Speaker 1: I believe that I can say this without hypperably and
Speaker 1: I and I've been accused of being hyperbolic by people
Speaker 1: who have said, oh, hey, you exaggerate the threat that
Speaker 1: Trump poses. And I think that I've been proven right
Speaker 1: and they've been proven wrong. You know a lot about
Speaker 1: military history and about the institutions. We have had incompetent
Speaker 1: generals and leaders and officers in the military. We've had
Speaker 1: corrupt officials in the military. Is there anybody who is
Speaker 1: worse than Pete Hagsass in the whole history of the country,
Speaker 1: who's held a position of comparable responsibility in the whole
Speaker 1: of the two hundred and fifty year existence. At these inscritions,
Speaker 1: I'm prepared to right now call the question, but stow
Speaker 1: on him the all time gold medal, like Babe Ruth
Speaker 1: generally acknowledged to be the greatest baseball player, right, maybe
Speaker 1: Willie Mays right, But I'm talking at the next level
Speaker 1: of dip shittery. If the United States Army makes it
Speaker 1: to its thousand anniversary, from this mark of two hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty years, for seven hundred and fifty years, they'll
Speaker 1: be singing cadences about this dipshit as a warning never
Speaker 1: ever again, do you do you you to you too much?
Speaker 1: Or there he is.
Speaker 2: I think that is about right. I see a silver
Speaker 2: lining in this, which is that for all of the
Speaker 2: enormous threats that this administration poses to the Constitution and
Speaker 2: to the American people, the fact that they have staffed
Speaker 2: their regime with such incompetent as you put in dipshits means,
Speaker 2: you know, we've got to fight and chance here. I
Speaker 2: know we're not talking about Lindsay Alligan, but look at
Speaker 2: how that case dissolved. I mean, the level of incompetence
Speaker 2: in this administration is really the best thing we've got
Speaker 2: going for us. And in the case of Hegsath and
Speaker 2: the Department of Defense, we're not calling it the Department
Speaker 2: of War. This so called investigation of Kelly is going
Speaker 2: to fall apart in the first week. There is no
Speaker 2: way they're going to get anything on him. In fact,
Speaker 2: that they should just volunteer now to do all of
Speaker 2: his senatorial fundraising because they just put him in front
Speaker 2: runner status for twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 1: I mean, I.
Speaker 2: Cannot imagine a more incompetent approach. The response to this
Speaker 2: video these six patriots put.
Speaker 1: Out Okay, so we gotta unpack all of this. When
Speaker 1: you have an imbecile, the dimensions of a pete hag set,
Speaker 1: their possibilities for all manner of busterfuckery exceed normal imaginings,
Speaker 1: and their capacity to really roll a grenade and to
Speaker 1: blow stuff up and to do something like this, which
Speaker 1: is like ten different levels stupid, right, really incredible. We
Speaker 1: gotta we gotta unpack it. We gotta unpack it all.
Speaker 1: And happy Thanksgivings, Black Friday, and there's a deal for
Speaker 1: you at the Warning Merge Store. Get your posters, get
Speaker 1: your t shirts, get your hoodies, get your sweatshirts, get
Speaker 1: your coffee mugs, and get it all at a twenty
Speaker 1: percent discount for a limited time only. So let me
Speaker 1: let me start just by saying that I can't help
Speaker 1: but notice the similarities to the script of any given
Speaker 1: Hogan's Heroes episode where the Stapo officer appears right with
Speaker 1: Colonel Klank Schultz is always there, who knows nothing, and
Speaker 1: there's always a we will caught most you, we will
Speaker 1: send you to the Eastern Front. Right. So it's so
Speaker 1: it's this is really like a caricature. We have this
Speaker 1: paranoid freak show three times married, accused of all manner
Speaker 1: of abuses, jumping onto a table drawn kill all the
Speaker 1: Muslims for stoons with Christian nationalist tattoos. This guy derided
Speaker 1: as you know, the major as you pointed out, by
Speaker 1: the right, by the by the brass, this guy I
Speaker 1: is doing the Hogan's heroes. Here. I will court martial
Speaker 1: you right, whole thing. Here's the problem. So we have
Speaker 1: a constitution. Constitution establishes an article one, Article two, Article three,
Speaker 1: branch of government. All these branches are coequal. The Secretary
Speaker 1: of Defense, and that's the title. And I just want
Speaker 1: to say to everybody in case I die tonight, one
Speaker 1: of the things that I want you to remember about
Speaker 1: me is how crazy it drives me the notion that
Speaker 1: the media in this country calls Apafoon the secretary of War.
Speaker 1: We have no secretary of war. There is no Department
Speaker 1: of War. In nineteen forty seven, the United States military,
Speaker 1: which stood men under arms at about sixteen million fair
Speaker 1: number of women, had risen in seven years time to
Speaker 1: be the most potent military in the history of the world,
Speaker 1: from the thirty eighth largest forces. It was reorganized in
Speaker 1: nineteen forty seven is it was desegregated, and the National
Speaker 1: Military Establishment, the NME under statute came known as the
Speaker 1: Department of Defense. And so help me God, if I
Speaker 1: had a position of responsibility in the next presidential administration,
Speaker 1: one of the things that I would be an advocate
Speaker 1: for is the sign that hung on the Pentagon for
Speaker 1: seventy years has said that iconic sign Department of Defense
Speaker 1: from the date of the dedication of the building, which
Speaker 1: most people don't remember, but it was September eleventh, nineteen
Speaker 1: forty one. It was on September eleventh that that was
Speaker 1: what was pride off with HEG SAS's new signs screwed
Speaker 1: in Department of War. I have a better idea, so
Speaker 1: we'll pry that sign off, and what I think is
Speaker 1: it should just lay there then shipped right Barren desecrated
Speaker 1: for the next seventy years to remind every officer, every NCO,
Speaker 1: and every civilian with responsibility for America's fighting men and
Speaker 1: women about the season that that place was held hostage
Speaker 1: by a dipshit and scumbag as big as Pete Hegg
Speaker 1: sat right. So that's that's my view on that. But
Speaker 1: at any rate, it's a very important concept in the
Speaker 1: American government that I'm about to articulate again. We have
Speaker 1: the coequality of the branches. Pete Heggsath has no zero
Speaker 1: jurisdiction whatsoever to investigate the speech of a United States Senator.
Speaker 1: The United States Senator, however, has absolute jurisdiction to investigate
Speaker 1: the conduct of a lawless Secretary of Defense. Let me
Speaker 1: say that again. He Headset has no jurisdiction, but Mark
Speaker 1: Kelly and his colleagues do. And I want to say
Speaker 1: something regarding the coming Democratic majority. There can be no
Speaker 1: emptiness in the victory. I want explicit campaign promises made
Speaker 1: in writing in plain English that are rock solid. I
Speaker 1: want the lawless cabinet impeached. One Pete Hegseth impeached, Want
Speaker 1: Christy Noman impeached, Wan Cash Bettel impeached, while Robert Kennedy impeached,
Speaker 1: and then they can stand trial in the Senate. All
Speaker 1: of them deserve impeachment. And there must be accountability and
Speaker 1: investigation of the lawlessness of the illegal orders. I'm Steve Schmidt.
Speaker 1: This is the warning. I invite you to join this community,
Speaker 1: where I promise to be honest, blunt and direct about
Speaker 1: what is happening in this country. America is in crisis.
