WEBVTT - Trump Blames DEI for Potomac River Plane Crash

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:05.760
<v Speaker 1>This is the warning. The Secretary of Transportation is a

0:00:05.800 --> 0:00:09.640
<v Speaker 1>real world cast member. Can you certainly wouldn't have been

0:00:09.680 --> 0:00:12.600
<v Speaker 1>able to tell from Reagan National Airport.

0:00:13.160 --> 0:00:17.640
<v Speaker 2>Obviously it is not standard to have aircraft colliding. I

0:00:17.680 --> 0:00:18.480
<v Speaker 2>want to be clear on that.

0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:23.439
<v Speaker 1>Now over at the White House, let's listen to a question,

0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:27.240
<v Speaker 1>and then I want to do an exercise. But first

0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 1>the question on DEI and the claims that you've made.

0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:33.720
<v Speaker 1>Are you saying this crash was somehow caused and the

0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:39.560
<v Speaker 1>result of diversity hiring. Yes, that's what he's saying. A

0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:44.400
<v Speaker 1>plane crashed in the Potomac River coming in for a landing.

0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:49.720
<v Speaker 1>An army helicopter, a Blackhawk, flew into it. You can

0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:54.880
<v Speaker 1>see the explosion. Sixty two people died, and Donald Trump

0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:59.440
<v Speaker 1>said they were killed by DEI. He didn't know anything,

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:04.600
<v Speaker 1>and he said it about any facts except for that

0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:09.200
<v Speaker 1>there was a tragedy, the first one involving an airplane

0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:12.839
<v Speaker 1>going down in the United States of America since two

0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:17.880
<v Speaker 1>thousand and nine in Buffalo. Now, why is it that

0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:23.640
<v Speaker 1>the national media, the White House Press Court, cannot comprehend

0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:28.600
<v Speaker 1>English words put together into sentences. Here's what I mean.

0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Cat yarn couch, the cat plays with yarn on the couch.

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Dog man ball man throws the ball for the dog.

0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:45.440
<v Speaker 1>You get what I'm trying to tell you. There's a

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:48.880
<v Speaker 1>cat playing with yarn on a couch, and there's a

0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 1>man throwing a ball for a dog. Do you need

0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:56.800
<v Speaker 1>any more information to comprehend what it is you're seeing?

0:01:57.200 --> 0:02:00.760
<v Speaker 1>Like the unseen White House Reporter, let's play it again

0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:03.520
<v Speaker 1>on DEI and the claims that you've made. Are you

0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:07.080
<v Speaker 1>saying this crash was somehow caused and the result of

0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:08.040
<v Speaker 1>diversity hiring?

0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:11.400
<v Speaker 2>And what evidence have you seen to support these things?

0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:16.480
<v Speaker 1>It just could have been, Yes, that is what he said,

0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:23.480
<v Speaker 1>knowing no facts, no details, Lives snuffed out in an instant,

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Families waiting a mile or so away at the airport

0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:32.160
<v Speaker 1>for their loved ones who are dead in an instant,

0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:36.960
<v Speaker 1>and Donald Trump was the first to say, Hey, I

0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:40.600
<v Speaker 1>know what happened, when in fact he had no idea

0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:45.200
<v Speaker 1>what happened. He is the man who claims to know

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:49.880
<v Speaker 1>all while knowing nothing at all. He claims to know

0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:54.560
<v Speaker 1>all things about everything, everywhere, all at once.

0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:57.520
<v Speaker 3>That's why I'm trying to figure out how you can

0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:00.520
<v Speaker 3>come to the conclusion right now, the diversity had something

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 3>to do.

0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:04.720
<v Speaker 2>With this crash because I have common sense, okay, and

0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:07.359
<v Speaker 2>unfortunately a lot of people don't.

0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:12.000
<v Speaker 1>How did you react when you heard the news about

0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:15.840
<v Speaker 1>an American Airlines flight going down coming in for landing

0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:19.400
<v Speaker 1>at Reagan National Airport? Did it make you feel sick?

0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:23.040
<v Speaker 1>Made me feel sick? Not Donald Trump do and not

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:26.760
<v Speaker 1>the White House staff. What they thought is, how can

0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:31.519
<v Speaker 1>we take advantage of this? There is burning wreckage on

0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:34.760
<v Speaker 1>the river, and Donald Trump is thinking, what can I

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:38.080
<v Speaker 1>get out of this? How can I use it? The

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 1>death and the misery and the suffering is a prop

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:46.480
<v Speaker 1>in my sick game. And so Donald Trump reacted with this.

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:52.160
<v Speaker 3>The FAA, which is overseen by Secretary Pete Buddhachek.

0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:55.200
<v Speaker 2>A real winner. That's the guy's a real winner. You

0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:55.880
<v Speaker 2>know badly.

0:03:55.960 --> 0:04:00.720
<v Speaker 3>Everything's run since he's run this Department of Transportation a disaster.

0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:04.800
<v Speaker 3>He was a disaster as a mayor. He ran his

0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 3>city into the ground, and he's a disaster now. He's

0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:11.440
<v Speaker 3>just got a good line of bullshit and this.

0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 2>You know, you're talking about extremely complex things. And if

0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.640
<v Speaker 2>they don't have a great brain, a great power of

0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:21.320
<v Speaker 2>the brain, then I got to be very good at

0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:23.000
<v Speaker 2>what they do, and bad things will happen.

0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.920
<v Speaker 1>What Donald Trump is saying is there was a black

0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:31.240
<v Speaker 1>guy somewhere around, or maybe worse, a black woman or

0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:36.640
<v Speaker 1>a hispanic even somebody, some minority. They did it. They

0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:42.040
<v Speaker 1>killed those people. We are in dangerous hours, my friends.

0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:46.800
<v Speaker 1>There is no issue, nothing that the man won't politicize

0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:50.360
<v Speaker 1>for a bit more power in that instant. When there

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:53.760
<v Speaker 1>is a plane crash, the situation room at the White

0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:59.640
<v Speaker 1>House fills, the Department of Transportation, experts and specialists get busy.

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:03.839
<v Speaker 1>But two weeks in, what Donald Trump has done is fire.

0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:08.200
<v Speaker 1>The head of the FAA talked about moving planes around

0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:11.800
<v Speaker 1>like a chessboard, said something completely wrong.

0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 2>This is a major chess game at the highest level.

0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:19.479
<v Speaker 2>When you have sixty planes coming in during a short

0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:22.239
<v Speaker 2>period of time in the role, coming in different directions.

0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:26.039
<v Speaker 1>That airplanes are taking off and landing in all different

0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.760
<v Speaker 1>contradictory directions. Not true at an airport take off and

0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:34.280
<v Speaker 1>land in the same direction. Basic information. But for Donald Trump,

0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:39.479
<v Speaker 1>even the most basic information, it's calculus. We, in our

0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.680
<v Speaker 1>infinite wisdom, on the edge of the two hundred and

0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:46.640
<v Speaker 1>fiftieth year of our independence, have elected to the office

0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:51.800
<v Speaker 1>of President of the United States, the foremost imbecile amongst us.

0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.800
<v Speaker 1>We have made him the most powerful man in the

0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:59.680
<v Speaker 1>world and given him its most powerful bully pulpit to

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:04.760
<v Speaker 1>spew his malice and to spew his venom and his idiocies,

0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:10.120
<v Speaker 1>and to cast blame and immunize all of his supporters

0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:14.880
<v Speaker 1>from a fundamental reality. More often than not, if they

0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:19.799
<v Speaker 1>experience failure in their lives, it's not your fault, it's theirs,

0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:25.479
<v Speaker 1>Or that when an accident happens, a tragedy occurs, that

0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 1>it's occurred because people in this country who didn't have

0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:35.120
<v Speaker 1>opportunities once have them now, and because they do, some

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:39.000
<v Speaker 1>white people are dead, even though Donald Trump has no

0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:42.040
<v Speaker 1>idea who was on that plane, and it shouldn't matter.

0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:46.040
<v Speaker 1>They were human beings and they were loved by their

0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:49.760
<v Speaker 1>mothers and fathers and husbands and wives and children, moms

0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:54.760
<v Speaker 1>and dads. In this disgusting grotesquery of a president from

0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:59.720
<v Speaker 1>the White House cannot restrain himself from lying about it

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:05.680
<v Speaker 1>for thirty seconds. Maga, it feels great to win, doesn't it.

0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:10.239
<v Speaker 1>Let's appreciate four years is going to feel like forty

0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:14.200
<v Speaker 1>at our current pace. And yet this must be resisted

0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:18.720
<v Speaker 1>and it must be opposed, and yet everywhere the sounds

0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:23.600
<v Speaker 1>of silence. CBS News about to be controlled by one

0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:26.560
<v Speaker 1>of the richest men in the world, Larry Ellison is

0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:29.760
<v Speaker 1>getting ready to serve up sixty minutes on a silver

0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 1>platter to Trump, along with many tens of millions of dollars.

0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:42.000
<v Speaker 1>As his administration now investigates NPR investigates PBS, Donald Trump

0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:47.120
<v Speaker 1>will brook no criticism and tolerate no dissent. He has

0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:50.800
<v Speaker 1>given his orders to snuff it out. The billionaires who

0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:55.720
<v Speaker 1>control the information we all receive have complied. Mostly the

0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:59.800
<v Speaker 1>news anchors have gotten in line. In what you're told

0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:05.640
<v Speaker 1>is that the dumbest questions conceivably formulated shot to a

0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:10.880
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven year old on Conflict TV or somehow a

0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:14.880
<v Speaker 1>journalism that matters to you keeps you safe and that

0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:18.120
<v Speaker 1>you should care about. What you should care about is

0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:20.800
<v Speaker 1>when an airplane any one of us could have been

0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:24.400
<v Speaker 1>on on any given day went down. President of the

0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:27.760
<v Speaker 1>United States. Instinct wasn't two I don't want that to

0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.880
<v Speaker 1>ever happen again during my term. No, it was how

0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:33.960
<v Speaker 1>am I going to use it against the American people?

0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:36.160
<v Speaker 1>How am I going to use it to point a

0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:40.480
<v Speaker 1>finger and say that somewhere there's a minority to blame.

0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:43.760
<v Speaker 1>That's what he did. And if that's what making America

0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:47.800
<v Speaker 1>great again means, then make America great again is what

0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:51.520
<v Speaker 1>it has always been, just a bit more clearly now

0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:55.120
<v Speaker 1>a lie. And each day the lie will become clearer.

0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Support for that lie will drop. The great tragedy right

0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:02.040
<v Speaker 1>now isn't the lie, and it's not the lying. It's

0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:07.160
<v Speaker 1>that when the inevitable happens and this mag of filth crashes,

0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:11.640
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing better waiting to replace it. Where are you, Chuck,

0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:15.640
<v Speaker 1>going to work today, going to offer any resistance because

0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:18.640
<v Speaker 1>none of us can hear you. None of us can

0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:24.440
<v Speaker 1>hear any of you. This is the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt.

0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:26.840
