Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's Friday, October seventeenth. This is the warning. Hello from
the land of Lincoln, Illinois, a state and a city,
Chicago under siege by federal agents on the orders of
Donald Trump and Stephen Miller, Christy Nome and Pam Bondy.
I want you to listen very carefully to the words
(00:22):
of the White House Press Secretary talking about the Democratic Party,
the Party of John Kennedy, the Party of Bill Clinton,
the Party of Franklin Roosevelt.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Listen to this that the Democrat Party's main constituency are
made up of hamas, terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals.
That is who the Democrat Party is catering to, not
the Trump administration and not the White House, and not
the Republican Party, who is standing up for law abiding Americans,
not just across the country, but around the world.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
This is an American and it's dangerous. And what she's
doing is putting a target on the back of ten
million people who will take to the streets to march
against what is happening in our country. It is a
free country, and we have a right to march, and
we have a right to speak up. And for some
of us, that is a moral necessity. There is an
(01:16):
urgency in speaking up. And regardless of whether Donald Trump
likes it, it's too bad because the right to dissent
in America does not come from Donald and it does
not come from his arrogant minions. It doesn't come from Christy. No,
doesn't come from any of these people. Look at these
images the violence. This is a federal agent who swore
(01:39):
an oath to the Constitution of the United States. Listen
to the words of Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
And the people of Chicago walking around with magahts. You
have women, beautiful black women walking around with magahts. Please
let the president and we don't care how he does it.
They're not interested in guard or Army, Navy bring them in, Marines,
bringing the marines. They just want the crime just up.
And more so because of the success that we had
(02:09):
in DC. I think if we didn't have that success,
nobody would even believe it.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Listen to the words of Stephen Miller.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Will defeat the dark, We will prevail over the forces
of wickedness and evil. They cannot imagine what they have awakened.
They cannot conceive of the army that they have arisen
in all of us. Because we stand for what is good,
(02:38):
what is virtuous, what is noble. And to those trying
to incite violence against us, those trying to foment hatred
against us, what do you have? You have nothing. You
are nothing. You are wickedness, you are jealousy, you are envy,
you are hatred. You are nothing. You can build nothing,
(03:01):
you can produce nothing, you can create nothing. We are
the ones who build. We are the ones who create.
We are the ones who lift up humanity. You thought
you could kill Charlie Kirk. You have made him a mortal.
You have immortalized Charlie Kirk, and now millions will carry
(03:25):
on his legacy, and we will devote the rest of
our lives to finishing the causes for which Charlie gave
his last measure of devotion. You cannot defeat us. You
cannot slow us, you cannot stop us, you cannot deter us.
(03:46):
We will carry Charlie and Erica in our heart every
single day and fight that much harder because of what
you did to us. You have no idea the dragon
you have awakened, no idea how determined we will be
to save the civilization, to save the West, to save
(04:08):
this republic.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
It is clear that they do not tolerate Americans who disagree. Instead,
they threaten them with imprisonment or worse. And so when
you think about what's about to happen this weekend, all
of the bs that the American people are spoon fed
(04:30):
night after night on the corporate news, it all melts
away when in big cities and small towns and rural villages,
millions and millions and millions of people say enough, not
in my name, you will not do this, you will
not desecrate my country. And that's what this is about.
(04:51):
It is an act of love, and it is the
antidote to cynicism, to rage, to anger. Tomorrow, tomorrow millions
of people will lift the American flag high and march
under it. And when they do, they will renew a
faith that is shaky in millions of Americans who have
(05:14):
been made to be afraid by Trump, by Stephen Miller,
by all of the people who make all of the threats.
This sick young woman was accurately diagnosed by Hakeem Jeffries.
I'm talking about the White House Press Secretary Carolyn Levitt as.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
A matter of deep concern, like we've already seen a
rise in political violence and hatred in America. And then
you've got swastika's apparently appearing in the offices of Republican
members of Congress. You've got young Republicans engaging in the
most anti Semitic and racist speech possible, like this is
(05:58):
apparently who many of these people people are. They are
ripping the sheets off in plain view of the American people,
their words, their actions, revealing themselves in so many different ways.
And then you've got Caroline Levitt, who's sick, she's out
of control, and I'm not sure whether she's just demented, ignorant,
(06:24):
stone cold liar, or all of the above. But the
notion that an official White House spokesperson would say that
the Democratic Party consists of terrorists, violent criminals, and undocumented
immigrant this makes no sense that this is what the
American people are getting from the Trump administration in the
(06:46):
middle of a shutdown. So their actions continue to speak
for themselves, which is why they're on the wrong side
of public sentiment.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Everything Stephen Miller says, sick out of and yet it
keeps cascading, it keeps building, and it's building to something terrible.
It's something violent, and that violence will be owned by
Donald Trump, who was given the greatest honor an American
can receive, and used it not to make the country better,
(07:17):
but to declare war on the half of the country
he hates. And he has weakened us, divided us, and
set us back. But we will endure. And an example
a piece of evidence about why is that it's not true.
Then no one cares in America about what's going on.
And tomorrow ten millions strong will march from sea to
(07:40):
shining Sea and put that light a bed. And that
means it's going to be a good day in America.
Get your signs, get your shirts on, get ready to march,
get ready to stand up for your country. I'm Steve Schmidt.
This is the morning I invite you to join this
community where I promise to be honest and direct about
(08:01):
what is happening in this country. America is in crisis.
