1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: This is the warning. It is April the eighth, twenty

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: twenty five, and we stand on the edge of a

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: momentous American anniversary, as the country stands today, on the

4
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:17,080
Speaker 1: edge of an economic collapse, a looming recession, and war

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: with Iran. One one hundred and sixty five years ago tomorrow,

6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: Robert E. Lee ran out of time, out of luck,

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: and out of chances, was turned by a superior general,

8
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: by a master strategist, one of the greatest men the

9
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 1: United States of America has ever produced, an ordinary man,

10
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: Ulysses Grant. When the war began, Brant was down and out.

11
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 1: He was selling firewood on the streets of his hometown.

12
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: His army career was over. He viewed himself as a failure.

13
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: A few years later he commanded the most powerful army

14
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: that had ever been seen in the history of the world,

15
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: the Union Army. Grant came to take Robert E. Lee's

16
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: surrender at the end of the Civil War at the

17
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: home of a man named Wilbur McLean. McLain's original home

18
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: was in Manassas. The first major battle of the Civil

19
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: War was fought all around it. The elites from Washington

20
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: thought it would be a wonderful spectacle to come out

21
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: and watch the battle in their horse and carriages with

22
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: picnic lunches. They were shocked by the carnage, in the

23
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 1: horror as the wounded and the dead were carried bloody

24
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: back into Washington, d c. Mister mclan saw the horror

25
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: of war, and he moved away from it. He tried

26
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: to evade it. He moved to the south and west

27
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: of Virginia, to a little town called Appomattox. But the

28
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: war found him there. And the war that Trump is

29
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: waging on America, on the economy, on our alliances, on

30
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: our values, on our prosperity, on due process, on liberty,

31
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: on our essential ride, will come for us all. There

32
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: is no escaping it, and there is no evading it.

33
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has decided, absent any evidence that he singularly,

34
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: a man of genius unrivaled in this modern age, can

35
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: singularly see the economy that we will have at the

36
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: expense of the one that we do, the one that

37
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: made the United States the richest nation in the history

38
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: of the world and the pre eminent power in the world.

39
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: Larry Summers, former Secretary of the Treasury, said what Trump

40
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: is doing is to economics what creationism is to biology.

41
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: Perfectly stated, this is fundamentalist economics. This is voodoo economics.

42
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: This is madness. And like always when madness meets power,

43
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: there will be sick of ants around to defend it all.

44
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: No matter what. Let's watch. Let Donald Trump run the

45
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: global economy. He knows what he's doing. He's been talking

46
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: about it for thirty five years. You gotta trust Donald

47
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: Trump in the White House. That's why they put him there.

48
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: Let him fix it. The disaster cannot be evaded. We

49
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: are locked in. We are trapped because Trump cannot back down,

50
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: because Trump cannot be wrong. Should Trump back down and

51
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: do what Elon Musk says, then he will have destroyed

52
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: his presidency less than one hundred days in. He will

53
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: be weakened, defenestrated, made to look like a fool. Trump

54
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: knows that, and so he knows that all he has

55
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: to do is stretch it out one more day, that

56
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: tomorrow the pain stuff and the golden age will begin.

57
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: And if it doesn't happen tomorrow, well then it will

58
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: be the next day after that, or the next day

59
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: after that, or the one after that, until when there's

60
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: no more days and everybody sees clearly Donald Trump will

61
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: do precisely what Adolph Hitler and Joseph Goegels did, what

62
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: all fascists do. They will blame it on the weakness

63
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: of the people. They'll blame it on MAGA, and they'll say,

64
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: if we had better followers, the Golden Age would have come.

65
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:32,239
Speaker 1: If we had less Panicicans, we would have prevailed. Now,

66
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: the United States Congress, comprised of four hundred and thirty

67
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: five members of the House one hundred members of the Senate,

68
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: can stop this in an instant, and yet they do not.

69
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: The issue is not about removing Donald Trump in an

70
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: election four years from now. The issue is defeating the

71
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: corrupt Congress that turned itself into a poll up burea

72
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: and did nothing, nothing to protect the American people. So

73
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: this isn't about targeting three or four campaigns from Washington

74
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: with one hundred million dollars each. Millions of voters must

75
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: be registered in a great moral cause. There must be qualified, credible, tough,

76
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: normal candidates from ordinary walks of life, not people who

77
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: have been aspiring to be an elected office since they

78
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: were three years old, to serve for a small, short

79
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: increment of their lives to stand on their convictions, apply

80
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: common sense, put their handout to someone they disagree with,

81
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: and put the fucking country first. That's what's required. All

82
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: across this country, people who have not thought about running

83
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: for office start thinking about it. All across this country,

84
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: people who have never gone to a protest, they're going

85
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: to be going to the second one and bring someone

86
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: who hasn't gone to the first one. Yet. All around

87
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: this country there are people who think their vote doesn't count,

88
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: who think that their voice shouldn't be raised because it

89
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: can't be heard. These people have been lied to. They

90
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: have been tricked and deceived into surrendering their agency, to

91
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: want to be tyrants, to giving away the greatest power

92
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: an American has, the vote to say no, we will

93
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: not tolerate this. You know, I spent a year of

94
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: my life running a presidential campaign for John McCaine, and

95
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: on that campaign travel to every corner of this country,

96
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: and most of the time Lindsay Graham was on that plane,

97
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: where he was on that bus, where he was in

98
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: the hotel suite. He was a friend of mine and

99
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: knew everything about the man, every detail except one. I

100
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: thought we all believed in the country we had all

101
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: taken an oath to it. Lindy Graham didn't believe in

102
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: the country. He believed in politics that would give him

103
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: a purpose. He's a man without a wife, a man

104
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: without a husband, a man who leads a secret and

105
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: lonely life, a man without connection, a man who exists

106
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: seeking filling. To say, the hollowness in that emptiness and

107
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: the loneliness he's talked about this. What he wanted was relevance.

108
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: He's a sidekick who was amiable enough made people laugh,

109
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: but deep down he's a sinister man. Deep down he's

110
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: an angry man. He doesn't feel respected, he doesn't feel

111
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: like he has a place, and so he found a

112
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: place at the side of a man of malice, trading

113
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: his connection to an American patriot flawed. Though he may

114
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: have been to a record, a despoiler of the Republic,

115
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: Lindsay Graham got in line. Penn thinks he's a hero.

116
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: You won't watch the movie about Lindsay Graham, The Last

117
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: Days of Quisling. It's on Apple TV. The Norwegian trader

118
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: who became out off Hitler stooge sold out his people

119
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: for power, and that is the crime of the Maga Congress.

120
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: They sold you out so Trump wouldn't tweet mean things

121
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: about them, wrecked your retirement savings, wrecked your children's streams.

122
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: Because here's the thing, the American mind is trained to

123
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: beledieve that we are immunized from suffering. In the twenty

124
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: first century. Our pre eminence is a birthright as opposed

125
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: to a fragile gift that we did not maintain, and

126
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: it's on the edge of being lost. I'm fifty four

127
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: years old. There will never ever be another day in

128
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: my life where America was as rich, as powerful, as honorable,

129
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:58,479
Speaker 1: as decent, respected in the world ever again during my lifetime.

130
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: My country, your country has been put into decline for

131
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: no reason. The economy is being crashed so Eric and

132
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: Donald Junior can clean up a bitcoin speculation. The corruption

133
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: is everywhere. Donald Trump has made clear he's not only

134
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: above the law, you're below it. Donald Trump is coming

135
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: and he's not stopping. And the reason he's not stopping

136
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: is because the people like Chuck Schumer who were supposed

137
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: to stop him did this instead. And we will win.

138
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 2: We will win.

139
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: We will win, we will win. I'm angry at the

140
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: people who have attacked our country, but I understand them.

141
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: They want power and they aim to take it. There

142
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: are no words that I can articulate to express to

143
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: contempt for Chuck Schumer, who did not plan to fight,

144
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: who did not stand up at the hour it was

145
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: called for, who laid down, refuses to yield his general ship,

146
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: and fates us through his manifesting competence to lose and

147
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: lose and lose again to this vile movement. Wolves are

148
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: at the door, and a Democratic party of sheep has

149
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: not met the moment. If you're a Democrat, challenge in

150
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: a primary sitting member of Congress, he's over seventy years old.

151
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: Take them out. You will win the race. When it

152
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: comes to the billionaire class in this country that has

153
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: made a run on our liberty, they will not make

154
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: it through the reckoning. The companies will be broken up,

155
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: the tax rates will be adjusted appropriately, and we're going

156
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: to decrease the amount of people in this country worth

157
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: one hundred billion dollars nation states, unto themselves, who have

158
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: the capacity to take something ephemeral, beautiful, paid for in

159
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 1: blood from three hundred and fifty two million people. This moment,

160
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: this second demands that every person who has courage to

161
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: assert it. Every person who has a voice to raise it,

162
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 1: for every person who has a conscience to employ it,

163
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: for every American who has a beating patriotic card, get

164
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: in the fight. I'm speaking in Tulsa, Oklahoma on April

165
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: to tenth, going there to call for people in Oklahoma

166
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 1: to stand up, push back, and take out the most

167
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: loathsome senator they have ever sent to Washington. Mark Wayne Mullen,

168
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: a preening jackass, a moral powered Uh meow, Mark Wayne Mullen.

169
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: Let's watch him talk about Matt Gates.

170
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 2: And this is a guy that didn't have that. The

171
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 2: media didn't give a time at day to after he

172
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 2: was accused of sleeping with an underage girl. And there's

173
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 2: a reason why no one and the conference came definite

174
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 2: him because we had all seen the videos he was

175
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 2: showing on the house floor that all of us had

176
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 2: walked away of the girls that he had slept with.

177
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: Just the other day, he talked about shooting journalists, but

178
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: then he said he was joking. He's not joking, and

179
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: he means it all of the meeting. It's time to

180
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: wake up to that. It's not the first time the

181
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: people who have called themselves Americans have come together in

182
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: an awful cause. They have rationalized to themselves that if

183
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: they can get enough for them, if they can keep enough,

184
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: have enough slaves, have enough billions, whatever it may be,

185
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: then the price of that is worth the destruction of

186
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: the American Republic. Takers know only one medace. We must

187
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: deliver it to them with harshness. This is the warning,

188
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: and I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning. I invite
