1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,560 Speaker 1: There are no words to describe Donald Trump and his 2 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 1: den of thieves. Their corruption, with no exaggeration, is utterly 3 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 1: unprecedented in American history. The only comparison that can be 4 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: made to what it is that we're seeing is the 5 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:23,240 Speaker 1: corruption of Vladimir Putin in Russia, who has been estimated 6 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: to be the richest man in the world through his 7 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: theft of what the wealth of the Russian people. What 8 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is stealing does not belong to him. The 9 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: money is taxpayer money. All across the world, strong men, sheikhs, 10 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: sultans are lined up to give the Trump family gold, cash, 11 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: and who knows what else, And in return, Donald Trump 12 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: sells out the future of the American people, our children, 13 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: and our secrets. The ships that have been sold to 14 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 1: the amirodis that will be passed on to the Chinese 15 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: that he got one hundred and seventy eight million dollars 16 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: for selling illegally against the national security interests of the 17 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: United States have every possibility of being used to kill 18 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: America's young men and women, should we ever fight a 19 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: war against the Chinese and the Pacific. It is an 20 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: abomination and there is no comparison that exists across two 21 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty years of history. It is February sixth, 22 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, and I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the 23 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: warning yesterday in front of the United States Senate that 24 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: depravity of the corruption became perfectly clear. Donald Trump's den 25 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: of thieves was hard at work justifying the excesses. Let's 26 00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: look at the smug, smirking Secretary of the Treasury, Scott 27 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: Bess and was Senator or Reuben Gago? 28 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 2: You know, we kind of touched on this earlier. In 29 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 2: addition being Treasury Secretary, you are serving as acting director 30 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,239 Speaker 2: of the IRIS. So following up on Senator Kim's questioning, 31 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 2: so you are fully aware that the president is suing 32 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 2: your agency for ten billion dollars, we would agree. Would 33 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 2: you agree that tim Blad dollars is a good sum 34 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 2: of money? 35 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 3: Yes, sir? 36 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 2: Where would that be cut from? Let's say for some 37 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 2: reason he actually wins that loss. So where would that 38 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 2: ten billion dollars come from? 39 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 4: Again, it would come from. 40 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 2: Process wise, am I asking your opinion whether it's right 41 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 2: or rock. It would come from treasuring. It come for Treasury, 42 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 2: which comes from the General Fund, the Treasury General Account, 43 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 2: So taxpayers, Yes, thank you, part of. 44 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: The four hundred and forty thousand taxpayers whose returns were leaked. 45 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,359 Speaker 2: If the now, if the president, they're not suing, And 46 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 2: let me ask the simple it's a very simple question. 47 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 2: Do you work for the president of United States? I 48 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 2: work for the people. So can the president fire you? 49 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 3: Or he can't? 50 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 2: He can't fire you? Correct, So isn't it a complish 51 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 2: of interests? You're gonna be making these decisions and the 52 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 2: president has full power. I think you're a comput Senator. 53 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 2: I am not part of the decision. Well, you're certainly 54 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 2: a person that sends send on the wire transfer. And 55 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 2: I think that's why there's a lot of people do 56 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 2: not trust, not trusts interests. 57 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: I guess that I made. 58 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 2: Controlling the time. And you're not obeying the law. You're 59 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 2: plundering US taxpayer dollars, undering US taxpayer dollars, a baby blundering. 60 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 2: Cut your dollars boundary. Thank you, go back. 61 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: Let's watch Senator Elizabeth Warren. 62 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 3: You ran the search for Donald Trump's FED chair nominee, 63 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 3: and Trump promised to quote anyone that disagrees with me 64 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 3: will never be FED Chairman. Kevin Walsh got the nod 65 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 3: last Friday, and then over the weekend, Donald Trump joked 66 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 3: that he would sue mister Warsh if he failed to 67 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 3: lower interest rates. At least I think it was a joke, 68 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 3: but just in case, this should be an easy one, 69 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 3: mister secretary, can you commit right here and now that 70 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 3: Trump's FED nominee Kevin Walsh will not be sued, will 71 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 3: not be investigated by the Department of Justice if he 72 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 3: doesn't cut interest rates exactly the way that Donald Trump wants. 73 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 2: I I that that is up to the president. Can 74 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 2: you commit that you will? I'm sorry? Can you commit 75 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 2: that you will not hold that whole up be sued? 76 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 3: Can you justin interest rate? Can you be crisminally investigating 77 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 3: the president? 78 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: Let's see Carolyn Levitt defend the obscenities. 79 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 5: The President said he's now seeking a billion dollars from Harvard, 80 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 5: considerably more than before. 81 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 6: What changed here and her negotiations going. 82 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 5: Through, Well, look, this has been an ongoing negotiation and 83 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 5: frankly a frustrating negotiation for the President and the administration, 84 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 5: because we on a deal, and it's very unfortunate that 85 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 5: Harvard has dragged its feet in understanding they need to 86 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 5: rectify the wrongs and the illegal behavior that took place 87 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 5: on their campus over the course of the past several 88 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 5: years under the previous administration. And so the president wants 89 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 5: a justified deal to correct for that criminal behavior that 90 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 5: took place on their campus. He is now demanding one 91 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 5: billion dollars from Harvard University and Secretary McMahon will be 92 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 5: continuing to lead this negotiation. 93 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: In these talks, they are robbing America blind. They're stealing 94 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: not thousands, not millions, but billions of dollars. Donald Trump's 95 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: net worth in one year of service as president has 96 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: increased by four billion dollars. 97 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 2: He wants people who have. 98 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: Four hundred dollars cash savings, which is forty percent of 99 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: the country, to give him and his disgusting family ten 100 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: billion dollars. 101 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 6: Essentially, the lawsuit's been one. I guess I want a 102 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 6: lot of money. 103 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 2: Scott Beston's the head of the IRS. What I Bondy's 104 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 2: ahead of the Justice Department. They're going to defend the 105 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 2: IRIS against you. 106 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 6: Well, it's never been anything like it, So are you 107 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 6: going to? Don't forget I sued as a private citizen, 108 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 6: because I sued between terms. 109 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 2: I would tell them to pay I won. 110 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 6: Three times, but I didn't assume Unfortunately for this country, 111 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 6: I didn't assume office a second the But here's the sorry. 112 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 6: I sued because they broke into maur Laga. That was 113 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 6: before I became president. Now it goes along, and it 114 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 6: turned out that the suit is a very strong suit. 115 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 2: You're going to tell them to pay you though you're 116 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 2: the boss. 117 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 6: Well, I would what I would do, tell them to 118 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 6: pay me. But I'll give one hundred percent of the 119 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 6: money to charity. I don't want any of them. 120 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 2: I'll take it out of the system. A couple more 121 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 2: questions here, No. 122 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,919 Speaker 6: No, I'm putting it back into the system. If I 123 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 6: give money to American Cancer Society, I will. I will 124 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 6: give one hundred percent of the money away to you. 125 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 2: I don't want any thirty trillion dollars debt. And we're 126 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 2: going to take ten billillion out of the system. Well, 127 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 2: I mean you give it away anyway. 128 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 6: They give away a lot of money. 129 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: We must make this stop, my friends, and we can 130 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: make it stop. Donald Trump is more than corrupt. He's evil, 131 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: and he's a racist. And last night he even further 132 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: desecrated himself by posting this obscenity while stealing and robbing 133 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: the country. 134 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 4: Blind Carson, I want to ask you about a video 135 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 4: that President Trump posted on True Social overnight. He's got 136 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 4: millions of followers there. The video was about voter ID 137 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 4: and election reform. But at the end, and I don't 138 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 4: know if you can see this, it included a brief 139 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 4: image of the Obama's an overtly racist image of the 140 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 4: former first Lady and the president as apes here. Now 141 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 4: it was at the end of the video. I don't 142 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 4: know for sure whether the president saw it, But is 143 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 4: this the type of message of president of the United States, 144 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 4: under any circumstance, should be sending out to millions of people? 145 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 2: Well, I'd not seen that video to you just showed 146 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 2: it to me.

Today's 148 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 2: the number one thing that we need to do is 149 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 2: elevate the conversation. 150 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: We either end this or it ends America. That's the choice, 151 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: America or Trump. This is the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt. 152 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: This is the warning.
