WEBVTT - We Are Running Out Of Time

0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:05.160
<v Speaker 1>One. Nineteen days remain until the American people decide whether

0:00:05.200 --> 0:00:09.160
<v Speaker 1>they save the United States from Trump. This is the warning.

0:00:11.960 --> 0:00:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Forty two days remain until the Democratic National Convention decides

0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:20.120
<v Speaker 1>if they save their party from Donald Trump, if they

0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:24.720
<v Speaker 1>take action to win an election that according to David Axelrod,

0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:28.480
<v Speaker 1>the chief strategist of the winning Obama two thousand and

0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:32.120
<v Speaker 1>eight campaign, says, Joe Biden is losing and he is.

0:00:32.479 --> 0:00:35.560
<v Speaker 1>David Axelrod and I share something in common. We are

0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:39.560
<v Speaker 1>bound together for all time. I was the chief strategist

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:43.440
<v Speaker 1>for the losing campaign of that two thousand and eight campaign,

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:47.080
<v Speaker 1>John McCain's I have worked at the highest level of

0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:51.920
<v Speaker 1>two presidential campaigns, a winning and a losing one. David

0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Axelrod is one of the most brilliant political strategists that

0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:59.480
<v Speaker 1>there has ever been. He is an expert in his field,

0:00:59.880 --> 0:01:05.120
<v Speaker 1>is the founder of the University of Chicago Institute of Politics.

0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:09.319
<v Speaker 1>He is a good man, and unlike many many people

0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:13.240
<v Speaker 1>who work at the highest level of national politics, David

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:18.080
<v Speaker 1>Axelrod is an idealist. He is a believer. As his

0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:22.840
<v Speaker 1>book says, he believes deeply in the Democratic Party in

0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:27.759
<v Speaker 1>the United States and in our political system to make

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:32.319
<v Speaker 1>life better for ordinary people. It is what he has

0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:38.479
<v Speaker 1>spent his entire life dedicated towards. Trust me, he takes

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:44.520
<v Speaker 1>no pleasure. One hundred and nineteen days before a presidential election,

0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:48.880
<v Speaker 1>announcing it is over. This is the Patriot Front of

0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:53.600
<v Speaker 1>fascist group marching in Nashville this week. When Trump becomes

0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:57.280
<v Speaker 1>the forty seventh president of the United States without an

0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:02.520
<v Speaker 1>intervention by democratic leaders who put the country before the

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:07.400
<v Speaker 1>ambitions and the ego of a man or that man's wife,

0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:10.880
<v Speaker 1>We're going to see more of this, more and more,

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:14.400
<v Speaker 1>and then they'll take the masks off. The head of

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:18.040
<v Speaker 1>the Heritage Foundation, the home of Project twenty twenty five,

0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 1>talked about the fact that if we all get in line,

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:25.320
<v Speaker 1>then the next American revolution, the one that's coming with

0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 1>Trump's election, can be bloodless. If everybody submits and there

0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:34.720
<v Speaker 1>is no defiance, Kevin Roberts said, it can be a

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 1>bloodless revolution. This is the state of things. A week

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:43.200
<v Speaker 1>and a half after the catastrophic debate between President Biden

0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:46.560
<v Speaker 1>and Donald Trump. Let me ask you a question. When

0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:50.400
<v Speaker 1>is the last time somebody landed a punch on Donald

0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:53.679
<v Speaker 1>Trump's chin? When is the last time there has been

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:58.360
<v Speaker 1>an assault on MAGA that has hit home. When is

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:03.680
<v Speaker 1>the last month that somebody somewhere laid a glove on

0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:07.079
<v Speaker 1>these people? And the answer is, I can't think of one.

0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 1>They're not in the fight, They're out of it. If

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:13.640
<v Speaker 1>the Biden campaign were a ship, it would be stalled,

0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:18.919
<v Speaker 1>it would be drifting in the current and listing very

0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:24.320
<v Speaker 1>very badly. The Biden campaign since the debate has spun

0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:28.639
<v Speaker 1>and sunk, and spun some more and sunk some more.

0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:34.280
<v Speaker 1>It has become a jumble of incoherence of delusion. The

0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:38.760
<v Speaker 1>President's interview with George Stefanopholis was a case in point.

0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Let's watch George Stefanopholis asked the President about his approval level.

0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:48.800
<v Speaker 2>If you are told reliably from your allies, from your

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.800
<v Speaker 2>friends and supporters in the Democratic Party, in the House

0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 2>and the Senate that they're concerned you're going to lose

0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 2>the House in the Senate if you stay in, what

0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:57.200
<v Speaker 2>will you do?

0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:01.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not can answer that question. It's not gonna happen.

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:05.600
<v Speaker 1>I really wish George Stefanoppholis had asked. It took me

0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:08.520
<v Speaker 1>twelve hours after the fact to come up with the question.

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:12.000
<v Speaker 1>So I appreciate not doing it in the moment, but

0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:14.760
<v Speaker 1>I really wish he had asked here, what do you

0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:18.840
<v Speaker 1>think the approval level is, mister President. The President believes

0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:24.040
<v Speaker 1>his accomplishments are historic. He is deeply aggrieved that they

0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:28.560
<v Speaker 1>are not recognized as such. He is help bent a

0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:33.240
<v Speaker 1>more more power, more time, more more, and more. He

0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:37.840
<v Speaker 1>thinks the American people believe something they don't see, they

0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:41.960
<v Speaker 1>don't believe. In the modern era of the United States

0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:46.760
<v Speaker 1>and the American presidency, there has never been an interview

0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:51.279
<v Speaker 1>with the commander in chief who is more completely out

0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:55.920
<v Speaker 1>of touch with the sentiments of real people. Not in

0:04:55.960 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 1>a maliced, vicious way, not in the Trump way, but

0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:05.760
<v Speaker 1>just lost, completely unmoored, like a hermit crab living in

0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 1>a terrarium that thinks it is the jungle instead of

0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:14.640
<v Speaker 1>a small glass ball. President is disoriented and the catastrophe

0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:18.160
<v Speaker 1>that it has led all of us to the edge

0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:22.920
<v Speaker 1>of is profound. Here is Mark Robinson, the Lieutenant Governor

0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:27.359
<v Speaker 1>of North Carolina. Mark Robinson is running for governor. He

0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:31.599
<v Speaker 1>is a Holocaust denier. He denies the murder of the

0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Jews by the Nazis. He denies Auschwitz and trublinka and Magonik.

0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:41.440
<v Speaker 1>He denies it all. Mark Robinson also last week stood

0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:44.640
<v Speaker 1>in the pulpit of Magachurch. Do you know what he said?

0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Did he talk about love, compassion? How about decency forgiveness?

0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Did he talk prist message? He did not. Here's what

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:58.599
<v Speaker 1>he talked about killing. He said, some people need killing.

0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Up against the wall, right, Mark, where is the outrage,

0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Where is the response to this evil? Where is the

0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:15.480
<v Speaker 1>mighty voice of the Democratic Party asserting Americanism. It's absence,

0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:20.280
<v Speaker 1>it's whisper can't be heard. And this is the tragedy.

0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:28.359
<v Speaker 1>Because Mark Robinson needs ferocious opposition. Mark Robinson needs to

0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:32.680
<v Speaker 1>be called out. He needs to be castigated and rebuked

0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:37.599
<v Speaker 1>and mocked, denigrated and humiliated, just like Trump, just like

0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:40.840
<v Speaker 1>all of these people. But these people are on the

0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:46.800
<v Speaker 1>march and they're winning. Democracy is collapsing, not because it's

0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:50.640
<v Speaker 1>not good, but it's become weak and corrupt, and fascism

0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:54.160
<v Speaker 1>is rising in its place, as he did almost one

0:06:54.240 --> 0:07:00.200
<v Speaker 1>hundred years ago. This is an extraordinary moment, a dangerous one,

0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:04.440
<v Speaker 1>but it remains safely in the hands of the American people.

0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:08.960
<v Speaker 1>The leaders of the Democratic Party have deluded themselves, lied

0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:14.440
<v Speaker 1>to themselves, engaged in a gain of pretend. They looked away,

0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:19.000
<v Speaker 1>they wished away what was clearly in front of their eyes.

0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:23.240
<v Speaker 1>And here's the deal. Life does not permit such things.

0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:28.360
<v Speaker 1>It always catches up, and so it has. This moment

0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:35.400
<v Speaker 1>requires leadership, patriotism, conviction. It requires on the part of

0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden, and active humility and active patriotism the Patriot Front,

0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:45.600
<v Speaker 1>Mark Robinson, Donald Trump. This is all connected, and it

0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:49.440
<v Speaker 1>has been always from the beginning. We should understand it

0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:53.680
<v Speaker 1>as such. We should appreciate what we're witnessing. We don't

0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:57.640
<v Speaker 1>have much time left to stop it. In fact, there

0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:02.160
<v Speaker 1>are forty two days until the Democrats give away the

0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:06.600
<v Speaker 1>country to Project twenty twenty five and to Donald Trump.

0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:10.640
<v Speaker 1>And there are one hundred nineteen days until Donald Trump

0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:13.880
<v Speaker 1>will wait somewhere in a hotel suite, perhaps at Mar

0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:19.080
<v Speaker 1>A Lago, waiting as the seconds tick down, until the

0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:23.720
<v Speaker 1>networks are ready to make their projections. The difference is

0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:28.000
<v Speaker 1>in twenty and sixteen, the world was surprised, and in

0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:31.400
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty we all saw it happen and knew it

0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:34.560
<v Speaker 1>was over for Trump. But this time Trump is winning

0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.719
<v Speaker 1>and there won't be a surprise. When ABC News and

0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:41.839
<v Speaker 1>NBC News and CBS News and CNN and Fox all

0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:46.400
<v Speaker 1>say the words. Donald John Trump, the forty fifth President

0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:50.440
<v Speaker 1>of the United States, is tonight the President elect of

0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:56.680
<v Speaker 1>the United States. It will be a moment of immense tragedy,

0:08:57.040 --> 0:09:01.040
<v Speaker 1>a tragedy that could be seen as far are off

0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:05.400
<v Speaker 1>as any that has ever been able to be seen forming.

0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:08.720
<v Speaker 1>And we will have watched it come down the tracks

0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:11.920
<v Speaker 1>at us from the moment the light was just a

0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:16.640
<v Speaker 1>little pinprick peeking out in the dark until it ran

0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:22.360
<v Speaker 1>over everything. What shameful moment for the country, for the media,

0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:27.760
<v Speaker 1>for the Democratic Party. What a terrible low moment. But

0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:32.600
<v Speaker 1>it can be redeemed. There must be, though, another road taken.

0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:36.839
<v Speaker 1>And what that road rejects is self interest. What that

0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:41.040
<v Speaker 1>road rejects is power for the sake of war. What

0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:45.800
<v Speaker 1>it embraces is duty and honor and sacrifice. It is

0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:50.520
<v Speaker 1>the American road. And down that road awaits a brilliant

0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:54.720
<v Speaker 1>legacy for the forty sixth President of the United States.

0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:58.600
<v Speaker 1>And on the road not taken, something terrible waits, not

0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:04.280
<v Speaker 1>just defeat, an eradication of everything that Joe Biden has done,

0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:09.640
<v Speaker 1>because the only memory that will remain, the only indentation

0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:13.920
<v Speaker 1>in the sand that will persist is a legacy of

0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:18.400
<v Speaker 1>losing to Trump, the man whose ego found a rival

0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:24.880
<v Speaker 1>at long last, one hundred and nineteen days ago, forty

0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:29.040
<v Speaker 1>two days until Chicago. This is the warning. We are

0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:34.160
<v Speaker 1>running out of time. I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning,
