Speaker 1: It is Monday, the twenty fifth of August, and the
Speaker 1: curfew in Washington, d C, the capital of the Home
Speaker 1: of the Free and the land of the brave, is
Speaker 1: eleven pm.
Speaker 2: This is the warning.
Speaker 1: It does reason to ask what happens if you want
Speaker 1: to be out after eleven pm, Like if you wanted
Speaker 1: to walk your dog, or even God forbid, get a
Speaker 1: slice of pizza or even a beer. No, Donald Trump
Speaker 1: and Pete Hagsath and Christy Nome and Cash Patel don't approve,
Speaker 1: and so they have to creed that no American shall
Speaker 1: go outside after eleven pm so that we can be
Speaker 1: great again and Washington can be crime free. Which again
Speaker 1: I bring it back, but what if you want a
Speaker 1: slice of pizza?
Speaker 3: I'm very concerned about that, And not only that, I'm
Speaker 3: concerned about the way he is rolling that out in Washington,
Speaker 3: d C, which is essentially called essentially going after young
Speaker 3: black and brown youth in Washington, d C. Imposing a curfew,
Speaker 3: saying that if they violate the curfew, the parents could
Speaker 3: be charged five hundred dollars, saying that the kids could
Speaker 3: be detained and arrested. We've tried those policies before, they
Speaker 3: do not work. And it's my understanding that crime was
Speaker 3: going down in Washington, DC.
Speaker 2: So what is the purpose of this. Here's the deal.
Speaker 1: What Donald Trump is offering, like all Trump deals, is
Speaker 1: premised on a titanic lie that was understood as such
Speaker 1: all the way back at the beginning, when Benjamin Franklin
Speaker 1: warned that any people who would give up a little
Speaker 1: bit of liberty for some security deserve neither. And so
Speaker 1: this is what the blanket of federal security looks like.
Speaker 1: Tanks at the train station checkpoints, on the main drags.
Speaker 1: The soldiers are armed against the people who they come from.
Speaker 1: They are carrying weapons of war in America's cities, and
Speaker 1: Donald his sick ephans, his corrupt minions, having seen the
Speaker 1: success or, preparing to do it in Chicago and in Baltimore.
Speaker 2: Except this time.
Speaker 1: He won't be operating in a federal district, without a governor,
Speaker 1: without United States senators. He'll be doing it within America's states.
Speaker 1: And remember it is the states who created the Union.
Speaker 1: Now is state, under the Second Amendment has the right
Speaker 1: to maintain a well regulated militia.
Speaker 2: And with Donald Trump, who's.
Speaker 1: Threatening to do is to suspend that Second Amendment right.
Speaker 1: Along with fundamentally the Fourth Amendment, the First Amendment, the
Speaker 1: Eighth Amendment, and the fourteenth Amendments. It's very troubling and
Speaker 1: people have a right to be frightened because Trump is
Speaker 1: about to federalize National Guard troops in states and turn
Speaker 1: them against the people, and or worse, to take national
Speaker 1: Guard federalized from MAGA states donated and send them as
Speaker 1: occupying forces into democratic led states, which is, in this
Speaker 1: digital age, a type of digital fort sumter, although the
Speaker 1: guns are real, the bullets are real, and the federal
Speaker 1: occupation is real, and all of it built on the
Speaker 1: architecture of what Joseph Goebbels called the big lie and
Speaker 1: his observation that the bigger the lie, the more apt
Speaker 1: people are to believe it.
Speaker 4: They don't acknowledge it, and they say, we don't need them.
Speaker 2: Freedom. Freedom.
Speaker 4: He's a dictator. He's a dictator. A lot of people
Speaker 4: are saying, maybe we like a dictator. I don't like
Speaker 4: a dictator. I'm not a dictator. I'm a man with
Speaker 4: great common sense and I'm a smart person.
Speaker 2: And so here we are.
Speaker 1: Washington stands under a military occupation upon the order of
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, based on the delusions and the.
Speaker 2: Lies of Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: Now, a Fox News viewer may believe the lives of
Speaker 1: Fox News. They may believe that Portland, Oregon was burned
Speaker 1: to the ground several years ago, but that.
Speaker 2: Does not make it so, does not make it real.
Speaker 1: And the authority and the abuses of power, the abuses
Speaker 1: of office, that the American people are witnessing, should be
Speaker 1: understood always as a prelude of what can be done
Speaker 1: to you. Speak out against Trump, you get audited, speak
Speaker 1: out against Stephen Miller, what pulled out of the customs line?
Speaker 1: If you try to come back into the country. Everywhere,
Speaker 1: it seems there's a new type of law and order
Speaker 1: where so long as you're powerful, you can take as
Speaker 1: you please, please and do as you want to whomever
Speaker 1: you please, so long as you love Trump.
Speaker 2: Enough?
Speaker 1: Is that what the rule of law means, the rule
Speaker 1: of Trump. That in order to start a business, to
Speaker 1: get a bank loan, to open an account, you have
Speaker 1: to have the right politics.
Speaker 2: You have to have the right thoughts in your head.
Speaker 1: You have to have the right beliefs, the right religion,
Speaker 1: the right faith.
Speaker 5: We don't take an oath to a country, don't take
Speaker 5: an oath to a tribe. Don't take an oath to
Speaker 5: a religion. But don't take an oath to a king
Speaker 5: or a queen, or retiring or dictators. We don't take
Speaker 5: an oath to a wany dictator. We don't take an
Speaker 5: oath to an individual. We've taken oath to the Constitution,
Speaker 5: and we taken oath. Do you have tot it as America?
Speaker 5: Or who we're willing to die to protect it?
Speaker 1: How long will it be before we see the first maggot?
Speaker 1: Congressmen suggest that for our security and to clear things up,
Speaker 1: those men with guns and those men with masks ought
Speaker 1: to be taking an oath to the man whose name
Speaker 1: is embossed in gold on the back of their vehicles.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, they're mad, King. Look and read these posts,
Speaker 1: these musics, these fulminations, vituperations.
Speaker 2: What are they? How do you judge them? They are insane.
Speaker 1: Look at his swollen ankles, his failing heart, unable to
Speaker 1: pump the blood efficiently throughout his corpulent and decaying body.
Speaker 2: Look at the makeup on the hands.
Speaker 1: Look at the oval office, and look at the plan
Speaker 1: for this ballroom and his patio where he walked out
Speaker 1: and tested the new sound system at the People's House.
Speaker 1: After recently daring, as any great leader might answer some
Speaker 1: questions from the rooftop, a blanket of insanity, of authoritarianism
Speaker 1: with a uniquely americanized absurdist face is descending. And there
Speaker 1: is no part of the American mountain upon which the
Speaker 1: snow will ultimately not fall. And before it's too late,
Speaker 1: it would be best to wake up to that reality.
Speaker 1: Something is being stolen from all of us right now.
Speaker 1: It's being taken by men with malice in their hearts
Speaker 1: and faithlessness towards the United States. What an awful era
Speaker 1: won't low men and women. But there is no lower
Speaker 1: American than that which will not stand up and fight
Speaker 1: back against this the wrongs being committed and plain sight
Speaker 1: rise up against it, stand up against it. This is
Speaker 1: the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning. I
Speaker 1: invite you to join this community where I promise to
Speaker 1: be honest, blunt, and direct about what is happening in
Speaker 1: this country. America is using crisis. Follow and subscribe to
Speaker 1: this channel and on substack.
