1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:01,760 Speaker 1: This is the morning. 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 2: It is the thirty first of July, and Donald Trump 3 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:11,639 Speaker 2: is sinking. All of the polling demonstrates that Trump and 4 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 2: MAGA are unpopular with the American people. 5 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: Look at these numbers. 6 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 2: He is collapsing with independent voters in poll after poll 7 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 2: after poll. Now, two things that can be true at 8 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,919 Speaker 2: once but are reported as mysteries of life by the 9 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 2: adult and cloistered Washington d C. 10 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:37,279 Speaker 1: Press corps are this. 11 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 2: Both the National Schumercratic Party and MAGA can both be 12 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 2: epically unpopular at the same time. The Democratic Party is 13 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 2: the oldest in the world. The Republican Party is the 14 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 2: third oldest. Today Americans look at that Democratic Party, the 15 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 2: part of Jim Cleiburne and Chuck Schumer. 16 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: And they are aghast. 17 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 2: They see the appeasement, they see the weakness, and they 18 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,680 Speaker 2: come to the same conclusion that Senator Corey Booker reached. 19 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 2: What they want to see is an opposition to the 20 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 2: things that as Americans we have been taught and told 21 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 2: by presidents of both parties all of our lives were. 22 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,119 Speaker 1: Right and wrong. 23 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 2: Here is President Reagan in his farewell addressed, talking about 24 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 2: immigrants in American society. 25 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 3: You can go to live in France, but you cannot 26 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 3: become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany, 27 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 3: or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German, 28 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 3: a Turk or Japanese. But anyone from any corner of 29 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 3: the earth can come to live in America and become 30 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 3: an American. 31 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 2: Today we live in a country of masked secret police, 32 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 2: and some of the leading journalistic names and brands assess 33 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 2: all of this and say, we, from a position of neutrality, 34 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 2: declare Trump is a genius and Trump is winning. Look 35 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 2: at all the power he has accrued. Never mind the 36 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 2: accrual of that power has come at the cost of demolition, 37 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 2: demolitions of some of the cornerstones of our society. The 38 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 2: Bill of Rights, the Fourth Amendment, the Fourteenth Amendment, the 39 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 2: idea of judicial supremacy, the idea that the President of 40 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 2: the United States is restrained, the concept of the checks 41 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 2: and balances. In six months time, what Donald Trump has 42 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 2: done is cut through Congress like a hot knife through 43 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 2: butter when it comes to asserting the powers that he 44 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 2: doesn't actually possess. And mark my words, it has been 45 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 2: a disaster for the country. Trillions of dollars of debt, 46 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 2: a third tier three level federal law enforcement agency ICE 47 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 2: transformed into Trump's army of thubs. All of this has 48 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 2: happened with anemic responses from leaders not of the Democratic Party, 49 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 2: but of the Schumercratic leadership. 50 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: The go along, get along. 51 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 2: Democrats of Trump's Washington, the senators that voted for Christy 52 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 2: nom the people that helped Trump assemble his cabinet. And 53 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 2: where did the appeasement and delusion lead. Well, it led 54 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 2: to appelan court judge Emil Beauvet And worse is coming 55 00:03:53,800 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 2: because appeasement brings nothing but more aggression. Donald Trump stepped 56 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 2: in front of the nation a January twenty six months ago, 57 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 2: and what he did was repudiate the Atlantic Charter, the 58 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 2: vision for how the free world was to function, how 59 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 2: it was to exist, how harmony was to be achieved. 60 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 2: After humanity's deadliest event was resolved, after the Second World 61 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 2: War was won, yet for no good reason other than 62 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 2: the expiry of time and memory and a loss of 63 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 2: connection to sacrifice, it came to be that Donald Trump 64 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 2: threw it all into the trash heap and said, in 65 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 2: order for America to be great again, two things have 66 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 2: to happen one. Everything that happened before must be declared 67 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 2: as loss, must be held out as decay and rejected 68 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 2: in favor of the accrual of my power in my name, 69 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 2: and so I can exercise my judgments about how to 70 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 2: make the country great. 71 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 1: Whatever that is. And there is a word for it. 72 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 2: That word is Tyranny should never be confused with democracy. 73 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 2: Forty nine and a half percent of the American people 74 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 2: elected Donald Trump, but they did not elect him to 75 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 2: obliterate what cannot be obliterated by an election. What is 76 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 2: etched into granite for all time, and that is the 77 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 2: inalienable rights of the American people. They don't exist at 78 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 2: Donald Trump's whim. And that's why we can't tolerate a 79 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 2: secret police force and a militarized federal army that prays 80 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 2: on the American people, that can make a judgment that 81 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 2: says some Americans are less than others, and Americans with 82 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 2: brown eyes or brown skin are suspect Americans. No, it 83 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 2: is anathetical to every value that we hold. Dear dearness 84 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 2: is a word that Thomas Paine used to describe how 85 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 2: we should hold freedom, and he talked about the value 86 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 2: of freedom talked about the price of liberty. And when 87 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 2: you see in this moment a crashing president and a 88 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 2: political party that is unable to walk away from the crash, 89 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 2: and another political party that is unable to take advantage 90 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 2: of the crash, it makes you wonder if the thousand 91 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 2: people or so that we're talking about, the leaders, the 92 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 2: people who have been elected, who control the parties that 93 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:40,359 Speaker 2: stifle their best young elected members underneath their jack boot, 94 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 2: maybe just maybe. 95 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: They're not on our side at all. 96 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 2: While we share a discuss with MAGA, what most discussed 97 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 2: them is MAGA beat them, And what should most discussed 98 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 2: all of us about them is the fact that MAGA 99 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 2: beat them and they won't walk away because until and 100 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 2: unless they do, we can't get to better. And better 101 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 2: is how MAGA and Trump are defeated because what they 102 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 2: stand for and the power they've amassed is Unamerican. 103 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: It's not winning. 104 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 2: Anybody who tells you it is is lying to you. 105 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 2: We live in dangerous days with the grave threat bearing down, 106 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 2: and the opposition party doesn't function as one because it's 107 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 2: led by appeasers who lack good judgment and common sense. 108 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 2: We can change that, and we must because in America. 109 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 2: If there are no political parties that can fiercely advocate 110 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 2: for liberty, then liberty is gone. And that as has 111 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 2: always been understood with mark as one of the great 112 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 2: tragedies in the history of the world. 113 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: I'm Steve Schmidt.
