Speaker 1: One. Nineteen days remain until the American people decide whether
Speaker 1: they save the United States from Trump. This is the warning.
Speaker 1: Forty two days remain until the Democratic National Convention decides
Speaker 1: if they save their party from Donald Trump, if they
Speaker 1: take action to win an election that according to David Axelrod,
Speaker 1: the chief strategist of the winning Obama two thousand and
Speaker 1: eight campaign, says, Joe Biden is losing and he is.
Speaker 1: David Axelrod and I share something in common. We are
Speaker 1: bound together for all time. I was the chief strategist
Speaker 1: for the losing campaign of that two thousand and eight campaign,
Speaker 1: John McCain's I have worked at the highest level of
Speaker 1: two presidential campaigns, a winning and a losing one. David
Speaker 1: Axelrod is one of the most brilliant political strategists that
Speaker 1: there has ever been. He is an expert in his field,
Speaker 1: is the founder of the University of Chicago Institute of Politics.
Speaker 1: He is a good man, and unlike many many people
Speaker 1: who work at the highest level of national politics, David
Speaker 1: Axelrod is an idealist. He is a believer. As his
Speaker 1: book says, he believes deeply in the Democratic Party in
Speaker 1: the United States and in our political system to make
Speaker 1: life better for ordinary people. It is what he has
Speaker 1: spent his entire life dedicated towards. Trust me, he takes
Speaker 1: no pleasure. One hundred and nineteen days before a presidential election,
Speaker 1: announcing it is over. This is the Patriot Front of
Speaker 1: fascist group marching in Nashville this week. When Trump becomes
Speaker 1: the forty seventh president of the United States without an
Speaker 1: intervention by democratic leaders who put the country before the
Speaker 1: ambitions and the ego of a man or that man's wife,
Speaker 1: We're going to see more of this, more and more,
Speaker 1: and then they'll take the masks off. The head of
Speaker 1: the Heritage Foundation, the home of Project twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: talked about the fact that if we all get in line,
Speaker 1: then the next American revolution, the one that's coming with
Speaker 1: Trump's election, can be bloodless. If everybody submits and there
Speaker 1: is no defiance, Kevin Roberts said, it can be a
Speaker 1: bloodless revolution. This is the state of things. A week
Speaker 1: and a half after the catastrophic debate between President Biden
Speaker 1: and Donald Trump. Let me ask you a question. When
Speaker 1: is the last time somebody landed a punch on Donald
Speaker 1: Trump's chin? When is the last time there has been
Speaker 1: an assault on MAGA that has hit home. When is
Speaker 1: the last month that somebody somewhere laid a glove on
Speaker 1: these people? And the answer is, I can't think of one.
Speaker 1: They're not in the fight, They're out of it. If
Speaker 1: the Biden campaign were a ship, it would be stalled,
Speaker 1: it would be drifting in the current and listing very
Speaker 1: very badly. The Biden campaign since the debate has spun
Speaker 1: and sunk, and spun some more and sunk some more.
Speaker 1: It has become a jumble of incoherence of delusion. The
Speaker 1: President's interview with George Stefanopholis was a case in point.
Speaker 1: Let's watch George Stefanopholis asked the President about his approval level.
Speaker 2: If you are told reliably from your allies, from your
Speaker 2: friends and supporters in the Democratic Party, in the House
Speaker 2: and the Senate that they're concerned you're going to lose
Speaker 2: the House in the Senate if you stay in, what
Speaker 2: will you do?
Speaker 1: I'm not can answer that question. It's not gonna happen.
Speaker 1: I really wish George Stefanoppholis had asked. It took me
Speaker 1: twelve hours after the fact to come up with the question.
Speaker 1: So I appreciate not doing it in the moment, but
Speaker 1: I really wish he had asked here, what do you
Speaker 1: think the approval level is, mister President. The President believes
Speaker 1: his accomplishments are historic. He is deeply aggrieved that they
Speaker 1: are not recognized as such. He is help bent a
Speaker 1: more more power, more time, more more, and more. He
Speaker 1: thinks the American people believe something they don't see, they
Speaker 1: don't believe. In the modern era of the United States
Speaker 1: and the American presidency, there has never been an interview
Speaker 1: with the commander in chief who is more completely out
Speaker 1: of touch with the sentiments of real people. Not in
Speaker 1: a maliced, vicious way, not in the Trump way, but
Speaker 1: just lost, completely unmoored, like a hermit crab living in
Speaker 1: a terrarium that thinks it is the jungle instead of
Speaker 1: a small glass ball. President is disoriented and the catastrophe
Speaker 1: that it has led all of us to the edge
Speaker 1: of is profound. Here is Mark Robinson, the Lieutenant Governor
Speaker 1: of North Carolina. Mark Robinson is running for governor. He
Speaker 1: is a Holocaust denier. He denies the murder of the
Speaker 1: Jews by the Nazis. He denies Auschwitz and trublinka and Magonik.
Speaker 1: He denies it all. Mark Robinson also last week stood
Speaker 1: in the pulpit of Magachurch. Do you know what he said?
Speaker 1: Did he talk about love, compassion? How about decency forgiveness?
Speaker 1: Did he talk prist message? He did not. Here's what
Speaker 1: he talked about killing. He said, some people need killing.
Speaker 1: Up against the wall, right, Mark, where is the outrage,
Speaker 1: Where is the response to this evil? Where is the
Speaker 1: mighty voice of the Democratic Party asserting Americanism. It's absence,
Speaker 1: it's whisper can't be heard. And this is the tragedy.
Speaker 1: Because Mark Robinson needs ferocious opposition. Mark Robinson needs to
Speaker 1: be called out. He needs to be castigated and rebuked
Speaker 1: and mocked, denigrated and humiliated, just like Trump, just like
Speaker 1: all of these people. But these people are on the
Speaker 1: march and they're winning. Democracy is collapsing, not because it's
Speaker 1: not good, but it's become weak and corrupt, and fascism
Speaker 1: is rising in its place, as he did almost one
Speaker 1: hundred years ago. This is an extraordinary moment, a dangerous one,
Speaker 1: but it remains safely in the hands of the American people.
Speaker 1: The leaders of the Democratic Party have deluded themselves, lied
Speaker 1: to themselves, engaged in a gain of pretend. They looked away,
Speaker 1: they wished away what was clearly in front of their eyes.
Speaker 1: And here's the deal. Life does not permit such things.
Speaker 1: It always catches up, and so it has. This moment
Speaker 1: requires leadership, patriotism, conviction. It requires on the part of
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, and active humility and active patriotism the Patriot Front,
Speaker 1: Mark Robinson, Donald Trump. This is all connected, and it
Speaker 1: has been always from the beginning. We should understand it
Speaker 1: as such. We should appreciate what we're witnessing. We don't
Speaker 1: have much time left to stop it. In fact, there
Speaker 1: are forty two days until the Democrats give away the
Speaker 1: country to Project twenty twenty five and to Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: And there are one hundred nineteen days until Donald Trump
Speaker 1: will wait somewhere in a hotel suite, perhaps at Mar
Speaker 1: A Lago, waiting as the seconds tick down, until the
Speaker 1: networks are ready to make their projections. The difference is
Speaker 1: in twenty and sixteen, the world was surprised, and in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty we all saw it happen and knew it
Speaker 1: was over for Trump. But this time Trump is winning
Speaker 1: and there won't be a surprise. When ABC News and
Speaker 1: NBC News and CBS News and CNN and Fox all
Speaker 1: say the words. Donald John Trump, the forty fifth President
Speaker 1: of the United States, is tonight the President elect of
Speaker 1: the United States. It will be a moment of immense tragedy,
Speaker 1: a tragedy that could be seen as far are off
Speaker 1: as any that has ever been able to be seen forming.
Speaker 1: And we will have watched it come down the tracks
Speaker 1: at us from the moment the light was just a
Speaker 1: little pinprick peeking out in the dark until it ran
Speaker 1: over everything. What shameful moment for the country, for the media,
Speaker 1: for the Democratic Party. What a terrible low moment. But
Speaker 1: it can be redeemed. There must be, though, another road taken.
Speaker 1: And what that road rejects is self interest. What that
Speaker 1: road rejects is power for the sake of war. What
Speaker 1: it embraces is duty and honor and sacrifice. It is
Speaker 1: the American road. And down that road awaits a brilliant
Speaker 1: legacy for the forty sixth President of the United States.
Speaker 1: And on the road not taken, something terrible waits, not
Speaker 1: just defeat, an eradication of everything that Joe Biden has done,
Speaker 1: because the only memory that will remain, the only indentation
Speaker 1: in the sand that will persist is a legacy of
Speaker 1: losing to Trump, the man whose ego found a rival
Speaker 1: at long last, one hundred and nineteen days ago, forty
Speaker 1: two days until Chicago. This is the warning. We are
Speaker 1: running out of time. I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning,
