Speaker 1: America stands out an inflection point. Donald Trump, the forty
Speaker 1: fifth president of the United States, has been arraigned criminally
Speaker 1: three times in the last months. His latest arrests stem
Speaker 1: from the charges resulting from his conduct inciting and leading
Speaker 1: an insurrection against the United States government on January sixth
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one. Millions and millions of Americans have
Speaker 1: been poisoned by Fox News and misinformation over these recent years.
Speaker 1: Propaganda is evil because it is effective, because it works.
Speaker 1: There are millions of our fellow citizens who live in
Speaker 1: a bubble of delusion, who have been serially lied to, misinformed,
Speaker 1: and abused over the recent years. We have millions more
Speaker 1: who have surrendered their agency and their sovereignty. They've given
Speaker 1: up on adult life and responsibility. They've taken the easy
Speaker 1: path out, the path of excuses, where failure can be
Speaker 1: blamed on someone else. Grievance, victimization always every failure at
Speaker 1: the hands of some unseen conspiracy. Donald Trump makes it
Speaker 1: easy for them. There are millions of Americans who legitimately
Speaker 1: believe Donald Trump is being persecuted. They believe one of
Speaker 1: the great bullies in history is a victim. They believe
Speaker 1: that the Deep State is real. They believe these things
Speaker 1: because of the terrible, terrible job the Democratic Party has
Speaker 1: done rebutting them and refuting them. What the Democratic Party
Speaker 1: has missed is a fighter, is a brawler, a happy warrior.
Speaker 1: Somebody who is unafraid of the magabase, Somebody who will
Speaker 1: go anywhere, at any time to tell the truth, who
Speaker 1: is unafraid of the host, unafraid of Donald Trump, unafraid
Speaker 1: of Sean Hannity, and unafraid of Trump's understudy, the fascists
Speaker 1: from Tallahassee. Ron DeSantis enter California Governor Gavin Newsom. Gavin
Speaker 1: Newsom isn't a perfect leader. Who is? He has one
Speaker 1: of the most complicated jobs in the United States. The
Speaker 1: former mayor of San Francisco and Lieutenant governor of California
Speaker 1: is the chief executive of a nation state of thirty
Speaker 1: eight million people. If California were a nation, it would
Speaker 1: be the sixth largest economy in the world. California is
Speaker 1: America's economic engine, technologically and agriculturally. The problems and challenges
Speaker 1: of California are the nation's challenges. The evidence of failure
Speaker 1: is not that California has challenges. Like some mega politicians
Speaker 1: like to say, thank you for listening to my political commentary.
Speaker 1: If you like what you've heard today, please also consider
Speaker 1: subscribing to The Warning daily newsletter on Substack. Our democracy
Speaker 1: hangs in the balance. The twenty twenty four pre as
Speaker 1: anential election is the most consequential in America's history. It's
Speaker 1: not hyperbole, it's a fact. That is why the mission
Speaker 1: of the Warning with Steve Schmidt is to help readers

Speaker 1: Thank you to each and every one of you for
Speaker 1: listening and watching. Gavin Newsom has been an exceptional leader
Speaker 1: at a moment of time, overwhelmed by timidity and cowardice.
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom he is unafraid to call out the MAGA
Speaker 1: lies and he's going to do so on Sean Hannity's
Speaker 1: show on Fox News's Air with Governor ron DeSantis, there
Speaker 1: in a debate. Some will say this debate is without precedent,
Speaker 1: but it's not. In nineteen sixty seven, there was a
Speaker 1: remarkable debate that took place between Robert Kennedy and Ronald D. Reagan.
Speaker 1: They answered questions on live television from students from around
Speaker 1: the world. A lot of those questions were hostile. This
Speaker 1: forum will be different than that, and no doubt the
Speaker 1: audience will be packed and loaded. But it doesn't matter
Speaker 1: because Gavin Newsom will have truth on his side and
Speaker 1: he's an exceptional communicator. What MAGA Americans have been fed
Speaker 1: is a steady diet of lies. They have been walled
Speaker 1: off from alternate information sources. How should this debate be
Speaker 1: thought about? It's not so very different than during the
Speaker 1: days of the Cold War, when occasionally, during moments of
Speaker 1: reproach monk an American president would have the rare opportunity
Speaker 1: to speak directly to Soviet or Soviet Block citizens to
Speaker 1: be able to deliver them an unvarnished version of reality
Speaker 1: and the truth. The truth cannot be hidden forever, and
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is no victim. The overwhelming majority of Americans
Speaker 1: do not want Donald Trump's civil war, nor do they
Speaker 1: want Rohn de Sanusus. They don't want the culture war.
Speaker 1: They don't want the division. What they don't want is
Speaker 1: America at each other's throat. What they don't want is
Speaker 1: in America where hundreds of millions of people are at
Speaker 1: each other's throats, stoked as pawns would be by their
Speaker 1: politicians in a game where power is the prize. It's appalling.
Speaker 1: Ron DeSantis is going to be humiliated when he faces
Speaker 1: off against the California governor. He's going to be humiliated
Speaker 1: because the Maga stick is thin, it's dishonest, and it
Speaker 1: goes unchallenged constantly. That will end. And what Gavin Newsom
Speaker 1: will do in confronting the proverbial mag lion in its
Speaker 1: den is he will inspire courage. The simple truth is
Speaker 1: this confronting this imbecility and this idiocy causes nothing bad
Speaker 1: to happen to you. Gavin Newsom is going to stand up,
Speaker 1: and it's going to take a lot of Americans alongside
Speaker 1: him for the right against the worst cause in America
Speaker 1: since the Confederacy, to put it away in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: That is what the mission of this election is. To
Speaker 1: end the extremist movement in America, so at long last,
Speaker 1: after eight wasted Trump years, we can move on as
Speaker 1: a country. Thank you for watching. Make sure you subscribe
