1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,120 Speaker 1: This is the warning. Good day everybody. Later this evening, 2 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: I'll be talking to hundreds of people with Beto o'roor 3 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,800 Speaker 1: here in Tulsa, Oklahoma about what's happening in America. First, 4 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 1: let me share a story about a decision making process. 5 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: It's called the OODA loop. It stands for Observe, Orient, 6 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: decide and act. Think about it in a circle, moving 7 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:34,839 Speaker 1: clockwise from the top. Observe, orient, decide and act. So 8 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 1: let us talk about what it is that we have 9 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: observed this week with Donald Trump. Specifically, what do we 10 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: see on the lapel of the suit jacket of the 11 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: FCC chairman, who is responsible for regulating the broadcast airwaves 12 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: and the licenses of media stations in the United States. 13 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: What is that's orient to that? The golden Trump pen 14 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: worn by a government official. It seems to me to be, 15 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: as I orient towards it, similar to a pin that 16 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: Chinese communists would wear with Chairman mal on it, or 17 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: perhaps the pin that the National Socialists would wear, the 18 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: party pin. I cannot think of anything that I've ever 19 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: seen any American government official wear that is fundamentally more 20 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: un American and more frightening. Donald Trump is the leader 21 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: of a fascist political movement that is attacking the United 22 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: States from within. He is surrounded by malevolence and sick offhans, 23 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: dangerous people, fools, and clowns, none more so than the 24 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: self serious, belligerent Stephen Miller. He's always reminded me a 25 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: bit of the character from the movie Stripes, Francis better 26 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: known as Psycho, And I always remember that scene where 27 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: Sergeant Hulka the big Toe tell Psycho, lighten up Francis. 28 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: And it would be good if someone might have said 29 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: that to Stephen Miller along the path of his development. 30 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: But for Santa Monica Goebbels, no such luck at any rate. 31 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 1: After a week of market chaos, this is what Stephen 32 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: Miller said. 33 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 2: We're on the verge now because the President Trump's strengthened 34 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 2: leadership of fixing our entire global trading system. President Trump 35 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 2: is going to fix our global trading relationships and at 36 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 2: the same time he's going to work with Congress to 37 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 2: make America in the manufacturing center of the world with 38 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 2: the lowest taxes, the lowest regulations, and the cheapest energy. 39 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: This is what Stephen Miller posted on social media, And 40 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: of course he wasn't alone. The Wyoming Senator John Barrasso 41 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 1: was picked up on a live mic telling Trump that 42 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: he was a genius for the stock market. Now, the 43 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: stock market went up yesterday, and there may be some 44 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 1: people out there who say, wow, the stock market went up. 45 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: It did. It's not a good thing. It went down 46 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: thousands of points. It went up thousands of points, all 47 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 1: of it on currents of madness, in coherence, and insanity. 48 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: In the instant that Donald Trump is saying he will 49 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 1: never negotiate it, He'll never back down. He's preparing to 50 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: back down. He sends out a message by stocks manipulating 51 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: the markets, and then he manipulates the markets while trillions 52 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: of dollars is being evaporated. Donald Trump's sons are feeding 53 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: like pigs at the bitcoin trough. Donald Trump is feeding 54 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: at the bigcoin trough. And now all of the Wall 55 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: Street billionaires around Donald Trump are manipulating the market. Donald 56 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: Trump drives it down down thousands of points, and then 57 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: Donald Trump does something that lifts it up thousands of points. 58 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: They all make money and ordinary people go broke. Let's 59 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: talk about the cost of this. The mental health of 60 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: millions of Americans has been savagely attacked their stability as 61 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: they pursue happiness, as they take the risk with their restaurant, 62 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: with their ranch, with their farm, with their baby. Business 63 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: people buy things on credit to stay in business. They 64 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: take loans out, they meet payrolls, they pay for their employees' 65 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 1: health insurance. And they are being attacked by their government. 66 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: And that's what this is. Donald Trump has proved he 67 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: has no staying power, he has no guts, he's got 68 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: no stamina. He can't hang into the fight. He backed down, 69 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: and he backed down because he's coalition cracked up. Elon 70 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:07,919 Speaker 1: Musk has been defenestrated, severed from Trump clowns by his 71 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: twenty five million dollar loss in Wisconsin. His companies are 72 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: under siege. Tesla is on its way to bankruptcy. Donald 73 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: Trump is at a forty one percent approval level. The situation, 74 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: though grim, is clear. A Donald Trump is attacking America. 75 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: He's attacking the constitution and civil liberties. He is attacking 76 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: the American economy. He is attacking the American military. He 77 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: is attacking the Department of Justice. He is attacking the 78 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: intelligence agencies. He is attacking the markets. He is attacking 79 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 1: our allies. He's leading an attack aimed at destabilizing the 80 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: country so that he may offer a solution which will 81 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: be wrapped in a demand for more and more and 82 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 1: more power, which he will hand out to people wearing 83 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: golden Trump pens, who will have a license to take 84 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: whatever they please from whomever they want, because they will 85 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 1: be powerful. And unless you have the golden Trump pen, 86 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: you will not. You can get the golden Trump pen. 87 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 1: All you have to do is surrender your principles. All 88 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: you have to do is abandon your initiative. All you 89 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: have to do is get in line. All you have 90 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 1: to do is say yes forever more to the idea 91 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump is the greatest genius has ever been. 92 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: And unless you do, it will be hard for you 93 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: to get ahead in Trump's America. That's the proposition on 94 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 1: the table. That's what we're saying. One hundred days ago, 95 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: we were still weeks away from Donald Trump taking power 96 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: from any of his cabinet being confirmed. How are they doing. 97 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 1: We have a defense secretary with a clown real estate 98 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: developer named Steve Wikoff who has no clue about the 99 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: world what he's doing in it, in Moscow receiving top 100 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: secret plans about a military strike that gave away the 101 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: position of American aircraft carriers. There's no accountability for this 102 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: accountability and a fascist regime like Trump's is only for 103 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: the little people, never for anyone at the top. We 104 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: have the Director of National Intelligence on that email, the 105 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: Secretary of State, clowns, criminal ne'er do wells, accused rapists, 106 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: can't make it up. Democratic Governor of Michigan Gretchen Whitmer 107 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: is advised by her team, who thinks that they're capable 108 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: of running a presidential campaign, that hey, in the middle 109 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: of this insanity is the time to go to Washington, 110 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: DC and give a speech that basically says, hey, Trump's 111 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: that's right, but I do it a different way. And 112 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: she did that not because Trump's right. She knows he's incoherent, 113 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: but she thought, opportunistically, I can make my move, distinguish 114 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: myself from my fellow Democrats. Go in there, make it 115 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: about Gretchen Whitmer in this moment of existential crisis, not 116 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: do anything to contribute to the building of a national opposition, 117 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: but position me for whatever primary may go first. So 118 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: Rich and Whitmer goes to Washington and she gives a speech. 119 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 1: The speech was pedantic. The speech was boring, it was 120 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: delivered without charisma. It was not a presidential good first look. 121 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 1: And then she probably finished herself off when she went 122 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 1: to the Oval Office and was used as a hostage 123 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: pawn because she's naive, because she's a lammy who went 124 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: into the wolf Sten unprepared and stood there like a 125 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: useful idiot against the wall as Donald Trump threatened to 126 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: use the Department of Justice. Well used to the Department 127 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: of Justice to investigate a political critic. That's what's happening 128 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 1: in America. Trump's a genius. All you have to do 129 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: is put on the golden Trump pen and things will 130 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: be good for you. The United States of America is 131 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: attacking Canada, it's attacking Denmark. Donald Trump has fundamentally taken 132 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,319 Speaker 1: the Russian position against the free and fighting people of Ukraine. 133 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: He has assaulted, assailed, and attacked our allies. And then 134 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: he went to war with China, trade war, and China 135 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: has the cards and you can't fix stupid. So Donald 136 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: Trump's trade war turned out to be a picket's charge 137 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: of stupidity into the teeth of the Chinese who bit 138 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: his hand off. But his hand is America's hand, and 139 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: so one hundred days in America is poorer than it 140 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: was when Donald Trump took office. America is weaker than 141 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: when Donald Trump took office. Donald Trump can be seen clearly. 142 00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: He's incoherent. He's a buffoon. World leaders don't take seriously. 143 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: Nobody's calling Donald to kiss his ass. And by the way, 144 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: how do those world leaders kissing Donald's ass, even if 145 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: it was true, help you. Donald just likes lips on 146 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: his ass. For almost one hundred days, Donald Trump and 147 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 1: his family have been on a crime spree. For almost 148 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: one hundred days, Donald Trump has been threatening people, threatening 149 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: to investigate people, now investigating people, snatching people off the 150 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: streets and chaining them. Democratic governors are going down to 151 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: Washington and trying to maneuver by playing footsie with these people. 152 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: Gavin Usom doing it with Charlie Kirk, doing it with 153 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: Steve Bannon, not going to places like Oklahoma, not going 154 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: to places like Mississippi. To stand up and to say 155 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: to all the American people, as Democrats, we misled you 156 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,719 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four. We're going to do better. This 157 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: is what this party stands for. It stands for the 158 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: ordinary American person who wants to pursue happiness and live 159 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: in liberty. That is the greatness of the Democratic Party 160 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: should stand for the proposition of the four freedoms, freedom 161 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from fear, freedom from want. 162 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: There will be more poor people in America after this 163 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: Trump presidency than at any point since the Great Depression. 164 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: Poverty is going on, opportunity is going down. The economic 165 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: pie in America is shrinking, and the security of the 166 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: American people with it. Donald Trump came into office with 167 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: a plan with a sledgehammer, a fascist with a chainsaw, 168 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:39,199 Speaker 1: giving Nazi salutes, and he went to work. The Democratic 169 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: majority under Chuck Schumer appeased him, coddled him, enabled him, 170 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: did not fight back. And here we are in crisis. 171 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: It is time to wake up and it is time 172 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: to defend the American Republic from these people and this insanity. 173 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: It is time to blow part the assumptions that say 174 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: that most of the country is faded to live under 175 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 1: the rule of these people without an alternative voice being offered, 176 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 1: because that's just the way it is. Some states are 177 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: red and some states are blue. Into that I say bullshit. 178 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 1: Oklahoma and Mississippi and Arkansas and All of these places 179 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 1: are American states, part of the Union, filled with Americans 180 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 1: who want to live in liberty and not be the 181 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:35,719 Speaker 1: abuse victims of their politicians who work for us, not 182 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: for Trump. And that is the proposition at hand. And 183 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: this is the morning. I'm Steve Schmidt.
