Trump’s Legacy of Incompetence: Leaked Secrets Endanger America

This is the warning

The Trump War Cabinet, while simultaneously admitting that they sent the nation's classified

war plans during a military strike to a reporter at The Atlantic Magazine, and that the Director

of National Intelligence, the National Security Advisor, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary

of State, the CIA director, and the White House chief of staff were all on the text exchanges

and not one person had the wherewithal to notice that one of the names was unlike the other

One of them wasn't a MAGA stooge. One of them was one of the most respected journalists in the

United States and one of the toughest editors, a man of conviction. So when he printed the

astonishing story that made clear that Pete Hegseth on a system that was absolutely 100% seen

read, penetrated by Russians, by the Chinese, by a dozen other intelligence services at least

that the American planes were coming, putting the war plans down so that every American pilot

could have been blown out of the sky. It's the highest level failure of operational security

ever. Remember, Geraldo Rivera was thrown out of Iraq for drawing a map about American troop

positions in the sand. This is so much worse. In the end, the incompetence of the national security

advisor and the defense secretary, whose fault is it? It's the journalists. It's a conspiracy

against Donald Trump, you see. One more hate crime against the Donalds. You see, when Pete Hegseth

the drunk, the accused rapist, gave away on an open channel that was by the Chinese and the

Russians and a dozen other intelligence services, the times, the flight plans, the weapons packages

the sorties, all of the details of the attack, it was the media's fault

Now if those pilots had been shot down and killed no doubt Susie Wiles and the whole gang would have been on television saying they died a glorious death for Donald Trump

No doubt they would have said they were killed by the American media. The entire focus of American military training at an educational level, at West Point, at Annapolis, Marine Corps officer candidate school, at the infantry officer school, across the depth and breadth of the U.S. military, they teach accountability

They teach responsibility. They teach the difference between the two. The idea that Pete Hegseth and none of these people will embrace is responsibility. The idea that they're responsible for their conduct, for their actions. There is no word to describe the disgrace of these people. There is no word to measure their incompetence

This would have ended the career of a U.S. Navy captain commanding a vessel

It would have ended the career of an Air Force general commanding an air wing

It would have ended the career of a Marine general or an Army general commanding a division

But if you're in politics and you're a part of MAGA, you can do as you please

There is no price. It's always somebody else's fault. And so the whole country has seen the cavalier attitude, the disrespect these thugs have for the sons and the daughters of America's moms and dads who they ordered into harm's way

They are nothing. Widgets. Let's pray for victory by J.D. Vance. The explosions, the emojis, these are petulant children and immoral ones

The Trump administration is a version of Lord of the Flies. Everywhere we look, we see unraveling now. The Social Security system is flashing red. It's nearing a collapse where, for the first time in history, benefits will be interrupted

Public lands are under attack The summer vacation season starts for millions of American families who enjoy the outdoors who want to camp enjoy our majestic national cathedrals Yosemite Yellowstone the Tetons All around us the signs are clear

Those gang members from Venezuela, turns out, well, there was a barber or two in the mix

Turns out there's a reason we have due process. Freedom of speech is under assault. Freedom of

dissent is under assault. And everywhere, in America's most privileged places, in its law firm

boardrooms, in its corporate boardrooms, in the banks, in the Hollywood studios, there is a cloud

a chill descending of intimidation. People are afraid. Donald Trump has succeeded in rewriting

the playbook. In America, the right to criticize the president isn't a given anymore. It comes with

the cost, a consequence. There'll be payback. You'll feel the rage and anger of Trump's online

mobs, his thugs. Did you know he's talking about giving cash checks to the January 6th criminals

Do he pardon your tax dollars? Did you know that children got notices this week that the clinical

trials they were in for cancer, they've been suspended. Food aid around the world, suspended

AIDS treatment suspended. The men and women who would track a lost nuclear weapon or a rogue one

fired, just like the air traffic controllers. Elon Musk, he's an entrepreneur who the sick mag of Congress

has made an authority on all things in America. How did we make it before Elon was born in South Africa

The type of genius that the country has relied on was the genius of John Adams and Alexander Hamilton

of Thomas Jefferson. and George Washington. A lot of people like to look at the faults of these men, and each had many

like all people do. But they had a resplendent genius for human affairs, for the philosophy

of how men and women should govern themselves, what the meaning of life should be, how the order

of society should be constructed And that genius has endured for 250 years and made America the most powerful and prosperous nation in the history of the world And now by the wave of the Trumpian finger and the devotion and zeal of sycophants and ignorant

clowns, they want to burn it all down. Hail Trump. Hail Musk. They have to do it because of they

Always they. Someone is always doing something to the MAGA folks. But there's always a lack of

specifics, isn't there? Well, the most sublime experiment in human history is the United States

of America, our government of the people, by the people, for the people that Abraham Lincoln said

shall not perish from this earth at a time of deep crisis. His unwavering faith kept it together

And the threat of that hour far exceeded the threat of Trump and his vile clowns, though

Trump and his vile clowns sit in a seat that no one before today could have ever imagined ever

could have happened in America. But it did. And as predicted, when it did come to America

fascism was wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross. And so we see Trump's little Eichmanns

the little fascists with their small crosses on their chests. We see the immorality wrapped in

the flag. We see the incompetence asserted as the cry of a jingo. Pete Hegseth is exactly the clown

and the fool I said he was, that I told you he was. He almost just got a lot of Navy and Marine

Corps pilots killed, along with Marco Rubio and Tulsi Gabbard and John Radcliffe and Susie Wiles

Pete Hegseth was to change the name of the Department of Defense, the Department of War

350 million people in this country. Somehow, Donald Trump, the great genius, the great deal

maker, picked the 10 stupid sons of es in the whole land to be in charge of war. This 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
