Speaker 1: Have you ever sat back and wondered, how is it
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump was elected President of the United States,
Speaker 1: not once, but twice? What had to crack to break
Speaker 1: in order for the lowest man in the whole country
Speaker 1: to reach the highest office. It is December twenty fourth,
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve.
Speaker 2: This is the warning.
Speaker 1: Let's get into that question because it matters a great deal.
Speaker 2: The answer is simple. Trust.
Speaker 1: It was burned to senders between who well the American
Speaker 1: people and their government.
Speaker 2: But more than.
Speaker 1: That, there is no institution that exists in America that
Speaker 1: has lost more trust with the American people than perhaps
Speaker 1: the American media, not even the government.
Speaker 2: Trump over and over and.
Speaker 1: Over again has targeted the media because he understands how dishonest,
Speaker 1: how hipoc critical, how whoa the character is, how low
Speaker 1: the integrity bar is of an industry that he's participated in,
Speaker 1: that he's mastered and he's conquered.
Speaker 3: And they got caught. And to me, it's the biggest
Speaker 3: scandal in broadcast history. It's election interference fraud, and sixty
Speaker 3: minutes should be taken off the air. They should, and
Speaker 3: CBS should lose its license. You know, the government, the
Speaker 3: government gives us license to NBC fake news, ABC fake news,
Speaker 3: and CBS fake news.
Speaker 2: They have to They have to pay. If they had
Speaker 2: to pay, they pay billions of dollars.
Speaker 3: They get them for nothing, They pay nothing.
Speaker 1: The journalism that exists today in America is no such thing.
Speaker 1: Fox News is in journalism. Maggie Haberman isn't a journalist,
Speaker 1: She's an access merchant. But journalism still does exist. It
Speaker 1: exists at places like sixty Minutes. The takeover of CBS
Speaker 1: News by David Allison, son of Larry Ellison, one of
Speaker 1: the richest men in the world, was a corrupt act.
Speaker 1: It was smoothed by the payment of a bribe through
Speaker 1: the settlement of an absurdist lawsuit between Donald Trump and
Speaker 1: CBS over a sixty Minutes piece that aired during the election,
Speaker 1: where Trump claimed comments made by Kamala.
Speaker 2: Harris were edited.
Speaker 1: The suit would have been thrown out of court, but
Speaker 1: the billionaire who wanted to sell the company, Sharry Redstone,
Speaker 1: instead paid off Trump and the company was sold to
Speaker 1: David Allison, who doesn't really want that company but wants
Speaker 1: Warner Brothers Discovery. His father, Larry, has pledged to guarantee
Speaker 1: his purchase of that company, which would include CNN with
Speaker 1: forty billion of his own money. Now, when I was
Speaker 1: a kid, the rich kids, they get a nice car.
Speaker 1: Larry Ellison is going to give his do nothing tribute
Speaker 1: to nepotism a forty billion dollar I don't know what
Speaker 1: you call it, but at any rate, in order for
Speaker 1: the merger to go through, the Trump regime must approve it.
Speaker 1: And that is where Barry Weiss comes in. Barry Weiss
Speaker 1: isn't a journalist, though she has a title that makes
Speaker 1: it sound like she's won. Barry Weiss is a cast member.
Speaker 1: Megan Kelly, just this very day is denouncing her as
Speaker 1: being on the side of Ben Shapiro in the feud
Speaker 1: between Shapiro and Barry Weiss against Tucker Carlson and Candae
Speaker 1: Owens and Megan Kelly and Erica Kirk.
Speaker 2: That's who Barry Weiss is.
Speaker 1: She is a creature in the creature Containa of the
Speaker 1: Trump Star Wars bar scene that never ever stops.
Speaker 2: That's who Barry Weiss is. Now.
Speaker 1: There have been many corrupt acts committed by the Trump administration.
Speaker 1: There have been many insane statements made by Donald Trump.
Speaker 3: In Springfield, they're eating the dogs, the people that came
Speaker 3: in they're eating the cats, they're eating they're eating the
Speaker 3: pets of the people that live there. And this is
Speaker 3: what's happening in our country, and it's a shame.
Speaker 1: There have been many sycophantic statements made by his cabinet officials.
Speaker 2: And never would have happened if you've been president.
Speaker 1: But this war's going on and the president is trying
Speaker 1: to end it. Not because, listen, we got a million
Speaker 1: things to focus on in the world as a country,
Speaker 1: but he's the only leader.
Speaker 2: In the world that can help end it.
Speaker 1: And that's why we're in That's why even as we
Speaker 1: speak to you now, Steve Woodcoff is in Moscow trying
Speaker 1: to find a way to end this war.
Speaker 2: To save lives of eight nine thousand people. Mister President's
Speaker 2: you want to are dying every week.
Speaker 1: They have lied, they have stolen, they have made the
Speaker 1: world more dangerous.
Speaker 2: But beyond everything that all.
Speaker 1: Of them have done as individuals are together, there is
Speaker 1: one thing that stands at They sold human beings to
Speaker 1: a concentration camp in Al Salvador run by a dictator.
Speaker 1: They sold them for cash. The Trump regime did it.
Speaker 1: Donald did it. Steven Miller did it. Pam BONDI did it.
Speaker 1: Christy nom did it. But here's the thing. They did
Speaker 1: it in our name. And because there is a reporter,
Speaker 1: a journalist with titanic integrity named Sharon Alfonsi of sixty minutes,
Speaker 1: we know the story and though Barry Weiss tried to
Speaker 1: spike it, it aired in Canada and now it has
Speaker 1: been seen. I've seen it, and I know, as somebody
Speaker 1: who has been interviewed by sixty minutes twice and appeared
Speaker 1: on their show as a subject, I know that after
Speaker 1: a career dealing with journalists, that the story measures up.
Speaker 1: It meets the standards, and the tale it tells is chilling.
Speaker 1: The reason it was spiked is because it is an
Speaker 1: abomination what is happening, and the American people would not
Speaker 1: react well to it. And so the American dictator, that's
Speaker 1: what he called himself, supported by his version of state media,
Speaker 1: the urbanized American media brought to their knees, the capitulant
Speaker 1: leaders counting their money while the American people are misinformed
Speaker 1: and the First Amendment is turned into a joke. Those
Speaker 1: people have set in motion terrible events because they have
Speaker 1: made it impossible for the American people to know what
Speaker 1: is real, what is not, what is up, what is down?
Speaker 1: What is right from left and left from right? And
Speaker 1: now the bill is coming due. Understand this, my friends.
Speaker 1: Sharon Alfonsi of sixty Minutes is one of the great
Speaker 1: journalists in the history of that program. She has put
Speaker 1: it all on the line to tell the truth. It's
Speaker 1: an incredible thing to see courageous acts in a time
Speaker 1: of cowardice. When you do appreciate them, celebrate them, receive
Speaker 1: them as a gift. And when it comes to this
Speaker 1: first Christmas of the Trump second presidency, maybe even a
Speaker 1: Christmas miracle. This is the warning. On Christmas Eve, I'm
Speaker 1: Steve Schmidt. This is the warning. I invite you to
Speaker 1: join this community where I promise to be honest, blunt
Speaker 1: and direct about what is happening in this country. America
Speaker 1: is in crisis. Follow and subscribe to this channel and

Speaker 2: Thank you.
