1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: This is the warning good news in North America. The

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: Canadian people have spoken and they have rebuked Donald Trump.

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: They have sent him a message, and the message is

4
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: hands off Canada. The Canadian people have rejected the stupidity,

5
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: the venality, and the nastiness of Maga populism, and they

6
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: have elected a most serious man to be Prime minister.

7
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: There is now, with a powerful mandate, one leader in

8
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: the English speaking world who understands that Donald Trump is

9
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: to be dealt.

10
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 2: With with strength.

11
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: Now, Prime Minister Mark Carney has a lot of work

12
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: ahead to keep his nation united and to stave off

13
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: the MAGA threat. But every American who loves freedom, who

14
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: loves their country, should understand that in this debate, representing

15
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: the American side of the debate is Theadian Prime Minister,

16
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: who believes in justice, who believes in freedom, who believes

17
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: in liberty, who believes in.

18
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 2: The rule of law.

19
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: Now, when we think about Canada, we must recall that

20
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: there were moments in American history, long seasons of grave injustice.

21
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: America was a nation where slavery was tolerated until a

22
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: war destroyed it, and there was a faction of Americans

23
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: that would rather destroy the Union than to destroy chattel slavery,

24
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: and that war cost eight hundred thousand American lives. Now,

25
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: on a house an escaping slave heading north to freedom

26
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: in Canada, they would look for the markings on a

27
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: house that signified it as a stop on the underground railroad.

28
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: This is a picture of a house that's the last

29
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: stop in the state of New Hampshire on the way

30
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: to freedom. Canada has been a place where Americans have

31
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: looked to freedom many times before when it was lacking

32
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: in the United States and in North America. Today there

33
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: is only one country where there is no chance that

34
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: a teenager crossing a border will be chained up and

35
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: put in jail. In North America, there are only two

36
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: countries where it is safe to cross an international border

37
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: if you're a backpacking teenager, Mexico and Canada. Though there

38
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: are problems. In Mexico, there is no gestapo, but in

39
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: America there is. And we saw it play out yesterday

40
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: in the Capital Dome when one of the United States

41
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: foremost advocates for justice and somebody who fights poverty, a

42
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: moral man, Bishop William Barber, who is my friend and

43
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: I was pleased to have on the warning last week

44
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: dared to pray in the Capitol. Bishop Barber was arrested.

45
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: He was arrested along with Jonathan Wilson Hartrove. Reverend Hartgrove

46
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: was arrested. They were not alone. Bishop Barber suffers from

47
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: a physical infirmity, and that disability meant his arrest wasn't

48
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: just an inconvenience, but it manifested physical pain. Bishop William

49
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 1: Barber is a man of conviction, a man of towering strength,

50
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: who went into the place that was built by slaves,

51
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: under the rotunda that was ordered constructed during Civil War

52
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: by Abraham Lincoln, to send a signal that when the

53
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: war was won, that the Congress would recongregate and the

54
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: Union Indivisible would endure. It is under that dome where

55
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: Trump's insurrectionists defiled the United States Capital, defiled the citadel

56
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: of democracy. They defecated on the floors, they urinated on

57
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: the walls, They smashed windows, They assaulted police officers, they

58
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: bludgeoned them. This was not a peaceful protest, and Donald

59
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: Trump did not win the twenty twenty election. We live

60
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: in a blaze of lies straight out of nineteen eighty four.

61
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: In the end of that book, Winston the protagonist is

62
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: being tortured by O'Brien. The party apparatic, and O'Brien holds

63
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: up four fingers and asks Winston, how many do you see?

64
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: And Winston says, I see only four, And O'Brien makes

65
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: clear that the right answer to how many fingers he

66
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: sees is not seen with his eyes. It's what he's

67
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: told by the party. That's what matters. That's what the

68
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: truth is. And that is not just hideous, it is

69
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: not just immoral. It is dangerous. So in this place

70
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: where the Maga lies rooted deeply, in this place where

71
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: Americans have fall and died to preserve and marched to

72
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: put their lives on the line, a good man, a

73
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: moral man, went to pray for his country. Mike Johnson,

74
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: the Speaker of the House, calls himself a Christian, but

75
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: he's no such thing. What he is is a Christian nationalist,

76
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: and Christian nationalists are fascists. What Mike Johnson believes in

77
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: is power, not Christ.

78
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 2: And you know that is.

79
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: True because Speaker Johnson is responsible for this travesty, for

80
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: this desecration. Now Bishop Barber is not persuaded. Bishop Barber

81
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: will be returning to the United States Capital, and each

82
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: moral Monday there will be more and more people with

83
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: Bishop Barber who go to the Capital.

84
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 2: To bow their head in prayer.

85
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: And so understand, this war on Christianity that Donald Trump

86
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: talks about is no such thing. What Donald Trump wants

87
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: is the power to persecute people in the name of

88
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: defending Christian nationalists who say, I am the Word of God,

89
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: and God's power is my political power. And this is

90
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: an evil of profound dimensions. When men claim the power

91
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,679
Speaker 1: of God to control the lives of others, for all

92
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: of recorded history, it has only ever ended in utter catastrophe.

93
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: So when we look at this day, April twenty nine,

94
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: we stand fifty years on tomorrow from the anniversary of

95
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: the end of the Vietnam War. We stand eighty years

96
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: on tomorrow from the death of Adolph Hitler. But on

97
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: the eve of these momentous celebrations, on the eve of

98
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: these momentous anniversaries, let us appreciate the duality the darkening

99
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: skies in the United States and the long night ahead

100
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: before the dawn inevitably breaks and justice and light again

101
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: cascades over our country. Until then, there is a great

102
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: contestation underway. Two hour North. The Canadian people and their

103
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: fearless new prime minister will lead the way. They are

104
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: the people that told Trump know first, and they did

105
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: it decisively.

106
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 2: They did it on their feet.

107
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: They did it elbows out, not on their knees, not

108
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: on their bellies. Mark Carney is no Chuck Schumer, and

109
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: Mark Carney winning that election means, for the first time

110
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: in a long time, people who understand we have to

111
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: hold the line and stand.

112
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 2: Tall have a champion. And today I'm proud to wear

113
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 2: a maple leaf on.

114
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: My shirt in honor of Canada, our friend and our ally.

115
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: Donald Trump says he runs America, and Donald Trump says

116
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: he runs the world. Donald Trump is a world class

117
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: buffoon and laughingstock is the president of the United States.

118
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: He is king of nothing, an emperor of nothing. He

119
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: is a fool who proves the old Turkish proverb true

120
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: that when a clown goes to a castle, he does

121
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: not become a king. The castle becomes a circus. And

122
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: yesterday the United States Capital became a part of Trump's disgusting, tawdry,

123
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: immoral circus.

124
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 2: This is the warning I'm Steve Schmidt.

125
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: This is the warning I invite you to join this

126
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: community where I promise to be honest, blunt, and direct

127
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,479
Speaker 1: about what is happening in this country. America is in crisis.
