Speaker 1: It is Monday, August the eighteenth. This is the warning.
Speaker 1: President Zelenski of Ukraine is in Washington, d C. As
Speaker 1: are the leaders of the European democracies. They're there because
Speaker 1: they are fearful of the great appeasement in Anchorage. Historically,
Speaker 1: it will be recalled astonishingly by a future generation as
Speaker 1: the equivalent of Munich, and with awe, they will wonder,
Speaker 1: how was it possible that, within the span of the
Speaker 1: living lifetime of the men who stormed the beaches and
Speaker 1: the survivors of the death camps, that an American president
Speaker 1: would embrace the philosophy of Charles Lindberg and the American
Speaker 1: booned and the fascists, and deploy the American military against
Speaker 1: the people, That he would betray freedom around the world,
Speaker 1: that he would commit acts of arson against the Constitution
Speaker 1: of the United States, and in the end, he would
Speaker 1: take the American flag, synonymous with freedom all over the
Speaker 1: world and defile it by placing it next to the
Speaker 1: Russian dictator who launched an illegal war of aggression that
Speaker 1: is killed and wounded a million of his own soldiers
Speaker 1: and killed tens of thousands of Ukrainians, and has seen
Speaker 1: the kidnapping and shipping east of thousands of Ukrainian children kidnapped,
Speaker 1: was stolen from their parents. This man was greeted with
Speaker 1: honor and dignity on American soil. It was an astonishing
Speaker 1: propaganda victory for the Russian tyrant pursuing peace. Nothing could
Speaker 1: be further from the truth. The thing about propaganda, seeing it,
Speaker 1: witnessing it, watching it assault the consciousness, the sentience, the
Speaker 1: ability of people to critically think, is appalling. It is frightening,
Speaker 1: and it is real, and it is happening. Pursuing peace.
Speaker 1: The reality show that Donald Trump is producing is fascist
Speaker 1: in character, right down to the masked men, right down
Speaker 1: to the sycophants and buffoons who surround him and this
Speaker 1: reality show. The images that have produces are meant to
Speaker 1: show American strength, but sometimes reality intrudes. Here is a
Speaker 1: Russian vehicle manufactured in the United States, captured on the battlefield,
Speaker 1: flying the Russian tricolor and the American flag together, images
Speaker 1: that show two flags of what brutality and oppression and
Speaker 1: rape and murder. One thing is true That was not
Speaker 1: until very recently. Both countries have massed agents that snatch
Speaker 1: people off the streets. This is an astonishing scene watching
Speaker 1: these federal agents to tell a man on his porch
Speaker 1: that Trump doesn't like drinking or smoking, so to watch himself.
Speaker 2: Today saying that Trump, you got your idea on your chick.
Speaker 1: Well, uh no, I live right here. Okay, cool, here's
Speaker 1: a cigarette. All right.
Speaker 2: Did y'all get to call us up about right here? No,
Speaker 2: So we're doing checks, keep everybody safe down here, right.
Speaker 2: Have you ever you heard of the federal search that
Speaker 2: Donald Trump's putting out?
Speaker 1: No, right, you don't.
Speaker 2: You don't follow three anything like that. Yeah, Trump's Trump's
Speaker 2: got all federal agencies kind of coming together seven days
Speaker 2: and going out trying to stop the violent crime, all
Speaker 2: kinds of stuff. So we're out here contacting people talking
Speaker 2: to him, right fall your life offenses, smoking, drinking the
Speaker 2: public right, can't happen to the outside.
Speaker 1: The officiousness in the heavy hand is nothing compared to
Speaker 1: the jackboot that's coming down. Because what Donald Trump is
Speaker 1: preparing in the interior of the United States is to
Speaker 1: allow MAGA states to volunteer their national guards for federal
Speaker 1: service in the US Army to be deployed to democratic
Speaker 1: led states and cities, functionally as an occupying force abroad.
Speaker 1: The United States is turning its back on its historic
Speaker 1: commitment to human rights, the concept of human dignity, the
Speaker 1: idea that each of us is sacred, each human being
Speaker 1: made in the image of God. We are abandoning our
Speaker 1: most noble principles. And while that is happening, Washington is
Speaker 1: a wash in a rising tide of corruption unprecedented in
Speaker 1: the history of the country. Donald Trump is assembling a
Speaker 1: police state and an ice army and prisons all over
Speaker 1: the country where human beings are being abused and denied
Speaker 1: their basic rights, and perhaps the most un American abuse
Speaker 1: of power since the interment of Japanese Americans in the
Speaker 1: Second World War. What we're seeing being done to Hispanic citizens,
Speaker 1: the fear that is being stoked by massed agents who
Speaker 1: indiscriminately can show up at a school, at a work site,
Speaker 1: in a car wash with weapons ready they fired into
Speaker 1: a car this weekend, is terrifying people. And that's the point.
Speaker 1: Fear is a most powerful weapon. And Donald Trump is
Speaker 1: trying to say something, something that he admires, something that
Speaker 1: he's learned from Vladimir Putin, which is that people can
Speaker 1: do whatever they want so long as they stay in
Speaker 1: line and let Donald take whatever he wants, have whatever
Speaker 1: he wants, and do whatever he wants to whomever he wants,
Speaker 1: because Donald is the law, and what Donald says goes.
Speaker 1: This is a man filled with malice who's been threatening
Speaker 1: the country for ten long years. Masked agents in American cities,
Speaker 1: the army establishing checkpoints on America's streets, deployed against the
Speaker 1: people and the government of the people, by the people
Speaker 1: for the people that they swore an oath to preserve.
Speaker 1: What we're seeing is sectionalism, the abuse of one part
Speaker 1: of the country by a political faction under a leader
Speaker 1: who says, let's get rid of the checks and balances,
Speaker 1: let's get rid of the sharing of power and trade
Speaker 1: it in for one man rule. There's nobody see that.
Speaker 1: This man is naked before us, with his swollen ankles,
Speaker 1: incoherent his best friend, the most victorious pedophile of the
Speaker 1: twenty first century, the files that he is covering up
Speaker 1: this loathsome criminal as the president of the United States.
Speaker 1: And what he has done this August and what he
Speaker 1: will do on this day, the eighteenth of August, is
Speaker 1: lay the foundation for suffering in the world that is
Speaker 1: beyond imagination for most Americans. What he will do this
Speaker 1: day is dishonor the United States. And what he will
Speaker 1: do this day is lay a foundation for a terrible
Speaker 1: war to come, an unnecessary war, Trump's war, while this
Speaker 1: bombastic buffoon publicly campaigns for a Nobel Peace prize. This man,
Speaker 1: I want to be tyrant, a dime store. Mussolini is
Speaker 1: going to look the democratically elected leader of a nation
Speaker 1: dead in the eye and tell them the United States
Speaker 1: stands with the Russian invader. It is a tragedy. It
Speaker 1: is a day of shame or another day in America.
Speaker 1: But what will happen today will reverberate for a very
Speaker 1: very long time to come. This is the warning. I'm
Speaker 1: Steve Schmidt. This is the warning. I invite you to
Speaker 1: join this community where I promise 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
Speaker 1: on substack. Thank you.
