1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: It is Friday, April tenth, twenty twenty six. I'm Steve Schmidt. 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 1: It is the fifteenth week of the year, and there 3 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,880 Speaker 1: are two hundred and six days left until the mid 4 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:17,279 Speaker 1: term elections. On this the one hundred and fourteenth anniversary 5 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 1: of the maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic, the ship 6 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 1: that God himself could not sink. For those of you 7 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 1: interested in an original member's only content, join us on 8 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: our YouTube channel. This is the morning the week mercifully 9 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: has ended without holocaust, without an armageddon, without the erasure 10 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:48,160 Speaker 1: of a seven thousand year old civilization, without the murder 11 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: of ninety three million people who were threatened with extinction. 12 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: Not by Saddam Hussein, not by a latter day polepot 13 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: or styling an unhiten dictator somewhere, not by a madman 14 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: from their cave. The President of the United States on 15 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: Easter Sunday. This deserves to be dwelt on deeply and 16 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 1: seriously by America's political leaders, by its business leaders, by 17 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 1: its teachers, by moms and dads, by its soldiers, sailors, airmen, 18 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:27,119 Speaker 1: and marines. There is something about the American culture, even 19 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: when it's not true. We have always fancied ourselves as 20 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: the good guys, and the good guys don't threaten the Holocaust. 21 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:41,199 Speaker 1: The Persian culture is ancient, and it is beautiful. It 22 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: is a cornerstone of human civilization. Imagine the arrogance, Imagine 23 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: the emotional sickness, the meglomania that allows one single human 24 00:01:55,160 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: being to believe that they alone should determine ninety three 25 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: million people should live or die. But also that the 26 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: stories of a civilization that proceed by thousands of years 27 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: the birth of Christ, whether it should be ended, absolute utter, 28 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: total madness. The second thing that happened this week is 29 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: the United States lost the war to Iran in twenty 30 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: twenty six. This was a war of aggression. This was 31 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: a war that Donald Trump started. Singularly, this was a 32 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: war that Donald Trump began without any idea of what 33 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: it was to win, without any plan to leave, and 34 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: thus without a plan, without a strategy. Donald Trump has 35 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: accomplished something incredible. He has turned the Straight of Horror 36 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: muz an undisputed international waterway into an Iranian toll road 37 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:01,119 Speaker 1: from which they stand to make billions of dollars. Iran 38 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: has not lost anything. They have gained control of the 39 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: Strait of Hormuz and Donald Trump isolated on the world stage. 40 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, without the support of NATO allies or any allies, 41 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: is checkmated. He can escalate or he can retreat. What 42 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: Trump has done is called the retreat of victory. And 43 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: he looks crazy, utterly delusional, as delusional as Pete Hegsath 44 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,119 Speaker 1: talking about the US force being protected in Jesus' name, 45 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: trying to turn his Iran adventurism into a crusade. 46 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 2: Our troops, our American warriors, deserve the credit for this day, 47 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 2: but God deserves all the glory. Tens of thousands of sorties, 48 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 2: refuelings and strikes carried out under the protection of divine providence, 49 00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 2: a massive effort with miraculous protection. Dude forty four Bravo 50 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 2: spoke for. 51 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: All of us. 52 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 2: God is good. The Chairman will now provide an even 53 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 2: deeper military detail on the historic successive Operation Epic Fure. 54 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: It's not a crusade, but it does raise questions about 55 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: whether Pete Hegsath is mentally ill or not. And the 56 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: last story of the week that no one saw coming, 57 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: not even Trump, who was in a meeting trying to 58 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 1: figure out what to do in his disaster of a war. 59 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: Was Milania, who entered the room as if she were 60 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: the head of state, standing behind a podium embossed with 61 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: the seal of the American head of State, standing under 62 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 1: the presidential seal, the red carpet walk. Milania has deigned 63 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: to speak to us commoners. This woman, this visionary as 64 00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: she calls herself, this woman who lives a difficult according 65 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: to her alone at the top, wanted to make something clear. 66 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: She too is a victim of the nefarious plot against 67 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: the Trumps. Good people, a good family with strong values. 68 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: Mulania was not friends with Jeffrey Epstein. Mulania did not 69 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: know Gislaine Maxwell, the convicted sex trafficker to whom she 70 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: wrote many letters. 71 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 3: The lies linking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein need 72 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 3: to end today. The individuals lying about me a devoid 73 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 3: of ethical standards, humility, and respect. 74 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 1: I do not. 75 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 3: Object to their ignorance, but rather I reject their mean 76 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 3: spirited attempts to defame my reputation. I never be in 77 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:04,799 Speaker 3: friends with Donald and I were invited to the same 78 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 3: parties as Epstein from time to time since overlapping in 79 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:16,799 Speaker 3: social circles is common in New York City and Palm Beach. 80 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: No, Mulania wants to make sure the victims whose identities 81 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: have been exposed by the incompetence of Pam Bondi's justice department. 82 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 1: She wants them to testify in front of Congress. Here's 83 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: the deal. America knows what happened to the victims. America 84 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: wants to know who the abusers are, not that depravity's 85 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: done to the victims. That's what Mulania doesn't understand. Queen 86 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: of the Epstein class who presides over the demolished East Wing, 87 00:06:53,640 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 1: A sick and corrupt woman married to an evil man, ice, cold, uncaring, unfeeling, 88 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: Unamerican Malania Trump. And these were the stories of this 89 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: the fifteenth week of twenty twenty six. And this is 90 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: the warning. Things will get worse. I'm Steve Schmidt. This 91 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: is the warning.
