1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,040 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is the worst commander in chief in American history. 2 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: He's the most chaotic. He's utterly erratic. From day to day, 3 00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: from hour to hour, from moment to moment, he changes direction. 4 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:19,640 Speaker 1: Up is down, down is up. Nothing is ever consistent 5 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,599 Speaker 1: for Donald Trump. It's all an improvisation. It's all stick, 6 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: it's an act. It's why he can say this about 7 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: why we're at war with Iran. 8 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 2: In one moment, the situation was very quickly approaching the 9 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 2: point of no return in the United States found it 10 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 2: intolerable in my opinion, based on what Steve and Jared 11 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 2: and Pete and others were telling me. Marco so involved 12 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,279 Speaker 2: that I thought that they were going to attack us. 13 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 2: I thought they would if we didn't do this. 14 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 3: At the time we did it, I think they had 15 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 3: in mind to attack us. 16 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: And this in the next. 17 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 4: I just do want to say that the war is 18 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 4: proceeding very very strong. We're doing very very well, and 19 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 4: Iran knocking the hell out of them, and you have 20 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 4: to do that. We can't let them have a nuclear weapon. 21 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 4: They were two weeks away, in my opinion, two weeks 22 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 4: away from having a nuclear weapon. If those beautiful, magnificent machines. 23 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 4: There's be two bombers. If they didn't do their job 24 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 4: seven or eight months ago, they would have had they 25 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 4: would have had a nuclear weapon and there would have 26 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 4: been no talking to them, no talking at all. They 27 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 4: would have used it very gladly, very happily. And you 28 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 4: sort of see that by the fact that they were 29 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 4: sending missiles, ballistic missiles, powerful missiles to all of their neighbors, 30 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 4: and for the most part they were supposed to be 31 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,119 Speaker 4: somewhat friendly with their neighbors. They were going to blow 32 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 4: the hell out of them, and that was going to 33 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 4: be the Middle East, between Israel, the Middle East and Europe. 34 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 4: Would have been there, and we would have been there. 35 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 4: There would have been no stopping and we did a 36 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 4: good job. 37 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: It is Wednesday, March the eighteenth. I'm Steve Schmidt, and 38 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: if you get a chance over a YouTube, check out 39 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: our channel and think about becoming a member. This is 40 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: the warning. These are strange days. The recipient of the 41 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: FIFA Peace Prize has started a war. He has offered 42 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: many explanations for why we are at war, has contradicted 43 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: all of them, and took out time to sit down 44 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: and talk about the contributions on Saint Patrick's Day with 45 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: the Prime Minister of Ireland. 46 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 5: Americans of Irish heritage gave us the steamboat, the modern submarine, 47 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 5: the model Ty automobile, and many many other things. They 48 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 5: designed the White House that I didn't know, the Empire 49 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,959 Speaker 5: State Building that I didn't know, and the New York 50 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 5: City subway system, which is when it's operated properly, the best. 51 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 2: In the world. 52 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: Look at the guy's face. It's incredible. At any rate. 53 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: The excuses for why the mission that Trump just can't 54 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: see to get straight is failing, never ever stop. One moment, 55 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is talking about war, and in the next 56 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: it's about peace. 57 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 5: Seeks to kill. The lives of courageous American heroes may 58 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 5: be lost, and we may have casualties that often happens 59 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 5: in war. 60 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 4: But we're doing this not for now. We're doing this 61 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 4: for the future, and it is a noble mission. 62 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 3: I'm excited to announce that Norway has agreed to host 63 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 3: an event bringing together the Word of peace. 64 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 6: Oh. 65 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 3: I thought when I saw this note, I'm excited to 66 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 3: announce that Norway. I thought they were going to just 67 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 3: say that they're giving me the Nobel Prize. Oh, this 68 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 3: is less exciting. Oh I'm excited to announce that Norway 69 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 3: and I'm saying, oh, great, I'm getting the Nobel Prize. Finally, 70 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 3: finally they got it right. But I don't care. I 71 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 3: don't care about Nobel price. I care about saving lives. Yes, 72 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 3: so you understand, we play and we all do what 73 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 3: we have to do. I only have one thing. I 74 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 3: don't want to see people killed from parts of the 75 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 3: world that are very far away from the United States. 76 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 3: And if I have an ability to turn off, to 77 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 3: turn off wars, I want to use that ability because 78 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 3: it's people, millions of people. It's like the Prime Minister said, 79 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 3: twenty five million people maybe, and that's a small number 80 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 3: compared to what it could have been if you really 81 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 3: think about it. 82 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: In one moment he's against NATO. In the next moment 83 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 1: he's for it. 84 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 5: If we haven't needed help, they won't be there for us. 85 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 5: I've just known that for a long period of times. 86 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 5: We have some that are really enthusiastic. They're coming already. 87 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 5: This is in need. Need would be one of the 88 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 5: big boys. If we need their mind boats, or if 89 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 5: we need anything, any piece of apparatus that they may 90 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 5: have because of a situation that they have. They should 91 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 5: be jumping to help us. We want them to come 92 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 5: and help us. With the straight my attitude, we don't 93 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 5: need anybody. We're the strongest nation in the world. We 94 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 5: have the strongest military by far in the way. We 95 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 5: don't need them. 96 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: Up and down like a yo yo doesn't begin to 97 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 1: describe the craziness. NATO nations are not going to the 98 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: rescue of Donald Trump's failed war. They're staying away. In fact, 99 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 1: NATO was formed to hold back Soviet aggression, the type 100 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: of aggression we're seeing play out on the world stage, 101 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: with Trump threatening after Iran, Cuba is next, or as 102 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: he did last night after Venezuela won the World Baseball Classic, 103 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: saying it should be the fifty first state, should Iran 104 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: be the fifty second. He's threatened war with NATO over Greenland, 105 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 1: He's threatened war with NATO over Canada. He has bombed 106 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: eight countries and now America is at war. This President 107 00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 1: of peace, this winner of the FIFA Peace Prize, he 108 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: didn't mean it, any of it. Donald Trump has always 109 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: fetishized violence, and so it makes sense. Donald Trump has 110 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: made himself a war president, and it seems like the 111 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: war is just getting started. 112 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 4: We can the President declare this war effort a success 113 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 4: in the US has not retrieved Iran's nuclear view. 114 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 6: Look, that's something the President has refused to comment on. 115 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 6: It's an option on the table for him, but I'm 116 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 6: not going to comment on it or take it off 117 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 6: the table. We've defined the objectives of Operation Epic Fury 118 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 6: very clearly, which is, of course, to wipe out Iran's 119 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 6: ballistic missile arsenal, which we have been very successful in doing. 120 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 6: We've achieved dominance over the skies of Iran to annihilate 121 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 6: their navy, which we have done. According to Sentcom this morning, 122 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 6: I received the updated numbers. More than one hundred and 123 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 6: twenty naval vessels are at the bottom of the sea 124 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 6: because of our United States Armed Forces. That's a great 125 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 6: thing for the American people, that's a great thing for 126 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,679 Speaker 6: our ally in the region. And of course, to ensure 127 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 6: that yes, Iron cannot permanently, permanently cannot possess a nuclear 128 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 6: weapon is something this President has long said for decades. 129 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 6: But I'm not going to forecast or remove any future 130 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 6: options off the table. Look again, we're in a place 131 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 6: right now where we're ensuring that iron can no longer 132 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 6: threaten the United States of America, and the United States 133 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 6: military is doing a tremendous job at achieving these objectives. 134 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: We'll see what happens, but know this, wars easily started 135 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: or not easily ended. We should have learned that in 136 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: America over the last twenty five years, but apparently the 137 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: lesson didn't reach the White House, didn't reach Donald Trump, 138 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: it didn't reach his extremists. And that's too bad because 139 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: there's a lot of suffering ahead, because some lessons apparently 140 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: need to be learned over and over again, and only 141 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: by suffering. What a tragedy. I'm Steve Schmidt. This is 142 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: the warning.
