Speaker 1: This is the fifth anniversary of one of the most
Speaker 1: infamous events in American history, the worst attack against the
Speaker 1: Constitution since the firing by the Confederacy on Fort Sumter.
Speaker 1: It was a coup incited by a defeated president and
Speaker 1: enabled by a gang of sycophants who would rather tell
Speaker 1: Donald Trump yes or maintain their comfort by refusing to
Speaker 1: tell him no over the maintenance of their constitutional oaths
Speaker 1: and their duty to the Republic. What happened on January
Speaker 1: sixth was an attack on the cornerstone of American society.
Speaker 1: Perhaps the greatest invention in all of American history, one
Speaker 1: that exceeds the invention of the airplane, the light bulb,
Speaker 1: the telephone. All of it was the peaceful transition of power,
Speaker 1: and it held from seventeen ninety seven until January sixth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2: When this happened.
Speaker 3: This is the warning.
Speaker 1: It was the cost, It was the fruit of all
Speaker 1: of the lies. I predicted it in September of twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: I said that it would happen, that it was the
Speaker 1: inevitable consequence of a president saying that an election had
Speaker 1: been stolen, in inferring that it was his opponent who
Speaker 1: was illegitimate. It broke the back of the country. It
Speaker 1: destroyed functionally the American Republic. Donald Trump got away with
Speaker 1: the coup, and the country has never ever been the same.
Speaker 1: The reality of this day is a five years on,
Speaker 1: we stand in a moment of national crisis that's unprecedented
Speaker 1: across our entire history.
Speaker 2: We have a.
Speaker 1: Lawless president, rupt Supreme Court, and a Congress filled with
Speaker 1: unus The idea that there are checks and balances is
Speaker 1: a force there are none. Let's listen to Senator Corey
Speaker 1: Booker finally tell the American people the truth about the Congress,
Speaker 1: about the Senate.
Speaker 4: This to me is the problem with Democrats in America
Speaker 4: right now is we're willing to be complicit to Donald
Speaker 4: Trump to let this pass through when we have all
Speaker 4: the leverage right now there is to say, if you're
Speaker 4: as passionate about police as we are, then pass bills
Speaker 4: out of this body that will help the police officers
Speaker 4: in Washington. They will help the police officers in Illinois,
Speaker 4: they will help the police officers in New Jersey, they
Speaker 4: will help the police officers. Know it, don't be complicit
Speaker 4: to the President of the United States, who we both
Speaker 4: know doesn't understand that language. Oh please, oh please, don't
Speaker 4: hurt Blue States. We are standing at a moment where
Speaker 4: our president is eviscerating the constitution of the United States
Speaker 4: of America, and we're willing.
Speaker 2: To go along with that.
Speaker 4: Today.
Speaker 1: No country with checks and balances they take seriously its
Speaker 1: defense would ever allow for an adult, deranged, drunken, imbecile
Speaker 1: like Pete Hegsa to be its minister of defense.
Speaker 2: None.
Speaker 1: All of the things that are playing out in America
Speaker 1: are a function of a disease, and that disease is fascism.
Speaker 1: Fascism does not rise because it is strong, because it
Speaker 1: is noble, because it is virtuous, because it is worthy.
Speaker 1: It rises because democracy is weak and corrupt, and it
Speaker 1: produces the fascists.
Speaker 2: Millions of American.
Speaker 1: Voters chose Donald Trump because they believed on the border,
Speaker 1: on the economy, and on the question of Joe Biden's fitness,
Speaker 1: he the more honest candidate. The failure to stop this
Speaker 1: rest with who exactly should we continue to insist that
Speaker 1: no one's to blame except for the people who voted
Speaker 1: for Trump. Let me say it again, the greatest political
Speaker 1: failure in American history is the Democrats in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: four who lost an election to an insurrectionist who incited
Speaker 1: a coup and incited violence against the Constitution. It is
Speaker 1: unbelievable and it is imponderable. After the coup, there was
Speaker 1: an opportunity for there to be accountability, but there was
Speaker 1: none thanks to Merrick Garland, the worst Attorney general in
Speaker 1: American history, the Neville Chamberlain of the Justice Department. He
Speaker 1: is the indispensable partner of Pam Bondi for the destruction
Speaker 1: of the rule of law in the United States. And
Speaker 1: what follows the destruction of the rule of law in
Speaker 1: the United States is the abuse of the human being,
Speaker 1: the abuse of international law. What follows is invasion, war,
Speaker 1: international gangsterism.
Speaker 2: We have entered into dangerous.
Speaker 1: Days from a period of prosperity unknown in all the
Speaker 1: history of the world. That piece that upward advancement of
Speaker 1: human dignity has ceased. Scientific advancement has been set back,
Speaker 1: Medical technology has been set back, breakthroughs have been set back.
Speaker 1: Everything has been set back. We are drifting as a
Speaker 1: nation towards disaster, towards catastrophe, step by step, day by day.
Speaker 1: Five years ago this happened and Mitch McConnell said.
Speaker 5: This January sixth was a disgrace. American citizens attacked their
Speaker 5: own government. They used terrorism to try to stop a
Speaker 5: specific peace of domestic business. They did not like fellow
Speaker 5: Americans beat and bloodied our own police. They stormed the
Speaker 5: center floor, they tried to hunt down the Speaker of
Speaker 5: the House. They built a gallows enchanted about murdering.
Speaker 2: And Kevin McCarthy said this.
Speaker 6: The president bears responsibility for Wednesday's attack on Congress by
Speaker 6: mob riders.
Speaker 2: And Lindsey Graham said this.
Speaker 7: Georgia, they said, the Secretary of they took the law
Speaker 7: in his own hands.
Speaker 8: He changed the election laws unlawfully.
Speaker 7: A federal judge said, no, I accept the federal judge
Speaker 7: even though I don't agree with it. Fraud they said,
Speaker 7: there's sixty six thousand people in Georgia under eighteen voted.
Speaker 7: How many people believe that. I asked, give me ten
Speaker 7: had had one? They said, eight thousand felons in prison
Speaker 7: and Arizona voted give.
Speaker 8: Me ten hadn't gotten one.
Speaker 7: Does that say there's problems in every election?
Speaker 8: I don't buy this. Enough's enough. We got to end it.
Speaker 2: And now they say this.
Speaker 8: You take down the source of the problem.
Speaker 7: President Trump didn't wake up one day and say, hey,
Speaker 7: let's take Venezuela. He did what other people talked about,
Speaker 7: but didn't have the balls or the guts to do it.
Speaker 8: This is a good thing. This is not intervegetism. This
Speaker 8: is making America safer.
Speaker 7: We're going to be more prosperous because of the business deals.
Speaker 7: They're going to be Americans alive today because he's shut
Speaker 7: down a narco terra st state called Venezuela.
Speaker 8: This is a good thing, not a bad thing.
Speaker 9: So used end by your description of Trump as practically
Speaker 9: and morally responsible for provoking the events of January sixth,
Speaker 9: and potentially criminally responsible and libel.
Speaker 5: I don't know how many times you're going to ask
Speaker 5: me the same question. I stand by everything I said
Speaker 5: on January sixth and February thirteenth of twenty one.
Speaker 9: Well, I'm asking you the question because since the past
Speaker 9: few months have passed, in our last conversation, you've endorsed
Speaker 9: him for reelection.
Speaker 5: You need to get better research. I was asked that
Speaker 5: question three years ago if he were the nominee, would
Speaker 5: I support it?
Speaker 9: And you said you would support who what.
Speaker 5: The nominee was because the voters of my party across
Speaker 5: the country have made a decision. As the Republican leader
Speaker 5: of the Senate, obviously I'm going to support the nominee
Speaker 5: of our party.
Speaker 6: Trump is more than a president, right He's also the
Speaker 6: cabinet members, He's the speaker. I mean, well, Trump coming
Speaker 6: down and telling all the different factions the salt you're done,
Speaker 6: you got enough freedom caucus, knock it off.
Speaker 2: They're also I'm not voting for it. They vote for
Speaker 2: it because.
Speaker 6: Trump is literally stronger than he's ever been in the
Speaker 6: Republican Party than he is right now.
Speaker 1: What they have done is burn the American flag. What
Speaker 1: they have done is pissed on the Constitution and turned
Speaker 1: it into a meaningless nothingness. The American people must now
Speaker 1: decide for We are the last line people who submit
Speaker 1: to tyranny and give away their freedom to authority the
Speaker 1: likes of which Donald Trump proclaims historically have had a
Speaker 1: most difficult time reclaiming it. We may be the worst
Speaker 1: Americans that have been because we are the generations that
Speaker 1: allowed a affoon, a loon, and a corrupt con man
Speaker 1: to take our liberty and flush it down the toilet.
Speaker 2: One year of Trump.
Speaker 1: We have concentration camps in America, we have secret police,
Speaker 1: we have mass surveillance, we have a government focused on
Speaker 1: retribution against its critics, and we have war. And soon
Speaker 1: the caskets will start coming home covered in American flags.
Speaker 1: A young man and women will be buried, and they
Speaker 1: will have died for nothing, unless you count the balance
Speaker 1: sheet of Exxon Mobile and Chevron as something we're dying for.
Speaker 1: This is the warning. We are running out of time.
Speaker 3: I'm Steve Schmidt.
Speaker 2: This is the warning.

Speaker 3: to be honest, blunt and direct about what is happening
