1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: It is Monday, October twentieth. This is the morning. One

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: year ago the presidential campaign was coming into its final days,

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: the home stretch. One year from now, the twenty twenty

4
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: six congressional campaigns will be in their home stretch. The

5
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: most important weapon in Donald Trump's arsenal, the one that

6
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: he reaches for every day, that is channeled out through

7
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: all of the propaganda spewed from the White House, Fox

8
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: News newsmaxan from the mouths of wretched men like Mike Johnson,

9
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: like Ted Cruz, is to be afraid of them. It

10
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 1: is the singularly most Unamerican thing that you can be four,

11
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: which is to make a fellow American a freid in

12
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: their home, in their job, in their unity. Because people

13
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: who live in fear cannot live in dignity, and people

14
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: who cannot live in dignity cannot live in freedom, and

15
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: freedom is the birthright of every American. We have settled

16
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: that question, the idea that in the United States of America,

17
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: the twenty first century American dream is a nightmare with

18
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: masked men pointing weapons at the American people, in firing

19
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: at them from rooftops when they're not repelling onto them.

20
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: With flash bangs, explosive devices from ice helicopters is unacceptable.

21
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: It cannot be tolerated, and it must not be tolerated.

22
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: And so this weekend, in New York City, in Boston,

23
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. In Salt Lake City, in Boise, Idaho,

24
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: in Texas, across the country, in twenty seven hundred different locations,

25
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: the American people turned out to stand up for something

26
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: bigger than themselves, for each other, for their country. John

27
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: Kennedy asked, ask not what your country can do for you,

28
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: but what you can do for your country. And this

29
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: weekend people did something remarkable for their country. They announced

30
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: together that we will not be afraid of you. And

31
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: the people were not afraid. Instead, the people left and

32
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: they danced, and they wore inflatable costumes to point out

33
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 1: the absurdity of the malice, of the menace of all

34
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: of the laws. Think about the sickness of Ted Cruz,

35
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: of Mike Johnson slandering millions of Americans who don't like

36
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: the way they do their jobs as traders, as terrorists

37
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: Hamas did this look like a Hamas crowd?

38
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: To what I've been urging is follow the money. Cut

39
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 2: off the money and you look at this No King's rally,

40
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 2: and there's considerable evidence that George Soros at his network

41
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: is behind funding these rallies, which may well be riots

42
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 2: all across the country, and Soros' is is writing the check.

43
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 2: And so I've introduced legislation called the Stop Funders Act

44
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: that would add rioting to the list of predicate offenses

45
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: for RICO. Why is that because it would let the

46
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 2: Department of Justice use RICO racketeering to prosecute the money

47
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 2: that is funding the anti Semitic protests on campuses, the

48
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: pro open border protest in LA and other cities, and

49
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 2: these No King protests, anyone that is supporting rioting and violence.

50
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 2: That lets you go after the money. And I'll tell

51
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: you there are more than two hundred left wing groups

52
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 2: behind these No Kings rallies this weekend. They deliberately are

53
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: blind to what each of the others are doing. That's

54
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: part of how they avoid accountability. RICO is designed for

55
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 2: precisely that sort of criminal enterprise. And so I believe

56
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: the Senate we ought to take up and vote on

57
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: and pass our Stop Funders legislation. And I've urged both

58
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 2: Pambondi at DOJ and cash Betel at FBI, follow the

59
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: money and prosecute those who are writing checks funding acts

60
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 2: of violence, political violence, or otherwise across the country.

61
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: The lies spill out now from these people more easily,

62
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: and when the lies come more easily, the actions that

63
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: follow those lies come easier. Too simple. Truth is Donald

64
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: who responded to the majesty of these events with an

65
00:04:45,720 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: AI video of a plane dropping shit on the country.

66
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: Even Donald appreciates he's failing and getting the lowest common

67
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: denominator to cheer by being an apologist for young Nazis,

68
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: for stoking violence. All of these things are thin gruel.

69
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: The farmers are going bankrupt, prices are going up.

70
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 3: Question is what do you have to say to us farmers?

71
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: You feel that the deal is benefiting Argentina more than.

72
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 3: It is them as they are, Argentina is fighting for

73
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 3: its life, young lady, you don't know anything about it.

74
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 3: They're fighting for their life. Nothing is benefiting Argentina. They're

75
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 3: fighting for their life. You understand what that means. They

76
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 3: have no money, they have no anything. They're fighting so

77
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 3: hard to survive. If I can help them survive in

78
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 3: a free world, I happen to like the president to Argentina.

79
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 3: Think he's trying to do the best he can, but

80
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 3: don't make it sound like they're doing great. They are dying,

81
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 3: all right, They're dying.

82
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: The Trump presidency is collapsing. His answer to it was

83
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: all point a gun at you, I'll drop shit on you.

84
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: But here's the deal. Even Donald's bright enough to get this.

85
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: He can't shoot everybody who is out protesting, and Ice

86
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: can't hold all of us away. There is safety in numbers,

87
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 1: and the antidote to fear is seeing the vast numbers

88
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: that tell all of us we're not alone, and if

89
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: we stand together, we will make it through this. Ask

90
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: the American way, and it's being tested right now. This

91
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: weekend was a good one. Defiance is a good thing.

92
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: It's an American thing. Let's practice more of it in

93
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: the troubling and trying weeks and months ahead. Never ever

94
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: get on your knees and submit to either this vile

95
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: man or his vile political movement. He's a fascist. Fascism

96
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: is the enemy of freedom. He's an American, He's an

97
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: arsonist who tried to burn down the Republic, and sadly,

98
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: because power corrupts absolutely, he's found a lot of people

99
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: that will help him light the match, and we should

100
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: remember all of their names because when this ends, better

101
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: days are ahead. And making sure none of these people

102
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: ever hold a position of trust and responsibility again is

103
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: at the front of the project to save America and

104
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: to save the Republic, because, as was pointed out by

105
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: more than a few American presidents, we are and always

106
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: will be the last best hope of mankind. I'm Steve Schmidt.
