1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,280 Speaker 1: It is Monday, and from the fourth largest city in 2 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:09,240 Speaker 1: North America, Toronto, good morning. This is the warning. Ninety 3 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,879 Speaker 1: one days to go until the American presidential election, fourteen 4 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,239 Speaker 1: days until the gavel drops on the opening of the 5 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 1: Democratic National Convention. And at this hour, Vice President Harris 6 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 1: is making her final decision. Who will it be? Will 7 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: it be this man, combat veteran test pilot, NASA astronaut, 8 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 1: the husband of Gabby Giffertz, a US Senator, a man 9 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: who certainly has the right stuff, Mark Kelly. Or will 10 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: it be the young Democratic Governor of Kentucky, Andy Pusher? 11 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 1: Or will it be the highly capable governor of the 12 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: state of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro. Any of them, all of them, really, 13 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: any elected official in the Democratic Party would be a 14 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: plus up from this guy. America's most despised weirdo JD. 15 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: Vans pro tip for Trump. By the way, this weekend 16 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,479 Speaker 1: he said, Hey, JD. Vance and I aren't weird. If 17 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: you're standing in front of the crowd, particularly if you're 18 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 1: the co leader and you're talking about we're not weird, 19 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: it's a surefire sign that you're weird one hundred percent 20 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 1: Because people who aren't weird. Don't go out anywhere ever 21 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: and declare that they aren't weird. But Trump is the 22 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 1: whole families, Donald Trump Junior and Kimberly Guilfoyle certainly, are 23 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: you imagine living next to these people? Weird? Hude and Kus, 24 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: the two brothers who are the engineers of the most 25 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: disastrous vice presidential pick ever. JD. Vans, a man who, 26 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: according to a highly reputable photographer, wears eyeliner to make 27 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: his blue eyes pop. Now, look, I don't give a shit, 28 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: but I just didn't think the boy George look was 29 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: something that would pop with the Maga bros. But at 30 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: any rate, each his own, every fascist movement has its 31 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: own riddles. At any rate, J D. Vance, who is 32 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: the most unpopular person. It seems that Trump could have 33 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: picked out of a nation of three hundred and thirty 34 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: million people, was picked by the Trump boys, Rude and Cusy. 35 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: These two scuttled the Marco Rubio pick, which was done 36 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 1: Susie Wiles and Chris los Sevida. The Trump campaign maestros 37 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: thought they had it in the bag. Trump wanted Doug Bergham, 38 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: and for once he listened to his sons. Did you 39 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: know that Trump was worried about naming his kid Donald. 40 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,239 Speaker 1: It's true. He said, what if the kid turns out 41 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: to be a loser. Trump's a loser. He's going to 42 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: lose two presidential elections in the popular vote three times. 43 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: He will be the only person save William Jennings, Bryan 44 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: and Henry Clay to lose the popular vote in three 45 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: presidential elections. He's losing because he has no vision, because 46 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,959 Speaker 1: he's cruel, because he's mean, because he's incompetent, and he 47 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: was a terrible president. He's completely insane. And the evidence 48 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: of that was his incoherence this weekend when he spoke. 49 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: It is appalling. Trump is under pressure. He doesn't do 50 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: well under pressure. He's spinning. And now the cowardly Trump 51 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 1: says he won't do the debate. He says, I'll only 52 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: do the debate if it's on Fox News. He wants 53 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: Fox to fill an arena. Fox has no credibility. Brett 54 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: Baer and Martha McCallum have no credibility. Brett Beher was 55 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: afraid to tell the Fox News audience that Trump lost 56 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: the election. Fox News is the platform that spread the 57 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: great lie that is poisoned American society paid almost a 58 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: billion dollars for lying about the election, and Trump thinks 59 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: he can mandate a Fox News live machine debate when 60 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: he's losing the election. Doesn't work like that. Happy Chandler 61 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: was the commissioner of baseball who desegregated the gay but 62 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: before that, he was the governor of Kentucky. When Happy 63 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: Chandler has asked why wouldn't debate his opponent, he replied, 64 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: you tell that son of a bitch to go get 65 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: his own publicity. The election is about Donald Trump. You 66 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: don't have to debate Donald Trump for the election to 67 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: be about him. In fact, the debate is the way 68 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 1: it can turn into an election about Kamala Harris, which 69 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: is bad. Must be an election about Trump, and she 70 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: doesn't need it because she has surged into the lead 71 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: and is spreading. All of this is before the Democratic 72 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 1: National Convention, which NOE doubt will be brilliantly run, given 73 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: that Stephanie Cutter, one of the very best democratic strategists 74 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: of her generation, is once again in charge, repeating the 75 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 1: bravo performance of twenty twenty when she captivated the nation 76 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: with a magically designed convention while the whole country sat 77 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: home at COVID. It was perfectly done, and this historic convention, 78 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: no doubt, will be emotional, restorative, and it will offer 79 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: a vision for the future of America. As Kamala Harris 80 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: steps forward and says, I am ready to lead America 81 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: into the third and fourth decades of the twenty first century. 82 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, the forty seventh President of the United States, 83 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: will be the president when America turns two hundred and fifty. 84 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: It's an amazing accomplishment. Trump is going down, he's decomposing, 85 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: He's unraveling. It's a good thing. There'll be some tough 86 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: days ahead, some hard moments in the campaign, but in 87 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: the end, good guys are winning. Remember it's more of 88 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: us than there are of them. Never allow this extremist 89 00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: maga minority to take political power in this country. Never. 90 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: What they count on is indifference and apathy plus extremism. 91 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: Let's not give it to them. This is the warning. 92 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 1: I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning, and I invite 93 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: you to join.
