Speaker 1 (00:00):
It is Tuesday, October the twenty eighth. This is the warning.
Donald Trump is in Japan.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
He took his show on the road, and the American
Commander in Chief, at a moment of grave danger in
the world, spoke to the troops.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Here are some excerpts.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Our people in the service.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
And you know, people don't care if we send in
our military, if we send in our National guid if
we send in Space Command. They don't care who the
hell it is. They just want to be safe. And
we have safe cities.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Now.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
We're starting in Memphis, and Memphis was a disaster.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
It's been there, they've been there for two weeks.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
And it's a whole different. So he crime is less
than half and within a month it'll be gone. Getting
rid of all the bad ones that we're going to
go into Chicago, We're going to go into our cities.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
We're going to clean them out, we're going to straighten
them out, and.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
We're going to have safe cities because you want to
protect safe cities. We're going to have beautiful safe cities.
And it's happening very quickly and very easily. Actually it's
easy for us, it's.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Hard for them. And we have to have a little
more help.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
It doesn't matter really, we could do as we want
to do, but it would be nice to have more
help from some of the Democrat governors that don't mind.
In Chicago and this, every on an aircraft carry before,
so they switched to electric.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
I disagree with it, but that's all right. Let me
ask you. We're going to go steam first and an
electric catapults. Which is better?
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Electric or steam?
Speaker 3 (01:36):
I'm going to put it in an order.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Seriously, they're spending billions of dollars to build stupid electric
and the problem when it breaks, you have to send
up to Mit get the most.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Brilliant people in the world fly them out. Its ridiculous
to steam. They said they can fix it with a
hammer and.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
A blowtorch, and it works just as well, if not better.
And I love the side of that beautiful steam.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Pouring off that deck. With the electric you don't have that.
And this from the men and women of the rank
and file, that's true. It comes from you people.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Incredible people, good looking people, too many good looking people.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
I don't like good looking people. I never liked good
looking people. I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
I've never admitted that before. But see I'm allowed to see.
You know, we wanted the Supreme Court a thing based
on merit.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
You know about that, right, merit.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Everything now in our country is based on merit. And
that's why I look at you and I see nothing
but merit. It's great to have a country back where
we can go by merit. Now we don't go by
anything else except for talent and work, and hard work.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Makes sense to you. It was an ugly speech, like here.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Have cities that are troubled, and we're sending in our
national guard. And if we need more than the national Guard,
we'll send more than the national Guard, because we're going
to have safe cities. We're not going to have people
killed in our cities. And whether people like that or not,
that's what we're doing. And you've been watching what our
missiles do to boats and ships and submarines. How about
(03:09):
the submarine? They said, no, there was just fishing. The
radical left Democrats said, well, it was a submarine, but
they were just fishing.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Submarines don't go fishing, do they. You know more about
submarines than I do.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
And like always, it was partisan, and like always, it
was filled with wives.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
And because I heard that the sailors on the George
Washington took a hit to your family separation. Pay you
know what I'm talking about, right, You took a little
hit to be here, right by returning to the port.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
You returned early for this event. I am delighted to announce.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
It as you're It's not a boss. I don't feel
like your boss, but I guess I am.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
At least you'll be happy about this one.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
In my direction, We're going to make sure that you
received the full amount that you were owed for the deployment,
and we're not going to deduct anything because you.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Came in to listen to your your commander. I'd like
to be an admiral. I always wanted to be an.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Admiral, to be honest, don't tell the other the people
that I love so much. You know, they sit around
the table le have all those beautiful stars and stripes.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
But I'll tell you what I love. I will always
love the admirals. I love those uniforms, and I look
at these guys. I don't think I would have done
very well about it compete with these people. They're too good.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
The Donald doesn't seem to understand that a lot of
the soldier, sailors, airmen, marines, coastguardsmen that he's speaking to.
They come from America's cities. They come from California, in
New York, New Jersey, and Illinois. And they got to
sit there and listen to the man who holds their
lives in his hand.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Tell them the real enemy.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Is their parents, It's their brothers, their sisters, their wives,
their husbands, and of course, sitting off to the side,
the great Sikophan Pete Hegsath, the festooned buffoon with Christian
nash List tattoos covering his body, the most unfit defense
secretary in American history. John McCain used to talk about
(05:08):
that political parties don't go to war. Factions don't go
to war. Nations go to war. When nations go to war,
and when those wars are lost, it's felt by the country,
not by the political party. Maga isn't going to war.
These young men and women are. And we know through
history that fascists always promise three things. They promise security
(05:31):
and they bring chaos. They promise peace and they bring war,
and they promise prosperity and they bring misery. The economic
charts tell de tail America is weak, America is divided,
in America is isolated. What country is going to send
their young men and women to fight under American command,
(05:53):
under the command of Pete Hegseth and heg Seth's political generals,
under the flag of the American despot, Donald Trump.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
It's about time we defend our own homeland, and we
will do that. So it's America first. It's peace through strength.
But it's also common sense. You hear it and you
see it all the time. I have a great pleasure
of watching President Trump on a daily basis in private
meetings and meeting with foreign leaders as we're planning, and
(06:23):
the application of common sense, as you know, is not
all that common in Washington, DC.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Yesterday did an interview in Canada and I was asked
to respond to a poll average Canadian beliefs the United
States is a far bigger threat to their security and
their independence, their liberty than is communist China. Proximity helps
make the menace clear, I suppose. But think about the
Canadian people afraid of the American people, or maybe more precisely,
(06:55):
the American government, which is only as obscene in competition
as the American people being afraid of their government. Each day,
the chaos, the craziness, the lives, the corruption, it all
gets worse, and no one seems to care. The American farmer,
the American rancher who voted for Trump, they're being wrecked.
(07:17):
And most of them, well, they'll be happy to lose
their farms that have been in their families for generations,
to lose their ranches so long as they stay on
Trump's good side. This is what a cult of personality
looks like. This is what's happened to America. Not overnight,
but in ten long years time. Every morning was discarded,
(07:39):
none were heated. It's been clear for a long time
that Trump and JD. Vance and Peter Teel, well they're fascists,
and it's been clear for a long time what a
danger these tech companies are. But the American people took
no action, their indifference grew, and now a threat has
arrived unparalleled in the history of the country. These are dire,
(08:00):
dangerous days and everything that Donald Trump says should be
taken literally and seriously. Look at the faces of these
young men and women who signed up to serve their
country being lectured by a man who hates it.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
God, it's also obscene.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
There are no words, and yet we must hope that
across America a great anger rises, and anger about what
is being taken, what is being stripped away, and about
insanity like this. Truly, there are no words. This is
the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning. I

this country. America is in crisis. Follow and subscribe to
