1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 1: You got questions, I have some answers. This is the 2 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,320 Speaker 1: Schmid storm. Let's get going. The question is what do 3 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,239 Speaker 1: I think about Donald Trump provoking Secret Service protection for 4 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:17,799 Speaker 1: Mike Pompeo and John Bolton. This is very important for 5 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: everybody to understand. The Iranian regime has threatened assassination of 6 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: high level American officials on American soil, and fundamentally, the 7 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: Biden administration did nothing about this, and this is unacceptable. 8 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: And I want to say that it's unacceptable through the 9 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: prism of being a political opponent of Mike Pompeo and 10 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: of John Bolton. I disagree with them, disagreed with their 11 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: service in the Trump administration, but their service in the 12 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,959 Speaker 1: Trump administration served the people of the United States who 13 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: elected Donald Trump, and Iranians have no right to kill 14 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: any of these people, including Donald Trump. Donald Trump is 15 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 1: our problem, not an Iranian problem, and in America we 16 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,279 Speaker 1: deal with problems at the ballot box. What Donald Trump 17 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: did after the Biden administration did nothing, is take away 18 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 1: their security in an active retribution and smallness and pettiness, 19 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 1: and it's wrong and it endangers those lives. 20 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 2: And let's be. 21 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 1: Clear about something. If somebody came in to the Oval 22 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: office and said to Donald Trump, mister President, someone just 23 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: shot Mike Pompeo and John Bolton. Would Donald Trump say, 24 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 1: oh my God? Or would he say good? And anybody 25 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: who thinks that Donald Trump wouldn't say good hasn't been 26 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: paying attention, and they're ignorant of the events of January sixth, 27 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: when he sent his mob to hang his vice president, 28 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: and when he was told the vice president was in danger, 29 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: he said a version of good. 30 00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 2: He deserves it. 31 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: The question is what is my reaction to Elon Musk's 32 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: non apology for the Hitler salute and then his poem 33 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: that he released on x where he mocks his Hitler 34 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: salute and the outrage over it. January twenty seventh will 35 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: be the eightieth anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, and 36 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: shortly after midnight, Soviet Army scouts came into a sub camp. 37 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: At about three pm that afternoon, they entered the remnant 38 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: of the extermination camp in the Auschwitz One main camp 39 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 1: Adolph Hitler incinerated as part of an industrial extermination plan. 40 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 2: Over six million juice eleven. 41 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: Million people died in those camps killing camps, Some of 42 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: them like Treblinka killed upwards of a million people, and 43 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: there are nine known survivors. This was the most evil 44 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: regime in history. Four hundred and five thousand Americans gave 45 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: their lives in the war to stop Adolph Hitler from 46 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: imposing slavery over all of human civilization. In front of 47 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: the White House lips between the Washington Monument, the founder 48 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: of the United States, man who created the nation with 49 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: acts of humility walking away from power. The other side 50 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: of that the Lincoln Memorial, the man who saved the nation, 51 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: who sat at the end of a long civil war 52 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: with malice towards none and charity towards all. In the 53 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: middle of that is the World War II Memorial. In 54 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: that memorial, there's a pillar for every American state and territory. 55 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: In each state and each territory made a blood sacrifice 56 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: to defeat the greatest evil that's ever been. Elon Musk 57 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: delivered that Nazi salute as part of an administration behind 58 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: the seal of the President of the United States of America. 59 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: I cannot think and I don't believe, that there has 60 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: ever been a more disgusting gesture ever made from behind 61 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: that seal. It is extraordinary and it is extraordinarily disgusting. 62 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: There are no words for me to register my disgust. 63 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: And still it's not enough. There's a man who's trying 64 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 1: to destabilize the world. He's a dangerous man, and he 65 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: is demonstrating that he's an evil man. This is an 66 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: evil cause. These are the most important lessons in history. 67 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 1: And Elon Musk is celebrating the greatest evil in history, 68 00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 1: while all around us is a complete amnesia about the 69 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: events that he's celebrating. It's sick, it's wrong, it's discussing 70 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 1: on American and all of that. Mostly it's dangerous and evil. 71 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: The question is is Donald Trump's executive order that ends 72 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: what he terms birthright citizenship unconstitutional? Let me quote the 73 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: federal judge. It is blatantly unconstitutional. And let's stop using 74 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: this term birthright citizenship that has been made up by 75 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. If you're part of a political opposition, don't 76 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:45,799 Speaker 1: debate their lives. Birthright citizenship isn't a thing. I'll explain 77 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: how it works. If you take your first breath in 78 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: American air, you are one of the seven hundred million 79 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 1: and growing that have been Americans. There are three hundred 80 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: and forty million of us now almost half of all 81 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: Americans who have ever lived or alive right now. It's 82 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 1: an incredible thing to think about. What makes you an American? 83 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 1: Are one of two things? You breathe your first breath here, 84 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: or you choose to swear an oath to the Constitution 85 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: at the end of a process where you are naturalized 86 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: as a citizen. To think about that word naturalized, naturalized. 87 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 2: To what your first breath? 88 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: Because no American is above any other American. And so 89 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 1: when that cab driver from Ghana swears that oath, a 90 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,799 Speaker 1: cleaning lady from Mexico whose son may be the president someday. 91 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 2: Or daughter, they are as equal. 92 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: Their citizenship no different than a descendant of George Washington's 93 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: or one from the Mayflower or whomever. So now Donald 94 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: Trump is going to titillate his base. Their ignorance is 95 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 1: a tool for him. He will tell them things, give 96 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: them things that are performative, that are a motive but 97 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: lack any connection to reality. His birthright citizenship is high 98 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: up on that list. Question is, how is it possible 99 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: that Trump's mean coin scam is legal while he is president. 100 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: I do not believe that Trump's mean coin scan is legal. 101 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: It is an emolument, so it's not just illegal, it's unconstitutional. 102 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 2: And let's be clear, it's a scam. 103 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: Presidency is the Trump Gifting Room, and the King likes 104 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: his tributes. Now there's another thing that needs to be said. 105 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: The Trump Mean coin, who may be valued at fifty 106 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: eight billion, or maybe it's valued at fifty nine qua 107 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: trillion trillion, its value is zero. It's scam and you 108 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: get cash out of it into real money and leave 109 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: a bunch of suckers holding the bag. All of this 110 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: stuff is the toolip graze, and all of it is 111 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: going to lead to someplace not very good. Does anybody 112 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: else remember two thousand and eight? In two thousand and nine, 113 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: seems in our modern day that there's a certain element 114 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: of genius that produces people who invent things like financial 115 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 1: derivatives and Trump coin and tell us in some straight 116 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: faced way that it's worth fifty eight billion, right, that 117 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: these coins are worth more than for example, GM. 118 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 2: They're not suckers, bet stay away.
