1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: It is Friday, March twenty first, twenty twenty five. The 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: vernal equinox is upon us. Winter is over, spring has sprung, 3 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 1: and the American crisis rolls along. This is the warning. 4 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 1: Donald Trump raised his hand and swore to preserve, protect, 5 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 1: and defend the Constitution of the United States on a 6 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: cold winter day on January twentieth, not so very long ago. 7 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 1: Let's watch how far we've come down the river by 8 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:36,200 Speaker 1: examining the misconduct of Missouri's disgraceful Senator Josh Holly. Holly 9 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: is a product of Stanford Law School. 10 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 2: But these courts are doing, these district courts is wrong. 11 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 2: It is unconstitutional. I want to be real clear to me. 12 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 2: This isn't about Congress taking away power courts currently have. 13 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 2: This is about Congress reforming and stopping the abuse these 14 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 2: district courts. These are the entry level federal courts. They 15 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 2: do not have the authority to go out and to say, 16 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 2: mister President, you can't do this. We're going to bind 17 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 2: everybody nationwide. They don't have that authority. 18 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: Son, Let's watch one of Trump's children of the corn 19 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: White House Press Secretary, the child Carolyn Levitt the Lightweight, 20 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 1: explain how the judiciary works about how some random judge 21 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: can't order the president to turn a plane of people around. 22 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 3: The judge in this case is essentially trying to say 23 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 3: that the president doesn't have the executive authority to deport 24 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 3: foreign terrorists from our American soil. That is an egregious 25 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 3: abuse of the bench. This judge cannot does not have 26 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,479 Speaker 3: that authority. It is the opinion of this White House 27 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 3: and of this administration, and that's why we're fighting this 28 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 3: in court. And it's very very clear that this is 29 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 3: an activist judge who is trying to usurp the president's authority. 30 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: There is an assault underway against the foundation of American society, 31 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: our cornerstones that hold up the American way of life, 32 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: the American civilization, unique, special, and incredibly about to celebrate 33 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: the beginning of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of 34 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: our revolution that declared there would be no kings in 35 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: America because here we would live under the law and 36 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: all men were created equal. That original founding hypocrisy was 37 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: closed with acts of courage, and America's ideas and ideals 38 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: were redeemed by acts of faith in the country that 39 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: defied description by men like John Lewis and Martin Luther King. 40 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: Think about John Lewis and the bravery of ordinary people 41 00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: who reclaimed those words their true meaning for all of us, 42 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: with the dignity of their courage and their blood, as 43 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: they stepped forward, step by step towards the waiting police 44 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: who would beat them and bludgeon them. The criminal were 45 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: the police. The criminals were the powerful people who controlled 46 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 1: the levers of power in the state. The patriots were 47 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: those that march, And so it will be that the 48 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: American people will have to march again. They see that 49 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: it seems that the government of Trump, by Trump for 50 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: Trump is adding a plot twist. It is becoming suddenly 51 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: a government of Trump, by Trump, for Trump for Musk. 52 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 4: Breaking news this hour with The New York Times now 53 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 4: reporting that Elon Musk is about to potentially get access 54 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 4: to some of the nation's most closely guarded military secrets. 55 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 4: According to what The Times just reported a few moments 56 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 4: ago and published on their website, The Pentagon is scheduled 57 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 4: on Friday to brief Elon Musk on the US military's 58 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 4: plan for any war that might break out with China. 59 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: How did it come to be that this one man, 60 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: the richest man in the world on paper suddenly, because 61 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: he is rich, is an expert in all things. How 62 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: can he see it all and get it all done? 63 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 1: For that, we must be grateful. We're constantly reminded by 64 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: the propagandists on Fox and other right wing sewers, and 65 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: we must be grateful to Elon. 66 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 5: He is truly one of the most gentle creatures and 67 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 5: sweet men really that you've been around. That he's exceptional 68 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 5: in so many ways. It's hard not to see him 69 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 5: as something different than the rest of us, because he 70 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 5: is different than the rest. 71 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 6: He sends life saving communications via starlink to North Carolina 72 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 6: and Tennessee after Hurricane Helene. He sent them to California 73 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 6: after the California wildfires. He sent them to Ukraine after 74 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 6: they were invaded. This is a guy working on the 75 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 6: cutting edge of technologlogy to advance the human condition. 76 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 7: Elon Musk is a once in a generation business leader. 77 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 7: He is an entrepreneur. He serves as a great ally 78 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 7: and a friend to the president. And I think Elon 79 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 7: Musk also has a little bit of common sense. 80 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: Those has been beyond successful. 81 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 2: Every American should be thanking President Trump. 82 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,799 Speaker 1: They should be thanking Elon Musk very smart, a brilliant person, 83 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: and which I like. 84 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 7: I'm a big believer in IQ points. 85 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: I mean it's a good thing. We're told constantly to 86 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: be grateful, grateful for Elon discrediting social security, attacking NATO, 87 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: undermining Ukraine, threatening to pull away technology that was purchased 88 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: by his company that the Ukrainians have some dependency on. 89 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: Like a schoolyard bully, like a wanna be king. Elon's 90 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: an expert on all things, everywhere, all at once, king 91 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: of all knowledge, the meglomaniac must married to the narcissist Trump. 92 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: What could go wrong? And now Elon Musk, partner of 93 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: the Chinese government, will be briefed for some unknown reason. 94 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 1: A man who couldn't do two pushups, a man who's 95 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: never served in uniform, a man who's never been in 96 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: a combat zone, a man who's paranoid about his security, 97 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: his safety, a man who is, by all accounts, Academy attict, 98 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 1: will be briefed by America's Joint Chiefs to staff about 99 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: our war plans with his business partner to Chinese. Now, 100 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 1: it doesn't take a strategic genius to figure out that 101 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,799 Speaker 1: if we withdraw from NATO, all of that European firepower 102 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: which Trump pisses all over each time he gets, would 103 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: be unavailable to fight the Chinese with. Now even the 104 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 1: dumbest Maga understands one would hope that there are many 105 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 1: more Chinese than there are Americans. But together, between America 106 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 1: and Europe, there are almost as many as there are Chinese, 107 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: and together the economy of Europe and America equal. To 108 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: fight America alone is America week. America week is America exposed. 109 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: America exposed leads to Americans being killed. Each and every 110 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: one of these clowns like Christy Nomes playing dress up, 111 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: flying planes, shooting guns. You cannot make this up. The 112 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: corruption is staggering, and every bit of it. I promise 113 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: you will be held to account one day soon when 114 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: this period of excess and insanity is pushed back underground 115 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: and sealed for a very long time, until inevitably it 116 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: awakens again, and hopefully with some wisdoms passed down and 117 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: remembered that we were too soft and stupid to recall 118 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: in our moment of crisis. And so now danger is 119 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: here and the American people have to face up. In 120 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: the spring that Trump's aggressions will only get worse. Apparently, 121 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: the British government has come up with a plan to 122 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: appease Donald Trump. King Charles will offer America a seat 123 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: at the table of the British Commonwealth of Nations, hoping 124 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: to flatter Trump's ego. Perhaps he could be first night 125 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: of the Roundtable. But at any rate, it's a dumb 126 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: idea and appeasing Trump an even dumber one. Trump understands 127 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: one thing, which is strength, and so in this moment, 128 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: what Trump will soon feel is the strength and rising 129 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: anger of the American people who have been made to 130 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,439 Speaker 1: feel fear across this country. People on green cards are 131 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: in fear, people crossing a border are in fear, in 132 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: fear of ending up like this young Canadian actress in chains, 133 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: treated like a criminal for doing nothing. We see accusations 134 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: about gang members from Venezuela, the worst murderer in the world. 135 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: But what happens when a soccer star with a tattoo 136 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 1: that the dumb ass at ice can't recognize? What happens 137 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: when he ends up in the prison of no return. 138 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,959 Speaker 1: This moment requires defense of an idea that has lit 139 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: the world, that split history in half. Is a decisive 140 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: before and after moment. It is the moment when a 141 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: declaration of independence was issued that contained within it a 142 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: phrase that is the most profound ever put to paper 143 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: by the mind of man. In America, all men we 144 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: appreciate today and women are created equal, endowed by a creator, 145 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: with inalienable rights and include life, liberty, and the pursuit 146 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: of happiness. This is the American creed. It says nothing 147 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: about a accumulating wealth. It says nothing about being an 148 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 1: insect in a new kingdom where Elon Musk is lord 149 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: of all things. This idea has lit the world. Seventy 150 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: million people immigrated to the United States from Europe. My 151 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: family was amongst them. People have come to this nation 152 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: from every place on Earth, and they were guided, many 153 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: of them before there were televisions and movies by the 154 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 1: power of an idea about liberty. And many of them 155 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: had a meal the night before they left for America. 156 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: Courage and determination. They built a country that not only 157 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: saved the world, but redeemed it from the ashes, spreading 158 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:53,959 Speaker 1: a gospel of prosperity and liberty that has lifted people 159 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: by the billions out of abject poverty around the globe 160 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: where the only country where every language is spoken every day, 161 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,199 Speaker 1: and together we have lifted more people out of poverty, 162 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 1: fed more people, cured more people, liberated, more people than 163 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: the story and record of all the nations on Earth 164 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: put together. From the beginning of time. We have grown wealthy, 165 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: we have grown powerful, We have grown decadent and corrupt. 166 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,839 Speaker 1: And that corruption is our weakness. It was the gateway 167 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: to Donald Trump, who now seeks to smash what needs 168 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: to be reformed, not burned to the ground, because what 169 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:45,319 Speaker 1: is being assaulted is the foundation of ideas that not 170 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 1: only keep the government jackboot off our neck, but create 171 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: the conditions for dreamers to dream, for artists to create, 172 00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: for singers to sing, for writers to write, people to make, 173 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: and people make things, not for it to be taken 174 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: from them by an officious, heavy handed regime, a taker 175 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: regime that says we have an entitlement because Mike makes right. 176 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 1: This is what the United States rejects in every form 177 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: and fashion. And now from within we see a malignancy 178 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: rising in this spring. That malignancy will meet organized opposition, 179 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: not led by feckless schumer Crafts, but by industrious Americans, 180 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: and that opposition will show the steel, and show the 181 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: spine and show the grit that MAGA will have no 182 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: idea how to handle. It's coming soon. And so today's 183 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: warning is for Elon and it is for MAGA.

The American people will take it 186 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: back from you. This is the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt. 187 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: This is the warning.
