The announcement from Stephen Miller marked an inflection point. It ended the world as we know it and harkened a new era that left Jake Tapper speechless because he understands finally what it is that Steven Miller is saying.
So should there be an election?
Mean, if you're giving the floor for thirty seconds, let me tell you what we are doing here, Jake.
The United States. This is sort of foundational.
The United States is using its military to secure our interests unapologetically in our hemisphere. We're superpower, and under President Trump, we are going to conduct ourselves as a superpower. It is absurd that we would allow a nation in our own backyard to become the supplier of resources to our adversaries, but not to us, to hoard weapons from our adversaries, to be able to be positioned as an asset against the United States, rather than on behalf of the.
United States sovereign country.
The Monroe doctrin and the Trump doction is all about securing the national interests of America. For years, we sent our soldiers to die in deserts in the Middle East to try to build them parliaments, and Steve trying to build them democracies, to try to give them more oil, to try to give them more resources. The future of the free world, Jake, depends on America being able to assert ourselves and our interests.
With that apology, do you understand, let's decipher it. It is January sixth, the fifth anniversary of Donald Trump's coup against the people of the United States, his attempt to take down government of the people, buy the people for the people, and install himself as an illegitimate leader. He did it with the full consent of the abdicating Congress, which allowed him to get away with it. This is the warning. Just like Hitler got away with his coup
in nineteen twenty three. Five years later the January sixth, criminals are free. Five years later, the US Constitution is on fire, the checks and balances are gone, and no less a figure than Nancy Pelosi has said the Congress
abolished itself. Stephen Miller said something incredible. Stephen Miller said that the last eighty years and epoch that historians call the American Century was in fact a time of defeat, not what it really was, a golden age of peace, prosperity, an upward advancement of humanity unrivaled in the entire sweep of human history. Eighty years ago, a terrible World war ended that killed upwards of eighty five million people. It ended with the defeat of Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany,
their unconditional surrender and the destruction of their societies. It's what fascism purchased for the German and the Japanese people thinking about the world over the horizon, a world of opportunity, of peace that never again would risk the survival of humanity. Franklin Roosevelt, in the late night conversation with the Canadian Prime Minister, said it was his vision that the world order that he architected would hopefully last for as long as everybody who was alive on the day the war
was won was still alive. He said, nothing lasts forever. Today. The people who survived those events, who survived at death camps, who landed on the beaches of Normandy, who participated in the air campaign over Europe, who fought in the Pacific, the youngest of them is one hundred years old. There's only forty to seventy thousand left, and soon there will be none left. And those events will recede from lived
memory into the pages of history. What Stephen Miller did was repudiate the sacrifice and declare that Mike makes right to moral It's indecent and it is insanity. I want you to think about something. For those of you who are married, imagine your spouse cashing out every investment, every dollar, everything, taking it to Vegas, betting on black and winning. Would you be happy when they came home or would you
be enraged over the risk? Why is nobody in the Democratic Party talking about what it is that Donald Trump did. He put more than one hundred and seventy American aircraft in the air and risked the lives of an extraordinary number of American military personnel. Donald Trump inserted Delta Force not because there was a threat to American security, but
for this reason. Stephen Miller talked nonsense with Jake Tapper, and Jake Tapper goes silent and says, I have no idea what it is you're talking about.
This whole period it happened after World War Two where the West began apologizing and groveling and baking engaging. What you're talking about, It's what I'm talking about, Jake, is the idea.
And by the way you do, I know you love doing that smarmy thing, Jake, and I was hoping to be better than that this time.
I'm just I asked you about if it should be an election exactly. I asked you if there would be an election in Venezuela. That's what I asked. I said, why was the president so quick to dismiss Machiado? You answer that question, and then I said.
The objective, Jake, is security and stability for the people of Venezuela. With our help and leadership, that country will become more prosperous than it has ever been in his whole history.
Venezuela is the woman running Venezuela right now is part of the majority of regime.
There will be there will be conversations shake about all of these guy posts along the way. The reason why I was giving you that speech, which I know you didn't want to hear, is because you're approaching this from the wrong frame, this neoliberal frame that the United States job is to go around the world and in demanding immediate elections be held everywhere, immediately, all the time, right vacuums.
That's not what I think. But you invaded the country.
We took get into the country, and we seize the leader of Venezuela.
Damn straight, we did.
And I'm saying, we're not gonna let these is the US going to have new elections.
No, we're not going to let Tim Pott communist dictators send rapists into our country, send drugs into our country, send weapons into our country.
Okay, And we're not going to let a country fall into the hands of our adversaries.
I want to share something with you.
These may be.
The most profound words spoken in the last eighty years. Listen to them. They're a type of survival God, and they come from General Douglas Macarthur're speaking on the battleship Missouri in Tokyo Bay, the second part of his address to a global audience on the occasion of the Japanese surrender at the dawn of the Atomic Age, and what he says is we are at our last chance. America is not great because it is big and rich and powerful. America is great because America has been a force for good.
We are an exceptional nation, not because we are belligerent, but because we are the only nation in the history of the world that's sprung from an idea about human dignity, that all men are created equal and now by a creator with inalienable rights, among them life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And over time, the struggle for the achievement of that lofty goal has brought us ever closer
to it. Yesterday was a day of disgrace. The United States kidnapped illegally the president of Venezuela, according to Trump, for our oil companies. And what's left running Venezuela today is the same regime that Trump said he's toppled. The United States doesn't run Venezuela. The vice president of Venezuela is an extreme marks. The Interior minister is worse than Meduro. Those are the two people. Those are the two choices. A Marxist, a leftist who hates America, or another drug trafficker.
That's what's achieved. That's what Donald Trump risked the lives of American forces to bring about. It is a despicable action, it is a lawless action, but it took place because the American Republic is in collapse. Nancy Pelosi said, the Congress has abolished itself, it has defenestrated itself from its power, and until and unless it reasserts that we are a government of the people, by the people for the people,
that we are a government of Trump and Miller. When you watch this video and you see these clips of Steven Miller, I want you to understand what it is that Jake Tapper went silent about, because after ten years time, Jake Tapper, I think finally got the essence of what's happening. He finally understood that what sit in front of him through the camera lens, the person who's a colleague of Scott Jennings is a Nazi. That's what these people are.
They are fascist, and fascists bring death and war. Stephen Miller has an uncanny resemblance to the propagandist Joseph Goebbels, although frankly he's much more deranged, much more erratic. When Adolph Iikman was hung in Jerusalem, the man who had interrogated him for two hundred and seventy five hours was a German Jew named Abner Less. In nineteen eighty one, he spoke about the experience and he was asked a question, did you have any takeaways from it? And he said, yes,
I do. He gave me my faith in democracy. It gave me my faith in democracy because democracy keeps us safe. He said. There are Adolph Hikmans everywhere. They're all around us. But in a democracy they're latent. In a dictatorship of the left or right, they turned deadly in an instant, My friends, Stephen Miller is turning deadly. It is January the sixth, and this is the warning. We have had our last chance and we are out of time. And
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. Follow and subscribe to this channel and on substack.
