1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,680 Speaker 1: It's Thursday, April twenty fourth, and Donald Trump is nearing 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 1: is one hundredth catastrophic day in office. 3 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:08,719 Speaker 2: Where should we begin? 4 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 1: This is the morning the Pentagon or the people that 5 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 1: work in it, have come up with a nickname for 6 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 1: Pete Hegseth's ubiquitous wife who travels with him everywhere. She's 7 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,760 Speaker 1: in the meetings with foreign defense ministers, she's in the 8 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: meetings with the senators. She's in the meetings with the generals, 9 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: and the generals and the privates. 10 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 2: They call her yoko Ono. 11 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: Now Pete Hegseth has deleted the images of women who 12 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: graduated from West Point First all the way to Jackie 13 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: Robinson from his military service. 14 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 2: But he finally has an accomplishment. 15 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: Pete Hegseath is the first Defense secretary to install a 16 00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 1: makeup room in the Pentagon, so the quoft drunk in 17 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,559 Speaker 1: Defense secretary can look his best at all times. Now, 18 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 1: according to anonymous sources, why does Pete Hagsas's wife need 19 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: to keep him on a kiddy leash? Why does the 20 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: wife of the American defense minister have to treat him 21 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 1: like a twenty four to seven nurse? Well, the source said, 22 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 1: he keeps the Defense secretary sober, he keeps his pants 23 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: up and his zipper zipped. 24 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 2: What a guy. 25 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: Now, Donald Trump was with some real heroes in the 26 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 1: Oval Office, and of course, because he was in the 27 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: presence of wounded warriors, people who he disdains, that he 28 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 1: despises that. He told his former chief of Staff, General 29 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: Kelly that he doesn't like being in the presence of 30 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: all of that was confirmed in a disgraceful episode Let's 31 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: watch Donald Trump. So, you guys got hit hit hard. 32 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: You guys got hit pretty good. He got hitty good, 33 00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: amazing in. 34 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 2: A pretty tough area. In the argan of her Velly right, 35 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 2: their unit had a more than fifty percent purple heart rateser. Wow, 36 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 2: you deserve it. You deserve that and more. We appreciate 37 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 2: it so much. Really brave, brilliant people. Thank you very much. 38 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: Terrific. What a leader, What an incredible president. Maybe Carolyn 39 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: Levitt later today can tell us about this. 40 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 2: What a great leader Donald Trump is? What a joke? Now? 41 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: Donald Trump has made America profoundly weaker, has alienated America 42 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: from her allies, has made America a place to be 43 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: feared in the world, a place where teenage children are 44 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: chained when they come on backpacking trips and sent to 45 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: detention for a week like common criminals. 46 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 2: And this should be thought. 47 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: About more deeply in the United States, because if Donald 48 00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: Trump can chain any person, he can chain every person, 49 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 1: and that is not acceptable in the United States. 50 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 2: Now. 51 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: There are many people, including California's airhead lightweight Governor Gavin Newsom, 52 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: who say civil liberty should not be the concern of 53 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party, that it's a secondary issue to the economy. Well, 54 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: the economy is cratering, of course, let's check in with 55 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal. Donald Trump and his surrender to 56 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: Jijiingpeng has not gone unnoticed. 57 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 3: I think what will remain is a ten percent across 58 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 3: the board tariff on all goods, not for negotiations Kim, 59 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 3: but as industrial policy. All right. I believe that that 60 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 3: will be inflationary. That will be harmful to American consumers, 61 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 3: It'll be harmful to American growth. 62 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: Donald Trump started a fight with China, and he lost 63 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: the fight, and then he quit the fight. And outside 64 00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: the Oval Office, Elon Musk, an incompetent, and his Treasury 65 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: Secretary Scott Bennen, another incompetent, are screaming f bombs at 66 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: one another. While on a stage, Ken Griffin, of billionaire 67 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: supporters of Donald Trump's said, what's the effect of all 68 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: of this? 69 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 2: In one hundred short days? 70 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: Donald Trump has made the United States of America twenty 71 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: percent poorer. The United States has lost twenty percent of 72 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: its wealth in one hundred days as a nation because 73 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: of Trump, whose approval level stands at forty percent, his 74 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: handling of the economy at thirty seven percent. His administration 75 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: is a regime, and his regime is deeply unpopular. It 76 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: is cratering, it's tanking, and Democrats need to focus on 77 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: three things. Donald Trump is profoundly incompetent. Donald Trump is 78 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: stealing their future. And then Democrats need to look in 79 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: the camera and look in the eyes of the voters 80 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: and ask for something that today need to apologize to 81 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: the American people for before they get and before they're 82 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: in a position to ask for power. They need to 83 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 1: ask for power to make this stop. I mean, they 84 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: asked for it. They need to promise not to abuse it. 85 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: They need to promise to use it to set things right. 86 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: And the first thing that Democrats need to set right 87 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: is to apologize for the great gaslighting of twenty twenty four. 88 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: What Joe Biden and his staff did to the United 89 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: States of America was awful. They lied about the president's 90 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: condition and they lost an election about honesty on three 91 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: key issues, the economy, the border, in Biden's fitness. And 92 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: the consequence for that was Donald Trump won the election 93 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: and the American people were disgusted. Democratic Party offered lectures, 94 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: Donald Trump offered demagoguree and lies, and the American people 95 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: picked the demagogree in lies over the lecture. Democratic Parties 96 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: out of the lecture business, and Democratic Parties in the 97 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: freedom business. 98 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 2: Now and if you. 99 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: Want to keep your freedom, the Demomocratic Party needs power 100 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: to remove the most unfit people from office. Pam Bondi, 101 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: Christy nome Pete, hegseath to protect the American people and 102 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: the American pocketbook and the American families wealth. The Democratic 103 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: Party needs power to put a check on Donald Trump, 104 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: to keep him from chaining people up, to keep him 105 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 1: from sending Americans to Al Salvador, which he has no 106 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: constitutional right to do whatsoever. But because of the feeble courts, 107 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: because of the feeble opposition in America, because Donald Trump 108 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 1: has not been tested and has not been broken in 109 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: this country only by the Chinese. All of this is contested, 110 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: and it shouldn't be. Democrats need to fight back. One 111 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: hundred days and the picture is clear. America is less secure. 112 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:54,239 Speaker 1: America is poorer, more divided, weaker. The billionaires are richer. 113 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: Trump's cronies have had a windfall, and abuse and corruption 114 00:06:59,040 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 1: are everywhere. 115 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that we. 116 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: Are supposed to be a government of the people, by 117 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: the people, and for the people. And I'm pretty sure 118 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: I read somewhere that all of us are created equal, 119 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: endowed by a creator, with inalienable rights, among them life, liberty, 120 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: and the pursuit of happiness. And I'm sure I read 121 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: somewhere about the government being unable to participate in cruel 122 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: and unusual punishment, and that Americans have a right to 123 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: do process, to stand in front of a judge, that 124 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: we don't live in a country where there's a knock 125 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: on the door in the night and a disappearance by morning. 126 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 2: Yes, I'm quite certain I read that somewhere. 127 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: This moment requires a fierce determination to stand up for 128 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: the values, the ideals, and the law that has made 129 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: the United States of America the most enduring republic in 130 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: world history. The inability to communicate clearly on multiple subjects 131 00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: on the same day is a lethal detriment to defeating 132 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: Trump and fighting Democrats. 133 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 2: Understand this. This moment requires. 134 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: Fierceness, and with fierceness, Donald Trump and his MAGA movement 135 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: will wind up on the ash heap of history because 136 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: he is failing, and his failure means that America is 137 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: taking his first tiny step back towards winning. This is 138 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning. I 139 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: invite you to join this community, where I promise to 140 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: be honest, blunt and direct about what is happening in 141 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: this country. America is in crisis. Follow and subscribe to 142 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,599 Speaker 1: this channel and on substack. 143 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 2: Thank you.
