1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: It's Friday, March the twentieth. I'm Steve Schmidt. Let's review 2 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 1: the week. This is the warning. Well, the United States 3 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: is at war with Iran. Donald Trump is already planning 4 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:17,479 Speaker 1: our next military adventure. It's with Cuba. Let's go to 5 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,319 Speaker 1: the videotape. As the great Warner Wolf used to say. 6 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 2: I think Cuba. 7 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 3: I don't know in its own way, if you know 8 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 3: tourism and everything else. 9 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 4: It's a beautiful island, great weather. They're not in a 10 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 4: hurricane zone, which is nice for a change. You know, 11 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 4: they won't be asking us some money for hurricanes every week. 12 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 4: But I think Cuba see the end. 13 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 5: You know, all my life I've been hearing about the 14 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 5: United States and Cuba. 15 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 2: When will the United States do it? I do believe 16 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 2: I'll be the honor of having the honor of taking Cuba. 17 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 2: That'd be good honor. 18 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 3: That's a big honor, taking Cuban in some form. Youa 19 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 3: taking Cuba. I mean whether I free it, take it, 20 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 3: I think I could do anything I want with it. 21 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 3: You want to know the truth. A very weekend nation 22 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 3: right now. They were for a long time, very violent, 23 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 3: very violent leaders. 24 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: War in Cuba. A mountainous Caribbean island with ten million inhabitants. 25 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: Donald Trump has effectively blockaded Cuba. He's calling for regime 26 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: change there, as he did in Iran. We'll see what 27 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: the excuses are and we'll see what the new reasons 28 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: are for the Cuban takeover when it gets stuck in 29 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: the mud. But remember this week, the first big story 30 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: is Trump's not done after Iran. Cuba is next on 31 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: his list, and who knows about Greenland and Canada. The 32 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: second story of the week is that NATO says no, Incredibly, 33 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: the Kingdom of Denmark had plans to blow up the 34 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: runways in Greenland, had shipped blood to Danish forces to 35 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 1: be prepared for combat against US forces. It is shocking. 36 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: The German chancell are made clear the Germany was not 37 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 1: consulted over Donald Trump and bb net and Yahoo's war 38 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: and therefore will not be participating. Donald Trump has said 39 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: that all of the world's economies are impacted by the 40 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: war he started. That's true, but it's not a reason 41 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 1: for those countries, not Japan, not South Korea, none of 42 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: them to join the war. Donald Trump has started a 43 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: war and America is alone. For instance, here. 44 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 5: The potential I go with the nuclear dust. So I 45 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 5: think NATO's making a very foolish mistake. And I've long 46 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 5: said that, you know, I wonder whether or not NATO 47 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 5: would ever be there for us. So this is a 48 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 5: This was a great test because we don't need them, 49 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 5: but they should have been there. 50 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 1: And here, but we think of it. 51 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 5: We don't use this train. We're defending the straight for 52 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 5: everybody else. And then in the case of NATO, they 53 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 5: don't want to help us defend us straight and they're 54 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 5: the ones that need it. But now they're getting much 55 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 5: nicer because they're seeing my attitude. They're getting much nicer. 56 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 5: But it's as far as I'm concerned, it's too late. 57 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 5: You know, UK wants to send aircraft carriers now, and 58 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 5: I said, I want the aircraft carriers before the war. 59 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 5: I don't want them after the war is won. They 60 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 5: want to send me aircraft carriers. After the wars. There's 61 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 5: practically nobody to shoot at them. You know, their missile 62 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 5: count is down, maybe you could discuss it by about 63 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 5: ninety something percent. The drones are way down, and the 64 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 5: factories are being demolished. 65 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: And the third story is the war in Iran goes 66 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: ever onward and it's escalating. It has become a war 67 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: against energy infrastructure in the Persian Gulf. There are fifteen 68 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: different countries that are affected, and some of the largest 69 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: natural gas facilities in the world have been targeted and 70 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: have been impacted. And Katar, the facility attacked and hit 71 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: by the Iranians, will lose twenty percent of its capacity 72 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 1: for at least three years. In an instant, Donald Trump 73 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: said the Iranian regime was going to crumble quickly. The 74 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: government was decapitated. Yet the government, the regime has not crumbled. 75 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: It is holding firm, and it is shut down the 76 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: Strait of Hormuz. 77 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 6: My thirteen year old son popped into my office last 78 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 6: night while I was editing these remarks. He asked about 79 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 6: the war and the families I met at Dover, and 80 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 6: I looked at him and I said, they died for you, son, 81 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 6: so that your generation doesn't have to deal with a 82 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 6: nuclear Iran. It's the truth, and they did so. To 83 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 6: the families who said finish this, we will. And I 84 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 6: say the same to every American who wants peace through strength. 85 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 6: May Almighty God continue to bless our troops in this fight. 86 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 6: And again to the American people, please pray for them. 87 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 6: And here the world, the Middle East, our ungrateful allies 88 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 6: in Europe, even segments of our own press, should be 89 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:42,919 Speaker 6: saying one thing to President Trump, thank you, thank you 90 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 6: for the courage to stop this terror state from holding 91 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 6: the world hostage with missiles while building or attempting to 92 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 6: build a nuclear bomb. 93 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: And of course here is Donald Trump in the Oval 94 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: Office making a Pearl Harbor joke with the Prime Minister 95 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: of Japan. Global economy gets deeper and deeper into crisis, 96 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: a crisis caused by Donald Trump's rash decision. 97 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 7: Is a very good friend. But one question, why didn't 98 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 7: you tell your sience in Europe and Asia are like 99 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 7: Japan about the war before thinking you are so, we 100 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 7: are very confused about well. 101 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 5: One thing. You don't want to signal too much. You know, 102 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 5: when we go in, we went in very hard and 103 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 5: we didn't tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise. 104 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 5: Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Okay, why didn't 105 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 5: you tell me about Pearl Harbor? Okay, right, he's askab me. 106 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 5: Do you believe in surprise? I think much more so 107 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 5: than us. 108 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: The three stories that bind this week have something in common. 109 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: Every single one of them has Donald Trump at the center, 110 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: and Donald Trump at the center making a bad decision, 111 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: exercising worst judgment. Nobody can tell him no, and he 112 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: does not understand the word. So we will carene from 113 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: crisis to crisis. On in Cuba without NATO, while we're 114 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: stuck in a war in Iran that America is losing 115 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: because we cannot topple the regime, but the regime can 116 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: choke off the world's oil supply. We're in a lot 117 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: of trouble and here, as winner turns to spring, the 118 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: warning is here to cover it all.
