1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: This is the warning. Hey, everybody, Steve Schmidt here, and

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: I just wanted to respond to the madness the American

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: people just witnessed in the Oval Office between the fascist

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is thick of fants and his retainers. We

5
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: saw the incompetent White House Chief of Staff, Donald Trump's

6
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 1: top of the totem pole little aikman Stephen Miller. We

7
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: saw the unctious Howard Lutnik, and the incompetent Marco Rubio

8
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: and J. D. Vance, And of course the Canadian Prime Minister,

9
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: an intelligent man, a tough man, watching all of the

10
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: insanity unfold all around him. Now, the first thing that

11
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 1: should be said is about the hooties. The idea that

12
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: the hooties have surrendered to Donald Trump and that the

13
00:00:54,880 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: American military campaign has succeeded will not last for forty

14
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 1: eight hours, if even a day. It is all madness.

15
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: Another thing that's madness are Donald Trump's representations about the

16
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: trillions of dollars of factories that are coming. Every one

17
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: of those factories is exact rail that Trump actually, maybe

18
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: for the first time ever accurately described There is no

19
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: California high speed rail. It doesn't exist. Despite the billions,

20
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: just like there will never be any of these Trump factories.

21
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: He stammered, He rambled. We heard the musings of an

22
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 1: imbecile next to one of the world's most accomplished bankers,

23
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: who saved the Bank of England after Brexit, and who

24
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: saved in part the global financial system during the two

25
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: thousand and eight two thousand and nine financial crisis. Can

26
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: you imagine having to sit there with a straight It

27
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: is incredible, it is unspeakable. But what we saw was

28
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: the Canadian Prime Minister resolutely say Canada will never be

29
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: the fifty first state. It is a sovereign nation and

30
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: the Canadian people like it that way. But of course,

31
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: like always when judged against any normal standard, it was deranged,

32
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: It was disrespectful, and it was completely incoherent. Donald Trump

33
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: does not understand the world he lives in. He does

34
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: not run it, and the American people do not support him.

35
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: The Donald Trump never had a mandate. He won with

36
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: forty nine point nine percent of the vote. He ran

37
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: promising to fix the economy and he has wrecked it.

38
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: And so as he talks all of this nontent, today,

39
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: a tsunami is racing towards American shore. And that tsunami

40
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: will hit noon, and it will bring devastation economically for

41
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: ordinary Americans, including mostly Trump's voters. Store shelves will be empty.

42
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: The American people will suffer. And what was seen today

43
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:31,399
Speaker 1: in the Oval Office is incompetence, deep corruption, epic idiocy,

44
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: all of it orchestrated by an American president who is

45
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: a vandal, our great national arsonist who's tearing it all down,

46
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: surrounded by sicker fans who telling me he's a genius.

47
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: What we thought today was an untreated psychiatric patient, a

48
00:03:54,840 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: meglomaniac whose malignant narcissism has taken its legs full step

49
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: into the realm of the completely insane. So many people

50
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: will be hurt, So much chaos lies ahead, all of it,

51
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: all of it orchestrated by the mad conductor, the man

52
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: who thinks he is the king, the greatest fool who

53
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: has ever risen to power in America, Our malignant demagogue,

54
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. What a pity, What a debasement and desecration,

55
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: The tackiness of the Oval Office, the gold It's disgusting.

56
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is failing. The American people are rejecting this.

57
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: And while they suffer, his sons Ude and Cuse, Eric

58
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: and Junior, our globe trotting around the world, swilling five

59
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: hundred dollars bottles of Champagne in Dubai, doing crypto deals.

60
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: This is the most corrupt moment in all the history

61
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: of America. This is the most dangerous moment since the

62
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: Civil War. Donald Trump is an American fascist surrounded by idiots,

63
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: and he's just getting started. In the end, we will prevail.

64
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: He will be defeated, and Maga will wind up on

65
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: the ash heap of history. But when we look back

66
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: on this era, our ancestors, like our descendants, will all

67
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: scorn us because this was all unnecessary and what brought

68
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: us to this low point should never have been in

69
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: the first place. But here we are, and how we

70
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: got here is much less important than how we get out.

71
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: And how we get out is by recognizing this as

72
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: a transcendent moral moment grounded in deep truths about liberty

73
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: and freedom and right and wrong, because that is the

74
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: key to unlocking the door to the pathway of better

75
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: and better, a vision for the future, to build the

76
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: city on a hill. That is how Trump and Maga

77
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: ultimately will be defeated. Good day to you all. I'm
