WEBVTT - Technical Difficulties for Team Trump

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:02.719
<v Speaker 1>It's less than one week to go to the historic

0:00:02.759 --> 0:00:06.280
<v Speaker 1>conveniing of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, and it

0:00:06.400 --> 0:00:10.000
<v Speaker 1>is eighty three days until somewhere out there in the

0:00:10.119 --> 0:00:14.600
<v Speaker 1>vast expanse that is the United States, the last American

0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:19.880
<v Speaker 1>will cast their vote in a fair and legitimate election

0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:23.960
<v Speaker 1>for president of the United States. And if Donald Trump

0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:28.600
<v Speaker 1>loses that election, he's made clear, insurrection is on the

0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:34.360
<v Speaker 1>holiday season event calendar. This is the warning. The polling

0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:37.040
<v Speaker 1>meetings at the Trump campaign must look like the early

0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:42.720
<v Speaker 1>days of Chernobyl. For Gorbitraw, it's meltdown city. Every day

0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:47.040
<v Speaker 1>the numbers are worse. Kamala Harris's lead is growing. States

0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:51.280
<v Speaker 1>that Donald Trump was stretching into his column and probably

0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:55.480
<v Speaker 1>are gone, and swing states that he was leading he's

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:59.680
<v Speaker 1>now losing. It's all flipping away, and he is in

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:03.880
<v Speaker 1>aged about it. He's looking for a reboot. So who

0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:07.920
<v Speaker 1>else do you turn to? That's right, Elon Musk, I

0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:10.680
<v Speaker 1>guess the best way to summarize what happened last night

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:16.399
<v Speaker 1>are the pleadings of fellow billionaire Bill Ackman. Elon, we

0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:19.800
<v Speaker 1>can't get on. We can't get on. Donald Trump said

0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:24.840
<v Speaker 1>crazy things this week, things like to crowds and Kamala

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Harris's rallies aren't real. They're AI generated. The conspiracy theories

0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:34.000
<v Speaker 1>are a bit much ten years in. What we're seeing

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:38.080
<v Speaker 1>is somebody melting down because their toy is being taken away.

0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 1>And that toy is our lives America power. He's not

0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:44.679
<v Speaker 1>going to get it back, and he knows it. He

0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:47.840
<v Speaker 1>sniffs it out of the air, he feels it, he

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 1>knows the energy is gone. Look at him, he's pale.

0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:53.640
<v Speaker 1>And this man wants to be commander in chief of

0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 1>the nuclear Arsenal again. No, they are a serious events

0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:02.280
<v Speaker 1>transpiring in the world. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin did

0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:05.960
<v Speaker 1>something that is rarely done. He announced the presence of

0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:10.200
<v Speaker 1>a ballistic missile submarine in the presence of the Middle East.

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:14.400
<v Speaker 1>It's an announcement, it's a warning to the Iranians. They're

0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:18.160
<v Speaker 1>preparing an attack. It's said to be massive. Will it.

0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 1>Events can still determine the outcome of the presidential race.

0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:28.679
<v Speaker 1>Home Depot has ominous news about the economy. Consumer spending

0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:34.120
<v Speaker 1>on home improvements is slowing. There will be bumpy days ahead.

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Tim Walls is being smeared by Donald Trump and by

0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:44.320
<v Speaker 1>the right wing media, and sadly by dishonorable former colleagues,

0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:51.480
<v Speaker 1>despicably including a former battalion commander of the unit, disparaging

0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:55.680
<v Speaker 1>the twenty four year service of the command sergeant major

0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.680
<v Speaker 1>of the battalion who retired with the rank of master

0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 1>sergeant but served honorably as the lieutenant colonel knows. But

0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 1>this is politics, cruel business, despicable business. But somehow Kamala

0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Harris is one of those people that's touched, touched enough

0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:16.000
<v Speaker 1>to bring back some joy, some grace. Look at the smile.

0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump's noticed it. He said she's beautiful. Compared her

0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:24.200
<v Speaker 1>to Milania. Well, one thing's for sure, Milania hates him,

0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:28.240
<v Speaker 1>even if Kamala Harris doesn't. He just wants to retire

0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:31.200
<v Speaker 1>him forever from public life. The fact of the matter

0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:35.400
<v Speaker 1>is is that soon Donald Trump will be regaling patio guests,

0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:39.200
<v Speaker 1>captives club members, however you wish to think about it

0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:42.839
<v Speaker 1>at Mari A Lago for declining membership prices every year

0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.360
<v Speaker 1>for the rest of his natural life, which no doubt

0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:48.480
<v Speaker 1>will last to one hundred and fifteen. Those people will

0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:51.240
<v Speaker 1>get to hear how the election was stolen, how he's

0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:54.200
<v Speaker 1>a victim. All the grievances, all the millions of them,

0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:56.920
<v Speaker 1>but all the rest of us won't. We'll be spared

0:03:56.960 --> 0:04:00.240
<v Speaker 1>from it because the country's moving on from ten years

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:04.960
<v Speaker 1>of this insanity, ten years of debacle, ten years of

0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Trump the dominant cultural figure, because of the broken media,

0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:12.760
<v Speaker 1>because of the greed of the media corporations, because of cynicism,

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:15.640
<v Speaker 1>because of the lust for power. Something better is on

0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:19.800
<v Speaker 1>the way, and it's coming soon. Nine days until Kamala

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:23.320
<v Speaker 1>Harris gets ready to speak, it's going to be great.

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:27.280
<v Speaker 1>This is a moment of generational change. This is a

0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:31.040
<v Speaker 1>moment of renewal, and this is a moment that will

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:35.080
<v Speaker 1>demonstrate the resilience of democracy. How quickly things can go

0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:40.160
<v Speaker 1>from darkness to light, how quickly from despair to hope.

0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:45.920
<v Speaker 1>These are historic days, on precedented days. Politically, all of

0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:50.160
<v Speaker 1>the science point to a breaking system. And the system

0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:54.160
<v Speaker 1>has lifted somebody up. Who has offered a restaur it

0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:59.920
<v Speaker 1>of and that's Kamala Harris, the daughter of immigrants from Oakland, California,

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Vice President of the United States, on the edge of

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:08.360
<v Speaker 1>becoming the Democratic nominee at a consequential hour when freedom

0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:11.800
<v Speaker 1>is on the ballot, freedom to choose to live, your

0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:17.920
<v Speaker 1>life to pursue happiness. That is what MAGA seeks to

0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:22.440
<v Speaker 1>take away with a dogma of control that holds you

0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:25.640
<v Speaker 1>are a cog in the machinery of the state. You

0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:30.320
<v Speaker 1>serve the leader and his cause. No thanks, This is America.

0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:34.120
<v Speaker 1>If you want to bandite your ear and venerate Donald Trump,

0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:38.240
<v Speaker 1>build a big shrine in your backyard, knock yourself out.

0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:42.000
<v Speaker 1>But the majority of US I suspect, will not stand

0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:46.799
<v Speaker 1>for your imposing the imposition of Trump on the country

0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:50.200
<v Speaker 1>by a minority that is angry that the majority of

0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:52.360
<v Speaker 1>US don't want it. We don't want it. We don't

0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:54.359
<v Speaker 1>want to be told what to do from cradle to

0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:58.360
<v Speaker 1>grave by religious suctures and political fraudsters. We don't want

0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:01.599
<v Speaker 1>to be bossed around. We don't want to be intimidated

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:05.160
<v Speaker 1>it threatens. We don't want a president who promises revenge

0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:10.480
<v Speaker 1>and retribution. We want normalcy. We want decency, We want respect,

0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:17.760
<v Speaker 1>good judgment, kindness. The country will want Vice President Kamala Harris.

0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:21.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm standing on the shores of a beautiful spot, Lake Huron,

0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:25.880
<v Speaker 1>Mackina Island in Michigan. This is a place is frozen

0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:29.400
<v Speaker 1>in time. There are no motorized vehicles here. It has

0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 1>always been that way from eighteen ninety six. Yet the

0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:38.040
<v Speaker 1>signs of American progress are all around us. Americans walk

0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:41.119
<v Speaker 1>down the streets eating ice cream cones, not at war

0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:45.440
<v Speaker 1>with one another, Blacks and whites, women wearing hit jobs,

0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:50.840
<v Speaker 1>men wearing yamicas. This is the real America, not a

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:54.800
<v Speaker 1>country at war with itself, not a collection of the

0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:59.279
<v Speaker 1>lowest common denominator thugs who got elected to in office

0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:02.560
<v Speaker 1>in Washington, in DC. We are not three hundred and

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:06.120
<v Speaker 1>fifty million Marjorie Taylor Greens. But in a nation at

0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:09.200
<v Speaker 1>three hundred and fifty million people, you're going to get

0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:12.960
<v Speaker 1>some of those. We should understand, though, that those people

0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:17.480
<v Speaker 1>aren't us, and don't embody the great virtues that build

0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:20.840
<v Speaker 1>the country to make it possible to dream of the

0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:24.080
<v Speaker 1>day when we will truly live in a just society.

0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:27.640
<v Speaker 1>And that's what politics is about. That's what these conventions

0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:31.840
<v Speaker 1>are about. These are historic affairs and gatherings. History will

0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:34.760
<v Speaker 1>be made this week on the way to the election

0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:38.440
<v Speaker 1>of the first woman president of the United States, President

0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:42.320
<v Speaker 1>Kamala Harris, forty seventh President of the United States, who

0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:46.240
<v Speaker 1>will take the oath of office at noon on January twentieth,

0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:50.240
<v Speaker 1>while Donald Trump, Crize and mar Lago and that will

0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:54.280
<v Speaker 1>be a good day. This is the warning. Eighty three

0:07:54.400 --> 0:08:00.480
<v Speaker 1>days do something. Get involved. I'm Steve Schmidt. This is

0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:03.680
