Speaker 1: This is the warning. Good day everybody. Later this evening,
Speaker 1: I'll be talking to hundreds of people with Beto o'roor
Speaker 1: here in Tulsa, Oklahoma about what's happening in America. First,
Speaker 1: let me share a story about a decision making process.
Speaker 1: It's called the OODA loop. It stands for Observe, Orient,
Speaker 1: decide and act. Think about it in a circle, moving
Speaker 1: clockwise from the top. Observe, orient, decide and act. So
Speaker 1: let us talk about what it is that we have
Speaker 1: observed this week with Donald Trump. Specifically, what do we
Speaker 1: see on the lapel of the suit jacket of the
Speaker 1: FCC chairman, who is responsible for regulating the broadcast airwaves
Speaker 1: and the licenses of media stations in the United States.
Speaker 1: What is that's orient to that? The golden Trump pen
Speaker 1: worn by a government official. It seems to me to be,
Speaker 1: as I orient towards it, similar to a pin that
Speaker 1: Chinese communists would wear with Chairman mal on it, or
Speaker 1: perhaps the pin that the National Socialists would wear, the
Speaker 1: party pin. I cannot think of anything that I've ever
Speaker 1: seen any American government official wear that is fundamentally more
Speaker 1: un American and more frightening. Donald Trump is the leader
Speaker 1: of a fascist political movement that is attacking the United
Speaker 1: States from within. He is surrounded by malevolence and sick offhans,
Speaker 1: dangerous people, fools, and clowns, none more so than the
Speaker 1: self serious, belligerent Stephen Miller. He's always reminded me a
Speaker 1: bit of the character from the movie Stripes, Francis better
Speaker 1: known as Psycho, And I always remember that scene where
Speaker 1: Sergeant Hulka the big Toe tell Psycho, lighten up Francis.
Speaker 1: And it would be good if someone might have said
Speaker 1: that to Stephen Miller along the path of his development.
Speaker 1: But for Santa Monica Goebbels, no such luck at any rate.
Speaker 1: After a week of market chaos, this is what Stephen
Speaker 1: Miller said.
Speaker 2: We're on the verge now because the President Trump's strengthened
Speaker 2: leadership of fixing our entire global trading system. President Trump
Speaker 2: is going to fix our global trading relationships and at
Speaker 2: the same time he's going to work with Congress to
Speaker 2: make America in the manufacturing center of the world with
Speaker 2: the lowest taxes, the lowest regulations, and the cheapest energy.
Speaker 1: This is what Stephen Miller posted on social media, And
Speaker 1: of course he wasn't alone. The Wyoming Senator John Barrasso
Speaker 1: was picked up on a live mic telling Trump that
Speaker 1: he was a genius for the stock market. Now, the
Speaker 1: stock market went up yesterday, and there may be some
Speaker 1: people out there who say, wow, the stock market went up.
Speaker 1: It did. It's not a good thing. It went down
Speaker 1: thousands of points. It went up thousands of points, all
Speaker 1: of it on currents of madness, in coherence, and insanity.
Speaker 1: In the instant that Donald Trump is saying he will
Speaker 1: never negotiate it, He'll never back down. He's preparing to
Speaker 1: back down. He sends out a message by stocks manipulating
Speaker 1: the markets, and then he manipulates the markets while trillions
Speaker 1: of dollars is being evaporated. Donald Trump's sons are feeding
Speaker 1: like pigs at the bitcoin trough. Donald Trump is feeding
Speaker 1: at the bigcoin trough. And now all of the Wall
Speaker 1: Street billionaires around Donald Trump are manipulating the market. Donald
Speaker 1: Trump drives it down down thousands of points, and then
Speaker 1: Donald Trump does something that lifts it up thousands of points.
Speaker 1: They all make money and ordinary people go broke. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about the cost of this. The mental health of
Speaker 1: millions of Americans has been savagely attacked their stability as
Speaker 1: they pursue happiness, as they take the risk with their restaurant,
Speaker 1: with their ranch, with their farm, with their baby. Business
Speaker 1: people buy things on credit to stay in business. They
Speaker 1: take loans out, they meet payrolls, they pay for their employees'
Speaker 1: health insurance. And they are being attacked by their government.
Speaker 1: And that's what this is. Donald Trump has proved he
Speaker 1: has no staying power, he has no guts, he's got
Speaker 1: no stamina. He can't hang into the fight. He backed down,
Speaker 1: and he backed down because he's coalition cracked up. Elon
Speaker 1: Musk has been defenestrated, severed from Trump clowns by his
Speaker 1: twenty five million dollar loss in Wisconsin. His companies are
Speaker 1: under siege. Tesla is on its way to bankruptcy. Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is at a forty one percent approval level. The situation,
Speaker 1: though grim, is clear. A Donald Trump is attacking America.
Speaker 1: He's attacking the constitution and civil liberties. He is attacking
Speaker 1: the American economy. He is attacking the American military. He
Speaker 1: is attacking the Department of Justice. He is attacking the
Speaker 1: intelligence agencies. He is attacking the markets. He is attacking
Speaker 1: our allies. He's leading an attack aimed at destabilizing the
Speaker 1: country so that he may offer a solution which will
Speaker 1: be wrapped in a demand for more and more and
Speaker 1: more power, which he will hand out to people wearing
Speaker 1: golden Trump pens, who will have a license to take
Speaker 1: whatever they please from whomever they want, because they will
Speaker 1: be powerful. And unless you have the golden Trump pen,
Speaker 1: you will not. You can get the golden Trump pen.
Speaker 1: All you have to do is surrender your principles. All
Speaker 1: you have to do is abandon your initiative. All you
Speaker 1: have to do is get in line. All you have
Speaker 1: to do is say yes forever more to the idea
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump is the greatest genius has ever been.
Speaker 1: And unless you do, it will be hard for you
Speaker 1: to get ahead in Trump's America. That's the proposition on
Speaker 1: the table. That's what we're saying. One hundred days ago,
Speaker 1: we were still weeks away from Donald Trump taking power
Speaker 1: from any of his cabinet being confirmed. How are they doing.
Speaker 1: We have a defense secretary with a clown real estate
Speaker 1: developer named Steve Wikoff who has no clue about the
Speaker 1: world what he's doing in it, in Moscow receiving top
Speaker 1: secret plans about a military strike that gave away the
Speaker 1: position of American aircraft carriers. There's no accountability for this
Speaker 1: accountability and a fascist regime like Trump's is only for
Speaker 1: the little people, never for anyone at the top. We
Speaker 1: have the Director of National Intelligence on that email, the
Speaker 1: Secretary of State, clowns, criminal ne'er do wells, accused rapists,
Speaker 1: can't make it up. Democratic Governor of Michigan Gretchen Whitmer
Speaker 1: is advised by her team, who thinks that they're capable
Speaker 1: of running a presidential campaign, that hey, in the middle
Speaker 1: of this insanity is the time to go to Washington,
Speaker 1: DC and give a speech that basically says, hey, Trump's
Speaker 1: that's right, but I do it a different way. And
Speaker 1: she did that not because Trump's right. She knows he's incoherent,
Speaker 1: but she thought, opportunistically, I can make my move, distinguish
Speaker 1: myself from my fellow Democrats. Go in there, make it
Speaker 1: about Gretchen Whitmer in this moment of existential crisis, not
Speaker 1: do anything to contribute to the building of a national opposition,
Speaker 1: but position me for whatever primary may go first. So
Speaker 1: Rich and Whitmer goes to Washington and she gives a speech.
Speaker 1: The speech was pedantic. The speech was boring, it was
Speaker 1: delivered without charisma. It was not a presidential good first look.
Speaker 1: And then she probably finished herself off when she went
Speaker 1: to the Oval Office and was used as a hostage
Speaker 1: pawn because she's naive, because she's a lammy who went
Speaker 1: into the wolf Sten unprepared and stood there like a
Speaker 1: useful idiot against the wall as Donald Trump threatened to
Speaker 1: use the Department of Justice. Well used to the Department
Speaker 1: of Justice to investigate a political critic. That's what's happening
Speaker 1: in America. Trump's a genius. All you have to do
Speaker 1: is put on the golden Trump pen and things will
Speaker 1: be good for you. The United States of America is
Speaker 1: attacking Canada, it's attacking Denmark. Donald Trump has fundamentally taken
Speaker 1: the Russian position against the free and fighting people of Ukraine.
Speaker 1: He has assaulted, assailed, and attacked our allies. And then
Speaker 1: he went to war with China, trade war, and China
Speaker 1: has the cards and you can't fix stupid. So Donald
Speaker 1: Trump's trade war turned out to be a picket's charge
Speaker 1: of stupidity into the teeth of the Chinese who bit
Speaker 1: his hand off. But his hand is America's hand, and
Speaker 1: so one hundred days in America is poorer than it
Speaker 1: was when Donald Trump took office. America is weaker than
Speaker 1: when Donald Trump took office. Donald Trump can be seen clearly.
Speaker 1: He's incoherent. He's a buffoon. World leaders don't take seriously.
Speaker 1: Nobody's calling Donald to kiss his ass. And by the way,
Speaker 1: how do those world leaders kissing Donald's ass, even if
Speaker 1: it was true, help you. Donald just likes lips on
Speaker 1: his ass. For almost one hundred days, Donald Trump and
Speaker 1: his family have been on a crime spree. For almost
Speaker 1: one hundred days, Donald Trump has been threatening people, threatening
Speaker 1: to investigate people, now investigating people, snatching people off the
Speaker 1: streets and chaining them. Democratic governors are going down to
Speaker 1: Washington and trying to maneuver by playing footsie with these people.
Speaker 1: Gavin Usom doing it with Charlie Kirk, doing it with
Speaker 1: Steve Bannon, not going to places like Oklahoma, not going
Speaker 1: to places like Mississippi. To stand up and to say
Speaker 1: to all the American people, as Democrats, we misled you
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four. We're going to do better. This
Speaker 1: is what this party stands for. It stands for the
Speaker 1: ordinary American person who wants to pursue happiness and live
Speaker 1: in liberty. That is the greatness of the Democratic Party
Speaker 1: should stand for the proposition of the four freedoms, freedom
Speaker 1: of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from fear, freedom from want.
Speaker 1: There will be more poor people in America after this
Speaker 1: Trump presidency than at any point since the Great Depression.
Speaker 1: Poverty is going on, opportunity is going down. The economic
Speaker 1: pie in America is shrinking, and the security of the
Speaker 1: American people with it. Donald Trump came into office with
Speaker 1: a plan with a sledgehammer, a fascist with a chainsaw,
Speaker 1: giving Nazi salutes, and he went to work. The Democratic
Speaker 1: majority under Chuck Schumer appeased him, coddled him, enabled him,
Speaker 1: did not fight back. And here we are in crisis.
Speaker 1: It is time to wake up and it is time
Speaker 1: to defend the American Republic from these people and this insanity.
Speaker 1: It is time to blow part the assumptions that say
Speaker 1: that most of the country is faded to live under
Speaker 1: the rule of these people without an alternative voice being offered,
Speaker 1: because that's just the way it is. Some states are
Speaker 1: red and some states are blue. Into that I say bullshit.
Speaker 1: Oklahoma and Mississippi and Arkansas and All of these places
Speaker 1: are American states, part of the Union, filled with Americans
Speaker 1: who want to live in liberty and not be the
Speaker 1: abuse victims of their politicians who work for us, not
Speaker 1: for Trump. And that is the proposition at hand. And
Speaker 1: this is the morning. I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the
Speaker 1: morning I invite you to join this community where I
Speaker 1: promise to be honest, blunt and direct about what is
Speaker 1: happening in this country. America is in crisis. Follow and
Speaker 1: subscribe to this channel and on substack. Thank you.
