It will take many, many years to 21 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 2: recover from the insanity, from the arson from the destruction 22 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 2: that Donald Trump has caused the United States of America 23 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 2: is burning food rather than distribute it. 24 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: To hungry children. 25 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 2: Stephen Miller and his extremism, his racism, his cold bloodedness, 26 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 2: his lust for power, all of this needs to be confronted, 27 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 2: dealt with head on, forcefully by the American people, who 28 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 2: can repudiate it, can reject it, can make sure the 29 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 2: one hundred and twentieth Congress restrains executive power, make certain 30 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 2: there is never ever again a presidency like the Donald 31 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 2: Trump president. See but it is too late to prevent 32 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,639 Speaker 2: the damage that Trump has caused that. 33 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,239 Speaker 1: He will continue to cause. 34 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 2: The only thing that can stop it at this point 35 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 2: is the anger of the American people who rightly look 36 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 2: at Chuck Schumer and say what and look at the 37 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 2: appeasing Democratic Senate and wonder why it was that six 38 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 2: US Senators with a d nex to their name voted 39 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 2: to confirm Christy nom What's coming is terrible, but it 40 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 2: can be stopped and ended by putting a check on 41 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 2: Donald Trump. And here's why it's necessary to put a 42 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 2: check on Donald Trump. The whole country rightly is watching 43 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 2: Donald Trump's poll numbers collapse as he is caught up 44 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 2: in this Epstein saga of his own making. What happened 45 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 2: here is easy to understand. John Kennedy explained it a 46 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 2: long time ago. What he said was be where the 47 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 2: foolish men who seek power by trying to ride the 48 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 2: back of the tiger, only to wind up inside all 49 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 2: conspiracy theories devour themselves. And so while Trump's MAGA coalition 50 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 2: incited to abject craziness by whack jobs like Cash Betel 51 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 2: and Dan Bongino, now understand that Trump, though he may 52 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 2: get away with shooting somebody in broad daylight, will not 53 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 2: get away with his attorney general saying in the plane 54 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 2: light of day I'm looking at the Epstein file on 55 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 2: my desk, and then say there is no Epstein file. 56 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: That doesn't work even. 57 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 2: For the most dim witted MAGA adherent who views Trump 58 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 2: as God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost all wrapped up 59 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 2: together into one person. 60 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: Now here's the deal. 61 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 2: Anybody who examines the issue of Jeffrey Epstein appreciates what 62 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 2: Palm Area of The Red Letter has reported over and 63 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 2: over again that to understand this story, you have to 64 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 2: appreciate how it began, which is the parents of troubled, 65 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 2: blue collar, vulnerable girls fourteen and fifteen started banging on 66 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 2: the dwarf the Palm Beach Police department, saying, there's somebody 67 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 2: down here who's raping my little girl, and the police 68 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 2: didn't care because in Palm Beach, the upper class that 69 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump were part of writes the rules, 70 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 2: and the little people, well, they get what they deserve, right, 71 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 2: and so understanding what Jeffrey Epstein is about is understanding 72 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 2: the meaning of class in America, and so they don't 73 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 2: appreciate forty percent of the country doesn't have four hundred 74 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 2: dollars cash for an emergency, and so they don't appreciate 75 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 2: the two tier justice system that Donald Trump promised to end. 76 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 2: Those people put their faith in a comment and a 77 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 2: bullshitter who is exactly the person they disdain, but knows 78 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 2: how to speak the language to convince those people that 79 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 2: he was on their side, because certainly it is the 80 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 2: case that the other party that says is on their side, 81 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 2: well not so much either. 82 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: Though. 83 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 2: There should be a political party in America that's on 84 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 2: the side of ordinary people. 85 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: And if there is a political party. 86 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 2: Let's say the Democratic Party, that can get it together 87 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 2: and be on the side of ordinary people. Then we 88 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 2: can end this mag of madness. But for now we'll 89 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 2: have to make do with the warnings. So while Trump 90 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 2: is melting down, while Trump is threatening to fire the 91 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 2: head of the Fed, Jerome Powell, we have to go 92 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 2: back to two thousand and eight, two thousand and nine 93 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 2: to understand what collapse in the financial markets looks like. 94 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 2: And at some level you could make the argument the 95 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,919 Speaker 2: country has never really recovered from that crash politically or economically. 96 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 2: The richest have income, inequality has exploded, but the core 97 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 2: foundations of the economy not so much. And here we go, 98 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 2: and this is key to understand. Donald Trump ran promising 99 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 2: to make America great again, promising to make the American 100 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 2: people rich again. 101 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: Donald Trump has disgraced America. 102 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 2: It's embarrassed our Country's undermined our values. Heeds well on 103 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 2: his way to making us poorer, making us less secure, 104 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 2: demolishing opportunity for a generation, and guaranteeing that at the 105 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 2: dawn of the twenty second century, there will be one 106 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 2: pre eminent power in the world, China, and that will 107 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 2: be the legacy of the Trump administration. Ten years of 108 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 2: Donald Trump have torn the fabric of the country apart, 109 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 2: have threatened the integrity of the American civilization, have lit 110 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 2: the Constitution on fire. And now all of it, the conspiracies, 111 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 2: the insanity, the stupidity. 112 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: Is all coming home to roost. 113 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 2: The American people will have to make a decision because 114 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 2: they will pay the price, and the price will be high, 115 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 2: because elections do have consequences. Some people say their vote 116 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 2: doesn't count, well, they couldn't be more wrong. When enough 117 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 2: people say my vote doesn't count and there's no difference 118 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 2: between the parties, this is what happens. And by the 119 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 2: time we get to the end of the happening, we 120 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 2: will have a long memory around what happened, and the 121 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 2: American people may not want to talk about it anymore, 122 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 2: and they may never want to think about it again, 123 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 2: which is okay, so long as they vote to end 124 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 2: it forever and send the people who caused it packing 125 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 2: far far away. Oh and let me just say in 126 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 2: a word before closing to Hunter Biden, who opined about 127 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 2: why his father lost the election and turned the government 128 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 2: over to MAGA. He said it was because Democrats were 129 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 2: not loyal to his father. 130 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: That's not what happened. Hunter. 131 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 2: What happened was you their father, their family, a handful 132 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 2: of advisors, or more loyal to an old man and 133 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 2: his ambition and his ego than you were to the 134 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 2: country and the disaster at hand. Well, it's your fault. 135 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 2: This is the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt.
