Speaker 1: This is the warning. Yesterday, the President of the French Republic,
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Macromee, came to the White House. I want you
Speaker 1: to look at this image, the President of the United
Speaker 1: States and the president of the French Republic. I'd like
Speaker 1: you to look at the flags, the stars and stripes,
Speaker 1: and the French tricolor. We are bound together, France and
Speaker 1: the United States, inexorably linked by our history. One of
Speaker 1: the men who helped breathe life into the American Republic,
Speaker 1: who helped give it a kiss of life, was named
Speaker 1: Gilbert du Montier, better known in America as Lafayette, the
Speaker 1: Marquis de Lafayette. When Lafayette threw the smoke at York Town, Virginia,
Speaker 1: with George Washington in command, saw the white flag rays
Speaker 1: above British lines, he declared, humanity has its victory, liberty
Speaker 1: has its country. And he prophesied that the new world,
Speaker 1: this bastion of liberty, would save the old and it
Speaker 1: did in the First World War. When the first American
Speaker 1: forces to ever leave our shores as an expeditionary force
Speaker 1: came to fight in the First European War of the
Speaker 1: twentieth century, they marched in a formation to Lafayette's grave,
Speaker 1: and the commander of the detachment said, Lafayette, we are here.
Speaker 1: There are tens of thousands of Americans buried in French soil.
Speaker 1: We are bound together not by the art of the deal,
Speaker 1: not by transactions, not by the bonds of gold and
Speaker 1: money and material things, but the ephemeral ones human dignity
Speaker 1: and liberty. When you see the French president standing with
Speaker 1: the American president talking about freedom and talking about liberty,
Speaker 1: and you see the look of contempt on Donald Trump's face,
Speaker 1: there is only one thing for any decent patriot to
Speaker 1: be thinking, and that is Viva Lafoss. Emmanuel McCone. The
Speaker 1: first thing that you should notice in this news conference,
Speaker 1: and it's a big deal. The French president speaks French
Speaker 1: when he is at bilateral news conferences, particularly with an
Speaker 1: American president. But here he has dispensed with the protocol
Speaker 1: because Emmanuel maccone has important things to say to the
Speaker 1: American people. Because we are being steered into the rock
Speaker 1: by a captain drunk with power and staffed by a
Speaker 1: ship of fools. They are bringing us with each day,
Speaker 1: with each malpractice, not closer to peace but to war,
Speaker 1: and war in Europe. This hour that we stand in
Speaker 1: is the most important of the twenty first century. And
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and Elon Musk and JD. Vance In all
Speaker 1: the rest of his pack of henchmen have no idea
Speaker 1: what it is that they are doing except for wrecking
Speaker 1: what other better men and women built that led on
Speaker 1: an eighty year basis to the greatest fastest period of
Speaker 1: human progress in all of recorded human civilization. And that
Speaker 1: is what Donald Trump is taking a blow towards two.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is going to be the architect of a
Speaker 1: deal that makes the Munich Agreement look like a well
Speaker 1: what else could be said about it? If that appeasement
Speaker 1: is to be repeated, but this time with the full
Speaker 1: knowledge of where appeasements lead. We should understand that Donald
Speaker 1: Trump's vanity is lost to in the moment be credited
Speaker 1: with doing something anything will make the world burn. And
Speaker 1: so let's watch the French president set the record straight.
Speaker 2: You just so you understand, Europe is loaning the money
Speaker 2: to Ukraine.
Speaker 1: They get their money back, No, in fact, be to
Speaker 1: be frank. We paid.
Speaker 2: We paid sixty percent of the total defaults and it
Speaker 2: was who I'd like the US loans Ganzy grants and
Speaker 2: we provided the pail money. To be clear, we have
Speaker 2: two hundred and thirty billion frozen assets in Europe Lucian assets.
Speaker 2: But this is not as a connecting of Aulon because
Speaker 2: this is not all belonging. So they are frozen. If
Speaker 2: a of the negotiation moving up with Rushaw, they're ready
Speaker 2: to give to give it to us super If would
Speaker 2: be on at the end of the Dean RuSHA would
Speaker 2: have paid for that.
Speaker 1: You WI, It's okay with me. It is not true
Speaker 1: what Donald Trump has been saying. Europe has given more
Speaker 1: to Ukraine than the United States. And Ukraine and the
Speaker 1: brave men and women have defended freedom with their lives,
Speaker 1: with their blood, with their kidnap children, and the United
Speaker 1: States is indifferent to their suffering. The President of the
Speaker 1: United States looks in the camera and he calls the
Speaker 1: Ukrainian president a dictator. Would you use the same webs
Speaker 1: with all inclusive? Uh? I don't use those words lightly.
Speaker 1: I think that we're going to see how it all
Speaker 1: works out. When Vladimir Putin has filled mass graves with
Speaker 1: Ukrainian men and women and kidnap tens of thousands of children,
Speaker 1: has sent a criminal army full of rapists into a
Speaker 1: European country, violating its sovereignty, violating its borders. And the
Speaker 1: position of the United States is that peace comes at
Speaker 1: the appeasement of the aggressor, because Donald Trump says so,
Speaker 1: because he wants to make America great again, by stabbing
Speaker 1: our allies in the back, betraying eighty years of collective security,
Speaker 1: by bending his knee to a Russian dictator, because he
Speaker 1: has an affinity for power and strong man. And when
Speaker 1: he looks in the mirror and he sees Vladimir Putin
Speaker 1: staring back, well, Trump's staring back. It's a jealous Trump
Speaker 1: wishing it was Vladimir Putin staring back. Because all that
Speaker 1: Trump cares about his power, all that Donald Trump cares
Speaker 1: about his money. And Donald Trump has made that clear.
Speaker 1: Let's dispense with the notion that the Trump revenist era
Speaker 1: is to be an isolationist one, my friends, it is
Speaker 1: to be a new age of imperialism, and the Russian
Speaker 1: Empire will grow, and the Chinese Empire will grow, and
Speaker 1: the American Empire will grow. This is Donald Trump's sick vision,
Speaker 1: and it must be rejected by the American people who
Speaker 1: look to our European friends and our shared values, and
Speaker 1: remain committed to these words never again. What is happening
Speaker 1: in America must be stopped. What is happening in Ukraine
Speaker 1: with regard to Russian aggression must not be at peace.
Speaker 1: If there is to be peace, it must be a
Speaker 1: permanent peace, and it must be set with conditions that
Speaker 1: may clear that it is Ukraine who has won this
Speaker 1: war by surviving, and the Ukraine that survives, though smaller,
Speaker 1: will be far more powerful. And Russia, which attack a
Speaker 1: peaceful neighbor, will not be made powerful by the fruits
Speaker 1: of its contrast, but rather suffer the consequences of it
Speaker 1: a poorer nation that had sent eight hundred thousand of
Speaker 1: its young men to die for Vladimir Putin's ego. And
Speaker 1: the question for you, my friends, my fellow American citizens,
Speaker 1: is how many of our sons, how many young American
Speaker 1: men are going to have to die in the world
Speaker 1: to satisfy Donald Trump's ego? Will eight hundred thousand be enough?
Speaker 1: Because it didn't Saint Vladimir Putins, He's ready for more.
Speaker 1: The most dangerous days in eighty years are upon us
Speaker 1: because of the foolishness, the lack of wisdom, of one man,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. This is the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt. This
Speaker 1: is the warning and I invite you to join. Subscribe
