Speaker 1: This is the warning, and my warnings failed. Two years
Speaker 1: from now, the American people will get a chance to
Speaker 1: put a check on Donald Trump. But until then there
Speaker 1: are no checks, at least not in Washington, DC. Yesterday,
Speaker 1: while North Korean and Russian troops massed for their largest
Speaker 1: assault on Ukraine, a European country, Donald Trump Junior U
Speaker 1: Day for the next four years, taunted the Ukrainian head
Speaker 1: of state, the spoiled, rotten child of the president elect
Speaker 1: of the United States, said We're going to cut off
Speaker 1: your allowance. There are hundreds of thousands of people dead,
Speaker 1: and the Russians have made clear they're not going to
Speaker 1: stop in Ukraine. One of the consequences of the American
Speaker 1: people's decision will be war. Now. The American people were
Speaker 1: hustled by a con man, and by a significant majority,
Speaker 1: they bought in. They bought into the lives of a
Speaker 1: man who said he was a man of peace and
Speaker 1: that peace comes through strength. He was right about that,
Speaker 1: peace does come through strength. But Trump is a fool,
Speaker 1: and he's weak. And the world's dictators, whom he fetishizes
Speaker 1: and loves and praises, they laugh at him. They think
Speaker 1: of him as a fool. The most easily manipulatable American
Speaker 1: president in American history. Our adversaries cannot compete with us economically,
Speaker 1: cannot compete with us technologically, cannot compete with us militarily.
Speaker 1: What they have relied on is our idiotized culture. What
Speaker 1: they have placed all of their bets on is the
Speaker 1: ransidity of the man the American people have made commander
Speaker 1: in chief. And the price will be very, very heavy.
Speaker 1: The Democrats have no power in Washington, DC. They can
Speaker 1: stop nothing. They lost power because of cynicism, because they
Speaker 1: embraced a man who was unfit to run, whose ego
Speaker 1: was too big to turn away from power. And now
Speaker 1: we have Trump. Let's talk about the three issues. The
Speaker 1: first is world peace, and Donald Trump, a week in
Speaker 1: to being president elect, has set the path of the
Speaker 1: world inexorably towards war. Cutting off Ukraine will spread aggression
Speaker 1: in Europe. There's really not a lot of point in
Speaker 1: arguing about it. It will just happen. This will be
Speaker 1: a brutal spring. We will forsake free people in Europe
Speaker 1: and they will suffer. What a moment of national shame
Speaker 1: for the United States. And the Chinese will be watching
Speaker 1: and soon when their invasion fleet is ready. Before the
Speaker 1: end of Trump's term, They'll move on Taiwan. The world
Speaker 1: will be read, the world will be remade. A new
Speaker 1: era has begun. Dana Bash had a question for the
Speaker 1: ludicrously dishon as political extreme as Jim Jordan. All she
Speaker 1: wanted to know was, how are you going to deport
Speaker 1: fifteen million people from the continental borders of the United
Speaker 1: States of America. It's a fair.
Speaker 2: Question, I want to understand. So people say, like, let's
Speaker 2: say one of these people is living in their apartment complex.
Speaker 2: Is the military going to come in, is it the
Speaker 2: local law enforcement? How is it actually physically going to work?
Speaker 3: The Trump administration, the Department of Homeland Security will work
Speaker 3: with local law enforcement, and we'll focus on the people
Speaker 3: who one point three million have already been in front
Speaker 3: of a judge and said, no, you're not entitled to
Speaker 3: stay here, you have to be removed. There's an order
Speaker 3: there court of Wall. They've had their due process, they've
Speaker 3: had the whole process place.
Speaker 2: So let's move on beyond that population non criminals, people
Speaker 2: who are in the country who are not legal citizens,
Speaker 2: those who have not committed crimes.
Speaker 3: We're starting with the criminal but after that three, well,
Speaker 3: we'll start there and then go from that point.
Speaker 1: This is what the American people voted for, and there
Speaker 1: is going to be a mass deportation. Trump promised. One
Speaker 1: fifteen million appears to be the number. This will be
Speaker 1: the most expensive logistical operation in American history. To put
Speaker 1: it into perspective, during World War Two, the army of
Speaker 1: the United States was sixteen million people. My question is
Speaker 1: how much will this cost? Where will the deportation camps
Speaker 1: be and how will these people be moved? Will it
Speaker 1: be by air, by tractor trailer? Will they be put
Speaker 1: on rail cars? Great rail? And where is it that
Speaker 1: they are going? Clearly, Stephen Miller is the architect of
Speaker 1: this policy. Who will be the men that implemented it?
Speaker 1: Who are the top people that will likely preside over
Speaker 1: one of the greatest human rights abuses in American history?
Speaker 1: Because I'm fifty four years old, actuaryly, at least I
Speaker 1: should live long enough to be around for the moment
Speaker 1: of apology when the United States looks back at this
Speaker 1: disgraceful moment, when the abominations have been completed, when we
Speaker 1: realize that this is a different version of the SS
Speaker 1: Saint Louis. When the American people consider what has been
Speaker 1: done in their name, they will feel shame and deservedly so.
Speaker 1: And what about the punishment and the retribution. X is
Speaker 1: on fire with jubilant extremist young men. Your body, my
Speaker 1: choice is what the Nazi Nick Flintest tweet it out,
Speaker 1: threatening indiscriminate rape. Trump's supporters in this moment, starting with
Speaker 1: his son, are unbound and they're coming. The threats are real,
Speaker 1: the retribution they promise is real, and it's going to happen.
Speaker 1: There will be a chilling of free speech. There will
Speaker 1: be a crushing of descent. There will be calls made
Speaker 1: from the White House to pr firms into law firms,
Speaker 1: saying fire that person or lose your contract. There will
Speaker 1: be enemies lists kept in the White House. I'm on one,
Speaker 1: A lot of my friends are on one. But I
Speaker 1: want you to know I will not bow to this man.
Speaker 1: I stand with Adam Kitzinger. I refuse to be afraid. Instead,
Speaker 1: I will dissent. I dissent against the surrender of a
Speaker 1: free people's chance for liberty because they're cut off by
Speaker 1: the United States government in the face of North Korean
Speaker 1: and Russian aggression. I dissent over the political persecution, the
Speaker 1: coming imprisonments, tax audits, and other punishments of Americans who
Speaker 1: have constitutional rights to speak out, to speak up, and
Speaker 1: to condemn what Donald Trump is doing in their name.
Speaker 1: And I will dissent from what will be the largest
Speaker 1: and most significant abuse of human rights by the United
Speaker 1: States government, perhaps in its history, or at least since
Speaker 1: the Civil War. Fifteen million people part to be captured
Speaker 1: zip Tide, put in perhaps and sent where. Who knows
Speaker 1: illegal immigration is a legitimate issue, and the border became chaotic,
Speaker 1: and then the Biden administration lied about it, along with
Speaker 1: the president's fitness, and the high price for that is
Speaker 1: what's about to happen. I've said many times on television
Speaker 1: and other places, there's no flower in all the world
Speaker 1: more delicate than the male ego. It's very true, and
Speaker 1: it's done tremendous damage to our country, and the damage
Speaker 1: is just getting started. There is no way in Washington
Speaker 1: to stop Donald Trump with congressional votes. He can be
Speaker 1: slowed down, he can be delayed. But the simple truth
Speaker 1: is men like Chuck Schumer don't care about you or
Speaker 1: your family. What they care about is their grip on power,
Speaker 1: and because they have a grip on power, it means
Speaker 1: some of the most incompetent communicators, some of the most
Speaker 1: incompetent political leaders, some of the most incompetent people are
Speaker 1: the people whose job it is to post Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: and they won't be able to do it because they're
Speaker 1: not up to the task and their foolishness ten years
Speaker 1: of it has led us to this disastrous moment. This
Speaker 1: era will pass, but it will not pass without damage.
Speaker 1: The intrusions on our liberties and our rights, coarsening of
Speaker 1: our society, the institutionalization of cruelty, how commonplace it will be.
Speaker 1: All of it driven by the disordered man, the world
Speaker 1: class demagogue that a clear majority of the American people
Speaker 1: gave power to. They say, in a democracy, the voters
Speaker 1: are never wrong, but the people who say that are
Speaker 1: in fact the ones who are wrong. When the Iraq
Speaker 1: War began, more than seventy five percent of the American
Speaker 1: people were all behind it. It didn't last long. Elections
Speaker 1: are a choice, and a lot of Americans didn't like
Speaker 1: what they saw from the Democratic Party, which has two
Speaker 1: years to get it shipped together and be in a
Speaker 1: position to take advantage of the first midterm election of
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's incumbency, which historically should be a disaster for him.
Speaker 1: Two years from now, Democrats must have a check on
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, and the only way they'll have one is
Speaker 1: by taking back the House of Representatives. It means the
Speaker 1: abandonment of this woke insanity. It means the abandonment of
Speaker 1: the lecturing and the hectoring and the demands to say
Speaker 1: you are pronouns or else, because the American people have
Speaker 1: rejected it. And what's coming next is a tsunami of
Speaker 1: malice and idiocy, and it's going to land because the
Speaker 1: chance to stop it was at the election, and that
Speaker 1: failure is one of the most significant in American history
Speaker 1: and it will affect the destinies of free people all
Speaker 1: around the earth. Donald Trump Junior is a soft handed,
Speaker 1: imbecile who has never worked an hour in his life.
Speaker 1: The spoiled and unaccomplished son of a bully is feeling
Speaker 1: his oats. The bully is quite clear he's coming for
Speaker 1: me and for everybody who dared to speak out and
Speaker 1: is extremism will kill a great many people who don't
Speaker 1: deserve to die. Like in Ukraine, this is a country
Speaker 1: in Europe, to modern country, and it was crushed by
Speaker 1: the jackboot of a fascist invader. And Donald Trump looks
Speaker 1: at that, and he put America on the side of
Speaker 1: Russia and North Korea. The Democratic Party lacked the capacity
Speaker 1: to make an oppositional argument about him and against him.
Speaker 1: And now the bill is due, and it will be terrible.
Speaker 1: Face it, reckon with it, Appreciate it so that two
Speaker 1: years from now now we can stop some of it,
Speaker 1: We can deny advance an opportunity to approach the issues
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump has not completed. With the discipline in
Speaker 1: the focus that Donald Trump lacks because of his mental illnesses.
Speaker 1: We have crossed the line now into a most dangerous era.
Speaker 1: It does not mean because an election has been lost
Speaker 1: that America has been lost, nor does it mean that
Speaker 1: those who rightly opposed this menace and this malice have
Speaker 1: lost their right to speak out, to speak up and
Speaker 1: to dissent. What Donald Trump is is a singular threat
Speaker 1: and an existential threat. And now after this election, it's
Speaker 1: no longer theory. It will be lived experience, and it
Speaker 1: will be hard. It was unnecessary, but now it is here.
Speaker 1: Elections have consequences, and this one will have many more
Speaker 1: than most. This is the warning. Steve Schmidt, this is
