Speaker 1: In doing this, we appeal to Almighty God, just as
Speaker 1: our forefathers did. George Washington, the founder of the War Department,
Speaker 1: appealed to God's providence during every step of our improbable revolution,
Speaker 1: on prayer, on bended knee, on the battlefield. Ron Reagan
Speaker 1: did the same, appealing to Heaven is the world hung
Speaker 1: in the balance? We do the same today, with Jesus
Speaker 1: Christ as our God. May He grant us the wisdom
Speaker 1: to see what is right and the courage to do it.
Speaker 1: May God bless our warriors, and may God bless our
Speaker 1: great Republic.
Speaker 2: Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hagsath appeared at the Reagan Library,
Speaker 2: and while there he talked about the reason why one
Speaker 2: million Americans gave what Abraham Lincoln called the last full
Speaker 2: measure of devotion to the Republic. Here's the question. Did
Speaker 2: those men die like Pete Hagsath said, for Jesus Christ,
Speaker 2: they did not. It is Tuesday, December the ninth. This
Speaker 2: is the morning the Secretary of War Crimes is profoundly
Speaker 2: unfit to lead America's military. And though he stood up
Speaker 2: at the Reagan Library and tried to claim the mantle
Speaker 2: of a Republican president, that believed in peace through strength.
Speaker 2: He failed. There's a simple reason for that. Ronald Reagan
Speaker 2: knew a drunk when he saw one. His father would
Speaker 2: be passed out on the steps when Ronald Reagan and
Speaker 2: Dixon Illinois would step over him and root into the
Speaker 2: inside of his boyhood home. Ronald Reagan didn't like degenerates,
Speaker 2: and never ever would he have put one in command
Speaker 2: of the US military. Never ever would he have put
Speaker 2: a man like Pete Hegsath in the chain of command
Speaker 2: for the release of nuclear weapons. No serious person who
Speaker 2: was born in nineteen eleven, who witnessed World War Two
Speaker 2: like Ronald Reagan did, would have ever entrusted Pete Hegseath
Speaker 2: with any responsibility. He is an untreated psychiatric patient, married
Speaker 2: three times, accused of abuse by his former wives. He's
Speaker 2: a man who jumped up on a table and yelled
Speaker 2: in front of his colleagues at a nonprofit Kill all
Speaker 2: the Muslims. Pete Hegsath couldn't run a five million dollar charity.
Speaker 2: He is a literal version, real life of the Humphrey
Speaker 2: Bogard character Captain Quig on a search for who stole
Speaker 2: the strawberries. Pete Hegseth is paranoid. Pete hegsath is giving
Speaker 2: members of his team polygraphs searching for the hidden traders
Speaker 2: around him, like Hitler might have done, or Stalin insecure, paranoid,
Speaker 2: somebody whose ethos is don't blame me, It's not my fault.
Speaker 2: It must be the private. Ronald Reagan would have despised
Speaker 2: Pete Hegxa. The man who said this, would not have
Speaker 2: supported the carving up of a democratic nation between corrupt
Speaker 2: administration officials and their Russian counterparts.
Speaker 3: Yes, let us pray for the salvation of all of
Speaker 3: those who live in that totalitarian darkness. Pray they will
Speaker 3: discover the joy of knowing God. But until they do,
Speaker 3: let us be aware that while they preach the supremacy
Speaker 3: of the state, declare its omnipotence over individual man, and
Speaker 3: predict its eventual domination of all peoples on the earth,
Speaker 3: they are the focus of evil in the modern world.
Speaker 3: It was C. S. Lewis who, in his Unforgettable screw
Speaker 3: Tape Letters wrote, the greatest evil is not done now
Speaker 3: in those sordid dens of crime love to paint. It
Speaker 3: is not even done in concentration camps and labor camps.
Speaker 3: In those we see its final result. But it is
Speaker 3: conceived and ordered, moved, seconded, carried, and minuted in clear, carpeted, warmed,
Speaker 3: and well lighted offices by quiet men with white collars
Speaker 3: and cut fingernails and smooth shaven cheeks, who do not
Speaker 3: need to raise their voice. But because these quiet men
Speaker 3: do not raise their voices, because they sometimes speak in
Speaker 3: soothing tones of brotherhood in peace, Because like other dictators
Speaker 3: before them, they're always making their final territorial demand, some
Speaker 3: would have us accept them at their word and accommodate
Speaker 3: ourselves to their aggressive impulses.
Speaker 2: The man who said this about the honor of the
Speaker 2: US military would not approve of murder on the high seats.
Speaker 3: Two hundred and twenty five came here after two days
Speaker 3: of fighting, only ninety could still bear arms. Behind me
Speaker 3: is a memorial that symbolizes the ranger daggers that were
Speaker 3: thrust into the top of these cliffs. And before me
Speaker 3: are the men who put them there. These are the
Speaker 3: boys of Puentejoe. These are the men who took the cliffs.
Speaker 3: These are the champions who helped free a continent. These
Speaker 3: are the heroes who helped end a war. Gentlemen, I
Speaker 3: look at you, and I think of the words of
Speaker 3: Stephen Spender's poem. You were men who, in your quote lives,
Speaker 3: fought for life and lift left the vivid air signed
Speaker 3: with your honor. I think I know what you may
Speaker 3: be thinking right now, thinking we were just part of
Speaker 3: a bigger effort. Everyone was brave that day, well, everyone was.
Speaker 2: The man who said this about immigration would not approve
Speaker 2: of the overt racism and the cruelty inherent in so
Speaker 2: many of Pete Hagsas's public pronouncements.
Speaker 3: You can go to live in France, but you cannot
Speaker 3: become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany,
Speaker 3: or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German,
Speaker 3: a Turk or Japanese. But anyone from any corner of
Speaker 3: of the earth can come to live in America and
Speaker 3: become an American. Yes, the torch of Lady Liberty symbolizes
Speaker 3: our freedom and represents our heritage, the compact with our parents,
Speaker 3: our grandparents, and our ancestors. It is that lady who
Speaker 3: gives us our great and special place in the world.
Speaker 3: For it's the great life force of each generation of
Speaker 3: new Americans that guarantees that America's triumph shall continue unsurpassed
Speaker 3: into the next century and beyond. Other countries may seek
Speaker 3: to compete with us, but in one vital area, as
Speaker 3: a beacon of freedom and opportunity that draws the people
Speaker 3: of the world, no country on Earth comes close. This,
Speaker 3: I believe is one of the most important sources of
Speaker 3: America's greatness. We lead the world because, unique among nations,
Speaker 3: we draw our people, our strength from every country and
Speaker 3: every corner of the world, and by doing so, we
Speaker 3: continuously renew and enrich our nation. While other countries cling
Speaker 3: to the stale past. Here in America we breathe life
Speaker 3: into dreams, We create the future, and the world follows
Speaker 3: us into tomorrow. Thanks to each wave of new arrivals
Speaker 3: to this land of opportunity, we're a nation forever young,
Speaker 3: forever bursting with energy and new ideas, and always on
Speaker 3: the cutting edge, all leading the world to the next frontier.
Speaker 3: This quality is vital to our future as a nation.
Speaker 3: If we ever closed the door to new Americans, our
Speaker 3: leadership in the world would soon be lost.
Speaker 2: Ronald Wragan revered the American military, and he entrusted to
Speaker 2: its stewardship for eight years as commander in chief, did
Speaker 2: not abuse it, did not politicize it, and never did
Speaker 2: the things that Trump is doing. Ronald Reagan was a
Speaker 2: man of strong convictions and opinions, who respected his political opponents.
Speaker 2: When he was shot and lay near death, his friend,
Speaker 2: his opponent, the great Democratic Speaker of the House, Tip O'Neil,
Speaker 2: broke into tears and got on his knees and prayed
Speaker 2: for him. America is a country born from revolution. One
Speaker 2: million Americans have given what Lincoln called the last full
Speaker 2: measure of devotion. And no, they didn't do it for Jesus.
Speaker 2: They did it for the constitution of the United States
Speaker 2: of America. They did it for the Union. They did
Speaker 2: it for their descendants so they could live in liberty
Speaker 2: and freedom. What Pete Hagseth said is sick, and that
Speaker 2: he said it at Ronald Reagan's library in front of
Speaker 2: the people who tend to its memory is also sick.
Speaker 2: In the end, if Ronald Reagan was here, he'd be
Speaker 2: the first guy out there in the Republican Party calling
Speaker 2: all of this out. And not in a million years
Speaker 2: would he have ever been afraid of Trump, nor would
Speaker 2: he have ever gotten on his knees. This is the warning.
Speaker 2: I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning. I invite you
Speaker 2: to join this community, where I promise to be honest,
Speaker 2: blunt and direct about what is happening in this country.
Speaker 2: America is in crisis. Follow and subscribe to this channel
Speaker 2: and on sub stack. Thank you.
