Speaker 1: It is Monday, and from the fourth largest city in
Speaker 1: North America, Toronto, good morning. This is the warning. Ninety
Speaker 1: one days to go until the American presidential election, fourteen
Speaker 1: days until the gavel drops on the opening of the
Speaker 1: Democratic National Convention. And at this hour, Vice President Harris
Speaker 1: is making her final decision. Who will it be? Will
Speaker 1: it be this man, combat veteran test pilot, NASA astronaut,
Speaker 1: the husband of Gabby Giffertz, a US Senator, a man
Speaker 1: who certainly has the right stuff, Mark Kelly. Or will
Speaker 1: it be the young Democratic Governor of Kentucky, Andy Pusher?
Speaker 1: Or will it be the highly capable governor of the
Speaker 1: state of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro. Any of them, all of them, really,
Speaker 1: any elected official in the Democratic Party would be a
Speaker 1: plus up from this guy. America's most despised weirdo JD.
Speaker 1: Vans pro tip for Trump. By the way, this weekend
Speaker 1: he said, Hey, JD. Vance and I aren't weird. If
Speaker 1: you're standing in front of the crowd, particularly if you're
Speaker 1: the co leader and you're talking about we're not weird,
Speaker 1: it's a surefire sign that you're weird one hundred percent
Speaker 1: Because people who aren't weird. Don't go out anywhere ever
Speaker 1: and declare that they aren't weird. But Trump is the
Speaker 1: whole families, Donald Trump Junior and Kimberly Guilfoyle certainly, are
Speaker 1: you imagine living next to these people? Weird? Hude and Kus,
Speaker 1: the two brothers who are the engineers of the most
Speaker 1: disastrous vice presidential pick ever. JD. Vans, a man who,
Speaker 1: according to a highly reputable photographer, wears eyeliner to make
Speaker 1: his blue eyes pop. Now, look, I don't give a shit,
Speaker 1: but I just didn't think the boy George look was
Speaker 1: something that would pop with the Maga bros. But at
Speaker 1: any rate, each his own, every fascist movement has its
Speaker 1: own riddles. At any rate, J D. Vance, who is
Speaker 1: the most unpopular person. It seems that Trump could have
Speaker 1: picked out of a nation of three hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: million people, was picked by the Trump boys, Rude and Cusy.
Speaker 1: These two scuttled the Marco Rubio pick, which was done
Speaker 1: Susie Wiles and Chris los Sevida. The Trump campaign maestros
Speaker 1: thought they had it in the bag. Trump wanted Doug Bergham,
Speaker 1: and for once he listened to his sons. Did you
Speaker 1: know that Trump was worried about naming his kid Donald.
Speaker 1: It's true. He said, what if the kid turns out
Speaker 1: to be a loser. Trump's a loser. He's going to
Speaker 1: lose two presidential elections in the popular vote three times.
Speaker 1: He will be the only person save William Jennings, Bryan
Speaker 1: and Henry Clay to lose the popular vote in three
Speaker 1: presidential elections. He's losing because he has no vision, because
Speaker 1: he's cruel, because he's mean, because he's incompetent, and he
Speaker 1: was a terrible president. He's completely insane. And the evidence
Speaker 1: of that was his incoherence this weekend when he spoke.
Speaker 1: It is appalling. Trump is under pressure. He doesn't do
Speaker 1: well under pressure. He's spinning. And now the cowardly Trump
Speaker 1: says he won't do the debate. He says, I'll only
Speaker 1: do the debate if it's on Fox News. He wants
Speaker 1: Fox to fill an arena. Fox has no credibility. Brett
Speaker 1: Baer and Martha McCallum have no credibility. Brett Beher was
Speaker 1: afraid to tell the Fox News audience that Trump lost
Speaker 1: the election. Fox News is the platform that spread the
Speaker 1: great lie that is poisoned American society paid almost a
Speaker 1: billion dollars for lying about the election, and Trump thinks
Speaker 1: he can mandate a Fox News live machine debate when
Speaker 1: he's losing the election. Doesn't work like that. Happy Chandler
Speaker 1: was the commissioner of baseball who desegregated the gay but
Speaker 1: before that, he was the governor of Kentucky. When Happy
Speaker 1: Chandler has asked why wouldn't debate his opponent, he replied,
Speaker 1: you tell that son of a bitch to go get
Speaker 1: his own publicity. The election is about Donald Trump. You
Speaker 1: don't have to debate Donald Trump for the election to
Speaker 1: be about him. In fact, the debate is the way
Speaker 1: it can turn into an election about Kamala Harris, which
Speaker 1: is bad. Must be an election about Trump, and she
Speaker 1: doesn't need it because she has surged into the lead
Speaker 1: and is spreading. All of this is before the Democratic
Speaker 1: National Convention, which NOE doubt will be brilliantly run, given
Speaker 1: that Stephanie Cutter, one of the very best democratic strategists
Speaker 1: of her generation, is once again in charge, repeating the
Speaker 1: bravo performance of twenty twenty when she captivated the nation
Speaker 1: with a magically designed convention while the whole country sat
Speaker 1: home at COVID. It was perfectly done, and this historic convention,
Speaker 1: no doubt, will be emotional, restorative, and it will offer
Speaker 1: a vision for the future of America. As Kamala Harris
Speaker 1: steps forward and says, I am ready to lead America
Speaker 1: into the third and fourth decades of the twenty first century.
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, the forty seventh President of the United States,
Speaker 1: will be the president when America turns two hundred and fifty.
Speaker 1: It's an amazing accomplishment. Trump is going down, he's decomposing,
Speaker 1: He's unraveling. It's a good thing. There'll be some tough
Speaker 1: days ahead, some hard moments in the campaign, but in
Speaker 1: the end, good guys are winning. Remember it's more of
Speaker 1: us than there are of them. Never allow this extremist
Speaker 1: maga minority to take political power in this country. Never.
Speaker 1: What they count on is indifference and apathy plus extremism.
Speaker 1: Let's not give it to them. This is the warning.
