Speaker 1: Forty one days soon, Donald Trump will be inaugurated at noon,
Speaker 1: and we should take seriously what he's saying about Canada.
Speaker 1: It's been NonStop since Justin Trudeau Jack asked from Ottawa
Speaker 1: tomorrow a lago because Donald Trump said the word tariff
Speaker 1: out loud. Since then, Donald Trump has taunted, Yes, his peer, NonStop,
Speaker 1: and in doing so, he has insulted Canada. He has
Speaker 1: started to destabilize the most inturing relationship in world history,
Speaker 1: which between the two nations finds the longest undefended peacetime
Speaker 1: boundary and world history. So, of course America's dumb as president. Yes,
Speaker 1: that would have been our forty fifth thinks it's funny
Speaker 1: that sometime after midnight to start tweeting or whatever it
Speaker 1: is you do on true Social about America. I suppose
Speaker 1: invading Canada, because that's the implication. And it's not just dumb,
Speaker 1: and it's not just unfunny, it's immoral and profoundly stupid.
Speaker 1: This is the warning from Donald Trump on truth Social
Speaker 1: shortly after midnight last night. It was a pleasure to
Speaker 1: have dinner the other night with Governor Justin Trudeau of
Speaker 1: the Great State of Canada. I look forward to seeing
Speaker 1: the Governor again soon so that we may continue our
Speaker 1: in depth talks on tariffs and trade, the results of
Speaker 1: which will be truly spectacular for all. Donald John Trump.
Speaker 1: There are forty one days to go until Donald Trump
Speaker 1: will raise his hand and become President of the United
Speaker 1: States again, the forty seventh president. All over Washington there
Speaker 1: is excitement in the air by the maga weirdos, by
Speaker 1: the sycophants, by the posers, by the clowns, by the drunks,
Speaker 1: by the accused rapists, by the convicted petty criminals, by
Speaker 1: the convicted sexual assaulters, and everyone else who was part
Speaker 1: of Trump's toxic menagerie, as they get ready to exercise
Speaker 1: power without restraint, with the magic of the Supreme Court
Speaker 1: granted immunity that makes Donald Trump a king a caesar.
Speaker 1: One of the most providential blessings that the United States
Speaker 1: has is the fact that two hours north on the
Speaker 1: forty ninth parallel exists an international boundary that I drove
Speaker 1: across yesterday. It is the longest peaceful, undefended border in
Speaker 1: world history. The prime minister of that nation, our ally,
Speaker 1: is Justin Trudeau. He is not an American governor. He
Speaker 1: is a Canadian Prime minister. He is the Canadian head
Speaker 1: of government. King Charles is the King for the record,
Speaker 1: not Donald Trump. The reality is that all through our
Speaker 1: history Canada has been the larger geography, much less populated,
Speaker 1: but it hasn't stopped the United States from trying to
Speaker 1: invade it multiple times, always unsuccessfully. In fact, the last
Speaker 1: time that Americans and British soldier Canadians had weapons pointed
Speaker 1: at one another was on a small island off the
Speaker 1: coast of Washington State in eighteen fifty nine. It was
Speaker 1: called the Pig War. It was a disputed island. The
Speaker 1: territorial boundary on set these three islands Lopez Island, San
Speaker 1: Juan Island and Orcus Island. Who owned them? Was it
Speaker 1: the British or was it the Americans? Well, what happened
Speaker 1: is there was a fence line with an American farmer
Speaker 1: and British farmer, and the British farmer had a pig
Speaker 1: that was rooting on the American farmer's fence line, who
Speaker 1: warned the British farmer over and over again to do
Speaker 1: something about the pig. Well, the American farmer one morning
Speaker 1: shot the pig. The British subjects on the island were
Speaker 1: outraged and demanded the American be arrested, and so from
Speaker 1: Vancouver was deployed a detachment of Royal Marine to do
Speaker 1: just that. The Americans on the island would not have it,
Speaker 1: and so a man lended with the detachment of American
Speaker 1: marines under his command that would soon join an infamous
Speaker 1: role in American history. That man's name was George Pickett,
Speaker 1: but George Pickett, at that point last in his class,
Speaker 1: from West Point took command of the Americans. The British
Speaker 1: and American forces on the island did everything they conceivably
Speaker 1: could do to broke one another to fire the first
Speaker 1: shot before word reached London and Washington. Of course, on
Speaker 1: the eve of the American Civil War, the governments in
Speaker 1: Whitehall put a stop to it. In the end, the Kaiser,
Speaker 1: considered to be the wisest states of the day, was
Speaker 1: the only person that both sides both parties, the British,
Speaker 1: the Canadians, and the Americans could agree would be fair
Speaker 1: in the resolution of the border dispute, and the Kaiser
Speaker 1: decided those islands they belonged to the United States, and
Speaker 1: that was the last time there was any dispute whatsoever
Speaker 1: about what the boundary between our two nations were. On
Speaker 1: September eleventh, two thousand and one, thousands and thousands of
Speaker 1: Americans were in the air when the towers were hit
Speaker 1: and those planes had to land. American airspace was closed.
Speaker 1: Those planes landed and Gander, Newfoundland. There's a play about it,
Speaker 1: Comes from Away, that tells the story of the tens
Speaker 1: of thousands of Americans taken into the homes of ordinary Canadians.
Speaker 1: This isn't funny what Donald Trump did. When we play
Speaker 1: a baseball game against the Canadian team, for example a
Speaker 1: Yankee stadium, Americans respectfully stand for the Canadian national anthem
Speaker 1: because it's a different nation. Our teams play each other
Speaker 1: in the Olympic Games, and the sons of our nations
Speaker 1: have fought together, they have served together, and they have
Speaker 1: died together in the First World War, in the Second
Speaker 1: World War, in the Korean War, and in the war
Speaker 1: in Afghanistan. When a young Canadian soldier was killed because
Speaker 1: America was attacked. His body when it's laid out in
Speaker 1: his cough in the box where his body will be
Speaker 1: laid to rest, it's not traped with an American flag.
Speaker 1: Straped with the Canadian flag. Canadians have pride in their country,
Speaker 1: and they have a great history, one that they should
Speaker 1: be proud of and one that every single American should respect.
Speaker 1: Starting with the President of the United States, Donald Trump
Speaker 1: has broken many traditions, many norms, many standards. Here is
Speaker 1: a terrible one. He called Saudi Arabia first when he
Speaker 1: was elected president in twenty and sixteen. President is that
Speaker 1: the President of the United States calls our best friend first, Canada,
Speaker 1: and he does it by reaching out to the Prime Minister.
Speaker 1: There are millions of Americans married to Canadians, millions of
Speaker 1: Canadians married to Americans. We have families that are intertwined
Speaker 1: on both sides of the border. We have militaries that
Speaker 1: are operating to together in places like Cheyenne Mountain. There
Speaker 1: are Canadian astronauts that are part of the Artemis program.
Speaker 1: It's not an American state. It's not something funny to
Speaker 1: joke about. Right now, in Europe, in the Ukraine, there
Speaker 1: is a war between two nations, a bigger and more powerful,
Speaker 1: nuclear armed one and its sovereign neighbor, which has killed
Speaker 1: a million people. In the Middle East, Assad has been
Speaker 1: overthrown the world stands at this second in a moment
Speaker 1: of crisis, in a moment of danger, and what Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is doing is taunting the Canadian Prime Minister. Now
Speaker 1: no doubt this will be celebrated and laughed about on
Speaker 1: Fox News, dismissed in other places. But the same people
Speaker 1: cheering for this stupidity, or the same Niolis cheering for
Speaker 1: the assassin of the healthcare CEO gunned down into Manhattan Street,
Speaker 1: to the type of niel Is insanity that for no
Speaker 1: reason whatsoever, just wants to burn, burn relationships, burn alliances,
Speaker 1: burn our history to the ground for Trump because why
Speaker 1: it's funny, It's not hits looking disgraceful and it will
Speaker 1: never not be. This is the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt.
