Speaker 1: Seventy five days to go, two and a half short months,
Speaker 1: ten weeks.
Speaker 2: This is the warning.
Speaker 1: On election day, there will be somewhere in America the
Speaker 1: final vote cast, and then it will be over. We
Speaker 1: will have decided, and all there will be left to
Speaker 1: do is to wait for the results of a free
Speaker 1: and fair election. That election will set the course for
Speaker 1: the balance of the twenty first century. And before you vote,
Speaker 1: understand something. Donald Trump has pledged to be a dictator.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has pledged to round up ten million people
Speaker 1: and lock them into concentration camps. It has to be
Speaker 1: the word, because that's what they are. Donald Trump has
Speaker 1: promised that he alone can fix everything. Donald Trump has
Speaker 1: promised retribution and revenge. Night three of the Democrat National
Speaker 1: Convention was more antidote. It was an offering of better
Speaker 1: to the American people. Mayor Pete now Secretary Pete talked
Speaker 1: about better, and of course there was this moment of surprise.
Speaker 3: Please welcome Oprah Winfrey.
Speaker 4: We can't wait to leave here and do something. And
Speaker 4: what we're gonna do is elect Kamina Harris as the
Speaker 4: next president.
Speaker 5: Of the United States.
Speaker 1: Wow, what a speech. This will be remembered for a
Speaker 1: long time. This declaration matters, it's everything. This is the
Speaker 1: identity that we share. We're Americans, and we heard from
Speaker 1: a great one the exact type of person you want.
Speaker 2: To have in politics.
Speaker 1: Do you want broken people like Ted Kruz who have
Speaker 1: been plotting their presidential campaign since age seven, or do
Speaker 1: you want good citizens who somehow, through fate, through service,
Speaker 1: through contributions in their community, get involved.
Speaker 2: Get involved in service.
Speaker 1: They could be scout leader, they could be a teacher,
Speaker 1: they could be a coach, and then they run for office.
Speaker 2: That's what happened to ten Walls.
Speaker 1: Completely normal person, a coach, sergeant major of his National
Speaker 1: Guard unit, retiring with the rank of master sergeant after
Speaker 1: twenty four years of service.
Speaker 2: Somebody known in the community.
Speaker 1: Like there are men and women in all communities across
Speaker 1: America by the simple honorific coach. That's an important title
Speaker 1: in America. Coach, Coach Walls. This man went to Congress
Speaker 1: and then he became governor, vice presidential nominee of the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party, a heartbeat away from the presidency should he win.
Speaker 1: Politics in America was never designed for a permanent political class.
Speaker 1: It was never designed for some type of permanent governing elite.
Speaker 1: It's the work of citizenship. Kim Wallas was a citizen,
Speaker 1: Kim Congressman, became a governor, and now he's on a
Speaker 1: national ticket. There is something providential about America in our
Speaker 1: dark hours, when there seems to be hopelessness, providentially we
Speaker 1: have leaders emerge from the ether, it seems. Whether it's
Speaker 1: Martin Luther King in his late twenties, whether it's John
Speaker 1: Lewis even younger, whether it's Dwight Eisenhower, a lieutenant colonel
Speaker 1: in the army not promoted in almost fifteen years. Americans
Speaker 1: step up and they always have and mad did Oprah
Speaker 1: Winfrey step up?
Speaker 5: When a house is on fire, we don't ask about
Speaker 5: the homeowner's race or religion. We don't wonder who their
Speaker 5: partner is or how they voted. No, we just try
Speaker 5: to do the best we can to save them. And
Speaker 5: if the place happens to belong to a childless cat lady,
Speaker 5: well we try to get that cat out too.
Speaker 2: Wow Wow Wow.
Speaker 1: The third night of the Democratic National Convention.
Speaker 2: Has shown a brilliant beam.
Speaker 1: Of light on two things, possibility and the terribleness that
Speaker 1: is to come if this country points a gun at
Speaker 1: its head. Impulls the trigger while yelling Trump it will
Speaker 1: be an active national suicide by a man carrying the
Speaker 1: youth in Asia bag. He has told us clearly what
Speaker 1: he will do. And last night Coach Walls, Sergeant Major Walls,
Speaker 1: Governor Walls made it clear some of the most important
Speaker 1: things that will be said over the next seventy five
Speaker 1: days have been said. Have been spoken in the last
Speaker 1: forty eight hours. Oprah Winfrey, Governor Walls, Doug M. Hoff,
Speaker 1: First Lady Michelle Obama, and President Obama. They have laid
Speaker 1: out in brilliant and clear terms the choice. And lest
Speaker 1: anyone forget how talented Bill Clinton is, the big dog
Speaker 1: still has his bark.
Speaker 3: What does her opponent do with his voice? He mostly
Speaker 3: talks about himself, So the next time you hear him,
Speaker 3: don't count the us, count the eyes. He's like one
Speaker 3: of those tenors opening up before he walks out on
Speaker 3: stage like I did, trying to get his lungs open
Speaker 3: by saying me, me, me, me, me me. When Kamala
Speaker 3: Harris as president, every day will begin with you, you, you, you.
Speaker 2: This is the choice.
Speaker 1: It's been outlined, and now we wait for the main event.
Speaker 1: The Vice president of the United States taking a podium
Speaker 1: as the Democratic nominee, like Franklin Roosevelt, like Harry Truman,
Speaker 1: like John Kennedy, like Jimmy Carter, like Bill Clinton, like
Speaker 1: Barack Obama. Now it's Kamala Harris's turn, the child of
Speaker 1: immigrants from Oakland, delivering the acceptance speech at the Democratic
Speaker 1: National Convention. America is an extraordinary place. We should feel
Speaker 1: deep love for it, in a deep commitment to make
Speaker 1: certain that this magnificent experiment is handed down. Behind us,
Speaker 1: there is someone arriving in America today as an immigrant. Legally,
Speaker 1: their story is beginning. They'll meet a spouse here, they'll
Speaker 1: get married. When they have kids, those two immigrants will
Speaker 1: have an American child grow up to be our president.
Speaker 1: Anybody who doesn't want to live in that country has rocks.
Speaker 2: In their head. What a place it is?
Speaker 1: Magnificent And on day three, Oprah Winfrey reminded us of
Speaker 1: how much that is true. Let's close out with Oprah.
Speaker 2: We won't go back.
Speaker 4: We won't be set back, pushed back, bullied back, kicked back.
Speaker 2: We're not going back. I'm not going back.
Speaker 4: So let us choose truth, let us choose honor, and
Speaker 4: let us choose joy.
Speaker 1: One day to go until the close out of the
Speaker 1: Democratic National Convention, and let me make a prediction. Vice
Speaker 1: President Harris's speech, Well, it's going to be spectacular and
Speaker 1: it's going to be an antidote, an antidote to this idiocy.
Speaker 1: It's time to cancel the show. This is the warning.
Speaker 1: Do something, get involved, vote and make sure everybody you
Speaker 1: know is ready to vote in November. I'm Steve Schmidt.
Speaker 1: This is the warning, and I invite you to join.
