1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: It is Thursday, November to twenty seventh Thanksgiving.

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 2: This is the warning.

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 1: And since sixty percent of Americans say that they have

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: family estrangements because of MAGA, because of the red hats,

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: because of the extremism, the insanity, the divisions, the violence,

6
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: the mayhem, the propaganda of Donald Trump and all of

7
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 1: his compatriots, It's going to be a tough day for

8
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: a lot of people. Some arguments are going to break out,

9
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: and that's okay. What I want to say to every

10
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 1: person who opposes MAGA is that you stand in the right,

11
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: and you stand on the American side of a debate.

12
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: What's happening in the country has nothing to do with

13
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: labels or letters next to a name are Indeed, there

14
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: is no magic letter that cloaks right from wrong.

15
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 2: In the last year since family.

16
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: Sat down at their last Thanksgiving, food prices have exploded,

17
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: and so has the lying about those prices. Let's watch

18
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: Howard Lutnick.

19
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 3: Look, the tariffs are an American policy. The President wants

20
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,479
Speaker 3: the American people to understand how great tariffs are for them,

21
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 3: and so one of the ways to prove to the

22
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 3: American people how great tariffs are is to have them

23
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 3: share in a part of one year's income from these tariffs,

24
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 3: and that's two thousand dollars ahead, as he said, for

25
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 3: people who need the money. You know where he's going

26
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 3: to constrain it to people who need the money. And

27
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 3: that's exciting. So the President's got that on his desk.

28
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 3: I know that's something he wants to achieve, and his

29
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 3: legislative team will figure out the best way to do it.

30
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 3: But what he's trying to do is make sure people

31
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 3: in America understand that tariffs are their policy. It's to

32
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 3: make America stronger, and they can also benefit their pocketbook,

33
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 3: and that is coming next year from the President.

34
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: Cruelty has exploded here or masked federal thugs coining a

35
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: weapon and firing it at a priest. Here, they are

36
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: beating people, assaulting people. These are Steve Miller's men. These

37
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: are Tom Homan's men. These are Greg Bovino's men. These

38
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: are Corey Lewandowski's men. These are Christi Nomes men. These

39
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: are Pambondi's men. In the last year, we've seen a

40
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: collapse of the law, a descent into lawlessness. Donald Trump

41
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 1: has decreed being against Donald Trump is a crime. Opposing

42
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: him makes you a criminal. And so the era of

43
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:45,119
Speaker 1: malicious and arbitrary prosecutions have begun. And Trump found out

44
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: of Central casting a perfect as if she was manufactured

45
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: in a Chinese sex doll plant, airheaded bimbo with no qualifications.

46
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: Whatsoever to do is bidding and she was just laughed

47
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: out of court. Her name is Lindsay Halligan, and she

48
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: should be disbarred, and every lawyer in America should be

49
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: outraged by her, and by Pam Bondi.

50
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: You should also be disparred.

51
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: Donald Trump promised peace, but here on this Thanksgiving you

52
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: can hear if you listen the drumming, the war drums

53
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: beating with Champagne Pete salivating to be the Secretary of

54
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: War America first right, how much was the Argentinian bailout?

55
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: A year ago? America's farmers were not number one on

56
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: the suicide demographic list, but they are today thanks to Trump,

57
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: thanks to his tariffs. Prices are up, liberty is under attack,

58
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: liars are up, truth.

59
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 2: Tellers are under siege. Trump's America.

60
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: Big cooin deals for the politicians, paper straws for everyone else.

61
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 2: The richest people in the world.

62
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: Are parting at estates, selling for three hundred million dollars.

63
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: Forty percent of the country doesn't have four hundred dollars available.

64
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: We spent months listening to Donald Trump talk about Doze,

65
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: and a.

66
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: Year later it's gone. It doesn't exist.

67
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: It did nothing except do what some of us called

68
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: out from the first moments, which was to light fires.

69
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: And we saw a fascist with the chainsaw run loose

70
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: indiscriminately before being awarded a one trillion.

71
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 2: Dollar pay package.

72
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: For those of you who don't know what a trillion is,

73
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: a million seconds is twelve days, a billion is thirty

74
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: two years, and a trillion is thirty two thousand years.

75
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: We've seen over the last year the collapse of ethics

76
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: in the newsroom, the assertion of cowardice everywhere by the

77
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: big law firms, by the big media companies, by the billionaire,

78
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: by the news anchors. Everybody with something to lose was

79
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: the first to get on their knees. People who will

80
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: not stand for anything because they're afraid of losing something

81
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: stand to lose everything.

82
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 2: That's a lesson of history. But as you sit at.

83
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving this year, one year from now, there will be

84
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: a democratic majority a month out from taking power, and

85
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: that cannot be an empty victory. It must be a

86
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: victory with purpose, and the first purpose of that victory

87
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: must be to investigate and hold accountable as the preface

88
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: to reform and reconstruction of the Republic, all those who

89
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: have desecrated it, all those who have broken the law,

90
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: all those who have run wild with their corruption, all

91
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: those who have practiced cruelty, believing they're immune because Trump

92
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: told them so. Top two Bottom oversight of rfk's insanity,

93
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: Christy Noman, Corey Lewandowski's insanity, their recklessness, and a complete

94
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: understanding of Corey Lewandowski's role in the government is relationship

95
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: with the secretary. Significant oversight of Homan and Bovino, including

96
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: Holman's corruption the fifty.

97
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: Thousand dollars of cash.

98
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: This is a man engaged in the flesh trade, the

99
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: selling of human beings caught in a government net to

100
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: private prison contractors. Full investigations of the barbarism of the

101
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: American government's involvement sending human beings to El Salvadoran concentration camps,

102
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: every detail of every aspect from January twenty of twenty

103
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: twenty five through so that present moment, when democrats come

104
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: to power, must be investigated, accountability, reform, renewal, MAGA is collapsing,

105
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: But all fascists become more dangerous, like cornered animals as

106
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,239
Speaker 1: they face collapse, because it's do or die, and these

107
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: people are all in fully committed. They went for it,

108
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: were foolish enough to think they were gonna make it,

109
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: but they didn't.

110
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 2: That much is clear.

111
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: And now in the next couple of months they're going

112
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: to start ass covering and scrambling in a way that's

113
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: hard to believe it started already. Trump is well past

114
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: his apigy. Do not mistake his collapsing approval and popularity

115
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: with diminishing danger. The danger of the moment is increasing,

116
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: his popularity is falling. The collapse of his mandate, of

117
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: his approval means there is a opportunity for an opposition

118
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: to begin to stand for something that can unite and

119
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: bring together people. And the number one thing that all

120
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: of us should be able to agree on is that

121
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: there is too much power in too few hands, across

122
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: our media, across these tech companies, across the government, and

123
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: it's hurting all of us. Politics is a type of science,

124
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: and in America, the science is the pursuit of happiness.

125
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: Our politics has become a nuclear reactor of misery, and

126
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,359
Speaker 1: it must become again an engine of happiness.

127
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 2: For a free people who live in liberty, who do.

128
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: Not have thrust in their phase twenty four to seven.

129
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: The whims of arrogant government officials who believe they are

130
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: above the law. The people are their serfs, and around

131
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: them are all their dukes and lords and kings and

132
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: elite who make decisions and take what they want and

133
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: feed us a scrap or two and call it making

134
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: America great again. No, be grateful that our side will

135
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: win the fight, and a year from now Democratic majority

136
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: will be coming to town and it won't be led

137
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: by Chuck Schumer or the Schumercrats. It'll be led by

138
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: the fight Club Democrats. Happy Thanksgiving. I'm Steve Schmidt. This

139
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,880
