1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 1: Today, Donald Trump is in Washington, d C. The city 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 1: named for the first president of the United States. This 3 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,959 Speaker 1: is Washington. This is the city that has risen up 4 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 1: these monuments of remembrance. All of that is the backdrop 5 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 1: today when the fascist Donald Trump returns to Washington, d C. 6 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:25,960 Speaker 1: To be surrounded by an epic sycophancy. When he is there, 7 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: the boot liquors will surround him in the ecstasy. They 8 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 1: will praise and worship him. Like Marjorie Taylor Green. This 9 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 1: is the Maga Party, the extremest party. It is filled 10 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: with accused criminals, corrupt individuals, weirdos of a profound dimension. 11 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Green and Matt Gates and Lauren Bober and 12 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: the whole gang. This is Trump's fascist movement, backed by 13 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: violent thugs. And they are there for an organizational meeting. 14 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: And the purpose of that meeting is power, political power. 15 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: It is June the thirteenth, twenty twenty four, one day 16 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,680 Speaker 1: away from Flag Day. What is it that the American 17 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: flag stands for? What does it mean to you? It 18 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,759 Speaker 1: certainly means something to the alitos. Martha Ann and her 19 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: husband who desecrated and choose to fly a flag that 20 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: has been co opted tragically as a symbol of political 21 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: extremism as opposed to revolutionary defiance in favor of liberty. 22 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: Liberty is on the ballot this November one hundred and 23 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: forty five days from now, the American people will vote 24 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: America or Trump. This is the warning. Donald Trump is 25 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: a fascist who does not believe in elections, restraints on 26 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: his power, or the morality of dissent in a democratic society. 27 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: President Franklin Roosevelt once told Treasury Secretary Robert Morgenthaw that 28 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: if he died in his sleep, he wanted his friend 29 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: to tell the whole world that he thought Charles Limberg 30 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: was a Nazi. Limberg was certainly a sympathizer. The America 31 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 1: First Movement was a veritable fifth column of fascist menace, 32 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 1: and American Nazis were packing Madison Square Garden in nineteen 33 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: thirty eight. After Pearl Harbor, the movement faded and was discredited, 34 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: but its remnant always remained, like an ember under the ash, 35 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: hot burning ready to like. Fascism has risen in America again. 36 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: It is on the ballot, and it must be better understood. 37 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: We must call it by its name. Donald Trump stands 38 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 1: now for an Unamerican and evil proposition, and it is this. 39 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: He is the state, and the state is him. He 40 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: is the truth, and the truth is him. It is 41 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: the most corrupt form of government human history, and it 42 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: is the deadliest. Donald Trump is the leader of an 43 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: American fascist movement that has laid out a specific authoritarian 44 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: playbook that will assert absolute power and the right to 45 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: control what it pleases and take what it wants. The 46 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: evidence of this is everywhere. The proud voice, the seditious, 47 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 1: dangerous street thugs. Trump's militia are recruiting and growing. Do 48 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: you remember what Donald Trump said at the debate stand 49 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: back and stand by? Do you remember the proud boy 50 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: violence of January sixth? The right wing propagandists are calling 51 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: for political opponents to be locked up, leading candidates to 52 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: be Trump's vice president all must pledge to act exactly 53 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: opposite Mike Pence. At the moment of truth. The threats 54 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: are growing louder now and sharper. Donald Trump is a fascist. 55 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: That's what makes him a bad American, and it's what 56 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: makes his political movement Unamerican. I'll say it lightly. He 57 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: is what he is because he has told us what 58 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: he is with his own words and deeds and actions 59 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: and threats a thousand times. President Biden must look him 60 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: in the eye and say it directly. President Biden must 61 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: stand tall for the United States of America.

The city named for the 64 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: first president of the United States. The center of the 65 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 1: federal capital is dominated by the tall subject of the Skyline, 66 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: the monument made for the man who walked away from power. 67 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: Not far from it is Capitol Hill, the House Chambers 68 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: and the chambers of the United States Senate, and the 69 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 1: Great Dome that Abraham Lincoln insisted be built during the 70 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 1: height of Civil War. These structures the Washington Monument and 71 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: the White House, the home of president since John Adams. 72 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 1: These marble buildings were constructed by the hands of slaves 73 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: in the beginning, but in time an American president walked 74 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: through the front doors of the White House as the 75 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: head of state, as commander in chief, because of the 76 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: work of other founding fathers who were memorialized on the mall, 77 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: men like Martin Luther King, who told the country that 78 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: it was time to embrace its promise to do what 79 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 1: it said it believed with the words it had put 80 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: on paper. This is Washington. This is the city that 81 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: has risen up these monuments of remembrance that stretched back 82 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: from that house all the way back to the Capitol 83 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 1: where there is General Grant, the eighteenth President of the 84 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: United States. Connected all together the story of America laid 85 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: out from the African American History Museum to the Holocaust Memorial, 86 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: to the Aviation Museum that highlights the story of adventure 87 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 1: that plays out in the twentieth century, to the buildings 88 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: that house our eternal documents, the ones that talk about life, liberty, 89 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: and the pursuit of happiness, the ones that talk about 90 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: in order to form a more perfect union. All of 91 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 1: that is the backdrop today when the fascist Donald Trump 92 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 1: returns to Washington, d c. To be surrounded by an 93 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: epic sycophancy. When he is there, the boot liquors will 94 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 1: surround him in the ecstasy. They will praise and worship him. 95 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: Like Marjorie Taylor Green, this is the Maga Party, the 96 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: extremist party. It is filled with accused criminals, corrupt individuals, 97 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 1: weirdos of a profound dimension. Marjorie Taylor Green and Matt 98 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: Gates and Lauren Bober and a whole gang. This is 99 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: Trump's fascist movement, backed by violent thugs, and they are 100 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: there for an organizational meeting, and the purpose of that 101 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: meeting is power, political power. No matter what the American 102 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: people decide, they have all said Trump cannot lose because 103 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: losing is evidence evidence of a rigged election. There are 104 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: no more fair elections in America, you see, because elections 105 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: require good faith, and fascists strangle good faith in democracy. 106 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: And the good faith is gone now. And so there 107 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: is one party such as it is, and it is 108 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: an organized conspiracy to take political power away from the 109 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: people into the hands of Trump and his cronies. We 110 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: must say no to this before there can be reform 111 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: and renewal in America, before the next generation can take 112 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: the reins and make it better. The American people must 113 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: come together in disagreement behind the only man on the 114 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: ballot who can stop this plague, this menace, this resurgent fascism, 115 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: and that man is the President of the United States, 116 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. Perfection is not on the ballot. Joe Biden, 117 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: in a sense, is not on the ballot. What is 118 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: on the ballot is Maga. This is a question that 119 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: is now at hand. It has been nine years in 120 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: the making, and we must make a choice. And that 121 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: choice is America or Maga, America or Trump. It's as 122 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: simple as that. The future tomorrow and the next day 123 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,959 Speaker 1: and the next day offer a chance over the next 124 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: one hundred and forty five days to stop this cold 125 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: and forever. But after that, if it takes power, there 126 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,599 Speaker 1: will be a crisis in this country of enormous magnitude, 127 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: because our rights that we take for granted will be 128 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 1: endangered overnight by a man who will do everything he 129 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 1: can to become a tyrant, to make you fear him, 130 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 1: to control what can be said about him. It's a 131 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 1: frightening proposition. It should be taken seriously. This is the warning. 132 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: One hundred and forty five days to go. I'm Steve Schmidt. 133 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: This is the warning, and I invite you to join. 134 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: Subscribe on our substack, on our YouTube channel, follow us. 135 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:31,439 Speaker 1: Welcome to the community.
