Speaker 1

It is Tuesday, June twenty fourth. This is the warning. Donald Trump lost it in public after the ceasefire, which he conjured into existence out of his imagination, was violated immediately by the two countries he did not consult about it, who were not signatories to it, and so Thos quickly violated it.

Speaker 2

Israel as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped the load of Bob's the likes of which I've never seen before, the biggest load that we've seen. I'm not happy with Israel. You know, when I say, okay, now you have twelve hours, you don't go out in the first hour. It just drop everything you have on them. So I'm not happy with them.

I'm not happy with Iron either. But I'm really unhappy if Israel's going out this morning because the one rocket that didn't land, that was shot perhaps by mistake, that didn't land, I'm not happy about that. What we basically have two countries that I've been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the fuck they're doing.

Speaker 1

You understand that the world is not the Apprentice set, and it's not the boardroom, and it's not the pretend Landia of Fox News and the Jesse water Set. And so while CNN may rush to crown Donald Trump, the Napoleon of this epoch, an undefeated, visionary war leader who makes deals like no one ever could and no one ever will, again, the truth is a bit more complicated.

And so now over and over again, the media in the service of Trump is asserting things to the American people that simply are not true on the surface and are easily understood to be so through examination of the contradictions between Trump and all of the incompetent buffoons that

make up his national security cabinet. Meanwhile, at home, we see masked federal agents running amok all over the country, with an apparent license to do as they please, to whomever they please, whenever they want, with no warrants, no knocks. Here they are with long guns out as if they are filming a scene for Cecario three, Except it's not Cecario three. It's real life. And this is federal law enforcement. And this travesty must be brought to heal. It is

an evil, and so is this. This is not prayer that I'm about to show you. Outside the entrance to the West Wing on West Executive Drive. And this spot is maybe two hundred fe eat away from the Oval Office. And this is what is going on outside. Let's listen to the speaking in tons of extremists and fanatics engaged in a type of menacing idolatry and the worship of Donald Trump as a god.

Speaker 3

Yes, we just thank you right now north on the east and west and north of the south. You will shake America with your glory and your glory. We can't feel in the assignment of the this nation was worth to be one nation under gone. And we are standing on the soil of the White House and.

Speaker 2

We are declaring your work.

Speaker 3

Every place in our flood will fraud.

Speaker 1

You will give it to.

Speaker 3

Us, and we are taking the land we think you will.

Speaker 1

Lord, you have brought us to the kingdom.

Speaker 3

For times, and is this and this is a time. And so we declare right now for the capital of latter nation that America will come back to God. We will come back to God. Nothing will stop this nation.

Speaker 1

And we speak right down on the authority of Heaven.

Speaker 3

You told us to bring heaven on heart. Heaven is being released through your people right now.

Speaker 1

There are many things to talk about the recklessness and the madness of Donald Trump's national security policy, the reality that scientific progress in the world, led by the United States is slammed into a brick wall, and from an apigy of learning and comprehension, we are now falling backwards.

We could talk about the one hundred and thirty million acres of public lands owned by all three hundred and fifty two million of us that are on the chopping block at the hands of Mike Lee of Utah, perhaps the sickest senator of the lot, a man who's psyche, whose conscience, whose soul has been poisoned by social media. He is the senator who is like Arthur Fleck, the joker. In the aftermath of assassination, Mike Lee says it was the Marxist, when in fact it was a Maga fanatic

who did the killing. Mike Lee doesn't care about you, He doesn't care about Utah, he doesn't care about the land in Utah. He cares about one thing, his God. And his God is Trump, and the god of these people is Trump. And what these people are is a type of totalitarian, the most dangerous type, the Christian nationalist. And I participated in a movie and I described what that philosophy is like this, and there has nothing to do with Christianity. It's about it's about power and politics,

and let's separate it from religiosity. In this country we have freedom of religion, where a secular nation that is built by, stained by and filled with people who have deep faith in God. But that's not Christian nationalism. There's a fictional work Margaret Atwood book called The Handmaids Down. That's Christian nationalism. It's man saying that this is God's law in administering it for the purposes of achieving absolute

political power. And the societies that practice it in whatever form it takes are the most evil places on earth. And it doesn't matter. A religious nut is a religious nut, is a religious nut. And there are Muslim religious nuts, and there are Jewish religious nuts, and there are Christian religious nuts, and all of those nuts have nothing to do with understanding the beauty of the faiths of Islam, of Judaism, and Christianity. What those people practice is a

virulent strain of politics, the deadliest one there is. And so Pastor Paul a grifter without comparison except for anybody named Trump, sits in the White house. A political extremist in plain sight, who honest to God, was caught coming out of a Roman hotel with this guy head who delivered this sermon.

Speaker 3

Strike and strike and strike and strike and strike and strike and strike and strike and strike and strike until you have victory for every enemy that is aligned against you. Let there be that we would strike the ground, for you will give us victory. God, I hear a sound of abundance of rain. I hear a sound of victory. I hear a sound of shouting and singing. I hear a sound of victory.

Speaker 1

It's not faith, it's not religion. It's fraudulents. It's fraudulent politics mixed with a deadly strain of extremism, where these people invoke the power of God to declare the inhumanity of Americans that they disagree with, and call forward the wrath of God to be administered by who, by them, against who, well against you, so that their political power, which they claim comes not from the people, which is the American tradition, but from God, who wants them to

exercise his authority. Well, you see the problem. And like I said, in the places where that is law, what you find is the greatest evil on earth. That's the warning. When you see this, beware, it's not a prayer, it's a knife placed firmly on the careated of Lady Liberty. I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning. I invite you to join this community, where I promise to be host, blunt and direct about what is happening in this country. America is in crisis. Follow and subscribe to this channel
