WEBVTT - The Trump Era is Starting

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:05.120
<v Speaker 1>This is the warning, and my warnings failed. Two years

0:00:05.160 --> 0:00:08.240
<v Speaker 1>from now, the American people will get a chance to

0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:11.840
<v Speaker 1>put a check on Donald Trump. But until then there

0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:15.640
<v Speaker 1>are no checks, at least not in Washington, DC. Yesterday,

0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:20.480
<v Speaker 1>while North Korean and Russian troops massed for their largest

0:00:20.640 --> 0:00:26.200
<v Speaker 1>assault on Ukraine, a European country, Donald Trump Junior U

0:00:26.280 --> 0:00:30.400
<v Speaker 1>Day for the next four years, taunted the Ukrainian head

0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:36.159
<v Speaker 1>of state, the spoiled, rotten child of the president elect

0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:39.640
<v Speaker 1>of the United States, said We're going to cut off

0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:43.640
<v Speaker 1>your allowance. There are hundreds of thousands of people dead,

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:46.839
<v Speaker 1>and the Russians have made clear they're not going to

0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:51.480
<v Speaker 1>stop in Ukraine. One of the consequences of the American

0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:56.640
<v Speaker 1>people's decision will be war. Now. The American people were

0:00:56.720 --> 0:01:00.760
<v Speaker 1>hustled by a con man, and by a significant majority,

0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:04.840
<v Speaker 1>they bought in. They bought into the lives of a

0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:07.960
<v Speaker 1>man who said he was a man of peace and

0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:11.679
<v Speaker 1>that peace comes through strength. He was right about that,

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:16.080
<v Speaker 1>peace does come through strength. But Trump is a fool,

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 1>and he's weak. And the world's dictators, whom he fetishizes

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:25.000
<v Speaker 1>and loves and praises, they laugh at him. They think

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:30.200
<v Speaker 1>of him as a fool. The most easily manipulatable American

0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:36.640
<v Speaker 1>president in American history. Our adversaries cannot compete with us economically,

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:42.640
<v Speaker 1>cannot compete with us technologically, cannot compete with us militarily.

0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:47.360
<v Speaker 1>What they have relied on is our idiotized culture. What

0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:50.280
<v Speaker 1>they have placed all of their bets on is the

0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 1>ransidity of the man the American people have made commander

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:58.440
<v Speaker 1>in chief. And the price will be very, very heavy.

0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:03.320
<v Speaker 1>The Democrats have no power in Washington, DC. They can

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:08.160
<v Speaker 1>stop nothing. They lost power because of cynicism, because they

0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:11.320
<v Speaker 1>embraced a man who was unfit to run, whose ego

0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.720
<v Speaker 1>was too big to turn away from power. And now

0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:18.960
<v Speaker 1>we have Trump. Let's talk about the three issues. The

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:23.160
<v Speaker 1>first is world peace, and Donald Trump, a week in

0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:27.040
<v Speaker 1>to being president elect, has set the path of the

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:33.559
<v Speaker 1>world inexorably towards war. Cutting off Ukraine will spread aggression

0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:36.480
<v Speaker 1>in Europe. There's really not a lot of point in

0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:39.840
<v Speaker 1>arguing about it. It will just happen. This will be

0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:44.240
<v Speaker 1>a brutal spring. We will forsake free people in Europe

0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:47.560
<v Speaker 1>and they will suffer. What a moment of national shame

0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:51.040
<v Speaker 1>for the United States. And the Chinese will be watching

0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:55.160
<v Speaker 1>and soon when their invasion fleet is ready. Before the

0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:58.920
<v Speaker 1>end of Trump's term, They'll move on Taiwan. The world

0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:04.040
<v Speaker 1>will be read, the world will be remade. A new

0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:08.080
<v Speaker 1>era has begun. Dana Bash had a question for the

0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:13.040
<v Speaker 1>ludicrously dishon as political extreme as Jim Jordan. All she

0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:16.679
<v Speaker 1>wanted to know was, how are you going to deport

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 1>fifteen million people from the continental borders of the United

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:23.959
<v Speaker 1>States of America. It's a fair.

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:27.040
<v Speaker 2>Question, I want to understand. So people say, like, let's

0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 2>say one of these people is living in their apartment complex.

0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:32.440
<v Speaker 2>Is the military going to come in, is it the

0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:36.600
<v Speaker 2>local law enforcement? How is it actually physically going to work?

0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 3>The Trump administration, the Department of Homeland Security will work

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:42.920
<v Speaker 3>with local law enforcement, and we'll focus on the people

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:45.160
<v Speaker 3>who one point three million have already been in front

0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:46.600
<v Speaker 3>of a judge and said, no, you're not entitled to

0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:48.680
<v Speaker 3>stay here, you have to be removed. There's an order

0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:50.800
<v Speaker 3>there court of Wall. They've had their due process, they've

0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:52.800
<v Speaker 3>had the whole process place.

0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 2>So let's move on beyond that population non criminals, people

0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:03.000
<v Speaker 2>who are in the country who are not legal citizens,

0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:05.720
<v Speaker 2>those who have not committed crimes.

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 3>We're starting with the criminal but after that three, well,

0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 3>we'll start there and then go from that point.

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:17.839
<v Speaker 1>This is what the American people voted for, and there

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:22.359
<v Speaker 1>is going to be a mass deportation. Trump promised. One

0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:26.479
<v Speaker 1>fifteen million appears to be the number. This will be

0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:31.599
<v Speaker 1>the most expensive logistical operation in American history. To put

0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:35.039
<v Speaker 1>it into perspective, during World War Two, the army of

0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:39.440
<v Speaker 1>the United States was sixteen million people. My question is

0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:45.480
<v Speaker 1>how much will this cost? Where will the deportation camps

0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:49.880
<v Speaker 1>be and how will these people be moved? Will it

0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:53.360
<v Speaker 1>be by air, by tractor trailer? Will they be put

0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:56.800
<v Speaker 1>on rail cars? Great rail? And where is it that

0:04:56.880 --> 0:05:01.560
<v Speaker 1>they are going? Clearly, Stephen Miller is the architect of

0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:05.880
<v Speaker 1>this policy. Who will be the men that implemented it?

0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:10.279
<v Speaker 1>Who are the top people that will likely preside over

0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:14.000
<v Speaker 1>one of the greatest human rights abuses in American history?

0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:19.039
<v Speaker 1>Because I'm fifty four years old, actuaryly, at least I

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:22.800
<v Speaker 1>should live long enough to be around for the moment

0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:27.360
<v Speaker 1>of apology when the United States looks back at this

0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:32.479
<v Speaker 1>disgraceful moment, when the abominations have been completed, when we

0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:37.400
<v Speaker 1>realize that this is a different version of the SS

0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Saint Louis. When the American people consider what has been

0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:45.880
<v Speaker 1>done in their name, they will feel shame and deservedly so.

0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:51.240
<v Speaker 1>And what about the punishment and the retribution. X is

0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:56.880
<v Speaker 1>on fire with jubilant extremist young men. Your body, my

0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:00.440
<v Speaker 1>choice is what the Nazi Nick Flintest tweet it out,

0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:06.520
<v Speaker 1>threatening indiscriminate rape. Trump's supporters in this moment, starting with

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:10.919
<v Speaker 1>his son, are unbound and they're coming. The threats are real,

0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:15.400
<v Speaker 1>the retribution they promise is real, and it's going to happen.

0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:19.320
<v Speaker 1>There will be a chilling of free speech. There will

0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:23.239
<v Speaker 1>be a crushing of descent. There will be calls made

0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:27.279
<v Speaker 1>from the White House to pr firms into law firms,

0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:31.520
<v Speaker 1>saying fire that person or lose your contract. There will

0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:35.279
<v Speaker 1>be enemies lists kept in the White House. I'm on one,

0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:37.800
<v Speaker 1>A lot of my friends are on one. But I

0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:43.239
<v Speaker 1>want you to know I will not bow to this man.

0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:49.600
<v Speaker 1>I stand with Adam Kitzinger. I refuse to be afraid. Instead,

0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:55.400
<v Speaker 1>I will dissent. I dissent against the surrender of a

0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:59.440
<v Speaker 1>free people's chance for liberty because they're cut off by

0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:03.240
<v Speaker 1>the United States government in the face of North Korean

0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:09.159
<v Speaker 1>and Russian aggression. I dissent over the political persecution, the

0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:14.880
<v Speaker 1>coming imprisonments, tax audits, and other punishments of Americans who

0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:19.560
<v Speaker 1>have constitutional rights to speak out, to speak up, and

0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:24.560
<v Speaker 1>to condemn what Donald Trump is doing in their name.

0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:28.960
<v Speaker 1>And I will dissent from what will be the largest

0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:33.960
<v Speaker 1>and most significant abuse of human rights by the United

0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:39.000
<v Speaker 1>States government, perhaps in its history, or at least since

0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:44.480
<v Speaker 1>the Civil War. Fifteen million people part to be captured

0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:49.680
<v Speaker 1>zip Tide, put in perhaps and sent where. Who knows

0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:55.440
<v Speaker 1>illegal immigration is a legitimate issue, and the border became chaotic,

0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:59.760
<v Speaker 1>and then the Biden administration lied about it, along with

0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:03.640
<v Speaker 1>the president's fitness, and the high price for that is

0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:07.320
<v Speaker 1>what's about to happen. I've said many times on television

0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.960
<v Speaker 1>and other places, there's no flower in all the world

0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:15.080
<v Speaker 1>more delicate than the male ego. It's very true, and

0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:20.080
<v Speaker 1>it's done tremendous damage to our country, and the damage

0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:24.880
<v Speaker 1>is just getting started. There is no way in Washington

0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:29.320
<v Speaker 1>to stop Donald Trump with congressional votes. He can be

0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:33.120
<v Speaker 1>slowed down, he can be delayed. But the simple truth

0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:37.840
<v Speaker 1>is men like Chuck Schumer don't care about you or

0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:42.360
<v Speaker 1>your family. What they care about is their grip on power,

0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:45.960
<v Speaker 1>and because they have a grip on power, it means

0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:50.840
<v Speaker 1>some of the most incompetent communicators, some of the most

0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:57.160
<v Speaker 1>incompetent political leaders, some of the most incompetent people are

0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:01.120
<v Speaker 1>the people whose job it is to post Donald Trump,

0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:03.840
<v Speaker 1>and they won't be able to do it because they're

0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:07.360
<v Speaker 1>not up to the task and their foolishness ten years

0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:11.440
<v Speaker 1>of it has led us to this disastrous moment. This

0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:15.600
<v Speaker 1>era will pass, but it will not pass without damage.

0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:20.200
<v Speaker 1>The intrusions on our liberties and our rights, coarsening of

0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:26.600
<v Speaker 1>our society, the institutionalization of cruelty, how commonplace it will be.

0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:31.040
<v Speaker 1>All of it driven by the disordered man, the world

0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:35.480
<v Speaker 1>class demagogue that a clear majority of the American people

0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:40.079
<v Speaker 1>gave power to. They say, in a democracy, the voters

0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:43.200
<v Speaker 1>are never wrong, but the people who say that are

0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.760
<v Speaker 1>in fact the ones who are wrong. When the Iraq

0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:49.160
<v Speaker 1>War began, more than seventy five percent of the American

0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:53.239
<v Speaker 1>people were all behind it. It didn't last long. Elections

0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:56.120
<v Speaker 1>are a choice, and a lot of Americans didn't like

0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:59.559
<v Speaker 1>what they saw from the Democratic Party, which has two

0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:02.480
<v Speaker 1>years to get it shipped together and be in a

0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:07.000
<v Speaker 1>position to take advantage of the first midterm election of

0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:12.640
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump's incumbency, which historically should be a disaster for him.

0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:17.240
<v Speaker 1>Two years from now, Democrats must have a check on

0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:20.880
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump, and the only way they'll have one is

0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:25.560
<v Speaker 1>by taking back the House of Representatives. It means the

0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:31.320
<v Speaker 1>abandonment of this woke insanity. It means the abandonment of

0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:35.600
<v Speaker 1>the lecturing and the hectoring and the demands to say

0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:40.000
<v Speaker 1>you are pronouns or else, because the American people have

0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:44.520
<v Speaker 1>rejected it. And what's coming next is a tsunami of

0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:49.160
<v Speaker 1>malice and idiocy, and it's going to land because the

0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:52.520
<v Speaker 1>chance to stop it was at the election, and that

0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:56.360
<v Speaker 1>failure is one of the most significant in American history

0:10:56.760 --> 0:11:01.400
<v Speaker 1>and it will affect the destinies of free people all

0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:06.160
<v Speaker 1>around the earth. Donald Trump Junior is a soft handed,

0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:11.360
<v Speaker 1>imbecile who has never worked an hour in his life.

0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:17.319
<v Speaker 1>The spoiled and unaccomplished son of a bully is feeling

0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:21.880
<v Speaker 1>his oats. The bully is quite clear he's coming for

0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:26.480
<v Speaker 1>me and for everybody who dared to speak out and

0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.920
<v Speaker 1>is extremism will kill a great many people who don't

0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:33.280
<v Speaker 1>deserve to die. Like in Ukraine, this is a country

0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:36.240
<v Speaker 1>in Europe, to modern country, and it was crushed by

0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:40.400
<v Speaker 1>the jackboot of a fascist invader. And Donald Trump looks

0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:43.000
<v Speaker 1>at that, and he put America on the side of

0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:47.839
<v Speaker 1>Russia and North Korea. The Democratic Party lacked the capacity

0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:51.720
<v Speaker 1>to make an oppositional argument about him and against him.

0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:55.200
<v Speaker 1>And now the bill is due, and it will be terrible.

0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:59.319
<v Speaker 1>Face it, reckon with it, Appreciate it so that two

0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:01.800
<v Speaker 1>years from now now we can stop some of it,

0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:07.120
<v Speaker 1>We can deny advance an opportunity to approach the issues

0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:10.640
<v Speaker 1>that Donald Trump has not completed. With the discipline in

0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:14.880
<v Speaker 1>the focus that Donald Trump lacks because of his mental illnesses.

0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:18.560
<v Speaker 1>We have crossed the line now into a most dangerous era.

0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:22.480
<v Speaker 1>It does not mean because an election has been lost

0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:25.760
<v Speaker 1>that America has been lost, nor does it mean that

0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:30.440
<v Speaker 1>those who rightly opposed this menace and this malice have

0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:34.679
<v Speaker 1>lost their right to speak out, to speak up and

0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:39.440
<v Speaker 1>to dissent. What Donald Trump is is a singular threat

0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:44.160
<v Speaker 1>and an existential threat. And now after this election, it's

0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:47.600
<v Speaker 1>no longer theory. It will be lived experience, and it

0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:51.120
<v Speaker 1>will be hard. It was unnecessary, but now it is here.

0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Elections have consequences, and this one will have many more

0:12:55.920 --> 0:13:01.240
<v Speaker 1>than most. This is the warning. Steve Schmidt, this is
