1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 1: Welcome to the third edition of the schmid Storm. I'm 2 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:08,639 Speaker 1: here to answer your questions. Let's get started. The question 3 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 1: is where does my small dollar donation do the most good. 4 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,480 Speaker 1: This is a great question and a really important one 5 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 1: because I worry about this all the time, about so 6 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,240 Speaker 1: many people that are getting ripped off by the grifters 7 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: and by the fraudsters. So the place for you to 8 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: donate money too is directly to the Kamila Harris campaign 9 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: for President of the United States. Now, ethics are something 10 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 1: that's really important during the Lincoln Project, not as it 11 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: exists today, but the Lincoln Project of twenty twenty, the 12 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: Lincoln Project that existed that President Biden saw. He called 13 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: me after the election in twenty twenty and thanked me. 14 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: He said, if not for the Lincoln Project, he wouldn't 15 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: have won. And I think he's right, because that organization 16 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 1: did three point two billion dollars of advertising impact off 17 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: of almost one hundred million dollars spent today. That group 18 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: is a fraud. It's a grift. Three cents out of 19 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: every dollar donated goes to political spending. Total scam. The 20 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: truth is eighty cents is the magic number in a 21 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: political campaign. Eighty cents of every dollar should go to 22 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: voter contact. That's what the Lincoln Project in twenty twenty did. 23 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: Doesn't do it anymore, and that's not because of anything 24 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: else other than the lack of character of the people 25 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: running it today. Talking to you, Rick Wilson, supergrifter. Here's 26 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: a guy who had a fake movie that he raised 27 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: money for for years, saying, donate to me, I'll make 28 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: an anti Trump movie. I asked him about it all 29 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: the time. Where's the movie, right, where's the movie? You 30 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: took the money you have to make the movie. So 31 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: there's not for any movie. It's all a scam. And 32 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: that cynicism, the product of all of this bullshit, helps 33 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: exactly one person, and that guy's name is Donald Trump. 34 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: So this is a big issue, and that's a great question. 35 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: The question is this Democratic Convention was incredible. How can 36 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris keep the momentum going? So let's talk about 37 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: political physics. I'm going to show you something on the screen. 38 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: This arc is called a parabola, and this specific parabla 39 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: is the historic launch of Alan Shepherd's spacebook. He was 40 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: shot up into the air, he hit zero gravity for 41 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: a moment and then started to come back down. Kamala 42 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: Harris is on a similar racket ship. She's got straight up, 43 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: she's in that zero gravity phase. She'll go a bit higher, 44 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: and then the political physics of all of this, she'll 45 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: start to come back down. The race will tighten. All 46 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: of the gains during this historic convention week will be 47 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: cut in half within a week after Labor Day. And 48 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: then structurally this will be a three point race all 49 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: the way to the end. This will be a close election. 50 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: Every vote counts. Some poles will have the Vice president 51 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: six points, seven points, eight points ahead. That is all 52 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: a function of the momentum, the enthusiasm, the sudden excellence 53 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: of the execution. After being surrounded by Trump and being 54 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: defeated by him, which Biden most certainly was, all of 55 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: this unleashed enthusiasm will fall back to earth a bit 56 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: and then the fight is on. That fight takes place 57 00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: on the line of scrimmage. It is a scratching, flay 58 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: knuckle brawl all the way to the end. For sure, 59 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: she will not win by seven points. The last presidential 60 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: elections in this country have been settled across a few 61 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: dates and tens of thousands of votes. I pray for 62 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: a landslide. That that's not what's at hand, not this election, 63 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 1: not this moment in time. The question is, with all 64 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: of the attention on Kamala Harris, what will Donald Trump do? 65 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: This is the most important question that I could conceivably get, 66 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: because it goes to the heart of the strategy necessary 67 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: to defeat Trump and take back America from Maga forever. 68 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 1: Here's the deal. Whoever this election is about, is the 69 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 1: candidate who will lose. The election had been about President 70 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 1: Biden and he was losing. Since Kamala Harris has been 71 00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: the candidate, the election again is about Trump, and he's losing. 72 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: What happened at the convention was one of the great 73 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:10,119 Speaker 1: switcheroos of all time. Suddenly the race went from being 74 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: about the eighty one year old, enfeebled declining president and 75 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: a referendum on that, to it being a referendum about 76 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: the insanity of Donald Trump in an instant out of 77 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 1: this convention, the race is now fully about Trump, and 78 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 1: whomever the race is about will lose. That's why that 79 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: matters so very much, and that's why this week was 80 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: such a profound political success, and in my view, the 81 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: greatest political convention of the electronic age of the modern era, 82 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: which goes back at least to nineteen fifty two. It 83 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: was an extraordinary successful event. The question is what would 84 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 1: I advise Kamala Harris to dude to avoid of Biden's 85 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: style catastrophe, And the answer is simple. There will be 86 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: no Bien style catastrophe because Kamala Harris, the Vice President 87 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,359 Speaker 1: of the United States, fifty nine years of age, is 88 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: at her keek and she is on her a game. 89 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: What I wish she would say is look at Donald Trump, 90 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 1: rode back to head, deliver the Kamala laugh, and ask 91 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: the question on behalf of many tens of millions of 92 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: America's people, what the hell is wrong with you? To Trump? 93 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: That's what she should say, she says, start out to debate, 94 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 1: look at him and say what wrong with you? Donald? 95 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 1: Why are you so angry? So just honest, and so 96 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 1: completely crazy? It would be classic. Remember, debates are performative moments, 97 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 1: and one of the great lines any debate was this 98 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: line from Lloyd Benson to Dan Quayle. 99 00:06:54,839 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 2: I have far more experience than many others that sought 100 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 2: the office of vice president this country. I have as 101 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 2: much experience in the Congress, as Jack Kennedy did when 102 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 2: he sought the presidency. I served with Jack Kennedy. 103 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, 104 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: You're no Jack Kennedy. The vice president should figure out 105 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: the equivalent of this to Trump. I'm suspecting it has 106 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: something to do with one of his bankruptcies.
