1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: This is the warning. It is July twenty third, twenty

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: twenty four. There are one hundred and four days left

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: until the American people decide who will be the forty

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: seventh President of the United States. Twenty seven days remain

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: until the beginning of the Democratic National Convention. Kamala Harris

6
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: is off to a very strong start. This is exactly

7
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: how you lay a glove on Donald Trump.

8
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 2: As a courtroom prosecutor, in those roles, I took on

9
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 2: perpetrators of all kinds, Predators who abused women, broadsters who

10
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 2: ripped off consumers, cheaters who broke the rules for their

11
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 2: own gain. So hear me when I say I know

12
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 2: Donald Trump's type.

13
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the state of the race. Donald Trump

14
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: has gone from being absolutely certain to be elected president

15
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: to have having a real contest on his hands. But

16
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: the reality is it's basically a tie race. Kamala Harris

17
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: is very much in it. She can win the race. Now,

18
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 1: there is a lot of praise for Joe Biden in

19
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: this moment. The truth of the matter is this, Joe

20
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: Biden has stepped away from power. He has fulfilled an

21
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 1: implicit promise he made. But he was running for president

22
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, but he fulfilled that promise very late.

23
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: There are two finite commodities in a political campaign. One

24
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: is time, one is money. The truth is the presumptive nominee,

25
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, will not be hurt by lack of money.

26
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris raised eighty one million dollars in her first

27
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: day atop the ticket. The truth of the matter is

28
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: support is coalesced around to Kamala Harris, bottom up and

29
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: top down. She is the leader of the Democratic Party,

30
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: and history and fate have chosen her to be the

31
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: person who stands in the center of the ring against

32
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: an American fascist in twenty twenty four, who must defend

33
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: America's democracy. She must do it with a great deal

34
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: of toughness. Here is why Joe Biden had to leave

35
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: the race, because it had become about him, and he

36
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: had forfeited honesty. Because his capacity, which the American people

37
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: were told over and over and over again was perfect,

38
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: he was the wisest in the land, had clearly diminished

39
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: and everybody could see it. And a great many Democrats

40
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: responded to that by saying there was something wrong with

41
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: the voters as opposed to something very deeply dishonest going on.

42
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: When the race became solely about Biden and Democrats lost honesty,

43
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: Trump went ahead. There is a simple truth about this

44
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: race that makes it very very easy to understand whoever

45
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: it is about will lose. Period. The test for Kamala

46
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: Harris right now is to take liabilities and turn them

47
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: into assets. For example, her laugh is made fun of.

48
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: Use the laugh to make fun of Trump, and your

49
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: laugh won't be so much the focus anymore. Laughing at

50
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: Trump will be. And by the way, her laugh isn't

51
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:33,839
Speaker 1: half as weird as this guy's maniacal laugh. I love

52
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: you guys. Now let's watch the menace and the insanity

53
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: of the Republican Party. Here is an Ohio State senator.

54
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 3: I'm afraid if we lose this one, it's going to

55
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 3: take a civil war to save the country.

56
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: What a complete and total disgracy. Ohio was a Union state.

57
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: Ohio men bled and died in nominers so that the

58
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: United States could be preserved. And their this idiot is

59
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: talking about killing. This is what these people mean when

60
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: they talk about some people need killing. Trump is a fashion.

61
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: Is violence, This is the preface to the violence. Is

62
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: a violent movement is a violent party. How are they

63
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: reacting to Kamala Harris as the presumptive Democratic nominee. Let's

64
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: watch Trump maniac Goebels of the MAGA movement Stephen Miller

65
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: losing it on Fox News.

66
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 3: They held a primary, people, they had ballots, They filled

67
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 3: out circles, they went to the voting boosts, they spent

68
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 3: money on advertisements, and as President Trump said, the Republican

69
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 3: Party suspend tens of millions of dollars running against Joe Biden.

70
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: For the first time in a long time, the Democratic

71
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: Party has the ball again. The script has been flipped,

72
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: it has been wiped away. All of the resources necessary

73
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: to win will be at hand, but there must be

74
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: a victory worth having. Kamala Harris must enunciate a vision

75
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: for the future. And the simple truth is she's about

76
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: to be tested. She's going to be hit hard, She's

77
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: going to be smeared, and she needs to brush it off.

78
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: She needs to laugh at it. And every day she

79
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: needs to take the fight to Donald Trump and make

80
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: the race about him. That's how you beat him, that's

81
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: how you win. She must galvanize young people. She must

82
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: swim into cultural currents Kamala Harris must laugh at old

83
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 1: man Trump. She must laugh at his foolishness and incoherence

84
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: and bluster and idiocy and decrepitude. Look at him, He's

85
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: falling apart. One thing that has struck me is how

86
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: many people suddenly believe that, since Joe Biden is out

87
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: of the race, that they have the credibility suddenly to

88
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: say that Donald Trump is too old. After vigorously defending

89
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: the Biden candidacy until seventy two hours ago and telling

90
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: the American people that they weren't seeing what they were

91
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: clearly seeing. They should stop talking about age because it's

92
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: painful to watch their credibility for their emily. I'm not

93
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 1: one of those people. I've been consistent about this for

94
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: an extremely long time, about the urgent moral necessity for

95
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 1: generational change. I said that Joe Biden was too old.

96
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: I said that Joe Biden should run for one term

97
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: two years ago. It would have been better if he

98
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: did that we could have seen a competition among the

99
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: next generation of Democratic candidates. But that didn't happen, and

100
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: the party is weaker for it. But the party has

101
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: not lost the race yet because of it. That's important

102
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: During these days ahead, the race must be once again

103
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: about the only issue that matters, and that issue is Trump.

104
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: It's a dangerous, fascist, menace, a man who's threatened violence

105
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: and retribution, and like his idiot acolyte from Ohio, threatening

106
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: civil war. We must tell these people no, We must

107
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: say to them, how dare you? How dare you threaten me?

108
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: Threaten my children and my family. I'm sick of it,

109
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: and so should all of you be. This is the warning.

110
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is off to a very strong start. She

111
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: has the ball and she hit Trump horrid yesterday, and

112
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: she has to do it again today, and again and

113
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: again and again. The race must be about Trump. It

114
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: is only about Trump. Kamala Harris is ready to be

115
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: president of the United States. She has taken command of

116
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party and she did it with authority, grace,

117
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: and decisiveness. She's on center stage now and the lights

118
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: are shining on her. She's up for this. The country

119
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: needs her to be up for it. The world needs

120
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: her to be up for it. I'm Steve Schmidt. This
