Summary

We are at a divided and isolated place in America, and watching the rising authoritarianism of the Trump administration, enabled by the Republican Congress, green lit by the bought and paid for Supreme Court is enough to make people feel powerless, but we are NOT powerless. We are living through a propaganda nightmare, but if the Freedom Frog in Portland has taught us anything it’s that those who seek to destroy America do not own the American spirt. You can lie about us, threaten us, try and scare us, but we’ll just keep showing up for our rights. And the more of us who come out to save America, the more inspired others will be to join them. This is a fantastic and necessary episode for any of us who need to know we’re still in the fight. As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

0:00.0	When you think about America like a tree, right, and Trump is shaking the tree, and all the rotten fruits sloughed off the branches, right, the big law firms, right, those big companies, Apple, Tim Cook, all the critters that live in the low branches, all the appeasement critters, right, who gave gold statues to Trump.
0:24.9	But higher in the branches, that's where to fuck you monkey lives.
0:29.4	Right.
0:30.3	And there's a tougher, meaner American up there.
0:36.7	Yeah. meaner American up there.
0:52.0	Hello, and welcome to the Politics Girl podcast. I'm your host Lee McGowan. Let's get into it.
0:55.3	So I am trying to meet the moment with each one of these episodes now. I always like to give people necessary information about candidates and
1:00.0	organizations so they can fill out their political knowledge and make a difference. But with
1:04.5	everything on fire in this nation right now, I think it's essential that we not only keep on top
1:08.9	of the news, but we really focused on the people who are really meeting the moment,
1:13.5	who are effectively trying something different, something bold,
1:16.9	the ones who are willing to truly fight back
1:19.0	against this lawless, fascist administration.
1:21.9	So today we're going to be speaking to former Republican operative,
1:24.6	Steve Schmidt, about his new organization,
1:27.0	the Save America Movement.
1:29.0	Steve co-founded the Lincoln Project in 2019 to create an opposition to Donald Trump and his
1:34.1	leadership within the Republican Party. He parted ways with that organization in 2021, and his new
1:39.6	project is the Save America Movement, a PAC organized specifically to oppose the actions and the leadership
1:46.1	of the Republican Party under Trump. As the movement says, this is not right versus left,
1:51.9	it is right versus wrong. So without further ado, please welcome my guest, political strategist,
1:57.9	gifted communicator, and co-founder of the Save America movement, Steve Schmidt.
