Now, personally, 6 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 1: I'd rather climb up to the top of the Empire. 7 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,599 Speaker 2: State Building and take a swan dive. But to each 8 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 2: his own. 9 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: It is a free country, at least for a little 10 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: while longer if Turning Point USA doesn't get its way. 11 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 1: It's Tuesday, February third, and I'm Steve Schmidt. 12 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 2: This is the warning. 13 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: Here was the grieving widow. Eleven days after Charlie Kirk's murder. 14 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 3: We had over two hundred and seventy five thousand people 15 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 3: that attended, and the stadium overflow Westgate insane, you guys. 16 00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 3: And then you have was it one hundred million you 17 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 3: guys that heard the gospel and all about Charlie and 18 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 3: all about everything that you guys do and the hard 19 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 3: work of turning twenty essay is insane. We had thousands 20 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 3: that were registered to vote. I think we're at like 21 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 3: over two hundred thousand for merch sales don't quote me 22 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 3: on that, because I think it just keeps like bumping 23 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 3: up like crazy. 24 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 2: She was thrilled with the merchandise sales. 25 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: Who knows how much the whole might be on Sunday, 26 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: But first, let's focus in on the Maga moron of 27 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: the day. On the edge of the Trump regime destroying 28 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 1: the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. And 29 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: I don't mean just closing it, I mean bulldozing it. 30 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: Jesse Waters had this to say about art. 31 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 4: The people say, oh, you got to respect their opinion. 32 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 4: I do respect their opinion, but I don't value their 33 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 4: opinion because their opinion is not informed. If I want 34 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 4: to hear a great song, I listened to Lady. If 35 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 4: I want to hear about immigration policy, I listened to 36 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 4: Stephen Miller, who also has a great voice. 37 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 2: What else can Miller do? 38 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: Hey, we might find out. There are many sociopaths and 39 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: psychopaths that have appeared on the air of Fox News 40 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: in recent years. Laura Ingram Sean Hannity is nuts and 41 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: he's a liar, But there is no one as just 42 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: dumb as a box of rocks, dumb as Jesse Waters. Incredible. 43 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: Maga is obsessed with the artists. Let's listen to Corey Lewandowski. 44 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 5: I'm gonna say, eyes out, We're not savas, We're not animals, 45 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 5: we're not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans. 46 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 4: What do you think about the NFL picking him for 47 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 4: this big Super Bowl halftime show? More importantly, if he 48 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 4: pulls some of these antics on Sunday, how do you 49 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 4: think the public might respond? 50 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 5: Well? 51 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 6: At first and foremost, I'm going to wish my New 52 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 6: England Patriots, my home team, great luck on Sunday. I 53 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 6: was really going to go to the game, but then 54 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 6: bad Bunny showed up. Anybody who's an American says, nothing 55 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 6: to worry about it. It's very simple. If you're lawfully 56 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 6: in this country, you have nothing to worry about. If 57 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 6: you're hear in a green cart legally, you have nothing 58 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 6: to worry about. 59 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 7: It is the. 60 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 6: Rapist and the murderers, and the six traffickers and the 61 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 6: child pedophiles who are in this country illegally who need 62 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 6: to be worried. So I recommend you go to the 63 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 6: CVP home app you self deport We'll give you twenty 64 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 6: six hundred dollars, will fly you home.

Last night? In a post you alluded to. 70 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 8: Something that become well, he said that, he said that 71 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 8: I spent time on Jeffrey Epstein's island. 72 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 2: I didn't. 73 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 8: I mean, he's a lightweight. This guy, he's a terrible 74 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 8: I think he's terrible. I thought he did a terrible 75 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 8: job at the Grammys. I thought the whole Grammys was terrible. 76 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 8: I watched part of it. It's not watchable. But he 77 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 8: was a lassie host. I'd say, not as bad as 78 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 8: Jimmy Kimbo, but pretty close. And no, he made a 79 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 8: statement about me and Jeffrey Epstein's I have nothing to 80 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 8: do with that. I have nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstin. 81 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 8: And in fact, if you look at the DOJ they announced, 82 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 8: you know, they released three median pages, It's like this 83 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 8: is all they're supposed to be doing. And frankly, the DOJ, 84 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 8: I think you just say, we have other things to do. 85 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 2: What about this one? 86 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 4: Ice keeps families more together than the music business, trust me. 87 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 4: I mean twenty three and me couldn't even figure out 88 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 4: the family trees in that industry. 89 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 2: Or it is a powerful force. 90 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: Just to ask the people of Minneapolis, and how much 91 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: these words by Bruce Springsteen Matten. 92 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 7: Now they say that he a pull alone, They trample 93 00:04:51,680 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 7: Alona right, fskidess black a brown my friend, you question 94 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 7: door reported on side in our chances, Heart and soul 95 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 7: persist too, broken class and bloodies. 96 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 2: On the streets of many. Here's the deal. John F. 97 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 1: Kennedy understood something about artists and their role in American society. 98 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 2: Here's what he said. 99 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 9: For art establishes the basic human truth, which muster serve 100 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 9: as the touchdown of our judgment. The artist, however, faithful 101 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 9: to his personal vision of reality, becomes the lost champion 102 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 9: of the individual mind and sensibility against an intrusive society 103 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 9: and an officious state. 104 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 10: The great artist is thus a solitary figure. He has, 105 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 10: as Frost said, a love his quarrel with the world. 106 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 10: In pursuing his perceptions of reality, he must often sail 107 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 10: against the currents of his time. 108 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: It was the last major speech he gave before he 109 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: was assassinated, which is what makes the trump vandalism of 110 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: the Kennedy Center so much more obscene. Bad Bunny, through 111 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: his music, has put four hundred million dollars into the 112 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 1: Puerto Rican economy. He is a person who is generous 113 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: with his gift, and he's being criticized and smeared by 114 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: a pack of vile liars, starting with Donald Trump, who 115 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,799 Speaker 1: together are some of the most selfish people in American history. 116 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, since he has become the president in shady 117 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: deal after shady deal after shady deal, with shady Saudi's 118 00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: and shady m Arodi's shady deals where he has mortgage 119 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 1: our security and given away our secrets for money and 120 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 1: more money and more money after that, he is a 121 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: pig and Bad Bunny is a patriot. And here's another thing. 122 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: For all of the ignorant magus, Puerto Ricans are as Americans, 123 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: as apple pie, just like a pasty scanned, blue eyed 124 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: albino born on the Iowa plane. Here's the deal. Donald 125 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: Trump is afraid of real power. And in American music, 126 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: there is real power because there is real inspiration. And 127 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: when you can touch someone's heart, you can save their soul. 128 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: And that's what Donald Trump doesn't like about Bad Bunny 129 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: or the Grammys because Donald Trump he wants your soul 130 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: for himself. The devil has always played the game exactly 131 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: that way. I'm Steve Schmidt, and this is the warning. 132 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning.
