Speaker 1: Welcome to the third edition of the schmid Storm. I'm
Speaker 1: here to answer your questions. Let's get started. The question
Speaker 1: is where does my small dollar donation do the most good.
Speaker 1: This is a great question and a really important one
Speaker 1: because I worry about this all the time, about so
Speaker 1: many people that are getting ripped off by the grifters
Speaker 1: and by the fraudsters. So the place for you to
Speaker 1: donate money too is directly to the Kamila Harris campaign
Speaker 1: for President of the United States. Now, ethics are something
Speaker 1: that's really important during the Lincoln Project, not as it
Speaker 1: exists today, but the Lincoln Project of twenty twenty, the
Speaker 1: Lincoln Project that existed that President Biden saw. He called
Speaker 1: me after the election in twenty twenty and thanked me.
Speaker 1: He said, if not for the Lincoln Project, he wouldn't
Speaker 1: have won. And I think he's right, because that organization
Speaker 1: did three point two billion dollars of advertising impact off
Speaker 1: of almost one hundred million dollars spent today. That group
Speaker 1: is a fraud. It's a grift. Three cents out of
Speaker 1: every dollar donated goes to political spending. Total scam. The
Speaker 1: truth is eighty cents is the magic number in a
Speaker 1: political campaign. Eighty cents of every dollar should go to
Speaker 1: voter contact. That's what the Lincoln Project in twenty twenty did.
Speaker 1: Doesn't do it anymore, and that's not because of anything
Speaker 1: else other than the lack of character of the people
Speaker 1: running it today. Talking to you, Rick Wilson, supergrifter. Here's
Speaker 1: a guy who had a fake movie that he raised
Speaker 1: money for for years, saying, donate to me, I'll make
Speaker 1: an anti Trump movie. I asked him about it all
Speaker 1: the time. Where's the movie, right, where's the movie? You
Speaker 1: took the money you have to make the movie. So
Speaker 1: there's not for any movie. It's all a scam. And
Speaker 1: that cynicism, the product of all of this bullshit, helps
Speaker 1: exactly one person, and that guy's name is Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: So this is a big issue, and that's a great question.
Speaker 1: The question is this Democratic Convention was incredible. How can
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris keep the momentum going? So let's talk about
Speaker 1: political physics. I'm going to show you something on the screen.
Speaker 1: This arc is called a parabola, and this specific parabla
Speaker 1: is the historic launch of Alan Shepherd's spacebook. He was
Speaker 1: shot up into the air, he hit zero gravity for
Speaker 1: a moment and then started to come back down. Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris is on a similar racket ship. She's got straight up,
Speaker 1: she's in that zero gravity phase. She'll go a bit higher,
Speaker 1: and then the political physics of all of this, she'll
Speaker 1: start to come back down. The race will tighten. All
Speaker 1: of the gains during this historic convention week will be
Speaker 1: cut in half within a week after Labor Day. And
Speaker 1: then structurally this will be a three point race all
Speaker 1: the way to the end. This will be a close election.
Speaker 1: Every vote counts. Some poles will have the Vice president
Speaker 1: six points, seven points, eight points ahead. That is all
Speaker 1: a function of the momentum, the enthusiasm, the sudden excellence
Speaker 1: of the execution. After being surrounded by Trump and being
Speaker 1: defeated by him, which Biden most certainly was, all of
Speaker 1: this unleashed enthusiasm will fall back to earth a bit
Speaker 1: and then the fight is on. That fight takes place
Speaker 1: on the line of scrimmage. It is a scratching, flay
Speaker 1: knuckle brawl all the way to the end. For sure,
Speaker 1: she will not win by seven points. The last presidential
Speaker 1: elections in this country have been settled across a few
Speaker 1: dates and tens of thousands of votes. I pray for
Speaker 1: a landslide. That that's not what's at hand, not this election,
Speaker 1: not this moment in time. The question is, with all
Speaker 1: of the attention on Kamala Harris, what will Donald Trump do?
Speaker 1: This is the most important question that I could conceivably get,
Speaker 1: because it goes to the heart of the strategy necessary
Speaker 1: to defeat Trump and take back America from Maga forever.
Speaker 1: Here's the deal. Whoever this election is about, is the
Speaker 1: candidate who will lose. The election had been about President
Speaker 1: Biden and he was losing. Since Kamala Harris has been
Speaker 1: the candidate, the election again is about Trump, and he's losing.
Speaker 1: What happened at the convention was one of the great
Speaker 1: switcheroos of all time. Suddenly the race went from being
Speaker 1: about the eighty one year old, enfeebled declining president and
Speaker 1: a referendum on that, to it being a referendum about
Speaker 1: the insanity of Donald Trump in an instant out of
Speaker 1: this convention, the race is now fully about Trump, and
Speaker 1: whomever the race is about will lose. That's why that
Speaker 1: matters so very much, and that's why this week was
Speaker 1: such a profound political success, and in my view, the
Speaker 1: greatest political convention of the electronic age of the modern era,
Speaker 1: which goes back at least to nineteen fifty two. It
Speaker 1: was an extraordinary successful event. The question is what would
Speaker 1: I advise Kamala Harris to dude to avoid of Biden's
Speaker 1: style catastrophe, And the answer is simple. There will be
Speaker 1: no Bien style catastrophe because Kamala Harris, the Vice President
Speaker 1: of the United States, fifty nine years of age, is
Speaker 1: at her keek and she is on her a game.
Speaker 1: What I wish she would say is look at Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: rode back to head, deliver the Kamala laugh, and ask
Speaker 1: the question on behalf of many tens of millions of
Speaker 1: America's people, what the hell is wrong with you? To Trump?
Speaker 1: That's what she should say, she says, start out to debate,
Speaker 1: look at him and say what wrong with you? Donald?
Speaker 1: Why are you so angry? So just honest, and so
Speaker 1: completely crazy? It would be classic. Remember, debates are performative moments,
Speaker 1: and one of the great lines any debate was this
Speaker 1: line from Lloyd Benson to Dan Quayle.
Speaker 2: I have far more experience than many others that sought
Speaker 2: the office of vice president this country. I have as
Speaker 2: much experience in the Congress, as Jack Kennedy did when
Speaker 2: he sought the presidency. I served with Jack Kennedy.
Speaker 1: I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator,
Speaker 1: You're no Jack Kennedy. The vice president should figure out
Speaker 1: the equivalent of this to Trump. I'm suspecting it has
Speaker 1: something to do with one of his bankruptcies. I'm Steve Schmidt.
