1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: Rudolph Giuliani turned out to be a Titanic fraud. That's 2 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: on him. Mark Meadows turned out to be a fraud, 3 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,960 Speaker 1: and that's on him. Boris Epstein turned out to be 4 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 1: a fraud, and that's on him. All of the Trump detritus, 5 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: all of them have done damage to this country. And 6 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: now it's up to us to say enough to end 7 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 1: this madness, to repudiate it. It's not enough for President 8 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:32,199 Speaker 1: Biden to win in November. He must win decisively. He 9 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 1: must win decisively so this madness can end permanently. It 10 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 1: is time to bury this toxic poison back under the 11 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 1: deep ground and cork it with concrete. It is the 12 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: twenty fifth of April, and there are one hundred and 13 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: ninety four days left until the American people will decide 14 00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: between President Biden and the accused felon Donald Trump. Who 15 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: will sit behind the resolute desk and command the most 16 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: powerful nuclear arsenal in world history. Joe Biden or this 17 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 1: man the sleepy don, an indicted criminal who cannot stay 18 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,199 Speaker 1: awake for his trial, who rages and seedes, who intimidates, 19 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 1: who tweets through the night. Who is losing control? A 20 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 1: great question is at hand. Will the American people measure 21 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: up soon? We'll know this is the warning. Another day, 22 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: more indictments, this time from the state of Arizona, leading 23 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: the docket in the doc once again to disgraced and 24 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: bankrupt former America's mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani. There is no 25 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: person across American history, with the possible exception of Benedict Arnold, 26 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: who has had a greater fall. A name that was 27 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: once widely admired across all of America is now a laughingstock. 28 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: Rudolph Giuliani is a degenerate, a liar, a hypocrite, and 29 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: a stooge. His entire life's work was undone by his 30 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: fantastical ego, which is also a brittle one. This man, 31 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: a former mayor of New York City, became Donald Trump's valet, 32 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: his handmaid. He served him in every way imaginable until 33 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: it led to his ruin, along with the former White 34 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:40,399 Speaker 1: House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, another lying conniver who 35 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: was a vandal for every single day that he served 36 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: in the United States Congress. He got to Washington and 37 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: did everything he could to hurt America for the purposes 38 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: of making himself famous. He knew that if he could 39 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: be a big enough demagogue, he could get all the 40 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: way to the Mark Meadows made it to the White House, 41 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: into the Oval Office. This man, with no principle, no judgment, 42 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: low intellect, had access to the nation's most closely guarded secrets. 43 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: When you think about our national decay, and you think 44 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: about the collapse of probity and rectitude, im morality and decency, 45 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: it is astonishing. Mark Meadows is the exact polar opposite 46 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: of a man named Andy Card, who served with honor 47 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: as George W. Bush's White House Chief of Staff. Mark 48 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: Meadows managed even to exceed discumbaggery and criminality of Hr Halderman, 49 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: who was probably the worst White House Chief of staff 50 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: in history until Meadows. And now mister Meadows will have 51 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: his day in court along with another Trump. Said a 52 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: fan Boris Epstein, all of this has been a fantastical fraud. 53 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: When our progeny looked back on this era, what will 54 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: they say about us that we permitted a man to 55 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 1: take political power, who ran a fake university and a 56 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: tangle of fraudulent charities, who lied over and over again, 57 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: who is recorded on tape pretending to be a pr 58 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: spokesperson named John Barren talking about the virtues of Donald Trump. 59 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 1: This creature from Queens, that he has become the dominant 60 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 1: figure in American society is an indictment of the nation 61 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: and its character in this moment. It can be no 62 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: other way, and the country has to understand that all 63 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: of us have an obligation to be involved in the 64 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 1: renewal of the country and a recovery from this moment, 65 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: that we go on a voyage together in search of 66 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 1: something better than this low man in this low crowd 67 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 1: of people. Look at Ted Cruz. Look at the change 68 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: in appearance of Ted Cruz. Let's look at some pictures, 69 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: pictures of decrepitude and decay of sloth. Let's look at 70 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: Joe Biden in two thoy and sixteen. Look at him today. Yeah, 71 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: he's older, but he looks the same. Let's look at Trump. 72 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: He's more decayed, more bloated, more crazy looking today, but 73 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: he too looks largely the same, doesn't he? Look at 74 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: Ted Cruz. If you're a Texas voter, you appreciate why 75 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: Ted Cruz looks like this. You understand why Ted Cruz 76 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: doesn't have morning events. You understand why this hollow man 77 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: with no character has changed so profoundly in Washington, right, 78 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 1: this little man ran away from his responsibilities to can't kuon. 79 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: He won't defend his wife from the viciousness of a 80 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: bully's attacks. He won't defend his father. It turns out 81 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 1: the entire Trump enterprise is just an incandescent fraud from 82 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: top to bottom. The absurd allegation that Raphael Cruz was 83 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 1: involved in the Kennedy assassination completely made up. Part of 84 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: the conspiracy of lies that has gone on for nine 85 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: years is intimidated struck fear into the hearts of cowards 86 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: like Cruise, like Josh Holly, another hollow man who incited 87 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:16,239 Speaker 1: an insurrection and then hit in a closet Meadows, Epstein, Trump, 88 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller, Sidney Powell, Mike Lindell, Matt Schlapp, 89 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: the Nazi, Nick Flentis. These are some of the lowest 90 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: and most despicable people in the country. Yet they somehow 91 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: have managed to amass tremendous power, tremendous resources, and they 92 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: have an agenda. And their agenda is fundamentally to transform 93 00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: the character of the American government from one where people 94 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: serve imperfectly an idea. The country under an oath to 95 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: the Constitution. What they want to do is replace that 96 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: with an oath to Trump. This is the core meaning 97 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: of Project twenty twenty five. This is the aspiration of 98 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: people who wish to take power by any needs necessary, 99 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: and who have already indicated that unless they win, they 100 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: will challenge the result of the election. They will claim 101 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: that it was stolen, and they will use violence if 102 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: they must to take power. The argument is clear. They 103 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: disdain democracy, and they're becoming less and less shy about 104 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: saying it out loud, unlike the MAGA movement. When I 105 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: talk about that and I talk about them, I'm specific 106 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 1: I'm talking about Trump, and I'm talking about Tucker Carlson, 107 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: and I'm talking about the legion of useful idiots who 108 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: serviced Vladimir Putin by spreading his propaganda all over the 109 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: United States, poisoning the minds of the American people. I'm 110 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: talking about the Republican members of Congress who were involved 111 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: in a conspiracy of lives, who use their power as 112 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: committee chairman to defame the President of the United States, 113 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 1: who use their power of using the process of government 114 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: over and over again this moment in time in America 115 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety four days is perfectly clear. There 116 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: is a manifest threat at hand, and that threat is 117 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: sitting in a Manhattan courtroom, surrounded by a failings of 118 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: unprincipled men like Josh Holly and Ted Cruz and manymore. 119 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: And there's another type of jury. There's a political jury, 120 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: if you will, And our trial is an election, and 121 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: it is time to make a judgment in the country 122 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: about a whole board of people, a cohort that lacks 123 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:39,839 Speaker 1: principle and conviction and any integrity whatsoever, that does not 124 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: care about ordinary people. Remove them from power. We can 125 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 1: do this, it is our birthright. The failure to do 126 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: so will have profound consequences. Our politics will grow more violent, 127 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: it will grow more extreme, and the global security situation 128 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: will continue to deteriorate. I spent a passover Saya with 129 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: a young couple who had just emigrated to Canada. She 130 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: was from Belarus, he was from Ukraine. They came from Israel. 131 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: It's their second war. They're no different than Americans, except 132 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: for the fact that they have not had the opportunities 133 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: to live in peace and freedom that we take for granted. 134 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: There is a simple truth. There are two major wars 135 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 1: underway in the world, one in the Middle East and 136 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: one in Europe, and they will draw inexorably closer to 137 00:11:55,280 --> 00:12:02,199 Speaker 1: American shores. If this MAGA movement regains political power and begins, 138 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 1: what will become the age and era of the Dictator. 139 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: Only this time the person in the White House won't 140 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: be Franklin Roosevelt. It will be a person on the 141 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: side of the dictator, and in four years time his 142 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: capacity to do real chaos should be indisputable. Donald Trump 143 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: is promising us a police state where millions will be 144 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: locked up, put into camps awaiting deportation. Think this through. 145 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: What does that look like? Does it mean checkpoints on 146 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: your block, on your street, at your corner, papers please 147 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: on the train, at the gracery store. Is this what 148 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: we want? Do we want big government like that? Do 149 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: we want government peering in the window, sitting in the 150 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,839 Speaker 1: confessional with us, in the delivery room, with us from 151 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: cradle to grave. This is not what free people want. 152 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: This is not what Americans have ever wanted, and yet 153 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: it is the proposition at hand offered by the MAGA 154 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,439 Speaker 1: extremists under the banner of the oldest lie there is, 155 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: which is trust us, give us power, and we'll fix 156 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: all the problems. We'll take away all the complexity and 157 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: make things simple again. We'll make everything great and good 158 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: and pure again. You see, all of the problems can 159 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: be fixed if we just point out who's to blame. 160 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: And the thing that the people to blame always have 161 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,959 Speaker 1: in common is how few in number they actually are. 162 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: And yet history teaches us over and over again, the 163 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 1: demagogue will use they in them to rally a community 164 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 1: of us as against the days and thems against the threat. 165 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: And history teaches us when somebody promising punishment and persecution 166 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: takes office in political power, there has never been an 167 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: instance where they have not followed through on it. Ever. 168 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: And so how is it that we have arrived at 169 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: the edge of an abyss where the lie and the 170 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,479 Speaker 1: truth stand equal in the public square, where a presidential 171 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: candidate is promising a police state, promising to harass and 172 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: punish dissent, promising to arrest political opponents, promising mass deportation camps. 173 00:14:55,440 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: How have we gotten here? We have become tolerant of 174 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: what is intolerable, and it is time to face up 175 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: to the danger before it is too late. Rudolph Giuliani 176 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: turned out to be a Titanic fraud. That's on him. 177 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: Mark Meadows turned out to be a fraud, and that's 178 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: on him. Boris Epstein turned out to be a fraud, 179 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: and that's on him. All of the Trump detritus, all 180 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: of them have done damage to this country. And now 181 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,359 Speaker 1: it's up to us to say enough to end this madness, 182 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: to repudiate it. It's not enough for President Biden to 183 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: win in November. He must win decisively. He must win 184 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: decisively so this madness can end permanently. It is time 185 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: to bury this toxic poison back under the deep ground 186 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: and work it with concrete. The hate, the division, the demagogurey, 187 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: the nationalism, the jingoism, the venom. Nine years of time 188 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: has been wasted when America could have been building, unifying, 189 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: making progress in so many areas. Instead, we have become 190 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: the captives and hostages of the lowest man to ever 191 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: walk amongst us, who was given the highest honor that 192 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: could be given, and desecrated it as if he pissed 193 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: on it, like the protesters did the floor of the 194 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: House of Representative and US Senate, except they weren't protesters 195 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: were they They were insurrectionists and criminals and traders who 196 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: carried the Confederate flag through the rotunda of the Capitol 197 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty years after the Battle of Gettysburg, 198 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 1: finally penetrating the citadel of democracy, wrecking the peaceful transfer 199 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: of power, desecrating the high ideas and ideals of the 200 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 1: country through criminal acts of violence, in mayhem and murder, 201 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 1: all of it incited by a selfish old man who 202 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: can't stay awake in a court. It is an incredible 203 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: hour in this country. But it's time to end it. 204 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: This is the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt.
