WEBVTT - Donald Trump Takes Aim At Canada

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:05.400
<v Speaker 1>Forty one days soon, Donald Trump will be inaugurated at noon,

0:00:06.040 --> 0:00:09.920
<v Speaker 1>and we should take seriously what he's saying about Canada.

0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:15.120
<v Speaker 1>It's been NonStop since Justin Trudeau Jack asked from Ottawa

0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:19.240
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow a lago because Donald Trump said the word tariff

0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:26.520
<v Speaker 1>out loud. Since then, Donald Trump has taunted, Yes, his peer, NonStop,

0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:30.920
<v Speaker 1>and in doing so, he has insulted Canada. He has

0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:37.760
<v Speaker 1>started to destabilize the most inturing relationship in world history,

0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:44.680
<v Speaker 1>which between the two nations finds the longest undefended peacetime

0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:50.720
<v Speaker 1>boundary and world history. So, of course America's dumb as president. Yes,

0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:53.880
<v Speaker 1>that would have been our forty fifth thinks it's funny

0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:58.440
<v Speaker 1>that sometime after midnight to start tweeting or whatever it

0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:02.280
<v Speaker 1>is you do on true Social about America. I suppose

0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:07.000
<v Speaker 1>invading Canada, because that's the implication. And it's not just dumb,

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:11.720
<v Speaker 1>and it's not just unfunny, it's immoral and profoundly stupid.

0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:16.800
<v Speaker 1>This is the warning from Donald Trump on truth Social

0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:21.000
<v Speaker 1>shortly after midnight last night. It was a pleasure to

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:24.800
<v Speaker 1>have dinner the other night with Governor Justin Trudeau of

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:28.840
<v Speaker 1>the Great State of Canada. I look forward to seeing

0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:32.720
<v Speaker 1>the Governor again soon so that we may continue our

0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:36.880
<v Speaker 1>in depth talks on tariffs and trade, the results of

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:42.640
<v Speaker 1>which will be truly spectacular for all. Donald John Trump.

0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:45.920
<v Speaker 1>There are forty one days to go until Donald Trump

0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:49.080
<v Speaker 1>will raise his hand and become President of the United

0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 1>States again, the forty seventh president. All over Washington there

0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:57.760
<v Speaker 1>is excitement in the air by the maga weirdos, by

0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:02.600
<v Speaker 1>the sycophants, by the posers, by the clowns, by the drunks,

0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:07.200
<v Speaker 1>by the accused rapists, by the convicted petty criminals, by

0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:12.680
<v Speaker 1>the convicted sexual assaulters, and everyone else who was part

0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:17.920
<v Speaker 1>of Trump's toxic menagerie, as they get ready to exercise

0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:22.560
<v Speaker 1>power without restraint, with the magic of the Supreme Court

0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 1>granted immunity that makes Donald Trump a king a caesar.

0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:32.880
<v Speaker 1>One of the most providential blessings that the United States

0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:36.480
<v Speaker 1>has is the fact that two hours north on the

0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:41.680
<v Speaker 1>forty ninth parallel exists an international boundary that I drove

0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:48.240
<v Speaker 1>across yesterday. It is the longest peaceful, undefended border in

0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 1>world history. The prime minister of that nation, our ally,

0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:57.560
<v Speaker 1>is Justin Trudeau. He is not an American governor. He

0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:02.080
<v Speaker 1>is a Canadian Prime minister. He is the Canadian head

0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:05.680
<v Speaker 1>of government. King Charles is the King for the record,

0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:10.040
<v Speaker 1>not Donald Trump. The reality is that all through our

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:15.880
<v Speaker 1>history Canada has been the larger geography, much less populated,

0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:18.800
<v Speaker 1>but it hasn't stopped the United States from trying to

0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:24.959
<v Speaker 1>invade it multiple times, always unsuccessfully. In fact, the last

0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:30.400
<v Speaker 1>time that Americans and British soldier Canadians had weapons pointed

0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:33.840
<v Speaker 1>at one another was on a small island off the

0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:38.160
<v Speaker 1>coast of Washington State in eighteen fifty nine. It was

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:42.600
<v Speaker 1>called the Pig War. It was a disputed island. The

0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:47.880
<v Speaker 1>territorial boundary on set these three islands Lopez Island, San

0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Juan Island and Orcus Island. Who owned them? Was it

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:56.400
<v Speaker 1>the British or was it the Americans? Well, what happened

0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:59.560
<v Speaker 1>is there was a fence line with an American farmer

0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 1>and British farmer, and the British farmer had a pig

0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:06.920
<v Speaker 1>that was rooting on the American farmer's fence line, who

0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:10.880
<v Speaker 1>warned the British farmer over and over again to do

0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:14.800
<v Speaker 1>something about the pig. Well, the American farmer one morning

0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:19.400
<v Speaker 1>shot the pig. The British subjects on the island were

0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:24.880
<v Speaker 1>outraged and demanded the American be arrested, and so from

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:29.920
<v Speaker 1>Vancouver was deployed a detachment of Royal Marine to do

0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:35.400
<v Speaker 1>just that. The Americans on the island would not have it,

0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:39.120
<v Speaker 1>and so a man lended with the detachment of American

0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:44.120
<v Speaker 1>marines under his command that would soon join an infamous

0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:48.640
<v Speaker 1>role in American history. That man's name was George Pickett,

0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:51.920
<v Speaker 1>but George Pickett, at that point last in his class,

0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:55.760
<v Speaker 1>from West Point took command of the Americans. The British

0:04:56.000 --> 0:05:00.000
<v Speaker 1>and American forces on the island did everything they conceivably

0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:03.480
<v Speaker 1>could do to broke one another to fire the first

0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:08.039
<v Speaker 1>shot before word reached London and Washington. Of course, on

0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:11.479
<v Speaker 1>the eve of the American Civil War, the governments in

0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:15.160
<v Speaker 1>Whitehall put a stop to it. In the end, the Kaiser,

0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.719
<v Speaker 1>considered to be the wisest states of the day, was

0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:22.520
<v Speaker 1>the only person that both sides both parties, the British,

0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:26.400
<v Speaker 1>the Canadians, and the Americans could agree would be fair

0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:30.200
<v Speaker 1>in the resolution of the border dispute, and the Kaiser

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:34.920
<v Speaker 1>decided those islands they belonged to the United States, and

0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:39.440
<v Speaker 1>that was the last time there was any dispute whatsoever

0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:44.120
<v Speaker 1>about what the boundary between our two nations were. On

0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:48.919
<v Speaker 1>September eleventh, two thousand and one, thousands and thousands of

0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Americans were in the air when the towers were hit

0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:57.560
<v Speaker 1>and those planes had to land. American airspace was closed.

0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:02.719
<v Speaker 1>Those planes landed and Gander, Newfoundland. There's a play about it,

0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Comes from Away, that tells the story of the tens

0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:13.240
<v Speaker 1>of thousands of Americans taken into the homes of ordinary Canadians.

0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:17.280
<v Speaker 1>This isn't funny what Donald Trump did. When we play

0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:20.880
<v Speaker 1>a baseball game against the Canadian team, for example a

0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Yankee stadium, Americans respectfully stand for the Canadian national anthem

0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:30.440
<v Speaker 1>because it's a different nation. Our teams play each other

0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:35.000
<v Speaker 1>in the Olympic Games, and the sons of our nations

0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:39.000
<v Speaker 1>have fought together, they have served together, and they have

0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 1>died together in the First World War, in the Second

0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:45.640
<v Speaker 1>World War, in the Korean War, and in the war

0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:51.120
<v Speaker 1>in Afghanistan. When a young Canadian soldier was killed because

0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:54.280
<v Speaker 1>America was attacked. His body when it's laid out in

0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:57.440
<v Speaker 1>his cough in the box where his body will be

0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:00.719
<v Speaker 1>laid to rest, it's not traped with an American flag.

0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:05.040
<v Speaker 1>Straped with the Canadian flag. Canadians have pride in their country,

0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:08.240
<v Speaker 1>and they have a great history, one that they should

0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:13.760
<v Speaker 1>be proud of and one that every single American should respect.

0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Starting with the President of the United States, Donald Trump

0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:22.840
<v Speaker 1>has broken many traditions, many norms, many standards. Here is

0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:26.960
<v Speaker 1>a terrible one. He called Saudi Arabia first when he

0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:31.160
<v Speaker 1>was elected president in twenty and sixteen. President is that

0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:36.120
<v Speaker 1>the President of the United States calls our best friend first, Canada,

0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:39.240
<v Speaker 1>and he does it by reaching out to the Prime Minister.

0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:46.680
<v Speaker 1>There are millions of Americans married to Canadians, millions of

0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:53.320
<v Speaker 1>Canadians married to Americans. We have families that are intertwined

0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:58.320
<v Speaker 1>on both sides of the border. We have militaries that

0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:03.640
<v Speaker 1>are operating to together in places like Cheyenne Mountain. There

0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:08.400
<v Speaker 1>are Canadian astronauts that are part of the Artemis program.

0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:12.000
<v Speaker 1>It's not an American state. It's not something funny to

0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:16.600
<v Speaker 1>joke about. Right now, in Europe, in the Ukraine, there

0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:20.720
<v Speaker 1>is a war between two nations, a bigger and more powerful,

0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:24.520
<v Speaker 1>nuclear armed one and its sovereign neighbor, which has killed

0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:28.640
<v Speaker 1>a million people. In the Middle East, Assad has been

0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:34.120
<v Speaker 1>overthrown the world stands at this second in a moment

0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:37.240
<v Speaker 1>of crisis, in a moment of danger, and what Donald

0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Trump is doing is taunting the Canadian Prime Minister. Now

0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:45.040
<v Speaker 1>no doubt this will be celebrated and laughed about on

0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Fox News, dismissed in other places. But the same people

0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:54.400
<v Speaker 1>cheering for this stupidity, or the same Niolis cheering for

0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:59.160
<v Speaker 1>the assassin of the healthcare CEO gunned down into Manhattan Street,

0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:02.720
<v Speaker 1>to the type of niel Is insanity that for no

0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:09.319
<v Speaker 1>reason whatsoever, just wants to burn, burn relationships, burn alliances,

0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:14.320
<v Speaker 1>burn our history to the ground for Trump because why

0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:18.160
<v Speaker 1>it's funny, It's not hits looking disgraceful and it will

0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:22.920
<v Speaker 1>never not be. This is the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt.

0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.360
