WEBVTT - The Trump Era Will End In Catastrophe

0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:04.160
<v Speaker 1>It is Friday, June the twentieth. This is the warning

0:00:05.200 --> 0:00:10.240
<v Speaker 1>across America. There is a great unease. Americans feel anxiety

0:00:10.480 --> 0:00:14.840
<v Speaker 1>about the economy, about the impending war, about the malice

0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:19.119
<v Speaker 1>of the government towards the people. We see out of

0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:24.759
<v Speaker 1>control federal agencies. We see federal agents who feel a

0:00:24.840 --> 0:00:29.240
<v Speaker 1>license to wear masks and to hide themselves as they

0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:33.159
<v Speaker 1>go about the business of abducting people. The government has

0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:36.280
<v Speaker 1>taken it upon itself to be able to ship people

0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:40.160
<v Speaker 1>that it has abducted to places like El Salvador. When

0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:43.720
<v Speaker 1>this moment is contemplated, let it never be said that

0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:46.640
<v Speaker 1>we didn't see it coming, because the truth of the matter,

0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:50.600
<v Speaker 1>as what we've seen, has been coming for a long time,

0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:55.279
<v Speaker 1>and those forces that have gathered this ill tied, this

0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:59.320
<v Speaker 1>foul wind that brings it closer and closer to all

0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:02.920
<v Speaker 1>of our life lives. It must be confronted now. And

0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:06.800
<v Speaker 1>what Donald Trump is trying to do is so fear

0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 1>fear in people who might speak out against what is

0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:13.000
<v Speaker 1>obviously wrong.

0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 2>This is wrong.

0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:27.160
<v Speaker 3>The world. You'll have a your digital work, and of

0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:31.039
<v Speaker 3>course what happened to us, Senator Alex Badia was wrong.

0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:36.760
<v Speaker 4>I have questions for the secretary, because the fact that

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:40.479
<v Speaker 4>the matter is half a dozen of criminals that you're

0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:44.640
<v Speaker 4>hitting on your on you I also head of.

0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 5>Your beauty.

0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:57.760
<v Speaker 1>These impertinent responses by Pete Hesath, the disrespect, the extremism,

0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 1>It's all wrong. Pete Hecath is not somebody who can

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:05.400
<v Speaker 1>be trusted to lead the United States armed forces into war.

0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:08.800
<v Speaker 1>He despises half the country, as does his boss.

0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:09.760
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:14.640
<v Speaker 1>The deployment of the American military to America cities where

0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:18.760
<v Speaker 1>the American people are made to submit to Donald Trump's

0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:21.840
<v Speaker 1>authority at the tip of a bayonet, is an obscenity.

0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:25.720
<v Speaker 1>And it should be considered that the parents of the

0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:28.639
<v Speaker 1>soldiers and sailors and marines and airmen who will be

0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:32.360
<v Speaker 1>sending a harms way in Iraq the Trump calls vermin

0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:37.160
<v Speaker 1>and scumbags, have to recognize the strange duality that it

0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:39.919
<v Speaker 1>is them, the scumbag and the vermin, who would be

0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:43.680
<v Speaker 1>handed the folded American flag if their child were to

0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:46.680
<v Speaker 1>give the last full measure of devotion to their nation

0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:50.880
<v Speaker 1>upon the orders of Donald Trump or Pete Hagsath, who

0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:55.640
<v Speaker 1>disdained them so very much, and whose political movement disdains them.

0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:58.360
<v Speaker 1>And it should be remembered that it is not political

0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:01.440
<v Speaker 1>movements that wage war. Donald Trump Junior will not be

0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:05.280
<v Speaker 1>parachuting out over Tehran. The war drums that are beating

0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:09.240
<v Speaker 1>on the Hannity set and with Mark Levin, they sound familiar,

0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:12.640
<v Speaker 1>don't they like from twenty two years ago to talk

0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:17.640
<v Speaker 1>about an invincible military and fearless leaders and absolute power

0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:22.680
<v Speaker 1>and easy conquests. But shouldn't leading senators know the population

0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:27.480
<v Speaker 1>of Iran? Shouldn't we have a plan strategy. Shouldn't we

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.519
<v Speaker 1>know what victory looks like? How will we know? And

0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:33.640
<v Speaker 1>how do we trust? Here's Donald Trump on the election

0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:34.280
<v Speaker 1>he lost.

0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.320
<v Speaker 5>They use those cards to vote on the second election,

0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:41.560
<v Speaker 5>My second, the one twenty twenty, because, as everybody here knows,

0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 5>I won that election by a lot.

0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Here's Donald Trump on the economy.

0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.240
<v Speaker 3>When does it become the Trump economy?

0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.400
<v Speaker 5>It partially is right now, And I really mean this.

0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:54.920
<v Speaker 5>I think the good parts of the Trump economy and

0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:56.880
<v Speaker 5>the bad parts of the Biden economy.

0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:59.200
<v Speaker 2>Here's Donald Trump on COVID.

0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:04.360
<v Speaker 5>Virtually nobody, it's an amazing thing. By the way, open

0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:05.080
<v Speaker 5>your schools.

0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:06.880
<v Speaker 4>Everybody opened your school.

0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 1>He's a man who can't tell the truth and a

0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:13.440
<v Speaker 1>man who can't tell the truth is a man who

0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:16.000
<v Speaker 1>can't be counted upon in a moment of crisis, when

0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:17.360
<v Speaker 1>the truth is needed.

0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:18.960
<v Speaker 2>When the people have to be rallied.

0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 1>Nobody among half the country that opposes Donald Trump trusts.

0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:25.360
<v Speaker 2>Him, respects him.

0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:28.760
<v Speaker 1>I was part of a political opposition that stood on

0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:31.920
<v Speaker 1>the other partisan side of the fence from Barack Obama.

0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:34.240
<v Speaker 2>But he could be trusted. He was a man of

0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:34.719
<v Speaker 2>his word.

0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:37.560
<v Speaker 1>He was a man who had the trust of the

0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:42.480
<v Speaker 1>military because he valued their lives, unlike Donald Trump, who

0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:44.800
<v Speaker 1>constantly disrespects their service.

0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.839
<v Speaker 2>Because I don't like losers. But Frank, Frank, let me

0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:49.400
<v Speaker 2>get to him.

0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:50.080
<v Speaker 4>He hit me.

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.040
<v Speaker 2>He's not a war hero, war hero.

0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:53.920
<v Speaker 5>He's a war five and a half years.

0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:56.560
<v Speaker 2>He's a war hero because he was captured. I like

0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:57.640
<v Speaker 2>people that weren't captured.

0:04:57.640 --> 0:04:58.640
<v Speaker 4>Okay, I hate to tell you.

0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:00.400
<v Speaker 2>My rhetoric going.

0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:03.200
<v Speaker 5>To keep us out of wars. And that's what happened.

0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:04.560
<v Speaker 2>Eighty two years.

0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:09.640
<v Speaker 5>Other than I finish off Isis, but that was already started.

0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:15.360
<v Speaker 5>We had stupid generals like Millie and Mattis, weak stupid people.

0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:18.440
<v Speaker 2>But fear not, we have great generals.

0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:20.720
<v Speaker 5>It's not the ones that you see on television all

0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:23.640
<v Speaker 5>the time, and we wiped them out very quickly. It

0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:25.720
<v Speaker 5>was going to take five years, Mattis said it would

0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:27.440
<v Speaker 5>take five years, and I'm not sure we could do

0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:29.920
<v Speaker 5>it. It took us like four weeks.

0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 1>So in this moment of extremism, on the edge of war,

0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.680
<v Speaker 1>we should look at the actions of America's sickest senator,

0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:41.360
<v Speaker 1>the one who released the sick tweets on x after

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:47.440
<v Speaker 1>an assassination. Mike Lee has grown increasingly strange in extreme

0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:53.440
<v Speaker 1>and this sixth Senator, so detached from humanity, so bubbled

0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:57.000
<v Speaker 1>in by the small world of his social media feed

0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:01.039
<v Speaker 1>and the protective bubble of his staff that warships him

0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:05.080
<v Speaker 1>because he worships Trump. This man is the leader of

0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:09.960
<v Speaker 1>a plan, an amendment to sell off hundreds of millions

0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:15.039
<v Speaker 1>of acres of public lands across the West, magnificent spaces

0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:20.080
<v Speaker 1>across Utah, across Idaho, across New Mexico. And these hundreds

0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:22.960
<v Speaker 1>of millions of acres of public lands owned by all

0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:26.360
<v Speaker 1>the American people will be selled off to a rapacious

0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:32.320
<v Speaker 1>billionaire class and too power hungry Arab sheikhs, and to

0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:37.400
<v Speaker 1>the investors, and to the sovereign wealth funds and to

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:41.200
<v Speaker 1>the private equity funds. But these lands belong to us.

0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:44.640
<v Speaker 1>And so while Donald Trump deploys the Marines against the

0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:48.120
<v Speaker 1>American people, his supporters in the right wing media beat

0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:54.159
<v Speaker 1>war drums, his most extremist and six senators cheer assassination

0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:59.800
<v Speaker 1>invent lies to cast dispersions on their opponents while dealing

0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:03.760
<v Speaker 1>in plots to sell off America's lands. It is an

0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:08.680
<v Speaker 1>awful moment and one that demands opposition and fearlessness of purpose,

0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:12.880
<v Speaker 1>because what the American people have to fight for in

0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:16.440
<v Speaker 1>this moment will be remembered. It will be remembered by

0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:21.120
<v Speaker 1>the generations look back and can appreciate. At a moment

0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:26.760
<v Speaker 1>when people mistook quiet for peace, a demagogue rose and

0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:30.680
<v Speaker 1>ended the quiet and all illusions of peace, and put

0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:34.240
<v Speaker 1>on the table a prospect that forces all of us

0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:39.280
<v Speaker 1>to embrace some fundamental values again, values about our freedom,

0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:43.240
<v Speaker 1>values about our liberty that are necessary for free people

0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:47.800
<v Speaker 1>to be connected to lest those free people lose their liberties.

0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:52.400
<v Speaker 1>And that is what we should consider this weekend on

0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:55.840
<v Speaker 1>what will be a historic summer in the United States

0:07:56.240 --> 0:08:01.160
<v Speaker 1>that begins tomorrow. Donald Trump has written the reamble during

0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:05.680
<v Speaker 1>his first months in office, for a season of insanity.

0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:09.239
<v Speaker 2>And it is now upon us. And this is the warning.

0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning.

0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:15.679
<v Speaker 1>I invite you to join this community where I promise

0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:19.800
<v Speaker 1>to be honest, blunt and direct about what is happening

0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:24.360
<v Speaker 1>in this country. America is in crisis. Follow and subscribe

0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:26.320
<v Speaker 1>to this channel and on substack.

0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:26.920
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.
