Speaker 1: This is the warning. It is July twenty third, twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four. There are one hundred and four days left
Speaker 1: until the American people decide who will be the forty
Speaker 1: seventh President of the United States. Twenty seven days remain
Speaker 1: until the beginning of the Democratic National Convention. Kamala Harris
Speaker 1: is off to a very strong start. This is exactly
Speaker 1: how you lay a glove on Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: As a courtroom prosecutor, in those roles, I took on
Speaker 2: perpetrators of all kinds, Predators who abused women, broadsters who
Speaker 2: ripped off consumers, cheaters who broke the rules for their
Speaker 2: own gain. So hear me when I say I know
Speaker 2: Donald Trump's type.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the state of the race. Donald Trump
Speaker 1: has gone from being absolutely certain to be elected president
Speaker 1: to have having a real contest on his hands. But
Speaker 1: the reality is it's basically a tie race. Kamala Harris
Speaker 1: is very much in it. She can win the race. Now,
Speaker 1: there is a lot of praise for Joe Biden in
Speaker 1: this moment. The truth of the matter is this, Joe
Speaker 1: Biden has stepped away from power. He has fulfilled an
Speaker 1: implicit promise he made. But he was running for president
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, but he fulfilled that promise very late.
Speaker 1: There are two finite commodities in a political campaign. One
Speaker 1: is time, one is money. The truth is the presumptive nominee,
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, will not be hurt by lack of money.
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris raised eighty one million dollars in her first
Speaker 1: day atop the ticket. The truth of the matter is
Speaker 1: support is coalesced around to Kamala Harris, bottom up and
Speaker 1: top down. She is the leader of the Democratic Party,
Speaker 1: and history and fate have chosen her to be the
Speaker 1: person who stands in the center of the ring against
Speaker 1: an American fascist in twenty twenty four, who must defend
Speaker 1: America's democracy. She must do it with a great deal
Speaker 1: of toughness. Here is why Joe Biden had to leave
Speaker 1: the race, because it had become about him, and he
Speaker 1: had forfeited honesty. Because his capacity, which the American people
Speaker 1: were told over and over and over again was perfect,
Speaker 1: he was the wisest in the land, had clearly diminished
Speaker 1: and everybody could see it. And a great many Democrats
Speaker 1: responded to that by saying there was something wrong with
Speaker 1: the voters as opposed to something very deeply dishonest going on.
Speaker 1: When the race became solely about Biden and Democrats lost honesty,
Speaker 1: Trump went ahead. There is a simple truth about this
Speaker 1: race that makes it very very easy to understand whoever
Speaker 1: it is about will lose. Period. The test for Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris right now is to take liabilities and turn them
Speaker 1: into assets. For example, her laugh is made fun of.
Speaker 1: Use the laugh to make fun of Trump, and your
Speaker 1: laugh won't be so much the focus anymore. Laughing at
Speaker 1: Trump will be. And by the way, her laugh isn't
Speaker 1: half as weird as this guy's maniacal laugh. I love
Speaker 1: you guys. Now let's watch the menace and the insanity
Speaker 1: of the Republican Party. Here is an Ohio State senator.
Speaker 3: I'm afraid if we lose this one, it's going to
Speaker 3: take a civil war to save the country.
Speaker 1: What a complete and total disgracy. Ohio was a Union state.
Speaker 1: Ohio men bled and died in nominers so that the
Speaker 1: United States could be preserved. And their this idiot is
Speaker 1: talking about killing. This is what these people mean when
Speaker 1: they talk about some people need killing. Trump is a fashion.
Speaker 1: Is violence, This is the preface to the violence. Is
Speaker 1: a violent movement is a violent party. How are they
Speaker 1: reacting to Kamala Harris as the presumptive Democratic nominee. Let's
Speaker 1: watch Trump maniac Goebels of the MAGA movement Stephen Miller
Speaker 1: losing it on Fox News.
Speaker 3: They held a primary, people, they had ballots, They filled
Speaker 3: out circles, they went to the voting boosts, they spent
Speaker 3: money on advertisements, and as President Trump said, the Republican
Speaker 3: Party suspend tens of millions of dollars running against Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: For the first time in a long time, the Democratic
Speaker 1: Party has the ball again. The script has been flipped,
Speaker 1: it has been wiped away. All of the resources necessary
Speaker 1: to win will be at hand, but there must be
Speaker 1: a victory worth having. Kamala Harris must enunciate a vision
Speaker 1: for the future. And the simple truth is she's about
Speaker 1: to be tested. She's going to be hit hard, She's
Speaker 1: going to be smeared, and she needs to brush it off.
Speaker 1: She needs to laugh at it. And every day she
Speaker 1: needs to take the fight to Donald Trump and make
Speaker 1: the race about him. That's how you beat him, that's
Speaker 1: how you win. She must galvanize young people. She must
Speaker 1: swim into cultural currents Kamala Harris must laugh at old
Speaker 1: man Trump. She must laugh at his foolishness and incoherence
Speaker 1: and bluster and idiocy and decrepitude. Look at him, He's
Speaker 1: falling apart. One thing that has struck me is how
Speaker 1: many people suddenly believe that, since Joe Biden is out
Speaker 1: of the race, that they have the credibility suddenly to
Speaker 1: say that Donald Trump is too old. After vigorously defending
Speaker 1: the Biden candidacy until seventy two hours ago and telling
Speaker 1: the American people that they weren't seeing what they were
Speaker 1: clearly seeing. They should stop talking about age because it's
Speaker 1: painful to watch their credibility for their emily. I'm not
Speaker 1: one of those people. I've been consistent about this for
Speaker 1: an extremely long time, about the urgent moral necessity for
Speaker 1: generational change. I said that Joe Biden was too old.
Speaker 1: I said that Joe Biden should run for one term
Speaker 1: two years ago. It would have been better if he
Speaker 1: did that we could have seen a competition among the
Speaker 1: next generation of Democratic candidates. But that didn't happen, and
Speaker 1: the party is weaker for it. But the party has
Speaker 1: not lost the race yet because of it. That's important
Speaker 1: During these days ahead, the race must be once again
Speaker 1: about the only issue that matters, and that issue is Trump.
Speaker 1: It's a dangerous, fascist, menace, a man who's threatened violence
Speaker 1: and retribution, and like his idiot acolyte from Ohio, threatening
Speaker 1: civil war. We must tell these people no, We must
Speaker 1: say to them, how dare you? How dare you threaten me?
Speaker 1: Threaten my children and my family. I'm sick of it,
Speaker 1: and so should all of you be. This is the warning.
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is off to a very strong start. She
Speaker 1: has the ball and she hit Trump horrid yesterday, and
Speaker 1: she has to do it again today, and again and
Speaker 1: again and again. The race must be about Trump. It
Speaker 1: is only about Trump. Kamala Harris is ready to be
Speaker 1: president of the United States. She has taken command of
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party and she did it with authority, grace,
Speaker 1: and decisiveness. She's on center stage now and the lights
Speaker 1: are shining on her. She's up for this. The country
Speaker 1: needs her to be up for it. The world needs
Speaker 1: her to be up for it. I'm Steve Schmidt. This
Speaker 1: is the warning, and I invite you to join. Subscribe
