@@djrychlak4443 I don't know about that. The fact that many republicans have worked on and for past republican campaigns has little to do with Chumpism in my view. Now it may have effects in terms of gerrymandering, voter suppression, and other tactics and strategies but Chump is not a republican and has no traditional republican goals, ideas, or platforms. For that matter neither do any of the elected republican senators or congressmen. There really is no republican party anymore, even though Chump and the elected republicans give lip service to it. Chump is not a natural progression of the republican party in any way. Chump is an opportunist and a master liar and conman, who happened to be in the right place at the right time to take full advantage of weak and corrupt republican party with a collection of opportunists and liars just like himself. McConnell, Graham, Cruz, and so many more are liars, grifters, power mad opportunists, corrupt, etc ... just like Chump. And history allowed them to take advantage of a major rift in the democratic party in 2016 between Clinton and Sanders. Thus as Schmidt has said before it was a "fluke" that Chump managed to squeak out the election win. It seems very very very unlikely for such to happen again in 2020.

I am not a Republican but I’ve always respected Steve Schmidt and his commentary, he knows for what he talks about, therefore he smart enough to know right from wrong and that Joe Biden is best for this country!
Yes the music is VERY annoying. It would serve your program well to remove it entirely. It's the language that is important. The questions and the answers are what matters Katie.
I wish Steve would get on Fox News interviews. He gives such a logical and precise accounting of the Trump presidency and more republicans need to hear his words. I love the Lincoln Project as well.
@K Brennan He's doing medical experiments on girls and women in concentration camps??? You're an idiot. I'm a Democrat, but rhetoric like this will help nothing.
@Rocky Barnes Lol, we'll let you take care of all those unborn black children. And it's not funded by democrats. Another misconception. The bottom line is, if YOU don't believe in abortion, then DON'T HAVE ONE. Simple as that, really.
What a great interview. It's always awesome with Katie Couric & Steve Schmidt is one of my favs..He's so right on and direct to the point 👏..Thanks for this .
Funny to read your comment! I thought the same thing. (OR maybe some Black Sabbathy "Impending Doom" guitar work would be better suited to the "Gravity" of the "Concern". Any thoughts?)
I always write a comment before seeing what others have to say and I am glad to see that other's agree - the music sucks, any music would in this case! This man is brilliant in his own words he does not need noise to accompany him!
Steve Schmidt is one of the most talented commentator in the US and I love listening to what he has to say always, but good grief I’m turning it off as the bed music you’re using is so off putting...I know we should be able to multitask but I rather concentrate on what he has to say...
I love me some Steve Schmidt, he is so thoughtful and well spoken, ironic that no thought was given to how annoying the background music is. I thought I had a another video going in another tab.
For a new program, you definitely have started with no holds barred. I agree with other comments, the background music mix is distracting and unnecessary. Good show.
Stop already please with the complaining about the music. Focus people don't be so easily distracted. I don't even realize the music in the background except everybody keeps complaining about.
Steve..we love you and what your doing..thank you for speaking the truth for those who know what it is..people have to wake up it's frightening to watch the compliance
Katie Couric, (I think)YOU ROCK! Such conversations with Steve Schmidt are Graceful, Honest, and Authentic. A mature invitation "to consider", they provide a corroboration and verification that I CAN TRUST as a discernment of reality. Humbly Grateful, Ted Furlo
Please cut the "music? (noise) out. What's the purpose? It's distracting and senseless. Damn, I can't even finish listening to this and I love Steve Schmidt.
Steve glad your mnd is open to honesty and what is best for America and making a decision to choose a different course for yourself Thank you for having a moral compass Larry Segall LCSW here in CT
Just now listening, 12-27-20, and even so, at the end, where Steve said it was 'all on the line' I am so thankful we were able to refute Trump and confident we can refute Trumpism as well.
I'm 2 minutes in, I'm going to have to leave, because, while this loud music (supposedly played UNDER) might be fine, in and of itself, but HERE it's so intrusive that I can't hear the humans... too bad; I like Steve & Katie.
Background music is awful! Steve Schmidt is more interesting that any tune right now. Thank you for this interview, love Steve and love the Lincoln Project.
I've followed Schmidt for quite a while. He is a leading spokesman-highly articulate, with patriot roots and a profound understanding of history. But his thoughts today-in the latter stages of this campaign, frighten me. I think they merit sending to any voter who wavers on Trump on questions like the economy, for example, and to every eligible voter so disengaged, uninformed or lazy to vote. His words on the future of the nation are truly that important.
Lynn Pearson Normally I would agree, but what Schmidt says is so important-I barely noticed. I've followed this man for quite a while, but his thoughts in the latter stages of the campaign merit sending this video to any voter who is wavering on Trump on questions of the economy, for example, and to anyone disengaged, uninformed or just too lazy to vote. His words on the future of the nation are that important ...
Steve is so eloquent in his analogy. I to love to listen to him speak. Thanks for being brave and saying what a lot of people think!!! Trump has got to go for the sake of the country!!!
Hi Katie. I hope your family are well. I love every word that comes out of Steve Schmidt’s mouth and respect every Republican willing to vote for the country, not the party. We are scared for you folks and hope that November 3rd will be a new beginning for the USA. I personally know many Republicans that I hold dear and was totally gutted when they voted for the Trumpanzee. Got a call from MI the other day. I was delighted that they are voting for Joe. Sending warm hugs to all. 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸
Excellent presentation! One of the best summaries of past, present, and future by Steve. I've only ever heard him in short clips on MSNBC, but his speaking skills, (mind & heart) are impressive. Good questions and supportive videos!
Katie, I cannot thank you enough for shinning a light onto truth during this vital and important time for our Democracy. Please, do more of this. It is sorely needed. I have tremendous respect for Steve Schmidt. I appreciate his stance on illuminating truth and uncovering deception. You will do well to eliminate the music. It is distracting to the content of the message being put forth. I am eighty years old and this is my first time voting in an election. I voted for Joe Biden.
Man, I haven't seen Katie Couric since she was on the Today show. This just randomly came up on my feed since I have been watching videos from The Lincoln Project, who are fantastic - if you have not seen their content, absolutely make sure to check them out. Was good to see her again!
The background music is unbearable. What's the purpose? Are you testing us to be sure we're really motivated to listen? I was motivated by Steve Schmidt but couldn't make it to the end.
Well stated and informative. Steve Schmidt is on the ball. The foolish Republicans who have sold their souls to Trump have lost a fine mind in this time of need. Thank you Steve! Katie Couric has done a fine job to bring clarity to the fore.

This guy is one of the most well spoken people on tv. He breaks it down better than anyone I know and I love to listen to him.
He is a good speaker. But his duty to the republican party over the past several decades brought us trump and the obedient gop that we 'enjoy' today.
@@djrychlak4443 Yes, I am sure he realizes that and is doing everything he can to make up for that fact. Lots of respect for this man.

Thank you Steve Schmidt and the Lincoln Project

Steve Schmidt is one of the most eloquent spokesman I've ever heard. his is speeches are so effective . Trump is gonna get a Shellacking.
From your lips to God's ears as the saying goes.
@jack brandt why on earth would you want orange Donald to win. Listen to uncle Steve and engage your brain ffs
Starts with our votes! th-cam.com/video/4lUO9s9t4Vw/w-d-xo.html
Dave Murdoch jack is just another troll looking for attention. Ignore it.
what's with the background music? please stop it
It definitely makes it hard to focus on what he’s saying.
Amen! I want to listen to this but it's driving me nuts.
Katie must have bought the CD at a Spa re-treat and has not been able to figure out WHERE to use it till NOW!! For the love of GOD, stop the crap.
@Kay Marie *
I hopped on to see if it was just me. The background is distracting & unnecessary.
I like the content, but ditch the music.
Yes, please!
Why the annoying music playing for the whole interview?? Turn it off & let us just hear the man speak!! So exploitative jesus.
That background music is so annoying. Don’t know if I can watch this.
Yes the music is VERY annoying. It would serve your program well to remove it entirely. It's the language that is important. The questions and the answers are what matters Katie.
I quit 5 minutes in, it made watching uncomfortable.
Love this and always appreciate the way you bring the news to us, but the background music has to go.
agree, annoying

What a great interview. It's always awesome with Katie Couric & Steve Schmidt is one of my favs..He's so right on and direct to the point 👏..Thanks for this .
I love listening to Steve Schmidt, but that background MUSIC NEEDS TO GO! ANNOYING!
Funny to read your comment! I thought the same thing. (OR maybe some Black Sabbathy "Impending Doom" guitar work would be better suited to the "Gravity" of the "Concern". Any thoughts?)
Agreed. What is it there for? It adds nothing.

It's annoying as hell.

Can't stand that bothersome music, not necessary 😤
This was such a great interview, discussion. I learned so much more thank you both.
IKR? It's driving me OUT of my mind!
What is that, a xylophone?

She bought the CD at a Spa retreat and has NOT been to find ANY use for it till this interview!!
what's with the bed music being too loud?..it distracting and annoying.
She bought the CD at a Spa retreat and has NOT been to find ANY use for it till this interview!!
Kill the distracting music.
Please stop the ridiculous yoga / massage music.. not needed. We can't hear the folks speaking and it even gets louder and louder
She bought the CD at a Spa retreat and had NOT been able to find ANY use for it till this interview!!
ditto. cut the music.
The music is distracting. Terrible for the hearing impaired.
I think that music made my hearing impaired
Amen. It makes it impossible to listen to this excellent man.
Kay, I have excellent hearing and it is distracting for me. Hope they get the message...
Very important series- please don't diminish the message by banal background music.
Agreed 👍
LOVE STEVE SCHMIDT!
Dump the music. Let the man be heard.
I wish news clips would stop showing DT...can’t stand looking at him.
Hello how are you doing today 💝
For a new program, you definitely have started with no holds barred.
I agree with other comments, the background music mix is distracting and unnecessary.
Good show.
Steve Schmidt and the seriousness of democracy deserved better than that horrendous music. There was no need for ANY music!
Stop already please with the complaining about the music. Focus people don't be so easily distracted. I don't even realize the music in the background except everybody keeps complaining about.
Steve, as usual, articulate and spot on. Katie, great questions!
Why’s up with the background music it’s so annoying, can’t concentrate on what Mr. Schmidt is saying!
Please make it stop!!!!
Hello how are you doing today 💝
I love Steve Schmidts house !!! And what a fantastic guy
Steve, you always get my blood to boil...we CANNOT let him back in the great white house again.
Steve..we love you and what your doing..thank you for speaking the truth for those who know what it is..people have to wake up it's frightening to watch the compliance
Thank you, Steve, for being a true Republican. Thank you, Katie, for your years of journalistic excellence.
I'd love to listen to this, but the music is driving me away.. plz strip it...

Shame on you Katie for blurring these important words with insane music!
Steve Schmidt is a great Patriotic American
I really enjoyed this. Love the brilliant Steve Schmidt and Katie looks fantastic and is right on form. 👏👏👏
Steve schmidt is one of the smartest dudes out here and he unfold Trump like a beach chair if that makes any sense 🤣

Hey Steve schmidt, he not retiring, he's going to jail!
I'd love to agree, but if you follow Schmidt's logic to its conclusion, I think there is nothing in this world less sure.
He's saying the truth.
as if someone has hacked this clip and put the music over it. so distracting.
This guy is 100% right on everything he said.
Great interview but agree with the other comments, the music needs to be removed from the video.

OH MY GOD STOP THE MUSIC!!!!!!
Steve is so very correct. May God help us.
Sorry. I had to leave the site as the background music was very annoying. Lost that and I will return.
We need to investigate and prosecute Trump so severely that he flees to Russia, turkey or Saudi Arabia.
This interview should be on mainstream tv to allow people to see and hear what truth sounds like, it could save our country!
Bailed after a minute forty, you can guess why, the music is disruptive, like a kid with a xylophone
Steve Schmidt for President!!
I’ll come back and watch the video after you delete the music.
💯 Agree with you, Steve Schmidt 👏👏👏
Is there a way to silence the marimba? Very distracting
Steve is so eloquent in his analogy. I to love to listen to him speak. Thanks for being brave and saying what a lot of people think!!! Trump has got to go for the sake of the country!!!
Love listening to Steve. He breaks it down, tells it like it is, and doesn’t mince words.
You are interviewing the best speaker in the country, and we can't hear him for the darn cymbal!?
Wow!! Katie asked the right questions and gave Steve the chance to speak his mind.. and boy is it timely and on target!!
Oh please stop the weird music!

Katie, everybody's complaining about the background music. I just got two words for you my friend; TONY IOMMI.
Steve Schmidt for Attorney General 2021
I too was bothered by the Music. I love Steve Schmidt, he puts words out that are in my head. He should run for President and form a new party.
I really like this guy, he is incredibly erudite and he really explains Trumpism
Biden is pulling ahead of trump in Florida. I hope he pulls it off.
