They're incompetent, 24 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 3: and they paid troublemakers, agitators and insurrectionists. They're engaged in 25 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 3: this willful attempt to nullify federal law and aid the 26 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 3: occupation of the city by criminal invaders.

And they get took them 39 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 3: a little by surprise. 40 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 2: Including tragically the black soldier clapping for the renaming of 41 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 2: a base after Robert E. Lee, who, if he was there, 42 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 2: would have chained that soldier and sent him back into slavery. 43 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: For a little breaking news. 44 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 3: We are also going to be restoring the names. 45 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 4: To Fort Pickett, Fort Hood, Fort Gordon, Fort Brooker, Fort Polk, 46 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 4: Fort ap Hill, and Fort Robert E. 47 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: Lee. 48 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 3: We want a lot of battles out of those forts. 49 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 3: It's no time to change. And I'm superstitious, you know, 50 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 3: I'd like to keep it going, right, I'm very superstitious. 51 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 3: We want to keep it going. So that's a big story. 52 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 3: We just announced it today to you for the first time. 53 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 3: They said, what did you wait till Saturdays? 54 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 5: That? 55 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: I can't wait? 56 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 3: I got to talk to my friends here today. This 57 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 3: is a record crowd. You know, you never you never 58 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 3: had a crowd this big. 59 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: That's an honor. 60 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 3: You think this crowd would have showed up for Biden. 61 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think I don't think so. 62 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong. 63 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 2: It is sad to see the desecrations of American history 64 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 2: taking place, the veneration of Confederate soldiers, But there is 65 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 2: no desecration greater through seeing American and soldiers wildly cheer 66 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 2: for Pete Hagsath when he. 67 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 5: Says this standards, accountability, readiness, training, war fighting, lethality. We're 68 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 5: not a college or a university. We're not interested in 69 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 5: your woke garbage and your political correctness. We're warfighters who 70 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 5: close with and destroy the enemy on behalf of our nation. 71 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 5: When we come home to those we love because we 72 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 5: don't fight because we hate what's in front of us. 73 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 5: We fight because we love what's behind us. 74 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 2: It is a dream come true for the Fox News producers. 75 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 2: And by the way, this is the price of having 76 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 2: Fox News on in every military px on as the 77 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 2: station of choice on almost every base in America. Obviously 78 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 2: a radicalized military. And what about the commanders, the commanding 79 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 2: general of the eighty second Airborne, the division sergeant major, 80 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 2: what do they have to say about the loss of 81 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 2: bearing of discipline their troops, the shedding of the nonpartisan tradition, 82 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 2: the breaking of faith in a fundamental way with the 83 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 2: American people. The US military is the most admired institution 84 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 2: in the United States because it is seen as above politics. 85 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 2: But Donald Trump is very quickly politicizing it, and it 86 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 2: won't take much for the US military to break trust 87 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 2: with the American people. The eighty second Airborne and the 88 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 2: troopers behind Trump, they're well on their way. One of 89 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 2: the outputs the consequences of the War on Terror is 90 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 2: that we live in a country where one percent serve 91 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 2: in ninety nine percent have come to in some way 92 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 2: fetishize the American military. Patriotism has devolved to a clap 93 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 2: in a stand and a stump of your feet, maybe 94 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 2: a singing of Lee Green, who It's Got blessed the 95 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 2: USA at a baseball game, or at a halftime show, 96 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 2: where everyone whoops and cheers and does a few usays, 97 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 2: is the fighter jets fly over? That's not patriotism. What 98 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 2: patriotism is is the love of country, of the republic, 99 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 2: its values, its ideals, its constitution that enshrines forever the 100 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 2: freedom of conscience, the freedom of speech, the freedom of descent, 101 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 2: the freedom of religion, the freedom to worship, the freedom 102 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 2: to pursue happiness as you see it in a land 103 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 2: where liberty is supreme. The United States Army is of 104 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 2: the nation. It is made up of the nation, sons 105 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 2: and daughters from every state, from every territory. 106 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: They defend the nation. They swear an oath to the Constitution. 107 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 2: Seeing them riled up by their commander in chief and 108 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 2: turned against their fellow citizens, while the Secretary of Defense 109 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 2: simultaneously talks about his soldiers are stone eyed, clear eyed killers, 110 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 2: and they're needed in LA. 111 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: What could go wrong? 112 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 2: We have arrived at a very dangerous hour in the 113 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 2: United States where Donald Trump is foreshadowing the deployment of 114 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 2: the United States military into the interior of the country 115 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 2: for law enforcement purposes, which will only be legal when 116 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 2: he declares that the country is in a state of insurrection. 117 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: Now here's the truth. Let me show you what an 118 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: insurrection looks like. 119 00:07:27,160 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 2: January sixth, twenty one, there was. 120 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: No insurrection in Los Angeles. 121 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 2: There is a lot of heavy handed federal activity and 122 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 2: it instigated a riot for a singular purpose, which is 123 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 2: for Donald Trump to declare he needs more power and 124 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 2: he needs to use more force to restore order. Yesterday, 125 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom ended the day in California by speaking to 126 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 2: the nation. What he said was important and finally, at 127 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 2: long last, the governor seems clear eyed about what's looking 128 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 2: back at him from across the table or the skirmish line. 129 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 6: In this instance, California will keep fighting. We'll keep fighting 130 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 6: on behalf of our people, all of our people, including 131 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 6: in the courts. Just yesterday, we filed a legal challenge 132 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 6: to Donald Trump's reckless deployment of American troops to a 133 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 6: major American city. Today, we sought an emergency court order 134 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 6: to stop the use of the American military to engage 135 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 6: in law enforcement activities across Los Angeles. If some of 136 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 6: us could be snatched off the streets without a warrant 137 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 6: based only on suspicion or skin color, then none of 138 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 6: us are safe. 139 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 2: These are dangerous days growing more dangerous. The Saturday is 140 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 2: the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the United States Army, 141 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 2: made up of citizen soldiers, the greatest force for liberation 142 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 2: in the history of the world. 143 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: And it's made to. 144 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 2: March for Trump in the name of Trump, by Trump, 145 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,439 Speaker 2: for his birthday, not the Armies. What we're witnessing is 146 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 2: a desecration and a tragedy, and the American people are 147 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 2: paying one hundred and fifty million dollars for it. What happened, 148 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 2: If Fort Bragg should not have happened, It's an alarming 149 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 2: sign of things falling apart. 150 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: I'm Steve Schmidt.
