1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:05,800 Speaker 1: Merry Christmas and happy Hanukkah. This is the warning twenty 2 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,240 Speaker 1: five days to go until the noon hour on January twentieth, 3 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: when Donald Trump will raise his hand and become the 4 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 1: most powerful man in the world. Until then, there's still 5 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:20,119 Speaker 1: time to do holiday shopping. Have you bought you are 6 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:25,279 Speaker 1: rudy coffee? Oh, marry Christmas. What would you like for Christmas? Darling? 7 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: Ruddy coffee, not diamond, not a necholace. No, the only 8 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: coffee she wants. Give her anther covin he wants. Now. 9 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 1: When I watch this, I'm mostly focused on the elves 10 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: because I look at them and I think about their future. 11 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: Because if an accused and reported statutory rapist like Matt 12 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 1: Gates can be nominated to be the chief law enforcement 13 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: officer in the United States of America, why not these elves? 14 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: What is it that they can do to serve Donald 15 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: Trump and the MAGA cause. Appreciating that Matt Gates, who's 16 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: nominated to be Attorney General of the United States, requires 17 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: an appreciation first that he was a member of the 18 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 1: United States Congress elected by hundreds of thousands of people, 19 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: and what did he do? Went to Washington, He got 20 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: coked up as often as he could underage children. If 21 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: they were girls, he banged them. And then he went 22 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: on Fox News down tomorrow a lago and you know 23 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: the rest, only the best and brightest for Donald Trump. 24 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 1: There has never been a menagerie of scumbags like the 25 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: one that Donald Trump has assembled and nominated to the 26 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: highest offices in the American government, life and death positions. 27 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: Twenty five days from now, the confirmation hearings will be 28 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: on the edge of commencement, And then we'll find out 29 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: who has some grit, who has some stamina, who has 30 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: the determination to say no no to Pete Hexeth? Who 31 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: is no different than Macate's Would they share in common? 32 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: There was no secret about any of these people's behavior. 33 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: It's all in the open. Their unfitness is a feature, 34 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: not an accident, of their nominations. All of these people, though, 35 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: pale in comparison to the man that picked them, the 36 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: man that sent Kimberly Gilfoyle all the way to Greece 37 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: a grant of a beautiful Christmas present to his son Uday, 38 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: who needed a little space to flex his wings. In 39 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Now Donald Trump ensconced within the Imperial 40 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: walls of Mara Lago on Christmas Day, tweeted thirty four times. 41 00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: It is very important to understand something. Trump ran on 42 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: promises that America was coming home, that he was going 43 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 1: to stop the stupid wars. But on Christmas Day, Donald 44 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: Trump is threatening, threatening to invade Panama and retake the 45 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: Panama Canal. But that's not the only territory that Donald 46 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: Trump is talking about taking, buying, purchasing, pursuing. His eyes 47 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: are sparkling with Greenland on his mind. Now, this is 48 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: interesting for anybody that's been to the US Virgin Islands. 49 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: Until nineteen seventeen, they were known as the Danish West Indies. 50 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: They were purchased for twenty five million dollars in gold 51 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: after a fifty year effort. So don't let anybody tell 52 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: you that this is crazy, the United States buying a 53 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: territory on the North American continent from a European power. Now, 54 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: Greenland is citizens, fifty seven thousand of them, and in 55 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: territory that is three times the size of Texas, are 56 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: subjects of the Kingdom of Denmark and also EU citizens. 57 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: Now that's despite the fact that the island is on 58 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: North American soil, not on European soil. In fact, the 59 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 1: last significant energy mineral rich territory controlled by European power 60 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: on North American soil is in fact Greenland, and Greenland 61 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: has many of the minerals rare earth minerals that are 62 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: found only in Russia and China that will be the 63 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: power source of the twenty first century artificial intelligence economy. 64 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: So Donald Trump is not off the wall looking at Greenland, 65 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: understanding the strategic implications of melting snow ice, the expansionist 66 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: the expansionist activities of both Russia and China prowling around 67 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: in the newly opened Arctic sea lanes and sea roots 68 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: emerging for the first time in human history on choked 69 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,479 Speaker 1: freed from the ice. Russia and China are investing in icebreakers. 70 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: Canada has a couple, The United States has none. By 71 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: the way, I should point out, when thinking about all 72 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: of these wars, all of this conquest, did you know 73 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 1: that there's not a single TNT factory explosives factory make 74 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: gunpowder in the United States, not a one. We imported 75 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: all from Poland. Well, it seems like the military might 76 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: be busy because Donald Trump promised to designate the Mexican 77 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: drug cartels as terrorist organizations like ISIS and al Qaeda. 78 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 1: Now the difference between the cartels and ISIS and al 79 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: Qaeda is the cartels kill scores more by exponents Americans, 80 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: then do those as long as terrorist organizations. The cartels 81 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: are responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans. 82 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: And the designation, should Trump make it will authorize him 83 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: on US soil to order strikes on those cartels on 84 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: Mexican territory as if they were the Hutis in Yemen, 85 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: or ISIS in Syria or in Iraq, or al Qaeda 86 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: in Afghanistan. Where there is a terrorist, the United States 87 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: of America will hunt them down. We have treated Mexican 88 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: drug dealers like criminals, not terrorists. The United States has 89 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: operated against the Mexican cartels as a law enforcement issue, 90 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 1: not a war, not a military matter. But that may 91 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: be about to change. And then, of course, there is Canada, 92 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: led by the weakest leader of all of the G 93 00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: seven nations, the pathetic Justin Trudeau. Let what happened to 94 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: Justin Trudeau be a warning to everybody about the price 95 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: of bowing to Donald Trump, the cost of humiliation. When 96 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: the Canadian Parliament returns Justin Trudeau will face a no 97 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: confidence vote from his coalition partner, and his political career 98 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: will end. Trump will have effectively deposed a Canadian prime minister, 99 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: destroyed the American media, crushed the Democratic Party, and swallowed 100 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: the Republican Party. Anybody who underestimates him, and anybody who 101 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: doubts how consequential he has been and is about to be, 102 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: is a full of the highest order. Now Canada shares 103 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: with the United States the longest undefended border in world history. 104 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: There are forty million Canadians. We are intermarried. Our military 105 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: served together, they are buried together. They have died in 106 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: combat together in the name of freedom all over the world. 107 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: And yet Donald Trump threatens what exactly annexation, assimilation. The 108 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: disrespect is disgusted and it's a form of bullying, and 109 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: it's something that marks Donald Trump as pathetic. If you're 110 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: looking to have a fight, then punch up, knockdown. Canada 111 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: is our friend, not an enemy. And it's a much 112 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: smaller country, about ten percent the size of the United States. 113 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: And Donald Trump, twenty five days before his inauguration, is 114 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: threatening Canada, provoking Canada, punting Canada, and Panama and Denmark. 115 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: But sure everything is going to be perfect, aokay, nothing 116 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,559 Speaker 1: to worry about at all. Right, The headlines are clear. 117 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: The American people are tuning out. They just can't handle 118 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: the pain of the news, the suffering that it brings. 119 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 1: The newspapers and the online magazines are filled with quotes 120 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: about Americans who can bear it no more to know 121 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: what's happening around them. They are stunned and stultified, like 122 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: baby seals hit by the numbing stick on a Canadian island. 123 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: But here's the thing. Twenty five days from now, a 124 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: lot of suffering is going to be felt by a 125 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,079 Speaker 1: lot of people who voted for Trump out of frustration, 126 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: and they're going to feel the impact of what he 127 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: does first. And there's not a lot that the Democrats 128 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: can do to stop it, or should do to stop it. 129 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: We're into the experiential part of the Trump experiment, and 130 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: in order for Democrats to win and to stop the 131 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: insanity and the madness, then this must all go where 132 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: it's going to go, and the line of resistance must 133 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: be at the line where in human illegality and awfulness 134 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 1: are too great to ignore. It's coming. Have no doubt 135 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: about that. But the Democratic Party, because of the failure, 136 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 1: has forfeited its ability to stop what's coming. And that's 137 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,839 Speaker 1: the tragedy. So Chuck Schumer talks about, don't worry about it. 138 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: The courts will be our net. These people are fools, 139 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 1: each one standing behind a bigger one. It seems like 140 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: it never ends, but it will because the country, the 141 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: United States, is resilient and always it has produced when 142 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,439 Speaker 1: it needed to the right leaders for the right moments. 143 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: And we are passing now through a portal when none 144 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: of the discredited leaders that have architected this moment of 145 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: defeat and ruin for the nation will be making the 146 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: journey into opposition for the next exciting chapter of America's life, 147 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: the future fight that defeats MAGA. No James Cliburn will 148 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: not be along for that ride where the Bidens or 149 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: Hunter or any of them. No Chuck Schumer will not 150 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: be riding a steed at the front of the column. 151 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: Getting rid of these people, removing them from positions of 152 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: responsibility inside the Democratic Party conferences and caucus, but ultimately 153 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: from their offices, is a prerequisite for moving forward, for 154 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:32,239 Speaker 1: doing better, For defeating MAGA. There will be an opposition 155 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,559 Speaker 1: that forms, and it will form over the next six months, 156 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: but it will never again be a top down opposition 157 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,559 Speaker 1: controlled by the Democratic Party from the DNC, from Washington, 158 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: d C, by a small group of people who look 159 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: the American people in the eye and lied to them 160 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: over and over and over again. His victory is their legacy. 161 00:11:55,200 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: Their defeat is their failure, not his pomplishment. All of 162 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: it is despicable and it's why so many people have 163 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 1: tuned out. But everybody better get ready to start tuning 164 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: back in, because the most powerful man in the world 165 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 1: has a lot of plans, and those plans require that 166 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: you be tuned out because he's getting ready to take 167 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: things from you that are not his to take. This 168 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: is the warning. And by the way, if you're looking 169 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: for a good cup of coffee, for Christ's sakes, don't 170 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: buy it from Rudy Giuliani or his elves. I'm Steve Schmidt. 171 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: This is the warning, and I invite you to join. 172 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: Subscribe on our substack, on our YouTube channel, follow us. 173 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: Welcome to the community.
