Smith: “Respectfully, senator, what the hell are you doing looking into the camera and telling military men and women to ignore the commander-in-chief? How dare you? How dare you do that? That’s right, I’m calling it out. I never served in the military. That’s true. I have family members who did. Some of my best friends have, Marines, Air Force, Navy, Army. I haven’t heard one of them, not one of them, say that was okay. How dare you do that?! Is it treason? No. Is it punishable by death? It shouldn’t be. So the answer is no. But you know better, Senator Kelly. You know better! How dare you do that?! What are you supposed to do? You are a ranking senator. You could go to the Senate, you could go to the House, you could put up — draw up paperwork, you could try to start articles of impeachment if you think there’s something illegal. I mean, damn, it ain’t like y’all haven’t done it before. You impeached the man twice. Where did that get you? Guy is behind, back in the White House. Had you left him alone in 2016 and 2020, maybe he wouldn’t be back terrorizing the Democratic Party the way that he is. But you did it! You did it! And here you are again with this nonsense. How dare you do that? I’m not a military person, and I know better than that! You don’t tell military men and women to ignore an order from the commander-in-chief. You don’t do that. Is it gonna amount to what Trump tried to embellish and indicate? No. But that don’t make you right. How dare you do that? He’s the commander-in-chief for the United States military, period. You have no business doing that, None. And by the way, the biggest reason is because what was illegal. You didn’t tell us what it was. What laws? Why did I bring up ‘A Few Good Men’ with Tom Cruise and Kiefer Sutherland in that sequence, and Kevin Bacon? Why did I bring it up? Because the mere thought of you even implying that a military officer is engaging in some type of salacious or illegal activity is trouble — in the military, not the court of laws for civilians. The military! Senator Mark Kelly knows that. Trump is giving illegal orders? What are the illegal orders? How come you didn’t tell us? Where’s the evidence? Where’s the evidence? Why do you think the investigation is going on? Why do you think Trump is all over Pete Hegseth over at the Department of War and the FBI with Kash Patel and folks are looking into and probing what’s going on and how can they get to Mark Kelly, because they know he did something wrong. You crossed the damn line. You are an elected official in the nation’s capital. We have a Constitution. You got a problem, you go through the necessary process, whether it’s Hakeem Jeffries in the House, whether it’s Schumer in the Senate or anybody else. That is the point you’re supposed — that is the process you’re supposed to go to. You don’t go in front of cameras and give military officer or military personnel a directive to ignore their commander-in-chief. And you’ve given no evidence what his illegal orders were. And if you try to sit up there and say, ‘Oh, it was just alluding to a future reference, to future situations,’ oh, so he’s gonna give you an illegal order in the future? Ladies and gentlemen, that flies over the airwaves of SiriusXM or one of these news networks, or something like that. It does not apply in our military. You can’t do that.”
