WEBVTT - Trump is Ruining America on Thanksgiving

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:03.960
<v Speaker 1>It is Thursday, November to twenty seventh Thanksgiving.

0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:05.920
<v Speaker 2>This is the warning.

0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:10.120
<v Speaker 1>And since sixty percent of Americans say that they have

0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:14.360
<v Speaker 1>family estrangements because of MAGA, because of the red hats,

0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:18.640
<v Speaker 1>because of the extremism, the insanity, the divisions, the violence,

0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:22.200
<v Speaker 1>the mayhem, the propaganda of Donald Trump and all of

0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:25.479
<v Speaker 1>his compatriots, It's going to be a tough day for

0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:29.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people. Some arguments are going to break out,

0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:32.720
<v Speaker 1>and that's okay. What I want to say to every

0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:36.560
<v Speaker 1>person who opposes MAGA is that you stand in the right,

0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:39.839
<v Speaker 1>and you stand on the American side of a debate.

0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:43.680
<v Speaker 1>What's happening in the country has nothing to do with

0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:48.879
<v Speaker 1>labels or letters next to a name are Indeed, there

0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:52.760
<v Speaker 1>is no magic letter that cloaks right from wrong.

0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:56.640
<v Speaker 2>In the last year since family.

0:00:56.360 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Sat down at their last Thanksgiving, food prices have exploded,

0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:07.360
<v Speaker 1>and so has the lying about those prices. Let's watch

0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:08.920
<v Speaker 1>Howard Lutnick.

0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 3>Look, the tariffs are an American policy. The President wants

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:18.479
<v Speaker 3>the American people to understand how great tariffs are for them,

0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:20.679
<v Speaker 3>and so one of the ways to prove to the

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:23.600
<v Speaker 3>American people how great tariffs are is to have them

0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:28.440
<v Speaker 3>share in a part of one year's income from these tariffs,

0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:31.000
<v Speaker 3>and that's two thousand dollars ahead, as he said, for

0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:33.160
<v Speaker 3>people who need the money. You know where he's going

0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:35.360
<v Speaker 3>to constrain it to people who need the money. And

0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:38.160
<v Speaker 3>that's exciting. So the President's got that on his desk.

0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:40.840
<v Speaker 3>I know that's something he wants to achieve, and his

0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:43.840
<v Speaker 3>legislative team will figure out the best way to do it.

0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:46.280
<v Speaker 3>But what he's trying to do is make sure people

0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:50.040
<v Speaker 3>in America understand that tariffs are their policy. It's to

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:53.960
<v Speaker 3>make America stronger, and they can also benefit their pocketbook,

0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:56.480
<v Speaker 3>and that is coming next year from the President.

0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Cruelty has exploded here or masked federal thugs coining a

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:06.360
<v Speaker 1>weapon and firing it at a priest. Here, they are

0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:12.080
<v Speaker 1>beating people, assaulting people. These are Steve Miller's men. These

0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:15.600
<v Speaker 1>are Tom Homan's men. These are Greg Bovino's men. These

0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:19.960
<v Speaker 1>are Corey Lewandowski's men. These are Christi Nomes men. These

0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:23.720
<v Speaker 1>are Pambondi's men. In the last year, we've seen a

0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:29.240
<v Speaker 1>collapse of the law, a descent into lawlessness. Donald Trump

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:34.359
<v Speaker 1>has decreed being against Donald Trump is a crime. Opposing

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:37.640
<v Speaker 1>him makes you a criminal. And so the era of

0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:45.119
<v Speaker 1>malicious and arbitrary prosecutions have begun. And Trump found out

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:50.160
<v Speaker 1>of Central casting a perfect as if she was manufactured

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:56.640
<v Speaker 1>in a Chinese sex doll plant, airheaded bimbo with no qualifications.

0:02:56.680 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 1>Whatsoever to do is bidding and she was just laughed

0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:03.400
<v Speaker 1>out of court. Her name is Lindsay Halligan, and she

0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 1>should be disbarred, and every lawyer in America should be

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 1>outraged by her, and by Pam Bondi.

0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:11.840
<v Speaker 2>You should also be disparred.

0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump promised peace, but here on this Thanksgiving you

0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:21.000
<v Speaker 1>can hear if you listen the drumming, the war drums

0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:26.680
<v Speaker 1>beating with Champagne Pete salivating to be the Secretary of

0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:32.280
<v Speaker 1>War America first right, how much was the Argentinian bailout?

0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:37.080
<v Speaker 1>A year ago? America's farmers were not number one on

0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:41.840
<v Speaker 1>the suicide demographic list, but they are today thanks to Trump,

0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:46.720
<v Speaker 1>thanks to his tariffs. Prices are up, liberty is under attack,

0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:48.560
<v Speaker 1>liars are up, truth.

0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:51.320
<v Speaker 2>Tellers are under siege. Trump's America.

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Big cooin deals for the politicians, paper straws for everyone else.

0:03:57.720 --> 0:03:59.800
<v Speaker 2>The richest people in the world.

0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Are parting at estates, selling for three hundred million dollars.

0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Forty percent of the country doesn't have four hundred dollars available.

0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:14.800
<v Speaker 1>We spent months listening to Donald Trump talk about Doze,

0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:15.440
<v Speaker 1>and a.

0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:18.320
<v Speaker 2>Year later it's gone. It doesn't exist.

0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:22.159
<v Speaker 1>It did nothing except do what some of us called

0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:25.840
<v Speaker 1>out from the first moments, which was to light fires.

0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:29.960
<v Speaker 1>And we saw a fascist with the chainsaw run loose

0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:34.560
<v Speaker 1>indiscriminately before being awarded a one trillion.

0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:35.640
<v Speaker 2>Dollar pay package.

0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:38.279
<v Speaker 1>For those of you who don't know what a trillion is,

0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:42.159
<v Speaker 1>a million seconds is twelve days, a billion is thirty

0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:45.640
<v Speaker 1>two years, and a trillion is thirty two thousand years.

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:49.800
<v Speaker 1>We've seen over the last year the collapse of ethics

0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:54.760
<v Speaker 1>in the newsroom, the assertion of cowardice everywhere by the

0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 1>big law firms, by the big media companies, by the billionaire,

0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:05.520
<v Speaker 1>by the news anchors. Everybody with something to lose was

0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:09.520
<v Speaker 1>the first to get on their knees. People who will

0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:14.040
<v Speaker 1>not stand for anything because they're afraid of losing something

0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:15.640
<v Speaker 1>stand to lose everything.

0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:19.400
<v Speaker 2>That's a lesson of history. But as you sit at.

0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:23.359
<v Speaker 1>Thanksgiving this year, one year from now, there will be

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:28.200
<v Speaker 1>a democratic majority a month out from taking power, and

0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:33.520
<v Speaker 1>that cannot be an empty victory. It must be a

0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:38.920
<v Speaker 1>victory with purpose, and the first purpose of that victory

0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:44.400
<v Speaker 1>must be to investigate and hold accountable as the preface

0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:50.000
<v Speaker 1>to reform and reconstruction of the Republic, all those who

0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:53.520
<v Speaker 1>have desecrated it, all those who have broken the law,

0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:57.440
<v Speaker 1>all those who have run wild with their corruption, all

0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:02.920
<v Speaker 1>those who have practiced cruelty, believing they're immune because Trump

0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:09.640
<v Speaker 1>told them so. Top two Bottom oversight of rfk's insanity,

0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:16.080
<v Speaker 1>Christy Noman, Corey Lewandowski's insanity, their recklessness, and a complete

0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:21.400
<v Speaker 1>understanding of Corey Lewandowski's role in the government is relationship

0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:26.280
<v Speaker 1>with the secretary. Significant oversight of Homan and Bovino, including

0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Holman's corruption the fifty.

0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Thousand dollars of cash.

0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.160
<v Speaker 1>This is a man engaged in the flesh trade, the

0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:37.200
<v Speaker 1>selling of human beings caught in a government net to

0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:43.560
<v Speaker 1>private prison contractors. Full investigations of the barbarism of the

0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:50.240
<v Speaker 1>American government's involvement sending human beings to El Salvadoran concentration camps,

0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:57.880
<v Speaker 1>every detail of every aspect from January twenty of twenty

0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:03.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty five through so that present moment, when democrats come

0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:10.520
<v Speaker 1>to power, must be investigated, accountability, reform, renewal, MAGA is collapsing,

0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:15.800
<v Speaker 1>But all fascists become more dangerous, like cornered animals as

0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:19.239
<v Speaker 1>they face collapse, because it's do or die, and these

0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:23.280
<v Speaker 1>people are all in fully committed. They went for it,

0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:26.120
<v Speaker 1>were foolish enough to think they were gonna make it,

0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:27.160
<v Speaker 1>but they didn't.

0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:28.560
<v Speaker 2>That much is clear.

0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:32.440
<v Speaker 1>And now in the next couple of months they're going

0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:36.200
<v Speaker 1>to start ass covering and scrambling in a way that's

0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:40.360
<v Speaker 1>hard to believe it started already. Trump is well past

0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:46.840
<v Speaker 1>his apigy. Do not mistake his collapsing approval and popularity

0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:52.280
<v Speaker 1>with diminishing danger. The danger of the moment is increasing,

0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:57.760
<v Speaker 1>his popularity is falling. The collapse of his mandate, of

0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:01.920
<v Speaker 1>his approval means there is a opportunity for an opposition

0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:05.520
<v Speaker 1>to begin to stand for something that can unite and

0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:09.680
<v Speaker 1>bring together people. And the number one thing that all

0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:12.600
<v Speaker 1>of us should be able to agree on is that

0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:16.680
<v Speaker 1>there is too much power in too few hands, across

0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:21.280
<v Speaker 1>our media, across these tech companies, across the government, and

0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:25.400
<v Speaker 1>it's hurting all of us. Politics is a type of science,

0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:29.920
<v Speaker 1>and in America, the science is the pursuit of happiness.

0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Our politics has become a nuclear reactor of misery, and

0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:39.359
<v Speaker 1>it must become again an engine of happiness.

0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.679
<v Speaker 2>For a free people who live in liberty, who do.

0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:45.040
<v Speaker 1>Not have thrust in their phase twenty four to seven.

0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:49.600
<v Speaker 1>The whims of arrogant government officials who believe they are

0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:53.600
<v Speaker 1>above the law. The people are their serfs, and around

0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:57.760
<v Speaker 1>them are all their dukes and lords and kings and

0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:02.560
<v Speaker 1>elite who make decisions and take what they want and

0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:06.240
<v Speaker 1>feed us a scrap or two and call it making

0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:10.679
<v Speaker 1>America great again. No, be grateful that our side will

0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:14.679
<v Speaker 1>win the fight, and a year from now Democratic majority

0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:17.800
<v Speaker 1>will be coming to town and it won't be led

0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:21.600
<v Speaker 1>by Chuck Schumer or the Schumercrats. It'll be led by

0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:26.840
<v Speaker 1>the fight Club Democrats. Happy Thanksgiving. I'm Steve Schmidt. This

0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:29.880
