1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,120 Speaker 1: When you think about it, at some level, it makes 2 00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: sense that MAGA would try to reinvent the story of 3 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,720 Speaker 1: the Titanic. You know, in their version it doesn't sink. 4 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:12,959 Speaker 2: But you remember the tale, right. 5 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 1: The CEO of the White Storeline, a guy named Bruce Ismey, 6 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: demanded the captain, a fellow named John Smith, plowed the 7 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,800 Speaker 1: Titanic on its maiden voyage through the ice at full 8 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 1: speed to set a speed record, as the marketers declared 9 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: it the ship that God himself could not sink. When 10 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: the Titanic struck the ice, when Frederick Fleet, the lookout, 11 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: saw it through the black of the night, it was 12 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: already too late. At the point of contact, the ship trembled, 13 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: but most people didn't even notice. The people who got 14 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: into the lifeboats before midnight, well they survived and went 15 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: on to live long lives. 16 00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 2: Those who stayed too long, they. 17 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: Rowed as the ship that God himself could not sink 18 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 1: sank to the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean. The ceo, 19 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: of course, well he made it off. The rumors in 20 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: the age, though a slur, were he had dressed like 21 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: a woman, because as the old saw went women and 22 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: children first. But that didn't matter to the third class passengers, 23 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: mostly Irish, who were chained in the decks below. That's 24 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: the story of the Titanic. But according to jd Vance, it's. 25 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 3: This Democrats talk a lot about the affordability crisis in 26 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 3: the United States of America, And yes, there is an 27 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,960 Speaker 3: affordability crisis, one created by Joe Biden's policies. You don't 28 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 3: turn the Titanic around overnight. It takes time to fix 29 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 3: what was broken. 30 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: It is Friday, January the twenty third. I'm Steve Schmidt. 31 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 2: This is the warning. 32 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: Jd Vance has a peculiar point of view about the Constitution, 33 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: about the immunities afforded to master men unleashed without consent 34 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: on American cities to do violence, to kick indoors and 35 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 1: point long guns, and to arrest children. 36 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 2: Here's what he said. After the Renegad shooting. 37 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,839 Speaker 4: The administration seemed to suggest that ICE officers enjoyed near 38 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 4: complete immunity. But today you told the Washington Examinor that, 39 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 4: when appropriate, the administration might take disciplinary actions against ICE agents. 40 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 2: So is that a change of opinion. 41 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 3: I didn't say, and I don't think any other official 42 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 3: within the Trump administration said that officers who engaged in 43 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 3: wrongdoing would enjoy immunity. That's absurd. What I did say 44 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 3: is that when federal law enforcement officers violate the law, 45 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 3: that is typically something that federal officials would look into. 46 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 3: We don't want these guys to have kangaroo courts. We 47 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 3: want them to actually have real due process, real investigation, 48 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 3: because again, sometimes they're accused of wrongdoing and it turns 49 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 3: out when you learn the context, they didn't actually do 50 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 3: anything wrong. First of all, I wish the state officials 51 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 3: in Minnesota would an investigate why you have so many 52 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 3: people who are using their vehicles and other means to 53 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 3: actually interfere with a legitimate law enforcement operation. 54 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 2: The president here is very simple. 55 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 3: You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal 56 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 3: law enforcement action. 57 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 2: That's a federal issue. 58 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 3: That guy is protected by absolute immunity. He was doing 59 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 3: his job. The idea that Tim Walls and a bunch 60 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 3: of radicals in Minneapolis are going to go after and 61 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 3: make this guy's life miserable because he was doing the 62 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,239 Speaker 3: job that he was asked to do is preposterous. 63 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 1: And here's what Greg Bavino said about that. 64 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 2: Five year old child. 65 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 4: Final question, do you have any moral or ethical qualms 66 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 4: about detaining a five year old on his way back 67 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 4: from preschool. 68 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 5: Be more specific, Liam Ramos from the Columbia Heights School District, 69 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 5: do you have any moral or ethical qualms about that? 70 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 6: We conduct legal, ethical and moral law enforcement missions here 71 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 6: in Minneapolis. So as far as what you're saying with 72 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 6: that particular individual, to be more specific, because I didn't 73 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 6: detain a five year old and we're going to continue 74 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 6: with that law enforcement mission. Oftentimes you will see violent 75 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 6: illegal aliens that perhaps do have families. 76 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 2: And here's what jd. Vance said, Well. 77 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 3: I'm proud of the fact that we're standing behind law enforcement, 78 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 3: and I'm proud of the fact that we're enforcing the 79 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 3: country's laws. But you know, you asked a question about 80 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 3: this five year old kid. I actually saw this terrible 81 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 3: story while I was coming to Minneapolis. We just left Toledo, 82 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 3: Ohio this morning for an economic Messican event, and I 83 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 3: see this story and I'm a father of a five 84 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 3: year old, actually a five year old little boy, and 85 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,919 Speaker 3: I think to myself, oh my god, this is terrible. 86 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 3: How did we arrest a five year old? 87 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 2: Well, I do a little bit. 88 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 3: More follow up research, and what I find is that 89 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 3: the five year old was not arrested, that his dad 90 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 3: was an illegal alien, and then they when they went 91 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 3: to arrest his illegal alien father, the father ran. So 92 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 3: the story is that ICE detained a five year old. 93 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 2: Well, what are they supposed to do? Are they supposed 94 00:04:59,120 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 2: to let. 95 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 3: A five year old child frees to death? Are they 96 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,239 Speaker 3: not supposed to arrest an illegal alien in the United 97 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 3: States of America. 98 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: He is, of course a man who looked into the 99 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: camera and said Haitian's raiding pass. 100 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 7: He brought up, which I was kind of surprised by. 101 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 7: I guess I would say, is he brought up this misleading, 102 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 7: false claim that you yourself have talked about in recent 103 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:25,799 Speaker 7: days about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio abducting people's pets 104 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 7: and eating them, which officials there have said is not true. 105 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 7: You yourself acknowledged it may be false on Twitter, you 106 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 7: still told people to keep spreading it. But Trump just 107 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 7: amplified it to tens of millions of people who were watching. 108 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 7: Why push something that's not true? 109 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 5: Well, first of all, city officials have not said it's 110 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 5: not true. They've said they don't have all the evidence. 111 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 5: There no evidence. We've heard from a number of constituents 112 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 5: on the ground, Caitlin, who both first hand and second 113 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 5: hand reports saying this stuff is happening. So they very 114 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 5: clearly meaning the people on the ground dealing with this, 115 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 5: think that it is happening. And I think that it's 116 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 5: important for journalists to actually get on the ground and 117 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 5: uncover this stuff for themselves. When you have a lot 118 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 5: of people saying, Mike Petts are being abducted, or geese 119 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 5: at the city Pond are being abducted and slaughtered right 120 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 5: in front of us, this is crazy stuff. 121 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: He's a man who, over and over again has lied 122 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: and lied and lied in the pursuit of power. A 123 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:26,239 Speaker 1: peculiar man, a fraud, a man who's called himself four 124 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: different names at various times during his life. A man 125 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: who famously made love to his. 126 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,239 Speaker 2: Couch Jay d Vance. 127 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: We should appreciate the lessons of history when it comes 128 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: to the tanking of children. These words by Anne Frank, 129 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 1: because here in America it has come to pass that 130 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 1: children are recording from their ceiling rooms the deprivations below 131 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: of rights of liberty, of human dignity. In the United States, 132 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: the Secret police have been given orders to invade and 133 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: attack jurisdictions to avenge Donald Trump's political laws. It is 134 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: the most outrageous, it is the most un American, and 135 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: it is the most unpatriotic thing that any president has 136 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: ever done in the history of the United States. The 137 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: only peer to all of this is the work of 138 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: the Confederate States. And that's what Trump and Baveno and 139 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: Nom are. 140 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 2: They are the modern. 141 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: Day Confederates, extremist fascists, and their abuse of power will 142 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: long be infamous, but it will not long last. And 143 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: this is the warning criminal acts by mass men in 144 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: this country. The bill will come due for them. The 145 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: America that they are attacking will not go so easily 146 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: into the night. And there are many more of us 147 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: than there will ever be of them. 148 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 2: And I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning. 149 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: I invite you to join this community, where I promise 150 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: to be honest, blunt and direct about what is happening 151 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: in this country.
