WEBVTT - Handcuffing A U.S. Senator Undermines Our Entire Democracy

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:04.960
<v Speaker 1>This is the warning twenty four hours to go until

0:00:05.120 --> 0:00:10.480
<v Speaker 1>thousands of protests start taking place all over the United States.

0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:16.840
<v Speaker 1>In Washington, DC, a grotesque display an abuse of the military.

0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:21.479
<v Speaker 1>Here is how Congressman Jake Auchincloss, a marine veteran, a

0:00:21.560 --> 0:00:26.320
<v Speaker 1>combat leader in Afghanistan, put it on the warning yesterday.

0:00:26.280 --> 0:00:30.840
<v Speaker 2>And I think it's twofold. The first is the sergeants

0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:34.599
<v Speaker 2>and corporals. The sergeants and corporals are probably in their

0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:37.479
<v Speaker 2>late twenties, early thirties. These are marines who have been

0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:41.080
<v Speaker 2>training for five to ten years as infantry marines to

0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:44.839
<v Speaker 2>do close quarters urban combat. And that means that you

0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:47.760
<v Speaker 2>train fires on a given building, you clear out that

0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:51.520
<v Speaker 2>building with three to five marines, and then you train

0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:54.600
<v Speaker 2>your fires on the next building until you sequentially basically

0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:57.080
<v Speaker 2>cordon off an entire section of the city. It's the

0:00:57.160 --> 0:00:59.400
<v Speaker 2>kind of combat that you do against the People's Liberation

0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:01.520
<v Speaker 2>Army or the Runnian Revolutionary Guard Corps.

0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:02.920
<v Speaker 3>It is wholly.

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:05.200
<v Speaker 2>Unfit for service if you're trying to do crowd control

0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:06.160
<v Speaker 2>in Los Angeles.

0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Seventh Marines will be in Los Angeles. They will have

0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>live ammunition on them, but it will not be loaded

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:17.200
<v Speaker 1>into their weapons. There are thousands of federal troops on

0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:21.759
<v Speaker 1>the streets. The great overreaction that we have seen, the

0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:26.319
<v Speaker 1>abysmal response to the acts of violence by too many

0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:29.640
<v Speaker 1>Democratic leaders who were paralyzed by.

0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:33.920
<v Speaker 3>All things, including by Trump, including by the rioters.

0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Alex Paedia, a United States Senator, was not one of them.

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.959
<v Speaker 1>He was in the Federal building and United States senator

0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:45.920
<v Speaker 1>walked into a public room in a public building and

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:50.600
<v Speaker 1>at a public event. The United States Senator asked a

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 1>question or tried to of the Homeland Security Secretary. Now

0:01:55.920 --> 0:02:01.840
<v Speaker 1>what happened shocked the conscience of anybody and everybody who

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:06.840
<v Speaker 1>has any appreciation for the United States government, for the Republic,

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.640
<v Speaker 1>for the checks and balances, for decorum.

0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:14.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm center. I have a questions for the secretary because

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:16.000
<v Speaker 3>the fact that the matter.

0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:19.720
<v Speaker 4>Is half a dozen selling criminals that you're hitting on

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:21.440
<v Speaker 4>your on your.

0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 3>I also head of.

0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:27.480
<v Speaker 5>How many of our iceations have been ducks for being

0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:29.920
<v Speaker 5>their beating, how they have been targeted.

0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:36.040
<v Speaker 1>What happened here was not okay. Now, knowing there's a

0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:39.720
<v Speaker 1>bear in the woods is different than seeing the bear

0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:43.000
<v Speaker 1>in the woods. Even knowing that there's a bear in

0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>those woods, as in Yellowstone doesn't guarantee that you'll see

0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:52.040
<v Speaker 1>the bear. So when you see the bear, it's always

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:55.160
<v Speaker 1>a treat. And that's how we should think about the

0:02:55.240 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 1>live formation that's embedded so deeply in the heart of

0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:05.600
<v Speaker 1>the MAGA conspiracy to tear down American democracy. And so

0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 1>the lies are constant, but rarely do we see them

0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:14.720
<v Speaker 1>at that moment of their spawning, like the baby turtles

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.799
<v Speaker 1>hatching on a beach and making it to the ocean.

0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:21.640
<v Speaker 1>The lie coming to life in real time, and thankfully

0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Nicole Wallace caught it in real time and she called

0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:27.200
<v Speaker 1>it out in real time.

0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:31.560
<v Speaker 4>To be doing what they're doing in full view of

0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:36.240
<v Speaker 4>the cameras really does make the mind expand in new

0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:39.000
<v Speaker 4>directions in terms of wondering what they're doing to people

0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:41.120
<v Speaker 4>who don't have you, who aren't one of a body

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.400
<v Speaker 4>of one hundred and where there aren't cameras rolling.

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Let's appreciate that we live in the most complex society

0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:54.040
<v Speaker 1>in the history of the world, and our democracy is

0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 1>federalists in nature. It means that we appreciate that there's

0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:04.840
<v Speaker 1>vast differences across the republic, that we have a pluralistic society,

0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:09.480
<v Speaker 1>and that there are different strokes for different folks. We

0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:14.240
<v Speaker 1>have some states that are deeply conservative, like for example, Idaho,

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:18.400
<v Speaker 1>and we have some states that are true blue or.

0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:20.839
<v Speaker 3>Democratic, like California.

0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:26.360
<v Speaker 1>Some of those states functionally are one party states, like Texas.

0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:30.039
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's particularly healthy, but that's what the

0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:34.360
<v Speaker 1>voters have chosen, just like in California. So when we

0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:37.239
<v Speaker 1>look at the grotesque attack.

0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:39.120
<v Speaker 3>On US Senator Padea.

0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:43.919
<v Speaker 1>We have to appreciate that even beyond that, there's something

0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:49.440
<v Speaker 1>bigger happening, something bigger than the assault by federal forces

0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:55.599
<v Speaker 1>on Los Angeles, even something bigger than the assault on California.

0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:59.760
<v Speaker 1>And it's this statement by Christy Know where she asserts,

0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:04.760
<v Speaker 1>we're here to stay until we liberate the city from

0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:05.799
<v Speaker 1>the socialists.

0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:09.280
<v Speaker 5>You're not going away. We are staying here to liberate

0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:16.000
<v Speaker 5>the city from the socialist and the burdensome leadership that

0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:19.880
<v Speaker 5>this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country.

0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:21.440
<v Speaker 3>What is she talking about.

0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:28.000
<v Speaker 1>This is madness, weapons grade insanity. Gavin Newsom may not

0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:30.880
<v Speaker 1>be your cup of tea, he may not be mine

0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:33.880
<v Speaker 1>on any given day, but here's the deal. He was

0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:38.280
<v Speaker 1>elected by California voters twice to be the governor of

0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:43.359
<v Speaker 1>the state overwhelmingly. In fact, Karen Bass definitely not my

0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:47.240
<v Speaker 1>cup of tea, but she won the election. She's the

0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:50.560
<v Speaker 1>mayor of Los Angeles. That's who the voters of Los

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:54.800
<v Speaker 1>Angeles picked. And that is none of the business of

0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:58.839
<v Speaker 1>the Secretary of Homeland Security, who should have an appreciation

0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:02.479
<v Speaker 1>at a basic level for how the American society is

0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:06.560
<v Speaker 1>shaped and how its government operates. Given that she was

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:10.400
<v Speaker 1>a member of Congress and the governor of South Dakota. Now,

0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:15.200
<v Speaker 1>Christie no outside of a few jurisdictions in California, couldn't

0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:19.200
<v Speaker 1>get elected dogcapture, and the fact that she was elected

0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:23.120
<v Speaker 1>in South Dakota has proved positive. Gavin Newsom wouldn't do

0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:24.520
<v Speaker 1>well in that jurisdiction.

0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 3>That's the way it works.

0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:30.000
<v Speaker 1>So when you look at this madness and you look

0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:34.359
<v Speaker 1>at the statement, you have to multiply the insanity with

0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:38.560
<v Speaker 1>the effect of the power displayed with the authority at hand.

0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:45.800
<v Speaker 1>So Christie Nome has, with a small cabal, actualized her

0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:51.440
<v Speaker 1>sick twisted vision into reality. And so one of the

0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:54.600
<v Speaker 1>most storied combat units in the history of the United

0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:59.800
<v Speaker 1>States military, the seventh Marines, who fought Acguadalcanal, in the

0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:05.920
<v Speaker 1>Chosan Reservoir in Afghanistan and Iraq are fully kitted up

0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:08.839
<v Speaker 1>on the streets of Los Angeles with the power to

0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:13.720
<v Speaker 1>detain American citizens in support of a law enforcement function.

0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:17.240
<v Speaker 1>And it's unacceptable the use of the military and the

0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:21.120
<v Speaker 1>threat to use the military, and the debasement of the military,

0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:24.720
<v Speaker 1>with Donald Trump's abuse of it this weekend, with his

0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:30.040
<v Speaker 1>unholy parade and the cheering of enlisted soldiers used as props.

0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:35.240
<v Speaker 1>Eighty second Airborne power troopers whipped into a frenzy against

0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:38.800
<v Speaker 1>millions of people in the country by their commander in

0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:44.760
<v Speaker 1>chief was a dangerous moment. This moment requires some perspective

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:49.120
<v Speaker 1>and some deep reasoning and logic. What Christy Noman is

0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:52.960
<v Speaker 1>suggesting is that with his forty nine point five percent

0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:57.800
<v Speaker 1>plurality victory, that Donald Trump has a mandate to undo

0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:01.920
<v Speaker 1>every other election in the country. The position on the

0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:06.640
<v Speaker 1>table is you will either love Trump or we will

0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:09.760
<v Speaker 1>liberate you so that you may love Trump.

0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:11.000
<v Speaker 3>No thanks.

0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:15.640
<v Speaker 1>What we're seeing must be opposed, and what we are

0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:23.040
<v Speaker 1>seeing is a growing, growling officiousness, a spreading arrogance. You

0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:26.760
<v Speaker 1>see it in the thuggery of these special agents. Who

0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:30.600
<v Speaker 1>do they think they are laying hands upon a United

0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:34.400
<v Speaker 1>States Senator in a federal building. Asking a question of

0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:39.240
<v Speaker 1>a cabinet secretary, who do they think they are? Is

0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:44.320
<v Speaker 1>directly related to who does she think she is? Her

0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:50.319
<v Speaker 1>behavior is outrageous, her misconduct is obvious?

0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:53.599
<v Speaker 3>And why is it that.

0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:57.959
<v Speaker 1>The presence of Corey Lewandowski is not reported on by

0:08:58.000 --> 0:08:59.520
<v Speaker 1>The New York Times by.

0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:00.800
<v Speaker 3>The Washington Post.

0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:03.880
<v Speaker 1>But there he is lurking in the background, and according

0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:07.400
<v Speaker 1>to some media reports, he is the married boyfriend of

0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:12.239
<v Speaker 1>the Homeland Security Secretary. He is the disgraced former campaign

0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:16.560
<v Speaker 1>manager of Donald Trump whose last interaction with MAGA led

0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:20.360
<v Speaker 1>to his boot after he assaulted the wife of a

0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:24.839
<v Speaker 1>MAGA donor. Which is interesting because when you think about it,

0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:30.160
<v Speaker 1>Christy Nomes Goons treated a United States Senator Alex Paedia

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:36.280
<v Speaker 1>precisely like Corey Lewandowski has manhandled reporters in the past,

0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.600
<v Speaker 1>and how he manhandled the wife of the big MAGA

0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:44.200
<v Speaker 1>donor that resulted in his temporary exile until he was

0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:48.520
<v Speaker 1>able to set up shop as secret Gestapo advisor to

0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Christie Nome who he serves under apparently and a number

0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:54.160
<v Speaker 1>of different positions.

0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:56.319
<v Speaker 3>This is madness.

0:09:56.840 --> 0:10:04.679
<v Speaker 1>It is insanity, and it requires consistent, constant confrontation and

0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:10.040
<v Speaker 1>an absolute fierce determination not to yield to it, not

0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:14.079
<v Speaker 1>to bow to it, not to submit to the idea

0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:18.040
<v Speaker 1>of the madness that Trump somehow needs to send in

0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:23.400
<v Speaker 1>the Marines to liberate Los Angeles. It's a lie, spectacular,

0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:30.640
<v Speaker 1>hit larian, audacious, daring, sick and Trump and no manipulate

0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:36.800
<v Speaker 1>the conflict driven media that craves the ratings, that demands

0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:41.199
<v Speaker 1>the conflict like heroin addicts, like junkies who want more

0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:45.400
<v Speaker 1>and more and more and more. The American people eat

0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:50.240
<v Speaker 1>it up, the raids, the division, the hatred, and over

0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:53.960
<v Speaker 1>ten long years, what we've seen that even in twenty

0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:58.479
<v Speaker 1>twenty five, even in this modern era, yes, it's possible

0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:02.400
<v Speaker 1>to whip the mob into a frenzy and send it marching.

0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:05.080
<v Speaker 3>And that's what we're witnessing.

0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:09.520
<v Speaker 1>And so twenty four hours from now, two things will

0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:13.080
<v Speaker 1>make contact with one another, the voice of the American

0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:17.280
<v Speaker 1>people and the delusions of a man who wishes to

0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:22.439
<v Speaker 1>be tyrant and has the power to pretend that the

0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:27.000
<v Speaker 1>American people are his enemies and he is their liberator

0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:31.000
<v Speaker 1>and the force at his disposal to respond to those

0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:35.720
<v Speaker 1>enemies until they're liberated until they love him. And so

0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:40.880
<v Speaker 1>a terrible season has bloomed in the United States, something

0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:44.720
<v Speaker 1>that was thought impossible. We stand at the edge of

0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:48.520
<v Speaker 1>how we got here. Could go on for days, but

0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:51.680
<v Speaker 1>here we are, and we can go no further. What

0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:55.760
<v Speaker 1>is happening must be confronted and it must be stopped.

0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:58.360
<v Speaker 1>And one of the things that I'd like to ask

0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:00.640
<v Speaker 1>you to do is to check it out to Save

0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:04.719
<v Speaker 1>America Movement, to look at the website and join up

0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:07.960
<v Speaker 1>so we can stand together and we can fight back

0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:10.000
<v Speaker 1>against this because we have to.

0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.040
<v Speaker 3>Because we're all going to be judged.

0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:15.120
<v Speaker 1>There's going to be a question about how we measured

0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:20.719
<v Speaker 1>up in a moment when every idea and ideal of

0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:25.800
<v Speaker 1>the country is being tested, put into contestation, on the

0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:29.800
<v Speaker 1>edge of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the

0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:34.720
<v Speaker 1>birth of the greatest force for the upward progress of

0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:39.720
<v Speaker 1>mankind in all of human history, The United States, a

0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:43.000
<v Speaker 1>nation of immigrants, made up of all the people of

0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:48.160
<v Speaker 1>the world, where even today every single language known to

0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:51.679
<v Speaker 1>man in this land is commonly spoken.

0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:57.280
<v Speaker 3>This country built on an idea about dignity, about freedom.

0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:01.439
<v Speaker 1>The story of this country, which is the March towards

0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:05.280
<v Speaker 1>the achievement of that freedom for all people. That is

0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:09.679
<v Speaker 1>a glorious story and a noble one, because together we

0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:15.240
<v Speaker 1>are freed, more people liberated, more people cured, more people clothed,

0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:21.280
<v Speaker 1>more people fed, more people explored, more places liberated, invented,

0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:27.040
<v Speaker 1>more things imagined, more inventions into creation, and a whole

0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:30.000
<v Speaker 1>of the other peoples of the world put together since

0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.720
<v Speaker 1>the beginning of time. We live in a magical country

0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:37.800
<v Speaker 1>under assault from a puerile leadership, fascists who have revealed

0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:41.280
<v Speaker 1>themselves and bared their teeth, and we must say no more.

0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:44.120
<v Speaker 3>There are no kings in America.

0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:49.160
<v Speaker 1>So tomorrow march with your chins up and your heart's clear,

0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:52.800
<v Speaker 1>certain in the knowledge that you stand on the right

0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:57.280
<v Speaker 1>side of history against something terrible, in defense of something noble.

0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:01.800
<v Speaker 1>March as an American, raised American flag high. Do not

0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:07.680
<v Speaker 1>let Donald Trump's bluster be confused for anything other than

0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:09.840
<v Speaker 1>malice and venom.

0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:13.679
<v Speaker 3>He is a national disease, a sickness.

0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:17.720
<v Speaker 1>And what will come after this terrible era is recovery

0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:21.880
<v Speaker 1>and renewal. But first the test and the test for

0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:25.640
<v Speaker 1>all of us, a nation of three hundred and fifty

0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:27.840
<v Speaker 1>two million free men and women.

0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:30.960
<v Speaker 3>Is simple. Are we going to submit to.

0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Trump and a gang of two hundred people who hold

0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:39.200
<v Speaker 1>temporary positions of political power with limitations and say that

0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:42.360
<v Speaker 1>you are kings and we are your serfs. You may

0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:46.120
<v Speaker 1>take as you please and we will give as you demand.

0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Because what I say to that, and I hope you

0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:54.520
<v Speaker 1>will join me and agreeing is never I'm Steve Schmidt.

0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:55.880
<v Speaker 3>This is the warning.

0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:58.920
<v Speaker 1>I invite you to join this community where I promise

0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:03.040
<v Speaker 1>to be honest, blunt and direct about what is happening

0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:07.600
<v Speaker 1>in this country. America is in crisis. Follow and subscribe

0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:09.560
<v Speaker 1>to this channel and on substack.

0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:10.160
<v Speaker 3>Thank you
