1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:01,760
Speaker 1: This is the warning.

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 2: Free speech is foundational. It is elemental to the American

3
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 2: way of life. Without free speech, no other freedom is possible.

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 2: It is the foundation of conscience, the right to believe

5
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 2: what you believe is right, and the right to apply it,

6
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 2: to speak it, to shout it from the rooftop. Every

7
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 2: society that has ever tried to control the people, that

8
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 2: has sought to stifle freedom, has done so by making

9
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 2: information illegal, by criminalizing laughter. In occupied France, having a

10
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: radio that could be tuned to the BBC was a

11
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: death penalty offense. Imagine living in a pit of blackness,

12
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 2: darkness where it is impossible to know that there is

13
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 2: light at all, let alone what direction is up or down,

14
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 2: or left or right?

15
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: What is real? What is not only darkness?

16
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: Books, knowledge, scientific inquiry, rock and roll. All of it

17
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: is utterly dependent on the freedom of speech. And the

18
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: freedom of speech at the core is the foundation of

19
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 2: the great American faith, and our faith is liberty.

20
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: There is something that must be said.

21
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 2: I will defend the right to the death if necessary,

22
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 2: of my fiercest opponent to speak out with regard to

23
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: what it is that they believe.

24
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: But it must also be said that a great Many

25
00:01:59,720 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: of the.

26
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 2: Those opponents would happily see me and people like me

27
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: silenced or put up against the wall, maybe to keep

28
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: us from saying out loud that we must be free

29
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: and no compromise is possible with regards to these issues.

30
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 2: And the pronouncements of political ackeys like Brandon Carr, a preaming, officious,

31
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 2: out of control bureaucrat, how dare he tried to prescribe

32
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 2: what it is headed in America?

33
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: We're allowed to laugh.

34
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 2: At to gain favor with his boss at Mara a Lago.

35
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 2: Understand that Brandon Carr, a weakling, is a little likeman.

36
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 2: And in Trump's autocratic Mara a Lago system of government,

37
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 2: there is a line of sycophants in single file, and

38
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 2: each of them has in their hand a knife for

39
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 2: the back in front of them, and all of them

40
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: have eyes in the back of their heads for the

41
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 2: knife in the hand behind them by their treacherous rivals,

42
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 2: all of them competing to move forward a step, a

43
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 2: chair in the Mara Lagos squid games to move ever

44
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 2: closer to Trump. So maybe someday you can be like

45
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 2: Lindsey Halligan and appointed to a prosecutor's office for a

46
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 2: few years before your inevitable disbarment over the abuse of

47
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 2: your power. And that's what we are seeing, and that's

48
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 2: what we are watching, abuses of power and abuses of

49
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 2: the American people. And when it came to the United

50
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: Nations yesterday, the abuse of an escalator by one of

51
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 2: Trump's many cameramen riseing the dictators has sent up the

52
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: escalator that he would go on to denounce as one

53
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 2: of his most fearsome foes.

54
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 3: Well, there was some concerning reporting over the weekend from

55
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 3: the London Times, as you pointed out, that un globalist

56
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 3: staffers were basically plotting to set up the President of

57
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 3: the United States. And first it was the escalator, then

58
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 3: it was the teleprompter, and then Katie Pavlich from town Hall,

59
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 3: who we offered a seat in the press pool to

60
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 3: cover the president's historic speech today, noticed that the audio

61
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 3: inside of the room was much lower and different for

62
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 3: the President of the United States than the previous speakers.

63
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 3: So when you put all of this together, it doesn't

64
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 3: look like a coincidence to me. And I know that

65
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 3: we have people, including the United States Secret Service, who

66
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 3: are looking into this to try to get to the

67
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 3: bottom of it. And if we find that these were

68
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 3: you and staffers who were purposefully trying to trip up,

69
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 3: literally trip up the President and the first Lady of

70
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 3: the United States, well they're better be accountability for those people,

71
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 3: and I will personally see to it.

72
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 2: Just good. And so it was that Donald appeared before

73
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 2: the United Nations and Donald Trump delivered his message and

74
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 2: disgraced his country. When you think about what's happening, one

75
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: need look no further than the last hundred hours. Donald

76
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 2: Trump's announcement of his hatreds.

77
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 4: He did not hate his opponents. He wanted the best

78
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 4: for them. That's where I disagreed with Charlie. I hate

79
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 4: my opponent and I don't want the best for them.

80
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 4: I'm sorry. I am sorry Erica.

81
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 2: But now Erica can talk to me and the whole

82
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 2: good and maybe they can convince me that that's not right.

83
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 4: But I can't stand my opponent.

84
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 2: And what a job they did on Jimmy Kimmel summarizing

85
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 2: his position on Tylanol with the goofball Robert Kennedy standing

86
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 2: behind him. Donald Trump before the United Nations was a

87
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 2: crude exposition in the worst of the American character. There

88
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: he stood alongside his rotten wife, the ugly Americans. She

89
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 2: the ice cold, plasticized Slovenian, and he the orange tinted Nero,

90
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 2: the rottenness couple in the history of America, to hold

91
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 2: a position of responsibility and power in front of the world,

92
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 2: disgracing the oldest Republic, the creation of Washington and Adams

93
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,679
Speaker 2: and Jefferson and Hamilton and Lafayette and so many more,

94
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 2: defiling it with each breath.

95
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: And there they were.

96
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,799
Speaker 2: The lowest of the low, the most rotten fruit ever

97
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 2: born by the American tree of liberty. Their lies spewed forth,

98
00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:01,119
Speaker 2: and the world's leaders sat silent. Needed to be said,

99
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 2: what could be said? In the end, Donald Trump demands

100
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 2: that we bow to him, and for many of us,

101
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 2: our conscience says never, and it instructs us to speak

102
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 2: out and to denounce him and his sick and twisted

103
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 2: ideas that are an American. And no matter what he says,

104
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 2: no matter if Christy Nolan labels that position terrorism, no

105
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 2: matter what any Trump thug declares, no matter what jackboot

106
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 2: or how many he seeks to bring down, there is

107
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 2: nothing that can take away my right as an American

108
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 2: to speak out against him and them. And this not now,

109
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 2: not tomorrow, not yesterday, not ever. And that is something

110
00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 2: that we should be deeply grateful for because even though

111
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 2: we have that right, it doesn't mean they won't try

112
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 2: to take it away. But they can't and they won't,

113
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 2: and the attempt will be there, undoing. And today that

114
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 2: is the warning for MAGA. Free speech in America is

115
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 2: not at your whim and it is not up for debate.

116
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 2: I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning. I invite you

117
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 2: to join this community where I promise to be honest,

118
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,480

00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 2: America is in crisis. Follow and subscribe to this channel
