. I'm on the ticket.

0:14:02.630 --> 0:14:03.250
<v Speaker 7>I'm on the ballot.

0:14:03.290 --> 0:14:03.850
<v Speaker 6>And I'm on the ballot.

0:14:03.870 --> 0:14:04.270
<v Speaker 3>I'm running.

0:14:04.370 --> 0:14:05.709
<v Speaker 6>I'm on the ticket. I'm running.

0:14:05.750 --> 0:14:06.170
<v Speaker 1>I'm on the ballot.

0:14:06.190 --> 0:14:06.650
<v Speaker 3>We kill everybody.

0:14:06.710 --> 0:14:06.969
<v Speaker 1>I'm running.

0:14:07.010 --> 0:14:07.410
<v Speaker 7>I'm on the ballot.

0:14:07.450 --> 0:14:08.650
<v Speaker 6>I'm on the ballot. I'm on the ballot. And I'm running.

0:14:09.730 --> 0:14:13.370
<v Speaker 2>He knocked down the White House and the American people

0:14:13.809 --> 0:14:18.630
<v Speaker 2>have knocked down his rancid movement. Donald Trump tried to

0:14:18.670 --> 0:14:22.540
<v Speaker 2>build a victory arch. It cast a shadow over Arlington

0:14:22.580 --> 0:14:26.860
<v Speaker 2>National Cemetery and the Vietnam Wall, and the American people

0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:29.979
<v Speaker 2>said no. They said no to his war. They said

0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:32.900
<v Speaker 2>no to his corruption. They said no to his cruelty.

0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:39.310
<v Speaker 2>They said no to his abuses. The Democratic Party has

0:14:39.410 --> 0:14:45.100
<v Speaker 2>come back to life across America. It has won. Elections

0:14:45.580 --> 0:14:49.680
<v Speaker 2>from coast to coast, from north to south, it has

0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:53.230
<v Speaker 2>finished this lawless era off.

0:14:54.350 --> 0:15:03.410
<v Speaker 10>In sweeping and decisive victories, the American people have rebuked

0:15:03.430 --> 0:15:08.520
<v Speaker 10>the depravity, corruption, and incompetence of the failed lame duck

0:15:08.620 --> 0:15:09.640
<v Speaker 10>President Donald J.

0:15:09.780 --> 0:15:10.020
<v Speaker 1>Trump.

0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:23.890
<v Speaker 10>And if at times these last two years, amidst the

0:15:24.030 --> 0:15:29.170
<v Speaker 10>ceaseless onslaught of brutality and indecency, you doubted whether our

0:15:29.230 --> 0:15:33.460
<v Speaker 10>republic would survive, let tonight's results give you courage that

0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:35.760
<v Speaker 10>the first light of dawn is on the horizon.

0:15:37.740 --> 0:15:49.619
<v Speaker 4>I think we just made some history. So, South Carolina,

0:15:52.060 --> 0:15:59.370
<v Speaker 4>you have shown the nation what is possible. You have

0:15:59.470 --> 0:16:03.770
<v Speaker 4>shown the nation that in this era of partisan divides,

0:16:04.310 --> 0:16:10.310
<v Speaker 4>of vitriol and name-calling, in a politics dominated by billionaires

0:16:10.390 --> 0:16:14.010
<v Speaker 4>and special interest groups and insiders in Washington, D.C., that

0:16:14.050 --> 0:16:21.540
<v Speaker 4>we will not bow down. that we will not back

0:16:21.620 --> 0:16:29.290
<v Speaker 4>down and we will chart our own course. You have

0:16:29.350 --> 0:16:32.270
<v Speaker 4>shown the nation that we can come together to defend

0:16:32.510 --> 0:16:33.450
<v Speaker 4>South Carolina.

0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:48.840
<v Speaker 6>We just took back Texas. We We just.

0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:52.360
<v Speaker 7>Proved that all the money in the world is no

0:16:52.460 --> 0:16:53.140
<v Speaker 7>match for.

0:16:53.060 --> 0:16:54.240
<v Speaker 6>The people of Texas.

0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:04.440
<v Speaker 7>We just showed that a politics of division is no

0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:12.770
<v Speaker 7>match for a politics of love. And we just sent

0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:22.520
<v Speaker 7>a message to every billionaire mega-donor, every trillionaire mega-donor, every

0:17:22.740 --> 0:17:27.290
<v Speaker 7>corrupt defender of this broken political system. In this state,

0:17:28.010 --> 0:17:40.770
<v Speaker 7>in this country, power belongs to the people. I'm reminded

0:17:41.490 --> 0:17:44.750
<v Speaker 7>of that story from Scripture. of a shepherd boy who

0:17:44.790 --> 0:17:50.530
<v Speaker 7>goes up against a giant. For 40 days, Goliath teases

0:17:50.750 --> 0:17:53.760
<v Speaker 7>and taunts. On the day of the fight, he shows

0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:57.520
<v Speaker 7>up in full armor. He's carrying so many weapons, he

0:17:57.560 --> 0:18:00.859
<v Speaker 7>needs someone else to carry his shield. In this race,

0:18:01.500 --> 0:18:09.480
<v Speaker 7>we went up against our own Goliaths. The richest man

0:18:09.660 --> 0:18:12.260
<v Speaker 7>in the world, the most powerful man in the world,

0:18:12.380 --> 0:18:14.850
<v Speaker 7>and the entire Washington, D.C.

0:18:14.970 --> 0:18:16.730
<v Speaker 6>Establishment.

0:18:18.250 --> 0:18:22.149
<v Speaker 7>David wasn't as big or as strong as Goliath. He

0:18:22.170 --> 0:18:25.600
<v Speaker 7>didn't have as many weapons, but he had hope. He

0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:33.480
<v Speaker 7>had faith, and he had a slingshot. You were my slingshot.

0:18:37.660 --> 0:18:47.050
<v Speaker 7>The people of Texas were my slingshot. And tonight, and

0:18:47.109 --> 0:18:49.600
<v Speaker 7>tonight we defeated Goliath.

0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:56.419
<v Speaker 2>The Democratic Congress must bring the Article I branch of

0:18:56.480 --> 0:19:00.379
<v Speaker 2>government back to life immediately. It must get rid of

0:19:00.460 --> 0:19:05.060
<v Speaker 2>Pete Hegseth. It must make demands. It must use its power.

0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:10.920
<v Speaker 2>And do not have tolerance for any Democratic leader, starting

0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:15.389
<v Speaker 2>with Hakeem Jeffries, who tells you that oversight is revenge

0:19:16.010 --> 0:19:23.790
<v Speaker 2>and that accountability for lawlessness is injustice, but politics. Today,

0:19:24.330 --> 0:19:30.969
<v Speaker 2>Democrats must begin the work of restraining the lawlessness in

0:19:31.109 --> 0:19:36.700
<v Speaker 2>our broken and bruised and battered country. All over the world,

0:19:37.260 --> 0:19:38.820
<v Speaker 2>people are rejoicing.

0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:42.870
<v Speaker 11>We will rip ICE apart!

0:19:57.540 --> 0:20:04.990
<v Speaker 5>That's right.

0:20:06.010 --> 0:20:10.409
<v Speaker 11>And we have the opportunity to replace it with an

0:20:10.510 --> 0:20:15.970
<v Speaker 11>immigration system that is grounded in public safety for everybody.

0:20:18.670 --> 0:20:21.950
<v Speaker 6>Dignity and due process, which by.

0:20:21.710 --> 0:20:28.460
<v Speaker 11>The way is still a part of our constitution. A

0:20:28.540 --> 0:20:34.760
<v Speaker 11>system that does not tear children away from their families.

0:20:36.420 --> 0:20:39.600
<v Speaker 2>Those that did not have faith in the American people

0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:44.120
<v Speaker 2>have been reminded that Donald Trump is the aberration, that

0:20:44.180 --> 0:20:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump is the cancer, that Donald Trump will not

0:20:48.590 --> 0:20:53.209
<v Speaker 2>take America into the abyss with him and his reputation.

0:20:53.590 --> 0:20:56.850
<v Speaker 2>You have witnessed history and more of it.

0:20:57.600 --> 0:20:58.359
<v Speaker 1>Is on the way.
