1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,800 Speaker 1: This is the warning. There seems to be a bit 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,640 Speaker 1: of stridency in the air from the ladies of the 3 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 1: Trump administration. 4 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 2: Many outlets in this room have been fear mongering the 5 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:18,240 Speaker 2: American people into believing there is a constitutional crisis taking 6 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,759 Speaker 2: place here at the White House. I've been hearing those 7 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 2: words a lot lately. But in fact, the real constitutional 8 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 2: crisis is taking place within our judicial branch, where district 9 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,200 Speaker 2: court judges and liberal districts across the country are abusing 10 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 2: their power to unilaterally block President Trump's basic executive authority. 11 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 3: We believe these. 12 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 2: Judges are acting as judicial activists rather than honest arbiters 13 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 2: of the law, and they have issued at least twelve 14 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 2: injunctions against this administration in the past fourteen days, often 15 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 2: without citing any evidence or grounds for their lawsuits. This 16 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 2: is part of a larger, concerted effort by Democrat activists 17 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 2: and nothing more than the continuation of the weaponization of 18 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 2: justice against President Trump. 19 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 3: If you don't comply with federal law, we will hold 20 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 3: you accountable. We did it to an Illinois Strike one. 21 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 3: Strike two is New York. And if you are a 22 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 3: state not complying with federal law, your next get ready. 23 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: Note the crosses on the Attorney General and the White 24 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: House mouthpiece who lies and lies and lies stridently. So 25 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: now at any time one of these reporters in that 26 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 1: room could but clown her, ask her a question about, oh, 27 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: any of the amendments to the Constitution, and expose her 28 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: abject ignorance. But let me just say that, whether it's 29 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: Pam Bondy, whether it's the White House Press Secretary, or 30 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: whether it's this nutball, they look like fools. 31 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 2: And Donald Trump looks more brilliant and more genius every 32 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,279 Speaker 2: single day as his implement is agenda. 33 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: And is working, and our lives are getting better by 34 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 1: the minute. This won't wear well. The American people don't 35 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 1: want to be yelled at by their White House officials 36 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: who sound like their top lieutenants. Too well, that guy, 37 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: and speaking of cults, for the first time in American history, 38 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: a cult member was elevated to the position of director 39 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: of one of America's intelligence agencies, and this time it 40 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: was as the Director of National Intelligence. Tulca Gabbert, the 41 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: useful idiot who can't tell the difference between what's real 42 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: and what's not, who routinely parrots Putin's propaganda now sits 43 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: at top of the alphabet soup of America's three letter 44 00:02:54,080 --> 00:03:00,519 Speaker 1: intelligence agencies, and her tenure will lead to death and disaster. 45 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: But that's a problem for another day. In the immediate term, 46 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: Elon Musk and his lieutenants, his agents continue their rampage 47 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: throughout the federal government. Let's watch how the White House 48 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: Press Secretary describes what's happening and what's going on. 49 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 2: I think it's a real fallacy that there's this alleged 50 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 2: lack of transparency when it comes to DOGE. President Trump 51 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 2: and Elon Musk have been incredibly transparent on what DOGE 52 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 2: is doing. There is an x account with the DOGE handle. 53 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 2: They are tweeting out what they are doing on a 54 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 2: daily basis. They have a website where they are posting 55 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 2: the receipts of the contracts that they are reviewing and 56 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 2: the payments that they have stopped from going out the 57 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 2: door for the secretaries of our departments have stopped from 58 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 2: going out the door. And I would also say that 59 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 2: before it was Elon Musk making our government efficient and accountable, 60 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 2: it was some unnamed bureaucrat that none of you knew. 61 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 2: Elon Musk is the rich man in the world. He's 62 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 2: also now one of the most highly scrutinized men in 63 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 2: the world, alongside President Trump because of what he's doing 64 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 2: and the access that he is allowing. So there's great transparency. 65 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: Let's spot the lie, the trip up when the twenty 66 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 1: seven year old mouthpiece, the strident press secretary admits to 67 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: what it is that she just denied, which is that 68 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: it's Elon Musk and his cyber agents who are deciding 69 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: who gets money from the federal government no longer. 70 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 2: Congress, President Trump and Elon Musk have been incredibly transparent 71 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,799 Speaker 2: on what DOGE is doing. There is an x account 72 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 2: with the Doge handle. They are tweeting out what they 73 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 2: are doing on a daily basis. They have a website 74 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 2: where they are posting the receipts of the contracts that 75 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,799 Speaker 2: they are reviewing and the payments that they have stopped 76 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 2: from going out the door. The secretaries of our departments 77 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 2: have stopped from going out the door. 78 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 1: She catches herself quickly, but too late. The truth is 79 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: out there, as they say. And here's the thing. This 80 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: is how the American system works. There are one hundred 81 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: thousand elected governments in the United States and the United 82 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 1: States Congress the federal government, with the Washington Monument in 83 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: the middle between the Capital Dome and the White House 84 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: a triangle. The Congress is supreme in the American system 85 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: in that Washington bows before Congress when he submits his 86 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: resignation of his military commission. It is the people in 87 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 1: the United States who are sovereign. The Congress, made up 88 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: of two houses, the People's House the House of Representatives, 89 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 1: is where all of the appropriations, where all of the 90 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 1: money the spending originates from. The People's representatives decide that, 91 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: not Elon Musk. And it doesn't matter how many people 92 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,919 Speaker 1: voted for Trump for president, though it was one of 93 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: the smallest election margins against the sixty presidential elections we've 94 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 1: ever seen. He got forty nine zero point nine percent 95 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: of the vote, and the White House Press Secretary doesn't 96 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: seem to appreciate. The same electorate that gave Donald Trump 97 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: his victory returned to Washington a Republican Congress with a 98 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: one seat majority in the House and four in the Senate, 99 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: and the American system will require that Donald Trump get 100 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: some of those Democratic votes, and that is where Democrats 101 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 1: have leverage if they're willing to use it. But what 102 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: we're seeing being asserted from the White House over and 103 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: over and over again are blustering arguments that the debate 104 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: in America in November of twenty twenty four because Donald 105 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: Trump won. There are no permanent victories or defeats in 106 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: American life, and the Constitution demands we debate his plans. 107 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: That is what democracy is. And yet everywhere we look 108 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: there's a Trump administration official claiming that they're transparent when 109 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: they're not, claiming that their opponent is lying when they're 110 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: not abusing their power. Donald Trump is running the government 111 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: like a mob boss. And where is the Democratic Party 112 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: missing in action? And the real scandal around what happened yesterday, Well, 113 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: it could be the feebleness of the questions by the 114 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: press in that room, who are not their challenging authority 115 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: but are props in a reality show. But the real 116 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: scandal is where are the Democrats and why can't anybody 117 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: respond effectively to any of this insanity over the course 118 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: of the day. And that is a function of the 119 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: poor leadership and the lack of quality of grit, determination 120 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: and character amongst the Schumer led Democratic Senate. Who is 121 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: going to get tough. Who is going to stand up 122 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: because my friends Elon Musk is watching you. This is 123 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning, and 124 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: I invite you to join.
