1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: Twenty seven days to go until the American people will 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: decide who controls America's nuclear arsenal. This is the warning 3 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: Vice President Kamala Harris had a wonderful July and even 4 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:20,759 Speaker 1: better August in a magical September. October is not off 5 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: to a good start. The Tim Walls debate was a 6 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: debacle Strategically. Walls had exactly one job to do, which 7 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: was to confront jd Vance, who is a fascist, a fraud, 8 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: and a vicious racist demagogue. Instead, Tim Walls made him 9 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 1: seem like barbecue dad next door, as opposed to the 10 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: guy who looked into the camera and said Patians are 11 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,279 Speaker 1: eating cats and dogs. Here is the thing about this 12 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: race strategically that I've said many many times, whoever this 13 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: election is about, is the person who is losing the election. 14 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: October is not off to a good start. Kamala Harris 15 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,119 Speaker 1: is twenty seven days out and on the night before 16 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 1: what is being built as the most catastrophic storm, not 17 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: in Florida history, not in American history, but in North 18 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: American history. She's cracking beers with Stephen Colbert. 19 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 2: Elections I think are one on vibes because one of 20 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,680 Speaker 2: the old saws is. They just want somebody that they 21 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 2: can have a beer with. 22 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 3: So would you like to have a beer with me? 23 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 2: So I can tell people what that's like. Okay, this 24 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 2: was now we asked ahead of time, because I can't 25 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 2: just be given a drink to the vice president, I'd says, 26 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:45,559 Speaker 2: ask me, you asked for Miller fil l I I'm 27 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 2: just curious. 28 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 4: Okay, the last time I had beer was at a 29 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 4: baseball game with Dougs cheers. 30 00:01:54,080 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 2: There you go, ooh, that is like a beautiful city 31 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 2: of Milwaukee. 32 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 3: There you go? 33 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:11,119 Speaker 1: Is that appropriate? Does that demonstrate good judgment? Step back 34 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: for a second and imagine you are Kamala Harris's advisor. 35 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: What is the very first question that you would prepare 36 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 1: her for? 37 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 2: Would you have done something differently than President Biden during 38 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 2: the past four years? 39 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 4: There is not a thing that comes to mind in 40 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 4: terms of and I've been a part of. 41 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 5: Most of the decisions that have had impact. 42 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 1: Now, I appreciate that many of you right now are 43 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: very upset, very very upset that you're hearing criticism of 44 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: the campaign twenty seven days out. But here's the deal. 45 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: Very very soon, every single voter in every swing state 46 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,679 Speaker 1: will hear precisely what the Vice President said on the 47 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 1: view with images of Afghanistan and images of the border 48 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: next to it and image of gas prices. Why is 49 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: the Vice president, twenty seven days before an election, on 50 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: a media tour making her the target as opposed to 51 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: prosecuting the case against the fascist Donald Trump who was 52 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: threatening retribution against the American people, threatening to lock up 53 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: his political opponents, and threatening to create a police state, 54 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: deploying the military for a mass deportation of fifteen million people. 55 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris made a strategic decision that she was not 56 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: going to engage with the American media in the way 57 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: that John McCain did, That she was going to control 58 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: the message, that it was going to be a disciplined campaign. 59 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: And now at the end, when the American people, in 60 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: poll after poll after poll for months, have been saying 61 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: they want a need to know a little bit more 62 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: about Kamala Harris, the way the campaign has decided to 63 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: do that is by making her a target, as opposed 64 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: to delivering a handful of speeches that articulate her philosophy, 65 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: her philosophy about the country, about the moment in time, 66 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: and about the people who live in the country. Twenty 67 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: seven days from now, the polls will close in Hawaii. 68 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 1: By that time, it will be eleven PM in California. 69 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 1: In two am in the East, the last American will 70 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 1: have voted, and we will likely know by that hour 71 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: the results of the election. Everything is on the line. 72 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: I am someone who Donald Trump has made clear he 73 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 1: intends to prosecute, along with thousands of other Americans who 74 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: have dared to speak up, assert our First Amendment rights 75 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: and oppose him. The Vice President ran a perfect campaign 76 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: in July. She ran a better campaign in August. September 77 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: was magical. We are a few days into October and 78 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 1: it's not going well. The campaign needs to keep the 79 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: race focused on what the race is about. The race 80 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: is about Donald Trump and his insanity, his threats of violence, 81 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 1: his dogma of taking his quest for control over the 82 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: lives of millions of American women who lose their rights. 83 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,919 Speaker 1: This movement of Trump's is dangerous and it's deranged. The 84 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: election is very close. Let me close today by showing 85 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: you the man who could be the next Attorney General 86 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 1: of the United States. 87 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 5: I'll think give advice to any young man that's out there. 88 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 5: I'm married now, I have children, but I wasn't married 89 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 5: that long ago. 90 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 3: I was single. 91 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 5: I was in the market. If you're a young man, 92 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 5: it's very important an election season. Who's looking to impress ladies, 93 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 5: to be the alpha, to be attractive. The best thing 94 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 5: you can do is to wear your Trump support on 95 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 5: your sleeve. Show that you are a real man, Show 96 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 5: that you are not a better right be at and 97 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 5: loud Trump supporter, and your dating life will be fantastic. 98 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: This man, in this cause will wreck America. It's Kamala 99 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: Harris's job to stop it. It's her campaign's job to 100 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: make sure she doesn't lose the election. They seem to 101 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: understand that over July, August, and September it would be 102 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: best if they get back on track, let's say by 103 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: October fifteenth. For all of you out there and raged 104 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: and upset because you've been exposed to reality, let me 105 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 1: just say that I'm going to double down. I want 106 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: you to pay attention to what Harry Enton of CNN 107 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: is talking about. Because no political party has gotten elected 108 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: to the office of President of the United States when 109 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: the presidency is held by a member of that party 110 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 1: with an approval level where Biden's. 111 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 4: Is I think that this sort of gets at a 112 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 4: problem for Kamala Harris's campaign. Just twenty eight percent of 113 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 4: Americans think the US is on the right track. And 114 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 4: I want you to put that in a perspective. Right, 115 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 4: when does the average when the end party loses the election? 116 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 4: Look at that it's just twenty five percent. That looks 117 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 4: a heck of a lot like that twenty eight percent 118 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 4: right that currently think the country is on the right track. 119 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 4: When the White House Party wins, ie Kamala Harris's party, 120 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 4: the Democrats, forty two percent on average think that the 121 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 4: country is on the right track. This twenty five percent 122 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 4: looks a lot more like this twenty eight percent. 123 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 3: It doesn't look anything like this forty two percent. 124 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 4: This to me is a bad sign for Kamala Harris's campaign. 125 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 4: The bottom line is it looks a lot more like 126 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 4: a loser than it does like a winner when it 127 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 4: comes to the country being on the right track. Can 128 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 4: an incumbent party win with numbers like this? 129 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 3: Yeah? 130 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 4: So if we look historically speaking, right and we say, okay, 131 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 4: say the US is on the right track. 132 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 3: The incumbent party when they win. 133 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 4: Today, again, it's just twenty eight percent. Look throughout history 134 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 4: right ninety six, eighty eighth. 135 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 3: Four to twelve eighty four. In all of these instances. 136 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 4: In all these instances, far more than twenty eight percent 137 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 4: thought that the country was on the right track. 138 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 3: Thirty nine was the lowest. Back in nineteen hundred and. 139 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 4: Ninety six, we got upwards of forty seven percent eighty four. 140 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,239 Speaker 4: Of course, that was a blowout right for Ronald Reagan. 141 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 4: So there is no historical precedent for the White House 142 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 4: Party winning another term in the White House when the 143 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 4: country when just twenty eight percent of the country thinks 144 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 4: that were on the right track. John simply put, it 145 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 4: would be historically unprecedent. 146 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is the gravest threat to the United States 147 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: of America since the Civil War. The way we get 148 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: him back into the Oval office is by drinking beers 149 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: with Stephen Colbert on the edge of catastrophe and going 150 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: on the view and being unable to answer a question 151 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: about anything you might do differently. October is the month 152 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: that decides elections, not July, not August, and not September. 153 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: There are some quotes that have defined presidential campaigns in 154 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: recent years. John Kerries, I voted for it before I 155 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: voted against it. Mitt Romney's quote about the forty seven 156 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 1: percent of the country that were freely voters, John McCain saying, 157 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: on the edge of financial collapse, the fundamentals of the 158 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: economy were strong. I can't think of anything could be 159 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: such a line. Let's hope that it doesn't turn out 160 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: to be aligned. That costs the Harris team the campaign, 161 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: but the magnitude of the mistake made on the view 162 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: was enormous. It's the type of mistake that loses campaigns, 163 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: and the way you avoid that mistake is stop making 164 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:30,239 Speaker 1: the candidate a target. She's not running for the Democratic 165 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: nomination in the early primary states. This is October of 166 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: a general election in a near even race. Keep the 167 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: other guy the target. Make yourself a small one strategy 168 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 1: one oh one. This is the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt. 169 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: This is the warning, and I invite you to join. 170 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: Subscribe on our substack, on our YouTube channel, follow us. 171 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to the community.
