1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: It is Thursday, June the twelfth, twenty twenty five. This

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: is the morning the country waits with bated breath for

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 1: the first furer parade in American history, in celebration not

4
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: of the US armies two hundred and fiftieth birthday, but

5
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: of Donald Trump's. And so the spectacle the American people

6
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: are about to see is unprecedented and wasteful beyond measure.

7
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: The cost is astronomical, hundreds of millions of dollars to

8
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: ship by rail across thousands of miles the mainline battle

9
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: tank of the US Army so it can roll down

10
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: streets in the nation's capital. Paulling doesn't begin to describe it.

11
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: Any time in a democratic society you see political leaders

12
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: try to exploit the military for part and purposes in

13
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: the way that Donald Trump did at Fort Bragg. And

14
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: you can see the response and for a little news

15
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: for the fake news back there, the fake news ladies

16
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: and gentlemen, look at them, Look at them all. Oh yea, yay,

17
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: what I have to put up with fake news? What

18
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: I have to put up with that? There are right,

19
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: they've been very nice that they were impressed with that display.

20
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: I can tell you that and they took them a

21
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: little by surprise. Where you see the assertion of power

22
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: using the military for partisan aims, for political purposes. And

23
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: that's exactly what's happening in Los Angeles. It's a warning.

24
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: It's a five alarm fire bell that's sounding. It means

25
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: the democracy is in flames. What we're seeing is unhealthy, unprecedented,

26
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: and a function of Donald Trump's derangements and sickness. At

27
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: some level, he is decomposing. There's an old saying that

28
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: absolute power corrupts absolutely. And though Trump does not have

29
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: absolute power, he is surrounded absolutely by absolute sycophants. And

30
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: the price of staying close to Donald in his court,

31
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: the price of keeping your seat on the patio at

32
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:29,679
Speaker 1: Mar Alago, is absolute in total obedience to the insanity,

33
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: to the incoherence, to the lives, and to the dishonesty. Now,

34
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: in the end, Donald Trump from the Oval Office is

35
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: not commanding a war, though it is a war he

36
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: has conjured into being of sorts. What he's commanding is

37
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: a television production, the greatest Cops episode of all time.

38
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: The special guest stars the seventh Marines deployed without ammunition

39
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: in their rifles to Los Angeles to cain American citizens

40
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: people on US soil so they can be arrested. Call

41
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: it what you will, but the US Marine Corps has

42
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: been yoked to a federal law enforcement agency, which is

43
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: an active abuse towards the Marine Corps. These men are

44
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: not trained for this mission. They are one of the

45
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: world's most lethal light infantry forces, and they have been

46
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: kidnapped into Donald Trump's abuse of theater that's taking place

47
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. And it should be said that the

48
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: bonds of affection between the American people and the American military,

49
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: which for a long time has been the most respected

50
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: institution in the country, can be easily broken, easily shattered.

51
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: Watching elite forces wearing the maroon beret of the eighty

52
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: second Airborne cheer against legitimately elected American leaders in Los Angeles,

53
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: the governor of California, the mayor of Los Angeles. Hearing

54
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: them cheer against California, Hearing them cheer for political statements

55
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: does not make them a national treasure. It turns them

56
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: into a partisan militia no different than Maktada Alsader's. It

57
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: is appalling the breakdown of discipline, of military bearing of

58
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: good conduct on display of Fort Bragg was appalling. And

59
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: so the military is being abused everywhere, all at once

60
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: by a rotten commander in chief who is faithless to

61
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: his constitutional oath, who is putting the military into a terrible,

62
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: terrible position, and putting the country into a terrible position.

63
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: The armed forces of the United States face outwards, not inwards.

64
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: Forces of the United States are not the cops. And

65
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: we should, all of us, refuse to live in a

66
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: society where we are constantly threatened and surveilled, including by

67
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: predator drones, in a free society. It's unacceptable. In the

68
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: United States of America, what the American people voted for

69
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: was immigration enforcement. What the American people have gotten is

70
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: an explosion of tyranny at the hands of a demented

71
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: commander in chief, and all of it is defended and

72
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: guarded by legion of lies. And it is important to

73
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: understand that the images that are being shown around the

74
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: world that depict Los Angeles as a war zone under

75
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: siege requiring a restoration of law and order that includes

76
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: requirements that the Marines have to be brought in are alie.

77
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: It's propaganda. It's not real. Now over at David's ass

78
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: off CNN, and he's the CEO who pays himself fifty

79
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: two million dollars a year a show after show after show.

80
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: It looks like World War three, But in fact, this

81
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: is all contained to a geographically relatively small space. Square blocks,

82
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: not miles, hundreds not tens of thousands, arrested, hundreds involved

83
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: in violence not thousands. There is no insurrection, There is

84
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: no armed rebellion. What there is is a grotesque overreaction

85
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: through the distortion, willful, purposeful, and premeditated of the coverage

86
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: that's being shown to the people all over the world

87
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: that exaggerate the events and what is happening. Donald Trump

88
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: is producing a television show. It is about malice and division,

89
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: it's about threats, it's about violence. But let's be clear

90
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: and honest. He's been salivating, dreaming, drooling for this moment

91
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: for a very long time, the moment when he could

92
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: assert his power to deploy the force of the American

93
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: military against the American people to crack heads on Donald

94
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: Trump's orders. He's been fantasizing about this since he placed

95
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: that rancid ad demanding the death penalty for the Central

96
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: Park five for forty years, and here we are these

97
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: are dangerous days In nineteen sixty eight, A lot of

98
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: people think and remember a country where the wheels nearly

99
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: came off. Twenty twenty five is shaping up to have

100
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: a summer that looks a lot like nineteen sixty eight.

101
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: The protests are spreading, Trump's threats are growing, and the

102
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: tolerance of the American people for a tyrannical regime in

103
00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: Washington is about to be tested. Bob Steve Schmidt, this
