1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 1: It is Thursday, August twenty first, this is the warning. Yesterday, 2 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 1: three fascists walked into Union Station in Washington, d C. 3 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 1: For a bit of performance theater. They were, respectively, the 4 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: man who's a heart beat away jd Vance, a weirdo 5 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: without competition in this administration, the Defense Minister, the incompetent 6 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: Pete Hegseth, who is tailed everywhere around the Pentagon by 7 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 1: his third wife Jenny, and the chief little likeman Stephen Miller. 8 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 1: And Stephen Miller decided to give a speech filled with rage, bluster, 9 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:43,200 Speaker 1: and partisan invective in front of the smirking Defense Secretary 10 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 1: and in front of the odd Vice President, emasculating them both. 11 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,919 Speaker 2: They have no families, they're raising the city. They have 12 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 2: no one that they're sending to school in the city, 13 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 2: they have no jobs in the city, they have no 14 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 2: connections to this community at all. But they're the ones 15 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 2: who've been advocating for the one percent, the criminals, the killers, 16 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 2: the rapists, the drug dealers. And I'm glad they're here 17 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 2: today because me, Pete and the Vice President all going 18 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 2: to leave here and inspired by them, we're gonna add 19 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 2: thousands more resources to this city, to get the criminals 20 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 2: and the gang members out of here. We're going to 21 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 2: disamandle those networks, and we're going to prove that a 22 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 2: city can serve for the law abiding citizens who live there. 23 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,040 Speaker 2: We are not gonna let the communists destroy a great 24 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 2: American city, let alone the nation's capital. 25 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: Here's the thing in this fascist regime. Don't be confused 26 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: by the hierarchy. When jdve Hans and Pete Hagsaff walk 27 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: into a room with Steven Miller, Stephen Miller is the boss. 28 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: And so it made sense that the person who would 29 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,559 Speaker 1: titillate Trump, who would rub his belly, rub that orange 30 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: into his scalp, would be his Ryan Hard Hydra, the 31 00:01:54,360 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: architect of the burgeoning concentration camp archipelago that stretches from 32 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: coast to coast and has names like Alligator Alcatraz. And 33 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: there's a new one in Nebraska and a new one 34 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: in Indiana. And in these places, children sleep on concrete, 35 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: human beings drink out of toilet bowls, and the philosophy 36 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 1: of cruelty that is antithetical to American values spills out 37 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: in the hidden corners. There are beatings, and there are abuses, 38 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: and there are degradations of human rights on American soil, 39 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: and it is disgusting. Donald Trump has put the city 40 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: of Washington, DC under a military occupation, not to fight crime, 41 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: but to impose power. His ice mass men have run 42 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: around this country and seventy one percent of the people 43 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: they have tackled, did they have chained, did they have beaten, 44 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: and they have abused, have no criminal record at all. 45 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: Their gardeners, their maids, and their door dash drivers. And 46 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: they have been labeled the enemy within by a man 47 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: and his henchmen who incited an enemy within to rise 48 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: up and attack the capital of the United States after 49 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: Trump lost an election decisively. They killed police officers and 50 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: they beat them, including with an American flag. And now 51 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: these despicable fascists dare to give a lecture about law 52 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:35,119 Speaker 1: and order. 53 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 3: Your Union season. 54 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 4: See, well, if you've ever been to Union Station in 55 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 4: the last few years with your family, you know the 56 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 4: crime is actually extremely high. 57 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: Right here in Union Station. 58 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 4: You have vagrants, you have drug addicts, you have the 59 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 4: chronically homeless, you have the mentally ill, who harassed, who 60 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 4: threatened violence, who attack families, and they've done it for 61 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 4: far too long. This should be a monument to American greatness. 62 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 4: This should be a place where you can come and 63 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 4: share a meal or go shopping with your family. It 64 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 4: should not be a place where parents of small children 65 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 4: are afraid to bring them because, to Stevens point, we 66 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,479 Speaker 4: have empowered criminals over the people who actually need public. 67 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 1: Safety in the city. 68 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 5: So I think Union Station is a great example of 69 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 5: what's possible when you actually have the political will power 70 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 5: to bring law and order and common decency back to 71 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 5: the public stations of the United States of America. 72 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 1: And while trying to steal the votes of millions of 73 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: black Americans, taking away their vote with Jim Crow style jerrymandering. 74 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 6: But one of the things that you see in a 75 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 6: lot of red states is blue states have really aggressively jerrymander. 76 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 6: It's such that they've actually made it harder for the 77 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 6: majority of the state of Indiana to have their voice 78 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 6: heard in their federal elections. Because if California has crazy 79 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 6: jerry manders, Illinois has crazy jerry manders, New York has 80 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 6: crazy jerry manders. What it does is it actually suppresses 81 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 6: the will of the people in states like Indiana. 82 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: They claim to be their protectors, they claim to be 83 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: good stewards. They claim that if you just give up 84 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: all of your liberty, you can have all of their security. 85 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: Benjamin Franklin, who knew a thing or two about the subject, 86 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: had advice that should linger through the ages to this day, 87 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: is that people willing to trade liberty for security deserve neither. 88 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 1: When you see Pete Hegseth, a uniform military personnel there 89 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: smirking unprofessionally during a raging partisan. 90 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 3: Speech, this is the guy who makes people order in 91 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 3: their own community. 92 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: What it means is the military, the armed forces of 93 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: the United States are at the edge of their affection 94 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 1: with the American people. Soon the alienation will begin. The 95 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: people will not maintain the affection for occupiers, for masked men, 96 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: for camo clad men with long rifles, assault weapons, military rifles. 97 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: Pointed out the citizenry many years ago, there was this 98 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 1: famous scene after Katrina in New Orleans when armed forces 99 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: were deployed with their weapons. Lieutenant General Russell Honore here 100 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: seen shouting, put your weapons down. They're not occupiers in 101 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 1: New Orleans. They were there to help. And this is 102 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: a fundamental point. The tragedy of this era and the 103 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: travesty of our time is the purposeful division, the breaking 104 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 1: of the bonds, the shattering of the cornerstones of our civilization. 105 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: And seven months in this fascist regime has deployed the 106 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: military against the people, and soon the American military will 107 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: spill into America's cities. In the new world order, the 108 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: one written by Trump, Gavin Newsom is the enemy, and 109 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: Putin is our Ally California is a despotic healthscape, Russia 110 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: of Paradise. Over and over again, Donald Trump has made 111 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: it clear he hates half the country, and forty nine 112 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: and a half percent of our countrymen made him president, 113 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: a small victory, but a victory that gave him one 114 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: hundred percent of the executive power. The Congress gave him 115 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: all of their power, and the judiciary of fair amount 116 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: as well. And so now it seems that we are 117 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: in a bit of a transition to one man rule. 118 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: Trump will decide two plus two equals five or four 119 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: or three or ten. What he says goes. He's the law. 120 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: Stephen Miller's the law. But by all means, we should 121 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: keep up those USA chants. Keep telling ourselves we're an 122 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: exceptional country. Keep telling ourselves where the land of the 123 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: Free and the home of the brave, because it certainly 124 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: looks like it in Washington, D C. Doesn't it. I'm 125 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: Steve Schmidt. This is the warning.
