Speaker 1: It's Thursday, the twenty ninth of August. This is the
Speaker 1: warning Summer twenty twenty five has come to an end.
Speaker 1: It's Labor Day weekend. It's been a summer of change
Speaker 1: in the United States. When it began, the US Army
Speaker 1: was not mulching the flower beds of Washington, DC. FBI
Speaker 1: special agents were not doing traffic stops. Donald Trump had
Speaker 1: not yet deployed armor to America's cities, and had not
Speaker 1: done so on the weight of lies about disorder. That's
Speaker 1: a figment of his imagination. And idiotized society seems susceptible
Speaker 1: to the idea that because there is crime, the army
Speaker 1: is the answer, because there is a street dog, a
Speaker 1: tank the solution. And so here we are militarized police
Speaker 1: forces that have manifested as if out of the ether.
Speaker 1: The only comparable example is Vladimir Putin's Little Green Men
Speaker 1: in crimea from more than a decade ago. This is
Speaker 1: the summer where new federal vehicles were unveiled defend the Culture,
Speaker 1: with Donald J. Trump embossed in gold on the back.
Speaker 1: And these men have a license, at least temporarily issued
Speaker 1: by a president, to do violence, to create Mayhem to
Speaker 1: get anybody who suspected of being a lesser American. Here
Speaker 1: is the author of Pizzagate, a political extremist, a neo Nazi,
Speaker 1: ranking who is and who is not a real American
Speaker 1: by virtue of when their ancestors came to the country
Speaker 1: Category A, category B, Category C, CA, Category D. At
Speaker 1: the instant, a foreign national raises their hand and swears
Speaker 1: an allegiance to the Constitution of the United States. Regardless
Speaker 1: of where they are, from what faith they practice, what
Speaker 1: color their skin may be, they are as fully an
Speaker 1: equally an American, as a descendant of the Mayflower, as
Speaker 1: a descendant of a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
Speaker 1: The neo Nazi that author Pizzagate may not appreciate the
Speaker 1: fact that the men of the First Minnesota who saved
Speaker 1: the country from the Confederacy at the Battle of Gettysburg,
Speaker 1: many of them did not speak English. Many of them
Speaker 1: were German speaking Catholics, that the know nothings wanted to
Speaker 1: keep out of the country. Thus it is the same
Speaker 1: as it has always been. There is a malignancy in
Speaker 1: our country steeped in hatred, and it has always bubbled
Speaker 1: their coexisting with what Abraham Lincoln called the better angels
Speaker 1: of our nature. The idea that there's evil is not new.
Speaker 1: The idea that there are cruel people should not be novel.
Speaker 1: The idea that power corrupts absolutely, and that there would
Speaker 1: be an American who would topple the greatest experiment in
Speaker 1: the history of humanity with regard to how people govern
Speaker 1: themselves for the sake of their own aggrandizement, to take
Speaker 1: whatever they can that they would ruin. Such a thing
Speaker 1: should not come as a surprise thousands of years of
Speaker 1: history and warnings on the matter. And so it has
Speaker 1: come to pass in America by Labor Day weekend that
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has fundamentally reordered the relationship between the state
Speaker 1: and the citizen, and the President and the Congress and
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. In seven months time. He has come
Speaker 1: as closed as any American ever has to achieving one
Speaker 1: man rule. He does not tolerate dissent. There is no defiance,
Speaker 1: only sycophancy such as here.
Speaker 2: As we approach Labor Day weekend, here this is just
Speaker 2: such a great opportunity, really to recognize your leadership as
Speaker 2: a true champion for working people. And I know we'll
Speaker 2: hear as we go round the table here, how your
Speaker 2: focus singularly on putting the well being and interest of
Speaker 2: the American people first? Is that common thread that we're
Speaker 2: seeing in your policies being implemented across your administration.
Speaker 1: And there is only cowardice, weakness, and submission when it
Speaker 1: comes to those who are facing him. With a few examples.
Speaker 1: And so the summer is at its end, the fall
Speaker 1: is beginning, and soon we will be exactly one year
Speaker 1: away from an election, a midterm election. That election is
Speaker 1: a referendum, the last chance to put a check on
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and to say no. Each day Donald Trump
Speaker 1: gets a little less popular and a little more powerful.
Speaker 1: The question that is in the air is this, Will
Speaker 1: he become unpopular fast enough to stop his accrual of
Speaker 1: power before it's too late, or will he gain enough
Speaker 1: power to make his growing unpopularity completely irrelevant. Donald will
Speaker 1: have successfully transformed America into a country where one man
Speaker 1: rules and his polyp buro picks its voters, and whatever
Speaker 1: they decide to do is stamped and approved by a
Speaker 1: corrupt court of angry and aggrieved men. We stand at
Speaker 1: the precipice of cementing this into a new reality. At
Speaker 1: the beginning of a new era. And that era will
Speaker 1: not bring greatness. It will bring misery, poverty, disease, war,
Speaker 1: and unhappiness. But no one will ever be able to
Speaker 1: say that the American people didn't choose it. They did
Speaker 1: forty nine and a half percent of the vote in
Speaker 1: the year twenty twenty four, when Donald Trump rose to
Speaker 1: power in a choice against a man who is not able,
Speaker 1: but around whom the opposition held fast until the most
Speaker 1: prolific liar in American history was viewed by enough of
Speaker 1: the country as the moron as candidate in the race,
Speaker 1: and they made him president and put him in charge
Speaker 1: of a system he never believed in, and he took
Speaker 1: an oath that he was faithless to from the second
Speaker 1: Eystward and eight months later, country being transformed, Soldiers on
Speaker 1: the streets, chaos, and our institutions suffering death and misery
Speaker 1: building from the cessation of America's food aid and scientific aid.
Speaker 1: Everywhere there is fear. For the first time in two
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty years, the American people are afraid of
Speaker 1: their king. Welcome to September in these United States, and
Speaker 1: I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning. I invite you
Speaker 1: to join this community where I promised to be honest, blunt,
Speaker 1: and direct about what is happening in this country. America
Speaker 1: is in crisis. Follow and subscribe to this channel and
