WEBVTT - Trump Turning U.S. Law Enforcement Into Personal Thugs 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:04.720 It is Tuesday, June third. This is the warning. There 0:00:04.800 --> 0:00:07.200 is a question that will have to be settled in 0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:10.239 the United States of America by the American people, and 0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:13.880 it goes to the heart of an existential matter. What 0:00:14.080 --> 0:00:18.400 type of country will we tolerate living in? Will the 0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:23.680 American people tolerate this? The citizens of South Park, San 0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:41.200 Diego did not. Why are these men outfitted like they're 0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:46.680 rolling into Kandahar after Colleid Shaik Muhammad or some high 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:51.000 ranking Al Qaeda terrorists when they're going to a restaurant 0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:54.760 in the middle of the day in San Diego for 0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:57.920 a law enforcement action. There's something that has to be 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:02.680 talked about directly. Enforcement is a vital function and it's 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:06.399 an honorable profession. But what we're seeing here are the 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:11.360 dregs of the law enforcement barrel. It's very bottom. These 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:17.960 are jack booted government thugs. These are American Gestapo or Stazi. 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:22.880 These are men mostly who need to be reminded that 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:26.320 they will be unmasked, they will be seen, and they 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:30.880 will be accountable, and that just following orders won't cut it. 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:36.440 The Department of Homeland Security has become a leviathan and 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:42.080 a monstrosity, and this is unacceptable in a free society, 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:47.039 a government of the people, by the people, for the people. 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:53.480 The masks are outrageous. D M fours are outrageous. These 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:58.600 men are addressed for war, war against the American people. Obviously, 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:01.480 we now stand e level seven days away from the 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:05.960 greatest desecration of the armed forces in the entire history 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:10.960 of the country. They're yoking to Donald Trump's ego and 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:15.440 to the celebration of his birthday, a one hundred million 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:20.680 dollar spectacle which will destroy the roads and embarrass every 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:24.480 unit that is compelled to take part in it. The 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:29.200 celebration of a felon, the celebration of a narcissist, the 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:34.840 celebration of an unfit commander in chief, America's most prolific liar, 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:39.920 our greatest ego test who is decomposing and unraveling in 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:42.720 plain sight, in front of all of our eyes, as 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:47.040 he makes threat after threat after threat against the Congress, 0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:52.400 against the judiciary, against American citizens, against Taylor Swift, against 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:57.280 Bruce Springsteen, against Canada, against England, against France, against Germany, 0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:02.799 against Ukraine, against Zelenski. This goes on and on and on. 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:06.880 Everywhere every day there is a plot, but the show 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:11.720 rolls on, and it is a fascist snuff film being 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:17.120 choreographed and directed by Stephen Miller and Christy Known and 0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:22.080 this is their cosplaying actors. Federal law enforcement reduced the 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:27.200 thuggery dressed for war in San Diego and in cities 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:31.560 across the country. And yet where is the denunciation from 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:36.080 the floor of the Democratic Senate. Where is the retired 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:40.680 law enforcement community in the United States who says, these 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:44.760 are not lawmen, these are government thugs. Where are the 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:48.640 people who will assert in the United States that we 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:53.320 must be free from intimidation by the government. And that's 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:57.840 what this is. This is about spreading terror and fear 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:02.960 into communities across America to suggest that if you say 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:06.800 the wrong thing, think the wrong thing, link the wrong thing, 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:10.360 you might wind up in chains when you're crossing an 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:15.640 American border. There are announcements taking place that are deeply disturbing, 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:19.599 and nobody, it seems, in America's corrupt corporate media is 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:24.520 paying much attention to them. For example, the accumulation and 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:29.920 consolidation of data on every free citizen in the United 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:36.120 States by their government directing a contractor Pounteer, a company 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:41.200 formed by the CIA venture capital fund that now has 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:47.159 become an instrument of Trump's menacing fascistic, nacent surveillance state 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:50.560 that seems to be coming to life in real time 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:53.880 hour by hour, and at the tip of the sphere 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:57.680 is nomes Gestapo. What are we to think about the 0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:01.400 coast playing Homeland Security director who stood in front of 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:06.479 an El Salvadoran concentration camp wearing a fifty thousand dollars rolex, 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:10.279 who has no idea what Habeas Corpus is, but lives 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:14.640 to please Trump, who travels openly on the taxpayer dime 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:19.120 with her disordered boyfriend, according to news reports, who's had 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:24.120 many law enforcement run ends, who now directs what America Stazi, 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.680 the mass federal agent that could roll into any town, 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:31.480 any community, any village square with their long guns out 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:35.440 to spread fear and terror amongst the free population. What 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:40.719 the people in South Park said was don't tread on us, 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:44.599 and it was important when they did it. And those people, 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:48.440 in many regards are no different than the passengers on 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:52.080 United Flight ninety three and took that plane back from 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:56.240 the terrorists. They came together spontaneously, in a moment, in 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:59.239 an instant to do the right thing, as these people 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:03.320 did look at these federal goons, back up and back away. 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:06.360 But what was that agent thinking. Did he want to 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:09.719 point that weapon? Did he want to open fire? Did 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:11.840 somebody tell him later in the day that it was 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:14.640 okay he would be pardoned by Trump. Let me ask 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:17.520 a question, how long do we suppose it will be 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:21.240 before the part in thugs of January sixth March somewhere 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:25.719 and inflict violence, attack people believing they have a get 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:30.680 out of jail card, believing they're Trump's essay, his militia 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:35.720 assigned by Providence to protect the MAGA regime. That's what 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:38.039 Trump has told them. He's told them he's on a 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:40.640 mission from God. He's told them in the past to 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:44.520 stand back and be ready. Who is behind the masks? 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:48.880 There are generations of police officers who have walked tough 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:52.159 beats in Chicago and New York and they did not 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:57.920 hide behind masks. Cowards hide behind masks. And what we're 0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:02.960 seeing is cowardice. What we're seeing is malice. What we're 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:08.240 seeing is a militarization of federal law enforcement, and it's 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:13.160 being turned loose against the American citizen. It's unacceptable and 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:16.520 it should be denounced. From coast to coast, in every 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:20.400 state capital in the country, at every town meeting, at 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:23.400 every town hall where a member of Congress speaks out, 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:28.000 there should be a demand that this outrage, in this 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:32.280 era of corruption, is brought to heal. It is not okay, 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:36.640 it is not patriotic, it is not American. This is 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:39.880 the face of fascism, and it has come to America 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:43.360 as long ago predicted, wrapped in the flag and carrying 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:48.120 across and those people Trump's henchmen and women predecked with 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:52.760 their little crosses, their gleaming zealadas, who send these mass 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:57.160 men into America's communities or agents of curity, and their 0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:00.600 acts are evil and this conduct is wrong, and it 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:03.120 will be held to account. And every one of these 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:07.080 officers should understand what their obligations are with regard to 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:11.040 illegal and immoral orders. Every one of them should understand 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:13.320 that there will be a day, and it will come 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:16.680 sooner than they believe, where they will be asked about 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:21.480 their participation in enforcement raids where they carried long rifles 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:25.600 and masks into restaurants at lunch. These men didn't face 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:29.040 danger in a restaurant in San Diego. A handgun would 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:32.400 have sufficed on their hip a jacket identifying them as 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:35.840 a federal agent. That's not what happened. This is kiarny 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:39.719 in America in twenty twenty five, and the reason for 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:43.000 it is because Donald Trump he's a fascist, and that 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:46.880 fascism has been appeased. And like before, it has risen 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:50.160 in America not because it was strong or powerful or 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:53.880 potent as an ideology. In fact, it was absurd and 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:58.080 it was disdained. It rose because democracy was weak and 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:00.760 rotten and corrupt, and it's up to all of us 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:05.000 to demand reform and renewal and better. But it starts 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:10.679 with the demand that Democratic party leaders denounce this full throatedly, 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:16.040 absolutely and directly and speak to the urgent necessity in 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:21.719 this country that this grotesque federal police force be defanged, 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:28.000 be defenestrated, and ultimately be abolished. What was began because 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:31.960 we were told the country was under threat has become 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:35.679 the threat to liberty. And if you don't understand that 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:40.320 from these pictures, then may I suggest that ignorance is 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:43.679 no blessing for you in a moment of crisis, and 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:46.720 that you should read more and learn more because what 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:50.640 you're looking at as as plain and clear as the 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:53.840 sun rising in the east and setting in the west. 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:58.000 It does not need interpretation, it does not need explication. 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:01.800 It is and it's day, and it's a moral and 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:06.800 it's an American. This is the morning, and I'm Steve Schmidt. 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:09.520 This is the morning. I invite you to join this 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:13.960 community where I promise to be honest, blunt and direct 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:18.280 about what is happening in this country. America is in crisis. 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:22.440 Follow and subscribe to this channel and on substack. Thank you.
