Speaker 1: It is July the eighteenth, twenty twenty four, and the
Speaker 1: number of the day is thirty two. There are thirty
Speaker 1: two short days left for the Democratic Party and the
Speaker 1: President of the United States to avert a national catastrophe.
Speaker 1: This is the warning. We have come as a nation
Speaker 1: to a fork in the road. But at the head
Speaker 1: of the column is the leadership of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 1: Soon we will know something with perfect clarity. There is
Speaker 1: a question in the air, and the question is what
Speaker 1: is Trump? Is he who the Democrats have maintained he
Speaker 1: is or is he just an effective villain, a Freddie
Speaker 1: Krueger comical character that has been effective at raising money
Speaker 1: from and mobilizing the base. Is he someone who is
Speaker 1: a perfect foil? Who is Trump? Well? Is he a danger?
Speaker 1: Or is he a prop The hour at hand to
Speaker 1: decide is now, and soon we will know. Joe Biden
Speaker 1: should be taken at his word. He has long maintained
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump is an existential threat. But something else
Speaker 1: must be said. It was Joe Biden and his team
Speaker 1: of customers that wanted the debate that imploded his campaign.
Speaker 1: It was also their idea to so rig and throttle
Speaker 1: the Democratic primary process that there could be no conceivable competition.
Speaker 1: Let's be clear about something. Donald Trump will not have
Speaker 1: a lonely victory. He will have with him a maga
Speaker 1: United States Senate and a maga House of Representatives, and
Speaker 1: they will have two unfettered years to change America, to
Speaker 1: recast and to remake it. Jd. Vance offered a sweetener,
Speaker 1: an afrodisiac, if you will, like a cult leader offering
Speaker 1: a sample of love to the lonely and distressed. He
Speaker 1: kept the hideous parts quiet when he talked about the
Speaker 1: graves of seven generations, part of a nation. What he's
Speaker 1: talking about is blood and soil nationalism, and it's an
Speaker 1: evil and it's antithetical to the ideals and ideas of
Speaker 1: the United States. What jd. Vance talked about last night
Speaker 1: sounds reasonable, sounds appealing, but it is a mask for
Speaker 1: the darkest and most dangerous of all ideologies, us versus them,
Speaker 1: the ideology and dogma of nationalism. JD. Vance put his
Speaker 1: toe into the water, leading forward into the darkness. That's
Speaker 1: what it is, that's where it goes. And so again,
Speaker 1: at this hour, the Democratic Party must face reality. Speaker
Speaker 1: Emeritus Nancy Pelosi has said the president can't win to him,
Speaker 1: according to news reports, as has sent a majority leader
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer, leader Hakim Jeffries. According to Puck News, the
Speaker 1: President Biden assaulted the service of a decorated Democratic congressman,
Speaker 1: a combat veteran with the eighty second Airborne in the
Speaker 1: seventy fifth Ranger Regiment, Jason Crow of Colorado. He was incoherent, angry, rambling.
Speaker 1: Yet he and a small group of people at this
Speaker 1: hour maintain a fiction at the expense of their patriotism,
Speaker 1: at the expense of the country. And the fiction is
Speaker 1: that the president is okay and that the President is winning,
Speaker 1: when in fact he has been repeat cudiated by the
Speaker 1: American people, not yet in an election, but in poll
Speaker 1: after poll, an interview after interview. As he has fallen apart.
Speaker 1: Whatever Joe Biden has accomplished in his public life, his
Speaker 1: legacy is finished. All that is left is a terrible,
Speaker 1: humiliating chapter of defeat, and everybody sees it coming, and
Speaker 1: so many cowards keep lying about it over and over again.
Speaker 1: This is a dire moment for the country because Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is, in fact everything that Joe Biden says he is.
Speaker 1: What a terrible moment for the country. But what a
Speaker 1: magnificent opportunity for the Democratic Party and for our younger
Speaker 1: generation to step forward and mass in a group and
Speaker 1: to say enough, we must pass the torch. Now, we
Speaker 1: must have generational change. Now we must are particulate something
Speaker 1: better in order to defeat the worst cause since the
Speaker 1: Confederacy and Jim Crow and the booned. And that cause
Speaker 1: is maga. It is trump Ism, it is American fascism.
Speaker 1: The Trump Advance ticket is a threat. It is a danger,
Speaker 1: but it will not be bought to power under its
Speaker 1: own strength, but rather the appeasements of cowardly Democrats and
Speaker 1: a cabal that lacks the bravery to say the obvious
Speaker 1: out loud, that puts a single man's ego ahead of duty,
Speaker 1: ahead of their country. Sound familiar to anybody. When you
Speaker 1: become what you oppose, you've not only lost the cause,
Speaker 1: but your soul and your morality with it. And that
Speaker 1: is the most devastating type of defeat and the most
Speaker 1: difficult to recover from. At all. Our crafts are at
Speaker 1: the fork in the road. I pray to God they
Speaker 1: choose wisely. This is the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt. This
Speaker 1: is the warning, and I invite you to join. Subscribe
