WEBVTT - President Macron Won't Stand for Trump's Lies

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:05.480
<v Speaker 1>This is the warning. Yesterday, the President of the French Republic,

0:00:05.519 --> 0:00:09.039
<v Speaker 1>Emmanuel Macromee, came to the White House. I want you

0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:12.680
<v Speaker 1>to look at this image, the President of the United

0:00:12.680 --> 0:00:16.000
<v Speaker 1>States and the president of the French Republic. I'd like

0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:18.919
<v Speaker 1>you to look at the flags, the stars and stripes,

0:00:19.160 --> 0:00:25.000
<v Speaker 1>and the French tricolor. We are bound together, France and

0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:30.320
<v Speaker 1>the United States, inexorably linked by our history. One of

0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:35.080
<v Speaker 1>the men who helped breathe life into the American Republic,

0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:38.960
<v Speaker 1>who helped give it a kiss of life, was named

0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Gilbert du Montier, better known in America as Lafayette, the

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:50.200
<v Speaker 1>Marquis de Lafayette. When Lafayette threw the smoke at York Town, Virginia,

0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:56.000
<v Speaker 1>with George Washington in command, saw the white flag rays

0:00:56.120 --> 0:01:03.520
<v Speaker 1>above British lines, he declared, humanity has its victory, liberty

0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:08.600
<v Speaker 1>has its country. And he prophesied that the new world,

0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:13.520
<v Speaker 1>this bastion of liberty, would save the old and it

0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 1>did in the First World War. When the first American

0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:22.039
<v Speaker 1>forces to ever leave our shores as an expeditionary force

0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:25.880
<v Speaker 1>came to fight in the First European War of the

0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:30.559
<v Speaker 1>twentieth century, they marched in a formation to Lafayette's grave,

0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:36.959
<v Speaker 1>and the commander of the detachment said, Lafayette, we are here.

0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:42.160
<v Speaker 1>There are tens of thousands of Americans buried in French soil.

0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:46.400
<v Speaker 1>We are bound together not by the art of the deal,

0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:52.440
<v Speaker 1>not by transactions, not by the bonds of gold and

0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:58.160
<v Speaker 1>money and material things, but the ephemeral ones human dignity

0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:03.640
<v Speaker 1>and liberty. When you see the French president standing with

0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:09.280
<v Speaker 1>the American president talking about freedom and talking about liberty,

0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:14.480
<v Speaker 1>and you see the look of contempt on Donald Trump's face,

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:18.920
<v Speaker 1>there is only one thing for any decent patriot to

0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 1>be thinking, and that is Viva Lafoss. Emmanuel McCone. The

0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:28.960
<v Speaker 1>first thing that you should notice in this news conference,

0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:33.040
<v Speaker 1>and it's a big deal. The French president speaks French

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:38.160
<v Speaker 1>when he is at bilateral news conferences, particularly with an

0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:43.320
<v Speaker 1>American president. But here he has dispensed with the protocol

0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:48.000
<v Speaker 1>because Emmanuel maccone has important things to say to the

0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:53.080
<v Speaker 1>American people. Because we are being steered into the rock

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:58.480
<v Speaker 1>by a captain drunk with power and staffed by a

0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:03.160
<v Speaker 1>ship of fools. They are bringing us with each day,

0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 1>with each malpractice, not closer to peace but to war,

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:15.480
<v Speaker 1>and war in Europe. This hour that we stand in

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:19.680
<v Speaker 1>is the most important of the twenty first century. And

0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump and Elon Musk and JD. Vance In all

0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:29.959
<v Speaker 1>the rest of his pack of henchmen have no idea

0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:34.359
<v Speaker 1>what it is that they are doing except for wrecking

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:39.440
<v Speaker 1>what other better men and women built that led on

0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:45.320
<v Speaker 1>an eighty year basis to the greatest fastest period of

0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:51.920
<v Speaker 1>human progress in all of recorded human civilization. And that

0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:55.480
<v Speaker 1>is what Donald Trump is taking a blow towards two.

0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:59.680
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump is going to be the architect of a

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:04.960
<v Speaker 1>deal that makes the Munich Agreement look like a well

0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:08.160
<v Speaker 1>what else could be said about it? If that appeasement

0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:11.360
<v Speaker 1>is to be repeated, but this time with the full

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:16.160
<v Speaker 1>knowledge of where appeasements lead. We should understand that Donald

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Trump's vanity is lost to in the moment be credited

0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:25.240
<v Speaker 1>with doing something anything will make the world burn. And

0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:29.120
<v Speaker 1>so let's watch the French president set the record straight.

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:33.679
<v Speaker 2>You just so you understand, Europe is loaning the money

0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:34.200
<v Speaker 2>to Ukraine.

0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:36.640
<v Speaker 1>They get their money back, No, in fact, be to

0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 1>be frank. We paid.

0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:41.240
<v Speaker 2>We paid sixty percent of the total defaults and it

0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:45.680
<v Speaker 2>was who I'd like the US loans Ganzy grants and

0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:48.719
<v Speaker 2>we provided the pail money. To be clear, we have

0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:53.080
<v Speaker 2>two hundred and thirty billion frozen assets in Europe Lucian assets.

0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:56.440
<v Speaker 2>But this is not as a connecting of Aulon because

0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 2>this is not all belonging. So they are frozen. If

0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:02.919
<v Speaker 2>a of the negotiation moving up with Rushaw, they're ready

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:06.000
<v Speaker 2>to give to give it to us super If would

0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:07.520
<v Speaker 2>be on at the end of the Dean RuSHA would

0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:09.239
<v Speaker 2>have paid for that.

0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:12.880
<v Speaker 1>You WI, It's okay with me. It is not true

0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:17.559
<v Speaker 1>what Donald Trump has been saying. Europe has given more

0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:22.160
<v Speaker 1>to Ukraine than the United States. And Ukraine and the

0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:26.560
<v Speaker 1>brave men and women have defended freedom with their lives,

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:30.800
<v Speaker 1>with their blood, with their kidnap children, and the United

0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:34.680
<v Speaker 1>States is indifferent to their suffering. The President of the

0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:38.479
<v Speaker 1>United States looks in the camera and he calls the

0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Ukrainian president a dictator. Would you use the same webs

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:49.240
<v Speaker 1>with all inclusive? Uh? I don't use those words lightly.

0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:51.000
<v Speaker 1>I think that we're going to see how it all

0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:56.039
<v Speaker 1>works out. When Vladimir Putin has filled mass graves with

0:05:56.240 --> 0:06:00.760
<v Speaker 1>Ukrainian men and women and kidnap tens of thousands of children,

0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:04.880
<v Speaker 1>has sent a criminal army full of rapists into a

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:09.920
<v Speaker 1>European country, violating its sovereignty, violating its borders. And the

0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:13.360
<v Speaker 1>position of the United States is that peace comes at

0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:16.839
<v Speaker 1>the appeasement of the aggressor, because Donald Trump says so,

0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:20.680
<v Speaker 1>because he wants to make America great again, by stabbing

0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:24.919
<v Speaker 1>our allies in the back, betraying eighty years of collective security,

0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:28.359
<v Speaker 1>by bending his knee to a Russian dictator, because he

0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:32.039
<v Speaker 1>has an affinity for power and strong man. And when

0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:35.320
<v Speaker 1>he looks in the mirror and he sees Vladimir Putin

0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:39.920
<v Speaker 1>staring back, well, Trump's staring back. It's a jealous Trump

0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:43.839
<v Speaker 1>wishing it was Vladimir Putin staring back. Because all that

0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:47.280
<v Speaker 1>Trump cares about his power, all that Donald Trump cares

0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:50.279
<v Speaker 1>about his money. And Donald Trump has made that clear.

0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:55.080
<v Speaker 1>Let's dispense with the notion that the Trump revenist era

0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.760
<v Speaker 1>is to be an isolationist one, my friends, it is

0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:02.080
<v Speaker 1>to be a new age of imperialism, and the Russian

0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Empire will grow, and the Chinese Empire will grow, and

0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:10.840
<v Speaker 1>the American Empire will grow. This is Donald Trump's sick vision,

0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:14.640
<v Speaker 1>and it must be rejected by the American people who

0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:18.240
<v Speaker 1>look to our European friends and our shared values, and

0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:23.040
<v Speaker 1>remain committed to these words never again. What is happening

0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:27.320
<v Speaker 1>in America must be stopped. What is happening in Ukraine

0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:30.920
<v Speaker 1>with regard to Russian aggression must not be at peace.

0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:33.840
<v Speaker 1>If there is to be peace, it must be a

0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:38.320
<v Speaker 1>permanent peace, and it must be set with conditions that

0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:41.640
<v Speaker 1>may clear that it is Ukraine who has won this

0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:46.000
<v Speaker 1>war by surviving, and the Ukraine that survives, though smaller,

0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:49.960
<v Speaker 1>will be far more powerful. And Russia, which attack a

0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:53.840
<v Speaker 1>peaceful neighbor, will not be made powerful by the fruits

0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:58.080
<v Speaker 1>of its contrast, but rather suffer the consequences of it

0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:01.720
<v Speaker 1>a poorer nation that had sent eight hundred thousand of

0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:05.840
<v Speaker 1>its young men to die for Vladimir Putin's ego. And

0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:09.640
<v Speaker 1>the question for you, my friends, my fellow American citizens,

0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:13.040
<v Speaker 1>is how many of our sons, how many young American

0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.040
<v Speaker 1>men are going to have to die in the world

0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:19.400
<v Speaker 1>to satisfy Donald Trump's ego? Will eight hundred thousand be enough?

0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Because it didn't Saint Vladimir Putins, He's ready for more.

0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:27.040
<v Speaker 1>The most dangerous days in eighty years are upon us

0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:31.560
<v Speaker 1>because of the foolishness, the lack of wisdom, of one man,

0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:36.959
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump. This is the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt. This
