1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: Seventy days to go until the American people make the 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:08,479 Speaker 1: decision of the century, America or Trump. This is the 3 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 1: warning speaking of Trump, with seventy days to go, he 4 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,440 Speaker 1: is running scared. In fact, you can see the yellow stripe, 5 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: the stain running down his back from outer space on 6 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: a cloudy day. You see. Donald Trump, after all, doesn't 7 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: want to debate, at least not anymore. He wants the 8 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,559 Speaker 1: microphones to be muted, or maybe it's unmuted. No matter what, 9 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 1: he'll find something to complain and to whine about. Donald 10 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: Trump first entered my consciousness when I was a boy 11 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: in the nineteen eighties, and he always reminded me of 12 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 1: someone a bully, a great character from one of the 13 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: great nineteen eighties movies, Scud Farcas from the Christmas Story. 14 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: This has always been how I have perceived Trump, this 15 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: exact face. Look at the two them together, but a 16 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: perfect match. Now, bullies have something in common. They are 17 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: most always physical cowards and always moral cowards. Bullies punch down, 18 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: never up, and Donald Trump has made a living for 19 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: a lifetime out of punching down. Donald's problem is he 20 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: doesn't like it when he gets hit back, punched back 21 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: he craters, He crumples into the ground. This man has 22 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: the thinnest and frailest ego maybe in history. Truly, it's remarkable. 23 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,839 Speaker 1: The most delicate flower in the world, as I've long said, 24 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: is the male ego. And there is no flower in 25 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: all the world more delicate than the Trump flower. Let's 26 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: take a look at the insane tweeting or whatever it's called. Now, 27 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: look at it all, accumulate what total madness. This man 28 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: wants to be the commander in chief again, and he's 29 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: afraid of Kamala Harris because he understands humiliation will be 30 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: at hand. He is an un serious man who was 31 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: called out in such a brutal manner at the DNC 32 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 1: that his shame will not permit him to face the 33 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: woman that shamed him. That's what Powardice is now. Trump 34 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 1: is entering a period of self sabotage because he's spinning. 35 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: He's lost. The campaign, which was measuring drapes and predicting 36 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,839 Speaker 1: a landslide in the Atlantic magazine, is now losing by 37 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: the widest margin sustained between opposing nominees in a very 38 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: very long time. Kamala Harris is poised to be president 39 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: because the entire premise of the race has been inverted. 40 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: Thank God. Whom, what ever, is going to lose is 41 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: the person the race is about, and the race is fully, 42 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: absolutely about Donald Trump, the dominant cultural figure in the 43 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: United States for the last ten years, made so by 44 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: the media. Donald Trump nullified in four years the Obama presidency. 45 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: He undid the tradition of the peaceful transition of power, 46 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 1: which is the bedrock of the American civilization. He has 47 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: upended every conceivable norm as he desecrated his oath of office. 48 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: What the country was saying was we did not want 49 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: the choice between Biden and Trump, and now that that 50 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: choice is completed, it's over. There is a way out 51 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: to turn the page. There's nothing obscure about this, there's 52 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: nothing contradictory about it. The only way to move forward 53 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: in America to anything better is by making the race 54 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: about change, and the change is turning the page from 55 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: the person who has dominated CNN's coverage, whether he was 56 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: a candidate for president, a defeated presidential candidate, an insurrection 57 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 1: as former president, a candidate for president, or the nominee. Again, 58 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 1: it's the Trump show all the time. There's one issue 59 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: in this election. Trump should Kamala Harris even debate him. 60 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: Who cares? In the end, He's an adjudicated rapist and 61 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: there is nothing, nothing to learn from him whatsoever. Donald 62 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: Trump said he would do the debate. And so the 63 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: great complainer has taken after George Stephanopolis yet again the 64 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: great conspiracy always aligned against him. Now come fully to ABC. 65 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: Everybody you see is out to screw for Donald. How 66 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: can a country so strong, filled with so many tough 67 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: people have it's such a weak, whining man, achulent as 68 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 1: our president. And the answer is we can't, which is 69 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,239 Speaker 1: why he's losing. And since he's losing, he's complaining. Here's 70 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: how President Obama put it, and this is perfect because 71 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 1: it sums up Trump as fantastically as he can be 72 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: sumped up. 73 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 2: Here's a seventy eight year old billionaire who has not 74 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 2: stopped whining about his problems since he wrote down his 75 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 2: Golden Escalator nine years ago. It has been a constant 76 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 2: stream of gripes and grievances that's actually been getting worse 77 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 2: now that he's afraid of losing the comma. There's the 78 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 2: childish nicknames, the crazy conspiracy theories, this weird obsession with 79 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 2: crowd sizes. 80 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: The great whiner, the great complainer, the weakest, most brittle 81 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: cry baby in all the land? Is he going to debate? 82 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: Who knows? Who cares about the drama? Kamala Harris should 83 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: opt out of it. Say I have a schedule to make. 84 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: I'll debate you any place, anytime, I need forty eight 85 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: hours notice. But I'm not interested in the drama because 86 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: you're an unseious man. Time for the Democrats to get 87 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 1: very tough and to close out Trump, to corner him, 88 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: to start pushing him off the edge of the map 89 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: by seizing his issues, taking his space. Donald Trump is 90 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: in big Trump. He knows it, the media knows it, 91 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: and he's doing anything to throw something against the wall 92 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: that might stick and help him get the ball back, 93 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: because the truth of the matter is he's been flat 94 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: on his back since the moment President Biden got out 95 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: of the race. Driving Joe Biden from the race in 96 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: a debate doesn't get you anything in a presidential campaign. 97 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: What it got was Kamala Harris's de nominee. What it 98 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: earned Trump his defeat in November. Maybe that's why he 99 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: doesn't want to do another debate, because he feels like 100 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: no matter what happens in it, he can't win. And 101 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 1: there's some truth to that, because he's the worst president 102 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: in American history. He's an unfit man who broke his oath, 103 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: and the American people, given all the facts, will use 104 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: their judgment and end this Trump era this November, seventy 105 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: days from now. Then Trump's MAGA movement, filled with extremists, 106 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: filled with people who care more about their faction and 107 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: more about that man than their country, will do everything 108 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: they can to put that loser into power over the 109 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: will of the American people. No, we won't permit it, 110 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: but it won't stop them from trying. Seventy days to go. 111 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: What an exciting time to be alive, What a great 112 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: time to be an American because these are consequential times. 113 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,239 Speaker 1: These are days that matter, and you have an opportunity 114 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: to do some things that matter, to volunteer, to get involved, 115 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: to make phone calls, to knock on doors, to spread 116 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: the word, to be part of a bigger than yourself. 117 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: Not every election and not every candidate represents fully in 118 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: the way that Kamala Harris does the United States, but 119 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party, because it believes in the US Constitution. 120 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: It believes in our elections, it believes in liberty for 121 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: our people. Is the American party in this election. Trump's 122 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: Republican Party has become something hideous and it must be 123 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: burned to the ground in order for the green shoots 124 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: to emerge, so this country can once again have a 125 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: decent conservatism that can be part of the competition of 126 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: ideas between Americans working together to perfect our union. This 127 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: is the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning, 128 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,119 Speaker 1: and I invite you to join.
