1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:05,880 Speaker 1: I believe that I can say this without hypperably and 2 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: I and I've been accused of being hyperbolic by people 3 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: who have said, oh, hey, you exaggerate the threat that 4 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,919 Speaker 1: Trump poses. And I think that I've been proven right 5 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 1: and they've been proven wrong. You know a lot about 6 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:34,599 Speaker 1: military history and about the institutions. We have had incompetent 7 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: generals and leaders and officers in the military. We've had 8 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: corrupt officials in the military. Is there anybody who is 9 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: worse than Pete Hagsass in the whole history of the country, 10 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: who's held a position of comparable responsibility in the whole 11 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: of the two hundred and fifty year existence. At these inscritions, 12 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: I'm prepared to right now call the question, but stow 13 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:13,199 Speaker 1: on him the all time gold medal, like Babe Ruth 14 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: generally acknowledged to be the greatest baseball player, right, maybe 15 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:24,479 Speaker 1: Willie Mays right, But I'm talking at the next level 16 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: of dip shittery. If the United States Army makes it 17 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: to its thousand anniversary, from this mark of two hundred 18 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: and fifty years, for seven hundred and fifty years, they'll 19 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 1: be singing cadences about this dipshit as a warning never 20 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: ever again, do you do you you to you too much? 21 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: Or there he is. 22 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 2: I think that is about right. I see a silver 23 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 2: lining in this, which is that for all of the 24 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 2: enormous threats that this administration poses to the Constitution and 25 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 2: to the American people, the fact that they have staffed 26 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 2: their regime with such incompetent as you put in dipshits means, 27 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 2: you know, we've got to fight and chance here. I 28 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 2: know we're not talking about Lindsay Alligan, but look at 29 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 2: how that case dissolved. I mean, the level of incompetence 30 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 2: in this administration is really the best thing we've got 31 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 2: going for us. And in the case of Hegsath and 32 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 2: the Department of Defense, we're not calling it the Department 33 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 2: of War. This so called investigation of Kelly is going 34 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 2: to fall apart in the first week. There is no 35 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 2: way they're going to get anything on him. In fact, 36 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 2: that they should just volunteer now to do all of 37 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 2: his senatorial fundraising because they just put him in front 38 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 2: runner status for twenty twenty eight. 39 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I. 40 00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 2: Cannot imagine a more incompetent approach. The response to this 41 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 2: video these six patriots put. 42 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: Out Okay, so we gotta unpack all of this. When 43 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: you have an imbecile, the dimensions of a pete hag set, 44 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: their possibilities for all manner of busterfuckery exceed normal imaginings, 45 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: and their capacity to really roll a grenade and to 46 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: blow stuff up and to do something like this, which 47 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: is like ten different levels stupid, right, really incredible. We 48 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: gotta we gotta unpack it. We gotta unpack it all. 49 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: And happy Thanksgivings, Black Friday, and there's a deal for 50 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: you at the Warning Merge Store.

So let me 54 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: let me start just by saying that I can't help 55 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: but notice the similarities to the script of any given 56 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: Hogan's Heroes episode where the Stapo officer appears right with 57 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: Colonel Klank Schultz is always there, who knows nothing, and 58 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 1: there's always a we will caught most you, we will 59 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: send you to the Eastern Front. Right. So it's so 60 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: it's this is really like a caricature. We have this 61 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: paranoid freak show three times married, accused of all manner 62 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: of abuses, jumping onto a table drawn kill all the 63 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: Muslims for stoons with Christian nationalist tattoos. This guy derided 64 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: as you know, the major as you pointed out, by 65 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: the right, by the by the brass, this guy I 66 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: is doing the Hogan's heroes. Here. I will court martial 67 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: you right, whole thing. Here's the problem. So we have 68 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: a constitution. Constitution establishes an article one, Article two, Article three, 69 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: branch of government. All these branches are coequal. The Secretary 70 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: of Defense, and that's the title. And I just want 71 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: to say to everybody in case I die tonight, one 72 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: of the things that I want you to remember about 73 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: me is how crazy it drives me the notion that 74 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: the media in this country calls Apafoon the secretary of War. 75 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: We have no secretary of war. There is no Department 76 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: of War. In nineteen forty seven, the United States military, 77 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: which stood men under arms at about sixteen million fair 78 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: number of women, had risen in seven years time to 79 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: be the most potent military in the history of the world, 80 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: from the thirty eighth largest forces. It was reorganized in 81 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: nineteen forty seven is it was desegregated, and the National 82 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: Military Establishment, the NME under statute came known as the 83 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 1: Department of Defense. And so help me God, if I 84 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: had a position of responsibility in the next presidential administration, 85 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 1: one of the things that I would be an advocate 86 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: for is the sign that hung on the Pentagon for 87 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 1: seventy years has said that iconic sign Department of Defense 88 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: from the date of the dedication of the building, which 89 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: most people don't remember, but it was September eleventh, nineteen 90 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: forty one. It was on September eleventh that that was 91 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 1: what was pride off with HEG SAS's new signs screwed 92 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 1: in Department of War. I have a better idea, so 93 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: we'll pry that sign off, and what I think is 94 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: it should just lay there then shipped right Barren desecrated 95 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: for the next seventy years to remind every officer, every NCO, 96 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: and every civilian with responsibility for America's fighting men and 97 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: women about the season that that place was held hostage 98 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: by a dipshit and scumbag as big as Pete Hegg 99 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: sat right. So that's that's my view on that. But 100 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: at any rate, it's a very important concept in the 101 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: American government that I'm about to articulate again. We have 102 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: the coequality of the branches. Pete Heggsath has no zero 103 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: jurisdiction whatsoever to investigate the speech of a United States Senator. 104 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: The United States Senator, however, has absolute jurisdiction to investigate 105 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: the conduct of a lawless Secretary of Defense. Let me 106 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: say that again. He Headset has no jurisdiction, but Mark 107 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: Kelly and his colleagues do. And I want to say 108 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 1: something regarding the coming Democratic majority. There can be no 109 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: emptiness in the victory. I want explicit campaign promises made 110 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: in writing in plain English that are rock solid. I 111 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: want the lawless cabinet impeached. One Pete Hegseth impeached, Want 112 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: Christy Noman impeached, Wan Cash Bettel impeached, while Robert Kennedy impeached, 113 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 1: and then they can stand trial in the Senate. All 114 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: of them deserve impeachment. And there must be accountability and 115 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: investigation of the lawlessness of the illegal orders. I'm Steve Schmidt. 116 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: This is the warning.
