1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: It's Wednesday, October eighth. This is the warning America is

2
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: in a state of collapse. The Republic is falling apart.

3
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: The evidence of this is what occurred in the United

4
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:17,479
Speaker 1: States Senate yesterday. It was shocking, it was farcical, but

5
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: in the end, more than anything, what it demonstrated was

6
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: the cancerous state of the American Republic. For instance, here.

7
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 2: They are going to transfer Texas National Guard units to

8
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 2: the state of Illinois. What's the retionale for that?

9
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, Chairman, as you shut down the government. You voted

10
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 3: to shut down the government, and you're sitting here. Our

11
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 3: law enforcement officers aren't being paid. They're out there working

12
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 3: to protect you. I wish you love Chicago as much

13
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 3: as you hate President Trump, and currently the National Guard

14
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 3: are on the way to Chicago. If you're not going

15
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 3: to protect your citizens, President Trump will.

16
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: We're here, you know.

17
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 3: Senator white House, you sit here and make salacious from

18
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 3: Mars once again, trying to slander President Trump left and right,

19
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 3: when you're the one who was taking money from one

20
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 3: of Epstein's closest confidence. I believe I could be wrong,

21
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 3: correct me. Read Hoffman, who is with Jeffrey Epstein on

22
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 3: multiple occasions, and the senator sitting right next to you

23
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 3: tried to block the flight logs from being released. Yeah,

24
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 3: you're really me on President Trump and some photograph with Epstein?

25
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: What about this?

26
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: This is supposed to be an oversight hearing over Please

27
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: excuse me. You can attack me after my time is over.

28
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 2: Tapped all of them, And I know you've got plenty

29
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 2: of candid tacks. We've heard them all day to day.

30
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 2: Is supposed regular order. Man Jerrem trying to speak in

31
00:01:54,400 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: this amazingness. I think it's it's valuable that the American

32
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 2: people get a sense of what you've refused to answer today.

33
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 2: So these are just some of the questions you refuse

34
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 2: to answer, but or of answer with personal attacks on

35
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: members of this committee. You were asked whether you consulted

36
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: with career ethics lawyers, as you promised you would do

37
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 2: during your nomination hearing when you approve the present receiving

38
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: a four hundred million dollar gift from the Qataris you

39
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 2: refuse to answer that question? You were asked who or

40
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 2: what role you may have played or who played the

41
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: role in asking the Trump's name be flagged in any

42
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: of the Epstein documents gathered by the FBI. You refuse

43
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 2: to answer that question. You were asked whether Holman kept

44
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 2: the fifty thousand dollars bribe money. You refuse to answer

45
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 2: that question. You were asked whether Homan paid taxes on

46
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 2: the fifty thousand dollars bribe money. You refused to answer

47
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: that question. You were asked, did career prosecutors find insufficient

48
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 2: evidence to charge James Comy? You refuse to answer that question.

49
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 2: You were asked, how are military strikes on these boats

50
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: in the Caribbean legal? And you refuse to even as

51
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 2: answer that question.

52
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: Senator Adam Schiff of California documented the questions that the

53
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: belligerent incompetent, absolutely corrupt, former Katari lobbyists, registered foreign agent

54
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: hand Bondye refuse to answer. She refuses to detail the

55
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: absolute disgusting corruption of the Trump thug Tom Homan, who

56
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: took fifty thousand dollars in a bag. Here's Christy Known

57
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: standing on a roof of the Portland war zone. Does

58
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: it look like a war to you? Does it look

59
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: like there's hand to hand combat occurring? As Stephen Miller said.

60
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: Stephen Miller in this interview just enunciated the philosophy of

61
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: the Nazis and the omption of their dictatorial power plenary powers.

62
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 4: Well, the Administration filed an appeal this morning with the

63
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 4: Ninth Circuit. I would note the Administration won an identical

64
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 4: case in the Ninth Circuit just a few months ago

65
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 4: with respect to the federalizing of the California National Guard

66
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 4: under Title ten of the US Code. The president has

67
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 4: plenary authority.

68
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: Stephen Miller has announced his hatred for half the country,

69
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: called dissent terrorism, and called the dissenter against the Trump

70
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: obscenities terrorists. These are Texas National Guard troops arriving in

71
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: the Land of Lincoln, one state invading another. There is

72
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: no reason for this other than for politics, other than

73
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: for an assertion of dominance. This is an abuse of

74
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: power without precedent, and with each step Donald Trump instigates

75
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: more violence, more chaos. Pam Bondie isn't just a disgrace.

76
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: She's a disgrace without grace, without class. The lying, skanky,

77
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: bleached blonde Florida prosecutor is dishonest. She's extreme. She is

78
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: filled and flushed with power, and boy, oh boy, do

79
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: she aim to abuse it. People around Trump are calling

80
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: for the United States military to be used to kill

81
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: American citizens, to crush dissent in the Land of the Free.

82
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: It's not in a movie. It's happening right now. The

83
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: constitutional order, the American civilization, the most advanced in the

84
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: history of humanity, is falling apart. This moment is one

85
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: where in a government of the people, by the people,

86
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: for the people, elected officials public servants have turned not

87
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: just against the people, not just against their country and

88
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: its flag and the ideas that brought it to life.

89
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: They've turned against decency. They have turned against patriotism. They

90
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: are again, and they are hard at work, and what

91
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: they're working to do is to burn down the American Republic.

92
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: The greatest tragedy in all of American history was the

93
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: indifference of a free people to a coup on January

94
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: sixth of twenty twenty one. Because the lesson that was

95
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: absorbed by the man who incited the coup is that

96
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 1: I'm strong enough to take everything from these people who

97
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: are weak enough to let me take it. His absorption

98
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: of that lesson is the singularly most dangerous thing a

99
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: fascist could conceivably come to believe about the people that

100
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: he seeks to dominate. Because now seeing nothing but softness

101
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: and weakness, Donald Trump is ready to make his move

102
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: with real guns, with real tanks, with real bullets, and

103
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: with real helicopters. The enemy is concocted from his imagination.

104
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: But let's be clear. The enemy has a name. It's

105
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: the American people. And the person who has declared the

106
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: American people their enemy is the President of the United States.

107
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: And some people say, we're not in a crisis, and

108
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: other people say, the crisis is what's happening in academia

109
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: at the universities. Some of those people now are on

110
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: powerful newsrooms, and those people, trust me, don't want you

111
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: to know, don't want you to see tappening all around

112
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: you what it is precisely that it is. You're losing

113
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: breath by breath, minute by minute, hour by hour, day

114
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: by day. This is the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt. This

115
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: is the warning. I invite you to join this community
