WEBVTT - Conspiracies, Catastrophes & Constitutional Crises | The Schmidt Storm 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.400 Welcome to another edition of the schmid Storm. You've got questions, 0:00:03.440 --> 0:00:06.840 I've got answers. First question is how can Donald Trump 0:00:06.880 --> 0:00:10.240 get away with saying that the Epstein case and his 0:00:10.400 --> 0:00:15.160 involvement in it is a democratic hoax after Donald Trump 0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:19.040 called it a democratic conspiracy. The short answer to that 0:00:19.120 --> 0:00:21.439 question is He's not getting away with it. He won't 0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:23.720 get away with it, and he can't get away with it. 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:29.080 It's important for people to stop evaluating the efficacy of 0:00:29.120 --> 0:00:34.320 Trump's lies on whether the twenty five percent of Americans 0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:37.760 who believe them speak for the rest of us. They don't. 0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:40.760 All of the people who drank the kool aid at 0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:44.280 the People's Temple in Guyana believe Jim Jones. If he 0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:47.360 had given the same speech urging suicide with the kool 0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:51.560 aid to people outside of the temple, most people, all 0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:54.880 of them, wouldn't have drank the kool aid, simple as I. 0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:58.720 Spending all of our time on the kool aid drinkers 0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:03.400 at the expense of normal Americans is an enormous mistake. 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:10.520 Americans see this very very clearly, and they see the incoherence, 0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:15.280 the ugliness of the Trump administration, the Trump regime. They 0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:18.319 see it a oppose it, and they reject it. And 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:23.120 Trump has blown apart his coalition in six months, and 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:28.960 that coalition will reform and repudiate him, put a check 0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:32.559 on him, and deal in that manner with the lies 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:36.440 they've been told, by turning power back over to the 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:41.640 people that Trump hates the most, now Democrats, if they 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.280 win in twenty twenty six, and they're on track to 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:49.320 best understand that is not not an indicator that everything 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:52.279 is hockey dory in twenty twenty eight. Question in twenty 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:55.200 six is put a check on Trump. Question in twenty 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:59.040 eight is obliterate MAGA. And that is what the American 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:01.520 people are going to have to do if they wish 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:05.400 to continue to live in the freest country in the world. 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:10.399 The second question is it seems, according to intelligence assessments 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:13.440 and leaks that Donald Trump was lying when he said 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:17.679 the Iranian nuclear program was obliterated. In fact, only one 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:21.399 mountain was set back by two years, and the other 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:24.200 facilities that were bombed by the US and the Israelis 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:29.080 will be operational again within months. This is true. The 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:34.160 attacks did not obliterate the Iranian nuclear weapons program, nor 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:37.240 did they take away the Iranian desire to have a 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:40.960 nuclear weapon. In fact, what it likely did is make 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:44.040 it clear to the Iranians the urgent necessity of having 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:48.120 a nuclear weapon lest they be bombed again by the 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:54.600 United States in Israel, that the negotiation failed, and that 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:59.960 the military attack also failing prevents a window of opportunity. 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.200 You need to get the window to stop the next 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:06.000 attack ahead of the next negotiation. And so we're in 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:09.200 a race against time. And Donald Trump has told the 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:13.800 country that there is no more threat because he planned 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:16.880 the greatest military campaign in world history. Honest to god, 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:20.119 he said that, yes, D Day doesn't count anymore at 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.720 any rate. It's all absurd. None of it is true. 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:27.360 The Uranian regime still has a nuclear weapons program, and 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:31.360 that nuclear weapons program has not been obliterated like Donald 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:36.160 Trump said. So more lies, lies, lies and lies, and 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:41.040 this world of surreality that Donald Trump is constructed isn't real, 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:46.080 and real things have a way of manifesting themselves over 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:51.080 delusional ones, and never more so than in the space 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:56.000 where nations deal with each other. The Iranian regime does 0:03:56.040 --> 0:04:00.160 not live in the pretend worlds of Fox News, either 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:03.800 does anybody else, And that's why this country's in so 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:07.560 much trouble because so many people in our country believe 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:10.400 the lies of a liar, and when it comes to 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:14.240 the efficacy of the military strikes, those lies make it 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:18.080 harder for the next president, or a future leader, or 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:21.240 even this president to speak clearly and directly to the 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:23.880 American people about a threat that may have to be 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:27.040 dealt with. But what is it that Trump would possibly 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:30.720 say about the need to bomb again? What he already 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:34.760 claims was obliterated, So you can see the madness is 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:38.719 very difficult to get around. The next question is what 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:41.320 do you think the impact will be of the Big 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:45.680 Beautiful Bill. Well, the Big Beautiful Bill is a monstrosity, 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:51.000 and the Big Beautiful Bill is going to cause economic 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:54.640 calamity in the country and is going to reduce healthcare 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:58.320 coverage or eliminate it for up to twenty million people, 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:02.640 to add for million dollars to the national debt. All 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:05.880 of the things though that the Big Beautiful Bill, this terrible, 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:09.159 ugly bill does. The thing that will be remembered is 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:11.640 the change that it brings to the complexion of the 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:15.400 society with the formation of a secret police force. And 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:18.719 I don't think most Americans have any comprehension really of 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:22.039 how much money has been written to ICE, which is 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:26.839 now standalone the fifteenth largest military in the world, and 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:31.720 they are deployed against the American people routinely. Now American 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:37.279 citizens are being harassed, being arrested by masked thugs, many 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:40.839 of which don't have badges on them. It is outrageous, 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:44.400 is unacceptable, and it is un American and it must 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:48.400 be a post. I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning. 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.400 I invite you to join this community, where I promise 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:55.520 to be honest, blunt and direct about what is happening 0:05:55.560 --> 0:06:00.000 in this country. America is in crisis. Follow and subscribe 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.640 up to this channel and on substack. Thank you.
