It is Tuesday, September thirtieth. This is the warning, and the American crisis is deepening everywhere you look.
The evidence of this rings out.
There is a meeting in Quantico, Virginia today where eight hundred generals and admirals, every what they call flag officer from around the world has been summoned to a meeting to be lectured by the drunken Secretary of War Pete Hagsath about the warrior ethos.
But now, of course Donald.
Trump has hijacked the meeting, and the commander in Chief himself will expect to bask in the adulation of the men who swore an oath not to a president, but to a republic, to a constitution, a constitution that goes all the way back to the beginning, the constitution that George Washington became president, after it became the law of the land. The country's in big trouble, and there's something
that we should talk honestly about. Three years ago, in twenty twenty two, after playing a leading role in the twenty campaign running the Lincoln Project that helped elect Joe Biden, I made the point that was screaming in every poll, which was the American people thought a rematch between Biden and Trump was a national catastrophe. Think of the absurdity
of the message. The Democratic Party, on the one hand, said correctly, as it turned out, the twenty twenty four was an existential election, that everything was on the line, that our democracy was on the line, that liberty was on the line. And yet the corrupt leaders of that party demanded the same type of submission of their voters
demanded by Donald Trump. Of hises, Democratic leaders demanded their voters be deaf and dumb and blind and on their knees to the idea that the only person in the whole Democratic Party that could defeat Trump was Joe Biden, who couldn't make it up the stairs and couldn't speak in a coherent sentence. So his wife, in a hand full of aids, bullied weak people into submission, and they lit the fuse for this moment. They are the architects of defeat and the reason the Democratic Party is stuck
at twenty five percent today. We are where we are because the Chuck Schumer led Senate helped seat Donald Trump's incompetent, insane, and absolutely lawless cabinet of constitutional vandals.
And arsonists.
And in March, during a negotiation where Chuck Schumer had a great deal of leverage, he used none and instead went out after appeasing Donald Trump in giving away the store, promising to lay down on the tracks. He claimed victory, and everything that has happened since then until now was set in motion by that. Here is his counterpart, Hakim Jeffreys.
Yesterday there was a frank and direct discussion with the President of the United States and Republican leaders, but significant and meaningful differences remain. Democrats are fighting to protect the healthcare of the American people, and we are not going to support a partisan Republican spending bill that continues to
gut the healthcare of everyday Americans, period full stop. Is a Republican caused health care crisis that is causing hospitals and nursing homes and community based health clinics all across the country, in rural America, urban America, small town America, the heartland of America, and black and brown communities throughout
this country. And that crisis is happening right now. And that's why we believe there is urgency to both keeping the government open, reaching a bipartisan spending agreement that actually meets the needs of the American people in terms of their health, their safety, their economic well being, and quality of life, while also addressing the dangerous Republican healthcare crisis.
Yes, Leader, bipartisanship is right around the corner. By the way, did you see the AI video the White House released after the meeting.
Look, guys, there's no way to sugarcoat it. Nobody likes Democrats anymore. We have no voters left because of all of our woke trans bullshit. Not even black people want to vote for us anymore. Even Latinos hate us. So we need new voters. And if we give all these illegal aliens free healthcare, we might be able to get them on our side so they can vote for us.
They can't even speak English.
So they won't realize we're just a bunch of woke pieces of shit, you know, at least for a while until they learn English and they realize they hate us too.
They's the answer to the bipartisanship And Chuck Schumer as hapless a person as there could conceivably be for this moment in history. First elected to office fifty years ago when I was five years old, just turned fifty five, which means I'll be getting my AARP card.
It's time for them to go.
They are ineffective, they are incompetent, and they have blundered into a fight on healthcare that they will not hold the line on in this government shutdown. Their message is incoherent, and Trump is zeroing in on their weak points. Competent political leaders would have recognized in this moment the elegance of something very simple. They didn't need to do much. In fact, even now they should aspire to do less. Donald Trump has presented himself to the American people as
an all powerful king. He controls a corrupt Supreme Court, he controls a capitulan Congress that has surrendered its checks and balances.
He controls it all.
So what is it that King Donald could conceivably need from the Democrats.
Let's role play for a second.
Imagine We're sitting across from each other at the conference table, and I'm the Democratic leader, and I say, what is it that you could conceivably want with us, aside from giving us the news personally that you're going to investigate us and our families and maybe lock us up for the crime of dissenting against the obscenities occurring in this country.
What could you need from us? Certainly it's not, Oh, I see.
You guys don't have the working votes. You don't have the votes you need us to pass something. Oh, well, you're going to have to buy that. Purchase it by doing things that we want you to do.
They no doubt you don't want to do.
And unless and until you do those things, there's no votes possible. That's the negotiating position, that's the line. And yet not only can't they draw a line, not only can't they hold the line that they have drawn, they can't even speak a sensible, coherent sentence about.
Why it's necessary to draw a line.
About what that line is about, about what's happening in the country. Because these are bubble men who live inside cloistered spaces, detached from reality, hollow men surrounded by how men and women, and they are not up to this moment, not in any way, not in any shape, not in any form. And so in a way they are the essential partner to Maga. They are the weak sisters. They are, in the end, the appeasers every fascist dreams of for
their conquest. My friends, it is time for them to go because there is a republic to save and these two guys, they're not up for the job. I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning.
