WEBVTT - Donald Trump is a Bully

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Seventy days to go until the American people make the

0:00:03.200 --> 0:00:08.479
<v Speaker 1>decision of the century, America or Trump. This is the

0:00:08.520 --> 0:00:13.280
<v Speaker 1>warning speaking of Trump, with seventy days to go, he

0:00:13.440 --> 0:00:17.440
<v Speaker 1>is running scared. In fact, you can see the yellow stripe,

0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:21.360
<v Speaker 1>the stain running down his back from outer space on

0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:25.560
<v Speaker 1>a cloudy day. You see. Donald Trump, after all, doesn't

0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:28.840
<v Speaker 1>want to debate, at least not anymore. He wants the

0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:32.559
<v Speaker 1>microphones to be muted, or maybe it's unmuted. No matter what,

0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:37.240
<v Speaker 1>he'll find something to complain and to whine about. Donald

0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Trump first entered my consciousness when I was a boy

0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:43.760
<v Speaker 1>in the nineteen eighties, and he always reminded me of

0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:47.839
<v Speaker 1>someone a bully, a great character from one of the

0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:52.640
<v Speaker 1>great nineteen eighties movies, Scud Farcas from the Christmas Story.

0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:57.280
<v Speaker 1>This has always been how I have perceived Trump, this

0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:01.200
<v Speaker 1>exact face. Look at the two them together, but a

0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:06.319
<v Speaker 1>perfect match. Now, bullies have something in common. They are

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:13.640
<v Speaker 1>most always physical cowards and always moral cowards. Bullies punch down,

0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:18.200
<v Speaker 1>never up, and Donald Trump has made a living for

0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:22.920
<v Speaker 1>a lifetime out of punching down. Donald's problem is he

0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:26.440
<v Speaker 1>doesn't like it when he gets hit back, punched back

0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:32.160
<v Speaker 1>he craters, He crumples into the ground. This man has

0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 1>the thinnest and frailest ego maybe in history. Truly, it's remarkable.

0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:41.839
<v Speaker 1>The most delicate flower in the world, as I've long said,

0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:45.240
<v Speaker 1>is the male ego. And there is no flower in

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:49.680
<v Speaker 1>all the world more delicate than the Trump flower. Let's

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 1>take a look at the insane tweeting or whatever it's called. Now,

0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 1>look at it all, accumulate what total madness. This man

0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:04.240
<v Speaker 1>wants to be the commander in chief again, and he's

0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:10.120
<v Speaker 1>afraid of Kamala Harris because he understands humiliation will be

0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:14.400
<v Speaker 1>at hand. He is an un serious man who was

0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:18.800
<v Speaker 1>called out in such a brutal manner at the DNC

0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:23.640
<v Speaker 1>that his shame will not permit him to face the

0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:28.560
<v Speaker 1>woman that shamed him. That's what Powardice is now. Trump

0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:32.800
<v Speaker 1>is entering a period of self sabotage because he's spinning.

0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:38.400
<v Speaker 1>He's lost. The campaign, which was measuring drapes and predicting

0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:42.839
<v Speaker 1>a landslide in the Atlantic magazine, is now losing by

0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:48.120
<v Speaker 1>the widest margin sustained between opposing nominees in a very

0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:53.680
<v Speaker 1>very long time. Kamala Harris is poised to be president

0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:58.760
<v Speaker 1>because the entire premise of the race has been inverted.

0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 1>Thank God. Whom, what ever, is going to lose is

0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:07.280
<v Speaker 1>the person the race is about, and the race is fully,

0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:12.760
<v Speaker 1>absolutely about Donald Trump, the dominant cultural figure in the

0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:17.240
<v Speaker 1>United States for the last ten years, made so by

0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:21.919
<v Speaker 1>the media. Donald Trump nullified in four years the Obama presidency.

0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 1>He undid the tradition of the peaceful transition of power,

0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:29.239
<v Speaker 1>which is the bedrock of the American civilization. He has

0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:35.080
<v Speaker 1>upended every conceivable norm as he desecrated his oath of office.

0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 1>What the country was saying was we did not want

0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 1>the choice between Biden and Trump, and now that that

0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:48.600
<v Speaker 1>choice is completed, it's over. There is a way out

0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 1>to turn the page. There's nothing obscure about this, there's

0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:57.200
<v Speaker 1>nothing contradictory about it. The only way to move forward

0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:02.840
<v Speaker 1>in America to anything better is by making the race

0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:07.760
<v Speaker 1>about change, and the change is turning the page from

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 1>the person who has dominated CNN's coverage, whether he was

0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:16.440
<v Speaker 1>a candidate for president, a defeated presidential candidate, an insurrection

0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:20.839
<v Speaker 1>as former president, a candidate for president, or the nominee. Again,

0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:24.599
<v Speaker 1>it's the Trump show all the time. There's one issue

0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:28.600
<v Speaker 1>in this election. Trump should Kamala Harris even debate him.

0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Who cares? In the end, He's an adjudicated rapist and

0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:37.360
<v Speaker 1>there is nothing, nothing to learn from him whatsoever. Donald

0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:40.520
<v Speaker 1>Trump said he would do the debate. And so the

0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:45.320
<v Speaker 1>great complainer has taken after George Stephanopolis yet again the

0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:50.320
<v Speaker 1>great conspiracy always aligned against him. Now come fully to ABC.

0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Everybody you see is out to screw for Donald. How

0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:58.960
<v Speaker 1>can a country so strong, filled with so many tough

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 1>people have it's such a weak, whining man, achulent as

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:07.599
<v Speaker 1>our president. And the answer is we can't, which is

0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:11.239
<v Speaker 1>why he's losing. And since he's losing, he's complaining. Here's

0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:14.800
<v Speaker 1>how President Obama put it, and this is perfect because

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:18.719
<v Speaker 1>it sums up Trump as fantastically as he can be

0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:19.400
<v Speaker 1>sumped up.

0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:24.039
<v Speaker 2>Here's a seventy eight year old billionaire who has not

0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:29.120
<v Speaker 2>stopped whining about his problems since he wrote down his

0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:33.479
<v Speaker 2>Golden Escalator nine years ago. It has been a constant

0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:39.960
<v Speaker 2>stream of gripes and grievances that's actually been getting worse

0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 2>now that he's afraid of losing the comma. There's the

0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:50.039
<v Speaker 2>childish nicknames, the crazy conspiracy theories, this weird obsession with

0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:51.360
<v Speaker 2>crowd sizes.

0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:57.960
<v Speaker 1>The great whiner, the great complainer, the weakest, most brittle

0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:02.400
<v Speaker 1>cry baby in all the land? Is he going to debate?

0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Who knows? Who cares about the drama? Kamala Harris should

0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.320
<v Speaker 1>opt out of it. Say I have a schedule to make.

0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:12.080
<v Speaker 1>I'll debate you any place, anytime, I need forty eight

0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:14.960
<v Speaker 1>hours notice. But I'm not interested in the drama because

0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:18.480
<v Speaker 1>you're an unseious man. Time for the Democrats to get

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.479
<v Speaker 1>very tough and to close out Trump, to corner him,

0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:23.800
<v Speaker 1>to start pushing him off the edge of the map

0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:27.800
<v Speaker 1>by seizing his issues, taking his space. Donald Trump is

0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.600
<v Speaker 1>in big Trump. He knows it, the media knows it,

0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:33.800
<v Speaker 1>and he's doing anything to throw something against the wall

0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:36.680
<v Speaker 1>that might stick and help him get the ball back,

0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.000
<v Speaker 1>because the truth of the matter is he's been flat

0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:42.040
<v Speaker 1>on his back since the moment President Biden got out

0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:45.200
<v Speaker 1>of the race. Driving Joe Biden from the race in

0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:48.760
<v Speaker 1>a debate doesn't get you anything in a presidential campaign.

0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:52.520
<v Speaker 1>What it got was Kamala Harris's de nominee. What it

0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:56.279
<v Speaker 1>earned Trump his defeat in November. Maybe that's why he

0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:59.080
<v Speaker 1>doesn't want to do another debate, because he feels like

0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:01.960
<v Speaker 1>no matter what happens in it, he can't win. And

0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:04.479
<v Speaker 1>there's some truth to that, because he's the worst president

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:08.320
<v Speaker 1>in American history. He's an unfit man who broke his oath,

0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:12.240
<v Speaker 1>and the American people, given all the facts, will use

0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:17.560
<v Speaker 1>their judgment and end this Trump era this November, seventy

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:23.320
<v Speaker 1>days from now. Then Trump's MAGA movement, filled with extremists,

0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:26.360
<v Speaker 1>filled with people who care more about their faction and

0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:29.440
<v Speaker 1>more about that man than their country, will do everything

0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:33.640
<v Speaker 1>they can to put that loser into power over the

0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:36.800
<v Speaker 1>will of the American people. No, we won't permit it,

0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:40.080
<v Speaker 1>but it won't stop them from trying. Seventy days to go.

0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:42.840
<v Speaker 1>What an exciting time to be alive, What a great

0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:46.320
<v Speaker 1>time to be an American because these are consequential times.

0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:50.239
<v Speaker 1>These are days that matter, and you have an opportunity

0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:54.080
<v Speaker 1>to do some things that matter, to volunteer, to get involved,

0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:57.240
<v Speaker 1>to make phone calls, to knock on doors, to spread

0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:01.800
<v Speaker 1>the word, to be part of a bigger than yourself.

0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Not every election and not every candidate represents fully in

0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:09.840
<v Speaker 1>the way that Kamala Harris does the United States, but

0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:13.760
<v Speaker 1>the Democratic Party, because it believes in the US Constitution.

0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:17.000
<v Speaker 1>It believes in our elections, it believes in liberty for

0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:21.440
<v Speaker 1>our people. Is the American party in this election. Trump's

0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:25.360
<v Speaker 1>Republican Party has become something hideous and it must be

0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:28.640
<v Speaker 1>burned to the ground in order for the green shoots

0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:32.280
<v Speaker 1>to emerge, so this country can once again have a

0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:37.160
<v Speaker 1>decent conservatism that can be part of the competition of

0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:45.440
<v Speaker 1>ideas between Americans working together to perfect our union. This

0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:49.600
<v Speaker 1>is the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning,
