1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,160 Speaker 1: First week of the Trump presidency is spiraling to its end. 2 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: This is the warning Donald Trump is holding court in 3 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 1: the Oval Office. War is still raging in Ukraine. Trump 4 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,600 Speaker 1: said he would have it ended in twenty four hours. 5 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 1: Looks like a swing in a miss. Is the president 6 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: on your back carrying doubles? Next year? 7 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 2: Will there be then a peace agreement with the Ukraine 8 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 2: and Russia by then. 9 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,519 Speaker 3: Well you're going to have to ask Russia. Ukraine is 10 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 3: ready to make a deal. Just so you understand, this 11 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 3: is a war that should have never started. If I 12 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 3: were president, it would never have started. 13 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 1: Donald Trump has started his deportations and already an American citizen, 14 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: a military veteran, has been arrested because he wasn't carrying 15 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: his papers on him, and so off he went out 16 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: of the country. Donald Trump is revealing himself. He told 17 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: the American people that he cared about them, he cared 18 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: about the economy. The truth is, Donald Trump is what 19 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: he's always been at del mcgogue and a con man, 20 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: somebody who stiffed the little guy at every opportunity he 21 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: ever had and every business he ever owned, with every 22 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: contractor he ever dealt with. Trump loves the respectability because 23 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: just a few short years ago, there was no serious 24 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: banker in New York who would do business with Donald Trump. 25 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: He was a joke at JP Morgan. And now all 26 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,199 Speaker 1: of the most powerful people in the world are capitulant, 27 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: and Trump is their king, and he'll deliver for his 28 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,839 Speaker 1: billionaires when he speaks. It's their agenda. 29 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 3: They took court cases with Apple and they supposedly won 30 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 3: a case that most people didn't think was much of 31 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 3: a case. They won fifteen or sixteen billion from Apple. 32 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 3: They won billions from Google. I think they're after face 33 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 3: Book for billions and billions. These are American companies, whether 34 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 3: you like them or not. They're American companies and they 35 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 3: shouldn't be doing that. And that's as far as I'm concerned. 36 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 3: It's a form of taxation. So we have some very 37 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 3: big complaints with the EU. 38 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 1: He wants the EU to know that their government regulations, well, 39 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: Trump doesn't like them. He doesn't think France or Italy 40 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: or England or Germany or Denmark, or any country or 41 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: collection of countries in any form. If a CEO of 42 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: a company in America, no matter what they're doing, is 43 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 1: nice to him, well, the law shouldn't apply there, and 44 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: I suspect those European countries are going to say no thanks. 45 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: The presidency is not a Turkish bizarre, but Donald Trump 46 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: is treating it like one. He gives things away, he 47 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 1: punishes his enemies, he benefits his friends. It's like an 48 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: eight year old children's birthday, except Trump is the toxic 49 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: clown who feels scalded if a bishop talks to him 50 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: about mercy. Now, Donald Trump promised to fix the economy, 51 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: but Donald Trump was lying. Donald Trump has created government 52 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,959 Speaker 1: of the billionaire, by the billionaire, for the billionaire in 53 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: five days time, where the richest and most powerful people 54 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: in world history can articulate their grievances and secret revenge. 55 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 1: He said. America is now in the business of expanding 56 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: our territory. 57 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 2: He did, you know a lot of great things, like 58 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 2: building the Panama Canal. The most expensive thing, relatively, the 59 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 2: most expensive thing we've ever built is the Panama Canal. 60 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 3: And you're serious. 61 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 2: And unfortunately Jimmy Carter gave it away for one dollar. 62 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 2: Oh no, we're gonna have to take it back. China's 63 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 2: running the Panama Canal right now, that wasn't the deal. 64 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: Who wants to pay for that. By the way, anybody 65 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: ready to lay a kid into a box with a 66 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: flag over it so that we get the Panama Canal 67 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: that we already have control over functionally no threat to 68 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: American shipping. Donald Trump doesn't have to threaten to make 69 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: wa to reduce fees in the canal if that's what 70 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: his priority is for America's shipping interests. All of it, 71 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: by the way, is borne by the consumer. Explained to me, 72 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: the difference between a high shipping fee being passed on 73 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: to the American consumer, maybe unfairly, and Donald Trump's arbitrary tariff, 74 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: which will be passed on to the American consumer every 75 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 1: day at five o'clock, Franklin Roosevelt, without fail, in the 76 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: White House, we mix cocktails and it took on the 77 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 1: next level of excitement. When Winston Churchill was in residence. 78 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 1: The Churchill hated his cocktails so much he would dump 79 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: them in the White House toilet, and he had his 80 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: booze stashed in a corner somewhere else. But the reporters, 81 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: they came in for a drink made by the isn't 82 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: it and they had an off the record conversation. Donald 83 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: Trump is doing a version of this. What you're seeing 84 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: is coal being tossed into a furnace, social media furnace. 85 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 3: Nothing can destroy cold, not the weather, not a bomb, nothing. 86 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 3: It might make it a little smaller, might make it 87 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 3: a little different shape. 88 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: Everything you're seeing Donald Trump say in the Oval Office 89 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: is cut up, clipped a thousand different ways, put out 90 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: there on social media. It's a game, it's a reality 91 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: show creating content. There's no response to it. There's nothing 92 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: that lampoons it, not with any weight. There's no match 93 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: for it. And so Donald Trump rolls along for now, 94 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: but there are early signs. A federal judge called his 95 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: repeal of birthright citizenship completely unconstitutional. It's not going to stand. 96 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: It's empty. He was rebuked by a bishop, not with 97 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: her words, but by his reaction. It was like a 98 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: keen from the omen. There are two Republican senators who 99 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: have said no on the question of the most unfit 100 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: man in American history ever nominated to a life and 101 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: death position, any person ever thought to be put in 102 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: charge of the armed forces, who is more unqualified than 103 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 1: Pete Hexas. They said no. Are there two more? Is 104 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: eighty five year old Mitch McConnell or whatever he is. 105 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: Is he really gonna vote for Pete Hexas and nobody else? 106 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: Every one of these people are so scared shitless of 107 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Did they would vote for this clown? And 108 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: here's the truth about Pete Heexas. There are a great 109 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: many rumors swirling around Washington about the omissions he made 110 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 1: in his FBI report, And there are serious allegations of 111 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: domestic violence, and there is real fear on the part 112 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 1: of at least one expouse for her children. And the 113 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: media is figuring out in Washington what they're going to 114 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: tell you about it, because they are afraid of Donald Trump, 115 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,679 Speaker 1: and they're afraid of being sued for telling the truth 116 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: about what was sent to the committee and what was 117 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: not found by the FBI reports. And I'll just leave 118 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: it at there. Donald Trump, we have them for four years. 119 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: He's not the son God. And the stick's gonna get old. 120 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: Oh and one last thing, Donald, the rating sucked. No 121 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: one's watching now in this we share a problem. I 122 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: want people to watch because the best thing for you 123 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: is a disengaged voter. You want people to watch because 124 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: you want to be loved and you never will be, 125 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: not by a majority of Americans. You're at forty seven percent, 126 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: and by this time next week it'll be in the 127 00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: rearview mirror behind you. You'll never see the number again. 128 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: Lower and lower and lower you go. You're to be 129 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: a failed president. That much is clear. Chaotic, shambolic, messy 130 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: first week filled with Nazi salutes. Everything that everyone said 131 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: about how bad this would be was correct, And I'll 132 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: just leave you heading into the weekend, a slow motion 133 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: reprize of Elon Musk doing what The New York Times 134 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: said wasn't a Nazi salute, but instead the instigation of 135 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 1: a vigorous debate about a hand gesture at a rally. 136 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: This is the warning. Don't let yourself be bullshit. You're 137 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:43,079 Speaker 1: better and smarter than that. Have a good weekend. I'm 138 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: Steve Schmidt.
