Speaker 1

It is May ninth, twenty twenty five.

Speaker 2

This is the warning. Watching the utter.

Speaker 1

Contempt that Homeland Security Ice Barbie Christy Nom has for the United States Senate, for the United States Constitution, and for the concept of the checks and balances is startling, if not surprised. What remains incredible is how many Democratic Senators voted to confirm this unfit, sadistic, corrupt woman to be the head of the state security apparatus of the Trump regime.

Speaker 2

It demonstrated an.

Speaker 1

Appalling lack of judgment that equals the daily decision by the forty five Democratic Senators to maintain as their leader, the most effeckless man in Washington, the useless Chuck Schumer. Yesterday, Christine nom sat in front of the United States Senate and did everything she could to please Donald Trump at the expense of her oath. She was asked direct questions and her answer to some of them the equivalent of hey,

Madam's secretary, what's two plus two? And her response is Donald Trump is great elephant.

Speaker 2

It was appalling.

Speaker 1

Now, two senators distinguished themselves with tough, rigorous, specific questioning doing their jobs, Senator Chris Murphy and Senator Chris van Holland from Maryland. Both of them put it to Christine Nome. Let's watch the responses. Now we'll talk about what it is that you're seeing, why it matters, and what Democrats have to do next on the other side.

Speaker 3

So I'm just going to put the question directly to you. Are you or DHS doing anything to comply with the nine to zero Supreme Court order to facilitate his return in the United States? Just yes or no?

Speaker 4

This administration is following all federal court orders. Sim prerogative conversations with the President of.

Speaker 3

El ask a simple question. I would you know we have a limited amount of time. I just asked you, Madam Secretary, whether or not you or the Department of Homeland Security are taking any action to facilitate the nine to nothing Supreme Court decision to facilitate his return. This is a very simple question.

Speaker 1

She simply refuses to answer a direct question. Now, if I was in the Senate at this exact moment, I would have changed direction and I would have said, Madam Secretary, tell me about your relationship with Corey Loewandowski. I understand that he serves under you in a variety of different positions. As a special government employee, can you detail his service to you? And I would have let it go from there.

The Democrats who are asking questions are receiving unparalleled contempt from the person who was obligated to answer them, who simply refuses to answer a direct question about whether she intends to comply whether the administration intends to comply with a nine zero Supreme Court decision, And what she's doing is hiding behind semanics and demwittering that suggests that it's incomprehensible for her to understand the question because mister Abrego

is an L. Salvador and because as an L. Salvadoran citizen he now sits in the L. Salvadoran concentration camp. Though it was caused by the malevolence of the Trump administration and their recklessness and their disregard for the rule of law, rejected by the American courts, there's nothing that can be done. And this is the great fu to the idea, to the concept of judicial supremacy in this country. And in the end, what is decided as what is law and what is not is not the domain of

the president. It is the province of the courts. In America, and that is being tested by the consistent, obstinate, reckless, deliberate lawlessness of the Trump administration.

Speaker 2

Let's watch some more.

Speaker 5

Do you believe that the US government can detain and deport a legal permanent resident for expressing a political opinion that the Department that the administration disagrees with.

Speaker 4

The determination you're asking for is based on things that you are determining that the Secretary Area of State has considered and evaluated. We don't evaluate that the administration, along with a partnership with the Department State on what is political speech and what's an affiliation with a foreigners? Do you believe that's the difference?

Speaker 5

Do you believe that you're asked that you can detain it about the direct legal permanent resident for expressing a political You have.

Speaker 4

Not detained or we have not deported anybody who's a legal permanent resident.

Speaker 5

Y and so you don't have the ability to do that.

Speaker 1

She apparently thinks that life is the Fox News set. Now there's also something that must be said, why is she not being questioned with giant poster boards set around that hearing room of her action, shots of her narcissistic illness, put on full display her look at me as her inability to stay away from the iPhone camera. Do you know who Jay Johnson was? He's this man use the Obama era hoo Land Security secretary.

Speaker 2

He kept you safe. And this woman.

Speaker 1

Can't keep her eye on her purse with three thousand dollars of cash in it. A little fishy for somebody who makes one hundred and sixty seven thousand dollars a year. Now, Christy No thought that the way to power in MAGA was to detail the joy she took in shooting a puppy that embarrassed her, that she didn't train and she didn't know how to handle.

Speaker 2

She's a satist and she was voted into power by a lot of Democratic senators.

Speaker 1

Had enough, the Democratic senators on the committee must sit in a room together with all of their colleagues and commit themselves to the daily maximum exercise of their power to impede the MAGA regime's ability to degrade and burn the Constitution to ashes. Because that is what you are watching in this video. You are watching an executive branch cabinet secretary tell the United States Senate in a coequal branch of government, the Article one branch to go itself.

Speaker 2

That's what you are watching.

Speaker 1

She is lawless, she is incompetent, she is narcissistic, she is a sycophant. She is corrupt, and what she is leading is immoral, It is wrong, and it is violative of the basic rights of Americans and all people to be safe in this country under the rule of law, under the supreme law of the land, the Constitution of

the United States. Christy Nome has brought the Homeland Security Department into the reality of its worst critics, worst dystopian nightmares, and out of control federal agency pushing its jack boots down on the neck of American liberty. This sick woman, who has betrayed her oath and who stands opposed to every American value, is a domestic enemy and would have been recognized as such by John Adams, by Thomas Jefferson,

by Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan. She is attacking the cornerstones of American life and weaponizing fear through the exercise and abuse of power of a federal

law enforcement agency. There are no words to describe the terribleness, the wrongness, and the evil of that she has let loose the storm, and she has sent American Gestapo into America cities and into America small towns and into Washington, DC restaurants, jack booted government thugs, all with masks on their faces, too ashamed to wear their badges, to seize people and disappear them off the street with no due

process whatsoever, and they call that justice. There is nothing that threatns you more than the idea that there is anybody, no.

Speaker 2

Matter how evil they are, that.

Speaker 1

Stands in a space where by word alone, a finger pointed at them by the most powerful people in the country, that says they're guilty, that if it should come to be, means you will never live in another day of safety, and we will all be at risk because in America, everybody gets to stand in of a judge, everybody gets

due process. And so when you see a demagogonist, sicophan, a power mad, sick, narcissistic woman point a finger at an innocent man and call him a terrorist with the power of state backing her up, it should send a chill down your spine, and you should understand exactly what that is. She's no different than a ripe security secretary in nineteen thirty three, pointing a finger at somebody and telling you they're a terrorist. No, you know who's a terrorist,

Christy Nomas. And what she's terrorizing is the US Constitution and the American people. And she will be held to account. Mark my words. Justice will come for her. Have no doubt about that. This outrageousness will not stand. And there will be a day. Trust me, she is sitting in the dock, stammering, stuttering, her arrogance stripped away, and on that day she'll say that I was just following orders.

Speaker 2

That's what they always say.

Speaker 1

Shame on her, and good luck to the Democratic senators. At least a couple of them are making progress and facing down the gathering evil. When she's back next time, they should appreciate what she is, which is this, And that 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.

Speaker 2

Thank you
