Speaker 1

It is Tuesday, November the eleventh. This is the warning.

Speaker 2

It is Veterans Day in the United States and Rememberance Day for our allies around the world. It is a day when the terrible and awful cost of defending freedom is remembered. That cost, apparently in America at least, has been forgotten. It has been forgotten because the evidence is clear. The Secretary of War is a buffoon, a drunk, a clown, a predator, and he was confirmed by a coequal branch

of government. All of the graves in the American Cemetery in France face west across the ocean, the shore of America. That they left is what this silent army at rest faces looking back at us from a position a permanent, silent repose. The grave sites of American soldiers are spread around the world, but we have forgotten that. The evidence for that is the rise of nick Flints and Nazis, who are now plainly, openly and importantly members of the

MAGA Coalition in good standing. The mask has dropped, and our country cannot reasonably be described as a free one, not with these obscenities taking place, not with the abuse of children by masked federal thugs, not with the sale of human flesh to a dictator in El Salvador, not with the rise of Greg Bavina and Stephen Miller. Our economy is collapsing. Amazon is celebrating the fact that soon six hundred thousand people will be replaced by robots.

Speaker 1

Elon Musk has.

Speaker 2

Signed a pay package worth a trillion dollars. This number is incomprehensible. If I say I'll meet you in a million seconds, that means in twelve days a billion, Well, that's thirty three years from now. A trillion seconds is thirty three thousand years from now.

Speaker 1

That's what a trillion is.

Speaker 2

This isn't capitalism, This isn't the free market. This is feudalism, a twisted form of capitalism, gangster capitalism. And apparently Amazon is to be the new East India Company. And all of this, every degradation, every assault against our liberty, against our freedom, deserves full, fierce, absolute, unyielding, peaceful opposition. The abuses of power are unprecedented, and they are historic, and abuses of power must be met by the full use of political power.

Speaker 1

Herein lies the great crisis.

Speaker 2

The American people are being held hostage by a corrupt, cynical, and appeasing democratic leadership that refuses to fight for things that are worth fighting for and have always been understood to be worth the fight. Look at the decrepit independent senator from the state of Maine. Listen to this man.

Speaker 3

Well, Joey, you have to go back to what the strategy was. At the beginning of the shutdown. There were two goals, both of which I support. One was standing up to Donald Trump. The other was getting some resolution

on the ACA premium tax creditation. The problem was the shutdown wasn't accomplishing either goals, and there was practically, well it was zero likelihood that it was going to In terms of standing up to Donald Trump, the shutdown actually gave him more power, Exhibit A being what he's done with the Snap and Snap benefits across the country. Oh, by the way, joe you're going to love this. Guess

who's getting paid during the shutdown. Not the park rangers or air traffic controllers, the ice agents under special law under that big awful bill that they passed last summer. The ice agents are being paid. Nobody else is. So standing up to Donald Trump didn't work. It actually gave him more power.

Speaker 1

We are his hostages. He has no spine, he has no principles, he has no judgment. Let's listened to Jeene Shaheen.

Speaker 4

What we've heard from many of our Republican colleagues and Senate is that they're willing to work on healthcare. Now we can hold them accountable. We're going to have a vote. We're going to see if they're really willing to work on it, and if they're not, the people of America can hold them accountable.

Speaker 1

She and I mean, this is a fool.

Speaker 2

Mark Kelly, a legitimate American hero, someone that millions of Americans admire because they look at the guy and they see someone they can trust with integrity, with candor, who stood up for his country, a Navy fighter pilot, a NASA astronaut, a man tested by great personal crisis. Look what politics and being proximate to the corruption of the Senate Democratic leadership has done to the ability of a bona fide American hero to speak straight. It's gibberish and

it's the cost of Chuck Schumer and appeaser. Donald Trump would have blanked, but instead, because of the surrender, Donald Trump.

Speaker 1

Has instead been taught.

Speaker 2

He's been taught that if he squeezes and he causes pain, he will be appeased.

Speaker 1

And what that means is Chuck Schumer, this.

Speaker 2

Guy that we will win guy has written a check for more pain for more people than anyone can conceivably imagine. Because again, for the second time in a calendar year, after being a party to the seating of Trump's radical cabinet, Chuck Schumer has given away every ounce, every bit of leverage to make Trump stop doing anything. It is appalling, it is obscene, and his leadership is an abomination.

Speaker 1

And the fact that.

Speaker 2

Forty five Democratic Senators sit in a room and tolerate it is an offense against every American who voted in this off year election, who marched in a protest, who has ever given a dime to the Democratic National Committee.

Speaker 1

How did the party.

Speaker 2

Of John Kennedy and Franklin Roosevelt lined up so decrepit, so broken, and so badly led that it could lose an election.

Speaker 1

To Donald Trump? And they did it. And at a moment when.

Speaker 2

Trump was in real trouble, Chuck Schumer resuscocated him, as surely as did Kevin McCarthy after the coup. If the Democratic senators tolerated. If the Democratic governors, who know how pathetic and wrongness is abide it, we will lose our c and we will lose it like the English almost lost theirs, because of the appeasement and the weakness of a philosophy that says, I'll feed the crocodile.

Speaker 1

First so he may eat me last. And that is the genius that leads.

Speaker 2

The Democratic Party today. What an awful moment for America. This is the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning. I invite you to join this community where I promise to be honest, blunt and direct about what is happening in this country. America is in crisis.
