1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,240 Speaker 1: It is Thursday, October the ninth. This is the warning and. 2 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,719 Speaker 2: This is Portland. This is the scene outside the ice facility. 3 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,799 Speaker 2: I want you to look closely. Does Portland look like 4 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 2: it's a war zone? Does it look like Caza Tokyo 5 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:20,639 Speaker 2: and forty five Berlin? Does this look like a war 6 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 2: zone to you? Of course it's not. But let's listen 7 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 2: to the words of the deranged president Donald Trump. 8 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 3: It's so bad, it's so crazy. It's like the movies 9 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 3: you see for the kids. I guess not only the kids, 10 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 3: adults also where you have these bombed out cities and 11 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 3: these bombed out people, it's like worse than that. I 12 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 3: don't think they could make a movie as bad. 13 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: None of that is true. 14 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 3: The only question nobody can answer is why why are 15 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 3: they doing this? They're like insurrectionists. They're terrible people, but 16 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 3: you really wonder why why are they doing it? What 17 00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 3: are they gaining other than they're obviously paid nonchense. I 18 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 3: don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't 19 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 3: even have stores anymore. They don't even put less up. 20 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 3: They put plywood on their windows. 21 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: More nonsense. 22 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 3: We settled seven wars. We're close to settling an eighth 23 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 3: and I think we'll end up settling the Russia situation, 24 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 3: which is horrible. Seven thousand people died last week, by 25 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 3: the way, in Russia, between Russia and Ukraine. I think 26 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 3: we'll settle that. So I don't think anybody in history 27 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 3: is settled that. 28 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: That many complete insanity. 29 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 3: We took the freedom of speech away because that's been 30 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,199 Speaker 3: through the courts, and the court said you have freedom 31 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 3: of speech. But what has happened is when they burn 32 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 3: a flag, it agitates and irritates crowds. They've never seen 33 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 3: anything like it. 34 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 2: None of it is true, and yet it is the 35 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 2: justification for the use of real power and real force. 36 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 2: The White House resident Nazi Steven Miller, compared to a 37 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 2: who ran out of batteries when he stopped talking on 38 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 2: a CNN interview with Boris Sanchez, declared, the president has 39 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 2: plenary power, which means he has the power of Hitler, 40 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 2: according to Stephen Miller, absolute authority. 41 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 4: Well, the administration filed an appeal this morning with the 42 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 4: Ninth Circuit. I would note the administration won an identical 43 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 4: case in the Ninth Circuit just a few months ago 44 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 4: with respect to the federalizing of the California National Guard. 45 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 4: Under Title ten of the US Code, the president has 46 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 4: plenary authority. 47 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 2: What Stephen Miller said before falling silent, realizing like the 48 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 2: road runner he had scrambled out over the edge of 49 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 2: the cliff, is that Trump has the same power as 50 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 2: Adolf Hitler. 51 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: The furor. It's absolute. 52 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,679 Speaker 2: What Stephen Miller said is there is no checks and balances. 53 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 2: So if Donald Trump says the speedboat in the Caribbean 54 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 2: is filled with drug dealers, it's fine to kill them 55 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 2: on the word of Trump. If Donald says Portland is 56 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 2: a war zone, well then it's a war zone and 57 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 2: the army must be sent. If Donald says the crowd 58 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 2: size that his inaugural is bigger, even though the picture 59 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 2: shows it's smaller, will it must be true. And if 60 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 2: Donald says he won an election that he. 61 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: Lost, that must be true also. 62 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 2: So, after ten years of laughing at and accommodating all 63 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 2: of the insanity. 64 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: We have come to this place where the. 65 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 2: Mentally deranged president of the United States, through fantasy, through delusion, 66 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 2: through mental illness, through dementia, is. 67 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: Able to look into a television. 68 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 2: Camera and invent fantasies out of whole cloth and then 69 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 2: have them repeated as fact across a vast and sophisticated 70 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 2: propaganda network that algorithmically imprisons people and convinces them and 71 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 2: reinforces to them that the delusions of the men in 72 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 2: charge could be real. Now, personally, I have never longed 73 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 2: more for John McCain to be here with us today 74 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 2: than I did during the Pambondy hearing. Can you imagine 75 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:31,239 Speaker 2: the reaction of John McCain to the disrespect, to the belligerence, 76 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 2: to the idiocy of Pambondy. Can you imagine the intolerance 77 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 2: that Ted Kennedy would. 78 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: Have had for it. 79 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 2: And yet Pambondy was not effectively rebuked, not effectively called out. 80 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 2: And it's important to call Pambondy out because Pambondy is 81 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 2: an architect of a new American faith that's rising. She 82 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 2: is a Katari agent. She is the person who is 83 00:04:58,360 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 2: covering up the Epstein. 84 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: And she is a. 85 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 2: Person who conspicuously wears as a political symbol, not a 86 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 2: symbol of faith, across like Carolyn Levitt on her chest, 87 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 2: and that cross is for them a symbol of their 88 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 2: political authority. That cross a symbol of faith for a 89 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 2: billion people around the world. For these fascists is a 90 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 2: badge of their authority. And let me explain the difference 91 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 2: between Christian nationalism and Christianity. Christian nationalism is the faith 92 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 2: of Trump. It is the faith of this whack job, 93 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 2: his White House faith advisor. By the way, did you 94 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 2: hear much about the pastor just sentenced to six months 95 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 2: in jail, who's one of Trump's top guys for abusing 96 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 2: little children. Christian nationalism is three men on a roof 97 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 2: wearing masks, pointing a whack at a priest and pulling 98 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 2: the trigger and shooting him in the. 99 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: Head to an affront to God. What's happening in Illinois? 100 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 2: The shooting of this priest on the orders that's somewhere 101 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 2: in the chain of command at the top is Pambondi. 102 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's delusions. 103 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 2: His hallucinations have become the pretext for a small group 104 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 2: of disordered, deranged fascists to compete against each other for 105 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 2: his affection by threatening violence against the American people and 106 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 2: racing to be the person who torches the Constitution first 107 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 2: and most to please Donald and satisfy his delusions. The 108 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 2: price the destruction of American society, the falling apart of things. 109 00:06:54,279 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 2: The economy is collapsing. Wall Street speculators are indulging in 110 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 2: their last gasps, their last takings, before the top blows 111 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 2: off the proverbial volcano. 112 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: The war drums are beating in Washington. 113 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 2: Texans have come to occupy Illinois, the point weapons at 114 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 2: American citizens from another state from a different faction, on 115 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 2: the orders of a commander, a chief who's announced his 116 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 2: hatred for those people, advised by a sick man named 117 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 2: Stephen Miller, who says that man Donald has the power 118 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 2: of Hitler. The Supreme Court says he has the power 119 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 2: to order sealed Team six to kill. Is his power absolute? 120 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 2: Can Donald do as he pleases? 121 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: Is he a king? 122 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 2: To our rights exist at his whim? I don't think so, 123 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 2: not in America. So don't be afraid. Instead, stand up 124 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 2: and laugh at this fool who told you on CNN 125 00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 2: that Donald Trump, an American president, is a dick and 126 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 2: there's nothing you can do about it. 127 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: And to that, I say both. 128 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 2: And that's the warning people of tremendous malice. Deranged people 129 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 2: are plotting as you hear this, to take away everything 130 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 2: from you that matters your agency, your choices, your liberty, 131 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 2: your freedom, your ability to get in a car and 132 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 2: drive across the country, and they're going to take that 133 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 2: away from you and say they had to do it 134 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 2: because you were under threat from something in reality that 135 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 2: doesn't exist. And that is the foundation for the saddest 136 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 2: story ever told to collapse through the American Republic into 137 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 2: an abyss of greed led by the worst of us 138 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 2: and the dumbest amongst us, by a man of low ability, 139 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 2: lower character, no decency, and no patriotism, but who has 140 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 2: somehow managed to hypnotize the country into believing that our 141 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 2: disintegration and destruction is the path to our greatness. There 142 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 2: are no words that ato glee convey the magnitude or 143 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:17,199 Speaker 2: the measure of both that tragedy and the travesty. 144 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 1: Of it all. 145 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 2: And I'm Steve Schmidt.
