1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: When the history of this era is written, one of

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: the foremost villains will be this man, Mike Johnson.

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 2: The President says that he wants Republicans to nationalize elections.

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 3: Do you agree with him? And do you have confidence in.

5
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 4: How elections are conducted? Right now? Heading into the midterm.

6
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 5: We have thoughtful debate about our election system every election cycle,

7
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 5: and sometimes in between. We know it's in our system.

8
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 5: The states have been in charge of administering their elections.

9
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 5: What you're hearing from the President is his frustration about

10
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,639
Speaker 5: the lack of some of the blue states, frankly, of

11
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 5: enforcing these things and making sure that they are free

12
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 5: and fair elections. We need constant improvement on that front.

13
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 5: I don't know what the ultimate solution is going to be.

14
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 5: I'm not going to get ahead of the negotiations here,

15
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 5: but I think that is something that's going to be

16
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 5: a continuing theme here. It's something that will continue to

17
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 5: push and we hope the governors will insist upon that

18
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 5: same thing as well. In some of the states, like

19
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 5: in California, for example, I mean, they hold the elections

20
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 5: open for weeks after election day. That's just one thing

21
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 5: that bothers so many people We had three House Republican

22
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 5: candidates who are ahead on election day in the last

23
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 5: election cycle, and every time a new tranche of ballots

24
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 5: came in, they just magically whittled away until their leads

25
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 5: were lost. And no series of ballots that were counted

26
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 5: after election day were are candidates ahead on any of

27
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 5: those counts. It just it looks on its face to

28
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 5: be fraudulent. Can I prove that.

29
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 4: No.

30
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: He knows that when the numbers get counted on election night,

31
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: they come in from different counties at different times. In

32
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: some places, it may be that the rural area reports first,

33
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: but later Democratic districts come in. This is part of

34
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: the normal ebb and flow. And Mike Johnson knows what

35
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: he is saying is a lie, but he doesn't serve

36
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: the American people. He serves one man, Donald Trump, from

37
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: his knees, and on his knees, he has broken his

38
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: constitutional oath and made himself a domestic enemy of it.

39
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: Mike Johnson is attacking the cornerstone of American civilization, our

40
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: way of life. We have clean and fair elections in America,

41
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: and the idea that there was voter fraud or that

42
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was cheated is a Hitler level lie.

43
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 6: It is February fourth. I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning.

44
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 6: Let's watch Carolyn Levitt. To be clear, he does believe

45
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 6: the States should oversee him.

46
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: The President believes in the United States Constitution. However, he

47
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: believes there has obviously been a lot of fraud and

48
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 2: irregularities that have taken place in American elections.

49
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: Donald Trump supports the Constitution. However, Donald Trump does not

50
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 1: support the Constitution of the United States. Donald Trump has

51
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: taken an oath that George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and

52
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: Franklin Roosevelt and John Kennedy took, and he desecrated it.

53
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: Donald Trump lost an election, and because of his mental illness,

54
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: because of his malignant narcissism, because of the cowardice, the fecklessness,

55
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: the weakness of men like Mike John, our republic is crumbling.

56
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: Benjamin Franklin was asked leaving the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia,

57
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: Doctor Franklin, what have you given us a republic? If

58
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: you can keep it? And these people are trying to

59
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,119
Speaker 1: take it. When Donald Trump lost an election, he attacked

60
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: the United States capital. He tried to stage a coup,

61
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: and that coup has upended the American way of life.

62
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: It was one of the most depraved days in all

63
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: of American history. Donald Trump does not believe in the

64
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: separation of powers. Donald Trump does not believe in free speech.

65
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is a gun grabber who does not believe

66
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: in the Second Amendment. He doesn't believe in the Fourth Amendment,

67
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: which keeps you safe from the government kicking down your door.

68
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: He doesn't believe in the Fifth Amendment, where Americans are

69
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: presumed innocent and they should have due process. Donald Trump

70
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: decides who's guilty and the corrupt Department of Injustice prosecutes

71
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: his revenge fantasies. Donald Trump doesn't believe in the power

72
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: of state Tenth Amendment. He doesn't believe in the Fourteenth Amendment.

73
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is the foremost constitutional vandal in American history.

74
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: And why was Tulca Gabbert in Fulton County, Georgia. Carolyn

75
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: Levitt says it's because the Director of National Intelligence has

76
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: been put in charge of ballot Security'slcy.

77
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 6: Gabbert involved in a domestic law enforcement search in Georgia.

78
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 2: Tulsea Gabbert has been tapped by the President of the

79
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 2: United States to oversee the sanctity and the security of

80
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: our American elections. She's working directly alongside the FBI Director

81
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 2: Cash Ptel. This is a coordinated, whole of government effort

82
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 2: to ensure that our elections again are fair and transparent

83
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: moving forward. I don't see anything wrong with the president

84
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 2: taskt and cabinet member to pursue an issue that most

85
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: people want to see solved. Maybe you don't, but I

86
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: know many Americans do want to make sure our elections

87
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 2: are protected, and that's what Tulsea Gabert is focused on doing.

88
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: She has no statutory of already whatsoever, none to operate

89
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: in this space. What Donald Trump is doing is trying

90
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: to undermine faith in a process around who gets to

91
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: decide who has power? Do we the people get a

92
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: vote or is it imposed on us? And Donald Trump

93
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: tried to steal something power that was taken away from

94
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: him and understanding this is a profound importance. Donald Trump

95
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: is talking about nationalizing elections and this is a fantasy.

96
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: The Constitution is perfectly clear the states and minister elections.

97
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: Once again we see the leadership of the Democratic Party

98
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: completely flat footed, unable to respond to this. Here's the response.

99
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: Haakim Jeffrey should walk out, and he should say elections

100
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: are administered by the states. It has been that way

101
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: and it will always be that way. But because Donald

102
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: Trump is mentally ill and suffering from dementia, and because

103
00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: every evening when he starts sundowning, he gets crazier and crazy. Here,

104
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: we'll make a little bit of an offer to help

105
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: our Republican colleagues. As soon as Texas and Louisiana and

106
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: Mississippi and Alabama and Oklahoma turn over their state election

107
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:16,239
Speaker 1: process to the federal government, come talk to us. Until then, off,

108
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: The most important thing to understand is there will be elections.

109
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: Donald Trump can't stop them. He hasn't been able to

110
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: stop the special elections. It's all about fear. It's a

111
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,679
Speaker 1: threat of sorts, but it's not real.

112
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: Well, what exactly did you meet when you said that

113
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 2: you should nationalize elections?

114
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: And which fifteen states are you talking?

115
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 3: When we see elections be honest, and if a state

116
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 3: can't run an election, I think the people behind me

117
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 3: should do something about it, because you know, if you

118
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 3: think about it, a state is an agent for the

119
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 3: federal government and elections.

120
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 4: I don't know why the federal government doesn't do him anyway.

121
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 4: But when you see some of these states about how

122
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 4: horribly they run their elections, what a disgrace it is,

123
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 4: I think the federal government when you see crooked elections,

124
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 4: and we had plenty of them, and by the way,

125
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 4: we had him last time. But go to twenty twenty

126
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 4: and look at the facts that are coming out rigged

127
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 4: crooked elections. If we have areas, take a look at Detroit,

128
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 4: take a look at Pennsylvania, take a.

129
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 3: Look at Philadelphia.

130
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 4: You go take a look at Atlanta, look at some

131
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 4: of the places that horrible corruption on elections, and the

132
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 4: federal government should not allow that.

133
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: Pretending that he has powers that he does not. In

134
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: abdicating by seating the floor from pointing out that he

135
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: doesn't have those powers, it's dangerous for Democrats. His fantasies

136
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: are malignant, but they are fantasies. He is wicked, his

137
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: cause is evil, He is corrupt. He is a fascist,

138
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: But he is a fascist who will be voted out

139
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: of power in November of twenty twenty six and have

140
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: a check imposed on him. When that check is imposed

141
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: on him, the Congress can start coming back to life.

142
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 6: And when it comes back to life.

143
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: We're going to discover in this country that, in fact,

144
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: there are no kings. This is the warning, and I'm

145
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: Steve Schmidt. This is the warning. I invite you to

146
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: join this community where I promise to be honest, blunt

147
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: and direct about what is happening in this country. America

148
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: is in crisis. Follow and subscribe to this channel and
