WEBVTT - Interviews, Endorsements and World War 3 | The Schmidt Storm

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to another edition of the Schmid Storm. You have questions,

0:00:04.440 --> 0:00:07.600
<v Speaker 1>I have answers. Let's get to it. The first question

0:00:07.800 --> 0:00:10.640
<v Speaker 1>is a great one, and it's one that the national

0:00:10.680 --> 0:00:13.880
<v Speaker 1>media frankly doesn't understand, and it is what is the

0:00:14.080 --> 0:00:18.360
<v Speaker 1>impact of Robert Kennedy's endorsement for Donald Trump?

0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Will it help him win? Now?

0:00:21.000 --> 0:00:23.840
<v Speaker 1>A lot of the media looks at a Kennedy endorsement

0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:29.840
<v Speaker 1>and they add his percentage to Trump's percentage, and they think, well,

0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:35.000
<v Speaker 1>since a endorse b their supporters all go, and therefore

0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:39.360
<v Speaker 1>it's now a two person ticket of sorts where their

0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:43.120
<v Speaker 1>numbers have added up, and those numbers add up to

0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:46.720
<v Speaker 1>more than the Harris Waltz total. That's not how it

0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:53.640
<v Speaker 1>works at all. Robert Kennedy is profoundly mentally ill, completely irrational,

0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:58.960
<v Speaker 1>utterly demented, and the freak show of Maga is where

0:00:59.000 --> 0:00:59.760
<v Speaker 1>he belongs.

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:02.200
<v Speaker 2>It's where he always belonged.

0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:06.520
<v Speaker 1>The truth is that the American people, when they observe

0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:11.560
<v Speaker 1>this race, we any clear eyed patriotic American sees is

0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:20.360
<v Speaker 1>this seditious creature canteena of imbeciles, convicted felons, weirdos, sexual predators,

0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:24.160
<v Speaker 1>wife theaters, and now a guy who changed the head

0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:27.440
<v Speaker 1>off of a whale, who brought a dead bear cub

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:31.480
<v Speaker 1>to Central Park for some reason, who is a conspiracy

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:37.960
<v Speaker 1>theorist and a vaccine denier. So he isn't an attractant.

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:43.319
<v Speaker 1>He's a repellent, and so normal people are repelled by

0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:47.200
<v Speaker 1>him and his joining forces with Trump. So in the

0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 1>end this is going to hurt Robert Kennedy. He couldn't

0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:55.800
<v Speaker 1>even bring along his vice presidential candidate or his wife

0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:59.320
<v Speaker 1>to support Trump. That's how weak his coattails are. This

0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:02.800
<v Speaker 1>question is asked me to react to the inaugural joint

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:07.400
<v Speaker 1>media interview by Kamala Harris and Tim Walls. I thought

0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:12.440
<v Speaker 1>it was fantastic she answered the questions. They showed steadiness

0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:17.720
<v Speaker 1>and normalcy. Now, none of this takes place in a vacuum.

0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 1>So the place we have to start is Donald Trump,

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:26.800
<v Speaker 1>because while that is going on concurrent, the other campaign

0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:32.519
<v Speaker 1>is busy also desecrating Arlington National Cemetery, Donald Trump's completely

0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:39.320
<v Speaker 1>insane tweets, sexual tweets, tweets threatening to kill Americans, tweets

0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:44.240
<v Speaker 1>threatening to imprison Americans, declarations of the Q and non

0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:52.520
<v Speaker 1>conspiracy theory in sanity. While Kamala Harris, the Vice president,

0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:58.760
<v Speaker 1>and Governor Wallas are sitting down answering questions, demonstrating calmness

0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:04.280
<v Speaker 1>of temperament. These are normal people, These are good people. Now,

0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:08.880
<v Speaker 1>the Republican smears against Tim Wall's military record are absurd

0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:14.720
<v Speaker 1>and they're unfair. A question does not gain legitimacy because

0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:18.920
<v Speaker 1>the other side has made a polemic attack within the

0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:23.280
<v Speaker 1>subject area. So there are questions that get asked, For example,

0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:25.919
<v Speaker 1>what will you do is your first day as president?

0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:28.239
<v Speaker 1>That don't tell the American people anything.

0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you.

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.640
<v Speaker 1>Exactly what Kamala Harris will do on her first day

0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:34.920
<v Speaker 1>as president. She'll wake up at the Blairhouse. She'll go

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:38.560
<v Speaker 1>to church at Saint John's. That's the place that Donald

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Trump ordered a tear gas attack on because he wanted

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:45.080
<v Speaker 1>to desecrate the Bible, like he desecrated Arlington for a

0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:48.640
<v Speaker 1>photo op when he ordered government thudgs to attack Black

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Lives Matter protesters. She'll be inaugurated at the Capital of

0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:57.480
<v Speaker 1>at noon. There'll be a luncheon following by the Joint Committee.

0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Following that, they'll be a parade. She'll enter the White

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 1>House and the Oval Office for the first time as president.

0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:07.320
<v Speaker 1>She'll go upstairs, have a few minutes, and then she'll

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:10.720
<v Speaker 1>have to change into ball gowns, which is probably for

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:14.280
<v Speaker 1>the first time in American history, a much longer process

0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:18.000
<v Speaker 1>than the male presidents we've had growing on their tuxedo.

0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:21.440
<v Speaker 1>The President will go to many balls that night, and

0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:24.840
<v Speaker 1>in the morning the business of governance will start. What's

0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:29.960
<v Speaker 1>important to know about the Vice President and Governor Wallas

0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:34.640
<v Speaker 1>is their philosophy about freedom, about the country, about us,

0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:38.680
<v Speaker 1>And the most important thing the Vice President Harris has

0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:42.359
<v Speaker 1>communicated is she has no malice in her heart for

0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:46.520
<v Speaker 1>any of us, especially those of us who disagree with

0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:47.799
<v Speaker 1>her on some issues.

0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:50.440
<v Speaker 2>People who support.

0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Kamala Harris despite disagreements, tease someone who looks at them

0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:58.440
<v Speaker 1>as loyal and good Americans and wants to do right

0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:01.839
<v Speaker 1>by them, do goodbye them them, not to do them harm,

0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:05.239
<v Speaker 1>not to do to them what Trump wants. Trump wants

0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:08.559
<v Speaker 1>power to take revenge against the people that it didn't

0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:12.760
<v Speaker 1>support him. He talks about it all the time, believe him.

0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:16.719
<v Speaker 1>Let me just say in conclusion to this, there has

0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.560
<v Speaker 1>in all of history, and I mean all of it,

0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:23.760
<v Speaker 1>never been a person seeking power promising to kill people

0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:27.040
<v Speaker 1>when he got it. That didn't fulfill the promise. Ever,

0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:31.200
<v Speaker 1>so when Donald Trump starts talking about killing people, wake up,

0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:35.240
<v Speaker 1>pay attention and take the man seriously, even though, as

0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:39.400
<v Speaker 1>the Vice President pointed out, he is a most unserious man.

0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:43.240
<v Speaker 1>The question is Donald Trump keeps telling the American people

0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:46.360
<v Speaker 1>we are on the brink of World War three? Is

0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:50.080
<v Speaker 1>there any truth to it? Donald Trump is somebody who

0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:54.440
<v Speaker 1>makes our allies tremble because of his incompetence and because

0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:59.320
<v Speaker 1>of his affinity for our collective enemies. Donald Trump has

0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.680
<v Speaker 1>a fetish for Kim Jong un. He has a fetish

0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:06.680
<v Speaker 1>for Vladimir Putin. He has a fetish for the Chinese

0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:12.039
<v Speaker 1>president because he wants their authority and power.

0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:13.240
<v Speaker 2>He admires it.

0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:16.840
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump thinks he should be able to kill a

0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.960
<v Speaker 1>political opponent. Donald Trump thinks he should be able to

0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:27.040
<v Speaker 1>order summary executions. Donald Trump lust and admires some of

0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:31.320
<v Speaker 1>the worst pirates on earth. And it is a true

0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:35.760
<v Speaker 1>fact according to his ex wife, now buried resting peacefully

0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:39.480
<v Speaker 1>forever on the first hole at the Bedminster golf Course,

0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:43.320
<v Speaker 1>that he kept speeches by Adolph Hitler on his nightstand

0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 1>and it was the only book he was ever interested

0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:51.400
<v Speaker 1>in reading. Apparently he was consumed by the idea Hitler's

0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:55.360
<v Speaker 1>great insight that the bigger the lie, the more believable

0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.000
<v Speaker 1>it would be. It's who the man is.

0:06:58.400 --> 0:06:58.719
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:02.120
<v Speaker 1>All of the chaos in the world, all of the

0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.599
<v Speaker 1>chaos in the Middle East, is joined. There is a

0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:09.200
<v Speaker 1>coalition of nations that are the chaos nations. It is

0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:12.480
<v Speaker 1>an access truly of evil. North Korea is in it,

0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:16.240
<v Speaker 1>Iran is in it. Russia is in it. Russia is

0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.480
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of prosecuting a war in Europe that

0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:23.600
<v Speaker 1>if Ukraine is defeated, will spread, and if that war

0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:27.240
<v Speaker 1>spreads into Europe on to NATO territory, Yes, World War

0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:31.320
<v Speaker 1>three could begin. But that war will begin because of

0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:39.400
<v Speaker 1>Trump's weakness, Kamala Harris's strength deters aggression and keeps peace.

0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:45.480
<v Speaker 1>Because he was inept, bordering on imbecilic. Because Donald Trump

0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:51.800
<v Speaker 1>can't distinguish between reality and fiction, fantasy and what's happening

0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:56.280
<v Speaker 1>right now in real life. Because he's unprepared, because he's ignorant,

0:07:56.520 --> 0:08:00.720
<v Speaker 1>because he doesn't read, because he knows nothing about the

0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:04.840
<v Speaker 1>history of the country, and obviously, through his desecrations at

0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Arlington National Cemetery, does not understand the price paid by

0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Americans to keep peace in Europe so that the whole

0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:18.560
<v Speaker 1>world could prosper into the twenty first century. There will

0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:21.600
<v Speaker 1>be a reckoning with Iran, who was waging war on

0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Israel and the United States. These are important questions for

0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Kamala Harris. And we should understand that we live in

0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:32.400
<v Speaker 1>a dangerous world. But the chances of things going truly

0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:37.120
<v Speaker 1>off the rails increased exponentially with the most unfit man

0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:40.880
<v Speaker 1>in the country serving in the Oval office, with the

0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:45.520
<v Speaker 1>powers of the presidency being trailed by nuclear football carried

0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:46.720
<v Speaker 1>by a military aid.

0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:48.760
<v Speaker 2>Great question, and it's this.

0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:53.560
<v Speaker 1>It references all of the insanity tweeted out by Donald Trump,

0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:59.280
<v Speaker 1>his declarations of support for the QAnon, the qbanon conspiracy theories,

0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:04.320
<v Speaker 1>his references to blow jobs, his references to killing people.

0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:05.000
<v Speaker 2>On and on and on.

0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:09.680
<v Speaker 1>And the question is what can be done? Is there

0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:15.120
<v Speaker 1>anything within the political system that can stop the spread

0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:20.640
<v Speaker 1>of this? So, yes, there is the American people and

0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:24.800
<v Speaker 1>that's it. That is the political system. Government of the people,

0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:29.480
<v Speaker 1>by the people, for the people. We have no shortage

0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:33.120
<v Speaker 1>of whack jobs in America because we have a population

0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:37.040
<v Speaker 1>of three hundred and fifty million people. There is an

0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:42.000
<v Speaker 1>astonishing story about an airline pilot sitting in the jump

0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:46.360
<v Speaker 1>seat of a commercial airline flight off duty, who reached

0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:50.319
<v Speaker 1>it up and tried to sever the fuel to the engines.

0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:54.520
<v Speaker 1>He was hallucinating, apparently on shrooms, which he had taken

0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:58.480
<v Speaker 1>forty eight hours before. It's been charged with eighty two

0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:03.560
<v Speaker 1>counts of murder, but unlike Trump, he's taken responsibility for

0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:08.480
<v Speaker 1>his inexplicable actions before that day. This was a completely

0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:12.800
<v Speaker 1>normal person. It's one of the most fascinating stories I've

0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:15.800
<v Speaker 1>ever read about a real life event. One thing is

0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:20.559
<v Speaker 1>clear about that man. He should absolutely never ever operate

0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:27.320
<v Speaker 1>and aircraft again. Donald Trump is our national shroom pilot.

0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:31.160
<v Speaker 1>We have to stop him. Appreciating that there's a large

0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:35.720
<v Speaker 1>number of whack jobs in the country is different than

0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:40.240
<v Speaker 1>ceding to the whack jobs out of apathy the power

0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:44.000
<v Speaker 1>for them to assert control over all of our lives,

0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:47.720
<v Speaker 1>especially when Trump is so clear over and over again

0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:49.760
<v Speaker 1>he wants to take some of our lives.

0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:54.120
<v Speaker 2>He's a man of violence and chaos, and increasingly.

0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:58.240
<v Speaker 1>He's a man who is decomposed. He is a fascist, certainly,

0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:03.440
<v Speaker 1>but so how much was talked about with regard to

0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:07.079
<v Speaker 1>the president's mental acuity. Did President Biden ever threaten to

0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:11.440
<v Speaker 1>kill an America. Did President Biden, in the worst moment

0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:15.920
<v Speaker 1>of his presidency to televised debate, did he do anything

0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:20.960
<v Speaker 1>as unhinged, as reckless, as completely batshit crazy as what

0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Trump has said? Look at these tweets? Is he in

0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:30.200
<v Speaker 1>a manic episode? What is Donald Trump's mental health condition?

0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:35.280
<v Speaker 1>Is this the function of some type of sinility? Has

0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:38.440
<v Speaker 1>he had a stroke? What's wrong with him? But that's

0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:41.679
<v Speaker 1>not the key question. We know something's wrong with him

0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.840
<v Speaker 1>For the country. The question is what is wrong with

0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:49.280
<v Speaker 1>us if we give this man power? Because only a

0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:54.680
<v Speaker 1>stick society would collectively do something like that, and the

0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:58.280
<v Speaker 1>people that would be doing it are the grandchildren and

0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:02.200
<v Speaker 1>great grandchildren of the people who saved the world, many

0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:06.400
<v Speaker 1>of them buried in Arlington National Cemetery, which Trump just desecrated.

0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:11.320
<v Speaker 1>I have the deepest faith in the American people that

0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:15.560
<v Speaker 1>this era of whack jobbery is coming to an end

0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:20.520
<v Speaker 1>because the American people won't tolerate it. Winston Churchill had

0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:24.360
<v Speaker 1>an observation a long time ago. He said, the Americans

0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:28.359
<v Speaker 1>always do the right thing after exhausting all the other alternatives.

0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:31.360
<v Speaker 1>I think that's what's going to happen. I think we're

0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:34.480
<v Speaker 1>at the beginning of the end of the Trump era,

0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:38.720
<v Speaker 1>that we're going to have the sixty six craziest days

0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:40.960
<v Speaker 1>in American political history.
