Speaker 1: Thirty six days left until America decides, one day until
Speaker 1: the vice presidential debate. This is the warning. September is
Speaker 1: over and October is at hand. What lies ahead will
Speaker 1: determine who sits in the Oval Office as the forty
Speaker 1: seventh president of the United States of America. And there
Speaker 1: has never, and I mean never, been a clearer choice
Speaker 1: that exists right now. Donald Trump this weekend ran on
Speaker 1: stiffing workers and dreaming of violence, the rough hour where
Speaker 1: all of America's problems and ills will be solved over
Speaker 1: and over again. Here at the Warning, I talk about
Speaker 1: the concept of time and the notion that life is
Speaker 1: not a reality show, it's not episodic television. That what
Speaker 1: happens today this Monday, is connected to what happened last
Speaker 1: Monday and the Monday before that. What happened is this weekend
Speaker 1: is part of what will happen today. What happens tomorrow
Speaker 1: is a product of the sum of all of the
Speaker 1: days at some level since the beginning of time. None
Speaker 1: of this is disconnected from what happened a moment ago, yesterday,
Speaker 1: and the day before. None of it. So when Donald
Speaker 1: Trump talks about punishment and talks about retribution, and talks
Speaker 1: about patients eating pets. It's all part of the same rhetoric.
Speaker 1: And that rhetoric is purposeful, It is deliberate. It is
Speaker 1: aimed at inciting, it is aimed at dividing. What Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is doing. It spent the weekend doing is whipping
Speaker 1: crowds into frenzies talking about day. Have you heard. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of days and a lot of them's coming
Speaker 1: to get you. Just listen to Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: They make our criminals like babies. These are stone cold killers.
Speaker 2: They'll walk into your kitchen, they'll cut your throat.
Speaker 1: By the way, there is a rhythm. It is predictable
Speaker 1: now in the tenth year of Trump as the salmon
Speaker 1: returning to the rivers from where they were born in
Speaker 1: the Pacific Northwest Montu Rodgers a perfect cation point. Here
Speaker 1: he is on television demanding a Republican account for Trump's
Speaker 1: assertions that the vice president is mentally disabled.
Speaker 3: So he called her a mentally disabled person and questions
Speaker 3: her intelligence, effective, effective line of attack or should he
Speaker 3: focus on something else or should.
Speaker 4: You do And you're using one little clip there, and
Speaker 4: you don't put what was said before what was said after.
Speaker 3: But he didn't say he called her a mentally disabled.
Speaker 4: That's one hundred percent true. But why is he what
Speaker 4: was he talking about?
Speaker 3: So you're you're okay if he goes out and starts attack,
Speaker 3: he's trying to intelligence.
Speaker 4: No, what he's questioning here is mentally disabled.
Speaker 3: That's what he called. You're okay with start saying mentally
Speaker 3: disess So that's that's the No.
Speaker 4: The bottom line is the policy that allowed thirteen thousand
Speaker 4: murders in the country and fifteen thousand convicted of sexual assault.
Speaker 1: Now, this is the rhetoric of an autocrat. This is
Speaker 1: the rhetoric of a fascist who does not believe in
Speaker 1: or tolerate the sents. If you disagree with Trump, it's
Speaker 1: not because you disagree with him. It's because you're sick,
Speaker 1: because you're crazy, because you're a grifter, because you are corrupt.
Speaker 1: Every person who stands opposed to the accumulation of power
Speaker 1: by Donald Trump and anybody with him in MAGA is
Speaker 1: accused of being sick. And at the same time, all
Speaker 1: of the people who support Trump no matter what, through
Speaker 1: thick and thin, through shakedowns and extortions of foreign leaders,
Speaker 1: through impeachments, through violent insurrections are always asked if today
Speaker 1: is the day that Trump has gone too far, as
Speaker 1: if calling the Vice president mentally disabled is a sin
Speaker 1: of some greater magnitude than trying to overthrow the government.
Speaker 1: The premise of the question is is there a bridge
Speaker 1: too far? And is there anything that would make you
Speaker 1: disavow Trump? And the answer, whether it's Kevin McCarthy stuttering
Speaker 1: his way through an interview or Tom Emmer, is no. Never.
Speaker 5: Let's watch Trump last night called Kamala Harris mentally disabled.
Speaker 5: He said that Joe Biden became that way, she was
Speaker 5: born that way. Do you think Kamala Harris is mentally disabled?
Speaker 5: Do you approve of that kind of language?
Speaker 3: I think Kamala Harris is the wrong choice for America.
Speaker 5: Do you approve of that language? Do you approve of
Speaker 5: that language? Donald Trump calling her mentally disabled, mentally impaired?
Speaker 5: So you don't approve of that? You don't? I think
Speaker 5: we should.
Speaker 3: I think we should stick to the issues.
Speaker 1: And let's appreciate what it is that they're defending. They're
Speaker 1: defending this.
Speaker 2: We have to let the police do their job, and
Speaker 2: if they have to be extraordinarily rough and this I
Speaker 2: know a lot about overtime. I'd hated to give overtime.
Speaker 1: I hated it.
Speaker 2: I'd get other people. I shouldn't say this, but I'd
Speaker 2: get other people, and I wouldn't pay.
Speaker 1: I hated.
Speaker 2: And this, now, if you had one really violent day,
Speaker 2: like a guy like Mike Kelly, put him in charge.
Speaker 2: Congressman Kelly put him in charge for.
Speaker 6: One day, one rough hour, and I mean.
Speaker 2: Real rough, the word will get out and it will
Speaker 2: end immediately. And this I gotta been sunbathing on the beach.
Speaker 2: You have never seen a body so beautiful, much better.
Speaker 6: That, much better than sleepy Joe. And this Joe Biden
Speaker 6: became mentally impaired. Kamala was born that way.
Speaker 1: And the people cheer and a scream and joy for
Speaker 1: the ravings of an imbecile attacking theys and thems about
Speaker 1: made up atrocities that are part of his sick, disordered
Speaker 1: and outled mind, but not part of America's daily reality.
Speaker 1: And yet some forty percent of the country is with
Speaker 1: him no matter what. This process is called democracy, But
Speaker 1: we should be clear about what's at stake. This weekend,
Speaker 1: a Chinese nuclear submarine sank. This weekend, the leader of
Speaker 1: Hezbolah was killed by precision Israeli airstrikes. The world is
Speaker 1: teeming with danger, yet hear in the United States, scores
Speaker 1: of millions stand ready to support insanity, strangeness that defies description,
Speaker 1: a rancid, reventist movement that is teeming with racial malice.
Speaker 1: Scores of millions of Americans cheer for the insanity. The
Speaker 1: good news is there's more of us than there are
Speaker 1: of them. If all of us turn out and do
Speaker 1: our duty as citizens and vote, October is at hand.
Speaker 1: It's the voting month. This is the month that is
Speaker 1: decisive in a presidential campaign. And this campaign isn't over.
Speaker 1: It will be shaped by events yet to come, maybe
Speaker 1: even what's referred to as the October Surprise, whatever it
Speaker 1: may be that lies ahead. Character is the only issue
Speaker 1: that matters. Harris has plenty, Trump has none. This is
Speaker 1: the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning, and
