WEBVTT - Why Our Media Has Become Incoherent and Corrupt

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:04.240
<v Speaker 1>It is Tuesday, May twenty seventh. This is the warning.

0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:09.119
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump appeared in public as commander in chief, and

0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:14.080
<v Speaker 2>therefore he desecrated the United States Armed Forces and every man,

0:00:14.240 --> 0:00:18.880
<v Speaker 2>every woman, every soldier, sailor, airman, marine, and coastguardsmen that

0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:22.159
<v Speaker 2>has ever served in the cloth of the nation. The

0:00:22.280 --> 0:00:27.200
<v Speaker 2>desecrations began at West Point, where Donald Trump told the

0:00:27.240 --> 0:00:32.440
<v Speaker 2>cadets about trophy wives. It moved on to Memorial Day.

0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:36.479
<v Speaker 2>We're standing in front of people who gave all. He

0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:38.600
<v Speaker 2>talked about himself as.

0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:41.760
<v Speaker 1>A man who has it all. He didn't shake hands.

0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:46.279
<v Speaker 2>He departed immediately to play golf in Bedminster, New Jersey.

0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:50.320
<v Speaker 2>This is a season of desecration of the armed forces

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:53.880
<v Speaker 2>of the United States. It will all build up until

0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:58.160
<v Speaker 2>June the fourteenth, Flag Day, the two hundred and fiftieth

0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 2>anniversary of the Great It is forced for liberation in

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:05.319
<v Speaker 2>the history of the world the United States Army, when

0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:09.720
<v Speaker 2>Trump will throw a Kim Jong un style parade for

0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:15.200
<v Speaker 2>himself down Pennsylvania Avenue and force a brigade worth of

0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:19.959
<v Speaker 2>America's armed forces to march by. We'll see tanks and

0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:25.840
<v Speaker 2>trucks and flybys, all of it aimed at venerating and

0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:29.960
<v Speaker 2>saving the ego of a dangerous man. I wanna be

0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:35.520
<v Speaker 2>tyrant who is decomposing in real time. Now I'm going

0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 2>to read the late night madness that Donald Trump tweeted out.

0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:44.800
<v Speaker 2>It is essential to understand that there is no secret

0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:51.040
<v Speaker 2>source needed to interpret this, no anonymized sourcing necessary. There

0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:55.680
<v Speaker 2>is nothing to ferret out. There is no conspiracy. What

0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:58.840
<v Speaker 2>has been building has been building.

0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:00.440
<v Speaker 1>For ten long years in.

0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:05.640
<v Speaker 2>America's broken and corrupt corporate media, starting with, for example, The.

0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 1>New York Times.

0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:11.320
<v Speaker 2>Maggie Haberman, somebody who has been heralded and awarded prizes

0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:14.520
<v Speaker 2>like the pullets are as a type of Trump whisperer

0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:19.720
<v Speaker 2>who could singularly interpret him. He needed no interpretation. What

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:24.400
<v Speaker 2>he needed was straight reporting, the type of reporting that

0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:28.720
<v Speaker 2>could attach what he is saying to history to meaning.

0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:31.880
<v Speaker 2>And none of it happens. But what I'm going to

0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:35.680
<v Speaker 2>read you, what he desecrated Memorial Day with is as

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:39.519
<v Speaker 2>vicious as anything that ever came out of the mouth

0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:43.280
<v Speaker 2>of Adolph Hitler in the nineteen twenties or came out

0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:45.480
<v Speaker 2>of the mouth of Joseph Goebels.

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:48.320
<v Speaker 1>That's what this is.

0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:52.440
<v Speaker 2>Happy Memorial Day to all the scum that spent the

0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 2>last four years trying to destroy our country through warped

0:02:56.440 --> 0:03:00.680
<v Speaker 2>radical left minds, who allowed twenty one million people to

0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:05.040
<v Speaker 2>illegally enter our country, many of them being criminals and

0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 2>the mentally insane, through an open border that only an

0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:12.360
<v Speaker 2>incompetent president would approve, and through judges who are on

0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:16.640
<v Speaker 2>a mission to keep murderers, drug dealers, rapist gang members,

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:19.799
<v Speaker 2>and released prisoners from all over the world in our

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:23.320
<v Speaker 2>countries so they can rob, murder, and rape again. Hull

0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:27.680
<v Speaker 2>protected by these USA hating judges who suffer from an

0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:31.320
<v Speaker 2>ideology that is sick and very dangerous for our country.

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:34.680
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully the United States Supreme Court an other good and

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.920
<v Speaker 2>compassionate judges throughout the land will save us from the

0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:40.840
<v Speaker 2>decisions of the monsters who want our country to go

0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:41.360
<v Speaker 2>to hell.

0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:43.880
<v Speaker 1>But fear not, we have made great.

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:47.160
<v Speaker 2>Progress over the last four months in America will soon

0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:51.720
<v Speaker 2>be safe and great again. Happy Memorial Day, and God

0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:56.560
<v Speaker 2>bless America. What this is is a sickness. What this

0:03:56.920 --> 0:04:00.400
<v Speaker 2>is is fascism, and it has come to America as

0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 2>was long predicted, wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross.

0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:09.360
<v Speaker 2>And it is a philosophy of cruelty and lawlessness. It

0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:12.960
<v Speaker 2>is an orgy of corruption that we are seeing play

0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:16.720
<v Speaker 2>out in the United States. And one facet of that

0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 2>corruption that we have to talk about is the Jake

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:25.160
<v Speaker 2>Capper book Original Sin. Now, let me set the record straight.

0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:31.200
<v Speaker 2>The original sin was the allowance for the conspiracy theories

0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:37.960
<v Speaker 2>to bloom on television screens and network studios that allowed

0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:41.240
<v Speaker 2>for the American people to believe that a fair election

0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.960
<v Speaker 2>was a stolen one and to believe that Donald Trump

0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:48.120
<v Speaker 2>had been cheated out of something he lost, and allowed

0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:51.080
<v Speaker 2>that lie to spread and allowed there to be a

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:55.760
<v Speaker 2>season after the coup, after the insurrection, where there was

0:04:55.839 --> 0:05:00.480
<v Speaker 2>no accountability whatsoever, and so the lie festered and and

0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:03.720
<v Speaker 2>it grew, and it grew. Let's be clear, that's what

0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:05.120
<v Speaker 2>the original sin was.

0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:11.560
<v Speaker 2>Original Sin, reported mostly by Alex Thompson, according to media reports,

0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:15.359
<v Speaker 2>is a good book. It documents a terrible wrong that

0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:19.320
<v Speaker 2>was perpetrated on the country by a small group of people.

0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:25.919
<v Speaker 2>Mister donaldan Steve Orschetti, Anita Dunne, Anthony Burnout. These people

0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:29.400
<v Speaker 2>did terrible things to the United States and they are

0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:32.560
<v Speaker 2>directly responsible for Donald Trump.

0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Being in the White House.

0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:37.080
<v Speaker 2>You had a small group of unelected people trying to

0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:41.360
<v Speaker 2>maintain power no one elected them to hold well, making

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:45.719
<v Speaker 2>an argument about the necessity for democracy. It's awful, but

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:50.480
<v Speaker 2>it all happened in plain sight. And nothing that is

0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:54.359
<v Speaker 2>in Jake Tapper's book is anything that could not have

0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:58.960
<v Speaker 2>been ferreted out while Joe Biden was president. But Jake

0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:03.600
<v Speaker 2>Tapper and everyone at CNN went along with it for ratings,

0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:06.640
<v Speaker 2>for profit, for the money. This was all covered like

0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:10.920
<v Speaker 2>a UFC match, not like an exigent circumstance in an

0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:16.480
<v Speaker 2>existential election where fascism was bearing down on the United States. No, No,

0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:22.200
<v Speaker 2>it all happened in playing sight, day after day after day.

0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:25.839
<v Speaker 2>Jake Tapper makes the argument that the White House ran

0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:30.680
<v Speaker 2>an intimidation campaign. Well, why what might the motive have been?

0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 2>Could he not have connected the dots. The book is

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:35.960
<v Speaker 2>an admission that losing.

0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:37.760
<v Speaker 1>Access was not worth it.

0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:41.839
<v Speaker 2>Tapper admits this in interviews when he says, I pulled

0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:46.160
<v Speaker 2>punches basically while I was waiting to host the debate.

0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:50.359
<v Speaker 2>I tried to equalize the coverage, not to offend the

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:54.640
<v Speaker 2>powerful people that I need access to in order to

0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:57.840
<v Speaker 2>do my job, in order to land the debate, so

0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:00.440
<v Speaker 2>we could do the rocky music, or at least a

0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:04.760
<v Speaker 2>CNN version of it. And so now Jake Tapper is

0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:08.120
<v Speaker 2>saying to Piers Morgan, who is at the center of

0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:12.240
<v Speaker 2>character assassination as a ruper herdock Henchman, a man with

0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:16.200
<v Speaker 2>no credibility, a list of ethical disasters that are like

0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:20.360
<v Speaker 2>the excellent Valdese that have followed him. This man is

0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:23.840
<v Speaker 2>the guy telling Jake Tapper in an interview that, note, Jake,

0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:27.320
<v Speaker 2>what you wrote about is not like Watergate. And it's

0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:31.560
<v Speaker 2>not unless it is that Watergate was filmed by the

0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:36.280
<v Speaker 2>media and not reported on. For three years now, CNN

0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:40.400
<v Speaker 2>has turned itself into QVC to sell books, and Jake

0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:44.760
<v Speaker 2>Tapper is declaring himself to basically be Woodward and Bernstein

0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:48.160
<v Speaker 2>or both while he's talking about this cover up that

0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:51.800
<v Speaker 2>supposedly went down in plaint Site. What's happening in plaint

0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:55.239
<v Speaker 2>Sight is ut her madness, the madness of Donald Trump

0:07:55.360 --> 0:08:02.440
<v Speaker 2>in coherence, dangerous bluster, unyielding threats, and the sick performances

0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:06.520
<v Speaker 2>of his team of narcissists like the Skank of Arabia

0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:13.440
<v Speaker 2>christinom Everywhere, Donald Trump is asserting power and doing it

0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:18.960
<v Speaker 2>with statements that are crazed deranged, incoherent. And I guess,

0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:23.200
<v Speaker 2>judging by what we're talking about now, in another five.

0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Or six years, we'll get to.

0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:27.680
<v Speaker 2>Read a book about it by Jake and hear the

0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:32.200
<v Speaker 2>next apology about how he's learned some humility, except in

0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:35.840
<v Speaker 2>Jake Tapper's case, he really hasn't. Because the Jake Tapper

0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.480
<v Speaker 2>who said he learned a lesson about humility when he

0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:42.880
<v Speaker 2>was asked about what's your reaction all the criticism, said, well,

0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:47.320
<v Speaker 2>nobody who means anything to me. Is anybody who's criticized me?

0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:51.160
<v Speaker 2>Think about that who's important to Jake Tapper? And is

0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:53.880
<v Speaker 2>he on your side? Is he invested in telling you

0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:57.320
<v Speaker 2>the truth about the man who's commander in chief right now?

0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Or the CNN need access to please that man so

0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:04.520
<v Speaker 2>we can put on the next town hall, the next show,

0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.280
<v Speaker 2>and maybe Jake Tapper can host it, maybe he can

0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:10.640
<v Speaker 2>write another book and one after that. And so what

0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:15.199
<v Speaker 2>you're seeing is the Washington media industrial complex that has

0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.920
<v Speaker 2>done so much damage because its.

0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:20.480
<v Speaker 1>Partners are the powerful.

0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:23.680
<v Speaker 2>People it's supposed to cover, but don't cover, not in

0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:24.719
<v Speaker 2>the moment but.

0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.200
<v Speaker 1>After the fact. And here's the thing.

0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump needed explication, not interpretation, and yet every night

0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:38.080
<v Speaker 2>on CNN there'll be Scott Jennings on mister Tapper's network

0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:41.400
<v Speaker 2>to tell you that Donald Trump did not mean the

0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:45.040
<v Speaker 2>thing he just said very clearly that he meant, and

0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:49.080
<v Speaker 2>so on and on. It goes a great circle, a

0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:53.360
<v Speaker 2>great cycle of American corruption, and what is necessary in

0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:56.520
<v Speaker 2>the country is a reform movement that will bring it

0:09:56.600 --> 0:10:00.719
<v Speaker 2>all to heal. But understand this, it is all deeply connected.

0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:06.080
<v Speaker 2>This is the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning.

0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:09.079
<v Speaker 2>I invite you to join this community where I promise

0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:13.199

0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:17.800
<v Speaker 2>in this country. America is in crisis. Follow and subscribe

0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:19.760

0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Thank you,
