1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: It is Tuesday, March twenty fifth. Yesterday, the executive editor

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:10,399
Speaker 1: of The Atlantic magazine, Jeffrey Goldberg, published what I think

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: is the most astonishing news story I've ever read in

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: my life. This is the warning. Now. There's a lot

5
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: of hyperpole in the Trump era, and the truth is, occasionally,

6
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: maybe I've been even guilty of it myself. I've used

7
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: superfluous words to try to denote urgency, to try to

8
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: highlight something that was unusual, something that was spectacular with

9
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 1: regard to its malice or incompetence. I've warned. The name

10
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: of the platform is the warning after all, time and

11
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: time and time again about the dangers that would manifest

12
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: if Donald Trump's team of incompetent and filled with incompetence

13
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: that is beyond measurement was ever given power over life

14
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: and death matters. It's one thing to appreciate that Donald

15
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: Trump has the same exact approach in the management of

16
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: the government of the world's most powerful nation as he

17
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: did to managing the Apprentice contestants. It's astonishing to realize

18
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: intellectually there's no difference between Little Marco and Alma Rosa.

19
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: There's no difference between Pete Hegseeth and Little John or Meatloaf.

20
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: All of these people, whether it's Tulsea Gabbard or Gary Busey,

21
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: are the same, unfit, non functioning when it comes to

22
00:01:54,280 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: Trump's cabinet, his National Security Cabinet, Mr in the emails

23
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: Marco Rubio, it is interesting when the email trails go up,

24
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: the person that has the final word is ober Steubenfier

25
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: or Miller himself. He sm Stephen Miller. He puts down

26
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: the final word, we will bomb the hooties. The Secretary

27
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: of Defense, Secretary of State, director of National Intelligence. Each one,

28
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: a feathered lightweight, gets in line on the orders of

29
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: a political staffer who shuts down the debate, in de

30
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: facto orders the bombing. Now let's step back for a second,

31
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: because the first thing to note is the juvenile nature

32
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: of the interaction between Pete Hegseth and mar Little Marco,

33
00:02:53,960 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: our national puta. All of these people, their bloodlust, their jingism,

34
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:09,559
Speaker 1: the emojis. It is a cartoon come to life, America. Yeah,

35
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: we just bombed the hooties. The email chains or a

36
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: moral disgrace. Pete Hegseth a drunk, clearly somebody who was

37
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: broken by his service in the Middle East. Someone dealing

38
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: with post traumatic stress, whose personal life is a mess,

39
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: who could not function at Fox News, was given the

40
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: keys to the most powerful military on Earth. The Senate

41
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: Democrats did not vote for him, but Chuck Schumer had

42
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: no strategy to oppose, to stop, to delay the seating

43
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: of any of these people into Senate confirmed positions. Not

44
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: Tulci Gabbert, not Pete Hegseth, not Marco Rubio, none of them.

45
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: And so there they are on a sign group chat

46
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: being observed and surveilled by Chinese and Russian intelligence, attacking

47
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: our allies, planning to extort them England and France, Germany,

48
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: disparaging our eighty year old military alliances, disparaging the countries

49
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: that buried their sons and daughters when America was attacked

50
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: on September eleventh of two thousand and one. We see

51
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: on the email trails the deliberative process discussion between imbeciles

52
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: and lightweights. There are no words for those of you

53
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: who don't understand. The White House uses the Signals Office

54
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: run by the US military, by the Army, and that's

55
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: how senior officials are supposed to communicate with one another.

56
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: Of course, The back and forth about who did was

57
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: to who is very tedious at this point, but it

58
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: deserves me mentioning that each of these clowns has filled

59
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: years worth of words in a normal person's life denouncing

60
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: the Hillary Clinton email server. There's no breach, ever, that

61
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: matches this epic instance of carelessness, recklessness, incompetence, and just

62
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: plain fucking idiocy that Beggar's description. Each one of these

63
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: asses is so inattentive to detail that none of them

64
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: noticed the presence of well, somebody who wasn't one of

65
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: the senior most officials in the US government, who happened

66
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: to be the executive editor for the Atlantic magazine, who

67
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: when he started getting the emails, had the exact same

68
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: reaction I had when I read his story. He didn't

69
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: believe it was real, and I thought his story was

70
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: fake somebody he had concocted an Atlantic headline. But Jeffrey

71
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: Goldberg knew it wasn't fake when the bombs started falling

72
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: at the exact instant they were supposed to, according to

73
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: the text chain that he had been sent that talked

74
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: about the type of weapons, that talked about the order

75
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: of the use of the weapons, that talked about the

76
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: entire classified sequence of attack. There's no email, not one

77
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: that talks about any concern whatsoever by any of the

78
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: senior leaders of the Trump administration about casualties, about the

79
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: lives of the young Americans being sent into harm's way.

80
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: They are nothing but props. They are pieces toys, led

81
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: soldiers on a board for the Fox News rejects to

82
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: move around. Even after the White House acknowledged it was

83
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: all real, Pete Hagsaith continued to lie about it. This

84
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: is the sign that hangs over the United States Marine

85
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: Corps officer candidate school entrance. It says ductost examples, which

86
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: means lead by example. What a sick joke all of

87
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: this is? And now what can we look forward to today?

88
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: Being berated by government spokespeople who work for us, being

89
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: told to shut up, to sit down, to be quiet,

90
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: to not be outraged, to do as we're told. That

91
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: Trump is great and that this was all an act

92
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: of genius. All of the sick offhants will be out CNN,

93
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: no dabt will turn to Scott Jennings, who will tell

94
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: us none of it even happened. Donald Trump has assembled

95
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: a clown car of imbeciles, idiots. I don't use these

96
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: words to call names, but rather because in English the

97
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: language affords us these words to describe the actions of

98
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: Marcarubio and Pete Hegseth in the National Security Advisor Mike Waltz.

99
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: These words are overused in everyday life, but they are

100
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: appropriate in this instant beyond doubt, one of the greatest,

101
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: if not the greatest. I am unable to think of

102
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: a single example in the twentieth or twenty first century

103
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: that approaches it. The mix of carelessness, recklessness in difference

104
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: to the lives of the young Americans going into combat,

105
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: the utter immorality of reaction after taking human lives disgusting.

106
00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: The sick tyrant in the White House threatens Canada, surrounds

107
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: himself with clowns, has shaken social security to its core,

108
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: and soon the checks will stop. The economy now stands

109
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: at fifty percent of recession. Decades of forward progress on

110
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: cancer research have been shut off. The teams that stand

111
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: at a hair trigger ready should there ever be a

112
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 1: rogue nuclear weapon, We're fired everywhere. Chaos, damage and lies.

113
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: Government of the people, by the people, for the people,

114
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: snatching citizens off of streets, sending them to Al Salvador

115
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: and then oopsie doopsy. We had to do it, no

116
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: due process. We can't do it anymore because of Biden,

117
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: the sickness, the rot that led this country to electing

118
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: with forty nine point nine percent of the vote, a

119
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: malignant narcissist, an insurrectionist, a scumbag without peer, a failed businessman,

120
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: a reality show poser, a lazy and corrupt people who

121
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: inherited the most powerful, wealthiest nation on earth. Did this.

122
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: The American people did this. Democratic Party did this. It

123
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: is an awful moment. It is a tragic one. What

124
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: will the consequences be? Or should everyone just get a

125
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: promotion and a good job and maybe a presidential Medal

126
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: of Freedom and maybe a song from the January sixth

127
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: choir That would be nice. Trump could lead the choir

128
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: to praise all of his geniuses, Pete Hegseth orc Upia,

129
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: Tulsea Gabbert, Mike Walls, Stephen Miller, Trump's Department of War.

130
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: It looks like a pack of clowns, though piled in

131
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: a yougo, and we're all in danger because of it.

132
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: Yes is the warning, and I'm Steve Schmidt. This is
