Speaker 1: Merry Christmas. I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning. Thanks
Speaker 1: for listening, thanks for checking in every day. The year
Speaker 1: is coming to an end, and it was a historic one.
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty five. It was the year where Donald Trump
Speaker 1: took the oath of office, gave a speech renouncing eighty
Speaker 1: years of American strength, eighty years of American leadership, and
Speaker 1: then set about refuting all of the values, all of
Speaker 1: the ideas, all of the ideals that we are supposed
Speaker 1: to stand for as a nation. Twenty twenty five was
Speaker 1: a dark year in our story. It was a year
Speaker 1: of violence. It was a year of the masked agent.
Speaker 1: None of this existed in America in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: Priests were not shot in the head on orders from
Speaker 1: government officials by mass men. There were no concentration camps.
Speaker 1: The American economy was not tanking. The liars had not
Speaker 1: yet spilled out over the Sunday airwaves to tell us
Speaker 1: everything is okay when we know it's not. Prices are higher,
Speaker 1: the world is more dangerous. Trump says he's a peacemaker,
Speaker 1: but there's an army ready for war just off the
Speaker 1: coast of South America. The president of the United States
Speaker 1: is best friends with the child sex trafficker. We didn't
Speaker 1: know that as clearly a year ago as we do
Speaker 1: today with the Epstein files coming out. How many times
Speaker 1: exactly did Donald Trump fly on Jeffrey Epstein's plane? How
Speaker 1: much time did he spend in the company of this man? Well,
Speaker 1: it turns out a great deal. But we know that
Speaker 1: there's nothing new to learn about Trump. The man who
Speaker 1: buried his first wife on the first tee at his
Speaker 1: golf course and adjudicated rapist. That's what Trump is. He has
Speaker 1: been accused of sexual assault by dozens of different women.
Speaker 1: We've seen him fetishize his daughter in the strangest ways,
Speaker 1: and yet in this time of American insanity and decline
Speaker 1: and depravity, none of it seems to matter.
Speaker 2: Why.
Speaker 1: Well, part of the reason is the deep corruption of
Speaker 1: the not Democratic Party and not Democrats, but by the
Speaker 1: leaders of the Democratic Party. Here's Bill Clinton with Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 1: Is he somehow better than Trump? Because of Bill Clinton?
Speaker 1: We have Trump. Trump is the price of failure. Trump
Speaker 1: is the cost of all of the decay, the withering
Speaker 1: of ethics, the collapse of right and wrong. And so
Speaker 1: we have this man who ran for an election and
Speaker 1: was judged incredibly by forty nine and a half percent
Speaker 1: of the voters to be the more on its candidate
Speaker 1: in the race. When it came to the economy, when
Speaker 1: it came to the border, when it came to the
Speaker 1: fitness of Joe Biden, every Democrat got in line behind
Speaker 1: the lie that Biden was okay. But here's the deal.
Speaker 1: Biden on his worst day was more coherent than Trump
Speaker 1: is on any day in recent memory. For example, here.
Speaker 3: The presidency is the most powerful office of the world.
Speaker 3: So an officer not only tests your judgment, perhaps even
Speaker 3: more importantly, it's an office that can test your character,
Speaker 3: because you're not only face moments when you need to
Speaker 3: courage exercise the full power of the presidency. You also
Speaker 3: face moments where you need the wisdom to respect the
Speaker 3: limits of the power of the office of the presidency.
Speaker 3: This nation was founded on the principle that there are
Speaker 3: no kings in America. Each each of us is equal
Speaker 3: before the law. No one, no one is above the law,
Speaker 3: not even the President of the United States. And here
Speaker 3: our politics have become so divided and so bitter. All
Speaker 3: the years I've been doing this, I never thought we'd
Speaker 3: get to this point. But we are our troops don't
Speaker 3: wear a uniform and says I'm a Democrat or I'm
Speaker 3: a Republican, says I'm an American. I'm an American. That's
Speaker 3: who I am. I'm serious about this. I'm not joking.
Speaker 3: And folks, our politics has become, as I said, so divided.
Speaker 3: They wear the uniform of the United States of America.
Speaker 3: The only nation in the world literally not free. The
Speaker 3: only nation in the world founded on an idea, an idea.
Speaker 3: Every nation was founded on geography, ethnicity, some unifying principle,
Speaker 3: but not an idea. The idea of America has found out.
Speaker 3: We hold these truths to be self ad Hello, man
Speaker 3: and women are created equal or here After fifty years
Speaker 3: of public service, I give you my word, I still
Speaker 3: believe in the idea for which this nicest stands. Nation
Speaker 3: where the strengths of our institutions and the character of
Speaker 3: our people matter and must endure. Now it's your turn
Speaker 3: to stand guard. May you all be the keeper of
Speaker 3: the flame. May you keep the faith. I love America.
Speaker 3: You love it too. God bless you all you make
Speaker 3: God protect your truths. Thank you for this great honor.
Speaker 1: It is all craziness and it's dangerous. Twenty twenty six
Speaker 1: will mark the two hundred and fiftieth birthday of the
Speaker 1: United States of America as an independent nation. It is
Speaker 1: the most important before and after moment in human civilization
Speaker 1: since the birth of Jesus Christ. The United States is
Speaker 1: a country made up from a concept, from an idea,
Speaker 1: from ideals that came into being over hundreds of years
Speaker 1: about freedom. And our country made up of all of
Speaker 1: the peoples of the world, made up of all the
Speaker 1: fates of the world. A country where every known language
Speaker 1: of the world is spoken commonly somewhere every day. That country,
Speaker 1: our country, America, has fed more people, cured more people,
Speaker 1: clothed more people, and liberated more people than all of
Speaker 1: the other people in all of the other nations since
Speaker 1: the beginning of recorded history. That is what is being
Speaker 1: torn down on this Christmas Day by the most vile
Speaker 1: and immoral man to ever lead the American nation. We
Speaker 1: have much to be grateful for, and one of the
Speaker 1: things on this Christmas Day that every American should be
Speaker 1: grateful for is this gift, which is this.
Speaker 2: We can wipe away this filth, and we can start
Speaker 2: in less than a year at the next election, vote
Speaker 2: these people out. It is a gift that we can
Speaker 2: give to our children and to their children, and to
Speaker 2: send a message and a lesson that will ring through
Speaker 2: the ages that if you dare to take the oath
Speaker 2: to the Constitution of the United States and to break it,
Speaker 2: will break your.
Speaker 1: Career in half. This is the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt.
Speaker 1: This is the warning. I invite you to join this
Speaker 1: community where I promise to be honest, blunt and direct
Speaker 1: about what is happening in this country. America is in crisis.
