Speaker 1: It is Tuesday, August twenty sixth. This is the warning.
Speaker 2: What's up with Trump's hand, his ankles. He's sick. It's
Speaker 2: obvious what's wrong with him. The American people traditionally have
Speaker 2: had a right to know about the health of the
Speaker 2: chief executive officer, the president of the United States. But
Speaker 2: I guess it's a new age. Donald Trump yesterday said something.
Speaker 2: They might have given it away a little bit. He said,
Speaker 2: some people say they'd like a dictator. I remember not
Speaker 2: so long ago when Donald said he'd just be a
Speaker 2: dictator for a day. But it seems perhaps today whetted
Speaker 2: his appetite. Let's watch, as you.
Speaker 3: All know, Chicago's a killing field right now. And they
Speaker 3: don't acknowledge it, and they say, we don't need them.
Speaker 1: Freedom.
Speaker 3: Freedom. He's a dictator, he's a dictator. A lot of
Speaker 3: people are saying, maybe we like a dictator. I don't
Speaker 3: like a dictator. I'm not a dictator. I'm a man
Speaker 3: with great common sense and a smart person.
Speaker 2: There is this decree about flag burning. Of course Donald
Speaker 2: knows that this creates a fight. That's perfect for a
Speaker 2: demagogue like him, because we live in an idiotized society
Speaker 2: stripped of the ability to hold complex arguments. If it
Speaker 2: is not possible to explain what I'm about to try to,
Speaker 2: then it may be the case that we're just a
Speaker 2: couple seconds to midnight when it comes to freedom in
Speaker 2: this country, and there's nothing to stop the second hand
Speaker 2: from moving forward. I think that flag burning is a
Speaker 2: contemptible act, disgraceful.
Speaker 1: It breaks my heart.
Speaker 2: The only thing greater than desecrating the flag in that
Speaker 2: vile manner is burning what it stands for by singing
Speaker 2: its ideas. And first and foremost, the American flag stands
Speaker 2: for freedom, and it stands for the Constitution of the
Speaker 2: United States. It stands for a government of the people,
Speaker 2: by the people, for the people with a First Amendment,
Speaker 2: and that first Amendment guarantees the right to burn a
Speaker 2: flag if someone chooses to do it. It protects the
Speaker 2: most vile speech imaginable. Here's Stephen Miller celebrating the day's
Speaker 2: achievements on the propaganda show that's made Sean Hannity a
Speaker 2: very rich man. Here Steven Miller lies and paints a
Speaker 2: picture not of reality, not what's happening in Washington, but
Speaker 2: a reality a delusion for the sixty nine year old
Speaker 2: snuggled back in their leisure chair watching Hannity from somewhere
Speaker 2: in the middle of the country.
Speaker 4: All of these organized street gangs that are terrorizing these cities,
Speaker 4: that are dealing these drugs, that are trafficking weapons, that
Speaker 4: are engaging in organized theft, armed robbery, carjacking. All of
Speaker 4: them are doing this this with at some level or another,
Speaker 4: the trans national narco trafficking organizations. So these these street
Speaker 4: crews are engaging material support for terrorism, which is the
Speaker 4: core function of the federal government to defend and protect.
Speaker 4: President Trump has literally set the people of Washington, DC free.
Speaker 4: They're so happy now that they can just go out
Speaker 4: and live their lives. Go to the favorite restaurant, go
Speaker 4: to the favorite bar, go to the favorite pool hall,
Speaker 4: go to the favorite park. You see moms taking kids
Speaker 4: out the parks they haven't been to in years because
Speaker 4: they know the police are there. They know that President
Speaker 4: Trump is there with his law enforcement to protect them.
Speaker 4: So the thing at Beauty Sean, But I would say
Speaker 4: to the mayor of all these Democrat cities like Chicago,
Speaker 4: what you are doing to your own citizens is evil.
Speaker 1: These people.
Speaker 2: Soon we'll be watching Fox as the stories of the
Speaker 2: liberation of the cities beginst unfold as national guards from
Speaker 2: Blue states are sent to the Red States, one inch
Speaker 2: away from a type of civil war, from a line.
Speaker 1: That is hard to uncross.
Speaker 2: All of it authored by Donald Trump and his minions
Speaker 2: and sac of fans and the people who stand beside him.
Speaker 1: Obviously, this is crazy.
Speaker 5: Just overflowing with gratitude because for the first time in
Speaker 5: their lives, they can use the parks, they can walk
Speaker 5: on the streets. You have people who can walk freely
Speaker 5: at night without having to worry about being robbed or mugged.
Speaker 5: They're wearing their watches again. They're wearing jewelry again, They're
Speaker 5: carrying purses again. People have changed their whole lives in
Speaker 5: this city for fear of being murdered, mugged, and carjacked.
Speaker 5: It is a literal statement that President Trump has freed
Speaker 5: seven hundred thousand people in this city who are living
Speaker 5: under the rule of criminals and thugs.
Speaker 2: The lies fundamentally about being the basis for Donald to
Speaker 2: claim power. And now the man and who said I
Speaker 2: want a Nobel Peace Prize was to change the Department
Speaker 2: of Defense to the Department of War. Well, according to
Speaker 2: news reports, he's signing secret findings, initiating a secret war
Speaker 2: in Mexico in South America, and historically that's never gone
Speaker 2: well for the United States. But I'm sure with the
Speaker 2: genius and the Oval Office, it'll be different this time.
Speaker 1: How do you plan to do that?
Speaker 2: It requires an Act of Congress to rename the Defense
Speaker 2: Department to the.
Speaker 1: Department corpt Go to do it.
Speaker 3: I'm sure Congress will go along if we need that.
Speaker 3: I don't think we even need that, but if we
Speaker 3: need that, I'm sure Congress will go along. You know,
Speaker 3: that was the name when we want. We won World
Speaker 3: War One, we won World War Two, we won everything,
Speaker 3: and just to me seems like just a much more appropriate.
Speaker 3: The other is defense is too defensive, and we want
Speaker 3: to be defensive, but we want to be offensive too
Speaker 3: if we have to be, so it just sounded to
Speaker 3: me better.
Speaker 1: It's really like a better than you.
Speaker 2: Everywhere Donald Trump is asserting power he doesn't have, and
Speaker 2: everywhere the American people mostly are yawning through the summer.
Speaker 2: But soon in a city near you, there's going to
Speaker 2: be a tank on the street, a man with a
Speaker 2: rifle not over there, but here, in a military uniform
Speaker 2: and a lot of those people will be ignorant. They'll
Speaker 2: be looking for a fight, and they'll think, because they
Speaker 2: live in a world of algorithms and fantasy, that the
Speaker 2: people they're pointing the weapons out are their enemies, not
Speaker 2: their fellow Americans, and that pointing a gun at the
Speaker 2: people who live in those cities is the way to
Speaker 2: liberate them. Because Trump is great, and soon we all will.
Speaker 2: What a tragic moment. This is not just for the
Speaker 2: United States but all the world. What we are witnessing
Speaker 2: is the collapse of the greatest republic in the history
Speaker 2: of the world.
Speaker 1: Its failure and.
Speaker 2: Falling is not yet set in stone, but it is
Speaker 2: falling apart, and it is collapsing, and a dictator is rising.
Speaker 2: The checks and balances have become a punchline, the abuse
Speaker 2: of power, the self enrichment, and the fact that mostly
Speaker 2: the things the Constitution says, the things that we thought
Speaker 2: were the rock, turned out to be well sand castles.
Speaker 2: Sand castles on the beach at Marlaco. Time is running out,
Speaker 2: It's running out to take a stand.
Speaker 1: Soon there will be more knocks on the door.
Speaker 2: There will be more stories of people like John Bolton,
Speaker 2: until there's too many to even notice, and then there'll
Speaker 2: be a draft to fill up the Department of War.
Speaker 1: Maybe the ranks of ice.
Speaker 2: Nobody has told Trump no, can't hear the word. Couldn't
Speaker 2: hear it when he lost an election, and now there's
Speaker 2: no one left to tell it to him except for
Speaker 2: the American people who don't seem too concerned at all.
Speaker 2: His approval ratings are dropping, yet the silence is deafening.
Speaker 2: President says he wants to be a dictator and says
Speaker 2: out loud, let's watch.
Speaker 3: As you all know. Chicago's a killing field right now.
Speaker 3: And they don't acknowledge it, and they say, we don't
Speaker 3: need them.
Speaker 1: Freedom. Freedom.
Speaker 3: He's a dictator. He's a dictator. A lot of people
Speaker 3: are saying, maybe we like a dictator. I don't like
Speaker 3: a dictator. I'm not a dictator. I'm a man with
Speaker 3: great common sense and I'm a smart person.
Speaker 2: That he's sending troops to a state near you if
Speaker 2: he doesn't like who you elected to lead your city
Speaker 2: or to lead your state. Anywhere there's black people or
Speaker 2: brown people, where there's an immigrant, there's an opportunity for
Speaker 2: Donald Trump to tell his sick lies and have them
Speaker 2: paddled out on his propaganda networks across the country about
Speaker 2: things that are not true, have not been true, and
Speaker 2: have never been true. And because of those lives that
Speaker 2: have strangled reality, stand on the edge of some of
Speaker 2: the most dangerous days in this country in one hundred
Speaker 2: and sixty years. Not good doesn't begin to describe where
Speaker 2: we are on this August twenty sixth of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning.
Speaker 2: I invite you to join this community where I promise
Speaker 2: to be honest, blunt and direct about what is happening
Speaker 2: in this country. America is in crisis. Follow and subscribe
Speaker 2: to this channel and on substack.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
