It is Thursday, Dump, Steve Schmidt. 20 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: This is the warning. 21 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 2: The truth is Donald Trump, a year in, is failing. 22 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 2: The economy is collapsing, His voters are suffocating from his policies. 23 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 2: There are concentration camps open across the country, masked agents 24 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 2: in the streets, corruption like we are a banana republic 25 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 2: and the world's biggest jerk off is our leader. And 26 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 2: I don't say it lightly, and I don't say it proudly, 27 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:43,759 Speaker 2: nor do I. 28 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: Say it to be gratuitous. 29 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 2: What else should we call the man the man who 30 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 2: can't shut up, who can't stop talking, A fool's fool. 31 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 2: But as we come to the end of a wretched year, 32 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 2: on the eve of one that's even worse as the 33 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 2: consequence to start coming do for this, we should reflect 34 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 2: on what it is that Donald Trump said, because at 35 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 2: the heart of what he said is this, He's doing great, 36 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 2: He's just getting started, and soon there's going to be 37 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 2: a whole lot more. 38 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 4: I negotiated directly with the drug companies and foreign nations 39 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 4: to which were taken advantage of our country for many decades, 40 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 4: to slash prices on drugs and pharmaceuticals by as much 41 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 4: as four hundred, five hundred and even six hundred percent. 42 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 4: Eight hundred dollars for miners, we're bringing back clean, beautiful 43 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 4: coal is three thousand, three hundred dollars.

Much of this 52 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 4: success has been accomplished by tariffs, my favorite word, tariffs. 53 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 2: He cannot stop lying about the things that aren't real. 54 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: In addition to the things that are. 55 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 2: Eighteen trillion dollars has come in from the tariffs, not 56 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 2: all fantasy. And so when you see Americans Maga fans 57 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 2: chanting USA, USA, USA, When you watch Fox News for 58 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 2: five minutes and you see the flags waving and the 59 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 2: jingos speaking. 60 00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: Are we great? We're not. 61 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 2: We are a great nation in the process of committing 62 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 2: a national suicide, discarding the greatness achieved by our ancestors 63 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 2: in favor of a reality show host and his insanity 64 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 2: that is fed out a spoonful at a time, bread 65 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,559 Speaker 2: and circuses for all cage matches on the White House lawn. 66 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,799 Speaker 2: The American people elected this guy to be the president 67 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,679 Speaker 2: of the United States. Twenty twenty six is the last 68 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 2: chance election in America. The American people either put a 69 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 2: check on this or the American people will suffer at 70 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 2: a level that most of them cannot even begin to comprehend, 71 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 2: because they're fat and ignorant and lazy and slothful enough 72 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 2: so that they elected this. 73 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: And by the way, anybody on their high. 74 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 2: Horse who looks at the Trump voter and the result 75 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 2: through a prism of judgment should appreciate he had to 76 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 2: take power by beating somebody. The greatest failure in American 77 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 2: political history is the debacle that. 78 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: Put Trump back in power. 79 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 2: And a year later, less than a year in Donald 80 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 2: has transformed the country. He's knocked down the White House, 81 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 2: He's desecrated the Oval Office. He sent secret agents into 82 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 2: the streets to stomp on the skulls of human beings 83 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 2: with brown skin. He wrecked the economy, and he appointed 84 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 2: to the highest positions of the American government the greatest 85 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 2: collection of fools and imbeciles in American history. That's his record, 86 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 2: and it's going to get worse. The only question political, 87 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 2: one that really matters, is this, what candidates out there 88 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 2: are going to every day oppose it, all of it, 89 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 2: with everything they have, shouting from the rooftops, using their 90 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 2: bully pulpits, and using their power to stop its abuse 91 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 2: by the most unfit group of crack pots, demagogue, sexual predators, 92 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 2: heading criminals, and delusional sick offants ever come together for 93 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 2: a common purpose, and tragically it's a low one. 94 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: It's the veneration of Trump, their god. 95 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 2: Their leader, the man who thought it would be appropriate 96 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 2: to air his grievances and yell at the American people 97 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 2: about his achievements. But the American people see them clearly, 98 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 2: and his poll numbers are collapsing. He's running out of gas. 99 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 2: He's clearly sick, demented. Even yet the cheering on the 100 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 2: predator patio at mar Lago or at the White House 101 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 2: never stops, and he thinks that all he has to 102 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 2: do is keep on talking. Well, Donald, you keep on talking, 103 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 2: you campaign everywhere in the country. In fact, deliver the 104 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 2: same speech you did last night. Nothing is going to 105 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 2: save Donald from Donald. And in the end, that's what 106 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,679 Speaker 2: the American people have to reconcile. The vandal they gave 107 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 2: a matchbook in gasoline and rags too is out and 108 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 2: about lighting fires everywhere, and only the people who gave 109 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 2: them the matches can take it away. 110 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: And that is what we should start. 111 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 2: Thinking about at the beginning of twenty twenty six, because 112 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 2: as we end twenty twenty five, there is no going back. 113 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: There is no normal to reset to. 114 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 2: There is only the brokenness to be cleaned up and 115 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 2: new things to be imagined. And that's the work of 116 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 2: an opposition, at least a worthy one. 117 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: And this is the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt. This is 118 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: the warning. 119 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 2: I invite you to join this community where I promise 120 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 2: to be honest, blunt and direct about what is happening 121 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 2: in this country.
