WEBVTT - Clay Higgins Tweet Shows MAGA's True Colors

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:04.760
<v Speaker 1>The magic number is forty forty days left until the

0:00:04.760 --> 0:00:09.360
<v Speaker 1>American people decide whether to restore Donald Trump to the

0:00:09.400 --> 0:00:12.719
<v Speaker 1>Oval Office or whether the country goes in a new direction,

0:00:13.200 --> 0:00:18.319
<v Speaker 1>whether it goes forward and ends this terrible era. This

0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:22.919
<v Speaker 1>is the warning. Over these last few weeks, I have

0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:26.840
<v Speaker 1>talked about the growing danger facing the country and have

0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:31.880
<v Speaker 1>connected it to the rising menace of Donald Trump's losing campaign,

0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:38.159
<v Speaker 1>which is decomposing, disorganized, and spiraling. Donald Trump is an

0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:42.720
<v Speaker 1>American fascist, and Donald Trump has tried to stifle speech

0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:47.120
<v Speaker 1>about that core fact in this issue by frightening people,

0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:52.519
<v Speaker 1>by threatening people, by promising retribution, by committing to locking

0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:56.760
<v Speaker 1>people up. Donald Trump has one sick person who supports him.

0:00:57.000 --> 0:01:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you've heard about him. He's the leader of Project

0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:04.640
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty five, and he shocked his colleagues when he

0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:08.480
<v Speaker 1>was a university professor by talking about how he killed

0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:11.959
<v Speaker 1>the neighbor's dog by beating it to death. That's who

0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:15.960
<v Speaker 1>these people are. Stephen Miller, who in the Oval Office

0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:19.120
<v Speaker 1>in front of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,

0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:23.520
<v Speaker 1>wondered if the US Navy could kill a boat full

0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:27.399
<v Speaker 1>of Mexican migrants off the coast of San Diego. There's

0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:32.959
<v Speaker 1>so much insanity, so much hypocrisy, so much stupidity, that

0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 1>sometimes when you hear a clarifying question, it's thrilling. In

0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:42.399
<v Speaker 1>this moment of the lowest trust levels ever recorded for

0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:46.000
<v Speaker 1>the American media, which on a day to day basis

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:50.680
<v Speaker 1>is as abominable as Maga itself. But here's a great

0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:55.360
<v Speaker 1>question to the Ohio fascist and political arsonist and heroin

0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:56.960
<v Speaker 1>dealer JD. Vance.

0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:00.520
<v Speaker 2>Trump says, it's too late to debate because voting as areastard.

0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:01.640
<v Speaker 1>It's bat from America.

0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:03.560
<v Speaker 3>You're set to debate walls on Tuesday.

0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Does that mean your debate is bad for America?

0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:21.200
<v Speaker 4>Well, look, look, first of all, the president already did

0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:22.440
<v Speaker 4>a debate, and I thought he did a hell of

0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:23.760
<v Speaker 4>a job. How did you guys think it?

0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:31.840
<v Speaker 1>In No, Trump degraded the debate. We all remember right.

0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:36.600
<v Speaker 2>In Springfield, they're eating the dogs, the people that came in.

0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:41.680
<v Speaker 2>They're eating the cats, they're they're eating the pets of

0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:43.680
<v Speaker 2>the people that live there.

0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Over and over again. I've talked about why this issue

0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:51.520
<v Speaker 1>with the Haitians is such a big deal. It's not

0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:55.640
<v Speaker 1>about immigration policy. It's about right and wrong. It's about

0:02:55.639 --> 0:03:02.200
<v Speaker 1>indecency versus decency. It's about patriotism versus fascism. It's about

0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:10.480
<v Speaker 1>kindness versus cruelty, It's about honesty versus demagoguery. Because in Springfield, Ohio,

0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:14.040
<v Speaker 1>there's a battle waging in the ether between the lie

0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:18.280
<v Speaker 1>and the truth. Because the truth is, those Haitians in

0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:25.079
<v Speaker 1>Springfield are there l g a llly legally. They are

0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:31.280
<v Speaker 1>legally in Springfield. And the Republican governor, a vacillating man

0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 1>and a peaser who continues to support Trump, has begged

0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Trump to stop his attacks that have sieged a city

0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:45.120
<v Speaker 1>just like the community where you live. Except for the

0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:49.000
<v Speaker 1>state police, probably don't have to guard your schools and

0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:53.160
<v Speaker 1>your hospitals which are locked down and shut down because

0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:58.400
<v Speaker 1>of the bomb threats instigated by the malice of America's

0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:05.440
<v Speaker 1>MAGA fashion Politicians like Congressman Clay Higgins. This is what

0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:11.280
<v Speaker 1>this sick congressman from Louisiana said. Here is what a

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 1>man who calls himself a good Christian said about these people,

0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:23.520
<v Speaker 1>the Haitian immigrants legally in Springfield, Ohio, a state and

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:27.919
<v Speaker 1>a community that he doesn't represent. But what he did

0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 1>was to make clear that from him, those people aren't

0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 1>safe because he has power and he's coming for them.

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:41.480
<v Speaker 1>His colleagues, well, they were a guest, so they went

0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:44.120
<v Speaker 1>to him on the house floor and got on them.

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Because most normal Americans are repelled by this, because they

0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:55.159
<v Speaker 1>appreciate how repugnant it is. But when we talk about repugnancy,

0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 1>the issue isn't the act, it's always the response to it.

0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:04.120
<v Speaker 1>So here we have the magas speaker. Mike Johnson, the

0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:07.480
<v Speaker 1>man who believes that people in dinosaurs lived together five

0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:11.920
<v Speaker 1>thousand years ago, tried to expulcate his friend, his colleague,

0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:16.360
<v Speaker 1>his fellow Louisiana and from the whole racially menacing thing.

0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:18.760
<v Speaker 3>I heard about that on the floor just now as well.

0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:20.680
<v Speaker 3>Clay Higgins is a dear friend of mine and a

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:24.719
<v Speaker 3>colleague from Louisiana and a very frank and outspoken person.

0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:28.080
<v Speaker 3>He's also a very principal man. And I think he tweeted.

0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:29.679
<v Speaker 3>I don't I didn't even see it, but he tweeted

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:33.560
<v Speaker 3>something today about Haitians, and he was he was he

0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:38.160
<v Speaker 3>was approached, well, look, he was approached on the floor

0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:40.359
<v Speaker 3>by colleagues who said that was offensive. He went to

0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:42.000
<v Speaker 3>the back. I just talked him about it, he said.

0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:43.800
<v Speaker 3>He went to the back and he prayed about it,

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:45.920
<v Speaker 3>and he regretted it, and he pulled the post down.

0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:48.080
<v Speaker 3>That's what you want a gentleman to do. I'm sure

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.000
<v Speaker 3>he probably regrets some of the language he used, but

0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:52.760
<v Speaker 3>you know, we move forward. We believe in redemption around here.

0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:56.720
<v Speaker 1>He prayed about it, he prayed about it. What did

0:05:56.760 --> 0:06:01.000
<v Speaker 1>he pray about? Oh, I forgot. It's a maga prayer.

0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:06.240
<v Speaker 1>That's different than normal prayer. Normal prayer usually takes place

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:09.760
<v Speaker 1>in a communion between a person and a god, has

0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:13.440
<v Speaker 1>no politics involved. That's not a maga prayer. So when

0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:16.760
<v Speaker 1>he prayed about it, he was probably praying to Pastor Paula,

0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Trump's spiritual advisor.

0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:23.560
<v Speaker 5>The Lord says, it is done for I hear victory, victory, victory,

0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:29.880
<v Speaker 5>victory in the corners of heaven, in the corners of heaven, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory,

0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:33.080
<v Speaker 5>victory for angels of being released. Right now, angels are

0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:34.200
<v Speaker 5>being dispatched right.

0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:35.520
<v Speaker 2>Now, Amanda.

0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:43.000
<v Speaker 5>Santa anc Satata Rita Eamanda Alda Rica dd yah Shadda.

0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:47.080
<v Speaker 5>For angels have even dispatch from Africa right now, Africa,

0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:49.720
<v Speaker 5>right now, Africa right now from Africa right now.

0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Wow, and speaking of heaven in Africa, I guess I

0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:57.240
<v Speaker 1>know that it was the angels that brought Mark Robinson,

0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.520
<v Speaker 1>the Black Nazi, from North Carolina to that New to

0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Africa site. This election is not about issues. It's not

0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:10.280
<v Speaker 1>about whether you think that Kamala Harris is write about

0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:13.320
<v Speaker 1>what she thinks the tax rate should be. It's about

0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:17.000
<v Speaker 1>the preservation of the Union and our way of life

0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:21.720
<v Speaker 1>and protecting all of our futures which are bound together

0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:26.360
<v Speaker 1>from a menacing force that has promised to do most

0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:31.720
<v Speaker 1>terrible things. Stanley McCrystal was the American commander of coalition

0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:37.200
<v Speaker 1>forces in Afghanistan. Stanley mccrystal's a retired American general who

0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:41.360
<v Speaker 1>was relieved of command because of comments he made that

0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:46.200
<v Speaker 1>disparaged Barack Obama that were reported in Rolling Stone by

0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:50.160
<v Speaker 1>a reporter who was assigned to cover him. Again. General

0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:55.920
<v Speaker 1>McCrystal was relieved of command for insubordination towards the commander

0:07:55.960 --> 0:08:01.000
<v Speaker 1>in chief, Barack Obama. General McCrystal did something that Mitt

0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:06.040
<v Speaker 1>Romney hasn't done, that George W. Bush hasn't done. Stanley

0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:10.160
<v Speaker 1>McCrystal has recognized that this is not a time where

0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:16.080
<v Speaker 1>indifference is tolerable, that leaders must take a stand, and

0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:21.920
<v Speaker 1>that leaders have to communicate the essential quality. The only

0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:26.320
<v Speaker 1>one that matters in the office of president is character.

0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Trump has none whatsoever. He is a brutal nihilist, a

0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:39.400
<v Speaker 1>merciless narcissist. He is an insurrectionist, a convicted criminal and

0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:45.040
<v Speaker 1>adjudicated rapist, a con man who does not care about

0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:49.880
<v Speaker 1>you and is not on your side. Trump is a

0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:54.240
<v Speaker 1>moral infant. Trump is a disaster, and we will have

0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:58.640
<v Speaker 1>catastrophe as a people in a country forty days from now.

0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:02.560
<v Speaker 1>He must be reputing. The voting is started. The time

0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:07.360
<v Speaker 1>to do something is running short. Get involved, volunteer, make

0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:12.720
<v Speaker 1>phone calls, donate, knock on doors. This election is existential,

0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:16.600
<v Speaker 1>have no doubt about that. It's become cliche because the

0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.720
<v Speaker 1>stakes have been so high with Trump for the last decade,

0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:22.360
<v Speaker 1>and we won't see a return to some specter of

0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:27.400
<v Speaker 1>normalcy when elections aren't existential, but a continuation of policy

0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:31.880
<v Speaker 1>debates between two opposing parties committed to democracy. But we

0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:35.120
<v Speaker 1>don't live in that country anymore. Maybe that's why Mitt

0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Romney has chosen to stay on the sidelines in this

0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:42.679
<v Speaker 1>election to choose indifference, to try to hide because he's

0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.840
<v Speaker 1>afraid to speak out. When our United States senators are

0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:49.120
<v Speaker 1>afraid to speak out, when our media is afraid to

0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:52.840
<v Speaker 1>speak out, when our writers are afraid, when our artists

0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:56.520
<v Speaker 1>are afraid, when people talk about what the punishment for

0:09:56.720 --> 0:10:00.240
<v Speaker 1>dissent will be. The question is fair to ask, do

0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:03.760
<v Speaker 1>we live in a free country anymore? And remember, their

0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:07.520
<v Speaker 1>fear is just on the premise that he could come

0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:11.480
<v Speaker 1>back to power. This Hatian's eating pets is a big

0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:15.200
<v Speaker 1>story because it's the contours of a great battlefield where

0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:17.800
<v Speaker 1>the lie and the truth have been long engaged, and

0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:22.800
<v Speaker 1>democracy can't survive in the darkness, where there's no room

0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:26.440
<v Speaker 1>for truth and only the lie can spread. That's the

0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:31.400
<v Speaker 1>morning forty days left, forty days that define the balance

0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:34.480
<v Speaker 1>of the twenty first century for the American people. We

0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:38.600
<v Speaker 1>are at the fork in the road. I'm Steve Schmidt.

0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:41.000
