Speaker 1: Seventy days to go until the American people make the
Speaker 1: decision of the century, America or Trump. This is the
Speaker 1: warning speaking of Trump, with seventy days to go, he
Speaker 1: is running scared. In fact, you can see the yellow stripe,
Speaker 1: the stain running down his back from outer space on
Speaker 1: a cloudy day. You see. Donald Trump, after all, doesn't
Speaker 1: want to debate, at least not anymore. He wants the
Speaker 1: microphones to be muted, or maybe it's unmuted. No matter what,
Speaker 1: he'll find something to complain and to whine about. Donald
Speaker 1: Trump first entered my consciousness when I was a boy
Speaker 1: in the nineteen eighties, and he always reminded me of
Speaker 1: someone a bully, a great character from one of the
Speaker 1: great nineteen eighties movies, Scud Farcas from the Christmas Story.
Speaker 1: This has always been how I have perceived Trump, this
Speaker 1: exact face. Look at the two them together, but a
Speaker 1: perfect match. Now, bullies have something in common. They are
Speaker 1: most always physical cowards and always moral cowards. Bullies punch down,
Speaker 1: never up, and Donald Trump has made a living for
Speaker 1: a lifetime out of punching down. Donald's problem is he
Speaker 1: doesn't like it when he gets hit back, punched back
Speaker 1: he craters, He crumples into the ground. This man has
Speaker 1: the thinnest and frailest ego maybe in history. Truly, it's remarkable.
Speaker 1: The most delicate flower in the world, as I've long said,
Speaker 1: is the male ego. And there is no flower in
Speaker 1: all the world more delicate than the Trump flower. Let's
Speaker 1: take a look at the insane tweeting or whatever it's called. Now,
Speaker 1: look at it all, accumulate what total madness. This man
Speaker 1: wants to be the commander in chief again, and he's
Speaker 1: afraid of Kamala Harris because he understands humiliation will be
Speaker 1: at hand. He is an un serious man who was
Speaker 1: called out in such a brutal manner at the DNC
Speaker 1: that his shame will not permit him to face the
Speaker 1: woman that shamed him. That's what Powardice is now. Trump
Speaker 1: is entering a period of self sabotage because he's spinning.
Speaker 1: He's lost. The campaign, which was measuring drapes and predicting
Speaker 1: a landslide in the Atlantic magazine, is now losing by
Speaker 1: the widest margin sustained between opposing nominees in a very
Speaker 1: very long time. Kamala Harris is poised to be president
Speaker 1: because the entire premise of the race has been inverted.
Speaker 1: Thank God. Whom, what ever, is going to lose is
Speaker 1: the person the race is about, and the race is fully,
Speaker 1: absolutely about Donald Trump, the dominant cultural figure in the
Speaker 1: United States for the last ten years, made so by
Speaker 1: the media. Donald Trump nullified in four years the Obama presidency.
Speaker 1: He undid the tradition of the peaceful transition of power,
Speaker 1: which is the bedrock of the American civilization. He has
Speaker 1: upended every conceivable norm as he desecrated his oath of office.
Speaker 1: What the country was saying was we did not want
Speaker 1: the choice between Biden and Trump, and now that that
Speaker 1: choice is completed, it's over. There is a way out
Speaker 1: to turn the page. There's nothing obscure about this, there's
Speaker 1: nothing contradictory about it. The only way to move forward
Speaker 1: in America to anything better is by making the race
Speaker 1: about change, and the change is turning the page from
Speaker 1: the person who has dominated CNN's coverage, whether he was
Speaker 1: a candidate for president, a defeated presidential candidate, an insurrection
Speaker 1: as former president, a candidate for president, or the nominee. Again,
Speaker 1: it's the Trump show all the time. There's one issue
Speaker 1: in this election. Trump should Kamala Harris even debate him.
Speaker 1: Who cares? In the end, He's an adjudicated rapist and
Speaker 1: there is nothing, nothing to learn from him whatsoever. Donald
Speaker 1: Trump said he would do the debate. And so the
Speaker 1: great complainer has taken after George Stephanopolis yet again the
Speaker 1: great conspiracy always aligned against him. Now come fully to ABC.
Speaker 1: Everybody you see is out to screw for Donald. How
Speaker 1: can a country so strong, filled with so many tough
Speaker 1: people have it's such a weak, whining man, achulent as
Speaker 1: our president. And the answer is we can't, which is
Speaker 1: why he's losing. And since he's losing, he's complaining. Here's
Speaker 1: how President Obama put it, and this is perfect because
Speaker 1: it sums up Trump as fantastically as he can be
Speaker 1: sumped up.
Speaker 2: Here's a seventy eight year old billionaire who has not
Speaker 2: stopped whining about his problems since he wrote down his
Speaker 2: Golden Escalator nine years ago. It has been a constant
Speaker 2: stream of gripes and grievances that's actually been getting worse
Speaker 2: now that he's afraid of losing the comma. There's the
Speaker 2: childish nicknames, the crazy conspiracy theories, this weird obsession with
Speaker 2: crowd sizes.
Speaker 1: The great whiner, the great complainer, the weakest, most brittle
Speaker 1: cry baby in all the land? Is he going to debate?
Speaker 1: Who knows? Who cares about the drama? Kamala Harris should
Speaker 1: opt out of it. Say I have a schedule to make.
Speaker 1: I'll debate you any place, anytime, I need forty eight
Speaker 1: hours notice. But I'm not interested in the drama because
Speaker 1: you're an unseious man. Time for the Democrats to get
Speaker 1: very tough and to close out Trump, to corner him,
Speaker 1: to start pushing him off the edge of the map
Speaker 1: by seizing his issues, taking his space. Donald Trump is
Speaker 1: in big Trump. He knows it, the media knows it,
Speaker 1: and he's doing anything to throw something against the wall
Speaker 1: that might stick and help him get the ball back,
Speaker 1: because the truth of the matter is he's been flat
Speaker 1: on his back since the moment President Biden got out
Speaker 1: of the race. Driving Joe Biden from the race in
Speaker 1: a debate doesn't get you anything in a presidential campaign.
Speaker 1: What it got was Kamala Harris's de nominee. What it
Speaker 1: earned Trump his defeat in November. Maybe that's why he
Speaker 1: doesn't want to do another debate, because he feels like
Speaker 1: no matter what happens in it, he can't win. And
Speaker 1: there's some truth to that, because he's the worst president
Speaker 1: in American history. He's an unfit man who broke his oath,
Speaker 1: and the American people, given all the facts, will use
Speaker 1: their judgment and end this Trump era this November, seventy
Speaker 1: days from now. Then Trump's MAGA movement, filled with extremists,
Speaker 1: filled with people who care more about their faction and
Speaker 1: more about that man than their country, will do everything
Speaker 1: they can to put that loser into power over the
Speaker 1: will of the American people. No, we won't permit it,
Speaker 1: but it won't stop them from trying. Seventy days to go.
Speaker 1: What an exciting time to be alive, What a great
Speaker 1: time to be an American because these are consequential times.
Speaker 1: These are days that matter, and you have an opportunity
Speaker 1: to do some things that matter, to volunteer, to get involved,
Speaker 1: to make phone calls, to knock on doors, to spread
Speaker 1: the word, to be part of a bigger than yourself.
Speaker 1: Not every election and not every candidate represents fully in
Speaker 1: the way that Kamala Harris does the United States, but
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party, because it believes in the US Constitution.
Speaker 1: It believes in our elections, it believes in liberty for
Speaker 1: our people. Is the American party in this election. Trump's
Speaker 1: Republican Party has become something hideous and it must be
Speaker 1: burned to the ground in order for the green shoots
Speaker 1: to emerge, so this country can once again have a
Speaker 1: decent conservatism that can be part of the competition of
Speaker 1: ideas between Americans working together to perfect our union. This
Speaker 1: is the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning,
