1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: The broken American media has covered Donald Trump like they

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: cover Survivor. Each day in the news is an episode

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: of a reality show, with the Sunday shows beginning the

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: week with a special edition of Catch Me if you can,

5
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: over and over and over again. The insanity has been indulged.

6
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: A perfect example of Scott Bessen being interviewed on CNBC.

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 2: Four years in the Europeans are still financing the war

8
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 2: against themselves.

9
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 3: All right, let's talk about it.

10
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 2: But what I do want to say is same thing

11
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: that I said after Liberation Day on April second. Everyone

12
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 2: take a deep breath. Do not escalate, do not escalate.

13
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: And President Trump has a strategy here hear him out,

14
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 2: and then everything will be fine.

15
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: Don't escalate, don't escalate. But what did anybody expect to

16
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: happen when the United States abandon its values, abandon its ideals?

17
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: The world has answered. This is January two. First, I'm

18
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: Steve Schmidt. This is the warning. At the World Economic

19
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: Forum in Davas, American flags were burned. The United States,

20
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: according to Reich fior Miller, has declared itself a predator nation.

21
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: The world watches Donald Trump's secret police assault American citizens

22
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: and attack ollies threatening to invade the Kingdom of Denmark

23
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: and destroy Nata. Here is the answer from President Emanuel Macron.

24
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 4: But we do prefer respect to bullie, we do prefer

25
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 4: science to plutism, and we do prefer rule of law

26
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 4: to brutality. We have a place where rule of law

27
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 4: and predictability is still the rule.

28
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 5: Of the game. And my guess is that it is

29
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 5: largely unenterprised by the market. Having a place like Europe

30
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 5: which sometimes is too slow for sure and needs to

31
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 5: be reformed for sure, which she's predictable, loyal, and when

32
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 5: where you knew that the rule of the game is

33
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 5: just the rule of lou it's a good place.

34
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: Here was the Democratic front runner Gavin Newsom, making clear

35
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: that appeasement in the twenty first century leads to the

36
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: same road of ruin as it did in the twentieth.

37
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 3: And stop being complicity. It's time to stand tall and firm,

38
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 3: have a backbone. I can't take this complicity people rolling over.

39
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 6: I should have brought up a bunch of knee pads

40
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 6: for all the world leaders. And I hope people understand

41
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 6: how pathetic they look on the world stage. I mean,

42
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 6: at least from an American perspective, it's embarrassing.

43
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 3: So what should you and I doing?

44
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 6: They usually decide. The European should decide for themselves what

45
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 6: to do. But one thing they can't do is what

46
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 6: they've been doing. And they've been playing. So it's been

47
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 6: playing folks for fools and it's embarrassing European state.

48
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 3: This is deploymacy and this will also this is diplomacy

49
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 3: with Donald Trump. He's a t rex. You mate with

50
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 3: him or he devours you one or the other. I

51
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 3: need to stemon No.

52
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 6: The Europeans could be if they continue to put down

53
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 6: this path and process. They need to stand tall, stand firm,

54
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 6: stand united. Look, you said this a year ago. We

55
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 6: should have been having this conversation and they didn't. Okay,

56
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 6: and now you're paying the price exactly what anyone Objectiveserver

57
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 6: would have anticipated with the where we are to.

58
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: Here is the Prime Minister of Belgium.

59
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 7: But now so many red lines are being crossed that

60
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 7: you have the choice between your self respect. Being a

61
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 7: happy vessel is one thing, being a miserable slave is

62
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 7: something else. If you back down now, you're going to

63
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 7: lose your dignity. And that's probably the most precious thing

64
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 7: you can have in a democracy.

65
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 3: It's your dignity.

66
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: A happy vassal or an unhappy slave, is how he

67
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: sees it. And of course there is the address by

68
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: the Canadian Prime Minister. It is a world historic speech.

69
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: One year after Trump's vile inaugural that rejected and repudiated

70
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: the Atlantic Charter. One of the charter members of the

71
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: Free World, Canada has answered.

72
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 8: We knew the story of the international rules base order

73
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,799
Speaker 8: was partially false, that the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient,

74
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 8: that trade rules were enforced asymmetrically, and we knew that

75
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 8: international law applied with variant rigor depending on the identity

76
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 8: of the accused or the victim. This fiction was useful.

77
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 8: An American hegemony, in particular, helped provide public goods, open

78
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 8: sea lanes, a stable financial system, collective security, and support

79
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 8: for frameworks for resolving disputes. So we placed the sign

80
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 8: in the window, We participated in the rituals, and we

81
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 8: largely avoided calling out the gaps between rhetoric and reality.

82
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 5: This bargain no longer works.

83
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: It is an extraordinary address. It is a smashing through

84
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: the potempting window of normalcy. Morc Carney explained how tutalitarianism works,

85
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: and he refuses to be the shopkeeper that puts the

86
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: sign up every day no more. Carney demonstrated he's a

87
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: serious man in a serious time. Eighty years ago, the

88
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: world paid a terrible price for appeasement. Here's what Winston

89
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: Churchill said then. And late last night, Democratic senators capitulated

90
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: to Donald Trump suggesting that they will deliver the votes

91
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: to fund his gestapo, his secret police, the collaborators, Corey Booker,

92
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: Patty Murray. They're the same appeasers that Gavin Newsome is

93
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: warning about in Europe.

94
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 6: This is co read. I mean, you guys are still

95
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 6: playing by all set of rules. Everybody with Globe is

96
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 6: with this guy. He's unmoored. It's the law of the jungle.

97
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 6: It's the rule of Don and I hope it's donning

98
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 6: on the world what we're up against.

99
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 3: I mean, this is this is serious.

100
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 6: This guy is.

101
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 3: He's he's not mad, he's very.

102
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 6: Intentional, but he's unmoored and he's unhinged and it requires

103
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 6: the goal is whatever he wants it to be about.

104
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,679
Speaker 3: The goal is the world in his image. What would yours?

105
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 3: A narcissay? I mean, it's just it's no advice of

106
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 3: common sense.

107
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 6: Why don't Why don't folks do what they say publicly,

108
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 6: what they're saying in private. Why don't they just simply

109
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 6: do what they know is right. I mean, everybody's talking

110
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 6: behind his back, they're laughing, and I don't. Meanwhile, they're sucking

111
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 6: up to him. It's embarrassing. I mean, this is your

112
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 6: modeling behavior for our kids, generations of folks. This is

113
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 6: not the pomacy.

114
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 3: This is stupidity.

115
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 1: Appeasement and malice together have led us to the edge

116
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: of ruin. And so let me leave you with these

117
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: words from the Canadian Prime Minister, because they are a

118
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: warning of things to come where we will be poorer

119
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: and our children will have left because of the fascist

120
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: Donald Trump.

121
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 5: Let me be direct.

122
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 8: We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition.

123
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 8: Over the past two decades, a series of crises in finance, health, energy,

124
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 8: and geopolitics have laid bare the risks of extreme global integration.

125
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 8: But more recently, great powers have begun using economic integration

126
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 8: as weapons. Tariffs's leverage, financial infrastructure, is coercion, supply chains

127
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 8: as vulnerabilities to be exploited. You cannot live within the

128
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 8: lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the

129
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 8: source of your subordination.

130
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: Bob Steve met this is the warning. I invite you

131
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: to join this community where I promise to be honest,

132
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: blunt and direct about what is happening in this country.

133
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: America is in crisis. Follow and subscribe to this channel

134
