Speaker 1: It is July the nineteenth, one hundred and eight days
Speaker 1: until the last polls close on election Day, and it
Speaker 1: is thirty one days away from the convening of the
Speaker 1: Democratic National Convention in Chicago. It is the day after
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, which
Speaker 1: broke all records for duration, for inanity, for nonsensicalness, and
Speaker 1: for cult like devotion from the audience. This is the warning.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's ninety three minute ramble deeply impressed CNN commentator
Speaker 1: Van Jones. Now, I don't know about that. I seem
Speaker 1: to recall Barack Obama speaking in a completely filled NFL
Speaker 1: stadium and he talked about hope and change. It wasn't
Speaker 1: a dishonest, messianic, insane ramble. It wasn't a Fidel Castro's speech.
Speaker 1: But whatever the energy, Van Jones thinks that he felt
Speaker 1: in the room. My god, he should have been at Nuremberg.
Speaker 1: At any rate. The Republican Convention has come to an
Speaker 1: end and Donald Trump is leading in the race for president.
Speaker 1: He is ahead. He is winning every swing state, and
Speaker 1: now states like New Mexico, Minnesota, Virginia, and New Hampshire
Speaker 1: are in play. The news of the hour is not
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's convention speech or the aftermath of his zany convention.
Speaker 1: It is the implosion of President Biden's re election campaign.
Speaker 1: It is ending, and it will end in the next
Speaker 1: couple of days. The Democrats don't yet have a candidate
Speaker 1: for president. Now, a lot of people are having a
Speaker 1: hard time orienting around what is happening in the Democratic Party.
Speaker 1: It's important to understand it's not a top down event.
Speaker 1: It's not a rainstorm or a hailstorm. What you're seeing
Speaker 1: is the ground giving out, giving way underneath the feet
Speaker 1: of the Democratic establishment who foisted this charade on the
Speaker 1: American people. It is interesting that the architects of the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four rigged democratic process that brought the party
Speaker 1: to this disaster are now the first to speak when
Speaker 1: it comes time to figuring out what to do next.
Speaker 1: James Clyburn is one of the architects of this moment
Speaker 1: of disaster with his divisiveness. What James Clyburn and Joe
Speaker 1: Biden engineered was this result because they denied the opportunity
Speaker 1: for competition to kick the wheels to see if Joe
Speaker 1: Biden was ready to make the race, and he was,
Speaker 1: and now the very same people, the very same architects
Speaker 1: of the President debacle, are again trying to control events,
Speaker 1: trying to grip the wheel tighter and tighter and tighter.
Speaker 1: It's not working. Kamala Harris is the front run to
Speaker 1: be the Democratic nominee for president. What Vice President Harris
Speaker 1: has to say is I want to earn it. I
Speaker 1: want to earn the support of the delegates. The best
Speaker 1: thing that could happen is that Vice President Harris would
Speaker 1: have some competition at the convention that she could defeat
Speaker 1: with a powerful and compelling message. The Democrats need to
Speaker 1: think larger, more expansively about what is the ticket that
Speaker 1: can win. The bottom line is this, The convention process
Speaker 1: must be open. There must be a competition. There must
Speaker 1: be more voices than the vice presidents in the firmament
Speaker 1: for the delegates to hear as they make the most
Speaker 1: important political choice of the twenty first century, which is
Speaker 1: who is going up against the fascist cause. Donald Trump's
Speaker 1: speech was long, He was boring, contradictory, and incoherent, but
Speaker 1: mostly within ten minutes, it exposed the nonsense that Donald
Speaker 1: Trump has somehow been transformed. He is a man running
Speaker 1: on a platform of revenge and retribution against the American
Speaker 1: people who will not genuflect, who will not accept his
Speaker 1: assertion that he should have unlimited power to save the
Speaker 1: country that he alone can fix. There are millions of
Speaker 1: Americans who left out loud when people look earnestly from
Speaker 1: a stage and tell us that God saved Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: God anointed Donald Trump to lead. There are millions of
Speaker 1: us who are shocked that somebody who beat his wife
Speaker 1: on video was the person Donald Trump picked to introduce him. J. D.
Speaker 1: Vance's speech was interesting when he talked about the seven
Speaker 1: generations of Hillbillies buried on the mountain. It was a
Speaker 1: primer of sorts, a sweet introduction to blood and soil nationalism,
Speaker 1: which is antithetical to Americanism, contrary to patriotism. This is
Speaker 1: a big part of the MAGA movement, lost and lonely,
Speaker 1: people staring at their screens, tweeting with their thumbs, lost alone,
Speaker 1: who found community in this rancid cause. But this is
Speaker 1: a community that is not patriotic, though they wave the flag.
Speaker 1: This is a community that harbinger's real malice, real animus
Speaker 1: towards a lot of people in the country. So when
Speaker 1: Donald Trump begins his speech with a solemn reckoning, it
Speaker 1: was a dark and stormy night. There are millions of
Speaker 1: us who laugh out loud because the preposterous idea that
Speaker 1: somehow the mist assassin's bullet has wiped away nine years
Speaker 1: of malice and threats and corruption and criminal conduct isn't
Speaker 1: just insane, it's absurd. We are in an unchartered moment
Speaker 1: in American politics. This Republican Convention provided the American people
Speaker 1: a spectacle of weirdness and unfitness. Look at mac Gates's face.
Speaker 1: One hundred and eight days from now, the American people
Speaker 1: will make a choice. It will not be between Donald
Speaker 1: Trump and Joe Biden. Donald Trump will be on the ballot,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden won't, and the choice will be America or Trump.
Speaker 1: This race is about one thing. It's about the orange
Speaker 1: tinted fact at the top of the Republican ticket who
Speaker 1: denied an election result and incited violence against the Constitution
Speaker 1: of the United States while leading an insurrection. He's a
Speaker 1: bad man, he's a rapist, he's a man of violence
Speaker 1: in mayhem and chaos, and he was the worst president
Speaker 1: in American history. And the Democratic Party has an immense
Speaker 1: duty their duty is to win and to defeat this
Speaker 1: and the architects of the present situation should take a
Speaker 1: very deep breath and be still for a moment and
Speaker 1: do nothing, practice humility for at least a minute before
Speaker 1: telling us once again who it must be that will
Speaker 1: take on Donald Trump. And if we disagree, we're spoilers
Speaker 1: who are helping Trump. Because the fact of the matter
Speaker 1: is the architects of this debacle have given more sucar
Speaker 1: to Donald Trump. Because the architects of this disaster have
Speaker 1: given and more to Donald Trump than all but a
Speaker 1: very few. This is the warning. Join our community to
