1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,800 Speaker 1: It is Thursday, June twenty sixth. This is the warning. 2 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:09,120 Speaker 1: This morning there was chaos in the Pentagon as the 3 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: most unfit leader in the history of the American Armed 4 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 1: Forces took to the podium and declared war on the 5 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: American media. He demanded that reporters waive the flag. And 6 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 1: waving the flag means for Pete Hagsath supporting whatever it 7 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: is that Donald Trump does. 8 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 2: We're urging caution about putting it premising entire stories on 9 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 2: biased leaks to biased publications, trying to make something look back. 10 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,879 Speaker 2: How about we take a beat, recognize first the success 11 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 2: of our warriors, hold them up, tell their stories, celebrate 12 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 2: that wave an American flag, be proud of what we accomplished. 13 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 2: And in the meantime, I can assure you the chairman 14 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 2: of his staff, the intelligence community, our staff and others 15 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 2: are doing all the assassins necessary to make sure that 16 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 2: mission was indeed successful. 17 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,959 Speaker 1: Because, let's face it, Pete Hegsath doesn't stand for the flag. 18 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 1: Pete Hegsath stands for Donald Trump. Pete Hegsath has a 19 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: warped and alien sensibility around American values and our ideas 20 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: and ideals. That's why it's his signature on the deployment 21 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: orders for the seventh Marines in Los Angeles. Pete Hegsath 22 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 1: is a Jingo and he hates half the country, including 23 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 1: a great many of the parents of America's enlisted soldiers, sailors, airmen, 24 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: and Marines. Pete Hegseth cannot be trusted. He is followed 25 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 1: everywhere around the Pentagon by his wife, who is nicknamed 26 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: by the brass him by the privates as yoko Ono. 27 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: She installed a makeup room for him, and supposedly she's 28 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: there to keep him sober, to keep his zipper wicked, 29 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: and to make sure that Pete Hegsath doesn't find his 30 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: way to the boudoir of an admiral's wife, well he's 31 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: away on sea duty. Pete Hegsseth is a clown, regarded 32 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: as such by the men he leads, reviled across the 33 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: military because he is an affront to the concepts of 34 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:27,839 Speaker 1: honor and integrity, decency, dignity, all of the core values. 35 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: Leadership in the military is a moral proposition and has 36 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: always been understood as such, and this morning you fully 37 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: understand why it is that Pete Hegsath has no moral 38 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: authority whatsoever. To lead the American military, and here's the 39 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: deal with this attack. 40 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 3: It failed. 41 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: The question that was asked, do you know where the 42 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: enriched uranium is should have been followed up with the 43 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: more important question, did you know where the enriched uranium 44 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: was before the attack? 45 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,959 Speaker 3: Because now we don't. Let's watch it's about highly enrich uranium. 46 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 4: Do you have certainty that all the highly enrich uranium 47 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 4: was inside the Four Dome Mountain or some of it? 48 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 4: Because there were satellite photos that showed more than a 49 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 4: dozen trucks there two days in advance. Are you certain 50 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 4: none of that highly enrich uranium was moved? 51 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 5: Of course, we're watching every single aspect, But Jennifer, you've 52 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 5: been about the worst, the one who misrepresents the most 53 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 5: intentionally what the President says. 54 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 4: I'm familiar about the ventilations chefts on Saturday night, and 55 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 4: in fact, I was the first to describe the B 56 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 4: two bombers, the refueling, the entire mission with great accuracy. 57 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 4: So I take issue with that. 58 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 6: I appreciate you acknowledging that this was the first, the 59 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 6: most successful mission based on operational security that this Department 60 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 6: has done since you be here, and I appreciate that 61 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 6: we're looking at all aspects of intelligence and making sure 62 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 6: we have a sense of what was where. 63 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 3: And here's another thing. 64 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: The Iranian regime is a theocratic apocalyptic dictatorship. It claims 65 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: that God has ordained their leadership. So what happens when 66 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 1: the countries that the Iranian theocratic dictatorship refers to as 67 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: the Great Satan and the Little Satan Israel, the Little Satan, 68 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: the Great Satan? The United States go all in announce 69 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: the obliteration of the Iranian nuclear program, but it survives. 70 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 3: Does that strengthen the. 71 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: Hand of the theocratic dictatorship who claims God's providence? 72 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 3: Or does it weaken it? 73 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: The answer to the question is it strengthens the dictatorship. 74 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: But of course Trump is utterly ignorant about history, about 75 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: the history of dictatorship, about religion, about Iran, and so 76 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: baked in the juices of his ignorance, he has launched 77 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 1: an attack and his Sikophans, like Alabama Senator the Stepford 78 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: Senator Katie Pritt, goes on television demanding that the hour 79 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: be at hand where Donald received his Nobel Peace Prize. 80 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 7: President Trump is going to win the Nobel Peace Prize. 81 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 7: No doubt. You look at what he's done with the 82 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 7: Congo and Rwanda. You look at where he is with 83 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 7: Pakistan and India and what he's done there, And then 84 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 7: you look at this what everyone talked about but no 85 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 7: one thought was possible. He has brought peace to a 86 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 7: region that needed stability. He has shown what america First 87 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 7: policy actually is. 88 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: What the massive Wardenan's penetrator bombs did was forever rearranged 89 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 1: the topography of a mountain, one in which apparently none 90 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,919 Speaker 1: of the enriched uranium that was the target of the 91 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: bombing was president at And even so, the centrifuge is 92 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: very deep in the reactor, according to the intelligence assessments, 93 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 1: were not destroyed. And yet the fantasy is demanded as 94 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: fact and that it be embraced by everybody in the 95 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: name of patriotism. It's sick, it's a lie, and it's dangerous, 96 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: and nobody. 97 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 3: Should get in line with the demented. 98 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: Ravings of either Pete Hegsath or Donald Trump. One of 99 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: the sicknesses of this era is the disease of appeasement, 100 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: the rolling over by so many people who should have 101 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: known better, including the Secretary General of NATO, who beclowned 102 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: himself by calling Trump daddy. 103 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 8: Debrah Haines from Skynese, Mark Ritter, the NATO chief, who 104 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 8: is your friend? He called you daddy earlier. Do you 105 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 8: regard your NATO allies as kind of children? 106 00:06:59,200 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 4: No, he likes me. 107 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 3: I think he likes me. If he doesn't, I'll let 108 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 3: you know. I'll come back and I'll hit him hard. Okay, 109 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 3: he did, He did it, very affectionate. Daddy. Here, my daddy. 110 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 3: What an embarrassment. 111 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: These people are entrusted with incredible power and responsibility for 112 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: the safety of not just hundreds of millions of people 113 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: in dozens of nations, but the lives of the men 114 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: and the women who stand at the front. 115 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 3: And these are not serious people. 116 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: And because they are not serious, and because Trump is 117 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: filled with malice and venom, what happens is on each 118 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: occasion when they meet these forces, venom and malice versus appeasement, 119 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: venom and malice win. And so the world is spiraling. 120 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: It is today profoundly more dangerous than it was on 121 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: January twentieth. And I just want to show you some 122 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: of the insanity. I just want to tell you that 123 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: the price is coming closer, and we will all pay it. 124 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: I just want to tell you that the catastrophe is 125 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: coming closer, and soon we will be past the last 126 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: exit ramp where it can be avoided. Donald Trump has 127 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: seized power that no president has ever asserted in the 128 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: United States. All of the institutions designed to check it 129 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: have failed in the executive branch and in the legislative branch. 130 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: The courts have not, but they are strained, and there 131 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: is great corruption in the judiciary branch and in the 132 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 1: federal judiciary. And so it's up to the American people 133 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: to put a check on the insanity. And when you 134 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: think about insanity, and it is the right word, imagine 135 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:53,079 Speaker 1: the insanity of an American Secretary of Defense demanding patriotic 136 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: obedience and flag waving behind his failed attack that did 137 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: not accomplish what had set out to accomplish. Did not 138 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: disarm the Iranians, did not obliterate the enriched uranium, did 139 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: not break their will to possess a nuclear weapon, did 140 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 1: none of the things that the attack was supposed to do. 141 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: And yet the political demand is Trump's a war hero. 142 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 3: No, it's madness. And none of these people can be trusted. 143 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 1: They lack the moral authority to lead this nation, which 144 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 1: they have divided and to yet another Middle Eastern war. 145 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,719 Speaker 1: They cannot be trusted because they all of them are 146 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: liars or degenerates or both, or crazy or cult members 147 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: or all of the above. This is the most unfit 148 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: security cabinet in the history of the United States, and 149 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: it is absolutely the bottom dregs of the barrel in 150 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:01,079 Speaker 1: the atomic age. God help us all. I'm Steve Schmidt. 151 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 1: This is the warning.
