Welcome to another edition of the schmid Storm. You've got questions, I've got answers. First question is how can Donald Trump get away with saying that the Epstein case and his involvement in it is a democratic hoax after Donald Trump called it a democratic conspiracy. The short answer to that question is He's not getting away with it. He won't get away with it, and he can't get away with it.
It's important for people to stop evaluating the efficacy of Trump's lies on whether the twenty five percent of Americans who believe them speak for the rest of us. They don't. All of the people who drank the kool aid at
the People's Temple in Guyana believe Jim Jones. If he had given the same speech urging suicide with the kool aid to people outside of the temple, most people, all of them, wouldn't have drank the kool aid, simple as I. Spending all of our time on the kool aid drinkers at the expense of normal Americans is an enormous mistake. Americans see this very very clearly, and they see the incoherence, the ugliness of the Trump administration, the Trump regime. They
see it a oppose it, and they reject it. And Trump has blown apart his coalition in six months, and that coalition will reform and repudiate him, put a check on him, and deal in that manner with the lies they've been told, by turning power back over to the people that Trump hates the most, now Democrats, if they win in twenty twenty six, and they're on track to best understand that is not not an indicator that everything is hockey dory in twenty twenty eight. Question in twenty
six is put a check on Trump. Question in twenty eight is obliterate MAGA. And that is what the American people are going to have to do if they wish to continue to live in the freest country in the world. The second question is it seems, according to intelligence assessments and leaks that Donald Trump was lying when he said the Iranian nuclear program was obliterated. In fact, only one mountain was set back by two years, and the other facilities that were bombed by the US and the Israelis
will be operational again within months. This is true. The attacks did not obliterate the Iranian nuclear weapons program, nor did they take away the Iranian desire to have a nuclear weapon. In fact, what it likely did is make it clear to the Iranians the urgent necessity of having a nuclear weapon lest they be bombed again by the United States in Israel, that the negotiation failed, and that the military attack also failing prevents a window of opportunity.
You need to get the window to stop the next attack ahead of the next negotiation. And so we're in a race against time. And Donald Trump has told the country that there is no more threat because he planned the greatest military campaign in world history. Honest to god, he said that, yes, D Day doesn't count anymore at any rate. It's all absurd. None of it is true. The Uranian regime still has a nuclear weapons program, and that nuclear weapons program has not been obliterated like Donald
Trump said. So more lies, lies, lies and lies, and this world of surreality that Donald Trump is constructed isn't real, and real things have a way of manifesting themselves over delusional ones, and never more so than in the space
where nations deal with each other. The Iranian regime does not live in the pretend worlds of Fox News, either does anybody else, And that's why this country's in so much trouble because so many people in our country believe the lies of a liar, and when it comes to the efficacy of the military strikes, those lies make it harder for the next president, or a future leader, or even this president to speak clearly and directly to the American people about a threat that may have to be
dealt with. But what is it that Trump would possibly say about the need to bomb again? What he already claims was obliterated, So you can see the madness is very difficult to get around. The next question is what do you think the impact will be of the Big Beautiful Bill. Well, the Big Beautiful Bill is a monstrosity, and the Big Beautiful Bill is going to cause economic calamity in the country and is going to reduce healthcare coverage or eliminate it for up to twenty million people,
to add for million dollars to the national debt. All of the things though that the Big Beautiful Bill, this terrible, ugly bill does. The thing that will be remembered is the change that it brings to the complexion of the society with the formation of a secret police force. And I don't think most Americans have any comprehension really of how much money has been written to ICE, which is now standalone the fifteenth largest military in the world, and
they are deployed against the American people routinely. Now American citizens are being harassed, being arrested by masked thugs, many of which don't have badges on them. It is outrageous, is unacceptable, and it is un American and it must be a post. I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning.
