Speaker 1: This is the warning.
Speaker 2: Donald is melting down, and it's not because of the
Speaker 2: heat in either Florida or Washington, DC. He's melting down
Speaker 2: because of this. All you need to understand the issue
Speaker 2: is to look at this tweet by his eldest son ouday. Now,
Speaker 2: if your children ever ask where do all the lives go,
Speaker 2: you can point to Donald's ankles in a photograph and
Speaker 2: say they go there.
Speaker 1: Do you want your ankles to look like that?
Speaker 2: The truth of the matter is, in this moment, what's
Speaker 2: happening to Donald to MAGA, what's swirling all around is
Speaker 2: Donald is trying to escape from a prison that he's
Speaker 2: constructed and alligator alcatraz, if you will, But instead of
Speaker 2: sharp toothed reptiles ringing the prison, it is dull headed
Speaker 2: MAGA members like Laura Lumer who are surrounding him. He
Speaker 2: is imprisoned by his whack jobs. A fitting way to
Speaker 2: begin the beginning of the MAGA end. Truth of the
Speaker 2: matter is, elections have consequences, and Donald Trump holds executive power.
Speaker 2: And Donald Trump has done unprecedented damage, will continue to
Speaker 2: do unprecedented damage. It will take many, many years to
Speaker 2: recover from the insanity, from the arson from the destruction
Speaker 2: that Donald Trump has caused the United States of America
Speaker 2: is burning food rather than distribute it.
Speaker 1: To hungry children.
Speaker 2: Stephen Miller and his extremism, his racism, his cold bloodedness,
Speaker 2: his lust for power, all of this needs to be confronted,
Speaker 2: dealt with head on, forcefully by the American people, who
Speaker 2: can repudiate it, can reject it, can make sure the
Speaker 2: one hundred and twentieth Congress restrains executive power, make certain
Speaker 2: there is never ever again a presidency like the Donald
Speaker 2: Trump president. See but it is too late to prevent
Speaker 2: the damage that Trump has caused that.
Speaker 1: He will continue to cause.
Speaker 2: The only thing that can stop it at this point
Speaker 2: is the anger of the American people who rightly look
Speaker 2: at Chuck Schumer and say what and look at the
Speaker 2: appeasing Democratic Senate and wonder why it was that six
Speaker 2: US Senators with a d nex to their name voted
Speaker 2: to confirm Christy nom What's coming is terrible, but it
Speaker 2: can be stopped and ended by putting a check on
Speaker 2: Donald Trump. And here's why it's necessary to put a
Speaker 2: check on Donald Trump. The whole country rightly is watching
Speaker 2: Donald Trump's poll numbers collapse as he is caught up
Speaker 2: in this Epstein saga of his own making. What happened
Speaker 2: here is easy to understand. John Kennedy explained it a
Speaker 2: long time ago. What he said was be where the
Speaker 2: foolish men who seek power by trying to ride the
Speaker 2: back of the tiger, only to wind up inside all
Speaker 2: conspiracy theories devour themselves. And so while Trump's MAGA coalition
Speaker 2: incited to abject craziness by whack jobs like Cash Betel
Speaker 2: and Dan Bongino, now understand that Trump, though he may
Speaker 2: get away with shooting somebody in broad daylight, will not
Speaker 2: get away with his attorney general saying in the plane
Speaker 2: light of day I'm looking at the Epstein file on
Speaker 2: my desk, and then say there is no Epstein file.
Speaker 1: That doesn't work even.
Speaker 2: For the most dim witted MAGA adherent who views Trump
Speaker 2: as God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost all wrapped up
Speaker 2: together into one person.
Speaker 1: Now here's the deal.
Speaker 2: Anybody who examines the issue of Jeffrey Epstein appreciates what
Speaker 2: Palm Area of The Red Letter has reported over and
Speaker 2: over again that to understand this story, you have to
Speaker 2: appreciate how it began, which is the parents of troubled,
Speaker 2: blue collar, vulnerable girls fourteen and fifteen started banging on
Speaker 2: the dwarf the Palm Beach Police department, saying, there's somebody
Speaker 2: down here who's raping my little girl, and the police
Speaker 2: didn't care because in Palm Beach, the upper class that
Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump were part of writes the rules,
Speaker 2: and the little people, well, they get what they deserve, right,
Speaker 2: and so understanding what Jeffrey Epstein is about is understanding
Speaker 2: the meaning of class in America, and so they don't
Speaker 2: appreciate forty percent of the country doesn't have four hundred
Speaker 2: dollars cash for an emergency, and so they don't appreciate
Speaker 2: the two tier justice system that Donald Trump promised to end.
Speaker 2: Those people put their faith in a comment and a
Speaker 2: bullshitter who is exactly the person they disdain, but knows
Speaker 2: how to speak the language to convince those people that
Speaker 2: he was on their side, because certainly it is the
Speaker 2: case that the other party that says is on their side,
Speaker 2: well not so much either.
Speaker 1: Though.
Speaker 2: There should be a political party in America that's on
Speaker 2: the side of ordinary people.
Speaker 1: And if there is a political party.
Speaker 2: Let's say the Democratic Party, that can get it together
Speaker 2: and be on the side of ordinary people. Then we
Speaker 2: can end this mag of madness. But for now we'll
Speaker 2: have to make do with the warnings. So while Trump
Speaker 2: is melting down, while Trump is threatening to fire the
Speaker 2: head of the Fed, Jerome Powell, we have to go
Speaker 2: back to two thousand and eight, two thousand and nine
Speaker 2: to understand what collapse in the financial markets looks like.
Speaker 2: And at some level you could make the argument the
Speaker 2: country has never really recovered from that crash politically or economically.
Speaker 2: The richest have income, inequality has exploded, but the core
Speaker 2: foundations of the economy not so much. And here we go,
Speaker 2: and this is key to understand. Donald Trump ran promising
Speaker 2: to make America great again, promising to make the American
Speaker 2: people rich again.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has disgraced America.
Speaker 2: It's embarrassed our Country's undermined our values. Heeds well on
Speaker 2: his way to making us poorer, making us less secure,
Speaker 2: demolishing opportunity for a generation, and guaranteeing that at the
Speaker 2: dawn of the twenty second century, there will be one
Speaker 2: pre eminent power in the world, China, and that will
Speaker 2: be the legacy of the Trump administration. Ten years of
Speaker 2: Donald Trump have torn the fabric of the country apart,
Speaker 2: have threatened the integrity of the American civilization, have lit
Speaker 2: the Constitution on fire. And now all of it, the conspiracies,
Speaker 2: the insanity, the stupidity.
Speaker 1: Is all coming home to roost.
Speaker 2: The American people will have to make a decision because
Speaker 2: they will pay the price, and the price will be high,
Speaker 2: because elections do have consequences. Some people say their vote
Speaker 2: doesn't count, well, they couldn't be more wrong. When enough
Speaker 2: people say my vote doesn't count and there's no difference
Speaker 2: between the parties, this is what happens. And by the
Speaker 2: time we get to the end of the happening, we
Speaker 2: will have a long memory around what happened, and the
Speaker 2: American people may not want to talk about it anymore,
Speaker 2: and they may never want to think about it again,
Speaker 2: which is okay, so long as they vote to end
Speaker 2: it forever and send the people who caused it packing
Speaker 2: far far away. Oh and let me just say in
Speaker 2: a word before closing to Hunter Biden, who opined about
Speaker 2: why his father lost the election and turned the government
Speaker 2: over to MAGA. He said it was because Democrats were
Speaker 2: not loyal to his father.
Speaker 1: That's not what happened. Hunter.
Speaker 2: What happened was you their father, their family, a handful
Speaker 2: of advisors, or more loyal to an old man and
Speaker 2: his ambition and his ego than you were to the
Speaker 2: country and the disaster at hand. Well, it's your fault.
Speaker 2: This is the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning.
Speaker 2: I invite you to join this community where I promise
Speaker 2: to be honest, blunt and direct about what is happening
Speaker 2: in this country. America is in crisis. Follow and subscribe
Speaker 2: to this channel and on substack.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
