This is the warning, and my warnings failed. Two years from now, the American people will get a chance to put a check on Donald Trump. But until then there
are no checks, at least not in Washington, DC. Yesterday, while North Korean and Russian troops massed for their largest assault on Ukraine, a European country, Donald Trump Junior U Day for the next four years, taunted the Ukrainian head of state, the spoiled, rotten child of the president elect of the United States, said We're going to cut off your allowance. There are hundreds of thousands of people dead, and the Russians have made clear they're not going to
stop in Ukraine. One of the consequences of the American people's decision will be war. Now. The American people were hustled by a con man, and by a significant majority, they bought in. They bought into the lives of a man who said he was a man of peace and that peace comes through strength. He was right about that, peace does come through strength. But Trump is a fool, and he's weak. And the world's dictators, whom he fetishizes and loves and praises, they laugh at him. They think
of him as a fool. The most easily manipulatable American president in American history. Our adversaries cannot compete with us economically, cannot compete with us technologically, cannot compete with us militarily. What they have relied on is our idiotized culture. What they have placed all of their bets on is the ransidity of the man the American people have made commander in chief. And the price will be very, very heavy. The Democrats have no power in Washington, DC. They can
stop nothing. They lost power because of cynicism, because they embraced a man who was unfit to run, whose ego was too big to turn away from power. And now we have Trump. Let's talk about the three issues. The first is world peace, and Donald Trump, a week in to being president elect, has set the path of the world inexorably towards war. Cutting off Ukraine will spread aggression in Europe. There's really not a lot of point in arguing about it. It will just happen. This will be
a brutal spring. We will forsake free people in Europe and they will suffer. What a moment of national shame for the United States. And the Chinese will be watching and soon when their invasion fleet is ready. Before the end of Trump's term, They'll move on Taiwan. The world will be read, the world will be remade. A new era has begun. Dana Bash had a question for the
ludicrously dishon as political extreme as Jim Jordan. All she wanted to know was, how are you going to deport fifteen million people from the continental borders of the United States of America. It's a fair.
Question, I want to understand. So people say, like, let's say one of these people is living in their apartment complex. Is the military going to come in, is it the local law enforcement? How is it actually physically going to work?
The Trump administration, the Department of Homeland Security will work with local law enforcement, and we'll focus on the people who one point three million have already been in front of a judge and said, no, you're not entitled to stay here, you have to be removed. There's an order there court of Wall. They've had their due process, they've had the whole process place.
So let's move on beyond that population non criminals, people who are in the country who are not legal citizens, those who have not committed crimes.
We're starting with the criminal but after that three, well, we'll start there and then go from that point.
This is what the American people voted for, and there is going to be a mass deportation. Trump promised. One fifteen million appears to be the number. This will be the most expensive logistical operation in American history. To put it into perspective, during World War Two, the army of the United States was sixteen million people. My question is how much will this cost? Where will the deportation camps be and how will these people be moved? Will it be by air, by tractor trailer? Will they be put
on rail cars? Great rail? And where is it that they are going? Clearly, Stephen Miller is the architect of this policy. Who will be the men that implemented it? Who are the top people that will likely preside over one of the greatest human rights abuses in American history?
Because I'm fifty four years old, actuaryly, at least I should live long enough to be around for the moment of apology when the United States looks back at this disgraceful moment, when the abominations have been completed, when we realize that this is a different version of the SS Saint Louis. When the American people consider what has been done in their name, they will feel shame and deservedly so. And what about the punishment and the retribution. X is
on fire with jubilant extremist young men. Your body, my choice is what the Nazi Nick Flintest tweet it out, threatening indiscriminate rape. Trump's supporters in this moment, starting with his son, are unbound and they're coming. The threats are real, the retribution they promise is real, and it's going to happen. There will be a chilling of free speech. There will be a crushing of descent. There will be calls made from the White House to pr firms into law firms,
saying fire that person or lose your contract. There will be enemies lists kept in the White House. I'm on one, A lot of my friends are on one. But I want you to know I will not bow to this man. I stand with Adam Kitzinger. I refuse to be afraid. Instead, I will dissent. I dissent against the surrender of a free people's chance for liberty because they're cut off by the United States government in the face of North Korean
and Russian aggression. I dissent over the political persecution, the coming imprisonments, tax audits, and other punishments of Americans who have constitutional rights to speak out, to speak up, and to condemn what Donald Trump is doing in their name. And I will dissent from what will be the largest and most significant abuse of human rights by the United States government, perhaps in its history, or at least since the Civil War. Fifteen million people part to be captured
zip Tide, put in perhaps and sent where. Who knows illegal immigration is a legitimate issue, and the border became chaotic, and then the Biden administration lied about it, along with the president's fitness, and the high price for that is what's about to happen. I've said many times on television and other places, there's no flower in all the world more delicate than the male ego. It's very true, and it's done tremendous damage to our country, and the damage
is just getting started. There is no way in Washington to stop Donald Trump with congressional votes. He can be slowed down, he can be delayed. But the simple truth is men like Chuck Schumer don't care about you or
your family. What they care about is their grip on power, and because they have a grip on power, it means some of the most incompetent communicators, some of the most incompetent political leaders, some of the most incompetent people are the people whose job it is to post Donald Trump, and they won't be able to do it because they're not up to the task and their foolishness ten years of it has led us to this disastrous moment. This era will pass, but it will not pass without damage.
The intrusions on our liberties and our rights, coarsening of our society, the institutionalization of cruelty, how commonplace it will be. All of it driven by the disordered man, the world class demagogue that a clear majority of the American people gave power to. They say, in a democracy, the voters are never wrong, but the people who say that are in fact the ones who are wrong. When the Iraq War began, more than seventy five percent of the American
people were all behind it. It didn't last long. Elections are a choice, and a lot of Americans didn't like what they saw from the Democratic Party, which has two years to get it shipped together and be in a position to take advantage of the first midterm election of Donald Trump's incumbency, which historically should be a disaster for him. Two years from now, Democrats must have a check on Donald Trump, and the only way they'll have one is
by taking back the House of Representatives. It means the abandonment of this woke insanity. It means the abandonment of the lecturing and the hectoring and the demands to say you are pronouns or else, because the American people have rejected it. And what's coming next is a tsunami of malice and idiocy, and it's going to land because the chance to stop it was at the election, and that failure is one of the most significant in American history and it will affect the destinies of free people all
around the earth. Donald Trump Junior is a soft handed, imbecile who has never worked an hour in his life. The spoiled and unaccomplished son of a bully is feeling his oats. The bully is quite clear he's coming for me and for everybody who dared to speak out and is extremism will kill a great many people who don't deserve to die. Like in Ukraine, this is a country in Europe, to modern country, and it was crushed by
the jackboot of a fascist invader. And Donald Trump looks at that, and he put America on the side of Russia and North Korea. The Democratic Party lacked the capacity to make an oppositional argument about him and against him. And now the bill is due, and it will be terrible. Face it, reckon with it, Appreciate it so that two years from now now we can stop some of it, We can deny advance an opportunity to approach the issues
that Donald Trump has not completed. With the discipline in the focus that Donald Trump lacks because of his mental illnesses. We have crossed the line now into a most dangerous era. It does not mean because an election has been lost that America has been lost, nor does it mean that those who rightly opposed this menace and this malice have lost their right to speak out, to speak up and to dissent. What Donald Trump is is a singular threat
and an existential threat. And now after this election, it's no longer theory. It will be lived experience, and it will be hard. It was unnecessary, but now it is here. Elections have consequences, and this one will have many more than most. This is the warning. Steve Schmidt, this is the warning, and I invite you to join.
