Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the schmid Storm. You've got questions,
Speaker 1: I've got answers. First question is how can Donald Trump
Speaker 1: get away with saying that the Epstein case and his
Speaker 1: involvement in it is a democratic hoax after Donald Trump
Speaker 1: called it a democratic conspiracy. The short answer to that
Speaker 1: question is He's not getting away with it. He won't
Speaker 1: get away with it, and he can't get away with it.
Speaker 1: It's important for people to stop evaluating the efficacy of
Speaker 1: Trump's lies on whether the twenty five percent of Americans
Speaker 1: who believe them speak for the rest of us. They don't.
Speaker 1: All of the people who drank the kool aid at
Speaker 1: the People's Temple in Guyana believe Jim Jones. If he
Speaker 1: had given the same speech urging suicide with the kool
Speaker 1: aid to people outside of the temple, most people, all
Speaker 1: of them, wouldn't have drank the kool aid, simple as I.
Speaker 1: Spending all of our time on the kool aid drinkers
Speaker 1: at the expense of normal Americans is an enormous mistake.
Speaker 1: Americans see this very very clearly, and they see the incoherence,
Speaker 1: the ugliness of the Trump administration, the Trump regime. They
Speaker 1: see it a oppose it, and they reject it. And
Speaker 1: Trump has blown apart his coalition in six months, and
Speaker 1: that coalition will reform and repudiate him, put a check
Speaker 1: on him, and deal in that manner with the lies
Speaker 1: they've been told, by turning power back over to the
Speaker 1: people that Trump hates the most, now Democrats, if they
Speaker 1: win in twenty twenty six, and they're on track to
Speaker 1: best understand that is not not an indicator that everything
Speaker 1: is hockey dory in twenty twenty eight. Question in twenty
Speaker 1: six is put a check on Trump. Question in twenty
Speaker 1: eight is obliterate MAGA. And that is what the American
Speaker 1: people are going to have to do if they wish
Speaker 1: to continue to live in the freest country in the world.
Speaker 1: The second question is it seems, according to intelligence assessments
Speaker 1: and leaks that Donald Trump was lying when he said
Speaker 1: the Iranian nuclear program was obliterated. In fact, only one
Speaker 1: mountain was set back by two years, and the other
Speaker 1: facilities that were bombed by the US and the Israelis
Speaker 1: will be operational again within months. This is true. The
Speaker 1: attacks did not obliterate the Iranian nuclear weapons program, nor
Speaker 1: did they take away the Iranian desire to have a
Speaker 1: nuclear weapon. In fact, what it likely did is make
Speaker 1: it clear to the Iranians the urgent necessity of having
Speaker 1: a nuclear weapon lest they be bombed again by the
Speaker 1: United States in Israel, that the negotiation failed, and that
Speaker 1: the military attack also failing prevents a window of opportunity.
Speaker 1: You need to get the window to stop the next
Speaker 1: attack ahead of the next negotiation. And so we're in
Speaker 1: a race against time. And Donald Trump has told the
Speaker 1: country that there is no more threat because he planned
Speaker 1: the greatest military campaign in world history. Honest to god,
Speaker 1: he said that, yes, D Day doesn't count anymore at
Speaker 1: any rate. It's all absurd. None of it is true.
Speaker 1: The Uranian regime still has a nuclear weapons program, and
Speaker 1: that nuclear weapons program has not been obliterated like Donald
Speaker 1: Trump said. So more lies, lies, lies and lies, and
Speaker 1: this world of surreality that Donald Trump is constructed isn't real,
Speaker 1: and real things have a way of manifesting themselves over
Speaker 1: delusional ones, and never more so than in the space
Speaker 1: where nations deal with each other. The Iranian regime does
Speaker 1: not live in the pretend worlds of Fox News, either
Speaker 1: does anybody else, And that's why this country's in so
Speaker 1: much trouble because so many people in our country believe
Speaker 1: the lies of a liar, and when it comes to
Speaker 1: the efficacy of the military strikes, those lies make it
Speaker 1: harder for the next president, or a future leader, or
Speaker 1: even this president to speak clearly and directly to the
Speaker 1: American people about a threat that may have to be
Speaker 1: dealt with. But what is it that Trump would possibly
Speaker 1: say about the need to bomb again? What he already
Speaker 1: claims was obliterated, So you can see the madness is
Speaker 1: very difficult to get around. The next question is what
Speaker 1: do you think the impact will be of the Big
Speaker 1: Beautiful Bill. Well, the Big Beautiful Bill is a monstrosity,
Speaker 1: and the Big Beautiful Bill is going to cause economic
Speaker 1: calamity in the country and is going to reduce healthcare
Speaker 1: coverage or eliminate it for up to twenty million people,
Speaker 1: to add for million dollars to the national debt. All
Speaker 1: of the things though that the Big Beautiful Bill, this terrible,
Speaker 1: ugly bill does. The thing that will be remembered is
Speaker 1: the change that it brings to the complexion of the
Speaker 1: society with the formation of a secret police force. And
Speaker 1: I don't think most Americans have any comprehension really of
Speaker 1: how much money has been written to ICE, which is
Speaker 1: now standalone the fifteenth largest military in the world, and
Speaker 1: they are deployed against the American people routinely. Now American
Speaker 1: citizens are being harassed, being arrested by masked thugs, many
Speaker 1: of which don't have badges on them. It is outrageous,
Speaker 1: is unacceptable, and it is un American and it must
Speaker 1: be a post. I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning.
Speaker 1: I invite you to join this community, where I promise
Speaker 1: to be honest, blunt and direct about what is happening
Speaker 1: in this country. America is in crisis. Follow and subscribe
Speaker 1: up to this channel and on substack. Thank you.
